BALDOR ELECTRIC COMPANY AND AFFILIATES  

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


July 1, 1995

BASIS OF PRESENTATION:  The unaudited consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements, and therefore should be read in
conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1994.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included.  The results of operations for the six months ended July
1, 1995, may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the
fiscal year ending December 30, 1995.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES:  The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115 - "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities" in the first quarter of 1994.  Adoption of this standard did not
have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.  Marketable
securities are available for sale to support current operations or to take
advantage of other investment opportunities.  These securities are stated at
estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, included
in retained earnings.  Interest on securities classified as available-for-
sale is included in other income.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
-------   ---------------------------------------------------------------
          Results of Operations
          ---------------------

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the fourteenth consecutive quarter, sales and earnings set records for both
the quarter and the year-to-date periods.  Second quarter sales of $121,839,000
were up 16.2% over second quarter 1994 sales of $104,812,000.  Year-to-date
1995 sales of $236,424,000 were up 16.9% over year-to-date 1994 sales of
$202,288,000.  International sales (exports and sales by foreign affiliates),
which  comprise 13.2% of total year-to-date sales, were also strong, up 17.4%
in the second quarter and up 19.1% year-to-date over the same periods in
1994.

Sales growth was broad-based with good growth across numerous product lines,
industries, and geographic regions.  Both distributor and OEM business was
strong with some of the core OEM markets such as Food Processing, Blowers and
Fans, and Pumps doing especially well.  Sales of drives (motors + controls)
also remained strong with year-to-date sales of these products increasing at
about four times the rate of motor sales.

Second quarter 1995 earnings of $8,261,000 were up 25.1% over second quarter
1994 and year-to-date 1995 earnings of $15,932,000 were up 29.7% over the
first six months of 1994.  The Company's gross margin for the second quarter
of 1995 was 29.3% compared to 29.3% for the first quarter of 1995 and 28.8%
for the second quarter of 1994.  Pre-tax margins were 11.1% for the second
quarter and 11.0% for the first six months of 1995.  For both the quarter and
year-to-date, margins have benefitted from higher sales volumes and the
effects of productivity and cost improvements.

Second quarter 1995 selling and administrative expense at 16.9% of net sales
is the lowest since the second quarter of 1984 and continued an improving
trend, down from 17.0% of net sales in the first quarter of 1995 and 17.2% of
net sales in the second quarter of 1994.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 

Through the first six months of 1995, the Company's financial position
remains strong with cash and marketable securities over $27.3 million. 
Working capital increased to $132.9 million at July 1, 1995, from $118.6
million at December 31, 1994.  The ratio of long-term borrowing to total
capitalization (shareholders' equity and long-term borrowings) was 11.4% at
July 1, 1995,  compared to 12.5% at December 31, 1994.  The current ratio at
July 1, 1995 remains strong at 3.3 times.

At their meeting on August 7, 1995, the Board of Directors declared a three-
for-two stock split effected in the form of a 50% stock dividend to be
distributed September 6, 1995 to shareholders of record on August 18, 1995.
The Board also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.09 per share on the 
increased number of shares payable September 29, 1995 to shareholders of record
on September 18, 1995.  Lastly, the Board of Directors approved a stock
repurchase program which authorizes the company to purchase up to one million
shares through December 31, 1996.
