BALDOR ELECTRIC COMPANY AND AFFILIATE

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


April 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 three months ended
April 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.

PART I.   FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the thirteenth quarter, sales and earnings set records.  Sales for the
first quarter of 1995 were $114,585,000, up 17.6% over sales of $97,476,000
for the first quarter of 1994.  International sales (exports and sales by
foreign affiliates), which comprise 12.5% of total first quarter sales,
were up 21.1% over the same period last year. 

Sales growth was broad-based with good growth across many product lines,
industries, and geographic regions.  Both distributor and OEM business was
strong.  OEM sales were particularly strong, especially in Packaging
Machinery, Machine Tools-Metal Cutting, Food Processing, and Hydraulic Pumps. 
Sales of drives (motors + controls) were also strong.  For the first quarter
of 1995, drives sales increased at over three times the rate of motor sales. 
Pricing was 5.6% above first quarter 1994 levels.

First quarter 1995 net earnings of $7,671,000 were up 35.1% over first
quarter 1994 net earnings of $5,678,000.  For the quarter, margins have
benefitted from higher sales volumes, higher selling prices, and the effects
of productivity and cost improvements.

The first quarter 1995 gross margin was 29.3% compared to 28.6% for the first
quarter of 1994.  Increases in raw material costs since the first quarter of
1994 have been offset by increases in selling prices since the first quarter
of 1994.  Manufacturing cost reductions continued to show good improvement
due to increased volume levels, investments in equipment, improvements in
manufacturing technology, and increases in productivity.

First quarter 1995 selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net
sales continued an improving trend at 17.0%, well below the 1994 first
quarter of 17.8%.  This decline was due mainly to the continued emphasis on
productivity improvements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Through the first three months of 1995, the Company's financial position
remained strong with cash and marketable securities at $38.5 million. 
Working capital increased to $129.2 million at April 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 12.1% at
April 1, 1995, compared to 12.5% at December 31, 1994.  The current ratio at
April 1, 1995 was 3.0 to 1.0 compared to 2.9 to 1.0 at December 31, 1994.
