              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and reflect
      all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in
      the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
      financial position and operating results for the interim periods. The
      December 31, 1998 condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited
      financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by
      generally accepted accounting principles. The condensed consolidated
      financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
      financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual
      Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998. Due to the seasonal
      nature of the Company's business, the results of operations for the
      interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the
      entire fiscal year.

      The financial data required in this Form 10-Q by Rule 10.01 of Regulation
      S-X have been reviewed by Ciulla, Smith & Dale, LLP, the Company's
      independent certified public accountants, as described in their report
      contained elsewhere herein.

3.    In anticipation of the devaluation of the Brazilian Real in early 1999,
      the Company's Brazilian subsidiary invested in forward exchange contracts
      denominated in $25 million U.S. dollars. This hedging activity was settled
      in the first quarter of 1999, resulting in the recognition of an $8.6
      million nonrecurring gain ($5.6 million or $.27 per share after tax).
      Under applicable accounting standards, foreign currency transaction gains
      and losses are recorded in net income, and foreign currency translation
      gains and losses are reflected in other comprehensive income.

5.    Basic and diluted earnings per share are equivalent. Earnings per share is
      computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
      for the periods reported. The weighted average number of common shares
      used in the computations were 20,712,322 at March 31, 1999 and 21,742,062
      at March 31, 1998.

6.    During the first quarter of 1999, Tecumseh Products Company repurchased
      340,000 shares of its Class A common stock at a cost of $16.5 million.

7.    The Company has been named by the EPA as a potentially responsible party
      in connection with the Sheboygan River and Harbor Superfund Site in
      Wisconsin. At March 31, 1999, the Company had an accrual of $33.1 million
      ($33.8 million at December 31, 1998) for estimated costs associated with
      the cleanup of certain polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) contamination at
      this Superfund Site. The Company has based the estimated cost of cleanup
      on the results of the EPA-overseen remediation investigation and
      feasibility study and on various assumptions concerning the areas that
      will be required to undergo active remediation. Significant assumptions
      underlying the estimated costs are that active remediation will be limited
      to the upper river near the Company's facility and that only monitored
      natural armoring will be required in the middle river and the lower river
      and harbor. 
   
      The EPA has indicated it expects to issue a record of decision on the
      cleanup of the Sheboygan River and Harbor Site in 1999, but the ultimate
      resolution of the matter may take much longer. The ultimate costs to the
      Company will be dependent upon factors beyond its control. These factors
      include the scope and methodology of the remedial action requirements to
      be established by the EPA (in consultation with the Wisconsin Department
      of Natural Resources (WDNR)), rapidly changing technology, the extent of 
      any natural resource damages, and the outcome of any related litigation.

      The Company, in cooperation with the WDNR, is conducting an investigation
      of soil and groundwater contamination at the Company's Grafton, Wisconsin
      plant. Certain test procedures are underway to assess the extent of
      contamination and to develop remedial options for the site. While the
      Company has provided for estimated investigation and on-site remediation
      costs, the extent and timing of future off-site remediation requirements,
      if any, are not presently determinable.

      The WDNR has requested that the Company and other interested parties join
      it in a cooperative effort to clean up PCB contamination in the watershed
      of the south branch of the Manitowoc River, downstream of the Company's
      New Holstein, Wisconsin facility. The Company has cooperated to date with
      the WDNR in investigating the scope and range of the contamination.
      Although results of ongoing feasibility studies are not yet available, the
      Company has provided for preliminary investigation expenses. It is not
      possible at this time to reasonably estimate the cost of any such
      participation.

      In addition to the above mentioned sites, the Company is also currently
      participating with the EPA and various state agencies at certain other
      sites to determine the nature and extent of any remedial action which may
      be necessary with regard to such other sites. Based on limited preliminary
      data and other information currently available, the Company has no reason
      to believe that the level of expenditures for potential remedial action
      necessary at these other sites will have a material effect on its
      financial position.


9.    Various lawsuits and claims, including those involving ordinary routine
      litigation incidental to its business, to which the Company is a party,
      are pending, or have been asserted, against the Company. Although the
      outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and some may
      be disposed of unfavorably to the Company, management has no reason to
      believe that their disposition will have a materially adverse effect on
      the consolidated financial position of the Company.

10.   The Company has three reportable segments based on the similarity of
      products produced: Compressor Products, Engine & Power Train Products, and
      Pump Products. There has been no change since the prior year-end in the
      methods used to determine reportable segments or in measuring segment
      income. There has been no material change in segment total assets (other
      than changes due to normal, cyclical business operations) since December
      31, 1998. Revenues and operating income by segment for the periods
      indicated are as follows:

                         INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

May 10, 1999


Tecumseh Products Company
Tecumseh, Michigan


         We have reviewed the consolidated condensed balance sheet of Tecumseh
Products Company and Subsidiaries as of March 31, 1999, and the related
consolidated condensed statements of income and cash flows for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 and 1998. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management.

         We have conducted our review in accordance with standards established
by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is
the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

         Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications
that should be made to the consolidated condensed financial statements referred
to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

         We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1998, and
the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash
flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated
January 29, 1999, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated
financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the
accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 1998, is
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance
sheet from which it has been derived.

                   TECUMSEH PRODUCTS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
                     PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION -- ITEM 2
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Consolidated sales for the first quarter of $489.4 million increased
6.4% over the 1998 first quarter. Net income for the first quarter of 1999
totaled $42.5 million, or $2.05 per share, including a nonrecurring gain of $8.6
million ($5.6 million or $.27 per share after tax) on currency hedging.
Excluding the nonrecurring gain, 1999 first quarter earnings were $36.9 million
or $1.78 per share as compared with earnings of $24.9 million or $1.15 per share
in the first quarter of 1998. Excellent sales growth was achieved in the Engine
and Power Train business and strong earnings growth was recorded in both the
Compressor and Engine and Power Train businesses.


Compressor Products
         Compressor Products sales declined somewhat from 1998 levels
principally because of lower sales to customers in Brazil. In early January the
Brazilian currency, the Real, was sharply devalued on international currency
markets and the government of Brazil raised interest rates. The resultant
economic slowdown within the country has reduced Brazilian domestic demand for
refrigeration and air conditioning products that utilize our components. On the
other hand, the devaluation of the Real has had a beneficial impact on margins
earned on our products exported from Brazil. Largely because of this more
favorable profitability on Brazilian exports, our overall Compressor Products
margins improved to 9.9% in the first quarter of 1999 as compared with margins
of 7.3% in the first quarter of 1998.

         Compressor Products sales and earnings for the first quarter of 1999
improved modestly in North America but were down in Europe in comparison with
the 1998 first quarter.

Engine and Power Train Products
         Our Engine and Power Train Group set new records with sales of $209.4
million in the first quarter of 1999 for an increase of 28% over the first
quarter of 1998. This increase reflected strong demand across all the Company's
product lines, including lawn and garden applications as well as utility
applications, such as engines for generators. Operating income nearly doubled
from 1998 levels to $26.7 million in the 1999 first quarter. Margins improved
from 8.3% in 1998 to 12.8% in the 1999 first quarter as the result of better
coverage of fixed costs as well as the elimination of start-up losses at the
Company's Douglas, Georgia facility.

Pump Products
         Pump Products sales were down approximately 8% from 1998 levels
reflecting carryover inventories of water gardening products at large retailers.
Margins declined somewhat due to the lower sales volume.

                     PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION -- ITEM 2
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Outlook
         Present business conditions suggest that the fundamentals influencing
the first quarter results likely will continue at least through the second
quarter. We expect strong demand for engine and power train products to continue
to test the extent of our productive capacity during the second quarter. We also
expect second quarter Brazilian export sales to favorably influence compressor
products margins. This should provide the foundation for an excellent 1999.


LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND RISKS

         The Company continued to maintain a strong and liquid financial
position. Working capital of $596.1 million at March 31, 1999 was down slightly
from $605.9 million at the end of 1998, and the ratio of current assets to
current liabilities was 2.8. First quarter capital spending was $15.7 million.
Total capital spending for 1999 should approximate $70 - 80 million of which
approximately half will be spent on capacity expansion primarily in India and
Brazil. Working capital requirements and planned capital, investment and stock
repurchase expenditures for 1999 and early 2000 are expected to be financed
primarily through internally available funds. However, the Company may also
utilize long-term financing arrangements in connection with state investment
incentives and may from time to time utilize short-term borrowings to hedge
currency risk and to finance foreign working capital requirements. The Company
maintains a $100 million revolving credit facility that is available for general
corporate purposes.

         The Company purchased approximately 340,000 shares of Class A common
stock during the first quarter of 1999, as part of the previously announced
share repurchase program. Existing authority covers the purchase of an
additional 660,000 shares through the end of this year.

         The Company has reviewed its manufacturing, financial and
administrative information systems and has determined that it needs to modify or
replace several of its software systems that are not Year 2000 compliant. The
Company has developed a plan for the timely completion of modifications related
to the Year 2000. The Company's objective is to have all its critical systems
Year 2000 compliant and to have developed contingency plans by mid 1999. This
objective allows time for further testing and verification of these systems as
necessary and the conversion of less critical systems. The financial impact of
making the required system changes is not expected to be material to the
Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
However, if modifications of the Company's systems, and those of its customers
and suppliers, are not successfully completed on a timely basis, the Year 2000
issue could have a materially adverse impact on the operations of the Company.
