NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS                    5.
June 30, 1994

NOTE 1 -- Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have 
been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not 
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted 
accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of 
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) and 
disclosures considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. 
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and 
footnotes included in the company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year 
ended December 31, 1993.


NOTE 2 -- Accounting Changes

Effective January 1, 1993, the company and its subsidiaries adopted 
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 106, "Employers' 
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," No. 109, 
"Accounting for Income Taxes," and No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for 
Postemployment Benefits."

The adoption of the above referenced accounting standards resulted in a 
one-time, non-cash charge to operations of $254,263,000 ($8.31 per share) for
the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principles for periods 
prior to 1993.  The charge relates primarily to the adoption of FAS No. 106.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 
Operations

Results of Operations

Strong market positions, strengthening economic conditions, and continuous 
improvement in all operations resulted in sizable year-to-year sales and 
earnings gains for both the quarter and half ended June 30, 1994.  The 
company achieved volume gains in all of its markets and modest price 
increases in most.  Economic recovery in Europe has been slower than 
expected--marked by downward pressure on prices--but now is beginning to gain 
positive momentum.  Continuous improvement by our associates in operations 
around the world has contributed positively toward the second quarter's 
improved earnings.

Net sales for the second quarter were $494 million, up 12% from $441.2 
million a year earlier.  Gross profit for the quarter was $112.9 million 
(22.8% of net sales) compared to $99.4 million (22.5% of net sales) a year 
earlier.  Although gross profit increased in the second quarter of 1994, 
gross profit as a percent of net sales remained basically unchanged from the 
year-earlier period.  The gains resulting from greater sales volume and 
improved productivity were offset by higher costs for steel scrap and 
increased employment costs. 

Selling, administrative, and general expenses were $70.8 million (14.3 
percent of net sales) in the second quarter of 1994 compared to $70.7 million
(16 percent of net sales) in 1993.  With higher activity levels in the second
quarter and first six months of 1994, selling, administrative, and general 
expenses were held to levels comparable to 1993's first half, reflecting 
successful efforts by the company's associates to contain costs.  The company
expects to meet its goal of a reduced administrative cost structure by 
mid-1995.  

The company is encouraged by the initial results of the program launched with
manufacturing associates in December 1993 with the goal of reducing operating
costs significantly, improving productivity, and strengthening already high 
levels of product quality and customer service.  Progress is continuing in 
these cost reduction efforts at the company's manufacturing operations 
throughout the world and the company expects to realize benefits from the 
program in 1995 with over half of the savings in place by the end of 1996.

Bearing Business net sales increased by 11.7% to $337.1 million in the second 
quarter of 1994 compared to $301.9 million in the year-earlier period.  
Strong demand in the United States, particularly in the automotive and 
railroad markets, led to increased volume.  The business also experienced 
modest price gains.  Bearing Business gross profit as a percent of net sales 
declined in the second quarter of 1994 versus the same quarter in 1993.  The 
increase in sales which had a positive impact on the second quarter 1994 
gross profit was largely offset by higher employment costs and expenses 
associated with the business' 21st century bearing project.

In the Steel Business, net sales in the second quarter increased 12.7% to 
$337.1 million compared to $301.9 million in the year-earlier period.  The 
Steel Business experienced strong demand for its products during the second 
quarter and continues to set production records.  Steel Business gross profit 

                                                                        9.

increased in the second quarter as the effects of the higher volume, 
productivity gains, and a favorable sales mix more than offset higher 
employment costs and higher raw material costs related to the purchase of 
steel scrap.  Purchased scrap prices, which earlier in the year had risen to 
record levels, moderated but remained higher than year-ago levels.  As a 
result of recent activity in the scrap market, the company believes that 
scrap prices will escalate through year-end.  The Steel Business has been 
able to recoup a portion of this increased cost through scrap surcharges and 
modest price gains.
                                               
Interest expense was lower in the second quarter of 1994 compared to the 
similar period in 1993 due primarily to lower debt levels.  Other income and 
expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 1994, reflected less 
expense than 1993 due primarily to a more favorable currency translation 
adjustment related to the company's subsidiary in Brazil.  

During the second quarter of 1994, the company achieved a new high in 
quarterly sales as well as solid earnings improvement. The company believes 
that the progress made in this most recent quarter is encouraging and 
provides additional evidence that the company is moving toward necessary 
financial performance levels.  Furthermore, the company is encouraged by its 
strong order picture and good capacity utilization.

Financial Condition

Total assets increased by $58.2 million from December 31, 1993, primarily as 
a result of increased accounts receivable related directly to the increase in 
sales.  The number of days sales in receivables at the end of the second 
quarter 1994 was basically unchanged compared to year-end 1993.  The $12.2 
million increase in inventories related to the higher level of production 
activity in the second quarter or 1994.  The number of days supply in 
inventory at June 30, 1994, decreased slightly compared to year-end 1993.  
The increase in accrued expenses during the first six months of 1994 resulted 
primarily from an increase in income taxes payable due to the higher income 
levels.

Debt to total capital of 28.4% at June 30, 1994, remained basically unchanged 
from 28.7% at year-end 1993.

The company spent $27.1 million on purchases of property, plant, and 
equipment in the second quarter of 1994 compared to $24.7 million during the 
same period in 1993.  Spending for the first six months of 1994 was $54.3 
million or approximately 32% higher than the $41.2 million spent during the 
same time period a year earlier.  The higher level of spending in the first 
six months of 1994 relates primarily to the company's 21st century bearing 
project in Asheboro, North Carolina on which work was resumed during the 
second quarter of 1993.

The $41 million provision for restructuring that was recorded in the fourth 
quarter of 1991 has essentially been consumed.  Additional expenditures were 

                                                                        10.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

Financial Condition (Cont.)

charged against the reserve in the second quarter of 1994; however, a nominal 
dollar amount still remains.  It is expected that the remaining reserve 
balance will be consumed by year-end 1994. 

The program that the company initiated in December 1993, to accelerate 
significantly continuous improvement in its manufacturing plants worldwide, 
is progressing according to plan.  Approximately $28 million of the $48 
million impairment and restructuring charge recorded in 1993 was related to 
this program and will require future cash expenditures.  To-date, the company 
spent approximately $6.1 million or 22% of the $28 million.  The company 
believes that the reserves established for impairment and restructuring 
activities are adequate to cover anticipated expenditures.  In addition, the 
company is incurring on-going costs relating to the implementation of this 
program including training, systems development, and capital expenditures.

During the second quarter, the company finalized the revisions to its 
unsecured, $300 million revolving credit agreement.  The modifications 
included an extension of the agreement term from August 1996 to August 1997 
and a modification to the net worth covenant.  The credit amount, borrowing 
rates, and fees contained in the current agreement remained the same.  

Other Information 

Consistent with past practice, the carrying value of costs in excess of net 
assets of acquired business ("goodwill") is reviewed if the facts and 
circumstances suggest that it may be impaired.  If this review indicates that 
goodwill may not be recoverable, as determined based on the undiscounted cash 
flows of the business acquired over the remaining amortization period, the 
company's carrying value of the goodwill will be reduced by the estimated 
shortfall of the cash flows.  No reduction of goodwill for impairment has 
been necessary in 1994 or in previous years. 

In June 1994, the company's Steel Business announced a new steel product line 
called Dynametal Performance Steels.  The company's metallurgical researchers 
developed this new family of performance steels to help automotive and 
component manufacturers balance machinability and productivity in their 
manufacturing operations with component performance.  These new steels 
provide excellent machining characteristics and were designed as a suitable, 
environmentally friendly replacement for medium carbon leaded steels and cast 
iron components.  No capital investment will be required.  The company 
believes that the Steel Business' aggressive move into this market represents 
part of the company's continuing strategy to improve the company's financial 
performance by focusing its energies and production on higher-value 
engineered steel bars and tubes.

On August 5, 1994, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend 
of $.25 per share, which is payable September 9, 1994, to shareholders of 
record at the close of business on August 19, 1994.                                    

                                                                        11.
