NOTE TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1996, and the statements
of consolidated earnings and cash flows for the three and nine month
periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, have been prepared by the Company
without audit. The September 30, 1995 consolidated balance sheet was
derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.
Information furnished in this 10-Q report is based in part on
approximations and is subject to year-end adjustment and audit. The
figures do reflect all adjustments necessary, in the opinion of
management, to present fairly the Company's financial position as of
June 30, 1996, and the results of its operations for the three and nine
month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, and cash flows for the nine
months then ended. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring
nature. The statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
policies set forth in the Company's 1995 annual report on Form 10-K and
should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements therein. The statements of consolidated earnings for the
three and nine month periods ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or
for the full year.
PART I - ITEM 2

WOODWARD GOVERNOR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results for the third quarter of fiscal year 1996 were good, and
continued the improvement trend we have seen throughout this year. Net
billings for products and services delivered to customers in the third
quarter ending June 30, 1996, increased almost 17% from the prior year
and totaled $106,034,000, compared to $90,808,000 last year. During that
same period, costs and expenses increased 11% from $88,083,000 last year
to $97,758,000 this year. Earnings before income taxes increased
substantially from $2,725,000 to $8,276,000. Net earnings were
$4,965,000 or $1.72 per share for the quarter, compared to $1,608,000 or
$.55 per share last year.

Year-to-date results are also encouraging. Net billings through the
third quarter were $300,961,000 or 11% ahead of last year's
$271,036,000. During the same time period, expenses were up less than 8%
from $258,739,000 last year to $278,143,000 this year. As a result,
earnings before income taxes were up over 85% and totaled $22,818,000
this year. Net earnings were $13,690,000 or $4.73 per share, compared to
$7,256,000 or $2.49 per share last year.

ONGOING OPERATIONS
Shipments from ongoing operations (excluding Bauer Aerospace) for the
nine month period ending June 30, increased 11% to $297,253,000 from
$267,770,000. As noted in prior reports to shareholders, last year
included over $7,000,000 in nonrecurring engineering charges incurred in
previous years. Taking this into account, shipments are up 14% from last
year.

In looking at the change in costs and expenses, it is also important to
remember that last year included over $11,600,000 for an early
retirement program at domestic plants, costs related to the move of the
Hydraulic Turbine Controls business unit, a large provision for an
accounts receivable write-off, and the ongoing restructuring and
consolidation of the Aircraft Controls group. Without these items, costs
and expenses have increased almost 13% from approximately $243,400,000
last year to $274,000,000 this year. The increase was due principally to
the additional shipment volume.

Shipments from on-going operations of the Aircraft Controls group have
increased 21% to $129,488,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 1996,
compared to $106,987,000 last year, excluding the nonrecurring
engineering charges. The increase reflects improved demand for our
products in the commercial aircraft markets, particularly in aftermarket
spares and overhauls.

Industrial Controls shipments were up over 9% from last year and totaled
$167,765,000, compared to $153,782,000. The trend of domestic shipments
being up slightly and overseas up substantially continued during the
third quarter.

ACQUISITION AND DIVESTITURE
In late June we completed the acquisition of Deltec Fuel Systems Holding
B.V., located in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Deltec supplies fuel
systems and fuel system components for heavy-duty gas engines and has
acquired considerable know-how in gas flow and combustion,
microelectronics, software, and precision mechanical technology. Deltec
will add 30 people and fits well into the Engine Controls organization.

Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, negotiations were completed
to sell Bauer Aerospace. Efforts to sell Bauer have been ongoing since
the intent to divest was announced in September 1994. The sale will not
have a significant effect on year end results and will allow us to focus
our resources on our core businesses.

BALANCE SHEET
Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $5,955,000 at June 30, 1996 from
$12,451,000 at September 30, 1995. Accounts receivable decreased from
$81,880,000 at September 30, 1995 to $76,779,000 at June 30, 1996.
Inventories increased from $92,831,000 at September 30, 1995 to
$96,169,000 at June 30, 1996 due to the increased sales volume and a
higher level of past due shipments. Property, plant and equipment - net
decreased to $113,683,000 at June 30, 1996 from $118,066,000 at
September 30, 1995, due to capital expenditures being less than
depreciation. Intangibles and other assets increased from $4,741,000 at
September 30, 1995 to $8,678,000 at June 30, 1996 due to the impact of
the Deltec acquisition. During this same period, short-term borrowings
were reduced from $30,297,000 at September 30, 1995 to $16,580,000 at
June 30, 1996, Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased to
$57,586,000 at June 30, 1996 from $50,765,000 at September 30, 1995 due
in part to accounts payable and accruals for early retirement programs
and member benefits.

The company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 1996
and 1995 was 40.0% and 41.0%, respectively. The effective tax rate for
the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995 was 40.9%.
