ITEM 1. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and 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)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 are not
necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2003. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

The accompanying balance sheet, dated September 30, 2003, of The Gorman-Rupp
Company differs from and supersedes the balance sheet furnished with the Form
8-K filed October 17, 2003. The Company's cash and accounts payable have been
adjusted to reflect an additional elimination of an inter-company transaction.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2003
presentation.

NOTE C -- COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

During the three-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, total
comprehensive income was $2,534,000 and $1,488,000, respectively. During the
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, total comprehensive income
was $6,997,000 and $7,329,000, respectively. The reconciling item between net
income and comprehensive income consists of foreign currency translation
adjustments.

NOTE D -- ACQUISITIONS

On February 28, 2002, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding
stock of American Machine & Tool Co., Inc. ("AMT") for a cash purchase price of
approximately $12.6 million net of $3.7 million cash acquired. AMT's "off the
shelf" pumps give the Company the opportunity to market

PART I-- CONTINUED

(UNAUDITED)--CONTINUED
NOTE D -- ACQUISITIONS--CONTINUED

commodity type products. AMT, located in Royersford, Pennsylvania, is a
developer and manufacturer of standard centrifugal pumps for industrial and
commercial fluid-handling applications. The acquisition of AMT offers the
Company the opportunity to increase sales of AMT's products through the
Company's existing outlets to domestic and international markets. AMT's primary
sales channel is comprised of large-scale distributors of industrial supplies
promoted through third-party distributor catalogs. AMT operates as a subsidiary
of the Company.

On March 1, 2002, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock
of Flo-Pak, Inc. ("Flo-Pak") for a purchase price of approximately $6.5 million,
of which $5.6 million was cash and $900,000 was a note payable, a portion of
which was subsequently paid in 2002 and 2003. Flo-Pak, located in Atlanta,
Georgia, is a manufacturer of designed pumping systems for the heating,
ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) market. The acquisition of Flo-Pak
offers the Company a "ready business" opportunity to diversify its product line
and increase market share without the cost or time to perform the necessary
research and development activities to enter the market. Gorman-Rupp has a
distribution network and market strength to offer growth opportunities to
Flo-Pak reducing the need for capital investment to gain market share. The
results of operations of Flo-Pak are part of Patterson Pump Company, a
subsidiary of the Company.

The following unaudited pro forma data summarizes the results of operations for
the nine months ended September 2002 as if the acquisitions had been completed
as of the beginning of the period. The pro forma data shows the effect on actual
operating results prior to the acquisitions. Effects of cost reductions and
operating synergies are not presented. These pro forma amounts are not
indicative of the results that would have actually been achieved if the
acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented or that may
be achieved in the future.

NOTE E--PENSION

During the third quarter 2003, the Company's accumulated lump sum pension
distributions to retirees exceeded an accounting threshold requiring a portion
of previously unrecognized pension losses associated with the distribution be
expensed. The additional pension cost of $1,250,000 was allocated between
manufacturing expense and selling, general and administrative expense.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Certain statements in this section and elsewhere herein contain various
forward-looking statements and include assumptions concerning The Gorman-Rupp
Company's operations, future results and prospects. These forward-looking
statements are based on current expectations and are subject to risk and
uncertainties. In connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, The Gorman-Rupp Company provides the
following cautionary statement identifying important economic, political, and
technological factors, among others, the absence of which could cause the actual
results or events to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by the
forward-looking statements and related assumptions.

Such factors include the following: (1) continuation of the current and
projected future business environment, including interest rates and capital and
consumer spending; (2) competitive factors and competitor responses to
Gorman-Rupp initiatives; (3) successful development and market introductions of
anticipated new products; (4) stability of government laws and regulation,
including taxes; (5) stable governments and business conditions in emerging
economies; (6) successful penetration of emerging economies and (7) continuation
of the favorable environment to make acquisitions, domestic and foreign,
including regulatory requirements and market values of candidates.

THIRD QUARTER 2003 COMPARED TO THIRD QUARTER 2002
Net sales for the third quarter were $53,336,000 in 2003 compared to $49,139,000
in 2002, an increase of $4,197,000 or 8.5 percent. Revenues from pump products
increased approximately 16.7 percent. The increase in net sales was primarily
attributable to timing of customer releases for shipment of product during the
quarter rather than the result of an upturn in business. The Company's backlog ,
currently at $58.5 million, declined $13.6 million or 18.9% from the third
quarter 2002. The lack of any significant improvement in spending in the capital
sector continues to place pressure on the Company selling products into these
markets. The decline in business of fabricated product to the power generation
market of $2.1 million during the current quarter as compared to the third
quarter 2002 continues to impact the Company.

Cost of products sold in the third quarter 2003 was $42,072,000 compared to
$39,219,000 during 2002, an increase of $2,853,000 or 7.3 percent. As a
percentage of sales, cost of products sold was 78.9 percent in 2003 compared to
79.8 percent in 2002. Margins improved mainly because the fixed cost component
of cost of goods sold did not increase proportionately with increased sales
volume. This positive effect of the Company's operating leverage on increased
shipments and the benefit from continuing cost containment programs, was
partially offset by increased pension costs resulting from the recognition of an
allocation of previously unrecognized pension losses associated with lump sum
distributions to retirees, discussed below.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $7,379,000 in 2003 compared
to $7,067,000 in 2002, an increase of $312,000 or 4.4 percent. The current
quarter increase principally resulted from an allocation of increased pension
cost associated with lump sum distributions to retirees, discussed below,
somewhat offset by a reduction in product advertising expense spending.

During the third quarter 2003, the Company's accumulated lump sum pension
distributions to retirees exceeded an accounting threshold requiring a portion
of previously unrecognized pension losses associated with the distribution be
expensed. The additional pension cost of $1,250,000 was allocated between
manufacturing expense and selling, general and administrative expense.

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

Other income was $304,000 in 2003 compared to $406,000 in 2002, a decrease of
$102,000 or 25.1 percent. The change principally resulted from a reduction in
interest income.

Other expense was $75,000 in 2003 compared to $124,000 in 2002, a decrease of
$49,000 or 39.5 percent and resulted principally from the effect of foreign
exchange transactions being more favorable than in the comparable period of
2002.

Income before income taxes was $4,114,000 in 2003 compared to $3,135,000 in
2002, an increase of $979,000 or 31.2 percent. The effective income tax rate was
37.9 percent in 2003 and 39.2 percent in 2002.

Net income was $2,555,000 in 2003 compared to $1,905,000 in 2002, an increase of
$650,000 or 34.1 percent. As a percent of sales, net income was 4.8 percent in
2003 compared to 3.9 percent in 2002. Earnings per share were $0.30 in 2003
compared to $0.23 in 2002, an increase of $0.07 per share.

NINE MONTHS 2003 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS 2002
Net sales for the first nine months 2003 were $146,212,000 compared to
$147,021,000 in 2002, a reduction of $809,000 or less than 1.0 percent. Revenue
from the Company's pump products increased 10.1 percent compared to the nine
months 2002; 7.1 percent after excluding the impact of the acquisitions made
during first quarter 2002. However, the stagnant economic climate for industrial
manufacturers selling into the capital goods sector continues to place pressure
on Company sales.

Cost of products sold for the nine months of 2003 was $115,241,000 comparable to
the nine months of 2002 at $115,307,000. As a percentage of sales, cost of
products sold was 78.8 percent in 2003 compared to 78.4 percent in 2002. As a
percent of net sales, the increase in cost of goods sold in 2003 reflects the
effect of product mix and reduced manufacturing activity on volume related
costs. Increases in pension and postretirement expense along with property and
liability insurance premiums, somewhat offset by cost containment programs,
contributed to the increased percentage.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $21,337,000 in 2003 compared
to $20,515,000 in 2002, an increase of $822,000 or 4.0 percent. The increase
principally resulted from a full period of selling and administrative expenses
related to the acquisitions in March 2002, higher employee pension and
postretirement costs and increases in property and liability insurance premiums.
Increases in selling, general, and administrative expenses were somewhat offset
by reduced spending for product advertising and lower costs from other
management cost containment programs.

Other income of $815,000 in 2003 was consistent with $804,000 in 2002.

Other expense was $248,000 in 2003 compared to $418,000 in 2002, a decrease of
$170,000 or 40.7 percent and resulted principally from the effect of foreign
exchange transactions being more favorable than in the comparable period of
2002.

Income before income taxes was $10,201,000 in 2003 compared to $11,585,000 in
2002, a decrease of $1,384,000 or 11.9 percent. Slight reductions in sales,
increased post retirement costs, the effect of volume related expenses and a
full period of selling and administrative expenses related to the acquisitions
in March 2002, partially offset by cost containment programs resulted in lower
income before income taxes. In addition, the Company's accumulated lump sum
pension distributions to retirees exceeded an accounting threshold, requiring a
portion of previously unrecognized pension losses associated with the
distribution be expensed.

PART I--CONTINUED

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS-- CONTINUED

The effective tax rate was 38.0 percent in 2003 and 36.9 percent in 2002. The
2002 effective rate reflected the benefit of a non-recurring investment tax
credit.

Net income was $6,324,000 in 2003 compared to $7,308,000 in 2002, a decrease of
$984,000 or 13.5 percent. As a percent of sales, net income was 4.3 percent in
2003 compared to 5.0 percent in 2002. Earnings per share were $0.74 in 2003
compared to $0.86 in 2002, a reduction of $0.12 per share.

On February 28, 2002, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding
stock of American Machine & Tool Co., Inc. ("AMT") for a net cash purchase price
of approximately $12.6 million. On March 1, 2002, the Company acquired all of
the issued and outstanding stock of Flo-Pak, Inc. ("Flo-Pak") for a cash
purchase price of approximately $5.6 million. The acquisitions were financed
with cash from the Company's treasury, $900,000 of notes payable and by a draw
of $10.0 million on an unsecured bank credit facility. The Company paid back the
bank borrowings in 2002. AMT, located in Royersford, Pennsylvania, is a
developer and manufacturer of standard centrifugal pumps for industrial and
commercial fluid-handling applications. AMT operates as a subsidiary of the
Company. Flo-Pak, located in Atlanta, Georgia, is a manufacturer of designed
pumping systems for the HVAC market. Flo-Pak's operations have been merged into
Patterson Pump Company, a subsidiary of the Company.

In March 2002, Patterson Pump Company acquired the remaining interest in its
subsidiary Patterson Pump Ireland Limited. Pump assembly at Patterson Pump
Ireland Limited will continue to serve the European market.

LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL
Cash flows from operating activities decreased $5,722,000 from $16,753,000 in
the nine months ended September 30, 2002 to $11,031,000 in the nine months ended
September 30, 2003. The decrease was primarily related to increased receivables
resulting from higher sales in the third quarter compared to 2002.

Investing activities included payments for normal capital additions of
$2,915,000 and $3,612,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively. The Company purchased $1,500,000 in short-term investments during
the nine months ended September 30, 2003. For the nine months ended September
30, 2002, cash used for the business acquisitions was $18,150,000.

Financing activities consisted of payments primarily for dividends which were
$4,356,000 and $4,098,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, $10,000,000 was
borrowed to finance the acquisitions and paid back by internally generated
funds.

The Company continues to finance most of its capital expenditures and working
capital requirements through internally generated funds and bank financing. The
ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 4.0 to 1 at September 30,
2003 and 4.4 to 1 at December 31, 2002.

The Company presently has adequate working capital and borrowing capacity and a
strong liquidity position.

PART 1--CONTINUED
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES OF MARKET RISK

The Company's foreign operations do not involve any material risks due to their
small size, both individually and collectively. The Company is not exposed to
material market risks as a result of its export sales or operations outside of
the United States. Export sales are denominated predominately in U.S. dollars
and made on open account or under letters of credit.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and participation of
the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, which
disclosed no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, the Company's
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end the period
covered by this quarterly report. There were no changes in the Company's
internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent
fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.
