The impact of the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act
of 2003, "the Act," is not reflected in the postretirement benefit costs in
these statements. Authoritative guidance on accounting for the federal subsidy
provided by "the Act" is pending and that guidance, when issued, could require
the Company to change previously reported information.

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.

FIRST QUARTER 2004 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER 2003
Net sales for the first quarter 2004 were $49,431,000 compared to $43,903,000
for the same period 2003, an increase of $5,528,000 or 12.6%. The increase in
net sales was primarily attributable to higher product sales in the industrial
and construction markets. While these markets showed signs of economic recovery,
sluggish spending in the capital goods sector continues to place pressure on the
Company selling products into these markets. Revenues from the Company's pump
products increased 11.2% compared to the three months 2003. The sales of
fabricated products to the power generation market increased $796,000 during the
current quarter as compared to the first quarter 2003. The backlog of orders at
the end of the first quarter was $56.4 million compared to $69.5 million a year
ago, a decline of $13.1 million, or 18.8%. The change in backlog was principally
the result of decline in business of fabricated products which appears to have
leveled off.

Cost of products sold in the first quarter 2004 was $39,301,000 compared to
$35,465,000 during 2003, an increase of $3,836,000 or 10.8%. As a percentage of
sales, cost of products sold was 79.5% in 2004 compared to 80.8% in 2003. The
favorable impact from the rate reduction resulted from the effect of the
Company's operating leverage on increased shipments and the benefit from
continuing cost containment programs.

Selling, general, and administrative ("S,G&A") expenses were $6,859,000 in 2004
compared to $6,763,000 in 2003, an increase of $96,000 or 1.4%. As a percent of
net sales, S,G&A expenses were 13.9% in 2004 compared to 15.4% in 2003. The
improvement in rate was principally the effect of relatively stable expenses on
increased sales.

Other income was $290,000 in 2004 compared to $362,000 in 2003, a decrease of
$72,000 or 19.9%. The change principally resulted from foreign exchange
valuation on inter-company transactions being less favorable than in the
comparable period of 2003.

Income before income taxes was $3,503,000 in 2004 compared to $1,936,000 in
2003, an increase of $1,567,000 or 80.9%. The effective income tax rate was
37.0% in 2004 and 37.9% in 2003.

Net income was $2,207,000 in 2004 compared to $1,202,000 in 2003, an increase of
$1,005,000 or 83.6%. As a percent of net sales, net income was 4.5% in 2004
compared to 2.7% in 2003. Earnings per share were $0.26 in 2004 compared to
$0.14 in 2003, an increase of $0.12 per share.

LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL
Cash flows from operating activities increased $899,000 to $4,551,000 in the
three months ended March 31, 2004 from $3,652,000 in the three months ended
March 31, 2003. The increase was primarily related to increased receivables
resulting from higher sales in the first quarter of 2004 compared to first
quarter of 2003.

PART I--CONTINUED

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

Investing activities included payments for normal capital additions of $970,000
and $1,089,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
The Company purchased $368,000 in short-term investments during the three months
ended March 31, 2004.

Financing activities consisted of payments primarily for dividends, which were
$1,452,000, and $1,452,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003,
respectively.

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 4.2 to 1 at March 31, 2004
and 4.3 to 1 at March 31, 2003.

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

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.
