            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                     (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)



NOTE 1.  CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Reunion
Industries, Inc. ("RII") (the successor by merger effective April 19, 1996 to
Reunion Resources Company, see Note 6) and its majority owned subsidiaries. As
used herein, the term "Company" refers to RII, its predecessors and its
subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise. All intercompany
transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated
financial statements for June 30, 1996 include the financial statements of
Rostone Corporation which was acquired by the Company on February 2, 1996 (See
Note 2 - Business Acquisitions).

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT JUNE  30, 1996

     The Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 1996, and the Consolidated
Statements of Operations and Cash Flows for the three and six months ended June
30, 1996 and 1995 included herein are unaudited; however, in the opinion of
management of the Company, they reflect all adjustments necessary to present
fairly the results for the interim periods. Such results are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for the year. The Consolidated Balance
Sheet at December 31, 1995 has been derived from the audited financial
statements at that date. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.


EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Earnings per Common Share and Common Share Equivalent are computed based on
the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding
during each period. Common equivalent shares include shares issuable upon
exercise of the Company's stock options and warrants. For the three and six
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, common equivalent shares relating to
options and warrants to purchase common stock were not included in the weighted
average number of shares because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 2.  BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

ROSTONE

     On February 2, 1996, the Company acquired Rostone Corporation ("Rostone")
which was merged with and into the Company's subsidiary, Oneida Molded Plastics
Corp. ("Oneida"). The surviving corporation changed its name to Oneida Rostone
Corp. ("ORC"). The purchase price payable to the stockholders of Rostone is an
amount up to $4,001 as follows: (i) $1 in 1996, (ii) up to $2,000 in 1997 if
Rostone achieves specified levels of earnings before interest and taxes (as
provided in the merger agreement ) for 1996 and (iii) up to $2,000 in 1998 if
Rostone achieves specified levels of earnings before interest and taxes for
1997. In addition, the Company incurred approximately $435 in acquisition
related costs.

     The Rostone acquisition is being accounted for using the purchase method,
with the purchase price of $436, including acquisition costs, allocated to the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective estimated
fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of purchase price over the
net assets acquired ("Goodwill" approximately $4,535) is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over 15 years. Any additional consideration paid in future
years will increase Goodwill and will be amortized on the same basis. The
estimated fair values of assets and liabilities acquired in the Rostone
acquisition are summarized as follows:

     The Company is in the process of obtaining certain evaluations, estimates,
appraisals and actuarial and other studies for the purposes of determining
certain values, and may revise certain of the estimated values set forth above.
The results of Rostone's operations are included in the consolidated financial
statements from the date of acquisition, February 2, 1996.

ONEIDA

     On September 14, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
preferred and common stock of Oneida from a subsidiary of Chatwins Group, Inc.
("Chatwins"), a related party. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase
and the results of Oneida's operations are included in the Company's
consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition, September
14, 1995.
 
PRO FORMA RESULTS

     The following pro forma results of operations for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 have been prepared assuming the acquisitions of
Rostone and of Oneida had occurred as of January 1, 1995. These pro forma
results are not necessarily indicative of the results of future operations or of
results that would have occurred had the acquisitions been consummated as of
January 1, 1995.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 3.  SALE OF REUNION ENERGY COMPANY

     On April 2, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its
subsidiary Reunion Energy Company ("REC"), including substantially all of its
oil and gas assets, to Tri-Union Development Corp ("Tri-Union") a subsidiary of
Tribo Petroleum Corporation for a total price of approximately $11,375. On May
24, 1996 the Company completed the sale of REC for proceeds of $8,000 cash and a
$2.200 six month note bearing interest at 12%. The purchase price paid for REC's
stock reflected adjustments for intercompany cash transfers by REC to Reunion
and certain expenditures by REC between January 1 and the May 24, 1996 closing
date.

     The Company used $5,000 of the aggregate $8,000 cash paid by Tri-Union to
pay related party indebtedness. This included $3,600 owed by ORC to Chatwins
Group, Inc., ("CGI") a 38% shareholder of Reunion, and approximately $1,300 owed
by Reunion to Charles E. Bradley, Sr., Reunion's President and Chief Executive
Officer. Mr. Bradley is the Chairman of the Board and the majority shareholder
of CGI.


NOTE 4.  INVENTORIES

  Inventories, principally for ORC's plastic products business, consisted of the
following:

NOTE  5.  SEVERANCE AND EXIT COSTS

     During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company recorded a provision
for severance and related benefit costs of $1,115 relating to 26 employees to be
terminated and a provision for exit costs of $175 relating to the remaining term
of its Houston office lease. These costs were recorded in connection with the
Company's closing of its Houston administrative office and relocating its
corporate headquarters to Connecticut. During the three months ended March 31,
1996, the Company paid $384 in severance and related benefits costs in
connection with employees terminated in January 1996. The office closure was
completed during the second quarter of 1996 and the Company wrote off
approximately $86 of surplus furniture and fixtures. During the three months
ended June 30, 1996, the Company paid $197 in severance and related benefit
costs in connection with employees terminated in May, 1996. As a result of the
final terms agreed upon with the purchaser of REC, certain provisions recorded
in 1995 were reversed during 1996 resulting in an offset to SG&A expense of
$276. The Company expects to pay the remaining balance of the severance and exit
cost accruals as follows: approximately $88 during the remainder of 1996 and

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


NOTE  6.  MERGER

     On April 19, 1996, Reunion Resources Company was merged with and into RII
upon approval by shareholders of a merger agreement dated November 14, 1995.
RII's certificate of incorporation, which survives the merger, authorizes the
issuance of 20,000 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, and 10,000
shares of "blank check" preferred stock, par value $.01 per share, and includes
certain capital stock transfer restrictions which are intended to help assure
that the Company's substantial net operating loss carryforwards will continue to
be available to offset future taxable income by decreasing the likelihood of an
"ownership change" for federal income tax purposes.


NOTE 7.  CONTINGENCIES

     In early 1996, the State of California Franchise Tax Board initiated an 
audit of the Company's franchise tax returns for the years 1991, 1992 and 1993. 
In May 1996, the auditor informed the Company that adjustments totaling $716 
would be proposed. The Company has not received a formal notice of assessment 
from the taxing authority, but has been advised that one will be sent during the
third quarter of 1996 and expects that the assessment will be made for 
approximately the amounts proposed. Of this amount $645 results from the 
auditor's conclusion that income from gain on sales of certain Canadian assets 
in 1991 should be reclassified from nonbusiness to business income. The Company 
believes its classification of such income was correct, and intends to appeal 
any assessment of tax. If the Company's positions prevail on this issue, 
management believes that the amounts due would not exceed amounts previously 
paid or provided. No additional accruals have been made for any amounts that may
be due if the Company does not prevail because the outcome cannot be determined.
The Company has recorded a provision for $85 in the three and six months ended 
June 30, 1996 for certain other adjustments proposed.

     In connection with the sale of REC the company retained certain properties 
in Louisiana because of litigation concerning environmental matters. The Company
has recorded an accrual for $307 concerning the estimated costs to remediate the
site based on plans and estimates developed by the environmental consultants 
hired by the Company. Owners of a portion of the property have objected to the 
Company's proposed cleanup methodology and have filed suit to require additional
procedures. The Company is contesting the litigation, and believes the proposed 
clean up methodology is well within accepted industry practice for remediation 
efforts of a similar nature. No accrual has been made for any additional costs 
of possible alternative clean up methods because the nature and dollar amount of
such alternative cannot presently be determined.

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

     On September 14, 1995, the Company acquired Oneida, which manufactures
precision plastic products and provides engineered plastics services. As a
result of the Oneida acquisition, the Company's principal operations are in the
plastic products industry. On February 2, 1996, the Company completed the
Rostone acquisition which added new customers and products to the plastic
products segment. The Company is considering additional acquisitions to increase
its customer base and expand its product offerings and service capabilities in
the plastics industry. In addition, the Company may consider acquisitions in
other industries. The Company is also engaged in real estate development and
wine grape agricultural operations in Napa County, California.

     In November 1995, the Company's Board of Directors resolved to pursue the
sale of the Company's oil and gas assets and to discontinue the Company's oil
and gas operations. The Company engaged an investment bank specializing in oil
and gas transactions to assist in the sale of the oil and gas operations. On May
24, 1996, the Company sold REC , its wholly owned subsidiary, including
substantially all of REC's oil and gas assets, to Tri-Union for a total price of
approximately $11.4 million. The purchase price was paid by $8.0 million in cash
at the closing , as adjusted for cash advances from REC prior to the closing,
and a $2.2 million 6-month note with interest at 12%. Upon completion of this
transaction, the Company has substantially discontinued oil and gas operations.

     The Company recognized net income of $1.3 million and $0.7 million.
respectively, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1996 compared
to a net loss of $2.9 million and $7.1 million for the three months and six
months ended June 30, 1995. The following discussion of Results of Continuing
Operations describes the Company's continuing operations in plastic products and
agriculture separately from discontinued operations.


RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

     The Company recognized break-even results from continuing operations for
the three months ended June 30, 1996 compared to a loss of $1.1 million in 1995.
The 1996 results include the plastic products segment, which the Company entered
in September 1995.

     PLASTIC PRODUCTS SEGMENT:  The Oneida acquisition on September 14, 1995
represented the Company's entry into a new  operating segment,  plastic
products.  The Rostone acquisition in February 1996 increased operations in this
segment. Revenues and operating profit of the plastic products segment were
$14.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively,  for the three months ended June
30, 1996.

     On a pro forma basis, as if the Oneida and Rostone acquisitions had
occurred as of January 1, 1995, revenues decreased $ 2.4 million to $14.3
million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $16.7 million in the three
months ended June 30, 1995. This 14% decrease in revenues is attributable
primarily to decreased sales of thermoplastic products due to departures of
select parts programs and customer delays in bringing scheduled new parts
programs into production. Tooling sales decreased $0.3 million to $1.7 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1996. Plastic products segment backlog
totaled $ 16.8 million at June 30, 1996. This compares to backlog, on a pro
forma basis, of $18.0 million at December 31, 1995 and $17.5 million at June 30,
1995.

     On a pro forma basis, cost of sales totaled $11.8 million, or 82.5% of net
sales, for the three months ended June 30, 1996 compared to, On a pro forma
basis, $13.8 million, or 82.6% of net sales for the three months ended June 30,
1995. The segment continued to benefit from participation in reduced rate
electricity programs and from reductions in direct labor resulting from improved
efficiency. These factors were offset by higher material content as a percentage
of sales due to the change in sales mix. As a result of the decrease in sales,
gross margins on a pro forma basis, declined to $2.5 million, or 17.5% of net
sales, from $2.9 million, or 17.3% of net sales, in 1995.

                                       10

                   REUNION INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
     Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.6 million on a pro
forma basis for the three months ended June 30, 1996, equal to expenses for the
three months ended June 30, 1995. Operating income on a pro forma basis, was
$0.9 million, or 6.3% of net sales, for the three months ended June 30, 1996
compared to $1.3 million, or 7.8% of net sales, for the comparable prior year
period.

     CORPORATE GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE: Corporate general and
administrative expenses, consisting primarily of executive and administrative
salaries and benefits, professional fees and other public company costs, totaled
$ 0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 compared to $ 1.0 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1995. The expenses for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 included occupancy and office costs for both the Company's
previous headquarters in Houston, Texas, closed in the May 1996, and its new
headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut, and are net of $0.3 million in reversals
of certain charges for office closing and severance accrued in 1995. The
expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1995 include a $0.5 million charge
related to the extension of the exercise period for certain warrants.

     OTHER INCOME AND (EXPENSE): Interest expense was $0.6 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1996 compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1995 as a result of interest on Oneida debt subsequent to the Oneida
acquisition in September 1995. On a pro forma basis, as if the Oneida and
Rostone acquisitions had occurred as of January 1, 1995, interest expense
was $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

     The Company recognized a loss from continuing operations of $0.5 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to a loss of $1.5 million in the
first sixth months of 1995. The 1996 results include the plastic products
segment, which the Company entered in September 1995.

     PLASTIC PRODUCTS SEGMENT: The Oneida acquisition on September 14, 1995
represented the Company's entry into a new operating segment, plastic products.
The Rostone acquisition in February 1996 increased operations in this segment.
Revenues and operating profit of the plastic products segment were $28.2 million
and $1.7 million, respectively for first six months ended June 30, 1996.

     On a pro forma basis, as if the Oneida and Rostone acquisitions had
occurred as of January 1, 1995, revenues decreased $ 1.6 million to $30.6
million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from $32.2 million in the six
months ended June 30, 1995. This 5% decrease in revenues is attributable
primarily to decreased sales of plastic products due to departures of select
parts programs and customer delays in bringing scheduled new parts programs into
production. Tooling sales increased $0.2 million to $3.5 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 compared to $3.3 million in the prior year period due
to increased demand throughout the segment. Plastic products segment backlog
totaled $16.8 million at June 30, 1996. This compares to backlog, on a pro forma
basis, of $18.0 million at December 31, 1995 and $ 17.5 million at June 30,
1995.

     Cost of sales totaled $25.5 million, or 83.3% of net sales, for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 compared to, on a pro forma basis $28.8 million, or
83.2% of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1995. The segment continued
to benefit from participation in reduced rate electricity programs and from
reductions in direct labor resulting from improved efficiency. These factors
were offset by higher material content as a percentage of sales due to the
change in sales mix. As a result of the decrease in sales, gross margins
declined to $5.1 million, or 16.7% of net sales, from on a pro forma basis $5.4
million, or 16.8% of net sales, in 1995.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3.3 million, on a pro
forma basis, for the six months ended June 30, 1996, $0.2 million greater than
in the six months ended June 30, 1995. This increase results primarily from
increased payroll and benefit related costs. Operating income was $1.8 million,
or 5.9% of net sales, for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to on a
pro forma basis $2.2 million, or 6.8% of net sales, for the comparable prior
year period. 

     CORPORATE GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE:  Corporate general and
administrative expenses, consisting primarily of executive and administrative
salaries and benefits, professional fees and other public company costs, totaled
$0.9 million for the  six  months ended June  30, 1996 compared to $ 1.4 million
for the six  months ended June  30, 1995.  The expenses for the six months ended
June  30, 1996 included occupancy and office costs for both the Company's
previous headquarters in Houston, Texas, closed in May 1996, and its new
headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut  and are net of  $0.3 million in reversals
of certain charges for office closing and severance accrued in 1995.  The
expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1995 include a $0.5 million charge
related to the extension of the exercise period for certain warrants.

     OTHER INCOME AND (EXPENSE): Interest expense was $1.2 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 compared to $0.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1995 as a result of interest on Oneida debt subsequent to the Oneida
acquisition in September 1995. On a pro forma basis, as if the Oneida and
Rostone acquisitions had occurred as of January 1, 1995, interest expense was
$1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995.


DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

     The Company discontinued its U. S. oil and gas operations during the year
ended December 31, 1995. A provision was recorded during the year ended December
31, 1995 to record estimated results of operations through date of disposition
and the estimated loss on disposal. On May 24, 1996, the Company completed the
transactions contemplated by the April 2nd, 1996 agreement for proceeds of $8.0
million cash and a $2.2 million note due November 25, 1996. The Company retained
certain Louisiana oil and gas properties because of litigation concerning
environmental contamination.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

An additional loss from discontinued operations of $0.4 million was recorded in
the three months ended June 30, 1996 reflecting the purchase price adjustment
resulting from the retention of the Louisiana properties and a $0.1 million
provision for taxes resulting from the California tax audit discussed below.
This loss was offset by a $1.6 million gain from an insurance reimbursement,
resulting in net income from discontinued operations of $1.2 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1996.  The Company recognized a loss from
discontinued operations of $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30,
1995. The Company followed the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas
properties and, as a result of substantial decreases in prices received for
natural gas, recognized impairment losses of $1.7 million during the three
months ended June 30, 1995 to reduce the carrying value of the investment in oil
and gas properties to the "full cost ceiling." Before these valuation charges,
the Company realized  a loss  from the discontinued oil and gas operations of
$0.1 million on revenues of $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30,
1995.

                   REUNION INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

SIX  MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

Results of discontinued operations  for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were
approximately break even on revenues of $2.1 million. An additional loss from
discontinued operations of $0.4 million was recorded in the three months ended
June 30, 1996 reflecting the purchase price adjustment resulting from the
retention of the  Louisiana properties and an $0.1 million provision for taxes
resulting from the California tax audit discussed below.  This loss was offset
by a $1.6 million gain from an insurance reimbursement, resulting in net income
from discontinued operations of $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30,
1996.   The Company recognized a loss from discontinued operations of $5.6
million for the six months ended June 30, 1995. The Company followed the full
cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties and, as a result of
substantial decreases in prices received for natural gas, recognized impairment
losses of $5.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 1995 to reduce the
carrying value of the investment in oil and gas properties to the "full cost
ceiling." Before these valuation charges, the Company realized  a loss  from the
discontinued oil and gas operations of $ 0.1 million on revenues of $2.8
million for the six months ended June 30, 1995


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

SUMMARY OF 1996 ACTIVITIES

     Cash and cash equivalents totaled $2.2 million at June 30, 1996. During the
six months ended June 30, 1996, cash increased $1.6 million, with $1.3 million
provided by operations, $8.3 million provided by investing activities, and $ 7.9
million used in financing activities.

     INVESTING ACTIVITIES: As described above, the Company completed the Rostone
acquisition in February, 1996. The purchase price for the acquisition, including
acquisition costs, totaled $0.4 million which was funded from the Company's cash
balances. Capital expenditures were $ 0.6 million. Discontinued operations,
including the sale of REC as discussed below generated cash of approximately
$9.0 million. This included $8.0 million cash at closing in addition an
additional $1.0 million, net of transaction costs, transferred to the Company
during the year.

     FINANCING ACTIVITIES: Principal payments reduced long-term obligations by $
6.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 1996. In addition the Company used
proceeds from the sale of REC as discussed below to pay $4.8 million in related
party indebtedness. Proceeds from new borrowings totaled $ 3.7 million.

     OPERATING ACTIVITIES: Net cash provided by operating activities was $ 1.3
million in the six months ended June 30, 1996.

FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE LIQUIDITY

     Because of various restrictions included in the Company's loan
arrangements, management must separately consider liquidity and financing for
corporate requirements, for ORC and for the Juliana Preserve.

     CORPORATE:  Management estimates that corporate expenses, including
salaries and benefits, professional fees and other public company costs, will
approximate $ 1.0 million for the remainder of 1996. Approximately $0.1 million
of severance and exit costs related to the closure of the Company's Houston
administrative office, accrued in 1995, are expected to be paid during the
remainder of 1996. The Company's source of funds for these requirements and for
future acquisitions, other than from additional borrowings, are from payments by
ORC permitted under a secured credit facility as described below and from cash
generated by operations or proceeds from the sale of discontinued oil and gas
operations and other assets held for sale.

     ORC's credit facility with Congress Financial Corporation ("Congress")
limits payments to Reunion by ORC.

                                       13
<PAGE>
                   REUNION INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
If certain levels of availability (as defined in the loan agreements) are
maintained, ORC is permitted to pay Reunion management fees of up to $0.3
million per year and tax sharing payments of up to 50% of the tax savings
realized by ORC because of Reunion's net operating loss carryovers. There can be
no assurances that ORC will be able to maintain the required levels of
availability and be permitted to make the management fee and tax sharing fee
payments to Reunion. In any event, the maximum amount of such payments is not
expected to be sufficient for Reunion's corporate operating and debt service
requirements.

     On May 24, 1996 the Company completed the sale of REC for proceeds of $8.0
million in cash as adjusted for certain cash transfers from REC from January 1,
1996 through the May 24 closing, and a $2.2 million six month note bearing
interest at 12%. Pursuant to the agreement Tri-Union acquired all of the issued
and outstanding capital stock of REC. In addition, the Company has a contract
for the sale of certain real estate in Texas for $2.0 million, which is expected
to close during the third quarter of 1996, and is pursuing the sale or farmout
of its mineral interests in Utah. Pursuant to existing agreements, the Company
used $5.0 million of the aggregate $8.0 million cash paid by Tri-Union to pay
related party indebtedness. This included $3.6 million owed by CGI a 38%
shareholder of Reunion, and approximately $1.3 million owed by Reunion to
Charles E. Bradley, Sr., Reunion's President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr.
Bradley is the Chairman of the Board and the majority shareholder of CGI.

     As a result of the above transactions, management believes that the
Company will have sufficient resources to meet its corporate obligations as they
become due over the next twelve months.

     ORC: On February 2, 1996, in connection with the Rostone acquisition, ORC
entered into a new credit facility with Congress. The new credit facility
provides for maximum borrowings of $16.0 million under a term loan in the
original amount of $6.6 million and revolving loans based on the eligible
balances of accounts receivable and inventory. Management believes that ORC'S
cash flow from operations, together with this credit facility and permitted
levels of capital and operating leases, will be sufficient for ORC'S operating
requirements, including capital expenditures and debt service, during the next
twelve months.

     THE JULIANA PRESERVE: In January 1995, the Juliana Preserve entered into
the Development and Marketing Agreement with Juliana Pacific, Inc. to develop
the Juliana Preserve into a master-planned estate-oriented residential community
encompassing the entire vineyard. The joint venture agreement contemplates that
development costs associated with the project will be financed solely from the
assets of the joint venture, including the sale of such assets, or by
development financing. In October 1995, the joint venture entered into a loan
agreement with Washington Federal Savings, the parent of Freedom Vineyards, to
provide $3.0 million of development financing for this project. Based on plans
and projections prepared by Juliana Pacific and approved by the joint venture
partners, and on projections of farming costs and capital requirements for the
1996 crop year, the Company believes that it will not be required to commit any
additional resources to the Juliana Preserve for either development or farming
activities during the next twelve months. 

CONTINGENCIES AND UNCERTAINTIES

     In early 1996, the State of California Franchise Tax Board initiated an 
audit of the Company's franchise tax returns for the years 1991, 1992 and 1993.
In May 1996, the auditor informed the Company that adjustments totaling $0.7
million would be proposed. The Company has not received a formal notice of
assessment from the taxing authority, but has been advised that one will be sent
during the third quarter of 1996 and expects that the assessment will be made
for approximately the amounts proposed. Of this amount $0.6 million results from
the auditor's conclusion that income from gain on sales of certain Canadian
assets in 1991 should be reclassified from nonbusiness to business income. The
Company believes its classification of such income was correct, and intends to
appeal any assessment of tax. If the Company's positions prevail on this issue,
management believes that the amounts due would not exceed amounts previously
paid or provided. No additional accruals have been made for any amounts that may
be due if the Company does not prevail because the outcome cannot be determined.
The Company has recorded a provision for $0.1 million in the three and six
months ended June 30, 1996 for certain other adjustments proposed.

     In connection with the sale of REC the company retained certain properties 
in Louisiana because of litigation concerning environmental matters. The Company
has recorded an accrual for $0.3 million concerning the estimated costs to 
remediate the site based on plans and estimates developed by the environmental 
consultants hired by the Company. Owners of a portion of the property have 
objected to the Company's proposed cleanup methodology and have filed suit to 
require additional procedures. The Company is contesting this litigation, and 
believes the proposed clean up methodology is well within accepted industry 
practice for remediation efforts of a similar nature. No accrual has been made
for any additional costs of possible alternative clean up methods because the
nature and dollar amount of such alternative cannot presently be determined. The
Company expects to pay the $0.3 million of accrued costs to remediate the site
over the next twelve months.
