NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The Company was incorporated in Delaware in June, 1968.
Business done and intended to be done:
The principal markets for electrical lighting fixtures are
firms engaged in the installation of electrical fixtures in
construction projects and firms installing new or replacement
electrical fixtures in their own facilities.
The principal market for electric motors and related services
is industry in the Western Pennsylvania area.
The market for the Registrant's investment in real estate is in
Luquillo, Puerto Rico and Irwin, Pennsylvania.
The sale of the Registrant's products, except real estate, is
conducted by direct retail sales to manufacturers or sales to
distributors. Real estate sales are conducted by agents of the
Registrant.
There have been no significant changes in the kinds of products
or services rendered or in markets or methods of distribution
since the beginning of Registrant's fiscal year.
The sources and availability of raw material essential to
Registrant's business are not significant factors; however, the
profitability of Registrant's manufacture, remanufacture,
repair and sale of coils, lighting products, transformers,
electric motors and similar equipment is affected by the price
of materials.
Patents, licenses, franchises and concessions are not
significant factors to Registrant's business. Also, none of
the Registrant's segments are significantly seasonal.
There are three significant customers of the Company's
Electrical Lighting Products Division and one significant
customer of the Company's Electrical Motor Repair Division.
These customers accounted for approximately 90% and 10% of the
net revenue of each respective division and 58% of the
Company's total net sales. All significant customers are
independent of the Registrant. See note 14 to the Registrant's
financial statements.
<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity
Management expects cash flow to be restrictive over the next few
years as available cash will be used to liquidate the notes
payable and accrued interest owed by the Registrant. Major
factors affecting the Registrant's liquidity include the
following:
1. At the present time, related parties, which are owed in
excess of $2.1 million in notes payable and accrued
interest, have not charged the Registrant interest on the
portion of the liability representing accrued interest.
2. The Registrant has an available line of credit with Dollar
Bank for $150,000 with annual interest at the bank's prime
rate plus 1-1/2%. As of December 31, 1995, $91,000 had
been borrowed on the line of credit.
3. The Registrant continues to actively attempt to sell its
property in Puerto Rico. Management believes the property
to have a value in excess of two million dollars, but
recognizes that achieving this value will require
additional time and effort which may be extended and
substantial.
4. The Company also sold property in Irwin, Pennsylvania
during 1995 and 1996 with proceeds totalling approximately
$300,000.
Capital Resources
There are no commitments for any major capital expenditures at
December 31, 1995.
Net Sales
The 1995 manufacturing sales of $2,477,000 reflect a decrease of
$1,027,000 for the year. This decrease was primarily
attributable to decreased volume of electrical lighting products
sales due to a significant decrease from a major customer. The
Registrant is actively pursuing alternative business areas and
anticipates sales will remain constant in 1996.
Cost of Product Sold
The cost of raw material, labor and purchased services are
stable, with the exception of normal inflationary increases.
Research and Development Expenses
There have been no significant research and development expenses
during the last two fiscal years.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The selling, general and administrative expenses, exclusive of
attorney fees, are stable. Attorney fees decreased in 1995 by
approximately $4,000.
Interest and Financing Expense
The interest rate on the notes payable to related parties is
prime plus 1% as it was in years previous to 1995.
Net Earnings
The Company's ability to increase profitability is dependent on a
number of factors. These include a recovery from the current
industry recession, increased sales and the conclusion of
litigation (as mentioned in Note 9 to the financial statements).
The sale of the land held for sale would also have a positive
effect on net earnings.
Business in General
Backlogs existing for the electrical lighting products were
approximately $500,000 and $1,000,000 as of December 31, 1995 and
December 31, 1994, respectively. A portion of such backlog must
await release instructions from the purchaser and can be held for
some time. However, all of the backlog can be delivered within
the current fiscal year.
The manufacture and sale of electrical lighting products and the
manufacture and repair of electric motors and similar equipment
are highly competitive. Numerous larger companies with greater
resources compete with the Registrant in the market for these
products. Sales of lighting products are directly affected by
the level of industrial and commercial construction. The
Registrant's sales of land investment in Puerto Rico are affected
by the general economic conditions of Puerto Rico.
Registrant employs approximately 25 employees relating to the
manufacture and sale of electric lighting products and
approximately 10 employees relating to the manufacture and repair
of electric motors and similar equipment and the distribution of
electrical products. There are not expected to be significant
changes in the number of employees in 1996.

The following information is furnished with respect to the Chief
Executive Officer and to each Director and Officer of the Company
whose aggregate direct remuneration exceeded $100,000 for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 and with respect to all
Directors and Officers of the Company as a Group. No Officer's
or Director's aggregate direct remuneration exceeded $100,000.

Shop Materials Company, a corporation in which all voting
securities are owned by Vincent E. Oswald, received certain
accounting services, office space, office staff, telephone, and
management services from the Company and reimbursed the Company
for such services.
In 1995, Shop Materials Company paid approximately $46,700 for
such services. The Company believes that amounts received for
such services and space are fair and reasonable and are as fair
as amounts which would be received from non-affiliates for such
services and space.
Gretchen Oswald has loaned the Company prior to December 31, 1995
$60,000 and $20,000 payable on demand with interest at 10% and
8%, respectively. There is no outstanding interest on these
loans at December 31, 1995.
Vincent E. Oswald and Shop Materials Company have, from time to
time prior to and including the fiscal year ended December 31,
1995, made various loans to the Company, payable upon demand with
interest at the prime rate plus one (1%) percent. The present
outstanding balance of such loans is $1,027,890. The terms of
the loans are as favorable as the Company could have obtained
from unrelated parties. The outstanding interest on the above
loans to and including December 31, 1995 is $1,067,933.
Neither Mr. Oswald nor Shop Materials Company have charged the
Company interest on the accrued interest balance and have
provided the Company flexibility in making payments on the
interest.<PAGE>
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
February 14, 1996
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Electric M & R, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Electric M &
R, Inc. as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related
statements of operations and accumulated deficit and cash flows
for the years then ended, appearing on pages 10 through 19 of
this Annual Report. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Electric M & R, Inc. as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly
liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost
(first-in, first-out method) or market.
Property, Plant and Equipment - The cost of the assets is
depreciated using straight-line and accelerated methods over
their estimated useful lives for financial statement and tax
return purposes.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
2. INVENTORIES
Inventories consist of the following:
