               Three-month periods ended May 31, 1995 and 1994



Note A    In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed 
          consolidated financial statements contain such adjustments (all of
          which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary to present        
          fairly the financial position of The Tranzonic Companies (Company)    
          at May 31, 1995 and the results of operations for the three-month
          periods ended May 31, 1995 and 1994.  The statements should be read
          in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
          thereto included in the Company's annual report for the fiscal year
          ended February 28, 1995.

Note B    Net earnings per share have been calculated based on the weighted 
          average Class A common and Class B common shares outstanding during
          the periods plus the incremental shares (calculated using the 
          treasury share method) for those outstanding share options which are
          considered equivalent shares and have a dilutive impact on net
          earnings per share.

          The table below depicts the average Class A common and Class B common 
          shares used in the calculation of net earnings per share for the
          reported periods:

Note C    On March 1, 1995, the Company acquired substantially all the assets 
          and assumed certain liabilities of Plezall Wipers, Inc., a Miami,     
          Florida, distributor of woven textile wipers.  The acquisition was
          accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.

                -----------------------------------------------
                 Financial Condition and Results of Operation
                 --------------------------------------------

The Company's financial position remains strong.  At May 31, 1995, the  current
ratio was 3.3:1 and current assets continued to exceed total liabilities.

Revenues for the first quarter ended May 31, 1995 rose 7.2 percent to   
$39,269,877 from $36,647,776 recorded a year ago.  Increased sales to our
institutional customer base and the March 1, 1995 acquisition of Plezall
Wipers, Inc. overcame some weakness experienced in certain consumer product
categories.

Significant increases in the cost of core raw materials, such as wood pulp and
paper products used extensively in our Personal Care Division and Industrial    
Packaging Division, and to a lesser extent steel used extensively in our
Housewares Division, have contributed to a 10.0 percent year-to-year increase
in cost of goods sold. Improved sales volume and cost containment programs
decreased selling, general, and administrative expenses on a relative basis to
26.9 percent of sales in the first fiscal quarter compared to 27.2 percent a
year ago.

Operating earnings were $1,723,189, a 19.3 percent decrease from $2,135,520
earned in the prior year like period.  While the Company is adjusting selling
prices in an effort to recover raw material cost increases and to maintain
gross margins, intense competition has slowed the achievement of this
continuing goal.

On March 1, 1995, the Company acquired substantially all the assets and assumed
certain liabilities of Plezall Wipers, Inc., a Miami, Florida, distributor of
woven textile wipers.  Debt used to fund this transaction and the forward
purchase of certain raw materials has caused an increase in net interest
expense for the current first fiscal quarter as compared to a year ago.

The effective income tax rate in the just ended quarter of 33.2 percent
compared to a 38.6 percent rate in the prior year like period and reflected
certain credits recognized in the current year tax rate calculation.

Net earnings for the first fiscal quarter decreased 17.4 percent to $1,040,773
or 30 cents per share, as compared to $1,260,663 or 36 cents per share in the 
prior year like period.

                                  Exhibit 99


                     Independent Auditors' Review Report
                     -----------------------------------

The Board of Directors
The Tranzonic Companies:

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of The        
Tranzonic Companies and subsidiaries as of May 31, 1995, and the related
condensed consolidated statements of earnings and cash flows for the
three-month periods ended May 31, 1995 and 1994.  These condensed consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical review  
procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for
financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an
audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the
objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial
statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should 
be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above
for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of The Tranzonic Companies and        
subsidiaries as of February 28, 1995, and the related consolidated statements
of earnings, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not
presented herein); and in our report dated March 31, 1995, we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.  In our
opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated
balance sheet as of February 28, 1995, is fairly presented, in all material
respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been
derived.
