                               PROXY STATEMENT 
                                    ------ 

   The accompanying Proxy is solicited by the management of Moyco 
Technologies, Inc. (hereinafter called the "Company"). All shares represented 
by proxies will be voted at the annual meeting of shareholders on December 
11, 1996, and all adjournments thereof in the manner designated, or if no 
designation is made, they will be voted for the election of the directors. 
This Proxy Statement and the accompanying form of Proxy are being mailed to 
the stockholders on or about November 19, 1996. Any stockholder giving a 
proxy has the power to revoke it at any time before it is voted by delivery 
of a written instrument of revocation to the office of the Company, 200 
Commerce Drive, Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania 18936, or at the meeting 
without, however, affecting any vote previously taken. The presence of a 
stockholder at the meeting will not operate to revoke a proxy, but the 
casting of a ballot by stockholder who is present at the meeting will revoke 
a proxy as to the matter on which the ballot is cast. 

   The Company will bear the cost of soliciting proxies. Proxies are being 
solicited by mail and, in addition, directors, officers and employees of the 
Company may solicit proxies personally or by telephone or telegraph. The 
Company will reimburse custodians, brokerage houses, nominees and other 
fiduciaries for the cost of sending proxy material to their principals. The 
Company will not use the services of a professional organization. 

   Only stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 1, 
1996 will be entitled to vote at the meeting. Outstanding voting securities 
of the Company on that date were 4,140,340 shares of common stock. Each of 
the outstanding shares is entitled to one vote. The holders of stock do not 
have cumulative voting rights. 

   Stock may be voted in person or by proxy appointed by a writing signed by 
a stockholder. No proxy will be revoked by the death or incapacity of the 
maker unless written notice of such death or incapacity is given to the 
Company by the fiduciary having control of the shares represented by the 
proxy. 

   The Company's annual report to the stockholders for its fiscal year ended 
June 30, 1996, including audited financial statements, is being mailed to all 
stockholders herewith.

               INFORMATION REGARDING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND 
                     THE AUDIT AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE 

   Marvin E. Sternberg, Jerome Lipkin, and William Woodhead attended the only 
formal board meeting held during the course of the fiscal year. Messrs. Paul 
and Cravetz did not attend this meeting. There were additional informal 
meetings held at least once a month attended by the above-mentioned three 
directors. Neither employee nor non-employee directors of the Company are 
compensated for their services as directors; however, travel expenses 
incurred to attend a meeting are reimbursable. The Board of Directors has no 
standing Nominating Committee. 

   The Board of Directors of the Company has an Audit and Compensation 
Committee consisting currently of Messrs. Sternberg (Chairman), Lipkin and 
Woodhead. The function of the Committee concerning Audit is to make 
recommendations to the Board regarding the engagement of the Company's 
independent auditor, to review arrangements for and scope of the independent 
audit and to review the scope of any non-audit services which might be 
performed for the Company by the independent auditor. The function of the 
Committee concerning Compensation is to review compensation of officers and 
to review transactions in which officers, directors or employees may have a 
potential conflict of interest. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, 
there were several informal meetings of the members at which Committee 
business was discussed.

                              STOCK OPTION PLAN 

   On October 30, 1992 the Board of Directors adopted a Key Employee Stock 
Option Plan (the "Plan"), which was approved by vote of the Company's 
shareholders in 1992. The Key Employee Stock Option Plan is currently limited 
by its terms to grants of stock options to employees, including directors, of 
Moyco. The Board of Directors of the Company believes that it is in the best 
interests of the Company and its shareholders to amend the Plan to permit 
similar grants of incentive compensation to non-employee directors, and 
accordingly on October 31, 1996, the Board of Directors adopted an amendment 
to the Stock Option Plan as hereinbelow described. 

   The purpose of the Plan is to further the long-term growth of the Company 
by offering incentive compensation relating to the long term performance 
goals of those employees and non- employee directors who will be responsible 
for planning, directing and achieving such growth. The Plan is also intended 
to be a means of reinforcing the commonality of interest between the Company 
and employees and non-employee directors, and as an aid in attracting and 
retaining employees and non-employee directors of outstanding abilities and 
specialized skills. Unless sooner terminated by the shareholders of the 
Company or the Board, the Plan shall remain in effect for a period of ten 
years from the original date of the Plan's adoption by the Board. 

   The Plan is to be administered by the Moyco Technologies Stock Option Plan 
Committee of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Committee"). The members 
of the Committee are to be appointed by the Company's Board of Directors to 
serve until their respective successors have been appointed, and shall 
consist of two or more non-employee directors. Irvin Paul and Marvin Cravetz 
are currently members of the Committee. The Committee shall have sole 
discretion to select the employees, including an employee who is an officer 
or a director of the Company, to whom Options may be granted, to determine 
the amounts of such grants and to interpret, construe and implement the Plan. 
All non-employee directors will receive Options under the terms of the Plan, 
as amended. 

   An aggregate of 200,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company are 
authorized for Options granted from time to time. Key employees, including an 
employee who is a director or an officer, who are selected from time to time 
by the Committee are eligible to receive Options under the Plan. Since the 
Plan provides for discretion in the selection of employees to whom grants 
will be made, it is impossible to determine the number of persons who will 
participate. Options for no more than five percent of the shares of Common 
Stock subject to the Plan may be granted to any individual owning more than 
ten percent of the issued and outstanding Common Stock. The Plan, as amended, 
will provide a one time grant to each non-employee director of an Option for 
one thousand (1,000) shares of Common Stock of the Company. Options granted 
to non-employee directors will expire five (5) years from the date of grant. 
Each Option granted to non-employee directors is vested and exercisable in 
full on the date of grant. 

   The purchase price for Common Stock under each Option is the Fair Market 
Value of the Common Stock at the time the Option is granted, but in no event 
less than the par value of the Stock. The Option price is to be paid in full 
at the time an Option is exercised in cash or in shares of Common Stock with 
a current Fair Market Value equivalent to the Option price. Options granted 
under the Plan to employees are exercisable during a period of 10 years from 
the date of grant. If an optionee ceases to be employed by the Company, the 
employees' Option terminates immediately. If the optionee's cessation of 
employment is due to retirement with the Company's consent, the optionee may 
exercise the Option within three months after cessation of employment. If an 
optionee dies while employed by the Company, or within three months after 
having retired with the Company's consent, the executor or administrator, 
legatee or heir, if there be no executor or administrator shall have the 
right to exercise the Option to the extent the deceased optionee was entitled 
to exercise the Option. 

   No Option granted under the Plan to an employee is transferable except by 
will or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or the laws of 
descent and distribution. Options granted to non-employee directors are 
transferrable to the spouse or children of the non-employee director and by 
will or by the laws of descent and distribution. 

   The plan provides for appropriate adjustments of the provisions of 
outstanding Options and the number of shares available for future awards in 
the event of any changes in the outstanding Common Stock by reason of merger, 
stock splits or similar events. The Board of Directors may terminate, amend 
or modify the Plan at any time; provided, however, that no such action of the 
Board of Directors shall in any manner affect any Option 

                                        3
<PAGE>

theretofore granted to an optionee under the Plan without the consent of the 
optionee. Neither the granting of adoption nor the execution of an Option 
agreement shall affect the terms and conditions of an optionee's employment. 
In the absence of a specific agreement to the contrary, the Company may 
terminate an optionee's employment at any time, subject to applicable state 
or federal employment laws. 

   The Board of Directors recommends approval of the Stock Option Plan, as 
amended. A vote of approval by the holders of the majority of the shares is 
required for the Plan's approval.

   Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan: Under the Profit Sharing Plan, the Company 
contributes to the Plan based on earnings of the Company with the amount 
determined by the Board of Directors each year. 

   Under the 401(k) Plan, the Company contributes up to 3% percent of the 
first 6% of each employee's contribution. 

   These plans serve to retain employees and executives since profit sharing 
funds and employee 401(k) contribution funds do not fully vest until after
