Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements:

The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared 
by the Company without audit, and in the opinion of management, reflect 
all the adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company's results 
of operations for the period.  Certain information and footnote 
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been 
condensed or omitted.  Although the Company believes that the disclosures 
are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, it is
suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto
included in the Company's latest annual report.

Net Income  Per Share

The computation of primary earnings per common and common
equivalent share is based on the weighted average number of
outstanding common shares and additional shares assuming the
exercise of dilutive stock options.  The computation of fully
diluted earnings per share further assumes conversion of the
variable interest rate convertible debentures.

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

     Sales revenue for the second quarter as well as for the six
months of 1995 were higher than the same periods in 1994.  For
the first six months of 1995, all divisions experienced sales
growth compared to 1994.  Improved conditions in the general
economy seem to be the contributing factor to the increased
demand for the Company's products.  Net sales for the second
quarter of 1995 were $11,682,000, an increase of 12.1 percent
from the $10,422,000 level in 1994.  Net sales for the six  months 
of 1995 were $22,754,000 which represents a 15.1 percent increase
over the same period in 1994 of $19,770,000.

     Gross profit in the second quarter of 1995 was 25.0 percent
versus 26.2 percent in the second quarter of 1994.  For the six
months of 1995, gross profit was 23.9 percent compared to 25.3
percent in 1994.  Operating efficiencies resulting from the
higher sales volume did not offset higher material costs that
were experienced by all the Company's divisions for 1995. 
Latshaw's material suppliers have experienced increased demand
for their products and as a result have increased their prices. 
Latshaw continues to be confronted with competitive pricing
pressure which reduces its ability to pass these price increases
along.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second
quarter and the six months of 1995 were higher compared to the
same periods in 1994.  However, as a percent of sales for the
six month period, these costs amounted to 14.1 percent in 1995
compared to 14.5 percent in 1994.  The higher cost in 1995
resulted primarily from increased commissions and performance
bonuses due to the higher sales volume.  

     Interest expense was $131,000 for the second quarter of 1995
compared to $117,000 for the same period a year earlier.  For
the six months in 1995, interest expense was $244,000 versus
$190,000 in 1994.  These increases were due to additional debt
incurred to meet the working capital requirements of the higher
sales volume.  Borrowing costs in 1995 were also higher because
of an increase in interest rates the Company paid on its
outstanding convertible subordinated debentures and bank
borrowings.

     In the second quarter of 1994, the Company sold 40,000
shares of Standard Brands Paint common stock for $83,000.  This
resulted in a realized loss of approximately $529,000.  This
sale combined with the sale of 35,458 shares of Standard Brands
Paint common stock earlier in the year for $75,000 resulted in a
realized loss of $997,000 for the six months of 1994.  Proceeds
from these sales were used to pay down bank debt.  During the
same period in 1995 there were no such sales.
<PAGE>
     In 1994, the Company recorded an unrealized gain on
marketable equity securities of $218,000 for the second quarter and a
$712,000 unrealized gain for the six months.  These unrealized
gains were the result of Latshaw's policy of carrying its marketable equity 
securities at the lower of aggregate cost or market value.  
Effective October 30, 1994, the Company adopted the provisions
of Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards (SFAS), No. 115
on "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities."  In accordance with SFAS No. 115, the Company has
determined that its marketable equity securities are considered
to be "available-for-sale" and that any unrealized gains or
losses are to be reported net of tax, as a separate component of
shareholders' equity.  At October 30, 1994 and April 29, 1995,
the pretax unrealized gain on marketable equity securities was
$14,000 and $35,000, respectively. 

     The Company was the assignee of leases on certain plant
facilities in Minnesota originally leased directly by a former
subsidiary of the Company.  At the time of the sale of the
subsidiary in 1983, the Company subleased the facilities to the
buyer of the subsidiary.   These leases were to expire in 1998. 
In 1993, the lessor of the properties brought an action against
the Company, the subtenant and several other parties for the
costs of repairing the roof of certain of the facilities.  
Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of 1994, the Company 
entered into a settlement agreement with the lessor, pursuant to 
which the lessor agreed to release the Company from any past, 
present, or future liability associated with this lease and the 
Company has agreed to make future payment(s) to the lessor of 
approximately $250,000.  As a result, the Company expensed $250,000 
in the second quarter of 1994. 

     The effective income tax rate was 37.1 percent in 1995 and
37.3 percent in 1994  for the six month period.

     The Company had net income for the second quarter of 1995 of
$761,000 or $1.48 per share (primary) and $.79 per share (fully
diluted) compared to a net profit of $.65 per share (primary)
and $.36 per share (fully diluted) for the second quarter of
1994.  For the six  months of 1995, there was a per share net
profit of $2.39 (primary) and $1.28 (fully diluted) on total net
profit of $1,234,000.   This compares to a $1.72 per share
profit (primary) and $.92 per share (fully diluted) on total net
profit of $876,000 for the same period in 1994.

     The computation of primary earnings per common and common
equivalent share is based on the weighted average number of
outstanding common shares and additional shares assuming the
exercise of dilutive stock options.  The computation of fully
diluted earnings per share assumes conversion of the variable
rate convertible debentures.

     For the six months of 1995 and 1994, the Company used net
cash in investing activities of $692,000 and $547,000, respectively. 
These uses were funded by operating activities and drawing on
the available bank lines of credit.   
<PAGE>
     As of April 29, 1995, the Company, through its subsidiary,
Wescon Products Company, had an unused line of credit for
short-term bank borrowings of $3,000,000 remaining on the
$5,000,000 available, providing for interest at prime.  The
Company, through its subsidiary, Helton, Inc., also has
outstanding borrowings of $322,000 at April 29, 1995 on a
$350,000 bank line of credit.  Management believes that the
combination of funds available through its bank lines of credit
along with the anticipated cash flow from operations will
provide the capital resources necessary to meet the Company's
working capital needs.  Despite the Company's existing capital
resources, opportunities may arise that Management believes
would enhance the value of the Company that could require
financing not currently provided for.   There were no
significant capital expenditure commitments outstanding at April
29, 1995 that have not been previously disclosed.
