                CONTINENTAL MATERIALS CORPORATION
          SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION FORM 10-Q
    NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
                           (Unaudited)
                                
                                
                                
                                
1.The   unaudited   interim  consolidated  financial   statements
  included  herein  are  prepared  pursuant  to  the  rules   and
  regulations  for reporting on Form 10-Q.  Accordingly,  certain
  information and footnote disclosures normally accompanying  the
  annual  financial  statements have been omitted.   The  interim
  financial  statements and notes should be read  in  conjunction
  with  the  consolidated financial statements and notes  thereto
  included  in the Company's latest annual report on  Form  10-K.
  In  the  opinion  of  management,  the  consolidated  financial
  statements  include all adjustments (none of which  were  other
  than   normal  recurring  adjustments)  necessary  for  a  fair
  statement of the results for the interim periods.

2.The  Company's  credit agreement with two banks  expires  April
  20,  1996.  This agreement covers both the unsecured term  loan
  with  a  remaining balance of $4,700,000 and an unsecured  line
  of  credit of $12,000,000.  At September 30, 1995, the  Company
  has  $3,100,000 outstanding under the unsecured line of credit.
  In   addition,   the  line  of  credit  supports  approximately
  $4,400,000  of standby letters of credit.  The Company  intends
  to  enter  into a new credit agreement with the banks prior  to
  issuing  the financial statements for the year ending  December
  30,  1995.   The Company expects to maintain a similar  portion
  of  the  debt as long term, however, the requirements for  long
  term  classification of short-term obligations expected  to  be
  refinanced,  as specified in Statement of Financial  Accounting
  Standards  No.  6,  have  not yet been met.   Accordingly,  the
  entire  term debt under the existing credit agreement has  been
  classified  as a current liability.  (See Note 5  of  Notes  to
  Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's 1994  Annual
  Report.)

3.The  provision  for  income taxes is based upon  the  estimated
  effective tax rate for the year.

4.Operating  results  for  the  first nine  months  of  1995  are
  not  necessarily indicative of performance for the entire year.
  Historically,  sales of construction materials  are  higher  in
  the  second and third quarters.  Overall, sales of heating  and
  air-conditioning  products  have  not  shown  strong   seasonal
  fluctuations   in  recent  years  although  product   mix   has
  historically yielded higher gross profit margins in the  fourth
  quarter.   (See  Note  11  of Notes to  Consolidated  Financial
  Statements in the Company's 1994 Annual Report.)

  Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
               Condition and Results of Operation
                                
                                
                                
  Financial Condition (See pages 2 and 5)

  Operations  for  the first nine months of 1995 used  $2,824,000
  in  cash  compared  to a positive cash flow  of  $1,828,000  in
  1994.  A reduction in accounts payable and accrued expenses  in
  the  current  year,  including the settlement  of  the  ConAgra
  claim   (See   Note  6  of  Notes  to  Consolidated   Financial
  Statements in the Company's 1994 Form 10-K) accounts  for  most
  of  the  cash  consumption.  A modest increase  in  inventories
  since year end also was a contributing factor.
  
  During  the  second quarter of 1995, Williams  Furnace  ("WFC")
  was  notified by Pacific Gas & Electric ("PG&E") that a  recent
  inspection  had  discovered a higher than normal  incidence  of
  cracks  in  the  heat  exchanger  of  two  models  of  furnaces
  manufactured  by  WFC.  These furnaces were purchased  by  PG&E
  during  the  years  1985 to 1991.  Initial engineering  reports
  indicate  that  there is no safety hazard  arising  from  these
  cracks.    However,  PG&E  announced  its  intent  to   replace
  approximately  5,900 units purchased during  the  period.   The
  Consumer  Products Safety Commission ("CPSC") was notified  and
  WFC  continues to work with an independent engineering firm and
  the  CPSC  to  determine the cause of the cracks which,  as  of
  this  date,  is  still undetermined.  To date, no  claims  have
  been  asserted against the Company by PG&E or the actual  users
  of  the furnaces with respect to cracked heat exchangers  being
  replaced   by  PG&E.   As  such,  no  loss  accrual  has   been
  established at this time.
  
  The  Company estimates that its short-term line of  credit  (of
  which  $3,100,000 was outstanding at September 30,  1995)  will
  be  adequate  to meet its cash requirements for the foreseeable
  future.   See  also the discussion of the unsecured  term  loan
  and  the line of credit in Note 2 of the accompanying Notes  to
  the     Quarterly     Consolidated    Financial     Statements.
  Historically,  the Company's borrowings against the  short-term
  line  peak  during  the  second quarter and  decline  over  the
  second half of the year.
  
  
  Operations - Comparison of Quarter Ended September 30, 1995  to
  Quarter Ended October 1, 1994 (See page 3)
  
  Consolidated  net  sales  declined  $1,447,000   (7.4%).    The
  decrease  in  the  heating  and  air-conditioning  segment  was
  $894,000  (8.7%).   Hot,  dry weather in  the  area  served  by
  Phoenix  Manufacturing  in the third quarter  of  1994  led  to
  significantly higher sales in the prior year period.   Williams
  Furnace  also  experienced  a  decline  in  sales  due  to  new
  competitive  products.   The  construction  materials   segment
  decline of $552,000 (5.9%) was primarily due to a slow down  in
  single-family  home construction and an absence  of  two  large
  municipal jobs served by Transit Mix in the prior year.
  
  Consolidated  cost  of  sales (exclusive  of  depreciation  and
  depletion)  as  a  percentage of sales declined  slightly  from
  74.0%  to  73.1%  due  mostly to higher  production  levels  at
  Williams Furnace.
  
  
  
  
  
                                7
  
  
<PAGE>  
  
  
  Selling   and   administrative  expenses   increased   $376,000
  (12.2%).   This increase is due to continuing legal  and  other
  expenses  related mainly to the Williams Furnace heat exchanger
  matter  and  the accrual of future compensation to be  paid  to
  the Company's former president.
  
  The  Company  reported a $279,000 loss from its  investment  in
  Oracle Ridge Mining Partners compared to a loss of $140,000  in
  the  prior year quarter.  The increase from the prior year loss
  is  due in large part to lower production levels and ore grades
  as  construction  of a ramp to access additional  mining  areas
  was  delayed.  The ramp was completed in September  and  mining
  of the new area has begun.
  
  Other  income for the current quarter includes a $300,000  gain
  on  the  sale of the Company's interest in Oracle Ridge surface
  rights  to  Union Copper, Inc., the majority partner of  Oracle
  Ridge Mining Partners.
  
  
  Operations  -  Comparison of Nine Months  Ended  September  30,
  1995 to Nine Months Ended October 1, 1994 (See page 4)
  
  Net  sales decreased $426,000 (.8%).  The increase of  $669,000
  (2.3%)  in  the  heating and air-conditioning segment  was  due
  mainly  to  improvements  at Phoenix  Manufacturing  where  new
  customers  contributed to higher sales levels.  The decline  in
  the  construction materials segment, $1,125,000 (4.7%) was  due
  to the reasons noted above.
  
  Sales  and  administrative expenses increased  $797,000  (9.0%)
  due  to  expanded sales and marketing programs in  the  heating
  and  air-conditioning segment in addition to the reasons  noted
  above.
  
  The  increase in other income of $495,000 is due  to  gains  on
  the  sale of Oracle Ridge surface rights, noted above, and  the
  sale of real property in Colorado Springs.
  
  Historically,  the  Company  has experienced  operating  losses
  during  the  first quarter.  The following three quarters  have
  generally  each improved on the previous quarter.   This  trend
  is  expected to continue as sales of construction materials are
  generally  higher in the second and third quarters while  sales
  of  heating and air-conditioning products, although not showing
  strong  seasonality, experience product mix changes  that  have
  historically yielded higher gross profit margins in the  fourth
  quarter.
