                CONTINENTAL MATERIALS CORPORATION
          SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION FORM 10-Q
    NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   QUARTER ENDED JUNE 29, 1996
                           (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.As discussed in Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
  Statements in the Company's 1995 Annual Report, the Company
  signed a new Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement (the
  Agreement) in February 1996.  The term loan is payable in semi-
  annual principal installments of $500,000 with final payment
  of all then unpaid principal, on February 15, 1999, including
  extension periods.  The loan bears interest at prime or an
  adjusted LIBOR rate.  The Agreement also provides for a
  $14,500,000 line of credit through February 15, 1999.

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

4.Operating results for the first six months of 1996 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 1995 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 six months of 1996 used $713,000 in
  cash compared to $6,555,000 in 1995.  Improved earnings
  accounted for approximately $1,200,000 of the difference.
  Additionally, a planned reduction in accounts payable and
  accruals in the prior year of over $4,000,000 compared to an
  increase of $1,700,000 in payables and accruals in the current
  year contributed to the improved cash flows.  The current year
  growth in payables and accruals was the result of the
  increased level of business.  Both periods included settlement
  payouts related to suits brought against the Company.  The
  1996 settlement involved a $1,000,000 payment while the 1995
  payout was $250,000.  Both amounts were fully reserved as of
  December 31, 1994 and therefore had no impact on either
  period's operations.
  
  The Company estimates that its short-term line of credit (of
  which $5,200,000 was outstanding at June 29, 1996) will be
  adequate to meet its cash requirements for the foreseeable
  future.  See also the discussion of 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 remainder of the year.  The Company expects
  to liquidate all short term borrowings by the end of the year.
  
  
  Operations - Comparison of Quarter Ended June 29, 1996 to
  Quarter Ended July 1, 1995
  (See page 3)
  
  Consolidated net sales increased $7,769,000 (40.1%) as both
  segments showed substantial growth.  The construction
  materials segment reported sales up $4,167,000 (53.9%) as the
  construction market in the Colorado Springs, Colorado area
  continues at a robust level.  Phoenix Manufacturing's sales
  increase attributed to new customers as well as hot dry
  weather in the areas serviced resulted in a $3,602,000 (31.1%)
  improvement in the heating and air-conditioning segment.
  
  Consolidated cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and
  depletion) as a percentage of sales decreased from 80.0% to
  75.3%.  Increased sales and production combined with cost
  savings at all locations lead to the improvement.
  
  Selling and administrative expenses increased $537,000 (17.5%)
  while declining as a percentage of sales from 15.9% to 13.3%.
  The dollar increase is attributable mainly to higher sales
  volume while the percentage decline is due to the fixed nature
  of many of the expenses.

  Operations - Comparison of Six Months Ended June 29, 1996 to
  Six Months Ended July 1, 1995 (See page 4)
  
  Net sales increased $9,430,000 (26.5%).  The increase of
  $3,976,000 (18.6%) in the heating and air-conditioning segment
  and the increase in the construction materials segment,
  $5,454,000 (38.6%) were due to the reasons noted above.
  
  Consolidated cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and
  depletion) as a percentage of sales improved from 80.8% to
  76.3% due to reasons noted above.
  
  Selling and administrative expenses increased $598,000 (9.7%)
  while the percentage of sales declined from 17.4% to 15.1%.
  The changes are due to the reasons noted above.
  
  The equity loss from mining partnership includes a first
  quarter write-down in the carrying value of the investment of
  $628,000.  The project remains shut down as the partners
  continue to hold discussions with third parties regarding a
  sale of the mine.  Due to the uncertainty of the project's
  future, management believes an additional write down of the
  investment's carrying value was warranted.  The remaining
  value of $750,000 carried on the balance sheet is management's
  best estimate of the investment's current market value.
  
  Historically, the Company has experienced operating losses
  during the first quarter.  The second quarter has historically
  improved over the first quarter's operating results.  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 yield higher gross profits in the fourth
  quarter.

Notes:
     Primary and fully diluted amounts are not reflected on the
     face of the Consolidated Statements of Operations and
     Retained Earnings because they differ from basic earnings
     per share by less than 3%.  Therefore, basic earnings per
     share are presented on the face of the statements.
