            SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


Note  1  -  Basis  of  Preparation
- - -----------------------------------

The  accompanying  financial  statements have been prepared in accordance with
the  requirements  of  Form  10-QSB  and  include all adjustments which in the
opinion  of management are necessary in order to make the financial statements
not misleading.  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the  Company  and  its  wholly-owned  and  majority-owned  subsidiaries.   All
significant  intercompany  accounts  and  profits  have  been  eliminated.


Note  2  -  Cash  and  Cash  Equivalents
- - -----------------------------------------

Cash  and cash equivalents include investments that are readily convertible to
known  amounts  of  cash and have original maturities of three months or less.
The  Company  places  its  cash  and temporary cash investments with financial
institutions.    At  times,  such  investments  may  be in excess of federally
insured  limits.


Note  3  -  Investments  in  Securities  and  Obligations  from  Short-Sale
- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Transactions
- - -------------

The  Company  held  no  investments and had no realized or unrealized gains or
losses  for  the  quarter  ended  September 30, 1998.  During the three months
ended  September  30,  1997 all of the Company's securities were classified as
trading  securities;  no  securities  were  classified  as held-to-maturity or
available-for-sale.    An  unrealized  gain  of $53,000 and a realized loss of
$92,000  were  recorded  in  the  quarter  ended  September  30,  1997.

As  part  of  its  investment policies, the Company's investment portfolio may
include  option  instruments and may include a concentrated position in one or
more  securities.    As  a result of this, the financial results may fluctuate
significantly  and  have  larger  fluctuations  than  with  a more diversified
portfolio.   In addition, the Company may invest in short-sale transactions of
trading  securities.    Short-sales  can  result in off-balance sheet risk, as
losses  can  be incurred in excess of the reported obligation if market prices
of  the  securities subsequently increase.  At September 30, 1998, the Company
had  no  investment  positions.


Note  4  -  Inventories

Inventories  are  comprised  of  the  following:

Note  5  -  Income  Taxes
- - --------------------------

IRS  Debt:
- - ----------

On  April  28,  1998,  the  Company  and  the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS")
entered  into an amended payment agreement, revising the payment terms related
to  NBI  Inc.'s  IRS  debt  of  $5,278,000.    This  agreement,  effective


<PAGE>
                                   NBI, INC.
            SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


as  of April 9, 1998, revised the terms of the agreement in principal with the
IRS  effective October 1, 1995 and the original settlement agreement  with the
IRS dated June 12, 1991, with respect to NBI's federal tax liabilities for the
fiscal  years  ended  June  30,  1980  through 1988.  Under the new agreement,
$3,500,000  of  the  IRS  debt  is due on or before December 31, 1998, and the
remaining  balance  of  $1,778,000 is due on or before December 31, 1999.  The
IRS  debt  continues to be collateralized by a security interest in all of the
capital  stock  of  American Glass, Inc. and NBI Properties, Inc.  Provided no
event of default occurs prior to payment of the IRS debt in full, NBI will not
be  obligated to pay any past, current or future interest related to the debt.

In  order  to  pay  the  restructured  IRS  debt, management intends to obtain
additional  equity  financing  through  a  public  offering of preferred stock
including  warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock (see Note
6).    There  can be no assurance the Company will be able to sell the minimum
offering  amount,  which is required in order to raise funds sufficient to pay
the  IRS  installment  due  on  December  31,  1998.  The Company's ability to
continue  as  a  going-concern  is dependent upon satisfaction of the IRS debt
when  due,  including  the  installment  due  on  December  31,  1999.

Income  tax  provision:
- - ------------------------

For  the  three months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, the Company recorded
income  tax provisions of $65,000 and $28,000, respectively.  These provisions
include  state  and  other  income  taxes  and  are  based  upon  book income.

In  accordance  with fresh start accounting, which was adopted as of April 30,
1992,  and as a result of the Company's reorganization under Chapter 11 of the
U.S.  Bankruptcy  Code,  utilization  of  any  income  tax  benefit  from
pre-reorganization  net  operating  losses  is  not credited to the income tax
provision,  but  rather,  reported  as an addition to capital in excess of par
value.  No pre-reorganization net operating losses were utilized for the three
months  ended  September  30,  1998  and  1997.


Note  6  -  Stockholders'  Equity
- - -----------------------------------

The  Company  has authorized 20,000,000 shares of $.01 par value common stock.
At  September 30, 1998, 10,115,520 shares were issued including 2,027,200 held
in  treasury.    Therefore,  the  Company  had  8,088,320  shares  issued  and
outstanding  at  September  30,  1998.

At  the  Company's  annual  meeting held on October 14, 1998, the stockholders
approved  an  amendment  to  the  Company's  Certificate  of  Incorporation
authorizing  issuance  of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par
value  of  $.01  per  share.    The Company has designated 2,000,000 preferred
shares  as  Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock with cumulative dividends from
the  date of original issue, accruing semi-annually, commencing June 30, 1999,
and  each  December 31 and June 30 thereafter, at the annual rate per share of
either  (a)  $1.00 in cash, or (b) .11 additional shares of Series A Preferred
Stock,  at  the  option of the holder, until December 31, 2004.  Subsequent to
December  31, 2004, the annual dividend rate per share will increase to either
(a)    $1.10 in cash or (b) .12 additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock,
at  the  option  of the holder.  The Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock has a
liquidation preference of $10 per share and is entitled to receive all accrued
and  unpaid  dividends  through  the  date  of distribution.  In addition, the
Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the Company
beginning  January 1, 1999.  The redemption price would be as follows for each
calendar year: $11.00 per share if redeemed in 1999, $10.80 in 2000, $10.60 in
2001,  $10.40  in  2002,  $10.20  in  2003,  and $10.00 in 2004 or thereafter.

            SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


The  Company  has  registered  and  reserved  1,000,000 shares of the Series A
Cumulative  Preferred  Stock  through its Registration Statement on Form SB-2,
effective  November  9,  1998, in connection with its public offering of units
consisting  of  one  share  of the Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock and two
warrants  to  purchase  the  Company's  common  stock  at $1.20 per share.  In
addition,  550,000  shares  of  the  Series  A  Cumulative Preferred Stock and
2,000,000  shares  of  the  Company's  common  stock  have been registered and
reserved  for  payments-in-kind  of  the preferred stock dividends and for the
exercise  of the common stock purchase warrants, respectively.  The Company is
in  the  process  of  filing  the  related  amendments  to  its Certificate of
Incorporation  and  Certificate  of Designation with the Delaware Secretary of
State.

In addition, the stockholders approved an amendment that allows the Company to
effect  a reverse stock split of either 1 for 2.5, 1 for 3, or 1 for 4 shares,
at  the discretion of the Board of Directors.  Further, the Board of Directors
has  the  discretion  not  to  effect  a  reverse  stock  split.


Note  7  -  Net  Income  (Loss)  Per  Common  Share
- - ----------------------------------------------------

During  the  Company's  second  quarter  of  fiscal  1998,  NBI,  Inc. adopted
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 128 issued by the
Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board.    SFAS  No.  128  provides  for  the
calculation  of  "Basic" and "Diluted" earnings per share.  Basic earnings per
share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income (loss) available
to  common  shareholders  by  the  weighted  average  number  of common shares
outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential
dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the entity, similar
to  fully  diluted  earnings  per  share.

The  following  reconciles  the  numerators and denominators of the basic and
diluted  earnings  per  common  share  computation  for  net  income:

For  the three months ended September 30, 1998, stock options outstanding with
an  exercise  price  of  $.38,  $.59  and  $.77 per share were included in the
computation  of  diluted  earnings  per share because their exercise price was
less  than  the  average  market price of the common stock during such period.
Stock  options  outstanding  with an exercise price of $.25 and $.38 per share
were  included  in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three
months ended September 30, 1997.  Stock options previously outstanding with an
exercise price of $.25 per share were not outstanding during the quarter ended
September  30,  1998.

Note  8  -  Comprehensive  Income
- - -----------------------------------

Effective  July  1,  1998,  the Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No.
130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income."    Comprehensive income includes all
changes  in  equity  except  those  resulting  from  investments by owners and
distribution  to  owners.    For the three months ended September 30, 1998 and
1997,  the Company had no items of comprehensive income other than net income;
therefore, a separate statement of comprehensive income has not been presented
for  these  periods.


Note  9  -  Seasonal  Variations  of  Operations
- - --------------------------------------------------

L.E.  Smith  Glass  Company  ("L.E.  Smith")  and the Belle Vernon Holiday Inn
typically  have  their  strongest  revenue performance during the first fiscal
quarter due to seasonal variations in these businesses.  Generally, the second
and  fourth  fiscal  quarters'  revenues  from these operations are moderately
lower  than  in the first quarter, while the third fiscal quarter's revenue is
usually significantly lower than the other quarters.  However, in fiscal 1998,
L.E.  Smith received several large orders from its significant customer during
the  historically  slower  quarters,  which  created a more consistent revenue
stream  for the year.  The Company is unsure whether this trend will continue.

                   MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                        FIRST QUARTER, FISCAL YEAR 1999


The  statements  in  this  discussion  contain  both  historical  and
"forward-looking"  statements,  as  such  term  is  defined  in  "The  Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995".  The forward-looking statements are
based upon current expectations and the actual results could differ materially
from  those  anticipated.    Factors  that  may  affect  such  forward-looking
statements  include,  among  others,  ability  to  obtain  financing,  loss of
significant  customers,  reliance  on  key  personnel, competitive factors and
pricing  pressures,  availability of raw materials, labor disputes, investment
results,  adequacy  of  insurance  coverage,  inflation  and  general economic
conditions.

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS

Revenues  totaling $4.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 increased
$887,000, or 23.8%, from $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30,
1997.

Sales  revenue  increased  $844,000,  or 27.4% for the first quarter of fiscal
1999,  compared  to  the  same  period  in  fiscal  1998, due to significantly
increased volume at L.E. Smith, including a significant amount of revenues from
new  customers,  as  well as a significant increase in orders from its largest
customer.  However, this increase was slightly offset by a significant decline
in revenues from Krazy Colors, Inc. ("Krazy Colors"), as expected, because the
Company  has  been  in  the process of restructuring Krazy Colors' operations,
which  includes  the  assumption  of additional management responsibilities by
parent  company  personnel,  concentrating  on direct sales and limiting other
sales  and  marketing  activities,  and  temporarily  laying  off  production
personnel  until  sales  activity  improves.

Service  and  rental  revenue  totaled  $679,000  for  the  three months ended
September  30, 1998, compared to $636,000 for the same quarter in fiscal 1998.
The  increased  revenue  was  primarily  related  to  a  moderate  increase in
occupancy  rates  and  a  small  increase in average daily room rates from the
Belle  Vernon Holiday Inn.   In addition, for the first quarter of fiscal 1999
as  compared  to  the  same  period  in fiscal 1998, the Company experienced a
significant  increase  in  restaurant  business,  primarily  due  to increased
occupancy; however, this was partially offset by a significant decrease in bar
business,  due  to  increased  local  competition.

Total  revenues  are  expected  to increase significantly for the three months
ended December 31, 1998, compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year,
primarily due to a significant increase in projected revenues from L.E. Smith
resulting  from  sustained  growth  from new and existing customers.  However,
this  increase  is expected to be slightly offset by a significant decrease in
expected  revenues  from  Krazy  Colors,  as  the  Company  continues  its
restructuring  efforts.   Total revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 1999
are  expected  to  decrease moderately compared to the first quarter of fiscal
1999,   primarily due to a significant decrease in projected revenues from the
Belle  Vernon  Holiday  Inn  resulting  from  seasonal  variations.

Cost  of  sales, service and rental as a percentage of total revenue was 69.1%
for  the  quarter  ended  September  30,  1998, compared to 70.0% for the same
period  in  fiscal  1998.

Cost of sales as a percentage of sales revenue was 69.9% for the quarter ended
September  30,  1998  compared  to 71.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 1998.
The  resulting  improvement  in  gross  margin  was primarily due to increased
volume  and  production efficiency at L.E. Smith, causing favorable absorption
of  fixed  costs.    However,  this  improvement  was  partially  offset  by a
significant  decline  in  gross margin from Krazy Colors, due to the decreased
revenue  volume.

Cost  of  service and rental as a percentage of service and rental revenue was
64.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 compared to 65.1% for the first
quarter  of  fiscal  1998.   The related small improvement in gross margin was
primarily  due to the increased revenue volume available to cover fixed costs.

               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                  FIRST QUARTER, FISCAL YEAR 1999 - CONTINUED


Cost  of  sales,  service  and rental as a percentage of total revenue for the
second  quarter of fiscal 1999 is expected to be moderately lower, compared to
the second quarter of fiscal 1998, due to greater absorption of fixed costs at
L.E.  Smith resulting from the projected increase in revenues.  Cost of sales,
service  and rental as a percentage of total revenue for the second quarter of
fiscal 1999 is expected to be slightly higher compared to the first quarter of
fiscal 1999 due to seasonally lower revenue volume at the Belle Vernon Holiday
Inn  available  to  cover  fixed  costs.

Marketing,  general  and administrative expenses totaled $864,000 and $840,000
for  the  three  months  ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  The
increase  was  primarily  related to increased sales and marketing activities,
partially  offset  by  the  absence  of  non-cash  compensation  expense  from
extensions  of  certain executive stock options included in the same period of
the  prior  fiscal  year.

Marketing,  general  and administrative expenses are expected to remain fairly
constant  for  the  three months ended December 31, 1998, compared to the same
period  in  the  prior fiscal year.  During the second quarter of fiscal 1999,
there  is  expected to be an increase in expenses resulting from greater sales
and marketing activities, and the absence of a credit related to a reduction of
a  reserve  for  incurred  but  not  reported health claims under a previously
self-funded  health  plan  as  included in the second quarter of fiscal 1998.
However,  this  expected  increase  will  be  mostly  offset by the absence of
executive  severance  also  included  in  the  second  quarter of fiscal 1998.
Marketing,  general  and  administrative  expenses  are  expected  to increase
moderately  in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to the first quarter
of fiscal 1999, primarily due to higher expected sales and marketing activity.

The  Company  recorded no gain or loss on investments during the first quarter
of  fiscal  1999, compared to a net loss of $39,000 for the three months ended
September  30,  1997.    As  part  of  its  investment  policy,  the Company's
investment  portfolio  may  include  investments in option instruments and may
include  a  concentrated  position  in one or more securities.  As a result of
this,  the  financial  results  may  fluctuate  significantly  and have larger
fluctuations than with a more diversified portfolio.  In addition, the Company
may  invest in short-sale transactions of trading securities.  Short-sales can
result  in  off-balance sheet risk, as losses can be incurred in excess of the
reported  obligation if market prices of the securities subsequently increase.
At  September  30,  1998,  the  Company  had  no  investment  positions.

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 1998 totaled $73,000
compared  to  $182,000  for  the  same  period of the prior fiscal year.  This
decline was primarily due to the absence of interest on the Company's IRS debt
during  the  first  quarter  of  fiscal  1999, resulting from the restructured
agreement  with  the  IRS.

The  Company  recorded  provisions for income taxes of $65,000 and $28,000 for
the  first quarter of fiscal 1999 and 1998, respectively, primarily due to the
inclusion  of Pennsylvania state income tax provisions.   The state income tax
provisions  are related to the Company's Pennsylvania operations and are based
upon  book  income,  because  NBI  does  not  have  any  net  operating  loss
carryforwards  available  in  Pennsylvania.    In  accordance with fresh-start
accounting, the income tax provisions recorded include non-cash charges to the
extent  that  the  Company expects to use its pre-reorganization net operating
loss  carryforwards.   These charges are reported as an addition to capital in
excess of par value, rather than as a credit through the income tax provision.
There  were  no  non-cash components included in the income tax provisions for
the  three  months  ended  September  30,  1998  or  1997.

FINANCIAL  CONDITION,  LIQUIDITY  AND  CAPITAL  RESOURCES

The  Company's  total  assets increased $728,000 to $12.9 million at September
30,  1998 from $12.2 million at June 30, 1998.  The increase was primarily due
to  a  significant  increase  in  trade accounts receivable resulting from the
increased  revenues  recognized  during the first quarter of fiscal 1999.  The
Company  had  negative  working capital of $2.5 million at September 30, 1998,
compared  to  negative  working capital of $2.9 million at June 30, 1998.  The

               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                  FIRST QUARTER, FISCAL YEAR 1999 - CONTINUED


favorable decline in the working capital deficit resulted primarily from the
increase in trade  accounts  receivable  partially  offset  by  an  increase in
current liabilities  due  to  the  increased  volume.

The  entire  outstanding  principal  balance on the IRS debt of $5,278,000 was
previously due in full on October 1, 1997.  Effective as of April 9, 1998, the
Company  and  the  IRS  entered into an amended payment agreement revising the
payment  terms related to NBI, Inc.'s IRS debt.  Under the new agreement, $3.5
million  of  the  IRS  debt  is  due  on  or  before December 31, 1998 and the
remaining  approximately  $1.8  million is due on or before December 31, 1999.
Provided  no event of default occurs prior to payment of the debt in full, NBI
will  not  be obligated to pay any past, current or future interest related to
the  debt.    In  order  to  pay  the  IRS  debt, management intends to obtain
additional  equity  financing  through  a  public  offering of preferred stock
including  warrants  to purchase shares of the Company's common stock.  During
the  first  quarter  of  fiscal  1999,  the Company filed a Form SB-2 with the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  to  register  the  related  stock;  the
registration  statement was declared effective as of November 9, 1998.   There
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to sell the minimum offering
amount,  which  is  required in order to raise sufficient funds to pay off the
IRS  installment  due on December 31, 1998.  The Company's ability to continue
as  a  going-concern  is dependent upon satisfaction of the IRS debt when due,
including  the  installment  due  on  December  31,  1999.

The  Company  is  currently  pursuing  various  financing options for its real
estate  development activities.  The Company expects its other working capital
requirements  in the next fiscal year to be met by existing working capital at
September  30,  1998,  internally  generated  funds  and, for L.E. Smith Glass
Company's  requirements,  short-term  borrowings  under  an  existing  line of
credit.

YEAR  2000  COMPLIANCE

The Company has completed a review and risk assessment of all technology items
used  in  its  operations.  The Company believes that the year 2000 issue will
pose  no significant operational problems.  Substantially all of the machinery
and  equipment  used by the Company's glass manufacturing and children's paint
manufacturing  operations  are manually controlled and operated.  In addition,
the  hotel operation is not significantly reliant on computer technology, with
the  exception  of  its  reservation  system, which is maintained and upgraded
under  a contract with Holiday Inns Franchising, Inc.  The Company expects the
reservation  system  to  be  year  2000  compliant  early in fiscal 1999.  The
primary  effect of the year 2000 issue is on the Company's accounting systems.

Year  2000  compliance will primarily be accomplished through purchases of new
equipment  and  data  processing  hardware  and  software  upgrades,  with  an
estimated  aggregate  cost of approximately $140,000, a significant portion of
which  has already been purchased and most of which was previously planned and
necessitated  by  other  technological needs of the Company.  The upgrading or
replacement  of  equipment  which  is  non-compliant,  as  well as the related
testing  of  such  equipment  is expected to be substantially completed during
fiscal  1999.

L.E.  Smith  currently  has  one  customer  of  such significance that if such
customer  were  to  experience  year  2000  problems  that  resulted  in  the
cancellation  or  deferral of orders, it could materially adversely affect the
results of operations of the Company.  The Company has discussed the year 2000
issue  with  this  and other material customers and vendors and currently does
not  anticipate  any  significant  problems.    In  addition, the Company will
continue  to  review  the  status of the year 2000 issues with these and other
customers  and  vendors.
