                     REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Spinnaker Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Spinnaker 
Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (formerly Safety Railway Service 
Corporation) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated 
statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of 
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995.  Our audits also 
included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 14(a). 
These financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of the 
Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 
financial statements and schedules based on our audits.  We did not audit the 
financial statements of Central Products Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary, 
which statements reflect total assets of $94,492,000 as of December 31, 1995 
and total revenues of $30,581,000 for the three month period ended December 
31, 1995.  Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report 
has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates
to data included for Central Products Company, is based solely on the 
report of the other auditors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits and the report 
of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Since the date of completion of our audit of the accompanying financial 
statements and initial issuance of our report thereon dated February 29, 1996, 
which report contained an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company's 
ability to continue as a going concern, the Company, as discussed in Note 4, 
has completed a debt financing arrangement to refinance the $25 million 
subordinated notes on a long-term basis.  Therefore, the conditions that 
raised substantial doubt about whether the Company will continue as a going 
concern no longer exist.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the 
consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all 
material respects, the consolidated financial position of Spinnaker 
Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, 
and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for 
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity 
with generally accepted accounting principles.  Also, in our opinion, the 
related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the 
basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material 
respects the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, in 1994 the 
Company changed its method of accounting for short-term investments.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Board of Directors of
 Spinnaker Industries, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of the Central Products 
Company (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Spinnaker Industries, Inc.) as of 
December 31, 1995 and the related statements of operations and shareholder's 
equity and cash flows for the three months ended December 31, 1995. These 
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based 
on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a 
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material 
respects, the financial position of the Central Products Company as of 
December 31, 1995 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for 
the three months ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles.

                           DECEMBER 31, 1995


1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

OWNERSHIP

Spinnaker Industries, Inc., (formerly Safety Railway Service Corporation) 
("Spinnaker") is an 83% owned subsidiary of Lynch Manufacturing Corporation, 
which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lynch Corporation ("Parent").

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts  of Spinnaker, 
its wholly-owned subsidiary, Entoleter, Inc. ("Entoleter"), its wholly-owned 
subsidiary, Central Products Company ("CPC"), and its majority-owned (80.1%) 
subsidiary, Brown-Bridge Industries,  Inc. ("Brown-Bridge")  (collectively 
referred to hereinafter as the "Company"). All significant intercompany 
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Spinnaker's operations consist of the following: CPC manufactures and sells 
water-activated and pressure-sensitive carton sealing tapes; Brown-Bridge 
develops, manufactures, and markets a broad line of adhesive coated 
materials, which are further converted by printers and industrial users into 
a variety of products for marking, labeling, promoting, decorating, and 
identifying applications; and Entoleter designs, manufactures, and sells 
industrial processing, and air pollution equipment. The Company's operations 
are primarily in the U.S., however, $10.4 million, $3.9 million, and $806,000 
of the Company's sales were export sales for the years ended December 31, 
1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions 
that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying 
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common and 
dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during each year, after giving 
effect to the three-for-two stock splits. Common equivalent shares are 
comprised of options and warrants to acquire common stock.  Fully diluted 
earnings per share did not differ significantly from primary earnings per 
share in any year presented.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with a maturity of less 
than three months when purchased.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

On January 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting 
Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity 
Securities." Under Statement 115, the accounting for investments depends on 
the classification of such securities as either held-to-maturity, 
available-for-sale, or trading. Marketable equity securities which are held 
for resale in anticipation of short-term market movements are classified as 
trading securities and unrealized gains and losses are included in the 
results of operations. All of the Company's short-term investments are 
classified as trading.  The effect of this adoption was not significant to 
1994 earnings.

At December 31, 1994, short-term investments were invested in United States 
Treasury money market funds for which an affiliate of the Parent served as 
investment manager to the respective funds.

Proceeds from sales of marketable securities were $359,000 for the year ended 
December 31, 1993. The cost of marketable securities sold is determined on 
the specific identification method.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable of Brown-Bridge consist principally of amounts due from 
companies who convert the adhesive coated materials into end products and 
comprise 46% of total accounts receivable. Accounts receivable of CPC 
comprise the remaining 49% of total accounts receivable  and consist 
principally of amounts due from paper distributors. Accounts receivable of 
Entoleter, which comprise 5% of total accounts receivable consist principally 
of amounts due from foreign and domestic food processing companies. Credit is 
extended based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition and 
collateral  is  not generally required.  The Company  considers 
concentrations of credit risk to be minimal due to the Company's diverse 
customer base.  In relation to export sales, the Company requires letters of 
credit supporting a significant portion of the sales price prior to 
production to limit exposure to credit risk. The Company maintains an 
allowance for doubtful accounts at a level that management believes is 
sufficient to cover potential credit losses.

INVENTORIES

All inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market.  Brown-Bridge's 
inventory, which comprises 47% of total inventory is valued using the 
specific identification method. CPC's inventory, which comprises 48% of total 
inventory is valued using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. Entoleter's 
inventory, which comprises 5% of total inventory is valued using the 
first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.  The FIFO cost and LIFO cost of CPC's 
inventory were the same at December 31, 1995.

During the fourth quarter of 1994, Entoleter wrote off $200,000 of inventory 
in response to management's change in product focus. The write-off is 
included in cost of sales in the consolidated statement of operations.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment is stated on the basis of cost. Depreciation is 
computed on the straight-line or declining balance method over the estimated 
service lives of the related assets, which range from five to thirty-five 
years for buildings and improvements and three to twenty years for machinery 
and equipment.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

GOODWILL

Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of the net assets 
acquired and is amortized on a straight-line basis over 25 years.  
Accumulated amortization at December 31, 1995  totaled $279,000. The carrying 
value of goodwill is reviewed if the facts and circumstances suggest it may 
be impaired. If this review indicates that goodwill may not be recoverable, 
as determined based on the estimated future undiscounted cash flows of the 
entity acquired, the Company's carrying value of the goodwill is reduced.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenues at the time of shipment.

INCOME TAXES

The accounts of the Company are included in the consolidated federal and 
certain state income tax returns filed by its Parent. Under the terms of an 
agreement for the allocation of tax liabilities among the Parent and its 
operating units, the Company provides amounts in lieu of income taxes for 
financial reporting purposes on a separate return basis. Amounts in lieu of 
income taxes currently payable or receivable are due to or from the Parent.

The Company utilizes the liability method to account for income taxes as 
required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting 
for Income Taxes." The income tax provision differs from amounts currently 
payable or receivable because certain items of income and expense are 
reported for income tax purposes in periods different from those in which 
they are reported in the financial statements. The tax effects of these 
temporary differences are recorded as deferred income taxes.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and development expenses were $603,000, $259,000, and $90,000
in 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

On February 1, 1996, the Company's board of directors adopted a resolution to 
amend the articles of incorporation to increase the authorized number of 
common shares to 10,000,000.

On November 14, 1995, the Directors of the Company declared a three-for-two 
stock split of the Company's common shares, paid on December 29, 1995 to 
shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 15, 1995. All 
presentations of shares outstanding and amounts per share have been restated 
to reflect the stock split.

On November 17, 1994, the Directors of the Company declared a three-for-two 
stock split of the Company's common shares, paid on December 30, 1994 to 
shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 16, 1994. All 
presentations of shares outstanding and amounts per share have been restated 
to reflect the stock split.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued 
liabilities, and short-term borrowings are carried at cost which approximates 
fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair 
value of the Company's long-term debt is estimated based on the quoted market 
prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to the 
Company for similar debt of the same maturities. The carrying value of the 
Company's long-term debt approximates its fair value at December 31, 1995 and 
1994.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company accounts for its stock compensation arrangements under the 
provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."  
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock 
Based Compensation," was issued in October 1995 and is effective for years 
beginning after December 15, 1995.  The Statement establishes financial 
accounting and reporting standards for stock based compensation plans. 
Companies may elect to account for such plans under the fair value method or 
to continue previous accounting and disclose pro forma net earnings and 
earnings per share as if the fair value method was applied. The Company has 
not yet determined the potential financial statement impact of this 
Statement, nor has it decided how it will initially adopt this Statement.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 
No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived 
Assets to be Disposed of," which requires impairment losses to be recorded on 
long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are 
present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those 
assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. Statement 121 also 
addresses the accounting for long-lived assets that are expected to be 
disposed of. The Company will adopt Statement 121 in the first quarter of 
1996 and, based on current circumstances, does not believe the effect of 
adoption will be material.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial 
statements to conform with the current year's presentation.

FOURTH QUARTER ADJUSTMENTS

Certain adjustments were recorded at Brown-Bridge in the fourth quarter.  The 
adjustments related to the capitalization of certain costs previously 
expensed, recognition of additional depreciation, and a reduction in the 
estimated performance plan accrual. The net effect of these adjustments was a 
$390,000 increase in fourth quarter income before income taxes and minority 
interest.

2. ACQUISITIONS

ACQUISITION OF BROWN-BRIDGE

On September 19, 1994, Spinnaker purchased 80.1% of Brown-Bridge Industries, 
Inc., an entity formed to acquire Kimberly Clark's Brown-Bridge operation 
("Brown-Bridge"), which manufacturers adhesive-coated products for labels and 
related applications. The total cost of the transaction  was approximately 
$36 million, which included  the assumption of approximately $7 million of 
liabilities.

The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase with the purchase price 
allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as follows (in 
thousands):

<TABLE>

                                                       -------
</TABLE>

In 1995 Brown-Bridge increased the inventory reserve and allowance for 
doubtful accounts by $479,000 to properly reflect the value of inventory and 
receivables acquired in September 1994.  These adjustments were accounted 
for as a reallocation of the purchase price, resulting in a corresponding 
increase to the acquired value of property, plant, and equipment.

At December 31, 1995, Brown-Bridge had a receivable from the seller totaling 
$459,000 representing amounts paid by Brown-Bridge during 1995 for product 
warranty liabilities that were in excess of the liability recorded on the 
balance sheet on the acquisition date. Such amount is recoverable from the 
seller pursuant to the purchase agreement and has been collected subsequent 
to December 31, 1995.

Pursuant to the terms of the purchase and sales agreement, the Seller 
retained substantially all corporate obligations, including employee-related 
expenses (such as pension, health and other benefit plans), and substantially 
all environmental and other contingent liabilities of Brown-Bridge relating 
to periods prior to the acquisition date.

ACQUISITION OF CENTRAL PRODUCTS

Effective October 4, 1995, Central Products Acquisition Corporation entered 
into a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement with Unisource Worldwide, Inc. and 
Alco Standard Corporation ("Alco"), which is Unisource's parent. Central 
Products Acquisition Corporation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Spinnaker 
Industries, Inc. and was formed to acquire Central Products Company ("CPC"), 
which manufactures and sells water-activated and pressure-sensitive carton 
sealing tapes. The purchase price under the agreement was approximately $80 
million.

4. LONG-TERM DEBT AND WORKING CAPITAL REVOLVERS

In conjunction with the acquisition of CPC, on September 29, 1995, CPC 
entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the "Loan Agreement"), which 
provides for two term loans designated as Term Loan A ($20 million) and Term 
Loan B ($16 million).  In addition, the Loan Agreement provides for a 
revolving line of credit of up to $24 million of which $14.1 million was 
outstanding at an interest rate of 9.5% at December 31, 1995. CPC has pledged 
all of its capital stock to secure CPC's obligations under the agreement as 
well as granted a security interest and lien on substantially all of CPC's 
assets and granted mortgages on certain of its properties. The term loans 
bear interest at a variable rate that is related to the Federal Reserve's 
"Bank Prime Loan" rate and CPC's ratio of debt to cash flow. Interest on both 
loans is payable quarterly beginning January 1996. At December 31, 1995, the 
variable interest rate was 9.5% for Term Loan A and 10.5% for Term Loan B. 
Principal payments on Term Loan A in amounts ranging from $375,000 to $1.5 
million are due quarterly, beginning December 31, 1995 through September 29, 
2002. Principal payments on Term Loan B in the amount of $2 million each are 
due quarterly, beginning December 31, 2000 through September 29, 2002.  CPC 
is required to comply with various covenants, including interest and fixed 
charge coverage, minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and  
amortization, and restrictions on capital expenditures and incurrence of 
additional indebtedness.

As part of the Spinnaker acquisition of CPC from Alco Standard Corporation on 
October 4, 1995 (see note 2) Spinnaker and CPC issued subordinated notes to 
Alco in the amounts of $25 million and $5 million, respectively. The $25 
million subordinated note is comprised of a $15 million subordinated 
convertible note and a $10 million subordinated note.  Alco also received the 
right to sell the $25 million subordinated notes to Spinnaker and demand 
payment (the "Put Agreements").  Lynch Corporation agreed to guarantee the 
notes and provide funds for the Put Agreements. Lynch charged the Company a 
guarantee fee of .05% per month of the $25 million principal amount of the 
subordinated notes ($375,000 in 1995).

The $15 million subordinated convertible note issued by Spinnaker bears 
interest at the rate of 8%. Interest on the note is payable semi-annually on 
each March 31 and September 30. The entire principal amount and all accrued 
and unpaid interest is due on March 31, 2003. The note is convertible into 
Spinnaker common stock at a price equal to the weighted average of all sales 
prices for Spinnaker common stock on NASDAQ for the period from September 18, 
1995 through September 29, 1995 plus 10%; provided, that the conversion price 
is not less than $33 per share or greater than $40 per share.

The $10 million subordinated note issued by Spinnaker bears interest at the 
rate of 11% and is payable quarterly.  The note requires principal payments 
of $2.5 million each on September 30, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005.

The $5 million subordinated note is interest free through September 30, 1996 
and thereafter interest is charged at a rate of 8%. Interest is payable 
semi-annually, beginning March 31, 1997.  The first principal payment of $1 
million is due on December 31, 1998 with the balance due December 31, 1999 or 
on December 31, 2000 if any debt that is senior to this note remains unpaid 
at December 31, 1999.

4. LONG-TERM DEBT AND WORKING CAPITAL REVOLVERS (CONTINUED)

As of January 2, 1996, Alco exercised its rights under the Put Agreements to 
sell the subordinated notes back to Spinnaker and in connection therewith, as 
described below, the Company entered into a new financing agreement with the 
seller and a third party to make a partial principal payment on the note and 
replace the balance with a new financing arrangement.  In addition, the new 
financing agreement includes funds for the purchase of a warehouse facility 
in Denver, Colorado from the seller in the amount of $1.75 million.

On April 5, 1996, Spinnaker entered into an agreement with a third party for 
an $8.5 million bridge loan. The bridge loan is due on December 30, 1996 and 
if not paid will convert to a 5 year term loan.  The Company has agreed, if 
the bridge loan is converted into a term loan, each quarter the term loan is 
outstanding, the lender will be entitled to receive a warrant to purchase 
2.5% of the common equity of Spinnaker up to 20% of its common equity on a 
fully diluted basis.  The bridge loan bears interest at the greater of the 
LIBOR reference rate plus 5% or the Treasury rate plus 5% for the first 90 
days, then incrementally increasing by .25% for every subsequent 90 day 
period.  On April 5, 1996 the rate in effect was 10.4%.  Spinnaker may also 
fix the rate at 18% if the floating rate increases to or above that rate.  
Interest is payable on the bridge loan in arrears on July 15, 1996, October 
15, 1996, January 15, 1997, and upon any prepayment of the bridge loan.  
Interest is payable on the term loan (if the bridge loan is converted) in 
arrears on April 15, July 15, October 15, and January 15 of each year.  The 
bridge loan and term loan include a payment in kind ("PIK") feature that 
allows the Company to pay any interest in excess of 16% (the maximum cash 
interest) by issuing additional bridge notes.  Also on April 5, 1996, an 
entity affiliated with Richard J. Boyle and Ned N. Fleming III ("BF"), the 
Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively, 
exercised warrants to purchase 187,476 shares of Spinnaker's comon stock 
resulting in proceeds of $500,000 which will be used by the Company to make 
scheduled interest payments on the bridge and term loans.  The loan agreement 
requires BF to continue to exercise its warrants to provide funds to satisfy 
the outstanding interest that will be due on the bridge and term loans.  All 
funds that the Company receives from BF for the exercise of the warrants is 
required to be immediately deposited into an escrow account.  The escrow 
agent will withdraw funds on deposit in the escrow account on each date on 
which a payment of interest is required to be made on the bridge or term 
loans.

Concurrently with the closing of the bridge loan, the Company paid Alco $7.5 
million of which $5.5 million was a principal payment on the $25 million 
subordinated notes, approximately $1 million related to accrued interest, and 
$1 million was applied toward the purchase price of the warehouse facility.  
The unpaid balance of the $25 million subordinated notes, together with the 
balance due on the warehouse facility was restructured into a series of new 
convertible subordinated notes consisting of the following:

     A 7%, $6 million convertible subordinated note that automatically 
     converts including accrued interest, into Spinnaker common stock 30 days 
     after the execution of the note at a conversion price per share of $35,
     unless Alco reasonably objects.  After conversion, Alco is entitled to 
     sell the shares and Spinnaker has agreed to bear the cost of engaging 
     an investment banking firm to assist Alco in the sale.  If a sale 
     cannot be effected on or before June 30, 1996, Spinnaker is obligated
     to register the shares to enable Alco to sell the shares in the public
     market.  If the proceeds of this sale are less than $6 million, the 
     Company is required to pay the difference between $6 million and the 
     sales proceeds to Alco either in cash or an equivalent number of
     common shares.

     A 7%, $7 million convertible subordinated note due the earlier of April 
     5, 1997 or if the bridge loan is converted into a term loan, then six 
     months after the maturity date of the term loan.  Interest is due in 
     arrears on each September 30 and March 31 during the term of the note 
     beginning September 30, 1996.  The note contains a PIK feature that 
     allows the Company, at its option, to satisfy the interest payments by 
     increasing the principal amount of the note.  However, if the Company 
     elects the PIK option, the interest rate on the note is 9%.  All or any 
     part of this note can be converted at Alco's option into shares of the 
     Company's stock after April 1, 1997 at the then market price.

     A 7%, $7.25 million convertible subordinated note due the earlier of 
     April 5, 1998 or the first anniversary after the payment date of the $7 
     million subordinated note discussed in the preceding paragraph.  
     Interest is due in arrears on each September 30 and March 31 during the 
     term of the debt beginning September 30, 1996.  The note contains a PIK 
     feature that allows the Company, at its option, to satisfy the interest 
     payments by increasing the principal amount of the note.  However, if 
     the Company elects the PIK option, the interest rate on the note is 9%. 
     All or any part of this note can be converted at Alco's option into 
     shares of the Company's stock after April 1, 1998 at the then market 
     price.

The Company's Parent has pledged its shares of Spinnaker stock to secure the 
new convertible subordinated notes and bridge loan.  Richard J. Boyle and Ned 
N. Fleming III agreed to guarantee personally the obligations of BF to the 
holder of the bridge loan.  BF has pledged its warrant, all of the shares of 
common stock owned by it, and any shares of common stock subsequently 
acquired by it, to secure the bridge loan.

Based on the terms of the bridge loan and the restructured subordinated notes 
with Alco, the Company has classified the $25 million subordinated notes to 
Alco as long-term.

On September 19, 1994, Brown-Bridge entered into a Loan and Security 
Agreement (the "Loan Agreement"), which provides for a term loan of $9 
million.  The loan is due in various installments over a five year period, 
including monthly payments beginning in July 1995 and certain mandatory 
prepayments. Interest is payable monthly at 1.25% over the lender's base 
rate, as defined. At December 31, 1995 the lender's base rate was 8.5%. 
Brown-Bridge is required to comply with various covenants, including interest 
and fixed charge coverage and minimum levels of operating earnings, as well 
as restrictions on the payment of dividends to Spinnaker. All assets of 
Brown-Bridge have been pledged as security under the Loan Agreement.

In 1988, Entoleter borrowed $1.1 million from a bank, under the terms of a 
mortgage agreement. Terms of the mortgage note required monthly payments of 
$10,000, which included interest at 10%, through July 1994.  In July 1994, 
the interest rate was adjusted to 9 1/4%.  The entire outstanding balance at 
July 1, 1997 becomes due and payable on demand.

The terms of the mortgage include covenants that provide, among other things, 
a limitation on the amount of annual dividends payable by Entoleter. At 
December 31, 1995, under the most restrictive covenant, there were no 
retained earnings available for the payment of dividends from Entoleter to 
Spinnaker. At December 31, 1995, certain real property of Entoleter (net 
carrying value of $420,000) is pledged as collateral to secure the mortgage.

The following is a summary of the Company's long-term debt at December 31, 
1995 and 1994:

The Company also maintains short-term lines of credit with banks for working 
capital needs at each subsidiary that aggregate $45.5 million. The Company 
had cash advances of approximately $27 million outstanding under the lines of 
credit as of December 31, 1995. Interest on all outstanding borrowings bear 
interest at variable rates related to the prime interest rate or the lender's 
base rate. At December 31, 1995, the interest rates in effect ranged from 
8.5% to 11%. At December 31, 1994, the interest rate in effect on the 
Company's short-term lines of credit was 8.5%. Credit availability under the 
lines of credit are subject to certain variables, such as the amount of 
inventory and receivables eligible to be included in the borrowing base.  
These lines  are  secured by the operating assets of the  Company's 
subsidiaries.

The Company is required to comply with various covenants including a 
limitation  on capital expenditures, interest and fixed charge coverage, and 
minimum levels of operating earnings, as well as various other financial 
covenants. Certain of the lines of credit allow for the issuance of letters 
of credit and require the payment of a fee based upon the face amount of each 
letter of credit issued. The line of credit agreements expire in 1997 for 
Entoleter, 2000 for CPC, and 1999 for Brown-Bridge.

Certain agreements with its lenders impose restrictions on the ability of the 
Company or the Company's subsidiaries to pay dividends. At December 31, 1995 
and 1994, there were no amounts available for the payment of dividends to 
Spinnaker or Spinnaker's shareholders. On April 5, 1996, the Brown-Bridge and 
CPC loan agreements were amended to allow for the payment of dividends to 
Spinnaker if certain conditions were met.

Financing costs were incurred by Brown-Bridge and CPC in conjunction with 
their respective acquisitions and the related debt that was incurred. These 
financing costs are deferred and amortized over the term of the related debt. 
Unamortized financing costs of $2,200,000 and $259,000 at December 31, 1995 
and 1994, respectively, are included in other assets.

Interest paid in 1995, 1994, and 1993 on all outstanding borrowings amounted 
to approximately $3.6 million, $520,000, and $100,000, respectively.

5. NOTES PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTIES

Notes payable to related parties comprise two promissory notes, the first in 
the amount of $964,950 is payable to the Parent and the second in the amount 
of $321,650 is payable to an entity affiliated with Richard J. Boyle and Ned 
N. Fleming III ("BF"), the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and 
President, respectively. The notes payable to the Parent and BF bear interest 
computed at 18% per annum. The amount of accrued interest for both notes at 
December 31, 1995 and 1994 amounted to $231,000 and $67,000, respectively.  
These notes, including interest, are due and payable on September 16, 1997.

7. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

ENTOLETER

Entoleter has two defined-benefit pension plans, one for all salaried 
employees and one for all full-time hourly employees. The benefits for both 
the salaried plan and the hourly plan are based on compensation and years of 
service with Entoleter. Entoleter's funding policy for both plans is to 
contribute funds necessary to meet future benefit obligations.

The following table sets forth the salaried and hourly plans' funded
status as of December 31, 1995 and 1994:

projected benefit obligation for the salaried plan were 7.25% and 4.0%, at 
December 31, 1995 and 7.25% and 5.5% at December 31, 1994. The weighted 
average discount rate and rate of increase in future compensation levels used 
in determining the actuarial present value of the projected benefit 
obligation for the hourly plan were 7.25% and 4.0% at December 31, 1995 and 
7.25% and 5.0% at December 31, 1994. The expected long-term rate of return on 
plan assets for both plans was 8% in 1995, 1994, and 1993.

CENTRAL PRODUCTS COMPANY

Pursuant to the CPC acquisition agreement, CPC assumed sponsorship of a  
defined benefit pension plan for union employees per their collective 
bargaining agreement and also agreed to establish a new defined benefit plan 
for non-union employees hired by CPC. The seller retained the defined benefit 
pension obligation for non-union retirees as of September 30, 1995 and any 
non-union employees not hired by CPC.

The acquisition agreement requires the seller to transfer assets to the CPC 
plans equal to the present value of accrued benefits as of September 30, 1995 
as defined in the agreement plus a defined rate of interest to the transfer 
date. Accordingly, CPC has not recorded the unfunded projected benefit 
obligation as a liability when recording the purchase accounting entries.

CPC had not established a plan for the non-union employees as of December 31, 
1995. CPC intends to establish a plan early in 1996 with the same benefits 
provided by the seller's plan.  Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, CPC 
will grant credit to the employees for all service with the seller through 
September 30, 1995, plus the benefits they accrue under the new plan from 
October 1, 1995 through their retirement or termination.  The benefit 
obligation and the net periodic pension cost information as of and for the 
three months ended December 31, 1995 have been calculated assuming the new 
plan had been established on October 1, 1995.

The weighted average discount rate and rate of increase in future 
compensation levels for both plans were 7.75% and 4%, respectively, at 
December 31, 1995. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets for 
both plans was 8% in 1995.

CPC assumed sponsorship of a 401(k) plan for union employees.  This plan does 
not require any contributions from CPC. CPC intends to establish a defined 
contribution plan for non-union employees in 1996.

BROWN-BRIDGE

Brown-Bridge has a defined contribution plan that covers substantially all of 
its employees. Under the plan, Brown-Bridge can match, at its discretion, a 
portion of employee contributions not exceeding 8% of the employee's 
compensation. Amounts contributed to the plan by Brown-Bridge are 20% vested 
each year for five years. On the acquisition date, employees of Brown-Bridge 
who were previously employed by Kimberly-Clark Corporation received vesting 
rights based on the years of credited service with Kimberly-Clark

8. INCOME TAXES

The Company is included in the consolidated income tax return filed by its 
Parent.  The Company has a payable to the Parent for federal income taxes of 
$277,000 at December 31, 1995 and a receivable from the Parent for federal 
income taxes of $70,000 at December 31, 1994. Under the terms of a tax 
sharing agreement with its Parent, Spinnaker can only utilize its net 
operating loss carryforwards to the extent it has taxable income. 
Accordingly, a valuation allowance was recorded in conjunction with the 
adoption of Statement 109 as of January 1, 1993 to offset the deferred tax 
asset. In 1995, the Company eliminated the $279,000 valuation allowance 
related to the deferred tax asset because it generated sufficient taxable 
income to utilize the deductible temporary differences. During 1994 the 
Company utilized approximately $257,000 of tax operating loss carryforwards.

Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the 
financial statement and tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities.  
Temporary differences consist primarily of differences in tax and book 
depreciation methods and lives and the timing of the deductibility of 
certain expenses.  Cumulative differences at December 31, 1995 and 1994 are 
as follows:

Lynch Corporation provides the Company with certain management services, 
which include executive, financial and accounting, planning, budgeting,  tax, 
legal, and insurance services.  In connection therewith, the Company 
incurred management service costs of $100,000 per year for 1995, 1994, and 
1993.

On June 13, 1994, the Company and BF entered into a Management Agreement (the 
Management Agreement) pursuant to which BF agreed to provide management 
services to the Company. The Management Agreement has an initial term of one 
year, and is automatically renewable for a term of one additional year unless 
either party gives notice of termination. The Management Agreement is 
terminable on 90 days notice by either party. BF received management fees of 
$200,000 and $112,000 in 1995 and 1994, respectively, plus reimbursement of 
expenses. Effective January 1, 1996, the management fee has been increased to 
$400,000 per year. The Company and BF also entered into a Warrant Purchase 
Agreement in 1994, pursuant to which BF received warrants to purchase 678,945 
shares of Common Stock at any time on or before June 10, 1999, subject to 
certain restrictions and the continuation of the Management Agreement, at 
$2.67 per share (adjusted for the 3 for 2 stock splits effective December 29, 
1995 and December 30, 1994). In connection therewith, the Company received 
the right to 25% of any future fee income earned by BF and the right to 
participate in 25% of any future transaction entered into by BF. The Company 
also has the right to repurchase the warrants if certain events occur. BF may 
also, on the occurrence of an equity offering by the Company, receive warrants
to acquire additional shares of the Company.

During 1994, Brown-Bridge granted certain of its key executives options to 
purchase up to 71,065 shares of Brown-Bridge's common stock at various prices 
between $7.16 and $14.69 per share. Brown-Bridge currently has 1 million 
shares of common stock outstanding. The options become exercisable (i) in 
cumulative installments of one-fifth each year if certain levels of 
profitability, as defined in the plan, are met, or (ii) 7 years from the date 
of grant. The options were issued at not less than 100% of the fair market 
value of the common stock at the date of grant. At December 31, 1995 14,213 
options were exercisable.  None of the options were exercisable at 
December 31, 1994.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


12. LEASES (CONTINUED)

Rental payments under operating leases were $419,000, $31,000, and $0 for the 
years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993.

13. CONTINGENCIES

During 1994, Entoleter settled a class action suit, brought by a group of  
former employees, relating to post-employment benefits. The settlement 
resulted in a $125,000 charge in 1994.

Entoleter has identified possible environmental issues related to portions  
of  its land in Hamden, Connecticut. The appropriate regulatory agencies have 
been notified, but to date no action has been required by any regulatory 
agency.

The Company is involved in various claims, including those related to 
environmental matters and litigation arising in the normal course of 
business.  In the opinion of management, the resolution of these claims will 
not have a material adverse effect on the liquidity, financial position, or 
results of operations of the Company.
