            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                              December 31, 1995
                              -----------------

(1)  Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1996
     classifications.

(2)  The consolidated financial statements included in this report have been
     prepared by the Company from the consolidated statements of HMI Industries
     Inc. and its subsidiaries.  In the opinion of the Company, these
     consolidated financial statements contain all of the adjustments necessary
     to present fairly the financial position as of December 31, 1995 and
     September 30, 1995, the results of operations and cash flows for the three
     months ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. Independent public accountants
     have not audited the December 31, 1995 statements.

     These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
     with the financial statements and the notes included in the Company's
     latest annual report on Form 10-K.

(3)  In January 1996, the operations of Holland Electro B.V. in Rotterdam were
     placed into bankruptcy, triggering the Conditional Purchase Agreement the
     Company had with a Dutch bank in the amount of $1,104,000.  As a result,
     the Company is required to take possession of finished goods and
     work-in-progress inventories. It has always been the plan that these
     inventories would be sold to existing customers and that some assembly and
     purchasing would be required to liquidate these inventories.  That plan
     has been adopted and the inventories are currently being  sold.  The
     Company continues to use certain molds it purchased through Holland
     Electro B.V. to produce the ElektraPure product line.  It is anticipated
     that the proceeds from the asset liquidation and the continued utilization
     of molds may result in minimal exposure to the Company, and consequently
     no provision for loss has been made at this time.

(4)  Inventories at December 31, 1995 and September 30, 1995 consist of the
     following:

HMI INDUSTRIES INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

NET SALES - Net product sales for the quarter decreased to $28,157,000 for the
three months ended December 31, 1995 as compared to $32,068,000 in the
comparable quarter. As indicated in the Form 10-K for the year ending September
30, 1995, the two events that contributed to this decline in sales were the
labor disruption at Bliss Manufacturing and the erosion of the Mexican market.
The work disruption at Bliss Manufacturing by the U.A.W. continued late into
December 1995, at which time the Company entered into a six-year labor contract
with its own labor association.  While this contract adds stability in the
Company's labor force, the erosion of customer confidence and the uncertainty
during the previous two quarters caused a decline of $3,700,000 in sales for
the quarter ending December 31, 1995 as compared to the quarter ending
December 31, 1994.  As a direct result, the contribution of Bliss Manufacturing
to the consolidated operations of the Company was reduced by $1,100,000 for the
quarter.  The erosion of customer confidence in Mexico caused a decline in
Mexican revenues of $975,000 for the quarter ending December 31, 1994 to
$794,000 in the current quarter.  In the remainder of the Consumer Goods
Division, sales in the Household Rental Systems Division were lower by
$316,000.  The sales growth in the international markets for the Company's
Consumer Goods products offset some softness in the North American market in
the quarter.  Total product sales in the Consumer Goods Division were
$15,482,000 for the quarter ending December 31, 1995 as compared to $15,297,000
for the quarter ending December 31, 1994.



GROSS PROFIT - Gross profit for the quarter ended December 31, 1995 was
$8,662,000 or 30.8% as compared to $10,380,000 or 32.4% in the quarter ending
December 31, 1994.  In the Consumer Goods Division, the decline in the higher
gross margin sales in the Mexican market, an increase in unit cost of
production within the North American operations  and approximately $200,000 of
overhead costs incurred as a result of the duplication of production facilities
contributed to lower  gross profit.  The duplication of production facilities
will continue through March 1996 until the Consumer Goods production is moved
into its new facility.  In the  Manufactured Products Division, the tubular
operations had increased costs and very low margins. In January 1996, the US
tubular operations were placed under the management of Bliss Manufacturing and
will be relocated to existing space in Bliss' Newton  Falls, Ohio production
facility.  By relocating this operation, the tubular business will benefit from
Bliss' extensive customer base, quality and engineering programs and lower
overhead costs. These changes should allow these operations to return to
previously experienced gross margins and profitability.  The relocation will
take place over the second and third fiscal quarters. The costs of the
relocation  are expected to be minimal.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES - Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased by $1,400,000 for the quarter as compared to
the quarter ending December 31, 1994. As a percent of sales, selling, general
and administrative costs were 31.6% for the quarter ending December 31, 1995 as
compared to 23.3% for the quarter ending December 31, 1994.  The increase as a
percentage of sales is attributable to the business structure in Mexico which
remained constant while sales declined sharply. The Company has instituted an
aggressive program of overhead cost reduction which is expected to allow  the
Mexican operation to break even by the end of the second fiscal quarter.
Additionally, the level of sales expenses in the North American Consumer Goods
Division increased while the operation experienced a decline in sales for the
quarter. The costs  of product enhancements which are expensed  and the costs
of dealing with the Bliss labor disruption referred to above also contributed
to an increase in selling, general and administrative costs.

FINANCING REVENUE - Financing revenues represent the interest and fees
generated by the Company's Australian, Mexican, Canadian and United States
subsidiaries generated on the contracts financed.

INTEREST EXPENSE - Interest on short term borrowings during the quarter ended
December 31, 1995 was $253,000 as compared to $181,000 in the quarter ending
December 31, 1994.  The 9.86%, seven year, unsecured term notes comprise
$103,000 and $160,000 of the three month interest expense  in the 1995 and 1994
fiscal quarters.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

The working capital balance at December 31, 1995 was $26,087,000, an increase
of 1% from the September 30, 1995 balance of $24,269,000.

The effect of foreign exchange fluctuations is primarily limited to the
Canadian and Mexican operations.   The impact of the devaluation in Mexico
during the quarter ended December 31, 1995 was $386,000 and has been reflected
as a component of equity based on the nature of the Company's investment and
intended timing of repayment of the amounts due.  The value of the Mexican Peso
versus the US dollar continues to fluctuate.  In managements' opinion, the
amount of additional adjustments, if, any, should not have a material effect on
consolidated shareholders' equity.

The Company's cash increased $270,000 during the quarter ended December 31,
1995.  Accounts receivable decreased by $694,000 while finance contracts
receivables increased by $1,075,000. Inventories increased by $2,401,000 as the
result of increased  purchases in December of steel to take advantage of cost
incentives, softer sales in the North American Consumer Goods operations  and
the inventories required for the Company's new products in the filtration and
consumer products markets.  Prepaid expenses increased by $771,000 as the
result of costs incurred in the quarter which were deferred and will be
amortized over the period in which benefit is to be received as well as the
deferral of specific costs related to the introduction of the Company's room
air cleaner (Defender),  new attachments and the ActivaJet needle less insulin
injector.  New market and product development outlays will be amortized over
their respective benefit and income periods.  Unamortized trademarks of
$1,418,000  represent amounts paid at the time of the Household Rental Systems
acquisition

which will be amortized during the remainder of  the term of the license
agreement. Accounts payable increased by $2,724,000, primarily due to   the
increase in inventory levels in December 1995.

Capital expenditures during the quarter were $605,000.  In the Consumer Goods
Division, the additions included $109,000 for tooling, $24,000 for equipment
and $50,000 for steam cleaning machines.  In the Manufactured Products
Division, the outlays were $55,000 for an overhead crane, $45,000 for a new
forklift, $80,000 towards the new Bliss Manufacturing press line, $70,000 for a
tube bending machine.  Capital outlays also include $47,000 for computer
hardware and software and $126,000 in improvements to the renovated Cleveland
production facility.

In January 1996, the operations of Holland Electro B.V. in Rotterdam were
placed into bankruptcy, triggering the Conditional Purchase Agreement the
Company had with a Dutch bank in the amount of $1,104,000. As a result, the
Company is required to take possession of finished goods and work-in-progress
inventories. It has always been the plan that these inventories would be sold
to existing customers and that some assembly and purchasing would be required
to liquidate these inventories.  That plan has been adopted and the inventory
has begun to be sold.  The Company continues to use certain molds it purchased
through Holland Electro B.V. to produce the ElektraPure product line.  It is
anticipated that the proceeds from the asset liquidation and the continued
utilization of molds may result in minimal exposure to the Company, and
consequently no provision for loss has been made at this time.

During the quarter ended December 31, 1995 the Company made another annual
principal payment on the unsecured, 9.86%, seven year private placement term
notes, leaving a balance of $3,333,000.  This debt, obtained in November 1990
to finance the acquisition of Bliss Manufacturing Company, requires annual
principal payments of $1,666,667 in November 1996 and 1997.

The outstanding balance on the Company's line of credit was $13,000,000 at
December 31, 1995, bearing interest at a half of a percent less than the prime
lending rate.  The increase in the borrowings of $2,038,000 since September 30,
1995 was for the payment of annual bonus and profit sharing contributions in
December, the investments in new products and  the annual principal payment on
the private placement term notes.   During December 1995, the Company
negotiated an increase in its line of credit to $14,500,000 to meet anticipated
requirements.

The Company continued the renovation of the production facility acquired in
June 1995. The Company  is negotiating a construction loan to be completed in
February for $2,300,000 to finance the remainder of the renovation project.
The Company will sell  its existing production facility in March 1996 which
will provide proceeds of $490,000.

Management is focusing on the reduction of both inventories and accounts
receivables in order to reduce borrowings and increase cash flow.  In addition,
management is pursuing the sales of portions of the finance contract portfolios
that it has funded from operating cash flows.  During the next quarter,
management will pursue alternatives to its current borrowing structure which is
being utilized for future  projects, products and capital items.  Management
believes that its potential to borrow from existing debt sources and the
aggressive program of asset management will meet the liquidity needs of the
Company.
