    HOMASOTE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
    SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
    NOTE # 1
    MANAGEMENT'S ANALYSIS OF MATERIAL CHANGE
    BY QUARTER AS NOTED

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    Net Sales decreased by 0.6% for nine-month period ended
September 30, 1995, as compared to September 30. 1994, and
decreased by 6.6% for the three-month period ended September 30,
1995, as compared to the same period ended September 30, 1994. 
These changes are due to a slowing down of the economy and a
resultant decrease in demand for Homasote products in the three-
month period ended September 30, 1995, as compared to the three-
month periods ended March 31, and June 30, 1995.

    The cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, was 75.8% and
72.7%, respectively for the three and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 1995, as compared to 74.0% and 74.3%, respectively
for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1994. 
This 1.6% decrease in the cost of sales as a percentage of sales
for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1995 over the nine-
month period ended September 30, 1994, is attributable to the
efficiencies created by increased production levels brought about
by increased demand for Homasote products during the first quarter
of 1995.  The 3.1% increase in cost of sales as a percentage of
sales for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1995 over the
same period ended September 30, 1994 is due to the slowing of
demand for Homasote products after the three month period ended
March 30, 1995.  The resultant loss of efficiencies brought about
by the slowing of production levels, impacted upon net earnings,
which decreased 31.5% from $188,000 to $129,000, respectively, for
the three-month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, and
increased 57.5% from $434,000 to $684,000, respectively, for the
nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994. 
     
    Interest income increased 5.7% and 65.3%, respectively, for
the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995, as
compared to the same three and six month periods ended September
30, 1994.  These increases are due to a higher rate of interest and
a greater amounts of assets held for investment.  Interest expense
decreased 4.5% for the three-month period ended September 30, 1995,
as compared to the same period in 1994, due to a declining balance
of debt outstanding.  Interest expense increased 6.3% for the nine-
month period ended September 30, 1995, as compared to the same
period in 1994 due to increasing prime rate, which peaked in the
period ended June 30, 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Capital expenditures for new and improved facilities and
equipment were $609,000 in 1995 and $190,000 in 1994.  Funds for
capital expenditures are financed primarily through internally
generated funds and debt, and are expected to be approximately
$300,000 for the remaining three (3) months of 1995.  In February
1992 the Company renegotiated with its bank, a long-term line of
credit in the amount of $2.5 million.  As of September 30, 1995,
the Company had $812,000 outstanding against this line, for the
purposes of consolidating existing debt, equipment renovation and
other working capital requirements.  Repayment of the borrowing
began in March 1993, with the final payment due in February 1996. 
Loans outstanding under the credit line are subject to Financial
Covenants relating to the environment, cash flow, working capital
and net worth.  The bank, at their option, may remedy default under
any of the financial covenants with a waiver.  As of the latest
balance sheet date of September 30, 1995, the Company was in
compliance with the loan covenants.

    On June 23, 1995 the Company made a short-term loan to Warren
L Flicker, President and COO of Homasote Company in the amount of
$656,000 for the purpose of purchasing a principle residence and
obtaining a mortgage.  Interest was paid monthly, at a rate of 6%,
or at the federal short-term lending rate, whichever was greater. 
The loan was repaid in full on September 18, 1995.

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS

    During 1994, demand for wastepaper, the primary raw material
for the Homasote Company products, surpassed the supply for the
first time.  This situation is due primarily to demand by new
industries created to handle the volume of wastepaper generated by
mandated municipal recycling, and as result, effective the third
quarter of 1994, the Company began purchasing wastepaper at the
current prevailing market rates.

INFLATION AND THE ECONOMY

    The Company will continue to maintain a policy of constantly
monitoring such factors as demand and costs, and adjusting prices
as these factors and the economic condition warrant.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

    In 1991, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a
statement that will change the method of disclosure and accounting
for financial instruments.  FAS No. 107, "Disclosures about the
Fair Value of Financial Instruments", is effective for financial
statements issued for the fiscal years ending after December 15,
1995.  It requires the Company to disclose the fair value of
certain on-and off-balance-sheet financial instruments in the
audited financial statements.  Statement 107 is not expected to
have an adverse effect on the operating results of future periods
or on the financial position of the Company.
