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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Net sales increased by 2.5% for the six month period ended
June 30, 1995 as compared to the same period ended June 30, 1994,
and decreased 5.5% for the three month period ended June 30, 1995,
as compared to the same period ended June 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
June 30, 1995, as compared to the three month period ended June 30,
1994 and the three month period ended March 31, 1995.

     The cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 74.4% and
71.2%, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June
30, 1995, as compared to 74.7% and 74.5%, respectively, for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1994.  This 3% decrease
in the cost of sales as a percentage of sales for the six month
period ended June 30, 1995 over the same period ended June 30, 1994
and the three month period ended March 31, 1995, is attributable
the efficiencies created by increased production levels brought
about by an increased demand for Homasote products during the three
month period ended March 31, 1995.  Demand for Homasote products
slowed during the three month period ended June 30, 1995,
decreasing net sales and slowing production levels.

     Net earnings increased by 30.0%, from $93,223 to $121,192, for
the three month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively,
and 125.44% from $246,110 to $554,830 respectively, for the six
month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.  This increase in net
earnings is attributed to a reduced cost of goods sold, Millboard
sales department restructuring and the economic improvement.

     Interest income increased by 191.2% and 198.9% respectively,
for three and six month period ended June 30, 1995, as compared to
the same periods ended June 30. 1994.  These increase are due to a
rising rate of interest on an greater amount of assets held for
investment.  Interest expense increased by 5.6% and 12.2%
respectively for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
1995 as compared to 1994, due to increasing interest rates in a
reduced balance of debt outstanding.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES            

        Capital expenditures for new and improved facilities and
equipment were $590,000 in 1995 and $190,000 in 1994.   Capital
expenditures are financed primarily through internally generated
funds and debt, and are expected to be approximately $ 500,000 for
the remaining six (6) months of 1995.  In February 1992,           
the Company renegotiated with its bank, short term and long term
lines of credit in the amounts of $1.0 million and $2.5 million
respectively.  As of December 31, 1994, the Company had $887,500
outstanding against the long-term line of credit for the purposes
of consolidating existing debt, equipment renovation and other
working capital requirements.  The short term line of credit was
retired in February 1993 with a payment in the amount $0.5
Million. 
Repayment of borrowing on the $2.5 million line of credit began in
March 1993, with the first of 35 monthly installment payments.  The
last in final payment against this long-term line of credit is
due in February 1996.  Loans outstanding under this line of credit
are subject to Financial Covenants relating to cash flow, working
capital, net worth and the environment.  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 June 30, 1995, 
the Company is in compliance with the loan covenants.              

     On June 23, 1995, the Company made a short-term load to Warren
L. Flicker, President and CEO of Homasote Company in the amount of
$656,000, for the purpose of purchasing a principle residence and
obtaining a mortgage.  Interest is due monthly, at a rate of 6% or
at the federal short-term lending rate, whichever is greater, with
the entire amount of the loan due in full in 90 days.  As of the
latest balance sheet date of June 30, 1995, the entire balance of
$656,00 was outstanding.  The effect of this transaction, as well
as that of normal business operations is reflected in the reduction
in cash of $2.0 million and the increase in accounts receivable of
1.0 million, from December 31, 1994 to June 30, 1995.


OTHER DEVELOPMENTS              

        During 1994, demand for wastepaper, the primary raw
material
for 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 a result, effective the third quarter
of 1994, the Company  began purchasing wastepaper at current
prevailing market rates.                   


INFLATION AND ECONOMY           

        While the economic outlook has improved, 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.
