B.   Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included.  Operating results for the three month period ended June 30, 1995
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended December 31, 1995.  For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Registrant's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.



C.   Acquisitions

On September 26, 1994, Lynch Telephone Corporation VII, a wholly owned 
subsidiary of Lynch, acquired all of the outstanding shares of Haviland
Telephone Company, Inc. from InterDigital Communications Corporation.  The 
total cost of this transaction was $13.4 million.  The transaction was 
accounted for as a purchase, and, accordingly, the assets acquired and 
liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair market value.  
As a result of this transaction, the Company recorded $8.2 million in 
goodwill which is being amortized over 25 years.

On September 19, 1994, Brown-Bridge Industries, Inc. an 80.1%-owned subsidiary
of Spinnaker Industries, Inc., (an 83%-owned subsidiary of Lynch) acquired from
Kimberly-Clark Corporation the net assets associated with its Brown-Bridge
operation, a manufacturer of adhesive-coated stock for labels and related
applications.  The cost of the transaction was $29.1 million, plus $6.9 million
in current liabilities were assumed. The transaction was accounted for as a
purchase, and, accordingly, the assets and liabilities were recorded at their
estimated fair market value. 

On March 1, 1994, Capital Communications Corporation, 49% owned by the
Registrant, acquired certain assets associated with the operations of Station
WOI-TV from Iowa State University.  Station WOI is an ABC affiliate serving the
Des Moines, Iowa market.  The total cost of the transaction was $13.0 million. 
The transaction was accounted for as a purchase, and, accordingly, the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair market
value.  Lynch is recording the results of Capital operations on an equity 
basis. 

The operating results of the acquired companies are included in the consolidated
statements of operations from their respective acquisition dates.  The following
combined proforma information shows the results of the Registrant's operations
presented as through the purchases of Haviland, Brown-Bridge and Station WOI-TV
had been made at the beginning of 1994.

These credit facilities are secured by property, plant and equipment, inventory,
receivables and common stock of certain subsidiaries and contain certain
covenants restricting distributions to the Registrant.


The Company also maintains short-term lines of credit with banks which aggregate
$34.7 million, of which $20.3 was available at June 30, 1995.  These lines are
secured by operating assets of the related subsidiaries and the common stock of
The Morgan Group, Inc.  The line of credit agreements expire in 1995 and 1996,
are renewable annually, and are at interest rates of prime minus 1/4% to prime 
plus 1%.  The weighted average interest rate at June 30, 1995 of outstanding
borrowings under the lines was 9.0%.  The Company had outstanding under these
lines of credit standby letters of credit totaling approximately $6.9 million,
securing various insurance obligations and customer advances.  Several of the
credit agreements contain covenants restricting distributions.


The subsidiaries of Spinnaker maintain long-term revolving credit and/or letter
of credit arrangements with combined maximum availability of $21.5 million. 
Credit availability under their revolving credit arrangements is subject to
certain variables, such as the amount of inventory and receivables eligible to
be included in the borrowing base.  These arrangements are at interest rates of
prime plus 1.25% to prime plus 2.5%.  At June 30, 1995, the weighted average
interest rate of outstanding borrowing under these arrangements was 10.3% and
there was $6.7 million of available capacity.

In July 1986, the Registrant issued $23 million principal amount of 8%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures.  The Debentures were redeemable at the
option of the Registrant, subject to certain restrictions, in whole or in part,
at 108.0% of principal amount initially, declining annually to 100% on or after
July 15, 1996.

Through September 21, 1994, the Registrant had either purchased on the open
market or redeemed $11,165,000 of the original issuance. At that date, in
accordance with the terms of the debenture indenture, the Registrant called for
redemption all of the remaining debentures outstanding at 101.6% of their face
amount plus accrued interest.  The redemption was completed on October 24, 1994,
and $10,195,000 of the debentures were redeemed and $1,640,000 were converted
into 52,881 shares of the Registrant's Common Stock at $31 per share. 



F.   Income Taxes

The income tax provision includes federal, as well as state and local taxes.  
The tax provisions for the three months ending June 30, 1995 and 1994 
represent effective tax rates of 39.8% and 49.5%, respectively.  The rates 
differ from the federal statutory rate principally due to the effect of state 
income taxes, amortization of goodwill, no provision required on the 
Registrant's gain in 1994 from the sale of certain securities and a valuation 
reserve provided on the benefit associated with the Registrant's equity in 
losses of Capital Communications Corporation.



G.   Capital Stock

In 1987 and 1992, the Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to a 
total of 300,000 shares of Common Stock of the Registrant.  These shares will be
retained as treasury stock for future use as required.  Through June 30, 1995,
the Registrant had purchased 230,861 shares of Common Stock at an average price
of $13.15.



H.    Earnings Per Share

Earnings per common and common equivalent share amounts are based on the average
number of common shares outstanding during each period, assuming the exercise of
all stock options having an exercise price less than the average market price of
the common stock using the treasury stock method.  Fully diluted earnings per
share reflect the effect, where dilutive, of converting any outstanding
convertible debentures and the exercise of all outstanding stock options having
an exercise price less than the closing market price at the end of the period of
the Common Stock of the Registrant using the treasury stock method.



Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
               CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Sales and Revenues

Revenues for the second quarter of 1995 increased by $37.2 million, or 94%, from
the second quarter of the prior year predominantly due to: $24.8 million in
revenues from the Brown-Bridge operation, which was acquired on September 19,
1994; $3.5 million in incremental revenues from Lynch Machinery due to 
production activity associated with the manufacture of several extra-large glass
press machines (Note: In December 1994, Lynch Machinery adopted percentage-of-
completion method of accounting for its long term contracts, which it had
previously accounted for on a completed contract basis, and 1994's results have
been restated to reflect this change); and $5.8 million in incremental revenues
from Morgan due to increased industry shipments of manufactured housing units 
and an increased market share at Morgan coupled with the acquisition of Transfer
Drivers Inc. ("TDI") in May 22, 1995, which contributed $1.3 million in revenues
to the second quarter.

For the six months ended June 30, 1995, revenues increased by $70.9 million, or
92%, over the first half of 1994.  The same factors that contributed to the
second quarter increase  also resulted in the first half increase. Specifically,
Brown-Bridge reported revenues of $48.7 million, Lynch Machinery's revenues
increased by $7.8 million and Morgan's revenues increased by $9.6 million.

On a prospective basis, the inclusion of the Brown-Bridge operation and 
increased shipments at Lynch Machinery (see below) are expected to result in 
increased reported revenues by the Registrant in the third quarter of 1995 
versus the respective prior year period.



Operating Profit

Operating profit for the second quarter of 1995 increased by $1.9 million, or
132% from the second quarter in the prior year.  The contribution of the
manufacturing segment increased by $1.6 million between the two periods, of 
which $1.3 million was due to the acquisition of Brown-Bridge.  In addition, 
both Lynch Machinery's and M-tron's contributions increased by approximately
$250,000 each.  These increases were offset, in part, by higher manufacturing 
segment administration expenses.

Operating profit grew by $4.2 million, or 103% from the first half of 1994 to 
the first half of 1995.  The manufacturing group's contribution increased by 
$3.7 million,  $2.4 million of which resulted from the inclusion of Brown-
Bridge and $1.2 million from an increase at Lynch Machinery.  Morgan's 
operating profit grew by $568,000 between the two periods due to the higher 
revenues.  Multimedia's operating profit fell by $202,000 from the first half 
of 1994 to the first half of 1995, as the inclusion of Haviland Telephone 
Company, acquired on September 26, 1994, was offset by higher depreciation 
expense at the other telephone operations.

On a prospective basis, the inclusion of Brown-Bridge and the backlog at Lynch
Machinery (see below) is expected to result in increased reported operating
profit by the Registrant in the third quarter of 1995 versus the respective 
prior year period.
 


Other Income (Expense), Net

Investment income in the second quarter of 1995 was $194,000 higher than the
second quarter of the previous year due to increased net marketable securities
gains which more than offset lower investments in securities generating current
investment income.  These factors also resulted to the first half increase of
$501,000. 

Interest expense in the second quarter of 1995 was $799,000 higher than the
second quarter of the previous year predominantly due to $853,000 of interest
expense associated with the acquisitions of Brown-Bridge and Haviland. 
Offsetting this increase was a $247,000 decrease in interest expense associated
with the redemption and conversion on October 24, 1994 of $11.8 million of the
Company's 8% Convertible Subordinated Debentures.  These factors also 
contributed to the first half increase of $1.6 million.

The share of operations of affiliated companies resulted in income of $76,000 in
the second quarter of 1995 versus a loss of $326,000 in the second quarter of
1994.  The variance resulted from improved operating results at both Stations
WHBF-TV and WOI-TV plus a significant reduction of amortization of acquisition
intangibles at Station WOI-TV.  On March 1, 1994, Lynch acquired a 49% equity
interest in Station WOI-TV and an accelerated level of amortization expense was
recorded in the first twelve months of operation.  



Tax Provision

The income tax provision includes federal, as well as state and local taxes.  
The tax provisions for the three months ending June 30, 1995 and 1994, represent
effective tax rates of 39.8% and 49.5%, respectively.  The rates differ from the
federal statutory rate principally due to the effect of state income taxes,
amortization of goodwill, no provision required on the Registrant's gain in 1994
from the sale of certain securities, and a valuation reserve provided on the
benefit associated on the Registrant's equity in losses in Capital 
Communications Corporation (Station WOI-TV).



Net Income (Loss)

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1995 was $1.2 million, or $0.82
per share, in comparison to net income for the three months ended March 31, 1994
of $206,000, or $0.15 per share.  The predominant factors that accounted for the
improvement in both the second quarter and first half results were: the 
acquisition of Brown-Bridge; increased production activity at Lynch Machinery;
higher investment income and interest expense in 1995 and reduced 
amortization expense at Station WOI-TV. 



Backlog/New Orders

Total backlog of manufactured products at June 30, 1995 was $37.0  million 
($21.9 million relates to Lynch Machinery), which represents a decrease from the
backlog of $38.8 million at December 31, 1994.  Since December 31, 1994, M-tron
Industries backlog increased by $7.7 million to $11.2 million due to increased
market demand by the industries that M-tron serves and new product 
introductions.  This increase was offset by production activity that reduced
Lynch Machinery's backlog by $7.0 million.
 



Liquidity/Capital Resources

At June 30, 1995, the Registrant had $27.7 million in cash and short-term
investments, which was $3.8 million lower than the $31.5 million reported at
December 31, 1994.  This was predominantly due to the acquisition of TDI, and
capital spending and working capital requirements.  Working capital at June 30,
1995 was $30.2 million as compared to $22.7 million at December 31, 1994.  The
predominant reason for the increase in working capital was the reclassification
from short-term to long-term of an $11.5 million bank credit facility, 
previously due on April 15, 1995, which was extended on April 14, 1995.  This 
was offset by an increase in percentage-of-completion receivables at Lynch
Machinery.  The Registrant and consolidated subsidiaries had $27.0 million of 
unused short-term credit facilities at June 30, 1995, $6.5 million of which 
relates to the Registrant.  Total debt of the Registrant increased from $98.2 
million at December 31, 1994 to $104.8 million at June 30, 1995.  

Lynch Corporation and its subsidiaries maintain active acquisition programs (see
Part II - Item 5 of this document) and generally finance each acquisition with
a significant component of debt.  This acquisition debt typically contains
restrictions on cash distributions to the parent company.  Short-term and 
long-term financing arrangements are being considered at both the parent company
and subsidiaries to fund future acquisitions.

Spinnaker Industries, Inc. has engaged an investment banking firm to assist it
in exploring various financing alternatives in order to provide additional
capital for acquisitions, working capital and other corporate purposes. 
Spinnaker is actively pursuing financing alternatives and any such financing may
involve the issuance of debt and additional equity securities of Spinnaker.  As
of the date of this filing, Spinnaker has not entered into any definitive
agreements or arrangements regarding the terms of any financing, and there can
be no assurance that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to
Spinnaker.  A substantial portion of any consummated financing will be required
for the acquisition discussed in Part II - Item 5 of this document.

In addition, the Registrant is structuring arrangements in order to participate
in 1995 in the Federal Communications Commission's auction of Broadband Personal
Communications Spectrum.  Participation in this auction and subsequent
development of the Spectrum could require a significant financial commitment and
materially impact future earnings of the Registrant.

          manufacturer.  Central Products is headquartered in Monasha,

          consummate the transaction.
