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 March 31,
1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ended December 31, 1996.  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, 1995.


C.   Acquisitions

On October 4, 1995, Central Products Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Spinnaker Industries, Inc. (an 78% owned subsidiary of Lynch)
acquired from Alco Standard Corporation ("Alco"), the assets and stock of 
Central Products Company.  Central Products manufactures a wide variety of
carton sealing tapes and related equipment.  The cost of the acquisition was 
$80.0 million.  As a result of this transaction, the Company recorded $27.2 
million in goodwill which is being amortized over 25 years.  This transaction
was accounted for as a purchase, and accordingly, the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair market value.  

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 purchase of Central Products had been made at the
beginning of 1995.

</TABLE>

In general, the long-term debt 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.

As part of Spinnaker's acquisition of Central Products Company from Alco
Standard on October 4, 1995 (see note C), Alco provided two loans totaling $25
million and received the right to sell these notes to Spinnaker and demand
payment (the "Put Agreement").  Lynch agreed to guarantee the notes and provide
funds for the Put Agreements.  As of January 2, 1996, Alco exercised the rights
under the Put Agreement to sell the notes back to Spinnaker and in connection
therewith, as described below, Spinnaker 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. 

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 into a 5 year term loan.  The third party will be entitled
to receive a warrant to purchase 2.5% of the common equity of Spinnaker for each
quarter the term loan is outstanding up to 20% on a fully diluted basis, of the
common equity of Spinnaker.  The bridge loan bears interest at the greater of
the LIBOR reference rate 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.  The bridge loan
and term loan include a payment in kind ("PIK") feature that allows Spinnaker to
pay an 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 share of Spinnaker's common stock resulting in proceeds of $500,000
which will be used by the Company to make scheduled interest payment on the
bridge loans.  The Company has pledged its shares of Spinnaker stock to secure
such loans.  The agreement requires BF to continue to exercise its warrants to
provide funds to satisfy the outstanding interest that will be due on the bridge
loan and term loans.  Spinnaker is actively pursuing various alternatives to
refinance the indebtedness of Spinnaker and its subsidiaries, including
refinancing the bridge loan before it matures.  There can be no assurance that
Spinnaker can successfully complete any such refinancing.

       Concurrently with the closing of the bridge loan, Spinnaker paid Alco
$7.5 million of which $5.5 million was a principal payment on the $25 million
note, approximately $1.0 million related to accrued interest and $1.0 million
was applied toward a $1.75 million purchase price for a warehouse facility in
Denver, Colorado.  The unpaid balance of the $25 million note, together with the
balance due on the warehouse facility was restructured into a series of new
convertible subordinated notes consisting of the following:

  (a)  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 approximately $35.  After conversion, Alco is entitled to sell the
       shares.  If the proceeds of this sale are less than $6 million,
       Spinnaker 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;

  (b)  A 7%, $7 million convertible subordinated note due April 1997.  The
       note contains a PIK feature that allows Spinnaker, at its option, to
       satisfy the interest by increasing the principal amount of the note. 
       However, if Spinnaker selects 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 Spinnaker's common stock after April 1, 1997 at
       the then market price; and

  (c)  A 7%, $7.25 million convertible subordinated note due April 1998.  The
       note contains a PIK feature that allows Spinnaker, at its option, to
       satisfy interest by increasing the principal amount of the note. 
       However, if Spinnaker selects 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 Spinnaker stock after April 1, 1998 at the then
       current market price.

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.
             

F.   Income Taxes

The income tax provision includes federal, as well as state and local taxes. 
The tax provisions for the three months ending March 31, 1996 and 1995 represent
effective tax rates of 40.0% and 41.5%, respectively.  The rates differ from the
federal statutory rate principally due to the effect of state income taxes,
amortization of goodwill, and, in 1995 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 March 31,
1996, the Registrant had purchased 230,861 shares of Common Stock to date 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 the exercise of all stock options
having an exercise price less than the greater of the average or closing market
price at the end of the period of the Common Stock of the Registrant using the
treasury stock method.
