NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   Basis of presentation

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements, some of which are
     unaudited, have been condensed in certain respects and should, therefor, be
     read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes related thereto
     contained in the Company's annual report to shareholders for the year ended
     August 31, 1995. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
     interim financial statements contain all adjustments (all of which are of a
     normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation for the interim
     period. (See Note 3. below.) The results of operations for the three months
     and six months ended February 29, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of
     the results to be expected for the full year.

2.   Inventories

     Inventories of continuing operations at February 29, 1996 and August 31,
     1995 were as follows:

3.   Discontinued Operations

     The Company has announced its planned divestiture of its industrial process
     equipment subsidiary, Morehouse-COWLES, Inc. (See Part II, Other
     Information.) Accordingly, this business unit is being accounted for as a
     discontinued operation and results of its operations are segregated in the
     accompanying consolidated statements of income. The assets and liabilities
     of discontinued operations have been classified in the consolidated balance
     sheets as, "Net assets of discontinued operations." Discontinued operations
     have not been segregated in the consolidated statements of cash flow.

The components of net assets of discontinued operations included in the
consolidated balance sheets at August 31, 1995 and February 29, 1996 are as
follows:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six month period ended
February 29, 1996 was $645,000. In the comparable prior year period, $87,000 was
used by operating activities. The improved cash flows are primarily attributable
to lower growth in inventories related to improved turnover and lower required
tax payments.

The investment in property, plant and equipment relates primarily to the
acquisition of molds for new products in the material handling components
business. The Company expects to continue to invest heavily in tooling for new
products.
 
In January 1996, the Company's revolving line of credit facility of $2,000,000
was extended to January 1, 1997. The line of credit is secured by all the assets
of the Company. The outstanding balance bears interest at a per annum rate one-
quarter percentage point above the bank's prime rate. The amount outstanding
under the Company's line of credit at February 29, 1996 was $622,000, a
reduction of $316,000 from the August 31, 1995 amount due. The Company believes
that cash flows from operations and the available line of credit will be
sufficient to fund working capital and planned capital expenditure requirements
for the next twelve months.

The effect on liquidity of the planned divestiture of Morehouse-COWLES, Inc. is
not known, but the Company expects that liquidity will be improved.
 
The Company has a strategy of growth by acquisition. Although there are no plans
to make a specific acquisition, in the event such a plan were adopted, an
alternate source of funds to accomplish the acquisition would have to be
developed. The Company has 10,000,000 shares of common stock authorized, of
which 1,541,929 shares are outstanding, and 5,000,000 shares of "blank check"
preferred stock authorized of which none is outstanding. Although there are no
plans to do so, the Company could issue additional shares of common or preferred
stock to raise funds.

Sales for the second quarter, ended February 29, 1996, increased $425,000, or
17% compared to the same period in the prior year, as a result of growth in the
sales of each of the continuing businesses. Consolidated gross profit increased
$230,000, or 21% primarily related to sales growth. Gross profit as a percentage
of sales increased from 44% to 46% primarily due to the leveraging benefit of
higher volume. Operating expenses increased $202,000, or 24% from the comparable
prior year period, primarily due to expansion of sales and marketing activities
in the material handling components business. Income from continuing operations
for the quarter was $157,000 compared to $148,000 for the same period last year.

Sales of the continuing businesses for the six months ended February 29, 1996,
increased $888,000, or 18% from the comparable prior year period, primarily due
to increased sales in the material handling components business. Consolidated
gross profits increased $441,000, or 20%, primarily related to the sales
increase in the material handling components business. Operating expenses
increased $362,000, or 22% from the comparable period last year and as a
percentage of sales increased from 34% to 35% primarily because of expanded
sales and marketing activities in the material handling components business.
Income from continuing operations for the six month period was $334,000 compared
to $263,000, for the same period last year, a 27% increase.
 
The Company's backlog of the continuing businesses at February 29, 1996,
believed to be firm, was $2,949,000, 9% higher than a year earlier. The amount

The Company has accrued certain expenses directly associated with the
divestiture of the business unit.  It is not anticipated that the Company will
incur further losses from the operation of the business unit held for sale or
from the sale itself, although there is currently no firm sale agreement and the
timing and terms of a potential transaction are uncertain.

Item 5.  Other Information
- --------------------------

On January 30, 1996, the Company announced it had signed a letter of intent to
sell its subsidiary, Morehouse-COWLES, Inc., a manufacturer of process
equipment, to a privately held company.  Subsequently, the negotiations with
that company were terminated, and SUMMA INDUSTRIES is seeking other potential
acquirors.

In the last two years, SUMMA invested significantly in Morehouse, resulting in
substantially increased sales but lagging profits.  Although the operational
issues adversely impacting profits at Morehouse-COWLES are being aggressively
addressed and the long term prospects for that business are good, projected
return on investment is below that of SUMMA's other businesses, leading to the
decision to divest Morehouse and re-deploy the invested capital.

Pro-forma earnings of the Company, restated for the last three fiscal years to
reflect the planned divestiture, are:
