       NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                      (Unaudited)


1.  Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary
for a fair presentation of results of operations for the
periods presented have been included in the accompanying
unaudited consolidated financial statements of ATRION
Corporation (the Company). Such adjustments consist of
normal recurring items.  The accompanying financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and include only the
information and notes required by such instructions. 
Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes included in the Company's
1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Because of the seasonal nature of certain of the
Company's operations, among other factors, the results of
operations for the periods presented are not necessarily
indicative of the results which will be achieved for an
entire year. 

2.  Change of Corporate Name
On May 6, 1996, the Articles of Incorporation of AlaTenn
Resources, Inc. were amended, changing its name to ATRION
Corporation.  All references to the Company subsequent to
May 6, 1996 will utilize the new name of ATRION
Corporation.

3.  Purchase of Halkey-Roberts Corporation
On May 21, 1996, the Company purchased all the
outstanding capital stock of HRC Acquisition Holding
Corp., a Delaware corporation which, in turn, owns all of
the outstanding capital stock of Halkey-Roberts
Corporation, a Florida corporation (Halkey-Roberts),
pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement,
dated the same date between ATRION Corporation and Fenway
Holdings, L.L.C. 

The Company paid Fenway a total of $11,650,000 in cash
under the Stock Purchase Agreement, of which $10,000,000
was borrowed under an existing revolving credit facility
with Compass Bank and $1,650,000 was obtained from the
Company's general corporate funds.  The excess of cost
over tangible assets acquired of $1.9 million was
allocated to goodwill.  Goodwill will be amortized over
its estimated useful life which approximates 25 years.

Halkey-Roberts designs, manufactures and markets
proprietary valves and pneumatic systems used in the
medical and health care, inflation and container
industries.

The following table presents selected financial data on
a pro forma basis assuming the purchase of Halkey-Roberts
had occurred as of January 1, 1995.  The pro forma data
reflect estimated asset, liability, revenue and expense
values of Halkey-Roberts and other assumptions which are
based on estimates and subject to revision.  The pro
forma combined results presented are not necessarily
indicative of actual results that would have been
achieved had the acquisition occurred at the beginning of
the periods presented, or of future results.

                   ATRION CORPORATION

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


Results For The Three Months Ended June 30, 1996
The Company's consolidated net income for the quarter
ended June 30, 1996 was $1,447,000 or $.68 per share
compared with $1,261,000 or $.60 per share for the second
quarter of 1995.  The earnings per share computations are
based on shares outstanding of 2,120,084 in 1996 and
2,115,948 in 1995.
  
Consolidated revenues of $29.6 million for the second
quarter of 1996 were 81% higher than revenues of $16.3
million for the second quarter of 1995.  The increase in
revenues in the second quarter of 1996, compared to the
same period in the prior year, occurred primarily at the
Company's natural gas marketing subsidiary.  This
increase between periods resulted primarily from
significant volume and price increases related to colder
weather.  Sales volumes by this unit increased by 40%
above volumes for the second quarter of 1995.  Due to
increased demands for natural gas which were due to the
colder weather, natural gas prices increased by 47%
compared to the prior year period.  Also, during the
second quarter of 1996,  Halkey-Roberts contributed $1.7
million, or 10%, of this increase in revenues between
periods.  (See Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements).

Gross margin of $5.3  million in the second quarter of
1996 was $1.4 million or 37% higher than that in the
comparable period in 1995.  The increase in gross margin
occurred in both the pipeline and energy segment and the
medical and health care products segment.  The increase
in margins in the pipeline and energy segment was the
result of the start-up of a gaseous oxygen pipeline which
was operational during the second quarter as well as
increased transportation revenues due to a major
industrial customer increasing its natural gas usage
because of equipment failures which reduced its ability
to use alternate fuels.  Margins in the medical and
health care products segment increased as a result of the
acquisition of Halkey-Roberts as well as higher margins
related to higher sales at Ryder International
Corporation, the Company's other primary medical and
health care products subsidiary.

The cost of goods sold of $24.3 million for the second
quarter of 1996, a 94% increase from the same period in
1995, was consistent with the changes in revenues in the
pipeline and energy segment related to volume and price
referred to above as well as to the acquisition of
Halkey-Roberts.

The Company's operations and maintenance expenses of $2.7
million for the second quarter of 1996 were $1.0 million
higher than in the second quarter of 1995. This increase
was primarily attributable to operating costs at Halkey-Roberts 
as well as costs at the Company's medical devices
marketing unit, formed in late 1995 to market and
distribute a newly developed line of products, called
LacriCATH , to be used in a patented ophthalmic surgical
procedure for treating excessive tearing of the eye. 

Depreciation and amortization expense of $.4 million for
the second quarter of 1996 was comparable to that for the
same period in the prior year.

Interest and other income of $213,000 in the second
quarter of 1996 increased $22,000 compared to  the second
quarter of 1995.  The increase was attributable to income
from a one-time project that was substantially offset  by
a reduction in interest income between years due to the
use of corporate funds for the acquisition of Halkey-Roberts 
and by lower interest income on the take-or-pay
receivable at the Company's interstate pipeline
subsidiary.

Interest expense of $99,000 in the second quarter of 1996
was $57,000 higher than in the comparable prior-year
period due to an increase in debt related to the
acquisition of Halkey-Roberts.

Income taxes in the second quarter of 1996 were $104,000
greater than in the comparable period in the prior year
due to the increase in income in the current period.

Results For The Six Months Ended June 30, 1996
The Company's consolidated net income for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 was $3,546,000 or $1.67 per share
compared with $2,792,000 or $1.32 per share for the first
six months of 1995.  The earnings per share computations
are based on shares outstanding of 2,120,004 in 1996 and
2,115,717 in 1995.
  
Consolidated revenues of $70.9 million for the first six
months  of 1996 were 83% higher than revenues of $38.8
million for the first six months of 1995.  The increase
in year-to-date revenues compared to the same period in
the prior year occurred primarily at the Company's
natural gas marketing subsidiary.  This increase between
periods resulted primarily from significant volume and
price increases related to colder weather.  Sales volumes
by this unit increased by 32% above volumes for the same
six-month period of 1995 and natural gas prices increased
by 69% compared to the prior-year period.

Gross margin of $11.2  million for the first six months
of 1996 was $2.5 million or 29% higher than in the
comparable period in 1995.  The increase in gross margin
occurred in both the pipeline and energy segment and the
medical and health care products segment.  The increase
in margins in the pipeline and energy segment was the
result of colder weather, increased transportation
revenues to a major industrial customer which increased
its natural gas usage because of equipment failures and
due to the start-up of a gaseous oxygen pipeline which
was operational during the second quarter of 1996. 
Margins in the medical and health care products segment
increased as a result of the acquisition of Halkey-Roberts 
as well as higher margins at Ryder International
Corporation, the Company's other primary medical and
health care products subsidiary.

The cost of goods sold of $59.7 million for the first six
months of  of 1996 represented a 98% increase from the
same period in 1995 and was consistent with the changes
in revenues in the pipeline and energy segment related to
volume and price referred to above as well as to the
acquisition of Halkey-Roberts.

The Company's operations and maintenance expenses of $5.1
million for the first six months of 1996 were $1.4
million higher than in the same period of 1995. This
increase was primarily attributable to operating costs at
Halkey-Roberts, acquired by the Company in May 1996, as
well as operating costs at the Company's medical devices
marketing unit.

Depreciation and amortization expense of $.7 million for
the first half of 1996 was comparable to that for the
same period in the prior year.

Interest and other income of $503,000 for the first six
months of 1996 increased $155,000 compared to  the first
six months of  1995.  The increase was attributable to
income from the sale of substantially all of the assets
of a small natural gas distribution subsidiary and income
from a one-time project partially offset by a reduction
in interest income between years.  The decline in
interest income was due to the use of corporate funds for
the acquisition of Halkey-Roberts and by lower interest
income on the take-or-pay receivable at the Company's
interstate pipeline subsidiary.

Interest expense of $125,000 for the first six months of
1996 was $25,000 higher than in the comparable prior year
period due to an increase in debt related to the
acquisition of Halkey-Roberts.

Income taxes in the first six months of 1996 were
$423,000 greater than in the comparable period in the
prior year due to the increase in income in the current
year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 1996, the Company had  borrowings of $10.0
million, related to the acquisition of Halkey-Roberts,
under its $20.0 million revolving loan facilities with a
regional bank and  had other long-term debt, including
current maturities, of $1.7 million which was related to
the 1994 acquisition of a medical and health care
products unit.  The Company's total debt as a percent of
total capitalization at June 30, 1996 was 27%.

At June 30, 1996, the Company had cash and temporary cash
investments of $3.3 million compared with $2.8 million at
December 31, 1995.  This increase was attributable to an
increase in cash flows from operations and  collections
of receivables of take-or-pay costs by the Company's
interstate pipeline subsidiary from its customers  offset
by funds used in the acquisition of Halkey-Roberts, 
capital expenditures primarily related to the
construction of a gaseous oxygen pipeline (see Regulatory
and Other Matters)  and the payment of dividends.

The Company believes that existing cash and temporary
cash investments, cash flows from operations, cash
recoveries of take-or-pay costs by the Company's
interstate pipeline subsidiary from its customers,
borrowings available under the Company's revolving loan
agreement and other equity or debt financing, which the
Company believes would be  available, will be sufficient
to fund operations, potential projects and budgeted
capital expenditures over the next two years.

Regulatory and Other Matters
As has been previously reported, the cities of Decatur
and Huntsville, Alabama, which are municipal customers of
the Company's interstate pipeline subsidiary (Alabama-Tennessee), 
entered into 20-year contracts in late 1995
and early 1996 with Southern Natural Gas Company
(Southern), a wholly owned subsidiary of Sonat, Inc., for
Southern to provide substantially all of the cities' firm
natural gas transportation requirements, beginning in
late 1997.  Service by Southern under the contracts is
dependent upon Southern's construction of a new 118-mile
pipeline from Tuscaloosa County, Alabama to northern
Alabama.  In January 1996, Southern filed an application
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to
build the new pipeline.  On July 31, 1996, FERC issued an
order in which it made a preliminary determination that
issuance of a certificate of public convenience and
necessity was in the public's interest, subject to
further consideration of environmental issues.
Alabama-Tennessee intends to seek rehearing of this order at FERC
and otherwise continue to oppose at FERC the construction
of the pipeline.

Decatur and Huntsville account for 47% of Alabama-Tennessee's 
current total contracted demand.  If
Southern's proposed pipeline is constructed and Southern
begins providing service to the cities of Decatur and
Huntsville, the Company's management believes that the
adverse impact of the reduction in gross margins in 1998
and thereafter attributable to the expiration of the
contracts with Decatur and Huntsville would be partially
offset by Alabama-Tennessee's reduction of operating
costs, and could be further reduced by the addition of
new municipal and industrial customers and increases in
contract demand by existing municipal and industrial
customers.  ATRION's management currently believes that
even with the lower costs and the replacement of some
part of the expiring firm transportation contracts with
Decatur and Huntsville, Alabama-Tennessee would operate
at a break-even level or incur operating losses for some
period of time after April 1, 1998.  For the twelve
months ended June 30, 1996, these firm contracts with
Decatur and Huntsville represented 14% or $2,700,000 of
ATRION's gross margin, or $1,700,000, or $.82 per share,
of ATRION's net income.  However, ATRION's management
currently believes that with the favorable impact of
lower costs and the replacement of a portion of the
expiring contracts the adverse impact on the Company's
annual net income from the loss of these contracts,
beginning in 1998,  could be reduced from $1,700,000 or
$.82 per share to  approximately $750,000 or $.35 per
share if Alabama-Tennessee is operating at break even. 
If Alabama-Tennessee does not achieve break even, but
incurs operating losses, the adverse impact on ATRION's
annual net income could be greater than $.35 per share.

Southern has announced that it is planning for the new
pipeline to be placed in service by late 1997.  This
startup date depends on Southern's receipt of a final
certificate of public convenience and necessity from the
FERC and its ability to obtain various other required
permits and to construct the 118-mile pipeline over the
next approximately 15 months.  In addition to opposing
Southern's application at the FERC, on February 9, 1996,
Alabama-Tennessee filed a lawsuit in state court in
Alabama against Southern and the City of Huntsville
asserting that the firm transportation contract between
Southern and Huntsville violates Alabama's competitive
bid law and requesting that the contract be declared
void.

In the meantime, Alabama-Tennessee continues to maintain
firm transportation contracts with both cities.  Current
contracts with Decatur for approximately 93% of that
municipality's contract volume expire on November 1, 1997
with the remaining due to expire on November 1, 2000. 
Current contracts with Huntsville for approximately 86%
of that municipality's contract volume expire on April 1,
1998 with the balance also expiring on November 1, 2000.
