                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)  The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and include all adjustments which, in the
opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the results for such
periods.  These interim financial statements do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Andal Corp.'s
("Andal" or the "Company") annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
September 30, 1996.

(2)  The Company is presently in discussion with a much larger company for
the sale of the Company's principal operating subsidiary, Multi-Arc Inc.  No
agreement has been reached on either price or structure of any transaction. 
Important factors which could interfere with the completion of this
transaction are the ability of the parties to reach an agreement as to price
and structure or other details of the transaction and satisfactory completion
of the purchaser's due diligence concerning Multi-Arc's business affairs. 
There can be no assurance that these discussions will result in any
transaction.

(3)  Inventories are summarized as follows:

                                           December 31,        September 30,
                                               1996                 1996

     Work-in-process                              24                  427
                                              ------               ------
                                              $2,043               $1,553

(4)  Andal and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax
return, and state and local tax returns are generally filed on a combined
basis.

     At September 30, 1996, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards
("NOL's") for federal income tax purposes of approximately $30.3 million which
expire in varying amounts through 2010.  In addition, the Company's subsidiary
in the United Kingdom had unrelieved corporation tax losses of approximately
$1.8 million.

     Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary
differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. 
The Company has provided a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets
because it is more likely than not that a substantial portion of the net
deferred tax assets will not be realized.

(5)  Income (loss) per common share for all periods was computed based on the
average number of shares outstanding during each of the respective periods. 
The effects of stock options are not material and have not been included in
the computations.  No fully diluted per share amounts are shown for any period
as the effects would be anti-dilutive.

(6)  The Company is aware of certain lawsuits and claims which are pending
involving it and its subsidiaries.  In the opinion of the Company's
management, these matters will not result in any material adverse effect on
the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or
liquidity.

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

     The Company, through its subsidiary, Multi-Arc Inc. ("Multi-Arc"), is
engaged in surface enhancement, the business of coating materials, primarily
metals.  Multi-Arc is also engaged in the design, manufacture, assembly, and
sale of proprietary coating equipment systems.

     Consolidated operating revenues of $7.9 million for the three months
ended December 31, 1996 were $380,000, or 5% higher than the revenue for the
comparable period of the prior year.  Revenues from the Company's coating
services business rose $627,000, or 8% over the prior year, due to continued
penetration of the Company's served markets, with particular strength in the
industrial tool sector.  Revenues in the United Kingdom were especially strong
in this area and contributed to aggregate growth of 14% there.  Equipment
sales declined $277,000, as the prior year had included delivery of one small
coating system.

     Income from continuing operations before income taxes was $246,000 for
the three months ended December 31, 1996, compared with $42,000 in the
comparable period of the prior year.  Income from operations for the three
months ended December 31, 1996 was flat with the prior year, as increased
production costs occurred principally from Multi-Arc's having opened a coating
service center in Columbus, Ohio in July 1996.  Depreciation expense increased
from the prior year which reflects the recent increased levels of capital
spending.  Selling, general, and administrative expenses were flat with the
prior year, as the final effects of Multi-Arc's field sales force and sales
management augmentation were offset by savings from having ceased the
Company's New York office operations.

     Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 1996 declined
from the prior year which reflects significantly lower debt levels as a result
of the cancellation of UBC Lender debt in connection with the Company's sale
of a parcel of real estate in New York City and the retirement of Fleet
Assignee debt in exchange for common stock in August 1996.

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Cash decreased $360,000 during the three months ended December 31, 1996
as cash provided by financing activities of $815,000 and cash provided by
operating activities of $329,000 were offset by cash used by investing
activities of $1.5 million.

     Cash used by investing activities includes $1.1 million for capital
expenditures of the Multi-Arc business, principally for capacity expansion. 
In addition, in October 1996, Multi-Arc (UK) Ltd. acquired a 33% interest in
Preci-Coat S. A., a joint venture in Switzerland, for $399,000 in cash and
bank guarantees of $1.6 million.

     Cash provided by financing activities reflects additional borrowings of
$1.2 million from Multi-Arc's revolving credit facility with First Union
National Bank, principally to finance capital expenditures, offset by
scheduled repayments of $335,000 of long term debt, also to First Union.

     Cash flow provided by operating activities of $329,000 compared with
cash used of $196,000 in the comparable period of the prior year.  Higher
income from continuing operations and significant cash flow from accounts
receivable collections related to equipment sales are the principal reasons
for the year-over-year improvement.  The Company's operating results continue
to reflect a very high level of depreciation expense.
