the sale of the Company's principal operating subsidiary, Multi-Arc Inc.  No
definitive agreement has been reached.  Important factors which could
interfere with the completion of this transaction are the ability of the
parties to reach a definitive agreement as to price and structure or other
details of the transaction, condition of Multi-Arc's assets, and Multi-Arc's
prospects for future earnings.  There can be no assurance that these
negotiations will result in any transaction.

(3)  Inventories are summarized as follows:

                                         March 31,             September 30,

                                         ======                  ======

(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 carry forwards
("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 $9.2 million and $17.1 million,
respectively, for the three months and six months ended March 31, 1997 were
$1.5 million and $1.9 million, or 19% and 12% higher than the revenue for the
comparable periods of the prior year.  Revenues from the Company's coating
services business rose $1.1 million, or 8% in the six month period over the
prior year, due to continued penetration of the Company's served markets, with
particular strength in the industrial tool sector.  Equipment sales increased
$656,000 due to the delivery of two coating systems in the current year,
compared with one small system in the prior year, and increased spare parts
sales.  Royalties and commissions increased $70,000 due to commissions on
sales of equipment by a Japanese licensee.

     Income from continuing operations before income taxes was $770,000 and
$1.0 million, respectively, for the three months and six months ended March
31, 1997, compared with $157,000 and $205,000 in the comparable periods of the
prior year.  Income from operations for the six months ended March 31, 1997
increased $546,000 over the prior year, due to increased gross profits from
the higher revenues, offset in part by costs from having opened a coating
service center in Columbus, Ohio in July 1996.  This latter factor, together
with relatively higher equipment sales, accounted for a decline in gross
margin percentages.  Depreciation expense increased from the prior year which
reflects the recent increased levels of capital spending.  Selling, general,
and administrative expenses have decreased from the prior year, as the final
effects of Multi-Arc's field sales force and sales management augmentation
were more than offset by savings from having ceased the Company's New York
office operations.

     Interest expense for the three months and six months ended March 31,
1997 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 increased $198,000 during the six months ended March 31, 1997 as
cash provided by operating activities of $1.5 million and cash provided by
financing activities of $1.5 million were offset by cash used by investing
activities of $2.8 million.

     Cash flow provided by operating activities of $1,477,000 compared with
cash provided of $998,000 in the comparable period of the prior year.  The
increase was principally due to higher income from continuing operations
offset in part by increased receivables related directly to machine deliveries
in March 1997.  Increased levels of accounts payable financed growth in
inventory which is also due to a higher level of activity in the Equipment
Division.  The Company's operating results continue to reflect a very high
level of depreciation expense. 
     Cash provided by financing activities includes additional borrowings of
$1.6 million from Multi-Arc's revolving credit facility and $550,000 from an
equipment line of credit, each with First Union National Bank, principally to
finance capital expenditures, offset by scheduled repayments of $670,000 of
long term debt, also to First Union.

     Cash used by investing activities includes $2.5 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.

     The Company believes that current financial resources, including the
available borrowing capacity under its various loan agreements, will be
adequate to meet cash requirements for capital spending and debt repayments in
the near term.  The Company plans to continue to use its revolving credit
arrangement to finance interim working capital needs.  Also, see Note 2 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere herein, as to
the Company's negotiations for the sale of Multi-Arc Inc.

     NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which is required to be adopted in
the Company's first quarter in fiscal 1998.  At that time, the Company will be
required to change the method currently used to compute earnings per share and
to restate all prior periods.  The impact of Statement No. 128 on the
calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share is not expected to
be material.<PAGE>
