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 has entered into an Agreement with a subsidiary of Saurer 
AG, a Swiss company, for the purchase of the Company's principal operating 
subsidiary, Multi-Arc Inc.  The purchase price for all of the outstanding 
shares of Multi-Arc is $29.2 million in cash.  On a fully diluted basis, 
Andal owns approximately 82% of Multi-Arc.  Portions of the purchase price 
will be used to pay the sellers' expenses for this transaction, as well as to
establish escrows required under the Agreement.  The closing of the 
transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including reaching an 
acceptable agreement with Multi-Arc's principal financial lender.  This 
transaction will be submitted to shareholders of Andal Corp. for their 
approval.  Shareholders holding a sufficient number of shares to approve the 
transaction have already agreed to vote their shares in favor of such approval.

(3)  On July 31, 1997, Multi-Arc redeemed the 5 1/2% convertible subordinated
debentures due September 15, 1997.  Funding for this redemption was provided 
by a time loan received from First Union National Bank.  This time loan is 
repayable in full on the earlier of October 30, 1997 or the date of the 
consummation of the acquisition of Multi-Arc Inc. by Saurer AG.  The time loan
bears interest at the prime rate plus 1/4 of 1%.

(4)  Inventories are summarized as follows:

                                        June 30,       September 30,
                                          1997              1996

                                        ------             ------
                                        $2,068             $1,553
                                        ======             ======

(5)  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.

(6)  Income 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.

(7)  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 $9.1 million and $26.2 million, 
respectively, for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 1997 were 
$1.2 million and $3.0 million, or 15% and 13% higher than the revenue for the
comparable periods of the prior year.  Revenues from the Company's coating 
services business rose $1.6 million, or 7% in the nine 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 $1.4 million due to the delivery of three coating systems in the 
current year, compared with one small system in the prior year, and increased
spare parts sales.

     Income from continuing operations before income taxes was $416,000 and 
$1.4 million, respectively, for the three months and nine months ended June 
30, 1997, compared with $203,000 and $408,000 in the comparable periods of 
the prior year.  Income from operations for the nine months ended June 30, 
1997 increased $614,000 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 in the current year, account for lower
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 increased slightly from the prior 
year, as the final effects of Multi-Arc's field sales force and sales 
management augmentation were substantially offset by savings from having 
ceased the Company's New York office operations.

     Interest expense for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 
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 $126,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 1997 as 
cash provided by operating activities of $2.1 million and cash provided by 
financing activities of $2.2 million were offset by cash used by investing 
activities of $4.2 million.

     Cash flow provided by operating activities of $2,105,000 compared with 
cash provided of $1,647,000 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 June 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 
$2.0 million from Multi-Arc's revolving credit facility and $1.2 million from
an equipment line of credit, each with First Union National Bank, principally
to finance capital expenditures, offset by scheduled repayments of $1.0 
million of long term debt, also to First Union.

     Cash used by investing activities includes $3.9 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.

     On July 31, 1997, Multi-Arc redeemed the 5 1/2% convertible subordinated
debentures due September 15, 1997.  Funding for this redemption was provided 
by a time loan received from First Union National Bank.  This time loan is 
repayable in full on the earlier of October 30, 1997 or the date of the 
consummation of the acquisition of Multi-Arc Inc. by Saurer AG.  The time loan
bears interest at the prime rate plus 1/4 of 1%.

     The Company believes that current financial resources, including the 
available borrowing capacity under Multi-Arc's various loan agreements, will 
be adequate to meet cash requirements for capital spending and debt 
repayments in the near term.  Multi-Arc 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.

                 ANDAL ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT
              FOR SALE OF MULTI-ARC BUSINESS
              ------------------------------

     ROCKAWAY, NJ, June 11, 1997--ANDAL CORP. (OTC-ADLN) announced today that 
the Company has entered into an Agreement with a subsidiary of Saurer AG, a 
Swiss company, for the purchase of Andal's principal operating subsidiary, 
Multi-Arc Inc.  The purchase price for all of the outstanding shares of Multi-
Arc is $29.2 million in cash.  On a fully diluted basis, Andal owns 
approximately 82% of Multi-Arc.  Portions of the purchase price will be used 
to pay the seller's expenses for this transaction, as well as to establish 
escrows required under the Agreement.  The closing of the transaction is 
subject to a number of conditions, including compliance with the Hart-Scott-
Rodino Act and reaching an acceptable agreement with Multi-Arc's principal
financial lender.  This transaction will be submitted to shareholders of Andal
Corp. for their approval.  Shareholders holding a substantial number of shares
have already agreed to vote their shares in favor of such approval.

     Peter D. Flood, Chairman and CEO of Andal Corp., noted that this 
transaction had been negotiated by a special committee of the Board of 
Directors and that neither he nor Walter N. Kreil, Jr., a Director and the 
Company's Chief Financial Officer, were a member of this committee.  Should
this transaction be consummated, Mr. Flood and Mr. Kreil will continue to hold
their positions as officers of Multi-Arc and will resign all of their positions
with Andal and its other subsidiaries.

     Multi-Arc Inc. is engaged in surface enhancement as a leading provider of
thin film metal coating services and systems.  It operates eight coating 
service centers in the United States, one in Canada, and one in the United
Kingdom for the deposition of thin film coatings on various surfaces, including
titanium nitride on cutting tools to enhance their hardness, wear and corrosion
resistance, lubricity, and appearance.  It also licenses its technology 
throughout the world, principally through the ION BOND Network.

     Andal is a reporting company under the Securities and Exchange Act of 
1934, but its stock is not traded on any exchange and has not been traded in 
the over-the-counter market since the summer of 1995.
