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, 1997.  
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and 
its subsidiaries, all of which subsidiaries are inactive and insignificant.  On 
September 30, 1997, the Company closed on the sale of its only operating 
business, Multi-Arc Inc. ("Multi-Arc"); and, thereafter, its operations consist 
of the maintenance of a corporate executive and administrative office.  
Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements for fiscal 1997 have been 
reclassified to show the accounts of Multi-Arc as a discontinued operation.

     As a result of the sale of Multi-Arc, the Company received net proceeds of 
approximately $17.8 million of cash and may be entitled to receive additional 
cash from two escrow funds which were established at the time of closing.  In 
March 1998, the Company received $51,000 upon final settlement of the Expense
Escrow and a partial distribution of $455,000 from the Tax Escrow as a result of
the final settlement of certain tax obligations.  The directors of the Company 
are currently considering whether the Company should be liquidated, function as 
an investment company, or seek to enter some other business activity.  A 
decision on the future direction of the Company is expected to be made during 
fiscal 1998.

(2)  During the current fiscal year, the Company purchased 15,581 shares of its 
common stock at $25 per share.  An additional 107,370 shares were purchased at 
$33 plus .8125 shares of the Integrated Brands, Inc. ("Integrated") common stock
owned by the Company for each share of Company stock purchased.  Integrated
subsequently merged into Yogen Fruz World-Wide Inc. ("Yogen Fruz").  In 
addition, options for 2,300 shares exercisable at $2.25 per share of the 
Company's common stock were exercised by former officers of the Company.

     In April 1998, the Company purchased an additional 40,488 shares of its 
common stock at $33 plus .4754 shares of the Yogen Fruz common stock owned by 
the Company for each share of Company stock purchased.  The Company now holds 
136,078 shares, or less than 1%, of the common stock of Yogen Fruz.

(3)  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, 1997, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards 
("NOL's") for federal income tax purposes of approximately $13.3 million which 
expire in varying amounts through 2010.  As part of the sales agreement for 
stock of Multi-Arc, the Company and the acquirer may elect to treat such stock 
sale as a sale of Multi-Arc assets, pursuant to Section 338(h)(10) of the 
Internal Revenue Code.  If such election were to be made, the acquirers have 
agreed to indemnify Andal for any federal or state income taxes due in excess of
$170,000.  The Company's federal net operating loss carry forward would be
reduced to approximately $4.6 million in the event of such election.

(4)  Primary income (loss) per common share for all periods was computed based 
on the average number of shares outstanding during each of the respective 
periods.  No diluted per share amounts are shown for any period as the effects 
would not be material.

(5)  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

     General and administrative expense for the three months and six months 
ended March 31, 1998 was $211,000 and $484,000 compared with $107,000 and 
$200,000 in the comparable periods of the prior year.  The increase in expense 
is accounted for by the increased executive, personnel, and office costs 
resulting from the sale of Multi-Arc and the relocation of the Company's
executive office to New York City.  Interest income for the six months ended 
March 31, 1998 was $406,000 compared with interest expense of $83,000 in the 
prior year.  The increase in interest income is attributable to the interest 
earned on the funds received from the sale of Multi-Arc.

     Income from discontinued operations of $730,000 in the current six-month 
period resulted principally from the settlement of liabilities and the receipt 
of funds upon final settlement of the Expense Escrow account relating to the 
sale of Multi-Arc.  The current period also includes $185,000 from the sale of 
the Company's interest in certain real estate projects which had been carried at
nil value for several years.  The prior period income from discontinued 
operations was attributable to the Company's equity in the earnings of Multi-Arc
for that period.

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     During the six months ended March 31, 1998, cash decreased $5.1 million to 
$12.7 million.

     Cash used by operating activities amounted to $1.2 million compared with 
$4,000 provided by operating activities in the prior comparable period.  In the 
current period, the Company reduced accounts payable and accrued liabilities by 
$1.3 million, principally due to settlement of certain tax obligations for
$981,000, including accrued interest.  Cash provided by discontinued operations 
reflects $455,000 drawn from the Tax Escrow and $51,000 in final settlement of 
the Expense Escrow related to the sale of Multi-Arc (see Note 1), and $185,000 
from the sale of the Company's interest in certain real estate projects.  In the
prior period, Multi-Arc advanced to the Company substantially all of the 
Company's operating cash requirements.

     During the current period, the Company purchased 15,581 shares of its 
common stock at $25 per share.  An additional 108,621 shares were purchased at 
$33 per share plus .8125 shares of the Integrated Brands, Inc. ("Integrated") 
common stock owned by the Company for each share of Company stock purchased. 
Integrated subsequently merged into Yogen Fruz World-Wide Inc.  In addition, 
options for 2,300 shares exercisable at $2.25 per share of the Company's common 
stock were exercised by former officers of the Company.

     The Company believes that income from its cash and investments will be 
sufficient to fund its operating cash needs for the foreseeable future.  The 
Company has no indebtedness.
