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 required 
to manage open issues, such as the Multi-Arc escrows, taxes, pending claims, and
lawsuits, etc. 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.

(2)   On July 15, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement of merger with 
Cafco Holding Corporation ("Cafco"), a company organized by Andal's principal 
shareholders (who are also its executive officers) and their affiliates.  Upon 
completion of the merger, each Andal shareholder, other than Cafco, will receive
$37 in cash for each common share; and the Cafco shareholders will become sole 
shareholders of Andal.  Since Cafco, which owns 75.3% of such stock, has agreed 
to vote in favor of the merger, approval by the requisite two-thirds vote of 
outstanding common stock is assured.

(3)   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 recorded a 
gain of $153,000 on the disposal of Yogen Fruz stock related to this 
transaction.  The Company then held 136,078 shares, or less than 1%, of the 
common stock of Yogen Fruz.

(4)   In May 1998, the Company sold its remaining 136,078 shares of Yogen Fruz 
for $1,247,000 in cash and recorded a gain of $1,083,000.

(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, 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 have elected to treat such
stock sale as a sale of Multi-Arc assets, pursuant to Section 338(h)(10) of the 
Internal Revenue Code.  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 will be reduced to approximately $4.6 million
as the result of such election.

(6)   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.

(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

     General and administrative expense for the three months and nine months 
ended June 30, 1998 were $260,000 and $744,000 compared with $89,000 and 
$289,000 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 nine months ended 
June 30, 1998 was $555,000 compared with interest expense of $124,000 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.  In April and May 1998,
the Company disposed of its remaining investment in Yogen Fruz common stock and 
recorded an aggregate gain of $1,236,000 (see Notes 3 and 4).

     Income from discontinued operations of $730,000 in the current nine-month 
period resulted principally from the settlement of liabilities and the receipt 
of $455,000 drawn from the Tax Escrow and $51,000 in final settlement of the 
Expense Escrow account relating to the sale of Multi-Arc (see Note 1).  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 nine months ended June 30, 1998, cash decreased $5.6 million to
$12.3 million.

     Cash used by operating activities amounted to $1.6 million compared with 
$9,000 used by operating activities in the prior comparable period.  In the 
current period, the Company reduced accounts payable and accrued liabilities by 
$1.4 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 nine months ended June 30, 1998, investing activities used $4.0 
million of cash, as the Company used $5.3 million for purchases of treasury 
stock.  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 Ind. ("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.  In May 1998, the Company 
sold its remaining investment in Yogen Fruz common stock for $1.2 million in 
cash.

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

PART II.OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 5.OTHER INFORMATION

     On July 15, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement of merger with 
Cafco Holding Corporation ("Cafco"), a company organized by Andal's principal 
shareholders (who are also its executive officers) and their affiliates.  Upon 
completion of the merger, each Andal shareholder, other than Cafco, will receive
$37 in cash for each common share; and the Cafco shareholders will become sole
shareholders of Andal.  Since Cafco, which owns 75.3% of such stock, has agreed
to vote in favor of the merger, approval by the requisite two-thirds vote of 
outstanding common stock is assured.

                  AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

and Cafco Holding Corporation, a New York corporation ("Cafco"), Andal and Cafco
being sometimes collectively referred to as the "Constituent Corporations."

the "Surviving Corporation."

                      W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, Cafco has authorized capital stock consisting of 250,000 shares of
common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Cafco Common Stock"), of which 215,529 
shares are outstanding; and 

     WHEREAS, 215,529 shares of Andal Common Stock are owned by Cafco; and

     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of each of the Constituent Corporations 
deems it advisable and to the advantage and welfare of their respective 
Constituent Corporations and their shareholders that Cafco merge with and into 
Andal, with Andal to be the Surviving Corporation, pursuant to the provisions of
Section 901 of the Business Corporation Law of the State of New York (the 
"NYBCL");

     NOW, THEREFORE, subject to the approval of this Plan of Merger by the 
shareholders of each of the Constituent Corporations, the Constituent 
Corporations hereby agree as follows:

1.   The names of the Constituent Corporations are Andal Corporation, which was 
     formed under the name National Cleaning Contractors, Inc., and Cafco 
     Holding Corporation.

2.   (a)  Andal has authorized capital stock consisting of (i) 1,500,000 shares 
of Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, none of which are 
issued or outstanding, ii) 5,000,000 shares of Serial Preferred Stock, par value
$1.00 per share, none of which are issued or outstanding and (iii) 1,500,000 
shares of Andal Common Stock, of which 286,094 shares are issued and outstanding
and none of which are held as treasury shares.

     (b)  Cafco has authorized capital stock consisting of 250,000 shares of 
Cafco Common Stock, of which 215,529 shares are outstanding; and
     
3.   At the Effective Time, as hereinafter defined, Cafco will be merged with 
and into Andal (the "Merger").

4.   This Plan of Merger constitutes a plan of merger pursuant to Section 902 of
the NYBCL, to be carried out in the manner, on the terms and subject to the 
conditions herein set forth.

5.   The Merger will become effective immediately upon filing with the Secretary
of State of the State of New York following approval by the shareholders of each
of the Constituent Corporations of this Plan of Merger or a plan of merger which
sets forth the terms of the Merger as set forth in this Plan of Merger and such 
other matters as may be provided by Section 902 of the NYBCL.  Such date and 
time is herein referred to as the "Effective Time."

6.   Cafco agrees to vote its shares of Andal Common Stock in favor of the Plan 
of Merger.

7.   At the Effective Time, the separate existence of Cafco will cease, and 
Andal, as the Surviving Corporation, will continue to exist under and be 
governed by the laws of the State of New York.  The name of the Surviving 
Corporation will remain Andal Corp.

8.   At and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will succeed to 
and possess, without further act or deed, all of the estate, rights, privileges,
powers, and franchises, both public and private, and all of the property, real, 
personal and mixed, of the Constituent Corporations; all debts due either of the
Constituent Corporations will be vested in the Surviving Corporation; all 
claims, demands, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises and every 
other interest of either of the Constituent Corporations will be the property of
the Surviving Corporation; the title to any real property of either of the 
Constituent Corporations will not revert or be in any way impaired by reason of 
the Merger, but will be vested in the Surviving Corporation; all rights of 
creditors and all liens upon any property of either of the Constituent 
Corporations will be preserved unimpaired, limited in lien to the property 
affected by such lien at the Effective Time; and all debts, liabilities and
duties of the Constituent Corporations will thenceforth attach to the Surviving 
Corporation and may be enforced against it to the same extent as if such debts, 
liabilities and duties had been incurred or contracted by the Surviving 
Corporation.

9.   At the Effective Time:

     (a)  Each outstanding share of Andal Common Stock, other than shares owned 
by Cafco and any shares owned by shareholders exercising their appraisal rights,
shall, by operation of law and without further action on the part of the former 
holders, automatically be converted into and become the right to receive thirty 
seven dollars ($37.00).  Holders of shares exercising their dissenters' rights 
shall have the rights provided for in Sections 910 and 623 of the NYBCL.

     (b)  Each outstanding share of Cafco Common Stock shall, by operation of 
law and without further action on the part of the former holders, automatically 
be converted into and become the right to receive one fully paid and 
non-assessable share of Andal Common Stock. 

10.  Each option to purchase one share of Andal Common Stock shall, with the 
consent of the holder thereof, become the right to receive per share the amount 
by which thirty seven dollars ($37.00) exceeds the exercise price thereof.

11.  The certificate of incorporation of Andal as existing at the Effective Time
shall not be modified or amended by the Merger.

12.  The By-laws of Andal, as existing at the Effective Time, will continue in 
force as the By-laws of the Surviving Corporation until altered, amended or 
repealed as provided therein or as provided by law.

13.  The directors and officers of Andal immediately prior to the Merger, will 
be the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation, to hold office until
their respective successors have been elected and shall qualify, or as otherwise
provided in the By-Laws of the Surviving Corporation. 

14.  This Plan of Merger may be terminated and the Merger abandoned for any 
reason whatsoever, by mutual consent of the Boards of Directors of the 
Constituent Corporations, at any time prior to the Effective Time, 
notwithstanding adoption and approval of this Plan of Merger by the shareholders
of the Constituent Corporations.

15.  This Plan of Merger may be amended at any time prior to the Effective Time 
by mutual consent of the Boards of Directors of the Constituent Corporations; 
provided, however, that no such amendment shall adversely affect the rights of 
the shareholders of Andal or Cafco subsequent to the adoption and approval of 
this Plan of Merger by the shareholders of Andal or Cafco, as the case may be.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the foregoing Plan of Merger, which was duly adopted by
the Board of Directors of each of the Constituent Corporations, has been 
executed by the chairman of the board and secretary or assistant secretary of 
each of the Constituent Corporations on and as of the date first set forth 
above.
