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 1996 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 three escrow funds which were established at the time of closing.  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)  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 carryforwards 
("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 carryforward would be 
reduced to approximately $4.6 million in the event of such election.

(3)  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.

(4)  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 ended December 31, 
1997 was $273,000 compared with $93,000 in the comparable period 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 three months ended December 31, 1997 was $225,000 compared with interest
expense of $25,000 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 $72,000 in the current period 
resulted from the settlement of liabilities relating to the sale of Multi-Arc.  
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

     Cash used by operating activities amounted to $383,000 compared with 
$10,000 in the prior comparable period.  In such prior period, Multi-Arc 
advanced to the Company substantially all of the Company's operating cash 
requirements.

     During the current period, the Company purchased 15,330 shares of its 
common stock at $25 per share.  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.
