Item 1. Business

     Background

     Berger Holdings, Ltd. (the "Company") was incorporated in the 
Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania on August 28, 1979.  Prior to 1983, the Company operated under 
the name "Life Care
Communities Corporation" as a private concern which developed life care 
communities on a fee basis
for non-profit entities.  During 1983, the Company successfully completed a 
public offering in which
funds were raised, principally for the purpose of developing and constructing 
proprietary life care
facilities.

     During 1987, the Company conducted an assessment of its business and the 
life care industry,
in general.  As a result of such assessment, the management of the Company 
recommended, and on
May 5, 1988 the shareholders approved, the Company's withdrawal from the life 
care industry in
order to seek alternate investment opportunities.  This withdrawal was 
effectuated through the sale
of the Company's minority interests in certain joint ventures.  Such sales 
left the Company with assets
consisting solely of cash and minimal liabilities.

     The Company identified Berger Bros Company ("Berger") as a favorable 
candidate and on
May 30, 1989 acquired approximately 85% of its common stock through a plan of 
reorganization (the
"1989 Plan of Reorganization") in exchange for shares of the Company's common 
stock (the
"Common Stock") representing approximately 29% of its outstanding Common 
Stock after the
effective date of the 1989 Plan of Reorganization.  During 1989, the Company 
acquired an additional
15% of the common stock of Berger and issued, in exchange therefor, shares of 
its Common Stock
representing approximately 5% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock at 
the time of
acquisition, and changed its name to Inovex Industries, Inc.

     In 1990 the Company changed its name to Berger Holdings, Ltd. to identify 
the Company
more closely with its principal operating subsidiary.

     On December 6, 1991, the Company filed a petition for reorganization 
under Chapter 11 (the
"Petition") of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Code") in the United 
States Bankruptcy
Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (the "Bankruptcy Court").

     On December 29, 1992, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming 
the Third
Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization subject to approval of a settlement 
agreement (the "Settlement
Agreement") between the Company and its primary secured lender, Meridian.  The 
Settlement
Agreement was entered into on February 19, 1993 and approved by the Bankruptcy 
Court on April 1,
1993.  The effective date of the Plan of Reorganization was April 13, 1993.  
The Chapter 11 case was
closed February 28, 1994.  

     Certain unsecured creditors of the Company elected to convert their debt 
into shares of the
Company's Common Stock (the "Common Stock").  An aggregate total of 390,540 
shares of
Common Stock were issued to such creditors.  In addition, holders of the 
common stock of
Graywood Products Company, Inc. ("Graywood") and holders of the Company's then 
outstanding
Preferred Stock,  converted such stock into  shares of the Company's Common 
Stock.

     In June 1994, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Berger 
Financial Corp.
("Berger Financial") and concurrently merged its two existing wholly owned 
subsidiaries, Berger and
Graywood, with Berger being the surviving entity.  The Company contributed all 
of the issued and
outstanding shares of common stock of Berger to Berger Financial and in 
exchange, Berger Financial
assumed the Company's obligation to Meridian under the Settlement Agreement.
Berger Financial
does not conduct any active operations other than acting as a holding company 
for its operating
subsidiary, Berger.

     The Company reached an agreement with Meridian pursuant to which Meridian 
agreed to
accept the sum of $2,241,000 in full payment of the Company's obligation under 
the Settlement
Agreement, the principal amount of which was $3,333,462 as of June 30, 1994.

     On June 30, 1994, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement 
(the "Loan
Agreement") with The CIT Group/Credit Finance, Inc. ("CIT"), pursuant to which 
CIT agreed to
make revolving loans (the "Revolving Loan") to the Company up to a maximum 
amount of $3.5
million (the "Maximum Credit") including a term loan in the amount of $740,000 
(the "Term Loan"). 
The Revolving Loan and the Term Loan are sometimes hereinafter referred to as 
the "CIT Financing
Arrangement."

     As of December 31, 1995, the Company has borrowed $2,011,000 under the 
Revolving Loan. 
The proceeds of the Term Loan were utilized by the Company for working 
capital.

     The Revolving Loan is for an initial term of two years (the "Initial 
Term"), is automatically
renewable for successive two year terms (the "Renewal Term"), unless otherwise 
terminated, and
bears an annual interest rate equal to Chemical Bank's Prime Rate ("Prime") 
plus 3.50%.  Such
interest is payable monthly.  The amount the Company may borrow under the 
Revolving Loan is
limited to 80% of its Eligible Accounts (as defined in the Loan Agreement ) 
plus certain specified
percentages of the value of its inventories of finished goods and raw 
materials.  In the event that the
Company does not have borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Loan in a 
minimum amount of
$3.0 million (the "Minimum Borrowing"), it is required to pay a fee equal to 
the interest which would
otherwise have been due on the difference between actual borrowings and the 
Minimum Borrowing. 
In addition to such monthly interest payments and the fee described above, the 
Company is obligated
to pay to CIT (i) a fee equal to one-half percent of any unused portion of the 
Maximum Credit and
(ii) for each Renewal Term, a fee of two percent of the Maximum Credit payable 
in two equal
installments on each anniversary of such renewal.  In lieu of payment, all 
such fees may be added to
the outstanding Revolving Loan.  The Revolving Loan is terminable (i) by 
either party within 60 days
written notice at the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term or (ii) by 
the Company with 30
days written notice that it intends to pay all obligations to CIT in full.  In
the event that the Company
exercises its right to terminate upon 30 days notice, it must pay CIT an early
termination fee equal
to three percent of the Maximum Credit  if such termination takes place in the 
first year of the Initial
Term and one and a half percent if such early termination occurs in the second 
year of the Initial Term
or during any Renewal Term.

     As security for the Revolving Loan, the Company granted CIT a lien on 
and security interest
in all of its tangible and intangible property including, but not limited to, 
the Company's inventory and
equipment and fixtures.  In addition, the Company has granted CIT a second 
mortgage on its real
property.

     In the event of the occurrence of an event of default ("Event of 
Default"), all obligations under
the Revolving Loan are immediately due and payable.  Events of Default 
include, but are not limited
to:

          (a)  Failure to pay any obligation under the Revolving Loan as and 
          when due;

          (b)  Any change in the chief executive officer, chief operating 
          officer or chief
financial officer, unless such change is satisfactory to CIT; and

          (c)  Any change in the controlling ownership of the Company.

     The Term Loan bears a floating interest rate equal to Prime plus 3.50% 
     and requires the
Company to pay equal consecutive monthly installments of $12,619,06 beginning 
on August 1, 1994,
with a final payment of all unpaid principal and accrued interest on the date 
of termination of the Loan
Agreement, June 30, 1996.  As security for the Term Loan, the Company granted 
CIT a first lien on
and a security interest in all of its tangible and intangible property 
including, but not limited to, the
Company's inventory, equipment and fixtures. (see Management's Discussion 
and Analysis)   


     Product Lines

     The Company is principally engaged in the manufacture and distribution 
     of roof drainage
products ("RDP") and solid vinyl home siding ("SVHS") products.  Since 1993, 
the Company has
also engaged in a program of internal development and product expansion.  
Internal development has
been characterized chiefly by the modernization and modification of 
production facilities, machinery
and equipment and the expansion of existing product lines to emphasize 
aluminum-based RDP.  In
early 1996, the Company upgraded to a Unix computer operating system, which 
will allow for faster
order processing and advanced programming.  External development has been 
directed principally
towards increasing the sales volume and market penetration of the Company's 
products through an
expanded product line. 

     The Company's RDP product line, consisting of gutters, downspouts, trim 
     coil and associated
accessories and fittings, is manufactured by the Company at its Feasterville 
Facility.  The Company
sells RDP through its sales representatives and telemarketing principally to 
wholesale distributors who
sell directly to roofers and general contractors for use in the repair 
and replacement of roof drainage
systems in existing buildings, primarily residential.

     The raw materials used in manufacturing RDP are aluminum, steel and 
     copper.  Supplies of
such materials, in coil, sheet or bar form, are procured by the Company from 
various domestic and
foreign suppliers on an as-needed basis.  Although the Company believes 
that adequate available
sources of supply exist at customarily accepted market prices, trade 
restrictions, work stoppages or
adverse weather or political conditions may affect the prices and 
availability of such materials.  Rapid
increases in prices of raw materials will adversely affect the operations of 
the Company in as much as
the cost of such raw materials constitutes the Company's largest single 
element of its cost of sales.

     The Company is largely dependent for its raw material requirements for 
     its RDP products on
the following three suppliers: Barmet (aluminum); Revere (copper); and 
Coilplus-Pennsylvania, Inc.
(galvanized and painted steel). The remaining raw materials are provided by 
a large number of small
suppliers.  All raw materials procured by the Company, as well as finished
products, are strictly
scrutinized for quality control using industry and internal guidelines
and standards.

     The Company's SVHS product line is produced under the Graywood name
and consist of
solid vinyl home siding and associated accessories.  Such products are
manufactured in the
Feasterville Facility.  Sales of SVHS products are made to wholesale
distributors.

     The Company's SVHS products are fabricated from a compound (the
"Compound")
consisting of polyvinylchloride ("PVC") and coloring agents.  The Compound
is prepared by several
subcontractors according to specifications provided by Graywood.  Most of the
component materials
used to formulate the Compound are widely available.  However, PVC  is
produced by relatively few
manufacturers and work stoppages, trade restrictions, and other factors may
affect the availability and
prices of PVC.  For the last three years, the Company has purchased all of
its PVC requirements from
Occidental Chemical Corporation.  The Company imposes quality control tests
on all materials
procured for use in fabrication as well as finished products.

     The following table shows certain information relating to the product
lines of Berger for the
periods indicated:

Competition

     The Company's business is highly competitive.  In general, the building
products market is
highly fragmented.  The Company competes with numerous small and large
manufacturers and
fabricators.  Some competitors are divisions or subsidiaries of major
corporations with substantially
greater resources than the Company.  The Company competes primarily in the
Northeast/Mid-
Atlantic region of the country and management believes it competes by
providing quality products
and service at competitive prices. 

Geographic Market

     The Company's products are principally sold throughout the states east of
the Mississippi
River with sales concentrated in the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic region. Since
approximately 85% of
Berger's products are used in the renovation of existing houses, the
Northeast/Mid-Atlantic region
is particularly important with respect to the sale of RDP, because a large
concentration of older
houses are located within this region.

Major Customers

     No one customer accounts for more than 10% of the Company's sales.
Several customers,
however, account individually for approximately 6% of sales.  The Company
has no ongoing
contracts for sales of RDP or SVHS, but rather services customers on a
per-order basis.

Seasonal Nature of the Business

     The building products industry is seasonal, particularly in the
Northeast region of the United
States where inclement weather during the winter months usually reduces the
level of building activity
in both the homebuilding and home improvement markets. Typically, the
Company's sales volume is
lowest during December, January and February.  

Inventory Practices

     The Company's ordinary policy is to obtain, fabricate and/or manufacture
inventory in
sufficient volume so as to provide it with a reasonable cushion in the event
of unexpected fluctuations
in demand.  Because of the nature of the RDP and SVHS markets, in which an
order generally must
be filled within 48 to 72 hours of placement, the Company does not have any
substantial backlog. 
Management reduced certain inventory items in 1994 to improve turnover and
better react to changes
in sales mixture.

Employees

     As of December 31, 1995, the Company and its subsidiaries employed
approximately 75
individuals, of whom 10 were employed in sales and marketing; 56 were
employed in manufacturing
and delivery; and 9 were employed in administration.  Approximately 47 of the
employees of Berger
are represented by one of two labor unions.  Berger's labor contract with
The International
Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Helpers of America,
Local 169 expires
November 15, 1997.  Berger also has a contract with the Teamsters Local Union
107, which expires
March 31, 1998.  The Company and its subsidiaries believe that their employee
relations are good.

Government Regulation

     The Company is subject to numerous federal and state regulations
relating to, among other
things, the operations of a manufacturing facility, the storage and disposal
of environmentally
sensitive materials, the control of emission levels, employee safety and
health, employee wages and
general environmental matters.  The Company believes that such regulations
are complied with on
a consistent basis, and does not have any outstanding notices from any
federal or state regulatory
body or agency indicating a failure to comply with any such regulations.


Item 2. Properties

     Berger currently occupies the Company owned Feasterville Facility, a one
hundred and five
thousand square foot manufacturing and office facility, located in
Feasterville, PA.  The Company's
corporate and sales office occupy space at the same location.  The Company
also leases
approximately twenty thousand square feet of warehouse space on the same
block as the Feasterville
Facility.

     The Company has a mortgage on the Feasterville Facility.  The principal
amount of the
mortgage debt on the Feasterville Facility was approximately $1,697,000 at
December 31, 1995. 
Such amount is being paid in monthly payments of approximately $17,400 with a
maturity date of
May 2016.  The mortgage lender retains the right to declare the entire
balance outstanding due at any
time after April 23, 2001, upon 60 days prior notice.  

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

     As of the date hereof, the Company is not aware of any legal actions
or proceedings presently
pending against the Company or its subsidiaries.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

     Not applicable.

    Fourth Quarter                1 3/8             3/4


     On December 31, 1995, there were approximately 500 holders of record of
shares of
Common Stock; however, management believes, based upon the number of annual
reports and
proxy statements requested by nominee holders of the Company's Common Stock,
that the
number of beneficial holders exceeds 1,100.

Dividend Policy

     The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock to date,
and does not
anticipate or contemplate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

Results of Operations

     The Company's results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1993
represents the
consolidated operations of the Company and its two then operating
subsidiaries, Berger and
Graywood.  The Company's results of operations for the year ended December
31, 1994 and 1995
represent the consolidated operations of the Company  its subsidiary, Berger
Financial and Berger
Financial's operating subsidiary, Berger.  

     Net sales decreased to $15,653,000 in 1995 from $16,596,000 in 1994 and
increased from
$11,939,000 in 1993.   The mild winter of 1994/95 and an unusually dry spring
and summer in the
Company's core market during 1995 created most of the decline in sales
from 1994 to 1995.   

     The Company's gross profit, as a percentage of revenue, equalled 12.2%
in 1995, as
compared with 13.1% in 1994 and 12.1% in 1993.  The Company's gross profit is
directly tied to
an increase or decrease in its net sales.  In 1995, the Company experienced
relatively even raw
material prices, but was unable to put through any significant price
increases to offset increases in
the costs of  direct labor and associated benefits.  Even though sales
increased dramatically in
1994, the Company's  inability to immediately pass on higher raw material
costs to its customers
in the form of price increases was due to competitive market pressures.

     Selling, administrative and general expenses, as a percentage of net
sales, increased to
14.2% in 1995 from 12.8% in 1994 and 13.7% in 1993.  In 1995, the
percentage increased
primarily due to increases in advertising and marketing programs.  

     The loss from operations was $310,000 in 1995 as compared to income
from operations
of  $62,000 in 1994 (net of $205,000 of non-cash consulting costs) and a loss
from operations of
$187,000 (net of 20,000 of non-cash consulting costs) in 1993.  The loss in
1995 was primarily
caused by a decrease in sales coupled with and increase in sales and
marketing efforts, as well as
increased administrative costs.

     Interest expense increased to approximately $570,000 in 1995 up from
$521,000 in 1994
and $481,000 in 1993.  Although the Company was able to reduce the
outstanding principal
amount of its debt through the CIT Financing Arrangement, the rate of
interest charged in 1995
and 1994 was significantly higher than that charged in 1993.

     Due to the factors described above, the loss before reorganization and
extraordinary items
increased to $850,000 in 1995 from $461,000 (net of $205,000 in non-cash
consulting costs) in
1994 and $667,000 (net of $20,000 in non-cash consulting costs) in 1993.

     The net loss was $850,000 in 1995 as compared to net income of $488,000
in 1994 and
$373,000 in 1993.  An extraordinary gain of approximately $948,000 in 1994,
and $1,151,000 in
1993 exceeded reorganization expenses of $0 in 1994, and $110,000 in 1993.
Since 1992
approximately $2,558,000 of pre-Petition accounts payable, miscellaneous
notes and bank fees
were exchanged for 390,540 shares of Common Stock of the Company. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     After emergence from bankruptcy in April, 1993, the Company operated
from its own
cash flow in addition to securing approximately $400,000 in trade credit and
raising over
$2,000,000 in capital.  Starting in June, 1994 through December 31, 1995,
the Company's
principal sources of operating capital have been cash flow from operations
and the Revolving
Loan and Term Loan provided  by CIT.

     At December 31, 1995, the working capital of the Company was negative
$470,000
(resulting in a ratio of current assets to current liability of .87 to 1),
compared to $2,104,000
(2.61 to 1) at December 31, 1994.  This change was due primarily to the
reclassification of CIT's
Loan to a current liability in 1995 as compared to a long term liability in
1994.  The Company is
currently negotiating the extension of the CIT Financing Arrangement.  CIT
has indicated to the
Company that any renewal will be on terms no less favorable than the current
terms.  There can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to negotiate an extension of the
CIT Financing
Arrangement on favorable terms or at all.  In the event that the Company is
unable to negotiate an
extension of the CIT Financing Arrangement on favorable terms or at all, the
Company will seek
alternate sources of debt or equity financing.

     At December 31, 1995, current liabilities totalled $3,573,000, primarily
consisting of
$1,496,000 of accounts payable and accrued expenses and $2,077,000 of current
maturities of
long-term debt.

     At December 31, 1995 and 1994, asset based debt under the CIT Financing
Arrangement
totaled $2,011,000 and $2,281,000, respectively.  

     In 1995 the Company was able to raise approximately $240,000 of
additional capital in
addition to securing an aggregate of approximately $1,100,000 in trade
credit as compared with
trade credit of approximately $750,000 in 1994.

     Cash flow provided by operating activities for the year ended December
31, 1995 was
$465,000 as compared to $158,000 used in operating activities for the year
ended December 31,
1994.  The cash provided by operating activities was primarily a result of
increased accounts
payable and accrued expenses, reduced inventory and no discharge of
liabilities during 1995.

     Net cash used by investing activities totalled $227,000 in the year
ended December 31,
1995, primarily as a result of decreased equipment purchases, as compared
to cash used in
investing activities of $717,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994.

     Net cash used in financing activities totalled $146,000 for the year
ended December 31,
1995, as compared to $376,000 provided by financing activities in the year
ended December 31,
1994, such difference was primarily a result of the reduced private
placements in 1995.  The
Company issued an aggregate of 240,000 shares of Common Stock and options
to purchase an
additional 112,500 shares of Common Stock pursuant to such private
placements in 1995.

Independent Auditor's Report


February 28, 1996


Stockholders and Board of Directors
Berger Holdings, Ltd. and Subsidiary
Feasterville, Pennsylvania


  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BERGER
HOLDINGS, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARY as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the related
consolidated
statements of operations, of stockholders' equity, and of cash flows and the
financial statement schedules 
listed under Item 14(a)(2) of the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for
each of the three years in the 
period ended December 31, 1995.  These financial statements and schedules are
the responsibility of the 
Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and 
schedules based on our audits.

   We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether 
the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes
examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes 
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as 
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in 
all material respects, the financial position of BERGER HOLDINGS, LTD.
AND SUBSIDIARY as of 
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations, stockholders'
equity and cash flows for 
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity
with generally accepted 
accounting principles.  The financial statement schedules referred to above
are fairly stated in all material 
respects in relation to the consolidated financial statements taken as a
whole.

BERGER HOLDINGS, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.      BUSINESS ORGANIZATION

Berger Holdings, Ltd. ("Company") was incorporated in the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania on August 28, 1979.

The Company operates in a manufacturing facility in Feasterville,
Pennsylvania.  The Company produces aluminum, galvanized and copper roof
drainage 
products and solid vinyl home siding products.  The roof drainage products
represent over 
90% of the Company revenues, with the balance from the solid vinyl home siding
product
line.  Berger sells to wholesale building product distributors throughout the
United States, 
its territories and Canada, but is specifically concentrated in the Northeast
corridor.

On December 29, 1992, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania confirmed the Company's Plan of Reorganization (the
"Plan").  As 
part of the acceptance of the Plan, the Company reached a settlement agreement
with its
secured lending institution (the "bank"), and an agreement with the Health and
Welfare Fund.



2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

                Principles of Consolidation

The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-
owned subsidiary, Berger Financial Corporation (A Delaware Corporation formed
in 1994)
and Berger Financial's wholly-owned subsidiary, Berger Bros Company.  Graywood 
Products Company, Inc. which was previously included in the consolidation was
merged 
into Berger Bros Company during 1994.  All significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated.

                Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is determined
using the first-in, first-out method.

                Property and Equipment and Depreciation and Amortization

Property and equipment are stated at cost.  For financial reporting purposes,
depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the
assets.  For income tax purposes, depreciation is computed using accelerated
methods.

BERGER HOLDINGS, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


       Property and Equipment and Depreciation and Amortization (continued)

Maintenance and repair costs, which do not improve or extend the life of the
respective assets, are charged to operations as incurred.  Leasehold
improvements are 
amortized over the shorter of the lease term or useful life.

When an asset is sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of, the cost of the
property and the related accumulated depreciation is removed from the
respective accounts and any resulting gains or losses are included in income.


                Goodwill

Goodwill is amortized using the straight-line method over ten years.


                Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings (loss) per common share amounts are based upon the weighted
average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the
year.
In 1995 and 1994 common equivalent shares were excluded from the computation 
because they had an antidilutive effect.


                Management's Judgments and Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets 
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues 
and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from
those estimates.



3.      INVENTORIES

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is determined
using the first-in, first-out method ("FIFO").

7.      LONG-TERM DEBT (continued)

The Company is currently negotiating the refinance or extension of the
working capital term loan, which is set to expire on June 30, 1996.
Discussions with their 
current lender, as well as another potential lender, are in the preliminary
stages.  
Management believes that they will be successful in either refinancing or
extending this 
obligation.  In the event the Company is unable to refinance or extend this
loan, 
management will have to formulate alternative strategies to satisfy this
liability.  Such 
alternative actions include the sale of assets and the raising of funds through
the private placement market.

Scheduled annual maturities of long-term debt as of December 31, 1995 are
as follows:

            Year Ending December 31
                        
        1996               $2,077,171

8.      STOCK OPTIONS (continued)

Additionally, in 1995, the Board approved an incentive stock option plan for
the same officers and outside directors.  Under the terms of this plan, these
options vest
over a three-year period commencing December 31, 1996 as follows:

                  December 31, 1996            230,000

        All of the options in both plans are exercisable at $1.50 per share.

        See Note 12 for summary of options.

In December, 1993, the Company entered into a series of one-year
consulting agreements for services relating to financial public relations.  In
exchange for
these services, the Company granted the consultants an aggregate of 450,000
warrants 
which were exercised in 1994.  These warrants were exercised for 1 share of
common 
stock, per warrant, at the exercise price of $.50 per share.  The Company has
determined 
the value of the services received in exchange for the warrants to be
$225,000.

Additionally, 300,000 warrants were issued and exercised at $1.25 per share
for consulting services in 1994.

In 1993, the Company recorded the issuance of the 450,000 warrants as
follows:

                    Deferred charge                    $225,000
                        
                    Less accumulated amortization       (20,000)
                        
                                                       $205,000
                        
                        
                    Additional paid-in capital         $225,000

9.      INCOME TAXES

Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS No. 109"), "Accounting for Income Taxes",
which 
requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the
expected future tax 
consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or
tax 
returns.  The adoption of SFAS No. 109 did not have a material effect on the
1993 
consolidated financial statements.  The provision (benefit) for deferred income
taxes
results from temporary differences which consist of different tax bases for
assets and 
liabilities than their reported amounts in the financial statements.  Such
differences result 
in recognition of income or expense in different years for tax and financial
statement 
purposes.  The sources of these differences and the tax effect of each as of 
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 were as follows:

                                      1995          1994            1993
                                                                        
Inventory reserves              $    24,000    $    40,000     $    54,400
Net operating loss carryforwards  2,400,000      2,074,000       2,300,000
Depreciation                       (120,000)       (24,000)        (23,800)
                                                                        
    Subtotal                      2,304,000      2,090,000       2,330,600
Valuation allowance              (2,304,000)    (2,090,000)     (2,330,600)
                                                                        
    Total net deferred tax asset
      (liability)               $        -     $        -       $       -

The valuation allowance decreased $214,000 and $240,600 during the years
ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

As of December 31, 1995, the Company had carryforward net operating
losses of approximately $6,949,000, expiring through 2008.  In addition,
investment tax 
credits of approximately $5,000 are available to apply against future income
taxes, if any, and expire in 2000.

No provision for federal or state income taxes was recognized for the years
1993 through 1995.  Certain gains which were recognized as a result of
emergence from 
bankruptcy are not considered taxable income for either federal or state
purposes.  
Additionally, gains recognized from exchanging debt for common stock are not
considered 
taxable income.  However, these gains reduce prior years' net operating loss 
carryforwards.


10.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company leases certain real property and equipment under
noncancellable operating leases.  Under certain leasing arrangements, the
Company pays 
the property taxes, insurance and maintenance related to the leased property.

        1997                                68,512      
        1998 (end of leases)                39,298      
                        
                                          $213,702

The Company's only current involvement in legal proceedings are those
which arise in the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management,
the
outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company.

The Company participates in a multi-employer pension plan covering
substantially all of its union employees.  The union employees comprise 60% of
the
Company's workforce.  The Company makes monthly payments as required into the 
multi-employer plan trust established for union employees.  Under the Employee 
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended by the Multi-Employer
Pension Plan 
Amendments Act of 1980, an employer is liable for a proportionate part of the
plan's
unfunded vested benefits liability.  The Company's share of the unfunded
liability related 
to the Multi-Employer Pension Plan, if any, is not determinable.

The Company has entered into an agreement with a shareholder to provide
management support, strategic planning and assistance in raising capital.
Under the 
terms of the agreement, the Company paid this consultant $75,000 and $60,000
during 
1995 and 1994, respectively, of which $11,250 and $40,000, respectively, was
charged to 
additional paid-in capital and $63,750 and $20,000, respectively, to
operations.  
Additionally, this shareholder was compensated with 102,000 shares of common
stock in 
1994 for services related to raising equity capital.  The Company has revised
this contract, 
effective January 1, 1996.  Under the revised contract, the Company will issue
common
stock valued at $6,250 per month ($75,000 per year) for the period January,
1996 through 
December, 1998 to satisfy future obligations under this contract.

The Company has entered into employment agreements with its officers.
Included in these agreements is a provision for salary continuation in the
event of 
disability.  Under the agreement, each officer is entitled to receive full
salary for a six 
month period following disability, $1,000 per week for the next three years
and $500 per week for the remainder of his life.

(a) During 1994, the Company paid off its loan with its former primary lender
and recognized a gain as follows:

        Gain on early extinguishment of debt                 $1,092,462
        Expenses directly relating to debt refinancing         (141,327)

the
Company gave to certain creditors the option to "put" 20,745 shares of common
stock 
back to the Company at $10 per share.  During 1994, these creditors exercised
their 
options which resulted in a loss of $25,351, thereby reducing the gain
previously recognized as a reduction of debt of unsecured creditors.


15.     CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK ARISING FROM CASH DEPOSITS

Delaware Valley area.  The accounts at the institution are insured by the

16.     DISCLOSURE ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate
that value.

        Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable

The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of
those instruments.

         Long-Term Debt

The fair value of the Company's long-term debt is estimated based on the
quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates
offered to the 
Company for debt of the same remaining maturities.  As of December 31, 1995,
the
carrying value of this debt, aggregating $3,753,884 approximates the fair
value.


17.     ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE

As of December 31, 1995, their were no accounting pronouncements issued,
but not yet effective which would have a material effect on the financial
statements of the Company.
