          Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1.   Basis of Presentation: 
 
     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01
of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
solely of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. 
 
Note 2.   Inventories: 
 
     Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is determined
using the first-in, first-out method ("FIFO"). 
 
     Components of inventories at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 consist
of the following: 
                        June 30, 1996     December 31, 1995 
 
     Raw materials        $1,240,902          $  872,126 
     Finished goods          814,805             704,828 
     Packaging materials 
        and supplies          99,083              76,688
     Less provision for
        obsolescence         (42,000)            (60,000)
                          ----------          ----------
                          $2,112,790          $1,593,642 
                          ==========          ==========
     All inventory is currently used in the business of the Company's
subsidiary, Berger Bros Company.

Note 3.   Property, Plant and Equipment: 
 
     Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost.  Costs of major
additions and betterments are capitalized; 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. 

                                        9
<PAGE>
          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. 
                               
    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 on accelerated methods. 


ITEM 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
             Conditions and Results of Operation. 

Results of Operations
 
     The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Berger Financial Corporation and Berger Financial
Corporation's wholly-owned subsidiary, Berger Bros Company.  All intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated.

     During the quarter ended June 30, 1996 (the "Current Quarter") the Company
reported net income of $504,110 on net sales of $5,540,619.  This compares to a 
net loss of $108,815 on net sales of $4,099,219 for the quarter ended June 30,
1995 (the "Comparable Quarter").

     The Current Quarter's sales increased 35.2% ($1,441,400) as compared to
the quarter ended June 30, 1995.  This increase is primarily due to a stronger
core market, new customers and more advantageous weather conditions in 1996 as
compared to 1995.

     Cost of Sales increased to $4,211,616 in the Current Quarter from
$3,525,303 in the Comparable Quarter.  As a percentage of net sales, Cost of
Sales decreased to 76.0% in the Current Quarter from 86.0% in the Comparable
Quarter.  This decrease occurred as a result of allocating fixed overhead costs
over a greater number of units produced, thereby reducing the cost of inventory
items.  At the same time, the Company was able to reduce direct labor costs.

                                       10 
<PAGE>
     Selling, general and administrative expenses were $639,921 in the Current
Quarter as compared to $553,848 in the Comparable Quarter.  This increase in
expenses is due to higher promotional costs and advertising fees in the Current
Quarter.  As a percentage of net sales,  selling, general and administrative
expenses decreased to 11.5% in the Current Quarter as compared to 13.5% in the
Comparable Quarter.                                   

     For the six month period ending June 30, 1996 (the "Current Half"), the
Company reported operating income of $775,911 on sales of $9,151,731.  This
compares to operating income of $200,322 on sales of $8,146,723 for the six
months ending June 30, 1995 (the "Comparable Half").  The improvement in
operating results is primarily due to the increase in sales volume and
improved control of operating expenses.  The Company had net income of $466,346
in the Current Half as compared to a net loss of $74,369 in the Comparable Half.
 
     Sales increased 12.3% or $1,005,008 to $9,151,731 for the Current Half
from $8,146,723 in the Comparable Half.  This increase is primarily due to a
stronger core market and new accounts.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Current Half were
$1,111,416 as compared to $1,111,764 in the Comparable Half.  Selling, general,
and administrative expenses as a percentage of Sales decreased to 12.1% in the
Current Half from 13.6% in the Comparable Half due to cost control measures
implemented in 1996.

 
Liquidity and Capital Resources 

     At June 30, 1996, working capital was $3,043,751 resulting in a ratio of
current assets to current liabilities of 2.56 to 1, as compared to working
capital of($469,771) (.87 to 1) at December 31, 1995.  This increase in working
capital is due to the fact that the Company's credit line of $3,500,000 has
been extended for a two year term and reclassified to a long term debt as
compared to a current liability at December 31, 1995.

     Current liabilities at June 30, 1996 totalled $1,945,715 consisting
primarily of $1,497,053 in accounts payable and accrued expenses and $448,662
in current maturities of long term debt.  At December 31, 1995, total current
liabilities were $3,573,257 consisting primarily of $1,496,086 in accounts
payable and accrued expenses and $2,077,171 in current maturities of long term
debt.  Current liabilities decreased by $1,627,542 primarily as a result of
reclassifying short term debt to long term debt upon the renewal of its credit
facility with The CIT Group.

                                       11
<PAGE>
     At June 30 1996, the Company had shareholders' equity of $5,133,404 as
compared to $4,635,369 at December 31, 1995.  The increase of $498,035 is made
up of the following:
                  Issuance of stock                         $ 31,689
                  Net income for the period                  466,346
                                                             -------
                                                            $498,035
                                                             =======
 
     Depending upon the Company's performance and market conditions, the
exercise of outstanding warrants could produce additional proceeds.  There can
be no assurance that any warrants will be exercised.

     Cash used in operating activities for the Current Half was $1,236,569 as
compared to $363,326 used in the Comparable Half.  These uses of cash result
primarily from the increase in inventory and accounts receivable during both the
Current and Comparable Half.  

     Net cash used in investing activities totaled $193,989 in the Current Half
as compared to $155,664 used in the Comparable Half.

     Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,303,129 in the Current
Half, as compared to $577,866 provided in the Comparable Half.  The current
unused credit line as of June 30, 1996 was approximately $412,000.  As of July
24, 1996 CIT has provided an additional $250,000 of availability to Berger's
credit line.
