With respect to the other proposal, a stockholder may, by checking

     THE PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDER OF THE COMPANY, S.O.I. INDUSTRIES,

46% OF THE ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK AND HAS ADVISED THE

FAVOR OF THE PROPOSALS DESCRIBED HEREIN.

                           VOTING RIGHTS

     Only holders of record of outstanding shares of Common Stock

entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters coming
before the Annual Meeting. There were approximately 5,961,188
shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote on November

     To be elected, each director must receive the affirmative vote
of the holders of a plurality of the issued and outstanding shares
of Common Stock represented in person or by proxy at the Annual
Meeting.  Approval of Proposal Two will require the affirmative
vote of the holders of the majority of the shares of Common Stock
entitled to vote and represented at the Annual Meeting in person or
by proxy.  Abstentions will have the effect of a vote against the
proposal.  Non-votes (as defined below) will have no effect on the
voting of any of the proposals.  A "non-vote" occurs when a nominee
holding shares for a beneficial owner has voted on certain matters
at the Annual Meeting pursuant to discretionary authority or
instructions from the beneficial owner but may not have received
instructions or exercised discretionary voting power with respect
to other matters.

The Company has an employment agreement with Jack D. Brown,
Jr. The agreement with Mr. Brown  is for a term of 3 years

among other things, covenants by Mr. Brown that in the event of
termination for cause, he will not associate with a business that
competes with the Company for a period of one year after cessation
of employment.  The employment agreement also provides for a bonus
arrangement based on the following formula: a bonus not to exceed
3.5% of the net operating profits before taxes and any income/loss
arising from investments or extraordinary items.
                                    

1990 Employee Stock Option Plan
                                    
On January 25, 1990, the Company's Board of Directors adopted
the 1990 Employee Stock Option Plan (the "Plan").  
                               
The administration of the Plan rests with the Compensation
Committee (the "Committee").  Subject to the express provisions of
the Plan and the Board of Directors, the Committee shall have
complete authority in its discretion to determine those employees
to whom, and the price at which options shall be granted, the
option periods and the number of shares of Common Stock to be
subject to each option.  The Committee shall also have the
authority in its discretion to prescribe the time or times at which
the options may be exercised and limitations upon the exercise of
options (including limitations effective upon the death or
termination of employment of the optionee), and the restrictions,
if any, to be imposed upon the transferability of shares acquired
upon exercise of options.  In making such determinations, the
Committee may take into account the nature of the services rendered
by respective employees, their present and potential contributions
to the success of the Company or its subsidiaries, and such other
factors as the Committee in its discretion shall deem relevant.
                                    
An option may be granted under the Plan only to an employee of
the Company or its subsidiaries.  The Plan made available for
option 800,000 shares (as adjusted for a one for eight reverse
split) of the Company's Common Stock.
                                    
If an optionee ceases to be employed by the Company or any of
its subsidiaries, his or her options shall terminate immediately;
provided, however, that if an optionee's cessation of employment
with the Company and its subsidiaries is due to his death or
retirement with the consent of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, the optionee may, at any time within twelve months in
the event of death, or three months after such cessation of
employment, exercise his options to the extent that he was entitled
to exercise them on the date of cessation of employment, but in no
event shall any option be exercisable more than five years from the
date it was granted.
                                    
The term of each option granted under the Plan will be for
such period not exceeding five years as the Committee shall
determine.  Each option granted under the Plan will be exercisable
on such date or dates and during such period and for such number of
shares as shall be determined pursuant to the provisions of the
option agreement evidencing such option.  Subject to the express
provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have complete
authority, in its discretion, to determine the extent, if any, and
the conditions under which an option may be exercised in the event
of the death of the optionee or in the event the optionee leaves
the employ of the Company or has his employment terminated by the
Company.  The purchase price for shares of Common Stock under each
option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of the
option's issuance and may be less than the fair market value of
such shares on the date on which the options are granted.  The

agreements evidencing the grant of options may contain other terms
and conditions, consistent with the Plan, that the Committee may
approve.
                                    
S.O.I. Industries, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan
                                    
The Company participates in the SOI Employee Stock Ownership
Plan ("ESOP").  The ESOP provides retirement benefits to
substantially all employees.  The  ESOP is a qualified employee
benefit plan exempt from taxation under the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended.  There are 800,000 shares of SOI common stock
in the ESOP.
                                    
On January 7, 1991, the Employee Stock Ownership Trust (the
"ESOT") purchased the 800,000 shares of SOI common stock from an
officer and director of SOI, Mr. Donald Courtney.  The ESOT is
entitled to vote on all matters presented to holders of common
stock, voting together as a class.  
                                    
         PROPOSAL TWO:  RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT
                              AUDITORS

     The Board of Directors of the Company has appointed the
accounting firm of Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. as independent auditors
of the Company for its fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, and is
submitting such selection to the Company's stockholders for their
ratification.  The Board of Directors recommends that such
appointment be approved by the stockholders.  If the foregoing
proposal is not approved, or if Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. declines
to act or otherwise becomes incapable of performing, or if its
appointment is otherwise discontinued, the Board of Directors will
appoint other independent accountants whose appointment for any
period subsequent to fiscal year 1996 will be subject to approval
by the stockholders at the 1996 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. 
Representatives of Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. are expected to be
present at the annual meeting and such representatives will have an
opportunity to make a statement if they so desire.  The
representatives will also be expected to be available to answer
appropriate questions.

        The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR this proposal.

              OTHER MATTERS THAT MAY COME BEFORE THE MEETING

     Management of the Company knows of no matters other than those
stated above which are to be brought before the meeting.  However,
if any such other matters should be presented for consideration and
voting, it is the intention of the persons named in the proxy to
vote thereon in accordance with their judgment.

              ANNUAL REPORT AND DATE OF RECEIPT OF PROPOSALS

1995, including financial statements,  are being furnished with
