          NOTE A - GENERAL

          Electric  &  Gas  Technology,  Inc.("the  Company"or "ELGT")  was
          organized under the laws of the State of Texas on March 18, 1985,
          to  serve   as  a   holding  company  for   operating  subsidiary
          corporations.  The  Company presently  is  the owner  of  100% of
          Retech,  which currently  owns 80%  of ABI  and the  Company owns
          91.5%  of  AMT and  100% of  Reynolds,  Hydel and  Fridcorp, and,
          through  such subsidiaries,  operates in  four  distinct business
          segments: (1)  production  of atmospheric  water, filtration  and
          enhanced  water products (AMT);  (2) the manufacture  and sale of
          natural  gas  measurement,  metering  and  odorization  equipment
          (Reynolds);  (3)  the  manufacture  and sale  of  electric  meter
          enclosures  and  pole-line  hardware  for  the  electric  utility
          industry and the general public (Hydel); and (4) the  manufacture
          of  vacuum-form and  injection-mold  products  (Fridcorp).    The
          entrance into the Water Industry will be  the major focus for the
          future development and growth on the  Company.  Effective October
          1,  1997 and  July    31,  1997,  the  Company  discontinued  the
          operations  of  its  defense   and  metal  fabrication  segments,
          respectively  which previously  were  engaged in  the design  and
          manufacture  of  defense  electronic  components  (SMI)  and  the
          manufacture   and  sale   of  precision   metal   enclosures  for
          telecommunication and computer  equipment (Logic),  respectively.
          The Company sold its Canadian heating division and its U.S. meter
          socket and  Test Switch  divisions during  fiscal 1996  and 1995.
          These operations were part of the electric segment.

          The   accompanying  condensed  financial   statements  have  been
          prepared in accordance with the regulations of the Securities and
          Exchange   Commission  (SEC)  for   inclusion  in  the  Company's
          Quarterly  Report on  Form 10-Q.   They  are subject  to year-end
          audit  adjustments; however,  they reflect  all adjustments  of a
          normal recurring  nature which are, in the opinion of Management,
          necessary for a fair  statement of the results of  operations for
          the interim periods.

          The statements were prepared using generally  accepted accounting
          principles.   As permitted by the SEC, the statements depart from
          generally  accepted  accounting  disclosure  principles  in  that
          certain  data is  combined,  condensed or  summarized that  would
          otherwise be  reported separately and certain  disclosures of the
          type that were made  in the Notes to Financial Statements for the
          year ended July 31, 1997 have  been omitted, even though they are
          necessary for a  fair presentation of  the financial position  at
          October 31, 1997 and 1996 and the results of operations  and cash
          flows for the periods then ended.

          NOTE B - INVENTORIES

          Inventories are comprised as follows:
                                             October 31, 1997   July 31, 1997

          NOTE C - COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

          Earnings per common share is based on the average weighted shares
          outstanding during the periods reported on.  Fully diluted shares
          assume  conversion of the 90,000 of $10 par value preferred stock
          into  approximately  600,000  shares  of common  stock  using  an
          approximate  market value of  $1.50 per share  (See the following
          paragraph regarding any ultimate conversion).

          On  December  15, 1995,  the Company  closed  on a  Note Purchase
          Agreement  with Allied  Products Corporation  ("Allied"), thereby
          obtaining  Allied's right, title and interest in and to a certain
          Promissory  Note   and  all  security   existing  thereunder  and
          obligations of Cooper Manufacturing  Corporation ("Cooper") under
          this Note and the Facility Agreement formerly executed  by Cooper
          and  its shareholders in exchange for $100,0000 in cash and newly
          issued,  90,000  shares  of,  Series  A,  $10.00  par  value,  7%
          Convertible Preferred stock of the  Company.  The promissory note
          was due on December 31,  1995 and demand for payment was  made on
          Cooper and its  guarantors.  The  preferred stock is  convertible
          into common  stock of the Company  at the ratio of  two shares of
          common stock  for each share of preferred  stock.  Each holder of
          record of the shares  of preferred stock is entitled  to one vote
          per  share equal to the voting rights of the common shareholders.
          The  Company  has  agreed  to  make  whole  any  deficiency  upon
          conversion and  subsequent sale  after December  31, 1997 of  the
          Company's common  stock for  less than  $900,000.   The Company's
          common stock is trading at approximately $1.50 per share which if
          sold  at that  price would require  600,000 shares to  be sold to
          retire  the obligation to Allied.  The  Company is of the opinion
          that the consideration paid  for the Allied note will  require an
          adjustment due  to Cooper's  bankruptcy filing based  on Allied's
          lack of disclosure regarding the threat of eminent  bankruptcy by
          the debtor.  Any  final conversion to the Company's  common stock
          is uncertain.

          NOTE  C   -  COMMON   AND  PREFERRED   STOCK  AND   EARNINGS  PER
          SHARE(Continued)

          The  individuals  whose  stock  was pledged  and  who  personally
          guaranteed the  Allied Note,  petitioned the  court on  behalf of
          Cooper to file for protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy laws in a
          Houston,  Texas court.    Effective July  31,  1997, the  Company
          reduced  its  investment  in   Cooper  to  $350,000,  the  amount
          anticipated to be  recovered under the  bankruptcy.  On  November
          21, 1997, the bankruptcy court confirmed the debtor's Plan (Cabec
          Energy Corp.) which provides the  Company with $700,000 in  cash,
          notes totaling  $220,000, a  royalty of 3%  of new rigs  sold and
          1,000,000  shares of Cabec Energy  Corp. common stock.   Based on
          the consideration  to be received  under the confirmed  Plan, the
          Company  adjusted  its  investment  in  Cooper  to  approximately
          $1,200,000.

          NOTE D - DISPOSITIONS

          The Company sold its defense  (SMI) and metal fabrication  (Logic
          and Precision) segments  effective October 1,  1997 and July  31,
          1997, respectively and accordingly, the financial statements have
          been  reclassified  to  reflect  these  segments  as discontinued
          operations. The Company has entered into an agreement to sale SMI
          with  its current management and will receive cash of $100,000, a
          note  for $900,000  and a  contingent payment  based on  a future
          royalty.  Such note and deferred gain are grouped in other assets
          at October  31, 1997 and any  gain will be recognized  as cash is
          received.    Proceeds  from  the sale  of  the  metal fabrication
          segment    amounted   to   approximately   $20,850,000   with   a
          corresponding gain of approximately  $12,650,000 and was recorded
          effective July 31,  1997.   Sales, cost of  goods sold,  selling,
          general  and administrative  expense and  other for  three months
          ended October 31, 1997 and 1996 were as follows:

             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                              AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          The Company,  through  its  subsidiaries,  operates  within  four
          separate  industries.   These are  (i) production  of atmospheric
          water, filtration  and  enhanced  water  products;    (ii)    the
          manufacture   of  natural  gas   measurement  equipment  and  gas
          odorization  products; (iii)  the manufacture  and sale  of metal
          enclosures and other electrical equipment for use in the electric
          utility  industry; and  (iv) the  manufacture of  vacuum-form and
          injection-mold products.

          Results of Operations

          Summary.     The  Company  reported  net   earnings  (loss)  from
          continuing operations and net earnings of $446,376 and $(194,472)
          and  $122,759 and $533,533 for the three months ended October 31,
          1997  and  1996, respectively.    Operating  income decreased  by
          $(185,445)  to  $(105,797)  the  result  of  higher  general  and
          administrative  expenses  and   reduced  revenues  and  operating
          profits in the gas segment.  The first quarter of fiscal 1997 was
          benefited by the favorable treatment under the debtor's confirmed
          Plan for  Cooper Manufacturing Corporation in  bankruptcy.  Gross
          margins declined  from 27.72%  to 24.17%.   Selling, general  and
          administrative  expenses as  a  relationship to  revenues at  the
          segment level increased from  25.16% to 27.57% of revenues.   Net
          interest  cost decreased  due mainly  to decreased  borrowing and

          Water revenues  amounted to $52,105 which  were essentially sales
          of  a few  demonstrators of  this segments  "Watermaker" product.
          Expenses  were  $153,306,  including  further  development  of  a
          business plan and marketing expenses.  While the Company has been
          working  on  this project  for  sometime, only  recently  has any
          meaningful activity taken place.

          Gas  revenues decreased by $(299,553)  for the three months ended
          October 31, 1997.   Operating income decreased  by $(146,250) for
          the three months ended October  31, 1997, resulting in  operating
          loss of $(83,565).   Selling, general and administrative expenses
          increased  with  declining revenues,  resulting in  the operating
          loss.    Staffing levels  remained  high  due to  an  anticipated
          development contract for a new meter product.

          Electric revenues  increased for  the three months  ended October
          31,  1997  by  $238,567.   Gross  margins  for  the three  months
          remained  relatively  unchanged  at 20.11%.    Operating  profits
          increased  by $  68,656 due  to the  lower  carrying cost  of the
          Paris, Texas  facility and  improved performance in  the Canadian
          operation.  The electric segment now consist of only the Canadian
          meter socket and pole line hardware product lines  selling almost
          entirely in the Canadian markets.

          Plastics revenues increased by $16,832 for the three months ended
          October 31, 1997.   With revenues remaining relatively unchanged,
          operating  profits  decreased  by  $(6,650).   The  decreases  in
          operating  profits  were  due  to  higher  selling,  general  and
          administrative expenses.

          With the  exception of  expense relationships discussed  above in
          the specific segment discussion,  such other relationships remain
          consistent.  Operating  profits decreased by 5.96%, the effect of
          reduced  margins  (3.55)%  and  increased  selling,  general  and
          administrative expense of (2.42)%, discussed above, for the three
          months ended October 31, 1997.

          Liquidity and Capital Resources

          31, 1997,  or a  decrease of  $(3,004,139).  Current  liabilities
          decreased  by $(1,297,602),  resulting in  a decrease  in working
          capital (current  assets less current liabilities) to $12,961,306
          at  October 31,  1997, from $14,707,843  at July  31, 1997.   The
          Company believes that it has and will generate sufficient cash to
          meet its working capital requirements and debt obligations.

          Dividend Policy

          No  cash dividends have been  declared by the  Company's Board of
          Directors since the  Company's inception.   The Company does  not
          contemplate  paying cash  dividends  on its  common stock  in the
          foreseeable  future since it intends  to utilize it  cash flow to
          invest  in its businesses.  Cumulative dividends on the Series A,

          Other Business Matters

               Accounting   for  Post-Retirement  Benefits.    The  Company
          provides no  post-retirement  benefits; therefore,  FASB No.  106
          will have no impact on the Company's financial position or result
          of operations.

               Inflation.  The Company does not expect  the current effects
          of  inflation to  have  any  effect  on  its  operations  in  the
          foreseeable  future.   The  largest single  impact affecting  the
          Company's overall operations is the  general state of the economy
          and principally new home construction.

                                       PART II

          ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

          The former  manufacturers representative of Logic,  Ammon & Rizos
          Co,  has filed a suit against the Company, the Company's chairman
          of  the board,  Logic, and  New Logic  Design Metals,  Inc. ("New
          Logic")(the purchaser of the assets) for  unpaid fees, assumed by
          New   Logic  and  a  previous  adjustment   in  prior  fees  plus
          prospective fee  from New Logic's  sales.  The  case is  in early
          stages  of  discovery;  management  believes  there  will  be  no
          material effect on the Company.

          Allied Products Co has sued the Company under the Preferred Stock
          issued by the Company in connection with its investment in Cooper
          Manufacturing  Corporation ("Cooper")  and the  rights pertaining
          thereto.   The suit was filed in the Eastern District of Illinois
          (Chicago)   and  currently,   all   activity   is   directed   at
          jurisdictional  issues.   The Company  has  filed a  counter suit
          alleging  security  violations  (10b5) demanding  return  of  its
          Preferred  Stock.  In addition,  the Company has  been advised by
          the  Cooper  debtor-in-possession  that  they  plan  to  initiate
          litigation   claiming  preference  violations  by  Allied.    The
          ultimate resolution of  this case  will depend in  part upon  the
          outcome  of the  Cooper bankruptcy  case.   The bankruptcy  court
          confirmed  the debtor's  Plan of  Reorganization on  November 21,
          1997.
