ACCOUNTANT'S REVIEW REPORT


To the Board of Directors
EPOLIN INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Newark, NJ

We have reviewed the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet of Epolin Inc.
and Subsidiary as of May 31, 2000 and the related Consolidated Statements
of Income, Stockholders' Equity and Cash Flows for the three months then
ended in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review
Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
All information included in these financial statements is the
representation of the management of Epolin, Inc. and Subsidiary.

A review consists principally of inquiries of Company personnel and
analytical procedures applied to financial data.  It is substantially less
in scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding
the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express
such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the May 31, 2000 financial statements in order for them
to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements of Epolin, Inc. and Subsidiary for
the three months ended May 31, 1999 were complied by us in accordance with
Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A compilation is
limited to presenting in the form of financial statements information that
is the representation of management.  We have not audited or reviewed the
May 31, 1999 financial statements and, accordingly, do not express an
opinion or any other form of assurance on them.

Note B - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (Continued)

Cash and Cash Equivalents - Includes cash in bank and money market accounts
for purposes of preparing the Statement of Cash Flows.

Concentrations of Credit Risks - The Company has cash deposits in financial
institutions in excess of the amount insured by agencies of the federal
government of approximately $1,097,000 and $915,000 at May 31, 2000 and
1999, respectively.  In evaluating this credit risk, the Company
periodically evaluates the stability of these financial institutions.

Inventories - Consists of raw materials, work in process, finished goods and
supplies valued at the lower of cost or market under the first-in, first-out
method.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - All reported assets and liabilities,
which represent financial instruments, approximate the carrying values of
such amounts.

Property, Plant and Equipment - Stated at cost less accumulated depreciation
and amortization. Provisions for depreciation are computed on the straight-
line and declining balance methods, based upon the estimated useful lives of
the assets.

Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $5,068 and $4,584 for the period
ended May 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Income taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes",
wherein the asset and liability method is used in accounting for income
taxes.  Deferred taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the
basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax
purposes.  The temporary differences relate primarily to different
accounting methods used for depreciation and amortization of property and
equipment, allowance for doubtful accounts and net operating loss carry
forwards.

Use of 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 amounts of sales and expenses during the
reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Leases:

The company leases its promises from its wholly - owned subsidiary.  The
lease was for a term of five (5) years with three (3) five (5) year options
at annual rentals of $97,740 subject to a Cost of Living Index adjustment
effective with the second year.  Rent includes reimbursed real estate taxes
and insurance.

The minimum annual rentals under the lease are as follows:

                 February 28, 2001               $97,740
                 February 28, 2002                65,160

Deferred Compensation:

On December 29, 1995, the Company entered into a deferred compensation
agreement with two officers.  The first officer's additional annual
compensation of $19,645 plus interest is being deferred until such time the
officer reaches age 65 or is terminated.  The obligation is being funded
with a life insurance policy.  Annual payments of $32,000 for ten
consecutive years shall commence the first day of the month following the
officer's 65th birthday or termination.  The second officer was credited
with $25,000 per year until his date of retirement, however, he elected to
continue to work after his retirement age, thereby freezing the balance in
his account.  Therefore, no contribution was necessary for the current
period.  Upon retirement, he will be paid either in equal consecutive
monthly payments for a period not exceeding sixty (60) months or a single
payment equal to the then present value of the account.  This selection will
be at this discretion of the company.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
Financial Statements  included in this report and is qualified in its
entirety by the foregoing.

Introduction

     Epolin, Inc. (the "Company") is a manufacturing and research and
development company which was incorporated in the State of New Jersey in
May 1984.  The Company is principally engaged in the development,
production and sale of near infrared dyes to the optical industry for laser
protection and for welding applications and other dyes, specialty chemical
products that serve as intermediates and additives used in the adhesive,
plastic, aerospace, pharmaceutical, flavors and fragrance industries to a
group of customers located in the United States and throughout the world.

     This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements and
information relating to the Company that are based on the beliefs and
assumptions by the Company's management as well as information currently
available to the management.  When used herein, the words "anticipate",
"believe", "estimate", and "expect" and similar expressions, are intended
to identify forward-looking statements.  Such statements reflect the
current views of the Company with respect to future events and are subject
to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions.  Should one or more of
these risks or uncertainties materialize or should underlying assumptions
prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described
herein as anticipated, believed, estimated or expected.  The Company does
not intend to update these forward-looking statements.

Results of Operations

     During the quarter ended May 31, 2000, the Company reported sales
of approximately $497,200 as compared to sales of approximately $491,700
during the quarter ended May 31, 1999, an increase of approximately $5,500
or 1.1%.

     Operating income for the quarter ended May 31, 2000 decreased to
approximately $145,500 from operating income of approximately $268,300 for
the quarter ended May 31, 1999, a decrease of approximately $122,800.  This
change resulted primarily from an increase in cost of sales and selling,
general and administrative expenses for the three months ended May 31, 2000
as compared to the three months ended May 31, 1999 with sales at
approximately the same levels for the comparable periods.  Cost of sales
for the three months ended May 31, 2000 was approximately $175,500 as
compared to cost of sales during the three months ended May 31, 1999 of
approximately $111,800.  During the three months ended May 31, 2000, the
Company's selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately
$175,100 as compared to selling, general and administrative expenses of
approximately $111,600 for the three months ended May 31, 1999.

     During the three months ended May 31, 2000, the Company realized
approximately $16,000 in  interest  income as compared to approximately
$7,900 in interest income for the comparable period of 1999.

     During the quarter ended May 31,2000, the Company reported income
before taxes of approximately $161,500 as compared to income before taxes
of approximately $276,100 for the three months ended May 31, 1999.  Net
income after taxes was approximately $112,000 for the three months ended
May 31, 2000 as compared to income after taxes of approximately $182,200
for the three months ended May 31,1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     On May 31, 2000, the Company had working capital of approximately
$1,719,700, an equity to debt ratio of approximately 4.68 to 1, and
stockholders' equity of approximately $2,145,000.  On May 31, 2000, the
Company had approximately $1,150,800 in cash and cash equivalents, total
assets of approximately $2,604,000 and total  liabilities of approximately
$458,800.  The Company believes that its available cash, cash flow from
operations and projected revenues will be sufficient to fund the Company's
operations for at least the next 12 months.

     The Company does not anticipate making any significant additional
capital expenditures in the immediate future as it believes its present
machinery and equipment will be sufficient to meet its near term needs.

     Inflation has not significantly impacted the Company's operations.

Other Information

     In March 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a
stock repurchase program of up to $150,000 of the Company's outstanding
shares of Common Stock.  In connection therewith, the Company announced
that purchases may be made in the open market or in privately negotiated
transactions from time to time, based on market prices and that the
repurchase program may be suspended without further notice.  Management
believes the Company's shares are undervalued at current price levels and
this program offers the Company a chance not only to repurchase some of
its stock at prices management perceives to be attractive but it also
enables the Company to enhance shareholder value although no assurance can
be given that any such repurchases will have such effect.  A total of
470,700 shares have been repurchased under this program through May 31,
2000, at a cumulative cost of $118,906.  No shares were repurchased during
the quarter ended May 31, 2000.
