ITEM 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

     As a result of the settlement of civil litigation between AMRE, Inc.,
     certain other defendants and plaintiff class members in the consolidated
     class action lawsuit, Lewis Marks et al v. AMRE, Inc. et al, CA-3-1045-R,
     which settlement became final on January 21, 1993, the former president of
     AMRE, Inc., Steven D. Bedowitz, and the former executive vice president,
     Robert Levin, entered into separate voting trust agreements pursuant to
     which Messrs. Bedowitz and Levin transferred the voting power with respect
     to 2,421,908 and 1,304,219 shares of AMRE, Inc.  Common Stock owned by
     them, respectively, to the outside directors of AMRE, Inc. (such outside
     directors being the Reporting Persons herein) for a period of ten years,
     subject to removal of shares from the respective voting trusts in the
     event of sale of shares by Messrs. Bedowitz or Levin.  The voting trustees
     only have the right to vote the shares subject to the voting trusts, and
     have no pecuniary interest in such shares.
        
     On November 10, 1995, Mr. Bedowitz sold 1,392,446 shares of common stock
     of AMRE, Inc., the remainder of the shares held by him, thus, in effect,
     terminating the voting trust.  As of December 7, 1995, Mr. Levin held an   
     aggregate of 269,314 shares subject to his voting trust described above.

ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

     (a)   The aggregate number and percentage of class of the securities
           identified pursuant to Item 1 beneficially owned by each of the
           Reporting Persons (not including 269,314 shares of Common Stock
           which are subject to the voting trust with respect to which the
           Reporting Persons are trustees) are as follows:
