              Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

          (Information as of June 30, 1996 and 1995, and for
           the six and three months then ended is unaudited)


1.    Unaudited Information

      In the opinion of management of RTI Inc. (with its Subsidiaries,
the "Company"), the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements include all adjustments necessary to present fairly, in
all material respects, the Company's financial position as of June
30, 1996, its results of operations for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, and its cash flows for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.  Results of operations for the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December
31, 1996.  Information included in the consolidated balance sheet as
of December 31, 1995 has been derived from the Company's audited
consolidated financial statements in its Annual Report on Form
10-KSB/A for the year ended December 31, 1995, to which reference is
made.  Certain information included in the audited consolidated
financial statements and related notes prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles may have been condensed or
omitted.

2.    Rockaway Industrial Park

      The Company owns a 248 acre parcel of land ("Parcel I") in
Rockaway, New Jersey, that is contiguous to the 15 acre operating
parcel that is the site of one of its irradiation processing
facilities ("Parcel II" and, with Parcel I, the "Rockaway Industrial
Park").  Since 1985, the Company has been seeking a buyer for Parcel
I.  However, the Company's ability sell Parcel I is impaired until
the completion of an environmental cleanup and remediation program
(Note 3), and its ability to recover its net investment in Parcel I
is impaired by liabilities accruing from outstanding property taxes
on approximately 222 acres of Parcel I for the years 1993, 1994,
1995, and 1996, which have been accrued in the financial statements.

3.    Environmental Investigation and Remediation

      As a result of engineering tests that commenced in 1981, the New
Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (the "DEP") issued a
directive in 1986 ordering a remedial investigation and feasibility
study (the "Study") designed to determine the nature and extent of
contamination on the Rockaway Industrial Park property.  The Company
agreed to pay the costs of the Study and entered into an
Administrative Consent Order with the DEP.  In 1989, the DEP issued a
Second Directive to pay for an additional environmental study and DEP
oversight costs.  In 1993, the Company entered into an Administrative
Consent Order ("ACO") with the DEP.  Cost reimbursement to the DEP
under the ACO includes applicable DEP expenditures beginning July 1,
1982 and future DEP oversight costs.  In April 1996, the DEP agreed

                                  -7-

                       RTI Inc. and Subsidiaries
              Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

          (Information as of June 30, 1996 and 1995, and for
           the six and three months then ended is unaudited)

to accept an aggregate payment of $575,000 as settlement of all
outstanding claims asserted under the ACO, as well as all claims
which could be asserted for the period ended June 30, 1996.  The
total accrued for reimbursement due the DEP under the ACO at June 30,
1996, was $720,306, which consisted of outstanding billed DEP
expenditures for the period July 1, 1982 to January 20, 1995, and
estimated unbilled DEP expenditures (Notes 4 and 6).

      In April 1996, the DEP responded to the Company's petition to
change the Remedial Action Work Plan under the Record of Decision,
and advised the Company that a pilot test of the CleanOx remediation
program, undertaken by the Company on its Rockaway property, was not
considered conclusive.  As a result, the Company has increased its
estimate of groundwater remediation programs by $460,000 to provide
for a second pilot test and the possible implementation of a
groundwater remediation plan required by the DEP's Record of
Decision.

      In addition, the Company has been named a respondent in an
environmental proceeding relating to a New Jersey disposal site
("Nascolite") to which the Company shipped a small amount of
materials in 1978.  The Company has recorded an accrual of $50,000
for such potential liability and related expenses.

      As a result of ongoing remediation and DEP involvement in these
matters, there can be no assurances that the cleanup, remediation,
and DEP oversight accruals will represent the Company's ultimate
liability.

      Environmental accruals consisted of the following at June 30,
1996:

                  Current:

8.    Stockholders' Equity

      (a) Common Stock Authorized, Issued and Outstanding - Effective
May 25, 1995, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation was amended
to effect a one for eight reverse stock split of the common stock.
The outstanding common stock at June 30, 1996 was based on the actual
number of shares converted one for eight and the remaining
unconverted shares less calculated fractional shares.

      (b) Preferred Stock Authorized, Issued and Outstanding -
Effective May 25, 1995, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation
was amended to authorize 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
Effective February 27, 1996 the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation was amended to designate 200,000 of such shares as
Series A Preferred Stock and to establish the relative rights,
preferences, and limitations, of the Series A Preferred Stock, which
include:

            (i) the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, upon issuance
      for a consideration of $2.00 per share, shall be fully-paid and
      non-assessable,

            (ii) the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be
      entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of
      Directors out of funds legally available for the purpose,
      dividends in cash at the rate of $0.16 per share per annum.
      Dividends on shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be payable
      annually on December 31 of each year.  Dividends on shares of
      Series A Preferred Stock will be cumulative whether or not
      earned or declared and whether or not there shall be funds of
      the Company legally available for the payment of such dividends,

            (iii) in the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or
      winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary,
      after payment or provision for the payment of the debts and
      other liabilities of the Company, the Company shall pay to the
      holders of Series A Preferred Stock, before any distribution
      shall be made to the holders of any other capital stock of the
      Company, an amount equal to $2.00 per share of Series A
      Preferred Stock held by each such holder, plus an amount equal
      to all accrued dividends unpaid thereon to the date of final
      distribution to such holders,

            (iv) the holders of record of Series A Preferred Stock

      any other matter submitted to the holders of common shares
      voting together with the holders of common shares as a single

      class, and shall be entitled to one vote per share of Series A
      Preferred Stock held by them,
 
            (v) each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be
      convertible at any time, at the option of the holder thereof,
      into one common share,

            (vi) a holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the
      option, but not the obligation, to require the Company to redeem
      all, but not less than all, of such holder's shares of Series A
      Preferred Stock at a redemption price of $2.00 per share.  Such
      redemption price is payable in cash, except that if redemption
      is made before January 31, 1997, the Company may, at its option,
      pay the redemption price by delivery of a note in the principal
      amount of the redemption price, payable ten days after demand,
      which may not be made prior to January 31, 1997.

            (vii) the Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed, at the
      option of the Company, in whole but not in part, at any time
      after January 31, 1997, at a price of $2.00 per share, in cash.

            On March 4, 1996, the Company issued 118,000 shares of
      Series A Preferred Stock at $2.00 per share.  Since the issued
      Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable, at the holder's option,
      for cash at any time on and after January 31, 1997, the
      aggregate redemption price is considered to be a current
      liability.

      (c) Weighted Average Number of Common Shares Outstanding - The
computation of the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996
and 1995 considered the one for eight reverse stock split, and
excluded outstanding preferred stock, warrants, and options which
were considered antidilutive.

      (d) Warrant - On November 29, 1995, the Company granted to
Frellum Corporation (an affiliated party), in connection with a
short-term credit line provided to the Company, a warrant for the
purchase of 25,000 shares of common stock at the exercise price of
$1.75 per share, which warrant was exercised on June 7, 1997.

      (e) Stock Options - The Company's 1987 stock option plan (the
"Plan") authorizes the issuance of options for common stock until
November 3, 1997.  The options granted may be either incentive stock
options which are exercisable one year or more from the date of grant
or nonqualified stock options which may be exercisable immediately.
Details of stock option transactions for the six month period ended
June 30, 1996 under the Plan are as follows:

six month period of 1995, resulted primarily from storage space
rentals.  Other income of $594,330 in the six month period of 1996
included a $580,000 settlement of prior environmental insurance
claims.


10.   Other Assets

      Other assets of $82,106 consisted of the purchase price of
discounted, defaulted consumer debt and a related contract for
collection of such debt.

including Item 1 ("Description of Business") and Item 3 ("Legal
Proceedings") thereof.


Comparison of Operations for the Three Month Periods Ended June 30,
1996 and 1995

      Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1996 (the "1996
quarter") were $1,226,521, an increase of 19% from net sales of
$1,034,310 for the three months ended June 30, 1995 (the "1995
quarter").  Increased net sales in the 1996 quarter were primarily a
result of increased product volume from existing customers.

      Cost of sales in the 1996 quarter increased 7% to $769,591 from
$722,038 in the 1995 quarter.  The increase was primarily due to
direct processing costs related to increased product volume.  As a
result of increased processing volume, the gross profit percentage in
the 1996 quarter increased to 37% from 30% in the 1995 quarter.

      Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses of
$400,982 in the 1996 quarter decreased 4% from $419,144 in the 1995
quarter.  Certain SG&A expenses, such as executive salaries, were
reduced in the 1996 quarter compared to the same expenses in the 1995
quarter, but were partially offset by increased legal expenses in the
1996 quarter relating to the proposed sale of substantially all of
the Company's assets to SteriGenics International.

      Expenses of Rockaway Industrial Park - Parcel I  increased to
$26,353 in the 1996 quarter as compared to $24,074 in the 1995
quarter  due to increased maintenance costs.

      As a result of the foregoing, the income from operations in the
1996 quarter was $29,595 as compared to a loss from operations of
$130,946 in the 1995 quarter.

<PAGE>


      Other interest expense of $59,051 in the 1996 quarter decreased
by $12,251 from other interest expense in the 1995 quarter primarily
due to lower debt in the 1996 quarter.

      For the three month period ending June 30, 1996, the Company
reported a net loss of $23,870 or $.02 per share, as compared to a
net loss of $198,348 or $.18 per share in the same period of 1995.


Comparison of Operations for the Six Month Periods Ended June 30,
1996 and 1995

      Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1996 (the "1996
period") were $2,312,692, an increase of 7% from net sales of
$2,156,790 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 (the "1995
period").  Increased net sales in the 1996 period were primarily a
result of higher processing volume from existing customers.

      Cost of sales in the 1996 period increased 6% to $1,509,855 from
$1,427,265 in the 1995 period.  The increase was primarily a result
of higher direct processing costs related to increased product
volume, and increased Cobalt amortization.  As a result, the gross
profit percentage in the 1996 period increased to 35% from 34% in the
1995 period.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses of $815,213 in the
1996 period decreased 1% from $826,348 in the 1995 period.  Certain
SG&A expenses, such as executive salaries, were reduced in the 1996
period compared to the same expenses in the 1995 period, but were
partially offset by increased legal expenses in the 1996 period
relating to the proposed sale of substantially all of the Company's
assets to SteriGenics International.

      Expenses of Rockaway Industrial Park - Parcel I  decreased to
$47,610 in the 1996 period as compared to $58,077 in the 1995 period.
The decrease was due primarily to lower maintenance and consultant
costs incurred in the 1996 period.

      Environmental investigation and remediation expenses in the 1996
period of $480,000 were the result of a $460,000 increase in the
Company's estimates of the costs to be incurred for groundwater
remediation programs at the Rockaway, New Jersey site and a $20,000
increase in the Company's estimate for involvement at the Nascolite
site (Note 3).  No such increases occurred in the 1995 period.

      As a result of the foregoing, the loss from operations in the
1996 period was $539,986 as compared to a loss from operations of
$154,900 in the 1995 period.

      Investment income was $5,931 in the 1996 period as compared to
$6,594 in the 1995 period, a result of lower amounts available for
investing.



                                 -14-

<PAGE>


      Other interest expense of $127,470 in the 1996 period decreased
by $2,217 from other interest expense in the 1995 period primarily
due to lower debt in the 1996 period.

      Other income of $594,330 in the 1996 period was primarily the
result of a $580,000 settlement of prior environmental insurance
claims.

      As a result, the Company reported a net loss of $67,195 or $.06
per share in the 1996 period, as compared to a net loss of $276,793
or $.26 per share in the 1995 period.


Financial Condition

      At June 30, 1996, the Company had a working capital deficit of
$1,185,501, as compared to a working capital deficit of $1,116,028 at
December 31, 1995.  The $69,473 increase in the working capital
deficit was primarily the result of purchases of Cobalt 60 and other
capital assets, ongoing environmental remediation, and an investment
in discounted, defaulted consumer debt, partially offset by $580,000
received from an insurance settlement of prior environmental claims.
The Company's ability to improve its working capital position is
dependent on increasing the current level of sales revenues or
obtaining external financing.

      As discussed in the 1995 Form 10-KSB, the Company has entered
into an Asset Acquisition Agreement ("Asset Sale") with SteriGenics
International to sell substantially all of the Company's operating
assets, subject to a number of conditions including shareholder
approval and removal of Spill Act Liens obtained by the DEP.  In
April 1996, as a condition to releasing such liens, the DEP agreed to
accept $575,000 as settlement of all outstanding claims asserted
under ACO, as well as all claims which could be asserted for the
period ended June 30, 1996.  Also, on July 24, 1996 the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") offered to settle the
Company's involvement in the Nascolite Corporation Superfund Site
(see Note 3) for a one time payment of $32,247 within 30 days of the
effective date of a consent decree.  The Company accepted the offer
in its response to the EPA.  The Company does not currently have
available funds to pay the DEP or EPA settlements, but anticipates
fund such settlements with proceeds from the Asset Sale.

      During the second quarter, the Company borrowed $100,000 from
its short-term credit line for additional working capital.  The
Company anticipates that no additional financing will be needed for
ongoing operations, other than short-term borrowings under an
existing $315,000 credit line, unless the Asset Sale is not
consummated within the terms of the agreement.

      In the 1996 period, the Company acquired additional Cobalt 60
under an existing lease agreement and for cash terms of sixty days.
Other capital expenditures in the 1996 period included a warehouse
addition at one facility and purchases of plant processing equipment.

                                 -15-

      The Company's net cash provided by operating activities in the
1996 period was $550,016 as compared to $108,225 in the 1995 period.
Cash provided by operations in the 1996 period increased primarily
due to the receipt of $580,000 from an insurance settlement.
Investing activities in the 1996 period used net cash of $717,077
primarily for the purchase of Cobalt 60, a warehouse expansion, other
plant processing equipment, and an investment in discounted defaulted
consumer debt, as compared to net cash used of $36,112 in the 1995
period.  Net cash provided by financing activities in the 1996 period
was $116,620, which primarily resulted from the sale of preferred
stock and the exercise of a warrant, which was partially offset by
payments on the short-term credit line and long-term debt, as
compared to net cash used in financing activities of $179,094 in the
1995 period.  The resulting net decrease in cash and cash equivalents
in the 1996 period was $50,441, as compared to a net decrease of
$106,981 for the 1995 period.


Part II.  Other Information

Item 1.     Legal Proceedings.

      Reference is made to Item 3 - "Legal Proceedings" contained in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for its fiscal year ended
December 31, 1995 for a discussion of environmental proceedings
relating to the Company.

      As of June 30, 1996, the Company had accrued a total of $720,000
for New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (the "NJDEP")
billed expenditures for the period through January 20, 1995 and the
Company's estimate of unbilled expenditures, which expenditures are
in accordance with a 1992 Administrative Consent Order (the "ACO")
between the NJDEP, the Company, and Thiokol Corporation.  In April
1996, the NJDEP agreed to accept an aggregate payment of $575,000 in
full satisfaction of all financial obligations of the Company accrued
during the period ended June 30, 1996 under the ACO.  The NJDEP also
agreed, upon receipt of such payment, to initiate proceedings to
remove its Spill Act lien on the Company's Rockaway property.

      In the second quarter of 1996, the NJDEP agreed to permit the
Company to expand its pilot study, utilizing the "Clean-Ox" hydrogen
peroxide-based remedial system.  Groundwater remediation using the
CleanOx system was performed during July 1996 at a cost of $220,000.
Assuming positive conclusive test results from the expanded pilot
test, the Company may again petition the NJDEP for a change in the
Remedial Action Work Plan under the 1995 Record of Decision.

      On July 24, 1996, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the
"EPA") offered to settle the Company's involvement in the Nascolite
Corporation superfund site for a one time payment of $32,247 within
30 days of the effective date of a consent decree.  The Company has
advised the EPA that it will accept the offer.
