                 REFAC TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION 
           Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
     
    1.   In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (all of 
which were normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
consolidated financial position of REFAC Technology Development Corporation 
(the "Company") at June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, and the results of 
its operations and its cash flows for the three and six month interim periods
presented.   
                                        
          The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in 
Note l to the Company's consolidated financial statements in the Company's 
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994, which is 
incorporated herein by reference.

     2.   The results of operations for the six months and the quarter ended 
June 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected 
for the full year.        

     3.   In accordance with SFAS No. 115, which was adopted January 1, 1994, 
and resulted in a cumulative effect of change in accounting for its trading 
securities, the Company categorizes and accounts for its investment holdings as
follows:         

             Trading securities are securities bought and held for the 
             purpose of selling them in the near term.  Unrealized gains and 
             losses are included in current period earnings.  The Company's 
             investment in marketable securities (principally holdings in 
             preferred stocks and government agency bonds)
             falls into this category.

             Held to maturity securities are measured at amortized cost.  
             This categorization is permitted only if the Company has the 
             positive intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity.
             The Company's investments in U.S. Treasury Bills and Notes fall 
             into this category.

             Available for sale securities are securities which do not 
             qualify as either held to maturity or trading securities.  
             Unrealized gains and losses are reported as a separate component
             of stockholders' equity, net of applicable deferred income taxes
             on such unrealized gains and losses at current income tax rates.
             The Company's investments in securities acquired in association 
             with licensing activities fall into this category.  Such 
             securities at June 30, 1995 consisted of 337,842 shares of 
             Three-Five Systems, Inc. (which trades on the New York Stock 
             Exchange under the symbol TFS) and 798,000 shares of AutoFinance
             Group, Inc. (which trades on the NASDAQ under the symbol AUFN). 
             These securities are recorded at quoted market value without a 
             discount which might be associated with such large blocks of 
             shares.

             of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations
     
Revenues

     Total operating revenues decreased $1,445,000 for the six months ended 
June 30, 1995 as compared to the corresponding period in 1994, and $180,000 
for the second quarter of 1995 versus the same period in the prior year. 
Service revenue accounted for 93% and 52% of operating revenues for the six 
months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Gains on sales of 
securities acquired in association with licensing activities accounted for 7% 
and 48% of operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.  The decrease in gains on sales of securities acquired in
association with licensing activities is due to a decrease in the number of
shares sold in the current period versus the corresponding period of 1994.  
As deemed in the Company's interest and as future market conditions permit,
the Company intends from time to time to sell part of the portfolio of such 
securities.

     Service revenues increased $129,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 
from the corresponding period in 1994 and $251,000 for the second quarter of 
1995 versus the same period in the prior year.  In both cases, the changes
largely resulted from an increase in the size and timing of non-recurring 
revenues which are recognized upon the completion of new, single-payment 
license agreements. Recurring service revenues from established licensing
relationships, which represented approximately 87% of service revenues for the
six month ended June 30, 1995, as compared to 92% in the same period of 1994,
have remained relatively stable as compared to the corresponding period in 
1994. 

     Service expenses represents payments to licensors under contractually 
stipulated terms, and hence tend to increase or decrease as a function of 
service revenues.  Also included in service expenses are various other costs 
directly related to the development, maintenance, and enforcement of patent 
and licensing programs, notably legal and other external professional fees, 
and costs associated with patent research, upkeep and amortization.  Service 
expenses as a percentage of service revenues decreased from 26% in the 
six-month period of 1994 to 21% in the corresponding period of the current 
year, and increased from 13% in the three-month period of 1994 to 16% in the 
corresponding period of the current year.  The decrease in this ratio is 
attributable to a decrease in legal fees and an increase in the profit from
sales of licensed products.

      Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $28,000 for the
six-month period of 1995 versus the comparable period of 1994.  This decrease
includes a decrease in legal fees and various administrative expenses partially
offset by an increase in compensation costs and rent expense.



                REFAC TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
                  Management's Discussion and Analysis
            of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations
                               (Continued)
  
     For the six-months ended June 30, 1995 the Company had gains on its 
marketable securities of $163,000 consisting of realized gains of $5,000 and 
unrealized gains of $158,000 as compared to realized gains of $44,000 and
unrealized losses of $1,183,000 for the corresponding period of 1994.  The 
increase was due to the Company's change of investment strategy from investing
primarily in preferred stocks to investing primarily in U.S. Government bonds
which has a much more stable market price than preferred stocks.
     
     Dividend and interest income decreased by $66,000 for the six-months ended
June 30, 1995 from the corresponding period in 1994. Dividend and interest 
income consist of investment income from the Company's portfolio of marketable
securities.  The year-to-date decline reflects a change in the portfolio 
strategy, shifting resources from preferred stocks to U.S. Treasury Bills and
Notes, which generate less dividends and interest income but are generally
subject to less market risk.  

     The Company's licensing and technology transfer operations are generally 
not directly affected by inflation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

     The Company's liquidity position at June 30, 1995, included cash and cash
equivalents of approximately $1,138,000 and publicly-traded securities and U.S.
Treasury Bills and Notes having a market value of over $13,896,000.  In 
addition, the Company's long-term investment portfolio had a market value of 
over $24,580,000 at June 30, 1995, representing an increase of approximately 
$5,149,000 over the value at December 31, 1994.  This resulted in an increase
to stockholders' equity of approximately $3,411,000, net of related deferred 
income taxes.

      On June 30, 1995, the Company had no non-current debt. Other than the 
commitment under the headquarters premises lease, the Company has no 
significant commitments.  The Company believes its liquidity position is more
than adequate to meet all current and projected financial needs.
