NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The Randers Group Incorporated and Subsidiaries ("the Company") provide
design, project management, general contracting and development services to
industrial and commercial clients throughout the United States.  The Company
considers such operations to constitute one business segment.

    The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The
Randers Group Incorporated and all of its subsidiaries.  On consolidation all
material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.

    The financial information included herein as of any date other than
December 31, is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods.  Financial
information as of December 31, has been taken from the audited financial
statements of the Company, however, certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.
Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should
be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 1995.

    A portion of the Company's business is derived from long-term contracts,
the income from which is recognized on the percentage-of-completion method.
Results of operations for any quarter may include revisions to estimated
earnings for such contracts that were recorded in prior periods and these
revisions may again be adjusted in subsequent quarters as further information
becomes available or the contracts are completed.

    The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

NOTE 3 - REAL ESTATE HELD FOR RESALE AND NOTES AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE -
AFFILIATE

    The $89,400 of real estate held for resale at June 30, 1996 represents one
of two condominium units that were turned over to the Company as settlement for
advances made to partners of FVALP.  The carrying value of the asset held for
sale approximates the estimated fair market value, less cost to sell, based on
comparable properties.  The estimate of the fair market value of the assets
held for sale is dependent on current market conditions which could change in
the near term.  The amounts the Company could ultimately realize on the sale of
the condominium could differ from the amount estimated.  It is management's
belief that the sale of the condominium unit will not result in any material
adverse impact to the Company's financial statements.

    The Company sold one of the condominium units during the second quarter of
1996 at its book value.

    Notes and accounts receivable from FVALP consist of the following:

</TABLE>

    The notes receivable bear interest at the prime rate (8.25% at June 30,
1996), are comprised of $239,086 representing the remaining balance on a note
receivable the Company accepted when it sold certain assets to FVALP prior to
1993 and a note receivable of $177,426 representing prior accrued interest
receivable on a note due from FVALP.  The $700,693 accounts receivable due from
FVALP resulted from services provided and advances made to FVALP for the joint
development of a condominium project.  Based on cash projections, the
condominium project is expected to provide sufficient cash flows to repay its
borrowings from a bank which the Company has guaranteed, but not the entire
amounts due to the Company.  No impairment has been recognized for the
projected shortfall on the amounts receivables, as the partners of FVALP have
collateralized the receivables with 1,422,000 shares of the Company's common
stock that are collectively owned by the partners of FVALP and FVALP.  These
shares are estimated to have sufficient market value to cover any remaining
balances due from FVALP after the sale of the condominium project.  Management
has not reclassified any portion of the amounts due from FVALP as a contra to
stockholders' equity as it believes that the Company can receive cash or other
assets in full satisfaction of the amounts owed to it by FVALP.

    The Company's accounting for and classification of these amounts is based
on sensitive estimates used to derive FVALP's projected construction costs on
the condominium project, the time the condominiums will be held prior to sale,
interest rates during these periods, the ultimate net sale price that will be
received on the sale of the condominium project, the market value of the
Company's common stock that was provided as collateral and the steps that will
be taken to satisfy the receivables.

    The amounts FVALP ultimately realizes on the sale of the condominium
project and the value of the collateral could differ from the amounts assumed
in arriving at the carrying value and classification of the related
receivables.  It is management's belief that the sale of the condominium
project and the ultimate settlement of the receivables from FVALP will not
result in any material adverse impact to the Company's financial statements.

    Other than interest earned on the notes receivable from FVALP, the Company
has deferred recognizing revenues, costs, and profits associated with
transactions with FVALP until the Company has been reimbursed for all costs
incurred.  Amounts collected from FVALP are treated as a reduction of the
accounts and notes receivable from FVALP.

NOTE 4 - NOTE PAYABLE - BANK

    The Randers Group Incorporated has a line of credit which provides for
advances up to $1,500,000.  The line bears interest at the prime rate.  The
prime rate was 8.5% at December 31, 1995 and 8.25% at June 30, 1996.

    The line of credit is collateralized by all the assets of the Company.  The
loan agreement further provides that the Company is to maintain net worth of at
least $1,500,000.  Unrestricted equity was $2,104,824 at December 31, 1995 and
$2,632,913 at June 30, 1996.

NOTE 5 - CONTINGENCIES

Insurance Coverage

    Due to the limited availability and high cost of professional liability
insurance covering services related to the chemical industry, one of the
Company's subsidiaries does not maintain such insurance.  Management is not
aware of any uninsured claims or potential claims which may be asserted against
the Company.  Although the Company has never incurred a significant liability
because of work performed, there can be no assurances that the Company will not
incur such a liability in the future.

Guarantee

    The Company has guaranteed the payment of a $475,000 line of credit by a
bank to First Venture Associates Limited Partnership (FVALP), an affiliated
company.  There was $456,625 outstanding on the line at December 31, 1995 and
June 30, 1996.  The loan relates to the joint development of a condominium
project by FVALP and the Company.

NOTE 6 - NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

    Net income (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted
average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding

                MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                     CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    The Company's construction and service/consulting operations normally do
not require a significant investment in property and equipment or other
long-term assets.  Short-term needs for cash may develop as the
service/consulting operations expands and cash is consumed by operations prior
to the collection of the related revenue.  Construction operations may provide
temporary cash resources as amounts payable to subcontractors and suppliers are
normally not due until after the related receivable from the client is
collected.

    The Company's rental operations have required a significant investment in
real estate.  These operations have been primarily financed by long-term debt.

    The Company's June 30, 1996 balance sheet includes various amounts  related
to the Company's activities with First Venture Associates Limited Partnership
(FVALP), an entity owned by four of the Company's officers/directors.  Such
amounts include $89,400 of real estate held for sale, notes receivable and
accrued interest receivable from FVALP of $416,512 and $46,942, respectively,
and accounts receivable from FVALP of $700,693.  In addition, the Company has
guaranteed FVALP's borrowings under its line of credit.  Such borrowings
amounted to $456,625 at June 30, 1996.

    The $89,400 of real estate held for sale represents one of two condominium
units that were turned over to the Company as settlement for advances made to
partners of FVALP.  The carrying value of the asset held for sale approximates
the estimated fair market value less costs to sell based on comparable
properties.  The estimate of the fair market value of the asset held for sale
is dependent on current market conditions which could change in the near term.
The amounts the Company could ultimately realize on the sale of the
condominiums could differ from the amounts estimated.  It is management's
belief that the sale of the condominium unit will not result in any material
adverse impact to the Company's financial statements.  The Company sold one of
the condominium units during the second quarter of 1996 at its book value.

    The $416,512 notes receivable balance is comprised of $239,086 representing 
the remaining balance on a note receivable the Company accepted when it sold
certain assets to FVALP prior to 1993 and a note receivable of $177,426
representing prior accrued interest receivable on a note due from FVALP. The
$700,693 accounts receivable due from FVALP resulted from services provided and
advances made to FVALP for the joint development of a condominium project. 
Based on cash projections, the condominium project is expected to provide
sufficient cash flows to repay its borrowings from a bank which the Company has

guaranteed, but not the entire amounts due to the Company.  No impairment has
been recognized for the projected shortfall on the amounts receivables, as the
partners of FVALP have collateralized the receivables with 1,422,000 shares of
the Company's common stock that are collectively owned by the partners of FVALP
and FVALP.  These shares are estimated to have sufficient market value to cover
any remaining balances due from FVALP after the sale of the condominium
project.  Management has not reclassified any portion of the amounts due from
FVALP as a contra to stockholders' equity as it believes that the Company will
receive cash or other assets in full satisfaction of the amounts owed to it by
FVALP.

    The Company's accounting for and classification of these amounts is based
on sensitive estimates used to derive FVALP's projected construction costs on
the condominium project, the time the condominiums will be held prior to sale,
interest rates during these periods, the ultimate net sale price that will be
received on the sale of the condominium project, the market value of the
Company's common stock that was provided as collateral and the steps that will
be taken to satisfy the receivables.

    The amounts FVALP ultimately realizes on the sale of the condominium
project and the value of the collateral could differ from the amounts assumed
in arriving at the carrying value and classification of the related
receivables.  It is management's belief that the sale of the condominium
project and the ultimate settlement of the receivables from FVALP will not
result in any material adverse impact to the Company's financial statements.

    Operations for the first six months of 1996 resulted in a $477,000 increase
in cash.  A net profit of $528,000 combined with non-cash expenses of $157,000
and a $147,000 increase in accrued expenses was more than sufficient to offset
a $62,000 increase in accounts and notes receivable and prepaid expenses, and a
$293,000 decrease in accounts payable and billings in excess of costs and
estimated earnings on contracts in progress.  An additional $148,000 of cash
came from the sale of one of the condominium units owned by the Company and
$19,000 cash was collected on a note receivable from an affiliate.  During the
period the $143,000 of cash was invested in new equipment, $403,000 was used to
reduce debt, and $65,000 was advanced to an affiliate.  The forgoing resulted
in a $33,000 increase in cash during the first six months of 1996.

    In June 1995, the Company opened an office in Springfield, Massachusetts.
The Company has not incurred any major commitments for capital expenditures
related to the new office, however, cash may be consumed during the initial
operations as funds are converted into accounts receivable.  As of June 30,
1996, there were five people employed in the Springfield office while a
significant portion of the work generated from that location was still being
done in other offices.

    Also during June, 1995, the Company announced that it had formed a new
subsidiary, Viridian Technology, Inc., to design and manufacture modular
process equipment systems for the chemical and process related industries.  The
new business is not expected to require a significant cash investment as the
Company plans to sell the systems on a basis requiring progress payments which
approximate out of pocket costs and that, at least initially, the manufacturing
of the systems will be sub-contracted to others.  Management does not expect
that Viridian will have a material impact on revenues or profits in the near
future.

    Management is not aware of any known trends, demands, commitments, events,
or uncertainties, other than the following, which will result in the Company's
liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.

    The Company has a line of credit with a bank which provides for advance up
to $1,500,000.  At June 30, 1996, the Company had outstanding borrowings of
$1,020,000 on the line.  Management expects that the line of credit, which
expires March 31, 1997, will be renewed under similar terms and conditions.

    In January 1998, the Company will be required to pay the remaining balance
on a mortgage note.  It is estimated that the balance will be $970,000 at that
time.  To satisfy the debt requirement, the Company anticipates that a new
source of long-term financing will be secured or the current agreement will be
extended.

    The Company does not have any material commitment for capital expenditures
which are outside the ordinary course of business.  However, an affiliated
company is expected to borrow an additional $18,000 from a bank for further
development of a condominium project.  The additional borrowings by the
affiliate will increase the Company's guarantee of its debt to $475,000.  If
the affiliate receives sales commitments for the planned units, the Company may
provide additional short-term financing to the affiliate in order to complete
construction of those units.

    Management does not contemplate or expect any change in capital resources
of the Company, including any material changes in the mix or relative cost of
such capital resources or any changes between debt and equity except as
discussed.  Accordingly, management expects that other future cash flow needs
will be provided primarily from operations.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1995

    Revenues for the first six months of 1996 were $5,656,000 compared to
$5,211,000 for the same period in 1995. Construction revenues decreased
$1,397,000 (79.1%) while revenues from service/consulting fees increased
$1,835,000 (55.8%).  Construction revenues continued to experience a decline as
construction revenues from the Company's traditional client base remains low.
Management believes however, that the Company's expanded client base for
service/consulting services will help return construction revenues to their
prior levels.  The increase in service/consulting revenues results from
expansion of the Company's client base and from additional work from its
existing clients.

    The Company reported an operating profit of $880,000 during the first six
months of 1996 compared to an operating loss of $12,000 during the same period
of 1995.  Construction operations reported a gross loss of $5,000 (1.3%)
compared to a gross profit of $108,000  (6.1%) for 1995. The loss from
construction operations for the first six months of 1996 resulted from a
$35,000 adjustment on a project completed in the first quarter of 1996. Gross
profit from service/consulting fees was $1,743,000 (34.0%) for the first six
months of 1996 compared to $724,000 (22.0%) in 1995.  The increase in the gross
profit percentage resulted primarily from increased staff utilization related
to the increased volume of work.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses were $910,000 for the first
six months of 1996, compared to $888,000 for the first six months of 1995, an
increase of $21,000 (2.4%).   The increase in selling, general and
administrative cost results primarily to the fact that such costs for 1995 were
reduced by a $59,000 write off of a deferred credit related to the closing of
the Chicago office.  Such costs were 16.1% of revenue in 1996 compared to 17.0%
of revenue of 1995.

    Net interest expense was $42,000 for the first six months of 1996 compared
to net interest expense of $92,000 in 1995.  Approximately 50% of the decrease
in interest expense results from an decrease in net borrowing, while the other
50% relates to a decrease in interest rates.
