Note 1 - Financial Statements

     The consolidated balance sheet as of April 2, 1995 and the consolidated
statements of earnings and cash flows for the nine months ended April 2, 1995
and April 3, 1994 have been prepared by the Company, without audit.  In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows at April 2, 1995 and for all periods presented have
been made.  The balance sheet at June 30, 1994 was condensed from audited
financial statements as of that date.

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  These consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's June 30, 1994 Form 
10-K.  The results of operations for the period ended April 2, 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.  Certain
amounts in prior years' quarterly financial statements have been reclassified
to conform to the current presentation.

Note 2 - Acquisitions

     On June 10, 1994, the Company acquired 100% of the Common Stock of
Convac GmbH ("Convac") for approximately $4,700,000.  Convac GmbH is a

     On September 9, 1994, the Company acquired all of the outstanding Common
Stock of Scandinavian Bellyloading Company AB ("SBC").  SBC is the designer
and manufacturer of patented cargo loading systems, which are installed in
the cargo area of commercial aircraft.  Several major airlines are expected
to equip existing fleets with the SBC system over the next three to four
years.  The Company reports the results of SBC as part of its Industrial
Products segment.

     On November 28, 1994 Fairchild Communications Services Company
("Fairchild Communications"), a partnership whose partners are indirect
subsidiaries of the Company, completed the acquisition of substantially all
of the telecommunications assets of JWP Telecom, Inc. ("JWP") for
approximately $11,000,000 plus the assumption of approximately $3,000,000 of
liabilities.  JWP is a telecommunications system integrator, specializing in
manufacturing, distribution, design, installation and maintenance of voice
and data communications equipment.  In the first quarter of Fiscal 1995,
Fairchild Communications acquired all the shared telecommunications assets of
Eaton & Lauth Co., Inc., for approximately $550,000.

</TABLE>
     The Company owns approximately 47.2% of Banner common stock, which is
included in investments and advances-affiliated companies.  The Company
recorded equity earnings of $1,627,000 and $1,307,000 for the nine months
ended April 2, 1995 and April 3, 1994, respectively, from this investment. 
At the close of trading on March 31, 1995, Banner stock was quoted at $4.00
per share.  Based on this price the Company's equity investment in Banner had
an approximate market value of $33,953,000 versus a carrying value of
$54,686,000.  The Company does not believe that this decline in market value
is a permanent impairment.

     On January 18, 1995, the Company purchased approximately a 26.7%
ownership interest in Nacanco common stock for $13,000,000 from the Company's
parent, The Fairchild Corporation ("TFC").  The Company recorded equity
earnings of $514,000, which represents the Company's share of estimated
earnings subsequent to the stock purchase.  Equity earnings prior to the
stock purchase were recorded by TFC.

     On December 23, 1993, the Company completed the sale of its 43.9% stock
interest in Rexnord Corporation ("Rexnord") to BTR Dunlop Holdings, Inc.
("BTR") for $22.50 per share.  Accordingly, the Company received $181,873,000
in gross proceeds and realized a pre-tax gain on the sale of $129,084,000 for
the nine months ended April 3, 1994.  Prior to the sale of Rexnord, the
Company recorded an equity loss of $906,000 on this investment for the nine
month period ended April 3, 1994.

     In connection with the sale of its interest in Rexnord, the Company has
placed shares of Banner, with a fair market value of $25,000,000, in escrow
to secure the Company's indemnification of BTR against a contingent
liability.  Once the contingent liability is resolved the escrow will be
released.

Note 5 - Revolving Credit Facility

     On August 18, 1994, VSI Corporation's (an indirect subsidiary of the
Company) revolving credit facility was reduced by $9,250,000 to provide a
total available facility of $50,250,000, of which $38,999,000 was available
on April 2, 1995.  In addition, (1) the borrowing rate was increased by 1.0%
to generally bear interest at 3.75% over the London Interbank Offer Rate, and
(2) the commitment fee charged on the unused portion of the revolving credit
facility was increased to 1.0%.

Note 6 - Minority Interest in Consolidated Subsidiaries

     The Company includes $23,968,000 and $23,981,000 of minority interest on
its balance sheet at April 2, 1995 and June 30, 1994, respectively, which is
represented by the Series C Preferred Stock of Fairchild Industries, Inc.
("FII"), a majority owned subsidiary.  The Series C Preferred Stock has an
annual dividend requirement of $4.25 per share through July 21, 1999 and
$7.00 per share thereafter.  During the nine months ended April 2, 1995, the
Company purchased 300 shares of FII's Series C Preferred Stock.  Effectively,
there were 557,260 and 557,560 shares authorized, issued and outstanding at
April 2, 1995 and June 30, 1994, respectively.

Note 7 - Redeemable Preferred Stock of Subsidiary

     The Company has classified the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred
Stock of FII as a long-term liability.  The Series A Preferred Stock has a
mandatory redemption value of $45.00 per share and an annual dividend
requirement of $3.60 per share.  During the nine months ended April 2, 1995,
the Company repurchased 16,800 shares of FII's Series A Preferred Stock. 
Effectively, there were 403,901 and 420,701 shares authorized, issued and
outstanding at April 2, 1995 and June 30, 1994, respectively.

Note 8 - Dividend Paid to Parent

     During the nine months ended April 2, 1995 and April 3, 1994, the
Company paid dividends of $10,000,000 in each period to TFC.  The Fiscal 1995
dividends were paid in cash.  The Fiscal 1994 dividend was paid primarily in
the Company's debentures in lieu of cash.

Note 9 - Commitments and Contingencies

Lease Guaranties
- ----------------

     In connection with the sale of Metro Credit Corporation, the Company
remained contingently liable as a guarantor of the payment and performance of
obligations of third party lessees under aircraft leases, which call for
aggregate annual base lease payments of approximately $3,454,000 in Fiscal
1995, and approximately $8,806,000 over the remaining 4-year guaranty period. 
In each case, the Company has been indemnified by the purchasers and lessors
from any losses related to such guaranties.

Government Claims
- -----------------

     Following an investigation by the Inspector General of NASA, the civil
division of the United States Department of Justice alleged improprieties in
years 1982 and 1984 through 1986, in indirect costs rates and labor charging
practices of a former subsidiary of the Company.  The Company settled these
claims with the Department of Justice and agreed to pay $5,000,000, payable
in six equal semi-annual installments, with interest at 6.0% per year.  The
first installment was made in the second quarter of Fiscal 1995.  The unpaid
balance is collateralized by certain excess real estate.

     The Corporate Administrative Contracting Officer (the "ACO"), based upon
the advice of the United States Defense Contract Audit Agency, has made a
determination that FII did not comply with Cost Accounting Standards, in
accounting for (i) the 1985 reversion to FII of certain assets of terminated
defined benefit pension plans, and (ii) pension costs upon the closing of
segments of FII's business.  The ACO has directed FII to prepare a cost
impact proposal relating to such plan terminations and segment closings and,
following receipt of such cost impact proposal, may seek adjustments to
contract prices.  The ACO alleges that substantial amounts will be due if
such adjustments are made. The Company believes it has properly accounted for
the asset reversions in accordance with applicable accounting standards.  The
Company has entered into discussions with the government to attempt to
resolve these pension accounting issues.

Civil Litigation
- ----------------

     Maurice Bidermann Litigation
     ----------------------------

     The Company commenced an action in the United States District for the
Southern District of New York, following the breach by Maurice Bidermann
("Bidermann") of an agreement under which Bidermann was to have paid the
Company an aggregate sum of approximately $22,500,000, of which Bidermann
paid $10,000,000.  Additional installments, of $5,000,000 each, were due from
Bidermann on December 31, 1992, and June 30, 1993, both of which Bidermann
failed to pay.  On July 7, 1993, the United States District Court ordered
Bidermann to pay the Company the full amount of its claim, $12,947,000, plus
interest.  Following receipt of the Court's order, Bidermann filed for
protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code; however, in
the first quarter of Fiscal 1995, on motion of the Company, the Bankruptcy
Court dismissed Bidermann's Chapter 11 proceedings.  Prior to Bidermann's
filing for protection under Chapter 11, and continuing subsequent to the
Bankruptcy Court's dismissal of those proceedings, the Company attached
substantially all assets of Bidermann.  In addition, the Company holds shares
and warrants of Bidermann Industries, USA, Inc., all of which shares and
warrants Bidermann had originally agreed to purchase from the Company for
$22,500,000.  The collectibility of this judgement, which has been affirmed
by the United States Court of Appeals, will depend in part upon the Company's
ability to realize sufficient amounts from its attachments, and the value of
the shares and warrants held.

<PAGE>
Environmental Matters
- ---------------------

     The Company and other aerospace fastener and industrial product
manufacturers are subject to stringent Federal, state and local environmental
laws and regulations concerning, among other things, the discharge of
materials into the environment and the generation, handling, storage,
transportation and disposal of waste and hazardous materials.  To date, such
laws and regulations have not had a material effect on the financial
condition of the Company, although the Company has expended, and can be
expected to expend in the future, significant amounts for investigation of
environmental conditions and installation of environmental control
facilities, remediation of environmental conditions and other similar
matters, particularly in the Aerospace Fasteners segment.

     In connection with its plans to dispose of certain real estate, the
Company must investigate environmental conditions and may be required to take
certain corrective action prior to and pursuant to any such disposition.  In
addition, management has identified several areas of potential contamination
at or from other facilities owned, or previously owned, by the Company, that
may require the Company either to take corrective action or to contribute to
a clean-up.  The Company is also a defendant in certain lawsuits and
proceedings seeking to require the Company to pay for investigation or
remediation of environmental matters and has been alleged to be a potentially
responsible party at various "Superfund" sites.  Management of the Company
believes that it has recorded adequate reserves in its financial statements
to complete such investigation and take any necessary corrective actions or
make any necessary contributions.  No amounts have been recorded as due from
third parties, including insurers, or set off against any liability of the
Company, unless such parties are contractually obligated to contribute and
are not disputing such liability.

Other Matters
- -------------

     The Company is involved in other claims and lawsuits incidental to its
business, some of which involve substantial amounts.  The Company either on
its own or through its insurance carriers is contesting these matters.

     In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of its legal
proceedings, including those discussed above, will not have a material
adverse effect on the financial condition or the future operating results of
the Company.

General
- -------

     Overall sales increased by 33.6% in the third quarter and 19.8% for the
nine month period of Fiscal 1995 compared to sales for the same periods in
Fiscal 1994, which reflected stronger sales performances from all three
business segments.

    Operating income increased $3.1 million in the third quarter and $15.4
million for the nine month period of Fiscal 1995 compared to operating income
for the same periods in Fiscal 1994.  During the Fiscal 1995 current quarter
and nine month periods operating losses decreased significantly in the
Aerospace Fasteners segment primarily due to the Fiscal 1994 nine month
period having included a restructuring charge of $9.9 million recorded in the
second quarter of Fiscal 1994 and a $3.2 million charge for earthquake damage
and related business interruption occurring in the third quarter of Fiscal
1994.  Operating income was up in both the Industrial Products segment and
the Communications Services segment in both current year periods.  (See
discussion below).

<PAGE>
Aerospace Fasteners
- -------------------

     Sales in the Aerospace Fasteners segment increased 12.0% in the third
quarter and 6.2% for the nine month period ended April 2, 1995, compared to
the corresponding Fiscal 1994 periods, primarily resulting from aggressive
management efforts during the nine month period to reduce backlog caused by
quality problems and earthquake disruption, which are diminishing.

     Operating losses in the Aerospace Fasteners segment decreased $1.6
million in the third quarter and $17.5 million for the Fiscal 1995 nine month
period over the corresponding Fiscal 1994 periods; however, this segment
continues to be affected by soft demand and severe price erosion and higher
quality control costs resulting from customers' requirements.  The Fiscal
1995 third quarter loss resulted primarily from excess costs incurred to
reduce the past due sales backlog, which includes many orders of small
quantities at low profit margins.  Certain products have yielded negative
margins due to labor inefficiencies and low prices.  Management is taking
steps to cancel any such orders remaining in the backlog unless improved
pricing can be negotiated.  Management will also continue to reduce the
capacity of the Aerospace Fasteners segment as necessary to bring the
breakeven point in line with demand.  These actions may result in further
restructuring charges in the future.  A restructuring charge of $9.9 million
was recorded in the prior year second quarter period for nonrecurring costs
related to exiting certain aircraft engine bolt lines and $3.2 million in the
prior year third quarter for earthquake loss (see below).

     On January 17, 1994, the Company's Chatsworth, California Aerospace
Fasteners manufacturing facility suffered extensive damage from the Southern
California Earthquake.  This disruption caused increased costs and reduced
revenues in Fiscal 1994 and has negatively affected Fiscal 1995 as well. 
While the Company carries insurance for both business interruption and
property damage caused by earthquakes, the policy has a 5% deductible.  The
Company recorded an unusual pretax loss in Fiscal 1994 of $4.0 million ($3.2
million in the nine month period ended April 3, 1994) to cover the currently
estimated net cost of the damages and business interruption caused by the
earthquake.  Included in prepaids and other current assets is an insurance
claim receivable of $4.9 million for recoverability of costs related to
business interruption and property damage.

Industrial Products
- -------------------

     Sales in the Industrial Products segment increased 38.0% in the third
quarter and 28.3% in the Fiscal 1995 first nine months, compared to the same
Fiscal 1994 periods.  $11.6 million of the net increase in sales in the nine
month period was at the D-M-E Company ("D-M-E"), which provides tooling to
the plastics industry, and reflects customer response to the fast delivery
programs, new products, and growth of the domestic economy.  Domestic demand
for tooling for plastics has been strong while foreign demand has shown signs
of improvement principally reflecting the strengthening European economy. 
Expansion into selected new foreign markets is being pursued and appears to
have potential.  Also included in the Industrial Products segment were sales
from Convac, a semiconductor equipment manufacturing company acquired at the
end of Fiscal 1994, another small acquisition made early in Fiscal 1995 and 
Fairchild Data Corporation.  The combined sales of these companies was $16.0
million in the third quarter and $34.1 million in the Fiscal 1995 first nine
months.

     Operating income in the Industrial Products segment increased 32.6% in
the third quarter and 6.5% in the first nine months of Fiscal 1995, compared
to the same periods in Fiscal 1994.  D-M-E operating income increased 24.1%
in the Fiscal 1995 current quarter.  The remaining increase in operating
income in the current quarter compared to the Fiscal 1994 third quarter
resulted from an increase at Fairchild Data Corporation and the inclusion of
Convac and another operation acquired in Fiscal 1995.  A 24.5% improvement in
operating income at D-M-E for the current nine month period was partially
offset by operating losses from the other operations.  The improved results
at D-M-E resulted from a higher sales volume and improved operating margins. 
In recent years D-M-E has implemented several cost savings steps, including
overhead reduction and improved inventory management programs, which have
contributed to the higher operating margins.  In addition, D-M-E has
continued to implement improved manufacturing methods that have reduced cycle
time and costs.

Communications Services
- -----------------------

     Sales in the Communications Services segment increased 81.3% in the
third quarter and 38.4% in the first nine months of Fiscal 1995, compared
with the same periods in Fiscal 1994, primarily due to the inclusion of sales
from the JWP Telecom, Inc., ("JWP") acquisition made during the Fiscal 1995
second quarter, as well as sales to new customers, the addition of
telecommunications franchises in new office buildings, and growth at existing
sites.

     Operating income in the Communications Services segment increased 24.5%
in the third quarter and 10.0% in the first nine months of Fiscal 1995,
compared to the same periods in Fiscal 1994 primarily due to increased sales
resulting from the reasons given above and related economies of scale.

Other Expense/Income
- --------------------

     Corporate Administrative Expense - FII's and TFC's staff perform work on
behalf of the Company, which is charged out monthly based on the estimated
level of effort.  Corporate administrative expense increased 19.8% in the
current third quarter and 31.8% in the current nine month period compared to
the same periods in the prior year.  This increase in the current year
periods was primarily due to increased FII and TFC staff involvement on
behalf of the Company and its subsidiaries.  Management believes that the
corporate administrative expense of the Company would be higher if it
operated as a separate independent entity.

     Other Corporate Income - Other corporate income decreased $1.0 million
in the third quarter, and $2.5 million in the nine months ended April 2,
1995, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to
increased carrying costs incurred on net assets held for sale in Fiscal 1995. 
Also in the Fiscal 1994 nine month period, gains were realized on corporate
real estate sold.

     Net Interest Expense - Net interest expense decreased 10.6% in the nine
month period ended April 2, 1995, compared to the prior year period.  The
Fiscal 1995 nine month decline was due primarily to lower borrowings and
higher interest income during the Fiscal 1995 period.

     Investment income, net - Investment income was up slightly in the third
quarter, but decreased by $3.6 million in the first nine months, primarily as
a result of recording larger gains realized on the settlement and liquidation
of investments in Fiscal 1994, compared to Fiscal 1995.  Also included in the
Fiscal 1995 nine month periods were $.3 million of dividends realized on
participating annuity contracts, compared to $2.8 million in the
corresponding Fiscal 1994 period.

     Equity in earnings of affiliates increased $1.3 million in the Fiscal
1995 first nine months compared to the prior year period.  The Fiscal 1994
first nine months included a $2.9 million after tax restructuring charge for
Rexnord Corporation, prior to the Company selling its interest in Rexnord
Corporation.  Both current year periods include no earnings or losses for
Rexnord Corporation.

     Minority interest expense includes dividend expense on FII's Series C
Preferred Stock.

     Non-Recurring Income - Non-recurring income in the Fiscal 1994 nine
month period includes the net pre-tax gain of $129.1 million on the Company's
43.9% stock interest in Rexnord Corporation, which was sold to BTR Dunlop
Holdings, Inc. for $22.50 per share on December 23, 1993.

     Income taxes - In the first nine months of Fiscal 1995, the Company
recorded a tax provision of $1.8 million on a pretax loss of $8.2 million. 
A tax provision resulted rather than a tax benefit largely due to the
amortization of goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes.

Accounting Changes:
- -------------------

     1)  Postretirement Benefits - Using the immediate recognition method,
the Fiscal 1994 first nine months after-tax charge to earnings for the
cumulative effect of the accounting change was $.5 million, which represents
the unamortized portion of an overstated liability for discontinued
operations which substantially offset the transition obligation for active
employees and retirees of continuing operations.  In addition, in the Fiscal
1994 first nine months, a $7.5 million charge, net of the Company's related
tax benefit, was recorded for the Company's share of Rexnord Corporation's
cumulative charge resulting from this change in accounting.

     2)  Accounting for Income Taxes - The Company elected the immediate
recognition method and recorded, in the Fiscal 1994 first nine months, a $7.5
million charge, representing the cumulative effect on prior years.  This
charge represents deferred taxes related primarily to fixed assets, prepaid
pension expenses, and inventory differences.  In addition, a $.5 million
charge was recorded for the Company's share of Rexnord Corporation's
cumulative charge resulting from this accounting change.

     Net Earnings (Loss) - The net earnings (loss) decreased $58.9 million in
the first nine months of Fiscal 1995, compared to the first nine months of
Fiscal 1994, primarily due to the $129.1 million net pre-tax gain recognized
from the sale of Rexnord Corporation in the Fiscal 1994 nine month period. 
Partially offsetting the decrease were:  (1) the $15.4 million increase in
operating income in the first nine months of Fiscal 1995, (2) the $16.0
million charge, net of tax, for the cumulative effect of accounting changes,
which was recorded in the first nine months of Fiscal 1994, and (3) a
decrease in taxes of $38.2 million.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Working capital at April 2, 1995, was $110.9 million, which was $30.1
million lower than at June 30, 1994.  The primary reasons for this decrease
included a $71.1 million reduction in cash, primarily required to service
debt and meet operating cash requirements during the first nine months, and
a $14.8 million increase in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities,
primarily the result of acquisitions.  Partially offsetting this reduction
was an increase of $39.8 million in accounts receivable and inventories,
reflecting acquisitions, slower customer payments, inventory build and
increased sales to reduce backlog, and a reduction in current income taxes
payable of $17.3 million, which was reclassified to noncurrent income taxes.

     The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash generated from
operations and borrowings under its credit agreement.  The Company also
expects to generate cash from the sale of certain assets and liquidation of
investments.  Net assets held for sale at April 2, 1995, had a book value of
$30.4 million and included two parcels of real estate in California and an 88
acre parcel of real estate located in Farmingdale, New York, which the
Company plans to sell, lease or develop, subject to the resolution of
environmental matters and market conditions.  In March 1995, the Company sold
one parcel in California for $5.2 million.  Included in long-term investments
at April 2, 1995 is a contractual obligation for the Company to receive $16.3
million from an individual, which obligation has a net carrying amount of
$9.2 million.  The obligation in part, may be satisfied by 7.1% of the
outstanding common stock of Bidermann Industries USA, Inc., a closely held
company, held by the Company.  In addition, the Company has attached
substantially all of the individual's property.  The individual filed for
protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code on July 7, 1993. 
However, in the first quarter of Fiscal 1995, on motion of the Company, the
Bankruptcy Court dismissed the Chapter 11 proceedings.  The Company believes
that liquidation of assets held or attached by the Company will be sufficient
to recover the carrying amount of this investment.  (See Note 9 to the
Financial Statements).

     The Company's principal cash requirements include debt service, capital
expenditures, acquisitions, payment of other liabilities, payment of
dividends on preferred stock and other affiliated transactions.

     The level of the Company's capital expenditures varies from year to
year, depending upon the timing of capital spending for new production
equipment, periodic plant and facility expansion, acquisition of high growth
companies, as well as cost reduction and labor efficiency programs.  For the
nine month period April 2, 1995, capital expenditures, including the cost of
acquisitions, were $25.6 million.  The Company anticipates that total capital
expenditures, including the cost of acquisitions, for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1995 will be approximately $31.6 million.

     Investments and advances in affiliated companies increased $30.6 million
primarily resulting from the Nacanco common stock purchased from TFC, a $20.5
million investment in TFC's outstanding debt and recording equity earnings. 
Offsetting these increases was a $5.5 million decline in market value of the
Company's investment in TFC stock.

     Other assets declined $17.9 million, primarily due to reclassifying
noncurrent taxes to the noncurrent tax liability caption on the balance
sheet.

     Other liabilities that require the use of cash include post-employment
benefits for retirees, environmental investigation and remediation
obligations, and litigation settlements and related costs.

     The Company expects that cash on hand, cash generated from operations,
borrowings and asset sales, and the ability to refinance portions of its
debt, will be adequate to satisfy cash requirements.

     The Company's Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with
certain financial covenants, including achieving cumulative earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, ("EBITDA Covenant"), and
maintaining certain coverage ratios.  The Company was in compliance with the
Credit Agreement as of April 2, 1995.  To comply with the minimum EBITDA
Covenant requirements (as amended) FII's subsidiary, VSI, must earn for the
cumulative total of the trailing four quarters, EBITDA as follows:   $75.0
million for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 1995, $76.6 million for the first
quarter of Fiscal 1996, $78.4 million for the second quarter of Fiscal 1996,
and $80.1 million for the third quarter of Fiscal 1996.  VSI's ability to
meet the minimum requirements under the EBITDA Covenant in Fiscal 1995 is
uncertain, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able in the
future to comply with the minimum requirements under the EBITDA Covenant and
other financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.  Noncompliance with any
of the financial covenants, without cure or waiver, would constitute an event
of default under the Credit Agreement.  An event of default resulting from a
breach of a financial covenant may result, at the option of lenders holding
a majority of the loans, in acceleration of the principal and interest
outstanding, and a termination of the revolving credit line.  However, if
necessary, management believes a waiver can be obtained.

     FII may transfer available cash as dividends to the Company if the
purpose of such dividends is to provide TFC with funds necessary to meet its
debt service requirements under specified notes and debentures.  All other
dividends from FII to the Company are subject to certain limitations under
the Credit Agreement.  As of April 2, 1995, FII was unable to provide
dividends to the Company.  The Credit Agreement also restricts FII from
additional borrowings under the Credit Facilities for the payment of any
dividends.

IMPACT OF FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES

Accounting For The Impairment Of Long-Lived Assets
- --------------------------------------------------
And For Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of
- -------------------------------------------

     In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ("SFAS No. 121") "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of".  SFAS No. 121 establishes accounting standards for the impairment of
long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles, and goodwill related to
those assets to be held and used for long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles to be disposed of.  The Company is currently
analyzing the new standard to determine the timing and effect, if any, on its
consolidated financial statements.  SFAS No. 121 is required to be
implemented by the Company on, or before, July 1, 1996.
