March 31, 1994

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND COMPANY REORGANIZATION
- - ---------------------------------------------------------

Adience, Inc. ("Adience" or "Company") has experienced continued losses from 
continuing operations (before reorganization items) both pre- and post-
emergence under Chapter 11.  In addition, a write down of reorganization value 
in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets was recorded at December 
31, 1993, based on management's belief that a permanent impairment of this 
asset now exists.  The Company is currently seeking to replace and improve the 
terms of its line of credit financing agreement with Congress Financial 
Corporation (Congress) which expires June 30, 1994.

The continued viability of the Company is dependent upon, among other factors, 
the ability to generate sufficient cash from operations, financing, or other 
sources that will meet ongoing obligations over a sustained period.  
Management has prepared detailed operating and financial plans which combine 
multifunctional resources as teams to respond better to customer needs, make 
an investment in product and service opportunities expected to produce a 
greater return on investment, continue a cost control program begun in 1993, 
and assume refinancing of the line of credit arrangement.  Management believes 
that the successful implementation of this plan will enable the Company to 
continue as a going concern for a reasonable period.

There can be no assurance however, that such activities will achieve the 
intended improvement in results of operations or financial position.

A Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code 
(the "Prepackaged Plan") was filed by Adience and the Unofficial Committee of 
Noteholders of Adience on February 22, 1993.  The Prepackaged Plan was 
confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of 
Pennsylvania on May 4, 1993 and consummated on June 30, 1993.

The Prepackaged Plan provided for a restructuring of Adience's capital 
structure and allowed the holders of $66 million aggregate principal amount of 
Adience's 15% Senior Subordinated Notes ("Old Reset Notes") to exchange them 
for $49 million aggregate principal amount of new 11% Senior Secured Notes 
("New Secured Notes") due June 15, 2002, plus common stock representing 55% of 
the outstanding common stock of Adience.  The Prepackaged Plan also included 
forgiveness of accrued interest totaling approximately $8.8 million.  The 
value of the cash and securities distributed was $17.5 million less than the 
allowed claims; the resultant gain was recorded as an extraordinary gain.

NOTE 1 - CONTINUED
- - ------------------

Neither Adience Canada, a wholly-owned subsidiary, or Information Display 
Technology, Inc. (IDT), a majority-owned subsidiary of Adience, guarantee the 
new 11% Notes issued by Adience under the Prepackaged Plan.  The new Notes are 
secured by a lien on all the assets of Adience, including the stock of IDT.

Adience Canada and IDT did not file plans of reorganization.

The sum of allowed claims plus post petition liabilities exceeded the 
reorganization value of the assets of Adience immediately before the date of 
consummation.  Also, the Company experienced a change in control as pre-
reorganization holders of common stock received less than 50% of the new 
common stock issued pursuant to the Prepackaged Plan.  AICPA SOP 90-7, 
Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code 
("SOP 90-7"), requires that under these circumstances, a new reporting entity 
is created and assets and liabilities should be recorded at their fair values.  
This accounting treatment is referred to in these statements as "fresh start 
reporting".  The Company's basis of accounting for financial reporting 
purposes changed on June 30, 1993 as a result of applying SOP 90-7.  
Specifically, application of SOP 90-7 required the adjustment of the Company's 
assets and liabilities to reflect a reorganization value generally 
approximating the fair value of the Company as a going concern on an 
unleveraged basis, the elimination of its retained deficit, and adjustments to 
its capital structure to reflect consummation of the Prepackaged Plan.  Fresh 
start reporting has not been adopted by Adience Canada and IDT.

The consolidated statements of operations and cash flows after June 30, 1993 
are not comparable to the respective financial statements prior to such date, 
accordingly a solid black line has been shown to separate it from prior year 
information since it is not prepared on a comparable basis.

Reorganization value at the June 30, 1993 consummation date was determined by 
management with the assistance of independent advisors.  The methodology 
employed involved estimation of enterprise value (i.e., the market value of 
the Company's debt and shareholders' equity), taking into account a discounted 
cash flow analysis, as well as the capitalization of earnings and cash flow 
approaches.  The discounted cash flow analysis was based on five-year cash 
flow projections prepared by management.

NOTE 1 - CONTINUED
- - ------------------

The five-year cash flow projections were based on estimates and assumptions 
about circumstances and events that have not yet taken place.  Such estimates 
and assumptions are inherently subject to significant economic and competitive 
uncertainties and contingencies beyond the control of the corporation, 
including, but not limited to, those with respect to the future courses of the 
Company's business activity.  Accordingly, there will usually be differences 
between projections and actual results because events and circumstances 
frequently do not occur as expected; and those differences may be material.  
The assumptions included: a rate of sales growth of approximately 2.5% per 
annum in excess of the anticipated rate of inflation; selling, general and 
administrative expenses, after adjustment for non-recurring items, increase in 
line with the rate of sales growth; operating profit margins for each of the 
five years are approximately equal to one half of the average annual operating 
profit margins achieved during the most recent profitable period of 1988-1990; 
and effective tax rates of 33%.

At June 30, 1993, the adjustment to record confirmation of the plan of $23 
million was allocated to assets and liabilities as follows:

Inventories                                                $   1,287
Property, plant and equipment                                 19,448
Reorganization value in excess of amounts
   allocable to identifiable assets                           18,329
Intangible assets                                             (3,032)
Deferred income taxes                                         (1,108)
Additional paid-in capital                                   (10,896)
Prepaid contribution to employee stock ownership plan           (863)
                                                           ----------
                                                            $ 23,165
                                                           ==========

Current assets and liabilities were recorded at fair value.  Property, plant 
and equipment was recorded at reorganization value, which approximated fair 
value in continued use, based on an independent appraisal.  In addition, under 
SOP 90-7, the long-term debt was recorded at present values on June 30, 1993.  
The resulting unamortized discount is being accreted to interest expense over 
the term of the New Secured Notes.

NOTE 1 - CONTINUED
- - ------------------

Based on the allocation of equity value in conformity with SOP 90-7, the 
portion of the equity value which was not attributed to specific tangible or 
identifiable intangible assets of the reorganized Company of $18,329 was 
reported as "reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to 
identifiable assets".  This value was initially being amortized on a straight 
line basis in equal annual amounts over 9 years.  On a quarterly basis, 
management will continue to evaluate the recoverability of the unamortized 
portion of the reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to 
identifiable assets by comparing actual cash flows with the projected cash 
flows used to arrive at the reorganization value.  Should a material 
difference exist, management will then consider whether the assumptions made 
in the preparation of the projected cash flows are still reasonable.  If 
management is of the opinion that new projected cash flows are required and 
that a permanent impairment of the remaining reorganization value has 
occurred, a reduction of some or all of the unamortized value will be 
immediately recognized.

In the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company recorded a charge of $8 million to 
reduce the recorded reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to 
identifiable assets based on management's comparison of actual cash flows 
post-emergence through December 31, 1993, with the projected cash flows used 
to arrive at the reorganization value.  This comparison resulted in the 
preparation of new cash flow projections, which in turn led the Company to the 
conclusion that permanent impairment of the reorganization value has occurred 
and that an immediate reduction of approximately 50% of the remaining 
unamortized value needs to be recognized.

The Company has adopted "fresh start reporting" in accordance with SOP 90-7 in 
preparing its consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1993.  The balance 
sheet became the opening balance sheet for Adience, Inc., as reorganized, on 
July 1, 1993.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Adience have 
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for 
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and 
Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all the 
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles 
for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring 
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  
The consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 
1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for 
the year ended December 31, 1994.

For the three month periods ended March 31, 1994 and 1993 the Company made 
income tax payments totaling $377 and $23, respectively.


NOTE 6 - LINES OF CREDIT
- - ------------------------

On the consummation date of the plan of reorganization, June 30, 1993, Adience 
entered into a financing agreement with Congress through the twelve month 
period ending June 30, 1994.  Under this agreement, Adience may request loan 
advances not to exceed the lesser of $12 million or available collateral (80% 
of eligible accounts receivable less than 90 days plus 30% of raw material and 
finished goods inventory).  The loan is collateralized by accounts receivable, 
inventory, fixed assets, intangible assets and Adience's shares of IDT.  In 
addition, IDT has guaranteed the Adience line of credit and has pledged as 
collateral its own accounts receivable, inventory and equipment.  The interest 
rate on the loan is 2.5% over the prime rate (effective rate of 8.75% at March 
31, 1994).  At March 31, 1994 Adience had borrowed $12,411 under the credit 
facility, including checks in transit of $1,396.

In addition, IDT entered into a financing agreement with Congress, which was 
also subsequently renewed through June 30, 1994.  Under this agreement, IDT 
may request loan advances not to exceed the lesser of $3 million or available 
collateral (80% of eligible accounts receivable less than 90 days plus 30% of 
raw material and finished goods inventory).  The loan is collateralized by 
accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets.  Adience guarantees IDT's 
debt to Congress.  The interest rate on the loan is 2.5% over the prime rate.  
At March 31, 1994, there were no borrowings under this agreement.

Both Adience and IDT pay commitment fees on the unused portion of their credit 
facility of 0.5%.  Under the terms of the financing agreements, both companies 
are required to maintain certain financial ratios and meet other financial 
conditions.  The agreements do not allow the companies to incur additional 
indebtedness, pay cash dividends, make certain investments, advances or loans, 
and limits annual capital expenditures.  As of March 31, 1994, Adience and IDT 
were in compliance with the covenants of their respective agreements.  
Adience's ability to continue to comply with such conditions is dependent upon 
Adience's ability to achieve specified levels of sales, profitable operations 
and borrowing availability. Waivers or amendments may be required in the 
future to ensure compliance.  Inability to achieve compliance could affect 
Adience's access to further borrowings or require it to secure additional 
capital by other means.

Secured Notes are not guaranteed by subsidiaries of Adience.  The New Notes 
are secured by a lien on all the assets of Adience, including the stock of 
IDT.

Adience, on a consolidated basis, has agreed to certain restrictive covenants 
which are ordinary to such financings including, among other things, 
limitations on asset sales, limitations on additional indebtedness and 
restrictions on the payment of dividends.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited) - Continued


NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
- - --------------------------------------

At March 31, 1994, Adience had $1,643 in irrevocable standby letters of credit 
outstanding, not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial 
statements, as guarantees in force for various insurance policies, performance 
and bid bonds.  These instruments are usually for a period of one year or the 
duration of the contract.  The letters of credit reduce Adience's availability 
under the Congress credit facility.

In February 1992, IDT was cited by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency 
(the "Ohio EPA") for violations of Ohio's hazardous waste regulations, 
including speculative accumulation of waste and illegal disposal of hazardous 
waste on the site of its Alliance, Ohio facility.  IDT had $783 accrued at 
December 31, 1993 for the clean up of this site.

In December 1993, IDT and Adience signed a consent order with the Ohio EPA and 
Ohio Attorney General which required IDT and Adience to pay to the State of 
Ohio a civil penalty of $200 (of which IDT paid $175 and Adience paid $25).  
In addition, the consent order requires the payment of stipulated penalties of 
up to $1 per day for failure to satisfy certain requirements of the consent 
order including milestones in the closure plan.  IDT expects that the work to 
be conducted under the closure plan will be substantially completed in 1994, 
subject to IDT receiving all necessary approvals from the Ohio EPA.  At March 
31, 1994, environmental accruals amounted to $746 which represents 
management's reasonable estimate of the amounts remaining to be incurred in 
this matter, including the costs of effecting the closure plan, bonding and 
insurance costs, penalties and legal and consultants' fees.  Since 1991, 
Adience and IDT have together paid $360 (excluding the civil penalty) for the 
environmental clean-up related to the Alliance facility.

Under the acquisition agreement pursuant to which IDT acquired the property 
from Adience, Adience represented and warranted that, except as otherwise 
disclosed to IDT, no hazardous material has been stored or disposed of on the 
property.  No disclosure of storage or disposal of hazardous material on the 
site was made.  Accordingly, Adience is required to indemnify IDT for any 
losses in excess of $250.  IDT has notified Adience that it is claiming the 
right to indemnification for all costs in excess of $250 incurred by IDT in 
this matter, and has received assurance that Adience will honor such claim.  
Adience has reimbursed IDT $266; if Adience is financially unable to honor its 
remaining obligation, such costs would be borne by IDT.

Adience is engaged in various other legal actions arising in the ordinary 
course of business.  Management believes, after discussions with internal and 
external counsel, that the ultimate outcome of the proceedings will not have a 
material adverse effect on Adience's consolidated financial position.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
         and Results of Operations


Reorganization and Fresh-Start Reporting
- - ----------------------------------------

Adience, Inc. has experienced continued losses from continuing operations 
(before reorganization items) both pre- and post-emergence under Chapter 11.  
In addition, a write down of reorganization value in excess of amounts 
allocable to identifiable assets was recorded at December 31, 1993, based on 
management's belief that a permanent impairment of this asset existed.  The 
Company is currently seeking to replace and improve the terms of its line of 
credit financing agreement with Congress Financial Corporation (Congress) 
which expires June 30, 1994.

The continued viability of the Company is dependent upon, among other factors, 
the ability to generate sufficient cash from operations, financing, or other 
sources that will meet ongoing obligations over a sustained period.  
Management has prepared detailed operating and financial plans which combine 
multifunctional resources as teams to respond better to customer needs, make 
an investment in product and service opportunities expected to produce a 
significantly greater return on investment, continue a cost control program 
begun in 1993, and assume refinancing of the line of credit arrangement on 
improved terms.  Management believes that the successful implementation of 
this plan will enable the Company to continue as a going concern for a 
reasonable period.

There can be no assurance however, that such activities will achieve the 
intended improvement in results of operations or financial position.

On February 22, 1993, Adience and the unofficial committee of noteholders of 
Adience filed a "prepackaged" plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the 
United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Reorganization").  The Prepackaged Plan 
was confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District 
of Pennsylvania on May 4, 1993 and consummated on June 30, 1993.

The filing was precipitated by a combination of an overall decline in the 
demand for refractory products and services during 1991 and 1992 caused by a 
decrease in the production of refractory using industries in the United 
States, particularly steel, and losses from discontinued operations.  The 
primary purposes of the Prepackaged Plan were to reduce Adience's debt service 
requirements and overall indebtedness, to realign its capital structure and to 
provide Adience with greater liquidity.  Neither IDT nor Adience Canada, Inc. 
filed a plan of reorganization.










                                       16



<PAGE>
The Prepackaged Plan provided for a restructuring of Adience's capital 
structure and allowed the holders of $66 million aggregate principal amount of 
Adience's Senior Subordinated Reset Notes ("Old Subordinated Notes") to 
exchange them for $49 million aggregate principal amount of new 11% Senior 
Secured Notes ("New Senior Notes") due June 15, 2002, plus common stock 
representing 55% of the outstanding common stock of Adience.  The Prepackaged 
Plan also included forgiveness of outstanding interest totaling approximately 
$8.8 million.  The value of the cash and securities distributed was $17.5 
million less than the allowed claims; the resultant gain was recorded as an 
extraordinary gain.

In connection with the Reorganization described above, Adience applied the 
provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' 
Statement of Position No. 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in 
Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code" ("SOP 90-7") as of June 30, 1993.  
The Company's basis of accounting for financial reporting purposes changed as 
a result of applying SOP 90-7.  Specifically, SOP 90-7 required the adjustment 
of the Company's assets and liabilities to reflect a reorganization value 
generally approximating the fair value of the Company as a going concern on an 
unleveraged basis, the elimination of its accumulated deficit, and adjustments 
to its capital structure to reflect consummation of the Prepackaged Plan.  
Accordingly, the results of operations after June 30, 1993 are not comparable 
to the results of operations prior to such date.


Results of Operations
- - ---------------------


Three Months Ended March 31, 1994 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 
1993.

Net revenues by industry segment for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 
1993 were as follows:

                                   Three Months Ended
                                        March 31,

==============================================================================

Net revenues for the Heat Technology division remained consistent with prior 
period's net revenues.







                                       17



<PAGE>
Included in net revenues for IDT for the period ended March 31, 1993 is one 
large project with incremental revenues of $2.2 million.  This was 
substantially completed in the fourth quarter of 1993.  Also included in the 
period ended March 31, 1993 were $900 of revenues attributable to IDT's 
Kensington division, which was sold during December 1993.  The remaining 
decline is attributable to construction delays caused by extreme weather 
conditions during the winter months.  Construction activity is expected to 
increase during the second and third quarters of 1994.

                                   Three Months Ended

     Total                       $24,313         $25,836          (6)%
==============================================================================

Cost of revenues for the Heat Technology division increased by a higher 
percentage than the net revenue increase for the three months ended March 31, 
1994.  Competitive pressure continues to prevent the Heat Technology division 
from improving its gross margins.  In addition, due to the application of SOP 
90-7 as of June 30, 1993, buildings and machinery and equipment were written 
up by $13 million to fair value, resulting in an increase in depreciation 
expense in the period ending March 31, 1994 of 27%.

Cost of revenues for IDT decreased at a rate comparable to the decrease in net 
revenues.

==============================================================================

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased during the first 
quarter of 1994 as a result of cost containment programs implemented at IDT.  
In addition, on July 1, 1993 the company suspended any future recognition of 
expense related to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) which was 
established during 1989.  Accordingly, Adience has no intention at this time 
to issue more shares of its common stock to the ESOP.  Contributions to the 
ESOP charged to expense for the three months ended March 31, 1993 amounted to 
$228.





                                       18



<PAGE>
Interest expense decreased 37% for the three months ended March 31, 1994 to 
$1.9 million from $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1993.  The 
decrease was primarily due to the restructuring of the Senior Secured Reset 
Notes from $66 million to $49 million and a reduction of interest on the New 
Notes from 15% to 11%.

The Company remains in a net operating loss position.  Therefore, the Company 
does not anticipate that the new tax laws will have a significant effect on 
its result of operations in fiscal 1994.


Liquidity and Sources of Capital
- - --------------------------------

The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash from operations, cash on 
hand, and certain credit facilities available to the Company.

Management of the Company believes that cash on hand and funds from 
operations, together with borrowings under credit facilities described below, 
will be sufficient to cover its working capital, capital expenditure and debt 
service requirements through 1994.  The Company is actively seeking an 
increase in its credit line through its current lender or different financing 
resources. The Company expects average borrowings to increase over 1993 
levels.  The Company intends to seek further to strengthen its financial 
position and increase its financial flexibility and may from time to time 
consider possible additional transactions, including other capital market 
transactions.

Net cash flows used by operating activities totaled $2.5 million for the three 
months ended March 31, 1994 as compared to $700 in the comparable period of 
1993.  The decreased investment in working capital (exclusive of cash and cash 
equivalents) of $3.3 million during 1994 relates primarily to lower trade 
receivable arising from a decrease in sales for IDT and an increase in short-
term borrowings.  Inventory balances for IDT increased by 14% over 1993 levels 
in anticipation of increased sales during the upcoming months.

Capital expenditures used approximately $700 of funds through March 31, 1994.  
During 1993, Adience committed to purchase a new plant facility to expand 
current production of a specific product line.  The estimated total cost of 
this facility and the necessary capital expenditures for machinery and 
equipment is $1.8 million and is expected to be partially financed through the 
Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority.  It is anticipated that 
necessary capital expenditures in future years will not exceed depreciation 
expense but will represent a material use of operating funds.

Adience and IDT together had $2.2 million in available credit as of March 31, 
1994 under their short-term borrowing arrangements with Congress.

Short-term liquidity is dependent, in large part, on general economic 
conditions and the effect on the steel industry.  Due to the cyclical nature 
of the steel business and considering current trends and industry forecasts, 
it appears the period of low steel demand has ended.



                                       19



<PAGE>
On the consummation date of the plan of reorganization, June 30, 1993, Adience 
entered into a financing agreement with Congress for the twelve month period 
ending June 30, 1994.  Under this agreement, Adience may request loan advances 
not to exceed the lesser of $12 million or available collateral (80% of 
eligible accounts receivable less than 90 days plus 30% of raw material and 
finished goods inventory).  The loan is collateralized by accounts receivable, 
inventory, fixed assets, intangible assets and Adience's shares of IDT.  In 
addition, IDT guaranteed the Adience line of credit and has pledged its own 
accounts receivable, inventory and equipment.  The interest rate on the loan 
is 2.5% over the prime rate (effective rate of 8.75% at March 31, 1994).  At 
March 31, 1994 Adience had borrowed $12,411 under the credit facility, 
including checks in transit of $1,396.  Letters of credit issued under the 
facility totaled $943 at March 31, 1994, which reduced the availability under 
the financing arrangement in a like amount.

IDT also renewed its financing agreement with Congress through June 30, 1994.  
Under this agreement, IDT may request loan advances not to exceed the lesser 
of $3 million or available collateral (80% of eligible accounts receivable 
less than 90 days plus 30% of raw material and finished goods inventory).  The 
loan is collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets.  
Adience has guaranteed IDT's debt to Congress.  The interest rate on the loan 
is 2.5% over the prime rate.  At March 31, 1994, no amounts were outstanding 
under this agreement.  Letters of credit issued under the facility totaled 
$700 at March 31, 1994, which reduced the availability under the financing 
arrangement in a like amount.

Both Adience and IDT pay commitment fees on the unused portion of their credit 
facilities.  Under the terms of the financing agreements, Adience is required 
to maintain minimum levels of net worth of $1,500 and working capital of 
$12,000.  The agreements additionally contain other restrictive covenants 
applicable to Adience and its subsidiaries which, among other things, limit 
(i) the incurrence of additional indebtedness, (ii) the granting of liens, 
(iii) the making of loans, investments and guaranties, (iv) transactions with 
affiliates, (v) the payment of dividends and other distributions, (vi) the 
making of annual capital expenditures, and (vii) the disposition of real 
property.

As of March 31, 1994, Adience and IDT were in compliance with the covenants of 
their respective agreements.  Adience's ability to continue to comply with 
such conditions is dependent upon Adience's ability to achieve specified 
levels of sales, profitable operations and borrowing availability.  Waivers or 
amendments may be required in the future.  Inability to achieve compliance 
could affect Adience's access to further borrowings or require it to secure 
additional capital by other means.

Both Adience and IDT anticipate that either the financing agreements with 
Congress will be renewed at June 30, 1994 or, alternatively, both companies 
will be able to secure financing from other sources.







                                       20



<PAGE>
Long-term liquidity is dependent upon the Company's ability to operate 
profitably and generate cash flow following favorable changes made to its 
capital structure and the restructuring of its management structure.  
Adience's New Senior Notes are due in June 2002, and may not be redeemed at 
the option of Adience prior to December 15, 1997.  Adience has not yet 
formulated plans to meet these long-term debt requirements. The Indenture 
under which the New Senior Notes were issued contains restrictive covenants 
similar to those included in the financing agreements with Congress, and 
additionally limits the use of cash proceeds from the sale of Adience's 
assets.  The Indenture provides that Adience may not make any asset sale 
outside of the ordinary course of business unless (i) such asset sale is for 
fair value and (ii) at least 50% of the consideration therefor received by 
Adience is in the form of cash and/or cash equivalents.  In the case of the 
sale by Adience of all or substantially all of the stock of IDT or any other 
asset for which the gross cash proceeds exceed $2 million, Adience is 
required, within 180 days after the receipt of the net cash proceeds of such 
asset sale, to make an offer to repurchase the New Senior Notes at a price 
equal to 100% of the principal amount of the New Senior Notes plus accrued 
interest thereon.  In addition,  a default on the Congress financing agreement 
will result in a default under the Indenture.

Both internal and external factors are material to the Company's long-term 
liquidity.  External factors include general economic conditions, the 
performance of the steel industry and spending by public school systems.  
Long-term liquidity is dependent upon the Company's ability to control costs 
during periods of low demand so as to sustain positive cash flow from 
operations.  The Company, even after Reorganization, continues to operate with 
a significant amount of interest-bearing debt.  Should additional financing be 
needed, the Company's access to new sources of capital or the amount of 
available and unused lines of bank credit may be limited.

In February 1992, IDT was cited by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency 
(the "Ohio EPA") for violations of Ohio's hazardous waste regulations, 
including speculative accumulation of waste and illegal disposal of hazardous 
waste on the site of its Alliance, Ohio Facility.  IDT had $783 accrued at 
December 31, 1993 for the clean-up of this site.

In December 1993, IDT and Adience signed a consent order with the Ohio EPA and 
Ohio Attorney General which required IDT and Adience to pay to the State of 
Ohio a civil penalty of $200 (of which IDT paid $175 and Adience paid $25).  
In addition, the consent order requires the payment of stipulated penalties of 
up to $1 per day for failure to satisfy certain requirements of the consent 
order including milestones in the closure plan.  IDT expects that the work to 
be conducted under the closure plan will be substantially completed in 1994, 
subject to IDT receiving all necessary approvals from the Ohio EPA.  At March 
31, 1994, environmental accruals amounted to $746 which represents 
management's reasonable estimate of the amounts remaining to be incurred in 
this matter, including the costs of effecting the closure plan, bonding and 
insurance costs, penalties and legal and consultants' fees.  Since 1991, 
Adience and IDT have together paid $360 (excluding the civil penalty) for the 
environmental clean-up related to the Alliance facility.
