                SPX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   JUNE 30, 1995 (Unaudited)

3.   In  April, the company announced its intention to  sell  SPX
     Credit  Corporation.   This sale  is  anticipated  to  occur
     during  the  third  quarter.  Negotiations  with  interested
     parties  are  currently proceeding. These negotiations  have
     not  progressed sufficiently to determine whether a gain  or
     loss  will be realized on this sale.  The company  does  not
     believe that the gain or loss on this sale will be material.
     Proceeds from this sale will be used to reduce debt.

     The  results of operations, net of taxes, and the net assets
     of  SPX Credit Corporation are presented in the accompanying
     consolidated   financial  statements   as   a   discontinued
     operation.  Consolidated interest expense has been allocated
     based  upon  the ratio of the net assets of the discontinued
     operation to the consolidated capitalization of the company.
     Income   taxes  have  been  allocated  to  the  discontinued
     operation at approximately 41% of pretax income.  No general
     corporate  expenses have been allocated to the  discontinued
     operation.   The  results of operation of  the  discontinued
     operation  are not necessarily indicative of the results  of
     operations  which may have been obtained had continuing  and
     discontinued operations been operating independently.

     The  following summarizes the results of operations and  net
     assets of SPX Credit Corporation for the periods indicated:

      On  the  following  pages, revenues, operating  income  and
related  items are discussed by segment.  The following  provides
explanation  of general corporate expenses and other consolidated
items that are not allocated to the segments.

     General Corporate expense

      These  expenses  represent  general  unallocated  expenses.
Second quarter of 1995 includes a $1.8 million charge related  to
early retirement of three officers and severance costs associated
with six employees at the corporate office.

     Other expense (income), net

      Represents  expenses not included in the  determination  of
operating   results,  including  gains  or  losses  on   currency
exchange,  translation  gains or losses  due  to  translation  of
financial statements in highly inflationary countries,  the  fees
incurred  on the sale of accounts receivable under the  company's
accounts  receivable securitization program, gains or  losses  on
the  sale  of fixed assets and unusual non-operational  gains  or
losses.

     Interest Expense, net

      The second quarter 1995 interest expense, net reflects  the
debt structure in place after the 1994 refinancing.  The level of
interest  expense,  $9.1  million, was comparable  with  interest
expense   of  the  third  and  fourth  quarters  of  1994.    The
refinancing was completed during the second quarter of  1994  and
included obtaining the $225 million revolving credit facility and
issuance of $260 million of senior subordinated notes.

     Provision for Income Taxes

      The  second  quarter  1995 effective income  tax  rate  was
approximately 41%, which reflects the company's current estimated
rate for the year.

     Income from discontinued operations

      During the first quarter of 1995, the company announced its
intention  to  sell  SPX  Credit  Corporation.   This  action  is
progressing  and  is expected to be completed  during  the  third
quarter of 1995.  As a result, the results of operations  of  SPX
Credit  Corporation, net of allocated interest and income  taxes,
are presented as a discontinued operation.

     Extraordinary loss, net of taxes

      Late  in  the first quarter of 1995, the company  began  to
repurchase some of its 11 3/4% senior subordinated notes.   These
notes  have  been purchased in the market at a premium  and  this
premium,  net  of income taxes, is included as the  extraordinary
loss.   During  the second quarter of 1995, $6 million  of  notes
were purchased at a premium of $338,000.

</TABLE>

     Revenues

      Second  quarter  1995 revenues increased $6.3  million,  or
4.3%,  from the second quarter of 1994.  The primary reasons  for
the  increase  were  continued strength  in  the  base  specialty
service  tool  sales including electronic and mechanical  program
tools  and  dealer equipment.  Additionally, sales  of  hydraulic
tools  continue to be strong and are up significantly  over  last
year.

      The  above increases in revenue levels were offset somewhat
by  lower  European revenues and lower revenues from  refrigerant
recycling and recovery equipment. Also negatively impacting sales
of  engine diagnostic equipment in the first six months  of  1995
was the effect of market uncertainties associated with delays  in
state  emission testing programs. Sales of engine diagnostic  and
gas emission testing equipment are closely related.

     Gross Profit

     Second quarter 1995 gross profit as a percentage of revenues
("gross  margin") of 32.9% was lower than the 33.3% gross  margin
in 1994.  The decrease in the gross margin was primarily a result
of  product mix.  In addition, refrigerant recycling and recovery
equipment sales, which have higher gross margins, were  lower  in
the second quarter of 1995.

<PAGE>   9

     Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A")

     Second quarter 1995 SG&A expense was $38.4 million, or 25.1%
of  revenues, compared to $37.5 million, or 25.5% of revenues, in
1994.   Second quarter 1995 SG&A compares favorably to last  year
as  a  percentage  of  revenues as  benefits  of  cost  reduction
programs  are  being  realized.  Some  additional  administrative
costs are being incurred to facilitate further cost reductions.

     Goodwill/Intangible Amortization

       Noncash  goodwill  and  intangible  amortization   results
primarily from excess purchase price over fair value of assets in
acquisitions.

     (Earnings) from equity interests

      Represents the equity earnings of JATEK, a 50% owned  joint
venture  in Japan.  JATEK's business was very slow in  the  first
half of 1994 reflecting economic conditions in Japan.  The second
quarter  of  1995 reflects the continued improvement  in  results
that began in the last half of 1994.

     Operating Income

      1995  second quarter operating income of $10.8 million  was
higher  than  second  quarter  1994  operating  income  of  $10.1
million.   This  increase was due to the increased revenue  level
mitigated  by the lower gross margins that were due, principally,
to product mix.

</TABLE>

     Revenues

      Second quarter 1995 revenues were up $1.3 million, or 1.0%,
over second quarter 1994 revenues.  The increase was attributable
to  continued increases in solenoid valve sales, higher  European
revenues principally resulting from the translation effect of the
weaker  U.S. dollar, and increased die-casting metal costs passed
on to customers.  The increased die-casting metal prices are tied
to   the   market  prices  for  the  metal  and  do  not   effect
profitability  as  the company's cost rises by the  same  amount.
The second quarter revenues were reduced by the loss of hydraulic
valve  train  business with a major customer and by the  loss  of
sales  associated  with the January sale of the company's  export
aftermarket distribution business.

      The  domestic original equipment automotive and light truck
market  and  the automotive aftermarket continued to  be  strong,
which contributed to the continuing strong overall revenue level.
Europe's automotive industry continues to improve.

     Gross Profit

      Second quarter 1995 gross margin of 12.9% compares  to  the
second  quarter  1994  gross margin of  15.0%.   Several  factors
contributed to this decrease as follows:

    The previously mentioned metal cost and pricing pass through
  to  customers reduced gross margins as the increase in revenues
  equals the increase in costs.

    The  valve train business has incurred lost production  and
  downsizing  costs  due  to the loss of  hydraulic  valve  train
  business with a major customer. Replacement business demand has
  been slower than originally anticipated, resulting in additional
  unabsorbed manufacturing costs.

     SP  Europe  incurred additional costs associated  with  the
  ongoing process to achieve profitability.

      The  die-casting  facilities  incurred  incremental  costs
  associated  with  product changeovers at one its  manufacturing
  facilities.

     Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A")

      SG&A  was $7.5 million, or 5.3% of revenues, in the  second
quarter of 1995 compared to $7.5 million, or 5.4% of revenues, in
1994.   This  reflects the segment's continuing cost  containment
efforts as the dollar amounts of SG&A in the comparative quarters
are essentially the same.

     Goodwill/Intangible Amortization

      Goodwill  and intangible amortization was a result  of  the
excess purchase price over the fair value of assets recorded upon
the acquisition of 51% of SPT at the end of 1993.  Second quarter
1994  goodwill  and intangible amortization was  lower  than  the
second  quarter  of  1995  as the company  was  recording  income
related  to  negative goodwill associated with SP  Europe.   This
reversal  of negative goodwill was completed at the  end  of  the
second  quarter  of 1994.  The second quarter  1995  expense  was
comparable with the third and fourth quarters of 1994.

     Minority interest (income)

      This  reflects the 30% partner's minority interest  in  the
results  of  SP Europe.  SP Europe continued to incur significant
losses  in the second quarter of 1995.  The company continues  to
reconfigure   SP   Europe's  operations  in  order   to   achieve
profitability.  The second quarter of 1995 results of  SP  Europe
include  additional  costs to change manufacturing  processes  to
improve operating results.

     (Earnings) from equity interests

      Earnings from equity interests include the company's  share
of earnings or losses in RSV, Promec, IBS Filtran and Allied Ring
Corporation  ("ARC").   The  increase  in  second  quarter   1995
earnings  from equity interests over the second quarter  of  1994
was  due  to  continued  profitability  at  Promec  and  improved
profitability  at  IBS  Filtran  and  ARC.   RSV's  losses   were
comparable  to the second quarter of 1994 as this unit  continues
through its development phase.

     Operating Income

      Second  quarter  1995 operating income  was  $11.0  million
compared  to  $13.6 million in the second quarter of  1994.   The
$2.6 million decrease was attributable to the die-casting product
changeovers,  the  impact of the loss of  hydraulic  valve  train
business  with  a  major customer and incremental  process  costs
incurred at SP Europe.

      On  the  following  pages, revenues, operating  income  and
related  items are discussed by segment.  The following  provides
explanation  of general corporate expenses and other consolidated
items that are not allocated to the segments.

     General Corporate expense

      These expenses represent general unallocated expenses.  The
first  six months of 1995 includes a $1.8 million charge  related
to  early  retirement  of  three  officers  and  severance  costs
associated with six employees at the corporate office.

     Other expense (income), net

      Represents  expenses not included in the  determination  of
operating   results,  including  gains  or  losses  on   currency
exchange,  translation  gains or losses  due  to  translation  of
financial statements in highly inflationary countries,  the  fees
incurred  on the sale of accounts receivable under the  company's
accounts  receivable securitization program, gains or  losses  on
the  sale  of fixed assets and unusual non-operational  gains  or
losses.   In the first quarter of 1995, a $1.5 million  gain  was
recorded  on  the  sale  of  the  company's  aftermarket   export
distribution  business.  1994 annual revenues  of  this  business
were  approximately $14 million.  Prospectively, the company will
sell  the products previously sold through this business  to  the
buyer rather than directly to the aftermarket.

<PAGE>  12
  
     Interest Expense, net

      The first six months of 1995 interest expense, net reflects
the  debt  structure  in place after the 1994  refinancing.   The
level  of  interest expense, $18.3 million, was  comparable  with
interest  expense of the third and fourth quarters of 1994.   The
refinancing was completed during the second quarter of  1994  and
included obtaining the $225 million revolving credit facility and
issuance of $260 million of senior subordinated notes.

     Provision for Income Taxes

      The  first  six months 1995 effective income tax  rate  was
approximately 41%, which reflects the company's current estimated
rate for the year.

     Income from Discontinued Operation

      During the first quarter of 1995, the company announced its
intention  to  sell  SPX  Credit  Corporation.   This  action  is
progressing  and  is expected to be completed  during  the  third
quarter of 1995.  As a result, the results of operations  of  SPX
Credit  Corporation, net of allocated interest and income  taxes,
are  presented as a discontinued operation.  The first six months
of  1995  results  are  lower  than  1994  due  to  higher  costs
associated with repossessed leases.

     Extraordinary loss, net of taxes

      Late  in  the first quarter of 1995, the company  began  to
repurchase some of its 11 3/4% senior subordinated notes.   These
notes  have  been purchased in the market at a premium  and  this
premium,  net  of income taxes, is included as the  extraordinary
loss.  During the first six months of 1995, $9.5 million of notes
were purchased at a premium of $456,000.

     Revenues

      First  six months 1995 revenues increased $2.3 million,  or
1.0%, from the first six months of 1994.  The primary reasons for
the  increase  were  continued strength  in  the  base  specialty
service  tool  sales including electronic and mechanical  program
tools  and  dealer equipment.  Additionally, sales  of  hydraulic
tools  continue to be strong and are up significantly  over  last
year.

<PAGE>  13

      The  above  reasons for the increased revenue  levels  were
mitigated  by lower European revenues, particularly gas  emission
equipment   in  Germany,  and  lower  revenues  from  refrigerant
recycling  and  recovery  equipment.  Also  negatively  impacting
sales  of engine diagnostic equipment in the first six months  of
1995  was  the  effect  of market uncertainties  associated  with
delays  in  state  emission  testing programs.  Sales  of  engine
diagnostic  and  gas  emission  testing  equipment  are   closely
related.

     Gross Profit

      First  six  months of 1995 gross profit as a percentage  of
revenues ("gross margin") of 32.3% was lower than the 33.1% gross
margin in 1994.  The decrease in the gross margin was primarily a
result  of  product  mix.   First six months  of  1995  sales  of
electronic  service  tools consisted of a greater  percentage  of
purchased  product  which  carry  a  lower  gross  margins   than
manufactured  product.  In  addition, refrigerant  recycling  and
recovery  equipment sales, which have higher gross margins,  were
lower in the first six months of 1995.

     Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A")

      First six months of 1995 SG&A expense was $76.9 million, or
26.6%  of  revenues,  compared to  $76.1  million,  or  26.6%  of
revenues,  in 1994.  1995 SG&A compares favorably to  1994  after
noting  that 1995 research and development costs in 1995 exceeded
1994  by  $1.7 million and that 1995 SG&A included a $1.1 million
charge   for   downsizing  severance  costs  at  the   Automotive
Diagnostics  division during the first quarter.   The  additional
$1.7  million in R&D spending was attributable to development  of
the newer gas emissions testing products and hand-held diagnostic
equipment  which are planned to be sold over the balance  of  the
year.    The   downsizing  at  Automotive  Diagnostics   involved
approximately  140  people  and addressed  delays  in  the  state
vehicle  emissions  testing programs as well as  additional  cost
reductions to improve future profitability at the unit.

     Goodwill/Intangible Amortization

       Noncash  goodwill  and  intangible  amortization   results
primarily from excess purchase price over fair value of assets in
acquisitions.

     (Earnings) from equity interests

      Represents the equity (earnings) or losses of JATEK, a  50%
owned joint venture in Japan.  JATEK's business was very slow  in
the  first half of 1994 reflecting economic conditions in  Japan.
The  first  six months of 1995 reflects the continued improvement
in results that began in the last half of 1994.

     Operating Income

      1995 first six months operating income of $13.9 million was
lower  than  first six months of 1994 operating income  of  $16.1
million.   Before  the  effect  of  the  increased  research  and
development  spending  and the Automotive Diagnostics'  severance
charge  ($2.8  million combined), the lower  gross  margins  were
virtually offset by reduced SG&A expenses.

     Capital Expenditures

       First  six  months  of  1995  capital  expenditures   were
comparable  to the first six months of 1994 capital expenditures.
The  company continues to invest in manufacturing capability  and
systems  to  better  support customers.  Full year  1995  capital
expenditures are expected to approximate $8 million.

<PAGE>  14

     Identifiable Assets

     Identifiable assets at June 30, 1995 increased approximately
$14  million  from year-end 1994.  The increase was predominately
accounts  receivable and inventories.  The increase  in  accounts
receivable was a result of higher revenues in the second  quarter
1995  compared  to  the  fourth  quarter  of  1994.   Days  sales
outstanding  in accounts receivable are approximately  65  to  70
days  for the segment.  The increase in inventories was a  result
of  delays  in  state emissions testing programs and  the  normal
buildup of inventory to support higher business activity.

</TABLE>

     Revenues

      First six months of 1995 revenues were up $6.9 million,  or
2.5%,  over first six months of 1994 revenues.  The increase  was
attributable  to  continued increases in  solenoid  valve  sales,
higher   European   revenues  principally  resulting   from   the
translation effect of the weaker U.S. dollar, and increased  die-
casting  metal costs passed on to customers.  The increased  die-
casting metal prices are tied to the market prices for the  metal
and  do  not effect profitability as the company's cost rises  by
the  same  amount.   The first six months of 1995  revenues  were
reduced  by  the  loss of hydraulic valve train business  with  a
major  customer  and  by the loss of sales  associated  with  the
January  sale  of  the company's export aftermarket  distribution
business.

      The  domestic original equipment automotive and light truck
market  and  the automotive aftermarket continued to  be  strong,
which contributed to the continuing strong overall revenue level.
Europe's  automotive industry continues to improve.  The  company
expects  overall revenues to continue at relatively  high  levels
for the balance of 1995.

     Gross Profit

      First six months of 1995 gross margin of 12.1% compares  to
the  first  six  months of 1994 gross margin of  14.5%.   Several
factors contributed to this decrease as follows:

<PAGE>  15

    The previously mentioned metal cost and pricing pass through
  to  customers reduced gross margins as the increase in revenues
  equals the increase in costs.

      During   the   first   quarter,  the   company   purchased
  approximately  $6  million  of inventory  from  an  aftermarket
  customer  and began to package this inventory for the customer.
  The  inventory is anticipated to be resold over the next twelve
  months  at normal margins.  A $1.2 million charge was taken  to
  record this inventory at the company's standard inventory cost.

     The  valve train business has incurred lost production  and
  downsizing  costs  due  to the loss of  hydraulic  valve  train
  business with a major customer. Replacement business demand has
  been slower than originally anticipated, resulting in additional
  unabsorbed manufacturing costs.

     SP  Europe recorded approximately $1.0 million in severance
  charges during the first six months and incurred additional costs
  associated with the ongoing process to achieve profitability.

      The  die-casting  facilities  incurred  incremental  costs
  associated  with  product changeovers at one its  manufacturing
  facilities.

     Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A")

      SG&A  was $15.2 million, or 5.4% of revenues, in the  first
six  months  of  1995  compared to  $15.3  million,  or  5.6%  of
revenues,  in 1994.  This reflects the segment's continuing  cost
containment  efforts  as  the  dollar  amounts  of  SG&A  in  the
comparative quarters are essentially the same.

     Goodwill/Intangible Amortization

      Goodwill  and intangible amortization was a result  of  the
excess purchase price over the fair value of assets recorded upon
the  acquisition  of 51% of SPT at the end of  1993.   First  six
months of 1994 goodwill and intangible amortization is lower than
the  first six months of 1995 as the company was recording income
related  to  negative goodwill associated with SP  Europe.   This
reversal  of negative goodwill was completed at the  end  of  the
second quarter of 1994.  The first six months of 1995 expense was
comparable with the third and fourth quarters of 1994.

     Minority interest (income)

      This  reflects the 30% partner's minority interest  in  the
results  of  SP Europe.  SP Europe continued to incur significant
losses  in  the  first  half of 1995.  The company  continues  to
reconfigure   SP   Europe's  operations  in  order   to   achieve
profitability.  SP Europe's first six months of 1995  included  a
$1.0  million severance charge and additional costs necessary  to
change manufacturing processes to improve operating results.

     (Earnings) from equity interests

      Earnings from equity interests include the company's  share
of earnings or losses in RSV, Promec, IBS Filtran and Allied Ring
Corporation  ("ARC").  The increase in first six months  of  1995
earnings from equity interests over the first six months of  1994
was  due  to  continued  profitability  at  Promec  and  improved
profitability  at  IBS  Filtran  and  ARC.   RSV's  losses   were
comparable to the first half of 1994 as RSV continues through its
development phase.

<PAGE>  16

     Operating Income

      First  six  months 1995 operating income was $20.0  million
compared  to $25.1 million in the first six months of 1994.   The
$5.1 million decrease includes the $1.2 million charge associated
with the inventory purchase from the aftermarket customer and the
$1.0  million  of  severance costs recorded  at  SP  Europe.  The
balance of the reduction in operating profit was attributable  to
the  die-casting product changeovers, the impact of the  loss  of
hydraulic  valve  train  business  with  a  major  customer   and
incremental process costs incurred at SP Europe.

     Capital Expenditures

      Capital  expenditures in the first six months of 1995  were
$14.7  million and $14.6 million in the first six months of 1994.
Significant capital improvements were in process during late 1994
and  carried  over  into  the first six months  of  1995.   These
projects  include  an  additional solenoid valve  assembly  line,
additional  die-casting capacity for high strength  heat  treated
aluminum die-castings for air bag steering columns and additional
automated cylinder sleeve casting and machining capacity to  meet
the   demand   for   aluminum  block  engine   liners.    Capital
expenditures  for 1995 are expected to approximate  $22  million,
and as such, will be significantly lower during the last half  of
1995.

     Identifiable Assets

     Identifiable assets increased approximately $16 million from
year-end 1994.  The increase was attributable to higher inventory
($6  million), higher accounts receivable ($7 million),  and  the
significant capital expenditures for the first half.  The  higher
inventory was attributable to anticipated third quarter demand as
well  as  the purchase of inventory from an aftermarket  customer
for  packaging to be performed by the company in the future.  The
higher accounts receivable are due to higher revenue activity  in
the  second quarter compared to the fourth quarter of  1994.   As
the normal cycle of business activity subsides later in the year,
the accounts receivable and inventory levels should decrease.

Factors That May Affect Future Results

Impact of the Clean Air Act and Other Environmental Regulations -
During  the  first  half  of  1995,  many  delays  by  states  in
implementing   Federally  mandated  emissions  testing   programs
occurred.   These delays or modifications in the  state  programs
reduced  the  company's expected revenues from vehicle  emissions
testing equipment in the first half of 1995.  While uncertainties
still  exist  as  to  when  the states will  proceed  with  these
emissions testing programs, the company believes that the  states
will  begin implementation within the next few quarters.  At that
time,  the company should share in a significant portion of  this
substantial market.

Equity Offering - During April of 1995, the company announced its
intention  to file a Shelf Registration Statement with  the  U.S.
Securities  and  Exchange Commission to offer  additional  equity
when the company believes that market conditions are appropriate.
At  this  time, due to the current market valuation, the  company
has delayed this filing.  Should the equity offering occur, it is
intended  that the proceeds from the offering would  be  used  to
reduce  the  company's debt.  At this time, no  date,  number  of
shares  or  targeted  share price has been established  for  such
action.

<PAGE>  17

SP  Europe  - The company's 30% partner in SP Europe is currently
studying  its  future  participation  in  the  business  and  has
informed  the  company that its extent of participation  will  be
decided by the third quarter of 1995.  Should the partner  choose
to  limit  its  participation, the company could be  required  to
recognize  a  portion  of  losses previously  attributed  to  the
partner.   These  losses  are  currently  included  as  "Minority
Interest"  in  the  equity  section of the  consolidated  balance
sheets.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

      The  company's liquidity needs arise primarily from capital
investment in new equipment, funding working capital requirements
and to meet interest costs.

      As  a result of the company's acquisition activity in 1993,
the   company  is  highly  leveraged.   This  financial  leverage
requires  management  to  focus on  cash  flows  to  meet  higher
interest  costs  and to maintain dividends.  Management  believes
that  operations  and the borrowing arrangements  established  in
1994  will be sufficient to supply the near term funds needed  by
the company.

</TABLE>

      Cash  flow from operating activities in the first  half  of
1995,  $23.0 million, compares favorably with the first  half  of
1994,  an  $8.8 million outflow.  The first half 1995  cash  flow
from  operating  activities reflects  the  seasonal  increase  in
working  capital,  offset by a $9.7 million tax refund  received.
Accounts receivable and inventory levels tend to be high  at  the
end of the second quarter due to increased business activity.

     Cash flow from investing activities during the first half of
1995  represents  the  significant  capital  expenditures,  $19.0
million,  to expand production capacity, particularly within  the
Original Equipment Components segment.  Capital expenditures will
be lower during the remaining half of 1995 and should approximate
$30  million  for the year.  During the first half of  1994,  the
company   paid  Riken  Corporation  $39  million  for  the   1993
acquisition of 49% of SPT.

     Cash flow from financing activities during the first half of
1995 reflects the company's quarterly dividend payment and modest
borrowings.   During  the  first half of  1994,  cash  flow  from
financing  activities included the payment of  approximately  $33
million of fees related to the debt refinancing.

</TABLE>

     (a) Decreased by $16.4 million of facility letters of credit
     outstanding at June 30, 1995 which reduce the unused  credit
     availability.

       The  company  is  required  to  maintain  compliance  with
restrictive   covenants  contained  in   the   revolving   credit
agreement,   as   amended,  and  the  senior  subordinated   note
indenture.  Under  the most restrictive of these  covenants,  the
company is required to:

     Maintain a leverage ratio, as defined, of 78% or less.  The
  leverage ratio at June 30, 1995 was 73%.

     Maintain an interest expense coverage ratio, as defined, of
  2.25:1 or greater. The interest expense coverage ratio as of June
  30, 1995 was 2.29:1.

     Maintain  a  fixed charge coverage ratio,  as  defined,  of
  1.75:1 or greater. The company's fixed charge coverage ratio as
  of June 30, 1995 was 1.80:1.

     Starting  with the second quarter of 1995, limit  dividends
  paid  during  the preceding twelve months to 10%  of  operating
  income plus depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the twelve
  month period.  Dividends paid for the twelve month period ended
  June 30, 1995 were $5.6 million and 10% of EBITDA for the period
  was $9.7 million.

      At March 31, 1995, the company obtained an amendment to the
revolving  credit  agreement  to  adjust  the  interest   expense
coverage ratio covenant from 2.5:1 to 2.25:1 at June 30, 1995 and
September 30, 1995.

     Management  believes that the unused credit availability  on
the  revolving credit facility is sufficient to meet  operational
cash  requirements,  working  capital  requirements  and  capital
expenditures for 1995.  Aggregate future maturities of total debt
are  not  material for 1995 through 1998.  In 1999, the revolving
credit  agreement  expires and borrowings on the  revolver  would
become  due,  however,  management believes  that  the  revolving
credit  agreement  would  likely be extended  or  that  alternate
financing     will     be    available    to     the     company.
