                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
            AMERICAN LOCKER GROUP INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES


1.   The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-QSB and, in
the opinion of the Company, include all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation of such
condensed financial statements.  The condensed financial statements do not
include all information and footnotes normally associated with statements
of results of operation, financial condition, and cash flows prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

2.   Provision for income taxes is based upon the estimated annual
effective tax rate.

3.   Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net loss by
the weighted average number of shares outstanding, plus, when dilutive, the
common stock equivalents which would arise from the exercise of stock
options, during the period (858,876 at March 31, 1995 and 868,673 at March
31, 1994).

4.   Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is
determined by using the last-in, first-out method for substantially all of
the inventories.

            AMERICAN LOCKER GROUP INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL
________________________________

     The Company continues to have adequate resources and liquidity to
maintain its operations.  Working capital at March 31, 1995 was $3,805,000
up $520,000 from working capital of $3,285,000 at December 31, 1994.  The
ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.2 to 1 at March 31,
1995, compared to 1.8 to 1, at December 31, 1994.  The increased working
capital resulted primarily from the first quarter's profitable operations. 
Cash provided from operations was $1,510,000 during the first three months
of 1995, compared to cash used in operating activities of $184,000 for the
same period in 1994.  The significant improvement in cash provided by
operating activities is a result of profitable operations in the first
quarter of 1995 and the realization of December 31, 1994 accounts
receivable relating to significant shipments made to the United States Postal 
Service (USPS) in late 1994.  Cash generated from operations was used 
principally to pay off borrowings under the Company's line of credit.  The 
Company's $3,000,000 line of credit is available to assist in satisfying 
future working capital needs, if required.

The Company anticipates that its requirements for funds for operations and
capital expenditures will be provided principally from cash generated from
future operations.


FIRST THREE MONTHS 1995 VS. FIRST THREE MONTHS 1994
___________________________________________________

     Sales for the first quarter of 1995 of $7,080,000 were up $3,606,000
(104%) compared to first quarter sales of $3,474,000 in 1994.  Plastic
locker sales in the first quarter were $4,541,000, compared to $1,187,000,
during the same period in 1994.  The increased plastic locker sales relate
to a significant contract awarded to the Company on November 7, 1994 to
provide plastic parcel lockers (CBU's) to the USPS.  During the first quarter 
of 1995, the Company completed delivery of 3,633 CBU units, representing the 
first major schedule release of CBU units required by USPS.  Sales of plastic 
lockers products are expected to remain strong throughout 1995 as the Company 
continues to ship CBUs under the USPS contract.  All other sales, metal and 
electronic, were $2,539,000 for the first three months of 1995 compared to 
$2,287,000 in the first quarter of 1994.  This increase related a general 
increase in demand across all markets served by the Company.

     Consolidated cost of products sold as a percentage of sales was 66.4%
during the first quarter of 1995 compared to 70.5% in the first three
months of 1994.  Increased gross margins on sales represented better
absorption of fixed overhead costs associated with the increased volumes. 
Current margins on the CBU units will be reduced by approximately one half,
as the sale price on the first 20,000 units shipped include a reimbursement
for the Company's investment in tooling required to produce the CBU type

III product.  Through March 31, 1995, 6,435 CBU Type III units have been
shipped to USPS under the contract.

     Selling, general and administrative costs for the first quarter of
1995 remain relatively comparable to the same period in 1994 ($1,198,000 -
1995; $1,157,000 - 1994), increasing only 3.5%.  Selling, general and
administrative costs represented 16.9% of sales in the first quarter of
1995, down from 33.5% of sales for the same period in 1994.

     Other income net of $77,600 in the first quarter of 1995 was up
$22,000 from $55,600 recorded in the first three months of 1994,
principally due to discounts from purchase of materials for the CBU product.

     Interest expense for the first quarter of 1995 increased $33,000 from
1994 due to an increase in the average balance outstanding under the
Company's working capital line of credit and increased interest rates.
Increased borrowings were required to support the volume of business with
the USPS.


ACCOUNTING CHANGES
__________________

     The Company provides certain life insurance benefits to its retirees. 
Effective January 1, 1993, pursuant to "Statement of Accounting Standards
No. 106 - Employers Account for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pension", the Company has changed its method of accounting for these
benefits by expensing life insurance benefits as employees render service
instead of when the benefits are paid.  The transition effect, ($105,054,
less income taxes of $41,992), reduced earnings by $.07 per share.

     Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB
Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".  Prior to the adoption of
Statement 109, income tax expense was determined using the deferred method. 
The cumulative effect of this accounting change reduced earnings by $76,466
or $.08 per share.
