          NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
          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 financial condition, results of operations, 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 per common share is computed by dividing net
          income 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 periods;
          809,366 shares for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and
          804,072 shares for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, 854,267
          for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 845,957 for the
          quarter ended September 30, 1995.

          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.

          ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                 AMERICAN LOCKER GROUP INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES


          LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL

          The Company continues to have adequate resources and liquidity to
          maintain and expand its operations.  Working capital at
          September 30, 1996 was $5,026,000, up $1,567,000 over working
          capital of $3,459,000 at December 31, 1995.  The ratio of current
          assets to current liabilities was 2.3 to 1 at September 30, 1996,
          as compared to a ratio of 2.0 to 1 at December 1995.  The
          increased working capital resulted primarily from profitable
          operations during the first nine months of 1996 and increased
          long term debt borrowings used to build inventory and pay income
          tax liabilities.  Cash provided by operations was $171,000 during
          the first nine months of 1996, compared to cash provided by
          operating activities of $2,598,000 for the same period in 1995. 
          Payment of 1995 tax liabilities, coupled with increased
          inventories and lower net income account for much of the change
          in cash provided by operations.  The Company's $3,000,000 line of
          credit is available to assist in satisfying future working
          capital needs, as 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 NINE MONTHS 1996 VS FIRST NINE MONTHS 1995

          Sales for the first nine months of 1996 of $16,864,000 were down
          $1,123,000 (6%) compared to sales of $17,987,000 during the same
          period in 1995.  Plastic locker sales for the first nine months
          were $9,212,000 compared to $10,527,000 during the first nine
          months of 1995.  The decrease in plastic locker sales relates to
          a significant contract awarded to the Company on November 7, 1994
          to provide lockers (CBU's) to the USPS.  During the first three
          months of 1995, the Company's delivery of CBU units totaled
          $3,534,000, completing the first major scheduled release of CBU
          units required by the USPS.  The current USPS contract requires
          the Company to ship CBU's as orders are received from the USPS
          field procurement offices.  The Company anticipates approval to
          begin shipments of the third and final model CBU during the
          fourth quarter.  CBU sales totaled $6,387,000 the first nine
          months.  All other sales, metal and electronic, were $7,652,000
          for the first nine months of 1996 compared to $7,460,000 for the
          first nine months of 1995.  This increase relates to a general
          increase in demand across all markets served by the Company.


                                        - 10 -
<PAGE>
          Consolidated costs of goods sold as a percentage of sales was 70%
          during the first nine months of 1996 compared to 67% in the first
          nine months of 1995. The increase relates to higher depreciation
          costs associated with additional tooling to support the CBU Type
          I and CBU Type II production.


          Selling, administrative and general expense for the first nine
          months of 1996 decreased by $120,000 for the same period in 1995. 
          Selling, administrative and general expenses as a percent of
          sales was 22% during the first nine months of 1996, up from 21%
          during the first nine months of 1995.  

          Other income--net of $160,000 in the first nine months of 1996
          was down $48,000 from the same period in 1995.  The decrease in
          1996 is due principally to discounts earned from the purchase of
          materials for the CBU product.

          Interest expense in the first nine months of 1996 increased by
          $28,000 from the same period in 1995 due to an increase in the
          average balance outstanding under the Company's working capital
          line of credit.  Increased borrowings are required to support
          shipments of all three CBU models.


          THIRD QUARTER 1996 VS THIRD QUARTER 1995

          Third quarter sales were $5,956,000 up $322,000 from the same
          period in 1995.  Plastic sales of $3,671,000 were up 10% or
          $327,000 over 1995's third quarter.  Sales of other products,
          metal and electronic lockers, were $2,285,000 during the third
          quarter of 1996 down slightly from third quarter sales of
          $2,291,000 during the third quarter of 1995.

          Consolidated cost of products sold as a percentage of sales was
          70% during the third quarter of 1996 compared to 66% for the
          third quarter 1995.  The increase relates to higher depreciation
          costs associated with additional tooling to support the CBU Type
          I and CBU Type II production.

          Selling, administrative and general expenses as a percent of net
          sales was 20% during the third quarter of 1996 compared to 23% in
          the third quarter of 1995.

          Other income--net of $55,000 in the third quarter of 1996 was
          down $11,000 from the third quarter of 1995, due principally to
          discounts earned from the purchase of materials for the CBU
          product.
