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 generally accepted accounting principles for
   interim  financial  information  and  with  the  instructions  to Form  10-Q.
   Accordingly,  the  condensed  financial  statements do not include all of the
   information  and  footnotes   required  by  generally   accepted   accounting
   principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company's
   management,  all  adjustments,   consisting  of  normal  recurring  accruals,
   considered  necessary for a fair  presentation  of such  condensed  financial
   statements  have been included.  Operating  results for the nine month period
   ended September 30, 1999 are not  necessarily  indicative of the results that
   may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1999.

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.  Basic and  diluted  weighted  average  shares
   outstanding  were 2,393,062  (2,419,098 in 1998) and 2,437,573  (2,549,251 in
   1998) respectively for the nine month period ending September 30, 1999.

   During the third quarter ended September 30, 1999 the Company paid $79,435 to
   purchase  10,350 shares of common  stock.  During the first nine months ended
   September 30, 1999, the Company paid $2,367,966 to purchase 221,650 shares of
   common  stock.  These shares are recorded as treasury  stock at September 30,
   1999.

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 Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition and  Results
         of Operations

               American Locker Group Incorporated and Subsidiaries

FIRST NINE MONTHS 1999 VS FIRST NINE MONTHS 1998

Sales for the first nine months of 1999 of $25,648,174  were down $11,169,294 or
30.3% compared to sales of $36,817,468  during the same period in 1998.  Plastic
locker sales to the United  States Postal  Service  (USPS)  totaled  $18,358,941
compared to $28,063,445  during the first nine months of 1998. Cluster Box Units
(CBUs)  sales were  $17,426,827  compared to  $26,499,711  during the first nine
months of 1998.

The decline in sales of CBUs  relates to fewer units in total  purchased  by the
USPS compared to last year's first nine months and also to lower selling  prices
per unit.  The  Company has  maintained  its  dominant  market  share  position.
However,  USPS  accumulation of CBU inventories in the third quarter of 1998 and
USPS operating  losses  associated with deferring a postal rate increase for six
months  resulted in lower CBU purchases in the fourth  quarter of 1998 and first
nine months of 1999. Based on current information  available to the Company, the
Company believes that the long term outlook for CBU volumes remains favorable in
light of continued  USPS  commitment to the CBU and its operating cost reduction
benefits.  Also  effective  September 15, 1999,  the USPS had announced  that it
discontinued  the purchase of NDCBUs.  The CBU is a  modernization  of the NDCBU
(which the USPS has  purchased for 20 years) and is an integral part of the USPS
delivery cost reduction program identified as Centralized  Delivery.  Therefore,
long term CBU volumes are expected to be positively  effected by  replacement of
older NDCBU installations.

As previously  reported,  the USPS has extended the Company's  national contract
through April 14, 2000.  Terms of the extension were finalized on April 14, 1999
and set prices and minimum quantities for the period through April 14, 2000. The
Company  lowered  prices  on  CBUs by  approximately  one-third  of one  percent
(0.33%). The contract minimum quantity is one and is solely a legal minimum, not
indicative of USPS requirements.  As previously  disclosed,  total CBU demand is
influenced  by a number of  factors  over  which  the  Company  has no  control,
including but not limited to: Postal budgets,  policies,  financial performance,
domestic  new  housing  starts,  and the  weather as these  units are  installed
outdoors.

The two CBU  competitors,  each with an aluminum  CBU,  also  received  one-year
contract  extensions.  The Company has  maintained  its  dominant  market  share
position and believes our CBU prices are  competitive.  The Company believes its
CBU  product  line  continues  to  represent  the best value  when all  factors,
including price,  quality of design and  construction,  long term durability and
service are considered.

All other sales,  metal and electronic were $7,289,233 for the first nine months
of 1999 compared to $8,754,023 for the first nine months of 1998.  This decrease
of  $1,464,790  or 16.7%  relates  to a general  decrease  in demand  across all
markets served by the Company.

Cost of products  sold as a percentage  of sales was 70.6% during the first nine
months of 1999 compared to 70.7% in the first nine months of 1998.

Selling,  general  and  administrative  costs for the first nine  months of 1999
decreased  $1,010,966  over  the  same  period  in 1998.  Selling,  general  and
administrative  expense as a percent of sales was 16.7%




                                       8
<PAGE>



compared  to 14.4%  during  the first nine  months of 1998.  The  increase  as a
percentage of sales relates primarily to decreased sales volume.

Interest  expense  in the first  nine  months of 1999 was  $89,590  compared  to
$192,739  in the same  period in 1998.  This  decrease  is due to lower  average
outstanding debt during 1999 versus 1998.

THIRD QUARTER 1999 VS THIRD QUARTER 1998

Third quarter sales of  $7,761,363  were down  $7,661,572 or 49.7% from the same
period in 1998. Plastic locker sales of $5,688,378 were down 56.2% or $7,302,404
over  1998's  third  quarter.  Sales of other  products,  metal  and  electronic
lockers,  were  $2,072,985  during the third  quarter of 1999,  14.8% lower than
1998.

Cost of  products  sold as a  percentage  of sales  was 70.0%  during  the third
quarter of 1999 down from 73.4% during the third quarter of 1998.

Selling, administrative and general expenses as a percent of net sales was 18.7%
during the third quarter of 1999 compared to 13.7% in the third quarter of 1998.

Interest  expense in the third quarter of $52,958  decreased from $62,016 in the
third quarter of 1998 due to lower average  outstanding  debt during 1999 versus
1998.

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, 1999 was $10,212,560, up
$504,887  from working  capital of  $9,707,673  at June 30,  1999.  The ratio of
current  assets to current  liabilities  was 5.79 to 1 at September 30, 1999, as
compared  to a  ratio  of 3.94 to 1 at  December  31.  1998.  Cash  provided  by
operations  was  $2,957,238  during the first nine  months of 1999,  compared to
$4,026,699  provided by operating  activities  for the same period in 1998.  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.  The Company also has availability under its $3,000,000 term
loan facility.

As previously announced, the Company repurchased approximately 211,000 shares of
Company common stock in private and open market  transactions during the quarter
ended June 30, 1999.  The Company  repurchased  approximately  10,350  shares of
Company  common stock in private and open market  transactions  during the third
quarter  ended  September,  30,  1999.  The purchase of the shares was funded by
working  capital and a new  $3,000,000  term loan  facility  with the  Company's
primary bank lender. At present,  $1,500,000 of the $3,000,000 facility has been
drawn.

YEAR 2000 PROJECT UPDATE

The Year 2000  (Y2K)  issue  relates to the fact that many  computers,  computer
programs,  and embedded  microchips support only two digits to specify a year in
the date field.  Therefore,  if not corrected,  these systems may fail or create
erroneous  results in dealing with matters  which refer to dates after  December

action since late

1996. Following is a project status update as of September 30, 1999.

A. Assessment

   Assessment of the Company's Information Technology (IT) systems was completed
   in 1997.  Based on results of the  assessment,  the Company  determined  that
   complete replacement of its IT system was the best course of action.

   Assessment of the Company's non-IT systems with embedded microchips (security
   systems,  telephones,  etc.)  began in the first  quarter  of 1998 and is now
   complete.  No  systems  required  renovation  and  none are  critical  to the
   Company's production process.

B. Renovation

   Renovation  by  replacement  of the  Company's  IT  system is  proceeding  on
   schedule. New IT software that is certified Y2K compliant has been purchased,
   installed,  and is  operational  on a Novell  network of personal  computers.
   Novell has now advised its  customers  that the version in use by the Company
   is Y2K compliant.

   Total  project  expenditures  through  September  30, 1999 were  $230,000 for
   hardware,  software, and implementation consulting fees. This represents over
   90% of the total projected project cost.

C. Validation

   Validation and final testing of the new IT system  commenced with  full-scale
   Company data starting January 1, 1999 and is completed.

D. Implementation

   Final implementation of the new IT system is completed.

E. Third Party Assessment

   The Company surveyed its entire vendor base during the third quarter of 1998.
   Final results were compiled  during the fourth  quarter 1998. The Company has
   verified that its major vendors are working  towards Y2K  compliance and that
   reasonable  contingency plans are in place to allow the Company's  production
   of its products to continue.  Also, the Company as normal  policy,  maintains
   adequate  inventory of all but the most expensive  components (those supplied
   by vendors noted above) to safeguard  against short term  interruptions.  The
   Company has also built and will maintain a large  inventory of completed CBUs
   in order to ensure on-time deliveries to the USPS in spite of any Y2K related
   interruptions in production.  No single customer's failure to address the Y2K
   issue,  other than the United  States  Postal  Service  (USPS),  would have a
   material effect on the Company.

Worst Case Risks and Contingency Plans

In the first nine months of 1999, the Company's  contract with the United States
Postal  Service  (USPS)  accounted for over 70% of the Company's  revenues.  Any
interruption  or slowing of USPS  orders or  payments as a result of Y2K related
issues  would  have a  material  adverse  effect  on the  Company's  results  of
operations,    liquidity,   and/or   financial   condition.   However,   through
communication  with the



                                       10
<PAGE>



USPS and assessment of USPS  representations  related to
their  Y2K  project  status,   the  Company  does  not  anticipate  Y2K  related
interruptions in USPS orders or payments.

In the event that a Y2K related  slowdown or stoppage in USPS orders does occur,
the Company has a contingency plan whereby CBU inventory levels would be reduced
and orders for incoming materials would be delayed or cancelled in order to free
working  cash.  The  Company's  $3,000,000  line of  credit,  as  well as  other
financial instruments, may be utilized if necessary.

The forward looking statements  contained in the Year 2000 Project Update should
be read in conjunction  with the Company's  disclosures  under the heading "Safe
Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995."

Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities  Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Investors are cautioned that such  forward-looking  statements involve risks and

time  to  time  in the  Company's  filings  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission.

Part II

Item 1.  Legal Matters

In September 1998 and subsequent  months, the Company was named as an additional
defendant  in over 50  cases  pending  in  state  court  in  Massachusetts.  The
plaintiffs in each such case assert that the Company  manufactured and furnished
to various shipyards components  containing asbestos during the period from 1948
to 1972 and that injuries resulted from exposure to such products. The assets of
this  division  were sold by the  Company  in 1973.  Based  upon  investigations
conducted by the Company to date,  the Company has  discovered  no evidence that
the former division  manufactured or supplied any products containing  asbestos.
Therefore,  barring the  discovery  of contrary  evidence,  the Company does not
anticipate that these actions will have any substantial  impact on the Company's
operations  or financial  condition.  Defense of these cases has been assumed by
the Company's insurance carrier, subject to a customary reservation of rights.

In December  1998,  the Company  was named as a  defendant  in a lawsuit  titled
"ROBERTA RAIPORT, ET AL. V. GOWANDA ELECTRONICS CORP. AND AMERICAN LOCKER GROUP,
INC." pending in the State of New York Supreme Court, County of Cattaragus.  The
suit  involves  property  located  in  Gowanda,  New York  which was sold by the
Company to Gowanda  Electronics Corp. prior to 1980. The plaintiffs,  current or
former  property  owners in  Gowanda,  New York,  assert  that  defendants  each
operated machine shops at the site during their respective  periods of ownership
and that as a  result  of such  operation  soil  and  groundwater  contamination
occurred  which  has  adversely   affected  the  plaintiffs  and  the  value  of
plaintiffs'  properties.  The plaintiffs assert a number of causes of action and
seek  compensatory  damages



                                       11
<PAGE>



of $5,000,000 related to alleged  diminution of property values,  $3,000,000 for
economic  losses  and  "disruption  to  plaintiffs'   lives,"   $10,000,000  for
"nuisance,  inconveniences and disruption to plaintiffs'  lives," $25,000,000 in
punitive damages,  and $15,000,000 to establish a "trust account" for monitoring
indoor air quality and other  remedies." The Company believes that its potential
liability with respect to this site, if any, is de minimis.  Therefore, based on
the information currently available,  management does not believe the outcome of
this  suit  will  have a  substantial  impact  on the  Company's  operations  or
financial  condition.  Defense of this case has been  assumed  by the  Company's
insurance carrier, subject to a customary reservation of rights.

Item 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K

(a) Exhibit 27.1 Financial Data Schedule dated September 30, 1999.

(b) The  Company  did not file any  reports on Form 8-K during the three  months
    ended September 30, 1999.
