2) Post Retirement Benefits

   In December 1990, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued Statement
   of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
   Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions" (SFAS No. 106).  SFAS No. 106
   requires that the expected cost of these benefits be charged to expense
   during the years that the employees render service.  The Company adopted
   SFAS No. 106 on August 28, 1993, and recorded a one-time charge of $875,000,
   net of income tax benefits of $525,000, in the accompanying 1994 financial
   statement of operations. 

3) Income Taxes

   Effective August 28, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
   Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS No. 109),
   under which deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for
   the differences between financial and income tax reporting basis of assets
   and liabilities based on enacted tax rates and laws.  The Company recorded
   a $1,422,000 increase to net income in 1994 to reflect the adoption of SFAS
   No. 109.

4) Restated Credit and Security Agreement

   During the second quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company amended its credit
   agreement with three banks.  The agreement consists of a $15 million
   revolving note based on, and secured by, the Company's inventories and
   accounts receivable, and a $20 million term note collateralized by
   equipment.  As of March 3, 1995, $7,883,000 was borrowed under the revolving
   note agreement and an additional $7,117,000 was available for the Company's
   use.  The Company had an outstanding balance of $12,301,000 at March 3,
   1995, under the term note.  The Company may borrow an additional $6,200,000
   to fund future capital expenditures under this term note.  The term note
   calls for quarterly payments commencing January 1, 1996.  The amount of the
   payment will be based on the balance outstanding at that time.  The credit
   agreement expires December 31, 1997, but also contains an option to extend
   the agreement to December 31, 1999.  Interest accrues at prime plus up to
   2.5%, based on the Company's net worth, as defined.  Commitment fees are
   charged at 0.5% on the revolver's unused portion.  The interest rate as of
   March 3, 1995, was 9.5% for the revolving note and 10.0% for the term note.

5) Consortium for the Development of Multi-Chip Module Laminates (MCM-L)

   On January 10, 1994, the Company entered into a Consortium Agreement
   sponsored by the Advanced Projects Research Agency (ARPA), a United States
   Government Agency.  The purpose of the Consortium is to accelerate the
   development and commercialization of the multi-chip module laminate (MCM-L). 
   As a Consortium member, the Company expects to receive approximately $9
   million in funding through January 1996 from ARPA to further test, design
   and develop the manufacturing processes for the Company's NOVACLAD  and 
   Z-LINK  products which are to be used in constructing MCM-L.  During the 
   three and six months ended March 3, 1995, the Company incurred $1,465,000 
   and $3,066,000, respectively, in manufacturing, selling, research and
   development and administrative costs that were refunded by ARPA.  To date,
   the Company has received a total of $6,146,000 of funding through the
   Consortium.  As of March 3, 1995, the Company has recorded a $330,000
   receivable from ARPA.  The remaining expenses to be reimbursed by the ARPA
   Consortium will be $2,520,000 through 1997.

                 SHELDAHL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
            MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
     CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

       Six Months Ended February 25, 1994 and March 3, 1995


Net sales increased $1,140,000 or 2.7% from $41,908,000 for the six months ended
February 25, 1994, to $43,048,000 for the six months ended March 3, 1995. 
Automotive market product sales increased $1,845,000 or 8.2% from $22,495,000 
for the six months ended February 25, 1994, to $24,340,000 for the six months 
ended March 3, 1995.  Sales of automotive interconnect systems increased 
$819,000 or 4.2% from $19,704,000 for the six months ended February 25, 1994, 
to $20,523,000 for the six months ended March 3, 1995, as a result of the 
Company's successful design and sales efforts to major automotive customers.  
Sales of flexible materials for automotive products increased $1,026,000 or 
36.8% to $3,817,000 compared with $2,791,000 for the same period in fiscal 
1994, primarily reflecting the Company's continued expansion into the rapidly
growing automotive airbag market.

Datacommunication market sales declined $3,476,000 or 33.4% from $10,417,000 for
the six months ended February 25, 1994, to $6,941,000 for the six months ended
March 3, 1995.  This decline related principally to reduced sales of the
Company's interconnect systems serving the laptop computer and cellular phone
segments of the datacommunication market.

Aerospace/defense market sales increased $249,000 or 5.0% from $4,959,000 
for the six months ended February 25, 1994, to $5,208,000 for the six months
ended March 3, 1995.  Consumer market sales increased $1,173,000 or 77.3% 
totaling $2,690,000 for the six months ended March 3, 1995, compared with 
$1,517,000 for the same period in fiscal 1994, due to an increase in customer
demand for the Company's interconnect products.  Industrial market sales 
increased $1,349,000 or 53.5% from $2,520,000 for the six months ended 
February 25, 1994, to $3,869,000 for the six months ended March 3, 1995.  
Increased customer demand contributed to the rise in industrial sales.

Gross profit decreased $341,000 or 3.9% from $8,778,000 for the six months ended
February 25, 1994, to $8,437,000 for the six months ended March 3, 1995.  Gross
profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 19.6% compared with 20.9% for the
same period in fiscal 1994.  Increased material and labor costs, as well as 
start up costs associated with a record number of new products in the second 
quarter, resulted in lower gross profit in the first half of 1995.

Sales and marketing expense increased $802,000 or 21.4% from $3,754,000 for the
six months ended February 25, 1994, to $4,556,000 for the six months ended March
3, 1995.  Sales and marketing expense as a percentage of sales increased to 
10.6% for the six months ended March 3, 1995, compared with 9.0% for the same 
period in fiscal 1994.  This was influenced by increased spending on proposal 
material, product advertising and shows and exhibit expense to promote new 
business and products.

Net general and administrative expenses decreased $346,000 or 16.6% from
$2,083,000 for the six months ended February 25, 1994, to $1,737,000 for the six
months ended March 3, 1995.  Gross general and administrative expenses increased
$56,000 or 2.6% from $2,135,000 for the six months ended February 25, 1994, to
$2,191,000 for the six months ended March 3, 1995.  Slightly higher labor costs
contributed to this increase.  During the first six months of fiscal 1995,
$454,0000 of ARPA credits were applied to general and administrative costs,
decreasing gross expenses.  See Note 5 of the accompanying financial statements
for additional information regarding ARPA.

Net research and development expenses decreased $242,000 or 17.9% from 
$1,351,000 for the six months ended February 25, 1994, to $1,109,000 for the 
six months ended March 3, 1995.  Gross research and development costs 
decreased $183,000 or 12.0% from $1,529,000 for the six months ended 
February 25, 1994, to $1,346,000 for the six months ended March 3, 1995.  The
decrease was influenced by reduced research and development material costs 
as the Novaflex  process development is nearing completion.  During the first
six months of fiscal 1995, $237,000 of ARPA credits were applied to research 
and development costs, thus decreasing expenses.  See Note 5 of the 
accompanying financial statements for additional information regarding ARPA.

Net interest expense decreased $314,000 or 68.3% from $460,000 for the six 
months ended February 25, 1994, to $146,000 for the six months ended 
March 3, 1995.  Interest costs capitalized to projects contributed to this 
decrease.  Capitalized interest increased $313,000 or 192% from $163,000 for 
the six months ended February 25, 1994, to $476,000 for the six months ended 
March 3, 1995.  This was due to the $16,000,000 increase in construction 
projects in process.

Operating profit declined $241,000 or 21.3% from $1,130,000 for the six months
ended February 25, 1994, to $889,000 for the six months ended March 3, 1995. 
Lower margins and higher marketing expenses contributed to the decrease. 
Provision for income taxes for the six months ended March 3, 1995, was 
$235,000.  The effective tax rate for fiscal 1995 is estimated to be 26%.  
Income from continuing operations for the six months ended March 3, 1995, 
was $654,000, a decrease of $187,000 or 22.2% as compared to $841,000 for 
the six months ended February 25, 1994.  Earnings per share from continuing 
operations before accounting changes for the six months ended March 3, 1995, 
were $0.10 per share compared with $0.16 per share for the six months ended 
February 25, 1994.  Average shares outstanding increased from approximately 
5,130,000 in fiscal 1994 to 6,900,000 in fiscal 1995.

            MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
     CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

      Three Months Ended February 25, 1994 and March 3, 1995


Net sales increased $221,000 or 1.0% from $21,739,000 for the three months ended
February 25, 1994, to $21,960,000 for the three months ended March 3, 1995. 
Sales to the automotive market increased $1,315,000 or 11.8% from $11,174,000 
for the three months ended February 25, 1994, to $12,489,000 for the three 
months ended March 3, 1995.  Increased design applications of interconnect 
systems for anti-lock brakes, sensors and instrumentation, plus flexible 
materials for airbags contributed to this sales growth.  Sales to the 
datacommunication market decreased $2,401,000 or 41.0% from $5,857,000 for 
the three months ended February 25, 1994, to $3,456,000 for the three months 
ended March 3, 1995.  This decline related principally to reduced sales of 
the Company's interconnect systems serving the laptop computer and cellular 
phone segments of the datacommunication market. Aerospace/defense market 
sales increased $315,000 or 13.7% from $2,304,000 for the three months ended 
February 25, 1994, to $2,619,000 for the three months ended March 3, 1995. 
Consumer market sales increased $498,000 or 64.2% from $776,000 for the 
three months ended February 25, 1994, to $1,274,000 for the three months 
ended March 3, 1995.  Industrial market sales increased $868,000 or 69.2% 
from $1,254,000 for the three months ended February 25, 1994, to $2,122,000 
for the three months ended March 3, 1995.  Increased customer demand 
contributed to the rise in consumer and industrial sales.

Gross profit decreased $666,000 or 14.2% from $4,704,000 for the three months
ended February 25, 1994, to $4,038,000 for the three months ended 
March 3, 1995.  Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 
18.4% from 21.6% for the same period of fiscal year 1994.  Start-up costs, 
associated with a record level of new automotive products, along with 
increased material and labor costs, contributed to the decrease.

Total operating expenses increased $52,000 or 1.4% from $3,808,000 for the three
months ended February 25, 1994, to $3,860,000 for the three months ended March
3, 1995.  As a percentage of net sales, expenses were 17.5% for both periods.

Sales and marketing expense increased $378,000 or 19.9% from $1,903,000 for the
three months ended February 25, 1994, to $2,281,000 for the three months ended
March 3, 1995.  Higher labor costs, product advertising, shows and exhibits and
travel costs contributed to the increase.

Net general and administrative expenses decreased $230,000 or 20.9% from
$1,103,000 for the three months ended February 25, 1994, to $873,000 for the
three months ended March 3, 1995.  Gross general and administrative expenses
decreased $57,000 or 5.0% from $1,152,000 for the three months ended 
February 25, 1994, to $1,095,000 for the three months ended March 3, 1995.  
Lower consulting and professional fees contributed to the decline.  For the 
three months ended March 3, 1995, $222,000 of ARPA credits were applied to 
general and administrative costs.  See Note 5 of the accompanying financial 
statements for additional information regarding ARPA.

Net research and development expense increased $10,000 or 1.8% from $568,000 for
the three months ended February 25, 1994, to $578,000 for the three months March
3, 1995.  Gross research and development costs decreased to $86,000 or 11.5% 
from $746,000 for the three months ended February 25, 1994, to $660,000 for 
the six months ended March 3, 1995. The decrease in research and development 
costs relating to the Novaflex  process development contributed to the 
decline in research and development expenses.  For the three months ended 
March 3, 1995, $82,000 of ARPA credits were applied to research and development 
costs.  See Note 5 of the accompanying financial statements for additional 
information regarding ARPA.

Net interest expense decreased $106,000 or 45.3% from $234,000 for the three
months ended February 25, 1994, to $128,000 for the three months ended March 3,
1995, while interest on borrowings increased $79,000 or 24.8% from $319,000 for
the three months ended February 25, 1994 to $398,000 for the three months ended
March 3, 1995. Capitalized interest increased $185,000 or 217.6% from $85,000 
for the three months ended February 25, 1994, to $270,000 for the three 
months ended March 3, 1995, because of the $16,000,000 increase in capital 
projects in progress.  

Income before taxes decreased $718,000 or 80.1% from $896,000 for the three
months ended February 25, 1994, to $178,000 for the three months ended March 3,
1995.

For the current quarter, income taxes have been provided at an estimated annual
rate of 27%.  Net income from continuing operations for the three months ended
March 3, 1995, was $135,000, a decrease of $537,000 or 80% as compared to
$672,000 for the three months ended February 25, 1994.  Earnings per share for
the three months ended March 3, 1995, was $0.02 per share and $0.13 per share 
for the three months ended February 25, 1994.  The decline in EPS was a 
result of lower quarterly earnings and increased shares outstanding.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company's amended credit agreement with Norwest, Harris and NBD banks, as
described in Note 4 to the accompanying financial statements, increased the
Company's borrowing capability to $35,000,000.  The funds will be used to 
support the Company's $50 million capital investment program that begun in 
June of 1994.  As of March 31, 1995, the Company, as part of its investment 
plan, obtained a $5,000,000 construction loan for the construction of the 
Longmont, Colorado, facility.  The capital investment program includes the 
purchase of land and construction of the Novaclad  manufacturing facility 
in Longmont, Colorado, as well as significant upgrades at the circuit and 
material fabrication facilities in Northfield, Minnesota.

At March 3, 1995, working capital decreased, reflecting a 2.0 to 1 current ratio
compared to 2.2 to 1 at September 2, 1994.

For the six months ended March 3, 1995, the Company has invested $13,232,000 in
capital expenditures and expects to continue capital investment at a similar 
rate during the last half of fiscal 1995.  Capital expenditures will 
principally be funded from cash flows from operations plus existing debt 
capacity.

          (a)  The Borrower, Norwest and Harris hereby consent to
     NBD becoming an additional Lender under the Credit Agreement
     as of the date hereof.  Commencing as of the date hereof,
     NBD is hereby accorded all rights, privileges and benefits
     of a Lender under and pursuant to the Credit Agreement and
     NBD hereby assumes all liabilities and obligations of a
     Lender under the Credit Agreement.  NBD shall be deemed a
     party to the Credit Agreement and a Lender thereunder and

     accorded to a Lender in the Credit Agreement (including
     obtaining the benefit of all collateral securing payment of
     the Notes), (ii) shall be subject to all obligations of a
     Lender thereunder and (iii) shall be deemed to have
     specifically ratified and confirmed, and by executing this

     hereby relieved of all obligations under the Credit
     Agreement to the extent of the reduction of their respective
     Percentages as contemplated hereby.

          (b)  NBD acknowledges and confirms that it has received
     a copy of the Credit Agreement and this Third Amendment,
     together with the exhibits related thereto, and of all Loan
     Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and has
     reviewed and approved each and every such document.  NBD
     further confirms and agrees that in becoming a Lender and in
     making its Commitments and Advances under the Credit
     Agreement, such actions have and will be made without
     recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the Assigning
     Lenders, Agent or any other Lender and that the Assigning
     Lenders, Agent and other Lenders have made no
     representations or warranties, express or implied, with
     respect to any aspect of the Loan Documents, including,
     without limitation (i) the existing or future solvency or
     financial condition or responsibility of the Borrower, its
     partners or any guarantors, (ii) the payment or
     collectibility of the Advances, (iii) the validity,
     enforceability or legal effect of the Loan Documents, or any
     other instrument or document furnished by the Borrower under
     the Credit Agreement, or (d) the validity or effectiveness
     of the lien created by any of the Loan Documents.  NBD has
     made or caused to be made such independent investigation of
     the Borrower and its creditworthiness and all the matters
     affecting NBD's judgment in becoming an additional Lender as
     NBD has deemed necessary.  NBD has not relied in any manner
     upon any judgment, determination, or statement of the
     Assigning Lenders, the Agent or any other Lender, whether
     contained in any materials delivered by any such Lender or
     Agent to NBD, or otherwise, in becoming an additional Lender
     hereunder.

          (c)  NBD acknowledges and confirms that its notice

     assign to NBD a portion of such Assigning Lender's
     outstanding Advances and liability for the L/C Amount in an
     amount equal to the product of (i) NBD's Percentage and (ii)
     the outstanding balance of each such Advance and the L/C
     Amount, and NBD shall purchase such Advances and L/C Amount
     from each such Assigning Lender.  All such purchases by NBD
     shall be deemed without recourse or warranty of any kind. 
     The Agent shall collect and apply all accrued interest and
     fees under the Credit Agreement for all periods prior to the
     date of this Third Amendment for the sole benefit of and to
     the sole account of the Assigning Lenders.  NBD shall be
     entitled to receive interest and fees with respect to its

     purchase of outstanding Advances as contemplated in this
     Section 3(d).

2.   Representations and Warranties.

     In order to induce Lender to execute this Agreement and to make the Loan
(as hereinafter defined) Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

     2.1  Title to Development Site.  Borrower owns good and marketable fee
simple title to Lot 1, Block 1, Clover Creek Industrial, First Filing, County
of boulder, State of Colorado (collectively, the "Land").  The Land is owned
free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances, except those listed on
Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof (collectively, the "Permitted
Exceptions").

     2.2  Description of Project.  Subject to the provisions of this
Agreement, Borrower has begun to (a) improve the Land with the construction of
a production facility/office building (the "Building") and (b) construct
certain on-site and off-site improvements (the "Improvements") on the Land. 
The Land, the Building and the Improvements are herein collectively referred
to as the "Project".  All work to be performed and materials to be supplied in
connection with the Building and the Improvements (collectively, the "Work")
shall be in accordance with this Agreement and the detailed budget (the
"Budget") attached hereto as Exhibit C.

     2.3  Development Contracts.  Borrower, as owner, has executed or caused
to be executed the following contracts (the "Contracts") for the performance
of the Work:

          (a)  Agreement with the Contractor for the construction of the

          (b)  Agreement with the Architect for architectural and design
services for the Project.

          (c)  Agreement with the Engineer for engineering services.

          (d)  Disbursement Agreement with the Title Company.

     Borrower has delivered to Lender a true, complete and correct copy of
each of the Contracts; each Contract is full force and effect, unamended; and
no default exists thereunder by either party thereto.

     All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and in
the Standard Terms and conditions which have been made by Borrower shall be
true at the time of each disbursement of the Loan and in the event of any
material breach, misrepresentation or omission, Lender shall have the absolute
right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement (without any
obligation to refund any commitment fees previously paid), and, upon demand by
Lender, Borrower shall reimburse Lender for the Loan Expensed (as defined in
the Standard Terms and Conditions), and Lender shall be entitled to recover
from Borrower all losses and damages resulting therefrom.

3.   Agreement for Construction Loan.

     Lender agrees to lend to Borrower, and Borrower agrees to borrow from
Lender an amount not to exceed Five Million U.S. dollars ($5,000,000), (the
"Loan") for the purposes and upon the terms and subject to the conditions
contained in this Agreement and the Standard Terms and Conditions.  Borrower
acknowledges that whether or not all or any portion of the Loan shall be
disbursed, any commitment fee to be paid by Borrower to Lender concurrently
with the first disbursement shall be fully earned.

4.   Interest Rate and Terms of Repayment.

     4.1  Loan Rate.  The principal balance of the Loan from time to time
outstanding shall bear interest (the "Loan Rate") during each calendar month
(whether full or partial) prior to the Maturity Date (as hereinafter defined),
at an annual rate equal to one percent (1%) over the Prime Rate.  The Prime
Rate shall mean the "base rate on corporate loans at large U.S. money center
commercial banks," as published in the "Money Rates" section of the Wall Street
Journal on each day prior to the Maturity Date.  In the event The Wall Street
Journal publishes a range of "base rates", the Prime Rate shall be the average
of the highest and lowest "base rates".  In the event The Wall Street Journal
discontinues publication of the aforesaid "base rate", the Prime Rate shall
mean the "corporate base rate" announced by Norwest Bank of Colorado, N.A., to
be in effect each day prior to the Maturity Date.  The Loan Rate shall: (a) be
computed on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days; (b) change each day
the Prime Rate changes prior to the Maturity Date, Lender not being required
to give Borrower notice of such changes; and (c) be charged for the actual
number of days within the period for which interest is being charged.

     4.2  Default Rate.  At any time after the Maturity Date or otherwise
when the Loan is in default and until such default is cured, the principal
amount of the Loan shall bear interest at an annual rate (the "Default Rate")
equal to four percent (4%) plus the Loan Rate then in effect under the Note.

     4.3  Usury.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein
or in the Note, the total amount of interest and other charges payable by
Borrower on the Loan shall not exceed the maximum rate of interest which may
be charged by Lender under the laws of Colorado.

     4.4  Payments.  Commencing on the first day of the month following the
month in which the initial disbursement of the Loan shall occur, and
continuing on the first day of each month thereafter through and including the
month in which the Maturity Date occurs, interest only at the Loan Rate on the
principal balance of the Loan from time to time outstanding shall be payable
monthly in arrears.  Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably
authorizes Lender, at Lender's option, to disburse the amounts of such monthly
interest payments from the undisbursed proceeds of the loan and to apply such
amounts to said interest payments.  Any amounts disbursed from the loan amount
to pay interest shall become part of the outstanding principal balance and
interest thereon shall accrue and be payable as provided herein.  The unpaid
principal balance of the Loan and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if
not sooner declared to be due in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be
due and payable on March 31, 1996, or, if applicable, on any extension of said
date pursuant to Paragraph 4.5 of this Agreement "the "Maturity Date").  All
payment on account of the Loan shall be applied first against any accrued and
unpaid interest then outstanding, with he balance applied against the unpaid
principal balance thereof.

     4.5  Extension Right.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, Borrower shall have the right (the "Extension
Right") to extend the term of the Loan for an additional seven (7) year period
with a final payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan and all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if not sooner declared to be due in
accordance with the terms hereof, due and payable on March 31, 2003, upon the
following terms and conditions (the "New Loan"):

          (a)  Borrower gives Lender written notice of its election to
exercise the Extension Right on or before May 15, 1995;

          (b)  No default or event which with the passage of time, the
giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default, exists under the
Note or any of the Loan Documents, either on the date Borrower delivers the
notice described in (a) above or on the original Maturity Date: and

          (c)  Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this
Paragraph 4.5, all of the other terms and provisions of the Note, this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and
effect in accordance with their terms, including the obligation  to make
monthly payments of interest at the then applicable Loan Rate.

          (d)  The New Loan shall have the following terms and conditions:

               (i)  The total principal amount of the New Loan shall not
exceed Five Million U.S. dollars ($5,000,000);

               (ii) The principal owed under the New Loan shall bear
interest during each calendar month (whether full or partial) prior to the
Maturity Date (as hereinafter defined), at an annual fixed rate equal to
two percent (2%) over the then current seven (7)  year U.S. Treasury Note
rate;

               (iii) Principal and interest shall be payable monthly based
on a twenty (20) year amortization schedule.

          (e)  To document the New Loan, Borrower shall enter into a new
promissory note and amendments to the other Loan Documents as necessary to
document the revised loan terms as expressed above.  In addition, Borrower
shall provide Lender with an updated Lender's title insurance policy on the
Property confirming that Borrower's lien on the Property maintains its
first priority position.

     4.6  Prepayment.  The Loan may be prepaid in full or in part without
cost or penalty upon fourteen (14) days' prior written notice to Lender from
Borrower.  All prepayments of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note shall be
applied first against any accrued and unpaid interest then outstanding, with
the balance applied against the unpaid principal balance of the Loan.

5.   Construction: Application of Loan Proceeds.

     5.1  Commencement and Completion Dates.  Borrower shall not cause or
permit the continuance of construction of the Building (including without
limitation any grading or excavation) or any Improvements unless the
conditions described in Article 7 of this Agreement with respect to such
Building or the Improvements, respectively, have been satisfied.  Borrower
shall cause the construction of the Improvements and the Building to be
diligently and expeditiously carried out, in a good and workmanlike manner, in
accordance with the Building and Engineering Plans and Specifications (as
defined in the Standard Terms and Conditions).  Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Borrower shall cause construction of the
Improvements and the Building to continue without interruption until
completion, weather conditions permitting, and to be completed in accordance
with the Building and Engineering Plans and Specifications (as defined in the
Standard Terms and Conditions) within twelve (12) months from the date of
initial disbursement of the Loan.  Construction of the Building shall not be
deemed to be complete until Lender's Inspector is prepared to certify that all
space located within such Building can be used and occupied in accordance with
all applicable laws, ordinances and regulations and that such Building will
qualify for a final, unconditional certificate of occupancy.

     5.2  Improvement Loan, Soft Costs Loan, and Building Loan.  The
proceeds of the Loan disbursed to Borrower shall be used by Borrower for the
purpose of paying Project Cost actually incurred by Borrower.  For purposes of
this Agreement, "Project Cost" shall mean:

          (a)  The cost of Work required to complete construction of the
Improvements and the Building in accordance with the Engineering and
Building Plans and Specifications;

          (b)  Taxes, insurance premiums, professional fees and other
expenses to be approved by Lender which are incurred by Borrower in
connection with the operation of the Project prior to repayment of the
Loan;

          (c)  Interest on the Loan;

          (d)  The cost of fixtures, furnishings, furniture, equipment and
personal property owned or to be acquired by Borrower and to be used in
the construction of the Building and the operation of the Project; and

          (e)  All Loan Expenses.

6.   Loan Documents.

     Prior to the first disbursement of the Loan, Borrower shall cause to be
executed and delivered to Lender a promissory note (the "Note") executed by
each Borrower, jointly and severally, and payable to the order of Lender in
the principal amount of Five Million U.S. dollars ($5,000,000) bearing
interest and repayable on the terms set forth in Article 4 of this Agreement,
together with a Deed of Trust on the Project and the other loan documents
described in Article 3 of the Standard Terms and Conditions, all of which
documents shall contain such provisions as shall be required to conform to
this Agreement and otherwise shall be satisfactory in form and substance to
Lender.  All such documents are hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Loan Documents".

7.   Cash Equity and Restrictions on Loan Disbursements.

     Subject to the restrictions and limitations contained in this Article,
Lender shall make disbursements of the Loan in accordance with Article 4 of
the Standard Terms and Conditions; provided, however, that notwithstanding
anything contained in this Agreement or in the Standard Terms and Conditions,
(i) prior to and as a condition of any disbursement of the proceeds of the
Loan, Borrower shall have a minimum of $2,000,000 of cash equity invested in
the Project; and (ii) Lender shall not be required to make disbursements of
any proceeds of the Loan allocable to the "hard costs" of constructing the
Building after January 31, 1996.

8.   Borrower's Covenants.  Borrower covenants and agrees as follows:
Borrower will not, without the prior written consent of Lender, (i) amend or
modify its articles of incorporation or by-laws which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, or (ii) permit itself to be dissolved or its existence
terminated, cause or permit its corporate resolutions relating to this
transaction to be amended in any respect.

9.   Recordation of Documents: Partial Releases.  Borrower hereby covenants
and agrees that it will not record any document pertaining to, affecting, or
running with all or any portion of the Project or execute any other document
affecting the ownership of the Project, unless concurrently or prior thereto:

     (a)  lender has approved the form and substance of all such documents
which consent will not be unreasonably withheld; and

     (b)  no default beyond any applicable cure period or event which with
the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a
default then exists under the Note, the Deed of Trust, this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents.
