INBRAND Corporation Form 8-K/A


Item 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

         On  February  9,  1996, INBRAND Corporation  ("INBRAND")
through  its new subsidiary, INBRAND France S.A. (the  "Company")
was awarded substantially all of the assets of Celatose, S.A.,  a
societe anonyme formed under the laws of France ("Celatose")  and
certain   of   its  subsidiaries  (Celatose  and  these   certain
subsidiaries are herein collectively referred to as the "Celatose
Group").  The Celatose Group was in bankruptcy under the laws  of
France.

         The Company was awarded the assets of Celatose from  the
French   bankruptcy   court  for  approximately   $4,800,000,   a
significant  portion  of which may be paid  over  a  twenty-eight
month  period, without interest, to the French bankruptcy  court.
INBRAND   borrowed   the   initial  portion   of   the   purchase
consideration from its lender, SouthTrust Bank of Georgia,  N.A.,
and  contributed  this  amount to the  Company  to  complete  the
purchase.  The Company assumed no significant debt obligations of
the Celatose Group in the transaction.

          The  Celatose  Group  manufactured  adult  incontinence
products   and  disposable  baby  diapers  which  were   marketed
primarily  under  retailers' private labels in  Europe.   INBRAND
continues  the  separate operation of the  Celatose  Group  plant
assets  through  the  Company which  is  providing  INBRAND  with
additional  manufacturing and distribution operations  in  Lille,
France as well as a small presence in Montpelier, France.

         Additional  information concerning this transaction,  as
well  as  documentation related to it, is included  in  INBRAND's
Form 8-K dated February 9, 1996, as amended on April 23, 1996.

           The  following financial statements of Celatose,  S.A.
        acquired by Registrant as previously described in Item  2
        of the Initial Report on Form 8-K, are filed herewith:

        Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements       F-8
<PAGE>

           The  audit was conducted in accordance with  generally
        accepted  auditing standards in France as issued  by  the
        applicable   legal   and   professional   bodies.     The
        consolidated financial statements have been  prepared  in
        accordance   with   French  accounting   regulations   as
        disclosed  in  note  1.1  to the  consolidated  financial
        statements.   The  French accounting principles  used  in
        preparation of the consolidated financial statements  are
        enumerated   in   note   1.   These   French   accounting
        principles  differ  in  certain respects  from  generally
        accepted  accounting  principles in  the  United  States.
        The  differences with regard to net loss  and  deficiency
        in assets are presented in note 2.

(b)     Pro Forma Financial Information

           The  Pro  Forma Financial Information was prepared  to
        illustrate  the Registrant's acquisition on  February  8,
        1996  of certain assets and liabilities of Celatose, S.A.
        and  JAG,  S.A. from a bankruptcy trustee under the  laws
        of   France.    Upon   the  court's   approval   of   the
        transaction,  INBRAND France, S.A.  was  created  by  the
        Registrant to manage this acquisition.

           The  assets  acquired  consisted  primarily  of  fixed
        assets, inventories and Celatose, S.A.'s investment in  a
        wholly-owned subsidiary (Laboratoires Alaune,  S.A.R.L.).
        The  majority of the existing employees of the  companies
        were  retained.   Certain liabilities of  Celatose,  S.A.
        and  JAG, S.A. were assumed relating to vacation pay  and
        retirement payments under a social pension scheme.

           In  connection  with the acquisition,  the  Registrant
        plans  to dispose of certain assets.  The estimated costs
        of  disposing  of  those assets, and the amortization  of
        such  costs,  are  reflected in the Pro  Forma  Financial
        Information.

           The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet has
        been   prepared  as  if  the  transactions  occurred   on
        December  30, 1995.  The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated
        Statements  of  Income for a twelve  month  period  ended
        July  1,  1995 and for a six month period ended  December
        30,  1995  have  been  prepared as if  such  transactions
        occurred at the beginning of the periods.  The pro  forma
        consolidated  financial information set  forth  below  is
        unaudited  and  is  not  necessarily  indicative  of  the
        results that would have occurred if the transactions  had
        been  consummated for balance sheet purposes on  December
        30,  1995,  and  for  income statement  purposes  at  the
        beginning of the periods presented.

        Pro  Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December  30,
        1995 (unaudited)                                    F-20

        Pro  Forma  Consolidated Statement of  Operations  for  a
        Twelve Month Period Ended July 1, 1995 (unaudited)  F-22

                 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS



The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
INBRAND Corporation


We  have  audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet  of
Celatose,   S.A.  as  of  December  31,  1995  and  the   related
consolidated statements of income, deficiency in assets and  cash
flows  for  the year then ended.  These financial statements  are
the    responsibility   of   the   Company's   management.    Our
responsibility  is  to  express an  opinion  on  these  financial
statements based on our audit.

We  conducted  our  audit in accordance with  generally  accepted
auditing  standards.  Those standards require that  we  plan  and
perform  the  audit to obtain reasonable assurance about  whether
the  financial statements are free of material misstatement.   An
audit  includes  examining, on a test basis, evidence  supporting
the  amounts  and  disclosures in the financial  statements.   An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used  and
significant  estimates made by management, as well as  evaluating
the  overall  financial statement presentation.  We believe  that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As  described in Note 1.1 to the financial statements on  January
1,  1995,  assets and liabilities are valued at historical  cost.
In November 1995, Celatose, S.A. was put under the direction of a
bankruptcy  trustee.  As a result, assets with a known  purchaser
and  price  have been valued at their fair value at December  31,
1995   as  measured  by  the  acquisition  price.   Pending   the
completion of the liquidation process, at which time the ultimate
amount  of  settlement  will  be  known,  liabilities  have  been
recorded at their book value at December 31, 1995.

In  our  opinion,  the  financial statements  referred  to  above
present   fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the  assets   in
liquidation and the consolidated financial position of  Celatose,
S.A.  at December 31, 1995, and the consolidated results  of  its
operations  and cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity
with  generally  accepted accounting principles as  described  in
Note 1.

                         CELATOSE, S.A.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     (ALL AMOUNTS EXPRESSED IN THOUSANDS OF FRENCH FRANCS,

    UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER-SHARE DATA)



1.   ACCOUNTING POLICIES


1.1  BASIS OF PRESENTATION


Celatose,  S.A.  was  created  in 1934  and  specializes  in  the
production  of hygiene products for specific uses:  baby  diapers
sold  under distributors' brand names in France, and baby diapers
exported both under distributors' brand names and Celatose's  own
brand,   and   adult  incontinence  products  sold   under   both
distributors'  brands  and the Celatose  brand.   Celatose,  S.A.
stock  is 88.35% owned by the holding company Financiere Celatose
with the remaining shares being held by other outside investors.


Since  1988, Celatose, S.A. has been confronted with considerable
economic  difficulties, and in November 1995, was put  under  the
direction of a bankruptcy trustee.


In  early  1996,  investors (Inbrand Corporation,  a  corporation
organized under the laws of Georgia, USA and Jan Van Grinsven, an
individual  residing  in  the  Netherlands),  made  an  offer  to
purchase from the Celatose, S.A. trustee a portion of the  assets
of Celatose, S.A. and JAG, S.A. (a former subsidiary of Celatose,
S.A.).  This offer included the retention of the majority of  the
existing  employees of these two companies.   After  approval  of
this  offer by the Court (February 8, 1966), Inbrand France, S.A.
a societe anonyme organized under the laws of France, was created
by  the  investors.   The assets purchased consist  primarily  of
fixed  assets,  inventories and an investment in  a  wholly-owned
subsidiary of Celatose, S.A. (Laboratoires Alaune, S.A.R.L.).









                              F-8
<PAGE>

The  accompanying consolidated financial statements represent the
financial  statements  of  Celatose,  S.A.  and  the  two  above-
mentioned  subsidiaries,  for the year ended  December  31,  1995
presented as if the newly formed Group ("the Group") had  existed
as  an independent entity.  All significant intercompany balances
and  transactions,  and  investments in  former  subsidiaries  of
Celatose,  S.A.  have been eliminated.  On January  1,  1995  the
Group  was  operating on a going concern basis.   At  this  date,
assets and liabilities were recorded at historical value.  As  of
December  31,  1995, the Group was no longer considered  a  going
concern  as it was put under liquidation.  Due to this evolution,
substantially  all the assets at December 31,  1995  were  to  be
subsequently purchased by Inbrand Corporation and are  valued  at
an  adjusted acquisition cost.  Liabilities continue  to  reflect
book value as the ultimate repayment amount is pending completion
of the liquidation process.


The  consolidated  financial statements  have  been  prepared  in
accordance  with  French  accounting  regulations  applied  on  a
consistent basis for the period presented.  The French accounting
principles used, described below, require the use of management's
estimates, and differ in certain respects from generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States.  The differences with
regard to net loss and deficiency in assets are presented in Note
2.


The  financial information expressed in US dollars  is  presented
solely  for the convenience of the reader and is translated  from
French francs at the noon buying rate in New York on December 29,
1995 which was FRF.4.90675 for each US dollar.


1.2  PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION


The  accompanying consolidated financial statements are comprised
of  the  accounts  of  Celatose, S.A., and its  two  wholly-owned
subsidiaries,  Laboratoires Alaune, S.A.R.L. and JAG,  S.A.   All
significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.


1.3  FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS


At   year-end,  the  monetary  balances  denominated  in  foreign
currencies  are translated at the closing rates.   The  resulting
foreign exchange differences together with the exchange gains and
losses  on  transactions in foreign currencies for the  year  are
recognized as income.




                              F-9
<PAGE>

1.4  TRADE RECEIVABLES


Trade  receivables  are  valued  at  historical  cost,  with   an
allowance  for  doubtful accounts based on the  estimated  credit
risk of the Group's customers.  Receivables sold to third parties
are  excluded  from  Group  assets when  the  risks  and  rewards
associated  with  the  receivables are also transferred  to  said
third parties.


1.5  INVENTORIES


Finished  goods are valued at production cost which includes  raw
material  costs  and  direct  and  indirect  production  charges.
Finished  goods  are  carried at the lower  of  cost  or  market.
Allowances  for  slow moving inventories and obsolete  items  are
provided to reflect possible loss of value.  At December 31, 1995
an  additional  provision  was recorded  against  inventories  to
reflect  their fair value as measured by the purchase price  paid
by Inbrand.


1.6  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT


Property  and equipment is stated at cost and includes  buildings
and   machinery   acquired  under  capital  lease   arrangements.
Depreciation  is  based  on  the straight-line  method  over  the
estimated  useful lives of the depreciable assets.   Depreciation
of capital leases is included in depreciation expense.  Estimated
useful lives of depreciable assets are as follows:

Class                               Useful Life     Method

Buildings and improvements        20 to 33.3years  Straight-line
Machinery and equipment             5  to 8 years  Straight-line
Transportation equipment            4  to 5 years  Straight-line
Office equipment and furniture     5  to 10 years  Straight-line


1.7  INTANGIBLE ASSETS


Intangible  assets  consist primarily of  patents,  licenses  and
business intangibles.  These intangible assets are amortized on a
straight-line basis over 1 to 5 years.


1.8  REVENUE RECOGNITION


The  Group records revenue upon shipment or transfer of title  to
the customer.

                              F-10
<PAGE>

1.9  INCOME TAXES


The  Group  provides  for  deferred  income  taxes  on  temporary
differences  between  amounts for financial  and  tax  reporting.
Deferred tax assets are recognized if it is more likely than  not
that  some  portion  or all of the deferred  tax  asset  will  be
realized.   The  Group  uses  the liability  method  under  which
deferred  taxes are calculated applying legislated tax  rates  in
effect when the temporary differences will reverse.


1.10 TERMINATION INDEMNITIES


Termination indemnities are one-time payments due employees  upon
retirement.   The  obligation for this  indemnity  is  calculated
based  on  an evaluation giving consideration to estimated  final
salary  and  age at retirement, and is recognized in income  when
paid.  The amount of actuarially computed termination indemnities
as of December 31, 1995 is disclosed in Note 13.


1.11 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS


Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit at banks and
all  highly  liquid investments with insignificant interest  rate
risk  and purchased with an original maturity of three months  or
less.



2.   SIGNIFICANT  DIFFERENCES BETWEEN FRENCH  AND  UNITED  STATES
     GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES


The  Group  financial  statements comply with  French  accounting
regulations   which  differ  in  certain  respects   from   those
applicable  in  the  United States.  The significant  differences
that affect the consolidated net loss and deficiency in assets of
the Group are described below.


2.1  RESTRUCTURING COSTS


At  the end of 1994, the Group recorded a restructuring provision
amounting  to  FRF.4,000 thousands.  In 1995, the Group  reversed
the  entry.  Under US GAAP, restructuring provisions may only  be
recorded to recognize known specific liabilities or impairment of
existing  assets.   As of December 31, 1994, the  Group  had  not
specifically   identified  the  nature   or   location   of   the
restructuring measures to be adopted.




                              F-11
<PAGE>

2.2  TERMINATION INDEMNITY


In   France,   legislation  requires  that  lump  sum  retirement
indemnities  be paid to all employees based upon their  years  of
service  and  compensation at retirement.   Under  US  GAAP,  the
actuarial liability of this unfunded obligation would be recorded
as  a  liability which at December 31, 1995 amounts to  FRF.1,225
thousands.

Reconciliation to US GAAP

Following is a summary of the significant adjustments to net loss
for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the deficiency in assets
as  of  December 31, 1995 which would be required if US GAAP  had
been applied.

Restructuring costs relate primarily to termination costs and the
write-off of fixed assets no longer to be kept in service due  to
the restructuring plan.


For  supplementary information on the forgiveness  of  debt,  see
Note 7.


The  write-down  of  fixed  assets and  provisions  for  reducing
inventories to fair value have been determined by the acquisition
price paid by Inbrand.


The  special allowance for uncollectible receivables  relates  to
receivables  due  from former subsidiaries which  have  not  been
acquired by Inbrand (see Note 1.1).

committed  to purchase, with limited recourse, all rights,  title
and  interest in selected accounts receivable of the Group.  This
contract  applies  only to those receivables originating  through
transactions in France.


The  Group  has a factoring contract also with SLIFAC, but  which
relates only to those receivables originating from export sales.


As  of  December 31, 1995 the receivable balances  from  SFF  and
SLIFAC   are   FRF.11,659  thousands  and  FRF.7,802   thousands,
respectively.

On  January 1, 1994 the Group issued FRF.13,552 thousands of debt
in   the  form  of  convertible  bonds.   The  bonds  were  fully
underwritten  by the SDR de Nord-Pas-de-Calais and bear  interest
at 2% annually, payable each December 31.  This debt is due to be
paid  December  31, 2001.  However, the Group has  the  right  to
prepay   the   debt  before  December  31,  1997  for  FRF.13,552
thousands.


Beginning  January 1, 1998, the holders of these bonds  have  the
right  to  convert their bonds into shares newly  issued  by  the
Company with a per share value of FRF.30, on a one for one  basis
with  no  other  payment  required.  These  new  shares  have  no
underlying  obligations and carry the same right to dividends  as
if owned from the beginning of the period.

At  the  end  of 1994, Financiere Celatose, which  holds  an  85%
interest  in  the Group, acquired all of the Group's  convertible
bonds   underwritten   by  the  SDR  de  Nord-Pas-de-Calais   for
FRF.13,552 thousands.


Beginning  October  24, 1990, the date of the acceptance  by  the
court  of  an  earlier bankruptcy filing of Group  Celatose,  the
details  of the bankruptcy stipulated that all outstanding  long-
term  debt  be  repaid  equally over ten years  at  the  original
interest  rate.   In  1993,  Celatose  made  significant  capital
investments and consequently, entered into negotiations with  its
creditors to restructure the repayment of debt outstanding at the
date  of  bankruptcy.  It was agreed with the majority  of  these
creditors  that the interest related to the payments 1993,  1994,
and 1995 would be delayed until the years 1999, 2000 and 2001.


There  were  further negotiations in 1994 and 1995 which  reduced
debt  at  the end of 1995 by approximately FRF.125,000  thousands
and  resulted in a gain of FRF.59,695 thousands, or FRF.23.86 per
share  (see  Note 3).  All remaining debt has been classified  as
current  as  of February 8, 1996 as it was known that  the  Group
would  be legally declared bankrupt, and is valued at its nominal
amount pending the completion of the liquidation process at which
time the ultimate amount of settlement will be known.


8. CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS


Capital  lease obligations are comprised of a building lease  and
an  equipment  lease,  both  of which  are  non-cancellable.   At
December  31, 1995, all future minimum lease payments  have  been
considered  current due to the bankruptcy of the Group,  and  are
shown at their book value.

10.INCOME TAXES


As  of December 31, 1995, the Group had tax loss carryforwards of
FRF.233,170 thousands.  Due to the Group being in liquidation, it
was  considered  more  likely than not that  these  carryforwards
would not be utilized, and they are in no way recoverable by  the
acquiring company.  The tax loss carryforwards were not  recorded
as  deferred tax assets, and consequently, no valuation allowance
has been recorded against them.


11.FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


The  Group's  financial instruments consist  primarily  of  cash,
trade receivables, trade payables and debt instruments.  The book
value   of  cash,  trade  receivables  and  trade  payables   are
considered to be representative of their respective fair  values.
However, due to the bankruptcy of the Group, debt instruments  as
of December 31, 1995 are shown at their book value which does not
necessarily approximate fair value as determination of this value
is pending the completion of the liquidation process.

13.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


OFF-BALANCE SHEET COMMITMENTS


The amount of actuarially computed pension rights at December 31,
1995 is FRF.1,225 thousands.


LITIGATION


In  1989, Peaudouce, manufacturer of baby diapers, sued the Group
for FRF.500 thousands in punitive damages claiming that the Group
copied  two  of its patents related to disposable  diapers.   The
lawsuit  also prohibits the Group from manufacturing and  selling
diapers  related to these two patents, or be required  to  pay  a
compensation   penalty.   In  1989,  an   additional   claim   of
FRF.200,000 thousands was filed by Peaudouce.  In 1995, the Group
was  ordered to pay FRF.2,000 thousands in damages to  Peaudouce.
The  Group  is currently contesting this ruling, yet the  penalty
has been fully provided for.


14.MAJOR CUSTOMERS


In  1995,  the  Group had significant sales to only one  customer
which  amounted to FRF.65,582 thousands and represented 14.7%  of
total  sales.   Accounts  receivable from this  customer  totaled
FRF.3,184  thousands or 5.5% of outstanding net trade receivables
as of December 31, 1995.
