MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


COMPARISON OF SECOND QUARTER 1997 TO SECOND QUARTER 1996

Worldwide net sales for the second quarter of 1997 were $48.6 million, up $4.0
million, or 9% from second quarter 1996.  All of the growth in sales came from
the addition of the MetalOptics product line acquired in September 1996.  

Including MetalOptics, U.S. sales increased 9% compared to 1996.  Internal sales
growth in the United States was off approximately 3% from 1996 when the large
Atlanta Olympic project was underway.  European sales in local currency were up
5% compared to last year due to stronger demand for the Company's products. 
Canadian sales were up 13% in local currency in 1997 compared to 1996 due to
stronger business conditions. 

Operating income was $6.5 million up from $6.3 million.  The increase in
operating income was due to higher sales volume, somewhat offset by higher
operating expenses compared to 1996. 

The $0.1 million decrease in net interest expense principally resulted from
lower average outstanding indebtedness.

Second quarter net income and earnings per common share were $3.9 million and
$0.34, respectively, compared with $3.6 million and $0.31 in 1996.


COMPARISON OF FIRST SIX MONTHS 1997 TO FIRST SIX MONTHS 1996

Net sales for the 1997 period were $95.0 million, up $12.4 million or
approximately 15% from the same period in 1996.  Including MetalOptics, U.S.
sales were up 18% from prior year.  Internal sales growth for the U.S. for the
year is 5%.   In local currencies, European sales have decreased 2% compared to
the prior year period and Canadian sales have increased 2% compared to 1996.

Operating income in 1997 was $11.9 million compared to $9.9 million in 1996. 
The increase in operating income is due to higher volume, somewhat offset by
higher operating expenses in 1997.

Net interest expense was $0.7 million in 1997 compared to $0.9 million in 1996.
The decrease in interest expense was due to lower outstanding debt balances.

Net income and earnings per common share for the first six months of 1997 were
$7.0 million and $0.60, respectively, compared to $5.6 million and $0.48 in
1996.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Working capital was $27.7 million as of June 30, 1997, up $0.6 million from
year-end 1996 due to higher cash balances offset by volume related decreases in
receivables and higher current liabilities.

Cash on hand, funds generated from operations and amounts available under the
Credit Agreement are expected to adequately fulfill Holophane's anticipated
requirements for the remainder of 1997.
