THESE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.




                         ARDEN INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS, INC.
               NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED

1.     Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 1996, the
condensed statements of income for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and
1995, and the condensed statements of cash flows for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995, reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal
recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of the management of Arden
Industrial Products, Inc. (the "Company"), are necessary for a fair statement of
financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods
presented. These financial statements are condensed and do not include all
information required by generally accepted accounting principles. These
condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements and notes thereto for the Company's fiscal year ended June
30, 1996. The operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the operating results to be expected for a full fiscal year.


Item 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion contains forward looking statements. Future operating
results are subject to fluctuations not within the control of the Company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales for the three months ended September 30, 1996 were $23,691,000 with a net
loss of $101,000, or $.01 per share compared to sales of $19,916,000 and a net
loss of $36,000, or $.01 per share for the same period last year. Increased
revenues were offset primarily by a decrease in gross margin and increased costs
due to service and operating issues associated with the Company's information
system.

Sales for the three months ended September 30, 1996 increased 19% compared to
the same period last year due to increased revenues from the Company's inventory
management accounts. The Company's major customer represented 18% of sales for
the three months ended September 30, 1996, up from 14% for the same period last
year. Sales to inventory management accounts, excluding sales to the Company's
major customer, represented 30% of sales for the three months ended September
30, 1996 compared to 22% for the same period last year. Traditional customer
sales represented 52% of sales for the three months ended September 30, 1996
compared to 64% for the same period last year.

The growth in sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 is not necessarily
indicative of the Company's future sales growth. The Company anticipates that
second quarter sales will approximate sales for the comparable period of fiscal
1996. This flattening of sales is caused by the seasonality in demand by our
larger customers which were historically offset by new account growth.

Inventory management accounts differ from the Company's traditional customer
base in that they generate greater sales volumes and include value-added
services in the cost of the product. Value-added services reduce the customers'
overall fastener-related procurement, handling, assembly and administrative
costs. The traditional customer generally purchases fasteners based on product
availability and price.

Gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 was 27.4%
and 29.3% of sales, respectively. The primary reason for the decrease in gross
margin was inventory shrinkage from the Company shipping product for which the
information system did not automatically generate an invoice. The Company is
pursuing collection of these shipments, but is uncertain as to its
recoverability at this time. Management is currently implementing corrective
procedures to address this issue.

Operating expenses were $6,685,000, or 28.2% of sales for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 compared to $5,920,000, or 29.7% of sales, for the same
period last year. The $765,000 increase in operating expenses were primarily the
result of the information system issues, depreciation and software licensing
fees. The costs related to the information system issues are anticipated to
continue at the same level during the second quarter and at reduced levels
during the second half of fiscal 1997.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the three months ended September 30, 1996, the Company funded operations
with cash borrowed from the Company's revolving credit facility. The Company
used $2,643,000 of net cash for operations in the first three months compared
with net cash used of $3,554,000 in the same period last year.

There was no change in accounts receivable in the three months ended September
30, 1996. The 19% increase in revenues was offset by improved collection
efforts.

Inventory increased $3,624,000 in the three months ended September 30, 1996.
Because of information system errors, the Company overpurchased inventory in
order to assure adequate service to its customers. By addressing the information
system issues, Management believes that the Company will be able to reduce its
future inventory levels.

The Company has a $10 million unsecured revolving credit line for working
capital needs, maturing November 30, 1997. Advances are due on demand. Amounts
outstanding under this agreement bear interest at 1.8% over the LIBOR. The
Company utilized up to $3,273,000 of the line of credit in the first quarter of
fiscal 1997.

Management considers its cash needs to fund operations and capital requirements
for the current fiscal year to be adequately covered by its operations and
available borrowing under the revolving credit agreement.
