                        INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT






To the Board of Directors & Stockholders of
   SORBIE ACQUISITION COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of SORBIE
ACQUISITION COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES as of December 31, 1995 and
December 31, 1994, and the related combined statements of operations,
retained earnings, and cash flows for the year and period then ended.
These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
combined financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
combined 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred
to above paragraph present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of SORBIE ACQUISITION COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES as of December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
year and period then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

              (b)  Pro Forma Financial Information

     On June 27, 1996, the Registrant, pursuant to stock
purchase and other agreements, acquired all of the
outstanding capital stock of Sorbie Acquisition Co. and
Subsidiaries ("Sorbie") for 32,632 shares of common stock of
the Registrant, in addition to other consideration.  Sorbie
had been a major customer of the Registrant.

     The following pro forma financial statements represent
historical financial statements of the Registrant and Sorbie
as if the transaction had taken place as of the beginning of
1994 and for the year-ended December 31, 1995.  The
Registrant accounted for the acquisition as a purchase and
recorded approximately $775,000 as the cost in excess of the
fair market value of the assets acquired.  The pro forma
financial statements reflect amortization of goodwill over a
30 year period.

     The pro forma statements may not be indicative of the
results that would have occurred if the acquisition had been
effective as of the dates indicated, or the results of
operation that may be obtained in the future.  The pro forma
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
information filed with the 8-K dated June 28, 1996,
as well as the first amendment to that 8-K, filed August 22,
1996.
