                  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
               Financial Condition and Results of Operations
                                     
                                     
Results of Operations

                Three months ended December 31, 1996 versus
                   Three months ended December 31, 1995
                                     
   Sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1997 were $12.8 million, a
9.8% increase over the $11.6 million reported in the second quarter of
fiscal 1996.  Unit sales increased approximately 16% for the same
comparative time periods.  Incoming order units for January 1997 are
about 13% higher than those of the previous year.  Projected unit orders
for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 are approximately 9% higher than
those of the previous year's comparative period.

   Manufacturing costs, which include depreciation and interest, were
approximately 55.2% of sales compared to 58.1% of sales for the
corresponding prior year period.  Product mix resulted in a decrease in
material costs from 28.8% of sales in 1995 to 26% of sales in 1996.
Manufacturing labor as a percentage of sales decreased from 17.9% to
17.l%.

   Overhead costs increased from 11.4% to 12.1% of sales for the
comparative second quarters.

   Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased
from 26.6% to 30.3%.  Contributing primarily to this increase
were payroll and related costs (payroll taxes and insurance) which
increased from 14.4% to 16.2% of sales and dealer promotion costs which
increased from 1.3% to 3.8% of sales for the respective second quarters.

   Investment income, comprised of interest, dividends and gains from
sales of marketable securities increased approximately 17% over last
year's second quarter.

   Net income after taxes for the current year's second quarter was $1.2
million or 9.2% of sales compared to $1.1 million or 9.9% of sales
for the previous year's second quarter.


                 Six months ended December 31, 1996 versus
                    Six months ended December 31, 1995
                                     
                                     
   Sales for the current year's first six months were $26.2 million, an
18.5% increase over last year's volume of $22.1 million for the same
period.  Unit sales rose 13.8% over last year's similar six month period.

   Manufacturing costs decreased from 58.4% to 57.1% of sales for the
corresponding six month periods.  Material costs decreased from 28.3% to
27.9% of sales.  Manufacturing labor also decreased from 18.2% to 17.3%
of sales, while overhead costs as a percentage of sales remained the same.

                                    -6-<PAGE>

   Selling and administrative expenses rose approximately $1 million, but
as a percentage of sales decreased from 28.9% to 28.2%.  Payroll and
related costs (payroll taxes and insurance) increased approximately
$480,000 but decreased as a percentage of sales from 16.8% to 16.0%.
Dealer promotion costs increased approximately $330,000 and as a
percentage of sales increased from 1% to 2.1%.

   Investment income increased approximately 8% over last year's
corresponding period.

   Net income after taxes for the first six months of fiscal 1997 was
$2.5 million or $9.4% of sales compared to $1.8 million or 8.3% of sales
for the previous year's six month period.

   Thermal normally operates at a loss in the third quarter of its fiscal
year due to the seasonal nature of the business.  The Company does not
expect a departure from this cyclical loss.


                      Liquidity and Capital Resources
                                     
                                     
   Net cash flow showed approximately a $3 million increase for the first
six months of fiscal 1997.  Cash provided by operating activities was due
primarily to a positive cash flow generated from earnings, decreases in
current accounts receivable and inventories and increases in accounts
payable, all of which were partially offset by increases in prepaid
expenses and miscellaneous receivables.

   Investing activities used cash in the amount of $848,746 primarily from
capital expenditures and an increase in long term trade accounts receivable
of $239,920.  Capital expenditures for the current six months
were $374,673 compared to $622,509 for last year's six month period.
Total expenditures for equipment are expected to be approximately $2
million for fiscal 1997.

   The Company believes that the cash flows provided from operating and
investing activities will be sufficient to meet all of its anticipated
fiscal 1997 needs for capital expenditures, debt retirement and operating
activities.

Item 6(a).  REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS





To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of Thermal Industries, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of
Thermal Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (a Pennsylvania corporation) as
of December  31, 1996, and the related condensed consolidated statements of
income and cash flows for the three-month and six-month periods then ended.
These financial statements are the    responsibility of the company's
management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical
procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible
for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope
than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding
the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express
such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
