                                     TRION, INC.
                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 September 30, 1997

Note A - Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have 
been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore 
do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted 
accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of 
management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) 
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in the 
reported financial information.  For further information, refer to the 
consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Registrant's 
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.

Certain amounts in the consolidated condensed financial statements for the 
period ended September 30, 1996 have been reclassified to conform with the 
presentations and classifications consistent with the unaudited consolidated 
condensed financial statements for the nine month period ended September 30, 
1997.

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 
131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information 
("FASB 131"), which establishes standards for the reporting of finanical 
information from operating segments in annual and interim financial 
statements.  This Statement requires that financial information be reported on 
the basis that it is reported internally for evaluating segment performance 
and deciding how to allocate resources to segments.  Because this Statement 
addresses how supplemental financial information is disclosed in annual and 
interim reports, the adoption will have no impact on the financial statements. 
FASB 131 will become effective in 1998.

It is a standard and accepted practice used by the Company in the preparation 
of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting 
principles that estimates and assumptions are used by management that affect 
the amounts reported in the financial statements.  Actual results could differ 
from those estimates.

Note B - Net Income per Share of Common Stock
The pro forma weighted average shares outstanding for the period ended 
September 30, 1996 gives effect to the issuance of 500,000 shares of the 
Company's common stock as the purchase price of Herrmidifier.  These shares 
are included in the computation of pro forma weighted average shares 
outstanding as if they had been issued as of January 1, 1996.

Net income per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income by the 
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the 
periods.  The average number of common shares outstanding for the nine month 
period ended September 30 was 7,012,595 in 1997 and 6,972,093 in 1996, and 
7,035,912 and 6,978,519 for the three month periods ended September 30, 1997 
and 1996.  Outstanding stock options are not considered in computing earnings 
per share as the effect would not be material.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 
No. 128, Earnings per Share ("FASB 128"), which is required to be adopted on 
December 31, 1997. Under the new requirements for calculating primary earnings 
per share, the dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded.  The impact 
of adopting FASB 128 is not expected to be material.

Note C - Inventories
The Registrant does not maintain an integrated dollar perpetual inventory 
system.  During the interim periods, inventories are charged with actual costs 
incurred and relieved at products standard costs.  Such standards are updated 
at least annually.  Based upon the components of inventory at the preceding 
physical inventory date and charges to and relief of inventories during the 
interim period, the components of inventory are estimated as follows (in 
thousands):
                                        September 30   December 31
                                        __  1997 ___       1996    
 Raw materials . . . . . . . . . . . . .   $ 5,268       $ 4,939
 Work-in-process and finished goods. . .     4,473         4,390
                                           $ 9,741       $ 9,329

Cost of domestic raw materials inventory is determined by the last-in, first-
out method.  No provision has been made during the interim period to reflect 
changes in last-in, first-out values since the preceding December 31.  
Management believes that such provision, if any, would not be significant.

Consolidated net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 were 
$15,708,000 compared to $12,936,000 from the same period a year ago, a 21 
percent increase from 1996.  This increase was attributable to higher sales 
volumes in all of the Company's reported segments.  In North America, both the 
engineered products and consumer products areas recorded an 18 percent 
increase in net sales.  A large portion of the increase in the engineered 
products sector was attributable to the expected improvement in the 
performance of Envirco Corporation ("Envirco"), a Company subsidiary acquired 
in August 1995, whose principal customers are in the microelectronics and 
semiconductor manufacturing industry.  The increase in consumer products

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
is directly related to the earlier 1997 introduction of a new line of 
appliance products.  The Company's European operation posted a 49 percent gain 
over the previous year due to a general improvement in order levels and third 
quarter customer required shipment dates for engineered products in the 
locations served.  Normally, the third quarter in Europe is soft due to lower 
activity in the summer months in Europe.  Management expects that the 
performance of all segments will continue to improve over the long-term, but 
does not anticipate trends at the level recorded in the third quarter.

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were $47,037,000 as 
compared to $46,727,000 for the same period the year before, an increase of 1 
percent.  The primary reason for this increase was the aforementioned 
improvement in consumer products and European operations, partially offset by 
lower year to date performance of Envirco, which was impacted by a decrease in 
capital spending by the semiconductor and microelectronics industry in the 
first half of 1997.

The Company's backlog of unshipped customer orders was $7,263,000 at September 
30, 1997, a 5 percent increase over December 31, 1996 year-end backlog of 
$6,912,000, reflecting an increase in orders for the Company's specialized 
product line equipment.  Backlog of unshipped customer orders at September 30, 
1996 was $6,175,000.  The 18 percent increase from prior year was primarily 
due to increases in backlog at Envirco and the Company's European Operations.

On a consolidated basis, the cost of products sold as a percentage of sales 
for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997 were 66.3 percent and 
67.1 percent, respectively, as compared to 68.1 percent and 67.2 percent, 
respectively, a year ago.  These improvements were primarily due to higher 
sales volumes and improved absorption of fixed overheads offset by higher net 
sales in the Consumer Products segment which traditionally has a higher cost 
of products sold percentage than the Company's other segments.  Additionally 
on a year to date basis, cost of sales was impacted by start up costs incurred 
as a result of the introduction of the new appliance product line and 
operational improvements which included manufacturing process changes and the 
relocation of production lines into the Company's Sanford facility.  The 
Company has not incurred any significant price increases for raw materials as 
compared to those experienced a year ago.  Consolidated gross profit for the 
third quarter ended September 30, 1997 was $5,286,000 as compared to 
$4,133,000 in the 1996 period, the difference being primarily attributable to 
the higher sales volume.  Consolidated gross profit for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1997 was $15,492,000 as compared to $15,341,000 for the same 
period in 1996.

Consolidated selling, administrative and engineering expenses as a percentage 
of net sales decreased to 27.6 percent during the third quarter ended 
September 30, 1997, as compared to 33.7 percent in 1996.  This decrease is 
primarily attributable to the higher sales volume.  Consolidated selling, 
administrative and engineering expenses as a percentage of net sales for the 
current nine months period was 27.7 percent as compared to 27.8 percent a year 
ago.  

Interest expense during the third quarter and first nine months of 1997 was 
$263,000 and $738,000, respectively, as compared to $218,000 and $628,000 the 
year before due to additional borrowings needed to fund new products and 
process improvements.

The Company incurred onetime charges of $414,000 in connection with the 
acquisition of the Herrmidifier Company, Inc. ("Herrmidifier") of Lancaster, 
Pennsylvania in August 1996.  Herrmidifier manufactures residential, 
commercial and industrial humidification products.

Income taxes for the third quarter and first nine months of 1997 were $105,000 
and $507,000, respectively.  The 1997 and 1996 comparison of income taxes as a 
percentage of income before income taxes reflects the improved performance in 
the Company's European Operations segment whose income is offset by operating 
loss carryforwards.

Consolidated net income for the third quarter ended September 30, 1997 was 
$534,000 as compared to a loss of $600,000 reported a year ago.  The 
difference is primarily attributable to the higher net sales, a lower rate of 
cost of products sold, the aforementioned onetime acquisition costs associated 
with Herrmidifier and the lower effective income tax rate.  Consolidated net 
income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $1,041,000 as compared 
to $676,000 reported a year ago.  This difference is attributable to several 
factors: the lower sales volumes of Envirco offset by the higher consumer 
products net sales; the related cost of products sold impact of these sales as 
previously discussed; and the aforementioned onetime acquisition costs 
associated with Herrmidifier.

The resulting earnings per share reported for the third quarter and first nine 
months of 1997 were $0.08 and $0.15, respectively, as compared to a loss of 
$0.09 for the third quarter of 1996 and income of $0.10 for the nine months 
period in 1996.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

The financial condition of the Company is strong with the current ratio at 
2.0:1.  Working capital decreased to $12,180,000 from the $14,182,000 at 1996 
year-end.  This change is primarily the result of the Company's continued 
investment in tooling and capital equipment necessary to bring new products to 
market and improve and streamline production processes. Long-term debt is 38.1 
percent of equity and total shareholders' equity is $21,646,000.  The Company 
recently amended its existing credit agreement to incorporate grid pricing for 
the interest rates charged on borrowings. Originally, the Company borrowed 
funds at the London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") of interest plus 1.3 
percent.  Under the revised terms the Company will borrow at LIBOR plus 1.0 
percent to 1.75 percent - depending upon specified performance criteria.  The 
rate charged during the third quarter was 1.75 percent over LIBOR, or 
approximately 7.5% per annum.

The Company uses numerous software applications and computer programs 
throughout the various functions within its organization which may require 
modification in order to address the upcoming millennium change in the year 
2000.  The Company's assessment of the year 2000 issue, the impact on 
operations and the estimated cost will be completed during 1998.  The cost of 
making the necessary corrections will be expensed as incurred.  Management 
does not expect these costs to have a material impact on the Company's ongoing 
results of operations.

Management believes working capital and current credit arrangements will be 
adequate to meet its operating and capital requirements during the foreseeable 
future.
