                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


               (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) (UNUADITED)


NOTE 1.  CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Reunion
Industries, Inc. ("RII")  and its majority owned subsidiaries.  As used herein,
the term "Company" refers to RII, its predecessors and its subsidiaries, unless
the context indicates otherwise.  All intercompany transactions and accounts are
eliminated in consolidation.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT JUNE 30, 1997

     The Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 1997, and the Consolidated
Statements of  Operations and Cash Flows for the three and six  months ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996 included herein are unaudited; however, in the opinion of
management  of the Company, they  reflect all adjustments necessary to present
fairly the results for the interim periods. Such results are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for the year.   The Consolidated Balance
Sheet at December 31, 1996 has been derived from the audited financial
statements at that date.   For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on  Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.


EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Earnings per Common Share and Common Share Equivalent are computed based on
the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding
during each period.  Common equivalent shares include shares issuable upon
exercise of the Company's stock options and warrants. For the three and six
months ended June  30,  1997 and 1996,  common equivalent shares relating to
options and warrants to purchase common stock were not included in the weighted
average number of shares because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.


ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued several
accounting pronouncements which the company will be required to adopt in future
periods.

     FASB Statement No. 128 "Earnings per Share" establishes new guidelines for
the calculation of and disclosures regarding earnings per share.  The company
will adopt the provisions of Statement 128 during the fourth quarter of 1997 and
at that time will be required to present basic and diluted earnings per share
and to restate all prior periods.  There will be no impact on the calculation of
basic earnings per share for the quarters ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996.
Diluted earnings per share is not expected to differ materially from basic
earnings per share.

     The company  will adopt FASB Statement No. 129 "Disclosure of Information
About Capital Structure" during the fourth quarter of 1997.  The company does
not expect that adoption of the disclosure requirements of this pronouncement
will have a material impact on its financial statements.

     FASB Statement No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which the company
will adopt during the first quarter of 1998, establishes standards for reporting
and display of comprehensive income and its components in financial statements.
Comprehensive income generally represents all changes in shareholders' equity
except those resulting from investments by or distributions to shareholders.
With the exception of net earnings, such changes are generally not significant
to the company; and the adoption of Statement No. 130, including the required
comparative presentation for prior periods, is not expected to have a material
impact on its financial statements.

               (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) (UNAUDITED)
 

     FASB Statement No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information" requires that a publicly-held company report financial and
descriptive information about its operating segments in financial statements
issued to shareholders for interim and annual periods.  Although the Company
operates in only one segment, the Statement also requires additional disclosures
with respect to products and services, geographic areas of operation, and major
customers which have not previously  been presented in the consolidated
financial statements and related notes.  The company expects to adopt Statement
No. 131 in the first quarter of 1998.


NOTE 2.  BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

ROSTONE

        On February 2, 1996, the Company acquired Rostone Corporation
("Rostone") which was merged with and into the Company's subsidiary, Oneida
Molded Plastics Corp. ("Oneida").  The surviving corporation changed its name to
Oneida Rostone Corp. ("ORC").  The Rostone acquisition was accounted for using
the purchase method, and the results of Rostone's operations are included in the
Company's consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition,
February 2, 1996.

DATA PACKAGING LIMITED

     On October 21, 1996, DPL Acquisition Corp. ("DPLAC"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of ORC, acquired a 27.5% interest in Data Packaging Limited ("DPL"),
a Bermuda corporation operating in Ireland. On November 18, 1996, DPLAC acquired
an additional 68% of the outstanding stock of DPL. Together, these transactions
represent the "DPL Acquisition." The remaining 4.5% of the outstanding stock of
DPL is owned by Forbairt, an agency of the Irish government, and is accounted
for as a minority interest in the accompanying financial statements. The DPL
Acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method and the results of DPL's
operations are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date
of acquisition.


QUALITY MOLDED PRODUCTS

     On November 18, 1996, ORC acquired (the "QMP Acquisition") substantially
all of the assets and the business and assumed certain liabilities of Quality
Molded Products, Inc. ("QMP").   The QMP Acquisition was accounted for using the
purchase method, and the results of QMP's operations are included in the
consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

PRO FORMA RESULTS

     The following unaudited pro forma results of operations for the three and
six months  months ended  June 30,  1996  have been prepared assuming the
acquisitions of  Rostone, DPL and QMP had occurred as of January 1, 1996. These
pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the results of future
operations or of results that would have occurred had the acquisitions been
consummated as of that date.

NOTE 4.  CONTINGENCIES

     In early 1996, the State of  California Franchise Tax Board initiated  an
audit of the Company's  franchise tax returns for the years 1991, 1992 and 1993.
In  October 1996, the Company received a formal notice of assessment from the
taxing authority in the aggregate amount of $716 plus interest.  Of this amount,
$645 results from the auditor's conclusion that income from gains on sales of
certain Canadian assets in 1991 should be reclassified from nonbusiness to
business income.   The  Company believes its classification of such income was
correct, and has  appealed  the assessment of tax.  If the Company's positions
prevail on this issue, management believes that the amounts due would not exceed
amounts previously paid or provided for.   No additional  accruals have been
made for  any amounts that may be due if the Company does not prevail   because
the  outcome cannot be determined.   The Company  recorded a provision for  $85
in 1996 for certain other adjustments proposed.

                   REUNION INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES



     In connection with the sale of Reunion Energy Company ("REC"),  the Company
retained certain oil and gas properties in Louisiana because of litigation
concerning environmental matters. The Company is in the process of environmental
remediation under a plan approved by the Louisiana Office of Conservation. The
Company has recorded an accrual of  $533 for its proportionate share of the
remaining estimated costs to remediate the site based on plans and estimates
developed by the environmental consultants hired by the Company. Owners of a
portion of the property have objected to the Company's proposed cleanup
methodology and have filed suit to require additional procedures. The Company is
contesting this litigation, and believes its proposed clean up methodology is
well within accepted industry practice for remediation efforts of a similar
nature. No accrual has been made for any additional costs of possible
alternative clean up methods because the nature and dollar amount of such
alternative cannot presently be determined.

NOTE 5.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT

      On August 7, 1997, the Juliana Preserve, a joint venture partnership in
which the Company has a 71.7% economic interest and a 50% voting interest, sold
approximately 500 acres of the approximately 4,700 acres controlled by the joint
venture and held for sale since December 1996. Under the terms of the joint
venture agreement, the net proceeds were used to repay debt owed by the joint
venture. The Company will recognize no gain or loss or cash proceeds as a result
of this transaction. The joint venture continues to seek a buyer or buyers for
the remainder of the property.


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

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

     This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.  These forward-looking statements speak only as of the
date of this Form 10-Q, and the Company expressly disclaims any obligation or
undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to any forward-looking
statements contained herein.  Although the Company believes that its
expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, it cannot assure that the
expectations contained in such forward-looking statements will be achieved.
Such statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions which could cause
actual results to differ materially from those contained in such statements.
The Company's operations are affected by domestic and international economic
conditions which affect the volume and pricing of sales of business and consumer
goods, for which the Company produces components, the cost and availability of
materials, labor and other goods and services used in the Company's operations
and the cost of interest on the Company's debt.

GENERAL

     The Company's principal operations are in the plastic products industry.
During 1996 the Company completed the Rostone, DPL and QMP Acquisitions which
added new customers and products to the plastic products segment. The Company is
considering additional acquisitions to increase its customer base and expand its
product offerings and service capabilities in the plastics industry. In
addition, the Company may consider acquisitions in other industries.

     The Company and Chatwins Group, Inc. ("Chatwins")  are considering the
merger of  Chatwins with and into the Company following the third anniversary of
the acquisition by Chatwins, in June 1995, of approximately 38% of the Company's
outstanding common stock.   However, this or any other transaction between
Chatwins and the Company in which Chatwins has an interest separate from that of
the Company will be subject to approval by the Boards of Directors of the
Company and of Chatwins and compliance by Chatwins with the covenants in its
financing agreements. There can be no assurance that any transaction will be
proposed or that any proposed transaction will be consummated.

     Discontinued operations consist of the Company's former oil and gas
operations, sold in 1996, and wine grape agricultural and real estate
development operations, held for sale since December 1996.

RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
--------------------------------

     The Company  recognized a loss from continuing operations of $ 0.4 million
during the three months ended June 30, 1997 compared to income of $0.1 million
for the comparable prior year period.  The 1997 period includes a full three
months of  results of  the businesses acquired in November 1996 (QMP and DPL)
described in Note 2  "Business Acquisitions." The 1996 period  does not include
the results of QMP and DPL which were acquired  later that year.

     PLASTICS PRODUCTS SEGMENT: The Company, through its wholly  owned
subsidiary ORC, manufactures high volume, precision plastic products and
provides engineered plastic services.  Revenues and operating income of the
plastic products segment were $23.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for
the three months ended June 30, 1997. This compares to revenues and operating
profit of $14.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively,  for the three months
ended June 30, 1996.

     During the second calendar quarter of 1997, a strike of the Company's
unionized factory  work force took place at ORC's Rostone division.  The work
stoppage occurred on April 15, 1997 and continued until May 15, 1997.  Rostone
used office personnel, temporary  workers and new hires to minimize the impact
of the strike on product shipments and the loss of customer business.  Rostone,
however, experienced excess  scrap, labor inefficiencies and  higher than normal
product returns during the strike period and incurred additional overtime
subsequent to the strike in restoring normal production.  As a result of the
strike, sales and operating income were approximately $2.0 million and $1.0
million, respectively, less than expected for the period.

     Revenues increased $9.2 million to $23.5 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1997 from $14.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996.  The
majority of the 64.3% increase in revenues is attributable to the business
acquisitions completed during 1996 offset by the effects of the strike at
Rostone.  Tooling sales for the three months ended June 30, 1997 were $1.1
million, versus sales   of $1.3 million for the prior year period.  Excluding
effects of acquisitions, tooling sales decreased by $0.4  million for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the prior year period.   Plastic products
segment backlog totaled $ 22.1 million at June 30, 1997, compared to backlog  of
$25.1 million at  December 31, 1996 and backlog of $16.8 million at June 30,
1996.

     Cost of sales totaled $20.3 million, or 86.3% of net sales, for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $11.7 million, or 82.1% of net sales for
the three months ended June 30, 1996.  As a result of the increase in sales,
offset by the effects of the strike, gross margins increased to  $3.2 million,
or 13.7% of net sales for the three months ended June 30,  1997 from $2.6
million, or 18.9% of net sales in the prior year period.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2.4 million for  the
three months ended June 30, 1997, compared to $1.6  million for the three months
ended June 30, 1996,  reflecting the businesses acquired in 1996.  Operating
income  was $0.8 million  for the three months ended June 30, 1997  compared to
income of  $1.0  million  in the comparable 1996 period.

     CORPORATE GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE: Corporate general and
administrative expenses, consisting primarily of executive and administrative
salaries and benefits, professional fees and other public company costs, totaled
$0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $0.3 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1996.  The 1996 period expenses are net of
$0.3 million in reversals of certain charges for office closing and severance
costs accrued in 1995.

     OTHER INCOME AND (EXPENSE): Interest expense was $0.8 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $0.6 million as a result of interest on
ORC debt subsequent to the QMP and DPL Acquisitions.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
------------------------------

     The Company  recognized a loss from continuing operations of $ 0.1 million
during the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to a loss of $0.3 million for
the comparable prior year period.  The 1997 period reflects a full six  months
of  results of each of the businesses acquired in February 1996 (Rostone) and
November 1996 (QMP and DPL)  described in Note 2  "Business Acquisitions." The
1996 period  includes five months of Rostone's results, acquired in February
1996, and does not include the results of QMP and DPL acquired  later in the
year.

     PLASTICS PRODUCTS SEGMENT: The Company, through its wholly  owned
subsidiary ORC, manufactures high volume, precision plastic products and
provides engineered plastic services.  Revenues and operating income of the
plastic products segment were $48.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively,  for
the six months ended June 30, 1997. This compares to revenues and operating
profit of $28.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively,  for the six months
ended June 30, 1996.

     During the second calendar quarter of 1997, a strike of the Company's
unionized factory  work force took place at ORC's Rostone division.  The work
stoppage occurred on April 15, 1997 and continued until May 15, 1997.  Rostone
used office personnel, temporary  workers and new hires to minimize the impact
of the strike on product shipments and the loss of customer business.  Rostone,
however, experienced excess scrap, labor  inefficiencies and  higher than normal
product returns during the strike period and incurred additional overtime
subsequent to the strike in restoring normal production.  As a result of the
strike, sales and operating income were approximately $2.0 million and $1.0
million, respectively, less than expected for the period.

     Revenues increased $19.9 million to $48.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 from $28.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The
majority of the 70.6% increase in revenues is attributable to the business
acquisitions completed during 1996.  The remaining increase in revenues
contributed from the existing business is attributable to parts sales to new
customers combined with higher levels of sales to existing customers, offset by
the effects of the strike.  Tooling sales for the six months ended June 30, 1997
were $2.5 million, compared to sales  of $2.8 million for the prior year period.
Excluding effects of acquisitions, tooling sales decreased by $0.7 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the prior year period.   Plastic
products segment backlog totaled $ 22.1 million at June 30, 1997, compared to
backlog  of  $25.1 million at  December 31, 1996 and backlog of $16.8 million at
June 30, 1996.

     Cost of sales totaled $41.1 million, or 85.3% of net sales, for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $23.5 million, or 83.2% of net sales for
the six months ended June 30, 1996.  As a result of the increase in sales,
offset by the effects of the strike, gross margins increased to  $7.1 million,
or 14.7% of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $4.7  million,
or 16.8% of net sales in the prior year period.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4.8  million for  the
six months ended June 30, 1997, compared to $3.0 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1996,  reflecting the businesses acquired in 1996. Operating
income was $2.2  million, for the six months ended June 30, 1997  compared to
$1.7 million, in the comparable 1996 period.

     CORPORATE GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE: Corporate general and
administrative expenses, consisting primarily of executive and administrative
salaries and benefits, professional fees and other public company costs, totaled
$1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 comparable to $1.0 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The expenses for the six months ended
March 31, 1996  included occupancy and office costs for both the Company's
previous headquarters in Houston, Texas, closed in May 1996, and its new
headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut, and are net of $0.3 million in reversals
of certain charges for office closing and severance costs accrued in 1995.
 
     OTHER INCOME AND (EXPENSE): Interest expense was $1.5 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $1.1 million as a result of interest on
ORC debt subsequent to the Rostone, QMP and DPL Acquisitions.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

     The Company resolved to sell  its agricultural operations in December 1996
and recorded a provision in 1996 to record estimated losses on disposal and
estimated losses in 1997 through the date of disposition.  In May 1996, the
Company sold its REC subsidiary which substantially completed the disposition of
its oil and gas operations.  The Company retained certain Louisiana oil and gas
properties because of litigation concerning environmental contamination.

     Results  from discontinued operations  for the six months ended June 30,
1996 were income of $1.0 million including a $1.6 million gain from an insurance
reimbursement offset by a $0.4 million adjustment to the loss on disposition of
the oil and gas business and $0.2 million of interest expense and depreciation
from the Company's discontinued agricultural operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

SUMMARY OF 1997 ACTIVITIES

     Cash and cash equivalents totaled $2.4 million at June 30, 1997.  During
the six  months  ended June 30, 1997, cash increased $1.0 million, with $2.6
million provided   by operations, $0.4 million used  by investing activities and
$1.2 million used  by  financing activities.

     INVESTING ACTIVITIES: Capital expenditures were $2.6 million, and the
Company  received $2.2 million, plus interest, in final payment on the sale of
the REC subsidiary.

     FINANCING ACTIVITIES: Principal payments reduced long-term obligations by
$1.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 1997.   Proceeds from new term
loan borrowings totaled $1.2 million.  Payments of  net revolving loan
borrowings totaled $0.6 million.

     OPERATING ACTIVITIES: Net cash provided by  operating activities was $2.6
million in 1997.

FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE LIQUIDITY

     Because of various restrictions included in the Company's loan
arrangements, management must separately consider liquidity and financing for
corporate requirements, ORC and discontinued operations.

     CORPORATE: Management estimates that corporate expenses, including salaries
and benefits, professional fees and other public company costs, will approximate
$1.6 million in 1997. The Company's source of funds for these requirements and
for future acquisitions, other than from additional borrowings, are from
permitted payments by ORC and from cash generated by the operations or sale of
discontinued operations and other assets held for sale.

     ORC's credit facility with Congress Financial Corporation ("Congress")
limits payments to Reunion by ORC. If certain levels of availability (as defined
in the loan agreements) are maintained, ORC is permitted to pay Reunion
management fees of up to $0.3 million, dividends on preferred stock of up to
$0.6 million, and tax sharing payments of up to 50% of the tax savings realized
by ORC because of Reunion's net operating loss carryovers. There can be no
assurances that ORC will be able to maintain the required levels of availability
and be permitted to make the management fee and tax sharing fee payments to
Reunion. In any event, the maximum amount of such payments is not expected to be
sufficient for Reunion's corporate operating and debt service requirements.

     In February 1997, the Company received repayment on the $2.2 million note,
including interest thereon, from the sale of REC.

     As result of the above transactions, management believes that the Company
will have sufficient resources to meet its corporate obligations as they become
due over the next twelve months.

                   REUNION INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


     ORC: On February 2, 1996, in connection with the Rostone Acquisition, ORC
entered into a new credit facility with Congress which was amended in November
1996 in connection with the QMP Acquisition. The credit facility as amended
provides for maximum borrowings of $20.0 million under a term loan in the
original amount of $7.7 million and revolving loans based on the eligible
balances of accounts receivable and inventory. Management believes that ORC's
cash flow from operations, together with this credit facility and permitted
levels of capital and operating leases, will be sufficient for  ORC's operating
requirements, including capital expenditures and debt service, over the next
twelve months.  At June 30, 1997 ORC had $2.6 million in revolving credit
availability.

     DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS: In connection with the decision to discontinue the
agricultural operations, the Company has halted real estate development
activities and, as of April 2, 1997, has canceled its development agreement with
Pacific Union. Based on projections of farming costs and capital requirements
for the 1997 crop year, the Company believes that the only liquidity
requirements for the discontinued agricultural operations prior to their sale
will be approximately $0.3 million for debt service, which the Company expects
to fund from its cash balances.

     On August 7, 1997, The Juliana Preserve, a joint venture partnership in
which the Company has a 71.7% economic interest  and a 50% voting interest, sold
approximately 500 acres of the approximately 4,700 acres controlled by the joint
venture and held for sale since December 1996. Under the terms of the joint
venture agreement, the net proceeds were used to repay debt owed by the joint
venture. The Company will recognize no gain or loss or cash proceeds as a result
of this transaction. The joint venture continues to seek a buyer or buyers for
the remainder of the property.


CONTINGENCIES AND UNCERTAINTIES

     In early 1996, the State of  California Franchise Tax Board initiated an
audit of the Company's franchise tax returns for the years 1991, 1992 and 1993.
In October 1996, the Company received a formal notice of assessment from the
taxing authority in the aggregate amount of $0.7 million. Of this amount, $0.6
million results from the auditor's conclusion that income from gain on sales of
certain Canadian assets in 1991 should be reclassified from nonbusiness to
business income. The Company believes its classification of such income was
correct, and has appealed the assessment of tax. If the Company's positions
prevail on this issue, management believes that the amounts due would not exceed
amounts previously paid or provided for. No additional accruals have been made
for any amounts that may be due if the Company does not prevail because the
outcome cannot be determined. The Company recorded a provision of $0.1 million
for certain other adjustments proposed.

     In connection with the sale of REC, the Company retained certain properties
in Louisiana because of litigation concerning environmental matters. The Company
is in the process of environmental remediation under a plan approved by the
Louisiana Office of Conservation. The Company has recorded an accrual of $0.5
million for its proportionate share of the remaining estimated costs to
remediate the site based on plans and estimates developed by the environmental
consultants hired by the Company. Owners of a portion of the property have
objected to the Company's proposed cleanup methodology and have filed suit to
require additional procedures. The Company is contesting this litigation, and
believes its proposed clean up methodology is well within accepted industry
practice for remediation efforts of a similar nature. No accrual has been made
for any additional costs of possible alternative clean up methods because the
nature and dollar amount of such alternative cannot presently be determined.
