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


NOTE 1.  CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Reunion
Industries, Inc. ("RII" or "Reunion")  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 SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

     The Consolidated Balance Sheet at September   30, 1998, and the
Consolidated Statements of  Operations and Cash Flows for the periods  ended
September  30, 1998 and 1997 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, 1997 has been derived from the
audited financial statements at that date.   The accompanying financial
statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with that used in the
preparation of the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.   For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in such Annual Report.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

      Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share
gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during this
period.  Potential  common shares include shares issuable upon exercise of the
Company's stock options and warrants.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     The Company has adopted FASB Statement No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income" which establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive
income and its components.

     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. 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 will  adopt Statement No.
131 for 1998 year end reporting purposes.

     FASB Statement No. 132 "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other
Postretirement Benefits" revises employers' disclosures about pension and other
postretirement benefit plans.  The Statement does not change the measurement or
recognition of those plans.  It standardizes the disclosure requirements for
pensions and other postretirement benefits and eliminates certain disclosures
that are no longer as useful as they previously  were.  The Company will adopt
Statement No. 132 for 1998 year end reporting purposes.

               (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) (UNAUDITED)
 
     FASB Statement No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging 
Activities" requires that derivative instruments such as options, forward 
contracts and swaps be recorded as assets and liabilities at fair value and 
provides guidance for recognition of changes in fair value depending on the 
reason for holding the derivative.  The Company does not presently have 
significant transactions involving derivative instruments, but may do so in the 
future.  The Company is required to adopt Statement No. 133 for the first 
quarter of 2000 and may adopt it earlier.

NOTE 2.  INVENTORIES

  Inventories consisted of the following:

 
                           SEPTEMBER 30, 1998  DECEMBER 31, 1997
                           ------------------  -----------------

                                 ========           =========
 

NOTE 3.  CHATWINS MERGER

     The May 31, 1998 Merger Agreement with Chatwins Group, Inc. has been
terminated by mutual agreement. This decision was made as a result of the
inability to arrange sufficient financing to refinance all of the debt of the
combined companies under current market conditions.

     As a result, the Company has recorded a charge of $1,362 in the third
quarter of 1998 to write off  the accumulated legal, investment banking and
other costs related to the proposed merger and refinancing.


NOTE 4.  INVESTMENT IN THE JULIANA PRESERVE

     On September 29, 1998, the Company completed the purchase of its joint
venture partner's interest in the Juliana Preserve joint venture for a total
cost of $5,878 including closing expenses.  The Company  also paid the joint
venture partner $140 in interest for the delay in closing from June 1, 1998.
The purchase price included a $3,700 four-month note with interest at prime rate
plus 2% per annum, secured by liens on the Juliana Preserve property.

     Simultaneously with the purchase, the Company sold three parcels to a third
party for $2,700 cash.  These proceeds were used to fund the cash portion of
the joint venture interest purchase.  The Company also conveyed ownership of one
parcel, together with easements, equipment and water rights, to the Juliana
Mutual Water Company, which will provide water to all owners of parcels within
the Juliana Preserve, including the Company.

     As a result of these transactions, the Company owns 100% of the remaining
36 parcels.  The property totals approximately 3,800 acres, of which
approximately 1,200 acres are suitable for wine grape production and of which
350 acres are currently in production.

     Because of voting rights held by the joint venture partner, the Company
accounted for its investment on the equity method through the date of purchase.

NOTE 5.  INCOME TAX REFUND AND NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYFORWARDS

     In August 1998, the Company reached a settlement with the IRS on its appeal
of the denial of the Company's request for refund of Alternative Minimum Tax
paid in 1990 and 1991.  As a result of the settlement, the Company received
refunds totaling $676 including interest.  Because of the uncertainty  over
realization of the refund, the Company had recorded an allowance of $750 in 1996
for the possible denial of the refund claim with a corresponding charge to
income tax expense.  As a result of the settlement, the company has recorded an
income tax benefit of $676 in the quarter ended September 30, 1998.

     As part of the settlement, the IRS also confirmed the amounts of the
Company's net operating loss  carryforwards ("NOLs")  as of December 1993.
Based on the amounts confirmed, the revised amounts of the Company's NOLs as of
December 31, 1997 expire as follows:

NOTE 6.  CONTINGENCIES

     On April 24, 1998, a jury in state district court in Harris County, Texas
returned jury verdict findings that Bargo Energy Company ("Bargo") had a right
to terminate a November 1995 stock purchase agreement with the Company and that
the Company fraudulently induced Bargo into entering into the agreement.  The
November 1995 stock purchase agreement concerned the sale of  the Company's
subsidiary, Reunion Energy Company ("REC"), which operated the Company's
discontinued oil and gas business.  The jury recommended that an award of $5,000
in punitive damages be assessed against the Company.  In July 1998, the court
entered judgment affirming the $5,000 jury verdict and awarding approximately
$3,000 in attorneys' fees and costs.  The Company  maintained at trial and
continues to maintain that all requirements to closing under the contract were
met, and that Bargo was required to close the transaction.  The Company also
maintains that no evidence sufficient to support a jury  finding of  fraud or
the related punitive damages finding was presented at trial. The Company  has
filed a bond which suspends execution on the judgment while the Company appeals.
A formal notice of appeal has been filed and the Company intends to file its
appeal as soon as possible.  Although management believes, based  on
consultation with counsel, that it is more likely  than not that the judgment
will be overturned on appeal, the Company  has recorded an accrual of $8,825 for
the amount of the judgment, with a charge to continuing operations in the 1998
second quarter in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

     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 for certain other proposed adjustments.

     In connection with the sale of  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 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.  During the quarter ended June 30, 1998 the
Company increased this accrual by a charge of  $1,200 to discontinued
operations, based on revised estimates of the remaining remediation costs.  At
September 30, 1998, the balance accrued for these remediation costs is
approximately $1,537 which is recorded in other current liabilities on the
accompanying balance sheet.   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  methodology is well within accepted industry practice for
remediation efforts of a similar nature. No accrual has been made for any  costs
of any  alternative cleanup methodology which might be imposed as a result of
the litigation.


NOTE 7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

REFINANCING OF SENIOR SECURED DEBT

     On October 19, 1998 Reunion's wholly owned subsidiary, Oneida Rostone Corp.
("ORC"), closed a financing under a Loan and Security Agreement with The CIT
Group/Business Credit, Inc. ("CITBC").  The agreement provides a six-year senior
secured credit facility including revolving credit loans of up to $10,200 and a
term loan in the initial amount of $6,000 for ORC (the "New Facilities").  The
proceeds were used to refinance ORC's debt with Congress Financial Corporation
and to provide working capital for ORC. The New Facilities also provide a letter
of credit used to collateralize the bond for the Company's appeal of the
judgement in favor of Bargo.

     The initial borrowing under the New Facilities totaled $15,196, of which
$13,941 was used to repay the debt with Congress Financial Corporation and
$1,255 was paid for fees and other loan costs. CITBC received fees totaling
$1,100.

     Future borrowings under the revolving credit loans are subject to a
collateral availability  formula based on 85% of eligible accounts receivable
and 60% of eligible raw materials and finished goods inventories, as such terms
are defined in the Agreement.  The term loan is repayable in quarterly
installments of $250  beginning December 31, 1998.  Interest is payable monthly
at 0.25% above the Chase Manhattan Bank Rate for revolving loans and at 0.50%
above the Chase Manhattan Bank Rate for the term loan.

     The New Facilities are secured by liens on substantially all of ORC's
assets and by guarantees of (i) ORC's subsidiary, DPL Acquisition Corp., which
indirectly owns 80.47% of  Data Packaging Limited (the Company's plastic
products operation in Ireland),  (ii) Reunion, and (iii) Charles E. Bradley,
President and a director of Reunion.  Reunion's guarantee is secured by a pledge
of (i) the stock of ORC, (ii) 10% of the stock of Reunion's subsidiary, Juliana
Vineyards, and (iii) a cash deposit of $438. Mr. Bradley's guarantee is secured
by a pledge by an affiliated company, Stanwich Financial Services Corp, of
$6,000 of Partially Convertible Subordinated 9% Notes of Consumer Portfolio
Services, Inc.

STOCKHOLDER LITIGATION

     The stockholder litigation against the Company and its directors seeking
to prevent or rescind the merger with Chatwins Group, Inc. was dismissed without
prejudice on October 27, 1998 on motion by the plaintiffs.

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

GENERAL

     The Company's principal operations are in the plastic products industry.
The Company, through its wholly  owned subsidiary   ORC,  manufactures high
volume, precision plastic products and provides engineered plastic services.  As
part of its ongoing growth strategy, the Company regularly considers additional
acquisitions in the plastics industry  to increase its customer base and expand
its product offerings and service capabilities.  In addition, the Company may
consider acquisitions in other industries.  The Company also has  wine grape
agriculture operations in Napa County, California.


RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER  30, 1998
--------------------------------------

     ORC: Revenues and operating income of ORC were $22.9 million and $1.2
million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 1998. This
compares to revenues and operating income of $21.7 million and $1.3 million,
respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 1997.

     The 6% increase in revenues is attributable to increased sales from new
customer programs at ORC's  subsidiary in Ireland, partially offset by lower
sales at certain U.S. operations.  Tooling sales for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 were $1.2  million, versus tooling sales  of  $1.0 million
for the prior year period.  ORC  backlog totaled $20.7 million at September  30,
1998, compared to backlog  of  $21.9 million at  December 31, 1997 and backlog
of $22.0 million at September  30, 1997.

     Cost of sales totaled $19.4 million, or 84.7% of net sales, for the three
months ended September  30,  1998 compared to $18.2 million,  or 83.8% of net
sales for the three months ended September  30, 1997.  Gross profit  was  $3.5
million  for the three months ended September  30, 1998 compared to  $3.5
million in the prior year period.
 
     Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2.3  million for  the
three months ended September  30, 1998, compared to $2.2 million for the three
months ended September  30, 1997.  Operating income  was $1.2 million  for the
three months ended  September  30, 1998  compared to $1.3 million  in the
comparable 1997 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 September  30, 1998 compared to $0.4
million for the three months ended September  30, 1997.

     As a result of termination of the Merger Agreement with Chatwins Group,
Inc. because of the inability to raise sufficient financing under current market
conditions, the Company recorded a charge of $ 1.4 million in the third quarter
of 1998 to write off  accumulated legal, investment banking and other costs
related to the merger.

     OTHER INCOME AND (EXPENSE): Interest expense was $0.9  million for the
three months ended September  30, 1998 compared to $0.8 million for the prior
year period.  The Juliana Preserve results are seasonal with the majority of
revenues and expenses realized after harvest in the fourth quarter.  The Company
recognized break-even results during the three months ended September  30, 1998
from its equity interest in the Preserve.
 
     The Company recognized a loss from continuing operations of  $1.0 million
during the three months ended September  30, 1998 compared to income of  $0.1
million  for the comparable prior year period.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
------------------------------------

     ORC:  Revenues and operating income of ORC  were $74.0  million and  $3.7
million, respectively,  for the nine months ended September  30, 1998. This
compares to revenues and operating profit of  $69.9 million and $3.5 million,
respectively,  for the nine  months ended September  30, 1997.

     The  6% increase in revenues is attributable to increased sales from new
customer programs at ORC's  subsidiary in Ireland, partially offset by lower
sales at certain U.S. operations.  Tooling sales for the nine months ended
September  30, 1998 were $4.9  million, versus tooling sales  of  $3.5 million
for the prior year period.   During the second quarter of 1997 ORC experienced a
one month strike at its Rostone division.  Although the Company used replacement
and temporary workers during the strike, resultant effects of the strike were
such that sales and operating income were approximately $2.0 million and $1.0
million less than expected for the second quarter of 1997.  ORC  backlog totaled
$20.7 million at September 30, 1998, compared to backlog  of  $21.9 million at
December 31, 1997 and backlog of  $22.0  million at September 30, 1997.
 
     Cost of sales totaled $63.1 million, or 85.2%  of net sales, for the nine
months ended September  30, 1998 compared to $ 59.3 million, or 84.8% of net
sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.  As a result of the increase
in sales,  gross profit  increased to  $10.9 million  for the nine  months ended
September  30, 1998 from $10.6 million in the prior year period.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses were $7.2 million for  the
nine months ended  September 30, 1998, compared to $7.0  million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997.  Operating income  was $3.7  million  for the
nine months ended September  30, 1998  compared to $3.5 million  in the
comparable 1997 period.  Operating income for the 1997 period was adversely
affected by approximately $1.0 million by the effects of the one month strike as
discussed above.
 
     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
$1.6 million for the nine  months ended September  30, 1998 compared to $1.3
million for the nine  months ended September  30, 1997.

     As a result of termination of the Merger Agreement with Chatwins Group,
Inc. because of the inability to raise sufficient financing under current market
conditions, the Company recorded a charge of $ 1.4 million in the third quarter
of 1998 to write off  accumulated legal, investment banking and other costs
related to the merger.

     OTHER INCOME AND (EXPENSE): Interest expense was $2.4 million for the nine
months ended September  30, 1998 compared to $2.3 million for the prior year
period.  The Company recorded a charge of $8.8 million during the quarter   
ended June 30, 1998  to record entry of a judgment in the Company's litigation
with Bargo Energy Company.  The Juliana Preserve results are seasonal with the
majority of revenues and expenses realized after harvest in the fourth quarter.
The Company recognized break-even results during the nine months ended September
30, 1998 from its equity interest in the Preserve.

     The Company  recognized a loss from continuing operations  of  $10.0
million during the nine months ended September  30, 1998 compared to break even
results  for the comparable prior year period.


DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

     After the sale of its oil and gas operations in May 1996, 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 of these properties.  Based on further testing
requested by the Louisiana Office of Conservation in connection with
consideration of the Company's remediation plan for approval, the Company's
environmental consultants have estimated that the total costs to remediate the
site are approximately $2.0 million.  The Company has increased its existing
accrual for its portion of the estimated remaining remediation costs through a
$1.2 million charge to discontinued operations in the 1998 second quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
SUMMARY OF 1998 ACTIVITIES

     Cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.9 million at September  30, 1998.
During the nine months  ended September 30, 1998, cash decreased $0.2  million,
with $1.8 million provided  by  operations, $1.7 million used in investing
activities and $0.3 million used in  financing activities.

     INVESTING ACTIVITIES: Capital expenditures were $3.1 million in the nine
months ended September  30, 1998.  Cash used to acquire the joint venture
interest in the Juliana Preserve was $1.7 million net of cash acquired.   Cash
proceeds from the sale of agricultural parcels were $2.7 million.

     FINANCING ACTIVITIES:  Principal payments reduced long-term obligations by
$1.0 million in nine months ended September 30, 1998.  Net revolving loan
borrowings in the period totaled $0.6 million.  Proceeds from issuance of
redeemable preferred stock of DPL were $0.6 million and from exercise of stock
options  and warrants were $0.1 million.

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 agricultural  operations.

     CORPORATE: Corporate expenses, including salaries  and  benefits,
professional fees and other public company costs, are expected to  approximate
$1.5 million annually.  Legal costs to appeal the Bargo litigation and cash
required to collateralize the Bargo  appeal bond  will add to corporate
requirements.   In addition, a significant portion of the $1.6 million accrued
for environmental remediation of the Louisiana properties, described herein, is
expected to be expended during the next twelve months.   The Company's source of
funds for these expenses and for future acquisitions, other than from additional
borrowings, are from cash balances and  permitted payments by  ORC.  The
Corporate cash balance at September 30,  1998 was $0.5 million.
 
     As described in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, ORC closed
a new credit facility with  CITBC in October 1998.  This new credit facility
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
monthly payments of up to $0.1 million for management fees and dividends on
preferred stock  and tax sharing payments of up to 50% of the tax savings
realized by ORC because of Reunion's NOLs. 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.

     Without additional financing, management believes that the Company  will
not  have sufficient resources to meet its corporate expenses and legal and
environmental costs as they  become due over the next twelve months.  During
August and September 1998, the Company borrowed a total of $0.7 million from
Stanwich Financial Services Corp., ("SFSC"). Charles E. Bradley, the Company's
President, is a shareholder, director and president of  SFSC and Richard L.
Evans, the Company's Executive Vice President, is a Vice President of SFSC.
These borrowings bear interest at 15%, and were due to mature September 30,
1998.  SFSC has agreed to extend the maturity date to November 30, 1998 while
the Company seeks additional financing.  There can be no assurances that such
financing will be arranged, or that SFSC will extend the maturity or lend
additional funds.

     ORC:   On October 19, 1998, ORC closed a new loan facility with CITBC.  The
new facility  is a six-year senior secured credit facility including revolving
credit loans of up to $10.2 million and a term loan in the initial amount of
$6.0 million for  ORC.  The proceeds were used to refinance ORC's debt with
Congress Financial Corporation and to provide working capital for ORC.
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 October 19, 1998  ORC had $1.6
million in revolving credit availability.

                   REUNION INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

     AGRICULTURAL OPERATIONS:   In September 1998, the Company completed the
purchase of its joint venture partner's 28.3% interest in the Juliana Preserve
joint venture for $5.9 million.  The purchase was funded from the proceeds of
the sale of three parcels for $2.7 million, and by a $3.7 million 4-month note
to the joint venture partner.  The Company is working with its present lender to
refinance the existing $2.0 million debt and the $3.7 million note and to
provide working capital for the farming operations, but there can be no
assurances that such financing will be arranged.  Collateral for any new
borrowings is expected to be provided by the underlying agricultural assets and
vineyard acreage.  The Company also plans to undertake a limited wine grape
development effort, which management believes will enhance the value of  the
property.  Management believes  the combination of farming revenues plus
prospective borrowings will  be sufficient to fund the agricultural operations
over the next twelve months.


YEAR 2000 COMPUTER COMPLIANCE

      The Company, like most companies, utilizes electronic technology which
includes computer hardware and software systems that process information and
perform calculations that are date-and time-dependent.  The Company is aware
that the coming of the Year 2000 ("Y2K") poses pervasive and complex problems in
that virtually every computer operation (including manufacturing equipment and
other non-information systems equipment),  unless it is Y2K compliant, will be
affected in some way by the rollover of the two-digit year value from "99"  to
"00" and the inadvertent recognition by electronic technology of  "00" as the
year 1900 rather than Y2K.  The Company is also aware that it may not only be
negatively affected by the failure of its own systems to be Y2K compliant, but
may also be negatively affected by the Y2K non-compliance of its vendors,
customers, lenders and any other party with which the Company transacts
business.

     The Company has completed its initial assessment of the systems and
software in place at all locations.  Since the Company uses integrated
accounting and manufacturing software provided by third party vendors, it has
avoided internal programming costs associated with modifying code and data to
handle dates past  the year 2000.  The latest software releases provided by the
respective third party vendors have achieved Y2K certification from independent
testing organizations.  The Company is in the process of upgrading all of its
software to Y2K compliant releases.  Upgrading and testing is substantially
complete at  two of the Company's four principal manufacturing locations and at
the headquarters locations. The Company  expects to complete the remaining
upgrades by the second quarter of 1999.  Outside vendors such as suppliers,
banks and payroll services have been contacted and have provided assurances that
they either are compliant or will be by the end of 1998.  Testing of the
Company's software and systems is expected to be completed during the second
quarter of 1999.

     Because management expects to complete the upgrading of all of its software
early in 1999, the Company has not developed a Y2K contingency plan.  Management
regularly monitors the status of the Y2K compliance process, and will develop
contingency plans if it appears that the Company will not achieve full Y2K
compliance by June 1999.
 
     The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur internal staff
and other costs as a result of modifying existing systems to be Y2K compliant.
Such costs will continue to be expensed as incurred and funded through
internally generated cash while costs to acquire new equipment and software will
be capitalized and depreciated over their useful lives. The software upgrades
were principally planned to improve operating controls and implementation was
not significantly accelerated.  Management does not expect the incremental cost
to the Company of enterprise-wide Y2K compliance to be material to its
operations.

     Management  recognizes that the failure of the Company or any party with
which the Company conducts business to be Y2K compliant in a timely manner could
have a material adverse impact on the operations of the Company.  If the
Company's systems were to fail because they were not Y2K compliant, the Company
would incur significant costs and inefficiencies.  Manual systems for
manufacturing and financial control would have to  be implemented and staffed.
Significant customers might decide to cease doing business with the Company.

CONTINGENCIES AND UNCERTAINTIES

     On April 24, 1998, a jury in state district court in Harris County, Texas
returned jury verdict findings that Bargo had a right to terminate a November
1995 stock purchase agreement with the Company and that the Company
fraudulently induced Bargo into entering into the agreement.  The November 1995
stock purchase agreement concerned the sale of the Company's  subsidiary,   REC,
which operated the Company's  discontinued oil and gas business.  The jury
recommended that an award of $5.0 million in punitive damages be assessed
against the Company.  In July 1998, the court entered judgment affirming the
$5.0 million jury verdict and awarding approximately $3.0 million in attorneys'
fees and costs.  The Company  maintained at trial and continues to maintain that
all requirements to closing under the contract were met, and that Bargo was
required to close the transaction.  The Company  also maintains that no evidence
sufficient to support a jury finding of  fraud or the related punitive damages
finding was presented at trial.  The Company  has filed a bond which suspends
execution on the judgement while the Company appeals.  A formal notice of appeal
has been filed and the Company intends to file its appeal as soon as possible.
Although management believes, based  on consultation with counsel, that it is
more likely  than not that the judgment will be overturned on appeal, the
Company  has recorded an accrual for the amount of the bond with a charge to
continuing operations in the 1998 second quarter in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.

     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 plus interest.  Of this
amount, $0.6 million 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 approximately $0.1 million  for certain other proposed
adjustments.
 
     In connection with the sale of  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 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.  During the quarter ended June 30, 1998 the
Company increased this accrual by a charge of  $1.2 million to discontinued
operations, based on revised estimates of the remaining remediation costs.  At
September  30, 1998, the balance accrued for these remediation costs is
approximately $1.5 million which is recorded in other current liabilities on the
accompanying balance sheet.   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  methodology is well within accepted industry practice for
remediation efforts of a similar nature. No accrual has been made for any  costs
of any  alternative cleanup methodology which might be imposed as a result of
the litigation.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The Company  filed suit in the 125th Judicial District Court of Harris
County, Texas against Bargo and its general partners, Chisos Corporation, Austin
Resources Corporation, Shearwave, Inc., Brazos Oil & Gas Corporation, and
Schroder Oil Financing & Investment Company, on January 16, 1996 for damages and
relief arising out of Bargo's repudiation of its agreement to purchase all
outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Company's subsidiary, REC.  Bargo
had agreed to pay the Company $15.1 million for REC's capital stock, subject to
certain potential adjustments in the purchase price as set forth in the stock
purchase agreement between the Company and Bargo and had deposited $0.5 million
with a contractual escrow agent in accordance with the terms of the stock
purchase agreement. The Company alleged in its complaint that Bargo tortiously
interfered with a prospective stock purchase agreement with another purchaser of
REC's stock, and then wrongfully repudiated its agreement to purchase REC's
stock. The Company also asserted claims against Bargo for breach of contract and
breach of duty of good faith and fair dealing, and sought  damages under these
theories of liability.  Bargo also filed suit against the Company claiming that
the Company,  its investment bankers, and certain individuals fraudulently
misrepresented information and fraudulently induced Bargo into signing the Stock
Purchase Agreement.  Bargo also asserted claims for breach of contract and
warranty, return of its escrow, and for  unspecified damages under these
theories of liability. The cases were consolidated in the 334th Judicial
District Court of Harris County, Texas, and the consolidated case was realigned
with the Company as plaintiff.
 
     On April 24, 1998, after a three week trial, a jury returned  jury  verdict
findings that Bargo  had a right to terminate the stock purchase agreement with
the Company and that the Company  fraudulently induced Bargo into entering into
the agreement.  In July 1998, the court entered judgment affirming the $5.0
million jury verdict and awarding approximately $3.0 million  in attorneys' fees
and costs.  The Company  maintained at trial and continues to maintain that all
requirements to closing under the contract were met, and that Bargo was required
to close the transaction.  The Company  also maintains that no evidence
sufficient to support a jury  finding of  fraud or the related punitive damages
finding was presented at trial. The Company  has filed a bond which suspends
execution on the judgement while the Company appeals.  A formal notice of appeal
has been filed and the Company intends to file its appeal as soon as possible.
Management believes, based on consultation with counsel, that it is more likely
than not that any judgment based on a finding of fraud, the award of attorneys'
fees based on a finding of fraud and punitive damages would be overturned on
appeal.  If the judgment is not overturned on appeal, the Company would be
obligated to seek alternative funding sources, including a sale of assets.

     In July 1998, the  Company and its directors were named as defendants in
two  class action lawsuits filed in the Delaware Court  of  Chancery  by
certain of the Company's  stockholders, purportedly on behalf of all public
stockholders of the Company,  seeking to prevent or rescind the merger with
Chatwins Group, Inc.  and/or obtain damages from the Company , Chatwins and the
directors of the Company  on account of the merger.  The lawsuits alleged
breaches of fiduciary duty  by the defendants in setting the exchange ratio of
the merger.  The Company  maintained  that the exchange ratio fixed for the
merger fairly reflected the relative values of Chatwins and Reunion when the
merger terms were agreed.  In October 1998, the Company announced that the
Merger Agreement had been terminated by mutual agreement because of the
inability to arrange sufficient financing to refinance all of the debt of the
combined companies under current market conditions.   On October 27, 1998, the
lawsuits were dismissed without prejudice on motion by the plaintiffs.
