                            RTI INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

               (Information as of June 30, 1997 and 1996, and for
                the three and six months then ended is unaudited)


1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         In the opinion of management of RTI Inc. (with its
Subsidiaries, the "Company"), the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary
to present fairly, in all material respects, the Company's financial
position as of June 30, 1997, its results of operations and its cash
flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.
Results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June
30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1997.

         Information included in the consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 1996 has been derived from the Company's audited
consolidated financial statements in its Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1996, to which reference is
made.  Certain information included in the audited consolidated
financial statements and related notes prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles may have been condensed or
omitted.


2.       NEW OPERATIONS

         With its acquisition of the business of Quality Air Inc. on
February 24, 1997, the Company is now engaged in the manufacture,
marketing and selling of residential coolers and of central air
conditioning equipment.  The acquisition cost has been allocated
first to identifiable assets, with the remainder of the purchase
price assigned to goodwill, representing mainly the cost price of
patents and patent pending, which will be amortized over 15 years.


3.       ROCKAWAY INDUSTRIAL PARK

         The Company owns a 248 acre parcel of land ("Parcel I") in
Rockaway, New Jersey (47 acres of which have been leased to
SteriGenics International), that is contiguous to a 15 acre
operating parcel that is the site of an irradiation processing
facility leased to SteriGenics International("Parcel II" and, with
Parcel I, the "Rockaway Industrial Park").  Since 1985, the Company
has been seeking a buyer for Parcel I.  However, the Company's
ability to sell Parcel I is impaired until the completion of an

                                       -7-

                            RTI INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

               (Information as of June 30, 1997 and 1996, and for
                the three and six months then ended is unaudited)

environmental cleanup and remediation program (Note 4), and its
ability to recover its net investment of $50,000 in 201 acres of
Parcel I is impaired by unpaid outstanding property taxes for the
years 1993, 1994, 1995, and 1996 totaling $199,373, which have been
accrued in the financial statements under "Other liabilities".


4.       ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTIGATION AND REMEDIATION

         As a result of engineering tests that commenced in 1981, the
New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (the "DEP") issued
a directive in 1986 ordering a remedial investigation and
feasibility study (the "Study") designed to determine the nature and
extent of contamination on the Rockaway Industrial Park property.
The Company agreed to pay the costs of the Study and entered into an
Administrative Consent Order with the DEP.  In 1989, the DEP issued
a Second Directive to pay for an additional environmental study and
DEP oversight costs.  In 1993, the Company entered into an
Administrative Consent Order ("ACO") with the DEP.  Cost
reimbursement to the DEP under the ACO includes applicable DEP
expenditures beginning July 1, 1982 and future DEP oversight costs.
In August 1996, the Company made a payment of $575,000 to the DEP as
full settlement of all outstanding claims asserted under the ACO.
The Company subsequently paid additional claims by the DEP for
oversight costs through October 31, 1996.

         In April 1996, the DEP responded to the Company's petition to
change the Remedial Action Work Plan under the Record of Decision,
and advised the Company that a pilot test of the CleanOx remediation
program, undertaken by the Company on its Rockaway property, was not
considered conclusive.  In September 1996, the Company completed a
second CleanOx test, which reduced the contamination, but did not
result in remediation of the groundwater.  On March 7, 1997, the DEP
reaffirmed its requirement that the Company comply with the ROD, but
allowed the Company to take a well water sampling in May 1997 to
determine the longer term impact of the CleanOx remediation effort.
The results of this latest sampling are being studied by the DEP and
by the Company's consultants.

         The Company has also been named a respondent in environmental
proceedings relating to a New Jersey disposal site ("Nascolite") to
which the Company shipped a small amount of materials in 1978. In
May 1997, the Company paid $32,247 in settlement of EPA's Nascolite
claims.

                the three and six months then ended is unaudited)


         As a result of ongoing remediation and DEP involvement in these
matters, there can be no assurances that the cleanup, remediation,
and DEP oversight accruals will represent the Company's ultimate
liability.

         Environmental accruals at June 30,1997 were as follows:
 
                           Long-term ("Other liabilities"):
                             Groundwater remediation             $747,315
 
 
5.       SHORT TERM BORROWINGS

         The Company borrowed $563,000 from its chairman and his
affiliate Frellum Corporation to fund the acquisition and equipment
of the Company's AC2 manufacturing facility in May and June 1997.
These loans are payable on demand and carry an interest rate of one
percent over the prime rate as published from time to time in the
Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition.
 

6.       DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

         On August 8, 1996, the Company sold to SteriGenics
International the assets and liabilities related to its irradiation
business, except for its Rockaway facility, which was leased for six
years to SteriGenics International. Results from irradiation
operations are shown as Income or Loss from discontinued operations.

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

COMPARISON OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30,
1997 AND 1996.

         Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1997, were
$1,097,635, mostly from evaporative coolers. In the second quarter
of 1996, all sales were from discontinued operations, which were
eliminated from the presentation.  In the 1997 quarter, the company
also had rental income of $21,117

         Cost of sales of $850,208 in the 1997 period included certain
costs to prepare for the shift of manufacturing capacity from
coolers to air conditioners. In second quarter of 1996, there was no
cost of sales after elimination of the costs of the discontinued
business. Product development costs totaled $34,379 in the quarter
ended June 30, 1997; there were no such costs in 1996.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $817,974
for the second quarter of 1997.  In the second quarter of last year,
the Company had general and administrative expenses of $29,082 not
related to the discontinued business.

         Expenses of Rockaway Industrial Park were $10,957 in the second
quarter of 1997, as compared with $26,353 in the same period last
year, when the Company incurred consulting expenses.

         Because of the costs described above, the Company incurred a
loss from operations of $594,766 in the second quarter of 1997. This
compares with an operating loss of $55,435 for the same period last
year.

         Other income for the three months ended June 30, 1997 consisted
of an insurance refund of $7,327 less net interest expense of
$5,974. In 1996, the company had income from discontinued operations
of $85,030, interest expense of $59,051 and rental and miscellaneous
income of $5,586.

         The net loss of $593,413 or 40 cents per share for the second
quarter this year compares with a loss of $23,870 or 2 cents per
share in 1996.

COMPARISON OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30,
1997 AND 1996.

         Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were
$1,315,172, and rental income was $42,045.  In the same period last
year, all of the company's sales were from discontinued operations.

         Cost of sales for the first half of 1997 were $1,175,091. This
includes certain costs related to the manufacturing of the company's
new AC2 air conditioner, which received the necessary UL compliance
approval and energy efficiency rating after the end of the period
under review. In the first half of 1996, cost of goods sold were
eliminated as they were related entirely to discontinued operations.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $1,050,333
for the first six months of 1997.  In the same period in 1996, these
expenses were limited to corporate administration expenses, as all
other expenses related to discontinued operations.

         Product development expenses were $47,135 in the first six
months of 1997.  There were no such expenses in 1996.

         Expenses of the Rockaway site totaled $19,051 for the first
half of 1997, as compared with $47,610 in the same period of 1996,
when the company incurred consulting expenses.

         The company incurred a loss from operations of $934,393 in the
first half of 1997, as compared with an operating loss of $106,769
for the same period in 1996.

         Other income for the first half of 1997 consisted of net
interest income of $28,014 and income from a litigation settlement
and an insurance refund totaling $46,071.  In the same period of
1996, the company had net income from discontinued operations of
$49,878, and received an insurance settlement of $580,000, mostly
offset by an environmental remediation reserve and interest expense.

                                      -12-
<PAGE>


         As a result of the foregoing, the company had a net loss of
$860,735 or 63 cents per share for the first half of 1997, compared
with a net loss of $67,195 or 6 cents per share in the same period
of 1996.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         During the first half of 1997, the Company spent $1.5 million
for working capital in its new operations, and invested $1.4 million
in the acquisition and equipment of its El Paso, Texas AC2 air
conditioner manufacturing facility and, to a small extent in its
Juarez, Mexico fiberglass manufacturing facility.

         Net cash provided by financing activities of $774,300 resulted
from the sale in private placements of 145,000 common shares of the
Company at $2.90 net per share, and 57,000 Series B Preferred Shares
at $5.80 per share.

         At June 30, 1997, the Company had $110,594 in cash and
equivalent, compared to $1,270,579 at December 31, 1996.

         In the second quarter, the Company borrowed $563,000 as a
demand loan from its chairman and an affiliated company at an
interest rate of one percent over the prime rate.
 
         On July 7, 1997, the Company sold an additional 43,000 of
Series B Preferred shares at $5.80 per share.  The Company also
received a verbal commitment for a loan secured by fixed assets, but
there can be no assurance that this will translate into an actual
funding of such loan.  Furthermore, the company may need working
capital financing prior to next year's spring and summer selling
season.  If the Company cannot obtain any such financing, it may
have to limit its operations, inventories and accounts receivable,
and hence its sales volume.
