                      RULES 12b-25(b) and (c)

     If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or
expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the
following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate.)

  X   (a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form
could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;

  X   (b) The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on
Form 10-K, Form 20-F, 11-K, or Form N-SAR, or portion thereof will be filed on
or before the 15th calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the

prescribed due date, and

       (c) The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule

                             PART III
                             NARRATIVE

     State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, and Form 
10-KSB, 11-K, 20-F, 10-Q and Form 10-QSB, N-SAR or the transition report or
portion thereof could not be filed within the prescribed time period.  (Attach
extra sheets if needed.)

     The subject Form 11-K relates to the Annual Report for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1995 for the Lynch Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan
("Plan").  During the course of the year, the Plan changed recordkeepers from
one outside firm to another and simultaneously introduced several new
investment options.  As a result, the Plan's records for the year are split
between two different firms with two different recordkeeping systems.  The
compilation of the December 31, 1995 Plan financial statements, which form the
basis of the Annual Report on Form 11-K, became a largely manual activity
which was performed by the Registrant rather than by either of the
recordkeeping firms and required particular attention to the reconciliation of
accounts through the transition from one system to the other.  Although every
effort was expended to meet the Form 11-K filing deadline, the circumstances
were such that the actual amount of time and effort that would be required to
complete the task made it impracticable.

                              PART IV
                         OTHER INFORMATION

     (1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this
notification.

        (Name)                          (Area Code) (Telephone Number)

     (2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company
Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the
registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed?  If the answer is
no, identify report(s).

     (3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of
operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be
reflected by the earnings statement to be included in the subject report or
portion thereof?

                                          _____ Yes  __X__ No

     If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively
and quantitatively, and if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable
estimate of the results cannot be made.
