Item 4.   Description of Securities

     Not applicable

Item 5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

     Not applicable

Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers

     Limitation of Liability

     As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, Article Ninth of the Certificate of Incorporation
of the registrant provides that a director of the registrant shall
not be personally liable to the registrant or its stockholders for
monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except for liability: (i) for breach of the director's duty of
loyalty to the registrant or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct
or a knowing violation of law; (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law; or (iv) for any transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit.  Such
terms are incorporated in indemnification agreements between the
registrant and each director and officer of the registrant.

     Indemnification and Insurance

     Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware authorizes indemnification of officers and directors under
certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations.  Article
XIII of the registrant's By-Laws provides that the registrant (a)
shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the registrant or is or was
serving at the request of the registrant as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including
attorneys' fees), and with respect to actions other than by or in
the right of the registrant judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement (except judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
in the case of an action or suit by or in the right of the
corporation) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person meets
the standard of conduct set forth therein and (b) may pay expenses
incurred by any officer or director in defending a civil or
criminal action, suit or proceeding in advance of the final
disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay
such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not
entitled to be indemnified by the registrant as authorized in
Article XIII.  Under Article XIII, expenses incurred by other
employees and agents may be paid upon such terms and conditions, if
any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.  Indemnification
agreements, as approved by shareholders of the registrant,
indemnify directors to the full extent authorized or permitted by
law.  Indemnification Agreements with directors and officers of the
registrant further provide that the registrant may, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf
of any officer, director, employee, trustee or agent of the
registrant or any person who is or was serving at the request of
the registrant as an officer, director, employee, partner (general
or limited), trustee or agent of another enterprise against any
liability asserted against him or incurred by him in any such
capacity or status.  

     The registrant carries a directors' and officers' liability
and company reimbursement liability insurance policy insuring the
directors and officers of the registrant and its subsidiaries
against losses, as defined in the policy, for which the directors
and officers are not indemnified by the registrant up to
$10,000,000.  The policy also insures the registrant up to the same
limit against amounts the registrant may be required or permitted
to pay as indemnity to the directors and officers in excess of a
deductible amount of $250,000 for each loss.  The policy covers
losses arising from claims which may be made against directors and
officers between June 19, 1991 and November 20, 1995, by reason of
any wrongful act, as defined in the policy, in their capacities as
directors and officers.

Item 9.   Undertakings

(a)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
          being made of the securities registered hereby, a post-
          effective amendment to this registration statement:

          (i)  To include any prospectus required by Section
               10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

          (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
               arising after the effective date of the
               registration statement (or the most recent post-
               effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
               in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in
               the information set forth in this registration
               statement;

         (iii) To include any material information with respect to
               the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
               in this registration statement or any material
               change to such information in this registration
               statement;

          provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in
          paragraphs 1(i) and 1(ii) above do not apply if the
          registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8 and the
          information required to be included in a post-effective
          amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
          reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
          Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that
          are incorporated by reference in this registration
          statement.

     (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
          the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
          amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
          statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
          the offering of such securities at that time shall be
          deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
          amendment any of the securities being registered which
          remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b)  The undersigned hereby further undertakes that, for purposes
     of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
     each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to
     Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
     of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration
     statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
     relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering
     of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
     initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
     Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers
     and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
     foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
     advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
     Commission such information is against public policy as
     expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the
     event that a claim for indemnification against such
     liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of
     expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
     controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense
     of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
     director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
     securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
     the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
     controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
     jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it
     is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be
     governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

     The Registrant.  Pursuant to the requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has

Gentlemen:

     We refer to the Registration Statement of Anuhco, Inc. ("the
Company") on Form S-8, dated August 29, 1995, to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for the purpose of registering
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"),
50,000 shares of common stock of the Company to be offered under a 
Stock Option Agreement by and between Anuhco, Inc. and C. Ted
McCarter, effective May 31, 1995 ("Agreement").

     We have examined the certificate of incorporation of the
Company, its by-laws, the minutes of the meetings of its board of
directors and stockholders, and other Company records pertaining to
this opinion which we have deemed relevant.  Based upon this
examination, it is our opinion that (i) all necessary corporate
action has been taken to authorize the issuance and sale of 50,000
shares of common stock under the Agreement for the consideration
set forth in said Agreement, and (ii) upon the issuance and sale of
said 50,000 shares for such consideration pursuant to an effective
Registration Statement under the 1933 Act and in compliance with
applicable state securities laws, said shares will be legally
issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

     We hereby consent to the reference to us under the heading
"Legal Opinion" in the prospectus which constitutes a part of the
Registration Statement and also consent to the inclusion of the
opinion in the Registration Statement as Exhibit 5 thereto.

               Sincerely,
               HILLIX, BREWER, HOFFHAUS, WHITTAKER & WRIGHT
