  A study of statistics of transmission and reflection from a random medium
with stochastic amplification as opposed to coherent amplification is
presented. It is found that the transmission coefficient $t$, for sample length
$L$ less than the critical length $L_c$ grows exponentially with $L$. In the
limit $L \to \infty$ transmission decays exponentially as $\avg{lnt} = -L/\xi$
where $\xi$ is the localization length. In this limit reflection coefficient
$r$ saturates to a fixed value which shows a monotonic increase as a function
of strength of amplification $\alpha$. The stationary distribution of
super-reflection coefficient agrees well with the analytical results obtained
within the random phase approximation (RPA). Our model also exhibits the well
known duality between absorption and amplification. We emphasize the major
differences between coherent amplification and stochastic amplification
where-ever appropriate.
