NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         MPW Industrial Services Group, Inc. (the "Company") is an industrial
services firm that provides industrial cleaning and facility support services,
industrial process water purification, industrial air filtration services and
other specialized services. Such services are typically provided at customer
facilities. The Company also operates a process facility for industrial
container cleaning. The Company's principal customers are large industrial
facilities in the automotive, electric power, chemical, pulp and paper, steel,
transportation, aerospace and other heavy manufacturing industries. The Company
provides services primarily in the Midwestern and Southeastern United States.

         The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company including, but not limited to, (i) MPW Industrial Services, Inc.
("MPW"), (ii) Weston Engineering, Inc. ("Weston"), (iii) ESI International, Inc.
and ESI North, Limited (collectively "ESI International") from the effective
date of acquisition, October 1, 1997 and (iv) Aquatech Environmental, Inc.
("Aquatech"), which was 70% owned by the Company until December 5, 1997, at
which time the Company purchased the remaining minority shareholders' interests
of Aquatech, and it became wholly-owned. The minority shareholders' interests in
the equity and net income of Aquatech are presented separately in the
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the period through
December 4, 1997. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated in consolidation.

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements presented
herein have been prepared by the Company and reflect all adjustments of a normal
recurring nature that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
presentation of financial results for the three and nine months ended March 31,
1997 and 1998, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial reporting and pursuant to Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Certain footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed
or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These interim consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements contained in the Company's Registration Statement on Form
S-1 (File No. 333-36887) (the "Registration Statement"). The results of
operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the full year (see Note 10 for further
information regarding fluctuations in quarterly results).

         The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

NOTE 2.  ACQUISITION OF ESI INTERNATIONAL

         Effective October 1, 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
stock of ESI International, Inc., a Tennessee corporation and purchased all of
the members' interests in ESI North, Limited, an Ohio limited liability company,
for an aggregate purchase price of $4,903,000 and $1,043,000 of assumed
liabilities. The purchase price was paid as follows: (i) $2,824,000 in cash;
(ii) unsecured promissory notes in the aggregate of $1,119,000, bearing interest
at 6.5%, due in twenty equal, consecutive, quarterly installments, with the
first such installment due on January 31, 1998; and (iii) 110,029 shares of
common stock of the Company. The purchase price may be increased by a maximum of
$600,000 contingent upon the achievement of certain revenue and operating
objectives over the three-year period following the date of acquisition. The
acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and,
accordingly, the acquired assets and assumed liabilities have been recorded at
their estimated fair values as of October 1, 1997. The accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of ESI
International from the effective acquisition date.

NOTE 3.  INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING OF COMMON STOCK

         On December 1, 1997, the Registration Statement related to the
Company's initial public offering of its common stock (the "Offering") was
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission and its stock began
trading on the NASDAQ national market system on December 2, 1997. Pursuant to
the terms of the Offering, on December 5, 1997, the Company issued 3,750,000
shares of its common stock that were sold at $9.00 per share.

         On January 2, 1998, the over-allotment option in connection with the
Offering was partially exercised and on January 6, 1998, the Company issued
237,500 shares of its common stock at $9.00 per share. The total net proceeds to
the Company in connection with the Offering, including the partial exercise of
the over-allotment option, were $33,375,000 before deducting expenses of
$1,282,000.

NOTE 4.  OFFERING RELATED TRANSACTIONS

         Restructuring of the Company and Termination of MPW's S Corporation
Status

         In connection with the Offering, effective October 30, 1997, the
Company was restructured resulting in the creation of a new holding company, MPW
Industrial Services Group, Inc., an Ohio corporation. In connection with this
reorganization, MPW's S Corporation status was terminated. Prior to this
termination, MPW made a distribution to the S Corporation shareholders in the
amount of $21,200,000 for undistributed earnings associated with MPW's S
Corporation status. These distributions were made through the Company's issuance
of promissory notes to such shareholders (the "AAA Notes"), of which $13,400,000
was subsequently paid off with the Offering proceeds. The remaining $7,800,000
was paid as follows: (i) $4,200,000 in cash on April 15, 1998 and (ii)
$3,600,000 redeemed in connection with the sale of a corporate aircraft to a
holder of the AAA Notes.

         In connection with the Offering, the Company recorded a non-cash,
non-recurring charge of $1,869,000, net of tax, associated with certain of its
stock option plans. This charge resulted in a concurrent increase in paid-in
capital. The Company also eliminated the related deferred stock option
compensation liabilities previously recorded because, effective with the
Offering, the Company's repurchase obligations for stock options exercised under
these stock option plans were eliminated.

         Related Party Lease Agreements

         In connection with the Offering, the Company restructured certain lease
agreements with its principal shareholder for facilities that the Company uses
in its business operations. Additionally, the Company subsequently redeemed
$3,600,000 of the AAA Notes as consideration for the sale of a corporate
aircraft at its fair market value to an entity controlled by the Company's
principal shareholder. In connection with this transaction, the Company entered
into a lease agreement with this entity for the lease of this corporate
aircraft.

         Purchase of Remaining Minority Shareholders' Interests

         In connection with the Offering, on December 5, 1997, the Company
purchased the remaining minority shareholders' interests in the equity and net
income of Aquatech for an aggregate purchase price of $678,000, at which time
Aquatech became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The purchase price was
paid as follows: (i) $339,000 in cash and (ii) 37,667 shares of common stock of
the Company.

NOTE 5.  LONG-TERM DEBT

         Prior to the Offering, the Company had various credit arrangements with
its principal banks, including term notes and a revolving credit line with
outstanding balances totaling $8,948,000 and $6,935,000, respectively, of which
$3,000,000 was associated with the Company's acquisition of ESI International.
On December 5, 1997, the entire outstanding balance under these arrangements,
$15,883,000, was repaid.

         Effective December 10, 1997, the Company entered into a new credit
agreement with its principal banks (the "Credit Facility") to replace the
existing agreement. The Credit Facility, as amended, provides the Company with


                                                                          Page 7
<PAGE>   8

$50,000,000 of unsecured credit availability for a three-year period. Under the
Credit Facility, $15,000,000 is available for working capital needs, of which
$5,000,000 may be used for letters of credit, and the remaining $35,000,000 is
available for the Company's growth initiatives, including acquisitions.
Borrowing under the Credit Facility currently bears interest at the prime rate
less 0.75% or, at the Company's option, the Eurodollar market rate plus 0.75%.
The interest rate is subject to change based on interest rate formulas tied to
financial performance as measured by debt service coverage and by the ratio of
funded debt to equity. The Credit Facility also provides covenants that impose
minimum levels for interest coverage and tangible net worth and ceiling levels
for funded debt to equity. As of March 31, 1998, no balances had been drawn on
the Credit Facility. The Company pays a commitment fee for unused portions of
the Credit Facility of 0.25%.

NOTE 6.  INCOME TAXES

         Prior to October 31, 1997, MPW's income was taxed under the provisions
of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which provides
that in lieu of corporate income taxes, the shareholders of the S Corporation
are taxed on their proportionate share of MPW's taxable income. Therefore, no
provision or liability for federal income tax has been included in historical
financial statements related to MPW prior to October 31, 1997. The accompanying
financial statements do, however, include provisions for income taxes for
federal, state, provincial and local tax purposes for the other subsidiaries of
the Company that are subject to corporate income taxes.

         Effective October 30, 1997, MPW terminated its S Corporation status and
became subject to corporate income taxes. The Company recorded a current
deferred tax asset and a noncurrent deferred tax liability of $2,111,000 and
$1,409,000, respectively, to recognize the cumulative deferred income taxes
attributable to MPW's change in tax status (from an S Corporation to a C
Corporation). Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant
components of the Company's deferred tax asset and liability as of March 31,
1998 are related to the use of accelerated depreciation rates on property and
equipment for tax purposes and the carryforward of tax adjustments related to
the termination of MPW's S Corporation status.

         The pro forma income taxes presented in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998 represent
the estimated income taxes that would have been reported had MPW been subject to
federal and state income taxes for each of the periods presented.

NOTE 7.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

         In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS No. 128"), Earnings per Share,
effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 128 replaced the
previously reported primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and
diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings
per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible
securities. Diluted earnings per share is similar to the previously reported
fully diluted earnings per share. All earnings per share amounts for all periods
have been presented to conform to the SFAS No. 128 requirements.


                                                                          Page 8

NOTE 8.  1997 STOCK OPTION PLAN

         On November 15, 1997, the Company adopted a new stock option plan (the
"1997 Plan") and subsequently granted 362,500 stock options to certain
employees. The purpose of the 1997 Plan is to attract and retain directors,
officers and key employees of the Company, to enhance their interest in the
Company's continued success and to allow associates an opportunity to have an
ownership in the Company through stock options, stock awards and a stock
purchase plan. The maximum number of common shares available to be issued under
the 1997 Plan is 700,000 shares of common stock.

NOTE 9.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         On April 7, 1998, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets
of Vinewood Corp., Vinewood of Ohio, Inc., D.R.C. Enterprises, Inc. and R.C.R.
Leasing Company (collectively the "Vinewood Companies") for a combination of
cash, deferred payments and common stock of the Company for aggregate 
consideration of $8,600,000.

         Also, on April 21, 1998, the Company acquired substantially all of the
assets of Straightline Optical Service, Inc. for a combination of cash and
common stock of the Company for aggregate consideration of $1,110,000 and
approximately $120,000 of assumed liabilities.

NOTE 10. FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY RESULTS

         The Company's revenues and results of operations tend to vary
seasonally as a result of a number of factors over which the Company has no
control, including its customers' budgetary constraints, the timing and duration
of its customers' planned maintenance activities and shutdowns, changes in its
competitors' pricing policies and general economic conditions. Also, certain
operating and fixed costs remain relatively constant throughout the fiscal year,
which when offset by differing levels of revenues may result in fluctuations in
quarterly operating results. Because of these factors, the Company typically
generates the least amount of revenues in the third quarter, higher revenues in
the second quarter and the greatest amount of revenues in the first and fourth
quarters. Although the Company believes that the historical trend in quarterly
revenue for the first and fourth quarters are generally higher than the second
and third quarters, there can be no assurance that this will occur in future
periods. Accordingly, quarterly or other interim results should not be
considered indicative of results to be expected for any quarter or for the full
year.


                                                                          Page 9

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

         Except for historical information, certain statements in this
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and
Results of Operations are forward looking. These forward looking statements are
based on current expectations that are subject to a number of uncertainties and
risks, and actual results may differ materially. The uncertainties and risks
include, but are not limited to, competitive and other market factors, customer
purchasing behavior, general economic conditions and other facets of the
Company's business operations as well as other risk factors identified in the
Company's Registration Statement. The Company undertakes no obligation and does
not intend to update, revise or otherwise publicly release the result of any
revisions to these forward looking statements that may be made to reflect future
events or circumstances.

         The following information should be read in conjunction with the
Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in Part I, Item
1. The following information should also be read in conjunction with the Audited
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes, and Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the year ended
June 30, 1997 as contained in the Company's Registration Statement.

OVERVIEW

         On December 1, 1997, the Registration Statement related to the Offering
was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission and its stock
began trading on the NASDAQ national market system on December 2, 1997. Pursuant
to the terms of the Offering, on December 5, 1997, the Company issued 3,750,000
shares of its common stock that were sold at $9.00 per share. On January 2,
1998, the over-allotment option in connection with the Offering was partially
exercised and on January 6, 1998, the Company issued an additional 237,500
shares of its common stock at $9.00 per share. The net proceeds to the Company
in connection with the Offering, including the partial exercise of the
over-allotment option, were $33.4 million before deducting expenses of $1.3
million.

         During the three month period ended December 31, 1997, numerous events
occurred and certain transactions were recorded that were directly related to
the Offering and affect the comparability of the results of operations for the
Company for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1998 to the same
periods in the prior year. These events and transactions were:

         1.   Effective October 30, 1997, MPW terminated its S Corporation
              election under subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
              as amended, for federal income tax purposes and under comparable
              state tax laws. In connection therewith, MPW declared a dividend
              of $21.2 million evidenced by the AAA Notes and the Company
              recorded a net non-recurring tax benefit of $702,000 and a related
              current deferred tax asset and noncurrent deferred tax liability
              of $2.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

         2.   In connection with the Offering, the Company recorded a non-cash,
              non-recurring charge associated with certain of its stock option
              plans. This charge resulted in a concurrent increase in paid-in
              capital. The Company also eliminated the related deferred stock
              option compensation liabilities previously recorded because,
              effective with the Offering, the Company's repurchase obligations
              for stock options exercised under these stock option plans were
              eliminated.

         3.   Effective with the Offering, the Company adjusted the historical
              lease costs for certain facilities leased by the Company from
              related parties and recharacterized such leases from capital to
              operating as a result of restructured lease agreements.

         4.   On December 5, 1997, the Company purchased certain minority stock
              ownership interests with cash in the amount of $339,000 and the
              issuance of 37,667 shares of the Company's common stock.

         5.   On December 5, 1997 the Company used a portion of the net proceeds
              from the offering to repay $15.9 million of outstanding
              liabilities to its principal banks, including $3.0 million of
              long-term liabilities associated with the Company's acquisition of
              ESI International during the three months ended December 31, 1997.

         6.   During December 1997, the Company used a portion of the net
              proceeds from the Offering to repay $13.4 million of the
              outstanding balance of the AAA Notes.


                                                                         Page 10

         For purposes of this Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations, the following
adjusted pro forma information is being presented as supplemental information to
the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part I, Item 1. Since none of
the events discussed above affected the three month period ended March 31, 1998,
no adjusted pro forma information is presented for that period. Management's
analysis under the heading of Results of Operations below utilizes this
supplemental information.

 THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997

         Basis of Presentation. Management's analysis of the three months ended
March 31, 1998 ("fiscal 1998 quarter") compared to the three months ended March
31, 1997 ("fiscal 1997 quarter") utilizes the supplemental adjusted pro forma
information as provided in the tables on pages 11 and 12 herein.

         Revenues. Revenues increased by $5.1 million, or 32.1%, to $21.1
million for the fiscal 1998 quarter from $16.0 million for the fiscal 1997
quarter. The internal rate of growth in revenues in the fiscal 1998 quarter was
21.6% as a result of growth in each of the Company's principal services lines.
Internal growth in revenues in the Company's industrial air filtration service
line for the fiscal 1998 quarter was 54.8%. Revenues also increased in the
fiscal 1998 quarter as a result of the acquisition of ESI International, which
contributed $1.7 million of revenues.

         Cost of Services. Cost of services increased by $4.0 million, or 36.4%,
to $14.9 million for the fiscal 1998 quarter from $10.9 million for the fiscal
1997 quarter. Cost of services as a percentage of revenues increased to 70.4%
for the fiscal 1998 quarter from 68.2% for the fiscal 1997 quarter. The increase
in cost of services as a percentage of revenues is the result of a greater
percentage of revenues being derived in the fiscal 1998 quarter from the
Company's industrial air filtration customers and from certain of the Company's
industrial cleaning and facility support customers from which the Company
experienced lower margins as compared to the fiscal 1997 quarter. The increase
in cost of services as a percentage of revenues in the fiscal 1998 quarter was
also the result of increased costs incurred to support future revenue growth.

         Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased by $436,000, or 12.2%, to $4.0 million for the
fiscal 1998 quarter from $3.6 million for the fiscal 1997 quarter. This increase
is primarily due to the acquisition of ESI International, infrastructure
investments to support growth in Weston since its acquisition in April 1996 and
other investments in the Company's infrastructure to support overall growth.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of
revenues to 19.0% for the fiscal 1998 quarter from 22.4% for the fiscal 1997
quarter.

         Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased
by $67,000, or 8.8%, to $831,000 for the fiscal 1998 quarter from $764,000 for
the fiscal 1997 quarter. This increase is a result of additional capital
expenditures and additional goodwill arising out of the purchase of ESI
International during the current fiscal year. Depreciation and amortization
decreased as a percentage of revenues to 3.9% for the fiscal 1998 quarter from
4.8% for the fiscal 1997 quarter. This decrease as a percentage of revenues is
primarily due to revenue growth in the industrial container cleaning and


                                                                         Page 12

<PAGE>   13

industrial water service lines for which capital investments were made in prior
years and to growth in revenues in industrial air filtration that requires less
capital investment than the Company's other service lines.

         Income from Operations. Income from operations increased $665,000, or
89.6%, to $1.4 million for the fiscal 1998 quarter from $742,000 for the fiscal
1997 quarter. Income from operations also increased as a percentage of revenues
to 6.7% for the fiscal 1998 quarter from 4.6% for the fiscal 1997 quarter. The
increase in income from operations and the improved operating margin are due to
the factors discussed above.

         Interest Expense, net. Immediately following the Offering, the Company
had no borrowing under the Credit Facility with its banks. For this reason,
interest expense has been eliminated in the adjusted pro forma information for
the fiscal 1997 quarter to give effect as if the repayment of the Company's debt
obligations from the proceeds of the Offering had occurred as of the beginning
of the period. Reported interest expense in the fiscal 1998 quarter is the
result of new borrowing subsequent to the repayment. Actual interest expense
declined to $86,000 for the fiscal 1998 quarter from $263,000 for the fiscal
1997 quarter due primarily to the repayment discussed above.

         Provision for Income Taxes. Prior to October 31, 1997, MPW was an S
Corporation for income tax purposes and did not record a provision for federal
and certain state income taxes. The provision for income taxes in the adjusted
pro forma information has been assumed to be at an effective rate of 40.0% for
each of the periods presented.

         Net Income and Net Income per Share. Net income increased $348,000, or
78.2%, to $793,000 for the fiscal 1998 quarter from $445,000 for the fiscal 1997
quarter. Assuming dilution, net income per share increased to $0.07 for the
fiscal 1998 quarter from $0.04 for the fiscal 1997 quarter. These increases are
due to the factors discussed above. Weighted average common shares outstanding
used in the calculation of net income per share for the fiscal 1997 quarter
assumes that the Offering and repurchase of minority interests had occurred at
the beginning of the period.

   NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997

         Basis of Presentation. Management's analysis of the nine months ended
March 31, 1998 ("nine month fiscal 1998 period") compared to the nine months
ended March 31, 1997 ("nine month fiscal 1997 period") utilizes the supplemental
adjusted pro forma information as provided in the tables on pages 11 and 12
herein.

         Revenues. Revenues increased by $13.6 million, or 25.4%, to $67.2
million for the nine month fiscal 1998 period from $53.6 million for the nine
month fiscal 1997 period. The internal rate of growth in revenues in the nine
month fiscal 1998 period was 18.9% as a result of growth of more than 12.5% in
industrial cleaning and facility support along with significant growth in each
of the Company's complementary services lines. Internal growth in revenues in
the Company's industrial air filtration service line for the nine month fiscal
1998 period was 43.2%. Revenues also increased in the nine month fiscal 1998
period as a result of the acquisition of ESI International, which contributed
$3.5 million of revenues.

         Cost of Services. Cost of services increased by $10.1 million, or
28.6%, to $45.6 million for the nine month fiscal 1998 period from $35.5 million
for the nine month fiscal 1997 period. Cost of services as a percentage of
revenues increased to 67.9% for the nine month fiscal 1998 period from 66.2% for
the nine month fiscal 1997 period. The increase in cost of services as a
percentage of revenues is the result of a greater percentage of revenues being
derived in the nine month fiscal 1998 period from the Company's industrial air
filtration customers and from certain of the Company's industrial cleaning and
facility support customers from which the Company experienced lower margins as
compared to the nine month fiscal 1997 period. Improved margins in the Company's
other service lines partially offset the lower margins discussed above.

         Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased by $1.4 million, or 13.4%, to $11.8 million
for the nine month fiscal 1998 period from $10.4 million for the nine month
fiscal 1997 period. This increase is primarily due to the acquisition of ESI
International and investments in the Company's infrastructure to support its
overall growth. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a
percentage of revenues to 17.6% for the nine month fiscal 1998 period from 19.5%
for the nine month fiscal 1997 period.

         Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased
by $287,000, or 12.8%, to $2.5 million for the nine month fiscal 1998 period
from $2.2 million for the nine month fiscal 1997 period. This increase is
primarily a result of additional capital expenditures and additional goodwill
arising out of the purchase of ESI International during the current fiscal year.
Depreciation and amortization decreased as a percentage of revenues to 3.8% for
the nine month fiscal 1998 period from 4.2% for the nine month fiscal 


                                                                         Page 13

<PAGE>   14

1997 period. This decrease as a percentage of revenues is primarily due to
revenue growth in service lines for which less capital investment is required.

         Income from Operations. Income from operations increased $1.8 million,
or 33.2%, to $7.2 million for the nine month fiscal 1998 period from $5.4
million for the nine month fiscal 1997 period. Income from operations also
increased as a percentage of revenues to 10.7% for the nine month fiscal 1998
period from 10.1% for the nine month fiscal 1997 period. The increase in income
from operations and the improved operating margin are due to the factors
discussed above.

         Interest Expense, net. Immediately following the Offering, the Company
had no borrowing under the Credit Facility with its banks. For this reason,
interest expense has been eliminated in the adjusted pro forma information to
give effect as if the repayment of the Company's debt obligations from the
proceeds of the Offering had occurred as of the beginning of each of the periods
presented. Actual interest expense before the adjusted pro forma elimination
declined to $637,000 for the nine month fiscal 1998 period from $813,000 for the
nine month fiscal 1997 period primarily due to the repayment discussed above.

         Provision for Income Taxes. Prior to October 31, 1997, MPW was an S
Corporation for income tax purposes and did not record a provision for federal
and certain state income taxes. The provision for income taxes in the adjusted
pro forma information has been assumed to be at an effective rate of 40.0% for
each of the periods presented.

         Net Income and Net Income per Share. Net income increased $1.0 million,
or 31.6%, to $4.3 million for the nine month fiscal 1998 period from $3.3
million for the nine month fiscal 1997 period. Assuming dilution, net income per
share increased to $0.40 for the nine month fiscal 1998 period from $0.30 for
the nine month fiscal 1997 period. These increases are due to the factors
discussed above. Weighted average common shares outstanding used in the
calculation of net income per share assumes that the Offering and repurchase of
minority interests had occurred at the beginning of each of the periods
presented.


QUARTERLY RESULTS AND SEASONALITY

         The Company's results of operations tend to vary seasonally, with the
least amount of revenues generated in the third quarter, higher revenues in the
second quarter and the greatest amount of revenues in the first and fourth
quarters. The Company's quarterly results of operations may fluctuate
significantly as a result of a number of factors over which the Company has no
control, including its customers' budgetary constraints, the timing and duration
of its customers' planned maintenance activities and shutdowns, changes in its
competitors pricing policies and general economic conditions. Also, certain
operating and fixed costs remain relatively constant throughout the fiscal year
that, when offset by differing levels of revenues, may result in fluctuations in
quarterly results.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The proceeds of the Offering received by the Company on December 5,
1997 were $30.1 million, net of underwriting discounts and other costs
associated with the Offering of $3.6 million. Of the proceeds, the Company used
$15.9 million to repay all of the outstanding debt under the Company's various
credit arrangements with its principal banks. The amount repaid included $3.0
million relating to the acquisition of ESI International that occurred during
the three month period ended December 31, 1997. Additionally, $13.4 million was
used to satisfy a portion of the AAA Notes. As a result of these payments, and
as of December 31, 1997, the Company had no borrowing from its principal banks.

         On January 6, 1998, the Company received an additional $2.0 million,
net of underwriting discounts of $150,000 from the partial exercise of the
underwriters' over-allotment option for 237,500 shares.

         On February 11, 1998, $3.6 million of AAA Notes that were outstanding
as of December 31, 1997 were redeemed by an entity controlled by the Company's
principal shareholder for the sale of a corporate aircraft.

         The Company's total debt as of March 31, 1998, including current
maturities, was $6.0 million. Of this amount, $4.2 million is the amount of AAA
Notes that was due and paid on April 15, 1998. The Company satisfied this
obligation primarily with its cash on hand, including the proceeds from the
partial exercise of the over-allotment option. The remaining amount of the
Company's debt of $1.8 million is related to the acquisition of ESI
International.


                                                                         Page 14

<PAGE>   15

         As of March 31, 1998, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2.8
million and working capital of $9.4 million. During the nine month fiscal 1998
period, the Company had net cash provided by operating activities of $5.4
million, made capital investments of $4.9 million and made cash payments for the
acquisition of ESI International of $2.7 million, net of cash received.

         Effective December 10, 1997, the Company entered into the Credit
Facility with its principal banks. This Credit Facility, as amended, provides
the Company with $50.0 million of credit availability for a three-year period.
Under the Credit Facility, $15.0 million is available for working capital needs,
of which $5.0 million may be used for letters of credit. The remaining $35.0
million is available for use by the Company in growth initiatives such as
capital expenditure programs and acquisitions. Borrowing under the Credit
Facility is at rates, based on the prime rate or LIBOR, that the Company
believes to be very favorable. Availability of borrowing is subject to the
maintenance of a minimum level of tangible net worth, certain levels of debt
service coverage and maintenance of a certain ratio of funded debt to equity
that the Company believes are achievable. As of March 31, 1998, no amounts had
been drawn on the Credit Facility. In April 1998, $7.3 million in term notes was
drawn against the Credit Facility for the purchase of the Vinewood Companies.

         The Company believes that cash on hand as of March 31, 1998, cash
received from the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, cash flow from
operations and available borrowing under the Credit Facility will be sufficient
to fund its currently planned capital projects and operations for at least the
next 24 months. The Company actively seeks opportunities to expand its business
operations. If acquisition opportunities develop, the Company believes that it
has adequate financing capacity in the Credit Facility. If acquisition
opportunities of significant size develop that would extend the Company's
borrowing beyond the capacity of the Credit Facility, the Company may be
required to seek additional financing.


INFLATION

         The effects of inflation on the Company's operations were not
significant during the periods presented in the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
