                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of ATG Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed of the Molten Metal Technology, Inc. Catalytic Extraction and Wet Waste
Business as of September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 and the related
statement of revenue and direct operating expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 and for the year ended December 31, 1997.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements audited by us present fairly, in all
material respects, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the Molten
Metal Technology, Inc. Catalytic Extraction and Wet Waste Business as of
September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, and the related statement of revenue
and direct operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and
for the year ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted

                         Notes to Financial Statements



1.  BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

On December 1, 1998, ATG Inc. (the "Company"), acquired certain assets and
business lines from the trustee (the "Trustee" or "Seller") for debtors under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Massachusetts, Case Nos. 97-21385-CJK through 97-
21389-CJK.  The assets and business lines acquired were formerly owned by Molten
Metal Technology, Inc. or its affiliates ("MMT").

The accompanying statement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of
September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 of the MMT Catalytic Extraction and Wet
Waste Business and the related statement of revenue and direct operating
expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and the year ended
December 31, 1997 were prepared from the books and records maintained by MMT
using the historical cost method, of which the Catalytic Extraction Business and
Wet Waste Business represents a specific business unit.  The Catalytic
Extraction and Wet Waste Business has never operated as a separate business
entity or division of MMT but rather has been an integrated part of MMT's
consolidated business.  The statement of revenue and direct operating expenses
do not include charges from MMT for corporate selling, general, administrative,
interest and income tax expense since such items are considered to be MMT
corporate expenses and are not allocable to individual business units.  Such
expenses included costs for MMT's executive management, information systems
support, corporate accounting and treasury functions, corporate legal matters,
and other such costs.

The statement of revenue and direct operating expenses include the revenue and
direct costs that relate to the Catalytic Extraction and Wet Waste Business.
Direct operating expenses include salaries and wages, fringe benefits,
materials, depreciation and other expenses directly associated with revenue
generating activities.

The assets purchased by the Company included substantially all of the fixed
assets, contracts, licenses and permits associated with the Seller's catalytic
extraction processing (thermal treatment) of radioactively contaminated resins
used at nuclear power plants and wet waste processing of radioactive
contaminated liquids.  The businesses also included the rental of containers and
shielded transportation equipment and sale of treatment, dewatering and volume
reduction equipment.


2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Inventory
- ---------

Inventory consists primarily of waste containers that are specifically
identified and are valued at the lower of acquisition cost or market.

Intangible Assets
- -----------------

Intangible assets are stated at cost.  Amortization is calculated on a straight-
line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

Property, Plant and Equipment
- -----------------------------

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation on equipment is
calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the
related assets.  Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to expense as
incurred.

Revenue Recognition
- -------------------

Revenue from waste processing services is generally recognized upon the
substantial completion of the waste treatment process.  Revenue from
transportation services and equipment sales is recognized as the services are
provided and equipment is delivered.

Direct Operating Expenses
- -------------------------

Direct operating expenses incurred represent only those costs associated with
the direct revenue and operations of the businesses.  Such costs include
allowance for bad debts, reserves for closure or decommissioning, depreciation,
amortization, interest and taxes.  Costs associated with estimates of realizable
value or valuation of assets, including impairment of assets have not been
included.

                        PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Introduction to Pro Forma Financial Information

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet of the Company as of September
30, 1998 assumes that the acquisition of certain assets and assumption of
certain liabilities of MMT's Catalytic Extraction and Wet Waste Business had
occurred on that date.  The unaudited pro forma combined statements of
operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and for the year-ended
December 31, 1997 present the results of operations of the Company assuming the
acquisition of MMT's Catalytic Extraction and Wet Waste Business had been
consummated as of the beginning of the periods indicated.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements have been prepared by the
Company and all calculations have been made based upon assumptions deemed
appropriate.  Included in these assumptions is the presumption that no
additional selling, general and administrative costs are required because the
current infrastructure is deemed sufficient to support the additional activities
anticipated from the acquisition.  The unaudited pro forma combined financial

                Notes to Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements
                                  (Unaudited)


1.  The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the
    nine months ended September 30, 1998 and year ended December 31, 1997, have
    been prepared by combining the historical consolidated financial statements
    of operations of the Company with the historical statements of revenue and
    direct expenses related to the net assets acquired.

2.  The acquisition is being accounted for using the purchase method of
    accounting. The net purchase price is less than the fair market value of
    assets purchased, thus no goodwill has been recognized.

3.  The pro forma combined statements of operations include adjustments to: 1)
    reflect estimated depreciation and amortization based on the allocated
    purchase price to the assets acquired; and 2) adjust the combined tax
    provision.

4.  The pro forma combined balance sheet has been prepared to reflect the
    acquisition of the assets and assumed liabilities as of the date of
    purchase. Pro forma adjustments are made to reflect: 1) the payment of cash
    and related borrowings; 2) the assumption of certain liabilities related to
    legacy wastes, reserves for decommissioning of the facility and limited cure
    costs payable to vendors; 3) the estimated fair value of land, buildings and
    equipment purchased; and 4) the estimated fair value of receivables,
    inventory and intangible assets. There was no goodwill reflected in the
    transaction.
