The Secured Credit Facility, provided by NationsBanc Montgomery Securities LLC
and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, enables the Company to obtain revolving
secured loans from time to time to finance certain permitted acquisitions, to
repay existing indebtedness, to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection
with certain acquisitions and for working capital and general corporate
purposes. At the Company's option, the revolving secured loans may be maintained
as (a) Eurodollar Loans (as defined), which will bear interest at a rate equal
to the quotient obtained by dividing LIBOR (as defined) by one minus the reserve
requirement for such Eurodollar Loan, plus a margin ranging from 175 to 250
basis points or (b) Base Rate Loans (as defined), which will have an interest
rate equal to the higher of (i) the Bank of America prime rate and (ii) the
federal funds rate plus 0.5%, plus a margin ranging from 50 to 125 basis points.
The Company will also pay certain fees with respect to the Secured Credit
Facility. The Secured Credit Facility has a term of five and one-half years from
the date of initial funding, is guaranteed by ISG and existing and future
subsidiaries of the Company (the "Guarantors"), and is secured by a first
priority perfected security interest in all of the capital stock of the Company
and all of the capital stock of each of the Guarantors, as well as certain
present and future assets and properties of the Company and any domestic
subsidiaries. At September 30, 1998, $29,500,000 was unused and available under
the Secured Credit Facility.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere herein.
General
During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, ISG Resources completed the
acquisition of Pozzolanic, PPA, the U.S. Ash Group and Fly Ash Products (the
"Acquisitions") resulting in the creation of the largest company managing coal
combustion products ("CCPs") in North America. Accordingly, the financial
condition and results of operations of the Company after the acquisitions is not
directly comparable to the historical financial condition or results of
operations.
ISG Resources' business is subject to a pattern of seasonal fluctuation. The
Company's need for working capital accelerates moderately during the middle of
the year, and, accordingly, total debt levels tend to peak in the second and
third quarters, falling off again in the fourth quarter of the year. Because the
Company's products are used as raw materials in other products, the amount of
revenue generated during the middle of the year generally depends upon a number
of factors, including the level of road and other construction using concrete,
weather conditions affecting the level of construction, general economic
conditions, and other factors beyond the Company's control.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 1998 compared to Three Months Ended September
30, 1997
Revenues. Revenues were $40.3 million in the third quarter of 1998, representing
an increase of $22.5 million or 126.4%, as compared to revenues of $17.8 million
in the third quarter of 1997. Product revenues increased to $29.6 million in the
third quarter of 1998 from $8.9 million in the third quarter of 1997,
representing an increase of $20.7 million or 232.6%. Service revenues increased
to $10.7 million in the third quarter of 1998 from $8.9 million in the third
quarter of 1997, representing a increase of $1.8 million or 20.2%. The increase
in product revenues is due primarily to the inclusion of revenues of the
Acquisitions since their respective dates of acquisition. The increase in
service revenues reflects the inclusion of revenues of the Acquisitions offset
by a decrease in the percentage of materials managed that were landfilled
instead of being marketed by the Company .
Cost of Product Revenues, Excluding Depreciation. Cost of product revenues,
excluding depreciation, was $18.9 million in the third quarter of 1998,
representing an increase of $11.9 million or 170.0% , as compared to cost of
product revenues, excluding depreciation, of $7.0 million in the third quarter
of 1997. This increase is due primarily to the inclusion of cost of revenues of
the the Acquisitions since their respective dates of acquisition. As a
percentage product revenues, cost of product revenues excluding depreciation,
decreased to 63.7% in the third quarter of 1998 from 78.9% in the third quarter
of 1997. This improvement in margin was primarily due to a change in product
mix. During the third quarter of 1997, substantial sales of low margin products
were sold to the Company's former parent. These sales were replaced with sales
of higher margin products to third parties in the third quarter of 1998,
resulting in improved margins.
Cost of Service Revenues, Excluding Depreciation. Cost of service revenues,
excluding depreciation was $7.5 million in the third quarter of 1998,
representing a increase of $0.6 million or 8.3%, as compared to cost of service
revenues, excluding depreciation, of $6.9 million in the third quarter of 1997.
This increase is due primarily to the increase in service revenues during the
same time period.
<PAGE>
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization was $2.5 million in
the third quarter of 1998, representing an increase of $1.9 million or 308.4%,
as compared to depreciation and amortization of $0.6 million in the third
quarter of 1997. This increase resulted primarily from the depreciation of fixed
assets and amortization of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets of the
Acquisitions and the increased goodwill resulting from the purchase of ISG
Resources by Industrial Services Group.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses ("SG&A") were $4.8 million in the third quarter of 1998,
representing an increase of $4.0 million or 493.1%, as compared to SG&A expenses
of $0.8 million in the third quarter of 1997. This increase in SG&A expenses
reflects incremental SG&A costs resulting from the operation of the Acquisitions
and an increase in management incentive compensation. Management fees were
allocated to the Company by their former parent based upon their share of
consolidated revenue. The allocated charges may not have been indicative of
expenses the Company would have incurred if the former parent had not provided
these services.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased to $2.9 million in the third
quarter of 1998 from $1.9 million in the third quarter of 1997, primarily as a
result of an increase in outstanding indebtedness.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $1.6 million in the third quarter of
1998, representing an increase of $1.2 million or 257.1%, as compared to income
tax expense of $0.4 in the third quarter of 1997. This increase reflects an
increase in taxable income in the third quarter of 1998 resulting from increased
sales.
Net Income. As a result of the factors discussed above, net income increased to
$2.2 million in the third quarter of 1998 from $0.1 million in the third quarter
of 1997.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30,
1997
Revenues. Revenues were $86.4 million in the first nine months of 1998,
representing an increase of $37.6 million or 77.0%, as compared to revenues of
$48.8 million in the first nine months of 1997. Product revenues increased to
$61.2 million in the first nine months of 1998 from $23.5 million in the first
nine months of 1997, representing an increase of $37.7 million or 159.9%.
Service revenues remained constant at $25.2 million in the first nine months of
1998 and 1997. The increase in product revenues is due primarily to the
inclusion of revenues of the Acquisitions since their respective dates of
acquisition. Service revenues remained constant due the inclusion of revenues of
the Acquisitions offset by a decrease in the percentage of materials managed
that were landfilled instead of marketed by the Company.
Cost of Product Revenues, Excluding Depreciation. Cost of product revenues,
excluding depreciation was $39.7 million in the first nine months of 1998,
representing an increase of $20.8 million or 109.5%, as compared to cost of
product revenues, excluding depreciation, of $19.0 million in the first nine
months of 1997. This increase is due primarily to the inclusion of cost of
revenues of the Acquisitions since their respective dates of acquisition. As a
percentage of product revenues, cost of product revenues excluding depreciation,
decreased to 64.9% in the first nine months of 1998 from 80.5% in the first nine
months of 1997. This improvement in margins was primarily due to a change in
product mix. During the first nine months of 1997, substantial sales of low
margin product were sold to the Company's former parent. These sales were
replaced with sales of higher margin product to third parties in the first nine
months of 1998, resulting in improved margins.
Cost of Service Revenues, Excluding Depreciation. Cost of service revenues,
excluding depreciation was $18.9 million in the first nine months of 1998,
representing a decrease of $0.9 million or 4.5%, as compared to cost of service
revenues, excluding depreciation, of $19.8 million in the first nine months of
1997. As a percentage of service revenues, cost of service revenues, excluding
depreciation, remained fairly constant at 74.9% in the first nine months of 1998
as compared to 78.2% in the first nine months of 1997.
<PAGE>
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization was $6.1 million in
the first nine months of 1998, representing an increase of $4.2 million or
222.6%, as compared to depreciation and amortization of $1.9 million in the
first nine months of 1997. This increase resulted primarily from the
depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of goodwill and identifiable
intangible assets of the Acquisitions and the increased goodwill due to the
purchase of ISG Resources by Industrial Service Group.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses ("SG&A") were $9.7 million in the first nine months of
1998, representing an increase of $6.2 million or 177.6%, as compared to SG&A
expenses of $3.5 million in the first nine months of 1997. This increase in SG&A
expenses reflects incremental SG&A costs resulting from the Acquisitions and an
increase in management incentive compensation. Management fees were allocated to
the Company by their former parent based upon their share of consolidated
revenue. The allocated charges may not have been indicative of expenses the
Company would have incurred if the former parent had not provided these
services.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased to $6.3 million in the first nine
months of 1998 from $4.2 million in the first nine months of 1997, primarily as
a result of an increase in outstanding indebtedness.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $2.8 million in the first nine months
of 1998, representing an increase of $2.1 million or 351.2%, as compared to
income tax expense of $0.6 in the first nine months of 1997. This increase
reflects an increase in taxable income in the first nine months of 1998
resulting from increased sales.
Net Income (Loss). As a result of the factors discussed above, net income
increased to $3.1 million in the first nine months of 1998 from a net loss of
$0.1 million in the first nine months of 1997.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company financed the Acquisitions through the issuance of $100.0 million of
10% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 and borrowings on its Secured Credit
Facility. Operating and capital expenditures have been financed primarily
through cash flows from operations and borrowings under the Secured Credit
Facility.
At September 30, 1998, the Company had $747,828 in cash and cash equivalents and
$29.5 million in availability under the Secured Credit Facility. In addition,
the Company had working capital of approximately $5.7 million, an increase of
$27.3 million from December 31, 1997, resulting primarily from the payment of a
$29.0 million bridge note with the proceeds of the Senior Subordinated Notes.
The Company intends to make capital expenditures over the next several years
principally to construct storage, loading and processing facilities for CCPs and
to replace existing capital equipment. During the nine months ended September
30, 1998, capital expenditures amounted to approximately $5.0 million. The
Company anticipates total capital expenditures for 1998 to be approximately $10
million. As of September 30, 1998, the Company had commitments for capital
expenditures of approximately $3.5 million. Capital expenditures made in the
ordinary course of business will be funded by cash flow from operations and
borrowings under the Secured Credit Facility.
The Company anticipates that its principal use of cash will be for working
capital requirements, debt service requirements and capital expenditures. Based
upon current and anticipated levels of operations, the Company believes that its
cash flow from operations, together with amounts available under the Secured
Credit Facility, will be adequate to meet its anticipated requirements for
working capital, capital expenditures and interest payments for the next several
years. There can be no assurance, however, that cash flow from operations will
be sufficient to service the Company's debt and the Company may be required to
refinance all or a portion of its existing debt or to obtain additional
financing. These increased borrowings may result in higher interest payments.
There can be no assurance that any such refinancing would be possible or that
any additional financing could be obtained. The inability to obtain additional
financing could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
