        Notes to Consolidated Consensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE A.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- - ------------------------------

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal  recurring  accruals  and the  unusual  charges  discussed  in Note B)
necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the
three month period ended March 31, 1996 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the
results  that may be  expected  for the  year  ending  December  31,  1996.  The
consolidated  condensed balance sheet at December 31, 1995 has been derived from
audited financial statements at that date. For further information, refer to the
consolidated  financial  statements and notes thereto  included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.


NOTE B.  UNUSUAL CHARGES
- - ------------------------

In  the  first  quarter  the  Company  initiated  a  reorganization  to  improve
productivity  and reduce  costs.  The  reorganization  consists  principally  of
consolidating all the Company's  headquarters  functions in a single office. The
Company's  Stamford,  Connecticut  corporate  headquarters  and the  Treatment &
Disposal  Services  segment's  Horsham,  Pennsylvania  headquarters both will be
closed by mid-year and their activities moved to the International  Mill Service
headquarters building, also in Horsham. Early in the second quarter, the Company
decided to close IMSAMET's Phoenix,  Arizona headquarters as well. Approximately
55 positions will be eliminated as a result of the reorganization, mostly in the
Treatment & Disposal Services segment.

To cover the cost of these and related  changes,  the Company  expects to record
restructuring and relocation  charges during 1996 of approximately $4.4 million.
$2.5  million of this amount was  recorded  in the first  quarter for closure of
both the Company's  Stamford  headquarters  and  Treatment & Disposal  Services'
headquarters  and related employee  termination  costs, $.3 million of which was
spent in the first quarter. As a result of reorganizing,  the Company expects to
realize ongoing cost savings of  approximately  $5 million per year.  Savings of
approximately $3.5 million are expected in 1996.

In the first  quarter the Company also recorded a $.9 million  charge  resulting
from the  recent  settlement  of the last  disputed  matter  remaining  from the
Company's 1993 restructuring.

The first quarter unusual  charges  together with the gain from retiring Class G
preferred stock (Note C), amounted to a net $.05 loss per share.

        Notes to Consolidated Consensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE C.  OTHER INFORMATION
- - --------------------------

In the first  quarter of 1996,  the Company  retired  236,120  shares of Class G
redeemable preferred stock for $33.1 million, resulting in a $250,000 retirement
gain.

At March 31, 1996, $72 million of revolving  credit  borrowings and $9.3 million
of standby letters of credit were outstanding.  

The Company  paid  interest of $.5  million  and $1.4  million  during the three
months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.

In the three  months  ended March 31,  1996,  state income tax benefit more than
offset foreign income taxes  payable.  Income tax expense  payable for the three
months ended March 31, 1995 consists of state and foreign  income taxes.  In the
three  months  ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,  the Company  made cash income tax
payments, net of refunds, of $.1 million and $.3 million.

Per share  amounts are based on the  weighted  average  number of common  shares
outstanding  and the dilutive  effect of stock options and warrants:  40,577,000
and  40,625,000  for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. The Class G
redeemable preferred stock was not dilutive.


NOTE D.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
- - --------------------------------------

As of March 31,  1996,  the  Company  has  commitments  to spend $8 million  for
equipment additions.

To secure its  obligations to close its Idaho landfill and perform  post-closure
monitoring and maintenance  procedures,  the Company must deposit into a closure
trust fund  approximately $1 million annually through 1998. The Company believes
these payments  together with those  previously made will satisfy  substantially
all of its  landfill  closure  and  post-closure  obligations,  based on current
regulations and permitted capacity.

At March 31,  1996,  the Company  was  contingently  liable for $9.3  million of
letters  of  credit  outstanding  under  its bank  credit  agreement,  including
approximately  $5  million  to  secure  liabilities  already  reflected  in  the
consolidated condensed balance sheet.

NOTE D.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES -- Continued
- - ---------------------------------------------------

IU International  Corporation ("IU International")  sold P-I-E Nationwide,  Inc.
("PIE")  in 1985.  PIE  commenced  bankruptcy  proceedings  in 1990  and  ceased
operations,  which  triggered  withdrawal  liabilities to certain  multiemployer
pension  plans,  estimated by PIE in 1990 to aggregate $58 million.  In 1991 the
trustees of the largest plan sought  information from the Company for the stated
purpose of determining whether the circumstances of IU International's 1985 sale
of PIE would justify a claim against the Company for any  deficiencies  in PIE's
payment of withdrawal  liabilities to such plan. Such plan did not again contact
the Company  concerning  this matter  until early in 1995,  when the Company was
advised that such plan's  consideration as to whether it would assert a claim is
ongoing.  Such plan  recently  sent a letter to the Company  indicating  that it
intends to initiate a claim under the Multiemployer  Pension Plan Amendments Act
of 1980  ("MPPAA")  if the plan and the Company are unable to resolve the matter
promptly.  The Company  believes any such claim is unwarranted and, if asserted,
would  contest  any such claim  vigorously.  The Company  also  believes it will
ultimately prevail on the merits.  However, under MPPAA, the plan trustees could
require the Company to make  substantial  monthly payments before any issues are
arbitrated or litigated.  If onerous  monthly  payments are imposed by the plan,
the Company will take any and all actions it deems  necessary and appropriate to
protect  itself  until the  matter can be  arbitrated  and/or  litigated  on its
merits.  The Company will be meeting with the plan in the near future to discuss
the issues  raised in the plan's  letter and to seek  resolution of this matter.
The Company  continues to believe that the  underlying  facts and  circumstances
support a  conclusion  that these  matters  will be  resolved  with no  material
adverse effect on its financial condition.  However,  resolution of this matter,
which is likely to take place in the  current  fiscal  year,  could  result in a
charge  that is  material  to results of  operations  and cash flows in a single
accounting period.

The Company's Ohio and Idaho  facilities hold operating  permits issued by state
and federal environmental  agencies under the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act, as amended,  that require renewal and  modification  from time to time. The
Company  expects  that it will  obtain the  renewals  and  modifications  to its
permits  that it  requires  to  continue  to provide  landfill  capacity  in its
approved disposal cells well into the next decade.

The Company and its competitors and customers are subject to a complex, evolving
array of  federal,  state  and  local  environmental  laws and  regulations.  In
particular,  such  requirements not only can affect the demand for treatment and
disposal services, but could also require the Company to incur significant costs
for such matters as facility upgrading, remediation or other

corrective action, facility closure and post-closure maintenance and monitoring.
It is possible  that the future  imposition  of such  requirements could have a
material  adverse  effect on the  Company's  results of  operations or financial
condition,  but the Company believes that the consolidated  financial statements
appropriately  reflect all presently known  compliance  costs in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.

The  Company  is a party to  litigation  and  proceedings  arising in the normal
course of its present or former  businesses.  In the opinion of management, the
outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition or results of operations.

</TABLE>

    Industrial  Environmental  Services  revenues  declined as conditions in the
aluminum  industry  in the 1996  quarter  were not as  favorable  as in the 1995
quarter.  In the 1995 quarter aluminum prices were higher and our Idaho facility
enjoyed a higher volume of used beverage cans for  recycling.  Conditions in the
steel industry were strong in both the 1996 and 1995 quarters. However, revenues
(and  earnings)  in the  second  half of the year and beyond  will be  adversely
affected  by  the  loss  of  a  steel  industry   customer  that  accounted  for
approximately 4% of first quarter Industrial Environmental Services revenue. The
Company is taking  steps to obtain  additional  business  that  would  partially
offset this impact.  Treatment & Disposal  Services  revenues  decreased because
there was no  scrubber  sludge  stabilization  system  contract  revenue in 1996
compared with $4.3 million of revenue from one such contract in 1995.  Treatment
and disposal  volume  reductions in 1996,  resulting from  continuing  depressed
market conditions, contributed the rest of the decline.

    Industrial  Environmental  Services  gross profit  decreased for the reasons
discussed  above  as  well  as  continued  losses  at the  year-old  Utah  dross
processing  plant and slightly  lower margins in the metal  recovery  operations
that service the steel industry.  The Treatment & Disposal Services gross profit
decline was primarily due to the shortfall in treatment and disposal  volume and
to a  lesser  extent  to the lack of any  stabilization  system  contracts.  The
Treatment & Disposal Services segment is continuing the comprehensive  marketing
program it began in 1995 to increase  treatment and disposal volume by using its
proprietary  Super  Detox(SM)  technology to treat steel mill electric arc
furnace dust at its  Ohio  and  Idaho  facilities.  Despite  the  overall
shortfall  in treatment  and disposal  volume,  tonnages of this waste  stream
are  increasing steadily.

    Continuing  selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  at  Treatment &
Disposal  Services  were $.4 million lower in 1996 due to the effect of the 1996
reorganization which is discussed in the next paragraph.

    1996 unusual charges of $3.4 million include $.9 million  resulting from the
recent  settlement of the last disputed matter remaining from the Company's 1993
restructuring  and $2.5  million for the  Company's  previously  announced  1996
reorganization. See Note B for a description of the reorganization. To cover the
cost of this  reorganization,  the Company expects to record  restructuring  and
relocation charges during 1996 totaling approximately $4.4 million. $2.5 million
of this  amount  was  recorded  in the first  quarter  for  closure  of both the
Company's Stamford headquarters and Treatment & Disposal Services'  headquarters
and related  employee  termination  costs, $.3 million of which was spent in the
first  quarter.  As a result of  reorganizing,  the  Company  expects to realize
ongoing  cost  savings  of  approximately  $5  million  per  year.   Savings  of
approximately  $3.5  million are  expected  in 1996.  The  consolidation  of the
Corporate,  International  Mill Service and Treatment & Disposal Services staffs
under one roof will also  enhance the  Company's  ability to expand the range of
environmental and specialized material handling services it provides to the U.S.
steel industry, its largest customer base.

    In 1995 an  unusual  charge  of $.4  million  for  Industrial  Environmental
Services  severance cost was offset by an unusual  Treatment & Disposal Services
gain  resulting  from the sale of its  prospective  Pennsylvania  landfill site,
designated  for disposal as part of the Company's 1993  restructuring,  for more
than previously estimated.

    Interest expense  increased $.4 million primarily due to higher average debt
levels.

    The income tax  benefit in the 1996  period  compared to expense in the 1995
period was due to the pre-tax loss in the current period versus income in 1995.

    Due to the  factors  described  above,  the 1997  net loss was $2.5  million
compared with $1.6 million net income in 1995.

    Class G preferred  stock dividend  requirements  in 1996 were reduced due to
the  retirement  of almost all of the  outstanding  shares in the 1996  quarter,
resulting in a $.3 million retirement gain.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The Company's liquidity requirements arise primarily from the funding of its
capital expenditures, Treatment & Disposal Services trust fund payments, working
capital needs and debt service  obligations.  Historically,  the Company has met
such  requirements  with cash flows  generated by operations and with additional
debt financing.

    In addition,  the Company's  Class G redeemable  preferred stock was due for
redemption on July 15, 1996. In the first quarter of 1996,  the Company  retired
virtually all of such Class G preferred  stock for $33.1 million,  financed with
borrowings under its bank credit facility.

    The  Company  expects  1996  capital  expenditures  of $20  to $25  million,
primarily for equipment  replacements.  $5.4 million was spent through March 31,
1996 and the Company is committed for an additional $8 million.

    Treatment & Disposal  Services'  landfill permits require it to fund closure
and post-closure  monitoring and maintenance  obligations by making  essentially
nonrefundable  trust fund payments.  These payments amounted to $27.1 million in
the three years 1993 through 1995.  However,  based on current  regulations  and
permitted  capacity,  remaining  payments  are  expected  to  amount to about $1
million annually through 1998.

    The  consolidated  balance sheet reflects  negative  working capital of $3.2
million  at March  31,  1996,  including  a $3  million  accrued  liability  for
estimated  reorganization and restructuring costs.  Scheduled debt repayments in
the last three quarters of 1996 are $3 million.

    In early 1995, a multiemployer pension plan contacted the Company concerning
a  potential  claim  against  the  Company  for  deficiencies  in the payment of
withdrawal  liabilities  by a  subsidiary  that  was  sold  by IU  International
Corporation prior to the Company's  acquisition of IU International in 1988. See
Note D.  Such plan  recently  sent a letter to the  Company  indicating  that it
intends to initiate a claim under the Multiemployer  Pension Plan Amendments Act
of 1980  ("MPPAA")  if the plan and the Company are unable to resolve the matter
promptly.  The Company  believes any such claim is unwarranted and, if asserted,
would  contest  any such claim  vigorously.  The Company  also  believes it will
ultimately prevail on the merits.  However, under MPPAA, the plan trustees could
require the Company to make  substantial  monthly payments before any issues are
arbitrated or litigated.  If onerous  monthly  payments are imposed by the plan,
the Company will take any and all actions it deems  necessary and appropriate to
protect  itself  until the  matter can be  arbitrated  and/or  litigated  on its
merits.  The Company will be meeting with the plan in the near future to discuss
the issues  raised in the plan's  letter and to seek  resolution of this matter.
The Company  continues to believe that the  underlying  facts and  circumstances
support a  conclusion  that these  matters  will be  resolved  with no  material
adverse effect on its financial condition.  However,  resolution of this matter,
which is likely to take place in the  current  fiscal  year,  could  result in a
charge  that is  material  to results of  operations  and cash flows in a single
accounting period.

    The bank credit facility provides $100 million of revolving credit borrowing
and letter of credit  capacity,  declining  by $12.5  million in each of January
1999 and 2000 and terminating on January 2, 2001. At March 31, 1996, $72 million
of revolving  credit  borrowings  and $9.3 million of standby  letters of credit
were  outstanding.  

    Cash on hand,  funds from  operations and borrowing  capacity under the bank
credit facility are expected to satisfy the Company's  normal operating and debt
service requirements.

    Because its businesses are  environmentally-oriented,  and therefore  highly
regulated,  the  Company  is  subject to  violations  alleged  by  environmental
regulators  and,  occasionally,  fines.  Such  matters  have not had and are not
expected  to have a material  impact on the  Company's  business.  Environmental
compliance is discussed in Note D.

     The Company's bank credit facility prohibits the Company from declaring and
paying  dividends on its Class G $7.25  Cumulative  Convertible  Preferred Stock
(the "Class G Stock"). The Company has omitted regular quarterly dividends since
October 1990 on the Class G Stock.  The total amount of unpaid  dividends on the

syndication agent for the Lenders (in such capacity,  the "Syndication  Agent").
Unless otherwise defined herein,  terms defined in the Credit Agreement and used

     NationsBank, N.A. (the "Assignor") and Banque Paribas (the

     1. The  Assignor  hereby  irrevocably  sells and  assigns  to the  Assignee
without recourse to the Assignor,  and the Assignee hereby irrevocably purchases
and  assumes  from the  Assignor  without  recourse to the  Assignor,  as of the

respect to those credit facilities  contained in the Credit Agreement as are set
forth on Schedule 1 (individually,  an "Assigned  Facility";  collectively,  the

forth on Schedule 1.

     2. The  Assignor  (a) makes no  representation  or warranty  and assumes no
responsibility  with respect to any  statements,  warranties or  representations
made in or in connection with the Credit  Agreement or the execution,  legality,
validity,  enforceability,  genuineness,  sufficiency  or  value  of the  Credit
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished
pursuant thereto,  other than that it has not created any adverse claim upon the
interest being assigned by it hereunder and that such interest is free and clear
of any such adverse claim; (b) makes no  representation  or warranty and assumes
no  responsibility  with respect to the financial  condition of the Parent,  the
Borrower or any of the Parent's other  Subsidiaries  or any other obligor or the

credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Agreement,  the
other Loan  Documents or any other  instrument  or document  furnished  pursuant
hereto or thereto;  (d) appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take
such  action as agent on its behalf and to exercise  such powers and  discretion
under the Credit Agreement,  the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or

Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder and under the

                         ASSIGNMENT AND ACCEPTANCE


     Reference is made to the Credit  Agreement,  dated as of December 19, 1995,
(as amended,  supplemented or otherwise  modified from time to time, the "Credit
Agreement"),  among International Mill Service, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation
(the "Borrower"), Envirosource, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Parent"), the
banks and other financial institutions (the "Lenders") from time to time parties
thereto,  NationsBank,  N.A., as  administrative  agent for the Lenders (in such
capacity,  the "Administrative  Agent"), and Credit Lyonnais New York Branch, as
syndication agent for the Lenders (in such capacity,  the "Syndication  Agent").
Unless otherwise defined herein,  terms defined in the Credit Agreement and used
herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.

     Credit  Lyonnais New York Branch (the  "Assignor")  and Banque Paribas (the
"Assignee") agree as follows:

     1. The  Assignor  hereby  irrevocably  sells and  assigns  to the  Assignee
without recourse to the Assignor,  and the Assignee hereby irrevocably purchases
and  assumes  from the  Assignor  without  recourse to the  Assignor,  as of the
Effective Date (as defined below), a 5.0% interest (the "Assigned  Interest") in
and to the Assignor's  rights and  obligations  under the Credit  Agreement with
respect to those credit facilities  contained in the Credit Agreement as are set
forth on Schedule 1 (individually,  an "Assigned  Facility";  collectively,  the
"Assigned Facilities"),  in a principal amount for each Assigned Facility as set
forth on Schedule 1.

     2. The  Assignor  (a) makes no  representation  or warranty  and assumes no
responsibility  with respect to any  statements,  warranties or  representations
made in or in connection with the Credit  Agreement or the execution,  legality,
validity,  enforceability,  genuineness,  sufficiency  or  value  of the  Credit
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished
pursuant thereto,  other than that it has not created any adverse claim upon the
interest being assigned by it hereunder and that such interest is free and clear
of any such adverse claim; (b) makes no  representation  or warranty and assumes
no  responsibility  with respect to the financial  condition of the Parent,  the
Borrower or any of the Parent's other  Subsidiaries  or any other obligor or the
performance  or  observance  by the Parent,  the Borrower or any of the Parent's
other  Subsidiaries or any other obligor of any of their respective  obligations
under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other instrument or
document  furnished  pursuant hereto or thereto;  and (c) attaches the Revolving
Credit Note(s) held by it evidencing  the Assigned  Facilities and requests that
the  Administrative  Agent  exchange  such  Revolving  Credit  Note(s) for a new
Revolving  Credit Note or Revolving  Credit Notes  payable to the Assignee in an
amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment assumed by the Assignee pursuant
hereto and (if the Assignor has retained any interest in the Assigned  Facility)
a new Revolving Credit Note or Revolving Credit Notes payable to the Assignor in
an amount  equal to the  Revolving  Credit  Commitment  retained by the Assignor
under the Credit Agreement, as specified on Schedule 1.

<PAGE>

     3. The Assignee (a) represents  and warrants that it is legally  authorized
to enter into this Assignment and Acceptance;  (b) confirms that it has received
a copy of the Credit Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements
delivered  pursuant  to  subsection  4.1 thereof  and such other  documents  and
information  as it has deemed  appropriate  to make its own credit  analysis and
decision to enter into this Assignment and Acceptance;  (c) agrees that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Assignor,  the Administrative Agent,
the  Syndication  Agent or any  other  Lender  and based on such  documents  and
information as it shall deem  appropriate at the time,  continue to make its own
credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Agreement,  the
other Loan  Documents or any other  instrument  or document  furnished  pursuant
hereto or thereto;  (d) appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take
such  action as agent on its behalf and to exercise  such powers and  discretion
under the Credit Agreement,  the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or
document   furnished  pursuant  hereto  or  thereto  as  are  delegated  to  the
Administrative  Agent by the terms  thereof,  together  with such  powers as are
incidental  thereto;  and (e) agrees that it will be bound by the  provisions of
the  Credit  Agreement  and will  perform in  accordance  with its terms all the
obligations  which by the  terms of the  Credit  Agreement  are  required  to be
performed by it as a Lender  including,  if it is organized  under the laws of a
jurisdiction  outside the United States,  its obligation  pursuant to subsection
2.16(b) of the Credit Agreement.

     4. The effective date of this  Assignment and Acceptance  shall be February
8, 1996 (the "Effective  Date").  Following the execution of this Assignment and
Acceptance,  it will be delivered to the Administrative  Agent for acceptance by
it and recording by the Administrative  Agent pursuant to subsection 11.6 of the
Credit  Agreement,  effective as of the Effective Date (which shall not,  unless
otherwise agreed to by the  Administrative  Agent, be earlier than five Business
Days  after the date of such  acceptance  and  recording  by the  Administrative
Agent).

     5. Upon such  acceptance and recording,  from and after the Effective Date,
the  Administrative  Agent shall make all  payments  in respect of the  Assigned
Interest (including payments of principal,  interest, fees and other amounts) to
the Assignee  whether such amounts have accrued prior to the  Effective  Date or
accrue  subsequent to the Effective  Date.  The Assignor and the Assignee  shall
make all  appropriate  adjustments in payments by the  Administrative  Agent for
periods  prior to the  Effective  Date or with  respect  to the  making  of this
assignment directly between themselves.

     6. From and after the Effective  Date, (a) the Assignee shall be a party to
the  Credit  Agreement  and,  to the  extent  provided  in this  Assignment  and
Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder and under the
other Loan  Documents and shall be bound by the  provisions  thereof and (b) the
Assignor  shall,  to the extent  provided  in this  Assignment  and  Acceptance,
relinquish  its rights and be  released  from its  obligations  under the Credit
Agreement.

     7. This  Assignment  and  Acceptance  shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

     IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the parties  hereto have caused this  Assignment  and
Acceptance to be executed as of the date first above written by their respective
duly authorized officers on Schedule 1 hereto.
