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

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated 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 and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 are not  necessarily  indicative
of the results that may be expected for the year ending  December 31, 1997.  The
condensed  consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1996 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, 1996.

Certain  amounts  reported  in  the  prior  year  have  been   reclassified  for
comparative purposes.

In February 1997, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
128, Earnings per Share, which will change the method for computing earnings per
share starting in the fourth quarter of 1997. The new method would have resulted
in the same per share amounts in both the 1997 and 1996 periods.

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

In the first quarter of 1996, the Company  initiated a reorganization to improve
productivity  and reduce costs.  The  reorganization  consisted  principally  of
consolidating all the Company's  headquarters  functions in a single office. The
Company's  corporate  headquarters in Stamford,  Connecticut and the Treatment &
Disposal Services segment's headquarters in Horsham, Pennsylvania were closed by
mid-1996  and  their  activities  moved  to  the   International   Mill  Service
headquarters  building,  also  in  Horsham.   Approximately  50  positions  were
eliminated,  mostly in the Treatment & Disposal Services  segment.  To cover the
cost of these and related charges, the Company provided $4.4 million in 1996, of
which $1.2  million  was  provided in the second  quarter  and $3.7  million was
provided in the six months ended June 30, 1996.

First quarter 1996 unusual  charges also included $.9 million to settle the last
disputed matter from the Company's 1993 restructuring.
<PAGE>

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

After  taxes,  1996  unusual  charges  amounted  to a $.02 per share loss in the
quarter and,  together with the gain from retiring Class G preferred stock (Note
E), amounted to a net $.07 loss per share in the six month period.

NOTE C.  SALE OF IMSAMET
- -------  ---------------

In  January  1997  the  Company  sold the  capital  stock of  IMSAMET,  Inc.,  a
wholly-owned  subsidiary that performed  recycling and waste management services
for the  aluminum  industry,  for $58 million  realizing a pre-tax gain of $19.6
million.  After a deferred income tax charge,  the gain amounted to $8.3 million
or $.20 per share.  The proceeds from the sale were used to repay $56 million of
revolving credit  borrowings and expenses  related to the transaction.  The gain
from the  sale in 1997 and  IMSAMET's  1996  results  have  been  classified  as
discontinued  operations.  IMSAMET  revenues  for the 1996  three  and six month
periods were $9,866,000 and $18,879,000.

NOTE D.  ALEXANDER MILL SERVICES ACQUISITION
- -------  -----------------------------------

The Company purchased Alexander Mill Services, Inc., a metal reclamation company
serving  the  mini-mill  sector of the steel  industry,  in May 1996.  Pro forma
results of operations, as if this transaction occurred at the beginning of 1996,
are as follows (in thousands, except per share amount):

Pro forma revenues                              $ 109,920

Pro forma net loss per share                    $    (.07)

The pro forma  information  is not  necessarily  indicative  of the results that
would have occurred had the transaction taken place at the beginning of 1996.

NOTE E.  OTHER INFORMATION
- -------  -----------------

As of June 30, 1997, $44 million of revolving credit borrowings and $6.6 million
of standby  letters of credit were  outstanding  under the Company's $65 million
bank credit facility.

<PAGE>

NOTE E.  OTHER INFORMATION -- Continued
- -------  ------------------------------

During the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, the Company paid interest of
$14.6  million  and $13.5  million  and made cash  income tax  payments,  net of
refunds, of $.4 million and $.5 million.

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.

NOTE F.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
- -------  -----------------------------

As of June 30,  1997,  the Company  has  commitments  to spend $8.9  million for
equipment additions and improvements to waste treatment facilities.

At June 30,  1997,  the  Company  was  contingently  liable for $6.6  million of
letters of credit  outstanding under its bank credit  agreement,  including $5.1
million that secure liabilities already reflected in the condensed  consolidated
balance sheet.

To secure  its  obligations  to close its  landfills  and  perform  post-closure
monitoring  and  maintenance  procedures,  the Company must make  payments  into
closure trust funds. Based on current regulations, planned improvements to waste
treatment  facilities  and  permitted  capacity,  such  payments are expected to
amount to approximately $1.7 million in 1997 and $2.7 million in 1998, including
the  reinvestment  of Idaho trust fund  earnings  that the  Company  includes in
interest  income.  Thereafter,  such  payments  are not  expected  to exceed the
reinvestment of trust fund earnings, based on current requirements.

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 additional  environmental  compliance requirements
could have a material  adverse effect on the Company's  results of operations or
financial  condition,  but the  Company  is unable to  predict  any such  future
requirements.  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.

     Industrial  Environmental  Services  revenues  increased as compared to the
1996  second  quarter  due to strong  production  at most of our steel  industry
customer sites.  The Company's May 1996  acquisition of Alexander Mill Services,
Inc.  contributed  $2.7  million to revenues in the current  quarter as compared
with $1.3 million in the prior year. These revenue improvements more than offset
revenue  reductions  resulting  from an ongoing  strike  (which  was  settled in
mid-August) by a major steel industry  customer's  employees that started in the
1996 fourth  quarter,  the  rearrangement  of  production  facilities  due to an
ownership  change at another  customer's  steel mill, and the mid-1996 loss of a
steel  industry  customer that  accounted for $2 million of revenues in the 1996
second quarter.  Treatment & Disposal Services revenues increased  significantly
in the 1997  second  quarter  as  compared  to the 1996  quarter  due to a sharp
increase in the volumes of electric arc furnace dust (a hazardous waste produced
by steel  mini-mills)  stabilized  at the  Company's  Ohio and  Idaho  treatment
facilities.

     Industrial  Environmental  Services gross profit decreased primarily due to
the strike,  the  temporary  impact of the ownership  change and the  difference
between the gross profit from the Alexander  Mill  Services  sites and the prior
year gross  profit  from the  customer  that was lost in  mid-1996.  Treatment &
Disposal  Services  gross profit  increased  due to the increase in electric arc
furnace dust disposal volumes.
<PAGE>

     Selling,  general and administrative  expenses increased as compared to the
1996 second quarter,  primarily because cost savings realized as a result of the
1996 reorganization  (discussed in the next paragraph) were largely offset by an
increase  in legal  fees and  expenses,  which are  expected  to  decline in the
future.

     The unusual charge of $1.2 million in the second quarter of 1996 relates to
the Company's 1996 headquarters reorganization. (See Note B for a description.)

     Total interest  expense was $.6 million lower in the second quarter of 1997
as compared to 1996 due to lower debt levels.  In the first quarter of 1997, the
Company paid down $56 million of debt with proceeds from the sale of its IMSAMET
subsidiary.  Interest expense in the 1997 statement of operations is $.2 million
higher than in the prior year because $.8 million of 1996  interest  expense has
been allocated to discontinued operations.

     Current  income  tax  expense  includes  state and  Canadian  income  taxes
payable.  During the 1997  second  quarter,  the Company  revised its  estimated
income tax rate for the year,  which  increased the deferred tax benefit for the
quarter by $383,000.  During the 1996 second  quarter,  the Company  revised its
estimated income tax rate for the year, which decreased the deferred tax benefit
for the quarter by $259,000.

     The  Company  sold its IMSAMET  subsidiary  in January  1997.  Accordingly,
IMSAMET's 1996 results have been classified as discontinued operations.

     Due to the factors  described above, 1997 net income was $7,000 as compared
with the 1996 net loss of $.5 million.

     There was virtually no Class G preferred stock dividend requirement in 1996
because almost all of the Class G stock was retired in the first quarter of that
year.

     Industrial  Environmental  Services revenues in the first half of 1997 were
comparable  to the same  period in 1996.  Most  steel  industry  customer  sites
reported strong production. Alexander Mill Services, Inc., acquired in May 1996,
contributed $5.1 million to revenues in the first six months as compared to $1.3
million in the prior year.  However,  as outlined in the three month discussion,
these revenue increases were largely offset by revenue reductions resulting from
a strike (which was settled in mid-August) by a major steel industry  customer's
employees,  another customer's  rearrangement of production facilities due to an
ownership  change,  and the  mid-1996  loss of a steel  industry  customer  that
accounted  for $4.2  million of revenues in the first half of 1996.  Treatment &
Disposal  Services revenues  increased  significantly in the first six months of
1997 as  compared  to the same  period  in 1996 due to a sharp  increase  in the
volumes of electric arc furnace dust  stabilized at the Company's Ohio and Idaho
treatment facilities.

     Industrial  Environmental  Services gross profit  decreased for the reasons
outlined in the three month  discussion.  Treatment  & Disposal  Services  gross
profit  increased  due to the  increase in electric  arc furnace  dust  disposal
volumes.

     Selling,  general and administrative  expenses increased as compared to the
first half of 1996,  primarily  because cost savings realized as a result of the
1996 reorganization  (discussed in the next paragraph) were largely offset by an
increase in legal fees and expenses, which are expected to decline in future.
<PAGE>

     Unusual  charges of $4.6  million in the first half of 1996  included  $3.7
million for the Company's  1996  headquarters  reorganization  (see Note B for a
description)  and $.9  million  to  settle  the last  disputed  matter  from the
Company's 1993 restructuring.

     Total  interest  expense was $.6 million lower in the first half of 1997 as
compared to the same period in 1996 due to lower debt levels. As outlined in the
three month discussion,  the Company paid down $56 million of debt with proceeds
from the sale of its IMSAMET  subsidiary in the first quarter of 1997.  Interest
expense in the 1997  statement of operations  is $1 million  higher than in 1996
because $1.6 million has been allocated to discontinued  operations in the prior
year.

     Current  income  tax  expense  includes  state and  Canadian  income  taxes
payable.

     The Company  sold its IMSAMET  subsidiary  in January 1997 for an after-tax
gain of $8.3 million or $.20 per share.  Accordingly,  the gain from the sale in
1997 and IMSAMET's 1996 results have been classified as discontinued operations.

     Due to the factors described above, including discontinued operations, 1997
net income was $7 million compared with the 1996 net loss of $3.1 million.

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

DEFERRED INCOME TAXES

     The  Company  has  determined  that it is more likely than not that it will
earn enough  taxable  income to realize the $17.1 million of deferred tax assets
in its balance  sheet over the next several  years.  Realization  of this amount
will require cumulative taxable earnings of approximately $49 million.  When the
consolidated  results of continuing  operations for the three most recent fiscal
years are adjusted by (1) excluding  unusual items, and (2) adding back goodwill
amortization  (which is not deductible for tax purposes),  the pre-tax earnings,
as adjusted,  total over $33 million and average $11 million  annually.  On this
basis,  the Company  would  realize  $17.1 million of deferred tax assets within
approximately  four and  one-half  years.  On the other  hand,  because  its net
operating loss carryforwards expire well into the future, the Company would also
realize $17.1 million of deferred tax assets if, counting only profitable years,
it earns $49 million of taxable  income during the fifteen year period ending in
2012, so long as the  cumulative  amount of such  earnings  reaches at least $16
million by 2005,  $27 million by 2006, $36 million by 2008, $45 million by 2009,
and $48 million by 2010.

     In making its  determination  that it is more  likely than not that it will
earn enough  taxable income to realize $17.1 million of net deferred tax assets,
the Company considered (1) its cumulative consolidated results of operations for
the three most  recent  fiscal  years and the first six months of 1997,  (2) the
reduction in interest  expense  obtained by applying the IMSAMET net proceeds to
reduce debt, (3) ongoing cost savings achieved with its 1996 reorganization, and
(4) profit  improvements from treating increased volumes of electric arc furnace
dust with its proprietary Super Detox technology. Factors which could negatively
affect  this  determination  would  include  (1)  loss  of a major  customer  or
customers,  (2) prolonged work stoppages at major customers, (3) a major decline
in United States steel industry  production,  and (4) a material decrease in the
level of  electric  arc  furnace  dust  currently  treated  with  the  Company's
proprietary Super Detox technology.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's  liquidity  requirements  arise primarily from the funding of
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.

     The  Company  expects  1997  capital  expenditures  of $25 to $30  million,
primarily for equipment  replacements,  new services,  development of additional
landfill capacity and improvements to waste treatment  facilities.  Through June
30, 1997, the Company spent $14.7 million for capital additions and is committed
for an additional $8.9 million, some of which will not be spent until 1998.

     Treatment & Disposal  Services' landfill permits require it to fund closure
and post-closure  monitoring and maintenance  obligations by making  essentially
non-refundable  trust  fund  payments.  Based on  current  regulations,  planned
improvements to waste treatment facilities and permitted capacity, such payments
are expected to be approximately  $1.7 million in 1997 and $2.7 million in 1998,
including  the  reinvestment  of Idaho  trust  fund  earnings  that the  Company
includes in interest  income.  Thereafter,  such  payments  are not  expected to
exceed the reinvestment of trust fund earnings, based on current requirements.

     The  consolidated  balance sheet reflects  negative  working capital of $.4
million  at June 30,  1997,  including  a $1.3  million  accrued  liability  for
estimated  reorganization and restructuring costs.  Scheduled debt repayments in
the last half of 1997 total $2.1 million.

     Upon the sale of IMSAMET,  the Company applied the net proceeds to pay down
bank borrowings,  and also reduced the amount of its bank credit facility to $65
million of revolving credit borrowing and letter of credit capacity.  As of June
30, 1997,  revolving credit borrowings  amounted to $44 million and $6.6 million
of standby letters of credit were outstanding.  The bank facility was amended to
accommodate  the sale of IMSAMET  and to change  the  financial  covenants  that
require the Company to meet certain  financial  ratios and tests during 1997 and
1998.  Although improved operating results will be required during the remainder
of  1997,  the  Company  believes  that it will  be able to meet  its  financial
covenant  requirements.  To remain in compliance  beyond 1998,  the Company will
most likely need to obtain further  adjustments to the required financial ratios
and tests throughout the remaining term of the facility.  The $65 million amount
of the credit  facility  declines by 12.5% in each of January  1999 and 2000 and
the credit facility terminates in January 2001.

     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.

     Subsequent to June 30, 1997 the Company used  approximately $7.3 million of
its cash on hand to pay obligations,  including resolution of a disputed matter,
related to the 1988 acquisition of IU International Corporation.

     Because its businesses are  environmentally-oriented,  and therefore highly
regulated,  the  Company  is  subject to  violations  alleged  by  environmental
regulators and, occasionally, fines. Such violations and fines have not had, and
are not expected to have, a material  impact on the  Company's  business.  It is
possible  that the future  imposition  of  additional  environmental  compliance
requirements  could have a material  adverse effect on the Company's  results of
operations or financial condition, but the Company is unable to predict any such
future requirements.
