        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)



                                                                               
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
nine month period ended September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the
results  that may be  expected  for the  year  ending  December  31,  1998.  The
condensed  consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1997 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, 1997.

Earnings Per Share: Basic and diluted earnings per share amounts are the same in
- ------------------
1998 and 1997 because there is no dilution when there is a loss from  continuing
operations.

In June 1998 the Company  completed a 1-for-7  reverse  stock split.  Numbers of
shares and per share amounts have been restated for all periods presented.

Comprehensive  Income: As of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement 130,
- ---------------------
Reporting  Comprehensive  Income.  Statement 130  establishes  new rules for the
reporting and display of comprehensive  income and its components.  The adoption
of this  Statement had no impact on the  Company's  net income or  stockholders'
equity.

The  components  of  comprehensive  income for the three and nine month  periods
ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 are as follows:

NOTE B - UNUSUAL CHARGES

The Company initiated a profit improvement program in the first quarter of 1998.
Costs  incurred  during the three month period ended  September 30, 1998 totaled
$.5 million and consist primarily of program consulting fees and expenses. Costs
incurred  during the nine month  period  ended  September  30, 1998 totaled $4.4
million and consist of $2.3  million to write down excess  equipment  to its net
realizable value,  $1.6 million of program  consulting fees and expenses and $.5
million of employee  severance.  The 1997 unusual charge of $.5 million provided
for the costs to vacate an office.

NOTE C - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

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.  In the 1997 third quarter,  a purchase price adjustment  increased the
pre-tax  gain by $2 million for a total  pre-tax  gain of $21.6  million.  After
deferred income tax charges,  the 1997 gain amounted to $1.3 million or $.22 per
share in the  quarter  and $9.6  million  or $1.66 per share for the nine  month
period.  The  proceeds  from  the  sale  were  used to  repay  revolving  credit
borrowings and expenses related to the transaction.

NOTE D - OTHER INFORMATION

As of  September  30, 1998,  $5.7  million of standby  letters of credit and $11
million of revolving credit  borrowings were outstanding under the Company's $50
million bank credit facility.

During the nine  months  ended  September  30, 1998 and 1997,  the Company  paid
interest of $14.6 million and $15 million.

Current income tax expense  consists of state and foreign  income taxes.  During
the nine months ended  September 30, 1998 and 1997, the Company made cash income
tax payments, net of refunds, of $1 million and $.9 million.

NOTE E - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As of September  30, 1998,  the Company is committed to spend $9 million for new
operating  sites,  equipment  additions  and  improvements  to  waste  treatment
facilities. Not all of that amount will be spent this year.

At September 30, 1998, the Company was  contingently  liable for $5.7 million of
letters of credit  outstanding under its bank credit  agreement,  including $3.9
million that secure liabilities already reflected in the condensed  consolidated
balance sheet.

        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE E -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)

The Company must maintain closure trust funds to secure its obligations to close
its landfills and perform  post-closure  monitoring and maintenance  procedures.
Based on current regulations, planned improvements to waste treatment facilities
and permitted capacity, payments into trust funds are not expected to exceed the
reinvestment of Idaho trust fund earnings that the Company  includes in interest
income.

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.

</TABLE>

         IMS quarterly revenues  increased  primarily because 1997 third quarter
revenues were reduced by the effects of a strike (settled in mid-August 1997) by
a major steel industry customer's employees. The  revenue increase was partially
offset by a revenue decrease attributable to an overall steel industry slowdown.
Technologies  revenues  decreased in the 1998 quarter as compared to 1997. While
the volume of waste processed increased over the prior year, average prices were
lower in 1998  because  much of the volume  increase  was  lower-priced  cleanup
project business and because the market is very competitive.

         IMS gross profit  increased due to settlement of the strike and to cost
reductions   resulting   from  the   Company's   profit   improvement   program.
Technologies'  gross profit  decreased  due to processing  lower-priced  cleanup
project business and market conditions noted above.

<PAGE>

         Selling,  general and administrative  expenses decreased as compared to
the 1997 third  quarter.  The  decrease  was  primarily  due to cost  reductions
resulting from the Company's profit improvement program and a reduction in legal
fees and expenses  attributable  to the  litigation  between the Company and its
largest competitor in the electric arc furnace dust processing market, which was
finally concluded in the 1998 first quarter.

         The Company initiated a profit improvement program in the first quarter
of 1998. Unusual charges for the 1998 third quarter totaling $.5 million consist
primarily of program consulting fees and expenses.

         Interest expense for the period increased as the overall debt level was
higher in 1998.

         Current income tax expense  includes  state and Canadian  income taxes.
Deferred  federal  income tax expense of $3 million in 1998 and $2.1  million in
1997  (contributing  $.51 per share to the  quarterly  loss in 1998 and $.36 per
share to the quarterly loss from continuing  operations in 1997) was recorded to
eliminate  the  benefit   recognized  in  the  first  six  months  of  1998  and
significantly reduce the benefit recognized in the first six months of 1997, due
to lower expected earnings in each year.

         The Company sold its IMSAMET  subsidiary  in January  1997. In the 1997
third  quarter,  a purchase  price  adjustment  increased the pre-tax gain by $2
million.  After a deferred  income tax charge,  the additional  gain amounted to
$1.3 million or $.22  per share. The  gain  from  the  sale  in  1997  has  been
classified as discontinued operations.

         Due to the factors  described  above,  the net loss was $4.3 million as
compared with $2.6 million in 1997.

</TABLE>

IMS revenues  increased as compared to the same period of 1997.  The majority of
the  increase was due to the absence of the 1997 strike  (settled in  mid-August
1997) by a major steel  industry  customer's  employees.  Technologies  revenues
increased  in the nine month  period of 1998 as  compared  to the same period of
1997. The increase is attributable to processing  larger volumes of electric arc
furnace dust (a hazardous  waste produced by steel  mini-mills) and an unusually
large cleanup project in the second quarter.

         IMS gross  profit  increased as compared to the same period of 1997 due
to the absence of the customer's  strike noted above and to the Company's profit
improvement  program.  However,  these improvements were partially offset by the
negative  effects of blast furnace  outages at the segment's  largest  customer,
changes  in  manufacturing   practices  at  several   important   customers  and
significant costs to repair equipment at a major customer.  Technologies'  gross
profit  increased  modestly  because  a major  share  of that  segment's  volume
increase was lower-priced cleanup project business.

         Selling,  general and administrative expenses for the nine month period
of 1998  decreased  as  compared to the same period of 1997.  The  decrease  was
primarily  due to a reduction  in legal fees and  expenses  attributable  to the
litigation  between the Company and its largest  competitor  in the electric arc
furnace dust processing  market,  which was finally  concluded in the 1998 first
quarter,  and cost reductions  resulting from the Company's  profit  improvement
program.

         The Company initiated a profit improvement program in the first quarter
of 1998.  Unusual  charges  for the nine  month  period of 1998  consist of $4.4
million of costs  associated with this program,  including $2.3 million to write
down excess  equipment  to its net  realizable  value,  $1.6  million of program
consulting  fees and  expenses and $.5 million of employee  severance.  The 1997
unusual charge provided for the costs to vacate an office.

         Interest  expense for the nine month  period of 1998  increased  as the
overall  debt level was higher in 1998.  While the  Company  paid down debt with
proceeds  from  the sale of its  IMSAMET  subsidiary  early  in the  1997  first
quarter,  in September  1997 the Company issued $50 million of additional 9 3/4%
Senior Notes due 2003.

         Current income tax expense includes state and Canadian income taxes.

         In 1997 the Company sold its IMSAMET  subsidiary for an after-tax  gain
of $9.6 million or $1.66 per share.  The gain from the sale  in  1997  has  been
classified as discontinued operations.

         Due to the factors  described above, the 1998 net loss was $6.7 million
as compared with 1997 net income of $4.4 million.

DEFERRED INCOME TAXES

         The Company has determined that it is more likely than not that it will
earn enough  taxable  income to realize the $15.3 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 $44 million.  When the
consolidated  results of continuing  operations  for the four most recent fiscal
years and current nine month period 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 approximately $33 million
and average $7 million annually.  On this basis, the Company would realize $15.3
million of deferred  tax assets  within  approximately  six years.  On the other
hand, because its net operating loss carryforwards  expire well into the future,
the Company would also realize $15.3 million of deferred tax assets if, counting
only profitable  years, it earns $44 million of taxable income during the period
ending in 2012, so long as the  cumulative  amount of such  earnings  reaches at
least $11 million by 2005, $22 million by 2006, $31 million by 2008, $40 million
by 2009 and $43 million by 2010.

         In making its  determination  that it is more  likely  than not that it
will earn enough  taxable  income to realize  $15.3  million of net deferred tax
assets,  the  Company  considered  (1) its  cumulative  consolidated  results of
operations  for the four most recent  fiscal  years and the first nine months of
1998,  (2) ongoing  cost  savings  achieved  with its 1996  reorganization,  (3)
additional  cost savings  anticipated  from a  Company-wide  profit  improvement
program commenced in 1998, and (4) profit  improvements from treating  increased
volumes  of  electric  arc  furnace  dust with its  proprietary  Super  Detox(R)
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(R) technology.
The  recoverability  of the deferred tax assets will be reevaluated at year-end,
taking into  consideration the overall outlook for steel industry  production as
well as other factors.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's  liquidity  requirements arise primarily from the funding
of capital expenditures, the Technologies segment's 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 1998 capital  expenditures  of  approximately  $35
million,  primarily for new IMS operating  sites,  equipment  replacements,  new
services,  development of additional landfill capacity and improvements to waste
treatment  facilities.  Through  September  30,  1998,  the Company  spent $28.5
million for capital additions and is committed for an additional $9 million, not
all of which will be spent this year.
<PAGE>

         Technologies'  landfill permits require the Company to fund closure and
post-closure  monitoring and maintenance  obligations by maintaining essentially
non-refundable trust funds. Based on current  regulations,  planned improvements
to waste treatment facilities and permitted capacity,  payments into trust funds
are not expected to exceed the  reinvestment  of Idaho trust fund  earnings that
the Company includes in interest income.

         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 violations and fines have not had, and
are not expected to have, a material  adverse 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.

YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE

         The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer  programs  being  written
using two digits rather than four to define applicable years.  Computer programs
that have  date-sensitive  software may  recognize a date coded "00" as the year
1900  rather  than the year  2000.  This  could  result  in system  failures  or
miscalculations that could cause disruptions of operations,  including temporary
inability to process transactions.

         The Company has  completed an  assessment  of its computer  information
systems.  In the normal  course of  business,  the  Company  has  purchased  new
software  packages for most of its computer systems and is currently  purchasing
and  implementing new software for the rest. By early 1999, all of the Company's
software will either be designed or upgraded,  through routine software releases
from reliable software suppliers,  to accommodate the Year 2000 transition.  The
Company has not incurred and does not anticipate incurring incremental costs for
Year 2000 issues relating to its computer  information systems since all updates
or  replacements  of such systems shall have occurred in the ordinary  course of
business.


<PAGE>

         The  Company is  currently  assessing  its  non-information  technology
systems,  including  telecommunications  and  embedded  systems.  Many of  these
systems will be upgraded in the ordinary  course of business,  prior to December
31,  1999,  and such  upgrades are expected to  accommodate  the Year 2000.  The
remaining  non-information  technology  systems  will be upgraded or replaced as
necessary to be Year 2000 compliant by December 31, 1999. Currently, the Company
cannot estimate the costs of compliance for  non-information  technology systems
that would not  otherwise  be replaced or  upgraded  in the  ordinary  course of
business.

         The  Company  is  also  addressing  the  Year  2000  activities  of its
suppliers and customers.  The Company intends to contact  significant  suppliers
and customers to determine if they are Year 2000 compliant, and if they are not,
to ask when they will be compliant.  This information will be used to assess the
extent  of  interruption  that  could  occur in the  Company's  operations  if a
supplier or customer were non-compliant.  There can be no guarantee that failure
to address  Year 2000 issues by a third party would not have a material  adverse
effect on the Company.  However,  the Company  believes that its  communications
with its suppliers and customers will minimize these risks.

         The Company's Year 2000 program is based on management's best estimates
of the Company's requirements. However, there can be no guarantee of the success
of the Company's  Year 2000 program and actual  results could differ  materially
from the  Company's  plans.  Factors  that could impact  implementation  of this
program include,  but are not limited to, the availability of trained personnel,
the ability to identify and correct all affected  applications,  and the failure
of third parties on which the Company relies to resolve their Year 2000 issues.

         To date, the Company has not made any contingency plans to address Year
2000 risks.  Contingency  plans will be developed if it appears that the Company
or its  significant  suppliers or customers  will not be Year 2000 compliant and
such  noncompliance  can be  expected to have a material  adverse  impact on the
Company's operations.

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT

         Some of the  statements  in  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of
Financial  Condition and Results of Operations are  forward-looking  statements.
These  statements  are based on current  expectations  that  involve a number of
risks and  uncertainties  which could cause actual results to differ  materially
from  those  projected.  These  forward-looking  statements  should  be  read in
conjunction  with the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1997 and the financial  statements  contained therein which include
information  describing  factors  that  could  cause  actual  results  to differ
materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements.
