        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited,  and
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles
for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation
have been included.  Quarterly operating results are not necessarily  indicative
of the results that may be expected for the year ending  December 31, 1999.  The
condensed  consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1998 has been derived from
audited financial statements at that date. Quarterly financial statements should
be read in  conjunction  with the  consolidated  financial  statements and notes
thereto  included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1998, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

NOTE C -- UNUSUAL CHARGES

The Company initiated in the first quarter of 1998 a profit improvement program.
Costs for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 (incurred entirely during the
1999 first quarter) totaled $3 million and consisted of $2.3 million of employee
severance  and $.7  million  of  program  consulting  fees and  expenses.  Costs
incurred  during the nine months ended  September  30, 1998,  most of which were
incurred during the 1998 second  quarter,  totaled $4.4 million and consisted of
$2.3 million related to excess equipment, $1.6 million of program consulting and
$.5 million of severance.

NOTE D -- SEGMENT DISCLOSURE

Operating  information for the Company's  reportable  segments for the three-and
nine-month  periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 can be found in the tables
on  pages  7 and 8 of  this  Report.  At  September  30,  1999,  there  were  no
significant changes in identifiable assets of the Company's  reportable segments
from the amounts  disclosed at December 31, 1998,  nor were there any changes in
the basis of segmentation or in the measurement of segment operating results.

        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


NOTE E -- OTHER INFORMATION

The Company  currently has a $43.8 million bank credit facility that declines to
$38.3 million by January 2000, and declines further in subsequent  periods until
its termination in January 2001. At September 30, 1999, $2 million of borrowings
were  outstanding,  an  additional  $5.7 million was  dedicated to cover standby
letters of credit,  and the  remaining  $36.1  million of the  revolving  credit
facility was unused and available.

Third quarter 1998  operating  results  include a charge  totaling $3 million to
reverse certain deferred tax benefits previously  recognized by the Company. The
reversal was made when  management  determined  that the Company  might not earn
sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax benefits.


NOTE F -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is required to  maintain  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,  such trust funds are adequately
funded and currently  require only the reinvestment of Idaho trust fund earnings
that the Company includes in interest income. In the nine months ended September
30, 1999,  the Company  recovered from the Idaho trust fund $790,000 that was in
excess of 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 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.  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 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.

At September  30,  1999,  the Company is  committed  to spend  approximately  $7
million for capital  equipment,  part of which may be spent after  December  31,
1999.

</TABLE>

         Consolidated  revenue  in the  third  quarter  of 1999  decreased  3.7%
compared with the same quarter of 1998. Both of the Company's operating segments
reported  lower  revenues in the 1999 third  quarter.  The IMS  segment  revenue
decrease was primarily due to the loss of a steel industry customer in late 1998
that had  contributed  $2.2  million of revenue to the 1998 third  quarter.  The
Technologies  segment revenue  decrease was due primarily to a change in the mix
of waste processed. Although the volume of waste processed increased in the 1999
third quarter compared with the same quarter of 1998, a higher proportion of the
material was lower-priced cleanup business.

         Consolidated  gross  profit  for the third  quarter  of 1999  decreased
compared with the same quarter of 1998.  The IMS  segment's  gross profit in the
1999 third quarter decreased from the same quarter a year ago, mostly due to the
lower revenue. The Technologies  segment's gross profit for the third quarter of
1999 was essentially unchanged from the 1998 third quarter.

          Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  for the  1999  third
quarter  were 4.4% lower than the same quarter of 1998,  reflecting  benefits of
the 1998 profit improvement program.

         Included  in the 1998 third  quarter  operating  results  were  unusual
charges related to the profit  improvement  program totaling $.5 million,  which
consisted of program consulting fees and expenses. There were no unusual charges
recorded in the 1999 third quarter.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

         Interest expense for the third quarter of 1999 decreased  somewhat from
the same quarter of 1998.  Higher  interest  rates during the 1999 third quarter
were more than offset by  reductions  in average  outstanding  borrowings on the
Company's revolving credit facility.

         In the 1998 third  quarter  the Company  recorded a charge  totaling $3
million to reverse previously  recorded deferred tax benefits.  The reversal was
made when  management  determined  that the  Company  might not earn  sufficient
taxable income to realize the deferred tax benefits.

         As a result of all the items discussed  above,  the Company  recorded a
net loss for the third quarter of 1999 which was $2.6 million less than the 1998
third quarter net loss of $4.3 million.

</TABLE>

         Consolidated  revenue  for the  first  nine  months  of 1999  decreased
compared with the same period of 1998.  Both operating  segments  reported lower
revenues in the 1999 period.  Revenues of the IMS segment decreased in part from
the loss of a steel  industry  customer in late 1998 that had  contributed  $7.1
million of revenue to the 1998  nine-month  period.  Lower steel  production  in
North America by the Company's  ongoing steel mill customers also contributed to
the decrease.  Technologies  segment  revenues for the first nine months of 1999
decreased  significantly,  due in part to an overall  reduction in the volume of
waste  processed.  Technologies'  revenues  were also  negatively  affected by a
change in the mix of material processed,  as a higher proportion of material was
lower-priced  cleanup  business,   and  by  overall  competition  in  the  waste
processing markets.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

         Consolidated  gross  profit  during  the  first  nine  months  of  1999
decreased from the same period a year ago. The IMS gross profit decrease was due
to the revenue decrease discussed above. The Technologies  segment experienced a
gross  loss  for the  first  nine  months  of 1999,  due in part to the  revenue
decline,  and partly to  proportionally  higher  fixed  costs as a result of the
volume decrease.

          Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first nine months
of 1999 did not significantly change from the same period of 1998.

         Unusual  charges of the profit  improvement  program  initiated in 1998
totaled $3 million for the first nine months of 1999, and were incurred entirely
during the first quarter of the year. The charges  consisted of $2.3 million for
employee severance and $.7 million of program consulting fees and expenses.  For
the first nine months of 1998, such charges totaled $4.4 million,  and consisted
of $2.3 million of excess equipment write-downs, $1.6 million of consulting fees
and expenses, and $.5 million of severance costs.

         Interest   expense   for  the  first  nine   months  of  1999  did  not
significantly change from the same period of 1998.

          Due to all the  factors  described  above,  the net loss for the first
nine months of 1999 was $7.1  million  higher than the net loss  recorded in the
first nine months of 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's  liquidity  requirements arise primarily from the funding
of capital expenditures,  working capital needs and debt service obligations. At
September 30, 1999, the Company had negative  working  capital of $11.4 million,
compared with negative  working capital of $.4 million at December 31, 1998. The
reduction was primarily due to an increase in accrued  interest on the Company's
Senior Notes paid semiannually, and an increase in payables.

         The   Company's   capital   additions   are   primarily  for  equipment
replacements  and  providing  new  services,  and are not expected to exceed $20
million for all of 1999.  Through  September  30, 1999,  the Company spent $12.5
million for capital  additions and had  commitments  to spend  approximately  $7
million more, part of which may be expended after year-end 1999.

         Technologies'  landfill permits require the Company to fund closure and
post-closure  monitoring and maintenance obligations by maintaining trust funds,
or  other  financial   assurances.   Based  on  current   regulations,   planned
improvements to waste treatment  facilities and permitted  capacity,  such trust
funds are adequately funded.

         At September 30, 1999,  the Company had $36.1 million  available  under
its current $43.8 million bank credit facility.  During the first nine months of
1999,  the Company made net  repayments  totaling  $20 million on the  facility,
compared  with net  borrowings  of $3 million  during  the same  period of 1998.
Management intends to continue using cash flow from operations to further reduce
its outstanding borrowings.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)

         As  of  mid-November  1999,  management  has  substantially   completed
negotiations  to obtain a new bank credit  facility to replace the existing one.
It is intended  that the new  agreement  would  provide the Company with funding
into the year  2003.  Once the new  agreement  becomes  effective,  the  Company
expects to write-off,  with no  anticipated  tax benefit,  debt  issuance  costs
related to the previous  revolving  credit  facility.  Such issuance  costs were
approximately  $1  million  at  September  30,  1999.  Cash on hand,  funds from
operations,  and borrowing  capacity under the current bank credit facility,  or
any subsequent facility,  are expected to be sufficient to satisfy the Company's
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  impact on the  Company's  business.  It is
possible  that the future  imposition  of  additional  environmental  compliance
requirements could have a material 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.  The  Company  has also
implemented Year  2000-compliant  upgrades to its core financial and operational
software.  Most of the  Company's  other  software  has been  upgraded,  through
routine software releases from reliable software  suppliers,  to accommodate the
Year  2000  transition.   All  of  the  remaining   software   applications  are
insignificant  to the Company's  operations  and any such software  applications
that require  upgrades to accommodate the Year 2000 transition will receive such
upgrades prior to the end of 1999.

         The Company has not incurred and does not anticipate incurring material
incremental  costs for Year 2000  issues  relating to its  computer  information
systems since all updates or  replacements of such systems to date have occurred
in the ordinary course of business.

         The Company  has also  substantially  completed  an  assessment  of its
non-information  technology systems,  including  telecommunications and embedded
systems.  The Company has identified  certain  non-core systems that, in current
operating form, may not accommodate the Year 2000 transition. These systems, and
any  others  identified  as  possibly  not being  Year 2000  compliant,  will be
upgraded  or  replaced  prior  to  December  31,  1999,  and  such  upgrades  or
replacements are expected to accommodate the Year 2000 transition.  The costs of
compliance for  non-information  technology  systems that would not otherwise be
replaced or upgraded in the ordinary course of business were  insignificant  for
the nine months ended  September  30, 1999,  and are not expected to be material
through year-end 1999.

YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE (CONTINUED)

         The  Company  is  also  addressing  the  Year  2000  activities  of its
suppliers and customers. The Company has contacted its significant suppliers and
customers,   either   directly  or  by  reviewing   their  Year  2000  Readiness
Disclosures,  to determine if they are Year 2000 compliant, and if they are not,
to inquire when such compliance is expected to occur.  This  information is used
to  assess  the  extent  of  interruption  that  could  occur  in the  Company's
operations  if a supplier or customer  were  non-compliant.  The Company has not
received  information  from  any  of  its  significant  suppliers  or  customers
regarding Year 2000 readiness that would indicate the  possibility of a material
interruption of the Company's operations. 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  continuing
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.

         The Company is preparing  contingency  plans to address Year 2000 risks
for its most critical  applications,  though to date the Company is not aware of
any  potential  Year  2000  failure  in  these  applications,  as  noted  above.
Contingency plans will be developed as needed for other,  non-core systems 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.
