                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  (Unaudited)

Note 1 - Consolidation and General

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Watkins Contracting, Inc. ("WCI") (since
its acquisition by the Company on October 21, 1997) and Oak Hill Sportswear
Holding Corporation, which was inactive. Certain previously reported amounts
have been reclassified to conform to the 1998 presentation. The accompanying
financial statements have been prepared without audit and do not include all
footnotes and disclosures required under generally accepted accounting
principles. Management believes that the results herein reflect all
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state
the results and current financial condition of the Company for the respective
periods. All such adjustments reflected herein are of a normal, recurring
nature. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's financial statements contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for
its year ended December 31, 1997.


Note 2 - Acquisition and Consolidated Condensed Pro Forma Financial
         Information

     On October 21, 1997, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the
outstanding shares of WCI, a privately-owned, San Diego-based environmental
remediation contractor. Founded in 1991, WCI provides asbestos abatement,
hazardous materials and soil remediation, and demolition services, primarily
in California, to commercial and governmental clients. The total consideration
consisted of (a) $3,600,000 in cash, using cash on hand, (b) 400,000 shares of
restricted REXX Environmental Corporation common stock and (c) rights
entitling the former owners of WCI to sell up to 50,000 shares per quarter of
the common stock back to the Company starting in April, 1999, at $5.00 per
share if WCI earns in excess of $2,700,000 pretax income during 1998, and to
sell up to an additional 50,000 shares per quarter back to the Company
starting in April, 2000, at $5.00 per share if WCI earns in excess of
$2,700,000 pretax income during 1999. The acquisition was accounted for using
the purchase method of accounting. Acquisition costs in excess of the fair
value of net tangible assets acquired amounted to approximately $3,166,000,
representing goodwill.

     The purchase price has been allocated to the assets purchased and
liabilities assumed based upon the fair values on the date of acquisition, as
follows:

              Working capital                   $  685,000
              Property and equipment             1,204,000
              Other assets                          61,000
              Goodwill                           3,166,000
              Other liabilities                (   683,000)
                                                ----------

Note 3 - Net income (loss) per share:

     In 1997, The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 128 ("FAS 128"), Earnings per Share. FAS 128 prescribes that companies
present basic and diluted earnings per share amounts, as defined, on the face
of the statement of operations. Net income (loss) per share is based on the
weighted average number of shares outstanding. The number of shares used in
the computations for basic and diluted net income per share for the first
quarter ended March 31, 1998 were 2,467,576 and 2,533,151, respectively, and
for the first quarter of 1997 were 2,057,576 for both computations.

     Net income (loss) used in the computation of basic and diluted net income
(loss) per share is not affected by the assumed issuance of stock under the
Company's stock option plan and is therefore the same for both calculations.

     Options to purchase 254,000 shares at prices ranging from $2.00 to $5.00
per share were outstanding at March 31, 1998. The dilutive impact of such
options is the addition of 65,575 shares to weighted average diluted shares
outstanding for the first quarter of 1998 and less than $0.01 decrease in
earnings per share. Options to purchase 184,000 shares at prices ranging from
$2.00 to $4.25 per share were outstanding at March 31, 1997, but were not
included in the computation of diluted net income per share because the
options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the
common shares in the first quarter of 1997.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Liquidity and capital resources:

        Working capital at March 31, 1998 amounted to $1,693,000 compared to
$1,469,000 at December 31, 1997, an increase of $224,000 primarily due to the
net income for the period.

    Net accounts receivable were $2,996,000 at March 31, 1998 as compared to
$2,353,000 at December 31, 1997, an increase of $643,000. The increase was due
to higher revenues in the first quarter of 1998 compared to the fourth quarter
of 1997.

    Management believes that the Company's cash and cash equivalents at March
31, 1998, in addition to WCI's working capital line of credit and equipment
line of credit, obtained in February 1998, and the Company's cash flow from
operations, will provide it with all the funds necessary for its working
capital and capital expenditures.

    The Company intends to pursue potential acquisitions in its industry. As
of March 31, 1998, no commitments had been made and no material expenditures
had been incurred in connection with any such potential acquisition. There is
no assurance that the Company will complete any such potential acquisition. In
the event the Company completes an acquisition, it may require additional
capital for the consummation of the acquisition and/or the additional working
capital needs of an acquired business.

Results of operations:

     Revenues in 1998 consisted principally of WCI's contract revenues.
Revenues in 1997 consisted solely of consulting income. Revenues in the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 were $4,203,000. Consulting income, which arose
from the Company's agreement with a purchaser of its former Sportswear
Division, was $13,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 1997. The consulting
agreement expired on December 31, 1997 and was not renewed.

    Gross profit in the first quarter of 1998 amounted to $1,250,000 as
compared to $13,000 in 1997, an increase of $1,237,000. The increase is
attributable to the addition of WCI's gross profit.

    General and administrative expenses rose in the quarter ended March 31,
1998 compared to the comparable period of 1997 principally as a result of the
addition of WCI's general and administrative expenses and the growth in
expenses in connection with the Company's administrative and corporate
overhead.

    Interest (expense) income - net changed to an expense of $8,000 in the
first quarter of 1998 from income of $55,000 in the first quarter of 1997, a
reduction of $63,000. The decrease was attributable to the Company's net
borrowing position in 1998 due to WCI's working capital and equipment lines of
credit, compared to the Company's net cash position in 1997.




                                    Page 8


<PAGE>





    Amortization of goodwill and other income did not exist in the first
quarter of 1997. In 1998, they were attributable to the acquisition of WCI,
which was accounted for as a purchase.

    Provision for income taxes grew to $22,000 in the quarter ended March 31,
1998 from $5,000 in the comparable period of 1997, an increase of $17,000. The
increase was due to the Company's new status as a taxpayer in California. In
both periods, the Company recorded no provision for federal income taxes as
the Company has a net operating loss carryforward. State income taxes for
states other than California represents franchise taxes in both years.

Forward looking information:

    The statements contained herein may contain forward looking statements
relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business
prospects, acquisition strategy, growth and similar matters. The Private
Securities Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward looking
statements. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the Company
notes that a variety of factors could cause the Company's actual results to
differ materially from the anticipated results expressed in the Company's
forward looking statements such as intensified competition and its impact on
revenues and profit margins, the availability of capital for growth and
potential acquisitions, the availability of suitable acquisitions on terms
management deems acceptable and other items described in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.
