                    METALCLAD CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                    For the Period Ended September 30, 1997
                                  (Unaudited)

  1.          The  accompanying  unaudited financial statements of Metalclad
  Corporation  and  its  subsidiaries  (the "Company") have been prepared in
  accordance  with  the  instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of
  the  information  and  footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
  principles   for  complete  financial  statements.    In  the  opinion  of
  management  all  adjustments  (which  consist  only  of  normal  recurring
  adjustments)  necessary  for  a  fair  presentation  have  been  included.
  Operating  results  for  the  nine months ended September 30, 1997 are not
  necessarily  indicative of what results will be for the fiscal year ending
  December  31,  1997.   These statements should be read in conjunction with
  the  consolidated  financial  statements and notes thereto included in the
  Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.

  2.        In  December  1996,  the  Company changed its fiscal year end to
  December  31  from  its previous May 31.  This 10-Q reflects the Company s
  new  quarterly  reporting  period  and  compares it to the most comparable
  period from its previous filings.

  3.        The Company, because of its operations in Mexico, is required to
  account for all foreign currency translations in accordance with Financial
  Accounting  Standards  Board  Statement No. 52.  In part, FASB 52 requires
  the  Company  to  account  for  translation  gains or losses in its Income
  Statement,  as  opposed  to  being  a direct charge against equity, if its
  foreign  operations  are  in  a  country  that  is determined to be highly
  inflationary.   In accordance with the most recent statistics published by
  the  International  Monetary Fund, the SEC has determined that Mexico must
  be  considered  highly  inflationary,  requiring a change in the Company s
  accounting  for  its  foreign  currency  translation  adjustment effective
  January  1, 1997.  Management believes that this change in accounting will
  not result in any material impact to the Company.

  4.     In May 1997, the Company completed the settlement of its litigation
  against  the  California  State  Compensation Fund for $385,000, which has
  been  paid  by  the  Company.    A  provision  for potential settlement of
  $325,000 was previously recorded in December 1996.

  5.      In late March 1997, QUIMICA OMEGA and BFI-MEXICO completed QUIMICA
  OMEGA  s  previously announced acquisition of BFI s interest in BFI-OMEGA,
  the  Mexican  joint  venture company established in April 1996.  Effective
  January  1,  1997, the Company controlled 100% of the outstanding stock of
  BFI-OMEGA  and assumed management control of its operations. The BFI-OMEGA
  j o int  venture  was  subsequently  renamed  Administracion  de  Residuos
  Industriales  (  ARI  ).  For  the  first  six months of 1997, the Company
  pursued  a  strategy  of  identifying a new partner to acquire 50% of ARI.
  Because  of  this  strategy,  the  Company maintained the equity method of


                                       6<PAGE>





  accounting  for  ARI.    In August 1997, the Board of Directors decided to
  maintain  ARI as a 100% owned subsidiary and not continue the pursuit of a
  partner.    This  decision  was  based  upon  the  increasing value of ARI
  relative  to the Company s on-going development activities.  Consequently,
  the  Company  is now consolidating ARI into its financials, effective July
  1, 1997 for its quarterly reporting.

  6.       Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements.  The Financial Accounting
  Standards  Board  (  FASB  )  has issued Statement of Financial Accounting
  Standards  (  SFAS  )  No. 128  Earnings Per Share  which is effective for
  reporting  periods  ending after December 15, 1997.  SFAS No. 128 replaces
  fully  diluted  EPS  with  diluted EPS and replaces primary EPS with basic
  EPS.    The  Company  will adopt the new standard in its reporting for the
  quarter and the year ended December 31, 1997.  Management does not believe
  that  adoption of this standard will have a significant impact on earnings
  per share.

             The FASB has also issued SFAS No. 130,  Reporting Comprehensive
  Income    which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
  1997.    SFAS  No.  130  requires  that  items  meeting  the criteria of a
  component  of  comprehensive  income, including foreign currency items and
  unrealized  gains  and  losses  on  certain investments in debt and equity
  securities  be  shown in the financial statements.  Management has not yet
  determined  the  effect  of  SFAS  No.  130  on the consolidated financial
  statements.

          The FASB has also issued SFAS No. 131,  Disclosures about Segments
  of  an Enterprise and Related Information .  This standard requires that a
  public  business  enterprise  report financial and descriptive information
  about  its reportable operating segments.  This statement is effective for
  financial  statements  for  periods beginning after December 15, 1997.  In
  the initial year of application, comparative information for earlier years
  is  required  to be restated.  Comparative information for interim periods
  is  not required until the second year of application.  Management has not
  yet  determined  the  effect,  if any, of SFAS No. 131 on the consolidated
  financial statements.

  7.          Certain  reclassifications  have  been  made  to  prior period
  consolidated  financial  statements  to  conform  with  the  current  year
  presentation.

  8.      The loss per share amounts for the nine months ended September 30,
  1997  and  the nine months ended August 31, 1996 were computed by dividing
  the  net  loss  by  the  weighted  average  shares  outstanding during the
  applicable period.

  ITEM 2.  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
           OPERATIONS

       All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in
  this   Form  10-Q,  including  without  limitation  the  statements  under
    Management  s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
  of  Operations    are, or may be deemed to be,  forward-looking statements
  within  the  meaning  of  Section  27A  of  the Securities Act of 1933, as
  amended,  and  Section  21E  of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Such
  forward-looking  statements  involve assumptions, known and unknown risks,
  uncertainties,  and  other  factors  which  may  cause the actual results,
  performance or achievements of Metalclad Corporation (the  Company ) to be
  materially  different from any future results, performance or achievements
  expressed  or implied by such forward-looking statements contained in this
  Form  10-Q.    Such  potential  risks  and  uncertainties include, without
  limitation,  the ability to commence operations at the Company s hazardous
  waste  treatment  sites  under  development, competitive pricing and other
  pressures  from  other  businesses  in  the  Company  s  markets, economic
  conditions generally and in the Company s primary markets, availability of
  capital,  cost  of  labor,  and  other risk factors detailed herein and in
  other   of  the  Company  s  filings  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange
  Commission.    The  forward-looking  statements are made as of the date of
  this  Form  10-Q  and  the  Company  assumes  no  obligation to update the
  forward-looking  statements  or to update the reasons actual results could
  d i f f er  from  those  projected  in  such  forward-looking  statements.
  Therefore,  readers  are  cautioned  not  to place undue reliance on these
  forward-looking statements.

  Results of Operations

            General.  The Company s revenues were generated primarily by (i)
  revenues  in  the  United States from insulation and remediation services;
  and (ii) revenues in Mexico from the collection of waste oils and solvents
  for recycling, rental of parts washing machines, brokering the disposal of
  waste and remediation services.  

            Since  November 1991, the Company has pursued the development of
  integrated  waste  treatment  and  disposal  facilities in several Mexican
  states.    The  Company  has  completed  construction of a hazardous waste
  landfill  in San Luis Potosi which is not yet open; all other contemplated
  projects are in the early stages of development.  The Company s results of
  operations  include  the  costs of development of all such waste treatment
  facilities in Mexico. 

       Insulation Business.  Total revenues from the insulation business for
  the  nine  months  ended September 30, 1997 were $6,408,000 as compared to
  $7,346,000  for the comparable period ended August 31, 1996, a decrease of
  13%.

         Contract revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were
  $6,046,000  as compared to $7,044,000 for the nine months ended August 31,


                                       8<PAGE>





  1996,  a  decrease  of  14%.   This decline is primarily attributed to the
  closure  of  two  unprofitable  offices  that  accounted  for  $921,000 in
  revenues for the nine months ended August 31, 1996.

           Although revenues have declined over the past several years, this
  trend  is  not  anticipated  to  continue  nor  is it anticipated that the
  decline  in revenues will lead to substantial losses from operations.  The
  Company  has  taken steps to increase revenues by its recent re-entry into
  the  commercial  insulation  market.  For the three months ended September
  30,  1997, contract revenues increased 20% as compared to the three months
  ended August 1996.

        The Company has also reduced its cost structure, closed unprofitable
  offices  and restructured the senior management of the insulation company.
  All  of  these actions are anticipated to enhance the Company s ability to
  be profitable.

            Material  sales were $160,000 for the nine months as compared to
  $218,000 for the comparable period in 1996, a decline of 27%.

         Other revenues were $202,000 for the nine months versus $84,000 for
  the  comparable  period  in  1996.    This  increase  is attributed to the
  settlement of a collection claim against a previous customer and insurance
  refunds from prior years  premiums.

            Total expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were
  $6,366,000  versus $8,342,000 for the nine months ended August 31, 1996, a
  decline of 24%.

            Contract  costs and expenses were $5,352,000 for the nine months
  versus  $6,847,000  for  the comparable period in 1996, a decrease of 22%.
  This  decrease is attributed to a) a lesser volume of work and b) the nine
  months  ended  August  31,  1996  contained  a provision for losses on two
  fixed-priced contracts. 

            Cost  of  material sales was $120,000 for the nine months versus
  $170,000 for the comparable period in 1996.  This decline is attributed to
  the lower sales volume.

         Selling, general and administrative costs for the nine months ended
  September  30,  1997  were  $894,000  versus $1,325,000 for the comparable
  period in 1996.  This decline reflects the Company s decision to close two
  o f fices  and  implement  a  cost  reduction  program  in  its  remaining
  operations.

            Waste  Management  Services.  Revenues for the nine months ended
  September  30,  1997 were $1,444,000 as compared to revenues of $1,997,000
  for  the  comparable period ended August 31, 1996, indicating a decline of
  28%.    However,  because  of the differing accounting methods between the
  periods,  comparisons cannot be accurately reflected (see Note 5).  If the
  Company  had  consolidated  the revenues of ARI for the nine month periods


                                       9<PAGE>





  ended  September  30,  1997  and August 31, 1996, revenues would have been
  $3,503,000 and $2,335,000, respectively, an increase of 50%.

            Operating costs and expenses were $2,363,000 for the nine months
  ended  September  30,  1997 versus $2,838,000 for the comparable period in
  1996.    Again,  comparisons are difficult due to the differing accounting
  methods  for  the  collection,  recycling and destruction businesses.  The
  landfill  costs  have  increased  and reflect the costs of maintaining the
  Company  s  completed,  but  not  yet opened, landfill facility as well as
  costs  associated with the continuing development activities of additional
  industrial waste landfill facilities in Mexico.

         Other income of $169,000 represents the reduction in back taxes and
  interest  due as a result of the Company qualifying for a discount under a
  new Mexican tax payment program.

      Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates was ($743,000) for the
  nine  months versus ($311,000) for the comparable period in 1996.  Because
  of  the  change in accounting, the ($743,000) loss only represents 100% of
  the  losses for the first six months of 1997 and 50% of the losses in 1996
  and  includes  ($192,000)  in  losses  associated  with  1996  operations,
  recorded  in  the  current  year,  as  identified  during  the  Company  s
  assumption  of  control of the joint venture in 1997.  The losses from the
  joint  venture  s  operations  in  1997  are  declining  and  the  Company
  anticipates  that  the  joint venture will become profitable in the fourth
  quarter of 1997.  (See Note 5.)

         Corporate Expense.  Corporate expenses were $1,918,000 for the nine
  months  ended  September  30,  1997 as compared to $2,937,000 for the nine
  months  ended August 31, 1996, a decline of 35%.  This decline in expenses
  was  achieved  while  the  Company  a)  absorbed  certain settlement costs
  associated  with the State Fund litigation, b) funded pursuit of its claim
  under  the  NAFTA related to its San Luis Potosi facility and c) continued
  its development activities in Mexico.

         Interest Expense.  Interest expense was $59,000 for the nine months
  as  compared  to  $152,000  for  the comparable period, as the Company has
  virtually eliminated most of its interest bearing obligations.

        Gain on Foreign Currency Translation.  This gain of $6,000 is due to
  the  accounting  treatment  associated  with  Mexico s highly inflationary
  economy.  (See Note 3.)  During the comparable period, this adjustment was
  made directly to the Company s equity section of its balance sheet.  It is
  not anticipated that this accounting change will have a material effect on
  the Company going forward.

  Consolidated Results

            The  Company experienced a net loss of ($3,422,000) for the nine
  months  ended September 30, 1997 as compared to a net loss of ($5,237,000)
  for  the  comparable  period ended August 31, 1996, an improvement of 35%,


                                      10<PAGE>





  while  reflecting  100%  of  the losses of ARI in 1997 versus 50% of ARI s
  losses during 1996.

  Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Working capital at September 30, 1997 was $1,254,000 as compared to
  $2,719,000  as  of  December  31,  1996.    The  Company had cash and cash
  equivalents  of $1,203,000 at September 30, 1997 as compared to $3,074,000
  at  December  31,  1996.    Cash  used  in  operations was ($2,986,000) as
  compared to ($4,453,000) for the comparable period ending August 31, 1996.

         During the three months ended September 30, 1997 the company raised
  $1,100,000  from  the  exercise  of 735,636 of its outstanding warrants at
  $1.50.    Under  the  anti-dilution provisions of certain of the Company s
  outstanding  warrants,  the adjusted exercise price is now $1.50 per share
  for  approximately  5,635,000  which previously were exercisable at prices
  ranging  from  $1.51  to  $5.00.    Additionally,  the  Company issued new
  warrants  exercisable  at  $1.50  to  those  persons  who  exercised their
  warrants during this period.

            The  Company believes that the insulation business will generate
  adequate  cash  flows  from  operations to meet its future obligations and
  expenses  relating  to  such  operations.      The  Company  will  require
  additional  financing  to construct and operate additional waste treatment
  facilities  in  Mexico  as  well as to support the continuing expansion of
  ARI  s  operations.    Furthermore,  the  Company  will  continue to incur
  additional  general, administrative and legal expenses associated with the
  pursuit of its claim under the NAFTA.  The Company is aware of its ongoing
  cash  requirements  and  has  implemented  a  cash  flow  plan,  including
  continued  reduction  in  its  general  and  administrative expenses.  The
  Company  continues  to  evaluate  the  timing  and  substance  of  various
  financing  structures.   Additionally, the Company has secured preliminary
  approval  with a federal developmental bank in Mexico for its next project
  and expects to secure said financing in the near future.

                                    PART II

                               OTHER INFORMATION

  Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

      The Company has filed a claim against the Mexican government under the
  North  American  Free  Trade  Agreement ( NAFTA ) related to the Company s
  inability  to  open  and  operate  its completed hazardous waste treatment
  facility  in  San Luis Potosi.  The claim was filed with the International
  Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes ( ICSID ) in Washington, D.C.
  on  January  13,  1997.   The Company s claim is one under the category of
    Like  unto Expropriation  wherein the Company claims, having been denied
  the  right to operate its constructed and permitted facility, its property
  has  therefore  been  expropriated. The three-member panel which will hear
  the  case  has  been  formed  and the initial hearing was held on July 15,
  1997.    On October 14, 1997 the Company filed its Memorial with the panel
  which  includes  its  claim  plus  all  evidence  supportive  of its case.
  Included  is  a  damage study indicating that the fair market value of the
  facility  is  $90,000,000.   No assurance can be given that the efforts of
  the  Company  will  be  fruitful  and there is always the possibility of a
  negotiated settlement between the parties.

          The  Company has contested an assessment by the State Compensation
  Insurance Fund ("SCIF"), which provided the Company's workers compensation
  insurance,  of  approximately  $400,000  of workers compensation insurance
  premium  for the 1990 policy year.  In December 1996, the Company received
  an  unfavorable court ruling on its position relative to certain rights of
  defense  in  its litigation against the California State Compensation Fund
  for  the  policy  year ended September 30, 1990.  In May 1997, the Company
  completed  a settlement with SCIF for $385,000 which ended the litigation.
  A  provision  for potential settlement of $325,000 was previously recorded
  in December 1996.

       In May 1997 a jury found Texaco oil refinery, a client of the Company
  55%  liable  for  injuries and damages sustained by a Metalclad Insulation
  employee  while  working at the Wilmington, California refinery.  The jury
  determined  that Texaco s portion of the damages amounted to $5.5 million.
  Under terms of the Company s contract with Texaco, certain indemnities may
  be  applied.  The Company had project specific, as well as other insurance
  policies, in effect at the time of the injury.

            It is believed that this award will be appealed and the ultimate
  outcome  cannot  be predicted, however, the Company believes its insurance
  programs are adequate to address any potential exposure.

          Given the Company s long history in the insulation business and in
  the  sale of insulation materials, it is subject to various claims related
  to  prior  asbestos related business as well as its current business.  The
  number  of  these claims is over 100, the Company believes it has adequate
  insurance  in  place  and  had  adequate  insurance  in prior years and is


                                      12<PAGE>





  vigorously  defending all claims.  The Company does not believe that these
  claims,  individually  or  in  the aggregate, will have a material adverse
  effect on its financial condition.
