                    METALCLAD CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                      For the Period Ended June 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 six months ended June 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
  periods 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 joint venture was subsequently renamed Administracion de
  Residuos Industriales ( ARI ).  The financial statements for the quarter
  ended June 30, 1997 maintain the equity method of accounting for ARI as it
  is the Company s intent to identify a new strategic partner for these
  operations going forward.  The Company s 100% ownership and control of

                                       6<PAGE>





  operations should, therefore, be viewed as temporary as the Company
  identifies potential new partners for these operations.

       6.  During fiscal 1995, the Company granted loans to two of its
  executive officers.  The term of the loans called for repayment by May 31,
  1997.  The Company has agreed to extend the repayment period of the loans
  for a period of six months, with an amended due date of November 30, 1997.

       7.  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.

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

       9.  The loss per share amounts for the six months ended June 30, 1997
  and the six months ended May 31, 1996 were computed by dividing the net
  loss by the weighted average shares outstanding during the applicable
  period.

  ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
  RESULTS OF OPERATION

       All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in
  this Form 10-Q, including without limitation the statements under

                                       7<PAGE>





   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
  differ 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 six months ended June 30, 1997 were $4,780,000 as compared to
  $5,956,000 for the comparable period ended May 31, 1996, a decrease of
  20%.

       Contract revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were
  $4,461,000 as compared to $5,725,000 for the six months ended May 31,
  1996, a decrease of 22%.  This decline is partly attributed to the closure
  of two offices which had accounted for $662,000 in revenues in the period
  ended May 31, 1996.

       Although revenues have declined over the past several years, this
  trend is not anticipated to continue nor is it anticipated that the

                                       8<PAGE>





  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 and has also reduced its cost structure
  in response to lesser revenues.  These actions are anticipated to enhance
  the Company s ability to be profitable.

       Material sales were $133,000 for the six months as compared to
  $163,000 for the comparable period in 1996, a decline of 18%.

       Other revenues were $186,000 for the six months versus $68,000 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 six months ended June 30, 1997 were $4,707,000
  versus $6,908,000 for the six months ended May 31, 1996, a decline of 32%.

       Contract costs and expenses were $3,984,000 for the six months as
  versus $5,705,000 for the comparable period in 1996, a decrease of 30%. 
  This decrease is attributed to a) a lesser volume of work and b) the six
  months ended May 31, 1996 contained a provision for losses on two fixed-
  priced contracts. 

       Cost of material sales was $104,000 for the six months versus
  $125,000 for the comparable period in 1996.  This decline is attributed to
  the lower sales volume.

       Selling, general and administrative costs for the six months ended
  June 30, 1997 were $619,000 versus $1,078,000 for the comparable period in
  1996.  This decline reflects the Company s decision to close two offices
  and implement a cost reduction program in its remaining operations.

       Waste Management Services.  Revenues for the six months ended June
  30, 1997 were $150,000 as compared to revenues of $1,470,000 for the
  comparable period ended May 31, 1996.  This decline is the result of the
  completed transition of the Company s principal revenue producing
  activities of its QUIMICA OMEGA subsidiary to the BFI-OMEGA joint venture.

       Revenues for the joint venture, although not reflected in the
  Company s financial statements, continue to grow at a rate of 12% per
  quarter on a peso basis.

       Operating costs and expenses were $620,000 for the six months as
  compared to $2,095,000 for the comparable period in 1996.  This decline is
  directly associated with the shifting of revenue producing activities, and
  their associated costs, to the BFI-OMEGA joint venture.  The Company s
  remaining operating costs and expenses, although declining, are associated
  with the management of its Mexican business, maintenance of its completed,
  but not yet opened, landfill facility and the continuing development
  activities of additional industrial waste landfill facilities in Mexico.

       Other income of $169,000 represents the reduction in back taxes and

                                       9<PAGE>





  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 six months versus ($143,000) for the comparable period in 1996.  This
  loss represents 100% of the loss from ARI for 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 second
  half of 1997.  (See Note 5.)

       Corporate Expense.  Corporate expenses were $1,272,000 for the six
  months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to $2,305,000 for the six months
  ended May 31, 1996, a decline of 45%.  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 $26,000 for the six months as
  compared to $219,000 for the comparable period, as the Company has
  virtually eliminated most of its interest bearing obligations.

       Loss on Foreign Currency Translation.  This loss of ($9,000) 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 ($2,278,000) for the six months
  ended June 30, 1997 as compared to a net loss of ($4,245,000) for the
  comparable period ended May 31, 1996, an improvement of 46%.

  Liquidity and Capital Resources

       Working capital at June 30, 1997 was $1,474,000 as compared to
  $2,719,000 as of December 31, 1996.  The Company had cash and cash
  equivalents of $953,000 at June 30, 1997 as compared to $3,074,000 at
  December 31, 1996.  Cash used in operations was ($2,066,000) as compared
  to ($3,069,000) for the comparable period ending May 31, 1996.

       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
  substantial additional financing to construct and operate additional waste
  treatment facilities in Mexico as well as to support the continuing
  expansion of BFI-OMEGA s operations.  Furthermore, the Company will incur

                                      10<PAGE>





  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 and its investment bankers are also evaluating various long-term
  financing options.  Additionally, the Company is in discussions with a
  major federal developmental bank in Mexico related to financing the
  Company s new projects.


                                    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 Company s claim estimates damages in
  excess of $50 million based upon the fair market value of the facility. 
  The three member panel which will hear the case has been formed and the
  initial hearing was held on July 15, 1997.  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
  will submit its memorial no later than October 13, 1997, after which
  Mexico has 90 calendar days to submit its response.  Further steps, if
  required, will be announced by the judges within 15 calendar days from
  Mexico s submission.

       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

                                      11<PAGE>





  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
  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.
