                   METALCLAD CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     For the Period Ended June 30, 1998
                                 (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 three months ended March 31, 1998 are not
  necessarily indicative of what results will be for the year ending
  December 31, 1998.  These statements should be read in conjunction with
  the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the report
  of independent public accountants which was modified due to substantial
  doubt about the Company s ability to continue as a going concern
  included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
  1997.

       2.  The Company has completed all design, pre-development and
  permitting necessary to build and operate an industrial waste landfill
  in Aguascalientes, Mexico.  Construction was originally announced in
  February 1998 with completion expected in August 1998.  Because the
  anticipated financing in Mexico did not materialize, construction was
  slowed consistent with available resources and in order to test the
  Company s ability to open a new facility while still litigating its
  rights with the first one.  First phase construction is nearly complete
  and limited commercial operations are expected to begin within
  approximately seven weeks.  Expansion of the project will require
  additional resources which the Company has identified, but will not
  expend until initial commercial operations have proven to be successful.

       3.  As part of the Company s warrant exchange program initiated in
  August 1997, an unintended clause in the warrants issued as part of
  financings in 1994 and 1996 has been identified.  Each warrant issued in
  these financings contained a provision for anti-dilution protection
  related to exercise price.  This clause entitled the holder to
  effectively have the exercise price reduced to the lower of market or
  subsequent equity transaction pricing ( ratchet  event).  The unintended
  provision further provided that the number of shares underlying each
  warrant would increase upon a ratchet event, resulting in the same net
  proceeds to the Company upon exercise, but creating an increase in the
  number of shares.

       The Company believes this unintended provision to be an oversight
  but has initiated actions to exchange the old warrants for new warrants,
  correcting the language, on the following terms:


                                       6<PAGE>





           * Original 1994 Warrants -- exchange ratio 1.5:1.0
           * Original 1996 Warrants -- exchange ratio 2.0:1.0 
           * All replacement warrants will have an expiration date of five 
               years from the exchange date and registration rights.

         The Company believes this proposal to be fair, although the total
  proceeds  ultimately  received  by  the  Company  will be less, so as to
  correct the warrants.  As a result of the Company s proposal, additional
  warrants in the amount of 3,728,000 would be issued.  Should the warrant
  holders  reject  the Company s proposal, the potential additional shares
  underlying  the  old  warrants  could  be  in excess of 12,500,000.  The
  Company  has  received  some  acceptances of its proposal, but cannot be
  assured that all the holders will accept its offer.  The Company intends
  to continue to address this issue until resolved.

       4.  Effective January 1, 1998 the Company adopted the provisions of
  SFAS  No.  130,    Reporting  Comprehensive  Income    which establishes
  standards  for  reporting  and  display  of comprehensive income and its
  components  in  a  full  set  of  general-purpose  financial statements.
  Comprehensive  income is defined as the total of net income and all non-
  owner changes in equity.  For the periods ending June 30, 1998 and 1997,
  there  were  no adjustments which would materially affect the net income
  as reported.

         5.  The loss per share amounts for the six and three months ended
  June  30,  1998 and June 30, 1997 were computed by dividing the net loss
  by  the  weighted  average  shares  outstanding  during  the  applicable
  quarter.



  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
   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

                                       7<PAGE>





  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 asbestos abatement
  services;  and (ii) revenues in Mexico from the collection of waste oils
  and  solvents  for  recycling,  placement and servicing 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; and the subject of
  arbitration  proceedings  under  the North American Free Trade Agreement
  (  NAFTA ).  The Company is also active in the development of additional
  projects  in  Mexico,    pursuing  development  opportunities  near  the
  industrial  heart  of  Mexico.    These opportunities include industrial
  waste landfill facilities and hazardous waste treatment facilities which
  will include neutralization, solidification and evaporation processes to
  handle a variety of waste streams.  These development activities include
  s i ting,  permitting,  social  and  political  support,  and  community
  awareness.    The development process typically can take up to two years
  to obtain the necessary support and permitting to build a facility.  The
  actual  construction  time  necessary  to  complete  these facilities is
  approximately  six months.  However, there can be no assurances that the
  Company  will  be successful in these efforts.  The Company s results of
  operations  include  the  costs  of development of all such future waste
  treatment facilities in Mexico.

         Insulation Business.  Total revenues from the insulation business
  for  the  six  months ended June 30, 1998 were $5,326,000 as compared to
  $4,780,000 for the comparable period ended June 30, 1997, an increase of
  11%.

            Contract  revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998 were
  $5,301,000  as  compared to $4,461,000 for the six months ended June 30,
  1997,  an increase of 18%.  This increase is attributed to the Company s
  efforts  to  diversify  its  client  base,  including its entry into the
  commercial insulation market.

        Material sales were $22,000 for the period as compared to $133,000
  for  the comparable period, a decrease of 83% as the Company places less
  emphasis on this market.

            Total  expenses  for  the  six months ended June 30, 1998 were
  $5,116,000  as  compared  to  $4,707,000 for the comparable period ended

                                       8<PAGE>





  June 30, 1997, an increase of 9%.

            Contract  costs and expenses were $4,578,000 for the period as
  compared  to  $3,984,000  for  the  six  months  ended June 30, 1997, an
  increase  of  15%.    This  increase  is  consistent  with the Company s
  increase in revenues.

          Cost of material sales was $15,000 for the period as compared to
  $104,000,  a  decrease  of 86%, coinciding with the decrease in sales in
  this area.

        Selling, general and administrative costs for the six months ended
  June  30,  1998 were $523,000 as compared to $619,000 for the comparable
  period ended June 30, 1997, a decrease of 16%.     

        Other income was $4,000 for the period as compared to $186,000 for
  the  comparable  period,  a  decrease  of  98%  as the comparable period
  contained certain one-time collections associated with the settlement of
  a  collection  claim against a previous customer and return premiums for
  prior years insurance coverages.

        Waste Management Services.  Revenues for the six months ended June
  30,  1998  were  $2,701,000  as  compared to $150,000 for the comparable
  period  ended  June  30,  1997.    This  increase is associated with the
  Company  s  change  in  accounting  for these operations from the equity
  method  of  accounting  to  full consolidation of ARI due to the Company
  acquiring  100%  ownership  of  ARI in 1997.  Were the revenues for 1997
  consolidated, the comparative results would be $2,701,000 and $2,376,000
  for  the  period ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, an increase
  of 25%.

            Operating  costs  and expenses, associated with revenues, were
  $2,930,000  as compared to $426,000 for the comparable period ended June
  30,  1997,  with  this increase related to the increase in revenues and,
  again, reflective of the accounting change between the periods.

         Landfill development costs were $294,000 for the six months ended
  June 30, 1998 compared to $194,000 for the comparable period in 1997, an
  increase  of 51%, associated with the Company s continuing activities in
  the development of additional waste treatment facilities.

         Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates was $0.00 for the
  current  period compared to ($743,000), representing 100% of the loss of
  ARI,  for  the  quarter  ended  June  30,  1997,  due  to  the change in
  accounting for ARI.

        Corporate Expense.  Corporate expenses were $1,364,000 for the six
  months  ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $1,272,000 for the comparable
  period  of  1997,  an  increase  of  7%.    This  increase is due to the
  increasing  costs  associated  with  the  Company s pursuit of its claim
  under NAFTA.


                                       9<PAGE>





         Interest Income (Expense).  Interest expense for the period ended
  June 30, 1998 was ($193,000) as compared to ($26,000) for the comparable
  period.

          Loss on Foreign Currency Translation.  This loss of ($16,000) is
  due  to  the  accounting  treatment  associated  with  Mexico  s  highly
  inflationary  economy.    During  the  comparable  period, this loss was
  ($9,000).

  Consolidated Results

            The Company experienced a net loss of ($1,856,000) for the six
  months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to a net loss of ($2,278,000) for
  the comparable period ended June 30, 1997, an improvement of 19%.

  Liquidity and Capital Resources

           Working capital at June 30, 1998 was ($375,000)  as compared to
  $1,702,000  as  of  December  31,  1997.   The Company had cash and cash
  equivalents  of  $735,000  at June 30, 1998 as compared to $1,644,000 at
  December  31,  1997.  Cash used in operations was ($799,000) as compared
  to ($2,066,000) for the comparable period ending June 30, 1997.

           The Company believes that the insulation business will generate
  adequate  cash  flows  from  continuing  operations  to  meet its future
  obligations  and expenses relating to such operations.  The Company will
  require  substantial  additional  financing  to  construct  and  operate
  Aguascalientes  as  well  as  additional  waste  treatment facilities in
  Mexico   and  to  support  the  continuing  growth  of  ARI  operations.
  Furthermore,  to  the  extent  that  the  Company  is required to expend
  additional  efforts  to  pursue  its NAFTA claim, additional general and
  administrative  expenses  without  revenues  to offset such expenses are
  anticipated  until  the landfill is opened.  The Company is aware of its
  ongoing  cash  requirements  and  has  completed  a  $1  million private
  p l a c e ment  of  7%  convertible  subordinated  debentures  in  July.
  Additionally,  the  company  has  a  commitment  for  $5  million  in 7%
  convertible  subordinated  debentures  in the form of $2 million initial
  funding  and  a $3 million equity credit facility, which the Company has
  the option to draw upon.  This financing will close in August, 1998.


                                   PART II

                              OTHER INFORMATION

  ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

        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

                                      10<PAGE>





  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.

         On October 2, 1996, having completed a long period of negotiation
  with  the  Mexican  government  on  the  opening  of its hazardous waste
  landfill in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, the Company filed a Notice of Claim
  under  the  provision  of  the North American Free Trade Agreement.  The
  notice  was  filed  with  the International Center for the Settlement of
  Investment   Disputes  (ICSID)  in  Washington,  D.C.  pursuant  to  the
  provisions  of  the  NAFTA.    On January 2, 1997, the Company filed its
  actual  claim with the Tribunal, after which a three-member Tribunal was
  impaneled which includes one arbitrator from Mexico, one from the United
  States  and  a third, chosen jointly by the parties, from Great Britain.
  The  first  hearing  was held in Washington, D.C. on July 15, 1997 and a
  number  of  matters  were  agreed  upon by the parties and a significant
  amount  of  direction  was given by the Tribunal to the proceedings that
  would move forward.  

       Pursuant to those understandings, the Company, on October 13, 1997,
  filed  its Memorial which included the Claim and evidence supporting the
  Claim,  including expert witness studies and the like.  The basis of the
  Company  s  claim  against  Mexico is one likened to expropriation.  The
  Company s position is since it is not being allowed to operate a legally
  authorized  project,  it  has  in  essence  been  taken  by  the Mexican
  government  and  they  should, therefore, be responsible for paying fair
  compensation  under the provision of the NAFTA.  A fair market valuation
  was  done  on behalf of the Company by an outside expert which indicated
  the fair market value of this business was $90,000,000.  

            On  February  17,  1998,  the United Mexican States ( Mexico )
  responded  to  the  Company s claim to the Tribunal.  The Company is now
  preparing  a reply brief, which is scheduled for submittal on August 21,
  to  be followed by a rejoinder brief from Mexico and then a hearing will
  be  scheduled  prior  to  the  final  determination  of the case.  It is
  believed that this process could take six months or more to complete.

            In  May 1997 a jury found Texaco oil refinery, a client of the
  Company  55%  liable  for  injuries and damages sustained by a Metalclad
  I n sulation  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.    This  award  has  been appealed and the ultimate outcome
  cannot  be  predicted;  however,  the  Company  believes  its  insurance
  programs are adequate to address any potential exposure.
