                         METALCLAD CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          For the Period June 30, 1999
                                  (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,  1999 are not
   necessarily  indicative  of  what  results  will  be  for the year ending
   December  31,  1999.  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, 1998.

   2.  During the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company committed to a plan to
   discontinue  its  Mexican  operations  and  to seek to identify potential
   buyers  for  its  Mexican  business,  consequently, the Company s Mexican
   operations  are now classified as discontinued operations.  The financial
   statements for the periods ending June 30, 1998 have been reclassified to
   reflect  this  accounting  so  as  to  be  consistent  with  the  current
   presentation.

        The Company continues to pursue the sale of these operations, and is
   presently  in discussions with potential buyers for these operations.  We
   continue  to  believe  that  a transaction will be completed during 1999;
   however,  no  assurances  can  be  given  that  these discussions will be
   successful.

   3.  For almost two years, the Company has been involved in an arbitration
   proceeding  with  the United Mexican States over the Company s completed,
   but  unopened, landfill facility in San Luis Potosi, Mexico.  At the pre-
   hearing  conference on July 6, 1999, the Tribunal reaffirmed the schedule
   for  the  final  hearing  on  the  arbitration.    The final hearing will
   commence  on  August  30,  1999  and  is  anticipated  to be completed on
   September  10,  1999.  A decision will follow completion of this hearing,
   but  no definitive time frame can be provided (see Part II, Item 1--Legal
   Proceedings).

   4.    On August 2, 1999 the Company was advised by The NASDAQ-AMEX Market
   Group  that  the  Company  has evidenced compliance with the requirements
   necessary   for  continued  listing  and,  therefore,  the  Company  will
   continued to be listed on The NASDAQ SmallCap Market and the hearing file
   is now closed.

   5.    On July 30, 1999 the Company entered into an amendment of the terms
   of  its  Five-Year  Zero  Coupon  Notes  with  the holder.  The amendment


                                       5





   included  the  conversion  of accrued interest through July 30, 1999 into
   principal  notes,  the  interest  rate  was  adjusted  from  9.3%  to 12%
   effective July 31, 1999, the convertibility of the notes and the holder s
   redemption  option  on  the notes was extended until the earlier of March
   31,  2000  or completion of the NAFTA proceedings and the conversion rate
   per  share  will  be at the lesser of 70% of the average market price per
   share  or  $2.50 per share.  In no event, however, can the holder convert
   its  principal into common shares such that it would result in the holder
   obtaining shares that would exceed 19.99% of the outstanding common stock
   of  the  Company.    Should  the holder exercise its right to convert the
   notes,  all  accrued  interest  would  be  forfeited.    As  part of this
   amendment, the note holder agreed to exercise certain of its warrants and
   to purchase $250,000 in additional notes.

   6.  The loss per share amounts for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and
   June  30,  1998  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
   b e   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 (Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 and 1998)

           General.    Historically,  the  Company s revenues were generated
   primarily  in  the  United  States from insulation and asbestos abatement
   services and 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.


                                       6





        Since November 1991, the Company has been actively involved in doing
   business  in  Mexico.  The Company s initial focus was the development of
   facilities   for  the  treatment,  storage  and  disposal  of  industrial
   hazardous waste.

          During the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company determined that its
   efforts  at  building  its  business  in  Mexico  would not be allowed to
   succeed.    The  Company  s  investment  in  El Confin has resulted in an
   arbitration  under the NAFTA treaty, its investment in Aguascalientes has
   been  blocked  just  prior  to  the  project  s completion, and its other
   business  has  been  impacted  due  to the loss of these projects and the
   synergy  they  would  have  provided.    Consequently,  the  Company  has
   determined  that  its  Mexican businesses must be sold to minimize future
   losses  and  that any further investment in Mexico should be halted.  The
   Company  will  retain its investment in El Confin, with the operations of
   ARI and El Llano and the development activities of ECONSA held for sale.

       Insulation Business.  Total revenues from the insulation business for
   the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1999  were  $7,664,000 as compared to
   $5,326,000  for the comparable period ended June 30, 1998, an increase of
   44%.

           Contract  revenues  for  the  six months ended June 30, 1999 were
   $7,480,000  as  compared  to $5,301,000 for the six months ended June 30,
   1998,  an  increase of 41%.  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  $184,000 for the six months as compared to
   $22,000 for the comparable period.

       Total expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1999 were $7,243,000
   as  compared to $5,116,000 for the comparable period ended June 30, 1998,
   an increase of 41%.

           Contract costs and expenses were $6,491,000 for the six months as
   compared  to  $4,578,000  for  the  six  months  ended  June 30, 1998, an
   increase of 42%.  This increase is consistent with the Company s increase
   in revenues.

       Cost of material sales was $147,000 for the six months as compared to
   $15,000, matching the increase in sales in this area.

          Selling, general and administrative costs for the six months ended
   June  30,  1999  were $605,000 as compared to $523,000 for the comparable
   period  ended  June 30, 1998, an increase of 16% and due to the increased
   volume of work in the period.

           Discontinued  Operations.   Loss from discontinued operations was
   $353,000  for the six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to a loss of
   $642,000  for  the  six months ended June 30, 1998.  The Company believes
   these  losses  will  continue  until  a sale is completed, given that the
   Company will make no further investments in Mexico, consequently limiting
   working capital.


                                       7





          Corporate Expense.  Corporate expenses were $1,109,000 for the six
   months  ended  June 30, 1999 as compared to $1,364,000 for the comparable
   period  of 1998, a decline of 19%.  This decline was achieved despite the
   increasing costs associated with the Company s pursuit of its claim under
   NAFTA by continued cost reductions and staffing reductions.

       Interest Expense.  Interest expense for the six months ended June 30,
   1999  was  $149,000  as  compared  to interest expense of $60,000 for the
   comparable  period.  This is due to the addition of interest-bearing debt
   during the second half of 1998.

   Consolidated Results

         The Company experienced a net loss of $1,189,000 for the six months
   ended  June  30,  1999  as  compared  to a net loss of $1,856,000 for the
   comparable period ended June 30, 1998, an improvement of 36%.

   Impact of Year 2000

             During fiscal 1998, the Company initiated a plan to acquire and
   implement  new  business  information systems which address the year 2000
   issues.    On  January 1, 1999, the Company converted most of its primary
   internal  systems  to year 2000 compliant systems.  The remaining systems
   are  in  the  process  of  being  converted  and tested, with no material
   problems identified.  All systems conversions and testing are expected to
   be  completed  prior  to  December  1,  1999.    The Company is currently
   reviewing  its  contingency plan alternatives, including the modification
   of existing systems to eliminate year 2000 associated problems.

          To date, the Company has expended less than $100,000 and remaining
   expenditures will not be material.

   Liquidity and Capital Resources

         In  the  fourth quarter of 1998, the Company committed to a plan to
   discontinue  its  Mexican operations and to seek potential buyers for its
   Mexican  business.    The  Company  is,  however, retaining the El Confin
   landfill  facility currently in an arbitration under the NAFTA.  Although
   no further investments are being made in Mexico, the Company continues to
   rely  upon  additional capital to maintain its Mexican assets until sold,
   pursue its NAFTA arbitration and support its remaining operations.

           During  the  six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company received
   approximately  $526,000  from  the exercise of warrants under its warrant
   exchange program and an additional $750,000 from the exercise of warrants
   outside  of any exchange offer.  Additionally, the Company issued 385,000
   shares  of  its  common  stock  to  certain  employees  of the Company in
   exchange for $108,000 in payroll obligations.

       During July 1999, the holder of the Company s $350,000 principal, 10%
   Convertible  Subordinated  Debentures  due  2001 converted the debentures
   into  common  stock  of  the  Company.    Additionally, the holder of the
   Company  s  7%  Convertible  Subordinated  Debentures  due 2001 converted
   $100,000 of the principal amount of the debentures into common stock of


                                       8





   the Company.  The Company believes the holder of these debentures intends
   to convert the remaining debentures into its common stock as well.

       The Company had working capital at June 30, 1999 of $321,000 compared
   to working capital deficit of $376,000 at December 31, 1998.  The Company
   had  cash  and cash equivalents at June 30, 1999 of $166,000 and $524,000
   at  December  31,  1998.   Cash used in continuing operations for the six
   months  ended June 30, 1999 was $1,086,000 compared to $295,000 for 1998.
   Cash  used  by  discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30,
   1999  was $452,000 compared to cash used of $502,000 for 1998.  Cash used
   in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was funded
   primarily  by  cash  and cash equivalents on hand at the beginning of the
   year as well as the warrant exercises completed during the six months.

           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 continue pursuit of its NAFTA claim,
   and  complete  the sale of its Mexican operations, along with general and
   administrative  expenses  without  revenues to offset such expenses.  The
   Company  is  aware  of its on going cash needs and continues to work with
   its  warrant holders, investment bankers and other sources to meet its on
   going  needs  through December 31, 1999.  Given the Company s decision to
   discontinue  operations  in  Mexico,  and  sell  its businesses, the cash
   requirements  in  Mexico  greatly diminish.  The Company believes it will
   obtain  the necessary funds to continue its planned operations throughout
   1999;  however,  no  assurances  can  be  given  that  such funds will be

                               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 300, 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.

           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
   I n vestment  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.

                                       9






        Pursuant to the proceedings, the Company, on October 13, 1997, filed
   its Memorial, which included the Claim and all of the 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 expert company, 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.  On August 21, 1998 the Company
   filed  its Reply to Mexico and on May 3, 1999 Mexico filed its rejoinder.
   A  pre-hearing  conference  was  completed on July 6, 1999 with the final
   hearing date set for August 30, 1999.

         The Company has devoted substantial resources in the pursuit of its
   claim before the NAFTA tribunal.  It has given counsel broad authority in
   the  employment  of  experts  and  others  it feels necessary to properly
   pursue  the Company s claim.  The officers of the Company have also spent
   substantial  amounts  of  time  and  resources in assisting the Company s
   NAFTA  counsel  and  will  continue  to do so to completion.  There is no
   assurance,  however,  that the Company will be successful.  If it is not,
   the  impact  will  be  material and adverse.  Management does not believe
   that  a  loss  of  its arbitration case would cause the Company to become
   insolvent  or  prevent  it  from  conducting its domestic business, or in
   making  acquisitions or mergers with others in similar businesses seeking
   a public market.

   Item 2.  Changes in Securities

          On June 2, 1999 the shareholders of the Company approved a reverse
   stock  split of the Company s common stock in a ratio of one share for up
   to ten shares of its outstanding common stock.

           Pursuant to this approval, the Board of Directions of the Company
   approved a reverse split of the common shares in a ratio of one share for
   every  ten  shares.    This  reverse  split  was  effective on The Nasdaq
   SmallCap Market on July 2, 1999.
