PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On January 21, 1997, IMCO Recycling Inc., (the "Company"), acquired 100%
of the issued and outstanding capital stock of IMSAMET, Inc., ("IMSAMET"), in
exchange for $58,000,000 in cash pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase
Agreement (the "IMSAMET Agreement") among the Company, IMSAMET and
EnviroSource, Inc. IMSAMET, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries Imsamet of
Utah, Inc. and Imsamet of Idaho, Inc., operates aluminum processing
facilities in Wendover, Utah and Post Falls, Idaho, respectively. IMSAMET
also owns a seventy percent partnership interest in an aluminum processing
facility in Goodyear, Arizona. These three facilities process and recycle
aluminum scrap and drosses. IMSAMET also owns a fifty percent partnership
interest in a salt recovery facility in Wendover, Utah. The Company intends
to continue operating the business and assets of IMSAMET in a similar manner
as they were operated prior to the Company's acquisition of IMSAMET.
The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma statements of earnings for
the year ended December 31, 1996 have been derived from historical
consolidated financial statements of both the Company and IMSAMET. Both the
Company and IMSAMET's year end is December 31. The condensed consolidated
pro forma statements of earnings have been prepared assuming the acquisition
occurred as of the beginning of the period.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 1996 has been prepared as if the acquisition of IMSAMET had
occurred on that date and reflects the adjustments as shown in the footnotes
following the pro forma statements.
In the opinion of the Company this information reflects all adjustments
necessary to present fairly such pro forma data; however, such statements
should not be considered indicative of the actual results that would have
been achieved had the acquisition been completed on the dates or periods
indicated, and they do not purport to indicate the results of earnings as of
any future date or for any future periods.
The acquisition has been accounted for by the purchase method.
Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of IMSAMET have been adjusted to
their estimated fair values, as determined by the management of the Company,
to reflect the allocation of the costs of the acquisition by the Company.

The pro forma adjustments to the historical financial statements are as
follows:
A. To record proceeds under new Credit Agreement dated January 21, 1997.
B. To record purchase of the capital stock of IMSAMET, Inc.
C. To record the following payments:
Repayment of existing debt--long-term $42,500
Repayment of existing debt--current maturities of long-term 2,000
Repayment of existing debt--short-term 2,000
Payment of accrued interest on existing debt 737
Payment of debt issuance costs for new Credit Agreement 2,660
Payment for penalty on early retirement of debt 1,953
Other 250
-------
Total payments $52,100
-------
-------
The early debt retirement payment penalty resulted in an extraordinary loss
of $1,211 net income tax benefit of $742.
D. To record the write-off of existing debt issuance costs of $243 which
resulted in an extraordinary loss of $151 net income tax benefit of $92.
E. To record accrual of severance pay and other merger related costs.
F. To adjust assets and liabilities under the purchase method of accounting
based on the Company's purchase price. The Company's purchase price has
been allocated to the consolidated assets and liabilities of IMSAMET, Inc.
based on preliminary estimates of fair values with the remaining purchase
price allocated to goodwill. The information presented herein may differ
from the actual purchase price allocation.
The preliminary allocation of the purchase price included in the pro forma
balance sheet is summarized as follows:
Working capital $ 4,674
Property and equipment 22,857
Goodwill 38,971
Other noncurrent assets 914

G. To reverse management fees charged IMSAMET by its former parent.
H. To reflect additional depreciation expense on the fair value of the assets
acquired. Pro forma depreciation is computed on a straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets acquired.
I. To eliminate expenses related to the IMSAMET corporate office which would
not have been incurred had the acquisition occurred at the beginning of the
period.
J. To record net increase in amortization expense for goodwill acquired and
debt issuance costs for the new Credit Agreement. Goodwill is amortized on
a straight-line basis over a 40 year life, and debt issuance costs are
amortized over the 7 year term of the Credit Agreement.
K. To adjust interest expense to (i) eliminate interest expense on the
existing debt of the Company which was retired ($3,120), (ii) eliminate
interest expense incurred by IMSAMET on debt to its former parent ($1,533),
and (iii) record interest expense on borrowings under the new Credit
Agreement ($7,927). Pro forma interest expense on borrowings under the new
Credit Agreement was computed using LIBOR plus 1.5%. An increase of .125%
in the assumed interest rate would increase pro forma interest expense by
$138 for the year.
L. To record additional income taxes based on the combined effective federal
and state income tax rates as if the acquisition had occurred at the
beginning of the year.
M. To adjust minority interest related to additional depreciation expense.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
IMSAMET, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company), a wholly owned subsidiary of
EnviroSource Inc., ("EnviroSource") at December 31, 1996.
In January 1997, all of the Company's outstanding common stock was acquired by
IMCO Recycling Inc. ("IMCO") for $58,000,000 in cash. IMCO operates and owns or
has a majority interest in aluminum recycling plants located in the United
States and Europe.
The Company's principal business involves the owning and operating of aluminum
recycling facilities. The Company recycles scrap material for a fee and returns
the material to its customers. The Company also purchases aluminum scrap on the
open market, recycles, and sells it.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon
consolidation. Investments in affiliated companies, owned 50% or less, are
recorded by the Company on the equity method.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (moving average) or market.

IMSAMET, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
CREDIT RISK
A majority of the Company's accounts receivable are due from companies in the
aluminum industry. Credit is extended based on evaluation of the customers'
financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Credit losses
have historically been minimal.
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals and improvements are
capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed when incurred.
Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the related assets. Estimated useful lives range from seven to 15
years for buildings and improvements and three to 15 years for machinery and
equipment.
Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 1996 was $2,224,614.
The Company reviews its property and equipment for impairment when changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. Impairment is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount
of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset less disposal costs.
GOODWILL
Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 to 40 years. Management
regularly reviews the remaining goodwill with consideration toward recovery
through future operating results. Amortization of goodwill was $540,708 for the
year ended December 31, 1996.
2. INVENTORIES
Inventories consist of the following at December 31, 1996:
Raw materials $ 189,668
Finished goods 1,061,434
------------
$ 1,251,102

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
3. INCOME TAXES
The results of operations of the Company for the year ended December 31, 1996
will be included in the consolidated income tax returns of EnviroSource. The
current income tax provision included in the statement of earnings reflects
amounts paid to EnviroSource. The Company uses the asset and liability method
of accounting for deferred income
3. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
taxes, whereby, a deferred tax asset or liability is recognized for estimated
future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards.
The components of the provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31,
1996 were as follows:
Current:
Federal $ 251,586
State and local 452,000
-----------
Total current 703,586
Deferred:
Federal (71,561)
State and local (17,025)
-----------
Total deferred (88,586)
-----------
Provision for income taxes $ 615,000
-----------
-----------
The provision for income taxes computed by applying the federal statutory tax
rate to earnings before income taxes differed from the provision for income
taxes as follows for the year ended December 31, 1996:
Income taxes at the federal statutory rate $ 741,211
State income taxes 282,734
Adjustment resulting from inclusion in
consolidated returns of EnviroSource (408,945)
-----------
Provision for income taxes $ 615,000
-----------
-----------
The entire balance of deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 1996 relates to
temporary differences resulting from accelerated depreciation of property and
equipment for income tax purposes.

4. CERTAIN RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Company was included under workers'
compensation and general liability insurance policies of EnviroSource.
EnviroSource
charged the Company $113,779 for this coverage. Also for the year ended
December 31, 1996, the Company participated in EnviroSource's multi-employer
pension and profit sharing plans and was charged $73,372. The Company believes
these charges approximate EnviroSource's cost of providing the insurance
coverage and employee benefits.
For the year ended December 31, 1996, EnviroSource charged the Company a
management fee of $1,272,000.
During the year ended December 31, 1996, EnviroSource charged the Company
interest on the balance of the Company's payable to EnviroSource at a rate of
prime plus two percent. The net payable to EnviroSource and its affiliates was
contributed to capital on December 31, 1996.
5. LEASE COMMITMENTS
The Company operates a facilities in Arizona and Utah that are situated on land
rented from third parties under noncancelable operating lease agreements. The
Company has other operating leases, primarily for transportation equipment. Rent
expense for the year ended December 31, 1996 was $666,889. Future minimum lease
payments for all noncancelable operating leases as of December 31, 1996, amount
to $453,098 in 1997, $437,213 in 1998, $324,527 in 1999, $166,422 in 2000, and
$39,189 in 2001.
6. MAJOR CUSTOMERS
The Company markets the aluminum it produces to distributors and end users,
principally in the United States. One customer accounted for approximately 35%
of the Company's revenues for the year ended December 31, 1996.
