                      CONSUMAT ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS, INC
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       The  accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements  have been prepared
         pursuant to the rules and  regulations of the Securities and Exchange
         Commission.  Certain  information  and footnote  disclosures  normally
         included in financial statements  prepared in accordance  with
         generally  accepted  accounting  principles  ("GAAP") have been
         condensed or omitted  pursuant to such rules and  regulations.  The
         Company  believes that the disclosures made herein are adequate and
         that the information  presented is not misleading.  In the opinion of
         management,  all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the
         results of operations and financial  position for the periods
         presented have been made (and any such  adjustments are of a normal
         recurring  nature).  These financial  statements  should be read in
         conjunction with the financial  statements and notes thereto  included
         in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
         December 31, 1996 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

2.       Earnings (loss) per share is calculated based on the weighted average
         number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the
         period to the extent the equivalents have a dilutive effect on earnings
         (loss) per common share. The number of shares used in computing primary
         and fully diluted earnings (loss) per share for the periods ended
         September 30, 1997 was 1,261,200.

3.       The inventories balance at September 30, 1997 includes raw materials of
         $183,391 and work in process of $13,716. The inventories balance at
         December 31, 1996 included raw materials of $222,262 and work in
         process of $4,089. Inventories used on contracts in progress are
         included in cost of goods sold to accurately match the cost with the
         revenue recognized on those contracts by the percentage of completion
         method of revenue recognition.

4.       On March 27, 1997, the Company incurred additional Senior Debt in the
         amount of $500,000 under the same terms and conditions as its prior
         debt. The debt is at an interest rate of 14%. The interest is payable
         monthly in arrears and the principle is due in a balloon payment in
         2002.

         On July 17, 1997, the Company incurred additional Senior Debt in the
         amount of $500,000. This debt is at an interest rate of 14% and its
         interest is payable monthly in arrears. The principle is due in July
         1998. Also, the Company granted to the lender, at that time, a warrant
         to purchase up to 5% of the Company's outstanding stock at the then
         current market price of $2.25 per share. This warrant is only
         exercisable if the debt is not paid on or before its due date. In
         September,1997 all debt outstanding to Sirrom Capital Corporation was
         subordinated to the project financing as discussed below.

         In late September, 1997 the Company incurred new Senior Debt to Central
         Fidelity Bank in the form of project financing for a major project in
         Korea. The debt is secured by an irrevocable Letter of Credit from the
         customer. The debt carries an interest rate of Prime plus one-half
         percent (currently 9%). Interest on the debt is paid monthly in
         arrears. The principle on the debt is to be repaid from the collections
         on the Letter of Credit, which should occur in early 1998. In addition,
         the debt is 90% guaranteed by the Export-Import Bank of the United
         States.

5.       Income taxes have been provided as follows in the accompanying
         statements of income:

                                    Period From             Nine Month
                                     March 12-              Period Ended
                                 September 30,1996        September 30, 1997
                                ------------------        ------------------
Current Expense (Benefit)
           Federal                   $ 6,013               $        -
             State                     1,503                        -
Deferred Expense (Benefit)
           Federal                   113,200                  (89,988)
             State                    12,522                  (13,635)
                                     -------                 ---------
                                    $133,238               $ (103,623)

         Income taxes are provided at the applicable federal and state rates.


         At September 30, 1997, the Company had NOL carryforwards of
         approximately $3.7 million for federal income tax purposes. Such NOL
         carryforwards, if not used as offsets to future taxable income, will
         expire beginning in 1997 and continuing through 2008. Certain of these
         NOL carryforwards available for future utilization are limited as the
         result of a change in ownership of the Company which occurred in 1992.
         In addition the Company has deferred tax assets which have arisen from
         temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities
         and their reported amounts in the financial statements. These
         differences are primarily related to fixed assets and accrued warranty
         expense.

         In accordance with FAS 109, the Company has recognized the portion of
         future benefits associated with the NOL's that management feels will
         more likely than not be realized. This amount totals $258,544 and
         $154,921 as of September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.
         A valuation allowance has been set up against the remaining amount of
         the total NOL's.

                      CONSUMAT ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS, INC.
                         PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 2   MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF UNAUDITED
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Consumat Environmental Systems, Inc., formerly known as Consumat
Systems, Inc. (the "Company"), completed its chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding
during the first quarter of 1996. The Effective Date of the Bankruptcy Plan was
March 12, 1996. For this reason, all information presented in this report
related to the period January 1, 1996 to March 11, 1996 is referred to as the
Predecessor Company. All information presented for the periods subsequent to
March 11, 1996 is referred to as the Successor Company. To facilitate a more
meaningful comparison of the Company's year-to-date operating performance, the
following discussion of the results of operations is presented on a combined
Company (Predecessor plus Successor) basis for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1996.

        As was discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, the
Company accounted for its reorganization using fresh start reporting. This
reporting allowed the Company to eliminate the retained deficit of the Company
as of the Effective Date and to restate the balance sheet at that time. The
effects of the consummation of the Plan and the fresh start reporting allowed
the Company to emerge from its bankruptcy proceeding with a working capital
surplus of approximately $1,074,000 and a net capital surplus of $1,010,000. At
September 30, 1997, the Company had a working capital surplus of $802,549 and a
net capital surplus of $538,556.


                    3rd QUARTER 1997 - RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The Successor lost $402,901 on revenues of $752,370 in the three month
period ended September 30, 1997. In the third quarter of 1996 the Successor
earned $73,906 on revenues of $1,345,507. The loss for the third quarter of 1997
includes income tax expense of $187,207. As of September 30, 1997, the Company
reviewed the projected future earnings in relation to the balance of the
deferred tax asset account and determined that a balance of $258,544 was
reasonable at that time. This resulted in a decrease of the asset balance from
June 30, 1997 of $187,207. This change in the asset balance is reflected as the
net income tax for the third quarter. The income for the third quarter of 1996
is net of income tax expense of $45,297.

                             LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL

         In July of 1997, the Company obtained an additional loan in the amount
of $500,000 from Sirrom Capital Corporation. The loan will be used for working
capital purposes, in particular, the continuation of the renewed sales and
marketing effort especially in selected foreign countries.

         Backlog was $828,150 and $1,130,950 at September 1997 and December 31,
1996, respectively. Since late in 1996, the Company has directed substantial
resources, both in time and funding, to expand its sales and marketing presence.
The Company has embarked on a plan to identify and establish strong
representation in certain domestic markets and in a number of selected countries
around the world. But, because the Company sells capital equipment, which often
has a sales cycle of two years or more, this marketing push is only beginning to
generate new orders. The Company has established seven new sales representatives
in the United States. In addition, the Company has set up new sales
representation in several foreign countries, including Chile, China, India,
Korea, Mexico, Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey.

                         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 9/30/97
                             COMPARED WITH 9/30/96

         Revenues (Successor vs. Successor/Predecessor Combined) Revenues
decreased $1.83 million or 45.8% from $3.99 million for the first nine months of
1996 to $2.16 million for the first nine months of 1997. The decrease in
revenues for the first nine months of 1997 is primarily the result of the lack
of adequate marketing during the bankruptcy period. Subsequent to the Effective
Date of the Plan, significant expenditures were made in the Company's Sales and
Marketing area. Due to the long sales cycle in this industry, these expenses
have yet to generate significant new sales.

         Cost of Goods Sold (Successor vs. Successor/Predecessor Combined) Costs
of Goods Sold decreased by $787,000 or 29.2% from $2.70 million for the first
nine months of 1996 to $1.91 million for the first nine months of 1997. The
gross margin of $1.29 million for the first nine months of 1996 compares to a
gross margin of $247,000 for the first nine months of 1997. The gross margin
rate decreased from 32.3% for the first nine months of 1996 to 11.4% for the
first nine months of 1997. The decrease in gross margin rate is primarily the
result of the decreased revenue volume and the significant amount of fixed
overhead costs related to the Company's manufacturing operation.

         Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (Successor vs.
Successor/Predecessor Combined) Selling, general and administrative expenses
increased by $195,000 or 26.9% from $726,000 for the first nine months of 1996
to $921,000 for the nine months of 1997. The majority of the increase,
approximately $144,000 is additional sales and marketing expenses incurred in
the first nine months of 1997. The Company hired a new Director of Sales and
Marketing and a new International Business Development Director in the third
quarter of 1996. The costs related to these new positions including wages,
benefits and travel expenses account for the increased sales expenditures in the
first nine months of 1997. The only significant general and administrative
expenses that increased in the first nine months of 1997 were accounting fees,
stock transfer costs related to the December 1996 name change and certain
insurance costs.

         Interest Expense (Successor vs. Successor/Predecessor Combined)
Interest expense increased by $59,000 or 28.0% from $212,000 for the first nine
months of 1996 to $271,000 for the first nine months of 1997. The increase for
1997 is the net result of an increase related to additional senior subordinated
debt incurred March of 1996 and in March and July of 1997 and offset by a
decrease in the interest on the Company's capital lease and other long-term
debt.

                                GENERAL COMMENTS

         Other items stated in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for
the year ended December 31, 1996 are incorporated by reference.
