                          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, 1997 filed with the  Securities
         and Exchange Commission.

2.       As of December 31,  1997,  the Company  adopted  Statement of Financial
         Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." SFAS No.
         128 replaced the  calculation of primary and fully diluted net earnings
         per share with basic and diluted net earnings per share. Unlike primary
         net  earnings  per share,  basic net  earnings  per share  excludes any
         dilutive  effects of  options,  warrants  and  convertible  securities.
         Diluted net earnings per share is similar to the previous fully diluted
         net earnings per share. All  prior-period  loss per share data has been
         restated to conform to the provisions of SFAS No. 128.

         The  following  is a  reconciliation  of the  calculation  of basic and
         diluted net loss per share:

3.       The  inventories  balance at March 31, 1998  includes raw  materials of
         $205,379  and work in process of $13,781.  The  inventories  balance at
         December  31, 1997  included  raw  materials  of  $179,604  and work in
         process of $13,763.  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.       At March 31, 1998, the Company had NOL  carryforwards  of approximately
         $5.25 million for federal income tax purposes.  Such NOL carryforwards,
         if not used as offsets to future taxable income,  will expire beginning
         in 1998 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.

ITEM 2   MANAGEMENT'S 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. 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
March 31, 1998, the Company had a working  capital surplus of $126,950 and a net
capital deficit of $620,956.


                    1st QUARTER 1998 - RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The  Company  lost  $286,265 on revenues of $603,486 in the three month
period  ended March 31,  1998.  In the first  quarter of 1997 the  Company  lost
$177,850  on  revenues of  $821,160.  The loss for the first  quarter of 1997 is
shown net of the income tax  benefit of  $109,005.  This  income tax benefit had
been  recorded  based on the  Company's  expectation  of income to be  generated
during the balance of the year ended December 31, 1997.


                              LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL

                  Backlog  was  $1,104,039  and  $227,422  at March 31, 1998 and
December 31, 1997,  respectively.  Also, on April 24, 1998, the Company received
an additional order for $1,500,000.
         The Company devotes substantially all of its manufacturing  capacity to
a large  contract  when the  equipment  for that  contract  is being  built.  In
addition,  since the  Company  is  presently  unable to obtain  bonding on large
projects,  the Company has and will need to continue to arrange surety bonds and
financial  guarantees  through  entities  having an interest in those  projects.
Historically,  a  significant  portion  of  the  Company's  revenues  have  been
comprised of a relatively small number of large sales, generally not to the same
customer,  resulting from the  manufacture of large waste disposal and pollution
control systems.
         The  financial  crises  which  occurred  in  Asia  during  1997  are  a
significant  concern  to the  Company  as it is a region  that the  Company  has
targeted  for future  growth.  The Company  believes  that the current  economic
crises will slow  business  in Asia in 1998,  but that sales in this region will
increase  in  future  years and  remain  strong in the  long-term.  The  Company
believes  that the  recent  regulations  promulgated  by the U.S.  Environmental
Protection  Agency  (USEPA) will increase  customer  demand in certain  domestic
markets. Because of the downturn in Asian markets and new USEPA regulations, the
Company has  concentrated  its current  marketing  efforts on selected  domestic
markets.  Management  anticipates  that 1998  revenues  will be  derived  almost
exclusively from North American contracts.
         Management  believes that revenues  from current year  operations  will
provide sufficient cash flows to meet its cash requirements during 1998.

                          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 3/31/9
                              COMPARED WITH 3/31/97


         Revenues  Revenues  decreased  $218,000 or 26.5% from  $821,000 for the
first quarter of 1997 to $603,000 for the first quarter of 1998. The decrease in
revenues for the first  quarter of 1998 is  primarily  the result of the lack of
adequate  marketing during the bankruptcy  period as well as the economic crises
in much of Asia during the second half of 1997. 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 Costs of Goods Sold  decreased  by $181,000 or 25.1%
from $720,000 for the first quarter of 1997 to $539,000 for the first quarter of
1998.  The gross margin of $102,000 for the first  quarter of 1997 compares to a
gross  margin of $65,000 for the first  quarter of 1998.  The gross  margin rate
decreased  from  12.4%  for the  first  quarter  of 1997 to 10.7%  for the first
quarter of 1998.  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  Selling,  general and
administrative  expenses  decreased  by $81,000 or 26.8% from  $302,000  for the
first quarter of 1997 to $221,000 for the first quarter of 1998. The majority of
the  decrease,  approximately  $50,000,  is related  to a decrease  in sales and
marketing expenses, including professional fees and travel. In addition, general
and  administrative  expenses  decreased by approximately  $31,000 primarily the
result of  reductions  in legal and printing  costs.  These costs were  incurred
during the first quarter of 1997 as a result of the Company's name change.

         Interest Expense  Interest  expense  increased by $46,000 or 61.8% from
$75,000 for the first quarter of 1997 to $121,000 for the first quarter of 1998.
The  increase  for the first  quarter of 1998 is the net  result of an  increase
related to additional  senior debt incurred during 1997 and offset by a decrease
in the interest on the Company's capital lease and other long-term debt.
