           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
  (f) Bond Issuance Costs
 
     Bond issuance costs are recorded at cost and amortized over the life of the
associated debt using the effective interest method.
 
  (g) Other Assets
 
     Patents, which are included in other assets, are recorded at cost and
amortized over a fifteen-year period using the straight-line method. Also
included in other assets as of December 31, 1994 is the noncurrent portion of a
note receivable, which approximates $87,000 at December 31, 1994 (see note 2).
 
  (h) Income Taxes
 
     In January 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 (FAS 109), Accounting for Income Taxes. The adoption of FAS
109 changed the Company's method of accounting for income taxes from the
deferred method to an asset and liability approach. The asset and liability
approach requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the
expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial
carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. In 1992, deferred
income taxes were provided in accordance with Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 11 (APB 11). Under APB 11, deferred income taxes were provided for
timing differences in reporting income and expenses for financial statement
purposes and for tax purposes.
 
  (i) Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
 
     Net income or loss per common share is computed on the weighted average
number of common shares and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding each
year. Outstanding stock options, warrants, and conversion rights are common
stock equivalents but are excluded in 1993 from the calculation of loss per
common share since the effect would be antidilutive. Primary and fully diluted
earnings per share are the same in 1994 and 1992.
 
     Net income or loss is adjusted by the effect of undeclared dividends on
preferred stock of $142,502, $142,502, and $142,895 for the years ended December
31, 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively. The effect was to: (1) reduce the net
income per common share by .02 in 1994; (2) increase the net loss per common
share by .03 in 1993; and (3) reduce the net income per common share by .03 in
1992.
 
  (j) Statements of Cash Flows
 
     Capital lease obligations of $192,274, $156,906 and $236,093 were incurred
in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, when the Company entered into leases for
new machinery and equipment.
 
     The Company paid $377,558, $370,888, and $370,927 for interest in 1994,
1993, and 1992, respectively.
 
     No federal income taxes were paid during 1994, 1993 or 1992.
 
  (k) Reclassifications
 
     Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
current year presentation.
 
(2) NOTE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES
 
     During 1994, the Company sold equipment for $300,000. The terms of the sale
included a down payment of $100,000, followed by a $75,000 payment due March 10,
1995, with the remaining $125,000 to be paid over a two-year term beginning
April 10, 1995, at $5,000 per month plus interest at a rate of 9% per annum. Of
the amount due March 10, 1995, $50,000 was received by that date. The current
portion ($113,000) of the note is

(7) INVESTMENT IN WASTE RECOVERY -- ILLINOIS
 
     Waste Recovery -- Illinois was formed to jointly build and operate two
tire-derived fuel processing facilities in Dupo and Marseilles, Illinois. The
facilities will cost approximately $5 million each and are scheduled to be in
operation by mid 1995. Waste Recovery -- Illinois has a five year contract to
supply Illinois Power Company with 60,000 tons of TDF annually which represents
50% of the facilities' estimated production capacity.
 
     Waste Recovery -- Illinois completed the sale of $8.875 million in solid
waste disposal revenue bonds as of September 27, 1994. The proceeds of the bonds
are being used to finance the construction of the two facilities. The Company is
guarantor on the bonds and, as manager of the Illinois partnership, is subject
to receive administrative fees of $4,000 per month plus a management fee based
on net income, as defined. No such fees are collectible by the Company until
actual operations of the Illinois partnership have begun.
 
     At December 31, 1994, the Company's investment in the Illinois partnership
includes costs and expenses incurred by WRI which were not reimbursable to the
Company under the terms of the Illinois partnership

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
     No transactions occurred during the year ended December 31, 1994.
 
     At the 1992 Annual Meeting, the shareholders approved the 1992 Stock Plan
for Non-Employee Directors. Pursuant to such plan, non-employee directors of the
Company receive annually (1) after the annual meeting, a stock option to
purchase 2,500 shares of common stock so long as the Company's net income for
the fiscal year just ended improved over the prior year, and (2) in January, a
common stock grant valued at $2,000 for service as a director if attendance
criteria are met. Such plan terminates January 31, 2000 and 250,000 shares were
reserved by the Company for grants thereunder. Under this plan, 4,361 and 10,664
shares were issued for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
 
     In connection with the formation of Waste Recovery Partners, Ltd., the
Company granted the general partner of KCT (see note 12) warrants to purchase
300,000 shares of common stock for investment banking services and 25,000 shares
of common stock at $.01/share for financial advisory services. Both warrants
were exercised in February 1994.
 
(14) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
     In 1990, the Company issued 203,580 shares of 7% cumulative preferred stock
redeemable at the Company's option for $10 per share. No dividends were declared
or paid on such preferred stock in 1994, 1993 or 1992. Accordingly, dividends in
arrears on cumulative preferred stock aggregated $653,322 at December 31, 1994
which represents $3.21 per share of such stock outstanding. Dividends on
cumulative preferred stock have been added to net loss or deducted from net
income for purposes of computing per common share amounts.
 
     On February 20, 1990, trading of the stock of the Company was suspended by
the NASDAQ System. This suspension of trading occurred since the Company failed
to meet the NASDAQ capital and surplus requirements pursuant to paragraph
1(c)(3) of Part II of Schedule D of the NASD by-laws. The Company has applied
for relisting on the NASDAQ System. The Company's stock is currently traded in
the over-the-counter market.
 
(15) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
     The Company received fees of $556,000 in 1994, $515,000 in 1993, and
$1,098,000 in 1992 for accepting and hauling scrap tires from a significant
stockholder. In 1994 and 1993, in lieu of directors' fees, 4,361 and 10,664
shares of the Company's common stock were issued to the outside directors,
respectively. The Company incurred $60,000 in consulting fees to certain
directors for assistance with the sale of the Waste Recovery -- Illinois bonds.
Included in accounts payable at December 31, 1994, is $81,083 due to Waste
Recovery -- Illinois.
 
     For the year ended December 31, 1992, $225,000 is included in other income
which was generated from a Joint Market Evaluation Agreement with NIPSCO
Development Company, Inc., now an affiliate of the Waste Recovery-Illinois
partnership.
 
(16) INCOME TAXES
 
     Upon adoption of FAS 109 at January 1, 1993, a gross deferred tax asset of
approximately $2,889,000 was recorded which primarily related to the future tax
benefits of net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $6,200,000 which
expire in 2000 -- 2005 and excess book over tax depreciation. Should certain
changes occur in the Company's ownership, there could be an annual limitation on
the amount of net operating loss available to offset taxable income. Upon
adoption, the Company believed that it was more likely than not that a
significant portion of the deferred tax asset would not be realizable and
recorded a valuation allowance of approximately $2,807,000 against the deferred
tax assets. The deferred tax assets are considered realizable only to the extent
they offset deferred tax liabilities on that date of approximately $82,000. The

(18) BUSINESS AND CREDIT CONCENTRATIONS
 
     The Company's customers are located in the Northwestern, the Southwestern
and the Southeastern United States. The Company derived revenues of $556,000,
$515,000 and $1,098,000 during the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively, for accepting and hauling scrap tires from a significant
stockholder. Five additional customers accounted for significant Company sales
for the years ended December 31:

</TABLE>
 
     In addition to these customers, which are all significant entities, the
Company does business with a variety of companies with diverse credit risk. The
Company does not generally require collateral or other security from its
customers and has historically encountered very little loss on its receivables.
 
(19) PROFIT SHARING PLAN
 
     Effective January 1, 1995, the Company adopted the Waste Recovery, Inc.,
401(k) Plan (the Plan), a defined contribution plan. Employees who have
completed six months of service and have attained the age of twenty-one are
eligible to become participants in the Plan. Participants may contribute up to
15% of their compensation, as defined, annually. Company contributions to the
Plan are determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
 
(20) LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES
 
     The Company is a party to certain lawsuits which are generally incidental
to its business. Management does not believe the ultimate resolution of such
matters will have a significant effect on the Company's financial position and,
therefore, no liabilities have been recorded in the accompanying financial
statements.
 
     Like other waste management companies, the Company's operations are subject
to extensive and changing federal and state environmental regulations governing
emissions into the atmosphere, wastewater discharges, solid and hazardous waste
management activities and site restoration and abandonment activities. As of
December 31, 1994, no such costs had been accrued and management does not
believe the affects of the aforementioned activities will have a material effect
on the Company's financial statements.
 
(21) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
     (a) Effective March 21, 1995, WRI acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of
Domino Salvage, Tire Division, Inc., (Domino), a scrap tire recycling company
located in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia. WRI will be
investing approximately $500,000 over the next six months into Domino to bring
Domino's scrap tire recycling capacity up to 5 million passenger tire
equivalents (PTE's) per year.

                           WASTE RECOVERY -- ILLINOIS
                       (AN ILLINOIS GENERAL PARTNERSHIP)
 
                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
  (g) Construction in Progress
 
     Construction of the Illinois plants began in 1994; completion for Dupo is
scheduled for June 1995; completion for Marseilles is scheduled for July 1995.
The costs being incurred to build the plants and equipment are being capitalized
as construction in progress until the projects are completed and individual
assets can be identified, at which time, the assets will be reclassified into
property, plant and equipment and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
 
  (h) Bond Issuance Costs
 
     Bond issuance costs are recorded at cost and amortized over the life of the
associated debt using the amount of bonds outstanding method.
 
  (i) Other Assets
 
     Other assets are recorded at cost and consist mainly of prepaid, additional
rent in the amount of $50,000 for the land at the Dupo plant which is being
amortized over the term of the lease, and bank finance fees, which are being
amortized over the term of the bonds.
 
  (j) Deferred Grant Revenue
 
     The Partnership has an agreement whereby it is eligible to receive a total
of $1,000,000 in grants from the State of Illinois upon the successful
completion of certain equipment at the Illinois plants. As of December 31, 1994,
the Partnership had received $800,000 from these grants. The grant money
received will be amortized, beginning when the plants are placed in operation
and the related equipment is in acceptable working condition, through the term
of the grants, which is July 31, 1999. The remaining $200,000 is eligible to be
received when the specified equipment has been completed and is operational.
 
  (k) Income Taxes
 
     No provision or credit for federal income taxes has been made because

     Kerr, Connors & Co., its partners John C. Kerr and Crandall S. Connors, and
     certain other persons (the "Kerr, Connors Group"), filed with the
     Securities and Exchange Commission as a group. Such Schedule 13D stated

     duration with respect to the voting and transfer of such stock. The group
     ownership reported is based on such Schedule 13D and independent
     information of the Company. Messrs. Kerr and Connors, and certain other
