INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


Ogden Projects Profit Sharing Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net
assets available for benefits of the Ogden Projects
Profit Sharing Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31,
1993 and 1992 and the related statements of changes
in net assets available for benefits for the years
then ended.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards.  Those
standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the net assets
available for benefits of the Plan at December 31,
1993 and 1992 and the changes in net assets
available for benefits for the years then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

OGDEN PROJECTS PROFIT SHARING PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993 AND 1992


1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    The accounting and reporting policies followed
    in the preparation of the financial statements
    of the Ogden Projects Profit Sharing Plan (the
    "Plan") are in conformity with generally
    accepted accounting principles.  The following
    is a description of the more significant of
    these policies:

    a.  Investment Funds - During 1993, the Plan
        included the following funds in which
        participants could elect to invest their
        Plan assets:

            Equity Fund - Investments in a
            diversified portfolio of equity
            securities.
        
            Stock Fund - Investments in common
            stock of Ogden Corporation.
        
            Fixed Income Fund - Investment
            contracts with insurance companies and
            banks which provide for a guaranteed
            return on principal invested over a
            specified period of time.
        
            Merrill Lynch Treasury Fund ("Treasury
            Fund") - Investments in U.S. Treasury
            bills and notes generally with
            maturities of one year or less.

        The Plan's beneficial interest in the Ogden
        Corporation Profit Sharing Group Trust
        ("Trust") represents its share of the
        master trust assets held by the Bank of New
        York Trust Company as trustee for the
        benefit of various Ogden Corporation
        subsidiary plans.  The common stock of
        Ogden Corporation held as a result of
        investments in the Stock Fund is held in
        safekeeping at The Bank of New York Trust
        Company.

        Shares in group trust funds are determined
        on the basis of the initial asset
        contribution to the Trust by each
        participating plan, adjusted for subsequent
        contributions, distributions and allocated
        income and realized and unrealized gains
        and losses.  Allocation of income and
        realized and unrealized gains and losses is
        determined on the basis of each plan's
        proportionate share in the Trust assets
        stated at fair value.

    b.  Investment Valuation - Investments in
        securities listed on national securities
        exchanges are valued at closing composite
        prices published for the last business day
        of the year.  Investments in the treasury
        fund and fixed income fund are stated at
        cost plus investment income.  Other
        investments are stated at fair value as
        determined by the trustee.
    
    c.  Investment Transactions and Investment
        Income - Investment transactions are
        accounted for on the date purchases or
        sales are executed.  Realized and
        unrealized gains and losses are determined
        based on the fair value of assets at the
        beginning of the Plan year.
    
        Dividend income is accounted for on the ex-
        dividend date.  Interest income is recorded
        on the accrual basis as earned.  Total
        income of each fund is allocated monthly to
        participants' accounts within the fund
        based on the participants' relative
        balances at the beginning of the month,
        after adjusting for hardship withdrawals
        and loans made during the month.

    d.  United States Federal Income Taxes - The
        Plan obtained its latest determination letter
        on June 19, 1991, in which the Internal Revenue
        Service (the "IRS") stated that the Plan, as
        then designed, was in compliance with the
        applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue
        Code (the "Code").  The Plan has been amended
        since receiving the determination letter.  However,
        the Plan Administrator believes that the Plan is
        currently designed and being operated in compliance
        with the applicable requirements of the Code.
        Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been
        included in the Plan's financial statements.

2.  DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

    The following is a brief description of the
    Plan.  Participants should refer to the Plan
    document for more complete information.

    a.  General Information - The Plan is an
        employee savings plan providing for both
        employer and employee contributions.  The
        Plan includes pre-tax and after-tax savings
        features which are intended to qualify
        under Sections 401(k) and 401(a) of the
        Code, respectively.  The Plan is intended
        to conform with the requirements of the Tax
        Reform Act of 1986 (TRA) and the Technical
        and Miscellaneous Revenue Act of 1988
        (TAMRA).

    b.  Administration of the Plan - The
        Administrative Committee, which is
        appointed by the Board of Directors (the
        "Board") of Ogden Projects, Inc. (the
        "Company"), has responsibility for
        administration of the Plan and serves as a
        fiduciary of the Plan.  The Investment
        Committee is appointed by the Board and has
        the authority to appoint investment
        advisors.  The Investment Committee reviews
        the performance of the Plan's investments.
        Costs related to the administration of the
        Plan may be paid out of Plan assets if the
        Company does not pay such expenses
        directly.

    c.  Participation - Each employee who was, as
        of December 31, 1988, a participant in the
        Plan continued to be a participant if
        he/she was in the employ of the Company on
        such date.  Each other employee who
        performs an hour of service after December
        31, 1988 becomes a participant on the first
        day of the month coincident with or next
        following the earlier of (i) the last day
        of a period of 6 months of continuous
        employment and (ii) the close of (a) a
        twelve-month period if he/she has at least
        1,000 hours of service or (b) a Plan year
        during which he/she has at least 1,000
        hours of service.

    d.  Vesting - Vesting of Company contributions
        in the Plan is determined based on the
        period of vesting service by participants
        commencing on their date of hire to their
        date of termination of service in
        accordance with the following schedule:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

          Years of Vesting Service in the Plan               Vested
         <S>                                                    <C>
    
         Less than one year of vesting service                    0
         One but less than two years of vesting service          20
         Two but less than three years of vesting service        40
         Three but less than four years of vesting service       60
         Four but less than five years of vesting service        80
         Five or more years of vesting service                  100
</TABLE>

        Participant contributions are immediately 100 percent vested.

    e.  Contributions - Contributions paid by the
        Company are determined by the Board.  The
        Board's determination may be expressed in
        terms of a stated percentage of the
        Company's annual net profit, as a fixed
        dollar amount or as a percentage of total
        compensation paid to each participant.  The
        contribution may not exceed the amount
        deductible by the Company for Federal
        income tax purposes and may be made only
        out of its current or accumulated earnings
        and profits.  The allocation of the
        contributions to individual participants is
        based on the relationship of compensation
        paid to each participant to the
        compensation paid to all participants.
        Participants may contribute one to ten
        percent of their annual compensation on a
        pre-tax and/or after-tax basis.  For 1993
        and 1992, participant pre-tax contributions
        could not exceed $8,994 and $8,728,
        respectively, in accordance with IRS
        Regulations.

    f.  Distribution from the Plan Because of
        Hardship - Withdrawals are permitted if a
        participant establishes to the satisfaction
        of the Administrative Committee a financial
        need for funds for which there is no other
        money available (i) to purchase a primary
        residence, (ii) to pay uninsured medical
        expenses for the participant or immediate
        family, (iii) to prevent mortgage
        foreclosure on, or eviction from his/her
        primary residence or (iv) pay post-
        secondary educational expenses for the
        participant, spouse, children or
        dependents.
    
    g.  Payments from the Plan's Trust Fund - The
        value of a participant's interest in the
        Plan is payable upon retirement,
        disability, death, or termination of
        employment, as follows:
    
        i)  Upon termination of service of a
            participant on or after his/her
            retirement date or by reason of his/her
            death or disability, an amount equal to
            the value of the participant's account
            as of the valuation date next following
            the date of his/her termination of
            service, whether or not such
            participant has a vested interest in
            such account, is paid from the Trust
            Fund.  Participants may elect to
            receive the distribution valued as of
            any month after the date of termination
            of service but not later than the April
            1st of the year following the year the
            participant attains age 70-1/2.
        
        ii) Upon the termination of service of any
            participant which occurs other than on
            his/her retirement date and for any
            reason other than death or disability,
            the terminated participant is paid in a
            lump sum amount equal to the value, as
            of the valuation date coincident with
            or following the date of his/her
            termination of service, of his/her
            vested interest, if any, in his/her
            account.  Such payment is made to the
            participant as soon as practicable
            after his/her termination of service.
            Participants may elect to receive the
            distribution valued as of any month
            after the date of termination of
            service but not later than April 1st of
            the year following the year the
            participant attains age 70-1/2.
        
            Any benefit payable under the Plan
            pursuant to (i) above is paid as one
            lump sum payment from the Trust Fund,
            with a supplemental payment to be made
            as promptly as possible in respect to
            any contribution allocated to the
            participant's account for the Plan
            Year.
        
    h.  Loans - In accordance with Plan policy,
        participants can borrow against the vested
        portion of their account balance.
        Borrowings are limited to the lessor of
        $50,000 or 50 percent of the participant's
        vested balance (not to exceed certain
        limitations).  While such loans do not
        represent a reduction of the participant's
        account balance, participants are
        prohibited from receiving allocations
        (earnings and forfeitures) based on the
        loan amounts, although when the loans are
        repaid, the interest expense incurred by
        the participant is added to the
        participant's account balance.  The
        interest rate on such loans is the
        trustee's prime lending rate plus one
        percent.

    i.  Amendment, Suspension and Termination - The
        Board or the Administrative Committee may
        amend the Plan at any time.  No such
        amendment, however, may have the effect of
        diverting to the Company any part of the
        Plan or of diverting any part of the Plan
        to any purpose other than for the exclusive
        benefit of the participants.  Likewise, an
        amendment may not reduce the interest of
        any participant in the Plan accrued prior
        to such amendment.  The Board or the
        Administrative Committee may, however, make
        such amendments to the extent required to
        conform the Plan to ERISA or to maintain
        the continued qualified status of the Plan
        under the Internal Revenue Code.

        indefinitely, but reserves the right to

        terminate the Plan at any time.  Upon

        of contributions thereunder, the interest
        of each participant is fully vested and
        nonforfeitable.
