INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Ogden 401(k) Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of The Ogden 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, 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, 1997
and 1996, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules listed in the
Table of Contents are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are
not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. These schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Such
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of
the basic 1997 financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in
all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

THE OGDEN 401(k) PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The accounting and reporting policies followed in the preparation of the
     financial statements of The Ogden 401(k) 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 - Effective June 3, 1996, the Plan retained the
          American Express Trust Company to serve as the Trustee (the
          "Trustee") of the Plan's assets. Prior to this date, the Plan's
          assets were held in a master trust by the Bank of New York Trust
          Company (the "Predecessor Trustee") as trustee for the benefit
          of various Ogden Corporation subsidiary plans. During 1997 and
          1996, the Plan included the following funds in which
          participants could elect to invest their Plan assets:

          o    Equity Fund - Investments in a diversified portfolio of equity
               securities.

          o    Stock Fund - Investments in common stock of Ogden Corporation.

          o    Fiduciary Capital Management Fixed Income Fund ("Fixed Income
               Fund") - Investment contracts with insurance companies and banks
               which provide for a guaranteed return on principal invested over
               a specified time period.

          o    Merrill Lynch Treasury Fund ("Treasury Fund") - Investments in
               U.S. Treasury bills and notes generally with maturities of one
               year or less.

          o    Fidelity Magellan Mutual Fund ("Magellan Fund") - Investments in
               a mutual fund consisting primarily of common stocks and
               securities convertible to common stock, under the management of
               Fidelity Investments.

          o    T. Rowe Price International Stock Fund ("International Fund") -
               Investments in a mutual fund consisting of stocks of established,
               non-U.S. companies under the management of T. Rowe Price
               Associates.

          o    American Express Equity Index Fund II ("AMEX Equity Fund") -
               Investments in a collective trust consisting of a diversified
               portfolio of equity securities under the management of American
               Express Trust Company.

          o    IDS Mutual Fund Balanced Portfolio ("IDS Balanced Fund") -
               Investments in a mutual fund consisting primarily of common
               stock, preferred stock and debt securities under the management
               of IDS Mutual.

          o    Templeton Foreign Fund ("Templeton Fund") - Investments in a
               mutual fund consisting primarily of established, non-U.S.
               companies under the management of Templeton Associates.

<PAGE>


          During 1997, the Plan announced the addition of the following funds in
          which participants could elect to invest their Plan assets:

          o    IDS Growth Fund ("IDS Growth Fund")--Investments in a mutual
               fund seeking to provide long-term growth of capital primarily in
               growth, improving, and technology companies.

          o    IDS New Dimensions Fund ("IDS Dimensions Fund")--Investments in
               a mutual fund which invests primarily in common stocks of U.S.
               and foreign companies in which economic and technical changes may
               take place.

          o    U.S. Government Securities Fund II ("Government Securities Fund")
               --Investments in a collective money market fund, managed to
               provide maximum current income consistent with conserving capital
               and maintaining high liquidity.

          Also, during 1997, the Plan announced that the following funds would
          no longer be offered as investment options:

          o    Merrill Lynch Treasury Fund

          o    Fidelity Magellan Mutual Fund

     b.   Investment Valuation--Investments in securities listed on national
          securities exchanges are valued at the closing composite prices
          published for the last business day of the year. Other investments in
          securities are stated at fair value as determined by the Trustee.
          Investments in guaranteed investment contracts included in the Fixed
          Income Fund are stated at cost plus accrued income. Investments in the
          Treasury Fund are stated at cost plus accrued income which
          approximates fair value.

     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 market 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.

     d.   United States Federal Income Taxes--The Internal Revenue Service has
          determined and informed the Company by letter dated June 14, 1995 that
          the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with the
          applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). The
          Plan Administrator believes that the plan is currently 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.

     e.   Use of Estimates--The preparation of the 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 at the date of the financial
          statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
          the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
          estimates.

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.


                                       5
<PAGE>


     a.   General Information - Effective June 3, 1996, the Company changed the
          Plan name from the Ogden Profit Sharing Plan to The Ogden 401(k) Plan.
          The Plan is an employee savings plan providing for both employer and
          employee contributions. The Plan was established as the Ogden Food
          Service Corporation Savings and Security Plan by Ogden Food Service
          Corporation on January 1, 1982. The Plan was amended and restated
          effective January 1, 1991 to conform with the Tax Reform Act of 1986.

          Subsequently, the Company amended and restated the plan again to
          comply with the requirements of:

          o    The Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1993

          o    The Unemployment Compensation Amendment of 1992

          o    Applicable revenue rulings and notices thereunder

          o    Miscellaneous administrative policies and procedures

          Other amendments have been made since the Plan's inception to reflect
          changes in the Plan name and participating Ogden subsidiaries and
          affiliates adopting the Plan. Participating companies in the Plan
          include:

          o    Ogden Services Corporation (the Sponsor of the Plan);

          o    Ogden Management Services, Inc.;

          o    All subsidiaries and affiliates of the participating companies
               which adopt the Plan.

     b.   Administration of the Plan--Administrative and Investment Committees
          are appointed by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Ogden
          Services Corporation (the "Company") and serve as fiduciaries of the
          Plan. The Administrative Committee has responsibility for
          administering the Plan and the Investment Committee has responsibility
          for reviewing 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--Full-time employees of participating companies who are
          not covered under a collective bargaining agreement with a recognized
          union and have attained age 21 are eligible to participate in the Plan
          on the first day of the calendar month following the date he or she
          has completed twelve months of employment and 1,000 hours of service.

     d.   Contributions--Participants may elect to contribute to the Plan from
          one to fifteen percent of their annual compensation on a pre-tax
          basis. For 1997 and 1996, participant pre-tax contributions could not
          exceed $10,000 and $9,500, respectively. The Company matches 100
          percent up to the first 3 percent of a participant's annual
          compensation for participants who are eligible and who elect to
          contribute.

          A participant's elective contributions and Company contributions are
          invested, at the direction of the participant, in accordance with one
          of the following options:

          o    100 percent in one of the Investment Funds; or

          o    in more than one Investment Fund allocated in multiples of five
               percent.


                                       6
<PAGE>


          If a participant does not make such an election, he or she is deemed
          to have elected investment in the Treasury Fund or the Government
          Securities Fund.

     e.   Loans to Participants--Loans are made to participants at a minimum of
          $500 and up to the lesser of fifty percent of the vested balance or
          $50,000 not to exceed the limitations of the Tax Reform Act of 1986.
          The terms of the loans are a minimum of 6 months and a maximum of 5
          years or 60 months (10 year maximum on loans for a primary residence).
          Participants are prohibited from borrowing funds accumulated in the
          Stock Fund. The interest rate charged is the Wall Street Journal's
          prime rate plus 1 percent as of the first business day of each month.

     f.   Vesting--Employees eligible to participate in the Plan on December 31,
          1990 remain 100 percent vested in all past and future Company
          contributions. Employees eligible to participate in the Plan after
          December 31, 1990 become 100 percent vested in Company contributions
          after 5 years of service.

          Participant contributions are immediately 100 percent vested.

     g.   Retirement Dates--A participant's normal retirement date is the
          participant's sixty-fifth birthday. A participant may elect early
          retirement at age 55 with 10 years of credited service.

     h.   Amendment or Discontinuance of the Plan--The Company expects to
          continue the Plan indefinitely, but reserves the right to modify,
          suspend or terminate the Plan at any time, which includes the right to
          vary the amount of, or to terminate, the Company's contributions to
          the Plan. In no event shall assets of the Plan be used for any purpose
          other than to benefit participants or beneficiaries. In the event of
          the Plan's termination or discontinuance of contributions thereunder,
          the interest of each participant to benefits accrued to such date, to
          the extent then funded, is fully vested and nonforfeitable.

     i.   Form of Benefits--Benefits are paid in one lump sum.

</TABLE>

     Loans to participants at December 31, 1997 and 1996, which comprise the
     Loan Fund, are reported at cost which approximates fair value.

     The Fixed Income Fund primarily invests in investment contracts providing a
     guaranteed return on principal invested over a specified time period. The
     crediting interest rates at December 31, 1997 and 1996 for the various
     investment contracts ranged from 4.82% to 8.16% and 4.75% to 8.16%,
     respectively. The average yields of the Fixed Income Fund for the years
     ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 were 6.36% and 6.44%, respectively. All
     investment contracts in the Fixed Income Fund are fully benefit-responsive
     and are recorded at contract value which equals principal plus accrued
     interest. If the investment contracts were reported at fair value, the
     investment contracts in the Fixed Income Fund would have approximated
     $29,051,310 at December 31, 1997 and the Plan's beneficial interest in the
     Fixed Income Fund would have approximated $35,122,438 at December 31, 1996.

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, 1997
and 1996, 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 as of December 31,
1997 and 1996, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules listed in the
Table of Contents are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are
not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. These schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Such
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of
the basic 1997 financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in
all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

               established, non-U.S. companies, under the management of T. Rowe
               Price Associates.

          Effective May 1996 the monies invested in the Fixed Income Fund were
          invested in the American Express Trust Income Fund II.

          o    American Express Trust Income Fund II ("Amex Fund")--Investments
               in the Amex Fund, consisting primarily of insurance investment
               contracts, bank investment contracts, stable value contracts and
               short-term investments under the management of American Express.

          Prior to January 1, 1997, the Plan's beneficial interest in the Ogden
          Corporation Profit Sharing Group Trust (the "Trust") represented its
          share of the master trust assets held by The Bank of New York Trust
          Company as trustee (the "Previous Trustee") for the benefit of various
          Ogden Corporation subsidiary plans (see Note 3). The common stock of
          Ogden Corporation held as a result of investments in the Stock Fund
          was held on behalf of the Trust by the Previous Trustee.

          Shares in group trust funds were 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, realized and


                                       4
<PAGE>


          unrealized gains and losses, and administrative expenses were 
          determined monthly on the basis of each plan's proportionate share in
          the Trust assets stated at fair value.

          Effective January 1, 1997, the Plan was no longer invested in the
          Trust. The Plan's beneficial interest in the Trust on that date was
          transferred to T. Rowe Price Trust Company as the new trustee (the
          "Trustee"). In addition the following funds in which participants
          could elect to invest their plan assets changed: The Equity Fund was
          transferred to the T. Rowe Price Equity Income Fund ("Equity Income
          Fund"), which invests in a diversified portfolio of equity securities;
          and the Amex fund was transferred to the T. Rowe Price Stable Value
          Fund ("Stable Value Fund"), which primarily invests in guaranteed
          investment contracts, bank investment contracts and structured
          investment contracts. All other investment funds remained in tact.
          Also, effective January 1, 1997, the T. Rowe Price Balanced Fund
          ("Balanced Fund"), which invests in equity securities and fixed income
          securities, was added.

          The Stable Value Fund primarily invests in investment contracts
          providing a guaranteed return on principal invested over a specified
          time period. The credited interest rates at December 31, 1997 for the
          various investment contracts ranged from 4.77% to 8.41%. The average
          yields of the Stable Value Fund for the year ended December 31, 1997
          was 6.26%. All investment contracts in the Stable Value Found are
          fully benefit responsive and are recorded at contract 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 guaranteed
          investment contracts included in the Stable Value Fund are stated at
          contract value. Investments in the Treasury Fund are stated at cost
          plus investment income which approximates fair value. 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.

     d.   United States Federal Income Taxes--The Plan is intended to be
          qualified under Section 401(a) and tax exempt under Section 501(a) of
          the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). The Plan received a favorable
          determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated June 16,
          1995. 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.

     e.   Distributions to Participants--Benefits are recorded when paid.

     f.   General--The financial statements are prepared in conformity with
          generally accepted accounting principles. These principles require
          management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
          amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
          statements, and the reported amounts of changes in net assets
          available for benefits during the reporting period. Actual results
          could differ from those estimates.

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 is appointed
          by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Ogden Corporation ("Ogden")
          and serves as a fiduciary of the Plan. The Administrative Committee
          has general responsibility for the administration and interpretation
          of the Plan.

          Prior to November 1, 1997, the Ogden Corporate Investment Committee
          had the authority to appoint investment advisors and to review the
          performance of the investment portfolio. Effective November 1, 1997,
          the OPI Investment Committee was established and charged with
          appointing investment advisors and reviewing the performance of the
          investment portfolio. Costs related to the administration of the Plan
          are paid by the participants out of Plan assets.

     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 coinciding 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 employer contributions to 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>
                                                                     Percent
                 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 


                                       6
<PAGE>


          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 1997 and 1996,
          participant pre-tax contributions could not exceed $9,500 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 such as (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) to pay post-secondary
          educational expenses for the participant, spouse, children or
          dependents.

     g.   Payments from the Plan's Trust--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. 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, 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 lesser 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)
          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 for any
          purpose other than for 


                                       7
<PAGE>


          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.

          The Company expects to continue the Plan indefinitely, but reserves
          the right to suspend contributions or to modify or terminate the Plan
          at any time. Upon termination of the Plan or discontinuance of
          contributions thereunder, the interest of each participant is fully
          vested and nonforfeitable.

3.   INVESTMENTS

     Prior to January 1, 1997, the Plan participated in the Trust with other
     Ogden Corporation subsidiary plans. Effective June 3, 1996 certain Ogden
     Corporation subsidiary plans withdrew their beneficial interest from the
     Trust. The following is a summary of the Trust's investments as prepared by
     the Previous Trustee and the Plan's beneficial interest in such investments
     at December 31, 1996:
