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, 1999 and 1998, 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 auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. 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, 1999
and 1998, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years
then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.

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 1999 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, 1999 AND 1998
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.    DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

      The following is a brief description of The Ogden 401(k) Plan ("the
      Plan"). Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete
      information.

      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:

            -     The Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1993

            -     The Unemployment Compensation Amendment of 1992

            -     Applicable revenue rulings and notices thereunder

            -     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:

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

            -     Ogden Management Services, Inc.;

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

            Effective January 1, 1999, the Plan was amended as a result of
            several administrative and plan design changes. The sponsor of the
            Plan, Ogden Services Corporation (the "Company"), determined that it
            would be in the best interest of Ogden Resource Recovery Support
            Services, Inc. and ADT Global Services, Inc. (collectively, "Prior
            Participating Companies"), and their employees, to establish
            separate defined contribution plans. Effective January 1, 1999, the
            Plan assets of the Prior Participating Companies were transferred
            from the Plan to the Resource Recovery 401(k) Plan and ADT Global
            Services 401(k) Plan, respectively.

      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

                                       4
<PAGE>


            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 and part-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 1999 and 1998, participant pre-tax contributions
            could not exceed $10,000. The Company matches 100 percent up to the
            first 3 percent of a participant's annual compensation which is
            invested based on participant investment elections. On January 1,
            1999, the Company implemented an additional company match of 50
            percent up to the next 2 percent of a participant's annual
            compensation in Ogden Stock for participants who are eligible and
            who elect to contribute. Plan participants can reallocate the
            Company's Ogden Stock contributions to different investment
            elections at age 55 or older.

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

            -     100 percent in one of the Investment Funds; or

            -     in more than one Investment Fund allocated in multiples of 1
                  percent.

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

      e.    LOANS TO PARTICIPANTS - Loans are made to participants at a minimum
            of $500 and up to the lesser of 50 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 maximum number of loans
            outstanding at one time for an employee is two. The interest rate
            charged is The Wall Street Journal's prime rate plus 1 percent.

      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.    FORM OF BENEFITS - Benefits are paid in one lump sum.

                                       5

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      The accounting and reporting policies followed in the preparation of the
      financial statements of 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 1999 and 1998,
            the Plan included the following funds in which participants could
            elect to invest their Plan assets:

            -     OGDEN STOCK FUND ("Stock Fund") - Investments in common stock
                  of Ogden Corporation, but does maintain a small cash balance
                  invested in a money market fund for liquidity purposes.

            eliminates the previous requirement for a defined contribution plan
            to present investments by general type for participant-directed
            investments in the statement of net asset available for benefits,
            total number of units and the net assets value per unit during the
            period. SOP 99-3 is effective for plan years beginning after
            December 15, 1999, however early adoption is encouraged. The plan
            elected early adoption of SOP 99-3 for the year ended December 31,

      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, 1999 and 1998 for the various
      investment contracts ranged from 7.74% to 4.82% and 8.16% to 4.82%,
      respectively. The average yields of the Fixed Income Fund for the years
      ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 were 6.91% and 7.17%, 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
      $7,346,721 at December 31, 1999.

5.    PLAN TERMINATION

      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.

      In September 1999, Ogden Corporation, the parent of the Company adopted a
      plan to dispose of its Aviation and Entertainment businesses.

6.    TAX STATUS

      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.

7.    SALES OF PARTICIPATING COMPANIES

      During June of 1998, the Plan sponsor, Ogden Services Corporation, sold
      the in-flight catering business. Some of the participants in the Plan were
      employees of such business and became employees of the purchaser. During
      September of 1999, the participant accounts of affected employees were
      transferred to another plan sponsored by the purchaser.
