         December  31, 1996.  The results of  operations  for the periods  ended
         March 31, 1997 and 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the operating
         results for the full year.

         Organization

         The Company was in the development stage from incorporation in October,
         1982 to  September  30, 1990.  Activities  through  September  30, 1990
         principally  consisted of organizing the Company,  issuing common stock
         for cash,  services,  and equipment,  negotiation of license agreements
         and incurring research and development  costs. All costs,  except those
         associated  with  the  license  agreements,   patents,  trademarks  and
         equipment  costs,  were  expensed  as incurred  during the  development
         stage. In December, 1990, the Company sold its assets and all rights to
         the non-electric dishwasher for a note receivable and future royalties.
         During 1990, the Company began performing sludge de-watering operations
         through its Transportable Treatment Unit (TTU) and was taken out of the
         development  stage for accounting  purposes.  The revenue  generated in
         1990 was from the  Environmental  Services  Division and the TTU. There
         was no  revenue  generated  in 1991  from the  TTU.  1992  revenue  was
         generated  through the  Environmental  Services  Division.  Since 1992,
         there have been no operating revenues through the date of this Report.

         Reorganization

         Effective  March 8, 1994 the  Company  reorganized  via a merger with a
         newly formed Nevada corporation whose name became Hart Industries, Inc.
         at the  effective  date.  The  Merger  Agreement  was  approved  by the
         Company's  stockholders at the Annual Meeting held on January 18, 1994.
         Under the Merger Agreement each  shareholder  received one share in the
         Nevada  corporation  for every twenty  shares held in the Company.  Any
         fractional  shares  resulting  from the merger  were  rounded up to the
         nearest  whole  share.  As a  result  of  the  merger,  the  number  of
         authorized   shares  of  common  stock  increased  from  10,000,000  to
         50,000,000  while retaining the same $.01 par value.  All share and per
         share amounts have been restated to give effect to the merger.

         Going Concern

         The Company  has  incurred  recurring  net  losses,  a working  capital
         deficiency,  has limited liquid resources,  and no current  operations.
         Management's  intent is to keep  searching  for  additional  sources of
         capital and new operating  opportunities.  In the interim,  the Company
         will  keep  operating  with  minimal  overhead  and key  administrative
         functions   will  be  provided  by  an  affiliate.   Accordingly,   the
         accompanying   financial  statements  have  been  presented  under  the
         assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern.

         Reclassification of Prior Year Amounts

         To enhance  comparability,  the fiscal 1996 financial  statements  have
         been  reclassified,  where  appropriate,  to conform with the financial
         statement presentation used in fiscal 1997.

Note 2.           Business Condition

         The Company has  experienced  negative  cash  outflows  from  operating
         activities  through 1992 and ceased  operations in March 1992, prior to
         capital restructuring and change in management. Cash contributions from
         its then affiliates  provided the financial  support  necessary for the
         Company to satisfy its  obligations  through 1992.  Since January 1993,
         NuVen Advisors Inc., an affiliate ("NuVen"), has provided financial and
         administrative  support  for  the  Company's  operations.  The  Company
         expects to receive continued financial and administrative  support from
         NuVen until a new business opportunity is acquired or developed.  As of
         the date of this Report,  the Company has no  operations,  however,  is
         continuing to seek new opportunities.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

         Results of Operations

              Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 Compared to Three Months Ended
              March 31, 1996

              There were no  operations  during the three months ended March 31,
         1997. As a result there were no operating  revenues or cost of revenues
         recorded during the three months ended March 31, 1997.

              The Registrant's general and administrative  expenses were $54,144
         for the three months  ended March 31, 1997,  as compared to $58,584 for
         the  same  period  last  year.  General  and  administrative   expenses
         consisted  primarily of  continued  professional  services  provided by
         consultants under professional advisory and management agreements.

         Liquidity and Capital Resources

              The Registrant has continued to incur net losses and negative cash
         flows  from  operating  activities.  The  Registrant  had cash and cash
         equivalents  of  approximately  $520 and $242 as of March 31, 1997, and
         December  31,  1996,  respectively,  and  negative  working  capital of
         $345,829  and  $291,685 as of March 31,  1997,  and  December 31, 1996,
         respectively.  The increase in working  capital  deficiency is a direct
         result  of  the  Registrant  incurring  professional,   consulting  and
         advisory  services and other overhead  during the first three months of
         fiscal year 1997. As of the date of this Report,  the Registrant has no
         material  commitments for capital  expenditures  and no commitments for
         additional equity or debt financing, and no assurances can be made that
         its  working  capital  needs  can be met out of  future  operations  or
         borrowing.

              As  a  result  of  the  Registrant  having  no  revenue  producing
         activities,  the  Registrant  has  limited  cash and  cash  equivalents
         remaining  as of March 31,  1997,  to finance  future  operations.  The
         Registrant has received  financial  support from NuVen and is dependent
         upon NuVen for future  working  capital.  The  Registrant's  plan is to
         continue searching for additional sources of equity and working capital
         and new  operating  opportunities.  In the  interim,  the  Registrant's
         existence is dependent upon continuing financial support from NuVen for
         the remainder of fiscal year 1997.  Such conditions  raise  substantial
         doubt about the Registrant's ability to continue as a going concern.

                                                           [HART\10Q:HRT33197]-4
