                     NYTEST ENVIRONMENTAL INC. & SUBSIDIARY
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AND 1994 (UNAUDITED)
                         AND DECEMBER 31, 1994 (AUDITED)

NOTE 1.  COMPANY'S OPINION ON UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited financial statements
contain all ordinary and necessary adjustments to present fairly the balance
sheet as of September 30, 1995, the related statements of operations and cash
flows for each of the nine month periods ended September 30, 1995 and September
30, 1994, and the related statements of operations for each of the three month
periods ended September 30, 1995 and September 30,1994. The balance sheet as of
December 31, 1994 is audited.

The statement of operations for the period ended September 30, 1995 is not 
necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.

NOTE 2.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements at September 30, 1995, and
for the three and nine month periods then ended, include the effects of the
Company's new wholly owned subsidiary which commenced operations on 
August 5, 1995. See Note 3 below.

NOTE 3.  ACQUISITION

On July 17, 1995, the Company organized NEI of Pennsylvania, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("NEIP"), as a wholly owned subsidiary to acquire and operate a
testing laboratory in Norristown, Pennsylvania. Effective August 5, 1995, NEIP
acquired from BCM Engineers, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Smith
Environmental Technologies Corporation ("Smith"), certain assets comprising an
environmental testing laboratory in Norristown, Pennsylvania.

The Company has been unable, to date, to obtain from Smith the interim financial
information for periods prior to this acquisition, and, accordingly, has not
presented pro forma sales and earnings information for the periods prior to
acquisition.

NOTE 4.  SETTLEMENT OF NEW YORK STATE SALES AND USE TAX AUDIT

On August 31, 1995, the Company concluded the New York State sales and use tax
audit. The final assessment, including interest, was adequately reserved for and
had no impact on the current period operations.

NOTE 5.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On November 6, 1995, the Company has signed a letter of intent to acquire
certain assets of GTEL Environmental Laboratories, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Groundwater Technology, Inc. The transaction is subject to certain
conditions including execution of a definitive agreement and is expected to be
completed before the end of the year.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS (THE ACCOMPANYING DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS INCLUDES THE
         FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE COMPANY'S SUBSIDIARY WHICH COMMENCED
         OPERATIONS ON AUGUST 5, 1995)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 totaled $
4,619,049 which were $ 347,695 or 8.1% higher than the $ 4,271,354 for the
corresponding period last year. Consolidated revenues for the three months
ending September 30, 1995 totaled $ 1,520,501 or 8.0% lower than the same period
in 1994. This variance in the three months was due to the overall sluggishness
in the industry resulting from the anticipated federal budget cutbacks which was
only partially offset by revenue of the Company's new subsidiary of $329,403 in
the current period.

Despite the aforementioned sluggishness, the Company's backlog at October 31,
1995 was $ 657,000, an increase of $ 144,000 compared to July 31, 1995.
Additionally, the Company has entered into contracts to provide, upon request of
several clients, laboratory services having a potential value of up to $
2,700,000 at fixed prices. The actual dollar amount of laboratory services to be
performed pursuant to these contracts cannot be accurately predicted at the
present time and, accordingly, has not been included in the backlog computation.

Reflecting the Company's efforts to reduce expenses and control costs,
consolidated cost of operations for the nine months were 77.7% of revenues, as 
compared to 79.2% for the corresponding nine month period in 1994. For the 
three months ended September 30,1995, consolidated cost of operations were 
$ 1,430,970 an increase of $ 239,677 or 20.1 % compared to the three months 
ending September 30, 1994. The cost of operations for the three months ending 
September 30, 1995 were 94.1% of revenues, as compared to 72.1% for the 
corresponding three month period in 1994. The decline in profit margin was 
primarily due to the decline in sales volume during the quarter, which were
not offset by lower costs.

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses were $ 1,233,513 or
26.7% of revenues, for the nine month period in 1995, a decrease of $ 103,948 or
7.8% lower than the corresponding nine month period in 1994. For the three
months ended September 30, 1995, consolidated selling, general and
administrative expenses were $ 419,633 or 27.6% of revenues , a decrease of $
8,755 or 2% less than the corresponding period in 1994. These favorable
variances were brought about by reductions in salaries, reduced staff, and other
reductions in expenses.

The consolidated pre-tax loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was 
$ 289,030, a reduction of $230,097 from the loss of $ 519,127 incurred during
the nine months ended September 30, 1994. Consolidated net loss for the nine
months totaled $ 219,030 or $ 136,097 less than the corresponding period last
year.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS (THE ACCOMPANYING DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS INCLUDES THE
         FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE COMPANY'S SUBSIDIARY WHICH COMMENCED
         OPERATIONS ON AUGUST 5, 1995)

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's current ratio as of September 30, 1995 was 1.9 to 1, as compared
to 2.1 to 1 as of December 31, 1994. Working capital as of December 31, 1994 was
$ 1,598,153 and decreased to $ 1,327,920 as of September 30, 1995. This decrease
was primarily due to the reduction in accounts receivable as a result of
decreased revenues.

NET CASH PROVIDED BY OPERATING ACTIVITIES

The consolidated operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
provided net cash of $ 227,293 which is $ 50,332 less than the $ 277,625 in the
corresponding period one year ago. This decrease was principally due to reduced
collections of accounts receivable.

CASH FLOWS FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES

Consolidated capital expenditures totaled $ 119,314. Equipment and fixtures 
acquired under capital leases totaled $478,338, of which $ 315,338 were 
acquired by NEI of Pennsylvania, Inc.

CASH FLOWS FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES

Pursuant to a new $ 2,000,000 revolving line of credit with a bank,
approximately $ 1,236,000 was available to the Company as of September 30, 1995,
of which $ 604,000 was outstanding. This line of credit bears interest at the
rate of prime plus 3/4% per annum and is collateralized by all of the Company's
assets. Borrowings are principally limited to 75% of eligible accounts
receivable.

The Company anticipates that the cash generated by operations along with its new
borrowing capacity will be adequate to fund its current operations in 1995.

PROPOSED ACQUISITION

The Company has signed a letter of intent to acquire certain assets of GTEL
Environmental Laboratories, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Groundwater
Technology, Inc. The transaction is subject to certain conditions including
execution of a definitive agreement. The Company will require additional
financing and/or capital to finance the acquisition. The Company hopes to 
complete the acquisition before the end of the year.

MATERIAL COMMITMENTS

The Company has no other material commitments for capital expenditures.
