ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
         ------------------------------------

     On August 5, 1996, Recycling Industries of Iowa, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Registrant, acquired from Wesley  J. Weissman all of the
issued and outstanding capital stock of Weissman Industries, Inc., ("Weissman"),
a privately held metals recycler with operations in Waterloo, Iowa.  Weissman's
primary markets are midwestern steel mills.

     The assets owned by Weissman consist of a heavy-duty automovite shredder,
heavy equipment, tools and rolling stock used in the business of recycling
ferrous and non-ferrous metal.

     The total purchase price for Weissman was $12.4 million including $1.5
million paid in the form of 363,636 shares of the Registrant's common stock.
The $10.9 million cash portion of the purchase price was funded as follows:
approximately $5.2 million from the proceeds of the Registrant's public offering
which closed on July 23, 1996; $3.5 million from long term debt obtained from
Coast Business Credit, a division of Southern Pacific Thrift and Loan ("Coast")
secured by the equipment of Weissman; approximately $1.7 million of revolving
credit borrowings obtained from Coast; and $500,000 from the Company's cash
reserves.  The purchase price was determined through arms' length negotiations
and based upon an independent appraisal.

     The Registrant will continue the metals recycling operations of Weissman.

              REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Board of Directors Weissman Industries, Inc. Waterloo, Iowa
 
  We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Weissman Iron and Metal,
a Division of Weissman Industries, Inc. (the Division), as of December 31,
1995 and 1994 and the related statements of operations, changes in division
equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended
December 31, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Division'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 misstatements. 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Weissman Iron and Metal, a
Division of Weissman Industries Inc. as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the
three year period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 Activity
 
  Weissman Industries, Inc. was incorporated in January 1975 in the State of
Iowa. Weissman Iron and Metal, a division of Weissman Industries, Inc.
(Weissman) operates in the metals recycling industry (purchasing, processing,
selling and brokering ferrous and non-ferrous metals) with its operations
located in Waterloo, Iowa. Weissman operates one of three heavy duty
automotive shredders in Iowa. Processed scrap is sold to steel mill customers
located in or around Waterloo, Iowa.
 
 Agreement to Sell Weissman
 
  The stockholders of Weissman Industries, Inc. have signed an agreement with
Recycling Industries, Inc. (RII) to sell the business of Weissman to RII,
through the sale of all the outstanding stock of Weissman Industries, Inc.
Prior to the sale of stock to RII, Weissman Industries, Inc. sold its other
operating divisions to unrelated entities. Since the other operations were
previously sold to unrelated entities, are not being acquired by RII and do
not effect Weissman, they are not included in the financial statements of
Weissman.
 
  Both RII and Weissman Industries, Inc. have agreed to jointly elect section
338(h)(10) treatment under the Internal Revenue Code so that the sale of
Weissman will be treated as an asset sale for federal and state income tax
purposes.
 
  The assets to be sold consist of a heavy duty automotive shredder, metal
shearing equipment, Coreco aluminum furnace, heavy equipment, tools and
rolling stock, real property, buildings, inventories and accounts receivable
used in the business of recycling ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
 
  The sale price for Weissman is $12,400,000 and is allocated as follows:

 Basis of Presentation
 
  The accompanying financial statements include only the assets, liabilities,
equity and operations of the metals recycling division of Weissman Industries,
Inc. that is expected to be acquired by RII through a stock purchase agreement
upon the closing of a public offering of RII common stock.
 
 Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
 
  In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements for
the three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 are presented on a basis
consistent with the audited annual financial statements and reflect all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary for fair
presentation of the results of such periods. The results of operations for the
interim period ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 1996.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
 Concentration of Credit Risk
 
  Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables exist due to
large balances with a few customers. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, and March
31, 1996 (unaudited) accounts receivable balances for three major customers
were $1,216,000, $967,000 and $1,477,000, or 80%, 61% and 69%, respectively,
of the total accounts receivable balance. Ongoing credit evaluations of
customers' financial condition are performed and, generally, no collateral is
required. Weissman does not maintain reserves for potential losses since such
past losses, in the aggregate, have not been significant; therefore, the
allowance for doubtful accounts receivable is zero at December 31, 1995 and
1994, and at March 31, 1996 (unaudited). Customers are located in the upper
Midwest region of the United States (in or around Waterloo, Iowa).
 
 Inventories
 
  Inventories consist primarily of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal.
Inventory costs for finished goods include material, labor and plant overhead.
Inventory is stated at lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.
 
 Property, Plant and Equipment
 
  Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and
amortization expense is provided on a straight-line basis using estimated
useful lives of 5 to 20 years for equipment and 40 years for building and
improvements. Depreciation and amortization expense of property, plant and
equipment was $312,000, $261,000, $220,000, $148,000 and $78,000 for the years
ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, and for the three months ended March
31, 1996 and 1995 (unaudited), respectively. Maintenance and repairs are
charged to expense as incurred and expenditures for major improvements are
capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the property
accounts are relieved of costs and accumulated depreciation and any resulting
gain or loss is credited or charged to operations.
 
 Environmental Expenditures
 
  Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are capitalized
if the costs improve the Weissman property as compared to the condition of the
property when originally constructed or acquired or if the costs prevent
environmental contamination from future operations. Expenditures that relate
to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not
contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities
are recorded when environmental assessments are made or remedial efforts are
probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. These amounts are
generally accrued upon the completion of feasibility studies or the settlement
of claims, but in no event later than Weissman's commitment to a plan of
action.
 
 Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
 
  The preparation of 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 and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
 
 Fair Value of Financial Statements
 
  The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and
accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these
items.
 
 Income Taxes
 
  Effective December 30, 1988, Weissman Industries, Inc. and its stockholders
elected under the Internal Revenue Code to be an S-corporation for tax
purposes. In lieu of corporate income taxes, the stockholders of an

                            WEISSMAN IRON AND METAL
 
                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
S-corporation are taxed on their proportionate share of taxable income.
Accordingly, no provision or liability for federal income taxes has been
included in these financial statements.
 
  Upon completion of the sale of Weissman Industries, Inc. to RII, the tax
status of the Weissman Industries, Inc. will change from an S-corporation to a
taxable entity. Due to the tax effect of the sale there will be no significant
differences between financial statement and tax basis of assets and
liabilities and therefore the sale will not generate a deferred tax asset or
liability.
 
 Cash
 
  For purposes of reporting cash flows, Weissman considers all funds with
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
NOTE 2--INVENTORIES
 
  Inventories consist of the following at:

NOTE 5--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
 Environmental Liabilities
 
  In November 1993, Weissman Industries, Inc. received a notice from the US
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that it may be a potentially responsible
party (PRP), along with hundreds of others, with regard to a recycling site in
Alabama which received a shipment of material from Weissman. Under the law, a
PRP may be ordered to perform response actions, may be liable for costs
incurred and may be required to pay damages for injury.
 
  In October, 1995 the EPA notified Weissman Industries, Inc. that since
Weissman had a lower volumetric ranking, EPA intends to offer a de minimus
settlement to Weissman Industries, Inc. after completing negotiations with
larger ranking PRPs. Weissman has recorded an accrual in the amount of $30,000
for a de minimus settlement allowance.
 
  The assessment of the required response and remedial costs associated with
the clean up is extremely complex. Among the variables that management must
assess are imprecise engineering estimates, continually evolving governmental
standards, potential recoveries from insurance coverage and laws which impose
joint and several liability.
 
 Self Funded Employee Health Care Plan
 
  Weissman maintains and self funds a health care plan for all full time
employees after 90 days of employment. A third party administrator is employed
to control costs. The maximum specific costs are covered by a reinsurance
provider.
 
 Loan Guarantee
 
  Weissman's trade receivables and inventories are collateral for a line of
credit with a maximum of $1,000,000 maintained by Weissman Industries, Inc.
There was $-0-, $775,000 and $-0- outstanding under this line of credit as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and March 31, 1996 (unaudited), respectively.

NOTE 7--RETIREMENT PLAN
 
  Weissman Industries, Inc. has a defined benefit plan (the Plan) covering
substantially all of its employees. The Plan provides for payment of
retirement benefits commencing between the ages of 55 and 65. After meeting
certain qualifications, an employee acquires a vested right to future
benefits. The benefits payable under the Plan are generally determined on the
basis of an employee's length of service and earnings. Annual contributions to
the Plan are sufficient to satisfy legal funding requirements.
 
  Benefits under the Plan were frozen on October 31, 1995 and effective
December 30, 1995 the Plan was terminated. Upon receipt of a favorable
Internal Revenue Service determination letter and approval from Pension
Guaranty Trust the assets will be distributed to the participants. The
termination was approved by the union. The accrued loss due to curtailment at
the termination date was $47,000.
 
  Upon adoption of Financial Accounting Standard Number 87 (FAS 87) Employers'
Accounting for Pensions in 1989, the fair value of Plan assets exceeded
projected benefit liability by $83,000. This initial net asset is being
amortized over 9.4 years.
 
  Plan assets consist of a Group Annuity Contract with Principal Financial
Group.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
  Weissman pension activity consists of approximately 43% of the total Plan.
The following disclosures are for Weissman:
 
  In accordance with FAS 87, Weissman was required to record an additional
minimum pension liability at December 31, 1995 and 1993, and March 31, 1996
(unaudited). This amount represents the excess of the accumulated benefit
obligations over the fair value of Plan assets and accrued pension
liabilities. The liabilities have been offset by intangible assets to the
extent possible. Because the asset recognized may not exceed the amount of
unrecognized prior service cost, the balance of the liability at the end of
each period is reported as a separate reduction to Division Equity.
 
  Amounts are summarized as follows:
