ITEM 2.   ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

     On December 11, 1995, Recycling Industries of Texas, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Registrant, acquired substantially all of the assets and the
business of Anglo Metal, Inc. d/b/a Anglo Iron & Metal ("Anglo"), a privately
held metals and paper recycler with operations in Brownsville, Harlingen, 
McAllen and San Juan, Texas.  Anglo's primary markets are southern Texas and
Mexico.

     The assets acquired from Anglo consist of a heavy duty automobile shredder,
metal shearing equipment, balers, heavy equipment, tools and rolling stock used
in the business of recycling ferrous and non-ferrous metals and paper.  The
Registrant also purchased from Anglo certain real property, buildings and
leasehold improvements used in the metal and paper recycling business.

     The total purchase price for Anglo was $4,221,250 comprised of: $1,850,000
in cash; a $446,250 secured promissory note payable in 60 consecutive monthly
installments of $9,048.34;  $1,000,000 pursuant to the terms of a Consulting 
and Non-Compete Agreement with the president of Anglo, of which $250,000 was 
paid at closing and the balance payable in 72 equal consecutive monthly 
installments; and shares of the Registrant's common stock valued at $925,000.

     Of the cash paid at the closing of the acquisition, $1,800,000 was obtained
through a saleleaseback transaction with Ally Capital Corporation, 
collateralized by all of the machinery and equipment acquired from Anglo.  The
terms of the sale-leaseback provide for 60 consecutive monthly lease payments of
$40,518 with a bargain purchase option at the end of the lease term.  The
remaining $300,000 paid at closing was obtained from the operating cash reserves
and working capital of the Registrant.

     The real property acquired from Anglo and the common stock component of the
purchase price are being placed in escrow to provide for the remediation of
environmental contamination, if any, related to the operations of Anglo prior to
the acquisition.

    The Registrant will continue the metals and paper recycling operations of
Anglo.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

[A]  GENERAL

Recycling Industries, Inc. (RII or the Company, formerly known as 
Environmental Recovery Systems, Inc.) is a Colorado corporation formed 
December 1988.

Prior to May, 1994, the Company was a development stage enterprise during 
which period it completed  the development of technology for recycling 
municipal solid waste.   While the Company has not obtained a permit nor 
constructed or operated a facility utilizing this technology, it is pursuing 
the license or sale of such technology.  On May 10, 1994 the Company acquired 
a subsidiary and began metals recycling operations (see Note 2[A]).   All 
revenues during 1995 and 1994 were generated by the recycling operations.  On 
June 27, 1995 the Company changed its name to Recycling Industries, Inc.

REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

Effective June 27, 1995, the Company completed a one-for-five reverse stock 
split of its common stock, $.001 par value (Common Stock).  All share and per 
share amounts have been restated retroactively as a result of this reverse 
split.

[B]  ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CONSOLIDATION

The Company, its subsidiaries and joint ventures in which it exercises 
control through majority ownership are consolidated, and all intercompany 
accounts and transactions are eliminated.  Joint ventures and investment in 
equity investees are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, 
whereby the Company recorded only its proportionate share of loss in the 
joint ventures and equity investees.  The Company currently has no active 
joint venture projects.

Nevada Recycling, Inc. (NRI), acquired by the Company in May 1994 (see Note 
2[A]), operates a metals recycling facility in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving the 
Las Vegas market and steel mills located throughout the western United States.

Recycling Industries of Texas, Inc. d/b/a Anglo Iron & Metal (Anglo), formed 
by the Company to acquire the assets of Anglo Metals, Inc. in December 1995 
(see Note 2[C]), operates four metals recycling facilities in Brownsville, 
Harlingen, McAllen and San Juan, Texas, serving steel mills and markets in 
the Rio Grande Valley in southern Texas and northern Mexico.




<PAGE>

NOTE 1[B] - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Recycling Industries of Missouri, Inc. d/b/a Mid-America Shredding 
(Mid-America), formed by the Company to acquire the assets of Mid-America 
Shredding, Inc. in April 1996 (see Note 22), operates a metals recycling 
facility in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, serving midwestern steel mills and 
markets along the Mississippi River.

The acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method of 
business combinations and, accordingly, the results of operations of the 
acquired businesses are included in the Company's financial statements only 
from the applicable date of acquisition.

UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements for 
the three month periods ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 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 ending December 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of 
the results to be expected for the year ended September 30, 1996.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has recently issued Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (FAS 123), Accounting for Stock Based 
Compensation.  FAS 123 encourages the accounting for stock based employee 
compensation programs to be reported within the financial statements on a 
fair value based method.  If the fair value based method is not adopted, then 
FAS 123 requires pro forma disclosure of net income and earnings per share as 
if the fair value based method had been adopted.  The Company has not yet 
determined how FAS 123 will be implemented or its impact on the financial 
statements.  FAS 123 is effective for transactions entered into after 
December 15, 1995.

ACQUISITIONS COSTS

The Company had capitalized acquisition costs of $61,000 and $164,000 at 
September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, relating to active letters of 
intent for potential acquisitions of operating metals recycling companies.  
Acquisition costs are allocated to the net assets acquired if the acquisition 
is successful, or are charged to operations if the negotiations are 
discontinued.  Acquisition costs of $72,000 were written off to operations 
during 1994 for negotiations that were no longer active.




<PAGE>

NOTE 1[B] - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables exist due to 
large balances with a few customers.  At September 30, 1995 and 1994, 
accounts receivable balances from significant customers were $699,000 and 
$711,000, or 65% and 79%, respectively, of the total accounts receivable 
balance.  Ongoing credit evaluations of customers' financial condition are 
performed and, generally, no collateral is required.  The Company maintains 
reserves for potential credit losses and such losses, in the aggregate, have 
not exceeded management's expectations.  Customers are located throughout the 
western region of the United States and Mexico.  

The Company maintains all cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times may 
exceed federally insured limits.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, time deposits, accounts 
payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short 
maturity of these items.  The fair value of notes payable and amounts due to 
factor was estimated based on market values for debt with similar terms. 
Management believes that the fair value of that debt approximates its 
carrying value.

INVENTORIES

Inventories consist primarily of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal.  
Inventory costs include material, labor and plant overhead.  Inventory is 
stated at lower of average 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 7 to 15 years for equipment and 40 years for building and 
improvements. Depreciation and amortization expense of property, plant and 
equipment was $545,000, $147,000 and $12,000 for the periods ended September 
30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, 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.




<PAGE>

NOTE 1[B] - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

DEFERRED OFFERING COSTS

Costs incurred in connection with the Company's current anticipated public 
offering are deferred and will be charged against stockholders' equity upon 
the successful completion of the offering or charged to expense if the 
offering is not consummated.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Costs incurred in connection with research and development in relation to 
work undertaken on new environmental technologies are charged to operations 
in the year incurred.  No research and development costs have been incurred 
since 1993.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Sales are recorded in the period of shipment.

NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

Primary net income (loss) per common share is computed based upon the 
weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares 
outstanding during the period.  Fully diluted computations assume the 
conversion of the convertible preferred stock.

Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of stock options and warrants.  In 
loss periods, dilutive common equivalent shares are excluded as the effect 
would be anti-dilutive.

INCOME TAXES

Effective October 1, 1992, the Company adopted Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standards No. 109 (FAS 109), ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES.  Under 
this method, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax 
consequences in future years of temporary differences between the tax basis 
of assets and liabilities and their financial statement amounts at the end of 
each reporting period. Valuation allowances will be established when 
necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be 
realized.  Income tax expense represents the tax payable for the current 
period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and 
liabilities.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities have been netted to reflect 
the tax impact of temporary differences.  The adoption of FAS 109 did not 
have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements, 
therefore, there was no cumulative effect of this change in accounting for 
income taxes at October 1, 1992.  There is also no effect on the loss for the 
year ended September 30, 1993.




<PAGE>

NOTE 1[B] - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

The Company had not recorded a deferred tax asset at September 30, 1994 and 
1993 since it was more likely than not that the tax assets would not be 
realized.  At September 30, 1995 the Company has recorded a net deferred tax 
asset of $800,000 primarily reflecting the benefit of net operating loss 
carryforwards, which expire in varying amounts between 2002 and 2009.  
Realization is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to 
expiration of the loss carryforwards.  Although realization is not assured, 
management believes it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax 
asset will be realized.  The amount of the deferred tax asset considered 
realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future 
taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced. 

At September 30, 1995 the Company has federal income tax loss carryforwards 
of approximately $6,900,000, which if not utilized to offset future taxable 
income, expire in the years 2002 through 2009.

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 disclosures 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 and assumptions.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain balances in the 1994 and 1993 financial statements have been 
reclassified to conform to the 1995 presentation.  The reclassifications had 
no effect on financial condition or results of operations.

NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS

[A] On May 10, 1994, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock
of NRI from Nevada Recycling Corporation (NRC) for 38,000 shares of the
Company's Series A convertible preferred stock, valued at $3,612,000.  On that
date NRI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

A summary of the assets purchased and liabilities assumed is as follows:

     Land                                             $  1,340,000
     Building                                              360,000
     Machinery and equipment                             5,025,000
     Notes payable                                      (3,113,000)
                                                      ------------

          Net Book Value of Assets Purchased          $  3,612,000
                                                      ------------
                                                      ------------
On December 30, 1994, the Company and NRC agreed to restructure the terms of the
acquisition of NRI as follows:

(1)  NRC returned to the Company 25,000 of the 38,000 shares of Series A
     convertible preferred stock (see Note 17).

(2)  The Company purchased from NRC its contingent right (granted under the May
     10, 1994 acquisition agreement, to reacquire the stock of NRI) for 
     $2,300,000 and warrants to purchase 20,000 shares of Common Stock for 
     $1.25 per share for a 10-year term.  The $2,300,000 payment consists of a
     $300,000 note paid on February 28, 1995 and a $2,000,000 note payable in
     consecutive monthly installments commencing March 31, 1995 on the basis of
     an eight-year amortization with interest at the rate of 10% per year, with
     remaining principal due January 10, 1997.

(3)  The Company restructured the purchase of land and buildings for a purchase
     price of $2,060,000 payable $1,700,000 before February 28, 1995 with
     interest of $19,000 per month, $20,000 plus accrued interest payable on 
     each of December 31, 1994, January 31, 1995 and February 28, 1995, and 
     $300,000 payable in monthly installments commencing March 31, 1995 on the
     basis of an eight-year amortization period with interest at the rate of 
     10% per year, with remaining principal due January 10, 1997.

(4)  The Company agreed to pay $637,052 of debts totaling $2,382,447 assumed on
     the equipment purchased as part of the original NRI acquisition.

NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)

All of the above obligations are collateralized by the assets of NRI.

As a result of the restructuring, the Company treated the $2,300,000 payment
obligation as indebtedness incurred to retire the 25,000 shares of preferred
stock.  The acquisition of NRI resulted in goodwill of $195,000 which will be
amortized using the straight-line method over 20 years.

[B] On December 30, 1994, the Company acquired Metal Recovery, Inc. (MRI)  whose
sole asset is an indirect 19.6% limited partnership interest in a currently
inactive partnership engaged in the business of scrap metal recovery (the
Partnership).  The acquisition of MRI resulted in goodwill of $22,000 which is
being written off over 20 years using the straight line method.  The Company
acquired MRI from its three stockholders (the ACI Principals), who also hold the
13,000 shares of the Company's Series A preferred stock acquired by the ACI
Principals from the stockholders of NRC in a separate transaction.  The purchase
price for MRI included 120,000 shares of Common Stock and the right to
additional shares of Common Stock upon the satisfaction of certain conditions
which have not been met.  The 120,000 shares of Common Stock and 13,000 shares
of Series A  preferred stock are referred to as the  ACI Equity Securities.  The
Company has agreed to assist the ACI Principals in liquidating the ACI Equity
Securities for at least $2,400,000 prior to September 30, 1996 by purchasing or
arranging for the sale of these securities, or including the ACI Equity
Securities in a registration statement prior to September 30, 1996 (ACI Sale
Obligation).

In connection with the restructuring of the acquisition of NRI, discussed above,
the Company has transferred a portion of MRI's interest in the Partnership to
NRC,  and the ACI Principals caused the Partnership to redeem this interest for
$1,170,000 in partial satisfaction of the Company's February 28, 1995 payment
obligations.  This amount has been treated as a loan to the Company.

The ACI Principals have the right to reacquire the Company's interests in MRI
and NRI in exchange for the ACI Equity Securities (the ACI Option) if the
Company:

  1)   defaults under the terms of the installment note, under [A];
  2)   fails to meet the ACI Sale Obligation; or
  3)   if the Company defaults in its other obligations under the various
       agreements related to the acquisition of MRI or the restructuring of 
       the acquisition of NRI, under [A].

In addition, until the Company meets the ACI Sale Obligation, the Company is
subject to certain restrictions on its ability to operate NRI and MRI.

[C] On December 11, 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets
and the business of Anglo Metal, Inc.dba Anglo Iron & Metal (Anglo).  The assets
acquired from Anglo consisted of a heavy duty automotive shredder, inventories,
metal shearing equipment, balers, heavy equipment, tools and rolling stock used
in the business of recycling ferrous and non-ferrous metals.  The Company also
purchased from Anglo certain real property, buildings and leasehold improvements
used in the metal recycling business.

The purchase price for Anglo was $6,065,000 comprised of: $2,079,000 in cash;
$1,865,000 note which is to be paid in ten monthly installments of $186,500
beginning in February 1996; a $446,000 secured promissory note payable in 60
consecutive monthly installments of $9,000, including interest; a $750,000
unsecured note payable in 72 equal consecutive monthly installments of $10,400;
and 227,693 shares of Common Stock valued at $925,000.

Of the cash paid at the closing of the acquisition, $1,800,000 was obtained
through a sale-leaseback transaction with Ally Capital Corporation,
collateralized by all of Anglo's machinery and equipment, accounts receivable
and inventories, which has been recorded as a capital lease.  


<PAGE>

NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)

The terms of the sale-leaseback provide for 60 consecutive monthly lease
payments of $41,000 with a bargain purchase option at the end of the lease term.
The lease contained numerous covenants for maintaining certain financial ratios
and earnings levels (see Note 20).  The remaining $279,000 paid at closing was
obtained from the operating cash reserves and working capital of the Company.

The Company signed a consulting and non-competition agreement with the president
of Anglo.  The term of the non-compete portion is for six years and is valued at
$1,000,000 which will be amortized over the term of the agreement using the
straight line method.  The consulting portion is for a term of six months and is
payable $5,000 per month.

RII also entered into a sublease agreement with Anglo for three yard facilities
for $2,500 a month through December 10, 2005.

The real property acquired from Anglo and the Common Stock issued by the Company
have been placed in escrow to provide for the remediation of environmental
contamination related to the operations of Anglo prior to the acquisition.

The purchase price of Anglo has been allocated as follows:

  Equipment under capital lease                        $    1,800,000

NOTE 3 - FORMER JOINT VENTURE

In 1993, the Company entered into a settlement with a former joint venture
partner in which the Company agreed to make a series of payments totaling
$622,000 by October 31, 1993.  The Company subsequently defaulted on its payment
obligations.  On June 30, 1994, the Company and certain related parties entered
into a master agreement providing for the settlement of all amounts owed to the
former joint venture partner.  Pursuant to this agreement, the Company issued
145,000 shares of Common Stock for its outstanding principal and penalty
interest balance of $725,000.  Such shares were issued in connection with the
548,376 shares of Common Stock issued in 1994 on the conversion of $1,351,000 in
liabilities (see Note 17).

NOTE 4 - ENGINEERING PLANS

The Company capitalizes all external direct costs associated with permitting and
plant facilities start-up which mainly include engineering, legal and consulting
fees, travel and other costs associated with developing projects and obtaining
permits.  Internal costs associated with plant facilities start-up are expensed
as incurred.  Capitalized project costs are being amortized over five years
using the straight-line method beginning with the earlier of the commencement of
plant operations or two years from the date the project begins accumulating
costs.  During fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993 the Company incurred amortization
costs of $217,000, $217,000 and $344,000, respectively.



<PAGE>

NOTE 4 - ENGINEERING PLANS (CONTINUED)

Capitalized engineering plans are those costs related to active projects and
potential plant site locations.  At the time a permit application is infeasible,
based upon management's determination, all costs associated with the project
which are not transferable to other projects are charged to operations.  During
1994 and 1993, $208,000 and $549,000, respectively, of project start-up costs
were written off because the permit applications were determined to be
infeasible.

NOTE 5 - FACTORING AGREEMENTS

On May 4, 1994, the Company entered into an agreement with an unrelated third
party whereby such third party agreed to purchase the Company's trade accounts
receivable at 80% of face amount and to collect payments on the purchased
receivables from the Company's customers.  The Company was charged an
administrative fee equal to 1% of the face amount of the purchased receivables
and a monthly finance charge in the amount of 3% of the average daily
outstanding balance of all purchased receivables.  The Company was required to
repurchase any receivables not collected from customers within 90 days.

On August 12, 1994, the Company entered into an agreement,  which replaced the
above factoring agreement, with a partnership comprised of the stockholders of
NRC who are also preferred stockholders of the Company, whereby the partnership
agreed to purchase the Company's trade accounts receivable at 85% of face value.
Under the terms of the factoring agreement,  the partnership is entitled to a
finance charge of 1.5% per month of the average daily outstanding balance.  The
Company is required to repurchase any receivables not collected from customers
within 90 days.  The original term of the agreement was for a period of 18
months and continues on a month-to-month basis thereafter unless terminated by
either party.  Purchased receivables balances outstanding at September 30, 1995
and 1994 were $197,000 and $461,000, respectively.   Accrued finance charges at
September 30, 1995 and 1994 were $8,000 and $11,000, respectively.  Total
finance charges for the years ended September 30, 1995 and 1994,  were $82,000
and $11,000, respectively.

INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE

Effective June 30, 1995 the Company acquired a 20% interest in The Loef Company,
Inc. (Loef), a ferrous and non-ferrous metals recycler.  Under the terms of an
agreement with the 80% stockholder of Loef, the Company's interest will be
maintained at 20% if the Company pays  $200,000 to  the 80% stockholder before
June 30, 1996, otherwise the interest may be reduced to 15%.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid certain expenses in
connection with the acquisition in the  amount of $277,000 and extinguished
certain warrants (see Note 17).  The acquisition of the Company's interest in
Loef was recorded using the cost method of accounting.

NOTE 9 -  NOTE RECEIVABLE, RELATED PARTY 

On April 11, 1994 the Company sold its 25% ownership interest in a formerly
wholly-owned subsidiary to Caside Associates (CA), a stockholder of the Company,
in exchange for a $2,000,000 note receivable.  At September 30, 1994, the sales
price was renegotiated to $900,000.  The note requires 6% monthly interest only
payments for two years and principal repayments are due quarterly from 1996 to
1998.

The gain on the sale was recognized using the cost-recovery method since the
collection of the sales price was not reasonably assured.   Under the cost-
recovery method, gain on the sale is postponed until all costs are recovered,
then all receipts are recognized as profit.  As a result of the sale, a deferred
gain in the amount of $751,000 has been recorded.  At September 30, 1994, no
gain has been recognized since all costs had not yet been recovered.

As of September 30, 1995, management determined that the note receivable from CA
was permanently impaired.  Therefore, the Company recorded an allowance for the
total remaining unpaid balance of $874,000  and removed the deferred gain on the
sale, recognizing a bad debt expense of $123,000.

NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES

Pursuant to the terms of its acquisition of MRI, the Company  included a
$3,500,000 capital gain realized prior to such acquisition on its consolidated
1994 tax return and utilized a portion of its net operating loss carryforward
generated in prior years to offset the capital gain.  Management believes its
position has merit based on its interpretation of the Internal Revenue Code and
an opinion by its tax counsel.  However, the Company has not obtained a prior
ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and has no assurances that the
IRS will concur with its interpretation.  If the IRS were to successfully
challenge the position taken on this issue, the Company could be required to pay
approximately $1,200,000 in additional income taxes plus penalties and interest
and the $3,500,000 net operating loss utilized on its consolidated 1994 tax
return would be available to offset future taxable income generated by the
Company.

During fiscal year 1995, management determined that the net operating loss
generated from prior years in the amount of $6,900,000 was more likely than not
to be used in the near future due to taxable income generated by NRI, Anglo and
Mid- America.  Therefore, a net deferred tax asset of $800,000 has been recorded
as of September 30, 1995.  During 1995, net operating losses in the amount of
$3,700,000 were utilized to reduce taxable income.  However, alternative minimum
tax of approximately $86,000 was payable for 1995 because of the 90% alternative
net operating loss limitation.  Net operating loss carryforwards available for
future use through the year 2009 are $6,900,000 at September 30, 1995.

NOTE 13 - NOTES PAYABLE - RELATED PARTIES

During the year ended September 30, 1993, First Dominion Holdings, Inc. (FD), a
corporation wholly-owned by the Company's chief executive officer/majority
stockholder, advanced the Company $676,000 for working capital purposes.  The
advance was non-interest bearing and due on demand.  During the year ended
September 30, 1994, there were advances and repayments on the note and $887,000
of the balance was converted to 591,333 shares of Series B preferred stock (see
Note 17).  At September 30, 1994 the balance on the note was $8,000.  During
1995 the note was paid.

The remaining balance of related parties notes payable consists of an original
obligation of $1,865,000 related to the Anglo inventory acquisition and $450,000
of bridge loans.  In December 1995 and January 1996, the Company borrowed
$1,575,000 of bridge financing represented by the notes payable - related
parties with interest at 10% per annum.  Proceeds from the loans were used to
finance the Anglo acquisition and general corporate expenses.  In January 1996,
principal of $1,125,000 and accrued interest of $13,000 were converted into
323,523 shares of Common Stock.  In connection with the bridge financing, the
lenders were issued warrants to purchase a total of 359,250 shares of Common
Stock at $1.50 per share, exercisable through the end of a three-year period
commencing on the effective date of a registration statement covering the
underlying Common Stock.  Principal and interest related to the bridge loans,
which were not converted into Common Stock, are due in December, 1996 and
January, 1997.   If the Company defaults on repayment of the loans, the notes
are convertible to Common Stock at a conversion price of the lesser of $2.00 or
50% of the average closing price for the last 30 days after the default.  First
Equity Capital Securities, Inc. received a finders fee of $79,000 in connection
with the bridge loans.

NOTE 19 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES

In connection with the recycling and processing of ferrous and non-ferrous
metals, the Company may come in contact with "hazardous materials" as that term
is defined under various environmental laws.  Although the Company screens for
"hazardous materials" in its raw materials, certain items processed may
inadvertently contain such materials, which could result in contamination of the
waste by-products and premises.  At this time the Company believes that it is in
substantial compliance with all applicable environmental laws.  Due to the
nature of the Company's operations, changes in the environmental laws or
inadvertent improper disposal of a hazardous material may result in a violation
of such laws subjecting the Company to fines and responsibility for costs
attributable to remediation.

LONG-TERM DEBT

In conjunction with the acquisition of MRI, previously discussed in Note 2[B],
the Company executed a promissory note on February 28, 1995 in the amount of

Accrued interest is payable on March 31, 1995, and on June 30, September 30,
December 31, and March 31 of each calendar year thereafter through maturity.  

Under the terms of the note payable, the Company was required to transfer
$1,150,000 of the proceeds from the note payable to NRI and is prohibited from
obtaining any repayment from NRI until the ACI Option expires unexercised.  If

PRIVATE PLACEMENT

On April 8, 1996 the Company completed a private placement.  The Company
received $228,000 (net of offering costs of $20,000) from the sale of 90,000
shares of Common Stock and warrants (Series J Warrants) to acquire up to 45,000
shares of Common Stock at $7.50 per share.  The Series J Warrants are
exercisable for a three-year period commencing on the effectiveness of a
registration statement covering the shares received upon their exercise.  The
exercise price of the Series J Warrants will be reduced to $5.40 per share in
the event that the Company fails to repurchase certain shares of Common Stock by
May 31, 1996 and will reduce by $.35 per share for each month subsequent to
September 1996 (June 1996 in the event such stock purchase is not effected by
May 31) in which a registration statement covering the shares issuable upon
exercise of the Series J warrants is not effective.

In connection with the offering, the Company issued to the placement agent 4,500
warrants (placement agent warrants) to purchase two shares of Common Stock and
one Series H Warrant, which are exercisable for a three year period commencing
one year from the date of issuance, at an exercise price of $2.75.  Upon
exercise of the placement agent warrants, the Company will issue up to 4,500
Series H Warrants each to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercised
price of $7.50 per share.  The Series H Warrants are exercisable for a three
year period commencing one year from the date of issuance and are not redeemable
by the Company.

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS 



TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
ANGLO METAL, INC.
HARLINGEN, TEXAS 


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Anglo Metal, Inc. dba  Anglo
Iron & Metal, as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the related statements of
operations, changes in stockholders' 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 Company'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 Anglo Metal, Inc. dba Anglo
Iron & Metal, 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.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ACTIVITY
Anglo Metal, Inc. dba Anglo Iron & Metal (Anglo) was incorporated in the State
of Texas in December 1985.  Anglo operates in the metals recycling industry
(purchasing, processing, selling and brokering ferrous and non-ferrous metals)
with its operations located in southern Texas.  Anglo operates one of 12 heavy
duty automotive shredders located in Texas.  Processed scrap is sold to steel
mill customers and other metals processors throughout the southern region of the
United States and northern Mexico.

SALE OF ANGLO

On December 11, 1995, Anglo sold to Recycling Industries, Inc. (RII)
substantially all of the assets and the business of Anglo.

The assets sold consisted of a heavy duty automotive shredder, inventories,
metal shearing equipment, balers, heavy equipment, tools and rolling stock used
in the business of recycling ferrous and non-ferrous metals.  Certain real
property, buildings and leasehold improvements used in the metals recycling
business were also sold.

The sales price for Anglo was $6,065,000 comprised of:  $2,079,000 in cash;
$1,865,000 note which is to be paid in ten equal monthly installments of
$186,500 over ten months beginning in February 1996; a $446,000 secured
promissory note payable in 60 consecutive monthly installments of $9,000,
including interest; a $750,000 unsecured note payable in 72 equal consecutive
monthly installments of $10,000, including interest; and 227,693 shares of RII
common stock valued at $925,000.

Of the cash received at the closing of the sale, $1,800,000 was obtained through
a sale-leaseback transaction with Ally Capital Corporation, collateralized by
all of the machinery and equipment sold, accounts receivable and inventory,
which has been recorded as a capital lease.  The terms of the sale-leaseback
provide for 60 consecutive monthly lease payments of $41,000 with a bargain
purchase option at the end of the lease term.  The lease contains numerous
covenants for maintaining certain financial ratios and earnings levels.  The
remaining $279,000 paid at closing was obtained from the operating cash reserves
and working capital of RII.

RII signed a consulting and non-competition agreement with the president of
Anglo.  The term of the noncompete portion is for a term of six years and is
valued at $1,000,000 which will be amortized over the term of the agreement
using the straight line method.  The consulting portion is for a term of six
months and is payable $5,000 per month.

The real property sold and the common stock given by RII have been placed in
escrow to provide for the remediation of environmental contamination related to
the operations of Anglo prior to the acquisition.

                                                       -----------


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, accounts
receivable balances for three major customers were $336,476 and $320,335, or 54%
and 49%, respectively, of the total accounts receivable balance.  Ongoing credit
evaluations of customers' financial condition are performed and, generally, no
collateral is required.  Anglo does not maintain reserves for potential credit
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.  Customers are located throughout the Southern region of the
United States and Mexico.

INVENTORIES
Inventories consist primarily of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal.  Inventory
costs 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
$105,000, $113,000 and $100,000 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and
1993, 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.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

ENVIRONMENTAL EXPENDITURES
Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are capitalized if
costs improve Anglo's 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 cost
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 Anglo'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. 
The fair value of notes payable was estimated based on market values for debt
with similar terms.  Management believes that the fair value of that debt
approximates its carrying value.

INCOME TAXES
Anglo and its stockholders have elected under the Internal Revenue Code to be an
S-corporation for tax purposes.  In lieu of corporate income taxes, the
stockholders of an S-corporation are taxed on their proportionate share of its
taxable income.  Accordingly, no provision or liability for federal income taxes
has been included in these financial statements for Anglo for 1994 and 1993.  On
January 1, 1995, Anglo terminated its S-corporation election.


<PAGE>

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Effective January 1, 1995, Anglo adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 (FAS 109), Accounting for Income Taxes.  Under this method,
deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future
years of temporary differences between the tax basis of the assets and
liabilities and their financial statement amounts at the end of each reporting
period.  Valuation allowances will be established when necessary to reduce
deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.  Income tax expense
is the tax payable for the current period and the change during the period in
deferred tax assets and liabilities.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities have
been netted to reflect the tax impact of temporary differences.  The adoption of
FAS 109 and termination of the S-corporation election resulted in recognition of
a net deferred tax asset of $250,000.  Anglo has not recorded a deferred tax
asset at January 1, 1995 or December 31, 1995 since it was more likely than not
that the tax assets would not be realized.  Therefore, the adoption of FAS 109
and the termination of the S-corporation election did not have a material effect
on Anglo's financial statements and there was no cumulative effect of this
change in accounting for income taxes at January 1, 1995.  There is also no
effect on net income for the year ended December 31, 1995.

CASH
For purposes of reporting cash flows, Anglo considers all funds with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

NOTE 8 - DEBT RESTRUCTURE

In connection with the sale of Anglo to RII, certain debt of Anglo was paid by
RII prior to December 31, 1995 and has been recorded in the financial statements
as advances from RII, a current liability.  The following is a summary of the
debt restructure.

In December 1995, RII entered into an agreement with an unrelated entity (BAF)
whereby BAF advances 80% of the purchased trade accounts receivable and collects
payments on purchased receivables from Anglo's customers.  BAF charges RII an
administrative fee equal to 1% of the face amount of the purchased receivables
and a monthly finance charge in the amount of 10% of the average daily
outstanding balance of all purchased receivables. RII  is required to repurchase
any receivables not collected from customers within 90 days.  The balance at
December 31, 1995 was $11,000.


<PAGE>

NOTE 8 - DEBT RESTRUCTURE (CONTINUED)

On December 13, 1995, RII entered into a capital lease with Ally Capital
Corporation for $1,800,000 of equipment acquired from Anglo (see Note 1).  The
proceeds were used to pay off debt in the amount of $1,256,000 and capital lease
obligations of $60,000.  The remaining balance of $484,000 was used to reduce a
$750,000 note payable that was guaranteed by Anglo.

NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LOAN GUARANTEE
Anglo is guarantor of a note payable for its stockholders to a bank with an
original principal of $750,000; interest at 10.5% per annum; monthly principal
and interest payments of $8,000.  The note is collateralized by equipment,
personal guarantees of Anglo stockholders and president, and assignment of key
man life insurance policy; due December 1988.  The note balance is $207,000 and
$717,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994.  Of the cash received at closing,
$484,000 was paid directly to the note holder by RII (see Note 8).  RII is not a
guarantor for the remaining outstanding principal.


<PAGE>

NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)

LITIGATION
Anglo Metal, Inc. and Anglo Iron & Metal are defendants in a lawsuit by the
State of Texas and Houston Lighting & Power, and Central Power & Light for
$924,000.   Anglo is vigorously defending the case.  A liability of $465,000 has
been recorded in the financial statements of Anglo.  Under the terms of the
purchase agreement, RII shall not assume any liabilities of Anglo arising on or
before the closing date with respect to any action, event or occurrence.

Anglo is also a party to a number of lawsuits arising in the normal course of
business.  In the opinion of management, the resolution of these matters will
not have a material adverse effect on Anglo's financial position.

ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES
Anglo is a party to proceedings before state and federal regulatory agencies
relating to environmental remediation issues.  The assessment of the required
response and remedial costs associated with the cleanup 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. 
During January 1993, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) conducted an on site
investigation and discovered a violation of the Toxic Substance Control Act,
concerning illegal disposal of Poly Chlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) containing
capacitors.  Anglo was assessed a $129,000 penalty and was ordered to remediate
the site and dispose of contaminated soil in accordance with EPA standards.  The
initial engineering estimates for remediation and soil disposal are within the
range of $200,000 to $600,000.  A liability for $729,000 has been recorded in
the Anglo financial statements.  Under the terms of the acquisition of Anglo by
RII, the stock component of the purchase price has been escrowed for remediation
costs.

LEASES

Anglo leases facilities under non-cancelable operating lease through 2005.  The
monthly lease payments are $4,000 per month for the term of the lease.  Total
rental expense for each of the three years 1995, 1994 and 1993 was $47,000. 
Anglo also leased equipment under a capital lease for $208,000 which was paid in
December 1995.

Future minimum lease payments are as follows at December 31,:

     1996            $ 30,000
     1997              30,000
     1998              30,000
     1999              30,000
     2000              30,000
     Thereafter       150,000
                     $300,000


NOTE 12 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In addition to transactions with related parties discussed throughout the notes
to the financial statements, the following related party transactions have taken
place.

Accounts receivable from related parties consist of advances made to one of the
officers of Anglo  and to one of the stockholders.  These advances are non-
interest bearing.  The officer's balance was $59,000 and $64,000 for 1995 and
1994, respectively, and the stockholder's balance was $11,000 at the end of 1995
and 1994.
