                    PDG ENVIRONMENTAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1998
                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements include PDG Environmental, Inc. (the
"Corporation") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Additionally, the results of
PDG/Philip, L.P. (the "Venture") in which the Corporation holds a 60% interest,
are consolidated since the Corporation is the majority owner of the Venture and
exercises day-to-day operating control.

The accompanying financial statements of the Corporation are unaudited and
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results
could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, the financial
statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of
financial position, results of operations and cash flows. All adjustments made
during the three and six months ended July 31, 1998 were of a normal, recurring
nature. The amounts presented for the three and six months ended July 31, 1998
are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full year.
Additional information is contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB of the
Corporation for the year ended January 31, 1998 dated March 26, 1998 and
Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB of the Corporation for the quarter ended April
30, 1998 dated June 12, 1998, and should be read in conjunction with this
quarterly report.

The Corporation does not have any items which would require adjustments to
arrive at comprehensive income.

NOTE 2 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

No federal income taxes have been provided for the three and six months ended
July 31, 1998 due to the existence of unused net operating loss carryforwards.
The Company has recorded a provision for state income taxes.

Income taxes paid by the Corporation for the six months ended July 31, 1998 and
1997 totaled approximately $13,000 and $6,000, respectively.

NOTE 3 - DEBT

On August 25, 1997, the Corporation closed on a new $2 million credit facility
consisting of a 5-year $0.5 million equipment note and a 3-year revolving line
of credit with a maximum advance of $1.5 million. Both the equipment note and
the line of credit have an interest rate of prime plus 3.5%.

The proceeds of the new financing fully satisfied the remaining outstanding
balance on the Drummond line of credit and provide working capital for the
Corporation. As of July 31, 1998, the outstanding balance on the revolving line
of credit was zero.

During fiscal 1996, the registrant entered into two agreements guaranteeing a
former subsidiary, PDG Remediation ("PDGR") now ICHOR Corporation's ("ICHOR")
accounts receivable financed by Sirrom Environmental Funding, LLC ("Sirrom"). At
July 31, 1998, the balance guaranteed by the Corporation under the two
agreements was approximately $115,000. It is expected that the remaining
outstanding receivables covered by the guarantee will be paid by ICHOR's
customer during the remainder of Fiscal 1999, eliminating the registrant's
remaining guarantee.

The Corporation paid interest costs totaling approximately $48,000 and $54,000
during the six months ended July 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

NOTE 6 - LITIGATION SETTLEMENT

As discussed in further detail in Item 3. Legal Proceedings contained in the
Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended January 31, 1998,
the Corporation, PDGR, certain of PDGR's officers and directors and the
underwriters of PDGR's initial public offering have been named as defendants in
a purported class action lawsuit involving the purchase by all persons and
entities of PDGR's common stock from February 9, 1995, through May 23, 1995. The
action alleges that the defendants violated certain federal securities laws.

On June 8, 1998 an agreement in principle to settle the litigation was reached
with the plaintiffs' attorneys. Approval by both the Court and members of the
class is still required. If approved, the Defendants, PDG Environmental and
ICHOR (formerly PDG Remediation), will pay a total of $432,500 to settle the
lawsuit. PDG Environmental's share of the settlement will be $173,000.
Additionally, the Corporation incurred $27,000 of legal expenses in relation to
the litigation. The $200,000 expense is reflected in the financial statements as
a discontinued operations item as it relates to ICHOR which was accounted for as
a discontinued operation.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1998 AND 1997

The Corporation's contract revenues increased by approximately 104% to $10.8
million during the three months ended July 31, 1998 ("Fiscal 1999") compared to
$5.3 million in the three months ended July 31, 1997 ("Fiscal 1998"). The
increase in revenues was due to the Corporation entering the current fiscal year
with a greater backlog of contracts and the significant contribution to revenue
that the $12 million Keystone contract made in the current quarter.

The Corporation's gross margin increased to $1.6 million in the second quarter
of fiscal 1999 compared to $0.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1998.
The increase in gross margin was attributable to the aforementioned increase in
contract revenue. The gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased as,
traditionally, larger contracts are bid at lower margins.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $0.65 million in the
three months ended July 31, 1998 compared to $0.59 million in the three months
ended July 31, 1997. The increase is primarily attributable to the addition of a
new branch office and the personnel necessary to support a higher level of
activity.

As a result of the factors described above, the Corporation reported income from
operations of $0.9 million in the current three month period compared to income
from operations of $0.3 million for the same three months of the prior fiscal
year.

The Corporation's interest expense decreased to $34,000 for the three months
ended July 31, 1998 from $54,000 for the three months ended July 31, 1997. The
Corporation's interest expense decreased due to a significant decrease in the
balance of indebtedness as compared to the prior fiscal quarter. There were no
outstanding borrowings on the line of credit as of July 31, 1998 as compared to
$1.5 million at July 31, 1997.

During the three months ended July 31, 1998 and 1997, the Corporation made no
provision for federal income taxes due to the utilization of net operating loss
carryforwards for financial reporting purposes. The Corporation recorded state
income tax provisions of $20,000 and $5,000 during the three months ended July
31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Income from continuing operations for the three month period ending July 31,
1998 was $658,000 as compared to $266,000 for the same three months of the prior
quarter.

The $200,000 loss from discontinued operations relates to the agreement in
principal reached June 8, 1998 with the plaintiffs in the proported class
action. The Corporation's share of the settlement is $173,000. Additionally, the
Corporation incurred $27,000 of legal expenses in relation to the litigation.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1998 AND 1997

The Corporation's contract revenues increased by approximately 147% to $24.2
million for the six months ended July 31, 1998 compared to $9.8 million for the
six months ended July 31, 1998.

The increase in revenues was due to the Corporation entering the current fiscal
year with a greater backlog of contracts and the significant contribution to
revenue that the $12 million Keystone contract made in the current period.

The gross margin reported by the Corporation in the six months ended July 31,
1998 increased to $3.3 million compared to $1.7 million for the six months ended
July 31, 1997. The increase in gross margin related to the aforementioned
increase in contract revenue. The gross margin as a percentage of revenue
decreased as, traditionally, larger contracts are bid at lower margins.

                                       10

<PAGE>   11



Selling, general and administrative expenses reported by the Corporation for the
six months ended July 31, 1998 increased to $1.4 million as compared to $1.2
million for the same six month period of the prior fiscal year. The increase is
primarily attributable to the addition of two new branch offices in Fiscal 1999
and the personnel necessary to support a higher level of activity.

The Corporation reported income from operations of $1.9 million in the six
months ended July 31, 1998 as a result of the factors discussed above compared
to an increase from operations of $0.5 million in the same six month period last
year.

Interest expense decreased to $0.09 million in the current six month period
compared to $0.11 million in the six months ended July 31, 1997 due to a
significant decrease in the balance of indebtedness as compared to the prior
fiscal year.

Interest income totaled $4,000 for the current six month period versus $9,000 in
the same six month period of the prior fiscal year due to higher invested cash
balances. Other income in the prior six month period was primarily generated
from rental of equipment.

No provisions for federal income taxes were made during the six months ended
July 31, 1998 and 1997 due to the utilization of net operating loss
carryforwards for financial reporting purposes. State income tax provisions of
$40,000 and $10,000 were made for the six-month periods ending July 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively.

Income from continuing operations for the six month period ending July 31, 1998
was $1,219,000 as compared to $424,000 for the same three months of the prior
quarter.

The $200,000 loss from discontinued operations relates to the agreement in
principal reached June 8, 1998 with the plaintiffs in the proported class
action. The Corporation's share of the settlement is $173,000. Additionally, the
Corporation incurred $27,000 of legal expenses in relation to the litigation.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Corporation's liquidity decreased during the six months ended July 31, 1998
as cash and short-term investments decreased by $0.36 million to $0.53 million
compared to an increase in cash and short-term investments of $0.36 million in
the six months ended July 31, 1997.

The decrease in fiscal 1998 was due to a $0.06 million cash outflow from
operating activities, a $0.25 million outflow related to investing activities
and a $0.05 million outflow associated with financing activities.

Cash outflows from operating activities of $0.06 million in the six months ended
July 31, 1998 included a $1.2 million increase in accounts receivable, a $0.3
million increase in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on
uncompleted contracts related to the timing of certain contract activity and a
$1.2 million decrease in accounts payable. The aforementioned cash outflows from
operating activities were offset, in part, by net income of $1 million generated
during the six month period, a $0.2 million decrease in other current assets, a
$0.6 million increase in accrued liabilities due to the timing of payments, a
$0.3 million decrease in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on
uncompleted contracts and $0.3 million of depreciation and amortization.

Cash outflows associated with financing activities during the six months
included $0.97 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options and
warrants which was offset by $1 million of principal payments and reduction of
the outstanding balance on the line of credit.

The Corporation's cash outflows from investing activities of $0.25 million in
the six months ended July 31, 1998 was attributable to the purchase of property,
plant and equipment.

The Corporation's liquidity increased during the six months ended July 31, 1997
as cash and short-term investments increased by $0.36 million to $0.79 million


                                       11

<PAGE>   12



During the six months ended July 31, 1997, the $0.36 million increase in the
Corporation's liquidity resulted from cash used by operating activities of $0.6
million. This cash inflow was offset in part by cash utilized by investing
activities of $0.23 million and cash utilized by financing activities of $0.01
million.

The Corporation's cash inflows of $0.6 million from operating activities
principally included net income of $0.42 million generated during the period,
depreciation and amortization of $0.17 million, a $0.16 million decrease in
other assets, a $0.1 million increase in accounts payable, a $0.35 million
increase in billing in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted
costs and a $0.31 million increase in accrued liabilities. These cash inflows
were partially offset by a $0.65 million increase in accounts receivable
reflecting the related increase in revenues and a $0.25 million increase in
costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts.

During the six months ended July 31, 1997, cash outflows associated with
investing activities of $0.23 million were due to the purchase of property,
plant and equipment.

The Corporation's cash outflows related to financing activities included $0.44
million of debt repayments offset by $0.4 million in proceeds of new debt
(primarily the $0.375 million received from the refinancing of a $289,000 term
loan) and $0.03 million from the exercise of employee stock options.

At July 31, 1998, the Corporation's backlog associated with its asbestos
abatement business totaled $15.1 million ($6.6 million on fixed fee contracts
and $8.5 million on time and materials or unit price contracts).
