                    PDG ENVIRONMENTAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                    FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1998
                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements include PDG Environmental, Inc.'s (the
"Corporation") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Additionally, the results of
PDG/Philip, LP (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 consolidated financial statements of the Corporation are
unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, they include all adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations
and cash flows. All adjustments made during the three months ended April 30,
1998 were of a normal, recurring nature. The amounts presented for the three
months ended April 30, 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,
which should be read in conjunction with this quarterly report.

NOTE 2 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

No federal income tax has been provided for the three months ended April 30,
1998 due to the existence of unused net operating loss carryforwards. The
Corporation has recorded a $20,000 provision for state income taxes.

Income taxes paid by the Corporation for the three months ended April 30, 1998
and 1997 totaled approximately $13,000 and $6,000, respectively.

NOTE 3 - LINE OF CREDIT

On May 27, 1997, the Corporation closed on a $375,000 loan from a financial
institution to refinance a $289,000 term loan payable to Drummond Financial
Corporation ("Drummond") maturing on August 1, 1997. The loan is for a
seven-year term at a 9.5% interest rate fixed for the first four years of the
loan. The interest will then be readjusted to the current five year treasury
bill rate plus 3.25% for the remaining three years of the loan. The loan
requires monthly debt service payments of approximately $6,100 which is a
reduction of approximately $10,000 from the debt service on the Drummond term
loan. The remaining proceeds from the loan were utilized to reduce the
outstanding balance on the line of credit with Drummond.

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 provided working capital for the
Corporation. As of April 30, 1998, the outstanding balance on the new revolving
line of credit was $473,000.

During fiscal 1996, the registrant entered into two agreements guaranteeing
ICHOR Corporation's ("ICHOR") accounts receivable financed by Sirrom
Environmental Funding, LLC ("Sirrom"). At April 30, 1998, the balance guaranteed
by the Corporation under the two agreements was approximately $300,000. It is
expected that the remaining outstanding receivables covered by the guarantee
will be paid by ICHOR's customer during the first half of Fiscal 1999,
eliminating the registrant's remaining guarantee.

The Corporation paid interest costs totaling approximately $36,000 and $54,000
during the three months ended April 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

NOTE 4 - PREFERRED STOCK

Cumulative dividends in arrears on the Corporation's 2% Series A Preferred Stock
were approximately $157,000 at April 30, 1998. At April 30, 1998, there were
167,338 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. Each share of Series A
Preferred Stock is convertible into four shares of the Corporation's common
stock at the option of the preferred stockholder.

The conversion rate on the Series A Preferred Stock is also subject to
adjustment as a result of certain changes in the Corporation's capital structure
or distributions to common stockholders (except for cash dividends permissible
under law).

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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 out of court was reached
with the plaintiffs' attorneys in the class action lawsuit. 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.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1998 AND 1997

During the three months ended April 30, 1998 ("Fiscal 1999"), the Corporation's
contract revenues increased to $13.4 million compared to $4.5 million in the
three months ended April 30, 1997 ("Fiscal 1998"). The increase 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 $1.7 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 1999 compared to $0.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998. The
increase in gross margin in total is due to increased levels of revenues. The
contract margin as a percentage of revenue decreased as, traditionally, larger
contracts are bid at lower margins.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $0.78 million in the
three months ended April 30, 1998 compared to $0.63 million in the same quarter
of the previous fiscal year. During the current fiscal quarter, the Corporation
had two additional branch offices, and more costs were incurred to support a
higher level of operations.

The Corporation reported income from operations of $1.0 million for the three
months ended April 30, 1998 compared to income from operations of $0.2 million
for the three months ended April 30, 1997 as a direct result of the factors
discussed above.

Interest expense remained constant in the current quarter as compared to the
same quarter of a year ago.

During the quarter ended April 30, 1998, the Corporation made no provision for
federal income taxes due to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards
for financial reporting purposes. A state income tax provision of $20,000 was
made in the current fiscal quarter while a provision of $5,000 was made in the
prior fiscal quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the three months ended April 30, 1998, the Corporation's cash decreased
by $0.32 million to $0.57 million compared to an increase in cash and short-term
investments of $0.34 million in the three months ended April 30, 1997.

Cash generated from operating activities totaled $0.2 million in the three
months ended April 30, 1998. Cash inflows included $0.6 million related to net
income generated during the current three months, $0.1 million due to a decrease
in other current assets, a $1.1 million increase in accounts payable, primarily
associated with the Keystone project, a $0.5 million increase in billings in
excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, a $0.4 million
increase in accrued liabilities related to the timing of payments, $0.2 million
of depreciation and amortization and a $0.3 million increase in minority
interest relating to the Keystone contract. These cash inflows were partially
offset by cash outflows of $3.1 million due to an increase in accounts
receivable related primarily to the Keystone project.

The decrease in cash and short term investments during the first quarter of
fiscal 1999 is attributable to cash inflows from operations of $0.2 million,
offset by cash outflows of $0.1 million for the purchase of property, plant and
equipment, and $0.4 million for the repayment of debt partially offset by the
proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants.

During the three months ended April 30, 1997, the Corporation's cash increased
by $0.34 million to $0.77 million.




                                       9

Cash flows from operating activities totaled $0.5 million in the three months
ended April 30, 1997. Cash inflows included $0.2 million related to net income
generated during the current three months, a $0.3 million decrease in accounts
receivables, $0.1 million due to a decrease in other current assets, a $0.1
million increase in accrued liabilities related to the timing of payments and
$0.1 million of depreciation and amortization. These cash inflows were offset by
cash outflows which principally included a $0.1 million increase in costs and
estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts related to the
timing of certain contract activity and a $0.2 million decrease in accounts
payable related to the timing of vendor payments.

The increase in cash and short term investments during the first quarter of
fiscal 1998 is attributable to cash inflows from operations of $0.5 million.
These inflows were offset by outflows used to fund financing activities of $0.02
million and cash outflows to fund investing activities of $0.11 million. The
cash outflows relative to investing activities were for the purchase of
property, plant and equipment, and the cash outflows relating to financing
activities were for the repayment of debt net of proceeds from the financing of
a vehicle.

At April 30, 1998, the Corporation's backlog associated with its asbestos
abatement business totaled $20.6 million ($11.0 million on fixed fee contracts
and $9.6 million on time and materials or unit price contracts).
