NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998
(UNAUDITED)


A.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         (1) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS - The financial
         statement of Reconversion Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") includes
         the accounts of Reconversion Technologies, Inc., which is a holding
         company principally engaged in acquiring and developing businesses and
         the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiary, Keystone Laboratories,
         Inc. ("KLI"). Prior to its acquisition of KLI, the Company had three
         wholly-owned subsidiaries: Reconversion Technologies of Texas, Inc., a
         Texas Corporation, organized on February 24, 1992 ("RETEX"),
         Reconversion Products, Inc. ("RPI"), formerly Thomas Engineering, Inc.,
         a Georgia Corporation organized on October 9, 1992, and Spectrum
         Recycling Technologies, Inc. ("Spectrum"), a New York Corporation.

         On March 23, 1995, the Company voluntarily filed for bankruptcy
         protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern
         District of Oklahoma. During the pendency of the bankruptcy, RETEX,
         Spectrum and RPI discontinued operations. Spectrum and RPI have been
         liquidated and the remaining asset of RETEX, the Brenham Plant
         facility, located in Brenham, Texas, is discussed in the Plan of
         Reorganization.

         On November 13, 1997, the Company was formally reorganized pursuant to
         a confirmed Bankruptcy Plan of Reorganization. As a result, the Company
         acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Keystone
         Laboratories, Inc. ("KLI"), a Delaware corporation organized on July
         20, 1987. KLI is a forensic urine drug screening and confirmatory
         testing laboratory. For accounting purposes, the acquisition has been
         treated as the acquisition of KLI by the Company with KLI as the
         acquiror (reverse acquisition). The historical financial statements
         prior to December 1, 1997 are those of KLI.

         The financial statements included in this report have been prepared by
         the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
         Exchange Commission for interim reporting and include all adjustments
         (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the
         opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation. These
         financial statements have not been audited.

         Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
         financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
         accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
         rules and regulations for interim reporting. The Company believes that
         the disclosures contained herein are adequate to make the information
         presented not misleading. However, these financial statements should be
         read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
         included in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended June 30,
         1999, which is included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended
         June 30, 1999. The financial data for the interim periods presented may
         not necessarily reflect the results to be anticipated for the complete
         year. Certain reclassifications of the amounts presented for the
         comparative period have been made to conform to the current
         presentation.

         (2) MARKETABLE EQUITY SECURITIES - Marketable equity securities are
         comprised of trading securities held for short-term investment purposes
         and are stated at fair value, with the change in fair value during the
         period included in earnings.



                                       8
<PAGE>   9
         (3) MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT - Owned machinery and equipment are stated
         at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the
         estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Machinery and
         equipment under capital leases are stated at the lower of the present
         value of minimum lease payments at the beginning of the lease term or
         fair value at the inception of the lease and are amortized over the
         lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the related
         assets.

         (4) INCOME TAXES - Deferred income taxes are recognized for income and
         expense items that are reported for financial purposes in different
         years than for income tax purposes.

         (5) NET EARNINGS PER SHARE - Net earnings per share amounts are
         computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during
         the period. Fully diluted earnings per share is presented if the
         assumed conversion of common stock equivalents results in material
         dilution.


B.       MARKETABLE SECURITIES

         As of September 30, 1999, the Company has an investment in marketable
         equity securities that are classified as trading securities whose cost
         of $42,511 exceeded the fair value of the securities by $10,572. Income
         in the amount of $8,053 has been recognized to account for the change
         in value of the marketable securities during the three-month period
         ended September 30, 1999. Income in the amount of $1,813 was recognized
         in the corresponding prior year period.


C.       CAPITAL LEASES AND LONG TERM OBLIGATIONS

         During the three months ended September 30, 1999, the Company reduced
         capital leases and other long-term obligations by $14,302.


D.       INCOME TAXES

         The Company follows SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".

         Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary
         differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
         financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax
         purposes. SFAS No. 109 requires that a valuation allowance be
         established to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more
         likely than not to be realized.

         Deferred income taxes result primarily from temporary differences in
         recognizing net operating losses for tax and financial reporting
         purposes.

         Income tax expense (benefit) for the three months ended September 30,
         1999 and 1998 consisted of current state income taxes in the amount of
         $4,970 and deferred income taxes in the amount of $22,944 during the
         three months ended September 30, 1999 and deferred income tax in the
         amount of $(21,480) during the three months ended September 30, 1998.

         Debtor-in-Possession ("RETEK"), a Delaware corporation, filed voluntary
         petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy
         Code.

         On July 3, 1997, Richard T. Clark and Joel C. Holt, shareholders and
         creditors of the Company, filed a Disclosure Statement and Plan of
         Reorganization ("Plan"). On November 13, 1997, the Plan was confirmed
         pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 1126 and has been filed with the
         Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 8-K dated November 13, 1997.

         This Plan is premised on the concept that the Claims and Interests of
         Creditors and Equity Security Holders are best served by an orderly
         reorganization of the Company built around the acquisition of Keystone
         Laboratories, Inc. and the establishment of a less expensive procedure
         for resolution of RETEK claims. KLI was acquired effective December 1,
         1997.

         As of September 30, 1999, the Company had working capital in the amount
         of $20,849, as compared to a working capital deficit at June 30, 1999
         in the amount of $240,868. The Company issued the remaining shares due
         pursuant to their bankruptcy plan, which retired the balance of the
         obligations to be paid in common stock, in the amount of $250,535. This
         accounts for the main working capital improvement. The Company expects
         to utilize earnings to provide its other working capital requirements.

         The Company's capital expenditure requirements are not significant and
         can be met from the working capital generated by net earnings and lease
         financing. The Company installed new gas chromatography/mass
         spectrometry equipment, which will be used in the test confirmation
         process during October 1999. The equipment cost of $68,768 was seller
         financed over four years.


B.       RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The Company operates solely as a forensic urine drug screening and
         confirmatory testing laboratory and has no other operating segments.


                             SALES AND COST OF SALES

         Total revenues decreased $48,134 (9%) during the three months ended
         September 30, 1999 as compared to the same three-month period ended
         September 30, 1998. During the three month period ended September 30,
         1999, the Company recognized a gross profit margin of 73% as compared
         to 64% during the same year earlier period.

         The Company's decreased revenue is primarily the result of the
         Company's customers experiencing less employment turnover. A large
         portion of the Company's revenue is based upon initial test procedures
         performed for new employees of its customers. The improved gross profit
         as a percentage of sales is due primarily to lower delivery costs and
         lower screen costs. The Company expects its operations to continue at
         the current levels.

                            OTHER EXPENSE AND INCOME

         The selling, general and administrative expenses of the Company
         decreased $75,162 (20%) during the three months ended September 30,
         1999 as compared to the same year earlier period. Approximately $45,000
         of this decrease is from a reduction in the legal and accounting costs
         associated with completion of the bankruptcy plan. The remaining
         decrease is a result of lower moving expense of $6,000, lower service
         contract costs of $8,000, lower travel costs of $6,000 and a reduction
         in other items which totals $10,000. Selling, general and
         administrative expenses were 64% of revenues during the three-month
         period ended September 30, 1999 as compared to 73% during the same year
         earlier period.

         Other expense includes interest expense incurred during the three
         months ended September 30, 1999 in the amount of $5,151 as compared to
         $7,340 in the same year earlier period.

         Other income includes $10,529 from amortization of the deferred gain
         realized in the sale-leaseback transaction during the three months
         ended September 30, 1998. The sale-leaseback transaction was entered
         into during the quarter ended December 31, 1997.

         During the three months ended September 30, 1999, the Company
         recognized an unrealized gain from their marketable equity securities
         in the amount of $8,053. During the same year earlier period, the
         Company recognized a gain in the amount of $1,813.
