                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                  ===========================================

  1.   Condensed footnotes:
       ------------------- 

       As contemplated by the Securities and Exchange Commission instructions to
  Form 10-Q, the following footnotes have been condensed and therefore do not
  contain all disclosures required in connection with annual financial
  statements.  Reference should be made to the notes to Crown Andersen Inc.'s
  annual financial statements set forth in its Form 10-K for the year ended
  September 30, 1995.

  2.   Discontinued operations:
       ----------------------- 

       During 1994, the Company sold the net assets of Crown and Roanoke to a
  single buyer for $7.1 million ($5.9 million in cash and $1.2 million under a
  note agreement.  This note of $1.2 million bears interest at 7% per annum,
  payable in two equal installments each year.  The principal is payable in
  seven installments over 60 months, requiring two payments of $50,000 each due
  on March 30 and September 29, 1996.  Four additional payments of $150,000 are
  due on March 30, 1997; September 30, 1997; March 29, 1998; and September 29,
  1998.  The seventh and final principal payment of $490,000 is due on September
  29, 1999.

       Effective June 30, 1989, the operations of the Company's Struthers
  thermo-Flood Corporation (STFC) subsidiary were substantially curtailed due to
  continuing financial problems resulting primarily from significant losses on
  two waste heat boiler contracts.  The STFC technology was sold to the Babcock
  & Wilcox on January 19, 1990.  During fiscal 1992, STFC vacated the leased
  Kansas property after it was discovered that it had been contaminated with
  organic solvents prior to the time of the acquisition of STFC by the Company.
  STFC filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection on August 12, 1992, and the
  trustee completed liquidation of STFC during February, 1994.  STFC was
  dissolved in fiscal year 1995.  Litigation has arisen in connection with the
  property formerly leased by STFC.  See Note 8.

  3.   Earnings per share:
       ------------------ 

       Earnings per share were computed by dividing consolidated net earnings by
  the number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  The stock
  options outstanding during 1994 and 1995 were antidilutive and thus did not
  affect earnings per share.

  4.   Stock options:
       ------------- 
 
       As of December 31, 1995, options to purchase 89,000 shares at an average
  price of $8.4219 were outstanding under the Company's stock option plan.

       The Company also has outstanding purchase warrants of 42,688 shares of
  common stock under the Directors Stock Warrant Plan at $9.4874 per share.

  5.   Revenue recognition:
       ------------------- 

       Revenues from contracts are reported on the percentage-of-completion
  method.  Under this method, the percentage of contract revenue to be
  recognized currently is based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to total
  estimated contract costs, after giving effect to the most recent estimate of
  costs to complete.  Revenues other than contracts are recorded when the
  product is shipped or the service is rendered to the customers.

  6.   Inventories:
       ----------- 

       Inventories were $2,731,083 and $671,672 as of December 31, 1995 and
  September 30, 1995, respectively.  The amount of $2,731,083 at December 31,
  1995 includes $2,020,000 of incineration equipment acquired from a former
  competitor on December 28, 1995.  This equipment is compatible with the
  Company's existing products.  The Company paid $1,000,000 in cash for this
  equipment inventory and the balance of $1,020,000 is payable in three
  installments over a two-year period under a non-interest bearing promissory
  note.

  7.   Equipment held for resale:
       ------------------------- 

       On September 30, 1992, the Company sold a soil processor unit under a
  financing-type lease arrangement.  As a result of the customer's default, the
  Company, during 1994, terminated the lease and repossessed the equipment.  On
  September 30, 1994, the Company

                                       6
<PAGE>
  reclassified this asset as equipment held for resale and reduced its carrying
  value from approximately $2.1 million to $1.8 million.  As of December 31,
  1995, the Company had further reduced the equipment carrying value to $1.3
  million.

  8.   Commitments and contingencies:
       ------------------------------

       There are no significant changes to the information discussed in the
  Company's annual report on Form 10K for the year ended September 30, 1995
  (Note 11 to the Consoli-dated Financial Statements).

                      CROWN ANDERSEN INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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

  Introduction:
  ------------ 

       Crown Andersen Inc. (Crown Andersen or the Company) is a publicly-traded
  holding company for Andersen 2000 Inc. (Andersen) and, through Andersen, owns
  all of the outstanding stock of Montair Andersen bv (Montair).  As used
  herein, unless otherwise indicated, the term "Company" refers to Crown
  Andersen and the above-referenced two subsidiaries and "Andersen" refers to
  Andersen and Montair.

       Late in fiscal 1994, the Company sold the assets of Crown Rotational
  Molded Products, Inc. (Crown) and its subsidiary, Roanoke Industries, Inc.
  (Roanoke) to Snyder Industries, Inc.  The Crown sale was approved by the
  shareholders in September, 1994.  The Company is no longer involved in the
  plastics business.  Its two remaining subsidiaries are engaged exclusively in
  the pollution control and waste processing equipment businesses.

  Liquidity and Capital Resources:
  ------------------------------- 

       Cash and cash equivalents of $2,170,455 at December 31, 1995 decreased
  $1,581,182 from the September 30, 1995 balance of $3,751,637.  The decrease
  was primarily attributable to a reduction of accounts payable and a $1,000,000
  cash payment made for the purchase of equipment inventory from a former
  competitor.  Cash used for operating activities amounted to $1,426,719.
  Decreases in payables and increases in inventories and costs and estimated
  earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts more than offset a
  decrease in receivables and net income plus depreciation and amortization of
  $423,559.  Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted
  contracts increased $714,867, as a result of costs associated with a large
  contract which was nearing completion during the first quarter of fiscal 1996.

       Cash used for investment activities totaled $11,432 and reflects capital
  expenditures (primarily at Montair).

       Cash used for financing activities totaled $141,062 and reflects
  reduction in long-term debt.

       As disclosed in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the
  Company repossessed certain equipment sold under a lease arrangement.  The
  Company has reduced the carrying value of this asset to approximately $1.3
  million as of December 31, 1995 and it is reflected as equipment held for
  resale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.  During the first
  quarter of 1996, the Company leased this equipment on a short-term basis and
  received $5,400.  This amount was offset against the net carrying value of the
  equipment.

       As indicated in Note 8 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
  Statements, the Company is one of several defendants in a legal action brought
  by various holders of Industrial Revenue Bonds issued by the cities of
  Winfield and Arkansas City, Kansas concerning the development of industrial
  property near Winfield, Kansas.  The Company believes that it has meritorious
  defenses to the litigation due to the fact that Crown Andersen was not a party
  to the bondholder's agreement, such agreement having been entered into by
  Struthers Thermo-Flood Corporation ("STFC") prior to STFC being acquired by
  the Company.  In response to the lawsuit, STFC filed a liquidation proceeding
  under Chapter 7 of the Federal Bankruptcy Act.  The Trustee in Bankruptcy
  abandoned the property on September 17, 1992.  The Bankruptcy Court entered an
  order of no distribution on February 10, 1994.  STFC was dissolved in March
  1995.  The Company and its counsel believe that there is a strong likelihood
  of a favorable outcome with no adverse financial results for

                                       8
<PAGE>

  the Company.  Another less likely outcome could result in the bondholders
  obtaining a judgement against the Company in an amount not exceeding $500,000
  plus attorneys' fees.  if a judgement were to be rendered against the Company
  for such amount, payment would be made using the Company's existing cash
  reserves or from funds available under its credit facility.

            As of December 31, 1995, the Company had borrowed $0.3 million
  against the credit facility of $0.9 million available to the Montair operation
  and had issued $1.8 million in letters of credit against its $3.0 million U.S.
  line of credit which has expired.  Because of profitable operations and $4.5
  million received from the sale of the plastics business, the Company has
  adequate cash reserves to meet its short-term cash needs.  The Company's line
  of credit with a U.S. bank expired in May 1995.  The Company has paid all
  outstanding advances from the U.S. bank.  While the bank has not renewed the
  agreement, it has allowed $1.8 million of letters of credit to continue
  outstanding against the expired line of credit.  The Company has had
  discussions with this bank and other banks for a replacement line of credit.

       Under its expired current loan agreement, the Company was required to
  obtain the bank's consent to pay cash dividends or to sell assets which
  constitute collateral.  The bank did not require compensation for its consent.

  Results of Operations:
  --------------------- 

  Revenues.
  ---------

         Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 were $5,247,199 compared
  with $4,729,183 for the comparable period of fiscal 1995 and $6,697,584 for
  the last quarter of fiscal 1995.  Foreign sales (including export sales by
  Andersen and sales by the Netherlands subsidiary) were $4.5 million and $4.4
  million for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively, and
  accounted for 85.0% and 93.6% of revenues, respectively.

       The increase in revenues of $518,016 (11%) from fiscal 1995 was
  attributable to a $487,547 increase at Andersen (94%) and an increase of
  $30,469 (6%) at Montair.  All changes in revenue are related to the quantity
  of product sold, not to pricing changes.

       The Company's revenue levels in the United States continued to be
  adversely affected by the moratorium on new hazardous waste incineration
  facilities in the United States.  The Company estimates that U.S. revenues
  have been reduced by approximately $2 - $3 million per year as a result of
  this moratorium.  The Company anticipates that foreign revenues will offset
  domestic revenue losses.  Because of the uncertainty in changes in United
  States regulations, it is impossible to predict changes in demands for the
  Company's products in the domestic market.

       The Company has been successful and will continue to rely on the
  international market to replace some of the lost U.S. business over the next
  two years.  The Company expects to at least maintain the current revenue
  levels in fiscal 1996.

       First quarter 1996 revenues decreased $1,450,385 (22%) from the preceding
  quarter revenues, primarily as a result of lower revenues of $1,068,857
  generated at Andersen.  Fourth quarter 1995 revenues reached a record high
  level of $6,697,584.

  Cost of Sales.
  --------------

       For the first quarter of fiscal 1996, cost of sales totaled $3,945,386
  compared with $3,745,537 in the comparable period of fiscal 1995 and
  $5,252,039 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995.

                                       9
<PAGE>

       The increase in cost of sales of $199,849 (5.3%) from the fiscal 1995
  quarter is the result of higher revenues and a margin improvement of 4.0%.
  This was largely attributable to operations at Andersen.

       First quarter 1996 costs of sales were $1,306,653 lower than in the
  fourth quarter of 1995, as a result of lower revenues.

  Selling, General and Administrative Costs.
  ------------------------------------------

         Selling, general and administrative costs for the first three months of
  fiscal 1996 were $903,908 compared with $727,050 for the first fiscal quarter
  of 1995 and $919,301 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995.  The increase of
  $176,858 (24.3%) over the comparable quarter in 1995 is entirely attributable
  to U.S. operations and reflects increases in commissions, professional fees,
  advertising, and travel expenses.  As a percentage of revenues, selling,
  general and administrative expenses were 17.2%, 15.4% and 13.7% of revenues
  for the fiscal quarters of 1996 and 1995 and the fourth quarter of fiscal
  1995.  Expenses for the current 1996 quarter decreased $9,383 (2%) from the
  preceding fiscal quarter.

  Interest and Other (Income) Expenses.
  -------------------------------------

       Interest and other (income) expenses for the first three months of fiscal
  1996 resulted in a credit of $14,854 compared with a credit of $43,533 for the
  first quarter of fiscal 1995 and a credit of $124,547 for the fourth quarter
  of 1995.  The credits in all periods reflect a substantial reduction in net
  interest costs as a result of offsetting interest income realized on short-
  term investments.  The lower credit of $28,679 in the first quarter of fiscal
  1996 reflects higher bad debt expense and a gain in disposition of assets
  recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 1995.  The lower credit of $109,693 in
  the current quarter, as compared to the preceding fiscal quarter, reflects
  lower interest income in the 1996 quarter and royalty income recorded in the
  fourth quarter of fiscal 1995.

  Taxes on Income.
  ----------------

       The effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 was 37.3%
  compared to 38.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 1995 and 30.2% for the
  fourth quarter of fiscal 1995.

  Net Income.
  -----------

       Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 was $258,859 or $0.17 per
  share, compared with $185,429 or $0.12 per share for the first quarter of
  fiscal 1995 and $453,945 or $0.29 per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal
  1995.

       The increase in earnings of $73,430 was the result of higher revenues.
  Operations at Andersen and Montair contributed equally to this increase.

       Earnings decreased $195,086 from the preceding fiscal quarter as a result
  of lower revenues, as revenues for the fourth quarter of 1995 reached a
  recordsetting level.  Operations at Andersen accounted for the entire decline
  in earnings.

  Shares Outstanding.
  -------------------

     5.   COVENANTS.
          --------- 

     5.1  Full Access.  From the date hereof to the Closing Date, during
          -----------                                                          
  reasonable times during normal business hours, Seller will give Purchaser and
  its representatives access to, and will cooperate as Purchaser may request in
  making available to it, all books, records and other information relating
  exclusively to the Product Line.

     5.2  Access to Books and Records.  Following the Closing, upon reasonable
          ---------------------------                                         
  notice and during reasonable times during normal business hours, Purchaser
  shall make the books and records available to Seller for inspection by Seller
  or its representatives with respect to Seller's operation of the Product Line
  prior to the Closing.  As used in this Section, the right of inspection
  includes the right to make abstracts or copies.

     5.3  Covenant to Satisfy Conditions.  Seller will use its best efforts to
          ------------------------------                                      
  ensure that the conditions set forth in Section 6 hereof are satisfied,
  including, without limitation, the deliveries to Purchaser provided for
  therein.  Purchaser will use its best efforts to ensure that the conditions
  set forth in Section 7 hereof are satisfied, including, without limitation,
  the deliveries to Seller provided for therein.

     5.4  Supplements to Schedules.  From time to time prior to the Closing
          ------------------------                                         
  Date, Seller will promptly supplement or amend the Schedules with respect to
  any matter hereafter arising which, if existing or occurring on the date of
  this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in the
  Schedules, but no such disclosure shall cure any breach of any

                                       5
<PAGE>
  warranty or representation which is known by Seller to be inaccurate when
  made.

     5.5  Publicity.  Each party will consult with the other party prior to
          ---------                                                        
  issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statement with
  respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and will not issue
  any such release or make any such statement over the reasonable objection of
  the other party, except as required by law; provided, however, that without
  the prior written approval of Seller, Purchaser will not disclose the
  existence of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (except to their
  own advisors) until after the Closing Date.

     5.6  Glaxo-Wellcome Assignment.  Pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption
          -------------------------                                            
  Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F, Seller shall assign and
  Purchaser shall assume and perform the Glaxo-Wellcome contract.  Purchaser and
  Seller acknowledge and agree that the aforementioned assignment (or the
  subcontract arrangement hereinafter described) is contingent upon obtaining
  the consent of Glaxo-Wellcome.  If Glaxo-Wellcome will not consent to such
  assignment Seller and Purchaser will use their best efforts to accomplish the
  anticipated end results of the assignment through the utilization of a
  subcontract.  In the event that Glaxo-Wellcome refuses to consent to the
  assignment or subcontract or if for any other reason whatsoever the Glaxo-
  Wellcome contract is not assigned or subcontracted to Purchaser, Seller shall
  credit Purchaser with $200,000 against the payment due on December 31, 1996
  under the Promissory Note attached hereto as Exhibit B. Purchaser and Seller
  hereby acknowledge and agree that damages arising from the inability to
  transfer the anticipated economic benefits of the Glaxo-Wellcome contact to
  Purchaser would be difficult if not impossible to calculate and that the
  crediting of $200,000 against the payments otherwise due constitutes
  liquidated damages and not a penalty and shall be Purchaser's sole and
  exclusive remedy against Seller with respect thereto.

     5.7  Noncompetition.
          -------------- 

            (a)  Seller hereby covenants and agrees with Purchaser that for the
                 six (6) year period following the Closing Date, Seller will not
                 as a principal, agent, owner, trustee, beneficiary,
                 distributor, partner, co-venturer, shareholder or in any other
                 capacity: own, operate or manage any entity, business, activity
                 or enterprise (other than as a 5% or less shareholder of a
                 publicly held corporation) which is engaged primarily in the
                 business of manufacturing, designing, marketing, or selling any
                 of the items included in the Product Line anywhere in the
                 United States or in any foreign country where Seller has sold
                 or solicited orders for products -included within the Product
                 Line during the one year period preceding the Closing Date.

                 In the event that any provision of this Section is determined
                 to be invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, the
                 provisions of this Section shall be deemed to have been

                                       6
<PAGE>
                 amended and the parties agree to execute any documents and take
                 whatever action is necessary to evidence such amendment, so as
                 to eliminate or modify any such invalid provision and to carry
                 out the intent of this Section so as to render the terms of
                 this Section enforceable in all respects as so modified.

            (c)  Seller acknowledges and agrees that irreparable injury may
                 result to Purchaser in the event Seller breaches any covenant
                 contained in this Section, and that the remedy at law for the
                 breach of any such covenant will be inadequate.  Therefore, if
                 Seller engages in any act in violation of the provisions of
                 this Section, Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to such
                 other remedies as may be available to it at law or under this
                 Agreement, to injunctive relief to enforce the provisions of
                 this Section.

            (d)  Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict Seller or
                 any of its affiliates from engaging any of the other businesses
                 which it currently operates or in operating such businesses in
                 the ordinary course.

     5.8  Sales and Use Taxes.  Purchaser shall be responsible for all sales and
          -------------------                                                   
  use taxes which may be imposed in connection with the sale or use of any of
  the Assets sold and transferred by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to this
  Agreement.

     5.9  Confidentiality.  Each party to this Agreement will hold in confidence
          ---------------                                                       
  all documents and information concerning the other party furnished to it in
