                      CROWN ANDERSEN INC AND SUBSIDIARIES

                  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, 1997.

2.   Earnings per share:
     ------------------ 

     Earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average of common
shares, common stock options (using the treasury stock method) in accordance
with FAS 128 "Earnings Per Share."  The stock options outstanding during 1997
and 1998 were antidilutive and thus did not affect earnings per share.

3.   Stock options:
     ------------- 
 
     As of March 31, 1998, options to purchase 44,000 shares at an average price
of $6.44 were outstanding under the Company's stock option plan.

     The Company also has outstanding warrants to purchase 15,000 shares of
common stock under the Directors Stock Warrant Plan at $10.50 per share.

4.   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.

5.   Inventories:
     ----------- 

     Inventories were $2,496,599 and $2,566,179 as of March 31, 1998 and
September 30, 1997.  Included in inventories is approximately $1,761,000 related
to incineration equipment purchased from a former competitor.

6.   Restricted cash:
     --------------- 

     As of March 31, 1998, $1,036,000 of the Company's short-term investments
were held by banks as collateral for an outstanding letter of credit.  The
letter of credit expires in 1999.

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 reclassified this asset as equipment held for
resale and reduced its carrying value from approximately $2.1 million to $1.8
million.  The Company employs an outside appraiser and reviews the carrying
value of this unit on a periodic basis.  Through March 31, 1998, the carrying
value of this unit has been reduced to $580,000.  The adjustments to carrying
value have been charged to operations in each respective year.

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, 1997 (Note
11 to the Consoli-dated Financial Statements), except as described in Note 9
("Subsequent Event") below.

9.   Subsequent event:
     -----------------

     On April 20, 1998, a settlement agreement was finalized between Crown
Andersen Inc and the plaintiffs (Textron Investment Management Company and The
Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company) in a lawsuit over principal and interest
payments and legal fees for certain Winfield, Kansas property formerly occupied
by Struthers Thermo-Flood Corp., a former Crown Andersen subsidiary.

     Under terms of the settlement, the Registrant agreed to pay the plaintiffs
$2,300,000 in cash ($1,630,000 immediately and $670,000 twelve months later).
In exchange for the payment, all litigation will stop and the Registrant will
receive the property (buildings, equipment, and all contents), certain escrow
accounts valued at $180,000 and the assignment of lease payments of
approximately $120,000 per year.  The Company intends to sell the property and
will recognize a one-time net loss in the range of $300,000 - $600,000 in the
fiscal quarter ending June 30, 1998.

                      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).  The Company is
engaged exclusively in the pollution control and waste processing businesses.

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

     Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 1998 decreased $2,579,298 from the
September 30, 1997 balance of $4,894,371.  The decrease was primarily
attributable to an increase in receivables and a decrease in payables.  The
decrease in payables reflects the reclassification of $400,000 in warranty
accrual to cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted
contracts.  This reclassification was necessary to remove $400,000 carried in
the warranty accrual for a completed project that is in litigation, with an
offsetting amount in the cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings asset
account with no impact in the resulting cash flow from operating activities.
The increase in receivables is related to projects completed and billed in March
1998 and collected in April 1998.  Cash used for operating activities amounted
to $2,255,598.  The increase in receivables and the decrease in payables
amounting to $3,598,232 more than offset a decrease in costs and estimated
earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts of $1,375,211 and net
income plus depreciation of $361,375.

     Montair realized a positive operating cash flow as a result of a decrease
in inventories and an increase in payables which offset a net loss of $43,736
for the six month period.

     Cash provided by investing activities amounted to $98,829 and included
$150,000 collected from a note receivable, offset by $51,171 in capital
expenditures.

     Cash used for financing activities reflects a reduction in long-term debt
of $444,736, and the issuance of treasury stock of $24,027.

     As disclosed in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, during
1994 the Company repossessed certain equipment sold under a lease arrangement.
The Company has reduced the carrying value of this asset to $580,000 as of March
31, 1998 and it is reflected as equipment held for resale in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet.  The Company is attempting to market this equipment
for sale.

     As indicated in Note 9 (Subsequent Event), on April 20, 1998, a settlement
agreement was finalized between Crown Andersen Inc and the plaintiffs (Textron
Investment Management Company and The Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company) in a
lawsuit over principal and interest payments and legal fees for certain
Winfield, Kansas property formerly occupied by Struthers Thermo-Flood Corp., a
former Crown Andersen subsidiary.

     Under terms of the settlement, the Registrant agreed to pay $2,300,000 in
cash ($1,630,000 immediately and $670,000 in twelve months).  In exchange for
the payment, all litigation will stop and the Registrant will receive the
property (buildings, equipment, and all contents), certain escrow accounts
valued at $180,000 and the assignment of lease payments of approximately
$120,000 per year.  The Company intends to sell the property and will recognize
a one-time net loss in the range of $300,000 - $600,000 in the fiscal quarter
ending June 30, 1998.  The Company will use its existing cash reserves and funds
available under its credit facility to effect this settlement.

     As of March 31, 1998, the Company had no borrowings against its $5.0
million line of credit and the $0.4 million credit facility available to
Montair.  The amount of $4.2 million remained available for borrowing under
these credit facilities as $1.3 million in letters of credit are outstanding
against the U.S. line of credit.  The Company expects to utilize its existing
credit facility and current cash reserves to effect the settlement of litigation
mentioned above and to fund anticipated cash needs resulting from a temporary

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
slowdown in its business.  Current cash reserves and the credit facility will
provide the Company with adequate liquidity for the short term.

     Under the current loan agreement, the Company is required to obtain the
bank's consent to pay cash dividends, purchase treasury stock, or to sell assets
which constitute collateral.  The Company obtained permission to purchase up to
$400,000 of treasury stock.  A total of $295,733 of net treasury stock purchases
is reflected in the Company's balance sheet as of March 31, 1998.

     In the year 2000, many computer programs with date sensitive software may
recognize year 2000 as the year 1900.  This could result in a system failure or
miscalculations causing disruption in processing business transactions.  The
Company has been informed that its accounting software is year 2000 compliant.
The computer hardware is also year 2000 compliant.  The Company's engineering
software is also unaffected by year 2000 and the Company is actively changing
its FORTRAN computer system over to a more modern system.  However, there can be
no guarantees that all the Company's systems that will be affected have been
identified.

     As of March 31, 1998, the Company's equity in its Montair operation had
declined in value by $76,942 from September 30, 1997 as a result of a decrease
in the foreign currency translation adjustment, reflecting a 5% increase in the
U.S. dollar against the Dutch guilder.

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

Revenues.
- ---------

     Revenues for the first six months of fiscal 1998 were $9,255,397 compared
with $10,672,154 for the first six months of fiscal 1997.  For the second
quarter of fiscal 1998, revenues were $4,484,473 compared with $5,759,898 for
the comparable figure in 1997 and $4,770,924 for the first three months of
fiscal 1998.  Foreign sales (including export sales by Andersen and sales by the
Netherlands subsidiary) were $7.3 million and $9.4 million  for the first six
months of 1998 and 1997, respectively, and accounted for 79.0% and 88.3% of
revenues.  All changes in revenues are related to the quantity of product sold,
not to pricing changes.

     The decrease in mid year revenues of $1,416,757 (13%) from fiscal 1997 was
attributable to revenue decreases of $755,658 and $661,099 at Andersen and
Montair, respectively.  This is the result of the economic downturn in Asia.

     The Company continues to rely on the international market for most of its
revenues.  Demand for the Company's products in the domestic market has remained
low over the last four years because of uncertainty in changes in United States
regulations.  There has been a substantial slowdown in the Asian markets which
the Company has served in the last five years, and the slowdown has not been
offset by any other markets.  The Company expects to receive orders with a value
in excess of $6.0 million in the third or fourth quarter of fiscal 1998.
Depending on timing, these orders may have a favorable impact in fiscal 1998
results.   However, the Company expects even more uncertainties in the foreign
markets because of currency problems in countries where the Company has been
doing business.  To date, the Company has not experienced a decline in bidding
activity.  Despite the high bidding activity, however, the Company has
experienced a very abrupt slowdown in the receipt of new orders, which will
adversely impact revenue levels and net income for fiscal 1998.

     Second quarter 1998 revenues decreased by $1,285,425 (22%) from the
comparable period in 1997.  Revenues at Andersen decreased $672,493 while
revenues at Montair decreased $612,932.

     Second quarter 1998 revenues declined $286,451 (6%) from the preceding
fiscal quarter.  This decrease was entirely attributable to Montair, where two
orders were delayed by the purchasers during the quarter.  Both orders have been
released, immediately after the close of the quarter.

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

     For the first six months of fiscal 1998, cost of sales totaled $7,552,818,
as compared with $8,036,775 for the first six months of fiscal 1997.  Second
quarter 1998 cost of sales were $3,778,120 as compared with $4,387,398 for the
second quarter of 1997 and $3,774,698 for the first quarter of 1998.

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
     The decrease in six month cost of sales of $483,957 (6%) from 1997, was due
to lower revenues, offset partially by a decrease in margins due to fixed costs,
which did not decline with the revenues.  Second quarter 1998 cost of sales
decreased $609,278 from 1997, primarily as a result of lower revenues.

     Second quarter 1998 cost of sales increased $3,422 from the preceding
fiscal quarter, primarily as a result of a 5% decline in margins which is the
result of fixed costs which do not vary with revenues.

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

     Selling, general and administrative costs for the first six months of
fiscal 1998 were $1,594,935 compared with $1,724,482 for the first six months of
fiscal 1997.  For the second quarter of 1998, selling, general and
administrative costs were $751,636, as compared with $841,671 in the comparable
period of 1997 and $843,299 for the first quarter of 1998.  As a percentage of
revenues, selling, general and administrative costs were 17.3%, 16.2%, 16.7%,
14.6% and 17.7% of revenues for the first six months of 1998 and 1997; the
second quarter of 1998 and 1997, and the first quarter of 1998, respectively.
The current period decreases of $129,547 (7%) and $90,035 (11%) from the
comparable six months and second quarter periods of fiscal 1997 are primarily
attributable to a reduction in the valuation provision on equipment held for
resale.

     Second quarter 1998 expenses decreased by $91,663 (11%) from the preceding
quarter, primarily attributable to operations at Andersen.

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

     Interest and other income (expenses) for the first six months of fiscal
1998 resulted in a credit of $107,520 compared with a credit of $16,786 for the
comparable period in 1997.  For the second quarter of 1998, interest and other
expenses were $57,466 (credit), compared to expenses of $3,837 in the second
quarter of 1997, and a credit of $50,054 for the first quarter of 1998.  The
decreases of $90,734 and $61,303 for the current six months and second quarter
from the comparable periods of 1997 reflect lower net interest cost and lower
bad debt expense.  During the current quarter, costs decreased $7,412 from the
preceding quarter as a result of lower bad debt expense.

     Interest cost is expected to increase during the second half of fiscal 1998
and fiscal 1999 as a result of anticipated borrowings against the bank line of
credit.

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

     The effective tax rates for all periods are:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
 
<S>                               <C>
     First 6 months of 1998       31.3%
     First 6 months of 1997       36.0%
     Second quarter of 1998       27.1%
     Second quarter of 1997       35.7%
     First quarter of 1998        31.6%
</TABLE>
Net Income.
- -----------

     Net income for the first six months of 1998 was $147,764 or $0.10 per
share, compared with $593,583 or $0.39 per share for the first six months of
1997.  For the second quarter of 1998, net income was $8,883 or $0.01 per share
compared with $345,092 or $0.23 per share for the second quarter of 1997 and
$138,881 or $0.09 per share for the first quarter of 1998.

     Net income in the current six months and second quarter periods decreased
$445,819 (75%) and $336,209 (97%) from the comparable periods of 1997 as a
result of an abrupt slowdown in business with lower revenues and lower operating
margins.  Lower selling, general and administrative expenses and lower interest
costs partly offset the adverse impact of lower revenues.  Montair suffered a
net loss of $43,736 for the first six months of 1998, after realizing a net
income of $35,558 in the first quarter.

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
     Net income decreased $129,998 from the preceding fiscal quarter, primarily
as a result of lower revenues and lower operating margins.

     Based on an abnormally low backlog of orders to be filled and a very slow
incoming order rate, the Company expects a substantial loss in the third fiscal
quarter, even before the legal settlement costs on the property settlement. (See
Note 9, "Subsequent Event" on Page 7, and Part II, Item 6(c)).  The overall
impact on year-end income cannot be determined at this time until incoming
orders in the third and fourth quarters are received.

     The Company has instituted some substantial cost cutting measures to
minimize the adverse effect of the lower incoming order rate and the resultant
reduced net income.
