Waste Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.   Basis of Presentation:

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
     prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
     interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and
     Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
     information footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
     for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
     adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
     for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
     three-month period ended January 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative
     of the results that may be expected the year ending October 31, 1997. For
     further information, refer to the Company's Annual Report on form 10KSB
     for the year ended October 31, 1996 and the Management Discussion included
     in this form 10QSB.

2.   Accounting Policies:

     Stock-Based Compensation - In 1997, the Company will adopt SFAS No. 123,
     "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." This standard establishes a
     fair value method for accounting for stock-based compensation plans either
     through recognition or disclosure. The Company intends to adopt this
     standard by disclosing the pro forma net income and earnings per share
     amounts assuming the fair value method was adopted on November 1, 1996.
     The adoption of this standard will not impact its results of operations,
     financial position or cash flows.

3.   Earnings (Loss) Per Common and Common Equivalent Share:

     Earnings (loss) per common and common equivalent share are calculated
     using the weighted average number of common share outstanding during each
     year and on the net additional number of shares which would be issuable
     upon the exercise of stock options, assuming that the Company used the
     proceeds received to purchase additional shares at market value.

4.   Long-Term Debt:

     Long-term debt consists of the following:

</TABLE>

     The bank's prime rate at January 31, 1997 was 8.25%. The carrying value of
     the Company's debt approximates fair value.

     The term note payable to bank and the revolving promissory note contain
     certain covenants, whereby the Company must maintain, among other things,
     specified levels of minimum net worth and working capital, and maintain a
     specified ratio of maximum debt to worth, and current ratio. The term note
     payable contains cross default provisions as related to the revolving
     promissory note and other debt agreements.

     The Company is in violation of the covenants related to minimum net worth
     and maximum debt to worth. As of the date of issuance of these financial
     statements, the lender has not waived these covenant violations nor has it
     demanded repayment. While no assurance can be given, management believes
     its available collateral to be sufficient to allow the Company to
     renegotiate an extension of the revolving debt and covenant requirements
     prior to the expiration date of the debt or obtain alternative financing.

     The Company has pledged substantially all of its assets as collateral
     under the term loan and revolving loan agreement.

ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
            CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations:  Three Month Comparisons

For the first quarter of fiscal 1997 the Company had consolidated net sales of
$3,399,974 as compared to $3,177,627 for the first quarter 1996, an increase of
7.0 %. The increase in sales is primarily the result of higher shipments at the
company's new subsidiary, International Press and Shear (IPS), which started
operations in the fourth quarter of 1995.

Consolidated net income for the first quarter 1997 was $9,829 versus $240,097
in the first quarter of 1996. Earnings per share for the first quarter were
$.00 and $.09 for 1997 and 1996 respectively. The lower earnings and the
decrease in the gross profit margin is directly related to the operations at
the IPS subsidiary in Baxley, Georgia. The losses incurred by the new
subsidiary were the result of costs related to a start-up operation and the
continuing weakness in the corrugated board and paper prices in the recycled
products markets. Also, the first quarter results for 1996 included income of
$80,000 due to the recording of a deferred tax asset which was reversed in the
fourth quarter of 1996.

The IPS operations have been pared down to a level which is commensurate with
the current corrugated and paper recycling market conditions. This subsidiary
is now running efficiently and management anticipates that IPS will be
operating at a near break-even level for the remainder of 1997.


The backlog as of February 28, 1997 was $2,092,000 as compared with $3,456,000
as of February 29, 1996, a decrease of 39.5%.

Financial Condition:

Net working capital increased from $1,333,765 at October 31, 1996 to
$1,409,385. This increase is the result of an increase in accounts receivable
partially offset by lower inventories and higher accounts payable, notes
payable and accrued liabilities. Due to the revolving loan renewal date of July
7, 1997, the entire term note balance of $604,861, which is callable, is shown
as a current liability.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued

Financial Condition, Continued:

The revolving note payable to SouthTrust Bank in the amount of $1,000,000 was
renewed in July 1996 at the prime rate. Interest is payable monthly and all
amounts borrowed are due in full on July 7, 1997. The balance due at January
31, 1997 was $871,652. At January 31, 1997, the Company is in violation of the
covenants of the loan agreement related to minimum net worth and maximum debt
to worth. As of the filing date, the lender has not waived these covenant
violations nor has it demanded repayment. While no assurance can be given,
management believes its available collateral to be sufficient to allow the
Company to renegotiate an extension of the revolving debt and its covenant
requirements prior to its expiration date or obtain alternative financing. It
is anticipated that the note will be renewed in July, 1997.

Management is continuing to monitor the IPS operation in order to ensure that
the liquidity position of the company is maintained.

The Company has no commitments for any material capital expenditures. Other
than as set forth above, there are no unusual or infrequent events of
transactions or significant economy changes which materially effect the amount
of reported income from continuing operations.

Inflation:

The cost of the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to the general
inflationary trends existing in the general economy. The Company believes that
expected pricing by its subsidiaries for balers will be able to include
sufficient increases to offset any increase in costs due to inflation.
