ITEM 2.
    
 
   
     On April 30, 1996, GSE (UK) Limited, a United Kingdom company and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Gundle/SLT Environmental, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), acquired all of the outstanding capital stock (the
"Stock") of S.G.S. Holdings Limited, a United Kingdom company ("S.G.S.") for a
cash consideration of L3,560,000 and the assumption of certain obligations of
S.G.S. in the amount of L391,000. S.G.S. manufactures synthetic lining material
and will continue to be utilized in this capacity by the Company. The Stock was
acquired from R.A. Young, J.R. Young and S.E. Mitchell (collectively, the
"Sellers"). The amount of the consideration was determined through direct
negotiation with the Sellers and was paid out of general working capital of the
Company.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
    
   
                  TO THE DIRECTORS OF S.G.S. HOLDINGS LIMITED
    
 
   
     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of S.G.S.
Holdings Limited as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related profit and
loss accounts and statements of cashflows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
    
 
   
     We conducted our audits in accordance with United Kingdom auditing
standards which do not differ in any significant respect from United States
generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurances about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by the management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
    
 
   
     In our opinion the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of S.G.S.
Holdings Limited at December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1995 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
Kingdom which differ in certain respects from those followed in the United
States (see Note 23 of the notes to the Financial Statements).

                       NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  FOR THE THREE YEARS ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 1995
 
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
 
     These financial statements comprise a consolidation of the financial
statements of S.G.S. Holdings Limited (the "Company") and its wholly-owned
subsidiary SGS Geosystems Limited ("SGS"). The Company, together with SGS, has
been acquired by G.S.E. (UK) Limited pursuant to an agreement dated 30th April
1996 with effect from 1st May 1996.
 
     These financial statements do not comprise the Company's "statutory
accounts" within the meaning of section 240 of the Companies Act 1985 of Great
Britain. Statutory accounts of the Company for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1995, on which the auditors have given unqualified
audit reports, have been, or will be, delivered to the Registrar of Companies in
England and Wales.
 
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
2.1 ACCOUNTING CONVENTION
 
     The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention
modified to include the revaluation of plant and machinery.
 
2.2 TURNOVER
 
     Turnover represents the invoiced value of sales, net of Value Added Tax.
 
2.3 RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
 
     Research expenditure is written off to the profit and loss account in the
year in which it is incurred.
 
2.4 TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION
 
     Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or valuation less depreciation.
Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation
less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as
follows:
 
<TABLE>
<S>                            <C>   <C>
Plant and machinery              --  8.52% - 15% p.a. Straight line
Fixtures, fittings and
  equipment                      --  20% - 33% p.a. Straight line
Motor vehicles                   --  33% p.a. Straight line
</TABLE>
 
     Freehold and long leasehold land and buildings are not depreciated because,
in the opinion of the directors, any such depreciation required would be
immaterial.
 
2.5 PENSIONS
 
     The pension costs charged in the financial statements represent the
recharged contributions in respect of the company's staff paid by the parent
company into its schemes.
 
2.6 STOCK
 
     Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
 
2.7 LEASING AND HIRE PURCHASE COMMITMENTS
 
     Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are
capitalised as tangible assets and depreciated over the shorter of the lease
term and their useful lives. Obligations under such agreements are included in
creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance
element of the rental

                            S.G.S. HOLDINGS LIMITED
 
                NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
payment is charged to the profit and loss account so as to produce a constant
periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.
 
     Rentals payable under operating leases are charged against income on a
straight line basis over the lease term.
 
2.8 DEFERRED TAXATION
 
     Provision is made for deferred taxation using the liability method to take
account of timing differences between the incidence of income and expenditure
for taxation and accounting purposes except to the extent that the directors
consider that a liability to taxation is unlikely to crystallise.
 
2.9 FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
 
     Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are
translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the accounting date.
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date
of the transaction. All differences are taken to profit and loss account.
 
3. TURNOVER
 
     The total turnover of the Group for the period has been derived from its
principal activity wholly undertaken in the U.K.

23. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED
    
     IN THE UNITED KINGDOM AND THE UNITED STATES.
 
     The financial statements are prepared under accounting principles generally
accepted in the United Kingdom ("U.K. GAAP") which differ in certain respects
from United States generally accepted principles ("U.S. GAAP"). Differences
estimated to have a significant effect on consolidated net income and
shareholders' equity are set out below.
 
  (a) Revaluation of plant and machinery
 
     Certain of SGS's plant and machinery was revalued in 1991 on the basis of
its value to the business and is included in these financial statements at that
valuation less subsequent depreciation. Under U.S. GAAP, such revaluations would
not be reflected in the financial statements. Plant and machinery would be
included at its historical cost under U.S. GAAP with depreciation computed on
such cost.
 
  (b) Deferred taxation
 
     Provision is made for deferred taxation using the liability method on all
material timing differences to the extent that it is probable that the
liabilities will crystallize in the foreseeable future. Under U.S. GAAP, as set
out in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for
Income Taxes", deferred taxation is generally provided on a full liability basis
on all temporary differences.
 
  (c) Dividends
 
     Under U.K. GAAP, dividends are recorded in the financial statements for the
period to which the dividend relates. Under U.S. GAAP, the liability for
dividends is recorded in financial statements when declared. The proposed final
dividend and the related advance corporation tax for 1995, would not, therefore,
be included in the financial statements if prepared in accordance with U.S.
GAAP.
 
     The following is a summary of the effect of the above differences on profit
on ordinary activities after taxation (net income) and equity shareholders'
funds:

  Consolidated cash flow statement
 
     The consolidated statements of cash flows prepared in accordance with U.K.
GAAP present substantially the same information as that required under U.S.
GAAP. U.K. GAAP and U.S. GAAP differ, however, with regard to classification of
items within the statements and as regards the definition of cash and cash
equivalents.
 
     Under U.S. GAAP, cash and cash equivalents would not include bank
overdrafts and borrowings with initial maturities of less than three months.
Under U.K. GAAP, cash flows are presented separately for operating activities,
servicing of finance and returns on investments, taxation, investing activities
and financing activities. U.S. GAAP, however, requires only three categories of
cash flow activity to be reported: operating, investing and financing. Cash
flows from taxation and servicing of finance and returns on investments shown
under U.K. GAAP would be included as operating activities under U.S. GAAP.
 
     The categories of cash flow activity under U.S. GAAP can be summarized as
follows:

                   NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED
    
                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
   
     The accompanying pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements (the
"Pro Forma Financial Statements") are based on adjustments to the historical
consolidated financial statements of Gundle/SLT Environmental, Inc. ("GSE" or
the "Company") to give effect to the acquisition described in Note 3. The pro
forma consolidated balance sheets assume the acquisition was consummated on the
balance sheet dates. The pro forma consolidated statements of income assume the
acquisition was consummated as of the beginning of the periods presented. The
pro forma consolidated statements of income are not necessarily indicative of
results that would have occurred had the acquisition been consummated as of
January 1, 1995 or January 1, 1996 or that might be attained in the future.
Certain information normally included in the financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles has been condensed or
omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the historical financial statements of GSE, the historical financial
statements of the acquired company and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K.
    
 
   
     The financial statements of S.G.S. included in these pro forma consolidated
financial statements were prepared in accordance with United States generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP). A financial statement reconciliation of
the differences between U.S. and U.K. GAAP is included in Note 23 of the audited
financial statements of S.G.S. included in this Form 8-K. The S.G.S. balance
sheets and income statements included in these pro forma consolidated financial
statements were translated at the end of period and average foreign exchange
rates respectively.
    
 
(2) EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
     Pro forma earnings per share were computed by dividing net income
applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period.
 
(3) ACQUISITION
 
   
     On April 30, 1996, GSE (UK) Limited, a United Kingdom company, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired all of the outstanding capital
stock (the "Stock") of S.G.S. Holdings Limited, a United Kingdom company
("S.G.S.") for cash consideration of $5,447,000 and the assumption of certain
obligations of S.G.S. in the amount of $600,000. S.G.S. manufactures synthetic
lining material and will continue to be utilized in this capacity by the
Company. The Stock was acquired from R.A. Young, J.R. Young and S.E. Mitchell
(collectively, the "Sellers"). The amount of the consideration was determined
through direct negotiation with the Sellers and was paid out of general working
capital of the Company.
    
 
   
     The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the
results of operations of S.G.S. have been included in the consolidated results
of operations of GSE from the date of acquisition.
    
 
(4) ADJUSTMENTS TO HISTORICAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
   
     The following pro forma adjustments have been made to the historical
consolidated financial statements of GSE to give effect to the acquisition of
S.G.S. described in Note 3.
    
 
   
    (a) To reflect the acquisition of S.G.S. including the (i) purchase price
    allocated to goodwill and (ii) the repayment of long-term debt.
    
 
   
    (b) To record the amortization of goodwill.
    
 
   
    (c) To reduce interest expense related to the long-term debt retired in
    conjunction with the acquisition.
    
 
   
    (d) To reflect the change in income taxes related to the pro forma
    adjustments.
