              (Formerly Comprehensive Environmental Systems, Inc.)
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     FOR THE QUARTER ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1996
                                   (Unaudited)

(1)  Consolidated Financial Statements The consolidated balance sheet at the end
     of the preceding fiscal year has been derived from the audited consolidated
     balance sheet  contained in the Company's  Form 10-KSB and is presented for
     comparative  purposes.  All other financial  statements are unaudited.  All
     unaudited  amounts are subject to year-end  adjustments and audit,  but the
     Company believes all  adjustments,  consisting only of normal and recurring
     adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of
     operations and changes in cash flows for all interim periods presented have
     been  made.  The  results  of  operations  for  interim   periods  are  not
     necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

     Footnote  disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles have been omitted
     in accordance  with the published  rules and  regulations of the Securities
     and Exchange Commission.  These consolidated financial statements should be
     read in  conjunction  with  the  financial  statements  and  notes  thereto
     included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the most recent fiscal year.

(2)  Management  Restructuring  Costs  As part of the  management  restructuring
     during  September  1996,  the Company  entered  into  separate  termination
     agreements with the former Chief Executive Officer("CEO"),  Chief Operating
     Officer("COO") and Special Securities  Counsel("SSC") to the Company. These
     agreements  call for pay-outs of existing  compensation  arrangements  plus
     additional   benefits  in  the  form  of   transferring  an  investment  in
     non-marketable  securities  of $330,000,  issuing  stock  options and other
     miscellaneous benefits.  Included in Management  Restructuring Costs on the
     Consolidated  Statements of Income are the termination costs related to the
     former CEO and SSC for $216,000 and $35,000,  respectively.  At October 31,
     1997, approximately $176,000 of the amounts due the former CEO, represented
     by a promissory  note,  are included in Long-term  Debt.  Also  included in
     Management  Restructuring  Costs are amounts actually paid and the value of
     the  non-marketable  securities  transferred at closing of the  termination
     agreement  with  the  former  COO  totaling  $594,000  As a  result  of the
     indictment  of the former  COO and SCC in October  1996 on charges of stock
     fraud and manipulation,  the Company has withheld  subsequent  payments and
     has not accrued for the unpaid  balance of the  termination  agreement with
     the former COO totaling approximately $636,000. Even if the indictments and
     the  allegations  contained  therein  are proven not to be true,  there was
     still a lack of fiduciary  responsibility to the Company by both the former
     COO and SSC.  In light of the  facts and  circumstances,  the  Company  has
     already  made  formal  demands  to the COO and  SSC for the  return  of all
     consideration  paid and  assets  transferred  pursuant  to the  termination
     agreements  through the date of the indictment  and is vigorously  pursuing
     this  matter.   The  Company  has  also   formally   cancelled  all  option
     certificates   previously   issued  in  connection   with  the  termination
     agreements.   In   addition,   Management   Restructuring   Costs   include
     approximately   $348,000  of  legal  and  professional   fees  incurred  in
     connection with these agreements and the subsequent  matters resulting from
     the indictment.

              WINDSWEPT ENVIRONMENTAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              (Formerly Comprehensive Environmental Systems, Inc.)
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     FOR THE QUARTER ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1996
                                   (Unaudited)

(4)  Restatement of Consolidated  Financial Statements The 10-QSB for the period
     ended October 31, 1996 is being restated to reflect a current period charge
     for $792,000 of previously deferred  restructuring costs as well as include
     those costs,  previously categorized as other expenses,  $401,000, as costs
     included in determining income from operations. The restatement resulted in
     a decrease in net income and accumulated deficit of $792,000,  or a loss of
     $.09 per share in each respective period. The Company originally  reported,
     $139,325,  or $.02  earnings  per  share,  for the three  month  period and
     $594,806,  or $.07  earnings  per share,  for the six month  period.  These
     numbers  were  restated  to a net loss of  $(652,675),  or  (.07)  loss per
     share.for the three month period, and $(197,194),  or $(.02) loss per share
     for the six month period ended.

     In  connection  with the April 30,  1997 year end  accounting  closing  and
     subsequent analysis performed,  it was determined that errors had been made
     with respect to the  determination  of the  carrying  value of the deferred
     income  tax asset as of April 30,  1996 and April 30,  1995.  In  addition,
     $432,000 of  compensation  paid to a former officer of the Company had been
     accounted for as a reduction of additional  paid-in capital during the year
     ended April 30,1996. The effect of these changes resulted in an increase to
     the Company's Accumulated Deficit of $3,016,000, a decrease in the Deferred
     income tax asset of  $2,584,000,  and an increase of $432,000 in additional
     paid-in capital as of April 30, 1996. The Company  further  determined that
     the October 31, 1996  10-QSB/A-1  included  additional  misstatements.  The
     accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  restated  to
     correct the  errors,  resulting  in the  following  changes to  accumulated
     deficit as of October 31, 1996 and the related consolidated  statements for
     the six month period then ended.

     and  October  31,   1996,   were  made   decreasing   selling  and  general
     administrative  expenses and increasing cost of sales to reflect the proper

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.

The following discussion of the fiscal quarters ended October 31, 1996 and 1995,
is being updated as of September 29, 1997 and should be read in conjunction with
the Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

Core  operations for the six months showed revenues and a net loss of $8,252,000
and  $915,000,  respectively,  versus  $6,372,000  and net  income of  $301,000,
respectively,  for the same period last year. This represents an increase of 30%
in revenues from the prior year  resulting  from the expansion of  environmental
service  operations.  For the quarter ended October 31, 1996, revenues increased
approximately  $576,000, or 22%, from the same period last year. The current net
loss is the direct result of Management  Restructuring Costs discussed in Note 2
and below.

Gross profit decreased to 28% compared to 39% for the first six months of fiscal
1996.  The gross profit also  decreased from 36% to 24% when comparing the three
months ended October 31, 1995 to 1996.  This  decrease  results from a change in
the mix of work  compared to last year,  to  environmental  services and testing
operations,  which is more labor intensive,  as well as certain larger contracts
that normally carry a slightly lower gross profit margin.

Selling,  general and administrative  expenses decreased  approximately  268,000
from the first six months of last year  compared to the first six months of this
year. As a percentage of revenues, these expenses were approximately 27% and 39%
for the six months ended October 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. These expenses
also  decreased  $30,000 when  comparing  the quarter  ended October 31, 1996 to
1995. This is the direct result of management's  continued efforts to streamline
overhead and build a more efficient operation.

Management  restructuring  costs include  non-recurring  charges for termination
expenses  for the  COO,  CEO  and  SCC  for  $594,000,  $  216,000  and  35,000,
respectively as well as legal fees for  approximately  $348,000.  At October 31,
1996,  only  $176,000  remains  as an  obligation  to the CEO.  As  such,  these
settlements will not have a significant  impact on future cash flows,  financial
condition or results of operations.

The gain on sale of assets  results  primarily  from the sale of a  professional
engineering  licence  in the name of New York  Testing  Laboratories,  Inc.  for
$225,000 during the current quarter for cash.

During the quarter ended October 31, 1996, the Company  settled its  arbitration
action with Spartan  Dismantling Corp. for $300,000 and is included as income in
settlement of legal claims.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

Working  capital at October 31, 1996 including  cash, was $1,657,000 an increase
of $951,000 or 135% from April 30, 1996. Cash and accounts receivable  increased
by $164,000 and  $597,000,  respectively  from April 30, 1996. As of October 31,
1996, the current ratio was 1.8:1. This represents a substantial  improvement in
liquidity  from April 30,  1996 where such ratio was 1.35:1.  It is  managements
continued goal to maintain low levels of long-term debt financing.

During the six months ended  October 31, 1996,  the Company  raised net proceeds
from the issuance of common stock of approximately  $1,082,000.  Said funds were
used to purchase various  operational  fixed assets,  provide working capital to
finance  accounts  receivable  and pay  monies  required  at the  closing of the
termination agreements in September 1996.

The Company  believes that the current  levels of working  capital and liquidity
will not be sufficient to support the continued increase in its revenue base and
scope of operations.  In this regard,  management will be seeking new sources of
permanent capital through domestic private  placements of equity and convertible
debt as well as establishing a working capital credit facility with a local bank
to finance accounts receivable to enhance cash flow and business growth.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Pending Litigation
- ------------------

In  November,  1994,  the  Company  commenced  a civil  action in New York State
Supreme  Court to recover  monies  advanced to Mohave Shores  Development,  Inc.
("Mohave")  in  anticipation  of  developing  land on an Indian  reservation  in
Arizona.  The Company  seeks the return of its $250,000  deposit plus legal fees
and punitive damages.  Management intends to continue aggressively pursuing this
matter.

In a civil action which was commenced in August 1995 in United  States  District
Court,  the Company,  various current and prior officers and directors have been
named in a lawsuit with various  shareholders  from Seattle,  Washington who had
purchased  shares  through  the  same  broker.   The  lawsuit  contains  various
allegations  asserting  misrepresentations  to the broker and  non-disclosure in
public filings of various Reg-S and S-8 stock issuances made by the Company from
August  through  October  1994.  The officers and  directors  named in the civil
action were Messrs. Mangan (Chief Operating Officer), Varsi (President),  Lehrer
(Chairman & CEO), Mazzella (Director) and O'Reilly (Director). Management denies
any  wrongdoing,  asserts  that the  complaint  is without  merit and intends to
vigorously defend these claims. The Company settled this lawsuit in May 1997 for
approximately  $120,000,  net of insurance  proceeds,  with monthly  payments of
$6,250.
