                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   Business and Organization

     Ecos Group, Inc. ("The Company") is engaged, through its wholly-owned
     subsidiary, Evans Environmental and Geological Science and Management,
     Inc., in environmental consulting and other environmental related services.
     Prior to the sale of American Remedial Technologies, Inc. on October 22,
     1997, the Company provided soil remediation services. Until April 3, 1996,
     the Company was also engaged in the production and sale of cable products
     ("The Cable Products Division").

2.   Significant Accounting Policies

     Interim Financial Statements: The accompanying unaudited financial
     statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form
     10-QSB and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
     generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
     The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1998 has been derived from
     the audited financial statements as of the period ended March 31, 1998, but
     does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
     principles. Certain amounts previously reported in both the September 30,
     1997 Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Statement of
     Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform to the 1998 financial
     statement presentation. In the opinion of management, these statements
     reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments,
     considered necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented.
     Operating results for the six months ended September 30, 1998 are not
     necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
     ended March 31, 1999. These statements should be read in conjunction with
     the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
     Report on Form 10-KSB for the period ended March 31, 1998.

     Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include
     the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All
     inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

     Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
     generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
     estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
     liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
     of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
     expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
     those estimates.

     Goodwill In connection with the Company's periodic review, the consulting
     division's closing of certain offices, and its disposition of certain
     operations during the 1998 fiscal year, the Company wrote off approximately
     $5,863,000 of goodwill during the year ended March 31, 1998.

     Revenue Recognition: Consulting revenue is recognized as services are
     performed. Soil remediation revenues were recognized as soil was processed.
     The Company's soil remediation division was disposed of during October,
     1997.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


     Net Income per Share: Net income per share computations are based on the
     weighted average common shares outstanding of 20,266,693 and 17,598,826 for
     the quarters ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Potential common
     shares have not been included in the weighted average common shares
     outstanding as they are anti-dilutive for all periods presented.

     Discontinued Operations: During fiscal year ended March 31, 1998, certain
     wholly-owned subsidiary ceased operations and disposed of all operating
     assets. As such, the Company has treated this subsidiary as discontinued
     operations for all periods presented. During April, 1996, ABC Cable
     Products, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, ceased operations and disposed
     of all of its operating assets. As such, the Company has treated the Cable
     Products Division as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

3.   Commitments and Contingencies The Company has been involved in various
     discussions with a former private senior lender to the Company. The purpose
     of these discussions has been to settle all outstanding differences between
     the former lender and the Company regarding a variety of matters including,
     without limitation, the exercise price of the former lender's outstanding
     warrants, amounts claimed to be owed to the former lender for legal and
     financial advisory fees, shares claimed to be owed to the former lender for
     the loan of funds and services rendered, and claimed rights to additional
     shares of the Company's stock. Although all cash amounts owed to the former
     lender for principal and interest were paid in full in July, 1996, the
     former lender made demands on the Company, as well as asserting
     enforceability of claimed agreements. Although the Company has rejected the
     validity of all such claims, it has agreed to reach an accommodation with
     the former lender on some of these claims solely for the purpose of
     reaching a definitive settlement of all outstanding differences. To date,
     the former lender has not agreed to any settlement. The Company, is unable
     to foresee the ultimate outcome of this matter.

     NASDAQ Delisting The Company shares were delisted from the NASDAQ Small Cap
     Market effective January 2, 1998. The Company did not meet NASDAQ
     requirements for total capital and surplus of $2,000,000. The Company's
     plan for maintaining compliance with NASDAQ listing requirements was
     rejected and the Company received notification of delisting December 17,
     1997.

4.   Related Party Transactions In July, 1995, the Company borrowed $85,000 from
     the spouse of the Chairman of the Board of Directors. The note is due upon
     demand and bears interest at 12% per annum. The Chairman disclaims any
     beneficial interest in the loan. The balance of this note is $25,000 at
     September 30, 1998

     During 1997, the Company's remediation division had a note payable to an
     affiliated company under common ownership of the Company's chief executive
     officer for $303,000 with a 13.5% interest rate. Interest is payable
     monthly and a balloon payment of the principal is due June, 1999. The
     balance of this note as of September 30, 1998 is $354,337 including accrued
     interest.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


     On December 31, 1996, the Company borrowed $1,000,000 from a
     shareholder/director of the Company pursuant to a one year promissory note
     bearing interest at 14% per annum. For the first three months of the note,
     while the Company sought alternative long-term financing, the note was
     unsecured with interest only payable monthly. Commencing March, 1997,
     monthly payments of principal and interest were required until maturity in
     December, 1997, and the note was secured by all trade accounts receivable
     of the Company. This note was repaid on May 5, 1997 from proceeds of a
     $1,000,000 loan received from the father of the shareholder. This latter
     note was modified to a three month promissory note maturing on August 5,
     1997, with monthly interest only payable at 12% per annum. The note was
     secured by all trade receivables of the Company. On September 23, 1997, the
     Company received a notice of its default on this note for nonpayment of
     principal and interest. The Company settled its default on this note by
     delivering a $608,000 promissory note dated October 29, 1997 in favor of
     the shareholder's father, bearing interest at 12% per annum with quarterly
     principal and interest payments of $40,867, and agreeing to issue 2,666,667
     shares of the Company's Common Stock. The new note and the agreement to
     issue stock extinguishes the $1,000,000 promissory note dated May 5, 1997.
     The balance of this note is $538,062 at September 30, 1998.

     In May, 1997, the Company borrowed $72,000 from the mother of a former
     director and shareholder of the Company. The loan is due upon demand and
     bears interest at 12% per annum. The balance of this loan is $72,000 at
     September 30, 1998.

5.   Going Concern Consideration: The accompanying consolidated financial
     statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a
     going concern. The Company has suffered significant net losses for the
     years ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 and currently has a working capital
     deficiency. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's
     ability to continue as a going concern. Management has developed a plan
     that will include, but is not limited to, the following actions to fund its
     working capital requirements and raise capital to achieve its growth:

     1. Continued limited support of funds from related parties as discussed
     herein.
     2. Continue cost reduction measures in the consulting division.

     Management is implementing its plans. These measures, if successful, are
     expected to result in an improved working capital position for the year
     ended March 31, 1999. However, actual results may differ from management's
     plans.

                  ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

     FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS:

     From time to time, the Company may publish forward-looking statements
     relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business
     prospects, technological developments, new products, research and
     development activities and similar matters. With respect to this Quarterly
     report, statements included in Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan
     of Operation and in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
     which are not historical in nature, are intended to be and are hereby
     identified as "forward looking statements" for purposes of the safe harbor
     by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In order to comply
     with the terms of the safe harbor, the Company notes that a variety of
     factors could cause the company's actual results and experience to differ
     materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in
     the Company's forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties that
     may affect the operations, performance, development and results of the
     Company's business include the following: (i) changes in legislative
     enforcement and direction, (ii) unusually bad weather conditions, (iii)
     unanticipated delays in contract execution, (iv) sudden loss of key
     personnel, (v) abrupt changes in competition, and (vi) decisions by the
     Company's lenders to demand the Company's indebtedness.

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

     Revenues for the six months ended September 30, 1998 (the "98 to date")
     increased by $219,312 or 8.8% to $2,697,539 from $2,478,227 for the
     corresponding six months ended June 30, 1997 (the "97 to date"). For the
     quarter ended September 30, 1998 (the "98 Quarter") and September 30, 1997,
     comparable revenues increased $114,518 or 9.9% from $1,160,368 to
     $1,274,886.

     Direct costs were $1,566,868 in 98 to date versus $1,418,213 in 97 to date,
     a $148,655 or 10.5% increase. For the 98 quarter direct costs were
     $755,399, a $122,923 increase over $632,476 in the 97 quarter. Direct costs
     consist of all professional and technical labor, subcontractor, supplies
     and other revenue generating expenses. Gross profit as a percentage of
     revenue was 41% and 45.0% in the 98 quarter and 97 quarters, respectively.
     The comparable to date gross profit percentages were 42% and 43%,
     respectively. The decreased gross profit percentage is attributed to the
     higher direct costs during 98 to date.

     General, administrative and other operating costs decreased $369,243, or
     44% to $465,310 for the 98 Quarter compared to $834,553 for the 97 Quarter.
     The reduced costs are also reflected in the 98 to date of $906,194 compared
     to $1,530,445 for the 97 Quarter, a $624,251 or 41% improvement. Operating
     costs show continued improvement because of the restructuring efforts
     implemented by the Company's new management over the past twenty-one
     months.

     Other income for the 98 Quarter and year to date reflects the $230,668
     favorable effect of a settlement agreement for a claim payable to one of
     the Company's attorneys. Discontinued operations for the 97 Quarter and
     year to date includes the unfavorable results of $6,765,516 effect of
     discontinued operations of the Remediation Division, which was disposed of
     during the 97 quarter.

                  ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


     Net income for the 98 Quarter of $267,314 improved significantly by
     $7,367,522 over the $7,100,208 loss in the 97 Quarter. The 97 Quarter
     includes Loss from discontinued operations of $6,765,516. The 98 Quarter
     includes an Accounts Payable settlement of $230,668. Excluding both of
     these large non-recurring items, the 98 Quarter improved as compared to the
     97 Quarter by $371,338.

     Cumulatively, Net income for the 98 to date was $418,928 compared to a
     $7,608,469 loss for 97 to date. The 97 to date includes Loss from
     discontinued operation of $7,115,546. The 98 to date includes an Accounts
     Payable settlement of $230,668. Excluding both of these large non-recurring
     items, the 98 quarter improved as compared to the 97 Quarter by $681,183.

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

     The company had a working capital deficit of $1,070,060 at September 30,
     1998 compared to $1,467,483 at March 31, 1998. This working capital
     decrease in deficit of $397,423 reflects a working capital ratio of .53 at
     September 30, 1998 from .44 at March 31, 1998. Historically the Company has
     experienced capital and liquidity problems and no assurances can be given
     that such shortages will not negatively impact the Company's operations in
     the future.

     The Company's cash flow was $101,828 in the 98 to date compared to $215,478
     cash decrease in the 97 to date. The major cash inflow in the 98 to date
     was $185,161 from operating activities. The Company's control of
     expenditures during 98 to date is reflected in the small amount ($12,022)
     of cash used in investing activities. The cash generated in the 98 quarter
     was used to pay its obligations in the amount of $71,311. The Financing
     activities in the 97 to date include the effects of the loans related to
     the Remediation division which was disposed in the 97 Quarter.

     The Company has no major material commitments for capital expenditures.

     The Company intends to continue to fund its current operations from the
     combination of cash on hand, cash generated from operations, cost savings
     generated from its continued cost reduction measures, as well as potential
     sale of equity. These sources of capital are expected to largely fund the
     Company's current operations through March 31, 1999. Management expects to
     continue the profitability experienced in the 98 to date in the subsequent
     quarters of Fiscal 1999. However, if the Company does continue to operate
     profitably, and absent alternative sources of financing, there would be a
     material adverse effect on the financial condition, operations and business
     prospects of the Company. The Company has no arrangements in place for
     alternative sources of financing, and there can be no assurance that any
     such financing will be available at all or on terms acceptable to the
     Company.
