Overview and Outlook
- --------------------

As  discussed  in  more detail with the comparison  of  each
segment's  results, the Company's net loss was reduced
from $11.0  million during the six month period ended
April  30, 1995 to $4.3 million during the six month
period ended April 30,  1996.  This was accomplished
primarily through overhead reductions  within  Metcalf  &
Eddy,  Research-Cottrell  and Corporate.   Sales  have
increased from  $304.3  million  to $326.7  million
primarily due to increased service  revenues associated
with PSG's contract with PRASA.  Although  sales have
decreased by approximately 10% within Metcalf  &  Eddy
and   Research-Cottrell,   those  segments   have
reported increases in operating income.
At  April  30, 1996, the Company's backlog was
approximately $1.1 billion and consisted of PSG ($800
million), Metcalf  & Eddy  ($230  million) and Research-
Cottrell ($105  million). Although  no assurances can be
given, the Company expects  a comparable  continuing trend
of improved results  throughout the  remainder of this
year which should lead to slightly positive
consolidated net income for the fiscal year  ending
October  31,  1996.   These improvements are
expected to be achieved through an anticipated sales
growth of  approximately 20% during the second half of the
current fiscal year from sales levels reported during the
six  month period  ended April 30, 1996.  This anticipated
sales growth is  primarily  contingent  upon  the  level
and  timing  of obtaining  additional contracts in each
segment  since  the revenues  expected to be generated
throughout the  remainder of this fiscal year from the
existing April 30, 1996 backlog is  approximately  $270
million based  on  each  operation's latest projections.
In addition to the expected sales level increases, the
continuing trend of improved results will  be contingent
upon cost control, the execution of the  expected new
projects and those projects in backlog within the  most
recent cost estimates as well as the favorable resolution
of existing claims arising in the ordinary course of
business.

PSG (Contract Operations)
- -------------------------

Operating  income was $2.1 million and $4.0  million
during the  three  and six month periods ended April 30,
1996  and reflects  a  $.1 million and $.2 million
decrease  from  the comparable prior periods due to
additional selling,  general and  administrative  expenses
as well  as  depreciation  and amortization related to
growth initiatives.  The increase in PSG's sales is a
result of the PRASA contract which has  not had   a
proportional  impact  on  operating  income.  PSG
continues   to   pursue  new  business   opportunities
and currently has several proposals pending or under
negotiation which  if  obtained,  would  significantly
increase  future sales.

Metcalf & Eddy
- --------------

Operating income increased by $1.2 million and $3.4
million during the three and six month periods ended April
30, 1996. The  higher  operating income was attributable
primarily  to overhead personnel, facilities and insurance
cost reductions during  the  latter  half  of the prior
fiscal  year  which resulted
in   a   decrease   in   selling,   general and
administrative  expenses  ($1.6 million  and  $3.9
million, respectively).   Sales decreased by $4.6  million
and  $8.7 million  during the three and six month periods
ended  April 30,  1996  as a result of delays in the
release  of  certain task  orders.   In  addition,
estimated  favorable  pricing adjustments partially offset
the impact of the reduced sales volume.

Research-Cottrell
- -----------------

Operating  income increased by $.1 million and $1.0
million during the three and six month periods ended April
30, 1996. The  increase during the six month period
resulted from  the incremental  operating  income  of  $.8
million  earned  in several   business  units,  primarily,
R-C   International, Custodis, Ecodyne and Flex-Kleen.
These business units  had
higher  sales volumes of $10.9 million.  In addition,
REECO generated  an  additional $.3 million  and  $.9
million  of operating  income  on  slightly lower sales
volume  due  to improved  project execution during the
three and  six  month periods  ended  April 30, 1996.
Partially offsetting  these improved  results were lower
operating income  generated  in APCD  and  KVB  ($.5
million and $1.4  million  during  the aforementioned
periods) which, combined,  had  lower  sales volume  of
$8.7  million  and  $21.6  million  during   the
aforementioned  periods.  KVB's lower volume  resulted
from significantly reduced shipments and services as
compared  to the  prior  period  due  to reduced demand
requirements  by utility  customers  under  the  1990
Clean  Air  Act.   KVB continues  to make progress in
resolving software issues  on systems  previously shipped
to certain utilities which  have created problems in
collecting receivables due to claims and back-charges;  it
has also continued  to  incur  additional software,
warranty and project close-out costs in resolving this
situation.    APCD's   reduced   sales   volume   and
profitability reflect delays in new order bookings  in
both the utility and industrial markets.

<PAGE>

Corporate and Other
- -------------------

The    corporate   (unallocated)   selling,   general and
administrative  expenses decreased by $.1 million  and
$1.2 million  during the three and six month periods ended
April 30,  1996 due to cost reduction efforts, including
personnel related costs and professional fees.

Financial Condition
- -------------------

Cash used by operations for the six month period ended
April 30,  1996  amounted to $1.0 million primarily  due
to  cash outlays  for  the  previously  established
unusual   charge reserves.   The Company also utilized
$7.7 million  of  cash for   capital  expenditures,
investments  in  environmental treatment facilities and
other investment activities  during the  period. These
cash requirements were funded principally through
proceeds from the prior year sale of its  hazardous waste
transfer station operations and borrowings under  the
Company's  credit facility discussed below.  As a result
of the  above,  net  financial debt increased by  $9.1
million during the six month period ended April 30, 1996.

The  Company  has a  three-year $130 million Senior
Secured Credit  Facility ("Credit Facility") with First
Chicago  and Societe  Generale acting as co-agents for a
syndicate  which includes seven additional banks. It is
primarily designed to finance  working  capital
requirements  and  allow  for  the issuance  of  letters
of credit, both subject to limitations and  secured  by a
first security interest in  substantially all of the
assets of the Company.

Of  the total commitment, borrowings are limited to the
sum of   a percentage   of   certain   eligible receivables,
inventories, net property, plant and equipment and costs
and estimated  earnings in excess of billings and bear
interest at  LIBOR (currently 5.5%), as defined, plus
 .725% or  at  a defined  bank  rate  approximating prime
(currently  8.25%). The  Credit  Facility  also allows
for  certain  additional borrowings, including, among
other things, project financing and  foreign  borrowing
facilities, subject to  limitations. The  Credit  Facility
contains certain financial  and  other restrictive
covenants  with  respect   to   the   Company,
including,  among other things, the maintenance  of certain
financial  ratios,  and restrictions on  the  incurrence
of additional  indebtedness, acquisitions, the sale of
assets, the  payment of dividends and the repurchase of
subordinated debt.  In addition, the agreement requires
CGE to maintain a minimum 40% ownership interest in the
Company.

Under the Credit Facility at April 30, 1996 the Company
had outstanding borrowings of $52.5 million (capacity  of
$69.6 million)  and  issued and outstanding letters of
credit  of $19.1  million  (capacity  of $60.4  million).
The  Company expects  its operations to generate
sufficient cash  in  the near   term    to   fund   its
estimated   working   capital
requirements, capital expenditures and cash outlays for
the reserves  established in connection with  fiscal  year
1994 unusual  charges.   The Company believes  that  it
has  the ability to manage its cash needs and is currently
continuing its  efforts to control its expenses as well as
reducing its working capital requirements.

The businesses of the Company have not historically
required significant ongoing capital expenditures. For the
six months ended  April 30, 1996 and the years ended
October  31,  1995 and  1994 total capital expenditures
were $3.7 million, $7.9 million and $5.5 million,
respectively.  At April 30,  1996, the Company had no
material outstanding purchase commitments for capital
expenditures.

Statement Regarding Forward Looking Disclosures
- -----------------------------------------------

Statements  contained in this report, including
Management's Discussion and Analysis, are forward looking
statements that involve a number of risks and
uncertainties which may  cause the  Company's actual

       -    changes  in  as well as enforcement  levels
            of federal,  state  and local environmental
            legislation and  regulations that change demand for
            a significant portion of the Company's services,
       -    the  ability  to  obtain  new  contracts from
            existing   and  new  clients  (some  of   which
            are significant),
       -    the execution of the expected new projects
            and those  projects  in backlog within  the  most
            recent cost estimates and;
       -    the  favorable  resolution of  existing
            claims arising in the ordinary course of business.
