                   Reuter Manufacturing, Inc. and Subsidiaries
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)

1.   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

     The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Reuter Manufacturing,
     Inc. (f/k/a Green Isle Environmental Services, Inc.), and Subsidiaries (the
     Company) for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1995 and
     1994 reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include
     only normal recurring adjustments except as described below) necessary to
     fairly state the results of the operations (including discontinued
     operations) for the interim period.  The consolidated results of operations
     for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results expected
     for the full year.  The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements
     should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
     and notes thereto contained in the Company's 1994 Form 10-KSB.

     USE OF ESTIMATES:

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principals requires management to make estimates
     and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and
     liabilities, 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.

</TABLE>

3.   DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND RELATED DEBT:

     As described in Notes 2 and 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
     Statements in the 1994 Form 10-KSB, the Company ceased operations of its
     Eden Prairie facility (EPR) effective January 1, 1994 and has undertaken a
     formal plan to dispose of its other remaining waste processing operations.
     The loss from discontinued operations in the third quarter of 1995 includes
     accrued interest (including default rate interest) through September 30,
     1995.  The Company will continue to accrue interest in future periods
     through the date of a final settlement of the debt.  The loss from
     discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 1995
     consists of accrued interest of $ 540,131.

     As previously announced, the Company closed on the sale of all of the
     assets of EPR for $3.8 million on September 1, 1994.  A gain of $1,914,534
     on the sale of the EPR assets was recorded in the third quarter of 1994.
     The net proceeds of $3,768,809 from the sale have been used to repay a
     portion of the debt underlying the EPR facility.  The Company has retained
     all liabilities of EPR, including the balance of the loan underlying the
     facility which is guaranteed by the Company.

     As previously announced, on September 12, 1994, the Company entered into a
     preliminary settlement agreement with the lender of the debt underlying EPR
     whereby the lender agrees not to pursue its rights against the Company
     under the parent guarantee of the EPR debt in return for the following:


                                        6

<PAGE>

     1.   A Senior Subordinated Secured Note to the lender for $2,750,000 with
          interest at 8% per year.  Interest will be payable monthly on the
          principal balance from time to time remaining unpaid.  Principal
          payments of $75,000 will be payable quarterly beginning in 1997 and
          ending on July 1, 1999, when all outstanding principal and interest is
          due.

     2.   A Junior Subordinated Secured Note to the lender for $1,000,000 with
          interest to accrue at 8% per year; principal and interest will be paid
          from excess cash flow from operations, if any, with all outstanding
          principal and accrued interest due on July 1, 1999.

     3.   A Net Operating Loss Sharing Agreement under which the Company will
          make annual payments to the lender of an amount equal to any tax
          savings related to the use of up to $15,000,000 in net operating loss
          carryforwards.

          The Company has also preliminarily agreed to issue to the lender, a
          warrant to purchase 3,178,780 shares of Common Stock, exercisable only
          in the event of an "ownership change" with respect to the Company for
          purposes of Section 382(g) (1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
          as amended.  The ownership change would effectively eliminate the net
          operating loss sharing Agreement obligation ((3) above) and result in
          the effective contribution of any remaining balance of the NOL Sharing
          Agreement obligation to contributed capital (shareholders' equity).

     Management is currently negotiating definitive agreements with the lender,
     although there can be no assurance that a definitive agreement will be
     reached.

4.   ACQUISITION OF PRODUCT LINE:

     On January 9, 1995, the Company purchased the assets, inventory, patents
     and patent applications, trademarks and goodwill associated with the Rotary
     Vane Actuator business of The Sollami Company.  The purchase price was
     $326,154 plus contingent payments equal to 8% of net sales made each month,
     for the 48 months beginning in February 1995, of rotary vane actuators and
     related parts.  The total cumulative guaranteed minimum contingent payments
     are $295,000, with scheduled amounts due in each of the 4 years.  To the
     extent cumulative monthly contingent payments do not equal the guaranteed
     minimum contingent payment for any 12 month period, the Company will be
     required to make an additional payment sufficient to achieve the guaranteed
     minimum payment for that year.  The excess of acquisition cost over amounts
     assigned to the net identifiable assets acquired (goodwill) is being
     amortized on a straight line basis over fifteen years.  Other identifiable
     intangible assets include value assigned to patents, and a covenant not to
     compete.  Values assigned to patents are carried at cost less accumulated
     amortization calculated on a straight line basis over their estimated
     useful lives, which range from seven to fourteen years.  The value assigned
     to the covenant not


                                        7

<PAGE>

     to compete is being amortized on a straight line basis over seven years.

5.   ASSET-BASED SHORT-TERM FINANCING ARRANGEMENT:

     In January 1995, the Company amended its loan and security agreement
     with its asset based lender.  The key elements to the amendment include
     reducing the short-term demand line of credit to $4,500,000, increasing
     interest on borrowings to prime plus 3.75%, and increasing available
     borrowing by $125,000 by increasing the advance rate on the certificate
     of deposit which partially collateralizes borrowings under the line of
     credit.  Funds available to the Company pursuant to terms of the line of
     credit agreement are dependent upon the level of eligible accounts
     receivable and plant and equipment, as defined.  In October 1995, the
     Company amended its loan and security agreement again in order to obtain
     additional availability due to the low revenue levels for the third
     quarter and anticipated lower than budget projected revenue levels for
     the fourth quarter of 1995. The Company has obtained additional
     availability through a reload of the term loan associated with the line
     of credit.  Under the new agreement, the Company received approximately
     $300,000 in additional borrowing capacity.  The terms of the agreement
     call for a new term loan in the amount of $1,007,200 to be amortized
     over a period of 60 months, and a one year extension of the loan
     agreement.  All other terms and conditions of the loan agreement remain
     the same as set forth above.  The Company is again negotiating with its
     asset based lender to obtain additional relief during the fourth quarter
     of 1995 because of low revenue levels from the Company's two major
     medical customers.  The revenue levels from these two major customers
     are projected to pick up beginning in the first quarter of 1996 based on
     firm orders.  The Company is in violation of certain financial and
     technical covenants of this agreement and a cross-default covenant due
     to the defaults described in Notes 6 and  6(a) of the Notes to the
     Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's 1994 Form 10-KSB.  As
     a result of these default conditions, the lender may, at its sole
     discretion declare the Company in default, discontinue making advances
     to the Company and demand immediate repayment of borrowings under the
     line of credit.  If the lender will continue making advances to the
     Company, additional borrowing capacity under this line of credit is
     approximately $69,000 at November 8, 1995.

                                        8

6.   SALE OF REUTER RECYCLING OF FLORIDA, INC.:

     On October 26, 1995, the Company closed the sale of Reuter Recycling
     of Florida, Inc. The Company had entered into an agreement effective June
     1, 1995, to sell all of the stock of Reuter Recycling of Florida, Inc.,
     which had been pledged by the Company to the construction lender of Reuter
     Recycling of Florida, Inc., to an unrelated third party.  As discussed in
     Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the 1994 Form
     10-KSB, because Reuter Recycling of Florida, Inc. had previously been
     deconsolidated from the Company's consolidated financial statements and the
     Company will receive no proceeds from the sale, the transaction will have
     no impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
     The management agreement between Green Isle and Reuter Recycling of
     Florida, Inc. was terminated upon the close of the sale.

7.   RECLASSIFICATION:

     Certain reclassification have been made to the 1994 consolidated financial
     statements in order to conform with the September 30, 1995 presentation.
     These reclassification did not change the Company's previously reported
     financial position or results of operations.

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

          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          CONTINUING MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS:

          Continuing operations consist primarily of the Company's precision
          manufacturing business, which manufactures and assembles medical
          devices and other precision manufactured parts on a contract basis,
          and is developing proprietary products for manufacturing and
          sale.  The Company has sold most of the equipment used in its plastics
          manufacturing operations and substantially all plastics manufacturing
          ceased effective August, 1994.

          The Company's net revenues from continuing operations for the third
          quarter of 1995 increased by approximately 6.5% from the same period
          in 1994.  The Company's net revenues for the nine months ended
          September 30, 1995 were $8,754,793 compared to $9,405,080 for the same
          period in 1994, a decrease of approximately 6.9%.  The increase in
          revenues for the third quarter of 1995 over the revenues for the same
          period for 1994 was attributable to revenues from sales of the rotary
          vane actuators and sales of Company proprietary products that did not
          exist during the third quarter of 1994.  The decrease in revenues for
          the nine months ended September 30, 1995 from the same period in 1994
          was due primarily to the elimination of sales to Seagate Technology,
          Inc. ("Seagate"), which effectively ceased after the first quarter of
          1994 coupled with reduced sales from the plastics manufacturing
          operations which effectively ceased in August 1994.

          Gross profit was 13.9% of net sales for the third quarter of 1995
          compared to 16.9% of net sales for the third quarter of 1994.  Gross
          profit was 17.4%  and 18.3% for the nine month periods ended
          September 30, 1995 and September 30, 1994, respectively.  The lower
          gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 was primarily
          due to under absorbed burden that is volume related, along with
          increases in manufacturing supplies used in the production of
          industrial and proprietary products.  The decrease in gross profit for
          the nine month period ended September 30, 1995 as compared to the
          same period for 1994 was mostly volume related.  Medical product
          sales from the Company's two principal customers accounted for over
          72% of net sales in the third quarter of 1995 compared to 78% of net
          sales in the third quarter of 1994.  For the nine months ended
          September 30, 1995, medical product sales from these two customers
          accounted for 72% of net sales compared to 58% of net sales for the
          same period in 1994.

          Selling, general and administrative expenses were $549,107 for the
          third quarter of 1995 compared to $447,447 for the same period in
          1994.  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine
          months ended September 30, 1995, were $1,751,805 compared to
          $1,418,067 for the same period in 1994.  The increase in these
          expenses is primarily due to substantial legal and accounting costs
          related to pursuing restructuring of the debt underlying the EPR
          facility and higher selling expenses related to marketing of
          proprietary products (primarily oil centrifuge units).

          Other expense for the third quarter of 1995 increased approximately
          $32,000 from the same period in 1994, primarily due to an increase
          in interest expense resulting from increases in the prime rate,
          coupled with lower other income during the third quarter of 1995.
          Other expense for the nine months ending September 30 1995 was
          $137,312 compared to $146,719 for the nine months ending September
          30, 1994.  The decrease was attributable to the Company renting
          excess warehouse space beginning in 1995 and gains on the sale of
          various assets sold during 1995.

          The Company had no taxable income, and accordingly, recorded no
          provision for income taxes during the quarters ended September 30,
          1995 and 1994.

          During the third quarter of 1995, the Company's loss from continuing
          operations was $220,485 or $.07 per share compared to a loss from
          continuing operations of $34,878 or $.01 per share for the same period
          in 1994. For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the loss from
          continuing operations was $368,285 or $.11 per share compared to
          income from continuing operations of $160,099 or $.05 per share for
          the same period in 1994.  In summary, the loss from continuing
          operations for the first nine months of 1995 compared to the income in
          1994 is attributable to revenue reductions (phaseout of revenues from
          Seagate and reduced plastics revenues), staffing increases to enhance
          development and marketing of proprietary products (oil centrifuges and
          rotary vane actuators), and substantial professional expenses related
          to the continuing debt restructuring of the debt underlying the EPR
          facility that is guaranteed by the Company.

          DISCONTINUED WASTE PROCESSING OPERATIONS:

          As described in Notes 2 and 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
          Statements in the Company's 1994 Form 10-KSB, the Company undertook a
          formal plan to dispose of its remaining waste processing and recycling
          operation located in Eden Prairie, Minnesota during the fourth quarter
          of 1993.  The Company wrote-down the carrying value of this facility
          to its estimated net realizable value, which resulted in a charge
          against earnings of $10,800,000 in 1993. The Eden Prairie facility
          ceased operations effective January 1, 1994 and on September 1, 1994
          the

                                       11

          Company closed on the sale of all of the assets of EPR, Inc., a
          wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("EPR") for approximately $3.8
          million.

          The proceeds from the sale of the assets of EPR have been used to
          repay a portion of the debt originally underlying the EPR facility.
          The Company retained all liabilities of EPR, including the balance of
          the loan underlying the facility (the "EPR loan") which is guaranteed
          by the Company. The loss from discontinued operations during the third
          quarter of 1995 consists of continuing interest accruals of $540,131
          related to the underlying debt.  This accrual does not include an
          accrual for estimated interest that will be incurred on the debt
          underlying the EPR loan between October 1, 1995 and the date of final
          settlement, due to uncertainty of the timing of the ultimate
          settlement.  As described in Note 3 "Discontinued Operations and
          Related Debt" in this Form 10-QSB, the Company entered into a
          preliminary settlement agreement with the lender of the debt
          underlying EPR on September 12, 1994.   Management is currently
          negotiating definitive agreements with the lender, although there can
          be no assurance that a definitive agreement will be reached.  If final
          settlement cannot be reached, management may elect to seek protection
          under U.S. bankruptcy laws.

          LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

          The Company currently has negative working capital and is in
          payment and technical default of terms of the EPR loan and is in
          violation of certain covenants of its demand line of credit
          agreement. The Company had a cash balance of $1,340 at September
          30, 1995 compared to a cash balance of $209,192 at December 31, 1994.
          The decrease in cash was primarily due to the purchase of a product
          line of rotary vane actuators coupled with substantial outlays of
          cash for professional services related to the continuing debt
          restructuring of the debt underlying the EPR facility that is
          guaranteed by the Company. The Company had a working capital
          deficit of $19,184,613 at September 30, 1995, compared to a working
          capital deficit of $17,219,561 at December 31, 1994.  The current
          ratio was .13 and .14 at September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994,
          respectively.  The working capital deficit includes the Eden
          Prairie debt because the entire remaining balance of this loan has
          been classified as a short-term liability as a result of the
          payment, technical and other defaults described in Notes 2 and 6 of
          the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the
          Company's 1994 Form 10-KSB.  Until the restructuring agreement with
          the lender to EPR is finalized, under the terms of the original
          loan agreement, and as a result of the payment and technical
          defaults, the lender has the right to demand repayment of the
          entire outstanding balance of the loan.  In addition, the lender
          can demand payment of the default interest rate which is 2% higher
          than the stated interest rate of 11.85%.  Interest accruals reflecting
          the incremental charge for the higher default rate have been
          established since 1992.

          The Company has a $4.5 million line of credit arrangement with an
          asset based lender which is collateralized by assets associated
          with the manufacturing operations. The Company generally borrows
          funds up to the maximum available because the line of credit
          agreement has a minimum borrowing requirement of $2.75 million upon
          which the Company pays interest. Funds available to the Company
          pursuant to terms of the line of credit agreement are dependent
          upon the level of eligible accounts receivable and plant and
          equipment, as defined. The Company is in violation of certain
          financial and technical covenants contained in this line of credit
          agreement, which could result in the lender discontinuing advances
          and demanding repayment of all outstanding borrowings.  Due to the
          default conditions discussed above and borrowing limits related to
          available collateral, it is possible that the Company will not be
          able to borrow sufficient amounts against this line to meet all the
          operating cash needs of the Company.  In addition, there can be no
          assurance that the asset based lender will continue to disregard
          these covenant violations in the future.  If the lender takes any
          action to reduce the availability of funds to the Company, there
          may not be sufficient liquidity to continue operations.  As of
          November 8, 1995, the Company had borrowed approximately $2,761,000
          and had additional availability of approximately $69,000 under this
          line.

          The Company had positive cash flow from operations for the nine months
          ended September 30, 1995 and September 30, 1994. However, its ability
          to meet its continuing manufacturing operations cash flow requirements
          during the remainder of 1995 and beyond, is dependent on continuing
          adequate sales and margins in the manufacturing business.  Management
          expects a need for capital expenditures to support equipment upgrading
          and growth in the manufacturing division.  Any future expenditures
          will depend on cash availability.  In addition to cash flow
          from operations, the Company expects to seek needed capital through
          employee, vendor and other asset based lending arrangements.

          In summary, the Company currently has negative working capital and
          is in default under the terms of two outstanding loan agreements.
          Either of these two lenders could, at any time, demand full payment
          of the underlying debt, which the Company would be unable to
          satisfy.  The Company's cash flow from operations may not be
          sufficient to meet the Company's general operating needs.  The
          Company is experiencing near term liquidity problems due to the
          reduced shipping requirements of the Company's two major medical
          customers. The Company is actively negotiating with its asset
          based lender and is working with employees and vendors to
          ameliorate this short term situation. In the event that the Company
          cannot generate sufficient cash flow to meet its commitments, it
          may be forced to seek protection under U.S. Bankruptcy laws.
