                                     (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 six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995
    reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only
    normal recurring adjustments, except as described in Note 3 of this Form
    10-QSB) necessary to fairly state the consolidated financial position at
    June 30, 1996 and the consolidated results of operations (including
    discontinued operations) and cash flows for the reported periods.  The
    consolidated results of operations for any interim period are not
    necessarily indicative of results expected for the full year.  These
    unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in
    conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
    included in the Company's 1995 Form 10-KSB.

    USE OF ESTIMATES:

    The preparation of the Company's consolidated 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 periods.  Actual
    results could differ from those estimates.  The most significant areas
    which require the use of management's estimates relate to allowances for
    doubtful accounts receivable, inventory obsolescence, and the accrual for
    container warranty.

    NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE:

    Net income per common and common equivalent shares is computed by dividing
    net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each
    period. Common stock equivalents for primary earnings per share purposes
    represent stock options granted to employees.  For purposes of computing
    fully diluted earnings per share, common shares issuable in connection with
    the contingent stock purchase warrant issued to Sanwa as part of the
    restructuring of the Eden Prairie Facility debt and Loan and Security
    agreement as discussed in Note 3 of this Form 10-QSB.

3.  EDEN PRAIRIE FACILITY ASSETS SALE AND JANUARY 24, 1996 RESTRUCTURING OF
    UNDERLYING DEBT GUARANTEE:

    As described in Notes 2 and 3 of the notes to consolidated financial
    statements in the Company's 1995 Form 10-KSB, on January 24, 1996, the
    Company and Sanwa Business Credit Corporation (Sanwa) entered into a Loan
    and Security Agreement (the Loan Agreement) to restructure the Company's
    guarantee of the debt obligation underlying the Eden Prairie Facility (EPR
    Facility), which included the following documents: a Senior Subordinated
    Secured Promissory Note in the amount of $2,780,000; a Junior Subordinated
    Secured Promissory Note in the amount of $1,000,000; a Mortgage, Assignment
    of Leases and Rents, Security Agreement and Financing Statement; a Patent
    Security Agreement; a $6,000,000 Income Sharing Agreement; and a Common
    Stock Warrant Agreement (collectively, the Loan Documents).  The
    restructuring was subject to an escrow arrangement whereby the
    restructuring agreement could be rescinded if the Company sought protection
    under U.S. Bankruptcy laws on or before June 6, 1996.  The documents were
    released from escrow in June 1996, at which time the restructuring
    transaction was recognized by the Company as an extraordinary item - gain
    on debt restructuring of approximately $7.2 million.  There was no income
    tax effect related to the extraordinary gain, due to the net operating loss
    carryforwards available to the Company, as well as the Company's continued
    insolvency for tax purposes, subsequent to the debt restructuring.

    Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Sanwa agreed to restructure the Company's
    obligations to guarantee repayment of a loan from Sanwa to EPR, Inc., into
    three separate obligations as follows:

(a) The $2,780,000 term loan, evidenced by a Senior Subordinated Secured
    Promissory Note in the amount of $2,780,000, executed by the Company in
    favor of Sanwa.  The note bears interest at the rate of 8% per year and
    provides for 12 consecutive quarterly payments of $75,000 plus accrued
    interest and a final payment of any unpaid principal and accrued interest
    on December 31, 1999.

<PAGE>


    EDEN PRAIRIE FACILITY ASSETS SALE AND JANUARY 24, 1996 RESTRUCTURING OF
    UNDERLYING DEBT GUARANTEE, CONTINUED:

(b) The $1,000,000 term loan, evidenced by a Junior Subordinated Secured
    Promissory Note in the amount of $1,000,000, executed by the Company in
    favor of Sanwa.  The note bears interest at the rate of 8% per year and
    provides for quarterly payments of principal and interest, to the extent
    that the Company generates cash flow after payment of certain indebtedness
    and capital expenditures, and a final payment of any unpaid principal and
    accrued interest on December 31, 1999.

(c) The Income Sharing Agreement, whereby the Company is required to make
    payments to Sanwa in an amount equal to 40% of the Company's income before
    taxes (prior to a change in control as defined in Section 382(g)(1) of the
    Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), less cash interest payments
    made by the Company under the Senior Subordinated Secured Promissory Note.
    However, if a change in control occurs, the Company is required to make
    payments to Sanwa in an amount equal to the percentage of the long-term
    tax-exempt rate, as defined in Section 382(f) of the Internal Revenue Code
    of 1986, as amended, multiplied by the Company's income before taxes, less
    cash interest payments made by the Company under the Senior Subordinated
    Secured Promissory Note.  The Income Sharing Agreement remains in effect
    until the Company has made total payments of $6,000,000 under the
    agreement, or it expires on December 31, 2010, whichever is earlier.

    The Company's obligations under the Loan Documents are collateralized by a
    security interest in substantially all of the Company's assets.  The
    security interest granted to Sanwa is subordinate to the security interest
    previously granted in connection with the Asset-Based Short-Term Financing
    Agreement (see Note 7 of the Company's 1995 10-KSB).

    The Company also granted Sanwa a contingent stock purchase warrant to
    purchase up to 3,178,780 shares of common stock of the Company for an
    aggregate purchase price of $10 (see Note 8 of the Company's 1995 10-KSB).
    The warrant is exercisable only following the occurrence of an "ownership
    change" in respect of the Company, as defined in Section 382(g)(1) of the
    Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  The warrant expires upon
    payment in full by the Company of all amounts due under the Income Sharing
    Agreement.

    In addition, the Company and Sanwa entered into separate Standstill
    Agreements with the Company's Chief Executive Officer (the CEO) and its
    Chairman of the Board of Directors (the Chairman) who agreed not to,
    directly or indirectly, acquire, dispose of, or exercise any option or
    other right to acquire any capital stock or option of the Company.  The
    Standstill Agreements remain in effect until the earlier of (a) the
    expiration of the Income Sharing Agreement, (b) the death of the CEO or the
    Chairman,

    or (c) the occurrence of an "ownership change" in respect of the Company,
    as defined in Section 382(g)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
    amended.

    As a result of the Sanwa Standstill Agreements described above, the Company
    has entered into an agreement (the Management Standstill Agreement) with
    the CEO and the Chairman whereby, under a predetermined formula, these two
    individuals can earn up to an aggregate $600,000 based on increases in the
    market value of shares they hold, that they are unable to trade based on
    the provisions of the Sanwa Standstill Agreement.

4.  ASSET-BASED SHORT-TERM FINANCING ARRANGEMENT:

    The Company is in violation of certain financial and technical covenants of
    the Asset-Based short-term financing agreement and a cross-default covenant
    due to the defaults described in this Form 10-QSB under the caption
    "Liquidity and Capital Resources" and Note 7 of the notes to the
    consolidated financial statements in the Company's 1995 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 $75,000 at
    August 8, 1996.

5.  RECLASSIFICATIONS:

    Certain reclassifications have been made to the periods ended June 30, 1995
    consolidated statements of operations to conform to the current periods
    presentation.  These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported
    losses from continuing operations.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS.

    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    GENERAL:

    In June 1996, the "Restructuring Agreements" (described below) were
    released from escrow and the Company was released from its guarantee of the
    indebtedness of EPR, Inc. ("EPR") a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
    to Sanwa Business Credit Corporation.  The Company recognized an
    extraordinary gain of $7,249,018 or $2.27 per share ($1.83 per share on a
    fully diluted basis) during the second quarter of 1996 in connection with
    this transaction.  EPR ceased operations on January 1, 1994 and had no
    operations or assets on December 31, 1995.

    As more fully described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements
    included in this report on Form 10-QSB, in January 1996, the Company and
    Sanwa entered into a series of agreements (the "Restructuring Agreements"),
    pursuant to which Sanwa agreed to restructure the Company's obligations to
    guarantee repayment of the EPR Loan.  The Restructuring Agreements were
    subject to an escrow arrangement whereby Sanwa had the right to rescind the
    transaction if the Company sought protection under U.S. Bankruptcy Laws on
    or before June 6, 1996.  As described above, the Restructuring Agreements
    were released from escrow and the Company was released from its guarantee
    of the indebtedness of the EPR debt during June 1996.  Pursuant to the
    Restructuring Agreements, Sanwa agreed to restructure the Company's
    obligations on the EPR Loan into three separate obligations:  a term loan
    in the amount of $2,780,000, a term loan in the amount of $1,000,000, and
    payment obligations under an Income Sharing Agreement which generally
    requires the Company to make payments to Sanwa in an amount equal to 40% of
    its pre-tax income, if any, less cash interest payments made by the Company
    under the $2,780,000 term loan.  The Income Sharing Agreement remains in
    effect until the Company has made total payments of $6,000,000 under the
    agreement or December 31, 2010, whichever is earlier.  The Company also
    granted Sanwa a warrant to purchase up to 3,178,780 shares of Common Stock
    of the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $10.00, which will become
    exercisable if there is a change in control of the Company as defined in
    Section 382(g)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  In
    addition, the Company and Sanwa entered into separate Standstill Agreements
    with each of James Taylor, the Chief Executive Officer and a Director of
    the Company, and Edward E. Strickland, the Chairman of the Board of
    Directors of the Company, under which Mr. Taylor and Mr. Strickland have
    agreed not to, directly or indirectly, acquire, dispose of, or exercise any
    option or other right to acquire any capital stock or options of the
    Company.  As a result of the Sanwa Standstill Agreements described above,
    the Company has agreed to pay these individuals, under a predetermined
    formula, up to an aggregate of $600,000 based on the increases in the
    market value of the shares of Common Stock of the Company that they hold
    and are


                                          10

    unable to trade due to the Sanwa Standstill Agreements.

    CONTINUING MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS:

    Continuing operations consist primarily of the precision machining
    business, which manufactures and assembles medical devices and other
    precision machined parts on a contract basis.  The Company also
    manufactures proprietary products (oil centrifuges and rotary vane
    actuators).  The Company ceased its plastics manufacturing operations
    during 1994 and has sold most of the equipment used in its plastics
    manufacturing operations.  The Company currently has no involvement in the
    waste processing business.

    The Company's net sales from continuing operations for the second quarter
    of 1996 increased by approximately 9.4% from the same period in 1995.  The
    Company's net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were $6,079,600
    compared to $6,050,963 for the same period in 1995.  The increase in sales
    was due primarily to increased sales to one of the Company's major medical
    customers in the second quarter, which offset a decrease in sales to the
    Company's other major medical customer of approximately $880,000 and
    $1,500,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996,
    respectively, from the comparable three and six month periods ended June 30,
    1995. Sales to the Company's two major medical product customers were
    $2,453,468 or 73.0% of net sales for the second quarter of 1996, compared to
    sales of $2,090,946 or 68.1% of net sales for the same period in 1995.
    Sales to the Company's two major medical product customers were $4,228,130
    or 69.6% of net sales and $4,268,518 or 70.5% of net sales for the
    six-months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Medical product
    orders substantially increased during the second quarter of 1996, and rotary
    vane actuator volume continued its positive growth during these months.

    Gross profit was 23.2% of net sales for the second quarter of 1996,
    compared to 17.5% of net sales for the second quarter of 1995.  Gross
    profit was 19.9% and 19.2% of net sales for the six month periods ended
    June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The improvement in gross profit for
    the quarter and six-months ended June 30, 1996, was primarily due to an
    increase in higher margin medical product business.  In addition, the
    Company was able to obtain operational efficiencies as a result of the
    increase in sales volume.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses were $644,814, or 19.2% of net
    sales for the second quarter of 1996, compared to $622,608, or 20.3% of net
    sales for the same period in 1995.  The dollar increase in these expenses
    for the second quarter of approximately $22,000 is primarily due to
    increases in selling related expenses of approximately $49,000 to market
    Company products (rotary vane actuators and oil centrifuges) including
    trade shows, business travel and additional sales personnel.  These
    increases in selling expenses were partially offset by a reduction in
    administrative expenses of approximately $27,000, primarily in legal and
    accounting costs incurred


                                          11

<PAGE>


    during the three-months ended June 30, 1995 related to restructuring of the
    debt underlying the EPR facility.  Selling, general and administrative
    expenses were $1,157,078, or 19.0% of net sales for the six-month period
    ended June 30, 1996, compared to $1,202,698, or 19.9% of net sales for the
    same period in 1995.  The decrease in these expenses for the six-month
    period ended June 30, 1996 is primarily due to a reduction in legal and
    accounting costs related to the restructuring of the debt underlying the
    EPR facility.

    The Company had operating income from continuing operations of $135,463 for
    the second quarter of 1996, compared to an operating loss from continuing
    operations of $84,788 for the same period in 1995.  The operating income
    from continuing operations for the three-months ended June 30, 1996 was
    attributable to increased volume, primarily in medical products, partially
    offset with a small increase of approximately $22,000 in selling and
    administrative expenses. The Company had operating income from continuing
    operations of $53,813 for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996,
    compared to an operating loss from continuing operations of $43,508 for the
    same period in 1995.  The improvement in income from continuing operations
    for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 is due to increased sales of
    higher margin medical products, coupled with a net decrease of $45,620 in
    selling, general and administrative expenses, primarily related to reduced
    legal and accounting expenses, as discussed above.

    The Company had income from continuing operations of $56,737, or $.02 per
    share ($.01 per share on a fully diluted basis) for the second quarter of
    1996, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $145,004 or $.04 per
    share for the same period in 1995.  The second quarter 1996 income from
    continuing operations resulted from the reasons stated above, along with
    the loss of management fee income of approximately $30,000 for managing the
    waste processing facility (Reuter Recycling of Florida, Inc.), which as
    described in Notes 3 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements in the
    Company's 1995 Form 10-KSB, was sold in October 1995.  The Company had a
    loss from continuing operations of $129,236, or $.04 per share (primary and
    fully diluted basis) for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996, compared
    to a loss from continuing operations of $147,800 or $.04 per share for the
    same period in 1995.  The improvement in loss from continuing operations
    for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 is due to the reasons stated
    above, net of lost management fee income of $60,000.

    The Company did not recognize a tax provision during the periods ended June
    30, 1996, due to the net operating loss carryforwards available to the
    Company as well as the Company's continued insolvency for tax purposes,
    subsequent to the debt restructuring.  The Company had no taxable income,
    and accordingly, recorded no provision for income taxes for the periods
    ended June 30, 1995.

    The effect of inflation on the Company's consolidated results has not been
    significant.

    DISCONTINUED WASTE PROCESSING OPERATIONS:

    As described in Notes 2 and 3 of the notes to consolidated financial
    statements in the Company's 1995 Form 10-KSB, the Company ceased operation
    of its EPR facility effective January 1, 1994, sold all assets of EPR
    effective September 1, 1994, and on January 24, 1996, entered into an
    agreement to restructure its guarantee of the debt obligation underlying
    the EPR facility.

    Losses from discontinued operations were $0 and $539,270 for the quarters
    ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and $0 and $1,077,678 for the
    six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The loss
    from discontinued operations for the quarter and six-month periods ended
    June 30, 1995, consists of accrued interest on the EPR note guaranteed by
    the Company.  There was no additional accrual of losses associated with
    financing underlying discontinued operations for the first and second
    quarters of 1996, due to the signing of a debt restructuring agreement on
    January 24, 1996, and the subsequent release of the documents from escrow
    on June 6, 1996.

    NET INCOME (LOSS):

    The net income for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 was $7,305,755 or $2.29
    per share ($1.84 per share on a fully diluted basis), compared to a net
    loss of $684,274 or $.21 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 1995.
    The net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 was $7,119,782
    or $2.23 per share ($1.99 per share on a fully diluted basis), compared to
    a net loss of $1,225,478 or $.38 per share for the same period in 1995.
    The improvement in 1996 is due primarily to recognition of an extraordinary
    gain from debt restructuring of $7,249,018 or $2.27 per share ($1.83 and
    $2.03 per share on a fully diluted basis for the three and six-month
    periods ended June 30, 1996, respectively) and not accruing interest on the
    EPR loan (as discussed above).

    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

    At June 30, 1996, the working capital deficit includes the current portion
    of the restructured debt obligation, in addition to the indebtedness under
    the asset-based short-term financing arrangement.  With the exception of
    the balance of the Income Sharing Agreement (see Note 3 to this Form
    10-QSB), debt associated with these agreements has been classified as a
    current liability due to ongoing covenant violations disclosed in the 
    following paragraph and in notes 2 and 7 to the consolidated financial 
    statements in the Company's 1995 Form 10-KSB.  The Company had a working
    capital deficit of $5,200,728 at June 30, 1996,  compared to a working
    capital deficit of $19,905,557 at December 31, 1995.  The current ratio at
    June 30, 1996 was .41, compared to .13 at December 31, 1995.  The
    improvement in the working capital deficit and current ratio is due
    primarily to the recognition of the debt restructuring which reduced the
    amount of debt previously carried that was classified as a current 
    liability.


                                          13

    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 the 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 August 8, 1996, the Company had borrowed approximately
    $2,830,000 and if the lender agrees to advance additional funds, had
    additional availability of approximately $75,000 under this line of credit.

    The Company had positive cash flow from operations for the six-months ended
    June 30, 1996 of $19,834, compared to positive cash flow from operations of
    $405,307 for the six-months ended June 30, 1995.  The decrease in cash flow
    from operations is primarily due to inventory build-up in anticipation of
    higher production volumes for the third and fourth quarters of 1996 and an
    increase in accounts receivable from the beginning of the year.  The
    Company's ability to meet its continuing manufacturing operations cash flow
    requirements during the remainder of 1996 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.  Near term capital
    commitments for new manufacturing equipment total approximately $175,000.
    Any future expenditures will depend on cash availability.  In addition to
    cash flows from operations, if any, the Company expects to seek needed
    capital through bank financing or asset-based lending arrangements.
    However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain
    such financing, or obtain financing on terms that are satisfactory to the
    Company.

    In summary, the Company currently has negative working capital and is in
    default under the terms of its asset-based short-term financing arrangement
    and, as a result of this default, is in default under the restructured Loan
    Agreement with Sanwa.  Either of these two lenders could, at any time,
    demand full payment of the underlying debt, which the Company would be
    unable to satisfy, in which case the Company may be forced to seek
    protection under U.S. Bankruptcy laws.  The Company is attempting to obtain
    waivers for the previously discussed debt covenant violations, however,
    there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such
    waivers.
