                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
   Trusco Tank, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of Trusco Tank, Inc.
and Affiliate (the Company) as of December 31, 1996 and the related combined
statements of income, changes in stockholders' and partnership equity, and cash
flows for the year then ended. These combined financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of Trusco
Tank, Inc. and Affiliate as of December 31, 1996, and the combined results of
their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

                        TRUSCO TANK, INC. AND AFFILIATE
                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                    -------


1.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

          Combined Presentation:

          The combined financial statements include the financial statements of
          Trusco Tank, Inc. (an S Corporation) and JR Company (a partnership),
          hereinafter collectively referred to as the Company. These entities
          are under common control and management and are the subject of a
          potential acquisition by Astrotech International Corporation (see
          Note 10). All intercompany transactions and balances have been
          eliminated in combination.

          Nature of Business:

          Trusco Tank, Inc. was founded in 1963 and incorporated in 1977 as a
          steel fabricator with technical expertise in steel fabrication,
          construction and corrosion protection. Trusco Tank, Inc. produces
          various tanks and steel products from two California facilities in
          the cities of San Luis Obispo and Fresno. The Company is a supplier
          of steel storage tanks to a variety of industries throughout the
          western United States. JR Company was formed in 1983 to own the land
          and buildings at the Company's facilities in San Luis Obispo.

          Revenue Recognition:

          The Company generates revenue from both construction contracts and
          product sales.

          The Company records income on construction contracts for water tanks,
          custom projects and water screens using the percentage-of-completion
          method of accounting. Under this method income is determined by
          applying the percentage of completion of contracts in each year,
          based on actual costs incurred compared to total estimated costs, to
          the estimated final income, except that estimated losses which are
          apparent prior to completion are provided for in their entirety. As
          contracts extend over one or more years, revisions in cost and
          profits estimated during the course of the work are reflected in the
          accounting period in which the facts which require the revisions
          become known. It is reasonably possible that future operating results
          may be affected if actual contract costs incurred differ from total
          contract costs currently estimated by management. Contract costs
          include all direct material and labor costs and certain indirect
          costs related to contract performance. Selling, general and
          administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.

          The Company records income on the underground tank and above ground
          tank segments of its operations when products are shipped to the
          customers based on the accrual method of accounting.

          Accounts Receivable:

          The Company uses the allowance method of accounting for bad debt
          expense. The allowance is based on prior history and management's
          judgment on the collectibility of accounts receivable.

1.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued:

          Inventories:

          Inventories represent construction materials and supplies not charged
          to specific construction projects, and the cost of items associated
          with the underground tank and above ground tank segments of the
          operations. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market
          using the first-in, first-out method of valuing inventory. Raw
          materials, work in process, and finished goods inventories are
          $1,731,170, $305,189 and $615,138, respectively, at December 31,
          1996.

          Fixed Assets:

          Depreciation of fixed assets is computed by the straight-line method
          based on the cost of the assets, less allowance for salvage value
          where appropriate. Estimated useful lives vary from three to thirty
          years. All assets are recorded at cost.

          Research and Development Expense:

          Research and development expense is charged against income when
          incurred. Research and development expense for the year ended
          December 31, 1996 was $26,566 and is included in general and
          administrative expense.

          Cash Equivalents:

          The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an
          original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The
          carrying amounts of these instruments approximate fair value.

          Estimates:

          The preparation of combined 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 the 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.

          Concentration of Credit Risk:

          The Company grants credit to customers principally involved in the
          business of Municipal Water Storage. The Company performs ongoing
          credit evaluations of its customers to minimize its credit risk.

          Warranty Expense:

          The Company warrants that its tanks, workmanship and products will
          meet certain specifications. The Company records the liability for
          estimated warranty claims on specific contracts based on management's
          best estimate and on prior experience. The warranty liability, which
          totaled $106,000 at December 31, 1996, is subject to estimates and as
          such it is at least reasonably possible that actual amounts may
          differ from these estimates.

3.     Income Taxes:

       In March 1991, Trusco Tank, Inc. elected to be treated as a small
       business corporation under Subchapter S provisions of the Internal
       Revenue Code and was granted S corporation status for California state
       tax purposes effective February 1, 1991.  In this status, Trusco Tank,
       Inc. is not a taxable entity for federal income taxes and elements of
       income and expense flow through and are taxed to the shareholders on an
       individual basis.  However, Trusco Tank, Inc. still pays state taxes at
       the rate of 1.5%.

       Provision for state income taxes at December 31, 1996 consisted of the
       following:

           Current taxes                                               $30,667

       Deferred state taxes are considered immaterial to the combined financial
       statements and therefore have not been presented.

       The income from JR Company is taxed to the partners on their individual
       tax returns. The partnership is not a tax paying entity for purposes of
       federal and state income taxes, and no income taxes have been recorded
       for it in the combined financial statements.

       The Company's S Corporation and partnership tax returns and the amount
       of distributable income are subject to examination by federal and state
       taxing authorities. In the event of an examination of the Company's or
       partnership's tax returns, the tax liabilities of the shareholder or
       partner could be changed by the taxing authorities.

4.     Line of Credit:

       The Company has a bank revolving line of credit outstanding of
       $2,300,000 at December 31, 1996. The indebtedness is secured by accounts
       receivable, inventory and equipment of the Company. A maximum of 80% of
       the Company's eligible accounts receivable plus 25% of the Company's
       inventory excluding work in process can be advanced up to a total of
       $2,500,000.  These funds are to be used to provide working capital.
       Interest on advanced amounts is payable monthly at the rate of 1% above
       the bank's prime rate which was 9.25% at December 31, 1996. The
       outstanding principal matures June 5, 1997. This agreement, as well as
       the bank term loan and installment loans discussed in Note 5, contain
       subjective acceleration clauses which permit the bank to accelerate the
       repayment of the debt upon the occurrence of certain events as defined
       in the agreements.
