            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
        LEAK-X ENVIRONMENTAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                           (UNAUDITED)

                  PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1.   Financial Statements

Note 1.   Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
of Leak-X Environmental Corporation (the "Company") have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. 
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all
adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) have been included.  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. 
Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending December 31, 1996.  For further information, refer
to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year
ended December 31, 1995.

     Per share data for the periods are based upon the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during such periods,
plus net additional shares issued upon exercise of options and
warrants.  Outstanding options and warrants have not been included
in the computation of per share data in the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1996 or June 30, 1995 as they would be
immaterial or anti-dilutive, respectively.

Note 2.   Financial Matters

     Total interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1996
and June 30, 1995 was $32,359 and $1,424, respectively.

Note 3.  Discontinued Operations

     Net assets of discontinued operations at June 30, 1996 consist
of accounts receivable of $528,107.  Net liabilities of
discontinued operations at June 30, 1996 include accounts payable
and accrued expenses of $348,814 and $153,780, respectively.

Note 4.  Line of Credit
     
     On March 29, 1996, the Company received a waiver from its
financial institution with respect to certain covenants of its
Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement").  The waiver was
extended for the balance of the term of the agreement to July 1,
1996.  The Company executed a new Credit Agreement for the period
July 1, 1996 through July 1, 1997.  The new Credit Agreement
permits the Company to borrow up to $750,000.  Borrowings under the
Credit Agreement are limited to 60% of eligible accounts
receivable, as defined, and bear interest at the prime rate plus
three-quarter (3/4) percent.

Note 5.  Subsequent Events

     On July 1, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with
John S. Gelles and William H. Gelles, Jr., Officers and Directors
of the Company, to convert their 1,688,888 shares of Preferred
Stock into 1,501,234 shares of Common Stock in exchange for certain
registration rights.  In accordance with the agreement, John and
William Gelles irrevocably waived any and all rights to dividends
to which they may have been entitled in accordance with the terms
of the Preferred Stock.  In addition, the Company entered into
thirty-month employment agreements with John and William Gelles to
serve as employees of the Company, each at an monthly salary of
$6,250 through December 31, 1996 and $4,167 thereafter. The Company
also granted 200,000 incentive stock options each to John and
William Gelles pursuant to the Company's 1995 stock Option plan at
an exercise price of $0.265.

     Net revenue increased 109% to $2,046,953 for the quarter ended
June 30, 1996 (the "1996 Quarter") compared to $980,928 for the
quarter ended June 30, 1995 (the "1995 Quarter").  The increase in
revenues is attributable to a 53% increase in environmental
consulting services and the addition of the Company's groundwater
remediation business which the Company acquired in September 1995. 

     The Company had a lower gross margin of 26% for the 1996
Quarter as compared to a gross  margin of 29% in the 1995 Quarter. 
The lower gross margin is primarily attributable to higher
construction management revenues in the 1996 Quarter which have a
lower margin than environmental consulting revenues.

     The Company reported a loss of $78,115 in the 1996 Quarter as
compared to income of $12,809 in the 1995 Quarter.  The loss in the
1996 Quarter is primarily due to low sales in the groundwater
remediation business in the 1996 Quarter.  Revenues for groundwater
remediation services were lower than anticipated for the 1996
Quarter primarily attributable to delays in receipt of anticipated
equipment orders.  These delays were, in part, a result of proposed
changes that are being considered by environmental regulators that
would require a longer "up-front" evaluation of sites where
remediation may be required.  Accordingly, potential customers of
the groundwater remediation services are postponing purchases until
the proposed changes are more fully defined by environmental
regulators.

     The $78,115 loss in the quarter ended June 30, 1996 is a
significant improvement over the $287,549 loss reported for the
quarter ended March 31, 1996.  In the quarter ended June 30, 1996,
the Company made significant reductions in its overhead expenses in
the groundwater remediation business in order to better compensate
for the period of lower sales.

Six Months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the Six Months ended
June 30, 1995

     Net revenue increased 119% to $3,863,691 for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 (the "1996 Period") compared to $1,767,292 for
the six months ended June 30, 1995 (the "1995 Period").  The
increase in revenues is attributable to a 55% increase in
environmental consulting services and the addition of the Company's
groundwater remediation business which the Company acquired in
September 1995. 

     The Company had a lower gross margin of 23% for the 1996
Period as compared to a gross  margin of 33% in the 1995 Period. 
The lower gross margin is primarily attributable to the low gross
margin from the Company's groundwater remediation business which
was adversely affected by a decline in sales volume in the 1996
Period.

     The Company reported a loss of $365,664 in the 1996 Period as
compared to income of $38,070 in the 1995 Period.  The loss in the
1996 Period is primarily due to low sales and the resultant low
gross margin in the groundwater remediation business.  Even though
the Company's environmental consulting business attained its
highest six month sales volume in its six year history, revenues
for groundwater remediation services were lower than anticipated
for the 1996 Quarter, primarily attributable to delays in receipt
of anticipated equipment orders.  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company generated $151,434 in cash from operating
activities in the 1996 Period as compared to utilizing $275,547 in
the 1995 Period.  The primary change in the generation of cash from
operating activities was a $695,804 decrease in accounts receivable
in the 1996 Period as compared to a $167,050 increase in the 1995
Period.  Accounts payable was reduced by $305,655 in the 1996
Period as compared to a reduction of $71,043 in the 1995 period. 
In addition, the Company incurred a loss of $365,664 in the 1996
Period as compared to income of 38,070 in the 1995 Period. 

     Net cash used by investing activities in the 1996 Period was
$29,346 as compared to $25,819 net cash used in the 1995 Period. 
Capital expenditures were primarily for computer equipment.

     Net cash provided by financing activities was $35,940 in the
1996 Period as compared to $1,380 in the 1995 Period.  In the 1996
Period, the Company completed a private placement of its common
stock and warrants which commenced in December 1995 and which
resulted in net cash of $139,491.  In addition, the Company paid
down $78,000 on its line of credit and $25,551 on its long-term
debt.  The Company received $1,380 in proceeds from the exercise of
stock options in the 1995 Period. 

     The Company's working capital decreased 56% at June 30, 1996
to $277,277 as compared to $623,884 at December 31, 1995.  The
change in working capital was primarily the result of the decrease
in accounts receivable, inventory and the subscription receivable
from the private placement.  The Company utilized working capital
to manage accounts payable, fund ongoing operations and pay down
its line of credit.

     Backlog at June 30, 1996 of $5,000,000 was consistent with the
level at December 31, 1995, primarily as a result of the
continuation of the NYNEX work.  The Company believes that all of
the current backlog will be completed in 1996, although, no
assurance of this can be given.  Much of the Company's backlog is
subject to termination at will and rescheduling without significant
penalty.

     On March 29, 1996, the Company received a waiver through July
1, 1996 with respect to failure to meet some of the terms of the
financial covenants of its Credit Agreement at December 31, 1995. 
The Company was not in default of any covenants of the Credit
Agreement at June 30, 1996.  On June 27, 1996, the Company renewed
its Credit Agreement with First Union National Bank effective July
1, 1996.  The new Credit Agreement permits the Company to borrow up
to $750,000.  Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are limited to
60% of eligible accounts receivable, as defined, and bear interest
at the prime rate plus three-quarter (3/4) percent.  The Company
had $378,000 of available borrowing at June 30, 1996. 

     On July 1, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with
John S. Gelles and William H. Gelles, Jr., Officers and Directors
of the Company, to convert their 1,688,888 shares of Preferred
Stock into 1,501,234 shares of Common Stock in exchange for certain
registration rights.  In accordance with the agreement, John and
William Gelles irrevocably waived any and all rights to dividends
to which they may have been entitled in accordance with the terms
of the Preferred Stock.

     The Company deems its present facilities and equipment
adequate for its immediate needs and it has no material commitments
for capital expenditures.  The Company believes its present
liquidity and cash flow are adequate for its current needs.  There
can be no assurance, however, that additional financing, whether
from debt or equity, will be available to the Company when needed
on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

     The Company's management believes that inflation has not had
a significant impact on its business during the past three years.

     The statements contained herein include forward looking
statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties.  In
addition to the facts discussed, among the other factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially are the following:
business conditions and growth in the industry and general economy;
competitive factors, such as rival designs and prices; inventory
risks due to shifts in market demand; changes in sales mix; and the
risk factors listed from time to time in the Company's SEC reports.
