                          Independent Auditors' Report


The Board of Directors
Community Refuse Service, Inc.:


We have audited the  accompanying  combined  balance sheets of Community  Refuse
Service,  Inc. and  Affiliate as of December 31, 1998 and 1997,  and the related
combined statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders' equity
and cash flows for the years 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 audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the combined  financial  statements  referred to above  present
fairly,  in all material  respects,  the financial  position of Community Refuse
Service, Inc. and Affiliate as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of
their  operations  and their cash  flows for the years then ended in  conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

(1)    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

       (a)    Principles of Combination

              The combined financial statements include the financial statements
              of  Community  Refuse  Service,  Inc.  (CRS)  and  its  affiliate,
              Cumberland  Waste Services,  Inc.  (CWS).  Both companies are 100%
              owned by members of the same family. All significant  intercompany
              balances and transactions  have been eliminated in combination.  A
              brief description of the operations of the companies follows:

              CRS was incorporated on October 12, 1968. CRS currently operates a
              landfill in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.

              CWS began  operations  as of January 1, 1996 when the separate and
              distinct   operations  were  extracted  from  CRS.  CWS  currently
              operates  a  waste   removal  and  transfer   service  in  central
              Pennsylvania.

       (b)    Revenue Recognition

              Disposal  revenue is  recognized  when refuse is  delivered to the
              landfill.  Hauling  revenue is  recognized  during the time period
              service  takes place.  Deferred  revenue on the  combined  balance
              sheets  represents  disposal  revenue  collected  in  advance  and
              hauling revenue collected prior to the service period.

       (c)    Cash and Cash Equivalents

              All short-term  investments  which have an original maturity of 90
              days or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

       (d)    Investment Securities and Restricted Securities

              Securities  held by the  Company  at  December  31,  1998 and 1997
              consist of U.S.  Treasury,  municipal debt and equity  securities.
              Debt  and  equity  securities  are  classified  into  one of three
              categories:  trading,  available-for-sale,   or  held-to-maturity.
              Trading securities are bought and held principally for the purpose
              of selling them in the near term.  Held-to-maturity securities are
              those  securities  in which the Company has the ability and intent
              to hold the security until  maturity.  All securities not included
              in    trading    or    held-to-maturity    are    classified    as
              available-for-sale.  The Company has no  securities  classified as
              trading.

              Available-for-sale  securities  are recorded at fair value and are
              classified  as  investment  securities  on  the  combined  balance
              sheets.  Unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale
              securities  are  excluded  from  earnings  and are  reported  as a
              separate component of other  comprehensive  income until realized.
              Realized  gains  and  losses  from the sale of  available-for-sale
              securities  are  determined  on a specific  identification  basis.
              Dividend and interest income is recognized when earned. Restricted
              securities   consist   principally  of  securities   deposited  in
              connection  with  the  future  financial  obligation  of  landfill
              closure.   Amounts  are  principally   invested  in  fixed  income
              securities of the U.S. government and municipalities.  The Company
              considers  its  restricted   securities  to  be  held-to-maturity.
              Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost.

       (e)    Landfill Development Costs

              The costs incurred to prepare a new section (cell) of the landfill
              are  reflected  as  landfill  development  costs  on the  combined
              balance sheets. The landfill development costs are amortized using
              the unit-of-production method, which is calculated using the total
              units of  airspace  filled  during the year in  relation  to total
              estimated permitted airspace capacity of the new cell.

       (f)    Property, Plant, and Equipment

              Property,  plant,  and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation
              expense is computed using  straight-line  and accelerated  methods
              over  estimated  useful lives  between 5 and 15 years,  except for
              buildings, which are depreciated over 27.5 to 31.5 years.

              Additions,  improvements,  and  expenditures  for maintenance that
              significantly   extend  the   useful   lives  of   equipment   are
              capitalized.  Other  expenditures  for maintenance and repairs are
              expensed.

              When  property or equipment is sold or retired,  the original cost
              is  removed  from the  asset  account  together  with the  related
              accumulated  depreciation.  Gains or losses  resulting  from these
              transactions are included in income or expense.

       (g)    Accrued Landfill Closure Costs

              The Company estimates and accrues landfill closure costs on a unit
              of production basis over the remaining permitted airspace capacity
              for  each  Pennsylvania  Department  of  Environmental  Protection
              expansion  approval.  The accrual is based on final capping of the
              site,  site  inspection,  leachate  management,  and  methane  gas
              control.

       (h)    Income Taxes

              Both  companies,  with the  consent  of their  stockholders,  have
              elected  to  be  treated  as  Small   Business   Corporations   (S
              corporations) for federal income tax purposes which provides that,
              in lieu of corporation income taxes, the stockholders are taxed on
              each company's taxable income. Therefore, no provision for federal
              income taxes is presented in these combined  financial  statements
              for these  earnings.  Both companies have also elected to be taxed
              as S corporations  for state income tax reporting and no provision
              for state income taxes is presented.

       (i)    Long-Lived Assets

              Long-lived  assets  and  certain   identifiable   intangibles  are
              reviewed   for   impairment   whenever   events  or   changes   in
              circumstances  indicate  that the carrying  amount of an asset may
              not be recoverable.  Recoverability  of assets to be held and used
              is measured by a comparison of the carrying  amount of an asset to
              future net cash flows  expected to be generated  by the asset.  If
              such assets are  considered to be impaired,  the  impairment to be
              recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying  amount
              of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

       (j)    Use of Estimates

              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.

       (k)    Comprehensive Income

              On January 1, 1998,  the Company  adopted  Statement  of Financial
              Accounting  Standards  (SFAS)  No.  130,  Reporting  Comprehensive
              Income.  SFAS No. 130  establishes  standards  for  reporting  and
              presentation of comprehensive  income and its components in a full
              set of financial statements.  Comprehensive income consists of net
              income and net  unrealized  gains  (losses) on  securities  and is
              presented in the combined  statements of stockholders'  equity and
              operations and comprehensive  income.  The Statement requires only
              additional  disclosures in the combined financial  statements;  it
              does not affect the  Company's  financial  position  or results of
              operations. Prior year financial statements have been reclassified
              to conform to the requirements of SFAS No. 130.

(2)    Investment Securities

       The amortized cost,  gross  unrealized  holding gains,  gross  unrealized
       holding losses and fair value for available-for-sale  securities by major
       security type and class of security at December 31, 1998 and 1997 were as
       follows:

</TABLE>

(3)    Deposit on Land Purchase

       The Company has entered  into a contract to purchase a property  adjacent
       to its landfill. A down payment of $23,000 on December 21, 1998 was made.
       This represents approximately ten percent of the total purchase price.


(4)    Restricted Securities

       Under the regulations of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Department of
       Environmental  Protection  (DEP),  the Company must post a bond to insure
       funds for any clean-up  activity that may be required upon the closure of
       the landfill facility. The bond would be returned upon the closure of the
       facility  less any  amount  used for  clean-up  activities.  The  Company
       estimates  that the  remaining  life of the current  facility is at least
       five to ten years.  The DEP  commitment is secured by various  letters of
       credit  issued  by  Valleybank   and  Trust  Company  in  the  amount  of
       $1,990,470. The DEP commitment for the area known as the Newton Expansion
       is secured by a letter of credit issued by  Valleybank  and Trust Company
       in the amount of $3,576,668.

       Pursuant to a disposal  agreement  between the Solid Waste  Authority  of
       Cumberland County and the Company a ten-percent performance bond is to be
       provided. Under the agreement, the Company has reserved disposal capacity
       for municipal solid waste at its landfill to serve the long-term disposal
       needs of  Cumberland  County.  Additionally,  the  agreement  establishes
       maximum disposal rates which the Company may charge the County.

       Valleybank and Trust Company is holding U.S.  Treasury and municipal debt
       securities in trust to secure the two  obligations  discussed  above,  as
       follows:

                                                            1998          1997

(5)    Deferred Revenue

       Deferred revenue at December 31, 1998 and 1997 consists of the following:

                                                            1998          1997

                                                         ==========   ==========


       The Company reserved  landfill space for future use by a single customer.
       The customer advanced a non-refundable  deposit of $750,000 on January 3,
       1995. The deposit is being  recognized as income on a pro-rated  basis as
       the landfill  space is utilized.  The customer is required to utilize the
       reserved  space  within  five years  from the date of the  deposit or the
       remaining  deposit will be forfeited.  The agreement limits the amount of
       usage on a monthly  basis.  As of December  31,  1998 and 1997,  $433,573
       remains as deferred revenue under this arrangement.


(6)    Line of Credit

       The Company has a $3,175,000  line of credit facility with Valleybank and
       Trust  Company,  of which  $2,175,000  is available for use as Letters of
       Credit.  There were  letters of credit  outstanding  at December 31, 1998
       amounting to  $1,990,470.  The  remaining  $1,000,000  is  available  for
       operations.  Interest is payable at the Valleybank and Trust Company base
       rate. There was no outstanding balance as of December 31, 1998 or 1997.

(7)    Long-Term Debt

       As of December 31, 1998 the Company had long-term debt as follows:
