CHEMPOWER, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

March 31, 1995

NOTE C--CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of 90 days
or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist
primarily of money market funds.

NOTE D--NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

The net income per common share amounts have been computed by dividing net
income by the weighted-average number of shares (common and common equivalent)
outstanding. For purposes of this computation, stock options are common
equivalent shares.

NOTE E--REDEEMABLE COMMON STOCK

During 1993, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase the common shares
and options held by a former employee. The original purchase price was $819,514,
of which $419,514 remained unpaid at December 31, 1994. In January 1995, the
Company entered into a mutual release agreement in which the former employee
rescinded his rights to the options and agreed to tender the remaining 87,691
common shares in exchange for $200,000.

        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Current three months compared to the same period last year

Revenues for the thirteen week period ended March 31, 1995 were $19,039,000, a
105.2% increase from last year's first quarter $9,279,000. This represents
increases in both of our core segments: contracts and products manufacturing and
distribution.

Contract revenues were $15,192,000, an increase of $8,328,000 from the
$6,864,000 recorded in the first three months of 1994. This increase was the
result of three major construction contracts in progress during the first
quarter of 1995 as well as the inclusion of Global Power Company operations,
acquired in the second quarter of 1994. Contract revenues represented 79.8% of
total revenues for the first quarter of 1995, compared to 74.0% for the
corresponding period of 1994.

Revenues from products manufacturing and distribution were $3,847,000, which was
an increase of $1,432,000 from the $2,415,000 during the same period of 1994.
This increase was primarily the result of the inclusion of Owens Precision
Fabricators operations, acquired in the first quarter of 1994, as well as an
increased demand for products manufactured by our Houston Products division.
Products manufacturing and distribution represented 20.2% of total revenues in
1995, as compared to 26.0% in 1994.

Cost of contract revenues was 93.0% of contract revenues during the first
quarter of 1995 versus 88.5% in 1994. The increase in this segment's cost
percentage was the result of continuing competitive pricing and excess costs
recognized on one major fixed-price project. Cost of products manufacturing and
distribution was 66.5% of products manufacturing and distribution revenues in
1995 versus 71.1% in 1994. This cost percentage was affected by the addition of
operations of the Owens Precision Fabricators division.

Resulting gross profit improved $866,000 between the first quarter of 1994 and
1995, due to increased revenues in our core segments.

Selling, general and administrative costs increased $536,000, or 34.6% from
$1,548,000 in 1994 to $2,084,000 in 1995. The increase was primarily related to
the 1994 acquisitions.

Interest income was $136,000 and $96,000 for the first quarter of 1995 and 1994,
respectively. This increase was the result of higher rates of return on our
investments.

Net income for the first quarter of 1995 was $262,000 or $.04 per share compared
to $49,000 or $.01 per share in 1994. Net income increased to 1.4% of revenues
compared to .5 % in 1994.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)

Financial condition, liquidity and capital resources

At March 31, 1995, the Company's working capital (current assets less current
liabilities) was $ 26,271,000 versus $25,895,000 at December 31, 1994.

The cash and cash equivalents component of working capital increased $2,214,000
to $14,078,000 primarily due to the increased collection efforts on trade
receivables.

The ratio of current assets to current liabilities (current ratio) was 4.6 at
the end of the first quarter of 1995, compared to 3.6 at December 31, 1994. The
Company currently has a $10,000,000 line of credit with First National Bank of
Ohio. As of March 31, 1995, there were no borrowings against credit facilities
available to the Company.

Gross capital expenditures totaled $204,000 during the first quarter of 1995.

The Company's current cash, funds available under its credit facility and future
cash flow from operations should be sufficient to meet capital requirements and
short-term working capital needs.

Inflation

The Company's operations have not been materially affected by inflation or
changing prices. A majority of revenues are pursuant to contracts which enable
the Company to pass labor and material cost increases to its customers.
Unanticipated levels of inflation could, however, reduce the expected profit on
firm price service or product distribution contracts.

Events, Transactions, and Trends

The Company continues to experience increased workers' compensation costs in a
number of the states in which it operates. The Company closely monitors these
costs and adjusts its pricing accordingly. However, an inability to pass these
increases on could have an adverse affect on the Company's business.
