         the acquisition of Browning-Ferris Industries, Inc. ("BFI") under which
         Allied  acquired  BFI  for  $45 in  cash  per  BFI  common  share.  The

         Management,  Inc. for approximately $501.0 million, (3) an agreement to
         sell certain assets of BFI Gas Services,  Inc. to Gas Recovery Systems,
         Inc. for approximately $78.0 million and (4) an agreement to sell BFI's
         equity  interest in SITA, S.A. owned by BFI to Suez Lyonnaise des Eaux,

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (unaudited)

    (1)  Basis of Presentation -

         The accompanying  unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
    prepared by BFI pursuant to the rules and  regulations of the Securities and
    Exchange  Commission.  Certain  information  and note  disclosures  normally
    included in  financial  statements  prepared in  accordance  with  generally
    accepted  accounting  principles have been condensed or omitted  pursuant to
    such rules and  regulations.  In the opinion of management,  all adjustments
    and  disclosures  necessary  to  a  fair  presentation  of  these  financial
    statements have been included.  These financial statements should be read in
    conjunction  with the financial  statements  and notes  thereto  included in
    BFI's Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  September  30, 1998 as
    filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         Certain  reclassifications  have  been  made in  prior  year  financial
statements to conform to the fiscal year 1999 presentation.

    (2)  Earnings Per Share -

         The following table reconciles the number of common shares  outstanding
    with the  number of  common  shares  used in  computing  basic  and  diluted
    earnings per share (in thousands):

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

         Basic earnings per share amounts were computed by dividing  earnings by
    the weighted  average  number of shares of common stock  outstanding  during
    each period.  Diluted  earnings per share amounts were computed  considering
    the dilutive effect of stock options in the calculation. Options to purchase
    45,000  shares of common  stock at prices  ranging from $43.13 to $43.38 per
    share were outstanding  during the first nine months of fiscal 1999 but were
    not included in the  computation  of diluted  earnings per share because the
    options'  exercise  prices were greater than the average market price of the
    common shares. The 7.25% Automatic Common Exchange  Securities had no effect
    on the  computation for the periods  presented prior to their  settlement in
    June 1998.

(3)      Comprehensive Income -

         In June 1997,  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
    130 - "Reporting of Comprehensive Income" was issued establishing  standards
    for reporting and presentation of  comprehensive  income and its components.
    Comprehensive  income is defined as all  changes in a  company's  net assets
    except  changes  resulting  from  transactions  with  stockholders.  BFI has
    adopted SFAS No. 130 effective October 1, 1998. For the three and nine month
    periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, comprehensive income is as follows (in
    thousands):

    (4)  Special Charges (Credits), Net -

    Fiscal 1999 Special Charges ($19.2 million).

         Special  charges of $19.2  million  ($15.7  million after income taxes)
    were  reported  for the second  quarter of fiscal  1999.  Included  in these
    special charges were  approximately  $10.0 million of losses associated with
    the  divestiture of certain  operations in connection  with the purchase and
    sale transaction with Allied, which closed in early April 1999. In addition,
    BFI incurred  approximately  $9.2 million of investment  banking,  legal and
    other expenses  related to the merger with Allied,  which are not deductible
    for federal income tax purposes.  See Note (9) for further discussion of the
    merger with Allied.

    Fiscal 1998 Special Credits ($21.5 million).

         Special  credits of $21.5  million  ($12.9  million after income taxes)
    were reported for the six-month  period ended March 31, 1998.  These special
    credits are related principally to the gain of $17.9 million recognized from
    the sale in March  1998 of  substantially  all of BFI's  operations  outside
    North America to SITA, a Paris-based  subsidiary of Suez Lyonnaise des Eaux.
    In exchange for these  operations,  BFI received $950 million in cash and an
    ownership interest of approximately  19.2% in ordinary shares of SITA. Costs
    associated with the sale of these operations included estimated  transaction
    and  other  expenses  and  losses   accumulated  in  the  foreign   currency
    translation  component of common  stockholders'  equity  (approximately $133
    million).  A portion of the total gain,  net of  expenses,  was  deferred in
    connection with BFI's continuing investment in SITA.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (unaudited)

         BFI's  consolidated  results of  operations  on an unaudited  pro forma
    basis for the  nine-month  period ended June 30, 1998, as though the sale of
    the operations  outside North America had occurred on October 1, 1997 are as
    follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

                                                    Nine Months Ended
                                                      June 30, 1998
                                                    -----------------
        Pro forma revenues                             $3,063,510

        Pro forma income before extraordinary item
          and cumulative effects of changes in
          accounting principles                          $243,612

        Pro forma earnings per share -
          Basic                                             $1.33
          Diluted                                           $1.32

         These pro forma results are presented for  informational  purposes only
    and do not purport to show the actual  results which would have occurred had
    the sale of the  international  operations  been  consummated  on October 1,
    1997,  nor  should  they be  viewed  as  indicative  of  future  results  of
    operations.  In addition, these pro forma amounts give no effect to earnings
    from BFI's  equity  investment  in SITA on a pro forma  basis for the period
    prior to consummation of the sale of the international  operations.  Had any
    such estimated earnings from BFI's investment in SITA been considered in the
    BFI pro forma results of operations  presented  above,  management  believes
    that pro forma earnings per share amounts would reflect  significantly  less
    dilution  when  compared  with the  related  historical  earnings  per share
    amounts.

         The remaining  amounts  included in special  credits were  attributable
    principally to net gains  associated  with the  divestiture of certain North
    American operations in the first six months of fiscal 1998.

    (5)  Cumulative Effects of Changes in Accounting Principles -

         On November  20,  1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board's
    Emerging  Issues  Task Force  issued  EITF No.  97-13,  a  consensus  ruling
    requiring  that  certain  business  process  reengineering  costs  typically
    capitalized  by  companies  be  expensed  as  incurred.  The ruling  further
    required that previously  capitalized costs of this nature be written off as
    a  cumulative  effect of a change in  accounting  principle  in the  quarter
    containing November 20, 1997. BFI had previously  capitalized these types of
    costs in  connection  with its SAP  software  implementation  project.  As a
    result,  BFI recorded an after-tax  charge of $13.8 million or $.075 diluted
    earnings  per share in the first  quarter of fiscal  1998 as the  cumulative
    effect of a change in accounting principle.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (unaudited)

         During the second  quarter of fiscal  1998,  BFI  changed its method of
    accounting for recognition of value changes in its employee  retirement plan
    for purposes of  determining  annual expense under SFAS No. 87 - "Employers'
    Accounting  for  Pensions",  effective  October 1, 1997. BFI has changed its
    method of  calculating  the  value of assets of its plan from a  calculation
    which  recognized  changes  in fair  value  of  assets  over  five  years to
    recognition of changes in fair value  immediately.  BFI has also changed the
    method of recognizing  gains and losses from deferral  within a 10% corridor
    and  amortization  of gains outside this  corridor  over the future  working
    careers of the  participants  to a deferral  below a 5% corridor,  immediate
    recognition  within a 5-10% corridor and  amortization of gains outside this
    corridor over the future working careers of the participants. The new method
    is preferable  because,  in BFI's situation,  it produces results which more
    closely match current  economic  realities of BFI's  retirement plan through
    the use of the  current  fair value of assets  while  still  mitigating  the
    impact of extreme gains and losses.  As a result,  BFI recorded an after-tax
    credit  of $4.2  million,  or  $.023  diluted  earnings  per  share,  as the
    cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

    (6)  Business Combinations -

         During the current fiscal year, BFI paid  approximately  $130.5 million
    (including additional amounts payable, principally to former owners, of $3.4
    million and the  issuance of 257,468  shares of BFI's common stock valued at
    $8.4 million) to acquire 54 solid waste businesses, which were accounted for
    as purchases.  In connection  with these  acquisitions,  BFI recorded  other
    liabilities of $15.6 million.  Included in the current quarter  acquisitions
    were nine solid waste  businesses  acquired in connection  with the purchase
    and sale transaction with Allied. BFI paid  approximately  $97.7 million and
    assumed  liabilities of approximately  $14.6 million in connection with this
    transaction.  See Note (4) for further  discussion of this transaction.  The
    results  of  these   business   combinations   are  not  material  to  BFI's
    consolidated results of operations or financial position.

         During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998, BFI paid approximately
    $25.5 million (including  additional amounts payable,  principally to former
    owners,  of $0.7  million and the  issuance of 7,089  shares of BFI's common
    stock valued at $0.2  million) to acquire 30 solid waste  businesses,  which
    were accounted for as purchases. In connection with these acquisitions,  BFI
    recorded additional interest-bearing  indebtedness of $0.2 million and other
    liabilities of $1.5 million. The results of these business combinations were
    not  material  to BFI's  consolidated  results of  operations  or  financial
    position.

         The results of all  businesses  acquired in fiscal  years 1999 and 1998
    have been included in the consolidated  financial  statements from the dates
    of  acquisition.  In  allocating  purchase  price,  the assets  acquired and
    liabilities   assumed  in  connection  with  BFI's  acquisitions  have  been
    initially assigned and recorded based on preliminary estimates of fair value
    and may be revised,  as additional  information  concerning the valuation of
    such assets and liabilities  becomes  available.  As a result, the financial
    information  included in BFI's consolidated  financial statements is subject
    to adjustment  prospectively  as  subsequent  revisions in estimates of fair
    value, if any, are necessary.

    (7)  Long-Term Debt -
        Long-term debt at June 30, 1999 and September 30, 1998, was as follows
        (in thousands):

        Certain outstanding  borrowings  classified as long-term debt as of June
   30, 1999 have been  classified as long-term based upon a commitment by Allied
   management  to  provide  long-term  financing  as such debt  becomes  due and
   payable  by BFI.  See Note (9) for  further  discussion  of the  merger  with
   Allied.  It was BFI's intention to refinance certain  outstanding  borrowings
   classified  as  long-term  debt as of  September  30, 1998 through the use of
   BFI's existing  committed  long-term bank credit agreements in the event that
   alternative  long-term  refinancing  was  not  arranged.  A  summary  of such
   outstanding  borrowings  classified as long-term debt as of June 30, 1999 and
   September 30, 1998 is as follows (amounts in thousands):

        On January  15,  1999,  BFI  issued  $250  million  of Market  Value Put
   Securities  ("MVPs").  The MVPs bear  interest  at 6.08% and are subject to a
   mandatory put on January 18, 2000. First Chicago Capital Markets,  Inc. holds
   an option to remarket the MVPs on that date for an additional  two-year term.
   Proceeds from the MVPs were used to repay a portion of BFI's commercial paper
   balances.

   (8)  Commitments and Contingencies -

   Legal Proceedings.

        BFI and certain  subsidiaries  are  involved  in various  administrative
   matters or litigation,  including personal injury and other civil actions, as
   well as other claims and disputes that could result in additional  litigation
   or other adversary proceedings.

        While the final  resolution  of any  matter  may have an impact on BFI's
   consolidated financial results for a particular quarterly or annual reporting
   period,  management  believes that the ultimate  disposition of these matters
   will not have a materially  adverse  effect upon the  consolidated  financial
   position of BFI.

   Environmental Proceedings.

        BFI and  certain  subsidiaries  are  involved  in various  environmental
   matters or  proceedings,  including  original or renewal  permit  application
   proceedings  in  connection  with the  establishment,  operation,  expansion,
   closure and post-closure  activities of certain landfill disposal facilities,
   and  proceedings   relating  to  governmental   actions  resulting  from  the
   involvement  of  various   subsidiaries  of  BFI  with  certain  waste  sites
   (including  Superfund  sites),  as well as other matters or claims that could
   result in additional environmental proceedings.

        While the final  resolution  of any  matter  may have an impact on BFI's
   consolidated financial results for a particular quarterly or annual reporting
   period,  management  believes that the ultimate  disposition of these matters
   will not have a materially  adverse  effect upon the  consolidated  financial
   position of BFI.

   (9)  Subsequent Events

   Merger with Allied.

        On July 30, 1999, BFI was acquired by Allied  pursuant to the definitive
   merger  agreement  entered  into  in  March  1999.  Under  the  terms  of the
   agreement, Allied paid $45 in cash for each outstanding share of BFI's common
   stock,  or a  total  of  approximately  $7.5  billion  in  cash  and  assumed
   approximately  $1.9 billion in debt. At the effective date of the merger, BFI
   became a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Allied.  The  acquisition of BFI will be
   accounted  for by Allied  using the  purchase  method  of  accounting,  which
   requires an  allocation  of the  purchase  price to the assets  acquired  and
   liabilities  assumed  based on fair  value as  determined  by  Allied.  BFI's
   consolidated  financial  statements  present  BFI  prior to the  merger  with
   Allied.  These  consolidated  financial  statements have been prepared on the
   historical  cost basis of accounting in accordance  with  generally  accepted
   accounting principles which may be greater or less than the fair value of the
   assets and liabilities as determined by Allied.

   Divestiture of Equity Investment in SITA.

        In July 1999, BFI was requested by Allied to sell its equity  investment
   in SITA to Suez Lyonnaise des Eaux. Prior to the effective date of the merger
   with Allied,  July 30, 1999, BFI completed the sale of this equity investment
   in exchange for approximately $444 million in cash proceeds with an estimated
   pre-tax gain of approximately $75 million.

   Other Divestitures.

        Allied has entered into  agreements to sell BFI's  Canadian  solid waste
   assets, North American medical waste assets,  substantially all of the assets
   and certain  development  rights of BFI Gas Services,  Inc. and certain other
   assets  required  to be  sold  in  connection  with  approval  of the  merger
   transaction  by the U.S.  Department  of  Justice.  Aggregate  proceeds to be
   received from these sales, before expenses,  are expected to be approximately
   $1.2 billion.

   Credit Rating.

        In late July 1999,  credit rating agencies  lowered the credit rating on
   BFI's debt securities due to the merger with Allied. As a result,  the lessor
   of BFI's two  corporate  headquarters  buildings  has  exercised its right to
   require  BFI  to  purchase  the  buildings  at an  amount  stipulated  in the
   operating lease agreement,  which is currently approximately $90 million. BFI
   purchased the buildings on August 9, 1999 for approximately $90 million.

                          ALLIED WASTE INDUSTRIES, INC.

                     PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)

The unaudited pro forma combined  balance sheet as of June 30, 1999 gives effect
to the acquisition of BFI, the related financings, and the proposed sales of the
medical  waste  operations  of BFI, the Canadian  operations of BFI, and certain
assets of BFI Gas Services,  Inc. operations and the sale of BFI's investment in
SITA,  S.A.,  as if each had occurred on June 30, 1999.  The unaudited pro forma
combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and the
year ended December 31, 1998 give  effect to these  transactions  as if each had
occurred on January 1, 1998.

These  unaudited pro forma  combined  financial  statements do not purport to be
indicative  of the combined  results of  operations of Allied and BFI that might
have occurred had the BFI acquisition been completed on such dates, nor are they
indicative of future results of operations. The pro forma adjustments related to
the purchase  allocation of the BFI  acquisition are preliminary and do not give
effect to any  appraisal  and  marking  to fair  market  value of the assets and
liabilities  of BFI which Allied  intends to do in connection  with the purchase
accounting  to be performed  subsequent  to the filing of this  current  report.
Purchase price adjustments recorded based upon information to be received in the
future may have a significant impact on total assets, total liabilities, cost of
operations,  depreciation and amortization,  goodwill  amortization and interest
expense.  In  addition,  the  pro  forma  adjustments  do not  reflect  possible
acquisition related costs relating to environmental related matters,  litigation
liabilities,  regulatory  compliance  matters,  restructuring,  integration  and
abandonment  of assets,  which could result in significant  additional  charges.
Purchase accounting  adjustments,  acquisition-related  costs and other possible
charges,  which may arise from the acquisition of BFI, may materially impact our
future combined financial position and combined financial results of operations.
The pro forma combined financial statements do not give effect to other possible
future sales of assets or operations or to any cost savings or other benefits of
the business  combination  which may result from the integration of Allied's and
BFI's operations.

The  unaudited  pro  forma  combined  financial  statements  should  be  read in
conjunction with the notes to unaudited pro forma combined financial statements,
the historical consolidated financial statements of Allied and the related notes
and the historical  consolidated  financial statements of BFI and related notes.
See "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations - Disclosure Regarding Forward Looking Statements" in Allied's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998, as amended.

BFI Pro Forma Statements of Operations

The amounts related to the BFI Acquisition in the pro forma combined  statements
of operations  represent the historical results of operations of BFI for the six
months  ended June 30, 1999 and the year ended  September  30, 1998  adjusted to
give effect to BFI's  divestiture  of its  operations  outside of North  America
associated  with the SITA  Transaction (as defined  below).  Therefore,  the pro
forma  statements of operations do not include BFI's three months ended December
31, 1998.  Revenues and income  before  income taxes were  $1,050.7  million and
$129.4 million, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 1998.

In November 1997, BFI entered into an agreement to merge its operations  outside
North America with SITA, a subsidiary  of Suez  Lyonnaise des Eaux. On March 31,
1998,  BFI  announced  that  this  transaction  had been  completed  (the  "SITA
Transaction"). Under the terms of the agreement, BFI received cash totaling $950
million  and  shares of SITA  stock  amounting  to  approximately  19.2%  equity
interest in SITA. Suez Lyonnaise des Eaux owns more than 50% of SITA.

3.  Pro Forma Adjustments Related to the BFI Acquisition

The  pro  forma  adjustments  related  to the  purchase  allocation  of the  BFI
acquisition  are preliminary and do not give effect to any appraisal and marking
to fair market value of the assets and  liabilities  of BFI which Allied intends
to do in connection with the purchase  accounting to be performed  subsequent to
the filing of this current  report.  Purchase price  adjustments  recorded based
upon  information to be received in the future may have a significant  impact on
total  assets,   total  liabilities,   cost  of  operations,   depreciation  and
amortization,  goodwill amortization and interest expense. In addition,  the pro
forma adjustments do not reflect possible acquisition related costs with respect
to environmental related matters, litigation liabilities,  regulatory compliance
matters,  restructuring,  integration  and  abandonment  of assets,  which could
result in significant additional charges. Future combined financial position and
combined  financial  results of  operations  may be  materially  impacted by the
purchase  accounting  adjustments,  acquisition related costs and other possible
charges, which may arise from the acquisition of BFI.
