                      HANDEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
       For the Six and Three Months Ended June 29, 1996 and July 1, 1995

Note 1 In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial
       statements contain all adjustments (all of which are normal and
       recurring in nature) necessary to present fairly the financial position
       of the Company at June 29, 1996 and the results of operations for the
       six and three month periods ended June 29, 1996 and July 1, 1995. The
       statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
       and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report for the year
       ended December 30, 1995.
Note 2 The consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities
       as of June 29, 1996, and the results of operations for the six and three
       month periods ended June 29, 1996, of New Horizons Computer Learning
       Center of  Cleveland, Ltd., L.L.C., a joint venture in which the Company
       retained a minority interest through December 30, 1995. Following the
       bankruptcy of the majority member's parent corporation the Company,
       assumed control of and provided the financing and management of the day
       to day operations of the venture. As a result, management believes that
       the consolidation of the assets, liabilities and results of operations
       of the venture beginning in 1996, is appropriate.
Note 3 Certain items on the 1995 financial statements have been reclassified to
       conform to the 1996 presentation.

                         PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                        --------------------------------
                ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
               -------------------------------------------------
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                 ----------------------------------------------
GENERAL
- - -------
     The Company conducts two distinct lines of business:  the environmental
segment, through its wholly-owned environmental holding company, Handex
Environmental, Inc., and subsidiaries ("Handex Environmental"), and the computer
educational segment, through its wholly-owned education holding company, New
Horizons Education Corporation and subsidiaries ("New Horizons").
     The discussion that follows presents the business conditions and certain
financial information pertaining to each of the two business segments.
                                       6
ENVIRONMENTAL BUSINESS SEGMENT
- - -------------------------------
     Net operating revenues include fees for services provided directly by
Handex Environmental and fees for arranging for subcontractors' services, as
well as proceeds from the sale and rental  of equipment.  Handex Environmental,
in the course of providing its services, routinely subcontracts for outside
services such as soil cartage, laboratory testing and other specialized
services.  These costs are generally passed through to clients and, in
accordance with industry practice, are included in total operating revenues.
Because subcontractor services can change significantly from project to project,
changes in total operating revenues may not be truly indicative of business
trends.  Accordingly, Handex Environmental views net operating revenues, which
is total operating revenues less the cost of subcontractor services, as its
primary measure of revenue growth.
     Cost of net operating revenues includes professional salaries, other direct
labor, material purchases and certain direct and indirect overhead costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses include management salaries, sales
and marketing salaries and expenses, and clerical and administrative overhead.
     Over the last several years, Handex Environmental has responded to trends
in its industry  and has increased spending in the areas of administration,
computerization, engineering and marketing. These additional expenditures  in
the administrative,  engineering and computer areas are in direct response to
customer requirements for more detailed information concerning the technical and
financial status of ongoing projects. Since early 1992, a majority of Handex
Environmental's customers have required more detailed proposals and estimates,
more frequent reports on project technical progress, and more sophisticated cost
tracking and reporting. During the same time frame, Handex Environmental
increased spending on sales and marketing efforts partly in response to
increased competition in the marketplace and partly as an integral component of
a strategy to diversify its client base and pursue work from industrial clients.
Handex Environmental believes that spending on these functions will be required
to compete effectively in the future.
     Handex Environmental's customers have become increasingly cost conscious.
This cost consciousness on the part of customers has manifested itself primarily
in three areas: (i) the manner in which Handex Environmental obtains its
business and charges for its services; (ii) the use of other contractors to
provide certain services traditionally provided by Handex Environmental; and
(iii) an increasing preference to purchase, rather than lease, remediation
equipment.

<PAGE>


     Over the last four years, the environmental industry has experienced a
significant increase in customer demand for competitive bidding and fixed price
contracts. During 1995 and the first half of 1996, the majority of Handex
Environmental's work was performed under competitively bid unit price or fixed
price contracts. Although management believes a majority of Handex
Environmental's work will continue to be competitively bid, an alliance
negotiated with Amoco Oil Company, its largest client, eliminates the
requirement to competitively bid on Amoco projects. As one of only three
national suppliers of environmental services, Handex Environmental has
designated service regions and,  although required to remain cost competitive,
will not have to expend resources to bid each job with Amoco.
     Overall, management believes that the quality and cost effectiveness of its
services will continue to be an important competitive advantage. Accordingly, in
responding to price competition, Handex7Environmental will continue to maintain
a high level of technical quality in its services.
     A majority of Handex Environmental's major customers now purchase directly,
from other contractors, equipment and certain services, such as laboratory
analyses, which were formerly provided by or through Handex Environmental as
part of its full service approach.  Management believes that this trend will
continue.
     Handex Environmental's quarterly results may fluctuate from period to
period.  Among the principal factors influencing quarterly variations are
weather, which may limit the amount of time Handex Environmental's professional
and technical personnel may spend in the field; the addition of new
professionals who require training and initially bill a lower percentage of
their time; the timing of receipt of discharge and other permits necessary to
install dewatering and recovery systems, and the opening of new offices, which
initially have higher expenses relative to revenues than established offices.
     Through the first quarter of 1995,  Handex Environmental's business in the
state of Florida has been helped considerably by the cost reimbursement program
maintained  through the Florida Inland Protection Trust Fund ("Fund").  The Fund
was revised in the first quarter of 1995  by the Florida legislature and now
requires site prioritization and prior approval of costs by the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection, for reimbursement of cleanup
expenditures.  These revisions, which were intended to assure its economic
integrity, have significantly limited the number and types of environmental
cleanup expenditures which would be reimbursable from the Fund and have
therefore adversely affected Handex Environmental's operating results in Florida
and its overall operating results. Management believes that these revisions will
continue to have an adverse effect on Handex Environmental's operations in
Florida and its overall environmental segment's results. During 1995, Handex
Environmental made a strategic move to partially offset the revenue loss
resulting from the revisions to the Fund, by acquiring certain assets of an
environmental competitor in Florida. The purchase included the rights to service
certain customers of this environmental concern.
EDUCATIONAL BUSINESS SEGMENT
- - ----------------------------
     New Horizons conducts two distinct businesses, one which operates wholly-
owned computer program training centers, and the other which supplies systems of
instruction, and sales and management concepts concerning computer training to
independent franchisees.

<PAGE>

     Revenues for the training centers operated by New Horizons consist
primarily of training fees and fees derived from sales of courseware materials.
Cost of sales consists primarily of instructors' salaries and benefits,
facilities costs such as rent, utilities and classroom equipment, courseware,
and computer hardware, software and peripherals.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses consist primarily of costs associated with sales and
marketing, advertising, accounting and finance support and sales executives.
     Revenues for the franchising operation consist primarily of initial
franchise fees associated with the sale of a franchise, royalty and advertising
fees, based on a percentage of franchisee gross training revenues, and
percentage royalties received on the gross sales of courseware.  Cost of sales
consists primarily of costs associated with franchise support personnel who
provide system guidelines and advice on daily operating issues including sales,
marketing, instructor training and general business problems. Selling, general
and administrative expenses consist primarily of technical support, courseware
                                       8
development, accounting and finance support, national account sales support, and
advertising expenses.

                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                            -----------------------
Results of operations are presented in three sections: consolidated , results of
environmental segment and results of educational segment.

(62.7% of consolidated gross profit, up from 38.3% for 1995).
     As a percentage of consolidated net operating revenues, consolidated  gross
profit increased to 40.1% for the second quarter of 1996 and for the first half
of 1996 declined to 37.3%, from 38.2% and 37.4% respectively, for the same
periods in 1995.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
- - ---------------------------------------------
     Consolidated selling,  general and administrative expenses increased
$1,791,000 or 29.5% for the second quarter of 1996 and for the first half of
1996, increased $3,318,000 or 27.7%, compared with the same periods for 1995. Of
consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses of $7,859,000 for the
second quarter of 1996, Handex Environmental contributed $3,259,000 (41.5% of
consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses, down from 62.3% for
1995) and New Horizons contributed $4,600,000 (58.5% of consolidated selling,
general and administrative expenses, up from 37.7% for 1995).  Of consolidated
selling, general and administrative expenses of $15,292,000 for the first half
of 1996, Handex Environmental contributed $6,966,000  (45.6% of consolidated
selling, general and administrative expenses, down from 63.5% for 1995) and New
Horizons contributed $8,326,000 (54.4% of consolidated selling, general and
administrative expenses, up from 36.5% in 1995).
     As a percentage of consolidated net operating revenues, consolidated
selling, general, and administrative expenses rose to 36.3% for the second
quarter of 1996 and  for the first half of 1996, increased to 36.9%, from 35.5%
and 35.1% respectively, for the same periods for 1995.
INTEREST INCOME/EXPENSE
- - ------------------------
     Consolidated interest expense for the second quarter of 1996 increased to
$74,000 and for the first half of 1996  increased to $128,000, from $26,000 and
$49,000 respectively, for the same periods in 1995.  As a percentage of
consolidated net operating revenues, consolidated interest expense rose to .3%
for both 1996 periods from 0.2% and 0.1% respectively, for the same periods in
1995. The increase in interest expense, both in absolute dollars and as a
percentage of consolidated net operating revenues, was due primarily to New
Horizons' purchases of  equipment under capital lease arrangements.
     Consolidated interest income for the second quarter of 1996 declined to
$91,000 and for the first half of 1996 declined to $190,000, from $185,000 and
$347,000 respectively, for the same periods in 1995. As a percentage of
consolidated net operating revenues, consolidated interest income declined to
 .4% for the second quarter of 1996 and to 0.5% for the first half of  1996, from
1.1% and 1.0% respectively, for the same periods in 1995. The decline in
interest income, both in
<PAGE>
absolute dollars and as a percentage of net operating revenues, was due mainly
to the decline in interest income derived from a receivable financing
arrangement with one of its major customers and lower tax-free interest income
earned as a result of the utilization of cash reserves to satisfy working
capital requirements.
INCOME TAXES
- - -------------
     The provision for income taxes as a percentage of income  before taxes
decreased to 41.8% for the second quarter of 1996 and for the first half of
1996, rose to 81.7%, from 45.3% and    1042.8% respectively for the same periods
in 1995. This was due primarily to certain non-deductible items for income tax
purposes and lower tax-free interest income.
NET INCOME
- - -----------
     Consolidated net income for the second quarter of 1996 increased $155,000
or 46.2% and for the first half of 1996 decreased $563,000 or 92.5%, compared
with the same periods for 1995. Of the consolidated net income of $489,000 for
the second quarter of 1996, Handex Environmental contributed $289,000 (59.0% of
consolidated net income, down from 66.4% for 1995) and New Horizons contributed
$200,000 (41.0% of consolidated net income, up from 33.6% for 1995). Of
consolidated net income of $45,000 for the first half of 1996, Handex
Environmental reported a loss of $639,000 compared with income of $355,000 in
1995; New Horizons reported income of $684,000, up from $254,000 for 1995.
     As a percentage of consolidated net operating revenues, consolidated net
income rose to 2.3% for the second quarter of 1996 and for the first half of
1996, decreased to 0.1% from 1.0% and 1.8% respectively, for the same periods in
1995.
GENERAL
- - --------
     The Company anticipates that the contribution of New Horizons to the
Company's net operating revenues, gross profit and net income will continue to
increase, relative to Handex Environmental.

NET OPERATING REVENUES
- - -----------------------

     Handex Environmental's net operating revenues increased $183,000 or 1.6%
for the second quarter of 1996 and declined $949,000 or 4.1% for the first half
of 1996 compared with similar periods for 1995. For the first half of 1996,
revenues declined primarily due to severe weather conditions in the Northeast
during the first quarter that caused   11work cancellations and postponements
and delays in the transfer of sites from the Amoco Oil Alliance. Handex
Environmental's subsidiaries in Maryland, Florida, North Carolina, Illinois and
Colorado posted increases in net operating revenues ranging from 5.4% to 63.8%
for the second quarter of 1996 and from 3.1% to 60.8% for the first half of
1996. Handex Environmental's subsidiaries in New Jersey, Massachusetts and Ohio
reported decreases in revenues for both periods in 1996.
COST OF NET OPERATING REVENUES
- - ------------------------------
     Handex Environmental's cost of net operating revenues increased $512,000 or
6.9% for the 1996 quarter and increased $1,141,000 or 7.4% for the first half of
1996, compared with the same periods for 1995. As a percentage of its net
operating revenues, cost of net operating revenues increased to 68.6% for the
1996  quarter and increased to 74.2% for the first half of 1996, from 65.2% and
66.3% respectively, for the same periods in 1995.  The increase in the cost of
net operating revenues both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of net
operating revenues was due principally to materials and supplies purchased and
cost of equipment rentals in connection with large industrial projects, combined
with lower net operating revenues for the 1996 periods. In addition, costs of
net operating revenues for the first half of 1996 included unrecoverable cost
overruns on a major landfill project and the cost related to the staff
reductions implemented in the beginning of the second quarter.
GROSS PROFIT
- - -------------
     Handex Environmental's gross profit declined $329,000 or 8.3% for the 1996
quarter and declined $2,090,000 or 26.6% compared to the same periods in 1995.
As a percentage of its net operating revenues, gross profit declined to 31.4%
for the 1996 quarter and to 25.8% for the first half of 1996, from 34.8% and
33.7% respectively for the same periods in 1995.  The decline in gross profit,
both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of net operating revenues reflect
weather-related productivity decreases, increases in materials purchased and
equipment rentals in connection with large industrial projects, unrecoverable
cost overruns on a major landfill project and staff reduction costs.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES BEFORE CORPORATE EXPENSES
- - -----------------------------------------------------------------------
     Handex Environmental's selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased $543,000 or 15.5% for the second quarter of 1996 and decreased
$646,000 or 9.3% for the first half of 1996 compared with the same periods in
1995. As a percentage of net operating revenues, selling, general and
administrative expenses declined to 25.4% for the 1996 quarter and to 28.3% for
the first half of 1996, from 30.6% and 29.9% respectively for the same periods
in 1995. The decline in selling, general and administrative expenses both in
absolute dollars and as a percentage of net operating revenues was due primarily
to staff reductions and cost containment actions implemented beginning in the
third quarter of 1995.

NET OPERATING REVENUES
- - ----------------------

     New Horizons' revenues increased $4,390,000 or 78.3% for the second quarter
of 1996 and $8,347,000 or 77.7% for the first half of 1996 compared with the
same periods for 1995. This was due primarily to improved revenues at company-
owned locations, same store revenue increases and additional franchises added to
the franchising arm of the business. System-wide revenues for the second quarter
rose to $47,000,000 in the second quarter of 1996 from $23,500,000 for the same
period in 1995, and to $88,000,000 for the first half of 1996, from $43,500,000
for the same period in 1995. System-wide revenues include all revenues from both
franchised locations and company-owned training centers.
     Revenues for both periods in 1996  included the results of the Cleveland
training center which the Company began consolidating effective the beginning of
fiscal 1996. During 1995, the Cleveland operations were conducted by a joint
venture in which the company retained a minority interest until the beginning of
1996 when the company assumed full control of the operations. The Cleveland
operations accounted for over 7% of  revenues and 1.0% and 9.5% respectively, of
operating income for both periods in 1996.
COST OF SALES
- - -------------
     New Horizons' cost of sales increased $1,898,000 or 61.7% for the second
quarter of 1996 and increased $3,519,000 or 60.0% for the first half of 1996
compared to the same periods in 1995. As a percentage of revenues, cost of sales
declined to 49.8% for the 1996 quarter and to 49.1% for the first half of 1996,
from 54.9% and 54.6% respectively, for the same periods in 1995. The increase in
costs of sales was due primarily to higher training, courseware and depreciation
expenses and the inclusion of the Cleveland operations.  The decline in cost of
sales as a percentage of revenues was due principally to the higher level of
revenues.

GROSS PROFIT
- - -------------
     New Horizons' gross profit increased $2,492,000 or 98.5% for the second
quarter of 1996 and increased $4,828,000 or 98.9% for the first half of 1996
compared with the same periods for 1995. As a percentage of revenues, gross
profit rose to 50.2% for the 1996 quarter and to 50.9% for the first half of
1996, from 45.1% and  45.4% respectively for the same periods in 1995. The
increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenues was due principally to the
higher level of training and franchising revenues.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE    13EXPENSES BEFORE CORPORATE EXPENSES
- - -----------------------------------------------------------------------
     New Horizons' selling, general and administrative expenses increased
$2,313,000 or 101.1% for the second quarter of 1996 and increased $3,959,000 or
90.7% for the first half of 1996, compared with the same periods for 1995. As a
percentage of revenues, selling, general` and administrative expenses rose to
46.0% for the 1996 quarter and to 43.6% for the first half of 1996 compared with
the same periods for 1995. The increase in selling, general and administrative
expenses, both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of  revenues, was due
principally to increased spending in the areas of sales and marketing, national
advertising, expenses associated with the implementation of a Major Accounts
Program, franchise support for domestic and  international operations and the
inclusion of the Cleveland operations in its operating results.
     As a percentage of  revenues, New Horizons' selling, general and
administrative expenses rose to 43.6% for the first half of 1996 and to 46.0%
for the second quarter of 1996, from 38.9% and 39.1% respectively, for the same
periods in 1995. This was due primarily to increased expenses associated with
its sales and marketing function, national advertising, its Major Accounts
Program and franchise support  for domestic and  international operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- - --------------------------------
     As of June 29, 1996, the Company's working capital was $22,754,000, and its
cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $4,295,000. Working
capital as of June 29, 1996 reflected a decrease of $444,000 from $23,198,000 as
of December 30, 1995. The Company had a negative cash flow from operating
activities primarily due to the reduction in accounts payable and an increase in
current receivables which was partially offset by an increase in accrued
expenses. The Company has negotiated an extension to June 30, 1998 of its
unsecured $5,500,000 credit facility with a commercial bank under substantially
the same terms and conditions prior to the extension. This facility, which the
Company has not used since June 1991, bears interest at either the bank's prime
rate, or LIBOR, whichever the Company elects.
     The full service approach to Handex Environmental's hydrocarbon recovery
business in certain markets  and the recurring capital equipment replacement
program, require Handex Environmental to make capital expenditures for machinery
and equipment and computers. During the first half of 1996, Handex Environmental
spent approximately $579,000 on capital items and anticipates spending up to
$1,100,000 during 1996.
     The nature of New Horizons' business requires substantial cash commitments
for the purchase of computer equipment, software and training facilities. During
the first half of 1996, New Horizons spent approximately $2,600,000 on capital
items and anticipates spending up to $4,200,000 during 1996.
     Management believes that its current working capital position, together
with cash expected to be generated by operations, and its funds available under
its revolving credit facility will provide the liquidity necessary to support
its current and anticipated capital expenditures through the end of 1996.

                     -------------------------------------

The Board of Directors
Handex Corporation
  and Subsidiaries
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Handex Corporation
and subsidiaries as of June 29, 1996, and the related condensed consolidated
statements of income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 29,
1996 and July 1, 1995, and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 29,
1996 and July 1, 1995.  These condensed consolidated financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is
the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for
them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Handex Corporation and subsidiaries
as of December 30, 1995, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented
herein); and in our report dated February 16, 1996, we expressed an unqualified
opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet
as of December 30, 1995, is fairly presented, in all material respects, in
relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
