ITEM 1 (continued) - BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions
to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and
footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position,
results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. However, in the opinion of the
management of Ogden Projects, Inc. (the "Company"), all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for
a fair presentation of the operating results have been included in
the statements.
On September 27, 1994, the Company entered into a merger agreement
(the "Merger Agreement") with Ogden Corporation ("Ogden"), the
owner of 84% of the Company's outstanding common stock. Pursuant
to the Merger Agreement, Ogden will acquire the 16% of the shares
it does not currently own by exchanging with shareholders of the
Company 0.84 of a share of Ogden common stock for each outstanding
share of the Company's common stock. The Company and Ogden expect
the merger to be consummated by the end of 1994 or during the first
quarter of 1995.
Earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by
the weighted average of the number of shares of common stock
outstanding. The weighted average number of shares outstanding
during each period were as follows:

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
Results of Operations:
Income from services (service revenues less operating costs and
debt service charges) in the first nine months of 1994 of $64.9
million increased $11.1 million from the comparable period in 1993.
An increase in income from services associated with the start-up
and full commercial operations of the Union County, New Jersey,
facility, improved performance at certain existing facilities, and
from insurance recoveries was partially offset by costs incurred
for planned outages at the Honolulu, Hawaii, facility and
additional maintenance work at the Detroit, Michigan, facility,
both of whose operations were acquired in 1993 from Asea Brown
Boveri Inc. ("ABB"). Construction profit (construction revenues
less construction costs) of $13.3 million in the first nine months
of 1994 was $2.8 million higher than the first nine months of 1993.
This increase was due primarily to increased construction activity
in the 1994 period at the Montgomery County, Maryland, facility and
additional total profit for the retrofit project at the Detroit
facility, partially offset by reduced activity at the other
facilities under construction during the respective periods.
Service revenues in the first nine months of 1994 were $21.6
million higher than the comparable period in 1993. This increase
was due primarily to the revenues generated from the start-up and
full commercial operations of the Union County facility during the
first nine months of 1994, increased revenues from the facilities
whose operations were acquired in 1993 from ABB (Hartford,
Connecticut; Detroit; and Honolulu facilities), the revenue from
the operation of the transfer station at the Montgomery County
facility, and from securing higher-priced waste streams at certain
other operating facilities.
Construction revenues in the first nine months of 1994 were $10.9
million lower than in the first nine months of 1993. This decrease
was primarily due to reduced construction activity at the Union
County and Lee County, Florida, facilities during the 1994 period,
partially offset by increased activity in the first nine months of
1994 at the Montgomery County facility which broke ground in April
1993. Construction of the Union County facility was completed in
May 1994, while construction of the Montgomery County and Lee
County facilities and the retrofit project at the Detroit facility
is expected to continue into 1995. The Company recognizes profit
on the percentage-of-completion method commencing at the level of
completion at which the total profit is reasonably determinable.
Additional service revenues for the remainder of 1994 as compared
to 1993 are expected from continued commercial operation of the
Union County facility as well as from enhanced performance at
certain facilities currently in operation and marketing efforts to
secure additional higher-priced waste streams. Service revenues in
1995 will be enhanced from the commencement of commercial
operations at the facilities currently under construction and in
future years may be generated from acquisitions and new projects
breaking ground. Although the Company expects a decline in 1995 in
both construction revenue and profit from facilities currently
under construction due to their completion in 1995, additional
construction revenue may be generated from new projects breaking
ground. Although construction starts cannot be predicted with
certainty, the Company continues to work toward a ground breaking
on a municipally-owned facility scheduled to be located in Mercer
County, New Jersey. The project the Company was pursuing in
Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, suffered a setback in July 1994 when the
Minister of the Environment of the provincial government decided
against approving the project. The Company has decided not to
appeal the decision and will seek to recover certain development
costs to which it is contractually entitled. In addition, with the
decline in the number of requests for proposals for new facilities,
the Company's primary source of new business in the past, the
Company is pursuing opportunities for the development of waste-to-
energy facilities for which there are no sponsoring municipalities.
The Company is also pursuing opportunities outside of the waste-to-
energy industry, including independent power production, paperboard
recycling, and wastewater treatment. The Company is currently
pursuing a sale of limited partnership interests and related tax
benefits relating to its Onondaga, New York, facility and expects
the transaction, if successful, to result in income being
recognized in the latter part of 1994 or the early part of 1995.
Operating costs increased $8.5 million in the first nine months of
1994 as compared to the first nine months of 1993. This increase
was principally a result of costs incurred at the Honolulu facility
for its scheduled outage and at the Detroit facility for increased
maintenance work as well as from costs incurred for the operations
of the Union County facility and the transfer station at the
Montgomery County facility, both of which were not in operation
during the 1993 period. This increase was partially offset by
reduced maintenance and repair costs incurred at the Haverhill,
Massachusetts, facilities and amounts recovered from insurance
companies for certain property damage resulting in 1993. Operating
costs included $26.8 million and $26.3 million in the first nine
months of 1994 and 1993, respectively, for depreciation of waste-
to-energy facilities.
Debt service charges increased $2.0 million in the first nine
months of 1994 as compared to the first nine months of 1993. This
increase was due to higher interest rates resulting from the
conversion of one series of adjustable rate project debt to fixed
rates in the fourth quarter of 1993 and higher interest expense
resulting from two interest rate swap agreements entered into in
the second quarter of 1993 as hedges against interest rate exposure
on two other series of adjustable rate project debt. The interest
rate swap agreements resulted in an additional $1.4 million and
$0.9 million of interest expense in the first nine months of 1994
and 1993, respectively.
General and administrative expenses increased $4.3 million in the
first nine months of 1994 as compared to the first nine months of
1993 due primarily to increased marketing efforts, including those
related to opportunities in new industries and international
markets.
Other income in the first nine months of 1994 includes $4.9 million
of interest income from amounts advanced to affiliated companies as
compared to $1.4 million for such interest income during the
comparable period in 1993.
The effective rate of the charge equivalent to income taxes for the
first nine months of 1994 was 39% compared to 49% in the comparable
period in 1993. This decrease in the effective rate is due to the
charge equivalent to income taxes for the 1993 period including a
one-time charge of $4.2 million to adjust deferred tax liabilities
at the beginning of the period to reflect the increase in the
Federal income tax rate enacted in August 1993. The effective rate
in 1994 is also lower due to the additional investment tax credits
generated in the 1994 period from the construction of the Onondaga
facility.
Income from services (service revenues less operating costs and
debt service charges) in the third quarter of 1994 of $22.9 million
increased $4.3 million from the comparable period in 1993. This
increase was due primarily to the commercial operations of the
Union County facility. Construction profit (construction revenues
less construction costs) of $4.9 million in the third quarter of
1994 was $0.7 million lower than the third quarter of 1993 due
primarily to reduced construction activity in the 1994 period at
the Lee County facility.
Service revenues in the third quarter of 1994 were $5.8 million
higher than the comparable period in 1993. This increase was due
primarily to the revenues generated from the commercial operations
of the Union County facility during the third quarter of 1994 and
from securing higher-priced waste streams at certain other
operating facilities.
Construction revenues in the third quarter of 1994 were $22.7
million lower than in the third quarter of 1993. This decrease was
primarily due to reduced construction activity at the Lee County
facility and from no activity in the 1994 period at the Union
County facility since construction was completed in May 1994.
Operating costs increased $1.1 million in the third quarter of 1994
as compared to the third quarter of 1993. This increase was
principally a result of costs incurred for the operation of the
Union County facility, partially offset by reduced maintenance work
at various facilities. Operating costs included $9.0 million and
$8.8 million in the third quarter of 1994 and 1993, respectively,
for depreciation of waste-to-energy facilities.
Debt service charges increased $0.3 million in the third quarter of
1994 as compared to the third quarter of 1993. This increase was
due primarily to higher interest rates resulting from the
conversion of one series of adjustable rate project debt to fixed
rates in the fourth quarter of 1993. The two interest rate swap
agreements that were entered into in the third quarter of 1993
resulted in an additional $0.3 million and $0.6 million of interest
expense in the third quarter of 1994 and 1993, respectively.
General and administrative expenses increased $2.3 million in the
third quarter of 1994 as compared to the third quarter of 1993 due
primarily to increased marketing efforts, including those related
to opportunities in new industries and international markets.
Other income in the third quarter of 1994 includes $2.0 million of
interest income from amounts advanced to affiliated companies as
compared to $0.7 million for such interest income during the
comparable period in 1993.
The effective rate of the charge equivalent to income taxes for the
third quarter of 1994 was 39% compared to 63% in the comparable
period in 1993. This decrease in the effective rate is due to the
charge equivalent to income taxes for the 1993 period including a
one-time charge of $4.5 million to adjust deferred tax liabilities
at the beginning of the period to reflect the increase in the
Federal income tax rate enacted in August 1993. The effective rate
is also lower due to additional investment tax credits generated in
the 1994 period from the construction of the Onondaga facility.
Financial Condition and Capital Resources:
Receivables at September 30, 1994 increased $21.6 million from
December 31, 1993 due primarily to $12.7 million which reflects
amounts recorded for services performed currently which will be
billed by contract at later dates and $8.9 million from timing of
billings and collections.
Restricted funds held in trust decreased by $33.4 million during
the first nine months of 1994 principally as a result of funds
disbursed to cover expenditures for the Onondaga County facility,
partially offset by funds deposited to cover debt service payments.
Other liabilities at September 30, 1994 increased $14.3 million
from December 31, 1993 due primarily to billings in excess of costs
on uncompleted construction contracts and additional retainage on
construction in progress.
At September 30, 1994, capital commitments, exclusive of funds
provided by revenue bonds issued by municipalities and municipal
agencies, amounted to $11.9 million, of which $3.2 million was for
direct equity investments in waste-to-energy facilities and $8.7
million was for normal replacement, modernization, and growth.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In the ordinary course of its business, the Company becomes involved
in federal, state, and local proceedings relating to the laws
regulating the discharge of materials into the environment and the
protection of the environment. These include proceedings for the
issuance, amendment, or renewal of the licenses and permits pursuant
to which the Company operates. Such proceedings also include
actions brought by individuals or local governmental authorities
seeking to overrule governmental decisions on matters relating to
the Company's operations in which the Company may be, but is not
necessarily, a party. Most proceedings brought against the Company
by governmental authorities under these laws relate to alleged
technical violations of regulations, licenses, or permits pursuant
to which the Company operates. At September 30, 1994, the Company
continued to be involved in one such previously reported proceeding
in which the Company believes sanctions involved may exceed
$100,000. The Company believes that such proceeding will not have
a material adverse effect on it or its business.
Item 5. Other Information
On September 27, 1994, the Company, Ogden Corporation ("Ogden"), the
owner of approximately 84% of the Company's outstanding common
stock, and a separate wholly-owned subsidiary of Ogden entered into
a definitive merger agreement (the "Merger Agreement"). The Merger
Agreement is subject to approval by the Company shareholders and
provides, among other things, that the Company shareholders will
receive 0.84 of a share of Ogden common stock for each outstanding
share of Company common stock and that any Company shareholder who
does not vote in favor of the merger agreement will be entitled to
appraisal rights in connection with the merger.
On October 27, 1994, Ogden filed its Form S-4 Registration Statement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which contains a
preliminary version of the Company proxy statement to be mailed to
Company shareholders. The Company and Ogden expect to consummate
the merger by the end of 1994 or during the first quarter of 1995.

NOTE:
Earnings per common share was computed by dividing net income by the weighted average of the number of
shares of common stock outstanding during each period. There were no dividends or other adjustments
to income in computing earnings applicable to common shares.
The incremental shares relating to stock options available for exercise were not included in the
calculation of earnings per common share due to these incremental shares not being considered dilutive
since they result in a reduction in earnings per share of less than three percent.

per share, of the Company ("Company Common Stock"), constituting approximately
84% of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock;
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company, based on the unanimous
recommendation of a special committee of independent directors of the Company
(the "Special Committee"), and the Boards of Directors of Parent and Sub, have
by unanimous votes approved the merger of Sub with and into the Company (the

262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"), to
holders of Company Common Stock who do not vote in favor of the Merger and elect
to demand appraisal;
WHEREAS, the Merger will result in Parent owning 100% of the equity
interest of the Surviving Corporation (as defined below); and
WHEREAS, for federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger
shall qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the

of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended to read as follows: "The name of
the Corporation is OGDEN PROJECTS, INC."
SECTION 2.2 Bylaws. The Bylaws of Sub as in effect immediately prior to the
Effective Time shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.
SECTION 2.3 Board of Directors; Officers.

Corporation, or as otherwise provided by law.
(b) The officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time
shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation and shall serve until

manner provided in the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving
Corporation, or as otherwise provided by law.
ARTICLE III
CONVERSION OF SHARES
SECTION 3.1 Exchange Ratio. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the
Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of Company Common Stock:
(a) All shares of Company Common Stock which are held in the treasury
by the Company or by any subsidiary of the Company, and any shares of
Company Common Stock owned of record by Parent, Sub or any other subsidiary
of Parent, shall be cancelled (the "Cancelled Shares").
(b) Subject to Section 3.4, each then issued and outstanding share of
Company Common Stock (other than the Cancelled Shares and other than shares
of Company Common Stock as to which appraisal rights shall have been duly
demanded ("Dissenting Shares")) shall be converted solely into the right to
receive, upon the surrender of the certificate formerly representing such
share of Company Common Stock (a "Certificate") in accordance with Section
3.2, (i) 0.84 of a share (the "Exchange Ratio") of Common Stock, par value
$.50 per share, of Parent ("Parent Common Stock") and (ii) for each whole
share of Parent Common Stock into which the shares of Company Common Stock
represented by such Certificate are so convertible pursuant to the
immediately preceding clause (i), a right (each a "Right" and collectively,
the "Rights") issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement, dated as of
September 20, 1990, between Parent and Chemical Bank (formerly
Manufacturers Hanover Trust Company), as agent (the "Rights Agreement").
(c) Each then issued and outstanding share of Common Stock, par value
$.50 per share, of Sub ("Sub Common Stock") shall be converted into one
share of Common Stock, par value $.50 per share, of the Surviving
Corporation.

<PAGE>
(d) Each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock ("Company
Stock Options") which is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Time pursuant to the Company's 1989 Employees' Stock Option Plan (the
"Stock Option Plan") shall be converted into the right to
receive (subject to any required action by stockholders), at no additional
cost to the individual holding such option, in lieu of the number of shares
of Company Common Stock then subject to such option, a number of shares of
Parent Common Stock and Rights which such individual would have been
entitled to receive pursuant to this Agreement if at the Effective Time
such individual had been a holder of record of a number of shares of
Company Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock
then subject to such option ("Parent Stock Options"). Each Parent Stock
Option and the obligation to issue shares of Parent Common Stock upon
exercise of Parent Stock Options shall be assumed by Parent effective as of
the Effective Time. Fractional shares shall not be issued upon the exercise
of Parent Stock Options. Each Parent Stock Option shall otherwise be
exercisable upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in the option
agreement respecting the Company Stock Option converted into such Parent
Stock Option. Such terms and conditions shall include a per share option
price that reflects the foregoing. As promptly as practicable after the
Effective Time, Parent shall prepare and file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, and cause to become effective under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, a registration statement on Form S-8 with respect to
any Parent Stock Options issued pursuant to this paragraph.
(e) The holders of Dissenting Shares, if any, shall be entitled to
payment by the Surviving Corporation of the appraised value of such shares
to the extent permitted by and in accordance with the provisions of the
Appraisal Rights Amendment and Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however,
that (i) if any holder of the Dissenting Shares shall, under the
circumstances permitted by the DGCL, subsequently deliver a written
withdrawal of his demand for appraisal of such shares, or (ii) if any
holder fails to establish his entitlement to rights to payment as provided
in such Section 262, or (iii) if neither any holder of Dissenting Shares
nor the Surviving Corporation has filed a petition demanding a
determination of the value of all Dissenting Shares within the time
provided in such Section 262, such holder or holders (as the case may be)
shall forfeit such right to payment for such shares and such shares shall
thereupon be deemed to have been converted into Parent Common Stock
pursuant to Section 3.1(b) hereof as of the Effective Time. The Surviving
Corporation shall be solely responsible for, and shall pay out of its own
funds, any amounts which become due and payable to holders of Dissenting
Shares. Such amounts shall not be paid directly or indirectly by Parent.
SECTION 3.2 Exchange of Shares; Responsibility for Payments. Prior to the
Effective Time, Parent shall authorize Chemical Bank, or such other bank or
trust company having a place of business in New York City and that is reasonably
acceptable to the Company, to act as Exchange Agent hereunder (the "Exchange
Agent"). As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent
shall mail and make available to each record holder of a Certificate or
Certificates a notice and letter of transmittal in customary form advising such
holder of the effectiveness of the Merger and the procedure for surrendering to
the Exchange Agent such Certificate or Certificates for exchange pursuant to
this Agreement. Upon the surrender to the Exchange Agent of such Certificate or
Certificates, together with such letter of transmittal duly executed and
6<PAGE>
completed in accordance with the instructions thereon, the Exchange Agent shall
promptly cause to be delivered to such holder, and each holder of a Certificate
will be entitled to receive, certificates representing the number of shares
(rounded down to the nearest whole number) of Parent Common Stock into which the
shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate were converted in
the Merger (and representing an equal number of Rights) and a check payable to
such holder representing the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares of
Parent Common Stock, if any, determined in accordance with Section 3.4, to which
such holder is entitled. Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be
cancelled. Parent Common Stock into which Company Common Stock shall be
converted in the Merger shall be deemed to have been issued at the Effective
Time.
SECTION 3.3 Dividends; Transfer Taxes. No dividends or distributions that
are declared or made on Parent Common Stock after the Effective Time with a
record date after the Effective Time will be paid to persons entitled to receive
certificates representing Parent Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement until
such persons surrender their Certificates representing Company Common Stock.

certificates representing such Parent Common Stock shall be issued, any
dividends or distributions which shall have become payable with respect to such
Parent Common Stock between the Effective Time and the time of such surrender.
In no event shall the person entitled to receive such dividends or distributions
be entitled to receive interest thereon. In the event that any certificates for
any shares of Parent Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than that in

the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable.

fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for
exchange of Certificates representing Company Common Stock pursuant to this

fractional interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any
rights of a security holder of Parent. In lieu of any such fractional shares,
each holder of Company Common Stock who would otherwise have been entitled to a
fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock upon surrender of Certificates for
exchange pursuant to this Article III shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation
an amount in cash (without interest) upon such surrender equal to such fraction
multiplied by the closing sale price of Parent Common Stock as reported in the

transfer of shares of Company Common Stock shall be made thereafter. If, after
the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation,
they shall be cancelled and exchanged for certificates representing Parent

financial condition or results of operations of Parent and its subsidiaries
taken as a whole (a "Parent Material Adverse Effect").

contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and

and Sub, enforceable against Parent and Sub in accordance with its terms (except

there is no suit, action, claim or proceeding pending against Parent or any of

knowledge, there is no other suit, action, claim or proceeding threatened in
writing which, in the reasonable judgment of Parent, presents a reasonable
possibility of having a Parent Material Adverse Effect and (ii) neither Parent

any property or assets of any of them, is subject to any order, judgment,
injunction or decree that has had or is reasonably likely to have a Parent

its investment banker, Goldman, Sachs & Co., no broker, finder or investment
banker is entitled to any brokerage, finder's or other fee or commission in

based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Parent or Sub.
SECTION 4.11 Reorganization. To the best knowledge of Parent, neither
Parent nor Sub has knowingly taken any action or failed to take any action,
which action or failure to take action would jeopardize the qualification of the
Merger as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.
10<PAGE>
SECTION 4.12 Compliance with Law. Parent and each of its subsidiaries
(other than the Company and its subsidiaries) has in the past duly complied, and
is presently complying, with all applicable laws (whether statutory or
otherwise), rules, regulations, orders, ordinances, judgments or decrees of all
governmental authorities (federal, state, local, foreign or otherwise),

has received any notifications of any asserted present or past failure by it,
with respect to their businesses, to comply with any of such Laws, except any
notifications which would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Parent
Material Adverse Effect.

of the holders of Company Common Stock (the "Meeting") for the purpose of voting
to approve and adopt this Agreement. The Board of Directors of the Company,
subject to their fiduciary duties under Delaware law as advised by counsel, will

"Affiliates").
(b) The Company shall use its best efforts to obtain a written agreement
from each person who is identified as a possible Affiliate in the letter
referred to in Section 8.4(a) above, in the form previously approved by the

shares of Parent Common Stock issued to him or her pursuant to the Merger,
except pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance with
Rule 145 or another exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act. The Company shall deliver all such written agreements to Parent
at or prior to the Effective Time. The Company agrees that, with respect to any
Affiliate for whom such a letter is not delivered to Parent in timely fashion,

and may place an appropriate restrictive legend on the certificates representing
shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued to such Affiliate pursuant to the
Merger.

rights to indemnification, advancement of litigation expenses and limitation of
personal liability existing in favor of the directors and officers of the
Company (the "Indemnified Parties") under the provisions existing on the date

respect to any matter existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time
(including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), survive the

use their best efforts to agree upon the text of any such press release or
public announcement prior to the publication of such press release or the making
of such public announcement, unless such consultation or agreement is not
practicable in light of the timing of any disclosure requirements imposed by
applicable law or any listing agreement with the NYSE.
SECTION 8.9 Additional Agreements. Subject to the terms and conditions
herein provided, each of the parties hereto agrees to use all reasonable efforts
to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all
things necessary, proper or advisable (including under applicable laws and
