PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item No. 1 Financial Statements


                     OP-TECH ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC.
    NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)


1.        The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they
do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the
opinion of management, quarterly results include all adjustments (consisting
of only normal recurring adjustments) that the Company considers
necessary for a fair presentation of such information for interim periods.

          The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries.  All material intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

2.        The timing of revenues is dependent of the Company's backlog,
contract awards, and the performance requirements of each contract.  The
Company's revenues are also affected by the timing of its clients planned
remediation work as well as the timing of unplanned emergency spills. 
Historically, planned remediation work generally increases during the third
and fourth quarters.  Although the Company believes that the historical
trend in quarterly revenues for the third and fourth quarters of each year
are generally higher than the first and second quarters, there can be no
assurance that this will occur in future periods.  Accordingly, quarterly or
other interim results should not be considered indicative of results to be
expected for any quarter or for the full year. 

3.  The Company has made a provision for New York State Franchise
income taxes of $367 and $4,796 as of June 30, 1996 and 1995 respectively. 
No provision for federal taxes has been made due to the Company's
available net operating loss carry forwards. 

4.  Currently, the Company's credit facilities are at maximum limits which
raises substantial doubt about its ability to meet cash requirements as well
as continue as a going concern.  Management is addressing this issue very
aggressively and has begun discussions with the bank and affiliated party
regarding forbearance of principal and interest payments as well as an
overall restructuring of the Company's short and long-term debt.  

5.  Effective January 1, 1996 the Company implemented FASB 121
"Accounting for the impairment of Long-Lived Assets" at that time there
were no identified impairments to such assets.  Subsequent to January 1,
1996 and as a result of liquidity issues, the Company has reclassified land,
land improvements, and buildings (the Massena Property) from operating
assets to assets held for sale.  In addition to the Massena Property,
management is in the process of evaluating all operating assets to
determine what is essential to the core business versus what should be
made available for sale.     

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item No. 2
                     Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

                          Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 1996, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $24,610 as
compared to $21,218 at December 31, 1995.

At June 30, 1996, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,525,055
compared to a deficit of $742,556 at December 31, 1995.  The increase in the
working capital deficit is attributable to increased borrowings from short-
term lines of credit from a bank and affiliated party during the second
quarter of 1996.

The Company used cash from operations of $400,975 for the six month
period ended June 30, 1996, compared to cash provided by operations of
$383,827 during the six month period ended June 30, 1995.

The Company has available a collateralized borrowing facility with a bank
that provides for borrowing up to $1,000,000 on a revolving basis due on
May 31, 1997.  Additionally, at June 30, 1996, the Company has an unsecured
line of credit with an affiliated party with maximum borrowings of $750,000
due on March 31, 1997.  Borrowings against the collateralized and unsecured
lines of credit aggregated $968,000 and $740,000 respectively at June 30,
1996.  As of the date of this report, the Company's credit facilities are at
maximum limits.  Management is addressing this issue through discussions
with the bank and the affiliated party relative to forbearance of principal
and interest payments on debt as well as overall debt restructuring (refer
to Footnote #4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements).  In addition, the
Company has committed to the sale of the Massena Property and is
reviewing other assets to be sold as well as additional cost savings (refer to
Footnote #5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements).

The Company has not made the August 1, 1996, principal and interest
payments on two of its long-term obligations to the bank and has not made
interest payments on its unsecured line of credit to the affiliated party for
the month of June and July 1996.  As a result of not making these payments,
the Company stands in default on these obligations and is currently in
discussions with these parties to remedy such default.

Massena Property:

As of June 30, 1996, the Company has reclassified its Massena Property (a
former oil tank farm located on the St. Lawrence River) to assets held for
sale.  The property has a carrying value of approximately $1.9 million as of
June 30, 1996.

Currently, the Company uses the property for its Massena Branch Office
headquarters, equipment storage and its Aqueous Treatment/360 facility.

Management is currently reviewing several options relative to disposing of
the property and is obtaining information on its value.  Due to the
uniqueness of the asset and the absence of quoted market prices on similar
properties, obtaining information on the current value of the property may
take several months.  Upon completion of this process, management will be
in a position to determine what is the most appropriate action as it relates
to the proper valuation of the Massena Property.




                            Results of Operations

Billings:

The Company's project billings and services for the second quarter of 1996
have decreased 15% over the second quarter of 1995.  For the six month
period ended June 30, 1996, the Company's billings have decreased 39%
over the same period in 1995.  The Company's overall decrease in revenues
during 1996 as compared to the same period last year is attributable to
fewer available New York State Environmental projects, a lower volume of
emergency spill response activity, and a general downturn in the
environmental services market.

Project Costs and Gross Profit:

Project Costs for the second quarter of 1996 decreased 10% to $903,829
from $1,007,707 for the same period in 1995.  Project Costs as a percentage
of revenues was 64% and 60% for the three months ended June 30, 1996
and 1995 respectively.  Gross profit margin for the second quarter of 1996
decreased to 36% from 40% for the same period in 1995.

The decrease in the gross profit margin during the second quarter of 1996
is the result of an increasingly competitive environmental services market. 
During the second quarter of 1996, the Company bid jobs at a lower margin
in an effort to maintain as well as increase its market share in the New York
State area.  For the six month period ended June 30, 1996, project costs
decreased 40% from $2,398, 733 to $1,449,991 primarily due to decreased
revenues.  Project costs as a percentage revenues was 63% for the six
month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.  The gross profit margin for
the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 was 37%.  Overall,
despite a lower second quarter gross profit margin, the Company was able
to maintain a consistent gross profit due to a higher than usual 1st quarter
gross profit.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses:

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A) for the three months
ended June 30, 1996, decreased 12% to $615,475 from $699,503 for the same
period in 1995.

The decrease is attributable to a higher utilization of the operations staff
as well as a general reduction of corporate overhead.  For the six month
period ended June 30, 1996, SG&A decreased 5% to $1,266,189 from
$1,334,087 for the same period in 1995.

Net Loss:

The net loss for the three months ended June 30, 1996, was $205,437
compared to a net loss of $128,437 for the same period last year.  For the
six months ended June 30, 1996, the net loss was $582,549 compared to a
net loss of $86,915 for the same period in 1995.
