                           STERICYCLE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been 
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange 
Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in 
annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with 
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted 
pursuant to such rules and regulations; but the Company believes that the 
disclosures in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements 
are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion 
of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation for the 
periods presented have been reflected and are of a normal recurring nature. 
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in 
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for 
the three years ended December 31, 1996. The results of operations for the 
six months period ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the 
results that may be achieved for the entire year ending December 31, 1997.

NOTE 2.   NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 
Statement No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which is required to be adopted on 
December 31, 1997.  At that time, the Company will be required to change the 
method currently used to compute net income (loss) per common share, and to 
restate all prior periods.  Under the new requirements for calculating 
primary net income (loss) per common share, the dilutive effect of stock 
options will be excluded. The impact of Statement No. 128 on the calculation 
of primary and fully diluted net income (loss) per common share for the 
six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 is not expected to be material.

NOTE 3.   ACQUISITIONS

     In May 1997, the Company announced the acquisition of Environmental 
Control Co., Inc. ("ECCO"), one of the leading medical waste companies in the 
New York City market. The Company paid $4.2 million in cash, issued 125,000 
shares of stock, assumed debt on vehicles and issued a 10-year promissory 
note for the balance of the purchase price. The ECCO purchase price is 
subject to downward adjustments to reflect uncollectible acquired accounts 
receivable, additional outstanding obligations not reflected in the purchase 
price at closing, and the extent to which ECCO's revenues during the one-year 
period following closing are less than a specified amount. The transaction 
was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The results of 
operations of the acquired business are included in the condensed 
consolidated statements of operations from the date of acquisition.

     During the quarter ended June 30, 1997, adjustments were made to the 
value of  vehicles purchased and the purchase price in connection with the 
December 1996 acquisition of the major portion of the medical waste business 
of Waste Management, Inc ("WMI"). The purchase price was decreased by  
$756,000 as 

<PAGE>

specified in the agreement, and the goodwill and note payable were adjusted 
accordingly. The Company finalized its estimate of the value of vehicles 
purchased and reduced its March 31, 1997 estimate of $1,200,000 to $899,000. 
The related note payable was adjusted accordingly.

     In June 1997, the Company purchased the customer list and certain other 
assets of the WMI's regulated medical waste business in Wisconsin ("WMX-WI"). 
In July 1997, the Company announced the purchase of the customer lists and 
certain other assets of  the regulated medical waste business of  Regional 
Carting, Inc. and  Rumpke Container Service, Inc., in New Jersey and Ohio, 
respectively. Combined annual revenues are estimated to be $2,300,000 for 
these three companies. The purchase price for these three acquisitions was 
comprised of a combination of cash, promissory notes and shares of common 
stock of the Company.

NOTE 4.   STOCK OPTIONS

     During the quarter ended June 30, 1997, options to purchase common stock 
totaling 100,500 shares were granted to key employees. These options will 
vest ratably over a five year period and have an exercise price of $8.00 per 
share. The grant of options was made under the Company's 1997 Stock Option 
Plan, which authorized the grant of options for a total of 1,500,000 shares 
of the Company's common stock. The 1997 Stock Option Plan was approved by the 
Company's stockholders in April 1997.

NOTE 5.   STOCK ISSUANCES

     During the quarter ended June 30, 1997, options to purchase 30,254 
shares of common stock were exercised at a price of $0.53 per share, and the 
Company issued 275,000 shares of common stock in connection with certain 
acquisitions.

NOTE 6.   INCOME TAXES

     The Company has generated historical net operating losses for income tax 
purposes. Any benefit resulting from these net operating losses has been 
offset by a valuation allowance. As the Company generates future taxable 
income, it expects to incur alternative minimum taxes and income taxes in 
states where the Company has no offsetting net operating losses.

                         PART I -- FINANCIAL INFORMATION


ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


     The Company provides regulated medical waste collection, transportation, 
treatment, disposal, reduction, reuse and recycling services to its 
customers, together with related training and education programs and 
consulting services. The Company also sells ancillary supplies and in 
selected geographic service areas transports pharmaceuticals, photographic 
chemicals, lead foil and amalgam for recycling.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

     REVENUES.  Revenues increased $4,898,000, or 81.1%, to $10,937,000 
during the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $6,039,000 during the 
comparable period in 1996 as the Company continued to implement its strategy 
of focusing on sales to higher-margin alternate care generators while 
simultaneously paring certain higher-revenue but lower-margin accounts with 
core generators. This increase also reflects the inclusion of approximately 
$4.6 million in revenues from the Environmental Control Company, Inc. 
("ECCO") acquisition, which was completed in May 1997, the acquisition of the 
major portion of the regulated medical waste business of Waste Management, 
Inc. ("WMI"), which was completed in December 1996, and the acquisition of 
WMI's regulated medical waste management business in Wisconsin ("WMI-WI"), 
which was completed in June 1997.

     COST OF REVENUES.  Cost of revenues increased $3,343,000, or 68.9%, to 
$8,195,000 during the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $4,852,000 during 
the comparable period in 1996. The principal reasons for the increase was the 
higher processing and transportation costs as a result of the ECCO, WMI and 
WMI-WI acquisitions. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues decreased 
to 74.9% during the three months ended June 30, 1997 from 80.3% during the 
comparable period in 1996 due to further integration of the new acquisitions 
and productivity improvements.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Selling, general and 
administrative expenses increased to $2,636,000 for the three months ended 
June 30, 1997 as compared to $1,811,000 for the comparable period in 1996 due 
to the WMI and ECCO acquisitions and the continued strengthening of the 
Company's sales and administrative organizations.  Selling, general and 
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 24.1% during 
the three months ended June 30, 1997 from 30.0% during the comparable period 
in 1996 primarily due to the improved use of existing resources to support 
the WMI acquisition.

     INTEREST EXPENSE AND INTEREST INCOME.   Interest expense decreased to
$92,000 




<PAGE>

during the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $123,000 during the 
comparable period in 1996 primarily due to the adjustment in the note payable 
associated with the WMI acquisition and lower loan balances outstanding and 
lower interest rates.   Interest income increased to $171,000 during the 
three months ended June 30, 1997 primarily due to the investment of the 
proceeds from the Company's initial public offering ("IPO") in August 1996.

     INCOME TAX EXPENSE.  The effective tax rate of 2.7% for the three months 
ended June 30, 1997 reflects the utilization of the Company's net operating 
losses for income tax purposes, offset by alternative minimum taxes, and 
state income taxes in states where the Company has no offsetting net 
operating losses.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

     REVENUES.  Revenues increased $9,200,000, or 79.2%, to $20,816,000 
during the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $11,616,000 during the 
comparable period in 1996 as the Company continued to focus on sales to 
higher-margin alternate care generators. This increase also reflects $8.7 
million of revenues from the inclusion of the WMI, ECCO and WMI-WI 
acquisitions and two smaller acquisitions completed in May 1996.

     COST OF REVENUES.  Cost of revenues increased $6,917,000, or 75.3%, to 
$16,106,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $9,189,000 during 
the comparable period in 1996. The principal reasons for the increase were 
higher processing and transportation costs as a result of the WMI and ECCO 
acquisitions.  Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues decreased to 
77.4% during the six months ended June 30, 1997 from 79.1% during the 
comparable period in 1996.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.   Selling, general and 
administrative expenses increased to $4,603,000 for the six months ended June 
30, 1997 as compared to $3,315,000 for the comparable period in 1996. 
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues 
decreased to 22.1% during the six months ended June 30, 1997 from 28.5% 
during the comparable period in 1996, primarily due to the improved use of 
existing resources to support the WMI acquisition.

     INTEREST EXPENSE AND INTEREST INCOME.  Interest expense increased to 
$216,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $206,000 during the 
comparable period in 1996. This increase was primarily attributable to notes 
payable issued in connection with the WMI and ECCO acquisitions. Interest 
income increased to $398,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1997 from a 
negligible amount during the comparable period in 1996, primarily due to the 
investment of the proceeds from the Company's IPO in August 1996.

     INCOME TAX EXPENSE.  The effective tax rate of 2.4% for the six months 
ended June 30, 1997 reflects the utilization of the Company's net operating 
losses for income tax purposes, offset by alternative minimum taxes, and 
state income taxes in states where the Company has no offsetting net 
operating losses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company has been financed principally through the sale of stock to 
investors. Prior to the Company's IPO, purchasers of stock invested more than 
$50,137,000 in capital which has been used to fund research and development, 
acquisitions, capital expenditures, ongoing operating losses and working 
capital requirements. The Company's IPO in August 1996 raised $31,050,000, 
excluding 



<PAGE>

offering costs, which has been used primarily to fund acquisitions. The 
Company has also been able to secure plant and equipment leasing or financing 
in connection with some of its facilities. These debt facilities are secured 
by security interests in the financed assets. In addition, the Company has 
available through October 31, 1997 a $2,500,000 revolving line of credit 
secured by accounts receivable and a secured interest in all other assets of 
the Company.

     At June 30, 1997, the Company's working capital was $10,160,000 compared 
to a working capital deficiency of $(3,032,000) at June 30, 1996. The 
improvement is primarily due to higher cash balances and receivables 
partially offset by higher accrued liabilities as compared to the prior year.

     Capital expenditures were $702,000 for the six months ended June 30, 
1997, compared to $235,000 for the same period in 1996. The Company did not 
open any new treatment facilities during 1996 or 1997. The Company may decide 
to build additional treatment facilities or to increase capacity in its 
existing treatment facilities, which would require additional capital 
expenditures. In addition, capital requirements for transportation equipment 
will continue to increase as the Company grows. The amount and level of these 
expenditures cannot currently be determined as they will depend upon the 
nature and extent of the Company's growth and acquisition opportunities. The 
Company currently believes that its cash, cash equivalents and short-term 
investments and cash flow from operations will fund its working capital and 
capital expenditure requirements through 1997.

     Net cash used in operations increased to $380,000 during the six months 
ended June 30, 1997 from $275,000 for the comparable period in 1996. The 
increased cash usage primarily reflects an increase in accounts receivable 
due to the integration of customers acquired in the WMI and ECCO 
acquisitions, offset by the Company's improved profitability.

     Net cash used in investing activities increased to $1,821,000 for the 
six months ended June 30, 1997 from $1,303,000 for the comparable period in 
1996. The increase is primarily attributable to the ECCO acquisition, which 
has been offset by a net reduction in short-term investments.

     Net cash used in financing activities was $964,000 during the six months 
ended June 30, 1997.  Net cash provided by financing activities was 
$1,480,000 for the comparable period in 1996. In 1996, the Company generated 
proceeds from borrowings on the Company's revolving line of credit, a bridge 
loan from certain shareholders, directors and officers, and the exercise of 
stock options. In 1997, the Company paid off $661,000 of notes payable 
assumed in the ECCO acquisition.
