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

                                  JUNE 30, 2000

     Unless the context requires otherwise, "we", "us" or "our" refers to
Stericycle, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

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 the disclosures in the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are adequate to make
the information presented not misleading. In our opinion, 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 year ended December 31, 1999, as filed with
our 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the six-month
period ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be achieved for the entire year ending December 31, 2000.

NOTE 2--ACQUISITIONS

    There were no material acquisitions during the quarter ended June 30, 2000.

NOTE 3--STOCK OPTIONS

     During the quarter ended June 30, 2000, options to purchase 290,000 shares
of common stock were granted to employees under our 2000 Stock Option Plan.
These options vest ratably over a five year period and have an average exercise
price of approximately $20.50 per share. Our 2000 Stock Option Plan, which
authorizes the grant of options for a total of 500,000 shares of common stock,
was approved by our Board of Directors in February 2000. In addition, options to
purchase 136,000 shares of common stock were granted to key employees under our
1995 Stock Option Plan. These options vest ratably over periods of up to four
years and have an average exercise price of $20.25 per share. Options to
purchase 36,000 shares of common stock were also granted to our outside
directors under our 1996 Directors Stock Option Plan. These options have an
average exercise price of $22.50 per share.

NOTE 4--STOCK ISSUANCES

     During the quarter ending June 30, 2000, options to purchase 43,641 shares
of common stock were exercised at prices ranging from $.53-$17.25 per share. In
addition, warrants with rights to purchase 18,946 shares of common stock were
exercised at a prices ranging from $7.96-$16.09 per share.

NOTE 5--INCOME TAXES

     At June 30, 2000, we had net operating loss carry forwards for federal
income tax purposes of approximately $13,000,000 (excluding 3CI) which expire
beginning in 2006. During the fourth quarter of 1999, we reevaluated the
estimated amount of the valuation allowance required. As a result, we reduced
the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS No. 109), to an amount that we believe is
more likely than not of being recovered.

NOTE 6--SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     On August 3, 2000, we announced the formation of a joint venture to service
the medical waste market in South Africa using our patented Electro-Thermal
Deactivation technology. The joint venture company will be headquartered in
Johannesburg, South Africa. Our partner in the joint venture is Evertrade
Infection Control Solutions (Pty) Ltd. We will have a 26.5% equity ownership in
the joint venture.

     On August 9, 2000, we announced that we had concluded an agreement with the
Econovation Group of ASO for the first application of our patented
Electro-Thermal Deactivation technology and its associated plastics recycling
and material reuse technologies in the Kyushu area of Japan.

NOTE 7--CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION


Payments under the Company's senior subordinated notes (the "Notes") are
unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by all of the Company's
wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, which include Environmental Control Company,
Inc., acquired in May 1997, Waste Systems, Inc., acquired October 1, 1998,
Med-Tech Environmental, Inc., acquired December 31, 1998, BFI Medical Waste,
Inc. and Browning-Ferris Industries of Connecticut, Inc., both acquired on
November 12, 1999, and certain other subsidiaries which have insignificant
assets and operations (collectively, the "Guarantors"). Financial information
concerning the Guarantors as of June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 and for the
three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 is presented below for
purposes of complying with the reporting requirements of the Guarantor. The
financial information concerning the Guarantors is being presented through
condensed consolidating financial statements since the Company has more than
minimal independent operations and the guarantees are full and unconditional and
are joint and several. Because of commingled operations, however, management is
required to allocate particular items between Stericycle, Inc. and the
Guarantors in the process of preparing the following condensed consolidating
financial statements. These allocations have no effect on the combined results
for Stericycle, Inc. and the Guarantors. Financial statements for the individual
Guarantors have not been presented because management does not believe that such
financial statements are material to investors.

     Revenues. Revenues increased $54,538,000, or 218%, to $79,557,000 during
the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $25,019,000 during the comparable
period in 1999 as a result of the acquisition of the medical waste business of
Browning-Ferris Industries, Inc. (the "BFI acquisition"), which we completed in
November 1999 and as we continued to implement our strategy of focusing on sales
to higher-margin accounts with small account customers. International equipment
revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2000 were $624,000. During the
three months ended June 30, 2000, acquisitions contributed approximately
$53,000,000 to the increase in revenues as compared to the prior year. For the
quarter, our base internal revenue growth for small account customers increased
approximately 17% while revenues from large account customers also increased by
more than 5%.

     Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues increased $31,782,000 to $48,261,000
during the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $16,479,000 during the
comparable period in 1999. The increase was primarily due to the substantial
increase in revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the
same period in 1999. The gross margin percentage increased to 39.3% during the
three months ended June 30, 2000 from 34.1% during the same period in 1999 as a
result of the further integration of the BFI acquisition and synergy savings.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased to $14,726,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2000 from $5,186,000 for the comparable period in 1999. The increase was
largely the result of increases in selling and marketing expenses as a result of
the BFI acquisition, higher amortization of goodwill, expansion of our sales
network, and increased administrative costs related to the higher volume.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of revenues decreased
to 18.5% during the three months ended June 30, 2000 from 20.7% during the
comparable period in 1999. Excluding amortization, selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percent of revenue decreased to 14.3% during the
three months ended June 30, 2000 from 18.3% during the comparable period in
1999.

     Acquisition related costs. During the three months ended June 30, 2000, we
incurred acquisition related costs of $1,407,000 related to the integration of
the BFI acquisition.

     EBITDA. Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization (`EBITDA') before the acquisition related costs increased by
329.0% to $22,259,000 or 28.0% of revenue for the three months ended June 30,
2000 as compared to $5,189,000 or 20.7% of revenue for the comparable period in
1999. The increase in EBITDA is primarily due to the factors described above.

     Interest Expense and Interest Income. Interest expense increased to
$9,955,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $172,000 during the
comparable period in 1999 primarily due to increased interest expense related to
borrowings associated with the BFI acquisition. Interest income decreased to
$112,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $195,000 during the
comparable period in 1999 primarily due to lower cash balances.


     Income Tax Expense. Income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2000
reflects an effective tax rate of approximately 40% for federal and state income
taxes.

         Revenues. Revenues increased $108,338,000, or 221.6%, to $157,225,000
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $48,887,000 during the comparable
period in 1999 as a result of the acquisition of the medical waste business of
Browning-Ferris Industries, Inc. and as we continued to implement our strategy
of focusing on sales to higher-margin accounts with small account customers.
During the six months ended June 30, 2000, acquisitions made during the last 12
months contributed approximately $105,000,000 to the increase in revenues as
compared to the prior year. International sales of machinery were $1,026,000
during the six months ended June 30, 2000.

         Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues increased $63,278,000 or 195.7%, to
$95,618,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $32,340,000 during
the comparable period in 1999. This increase was primarily due to the
substantial increase in revenues during 2000 compared to the same period in
1999. The gross margin percentage increased to 39.2% during the six months ended
June 30, 2000 from 33.8% during the comparable period in 1999 as a result of the
further integration of the BFI acquisition and synergy savings.

administrative expenses increased to $29,210,000 for the six months ended June
30, 2000 from $10,270,000 for the comparable period in 1999. The increase was

network, and



                                       14

increased administrative costs related to the higher volume. Selling, general
and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 18.6%
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 from 21.0% during the comparable
period in 1999. Excluding amortization, selling, general and administrative
expenses as a percent of revenue decreased to 14.3% during the six months ended
June 30, 2000 from 18.6% during the comparable period in 1999.

     Acquisition related costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2000, we
incurred acquisition related costs of $1,407,000 related to the integration of
the BFI acquisition.

     EBITDA. Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization (`EBITDA') before acquisition related costs increased by 330.7%
to $43,981,000 or 28.0% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2000 as
compared to $10,211,000 or 20.9% of revenues for the comparable period in 1999.
The increase in EBITDA is primarily due to the factors described above.


     Interest Expense and Interest Income. Interest expense increased to
$19,810,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2000, from $535,000 during the
comparable period in 1999, primarily due to increased interest expense related
to borrowings associated with the BFI acquisition. Interest income also
increased to $308,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2000, from $272,000
during the comparable period in 1999 due to higher cash balances throughout the
six months versus the prior year.

     Other Income and Expense. Other expense of $28,000 was reported during the
six months ended June 30, 2000 versus other income of $389,000 reported during
the comparable period in 1999. During the six months ended June 30, 1999 a
one-time gain of $656,000 on the sale of routes by 3CI Complete Compliance
Corporation of which Waste Systems Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of
Stericycle) is majority shareholder, was partially offset by a one-time non-cash
expense of $192,000 for warrants issued with bridge loan borrowings in December
1998 and January 1999.

     Income Tax Expense. Income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2000
reflects an effective tax rate of approximately 40% for federal and state income
taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


     At June 30, 2000, our working capital was $38,362,000 compared to working
capital of $26,858,000 at December 31, 1999. The increase in working capital is
primarily due to higher accounts receivable balances due to the BFI acquisition.
We have available a $50,000,000 revolving line of credit secured by our accounts
receivable and all of our other assets. At June 30, 2000 we had $6,700,000 in
borrowings under this line.

     Net cash used in operating activities was $646,000 during the six months
ended June 30, 2000 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of
$2,796,000 for the comparable period in 1999. This decrease primarily reflects
higher accounts receivable and lower accounts payable and accrued liabilities
partially offset by higher net income, depreciation and amortization expense.
The changes to accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities
resulted primarily from a payment during the quarter ended June 30, 2000 of
$12,000,000 made to Allied Waste Industries, Inc. for a working capital
settlement in accordance with the BFI acquisition purchase agreement. In
addition, the decrease in accrued liabilities was also impacted by a semi annual
interest payment of approximately $7,900,000 on our senior subordinated notes
made during the quarter ended June 30, 2000.


                                       15
<PAGE>   18


     Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30,
2000 was $4,937,000 compared to $8,706,000 for the comparable period in 1999.
The change is primarily attributable to the decrease in acquisitions completed
in 2000. Capital expenditures were $3,550,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2000 compared to $1,879,000 for the same period in 1999.

     Net cash used in financing activities was $9,148,000 during the six months
ended June 30, 2000 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of
$24,189,000 for the comparable period in 1999. The difference between the two
periods results primarily from the completion of our second public offering of
common stock, which raised $47,158,000 net of offering costs, partially offset
by the repayment of $23,101,000 in debt in the first half of 1999. During the
first six months of 2000 we made repayments of $16,094,000 in debt which
consisted of approximately $3,200,000 in scheduled repayments and $12,900,000 in
prepayments.
