Part I Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has no material commitments for capital
expenditures, and does not anticipate any material
commitments in the coming year. The operations of the
Company do not require the Company to have significant
additional investments in long-term assets.
The Company had a deficiency in working capital at June 30,
1997 of $324,000, compared to a deficiency at December 31,
1996 of $353,000. This improvement was the result of
operations in the six months. Although working capital
improved in the period, the Company continues to experience
significant strains on its cash flow, and continues to
closely monitor expenditures and to seek additional means of
working capital financing. There can be no assurance that
such efforts will result in additional sources of working
capital, and the Company's operations will continue to be
impacted until working capital can be improved.
In January, 1997, the Company converted $500,000 face amount of
debentures into common stock. This conversion was the
remaining principal amount of $2.1 million sold in 1996 to
improve the Company's financial position.
The Company is pursuing additional actions to improve
liquidity. In July, 1997 the Company decided to cease
having direct operations in Canada and to reach that market
through independent commissioned representatives.
Consequently, the Company will liquidate its Canadian
subsidiary. The Company does not anticipate that this
action will have any material adverse impact on its
operations or financial position, as its investment and
goodwill relating to its Canadian operation was written off
in December, 1995.
Additionally, the Company is entertaining offers for the
purchase of its consulting engineering business and a
portion of its contract operations business. No definitive
agreements have been reached, and there is no assurance that
any such agreements will be consummated.
The Company's business cycle from the initiation of
expenditures on a systems project to the collection of all
outstanding receivables from the project is typically four
to six months, depending on the project. In many instances,
the Company receives deposits and progress payments in order
to reduce its working capital commitment to specific
projects.
A majority of the Company's sales are non-recurring capital
expenditures for its customers; therefore, the Company
cannot usually rely on repeat sales to meet its sales and
cash flow objectives. Additionally, the lead time required
to fulfill customers' requirements are not such that
equipment and systems that will be delivered by the Company
in the current year have been ordered by the end of the
second quarter. The Company cannot therefore predict with
certainty the customers or orders it will receive to sustain
its operations. Nevertheless, the Company's prior
experience causes management to believe that, when added to
the current backlog, sufficient orders will be received in
1997 to maintain the Company's operations.

<PAGE>
Two of the Company's service subsidiaries have a $340,000
working capital loan from Key Bank of Indiana, secured by
their receivables. The Company is amortizing this loan at
$8,000 per month.
The Company does not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable
future. The payment of dividends to the Company by its
subsidiaries is restricted by covenants of certain debt
agreements entered into by these subsidiaries.
Results of Operations
FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
The Company experienced a decline in sales in the first quarter
compared to the same period in the prior year. The factors
contributing to this were the expiration of a $1.2 million
annual contract to operate a sewage treatment plant, client
delays in the initiation of two major contracts (totaling
$3.5 million), and prolonged negotiations on a major
contract award.
In August, 1996, the Company and Parsons Engineering Sciences,
Inc. (Parsons) were selected to design, construct and
operate a major sludge handling facility by the Louisville
and Jefferson County Metropolitan Sewage District (MSD).
Contract finalization was scheduled for January, 1997. Due
to the complexity of the contract and the need for pilot
plant testing, the Company now anticipates that the final
contract will be completed in September, 1997. While
negotiations have continued, interim work contracts for
approximately $1 million have been performed for MSD. Once
initiated, the Company anticipates the design and
construction of the facility will take approximately two
years at a capital cost to MSD of approximately $50 million.
Once completed, the Company and Parsons will operate the
facility for twenty years under an operating contract. The
Company's agreement with Parsons is to divide the work
effort on the project as equally as possible (in line with
the capabilities of the companies), and to share resultant
profits, if any, equally. While the companies and MSD
continue to work toward completion of the necessary
contracts, there can be no assurance that final agreement
will be reached.
Gross margins experienced by the Company during the second
quarter of 1997 were 33% compared to 29% for the same period
in the prior year. This improvement is the result of a
higher percentage of revenues coming from the sale of
services (as opposed to equipment), where margins are
higher. General and administrative expenses decreased by
27% for the second quarter of 1997 compared to the second
quarter of 1996. The decrease in these expenses is the
result of reduced expenses due to centralization of
production capabilities in Louisville, and overall efforts
to reduce costs.

<PAGE>
Depreciation and amortization did not change in the comparable
quarters.
Interest expense for the second quarter of 1997 ($121,000)
increased compared to the same period in 1996 ($93,000)due
to higher average borrowings.
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997.
The Company experienced a decline in sales in the six months
compared to the same period in the prior year. The factors
contributing to this were those cited in the discussion of
the current quarter.
Gross margins experienced by the Company during the six months
of 1997 were 36% compared to 27% for the same period in the
prior year. This improvement is the result of a higher
percentage of revenues coming from the sale of services (as
opposed to equipment), where margins are higher, and to
higher margin jobs in treatment systems. General and
administrative expenses decreased by 15% for the first six
months of 1997 compared to the first six months of 1996 as a
result of the reasons cited for the current quarter
Depreciation and amortization decreased by 2% in the comparable
quarters due to some equipment becoming fully depreciated.
Interest expense for the first six months of 1997 ($248,000)
increased compared to the same period in 1996 ($228,000) due
to higher average borrowings.
The Company's strategy is to develop a full service solutions
oriented wastewater treatment company, both by internal
growth and through acquisition. To date four such
acquisitions have been made. Because the Company does not
have significant investments in plant and equipment, much of
the purchase price paid for the acquisition is recognized as
goodwill. This goodwill is being amortized over 20 years on
a straight line basis, which results in substantial charges
to earnings for which no cash outlay is required. The
Company believes the goodwill recorded from the acquisitions
will be recovered through operations; however, the Company
will continue to evaluate recoverability.
The Company had a backlog of approximately $5.1 million at June
30, 1997 as compared to approximately $6.9 million at June
30, 1996. The backlog is comprised of approximately 35%
representing the treatment business and 65% representing
engineering and management services at both periods. The
treatment business backlog represents firm purchase orders
and proposals accepted by customers for which purchase
orders will not be issued until engineering designs have
been accepted. This backlog is generally shipped within a
four to nine month period following receipt of order.
Approximately 50% of the engineering and management services
backlog will be realized subsequent to 1997. The Company's
backlog as of any particular date may not be indicative of
backlog as of any subsequent date and may vary considerably
from time to time depending upon the volume and size of
orders and changes in delivery schedule. The Company
anticipates that approximately 75% of the total backlog
amounts will be realized during the year ended December 31,
1997.
The Company has not experienced a significant change in price
levels of goods and services during 1997.
The Company does not engage in any currency hedging activities.
It does contract for exports in U.S. or Canadian currencies,
with customers' payment obligations secured by irrevocable
letters of credit.
No statements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards
Board in 1997 are expected to have a material effect on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.
