                        VIROGROUP, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  MAY 31, 1996
                                   (UNAUDITED)


(1)        Basis of Presentation

The  consolidated  balance  sheet as of August 31, 1995,  which has been derived
from  audited  statements,  and the  unaudited  interim  consolidated  financial
statements  included  herein,  have  been  prepared  pursuant  to the  rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange  Commission.  Certain information and
note disclosures  normally included in annual financial  statements  prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to those rules and  regulations,  although the Company believes
that the  disclosures  made are adequate to make the  information  presented not
misleading.

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements  contain  all  adjustments   (consisting  of  only  normal  recurring
accruals)  necessary to present fairly the financial  position of the Company as
of May 31,  1996 and August 31,  1995,  and the  results of  operations  for the
three-month  and nine-month  periods ended May 31, 1996 and 1995, and cash flows
for the  nine-month  periods ended May 31, 1996 and 1995.  Results of operations
for the nine-month  period ended May 31, 1996 are not necessarily  indicative of
the results to be expected for the year ending August 31, 1996.

The accounting  policies followed for quarterly financial reporting purposes are
the  same as those  disclosed  in the  Company's  audited  financial  statements
contained in its Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 1995,
as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(2)        Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is  calculated  by dividing net income  attributed  to common
shareholders  (net income less  preferred  stock  dividends of $0 and  $140,000,
respectively,  per quarter for the three and nine months  ended May 31, 1996 and
1995)  by the  weighted  average  number  of  common  shares  and  common  share
equivalents  outstanding  during  the  periods.  Common  share  equivalents  are
calculated  using the  "treasury  stock method" and include the number of shares
issuable on exercise of  outstanding  options and warrants (only if the exercise
prices are below the average quoted market prices of the Company's common stock)
less the number of shares that could have been  purchased with the proceeds from
the exercise of options and warrants,  based on the average  quoted market price
of the Company's common stock during the periods.  Common share  equivalents are
not  considered  for periods in which there is a loss,  as their impact would be
antidilutive. Primary and fully diluted earnings per share are the same for all





                                     7 of 15

periods presented.

(3)        Long-Term Receivables

In May,  1996 the  Governor  of the  State  of  Florida  signed a new law  which
essentially  codified  his  actions  of  March,  1995  to  curtail  the  Florida
Underground  Storage Tank Program.  The 1996 law  incorporates the provisions of
the 1995 action  including the priority  ranking  system which limits state work
authorizations  and payments to priority sites as funds are currently  available
which are estimated to be approximately $60 million annually.  In addition,  the
new law  included  a new  provision  creating  an  agency to  finance  the state
estimated unfunded backlog of $450 millon. This agency is charged with financing
the backlog by selling notes.

In exchange for the  anticipated  quicker payment made possible by this expected
financing,  the law  mandated  the amounts to be paid be  discounted  by 3.5-9%,
depending upon available funds and application filing dates.

The  Company  currently   estimates  that  its  previously  recorded  discounts,
approximately  $725,000,  relating to these long-term receivables are sufficient
to provide for the estimated  state  mandated  discounts.  However,  due to this
change,  the  Company  will  not be  accreting  the  state  mandated  discounts,
approximately  $100,000-$300,000,  to interest  income over the next two to five
fiscal years as previously disclosed.

(4)        Restructuring Charge

Primarily  due to the May,  1996 law  enacted  relating  to Florida  UST Program
(Reference is made to Note (3),  Long-Term  Receivables) and a continued decline
in forecasted  landfill design work, as well as general market  conditions,  the
Company in May, 1996 implemented the final phase of its restructuring program.

Pursuant to this program, in May, the Company closed under-performing offices in
Bakersfield, California, New Orleans, Louisiana and Miami, Florida and downsized
its staff by 38. These actions  resulted in a one-time  restructuring  charge to
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses totaling $307,000 which was charged
to third quarter  operations.  Of this $307,000,  approximately  $195,000 is for
severance pay while  $102,000 is primarily  for lease  expenses as well as other
associated expenses of the closed offices. When this amount is combined with the
balance  remaining from the April,  1995  restructuring  plan, the balance to be
paid relating to restructuring  at May 31, 1996 is approximately  $274,000 which
is included in accrued  liabilities  in the  accompanying  May 31, 1996  balance
sheet.  This  balance  is  estimated  to be paid  as  follows;  $203,000  in the
remainder of fiscal year 1996, $66,000 in fiscal year 1997, and $5,000 in fiscal
year 1998.

The Company believes the balance of the accrued restructuring charges at May 31,
1996 of $274,000 is adequate to absorb the remaining estimated charges.

For the nine months ending May 31, 1996 the closed offices of  Bakersfield,  New
Orleans and Miami had  combined  gross  revenues of  approximately  $952,000 and
combined net loss before income taxes of approximately $396,000.

(5)        Significant Customer Disclosure

The Company  operates in one  industry  segment,  as  contemplated  by Financial
Accounting  Standards  Board  Statement No. 14. During the nine months ended May
31, 1996, Laidlaw Environmental  Services, Inc. and its affiliates accounted for
approximately 20% and another customer, Southern State Utilities, Inc. accounted
for approximately 10% of consolidated  gross revenues.  At May 31, 1996, amounts
due from these  customers  aggregated  $903,389,  and are  included in "accounts
receivable, net" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

During the nine months ended May 31, 1995, Laidlaw Environmental  Services, Inc.
and  its  affiliates   accounted  for  approximately  18%  and  Southern  States
Utilities, Inc. accounted for approximately 4% of consolidated gross revenues.

Results of Operations
- - ---------------------

Comparison of three months ended May 31, 1996 and 1995. Gross revenues decreased
by 30% to  $3,461,516  for the three  months  ended May 31,  1996,  compared  to
$4,950,690  for the same period of fiscal year 1995.  This 30% decrease in gross
revenues results from changes in each of the Company's operations as follows:

Florida  operations  had a decrease of $1,283,116  (62%) from the prior year. Of
this decrease  approximately $340,000 (27%) was due to office closures while the
balance  was mainly due to the  curtailment  of the  Florida  UST  Program.  The
majority of the decrease in the South Carolina/California  operations was due to
the  decrease  in  landfill  design  work in  California.  The 19%  increase  in
Tennessee/New  Orleans  operations  is  entirely  due to an  increase in work in
Tennessee  primarily  relating to several large  remediation  projects which are
expected to last through the balance of the fiscal year offset by a 75% decrease
in New Orleans.  Due to the above,  the Company,  in May, closed the California,
New Orleans and Miami offices (Reference is made in Note (4) to the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements). The Hydro Division gross revenue increase is
mainly due to a large  injection  well project  which is expected to continue to
the end of the fiscal year.

Contracted backlog at May 31, 1996 is approximately $6.0 million. The backlog is
no assurance as to future gross revenues.

Cost of gross  revenues  is 68.4% and 84.6% for the three  months  ended May 31,
1996 and  1995  respectively.  As a result  gross  profit  increased  in 1996 by
approximately  $329,000  (43%).  This  increase  is  primarily  due to a  larger
percentage of gross revenues being generated from  professional fees which carry
a higher gross profit than

                                    10 of 15

subcontracted  revenues,  combined  with  a  one-time  charge  of  approximately
$719,000 to gross revenues in fiscal year 1995 to record the estimated discounts
on long-term  receivables due from the Florida UST Program (Reference is made to
Note (3) to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Selling,  general and  administrative  expense for the three months decreased by
approximately  $713,000 (30%) to $1,688,065  compared to $2,401,139 for the same
period of fiscal year 1995.  The  majority of this  decrease is due to personnel
downsizing,  office  closures and a reduction in fixed  expenses plus  increased
utilization  of direct  personnel.  This  decrease  was  partially  offset by an
increase in expenses  resulting  from  approximately  $307,000 in  restructuring
charges  (Reference  is  made  to  Note  (4) of the  Notes  to the  Consolidated
Financial  Statements).  The provision for income taxes  increase from the prior
year is primarily due to an adjustment to an income tax  receivable  recorded in
the  prior  year  combined  with  the  Company's  utilization  of all  tax  loss
carry-backs.

The net loss for the three  months  ended May 31, 1996 was  $659,277 or 19.0% of
gross  revenues  compared to $1,633,184 or 33.0% or gross revenues for the prior
year.  This  decrease in the net loss is  primarily  due to an increase in gross
profit, and a decrease in selling,  general and administrative expenses combined
with the one-time discount charges to prior year gross revenues.

The net loss per common  share for the three months ended May 31, 1996 was $.10,
while for the same  period of the prior  year,  the net loss was $.56 per share.
For the  current  year,  the net loss per  common  share  was  calculated  using
weighted average common shares outstanding of 6,361,708. For the prior year, the
net loss per common share was calculated  after the deduction from net income of
$140,000 for preferred stock dividends and using weighted  average common shares
outstanding of 3,180,854.

Comparison  of the nine  months  ended  May 31,  1996 and 1995.  Gross  revenues
decreased by 33% to $11,022,001 for the nine months ended May 31, 1996, compared
to  $16,453,252  for the same period of fiscal year 1995.  This 33%  decrease in
gross  revenues  results from changes in gross revenues at each of the Company's
operations as follows:

Florida operations had a decrease in gross revenues of $4,355,748 from the prior
year.  Of this  decrease,  approximately  $1,334,191  or 31%  was due to  office
closures, and the balance was due to the curtailment of the Florida UST program.
The  majority of the  decrease in the South  Carolina/California  operations  of
$920,418  was due to a  decline  in  landfill  design  work in  California.  The
Tennessee and New Orleans gross revenue decrease of $793,772 is primarily due to
a decrease in gross revenues associated with a New Orleans due diligence project
and a  Department  of Energy  project  completed  in the prior  year.  The Hydro
division  gross  revenues  increase  of $638,687 is mainly the result of a large
injection  well project  which should  continue  into the fourth  quarter of the
current fiscal year. Partially as a result of the decreases, the Company in May,
1996 closed the California,  New Orleans and Miami offices (Reference is made to
Note (4) of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Cost of gross revenues is 67.9% for the nine months ended May 31, 1996, compared
to 73.3% for the same  period of the prior year.  This  decrease in costs is the
result of a larger  percentage of gross revenue being  generated by professional
fees than by  subcontractors,  revenues  from  professional  fees carry a higher
gross  profit  than  revenues  from   subcontracted   expenses,   plus  improved
utilization of personnel combined with the effect on the prior year of recording
the discounts on the Florida UST Program receivables.

Selling,  general and administrative  expenses for the nine months ended May 31,
1996  decreased by  approximately  $1,676,000 or 27% to  $4,630,291  compared to
$6,305,918  for the same period of fiscal 1995.  The majority of the decrease is
due to staff  downsizing,  office  closures,  and reductions in fixed  expenses,
which  was  partially  offset  by the  $307,000  one-time  restructuring  charge
(Reference is made to Note (4) to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Net interest  expense  increased due to an increase in interest rates as well as
in amounts borrowed. Other income, net, decreased primarily due to the inclusion
in the prior  year of a net gain of  $153,000  on the  favorable  settlement  of
contract  claims.  The decrease in the benefit for income taxes results from the
utilization of prior year tax loss carrybacks.

The net loss for the nine months ended May 31, 1996 was $1,223,438,  or 11.1% of
gross revenues compared to a net loss of $1,742,773, or 10.6% of gross revenues,
for the same period of the prior year. This increase in percentages is primarily
the result of decreases in gross revenue and in other income,  partially  offset
by decreases in cost of sales.

The net loss per common  share for the nine months  ended May 31, 1996 was $.19,
compared to a net loss per common share of $.68 for the same period of the prior
year.  Weighted  average  common  shares  outstanding  for the current  year are
6,361,708.  For the prior  year,  the net loss per common  share was  calculated
after the deduction of $420,000 for preferred stock dividends and using weighted
average common shares outstanding of 3,180,854.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- - -------------------------------

The  Company's  operating  activities  used net cash of $808,002.  This cash was
primarily used to pay accounts  payable  associated with the Florida UST Program
as well as to pay accrued liabilities associated with the restructuring program.
The payment of accounts  payable was necessitated by law to complete the Florida
UST  projects  in  progress  prior to filing for  reimbursement  with the State.
Accounts  receivable  and  unbilled  accounts  receivable  provided  net cash of
approximately $739,000 as the result of completing work-in-progress at year-end.
Also,  net  income tax  refunds  provided  cash of  approximately  $129,000.  In
addition,  there were non-cash charges to the net loss of depreciation,  and the
amortization  of prepaid  expenses and the provision for bad debts which totaled
approximately $454,000, while the net loss was $1,223,000.  The net cash used in
operating  activities  was  primarily  provided  by  net  borrowings  under  the
Company's revolving credit line.

Working  capital at May 31, 1996 was  approximately  $447,000  for a decrease of
$1,024,000  when  compared to the same date of the prior year.  The  decrease in
working  capital  was  mainly  due  to  a  decrease  in  accounts  and  unbilled
receivables  of  $739,000,  which is  reflective  of the  decrease in  revenues,
together with completion of work-in-progress at prior fiscal year-end.

Although current assets  decreased,  current  liabilities  remained  essentially
constant  during  this nine month  period.  The  accounts  payable  and  accrued
liabilities  decrease of  $882,000,  which was  primarily  due to gross  revenue
reduction combined with the pay-off of liabilities associated with the long-term
receivables  due from the  Florida UST  program,  was mainly  financed  with net
additional  borrowings of similar  amount under the Company's  revolving  credit
line.

Inflation has not  significantly  affected the Company's  financial  position or
operations.  Borrowings  under the new $3.0 million line of credit bear interest
at the prime rate of the lender  less .25%.  The prime rate at May 31,  1996 was
8.25%.  No  assurance  can be given  that  inflation  or the prime rate will not
significantly fluctuate, either of which could adversely affect the Company.
