ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.
 
(A) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF BUSINESSES ACQUIRED.
 
                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
TO THE PARTNERS OF CONNELL LIMITED PARTNERSHIP:
 
     We have audited the balance sheet of the Luria Brothers Division ("Luria")
of Connell Limited Partnership as of December 31, 1996, and the related
statements of income, cash flows, and parent investment for the year then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the management of Luria
Brothers Division and Connell Limited Partnership. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
     We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     As explained in Note 2 of the financial statements, certain of the expenses
presented in the financial statements represent intercompany allocations of the
costs of services provided to Luria by Connell Limited Partnership.
Additionally, the financial statements exclude an allocation of Connell Limited
Partnership's interest cost incurred in connection with its investment in Luria
and the costs of certain services provided Luria by Connell Limited
Partnership's legal and treasury departments. As a result, the financial
statements presented may not be indicative of the financial position or results
of operations that would have been achieved had Luria operated as a
non-affiliated entity.
 
     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material aspects, the financial position of the Luria Brothers Division
of Connell Limited Partnership as of December 31, 1996, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                          CONNELL LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
 
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                             30, 1997 IS UNAUDITED)
 
1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:
 
     Luria Brothers Division (the "Division" or "Luria") is a division of
Connell Limited Partnership ("CLP" or "Parent") and is engaged principally in
the business of buying, selling and processing ferrous scrap for its own account
and for the account of others on a national basis, and in providing on-site mill
services to major steel companies.
 
2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
Basis of Presentation and Relationship with Connell Limited Partnership
 
     The accompanying financial statements present the Division's results of
operations and its financial condition as it operated within the Connell Limited
Partnership.
 
     Interest expense associated with CLP's general debt used to finance the
acquisitions of all its businesses and interest associated with CLP's additional
investment in Luria have not been allocated to the Division's financial
statements.
 
     Certain expenses associated with insurance, benefit costs and professional
fees represent allocations and management's estimates of costs incurred by CLP
and are included in the financial statements. These costs approximated
$1,600,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and $2,000,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1996. As the division maintains its own finance,
administrative, human resource, management information systems, and facilities
functions, no allocation of general CLP office functions has been made.
Management of external legal counsel activities and certain legal agreement
preparation and treasury activities have historically been performed by CLP as
the division does not maintain these resources. The accompanying financial
statements do not reflect an allocation of these costs as they are viewed by
management to be immaterial to Luria's financial statements.
 
     Cash and short-term investment activities pertaining to the Division are
included in CLP's centralized cash management system. As such, the Division's
principal operating cash receipts and disbursements are transacted through CLP's
consolidated debt facility and reflected in "net transactions with parent" in
the accompanying financial statements.
 
     These financial statements are intended to present management's estimates
of the results of operations and financial condition of the Division as a
stand-alone entity for the periods presented.
 
     Considering the above factors, the financial statements presented may not
be indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have
been achieved had Luria operated as a non-affiliated entity.
 
Management's Estimates
 
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period.
Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.
 
Revenue Recognition and Brokerage Transactions
 
     Revenue from steel brokerage and yard sales is recorded as products are
shipped. Mill service revenue is recorded as services are performed.

                           LURIA BROTHERS DIVISION OF
                          CONNELL LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
 
                     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D)
 (INFORMATION AS AT SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
                             30, 1997 IS UNAUDITED)
 
     Revenue on steel brokerage transactions is recorded at the contracted
amounts and approximated $261 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 and $350 million for the year ended December 31, 1996.
 
     Included in cost of sales are selling, general and administrative expenses
associated with brokerage transactions. These costs approximated $2,668,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and $3,320,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1996.
 
Inventories
 
     Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or market. The last-in,
first-out (LIFO) method is used to determine the cost of all inventories, except
for supplies for which the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method is used.
 
Parent Investment
 
     Parent investment includes CLP's equity and debt investment in Luria, cash
activity transacted through CLP's centralized cash management system and
allocations of certain expenses from CLP.
 
Property, Plant and Equipment
 
     Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost.
 
     Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed using the
straight-line method based on estimates of useful lives. Leasehold improvements
are amortized over the lessor of the lease term or their estimated useful lives
using the straight-line method. Additions, improvements and major rebuilds are
capitalized.
 
Pensions
 
     CLP maintains defined benefit plans and has determined pension expense for
Luria in accordance with the requirements of Statements of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 87 -- "Employers' Accounting for Pensions."
 
Postretirement Health Care and Life Insurance
 
     The Division provides postretirement health care and life insurance
benefits for certain employees and retirees. Expenses associated with these
benefits have been determined in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 106, "Employers's Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions".
 
Income Taxes
 
     No provision for federal and state income taxes has been recorded in the
financial statements as the Division's earnings are generally taxed directly to
the partners of CLP.
 
Environmental Matters
 
     Remediation costs are accrued based on estimates of known environmental
remediation exposure of known environmental exposure. Such accruals are recorded
even if significant uncertainties exist over the ultimate cost of the
remediation and therefore such estimates are subject to change as additional
information

becomes available. Ongoing environmental compliance costs, including maintenance
and monitoring costs, are expensed as incurred (See Note 7).
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
     The financial instruments that potentially subject the Division to credit
risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. Most of the Division's customers
are companies that operate in the steel industry. Credit risk with respect to
trade accounts receivable is generally diversified due to the large number of
entities comprising the customer base and their dispersion across many
geographic areas. Luria performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers'
financial condition. In addition, during 1997 and 1996, the Division's
receivables were covered under the credit insurance policies maintained by CLP.
 
3.   INVENTORIES:
 
     Inventories consisted of the following at December 31, 1996 and September
30, 1997 ($ in thousands):

                                                                        -------           ------
Total............................................................      $ 10,956          $ 7,409
                                                                        =======           ======
</TABLE>
 
     If the FIFO cost method had been used, Division income for the year ended
December 31, 1996 would have been lower by $2,520,000 and for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 would have been higher by $253,000.
 
     During 1996 certain inventories were reduced, resulting in the liquidation
of LIFO inventory layers carried at lower costs prevailing in prior years as
compared with the current cost of inventory. The effect of this inventory
liquidation was to reduce cost of sales and increase Division income in 1996 by
approximately $276,000.
 
     On a FIFO cost basis, reported year-end inventories would have been higher
by $2,278,000 on December 31, 1996 and $2,531,000 on September 30, 1997.
 
4.   FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
 
     The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, receivables,
accounts payable and certain other current liabilities approximate fair value
because of the immediate or short-term nature of these financial instruments.
 
5.   EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:
 
Pension Plans
 
     The Division is part of CLP's defined benefit cash balance pension plan
covering substantially all salaried, non-union employees. CLP's funding policy
is to contribute, at a minimum, the statutory required amounts.
 
     Luria also maintains a defined benefit pension plan for hourly-compensated
employees covered under a collective bargaining agreement. Luria's expense under
these plans approximated $131,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
and approximated $152,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996.

                     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D)
 (INFORMATION AS AT SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
                             30, 1997 IS UNAUDITED)
 
     CLP has not performed a separate actuarial calculation of the funded status
of the defined benefit cash balance pension plan for the Division.
 
     Luria also makes contributions to certain multiemployer plans as determined
by various collective bargaining agreements. Luria's expense under these plans
approximated $424,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and
approximated $554,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996.
 
Profit-Sharing and Savings, and Management Incentive Plans
 
     The Division also participates in CLP's defined contribution profit-sharing
and savings plan for certain nonunion hourly and all salaried employees, and
incentive compensation plans for certain management personnel. Luria's expense
under these plans approximated $576,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 and approximated $557,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996.
 
     Certain key Division personnel are covered by CLP's long-term management
incentive program. Costs attributed to Luria under this plan approximated
$167,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and approximated $104,000
for the year ended December 31, 1996 and are excluded from the Division's
financial statements as this liability is retained by CLP.
 
Postretirement Health Care and Life Insurance Benefits
 
     Luria provides postretirement health care and life insurance benefits for
certain employees and retirees. Postretirement health care and life insurance
expense plan approximated $72,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
and approximated $96,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996.
 
     Accrued postretirement benefit costs under these plans approximated $33,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and approximated $44,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1996.
 
     Luria's unfunded accumulated postretirement health care and life insurance
benefits obligation approximated $600,000 at September 30, 1997 and December 31,
1996. The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was determined using a
discount rate of 7.5%. The health care cost trend rates were assumed to be 8.5%,
gradually declining to 5% in 2003. CLP has capped Luria's future contributions
to postretirement benefit costs at the 1993 level. As a result, management
believes that any change in the assumed health care cost trend rate will not
have a material impact on the Division's postretirement benefit costs.
 
6.   LEASES:
 
     The Division leases equipment and real property in the normal course of
business under various operating leases. Lease agreements frequently include
renewal options and require that Luria pay for utilities, taxes, insurance and
maintenance expenses. Rental expense associated with operating leases for the
year ended December 31, 1996 approximated $2,720,000 and for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 approximated $2,061,000.

7.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
 
     The Division is subject to various liabilities resulting from transactions
arising in the ordinary course of business and is involved in claims and legal
proceedings in which damages and other remedies are sought. There are also
potential claims and liabilities under federal and state laws and regulations
related to environmental matters, including Superfund. In the opinion of
management, after review with counsel, the eventual disposition of these matters
will not have a material adverse effect on Luria's financial position.

                             PHILIP SERVICES CORP.
 
       NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
           (thousands of dollars, except share and per share amounts)
 
1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
     The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet and statement of
earnings present the financial position of Philip as at September 30, 1997 and
results of its operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and the
year ended December 31, 1996 as if the acquisitions discussed in Notes 2 and 3
below had occurred at the beginning of the year ended December 31, 1996. These
pro-forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of
U.S. GAAP.
 
     The unaudited pro forma statement of earnings for the year ended December
31, 1996 was prepared by combining the following:
 
     -  the unaudited pro forma statement of earnings of Philip, which includes
        the significant acquisitions completed during the fiscal year ended
        December 31, 1996 and the nine months ended September 30, 1997 (Note 2),
        and
 
     -  the audited statement of earnings of Luria for the year ended December
        31, 1996.
 
     The unaudited pro forma statement of earnings for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 was prepared by combining the following:
 
     -  the unaudited pro forma statement of earnings of Philip for the nine
        months ended September 30, 1997, which includes the significant
        acquisitions completed during the nine months ended September 30, 1997
        (Note 2), and
 
     -  the unaudited statement of earnings of Luria for the nine months ended
        September 30, 1997.
 
     The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 1997
was prepared by combining the unaudited balance sheet of Philip as at September
30, 1997 and the unaudited balance sheet of Luria as at September 30, 1997 as
adjusted for the accounting for the acquisition and the assets not purchased by
Philip.
 
     The pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of Luria
included elsewhere in this filing and the historical consolidated financial
statements of Philip, Allwaste, Intsel and Luntz included in the S-1 filing
dated November 6, 1997.
 
     Certain figures from the Allwaste, Intsel, Luntz and Luria consolidated
financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the basis of
presentation used by Philip in preparing Philip's Consolidated Financial
Statements.
 
     The acquisition of Luria assets has been accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting.
 
     The pro forma consolidated financial statements do not purport to be
indicative of the financial position of Philip or the results of operations that
might have occurred, had the acquisitions been concluded on January 1, 1996, nor
are they necessarily indicative of future results.
 
2.   ACQUISITIONS PRIOR TO SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
 
     Statement of Earnings:
 
     The audited consolidated statement of earnings of Philip for the year ended
December 31, 1996 and for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, was adjusted
to include the acquisitions of Allwaste, Intsel and Luntz as if they had
occurred on January 1, 1996 as follows:
 
     (i)  the results of operations of Luntz for the period from January 1,
          1996 to the date of acquisition, which was December 23, 1996, have
          been included in the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of
          earnings for the year ended December 31, 1996; and

           1996 to the date of acquisition, which was September 27, 1996, have
           been included in the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of
           earnings for the year ended December 31, 1996; and
 
     (iii) the results of operations of Allwaste for the period from December 1,
           1995 to November 30, 1996 have been included in the unaudited pro
           forma consolidated statement of earnings for the year ended December
           31, 1996 and the results of operations for the period from December
           1, 1996 to May 31, 1997 have been included in the unaudited pro forma
           consolidated statement of earnings for the nine months ended
           September 30, 1997. Actual results of operations of Allwaste have
           been included in the historical Philip results of operations since
           July 31, 1997, which was the date of the acquisition.
 
     The pro forma consolidated statement of earnings of Philip ("Pro Forma
Philip") incorporates the following pro forma assumptions:
 
     (a)  actual revenue and expenses for the month of December 1996 for Luntz
          have been recorded as an adjustment in order to reflect a full 12
          month period in the pro forma consolidated statement of earnings. The
          effect of this adjustment is to record additional revenue of $11,133,
          operating expenses of $10,248, and selling, general and administrative
          expenses of $585;
 
     (b)  the amortization of goodwill and other intangibles and the
          depreciation of the incremental fair market value increases relating
          to the acquisitions have been included in the pro forma consolidated
          statement of earnings from January 1, 1996 at rates consistent with
          those disclosed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of
          the Company. The amortization of goodwill was increased by
          approximately $1,500 for the year ended December 31, 1996 and
          operating expenses were increased by approximately $500 as a result of
          this adjustment for the year ended December 31, 1996;
 
     (c)  interest on increased borrowings necessary to finance the acquisitions
          has been included from January 1, 1996 for the acquisitions of Luntz
          and Intsel. This adjustment increased interest expense by $6,000 for
          the year ended December 31, 1996; and
 
     (d)  inventory for resale is valued on the last-in-first-out or "LIFO"
          basis of accounting in the historical financial statements of Luntz.
          To be consistent with the accounting policies employed by Philip, the
          basis of accounting for inventory for resale has been adjusted to
          reflect the lower of average cost and net realizable value. As a
          result, operating expenses have increased by $1,388 for the year ended
          December 31, 1996.
 
     Balance Sheet:
 
     The historical consolidated balance sheet for Philip includes the balance
sheets of Allwaste, Intsel and Luntz as at September 30, 1997 and, therefore,
separate balance sheets for these companies are not included.
