                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)
 
(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Philip
Services Corp. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") and have been prepared in US
dollars using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
There have been no significant changes in the accounting policies of the Company
during the periods presented. For a description of these policies, see Note 1 of
Notes to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1997.
 
     The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared by the
Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). As applicable under such regulations,
certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in complete
annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The Company believes
that the presentation and disclosures herein are adequate to make the
information not misleading, and the financial statements reflect all elimination
entries and normal adjustments which are necessary for a fair statement of the
results for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997.
 
     As described in Note 4, the Company is currently not in compliance with the
provisions of its credit agreement and therefore, certain amounts of debt
previously recorded as long-term have been reclassified as current liabilities
which has created a working capital deficiency. These consolidated interim
financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles
applicable to a going concern which assumes that the Company will realize the
carrying value of its assets and satisfy its obligations and commitments as they
become due in the normal course of operations. The ability of the Company to
continue operating in this manner is dependant on a number of factors, including
the continuing financial support from the Company's lenders. Management is in
active discussions with its lenders to secure appropriate financing arrangements
while continuing to implement its operating and divestiture plans to ensure the
long term viability of the Company. These consolidated interim financial
statements do not reflect the adjustments and disclosures that would be
necessary if the going concern assumption were not considered to be appropriate.
 
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the Company to make estimates and
assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and
expenses and disclosures of contingencies. Actual results could differ from the
Company's estimates.
 
(2) SPECIAL CHARGES (in thousands)
 
     The financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 have
been affected by the following:
 
     In January of 1998, previously incurred but unrecorded trading losses
resulting from unauthorized trading of copper cathode outside of the Company's
normal business practices. The trading took place within the copper division of
the Company's Metals Services Group over a three year period ended December 31,
1997. The losses from the trading were deferred principally through unrecorded
liabilities and to a lesser extent were also improperly recorded through various
balance sheet accounts. During 1997, the previously unrecorded amounts were
improperly capitalized into the inventory accounts. The statements of earnings
for the three and six months ending June 30, 1997 reflect as special charges net
trading gains of $318 and $4,566, respectively, relating to this activity.
 
(3) ACQUISITIONS
 
     During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company acquired three
businesses. During 1997, the Company acquired over 30 businesses, including
Allwaste Inc. ("Allwaste") and Luria Brothers ("Luria").

(a) In August 1997, the Company signed a $1.5 billion revolving credit agreement
     which was amended in October 1997, February 1998 and June 1998 (the "Credit
     Facility") with a syndicate of international

     lenders which replaced the 1996 revolving term loan agreement and
     refinanced certain other long-term debt. The Credit Facility expires in
     August of 2002, and contains certain restrictive covenants and financial
     covenants including that: (a) the Company must meet interest ratio coverage
     tests as well as total debt and fixed charge ratio coverage tests; (b) the
     Company must maintain a prescribed level of working capital; and (c)
     acquisitions by the Company are subject to lenders' approval.
 
     At June 30, 1998, the Company was not in compliance with the Credit
     Facility financial covenants which require the Company to maintain a
     specified interest coverage ratio, debt to EBITDA ratio, fixed charge ratio
     and working capital ratio. As the Company is not in compliance with the
     terms of its Credit Facility, the debt outstanding under the Credit
     Facility has been classified as a current liability on the Company's June
     30, 1998 Consolidated Balance Sheets.
 
     Borrowings under the Credit Facility are guaranteed, jointly and severally
     by the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries and are secured by a pledge of
     all of the issued and outstanding securities, and all the present and
     future assets, held by the Company in all of its subsidiaries. The Credit
     Facility bears interest based on a moving grid. At June 30, 1998, the
     Company was paying approximately 7.2% on these borrowings. Pursuant to the
     June 1998 amendment to the Credit Facility, the facility was reduced from
     US$1.5 billion to US$1.2 billion, the interest rate charged was increased
     by 100 basis points, the Company was permitted access to US$60 million of
     the proceeds arising from an asset disposition and the Company agreed to a
     standstill until September 30, 1998 respecting the incurrence of additional
     debt and the making of dispositions or acquisitions.
 
     At June 30, 1998, the Company had undrawn credit capacity under the Credit
     Facility of approximately $101 million, net of outstanding letters of
     credit which amounted to $63 million.

(11) CONTINGENCIES (in thousands)
 
(a) The Company in the normal course of its business expends funds for
    environmental protection and remediation but does not expect these
    expenditures to have a materially adverse effect on its financial condition
    or results of operations since its business is based on compliance with
    environmental laws and regulations.
 
    Certain of the Company's facilities are contaminated as a result of
    operating practices at the sites prior to their acquisition by the Company.
    The Company has established procedures to routinely evaluate these sites
    giving consideration to the nature and extent of the contamination. The
    Company has provided for the remediation of these sites based upon
    management's judgement and prior experience. The Company has estimated the
    liability to remediate these sites to be $59,238.
 
    As well, certain subsidiaries acquired by the Company have been named as a
    potentially responsible or liable party in connection with sites listed on
    the Superfund National Priority List ("NPL"). In the majority of situations
    the Company's connection with NPL sites relates to allegations that its
    subsidiaries or their predecessors transported waste to the site in
    question. The Company has reviewed the nature and extent of its alleged
    connection to these sites, the number, connection and financial ability of
    other named and unnamed potentially responsible parties and the nature and
    estimated cost of the likely remedy. Based on its review, the Company has
    estimated its liability to remediate these sites to be $5,077.

(b) Various class actions which have been filed against the Company and certain
    of its past and present directors and officers. Each action alleges that
    Philip's financial disclosures for various time periods between 1995 and
    1997 contained material misstatements or omissions in violation of U.S.
    federal securities laws (provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and of the
    Securities Exchange Act of 1934) and seeks to represent a class of
    purchasers of Philip's common stock. On June 2, 1998, the Judicial Panel on
    Multi Jurisdictional Litigation ordered that the class actions be
    consolidated and transferred to the United States District Court, Southern
    District of the State of New York. On July 23, 1998, two pre-trial orders of
    the US District Court of New York were made. Pre-Trial Order No. 1 dealt
    with various administrative matters relating to the consolidation of the
    actions and a schedule for the plaintiffs to serve and file a consolidated
    amended class action complaint and for the Company's response. Pre-Trial
    Order No. 2 appointed a lead plaintiff and lead counsel. In addition,
    similar claims have been asserted against the Company and certain of its
    past and present officers and directors by the former shareholders of the
    Steiner-Liff Metals group of companies and the Southern-Foundry Supply group
    of companies. The claims allege that Philip's financial disclosures for
    various time periods between 1995 and 1997 contain material misstatements or
    omissions and that these constitute a breach of certain representations and
    warranties made to the former shareholders or alternatively, a violation of
    US securities laws. The Company has conducted a review of the claims and
    determined that it is not feasible to predict or determine the final outcome
    of these proceedings. The Company intends to vigorously defend all claims
    but there can be no assurance that the outcome of the class actions and
    related actions will not have a material adverse effect upon the financial
    condition or results of operations of the Company.
 
(c) The Company is named as a defendant in several lawsuits which have arisen in
    the ordinary course of its business. Management believes that none of these
    suits is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's business
    or financial condition and therefore has made no provision in these
    financial statements for the potential liability, if any.
 
(12) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
 
     On July 7, 1998, the Company sold its Houston, Texas based steel
distribution business for cash proceeds of $93 million of which $33 million was
used to pay down existing bank indebtedness. The remainder of the proceeds were
retained by the Company's lenders and are available to the Company for general
working capital purposes. The business generated annual revenue in excess of
$130 million and income from operations of $12.5 million in 1997.

             PART I, ITEM 2 -- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
     The following discussion reviews the Company's operations for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 and should be read in conjunction with
the Company's audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes
thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K/A Amendment No. 2 for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1997. The Company reports in U.S. dollars and in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
INTRODUCTION
 
     The Company is a supplier of metals and industrial services. The Company
has over 320 operating facilities and over 14,000 employees located throughout
North America and Europe, that provide services to approximately 50,000
industrial and commercial customers. The Company has achieved its position in
the metals recovery and industrial services market through internal growth and
through the acquisition and integration of over 40 companies since the beginning
of 1996. The Company's primary base of operations is in the United States.
 
     The Company's business is organized into two principal operating divisions
- -- the Metals Services Group and the Industrial Services Group. The Metals
Services Group processes or recycles ferrous scrap materials (the "Ferrous
Operations") and non-ferrous scrap materials at multiple locations throughout
North America and Europe. The Ferrous Operations include the collection and
processing of ferrous scrap materials primarily for shipment to steel mills and
also includes the processing and distribution of structural steel products. Non-
ferrous operations include the refining of second grade copper into prime ingot
as well as the processing of aluminum dross to recover primary aluminum and the
production of deoxidizing products and alloys from aluminum scrap for reuse in
the steel and automotive industries respectively. Copper operations process wire
and cable scrap to recover copper. Both the ferrous and non-ferrous operations
of Philip provide significant brokerage services for scrap materials and primary
metals including ferrous, copper, and aluminum. The Metals Services Group
services the steel, telecommunications, aluminum, wire and cable and automotive
industry sectors.
 
     The Industrial Services Group provides industrial outsourcing services,
by-products recovery and environmental services through a network of over 250
facilities in North America and Europe. Specific services include on-site
industrial services, environmental services and utilities management. On-site
industrial services include cleaning and maintenance, waste collection and
transportation, container services and tank cleaning, turnaround and outage
services, mechanical contracting and refractory services. Environmental services
range from decommissioning and remediation to emergency response and analytical
services. Utilities management services include industrial and municipal water
and wastewater treatment plans, power plants and related infrastructure. The
Industrial Services Group also provides by-products recovery services, which
include distillation, fuel blending, and the processing of organic and inorganic
materials. The Industrial Services Group services the automotive, chemical,
food, beverage, oil and gas, paint and coatings, petrochemical and pulp and
paper industry sectors, as well as public sector clients responsible for water
and wastewater treatment.
 
     The Company earns revenue from the delivery of on-site industrial services,
the sale of recovered commodities and from fees charged to customers for
by-product transfer and processing, collection and disposal services. The
Company receives by-products and, after processing, disposes of the residuals at
a cost lower than the fees charged to its customers. Other sources of revenue
include fees charged for environmental consulting and engineering and other
services, and revenue from the sale of steel products.
 
     The Company's operating expenses include direct and indirect labor and the
related taxes and benefits, fuel, maintenance and repairs of equipment and
facilities, depreciation, property taxes, and accrual for future closure and
remediation costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses include
management salaries,
 
                                       11
<PAGE>   13
 
clerical and administrative costs, professional services, facility rentals and
insurance costs, as well as costs related to the Company's marketing and sales
force.
 
DIVESTITURE PLANS:
 
     On June 2, 1998, the Company announced its intentions to sell its Metals
Services Group, other than the copper operations. The sale of these businesses
is anticipated to generate sufficient proceeds to allow the Company to reduce
its existing debt and restructure its Credit Facility. The proceeds to be raised
with this divestiture are currently unknown. The Metals Services businesses may
be sold in whole or in part, depending on the offers received. The net book
value of the assets of the Group, excluding the copper operations, is
approximately $950 million. In the event the Company were to dispose of the
Metals Services Group or a component thereof, for less than book value, a loss
would be incurred on the divestitures. In addition, costs with respect to
restructuring operations in the event of a partial disposition of the Metal
Services Group, may be necessary but are not quantifiable at this time.
 
     On July 7, 1998, the Company's Houston, Texas based steel distribution
business was sold for cash proceeds in excess of net book value of $93 million.
 
     The Company also intends to divest of certain of its non-core businesses or
investments which are currently part of the Industrial Services Group. The
proceeds which may be raised from this divestiture are currently unknown. The
annual revenue of these businesses is approximately $120 million and the net
book value of the assets is approximately $100 million. A gain or loss may be
recorded on the divestitures but the amount cannot be determined until
definitive arrangements are reached.

</TABLE>
 
     The 94% increase in consolidated revenue for the three months ended June
30, 1998 was attributable to the net effect of internal growth of approximately
$53 million in Industrial Services, ferrous operations and non-ferrous
operations, approximately $335 million from acquisitions and a decrease in
revenue in the copper operations of approximately $56 million. The 118% increase
in consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was attributable
to internal growth of approximately $86 million in Industrial Services, ferrous
operations and non-ferrous operations, approximately $735 million from
acquisitions and a decrease in revenue in the copper operations of approximately
$82 million.
 
     The Industrial Services Group revenue for the three months ended June 30,
1998, increased by $236 million compared with the same period in 1997. The
acquisitions of Allwaste and Serv-Tech as well as 7 other new businesses
contributed approximately $175 million of the revenue increase. The remainder of
the increase, or approximately $61 million, came from the expansion of service
offerings of existing businesses and internal growth. The increase in revenue
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 of $451 million compared with the same
period in 1997 was attributable to $375 million from acquisitions and $76
million from the expansion of service offerings in existing businesses and
internal growth.
 
     The Metals Services Group revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1998
reflects a net increase in revenue of $96 million compared with the same period
in 1997. A decrease in the revenue of the copper operations which are being
exited of $56 million and a decrease in selling prices in the ferrous and
non-ferrous operations netted with the acquisition of Luria Brothers in October
1997 as well as the acquisition of 8 other businesses which contributed
approximately $160 million to cause the overall increase. The increase in
revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1998 of $288 million compared with the
same period in 1997 was attributable to $360 million from acquisitions and a
decrease in copper operations revenue of $82 million.
 
OPERATING EXPENSES
 
     As a percentage of revenue, operating expenses for the three months and six
months ended June 30, 1998 were 92% and 90%, respectively compared to 86% in the
same periods of 1997. The increase was principally caused by the recording of a
reserve of $21 million in the copper operations to cover future inventory losses
which is discussed below.

</TABLE>
 
     The increase in revenue for the ferrous operations of $134.4 million and
$313.8 million in the three months and six months ended June 30, 1998,
respectively, was due primarily to the acquisition of business in fiscal 1997.
This increase was offset by lower sale prices for scrap, largely attributable to
reduced shipments of domestic scrap material to Asian markets, causing an
oversupply in the market in the United States. These lower prices are reflected
in income from operations as a percentage of revenue, which was 4.3% and 4.9%
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to 8.0% and 8.0%
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in revenue from
non-ferrous operations of $17.9 million and $30.2 million for the three months
and six months ended June 30, 1998, respectively, was due primarily to
acquisitions in fiscal 1997. The increase was offset by lower sales prices in
the period. Income from operations as a percentage of revenue was 0.6% and
(2.3%) for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to 1.3%
and 0.9% for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1997, reflecting
higher margins from the businesses acquired, partially offset by the lower
prices.
 
     Revenue and income from the copper operations for the three months ended
June 30, 1998 were significantly less than the same period in the prior year.
The copper operations, which include the scrap copper wire and cable processing
operations maintained primarily in the Company's Hamilton, Ontario yards, are
being liquidated or shut down. In the second quarter of 1998, yields from
processing and selling copper inventory were lower than anticipated which
contributed to the operating loss. Further, the Company realized lower than
expected prices on the sale of copper inventories which were liquidated in the
second quarter of 1998, and a reserve of $21 million was recorded to cover
future inventory losses. In addition, goodwill related to the Company's
Hamilton, Ontario copper yards of $11.5 million was determined to be impaired
and written off in the second quarter of 1998. As the Company makes its final
determination as to which copper processing operations will be retained or
closed, additional write-offs of goodwill and other assets may occur, however,
this amount can not be quantified at this time.

</TABLE>
 
     The increase in revenue from the Company's Industrial Services Group of
$235.5 million and $450.8 million for the three months and six months ended June
30, 1998 respectively, was due primarily to the acquisition of Allwaste and
Serv-Tech as well as of other businesses in fiscal 1997. Income from operations
as a percentage of revenue was 4.6% and 4.3% for the three months and six months
ended June 30, 1998 compared to 11.5% and 5.3% for the three months and six
months ended June 30, 1997, due to a cost overrun on a large turnaround project,
severance costs incurred in the quarter and a different mix of business which
has resulted after the acquisitions in fiscal 1997.
                                       14
<PAGE>   16
 
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
 
     Selling, general and administrative expenses have increased over the prior
year due to the consolidation of selling, general and administrative expenses of
companies acquired and to the addition of sales and marketing staff and
corporate staff to manage the increased volume of business. In addition costs of
$8.2 million were recorded, in the second quarter of 1998, relating to
severance, professional fees, legal costs respecting litigation and the
restructuring of the bank debt.
 
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
 
     Depreciation and amortization of fixed assets and goodwill for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 was $27.9 million, representing an increase of $18.7
million over the same period in 1997 due to acquisitions completed by the
Company in the prior year. Depreciation and amortization of fixed assets and
goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $55.2 representing an
increase of $37.6 million over the same period in 1997.
 
INTEREST EXPENSE
 
     Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was $22.9
million, and for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $42.3 million,
representing an increase of $14.9 million and $28.3 million, respectively, over
the same periods in 1997. This increase was primarily attributable to increased
borrowings to finance the Company's growth by acquisition and fixed asset
expansion, together with working capital requirements to support the Company's
increased revenue base.
 
OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE -- NET
 
     Other income and expense -- net for the six months ended June 30, 1998
includes a net gain of $14.7 million before tax received on the termination of
the merger agreement to acquire Safety-Kleen Corp. in the first quarter of 1998.
 
     Other income and expense -- net for the three and six months ended June 30,
1997 includes a $2.8 million gain before tax on the sale of shares received as
part of the proceeds on the sale of the Company's municipal and commercial solid
waste business in 1996. The shares, which were restricted at the time of
receipt, were sold by the Company in February 1997 following the removal of the
restriction.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
     The Company recorded an income tax provision in the three months ended June
30, 1998 due to a valuation allowance of $25 million which was recorded related
to Canadian operating losses incurred in the quarter. Based on the level of
historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the
periods in which the net operating losses are deductible, it was determined that
it was likely that the Company would not realize the benefit of the Canadian
deferred tax debit which arose in the quarter.
 
FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
LIQUIDITY AND CREDIT FACILITY
 
     In August 1997, the Company signed a five year term, revolving credit
agreement which was amended in October 1997, February 1998 and June 1998 ("the
Credit Facility") with a syndicate of international lenders which originally
provided for up to $1.5 billion in borrowings, subject to compliance with
specified availability tests. Borrowings under the credit agreement are
guaranteed by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries and are secured by a
pledge of all of the issued and outstanding securities and all the present and
future assets held by the Company in all of its subsidiaries. At June 30, 1998,
the Company was not in compliance with the Credit Facility financial covenants
which require the Company to maintain a specified interest coverage ratio, debt
to EBITDA ratio, fixed charge ratio and working capital ratio. As the Company is
not in compliance with the terms of its Credit Facility, the debt outstanding
under the Credit Facility has been classified as a current liability on the
Company's June 30, 1998 Consolidated Balance Sheets. Pursuant to the June 1998
                                       15
<PAGE>   17
 
amendment to the Credit Facility, the facility was reduced from US$1.5 billion
to US$1.2 billion, the interest rate charged was increased by 100 basis points,
the Company was permitted access to US$60 million of the proceeds arising from
an asset disposition and the Company agreed to a standstill until September 30,
1998 respecting the incurrence of additional debt and the making of dispositions
or acquisitions.
 
     At June 30, 1998, the Company's working capital deficiency was $646
million, representing a decrease of $1.0 billion from December 31, 1997. This
deficiency is attributable to the fact that the debt outstanding under the
Credit Facility of $1.04 billion was classified as a current liability at June
30, 1998.
 
     Inventory for resale, a significant component of the working capital at
June 30, 1998, has decreased by $97 million since December 31, 1997, due to the
liquidation of copper inventories given the intention to exit this business.
 
     At June 30, 1998, the Company had undrawn credit capacity under the
facility of approximately $101 million, net of letters of credit outstanding,
which amounted to $63 million.
 
     The Company believes that cash generated from operations, together with
amounts available under the Credit Facility, will be adequate to meet its
capital expenditures and working capital needs, although no assurance can be
given in this regard.
 
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
 
     Capital expenditures were $45 million during the first six months of 1998
compared to $34 million during the first six months of 1997.
 
YEAR 2000
 
     Philip has undertaken a review of all of its computer based systems to
mitigate problems that could occur as the result of the year 2000 century
change. This issue affects computer systems that have time sensitive programs
that may not properly recognize the year 2000. A project team has been assembled
and has prepared a plan to address these potential problems. Activities in
support of this plan are in progress to ensure that problems which are
identified from both internal and external sources are addressed before they
present a problem for the Company. The total cost for 1998 associated with any
required modifications is expected to be $5.0 million and will be expensed as
incurred.

                          PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
     From time to time, the Company is named a defendant in legal actions
arising out of the normal course of business. The Company maintains liability
insurance against risks arising out of the normal course of business. There can
be no assurance that such insurance will be adequate to cover all such
liabilities. The following describes pending legal proceedings other than
ordinary, routine litigation incidental to its business.
 
     In January 1997, the State of Missouri brought an enforcement action
against Solvent Recovery Company and the Company in state court alleging
numerous violations of hazardous waste regulations at the Company's Kansas City,
Missouri facility. Included were allegations that alterations or additions to
the facility's operations had been implemented without required modification of
the facility's hazardous waste permit as well as allegations of numerous
deficiencies under regulations and the permit in the accumulation, record
keeping, inspection, labeling, transportation and handling of such waste. The
Company and the State of Missouri have agreed upon a current payment of
$255,000, with a remaining future payment of $125,000 still the subject of
ongoing negotiations. The Company does not expect that the matter will have a
material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or financial
position.
 
     Various class actions which have been filed against the Company and certain
of its past and present directors and officers. Each action alleges that
Philip's financial disclosures for various time periods between 1995 and 1997
contained material misstatements or omissions in violation of U.S. federal
securities laws (provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) and seeks to represent a class of purchasers of Philip's
common stock. On June 2, 1998, the Judicial Panel on Multi Jurisdictional
Litigation ordered that the class actions be consolidated and transferred to the
United States District Court, Southern District of the State of New York. On
July 23, 1998, two pre-trial orders of the US District Court of New York were
made. Pre-Trial Order No. 1 dealt with various administrative matters relating
to the consolidation of the actions and a schedule for the plaintiffs to serve
and file a consolidated amended class action complaint and for the Company's
response. Pre-Trial Order No. 2 appointed a lead plaintiff and lead counsel. In
addition, similar claims have been asserted against the Company and certain of
its past and present officers and directors by the former shareholders of the
Steiner-Liff Metals group of companies and the Southern-Foundry Supply group of
companies. The claims allege that Philip's financial disclosures for various
time periods between 1995 and 1997 contain material misstatements or omissions
and that these constitute a breach of certain representations and warranties
made to the former shareholders or alternatively, a violation of US securities
laws. The Company has conducted a review of the claims and determined that it is
not feasible to predict or determine the final outcome of these proceedings. The
Company intends to vigorously defend all claims but there can be no assurance
that the outcome of the class actions and related actions will not have a
material adverse effect upon the financial condition or results of operations of
the Company.
 
ITEM 2: CHANGES IN SECURITIES
 
(C) SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
 
     None.
 
ITEM 3: DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
 
     At June 30, 1998, the Company was not in compliance with the Credit
Facility financial covenants which require the Company to maintain a specified
interest coverage ratio, debt to EBITDA ratio, fixed charge ratio and working
capital ratio. As the Company is not in compliance with the terms of its Credit
Facility, the debt outstanding under the Credit Facility has been classified as
a current liability on the Company's June 30, 1998 Consolidated Balance Sheets.
 
     Pursuant to the June 1998 amendment to the Credit Facility, the facility
was reduced from US$1.5 billion to US$1.2 billion, the interest rate charged was
increased by 100 basis points, the Company was permitted access to US$60 million
of the proceeds arising from an asset disposition and the Company
 
                                       17

                  to a bonding or insurance company provided that (i) such

                  indebtedness and liabilities arising under the applicable
                  indemnity agreement in connection with the applicable Bonded
                  Contract, (iv) such Lien only creates a Lien in, and does not
                  extend to any property other than, the applicable Bonded
                  Contract, amounts payable under the Bonded Contract or from
                  subcontractors under the Bonded Contract and equipment and

                  performed under the applicable Bonded Contract, (v) the
                  property subject to such Lien is subject to a valid perfected
                  Lien under the Security and the Restricted Party providing
                  such Lien has executed and delivered all Security required to
                  be executed and delivered by it under the Credit Agreement,
                  and (vi) such Lien has been fully postponed and subordinated
                  to the Lien of the Security pursuant to a written postponement
                  and subordination agreement in form, scope and substance
                  satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

         (z)      cash collateral security given to the issuer of the letters of
                  credit under the Permitted LC Facility provided that (i) the
                  aggregate amount of such cash collateral security shall not
                  exceed U.S. $20,000,000 (together with interest accrued
                  thereon), (ii) such cash collateral security will only secure
                  the debts and liabilities of the Cdn. Borrower to the issuer
                  of such letters of credit with respect to such letters of
                  credit, (iii) such cash collateral security will be funded
                  solely from the proceeds of Released Amounts released to the
                  Borrowers for such purpose pursuant to Section 6.07, and (iv)
                  the cash collateral held as such cash collateral security
                  shall be subject to the Lien of the Security subject only to
                  the Lien of the issuer of the letters of credit in such cash
                  collateral security (such cash collateral security being the
                  "PERMITTED LC FACILITY CASH COLLATERAL SECURITY")."
