         M4 Environmental L.P.                 97-21389-CJK
</TABLE>

         Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2015 and the United States Trustee's
Operating Guidelines and Reporting requirements for Chapter 11 cases, the
Company is obligated to file Monthly Operating Reports (MORs) with the Federal
Trustee for each of these bankruptcy cases. The Company's MORs for these cases
for the month ending December 31, 1997, plus a consolidated report, were filed
with the Federal Trustee at the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Boston, Massachusetts
on January 30, 1998. Such MORs are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 through 99.6
and are incorporated by reference herein.

EXTENSION OF DUE DATE FOR LOAN

         On December 22, 1997, the Company secured a short-term loan of $7.7
million from a lender (the "Lender") to fund continued operations and to allow
the Company time to secure medium-term financing from various potential
financing sources, including from the Lender. The loan was approved by a final
Order of the Bankruptcy Court on January 6, 1998. The loan, which was
originally due on January 30, 1998, is secured with a lien on substantially all
of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. On January 30, 1998, the
Lender agreed in writing to extend the term of the loan for an additional week,
to February 6, 1998, so that the Lender can complete its due diligence with
respect to offering a $20 million medium-term loan.

         receivable and payable are charged with the transfer of cash and other
         transactions, to appropriately account for such activity.

         NOTE TO THE MONTHLY OPERATING REPORT:

         The company uses a centralized system for its cash management.
         Accordingly, payments to suppliers and vendors, in the ordinary course,
         and post-petition trade accounts payable are reflected in the Molten
         Metal Technology, Inc. corporate level records. Intercompany accounts
         receivable and payable are charged with the transfer of cash and other
         transactions, to appropriately account for such activity.
