                                 (Unaudited)


1.  The interim consolidated financial statements are prepared pursuant to the
    requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q.  These statements include the
    accounts of IDM Environmental Corp. and its majority owned subsidiary
    companies.  The December 31, 1995 balance sheet data was derived from
    audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required
    by generally accepted accounting principles.  The interim financial
    statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the
    financial statements and notes included in the Company's Form 10-K for the
    year ended December 31, 1995.  In the opinion of management, the interim
    financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature
    necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods
    presented.  The current period results of operations are not necessarily
    indicative of results which ultimately will be reported for the full year
    ending December 31, 1996.

2.  On June 28, 1996 IDM granted to Arle L. Pierro a non qualified option for
    50,000 shares of its Common Stock at $3.23125 per share pursuant to a
    consulting agreement that expires on June 30,1997.  Since the market value
    of the stock at  June 28, 1996 was $7.4375, the market price less the
    exercise price (3.23125) times the 50,000 shares results in $210,312 of
    compensation expense that is being expensed over four quarters at $52,578
    per quarter beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 1996. 

3.  On July 11, 1996, effective June 30, 1996, IDM entered into an exclusive
    license agreement with LIFE INTERNATIONAL PRODUCTS (Life) pursuant to which
    IDM shall market and employ Life's patented environmental remediation
    technology for long term bio remediation of contaminated groundwater
    throughout North America.  IDM also acquired a ten percent interest in
    Life for $1,250,000.

4.  On July 19, 1996 IDM, through a newly formed 90% owned subsidiary, Global
    Waste & Energy International, Inc. ("International"), entered into an
    agreement with Continental Waste Conversion, Inc. ("CWC") pursuant to which
    International acquired, in exchange for a 10% interest in International,
    the exclusive worldwide rights (excluding Canada) to the proprietary Kocee
    Gas Generator waste treatment technology that converts municipal solid
    waste, including tires and plastics into electrical energy.  IDM has
    committed to loan up to $1,350,000 over a four month period to
    International to carry on its waste-to-energy business.  At closing IDM
    made an initial loan of $600,000 to International repayable upon demand
    with interest at 9.25%.  On August 15, 1996 and  October 4, 1996 IDM made
    additional loans of $250,000 (on each date) repayable upon demand with
    interest at 9.25%.  In addition, IDM, through a wholly-owned subsidiary of
    International loaned $160,000 (Canadian) to CWC repayable in 18 
    consecutive installments commencing January 1, 1997 with interest at 7.5%
    per annum.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of Securities Exchange Act of
1934.  Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the
forward-looking statements as a result of the risk factors set forth in this
report.

THIRD QUARTER OF 1996 COMPARED WITH THIRD QUARTER OF 1995

The Company's total revenues decreased by approximately 79.3% from $14,230,000
for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 to $2,949,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996.  Contract service income decreased during the quarter by
71.3% from $10,120,000 in 1995 to $2,905,000 in 1996.  The decrease in contract
service income and total revenues is attributable to expected  revenues being
delayed into the fourth quarter at our Oak Ridge, Los Alamos, and Boston
offices.  Also during the third quarter of 1995 the Company recorded
approximately $5.4 million in revenues attributable to a major relocation
project.  The Company had no relocation  revenues in the third quarter of 1996. 
Surplus equipment and scrap sales revenues decreased by 98.9% from $4,110,000
in 1995 to $44,000 in 1996.  The decrease in surplus equipment and scrap sales
revenues was attributable to the sale of the Company's entire inventory of 
glass lined and process equipment, for $4 million,  to  Universal Process
Equipment, Inc. and the Bethlehem Corporation, ("UPE"), during the third
quarter of 1995.  The gross margin on this sale was $1,370,000.  This
represented 12.2% of the total revenues reported through the first nine
months of 1995 and 29.1% of the total gross profit reported.  The purchase
price of such equipment is payable from one third of the net sales proceeds
of such equipment received by UPE.  Amounts not paid under the agreement
shall be payable in full on September 29, 2000 including interest at the
LIBOR base rate.  Management does not believe there is a major risk of 
inventory obsolescence due to the fact that the design and technology of the
major inventory items has not changed much over the years.  To the extent any
amounts are not repaid from the ultimate sale of the inventory by September 29,
2000, repayment will be dependent on the financial resources of UPE.
Management is not aware of any adverse factors which could adversely impact the
ability of UPE to satisfy the notes.  Through September 30, 1996 UPE has paid
$1,031,000 on the note.

Direct job costs decreased by approximately 49.1% from $9,395,000 for the
quarter ended September 30, 1995 to $4,784,000 for the same period in 1996. 
The primary elements of such decrease in job costs were job salaries and
material and supplies.  The decrease in job costs was attributable to the
decrease in contract service revenues during the quarter.  The reason why
contract revenues decreased 71.3% and direct job costs only 49.1% during the
quarter is primarily attributable to an increase in costs incurred and
estimated costs of approximately $1.9 million dollars to complete two 
contracts without a corresponding significant increase in revenues.  In
accordance with revenue recognition principles of the percentage of completion
method of accounting, provision for estimated losses on incomplete contracts
are made in the period in which such losses are first determined.  Cost of
equipment sales decreased from $2,675,000 in 1995 to $9,000 in 1996.  The
decrease in cost of equipment sales was attributable to the UPE sale mentioned
above.

While total revenues decreased by 79.3% for the quarter, general and
administrative expenses  increased 14.7 % from $2,010,000 during the quarter
ended September 30, 1995 to $2,356,000 during the same period in 1996.  The
increase in general and administrative expense was primarily attributable to
$208,000 in expenses recorded by the Company's 90% owned subsidiary, Global
Waste & Energy Inc.

                                   -6-

In addition to its operating income and expenses, the Company reported net
interest income of $7,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared
to net interest income of $45,000 for the same period in 1995.  The decrease in
net interest income/expense was attributable to $10,000 in interest expense
which accrued on $500,000 of indebtedness which remained outstanding during the
quarter out of the $5,000,000 of convertible notes issued in the third quarter
of 1995 and an increase in interest expense due to the additional $850,000 in
equipment financing compared to the same period last year.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company reported a loss before taxes of
$4,371,000 and net loss of  $3,599,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996
as compared to income before taxes of $29,000 and net income of $19,000 for
the same quarter in 1995.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 Compared with Nine Months Ended September
30, 1995

Total revenues decreased by approximately 45.0% from $32,815,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 to $18,063,000 for the same period in 1996. 
Contract service income decreased during the period by 35.6% from $27,725,000
in 1995 to $17,866,000 in 1996.

The Company, in a news release dated April 1996, stated that its expectation to
receive an additional $2 to $3 million in revenue in March was not realized due
to an administrative delay.  The Company further stated that it expected to
accrue such revenues largely in the second quarter of this year.  These
statements relate to the Company's previously announced paper plant project in
the People's Republic of China.

The Company has entered a Chinese-Foreign Equity Joint Venture Contract with
China National Packaging and Materials Co. Xuzhou General Paper Mill ( a 
leading Chinese paper manufacturer located in the People's Republic of China)
to acquire, own, and operate a paper mill to produce liner board and other 
paper products.  IDM has also received a Letter of Intent from China National
Packaging to supply, relocate, construct, and start-up the paper mill plant.
At the time of the news release, the Chinese Design Institute was reviewing
the technical aspects of the plant to be relocated.  Subsequent to that time a
series of discussions have taken place which have led to the current status of
the project.  During the fourth quarter of 1996, a group of European
businessmen (Temple Inland executives) are traveling to China to meet with the
Chinese joint venture partner to discuss the project.  It is currently
anticipated that Temple Inland will purchase a portion of the Company's
interest in the joint venture so that the company will supply the equipment
and remain a minority equity participant.  The Company's management did not
consider recognizing any revenue on the project in the second or third quarter
as the project has not yet been consummated.

Surplus equipment  revenues decreased 96.1% from $5,090,000 in 1995 to $197,000 
in 1996.  See the quarterly comparison for discussion of the factors
contributing to the decrease in surplus equipment and scrap sales revenues.

Direct job costs decreased by approximately 40.9% from $25,043,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 to $14,802,000 for the same period in 1996.
See the quarterly comparison for a discussion of the factors contributing to
the decrease in direct job costs.

Cost of equipment sales decreased from $3,063,000 in 1995 to $82,000 in 1996. 
The decrease in cost of equipment  sales was attributable to the UPE sale.
     
General and administrative expenses increased 3.5% from $5,747,000 during the
nine months ended September  30, 1995 to $5,946,000 during the same period in
1996.  The increase was primarily attributable to the $208,000 in expenses of
Global Waste & Energy Inc. mentioned earlier.

                                      -7-

The Company reported a decrease in net interest income/(expense) from $223,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $23,000 for the same period in
1995. See the quarterly comparison for a discussion of the factors contributing
to the decrease in net interest income/(expense).

As a result of the foregoing, the Company reported a loss before taxes of
$3,305,000 and a net loss after tax of $2,745,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 as compared to a loss before taxes of $1,207,000 and a net
loss after taxes of $727,000 for the same period in 1995.

MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. 

At November 17, 1996, the Company had a backlog totaling approximately $42
million compared to a backlog of approximately $58 million at September 30,
1995.  The largest component of the Company's backlog at November 17, 1996
was $20 million for the East Dam project.

In addition to its existing backlog, the Company is presently bidding on, and
intends to bid on numerous projects to replace revenues from projects which
will be completed during 1996 and to increase the total dollar volume of
projects under contract.  Management anticipates that the Company's efforts to
bid on and secure new contracts will focus on projects which can be readily
serviced from the three regional offices opened by the Company during 1994 and
1995.  In addition, the Company has submitted proposals on several large
international plant relocation projects.  The Company's regional offices,
particularly the Oak Ridge, Tennessee, Los Alamos, New Mexico, and  Boston,
Massachusetts  offices are strategically located in areas having a high
concentration of prospective public and private remediation sites.  While
bidding to perform services at such sites is expected to be highly competitive,
management believes that the Company's existing presence on  projects at these
locations combined with its proven expertise and resources will enhance the
Company's chances of successfully bidding on substantial new projects.

The Company had working capital of $ 13,450,000, including  cash and cash
equivalents balances of $2,973,000 at September 30, 1996.  This compares to
working capital of $10,293,000 and a cash balance of $83,000 at December 31,
1995. The increase in working capital and  cash is primarily attributable to
the exercise of warrants and options totaling $8,445,000 during the period,
less the pre tax loss of $3,305,000 during the period and the  acquisition of
a 10% interest in Life on July 11, 1996 for $1,250,000.

Year-end receivables as a percentage of fourth quarter income increased
substantially from 53.0% in 1994 to 103.5% in 1995.  This ratio was 82% at
December 31, 1993.  The ratio dropped to 53% at December 31, 1994 because the
Company received a $4,184,000 payment on its FJFC contract on December 23,
1994.  If this payment had been received after year end, the ratio would have
been a more comparable 98.4%.

Of the $6,816,000 in gross accounts receivable at December 31, 1995, $6,128,000
has been collected to date. $252,000 of the $688,000 balance is retention on
contracts that will be released when the contracts are completed. $291,000 is
due from three customers that management believes will be realized this year. 
The $200,000 reserve for doubtful accounts covers the balance of $145,000.

Unbilled revenue as a percentage of quarterly contract income has increased
from 0% at December 31, 1993, to 31% at December 31, 1994, to 56% at December
31, 1995, and to 116% at September 30, 1996.  Also, accounts payable have
constantly decreased since 1994 where as accounts receivable and unbilled
revenues have increased substantially during this period.

Prior to going public in April 1994, most of the Company's revenues were
generated in the private sector.  Many of these contracts had substantial
initial mobilization payments and generated positive cash flow during the life
of the contract.  Since then the company has been successful, as a result of
its growth strategy, in obtaining a number of government contracts at major
Department of Energy and Department of Defense sites.  This work was obtained
as a direct result of opening three new regional offices.  The experience with
these contracts has been negative cash flows until we near contract completion. 
This is due to the requirement that we submit a schedule and a schedule of
values at the beginning of the job and bill according to the percent complete
of each item in the schedule of values - not the costs we have incurred.  Our
jobs of any size are at a risk of being front end cost loaded when there is
little progress to report (i.e., we cannot bill until the structure is
demolished).  The Company is aware of this problem and is trying to remedy it
by maximizing mobilization costs in the schedule of values, requiring
subcontractors to bill on the same basis and aggressively negotiating better
(less front end cost loaded) schedule of values.

Initially the Company tried to increase payment terms to vendors by paying them
after the Company received our payment.  This method was unsuccessful.  Many
vendors put the Company on a COD basis and its D&B rating weakened because
D&B's file showed "increased slowness in the company's payment record."  This
lower rating hurt the Company in attempts to establish credit with new vendors. 
Because IDM is a growing company and trying to establish good relationships
with its vendors, the company is now paying its vendors within terms to fifteen
days late and attempting to improve its D&B  "paydex rating."  The paydex
rating of 60 is much worse than the average of the lower quartile for the
industry of 68 (median for the industry is 75).

The inventory of $1,483,000 is unchanged from September 30, 1995.  This
inventory consists of nineteen (19) generator sets with a total electrical
capacity of 242,500 kilowatts per hour (KWH).  The estimated selling price is
twelve million three hundred and seventy five thousand dollars ($12,375,000). 
Twelve (12) of the generators are steam driven and range in size from 12,500
kilowatts to 33,000 kilowatts (KW).  Seven (7) of the generators are diesel
driven and range in size from 1,000 to 9,000 kilowatts (KW).  These generator
sets should not be considered as obsolete or outdated inventory since its
design and technology has not changed much over the years.  They are very long
lead items (15-18 months), experience and project specific and as such they are
not to be compared with disposable items.

It is the Company's intent to incorporate two (2) 15,000 KW generator sets
(steam driven) in the El Salvador Global Energy's Waste to Energy Project.  In
future projects, the Company will try to use the balance of 15,000 KW generator
sets and the 12,500 KW and 33,000 KW sets.

At September 30, 1996, the Company's only long term debt other than $500,000 of 
convertible notes was $581,000 in installment debt secured by job equipment.

On July 11, 1996,  effective June 30, 1996, the Company acquired a ten percent
interest in Life International Products (Life) for $1,250,000.  The Company
also entered into a licensed agreement with Life whereby IDM shall market and
employ Life's patented environmental remediation technology for long term
bio remediation of contaminated groundwater throughout North America.

On July 19, 1996 IDM, through a newly formed 90% owned subsidiary, Global Waste
& Energy International, Inc. ("International"), entered into an agreement with
Continental Waste Conversion, Inc. ("CWC") pursuant to which International
acquired, in exchange for a 10% interest in International, the exclusive
worldwide rights (excluding Canada) to the proprietary Kocee Gas Generator
waste treatment technology that converts municipal solid waste, including tires

and plastics into electrical energy.  IDM has committed to loan up to 
$1,350,000 over a four month period to International to carry on its waste-to-
energy business.  At closing IDM made an initial loan of $600,000 to
International repayable upon demand with interest at 9.25%.    On August 15,
1996 and on October 4, 1996, the Company made additional loans of $250,000 (on
each date) repayable upon demand with interest at  9.25%.  In addition, IDM,
through a wholly-owned subsidiary of International loaned $160,000 (Canadian)
to CWC  repayable in 18 consecutive installments commencing January 1, 1997
with interest at 7.5% per annum.  Other than funding the Company's bonding and
other job costs the Company does not anticipate any substantial demands on the
liquidity or capital resources of the Company during the following twelve
months.

Since 1994 the Company has consistently generated negative operating cash
flows.  The primary reason for this was due to the Company's policy of
successfully bidding new work at lower than normal margins in order to
penetrate strategic markets serviced by the Company's newly opened regional
offices.  Now that the Company is established in these markets, the Company
has been bidding work at normal margins.  Management of the Company believes,
based on the current backlog of work and expected work to be awarded based on
bids outstanding, that future operating cash flows will be positive.

Management believes that the Company's working capital is sufficient to meet
the Company's anticipated needs for at least the following twelve months,
including the performance of all existing contracts of the Company.  However,
as the Company is presently pursuing bids on multiple large projects, the
Company may be required to seek new bank lines of credit or other financing in
order to facilitate the performance of jobs if the volume and size of projects
being performed by the Company increases substantially.  While the Company is
conducting ongoing discussions with various potential lenders with a view to
establishing available bank lines of credit if and when needed to support
future growth, the Company presently has no commitments from any bank or other
lender to provide financing if such financing becomes necessary to support
growth.
