   1.   General

        The interim consolidated financial statements presented have been
   prepared by Thermo Remediation Inc. (the Company) without audit and, in the

   necessary for a fair statement of the financial position at June 29, 1996,
   the results of operations for the three-month periods ended June 29, 1996
   and July 1, 1995, and the cash flows for the three-month periods ended
   June 29, 1996 and July 1, 1995. Interim results are not necessarily
   indicative of results for a full year.

        The consolidated balance sheet presented as of March 30, 1996, has
   been derived from the consolidated financial statements that have been
   audited by the Company's independent public accountants. The consolidated
   financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and
   do not contain certain information included in the annual financial
   statements and notes of the Company. The consolidated financial statements
   and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial
   statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
   for the fiscal year ended March 30, 1996, filed with the Securities and
   Exchange Commission.

        Certain amounts in fiscal 1996 have been reclassified to conform to
   the fiscal 1997 financial statement presentation.


   Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
            Results of Operations

   Overview

        The Company is a leading national provider of industrial-remediation
   services, nuclear-remediation services, soil-remediation services, and
   waste-fluids recycling services.

        In December 1995, the Company acquired Remediation Technologies, Inc.
   (ReTec), a provider of consulting, engineering, and on-site services to
   help clients manage problems associated with environmental compliance,
   waste management, and the remediation of industrial sites contaminated with
   organic wastes and residues.

        The Company's Thermo Nutech division provides services to remove
   radioactive contaminants from sand, gravel, and soil, as well as health
   physics services, radiochemistry laboratory services, and radiation
   dosimetry services.

        The Company, through its TPS Technologies Inc. division, is also a
   national leader in the design and operation of nonhazardous soil-
   remediation facilities and operates a network of such facilities serving
   customers in more than a dozen states along the East and West Coasts.

                             THERMO REMEDIATION INC.

   Overview (continued)

        The Company's Thermo Fluids subsidiary collects, tests, processes, and
   recycles used motor oil and other industrial oils.

        The Company's soil-remediation business is affected by several
   factors, including enactment and enforcement of environmental legislation
   regarding underground storage tanks, the availability of state funding for
   environmental cleanup, economic cycles, extreme weather variations, and
   local competition. Since the soil-remediation centers compete locally,
   these factors vary from site to site. The Company's ReTec and Thermo Nutech
   businesses are affected by several factors, particularly, extreme weather
   variations, government spending, and regulation of remediation activities.

   Results of Operations

   First Quarter Fiscal 1997 Compared With First Quarter Fiscal 1996

        Revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 were $23,520,000,
   compared with $13,181,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1996, an increase
   of 78%. Revenues increased primarily due to the inclusion of $10,494,000 in
   revenues from ReTec, which was acquired in December 1995. Revenues from
   nuclear services increased 4% due to higher revenues from a long-term
   environmental restoration contract for the U.S. Department of Energy's
   (DOE's) Hanford site (Hanford) and related health physics services, largely
   offset by a decrease in radiochemistry laboratory work, reflecting a
   reduction in spending at the DOE and delays in federal government budget
   appropriations. Revenues from soil-remediation services decreased 8%
   resulting from declines in the volume and price of soil processed due to
   competitive pricing pressures and ongoing regulatory uncertainties in
   several states. Revenues from fluids-recycling services increased 12% due
   to the addition of a new facility in Nevada.

        The gross profit margin decreased to 19% in the first quarter of
   fiscal 1997 from 31% in the first quarter of fiscal 1996, primarily due to
   the inclusion of lower-margin revenues from ReTec. The gross profit margin
   on nuclear services decreased due to higher operating costs, declining
   revenues from higher-margin radiochemistry laboratory work, and increased
   revenues from the lower-margin Hanford contract. The gross profit margin on
   soil-remediation services decreased primarily due to competitive pricing
   pressures.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
   revenues decreased to 12% in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 from 16% in
   the first quarter of fiscal 1996, due to the efficiencies associated with
   increased revenues and, to a lesser extent, additional cost-control
   measures.

        Interest income decreased to $491,000 in the first quarter of fiscal
   1997 from $595,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 as a result of lower
   average invested balances following the acquisition of ReTec in December
   1995. Interest expense increased to $550,000 in the first quarter of fiscal
   1997 from $371,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1996, primarily due to
   the issuance of subordinated convertible debentures in May 1995.

                             THERMO REMEDIATION INC.

   First Quarter Fiscal 1997 Compared With First Quarter Fiscal 1996
   (continued)

        Equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiary in the first quarter
   of fiscal 1997 represents ReTec's proportionate share of income from a
   joint venture.

        The effective tax rate was 37% in the first quarters of fiscal 1997
   and 1996, which is higher than the Company's federal statutory income tax
   rate primarily due to the impact of state income taxes.

   Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Working capital, including cash, cash equivalents, and short-term
   available-for-sale investments, was $46,207,000 at June 29, 1996, compared
   with $46,343,000 at March 30, 1996. Cash, cash equivalents, and short- and
   long-term available-for-sale investments were $33,749,000 at June 29, 1996,
   compared with $35,349,000 at March 30, 1996.

        During the three months ended June 29, 1996, the Company expended
   $2,301,000 on purchases of property, plant and equipment. During the
   remainder of fiscal 1997, the Company expects to make capital expenditures
   of approximately $3,600,000, primarily to expand the fluids-recycling
   services business. Although the Company has no material commitments for
   capital expenditures, such expenditures will largely be affected by the
   number of complementary businesses that can be acquired or developed during
   the year. On July 31, 1996, the Company entered into a nonbinding
   memorandum of understanding with respect to the possible acquisition of a
   remediation contracting firm, for a purchase price equal to $1.8 million in
   cash and 324,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The completion of
   this transaction is subject to several conditions, including completion of
   the Company's due diligence investigation and negotiation of a definitive
   agreement. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that this transaction
   will be completed. The Company believes that it has adequate resources to
   meet its financial needs for the foreseeable future.
