NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance 
with the requirements of Form 10-QSB and consequently do not include all of 
the disclosures normally made in an annual Form 10-KSB filing.  Accordingly, 
these consolidated financial statements included herein should be reviewed in 
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the footnotes 
therein included within the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 
31, 1995.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 
the Company's customary accounting practices and have not been audited. In 
the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all 
adjustments necessary to report fairly the Company's financial position and 
results of operations for the interim period.  All such adjustments are 
normal and recurring in nature. The interim consolidated results of 
operations are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the 
year ending December 31, 1996.

NOTE 3 - Agreement of Merger

On May 1, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of 
CCT Corporation ("CCT") in a merger transaction by which CCT has become a 
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. CCT, based in Carlsbad, California, 
manufactures and distributes environmentally friendly proprietary agriculture 
products.  Shelby A. Carl, Chairman Emeritus of the Board of the Company, was 
(through the Shelby A. Carl trust) the majority stockholder of CCT, and his 
son, S. Steven Carl, was the minority stockholder. The merger transaction has 
been accounted for as a purchase with the results of operations of CCT 
included in the Company's consolidated financial statements from the date of 
the acquisition.  As a result of this transaction, goodwill of $1,706,531 was 
recorded.

The terms of the Agreement of Merger provide that the former stockholders of 
CCT will receive an aggregate number of shares of the Company's common stock 
equal to the sum of the "First Payment Shares" and the "Second Payment 
Shares."  The "First Payment Shares" is that number of shares of the 
Company's Common Stock equal to (i) ten multiplied by (ii) CCT's earnings for 
its fiscal year ended April 30, 1995 ("CCT's 1995 Earnings") (such product 
being referred to as the "1995 Multiple") and divided by (iii) $3.00, (on 
March 16, 1995, the date of the Letter of Intent between H.E.R.C. and CCT, 
the last sale price of the H.E.R.C. common stock, as quoted on NASDAQ, was 
$2.00); provided that the number of First Payment Shares shall not exceed 
533,333.  The "Second Payment Shares" is that number of shares of the 
Company's common stock equal to  the lesser of (i) eight multiplied by the 
difference between (A) CCT's earnings for the year ending December 31, 1996 
("CCT's 1996 Earnings") and (B) CCT's 1995 Earnings and (ii) $1,600,000 
divided by the average of the closing prices of the Company's common stock 
for the last ten trading days of 1996, as reported by NASDAQ; provided that 
(i) the number of Second Payment Shares shall be zero if CCT's 1996 Earnings 
are less than 1.9375 times 


                                                                        Page 7

CCT's 1995 Earnings and (ii) for purposes of calculating the number of Second 
Payment Shares and for purposes of the preceding clause (i) of this 
provision, CCT's 1995 Earnings shall be deemed not to exceed $160,000.   

Pursuant to the Agreement of Merger, the number of first Payment shares 
issued to the Messrs. Carl was reduced by the sum of payments made by CCT in 
satisfaction of debt owed by CCT the Messrs. Carl to Good-Miles Partnership 
divided by $3.00 per share ("Good-Miles Payment Shares").  At May 1, 1995, 
the amount of such debt ("Good-Miles Debt") was $358,973, of which $100,000 
has been paid by CCT since that date.

Based upon the audited financial statements of CCT for the year ended April 
30, 1995, CCT's 1995 Earnings were $190,017.  Accordingly, the Company issued 
to the Messrs. Carl an aggregate of 533,333 First payment Shares, reduced by 
33,333 shares as a result of the repayment by CCT of $100,000 of the 
Good-Miles Debt.  Pursuant to the Agreement of Merger, 90,309 of the First 
Payment Shares were placed in escrow with the Company's general counsel 
("Escrow Shares"), representing the number of shares, valued at $3.00 per 
share, equal to the remaining amount of Good-Miles Debt, including interest 
to maturity.  By agreement dated January 10, 1996, Messrs. S. Steven Carl and 
Shelby A. Carl agreed that the Good-Miles debt would be satisfied solely by 
the shares in escrow and, if necessary, any additional shares owned by the 
Messrs. Carl. The agreement dated January 10, 1996 is being further 
negotiated to determine the number of shares required to satisfy the debt.

The following pro forma results for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 are 
unaudited and were prepared as if the aforementioned acquisition had occurred 
at the beginning of the period presented:

NOTE 4 - Investment in Joint Venture

In November 1993 and January 1994, the Company entered into an operating 
agreement and supply/service agreement with Conair Corporation ("Conair") to 
form a limited liability company (the "LLC"), H.E.R.C. Consumer Products 
Company, under the Illinois Limited Liability Company Act effective January 
1, 1994.  The Company and Conair are the members of the LLC.  The LLC is 
licensed by the Company to utilize certain of its trade names and trademarks 
in the production and marketing of the consumer products business of the 
Company.  Conair is solely responsible for funding the operations of the LLC. 
The Company sold all of its consumer products inventory on hand at its cost 
at the effective date of the agreement to Conair.  The Company accounts for 
its investment in the LLC by use of the equity method of accounting.  
Accordingly, sales of the LLC are not reported as sales of the Company.  
Since the Company's investment in the joint venture is zero, its 
proportionate share of cumulative losses, ($35,750) as of March 31, 1996, has 
not been recognized to date.

The Company will continue to develop consumer products to be sold by the LLC. 
The Company will be reimbursed by the LLC in an amount equal to 3% of the 
LLC's net sales for the three-year period beginning on the effective date of 
the agreement.  After such three-year period, the Company will be reimbursed 
for its research and development costs directly attributable to products sold 
by the LLC in an amount not to exceed 3% of the net sales for products sold 
by the LLC.  At March 31, 1996, the Company was owed $165,129 by the LLC for 
the above mentioned reimbursement of 3% of net sales plus all other 
additional charges.



                                                                        Page 8

                                   (Unaudited)

The Company received a $200,000 advance from Conair as an advance against 
expected profits of HCPC which, including $20,000 of accrued interest 
expense, has been included in Notes Payable in the Company's consolidated 
financial statements.  The Company is negotiating with Conair regarding an 
agreement pursuant to which this debt will be reduced by certain amounts owed 
or to become owed by Conair to the Company, repaid only from cash 
distributions of HCPC and/or repayment installments in the future.  There can 
be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its negotiations.

The Company is entitled to 50% of the profit or loss of the LLC through 
December 31, 1996.  After that date, the agreement provides for profit or 
loss sharing based on the cumulative sales performance of the LLC for the 
three-year period ending December 31, 1996 ("Initial Period").  For 
cumulative sales during the Initial Period from $7.5 million to $16 million, 
the Company's profit sharing percentage ranges from 100% to 50%. For 
cumulative sales during the Initial Period from $16 million to $39 million, 
the Company's profit sharing percentage is 50%.  For cumulative sales during 
the Initial Period from $39 million to $60 million, the Company's profit 
sharing percentage ranges from 45% to 35%.  The Company is entitled to 
receive noncumulative distributions of the profits of the LLC, to the extent 
available, equal to $360,000 for each of the first two years and $280,000 for 
the third year of the agreement.  No such distribution was made during 1996 
or 1995. Upon dissolution of the LLC, it's net assets will be distributed to 
its members based upon the terms of various agreements.

Conair will act as the sole managing member and thereby direct the operations 
of the LLC during the three-year period ending December 31, 1996.  
Thereafter, management of the LLC shall be determined based on cumulative 
sales performance during that same three-year period.  For cumulative sales 
from $7.5 million to $12 million, the Company will be sole managing member.  
For cumulative sales from $12 million to $16 million, the Company and Conair 
will share management control.  If cumulative sales exceed $16 million, then 
Conair shall be the sole managing member.

As managing member, Conair has agreed that when it determines that the 
operations of the LLC have generated cash in excess of Conair's reasonable 
determination of what is required for the future successful operation of the 
LLC then Conair shall, after consulting with the Company, make a distribution 
of profits to the members.

Under the terms of the supply/service agreement, the Company and the LLC will 
purchase all of their consumer products requirements, as defined, from Conair 
during the term of the agreement. The LLC will purchase the products at a 
price which results in a gross profit of 18% to Conair. All agreements with 
Conair will terminate only upon agreement of the members or the failure of 
the LLC to achieve cumulative sales of $7.5 million for the three-year period 
ending December 31, 1996. 

A summary of the results of the operations of the LLC for the quarters ended 
March 31, 1996, and 1995 are as follows (unaudited):

                    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

NOTE 5 - Non Cash Investing Activities

For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, for the quarter ended March 31, 
1995, equipment with a cost of $292,324 was reclassified as inventory held 
for sale.  Of that total, $160,971 was sold during the quarter ended March 
31, 1995.

Note 6 - Subsequent Events

In April 1996, the Company completed the private placement of 3,214,902 
units.  Each unit consisted of one common share and one warrant.  The Company 
received proceeds of approximately $2,331,000, net of $402,000 in expenses 
directly related to the offering.  Each warrant entitles the holder to 
purchase, within three years from the closing date, one share of common stock 
at a price of $2.00 per share, subject to adjustment.  The shares sold and 
the shares underlying the warrants sold in this private placement have 
registration rights and are subject to a one-year lock up provision.  The 
placement agent in this offering received a unit purchase option entitling it 
to purchase 321,490 units, within five years from the closing date, at a 
price of $.935 per unit.

During 1996, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman Emeritus 
advanced an aggregate of $325,000 to the Company. Concurrent with the 
aforementioned private placement, the Company satisfied its repayment 
obligation through the issuance of 382,353 units.  The units issued to these 
individuals are included in the amounts noted above.

Fees, costs and expenses incurred prior to the private offering are 
capitalized and will be charged against the proceeds therefrom.     


                                                                       Page 10

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                             AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales during the first quarter of 1996 totaled $473,549, reflecting an 
increase of 120% from first quarter sales in 1995 of $215,062.  The increase 
was due primarily to sales of agricultural products which contributed 
$439,246 in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1996. Industrial 
water treatment product revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 
decreased 84% to $34,303 from $215,062 for the three months ended March 31, 
1995.  The decrease is due primarily to the sale of two Mobile Recirculation 
Units ("MRUs") in 1995 for approximately $150,000.  An MRU unit is a mobile 
unit with pumping machinery used to deliver the chemical products of the 
Company into the water system being treated.        

The gross profit margin as a percentage of sales increased to 34% for the 
first quarter of 1996 compared to a negative gross margin of 19% for the 
first quarter of 1995.  The increase is due to the sale of agricultural 
chemicals.  The negative gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 
1995 can be attributed to the Company's marketing efforts for its PIPE KLEAN 
product.  Fixed operating costs of maintaining the physical production plant, 
such as rent, utilities, repairs and maintenance, insurance and indirect 
labor have increased, while the sales volume of industrial products was not 
sufficient to absorb them. Management expects, but can make no assurance that 
the gross margin will continue to fluctuate based on the seasonality of its 
agricultural product sales, but in general will continue to increase in the 
foreseeable future.

The Company incurred $200,725 of selling expenses and $401,478 of general and 
administrative expenses in the first quarter of 1996 compared to $109,115 and 
$338,909, respectively, in the first quarter of 1995, representing an 
increase of $91,610 in selling expenses and an increase of $62,569 in general 
and administrative expenses.  The increase in selling expenses is due 
primarily to the expanded services and associated costs of CCT Corporation 
and its staff.  Approximately $70,000 of the increase in selling expenses and 
all of the increase in general and administrative expenses were attributable 
to the expanded services and associated costs of CCT Corporation.  The 
Company believes it will be necessary to further expand the selling 
infrastructure in order to successfully focus on marketing its various 
products.

The Company incurred a loss of $424,522 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, 
compared to a loss of $471,043 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995. The 
Smaller loss was due primarily to an increase in sales volume and a 
proportionally smaller cost of goods sold but was largely offset by higher 
general and administrative expenses.

The Company has, and anticipates that it will continue to have, increased 
selling and administrative expenses in connection with its shift in focus 
from consumer products to industrial and agriculture products.  These 
expenses will be incurred in the marketing of the Company's industrial 
products, through attendance at trade shows and industry conferences, 
advertising, on site demonstrations of the Company's technology and the use 
of marketing consultants outside the Company.

The Company's other income decreased from $18,319 for the quarter ended March 
31, 1995 to $14,329 for the quarter ended Marrch 31, 1996.  This decrease in 
other income was largely attributable to an increase in interest expense from 
$1,401 to $3,564 for the quarters ended March 31, 1995 and 1996 respectively.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's net cash used in operating activities for the first quarter of 
1996 was $279,622 compared to net cash used in operating activities for the 
first quarter of 1995 of $443,399.  This decrease in net cash used in 
operating activities is due primarily to an increase in accounts payable.  On 
May 1, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of CCT in a 
merger transaction by which CCT became 


                                                                       Page 11

a wholly owned subsidiary of the 
Company.  At March 31, 1996, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of 
$168,217 and working capital of $506,744 compared with cash and cash 
equivalents of $1,542,671 and working capital of $1,683,396 at March 31, 
1995.  The decrease in both cash and cash equivalents and working capital is 
due principally to the expenditure of cash for the normal operations of the 
Company.   

On April 3, 1996, the Company sold 3,214,902 units in a private placement, 
raising gross proceeds of $2,732,668 and net proceeds of approximately 
$2,331,000.  Each unit consisted of one share of the Common Stock of the 
Company par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock"), and one Common Stock 
Purchase Warrant ("Warrant").  Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to 
purchase one share of Common Stock for $2.00 until April 3, 1999.  The 
Company may call the Warrants for redemption at a price of $.01 per Warrant, 
on not less than 30 days prior written notice, if the last sales price of the 
Common Stock has been at least $5.00 per share on all 20 of the trading days 
ending on the third day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is 
given, if the Company has an effective registration statement under the 
Securities Act of 1933 covering the resale of the shares issuable upon 
exercise of the Warrants.  The Company is obligated to register the Common 
Stock issued in the offering and underlying the Warrants for resale by the 
holders.

The Company plans to use the proceeds from the Private Placement  and cash 
flow in the marketing of its water system treatment products, developing, 
licensing and purchasing of the rights of new biorational agricultural 
products and for working capital for general corporate purposes.  The 
Company's capital requirements have been and will continue to be significant. 
The Company is not currently generating sufficient cash flow to fund its 
operations, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to 
generate cash flows in the future which will be sufficient to fund its 
operations.  Assuming no change in the level of the business of the Company, 
it is anticipated that the proceeds from the private placement consummated 
April 3, 1996, together with existing cash resources, will be sufficient to 
meet its anticipated working capital requirements for approximately 12 
months.  If additional financing is needed, the Company will be required to 
borrow, sell additional securities or seek other new sources of financing or 
may be required to curtail or reduce its activities.  The Company has no 
current arrangements with any sources with respect to additional financing.  
There can be no assurance that any sources of additional financing will be 
available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all.  To the extent that 
any future financing involves the sale of the Company's equity securities, 
the interest of the Company's then-stockholders could be substantially 
diluted.
