                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Board of Directors
National Environmental Service Co.

We have audited the accompanying supplemental consolidated balance sheet of
National Environmental Service Co. (formed as a result of the acquisition by
National Environmental Service Co. of Summit Environmental Services, Inc.) as of
December 31, 1998, and the related supplemental consolidated statements of
income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the two years
in the period ended December 31, 1998.  The supplemental consolidated financial
statements give retroactive effect to the acquisition by National Environmental
Service Co. of Summit Environmental Services, Inc. consummated on September 10,
1999, which has been accounted for using the pooling-of-interests method as
described in the notes to the supplemental consolidated financial statements.
These supplemental financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these supplemental
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the supplemental consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of National Environmental Service Co. at December 31, 1998 and the
consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two
years in the period ended December 31, 1998, after giving retroactive effect to
the acquisition of Summit Environmental Services, Inc., as described in the
notes to the supplemental consolidated financial statements, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

            NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                          December 31, 1998 and 1997


Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of business

National Environmental Service Co. (the "Company") is engaged in the businesses
of providing cathodic protection for underground metal tanks, installation of
spill and overfill protection, environmental site assessments, contaminated soil
and water remediation, installation and removal of storage tanks, and the
installation of fueling systems and related facilities.  The Company is
headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and has division facilities in Oklahoma City
and Enid, Oklahoma; Dallas and San Antonio, Texas; Largo, Florida; Columbia,
South Carolina; Greenville North Carolina; South Charleston, West Virginia; and
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Basis of presentation

The Company owns 100% of Fuel Recovery Systems, Inc. and Lab One Analytical,
Inc. ("Lab One").  The financial statements of Fuel Recovery Systems, Inc. and
Lab One are consolidated and all material intercompany accounts and transactions
are eliminated.

On September 10, 1999, the Company acquired Summit Environmental Services, Inc.
("Summit") in a business combination accounted for as a pooling of interests
(See Note 14). Accordingly, the supplemental consolidated financial statements
included herein give retroactive effect to this transaction and include the
combined operation of the Company and Summit for all periods presented.

Generally accepted accounting principles prohibit giving effect to a consummated
business combination accounted for by the pooling-of-interests method in
financial statements that do not include the date of consummation.  These
financial statements do not extend through the consummation date of the Summit
merger; however, they will become the historical consolidated financial
statements of National Environmental Service Co. after financial statements
including the consummation date of the Summit merger are issued.

Materials and supplies

Materials and supplies consist of purchased materials and are valued at cost
(first-in, first-out).
<PAGE>

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost.  Depreciation is provided using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
Gains and losses on retirement of property and equipment are recognized in the
period of retirement.

Net income per share

In the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (see Note 10).  SFAS
128 replaced primary earnings per share ("EPS") with basic EPS and fully diluted
EPS with diluted EPS. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net earnings available
to common shares by the weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS
is calculated similarly, except that it includes the dilutive effect of the
assumed exercise of all dilutive potential common shares outstanding.  SFAS 128
also requires previously reported EPS to be restated.  The adoption of SFAS 128
did not have a material effect on the calculation of EPS.

Income taxes

Deferred taxes are determined under the liability method, whereby deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized based on differences between financial
statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using presently enacted rates.
At December 31, 1998 and 1997, deferred taxes were recorded primarily for
temporary differences related to uncompleted contract income recognition and
depreciation of fixed assets.

Financial instruments

The Company's financial instruments consist of trade accounts receivable, trade
accounts payable, short-term and long-term debt.  The carrying amounts of these
financial instruments approximate fair value at December 31, 1998.  The fair
value of debt is estimated based on current rates offered for similar debt.

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of
credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables from customers and contracts
which will be due from customers when billable under the contracts.  The Company
does not require collateral from its customers although it may have the ability
to place liens.  Such credit risk is considered by management to be limited
because a substantial portion of contract billings are due from the Oklahoma
Indemnity Fund and due to the Company's broad customer base.  One commercial
customer accounted for 13% of sales in 1998 and another customer accounted for
13% of sales in 1997.
<PAGE>

Revenue recognition

The Company enters into fixed fee, cost-plus-fee and performance incentive
contracts. For long-term contracts, revenue is recognized on the percentage of
completion method measured by the percentage of direct costs to date to
estimated total direct costs for each long-term contract.  For short-term and
multiple unit contracts, revenue is recognized as services are rendered, based
on physical completion of the project.  Related costs are expensed as incurred.
Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period
in which such losses are determined.

Management estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period.  Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

New accounting standards

The Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," in 1998.
The Company has no comprehensive income items for the two years in the period
ended December 31, 1998.  Therefore, net income equals comprehensive income.
The Company will adopt SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Investments and
Hedging Activities" during 2001.  Currently the Company does not engage in
hedging activities or transactions involving derivatives.

Employee stock options

When the exercise price of employee stock options equals or exceeds the market
value of the stock at the date of grant, the Company recognizes no compensation
expense.

and current ratios.


Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies

Company, would have a material adverse effect on its operations or financial
condition if adversely determined.  However, due to the nature of its business,
it is, from time to time, and is currently, a party to certain legal proceedings
arising in the ordinary course of its business.


Note 7 - Stock Option Plans

Effective April 22, 1994, the Company established The National Environmental
Service Co. 1994 Employee Stock Plan ("the Plan"), the purpose of which is to
help the Company retain key employees and to reward them for contributing to the
Company's success.  On the same date, the Company also established The National
Environmental Service Co. Director Stock Option Plan (the "Director Plan"), the
purpose of which is to provide an incentive to non-employee Directors of the
Company so they may increase their interest in the success of the Company and to
encourage them to remain as Directors by providing them an opportunity to obtain
or increase their equity interest in the Company.  The total amount of common
stock authorized and reserved for issuance under the Employee Plan is 638,864
common shares.  At December 31, 1998, options to purchase 190,000 common shares
at $3.00 per share and 65,000 shares at $2.00 per share are outstanding.  A
total of 131,000 options were exercisable.  Under the Director Plan, 150,000
shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance and no options are
outstanding as of December 31, 1998.

alternative method of determining compensation cost for stock options, which
alternative method may be adopted at the option of the Company.  Had

On February 27, 1998, the Company acquired the office building, warehouse and
land on which the Company's corporate offices are located.  The purchase price
was $600,000.
<PAGE>

Lab One and the real estate were purchased from the Company's principal
shareholders (the Chairman and CEO and Executive Vice President) following
completion of independent appraisals and the unanimous consent of the Company's
outside directors.

Due to common ownership interests in the Company and acquired businesses, the
business combinations have been accounted for in a manner similar to the
pooling-of-interests method.  The 1997 financial statements have been restated
by decreasing costs and expenses $101,000, decreasing selling, general and
administrative expenses $17,000, increasing interest expense by $62,000 and
income taxes by $21,000 and increasing net income by $36,000.  The assets were
recorded by the Company at the cost basis of the principal shareholders.  The
excess of the purchase price over the recorded cost of the assets acquired of
$344,000 is reported as a reduction in shareholders' equity.

Note 13 - Subsequent Events

On January 1, 1999, the Company acquired the assets of a company in Largo,
Florida, for $50,000 and the assumption of certain liabilities totaling $95,590.
The acquired business is a provider of environmental, drilling, and related
services to the owners and operators of fueling systems as well as other
businesses.

On January 11, 1999, the Company acquired the assets, subject to certain
liabilities assumed, of a group of companies based in Greenville, North
Carolina, which provides services to the owners and operators of fueling
systems.  The purchase price of the assets acquired was $791,000, consisting of
$250,000 cash, notes payable, and the award of 40,000 shares of Company stock,
and options to purchase 45,000 shares of Company stock.


Note 14 - Business Acquisition

On September 10, 1999, the Company consummated the acquisition of Summit
Environmental Services, Inc., ("Summit"), successor to Summit Environmental
Services, L.L.C.  In connection with the acquisition, each share of the Summit
common stock was converted on a tax free basis into 30 shares of the Company's
common stock.  Prior to conversion, 50,000 shares of Summit common stock were
outstanding.  Summit is an environmental consulting firm specializing in
environmental site assessments, risk assessments and soil and groundwater
remediation, with offices in Enid and Edmond, Oklahoma.  Approximately 75% of
Summit's 1998 revenues and 78% of its 1997 revenues were from performance
incentive contracts funded by the Oklahoma Indemnity Fund.
<PAGE>

Approximately 62% of Summit's 1998 revenues and 92% of its 1997 revenues were
from businesses owned or controlled by its owners, prior to the merger.  The
Summit merger has been accounted for as a pooling-of-interests, and, as such,
the Company's supplemental consolidated financial statements included herein
give retroactive effect to the Summit merger for all periods presented.

The following is a summary of results of operations of the separate entities

During 1998 and 1997, Summit was operated as a limited liability company which
is taxed as a partnership.  Accordingly, Summit incurred no income taxes during
the period.  For purposes of presenting the combined operation of the Company
and Summit on a retroactive basis, Summit's income has been adjusted by $863,000
in 1998 and $450,000 in 1997, representing a provision for income taxes at an
effective 38% combined federal and state tax rate.  Taxes on Summit's temporary
differences have been credited to deferred income taxes payable and the
remainder has been credited to retained earnings.
