                   Hudson Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
           (Information as of March 31, 1996 and for the three months
                   ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 is unaudited)




1.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

                  a)       Business

                           Hudson Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the
                           "Company") are engaged in the business of recovering
                           and reclaiming refrigerants and the subsequent resale
                           of the purified product.


                  b)       Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

                           In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim
                           financial statements for the three months ended March
                           31, 1996 and 1995 are presented on a basis consistent
                           with the audited annual financial statements and
                           reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal
                           recurring accruals, necessary for fair presentation
                           of the results of such periods. The results of
                           operations for the period ended March 31, 1996 are
                           not necessarily indicative of the results to be
                           expected for the year.

                           The financial statements and notes are presented as
                           permitted by form 10-QSB and do not contain certain
                           information prescribed by generally accepted
                           accounting principles. These financial statements
                           should be read in conjunction with the financial
                           statements and notes thereto for the year ended
                           December 31, 1995 included in the Company's filing on
                           form 10-KSB. The accounting policies used in
                           preparing these financial statements are the same as
                           those described in the December 31, 1995 financial
                           statements.


                  c)       Reclassification

                           Certain 1995 account balances have been reclassified
                           for comparative purposes.


                  d)       Consolidation

                           The consolidated financial statements include the
                           operations of Hudson Technologies Inc. and its
                           subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and
                           transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

      2.          Capital Transactions

                  On September 15, 1995, the Company called warrants pursuant to
                  its initial public offering for redemption. A total of
                  1,530,139 shares of common stock were issued in connection
                  with this redemption through December 31, 1995. Net proceeds
                  of $9,289,138 were used to reduce liabilities and to finance
                  increased levels of inventory. An additional 66,500 shares
                  were issued in connection with this redemption in the three
                  months ended March 31, 1996. Net proceeds of $331,334 were
                  used for working capital purposes.


      3.          Acquisition

                  On August 15, 1995, the Company acquired Refrigerant
                  Reclamation Corporation of America ("RRCA"). The acquisition
                  was accounted for as a purchase from the date of acquisition
                  with the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recorded at
                  fair values, and the results of RRCA's operations included in
                  the Company's consolidated financial statements from the date
                  of acquisition.

                  The unaudited pro forma results of operations which follow
                  assume that the acquisition occurred at the beginning of 1995.
                  The unaudited pro forma calculations include adjustments for
                  the estimated effect on the Company's historical operations
                  for depreciation and amortization, interest and income taxes
                  related to the acquisition.

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

Results of operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995

     Net sales decreased by $2,492,155, or 39.3%, from $6,198,966 for the three
months ended March 31, 1995 to $3,756,811 for the three months ended March 31,
1996. The decrease in net sales was attributable to a decrease in the volume of
used refrigerants available to the Company for reclamation. The Company
purchased significant amounts of refrigerants from importers during the three
months ended March 31, 1995. In May 1995, the Company determined to cease
purchasing imported refrigerants and has not yet been able to obtain the same
levels of domestic refrigerants for reclamation. The near term inability to
obtain sufficient levels of domestic refrigerants impacted net sales during the
three months ended March 31, 1996. To the extent the Company is unable to obtain
sufficient quantities of domestic refrigerants in the future, the Company's
financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely
affected.

     Cost of sales decreased by $2,022,478, or 49.8%, from $4,059,243 for the
three months ended March 31, 1995 to $2,036,765 for the three months ended March
31, 1996, and decreased as a percentage of sales from 65.5% to 54.2%. The
decrease in absolute dollars was primarily attributable to decreased sales
levels. The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of sales reflects lower
costs associated with the Company's refrigerant recovery and on-site reclamation
operations on behalf of its customers and an increase in the volume of
refrigerants reclaimed and returned to customers rather than purchased,
reclaimed and resold. The percentage of refrigerants which the Company
purchases, reclaims and resells (rather than reclaims for the customer) at any
particular time depends upon the customer's decision and the availability of
used refrigerants. In future periods, cost of sales may be affected by freight
and other costs, price competition, by the availability of large quantities of
refrigerants available for purchase, and the volume of refrigerant reclaimed and
returned, versus purchased, reclaimed and resold.

     Operating expenses increased by $310,648, or 23.8%, from $1,306,383 for the
three months ended March 31, 1995 to $1,617,031 for the three months ended March
31, 1996. The increase was primarily attributable to increased general and
administrative expenses, including travel, salaries and related costs, as well
as depreciation and amortization. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales
increased from 21.1% to 44.8%. The increase in operating expenses as a
percentage of sales is a result of the increased expenditures required to
support the Company's expanded operations without corresponding increases in net
sales during the three months ended March 31, 1996.

     Interest expense was $51,299 for the three months ended March 31, 1996,
compared to $27,286 for the three months ended March 31, 1995. The increase in
interest expense is primarily the result of increased interest paid on the
Company's line of credit.


<PAGE>

     As a result, net income decreased by $392,386, or 83.1%, from $472,071 for
the three months ended March 31, 1995 to $79,685 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996. Net income as a percentage of sales also decreased from 7.6% to
2.1%.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's primary cash requirements have been to fund increased levels
of inventories and the costs of continuing expansion. The Company has
historically satisfied its working capital requirements primarily through cash
flow from operations, the issuance of equity securities and borrowings. At March
31, 1996, the Company had working capital of approximately $10,718,579, compared
to approximately $10,725,992 at December 31, 1995.

     Net cash used in operating activities was $361,500 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996, compared to $1,369,570 for the three months ended March
31, 1995. The decrease was primarily attributable to the reduced requirement to
fund inventory. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 was $605,697, compared to $1,667,445 for the three months ended
March 31, 1995. The decrease reflects a decrease in capital expenditures. Net
cash provided by financing activities was $268,566 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996, as compared to $1,247,625 for the three months ended March 31,
1995. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower borrowings under the
Company's agreement with MTB Bank New York City (the "Bank"). At March 31, 1996,
the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,760,978.

     The Company's capital expenditures were approximately $1,667,445 and
$605,697, respectively, the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996,
respectively. As of the date hereof, the Company does not have any material
commitments for capital expenditures.

     On April 23, 1996, the Company entered into a Contract of Sale with
Environmental Support Solutions, Inc. ("ESS"), Stephen Spain and Robert Johnson
(collectively, the "Sellers") pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase,
and the Sellers agreed to sell, all of the issued and outstanding shares of the
capital stock of ESS.

     The capital stock of ESS was purchased in consideration for $2,375,000,
which was paid by delivery, at the closing, of a check in the amount of $700,000
and promissory notes, payable to each of the Sellers, in the aggregate principal
amount of $1,675,000 (the "ESS Notes"). The ESS Notes become due and payable on
or before October 23, 1996 and bear interest at the annual rate of seven percent
commencing August 23, 1996. The parties have entered into a Stock Pledge
Agreement for the purpose of securing the Company's obligations under the ESS
Notes.

     The Company recently completed the implementation of a new management
information system designed to enable the Company to adapt to new service
developments and to enhance corporate productivity. The Company has budgeted
approximately $50,000 to date for this project and had expended approximately
$45,000 to purchase and develop software for the system. Such system is designed

to integrate inventory control and purchasing, financial and credit control and
internal communications. The Company anticipates that the system will allow the
Company to provide more value to its customers through greater efficiency,
easier order entry and enhanced inventory and pricing information. The system is
expected to provide management and other key employees with detailed account
information, including inventory levels at each of its facilities as well as
pricing and service availability information. The Company believes that the new
management information system will support its expanded operations.

     The Company believes that projected cash flow from operations, together
with available cash resources, including available borrowings under its
agreement with the Bank, will be sufficient to satisfy the Company's working
capital requirements and fund proposed capital expenditures for the foreseeable
future, including the payments due under the ESS Notes. However, to the extent
available cash is insufficient to make the payments under the ESS Notes, the
Company will require additional debt or equity financing. There can be no
assurance that any such financing will be available to the Company.

Seasonality and Fluctuations in Operating Results

     The Company's operating results vary from period to period as a result of
the seasonal nature of the Company's business, as well as from the requirements
of potential customers, non-recurring refrigerant sales and services, the
availability of large amounts of used refrigerants and the costs associated with
expansion activities which may be undertaken by the Company. The Company's
business is seasonal in nature with peak sales generally occurring in the first
and second quarters. Unforeseen events, including delays in securing adequate
supplies of refrigerants at a time of peak sales or decreases in sales during
such periods, could result in significant fluctuations in operating results or
losses which would not easily be reversed. In May 1995, the Company determined
to cease purchasing imported refrigerants and the inability to obtain the same
levels of used domestic refrigerants could adversely affect the Company's
financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that
the foregoing factors will not result in significant fluctuations in operating
results in the future.

Inflation

     Inflation has not historically had a material impact on the Company's
operations.
