NOTE 2 -       (continued)

               Facility I provides for a line of credit of $12,800,000, and is
               subject to the aggregate face amount of outstanding letters of
               credit plus unpaid drawings not exceeding $1,500,000. Borrowings
               under the letter of credit facility reduce amounts available for
               borrowings under the line of credit. Facility II is a term loan
               that was payable in consecutive quarterly payments of $225,425.
               On October 31, 1995, Amendment No. 10 to the Company's bank loan
               agreement was executed. The amendment provides for an extension
               of the maturity dates of the Facility I principal to June 30,
               1998 with respect to $61,900, to September 30, 1998 with respect
               to $150,000 and to December 31, 1998 with respect to $11,518,208
               and extends the quarterly installment payment dates for Facility
               II to calendar quarters ending in the period June 30, 1996 to
               June 30, 1998. The amendment provides for prepayment of principal
               to the extent of 50% of the Company's cash flow above designated
               levels. The amendment also provides that commencing November 1,
               1995 interest is to be paid at the rate of 4% per annum with the
               balance of the interest rate (the Bank's prime plus 2% per annum)
               to be accrued and deferred. The portion deferred will be paid or
               forgiven depending on the Company achieving reductions in its
               operating expenses from those for the year ended December 31,
               1994 as follows: if the amount of the reduction as of December
               31, 1995 is at least $500,000, the amounts deferred during
               November and December 1995 will be forgiven; if the amount of the
               reduction as of December 31, 1996 is at least $600,000, the
               amounts deferred during 1996 will be forgiven; and if the amount
               of the reduction as of December 31, 1997 is at least $700,000,
               the amounts deferred during 1997 and 1998 will be forgiven. The
               failure to achieve the designated level of reduction for any
               period will result in the obligation to pay the amount deferred
               during the applicable period. The Company achieved the targeted
               reduction as of December 31, 1995 resulting in forgiveness of
               interest of $145,000 for the two months ended December 31, 1995.
               The amount of the deferral for the six months ended June 30, 1996
               was $422,000.

               In July 1995, the Company entered into a one-year agreement with
               another bank providing for a $1,000,000 line of credit, which was
               increased to $1,750,000 in June, 1996, of which $200,000 was
               borrowed during the six months ended June 30, 1996.

               On June 28, 1995 two officers loaned the Company $500,000 with
               interest payable at the same rate as the Facility I loan. As a
               condition of Amendment No. 10, the officers agreed to a revision
               of their loans, changing the terms from demand loans to loans to
               be repaid following the payment of the credit agreement loans
               with provisions for prepayment to the extent of 50% of the


                                       8

               principal payments paid to the Bank under the credit agreement
               after the Bank has received post - October 31, 1995 principal
               payments of at least $1,000,000 and for the deferral of the
               interest in excess of 3.99% per annum (the loan interest rate to
               December 31, 1995 is 10.25% and prime plus 2% thereafter) until
               the Facility loans have been paid in full. Under their amended
               loan agreement, the officers surrendered their rights to
               collateral which was to be provided under the original loan
               agreement and subordinated their loans to the Company's
               obligations under the Credit Agreement. In consideration of the
               original extension of the loans and the foregoing amendment, the
               Company issued to each of the officers a five year
               non-transferable Warrant to purchase 75,000 shares of the
               Company's Common Stock at a price of $6.40 per share, the average
               of the closing sales prices of the Common Stock on NASDAQ for
               June 28, 1995, and the two immediately prior days in which trades
               were effected in the stock.

               Certain subsidiaries of the Company periodically acquire land/or
               buildings with a view to their future use in whole or in part as
               parking facilities. The properties are generally purchased
               subject to long-term mortgages. The mortgages vary in their
               payment terms and interest rates, some requiring only the payment
               of interest during the first five years.

               The mortgages payable are collateralized by the underlying assets
               which have a book value of $6,048,000. The two facility loans are
               collateralized by the stock of subsidiaries of the Company,
               except those whose stock may not be pledged because of
               prohibitions in leases and mortgages.

               Debt covenants under the Credit Agreement as amended, include a
               limitation on indebtedness under mortgage obligations and
               financial covenants as to maintenance of minimum net worth, total
               liabilities to net worth and operating cash flow ratios. The
               Company is in compliance with its debt covenants.

               Aggregate maturities on long-term debt are as follows:

NOTE 3 - Foreign Operations (Canada)

               Summarized information relating to the Canadian operation is as
follows:

                                          June 30, 1996       December 31, 1995
                                          -------------       -----------------
               Total assets                $1,180,000            $ 769,000
               Total liabilities            2,092,000            1,672,000
               Deficiency in assets          (912,000)            (903,000)

               For the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995,
               net loss for the Canadian operation was $45,000 and $108,000,
               respectively.

NOTE 4 -       Local Rent Tax

               The Company received notices of determination from a municipal
               local authority assessing the Company an aggregate of
               approximately $480,000 of local taxes for the periods of June 1,
               1981 through May 31, 1987 plus interest. The Supreme Court of the
               State of New York in one proceeding upheld in February, 1996
               assessments of $207,000 for commercial rent tax by the Finance
               Department of the City of New York for the period of June 1, 1981
               through May 31, 1984. No determination of the amount of the
               interest payable on the claim, other than it will materially
               exceed, possibly to the extent of being a multiple of the
               principal amount, has been made. The Company believes that the
               accrued amount of $1,232,000 which covers these assessments,
               possible future assessments, and related expenses through June
               30, 1996 is adequate.

NOTE 5 -       Earnings Per Share

               For the six and three month periods ended June 30, 1996 and June
               30, 1995, earnings per share has been computed using the weighted
               average number of shares of common stock outstanding and the
               dilutive effect of common stock equivalents.

NOTE 6 -       Income Taxes

               The provision for income taxes of $518,000 for the six month
               period ended June 30, 1996 is based on the effective tax rate
               expected for the year and includes (i) the partial realization of
               deferred tax assets, (ii) federal income taxes, (iii) income
               taxes of state and local jurisdictions for which the Company's
               operations were profitable and for which no net operating loss
               benefit is available and (iv) minimum corporate taxes for certain
               subsidiaries. The realization of the deferred tax assets relates
               directly to the Company's ability to generate taxable income for
               Federal, state, and foreign tax purposes. Management has


                                       10

<PAGE>

               concluded that partial realization of these deferred tax assets
               is more likely than not as a result of the Company's earnings
               history for the past two years, and has thus reduced the
               valuation allowance accordingly. Additional reductions to the
               valuation allowance will be recorded when, in the opinion of
               management, the utilization of such is more likely than not.

               The income tax provision of $380,000 for the six month period
               ended June 30, 1995 is based on the effective tax rate for the
               year and includes (i) federal income taxes, (ii) income taxes of
               state and local jurisdictions for which the Company's operations
               were profitable and for which no net operating loss benefit is
               available and (iii) minimum corporate taxes for certain
               subsidiaries.

NOTE 7 -       Contingencies

               Litigation:

               Various lawsuits against the Company have arisen in the course of
               the Company's business. In certain of these matters, large and/or
               indeterminate amounts are sought. In the opinion of the Company,
               any uninsured ultimate liability which could result from such
               litigation would not have a material adverse effect on the
               Company's financial position or the results of its operations.

               On March 29, 1996, the United States District Court for the
               Eastern District of Pennsylvania approved a net cash settlement
               of $1,700,000 plus interest payable to the Company as one of
               several plaintiffs in a class action brought against the owner,
               manager, and tenant of a building in midtown Philadelphia which
               suffered a fire in February 1991 causing substantial disruption
               of the operations of the plaintiffs. The settlement was received
               by the Company in May, 1996. The portion of the proceeds
               representing recovery of costs previously charged ($1,049,000)
               has been recorded as a reduction of total costs and expenses. The
               remainder of the settlement ($651,000) has been recorded as a
               gain from litigation settlement.

               Letters of Credit:

               As of June 30, 1996, the Company's contingent debt amounted to
               approximately $1,025,500 under standby Letters of Credit issued
               pursuant to terms of its line of credit (Facility I).

NOTE 8 -       Subsequent Event

               On July 31, 1996, the Company purchased a property for $2.4
               million, consisting of a $1.0 million mortgage note to the seller
               and a cash payment of $1.4 million, which was obtained via a
               drawdown of a line of credit of the Company.

                 SQUARE  INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                         OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                          AND FINANCIAL CONDITION


Results of Operations
- ---------------------

     The Company's operating results for the three months and six months ended
June 30, 1996 (respectively, the "Second 1996 Quarter" and the "1996 Six-Month
Period" ) benefitted from (i) the receipt in May 1996 of cash of $1,700,000 plus
interest from the settlement of a class action in which it was a plaintiff
resulting from the disruption of business operations in Center City in
Philadelphia from a fire in 1991 in a major office building; and (ii) the
realization of an additional $400,000 of the net deferred tax assets, $200,000
as of March 31, 1996 and $200,000 as of June 30, 1996. The cash settlement was
recorded as the $1,049,000 reimbursement of previously incurred fixed costs and
a gain from the settlement of $651,000.

     Parking service revenues were $133,000 (0.9%) and $439,000 (1.4%) lower for
the Second 1996 Quarter and the 1996 Six-Month Period as compared respectively
with the parking service revenues for the three months and six month ended June
30, 1995 (respectively, the "Second 1995 Quarter" and the "1995 Six-Month
Period" ) despite an increase in parking capacity. The operations for the first
quarter of 1996 were adversely impacted by the record snowfalls in the Company's
areas of operation. The amount of revenues for the Second 1996 Quarter were
adversely affected by a reduction in the capacity operated under lease
agreements (the parking capacity under management agreements increased) and an
approximately $100,000 aggregate decrease in the revenues for June 1996 as
compared to June 1995 of four locations as a result of the fewer events
scheduled during the month at the entertainment facility serviced by one
location and the reduction of capacity or elimination of certain required
parking services at three other locations. The impact of the foregoing was
partially mitigated by the continued success of the Company's promotion and
discount programs and the continuing improvement of the economies of the
principal regions in which the Company operates.

     The Company anticipates further material increases in parking service
revenues with the addition of its long term lease for the 750 car Rockefeller
Center garage in July 1996 and the move in January 1996 to the management of the
6,600 car lot at the Corel Centre, the home of the Ottawa Senators of the
National Hockey League, from the 1,930 car facility servicing the Civic Centre,
the original home of the team.

     Due principally to the lower revenues and the implementation of operating
economies, parking service operating costs were $327,000 (2.6%) lower for the
three month and $574,000 (2.3%) lower for the six month comparative periods,
with the 1996 Six-Month Period also benefitting from the reversal during the
first quarter of a $300,000 provision for additional labor and




                                       13
<PAGE>

occupancy costs which was no longer required in view of a new collective
bargaining agreement and a final tax determination. The Company did experience
increased costs from added locations during 1996 and the new collective
bargaining agreement. As a percentage of parking service revenues, the parking
service operating costs were relatively stable, 80.5% and 81.7% for the Second
1996 Quarter and the 1996 Six-Month Period as compared with 81.9% and 82.4% for
the 1995 Second Quarter and the 1995 Six-Month Period.

     The Company's gasoline station operations improved slightly, recording
$131,000 (12.9%) and $174,000 (8.8%) increases in service station revenues due
principally to increased patronage and higher retail gas prices for the Second
1996 Quarter and the 1996 Six-Month Period over those for the corresponding 1995
periods while the operating costs increased by only $77,000 (7.3%) and $116,000
(5.7%). As a result, for the 1996 periods the station, which remains marginal
due to intense competition, produced operating profits of $15,000 and $3,000
for the three and six months periods of 1996 as compared to operating losses of
($39,000) and ($55,000) for the three and six month periods of 1995.

     General and administrative expenses increased by $626,000 (36.6%) and
$770,000 (21.6%) for the Second 1996 Quarter and the 1996 Six-Month Period, over
those for the corresponding periods of 1995, and as a percentage of parking
service revenues (gasoline station operations require an insignificant amount of
such expenses) increased to 15.3% and 14.3% for the 1996 periods from 11.1% and
11.6% for the 1995 periods. The increases were the result of the material
increase in the accruals for executive officers bonuses arising from the
improved pre-tax earnings, higher health care claims and professional fees, and
the expenses related to the Company s operations in two new regions-Atlanta and
Indianapolis where the Company commenced operations after the First 1995
Quarter.

     The reductions of $45,000 and $43,000 for the Second 1996 Quarter and the
1996 Six-Month Period in interest expense reflect lower interest rates and 
interest income generated from the settlement proceeds.

     There was no change in the provision for local rent tax - an accrual of
$15,000 per quarter for each year.

     As a result of the foregoing, earnings from parking and service station
operations before the gain of $651,000 from the settlement and before provision
for income taxes were $1,198,000 and $1,249,000 for the Second 1996 Quarter and
the 1996 Six-Month Period, respectively, as compared to $482,000 and $734,000
for the corresponding 1995 periods.

     The lower provisions for income tax, 36.7% for the Second 1996 Quarter and
27.3% for the 1996 Six-Month Period, as compared with 48.5% and 51.8% for the
1995 three and six month periods, respectively, despite the materially greater
earnings are the result of a combination of the realization of an additional
$200,000 of the net deferred tax assets as of each of March 31, 1996 and June
30, 1996 and the large provision for income taxes for the 1995 periods,


                                       14

<PAGE>

principally the result of the exclusion of losses of approximately ($53,000) and
($108,00) for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively, from
the Canadian operations in the determination of the provision for income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     As of June 30, 1996 the Company had a working capital deficit of
($2,374,000), a slight increase from the working capital deficit of ($2,334,000)
as of December 31, 1995.

     The Company's Credit Agreement with its principal bank lender has been
amended several times to avoid or cure defaults in the agreement. A June 13,
1994 amendment, effective as of February 28, 1994, extended the maturity to June
30, 1995, increased the interest rate as of July 31, 1994 by 1/2% per annum,
modified the financial covenants as to the maintenance of minimum net worth,
total liabilities to net worth and operating cash flow to be in compliance with
the covenants as of February 28, 1994 and through June 13, 1994. On October 11,
1994, the Company's agreement was further amended to, among other things, extend
the maturity to May 31, 1997, increase the interest rate as of October 11, 1994
to prime plus 2%, modify certain financial covenants retroactive to August 31,
1994, and provide for the payment of an additional $50,000 fee to the lender.
The covenant modifications permitted the Company to comply with the covenants as
of August 31, 1994 and through May 1995. A further amendment was effected on
October 31, 1995 to provide more favorable terms with respect to principal,
interest payments and the financial covenants. The maturity dates of the
Facility I credit loan principal were extended to June 30, 1998 with respect to
$61,900, September 30, 1998 with respect to $150,000 and December 31, 1998 with
respect to the balance, which amounted to $11,518,208, and the quarterly
installment payment dates for the Facility II term loan in the aggregate
principal amount of $1,688,100 were deferred to the calendar quarters ending in
the period June 30, 1996 to June 30, 1998. The amendment provides for prepayment
of principal to the extent of 50% of the Company's cash flow above designated
levels and that commencing November 1, 1995 interest is to be paid at the rate
of 4% per annum, with the balance of the interest rate (the Bank's prime plus 2%
per annum) to be accrued but deferred. The portion deferred will be paid or
forgiven depending on the Company achieving reductions in its operating expenses
from those for the year ended December 31, 1994 as follows: if the amount of the
reduction as of December 31, 1995 is at least $500,000, the amounts deferred
during November and December 1995 will be forgiven; if the amount of the
reduction as of December 31, 1996 is at least $600,000, the amounts deferred
during 1996 will be forgiven; and if the amount of the reduction as of December
31, 1997 is at least $700,000, the amounts deferred during 1997 and 1998 will be
forgiven. The failure to achieve the designated level of reduction for any
period will result in the obligation to pay the amount deferred during the
applicable period at the end of such period. The Company achieved the targeted
reduction as of December 31, 1995 resulting in forgiveness of interest of
$145,000 for the two months ended December 31, 1995. The amounts of the deferral
for the Second 1996 Quarter and the 1996 Six-Month Period were $212,000 and
$422,000, respectively.

     On June 28, 1995, the Company borrowed $500,000 in the form of demand loans
from the Chairman and Assistant Chairman of the Company. The loans, which bear

                                       15
<PAGE>

interest at the equivalent rate to the Facility loan, were amended at, and as a
condition to, the execution of the October 31, 1995 amendment to the Credit
Agreement, to provide for deferral of the payment of principal and interest in
excess of 3.99% per annum until certain principal and interest payments are made
to the bank lender.

     The Company has borrowed as of July 31, 1996 $1,600,000 under a line of
credit from another bank pursuant to an agreement which in June 1996 was amended
to increase the facility from $1,000,000 to $1,750,000 and to extend the
expiration date to June 1, 1997.

     Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $2,780,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $444,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1995. The principal reasons for the improvement were the $1,028,000
increase in net earnings; the $81,000 increase in cash as compared with a
$1,222,000 decrease in cash due to deferred expenses, net, the result of rent
adjustments; the accrual of $422,000 of interest under the Company's principal
Credit Facility agreement which may be forgiven if a designated level of
operating economies is achieved for 1996; and the $311,000 increase in cash in
1996 as compared with a $191,000 decrease in cash in 1995 due to prepaid
expenses and other current assets, partially offset by the $400,000 realization
of the deferred tax asset.

     The $695,000 increase in net cash used in investing activities ($1,475,000
for the 1996 and $780,000 for the 1995 six month periods) reflects major lease
acquisitions and renewals and equipment costs. The Company anticipates capital
expenditures of approximately $4,500,000 for the six months ended December 31,
1996 of which $2,700,000 were expended in July 1996, principally in connection
with the new Rockefeller Center Garage lease and improvements and the
acquisition on July 31, 1996 of a building in New York City for $2,400,000, of
which $1,400,000 was paid in cash and $1,000,000 was represented by a purchase
money mortgage note. The Company intends to lease the building to a national
company pursuant to a multi-year net net lease.

     The $186,000 lower amount of net cash provided by financing activities
($434,000 vs. $630,000) was principally the result of $619,000 of net proceeds
of borrowings after payments and current maturities on long term debt for the
1995 six month period as compared with a net borrowing increase of $390,000 for
the 1996 six month period.

     As a result of the foregoing, the Company increased its cash balance by
$1,739,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996.

     As of August 1, 1996 the Company had borrowed the full amount under its
principal line of credit and all but $150,000 under its smaller but more recent
line of credit. It believes that the funds which are available from time to time
under the latter facility, additional mortgage loans with respect to properties
acquired or developed and funds generated from its operations will be sufficient
to finance its capital and operational requirements for the twelve months ended
June 30, 1997.
