NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1997
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included. Operating results for the three months or six months ended
June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for the year ending December 31, 1997. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.
Certain 1996 financial information contained herein has been reclassified to
conform with the 1997 presentation.
2. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Earnings (loss) per share have been computed based on the weighted average
number of shares outstanding as well as the dilutive effect of outstanding
options and warrants during the periods presented.
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which is required to be adopted for the
Company's year ending December 31, 1997. At that time, the Company will be
required to change the method currently used to compute earnings per share and
to restate all prior periods. Under the new requirements for calculating primary
earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants will be
excluded. The impact upon adoption is expected to result in an increase in
primary earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 1997 of $.01 to
$.31 and no change for the second quarter ended June 30, 1997, and is expected
to have no material impact for the six months and quarter ended June 30, 1996.
The impact of Statement 128 on the calculation of fully diluted earnings per
share for all periods presented is not expected to be material.

On June 4, 1997, the prior $13,400,000 of outstanding Resource Recovery
Revenue Bonds for Timber Energy together with accrued interest were
retired from the proceeds of $13,736,161 of Series 1997A and 1997B Resource
Recovery Revenue Bonds.
5. PREFERRED STOCK
On June 4, 1997, the Company consummated the private placement of 487,500
shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred")
for gross proceeds of $3,900,000. The Series A Preferred is convertible into
shares of the Company's common stock, no par value (the "Common Stock"), at a
price of $8.00 per share, subject to adjustment, and may be redeemed at $12.00
per share, subject to adjustment. Purchasers of the shares of Series A Preferred
also received, in the aggregate, warrants to purchase 243,750 shares of Common
Stock at $9.00 per share and warrants to purchase 32,500 shares of Common Stock
at $10.00 per share.
6. CONTINGENCIES
The Company is a defendant in certain lawsuits alleging various claims
incurred in the ordinary course of business. Management of the Company does not
believe that the outcome of these matters, individually or in the aggregate,
will have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, cash flows, or
results of operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
REVENUES
Electric power revenues increased by $919,000 or 18.8% for the quarter
ended June 30, 1997 and decreased by $1,006,000 or 8.2% for the six months ended
June 30, 1997. Maine Energy Recovery Company restructured its Power Purchase
Agreement ("PPA") on May 3, 1996, which resulted in a contract rate reduction
from 16.3(cent) per kilowatt to 7.18(cent) per kilowatt effective that date.
Electrical generation at Maine Energy decreased by 1.3% and 2.9% for the quarter
and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, compared with the same period
in 1996. The Maine Energy electric rate effective January 1, 1997 increased to
7.35(cent) per kilowatt. These net decreases were further offset by increased
amortization of $1,227,500 and $2,165,000 of the deferred revenue associated
with the PPA restructuring and electric power revenues from Timber Energy of
$1,179,000 and $2,522,000 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997,
respectively. Timber Energy was acquired November 22, 1996.
Revenues from the gain on sale of capacity for the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 1996 were a result of the restructuring of the Maine Energy PPA
on May 3, 1996.
Revenues from waste processing increased $1,228,000 or 64% for the quarter
ended June 30, 1997 and by $2,291,000 or 57.2% for the six months ended June 30,
1997 as compared to the same periods in 1996. The increase for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 resulted from a 136% increase in specialty waste processed
which increased revenue by $114,000; SEMCO revenues of $187,000 from 6,000 tons
of waste delivered; and $1,929,000 of revenues from tipping and processing fees
at Timber Energy. SEMCO and Timber Energy were formed or acquired after the
second quarter of 1996. Maine Energy revenues from waste processing increased
$22,000 and $47,000 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997. The
increase is principally from a 2,819 and 5,954 increase in tons of waste
processed offset by a $1.57 and $1.33 decrease in average tipping fee per ton
for the quarter and six months resulting from a reduction in the charter and
host communities tipping fees as required upon the retirement of the $64,500,000
in bonds at Maine Energy.
Other materials handling revenues increased $1,611,000 or 91.6% for the
quarter and $4,031,000 or 162.9% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as
compared to the same period for 1996. The increase for the six months ended June
30, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996 is principally from an increase
in revenues at KTI Bio Fuels of $475,000 as a result of improved weather
conditions in Maine during the winter months allowing for increased tonnage; an
increase of $412,000 in ash recycling revenues resulting from an additional
51,000 tons of ash processed at the Nashville, Tennessee facility; and from
revenues generated by Manner Resins of $3,144,000. Manner Resins was acquired on
November 24, 1996. AAR of Tennessee was acquired during the second quarter of
1996.
COSTS AND EXPENSES
Electric power and waste handling operating costs increased by $1,260,000
or 14.2% for the quarter and $3,516,000 or 22.9% for the six months ended June
30, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996. The increase for the quarter
ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996 is principally due to
revenues generated by Manner of $1,871,000. The increase for the quarter is
largely attributable to the operating costs of the newly acquired entities of
Timber Energy and Manner Resins; which had combined operating expenses of
$2,731,000 and $5,713,000, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
These increases were offset by decreases at Maine Energy, where operating costs
were decreased by approximately $850,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997
under the new operating strategy as a result of the restructured PPA with
Central Maine Power and depreciation and amortization decreases of $1,256,000
primarily as a result of changes in useful lives at the plant and write off of
deferred financing costs as a result of the retirement of the $64,500,000 in
bonds.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $204,000 or
17.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 and decreased by $172,000 or 8.5% for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the six months ended June 30,
1996. The decrease in the quarter and six months are primarily attributable to
reductions in corporate staff.
INTEREST AND OTHER ITEMS
Interest expense decreased $619,200 or 50.8% for the quarter and
$2,183,000 or 67.0% for the six months ended June 30, 1997; principally because
of the retirement of $64,500,00 of the Maine Energy bonds and related letter of
credit, decrease in subordinated debt of $29,500,000 on May 3, 1996, and
aggressive debt reduction during the first six months of 1997.
The decrease in minority interest of $16,545,000 and $17,021,000 for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the same period in
1996, principally resulted from the minority interest share of Maine Energy's
gain from sale of capacity during 1996.
Extraordinary item of $2,247,000 for the quarter and six months ended June
30, 1996 resulted from the early retirement of the $64,500,000 Biddeford Bonds
at Maine Energy, net of minority interest.
Equity in the net income of PERC increased by $55,000 or 51.3% and $85,000
or 64% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the
same period in 1996 due to increased net income at PERC. The Company's ownership
interest in PERC is 7%.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company is a holding company and receives cash flow from its
subsidiaries. Receipt of cash flow from its affiliate PERC is currently
restricted by covenants under loan agreements, distribution restrictions under
partnership agreements with its equity investors, and put-or-pay agreements with
municipalities. Cash flow from Timber Energy is also restricted by covenants
under loan agreements. Maine Energy's cash flow is required to retire the
remaining outstanding balance of $15,394,000 of subordinated notes payable as of
June 30, 1997 before partners cash distributions can begin; however, the Company
is not obligated to pay any minimum amounts on such subordinated debt. As a
result, the following discussion is organized to present liquidity and capital
resources of the Company separate from Maine Energy, PERC and Timber Energy and
liquidity and capital resources of each of Maine Energy, PERC and Timber Energy
independently.
THE COMPANY
Through March 31, 1997, the Company has accumulated management fees
receivable from PERC in the amount of $1,935,086. These fees are payable by PERC
only out of cash flow after all current operating costs and debt service
payments of the project. PERC has significant restrictions on the amount of
cash flow that can be distributed to the Company. Also, management fees are
only paid annually and only if the partnership meets certain operating results
set forth in its loan documents.
The Company has pledged to ENI, the other general partner of PERC, a
portion of the Company's share of PERC management fees as a means of repaying a
$1,693,000 advance ENI made on the Company's behalf to PERC to cover the
Company's additional partnership capital requirement in 1989. While no assurance
can be given, based upon current conditions, management of the Company expects
annual management fees to be received on a current basis and accrued management
fees from prior years to be paid from PERC's distributable cash flow as the
project continues its recent trend of distribution of cash to its partners. The
future operating results of PERC will determine the exact term over which the
accrued management fees will be received by the Company. During 1996, the
Company received $691,442 in current and accrued management fees on account of
1995 operations of which $298,311 was paid to ENI. The Company also received
cash from PERC during May, 1997 on account of
9
<PAGE> 11
1996 operations of $686,363 of which $389,381 was paid to ENI. As of June 30,
1997, the Company owed ENI $964,098.
Since February 28, 1991, the Company has been receiving operating and
management fees from Maine Energy on a current basis. During 1996 the Company
received $548,080 for operating and management fees from Maine Energy on account
of 1996 operations. The Company also received $857,534 for accrued management
fees through February 28, 1990. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the
Company received $286,500 for operating and management fees from Maine Energy.
On June 4, 1997, the Company consummated the private placement of
$487,500 shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A
Preferred") for gross proceeds of $3,900,000. The Series A Preferred is
convertible into shares of the Company's common stock, no par value (the
"Common Stock"), at a price of $8.00 per share, subject to adjustment, and
may be redeemed at $12.00 per share, subject to adjustment. Purchasers of the
shares of Series A Preferred also received, in the aggregate, warrants to
purchase 243,750 shares of Common Stock at $9.00 per share and warrants to
purchase 32,500 shares of Common Stock at $10.00 per share.
The Company has financed its operations and capital expenditures primarily
from cash flow from its subsidiaries which are not contractually restricted from
making distributions, collateralized equipment financing, unsecured subordinated
debt, drawings under its lines of credit and proceeds from the sale of the
Company's preferred and common stock.
The Company and its subsidiaries, other than Maine Energy, PERC and Timber
Energy, at June 30, 1997 had indebtedness maturing in the next year of
$1,711,600. During the first six months of 1997, the Company, other than Maine
Energy, PERC and Timber Energy, incurred additional debt of approximately
$544,000, primarily as a result of drawings under its lines of credit, and
retired approximately $3,600,000 of debt.
As of June 30, 1997, the Company had cash on hand without regard to Maine
Energy, PERC and Timber Energy of approximately $1,123,500 and $1,180,000
available in lines of credit from a bank. On July 14, 1997 the bank committed to
increase the Company's line of credit to $6,000,000. The increased line is
expected to be available to the Company during August, 1997. Also, on August 12,
1997 the Company completed a sale of $21,000,000 of Series B Convertible
Exchangeable Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred has an 8.75% dividend
(payable quarterly in arrears in cash) and converts into common stock at the
holders option at $11.75 per share. Management of the Company believes that cash
flow from its subsidiaries and affiliates, the sale of preferred stock and
unused lines of credit will meet its current needs for liquidity. Moreover,
management believes that the Company has the ability to access additional
borrowing facilities if needed, although no assurance can be given in this
regard.
MAINE ENERGY
During the last three years Maine Energy has financed its operations and
capital expenditures from cash flows from operations. Cash provided by
operations was $89,259,000 in 1996, as compared to $8,987,000 in 1995. During
1996 Maine Energy sold its generating capacity to CL One for a period through
May 31, 2007. In exchange CL One has agreed to make a series of quarterly
payments to Maine Energy including an initial payment of $85 million. Maine
Energy capital expenditures were $2,939,000 and $2,121,000 for additions to
property, plant and equipment during 1996 and 1995, respectively.
During May 1996, Maine Energy retired the entire outstanding principal
balance of $64.5 million of its tax exempt variable rate revenue bonds and $29.5
million of its subordinated loan accrued interest and principal from the
proceeds from the sale of capacity.
As of June 30, 1997, in addition to Maine Energy's operating cash of
$936,000, Maine Energy, as required under the terms of the credit agreement with
its letter of credit, has on account an additional $7,442,000 of reserves to be
used for capital improvements, debt service, operating shortfalls and working
capital requirements.

Management of the Company believes Maine Energy has adequate cash
resources available to fund its future operations and anticipated capital
expenditures. Capital expenditures for Maine Energy for the year ending December
31, 1997 are expected to be approximately $2,581,000, which has principally been
set aside in the above mentioned reserves accounts.
PERC
PERC has financed its recent operations and capital expenditures primarily
by cash flow from operations. Cash provided by operations was $8,493,000 in 1996
as compared to $10,328,000 in 1995. PERC's capital expenditures were $1,192,000
and $1,172,000 for additions to property, plant and equipment during 1996 and
1995, respectively.
At June 30, 1997, PERC had outstanding tax-exempt, variable rate revenue
bonds backed by bank letters of credit in the aggregate amounts of $50,300,000.
The variable interest rate on the Orrington Bonds at June 30, 1997 was 3.5%. The
bonds are payable pursuant to a schedule through May 2003. During the first six
months of 1997 PERC made principal payments to bondholders of $3,200,000.
As of June 30, 1997, in addition to PERC's operating cash of $3,166,000,
PERC, as required under the terms of the credit agreement with its letter of
credit banks and the trust indenture governing the Orrington Bonds, had on
account an additional $9,273,000 of cash reserves to be used for capital
improvements, debt service, operating shortfalls and working capital
requirements.
Company management believes PERC has adequate cash resources available to
fund its current project operations and currently anticipated capital
expenditures. PERC plans capital expenditures for the year ending December 31,
1997 of approximately $782,000. PERC intends to finance the requirements through
cash flow from operations.
TIMBER ENERGY
Timber Energy has financed its operations and capital expenditures
primarily from cash flow since it was acquired on November 22, 1996. Cash
provided by operations during the six months ended June 30, 1997 was
approximately $1,250,000. Timber Energy, during the second quarter, completed a
month long shutdown and retrofit to complete an extensive overhaul of its boiler
and turbine generator. Costs associated with the shutdown and retrofit, which
were all of Timber's anticipated capital expenditures for 1997, totaled
approximately $1,200,000. All of these costs were paid out of cash flow from
operations and cash reserves held specifically for this retrofit.
The Company was required to obtain the release of CNA's reimbursement
obligation to Bank of Montreal as part of the Company's purchase agreement with
CNA when Timber Energy was acquired on November 22, 1996. On June 4, 1997, the
outstanding bonds, together with accrued interest and associated closing costs
including an additional debt service reserve of $1,340,000 were paid or retired
from the proceeds of $13,736,000 of Series 1997A and 1997B bonds and from cash
totaling $993,000 provided by the Company.
As of June 30, 1997, Timber Energy has outstanding tax exempt bonds with a
fixed interest rate of 7% in the aggregate amount of $13,736,000. The bonds are
payable pursuant to a mandatory redemption schedule through December 1, 2002.
As of June 30, 1997, in addition to Timber's operating cash of $695,000,
Timber, as required by the terms of the refinancing, had an additional
$1,525,000 of cash reserves to be used for debt service.
Company management believes Timber Energy has adequate cash resources
available to fund its current operations. No significant additional capital
expenditures are anticipated for 1997.
