                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                            JUNE 30, 1998 (UNAUDITED)
                              AND DECEMBER 31, 1997

THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NEW ACCOUNTING
PRONOUNCEMENTS

Mansur Industries Inc. (the "Company") is primarily engaged in marketing and
production of industrial parts cleaning equipment for use in automotive, marine,
aviation and general manufacturing industries. The Company's focus is on the
design, development and manufacture of industrial cleaning equipment which
incorporate continuous recycling and recovery technologies for solvents and
solutions, thereby reducing the need to replace and dispose of contaminated
solvents and solutions.

(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-QSB.
Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements are not included herein.
The interim condensed statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December
31, 1997.

Interim condensed statements are subject to possible adjustments in connection
with the annual audit of the Company's accounts for the full year 1998; in the
Company's opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of these
interim condensed statements have been included and are of a normal and
recurring nature.

(2) SUBORDINATED CONVERTIBLE NOTES

In February 1998, the Company consummated a private placement (the "Private
Placement") of $17.0 million in principal amount of 8 1/4% Subordinated
Convertible Notes due 2003 (the "Notes"). Interest on the Notes is payable
semi-annually and during the first two years is payable through the Company's
issuance of additional Notes and thereafter, at the election of the Company, is
payable either in cash or through the issuance of additional Notes. The Notes
are convertible by the holders thereof into shares of the Company's common
stock, $.001 par value (the "Common Stock"), at a conversion price equal to
$17.00 per share (the "Conversion Price") and automatically convert into shares
of Common Stock after February 23, 1999, if the closing price of the Common
Stock, as reported on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market (as defined herein), exceeds
175% of the Conversion Price for a period of twenty consecutive trading days,
including the twenty trading days immediately preceding February 23, 1999. The
Company may redeem the Notes after February 23, 2001 under certain
circumstances. The Company has used and will continue to use the proceeds of the
Private Placement to expand manufacturing operations, accelerate the development
of its direct marketing and distribution organization, and for working capital
and general corporate purposes.

(3) SIGNIFICANT COMMITMENTS

As of August 1, 1998 the Company had open purchase orders of approximately $2.5
million for component part inventory. This inventory will be used to build
finished goods inventory over approximately the next two quarters for resale to
potential customers.

(4) NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS
No. 130"), which establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components (revenue, expenses, gains, and losses)
in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. This statement requires
that all items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as
components of comprehensive income, be reported in a financial statement that is
displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. This statement
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company
adopted SFAS No. 130 during the three months ended March 31, 1998 and determined
that there is no material impact to the Company's converse financial statements
and notes thereto.

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS No. 131"). This Statement supersedes
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 14 and parts of various other
statements and provides accounting guidance for reporting information about
operating segments in annual financial statements by public business enterprises
and requires such enterprises to report selected information about operating
segments in interim financial reports. The Statement uses a "management
approach" to identify operating segments. Reportable segments are operating
segments that meet specified quantitative thresholds. The statement also uses a
"management approach" for determining some of the information required to be
disclosed. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1997. The Company adopted SFAS No. 131 during the three months ended March
31, 1998 and determined that there is no material impact to the Company's
converse financial statements and notes thereto.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"), which establishes standards for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts and for hedging activities. This statement requires that an
entity recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. If
certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as (a) a
hedge or the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or
liability or an unrecognized firm commitment, (b) a hedge or the exposure to
variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction, or (c) a hedge of the foreign
currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation, an unrecognized
firm commitment, an available-for-sale security, or a
foreign-currency-denominated forecasted transaction. The accounting for changes
in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative
and the resulting designation. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters
of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company does not believe that
the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will have a material impact to the Company's
financial statements and notes thereto.

In April 1998, the AICPA Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued
Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities"
("SOP 98-5"). The SOP requires that costs incurred during start-up activities,
including organization costs, be expensed as incurred. SOP 98-5 is effective for
financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. Initial
application of the SOP should be as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which
the SOP is first adopted and should be reported as the cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle as described in Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 20, "Accounting Changes". The Company does not believe that the
adoption of SOP 98-5 will have a material impact to the Company's financial
statements and notes thereto.

In March 1998, the AICPA Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued
Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" (SOP 98-1). The SOP provides guidance
for determining what is "internal-use" software and requires that certain costs
incurred in the Application Development Stage (design of chosen path, coding,
installation to hardware, and testing) be capitalized. The SOP identifies the
costs of the Application Development Stage to be capitalized as external direct
costs of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining internal use
software, payroll and


<PAGE>

payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with and who
devote time to the internal-use software project, and interest cost in
accordance with SFAS Statement No. 34, "Capitalization of Interest Cost." The
SOP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. Initial
application should be as of the beginning of the fiscal year and applied to
costs incurred for all projects during that fiscal year, including projects in
progress upon initial application of the SOP. The Company does not believe that
the adoption of SOP 98-1 will have a material impact to the Company's financial
statements and notes thereto.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
condensed Financial Statements, including the notes thereto, contained elsewhere
in this 10-QSB and the Company's Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997.

GENERAL

The Company was incorporated in November 1990 and, as a development stage
company, devoted substantially all of its resources to research and development
programs related to its full line of self contained, recycling industrial parts
washers until June 1996. The Company commenced its planned principal operations
in July 1996.

Since July 1996, the Company has made its SystemOne(R)Washer and services
available to the public through a third party leasing program and through direct
sale of the equipment. Under the third party leasing program, the Company
recognizes revenue from the sale of parts washers at the time the equipment is
delivered by the Company. In general, the revenue recognized approximates the
discounted present value of the payment stream related to the underlying lease.

In January 1997, following a four-month test program, the Company entered into a
sales representative agreement with First Recovery, an affiliate of Ashland,
Inc. (the "Representation Agreement") pursuant to which First Recovery served as
the Company's exclusive distributor of the SystemOne/registered trademark/
Washers in 21 metropolitan areas. The Representation Agreement replaced the
Company's original limited pilot program with First Recovery covering the Dallas
and Houston, Texas markets.

In December 1997, the Company entered into a Purchase and Distribution Agreement
with First Recovery (the "Purchase and Distribution Agreement"), which agreement
replaced the Representation Agreement and extended the exclusive distribution
relationship of the parties in a limited territory through June 1998. Although
the Company intends to continue to evaluate and discuss a long-term distribution
agreement or other strategic alliance with First Recovery or other strategic
partner, the Company's immediate focus is on the completion of the development
of its direct marketing and distribution organization. There can be no assurance
that the Company will have any continuing relationship with First Recovery.

Pursuant to the Purchase and Distribution Agreement, First Recovery was granted
the exclusive right to purchase SystemOne/registered trademark/ Washers from the
Company and market and distribute such products through sale or lease in a
territory consisting of 21 major metropolitan markets throughout the United
States and to national customers operating in more than one state and in more
than fifteen locations. Within the State of Florida, during the term of the
Purchase and Distribution Agreement, First Recovery had the right to solicit
sales of SystemOne(R) Washers on behalf of the Company as a commissioned sales
agent only.

In an effort to enhance long-term profitability, preserve strategic
opportunities and maximize value for its shareholders, in November 1997, the
Company announced plans to develop a direct marketing and distribution
organization for its SystemOne(R) product line. The Company is currently in the
process of ramping up its direct marketing and distribution capabilities and
expects that the investment in its direct distribution infrastructure will
result in a long-term operating strategy that maximizes market share through
aggressive factory direct


<PAGE>

pricing and increased operating profits. No assurance can be given that the
Company's efforts in establishing direct marketing and distribution capabilities
will be completed, or if completed, will be successful.

During the period from July 1996 through June 30 1998, the Company had sold
approximately 4,300 SystemOne(R) Washers, 3,255 units of which were purchased by
First Recovery for sale to third parties.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997

Revenues decreased by $101,000 to $1,244,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1998 compared to $1,345,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997.

Cost of goods sold increased by $5,000 to $864,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1998 compared to $859,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997. As
a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold represented 69.5% and 63.9% for
the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30,
1998 were $2,625,000, an increase of $1,974,000 compared to selling, general and
administrative expenses of $651,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997.
The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily the
result of the hiring of additional personnel in connection with the Company's
ramping up of its direct marketing and distribution capabilities, establishment
of distribution centers and the implementation of additional manufacturing
capacity in order to support the Company's increased production. At June 30,
1998, the Company had established approximately 50 distribution centers.

The Company's research and development expenses increased by $82,000 from
$26,000 during the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $108,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1998. The increase was primarily the result of the hiring
of additional engineering personnel during the three months ended June 30, 1998.

The Company recognized net interest income (expense), net of $(243,000) for the
three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to interest income (expense), net of
$46,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The interest income for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 was primarily due to the investment of the
proceeds from the Company's IPO. The interest expense for the three months ended
June 30, 1998 was primarily due to the interest accrued from the Company's
private placement (the "Private Placement") of $17.0 million Subordinated
Convertible Notes (the "Notes") consummated in February 1998.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company incurred net losses to common shares
of $2,596,000 and $145,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997

Revenues increased by $28,000 to $2,526,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1998 compared to $2,498,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.

Cost of goods sold increased by $306,000 to $1,913,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 compared to $1,607,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. As
a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold represented 75.7% and 64.3% for
the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30,
1998 were $4,365,000, an increase of $3,159,000 compared to selling, general and
administrative expenses of $1,206,000 for the six


<PAGE>

months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in selling, general and administrative
expenses was primarily the result of the hiring of additional personnel in
connection with the Company's ramping up of its direct marketing and
distribution capabilities, establishment of support centers and the leasing of
additional manufacturing capacity in order to support the Company's increased
production. At June 30, 1998, the Company had established approximately 50
distribution centers.

The Company's research and development expenses decreased by $31,000 from
$179,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $148,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1998. The decrease was primarily the result of ongoing
engineering during 1997.

The Company recognized net interest income (expense), net of $(337,000) for the
six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to interest income (expense), net of
$105,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The interest income for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 was primarily due to the investment of the proceeds
from the Company's IPO. The interest expense for the six months ended June 30,
1998 was primarily due to the interest accrued from the Company's Private
Placement of $17.0 million Subordinated Convertible Notes consummated in
February 1998.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company incurred net losses to common shares
of $4,237,000 and $389,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 1998, the Company had working capital of $15,216,000 and cash and
cash equivalents of $13,404,000.

The Company's primary sources of working capital are the net proceeds from the
Company's Private Placement of Notes consummated in February 1998 and IPO
consummated in October 1996, a receivables factoring arrangement entered into in
November 1997 and its lease financing arrangement with First Sierra.

In February 1998, the Company consummated the Private Placement of Notes
generating net proceeds of approximately $15.7 million. Interest on the Notes
is payable semi-annually  and during the first two years is payable through the
Company's issuance of additional Notes and thereafter, at the election of the
Company, is payable either in cash or through the issuance of additional Notes.
The Notes are convertible by the holders thereof into shares of Common Stock at
a Conversion Price of $17.00 per share. The Notes automatically convert into
shares of Common Stock after February 23, 1999, if the closing price of the
Common Stock, as reported on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, exceeds 175% of the
Conversion Price for a period of twenty consecutive trading days, including the
twenty trading days immediately preceding to February 23, 1999. The Company may
redeem the Notes after February, 2001, under certain circumstances. The Company
has used and will continue to use the proceeds of the Private Placement to
expand manufacturing operations, accelerate the development of its direct
marketing and distribution organization, and for working capital and general
corporate purposes.

In November 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party
providing for the factoring of the Company's accounts receivable (the "Factoring
Agreement"). Pursuant to the Factoring Agreement, the Company effectively
assigned all eligible receivables due from First Recovery to the third party for
a period of six months. The Company may borrow up to 70% of all eligible
receivables. In connection with this factoring relationship, the Company is
required to pay a semi-annual commission in an amount equal to the greater of
0.5% of all factored receivables or $12,000. Any borrowings by the Company
against eligible accounts receivable bear interest at a per annum rate equal to
the greater of 9% or prime plus 1%.

The Company's material financial commitments relate principally to its
obligations to make lease payments


<PAGE>

pursuant to certain real property and equipment leases (currently approximately
$134,000 per month), and installment payments for manufacturing equipment
(currently approximately $17,132 per month). The Company anticipates that its
material commitments will increase significantly over the next 12 months in
connection with the Company's continued expansion and development of direct
marketing and distribution capabilities.

In 1997, the Company planned to purchase a software upgrade which would bring
the system into compliance with the Year 2000. The plan provides for the upgrade
efforts to be completed by the end of 1998. The year 2000 issue is the result of
computer programs being written using two digits rather than four to define the
applicable year. The total cost of the project is estimated to be approximately
$45,000 and is being funded through operating cash flows. The Company will
capitalize the software upgrade costs associated with these systems changes and
expense any training and consulting costs as they are incurred. As of June 30,
1998 $0 had been expensed.

Capital requirements relating to the implementation of the Company's business
plan, including the development of its direct marketing and distribution
infrastructure, have been and will continue to be significant. The Company
believes that its ability to generate cash from operations is dependent upon,
among other things, increased demand for its products and services and the
successful development of direct marketing and distribution capabilities. In
order to reduce certain of the Company's up-front capital requirements
associated with manufacturing operations as well as distribution center and
service fleet development, the Company leases and intends to continue to lease
rather than purchase, to the extent possible, equipment and vehicles. There can
be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient capital resources to
permit the Company to continue implementation of its business plan. Since its
inception, the Company has financed its operations through a number of stock and
debt issuances and conversions.

The Company believes, based on currently proposed plans and assumptions relating
to its operations, that the proceeds from the Private Placement and the
Company's existing financing arrangements, together with cash flow from
operations will be sufficient to satisfy its cash requirements for a period of
at least 12 months from the date of the Private Placement. In the event that the
Company's plans change, its assumptions change or prove to be inaccurate or the
proceeds from the Private Placement or available financing arrangements prove to
be insufficient to fund the Company's rapid expansion and development efforts,
the Company would be required to seek additional sources of financing. There can
be no assurance that any additional financing will be available to the Company
on acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available, the
Company's business operations could be materially adversely affected.

As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, as of June 30, 1998, the
Company's accumulated deficit totaled $10,156,000.

The Company's cash and cash equivalents balance increased by $11,161,000 from
$2,243,000 as of December 31, 1997 to $13,404,000 as of June 30, 1998, primarily
due to the proceeds from the Private Placement. Since the Company commenced the
sale of its products, the Company has experienced negative cash flow from
operations.

 CAUTIONARY STATEMENT RELATING TO FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS.

The foregoing Management's Discussion and Analysis contains various "forward
looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, which represent the Company's expectations or beliefs concerning future
events, including, but not limited to, statements regarding growth in sales of
the Company's products and the sufficiency of the Company's cash flow for its
future liquidity and capital resource needs. These forward looking statements
are further qualified by important factors that could cause actual events to
differ materially from those in such forward looking statements. These factors
include, without limitation, increased competition, the sufficiency of the
Company's patents, the ability of the Company to manufacture its systems

on a cost effective basis, market acceptance of the Company's products and the
effects of governmental regulation. Results actually achieved may differ
materially from expected results included in these statements as a result of
these or other factors.

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

In February 1998, the Company consummated the Private Placement of Notes
generating net proceeds of approximately $15.7 million. At June 30, 1998, the
Company used approximately $2.6 million of the net proceeds from the Private
Placement to finance the loss the Company incurred for the three months ended
June 30, 1998 of approximately $2.6 million. The Company has used and will
continue to use the proceeds of the Private Placement to expand manufacturing
operations, accelerate the development of its direct marketing and distribution
organization, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
