                                      EMCON

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


1.   Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying  consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
     the Company and its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  after  elimination  of all
     significant intercompany accounts and transactions.

     While the financial information is unaudited, the statements in this report
     reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring, that are necessary
     for a fair  presentation  of the  results  of  operations  for the  interim
     periods covered and of the financial  condition of the Company at the dates
     of the balance  sheets.  The  operating  results  for the  interim  periods
     presented  are not  necessarily  indicative of  performance  for the entire
     year.

     These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the
     Company's  consolidated  financial  statements  for the  fiscal  year ended
     December 31, 1995.

2.   Restructuring Charges

     In  December  1994,  as a result  of  changes  in  senior  management,  the
     Company's Board of Directors approved a corporate  restructuring plan which
     included the write off of  employment  contracts  with no current or future
     value,  termination  of personnel,  and the  elimination  or abandonment of
     excess and underperforming assets and facilities.  During the quarter ended
     March 31, 1996,  $37,000 of cash charges related to the restructuring  were
     incurred and charged  against the established  reserve.  At March 31, 1996,
     $115,000 of accrued  restructuring  costs were  included  in other  accrued
     liabilities.   To-date,  $1,049,000  of  restructuring  charges  have  been
     incurred.

3.   On February 29, 1996,  EMCON acquired all of the outstanding  capital stock
     of  Organic  Waste   Technologies,   Inc.,   ("OWT"),   a  Cleveland  based
     construction,   equipment  and  operations  and  maintenance  company  with
     significant expertise in solid waste management.  The Company purchased OWT
     for  $14,039,000  in cash plus the  issuance of  convertible  notes held by
     certain  senior  OWT  management  in  the  aggregate  principal  amount  of
     $1,747,000 and other direct  acquisition  costs of $77,000.  The notes bear
     interest at the rate of 8% per annum with all  principal due and payable in
     full on March 1, 2001. The notes may be converted into shares of OWT common
     stock upon an  underwritten  public  offering of OWT's  common  stock in an
     amount  in  excess of  $10,000,000.  In the  event the notes  have not been
     converted  into OWT shares,  they may instead be  converted  into shares of
     EMCON common stock for a period of ninety days after  November 30, 2001, at
     a conversion price of $6.50 per share.

     The Company is still in the process of  performing a final  analysis of the
     value  and  life  of all  OWT  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed.
     Accordingly,  the balance sheet  reflects a  preliminary  allocation of the
     purchase  price  which is  subject  to  change.  Based on this  preliminary
     allocation,  the Company has  included  intangible  assets and  goodwill of


                                       6


     approximately   $11,966,000  resulting  from  the  acquisition  of  OWT  in
     intangible  assets on the balance  sheet,  which  amounts will be amortized
     over periods not to exceed thirty years.

     The following  summarizes  the unaudited pro forma net revenue,  net income
     (loss),  and income (loss) per share for the combined company for the three
     month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 had the acquisition occurred at
     the beginning of each period presented.

     The above  proforma  results of  operations  do not  purport to reflect the
     actual  results of operations had the Company  actually  acquired OWT as of
     the beginning of the period presented.

4.       Credit Agreement

     In  conjunction  with the  acquisition  of OWT, the Company  entered into a
     $20,000,000  secured credit  agreement with its existing  commercial  bank,
     replacing its previous $10,000,000  unsecured line of credit. Under the new
     agreement,  the Company  borrowed  $10,000,000 on a loan term basis with an
     interest  rate not to exceed the prime rate.  Principal  is to be amortized
     over seven  years,  but with any unpaid  amount  finally due and payable on
     June 30, 2001.  The  remaining  $10,000,000  under the credit  agreement is
     available on a line of credit basis for working  capital  purposes (with up
     to  $5,000,000  available  for  non-working  purposes).  The line of credit
     component of the credit agreement expires on May 31, 1997.

 5.  Litigation

     As a professional services firm engaged in  environmental-related  matters,
     the  Company   encounters   potential   liability,   including  claims  for
     significant  environmental  damage in the normal  course of  business.  The
     Company is party to lawsuits and is aware of potential  exposure related to
     certain  claims,  but in the opinion of management  the resolution of these
     matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's  financial
     position, results of operations or cash flows.

6.   Income Per Share

     Income  per share is based on the  weighted  average  number of common  and
     dilutive common equivalent  shares  outstanding using the modified treasury
     stock method for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.

7.   Other

     In 1994, the Company converted to a fifty-two/fifty-three  week fiscal year
     which will result in a fifty-three  week year in 1996.  The Company's  year
     end falls on the Friday  closest to the last day of the calendar  year. The
     Company  also  follows  a   five-four-four   week  quarterly   cycle.   For
     convenience,  the  accompanying  financial  statements  have been  shown as
     ending on the last day of the calendar period.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net revenues for the first quarter of 1996 totalled  $24,607,000,  including net
revenues of $1,675,000  contributed by OWT following its acquisition on February
29, 1996.  Excluding OWT, net revenue for the quarter  totalled  $22,932,000;  a
12.7%  decrease  compared with  $26,276,000  for the first quarter of 1995.  The
decrease in net revenue was  attributable,  in part, to  particularly  difficult
weather  conditions in the Northeast and Northwest  areas;  with virtually every
office in these areas  experiencing the loss of two to three productive days due
to  inclement   weather.   The  decrease  was  also   attributable   to  general
underperformance  of the Company's  Consulting and  Laboratory  Divisions in the
Alaska and Washington  state markets  combined with a decrease due to the recent
reductions in work force in the first quarter of 1996.

Direct  expenses for the first  quarter of 1996 totalled  $9,689,000,  including
direct  expenses from OWT of $1,145,000.  Excluding OWT, direct expenses for the
quarter totalled  $8,544,000;  a 14.4% decrease compared with $9,986,000 for the
first  quarter  of 1995.  Excluding  OWT,  direct  expenses  as a percent of net
revenue  decreased to 37.3% in the first quarter of 1996 from 38.0% in the first
quarter of 1995.  This  decrease  was  primarily  due to a  reduction  in direct
materials  as a  percent  of total  direct  expenses.  Direct  expenses  include
compensation for billable hours for technical and  professional  staff and other
project related expenses and direct labor and materials for laboratory testing.

Indirect expenses for the first quarter of 1996 totalled $14,799,000,  including
indirect expenses from OWT of $340,000. Excluding OWT, indirect expenses for the
quarter totalled $14,459,000;  an 8.3% decrease compared with $15,762,000 in the
first  quarter  of  1995.   Indirect  expenses  include  nonbillable  hours  for
professional,  technical and  administrative  staff, and general  administrative
expenses such as rent,  bonuses,  benefits,  insurance,  legal and depreciation.
Excluding OWT,  indirect expenses as a percent of net revenue increased to 63.1%
from 60.0% for the period  ending  March 31,  1996 and 1995,  respectively.  The
increase  was  principally  due to  higher  start up costs  associated  with the
expansion of the Company's  Operations and Construction  Division ("EOC").  This
increase  was  offset in part by  certain  prior  reductions  in work  force and
continued implementation of administrative cost containment measures.

Income from operations  decreased to $119,000 for the first quarter of 1996 from
$528,000 for the quarter  ended March 31, 1995.  Income from  operations  in the
first quarter of 1995 included  approximately  $250,000 directly attributable to
the sale of proprietary technology.

The Company recorded interest expense,  net of interest income of $22,000 in the
first  quarter  of 1996  compared  to net  interest  income  of  $59,000  in the
comparable  quarter last year. The net decrease was  attributable to an increase
in the Company's long term indebtedness (including assumption of the outstanding
OWT convertible notes and other  project/equipment  related indebtedness and the
$10,000,000  loan  undertaken  to  partially  fund the OWT  acquisition),  and a
reduction in the Company's  cash available for investment as a result of the OWT
acquisition.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During  the  first  quarter  of  1996,  the  Company   financed  its  operations
principally  from cash and  marketable  securities  on hand,  cash  generated by
operations,  and from the return on investment on its cash, cash equivalents and
marketable  securities.  Net cash used by operations during the first quarter of
1996 was $198,000.  At March 31, 1996, the Company had cash and cash equivalents
of $5,520,000.

The Company invested  $621,000 for the purchase of property and equipment in the
first quarter of 1996, primarily for computers and communication  systems and to
a lesser extent, for laboratory  equipment.  In conjunction with the acquisition
of OWT, the Company entered into a $20,000,000 secured credit agreement with its
existing commercial bank, replacing its previous  $10,000,000  unsecured line of
credit. Under the new agreement, the Company borrowed $10,000,000 on a term loan
basis with interest at a variable rate,  generally not to exceed the prime rate.
Principal  is to be  amortized  over seven  years,  but with any  unpaid  amount
finally due and payable on June 30, 2001.  The remaining  $10,000,000  under the
credit  agreement is  available  on a line of credit  basis for working  capital
purposes  (with  up to  $5,000,000  of this  amount  also  being  available  for
non-working  capital  purposes).  The line of  credit  component  of the  credit
agreement expires on May 31, 1997.

The Company  believes that cash generated from operations and its available bank
line,  together  with  existing  cash,  will be sufficient to meet the Company's
capital needs for at least the next twelve months.
