SOLUCORP INDUSTRIES LTD.
Notes to Financial Statements
Three and Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 1998 & 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Significant Accounting Policies
a) Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada, which differ
in some respects from those in the United States. Except as disclosed
in note 22, no differences have been reported as they are not
considered significant.
b) Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its subsidiaries. At June 30, 1998 the Company's
subsidiaries and its percentage equity interest in each are as
follows:
ESM Industries (Canada) Inc. 100%
World Travel Plazas Inc. 100%
World Tec Equities Inc. 100%
EPS Environmental, Inc. 100%
Environmental Training Institute Inc.
(incorporated in the US) 100%
c) Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of balance sheet classification and the statements of
cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments
purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
d) Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
e) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, loans and other receivables,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities and loans payable approximate
fair market value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of
these financial accounts. The fair values of the long-term investments
are not readily determinable due to uncertainties in their
realization; however, where available, the quoted market prices have
been disclosed. The fair value of the amount due on the waste disposal
rights is not determinable due to uncertainty regarding payment.
6
SOLUCORP INDUSTRIES LTD.
Notes to Financial Statements
Three and Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 1998 & 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
f) Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost
is determined on a first-in, first-out bases.
g) Long-term Investments
Investments are recorded at cost less a provision for permanent
impairment in value.
h) Capital Assets
Capital assets are recorded at cost. Amortization is provided over the
estimated useful lives of the assets on the following bases:
Computer 30% declining balance
Furniture and office equipment 20% declining balance
Leasehold improvements 5 years straight-line
Remediation equipment 30% declining balance
Patent costs 10 years straight-line
i) Waste Disposal Rights
Waste disposal rights are recorded at cost net of amortization. These
rights are being amortized at the greater of $10 per ton of waste
delivered or $216,500 per year. The Company conducts an annual review
of the carrying value to ensure it is not in excess of the estimated
recoverable amount of this asset (see note 10). Any excess amount
identified as a result of this review is charged to income in that
year as a write-down of the carrying value.
j) Reporting Currency and Translation of Foreign Currency
The Company adopted the United States dollar as its reporting currency
for its financial statements prepared after March 31, 1996. The United
States dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in
which the Company conducts its business, and is considered the
appropriate functional currency for its operations. Accordingly, the
financial statements of the Company have been translated using the
temporal method with translation gains and losses included in
earnings. Under this method the operations of the Company have been
converted into U.S. dollars at the following rates of exchange:
(i) Monetary assets and liabilities - at the rate of exchange
prevailing at the balance sheet date.
(ii) All other assets and liabilities - at the exchange rate
prevailing at the time of the transactions.
7
SOLUCORP INDUSTRIES LTD.
Notes to Financial Statements
Three and Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 1998 & 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(iii) Revenue and expenses - at the average exchange rates
prevailing during the period.
k) Share Issue Costs
Share issue costs are charged directly to the deficit.
l) Revenue Recognition
Revenue from on-site remediation projects is recognized using the
percentage of completion method of accounting. Under this method
contract revenue is determined by applying to the total estimated
income on each contract, a percentage which is equal to the ratio of
contract costs incurred to date, to the most recent estimate of total
costs which will have to be incurred upon the completion of the
contract. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings
represents additional earnings over billings, based upon the
percentage completed, as outlined above. Similarly, billings in excess
of costs and estimated earnings represent excess of amounts billed
over income recognized. Provision for estimated losses on uncompleted
contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined.
At June 30, 1998 there were no on-site projects in process.
Revenue from in-line remediation projects is recognized using the
completed contract method. Under this method revenue is recognized
when work is completed and invoiced.
Revenue from license fees, option payments and royalties are
recognized as the accrue in accordance with the terms of the relevant
agreements.
m) Research and Development
Research and development expenditures less related government grants
are charged to operations.
n) Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding during the year.
o) Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
In October 1995 the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation". The statement encourages all entities to
adopt a new method of accounting to measure compensation cost of all
employee stock compensation plans based on the estimated fair value of
the award at the date it is granted. Companies are, however, allowed
to continue to measure compensation cost for those plans using the
intrinsic value based method of accounting, which generally does not
result in compensation expense recognition for most plans. Companies
that elect to remain with the existing accounting are required to
disclose in a footnote to the financial statement pro forma net income
8

Notes to Financial Statements
Three and Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 1998 & 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and, if presented, earnings per share, as if SFAS No. 123 had been
adopted. The accounting requirements of SFAS No. 123 are effective for
transactions entered into in fiscal years that begin after December
15, 1995; however, companies are required to disclose information for
awards granted in their first fiscal year beginning after December 15,
1995. Currently, the Company's stock-based compensation plan is
accounted for using Canadian generally accepted accounting principles
similar to the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB No. 25. The
Company is in the process of computing the effect of adopting SFAS No.
123 and has not yet made a decision on whether to adopt the U.S.
accounting policy for the fiscal period ended June 30, 1998.
Management believes the financial impact of adopting SFAS No. 123
would be immaterial.

Company's technology. The agreement is for a ten-year term commencing
from June 1, 1997 with an option to renew for a further 10 years. As
consideration, Smart has agreed to pay an annual license fee of
$2,000,000 per year plus a royalty of $5 per ton for each ton of
processed material in excess of 100,000 tons per contract year. At
June 30, 1998 the Company has received $1,118,750 of the $2,000,000

10. Waste Disposal Rights
During the year ended June 30, 1995, the Company entered into a one-year
agreement effective from August 1, 1994 with a non-related public company,
Thermo Tech Technologies inc. (Thermo Tech), to deliver 3,500 tons per
month of suitable organic waste to a bio-conversion facility located in
Corinth, New York at $55 per ton on a put or pay basis. The Company
delivered only approximately 5% of the waste contemplated under the
one-year agreement. The Corinth facility experienced technical start-up
problems and was shut down in July 1995 to correct an engineering design
problem. On September 14, 1995 and January 17, 1996 the Company and Thermo
Tech signed confirmation agreements which resulted in a ten (10) year
extension from the put or pay agreement to commence when either the Corinth
facility became operational, or as an alternative, when organic waste was
delivered to another Thermo Tech facility. The agreements obligated the
Company to pay an initial amount of $2,165,625 for the right to deliver
216,500 tons of acceptable organic waste ($10 per ton) plus an additional
$45 per ton during the ten (10) year term of the agreement.
The Company paid Thermo Tech $900,000 of the initial amount leaving
$1,265,625 still to be paid. Thermo Tech recently resolved their lease
terms at the Corinth facility, and they are now retrofitting the plant to
obtain the required permits. Since the schedule to make the plant
operational is not yet determinable, Thermo Tech has agreed to defer
Solucorp's balance due on the waste disposal rights. Accordingly, the
$1,265,625 is reflected as a non-current payable. Furthermore, it is still
the Company's position that it will fully recover its investment in waste
disposal rights over the ten-year contractual period by delivering waste to
either the Corinth facility or an alternative Thermo Tech facility.

SOLUCORP INDUSTRIES LTD.
Notes to Financial Statements
Three and Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 1998 & 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The carrying value for the waste disposal rights represents a significant
portion of the Company's assets. Measurement of the recoverability of the
carrying value is based on an assessment of the waste disposal rates
currently existing in the New York and New Jersey areas, and at other areas
where Thermo Tech plants are located, and on the assumption that the
Corinth plant will be in operation in the near future. As of June 30, 1998,
the Company has determined that no write-down is necessary. However, it is
reasonably possible, based on existing knowledge, that changes in future
conditions in the near term could require a material change in the
estimated recoverable amount.
11. Other Assets
The $475,000 represents a deferred charge from an up-front license fee of
$500,000 paid to KBF Pollution Management, Inc. (KBF) in the form of
190,550 shares of restricted common stock, net of amortization of $25,000.
The license permits the Company to market worldwide KBF's selective
separation technology (SST), a water treatment system, for five (5) years
with automatic renewals for successive one year periods.

17. Contingencies
a) Pending Litigation
During May 1998, the Company and two of its officers were served with a
putative class action complaint alleging purported violations of the federal
securities laws [GESTEN v. SOLUCORP INDUSTRIES, LTD., et al,. 98 Civ. 3248 (LMM)
(SDNY)]. Since that time, three additional class action complaints were filed
against the Company and various of its personnel. The substantive allegations of
all four of the complaints, some of which have never been served on the Company
or the individual defendants, consist of no more than extensive quotations from
prior statements purportedly made by the Company and general allegations that
such statements were false and misleading. The Company has reviewed its prior
statements and is convinced that none of such statements were false or
misleading. The Company and the individuals named in the four complaints, after
consultation with their attorneys, concluded that the actions filed against them
have no merit and determined to vigorously defend the actions.
The Company and the individuals named in the GESTEN action filed a motion
to dismiss that complaint. While that motion to dismiss was pending, the
plaintiffs in the four class actions filed a motion to consolidate the four
actions into one action, as part of the GESTEN case, and to file one amended
consolidated complaint if the motion is granted. The Company and the individual
defendants have not opposed consolidation and agreed to withdraw their motion to
dismiss the GESTEN complaint until after the Court rules on the consolidation
motion. The consolidation motion currently is pending before the Court.
b) Waste Disposal Rights
Recoverability of the waste disposal rights is subject to the realization of
management's assumptions as discussed in note 10.
18. Related Party Transactions
During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, the Company
paid consulting fees and salaries of $102,154 and $206,824, respectively
(June 30, 1997 - $93,791 and $201,616, respectively) to directors, former
directors and/or private companies controlled by directors and/or
individuals related to directors.

19. Commitments
a) The Company has a lease for the building it presently occupies in New
York which requires the following payments:
1998 $144,000
1999 $144,000
2000 $144,000
2001 $144,000
2002 and subsequent $ 24,000
b) The Company has entered into numerous non-exclusive finder's
agreements with third parties to promote the company's soil
remediation process. The company will pay between 1% and 7% for
commissions on gross revenues generated by the third parties. These
agreements expire between one and two years.
c) The Company has agreed to pay royalties to Earthworks Industries Inc.
(Earthworks) (a Canadian public company) based on $1/ton (Cdn) for
soil remediated in Canada or $1/ton (US) if soil is remediated in the
United States. The Company will receive one share for each $1 of
royalty paid, to a maximum of 200,000 shares, in minimum blocks of
50,000. These shares are accrued as the soil is remediated. An
additional $1 (Cdn or US) will be paid for each ton remediated on
contracts resulting from the efforts of Earthworks. The Company has
the right to offset royalty payments against the convertible loan from
Cortina Integrated Waste Management, Inc. (note 8(c)).
d) The Company entered into a consulting agreement with a third party who
will provide business development and operational support. The Company
will pay the third party $3,000 per month plus any costs over and
above the monthly consulting fee. The agreement expires on October 1,
1998 with an annual renewal option.
e) In October 1995 the Company entered into an exclusive licensing
agreement with a United Kingdom company for the U.K. company to
utilize the Company's soil remediation process and to market the
company's soil remediation technology in the U.K. The agreement
required an annual licensing fee and a royalty per ton of soil
remediated. This agreement will be superseded by a new agreement dated
August 1, 1997, when the U.K. company obtains an official listing on
the Alternative Investment Market. The Company also granted an option
for a twelve month period to the U.K. company for similar licensing
agreements related to various European territories. Consideration
received for granting the option was $200,000. On December 10, 1997
the U.K. company advised its intention to exercise the option and to
proceed with drafting agreements for France, Poland, Hungary and
Portugal.

20. Comparative Figures
The Company changed its year-end to December 31. In accordance with SEC
guidelines the consolidated statement of operations and the consolidated
statement of cash flow for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 was
compared to the comparable period in 1997, whereas the consolidated balance
sheet at March 31, 1998 was compared to the previous year ended date of
December 31, 1997.
21. Economic Dependence
During the six months ended June 30, 1998, revenues of $383,800 and
$328,000 were earned from two customers, of which $56,875 and $Nil is
included in accounts receivable, respectively.
License fees of $1,075,758 were recognized in the six months ended June 30,
1998. See note 3.
22. Reconciliation to United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
As discussed in Significant Accounting Policies, these consolidated financial
statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in Canada. Differences in accounting principles as they pertain to
these consolidated financial statements are as follows:
Marketable Securities
Under GAAP, the accounting for marketable securities depends on the
classification of securities as held to maturity, trading or available for
sale. The classification would be based on management's intent. Marketable
securities included in long-term investments (note 8) would be classified
as being available for sale. Under U.S. GAAP, such securities would be
recorded at fair value with any changes recorded in a separate component of
shareholder's equity. Realized gains or losses would be recorded on the
income statements. At June 30, 1998 the effect on the presentation of
long-term investment for U.S. GAAP purposes would not be material.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto.
Results of Operations
Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 1997.
Aggregate revenue (environmental clean-ups and waste disposal projects, Training
Institute fees and license fees) increased to $2,070,717 from $6,351; an
increase of $2,064,366 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 when compared to
the comparable period last year. This resulted primarily from increased
transportation and disposal activity and from license fees in the current
period. Given the Company's reliance on a relatively small number of customers
at this stage, revenue may vary significantly from period to period.
Accordingly, no specific trend can be identified. (For the quarter ended June
30, 1997 an in-line job was projected to be a loss. Accordingly, the reversal of
previously anticipated profits utilizing the percentage of completion
methodology had the effect of reducing revenue by approximately $279,000).
Cost of sales increased $487,479 or 95%. This increase was due to the abnormally
high inventory storage costs and from the increased revenues in 1998.
Gross margin went from a loss of $504,590 in the six months ended June 30, 1997
to a loss of $3,461 in the current six-month period. At this point in the
Company's development its project costs do not yet reflect the economy of scale
needed for a normal operation. In addition, the abnormally high inventory
storage costs have also hindered profitability.
Investment and other income increased to $108,374 from $8,999 This increase
occurred primarily from interest charged on related party loans.
For the six months ended June 30, 1998 total operating expenses were $2,183,190
versus $2,135,700 in the comparable period last year; an increase of $47,490 or
2%. Current expenses focused primarily on the Company becoming a reporting
entity with the SEC, the protection and final issuance of the Company's patents,
and the Company's cooperation with an ongoing investigation by the SEC. In the
comparable period last year operating expenses were geared primarliy toward the
successful demonstrations of its MBS technology for the EPA, and finding
reliable chemical suppliers for the reagents used in MBS.
Other expenses in the six months ended June 30, 1998 were $527,968 versus
$36,013 in the comparable period in 1997. The current amount was mostly a
reserve established against a prepaid employment agreement, and other advances
made to Tristate Restoration and its officers which the Company is suing to
recover. The $36,013 in 1997 reflects the writedown of an investment.
For the six months ended June 30, 1998 the Company experienced a loss of
$1,530,487 compared to a loss of $2,667,304 in the comparable period lin 1997.
In addition to the low volume in relation to the Company's costs and other
23
operating expenses in both six-month periods, the Company experienced
significant abnormal expenses in both periods which are discussed above.
Three Months Ended June 30, 1998 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30,
1997.
Aggregate revenue as defined above increased to $1,012,396 from $(278,670) in
the comparable period last year; an increase of $1,291,066. As indicated above,
increased transportation and disposal activity, and license fees in the current
period more than offset the reversal of previously anticipated profits on an
in-line project that was utilizing the percentage of completion methodology in
the comparable period in 1997. In addition, as indicated above, the Company
relies on a relatively small number of customers at this stage, and therefore
revenue may vary significantly from period to period. Accordingly, no specific
trend can be identified.
Cost of sales increased $228,141 or 101%. As indicated above, this increase was
primarily due to the abnormally high inventory storage costs from the buildup in
inventory for the anticipated increased remediation activity in 1998, and from
increased transportation and disposal activity.
Gross margin reflected a profit of $28,573 for the three months ended June 30,
1998 versus a loss of $504,048 in the comparable period last year. Putting aside
the condition noted above regarding the accounting for an in-line project last
year, the Company's project costs do not yet reflect the economy of scale needed
for a normal operation. In addition, the abnormal inventory storage costs and
non-billable treatability work at the current revenue level have hindered
profitability.
Investment and other income increased to $44,828 from $7,499; an increase of
$37,329. As noted above this increase was due primarily from interest charged on
related party loans.
Total operating expenses in the current three-month period ended June 30, 1998
were essentially unchanged from the comparable period last year. However, as
noted above, last year these expenses focused mainly on the successful
demonstrations of the Company's MBS technology for the EPA, whereas this year it
was focused primarily on the Company becoming a reporting entity with the SEC,
the protection and final issuance of the Company's patents, and the Company's
cooperation with an ongoing investigation by the SEC.
Other expenses in the three months ended June 30, 1998 were $527,968 versus
$36,013 in the comparable period in 1997. As noted above, the current amount was
mostly a reserve established against a prepaid employment agreement and other
advances made to Tristate Restoration and its officers which the Company is
suing to recover. The $36,013 in 1997 reflects the writedown of an investment.
For the three months ended June 30, 1998 the Company experienced a loss of
$1,271,007 compared to a loss of $1,839,800 in the comparable period in 1997. As
indicated above, the low volume in relation to the Company's costs and other
operating expenses as well as the significant abnormal expenses in both periods,
accounted for these losses.
24
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 1998, the Company had working capital of $3,025,638, a decrease of
$759,348, or 20% from the $3,784,986 reflected at December 31, 1997. Within the
current assets significant increases occurred in accounts receivable and
inventories; whereas significant decreases occurred in unbilled license fees,
due from related parties and prepaid expenses. Within the current liabilities,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities reflected the only significant
increase.
The Company has financed its operations through the sale of its securities
pursuant to the Company's stock option plans and to certain private investors,
and the Company expects to continue to provide for its cash and capital needs in
this manner until operations are sufficient to meet these needs.
Cash Flows
During the six months June March 30, 1998, the Company increased its cash
position $6,109 versus an increased cash position of $5,336 in the comparable
period in 1997. In the current period, cash was provided mainly from the
issuance of the Company's capital stock and the repayment of related party
loans. This was used primarily to fund the current loss, and from the incurrence
of a deferred charge.
Other
The carrying value of the waste disposal rights ($1,515,937) at June 30, 1998
represented a significant portion of the Company's assets. Measurement of the
recoverability of the carrying value was based on an assessment of the waste
disposal rates currently existing in the New York and New Jersey areas, and at
other areas where Thermo Tech plants are located, and on the assumption that the
Corinth plant will be in operation in the near future. However, it is reasonably
possible, based upon existing knowledge, that changes in future conditions in
the near term could require a material change in the estimated recoverable
amount. Accordingly, the Company is currently amortizing these rights $216,500
per year, which has left a net amount of $250,312 at June 30, 1998.
In anticipation of significantly increased remediation activity in 1998, and due
to the relatively long lead time required to purchase one of the main chemical
ingredients in MBS, the Company continued to increase its inventory of this
chemical in the three months ended June 30, 1998. This was the primary reason
for the inventory increasing $1,039,447 from the $784,079 at December 31, 1997.
In February 1998 The British Columbia Ministry of the Environment (BCMOE) issued
its first and only site permit allowing heavy metals contaminated soil that is
treated with the Company's Molecular Bonding System (MBS) to be disposed in an
authorized landfill as "nonspecial" waste. This officially waives the B.C. law
that all treated soil must be disposed of in a hazardous waste landfill, and
consequently allow for significant cost savings on disposal charges for
MBS-treated material.
25
The Company filed a patent application which utilizes the Company's Molecular
Bonding System to eliminate heavy metals pollution from a variety of
manufactured items, including mercury switches and batteries commonly containing
lead, cadmium and nickel. These products previously found their way into
municipal landfills or incinerators which subsequently released the hazardous
pollution into the environment.
Laboratory tests conducted by Brookhaven National Laboratory with the Company's
MBS Technology successfully treated mixed radioactive waste. These tests
represent an important step in the Company's attempt to penetrate the
radioactive-based market by potentially providing the US Department of Energy
with a cost effective solution to dispose of mixed waste.
The Company was notified by the US Department of Commerce Patent and Trademark
Office that its MBS Soil Remediation Process Patent Application was examined and
allowed for issuance as a patent.
On May 1, 1998, the Company was informed by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) that it had temporarily suspended the over the counter trading
in the securities of the Company from May 1, 1998 through May 14, 1998. The
suspension was based upon questions that were raised concerning the accuracy and
adequacy of the public information about various aspects of the Company's
business, The Company is confident that it will demonstrate to the satisfaction
of the SEC that it acted properly.
Pending Litigation
During May 1998 the Company and two of its officers were served with a putative
class action complaint alleging purported violations of the securities laws [
GESTEN v SOLUCORP INDUSTRIES LTD, et al., 98 Civ. 3248 (LMM) (SDNY) ]. Since
that time, three additional class actions complaints were filed against the
Company and various of its personnel. The substantive allegations of the
complaint consist of no more than extensive quotations from prior statements
purportedly made by the Company and general allegations that such statements
were false and misleading. The Company has reviewed its prior statements and is
convinced that none of such statements were false or misleading. The Company and
the individuals named in the complaints, after consultation with their
attorneys, believe that the action filed against them has no merit and have
determined to vigorously defend the action.
The Company and the individuals named in the GESTEN action filed a motion to
dismiss that complaint. While the motion was pending the plaintiffs in the four
class actions filed a motion to consolidate the four actions into one action, as
part of the GESTEN case, and to file one amended consolidated complaint if the
motion is granted. The Company and the individual defendants have not opposed
consolidation and agreed to withdraw their motion to dismiss the GESTEN
complaint until after the Court rules on the consolidation motion. The
consolidation motion .is currently pending before the Court.

Material Contracts
In March 1998 the Company entered into a world-wide license agreement with KBF
Pollution Management, Inc. (KBF). The five (5) year license with automatic
renewals for successive one year periods permits the Company to market KBF's
patented SST Water Treatment Technology, which removes and recovers metals from
waste water, facilitating beneficial reuse of the metals and purification of the
water. The agreement initially required the payment of an up-front license fee
of $500,000 in the form of 190,550 shares of common stock.
In June 1998 the Company was awarded a $1.1 million subcontract from
Environmental Waste Technology Inc. pursuant to their general contract with the
New York City Department of Environmental Protection. The contract involves lead
and asbestos abatement, and demolition services in Brooklyn, New York. Work on
the contract is scheduled to commence September 1998, and under the terms of the
agreement the Company will bill for its services as work is completed.
In June 1998 the Company entered into a contract with Geomar Holdings Limited, a
recently formed Delaware limited liability company. Subject to Geomar raising a
specified amount of capital, it will be responsible for funding the acquisition
and development of real estate interests in selected sites which require
remediation of contamination before they can be developed. The contract also
specifies that Solucorp will have exclusive rights as general contractor to
manage all remediation work.
In July 1998 the Company was awarded a subcontract by Roy F. Weston Inc. from
their contract with the US Army Corps of Engineers to remediate hazardous soils
utilizing its MBS technology at the former Waldon Spring Ordnance Work in St.
Charles, MO. The subcontract, which is valued at $352,000, is scheduled to
commence in September 1998.
The Company was recently informed that the Basic Ordering Agreement issued to
IDM Environmental Inc. for various services at the Los Alamos National
Laboratory has terminated. Accordingly, Solucorp's subcontract with IDM, which
involved remediation services, will not be rendered. The termination of the
contract has had no effect on the Company's operations.
The Company was recently informed that the OENJ project to remediate 1,400 tons
of classified hazardous soils (VOC's & volitile organics) on site was disposed
of. Therefore, Solucorp will not render its services for this project.
