INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Plan Administrator of
Philip Services Corp. 401(k) Plan
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of the Philip Services Corp. 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") as of December
31, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31,
1998 and 1997, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules,
as listed in the table of contents, for the year ended December 31, 1998
are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required
part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information
required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting
and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
These schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Such schedules
have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the
basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects when considered in relation to the basic 1998 financial
statements taken as a whole.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Philip
Services Corp. (the "Company") will continue as a going concern. As discussed
in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company was not in compliance with
the provisions of its existing credit agreement during 1998 which raises
substantial doubt about its ability and the Plan's ability to continue as a
going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described
in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

PHILIP SERVICES CORP.
401(k) PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. THE PLAN AND PLAN DESCRIPTION
The following description of the Philip Services Corp. 401(k) Plan (the
"Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to
the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's
provisions.
GENERAL - The Plan is a defined contribution plan for eligible employees
of Philip Services Corp. (the "Company") and is subject to the provisions
of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). As
such, the Plan meets minimum funding standards required under these
provisions. The Plan is directed by a 401(k) committee which is composed
of employees appointed by the Company's Board of Directors.
During 1998, the Serv-Tech Inc. Consolidated Retirement Savings 401(k)
Plan, the Roth Bros. Smelting Employee's Deferred Savings and Profit
Sharing Plan and Trust, the Allwaste, Inc. Employee Retirement Plan, the
Luria Bros.-Connell Limited Partnership Profit Sharing and Savings Plan,
the RMF Global, Inc. 401(k) Savings & Retirement Plan, the Cousins
Employees Savings & Retirement Plan, the 21st Century Environmental
Management, Inc. 401(k) Plan, the Industrial Services Technologies, Inc.
401(k) Savings Plan and the Eltex Chemical Employees 401(k) Plan were
merged into the Plan. These mergers resulted in rollover contributions of
approximately $47.9 million. In connection with the merger of these plans
the Blue Chip Growth Fund, the Balanced Fund and Philip Services Stock
Fund became investment options under the Plan.
During 1998, the Department of Labor ("DOL") conducted an audit of the
Allwaste, Inc. Employee Retirement Plan (the "Allwaste Plan") for plan
years 1995, 1996, and 1997. As a result of the audit, the Company agreed
to contribute $34,966 to the Allwaste Plan. Subsequent to December 31,
1998, the Company transferred $28,109 to T. Rowe Price to be allocated to
the accounts of the affected participants, with the remainder paid
directly to former participants. As of December 31, 1998 the $28,109 was
included in employer contributions receivable.
CONTRIBUTIONS AND VESTING - A participant may elect to contribute between
1% and 15% of annual compensation. Participant contributions to the Plan
are fully vested at the time they are made. The Company matches 50% of
participant contributions up to a maximum of $3,000 per year. A
participant obtains full vesting in his or her Company matching
contributions account balance and earnings thereon upon the earlier of
the date on which he or she completes one year of participation or the
date on which he or she completes five years of employment. Any employee
who was a participant in the Plan on February 18, 1994, is fully vested in
his or her Company matching contributions accounts at all times.
Nonvested amounts forfeited by participants are used to offset future
employer contributions. For the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997,
forfeited accounts totaled $126,277 and $26,569, respectively.
INVESTMENT FUNDS - A participant may direct the investment of his or her
account balances and contributions to any one or more of the following
investment funds:
New Horizons Fund: A mutual fund investing principally in common
stock of smaller companies with high growth potential. This fund is
publicly traded as the T. Rowe Price New Horizons Fund, Inc.
-4-

Growth & Income Fund: A mutual fund investing principally in blue
chip common stocks with other investments in preferred stocks and
convertible bonds. This fund is publicly traded as the T. Rowe
Price Growth & Income Fund, Inc.
Capital Appreciation Fund: A mutual fund investing principally in
common stocks with growth and capital appreciation prospects.
Additionally, this fund invests in convertible bonds and preferred
stocks. This fund is publicly traded as the T. Rowe Price Capital
Appreciation Fund, Inc.
Prime Reserve Fund: A money market mutual fund invested in the T.
Rowe Price Prime Reserve Fund, Inc.
New Income Fund: A bond mutual fund investing in United States
Government and high quality corporate bonds. This fund is publicly
traded as the T. Rowe Price New Income Fund, Inc.
International Stock Fund: A mutual fund investing principally in a
diversified portfolio of long-term marketable securities of
established non-United States issuers. This fund is publicly traded
as the T. Rowe Price International Stock Fund.
Spectrum Growth Fund: A mutual fund investing principally in stock
funds with growth and capital appreciation prospects. This fund is
publicly traded as the T. Rowe Price Spectrum Growth Fund.
Spectrum Income Fund: A mutual fund investing in income-oriented
funds with high current income and price appreciation prospects.
This fund is publicly traded as the T. Rowe Price Spectrum Income
Fund.
Balanced Fund: A mutual fund investing in a diversified portfolio
consisting of approximately 60% in common stocks and the balance in
fixed income securities and cash reserves. This fund is publicly
traded as T. Rowe Price Balanced Fund, Inc.
Blue Chip Growth Fund: A mutual fund investing in common stocks of
large and medium-sized blue chip companies that have the potential
for above average growth in earnings. This fund is publicly traded
as T. Rowe Price Blue Chip Growth Fund, Inc.
Philip Services Stock Fund: Funds are invested in the common stock
of Philip Services Corp. Effective April 1, 1999, the Philip
Services Stock Fund discontinued future allocation and
reallocations of investments by plan participants into the Fund.
However, participants were allowed to retain any investments in the
Fund as of March 31, 1999.
All of the mutual funds held by the Plan are managed by T. Rowe Price
Associates, Inc., the trustee of the Plan. In addition T. Rowe Price
holds the shares of the Philip Services Stock Fund.
PARTICIPANT LOANS - The Plan may make loans to actively employed
participants of not less than $1,000 nor more than the lessor of $50,000
or 50% of the current value of the vested balance in the participant's
account. The $50,000 limitation is reduced by the participant's highest
outstanding loan balance during the prior one-year period. A participant
may not obtain more than one loan during any 12-month period and may not
have more than two loans outstanding at a given time. The interest rate on
loans is prime plus 1%, as determined quarterly by the trustee. The
interest rate on existing loans ranges from 6.00% to 11.00%. The interest
rate is fixed for the term of the loan, and the repayment period may be
from one to five years. Participant loans are secured by the participants'
account balances.
During 1998 and 1997, loans were made in the amount of $2,506,017 and
$1,016,137, respectively.
-5-
8
At December 31, 1998, loans amounting to $30,104 were in default as
defined by the Plan.
WITHDRAWALS AND DISTRIBUTIONS - The Plan provides for in-service
withdrawals to participants which are limited to the participant's vested
account balances and are subject to certain other restrictions and
requirements. Upon separation from service, a participant's account
balances may be distributed in a lump sum or kept in the Plan. A
participant whose account balances exceed $3,500 may elect a deferred
distribution or installment payment over a period ending not later than
April 1 of the year following the calendar year in which the participant
attains age 70 1/2. As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, there were no
amounts payable to participants who have terminated or withdrawn from the
Plan.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The Company is a supplier of metals recovery and
industrial services to major industry sectors throughout North American
and Europe. The Company applies proprietary technology to reduce the cost
and downtime associated with industrial cleaning and plant turnaround
activities, and to recover value from industrial by-products and metal
bearing residuals.
As of December 31, 1998, the Company was not in compliance with the
provisions of its existing credit agreement as amended (the "Credit
Facility"). On April 26, 1999, the Company's lending syndicate approved a
lock-up agreement as amended on June 21, 1999 (the "Lock-up Agreement")
which sets forth a new capital structure for the Company and the
conditions that govern the restructuring of approximately $1 billion in
secured term loans outstanding under the Credit Facility. Under the terms
of the Lock-up Agreement, the lenders will convert the outstanding
approximately $1 billion of secured syndicated debt into $300 million of
senior secured debt, $100 million of convertible secured payment in-kind
debt and 91% of the common shares of the restructured Company. The secured
payment in-kind debt is convertible into 25% of the common shares of the
restructured Company on a fully-diluted basis as of the restructuring
date. The senior secured debt and the secured payment in-kind debt each
have a term of five years. The Lock-up Agreement also provides that the
Board of Directors of the restructured Company will consist of nine
directors who will be nominated by the new 91% shareholders (i.e., the
lenders). The nominees will include two members of the existing Board. The
sale of the utilities division of the Company on May 18, 1999 resulted in
a reduction of the restructured senior secured debt from $300 million to
$250 million.
The Company filed a voluntary application to reorganize with the
appropriate court in Canada and filed voluntary petitions with the
appropriate court in the United States on June 25, 1999. The applications
include, in addition to the arrangements reached with the Company's
lenders described above, proposals that would adjust the amounts owing to
certain unsecured creditors and the realization value of the Company's
assets. Upon filing, the Company has access to $100 million of
debtor-in-possession financing to support its working capital requirements
during the restructuring process. Upon receipt of court approval of the
application, the $100 million debtor-in-possession financing will be
repaid by a $100 million working capital facility to be established. The
courts have confirmed the Company's access to proceeds remaining from
previous sales of non-core assets of over $400 million.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is
dependent on the courts approval of the voluntary application to
reorganize contemplated by the Lock-up Agreement. It is uncertain what
impact, if any, the Company's ability to continue as a going concern
will have on the Plan or the net assets available for benefits.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING - The financial statements of the Plan are prepared
under the accrual method of accounting.
USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
-6-
9
RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain reclassifications have been made to prior
year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.
PLAN EXPENSES - Administrative expenses, to the extent not paid by the
Company, are paid from Plan assets.
PAYMENT OF BENEFITS - Benefits are recorded when paid.
INVESTMENTS - Investments are recorded at fair value based on quoted
market prices as determined by the trustee. Dividends and interest income
from investments are recorded as earned on the accrual basis, and
allocated to participants based upon their proportionate investment in
each fund. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date
basis.
The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its
investments, which consists of the realized gains or losses, and the
unrealized appreciation or depreciation of those investments. The cost
basis of securities sold is determined by a moving weighted average for
the shares in each fund.
PLAN TERMINATION - While the Board of Directors of the Company has not
expressed an intention to do so, it may terminate the Plan at any time,
subject to the provisions of ERISA. Upon termination, all participants
become fully vested and the Plan's assets will be distributed to the
participants on the basis of their net asset account balances existing at
the date of termination.
TAX STATUS - The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the
Company by a letter dated August 14, 1995, that the Plan is designed in
accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC").
The Plan has been amended since receiving that determination letter.
However, the Plan administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that
the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with
the applicable requirements of the IRC. The Company is currently
requesting an updated determination letter from the IRS. Therefore, no
provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial
statements.
EXCESS CONTRIBUTION - Upon failure of nondiscrimination tests, the Plan
would accrue a liability equal to the excess contribution and excess
aggregate contribution to be refunded. The Plan has not completed the
nondiscrimination tests for the year ended December 31, 1998. Management
does not believe that the impact of excess contributions, if any, will be
material to the financial statements.
