                        CET ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC.

                NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 MARCH 31, 2002


NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION. The accompanying unaudited financial
         statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
         accounting principles for interim financial statements and with the
         instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B.
         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 of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a
         fair presentation have been included. The consolidated balance sheet at
         December 31, 2001 has been derived from the audited consolidated
         financial statements at that date. Operating results for the quarter
         ended March 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of results that may
         be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002. For further
         information, refer to the audited financial statements and notes
         thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
         year ended December 31, 2001.

NOTE 2.  EARNINGS PER SHARE. The Financial Accounting Standards Board's
         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share
         ("SFAS 128") requires the presentation of basic earnings per share
         ("EPS") and, for companies with potentially dilutive securities such as
         convertible debt, options and warrants, diluted EPS.

         In 2002, basic earnings per share data was computed by dividing net
         loss by weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
         period. Diluted earnings per share computations do not give effect to
         potentially dilutive securities including stock options and warrants as
         their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

         In 2001, basic earnings per share data was computed by dividing net
         income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
         during the period. Diluted earnings per share was adjusted for the
         assumed conversion of potentially dilutive securities including stock
         options and warrants to purchase common stock.

NOTE 3.  ACCOUNT RECEIVABLE -- REMEDIATION FINANCIAL, INC. -- During the third
         quarter of 2000, the Company experienced problems collecting
         receivables from Remediation Financial, Inc. ("RFI"), and its
         affiliated partnerships Santa Clarita, LLC and LCRI Investments, LLC
         the developers of the two Brownfield projects. The severity of the
         problems was of such sufficiency to cause the Company to suspend work
         on the Santa Clarita, CA project. Subsequently, the Company was
         presented with termination notices for both projects with the Santa
         Clarita termination effective October 6, 2000 and the Hercules
         termination effective October 31, 2000. At December 31, 2001, the
         Company had receivables of $2,021,164 for the Santa Clarita project and
         $3,313,575 for the Hercules project. In February, 2002, the Company
         entered into a settlement agreement with respect to the Santa Clarita
         project and received $2.1 million. At March 31, 2002, the Company had a
         receivable of $3,234,738 for the Hercules project. This amount
         represents 72% of accounts receivable at March 31, 2002. The Company
         has a secured lien on the Hercules property and management believes it
         will recover most, if not all, of the related receivables. However,
         failure to collect this receivable will have a material adverse effect
         on the financial position and operations of the Company. Additionally,
         the continued delay in collecting the receivable has an adverse effect
         on the cash flow of the Company. See Item 3, Legal Proceeding in the
         Company's filed Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2001 regarding
         legal actions taken against RFI and its affiliated partners for the
         Hercules, CA project. There has been no significant progress in the
         collection of this account receivable since year-end 2001.

NOTE 4.  EQUIPMENT DISPOSITIONS -- During the first quarter 2002, field
         equipment dispositions consisted of $526,261 of net equipment disposals
         for proceeds of $142,500 which consisted of a note with a lump sum
         payment due in June 2002. The Company recorded a loss of $383,761 on
         the equipment disposition.



                                       5


NOTE 5.  STOCK REPURCHASE -- On May 2, 2001, the Company reached an agreement
         to purchase 631,514 shares of the Company's common stock from a former
         Director and Executive Vice President of the Company for a maximum of
         $250,000 or approximately $0.395 per share. Initially, the Company
         purchased 189,454 shares for $75,000. The remaining 442,060 shares
         would be purchased for a maximum of $175,000, the payment would be
         contingent upon receipt of the $6.2 million of past due receivables
         from RFI and its affiliated partners. Under the terms of the agreement,
         5% of the proceeds from RFI as collected, up to the maximum of
         $175,000, would be applied to the purchase of the stock. In February
         2002, as a result of the Santa Clarita settlement with RFI and its
         affiliated partners, the Company purchased 218,757 shares of common
         stock for $86,600 or $0.395 per share.

NOTE 6.  CONTINGENCIES -- On December 19, 2000, the Company filed an action in
         the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles
         for, among other things, breach of contract and foreclosure of a
         previously filed mechanics' lien/lien release bond against Santa
         Clarita, LLC, an affiliated partnership of RFI, in response to
         non-payment for services performed by the Company on the Porta Bella
         project located in Santa Clarita, CA. In February, 2002, the Company
         entered into a settlement agreement under which it received $2.1
         million (See Note 3. Accounts Receivable - Remediation Financial,
         Inc.).

         On February 8, 2001, the Company filed an action in the Superior Court
         of the State of California, County of Contra Costa for, among other
         things, breach of contract, foreclosure of a previously filed
         mechanics' lien, and judicial foreclosure of the deed of trust in the
         amount of $10.1 million against LCRI Investments, LLC, an affiliated
         partnership of RFI, in response to non-payment for services performed
         by the Company on the Hercules project located in Hercules, CA. On
         March 5, 2001, the Company recorded a notice of default under the
         subject deed of trust in order to pursue a trustee's sale of the
         subject property. The Company and LCRI Investments are engaged in
         arbitration proceedings. The amount of unpaid invoices is approximately
         $3.3 million. Based on the secured deed of trust, the Company believes
         it will prevail in this action and will recover most, if not all,
         amounts due the Company (See Note G to the Company's filed Form 10K for
         the year ended December 31, 2001).

         The Company, LCRI Investments, and RFI are parties to a Commercial
         Insurance Premium Finance and Security Agreement under which the
         Company guaranteed a $10.1 million Bond to Secure Financial Obligation
         for the Hercules, CA project. The bond secures a note that requires
         quarterly principal payments of $542,278 which are made by LCRI
         Investments, LLC. As of March 31, 2002, LCRI Investment, LLC was in
         default on their 2001 and 2002 quarterly payments. On July 11, 2001, a
         letter was issued to LCRI Investments, LLC, RFI, and the Company
         calling for the immediate payment of remaining principal and interest
         of $7.2 million. There has been no legal action taken against the
         Company for the default. Management believes the Company is entitled to
         be indemnified to the extent it is ultimately obligated to make any
         payments under any of these arrangements. Based on the secured deed of
         trust mentioned above, management believes that any amounts paid as a
         result of the guarantee will be recovered.

         Since early 1998, the Company has been the subject of an investigation
         by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) of the Environmental
         Protection Agency (EPA). While initially broad in scope, the focus of
         the investigation appears to involve labor billing-rates to the EPA
         beginning in the 1992-1994 period and selected subsequent years. The
         Company has cooperated fully in all OIG inquiries and will continue to
         do so when and if required. To date, no claims have been made against
         the Company. In addition, independent audits by the Defense Contract
         Audit Agency (DCAA), subsequent to initiation of the OIG investigation,
         have not been adverse nor have resulted in claims against the Company.
         No loss provision has been made at March 31, 2002 as a result of the
         investigation as the probable outcome is unknown.

         The Company is party to various legal actions arising out of the normal
         course of its business. Management believes that the ultimate
         resolution of such actions, except as previously disclosed, will not
         have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position,
         results of operations, and liquidity of the Company.

                  ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

statements (as such term is defined in the private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995), and information relating to the Company that is based on beliefs
of management of the Company, as well as assumptions made by and information

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2001

         PROJECT REVENUE. Project revenues were $1.0 million in 2002, down $3.1
million from $4.1 million in 2001. The decrease in revenues largely reflects the
substantial completion of work orders from the EPA. The Company's contract with
the EPA expired on January 8, 2002 and EPA related revenues were only $335,000
during the period, as compared with $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2001.
The reduction in EPA revenues were partially offset with increases in
water/waste water revenues of $0.2 million and other commercial revenues of $0.2
million over the year earlier period.

         DIRECT COSTS. Direct costs were $0.8 million in 2002, down $2.5 million
from $3.2 million in 2001. The decrease in total dollars is commensurate with
the decrease in project revenues noted above. As a percentage of revenues,
direct costs for 2002 were 75%, down from 80% in 2001. The decrease is the
result of approximately $224,000 of direct cost savings due from negotiated
settlements with the Company's vendors. Without these vendor settlements, direct
costs for 2002 would have been 96%. This increase, over the year earlier period,
is due from EPA revenues that were comprised primarily of trailing costs, which
by their nature, have no profit margin. In addition, two water/wastewater
projects during the period incurred difficulties that nearly eliminated
anticipated profit margins.

         INDIRECT COSTS. Indirect project costs were $246,000 in 2002, a slight
decrease of $24,000 from $270,000 in 2001. As a percentage of revenue, indirect
costs for 2002 were 24%, up from 7% in 2001. The increase is the result of costs
incurred to close-out the EPA contract which expired on January 8, 2002.

         SELLING AND GENERAL & ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS. Selling and General and
Administrative costs were $700,000 in 2002, up $130,000 from $570,000 in 2001.
This increase is the result of additional legal expenses relating to the RFI and
its affiliated partners litigation and employee severance costs as a result of
the EPA contract expiration.

         OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Other expenses, net of other income, amounted
to a net loss of $383,000, the bulk of which arose from the loss on equipment
dispositions of $384,000. In the year earlier period, other income of $19,000
and interest income of $10,000, net of other expenses, resulted in other income
of $27,000.

         NET INCOME (LOSS). A Net loss of $1,068,414 was recorded during the
current period compared to the net income of $11,492 for the year earlier
period. The loss in 2002 was the result of the expiration of the EPA contract
and reduced profit margins on the water/waste water projects.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's sources of liquidity and capital resources historically
have been net cash provided by operating activities, funds available under its
financing arrangements, and proceeds from offerings of equity securities. In the
past, these sources have been sufficient to meet its needs and finance the
Company's business. The Company can give no assurance that the historical
sources of liquidity and capital resources will be available for future
development and acquisitions, and it may be required to seek alternative
financing sources not necessarily favorable to the Company.

         During the third quarter of 2000, the Company experienced problems
collecting receivables from RFI and its affiliated partnerships for work
performed at Brownfields projects located at Santa Clarita and Hercules, CA. The
severity of the problems caused the Company to suspend work on the Santa
Clarita, CA project. Subsequently, the Company was presented with termination
notices for both the projects, with the Santa Clarita termination effective
October 6, 2000 and the Hercules termination effective October 31, 2000. At
December 31, 2001 receivables from the Santa Clarita project were approximately
$2.0 million while those arising from the Hercules project were $3.3 million for
a total of $5.3 million or 74% of total accounts receivable.

         In February, 2002, the Company reached a settlement agreement with
respect to the Santa Clarita project and received $2.1 million. The Company
continues to pursue recovery efforts with respect to Hercules receivables (See
Item 3. Legal Proceedings and Notes G and S to the Consolidated Financial
Statements in the Company's filed Form 10K for the year ended December 31,
2001). The delay in collecting the aforementioned receivable on a timely basis
has adversely effected the Company's cash flow.

         In 2001, the Company elected not to bid on a new contract with the EPA.
Under terms of the prior contract, the fourth and final option year expired on
January 8, 2002. The Company will complete the EPA work-orders awarded up to the
date of expiration. Management believes it will require an additional six months
to finish those work-orders and to complete final administrative procedures.
Personnel levels will be reduced in conjunction with the completion of
work-orders. The Seattle operations were closed in December 2001 with related
assets disposed. For the year ended December 31, 2001, EPA revenues were
approximately $12.3 million or 87% of total revenues.

         Management will attempt to replace EPA activities by focusing on
water/wastewater projects, Brownfields developments, and other environmental
activities. The Company has signed a pre-development agreement with a Colorado
municipality to redevelop a commercial real-estate project. The project would
entail purchasing subject property, demolition and environmental remediation,
and construction of new affordable housing units and other related structures.
The completed project is estimated at $10 million to $20 million and the Company
is currently negotiating financing for this project. At this time, no estimate
can be made as to the amount and timing of revenues. At best, the projects are
anticipated to generate nominal, if any, revenues for the current year. There
can be no assurance that final redevelopment project plans or financing will be
approved. In addition, there can be no assurance that this redevelopment project
or any other effort will be successful in offsetting the loss of EPA revenues.

         Management believes that potential future cash flows from operations,
the collection of receivables related to the Hercules project, and funds
available under the $1.0 million line of credit with Compass Bank will be
sufficient to fund the Company's immediate needs for working capital. In
addition, management believes that it will be successful in renewing the line of
credit with Compass Bank in June 2002. However, there can be no assurance that
the line of credit with Compass Bank will be renewed. In the event the line of
credit is not renewed and alternate financing sources cannot be found, the
Company's financial position, operating activities, and liquidity could be
adversely affected.

         The Company's working capital decreased to $5.7 million as of March 31,
2002, down $0.5 million from $6.2 million as of December 31, 2001. The change in
working capital is the net result of a decrease in current assets of $2.6
million and a decrease in current liabilities of $2.1 million. The decrease in
current assets results from collections of combined receivables of $4.2 million
and a increase in cash of $1.4 million and a combined other current assets of
$0.2 million. The decrease in current liabilities results primarily from payment
of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $2.0 million and notes of $0.1
million.



                                       8


         The Company's cash and cash equivalents increased approximately $1.4
million to $1.9 million at March 31, 2002 from $0.5 million at December 31,
2001. The increase in cash and cash equivalents results from cash provided by
operating activities of $1.6 million as a result of a net loss of $1.1 million,
a decrease in combined receivables of $4.2 million, $0.1 million increase in
combined other current assets, $0.4 million of depreciation and loss on disposal
adjustments to net income, and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued
expenses of $2.0 million. Cash used in investing activities of $0.1 million
results primarily from cash paid for land under development. Cash used in
financing activities of $0.2 million results primarily from payments of notes
and the repurchase of the Company's common stock.

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         On December 19, 2000, the Company filed an action in the Superior Court
         of the State of California, County of Los Angeles for, among other
         things, breach of contract and foreclosure of mechanics' lien/lien
         release bond against Santa Clarita, LLC, an affiliated partnership of
         RFI, in response to non-payment for services performed by the Company
         on the Porta Bella project located in Santa Clarita, CA. In early
         February 2002, the Company entered into a settlement agreement under
         which it received a total of $2.1 million, which approximates the value
         of the receivables related to the project.
