(6) 9 CLEAN HARBORS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary for the fair presentation of interim period results. The operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the full fiscal year. Reference is made to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The year end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. NOTE 2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE Net income (loss) per common and common equivalent share is based on net income(loss) less preferred stock dividend requirements divided by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during each of the respective periods. Fully diluted net income (loss) per common share has not been presented as the amount would not differ significantly from that presented. Common share equivalents included in the computation represent shares issuable upon assumed exercise of stock options which would have a dilutive effect in periods where there are earnings. NOTE 3 FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS On September 6, 1996, the Company refinanced its $45,000,000 revolving credit and term loan agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with a financial institution by (i) guaranteeing $10,000,000 of 10.75% Economic Development Revenue Bonds due September 1, 2026 issued by the City of Kimball, Nebraska (the "Bonds"), and (ii) amending the Loan Agreement to reduce the maximum credit thereunder from $45,000,000 to $35,000,000. The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the Bonds to repay a portion of its outstanding debt under the Loan Agreement. That portion was originally incurred for acquisition costs, including the costs relating to insurance premiums, associated with the acquisition of the Kimball incinerator ("the Facility"). In connection with the issuance of the Bonds, the Company has entered into a facilities lease with the City of Kimball whereby the City acquired a leasehold interest in the Facility and the Company leased the Facility back from the City. The Company retains title to the Facility. (7) 10 CLEAN HARBORS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) NOTE 3 FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS (continued) The Bonds were issued at 100% of their principal value. The Bonds are not redeemable prior to September 1, 2006. From that date until September 1, 2008, the Bonds are redeemable at a premium. After September 1, 2008, the Bonds are redeemable at par. Sinking fund payments begin on September 1, 1999 in the amount of $100,000 annually until the year 2008 when the sinking fund payments will gradually increase annually. The Bonds provide for certain covenants relating to, among others, incurrence of additional debt, debt service coverage, earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") coverage and the ratio of EBITDA to total debt. Certain of these covenants do not become effective until September 30, 1997. If for any fiscal quarter ending on or after September 30, 1997, the debt service coverage ratio is less that 1.25 to 1, the Company will be required to pay in six equal monthly installments into a debt service reserve fund held by the Trustee for the Bonds a total amount equal to the maximum annual debt service for one year on the Bonds. (8) 11 CLEAN HARBORS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS REVENUES Revenues for the third quarter of 1996 were $50,738,000, down 7% as compared to revenues of $54,398,000 for the third quarter of the prior year. Revenues for the nine months of 1996 were $146,112,000, which was a 7% decline from the revenues for the nine months of 1995 of $156,447,000. The revenue decline, for the comparative three months and nine months, was the result of industry-wide pricing pressures and a decrease in the volumes of wastes which were processed through the Company's facilities. There are many factors which have impacted, and will continue to impact, the Company's revenues. These factors include: competitive industry pricing; continued efforts by generators of hazardous waste to reduce the amount of hazardous waste they produce; industry-wide over capacity; and direct shipment by generators of waste to the ultimate treatment or disposal location. The Company has responded to these industry changes by enhancing its waste treatment capabilities and improving operating efficiencies. In the second quarter of 1995, the Company acquired an incinerator in Kimball, Nebraska which allows the Company to dispose of waste, reducing reliance on third parties. On September 30, 1996, the Company had service centers and sales offices located in 24 states and Puerto Rico, and operated 12 waste management facilities. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the Company's revenues by region, based upon the locations of its service centers as of September 30, 1996.

AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth for the periods indicated certain operating data associated with the Company's results of operations. Percentage Of Total Revenues Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, ------------------ ----------------- 1996 1995 1996 1995 --------- -------- ------- -------- Revenues 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Cost of revenues: Disposal costs paid to third parties 14.6 13.7 14.3 15.1 Other costs 63.3 62.1 63.3 58.7 ------ ------ ------ ------- Total cost of revenues 77.9 75.8 77.6 73.8 Selling, general and administrative expenses 17.3 18.9 18.6 19.0 Depreciation and amortization of intangible assets 4.8 4.7 5.1 4.8 Income (loss) from operations 0.0 0.6 (1.3) 2.3 Other Data: ---------- Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) (in thousands) $2,455 $2,878 $5,531 $11,227 COST OF REVENUES One of the largest components of cost of revenues is the cost of sending waste to other companies for disposal. The Company's outside disposal costs decreased to 14.3% of revenue in the first nine months of 1996 from 15.1% of revenue in the first nine months of 1995. The primary reason for the reduction in outside disposal cost was the acquisition of the Kimball incinerator. The remaining costs increased to 63.3% of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively as compared to 62.1% and 58.7% for the same periods of the prior year. A portion of this increase in "other costs" was associated with the operating costs of the Kimball incinerator. (10) 13 CLEAN HARBORS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company is continuing to implement cost savings plans to reduce operating costs. This implementation included a reduction in workforce of approximately 300 employees since September of 1995. Approximately 160 employees were eliminated in the third quarter of 1996. Another cost savings program which began in September of 1996 was the CleanEXPRESS program. This program is directed towards fully utilizing the Company's newly expanded Chicago facility by shipping waste materials directly from customers' locations. The cost savings plans are expected to reduce the Company's cost structure while improving service, quality and competitiveness in the marketplace. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 15% to $8,768,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to $10,267,000 for the same period of 1995. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 8% to $27,248,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to $29,748,000 for the same period of 1995. The decline in expenses represents the Company's continued efforts to control costs in areas such as the rental of office space and a reduction in administrative staff. While there continues to be an effort to expand the Company's sales and marketing capabilities, any increases in these costs have been more than offset by cost savings programs. The Company does not anticipate any significant increases for the remainder of 1996 in selling, general and administrative expenses. INTEREST EXPENSE Interest expense increased to $2,362,000 during the third quarter of 1996 from the previous year's interest expense of $2,328,000 for the same period. Interest expense increased to $6,870,000 during the first nine months of 1996 from $6,462,000 for the comparable period of the prior year. The increase in interest expense is due to the average borrowings for the nine months ended September 1996 being $6 million greater than for the nine months ended 1995. This increase in debt is primarily due to the costs associated with the acquisition of the Kimball incinerator. A portion of the increase in interest expense during 1996 was offset by interest income from restricted investments. INCOME TAXES The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was 25% as compared to 41% for the comparable period of 1995. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was 32% as compared to 43% for the comparable period of 1995. The rate can fluctuate significantly depending on the amount of income before taxes, as compared to the fixed amount of goodwill amortization and other non-deductible items. During the ordinary course of its business, the Company is audited by federal and state tax authorities which may result in proposed assessments. The Company believes that no current audits or assessments will result in charges which would be material to results of operations. (11) 14 CLEAN HARBORS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS From time to time, the Company and employees acting on behalf of the Company make forward-looking statements concerning the expected revenues, results of operations, capital expenditures, capital structure, plans and objectives of management for future operations, and future economic performance. This report contains forward-looking statements. There are many factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in a forward-looking statement, and there can be no assurance that such expectations will be realized. The Company's future operating results may be affected by a number of factors, including the Company's ability to: integrate successfully the CleanEXPRESS program; continue to implement the treatment and disposal reengineering program; utilize its facilities and workforce profitably, in the face of intense price competition; successfully increase market share in its existing service territory while expanding its product offerings into other markets; integrate additional hazardous waste management facilities, such as the Kimball incinerator and the expanded Chicago facility; realize benefits from cost reduction programs; and generate incremental volumes of waste to be handled through such facilities from existing sales offices and service centers and others which may be opened in the future. The future operating results of the Kimball incinerator may be affected by factors such as its ability to: obtain sufficient volumes of waste at prices which produce revenue sufficient to offset the operating costs of the facility; minimize downtime and disruptions of operations; and compete successfully against other incinerators which have an established share of the incineration market. The Company's operations may be affected by the commencement and completion of major site remediation projects; seasonal fluctuations due to weather and budgetary cycles influencing the timing of customers' spending for remedial activities; the timing of regulatory decisions relating to hazardous waste management projects; changes in the manufacturing sector towards waste minimization and delays in the remedial market; suspension of governmental permits; and fines and penalties for noncompliance with the myriad of regulations governing the Company's diverse operations. As a result of these factors, the Company's revenue and income could vary significantly from quarter to quarter, and past financial performance should not be considered a reliable indicator of future performance. FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY The Company has financed its operations and capital expenditures primarily by additions to long-term debt. During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company spent $2,467,000 on additions to plant and equipment and construction in progress, as compared to its capital expenditures of $5,998,000 during the same period of the prior year, during which the Company also spent $5,550,000 on the acquisition of the Kimball incinerator. During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, net additions to long-term debt were $4,069,000, as compared to net additions to long-term debt of $14,942,000 during the same period of the previous year. During the three months ended September 30, 1996 the Company received $753,000 from the sale of an office building. (12) 15 CLEAN HARBORS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS During the third quarter of 1996, the Company refinanced its $45,000,000 revolving credit and term loan agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with a financial institution by (i) guaranteeing $10,000,000 of 10.75% Economic Development Revenue Bonds due September 1, 2026 issued by the City of Kimball, Nebraska (the "Bonds"), and (ii) amending the Loan Agreement to reduce the maximum credit thereunder from $45,000,000 to $35,000,000. The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the Bonds to repay a portion of its outstanding debt under the Loan Agreement. That portion was originally incurred to pay for a portion of the costs of the Kimball incinerator and landfill, including the prepaid closure insurance programs, as well as the costs of improvements to the facility. As amended, the Loan Agreement provides for a $24,500,000 revolving credit portion (the "Revolver") and a $10,500,000 term loan portion. The Loan Agreement allows the Company to make regularly scheduled payments of principal and interest on its other indebtedness for borrowed money (including capital leases), to pay dividends in cash on its preferred stock, to prepay such debt or redeem such preferred stock, and to make acquisitions of other companies, provided that on each of the sixty consecutive days prior thereto, and after giving effect thereto, the Company shall maintain borrowing availability in excess of $4,500,000. The Company received from its lender a waiver for compliance with the Loan Agreement covenant requiring $4,500,000 of excess availability, which was granted through November 1996. The Company is continuing to renegotiate some of the terms of the Loan Agreement. Dividends on the Company's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are payable on the 15th day of January, April, July and October, at the rate of $1.00 per share, per quarter; 112,000 shares are outstanding. Under the terms of the preferred stock, the Company can elect to pay dividends in cash or in common stock with a market value equal to the amount of the dividend payable. The Company elected to pay the 1996 dividends in common stock. Accordingly, the Company has issued a total of 118,493 shares of common stock to the holders of the preferred stock for the year. The Company anticipates that the preferred stock dividends payable through 1996 will be paid in common stock. The Company believes it has adequate liquidity for its ongoing operations and planned capital needs. It is expected that capital expenditures in 1996 will be approximately $3,000,000.
