ITEM 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not
include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of
financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. However, in the opinion of Management,
all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary for a fair
presentation of the operating results have been included in the statements.

The accompanying financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified
as to certain amounts to conform with the 1997 presentation.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

Ogden has elected to change the reporting of its Business Segments as of January
1, 1997 and has restated its 1996 presentation to conform to this revised
Segment reporting. Two of Ogden's core businesses formerly reported as part of
the Services segment - Entertainment and Aviation - have been designated as
separate business segments. All other operations formerly in the Services
segment, mainly the Facility Management and Technology groups were transferred
to the Other segment except the Facility Management operations at Ogden's
Waste-to-Energy plants and its Environmental business which have been
transferred to the Energy Segment. Non-core businesses scheduled for disposition
are included in an Other group.



Revenues and income from operations (expressed in thousands of dollars) by
segment were as follows:

The Entertainment segment consists principally of interests in themed
attractions; live theater; concerts; gaming; large format theaters and films;
performing artist management; recorded music and video development; food,
beverage and novelty concession operations; and facility management at arenas,
stadiums, amphitheaters civic/convention centers and other recreational
facilities. These services are provided to a wide variety of public and private
facilities including stadiums, convention and exposition centers, arenas, parks,
amphitheaters, and fairgrounds located in the United States, Mexico, Canada,
Argentina, Germany, Australia, Spain and the United Kingdom. Entertainment also
operates a racetrack and five off-track betting parlors in Illinois.

The Aviation segment provides specialized support services to airlines at
locations throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, Latin America and the
Pacific Rim. The specialized support services provided by this group include
comprehensive ground handling, ramp, passenger, cargo and warehouse, aviation
fueling and in-flight catering services. These services are performed through
joint ventures, consortiums, contracts with individual airlines, 



consolidated agreements with several airlines, and contracts with various
airport authorities.

The operations of Ogden's Energy segment are conducted by Ogden Energy Group,
Inc. through four principal business groups: independent power, waste-to-energy,
water and waste water and environmental consulting and engineering (collectively
"Energy").

Operations:

Revenues for the first six months of 1997 were $187,800,000 lower than the
comparable period of 1996. The Entertainment segment revenues increased
$10,000,000 chiefly associated with the acquisition of Florida Leisure in 1996,
new accounts and the start-up of operations in Germany and Aruba. The Aviation
segment revenues were $16,200,000 lower reflecting reduced activity in inflight
catering and ground services operations resulting from the sale of the Miami and
Spanish inflight catering businesses and certain ground services operations,
partially offset by the gains on the sale of such operations in the six months
ended June 30, 1997. The Energy segment revenues were $4,100,000 lower primarily
due to reduced activity in the consulting and engineering groups, partially
offset by increased customer activity at several Waste-to-Energy facilities and
in the Independent Power group reflecting commencement of operations at the
Edison Bataan facility and increased activity at one other facility. Other
segment revenues declined $177,600,000 reflecting revenues of businesses sold
during 1996, namely, Facility operations outside of New York City; and the sale
of W.J. Schafer Associates and Ogden Professional Services, formerly in the
Technology Group, which reductions in revenues were partially offset by the gain
on the sale of the Corporation's 50% equity investment in the Universal Ogden
joint venture.

Consolidated operating income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was
$8,900,000 higher than the comparable period of 1996. Entertainment segment
income from operations was $1,300,000 higher than the comparable period of 1996
primarily reflecting increased activity in European operations partially offset
by development costs associated with the "American Wilderness Experience"(TM).
Aviation segment income from operations increased $16,400,000 chiefly associated
with the sale of the Miami and Spanish inflight catering operations and certain
ground services operations in 1997 and a charge in 1996 reflecting the decision
to close a ground service location, which were partially offset by reduced
activity in inflight catering operations. The Energy segment income from
operations was $4,700,000 higher primarily reflecting increased activities at
several Waste-to-Energy facilities. This increase was partially offset by lower
income in the Independent Power group due to increased development costs and
lower activity in the consulting and engineering income in the Environmental
group; Other segment income decreased $15,500,000 chiefly associated with the
businesses sold in 1996 partially offset 




by the sale in 1997 of the Corporation's 50% equity interest in the Universal
Ogden joint venture.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30,
1997 was $10,300,000 lower than the comparable period of 1996 chiefly associated
with the sale of non-core businesses and Ogden's continuing restructuring
activities. Debt service charges for the first six months ended June 30, 1997
were $2,700,000 lower than the comparable period of 1996 due primarily to lower
debt outstanding on various facilities caused by maturities and redemptions of
bonds.

The Energy segment has three interest rate swap agreements entered into as
hedges against interest rate exposure on three series of adjustable rate project
debt that resulted in additional debt service costs of $230,000 and $390,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Equity in net income of investees and joint ventures for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 was $270,000 lower than the comparable period of 1996 chiefly
associated with the earnings of the Universal Ogden joint venture sold in the
first quarter of 1997 partially offset by increased earnings of Aviation's Macau
joint venture.

The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was 43% compared
with 42% for the comparable period of 1996.

Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $3,600,000 higher
than the comparable period of 1996 primarily reflecting interest earned on
higher cash and cash equivalents, and notes receivable from the sale of
operations as well as increased loans to customers and joint ventures.

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was comparable with the
similar period of 1996. Ogden has two interest rate swap agreements covering
notional amounts of $100,000,000 and $5,500,000, respectively. The first swap
agreement expires on December 16, 1998 and was entered into in order to convert
Ogden's fixed rate $100,000,000 9.25% debentures into variable rate debt. The
second swap agreement expires November 20, 2000, and was entered into in order
to convert Ogden's $5,500,000 variable rate debt to a fixed rate. During the six
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, Ogden paid $80,000 and $70,000,
respectively, on these swap agreements.

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1997 were $94,200,000 lower than
the comparable period of 1996. The Entertainment segment revenues increased
$6,700,000 chiefly associated with increased activity in Florida Leisure
operations and the start-up of operations in Germany and Aruba. The Aviation
segment revenues were $14,000,000 lower reflecting the closing of a ground
services operation in 1996 and the sale of the Miami inflight catering kitchen
and certain other 



ground services operations in the first quarter of 1997, as well as reduced
customer activity in the inflight catering operations. The Energy segment
revenues were $5,600,000 lower primarily due to reduced activity in the
consulting, engineering and remediation businesses of the Environmental group,
partially offset by increased revenues in the Waste-to-Energy group chiefly
associated with increased activity at several facilities and increased
Independent Power revenues primarily reflecting the acquisition of the Edison
Bataan facility in August 1996. The Other segment revenues declined $81,200,000
reflecting revenues of businesses sold in 1996 namely Facility operations
outside of New York City and the sale of Ogden Professional Services, formerly
in the Technology Group. The decrease in revenues was partially offset by the
net gain on the sale of these businesses in 1996.

Consolidated operating income for the three months ended June 30, 1997 were
$6,700,000 higher than the comparable period of 1996. Entertainment segment
income from operations increased $1,800,000 chiefly associated with increased
European and South American operations as well as increased activity at several
venues. These increases were partially offset by development costs on the
"American Wilderness Experience"(TM) project. The Aviation segment income from
operations was $12,600,000 higher primarily reflecting the gain on the sale of
the Spanish inflight catering operations in 1997 and a loss recorded on the
closing of a ground service operation in 1996, partially offset by reduced
activity in inflight catering operations. The Energy segment income from
operations was $5,600,000 higher primarily reflecting increased activity in the
several Waste-to-Energy facilities and the settlement of certain litigation,
partially offset by lower Independent Power operating income chiefly associated
with increased development costs. Other segment operating income was $15,000,000
lower primarily due to businesses sold in 1996 and 1997 partially offset by the
sale of the Corporation's 50% equity interest in the Universal joint venture.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30,
1997 were $4,600,000 lower than the comparable period of 1996 chiefly associated
with the sale of non-core businesses as well as Ogden's continuing restructuring
activities. Debt service charges for the three months ended June 30, 1997 were
$1,400,000 lower than the comparable period of 1996 primarily due to lower debt
outstanding due to bond redemptions and maturities. The three interest rate swap
agreements entered into as hedges against interest rate exposure on a series of
adjustable rate project debt resulted in lower debt service of $9,000 in the
second quarter of 1997 and increased debt service costs of $160,000 in the
comparable period of 1996.

Interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 was $2,300,000 higher than
the comparable period of 1996 chiefly associated with interest earned on higher
cash and cash equivalents, interest earned 




on notes receivable in connection with the sale of operations as well as on
increased loans to customers and joint ventures.

Interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 was $1,000,000 higher than
the comparable period of 1996 primarily reflecting increased borrowings. During
the three months ending June 30, 1997 and 1996, Ogden paid $50,000 and $110,000
on two interest rate swap agreements.

Equity in net income of investees and joint ventures for the three months ended
June 30, 1997 was $800,000 lower than the comparable period of 1996 primarily
due to the sale of Ogden's 50% interest in Universal Ogden joint venture in the
first quarter of 1997 and lower earnings in Independent Power joint ventures,
partially offset by increased earnings in Aviation's Macau joint venture.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was 43% compared
with 42% for the comparable period of 1996.

Capital Investments and Commitments: During the six months of 1997, capital
investments amounted to $46,000,000, of which $13,100,000, inclusive of
restricted funds transferred from funds held in trust, was for Energy facilities
and $32,900,000 was for normal replacement and growth in Entertainment, Aviation
and Energy's operations.

At June 30, 1997, capital commitments amounted to $129,000,000, which included
$87,600,000 for normal replacement, modernization, and growth in Entertainment
($63,600,000), Aviation ($7,100,000), Energy ($13,700,000), corporate and other
($3,200,000) operations. Also included was $41,400,000 for Energy's coal-fired
power project in The Philippines reflecting $22,000,000 for mandatory equity
contributions, $5,700,000 for contingent equity contributions, and $13,700,000
for a standby letter of credit in support of debt service reserve requirements.
Funding for the mandatory equity contribution is being provided by a bank credit
facility, which must be repaid in December 2001. Ogden also has a contingent
equity contribution amounting to approximately $5,000,000 in connection with an
Entertainment joint venture. In addition, compliance with standards and
guidelines under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 may require further Energy
capital expenditures of $30,000,000 during the next four to five years.

During 1994, a subsidiary of Ogden entered into a 30-year facility management
contract, pursuant to which it agreed to advance funds to a customer including,
if necessary, to assist the customers' refinancing of senior secured debt it
incurred in connection with the construction of the facility. To facilitate
refinancing this senior secured debt, on April 1, 1997 Ogden purchased all such
senior secured debt amounting to approximately $92,000,000. This is included in
"long term notes receivables". Funds for this purchase were provided by a 



bank credit facility due March 26, 2000. This is included in "long term notes
payable". Ogden expects that this note receivable will be sold to a third party
during 1997, thereby repaying funds it had borrowed and advanced. After such
sale, Ogden is expected to retain an obligation to purchase such senior secured
debt if the debt is not refinanced prior to March 2000. This obligation is
expected to be collateralized by bank letters of credit. In addition, at June
30, 1997, the Corporation has guaranteed indebtedness of $16,100,000 of an
affiliate and principal tenant of this customer, which is due in September 1997.
Ogden continues as guarantor of surety bonds and letters of credit totaling
approximately $14,600,000 on behalf of International Terminal Operating Co. Inc.
and has guaranteed borrowings of certain customers amounting to approximately
$14,400,000 as well as $10,500,000 of borrowings of joint ventures in which
Ogden has an equity interest. Management does not expect that these arrangements
will have a material adverse effect on Ogden's Consolidated Financial
Statements.

Ogden and certain of its subsidiaries have issued or are party to performance
bonds and guarantees and related contractual obligations undertaken mainly
pursuant to agreements to construct and operate certain waste-to-energy,
entertainment, and other facilities. In the normal course of business, they also
are involved in legal proceedings in which damages and other remedies are
sought. Management does not expect that these contractual obligations, legal
proceedings, or any other contingent obligations incurred in the normal course
of business will have a material adverse effect on Ogden's Consolidated
Financial Statements.

Liquidity/Cash Flow - Net cash provided from operating activities for the six
months of 1997 was $63,700,000 higher than the comparable period of 1996
primarily reflecting a decrease of $63,800,000 in accounts receivable
principally relating to businesses disposed of and the collection of receivables
reflecting the settlement of certain litigations, a decrease of $26,600,000 as
inventory requirements have leveled off and a decrease of $21,600,000 in Other
assets reflecting decreased spending for contract acquisition costs, insurance
and spare parts at various Energy facilities partially offset by a net decrease
of $35,400,000 in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Net cash used in
investing activities increased $190,300,000 primarily reflecting a net increase
in loans to customers of $91,800,000 and investments in joint ventures of
$26,700,000, increased capital expenditures of $19,200,000 primarily in the
Energy and Entertainment segments, and a reduction in proceeds from the sale of
businesses of $47,000,000. Net cash provided by financing activities increased
$123,700,000 reflecting an increase in new debt of $123,400,000 primarily
reflecting bank financing for a loan to a customer and Energy's investment in
the Quezon joint venture.



Exclusive of changes in Energy facility construction activities, the
Corporation's various types of contracts are not expected to have a material
effect on liquidity. Debt service associated with project debt, which is an
explicit component of a client community's obligation under its service
agreement, is paid as it is billed and collected. Cash required for investing
and financing activities is expected to be satisfied from operating activities;
available funds, including short-term investments; proceeds from the sale of
non-core businesses; and the Corporation's unused credit facilities to the
extent needed.

At June 30, 1997, the Corporation had $165,300,000 in cash and cash equivalents
and unused revolving credit lines of $214,100,000.

Subsequent Event - On July 31, 1997, Ogden sold its Facility Services operations
in New York City completing the disposition of Ogden's Facility Services
Operations.



                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

         Ogden Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company") are parties to
various legal proceedings involving matters arising in the ordinary course of
business. The Company does not believe that there are any pending legal
proceedings for damages against the Company, the outcome of which would have a
material adverse effect on the Company on a consolidated basis.

(b)      Environmental Matters

         The Company conducts regular inquiries of its subsidiaries regarding
litigation and environmental violations which include determining the nature,
amount and likelihood of liability for any such claims, potential claims or
threatened litigation.

         In the ordinary course of its business, the Company may become involved
in Federal, state, and local proceedings relating to the laws regulating the
discharge of materials into the environment and the protection of the
environment. These include proceedings for the issuance, amendment, or renewal
of the licenses and permits pursuant to which a Company subsidiary operates.
Such proceedings also include actions brought by individuals or local
governmental authorities seeking to overrule governmental decisions on matters
relating to the subsidiaries' operations in which the subsidiary may be, but is
not necessarily, a party. Most proceedings brought against the Company by
governmental authorities or private parties under these laws relate to alleged
technical violations of regulations, licenses, or permits pursuant to which a
subsidiary operates. The Company believes that such proceedings will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company on a consolidated basis.

         The Company's operations are subject to various Federal, state and
local environmental laws and regulations, including the Clean Air Act, the Clean
Water Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability
Act (CERCLA) and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Although the
Company operations are occasionally subject to proceedings and orders pertaining
to emissions into the environment and other environmental violations, the
Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with existing
environmental laws and regulations.

         In connection with certain previously divested operations, the Company
may be identified, along with other entities, as being among potentially
responsible parties responsible for contribution for costs associated with the
correction and remediation of environmental conditions at various hazardous
waste disposal sites subject to CERCLA. In certain liability for remedial action
or damages. The Company's ultimate 


                                      II-1


liability in connection with such environmental claims will depend on many
factors, including its volumetric share of waste, the total cost of remediation,
the financial viability of other companies that also sent waste to a given site
and its contractual arrangement with the purchaser of such operations.

         The potential costs related to such matters and the possible impact on
future operations are uncertain due in part to the complexity of government laws
and regulations and their interpretations, the varying costs and effectiveness
of cleanup technologies, the uncertain level of insurance or other types of
recovery, and the questionable level of the Company's responsibility. Although
the ultimate outcome and expense of environmental remediation is uncertain, the
Company believes that required remediation and continuing compliance with
environmental laws will not have a material adverse effect on the Company on a
consolidated basis.
