OPERATIONS:

Revenues for the first six months of 1998 were $21,600,000 lower than the
comparable period of 1997. This was primarily due to a decline of $106,300,000
in the Other segment chiefly associated with the sales of Facility Services New
York operations in July 1997 and certain operations of Atlantic Design Company
(ADC), a contract manufacturing business in late 1997 and in early 1998. The
Entertainment segment's revenues were $33,100,000 higher reflecting increased
activity at the World Trade Center and certain sports venues, the partial
start-up of 





Entertainment sites in Arizona, Texas and Florida, and the
acquisition of the Enchanted Castle in late 1997. The Aviation segment's
revenues were $4,000,000 higher primarily reflecting the gain on the sale of the
domestic catering operations and the gain on the sale of a 5% interest in the
Hong Kong ground services company. These increases in aviation revenues were
partially offset by the effect of the sale in 1997 of the Miami and Spanish
inflight catering business and certain ground services operations. The Energy
segment's revenues were $47,600,000 higher primarily due to Independent Power
operations including the results of the acquisition in late 1997 of both Pacific
Energy and a 60% interest in four cogeneration plants in China, and increased
production at the Edison Bataan facility; the buy-out of a Waste-to-Energy power
purchase contract; and increased construction revenues associated with retrofit
activity at several facilities.

Consolidated operating income for the first six months of 1998 was $7,800,000
higher than the comparable period of 1997. The Entertainment segment's income
from operations was $4,300,000 higher primarily reflecting increased activity at
the World Trade Center and certain sports venues, the partial start-up of
Entertainment sites in Arizona, Texas and Florida and other credits. These
increases in Entertainment's income from operations were partially offset by
start-up expenses at the Tinseltown operation. The Aviation segment's income
from operations was $20,900,000 higher primarily reflecting the gain on the sale
of the domestic inflight catering business in June 1998, and the gain on the
sale of a 5% interest in the Hong Kong ground services company. These increases
in Aviation's income from operations in 1998 were offset in part by reduced
European operations, provision for restructuring European operations, certain
legal claims and other charges in 1998, and in part by the gain on the sale in
1997 of the Miami and Spanish inflight catering business and certain ground
services operations. The Energy segment's income from operations was $1,900,000
lower primarily reflecting an increase of $800,000 in Waste-to-Energy operations
chiefly associated with increased operating results at four facilities,
partially offset by increased maintenance costs and decreased operating results
at a facility due to a service agreement adjustment. In addition, construction
income increased $400,000 due to the commencement of retrofit activity at
several facilities. These increases were more than offset by the Independent
Power group's income from operations decreasing $500,000 primarily due to
provisions established for several geothermal operations and increased
development costs, partially offset by the results of Pacific Energy and the
groups 60% interest in four cogeneration plants in China, both acquired in 1997;
increased production at the Edison Bataan facility and the Environmental group's
income from operations decreasing $2,500,000 primarily reflecting the write-off
of uncollectible notes receivable. The Other segment's income from operations
was $5,600,000 lower chiefly associated with the sale of an investment in
Universal Ogden in the first quarter of 1997.

Corporate unallocated expenses - net for the six months ended June 30, 1998
increased $9,300,000 over the comparable period of 1997. This increase was
primarily due to restructuring costs, certain litigation and proxy related
charges.

Equity in net income of investees and joint ventures for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 was $3,100,000 higher than the comparable period of 1997 chiefly
associated with the buy-out of an energy sales agreement with respect to a 50%
joint venture, the results of Pacific Energy joint ventures acquired in
September 1997 and increased activity in several aviation joint ventures. 




These increases were partially offset by start-up costs of the Bogota, Colombia
and Argentina 2000 airport operations as well as low activity in Entertainment's
Spanish theme park joint venture.

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 $360,000 and 
$200,000 for the first six months of 1998 and 1997.

Interest income for the first six months of 1998 was $3,600,000 lower than the
comparable period of 1997 primarily reflecting the repayment of debt by a
customer and lower average cash and cash equivalents. Interest expense was
$600,000 lower chiefly associated with reduced borrowings and payments on
outstanding debt, partially offset by increased interest on notes issued in
connection with the acquisition of Pacific Energy in September 1997. Ogden has
two interest rate swap agreements covering notional amounts of $100,000,000 and
$4,300,000, 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 on
November 30, 2000 and was entered into in order to convert Ogden's $4,300,000
variable rate debt to a fixed rate. These agreements resulted in additional
interest expense of $190,000 and $80,000 for the first six months of 1998 and
1997, respectively.

The effective income tax rate for the first six months of 1998 was 38% compared
with 43% for the comparable period of 1997. This decrease of 5% was chiefly
associated with higher foreign earnings in countries with lower income tax
rates, and non-conventional fuel tax credits generated by Pacific Energy.

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998 were $20,500,000 higher than
the comparable period of 1997. The Entertainment segment's revenues were
$19,600,000 higher reflecting increased customer activity in food and beverage
operations at sports venues and the World Trade Center, the partial start-up of
Entertainment sites in Arizona, Texas and Florida and the acquisition of
Enchanted Castle in late 1997. The Aviation segment's revenue was $24,100,000
higher primarily reflecting the gain on the sale of the domestic inflight
catering operations in June 1998. This increase was partially offset by the gain
on the sale in 1997 of the Spanish inflight catering operations and certain
ground services operations. The Energy segment's revenues were $29,800,000
higher primarily due to Independent Power operations, including the results of
the acquisition in 1997 of both Pacific Energy and a 60% interest in four
cogeneration plants in China, and increased production on the Edison Bataan
facility; the buyout of a Waste-to-Energy power purchase agreement; and an
increase in the consulting and engineering business of Ogden Environmental.
These increases in revenues were partially offset by a decrease of $52,900,000
in the Other segment's revenues primarily due to the previous sale of certain
operations of ADC and Facility Services New York operations.

Consolidated operating income for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was
$7,300,000 higher than the comparable period of 1997. The Entertainment
segment's income from operations was $2,100,000 higher primarily due to
increased activity at several sports venues and the World Trade Center, the
acquisition of Enchanted Castle, the partial start-up of an entertainment site
in Florida and other credits. These increases were partially offset by start up
costs at the 





Tinseltown operation. The Aviation segment's income from operations
was $19,400,000 higher primarily reflecting the gain on the sale of the domestic
inflight catering operations in June 1998. This increase was offset in part by
reduced European operations, provisions for restructuring European operations,
certain legal claims and other charges in 1998 and in part by the gain on the
sale of the Spanish inflight kitchen and certain ground services operations. The
Energy segment's income from operations was $5,600,000 lower primarily due to a
reduction of $4,500,000 in Independent Power reflecting provisions established
for several geothermal operations and increased development costs. These
decreases were partially offset by the results of Pacific Energy and the group's
60% interest in four cogeneration plants in China acquired in 1997; the
Environmental group's income from operations decreased $2,000,000 reflecting the
write-off of uncollectible notes receivables. Waste-to-Energy operations
increased $800,000. The Other segment's income from operations increased
$1,500,000 chiefly associated with the previous sale of certain ADC operations.

Unallocated corporate expenses - net for the three months ended June 30, 1998
were $10,200,000 higher than the comparable period of 1997 chiefly associated
with restructuring costs, certain litigation and proxy related charges.

Equity in net income of investees and joint ventures for the three months ended
June 30, 1998 was $3,500,000 higher than the comparable period of 1997 primarily
reflecting the buyout of an energy sales agreement with respect to a 50% owned
joint venture, the results of Pacific Energy joint ventures acquired in 1997 and
increased activity at several aviation joint ventures. These increases were
partially offset by start-up costs of the Bogota, Colombia and Argentina 2000
airport operations as well as low activity in Entertainment's Spanish theme park
joint venture.

At June 30, 1998, the Energy segment had three interest rate swap agreements
which resulted in additional debt service expense of $108,000 and lower debt
service expense of $9,000 during the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was $2,900,000 lower
than the comparable period of 1997 chiefly associated with the repayment of debt
by customers and lower average cash and cash equivalents. Interest expense was
$1,400,000 lower chiefly associated with reduced short term borrowings and
payments on outstanding debt, partially offset by interest on notes issued in
connection with the acquisition of Pacific Energy. Ogden has two interest rate
swap agreements which resulted in additional interest expense of $41,000 and
$46,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was 39%
compared with 43% for the comparable period of 1997. This decrease of 4%
primarily reflects higher foreign earnings in countries with lower tax rates and
non-conventional fuel tax credits.

Capital Investments and Commitments: During the first six months of 1998,
capital investments amounted to $65,700,000, of which $12,100,000, inclusive of
restricted funds transferred from funds held in trust, was for Energy facilities
and $53,600,000 was for normal replacement and growth in Entertainment
($29,200,000), Aviation ($20,900,000), Energy ($2,900,000) operations and Other
($600,000). 





At June 30, 1998, capital commitments amounted to $139,000,000 which included
$68,500,000 for normal replacement, modernization, and growth in Entertainment
($52,400,000), Aviation ($4,100,000), and Energy ($12,000,000) operations. Also
included was $38,100,000 for Energy's coal-fired power project in The
Philippines reflecting $18,700,000 for the remaining mandatory equity
contribution, $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 remaining mandatory equity contribution is being provided
through a bank credit facility, which must be repaid in December 2001. The
Corporation also has a $21,000,000 equity commitment in an Aviation joint
venture in Argentina and a $11,400,000 contingent equity commitment in an
entertainment venture. In addition, compliance with standards and guidelines
under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 will require further Energy capital
expenditures currently estimated at $25,000,000 by December 2000 subject to the
final time schedules determined by the individual states in which the Company's
waste-to-energy facilities are located.

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 are
involved in legal proceedings in which damages and other remedies are sought. In
connection with certain contractual arrangements, Ogden has agreed to provide
two vendors with specified amounts of business over a three year period. If
these amounts are not provided, the corporation may be liable for prorated
damages of up to approximately $5,000,000. 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.

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 and, if
necessary, to assist the customers' refinancing of senior secured debt incurred
in connection with the construction of the facility. During 1997, Ogden
purchased the customer's senior secured debt in the amount of $95,000,000, using
borrowed funds, which senior secured debt was subsequently sold and the borrowed
funds repaid. Ogden is obligated to repurchase such senior secured debt in the
amount of $97,050,000 on December 30, 2002 if the debt is not refinanced prior
to that time. Ogden's repurchase obligation is collateralized by bank letters of
credit. Ogden is also required to repurchase the outstanding amount of certain
subordinated secured debt of such customer on December 30, 2002. At June 30,
1998, the amount outstanding was $51,625,000. In addition, the Corporation has
guaranteed indebtedness of $20,683,000 of an affiliate and principal tenant of
this customer, which indebtedness is due in September 1998. Ogden also has
guaranteed borrowing's of a customer amounting to approximately $13,200,000 as
well as $13,800,000 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.

Liquidity/Cash Flow - Net cash provided from operating activities was
$143,100,000 higher than the comparable period of 1997 primarily reflecting an
increase in deferred income of $204,000,000 chiefly associated with the
prepayment of a power purchase agreement for the Haverhill waste-to-energy
plant, partially offset by the collection in 1997 of $41,700,000 relating to




certain legal settlements. Net cash used in investing activities decreased
$113,700,000 primarily reflecting a net decrease in loans to customers of
$99,300,000, and increased proceeds of $35,900,000 from the sale of businesses.
These decreases in net cash used in investing activities were partially offset
by increased capital expenditures of $20,800,000 primarily in the Entertainment
and Aviation segments and increased investments and advances to investees and
joint ventures of $5,100,000. Net cash used in financing activities was
$238,000,000 higher chiefly associated with an increase of funds held in trust
of $198,000,000 relating to the prepayment of a power purchase agreement,
$22,200,000 for the purchase of treasury shares and a net reduction of
$23,100,000 of debt.

At June 30, 1998, the Corporation had $228,900,000 in cash and cash equivalents
and unused revolving credit lines of $184,600,000.

In January 1998, Ogden's Board of Directors reauthorized the purchase of shares
of the Corporation's common stock in an amount up to $100,000,000. From January
1 through August 10, 1998, 1,165,700 shares of common stock were purchased for
$32,418,000.

                           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, other than ordinary routine
litigation incidental to its business, the outcome of which would have a
material adverse effect on the Company on a consolidated basis.

(a)               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's consolidated financial statements.

          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 instances the Company may be
exposed to joint and several liability for remedial action or damages. The
Company's ultimate 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.



                                      II-1


          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's
consolidated financial statements.
