               COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the
Company's officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of
a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of
ownership on Form 3 and changes in ownership on Forms 4 or 5 with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and the NASDAQ.  These officers,
directors and ten percent shareholders are also required by SEC rules to
furnish the Company with copies of all forms they file.

     Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by the
Company, or written representations from certain reporting persons, the Company
believes that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers,
directors and ten percent shareholders were complied with except that Mike
Melnik submitted late a report on Form 3 in connection with shares issued in
the HouTex acquisition and Donald F. Moorehead, Jr. submitted late a report on
Form 4 relating to a single transaction that occurred on April 29, 1997.

fewer than 75% of the aggregate of all meetings of the Board of Directors.  The
Board of Directors has three standing committees:  an Audit Committee, an
Executive Compensation Committee and a Nominating Committee.

     The Audit Committee is comprised of Xavier Hermosillo, T. Benjamin
Jennings and Donald F. Moorehead, Jr.  This committee recommends engagement of
the Company's independent accountants, approves services performed by these
accountants, and reviews and evaluates the Company's accounting system and its
system of internal accounting controls.  This committee did not meet during
fiscal 1997.

     The Executive Compensation Committee is comprised of Xavier Hermosillo,
Donald F. Moorehead, Jr. and Harold Rubenstein.  This committee reviews and
administers the compensation of officers of the Company.  This committee did
not meet during fiscal 1997.

     The Nominating Committee is comprised of Gerard M. Jacobs, T. Benjamin
Jennings and Xavier Hermosillo.  This committee nominates candidates for the
Board and will consider nominees recommended by Stockholders.  This committee
did not meet during fiscal 1997.

     Under the bylaws of the Company, nominations for the election of Directors
may be made by any Stockholder entitled to vote in the election of directors,
but only if written notice of such Stockholder's intent to make such
nominations has been received by the Company at its principal executive office
not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the meeting at which
Directors are to be elected; provided, however, that in the event that less
than 50 days notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is
given or made to Stockholders, notice by the Stockholder to be timely must be
so received not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the
day on which notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or public disclosure
was made.  The Stockholder's notice must set forth:  (1) with respect to each
proposed nominee, the name, age, business and residence address, principal
occupation or employment, class, and number of shares of stock of the Company
owned and any other information that is required to be disclosed in
solicitations of proxies for election of Directors pursuant to Regulation 14A
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and (2) with respect to the Stockholder
giving the notice, name, address and class and number of shares of the Company
that are beneficially owned by such Stockholder.  The presiding officer of the
meeting may refuse to acknowledge the nomination of any person not made in
compliance with the foregoing procedure.

(1)  All options are 100% vested.
(2)  The potential realizable value is calculated based on the term of the
     option at its time of grant (ten years) assuming that the stock price on
     the date of grant appreciates at the indicated annual rate compounded
     annually for the entire term of the option and that the option is
     exercised and sold on the last day of its term for the appreciated stock
     price.  No gain to the optionee is possible unless the stock price
     increases over the option term.

     The following table sets forth the employee stock options exercised during
fiscal year 1997 by the executive officers listed below and the number and
value of securities underlying unexercised options held by the executive

                             EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

     The Company currently has employment agreements, each dated April 9, 1996
(or April 11, 1996, in the case of Mr. George O. Moorehead), with certain of
the executive officers named above.  Under these agreements, Mr. Jacobs serves
as President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Jennings serves as Chairman of
the Board and Chief Development Officer and Mr. George O. Moorehead serves as
Executive Vice President of the Company and President of EMCO.  Each employment
agreement contains substantially identical terms.  In particular, each
agreement:  (1) has a term of five years, which is automatically extended each
year for an additional year unless either the Company or the individual elects
not to extend the term; and (2) provides for an annual base salary of $168,000
per year.  Each agreement restricts the employee from competing, directly or
indirectly, with the Company for five years following termination of
employment.  In the event of a "change of control" (defined in each employment
agreement) the term of the employment agreement will be extended for an
additional two years, and each employee will receive, in addition to other
benefits, a cash payment equal to:  (1) the employee's current annual base
salary plus the highest annual bonus for the previous three years; times (2)
the number of years remaining until the employee would reach the age of 65, but
no more than five.

     REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

     In establishing and monitoring executive compensation, the Committee
focuses on the Company's mission to continually improve its position in the
scrap metal industry, with a strong focus on improving cashflow and increasing
shareholder value.  The Company's executive compensation policy is designed to
enable the Company to attract, retain and motivate the high caliber executives
which the Board and the Committee believe are required in order to achieve the
Company's objective.  Each executive officer's compensation, including that of
Messrs. Jacobs and Jennings, is comprised of three elements:  (1) base salary;
(2) annual bonus; and (3) incentive compensation.  Executive compensation
levels are established based on the Committee's evaluation of market terms and
conditions coupled with the Board's view of what is necessary to attract and
retain key executive officers.  Adjustments are made to each executive
officer's total compensation package based on changes in the market factors as
well as each individual's contribution to the Company's performance.  Further,
the Company grants stock options as an additional element of compensation.
These stock options are designed to closely align each executive officer's
future compensation to the Company's long-term financial success, as measured
by stock performance.  The total number of options awarded each executive is
based on a subjective evaluation of the performance of each executive under
consideration without regard to the number of options held by or previously
granted to each executive.  At no point during the last completed fiscal year
did the Company's board modify or reject in any material way any action or
recommendation of the Compensation Committee.

                                                   The Compensation Committee:

                                                   Xavier Hermosillo
