   and nanofiltration technologies.

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

      This section contains forward-looking statements that are based on current
Company expectations and are subject to a number of factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially. Such factors include, but are not limited
to, market demand, competitive pricing considerations, regulatory approval and
market acceptance of new technologies.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      Rochem Environmental, Inc., a Utah corporation (the "Company"), is
primarily engaged in the business of providing industrial wastewater treatment
services and capital equipment to companies in the refining, petrochemical and
oil and gas industries. In connection therewith, the Company utilizes patented
technology licensed exclusively to it through a distributor agreement from
Rochem Separation Systems, Inc. ("RSS"), a majority owned subsidiary of Rochem
AG. The patented technology involves the use of Rochem's Disc Tube(TM) form of
membrane separation modules. Management believes this process is superior to
other technologies in its ability to cost effectively treat a wide variety of
wastewaters with the recovery of relatively pure water and the concentration of
products and by-products for reuse or disposal.

      The Company's consolidated revenues grew by 63% to $394,402 for the three
months ended December 31, 1997, from $242,262 for the three months ended
December 31, 1996. The increased revenue is due to a product lease contract,
product sales and increased service work during the three months ended December
31, 1997 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 1996.

      The revenue generated by service activity as a percent of total continues
to be balanced with a growth in product lease and product sales indicating an
increase in customer base as evidenced by 73% of the three months ended December
31, 1997 revenue being provided by service activities as compared to 100% for
the three months ended December 31, 1996.

      Gross profit increased by 48% to $127,633 for the three months ended
December 31, 1997 as compared to $86,385 for the three months ended December 31,
1996. This increase was primarily achieved through revenue growth over the
previous period.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $326,115 for the
three months ended December 31, 1997 from $276,266 for the three months ended
December 31, 1996, of which approximately $115,518 and $120,653, respectively,
were non-cash expenses associated with amortization and depreciation. This
increase resulted primarily from the timing of tax payments, insurance credits
and an increase in personnel and related costs. The expenses associated with tax
payments and insurance credits will not be reoccurring through the 1998 fiscal
year. The costs associated with personnel are related with the Company's growth
strategy and expanded activities.

      Interest expense decreased to $4,647 for the three months ended December
31, 1997 from $7,889 for the three months ended December 31, 1996.

                                       7

      Net loss increased to $203,129 for the three months ended December 31,
1997 from $197,770 for the three months ended December 31, 1996. This increase
is primarily due to the impact of nonrecurring expenses and the Company's
investment in strategic personnel that are expected to result in increased
revenue and gross profit in future periods.

      As of December 31, 1997, the Company had a total of 10 employees, 7 of
whom were involved in field operations and testing, 1 devoted full time to sales
activities and 2 involved in the general administrative and financial areas.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      As of December 31, 1997, the Company had a working capital deficit of
$392,185 and a quick ratio of 0.4 to 1.0 as compared to net working capital
deficit of $266,842 and a quick ratio of 0.3 to 1.0 on December 31, 1996. This
increase in working capital deficit is primarily due to the increase in current
liabilities for capital expenditures to acquire rental service equipment and is
related to an increase in accounts payable to related parties. Current assets
increased to $238,879 as of December 31, 1997 from $136,113 as of December 31,
1996. Inventory decreased to $83,872 as of December 31, 1997 from $197,576 at
December 31, 1996. This reduction in inventory was due to the transfer of
equipment from inventory to rental service equipment for which the Company had a
contract.

      Net cash provided by operating activities in the three months ended
December 31, 1997 was $66,519. In contrast, in the three months ended December
31, 1996 operating activities used $73,073. This increase in net cash provided
by operating activities is primarily due to the Company's improvement in gross
profit net of non-cash adjustments.

      Net cash used for the purchase of capital equipment during the three
months ended December 31, 1997 was $39,358 as compared to $0 during the three
months ended December 31, 1996. This additional rental service equipment was
acquired to support contract work that is expected to continue through Fiscal
1998.

      During the three months ended December 31, 1997, financing activities used
net cash of $67,489. These financing activities were primarily the retirement of
a loan.

      In January 1997, the Company obtained a $50,000 loan from Fluid Separation
Systems for working capital needs. This loan bears interest at 10% due at
maturity and is due in July 1998. In May 1997, the Company obtained a $120,000
loan from Citizens Bank and Trust to partially fund the construction of
equipment for which the Company has a rental contract. This loan was for six
months and was fully repaid in November 1997.

      In Fiscal 1996, the Company had not generated sufficient internal cash
flow to fund operations and to satisfy the debt obligations to Rochem AG and
Lefco. In January 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with Rochem AG
whereby Rochem AG 

                                       8
<PAGE>
converted the principal amount of its January 1995 $50,000 loan into 500,000
shares of Company Common Stock, purchased an additional 500,000 shares of
Company common stock for $50,000, and agreed to provide the Company a $100,000
credit facility to meet working capital needs during Fiscal 1996. Through this
credit facility, Fluid Separation Systems loaned the Company $25,000 in December
1995, $50,000 in February 1996 and $25,000 in July 1996. On January 31, 1996,
the Company used the proceeds of these transactions to retire a $50,000 loan
from Citizens Bank. In December 1996, Fluid Separation Systems granted
extensions to the maturity date and waived interest payments until the maturity
date of the loans. The loans bear interest of prime plus 2% for the December 
1995 loan and 10% for the February and July 1996 loans and are due June 1998, 
July 1998 and December 1998, respectively.

      Additionally, in January 1996, Lefco agreed to convert its January 1995
$50,000 loan into 500,000 shares of Company common stock and provided a $50,000
credit facility to be utilized by the Company to meet working capital needs
during the 1996 fiscal year. In September 1996, the Company exercised the
$50,000 credit facility with Lefco. This loan was repaid in September 1997
through the Company obtaining a loan for the final payment of $43,249 from
Woodforest National Bank. This loan requires monthly installments of principal
and interest of $3,794 and matures September 1998.

      As noted above, the Company has had a working capital deficit of $392,185
including $125,000 due and payable within Fiscal 1998 from loan facilities
provided by a related party. In Fiscal 1997, the Company made capital
investments to acquire additional and to upgrade existing rental service
equipment for present customers. These investments are expected to continue to
provide additional cash in Fiscal 1998. The Company is currently in negotiations
for several contracts that the Company believes will generate sufficient cash
flows to continue to fund operations and meet working capital needs during
Fiscal 1998. Because the timing of these projects cannot be controlled, the
Company is evaluating and exploring other financing alternatives. In the event
additional funding is required, the Company will consider alternatives to do so
through a combination of efforts or methods, including additional extensions on
its notes payable, financing rental service equipment or contracts, joint
ventures, equity investors, venture capital groups, institutions, issuance of
convertible or subordinated debt, or a form of business combinations. Should the
need arise for the use of any of these methods to raise capital, there can be no
assurances that any of these alternatives will be available to the Company.
