PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item No. 1 Financial Statements

                OP-TECH ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC.
      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they
do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the
opinion of management, quarterly results include all adjustments (consisting
of only normal recurring adjustments) that the Company considers
necessary for a fair presentation of such information for interim periods.

The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries.  All material intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. The timing of revenues is dependent on the Company's backlog, contract
awards, and the performance requirements of each contract.  The
Company's revenues are also affected by the timing of its clients planned
remediation work as well as the timing of unplanned emergency spills.   
Accordingly, quarterly or other interim results should not be considered
indicative of results to be expected for any quarter or for the full year. 

3. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has
suffered recurring losses from operations since inception and has a working
capital and equity deficiency at June 30, 1997 which raise substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
          
Substantially all of the Company's debt is with one financial institution, and
such agreements have cross default provisions.  As a result of non
compliance with covenants on certain of the debt, all of the debt is deemed
to be in default and callable by the Bank and other creditors.  Though the
Bank or any other creditor has not, as of this date, called the obligations,
there can be no assurances they will not exercise their right in the future. 
Accordingly, all debt related to this Bank and other creditors has been
classified as current.
          
The Company has entered into a modification agreement with the Bank
deferring principal payments on the first and second mortgages until
February 1998.  This amendment has reduced the Company's cash flow
requirements for 1997.  If the Bank, and other creditors, do not call their
debt, as a result of the covenant defaults, then the principal payments due
for the remainder of 1997 on all debt obligations will be $98,822.
          
As of June 30, 1997, the Company has been unable to achieve the necessary
sales volume and gross margin to meet its 1997 budgeted goals.  As a result,
the Company has not produced sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations
as they become due.
          
The Company is exploring the possibilities of acquisitions, affiliations and
joint ventures in an effort to produce a higher sales volume sufficient to
meet its obligations as they become due.  In addition, the Company is trying
to secure additional borrowings from various lending institutions to provide
additional operating cash.  In the event none of these events take place, the
Company may have to cease operations altogether.
          
As of June 30, 1997, the Company's largest shareholder had advanced an
additional $400,000 through the issuance of convertible debentures.

4. The Company purchases technical, accounting and consulting services and
rented certain office space from a shareholder and its affiliates.  The costs
for these services amounted to $218,807 for the six months ended June 30,
1997.
          
Additionally, the Company provided $1,450,778 of remediation, sub-contract
support and project services to a shareholder and its affiliates for the six
months ended June 30, 1997.
          
Interest expense on an unsecured line of credit with a shareholder was
approximately $52,524 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  Interest
payments on the note with the shareholder have been deferred until
February 1998.


                                                               

                    PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item No. 2
                Management's Discussion and Analysis of
               Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

                     Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 1997, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $17,253 as
compared to $19,077 at December 31, 1996.

At June 30, 1997, the Company had a working capital deficit of $4,098,051
compared to a deficit of $3,100,902 at December 31, 1996.  The increase in
the working capital deficit is primarily attributable to increased borrowings
on a convertible debenture from a shareholder and an installment note
used to finance the Company's insurance policies.

For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company's net cash used in
operations was $322,894 compared to cash used in operations of $400,975
during the six months ended June 30, 1996.

The Company has available a collateralized borrowing facility that provides
for borrowing up to $1,000,000 on a revolving basis.  Additionally, at June
30, 1997, the Company has an unsecured line of credit with an affiliated
party with maximum borrowings of $1,400,000 due on March 31, 1998. 
Borrowings against the collateralized and unsecured lines of credit
aggregated $971,000 and $1,400,000 respectively at June 30, 1997.  
The Company's $1,000,000 collateralized line of credit with a bank was
renewed on May 31, 1997.  The Company does not expect to satisfy its
liquidity requirements during the next twelve months which are expected
to consist of working capital requirements, principal and interest payments
on debt and some small capital expenditures.  In order for the Company to
achieve these cash requirements, it will be necessary to secure additional
borrowings beyond the Company's current limits.

Substantially all of the Company's debt is with one financial institution, and
such agreements have cross default provisions.  As a result of non-
compliance with covenants on certain of the debt, all of the debt is deemed
to be in default and callable by the Bank and other creditors.  Though the
Bank, or any other creditors, has not at this date called the obligations,
there can be no assurances that they will not exercise this right in the
future. 

During the first six months of 1997, all principal payments on the Company's
debt have been made timely, however, there can be no assurances that the
Company can meet its principal payments on debt for the remainder of the
year.

1997 Business Plan

During 1996, management formulated a business plan which was intended
to achieve a higher sales volume and reduce overhead in 1997.

As discussed in the notes to the financial statements, during the first six
months of 1997 revenues and total gross margin dollars were below
managements expectations.  As a result of these factors, the Company faces
a significant cash strain and is not able to meet its current obligations as
they become due.

The Company, however, is still actively trying to increase its revenue base
through aggressive marketing efforts throughout its service areas and is
continually reducing overhead as evidenced by the 5% overhead reduction
over the same period last year.  In addition, the Company is exploring the
possibilities of acquisitions, affiliations and joint ventures in an effort to
produce a higher sales volume sufficient to meet its obligations as they
become due.  In the event none of theses events take place, the Company
may have to cease operations altogether.
                       
                       Results of Operations

Billings:

The Company's project billings and services for the second quarter of 1997
have increased 46% over the second quarter of 1996.  For the six month

State and surrounding areas.  For the six month period ended June 30, 1997,
