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 principals 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.   Historically,  planned
remediation work generally increases during the third and  fourth
quarters.   Although  the Company believes  that  the  historical
trend in quarterly revenues for the third and fourth quarters  of
each  year  are  generally  higher  than  the  first  and  second
quarters,  there  can be no assurance that  this  will  occur  in
future  periods.  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.    The  Company entered into letter  agreements with  its  two
largest  creditors, OnBank & Trust Co. ("OnBank") and  O'Brien  &
Gere Limited ("OBG Limited"), a shareholder, on October 14, 1997,
which  were executed as of December 31, 1997, whereas OnBank  and
OBG  Limited agreed to convert all or part of their indebtedness,
including accrued interest, into Common Stock of the Company, and
to  forgive  the remaining balance.  OBG Limited,  to  which  the
Company  was indebted for $1,540,000, including accrued  interest
of  $140,000,  forgave $1,000,000 of the debt and  converted  the
balance  into  1,080,000  shares of the Company's  Common  Stock.
OnBank,  to  which  the  Company  was  indebted  for  $2,811,070,
including accrued interest of $75,332, converted their  debt  and
accrued  interest  for 5,622,000 shares of the  Company's  Common
Stock. The price per share, of $.50, was negotiated with the  two
creditors and the Company based on the price of recent sales  and
their estimates of future risk.


      As  a result of these transactions the Company has positive
shareholders' equity, and has obtained a revolving loan agreement
that  provides  for  borrowings up  to  $1,000,000  from  another
financial institution.






      The  revolving  loan is subject to renewal  at  the  bank's
option  and  is  payable  on demand, or if  no  demand  is  made,
outstanding  advances  are  due on  February  16,  1999  and  are
guaranteed by a shareholder for an amount not to exceed $500,000.

      The restructuring has had a significant impact not only  on
the  company's financial position, but also on its operations and
cash  flows.  Interest cost will be reduced from the  $300,000  -
$400,000  per year level to less than $150,000 per year based  on
the new capitalization of the Company.

           The  Company  is  focusing on growing  its  operations
throughout  the Northeastern United States and Pennsylvania,  two
areas  not pursued by the Company in the past.  Secondly,  a  new
sales force has been put in place to aggressively market its core
business areas as well as expansion areas.  Third, the Company is
continuing  its  focus on its core service lines with  industrial
and  governmental  customers which is  expected  to  lead  to  an
increase in recurring work.

      In  order  to achieve its 1998 budgeted revenue and  profit
goals,  the Company believes it can develop core service revenues
throughout the Northeastern United States and Pennsylvania.   The
Company  has relocated two of its senior employees to the Eastern
New  York  and Massachusetts regions to build a client base  that
will provide recurring core
service  revenue.  With respect to its sales force,  the  Company
has  hired  several  sales  representatives  throughout  the  New
England  and Pennsylvania areas to pursue both private industrial
and governmental opportunities.

      Based  on  its 1998 budget and first quarter results,   the
Company  will have adequate cash flow to meet its obligations  as
they  come  due,   however, there can be no  assurance  that  the
Company will be able to continue to meet its budgets and maintain
adequate cash flows.

4.    The  Company purchased technical, accounting and consulting
services  and rented certain office space from a shareholder  and
its affiliates.  The costs for these services amounted to $73,324
and  $92,903  for  the quarters ended March  31,  1998  and  1997
respectively.

      Additionally, the Company provided $90,556 and $686,366  of
remediation,  sub-contract  support and  project  services  to  a
shareholder and its affiliates for the quarters  ended March  31,
1998 and 1997 respectively.



                 PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item No. 2

               Management's Discussion and Analysis of
            Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

                   Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At March 31, 1998, the Company had cash and cash equivalents
of $66,140 as compared to $81,517 at December 31, 1997.

     At March 31, 1998, the Company had a working capital deficit
of  $164,036  compared to a deficit of $217,156 at  December  31,
1997, with a current ratio of .93 to 1 March 31, 1998 compared to
 .92 to 1 at December 31, 1997.

     For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company's net cash
provided  by  operations was $143,901 compared to  cash  used  in
operations of $61,542 during the quarter ended March 31, 1997.

      The Company's cash used in investing activities of $103,068
during  the  first quarter was attributable to  the  purchase  of
several utility vehicles and a high pressure water truck.

       The  Company  has  a  loan  agreement  that  provides  for
borrowings  up to $1,000,000 on a revolving basis, collateralized
by  all accounts receivable, inventory and equipment now owned or
acquired later.  The revolving loan is subject to renewal at  the
bank's  option and is payable on demand, or if no demand is  made
outstanding  advances  are  due on February  16,  1999,  and  are
guaranteed by a shareholder for an amount not-to-exceed $500,000.
A  wholly-owned subsidiary of the same shareholder currently  has
an option to purchase the Massena Port Facility for $2,000,000.

      During  the  first quarter all principal  payments  on  the
Company's debt have been made timely.

                       1998 Business Plan

     The Company is focusing on growing its operations throughout
the  Northeastern United States and Pennsylvania, two  areas  not
pursued by the Company in the past.  Secondly, a new sales  force
has  been  put in place to aggressively market its core  business
areas  as  well  as  expansion  areas.   Third,  the  Company  is
continuing  its  focus on its core service lines with  industrial
and  governmental  customers which is  expected  to  lead  to  an
increase in recurring work.

      In  order  to achieve its 1998 budgeted revenue and  profit
goals,  the Company believes it can develop core service revenues
throughout the Northeastern United States and Pennsylvania.   The
Company  has relocated two of its senior employees to the Eastern
New  York  and Massachusetts regions to build a client base  that
will provide recurring core service revenue.  With respect to its
sales  force,  the  Company has hired several commissioned  sales
representatives throughout the New England and Pennsylvania areas
to pursue both private industrial and governmental opportunities.




      Based  on  its 1998 budget and first quarter  results,  the
Company  will have adequate cash flow to meet its obligations  as
they  come  due,  however, there can be  no  assurance  that  the
Company will be able to continue to meet its budgets and maintain
adequate cash flows.

YEAR 2000

      The  Company  recognizes the need to ensure its  operations
will  not  be adversely impacted by year 2000 software  failures.
The  company  is  addressing the risk  to  the  availability  and
integrity of financial systems and the reliability of operational
systems.  In 1998, the company has upgraded its financial systems
to  comply with year 2000 requirements and has also undertaken an
upgrade  of  its  headquarters information and  decision  support
systems.  The total cost of these system upgrades is estimated to
be $50,000 over the next 12 to 18 months.

THE MASSENA PORT FACILITY

     The Massena Port Facility is a former oil tank farm which is
located  on the St. Lawrence River in Massena, NY.  The  property
is  improved  with  several buildings and a  deep  water  docking
facility  for large ocean going ships.  The property is  still  a
viable  location for a petroleum distribution facility and  could
still  function  as  one pending upgrades  of  tanks  and  diking
systems   to   current   state  and  federal   guidelines.    Any
improvements such as these would be treated as a capital  expense
in the year they were inccurred.  Currently, the Company uses the
property  for  its Massena branch office headquarters,  equipment
storage and its Aqueous Treatment/360 Facility.

      In  1996, the Company reclassified the Massena Property  to
Assets  Held for Sale.  The property at that time had a  carrying
value of approximately $1.9 million.  Due to the significance  of
the  carrying value of the property, in March of 1997, management
obtained  an  independent third party appraisal  to  support  its
carrying value.  Such appraisal included an evaluation of similar
sales plus a pending transaction at the time.  The appraisal also
included  an  evaluation of the time frame during  which  a  sale
would  be  expected.   Based upon the  appraisal  report  and  an
estimate  of the costs to sell, management concluded  that  there
was   no  impairment  of  the  property's  value  at  that  time.
Management is currently reviewing several options relative to the
sale and or lease of the property, however, due to the uniqueness
of  the asset and the absence of current quoted market prices  on
similar  properties,  management  anticipates  it  will  take   a
prolonged  period of time to consummate such a sale or  lease  of
the property.  Therefore, during 1997, the Company recognized  an
impairment of $308,377, reducing the property's carrying value to
$1,675,000 as of December 31, 1997.





N.Y.S.D.E.C. CONSENT ORDER

      In March of 1997, the Company signed a consent order issued
by  the  New  York State Department of Environmental Conservation
which   requires  the  Company  to  remediate  its  Massena,   NY
property.

      In  the  second quarter of 1997, the Company began  digging
test  pits  on  the  property to determine the extent  of  ground
contamination.  A total of ten test pits were dug.  Eight of  the
pits  were found to have no contamination and were closed out  by
New York State.  The remaining two pits had low level indications
of  contamination.  These areas were excavated late in the  third
quarter  of  1997.   The Company removed approximately  40  cubic
yards of contaminated material from the two pits and is currently
awaiting  final  closure  of the site by  New  York  State.   The
Company  also  tested its groundwater supply in  the  area.   The
Company has spent approximately $60,000 to clean this site  which
was expensed in 1997.  As of the date of this report, the Company
is  awaiting financial closure of the consent order  by  the  New
York  State  Department  of Environmental  Conservation  and  the
Company  believes the extent of the contamination is minimal  and
will not impair its ability to sell the property.


                      Results of Operations


Billings:

     The Company's project billings for the first quarter of 1998
have increased 20% to $1,974,535 from $1,642,605 during the first
quarter  of 1997.  The Company's increase in revenues during  the
first  quarter  of  1998  is primarily attributable  to  a  large
emergency  spill response contract for a utility  customer  as  a
result  of a major ice storm.  Emergency Spill Response  billings
during  the  first  quarter  of 1998  amounted  to  approximately
$863,981  versus  $253,000  for the same  quarter  in  1997.   In
addition,   increased  marketing  efforts  have  contributed   to
increased volume as the Company has added many new clients to its
customer base.

Project Costs and Gross Profit:

Three Months Ended March 31, 1998

      Project  costs  for the three months ended March  31,  1998
increased  19% to $1,385,895 from $1,160,120 for the same  period
in 1997 primarily due to increased revenues.  Project costs as  a
percentage  of revenues was 71% for the three months ended  March
31, 1998 and 1997 respectively.

     The gross profit margin for the three months ended March 31,
1998  and  1997  was  29%.  The  Company's  gross  profit  margin
fluctuates  with  the  mix of work during  a  given  quarter  and
although the gross margin percent was within expected guidelines,
higher  than  expected revenues contributed to more gross  margin
dollars   overall.  Typically,  projects  which  are  labor   and
equipment  intensive generate a higher gross profit  margin  than
projects that consist primarily of costs that are passed  through
to  clients with minimal amount of markup such as disposal costs,
equipment rentals and subcontract costs.



Selling, General,  Administrative and Interest Expenses:

      Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 decreased 21% to $482,078  from
$604,653  for the same period in 1997. Interest expense  for  the
three  months ended March 31, 1998 decreased 77% to $21,013  from
$92,175  for  the  same period in 1997.  The  decrease  in  these
expenses is primarily attributable to the Company's restructuring
plan  which significantly reduced depreciation, amortization  and
interest expense.


Net Income (Loss):

     The net income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was
$93,882  or $.01 per share compared to a net loss of $213,507  or
$.04  per share for the same period in 1997.  As discussed above,
the  higher  than  expected revenues compared  to  the  Company's
budget contributed to a larger net income than budgeted  for  the
first quarter of 1998.
