                 RUSSELL-STANLEY HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1  - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes
thereto as of March 31, 2001 and for the three-month periods ended March 31,
2001 and 2000 are unaudited.

         The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments which are, in
the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated
balance sheets as of March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the consolidated
statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income and the statements of
cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported on the
financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual amounts could differ
from those estimates.

         These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in Russell-Stanley Holdings,
Inc.'s (the "Company's") Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2000, File No. 333-76057.

         The Company announced on January 26, 2001 that it has retained The
Blackstone Group, L.P. in order to assist in developing a financial
restructuring plan and that an ad-hoc committee of its senior subordinated
noteholders has been organized. The Company has commenced discussions with this
committee towards developing a consensual financial restructuring plan to
de-leverage the Company's capital structure. The Company is seeking to
restructure its bond debt and does not intend to impair in any way its
trade creditors or implement layoffs as part of its financial restructuring
plan.

         The Company elected not to make the interest payment due February 15,
2001 on its Senior Subordinated Notes. The 30-day grace period to make the
interest payment to cure the default expired on March 15, 2001 and as a
consequence, the Senior Subordinated Notes, revolving credit loans and term loan
are callable and therefore have been classified as current liabilities in the
December 31, 2000 and March 31, 2001 consolidated balance sheets. The Company
and its lenders under the Credit Agreement have entered into a 60-day
Forbearance and Amendment Agreement (the Forbearance Agreement) dated February
15, 2001 pursuant to which the lender will not call the Company's outstanding
debt through the termination of the Forbearance Agreement and will continue to
allow the Company to draw on their revolving credit facility to satisfy working
capital needs subject to certain limitations. In addition, the interest rate on
the Company's term loan and the revolving credit loan margin was increased .50%
and the facility's commitment was temporarily reduced from $75.0 million to
$60.0 million. The Forbearance Agreement was extended an additional sixty days
until June 15, 2001 with an additional .25% interest rate increase in effect
for the period. The Forbearance Agreement terminates on the earlier of (a) the
occurrence of an additional event of default (as defined); (b) June 15, 2001 or
(c) the date on which the Senior Subordinated Notes are accelerated. A joint
meeting of the ad-hoc committee of noteholders and the bank group was held
recently to permit both groups to give their views on the restructuring.
Discussions with these groups will continue and there can be no assurance that
a financial restructuring will be completed. For the period ended March 31,
2001, approximately $1.0 million in professional fees were incurred in
connection with the financial restructuring and were expensed in the
accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.

NOTE 2  - ACCOUNTING POLICY MATTERS

         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 133, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS 137,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the
Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133, and SFAS 138, Accounting for Certain
Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, is effective for the
Company as of January 1, 2001. These standards require that an entity recognize
all derivatives as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value. The
accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the use of
the derivative. In addition, certain contracts that were not formerly considered
derivatives may now meet the definition of a derivative. Adoption of these new
accounting standards did not have a material impact on the Company's financial
condition or results of operations.

         Reclassifications - Certain amounts in 2000 have been reclassified to
conform to the 2001 presentation.

NOTE 4 - LONG-TERM DEBT

         As discussed in Note 1 of the condensed consolidated financial
statements, the Company elected to withhold the payment of interest due on
February 15, 2001 on its Senior Subordinated Notes and did not make the
payment within the 30-day grace period. As previously disclosed in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000,
due to the violations of the covenants under the Credit Agreement and the
interest payment default, the Senior Subordinated Notes, revolving credit
loans and term loan are callable and therefore have been classified as
current liabilities in the December 31, 2000 and March 31, 2001 consolidated
balance sheets.

The Notes, revolving credit loans, and term loan have the following provisions
(dollars in thousands):

In connection with the March 15, 2001 Forbearance Agreement, the margin on the
revolving credit and term loans was increased .50%.

The Forbearance Agreement was extended an additional sixty days until June 15,
2001 (see Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements).

NOTE 5 - CONTINGENCY

         The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") confirmed the
presence of contaminants, including dioxin, in and along the Woonasquatucket
River in Rhode Island. Prior to 1970, New England Container ("NEC") operated a
facility in North Providence, Rhode Island along the Woonasquatucket River at a
site where contaminants have been found. NEC, the current owners of the
property, and others have been formally identified by the EPA as potentially
responsible parties, with the site added to the National Priority Superfund Site
list in February 2000. Although NEC no longer operates the facility, and did not
operate the facility at the time the Company acquired the outstanding capital
stock of NEC in July 1998, NEC could incur liability under federal and state
environmental laws and/or as a result of civil litigation. Any resulting
liability is subject to, among other possible claims, (i) a contractual
indemnity from Vincent J. Buonanno, one of its directors and the former owner of
NEC, subject to a $2.0 million limit, and (ii) right of contribution from other
potentially responsible parties and potential insurance reimbursements. In
January 2001, the EPA announced it was proceeding with an interim soil removal
project and will be undertaking further testing and analysis to determine
what, if any, remedial action in addition to the interim soil removal will be
required. On March 26, 2001, the EPA issued a unilateral administrative order
pursuant to Section 106 (a) of the federal Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act requiring NEC and the other
potentially responsible parties to perform the interim soil removal project.
The Company is unable to estimate the likelihood or extent of any liability;
however, this matter may result in liability to NEC that could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, cash flows and results of
operations.

NOTE 6 - GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES

         The Company's payment obligations under the Notes are fully,
unconditionally, jointly and severally guaranteed by its current domestic
subsidiaries, principally: Russell-Stanley Corp. ("RSC"), Container Management
Services ("CMS") and NEC (collectively, the "Guarantor Subsidiaries"). Each of
the Guarantor Subsidiaries is a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company. The Company's payment obligations under the Notes are not
guaranteed by the remaining subsidiary, Hunter (the "Non-Guarantor Subsidiary").
The obligations of each Guarantor Subsidiary under their guarantee of the Notes
are subordinated to each subsidiary's obligations under their guarantee of the
Senior Credit Facility.

         Presented on the next page is condensed combining financial information
for the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor
Subsidiary. In the Company's opinion, separate financial statements and other
disclosures concerning each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries would not provide
additional information that is material to investors. Therefore, the Guarantor
Subsidiaries are combined in the presentation on the next page.

         Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for by the Parent Company
using the equity method. Earnings of subsidiaries are, therefore, reflected in
the Parent Company's investments in and advances to/from subsidiaries accounts
and earnings (losses). The elimination entries eliminate investments in
subsidiaries, related stockholders' equity and other intercompany balances and
transactions.

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

THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 COMPARED TO THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED
MARCH 31, 2000

NET SALES

         Net sales decreased 10.4 % to $64.8 million in 2001 from $72.4
million in 2000. Our container manufacturing division's net sales decreased
7.5% to $52.8 million in 2001, from $57.1 million in 2000, due primarily to
an economic downturn and consequently lower unit volumes. Net sales in our
services division decreased 21.2% to $12.0 million in 2001 from $15.3 million
in 2000 due primarily to planned lower trip lease volumes in plastic services
and lower steel reconditioning revenues, which were partially offset by
higher average selling prices. We continue to transition our plastic services
drum business from a leasing to reconditioning business model.

GROSS PROFIT

         Gross profit decreased $2.7 million to $11.8 million in 2001 from $14.5
million in 2000, primarily due to the lower unit volumes. Gross profit as a
percentage of net sales decreased to 18.2% in 2001 from 20.0% in 2000 as a
result.

OPERATING EXPENSES

         Operating expenses increased $0.4 million to $13.3 million in 2001
from $12.9 in 2000. The increase is due to financial restructuring expenses
of approximately $1.0 million, partially offset by cost savings, including
personnel reductions and lower delivery expenses due to lower volume. As a
percentage of net sales, operating expenses were 20.6% in 2001 compared to
17.8% in 2000.

(LOSS) INCOME FROM OPERATIONS

         (Loss) income from operations decreased by $3.1 million to a $1.5
million loss in 2001 from income of $1.6 million in 2000 as a result of the
factors described above.

INTEREST EXPENSE

         Interest expense was $6.1 million in 2001 compared with $5.6 million in
2000. The increase in interest expense is the result of increased debt levels
and a higher weighted average interest rate.

LOSS BEFORE INCOME TAXES

         In 2001, the loss before income taxes was $7.6 million versus $4.1
million in 2000, as a result of the factors described above.

INCOME TAX BENEFIT

         The effective tax rate on the loss was approximately 30.0% in both 2001
and 2000, lower than the statutory federal income tax benefit due to the
non-deductible portion of goodwill associated with our acquisitions and higher
foreign income taxes.

NET LOSS

         In 2001, the net loss was $5.3 million versus $2.9 million in 2000, as
a result of the factors described above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Our principal uses of cash are for capital expenditures, interest
expense, and working capital. We utilize funds generated from operations and
borrowings to meet these requirements. For the three months ended March 31,
2001, net cash provided by operating activities was $2.6 million compared to net
cash used in operating activities of $6.6 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2000. This change is due to improved trade working capital more than
offsetting a higher net loss during the first three months of 2001. For the
three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, we made capital expenditures of $4.9
million. We currently have no capital commitments outside the ordinary course of
business. Our principal working capital requirements are to finance accounts
receivable and inventories. As of March 31, 2001, our subsidiaries and we had
total indebtedness of approximately $218.8 million, $69.7 million of which was
senior indebtedness.

         The Company announced on January 26, 2001 that it has retained The
Blackstone Group, L.P. in order to assist in developing a financial
restructuring plan and that an ad-hoc committee of its senior subordinated
noteholders has been organized. The Company has commenced discussions with
this committee towards developing a consensual financial restructuring plan
to de-leverage the Company's capital structure. The Company is seeking to
restructure its bond debt and does not intend to impair in any way its
trade creditors or implement layoffs as part of its financial restructuring
plan.

         The Company elected not to make the interest payment due February
15, 2001 on its Senior Subordinated Notes. The 30-day grace period to make
the interest payment to cure the default expired on March 15, 2001 and as a
consequence, the Senior Subordinated Notes, revolving credit loans and term
loan are callable and therefore have been classified as current liabilities
in the December 31, 2000 and March 31, 2001 consolidated balance sheets. The
Company and its lenders under the Credit Agreement have entered into a 60-day
Forbearance and Amendment Agreement (the Forbearance Agreement) dated
February 15, 2001 pursuant to which the lender will not call the Company's
outstanding debt through the termination of the Forbearance Agreement and
will continue to allow the Company to draw on their revolving credit facility
to satisfy working capital needs subject to certain limitations. In addition,
the interest rate on the Company's term loan and the revolving credit loan
margin was increased .50% and the facility's commitment was temporarily
reduced from $75.0 million to $60.0 million. The Forbearance Agreement was
extended an additional sixty days until June 15, 2001 with an additional .25%
interest rate increase in effect for the period. The Forbearance Agreement
terminates on the earlier of (a) the occurrence of an additional event of
default (as defined); (b) June 15, 2001 or (c) the date on which the Senior
Subordinated Notes are accelerated. A joint meeting of the ad-hoc committee
of noteholders and the bank group was held recently to permit both groups to
give their views on the restructuring. Discussions with these groups will
continue and there can be no assurance that a financial restructuring will be
completed. For the period ended March 31, 2001, approximately $1.0 million in
professional fees were incurred in connection with the financial
restructuring.

         The consolidated financial statements of the Company indicate that as a
result of the above matters, at March 31, 2001, current liabilities exceeded
current assets by $196.8 million. Historically, cash flows generated from
operations, supplemented by the unused borrowing capacity under the Revolving
Credit Agreement, have been sufficient to pay the Company's debts as they come
due, provide for capital expenditures and meet its other cash requirements. The
consolidated financial statements of the Company presented herein do not reflect
any adjustments that could result from the Company's financial restructuring
plan.

EFFECT OF INFLATION

         Inflation generally affects our business by increasing the interest
expense of floating rate indebtedness and by increasing the cost of raw
materials, labor and equipment. We do not believe that inflation has had any
material effect on our business during the periods discussed herein.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

         Readers are cautioned that the Results of Operations, Liquidity and
Capital Resources and other sections of this report contain forward-looking
statements that are based on management's current expectations and
projections about future events. Although we believe that our assumptions
made in connection with the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we
cannot assure you that our assumptions and expectations will prove to have
been correct. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise. A description of some of the factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from expectations expressed in the
Company's forward-looking statements set forth in the Company's Form S-4
(File No. 333-76057) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under
the caption "Forward-Looking Statements" is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

MANAGING FOREIGN CURRENCY AND INTEREST RATE EXPOSURE

         The Company is exposed to market risk from foreign currency exchange
rate fluctuations as measured against the U.S. dollar and interest rates. We
manage this exposure through internal policies and procedures and the use of
derivative financial instruments when considered appropriate. As a matter of
policy, the Company does not speculate in financial markets and therefore does
not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

INTEREST RATE RISK

         The revolving indebtedness under our senior credit facility bears
interest at a floating rate. Our primary exposure to interest rate risk is as a
result of changes in interest expense related to this indebtedness due to
changes in market interest rates. A 10% increase in interest rates at March 31,
2001 would not have a material adverse affect on our results of operations,
financial condition or cash flows.

FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK

         We have operations in Canada and sales denominated in Canadian
dollars. Our primary exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk is as a
result of changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the
Canadian dollar. We currently do not maintain any derivative financial
instruments to limit our exposure to this risk. The Company has also entered
into foreign currency forwards to hedge the currency exposure of firm fixed
asset purchases denominated in Deutsche Marks.

ITEM 3.     DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

                  The Company elected not to make the interest payment of $8.3
million due February 15, 2001 on its Senior Subordinated Notes. The 30-day grace
period to make the interest payment to cure the default expired on March 15,
2001. The Company and its lenders under the Credit Agreement have entered into a
60-day Forbearance and Amendment Agreement (the Forbearance Agreement) dated
February 15, 2001 pursuant to which the lender will not call the Company's
outstanding debt through the termination of the Forbearance Agreement and will
continue to allow the Company to draw on their revolving credit facility to
satisfy working capital needs subject to certain limitations. The Forbearance
Agreement was extended until June 15, 2001 or may terminate earlier, as
described in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
