                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


1.   INTERIM PRESENTATION

     The interim consolidated  financial statements are prepared pursuant to the
     requirements  for  reporting  on Form 10- Q. These  statements  include the
     accounts  of IDM  Environmental  Corp.  and  all of its  wholly  owned  and
     majority owned  subsidiary  companies.  The December 31, 1996 balance sheet
     data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all
     disclosures  required by  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  The
     interim   financial   statements  and  notes  thereto  should  be  read  in
     conjunction  with  the  financial  statements  and  notes  included  in the
     Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996. In the opinion of
     management,  the interim financial  statements reflect all adjustments of a
     normal  recurring  nature necessary for a fair statement of the results for
     the interim periods presented. The current period results of operations are
     not necessarily indicative of results which ultimately will be reported for
     the full year ending December 31, 1997.

   
2.   CONTINGENCIES

     On August 15, 1996, the U.S.  Department of Labor,  Occupational Safety and
     Health  Administration  ("OSHA") issued a willful citation and notification
     of penalty in the amount of $147,000 on the Company in connection  with the
     accidental death of an employee of one of the Company's  subcontractors  on
     the  United  Illuminating  Steel  Point  Project  job  site in  Bridgeport,
     Connecticut.  A complaint was filed against the Company by the Secretary of
     Labor, United States Department of Labor on September 30, 1996. The Company
     is contesting the Citations and Notification of Penalty.
    

     In November of 1996, a shareholder filed a class action lawsuit against the
     Company and certain directors and officers of the Company.  The suit, filed
     in the Superior  Court of New Jersey,  Middlesex  County,  alleges that the
     Company  disseminated  false and  misleading  financial  information to the
     investing  public  between  March 27, 1996 and  November 18, 1996 and seeks
     damages in an unspecified amount to compensate  investors who purchased the
     Company's  common  stock  between  the  indicated  dates  as  well  as  the
     disgorgement  of profits  allegedly  received by the individual  defendants
     from sales of common stock during that period.  The Company  believes  this
     action is without merit and intends to vigorously contest this matter.

     On February  11,  1997 the  Company  was served  with a lawsuit  naming the
     Company as a  co-defendant  in a wrongful death cause of action arising out
     of the accidental death of an employee of a subcontractor.  The suit, filed
     in the Federal  District  Court for the  Northern  District of Indiana,  is
     based on the same facts as gave rise to the  aforementioned  administrative
     proceeding  instituted  by OSHA.  Management  believes that the suit, as it
     relates to the Company, is without merit, and intends to vigorously contest
     this claim.  In addition  the  Company  has  insurance  in place to protect
     against such events.


                                       4
<PAGE>
     On April 1, 1997  Continental  Waste  Conversion,  Inc.  ("CWC")  commenced
     litigation against the Company and two of its subsidiaries,  Global Waste &
     Energy, Inc.,  Delaware,  and Global Waste & Energy, Inc., Alberta, and the
     two principal  officers of Global Alberta.  CWC alleges that the agreements
     entered into whereby CWC granted to Global  Delaware  the  exclusive  world
     wide rights (excluding Canada) to the proprietary Kocee Gas Generator waste
     treatment  technology  in exchange  for a 10%  interest in Global  Delaware
     should be voided  because  amongst  other claims CWC did not obtain  proper
     approvals and the  transaction was not consummated on an arms length basis.
     Their claim alleges the loss of revenues estimated at $30 million. Prior to
     the closing,  the Company  obtained the legal opinion of CWC's counsel that
     states "CWC has full power,  without  limitation  in any way, to enter into
     the agreements, and all necessary corporate steps and proceedings have been
     taken  so that  the  agreements  are  properly  granted  and  executed  and
     delivered as binding  obligations of CWC". The Company  believes this claim
     is without merit and intends to vigorously contest this claim.
   
3.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

     The  Company  has amended the  previously  reported  earnings  per share to
     comply with the recent SEC staff  position  on  accounting  for  securities
     issued with beneficial  conversion features.  This accounting requires that
     the  Company  reflect  the  difference  between  the  market  price  of the
     company's   common  stock  and  the  applicable   conversion  rate  on  the
     convertible preferred stock as a dividend at the issue date (the beneficial
     conversion feature totaling $1,109,589) and is amortizing the dividend over
     a 180 day period from February 12, 1997, the issue date of the  convertible
     preferred stock.
    
   
4.   REVENUE RECOGNITION AND USE OF ESTIMATES

     The  consolidated  financial  statements have been prepared on the basis of
     the  percentage  of  completion  method of  accounting.  Under this  method
     contract revenue is determined by applying to the total estimated income on
     each contract,  a percentage  which is equal to the ratio of contract costs
     incurred to date to the most recent estimate of total costs which will have
     been  incurred upon the  completion  of the  contract.  Costs and estimated
     earnings  in  excess  of  billings  represents   additional  earnings  over
     billings,  based upon percentage completed,  as outlined above.  Similarly,
     billings  in excess of costs and  estimated  earnings  represent  excess of
     amounts billed over income  recognized.  Actual results can differ from the
     estimates. Losses anticipated on contracts,  excluding period costs, should
     be charged to operations as soon as they are evident.  In the first quarter
     of 1997, the Company recognized  revenues  equivalent to its costs incurred
     on its  Davy  contract  based  on  approximately  one  million  dollars  in
     unapproved change orders. The Company reversed these revenues in the second
     quarter when it became aware that the change orders had not been  approved.
     The Company is  aggressively  pursuing its claims.  Future revenues will be
     recognized when this claim is finally  settled.  Also, in the first quarter
     the Company  recorded  revenue of $3.5 million dollars for the sale of four
     generators on a sale agreement dated March 28, 1997. Based on the Company's
     discussions  with the SEC  accounting  staff,  the  Company  has  agreed to
     restate  its  quarterly   financial   statements   for  the  year  "because
     recognizing  change orders as revenues was tantamount to  recognizing  gain
     contingencies  which is expressly  prohibited by SFAS 5"; and, "because the
     revenue on the sale of the four generators  should not be recognized  until
     the  period  they are  shipped."  The  disclosure  requirements  of the APB
     opinion  number 20 of earnings  (loss) per share,  net income  (loss),  and
     income tax (credit) are as follows:

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results
        Of Operations.

This report contains  forward-looking  statements  within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of Securities  Exchange Act of
1934.  Actual  results  could  differ  materially  from those  projected  in the
forward-looking  statements  as a result of the risk  factors  set forth in this
report.

Material Changes in Results Of Operations

   
The Company's total revenues  decreased by  approximately  32.4% from $5,467,000
for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 to  $3,693,000  for the quarter ended March
31,  1997.  Contract  service  income  decreased  during the quarter by 33% from
$5,467,000  in 1996 to  $3,661,000  in 1997.  The  decrease in contract  service
income is  attributable  to  expected  revenues  being  delayed  into the second
quarter at our Oak Ridge and Boston  offices.  We signed two  contracts  late in
1996 and were  expecting to commence work on both contracts in January 1997. The
work was delayed due to harsh winter conditions in both Boston and Buffalo,  New
York (the site of the two jobs) and also due to the fact that the city of Boston
delayed the  assignment of city  employed  electricians  to this project  (total
contract amount of $5.7 million). The Buffalo contract (total contract amount of
$5.8 million) was also delayed due to the tremendous  amount of submittals  that
had to be commented on and revised before we started actual  hands-on field work
in mid  February.  We expected to  recognize a total of $2.3 million in contract
revenues in the first quarter on both contracts.  We actualy recognized only $.7
million.
    

   
Direct  job costs  decreased  by  approximately  36.1% from  $6,248,000  for the
quarter  ended March 31,  1996 to  $3,990,000  for the same period in 1997.  The
primary  elements of such  decrease in job costs were job  salaries and material
and  supplies.  The  decrease in job costs was  attributable  to the decrease in
contract service revenues during the quarter.
    
While  total  revenues   decreased  by  32.4%  for  the  quarter,   general  and
administrative  expenses  increased  31.2 % from  $1,653,000  during the quarter
ended March 31, 1996 to $2,168,000  during the same period in 1997. The increase
in general and  administrative  expense was attributable to $144,000 in expenses
recorded by the Company's 90% owned  subsidiary,  Global Waste & Energy Inc. and
increases in professional fees and insurance expense (due to additional  premium
as a result of an audit on the prior year  premium)  of  $242,000  and  $98,000,
respectively.

In addition to its  operating  income and  expenses,  the Company  reported  net
interest  income of $57,000 for the quarter  ended March 31, 1997 as compared to
net interest  income of $3,000 for the same period in 1996.  The increase in net
interest  income/expense  was  attributable to $40,000 in interest expense which
accrued on indebtedness  which remained  outstanding during the first quarter of
1996 out of the $5,000,000 of  convertible  notes issued in the third quarter of
1995 versus no  corresponding  expense in the first  quarter of 1997, as all the
notes had been converted as of December 31, 1996.

   
As a result of the  foregoing,  the  Company  reported  a loss  before  taxes of
$2,584,000  and a net loss of $2,134,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 as
compared to a loss before taxes of $2,642,000  and a net loss of $2,202,000  for
the same quarter in 1996.

The net loss  attributable  to common stock was increased by the preferred stock
dividends  ($29,000) and an accounting "deemed dividend" ($290,000) arising from
the amortization of the beneficial  conversion feature of the Company's Series B
Preferred Stock. The Company is calculating earning per share to comply with the
recent SEC staff position on accounting for  securities  issued with  beneficial
conversion  features.  This  accounting  requires  that the Company  reflect the
difference  between  the  market  price of the  company's  common  stock and the
applicable  conversion rate on the convertible  preferred stock as a dividend at
the issue date (the beneficial  conversion  feature totaling  $1,109,589) and is
amortizing  the dividend over a 180 day period from February 12, 1997, the issue
date of the convertible preferred stock.

Material Changes in Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources.

At March 31, 1997, the Company had a backlog totaling  approximately $47 million
compared  to a backlog  of  approximately  $50  million at March 31,  1996.  The
largest component of the Company's backlog at March 31, 1997 was $15 million for
the East Dam project.

In addition to its existing  backlog,  the Company is presently  bidding on, and
intends to bid on numerous projects to replace revenues from projects which will
be completed  during 1997 and to increase  the total  dollar  volume of projects
under contract.  Management anticipates that the Company's efforts to bid on and
secure new contracts will focus on projects  which can be readily  serviced from
the three  regional  offices  opened by the  Company  during  1994 and 1995.  In
addition,  the Company has submitted  proposals on several  large  international
plant relocation projects. The Company's regional offices,  particularly the Oak
Ridge, Tennessee, Los Alamos, New Mexico, and Boston,  Massachusetts offices are
strategically located in areas having a high concentration of prospective public
and private  remediation  sites. While bidding to perform services at such sites
is expected to be highly  competitive,  management  believes  that the Company's
existing  presence  on  projects  at these  locations  combined  with its proven
expertise  and  resources  will enhance the  Company's  chances of  successfully
bidding on substantial new projects.

   
The  Company  had  working  capital  of  $9,129,000,  including  cash  and  cash
equivalents  balances of $2,402,000 at March 31, 1997.  This compares to working
capital of $8,731,000 and a cash balance of $1,001,000 at December 31, 1996. The
increase in working  capital and cash is primarily  attributable  to the sale in
February of 1997 of $3 million of Series B Convertible  Preferred Stock less the
approximately $2.6 million dollars pre-tax loss for the period.
    

Quarter-end  receivables  as a percentage of first  quarter  income was 53.6% in
1997  compared to 146.6% in the same period of 1996.  The  percentage  excluding
equipment  sales (which is a note  receivable)  would be a more  comparable 92%.
Year-end  receivables  as  a  percentage  of  fourth  quarter  income  increased
substantially  from 53.0% in 1994 to 103.5% in 1995 and 157% in 1996. This ratio
was 82% at December  31,  1993.  The ratio  dropped to 53% at December  31, 1994
because the Company  received a $4,184,000  payment a major contract on December
23, 1994. If this payment had been received after year end, the ratio would have
been a more comparable 98.4%.

   
Unbilled revenue as a percentage of quarterly contract income has increased from
0% at December  31, 1993,  to 31% at December  31, 1994,  to 56% at December 31,
1995, and to 27% at December 31, 1996 and 76% at March 31, 1997. Also,  accounts
payable have constantly  decreased  since 1994 where as accounts  receivable and
unbilled revenues have increased substantially during this period.

Prior to going  public  in  April  1994,  most of the  Company's  revenues  were
generated in the private sector. Many of these contracts had substantial initial
mobilization  payments and  generated  positive cash flow during the life of the
contract. Since then the company has been successful,  as a result of its growth
strategy,  in obtaining a number of government  contracts at major Department of
Energy and  Department  of Defense  sites.  This work was  obtained  as a direct
result  of  opening  three new  regional  offices.  The  experience  with  these
contracts has been negative cash flows until we near contract  completion.  This
is due to the requirement  that we submit a schedule and a schedule of values at
the beginning of the job and bill according to the percent complete of each item
in the schedule of values - not the costs we have incurred. Our jobs of any size
are at a risk of being front end cost  loaded  when there is little  progress to
report (i.e., we cannot bill until the structure is demolished).  The Company is
aware of this  problem  and is trying to  remedy it by  maximizing  mobilization
costs in the schedule of values,  requiring  subcontractors  to bill on the same
basis and aggressively  negotiating better (less front end cost loaded) schedule
of values.

Initially the Company tried to increase  payment terms to vendors by paying them
after the Company  received  our  payment.  This method was  unsuccessful.  Many
vendors put the Company on a COD basis and its D&B rating weakened because D&B's
file showed  "increased  slowness in the company's  payment  record." This lower
rating  hurt the  Company in attempts  to  establish  credit  with new  vendors.
Because IDM is a growing company and trying to establish good relationships with
its vendors,  the company is now paying its vendors within terms to fifteen days
late and attempting to improve its D&B "paydex  rating." The paydex rating of 60
is much worse than the  average of the lower  quartile  for the  industry  of 68
(median for the industry is 75).

   
Inventory of $1,183,000 at March 31, 1997 remained  unchanged from the amount at
year-end.  This inventory  consists of nineteen (19) generator sets with a total
electrical  capacity of 242,500  kilowatts per hour (KWH).  The estimated market
price of the Company's  generator  inventory is twelve million  dollars.  Twelve
(12) of the generators are steam driven and range in size from 12,500  kilowatts
to 33,000  kilowatts  (KW).  Seven (7) of the  generators  are diesel driven and
range in size from 1,000 to 9,000  kilowatts  (KW).  These generator sets should
not be  considered  as  obsolete  or  outdated  inventory  since its  design and
technology  has not changed  much over the years.  They are very long lead items
(15-18 months),  experience and project  specific and as such they are not to be
compared with disposable items.
    

It is the  Company's  intent to  incorporate  two (2) 15,000 KW  generator  sets
(steam driven) in the Company's pending El Salvador waste to energy project.  In
future  projects,  the  Company  will try to use the  balance  of the  15,000 KW
generator sets and the 12,500 KW and 33,000 KW sets.

The  Company  has  available  at December  31,  1996  approximately  $11,575,000
operating loss carry-forwards that may be applied against future taxable income.
$2,350,000  of  losses  expire in the year 2010 and the  balance  the  following
years.  Based on the  reported  loss to date it will take $9 million  dollars in
future taxable income to recover the reported deferred tax asset.

At March 31, 1997, the Company had no long term debt. Long term debt at December
31,  1996  totaled  $164,034,  consisting  of  installment  debt  secured by job
equipment.

During the quarter ended March 31, 1997,  the Company made  additional  loans of
$325,000  repayable  upon  demand with  interest at 9.25% to its ninety  percent
owned subsidiary,  Global Waste & Energy, Inc. ("Global Delaware"). In addition,
IDM,  through a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of Global  Delaware  loaned  $160,000
(Canadian)  to  Continental  Waste  Conversion,  Inc.  ("CWC")  repayable  in 18
consecutive  installments  commencing  January 1, 1997 with interest at 7.5% per
annum.  As of the date of this  report CWC has made no  payment  and the loan is
delinquent.  On April 1, 1997, CWC commenced  litigation against the Company and
two of its  subsidiaries,  Global  Delaware  and  Global  Alberta,  and  the two
principal  officers of Global Alberta.  CWC alleges that the agreements  entered
into  whereby CWC granted to Global  Delaware  the  exclusive  world wide rights
(excluding  Canada)  to the  proprietary  Kocee Gas  Generator  waste  treatment
technology  in exchange for a 10% interest in Global  Delaware  should be voided
because  amongst  other  claims  CWC did not  obtain  proper  approvals  and the
transaction was not consummated on an arms length basis. Their claim alleges the
loss of revenues  estimated  at $30 million.  Prior to the closing,  the Company
obtained  the legal  opinion of CWC's  counsel  that states "CWC has full power,
without  limitation in any way, to enter into the agreements,  and all necessary
corporate  steps and  proceedings  have been  taken so that the  agreements  are
properly granted and executed and delivered as binding  obligations of CWC". The
Company  believes this claim is without merit and intends to vigorously  contest
this claim.

Other than  funding the  Company's  bonding and other job costs the Company does
not anticipate any substantial  demands on the liquidity or capital resources of
the Company during the following twelve months.

   
Since 1994 the Company has consistently generated negative operating cash flows.
The primary  reason for this the Company's  policy of  successfully  bidding new
work at lower  than  normal  margins  in order to  penetrate  strategic  markets
serviced by the Company's newly opened regional offices. Now that the Company is
established  in these  markets,  the  Company  has been  bidding  work at normal
margins.  Management of the Company  believes,  based on the current  backlog of
work and  expected  work to be awarded  based on bids  outstanding,  that future
operating cash flows by the end of the year should be positive.
    

Management believes that the Company's working capital is sufficient to meet the
Company's anticipated needs for at least the following twelve months,  including
the  performance  of all  existing  contracts of the  Company.  However,  as the
Company is presently  pursuing bids on multiple large projects,  the Company may
be  required  to seek new bank  lines of credit or other  financing  in order to
facilitate  the  performance  of jobs if the volume and size of  projects  being
performed  by  the  Company  increases  substantially.   While  the  Company  is
conducting  ongoing  discussions with various  potential  lenders with a view to
establishing available bank lines of credit if and when needed to support future
growth,  the Company  presently has no commitments from any bank or other lender
to provide financing if such financing becomes necessary to support growth.
