               the nine and three months then ended is unaudited)

1.   Unaudited Information

     In the opinion of management of RTI Inc. (with its Subsidiaries, the
"Company"), the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include
all adjustments necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the
Company's financial position as of September 30, 1996, its results of operations
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, and its cash
flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995. Results of
operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1996.

     Information included in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31,
1995 has been derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial
statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A for the year ended December 31,
1995, to which reference is made. Certain information included in the audited
consolidated financial statements and related notes prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles may have been condensed or omitted.

2.   Rockaway Industrial Park

     The Company owns a 248 acre parcel of land ("Parcel I") in Rockaway, New
Jersey (47 acres of which have been leased to SteriGenics International), that
is contiguous to a 15 acre operating parcel that is the site of an irradiation
processing facility leased to SteriGenics International("Parcel II" and, with
Parcel I, the "Rockaway Industrial Park"). Since 1985, the Company has been
seeking a buyer for Parcel I. However, the Company's ability sell Parcel I is
impaired until the completion of an environmental cleanup and remediation
program (Note 3), and its ability to recover its net investment in Parcel I is
impaired by liabilities accruing from outstanding property taxes on
approximately 201 acres of Parcel I for the years 1993, 1994, 1995, and 1996,
which have been accrued in the financial statements.

3.   Environmental Investigation and Remediation

     As a result of engineering tests that commenced in 1981, the New Jersey
Department of Environmental Protection (the "DEP") issued a directive in 1986
ordering a remedial investigation and feasibility study (the "Study") designed
to determine the nature and extent of contamination on the Rockaway Industrial
Park property. The Company agreed to pay the costs of the Study and entered into
an Administrative Consent Order with the DEP. In 1989, the DEP issued a Second
Directive to pay for an additional environmental study and DEP oversight costs.
In 1993, the Company entered into an Administrative Consent Order ("ACO") with
the DEP. Cost reimbursement to the DEP under the ACO includes applicable DEP
expenditures beginning July 1, 1982 and future DEP oversight costs. In August
1996, the Company made a payment of $575,000 to the DEP as full settlement of
all outstanding claims asserted under the ACO, as well as all claims which could
be asserted for the period ended June 30, 1996 (Notes 4 and 6).

     In April 1996, the DEP responded to the Company's petition to change the
Remedial Action Work Plan under the Record of Decision, and advised the Company
that a pilot test of the CleanOx remediation program, undertaken by the Company
on its Rockaway property, was not considered conclusive. In September 1996, the
Company completed a second CleanOx test, which reduced the contamination, but
did not result in remediation of the groundwater. As a result, the Company has
increased its cost accruals for the possible implementation of a groundwater
remediation plan required by the DEP's Record of Decision.

     The Company has also been named a respondent in an environmental proceeding
relating to a New Jersey disposal site ("Nascolite") to which the Company
shipped a small amount of materials in 1978. The Company has signed a settlement
agreement with the EPA requiring the payment of $32,247 in settlement of the
EPA's Nascolite claims. The Company has recorded an accrual of $34,562 for this
liability and related DEP expenses.

     As a result of ongoing remediation and DEP involvement in these matters,
there can be no assurances that the cleanup, remediation, and DEP oversight
accruals will represent the Company's ultimate liability.

establish the relative rights, preferences, and limitations, of the Series A
Preferred Stock. On March 4, 1996, the Company issued 118,000 shares of Series A
Preferred Stock at $2.00 per share. These shares were redeemed on August 8,

8.   Discontinued Operations

     On August 8, 1996, the Company sold to SteriGenics International the assets
and liabilities related to its irradiation business, except for its Rockaway
facility, which was leased for six years to SteriGenics International. Reference
is made to the Company's Current Report of August 8, 1996 on Form 8-K/A. Losses
incurred in the Company's irradiation business until January 31, 1996 are shown
as Loss from irradiation operations and irradiation business losses incurred
thereafter are shown as Loss on disposal of irradiation operations.

9.   Other Income

     Extraordinary income in the nine month period of 1996 resulted from a
$580,000 settlement of prior environmental insurance claims. In the 1995
periods, extraordinary income consisted of a $144,830 litigation settlement.

10.  Other Assets

     Other assets of $81,002 consisted of discounted, defaulted consumer debt
and a related contract for collection of such debt.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

General

     Reference is made to Item 6 - "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan
of Operation" contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A for its
fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 (the "1995 Form 10-KSB") for a discussion of
the Company's financial condition as of December 31, 1995, including a
discussion of the Company's anticipated liquidity and working capital
requirements during 1996.

Comparison of Operations for the Three Month Periods Ended September 30, 1996
and 1995.

     After the exclusion of its irradiation revenues and expenses, the Company's
revenues consisted almost entirely of short term interest on its cash assets and
lease income from the Rockaway irradiation facility leased to SteriGenics
International.

     In the third quarter of 1996, the Company's expenses consisted mostly of
legal, accounting and public company costs, and of expenses and provisions
related to remediation of the groundwater contamination in the Rockaway
Industrial Park. Comparisons with last year are not meaningful because all
expenses were applied to the now discontinued operations.

     Expenses of Rockaway Industrial Park at $114,574 (including an accrual of
$79,647 for future remediation expenses) in the 1996 quarter were little changed
compared to the $115,391 recorded in the 1995 quarter.

     A loss of $16,873 on the sale of the irradiation business is the result of
operating losses incurred in those operations for the third quarter of 1996,
less an $18,000 premium over book value received on the sale of the assets and
liabilities related to such operations. In the 1995 period, the irradiation
operations recorded a loss of $91,325, which has been recast as a loss from
discontinued operations.

     As a result of the lack of operating income and the continuation of certain
expenses, the Company had a loss of $134,274 or $0.12 per share for the third
quarter of 1996, as compared with a loss of $59,533 or $0.06 per share for the
1995 period, when the Company recorded a litigation gain of $144,830.


                                      -12-
<PAGE>

Comparison of Operations for the Nine Month Periods Ended September 30, 1996 and
1995

     After elimination of sales and expenses for the discontinued irradiation
business, the Company's ongoing revenues consisted entirely of interest and
lease income. Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 (the
"1996 period") were $49,316. Comparisons with the nine months ended September
30, 1995 (the "1995 period") are meaningless, as its revenue producing assets
were then concentrated in the since discontinued irradiation business.

     General and administrative expenses of $100,766 in the 1996 period
consisted mainly of professional fees as well as public company maintenance
costs. In the 1995 period, general and administrative expenses were all
allocated to the now discontinued operations.

     Expenses of Rockaway Industrial Park increased to $642,183 in the 1996
period, compared to $172,268 in the 1995 period. The increase was due entirely
to a reserve for future remediation costs in the 1996 period of $559,647.

     Other income of $580,000 in the 1996 period represents a settlement of
prior environmental insurance claims; in the 1995 period, other income of
$144,830 consisted entirely of the proceeds of a litigation settlement.

     In the 1996 period, the Company recorded a loss of $72,000 from
discontinued operations before the final decision to sell these operations and
of $15,253 from the disposal of these operations, which equates to its losses
less an $18,000 premium over book value received on the sale of its assets and
liabilities.

     As a result, the Company reported a net loss of $200,886 or $.18 per share
in the 1996 period, as compared with a net loss of $336,326 or $.31 per share in
the 1995 period.

Financial Condition

     At September 30, 1996, the Company had working capital of $3,376,128 as a
result of the SteriGenics transaction. At December 31, 1995, the Company had a
working capital deficit of $1,116,028.

     The Company intends to use all or part of its working capital to acquire an
existing operation outside of the irradiation industry. As part of such
acquisition the Company may need


                                      -13-
<PAGE>

additional funding, although that is not anticipated at this time. There can be
no assurance that the Company will be successful in its acquisition efforts or,
if successful, that such acquisition will result in profitable operations.

     The Company's net cash used by operating activities in the 1996 period was
$1,293,259; in the 1995 period, the discontinued irradiation business provided
cash of $260,721.

     Investing activities in the 1996 period provided net cash of $4,520,724,
mainly from the sale of its irradiation business. This compared to net cash used
of $48,556 for the purchase of fixed assets in the 1995 period. Net cash used in
financing activities in the 1996 period was $531,813, which primarily resulted
from the repayment of debt, compared to $288,711 cash used in the 1995 period.
The resulting net increase in cash and cash equivalents in the 1996 period was
$2,695,652, as compared to a net decrease of $76,546 for the 1995 period.
