subsidiary, the Kover Group, Inc. ("Kover") to MPK holdings, LP ("MPK"), MPK is
owned by Phillip W. Kubec. Mr. Kubec was the president and chief executive

million, payable $1.2 million in cash at closing and the balance of $1.5 million
in promissory notes. The Company received two promissory notes, one for $960,000
from MPK (the "MPK Note") and one for $540,000 from Kover (the "Kover Note"). In
July 1998, MPK prepaid the MPK Note and Kover Note plus accrued interest. The
Company received $1,350,000 in cash and a new $150,000 promissory note from MPK
("the New Note"). The New Note is payable interest only monthly at the rate of
8.25% per annum, with the principal balance due at the end of eleven years.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the net loss from Kover was

discontinued operations.

6. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

In October 1998, the Company acquired Sanford Motors, Inc. and its related
companies ("SMI"). SMI operates a medical waste hauling operation in the
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland region and owns a 49% interest
in an incineration facility in Matthews, North Carolina. The purchase price for
SMI was payable $4,000,000 in cash and 500,000 shares of the Company's common
stock. The Company has guaranteed that the common stock will have a fair market
value of $14 at the end of three years following the closing.

In October 1998, the Company purchased BMW Medtec of West Virginia, Inc.
("BMW"), a medical waste transportation company operating in West Virginia,
Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania. The purchase price for BMW was payable
$175,000 in cash and 16,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

On November 5, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend
distribution of one preferred stock purchase right (the "Rights") for each
outstanding share of common stock, $.001 per value (the "Common Stock"), of the
Company to share-holders of record at the close of business on November 6, 1998
(the "Record Date") and authorized the issuance of one Right with respect to
each share of Common Stock that becomes outstanding between the Record Date and
November 6, 2008 or such earlier time as the Rights are redeemed. Each Right,
when exercisable, entitles the registered holder to purchase from the company
one one-hundreth of a share of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock,
$.001 par value (the "Preferred Stock"), at a price of $25 per one one-hundredth
of a share (the "Purchase Price"), subject to adjustment. Under certain
circumstances, when a person acquires 20%, or more, of the Company's common
stock, each right would entitle the holder to purchase, at $25, a number of
shares of common stock, having a market value at the time equal to twice the
Rights exercise price. The terms of the Rights are set forth in a Rights
Agreement (the "Rights Plan") between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer
and Trust Company, as Rights Agent, a copy of which is attached as an exhibit to
the Company's current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 6, 1998.
The description of the Rights set forth below does not purport to be complete
and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Rights Plan.
