MANAGEMENT
Upon consummation of the Combination, Alliance became the largest

operations of the Company. The following is a description of certain changes
that occurred with respect to the Company upon consummation of the Combination.
CHANGE IN SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF THE COMPANY. As a result of the
Combination, Alliance may be deemed to beneficially own 26,076,000 shares, or
78.6% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, calculated in accordance with
Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange

Holdings, for a period of two years from the date thereof, has agreed to vote

with, Alliance. Accordingly, Alliance has effective control of the Board of
Directors of the Company.
CHANGE IN THE COMPOSITION OF THE MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY. Upon

Company, Mr. Feighan was appointed Chief Executive Officer and President of the
Company and Mr. Stout was appointed Executive Vice President and Chief

effect on the Closing Date (as defined in that certain Agreement and Plan of

with the balance being applied to principal. All prepayments made at any time
on the unpaid principal balance on this Promissory Note shall be listed on
Schedule A which is attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes.
The Holder of this Promissory Note (the "Holder") is hereby authorized to
record on Schedule A the dates and amounts of any prepayments of principal and
the aggregate amount of principal then outstanding. Such recordation shall
constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information recorded in
the absence of manifest error; provided, however, that failure by the Holder to
make such recordation shall not effect the Maker's obligations hereunder.
Should the Maker fail to make any payment of principal or interest
hereunder on or before ten days after the date such payment is due and such
failure be continuing, the Holder at its option, and in addition to any other
remedies that may be available, may declare the entire principal balance and
accrued interest hereon to be due and payable by giving written notice
2
thereof to Maker. Failure to exercise this option shall not constitute a
waiver of the right to exercise the same with respect to any subsequent Event
of Default.
If this Promissory Note shall be collected by legal proceedings or
through a probate or bankruptcy court, or shall be placed in the hands of an
attorney for collection after default or maturity, the Maker agrees to pay all
costs of collection, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees.

REPUBLIC ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
A. DESCRIPTION OF THE MERGERS
On May 19, 1996, Alliance and RESI signed a binding letter of intent and
agreed to the terms of mergers (the "Mergers") pursuant to which Alliance would
receive (i) 14,760,000 shares of RESI's common stock, par value $0.01 per share
("RESI Common Stock"), (ii) warrants to acquire an additional 4,200,000 shares
of RESI Common Stock, at prices ranging from $2.625 to $3.875 per share and
exercisable over two to four year periods and (iii) a promissory note in the
principal amount of $4.0 million in consideration for all of the outstanding
common stock of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Century Surety Company ("CSC")
and Commercial Surety Agency, Inc. ("CSU"). In connection with such transaction,
each of MGD Holdings, Ltd. ("MGD Holdings") and H. Wayne Huizenga ("Huizenga")
will purchase 2,000,000 shares of RESI Common Stock and warrants to purchase
6,000,000 additional shares of RESI Common Stock at exercise prices ranging from
$2.625 to $3.875 per share and exercisable over two to four year periods for an
aggregate purchase price of $5,250,000. After the Mergers, but before the
exercise of the Merger Warrants and Stock Issue Warrants, Alliance and MGD
Holdings will beneficially own approximately % and %, respectively of
the outstanding shares of RESI common stock. As a result of the Mergers,
Alliance will control four of the seven board positions, thereby having the
ability to control the RESI Board of Directors. In addition, contemporaneously
with the consummation of the Mergers, MGD Holdings will enter into a voting
agreement with Alliance whereby MGD Holdings, for a period of two years
commencing as of the completion of the Mergers thereof agrees to vote all shares
of RESI Common Stock in accordance with the recommendation of the management of
Alliance. Accordingly, Alliance will have the ability to control the outcome of
matters submitted to a vote of the RESI Stockholders, including the election of
directors. The Mergers will be accounted for as a purchase business combination
pursuant to which Alliance is acquiring RESI. Consequently, in RESI's
consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of RESI will be
recorded at fair value based upon the closing market price of the outstanding
shares of RESI common stock on May 17, 1996 (10,797,950 shares at 2 5/16 per
share). The historical balances shown in the pro forma statements for RESI, CSC
and CSU are derived from the financial statements of each company included
elsewhere herein.
B. ACQUISITION PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS AND INTERCOMPANY ELIMINATIONS
(1) Reflects the adjustments related to the Mergers including (a) a
purchase price of approximately $29.6 million (including transaction costs of
approximately $0.7 million) based on the number of RESI common shares
outstanding at the market price of May 17, 1996 and an additional $4.0 million
note payable to Alliance, (b) elimination of the historical equity balances of
CSC and CSU to reflect the new capital structure of RESI as a result of the
transaction and (c) recognition of $1.285 million of goodwill resulting from the
excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets of RESI at
June 30, 1996.
(2) Records the amortization over 40 years of the resulting goodwill for
the year ended December 31, 1995 and the six months ended June 30, 1996.
(3) Reflects the elimination of intercompany balances between CSC and CSU.
(4) Reflects the interest expense associated with the $4.0 million note
payable to Alliance at the current LIBOR rate of 5.5% and the related adjustment
to income taxes (using an estimated combined federal and state tax rate of 40%)
for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the six months ended June 30, 1996.
(5) Reflects the elimination of the 1996 CSC sale of RESI stock it owned
prior to the Mergers.
C. EQUITY TRANSACTIONS PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
Reflects the purchase of 2.0 million RESI common shares each and warrants
to purchase an additional 6.0 million RESI common shares each by MGD Holdings
and Huizenga as noted in A. above.
D. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Pro forma earnings per share reflect the issuance of 14,760,000 common
shares to Alliance and the 4,000,000 new shares issued to MGD Holdings and
Huizenga and also reflect the effect of a two-for-one stock split, effected in
the form of a stock dividend in June 1996. Primary and fully diluted pro forma
earnings per share are the same.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To Republic Environmental Systems, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated and combined balance sheets
of Republic Environmental Systems, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and
subsidiaries, as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated and
combined statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders equity for the
years then ended, as discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Republic Environmental
Systems, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

REPUBLIC ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BACKGROUND
In July 1994, Republic Industries, Inc. ("RII"), formerly Republic Waste
Industries, Inc., announced the contemplation of a plan to exit the hazardous
waste services segment of the environmental industry. The plan included the
combination of RII's former hazardous waste services operations in Republic
Environmental Systems, Inc. ("RESI") and the distribution of the stock of RESI
to the stockholders of record of RII (the "Distribution"). In April 1995, the
Board of Directors approved the Distribution to RII stockholders of record as of
April 21, 1995. RII stockholders received one share of RESI's common stock for
every five shares of RII common stock owned on the record date of the
Distribution (the "Distribution Date"). RII currently has no ownership interest
in RESI.
In connection with the Distribution, RESI and RII entered into various
agreements including the Distribution Agreement, Corporate Services Agreement,
Tax Sharing Agreement and various indemnity agreements.
The Distribution Agreement provided for, among other things, the principal
corporate transactions required to effect the Distribution and the contribution
of RII's Canadian hazardous waste services subsidiary to RESI. The Distribution
Agreement also provided for RII to contribute an additional $2.4 million in
capital to RESI to repay indebtedness and to provide working capital in
connection with the Distribution.
The Corporate Services Agreement provides for RII to provide certain
services, including insurance administration, human resources management,
financial reporting and tax, legal and environmental engineering services to
RESI after the Distribution, until the agreement is terminated by either party.
The cost to RESI of such arrangement did not differ significantly from the costs
allocated to RESI in the past, as included in the accompanying statements of
operations. This agreement is expected to terminate at the end of the first
quarter in 1996.
The Tax Sharing Agreement provides for, among other things, the treatment
of tax matters for periods through the date of the Distribution and
responsibility for any adjustments as a result of audit by any taxing authority.
The general terms provide for the indemnification for any tax detriment incurred
by one party which is caused by the other party's actions.
Other agreements include various indemnity agreements which provided for
indemnification by RESI to RII, and vice versa, for potential increases or
decreases in any RESI liabilities which remained with RII as a result of
previously shared arrangements.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements at December 31, 1995
include the accounts of RESI and its subsidiaries, the successor to the business
of Stout Environmental, Inc. ("Stout"), a Delaware corporation, acquired by RII
in March 1992, as well as the accounts of Republic Environmental Systems Ltd.
("RESL") (formerly known as Great Lakes Environmental Group Ltd.), the former
Canadian hazardous waste services subsidiary of RII, which was acquired by RII
in July 1991 and was contributed to RESI as of the Distribution Date
(collectively, the "Company"). One of RESI's subsidiaries, Republic
Environmental Systems (Cleveland) (RES (Cleveland)), Inc. (formerly known as
Evergreen Environmental Group, Inc.), was acquired by RII in September 1991, in
a transaction separate from the Stout acquisition and was contributed to RESI in
May 1993. The accounts of RESI and all its majority owned subsidiaries are
included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. All significant
intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
F-12
13
REPUBLIC ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
The combined financial statements for all periods presented prior to the
Distribution Date include the historical accounts and operations of the former
RII businesses that now comprise the Company. Material transactions between
entities included herein have also been eliminated.
RII has in the past provided certain corporate general and administrative
services to the Company as described previously. The expenses for these
services, which amounted to $391,000, $851,000, and $839,000 during 1995, 1994
and 1993, respectively, were charged or allocated to the Company on a basis that
approximated the cost of actual services provided. Management believes that the
allocation of expenses was made on a reasonable basis and that expenses to be
incurred as a stand-alone entity will not differ significantly from the amount
of expenses allocated to the Company by RII.
Revenue Recognition
The Company provides a full range of hazardous waste services including
collection, disposal, treatment, storage and recycling services to a broad base
of industrial and commercial waste generators in the Eastern United States and
Canada. Consistent with industry practice, the Company recognizes revenue upon
the receipt and acceptance of waste material at its waste treatment, storage and
disposal facilities ("TSD Facilities"). Appropriate disposal costs are accrued
upon acceptance at its TSD Facilities.
Earnings Per Share
Primary earnings per share computations are based on the weighted average
number of outstanding common and common share equivalents with dilutive effects.
Primary and fully diluted income (loss) per share are the same in each period.
Income (loss) per share for periods prior to the Distribution, have been
determined based on the assumed weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding which was considered to be equal to one-fifth of the weighted
average number of shares of RESI common stock for the respective periods.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major
additions and improvements are capitalized, while minor replacements,
maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property is
retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in current
operations.
Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets
involved using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives are: twenty
years for buildings and improvements, five to fifteen years for vehicles and
equipment and five years for furniture and fixtures.
A summary of property and equipment is shown below (in thousands):

REPUBLIC ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
Accrued Liabilities
The Company provides accruals for the disposal of hazardous and
nonhazardous waste which has been accepted at its TSD Facilities. At December
31, 1995 and 1994, disposal accruals of $948,000 and $1,107,000, respectively,
were included in accrued liabilities.
Also reflected in accrued liabilities are insurance reserves. Since 1991,
the Company has participated in RII's combined risk management programs for
property and casualty insurance. The Company has agreed to indemnify RII against
increases in current losses and any future losses incurred in connection with
the Company's participation in these programs. The Company continued to
participate in RII's combined risk management programs until the expiration of
these policies in June 1995. The Company has its own insurance program after
that date. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the insurance accrual was $488,000 and
$72,000, respectively.
Accrued Environmental Costs
Accruals for investigatory and remediation costs are recorded when it is
probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be
reasonably estimated. Accrued costs include investigative, administrative, legal
and remediation costs associated with site clean-up. Environmental compliance
costs including maintenance, monitoring and similar costs are expensed as
incurred.
The measurement of environmental liabilities is based on an evaluation of
currently available facts with respect to each individual site and considers
factors such as existing technology, presently enacted laws and regulations, and
prior experience in remediation of contaminated sites. While the current law
potentially imposes joint and several liability upon each party at any Superfund
site, the Company's contribution to clean up these sites is expected to be
limited, given the number of other companies which have also been named as
potentially responsible parties, the volumes of waste involved, and that most of
these matters are indemnified by the former shareholders of Stout (see Note 4).
A reasonable basis for apportionment of costs among responsible parties is
determined and the likelihood of contribution by other parties is established.
If it is considered probable that the Company will only have to pay its expected
share of the total site cleanup, the liability reflects the Company's expected
share. In determining the probability of contribution, the Company considers the
solvency of the parties, whether responsibility is being disputed, the terms of
any existing agreements, and experience to date regarding similar matters. These
liabilities do not take into account any claims for recoveries from insurance or
third parties and are not discounted. As assessments and remediation progress at
individual sites, these liabilities are reviewed periodically and adjusted to
reflect additional technical and legal information which becomes available.
Actual costs to be incurred at identified sites in future periods may vary from
the estimates, given inherent uncertainties in evaluating environmental
exposures.
Anticipated cash expenditures for 1996 are expected to be approximately
$2.0 million ($1.1 million expected to be indemnified). The exact timing of cash
payments from beyond this period are impacted by various governmental and
non-governmental agencies and therefore difficult to predict with any certainty.
Income Taxes
The U.S. operations of the Company are included in the combined federal
income tax return of RII through the Distribution date and on a stand alone
basis thereafter, whereas the Company's Canadian operations file a separate
Canadian tax return. The Company's income tax provision in the accompanying
statements of operations is calculated as if it filed separate tax returns in
both the United States and Canada for all periods.
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109.
Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
F-14
15
REPUBLIC ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
recognized for the tax effects of temporary differences between the financial
reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted rates.
Goodwill
Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over forty years.
Amortization expense related to goodwill and other intangible assets was
$255,000, $460,000, and $734,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
It is the Company's policy to review goodwill for possible impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
such assets may not be recoverable. The realizability of goodwill is evaluated
periodically as events and circumstances dictate. Such evaluation is based on
various analyses, including cash flow and profitability projections. Generally,
the unamortized goodwill from each acquisition is measured against undiscounted
cash flows from such entity. If such an evaluation indicates an impairment has
occurred, an appropriate writedown would be made based upon a discounted cash
flow analysis or similar determination of fair value. Such adjustment would be
recorded in the period when such events occur and analyses are completed. If
such review indicates that the carrying amount of goodwill is not recoverable,
it is the Company's policy to reduce the carrying amount of such assets to fair
value (see Note 3).
Statements of Cash Flows
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with purchased
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The effect of noncash
transactions are excluded from the statements of cash flows.
Foreign Currency Translation
All asset and liability accounts of foreign subsidiaries are translated to
U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. All
income statement accounts of foreign subsidiaries are translated at average
exchange rates during the year. Resulting translation adjustments arising from
these translations are charged or credited directly to equity. Gain or loss on
foreign currency transactions is included in income as incurred. Such amounts
were not material in any year presented.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The book values of cash, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable and
financial instruments included in other current assets and other assets
approximate their fair values principally because of the short-term maturities
of these instruments. The fair value of the Company's long-term debt is
estimated based on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of similar
terms and maturities. Under this method the Company's fair value of long-term
debt was not significantly different than the stated value at December 31, 1995
and 1994.
In the normal course of business, the Company has letters of credit,
performance bonds and other guarantees which are not reflected in the
accompanying balance sheets. Management believes that the likelihood of
nonperformance under these financial instruments is minimal and expects no
material losses to occur in connection with these financial instruments.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited
due to the wide variety of customers and markets into which the Company's
services are provided, as well as their dispersion across different geographic
areas. As a result, as of December 31, 1995, the Company does not consider
itself to have any significant concentrations of credit risk. For the years
ended 1995, 1994 and 1993, bad debt expense was $119,000, $929,000 and $914,000
and bad debt write-offs were $262,000, $635,000 and $632,000, respectively.
F-15

REPUBLIC ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Accounting Pronouncements
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 121 (the "Statement") on accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets,
certain identifiable intangibles and goodwill related to assets to be held and
used. The Statement also establishes accounting standards for long-lived assets
and certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed of. The Company is required
to adopt the Statement in 1996, and based on a preliminary review, no material
impact is anticipated.
3. RESTRUCTURING AND UNUSUAL CHARGES
Recapitalization of RESL in 1994
In connection with the decision by RII to distribute the hazardous waste
services segment to its existing shareholders, which included the contribution
of the Canadian hazardous waste services subsidiary, RESL, to RESI at the
Distribution Date, RII recapitalized RESL. As such the Company evaluated each of
the individual TSD Facility operations of RESL considering the continued weak
Canadian economy and the amount of capital RESI could devote to RESL's
operations in the future. The results of this evaluation indicated that the
undiscounted cash flows of certain of the individual Canadian TSD Facilities did
not support the recorded amounts of goodwill without a substantial improvement
in the Canadian economy or the investment of substantial amounts of capital.
Additionally, the amount of goodwill recorded as a result of the acquisition of
RESL by RII in 1991 could not be supported by the expected changes in operations
after the planned contribution of RESL to RESI. As a result, the Company wrote
off approximately $6,380,000 of goodwill at RESL in the fourth quarter of 1994.
The Company also wrote off $1,194,000 in abandoned or to-be-abandoned property
and accrued approximately $910,000 of costs associated with the Distribution.
Reorganization of hazardous waste operations in 1993
In order to counteract severe market conditions in the hazardous waste
industry, the Company decided to reorganize its operations in the fourth quarter
of 1993. As a result, the Company consolidated certain TSD operations,
terminated certain contracts, closed or decided to close certain facilities,
reduced its workforce by over 135 people (or 30%) and wrote off goodwill and
other intangibles associated with the closed and abandoned facilities. In
accordance with industry standards, the Company provides for closure costs over
the life of a facility. Accordingly, the Company has fully provided for these
costs on the closed and to-be-closed facilities. In addition to the
reorganization of operations, the Company also reevaluated its exposure related
to litigation and environmental matters and provided additional accruals for the
costs to defend or settle certain
F-16

litigation and environmental matters. A summary of these charges for the closed,
abandoned and to-be-closed facilities is as follows (in thousands):

Accruals for cost of settlement of defense and

-------
$14,906
=======
4. ACCRUED ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS
The Company's waste services activities are conducted in the context of a
developing and changing statutory and regulatory framework, aggressive
government enforcement and a highly visible political environment. Governmental
regulation of the waste management industry requires the Company to obtain and
retain numerous governmental permits to conduct various aspects of its
operations. These permits are subject to revocation, modification or denial. The
costs and other capital expenditures which may be required to obtain or retain
the applicable permits or comply with applicable regulations could be
significant.
Certain of the Company's facilities are contaminated from past spills of
potentially hazardous material. The amount and severity of contamination are
currently under investigation. The Company believes that remedial action will be
required, including continued investigation, monitoring and treatment of
groundwater and/or possible soil removal. As part of the acquisition of Stout in
1992 by RII, certain of the former stockholders of Stout agreed to indemnify RII
and the Company for certain litigation matters and environmental matters
identified as of the closing date of the merger. The obligation under this
indemnity is secured by amounts held in an escrow fund. The Company accrues for
known exposures in regards to these indemnified matters. Reimbursements from the
escrow account are reflected as capital contributions as cash is received. In
1995, the Company received reimbursement of $2.1 million with respect to these
indemnified matters.
The following is a description of proceedings whose claims are covered by
the indemnity obligations of the former Stout stockholders.
Adams Oil, Inc.
Adams Oil, Inc.("Adams Oil"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of RESI,
previously operated an oil terminal located in Camden, New Jersey. RESI is
aware that there is evidence of contamination on the property which may
have been caused by past spills of possible hazardous materials (i.e.,
petroleum hydrocarbons, gasoline, diesel fuel). The amount and the sources
of the contamination are currently under investigation by Adams Oil. The
New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and Energy (the "NJDEPE")
has knowledge of the problem and has requested more information from Adams
Oil. Management believes that remedial action may be required and a
clean-up plan has been submitted to NJDEPE for approval.
Republic Environmental Systems (Pennsylvania), Inc.
Republic Environmental Systems (Pennsylvania), Inc. ("RES
(Pennsylvania)") has been named as a PRP in the North Penn Area No. 2
regional ground water problem involving 56 square miles
F-17
18
REPUBLIC ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
occupied by hundreds of industrial companies. The EPA has requested that
RES (Pennsylvania) enter into an administrative consent order to
investigate and determine its contribution, if any, to the regional
groundwater problem. RES (Pennsylvania) believes that it should not agree
to a consent order under CERCLA, but instead should be regulated under its
RCRA corrective action permit. The EPA is looking at the septic system and
the contamination of groundwater, as well as considering adding other PRP
companies. RES (Pennsylvania) is assisting the EPA by conducting testing.
RES (Pennsylvania) is not aware of any evidence that it contributed to a
regional groundwater problem.
In addition, RES (Pennsylvania) (formerly known as Waste Conversion,
Inc.) also has been named as a PRP along with 13 other primary defendants
for the recovery costs to remediate the Moyers Landfill Site in eastern
Pennsylvania. A company previously known as Waste Conversion of Delaware,
Inc. disposed of materials at Moyers Landfill from 1979 to 1981. This
company then sold its assets to Waste Conversion, Inc., which was owned by
Stout. RES (Pennsylvania) is currently in settlement negotiations with the
EPA to limit its exposure in this matter.
Also, RES (New York) and RES (Pennsylvania) are parties in a PRP
action with respect to the Aqua-Tech TSD facility in South Carolina. There
are 180 parties to date. In April 1993, an agreement was reached whereby
RESI paid $360,060 for proposed settlement of certain issues at the
facility, pending the final allocation to the PRP's.
The Company is involved in various matters of litigation and is subject to
ongoing environmental investigations by certain regulatory agencies involving
environmental matters, as well as other claims and disputes that could result in
additional litigation. The environmental investigations include notifications
that the Company is a Potentially Responsible Party, as defined under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as
amended, in several site cleanups. With regard to certain of these matters, the
Company has been assessed penalties which it has appealed or has ongoing
negotiations to reduce the level of the assessments. The more significant items
include:
RES (Cleveland), Inc.
In June 1993, RES (Cleveland) received a Complaint and Compliance
Order from the Enforcement Division of Region 5 of the EPA alleging that
the former owners of RES (Cleveland)'s TSD Facility failed to submit a
proper RCRA Facility Investigation ("RFI") Workplan to the EPA on a timely
basis and fined RES (Cleveland). This RFI Workplan included any remedial
action plan necessary for the remediation of sub-surface soil at the TSD
Facility. In September 1993, Region 5 of the EPA approved for
implementation the RFI Workplan submitted by RES (Cleveland).
Republic Environmental Systems (New York), Inc.
In late June 1993, the Company voluntarily ceased operating at its TSD
Facility in Nassau County, New York, due to ongoing disputes and
negotiations with various regulatory agencies including the New York
Department of Environmental Conservation, the town of Oyster Bay and Nassau
County. In addition, RES (New York) received from the New York DEC a
proposed Summary Order in an Administrative Action commenced by the New
York DEC against the RES (New York) facility, whereby the New York DEC
sought revocation of RES (New York)'s permit to operate as a TSD Facility.
The New York DEC withdrew a previous consent order against RES (New York),
under which RES (New York) had agreed to pay $100,000, and subsequently
fined RES (New York) for alleged violations at the facility.
In early 1994, RES (New York) also permanently closed its hazardous
waste treatment, storage and disposal facility in Nassau County, New York
due to ongoing disputes and negotiations with the New York DEC, the town of
Oyster Bay and Nassau County. In addition, RES (New York) entered into a
F-18

REPUBLIC ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
consent decree with the New York DEC which provided for payment by RES (New
York) of $150,000 and the manner in which RESI was required to close the
facility. The parties are currently negotiating the technical aspects of
the requirements relating to facility closure.
Additionally, due to the reorganization of operations in 1993 as discussed
in Note 3, the Company evaluated its exposure related to certain environmental
matters and litigation related to its closed or to-be-closed TSD Facilities. As
a result, the Company provided additional accruals of $2,806,000 for the costs
to defend or settle these matters in 1993, of which approximately $468,000
remains as of December 31, 1995.
Although it is possible that a loss exceeding amounts already recorded may
be incurred upon the resolution of the litigation and environmental matters
described above, management believes that such losses, if realized, will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's cash flows, consolidated results
of operations or combined financial position.
5. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS, NOTES PAYABLE, LONG-TERM DEBT AND CAPITALIZED LEASES
Short-Term Borrowings and Notes Payable
In May 1995, the Company secured a $6 million credit facility with
CoreStates Bank, N.A., to be used for additional working capital and other
funding needs. Up to $4.5 million of the credit facility is available for the
issuance of standby letters of credit. At December 31, 1995, the Company had
issued $2.6 million in standby letters of credit. The unused portion of the
facility is available for cash borrowings. There were no cash borrowings under
the credit facility during 1995.
The credit facility provides for the maintenance of certain restrictive
covenants including, among others, minimum working capital levels, maintaining
current and fixed charges ratios and a predetermined level of interest coverage.
The Company is also restricted from making any dividend payments and incurring
additional debt. This facility is collateralized by substantially all of the
Company's U.S. assets. During 1995, the Company was in full compliance with all
covenants.

In connection with the decision by RII to distribute the hazardous waste
services segment to its existing shareholders, as discussed in Note 2, RII
recapitalized RESL. In December 1994, the Company's Canadian subsidiary
converted its U.S. subordinated term loan payable by RESL to 360,000 shares of
redeemable convertible participating preferred stock of RESL. The preferred
stock, with a face amount of Canadian $9.0 million ($6.6 million U.S. as of
December 31, 1995), is redeemable at the option of the Company and is
convertible into 15% of the common stock of RESL at the option of the holder.
The holders of the preferred stock are eligible to receive dividends based on
the future profitability of RESL in excess of specified target earnings levels.
The Company recorded an extraordinary gain on the conversion to preferred stock
of approximately U.S. $5.6 million, net of income taxes, based on the preferred
stock's fair market value.
The fair market value of the preferred stock was estimated by management
based on the current financial condition of the Canadian subsidiary, projected
undiscounted net income of that subsidiary and the current estimated fair market
value of the Canadian subsidiary.

6. STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
Stock Options
On the Distribution Date, holders of options to acquire RII Common Stock,
previously granted to employees, directors and affiliates of RII, received
options to acquire RESI Common Stock at the ratio of one RESI option for each
five RII options. These options have substantially similar terms to the RII
options. The outstanding options of RII at the Distribution Date and the RESI
options granted with respect thereto are stapled (i.e., RII options and RESI
options granted with respect thereto are only exercisable if exercised
together). The per share exercise prices of RII and RESI options at the
Distribution Date were appropriately adjusted to reflect the effect of the
Distribution on the market prices of RII and RESI Common Stock. The combined
exercise price of an option to purchase shares of RII Common Stock and the
option to purchase shares of RESI Common Stock granted with respect thereto was
equal to the exercise price of the RII option prior to the Distribution Date.
Unvested RII options held by any optionee and the unvested RESI options granted
to such optionee with respect to such RII options, vests in accordance with the
vesting schedule of the RII options held by such optionee as long as the
optionee is employed by RII or RESI or their affiliates. Options granted under
this plan expire ten years from the date of grant and vest over varying periods.
In April 1995, the RESI Board of Directors approved the RESI Adjustment Plan
("Adjustment Plan") and approved the issuance, on the Distribution Date, of
options to purchase up to 450,000 shares of RESI Common Stock. The purpose of
the Adjustment Plan is to provide for the issuance of RESI options to certain
optionees who have been granted options to purchase RII Common Stock which were
outstanding as of the Distribution Date. The option price of these plans is
based on the fair market value of the common shares on the date that the stock
options are granted.
In May 1995, the RESI Board of Directors approved the RESI 1995 Employee
Stock Option Plan for certain key employees of the Company. A maximum of 500,000
options may be awarded to purchase the Company's Common Stock. The option price
under this plan shall not be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock
on the date the stock option is granted. In the event of a change of control, as
defined in the plan, all outstanding employee options shall become immediately
exercisable and the prescribed time limits for exercise will run from such
vesting.
Certain information for 1995 relative to these stock option plans is
summarized below:
Number of Shares
Granted at Distribution Date.................... 420,400
Granted subsequent to distribution.............. 31,000

(a) Options were exercised at prices ranging from $1.08 to $5.80.
(b) For outstanding shares under option at December 31, 1995, option prices
ranged from $1.08 to $5.80 (and averaged $2.25). The expiration dates for
these options from May 1996 to May 2004.

Warrants
As of the Distribution Date, there were outstanding unexercised warrants
(the "RII Warrants") to acquire 4,361,500 shares of RII Common Stock. On the
Distribution Date, the holders of unexpired RII Warrants received additional
warrants (the "RESI Warrants") to acquire a number of shares equal to one-fifth
the number of shares of RII Common Stock (or 872,300 of RESI Common Stock) which
they may acquire upon exercise of their outstanding RII options. The outstanding
RII and RESI options are stapled and contain substantially similar terms. The
per share exercise price of the RESI warrants has been appropriately adjusted to
reflect the effect of the Distribution on the market prices of the RII and RESI
Common Stock. There were 250,000 RESI warrants exercised at prices ranging from
$1.08 to $5.10 with no cancellations occurring during the year. These warrants
expire beginning July 1996 to May 2003.
7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Operating Lease Commitments
The Company leases certain of its premises and certain equipment under
various operating lease agreements. At December 31, 1995, future minimum rental
commitments becoming payable under all operating leases are as follows (in
thousands):
1996.................................................. $412
1997.................................................. 370
1998.................................................. 316
1999.................................................. 302
2000.................................................. 233
Thereafter............................................ 222
Total rental expense incurred under operating leases was $709,000,
$848,000, and $1,058,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Employee Benefits
Effective January 1, 1994, RESI instituted a defined contribution 401(k)
savings plan ("the Plan") for employees meeting certain employment requirements
which covered the Company's eligible employees. Under the Plan, RESI may, at its
discretion, match a portion of employee contributions based on the profitability
and growth of RESI. There have been no contributions to the Plan.
Other Matters
In May 1994, RESI decided to terminate its operations at a TSD Facility in
Farmingdale, New York. RESI's Dayton, Ohio TSD facility terminated operations in
October, 1995. RESI has ceased its efforts to relocate the Dayton, Ohio TSD
facility, but will continue to provide services in Ohio through its Bedford,
Ohio facility. With respect to the closing of each of these TSD facilities, RESI
has accrued the appropriate costs.
At December 31, 1995, RESI had placed in escrow accounts approximately
$873,000 in connection with TSD Facility closure and certain other obligations,
of which $813,000 was included in cash and cash equivalents and $60,000 was
included in other current assets. Additionally, RESI has used its bonding
facilities for the issuance of payment, performance and bid bonds, of which $1.9
million in bonds were outstanding at December 31, 1995.

8. CAPITAL STOCK
At the Distribution Date, RII stockholders of record as of April 21, 1995
received one share of RESI's common stock for each five shares of RII common
stock held. If the Distribution had taken place on December 31, 1994,
approximately 10,800,000 million shares of RESI's common stock would have been
issued.
During the current year, the Board of Directors adopted resolutions
authorizing, but not requiring, RESI to purchase up to a total of 500,000 shares
from time to time. As of December 31, 1995, 102,000 shares had been acquired at
a cost of $145,000. Subsequent to year-end, the Board of Directors authorized an
additional 500,000 shares to be purchased. and 594,000 shares were repurchased
at a cost of $896,000.
9. INCOME TAXES

===== ======= =======
In addition to the above, RESI recorded a deferred income tax provision of
$3,092,000 in 1994 related to the extraordinary gain on conversion of debt.
Deferred tax assets are recognized under SFAS No. 109 unless it is "more
likely than not" that they will not be realized. In 1993, RESI recorded a
$3,508,000 valuation allowance related to the realization of deferred tax assets
generated as a result of the restructuring and unusual charges. This valuation
allowance was recorded due to the uncertainty surrounding the future utilization
of such deferred tax assets. In 1994, the valuation allowance was eliminated
based on the expected realization of such deferred tax assets primarily as a
result of the deferred tax gain generated from the conversion of the Canadian
debt to redeemable convertible participating preferred stock (see Note 5).

At December 31, 1995 the Company had available U.S. net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $8.9 million which begin to expire in the year
2006. The Company also has approximately $3.8 million of Canadian net operating
loss carryforwards, the majority of which will begin to expire in 1999.
The U.S. operations of RESI are included in the consolidated federal income
tax return of RII through the date of the Distribution. All tax amounts above as
well as tax amounts included in the accompanying combined financial statements
have been reflected as if RESI filed a separate federal tax return.
The Company and RII have entered into a tax sharing agreement which
reflects each party's rights and obligations with respect to deficiencies and
refunds, if any, of federal, state or other taxes related to RESI, or RII's
hazardous waste services subsidiaries prior to their distribution to RESI, for
tax periods prior to the Distribution. RESI has agreed to indemnify RII for
positions taken in tax periods prior to the Distribution.
The tax sharing agreement provides for adjustments to the Company's net
deferred tax liability based on the completion of federal tax returns, in which
RESI will be included in the RII consolidated return. Adjustments might be
necessary due to the timing of certain deductions and the calculation of interim
period taxable income in 1995. Per the tax sharing agreement, any adjustments
necessary would affect the Company's equity as if such adjustments had been made
at the Distribution Date.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On May 19, 1996, RESI and Alliance Holding Company ("Alliance") signed a
binding letter of intent and agreed to the terms of mergers (the "Mergers")
pursuant to which RESI would issue to Alliance (i) 14,760,000 shares of RESI
Common Stock, (ii) warrants to acquire an additional 4,200,000 shares of RESI
Common Stock at exercise prices ranging from $2.625 to $3.875 per share and
exercisable over two to four year periods and (iii) a promissory note in the
principal amount of $4.0 million, in consideration for all of the outstanding
common stock of Alliance's wholly-owned subsidiaries, Century Surety Company and
Commercial Surety Agency, Inc. As part of the same transaction, MGD Holdings
Ltd. and Mr. H. Wayne Huizenga will each purchase 2,000,000 shares of RESI
common stock for $2.625 per share and will each

receive warrants to purchase an additional 6,000,000 shares of RESI Common Stock
at exercise prices ranging from $2.625 to $3.875 per share and exercisable over
two to four year periods.
As a result of the Mergers, there will be a change in control of RESI to
Alliance and utilization of the RESI net operating losses of approximately $8.9
million (at December 31, 1995) will be subject to certain limitations imposed by
the Internal Revenue Code.
Additionally, on June 7, 1996, RESI announced a two for one stock split,
effected in the form of a stock dividend effective June 14, 1996. These
consolidated and combined financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the
effect of the stock split.
Also, in May 1996, the Board of Directors approved a resolution to retire
all of the common shares held in the Company's treasury.

REPUBLIC ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated and combined financial statements
at June 30, 1996 include the accounts of Republic Environmental Systems, Inc.
and its subsidiaries ("RESI"), the successor to the business of Stout
Environmental, Inc. ("Stout"), a Delaware corporation, acquired by Republic
Industries, Inc. ("RII"), formerly Republic Waste Industries, Inc., in March
1992, as well as the accounts of Republic Environmental Systems Ltd. ("RESL")
(formerly known as Great Lakes Environmental Group Ltd.), the former Canadian
hazardous waste services subsidiary of RII, which was acquired by RII in July
1991 and was contributed to RESI as of the Distribution Date (collectively, the
"Company"). One of RESI's subsidiaries, Republic Environmental Systems
(Cleveland) (RES (Cleveland)), Inc. (formerly known as Evergreen Environmental
Group, Inc.), was acquired by RII in September 1991, in a transaction separate
from the Stout acquisition and was contributed to RESI in May 1993. The accounts
of RESI and all its majority owned subsidiaries are included in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions
have been eliminated.
The consolidated and combined financial statements of RESI and its
subsidiaries included herein have been prepared by RESI, without audit, pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of
RESI, the accompanying statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present
fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for those
periods indicated, and contain adequate disclosure to make the information
presented not misleading. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature
unless otherwise disclosed in the notes to consolidated and combined financial
statements. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated and combined
financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
notes thereto included elsewhere herein.
Results of operations for any six month period are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations for a full year.
The combined financial statements for all periods presented prior to the
Distribution Date include the historical accounts and operations of the former
RII businesses that now comprise the Company. Material transactions between
entities included herein have also been eliminated.
2. EARNINGS PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE
The computation of weighted average common and common equivalent shares
used in the calculation of earnings per share for the six months ended June 30,
1996 is shown below (in thousands):

=====
On June 7, 1996 the Board of Directors declared a two-for-one split of
RESI's common stock, $.01 par value per share ("Common Stock"), in the form of a
100% stock dividend, payable June 30, 1996, to holders of record on June 14,
1996. Accordingly, all prior year share and per share information contained
herein reflects the stock split.

REPUBLIC ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
The difference between shares for primary and fully diluted earnings per
common and common equivalent share was not dilutive for the periods presented.
3. TREASURY STOCK
In April 1995 the RESI Board of Directors adopted resolutions authorizing,
but not requiring, RESI to repurchase up to a total of 500,000 shares (or 4.6%
of the then outstanding RESI Common Stock) from time to time. The repurchasing
of shares was intended to achieve a more favorable balance between the market
supply of the shares and expected market demand, as well as establish stability
in the trading market for RESI shares. Repurchases were effected at prevailing
market prices from time to time on the open market prior to the negotiation of
the Combination (see: Note 4). The last repurchase was effected by RESI on March
4, 1996 and as of such date RESI had repurchased approximately 695,842 shares of
RESI Common Stock for an aggregate cost of approximately $1,040,000. On May 9,
1996, the RESI Board of Directors authorized the retirement of the 695,842
shares of RESI Common Stock.
4. PROPOSED MERGER AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On May 19, 1996, RESI and Alliance Holding Company ("Alliance") signed a
binding letter of intent and agreed to the terms of mergers (the "Mergers")
pursuant to which RESI would issue to Alliance (i) 14,760,000 shares of RESI
Common Stock, (ii) warrants to acquire an additional 4,200,000 shares of RESI
Common Stock at exercise prices ranging from $2.625 to $3.875 per share and
exercisable over two to four year periods and (iii) a promissory note in the
principal amount of $4.0 million, in consideration for all of the outstanding
common stock of Alliance's wholly-owned subsidiaries, Century Surety Company and
Commercial Surety Agency, Inc. As part of the same transaction, MGD Holdings
Ltd. and Mr. H. Wayne Huizenga will each purchase 2,000,000 shares of RESI
common stock for $2.625 per share and will each receive warrants to purchase an
additional 6,000,000 shares of RESI Common Stock at exercise prices ranging from
$2.625 to $3.875 per share and exercisable over two to four year periods.
As a result of the Mergers, there will be a change in control of RESI to
Alliance and utilization of the RESI net operating losses of approximately $8.9
million (at December 31, 1995) will be subject to certain limitations imposed by
the Internal Revenue Code.
On June 7, 1996, RESI announced a two for one stock split, effected in the
form of a stock dividend effective June 14, 1996. These consolidated and
combined financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the effect of the
stock split.
In May 1996, the Board of Directors approved a resolution to retire all of
the common shares held in the Company's treasury.
During July 1996, the Alliance Companies entered into an agreement to
acquire Environmental & Commercial Insurance Agency, Inc.; an agreement with
Gulf Insurance Company and Midwest Indemnity Corporation ("Midwest") for the
production, underwriting and reinsurance of contract surety and surety bond
business primarily to environmental businesses; and an option to purchase assets
of Midwest. These transactions are subject to the consummation of the Mergers.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors
Century Surety Company:
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Century Surety
Company (a wholly owned subsidiary of Alliance Holding Corporation) and
subsidiaries (collectively, the Company), as listed in the accompanying index on
page F-1. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial
statements, we have also audited the financial statement schedules as listed in
the accompanying index on page F-1. These consolidated financial statements and
financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Century
Surety Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the financial statement schedules,
when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken
as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth
therein.
As discussed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, in 1994
the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.

CENTURY SURETY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF ALLIANCE HOLDING CORPORATION)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Consolidation Policy
Century Surety Company ("CSC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Alliance
Holding Corporation ("Alliance"), was incorporated in 1978 as an Ohio property
and casualty insurance company and was acquired by Alliance in 1988. The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CSC and
its wholly owned subsidiaries: CSC Insurance Agency, Incorporated ("CSCI"),
Continental Heritage Insurance Company ("CHIC"), Evergreen National Indemnity
Company ("Evergreen"), American Inspection & Audit Service, Inc. ("AIAS"),
Continental Heritage Life Insurance Company ("CHLIC") (through May 22, 1995) and
Latitude Premium Finance Company ("Latitude") (through March 3, 1993)
(collectively, the "CSC Group").
CSC acquired Evergreen on December 31, 1993 through a capital contribution
from its parent and $1.61 million paid by CSC. On April 14, 1994, CSC paid
$16,400 for 100% of the outstanding common stock of AIAS. These transactions
were accounted for as purchases by CSC in accordance with the provisions of
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16 with the acquired assets and assumed
liabilities recorded at their estimated fair values. The acquisitions of AIAS
and Evergreen did not have a material impact on the accompanying consolidated
statements of income. See notes 7 and 9. In addition, on March 3, 1993, CSC sold
Latitude to an unrelated party, and on May 22, 1995, CSC liquidated CHLIC. These
transactions did not have a material impact on the CSC Group's consolidated
financial position or results of operations.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.
(b) Business Description
The CSC Group primarily writes "non-standard" or specialty coverages,
including bonding, property and casualty insurance coverages to individual and
commercial customers through independent agents and affiliated agents primarily
throughout Ohio and over 40 other states. The CSC Group's coverages primarily
insure risks regarded as higher than standard, or normal, risks and to risk
groups regarded as too small or too rare to permit profitable underwriting by
larger, "standard market" insurance companies. In general, non-standard
insurance and bonds are more expensive, and coverage more limited, because of
perceived additional risk associated with this type of business. The CSC Group
attempts to identify and exploit those niches in the non-standard market where
the actual risk is significantly less than the perceived risk at which the
coverage is defined and priced, or where the CSC Group, because of its smaller
size and lower overhead, is able to underwrite coverages more economically than
larger carriers can. The CSC Group is subject to competition from other property
and casualty insurance companies and to the regulations of certain state and
federal agencies and undergoes periodic financial examinations by those
regulatory authorities.
Following is a description of additional significant risks facing
property/casualty insurers and how the CSC Group mitigates those risks:
Inadequate Pricing Risk is the risk that the premium charged for
insurance and insurance related products is insufficient to cover the costs
associated with the distribution of such products which include: claim and
loss costs, loss adjustment expense, acquisition expense, and other
corporate expenses. The CSC group utilizes a variety of actuarial and/or
other qualitative methods to set such levels.
Adverse Loss Development and IBNR Risk is the risk inherent in the
handling and settling of claims whose ultimate costs, which include loss
costs, loss adjustment expenses, and other related expenses, are unknown at
the time the claim is presented. An associated risk relates to claims which
have been incurred, but for which the company has no knowledge. The CSC
Group makes judgments as to the
F-37
38
CENTURY SURETY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF ALLIANCE HOLDING CORPORATION)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
ultimate costs of presented claims and makes provision for their future
payment by establishing reserves for existing claims (case reserves) and
for incurred but not reported claims (IBNR); however, there can be no
assurance that the amounts reserved will be adequate to ultimately make all
required payments.
Legal/Regulatory Risk is the risk that changes in the legal or
regulatory environment in which an insurer operates will occur and create
additional loss costs or expenses not anticipated by the insurer in pricing
its products. That is, regulatory initiatives designed to reduce insurer
profits or new legal theories may create costs for the insurer beyond those
recorded in the financial statements. The CSC Group is exposed to this risk
by writing approximately 40% of its business in Ohio and surrounding
states, thus increasing its exposure to a particular region. This risk is
reduced by underwriting and loss adjusting practices that identify and
minimize the adverse impact of this risk.
Credit Risk is the risk that issuers of securities and mortgagors of
the mortgages owned by the CSC Group will default, or other parties,
including reinsurers that owe the CSC Group money will not pay. The CSC
Group minimize this risk by adhering to a conservative investment strategy,
by maintaining sound reinsurance and credit and collection policies, and by
providing for any amounts deemed uncollectible.
Interest Rate Risk is the risk that interest rates will change and
cause a decrease in the value of an insurer's investments. The CSC Group
mitigates this risk by attempting to match the maturity schedule of its
assets with the expected payouts of its liabilities. To the extent that
liabilities come due more quickly than assets mature, an insurer would have
to sell assets prior to maturity and recognize a gain or loss. Management
believes that the CSC Group's positive cash flow from investment income and
operations will enable the CSC Group to operate without having to recognize
significant losses from the sale of investments that have an unrealized
holding loss as of December 31, 1995.
(c) Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Purchase accounting
adjustments and subsequent amortization of such adjustments (reflecting the
basis in acquired companies and earnings since acquisition) have been recorded
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. GAAP differs from
statutory accounting practices used by insurance companies in reporting to state
regulatory authorities.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required
to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities
as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ
significantly from those estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change
in the near-term relate to the determination of losses and loss expenses payable
and the recoverability of deferred policy acquisition costs. In connection with
the determination of losses and loss expenses payable, management uses the
methodology discussed in note 1(h) to estimate the liability. In evaluating the
recoverability of deferred policy acquisition costs, management uses the
methodology discussed in note 1(f).
Management believes that the recorded liability for losses and loss
expenses is adequate. While management uses available information to estimate
losses and loss expenses payable, future changes to the liability may be
necessary based on claims experience and changing claims frequency and severity
conditions. Management also believes that deferred policy acquisition costs are
recoverable; however, future costs that are associated with the business in the
unearned premium liability could exceed management's estimates, causing the
recorded asset to be unrecoverable in whole or in part.

(d) Investments
The CSC Group account for their investment securities in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities ("SFAS No. 115"). Fixed maturity
securities that the CSC Group have the positive intent and ability to hold to
maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and are stated at amortized cost;
other fixed maturity securities and all equity securities are classified as
available-for-sale and are stated at fair value, with the unrealized gains and
losses, net of deferred income tax, reported as a separate component of
shareholder's equity. The CSC Group has no investment securities classified as
trading. Pursuant to a Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Special
Report, A Guide to Implementation of Statement 115 on Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, the CSC Group reassessed the
classification of all its investment securities. Effective December 20, 1995,
the CSC Group reclassified some of its held-to-maturity securities to
available-for-sale (see note 2). The CSC Group adopted SFAS No. 115 as of
January 1, 1994, with no effect on net income and an increase to shareholder's
equity of $36,215.
Mortgage loans on real estate are stated at the unpaid principal balance of
such loans. Other investments consist primarily of investments in joint ventures
and are recorded using the equity method. Short-term investments have original
maturities less than one year and are carried at cost which approximates market.
Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are determined on the
basis of specific security identification and also includes other than temporary
declines. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and dividend income
is recognized on the ex-dividend date.
(e) Premium Balances Receivable
Premium balances receivable include amounts due relating to assumed
reinsurance and are stated net of certain commission payable amounts.
(f) Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs
Acquisition costs, consisting of commissions, premium taxes and certain
underwriting expenses that vary with and are primarily related to the production
of business are deferred and amortized ratably over the policy term. The method
followed in computing deferred policy acquisition costs limits the amount of
such deferred costs to their estimated realizable value. In determining
estimated realizable value, the computation gives effect to the premium to be
earned, losses and loss expenses to be incurred, and certain other costs
expected to be incurred as premium is earned. Deferred policy acquisition costs
amortized to expense during the year was $6,612,518, $5,268,596 and $4,996,403
in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
(g) Furniture and Equipment
Furniture and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated
depreciation. The CSC Group uses an accelerated method of depreciation using the
estimated useful lives of the assets.
(h) Losses and Loss Expenses Payable
The liability for losses is provided based upon: (1) case basis estimates
for losses reported in respect to direct business; (2) estimates of unreported
losses based on estimated loss experience; (3) estimates received and
supplemental amounts provided relating to assumed reinsurance; and (4) deduction
for estimated salvage and subrogation recoverable.
The liability for loss expenses is established by estimating future
expenses to be incurred in settlement of the claims provided for in the
liability for losses.

CENTURY SURETY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF ALLIANCE HOLDING CORPORATION)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
The liability for losses and loss expenses is not discounted.
(i) Premium Recognition
Premiums are recognized as revenue in proportion to the insurance coverage
provided, which is generally ratable over the terms of the policies. Unearned
premiums are generally computed on the daily pro rata basis and include amounts
relating to assumed reinsurance.
(j) Reinsurance Ceded
Reinsurance balances are accounted for and reported in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 113, Accounting
and Reporting for Reinsurance of Short-Duration and Long-Duration Contracts.
Reinsurance receivables and prepaid reinsurance premiums are accounted for and
reported separately as assets, net of valuation allowance, rather than being
deducted from the liability for losses and loss expenses payable and unearned
premiums. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner
consistent with the claim liability. Contracts not resulting in the reasonable
possibility that the reinsurer may realize a significant loss from the insurance
risk assumed generally do not meet the conditions for reinsurance accounting and
are to be accounted for as deposits.
Reinsurance premiums ceded and reinsurance recoveries on claims incurred
are deducted from the respective revenue and expense accounts.
(k) Federal Income Taxes
CSC and its subsidiaries are members of a consolidated federal income tax
return filed with Alliance and other affiliates. Pursuant to written agreements,
CSC pays to or recovers from the parent the amount of federal income tax
calculated primarily on a separate return basis for itself and its wholly owned
subsidiaries. See note 7(a).
The CSC Group utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for
income tax. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled.
(l) Negative Goodwill
CSC was acquired by Alliance in July 1988 for $3.8 million. The fair value
of CSC's net assets in excess of the purchase price was recorded as negative
goodwill upon acquisition. During 1992, based on the ongoing favorable
evaluation of pre-1988 accident year loss development, which was the basis for
establishing negative goodwill as a result of the acquisition of CSC by Alliance
in 1988, CSC began amortizing negative goodwill over five years. Previously, it
was amortized over seven years. The balance of negative goodwill was fully
amortized in 1993.
(m) Statements of Cash Flows
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash includes
only funds on deposit.
(n) Reclassifications
Certain 1994 and 1993 amounts have been reclassified in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements to conform to 1995 presentation.

3. DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used by the CSC Group in
estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash, short-term investments, premium balances receivable, reinsurance
receivables, reinsurance balances payable and collateral held: The carrying
amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for these instruments
approximate their fair value.
Investment securities: Fair values for investments in fixed maturities
are based on quoted market prices, where available. For fixed maturities
not actively traded, fair values are estimated using values obtained from
independent pricing services. The fair values for equity securities are
based on quoted market prices. Fair values for fixed maturities available
for sale and equity securities are recognized in the consolidated balance
sheets.
Mortgage loans: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated
balance sheets are the aggregate unpaid balance of the loans and
approximate their fair value.
See note 2 for additional disclosure of fair value of investment
securities.

The CSC Group has experienced lower-than-anticipated ultimate losses on
prior years due primarily to a reduction in claims severity from that assumed in
establishing the liability for losses and loss expenses payable. The CSC Group's
environmental exposure relates primarily to its coverage of remediation related
risks (i.e., those firms correcting environmental problems as opposed to those
entities causing such damage); thus, management believes the CSC Group's
exposure to historic pollution situations is minimal.
5. REINSURANCE
In the ordinary course of business, the CSC Group assumes and cedes
reinsurance with other insurers and reinsurers. These arrangements provide the
CSC Group with a greater diversification of business and generally limit the
maximum net loss potential on large risks. Excess of loss reinsurance contracts
in effect at December 31, 1995, generally protect against individual property
and casualty losses over $200,000 and contract surety and miscellaneous bond
losses over $300,000. In addition to the excess of loss contract in effect for
contract surety business, a 50% quota share contract on the first $300,000 in
losses is in effect. Asbestos abatement, lead abatement, and environmental
consultants professional liability and remedial action contractors business is
75% ceded on a quota share basis to reinsurers. Catastrophe coverage is also
maintained.

The CSC Group evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and
monitors concentrations of credit risk arising from similar geographic regions,
activities, or economic characteristics of the reinsurers to minimize its
exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. The CSC Group
establishes a valuation allowance as reinsurance receivables are deemed
uncollectible. During 1995, the majority of ceded amounts were ceded to Reliance
Insurance Company, Republic Western Insurance Company ("Republic Western") and
Transatlantic Insurance Company, all of which are rated A- or better by A.M.

The CSC Group determines a valuation allowance based on their analysis of
amounts available in the statutory carryback period and consideration of future
deductible amounts. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of
January 1, 1994 was $467,549. The net change in the total valuation allowance
for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 was a decrease of $168,683 and an
increase of $434,575, respectively. Although the CSC Group has had a taxable
income over the last several years, significant income in some instances has
been attributable to non-recurring transactions and thus there is no assurance
that the CSC Group will remain profitable in future years. Therefore, the CSC
Group maintains a policy of
F-47

CENTURY SURETY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF ALLIANCE HOLDING CORPORATION)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
recognizing deferred tax assets recoverable in the carryback period and does not
consider future income. Management believes it is more likely than not that as
of December 31, 1995, future deductible amounts in excess of the valuation
allowance can be offset by recovery of federal income taxes paid within the
statutory carryback period.
7. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED COMPANIES
(a) Alliance
CSC received a tax benefit of $595,000 and $340,000 in 1995 and 1994,
respectively, from a tax allocation agreement with Alliance for dividends paid
to Alliance. The resultant reduction in CSC's tax payable is recorded as
additional paid-in capital in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.
In December 1994, CSC received a noncash capital contribution of $3,167,000
from Alliance in connection with the American Sentinel Insurance Company
("American Sentinel") transaction. See notes 9 and 10.
In 1994, Alliance contributed to CSC a $300,000 participation in a mortgage
loan to an affiliate.
As discussed in note 9, CSC acquired all of the outstanding shares of
Evergreen on December 31, 1993, the majority of which was through a capital
contribution from Alliance. Evergreen was formerly known as Summit Fidelity and
Surety Company. Evergreen is an Ohio domiciled property and casualty insurance
company.
CSC has issued six $500,000 bonds covering certain loans obtained by My
Lawyer Plan, Inc., an unrelated party, from the Detroit Fireman and Policeman's
Pension Fund maturing from 1996 and 2002. Collateral for these bonds includes
the personal indemnification of an indirect shareholder of Alliance.
(b) Commercial Surety Agency, Incorporated ("CSU")
CSU does business under the tradename Century Surety Underwriters. CSC paid
CSU $1,815,229, $2,606,719 and $1,854,000 in commission through an agency
agreement in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. That agreement generally
provides CSU a provisional commission of 42%, with certain potential profit
commissions as defined in the agreement. CSU is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Alliance.
At December 31, 1995 and 1994, CSC had outstanding premium balances
receivable from CSU of $613,402 and $496,341, respectively.
Effective April 1, 1994, Evergreen entered into an underwriting service
agreement with CSU, through which CSU is authorized to act on behalf of
Evergreen in performing various financial underwriting services. Evergreen paid
CSU $600,000 and $337,500 in fees under this agreement in 1995 and 1994,
respectively.
(c) COP, Incorporated ("COP")
COP handles the majority of surety claims and provides certain underwriting
services. An officer of COP serves as a director and officer of CSC.
CSC is charged by COP on a claim services performed basis. CSC paid COP
$180,839, $171,886 and $121,892 in fees during 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.
(d) Mortgage Loans
Loans secured by a first mortgage on real estate with interest rates
ranging from 9% to 10% aggregating $1,616,000 were outstanding to related and
affiliated parties at December 31, 1995 and 1994. The mortgage
F-48

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
loans are structured as interest only paid quarterly until May 1 and June 30,
1997 at which time the principal balance will be paid in full.
(e) Environmental and Commercial Insurance Agency, Inc. ("ECI")
CSC paid ECI $942,150, $1,337,267 and $1,127,140 in commission through an
agency agreement in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. That agreement provides
ECI a provisional commission of 21% to 22%, with certain potential profit
commissions as defined in the agreement. ECI is owned by immediate family
members of certain directors and an officer of CSC.
At December 31, 1995 and 1994, CSC had outstanding premium balances
receivable from ECI in the amount of $441,231 and $559,477, respectively.
8. STATUTORY SHAREHOLDER'S EQUITY AND DIVIDEND RESTRICTION
Ohio law limits the payment of dividends to the parent. The maximum
dividend that may be paid without prior approval of the Director of Insurance is
limited to the greater of the statutory net income of the preceding calendar
year or 10% of total statutory shareholder's equity as of the prior December 31.
As a result, the maximum dividend CSC may pay to Alliance in 1996 without prior
approval is approximately $2,200,000.
Dividends paid in 1995, 1994 and 1993 totaled $5,350,000 ($26,750 per
share), $1,000,000 ($5,000 per share) and $840,000 ($4,200 per share),
respectively. CSC obtained the approval of the Ohio Director of Insurance for
extraordinary dividends paid in 1995.
Reconciliations of CSC's statutory net income and capital and surplus, as
determined in accordance with statutory accounting principles, to the amounts
included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are as follows:
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
GAAP. Annual statements for CSC and Evergreen, and CHIC, filed with the Ohio
Department of Insurance and the Utah Department of Insurance, respectively, are
prepared on the basis of accounting practices prescribed or permitted by such
regulatory authorities. Prescribed statutory accounting practices include a
variety of publications of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners
("NAIC"), as well as state laws, regulations and general administrative rules.
Permitted statutory accounting practices encompass all accounting practices not
prescribed.

9. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW DISCLOSURES
On December 9, 1994, Evergreen, along with Alliance, entered into a
transaction with Sentinel Holdings, Inc. ("SHI") (a wholly owned subsidiary of
Pace American Group, Inc. ["Pace"]), American Sentinel (a wholly owned
subsidiary of SHI) and Republic Western, all unrelated parties. The result of
this transaction was the sale of all of American Sentinel's insurance operations
to Republic Western, settlement of Pace debt collateralized by American Sentinel
common stock, and Evergreen obtaining an agreed-upon amount of net assets of
American Sentinel. Evergreen recognized income of $807,306 related to their
participation in the transaction in the 1994 consolidated statement of income.
In conjunction with the American Sentinel transaction, Evergreen
participated in structuring the agreements and received fair value net assets of
American Sentinel totaling $6,091,306, comprised of highly liquid assets of
$6,227,201 and nonpolicy liabilities (not assumed by Republic Western) of
$185,895.
F-50
51
CENTURY SURETY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF ALLIANCE HOLDING CORPORATION)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
Additionally, Evergreen paid $5,284,000, primarily in settlement of Pace debt
collateralized by American Sentinel common stock, comprised of cash payments of
$1,550,000, Pace common stock previously owned by Evergreen of $500,000, and
debt incurred by Alliance of $3,167,000, plus $67,000 of acquisition costs. The
debt incurred by Alliance was recorded as a noncash capital contribution to
Evergreen in 1994 and was satisfied by Alliance as of December 31, 1995. As of
December 31, 1994, American Sentinel no longer exists as a separate corporate
entity. As discussed further in note 10, neither Evergreen nor other members of
the Alliance Companies have any future obligations with respect to the American
Sentinel insurance operations under the terms of the American Sentinel
transaction agreements.
On December 31, 1993, CSC acquired all of the outstanding shares of
Evergreen (see notes 1[b] and 7[a]) for a cash payment of $1,515,060
($1,610,000, net of $94,940 acquired from Evergreen). As part of this
transaction, CSC also received a noncash capital contribution from Alliance in
1993 of $3,859,836 as a result of Alliance's acquiring, in connection with CSC's
acquisition of Evergreen, certain Hampton Court Holdings, Inc. (Evergreen's
former parent) debt for which Evergreen shares had been pledged as collateral.
However, CSC and its subsidiaries are not a party to that debt or obligated to
service that debt, nor is the common stock of CSC or any of its subsidiaries
pledged as collateral for that debt.
10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In 1993, CSC entered into various agreements to lease office space from
unrelated parties. The minimum future rental payments under these leases at
December 31, 1995 were as follows:
1996.............................................. $264,398
1997.............................................. 264,398
1998.............................................. 220,330
--------
$749,126
========
United States Warranty Corporation ("USWC"), CHIC's former parent, enters
into agreements with various automobile and recreational vehicle dealers
("Dealers") whereby USWC agrees to administer the service contract agreements
issued by the Dealers to consumers. Prior to October 9, 1994, CHIC was
contingently liable should the Dealers and USWC become unable to meet their
obligations to the consumers under the service agreements. During 1994,
Evergreen replaced CHIC as the contingently liable party for Dealer service
contract agreements issued on or prior to October 9, 1994. The CSC Group's
management has estimated the Dealers' liability to range from $310,000 to
$510,000 at December 31, 1995. In the opinion of the CSC Group's management, the
effect to the CSC Group, if any, of ultimate settlement of such Dealers' service
contract agreements are not expected to be material to the CSC Group's
consolidated results of operations or financial position.
Various companies of the CSC Group are defendants in various lawsuits. In
the opinion of management, the effects, if any, of such lawsuits are not
expected to be material to the CSC Group's consolidated results of operations or
financial position.
The terms of the American Sentinel transaction agreements (see note 9)
include a contingent receivable by Evergreen from Republic Western of up to $2.9
million and a contingent note payable by Alliance to SHI, not to exceed $1.45
million. Each of these contingencies relate to the future development of
American Sentinel business acquired by Republic Western as part of the
transaction agreements and are to be settled in December 1996. The amount of the
$2.9 million receivable by Evergreen may be adjusted downward according to the
terms of the agreement, primarily in reference to development of losses of the
American Sentinel block of business acquired by Republic Western. The contingent
note payable is reduced dollar for dollar to the extent that less than $2.9
million is ultimately received by Evergreen from Republic Western. As
F-51
52
CENTURY SURETY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF ALLIANCE HOLDING CORPORATION)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
of December 31, 1995, CSC has not accrued any amounts related to these
contingent items in the accompanying consolidated financial statements due to
the uncertainty related to the future development of losses of the American
Sentinel block of business by Republic Western.
11. RISK-BASED CAPITAL
In December 1993, the NAIC adopted the property and casualty Risk-Based
Capital ("RBC") formula. This model act requires every property and casualty
insurer to calculate its total adjusted capital and RBC requirement, and
provides for an insurance commissioner to intervene if the insurer experiences
financial difficulty. The model act became law in Ohio, Century's and
Evergreen's state of domicile, in March 1996, and in Utah, CHIC's state of
domicile, in April 1996. The formula includes components for asset risk,
liability risk, interest rate exposure and other factors. Based on their
December 31, 1995 and 1994 statutory financial statements, CSC, Evergreen and
CHIC exceed all required RBC levels.
12. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On May 19, 1996 Alliance and Republic Environmental Systems, Inc. ("RESI")
signed a binding letter of intent and agreed to the terms of mergers (the
"Mergers") pursuant to which Alliance would receive (i) 14,760,000 shares of
RESI's common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("RESI Common Stock"), (ii)
warrants to acquire an additional 4,200,000 shares of RESI Common Stock at
exercise prices ranging from $2.625 to $3.875 per share and exercisable over two
to four year periods, and (iii) a promissory note in the principal amount of
$4.0 million in consideration for all of the outstanding common stock of
Alliance's wholly-owned subsidiaries, CSC and CSU.

CENTURY SURETY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF ALLIANCE HOLDING CORPORATION)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1996 AND DECEMBER 31, 1995
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30,
1996, include the accounts of Century Surety Company ("CSC") and subsidiaries
(the "CSC Group"). All significant intercompany transactions have been
eliminated.
The consolidated financial statements of the CSC Group included herein have
been prepared by the management of the CSC Group, without audit, pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the
opinion of the management of the CSC Group, the accompanying statements reflect
all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows for those periods indicated, and contain adequate
disclosure to make the information presented not misleading. Such adjustments
are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed in the notes to
consolidated financial statements. It is suggested that these consolidated
financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in the CSC Group's latest audited
financial statements.
Results of operations for any three month period are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations for a full year.
2. PROPOSED MERGER AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On May 19, 1996 Alliance and Republic Environmental Systems, Inc. ("RESI")
signed a binding letter of intent and agreed to the terms of mergers (the
"Mergers") pursuant to which Alliance would receive (i) 14,760,000 shares of
RESI's common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("RESI Common Stock"), (ii)
warrants to acquire an additional 4,200,000 shares of RESI Common Stock at
exercise prices ranging from $2.625 to $3.875 per share and exercisable over two
to four year periods, and (iii) a promissory note in the principal amount of
$4.0 million in consideration for all of the outstanding common stock of
Alliances' wholly-owned subsidiaries, CSC and CSU.
During July 1996, the Alliance Companies entered into an agreement to
acquire Environmental & Commercial Insurance Agency, Inc.; an agreement with
Gulf Insurance Company and Midwest Indemnity Corporation ("Midwest") for the
production, underwriting and reinsurance of contract surety and surety bond
business primarily to environmental businesses; and an option to purchase assets
of Midwest. These transactions are subject to the consummation of the Mergers.
3. INCOME ON AMERICAN SENTINEL TRANSACTION
In 1994, CSC entered into a transaction concerning the sale of the
insurance operations of American Sentinel to Republic Western. Republic Western
contracted to pay CSC's subsidiary, Evergreen, an amount in 1996 which was
indeterminable at that time and was based upon future loss development. The
transaction included a contingent receivable ranging from $0 to $2,900,000 due
Evergreen from Republic Western by December 1996. Based upon performance of the
insurance operations sold, it was determined that $1,150,000 should be
recognized as revenue during the first quarter of 1996. The income is reflected
in these statements. The balance of the receivable in the amount of $1,750,000
has not been included in income because it is subject to a reduction in its
entirety based on the performance, including loss development of the sold
operations, through December 1996.
4. DIVIDEND
CSC paid a $437,500 dividend to Alliance in the six-month period ended June
30, 1996.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
Commercial Surety Agency, Inc. ("CSU") is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Alliance Holding Corporation ("Alliance"). CSU is an insurance agency operating
in the Northeastern Ohio area doing business under the tradename Century Surety
Underwriters. Substantially all commissions are received from CSU's placement of
surety bonds with Century Surety Company ("CSC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
Alliance, and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "CSC Group").
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").
Use of Estimates
In preparing the financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management
is required to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ
significantly from those estimates.
Commission Revenue and Expense Recognition
Commission revenue is recognized in full as the CSC Group's surety bonds
are placed. CSU also may earn additional commissions dependent upon the
profitability of the business CSU places. The profitability commissions are
based upon the loss ratios of the bond placements, and are recorded as revenues
when notified by the CSC Group, which is approximately 12 months subsequent to
the calendar year-end in which the bond was placed.
Return commissions are recorded when the underlying insurance policy is
cancelled.
Commission expense is recognized in full as the CSC Group's surety bonds
are placed, and is paid to the sub-agent when the premiums from the insured are
collected. Commissions payable represents commissions due to the sub-agent on
premiums that have not been collected.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated
depreciation and amortization. CSU uses the straight-line and accelerated
methods of depreciation and amortization over the estimated useful lives of the
assets.
Management Fees from Affiliate
CSU recognizes management fees from affiliate income as the services are
performed.
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs represent costs capitalized related to the
original financing of CSU that are being amortized over the life of the loan.
F-65

COMMERCIAL SURETY AGENCY, INC.
(A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF ALLIANCE HOLDING CORPORATION)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
Federal Income Taxes
CSU files as part of a consolidated Federal income tax return of Alliance
and its subsidiaries. Pursuant to written agreements, CSU pays to or recovers
from Alliance the amount of Federal income tax calculated primarily on a
separate basis for itself.
CSU utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income tax.
Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between
the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in
which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities are not significant and no deferred tax assets or liabilities have
been recorded.
Statement of Cash Flows
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash includes only funds
held on deposit with banks.
2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Advances to Parent and Federal income tax recoverable from Parent represent
cash advanced to Alliance for working capital and income tax purposes. CSU has
not received any interest on these advances.
Note receivable -- related party consists of an unsecured demand note
receivable from the son of a former shareholder of Alliance bearing interest at
12%.
Note payable -- related party represents a 7.5% note, payable to a
shareholder of Alliance, in monthly installments of $694, including interest.
The note was repaid in 1995.
Commission revenues of $1,815,229, $2,606,719, and $1,854,000 for the years
ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, were earned from the CSC
Group.
Management fees from affiliate represents fees for performing various
financial underwriting services for a wholly-owned subsidiary of the CSC Group.
The management fee, in accordance with the terms of a written agreement, was
$50,000 per month in 1995, and $37,500 per month beginning April 1, 1994.

Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed in
the notes to the financial statements. It is suggested that these condensed

"Mergers") pursuant to which Alliance would receive (i) 14,760,000 shares of
RESI's common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("RESI Common Stock"), (ii)
