NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 (In thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share data) Note 4 - Commitments and Contingencies (a) Environmental Risks The Company is subject to liability for environmental damage that its solid waste facilities may cause, including damage to neighbouring landowners or residents, particularly as a result of the contamination of soil, groundwater or surface water, and especially drinking water, including damage resulting from conditions existing prior to the acquisition of such facilities by the Company. The Company may also be subject to liability for any off-site environmental contamination caused by pollutants or hazardous substances whose transportation, treatment or disposal was arranged by the Company or its predecessors. Any substantial liability for environmental damage incurred by the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. As at the date of these financial statements, the Company is not aware of any such environmental liabilities. (b) Legal Proceedings In the normal course of its business and as a result of the extensive governmental regulation of the solid waste industry, the Company may periodically become subject to various judicial and administrative proceedings involving federal, state, provincial or local agencies. In these proceedings, an agency may seek to impose fines on the Company or to revoke or deny renewal of an operating permit held by the Company. From time to time the Company may also be subject to actions brought by citizens' groups or adjacent landowners in connection with the permitting and licensing of landfills and transfer stations, or alleging environmental damage or violations of the permits and licenses pursuant to which the Company operates. In addition, the Company may become party to various claims and suits pending for alleged damages to persons and property, alleged violations of certain laws and alleged liabilities arising out of matters occurring during the normal operation of the waste management business. However, as at June 30, 1999, there was no current proceeding or litigation involving the Company that the Company believes will have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. - 9 - CAPITAL ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCE INC.

The composition of revenue has changed, with a higher portion being generated from residential business and from transfer stations. These components have increased as a result of the revenue mix of recent acquisitions and increased revenue from existing residential contracts. - 15 - Management's estimates of the components of changes in the Company's consolidated revenue are as follows: Three Months Ended June 30 1999 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Price 2.2% Volume 3.0 Acquisitions, net of divestitures 45.6 Foreign currency translation (1.2) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 49.6% ================================================================================ Total revenues in the quarter were $22.9 million compared to $15.3 million in the same quarter last year. The 49.6% increase was primarily as a result of acquisitions made since the second quarter 1998 and 5.2% internal growth. During the quarter ended June 30, 1999, 11 acquisitions were completed (9 in Canada and 2 in the United States) with annualized revenue of approximately $15 million. The most significant acquisitions in the current quarter include Premier Waste Systems Ltd. ("Premier"), located in Hamilton, Ontario, and Giglio's Disposal Service and certain related companies ("Giglio's"), located in Brampton, Ontario. Both of these operations provide commercial, roll off and transfer station services. In addition, Premier provides residential collection and lugger services, while Giglio's provide wood recycling services. In the same period of the prior year, 4 acquisitions were completed with annualized revenue of approximately $10.0 million. Revenue and growth in revenue from geographic components are as follows: ($thousands) Three Months Ended June 30 1998 1999 Growth Rates - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Canada $10,610 69.3% $16,503 72.0% 55.5% United States 4,711 30.7 6,424 28.0 36.4 - ------------------------------------------------------------------- $15,321 100.0% $22,927 100.0% 49.6% =================================================================== The growth in revenue in Canada exceeded the growth in revenue in the United States as more acquisitions were completed in Canada. Cost of operations Cost of operations include labor, fuel, equipment maintenance, tipping fees paid to third-party disposal facilities, worker's compensation and vehicle insurance, the cost of materials purchased to be recycled, subcontractor expense and local, state or provincial taxes. Cost of operations for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was $15,681 compared to $10,795 for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The 45.3% increase in cost of operations was attributable primarily to increases in our revenues described above. Cost of operations as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was 68.4%, compared with 70.5% in 1998. In the three months ended June 30, 1999, cost of operations decreased as a percentage of revenue primarily as a result of the synergies achieved from integrating acquisitions during the past 12 months, including further internalization of waste streams with the increase in the number of transfer stations. - 16 - Selling, general and administrative expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses include management, clerical, financial, accounting and administrative compensation and overhead costs associated with the marketing and sales force, professional services and community relations expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1999 were $2,946 compared to $1,984 for the period ended June 30, 1998. The 48.5% increase primarily relates to additional management, consulting and related costs to support the Company's level of growth and additional requirements related to the change to a public company. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased slightly to 12.8% for the three months ended June 30, 1999 from 13.0% for the period ended June 30, 1998 as a result of the larger revenue base. The Company expects these costs to increase in absolute dollars going forward as its public company costs and related infrastructure is established. This will include additional audit, communication and printing costs associated with its quarterly and annual filing requirements. Depreciation and amortization expense Depreciation and amortization expense includes depreciation of fixed assets over the estimated useful life of the assets using the straight-line method, the amortization of goodwill over 40 years and the amortization of other intangible assets over appropriate time periods. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was $1,758 compared to $1,371 for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The 28.2% increase was primarily due to acquisition activity over the past 12 months. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization expense decreased to 7.7% for the three months ended June 30, 1999 from 8.9% for the period ended June 30, 1998. The decrease primarily relates to the write-off of start-up and integration costs of $150 included in the prior year. Interest expense In the three months ended June 30, 1999, interest expense increased 96.5% to $1,501 from $764 for the period ended in 1998. The delays encountered in completing the IPO cost an estimated $63 in additional interest expense during the quarter. The overall increase in interest expense over the prior year, was primarily a result of an increase in the average level of outstanding debt due to borrowing to finance acquisition activity over the past 12 months. - 17 - Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 and 1999 The following table sets forth items in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as a percentage of revenues and the percentage changes in the dollar amounts of these items compared to the same period in the previous year: ($ thousands)

Approximately $15 million relates to acquisition activity in Ontario, with a focus primarily on tuck-in acquisitions, strengthening the Company's position in its existing markets. In the same period last year, 6 acquisitions were completed with annualized revenue of approximately $27.0 million. Revenue and growth in revenue from geographic components are as follows: ($thousands) Six Months Ended June 30 1998 1999 Growth Rates - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Canada $18,641 68.3% $28,619 70.1% 53.5% United States 8,645 31.7 12,184 29.9 40.9 - ---------------------------------------------------------------- $27,286 100.0% $40,803 100.0% 49.5% ================================================================ Cost of operations Cost of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was $27,693 compared to $18,940 for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The increase in cost of operations was attributable primarily to increases in our revenues described above. Cost of operations as a percentage of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1999 were 67.9%, compared with 69.4% for the six months ended June 30, 1998. In the six months ended June 30, 1999, cost of operations decreased as a percentage of revenue primarily as a result of synergies achieved from integrating acquisitions, including further internalization of waste steams with the increase in the number of transfer stations. The number of transfer stations has increased from 3 in June, 1998 to 10 at the end of June, 1999. Selling, general and administrative expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1999 were $5,284 compared to $3,771 for the period ended June 30, 1998. The increase was attributable to the expansion of the Company's operations, primarily through acquisition activity. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 12.9% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from 13.8% for the period ended June 30, 1998. The decrease was attributable to synergies achieved on integration of tuck-in acquisitions combined with the larger revenue base. - 19 - Depreciation and amortization expense Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was $3,291 compared to $2,486 for the six months ended June 30, 1998. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization expense decreased to 8.1% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from 9.1% for the period ended June 30, 1998. The decrease as a percentage of revenues relates to the write-off of start-up and integration costs of $300 included in the prior year. Interest expense In the six months ended June 30, 1999, interest expense increased 109% to $2,751 from $1,315 for the period ended in 1998. This increase was a result of a 101% increase in the average level of outstanding debt due to the acquisition activity over the past 12 months, combined with a 1.6% increase in the average cost of borrowing, with the balance related to amortization of deferred financing costs. Financial Condition As of December 31, 1998 and June 30, 1999, the Company's capital consisted of: ($thousands) December 31, 1998 June 30, 1999 Change ----------------- ------------- ------ Deferred items $ 5,251 5.9% $ 7,313 5.7% $ 2,062 Long-term debt 55,815 63.1 66,940 51.9 11,125 Redeemable stock 21,946 24.8 -- -- (21,946) Shareholders' equity 5,492 6.2 54,743 42.4 49,251 -------- ----- -------- ----- -------- $ 88,504 100.0% $128,996 100.0% $ 40,492 ======== ===== ======== ===== ======== The $11.1 million increase in long-term debt is primarily a result of the $39.0 million in borrowings since year end, including approximately $25.0 million to finance acquisition activity, $6.9 million related to the redemption of redeemable common stock. The remainder of the borrowings related to working capital financing, capital expenditure requirements and repayments of subordinated debt. In addition, capital lease obligations increased by $3.8 million since year end. These increases were partly offset by repayments of $34.5 million, including $30.7 million of the net proceeds from the IPO, which were used to repay a portion of the Company's outstanding indebtedness under its Credit Facility. The remainder of the change relates to the effect of foreign currency translation on long-term debt. The decrease in the redeemable stock relates to the combination of stock redeemed for cash with the remainder due to the conversion to Common Shares upon the completion of the IPO. Shareholders' equity increased by $49.2 million primarily as a result of $30.1 million in net after-tax proceeds from the IPO, $17.9 million on the conversion of redeemable stock and net earnings of $1.1 million. - 20 - Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's capital requirements include acquisitions, working capital increases and fixed asset replacement. The Company plans to meet capital needs through various financial sources, including internally generated funds, debt and equity financing. As of June 30, 1999, adjusted working capital was $4,428, excluding the current portion of long-term debt. The Company generally applies the cash generated from its operations that remains available after satisfying working capital and capital expenditure requirements to reduce indebtedness under the Credit Facility and to minimize cash balances. Working capital requirements are financed from internally generated funds and bank borrowings. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, net cash provided by operations was $2.5 million, compared to $2.0 million in the prior year. This increase was primarily generated by higher net income, partly offset by additional working capital requirements related to accounts receivable and income tax payments. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, net cash used in investing activities was $28.2 million. Most of this was used to fund the cash portion of the acquisitions of approximately $25.0 million. The remainder of the cash spending primarily relates to capital expenditures of $1.9 million (before capital lease additions of $3.4 million) and other assets. Capital expenditures for 1999 are expected to be approximately $8.0 million primarily for vehicle and equipment additions and replacements. The Company intends to fund capital expenditures principally through internally generated funds, capital leases and borrowings under the Credit Facility. The net cash used in investing increased $9.0 million from the $19.2 million used in investing activities in the prior year. This is largely due to the increased level of acquisition activity in the current year and deferred payments related to prior years' acquisitions. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, net cash provided by financing activities was $25.0 million. This was provided primarily by net cash proceeds from the IPO of $28.7 million, after deducting IPO costs paid to date, and net borrowings of $4.9 million. This was partly offset by cash used for the redemption of certain redeemable stock and other financing payments. This is a $5.0 million increase from the $20.0 million provided by financing activities in the prior year, primarily due to the increased requirements related to acquisition activity. The Company has a $70.0 million Credit Facility with a syndicate of banks led by Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association, as United States agent, Bank of America Canada as Canadian agent and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce as co-agent. As of June 30, 1999 approximately $50.4 million of our Credit Facility was outstanding. The Credit Facility is secured by all of the Company's assets, including the interest in the equity securities of the Company's subsidiaries. Of the $50.4 million outstanding, $21.2 million consisted of U.S. dollar loans bearing interest at 7.562% and $29.2 million consisted of Canadian dollar loans bearing interest at 7.227%. The Credit Facility will terminate in January 2002 at which time its entire principal amount will become due. The Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain fixed financial ratios and satisfy other predetermined requirements, such as a minimum net worth, a minimum interest coverage ratio, a maximum debt to EBITDA ratio and a maximum senior debt to EBITDA ratio and imposes annual restrictions on capital expenditures. The Credit Facility also restricts the Company's ability to incur or assume other debt for borrowed money or capital leases to fixed amounts. In addition, it requires the lenders' approval for acquisitions where the purchase price exceeds the greater of $10.0 million or 10% of the Company's total consolidated assets and for landfill acquisitions which expose the Company to liability for environmental risks in excess of a fixed amount. As of June 30, 1999, an aggregate of $17.3 million was unused and available under the Credit Facility, after taking into account letters of credit of $2.3 million. - 21 - Seasonality The Company's results of operations vary seasonally, with revenues typically lowest in the first quarter of the year, higher in the second and third quarters, and lower in the fourth quarter than in the third quarter. The Company believes this seasonality can be attributed to a number of factors. First, less solid waste is generated during the late fall, winter and early spring because of decreased construction and demolition. Second, some of the Company's operating costs are higher in the winter months because winter weather conditions slow waste collection activities, resulting in higher labor costs, and rain and snow increase the weight of collected waste, resulting in higher disposal costs, which are calculated on a per ton basis. Consequently, operating income is generally lower during the winter months. Finally, during the summer months, there are more tourists and part-time residents in some of the Company's service areas in Ontario, resulting in more residential and commercial collection business. Impact of Year 2000 Some computer systems or software used by many companies may be unable to distinguish 21st century dates from 20th century dates. As a result, beginning on January 1, 2000, computer systems and software used by many companies in a wide variety of industries will produce erroneous results or fail unless they have been modified or upgraded to process date information correctly. In late 1998, the Company conducted a preliminary inventory and issue assessment of the Year 2000 issue as it pertains to its computer systems, communications equipment and other potentially date-sensitive equipment to identify the systems and equipment, if any, that could be affected by the Year 2000 issue. The Company then retained an outside consultant to provide a review of this preliminary inventory. Other than for businesses acquired in the quarter ended June 30, 1999, the Company has identified non-compliant equipment and the potential impact of such equipment on its operations. The Company expects to complete any required systems conversions and replacement of currently owned date sensitive equipment by the end of the third quarter of 1999. This will consist primarily of office computer equipment. In the Spring of 1999, the Company began a process to determine the Year 2000 compliance status of potentially date sensitive pieces of equipment or computer systems by contacting vendors and manufacturers, and if necessary, having equipment tested. These inquiries are now substantially complete. At the same time, the Company began a process of identifying and contacting all key suppliers and customers to determine the status of their Year 2000 compliance programs. These inquiries are now substantially complete. The Company has obtained Year 2000 compliance certifications from manufacturers of its main computer systems and software. This includes the accounting, billing and truck routing systems. As the Company's operations rely primarily on mechanical systems such as trucks to collect solid waste, the Company does not expect operations to be significantly affected by the Year 2000 issue. In addition, the Company believes that if their disposal vendors encounter Year 2000 problems, they will convert to manual billing based on scale recordings until they resolve those issues. - 22 - Management believes that its own computer systems and software currently are Year 2000 ready. In assessing the Company's exposure to year 2000 issues, management believes the biggest risks lie with its banks, utilities, fuel suppliers, municipal customers and acquired businesses between the time acquired and the time systems are implemented. If these third parties do not complete their Year 2000 modifications on time, the Company could experience unanticipated expenses and delays, including delays in payment for services and delays in the Company's ability to conduct normal business operations. Management believes, however, that in the most reasonably likely worst case scenario, the effects of Year 2000 issues on the Company's operations would be brief and small relative to the Company's overall operations, particularly given the diversity of its supplier and customer bases. Costs to date associated with the Year 2000 issue are estimated at $40 which have been paid out of internally generated funds. The Company expects to expend no more than $80 in the future for this issue based on the results of the Company's Year 2000 review. The Company will utilize internally generated funds or borrowings under its Credit Facility to pay these costs. If the Company determines based on its inquiries that its vendors, banks and municipal customers will not be Year 2000 compliant, it will put in place a contingency plan to address operation and financial disruptions to the Company which could be caused by their non-compliance. This contingency plan will be developed by the end of the third quarter of 1999. The Company believes that it could revert to the use of manual systems, which would not have a material effect on the business in the short term. Although the Company has taken, and will continue to take, reasonable efforts to gather information to determine the readiness of our equipment and dependencies, there can be no assurance that reliable information will be offered or otherwise available. In addition, verification methods may not be reliable or fully implemented. Accordingly, not withstanding the foregoing efforts, there are no assurances that the Company is correct in its determination or belief that a product or a business dependency is Year 2000 ready. Other legal proceedings See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Subsequent Events On July 1, 1999, the Company completed the sale of 189,825 Common Shares to cover over-allotments in connection with the Initial Public Offering. The Company received approximately $1.9 million in net proceeds from the exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option. The proceeds from the sale of the over-allotment shares were used to repay a portion of the Company's outstanding indebtedness under its Senior Credit Facility. On July 30, 1999, the Company purchased Salish Disposal Ltd., a collection, recycling and transfer operation in Abbotsford, British Columbia. - 23 - ITEM 3.

Capital Environmental paid the expenses of the offering, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, for the selling shareholders who sold 260,000 common shares in the initial public offering. The underwriters for the initial public offering were Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, Raymond James & Associates, Inc. and Sanders Morne Mundy Inc. During the period covered by this report, we applied all of the net proceeds from the initial public offering to repay a portion of our outstanding indebtedness under our secured credit facility. Effective on and coincident with the completion of the initial public offering of our common shares, on June 8, 1999 all of the 800,000 issued Convertible Preference Shares were automatically converted into 1,107,750 common shares. Effective on and coincident with the completion of the initial public offering of our common shares, on June 8, 1999 all of the 400,000 issued Class "B" Special Stock were automatically converted into 484,645 common shares. By Certificate and Articles of Amendment dated June 8, 1999 all of the rights, privileges and restrictions attaching to the Convertible Preference Shares and Class "B" Special Stock were deleted and a new class of Preferred Shares issuable in series was created. We restated our Articles of Incorporation by Certificate of Restated Articles of Incorporation on June 8, 1999, to incorporate the amendments described above. - 25 - ITEM 4.
