PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
SPECIAL NOTICE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The Company is including the following cautionary statement in this Form
10-Q to make applicable and take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for any forward-looking
statement made by, or on behalf of, the Company. This 10-Q, press releases
issued by the Company, and certain information provided periodically in
writing and orally by the Company's designated officers and agents contain
statements which constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. The words expect, believe, goal, plan, intend,
estimate, and similar expressions and variations thereof used are intended to
specifically identify forward-looking statements. Where any such forward-
looking statement includes a statement of the assumptions or basis underlying
such forward-looking statement, the Company cautions that, while it believes
such assumptions or basis to be reasonable and makes them in good faith,
assumed facts or basis almost always vary from actual results, and the
differences between assumed facts or basis and actual results can be
material, depending on the circumstances. Where, in any forward-looking
statement, the Company, or its management, expresses an expectation or belief
as to future results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith
and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that
the statement of expectation or belief will result or be achieved or
accomplished.
Item 1. Financial Statements.
OP-TECH ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC.
AND WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they
do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, quarterly results
include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments)
that the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of such
information for interim periods.
The unaudited financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its two wholly-owned subsidiaries; OP-TECH Environmental Services, Ltd, an
inactive Canadian company, and OP-TECH AVIX, Inc., a company formed in
January 2002 for purposes of pursuing and engaging in diversified lines of
business. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated in consolidation.
6.
2. Revenue Recognition
The timing of revenues is dependent on the Company's backlog, contract
awards, and the performance requirements of each contract. The Company's
revenues are also affected by the timing of its clients planned remediation
work as well as the timing of unplanned emergency spills. Historically,
planned remediation work generally increases during the third and fourth
quarters. Although the Company believes that the historical trend in
quarterly revenues for the third and fourth quarters of each year are
generally higher than the first and second quarters, there can be no
assurance that this will occur in future periods. Accordingly, quarterly or
other interim results should not be considered indicative of results to be
expected for any quarter or for the full year.
3. Related Party Transactions
The Company provided $64,407 and $18,292 of remediation, sub-contract
support and project services to a shareholder and its affiliates for the six
months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Services provided were at
competitive rates, which were bid on a project-by-project basis.
The Company purchases subcontract labor services from St. Lawrence
Industrial Services, Inc., which is owned by a director of the Company. The
costs for these services amounted to approximately $376,000 and $334,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The costs for
these services were comparable to those which would have been charged by a
provider of labor services with no relationship to the Company.
4. Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share includes the
potentially dilutive effect of common stock equivalents.
Warrants issued to a financial advisor in 1998 to purchase 302,500 shares
of common stock at $1.65 per share expired in March 2001.
Warrants were issued to a financial advisor in May 2002 to purchase
480,000 shares of common stock at $0.066 per share, expiring in May 2007.
7.
In May 2002, a private offering of the Company's common stock was made
under Regulation D, Rule 506 of the Securities and Exchange Commission Act of
1933, as amended. Form D, Notice of sale of securities pursuant to
regulation D, was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
June 13, 2002. The principal underwriter of the offering was Benchmark-
Pellinore. The offering resulted in the sale of 8,000,000 shares of the
Company's common stock at $0.06 per share to twenty-one accredited investors.
Gross proceeds from the offering were $480,000. Expenses and fees, including
an underwriting commission paid to Benchmark-Pellinore of $48,000, aggregated
approximately $82,000. Net proceeds of the offering were approximately
$398,000. Management plans to use the proceeds from the offering to buy back
into treasury 4,385,170 shares of common stock from the Company's two largest
shareholders.
5. Subsequent Event
On August 2, 2002, the Company purchased into treasury 4,385,170 shares of
its common stock from the Company's two largest shareholders. 2,811,070
shares were purchased from M&T Bank for $.10 per share, or $281,107.
1,574,100 shares were purchased from O'Brien & Gere Limited for $.10 per
share, or $157,410.
6. Casualty Gain
On January 21, 2001, a fire destroyed the offices of the Massena, NY
branch. As of June 30, 2001, insurance proceeds had been received in the
amount of $308,167 related to the insured replacement value of the property
that was destroyed. The proceeds received were used to replace the destroyed
building and contents at substantially the same cost. A loss on disposal of
assets, representing the net book value of all the destroyed assets as of the
date of the fire, was recorded in the amount of $6,286. Accordingly, the
Company realized a casualty gain of $301,881 in the second quarter of 2001 as
a result of the proceeds collected.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At June 30, 2002, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $24,726 as
compared to $51,818 at December 31, 2001. The Company voluntarily applies
excess cash in the Company's operating account to pay down the Company's
revolving line of credit.
At June 30, 2002, the Company had working capital of $1,939,118 compared
to $1,362,528 at December 31, 2001, with a current ratio of 1.87 to 1 at June
30, 2002 and 1.59 to 1 at December 31, 2001.
For the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company's net cash used in
operations was $601,397 compared to net cash provided by operations of $36,659
during the six months ended June 30, 2001. The cash used in operations for
the six months ended June 30, 2002 was primarily a result of a net increase
in accounts receivable. A specific, past-due, account receivable at June 30,
2002, in the amount of $537,192, was received on July 12, 2002.
The Company's net cash used in investing activities of $226,665 during the
first three months of the year was attributable to the purchase of various
field and office equipment.
Cash provided by financing activities was $800,970, which was primarily
due to proceeds from the issuance of common stock and a net increase in the
Company's line of credit as a result of the cash used in operating activities.
As of June 30, 2002, the Company had a loan agreement that provided for
borrowings up to $2,200,000 on a revolving basis, collateralized by all
accounts receivable, inventory and equipment now owned or acquired later.
The loan is payable on July 31, 2003, bears interest at a rate of prime plus
1.25 percent, is subject to certain restrictive financial covenants, and is
subject to default if there is a material adverse change in the financial or
economic condition of the Company. As of June 30, 2002, borrowing against
the revolving loan aggregated $1,561,500.
During the first six months of 2002, all principal payments on the
Company's debt were made within payment terms.
The Company expects, based on its operating results and the continued
availability of its line of credit, that it will be able to meet obligations
as they come due.
9.
THE MASSENA PORT FACILITY
The Massena Port Facility is a former oil tank farm that is located on the
St. Lawrence River in Massena, NY. The property is improved with several
buildings and a deep water docking facility for large ocean going ships.
Currently, the Company uses the property for its Massena branch office
headquarters, equipment storage and its Aqueous Treatment/360 Facility. The
property has been held for sale since 1996, during which time the carrying
value has been reduced from $1,900,000 to $480,000.
During the third quarter of 2001, the Company recognized an additional
provision for impairment of long-lived assets of $300,000 to adjust the
carrying value of the Massena Port Facility to the estimated fair value, less
cost of disposal, of $480,000. Management's estimation of fair value is
based upon an evaluation of existing facts and circumstances, including
current real estate market conditions.
10.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
BILLINGS
The Company's project billings for the second quarter of 2002 increased 8%
to $3,644,734 from $3,378,960 for the second quarter of 2001. For the six-
month period ended June 30, 2001 the Company's billings have increased 8% to
$6,725,098 from $6,248,529 for the same period in 2000.
When comparing the first six months of 2002 to the same period in 2001,
the overall increase in billings is due to several factors. Revenues from
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation ("NYSDEC")
remediation projects increased approximately $1,700,000. The increased
revenue from NYSDEC remediation projects is primarily due to a single large
project in the Plattsburgh, NY area in the first quarter and single large
projects in the Massena, NY and Albany, NY areas in the second quarter.
This increase was partially offset by decreases in revenue from asbestos
remediation projects totaling approximately $500,000 and spill response,
transportation and disposal projects totaling approximately $525,000. As
part of the Company's plan to refocus its efforts on lines of work that are
more profitable, the Company is being more selective in bidding on asbestos
remediation projects.
PROJECT COSTS AND GROSS MARGIN
Project costs for the second quarter of 2002 increased 12% to $2,678,750
from $2,391,552 for the same period in 2001. Project costs as a percentage
of revenues were 74% and 71% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and
2001, respectively. Gross margin for the second quarter of 2002 decreased to
26% from 29% for the same period in 2001.
For the six month period ended June 30, 2002, project costs increased 11%
to $4,840,387 from $4,366,195 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Project
costs as a percentage of revenues were 72% and 70% for the six months ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Gross margin for the six months ended
June 30, 2002 decreased to 28% from 30% for the same period in 2001.
As a result of increased billings, project costs also increased. The
slight decrease in the gross margin is due to the unusually large volume of
excavation projects in the first half of the year. Excavation projects
typically produce a lower gross margin as a result of trucking and landfill
expenses which are treated as a pass-through expense at a specified mark-up.
11.
SELLING, GENERAL, ADMINISTRATIVE AND INTEREST EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") for the quarter
ended June 30, 2002 increased 3% to $789,671 from $767,229 for the same
period in 2001. For the six month period ended June 30, 2002, SG&A increased
5% to $1,672,368 from $1,586,722 for the same period in 2001. SG&A as a
percentage of revenues was 25% for each of the six months ended June 30, 2000.
When comparing the first six months of 2002 to the same period in 2001,
the overall increase in SG&A is due primarily to the commencement of
operations of OP-TECH AVIX, Inc ("AVIX") in January 2002. AVIX accounted for
SG&A of approximately $83,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Based
on the categories of SG&A as illustrated on the Consolidated Statements of
Operations on page 4, AVIX contributed the following amounts:
Payroll Expenses and related payroll taxes and benefits $ 56,138
Depreciation 619
Occupancy 3,292
Professional Services 15,296
Office Expense 5,563
Other Expenses, net 2,504
---------
$ 83,412
=========
SG&A, net of AVIX, as a percentage of revenues decreased to 24% for the
six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to 25% for the same period in 2001.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002 decreased 37% to
$74,017 from $117,234 for the same period in 2001. The decrease in interest
expense was primarily due to a decrease in the average interest rate.
CASUALTY GAIN
On January 21, 2001, a fire destroyed the offices of the Massena, NY
branch. As of June 30, 2001, insurance proceeds had been received in the
amount of $308,167 related to the insured replacement value of the property
that was destroyed. The proceeds received were used to replace the destroyed
building and contents at substantially the same cost. A loss on disposal of
assets, representing the net book value of all the destroyed assets as of the
date of the fire, was recorded in the amount of $6,286. Accordingly, the
Company realized a casualty gain of $301,881 in the second quarter of 2001 as
a result of the proceeds collected.
12.
NET INCOME
The net income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 was
$140,171, or $0.01 per share basic and diluted, and $472,956 (includes
$301,881 casualty gain), or $0.04 per share basic and diluted, respectively.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
The Company's future payments related to its material debt and other
certain contractual obligations and the timing of those payments are set

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Management has identified the following critical accounting policies that
affect the Company's more significant judgments and estimates used in the
preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements. The
preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires the Company's management to make estimates and judgments that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and
related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going
basis, management evaluates those estimates, including those related to
assets held for sale, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts
and contingencies and litigation. The Company states these accounting
policies in the notes to the consolidated financial statements and in
relevant sections in this discussion and analysis. These estimates are based
on the information that is currently available to the Company and on various
other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the
circumstances. Actual results could vary from those estimates.
The Company believes that the following critical accounting policies
affect significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its
consolidated financial statements:
Contracts are predominately short-term in nature (less than three months)
and revenue is recognized as costs are incurred and billed. Income on long-
term fixed-priced contracts greater than three months is recognized on the
percentage-of-completion method. Project costs are generally billed in the
month they are incurred and are shown as current assets. Revenues recognized
in excess of amounts billed are recorded as an asset. In the event interim
billings exceed costs and estimated profit, the net amount of deferred
revenue is shown as a current liability. Estimated losses are recorded in
full when identified.
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated
losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required
payments, which results in bad debt expense. Management determines the
adequacy of this allowance by continually evaluating individual customer
receivables, considering the customer's financial condition, credit history
and current economic conditions. If the financial condition of customers
were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make
payments, additional allowances may be required.
