PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
PDG Environmental, Inc., the registrant, ("we" or the "Company") are a holding
company which, through our wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, provides
environmental and specialty contracting services including asbestos and lead
abatement, insulation, microbial remediation, disaster response, loss mitigation
and reconstruction, demolition and related services throughout the United
States. We were incorporated in Delaware on February 9, 1987.
We have three operating subsidiaries; Project Development Group, Inc, which is
incorporated in Pennsylvania; PDG, Inc., which is incorporated in Pennsylvania
and Enviro-Tech Abatement Services Co. which is incorporated in North Carolina.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2003, we formed IAQ Training Institute ("IAQTI"),
a 50/50 joint venture, to provide training in mold awareness and remediation to
workers in the indoor air quality and microbial remediation industry.
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
Historically, we have derived the majority of our revenues from the abatement of
asbestos. In recent years, we have broadened our offering of services to include
a number of complementary services which utilize our existing infrastructure and
personnel. The following is a discussion of each of the major services we
provide.
ASBESTOS ABATEMENT
The asbestos abatement industry developed due to increased public awareness in
the early 1970's of the health risks associated with asbestos, which was
extensively used in building construction.
Asbestos, which is a fibrous mineral found in rock formations throughout the
world, was used extensively in a wide variety of construction-related products
as a fire retardant and insulating material in residential, commercial and
industrial properties. During the period from approximately 1910 to 1973,
asbestos was commonly used as a construction material in structural steel
fireproofing, as thermal insulation on pipes and mechanical equipment and as an
acoustical insulation material. Asbestos was also used as a component in a
variety of building materials (such as plaster, drywall, mortar and building
block) and in caulking, tile adhesives, paint, roofing felts, floor tile and
other surfacing materials. Most structures built before 1973 contain asbestos
containing materials ("ACM") in some form and surveys conducted by the U.S.
federal government have estimated that 31,000 schools and 733,000 public and
commercial buildings contain friable ACM. In addition, many more industrial
facilities are known to contain other forms of asbestos.
In the early 1970's, it became publicly recognized that inhalation or ingestion
of asbestos fibers was a direct cause of certain diseases, including asbestosis
(a debilitating pulmonary disease), lung cancer, mesothelioma (a cancer of the
abdominal and lung lining) and other diseases. Friable ACM were designated as a
potential health hazard because these materials can produce microscopic fibers
and become airborne when disturbed.
The Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") first banned the use of asbestos
as a construction material in 1973 and the federal government subsequently
banned the use of asbestos in other building materials as well.
During the 1980's the asbestos abatement industry grew rapidly due to increasing
public awareness and concern over health hazards associated with ACM,
legislative action mandating safety standards and requiring abatement in certain
circumstances, and economic pressures on building owners seeking to satisfy the
requirements of financial institutions, insurers and tenants. During the last
ten years the industry has remained stable with revenues tracking the general
economic cycle.
We have experience in all types of asbestos abatement including removal and
disposal, enclosure and encapsulation. Asbestos abatement projects have been
performed in commercial buildings, government and institutional buildings,
schools, hospitals and industrial facilities for both the public and private
sector. Asbestos abatement work is completed in accordance with EPA,
Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA"), state and local
regulations governing asbestos abatement operations, disposal and air monitoring
requirements.
1
LEAD ABATEMENT
During the 1990's, the lead abatement industry developed due to increased public
awareness of the dangers associated with lead poisoning. While lead poisoning
takes many forms, the most serious and troubling in the United States is the
danger posed to children and infants from the ingestion of lead, primarily in
the form of paint chips containing lead. Ingestion of lead has been proven to
reduce mental capacities and is especially detrimental to children in the early
stages of development.
The low income and public housing markets, due to the age of the structures,
contain a significant amount of lead paint that is flaking and peeling. In
response to this problem many municipal and state governments have developed
programs to remediate the structures. We have experience in utilizing various
methods to remove lead-based paint that is adhered to surfaces and the removal
of loose and flaking lead-based paint and dust or lead-contaminated soil.
Removal methods include chemical stripping, wet scraping, needle gun,
high-pressure water/vacuum and abrasive blasting. HEPA vacuums are utilized for
dust and debris clean up. Analysis of removed material, as required, is
performed to assure proper disposal of lead- contaminated waste and debris
generated from removal operations. We complete such lead removal work in
accordance with EPA, OSHA, state and local regulations governing lead removal
operations, disposal and air monitoring requirements.
INSULATION
The insulation industry is involved in the installation of thermal insulation
for piping, tanks, boilers and other systems in industrial, commercial and
institutional facilities for both new construction and retrofits. In connection
with such installation projects, many applications require the removal of old
asbestos containing insulation prior to the retrofits.
Our capabilities include the installation of new thermal insulation,
fireproofing and firestopping. Our experience includes piping systems, HVAC,
process distribution systems and tanks for commercial, industrial, power
generation and petrochemical facilities. We are also experienced with cryogenic
systems insulation as well as high-pressure boilers and steam pipe insulation
for new installations or repair and renovation to existing systems.
INDOOR AIR QUALITY / MICROBIAL REMEDIATION
Health professionals have been aware of the adverse health effects of exposure
to mold for decades, but the issue has gained increased public awareness in
recent years. Studies indicate that 50% of all homes contain mold and that the
increase in asthma cases over the past 20 years can be linked to mold exposure.
We provide mold remediation services in both commercial and residential
structures. Such services include decontamination, application of biocides and
sealant, removal of building systems (drywall, carpet, etc.), and disposal of
building furnishings. We have experience in remediation, detailing methods and
performing microbial (mold, fungus, etc.) abatement in commercial, residential,
educational, medical and industrial facilities.
EMERGENCY RESPONSE/LOSS MITIGATION/RECONSTRUCTION
The emergency response/restoration industry responds to natural and man-made
disasters including fires, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, and sudden water
intrusions among events. Services provided include emergency response, loss
mitigation, structural drying, restoration and reconstruction for both buildings
and infrastructure. We have experience and have provided services in all areas
of the emergency response/restoration industry.
DEMOLITION
Similar to the insulation industry, the demolition industry has a wide range of
applications and services. We have currently limited our services to the
performance of selective interior and structural demolition. Our experience
includes interior and structural demolition in occupied buildings at times
utilizing specially equipped air filtration devices to minimize airborne dust
emissions in occupied areas.
This work has been a natural progression from asbestos abatement work, which
often requires significant interior demolition to access asbestos material for
removal.
MOLD REMEDIATION TRAINING
In the first quarter of fiscal 2003, we formed IAQ Training Institute ("IAQ
Venture"), a 50/50 joint venture, to provide training in mold awareness and
remediation. IAQ Venture is one of five companies nationwide that has been
endorsed by the American
2
Indoor Air Quality Association that provides this training. Course offerings
include a Certified Mold Remediator ("CMR") certificate program and worker
training for mold remediaton.
OPERATIONS
Our operating subsidiaries provide services on a project contract basis.
Individual projects are competitively bid, although most contracts with private
owners are ultimately negotiated. The majority of contracts undertaken are on a
fixed price basis. The length of the contracts is typically less than one year;
however, larger projects may require two or more years to complete.
Larger and longer-term contracts are billed on a progress basis (usually
monthly) in accordance with the terms of the contract. Smaller and shorter
duration contracts are billed upon completion. Larger and longer-term contracts,
which are billed on progress basis, may contain a provision for retainage
whereby a portion of each billing (10% in many cases) is held by the client
until the completion of the contract or until certain contractually defined
milestones are met.
We monitor contracts by assigning responsibility for each contract to a project
manager who coordinates the project until its completion. The contracted work is
performed by an appropriately licensed labor force in accordance with regulatory
requirements, contract specifications and our written operating procedures which
describes worker safety and protection procedures, air monitoring protocols and
abatement methods.
Our operations are nationwide. The majority of our national marketing efforts
are performed by members of senior management located in the headquarters
facility in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Regional marketing and project operations
are also conducted through branch offices located in Paramus, New Jersey
(serving the New York City metropolitan area); Hazleton and Export,
Pennsylvania; Fort Lauderdale and Tampa, Florida; Houston, Texas; Los Angeles,
California, Phoenix, Arizona; Portland, Oregon; Seattle, Washington and Rock
Hill, South Carolina. Since our subsidiaries are able to perform work throughout
the year, the business is not considered seasonal in nature. However, our
revenue is affected by the timing and performance of large contracts.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
We intend to acquire restoration/mold remediation companies that service
metropolitan population centers or regions with high population densities. We
primarily evaluate restoration/ mold remediation companies located in markets
that we currently service for asbestos abatement but in certain circumstances we
may consider an opportunistic acquisition in markets that we do not currently
service. Acquisitions in markets that are currently serviced would be integrated
into the existing operations, which we believe will allow us to achieve greater
economies of scale. We believe that we would be able to derive operational
efficiencies from such acquisitions due to the presence of our existing
management structure, employee base and customer contacts.
SUPPLIERS AND CUSTOMERS
We purchase the equipment and supplies used in our business from a number of
suppliers. Two of these suppliers accounted for 52% and 16%, respectively, of
our purchases in fiscal 2005. The items are purchased from the vendor's
available stock and are not covered by a formalized agreement.
In fiscal 2005, we estimate that approximately 64% of our operating
subsidiaries' revenues were derived from private sector clients, 22% from
government contracts and 14% from public institutions. Due to the nature of our
business, which involves large contracts that are often completed within one
year, customers that account for a significant portion of revenue in one year
may represent an immaterial portion of revenue in subsequent years. For fiscal
years 2005, 2004 and 2003 no one customer accounted for more than 10% of our
consolidated revenues for that year.
LICENSES
We are licensed and/or certified in all jurisdictions where required in order to
conduct our operations. In addition, certain management and staff members are
licensed and/or certified by various governmental agencies and professional
organizations.
INSURANCE AND BONDS
We maintain liability insurance for claims arising from our business. The policy
insures against both property damage and bodily injury arising from the
contracting activities of our operating subsidiaries. Higher policy limits are
available for individual
3
projects. Obtaining adequate insurance is a problem faced by us and the
environmental industry as a whole due to the limited number of insurers and the
increasing cost of coverage. To the best of our knowledge, we currently have
insurance sufficient to satisfy regulatory and customer requirements.
We also provide worker's compensation insurance, at statutory limits, which
covers all of our employees of our operating subsidiaries. We believe that we
are fully covered by workers' compensation insurance with respect to any claims
that may be made by current and former employees relating to any of our
operations. The amount of workers' compensation insurance maintained varies from
state to state in which our business operates, but is generally greater than the
maximum recovery limits established by law and is not subject to any aggregate
policy limits.
In line with industry practice, we are often required to provide payment and
performance bonds to customers under fixed-price contracts. These bonds
indemnify the customer should we fail to perform our obligations under the
contract. If a bond is required for a particular project and we are unable to
obtain an appropriate bond, we may not be able to pursue that project. We have a
bonding facility but, as is typically the case, the issuance of bonds under that
facility is at the surety's sole discretion. The recent difficult insurance
market combined with large losses experienced by sureties in the aftermath of
Enron and other financial scandals, as well as a result of the September 11,
2001 terrorist attacks have made bond markets, in general, unpredictable and
chaotic. Bonds may be more difficult to obtain in the future or they may only be
available at significant additional cost.
COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS
The environmental and specialty contractor industries are highly competitive and
fragmented and include both small firms and large diversified firms, which have
the financial, technical and marketing capabilities to compete on a national
level. The industries are not dominated by any one firm. We principally compete
on the basis of competitive pricing, a reputation for quality and safety, and
the ability to obtain the appropriate level of insurance and bonding.
REGULATORY MATTERS
The environmental remediation industry is generally subject to extensive
federal, state and local regulations, including the EPA's Clean Air Act and OSHA
requirements. As outlined below, these agencies have mandated procedures for
monitoring and handling asbestos and lead containing material during abatement
projects and the transportation and disposal of ACM and lead following removal.
Current EPA regulations establish procedures for controlling the emission of
asbestos fibers into the environment during removal, transportation or disposal
of ACM. The EPA also has notification requirements before removal operations can
begin. Many state authorities and local jurisdictions have implemented similar
programs governing removal, handling and disposal of ACM.
The health and safety of personnel involved in the removal of asbestos and lead
are protected by OSHA regulations which specify allowable airborne exposure
standards for asbestos workers and allowable blood levels for lead workers,
engineering controls, work area practices, supervision, training, medical
surveillance and decontamination practices for worker protection.
We believe we are in compliance with all of the federal, state and local
statutes and regulations that affect our asbestos and lead abatement business.
The other segments of the environmental and specialty contractor industry that
we operate in are not currently as regulated as the asbestos and lead abatement
industries.
BACKLOG
We had a backlog of orders totaling approximately $38.8 million and $36.5
million at January 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The backlog at January 31,
2005 consisted of $25.7 million of uncompleted work on fixed fee contracts and
an estimated $13.1 million of work to be completed on time and materials or unit
price contracts. The backlog at January 31, 2004 consisted of $24.9 million of
uncompleted work on fixed fee contracts and an estimated $11.6 million of work
to be completed on time and materials or unit price contracts. From time to time
we enter into fixed-price subcontracts, which tends to reduce our risk on
fixed-price contracts.
The backlog represents the portion of contracts, which remain to be completed at
a given point in time. As these contracts are completed, the backlog will be
reduced and a compensating amount of revenue will be recognized. We are
currently working on nearly all of the contracts in our January 31, 2005 backlog
and anticipate that approximately 76.5% of this backlog will be
4
completed and realized as revenue by January 31, 2006 in accordance with the
terms of the applicable contracts between us and the owners of these properties.
The remaining 23.5% are expected to be completed and realized as revenue
subsequent to January 31, 2006. Approximately 76% of the backlog existing at
January 31, 2004 was completed and recognized as revenue by January 31, 2005
with 21% expected to be completed and realized as revenue during the year ending
January 31, 2006 and 3% thereafter.
EMPLOYEES
As of January 31, 2005, we employed approximately 110 employees consisting of
senior management and support staff employees among our headquarters in
Pittsburgh and branch offices located in Paramus, NJ; Hazleton, PA; Export, PA;
Fort Lauderdale, FL; Tampa, FL; Los Angeles, CA; Houston, TX; Phoenix, AZ;
Portland, OR; Seattle, WA and Rock Hill, SC. The staff employees include
accounting, administrative, sales and clerical personnel as well as project
managers and field supervisors. We also employ laborers for field operations
based upon specific projects; therefore, the precise number varies based upon
the projects in progress. Approximately 400-500 laborers and supervisors are
employed on a steady basis, with casual labor hired on an as-needed basis to
supplement the work force.
A portion of the field laborers who provide services to us are represented by a
number of different unions. In many cases, we are a member of a multi-employer
plan. Management considers its employee labor relations to be good.
WEB SITE POSTINGS
Our annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission are available to the public free of
charge through its website as soon as reasonably practicable after making such
filings. Our website can be accessed at the following address: www.pdge.com. The
information found on our website or that may be accessed through our website is
not part of this report and is not incorporated herein by this reference.
RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information included in this Annual Report on Form
10-K, any of the following risks could materially adversely affect our business,
operating results and financial condition:
THE TIMING OF CASH FLOW IS DIFFICULT TO PREDICT, AND ANY SIGNIFICANT DELAY IN
THE CONTRACT CYCLE COULD MATERIALLY IMPAIR OUR CASH FLOW.
The timing of our cash receipts from accounts receivable is unpredictable. In
many cases we are a subcontractor to the general contractor on the project and,
therefore, we often must collect outstanding accounts receivable from the
general contractor, which, in turn, must collect from the customer. As a result,
we are dependent upon the timing and success of the general contractor in
collecting accounts receivable as well as the credit worthiness of the general
contractor and the customer. Additionally, many of our contracts provide for
retention of a portion of our billings until the project has been accepted by
the owner. As our activities are usually early in the contract cycle, if we are
acting as a subcontractor, the retainage (typically 5% to 10% of the contract
value) may be held until the project is complete. This time frame may be many
months after our completion of our portion of the contract. This delay further
subjects us to the credit risk associated with the general contractor and the
owner of the project. We can and often do avail ourselves of lien rights and
other security common to the construction industry to offset the aforementioned
credit risk. Unexpected delays in receiving amounts due from customers can put a
strain on our cash availability and cause us to delay payments to vendors and
subcontractors. Additionally, even if we have successfully completed our work on
a project and there are no disputes regarding our performance of such work, any
disputes between the general contractor and the owner regarding other aspects of
the completed projects by entities other than us could result in further delays,
or could prevent, payment for our work.
WE ARE DEPENDENT UPON OUR LINE OF CREDIT TO FINANCE OPERATIONS, AND THE FAILURE
TO MAINTAIN THE LINE OF CREDIT WOULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR
OPERATIONS.
We currently have an $8.0 million line of credit from our financial institution
Sky Bank. We rely significantly upon our line of credit in order to operate our
business. To secure the line of credit, Mr. Regan, our Chief Executive Officer,
has provided a limited personal guarantee to the bank. The line of credit and
term loan is secured by a "blanket" security interest in the assets of the
Company and a mortgage on the real estate owned by the Company. The first $1.5
million of this line of credit expires on June 30, 2005 with the remaining $6.5
million expiring on June 6, 2006. We expect that we will be able to maintain our
existing line of credit (or to obtain replacement or additional financing) when
it expires on June 6, 2006 or becomes fully utilized. However, there can be no
assurance that such additional financing will be obtainable on favorable terms,
if at all. In addition, Mr. Regan is under no obligation to provide personal
guarantees for additional financing in the future. An inability
5
to maintain an adequate line of credit could result in limitations on our
ability to bid for new or renew existing contracts, which could have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
IF WE WERE UNABLE TO MAINTAIN ADEQUATE INSURANCE AND SUFFICIENT BONDING
CAPACITY, OUR OPERATIONS WOULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY IMPAIRED.
We maintain an insurance and bonding program consistent with our operational
needs; however, there have been events in the national economy, which have
adversely affected the major insurance and surety companies. This has resulted
in a tightening of the insurance and bonding markets, which has resulted in the
costs increasing and the availability of certain types of insurance and surety
capacity either decreasing or becoming non-existent. We do not know whether our
current insurance and bonding programs will be sufficient to satisfy our needs
in the future. To secure the surety bonds, Mr. Regan, our Chief Executive
Officer, has provided a limited personal guarantee to our surety. Mr. Regan is
under no obligation to provide such guarantee in the future. If such programs
are insufficient or if Mr. Regan elects not to provide such guarantee in the
future, we may be unable to secure and perform contracts, which would
substantially impair our ability to operate our business.
Additionally, we may incur liabilities that may not be covered by insurance
policies, or, if covered, the dollar amount of such liabilities may exceed our
policy limits. Such claims could also make it more difficult for us to obtain
adequate insurance coverage in the future at a reasonable cost. A partially or
completely uninsured claim, if successful and of significant magnitude, could
cause us to suffer a significant loss and reduce cash available for our
operations.
WE DEPEND UPON A FEW KEY EMPLOYEES AND THE LOSS OF THESE EMPLOYEES WOULD
SEVERELY IMPACT US.
Our success is dependent upon the efforts of our senior management and staff.
None of our executives are legally bound to remain employed for any specific
term except for our Chief Executive Officer, John Regan, who has a three-year
employment agreement. If key individuals leave us, we could be adversely
affected if suitable replacement personnel are not quickly recruited. Our future
success depends on our ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate
qualified personnel. There is competition for qualified personnel and in some
markets there is a shortage of qualified personnel in the businesses in which we
operate. If we are unable to attract or retain one or more of our key employees,
the development and growth of our business could be adversely affected.
A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF OUR CONTRACTS ARE AWARDED VIA COMPETITIVE BID AND ARE
PRICED AS FIXED FEES, AND A FAILURE TO ACCURATELY ESTIMATE THE COST OF SUCH WORK
COULD RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL LOSSES.
A significant amount of our business is performed on a contract basis as a
result of competitive bidding and is priced at fixed fees. We must estimate the
costs involved with the applicable job prior to submitting a bid and, therefore,
if awarded the job bear the risk if actual costs exceed the estimated costs.
Failure to make accurate estimates could result in losses being incurred by
thereby reducing or eliminating profit and us for a specific quarter or fiscal
year.
THE ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION BUSINESS IS SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT GOVERNMENT
REGULATIONS, AND THE FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY SUCH REGULATIONS COULD RESULT IN
FINES OR INJUNCTIONS, WHICH COULD MATERIALLY IMPAIR OR EVEN PREVENT THE
OPERATION OF OUR BUSINESS.
The environmental remediation business is subject to substantial regulations
promulgated by governmental agencies, including the Environmental Protection
Agency, various state agencies and county and local authorities acting in
conjunction with such federal and state entities. These federal, state and local
environmental laws and regulations, which govern, among other things, the
discharge of hazardous materials into the air and water, as well as the
handling, storage, and disposal of hazardous materials and the remediation of
contaminated sites. Our businesses often involve working around and with
volatile, toxic and hazardous substances and other highly regulated materials,
the improper characterization, handling or disposal of which could constitute
violations of U.S. federal, state or local laws and regulations and result in
criminal and civil liabilities. Environmental laws and regulations generally
impose limitations and standards for certain pollutants or waste materials and
require us to obtain a permit and comply with various other requirements.
Governmental authorities may seek to impose fines and penalties on us, or revoke
or deny issuance or renewal of operating permits, for failure to comply with
applicable laws and regulations. We are also exposed to potential liability for
personal injury or property damage caused by any release, spill, exposure or
other accident involving such substances or materials.
The environmental health and safety laws and regulations to which we are subject
are constantly changing, and it is impossible to predict the effect of such laws
and regulations on us in the future. We cannot predict what future changes in
laws and regulations may be or that these changes in the laws and regulations
will not cause us to incur significant costs or adopt more costly methods of
operation.
6
The microbial remediation portion of our business currently is largely
unregulated. As this business grows it is likely that government regulation will
increase. We cannot predict how the regulations may evolve or whether they may
require increased capital and/or operating expenditures to comply with the new
regulations.
THE RECEIPT OF CONTRACT AWARDS IS UNPREDICTABLE, AND THE FAILURE TO ADJUST OUR
OVERHEAD STRUCTURE TO MEET AN UNEXPECTED DECLINE IN REVENUE COULD SIGNIFICANTLY
IMPACT OUR NET INCOME.
We are an environmental and specialty contractor and as such are affected by the
timing of the award of large contracts. Therefore, backlogs, revenues and income
are subject to significant fluctuation between quarters and years. Since our
overhead structure is reasonably fixed, we may not be able to rapidly adjust our
operating expenses to meet an unexpected decline in revenue, which could impact
revenue and net income.
OUR CREDIT FACILITY CONTAINS RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS THAT LIMIT OUR FINANCIAL AND
OPERATIONAL FLEXIBILITY AND OUR ABILITY TO PAY DIVIDENDS.
Our credit facility contains restrictive covenants that limit our ability to
incur debt, require us to maintain financial ratios, such as a debt service
coverage ratio and leverage ratio and restrict our ability to pay dividends. Our
ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by events beyond our
control, including prevailing economic, financial and industry conditions and we
may be unable to comply with these covenants in the future. A breach of any of
these covenants could result in a default under this credit facility. If we
default, our lender will no longer be obligated to extend revolving loans to us
and could declare all amounts outstanding under our credit facility, together
with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable. If we were unable to
repay those amounts, our lender could proceed against the collateral granted to
it to secure the indebtedness. The result of these actions would have a
significantly negative impact on our results of operations and financial
condition
These restrictions may also adversely affect our ability to conduct and expand
our operations. Adequate funds may not be available when needed or may not be
available on favorable terms. Even if adequate funds are available, our credit
facility may restrict our ability to raise additional funds. If we are unable to
raise capital, our finances and operations may be adversely affected.
THE BUSINESSES IN WHICH THE COMPANY OPERATES ARE VERY COMPETITIVE.
The environmental and specialty contracting industries are very competitive.
Some of our competitors have greater financial resources than we have. As a
result, these competitors may have an advantage in responding more rapidly or
effectively to changes in the industry or technologies. Moreover, competitors
who have substantially greater resources may be better able to withstand the
unexpected declines in revenue or losses.
OUR OPERATING RESULTS MAY VARY FROM QUARTER TO QUARTER, CAUSING OUR STOCK PRICE
TO FLUCTUATE.
Our operating results have in the past been subject to quarter-to-quarter
fluctuations, and we expect that these fluctuations will continue, and may
increase in magnitude, in future periods. Demand for our services is driven by
many factors, including national and regional economic trends, changes in
governmental regulation and our success in being awarded contracts, among other
items. These fluctuations in customer demand for our services can create
corresponding fluctuations in period-to-period revenues, and we therefore cannot
assure you that our results in one period are necessarily indicative of our
revenues in any future period. In addition, the number and timing of large
individual contracts are difficult to predict, and large individual contracts
have, in some cases, occurred in quarters subsequent to those we anticipated, or
have not occurred at all. The loss or deferral of one or more significant
contracts in a quarter could harm our operating results. It is possible that in
some quarters our operating results will be below the expectations of public
market analysts or investors. In such events, or in the event adverse conditions
prevail, the market price of our common stock may decline significantly.
IF OUR ACCOUNTING CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES ARE CIRCUMVENTED OR OTHERWISE FAIL TO
ACHIEVE THEIR INTENDED PURPOSES, OUR BUSINESS COULD BE SERIOUSLY HARMED.
Although we evaluate our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of
each fiscal quarter, and are in the process of reviewing and establishing
internal control over financial reporting in order to comply with SEC rules
relating to internal control over financial reporting adopted pursuant to the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we may not be able to prevent all instances of
accounting errors or fraud in the future. Controls and procedures do not provide
absolute assurance that all deficiencies in design or operation of these control
systems, or all instances of errors or fraud, will be prevented or detected.
These control systems are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving
the goals of these systems in light of legal
7
requirements, company resources and the nature of our business operations. These
control systems remain subject to risks of human error and the risk that
controls can be circumvented for wrongful purposes by one or more individuals in
management or non-management positions. The Company's business could be
seriously harmed by any material failure of these control systems.
VOTING CONTROL IS HELD BY OUR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND A SIGNIFICANT SHAREHOLDER,
WHOSE INTEREST MAY CONFLICT WITH OURS.
Currently our directors and officers as a group beneficially own approximately
26% of our voting securities. Accordingly, acting together, they may be able to
substantially influence the election of directors, management and policies and
the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to its
stockholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all
or substantially all of our assets.
In addition, Barron Partners beneficially owns approximately 20% of our voting
securities. Accordingly, they may be able to substantially influence the
election of directors, management and policies and the outcome of any corporate
transaction or other matter submitted to its stockholders for approval,
including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of
our assets. From time to time, Barron Partners may have interests that differ
from those of our other stockholders.
THERE MAY BE LIMITED LIQUIDITY IN OUR COMMON STOCK AND ITS PRICE MAY BE SUBJECT
TO FLUCTUATION.
Our common stock is currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board and there is only
a limited market for our common stock. We cannot provide any assurances that we
will be able to have our common stock listed on an exchange or quoted on Nasdaq
or that we will continue to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. If there is no
market for trading our common stock, our stockholders will have substantial
difficulty in trading in it and the market price of our common stock will be
materially and adversely affected.
SEC RULES CONCERNING SALES OF LOW-PRICED SECURITIES MAY HINDER RE-SALES OF OUR
COMMON STOCK.
Because our common stock has a market price that is less than five dollars per
share and our common stock is not listed on an exchange or quoted on Nasdaq and
is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, brokers and dealers who handle trades in
our common stock are subject to certain SEC rules when effecting trades in our
common stock. Additionally, the compensation that the brokerage firm and the
salesperson handling a trade receive and legal remedies available to the buyer
are also subject to SEC rules. These requirements may hinder re-sales of our
common stock and may adversely affect the market price of its common stock.
OUR STRATEGY WILL INCLUDE MAKING ADDITIONAL ACQUISITIONS THAT MAY PRESENT RISKS
TO THE BUSINESS.
Making additional strategic acquisitions is part of our strategy. Our ability to
make acquisitions will depend upon identifying attractive acquisition candidates
and, if necessary, obtaining financing on satisfactory terms. Acquisitions may
pose certain risks to us. These risks include the following:
- we may be entering markets in which we have limited experience;
- the acquisitions may be potential distractions to us and may divert
resources and managerial time;
- it may be difficult or costly to integrate an acquired business'
financial, computer, payroll and other systems into our own;
- we may have difficulty implementing additional controls and
information systems appropriate for a growing company;
- some of the acquired businesses may not achieve anticipated
revenues, earnings or cash flow;
- we may have unanticipated liabilities or contingencies from an
acquired business;
- we may have reduced earnings due to amortization expenses, goodwill
impairment charges, increased interest costs and costs related to
the acquisition and its integration;
- we may finance future acquisitions by issuing common stock for some
or all of the purchase price which could dilute the ownership
interests of the stockholders;
8
- acquired companies will have to become, within one year of their
acquisition, compliant with SEC rules relating to internal control
over financial reporting adopted pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002;
- we may be unable to retain management and other key personnel of an
acquired company; and
- we may impair relationships with an acquired company's employees,
suppliers or customers by changing management.
If we are unsuccessful in meeting the challenges arising out of our
acquisitions, our business, financial condition and future results could be
materially harmed. Additionally, to the extent that the value of the assets
acquired in any prior or future acquisitions, including goodwill or intangible
assets with indefinite lives, becomes impaired, we would be required to incur
impairment charges that would affect earnings. Such impairment charges could
reduce our earnings and have a material adverse effect on the market value of
the Company's common stock.
WE ARE REQUIRED TO KEEP EFFECTIVE A SHELF REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR CERTAIN
SELLING SHAREHOLDERS AND IF WE ARE UNABLE TO DO SO FOR THE REQUIRED PROCEDURE WE
MAY BE CHARGED SUBSTANTIAL LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.
On March 4, 2004 we completed a private placement transaction pursuant to which
we sold 1,250,000 shares of our Common Stock (the "Shares") to Barron Partners,
LP (the "Investor") for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000. In addition, we
issued two warrants (the "Warrants") to the Investor exercisable for shares of
our Common Stock (the "Warrant Shares"). In connection with these transactions,
we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investor. Under this
agreement, we were required to file within ninety (90) days of closing a
registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the
purpose of registering the resale of the Shares and the Warrant Shares. The U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission declared our registration statement effective
on June 30, 2004. We are required to keep the registration statement effective
until the earlier of two years from the Closing Date and such time as the
remaining Shares and Warrant Shares may be sold under Rule 144 in any
three-month period, subject to permitted Black-Out Periods (as defined in the
Registration Rights Agreement). In the event that the registration statement is
not effective for any period exceeding a permitted Black-Out Period , then we
will be obligated to pay the Investor liquidated damages equal to 18% of the
Investor's purchase price per annum.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
As of January 31, 2005, we lease certain office space for our executive offices
in Pittsburgh totaling 3,334 square feet. In addition, a combination of
warehouse and office space is leased in Los Angeles (6,500 square feet),
Hazleton (1,800 square feet), Fort Lauderdale (6,000 square feet), Tampa (5,400
square feet), Rock Hill (15,000 square feet), Houston (3,800 square feet),
Phoenix (3,125 square feet), Portland (6,000 square feet), Seattle (2,150 square
feet), and Paramus (5,391 square feet).
We also own a 15,000 square foot office/warehouse situated on approximately six
(6) acres in Export, Pennsylvania, which is subject to a mortgage of $325,000 at
January 31, 2005.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are subject to dispute and litigation in the ordinary course of business. We
are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation that we believe is
reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us, based upon
information available at this time.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
Our Board of Directors on April 4, 2005 unanimously approved the following
actions subject to shareholder approval at the Company's Annual Meeting:
- Increase our authorized common shares from 30,000,000 to 60,000,000
- Increase the number of common shares that may be granted relative
to the Incentive Stock Option Plan from 3,300,000 to 4,000,000
- Increase the number of common shares that may be granted relative
to the Employee-Director Stock Option Plan from 250,000 to 500,000.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in
its entirety by, our audited financial statements and notes thereto, and other
financial information included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Certain statements contained in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this report are
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These
statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some
cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as
"may", "will", "should", "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "plan", "believe",
"estimate", "potential", or "continue", the negative of these terms or other
comparable terminology. These statements involve a number of risks and
uncertainties. Actual events or results may differ materially from any
forward-looking statement as a result of various factors, including those
described above under "Risk Factors".
OVERVIEW
Through our operating subsidiaries, we provide environmental and specialty
contracting services including asbestos and lead abatement, insulation,
microbial remediation, disaster response, loss mitigation and reconstruction,
demolition and related services.
The following paragraphs are intended to highlight key operating trends and
developments in our operations and to identify other factors affecting our
consolidated results of operations for the three years ended January 31, 2005.
Contract revenues are recognized on the percentage of completion method measured
by the relationship of total costs incurred to total estimated contract costs
(cost-to-cost method). The majority of the Company's contracts are fixed price
contracts, therefore, any change in estimated costs to complete a contract will
have a direct impact upon the revenues and related gross margin recognized on
that particular contract.
Contract costs represent the cost of our laborers working on our contracts and
related benefit costs, materials expended during the course of the contract,
periodic billings from subcontractors that worked on our contracts, costs
incurred for project supervision by our personnel and depreciation of machinery
and equipment utilized on our contracts.
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of the personnel at our
executive offices and the costs related to operating that office and the Company
as a whole including marketing, legal, accounting and other corporate expenses,
the costs of management and administration at our ten branch offices, office
rental, depreciation and amortization of corporate and non-operational assets
and other costs related to the operation of our branch offices.
Interest expense consists primarily of interest charges on our line of credit
but also includes the interest expense of term debt with our lending
institution.
Other income (expense) components are as described in our statement of
operation.
11
The income tax provision is the amount accrued and payable to the federal
government and the various state taxing authorities. Until fiscal 2005 no
amounts have been due to the federal government as we had a net operating loss
carryforward, which had been sufficient to offset taxable income in recent
years.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of judgments and
estimates. Our critical accounting policies are described below to provide a
better understanding of how we develop our judgments about future events and
related estimations and how they can impact our financial statements. A critical
accounting estimate is one that requires our most difficult, subjective or
complex estimates and assessments and is fundamental to our results of
operations. We identified our most critical accounting estimates to be:
- - Revenue Recognition
- - Billing Realization/Contracts Receivable Collectability
- - Recoverability of Goodwill
- - Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Account
We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions
we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form
the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We believe the
following are the critical accounting policies used in the preparation of our
consolidated financial statements, as well as the significant estimates and
judgments affecting the application of these policies. This discussion and
analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial
statements and related notes included in this report. We have discussed the
development and selection of these critical accounting policies and estimates
with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, and the Audit Committee has
reviewed the disclosure presented below.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. A significant
portion of our work is performed on a fixed price basis. The balance of our work
is performed on variations of cost reimbursable and unit price approaches.
Contract revenue is accrued based upon the percentage that actual costs to date
bear to total estimated costs. We utilize the cost-to-cost method as we believe
this method is less subjective than relying on assessments of physical progress.
We follow the guidance of the Statement of Position 81-1, "Accounting for
Performance of Construction Type and Certain Production Type Contracts," for
accounting policy relating to our use of the percentage-of-completion method,
estimating costs, revenue recognition and unapproved change order/claim
recognition. The use of estimated costs to complete each contract, the most
widely recognized method used for percentage-of-completion accounting, is a
significant variable in the process of determining income earned and is a
significant factor in the accounting for contracts. The cumulative impact of
revisions to total cost estimates during the progress of work is reflected in
the period in which these changes become known. Due to the various estimates
inherent in our contract accounting, actual results could differ from these
estimates.
Contract revenue reflects the original contract price adjusted for approved
change orders and estimated minimum recoveries of unapproved change orders and
claims. We recognize unapproved change orders and claims to the extent that
related costs have been incurred when it is probable that they will result in
additional contract revenue and their value can be reliably estimated. Losses
expected to be incurred on contracts in progress are charged to earnings in the
period such losses are known.
Billing Realization / Contracts Receivable Collectability
We perform services for a wide variety of customers including governmental
entities, institutions, property owners, general contractors and specialty
contractors. Our ability to render billings on in-process jobs is governed by
the requirements of the contract and, in many cases, is tied to progress towards
completion or the aforementioned specified mileposts. Realization of contract
billings is in some cases guaranteed by a payment bond provided by the surety of
our customer. In all other cases we are an unsecured creditor of its customers,
except that we may perfect its rights to payment by filing a mechanics lien,
subject to the requirements of the particular jurisdiction. Payments may be
delayed or disputed by a customer due to contract performance issues and / or
disputes with the customer. Ultimately, we have recourse to the judicial system
to secure payment. All of the aforementioned matters may result in significant
delays in the receipt of payment from the customer. As discussed in the previous
section, "revenue recognition", there can be no assurances that future events
will not result in significant changes to the financial statements to reflect
changing events.
We extend credit to customers and other parties in the normal course of business
after a review of the potential customer's creditworthiness. Additionally,
management reviews the commercial terms of significant contracts before entering
into a contractual arrangement. We regularly review outstanding receivables and
provide for estimated losses through an allowance for doubtful accounts. In
evaluating the level of established reserves, management makes an evaluation of
required payments, economic events and other factors. As the financial condition
of these parties change, circumstances develop or additional information becomes
available, adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required.
12
Recoverability of Goodwill
Effective February 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets," which states that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible
assets are no longer to be amortized but are to be reviewed annually for
impairment. The goodwill impairment analysis required under SFAS No. 142
requires us to allocate goodwill to our reporting units, compare the fair value
of each reporting unit with our carrying amount, including goodwill, and then,
if necessary, record a goodwill impairment charge in an amount equal to the
excess, if any, of the carrying amount of a reporting unit's goodwill over the
implied fair value of that goodwill. The primary method we employ to estimate
these fair values is the discounted cash flow method. This methodology is based,
to a large extent, on assumptions about future events, which may or may not
occur as anticipated, and such deviations could have a significant impact on the
estimated values calculated. These assumptions include, but are not limited to,
estimates of future growth rates, discount rates and terminal values of
reporting units. See further discussion in Note 14 to our Consolidated Financial
Statements.
At January 31, 2005 goodwill on our balance sheet totaled $1,338,000. The
goodwill is primarily attributable to the acquisition of the former Tri-State
Restorations, Inc. operation in June 2001 that now operates as our Los Angeles
office. The remaining goodwill relates to two smaller acquisitions. The payment
of the initial purchase price for the Tri-State Restorations acquisition
initially generated a moderate amount of goodwill but the majority was created
by the subsequent payment of contingent purchase price under the asset purchase
agreement which provided for a four year earn-out for the former owners based
upon the net profits of the Los Angeles office.
We have concluded that the recorded value of goodwill has not been impaired as a
result of an evaluation as of January 31, 2005.
Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance
We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount
that is more likely than not to be realized. Due to our history of varied
earnings and losses, we have recorded a full valuation allowance against our net
deferred tax assets as of January 31, 2005. We currently provide for income
taxes only to the extent that we expect to pay cash taxes on current income.
Should we be profitable in the future at levels which cause us to conclude that
it is more likely than not that we will realize all or a portion of the deferred
tax assets, we will record the estimated net realizable value of the deferred
tax assets at that time and would then provide for income taxes at our combined
federal and state rates.
ACCOUNTING POLICY CHANGES
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS
123R"), a revision to SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation"
("SFAS 123"), and superseding APB Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" and its related implementation guidance. SFAS 123R establishes
standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its
equity instruments for goods or services, including obtaining employee services
in share-based payment transactions. SFAS 123R applies to all awards granted
after the required effective date and to awards modified, repurchased, or
cancelled after that date. Adoption of the provisions of SFAS 123R is effective
as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after
June 15, 2005. Should we issue employee stock options after January 31,
2006, a charge against earnings would be required as provided by SFAS 123R. The
magnitude of the charge would depend upon the number of employee stock options
issues, the exercise price of the stock options and the volatility of the share
price of our common stock on the date the employee stock options are issued. To
date, we have not reached a conclusion as to how we will modify our employee
bonus and incentive plans.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
YEAR ENDED JANUARY 31, 2005 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED JANUARY 31, 2004
During the year ended January 31, 2005, (fiscal 2005) our consolidated revenues
increased 68% to $60.4 million as compared to $36.0 million for the previous
fiscal year ended January 31, 2004 (fiscal 2004). The increase was due to a
significant increase in contract activity at our Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, Tampa
and Ft. Lauderdale offices and in part to increased revenues from mold
remediation. The increase at the Tampa and Ft. Lauderdale offices and in part at
the Pittsburgh office was partially due to the increased demand for services as
a result of the four hurricanes, which hit the southeastern United States in
August and September of 2004.
Our reported gross margin increased to $9.7 million in fiscal 2005 compared to
$6.6 million in fiscal 2004. The increase in gross margin is due to a higher
volume of work offset in part by negative contract adjustments of $1.4 million,
primarily on contracts commencing and completed in fiscal 2005, due to cost
overruns and unexpected conditions. The majority of the adjustments were at our
New York, Pittsburgh, Seattle and Los Angeles offices.
13
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased in fiscal 2005 to $6.9
million compared to $5.6 million in fiscal 2004. This increase was due in part
to the significantly higher level of operating activity, including employee
bonuses as many of our operating locations met their earnings targets, the
addition of the Kleen-All and PT&L operations acquired in the first quarter of
the current fiscal year and additional headcount.
As a result of the factors discussed above, we reported income from operations
in fiscal 2005 of $2.85 million compared to an income from operations of $1.0
million in fiscal 2004.
Interest expense increased to $0.39 million in fiscal 2005 compared to $0.35
million in fiscal 2004 due to an increase in the prime rate of interest, to
which a majority of our borrowings are tied, and increased borrowings throughout
the current year on the line of credit to finance the significantly higher level
of operations.
The current fiscal year's other income included a $0.11 million gain from the
sale of fixed assets as the Company sold equipment that was currently not being
utilized.
Other income in fiscal 2005 totaled approximately $17,000 versus $49,000 in
fiscal 2004.
During fiscal 2005 the remaining federal net operating loss carryforwards were
fully utilized, therefore, a federal tax provision of $178,000 was provided for
that income that could not be offset by the net operating loss carryforward. In
fiscal 2004 as a result of utilizing net operating loss carryforwards for book
purposes, no federal income taxes were provided. State income tax provisions of
$205,000 and $62,000 were made in fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively.
YEAR ENDED JANUARY 31, 2004 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED JANUARY 31, 2003
During the year ended January 31, 2004, (fiscal 2004) our consolidated revenues
decreased to $36.0 million as compared to $40.6 million for the previous fiscal
year ended January 31, 2003 (fiscal 2003). The decrease was due in part to
revenue decreases from the exclusion of the St. Louis operations for the entire
2004 fiscal year (the St. Louis operation was sold in July 2002) and the
refocusing of the southeast Texas operations in mid fiscal 2003. Those two
operations had revenues of $5.5 million in fiscal 2003.
Our reported gross margin increased to $6.6 million in fiscal 2004 compared to
$5.6 million in fiscal 2003. The increase in gross margin is due to higher gross
margin percentage realized on contracts in the current fiscal year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased slightly in fiscal 2004
to $5.6 million compared to $5.1 million in fiscal 2003. This increase was
primarily due costs associated with increased employee bonuses due to increased
profitability and an increased funding of mold infrastructure and marketing
costs in the current fiscal year.
As a result of the factors discussed above, we reported income from operations
in fiscal 2004 of $1.0 million compared to an income from operations of $0.5
million in fiscal 2003.
Interest expense decreased to $0.35 million in fiscal 2004 compared to $0.38
million in fiscal 2003 due to lower interest rates in fiscal 2004 that offset a
higher level of borrowings to support operations.
Fiscal year 2003 other income includes a $0.32 million gain from the sale of the
St. Louis operation and the sale of certain fixed assets and inventory of the
southeast Texas operations and a goodwill impairment charge of $149,000 made to
reflect the termination of operations at the St. Louis and Chicago locations
which were sold/closed, respectively, during fiscal 2003. The St. Louis and
Chicago operations were acquired in fiscal 1999.
Other income in fiscal 2004 totaled approximately $49,000 versus $54,000 in
fiscal 2003.
As a result of net operating loss carryforwards for book purposes, there was no
federal income tax provision in fiscal 2004 and 2003. State income tax
provisions of $62,000 and $16,000 were made in fiscal 2004 and 2003,
respectively.
14
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
FISCAL 2005
During fiscal 2005, we experienced an increase in cash and cash equivalents of
$0.3 million as cash and cash equivalents increased from $0.04 million at
January 31, 2004 to $0.33 million at January 31, 2005. The increase in cash and
cash equivalents in fiscal 2005 was attributable to cash inflows of $0.07
million from operating activities and of $1.4 million from financing activities
partially offset by cash utilized by investing activities of $1.2 million.
Cash inflows from operating activities were generated by net income of $2.2
million, depreciation and amortization of $0.7 million, a $0.2 provision for
uncollectible accounts, a $0.37 million increase in accounts payable, a $0.77
million increase in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on
uncompleted contracts, a $0.3 million in current income taxes payable and a $1.3
million increase in accrued liabilities related to the timing of the payments.
The cash inflows were partially offset by cash utilizations including a $4.1
million increase in accounts receivable, due to a significantly higher volume of
customer billings in the current fiscal year, a $1.6 million increase in costs
and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts and a
$0.05 million increase in inventories.
Cash inflows from financing activities of $1.4 million during fiscal 2005
consisted of $0.45 million from the private placement of the Company's common
stock (which was net of $0.05 million of costs associated with registering our
common stock related to the private placement), $1.2 million from the exercise
of warrants issued in connection with the aforementioned private placement and
$0.33 million from the exercise of employee stock options. These cash inflows
were partially offset by $0.57 million for the repayment of debt.
Investing activities cash outflows included $0.90 million for the purchase of
property, plant and equipment, a $0.015 million additional investment in the IAQ
venture and $0.34 million of payments related to the acquisition of businesses
completed both in a current and a prior fiscal year. These cash outflows were
partially offset by $0.13 million of proceeds from the sale of fixed assets.
FISCAL 2004
During fiscal 2004, we experienced an increase in liquidity of $0.027 million as
cash and short-term investments increased from $0.009 million at January 31,
2003 to $0.036 million at January 31, 2004. The increase in liquidity in fiscal
2004 was attributable to cash inflows of $0.48 million from operating activities
and of $0.32 million from financing activities partially offset by cash utilized
by investing activities of $0.77 million.
Cash inflows from operating activities were generated by net income of $0.64
million, depreciation and amortization of $1.03 million, a $0.09 million
decrease in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted
contracts, a $0.32 million increase in accounts payable and a $0.38 million
increase in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted
contracts. The cash inflows were partially offset by cash utilizations including
a $1.82 million increase in accounts receivable, due to a significantly higher
volume of customer billings in January 2004, a $0.04 million increase in
inventories and a $0.2 million decrease in accrued liabilities related to the
timing of the payments.
Cash inflows from financing activities of $0.32 million during fiscal 2004
included an increase in borrowings on the line of credit by $0.75 million to
$4.7 million at January 31, 2004 from $3.95 million at January 31, 2003 which
was partially offset by of $0.43 million of repayments on debt.
Our investing activities utilized cash flow of $0.77 million, which included
$0.52 million for the purchase of property, plant and equipment and $0.26
million of payments related to acquisitions completed both in a current and a
prior fiscal year.

======== ========= ======= ===== =========
The 1-3 year payment due column includes $4.7 million for the line of credit
which is due June 6, 2006. The line of credit is at an interest rate of prime
plus 1%. Our Chief Executive Officer has provided a limited personal guarantee.
We rely significantly upon our access to credit facilities in order to operate
our business. We expect to be able to maintain our existing line of credit (or
to obtain replacement or additional financing) as the current arrangements
expire or become fully utilized; however, there can be no assurance that such
financing will be obtainable on favorable terms, if at all. An inability to
maintain an adequate line of credit could result in limitations on our ability
to bid for new or renew existing contracts, which could have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition and results of operations. It has been the
practice of our lending institution to annually extend the maturity date of the
line of credit. While we are confident that this will remain the case, there can
be no assurance that the lending institution will continue to extend the
maturity date of the line of credit annually. In October 2004 and December 2004
our lender approved a temporary $1,000,000 and $500,000, respectively, increase
in our line of credit to $8.0 million until June 30, 2005. The increase in the
line of credit was required to fund the increase in revenues generated by the
hurricane recovery work beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2005.
Under our credit facility, we are also required to maintain specified financial
ratios and satisfy certain financial tests. At January 31, 2005 we were in
compliance with all the covenants of our debt agreement.
In March 2004, we raised $0.5 million from a private placement of our Common
Stock to fund general business purposes and our acquisition strategy. In
connection with the private placement, we also issued warrants exercisable for
an additional 3.5 million shares. The full exercise of these warrants would
result in proceeds to us of $4.4 million. During fiscal 2005, warrants for the
issuance of 1,500,000 shares of our common stock were exercised resulting in
proceeds of $1,200,000 to us.
In connection with these transactions, the Investor entered into a Registration
Rights Agreement with us. Under this agreement, we are required to file within
ninety (90) days of closing a registration statement with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission for the purpose of registering the resale of the Shares
and the Warrant Shares. Our registration statement was declared effective by the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 30, 2004. We are required to
keep the registration statement effective until the earlier of two years from
the Closing Date and such time as the remaining Shares and Warrant Shares may be
sold under Rule 144 in any three month period, subject to permitted Black-Out
Periods (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). In the event that the
Investor is not permitted to sell its Shares pursuant to the registration
statement is not effective for any period exceeding a permitted Black-Out Period
being exceeded or otherwise, then we will be obligated to pay the Investor
liquidated damages equal to 18% of the Investor's purchase price per annum.
Based upon the current operating plan, we expect that our existing cash balances
and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to finance our working capital
and capital expenditure requirements through Fiscal 2006. However, if events
occur or circumstances change such that we fail to meet our operating plan as
expected, we may require additional funds to support our working capital
requirements or for other purposes and may seek to raise additional funds
through public or private equity or debt financing or from other sources. If
additional financing is needed, we can not be assured that such financing will
be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
We have signed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire substantially all of
the operating assets of a southwestern-based emergency response/disaster
restoration company. The acquisition is contingent upon a number of conditions,
including but not limited to, completion of due diligence, Board of Director's
approval, financing and entering into a definitive asset purchase agreement. We
intend to finance this acquisition through a combination of equity and debt
financing, a portion of each which will be received/held by the seller. We
cannot be assured that such financing will be available on commercially
reasonable terms or at all
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The only market risk, as defined, that we are exposed to is interest rate
sensitivity. The interest rate on the equipment note and revolving line of
credit fluctuate based upon changes in the prime rate. Each 1% change in the
prime rate will result in a $52,000 change in borrowing costs based upon the
balance outstanding at January 31, 2005. The Corporation does not use derivative
financial instruments to manage interest rate risk.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
Our consolidated financial statements and the report of Parente Randolph LLC are
attached to this Annual Report on Form 10-K beginning on page F-1 and are
incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Not applicable
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that
evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered
by this report have been designed and are functioning effectively to provide
reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in
reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and
forms except certain material weaknesses that were identified by our external
auditors as related to the changes in the rules associated with the advent of
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB"), specifically, our past
practices related to controls over period ending reporting processes, controls
over the documentation and selection of accounting principles and controls over
non-routine and non-systematic transactions are now considered to contain
material weaknesses as a result of the new rules adopted by the PCAOB. Our
management is taking actions to identify and remediate control deficiencies as
part of its Sarbanes-Oxley 404 internal controls over financial reporting
readiness project. This process only recently commenced. Our analysis is
continuing and we plan to complete the project before the end of the initial
assessment reporting period ending January 31, 2007.
Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial
Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control
over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A controls
system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute
assurance that the objectives of the controls systems are met, and no evaluation
of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances
of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Further, the design of a
control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and
the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. These
inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can
be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes.
Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by
collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The
design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about
the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design
will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future
conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or
procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control
system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during our
most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonable likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except as
noted in the first paragraph of this Item 9A - Controls and Procedures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of PDG Environmental, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of PDG Environmental, Inc. and
subsidiaries (the "Corporation") as of January 31, 2005 and 2004, and the
related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash
flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended January 31, 2005. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits. The consolidated statements of operations,
changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended January 31,
2003 were audited by Stokes & Hinds, LLC, who merged with Parente Randolph, LLC
as of June 1, 2003, and whose report dated April 7, 2003 expressed an
unqualified opinion on those statements.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 consolidated financial position of PDG Environmental,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of January 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended
January 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PDG ENVIRONMENTAL, INC.
FOR THE THREE YEARS ENDED JANUARY 31, 2005
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS
PDG Environmental, Inc. (the "Corporation") is a holding company which, through
its wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, provides environmental and specialty
contracting services including asbestos and lead abatement, insulation,
microbial remediation, disaster response, loss mitigation and reconstruction,
demolition and related services. In the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the
Corporation formed IAQ Training Institute ("IAQTI") a 50/50 joint venture to
provide training in mold awareness and remediation.
The Corporation provides these services to a diversified customer base located
throughout the United States. The Corporation's is conducted in a single
business segment - Environmental Services. Services are generally performed
under the terms of fixed price contracts or time and materials contracts with a
duration of less than one year, although larger projects may require two or more
years to complete.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
USE OF ESTIMATES:
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, income and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments of 20% to 50% of
the outstanding common stock of investees are accounted for using the equity
method.
REVENUES AND COST RECOGNITION:
Revenues from fixed price and modified fixed price contracts are recognized on
the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the relationship of total cost
incurred to total estimated contract costs (cost-to-cost method). Revenues from
time and materials contracts are recognized as services are performed.
Contract costs include direct labor, material and subcontractor costs and those
indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor,
supplies, tools, depreciation, repairs and insurance. Selling, general and
administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Bidding and proposal
costs are also recognized as an expense in the period in which such amounts are
incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are
recognized in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job
performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those
arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, may
result in revisions to estimated costs and income, and are recognized in the
period in which the revisions are determined. Profit incentives are included in
revenues when their realization is reasonably assured.
The asset "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted
contracts," represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The
liability, "Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted
contracts," represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:
Cash and cash equivalents consist principally of currency on hand, demand
deposits at commercial banks, and liquid investment funds having a maturity of
three months or less at the time of purchase.
F-7
CONTRACTS RECEIVABLES AND ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS
Contract receivables are recorded when invoices are issued and are presented in
the balance sheet net of the allowance for uncollectible accounts. Contract
receivables are written off when they are determined to be uncollectible. The
allowance for uncollectible accounts is estimated based on the Corporation's
historic losses, the existing economic conditions in the construction industry
and the financial stability of its customers
INVENTORIES:
Inventories consisting of materials and supplies used in the completion of
contracts are stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or
market.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT:
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated over the
estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the lesser of the term of the related lease or
the estimated useful lives of the improvements. The estimated useful lives of
the related assets are generally three to thirty years.
GOODWILL
Goodwill is recognized for the excess of the purchase price over the fair value
of tangible and identifiable intangible net assets of businesses acquired. Prior
to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" in February 2003, goodwill was amortized
over the estimated period of benefit on a straight-line basis and was reviewed
for impairment under the policy for other long-lived assets. Since adoption of
Statement No. 142 in February 2003 amortization of goodwill was discontinued and
goodwill is reviewed at least annually for impairment. Unless circumstances
otherwise dictate, annual impairment testing is performed in the fourth quarter
INCOME TAXES:
The Corporation provides for income taxes under the liability method as required
by SFAS No. 109.
Deferred income taxes result from timing differences arising between financial
and income tax reporting due to the deductibility of certain expenses in
different periods for financial reporting and income tax purposes. A valuation
allowance is provided against net deferred tax assets unless, in managements'
judgment, it is more likely than not that such deferred tax asset will be
realized.
The Corporation files a consolidated Federal Income tax return. Accordingly,
federal income taxes are provided on the taxable income, if any, of the
consolidated group. State income taxes are provided on a separate company basis,
if and when, taxable income, after utilizing available carryforward losses,
exceeds certain levels.
COMPENSATION PLANS:
The Corporation has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related
Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because, as
discussed below, the alternative fair value accounting provided for under SFAS
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," (as amended by SFAS 148),
requires use of option valuation models that were not developed for use in
valuing employee stock options. Under APB 25, when the exercise price of the
Corporation's employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying
stock on the measurement date, no compensation expense is recognized.
Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by
SFAS No. 123, and has been determined as if the Corporation had accounted for
its employee stock options under the fair value method of that Statement. The
fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions for fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003: risk-free interest rates of 4%, 4%
and 4% in fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively; dividend yield of 0%;
volatility factors of the expected market price of the Corporation's common
stock of 0.94, 1.18 and 1.14 in fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively; and a
weighted-average expected life of the option of 8 years.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because
the Corporation's employee stock options have characteristics significantly
different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective
input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's
opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single
measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options
is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The Corporation's pro
forma information follows:
FISCAL FISCAL FISCAL

------------- ------------ -------------
Net income, as reported $ 2,186,000 $ 644,000 $ 278,000

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
As of January 31, 2005, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents,
contract receivables, accounts payable and notes payable and current maturities
of long-term debt approximated fair value because of their short maturity.
F-8
RECLASSIFICATIONS:
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation.
NOTE 3 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Interpretation ("FIN") No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
(VIE)," (revised December 2003 by FIN No. 46R), which addresses how a business
enterprise should evaluate whether it has a controlling financial interest in an
entity through means other than voting rights and accordingly should consolidate
the entity. For variable interests in VIEs created before January 1, 2004, the
Interpretation will be applied beginning on January 1, 2005. For any VIEs that
must be consolidated under FIN No. 46R that were created before January 1, 2004,
the assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests of the VIE initially would
be measured at their carrying amounts with any difference between the net amount
added to the balance sheet and any previously recognized interest being
recognized as the cumulative effect of an accounting change. If determining the
carrying amounts is not practicable, fair value at the date FIN No. 46R first
applies may be used to measure the assets, liabilities and non-controlling
interest of the VIE. The adoption of FIN No. 46R did not have a material impact
on the Corporation's financial position, results of operations or cash flows as
the Corporation does not have any VIEs.
In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a consensus on
Issue No. 03-01, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its
Application to Certain Investments." EITF 03-01 provides guidance on
other-than-temporary impairment models for marketable debt and equity securities
accounted for under SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities," and SFAS No. 124, "Accounting for Certain Investments
Held by Not-for-Profit Organizations," and non-marketable equity securities
accounted for under the cost method. The EITF developed a basic three-step model
to evaluate whether an investment is other-than-temporarily impaired. In
September 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position EITF 03-01-1, which delays
the effective date until additional guidance is issued for the application of
the recognition and measurement provisions of EITF 03-01 to investments in
securities that are impaired; however, the disclosure requirements are effective
for annual periods ending after June 15, 2004. The adoption of the disclosure
provisions of EITF 03-01 did not have a material effect on the Corporation's
results of operations or financial condition.
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 151, Inventory Costs--an amendment of ARB
No. 43, Chapter 4. The Statement amends the guidance of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4,
Inventory Pricing , by clarifying that abnormal amounts of idle facility
expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) should be
recognized as current-period charges and by requiring the allocation of fixed
production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production
facilities. It does not appear that this Statement will have a material effect
on the financial position, operations or cash flows of the Corporation when it
becomes effective in 2006.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS
123R"), a revision to SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation"
("SFAS 123"), and superseding APB Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" and its related implementation guidance. SFAS 123R establishes
standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its
equity instruments for goods or services, including obtaining employee services
in share-based payment transactions. SFAS 123R applies to all awards granted
after the required effective date and to awards modified, repurchased, or
cancelled after that date. Adoption of the provisions of SFAS 123R is effective
as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after June
15, 2005. Should the Corporation issue employee stock options after January 31,
2006 a charge against earnings would be required as provided by SFAS 123R. The
magnitude of the charge would depend upon the number of employee stock options
issues, the exercise price of the stock options and the volatility of the share
price of the Corporation's common stock on the date the employee stock options
are issued.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153 "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets"
("SFAS 153"), an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 "Accounting for Nonmonetary
Transactions". The amendments made by SFAS 153 are based on the principal that
exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of
the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow exception for
nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a broader
exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial
substance. The statement is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring
in fiscal periods after June 15, 2005. It does not appear that this Statement
will have a material effect on the financial position, operations or cash flows
of the Corporation.

============ ============
On August 3, 2000, the Corporation closed on a $4.7 million credit facility with
Sky Bank, an Ohio banking association, consisting of a 3-year $3 million
revolving line of credit, a 5-year $1 million equipment note, a 15-year $0.4
million mortgage and a 5-year $0.3 million commitment for future equipment
financing. The new financing repaid all of the Company's existing debt.
The line of credit, equipment note and commitment for future equipment financing
are at an interest rate of prime plus 1% with financial covenant incentives
which may reduce the interest rate to either prime plus 1/2% or prime (at
January 31, 2005 prime was 5.5%). The mortgage is at an interest rate of 9.15%
fixed for three years and is then adjusted to 2.75% above the 3-year Treasury
Index every three years. The Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation provided
a limited personal guarantee for the credit facility. The credit facility
contains certain financial covenants which the Corporation required waiver at
January 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002.
On February 28, 2003 Sky Bank increased the line of credit by $600,000 to $5.1
million for a four-month period. The availability on the line of credit was
reduced to $4.5 million on July 1, 2003.
In July 2003 Sky Bank approved a permanent $500,000 increase in the Company's
line of credit to $5 million and in January 2004 Sky Bank approved a permanent
$500,000 increase in the Company's line of credit to $5.5 million and in July
2004 Sky Bank approved a permanent $1,000,000 increase in the Company's line of
credit to $6.5 million
In April 2004 Sky Bank extended the maturity date on the line of credit until
June 6, 2006.
In October 2004 and December 2004 Sky Bank approved a temporary $1,000,000 and
$500,000, respectively, increase in the Company's line of credit to $8.0 million
until June 30, 2005. The increase in the line of credit was required to fund the
increase in revenues generated by the hurricane recovery work beginning in the
third quarter of fiscal 2005.
On January 31, 2005, the balance on the line of credit was $4,700,000 with an
unused availability of $3,300,000.
F-11
The majority of the Corporation's property and equipment are pledged as security
for the above obligations.
Maturity requirements on long-term debt aggregate $192,000 in fiscal 2006,
$4,715,000 in fiscal 2007, $18,000 in fiscal 2008, $21,000 in fiscal 2009,
$25,000 in fiscal 2010 and $234,000 thereafter.
The Corporation paid approximately $405,000, $344,000 and $378,000 for interest
costs during the years ended January 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

NOTE 10 - COMPENSATION PLANS
The Corporation has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related
Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because, as
discussed below, the alternative fair value accounting provided for under SFAS
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," (as amended by SFAS 148),
requires use of option valuation models that were not developed for use in
valuing employee stock options. Under APB 25, when the exercise price of the
Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock
on the measurement date, no compensation expense is recognized.
The Corporation maintains a qualified Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"),
which provides for the grant of incentive options to purchase an aggregate of up
to 3,300,000 shares of the common stock of the Corporation to certain officers
and employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. All options granted have
10-year terms.
Options to purchase 629,333 shares of the Corporation's common stock were
granted under the Plan issuable related to fiscal 2004. Non-discretionary
options granted in this fiscal year contain a defined vesting schedule along
with an alternate schedule that provides for accelerated vesting if certain
performance measures are met. Those individual non-discretionary awards that did
not vest due to failure to achieve the performance measures, vest in November
2011. Discretionary options vest on the grant date. A total of 300,500 options
to purchase shares of common stock vested at January 31, 2004 relative to fiscal
2004.
Options to purchase 660,000 shares of the Corporation's common stock were
granted under the Plan issuable related to fiscal 2003. Non-discretionary
options granted in this fiscal year contain a defined vesting schedule along
with an alternate schedule that provides for accelerated vesting if certain
performance measures are met. Those individual non-discretionary awards that did
not vest due to failure to achieve the performance measures, vest in November
2010. Discretionary options vest on the grant date. A total of 430,034 options
to purchase shares of common stock vested at January 31, 2003 relative to fiscal
2003.

The Corporation also maintains the 1990 Stock Option Plan for Employee Directors
(the "Employee Directors Plan"), which provides for the grant of options to
purchase an aggregate of up to 250,000 shares of the Corporation's common stock.
Options to purchase 50,000 shares of the Corporation's common stock at an
exercise price of $0.65 per share have been granted under the Employee Director
Plan. At January 31, 2005 all of the options granted under the Employee
Directors Plan were exercisable.
The 1990 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "Non-Employee
Directors Plan") provides for the grant of options to purchase an aggregate of
up to 600,000 shares of the Corporation's common stock. Options to purchase
410,250 shares of the Corporation's common stock at prices ranging from $0.26
per share to $1.39 per share have been granted under the Non-Employee Directors
Plan. During fiscal 2005, options to purchase 50,000 shares of the Corporation's
common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.26 to $0.77 per share were
exercised, resulting in proceeds of $25,200 to the Corporation. At January 31,
2005, all of the 360,250 outstanding options granted under the Non-Employee
Directors Plan were exercisable.
NOTE 11 - PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF SECURITIES
On March 4, 2004 the Corporation closed on a private placement transaction
pursuant to which it sold 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock, (the "Shares"), to
Barron Partners, LP (the "Investor") for an aggregate purchase price of
$500,000. In addition, the Corporation issued two warrants to the Investor
exercisable for shares of its Common Stock (the "Warrants"). The Shares and the
Warrants were issued in a private placement transaction pursuant to Rule 506 of
Regulation D and Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Offset against the proceeds is $51,000 of costs incurred in conjunction with the
private placement transaction, primarily related to the cost of the registration
of the common stock and common stock underlying the warrants, as discussed in
the fourth paragraph of this note.
The First Warrant provided the Investor the right to purchase up to 1,500,000
shares of the Corporation's Common Stock. During the year ended January 31,
2005 Barron exercised the First Warrant in full at an exercise price of $0.80
per share warrants resulting in proceeds of $1,200,000 to the Corporation.
F-15
The Second Warrant provides the Investor the right to purchase up to 2,000,000
shares of the Corporation's Common Stock. The Second Warrant has an exercise
price of $1.60 per share resulting in proceeds of $3,200,000 to the Corporation
upon its full exercise and expires five years from the date of issuance. The
Corporation may require the Investor to exercise the Second Warrant in full at
any time until December 4, 2005 if the average price of the Corporation's Common
Stock exceeds $2.40 for ten consecutive trading days and the Corporation has a
Registration Statement effective during the same ten consecutive trading days.
The warrant holder may exercise through a cashless net exercise procedure after
March 4, 2005, if the shares underlying the warrant are either not subject to an
effective registration statement or, if subject to a registration statement,
during a suspension of the registration statement. The Corporation has reserved
sufficient shares of its common stock to cover the issuance of shares relative
to the unexercised warrants held by the Investor.
In connection with these transactions, the Corporation and the Investor entered
into a Registration Rights Agreement. Under this agreement, the Corporation was
required to file within ninety (90) days of closing a registration statement
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the purpose of registering
the resale of the Shares and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants.
The Company's registration statement was declared effective by the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission on June 30, 2004 . At January 31, 2005, the
Second Warrant could still be exercised for up to 2,000,000 shares at an
exercise price of $1.60 per share. In the event that the Investor is not
permitted to sell its Shares pursuant to the registration statement as a result
of a permitted Black-Out Period (as defined in the Registration Statement) being
exceeded or otherwise, then the Company will be obligated to pay the Investor
liquidated damages equal to 18% of the Investor's purchase price per annum.
The Corporation utilized the proceeds from the sale of its Common Stock for
general business purposes and to partially fund its acquisition strategy.
The Corporation granted the Investor the right of first refusal on subsequent
offerings of the Corporation's securities and has agreed to maintain a listing
of its common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board or another publicly traded market
and cause its common stock to continue to be registered under Section 12(b) or
(g) of the Exchange Act of 1934.
The net proceeds to the Corporation from the offering, after costs associated
with the offering, of $449,000 have been allocated among common stock and
warrants based upon their relative fair values. The Corporation used the
Black-Scholes pricing model to determine the fair value of the warrants to be
$287,000.
NOTE 12 - PREFERRED STOCK
At January 31, 2004, there were 6,000 shares of the Corporation's Series A
Preferred Stock outstanding. Cumulative dividends in arrears on the Series A
Preferred Stock were approximately $13,000 at January 31, 2004. In March 2004 in
conjunction with the private placement of the Corporation's common stock, as
discussed in Note 11, the remaining 6,000 shares of preferred stock were
converted into 24,000 shares Common Stock with the accrued but unpaid dividends
paid in cash.
NOTE 13 - SALE OF ST. LOUIS OPERATION AND SOUTHEAST TEXAS FIXED ASSETS AND
INVENTORY
On July 12, 2002, the Corporation entered into an agreement for the sale of
selected assets and assignment of contracts of the St. Louis operation. As
consideration for the sale, the Corporation was paid $380,000 in cash. The
Corporation recognized a gain of $273,000 from the sale of the St. Louis
operation in the second fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2002. Revenues of the St.
Louis operation for fiscal 2002 were $2.2 million. At January 31, 2003 a
goodwill impairment charge of $149,000 was made to reflect the termination of
operations at the St. Louis and Chicago locations, which were sold/closed,
respectively, during fiscal 2003.
In the third fiscal quarter of 2003, the Corporation sold certain fixed assets
and inventory associated with the southeast Texas operation for $110,000
resulting in a gain of $48,000. Revenues of the southeast Texas asbestos
operation for fiscal 2002 were approximately $4.4 million.
During fiscal 2005, the Corporation sold certain fixed assets for $131,000
resulting in a gain of $110,000.

NOTE 14 - GOODWILL
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended January 31,
2005 and 2004 are as follows:
2005 2004
---------- ----------
Balance, beginning of year $ 714,000 $ 433,000
Goodwill acquired during the year 624,000 281,000
Impairment losses - -
---------- ----------
$1,338,000 $ 714,000
========== ==========
Goodwill increased by $624,000 and $281,000 during the year ended January 31,
2005 and 2004, respectively, primarily due to the accrual of additional purchase
price consideration earned by the former owners of Tri-State Restoration, Inc.
("Tri-State") in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF 95-8")
"Accounting for Contingent Consideration Paid to the Shareholders of an Acquired
Enterprise in a Purchase Business Combination". The payment of contingent
consideration is based upon the operating income of the former Tri-State
operation and payable annually based upon operating results through May 31,
2005.
In conformance with SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," we
performed impairment tests based upon the third quarter balances. No impairments
were noted.
