ITEM 1. BUSINESS
BUSINESS
MPW is a leading provider of integrated, technically-based industrial
cleaning and related facilities support services to a broad array of industries,
primarily in North America. We divide our business into two business segments:
Industrial Facility Support Services and Industrial Filtration Products and
Services. Our Industrial Facilities Support Services segment provides a broad
range of services, including industrial cleaning and facility maintenance,
contamination control services for critical cleanroom environments, industrial
container cleaning and industrial process water purification. It serves
customers in manufacturing, utilities, semiconductor and other industries. Our
Industrial Filtration Products and Services segment provides air and liquid
filtration devices, filtration media and consumable products, as well as
engineering analysis to support comprehensive contamination control programs. It
serves primarily the automotive industry and other industrial customers.
INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES SUPPORT SERVICES SEGMENT
INDUSTRIAL CLEANING AND FACILITY MAINTENANCE. We believe that we are a
leading provider of industrial cleaning and facility maintenance in the
midwestern and southeastern United States. We provide industrial cleaning of and
facility maintenance services to critical operating equipment for industrial
customers primarily at their facilities. The typical industries served by this
service line include the automotive, utility, chemical, pulp and paper and steel
industries. We provide our industrial cleaning and facility maintenance services
on both a daily recurring basis and a project-by-project basis, as well as
pursuant to longer-term arrangements. Our services principally include: dry
vacuuming; wet vacuuming; industrial power washing; water blasting; ultra-high
pressure water blasting; cryojetic cleaning; and chemical cleaning. We also
provide support to our customers' ongoing maintenance of their facilities. Our
cleaning services help our customers to maximize the performance of their
production processes through effective cleaning, which leads to increased
efficiency and productivity in their facilities. These services, which we have
provided for over 27 years, accounted for 50.3% of our fiscal 1999 revenues.
CLEANROOM CLEANING AND RELATED SERVICES. We believe that we have become a
leading provider of technical services and cleaning to cleanroom environments in
the United States. In late 1998 and early 1999, we entered this new service line
through the acquisition of six companies, which have been combined into a single
2
4
subsidiary, Pentagon Technologies Group, Inc. We provide cleanroom cleaning,
both during construction and on an ongoing basis, testing and certification of
cleanroom environments, cleaning of critical operating equipment and equipment
parts for use in these environments and we sell related equipment and products
used in cleanroom environments. The industries we primarily serve are the
semiconductor, microelectronics, pharmaceutical, biotechnology and healthcare
industries. Companies in these industries tend to grow more rapidly than the
traditional industries we serve. Our cleanroom cleaning and related services
accounted for 8.8% of our fiscal 1999 revenues.
INDUSTRIAL CONTAINER CLEANING. We believe that we are the leading
container cleaner for automotive paint manufacturers in North America. The
automotive industry uses paint resin containers (called "totes") in the vehicle
painting process. Totes are large portable stainless steel or aluminum
containers that are filled with paint resin and are refilled after our cleaning
services are provided. We also provide container cleaning services to various
other industrial customers. This service line uses our patented cleaning systems
to perform services from two primary processing facilities located in Detroit,
Michigan and Cleveland, Ohio. Our industrial container cleaning services
accounted for 7.9% of our fiscal 1999 revenues.
INDUSTRIAL PROCESS WATER PURIFICATION. We believe that we are a leading
provider of industrial process water purification services in the midwestern
United States on both a scheduled and emergency basis. We provide pure feed
water to customers primarily in the utility, steel and automotive industries. We
process pure feed water for our customers through a mobile fleet of equipment
that allows us to perform temporary and permanent on-site servicing. We can also
provide water purification services on an emergency response basis when our
customers' existing water purification systems are temporarily out of service or
cannot meet the existing demand. We also offer purified water service exchange
services that involve the delivery and pickup of smaller tanks of purification
media and are an economical solution for small quantity requirements. Our
industrial process water purification services accounted for 3.8% of our fiscal
1999 revenues.
INDUSTRIAL FILTRATION PRODUCTS AND SERVICES SEGMENT
We believe that we are a leading provider of filtration products and
related services to paint systems in automotive assembly plants and to other
industrial facilities in North America. We are a major authorized distributor of
filters and filtration media and ancillary products used in the production
setting. We also provide engineering and consulting services through the
identification of various contaminant sources and the management of air and
liquid flow. In August 1998, we further expanded this service line into the
liquid filtration market. Our Industrial Filtration Products and Services
segment accounted for 29.2% of our fiscal 1999 revenues.
MARKETING
Our marketing and sales efforts focus on increasing the volume of current
services provided to existing customers, actively cross-marketing additional
services to our existing customer base and developing new customer
relationships.
INCREASING THE VOLUME OF SERVICES PROVIDED. We have full-time account
managers assigned to and stationed in our customers' facilities where we perform
work on an on-going basis. We also have division managers that serve in a
similar capacity in geographic areas in which we serve several customers. In
each case, these account and division managers are responsible for the
maintenance of our existing customer relationships and are in a position to
actively identify new opportunities within these facilities for additional
business. Monte R. Black, Ira O. Kane and each of the leaders of our service
lines are actively involved in supporting the efforts of these managers and
regularly attend meetings at customer facilities and visit our work-sites within
these facilities. Account managers and division managers are provided
incentives, both short and long-term, to continue to grow their businesses and
to seek cross-marketing opportunities within the facilities they serve.
CROSS-MARKETING. Each of our service lines has a strong management team
that is responsible for ensuring that we build our customer relationships on a
foundation of high-quality, responsive service. Our senior management teams
actively develop a thorough understanding of our customers' outsourcing needs
and make every effort to present innovative solutions to meet these needs. Once
a cross-marketing opportunity has been identified, the technical and sales
leadership of the service line being marketed takes the lead in supporting the
3
5
sales effort to the customer. In order to coordinate and increase the focus on
our cross-selling effort, in fiscal 1999, we hired C. Douglas Rockwell as Vice
President, New Business Strategies.
DEVELOPING NEW CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS. We attempt to visit and communicate
with facilities that we do not actively serve on a recurring basis. We presently
have sales managers located in our offices throughout the United States and we
use these individuals to manage the majority of these efforts. We support the
efforts of this sales force by involving our account, division and business unit
managers in circumstances where we have identified a strong opportunity to
provide services. We also market MPW's reputation and capabilities to plant
management within these facilities and to the corporate management of these
companies. In these cases, either Monte R. Black, Ira O. Kane or members of our
senior management team may participate in sales presentations.
CUSTOMERS
During fiscal 1999, we had sales to more than 1,200 customers and our ten
largest customers represented 42.6% of our revenues. General Motors Corporation
represented 15.6% of our fiscal 1999 revenues.
A substantial portion of our business operations are performed within our
customers' facilities utilizing our personnel and equipment to clean or maintain
their critical operating equipment. From these customers, we typically receive
most orders for our services on a job-by-job basis. In some instances we
maintain equipment at the locations of our customers that have issued to us
blanket purchase orders for the provision of services over an extended period.
These blanket orders do not obligate the customer to purchase a specified dollar
amount of services. Blanket orders permit us to be contracted to perform
services when needed. These blanket orders, in combination with the location of
our personnel and equipment, allow us to expedite our response to a particular
customer's needs and may constitute a competitive advantage versus service
providers without on-site equipment. We provide our services primarily at
prescribed rates or based upon competitive bidding and in some cases through
direct negotiation with the customer. In certain instances, we have developed an
ongoing daily or weekly presence within our customers' facilities which results
in a consistent level of service revenues. However, we generally do not have any
meaningful backlog of service orders and do not consider backlog to be an
important indicator of future performance.
In certain of our fixed-base facilities, we clean industrial paint
containers used by automobile paint manufacturers and critical equipment and
equipment parts utilized in the semiconductor manufacturing process. The
customers for whom we do this cleaning typically execute long-term agreements or
blanket orders that provide for consistent levels of business. In these
circumstances, we regularly communicate with such customers to identify and plan
for expected turnaround times and delivery schedules.
Our Industrial Filtration Products and Services segment receives a
substantial number of orders on a daily basis for the delivery of filtration
media and ancillary products used in their customers' automobile paint systems
and production environments. We maintain warehouses near significant customers
and maintain delivery programs from these warehouses to meet customer demands.
Certain customers have awarded us blanket purchase orders which do not obligate
them to purchase specified dollar amounts of our products. The blanket purchase
orders do provide specified unit pricing which allows customers to efficiently
place orders when such products are needed.
EMPLOYEES
As of June 30, 1999, we employed over 2,100 full-time employees. Our union
subsidiary based in Detroit, Michigan employed approximately 75 of these
employees. Our other employees do not belong to unions. We have not experienced
any work stoppages. We believe that our relations with our employees are good.
SAFETY, TRAINING AND QUALITY ASSURANCE
Performance of many of our services requires the use of equipment and
exposure to conditions that can be dangerous. Although we are committed to a
policy of operating safely and prudently, we have been and are subject to claims
by employees, customers and third parties for property damage and personal
injuries resulting from the performance of our services. To minimize these
risks, we have adopted broad training and educational
4
6
programs and comprehensive safety policies and regulations. We require that all
operational personnel complete applicable safety courses mandated by the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Environmental Protection Agency,
Department of Transportation and Mine Safety and Health Administration in areas
including hazard communication, protective equipment, confined space entry,
first aid, decontamination procedures and emergency response. In addition to
these mandated training courses, we require that water blast, dry and wet vacuum
and power wash operations personnel complete an MPW-designed hands-on skill
training program prior to commencing these activities. Our management regularly
monitors compliance with regulations promulgated by the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration and the other regulatory authorities and is responsible
for directing our overall safety, training, quality assurance and environmental
compliance programs. In addition, most of our service facilities have a
designated safety/training manager who has responsibility for overseeing our
safety policies and procedures at the facility.
COMPETITION
In each of our business segments, we believe that the principal competitive
factors are experience, capability, customer responsiveness and price
competitiveness. We believe that our principal competitive advantages are our
technically-based services, ongoing customer relationships, responsiveness to
customers and our quality of operational personnel. We position ourselves
competitively as a value leader and not a price leader, though it remains
necessary for us to price our services at levels where our customers will
achieve cost savings versus performing the same services themselves.
The market for industrial services is highly fragmented. There are many
competitors in each of our service lines, but we do not believe that there is
any competitor that offers all of the services we offer. Each of our business
segments compete with a number of companies in substantially all of the regions
in which they operate.
In the Industrial Facilities Support Services segment, our industrial
cleaning and maintenance service line competes with large national or regional
firms that are typically divisions or subsidiaries of engineering, construction
or other service firms and a large number of private firms with relatively few
customer relationships, and our industrial water purification service line
competes with large national water purification firms in its midwestern market
and also with smaller regional competitors. We believe we are the leading
provider of container cleaning services to the automotive paint manufacturers in
North America, but compete with smaller private companies in this market. There
are a few national janitorial firms that offer cleanroom cleaning services, but
we do not believe that these competitors offer the technical services in
connection with cleanroom cleaning services. There are many smaller companies
that offer cleanroom cleaning and related technical services, but they do so
only on a local or regional basis. In the Industrial Filtration Products and
Services segment, we compete with large manufacturers and national distributors
of filtration media and with smaller, generally private firms that provide
services on a regional basis similar to ours.
REGULATION
Our operations are subject to numerous rules and regulations at the
federal, state and local levels. All of our operations are subject to
regulations issued by the United States Department of Labor under the
Occupational Safety and Health Act. These regulations have strict requirements
for protecting employees involved with any materials that are classified as
hazardous.
As part of our industrial cleaning services, we provide support to our
customers for the management of their hazardous materials and other contaminants
generally in the form of assisting in the movement of these materials within
customers' facilities and, occasionally, assisting our customers in the
logistics of transporting hazardous materials, including advising customers on
the completion of waste manifests and providing customers with information
regarding permitted disposal facilities. We do not transport or dispose of these
hazardous materials, and we attempt to not take regulatory responsibility for
hazardous materials. We attempt to avoid any regulatory responsibility by not
taking title to any wastes as defined in the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act of 1976 and the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act.
5
7
As part of our industrial container cleaning operations, we manage some
solvents used in the cleaning process. Once they are used, these solvents are
sent by licensed transporters to licensed recycling facilities. We do not
believe that our current activities are subject to the regulations pertaining to
hazardous waste treatment, storage or disposal facilities or transporters of
these wastes.
Our employees typically work within the customer's operating facilities.
These work environments generally do not expose the customer's employees or our
employees to hazardous materials beyond levels allowed by applicable
regulations. Our employees also generally do not perform work that requires any
direct contact with harmful materials. Occasionally, as part of our support
services, our employees may, at a customer's request, move hazardous materials
within the customer's facility. In addition, some of our more specialized
cleaning procedures may require our employees to work near hazardous materials.
Before any of this type of work is commenced, however, a complete survey of the
material is performed and a health and safety plan with respect to the material
is developed and implemented. Our employees are required to perform this type of
work only with the proper protective equipment and training.
We maintain a full-time staff of safety and environmental specialists to
ensure that our personnel operate in safe conditions and are properly protected
against harmful exposure. The staff of specialists design training materials,
develop safety and environmental policies and materials, conduct training
classes for employees regarding compliance with governmental regulations and our
procedures, conduct environmental and safety audits at our work sites and
monitor safety and environmental compliance at onsite customer locations.
We believe that we have obtained the permits and licenses required to
perform our business and believe that we are in substantial compliance with all
federal, state and local laws and regulations governing our business. To date,
we have not been subject to any significant fines, penalties or other
liabilities under these laws and regulations. However, no assurance can be given
that future changes in these law and regulations, or interpretations thereof,
will not have an adverse impact on our operations.
INSURANCE
Much of the work we perform is pursuant to contracts that require us to
indemnify the customer for injury or damage occurring on the work site. The
terms of these indemnity agreements vary, but generally they provide that we are
required to indemnify the customer for losses resulting from or incurred in
connection with actions in providing our services whether or not we have been
negligent. Liability for these indemnification claims is covered primarily by
our insurance policies.
Although we believe that our insurance coverage is consistent with industry
practice, there are exclusions for matters of environmental pollution and other
types of environmental damage claims. An uninsured or partially insured claim,
if successful and of sufficient magnitude, could have a material adverse effect
on us or our financial condition.
INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS
WE FACE THE COMPETITIVE PRESSURES OF A HIGHLY FRAGMENTED INDUSTRY. The
industrial services industry is highly competitive and fragmented. Companies
compete on the basis of the quality of services provided, responsiveness to
customers, ability to provide services, range of services offered and price. One
or more of the larger national or regional industrial services companies, as
well as numerous local industrial services companies of varying sizes and
resources, serve each of the geographic markets in which we compete or will
likely compete. The larger industrial services companies may have significantly
greater financial and other resources than us. In addition, many smaller
industrial services companies exist or are formed to serve only one or
relatively few customers. From time to time, these or other competitors may
reduce the price of their services in an effort to expand market share or
protect existing business. These practices may either require us to reduce the
pricing of our services or lose business. We expect that competition will remain
high or increase in the future, and we cannot be certain that we will continue
to compete successfully.
WE MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF CUSTOMERS REDUCE THEIR OUTSOURCING OR USE
OF PREFERRED VENDORS. Our business and growth strategies depend in large part on
the continuation of a trend toward outsourcing
6
8
industrial services. The decision to outsource depends upon customer perceptions
that outsourcing may provide higher quality services at a lower overall cost and
permit customers to focus on core business activities. We cannot be certain that
this trend will continue or not be reversed or that customers that have
outsourced functions will not decide to perform these functions themselves. In
addition, labor unions representing employees of some of our current and
prospective customers have generally opposed the outsourcing trend and sought to
direct to union employees the performance of the types of services we offer. In
addition, management has identified a trend among some of our customers toward
the retention of a limited number of preferred vendors to provide all or a large
part of their required facility services. We cannot be certain that this trend
will continue or not be reversed or, if it does continue, that we will be
selected and retained as a preferred vendor to provide these services. Adverse
developments with respect to either of these trends would have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
WE WOULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF WE LOSE KEY CUSTOMERS. In fiscal 1999,
our ten largest customers represented 42.6% our revenues. General Motors
Corporation represented 15.6% of our revenues. Our customers may terminate or
modify substantially all of our arrangements to perform services for them at
will and without penalty. Our loss of, and failure to replace the revenues from,
one or more large customers or the loss of a significant number of customers
could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
THE BUSINESS CYCLES OF OUR CUSTOMERS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR
REVENUES. Many of our significant customers operate in industries, such as the
automotive, steel, semiconductor, pulp and paper and utilities industries, which
are subject to work stoppages and slowdowns and have historically shown
sensitivity to recessions and other adverse conditions in the general economy.
In fiscal 1999 automotive manufacturers generated 39.5% of our revenues,
adjusted to include the full year effect of acquired entities in the year. A
general or regional economic downturn or a work stoppage at one of our
significant customers could have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations and financial condition.
WE MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF WE ARE UNABLE TO MAINTAIN AN ADEQUATE
WORKFORCE. Our business is labor intensive and we could be adversely affected
if we fail to maintain an adequate workforce. A large majority of our workforce
is comprised of hourly workers and we incur substantial expenses for recruiting
and training new personnel. The current low unemployment rate in some geographic
areas in which we operate has contracted the labor pool available to us in those
areas. We have historically experienced a high level of turnover, and there can
be no assurance that we will be able to successfully attract and retain
employees. As a result of a shortage in the supply of hourly workers, we may not
be able to maintain a labor force adequate to operate efficiently, our labor
expenses may increase or we may have to curtail our growth strategy.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MANAGE OUR GROWTH. We have experienced rapid growth
in recent periods and intend to continue to pursue an aggressive growth
strategy, both through internal expansion of products and services and
acquisitions. We cannot be certain that our systems, procedures and controls
will be adequate to support our operations as they expand. Our growth to date
has placed, and could continue to place, significant demands on our
administrative and operational resources. We may not be able to grow effectively
or manage any growth successfully, and the failure to do so could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COMPLETE SUFFICIENT ACQUISITIONS TO ACHIEVE OUR
ACQUISITION STRATEGY. One of our principal growth strategies is to increase our
revenues, the markets we serve and our service capabilities through the
acquisition of businesses that compliment or expand our existing operations. We
expect to face competition for acquisition candidates, which may limit the
number of acquisition opportunities and may lead to higher acquisition prices
that we may not be able to justify or finance. Failure to implement our
acquisition strategy successfully may limit our potential growth.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY MANAGE OUR ACQUISITIONS. We cannot be
sure that we can add new businesses to our existing operations without
substantial costs, delays or other operational or financial problems.
Acquisitions involve a number of special risks that could materially and
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
For example, these risks include a failure to maintain customer relationships
and the diversion of our management's attention from operational matters. We
also could be affected by our
7
9
inability to retain key personnel of the acquired businesses and risks
associated with unanticipated events or liabilities.
Customer dissatisfaction or performance problems at one of our acquired
businesses could materially and adversely affect the reputation of our entire
company.
OUR QUARTERLY RESULTS FLUCTUATE WHICH MAY IMPACT OUR STOCK PRICE. Our
quarterly results of operations may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors
over which we have no control, including our customers' budgetary constraints,
the timing and duration of our customers' planned maintenance activities and
shutdowns and changes in our competitors' pricing policies. Also, some operating
and fixed costs remain relatively constant throughout the fiscal year, which
when offset by differing levels of revenues, may result in fluctuations in
quarterly operating results. Our results of operations tend to vary seasonally,
with the third quarter generating the least amount of revenues, higher revenues
in the second quarter and the greatest amount of revenues in the first and
fourth quarters. As a result, our financial performance can vary significantly
from quarter to quarter, which could have an impact on our stock price.
A FAILURE TO RETAIN OUR SENIOR MANAGEMENT COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON
OUR BUSINESS. Our business is largely dependent upon the efforts of the members
of our senior management team, particularly Monte R. Black, Chairman of the
Board and Chief Executive Officer and Ira O. Kane, President and Chief Operating
Officer. If these executive officers or other officers of MPW do not continue in
their present positions, or if a material number of other managers fail to
continue with MPW, our business could be adversely affected.
OUR CONCENTRATION OF VOTING POWER AND LEGAL BARRIERS MAY LIMIT TAKEOVER
OPPORTUNITIES. Effective control of MPW by Monte R. Black, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer, as well as statutory provisions of Ohio law and our Articles
of Incorporation and Code of Regulations, may have the effect of deterring
hostile takeovers or delaying or preventing changes in control or changes in
management of MPW, including transactions in which our shareholders might
otherwise receive a premium over the then current market price for their shares.
Voting Control
Mr. Black owns beneficially, directly and indirectly, approximately 58% of
the outstanding common stock. Accordingly, Mr. Black will be able to
exercise effective control over MPW's affairs, the election of individuals
to the Board of Directors and the outcome of other matters submitted to a
vote of shareholders.
Articles of Incorporation and Code of Regulations
Our Articles of Incorporation and Code of Regulations include the
requirement of certain supermajority votes and the establishment of certain
advance notice procedures for nomination of candidates for election as
directors and for shareholder proposals to be considered at shareholders'
meetings. Our Board of Directors also has authority to issue one or more
series of preferred stock without further shareholder approval and upon
terms it determines. Issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect
holders of the common stock in the event of liquidation or delay, defer or
prevent an attempt to obtain control of MPW by means of a tender offer,
merger, proxy contest or otherwise.
Ohio Law
Section 1701.831 of the Ohio General Corporation Law contains provisions
that require shareholder approval of any proposed "control share
acquisition" of any Ohio corporation. Furthermore, Chapter 1704 of the Ohio
General Corporation Law contains provisions that restrict some business
combinations and other transactions between an Ohio corporation and
interested shareholders.
ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS. Although we
attempt not to take responsibility for, nor transport or dispose of, hazardous
materials generated by our customers in the normal course of our business, we do
provide support to our customers for the management of their hazardous
materials. This support includes some on-site movement and packaging of our
customers' hazardous materials and logistical support for our customers'
transportation and disposal of hazardous materials. In addition, some of our
more specialized cleaning procedures may require our employees to work near
hazardous materials. In performing these services,
8
10
we could potentially be liable to third parties or their employees for various
claims for property damage or personal injury stemming from a release of
hazardous substances or otherwise. Personal injury claims could arise
contemporaneously with performance of the work or long after completion of the
project as a result of alleged exposure to toxic substances. A large number of
these claims or one or more claim that results in a significant liability to us
could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
WE MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF WE EXPAND OUR INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS. We
generate a portion of our revenues from services we provide outside of the
United States. We may increase our presence outside of the United States.
Conducting business outside of the United States is subject to various risks,
including longer payment cycles, unexpected changes in regulatory requirements
and tariffs, difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations and
greater difficulty in accounts receivable collection.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE PROBLEMS OF OUR CUSTOMERS AND VENDORS COULD ADVERSELY
AFFECT OUR BUSINESS. Many currently installed computer systems and software
products are coded to accept only two-digit entries in the date code field.
Beginning in the year 2000, these date code fields will need to accept
four-digit entries to distinguish 21st century dates from 20th century dates. As
a result, computer system and software used by many companies may need to be
upgraded to comply with the "Year 2000" requirements. We cannot be certain that
unexpected Year 2000 compliance problems of our systems or of our vendors,
customers and service providers will not materially and adversely affect our
business, financial condition or operating results. The unanticipated failure of
one of these systems to properly recognize date information beyond the year 1999
could have a significant adverse impact on our ability to deliver services to
customers and to manage our continuing operations.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our
Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included elsewhere in this
Form 10-K.
OVERVIEW
Since our fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, several events have occurred
that affect the comparability of our results of operations from period to
period. These events include:
UNUSUAL EVENTS IN FISCAL 1999 In late June 1998 and through July 1998,
General Motors experienced a strike. The strike affected our operations
primarily at our industrial filtration management and our industrial container
cleaning service lines.
In March 1999, we experienced a fire at our Austin, Texas facility. This
facility provided parts cleaning within the cleanroom services service line. The
fire caused the facility, and most equipment within the facility, to be
unusable. A portion of the business from this facility was temporarily
transferred to our Hopewell Junction, New York facility and the remainder was
temporarily lost to other service providers. We have obtained a new site for the
Austin facility and completed construction in August 1999. We expect that the
new facility will ramp up to pre-fire business levels in the second quarter of
fiscal 2000.
ACQUISITIONS. Since October 1997, we have acquired 14 businesses that
represent an aggregate increase in our revenues of approximately $73.0 million.
We agreed to pay an aggregate consideration for these businesses of
approximately $62.0 million, which included cash, common stock, preferred stock
of one of our subsidiaries and contingent consideration for future performance.
We accounted for each of these acquisitions using the purchase method of
accounting and each are included in our results of operations only from the date
of acquisition.
The table below provides information regarding our 14 completed
acquisitions. Six of these acquisitions related to our entry in late 1998 into a
new service line that provides technical cleaning and related services to
cleanroom environments. The six companies have been combined into a single
subsidiary of MPW, Pentagon Technologies Group, Inc.

As a result of these acquisitions, we do not believe that our results of
operations are necessarily comparable on a period to period basis. Our
discussion of results of operations below should be read in conjunction with our
Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes where each of these
acquisitions has been described in more detail.
INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING. On December 2, 1997, we completed our initial
public offering. We issued 3,987,500 shares of our common stock in this
offering, including the over-allotment option, at $9.00 per share. The net
proceeds to us were $32.1 million.
During the period in fiscal 1998 leading up to our initial public offering
and at the time of our initial public offering, numerous events occurred and we
recorded certain transactions as described below:
- We terminated the S Corporation election for tax purposes of a subsidiary
of MPW and paid a distribution of $21.2 million. As a result of this
termination, we recorded a net non-recurring tax benefit of $702,000 and
a related current deferred tax asset and noncurrent deferred tax
liability of $2.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively.
- We recorded a non-cash, non-recurring charge of $1.9 million, net of tax,
associated with some of our stock option plans. We also eliminated the
related deferred stock option compensation liability previously recorded
because our repurchase obligation for stock options exercised under these
stock option plans was eliminated with our initial public offering.
- We adjusted the historical lease costs for some facilities leased by us
from related parties and recharacterized these leases from capital to
operating because of restructured lease agreements.
- We purchased the remaining minority stock ownership interests in one of
our subsidiaries.
- We repaid $15.9 million of our outstanding liabilities to our principal
banks using some of the net proceeds from our initial public offering.
The following adjusted pro forma information eliminates the non-recurring
events and gives consideration to the remaining events discussed above relating
to our initial public offering. Our discussion of results of operations below
utilizes this adjusted pro forma information in order to make each of the
periods more comparable.

GENERAL
We primarily derive our revenues from services under time and materials,
fixed price and unit price contracts. We recognize revenues from time and
materials type contracts based on performance and efforts expended. We record
revenues from non-contract activities as we perform services or sell goods.
Cost of services includes all direct labor, materials, subcontractor and
other costs related to the performance of our services. Cost of services also
includes all costs associated with our operating equipment, excluding
depreciation and amortization.
Selling, general and administrative expenses include management salaries,
clerical and administrative overhead, professional services, costs associated
with marketing and sales efforts and costs associated with our information
systems.
Depreciation and amortization consists of depreciation of operating
equipment and amortization of capital leases and intangible assets. Depreciation
is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
property and equipment. We amortize capital leases on a straight-line basis over
the lease term and goodwill and other intangibles on a straight-line basis over
periods not exceeding 25 years. Effective July 1, 1996, we changed the estimates
of the useful lives of some of our property and equipment to more accurately
reflect our actual history of useful lives.

FISCAL 1999 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1998
BASIS OF PRESENTATION. Our analysis of fiscal 1999 compared to fiscal 1998
utilizes actual information for fiscal 1999 and adjusted pro forma information
for fiscal 1998 as provided in the tables above.
REVENUES. Revenues increased by $53.8 million, or 57.6%, to $147.2 million
in fiscal 1999 from $93.4 million in fiscal 1998. This increase is primarily due
to the 14 acquisitions that were completed since October 1, 1997, which
contributed an aggregate of $43.0 million of revenues. Despite the impact of the
General Motors strike, the internal rate of growth in revenues in fiscal 1999
was 11.5%.
Revenues in the Industrial Facilities Support Services segment increased by
$32.7 million, or 45.8%, to $104.2 million in fiscal 1999 from $71.5 million in
fiscal 1998. This increase is primarily the result of the acquisitions noted
above, which contributed an aggregate of $25.2 million of revenues. The internal
rate of growth in revenues for this segment in fiscal 1999 was 10.5%.
Revenues in the Industrial Filtration Products and Services segment
increased by $21.1 million, or 96.0%, to $43.0 million in fiscal 1999 from $22.0
million in fiscal 1998. This increase is primarily the result of the
acquisitions noted above, which contributed an aggregate of $17.9 million of
revenues. The internal rate of growth in revenues for this segment in fiscal
1999 was 14.7%.
COST OF SERVICES. Cost of services increased by $36.1 million, or 57.3%,
to $99.1 million in fiscal 1999 from $63.0 million in fiscal 1998. Cost of
services as a percentage of revenues decreased to 67.3% in fiscal 1999 from
67.5% in fiscal 1998. The decrease in cost of services as a percentage of
revenues is the result of improved operating efficiencies in our filtration
management and container cleaning service lines offset by the loss of revenues
related to the General Motors strike and the fire at our Austin facility.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased by $9.6 million, or 57.4%, to $26.3 million in
fiscal 1999 from $16.7 million in fiscal 1998. As a percentage of revenues,
selling, general and administrative expenses were 17.9% in both fiscal 1999 and
1998. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily
due to the overhead costs assumed in the 14 acquisitions noted above, costs
associated with our status as a public company and other investments in our
infrastructure to support overall growth.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization increased by
$3.3 million, or 91.4%, to $6.8 million in fiscal 1999 from $3.6 million in
fiscal 1998. Depreciation and amortization increased as a percentage of revenues
to 4.7% in fiscal 1999 from 3.8% in fiscal 1998. This increase is a result of
additional
16
18
goodwill and other intangible assets arising out of the 14 acquisitions noted
above and additional capital expenditures related to our growth.
INCOME AND OPERATIONS. Income from operations increased by $4.8 million,
or 47.7%, to $14.9 million in fiscal 1999 from $10.1 million in fiscal 1998.
Income from operations decreased as a percentage of revenues to 10.1% in fiscal
1999 from 10.8% in fiscal 1998. The increase in income from operations is due to
the factors discussed above. The decrease in operating margin is related to the
General Motors strike and the fire at our Austin facility. We believe that in
the absence of these two events, the operating margin would have approximated
that of fiscal 1998.
Income from operations in the Industrial Facilities Support Services
segment increased by $4.1 million, or 30.6%, to $17.3 million in fiscal 1999
from $13.2 million in fiscal 1998. This increase is primarily the result of
strong internal growth, improved operating efficiencies in our industrial
container cleaning service line and the acquisitions noted above. Income from
operations decreased as a percentage of revenues to 16.6% in fiscal 1999 from
18.5% in fiscal 1998. This decrease in operating margin is due to the lost
revenues related to the General Motors strike and the fire at our Austin
facility offset by the improved operating efficiencies in our industrial
container cleaning service line.
Income from operations in the Industrial Filtration Products and Services
segment increased by $2.2 million, or 112.5%, to $4.2 million in fiscal 1999
from $2.0 million in fiscal 1998. Income from operations increased as a
percentage of revenues to 9.7% in fiscal 1999 from 9.0% in fiscal 1998. This
increase in operating margin is due to improved operating and administrative
efficiencies within this segment.
INTEREST EXPENSE, NET. Immediately following our initial public offering,
we had no borrowings under our previous credit facility with our banks. For this
reason, interest expense has been eliminated in the adjusted pro forma
information through the first five months of fiscal 1998 to give effect as if
the repayment of our debt obligations from the proceeds of our initial public
offering had occurred as of the beginning of the period. Reported interest
expense in fiscal 1999 is the result of new borrowings subsequent to our initial
public offering, primarily resulting from the 14 acquisitions noted above.
PROVISIONS FOR INCOME TAXES. Prior to October 31, 1997, MPW Industrial
Services, Inc. was an S Corporation for income tax purposes and did not record a
provision for federal and some state income taxes. The provision for income
taxes in fiscal 1999 and in the adjusted pro forma information for fiscal 1998
reflects an effective rate of 40%.
NET INCOME AND NET INCOME PER SHARE. Net income increased by $1.0 million,
or 17.3%, to $6.9 million in fiscal 1999 from $5.9 million in fiscal 1998.
Assuming dilution, net income per share increased to $0.60 in fiscal 1999 from
$0.54 in fiscal 1998. These increases are due to the factors discussed above.
Weighted average common shares outstanding used in the calculation of net income
per share for fiscal 1998 assumes that our initial public offering and
repurchase of minority interests had occurred at the beginning of the period.
FISCAL 1998 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1997
BASIS OF PRESENTATION. Our analysis of fiscal 1998 compared to fiscal 1997
utilizes the adjusted pro forma information as provided in the tables above.
REVENUES. Revenues increased by $20.5 million, or 28.1%, to $93.4 million
in fiscal 1998 from $72.9 million in fiscal 1997. The internal rate of growth in
revenues in fiscal 1998 was 18.5%. Our internal growth was aided by new
customers, cross-marketing and an expansion of services to existing customers
and geographic expansion. Revenues also increased in fiscal 1998 as a result of
the four acquisitions completed in fiscal 1998.
Revenues in the Industrial Facilities Support Services segment increased by
$9.8 million, or 16.0%, to $71.5 million in fiscal 1998 from $61.6 million in
fiscal 1997. The internal rate of growth in revenues for this segment in fiscal
1998 was 13.3%. The remaining increase is the result of the acquisitions noted
above, which contributed an aggregate of $1.6 million of revenues.
Revenues in the Industrial Filtration Products and Services segment
increased by $10.7 million, or 94.5%, to $22.0 million in fiscal 1998 from $11.3
million in fiscal 1997. This increase is primarily the result of the
17
19
acquisition noted above, which contributed an aggregate of $5.4 million of
revenues. The internal rate of growth in revenues for this segment in fiscal
1998 was 46.9%.
COST OF SERVICES. Cost of services increased by $14.6 million, or 30.0%,
to $63.0 million in fiscal 1998 from $48.5 million in fiscal 1997. Cost of
services as a percentage of revenues increased to 67.5% in fiscal 1998 from
66.5% in fiscal 1997. The increase in cost of services as a percentage of
revenues is the result of a greater percentage of revenues being derived in
fiscal 1998 from our industrial filtration management customers and from some of
our industrial cleaning and facility maintenance customers from which we
experienced lower margins as compared to fiscal 1997.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased by $2.4 million, or 16.8%, to $16.7 million in
fiscal 1998 from $14.3 million in fiscal 1997. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of revenues to 17.9% in fiscal
1998 from 19.6% in fiscal 1997. The increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses is primarily due to the four acquisitions completed in
fiscal 1998, costs associated with our status as a public company and other
investments in our infrastructure to support overall growth.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization increased by
$535,000, or 17.6%, to $3.6 million in fiscal 1998 from $3.0 million in fiscal
1997. This increase is a result of additional capital expenditures relating to
our growth and additional goodwill arising out of the four acquisitions
completed in fiscal 1998. Depreciation and amortization decreased as a
percentage of revenues to 3.8% in fiscal 1998 from 4.2% in fiscal 1997. This
decrease as a percentage of revenues is primarily due to revenue growth in the
industrial container cleaning and industrial water service lines for which
capital investments were made in prior years and to growth in revenues in our
filtration management service line that requires less capital investment than
our other service lines.
INCOME FROM OPERATIONS. Income from operations increased by $3.0 million,
or 42.6%, to $10.1 million in fiscal 1998 from $7.1 million in fiscal 1997.
Income from operations also increased as a percentage of revenues to 10.8% in
fiscal 1998 from 9.7% in fiscal 1997. The increase in income from operations and
the improved operating margin are due to the factors discussed above.
Income from operations in the Industrial Facilities Support Services
segment increased by $2.1 million or 19.2%, to $13.2 million in fiscal 1998 from
$11.1 million in fiscal 1997. Income from operations increased as a percentage
of revenues to 18.5% in fiscal 1998 from 18.0% in fiscal 1997. This increase in
operating margin is due to the leveraging of investments we made in this segment
during fiscal 1997 and 1998 that were made to support this segment's planned
growth and improvements in administrative efficiencies offset by the margins we
experienced in some of our industrial cleaning and facility maintenance
customers.
Income from operations in the Industrial Filtration Products and Services
segment increased by $1.0 million, or 104.7%, to $2.0 million in fiscal 1998
from $1.0 million in fiscal 1997. Income from operations increased as a
percentage of revenues to 9.0% in fiscal 1998 from 8.5% in fiscal 1997. This
increase in operating margin is due to improved operating efficiencies within
this segment.
INTEREST EXPENSE, NET. Immediately following our initial public offering,
we had no borrowings under our prior credit facility with our banks. For this
reason, interest expense has been eliminated in the adjusted pro forma
information in fiscal 1997 and through the first five months of fiscal 1998 to
give effect as if the repayment of our debt obligations from the proceeds of our
initial public offering had occurred as of the beginning of each period.
Adjusted pro forma interest expense in fiscal 1998 is the result of new
borrowings subsequent to our initial public offering, primarily resulting from
the four acquisitions completed in fiscal 1998.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. Prior to October 31, 1997, MPW Industrial
Services, Inc. was an S Corporation for income tax purposes and did not record a
provision for federal and some state income taxes. The provision for income
taxes in the adjusted pro forma information reflects an effective rate of 40%
for each of the periods presented prior to our initial public offering.
NET INCOME AND NET INCOME PER SHARE. Net income increased by $1.6 million,
or 38.0%, to $5.9 million in fiscal 1998 from $4.3 million in fiscal 1997.
Assuming dilution, net income per share increased to $0.54 in
18
20
fiscal 1998 from $0.40 in fiscal 1997. These increases are due to the factors
discussed above. Weighted average common shares outstanding used in the
calculation of net income per share for fiscal 1997 and 1998 assumes that our
initial public offering and repurchase of minority interests had occurred at the
beginning of each of the periods presented.
QUARTERLY RESULTS AND SEASONALITY
Our results of operations tend to vary seasonally, with the least amount of
revenues generated in the third quarter, higher revenues in the second quarter
and the greatest amount of revenues in the first and fourth quarters. Our
quarterly results of operations may fluctuate significantly as a result of a
number of factors over which we have no control, including our customers'
budgetary constraints, the timing and duration of our customers' planned
maintenance activities and shutdowns, changes in our competitors pricing
policies and general economic conditions. Also, some operating and fixed costs
remain relatively constant throughout the fiscal year that, when offset by
differing levels of revenues, may result in fluctuations in quarterly results.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 1999, we had cash and cash equivalents of $318,000 and
working capital of $28.3 million. During fiscal 1999, we used $1.4 million for
operating activities and made capital investments of $14.5 million, net of the
insurance reimbursement for capital items destroyed in the fire at our Austin
facility.
During the period following our initial public offering through June 30,
1998, we borrowed $15.9 million primarily for the four acquisitions completed in
fiscal 1998 and for working capital needs. During fiscal 1999, we completed ten
acquisitions that required an aggregate of $29.3 million in cash and the
issuance of 272,298 shares of our common stock.
The borrowings under our revolving credit facility reached $64.6 million as
of June 30, 1999. Subsequent to June 30, 1999, we completed one additional
acquisition that required an aggregate of $2.0 million in cash. Our current
borrowings under our revolving credit facility are approximately $73.0 million.
Subsequent to our initial public offering, we initially operated under our
previous credit facility with our principal banks, which, as amended, provided
us with $50.0 million of credit availability. Effective November 2, 1998, we
entered into our existing credit facility to replace our previous credit
facility. The current credit facility, as amended, provides us with $85.0
million of revolving credit availability for a three-year period, subject to
extension by the banks each year on the anniversary of the agreement. Under the
terms of our current credit facility, the entire $85.0 million is available for
general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures and
acquisitions. Borrowing under our current credit facility is at rates, based on
the prime or Eurodollar rate, that we believe to be very favorable. Availability
of borrowing is subject to the maintenance of a minimum level of net worth,
specific levels of interest coverage and maintenance of a specific ratio of
funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
that we believe will not affect the availability of borrowings under our current
credit facility.
We intend to continue our strategy of supplementing our internal growth and
expanding our service offerings through acquisitions. We continue to explore
acquisition opportunities and we currently have agreements in principle to
purchase other companies that may require the utilization of up to an aggregate
of $4.5 million in cash.
We believe that cash on hand as of June 30, 1999, cash flow from operations
and available borrowings under our credit facility will be sufficient to fund
our currently planned capital projects, potential acquisitions and operations
for the foreseeable future. If sufficient acquisition opportunities of
significant size develop that would extend our borrowing beyond the capacity of
our credit facility, we may be required to obtain additional financing.
YEAR 2000 ISSUE
Many computer systems in use today were designed and developed using two
digits, rather than four, to specify the year. As a result, such systems will
recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year
19
21
2000. This could cause many computer applications to fail completely or to
create erroneous results unless corrective measures are taken.
We recognize the need to ensure that year 2000 software failures will not
adversely impact our operations. Our main information technology (IT) operating
and financial system became year 2000 compliant effective with a normal software
upgrade completed in December 1997. We have identified major areas of potential
business impact from other IT systems and non-IT devices and initial conversions
through normal upgrades and replacements are underway and expected to be
completed by October 31, 1999. Non-IT devices include our machinery and
equipment used to deliver services. These are not materially reliant on embedded
technology potentially impacted by the year 2000 issue. We expect the cost of
achieving year 2000 compliance for the remaining IT systems and non-IT devices
is to be less than $100,000 over the cost of normal software upgrades and
replacements.
We are not materially reliant on third party systems (e.g. electronic data
interchange) to conduct business. In addition, we have initiated communications
with significant vendors, customers and other third parties to confirm their
plans to become year 2000 ready and assess any possible risk to or effects on
our operations. The responses from these third parties are being evaluated and
incorporated into the current detailed assessment scheduled to be completed by
September 30, 1999. We intend to develop contingency plans for significant third
parties determined to be at high risk of noncompliance or business disruption as
well as continue to monitor during 1999 the progress of those third parties that
could materially affect the operations of MPW. There can be no assurance that we
will correctly anticipate the level, impact or duration of noncompliance by
third parties, or that our contingency plan will be sufficient to mitigate the
impact.
INFLATION
The effects of inflation on our operations were not significant during the
periods presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to certain market risks from transactions that are entered
into during the normal course of business. We have not entered into derivative
financial instruments for trading purposes. Our primary market risk exposure
relates to interest rate risk. We have a balance of $64.6 million on our
revolving credit facility at June 30, 1999, which is subject to a variable rate
of interest based on the prime or Eurodollar rate. Assuming borrowings at June
30, 1999, a one hundred basis point change in interest rates would impact net
interest expense by approximately $646,000 per year.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors
MPW Industrial Services Group, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MPW
Industrial Services Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1998 and 1999,
and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders'
equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30,
1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosure 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 MPW Industrial
Services Group, Inc. and subsidiaries at June 30, 1998 and 1999, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended June 30, 1999, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997, 1998 AND 1999)
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS MPW Industrial Services
Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") provide technically-based
services, including industrial cleaning and facility maintenance, industrial
filtration management, cleanroom cleaning and related services, industrial
container cleaning and industrial process water purification. Such services are
primarily provided at customer facilities. The Company serves customers in
numerous industries including automotive, electric power, pulp and paper,
chemical, steel, transportation, semiconductor, microelectronics and
pharmaceutical. The Company provides services primarily throughout the United
States, Mexico and Canada.
From November 1998 through January 1999, the Company entered into a new
service line effective with its acquisitions of six technical cleanroom cleaning
and related services companies (see Note 3 below for further information about
the individual acquisitions). These six acquisitions were made by a newly
created, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Pentagon Technologies Group,
Inc. ("Pentagon").
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Aquatech
Environmental, Inc. ("Aquatech"), which was 70% owned by the Company until
December 5, 1997, at which time the Company purchased the remaining minority
shareholders' interests of Aquatech, and it became wholly-owned. The minority
shareholders' interests in the equity and net income of Aquatech are presented
separately in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the periods
through December 4, 1997. All material intercompany transactions and balances
have been eliminated in consolidation.
REVENUES AND COST RECOGNITION The Company primarily derives its revenues
from services under time and materials, fixed price and unit price contracts.
Revenues from time and materials type contracts are recorded based on
performance and efforts expended. Contract costs include all direct labor,
material, per diem, subcontract and other direct and indirect project costs
related to contract performance. Revenues derived from non-contract activities
are recorded as services are performed or goods are sold.
INVENTORIES Inventories, primarily consisting of products purchased for
resale and operating supplies, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost
is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment, including assets under
capital leases, are recorded at cost and include expenditures which
substantially increase the useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs
that do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are expensed as
incurred. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the
respective assets using the straight-line method. Amortization of capital leases
is provided over the lease terms using the straight-line method.
Depreciation and amortization on the Company's property and equipment has
been computed based on the following useful lives:
YEARS
-------
Buildings and improvements.................................. 5 to 30
Motor vehicles and transportation equipment................. 3 to 10
Machinery and equipment..................................... 3 to 8
Furniture and fixtures...................................... 5 to 7
INTANGIBLES Intangibles include costs in excess of net assets of acquired
businesses ("goodwill") of $15,115,000 and $42,318,000 and other intangible
assets of $399,000 and $8,628,000 as of June 30, 1998 and 1999, respectively.
Goodwill, resulting primarily from certain acquisitions accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting, is amortized on a straight-line basis over
periods not exceeding 25 years. Other intangible assets include patents,
covenants not-to-compete and customer lists and are amortized on a straight-line
basis over
26

MPW INDUSTRIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
periods ranging from 5 to 20 years. Accumulated amortization of intangibles as
of June 30, 1998 and 1999 was $580,000 and $2,265,000, respectively.
MINORITY INTEREST Minority interest as of June 30, 1999 represents certain
equity interests in Pentagon that were issued in connection with certain of its
recent acquisitions. These equity interests are in the form of a preferred stock
of Pentagon. The amount presented in the balance sheet as of June 30, 1999
represents the estimated value of the preferred stock based on 17% of the
underlying equity of Pentagon. See Note 12.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Financial instruments consist primarily of cash,
accounts receivable, accounts payable and long-term debt. The carrying value of
all financial instruments at June 30, 1998 and 1999 approximated their fair
value.
INCOME TAXES The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This accounting standard
requires that the liability method be used in accounting for income taxes. Under
this accounting method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based
on the differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of
assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws
that apply in the periods in which the deferred tax asset or liability is
expected to be realized or settled.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting
Comprehensive Income, which requires that an enterprise report the change in its
equity during the period from non-owner sources as other comprehensive income.
The Company has evaluated the statement and determined that the only item in

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
allotment option, were $33,375,000 before deducting expenses of $1,282,000. The
following is a summary of transactions related to the Offering:
RESTRUCTURING OF THE COMPANY AND TERMINATION OF INDUSTRIAL'S S CORPORATION
STATUS
In connection with the Offering, effective October 31, 1997, MPW Industrial
Services, Inc. ("Industrial") and its subsidiaries were restructured resulting
in the creation of the Company. In connection with this restructuring,
Industrial's S Corporation status was terminated. Prior to this termination,
Industrial made a distribution to the S Corporation shareholders in the amount
of $21,200,000 for undistributed earnings associated with Industrial's S
Corporation status. These distributions were made through Industrial's issuance
of promissory notes to such shareholders (the "AAA Notes"), of which $13,400,000
was subsequently paid off with the Offering proceeds. The remaining $7,800,000
was paid as follows: (i) $4,200,000 in cash on April 15, 1998 and (ii)
$3,600,000 redeemed in connection with the sale of a corporate aircraft to an
entity controlled by the Company's principal shareholder.
Also in connection with this restructuring, the outstanding shares of
Industrial were exchanged for common shares of the Company, and subsequently
subject to a 4 for 1 stock split. The authorized capital stock of the Company
consists of 5,000,000 preferred shares, $0.01 par, and 30,000,000 common shares,
no par value. These changes have been reflected in the accompanying financial
statements.
DEFERRED STOCK OPTION COMPENSATION EXPENSE
In connection with the Offering, the Company recorded a non-cash,
non-recurring charge of $1,869,000, net of tax, associated with certain of its
stock option plans. This charge resulted in a concurrent increase in paid-in
capital. The Company also eliminated the related deferred stock option
compensation liabilities previously recorded because, effective with the
Offering, the Company's repurchase obligations for stock options exercised under
these stock option plans were eliminated.
RELATED PARTY LEASE AGREEMENTS
In connection with the Offering, the Company restructured certain lease
agreements with its principal shareholder for facilities that the Company uses
in its business operations. Additionally, the Company redeemed $3,600,000 of the
AAA Notes as consideration for the sale of a corporate aircraft at its fair
market value to an entity controlled by the Company's principal shareholder. In
connection with this transaction, the Company entered into a lease agreement
with this entity for the lease of this corporate aircraft.

In connection with the Offering, on December 5, 1997, the Company purchased
the remaining minority shareholders' interests in the equity and net income of
Aquatech for an aggregate purchase price of $678,000, at which time Aquatech

Prior to the Offering, the Company had various credit arrangements with its
principal banks, including term notes and a revolving credit line with
outstanding balances totaling $8,948,000 and $6,935,000, respectively. On
December 5, 1997, the entire outstanding balance under these arrangements,
$15,883,000, was repaid.
Effective November 2, 1998, the Company entered into a new credit agreement
with its principal banks (the "Credit Facility") to replace the previous credit
agreement (the "Previous Credit Agreement"). The Previous Credit Agreement, as
amended, provided the Company with $50,000,000 of available credit, of which
$35,000,000 was available in the form of term notes. The Credit Facility, as
amended, provides the Company with $85,000,000 of revolving credit availability
for a three-year period, subject to extension by the banks each year on the
anniversary of the agreement. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the entire
$85,000,000 is available for general corporate purposes, including working
capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions. Borrowing under the Credit
Facility currently bears interest at the prime rate or, at the Company's option,
the Eurodollar market rate plus 1.875%. The interest rate is subject to change
based on interest rate formulas tied to the ratio of consolidated funded debt to
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Availability of
borrowing is subject to the maintenance of a minimum level of net worth, certain
levels of interest coverage and maintenance of a certain ratio of funded debt to
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company also
pays a commitment fee for unused portions of the Credit Facility of 0.40%.
The revolving credit facility expires on November 30, 2001, at which time
the principal balance outstanding, together with all accrued interest, will
become immediately due and payable. There were $1,632,000 and $1,562,000 of
letters of credit outstanding at June 30, 1998 and 1999, respectively. The
weighted average interest rate for the revolving credit facility was 6.94% at
June 30, 1999.
In connection with acquisitions made during fiscal 1998, the Company issued
unsecured promissory notes in the aggregate of $1,119,000. These notes are
payable to the former owners of the acquired companies and have principal
payments of $56,000 due quarterly through October 31, 2002. The outstanding
balance of these notes at June 30, 1999 was $783,000.
The aggregate maturities of long-term debt for the five years ending June
30 are: 2000, $714,000; 2001, $309,000; 2002, $64,933,000; 2003, $171,000; 2004,
$62,000.
NOTE 7. LEASE COMMITMENTS
The Company leases certain land and buildings under noncancelable operating
leases with entities controlled by its principal shareholder. Prior to the
restructuring of these leases in connection with the Offering, these leases had
been treated as capital leases in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
The aggregate minimum rent commitment under noncancelable operating leases
for the five years ending June 30 are: 2000, $2,356,000; 2001, $2,183,000; 2002,
$1,819,000; 2003, $1,639,000; 2004, $1,294,000; 2005 and thereafter, $693,000.
Rental expense related to all operating leases, including short-term
rentals, was approximately $944,000, $1,850,000 and $3,637,000 for fiscal 1997,
1998 and 1999, respectively.
NOTE 8. INCOME TAXES
Prior to October 31, 1997, Industrial's income was taxed under the
provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
which provides that in lieu of corporate income taxes, the shareholders of the S
Corporation were taxed on their proportionate share of Industrial's taxable
income. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal income tax has been
included in historical financial statements related to Industrial prior to
October 31, 1997. The accompanying financial statements do, however, include
provisions for income taxes for federal, state, provincial and local tax
purposes for the other subsidiaries of the Company that were subject to
corporate income taxes prior to October 31, 1997.
Effective October 31, 1997, Industrial terminated its S Corporation status
and became subject to corporate income taxes. The Company recorded a current
deferred tax asset and a noncurrent deferred tax liability of $2,111,000 and
$1,409,000, respectively, to recognize the cumulative deferred income taxes
attributable to Industrial's change in tax status (from an S Corporation to a C
Corporation). Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
The components of the provision for income taxes are as follows:

state income taxes for the periods presented.
NOTE 9. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

The Company has adopted the disclosure only provision of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 ("SFAS No. 123"), Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, but has elected to continue to measure compensation
expense in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB No.
25"), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations
because, as discussed below, the alternative fair value accounting provided for
under SFAS No. 123 requires use of option valuation models that were not
developed for use in valuing employee stock options.
In accordance with APB No. 25 and related interpretations, the Company
recorded deferred stock option compensation expense in fiscal 1997 and 1998 for
options granted under the 1991 and 1994 Plans to reflect the value of the
options at each date of grant, appreciation in the option values subsequent to
the grant date and conversion of the options to market-value fixed-rate options
as a result of the Offering. Subsequent to the Offering, no additional deferred
stock option compensation expense was recorded for the 1991 and 1994 Plans. The
Company's consolidated results of operations include deferred stock option
compensation expense related to the 1991 and 1994 Plans in the amount of
$2,764,000, of which $1,980,000 relates to prior years' service of the
participants, and $3,365,000 in fiscal 1997 and 1998, respectively.
The 1997 Plan is a fixed-rate plan and, under APB No. 25, no compensation
expense is recognized for grants when the exercise price equals or exceeds the
market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The Company's
consolidated results of operations for fiscal 1998 include compensation expense
of $50,000 related to options granted under the 1997 Plan at exercise prices
less than the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant.
Pro forma information disclosures regarding net income and earnings per
share are required by SFAS No. 123 and have been determined as if the Company
had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of that
Statement. Since the 1991 and 1994 Plans contained repurchase obligation
provisions prior to the Offering, the pro forma information regarding
pre-Offering net income and earnings per share related to the 1991 and 1994
Plans under SFAS No. 123 would not be materially different from reported amounts
under APB No. 25. For purposes of determining the required pro forma information
for fiscal 1998 and 1999, the fair value of options granted in fiscal 1998 and
1999 under the 1997 Plan and the fair value of 1991 and 1994 Plan options re-
measured at the Offering price of $9.00 per share were estimated at the date of
grant or re-measurement using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the
following weighted average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 5.75% and
6.00%, respectively, dividend yield of 0.0% for both years, volatility factor of
the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 25% and 30%,
respectively and a weighted average expected life of the options of 4.0 and 3.9
years, respectively. The weighted average estimated fair value of options
granted and re-measured during fiscal 1998 and 1999 was $2.70 and $3.13 per
share, respectively. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair
value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period.
Had compensation expense for the Company's stock option plans been determined
based on the fair value at the dates

of grant and re-measurement consistent with the methods prescribed by SFAS No.

and 1999 would have been as follows:

Proforma net income per share, assuming

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 Company'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.

Options to purchase 100,000 and 433,250 shares of common stock at a
weighted average price of $11.13 and $11.02 per share, respectively, were
outstanding during fiscal 1998 and 1999, respectively, but were not included in
the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options' exercise
price was greater than the average market price of the common shares and,
therefore, the effect would be antidilutive.

NOTE 12. EQUITY INTERESTS IN PENTAGON
Preferred stock of Pentagon was issued in connection with certain of its
recent acquisitions. The Pentagon Series A Preferred Stock pays dividends only
when and if declared by the Board of Directors of Pentagon and is convertible
into shares of Common Stock of Pentagon immediately prior to an initial public
offering of, or sale of all or substantially all the stock or assets of,
Pentagon. The shares of preferred stock may be sold or transferred to a third
party only subject to a right of first refusal on the part of Pentagon. The
holders of preferred stock have the right, commencing three years after issuance
of the preferred stock, to sell shares of preferred stock to Pentagon or the
Company at a purchase price based on the earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization times a multiple based on certain trading
multiples of the Company or an assumed multiple of Pentagon. The annual amount
of preferred stock of Pentagon to be purchased by the Company or Pentagon will
be determined by the Board of Directors. The purchase price will be paid in
common stock of the Company, or at the option of the Company, in cash.
In addition to preferred stock, Pentagon has issued common stock options to
certain of its executive officers representing an aggregate equity interest in
Pentagon of 11% upon exercise.
NOTE 13. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On August 9, 1996, the Company sold certain land and a commercial building
to an entity controlled by its principal shareholder for $2,200,000. The
transaction resulted in no gain or loss. On February 11, 1998, the Company
redeemed $3,600,000 of the AAA Notes as consideration for the sale of a
corporate aircraft to an entity controlled by its principal shareholder. The
transaction resulted in a gain of $238,000 which has been deferred over the life
of the lease described below. The Company rents certain land, buildings and
equipment, including the commercial real estate and aircraft described above,
from entities controlled by its principal shareholder under long-term lease
agreements. Total payments related to these leases were $991,000, $1,211,000 and
$1,336,000 for fiscal 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively.
The Company provides, from time to time, certain operational,
administrative and financial services to Pro-Kleen Industrial Services, Inc.
("Pro-Kleen"), a portable sanitation services company wholly-owned by the
Company's principal shareholder. No amounts were due from Pro-Kleen at June 30,
1998 and 1999.
NOTE 14. OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Company divides its business into two operating segments: Industrial
Facilities Support Services ("Facilities Support") and Industrial Filtration
Products and Services ("Filtration"). The Facilities Support segment consists of
four service lines -- industrial cleaning and facility maintenance, cleanroom
cleaning and related services, industrial process water purification and
industrial container cleaning -- that provide a broad range of services to
customers in manufacturing, utilities, semiconductor and other industries. The
Filtration segment consists of only one service line -- industrial filtration
management -- and provides air and liquid filtration devices, filtration media
and consumable products, as well as engineering analysis to support
comprehensive contamination control programs to the automotive industry and
other industrial customers.
