COMMODORE APPLIED TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
June 30, 2000
Note A - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for Commodore Applied Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company or Applied) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The financial statement information was derived from unaudited financial statements unless indicated otherwise. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited financial statements included in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 1999.
Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
For the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, Applied incurred losses of $3,985,000, $13,353,000 and $15,694,000, respectively and $1,876,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Applied has also experienced net cash outflows from operating activities of $2,888,000, $9,155,000 and $8,220,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively and $2,291,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Applieds continuation as a company is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and ultimately to attain profitability. Potential sources of cash include new contracts, external debt, the sale of new shares of company stock or alternative methods such as mergers or sale transactions. No assurances can be given, however, that Applied will be able to obtain any of these potential sources of cash.
As explained in Note B, in March 2000, Applied completed a $2.0 million financing through a private placement. Net proceeds to the Company were $1.77 million.
Anticipated losses on contracts are provided for by a charge to income during the period such losses are identified. Changes in job performance, job conditions, estimated profitability (including those arising from contract penalty provisions) and final contract settlements may result in revisions to cost and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Allowances for anticipated losses totaled $118,000 at December 31, 1999 and June 30, 2000.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The investment in Teledyne-Commodore, LLC, a 50% owned joint venture with Teledyne Environmental, Inc., has been accounted for under the equity method as the Company does not have a controlling interest in the venture. This investment is carried at $0 at December 31, 1999 and $325,000 at June 30, 2000. The Company will continue to monitor the carrying value of its investment. The LLC repaid advances totaling $143,000 in the first quarter of
5
2000. The Company had previously charged off these advances. This recovery was recorded as an offset to Research and Development Costs.
Equity in losses of unconsolidated subsidiary for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999 was $0. The LLC joint venture reported the following results for the first six months of 2000:
(Unaudited) | ||
Revenues | $ | 6,362,000 |
Net Income | 375,000 | |
Total Assets | 6,281,000 | |
Members Capital | 1,589,000 |
These results are based on the LLC being successful in negotiating certain change orders with the Department of Army. Due to the uncertainty of collection of the change orders, Applied has not recorded its interest in this reported net income for the six months ending June 30, 2000.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note B - Stockholders Equity
The certificate of Incorporation was amended in 1999, increasing authorized shares of common stock from 75,000,000 to 100,000,000.
Convertible Preferred Stock
In March 2000, Applied completed $2 million in financing through private placement. The Company issued 266,700 shares of a new Series F convertible preferred stock, convertible into the Companys common stock at any time on or after September 30, 2000. On conversion the investor will receive for each converted preferred share the greater number of Company common shares as determined by (1) the face per share ($10) plus accrued dividend divided by the average of the closing prices over a ten consecutive trading day period ending on the Trading day immediately preceding the Conversion date or (2) $7.50 (the cash invested for each preferred share) divided by $1.93875.
The Series F convertible preferred stock has a liquidation preference of $10, per share. In addition, the Company issued warrants to purchase 363,475 shares of common stock at $1.93875 per share. These warrants expire on March 16, 2005.
The Series F convertible preferred stock has an annual dividend rate of 12% through September 30, 2000 and 5% thereafter, paid quarterly. Transaction costs totaled $230,000 resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $1.77 million. The Company has paid $91,567 in dividends on this stock through June 30, 2000.
Common Stock
In March 2000, the Company settled a dispute over financing commissions, in part, by committing to issue 100,000 shares of the Companys unregistered common stock, par value $0.001. This commitment was charged to Additional Paid in Capital as additional transaction costs upon stock issuance in April 2000.

Note C Segment Information
Using the guidelines set forth in SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, Applied has identified three reportable segments in which it operates based on the services it provides. The reportable segments are as follows: Commodore Advanced Sciences (CASI), which primarily provides various engineering, legal, sampling and public relations services to Government agencies on a cost plus basis and Solution, which is developing and constructing equipment to treat mixed and hazardous waste through a patented process using sodium and anhydrous ammonia. Common overhead costs are allocated between segments based on a record of time spent by executives. Applied evaluates segment performance based on the segments net income (loss). Applieds foreign and export sales and assets located outside of the United States are not significant. Summarized financial information concern ing Applieds reportable segments is shown in the following table.

Note D - Contingencies
Applied has matters of litigation arising in the ordinary course of business which in the opinion of management will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.
The Company previously reported notification by the Department of Labor that it was being assessed penalties totaling $100,000 for failure to file certain reports. The Company has settled this amount for $6,000.
In the normal course of business, the Company has loaned monies to, borrowed monies from and guaranteed performance bonds of affiliates.
10
Note E - Proposed Acquisition
The Company announced in May 2000 that it has entered into an agreement to acquire 81% of Dispute Resolution Management, Inc. ("DRM"), an international consulting firm specializing in the management and settlement of complex, latent and long-term tail insurance claims, including environmental, asbestos, products liability and other claims, for large corporate and government clients.
The purchase price of the DRM assets and business is approximately $15 million, plus 1 million shares of Company common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 1 million shares of Company common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 1 million shares of common stock at $2.00 per share. The DRM stockholders, who will continue to own a 19 percent interest in the business, are entitled to receive on-going payments over a five-year period based on a percentage of the profits generated by the existing DRM business. Consummation of this transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including a satisfactory due diligence investigation and financing.

ITEM 2. | Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation |
Overview
Commodore Applied Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company" or "Applied"), is engaged in the destruction and neutralization of hazardous waste from other materials. Applied owns technologies related to the separation and destruction of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
Applied is currently working on the commercialization of these technologies through development efforts, licensing arrangements and joint ventures. Through Commodore Advanced Sciences, Inc. ("CASI"), formerly Advanced Sciences, Inc., a subsidiary acquired on October 1, 1996, Applied has contracts with various government agencies and private companies in the United States and abroad. As some government contracts are funded in one-year increments, there is a possibility for cutbacks as these contracts constitute a major portion of CASI's revenues, and such a reduction would materially affect the operations. However, management believes the subsidiary's existing client relationships will allow Applied to obtain new contracts in the future.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 1999
Revenues were $4,538,000 and $8,870,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $4,754,000 and $8,550,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999. Such revenues were primarily from the Company's ASI subsidiary, and consisted of engineering and scientific services performed for the United States government under a variety of contracts, most of which provide for reimbursement of cost plus fixed fees. Revenue under cost-reimbursement contracts is recorded under the percentage of completion method as costs incurred and include estimated fees in the proportion that costs to date bear to total estimated costs. The Company has seen some increase in annualized sale volume as there was unusually high activity on a major contract in the first six months of 2000 that we expect to reduce to normal levels for the remainder of the year. The Company has two major customers, each of which represent more than 10% of total revenue. The combined revenue for these two customers was $7,681,000 or 87.5% of total revenues for the six months ending June 30, 2000.
Cost of sales were $3,927,000 and $7,858,000 for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2000 compared to $3,914,000 and $7,386,000 for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 1999. These amounts reflect an increasing percentage of sales. CASI has certain fixed price contracts that limit cost recovery to certain maximum rates. The Company has experienced increases in salaries and benefit costs (especially health insurance) that could not be recovered, in full, under existing contracts.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company incurred research and development costs of $354,000 and $600,000 as compared to $277,000 and $562,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999. Excluding the one time credit of $143,000 in 2000 (See Note A to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), research and development costs would have been $743,000 for the first six months of 2000. This increase over 1999 is attributable to performing the successful U.S. Environmental Protection Agency tests that should result in a new permit for the S-10 machine in the second half of 2000. Research and development costs include salaries, wages, and other related costs of personnel engaged in research and development activities, contract services and materials, test equipment and rent for facilities involved in research and development activities. Research and development costs are expensed when incurred, except that those costs related to the design or construction

of an asset having an economic useful life are capitalized, and then depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset.
General and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 were $1,065,000 and $1,845,000 as compared to $903,000 and $1,655,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999. This difference is primarily related to professional fees incurred in 2000 to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission as required by the Series F preferred stock agreement (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources") and professional fees and travel costs related to the negotiations and financing activities on the proposed acquisition of Dispute Resolution Management, Inc. (see Note E to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
Interest income was $23,000 and $39,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to $6,000 and $23,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999.
Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 was $55,000 and $103,000 as compared to $15,000 and $30,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999. This is due to the increase in debt between periods, primarily the line of credit.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, CASI had a $823,000 and $948,000 outstanding balance, respectively, on its revolving lines of credit. In August 1998, CASI refinanced their line of credit. The line of credit is not to exceed 75% of eligible receivable or $2,000,000 and is due August 4, 2000 with interest payable monthly at prime plus 1.5 percent (9.25 percent as of June 30, 2000). The credit line is collateralized by the assets of CASI and is guaranteed by Applied. This line of credit contains certain financial covenants and restrictions including minimum ratios that CASI must satisfy. CASI was in compliance with the covenants at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999. The Company expects to place this line of credit, at essentially the same terms, with a new lender in August or September 2000. The Company has verbal assurances from the current lender that the current line will be extended while the Company negotiates a final credit line with a new lender. These negotiations are currently ongoing.
The line of credit was amended July 15, 1999 to include a promissory note of $1,000,000 secured by substantially all the property and equipment of the Company. The term loan is payable at $16,667 per month plus interest.
For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,876,000 as compared to a net loss of $1,406,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. For the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Company incurred losses and also experienced net cash outflows from operating activities. At June 30, 2000 the Company had working capital of $354,000 and shareholders' equity of $10,117,000.
The contract with one customer, representing $5,962,000, or 67.9% of the first six months of 2000 revenues is scheduled to end on September 30, 2000. The Company expects to be successful with its efforts to rebid this work, but at a significantly reduced level. The Company uses many subcontractors to service this account, and it is anticipated that much of this subcontract work will be reduced or eliminated with the anticipated work reduction. The negative impact on profits from this work reduction should be offset by increases in other areas of the Company's business.

In November 1999, Applied completed $2.5 million in financing through private placement. The Company issued 335,000 shares of a new Series E convertible preferred stock, convertible into the Company's common stock at the market price, after April 30, 2000 and up through April 30, 2003 at which time it automatically converts to the Company's common stock. The Series E convertible preferred stock has a variable rate dividend averaging 8.15% over the term of the securities.
In March 2000, Applied completed $2 million in financing through private placement. The Company issued 266,700 shares of a new Series F convertible preferred stock, convertible into the Company's common stock at any time on or after September 30, 2000. On conversion the investor will receive for each converted preferred share the greater number of Company common shares as determined by (1) the face per share ($10) plus accrued dividend divided by the average of the closing prices over a ten consecutive trading day period ending on the Trading day immediately preceding the Conversion date or (2) $7.50 (the cash invested for each preferred share) divided by $1.93875.
The Series F convertible preferred stock has a liquidation preference of $10, per share. In addition, the Company issued warrants to purchase 363,475 shares of common stock at $1.93875 per share. These warrants expire on March 16, 2005.
The Series F convertible preferred stock has an annual dividend rate of 12% through September 30, 2000 and 5% thereafter, paid quarterly. Transaction costs totaled $230,000 resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $1.77 million.
NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYFORWARDS
The Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $25,000,000. The amount of net operating loss carryforward that can be used in any one year will be limited by the applicable tax laws which are in effect at the time such carryforward can be utilized. A full valuation allowance has been established to offset any benefit from the net operating loss carryforwards. It cannot be determined when or if the Company will be able to utilize the net operating losses.
YEAR 2000 CONSIDERATIONS
Prior to January 1, 2000, there was a great deal of concern regarding the ability of computers to adequately recognize 21st century dates from 20th century dates due to the two-digit data field used by many systems. Most reports to date, however, are that computer systems are functioning normally and the compliance and remediation work accomplished during the years leading up to 2000 was effective to prevent any problems. As of June 30, 2000, the Company has not experienced and any such computer difficulty; however, computer experts have warned that there may still be residual consequences of the change in centuries and any such difficulties may, depending upon their pervasiveness and severity, have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Any of the following could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations:

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain matters discussed in this Quarterly Report are "forward-looking statements" intended to qualify for the safe harbors from liability established by Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). These forward-looking statements can generally be identified as such because the context of the statement will include words such as the Company "believes," "anticipates," "expects" or words of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe the Company's future plans, objectives or goals are also forward-looking statements.

Any such forward-looking statements would be subject to the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results of operations, financial condition, acquisitions, financing transactions, operations, expenditures, expansion and other events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. Any such forward-looking statements would be subject to a number of assumptions regarding, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions generally. Such assumptions would be based on facts and conditions as they exist at the time such statements are made as well as predictions as to future facts and conditions, the accurate prediction of which may be difficult and involve the assessment of events beyond the Company's control. Further, the Company's business is subject to a number of risks that would affect any such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, t he ability of the Company to commercialize its technology; product demand and industry pricing; the ability of the Company to obtain patent protection for its technology; developments in environmental legislation and regulation; the ability of the company to obtain future financing on favorable terms; and other circumstances affecting anticipated revenues and costs.
