ROY F. WESTON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim
periods. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of
the information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto included in the Company's 1995 Annual Report to Shareholders
which is incorporated by reference in its Form 10-K filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Results for the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year
1996.
NOTE 2 - LINE OF CREDIT AGREEMENT
The Company's operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
have required the Company to seek a waiver of compliance with certain covenants
under the agreement for its $45,000,000 unsecured credit facility. As part of
the waiver, the agreement was amended to reduce the maximum amount of direct
cash borrowings from $25,000,000 to $5,000,000. The Company did not have any
direct cash borrowings under this agreement during the nine months ended
September 30, 1996.
NOTE 3 - RESTRUCTURING AND IMPAIRMENT CHARGES
During the three months ended September 30, 1996, the Company recorded a
restructuring charge of $14,421,000 consisting principally of writedown of
assets and other expenses associated with a plan to withdraw from the
analytical laboratory business, costs to close or reduce the size of certain
office facilities and severance costs associated with reducing the Company's
work force. In addition, the Company recorded a charge of $3,146,000 to
recognize the impairment in value of its thermal incineration assets and a
minority interest investment in a bioremediation company.
-6-
<PAGE> 9
NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES
During the three months ended September 30, 1996, the company changed its
estimated effective income tax (benefit) rate to 27% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 from 36% for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The change
in the effective tax rate was due to the absence of tax benefits associated
with the writedown of certain assets included in the Company's restructuring
and an increase in the valuation allowance previously established for deferred
tax assets relating to state income tax benefits. This change in accounting
estimate increased net loss and net loss per share for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 by $2,138,000 and $.22, respectively.
NOTE 5 - CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOW
During the first nine months of 1996 there were net cash refunds for income
taxes of $663,000. During the first nine months of 1995 there were net cash
payments for income taxes of $1,361,000. Cash payments for interest were
$1,123,000 and $1,308,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
Capital lease obligations of $301,000 and $55,000 were incurred in the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $1,271,000 in the first nine months of 1996
to $11,709,000 from $12,980,000 at December 31, 1995. Marketable securities
increased $7,559,000 in the first nine months of 1996 to $10,372,000 from
$2,813,000 at December 31, 1995.
Operating activities provided cash of $15,502,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, compared to $14,544,000 in the nine months ended September
30, 1995. Net cash investments in property and equipment and other assets were
$3,266,000 in the first nine months of 1996, compared to $8,842,000 in the
comparable 1995 period. Net cash investments for the first nine months of 1995
included a $2,000,000 investment for a minority interest in a bioremediation
company. The Company used cash of $5,739,000 in financing activities in the
first nine months of 1996, compared to $5,399,000 in the comparable 1995
period. The availability of direct cash borrowings under the Company's line of
credit agreement has been reduced from $25,000,000 to $5,000,000. The Company
had no cash borrowings under the line of credit agreement in the nine months
ended September 30, 1996. The Company expects to be able to fund working
capital requirements from available investments and operating cash flow.
MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was $16,603,000 or $1.73
per share, compared to net income of $748,000 or $.08 per share, for the three
months ended September 30, 1995. Net loss for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 was $17,256,000 or $1.80 per share, compared to net income of
$2,282,000 or $.24 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
Gross revenues decreased 20% to $63,482,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996, and 15% to $197,254,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1996, compared to the 1995 periods. Net revenues decreased 20% to
$42,276,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996, and 14% to
$135,615,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, compared to the 1995
periods. Net revenues from consulting projects declined 17% and 12% in the
three months and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively, due
principally to a diminished level of available business as a result of a lack
of federal regulatory progress. Construction and remediation net revenues
declined 51% and 32% to $4,265,000 and $15,668,000 in the three months and nine
months ended September 30, 1996, respectively, due principally to government
funding delays and the recognition of $1,200,000 and $1,800,000 representing
completion of a remediation project contract negotiation in the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1995, respectively.
-8-
<PAGE> 11
Loss from operations for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was
$22,780,000 compared to income from operations of $1,352,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1995. Loss from operations for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 was $23,772,000 compared to income from operations of
$3,810,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The losses in the
three months and nine months ended September 30, 1996 were partially due to the
lower 1996 net revenues. In addition, the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 1996 include restructuring charges of $14,421,000 consisting
principally of writedown of assets and other expenses associated with a plan to
withdraw from the analytical laboratory business, costs to close or reduce the
size of certain office facilities and severance costs associated with reducing
the Company's work force. Further, the Company recorded a charge of $3,146,000
to recognize the impairment in value of its thermal incineration assets and a
minority interest investment in a bioremediation company. General and
administrative expenses, while less in 1996 than comparable 1995 periods,
nevertheless increased as a percentage of net revenues to 16.5% and 15.5% in
the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively, from
13.6% and 13.7% in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1995,
respectively, due to lower net revenues. General and administrative expenses
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 include a provision of
approximately $775,000 relating to severance benefits for the Company's former
Chairman of the Board.
Investment income increased $164,000, or 15%, for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 due to gains realized on sale of investments held in the
Company's captive insurance subsidiary. Interest expense declined $102,000, or
19%, and $268,000, or 15%, in the three months and nine months ended September
30, 1996, respectively, due to lower borrowings. Other income for the three
months and nine months ended September 30, 1996 includes a $273,000 gain
realized on purchase of the Company's 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures.
Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 includes a $376,000
gain realized on purchase of Debentures.
