PART I
ITEM 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
(a) Business Development:
NESCO Industries, Inc. (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "we" or the
"Company") is principally engaged in providing asbestos abatement services,
indoor air quality monitoring, testing and remediation, and other environmental
services through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, National Abatement Corp., NAC
Environmental Services, Inc. and NAC/Indoor Air Professionals, Inc.
The Company was incorporated in Nevada in March 1993, and was inactive for a
number of years until it acquired National Abatement Corp. and NAC Environmental
Services Corp. in March 1998. National Abatement Corp. ("NAC") was incorporated
in May 1988 to provide asbestos abatement services primarily in the greater
metropolitan New York City area, and today is a full service asbestos abatement
contractor. NAC Environmental Services, Inc., ("NACE") was incorporated in May
1993. It is a provider of environmental services such as subsurface
soils/groundwater remediation, Phase I and Phase II environmental site
assessments and underground storage tank management and remediation.
In June 1999 we formed NAC/Indoor Air Professionals, Inc. ("NAC/IAP") through
which we provide indoor air quality monitoring, testing and remediation
services, primarily in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Prior to the
organization of NAC/IAP, we provided limited air quality services through NACE.
(b) Business of the Issuer:
(b)(1) Principal products and services and their markets:
(b)(1)(A). National Abatement Corp.
NAC has expertise in all types of asbestos abatement including removal and
disposal, enclosure (constructing structures around asbestos-containing area)
and encapsulation (spraying asbestos-containing materials with an approved
sealant). Asbestos abatement is principally performed in commercial buildings,
hospitals, government and institutional buildings, universities and industrial
facilities. NAC's revenues in the past three fiscal years ended April 30 were as
follows: 2000 - $10,114,108 (80.1% of total Company revenues); 1999 - $9,819,053
(84.7% of total Company revenues); and 1998 - $11,071,751 (92.3% of total
revenues).
Asbestos is a fibrous mineral found in rock formations around the world that was
used extensively as a construction material and in construction-related products
as a fire retardant and insulating material prior to the early 1970s. Asbestos
also was used as a component in a variety of building materials (such as
plaster, drywall, mortar and building block) and in caulking, tile adhesives,
paint, roofing felts, floor tile and other surfacing materials.
In the early 1970s, it became widely recognized that inhalation or ingestion of
asbestos fibers caused a number of diseases, including asbestosis (a
debilitating pulmonary disease), lung cancer
1
<PAGE>
and mesothelioma (a cancer of the abdominal and lung lining). The Environmental
Protection Agency ("EPA") banned the use of asbestos as a construction material
in 1973, and the federal government subsequently banned the use of asbestos in
other building materials as well. Most structures built before 1973, however,
contained asbestos in some form. The asbestos abatement industry grew rapidly in
the 1980s due to increasing awareness and concern over health hazards associated
with asbestos, legislative action mandating safety standards and requiring
abatement in certain circumstances, and economic pressures on building owners
seeking to satisfy the requirements of financial institutions, insurers and
tenants. The market first leveled off and then declined in the 1990s as building
owners and facilities managers developed containment and management programs and
procedures that were less costly than removal.
NAC provides its services on a project contract basis. Individual projects are
competitively bid, although many requests for bids from private owners are
subject to changes in specifications, additions and other factors with the
result that the final terms are negotiated. The majority of contracts undertaken
are on a fixed price basis with monthly billings based upon percentage of
completion or a schedule of values, less retainage. The lengths of the contracts
are typically less than one year; however, larger projects may require two or
three years to complete. Responsibility for each contract is assigned to a
project manager who coordinates the project until its completion. NAC provides
its asbestos abatement services using a qualified labor force in accordance with
regulatory requirements, contract specifications and operating procedures
manual, which describes worker safety and protection procedures, air monitoring
protocols and abatement methods.
NAC's asbestos abatement operations generally have been concentrated in the
tri-state New York, New Jersey and Connecticut regions. NAC faces formidable
competition in this market, and its margins have declined in recent years. Prior
to last year, NAC had been involved in a joint venture project in Pennsylvania.
NAC is licensed and/or certified in all jurisdictions where required by its
current work in order to conduct its operations. In addition, certain management
and staff members are licensed and/or certified by various governmental agencies
as asbestos abatement supervisors and workers. Disposal of hazardous material is
subcontracted to licensed haulers who transport the material to a licensed
landfill or other disposal facility. A "chain of custody" for the material is
set forth in a waste manifest on which each step in the disposal process is
accounted for.
Since NAC is able to perform asbestos abatement work throughout the year, the
business is not considered seasonal in nature. However, it is affected by the
timing of large contracts.
(b)(1)(B) NAC Environmental Services, Inc.
NAC Environmental Services Corp. is a full service environmental firm with a
focus on remediation, closure and cost effectiveness. NACE's staff consists of
environmental engineers, hydrogeologists, environmental scientists, project
managers and field technicians. NACE has established long term relationships
with many fortune 500 companies, institutional and military organizations.
Services offered by NACE include Phase I, II, and III environmental assessments,
including underground storage tank removals, injection well closures, soil and
groundwater treatment systems, contaminated soil removal and emergency response.
2
<PAGE>
The following is a brief summary of our environmental assessment services:
Phase I: A Phase I site assessment is undertaken to identify potential
environmental concerns at a subject property. The process is non-invasive,
utilizing site visits, historical review, regulatory review, etc. to develop a
competent environmental survey of the subject property.
Phase II: Once an environmental concern has been identified (i.e., an
underground storage tank, evidence of hazardous waste, etc.), a Phase II
assessment or investigation will take place. This investigation could include
drilling, ground penetrating radar, leaching pools sampling, etc. As part of the
investigation, samples are collected and analyzed to determine the presence
and/or absence of contamination.
Phase III: Once contamination is confirmed, an appropriate remedial action plan
is designed and implemented, based upon the nature and severity of the
contamination and the current conditions of the subject property. Remediation
could take place in the form of soil vapor extraction, ground water pump and
treatment systems, and many other options.
In satisfying our customers' needs, NACE generally provides inspection, various
testing services and project planning and management services directly, and
subcontracts with other environmental service providers for such specialized
services as hazardous waste removal, transportation and disposal.
(b)(1)(C) NAC/Indoor Air Professionals, Inc.
NAC/IAP provides indoor air quality testing, monitoring and remediation
services. Upon its organization, NAC/IAP took over the indoor air quality
testing and remediation activities previously conducted by NACE. In July 1999,
operations were expanded by acquiring the name and certain other assets from,
and hiring personnel formerly employed by, a Long Island, New York based air
quality contractor. The acquisition price of $637,860 was paid through the
issuance of common stock valued at $500,000 and cash. The purchase price was
allocated $500,000 to "goodwill", $50,000 to covenants not to compete, and the
balance to other assets.
NAC/IAP offers an integrated approach to indoor air quality (IAQ) issues by
offering investigative services, mechanical hygiene through HVAC system cleaning
and engineering redesign, and microbiological decontamination. IAQ is an
important concern in a wide variety of industries and facilities, including
hospitals and other health care facilities, pharmaceutical and medical device
companies, food manufacturing facilities, cruise ships, commercial and
government office buildings, laboratories, universities, schools and retail
outlets. This concern results from increased awareness of health, mechanical and
fire hazards, related litigation exposure, and compliance with federal and state
IAQ mandates. As a result of increased awareness of IAP as a health issue, terms
such as "Sick Building Syndrome", "Legionnaire's Disease" and "Building Related
Illness" have come into common use.
As a member of the National Air Duct Cleaners Association, NAC/IAP practices
source removal techniques to provide a level of cleaning in compliance with the
Association's 1992-01 industry standard.
3
<PAGE>
NAC/IAP owns and operates the latest in source removal cleaning equipment. Its
present service area includes primarily the New York/New Jersey/ Connecticut
Tri-State area. The Company is aggressively seeking to expand NAC/IAP's service
area to include the entire Atlantic seaboard and Puerto Rico.
(b)(1)(D) Backlog
At April 30, 2000, we had contracts, including contract work in progress,
representing future revenues of approximately $3,862,000. At year end 1999 and
1998, we had contracts pending representing future revenues of approximately
$1,691,000 and $1,325,000, respectively.
(b)(2) Distribution Methods:
We undertake work primarily pursuant to written "fixed price" contracts which
are obtained through competitive bidding, or on a negotiated, non-bid basis.
Work performed in excess of the original contract amount is usually done
pursuant to change order. The incidence of time and material contracts, and unit
price contracts are not significant.
In marketing our services, we rely principally on a Company-employed sales staff
and upon the efforts of our operating and executive management team who
regularly call upon existing and prospective customers. We also utilize a number
of independent sales representatives. As the breadth of the services that we
offer has expanded beyond asbestos abatement to include indoor air quality and
general environmental services, cross selling and cross referrals among its
operating subsidiaries has increased and is emphasized by management to take
advantage of the working relationships which we have developed over the years
with industrial, commercial, engineering and other professional concerns in its
service area.
We supplement our direct sales effort through regular advertising in trade
publications, direct mailings to selected industrial and engineering firms
(e.g., in the IAQ area, to industries that are most affected by IAQ issues),
strategic telemarketing and regular participation in industry conferences and
trade shows.
(b)(3) New Products or Services:
Prior to the organization of NAC/IAP in June 1999, the indoor air quality
segment of our business was not significant. We are now actively promoting that
service segment, and presently expects NAC/IAP to generate approximately 10% of
total Company revenues in the current fiscal year.
(b)(4) Competition:
The environmental services industry is highly competitive and fragmented. We
face competition from local owner-operated service contractors and from national
and regionally based companies that perform a variety of industrial and
environmental services. Competition in this market is based primarily on hourly
rates, productivity, safety, innovative approaches and quality of service. A
substantial portion of work in our service areas is performed pursuant to
contracts obtained through competitive bidding. Among qualified bidders, price
usually is the determining factor.
4
<PAGE>
(b)(5) Sources of Supply:
We purchase job related materials and equipment from several vendors. We are not
dependent on purchasing from any one vendor, as there are a number of sources of
supply.
(b)(6) Major Customers:
Our customers include owners of commercial real estate, managing agents and
general contractors, industrial facilities and hospitals and educational
institutions. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000, approximately 89% of
our operating revenues were derived from commercial and industrial clients, and
approximately 11% was derived from institutional customers such as educational
institutions and hospitals. The mix for the prior fiscal year was approximately
80% commercial and industrial, and 20% institutional.
Due to the nature of our business, which involves contracts that are often
completed within one year, customers that account for a significant portion of
revenue in one year may not represent a significant portion of revenue in
subsequent years. We do not believe that the loss of future business from any
single customer would have a material adverse effect on its results of
operations or financial position taken as a whole.
No single customer of the Company accounted for more than 10% of its revenues in
any of the past three fiscal years.
(b)(7) Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, etc.
We do not consider intellectual property (apart from trade secrets concerning
customer and bidding information) to be significant to our operations.
(b)(8) and (9) Governmental Approvals and Regulations:
A core component of our business is advising and assisting its customers in
complying with local, state and federal laws and regulations concerning the
environment. With respect to asbestos abatement services, numerous regulations
at the federal, state and local levels impact the industry, including the EPA's
Clean Air Act and Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA")
requirements.
EPA regulations provide national emissions standards for asbestos abatement.
These standards mandate detailed procedures for collection, waste disposal,
handling and shipment of asbestos. The EPA regulations require precise methods
for accomplishing various aspects of asbestos abatement and include
specifications on:
o temporary storage of asbestos;
o air test protocols;
o air cleaning devices;
o record maintenance;
5
<PAGE>
o placement, content and size of signs and labels warning of the
presence of asbestos and associated health risks; and
o reporting requirements to the EPA.
In addition, the EPA requires schools to inspect for asbestos and implement
response actions and submit asbestos management plans to States. These
regulations specify the use of accredited inspectors, air sampling methods and
waste disposal procedures. The EPA also has notification requirements before
removal operations can begin.
The health and safety of personnel involved in the removal of asbestos is
protected by OSHA regulations. These regulations provide worker protection
measures and standards for asbestos exposure in all work and include
specifications on:
o worker training;
o engineering controls;
o labeling respiratory protection;
o bagging of waste;
o permissible exposures limits;
o exposure assessment and monitoring;
o methods of compliance;
o hygiene facilities and practices;
o communication of hazards;
o record maintenance; and
o designation, duties and training of a "competent person" to
ensure worker safety.
Many state authorities and local jurisdictions have implemented similar programs
governing removal, handling and disposal of asbestos.
The transportation of asbestos, which has been designated a hazardous material,
is governed by the Department of Transportation under the Hazardous Materials
Act of 1975. The Department of Transportation's current regulations direct the
transportation of asbestos-containing waste materials and require the
maintenance of detailed waste contamination and shipping papers.
NAC's business depends, in part, on the issuance of permits from state and
federal agencies to allow NAC to transport hazardous materials, to operate
certain of NAC's equipment and to operate NAC's container cleaning and
wastewater pretreatment facilities. NAC believes that it has and will be able to
obtain and retain the applicable and necessary permits from governmental
6
<PAGE>
authorities. The majority of these permits require renewal annually and,
accordingly, such permits may be subject to revocation, modification or denial.
NAC believes it is in compliance with all of the federal, state and local
statutes and regulations which affect its asbestos abatement business.
Certain services offered by NACE and NAC/IAP are required to be performed by
licensed individuals. In addition, as indicated above, NACE frequently
subcontracts with third parties for services which require licensing or permits
(e.g., transportation of hazardous waste).
(b)(10) Research and Development:
We continuously pursue innovative and creative approaches and methods for
providing services to our customers. We do not, however, engage in any
significant research and development activities.
(b)(11) Environmental Compliance:
Except in the ordinary course of our business operations, we do not anticipate
any significant costs to comply with environmental laws and requirements.
(b)(12) Employees: As of July 18, 2000, we had 16 full time employees, of which
one is executive, five are engaged in sales and marketing, and the remaining ten
employees are technical, production and administrative personnel. In addition,
three of our executive officers (Santo Petrocelli, Sr., Marshall Geller and
Lawrence Polan) devote less than full time to their duties as described in the
information set forth in Item 9 hereof.
In addition to our "permanent" work force, we typically hire temporary laborers
to staff NAC and NACE projects. Temporary laborers generally are represented by
a labor union and, in New York and New Jersey, are covered by a collective
bargaining agreement between the Company and the Mason Tenders Union. We also
employ union laborers with other affiliations depending on project jurisdiction,
on a project by project basis. Our permanent work force is not unionized.
We believe we have good relations with our employees, and have never incurred a
significant work stoppage due to any strike or protest by our employees.

<PAGE>
ITEM 2 - DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
We sublease our executive and administrative offices (approximately 4,600 square
feet) from Petrocelli Electric Co. Petrocelli Electric Co. is owned and
controlled by Santo Petrocelli, Sr., our President and CEO, and members of Mr.
Petrocelli's family, including his son, Santo Petrocelli, Jr., who is a director
of the Company. There is no written sublease or term specified for this
sublease. We pay a gross rent (i.e., our rental includes utilities, taxes,
common area maintenance and other typical tenant charges) of $14.00 per square
foot ($64,400 per year) which approximates Petrocelli Industries' prime tenancy
costs. We believe that our occupancy costs under this sublease arrangement are
no higher than market, and that the terms are no less favorable to us than we
could have obtained through arms-length negotiation with non-affiliated parties.
We also lease warehouse and office space in Rutherford, NJ (approximately 6,000
square feet) at an annual rent of approximately $38,000, and in Farmingdale, NY
(approximately 500 square feet) at an annual rent of approximately $12,000. We
rent a small amount of storage area in midtown Manhattan (approximately 170
square feet) at an annual rent of approximately $5,800.
We believe our offices and other facilities are adequate for our present needs.

</TABLE>
In most or all cases, there are additional defendants against whom claims are
asserted by the plaintiffs and/or other parties, and we have filed crossclaims
and third party claims against other parties.
We are being defended by counsel engaged by our insurers in the above cases, and
we believe that all claims pending in these cases are covered by insurance.
Based on our experience, we believe that all of these cases will be settled or
otherwise disposed of within the limits of coverage on our insurance policies,
notwithstanding the amounts claimed.
Except for the project-related claims proceedings set forth above, we are not
involved in any other material legal proceedings.
9
<PAGE>
We maintain commercial general liability insurance for claims arising from its
business operations with coverage of $5 million limit per claim and in the
aggregate against loss arising from property damage and bodily injury. The
policy is written on an "occurrence" basis which provides coverage for insured
risks that occur during the policy period, irrespective of when a claim is made.
Higher policy limits are available for individual projects. We also carry
pollution errors and omissions liability insurance ($1 million limit per claim
and in the aggregate), a $15 million commercial umbrella policy, and worker's
compensation insurance within statutory coverage limits. In addition, a
substantial number of NAC's customers require performance and payment bonds and
the registrant maintains a bonding program to satisfy these requirements.

(b) Holders
As of August 11, 2000, there were 29 record holders of our Common Stock.
(c) Dividends
The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock.
We currently anticipate that future earnings will be retained to support our
business. Accordingly, we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our Common
Stock in the foreseeable future.
11
<PAGE>
(d) Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
In the past three fiscal years, we have issued the following securities in
transactions not registered under the Securities Act of 1933:
(a) In March 1998, we issued 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock to the then
stockholders of National Abatement Corp. and NAC Environmental Services Corp. in
exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of those corporations. The
transaction was a negotiated business combination by which the buyer and sellers
were represented by counsel, all the five former shareholders of NAC and NACE
were sophisticated investors who acquired the shares for investment, and the
beneficial owners of the shares, following the transaction, became officers and
directors of the Company. The shares were issued without registration under the
Securities Act in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Act, and are "restricted
securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Act. Certificates
representing the shares are legended, and stop orders against unauthorized
transfers of the shares have been entered.
(b) In July 1999, we issued 364,963 shares of Common Stock in partial
payment for certain business assets acquired from IAP, Inc. The transaction was
a negotiated business combination in which both buyer and seller were
represented by counsel. We relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act in
issuing the shares without registration under the Act.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
When used in this discussion, the words "expect(s)", "feels", "believe(s)",
"will", "may", "anticipate(s)" and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from the
possible results described in such statements. Readers are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, and are urged to
carefully review and consider the various disclosures elsewhere in this
Prospectus which discuss factors which affect the Company's business, including
the discussion under the caption "Risk Factors".
General
NESCO Industries, Inc. was incorporated in March 1993 as Coronado Communications
Corp. In March 1998, NESCO, which was then inactive, acquired all of the
outstanding capital stock of National Abatement Corp. ("NAC"), a corporation
engaged primarily in asbestos abatement services, and NAC Environmental Services
Corp. ("NACE"), a provider of a variety of other environmental remediation
services. As a result of this acquisition, which was the result of arms length
negotiation between previously non-affiliated parties, the former shareholders
of NAC received 5,000,000 shares of our Common Stock, or 80% of the total
outstanding immediately following the acquisition. For accounting purposes, NAC
was treated as the acquiring corporation. Thus, the historical financial
statements of NAC prior to this acquisition date are deemed to be the historical
financial statements of the Company.
(a) Years ended April 30, 2000 and 1999
The following table sets forth our revenues by operating area in the periods
indicated:
Fiscal year ended April 30,
------------------------------
2000 1999
----------- -----------
Asbestos abatement $10,114,108 $9,819,053
Indoor air quality services 1,248,462 --
Other environmental services 1,197,355 1,767,437
----------- -----------
$12,559,925 $11,586,490
In the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000, our revenues increased 8%, cost of
earned revenues increased 14%, and gross profit margin declined $13%, as
compared to the year ended April 30, 1999. Our reduced gross profit margin was
primarily the result of an overall declining trend in profitability from our NAC
operations due to an increasingly competitive market. In addition, gross losses
were incurred on certain projects. Further, gross profit margins from our Indoor
Air Quality operation were lower than the Company's overall average margins on
revenues of $1,248,462. Revenues from other environmental services decreased
from $1,767,437 to $1,197,355, or 32%.
Our general and administrative expenses also rose faster than revenues and gross
profit in the year ended April 30, 2000. As a result, we had a net loss of
$946,349 in 2000 versus a net loss
13
<PAGE>
of $116,328 in 1999. The increase in our general and administrative expenses was
due primarily to increases in occupancy costs ($20,529), depreciation and
amortization ($53,537) and payroll associated with expansion of our Indoor Air
Quality operations ($255,209).

$11,586,490 $11,994,500
As indicated in the above table, we experienced a slight decline (approximately
3.4%) in earned revenues in the year ended April 30, 1999 (to $11,586,490 from
$11,994,500 in the prior year). We did achieve, however, a proportionately
greater reduction (approximately 7.4%) in our cost of earned revenues (to
$9,239,824 from $9,975,115). As a result our gross profit margin improved by
approximately 20% (to 20.25% in 1999 from 16.84% in 1998). The reduction in our
cost of earned revenues, and the corresponding improvement in our gross profit
margin, in the year ended April 30, 1999, was attributable primarily to a more
profitable mix of business, which reflected in part a greater contribution to
our total revenues by NACE.
Our increase in gross profit for the year ended April 30, 1999 (to $2,346,666 in
1999 from $2,019,385 in the prior year) was more than offset, however, by a
substantial increase in general and administrative expenses during the year (to
$2,464,079 from $1,800,427). This increase in general and administrative
expense, coupled with a $66,000 increase in managerial fees which represent
compensation for services of two of the Company's executive officers (to
$208,000 from $142,000), resulted in a net operating loss of ($117,413) in 1999
compared to operating income of $218,958 in the prior year.
The increase in general and administrative expense in the year ended April 30,
1999, was attributable primarily to increased occupancy costs of $69,072 related
in part to a move of our executive offices in November 1998; increased personnel
costs of $178,342; increased travel and entertainment expenses of $78,501
attributable to an expanded sales and marketing effort; a $66,000 increase in
management fees paid to two executive offices; and an increase in provision for
uncollectibles of $141,000 which was reflective of the increase in receivables
at year end 1999 compared to the prior year.
Our net loss of ($116,328) in the year ended April 30, 1999 ($.02 per share),
compared with net income of $200,743, or $.03 per share in year ended April 30,
1998, was primarily the result of increased general and administrative expenses
in 1999, as described above, and the fact that in 1999 we realized a loss of
($12,381) on the operations of a joint venture which were primarily related to
the wind-up of the joint venture's activities, compared to income of $296,293
from joint venture operations in 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table sets forth our working capital position at the end of the
fiscal years indicated:
Year ended April 30,
-------------------------------
2000 1999
----------- ----------
Current assets $ 4,047,300 $3,271,366
Current liabilities 4,548,297 2,963,266
----------- ----------
Working capital (negative) $ (500,997) $ 308,100
Our cash and cash equivalents declined from $97,765 at April 30, 1999 to $32,515
at April 30, 2000, primarily as a result of cash used in operations to fund our
operating loss.
To provide additional working capital in the current fiscal year, we borrowed
$950,000 from Santo Petrocelli, Sr., our Chairman, President and Chief Executive
Officer, and Petrocelli Industries, Inc., a company controlled by Mr.
Petrocelli, net of repayments made during the year. The highest loan balance
during the year was $850,000. The loan bears interest at 10% per annum, payable
monthly. Terms for the repayment of the loan principal have not been
established, and we consider this loan to be repayable on demand.
In the quarter ended July 31, 1999, we acquired certain assets now used by
NAC/IAP from an unrelated third party for $137,860 and the issuance of 364,963
shares of common stock. The cash used to acquire these assets was provided by
the loan from Petrocelli Industries that is described in the preceding
paragraph. During the fourth quarter, we received $334,000 from the termination
of the lease of office space in which our executive offices had been located
prior to our move to Long Island City, New York.
The additional working capital provided by our borrowings from Petrocelli
Industries were necessary to finance our operating cash needs since cash
generated by operations was insufficient for this purpose. Unless we are able to
generate positive cash flow from operations in the current year, we will require
additional debt or equity capital, however, to provide increased liquidity, to
fund business operations and to be in a position to take advantage of
acquisition or other expansion opportunities should they arise. At the present
time, however, we have no commitments for any additional financing.
Basis of Presentation -- Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the
Company as a going concern. However, as of April 30, 2000 the Company has an
accumulated deficit in stockholders' equity of $561,768, negative working
capital of $500,997 and has incurred a net loss of $946,349 for the year ended
April 30, 2000.
In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of a
major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance
sheet is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its financing requirements
on a continuing basis, to maintain its present financing, and to succeed in its
future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability and classification of liabilities that might be
necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
Management has reduced staff, space and overhead expenditures, which it believes
is sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue in existence.

Year 2000 Issues
In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Statement No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No.
133"). SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting for derivative
instruments, including derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and
for hedging activities. Subsequently, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137 which
deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 137 is effective for all
fiscal quarters beginning after June 30, 2000. The Company believes that the
adoption of SFAS No. 133 will not have a material impact on the Company's
financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. Subsequently, the FASB
issued SFAS No. 137 which deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 133. SFAS No.
137 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June
15, 2000. The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will not have a
material impact on the Company's financial statements.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Financial Derivative and
Other Market Risks
The Company employs no "hedging" strategies at the present time, and all of our
cash deposits are denominated in US dollars.

ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
Mendelsohn Kary Bell & Natoli LLP ("MKB&N") declined to stand for reappointment
as auditors for our fiscal year ended April 30, 2000. MKB&N's reports on our
financial statements for the preceding two fiscal years did not contain an
adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as
to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During our past two fiscal years and the interim periods preceding MKB&N's
election not to stand for re-election, we had no disagreements with MKB&N of the
nature required to be reported under Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, and
there no events of the nature required to be reported under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of
Regulation S-K occurred.
Effective June 15, 2000, we engaged Grant Thornton LLP as our auditors. During
the past two fiscal years, we have had no consultations with Grant Thornton
concerning: (a) the application of accounting principles to a specific
transaction or the type of opinion that might be rendered on our financial
statements as to which a written report was provided to us or as to which we
received oral advice that was an important factor in reaching a decision on any
accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (b) any disagreements, as
defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K; or (c) a reportable event, as
described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
Our Board of Directors has approved the engagement of Grant Thornton LLP as our
auditors to replace MKB&N.

ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000, Santo Petrocelli, Sr., our
President and Chief Executive Officer, and Petrocelli Industries, Inc.
("Petrocelli Industries"), a company controlled by Mr.Petrocelli, loaned
$950,000 to us, net of repayments during the year. The highest loan balance
outstanding at any time during the year was $850,000. These loans bear interest
at the rate of 10% per annum, payable monthly, and have no fixed term.
Accordingly, we consider them to be due on demand. No interest was paid on these
loans during the year. For the year ended April 30, 2000, we had accrued
interest of $46,667 on the loans.
The indebtedness to Mr. Petrocelli and Petrocelli Industries described in the
preceding paragraph is in addition to demand loans of $129,000 made to NAC by
Petrocelli Industries and Gelco Development Corp., a company controlled by
Marshall Geller, our Executive Vice Presifdent and a director of the Company,
prior to our acquisition of NAC in March 1998. For the year ended April 30,
2000, we had accrued interest of $15,440 on these loans.
We believe the loan terms obtained from Petrocelli Industries, Gelco Development
Corp. and Santo Petrocelli are at least as favorable as could have been obtained
by us from non-affiliated parties through arms length negotiation.
Except as set forth above, there were no transactions between the Company and
any of its current executive officers or holders of 5% or more of its voting
securities during either of the last two fiscal years.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Board of Directors
NESCO Industries, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of NESCO Industries,
Inc. as of April 30, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial
statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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 NESCO Industries,
Inc. as of April 30, 2000, and the consolidated results of their operations and
their consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the financial statements,
as of April 30, 2000, the Company has an accumulated deficit in stockholders'
equity of $561,768, negative working capital of $500,997, and has incurred a net
loss of $946,349 for the year ended April 30, 2000. These factors, among others,
as discussed in Note A to the financial statements, raise substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans
in regard to these matters are also described in Note A. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 2000 and 1999
NOTE A - ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
NESCO Industries, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in Nevada on March
29, 1993, under the name Coronado Capital Corp. (formerly Coronado
Communications Corp.).
On March 11, 1998, the Company acquired National Abatement Corp. ("NAC")
and NAC Environmental Services Corp. ("NESC") pursuant to an Agreement and
Plan of Reorganization. To effect the reorganization, NESCO issued
5,000,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for the outstanding common
shares of NAC and NESC. Upon consummation of the reorganization, NAC and
NESC became wholly-owned subsidiaries of NESCO. As part of the
reorganization, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to change
its name to NESCO Industries, Inc. and authorized 1,000,000 shares of
preferred stock. For accounting purposes, the acquisition has been treated
as a recapitalization of NAC with NAC as the acquirer (reverse
acquisition).
The Company is a holding company and all of its business is conducted
through its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
NAC was organized under the laws of the state of Delaware on May 15, 1988.
NAC is engaged in the abatement and removal of asbestos materials found in
commercial and industrial structures located in New York, New Jersey, and
Pennsylvania. The work is performed principally in office buildings for
owners of various commercial businesses and other contractors principally
under lump-sum contracts.
NESC was organized under the laws of the state of Delaware on May 12, 1993.
NESC is engaged in providing various environmental services including air
quality management, lead abatement services, and management of storage
tanks found in commercial and industrial structures located in New York and
New Jersey.
NAC/Indoor Air Professionals was organized under the laws of the State of
New York on June 28, 1999. The Company provides indoor air quality
monitoring, testing and remediation services.
Basis of Presentation -- Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of
the Company as a going concern. However, as of April 30, 2000 the Company
has an accumulated deficit in stockholders' equity of $561,768, negative
working capital of $500,997 and has incurred a net loss of $946,349 for the
year ended April 30, 2000.
In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability
of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying
balance sheet is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its financing
requirements on a continuing basis, to maintain its present financing, and
to succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification
of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to
continue in existence.
Management has reduced staff, space and overhead expenditures, which it
believes is sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue
in existence.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
April 30, 2000 and 1999
NOTE A (continued)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. In these financial statements, assets, liabilities, and earnings
from contracts involve extensive reliance on management's estimates. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue and Cost Recognition
Earned revenues are recorded using the percentage-of-completion method.
Under this method, earned revenues are determined by reference to Company's
engineering estimates, contract expenditures incurred, and work performed.
The calculation of earned revenue and the effect on several asset and
liability amounts is based on the common industry standard revenue
determination formula of actual costs-to-date compared to total estimated
job costs. Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, and
uncertainties relating to future performance as the contracts are
completed, it is at least reasonably possible that estimated job costs, in
total or on individual contracts, will be revised. When a loss is
anticipated, the entire amount of the estimated loss is provided for in the
period.
The asset "unbilled costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on
uncompleted contracts" represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts
billed. The liability "billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings
on uncompleted contracts" represents billings in excess of revenues
recognized.
Balance Sheet Classification
In accordance with construction industry practice, the Company includes in
current assets and liabilities those amounts relating to construction
contracts that may be realizable or payable over a period in excess of one
year.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company classifies highly liquid debt instruments, purchased with a
maturity of three months or less, as cash equivalents.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
April 30, 2000 and 1999
NOTE A (continued)
Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Depreciation is computed principally using accelerated methods over the
estimated useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for maintenance,
repairs, and minor renewals are charged to operations. Major renewals and
betterments are capitalized.
Income Taxes
Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for
the current year and deferred taxes on temporary differences between the
tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the
financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in
the financial statements at enacted income tax rates expected to apply to
taxable income in the years when such temporary differences are expected to
be recovered as prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 109 ("SFAS No. 109"), "Accounting for Income Taxes." As changes in tax
laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted
through the provision for income taxes.
An allowance for uncollectibles is provided for financial statement
purposes and the direct write-off method is used for tax reporting. For
years ending April 30, 1998 and prior, income from construction contracts
was reported for tax purposes on the completed-contract method, and for
financial statement purposes on the percentage-of-completion method. In
accordance with income tax regulations, NAC, IAP and NESC are required to
report income from construction contracts using the percentage-of-
completion method for years beginning May 1, 1998. (See Note
G.)
Segment Information
Segment information is presented in accordance with SFAS No. 131,
"Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." This
standard is based on a management approach, which requires segmentation
based upon our internal organization that is used by us for making
operating decisions and assessing performance as the source of the
Company's reportable operating segments. SFAS No. 131 also requires
disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major
customers.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
current period presentation.

April 30, 2000 and 1999
NOTE A (continued)
Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that
could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
exercised or converted into common stock and resulted in the issuance of
common stock. As a result of the Company's net loss, diluted net loss per
share was the same as basic net loss per share for the years ended April
30, 2000 and 1999, since the effect of any potentially dilutive securities
would be antidilutive.
Advertising Costs
Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. These costs were
approximately $13,000 for the year ended April 30, 2000 and $43,000 for the
year ended April 30, 1999.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Statement of Financial Accounting Statements No. 121 ("SFAS No. 121"),
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed of," establishes accounting standards for the
impairment of long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles, and
goodwill related to those assets. Under provisions of SFAS No. 121,
impairment losses are recognized when expected future cash flows are less
than the assets' carrying value. Accordingly, when indicators of impairment
are present, the Company will evaluate the carrying of equipment and
intangibles in relation to the operating performance and future
undiscounted cash flow of the underlying business. SFAS No. 121 requires
analysis of each item an individual assets-by-asset basis, where
applicable. The amount of the impairment loss is the excess of the carrying
amount of the impaired assets over the fair value of the asset. Generally,
fair value represents the expected future cash flows from the use of the
asset or group of assets, discounted at an interest rate commensurate with
the risks involved.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company has elected to
follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees" ("APB No. 25"), and related interpretations, in
accounting for employee stock options. As opposed to SFAS No. 123, which is
a fair value based method, APB No. 25 provides that compensation expense
related to the Company's employee sock options be measured based on the
intrinsic value of the stock option. SFAS No. 123 requires companies that
elect to follow APB 25 to provide pro forma disclosure of the impact of
applying the fair value method of SFAS No. 123.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting
and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities.
Subsequently, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137 which deferred the effective
date of SFAS No.133. SFAS No. 137 is effective for all fiscal quarters of
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company believes that the
adoption of SFAS No. 133 will not have a material impact on the Company's
financial statements.
NOTE B - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Company submits requisitions (invoices) to customers based on work
performed. Pursuant to contract provisions, these requisitions include
amounts, referred to as retainage, which are retained until completion and
acceptance of the contract. Included in accounts receivable are amounts
retained by customers at April 30, 2000 and 1999 of $239,547 and $4,900,
respectively. The allowance for uncollectible accounts at April 30, 2000
and 1999 was $238,890 and $146,800, respectively.
The Company's principal accounts receivable are due from owners of
commercial real estate and other contractors.

NOTE J - STOCK OPTIONS
The Company's 1999 Stock Option Plan provides that key employees are
eligible to receive incentive stock options or nonstatutory stock options
and that directors and advisors shall be eligible to receive nonqualified
options. Under the plan, the Company may grant options to purchase up to
1,000,000 shares of common stock. As of April 30, 2000, there are 555,000
options available for future grants. In the case of an optionee who
beneficially owns more than ten percent of the Company's outstanding shares
as of the time the option is granted, the purchase price of the optioned
stock must be fixed at not less than one hundred and ten percent of the
fair market value. The maximum term of these options may not exceed five
years from the date of grant.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 125 percent,
risk-free interest rate of 6.06 percent, and five-year expected lives.
The fair value of options granted during the year ended April 30, 2000 was
$1.06 per share.
Options were granted on June 14, 1999 at 110% of fair market value, $1.50
per share, and these options were fully vested on granting.

NOTE N - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
The Company is defendant in lawsuits involving personal injury claims
arising from job-site accidents. These plaintiffs' claims exceed the
Company's applicable insurance coverages; therefore, any judgment or
settlement in excess of insurance will require payment by the Company. In
the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to
these actions will not materially affect the financial position of the
Company.
The Company is also defendant in two cases pending involving former
employees of the Company for claims totalling $170,500. The Company has
requested a Bill of Particulars for each case, and the plaintiffs' attorney
has not yet responded. Management has accrued $40,000 as its estimate of
potential liability for these claims.
Leases

NOTE O - RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Company is subject to laws and regulations relating to the protection
of the environment. While it is not possible to quantify with certainty the
potential impact of actions regarding environmental matters, particularly
any future remediation and other compliance efforts, in the opinion of
management, compliance with the present environmental protection laws will
not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, competitive
position or capital expenditures of the Company. However, the Company's
efforts to comply with increasingly stringent environmental regulations may
have an adverse effect on the Company's future earnings.
NOTE P - FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash
equivalents approximate their fair values, principally because of the
short-term maturity of these items.

NOTE P (continued)
Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable
The carrying amounts of accounts receivable and accounts payable in the
balance sheets approximate fair values, principally because of the
short-term maturity of these items.
Short-Term and Long-Term Debt
The carrying amounts of the notes payable approximate fair value based upon
their effective interest rates compared to current market rates.
NOTE Q - ACQUISITION
On July 10, 1999, NAC/Indoor Air Professionals, Inc. purchased certain
tangible and intangible assets for a purchase price of $637,860. The
purchase price was payable $137,860 in cash and 364,963 shares in Company
common stock valued at $500,000. The acquisition was accounted for as a
purchase. The allocation of purchase price follows:
Cost in excess of billings $ 50,000
Fixed assets 37,860
Covenant not to compete 50,000
Goodwill 500,000

$637,860

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated amounts give effect to the
NAC/Indoor Air Professional's acquisition as if it had occurred on May 1,
1998, by consolidating its results of operations with the results of Nesco
Industries, Inc. for the years ended April 30, 2000 and 1999. The unaudited
pro forma consolidated results are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results that would have been achieved had the transaction been in
effect as of the beginning of the periods presented and should not be
construed as being representative of future operating results. The pro
forma basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing
the net loss attributable to common stockholders by
