PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
(A) DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUSINESS
PDG Environmental, Inc., the registrant, is a holding company which, through its
wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, is engaged primarily in providing asbestos
abatement services to the private and public sectors.
Prior to fiscal 1991, the registrant was solely engaged in providing asbestos
abatement services. The registrant expanded the scope of its business to include
environmental remediation services in fiscal 1991 through the formation of an
operating subsidiary in Florida specializing in remediating leaking underground
storage tanks ("USTs"). In fiscal 1992, the registrant expanded its underground
storage tank remediation business to Pennsylvania. In December 1992, the
registrant entered the soil remediation business by purchasing a thermal
desorption plant in West Central Florida. The thermal desorption plant was
discontinued effective January 31, 1996, and the plant was sold April 25, 1996.
On July 20, 1994, PDG Remediation, Inc., now known as ICHOR Corporation,
("PDGR") was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as
a wholly-owned subsidiary of the registrant. The registrant's environmental
remediation services business was merged into PDGR effective October 20, 1994 in
order to separate this business segment from the registrant's other business
segments and facilitate an initial public offering of PDGR common stock. On
February 9, 1995, PDGR sold 1,000,000 shares of its common stock and 1,000,000
redeemable warrants to purchase an additional 1,000,000 shares of common stock
to the public. Of the shares of common stock sold, 600,000 were offered by PDGR
and 400,000 were offered by the registrant, thereby reducing the registrant's
ownership in PDGR to approximately 60%.
On July 31, 1996, the registrant entered into a Loan Modification Agreement
("Modification Agreement") with Drummond Financial Corporation ("Drummond")
formerly CVD Financial Corporation. Pursuant to the Modification Agreement,
Drummond purchased all 1,470,320 shares of PDGR common stock held by the
Corporation for $0.82 per share and the aggregate purchase price of $1,205,662
was utilized to reduce the outstanding balance on the line of credit maintained
by the Corporation with Drummond. This resulted in a $203,000 gain on the sale.
(B) DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
ASBESTOS ABATEMENT CONTRACTING BUSINESS
Overview
The registrant, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, provides asbestos
abatement contracting services to the public and private sectors. The asbestos
abatement industry has developed due to increased public awareness in the early
1970's of the health risks associated with asbestos, which was extensively used
in building construction.
Asbestos, which is a fibrous mineral found in rock formations throughout the
world, was used extensively in a wide variety of construction-related products
as a fire retardant and insulating material in residential, commercial and
industrial properties. During the period from approximately 1910 to 1973,
asbestos was commonly used as a construction material in structural steel
fireproofing, as thermal insulation on pipes and mechanical equipment and as an
acoustical insulation material. Asbestos was also used as a component in a
variety of building materials (such as plaster, drywall, mortar and building
block) and in caulking, tile adhesives, paint, roofing felts, floor tile and
other surfacing materials.
In the early 1970's, it became publicly recognized that inhalation or ingestion
of asbestos fibers was a direct cause of certain diseases, including asbestosis
(a debilitating pulmonary disease), lung cancer, mesothelioma (a cancer of the
abdominal and lung lining) and other diseases. In particular, friable
asbestos-containing materials ("ACM") were designated as a potential health
hazard because these materials can produce microscopic fibers and become
airborne when disturbed.
The Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") first banned the use of asbestos
as a construction material in 1973 and the federal government subsequently
banned the use of asbestos in other building materials as well.
Most structures built before 1973 contain ACM in some form and surveys conducted
by the federal government have estimated that 31,000 schools and 733,000 public
and commercial buildings contain friable ACM. Also, many more industrial
facilities are known to contain asbestos.
-1-
<PAGE> 3
The asbestos abatement industry grew rapidly in the 1980's due to increasing
public awareness and concern over health hazards associated with ACM,
legislative action mandating safety standards and requiring abatement in certain
circumstances, and economic pressures on building owners seeking to satisfy the
requirements of financial institutions, insurers and tenants. It is estimated
that the asbestos abatement market grew from approximately $200 million in
revenues in 1983 to approximately $4.0 billion in 1990. However, due to the
effects of the collapse of the real estate industry and the overall recession in
1991, the asbestos abatement market contracted to approximately $3.5 billion and
is expected to remain fairly constant in future years.
OPERATIONS
Through its operating subsidiaries, the registrant 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, government and institutional
buildings, schools and industrial facilities.
The registrant's operating subsidiaries provide asbestos abatement services on a
project contract basis. Individual projects are competitively bid, although most
contracts with private owners are ultimately negotiated. The majority of
contracts undertaken are on a fixed price basis. The length of the contracts are
typically less than one year; however, larger projects may require two or three
years to complete.
The registrant closely monitors contracts by assigning responsibility for each
contract to a project manager who coordinates the project until its completion.
The asbestos abatement process is performed by a qualified labor force in
accordance with regulatory requirements, contract specifications and the
registrant's written operating procedures manual which describes worker safety
and protection procedures, air monitoring protocols and abatement methods.
The registrant's asbestos abatement operations have been generally concentrated
in the northeastern, mid-atlantic, southeastern and southwestern portions of the
United States. The majority of the registrant's national marketing efforts are
performed by members of senior management located in the headquarters facility
in Monroeville, Pennsylvania. Regional marketing and project operations are also
conducted through branch offices located in New York City, New York; Hazleton
and Export, Pennsylvania; Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Houston, Texas and Rock
Hill, South Carolina.
Since the registrant and its subsidiaries are 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.
SUPPLIERS AND CUSTOMERS
The registrant purchases the equipment and supplies used in the asbestos
abatement business from a number of manufacturers. One of these manufacturers
(Aramsco, Inc.) accounts for 19% of the registrant's asbestos abatement
purchases in fiscal 1997. The items purchased are made from the vendor's
available stock and are not covered by a formalized agreement.
The customers of the registrant's asbestos abatement business include both
private sector clients and government or publicly funded entities. In fiscal
1997, the registrant estimates that approximately 72% of its operating
subsidiaries' revenues were derived from private sector clients, 23% from
government contracts and 5% from schools. Due to the nature of the registrant's
business, which involves large contracts that are often completed within one
year, customers that account for a significant portion of revenue in one year
may represent an immaterial portion of revenue in subsequent years. No one
customer comprised over 10% of the registrant's revenues for the year ended
January 31, 1997.
LICENSES
The registrant, through its operating subsidiaries, is licensed and/or certified
in all jurisdictions where required 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.
-2-
<PAGE> 4
INSURANCE AND BONDS
The registrant and its operating subsidiaries maintain liability insurance for
claims arising from its asbestos abatement business. The policy, which provided
a $1.0 million limit per claim and in the aggregate, insures against both
property damage and bodily injury arising from the asbestos abatement
contracting activities of the registrant's operating subsidiaries. Effective
February 1, 1997, coverage was raised to $2.0 million. 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 of up to $10.0 million are available for individual projects. The
registrant also provides worker's compensation insurance, at statutory limits,
which covers the employees of the registrant's operating subsidiaries engaged in
asbestos removal or encapsulation activities.
A substantial number of the registrant's contracts require performance and
payment bonds and the registrant maintains a bonding program to satisfy these
requirements.
COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS
The asbestos abatement industry is highly competitive and includes both small
firms and large diversified firms, which have the financial, technical and
marketing capabilities to compete on a national level. The industry is not
dominated by any one firm. The registrant principally competes on the basis of
competitive pricing, a reputation for quality and safety, and the ability to
obtain the appropriate level of insurance and bonding.
REGULATORY MATTERS
Numerous regulations at the federal, state and local levels impact the asbestos
abatement industry, including the EPA's Clean Air Act and Occupational Safety
and Health Administration ("OSHA") requirements. As outlined below, these
agencies have mandated procedures for monitoring and handling ACM during
abatement projects and the transportation and disposal of ACM following removal.
Current EPA regulations ban the use of ACM in buildings and establish procedures
for controlling the emission of asbestos fibers into the environment during
removal, transportation or disposal of ACM. The EPA also has notification
requirements before removal operations can begin. Many state authorities and
local jurisdictions have implemented similar programs governing removal,
handling and disposal of ACM.
The EPA instituted the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act of 1986 which
requires that schools be inspected for asbestos by accredited personnel. In the
event that the inspection program shows evidence of ACM, a maintenance or
abatement program must be implemented and the school must conduct continuing
operations and maintenance programs including reinspection every three years,
training custodial employees in asbestos hazards and furnishing asbestos
notifications to parents and building occupants.
The transportation of ACM, which has been designated a hazardous material, is
governed by the Department of Transportation under the Hazardous Materials
Transportation Act of 1975 which has established guidelines for the
transportation of ACM.
The health and safety of personnel involved in the removal of asbestos is
protected by OSHA regulations which specify allowable airborne exposure
standards for asbestos workers, engineering and administrative control methods,
work area practices, proper supervision, training, medical surveillance and
decontamination practices for worker protection.
The registrant believes it is in compliance with all of the federal, state and
local statutes and regulations which affect its asbestos abatement business.
BACKLOG
The registrant and its operating subsidiaries had asbestos abatement backlog
orders totaling approximately $14.4 million and $7.7 million at January 31, 1997
and 1996, respectively. The backlog at January 31, 1997 consisted of $9.2
million of uncompleted work on fixed fee contracts and an estimated $5.2 million
of work to be completed on time and materials or unit price contracts. The
backlog at January 31, 1996 consisted of $5.9 million of uncompleted work on
fixed fee contracts and an estimated $1.8 million of work on time and materials
or unit price contracts.
-3-
<PAGE> 5
The backlog represents the portion of contracts at a point in time which remain
to be completed. As these contracts are completed, the backlog will be reduced
and a compensating amount of revenue will be recognized. The Company is
currently working on virtually all of the contracts in its January 31, 1997
backlog and anticipates that all but approximately 15% of this backlog will be
completed and realized as revenue by January 31, 1998 in accordance with the
terms of the applicable contracts between the registrant and the owners of these
properties.
EMPLOYEES
As of January 31, 1997, the registrant employs approximately 86 employees
consisting of senior management and staff employees between its headquarters in
Monroeville and branch offices located in New York City, Hazleton, Export, Fort
Lauderdale, Houston and Rock Hill. The staff employees include accounting,
administrative, sales and clerical personnel as well as project managers and
field supervisors. The registrant also employs laborers for field operations
based upon specific projects, therefore, the precise number varies based upon
the outstanding backlog. Approximately 130 laborers and supervisors are employed
on a steady basis, with casual labor hired on an as-needed basis to supplement
the work force.
A portion of the field laborers who provide services to the registrant are
represented by a number of different unions. In every case, the Company is a
member of a multi-employee plan. Management considers its employee labor
relations to be good.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
On January 31, 1997, the registrant leases certain office space for its
executive offices in Monroeville totaling 3,500 square feet. In addition, a
combination of warehouse or shop and office space is leased in Houston (3,990
square feet), Hazleton (1,800 square feet), Fort Lauderdale (4,725 square feet),
Rock Hill (4,943 square feet) and New York City (3,800 square feet).
The registrant also owns a 15,000 square foot office/warehouse situated on
approximately six (6) acres in Export, Pennsylvania which is subject to a
mortgage.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On June 30, 1995, an action, caption Klein v. PDG Remediation, Inc., et al., No.
CIV-4954 (DAB), was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York asserting federal securities law claims against the
registrant, its directors and certain of its officers, PDGR and the underwriters
of the registrant's initial public offering. The Klein action is brought as a
purported class action on behalf of the named plaintiff and all persons and
entities who purchased PDGR's common stock from February 9, 1995, the effective
date of the initial public offering, through May 23, 1995. The plaintiff alleges
that the defendants violated Sections 11 and/or 15 of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and Section 12(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, by issuing or participating in the issuance of the registration
statement and prospectus which contained material misstatements or omissions,
and that the purported class members purchased shares of Common Stock in
reliance on the allegedly false and misleading registration statement and
prospectus. Specifically, plaintiff alleges that the defendants knew or should
have known that the Florida reimbursement program in which PDGR participates was
operating at a deficit and was being revised to eliminate funding of remediation
activities for lower priority sites. The plaintiff is seeking certification of
the action as a class action and recision of the purchase of shares of common
stock by members of the purported class or statutory damages, as well as
interest, attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses. The registrant believes
that the plaintiff's allegations are without merit or that there are meritorious
defenses to the allegation, and intends to defend the action vigorously. On
September 1, 1995, an answer was filed on behalf of the registrant, its officers
and directors and PDGR which generally denied the plaintiff's claims.
By letter dated December 5, 1995, the plaintiff requested a pre-motion
conference on a motion for class certification. By letter dated December 6,
1995, the underwriter's counsel requested a pre-motion conference on a motion to
dismiss the complaint. In December 1995, the underwriter defendants filed a
notice of motion to dismiss and a memorandum of law in support of the motion.
The motion to dismiss was denied in September 1996. The parties have negotiated
a stipulation concerning class certification, and the court has certified a
class. The court has approved the form of notice to the potential class members
notifying them of the certification, but the registrant has not yet received
notice that the order was entered. It is anticipated that the notice will be
sent to potential class members in June 1997.

The registrant has not historically declared or paid dividends with respect to
its common stock and has no intention to pay dividends in the foreseeable
future. The registrant's ability to pay preferred and common dividends is
prohibited due to restrictions contained in the registrant's loan agreements and
limitations imposed by the registrant's Series A Preferred Stock which require
that dividends must be paid to preferred holders prior to the payment of common
dividends.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The registrant, through its operating subsidiaries, provides asbestos abatement
services to the public and private sectors.
The following paragraphs are intended to highlight key operating trends and
developments in the registrant's operations and to identify other factors
affecting the Company's consolidated results of operations for the three years
ended January 31, 1997.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
YEAR ENDED JANUARY 31, 1997 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED JANUARY 31, 1996
During the year ended January 31, 1997, (fiscal 1997) the registrant's
consolidated revenues remain unchanged at $16.2 million when compared to the
previous fiscal year ended January 31, 1996 (fiscal 1996).
The registrant's reported gross margin increased to $2.5 million in fiscal 1997
compared to $1.4 million in fiscal 1996. The increased margin in fiscal 1997 was
due to higher margins on work obtained and the effect in fiscal 1996 of a cost
overrun on a large contract, an additional provision on a completed contract and
extreme competitive pressures which reduced margins.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased in fiscal 1997 to $2.5
million compared to $3.0 million in fiscal 1996 due to significant cost-saving
measures adopted early in fiscal 1997. The cost-saving measures included the
closure of two branch offices, the resignation of the President of the
registrant, employee layoffs and general cost containment.
As a result of the factors discussed above, the registrant reported a loss from
operations in fiscal 1997 of $0.01 million compared to a loss from operations of
$1.6 million in fiscal 1996.
Interest expense decreased to $0.3 million in fiscal 1997 compared to $0.5
million in fiscal 1996 as a result of a significant reduction in both the
outstanding balance on the indebtedness to Drummond and the related interest
rate. Interest income decreased to $8,000 in fiscal 1997 compared to $24,000 in
fiscal 1996 due to the lower invested cash balances during the current year.
Other income in fiscal 1997 totaled approximately $101,000 versus $9,000 in
fiscal 1996. Significant components of other income were the proceeds from a
casualty loss, rental of excess equipment and the sale of fixed assets. During
the year ended January 31, 1996, the registrant reported a gain of $1.4 million
from the initial public offering of common stock and warrants
-6-
<PAGE> 8
by PDGR since the basis of the registrant's investment was lower than the
proceeds realized from the initial public offering. As a result of the sale, the
registrant's ownership percentage in PDGR was reduced to 59.5%.
As a result of a net operating loss for book purposes, the registrant had no
federal tax provision. During fiscal 1996, the registrant recorded a deferred
income tax provision of $103,000.
The registrant recorded its 59.5% interest in the losses of PDGR resulting in a
$0.5 million and $1.2 million loss from discontinued operations for fiscal 1997
and 1996, respectively. The sale of the remaining PDGR shares to Drummond on
July 31, 1996 resulted in a $0.2 million gain. The $0.5 million loss on disposal
in fiscal 1996 represented the registrant's 59.5% share of the loss resulting
from the sale of PDGR's thermal treatment facility in Florida.
YEAR ENDED JANUARY 31, 1996 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED JANUARY 31, 1995
Consolidated revenues reported by the registrant decreased to $16.2 million for
the year ended January 31, 1996 (fiscal 1996) compared to $17.7 million for the
year ended January 31, 1995 (fiscal 1995). The fiscal 1996 decrease was
primarily attributable to weak market conditions.
Contract costs decreased to $14.8 million in fiscal 1996 compared to $15.5
million in fiscal 1995 and resulted in reported gross margins of $1.4 million
and $2.2 million, respectively in each fiscal year. The lower margins
experienced in fiscal 1996 resulted from extreme competitive pressures, a cost
overrun on a large contract, an additional provision on a completed contract and
reduced volume.
The registrant's selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 9%
between the two fiscal years to $3.0 million in fiscal 1996 compared to $2.8
million in fiscal 1995. The increase between the two fiscal years principally
related to higher legal fees and other costs associated with two acquisitions
which did not materialize.
The factors discussed above resulted in the registrant reporting a loss from
operations of $1.6 million in fiscal 1996 compared to loss from operations of
$0.6 million in fiscal 1995.
The registrant had a net gain of approximately $1.4 million from the initial
public offering of common stock and warrants by PDGR since the basis of the
registrant's investment was lower than the proceeds realized from the initial
public offering. As a result of the sale, the registrant's ownership percentage
in PDGR was reduced from 100% to 59.5% on an ongoing basis.
Interest expense remained stable at $0.5 million. Interest income increased to
$24,000 for the year ended January 31, 1996 compared to $16,000 for the previous
fiscal year due to higher invested cash balances at certain periods throughout
the year.
As a result of a net operating loss for book purposes there was no income tax
provision, except for the reversal of $103,000 of deferred federal income taxes.
The registrant had income tax provision of $24,000 for fiscal 1995.
The loss from discontinued operations in fiscal 1996 is due to the significant
decrease in revenues due to changes to the EDI Program ($0.64 million) and
losses associated with the operation of the Geologic thermal treatment facility
($0.56 million). This compared with income from discontinued operations of $0.9
million in fiscal 1995. The overall change in the thermal treatment market in
the state of Florida prompted PDGR to sell the thermal treatment facility. The
registrant also recorded a loss on the disposition of the thermal treatment
facility of $0.5 million in fiscal 1996.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
FISCAL 1997
During fiscal 1997, the registrant experienced an increase in liquidity of $0.1
million as cash and short-term investments increased from $0.3 million at
January 31, 1996 to $0.4 million at January 31, 1997. The increase in liquidity
in fiscal 1997 was attributable to cash inflows in the amount of $0.2 million
from operating activities and $0.1 million from financing activities partially
offset by $0.1 million used to fund the purchase of property, plant and
equipment.
Specifically, cash inflows from operating activities were generated by a
decrease in other current assets of $0.6 million, a $0.1 million increase in
accrued liabilities, a decrease of $0.5 million in net assets of discontinued
operations and $0.4 million of
-7-
<PAGE> 9
depreciation. Cash outflows related to the accounts receivable balance which
increased $0.5 million as a result of the higher revenues during the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1997, accounts payable which decreased $0.2 million, an
adjustment of $0.2 million due to the gain on the sale of PDGR and $0.5 million
as a result of the net loss generated in the period.
The $0.12 million from financing activities during fiscal 1997 included $0.29
million advanced under the line of credit offset by $0.17 million of principal
repayments made on the Drummond term debt. Additionally, the $1.2 million of
proceeds from the sale of PDGR stock to Drummond was a direct offset to reduce
borrowings under the line of credit.
The registrant's investing activities of $0.1 million during fiscal 1997 were
attributable to the purchase of property, plant and equipment.
The registrant maintains a $1,500,000 line of credit and a $330,000 term loan
with Drummond Financial Corporation ("Drummond") formerly CVD Financial
Corporation. Both the line of credit and the term loan mature August 1, 1997.
On July 31, 1996, the Corporation entered into a Loan Modification Agreement
("Modification Agreement") with Drummond. Pursuant to the Modification
Agreement, Drummond purchased all 1,470,320 shares of PDGR common stock held by
the Corporation for $0.82 per share and the aggregate purchase price of
$1,205,662 was utilized to reduce the outstanding balance on the line of credit
maintained by the Corporation with Drummond. This resulted in a $203,000 gain on
the sale. After application of the proceeds, the debt under the line of credit
was reduced to $1,214,332 at July 31, 1996, and the maximum allowable borrowings
under the line of credit were capped at $1,500,000. The maturity date of the
line of credit and term loan agreements was extended until August 1, 1997. As of
January 31, 1997, the Corporation was fully borrowed on the $1.5 million line of
credit.
The closing of the sale was subject to a number of conditions, including (a) the
reincorporation of PDGR as a Delaware corporation; (b) the reincorporation of
PDGR resulting in no material liabilities to PDGR; and (c) not more than five
percent (5%) of the shareholders of PDGR exercising dissenters' rights in
connection with the reincorporation. PDGR satisfied all requirements for
reincorporation and reincorporated in Delaware on November 13, 1996. No material
liabilities to PDGR resulted from this reincorporation. The period for the
exercise of dissenters' rights expired on November 12, 1996, and no dissenters'
rights were exercised.
The registrant has received a $375,000 commitment from a financial institution
to refinance the $330,000 term loan payable to Drummond maturing on August 1,
1997. The new loan will have a seven-year term at a 9.5% interest rate fixed for
the first four years of the loan. The interest will then be readjusted to the
current five year treasury bill rate plus 3.25% for the remaining three years of
the loan. The new loan will require monthly debt service payments of
approximately $6,500 which is a reduction of approximately $10,000 from the
current Drummond debt service. Closing on the loan is expected by mid-May 1997.
Subject to the closing of the new loan, the registrant will have $1,455,000, as
of January 31, 1997, outstanding on the line of credit with Drummond maturing
August 1, 1997. The registrant intends to attempt to negotiate a new line of
credit in excess of $1 million, enter into a sale/leaseback of certain equipment
and/or execute a private placement of the registrant's securities prior to
August 1, 1997 to generate the funds necessary to repay the remaining
outstanding balance on the line of credit payable to Drummond. Absent receiving
the cash from the previously discussed financing and equity raising and not
having sufficient cash resources to repay the entire remaining amount due
Drummond, the registrant could enter into the sale of receivables and/or the
conversion of up to $800,000 of debt held by Drummond into shares of the
registrant's common stock providing that the subsequent immediate resale of such
stock has been arranged or enter into negotiations with Drummond to facilitate a
partial paydown on the remaining amount due Drummond with an extension of the
maturity date of the remaining amount due. There can be no assurance that the
refinancings or other sources of funds described in this and the preceding
paragraph will be achieved. If these refinancings or other sources of funds are
not achieved, the registrant's liquidity would be materially adversely affected.
On January 27, 1995, PDG Environmental Services, Inc. ("PDGES"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of PDGR, entered into an agreement with Sirrom Environmental Funding
LLC ("Sirrom Agreement"), which provided $0.75 million of funding in connection
with clean-up activities under the Florida state-funded site rehabilitation
program (the EDI Program) in which PDGES has participated. The Sirrom Agreement
expired on January 27, 1997 and enabled PDGES to fund the amounts which PDGES
billed under the EDI Program at the prime rate of interest, as defined, plus 2%.
PDGES was advanced 100% of amounts billed, but was required to deposit 10% into
an escrow account to cover potential disallowances. The registrant and
-8-
<PAGE> 10
PDGR are guarantors on the Sirrom Agreement. As of January 31, 1997, PDGES was
advanced approximately $0.7 million under the Sirrom Agreement.
On August 21, 1995, PDGES entered into an agreement with Sirrom Environmental
Funding LLC ("Second Sirrom Agreement"), which provides $4.0 million of funding
relative to unbilled amounts under the EDI Program. The Second Sirrom Agreement,
which expires on August 21, 1997, enables PDGR to fund prospective amounts
billed under the EDI Program at the prime rate of interest, as defined, plus 3%.
Although PDGES will be advanced 100% of amounts billed, it is required to
deposit 34% into an escrow account to cover potential disallowances, future
interest costs, and a commitment fee of 2% of the total funding provided. PDGR
also issued a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of PDGR's common stock at an
exercise price of $1.37 per share in conjunction with the execution of the
Second Sirrom Agreement. The registrant and PDGR are guarantors under the Second
Sirrom Agreement. As of January 31, 1997, PDGES had been advanced $4.0 million
under the Second Sirrom Agreement.
On October 31, 1996, the registrant advised Sirrom that it would no longer
guarantee future advances to PDGES under either the Sirrom Agreement or the
Second Sirrom Agreement. At that time, PDGES had been advanced approximately
$0.7 million and $2.3 million under the Sirrom Agreement and the Second Sirrom
Agreement, respectively.
PROSPECTIVE INFORMATION
The registrant's current business consists entirely of asbestos abatement
contracting subsequent to the sale of its remaining interest in ICHOR. The
registrant believes that this business focus solely upon asbestos abatement
contracting, along with the previously-mentioned cost-saving measures and an
increasing backlog, will put the registrant in the position to better achieve
profitable operations given a sufficient level of revenues.
The registrant has been named in a purported class action suit involving the
purchase by all persons and entities of the registrant's common stock from
February 9, 1995 through May 23, 1995. The action alleges that the defendants
violated certain federal securities laws.
The registrant believes that the allegations are without merit or that there are
meritorious defenses to the allegations, and intends to defend the action
vigorously. If, however, the plaintiff is successful in its claims, a judgment
rendered against the registrant and the other defendants would likely have a
material adverse effect on the business and operations of the registrant.
In order to repay the remaining amount due Drummond and to have sufficient
capital to fund a higher level of operations, the registrant will continue to
explore the consummation of a new line of credit, sale/leaseback of certain
equipment and/or the private placement of the registrant's securities.
Should the registrant be unable to raise sufficient capital, it would endeavor
to fund the shortfall relative to the repayment of the remaining amount due
Drummond from cash generated by operations. Absent receiving the cash from the
previously discussed financing and equity raising and not having sufficient cash
resources to repay the entire remaining amount due Drummond, the registrant
could enter into the sale of receivables and/or the conversion of up to $800,000
of debt held by Drummond into shares of the registrant's common stock providing
that the subsequent immediate resale of such stock has been arranged or enter
into negotiations with Drummond to facilitate a partial paydown on the remaining
amount due Drummond with an extension of the maturity date of the remaining
amount due. There can be no assurance that the refinancings or other sources of
funds described in this and the preceding paragraph will be achieved. If these
refinancings or other sources of funds are not achieved, the registrant's
liquidity would be materially adversely affected.

FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
During the two most recent fiscal years of the registrant, there were no
disagreements with the independent auditors on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedure, which disagreement would have caused them to make reference to the
subject matter of the disagreement or disagreements in connection with their

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
PDG Environmental, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PDG
Environmental, Inc. (the "Corporation") as of January 31, 1997 and 1996, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 1997. Our
audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index at
Item 14(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of
the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements and schedule 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 disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of PDG
Environmental, Inc. at January 31, 1997 and 1996, and the consolidated results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended January 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when
considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PDG ENVIRONMENTAL, INC.
FOR THE THREE YEARS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1997
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
BUSINESS ACTIVITIES
PDG Environmental, Inc. (the "Corporation") is engaged in providing asbestos
abatement services to the public and private sectors.
Asbestos abatement services are generally performed under the terms of fixed
price contracts or time and materials contracts with a duration of less than one
year, although larger projects may require two or three years to complete.
Effective July 20, 1994, the Corporation formed a new subsidiary, PDG
Remediation, Inc., now known as ICHOR Corporation, ("PDGR"). The Corporation's
environmental remediation services business was merged into PDGR effective
October 20, 1994. PDGR operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation
until February 9, 1995, at which time, the Corporation sold approximately 40.5%
of its interest in PDGR to the public. The sale consisted of 1,000,000 shares of
PDGR common stock (at $5.00 per share) and 1,000,000 redeemable warrants to
purchase an additional 1,000,000 shares of PDGR common stock (at $0.10 per
warrant). The Corporation sold 400,000 of its PDGR common shares as part of the
offering and received net proceeds of approximately $1,400,000. PDGR sold
600,000 newly issued common shares plus 1,000,000 redeemable warrants and
received net proceeds of approximately $2,300,000. The Corporation recognized a
pre-tax gain of $1,354,000 on the transaction. The redeemable warrants entitles
the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00
per share. The redeemable warrants may be exercised at any time and expire on
February 9, 2000.
On July 31, 1996, the Corporation entered into a Loan Modification Agreement
("Modification Agreement") with Drummond Financial Corporation ("Drummond")
formerly CVD Financial Corporation. Pursuant to the Modification Agreement,
Drummond purchased all 1,470,320 shares of PDGR common stock held by the
Corporation for $0.82 per share and the aggregate purchase price of $1,205,662
was utilized to reduce the outstanding balance on the line of credit maintained
by the Corporation with Drummond. This resulted in a $203,000 gain on the sale.
OPERATIONS
Subject to the closing of the new $375,000 loan as discussed further in Note 8,
the Corporation will have $1,455,000 remaining to repay, (as of January 31,
1997), on the line of credit with Drummond maturing August 1, 1997. It is the
intention of the Corporation to negotiate a new line of credit in excess of $1
million, enter into a sale/leaseback of certain equipment and/or execute a
private placement of the Corporation's securities prior to August 1, 1997 to
generate the funds necessary to repay the remaining outstanding balance on the
line of credit payable to Drummond.
Should the Corporation be unable to raise sufficient capital, it would endeavor
to fund the shortfall relative to the repayment of the remaining amount due
Drummond from cash generated by operations. Absent receiving the cash from the
previously discussed financing and equity raising and not having sufficient cash
resources to repay the entire remaining amount due Drummond, the Corporation
could enter into the sale of receivables and/or the conversion of up to $800,000
of debt held by Drummond into shares of the Corporation's common stock providing
that the subsequent immediate resale of such stock has been arranged or enter
into negotiations with Drummond to facilitate a partial paydown on the remaining
amount due Drummond with an extension of the maturity date of the remaining
amount due. There can be no assurance that the refinancings or other sources of
funds described in this and the preceding paragraph will be achieved. If these
refinancings or other sources of funds are not achieved, the Corporation's
liquidity would be materially adversely affected.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
FINANCIAL PRESENTATION:
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION:
The consolidated financial statements include the Corporation's wholly-owned
subsidiaries. The accounts of PDGR in which the Corporation maintained, until
July 31, 1996, a 59.5% ownership interest subsequent to the initial public
offering of PDGR's common stock and warrants as described above, are reflected
as a discontinued operation. All significant intercompany transactions are
eliminated in consolidation.
REVENUES AND COST RECOGNITION:
Revenues for asbestos abatement are recognized on the percentage-of-completion
method, measured by the relationship of total cost incurred to total estimated
contract costs (cost-to-cost method).
Contract costs include direct labor and material costs and those indirect costs
related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools,
depreciation, repairs and insurance. Selling, general and administrative costs
are charged to expense as incurred. Bidding and proposal costs are also
recognized as an expense in the period that such amounts are incurred.
Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recognized in the
period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job
conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract
penalty provisions and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to
estimated costs and income, and are recognized in the period in which the
revisions are determined. Profit incentives are included in revenues when their
realization is reasonably assured.
CASH AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS:
Cash and short-term investments consist principally of currency on hand, demand
deposits at commercial banks, and liquid investment funds having a maturity of
three months or less at the time of purchase. At January 31, 1997 and 1996, cash
and short-term investments included two certificates of deposit totaling
$75,000, which secure underlying letters of credit and cash held in escrow
totaling $75,000.
INVENTORIES:
Inventories consisting of materials and supplies used in the completion of
contracts is stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or
market.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT:
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated over the
estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method.
INCOME TAXES:
Earnings on construction contracts, for income tax purposes, are determined
using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting.
Deferred income taxes are recognized for the future tax effects of temporary
differences between financial and income tax reporting based on enacted laws and
rates.
F-8
<PAGE> 28
RECLASSIFICATIONS:
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements
to conform with the current year presentation. Additionally, PDGR was treated as
a discontinued operation (see Note 3), and all prior year financial statements
were reclassified to conform with this presentation.
NOTE 3 - DISCONTINUED OPERATION
On May 1, 1996, the Corporation made the decision to divest its remaining 59.5%
interest in PDGR. The loss from discontinued operations in the Statement of
Consolidated Operations represents the Corporation's 59.5% portion of PDGR's
loss during fiscal 1997 and 1996 and 100% of PDGR's income during fiscal 1995.
No corporate interest expense has been allocated to the discontinued operations
of PDGR.
During the six-month period ending July 31, 1996, PDGR had revenues of $2.5
million. Revenues of PDGR were $4.8 million and $9.4 million in fiscal years
1996 and 1995, respectively. See Note 6 for a discussion of the sale of PDGR.
The Corporation accounted for GeoLogic Recovery Systems ("Geologic"), a
subsidiary of PDGR, as a discontinued operation as of January 31, 1996 and,
accordingly, its operating results are reported in this manner in all years
presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Corporation
recorded a loss on the disposition of GeoLogic of $0.5 million in fiscal 1996
net of minority interest.
NOTE 4 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable at January 31, 1997 and 1996 include $220,000 and $84,000,
respectively, of retainage receivables. For the years ended January 31, 1997 and
1996, no single customer contributed to 10% or more of the Corporation's
consolidated revenues.
It is the Corporation's policy not to require collateral with respect to
outstanding receivables. The Corporation continuously reviews the
creditworthiness of customers and, when necessary, requests collateral to secure
the performance of services.
All of the Corporation's outstanding accounts receivable are expected to be
collected within the normal operating cycle of one year.

respectively, related to contracts where the customers are disputing the related
scope.
F-9
<PAGE> 29
The Corporation is litigating to recover the additional monies owed under one
contract and negotiating a contract claim on the other contract. Management
believes that the amounts will ultimately be recovered.
NOTE 6 - LINES OF CREDIT
The Corporation has a $1,500,000 line of credit facility which expires on August
1, 1997 and an $330,000 term loan which expires on August 1, 1997 with Drummond
Financial Corporation ("Drummond") formerly CVD Financial Corporation. All
borrowings under the Drummond Agreement bear interest at a bank rate (as
defined) plus 3%. Borrowings under the Drummond Agreement are limited to 85% of
the receivables borrowing base. The principal balance of the term loan amortizes
over a five year period and is secured by the fixed assets and a mortgage on
certain property of the Corporation. The Corporation was required to supply
certain financial and non-financial information under the Drummond Agreement.
Additionally, a material adverse change in the Corporation's financial condition
may trigger an event of default. The Corporation was also prohibited under the
Drummond Agreement from declaring any dividends.
The Corporation issued 277,500 warrants at an exercise price of $1.125 in fiscal
1995 per share in fiscal 1995 in conjunction with the execution of the Drummond
Agreement which have been recorded as an additional cost, ($48,000), of the
financing.
Effective June 30, 1994, Integra Bank sold its interest in the Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement to Drummond for a purchase price of 70% of the
aggregate outstanding principal balance. Additionally, Integra Bank sold its
interest in an outstanding mortgage to Drummond at 70% of the aggregate
outstanding principal balance.
In fiscal 1995, Drummond afforded the Corporation forgiveness of indebtedness in
the amount of $789,000 in connection with the purchase of the loans from Integra
Bank. Accordingly, the Corporation recognized an extraordinary gain of
approximately $772,000 which includes a $59,000 income tax provision and a
charge of $52,000 representing the estimated fair market value of 150,000
warrants issued to Drummond at an exercise price of $0.75 per share in
connection with the transaction.
On October 31, 1995, the Corporation entered into an Amended and Restated Loan
Agreement with Drummond wherein the maximum borrowings under this line of credit
was set at $2,419,994. The interest rate under this line of credit was reduced
from prime plus 7% to prime plus 3% and all amounts borrowed under this line of
credit were due and payable on December 31, 1996. A term loan for $559,991 was
also provided as part of the Loan Agreement, with interest at the prime rate of
interest plus 3%. The Term Loan required monthly principal payments of $13,533
plus interest and matured December 31, 1996. Prior to the October 31, 1995
refinancing, Drummond held warrants to purchase 752,500 shares of the
Corporation's common stock at prices ranging from $0.75 to $1.25 per share. As
part of the new Loan Agreement, Drummond continues to hold the warrants.
As part of the aforementioned Loan Agreement, Drummond was granted the right to
convert any portion of the outstanding balances of the line of credit and the
term loan, any time after January 31, 1996, into common stock of the
Corporation. The conversion price is the lesser of the market price, as defined,
of the Corporation's common stock on January 31, 1996 or the market price on the
date of the conversion notice, except that the conversion price, in neither
case, shall not be less than $0.65 per share. Additionally, the Corporation
pledged PDGR shares representing its 59.5% interest as additional collateral for
the Loan Agreement.
On April 25, 1996, the Corporation entered into a Loan Extension Agreement
("Extension Agreement") whereby the maturity date for the line of credit and
term loan were extended to May 1, 1997.
On July 31, 1996, the Corporation entered into a Loan Modification Agreement
("Modification Agreement") with Drummond. Pursuant to the Modification
Agreement, Drummond purchased all 1,470,320 shares of PDGR common stock held by
the Corporation for $0.82 per share and the aggregate purchase price of
$1,205,662 was utilized to reduce the outstanding balance on the line of credit
maintained by the Corporation with Drummond. This resulted in a $203,000 gain on
the sale ($0.03 per share). After application of the proceeds, the debt under
the line of credit was reduced to $1,214,332 at July 31, 1996, and the maximum
allowable borrowings under the line of credit were capped at $1,500,000. The
maturity date of the line of credit and term loan agreements was extended until
August 1, 1997. As of January 31, 1997, the Corporation was fully borrowed on
the $1.5 million line of credit.
The closing of the sale was subject to a number of conditions, including (a) the
reincorporation of PDGR as a Delaware corporation; (b) the reincorporation of
PDGR resulting in no material liabilities to PDGR; and (c) not more than five
percent (5%) of the shareholders of PDGR exercising dissenters' rights in
connection with the reincorporation. PDGR satisfied all requirements for
reincorporation and reincorporated in Delaware on November 13, 1996. No material
liabilities to PDGR
F-10
<PAGE> 30
resulted from this reincorporation. The period for the exercise of dissenters'
rights expired on November 12, 1996, and no dissenters' rights were exercised.
The proceeds on the sale of PDG Remediation, Inc. common stock of $1,206,000 for
the year ended January 31, 1997 were not received in the form of cash, but
rather were a direct offset to the debt owed Drummond Financial Corporation.
On January 27, 1995, PDG Environmental Services, Inc. ("PDGES"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of PDGR, entered into a Master Funding and Indemnification Agreement
with Sirrom Environmental Funding, LLC, (the "Sirrom Agreement") which provides
$750,000 of funding in connection with clean-up activities under the EDI
Program. The Sirrom Agreement expired on January 27, 1997 and enabled PDGES to
fund the amounts which PDGR bills under the EDI Program at the prime rate of
interest, as defined, plus 2%. PDGES is advanced 100% of amounts billed, and is
required to deposit 10% into an escrow account to cover potential disallowances.
PDGR and the Corporation are guarantors on the Sirrom Agreement. As of January
31, 1997, PDGES was advanced approximately $0.7 million under the Sirrom
Agreement.
On August 21, 1995, PDGR entered into a second Master Funding and
Indemnification Agreement with Sirrom Environmental Funding, LLC (the "Second
Sirrom Agreement"), which provides $4,000,000 of funding relative to unbilled
amounts under the EDI Program. The Second Sirrom Agreement, which expires on
August 21, 1997, enables the Corporation to fund amounts billed under the EDI
Program at the prime rate of interest, as defined, plus 3%. Although PDGR will
be advanced 100% of amounts billed, it is required to deposit 34% into an escrow
account to cover potential disallowances, future interest costs, and a
commitment fee of 2% of the total funding provided. PDGR also issued a warrant
to purchase 100,000 shares of PDGR's common stock to Sirrom Environmental
Funding, LLC at an exercise price of $1.37 per share in conjunction with the
execution of the Second Sirrom Agreement. The warrants expire on January 31,
1999. PDGR has recorded $50,000 as the estimated fair market value of the
warrant. PDGR and the Corporation are guarantors on the Second Sirrom Agreement.
As of January 31,1997, PDGES was advanced approximately $4.0 million under the
Second Sirrom Agreement.
On October 31, 1996, the Corporation advised Sirrom that it would no longer
guarantee future advances to PDGR under either the Sirrom Agreement or the
Second Sirrom Agreement. At that time, PDGR was advanced approximately $0.7
million and $2.3 million under the Sirrom Agreement and the Second Sirrom
Agreement, respectively.
It is expected that the amounts under the aforementioned guarantees will
decrease in the first half of calendar 1997 as the balances due PDGES from the
EDI Program are remitted thereby allowing PDGR to reduce the amounts owed
Sirrom.
The carrying value of the Corporation's credit facility and term loan
approximate their fair value.

</TABLE>
The Corporation has a $375,000 commitment from a financial institution to
refinance the $330,000 term loan payable to Drummond maturing on August 1, 1997.
The new loan will have a seven-year term at a 9.5% interest rate fixed for the
first four years of the loan. The interest rate will then be readjusted to the
current five year treasury bill rate plus 3.25% for the remaining three-year
term of the loan. The new loan will require monthly debt service payments of
approximately $6,500 which is a reduction of approximately $10,000 from the
current Drummond debt service. Closing on the loan is expected by mid-May 1997.
As the Corporation has the ability and the intent to refinance the remaining
term debt due Drummond ($330,000) and repay $45,000 of the line of credit, those
amounts have been reflected as debt due after one year on the balance sheet.
The majority of the Corporation's property and equipment are pledged as security
for the above obligations.
Maturity requirements on long-term debt aggregate $13,000 in fiscal 1998,
$56,000 in fiscal 1999, $55,000 in fiscal 2000, $56,000 in fiscal 2001, $62,000
in fiscal 2002 and $115,000 thereafter.
The Corporation paid approximately $328,000, $528,000 and $367,000 for interest
costs during the years ended January 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES
The Corporation provides income taxes under the liability method as required by
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109.
At January 31, 1997, the Corporation has net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $10,393,000 for income tax purposes which expire in years 2002
through 2011. For financial reporting purposes, a valuation allowance of
approximately $3,385,000 has been recognized to offset the deferred tax asset
related to those carryforwards and to other deferred tax assets. When realized,
the tax benefit of these net operating loss carryforwards will be applied to
reduce income tax expense. These loss carryforwards are subject to various
restrictions based on future operations of the group. The valuation allowance
increased by approximately $194,000 during the year ended January 31, 1997. The
increase was primarily due to the current year increase in deductible temporary
differences.
The Corporation filed a consolidated federal return with its subsidiaries in
fiscal 1995. Due to the public offering of PDGR stock on February 9, 1995, the
Corporation's ownership in PDGR was reduced to 59.5%. Therefore, the Corporation
and PDGR filed separate federal returns for fiscal 1996. For state purposes,
each subsidiary generally files separate returns.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes
and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The significant components of the
Corporation's deferred tax liabilities and assets as of January 31, 1997 and
1996 are as follows:

state income taxes during the years ended January 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
NOTE 10 - NOTES RECEIVABLE - OFFICERS
At January 31, 1997 and 1996, the Corporation had approximately $132,000 and
$197,000, respectively, in notes receivable from its officers in the form of
personal loans. A breakdown of the notes receivable balance at January 31, 1997
by officer is as follows: John C. Regan, Chairman -$95,000; Dulcia Maire,
Secretary -$30,000 and Lawrence Horvat, Vice President - $7,000. These loans are
evidenced by demand notes and bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum.
NOTE 11 - COMPENSATION PLANS
The Corporation has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related
Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because, as
discussed below, the alternative fair value accounting provided for under
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," requires use of option valuation models that were not developed
for use in valuing employee stock options. Under APB 25, because the exercise
price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the
underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.
The Corporation maintains a qualified incentive stock option plan (the "Plan")
which provides for the grant of incentive options to purchase an aggregate of up
to 1,550,000 shares of the common stock of the Corporation to certain officers
and employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. All options granted have
10-year terms. Options to purchase 1,075,000 and 190,000 shares of the
Corporation's common stock at an exercise price of $0.36 per share were granted
under the Plan effective June 17, 1996 and November 1, 1996, respectively with
520,000 shares and 765,000 shares issuable related to fiscal 1997 and 1998,
respectively. Vesting of 50% of the respective year's options is contingent upon
the individual offices, and in the case of the executive offices, the
Corporation, meeting pre-established financial goals for the respective fiscal
year. If the financial goals are exceeded by 25%, the remaining 50% of the
options for the respective fiscal year vest. If financial goals are not
achieved, the options do not vest and are returned to the plan for future
grants.
Options granted in fiscal 1996 and prior years had three-year vesting
conditioned upon continued employment with the Corporation.
The following table summarizes information with respect to the Plan for the
three years ended January 31, 1997.

Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by
SFAS Number 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its
employee stock options under the fair value method of that Statement. The fair
value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes
option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for fiscal
1997: risk-free interest rate of 7%; dividend yield of 0%; volatility factors of
the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 1.43; and a
weighted-average expected life of the option of 7 years.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because
the 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.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options
is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The Company's pro
forma information follows:

The Corporation also maintains the 1990 Stock Option Plan for Employee Directors
(the "Employee Directors Plan") which provides for the grant of options to
purchase an aggregate of up to 250,000 shares of the Corporation's common stock.
Options to purchase 50,000 shares of the Corporation's common stock at an
exercise price of $0.60 per share have been granted under the Employee Director
Plan. At January 31, 1997, all of the options granted under the Employee
Directors Plan were exercisable.
F-15
<PAGE> 35
The 1990 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "Non-Employee
Directors Plan") provides for the grant of options to purchase an aggregate of
up to 350,000 shares of the Corporation's common stock. Options to purchase
112,212 shares of the Corporation's common stock at prices ranging from $0.36
per share to $0.60 per share have been granted under the Non-Employee Directors
Plan. At January 31, 1997, all of the options granted under the Non-Employee
Directors Plan were exercisable.
No pro forma information is presented relative to the non-quantified stock
option plan, the Employee Director Plan or the Non-Employee Directors Plan as
the effect is either immaterial or non-existent.
Effective November 1, 1994, the Corporation established the PDG Environmental
Retirement Savings Plan (the "Retirement Savings Plan") under Section 401(k) of
the Internal Revenue Code. Substantially all full time employees with at least
one year of service, except for certain bargaining unit employees, are eligible
to participate in the Retirement Savings Plan. Employees may contribute to the
Retirement Savings Plan up to 15% of their eligible compensation. Under the
terms of the Retirement Savings Plan, the Corporation may match up to 6% of
compensation; to be determined annually by the Corporation's Board of Directors.
Corporation contributions are 100% vested after seven years of service. There
were no contributions made by the Corporation in the years ended January 31,
1997 and 1996.
NOTE 12 - STOCK WARRANTS
At January 31, 1997 and 1996, the Corporation had approximately 1,105,000 and
1,007,000, respectively, of fully vested warrants outstanding. The exercise
price of the warrants range from $0.375 per share to $2.50 per share and the
expiration dates range from fiscal 1997 through fiscal 2001. The majority of
these warrants were issued in conjunction with the financings discussed in Note
6.
NOTE 13 - PREFERRED STOCK
At the Corporation's Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on July 23, 1993, the
following matters were approved by a majority of the Corporation's preferred and
common stockholders which affected the Corporation's Series A Preferred stock
and common stock: a reduction in the Series A Preferred Stock dividend rate from
9% to 2% and the cancellation of the accrued but unpaid dividends and the
special voting rights associated with such preferred stock in the event of a
certain accumulation of accrued but unpaid dividends thereon; and a
recapitalization of the Corporation in order to effect a one for two reverse
stock split (the "Recapitalization"). In exchange for the forfeiture of the
accrued but undeclared and unpaid dividends, the holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock were granted a common stock right which, if and when declared by
the Board of Directors, will grant to the holders of such common stock rights
shares of the common stock of the Corporation. At the May 23, 1995 Board of
Directors meeting, the issuance of one third of the shares (280,071 common
shares) covered by the aforementioned right was approved. At January 31, 1997
and 1996, there were 560,143 common stock rights outstanding. The
Recapitalization was contingent upon the Corporation's listing on the American
Stock Exchange. The Corporation made a decision not to currently pursue such a
listing, therefore, the Recapitalization was indefinitely postponed.
On November 1, 1995 and September 8, 1994, 49,047 shares and 29,740 shares,
respectively, of the Corporation's Series A Preferred Stock and cumulative
dividends in arrears were converted into 204,902 shares and 121,392 shares,
respectively, of Common Stock. At January 31, 1997, there were 185,925 shares of
the Corporation's Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. Cumulative dividends in
arrears on the Series A Preferred Stock were approximately $128,000 at January
31, 1997.
The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into four shares of the
Corporation's common stock at the option of the preferred stockholder. However,
if at the time of conversion the Corporation is in arrears on the payment of
dividends on such preferred stock, the holder is entitled to receive additional
shares of the Corporation's common stock at the conversion price of $2.50 per
share, upon conversion, equivalent to the cumulative dividends in arrears. The
Series A Preferred Stock is callable at the Corporation's option at a cash price
per share of $11.00 plus any accrued and unpaid dividends until the redemption
date. The conversion rate on the Series A Preferred Stock is subject to
adjustment as a result of certain changes in the Corporation's capital structure
or distributions to common stockholders (except for cash dividends permissible
under law).
NOTE 14 - NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
The loss per common share for the years ended January 31, 1997 and 1996 are
computed by adjusting the net loss for annual preferred dividend requirements
and then dividing this amount by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding during the year. Stock options and warrants have not been
reflected as exercised for purposes of computing the
F-16
<PAGE> 36
loss per share for the years ended January 31, 1997 and 1996 since the exercise
of such options and warrants would be antidilutive. Earnings per share for the
year ended January 31, 1995 is calculated by dividing the net income by the
average common shares outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalents.
NOTE 15 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Corporation leases certain facilities and equipment under non-cancelable
operating leases. Rental expense under operating leases aggregated $217,000,
$279,000 and $325,000 for the years ended January 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. Minimum rental payments under these leases with initial or
remaining terms of one year or more at January 31, 1997 aggregated $379,000 and
payments due during the next five fiscal years are as follows: 1998 - $165,000;
1999 - $128,000; 2000 - $71,000; 2001 - $11,000; and 2002 - $4,000.
The registrant has been named defendant in a purported class action involving
the purchase by all persons and entities who purchased PDGR's common stock from
February 9, 1995, the effective date of the initial public offering, through May
23, 1995. The plaintiff is seeking certification of the action as a class action
and recision of the purchase of shares of common stock by members of the
purported class or statutory damages, as well as interest, attorneys' fees and
other costs and expenses. The registrant believes that the plaintiff's
allegations are without merit or that there are meritorious defenses to the
allegation, and intends to defend the action vigorously.
By letter dated December 5, 1995, the plaintiff requested a pre-motion
conference on a motion for class certification. By letter dated December 6,
1995, the underwriter's counsel requested a pre-motion conference on a motion to
dismiss the complaint. In December 1995, the underwriter defendants filed a
notice of motion to dismiss and a memorandum of law in support of the motion.
The motion to dismiss was denied in September 1996. The parties have negotiated
a stipulation concerning class certification, and the court has certified a
class. The court has approved the form of notice to the potential class members
notifying them of the certification, but the registrant has not yet received
notice that the order was entered. It is anticipated that the notice will be
sent to potential class members in June 1997.
The action is still in the discovery stage.
