RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED TO THE
SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994
Revenue decreased 7.4% or $335,000 from $4,518,000 for the six months ended
December 31, 1994 to $4,183,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1995. The
most significant factor effecting the decrease in revenues was the closure at
June 30, 1995 of the Company's collection operation in Beaufort County, South
Carolina which resulted in a decrease in revenues of $382,000. Revenues
increased $225,000 and $30,000 in the first six months of fiscal 1996 within the
Company's long-haul transportation operations and the Company's West Virginia
landfill, respectively. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in
revenues of $100,000 or 10.2% at the Company's South Carolina landfill. The
Company also experienced a decrease in revenues at the Company's Kentucky
landfill of $125,000 or 34.6%. Additionally, revenues overall continue to be
depressed as the Company has only recently received a permit from the State of
Illinois to develop a landfill and the expansion area at the Company's Kentucky
landfill remains in the permit development stage. See Liquidity and Capital
Resources section below for further discussion of capital requirements to
develop these sites. The increase in revenues in the Company's long-haul
transportation operations reflects an increase in hauling capacity through
employment of additional vehicles and increased involvement in hauling soils and
contaminated construction and demolition debris. The increase in revenues at the
Company's West Virginia facility included a 10.9% increase in municipal solid
waste (MSW) revenues, and a greater than 100% increase in construction and
demolition debris and other industrial waste streams offset partially by a 47.3%
decline in asbestos volumes (consistent with the Company's strategy of reducing
the acceptance of less profitable waste streams). The increase in MSW revenues
in West Virginia reflects the continuing increase in availability of MSW as
certain private and municipally owned landfills continue to close as a result of
the inability to comply with the federal Subtitle D regulations and state
regulations requiring more sophisticated liner systems along with the Company's
marketing of MSW waste through transfer station operations. Despite the decrease
in total revenues of 10.2% at the South Carolina landfill, a sizable increase in
disposal revenue of 8.0% occurred, offset by decreased subcontracted hauling
services. The increase in disposal revenues in South Carolina is a reflection of
increased marketing efforts; penetration in the local construction and
demolition debris market assisted by the landfill based roll-off operation; and
improved sales integration with the Company's long-haul transportation
operations. At the Kentucky landfill, the Company ceased placing waste in the
disposal area and commenced operations of a newly permitted transfer station as
of July 1, 1995. The transfer station attempts to assure that the municipal
solid waste disposal needs of the local communities served under the Company's
ten year waste disposal franchise will continue to be satisfied on a monthly
basis until the expansion permit can be secured and the first disposal cell
constructed in the proposed expansion area. The Company has operated the
transfer station at a revenue level of approximately $40,000 per month, which
will continue to result in operating losses at this facility until either an
adequate rate increase is granted for this transfer station or the expansion
permit is obtained and operations return to profitability.
Cost of revenues for the six months ending December 31, 1995 decreased from the
same period in fiscal 1995 by approximately $571,000 or 15.4% to $3,142,000.
Cost of revenues as a percent of revenues decreased from 82% in fiscal 1995 to
75% in fiscal 1996. The percentage decrease
10
<PAGE>
was due primarily to a decrease in the cost of leachate management recognized at
the Company's West Virginia landfill due to an increase in waste placed on the
liner system and reduction in rainfall; a decrease in labor costs at the West
Virginia landfill with the reduction in asbestos handling and increase in MSW
volumes; and cost efficiencies of increased integration of the South Carolina
landfill with the Company's long-haul transportation company. These positive
developments were partially offset by relatively fixed operating costs with
current average waste acceptances of approximately 62% of allowable waste
acceptance volume at the Company's West Virginia landfill in the first six
months of fiscal 1996; further decreases in volume at the Company's Kentucky
landfill with the current operations of a transfer station only partially offset
by reduction in daily operating costs; and increased waste disposal costs to
non-affiliated landfills to increase logistic efficiencies at the Company's
long-haul transportation company.
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") decreased $216,000 or
14.8% from $1,456,000 in the first six months of fiscal 1995 to $1,240,000 in
the first six months of fiscal 1996. SG&A expenses as a percent of revenues
decreased from 32% in fiscal 1995 to 30% in fiscal 1996. SG&A expenses include
substantially all corporate overhead costs including the costs relating to the
accounting, finance, legal and engineering departments as well as the SG&A costs
specifically attributed to the landfill and waste hauling operations. The
decrease in SG&A costs reflects continued reduced salary and related benefit
costs at the corporate level and other overhead costs associated with the
Company's continuing cost containment program.
Other income decreased $89,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1995
compared to the same six months of fiscal 1995 as a result of a gain on the
sales of certain assets of the Company's local waste collection business in
South Carolina recorded in fiscal 1995. Interest expense decreased by $34,000
resulting from a minimal reduction in average borrowing rates and an increase in
capitalized interest costs relating to construction of disposal sites of
$31,000.
The Company's effective income tax rate, including both federal and state taxes,
was 33% for the six months ended December 31, 1995 with no tax benefit recorded
in the current year. The lack of a current year tax benefit and an effective tax
rate less than the federal and state statutory rates in the prior year are
primarily due to a valuation allowance recorded reducing the current and prior
year tax benefit of net operating loss carryforwards due to a lack of certainty
of realization of these loss carryforwards in future years as a result of
recently reported operating losses.
As a result of factors discussed above, a loss of $186,000 or $.03 per share was
recognized for the six months ended December 31, 1995 as compared to a loss of
$393,000 or $.09 per share for the six months ended December 31, 1994.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995, COMPARED TO
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994.
Results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 1995 compared to
the three months ended December 31, 1994, reflects a decrease in net sales of
$134,000, and a decrease in net losses of $11,000 or $.02 per share. These
changes were attributable to the same factors
11
<PAGE>
discussed previously with respect to the six month periods ended December 31,
1995, and December 31, 1994.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At December 31, 1995, current liabilities of $4,245,000 exceeded current assets
of $3,127,000 which includes cash and cash equivalents of $837,000. The Company
obtained $875,000 of working capital through private placements of the Company's
equity securities in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. A significant portion of
working capital was expended during the first half of fiscal year 1996 including
$1,334,000 for development of landfill sites, and $80,000 for the purchase of
operating equipment.
On September 26, 1995, the Company entered into a four-year secured term loan
with First Fidelity Bank, N.A. ("FFB") which provided for borrowings of
$1,350,000 bearing an interest rate of 7.03% secured by a first lien security
interest in the equipment and vehicles of the Company. The agreement contains
certain affirmative and negative covenants and requires the maintenance of
certain levels of tangible net worth and the maintenance of certain working
capital and debt coverage ratios. A portion of the funds ($900,000) were
utilized to refinance the remaining balance of the $3,000,000 refinancing term
loan with Philadelphia National Bank ("PNB"). The remaining funds under the loan
($450,000) were disbursed to the Company in October, 1995 and utilized for
working capital needs. The Company continues to maintain $1,500,000 secured
working capital and letter of credit revolving credit facility with PNB. The
secured revolving credit facility at February 9, 1996 had outstanding cash draws
of $313,000 and $921,000 in outstanding performance letters of credit. The PNB
credit facility provides for interest at prime plus 1/4% and is secured by first
mortgage liens on the South Carolina landfill and a security interest on
accounts receivable. The credit facility, as amended, contains warranties and
financial covenants similar to those contained in the FFB agreement.
The Company has experienced liquidity problems due to its lack of revenues with
the Company currently operating only the special waste hauling operation, the
South Carolina landfill, and the West Virginia landfill at approximately 62% of
its allowable monthly capacity during the first six months of fiscal 1996. Aside
from these operations, the Company has only recently received a permit from the
State of Illinois to develop a landfill, and the expansion area at the Company's
Kentucky landfill remains in the permit development stage. This lack of revenues
and the development status situation in Kentucky and Illinois, among other
factors described above, have led to operating losses with a continued need to
invest in additional transportation equipment, landfill permitting and
development costs, and disposal space cell construction. The Company has
currently addressed such issues, in the absence of significant long-term bank
financing arrangements, primarily by private placements of its equity securities
with net proceeds of $300,000 from sales of common stock in June 1995, and
$875,000 in the quarter ending September 30, 1995.
The Company's operations to date have required substantial amounts of working
capital and the Company expects to expend substantial funds to support the
expansion of its disposal and transportation operations. The Company expects
capital expenditures of approximately $375,000
12
<PAGE>
in the remainder of fiscal 1996 to further the permits at Kentucky, and acquire
necessary landfill and transportation equipment. Significant capital reserves
will be required to construct initial disposal space at the Company's Illinois
landfill for which the Company recently received a development permit. Likewise,
capital reserves would be required to construct initial disposal space at the
Company's Kentucky landfill should the permit be received at this facility
during fiscal 1996 as anticipated. The Company currently does not have such
necessary capital reserves; however the Company is actively working with several
parties to raise additional funds to meet its capital expansion and working
capital requirements through either bank financing or additional equity or debt
placements, which may include the sale of an equity interest in individual
landfill sites. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be
available or, if available, that it will be available on acceptable terms.
However, management currently believes that funds available from operations, the
recently completed equity financing, and other sources described below will be
sufficient to fund operations in effect through fiscal 1996.
The Company will have financial obligations related to closure and post-closure
monitoring and maintenance of these currently permitted and operating landfills.
While the exact amount of future closure obligations cannot be determined, the
Company estimates that the costs of final closure of the currently permitted and
operating areas at the Company's three landfills will be approximately
$5,108,000, of which $1,325,000 has been accrued as of December 31, 1995. The
Company estimates that the costs of post-closure monitoring of groundwater and
methane gas and other required maintenance procedures for the currently
permitted and expansion areas will approximate $27,000 - $120,000 per year for
30 years after closure at each of the Company's two municipal solid waste
accepting facilities and $10,000 per year for 30 years after closure at the
Company's industrial landfill site. The Company has accrued $694,000 for post-
closure obligations as of December 31, 1995, representing approximately 18% of
the present value of such future cash outlays. The Company maintains a bonding
facility pursuant to certain statutory requirements regarding financial
assurance for the closure and post-closure monitoring cost requirements for its
Kentucky and West Virginia disposal facilities. Bonds outstanding at December
31, 1995, total $1,321,607 and $314,571, as closure and post-closure financial
assurance, respectively, for the Company's Kentucky landfill and $214,000 as
closure financial assurance for the Company's West Virginia facility. The bonds
are collateralized by irrevocable letters of credit of $626,000 and trust fund
deposits of $104,134. Additionally, the Company has on deposit $193,421 as
financial assurance for landfill closure and post-closure for the closed
disposal area at its West Virginia disposal facility. The trust fund and the
certificates of deposit are restricted from current operations and are included
within other noncurrent assets. The Company anticipates that the West Virginia
bonding requirements will substantially increase as the State's solid waste
program is approved by the federal government. Financial assurance requirements
could increase to approximately $3,000,000 for closure and $3,600,000 for post-
closure monitoring and care. Additional collateral requirements will be imposed
upon the Company which will affect profitability of the Company. The Company
anticipates providing financial assurance incrementally over the life of the
facility as disposal cells are constructed and certified for acceptance of
waste. Additionally, the Company anticipates that prior to issuance of its
Kentucky expansion permit, additional closure and post-closure financial
assurance mechanisms will be required. The amounts are estimated at $3,300,000
for closure and $300,000 for post-closure. Proposed changes to the current
Kentucky post-closure financial assurance

regulations are pending and the post-closure requirements could increase to
$3,000,000. Under the current financial assurance program, incremental posting
of financial assurance over the life of the facility as disposal cells are
constructed and certified for acceptance of waste is allowed. The Company's
inability to obtain necessary bonds or letters of credit in sufficient amounts
or at acceptable rates would have a material adverse impact on the Company's
business and may preclude it from obtaining or retaining landfill operating
permits.
The Company recently received a development permit from the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency approving development of a new municipal and
non-hazardous special waste landfill in Illinois. The landfill consists of 42
acres and approximately 5,700,000 cubic yards of airspace. The Company has the
right to operate the landfill under a management agreement in exchange for the
payment of a royalty to the landfill's owner of record. The Company has an
option to purchase the landfill within the next forty years for consideration
consisting of nominal cash and a continuing royalty. The Company has incurred
and capitalized legal, engineering, and other permitting costs totalling
$300,000 through December 31, 1995. Construction cost, closure and post-closure
costs will be comparable with those of the Company's West Virginia landfill
previously described.
The Company received approval of a Host Agreement and local approval for its 43
acre expansion area at its Kentucky landfill from the local Solid Waste
Management Board in December 1994 and is currently seeking final state permit
approval. Although the Company expects to receive an expansion permit for the
Kentucky site, there can be no assurance that an expansion permit will be
obtained. Due to the difficulty and time constraints on permitting, the Kentucky
landfill did not have the expansion area in operation by July 1, 1995, the date
it was required to cease accepting waste in the existing area. The Company is
progressing through the permitting process and is currently operating a
permitted transfer station to continue to service the waste needs of the local
host county under the Company's waste disposal franchise agreement expiring in
the Year 2002. The Company recorded an accrual at June 30, 1995 of $150,000
representing the estimated operating loss relating to the Kentucky operations
during fiscal 1996, the Company's estimate of time required to obtain the
expansion permit and to construct the first disposal cell.
