ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations:
In the first quarter of fiscal 1998 the Company reported a net loss of $554,000
or $0.03 per share as compared to a net loss of $652,000 or $0.06 per share in
the prior year. Sales for the quarter were $1,560,000 compared with $559,000 in
the prior year. The 179% increase in sales over the same quarter in the prior
year is due primarily to the acquisition of Ustman Industries in May 1997.
Gross margins of 63% were achieved by focusing the Company's business in the
monitoring of underground storage tanks using Statistical Inventory
Reconciliation. The Company's strategic plan calls for it to reposition itself
in pursuit of its most significant market opportunity, leak detection/monthly
monitoring of underground storage tanks and to eliminate its existing holding
company structure. As part of this strategic plan, the Company intends to divest
its Toxguard Fluid Technologies, Inc (on-site antifreeze recycling) subsidiary.
Subsequent to June 30, 1997 Toxguard Systems, Inc. ceased operations and filed a
voluntary petition for bankruptcy under Chapter 7. Toxguard Systems, Inc.'s
financial statements have not been consolidated with those of the Company and
prior quarter results have been restated.
Included in the loss of $554,000 for the quarter were costs of approximately
$312,000 for transitioning the Company's operations from Kansas City, and Irvine
to Denver. It is expected that these costs will be significantly reduced in the
second quarter of the fiscal year. Considering the elimination of these costs,
and the depreciation and amortization charges of $391,000 for the quarter, on an
ongoing basis the Company would have achieved positive cash flow during the
quarter.
The Company's sales depend in part upon its customer's decision as to when to
implement measures to meet 1998 compliance requirements. The Company believes
that the market for its services may accelerate as compliance deadlines
approach.
Financial Condition and Liquidity:
At September 30, 1997 the Company's current liabilities exceeded current assets
by $141,000 compared to $119,000 at June 30, 1997. The Company's business does
not require material ongoing capital expenditures. The Company's management
believes that it has adequate resources for the next twelve months of
operations.
