ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of operations
Introduction
A few relatively large contracts in any one business segment in any
fiscal year can make any segment generate relatively large revenues in that
year. Because disproportionate generation of income has occurred
periodically throughout the existence of ETSI, the Company's strategy has
been to offer a variety of services and maintain a flexible staff capable of
executing different tasks. Services are tied to different markets, such as
new pollution control equipment expenditures by industry, government funding
or legislative enforcement. In addition, ETSI continually markets its
services through brochures, seminars and attendance at trade shows and
conferences and by telemarketing. ETSI attempts to increase its business in
the aggregate. As the United States experiences economic and legislative
cycles, the demand for each of the Company's services fluctuates accordingly.
On June 1, 1994, ETSI merged with three related Richmond, Virginia
firms, Stamie E. Lyttle Company, Inc., Lyttle Utilities, Inc. and LPS
Corporation, and consolidated them into its wholly owned subsidiary, ETS
Water and Waste Management, Inc. (ETSW). The combination was effected
through the issuance of 2,730,000 shares of ETSI common stock and has been
accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. On January 19, 1995, ETSI merged a
Richmond, Virginia firm, Environmental Laboratories, Inc., with its
subsidiary, ETSAS, which increases ETSAS size by about 50% and makes ETSAS
the largest environmental contract laboratory in the state of Virginia. This
combination was effected through the issuance of 183,600 shares of ETSI
common stock and is also accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. On
April 3, 1995, ETSI purchased, with the issuance of 113,000 shares of ETSI
common stock, the assets of Air Compliance, Inc., a Pennsylvania Corporation,
and incorporated these assets into the business of ETS. On February 5, 1996,
ETSI acquired the assets of Olympic Industries, Inc. in exchange for 539,130
shares of ETSI's common stock and incorporated these assets into a new wholly
owned subsidiary of ETSW, ETS Liner, Inc. On April 18, 1996, ETSI acquired
certain assets of Dewberry and Davis, Inc. in exchange of 65,617 shares of
ETSI's common stock and incorporated these assets into ETSAS. These
transactions are discussed further in Note 2 to the audited consolidated
financial statements for the year ended May 31, 1996 ("fiscal 1996"). The
transactions are anticipated to broaden the revenues and asset base of ETSI
in coming years. The results of the operations for the fiscal years
presented include the pooling-of-interests transactions as if they had been
consummated at the beginning of the period presented while purchase
transactions are reflected since the date of acquisition.
ETSI has divided its revenues into four meaningful categories;
(a) services - encompassing field and analytical testing, regulatory
assistance and monitoring; (b) consulting/engineering - encompassing
consulting and engineering services and educational areas; (c) products; and
(d) construction.

Second Quarter Fiscal 1997 Compared to Second quarter Fiscal 1996
Revenues for the second quarter of 1997 were $5,769,266 compared to
$5,976,107 for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 for a 3% decrease. Revenues
for the six month period ended November 30, 1996 were $12,009,254 compared to
$11,013,799 for the same six months period for fiscal 1996 for a 9% increase
in revenues.
Total testing service revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 1997
were $1,261,116 compared to $1,653,492 for the second quarter of fiscal 1996
for a 24% decrease. Field testing revenues were $493,525 for the current
quarter compared to $740,635 for the preceding first quarter. The level of
activity for ETS was down in comparison to the same period for the prior year
due to market dynamics. Major customers include two municipal waste
incinerator plants, a particle board manufacturer, a medical waste
incinerator plant and a cement plant for 40% of the field testing revenues.
Revenues for the analytical laboratory for the second quarter of fiscal
1997 were $713,797 compared to $684,941 for the same quarter of fiscal 1996
for a 4% increase. Most of this increase was attributable to increased
government contract activity which was $258,260 compared to $102,518 for the
same period in fiscal 1996. Commercial laboratory sales remained sluggish
for the current quarter due to further price erosion in the market and
continued delay in final approval for site remediation projects. It is
anticipated this will turn around in the latter part of the third quarter and
the first part of the fourth quarter.
Regulatory assistance revenue were down to $33,994 from $170,287
revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 1996. For the second quarter
revenues were again down due to decrease in customers and a significant
market down-turn. Major customers which accounted for 44% of the revenues
were a medical waste incinerator plant, a railroad company, a steel
manufacturer and a lime producer. Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal
1997 for monitoring were $19,800 compare to $57,629 for the second quarter of
fiscal 1996 with its only customer being a chemical plant.
Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 1997 for
consulting/engineering and seminar services were $183,068 compared to $28,816
for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 for 535% increase. Consulting and
engineering service revenues were $159,484 compared to revenues of $12,016
for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 with an iron foundry being the major
customer with 96% of the revenues. While the consultant services were down,
the engineering services were significantly up due to more emphasis placed in
building this area. Seminar revenues for the quarter were $18,582 compared
to $16,800 for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 and revenues for sale of
books were $5,002 for the current quarter.
Product revenues for the second quarter were $52,347 compared to $1,250
for the second quarter of fiscal 1996. The current quarter revenues included
$12,347 for sale of Baghouse Performance Monitoring (BPM) hardware and
software and $40,000 received from a LEC licensing agreement with a
engineering firm in Taiwan. Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 1996
of $1,250 was for sale of BPM hardware.
<PAGE>
Total construction service revenues which includes ETS Liner, Inc., a
subsidiary of ETS Water & Waste Management, Inc.,for the second quarter of
fiscal 1997 were $4,272,735 compared to $4,292,549 for the second quarter of
fiscal 1996. An increase in commercial and private construction and
infrastructure activities was experienced and the bidding activity increased.
A contract of great significance to the future growth and profitability in
the ETSI infrastructure arena was received to install Ultraliner PVC Alloy
Pipeliner TM in a Virginia county. This is the Company's first commercial
trenchless rehabilitation of sanitary sewer lines in Virginia.
Cost of goods and services for the second quarter were $4,744,316
representing 82% of the revenues compared to $5,106,026 or 85% of revenues
for the second quarter of fiscal 1996. Gross profit for the second quarter
of fiscal 1997 was $1,024,950 for 19% of the revenues compared to $870,0813
or 15% of revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 1996. This improvement
in costs and profit is the result of an effort to improve the efficiency and
profitability of the operating companies. Selling, general and
administrative expenses were $782,443 for the current quarter compared to
$746,025 for the second quarter of fiscal 1996.
Miscellaneous income for the second quarter of fiscal 1997 was $6,985
compared to $12,951 for the second quarter of fiscal 1996. Miscellaneous
income for the quarter included earned interest from savings on deposit and
sale of miscellaneous equipment and scrap. Interest expense for the quarter
was $80,034 compared to $106,452 for the second quarter of fiscal 1996.
Interest expense represents interest incurred for utilization of the credit
line and interest paid in financing of capital equipment.
The second quarter of fiscal 1997 produced a net income of $169,458 for
a six month total of $270,579 compared to net income for the second quarter
of fiscal 1996 of $30,555 and six month loss of $172,691.
Liquidity And Capital Resources As Of The End Of The Second Quarter of Fiscal
Year 1997
ETSI achieved record revenues and improved earnings in the first half
of fiscal 1997. In an effort to make each of the operating companies more
efficient and improve profitability, management remains committed to
increasing productivity while controlling cost.
Working capital for ETSI include a credit line servicing ETS, ETSAS-
Roanoke office and ETSW in Richmond, VA for an aggregate amount of $1,400,000
of which $1,256,722 was being utilized at November 30, 1996. On November 27,
1996 the Company sold shares of its common stock, no par value, to Thomas W.
Marmon, a member of the Company's Board of Directors, in connection with the
conversion by Mr. Marmon of $500,000 of ETS debt securities. The sale was
made pursuant to a private placement under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act
of 1933, and the shares acquired are deemed "restricted securities" subject
to the holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities
Act.
<PAGE>
At November 30, 1996, net cash provided by operating activities of
$229,804 of which the major component of activities included the net income
of $270,579, depreciation of $420,237 and increase in accounts payable of
$271,940 which was offset by amortization of deferred gain on sale/leaseback
of $152,154, increase in accounts receivable of $345,256 and increase in
inventory purchases of $155,353. The purchase of property, plant and
equipment in the amount of $353,397 and incurred patent cost of $11,990
resulted in net cash used in investing activity of $365,387. Major
components of net cash of $178,017 provided by financing activities include
proceeds from credit line of $185,295, proceeds from long term debt of
$53,000 and increase in notes payable to affiliates of $76,365 which was
offset by payments on long term debt of $140,002. The net cash and cash
equivalents at the end of the six month period which ended November 30, 1996
was $164,237 compared to $139,180 the same period at November 30, 1995.
New orders received for the three months ending November 30, 1996 were
$8,039,212 compared to the new orders received of $6,487,761 for the same
three month period a year ago. The construction firm received a contract of
great significance to the future growth and profitability of ETSI
infrastructure arena from Henrico County to install Ultaliner PVC Alloy
Pipeliner TM which is the first commercial trenchless rehabilitation of
sanitary sewer lines in Virginia. Management continues to believe that this
proprietary technique is the wave of future rehabilitation of storm and sewer
lines. The domestic infrastructure market continues to improve; thus,
management continues to seek to grow this part of the Company domestically
both internally and via acquisitions. The domestic environmental markets
continue to be flat; however, the Asian environmental markets are healthy;
thus, our focus for environmental growth is overseas. We were especially
pleased with the signing of E&C Engineering as our latest Taiwan Licensee of
the LEC and are looking forward to an increase in licensing activity both in
Taiwan and Korea.
Backlog at November 30, 1996 was $7,685,243 compared to $5,528,661 at
November 30, 1995 for a 39% increase. ETSI held open task orders from
various clients, principally government agencies. If all the work under
these open orders is authorized, the Company estimates that its backlog would
increase by $1,192,371 to a total of $8,766,614 compared to $7,487,670 for
the same period a year ago.
Most of ETSI's contracts are of short-term duration and are completed
within a few months of the order or award. Certain contracts such as those
from utilities are annual and are completed in stages against task orders.
Government agencies often issue open orders for which subsequent task orders
are issued. There are no conditions precedent to the issuance of task orders
and they are issued pursuant to the specific orders of the client for the
service. Experience shows that substantially all open orders ultimately
result in task orders and at times have exceeded the amount of the open
order. There can be no assurance that existing contracts or future orders
containing open orders will result in task orders covering the entire
contractual amounts. ETSI is not aware of any significant unrecognized cost
to complete any open contract.
