ANDEAN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
1,000,000 Shares of Common Stock and
1,000,000 Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrants
--------------------
All of the shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the
"Common Stock") and Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the "Warrants")
offered hereby are being offered by Andean Development Corporation (the
"Company" or "ADC"). Prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for
the Common Stock or the Warrants. It is anticipated that the initial public
offering price of the Common Stock will be $5.25 to $6.00 per share and the
initial public offering price of the Warrants will be $.25 per Warrant. For
information regarding the factors considered in determining the initial public
offering price of the Common Stock and the Warrants, see "Underwriting."
The Common Stock and the Warrants are being offered separately and not
in units and will be separately transferrable. Each Warrant entitles the holder
to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $_____ (120% of the public
offering price per share of the Common Stock offered hereby) at any time until
the fifth anniversary of the effective date of this Prospectus.
Warrant holders do not have any voting or any other rights as
shareholders of the Company. The Company has the right at any time beginning six
months after the effective date of this Prospectus to redeem all, but not less
than all, the Warrants then outstanding, at a redemption price of $.05 per
Warrant (the "Redemption Price"), by written notice to the registered holders of
the Warrants then outstanding, mailed not less than thirty (30) nor more than
sixty days prior to the date fixed for redemption (the "Redemption Date"), if
the closing bid price for the Common Stock for twenty-one (21) trading days
during any thirty (30) consecutive trading day period ending not more than
fifteen (15) days prior to the date that the notice of redemption is mailed,
equals or exceeds $_____ (150% of the exercise price per Warrant), subject to
adjustment under certain circumstances. If the Company exercises its right to
call the Warrants then outstanding for redemption, then such Warrants may still
be exercised until the close of business on the day immediately preceding the
Redemption Date. Any Warrant called for redemption that is not exercised by such
time will cease to be exercisable, and the holder thereof will be entitled only
to the Redemption Price. For more information regarding the Warrants and the
Company's right to redeem the Warrants then outstanding under certain
circumstances, see "Description of Securities - The Warrants").
The Company has applied for quotation of the Common Stock and the
Warrants on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation
System ("Nasdaq") National Market System under the symbols "ADCC" and "ADCCW,"
respectively. No assurances can be given that trading for any of these
securities will develop, of if developed, that it can or will be maintained for
any of these securities.

BOTH CORPORATIONS DOMICILED IN SANTIAGO, CHILE WILL BECOME SUBSIDIARIES OF THE
COMPANY EFFECTIVE UPON CLOSING OF THIS OFFERING AND WHEREBY THE SHAREHOLDERS OF
THESE AFFILIATED COMPANIES WILL EXCHANGE THEIR SHARES FOR SHARES IN THE COMPANY.
THE COMPANY
Andean Development Corporation was organized in 1994 as a holding
company to acquire Errazuriz y Asociados Ingenieros S.A. ("E&A") and Igenor
Andina S.A. ("INA"), both corporations domiciled in Santiago, Chile. Andean
Export Corporation, ("ADX"), domiciled in Boca Raton, Florida, U.S.A., is a
subsidiary of Andean Development Corporation. Andean Development Corporation,
E&A, INA, and ADX are collectively referred to as the "Company" or "ADC".
E&A, organized in February 1991, specializes, as an agent, in the sale
of major electrical and mechanical equipment and the representation of foreign
manufacturers of electrical and mechanical equipment in Chile. E&A also offers
technical assistance to, and prepares tender (bid) documents on behalf of its
customers in connection with turnkey and non-turnkey public works and
development projects to be constructed in Chile. Since 1991, E&A has facilitated
the sale of more than $415 million of equipment including generators, turbines
and conveyors (see "Business - Major Projects"), which has generated more than
$5 million of commissions for the Company. See "Business-Core Business."
INA, organized in 1986, provides engineering, consulting and project
management services for electric generating facilities and civil construction
projects including hydroelectric and other electric power plans, tunneling
projects and water treatment facilities located principally in Chile. Since
1986, INA alone and in conjunction with Norconsult International, A.S. of Norway
("Norconsult"), an international engineering company, has provided engineering,
consulting and project management services relating to engineering projects
valued at $19 million which services generated approximately $8.6 million in
revenues for the Company. See "Business - Core Business."
In addition, E&A and INA, acting together, have provided consulting and
other services to foreign corporations seeking to do business in Chile as
principals or as investors. In this context, the Company, based on its knowledge
of Chile and its economy, the Company evaluates Chilean business opportunities
on behalf of these corporations. Services and analysis provided by the Company
include, but are not limited to: (i) identifying opportunities in Chile
consistent with the interests of the customer, (ii) evaluating alternative
opportunities, (iii) preparing business plans and strategies, (iv) acting as
liaison between local suppliers and the customer, (v) providing assistance in
arranging financing and providing engineering services, (vi) submitting bids and
assistance in contract negotiation, and (vii) project management. The Company
has provided these services to large international entities with well
established offices in Chile,^ such as Westinghouse Electric Corporation,
Seimens, A.G., Mitsubishi Corporation and Marubeni Corporation, as well as other
small foreign or local companies seeking to create and develop business
opportunities in Chile.
4
<PAGE>
The Company's strategy is two-fold. First, the Company intends to
continue to grow and expand its core business presently being conducted through
E&A and INA. To facilitate this growth the Company will immediately establish a
sales and marketing office in the United States and in the latter part of 1996
will establish a second sales and marketing office in Spain which may also be
used for sales and marketing throughout Europe. The Company believes that its
future growth will be a natural consequence of the Company's historical
participation in the electric utility sector, ecology-oriented projects and the
potable and waste water treatment fields. The Company intends to expand its
marketing focus to include medium sized utilities, private mining companies and
large industrial companies. The Company believes that these businesses will
require the services of the Company, either to acquire new equipment, to
optimize and/or upgrade their existing installations or to comply with the
increasing ecological regulations of the government.
The Company believes that creating a U.S. holding company and
establishing a U.S. sales and marketing office will enhance its ability to do
business with U.S. companies and other North American companies. As part of this
strategy, the Company will seek to take advantage of the relative stability of
the Chilean peso to the U.S. dollar. The Company believes that, as a result of
this relative stability, certain U.S., as well as Canadian and Mexican,
manufactured equipment and products may now be marketed to customers in Chile at
prices competitive with other foreign manufacturers(See "Exchange Rates"). The
Company also believes that many U.S. manufacturers may be unfamiliar with the
conditions and the qualifications required to bid on projects in Chile. By
establishing a U.S. office, the Company believes that it will be able to act as
a representative (both on an exclusive and non-exclusive basis) of U.S.
manufacturers both in the U.S. and Chile for projects located in Chile by
providing local expertise and understanding of the Chilean business environment.
The Company currently intends to employ one engineer and one marketing person on
a full-time basis in Boca Raton, Florida.
Second, the Company intends to capitalize on opportunities in the
current Chilean economy by acquiring equity interests in certain
ecology-oriented and electrical utility-related projects in Chile as well as by
providing management and other services to these projects. The Company also
intends to take advantage of the continuing privatization of businesses in
Chile, which has increased investment in Chile and increased Chilean industrial
and agricultural output. As an example of this strategy, the Company, through an
affiliate, has entered into an agreement with Empresa de Servicios de
Antofagasta, S.A. ("ESSAN"), a Chilean government-owned corporation that
provides water utility services to the municipality of Antofagasta, Chile, (See
"Business - Bayesa Project") to invest in a waste water treatment facility
located in Antofagasta, Chile (the "Bayesa Project"). In addition, the Company
is exploring potential equity participation in other ecology-oriented and
electric utility-related projects such as small to medium-sized hydroelectric
generating plants, electrical utilities, waste water treatment facilities and
other water-related projects. See "Business - Strategy for Equity
Participation." As of the date of this Prospectus, however, the Company has not
entered into any agreements with respect to acquiring equity interests in any
projects other than the Bayesa Project.
The Company was incorporated on October 19, 1994, under the laws of the
State of Florida. The Company's offices are currently located at 835 Lakeside
Drive, Boca Raton, Florida, U.S.A. and its telephone number is (407) 482-6336.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The discussion in this Prospectus contains forward-looking statements
that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ
significantly from those discussed herein. Factors that could cause or
contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed
in "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations" and "Business," as well as those discussed elsewhere
in this Prospectus. Statements contained in this Prospectus that are not
historical facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to the safe
harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. A number
of important factors could cause the Company's actual results for 1996 and
beyond to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking
statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. These factors include, without
limitation, those listed below in "Risk Factors."
RISK FACTORS
AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMMON STOCK AND THE WARRANTS OFFERED HEREBY
INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS, PRIOR TO MAKING AN
INVESTMENT DECISION, SHOULD CONSIDER CAREFULLY, IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER
INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS (INCLUDING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND
NOTES THERETO), THE FOLLOWING FACTORS:
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY AND RISK OF INVESTMENT.
ADC was recently organized as a holding company to acquire E&A and INA,
both corporations domiciled in Chile. All the revenues shown in the financial
statements are attributable to operations of E&A and INA during the relevant
periods. By itself, the Company has only begun limited operations since its
inception on October 19, 1994, and has no revenue through the date hereof
although its operating companies, E&A and INA, have been in business for five
years and ten years, respectively. The Company anticipates that it will have
increased operating overhead as a result of its expanded operations resulting
from the implementation of its planned business strategy, strategic plan to
develop a stronger asset base, including acquisition of equity interests in the
Bayesa Project and other projects, which may adversely impact the Company's
profitability. Additionally, certain of the Company's proposed operations are
subject to all risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise
in Chile. See "Business - Core Business and Strategy for Equity Participation."
RISK OF NEW PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT
Historically, the Company's operations and revenues have been based
primarily on services provided in connection with the sale of major electrical
equipment and engineering and other consulting services. While the Company has
been profitable during the fiscal years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995 and the
first quarter of the 1996 fiscal year, based upon its service-oriented business,
the Company is dependent on the proceeds of this Offering to expand its
operations in order to implement its strategic plan to develop a stronger asset
base and establish its presence in the U.S. and expand its presence in Europe.
"See Business - Major Projects."
Results of operations in the future will be influenced by numerous
factors, including market acceptance of the Company's future projects and
investments in Chile, the Company's capacity to develop and manage the projects
and businesses within which it invests, competition, and the ability of the
Company to control costs. There can be no assurance that revenue growth will be
sustained or that these projects or businesses will be profitable. Additionally,
the Company will be subject to all the risks incidental to a business entering
new markets in which such business has limited history or experience.
Accordingly, there can be no
8
<PAGE>
assurances that the Company will be able to implement its business plan, expand
its operations, or develop and sustain profitable operations following the
completion of this Offering. See "Business."
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING
Based on the Company's internal projections and budgets, as well as its
results for 1994, 1995, and the first quarter of 1996 the Company believes that
the net proceeds of this Offering, in addition to funds generated from (i)
anticipated cash flow from operations, (ii) additional equity participation by
third parties in certain of the Company's projects, and (iii) project debt
financing for certain of current projects, will enable the Company to satisfy
all of its anticipated financing needs for at least 12 months following the
closing of this Offering. See "Use of Proceeds" and "Business - Strategy for
Equity Participation."
The Company currently owns 4.5% of Bayesa S.A ("Bayesa"), the owner of
the Bayesa Project, through its 45% equity interest in Aguas y Ecologia S.A.
("A&E"). A&E currently owns 10% of the equity in Bayesa. The Company will
acquire an additional 2.25% interest in Bayesa by purchasing an additional 22.5%
interest in A&E pursuant to an agreement to purchase A&E shares from Inversiones
y Desarrollo Demco, S.A. ("Invdemco"), for $141,750, using a portion of the net
proceeds from this Offering (See "Use of Proceeds"). The Company may also
purchase additional equity in Bayesa from Biwater International Ltd. ("Biwater")
depending on the cost of the shares compared to other potential projects.
Biwater is a major international corporation domiciled in the U.K. and is
engaged in, among other businesses, the construction and operation of waste
water treatment facilities and currently owns 90% of the equity in Bayesa. It is
estimated that the cost to complete the Bayesa Project is $8 million and that
the Bayesa Project will be completed in approximately 14-16 months after the
effective date of this Prospectus. Of the $8 million needed to complete the
Bayesa Project, Bayesa has entered into a credit line agreement with Banco
Security to finance $4 million. In addition, Empresa de Servicios Sanitarios de
Antofagasta, S.A. ("ESSAN"), a governmentowned entity in charge of the water
system for the Province of Antofagasta, Chile, will fund approximately $2
million through the payment of construction and management fees pursuant to the
terms of the contract between ESSAN and Bayesa to construct and operate the
Bayesa Project. Banco Security has been granted a lien on the flow of payments
from ESSAN as well as the equipment and machinery contained in the Bayesa
Project. During the term of its contract with ESSAN, Bayesa will receive a total
of approximately $19 million plus an inflation factor from ESSAN over 150
months. The balance of approximately $2 million necessary for construction of
the Bayesa Project has been funded by the shareholders of Bayesa, who include
Biwater and A&E, in the form of equity contributions to Bayesa. Biwater has
provided approximately $1,800,000, and A&E has provided $200,000. Following the
purchase of additional shares in A&E from Invdemco using a portion of the
proceeds from this Offering, the Company will be a 67.5% shareholder in A&E.
The Company believes that Bayesa has sufficient commitments from
financial institutions and other sources for both debt and equity financing for
the Bayesa Project. There can be no assurances, however, that financing will be
available for future projects when needed or, if available, that it will be on
terms acceptable to the Company or in the best interests of its shareholders.
See "Use of Proceeds," "Business - Strategy for Equity Participation,"
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" and "Financial Statements."
RELIANCE ON THIRD PARTY MANUFACTURERS MAY DISRUPT OPERATIONS
The Company does not manufacture or sell any equipment. In its core
business, the Company, on a contract basis, relies on third-party manufacturers
for the equipment sold. Reliance on such manufacturers may subject the Company
to various risks associated with scheduling and timely production and delivery
of equipment, availability of completed products, as well as administrative
problems dealing with one or more manufacturers or suppliers. These risks
include, among others, the possibility of a change in the amount of commission
payable and a postponement when a commission owed to the Company may be due.
While the
9
<PAGE>
Company has never been subject to any material disruptions in its operations,
any such disruption could have a material adverse effect on the Company. See
"Business - Core Business."
COMPETITION
In its core business, the Company is engaged in a highly-competitive
segment of an industry which is very active and consistently attracts new
competitors. The Company competes directly or indirectly with a number of
companies, many of which are larger, better capitalized, more established and
have greater access to resources necessary to produce a competitive advantage.
The Company's major competitors may be deemed to be those who represent
well-known manufacturers in Chile and include Gildemeister S.A.C. (Caterpillar),
Sigdo Koppers Comercial S.A.C. (Dresser International, Bridgestone), Pfeninger
and Co. (Sulzer Escher Wyss, Joy Manufacturing) and the local offices of larger
manufacturers or traders such as Marubeni, Babcock Wilcox, Mitsubishi, General
Electric, and GEC Alsthom. The Company believes, however, that the majority of
these competitors do not provide the range of services that the Company provides
to its customers, including arranging financing, local support and procuring
local materials and products, and coordinating suppliers with the customer
engineering departments. See "Business -Major Projects; Selected Representations
- - Non-Exclusive; Competition"
CONTROL BY MANAGEMENT AND PRESENT SHAREHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY
Prior to this Offering, Mr. Pedro P. Errazuriz, the President, Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of ADC, and his immediate family,
directly or indirectly, owned approximately 100% of the Company's issued and
outstanding Common Stock. After this Offering, Mr. Errazuriz and his immediate
family will directly or indirectly own approximately 71% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock. See "Principal Shareholders." Since holders of the
Common Stock do not have any cumulative voting rights and directors are elected
by plurality vote, Mr. Errazuriz is in a position to control the election of
directors as well as the other affairs of the Company. See "Management" and
"Principal Shareholders."
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
The success of the Company is highly dependent upon the continued
services of Mr. Pedro P. Errazuriz, who is the founder, President, CEO and
Chairman of the Board of ADC, and of Mr. Jose Luis Yrarrazaval, Mr. Gonzalo
Cordua, Mr. Juan Phillips and Mr. Juan Andres Errazuriz who are ADC's Treasurer
and Secretary, Operations Vice President, Technical Vice President and General
Manager, respectively. Although the Company currently has employment agreements
with Mr. Pedro P. Errazuriz, Mr. Yrarrazaval, Mr. Phillips, Mr. Cordua and Mr.
Juan Andres Errazuriz, the loss of the services of any of these individuals
could eventually have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company.
The Company intends to obtain a $1,000,000 key man life insurance policy, of
which the Company will be the beneficiary, on the life of Mr. Pedro P.
Errazuriz, effective as of the closing of the Offering. See "Management."
With the implementation of the Company's business strategy, it may
become necessary for the Company to hire additional experienced professional
individuals to meet its expanding needs. The Company intends to use certain of
its existing staff to perform a number of these duties and to participate in the
selection of new personnel, as required. Such individuals may include engineers,
technicians, management, marketing personnel or specialized consultants. While
the Company believes that by offering competitive salaries and benefit packages,
it will be able to solicit and hire qualified individuals, no assurances can be
made that such individuals will accept employment with the Company or will
continue to be employed by the Company, or that qualified individuals will
always be available to the Company when needed.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has entered into transactions and may do so in the future
with officers, directors and shareholders of the Company, as well as their
affiliated companies. The terms of these transactions were no less favorable to
the Company than those available from and to unaffiliated parties. To the extent
that the Company enters into transactions with these affiliated persons and
entities in the future, it will do so only on terms no less favorable to the
Company than those available from and to unaffiliated parties. See "Certain
Transactions."
ASSETS AND USE OF PROCEEDS TO BE HELD OUTSIDE THE U.S.; ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL
LIABILITIES AGAINST FOREIGN PERSONS
While ADC is a U.S. corporation, it is a holding company for E&A and
INA, both domiciled in Chile. For the foreseeable future, substantially all of
the assets of the Company, including approximately 87.5% of the net proceeds
from this Offering, will be held or used outside the United States (primarily in
Chile). See "Use of Proceeds" and "Business - Strategy For Equity
Participation."
Enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under the U.S. Federal
securities laws may adversely be affected by the fact that while ADC is located
in the U.S., two of its principal subsidiaries are located in Chile. The
Company's current officers, directors and management are residents of Chile, and
substantially all of the assets of the Company and of the officers, directors
and management of the Company are located outside the United States.
Additionally, the Company's major shareholders, Errazuriz y Asociados
Arquitectos, Ltda. (which currently owns approximately 40% of the Company before
the Offering) is domiciled in Chile and Igenor, Ingenierie et Gestion, S.A.
(which currently owns approximately 60% of the Company before the Offering) is
domiciled in Switzerland. See "Principal Shareholders."
DISCRETION IN USE OF PROCEEDS
The Company presently intends to use the net proceeds from this
Offering for the purposes set forth in "Use of Proceeds." However, management of
the Company has broad discretion to adjust the application and allocation of the
net proceeds of this Offering in order to address changes in circumstances or
opportunities. Up to approximately 44% of the net proceeds has been allocated to
Bayesa and other projects. In addition, approximately 28% of the net proceeds
are allocated to working capital, including expansion of marketing and sales and
hiring of personnel. As a result of the foregoing, the success of the Company
will be substantially dependent upon the discretion and judgment of the
management of the Company with respect to the application and allocation of the
net proceeds of this Offering. See "Use of Proceeds."
IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION
This Offering involves immediate dilution of approximately $3.92 per
share of Common Stock (or approximately 65% dilution) to new investors, without
giving effect to the exercise or issuance of the Warrants, the Representatives'
Over-Allotment Option, the Representatives' Purchase Warrants, the Bridge
Warrants, or up to 250,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under
the Company's Stock Option Plan and Directors Plan. See "Dilution" and
"Management - Incentive and Non-Qualified Stock Option Plans."
ARBITRARY OFFERING PRICE AND EXERCISE PRICE OF WARRANTS
The public offering price of the Common Stock and the Warrants and the
exercise price of the Warrants, as well as the exercise price of the
Representatives' Purchase Warrants, have been determined solely by negotiations
between the Company and the Representatives. Among the factors considered in
determining these prices were the Company's current financial condition and
prospects, market prices of similar securities of comparable publicly-traded
companies, and the general condition of the securities market. However, the
11
<PAGE>
public offering price of the Common Stock and the Warrants, and the exercise
price of the Warrants and the Representatives' Purchase Warrants do not
necessarily bear any relationship to the Company's assets, book value, earnings
or any other established criterion of value. See "Underwriting."
NECESSITY TO MAINTAIN CURRENT PROSPECTUS
The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants
(except the Warrants issuable upon exercise of the Representatives' Purchase
Warrants) have been registered with the Commission. The Company will be
required, from time to time, to file post-effective amendments to its
registration statement in order to maintain a current prospectus covering the
issuance of such shares upon exercise of the Warrants. The Company has
undertaken to make such filings and to use its best efforts to cause such
post-effective amendments to become effective. If for any reason a required
post-effective amendment is not filed or does not become effective or is not
maintained, the holders of the Warrants may be prevented from exercising their
Warrants. See "Description of Securities - Warrants."
STATE BLUE SKY REGISTRATION REQUIRED TO EXERCISE WARRANTS
Holders of the Warrants have the right to exercise the Warrants only if
the underlying shares of Common Stock are qualified, registered or exempt from
registration under applicable securities laws of the states in which the various
holders of the Warrants reside. The Company cannot issue shares of Common Stock
to holders of the Warrants in states where such shares are not qualified,
registered or exempt. The Company has undertaken, however, to qualify on NASDAQ
National Markets which provides for blue sky registration in substantially all
states. See "Description of Securities - Warrants."
CALLABLE WARRANTS AND IMPACT ON INVESTORS
The Warrants are subject to redemption by the Company in certain
circumstances. The Company's exercise of this right would force a holder of the
Warrants to exercise the Warrants and pay the exercise price at a time when it
may be disadvantageous for the holder to do so, to sell the Warrants at the then
current market price when the holder might otherwise wish to hold the Warrants
for possible additional appreciation, or to accept the redemption price, which
is likely to be substantially less than the market value of the Warrants in the
event of a call for redemption. Holders who do not exercise their Warrants prior
to redemption by the Company will forfeit their right to purchase the shares of
Common Stock underlying the Warrants. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Company
may not call the Warrants at any time that a current registration statement
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is not then in effect. See
"Description of Securities - Warrants."
LACK OF EXPERIENCE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Neither First London Securities Corporation ("First London") nor La
Jolla Securities Corporation ("La Jolla") has extensive experience as an
underwriter of public offerings of securities. First London has acted as a
co-managing underwriter in one firmly underwritten public offering. La Jolla has
acted as a co-managing underwriter in three firmly underwritten public
offerings. In addition, First London and La Jolla are relatively small firms
and, although the Representatives have advised the Company that they intend to
make a market in the Common Stock and the Warrants, they will have no legal
obligation to do so, and, no assurance can be given that the Representatives
will be able to participate as market makers in the Common Stock or the
Warrants, and no assurance can be given that any broker-dealer will make a
market in the Common Stock or the Warrants. See "Underwriting."
12
<PAGE>
REPRESENTATIVES' POTENTIAL INFLUENCE ON THE MARKET
It is anticipated that a significant amount of the Common Stock and the
Warrants will be sold to customers of the Representatives. Although the
Representatives have advised the Company that they intend to make a market in
the Common Stock and the Warrants, they will have no legal obligation to do so.
The prices and the liquidity of the Common Stock and the Warrants may be
significantly affected by the degree, if any, of the Representatives'
participation in the market. No assurance can be given that any market making
activities of the Representatives, if commenced, will be continued. See
"Underwriting."
REPRESENTATIVES' POTENTIAL INFLUENCE ON THE COMPANY
The Company has agreed that for 24 months after the effective date of
the Prospectus, if requested, it will use its best efforts to cause one
individual designated by the Representatives to be elected to the Company's
Board of Directors, which individual may be a director, officer, employee or
affiliate of the Representatives. The Representatives may designate a person to
attend meetings of the Board of Directors for 24 months after the closing of
this Offering. To the extent that the Representatives cause one individual to be
elected to the Company's Board of Directors, the Board member may influence
other members of the Board to implement policies that are contrary to the
policies of the Company's current Board of Directors. See "Underwriting."
POSSIBLE APPLICABILITY OF RULES RELATING TO LOW-PRICED STOCKS; POSSIBLE FAILURE
TO QUALIFY FOR NASDAQ SMALLCAP MARKET LISTING
The Commission has adopted regulations which generally define a "penny
stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less
than $5 per share, subject to certain exceptions. While the price at which the
shares of Common Stock offered to the public pursuant to this Offering will be
in excess of $5.00, the Warrants offered hereby will initially be deemed to be
"penny stocks" and thus will become subject to rules that impose additional
sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell such securities to
persons other than established customers and accredited investors, unless the
Common Stock and the Warrants are listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market or the
Nasdaq National Market. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to satisfy the listing criteria of the Nasdaq SmallCap Market or the Nasdaq
National Market System or that the Common Stock or the Warrants will trade for
$5 or more per security after the offering. Consequently, the "penny stock"
rules may restrict the ability of broker/dealers to sell the Company's
securities and may affect the ability of purchasers in this Offering to sell the
Company's securities in a secondary market.
Although the Company has applied for listing of the Common Stock and
the Warrants on the Nasdaq National Market, there can be no assurance that such
application will be approved or that a trading market for the Common Stock and
the Warrants will develop or, if developed, will be sustained. Furthermore,
there can be no assurance that the securities purchased by the public hereunder
may be resold at their original offering price or at any other price. If the
Common Stock and the Warrants are not approved for listing on the Nasdaq
National Market, the Company intends to apply for listing of the Common Stock
and the Warrants on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, however, there can be no
assurance that such application would be accepted.
In order to qualify for initial listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market,
a company must, among other things, have at least $4,000,000 in total assets, $2
million net worth, $1 million "public float," and a minimum bid price for its
securities of $3 per share. For continued listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market,
a company must maintain $2 million in total assets, a $200,000 market value of
the public float and $1 million in total capital and surplus. In addition,
continued inclusion requires two market-makers and a minimum bid of $1 per
share; provided, however, that if a company falls below such minimum bid price,
it will remain eligible for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market if
the market value of the public float is at least $1 million and the Company has
$2 million in capital and surplus. The failure to meet these maintenance
criteria
13
<PAGE>
in the future may result in the discontinuance of the inclusion of the Common
Stock and Warrants on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.
If the Company is or becomes unable to meet the listing criteria
(either initially or on a continued basis) of the Nasdaq SmallCap Market and is
never traded or becomes delisted therefrom, trading, if any, in the Common Stock
and the Warrants would thereafter be conducted in the over-the-counter market in
the so-called "pink sheets" or, if then available, "Electronic Bulletin Board"
administered by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the
"NASD"). In such an event, the market price of the Common Stock and the Warrants
may be adversely impacted. As a result, an investor may find it difficult to
dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of the
Common Stock and the Warrants.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
The sale of a substantial number of shares of Common Stock of the
Company, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect
prevailing market prices for the Common Stock. Upon completion of this Offering,
the Company will have a total of 3,500,100 shares of Common Stock outstanding
(without giving effect to the exercise of the Warrants, the Representatives'
Over-Allotment Option, the Representatives' Purchase Warrants, the Bridge
Warrants, or up to 250,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under
the Company's Stock Option Plan and Directors Plans), of which 2,500,100
represent shares of Common Stock which will be "restricted" securities within
the meaning of Rule 144 under the Act and, generally, may be sold only in
compliance with Rule 144 under the Act. Under Rule 144 a person who has held
restricted securities for a period of two years may sell a limited number of
such securities into the public market without registration of such securities
under the Act. Rule 144 also permits, under certain circumstances, persons who
are not affiliates of the Company to sell their restricted securities without
quantity limitations once they have satisfied the Rule's three year holding
period. See "Risk Factors - Shares Eligible for Future Sale." Sales made
pursuant to Rule 144 by the Company's existing shareholders may have a
depressive effect on the price of the shares of Common Stock in the public
market, should a public market for the shares of Common Stock develop. Such
sales could also adversely affect the Company's ability to raise capital at that
time through the sale of its equity securities. No prediction can be made as to
the effect, if any, that future sales of Common Stock, or the availability of
Common Stock for future sales, will have on the market price of the Common Stock
from time to time or the Company's ability to raise capital through an offering
of its equity securities in the future. The holders of the Company's outstanding
shares of Common Stock have agreed, however, not to sell or otherwise dispose of
for a 24-month period from the date hereof any of the Common Stock without the
prior consent of the Company and the Representatives. The Representatives have
no agreements or understandings with respect to granting such consent and, in
general, determine whether to grant such consent based on the facts and
circumstances of a specific request.
ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS
Certain provisions of the Company's Articles of Incorporation and
Bylaws may be deemed to have anti-takeover effects and may delay, defer or
prevent a takeover attempt of the Company, which include when and by whom
special meetings of the Company may be called. In addition, certain provisions
of the Florida Business Corporation Act also may be deemed to have certain
anti-takeover effects which include that control of shares acquired in excess of
certain specified thresholds will not possess any voting rights unless these
voting rights are approved by a majority of a corporation's disinterested
shareholders.
Additionally, the Company's Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and
Florida law authorize the Company to indemnify its directors, officers,
employees and agents and limit the personal liability of corporate directors for
monetary damages, except in certain instances. See "Description of Securities -
Certain Florida Legislation; Anti-takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of the
Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws."

<PAGE>
EXERCISE OF REPRESENTATIVES' PURCHASE WARRANTS
In connection with this Offering, the Company will sell to the
Representatives, for nominal consideration, warrants to purchase 100,000 shares
of Common Stock and 100,000 Warrants from the Company. The Representatives'
Purchase Warrants will be exercisable commencing twelve months after the date of
this Prospectus and will continue until four years thereafter at an exercise
price of 120% of the price at which the Common Stock and Warrants are priced to
the public. The Representatives' Purchase Warrants may have certain dilutive
effects because the holders thereof will be given the opportunity to profit from
a rise in the market price of the underlying shares with a resulting dilution in
the interest of the Company's other shareholders. The terms on which the Company
could obtain additional capital during the life of the Representatives' Purchase
Warrants may be adversely affected because the holders of the Representatives'
Purchase Warrants might be expected to exercise them at a time when the Company
would otherwise be able to obtain comparable additional capital in a new
offering of securities at a price per share greater than the exercise price of
the Representatives' Purchase Warrants.
The Company has agreed that, at the request of the holders thereof
under certain circumstances, it will register under federal and state securities
laws the Representatives' Purchase Warrants and/or the securities issuable
thereunder. Exercise of these registration rights could involve substantial
expense to the Company at a time when it could not afford cash expenditures and
may adversely affect the terms upon which the Company may obtain additional
funding and may adversely affect the price of the Common Stock. See
"Underwriting."
NO PRIOR PUBLIC MARKET; POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF SECURITIES PRICES
Prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for the Common
Stock or the Warrants. Although the Company has applied to list the Common Stock
and the Warrants for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market System, there can
be no assurance that a regular trading market will develop (or be sustained, if
developed) for the Common Stock or the Warrants upon completion of this
Offering, or that purchasers will be able to resell their Common Stock or
Warrants or otherwise liquidate their investment without considerable delay, if
at all. Recent history relating to the market prices of newly public companies
indicates that, from time to time, there may be significant volatility in their
market price. There can be no assurance that the market price of the Common
Stock or the Warrants will not be volatile as a result of a number of factors,
including the Company's financial results or various matters affecting the stock
market generally.
CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO CHILE
RISKS INHERENT IN INVESTING IN SOUTH AMERICAN COUNTRIES
In the past, geopolitical frictions have existed between countries
located in the southern area of South America, which includes Argentina, Brazil,
Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay (the "Southern Cone" countries). This
tension has resulted in difficulties in foreign trade, and particularly the
inherent adverse effects that may develop when goods (including equipment sold
through the Company) are delayed by customs. Additionally, there have been
problems with citizens of one Southern Cone country freely traveling to other
Southern Cone countries. Furthermore, countries have been reluctant to hire
nationals of one country for executive positions in other Southern Cone
countries.
While over the past five years, travel and commerce among the Southern
Cone countries have become increasingly easier and the Company has not been
adversely affected by geopolitical, economical, legal or other problems inherent
in doing business with foreign countries, there can be no assurances that such
problems will not occur in the future. However, the Company currently does not
import or export products or equipment from or to foreign countries (including
Southern Cone countries). Nonetheless, to the extent that the Company does
decide to become involved in projects in foreign countries and particularly with
Southern Cone
15
<PAGE>
countries in the foreseeable future, it will do so primarily with Chilean-based
companies that are developing projects outside of Chile, but who make their
bidding decisions and payments in Chile.
INFLATION
A number of reforms have been introduced by the Chilean government over
the past 20 years to achieve macroeconomic stability and to increase economic
growth, while controlling inflation. The average annual inflation rate in Chile,
as of December 1993, December 1994, and December 1995, has been 12.2%, 8.9% and
8.2% (based on information provided by the Banco Security). These economic and
inflationary reforms which have had a direct impact on the country and,
therefore, the Company include (i) implementing a monetary stabilization
program, which decreases the public sector deficit and keeps a tight control on
monetary expansion while maintaining a flexible, but controlled, exchange rate
with foreign currencies; (ii) privatization of public utilities; and (iii)
trade, labor market and social security reforms including the free interchange
of foreign and Chilean capital, elimination of many trade and custom barriers
and modification and privatization of the Chilean social security system. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."
Based on its recent experience, the Company believes, but there can be
no assurances, that moderate inflation in Chile will have no material adverse
effect on the Company's operations because (i) substantially all of the
Company's bids and agreements are made in UF (Unidad de Fomento), an indexing
mechanism used in Chile that ties most of the payments and obligations owed to
the Company to Chile's consumer price index; (ii) a number of agreements are
tied to tariffs regulated by the Chilean government which also contain other
indexing mechanisms intended to neutralize the effects of inflation; and (iii)
other agreements include other inflationary controls in the event of a
devaluation of the Chilean peso against other foreign currencies. See "Use of
Proceeds," "Exchange Rates" and "Business."
While Chilean inflation has not had a material adverse effect on the
operations of the Company over the past three years, there can be no assurance
that changes in the performance of the Chilean economy will not adversely affect
the Company or the securities offered hereby.
CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS
The Chilean government's economic policies and any future changes in
the value of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar could adversely affect the
value of the Common Stock and Warrants. The Chilean peso has been subject to
large devaluations in the past and may be subject to significant fluctuations in
the future. In the period from January 1, 1994 to March 31, 1996, the value of
the peso relative to the U.S. dollar declined approximately 5% (from 397.87 to
411.61 Chilean pesos for one U.S. dollar) in nominal terms, based on the Tipo de
Cambio Observado (Observed Exchange Rate), an exchange rate value supplied daily
by the Central Bank of Chile which corresponds to the medium rate at which the
U.S. dollars were freely sold or bought by the banks to any customer the day
before. See "Exchange Rates."
Currency fluctuations may have an effect on the Company's current
activities by the fact that the Company's operational expenses (costs) are tied
to the UF, while revenues are generally tied to the U.S. dollar or other foreign
currencies (depending from whom equipment is purchased or for whom services are
provided). See "Exchange Rates." A weakening of the U.S. dollar (or other
foreign currencies) against the Chilean peso means that while the Company's
revenues may remain unaffected by the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the
Chilean peso, the Company's costs (which are paid in Chilean pesos) will
increase. Conversely, if the Chilean peso is weak against foreign currencies,
the cost of local goods and services are less expensive. While currency
fluctuations have not had a material effect on the financial condition of the
Company during the past three years (see "Financial Statements") because most of
the Company's contracts and agreements (both with foreign and domestic entities)
either are tied (i) directly to the UF; (ii) to both the UF and U.S. dollar in
parity; or (iii) are regulated by government controlled tariffs with internal
16
<PAGE>
mechanisms to control currency fluctuations, no assurances can be made that any
such currency fluctuation will not adversely affect the Company. See "Exchange
Rates" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operation."
FOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT
Substantially all of the Company's operations are transacted in South
America. To the extent that the Company conducts operations and sells its
products outside the U.S., the Company is subject to the Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act which makes it unlawful for any issuer to corruptly pay or offer
to pay, any money or anything of value to any foreign official, foreign
political party or official thereof or any candidate for foreign political
office ("Foreign Officials") or any person with knowledge that all or a portion
of such money or thing of value will be offered, given, or promised, directly or
indirectly, to any Foreign Official.
While the Company has not made any offers, payments, promises to pay,
or authorization of any money or anything of value to any foreign officials, the
Company has implemented a policy to be followed by the officers, directors,
employees and anyone acting on behalf of the Company, that no such payments can
and will be made.
TAXES ON DIVIDENDS
Upon distribution of a dividend, a foreign or a Chilean shareholder of
a Chilean corporation is subject to a 35% percent withholding tax less a credit
for any corporate taxes paid by the Chilean corporation. However, the payment of
foreign (Chilean) taxes may be credited against U.S. federal income tax. Persons
investing in Chilean corporations have the right to be exempt from any
contribution, tax or other obligation on the net proceeds resulting from the
sale of stock of such Chilean corporation or the sale or liquidation of entities
acquired with proceeds of such investment, up to the amount of capital brought
into Chile through the investment. This is accomplished by entering into a
foreign investment contract with the Chilean government.
In addition, persons investing in Chilean corporations have the right
to opt for a system of tax invariability that fixes the tax laws applicable to
the investment to the laws applicable at the time of the investment (See "Risk
Factors - Restrictions on Repatriation with Respect to Investment in Underlying
Shares").
Through the Reorganization and the use of net proceeds of this Offering
by the Company to conduct operations in Chile, the Company will be making
investments subject to the aforementioned taxes. Potential purchasers of the
Common Stock and the Warrants should consult their own tax advisors regarding
the impact of these taxes.
RESTRICTIONS ON REPATRIATION WITH RESPECT TO INVESTMENTS IN UNDERLYING SHARES
Equity investments in Chile by persons who are not Chilean residents
are legally protected and cannot be generally subject to exchange-control
regulations which restrict the repatriation of the investments, if not expressly
agreed otherwise at the moment of investing in the country. Earnings follow the
same rule, but are subject to profit taxes (See "Risk Factors - Chilean Taxes on
Dividends"). Although there have been no cases of deviations from this rule for
more than 21 years, there is no assurance that such a deviation could not occur
in the future. The Company intends to enter into a foreign investment contract
with the government which stays the laws concerning foreign investments as of
the date of the contract and permits income to flow outside Chile. Through the
Reorganization and the use of net proceeds of this offering to conduct
operations in Chile, the Company will be making investments subject to the
aforementioned restrictions. There can be no assurances that the aforementioned
restrictions will not have a material adverse impact on the Company and its
shareholders. See "Business - Government Regulations."

It is not possible to foresee all risk factors which may affect the
Company. Moreover, there can be no assurance that the Company will successfully
effectuate its business plan. Each prospective investor should carefully analyze
the risks and merits of an investment in the Common Stock and the Warrants and
should take into consideration when making such an analysis, among others, the
risk factors discussed above.

USE OF PROCEEDS
The gross proceeds from the sale of the 1,000,000 shares of Common and
1,000,000 Warrants offered hereby are estimated to be $6,250,000 assuming an
initial public offering price of $6.00 per share of Common Stock and $0.25 per
Warrant. The net proceeds of this Offering are estimated to be $5,437,500 after
deducting from the gross proceeds of this Offering underwriting discounts and
commissions, a non-accountable expense allowance payable to the Representatives
equal to 3% of such gross proceeds. This does not include Offering expenses
payable by the Company estimated to be approximetely $300,000. Approximately
$4,327,079 (83.6%) of the net proceeds will flow to Chile. The Company intends
to use the proceeds of this Offering, during the 12 months following the date of
this Prospectus, approximately as follows:

(1) See notes (2) and (4) herein and "Certain Transactions" for the
proceeds that directly or indirectly will flow to affiliates.
(2) The Bayesa Project includes the design, construction and management of
a waste water treatment facility in Antofagasta, Chile and the right to
sell reclaimed industrial grade water. To facilitate the acquisition of
an additional equity interest in Bayesa, the Company will purchase an
additional 22.5% interest in A&E which translates into a 2.25% equity
interest in Bayesa for $141,750, pursuant to an agreement to purchase
A&E shares from Invdemco consummated in March of 1996 with the
shareholders of Invdemco. Invdemco is owned by Mr. Errazuriz,
President, CEO and Chairman of the Board of ADC, and other members of
his family. During December, 1995, the Company completed a similar
transaction, and purchased 45% of A&E which equals a 4.5% equity
interest in Bayesa for $283,500. The valuation of the shares of A&E
acquired and to be acquired from Invdemco was determined by an
unrelated third party valuation consultant, Ingesis Ltd., and was based
upon the projected revenues for the Bayesa Project. The Company may
consider purchasing additional equity in Bayesa from Biwater depending
on the cost of such equity as compared to other potential projects. The
cost of the Bayesa Project is estimated to be $8 million, of which $6
million or 75% is expected to come from sources other than capital
contributions to Bayesa, including bank financing ($4 million) and from
the payment of construction and management fees ($2 million). The
remaining $2 million for the Bayesa Project has been funded by the
shareholders of Bayesa in the form of capital contributions to Bayesa
($1,800,000 by Biwater and $200,000 by A&E). See "Risk Factors - Need
for Additional Financing."
(3) The Company is presently reviewing various projects for acquisition and
development. However, as of the date of this Prospectus, the Company
has not entered into any agreements with respect to acquiring equity
interests in any projects other than the Bayesa Project.

<PAGE>
(4) Retirement of Debt relates to retirement of the outstanding mortgage on
the Villarrica Property which is being sold to Invdemco for $1,212,063.
See "Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources" and "Certain
Transactions."
(5) A total of $850,000 will be used to establish Company offices in Spain
and the U.S.
(6) The working capital will be used, primarily, in Chile.
The amounts set forth above are estimates developed by management of
the allocations of the net proceeds of this Offering based upon the current
state of the Company's business operations, its plans and current economic and
industry conditions. The proposed application of the net proceeds is subject to
changes in operating circumstances and financial conditions in general not
presently anticipated and not deemed to represent a substantial departure from
the allocations set forth above. There can be no assurance that the Company's
estimates will prove to be accurate or that unforeseen expenses will not occur.
The Company expects that the net proceeds from this Offering, combined with
funds generated from on-going business operations, will be sufficient to enable
the Company to continue to pursue its present and proposed business activities
for a period of at least 12 months from the date of the completion of this
Offering. Any additional proceeds realized from the exercise of the
Representatives' Over-Allotment Option or the Warrants will be used for working
capital in Chile to develop an equity participation by the Company in the
hydroelectric sector in Chile. Pending use of the net proceeds of this Offering,
the Company may make temporary investments in bank certificates of deposit,
interest bearing savings accounts, prime commercial paper, United States
Government obligations and money market funds. Any income derived from these
short term investments will be used for working capital.
DIVIDEND POLICY
ADC has never paid dividends on its common stock since its inception on
October 19, 1994; however, both INA and E&A paid dividends in the aggregate to
their shareholders during 1993, 1994 and 1995, of $835,737, $866,256 and
$300,000, respectively, based on net revenues and net income for those years.
The Company does not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. See
"Principal Shareholders" and "Description of Securities."

DILUTION
The net tangible book value of the common stock at March 31, 1996, was
$2,324,674 or $.93 per share. "Net tangible book value per share" represents the
amount of total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the number of
total shares of Common Stock outstanding. After giving effect to the sale of the
1,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an assumed initial public offering price of
$6.00 per share, with no value being attributable to the Warrant, and the
initial application of the estimated net proceeds therefrom, pro forma as
adjusted net tangible book value of the Company at March 31, 1996, would have
been $7,762,174 or $2.20 per share, representing an immediate increase in net
tangible book value of $1.53 per share to existing shareholders and an immediate
dilution of $3.80 per share (or approximately 65% dilution) to purchasers of
shares of Common Stock in this Offering as illustrated in the following table:

EXCHANGE RATES
Unless otherwise specified, references herein to "U.S. dollars",
"dollars", "$", or "U.S.$" are to United States dollars and references to
"Chilean pesos," "pesos" or "Ch$" are to Chilean pesos, the legal currency of
Chile, and peso-denominated monetary unit. The Unidad de Fomento (UF) rate is
set daily against the Chilean peso in advance based upon the changes in the
previous month's inflation rate. The UF is a monetary unit indexed daily with
the Chile Consumer Price Index (CPI). As of July 11, 1996, the exchange rate was
31.77 U.S. dollars to 1 UF.
For the convenience of the reader, this Prospectus contains
translations of certain peso amounts into U.S. dollars at specified rates.
Unless otherwise indicated, information regarding the U.S. dollar equivalents of
amounts in pesos is based on the Observed Exchange Rate (as defined herein under
"Exchange Rate") reported by the Banco Central de Chile (the "Central Bank of
Chile" or the "Central Bank") for July 11, 1996, which was Ch$411.29 =
U.S.$1.00. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not report a noon buying
rate for pesos. No representation is made that the peso or U.S. dollar amounts
shown in this Prospectus could have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars
or pesos, as the case may be, at such rate or at any other rate.
Chile's Ley Organica Constitucional del Banco Central de Chile No.
18.840 (the "Central Bank Act") enacted in 1989, liberalized the rules that
govern the ability to buy and sell foreign exchange. Prior to 1989, the law
permitted the purchase and sale of foreign exchange only in those cases
explicitly authorized by the Central Bank of Chile (the "Central Bank"). The
Central Bank Act now provides that the Central Bank may determine that certain
purchases and sales of foreign exchange may be exercised by the banks and other
entities so authorized by the Central Bank.
For the purposes of certain operations at the Formal Exchange Market,
the Central Bank sets a reference exchange rate (dolar acuerdo) (the "Reference
Exchange Rate"). The Reference Exchange Rate is reset monthly by the Central
Bank, taking internal and external inflation into account, and is adjusted daily
to reflect variations in parities between the peso and each of the U.S. dollar,
the Japanese yen and the German mark. In January 1992, the Central Bank revalued
the Reference Exchange Rate by 5%. The Central Bank, in order to keep the
average exchange rate within certain limits, intervenes by buying or selling
foreign exchange on the Formal Exchange Market. The daily observed exchange rate
or spot rate for a given date (the "Observed Exchange Rate") is the average
exchange rate at which commercial banks conduct authorized transactions on such
date as determined by the Central Bank. The Central Bank is authorized to carry
out its transactions at those rates. It generally carries out its transactions
at the Reference Exchange Rate and at the spot market rate. However, when
commercial banks exceed their own regulations and responsibilities and need to
buy U.S. dollars from the Central Bank, or need to sell U.S. dollars to the
Central Bank, such sales are made by the Central Bank not above 10% of the
Reference Exchange Rate and such purchases are made by the Central Bank not
below 10% of the Reference Exchange Rate. Authorized transactions by banks are
generally transacted at the spot market rate which may fluctuate between 10%
over and 10% under the Reference Exchange Rate as a maximum, but has a steady
movement with daily fluctuations which usually do not exceed 0.5% of the
previous day's price.
Purchases and sales of foreign exchange which may be affected outside
the Formal Exchange Market can be carried out in the Mercado Cambiario Informal
(the "Informal Exchange Market"). The Informal Exchange Market and its
predecessor, the "Unofficial Market," reflect the supply and demand for foreign
currency. There are no limits imposed on the extent to which the rate of
exchange in the Informal Exchange Market can fluctuate above or below the
Observed Exchange Rate. The Company estimates that since 1989, the rate of
exchange for pesos into U.S. dollars on such markets has usually fluctuated
between approximately 0.2% below and 1.5% above the Observed Exchange Rate.

The following table sets forth the annual high, low, average and
year-end Observed Exchange Rate for U.S. dollars for each year starting in 1990

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto appearing
elsewhere in this Prospectus.
OVERVIEW
The Company was organized in 1994 to acquire E&A and INA which, since
1991 and 1986, respectively, have been engaged in Chile in the sale, as agent,
of foreign electrical and mechanical equipment, representation of foreign
manufacturers of these types of equipment and products in Chile, and providing
engineering, consulting and project management services in Chile.
Commencing in or about 1991, the Company directly focused its efforts
in the mining and energy sectors believing that representation and services in
such areas would offer greater efficiency and profitability to the Company. To
facilitate this change in focus which required more highly qualified
technological services, the Company changed the composition of its personnel to
include civil and industrial engineers with special expertise in the mining and
energy areas.
While the Company's revenues and earnings have increased from 1992
through March 31, 1996, management believes that in addition to growing its core
business, it can maximize its growth and profitability, as well as increase its
asset base, by establishing equity positions in various projects.
Decisions by management have been made in the context of changes in the
Chilean political and economic environment. Today, Chile is one of the fastest
growing economies in Latin America, with a 6.9% growth rate in 1995 marking its
12th year of growth in a row. The transformation of the Chilean economy, which
started in the mid-1970's following the assumption of power by the military
government and a return to democracy in 1984, has continued over the past twenty
years with reforms being made in various areas. As they relate to the Company,
the more significant areas of reform include:
1. Monetary stabilization program aimed at reducing inflation;
2. Public sector reforms seeking to reach macroeconomic stability
and improving the efficiency of the public sector and economy
as a whole;
3. Privatization programs to remove the government from
activities that the private sector could undertake and to
expand activities where the public sector has a role to play
such as basic health and education services;
4. Trade reforms to provide appropriate incentives to export
oriented and import competing activities and increasing the
integration of Chile with the rest of the world; and
5. Social security reforms.
Coupled with these five areas, the Chilean government has attempted to
grant foreigners greater access to all sectors and markets of the economy. As a
result, the amount of foreign private investment has significantly increased,
particularly during the 1990's.
26
<PAGE>
The Chilean government is also pursuing various trade initiatives which
are as follows:
* EU (European Union) Market: The Chilean government has been
advised by the committee of EU ambassadors that the EU
organization is considering the request of the Chilean
government for Chile to become an associate member of the EU.
However, because the EU is presently focusing on agreements
with eastern European countries, the Chilean government does
not expect any actions to be taken by the EU in the near
future.
* MERCOSUR: The Chilean government has recently been admitted as
a full member of Mercosur, an alliance of Argentina, Brazil,
Paraguay and Uruguay that eliminates tariffs in order to
create free trade among its member nations. However, as a
precondition to its joining Mercosur, the Chilean government
has required that the other member countries comply with the
Chilean system, which is oriented to a market type of economy.
This would mean that the Mercosur countries would diminish
their custom duties to no more than 11% (with certain minor
exceptions) and accept products from Chile consisting of
imported components. The Chilean government has not received
any indication that these conditions will occur within the
foreseeable future.
* NAFTA (the North American Free Trade Agreement): The Chilean
government has anticipated that it will become a signatory to
NAFTA which will bring the country into the
U.S.-Mexican-Canadian free trade zone, once the treaty is
resubmitted to and approved by the U.S. Congress to accept
Chile as a signatory to NAFTA. As a result of the economic
crisis in Mexico, during 1995 the current U.S. administration
temporarily shelved the vote on Chile to become a member
nation of NAFTA, and there are indications that it will be
resubmitted following this year's U.S. elections. There can be
no assurance, however, that such treaty will be approved by
the U.S. Congress or the Chilean government in the foreseeable
future.
Management believes that the reforms and programs that have been
implemented by the Chilean government over the past twenty years have been
positive for the Company. Although increased competition may arise from
companies providing similar services, the Company, for reasons stated herein,
(see "Business Competition") believes that demand will continue for its
services. As an example, the total amount of electrical power on line in Chile
is approximately 5,500 megawatts (MW). It is projected that the need for
electrical power will continue to increase by at least 5% annually, and the
Company, which has historically been involved in the construction of most
electrical generation projects in Chile, will continue to be so involved.
Additionally, and as an adjunct to the growth of electrical generation projects
in Chile, there are plans for two natural gas pipelines: one in the north and
one in the south of Chile, to be used as a source for energy. The Company has
received a written agreement from Westinghouse Electric Corporation, whereby the
Company is to act as special agent on behalf of Westinghouse for the first of a
number of electrical generation projects fueled by natural gas in Chile.
The Company believes that, as a result of currency and other monetary
reforms, the government of Chile has reduced the risk of fluctuations of
currency on its business. Generally the Company's commission revenue is in the
foreign currency of the primary manufacturer of the equipment (generally U.S.
dollars or Swiss francs) although approximately one-third of its income comes
from local sources and is received in foreign contracts denominated in pesos
(typically UF). See "Exchange Rates."
Moreover, should the various trade initiatives result in trade
agreements, the Company believes that it will be well positioned to take
advantage of these agreements, since the Company would have a wider array of
potential manufacturers to represent on specific bids and there may be
additional opportunities to sell products and services in South America.
However, since the current import duty levied on goods and services
27
<PAGE>
in Chile from most foreign manufacturers is 11%, the Company is not dependent on
any of these initiatives resulting in a trade agreement(s).
The Company has represented foreign manufacturers and engineering
companies in the sale of products and services to the majority of the electric
utilities, mining, oil and cellulose companies in Chile, which are both
privately owned and government owned. In selling equipment and services to these
companies, there is normally a pre-qualification process that results in a list
of qualified bidders. Therefore, if the manufacturers and engineers represented
by the Company have the proper qualifying credentials, the Company is assured of
being able to present a bid on behalf of these companies. Additionally, while
the concentration of potential customers is limited by the size of Chile per se,
historically companies requesting bids have multiple bids throughout the course
of the year.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
In addition to the growth of its core business, the Company's plan of
operation for the next 12 months involves the establishment of equity positions
in some projects, as well as participation in the management of these projects.
While requirements and issues of liquidity are described below, the Company does
not expect a significant change in the number of employees after the closing of
this Offering, except for the staffing of the U.S. and European offices and the
Company does not anticipate the purchase or sale of plant and significant
equipment.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In the past, the Company's core operations have been focused on two
areas (i) engineering services and the sale of minor equipment and parts for
projects throughout Chile; (ii) project management and the sale, as agent, of
major equipment for three to five large projects during any given year and (iii)
the preparation of business for third parties. While the period between the
payment by the Company for the goods and services and the receipt of revenues in
connection with the goods and services described in (i) above is typically close
in time, this is not necessarily so with regard to payments and receipts for
those goods and services described in (ii) and (iii) above. Often the interval
between payments by the Company for equipment and services for major projects
and receipt of revenues in connection with the same equipment and services is
spread out over a longer period of time. Thus, the fluctuation in the results of
operations for each quarter may vary greatly, depending on the timing of
payments for major equipment (both by and to the Company).
DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 1994
Gross revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, increased
$674,457 over the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994 from $2,042,884 to
$2,717,341, an increase of approximately 33%. This increase is due primarily to
being awarded certain projects such as the Mitsubishi/Endesa Quillota Combined
Cycle Gas powered electrical generating plant (the "Endesa Quillota Project")
and the Westinghouse Gas Turbine in Peru and the billing for work associated
with the research and design of the Macul Project.
Cost of Operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995,
increased $400,703 from $296,896 to $697,599 for the fiscal year ended December
31, 1994, an increase of 135%. This significant increase in cost of operations
and consequently the decrease in gross margins is attributable to start-up costs
associated with the Macul Project (engineering studies, fencing and signage),
and increased technical consulting services associated with the Endesa Quillota
Project.
Selling and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended December
31, 1995, were $509,563, versus $460,775 for fiscal year ended December 31,
1994, an increase of $48,788. This increase is attributable to the increase in
total revenues which required an additional support staff for various bids and
other core business projects.
28
<PAGE>
Other expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, were
$244,037, versus $223,963 for fiscal year ended December 31, 1994. This increase
is attributable to an increase in interest payments on corporate debt.
Net income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, was $1,174,030,
versus $1,009,470 for fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, an increase of
$164,560 or 16.3%. This increase is due primarily to the efforts of the Company
successfully presenting bids for manufacturers it represented and receiving
commissions and consulting fees for such work.
QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1995
Gross revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, decreased $172,669
from that of the quarterly period ended March 31, 1995, from $900,469 to
$727,800 or 19%. This decrease is attributable to a decrease in the amount of
revenues received by the Company for services it performed on various projects
during this fiscal period. Because of the nature of the Company's business
(timing of recognition of revenues) it is possible that these can be significant
differences from one quarter to the next.
Cost of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996, decreased
$1,197 over the same period ended March 31, 1995, from $167,632 to $166,435.
Because of the relatively fixed nature of the cost of operations overhead
expenses, a decrease in revenues does not necessarily relate to a decrease in
the cost of operations.
Selling and Administrative Expenses for the three months period ended
March 31, 1996 were $133,808, a decrease of $146,754 or 52% over the amount of
$280,562 for same period ended March 31, 1995. This decrease is attributable to
additional staffing required during the period ended March 31, 1995 to develop
and sell the Macul Project, and to a decrease in staffing for the Limache
Combined Cycle Project.
Other expenses for the period ended March 31, 1996 was $46,702 of other
expenses versus $20,862 of other income for period ended March 31, 1995 or an
increase of $67,564 or 324%. This increase is attributable to the fact that
during March 31, 1995 there was other income of $59,267 associated with the
Macul Project. Net income for the period March 31, 1996 was $323,727 versus
$402,166 for March 31, 1995, a decrease of $78,439 or 42%. This decrease is
attributable to an overall decrease in gross revenues based on the number of
projects bid and won and also because of the amount of profits generated by the
Macul Project during the period ended March 31, 1995.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 1996, accounts receivable decreased by $97,335 to
$1,305,746 from $1,403,001 as of year ended December 31, 1995. This decrease is
attributable to certain commissions being paid for specific projects during this
period. The amount of the receivables outstanding and the number of days
outstanding is attributable to the timing of recognition of revenues as compared
to the date of payment. In particular, in the case of equipment sales, the
Company recognizes revenues on the sale of the equipment or on a turnkey
project, where the contract between the purchasing company and the manufacturer
is signed by both parties or an "order to proceed" is issued by the buyer. The
time of payment may be determined by practices of the exporting country involved
in the transaction as well as unanticipated delays caused by obtaining permits
and export licenses and as a result, it is not unusual for a transfer of funds
to take 60-180 days. The Company normally receives its commissions, which are
fully earned at the time the award is made, 30 days after receipt of funds by
the manufacturer it represents and generally payment terms conform to the
payment schedule between the buyer and the seller. Therefore, as in the case of
the Polpaico project, which was awarded to Mitsubishi in December of 1995 and
which is in excess of $1,000,000, payment for this project which accounts for
the majority of the outstanding receivables was delayed because of changes in
the export license. In June of 1996, 50% of this receivable was paid to the
Company.
29
<PAGE>
Accounts payable decreased $71,968 from $384,282 as of fiscal year
ended December 31, 1995 to $302,304 as of March 31, 1996. This decrease is
attributable to receipt of certain outstanding accounts receivable to receipt of
certain outstanding accounts receivables which were utilized to reduce accounts
payable.
Due from related parties remained relatively unchanged from $5,696 at
December 31, 1995 to $5,336 at March 31, 1996.
Current obligations with banks decreased to $355,452 at March 31, 1996
from $367,658 at December 31, 1995, a decrease of $12,206. This decrease is
attributable to management's effort to reduce debt as well as a decrease in
working capital needs.
Current other assets decreased to $106,294 at March 31, 1996 from
$177,489 at December 31, 1995, a decrease of $71,195. This decrease is
attributable to a reduction in deposits to suppliers and other advances to
subcontractors required for various core projects.
Income taxes payable increased to $133,845 at March 31,1996 from
$77,490 at December 31, 1995, an increase of $56,355. This increase is
attributable to a reduction in foreign income and reflects the profit from the
period ended March 31, 1996 being taxed at the maximum Chilean rate of 15%.
The Company's balance sheet reflects undeveloped real estate in the
amount of $481,278. This property, located in Villarrica, Chile, was previously
categorized as "property for sale." The property as of March 31, 1996 has been
taken off the market indefinitely, but may still be utilized for various bank
guarantees. In addition to this undeveloped real estate, the Company owns real
estate which includes a house (the "Villarrica Property") which has a carrying
value of $1,212,063 (reflecting depreciation for the three months ended March
31, 1996). This property was formerly categorized as "under construction" has
now been completed and has been used to secure various loans. Concurrent with
the closing of this Offering, Mr. Errazuriz, the Company's President, Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board will acquire this house and property
from the Company for $1,212,063. The Company intends to pay off all outstanding
mortgages on this property (approximately $700,000) from the proceeds of this
Offering. Therefore, the Company will divest itself of a non-performing asset
and will receive cash and a note which will enhance the Company liquidity.
In December, 1995, the Company purchased a 45% interest in A&E for
$283,500 which translates into a 4.5% equity interest in Bayesa. This investment
is being accounted for on the financial statements of the Company using the
equity method (See Note - to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the
Company).
In addition, during the period ended March 31, 1996, the Company sold
the balance of its ownership in ITL (Macul Project) at its cost of $199,918.
Management does not intend to invest in leisure projects in the future, although
it may develop projects on a fee basis for unrelated third parties.
With the exception of mortgage financing, the Villarrica Property,
which debt will be repaid in conjunction with the sale of the Villarrica
Property as described above, and other limited bank financing, the Company has
financed its operations through internally generated funds. While the Company's
core business can continue without additional financing, the Company has
determined that to facilitate its plan of operations it will use certain of the
proceeds of this Offering together with additional equity and bank financing for
certain projects.
Additionally, the Company's liquidity has been historically affected
because of the distribution to its shareholders of dividends of $835,737,
$866,256 and $300,000 during 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively, as well as the
cost of the non-performing Villarrica Property. Up to the closing of this
Offering, the Company, which
30
<PAGE>
built the Villarrica Property for the personal use of Pedro P. Errazuriz, the
President, CEO and Chairman of the Board of ADC, and his family, also used the
Villarrica Property as a guaranty for the payment of certain lines of credits
and other short term debt financing.
With the change in the Company's strategy to establish equity
positions, together with the management and consulting services, the Company
will be dependent upon the proceeds of this Offering and additional financing as
described herein.
The Company's cost of capital, to the extent determinable, is TAB plus
3% (TAB is the average rates Chilean banks pay on deposits which varies between
6%-8%. While cash flow from the Company's current business may provide a cushion
vis-a-vis the operating expenses to be incurred in connection with its asset
based expansion, management intends to provide separate sources of funding for
the present and proposed projects.
BAYESA PROJECT
The Company participated with Biwater in the design of the Bayesa
Project and the negotiations leading to the award of the Bayesa Project to
Bayesa. The Company currently owns 4.5% of Bayesa, through its ownership of a
45% interest in A&E. To facilitate the acquisition of an additional equity
interest in Bayesa in March 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with
Invdemco to purchase A&E shares that would result in an additional 22.5%
interest in A&E, which translates into an additional 2.25% interest in Bayesa
for $141,750. The Company may also purchase additional equity in Bayesa from
Biwater depending on the cost of such shares as compared to other potential
projects. See "Use of Proceeds."
It is estimated that the cost of completion of the Bayesa Project is $8
million and will be completed in approximately 14-16 months from the date of
this Prospectus. Bayesa has entered into a credit line agreement with Banco
Security to finance $4 million. ESSAN, the governmental entity in charge of the
water system for the municipality of Antofagasta where the Bayesa Project is
located, will fund approximately $2 million through the payment of construction
and management fees pursuant to the terms of Bayesa's contract with ESSAN. The
Banco Security credit line agreement provides in pertinent part for a nine-year
term loan at TAB plus 3%. The bank has required a lien on the flow of payments
from ESSAN, undertakings to specify that the Bayesa Project will be exclusive to
ESSAN and that Bayesa's debt to equity ratio shall not exceed two until 1998 and
shall be reduced thereafter. Additionally, Banco Security has received a
security interest in and to the equipment and machinery owned by Bayesa
Furthermore, the funding by Banco Security is subject to Bayesa receiving $2
million in equity contributions from its shareholders which funding has been
received by Bayesa as discussed above.
Commencing in January 1995 and continuing for 150 months thereafter,
pursuant to its contract with ESSAN, Bayesa will receive monthly payments of
$129,544 for the design and construction of the Bayesa Project. The total value
of this aspect of its contract with ESSAN is approximately $19,431,600.
Additionally, commencing in July 1995, Bayesa began receiving approximately
$40,000 per month (which is adjustable) for 360 months, which amount covers
Bayesa's costs which include personnel, electricity, repairs, etc.
The total cost of design and construction for the Bayesa Project is
estimated at approximately $8 million, plus interest and fees of approximately
$2 million, for a total of approximately $10 million. Therefore, the net pre-tax
profit for the design and construction is approximately $9 million (based upon
$19,431,600 less $10 million).
Additionally, commencing in July 1995, Bayesa began selling reclaimed
water at the rate of 70 liters per second to new agricultural developments in
the Antofagasta area of Chile. Commencing in January 1997, Bayesa anticipates
that it will sell 220 liters per second and based upon these assumptions, the
gross revenues will reach approximately $410,000 per month. The net pre-tax
profit from the sale of this reclaimed water
31
<PAGE>
at this assumed rate is anticipated to be approximately $125,000 per month or
$1.5 million per year. Over the 28-year period, net profits are anticipated to
be approximately $42 million.
MACUL PROJECT
In March 1995, the Company organized Inversiones Tiempo Libre S.A.
("ITL") as a wholly-owned subsidiary to develop, build, market, own and manage a
family-oriented multi-faceted entertainment project. During November 1995, the
Company sold 70% of its interest in this project and in March 1996 the balance
of its interest was sold.
OTHER INVESTMENTS
The Company will use approximately $425,000 from the proceeds of this
Offering to establish an office in Boca Raton, Florida. The Company will also
use approximately $425,000 of this Offering to establish an office in Spain
during the latter part of 1996. The Company believes that this amount, in
addition to cash generated from its core business, will be sufficient to operate
these offices for at least 12 months. The Company believes that it will continue
to operate its core business with cash generated from this aspect of the
business. The Company does not have any plans to increase the operating costs of
its core business in any material respects.
Management does not foresee any need for additional financing as a
result of the Company's equity participation in any of its currently proposed
projects, either to purchase the Company's equity interest or to fund the
proposed projects. Furthermore, the Company will not engage in hedging
activities and does not intend to offer equity participation in any of these
projects other than as set forth in the "Use of Proceeds".

BUSINESS
INTRODUCTION
Andean Development Corporation was organized in 1994 as a holding
company to acquire E&A" and INA, both corporations domiciled in Santiago, Chile.
ADX, domiciled in Boca Raton, Florida, U.S.A., is a subsidiary of Andean
Development Corporation. Andean Development Corporation, E&A, INA, and ADX are
collectively referred to as the "Company" or "ADC".
E&A, organized in February 1991, specializes, as an agent, in the sale
of major electrical and mechanical equipment and the representation of foreign
manufacturers of electrical and mechanical equipment in Chile. E&A also offers
technical assistance and prepares tender (bid) documents for both turnkey and
nonturnkey public works and development projects to be constructed in Chile.
Since 1991, E&A has facilitated in the sale of more than $415 million of
equipment including generators, turbines and conveyors (see "Major Projects" on
p. 41), which has generated more than $5 million of commissions for the Company.
See "Business-Core Business."
INA, organized in 1986, focuses on providing engineering consulting
services and project management for hydroelectric power plants and civil
construction projects generally related to hydroelectric power plants, tunneling
projects and water treatment plants in Chile. Since 1986, INA alone and in
conjunction with Norconsult International, A.S. of Norway ("Norconsult") an
international engineering company, has provided engineering, consulting and
project management services relating to engineering projects valued at $19
million of which approximately $8.6 million was revenues the Company has
realized. See "Business - Core Business."
E&A and INA acting together have also provided consulting and other
services to foreign corporations who are seeking to do business in Chile as
principals or as investors. In this context, the Company, based on its knowledge
of Chile and its economy, evaluates Chilean business opportunities on behalf of
these corporations. Services and analysis provided by the Company include, but
are not limited to: (i) identifying opportunities in Chile consistent with the
interests of the customer, (ii) evaluating alternative opportunities, (iii)
preparing business plans and strategies, (iv) acting as liaison between local
suppliers and the customer, (v) providing assistance in arranging financing and
providing engineering services, (vi) submitting bids and assistance in contract
negotiation, and (vii) project management. The Company has provided these
services to large international entities with well established offices in Chile,
such as Westinghouse, Mitsubishi and Marubeni, as well as other small foreign or
local companies seeking to create and develop business opportunities in Chile.
The Company's strategy is two-fold. First, the Company intends to
continue to grow and expand its core business presently being conducted through
E&A and INA. To facilitate this growth the Company will immediately establish a
sales and marketing office in the United States and in the latter part of 1996
will establish a second sales and marketing office in Spain which may also be
used for sales and marketing throughout Europe. Management of the Company
believes that its future growth will be a natural consequence of the Company's
historical participation in the electric utility sector, ecology oriented
projects and the potable and waste water treatment fields. The Company intends
to expand its marketing focus to include medium sized utilities, private mining
companies and large industrial companies. Management believes these businesses
will require the services of the Company, either to acquire new equipment, to
optimize and/or upgrade their existing installations or to comply with the
increasing ecological regulations of the government.
The Company believes that creating a U.S. holding company and
establishing a U.S. sales and marketing office will enhance its ability to do
business with U.S. companies and other North American companies. As part of this
strategy, the Company will seek to take advantage of the relative stability of
the Chilean peso to the U.S. dollar. As a result of this relative stability, the
Company believes that certain U.S.,
33
<PAGE>
as well as Canadian and Mexican, manufactured equipment and products are now
available at prices competitive with other foreign manufacturers. See "Exchange
Rates." The Company also believes that many U.S. manufacturers may be unfamiliar
with the conditions and the qualifications required to bid on projects in Chile.
By establishing a U.S. office, the Company believes that it will be able to act
as a representative (both on an exclusive and non-exclusive basis) of U.S.
manufacturers both in the U.S. and Chile for projects located in Chile by
providing local expertise and understanding the Chilean business environment.
The Company currently intends to employ one engineer and one marketing person on
a full-time basis in Boca Raton, Florida.
Secondly, the Company intends to capitalize on opportunities in the
current Chilean economy by taking an equity position in certain ecology-oriented
and electrical utility related projects in Chile as well as by providing
management and other services to these projects. The Company also intends to
take advantage of the continuing privatization of businesses in Chile, which has
increased investment in Chile and increased industrial and agricultural output.
As an example of this strategy, the Company, through an affiliate, has entered
into an Agreement (See "Business - Bayesa Project") to invest in a waste water
treatment facility located in Antofagasta, Chile (the "Bayesa Project"). In
addition, the Company is exploring potential equity participation in
ecology-related and electric utility-related projects such as small to
medium-sized hydroelectric generating plants, electrical utilities and other
water-related projects. See "Business - Strategy for Equity Participation."
Although, as of the date of this Prospectus, the Company has not entered into
any agreements with respect to acquiring equity interests in projects other than
the Bayesa Project,
E&A was organized on February 28, 1991, in Santiago, Chile as a limited
partnership under the name "Errazuriz y Asociados Ingenieros Limitada." On
September 21, 1994, pursuant to Chilean law, E&A was reorganized as a Chilean
corporation and its name was changed to "Errazuriz y Asociados Ingenieros, S.A."
INA was organized on June 11, 1986, in Santiago, Chile as a limited partnership
under the name "Ingenieria Norconsult Andina Limitada." On September 15, 1994,
pursuant to Chilean law, INA was reorganized from a limited partnership to a
Chilean corporation, and its name was changed to "Igenor Andina S.A."
The Company, under the name "Igenor U.S.A., Inc.," was incorporated on
October 19, 1994, under the laws of the State of Florida. On January 10, 1995,
its name was changed to "Andean Development Corporation." The Company's offices
are currently located at 835 Lakeside Drive, Boca Raton, Florida, U.S.A. and its
telephone number is (407) 482-6336.
CORE BUSINESS
E&A specializes as an agent in the sale of major electrical and
mechanical equipment through the representation of foreign manufacturers of
these types of equipment and products. A substantial amount of its sales are for
equipment relating to the electrical utilities, mining, and materials handling
industries which include medium and high voltage generators, transformers,
controls, cables, gas and steam turbines and industrial boilers, as well as
other materials such as cranes, unloading facilities, coal handling systems,
crushers, air cleaning systems and ventilators. Additionally, E&A offers
technical assistance to bidders during the preparation of tender (bid) documents
for turnkey and non-turnkey projects as well as throughout a project, once bids
have been awarded. E&A has been successful in obtaining and maintaining its
representations of foreign equipment manufacturers by offering engineering and
sales support by experienced civil and industrial engineers. These individuals
are knowledgeable in both the technical and sales aspects of a project and also
have the contacts and networks in Chile necessary to successfully compete with
larger international companies. While many of the services offered by the
Company are comparable to those of its competitors, because of the Company's
historical presence in Chile and reputation for quality services, it can
effectively compete with larger competitors and offer additional services not
available from its competitors. See "Business - Core Business; Competition."
34
<PAGE>
The services offered by E&A include, but are not limited to:
1. * Forecasting of market trends
* Market research
* Financing (expertise in local and foreign loans)
* Packaging with other manufacturers
* Knowledge of the decision making procedures and the scheduling
of projects
2. * Local engineering support (by the Company's employees or
through subcontractors)
* Procurement of local materials and products
* Construction and plant erection capabilities
* Project managing capabilities
* Coordination with customer and customer engineering
While E&A does not charge any fee for the services described in item 1
above and funds the related operating costs, the services described in item 2
above are developed for a customer on a fee basis once a project is secured.
Additionally, equipment manufacturers pay E&A a commission upon receipt of the
award of the project. The commission is typically based on a percentage of the
amount of the sale, which varies depending upon the size and scope of the
project.
In preparing bid documents for various projects, E&A has and will
continue to form consortiums of various equipment manufacturers who provide
products on competitive terms and conditions. E&A may also assist in obtaining
financing of projects through both domestic (Chile) and international financial
institutions.
INA was initially organized in 1986 as a joint venture between
Norconsult, a worldwide engineering consulting company based in Oslo, Norway and
Errazuriz y Asociados Arquitectos S.A. ("EAA"). EAA is a major shareholder of
ADC whose shareholders include Berta Dominguez (58%), the Chairman and CEO of
E&A and the wife of Pedro P. Errazuriz, the President, CEO and Chairman of the
Board of ADC, and each of their six children (7% each). See "Principal
Shareholders." Norconsult, which subsequently sold its participation to Igenor
Ingenierie et Gestion, S.A. a holding company which is a majority shareholder of
the Company and whose shareholders include Mr. Errazuriz (50%), his wife
(49.25%), their son Pedro Pablo Errazuriz (.25%) and M. Claude Mermier (.25%) a
director of ADC. See "Principal Shareholders."
INA focuses primarily on providing engineering consulting services for
hydroelectric plants and civil construction projects (tunneling projects). Most
of the engineering services provided by INA result from INA's exclusive
representation of Norconsult. Currently, one or two hydroelectric plants are
built in Chile every year, while each year Norconsult participates world-wide in
the design of 10 to 15 of such plants. As a result, INA's relationship with
Norconsult provides INA with the ability to offer its customers state-of-the-art
knowledge for these types of projects while, at the same time, associating with
local engineering companies in preparing bid documents for such projects. INA
also offers most services relating to hydroelectric power plants, from the
pre-construction stage through the commissioning of the project. As an example,
in conjunction with Cade-Idepe (Chile's largest engineering company), INA was
recently awarded a feasibility study for the Rucue Project, a new hydroelectric
power plant of 100 MW to be built by Colbun S.A., a government owned utility, in
Chile.
While Chile builds approximately 20 to 30 kilometers of tunnels each
year, Norconsult has designed and inspected approximately 700 kilometers per
year for the past 20 years. This experience, along with the sophistication of
the projects in which Norconsult has been involved (which include water pressure
tunnels), gives the Company an added advantage of having a knowledgeable
resource for these types of projects in Chile. As an example, on May 15, 1995,
INA and Norconsult had Andrade Gutierrez, a large Brazilian contractor and
investor, design the pre-feasibility study for the first segment of 40
kilometers of pressure tunnels for a 400 MW hydropower project for Cortaderal.
See "Major Projects" and "1995/1996 Proposed
35
<PAGE>
Projects" for an overview of the types of services for which INA may provide
both in connection with hydroelectric power plants and tunneling projects.
Additionally, INA erects electro-mechanical installations and material
handling systems. As a project manager, INA coordinates with a consortium of
equipment manufacturers in the preparation and delivery of turnkey projects
after a bid has been awarded. INA also provides local engineering support to its
clients.
Both E&A and INA believe they have built excellent reputations in their
specific areas of expertise, having been involved in the greater majority of all
hydroelectric plants built in Chile since 1985, as well as other major
electro-mechanical projects. See "Major Projects." A major part of the Company's
know-how is its understanding of the customer's needs and being able to offer
its customers goods and services that deviate only to the extent that such
deviations or substitutions make a bid more competitive. The Company believes
that in order to be awarded a bid, a bidder needs to know the end-user and
through the years, the Company has obtained this knowledge by working with the
major companies in Chile (both private and public) who request these bids. See
"Major Projects".
With a portion of the proceeds of this Offering, the Company is seeking
to further grow its core business by expanding in North America and Europe as
well as to seek additional representation of U.S. and other North American based
companies for sales to be made in Chile. To facilitate this growth, the Company
has decided to establish permanent offices located in Boca Raton, Florida and
Spain. The Company believes that by establishing its presence in the U.S. and
Europe, it will be more competitive because it will have more direct access to
foreign manufacturers located in the U.S., as well as other countries in North
America and in Europe. For example, manufacturers such as Rapid Power, Inc.
(formerly represented exclusively by the Company), a U.S. based manufacturer of
rectifiers, are well known in the U.S. as manufacturers of energy-related
equipment, but to the Company's knowledge, many Chilean customers are not aware
of companies such as Rapid Power. As a result, many of these U.S. manufacturers
provide little, if any, documentation that explains their experience or the
performance of their products to companies requesting bids for Chilean projects,
and most Chilean companies will not qualify manufacturers in the list of bidders
without such documentation. Because of the Company's understanding of these
dynamics, it believes it is able to offer U.S. manufacturers as well as other
foreign manufacturers who wish to enter into the Chilean market, expertise that
other companies, who offer services similar to those of the Company, do not
possess.
MARKETING AND SALES
The Company's marketing and sales are presently managed by the
Company's management, in-house engineers and other technical employees. A
substantial amount of the marketing accomplished is by word of mouth, personal
visits and solicitations by the Company's management and employees. The Company
uses brochures and does limited advertising in trade journals and publications
in Chile. The Company will initiate a more formal sales and marketing program
upon the opening of its new offices in the U.S. and Spain.
HISTORY AND ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
From the inception of INA in 1986, the Company has transitioned itself
from small equipment sales into commercial work and procuring large turnkey
projects as a consultant to and representative of international consortiums.
Commencing in or about 1991, the Company has specialized in the energy and
mining sector, as well as in port installations for coal and other material
handling systems. In connection with these activities, the Company has also
acted as a project manager and a supplier of specialized engineering services.
Generally, all services related to engineering, design, consulting, supervising
and inspecting of construction projects have been initiated by INA and those
related to sale of equipment for construction projects have been initiated by
E&A.

The Company has not experienced any significant differences between
dealing with governmental agencies or with private companies, whether national
or international, nor does the Company believe that the continuing trend of
privatization in Chile will have an adverse effect on its core business and, in
fact, will likely continue to affect its core business in a positive manner. The
Company's services have historically been provided to both private companies and
governmental agencies, with more than half of the Company's total revenues
coming from the private sector during 1995.
While prior to 1980 the greater majority of equipment for the mining
and the utilities industries in Chile was purchased from U.S. manufacturers, due
to the strength of the U.S. dollar in relationship to other currencies during
the 1980's, the cost of goods and services from the U.S. became less competitive
than that of other foreign manufacturers. Additionally, during the 1980's, many
U.S. manufacturers reduced their international initiatives which made it very
difficult to deal with U.S. manufacturers. However, due to both stabilization of
the U.S. dollar and the Chilean peso in the late 1980's, prices of U.S. produced
equipment became more competitive in Chile. Now with the possible inclusion of
Chile as a signatory to NAFTA, which reduces tariffs among member nations and
therefore increases trade, the potential for additional relationships between
the Company and North American companies may increase. Regardless of whether
Chile is included as a member of NAFTA, management believes that as a result of
the privatization and growth of the Chilean economy, foreign investment
(including from the U.S.) in Chile will continue to increase. To enhance its
success rate in both private and public tenders (bids), the Company is seeking
to obtain additional exclusive representation of U.S., Canadian and Mexican
manufacturers in specific market areas. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Overview." With the
establishment of a sales and marketing office in Boca Raton, Florida, which will
initially include at least one engineer and one marketing person, as well as an
office in Spain, the Company will more aggressively pursue opportunities with
North American and European manufacturers and other companies who wish to do
business in Chile.
While the Company acknowledges that large international power and
utility companies have invested directly in Chile and that certain manufacturers
have established local offices in Chile, management believes that the Company's
growth should continue because of its local knowledge and experience with
Chilean projects. In particular, the Chilean economy is currently at a point
where several large international power and utilities companies including
Southern Electric Corp. (USA), Transalta Corp. (Canada), Iberduero S.A. (Spain)
and Andrade Gutierrez S.A. (Brazil) have invested directly in major
hydro-electrical power plants in Chile. The Company believes that because of its
experience in a majority of the hydro-electrical plants constructed in Chile
over the past 10 years, the Company has and will continue to work with these
large power and utilities companies by offering their engineering and sales
services and support. Furthermore, international companies will not necessarily
participate in smaller projects because of the economics of size and cost and
the Company will continue to aggressively bid for these projects.
Additionally, while several foreign manufacturers have established
offices in Chile, the Company continues to represent these manufacturers on a
case by case basis. For example, Babcock Wilcox Espanola hired E&A to sell its
150 MW coal fired thermopower plant to Southern Electric Corp. while maintaining
a local office in Chile; Endesa S.A., the largest electric utility in Chile, has
hired INA to provide engineering services for specialized projects in rock
mechanics while maintaining their own in-house engineering staff through
INGENDESA, the wholly-owned engineering subsidiary of Endesa S.A., of more than
350 engineers; and Biwater Ltd. (UK) has asked the Company to represent them and
become equity partners in the Bayesa Project. See "Business-Strategy for Equity
Participation and The Bayesa Project."
Moreover, the trend in the private sector has been to specialize in a
company's core business and subcontract for services and supplies from other
companies that may be more efficient in those areas. For example, the Company
has been a supplier of equipment, spare parts and engineering services for most
of the largest utilities in Chile (ENDESA, S.A., Chilgener S.A., Minera,
Valparaiso S.A., CREO (Cooperativa Regional Electrica de Osorno), and Edelnor
S.A., which are private companies; and Codelco (Corporacion
37
<PAGE>
Nacional del Cobre de Chile), Colbun S.A., and Petrox S.A. (Electricidad del
Aysen S.A.) which are government-owned). See "Major Projects." Management
believes that the trend toward specialization, which includes segregating the
generation, distribution and transmission of electricity, enhances the role of
specialized companies such as E&A (as agents or representatives) and INA (as
engineers). The ability of the Company to adapt to the changes in the Chilean
economy has permitted it to develop new contacts with Westinghouse, Mitsubishi
and Marubeni where the Company has participated in four new combined power cycle
plant projects in Chile which are Renca 1 and 2 (Chilgener); Polpaico and
Bocamina (Endesa) and El Rodeo, now called Limache (Colbun). The Company is also
working with Westinghouse and Mitsubishi on projects in Argentina.
1995 PROJECTS
During 1995, the Company was involved in the following significant
projects within their core business:
RENCA I - CHILGENER
The second largest utility in Chile had a tender offer for a combined
cycle thermo-electric plant to be located in Santiago. Because of the scope and
complexity of this tender, Mitsubishi engaged the Company to act as their
consultant to advise as to the engineering interpretation of the tender
documents, the development of a financial strategy and to act as their
representative in all negotiations with Chilgener. Although Mitsubishi was not
successful in this tender, the Company received a substantial fee for their
consultancy. More importantly, this engagement marked the first time that the
Company was engaged by a customer whereby the fee was not contingent on the
success of the bid.
LOMA ALTA
Empresa Electrica Hydrovevey Pehuenche, S.A., a subsidiary of Endesa,
the largest electrical utility in Chile, requested tender offers for the supply
and construction of a 80MW hydroelectric plant. The Company acted as the
representative for the Siemens Hydrovevey Consortium, who were the successful
bidders at approximately $16.7 million.
ENDESSA
The Company successfully represented a joint venture of
Mitsubishi/Westinghouse in a tender offer to Endesa S.A. for a 350MW natural
gas-fired power plan to be installed 50 kilometers south of Santiago. The total
value of this award winning turnkey bid was approximately $150 million.
PUERTO VENTANAS CEMENT HANDLING PROJECT
Cemento Melon, the leading cement company in Chile, called for tender
offers to build a cement and clinker unloading system in Puerto Ventanas, 120
miles from Santiago, with a stock capacity of 45,000 metric tons and a value of
$15 million. The contract has been awarded to General Electric Engineering
Services, for which the Company acted as consultant.

STRATEGY FOR EQUITY PARTICIPATION
Although, both E&A and INA have been profitable for more than the past
four years, the ability to expand their businesses and to increase profitability
is limited by the nature of their core service businesses, as their activities
depend exclusively on the number of bids that are awarded to each of them.
Income from these businesses requires that first, new projects are developed;
second, appropriate equipment is available to offer to the project at
competitive prices; and third and most important, that the businesses are
successful in selling the equipment and services. To expand the businesses of
E&A and INA the Company through consolidation may mean higher fixed costs and
less flexibility. Alternatively, increasing the number of employees does not
necessarily mean increased sales and profitability to the Company.
Management believes that by establishing an equity position in certain
projects, it will be able to grow a more solid asset base which will provide the
Company with the following: (a) steady profitable growth; (b) stabilized cash
flow; and (c) the ability to further capitalize on the dynamics of the Chilean
economy. There are two emerging areas in which the Company intends to focus:
ecology-related projects, specifically in sewage treatment and water supply,
both of which are starting to be developed by and through private companies in
Chile and projects primarily undertaken by smaller electric utilities.
Therefore, in addition to its core business, the Company seeks to raise
sufficient capital to establish equity positions in certain projects. See "Use
of Proceeds."
WATER SUPPLY AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITIES
While Chile has made significant economic gains over the past 10 years
in terms of foreign trade, development of electrical utilities and export of
agricultural and cellulose products, the efforts of the Chilean government to
take actions in the sanitary services and waste water treatment have been slower
in coming. The first steps toward waste water treatment commenced in 1987 when
the Ministry of Public Works called for bids to clean the Mapocho River Systems
(which account for 30% of all the waste water in Santiago), however a number of
political stalemates halted development in this area until 1993. It is the
announced intent of the Chilean government to privatize the water utility
industry. As part of standard bid documents, the purchaser of various water
utilities projects will be required to install water treatment facilities or
subcontract to companies, such as the Company, specializing in this area.
Since 1993, Chile has commenced an ecological-oriented development that
includes not only waste water management, but also other areas of pollution
control, committing large sums of money, particularly for the mining and oil
refinery sector owned by the government. It is estimated that Corporacion del
Cobre (Codelco), the state-owned copper mine company which owns Codelco Mining
will spend $500 million over five years; Enami, the state-owned minerals
refining company, will spend $200 million over five years; and the larger
sanitary-related companies such as EMOS, in charge of the water system for
Santiago, should spend $500 million to $1 billion over the next 10 years.
Additionally, other areas close to Santiago and other major cities, are now
starting to develop plans to develop water resources and install wastewater nets
and treatment plants. In connection with this growth, the Chilean government has
issued Decree Law 351 that regulates the constitutional right of a citizen to
live in an environment free of contaminants and in particular, addresses issues
concerning potable water.
46
<PAGE>
Realizing that there appeared to be an emerging business in water
purification and treatment due to the Chilean government's announced plans to
privatize the water utilities and its initiatives to ensure clean water and air
for its citizens, the Company sought relationships with foreign entities that
have experience in water purification. Effective January 1993, the Company
entered into a representation agreement with Biwater, a major international
company engaged in waste water treatment and facilities whose principal office
is located in Surrey, England to develop one project in the waste water
treatment in the North area of Chile.
In connection with this Agreement, the Company researched and will
continue to research and develop the market in the north of Chile for both its
own services and those of Biwater's in Chile. The results of this research
concluded that Chile was initially slow to react to its citizen's needs for
better sanitary conditions. Additionally, based on its research, the Company
believes that an investment of up to $2 billion by both the private and public
sector over the next 10 years will be necessary in order to bring the sanitary
facilities up to international standards (See discussion above).
BAYESA PROJECT
Late in 1993, Corporacion de Fomento ("CORFO"), the Chilean agency for
the development of the country, decided to commence with three new waste water
treatment facility projects which would place the treatment of water and the
sale of reclaimed water in the private sector by means of a subcontract through
a public entity. In April 1994, CORFO, through Empresa de Servicios Sanitarios
de Antofagasta, S.A. ("ESSAN"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CORFO in charge of
the water system for the Province of Antofagasta, called for public bids to
construct and manage a waste water treatment facility (the "Bayesa Project").
The Company, on behalf of Bayesa, S.A., a consortium owned by Biwater (90%) and
A&E (10%), was the successful bidder for the Bayesa Project. The contract
included design, construction and management of the waste water facility, as
well as the right to sell reclaimed industrial grade water. During 1995 the
Company acquired a 45% interest in A&E, which translates into a 4.5% interest in
Bayesa from Invdemco and with a portion of the proceeds ($141,750) will acquire
A&E shares from Invdemco an additional 22.5% interest in A&E, which will
translate into an additional 2.25% interest in Bayesa The Company may also
purchase additional equity in Bayesa from Biwater depending on the cost of the
shares compared to other potential projects. See "Use of Proceeds" and "Certain
Transactions."
The agreement dated September 1, 1994, between ESSAN and Bayesa is
divided into three separate, although related, segments. The first is the
construction of an interceptor of 3.6 miles of waste water recovery pipelines,
pumping stations and a treatment plant connected to an emergency sea outfall.
During this segment, Bayesa will act as a contractor, performing construction
services for ESSAN. Income from ESSAN to Bayesa is based on 150 monthly
installments, commencing in January 1995, of approximately $129,000 per month.
The second part of the contract consists of the operation of the waste
water disposal and treatment system. Income from ESSAN to Bayesa will be in
fixed monthly installments of approximately $40,000 for a period of 30 years,
plus a variable monthly rate based on the amount of treated water of $18.60 per
1,000 cubic meter. The third segment of the contract is the sale of treated
(purified) waste water for irrigation and industrial purposes. The Company
believes that upon completion of the pipelines and pumping station (estimated to
be 14-16 months), Bayesa will be able to sell the industrial and agricultural
grade water for $.60 per cubic meter. The drinkable water price is $1.10 per
cubic meter.
Bayesa has signed a letter of intent with the Antofagasta Municipality
to provide water to local parks. Additionally, the Chilean Ministry of
Agriculture is planning a new farming facility in this area which may purchase a
significant amount of the industrial grade water to be produced by the Bayesa
Project. However, there can be no assurance that Bayesa will be able to sell all
the treated water for farming or industrial purposes that the sewage waste water
facility of Antofagasta will be able to provide.

<PAGE>
Additionally, the Company believes that anticipated profits to Bayesa
from the sale of reclaimed water may also be significant because of the location
of the Bayesa Project in Antofagasta. Antofagasta is a seaside city
approximately 1,000 miles north of Santiago. It serves as the beach resort and
the port for the Chuquicamata copper mine, currently the world's largest open
pit copper mine, and many other large mines located approximately 200 miles to
the east in or around the city of Calama. The Antofagasta region is primarily
desert and therefore receives very little, if any, precipitation. The region,
however, has had significant growth, more than doubling its mining activity and
population over the past 10 years, and has an anticipated population growth rate
of 3-5% per year. This population growth rate is directly attributable to the
increased economic development in the area. In addition to the continual
expansion of the Chuquicamata mine, there are now more than three additional
copper mines under development, which are anticipated to be similar in size to
the Chuquicamata mine.
While the Chilean government is currently pursuing the implementation
of pollution-control technologies in new state-owned and private mining
companies to minimize the need for end-of-pipe solutions such as the Bayesa
Project, these new technologies are geared to the mines themselves and not to
the waste resulting from the cities that may surround these mines. Therefore,
the Company believes that there will be a continued population growth that will
create an increased need for more water which will be available through the
Bayesa Project, and other future waste water and potable water projects on which
the Company intends to bid.
The Bayesa Project will terminate after 30 years of operation as the
written agreement between the parties foresees the transfer of all installations
to ESSAN for no consideration. The Company took the reversion of the Bayesa
Project back to ESSAN into consideration when deciding to take an equity
position in the Bayesa Project, and concluded to that it made economic sense to
invest in the Bayesa Project because of its potential profitability during the
30-year term of the contract. The Company intends to participate, in a joint
venture with Biwater, in bidding for the full property of ESSAN (or a percentage
thereof), once the Chilean government and Parliament have determined the method
to privatize the sanitary section of the government. The ability of the Company
to participate in this bidding process will depend on its future cash flow.
Bayesa typically will require the services of E&A for future
engineering studies and administrative decisions related to the economy of the
Bayesa Project, as well as to supply equipment and spare parts for the project.
Additionally, Bayesa will require the support of E&A to sell treated water and
will pay E&A a commission for these sales. There is no written obligation from
Bayesa to continue to use E&A for these services. Nonetheless, because of its
position as an equity participant in Bayesa, the Company does not foresee any
change in the current oral agreements between Bayesa and E&A. See "Use of
Proceeds" and "Certain Transactions."
IQUIQUE WATER PROJECT - "AGUAS DE IQUIQUE"
The city of Iquique is located in the middle of a desert area, 1,100
miles north from Santiago. It is a fast growing city due to the copper, gold,
Nitrate and Iodine mining projects that have been and are being constructed in
the area. Water sources are as far away as 150 miles inland in the Andes
Mountains. The Chilean Military owns a property 25 miles away from Iquique. This
property contains underground streams that could produce 100 liters per second
of water. The military, however, is precluded from any commercial activities.
The Company is presently in negotiations with the Army to acquire the
rights to the underground water. The basis of the potential contract is a
concession for 25 years. During that period, the Company will be able to
commercialize the water, selling it for housing or industrial purposes. The
Company will pay the Army a tariff for each cubic meter sold (around .05
USD/m3). The Company will perform the works and
48
<PAGE>
provide the investment needed to carry the water to the consumption centers
(digging wells, pumping, eventually treatment, piping).
The current price of the water in Iquique is around $0.80 USD per cubic
meter. Annual production is estimated to be $1,900,000. Net profit to the
Company after taxes from this project could be more than $400,000 annually.
Additionally, if more water resources are found in the Army's land, the Company
intends to negotiate an option to include these sources in the future contract
at the same price and conditions.
The Company is currently in the process of studying the cost of the
project in order to determine if it will proceed. If the Company makes a
determination to proceed and depending on costs, it may seek additional equity
partners for this project.
In addition to those projects referenced above, Chilgener, the second
largest electrical generating company in Chile, is developing a strategy to
diversify its investments. Among the key areas that it is seeking to diversify
into are water treatment, sewage treatment and water supply. In this regard,
Chilgener has engaged the Company as a consultant to study various possibilities
in this area. The Company has identified the following geographic areas for
Chilgener.
Antofagasta has a population of 250,000 in a desert area 1,000 miles to
the north from Santiago. It is the center of the largest copper mining projects
in the country and, as a consequence of the very active investments in this
field, is growing at rate of 3% to 5% annually. The need for water resources,
water supply and distribution and additional sewage treatment is anticipated to
be very critical in the next few years and is seen as a significant business
opportunity.
Colina is one of the main suburbs for Santiago. Currently, many first
class real estate projects are under development in this area. It is expected
that, in 10 years the population will grow to 600,000. Water is currently a
limitation and is expected to become a major problem in the near future. The
Company has been asked to analyze a water business in this sector for Chilgener
and may be interested in participating in that business, if one develops.
A similar situation has occurred in Temuco, the fastest growing city in
Chile. In 1995, the population increase in Temuco was 23% and currently it has
around 300,000 inhabitants. Chilgener has requested the Company to investigate,
a water supply project that could be developed in that city.
These studies have recently begun and therefore while the Company would
consider a joint venture and equity participation with Chilgener on any of these
possibilities, it will require more research and analysis.
ESSAT (ARICA WATER SUPPLY)
The city of Arica, Chile's most northern city, has a potential water
shortage of between 100 and 200 liters per second. However, the local farmers of
the Azapa Valley situated in close proximity to Arica, have between 400 and 600
liters per second of industrial grade water for farming that could be treated by
Essat (the local water authority). The Company is organizing a plan to build a
treatment plant, negotiate an agreement among the parties and a negotiate a
contract with Essat to buy approximately 200 liters per second of potable water
from the farmers and replace it with treated water from the city of Arica.
Biwater, is expected to participate in this project. The anticipated date of the
award is October 31, 1996, and the anticipated date of completion is March 30,
1998. If awarded the bid, the Company would provide engineering services as well
as a fee. Additionally, the Company would consider purchasing an equity position
in the project, which terms have not been determined. There are no current
agreements at this time.

PROJECTS RELATED ^TO ELECTRICITY
EDELAYSEN S.A.
During 1983, CORFO (the state-owned development corporation)
incorporated Empressa Electrica de Aysen, S.A. (Edelaysen) to consolidate
various electric grounding and distribution systems located in the south of
Chile, into one company. Today, Edelaysen S.A. has a present demand of 9,000 KW
and more than 19,000 customers. CORFO intends to sell this utility by public
tender on or about August 30, 1996. The Company is currently reviewing various
financial and other documents and anticipates that it will render a bid to
purchase this utility. There cannot, however, be any assurances that the Company
will be the successful bidder.
COMPETITION
The Company believes that each aspect of its business is competitive
and that competition is based not only on price but also on quality of service.
The Company's competitors include a number of international companies with local
offices in Santiago, Chile, many of which are larger and better capitalized than
the Company. While a majority of these larger competitors may bid on the same
projects as the Company, and although there can be no assurances that the offers
will be competitive, the Company believes that it has and will continue to
participate effectively in the bid process.
Most of the Company's competitors are Chilean based intermediaries with
some "local" know-how with respect to the Chilean market, but who do not
actively engage in the electric utility, mining and materials handling
industries in Chile. More typically, the Company's competitors have local
offices which consist of a small administrative and sales staff who, in most
cases, are not engineers. To the Company's knowledge, these competitors rely on
the engineering expertise of local subcontractors (such as the Company) or on
engineers who are not Chilean-based. On the other hand, the Company's staff is
comprised of Chilean-based civil and industrial engineers who have an
understanding of the intricacies of bid documents, the nuances of Chilean
projects, and who have the ability to source local manufacturers to complement
the equipment to be purchased from foreign manufacturers, in order to present a
competitively priced package. Additionally, the Company's engineers are also its
sales force, so the Company is able to provide continued sales and engineering
support throughout the entire scope of the project.
The Company believes it has demonstrated its ability to seek and enter
into relationships with those manufacturers whose products are most
competitively priced, not only in terms of dollars, but also in terms of overall
product efficiency and support for specific projects. Moreover, the Company has
been successful in putting together consortiums of manufacturers, whereby it has
been able to quote on the large multi-faceted projects. Nonetheless, the Company
believes that each area of the new projects and investments in which the Company
intends to become involved is highly competitive. Its competitors may be larger,
better capitalized, may have more experienced management, and may have greater
access to resources which may be deemed necessary to produce a competitive
advantage and there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to
operate at its current level, enabling it to be profitable.
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
GENERAL
The Company's business is subject to the full range of governmental
regulation and supervision generally applicable to companies engaged in business
in Chile, including labor laws, social security laws, public health,
environmental laws, securities laws and anti-trust laws.
50
<PAGE>
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS
Bayesa"s agreement with the Municipality of Antofagasta for the Bayesa
Project provides that certain water, once treated at the Bayesa Project, will be
disposed of in the ocean. In order for the Bayesa Project to discard this water
into the ocean, the amount of contaminants remaining must meet the requirements
mandated by Chilean environmental laws.
FOREIGN INVESTMENT LAWS AND REGULATIONS
The Chilean Constitution establishes that any Chilean or foreigner may
freely develop any activity in Chile so long as the activity does not contravene
existing laws dealing with public morals, public safety or national security. It
also establishes the principle of non-discrimination, thus guaranteeing foreign
investors equal protection under Chilean law. Additionally, Chilean law
prohibits any discretionary acts by the Chilean government or other entities
against the rights of persons or property in derogation of this principle.
Foreign investors may transfer capital and net profits abroad. There are no
exchange control regulations which restrict the repatriation of the investment
or earnings except that the remittance of capital may take place starting a year
after the date the funds were brought into the country, but net profits can be
remitted at any time. Therefore, equity investments in Chile by persons who are
not Chilean residents follow the same rules as investments made by Chilean
citizens.
These principles are the basis for the Foreign Investment Law of 1974
(commonly known as DL 600) by which foreigners are guaranteed to receive equal
treatment access to all segments of the economy subject to a limited number of
internationally-accepted exceptions. Based on DL 600, the foreign investor and
the government sign a legally-binding investment contract which may only be
modified by mutual consent. The contract sets forth the current law as it
relates to the specific investments by that investor in Chile. Thus, the
investor is protected against any subsequent changes in the law which could
adversely affect the investor or his investments in Chile. Although the Chilean
Government has been successful in keeping this principle in place for the last
21 years, there is little information regarding the unilateral breach of an
investment contract by the Government and there can be no assurances that a
breach by the Government will not occur in the future or that it would not
adversely affect the rights of the Company to do business in Chile. Moreover,
while there has been no precedent that political changes had determined changes
in these rules, no assurances can be made that such changes will not occur in
the future. The Company intends to enter into an investment contract with the
Government of Chile on or around the closing of this Offering.
CONTROLS ON FOREIGN INVESTMENTS
Equity investments in Chile by persons who are not Chilean residents
follow the same rules as the investments of the citizens of the country. Foreign
investors may transfer abroad capital and net profits that they generate. There
are no exchange control regulations which restrict the repatriation of the
investment or earnings therefrom except that the remittance of capital may take
place starting a year after the date the funds were brought into the country,
but net profits can be remitted at any time. Although there has been no
precedent that political changes had determined changes in these rules, no
assurance can be given that this situation will not occur in the future.
EMPLOYEES
As of June 15, 1996, the Company employed 18 full-time employees, nine
of whom are managers/engineers and nine of whom are administrative staff.
Employees of the Company are not represented by labor unions. The Company
considers its relationship with its employees to be good.
51
<PAGE>
PROPERTIES
The Company leases a 3,300 square foot office in Santiago, Chile
pursuant to a month-to-month lease at a monthly rate of $4,351.20 per month.
The Company currently owns a house located near Villarrica in the south
of Chile situated on approximately 13.5 acres. the Villarrica Property. As of
March 31, 1996, the book value of the 13.5 acre Villarrica Property was
$1,212,063 and had outstanding mortgages of approximately $700,000. The Company
intends to sell the Property to a related entity (Invdemco), and will satisfy
the outstanding mortgage on the property upon the closing of this Offering. See
"Use of Proceeds" and "Certain Transactions."
The Company, through INA, also owns a farm located in Villarrica
consisting of two lots of an aggregate of approximately 107.75 acres. The farm
is used as a guarantee for bank loans and other financing operations.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is not a party to any pending litigation.

member of Mr. Pedro P. Errazuriz, the Chief Executive Officer,
President and Chairman of the Board of ADC. See "Principal
Shareholders." The proportions established as compensation to be paid
by the different companies was arbitrarily determined, intended to
minimize tax payments and to indicate the involvement of the Company's
executives in all related companies. Upon the closing of this Offering,
the Company's management will be employed by ADC.
(2) The gross salary includes social security and retirement benefits.
Social Security in Chile was established as a private system, that
requires all companies to retain 20% of the gross salaries of its
employees which is used to pay both Administrators of Pension Funds
Companies ("AFP") and Institutions of Previsional Health ("ISAPRE").
The allocation of this 20% to each service is as follows:
(a) 10% to the AFP: This amount is deposited in an individual
interest-bearing account of each employee to cover their
retirement. In Chile, the age of retirement is 60 years in
case of women and 65 years for men.
(b) 3% to the AFP: This amount covers any partial or permanent
disability and, in the case of death, will provide a monthly
amount to the deceased's spouse. The amount paid corresponds
to 70% of an employee's average salary, based upon the last 10
years of the employee's life.
Both items (a) and (b) are limited to approximately $1,700 per month.
(c) 7% to the ISAPRE: This amount covers medical fees,
hospitalization and clinical examinations, although in many
instances it may be necessary to pay additional costs for
health care.
Chilean law requires the payment of one month salary for each year
worked by the employee when he is dismissed. When the employee
terminates his or her employment, no compensation is legally required.
(3) Paid in full from the Company to the employee.
(4) Includes an annual allowance of $15,000 for automobile costs and
maintenance; an annual housing/vacation allowance of $10,500; $7,200
for domestic employees; and $46,404, based upon a percentage of profit
of the Company. This profit percentage was based on 2% of the total net
profits of all related companies for 1995, calculated to Chilean
accounting standards. In the future, all accounting standards will be
pursuant to U.S. GAAP.
(5) Includes an annual allowance of $15,000 for automobile costs and
maintenance; an annual housing/vacation allowance of $10,500; $7,200
for domestic employees and $45,781 based upon a percentage of profit of
the Company for 1994.
(6) Includes $15,000 car allowance.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
On March 15, 1996, the Company entered into employment agreements with
Messrs. Pedro P. Errazuriz, Jose Luis Yrarrazaval, Juan Phillips and Gonzalo
Cordua. Each of the employment contracts are for one year. The salaries and
social security benefits will not be less than those for fiscal year 1995, which
shall be determined by the Company's Board of Directors. Additionally, these
individuals will also be entitled to a bonus, as determined by the Company's
Board of Directors.
INCENTIVE AND NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLANS
Under the Company's Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Option Plan") and
Directors Stock Option Plan (the "Directors Plan"), 175,000 shares of Common
Stock and 75,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively, are reserved for issuance
upon exercise of options. The Plans are designed to serve as an incentive for
56
<PAGE>
retaining qualified and competent employees and directors. Both the Stock Option
Plan and the Directors Plan apply to Andean Development Corporation and each of
its subsidiaries. No options have been issued under the Plans.
The Company's Board of Directors, or a committee thereof, administers
and interprets the Stock Option Plan and is authorized to grant options
thereunder to all eligible employees of the Company, including officers and
directors (whether or not employees) of the Company. The Stock Option Plan
provides for the granting of "incentive stock options" (as defined in Section
422 of the Internal Revenue Code), non-statutory stock options and "reload
options." Options may be granted under the Stock Option Plan on such terms and
at such prices as determined by the Board, or a committee thereof, except that
in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a 10% shareholder, the per
share exercise price will not be less than 110% of such fair market value. The
aggregate fair market value of the shares covered by incentive stock options
granted under the Plans that become exercisable by a grantee for the first time
in any calendar year is subject to a $100,000 limit.
The purchase price for any option under the Stock Option Plan may be
paid in cash, in shares of Common Stock or such other consideration that is
acceptable to the Board of Directors or the committee thereof. If the exercise
price is paid in whole or in part in Common Stock, such exercise may result in
the issuance of additional options, known as "reload options," for the same
number of shares of Common Stock surrendered upon the exercise of the underlying
option. The reload option would be generally subject to the same provisions and
restrictions set forth in the Stock Option Plan as the underlying option except
as varied by the Board of Directors or the committee thereof. A reload option
enables the optionee to ultimately own the same number of shares as the optionee
would have owned if the optionee had exercised all options for cash.
Only non-employee directors are eligible to receive options under the
Directors Plan. The Directors Plan provides for an automatic grant of an option
to purchase 3,000 shares of Common Stock upon a person's election as a director
of the Company and an automatic grant of an option to purchase 3,000 shares of
Common Stock at each annual meeting through which a director's term continues.
Upon consummation of this Offering, the Company will grant to each of Messrs.
Coddou and Mermier options to purchase an aggregate of 6,000 shares of Common
Stock under the Directors Plan at an exercise price equal to the initial public
offering price of the Common Stock offered hereby.
Options granted under the Stock Option Plan will be exercisable after
the period or periods specified in the option agreement, and options granted
under the Directors Plan are exercisable immediately. Options granted under the
Plans are not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date of
grant and are not transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution. The Plans also authorize the Company to make loans to optionees to
enable them to exercise their options.
INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
The Florida Business Corporation Act (the "Corporation Act") permits
the indemnification of directors, employees, officers and agents of Florida
corporations. The Company's Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles") and
Bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify its directors and officers to
the fullest extent permitted by the Corporation Act. Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to directors, officers or
persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the
Company has been informed that, in the opinion of the Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is
therefore unenforceable. See "Principal Shareholders" for a listing of the
shareholders of EAA and Igenor.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
During 1995 the Company acquired a 45% interest in A&E, which
translates into a 4.5% interest in Bayesa from an affiliate of the Company,
Invdemco, a Chilean investment company. The Company has also agreed to purchase
an additional 22.5% interest in A&E from A&E shares held by Invdemco, which
translates into an additional 2.25% interest in the Bayesa Project for $141,750.
The shareholders of Invdemco are Mr. Pedro P. Errazuriz (50%), President, CEO,
and Chairman of the Board of ADC; Mr. Errazuriz' wife (45%), Berta Dominguez;
and Berta Errazuriz (5%), a daughter of Mr. Errazuriz and Mrs. Dominguez. See
"Use of Proceeds" and "Business - Strategy for Equity Participation - the Bayesa
Project." A&E, as of the date of the closing of this Offering, will own 10% of
Bayesa. Biwater, a major international company engaged in waste water treatment
and facilities, owns 90%. The purchase price for Invdemco's interest in the
Bayesa Project is based upon a valuation of the Invdemco stock prepared by an
independent consultant, Ingesis Ltd. and was based upon the projected revenues
from the Bayesa Project.
At the closing of this Offering, the Company will sell to Invdemco a
non-performing asset of the Company consisting of a house located near
Villarrica, Chile in the south of Chile, situated on approximately 13.5 acres
(the "Villarrica Property"). The Villarrica Property which is carried at a cost
of approximately $1,212,063 on the financial statements of the Company at March
31, 1996, was subject to mortgages totalling approximately $663,045. However,
the Villarrica Property is used as a guarantee for payment of certain loans
(similar to revolving or preferred line of credit or a home equity loan) and as
of the closing of this Offering, it is estimated that the outstanding mortgages
on the Villarrica Property will be approximately $700,000. See "Use of Proceeds"
and "Financial Statements." At closing, the Company will transfer title to the
Villarrica Property to Invdemco, and will satisfy the outstanding mortgages on
the property.
Invdemco will pay 50% of the purchase price of the Villarrica Property
in cash at closing with the balance being paid in four annual installments of
principal together with interest at the rate of 8-1/2% on the unpaid balance.
EAA and Igenor, the principal shareholders of the Company, also own, in
the aggregate, controlling interests in Proyectos y Equipos S.A. and
Electromecanica Osorno S.A., two Chilean corporations which specialize in the
sale of air compressors and ventilators and related products and small
electrical equipment, respectively. The Company, from time to time, may enter
into agreements with these companies to perform certain services, based upon
competitive bids received from these companies.
Mr. Pedro P. Errazuriz, the President, Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman of the Board of Directors of ADC, also owns a 57% interest in Consonni,
S.A., of Spain. Consonni manufactures and sells electronic controls and
switchgear. The Company currently is the exclusive representative of Consonni in
Chile.
All transactions between the Company and its officers, shareholders and
each of their affiliated companies have been made on terms no less favorable to
the Company than those available from unaffiliated parties. In the future, the
Company intends to handle transactions of a similar nature on terms no less
favorable to the Company than those available from unaffiliated parties.

BRIDGE FINANCING
During April 1996, the Company borrowed $65,000 from two privately-held
corporations, the proceeds of which were used to pay certain expenses of this
offering. The loan, which bears interest at the rate of 8- 1/2% per annum, will
be due at the earlier of January 15, 1997 or the effective date of this
offering. In connection with the loan, the lender will also receive warrants
(the "Bridge Warrants") to purchase 21,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock
at 1/3 of the initial offering price. While the Company has granted certain
registration rights, the lenders have agreed that the shares underlying the
warrants cannot be publicly sold until six months from the effective date of

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The Company is currently authorized to issue up to 20,000,000 shares
of Common Stock, par value $.0001, of which 2,500,100 shares were outstanding as
of March 31, 1996, after giving effect to the Reorganization, which will be
effective as of the closing of this Offering. The Company has also reserved up
to 250,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to its Stock Option Plan and
Directors Plan.
COMMON STOCK
Holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on
all matters to be voted on by the shareholders and do not have cumulative voting
rights which means that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for
the election of directors can elect all of the directors if they choose to do
so, and in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to
elect any directors. Following the Offering made hereby, the Company's
management will own or have the ability to vote 2,500,100 shares or
approximately 71% of the outstanding Common Stock without giving effect to the
exercise of the Representatives' Over-Allotment Option, the Representatives'
Purchase Warrants, the Warrants or the Bridge Warrants). The Bylaws of the
Company require that only a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of
common stock of the Company need be represented to constitute a quorum and to
transact business at a shareholders' meeting.
Holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to share, on a ratable
basis, such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds
legally available therefor. ADC has never paid dividends on its common stock
since its inception on October 19, 1994; however, both INA and E&A paid
dividends to their shareholders during 1993, 1994 and 1995 of (an aggregate of)
$835,737, $866,256 and $300,000, respectively. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Financial
Statements."
Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, after
payment of creditors and holders of any senior securities of the Company, as
applicable, the assets of the Company will be divided pro rata on a per share
basis among the holders of the shares of Common Stock. The Common Stock has no
preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no conversion rights or
redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to such shares. All
outstanding shares of common stock are, and the shares of common stock offered
hereby will be, upon completion of this Offering, fully paid and non-assessable.
WARRANTS
The Warrants will be issued in registered form pursuant to an agreement
dated the date of this Prospectus (the "Warrant Agreement"), between the Company
and American Stock Transfer and Trust Company as Warrant Agent (the "Warrant
Agent"). The following discussion of certain terms and provisions of the
Warrants is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Warrant Agreement. A
form of the certificate representing the Warrants which form a part of the
Warrant Agreement has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of
which this Prospectus forms a part.
Each of the Warrants entitles the registered holder to purchase one
share of Common Stock. The Warrants are exercisable at a price of $____ (120% of
the public offering price of the Common Stock offered hereby) (which exercise
price has been arbitrarily determined by the Company and the Representatives)
subject to certain adjustments. The Warrants are entitled to the benefit of
adjustments in their exercise prices and in the number of shares of Common Stock
or other securities deliverable upon the exercise thereof in the event of a
stock dividend, stock split, reclassification, reorganization, consolidation or
merger.
The Warrants may be exercised at any time and continuing thereafter
until the close of five years from the date hereof, unless such period is
extended by the Company. After the expiration date, Warrant holders
62
<PAGE>
shall have no further rights. Warrants may be exercised by surrendering the
certificate evidencing such Warrant, with the form of election to purchase on
the reverse side of such certificate properly completed and executed, together
with payment of the exercise price and any transfer tax, to the Warrant Agent.
If less than all of the Warrants evidenced by a warrant certificate are
exercised, a new certificate will be issued for the remaining number of
Warrants. Payment of the exercise price may be made by cash, bank draft or
official bank or certified check equal to the exercise price.
Warrant holders do not have any voting or any other rights as
shareholders of the Company. The Company has the right at any time beginning six
months from the date hereof to redeem the Warrants, at a price of $.05 per
Warrant, by written notice to the registered holders thereof, mailed not less
than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date. The
Company may exercise this right only if the closing bid price for the Common
Stock for twenty-one (21) trading days during a thirty (30) consecutive trading
day period ending no more than 15 days prior to the date that the notice of
redemption is given, equals or exceeds $____ (150% of the exercise price of the
Warrants), subject to adjustment. Any such redemption shall be for all
outstanding Warrants. If the Company exercises its right to call Warrants for
redemption, such Warrants may still be exercised until the close of business on
the day immediately preceding the Redemption Date. If any Warrant called for
redemption is not exercised by such time, it will cease to be exercisable, and
the holder thereof will be entitled only to the repurchase price. Notice of
redemption will be mailed to all holders of Warrants of record at least thirty
(30) days, but not more than sixty (60) days, before the Redemption Date. The
foregoing notwithstanding, the Company may not call the Warrants at any time
that a current registration statement under the Act is not then in effect.
The Warrant Agreement permits the Company and the Warrant Agent without
the consent of Warrant holders, to supplement or amend the Warrant Agreement in
order to cure any ambiguity, manifest error or other mistake, or to address
other matters or questions arising thereafter that the Company and the Warrant
Agent deem necessary or desirable and that do not adversely affect the interest
of any Warrant holder. The Company and the Warrant Agent may also supplement or
amend the Warrant Agreement in any other respect with the written consent of
holders of not less than a majority in the number of the Warrants then
outstanding; however no such supplement or amendment may (i) make any
modification of the terms upon which the Warrants are exercisable or may be
redeemed; or (ii) reduce the percentage interest of the holders of the Warrants
without the consent of each Warrant holder affected thereby.
In order for the holder to exercise a Warrant, there must be an
effective registration statement, with a current prospectus on file with the
Commission covering the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants, and the
issuance of such shares to the holder must be registered, qualified or exempt
under the laws of the state in which the holder resides. If required, the
Company will file a new registration statement with the Commission with respect
to the securities underlying the Warrants prior to the exercise of such Warrants
and will deliver a prospectus with respect to such securities to all holders
thereof as required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. See "Risk Factors - Necessity to Maintain Current Prospectus" and
"State Blue Sky Registration Required to Exercise Warrants."
CERTAIN FLORIDA LEGISLATION
Florida has enacted legislation that may deter or frustrate takeovers
of Florida corporations. The Florida Control Share Act generally provides that
shares acquired in excess of certain specified thresholds will not possess any
voting rights unless such voting rights are approved by a majority of a
corporation's disinterested shareholders. The provisions of the "Control Share
Act" apply to the Company. The Florida Affiliated Transactions Act generally
requires super majority approval by disinterested shareholders of certain
specified transactions between a public corporation and holders of more than 10%
of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation (or their affiliates). The
provisions of the Florida Affiliated Transactions Act do not apply to the
Company as it has opted out of the provisions of the Affiliated Transactions
Act. Florida law and the Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws also
authorize the Company to indemnify the
63
<PAGE>
Company's directors, officers, employees and agents. In addition, the Company's
Articles and Florida law presently limit the personal liability of corporate
directors for monetary damages, except where the directors (i) breach their
fiduciary duties and (ii) such breach constitutes or includes certain violations
of criminal law, a transaction from which the directors derived an improper
personal benefit, certain unlawful distributions or certain other reckless,
wanton or willful acts or misconduct.
ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE COMPANY'S ARTICLES OF
INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS
Certain provisions of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the
Company summarized in the following paragraphs will become operative upon the
closing of the Offering and may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and
may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt, including
attempts that might result in a premium being paid over the market price for the
shares held by shareholders. The following provisions may not be amended in the
Company's Articles or Bylaws without the affirmative vote of the holders of at
least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Such provisions
could: (1) result in the Company being less attractive to a potential acquiror;
(2) result in shareholders receiving less for their shares in the event of a
take-over attempt.
SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS.
The Articles and Bylaws provide that special meetings of shareholders
of the Company may be called only by a majority of the Board of Directors, the
Company's Chief Executive Officer or holders of not less than ten percent (10%)
of the Company's outstanding voting stock.
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock and Warrants is
American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 40 Wall Street, 46th Floor, New York,
NY 10005.

<PAGE>
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Upon the consummation of this Offering, the Company will have 3,500,100
shares of Common Stock outstanding (3,600,100 shares if the Representatives'
Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full but without giving effect to the
exercise of the Warrants) of which 2,500,100 shares of Common Stock outstanding
are restricted securities as such term is defined under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended.
Of the shares of Common Stock, 1,000,000 shares sold in this Offering
(1,100,000 if the Representatives Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full)
will be freely tradeable without restriction or further registration under the
Act, except for any shares purchased by an "affiliate" of the Company (in
general, a person who has a control relationship with the Company) which shares
will be subject to the resale limitations of Rule 144 under the Act. An
additional 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock have been registered (1,100,000 if
the Representatives' Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full) and reserved
for issuance upon exercise of the Warrants.
In general, Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, permits a shareholder of the Company who has beneficially owned
restricted shares of Common Stock for at least two years to sell without
registration, within a three-month period, such number of shares not exceeding
the greater of one percent of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock or,
generally, the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks
preceding the sale, assuming compliance by the Company with certain reporting
requirements of Rule 144. Furthermore, if the restricted shares of Common Stock
are held for at least three years by a person not affiliated with the Company
(in general, a person who is not an executive officer, director or principal
shareholder of the Company during the three month period prior to resale), such
restricted shares can be sold without any volume limitation. Since the Company
was not organized until October 1994, as of the date hereof none of the
Company's Common Stock currently outstanding would have been deemed held for at
least two years and will be eligible for sale upon consummation of this
Offering, subject to the volume limitations and other restrictions of Rule 144.
Any sales of shares by shareholders pursuant to Rule 144 may have a depressive
effect on the price of the Company's Common Stock.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, all of the Company's holders of Common
Stock prior to the closing of this Offering (including shareholders of E&A and
INA who will exchange their shares of INA and E&A for shares of ADC as of the
closing of this Offering) have agreed not to, directly or indirectly, offer to
sell, contract to sell, sell, transfer, assign, encumber, grant an option to
purchase or otherwise dispose of any beneficial interest in such securities for
a period of 24 months from the date hereof without the prior written consent of
the Company and the Underwriter. An appropriate legend referring to these
restrictions will be marked on the face of the certificates representing all
such securities.

CORPORATION AND LA JOLLA SECURITIES CORPORATION are serving as representatives,
have severally agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting

Warrants in the amounts set forth opposite their respective names below. The

========= =========
The Common Stock and the Warrants are being sold on a firm commitment
basis. The Underwriting Agreement provides, however, that the obligations of the
several Underwriters are subject to certain customary conditions precedent, such
as effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the accuracy of the
representations and warranties contained in the Underwriting Agreement, and the
receipt of opinions of counsel and accountants "cold comfort letters."
The Representatives have advised the Company that the Underwriters
propose initially to offer the Common Stock and the Warrants to the public at
the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus and to
certain dealers at such price less concessions of not in excess of $______ per
share of Common Stock and $______ per Warrant, of which amount a sum not in
excess of $______ and $______, respectively, may in turn be allowed by such
dealers to other dealers. After the initial public offering, the public offering
price, the concessions and the re-allowances may be changed by the
Representatives.
The Company has agreed to indemnify the Representatives against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
or to contribute to payments the Representatives may be required to make. The
Company has agreed to pay the Representatives a non-accountable expense
allowance equal to 3% of the gross proceeds of this Offering, $30,000 of which
has been paid to date.
The Company has granted to the Representatives an option exercisable
during the 45-day period from the Effective Date of the Offering to purchase
from the Company up to an additional 100,000 shares of Common Stock and 100,000
Warrants sold to cover over-allotments, at the public offering price less
underwriting discounts and the expense allowance. To the extent the
Representatives exercise such option, each Representative will have a firm
commitment, subject to certain conditions, to purchase a number of the
additional Common Stock and Warrants proportionate to such Representative's
initial commitment.
The Company has agreed that for 24 months after the effective date of
the Prospectus, if requested, it will use its best efforts to cause one
individual designated by the Representatives to be elected to the Company's
Board of Directors, which individual may be a director, officer, employee or
affiliate of the Representatives. The Representatives may designate a person to
attend meetings of the Board of Directors for 24 months after the closing of
this Offering.
In connection with this Offering, the Company has agreed to sell to the
Representatives, for nominal consideration, the Representatives' Purchase
Warrants to purchase from the Company up to 100,000 additional shares of Common
Stock and 100,000 additional Warrants. The Representatives' Purchase Warrants
are initially exercisable at an exercise price of 120% of the initial public
offering price for a period of four years, commencing one year from the
effective date of this Offering. The Representatives' Purchase Warrants
66
<PAGE>
contain provisions providing for adjustment of the exercise price and the number
and type of securities issuable upon exercise of the Representatives' Purchase
Warrants upon the occurrence of certain events. The Company has agreed, at its
expense, to register the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Representatives' Purchase Warrants one time, on demand by the Representatives,

Independent Auditors' Report
Board of Directors
Andean Development Corporation
Boca Raton, Florida
We have audited the accompanying supplemental consolidated balance sheet of
Andean Development Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and the
related supplemental consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and
cash flows for each year in the two year period ended December 31, 1995. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these supplemental consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 provided a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The supplemental consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to
the merger of Andean Development Corporation and Errazuriz y Asociados
Ingenieros, S.A. and Igenor Andina, S.A., which will be effectuated at the time
of the closing of a public offering of Andean stock, which has been accounted
for as a pooling of interests as described in Note 1 to the supplemental
consolidated financial statements. Generally accepted accounting principles
prescribe giving effect to a consummated business combination accounted for by
the pooling of interests method in financial statements that do not extend
through the date of consummation, however; they will become the historical
consolidated financial statements of Andean Development Corporation and
subsidiaries after financial statements covering the date of consummation of the
business are issued.
In our opinion, the supplemental consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Andean
Development Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period
ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles applicable after financial statements are issued for a period which
includes the date of consummation of the business combination.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION - Andean Development Corporation, (the "Company"), is a
Florida corporation incorporated on October 19, 1994. The Company is in
the business of providing engineering, technical assistance and
equipment in the development of specialized projects throughout the
country of Chile and more recently in Peru.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The accompanying supplemental consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Errazuriz y Asociados Ingenieros, S.A. and
Igenor Andina, S.A., two Chilean service corporations. In addition, the
equity method of accounting is used for the Company's 30% owned
subsidiary Inversiones Tiempo Libre, S.A. "ITL", acquired in March
1995.
The accompanying supplemental consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles and all material intercompany transactions have been
eliminated.
In November of 1995, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire
100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Errazuriz y
Asociados Ingenieros, S.A. and Ingenor Andina, S.A., in exchange for
2,500,000 shares of common stock which will be effective as of the
closing of the initial public offering of the Company's stock. (See
Note 13 for more details.) Generally accepted accounting principles
prescribe giving effect to a consummated business combination accounted
for by the pooling of interests method in financial statements that do
not include the date of consummation. Accordingly, the supplemental
consolidated financial statements for all periods presented have been
prepared assuming the acquisition by the Company took place on January
1, 1992, that the Company was incorporated on that date, and the
exchange of shares from 2,500,000 was effectuated at that time.
Had the Company presented combined historical financial statements of
the two subsidiaries only, the presentation would not materially differ
from the supplemental consolidated presentation referred to above. In
addition, these financial statements will become the historical
consolidated financial statements of the Company and subsidiaries after
financial statements covering the date of consummation of the business
combination are issued.

FUNCTIONAL CURRENCY - The financial statements have been translated in
accordance with the provisions set forth in Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 52, from Chilean pesos (the functional
currency) into US dollars (the reporting currency).
REVENUE RECOGNITION - The Company earns income in two basic ways; via
commissions associated with the sale of major equipment items and from
the performing of engineering services.
F-13
<PAGE>
ANDEAN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
In the case of equipment sales, the company earns a commission on the
sale of equipment or turn-key jobs when the contract between the
purchasing company (buyer of the equipment), is signed by both parties
or an "Order of Proceed" is issued by the buyer. At this moment all the
work of the Company has been completed and the commission has been
earned regardless of any future developments between the supplier and
the buyer. The time of payment of the commissions is determined by the
practices of the countries involved in receiving and sending monies
from and to other countries. As a result, it is not unusual for it to
take 60-180 days for the funds to be transferred.
Revenues generated from the performance of engineering services are
recognized as the services are performed over the months it takes to
complete the jobs. They are usually based on the amount of hours worked
to complete the job in each period. On occasion progressive payments
are made as a percentage of the total budget.
TIME DEPOSITS - Time deposits are recorded at the original amount plus
interest accrued at each year end.
INCOME TAXES - In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS
109"), Accounting for Income Taxes. SFAS 109 requires a change from the
deferred method of accounting for income taxes prescribed by APB
Opinion 11, to the asset and liability method of accounting for income
taxes. Under the asset and liability method of SFAS 109, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the future income tax assets
and liabilities are recognized for the future income tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Under SFAS 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes
the enactment date.
As a result of the adoption of SFAS 109, the Company provides no
deferred income taxes on its European earnings as the revenues will not
be transferred to Chile or the United States; rather such earnings be
reinvested in European operations, thereby eliminating any tax
liability.
A deferred tax asset was recognized at December 31, 1995 and for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 of $34,477 and $34,477, respectively.
Income tax expense totalled $51,780, $92,112, $70,971 and $57,128 for
the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995, and for the three months
ended March 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
FIXED ASSETS - Furniture and equipment are recorded at cost.
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line method based on the
estimated useful life of the asset.
REAL ESTATE - Property under construction is recorded at cost, which
includes the cost of acquisition of land plus costs incurred in the
construction of a house. These aggregate carrying costs do not exceed
the net realizable value (selling price less any costs of completion
and disposal) of the property under construction. The basis for this
assessment is the existing contract between Invdemco (a company owned
by Mr. Errazuriz who is Chief Executive Officer and member to the Board
of the Company) and his wife to transfer the house at closing from the
Company to Invdemco at its net book value. As the house has now been
completed, (December 1995), the Company is depreciating it on the
straight-line basis over 30 years with the quarterly depreciation
beginning in March of 1996.
STAFF SEVERANCE INDEMNITIES - The Company provides for certain lump sum
severance indemnities to its employees at the end of their employment
as required by Chilean law. The obligation is calculated based on the
present value of the vested benefits to which an employee is entitled,
the expected service lives of the employees and current salary levels.
The Company believes that the above calculation is not materially
different from the calculation required by SFAS 87, which would reflect
expected future salary increases.
CASH - Cash includes cash on hand.
FOREIGN OPERATIONS - As the Company is a holding company for two
existing Chilean companies, operating exclusively in South America, one
must be aware of the potential for both economic and political change
in the business environment, different than that of the United States.
The success of the Company depends on the success of the Chilean
operations and a stable economic and political environment. During 1995
the Company performed services for the Westinghouse Corporation in
Peru. The total revenues from this transaction as reflected in the 1995
financial statements was $312,500 of commissions. There were no other
foreign generated revenues.
EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE - Earnings per share are based on the
weighted average number of shares outstanding of 2,500,100 for each of
the three years presented giving effect to the exchange of shares with
the offering.

newly formed company, owned in part by members of Mr.
Errazuriz's family, paid the Company for all the engineering

amusement park project that will be managed by ITL. The
payment was made with 100% of ITL stock, corresponding to the
exact amount of the services billed, which totalled $666,305

quarter of 1995 increased significantly by this transaction.
During the same period, the Company sold 70% of the ITL stock
at their face value, which was their carrying value. A "Due
from sale of affiliated company stock" account was created to
record the receivable of $466,413 at March 31, 1995. The
remaining 30% investment has been accounted for using the
equity method. Under this method the original investment is
recorded at cost and is adjusted periodically to recognize the
investor's share of earnings or losses after the date of
acquisition. At December 31, 1995, the Company's share of
losses from its investment in ITL totalled $-0-.
During the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company put up for sale
the remaining 30% investment of the ITL stock. This investment
has been recorded as a current asset on the Company's
financial statements. These shares were sold during the first
quarter of 1996.
(c) The Company purchased 45% of the stock of Aguas y Ecologia,
S.A. (A&e) from a Chilean investment company which gives right
to 4.5% of the equity of Bayesa, S.A. This investment has been
accounted for using the equity method as described in
paragraph (b) of this note. At December 31, 1995, the
Company's share of profits from its investment in A&E
totalled, $6,532.
(d) During April 1996, the Company consummated loans in the amount
of $65,000. The loans bear interest at the rate of 8-1/2%
annually and will be repaid from the proceeds of the offering
of stock, (see Note 13a above), or no later than January 15,

distribution and (d) willful misconduct or conscious disregard for the best

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(a) it will file, during any period in which it offers or sells
securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
Act;
(ii) reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which,
individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the
information in the registration statement; and
(iii) include any additional or changed material information
on the plan of distribution;
(iv) for determining liability under the Act, it will treat
each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the
securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering.
(v) it will file a post-effective amendment to remove from
registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the
Offering.
(vi) it will provide to the Representatives at the Closing of
this Offering certificates in such denominations and registered in such
names as required by the Underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each
purchaser.
(b) Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Act may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
(c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(i) For determining any liability under the Act, the
information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a
form
II-4
<PAGE>
of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4)
or 497(h) under the Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration
statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(ii) For the purpose of determining any liability under the
Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide Offering thereof.

-----------------------------
1. Purpose. The purpose of this Plan is to advance the interests of the
ANDEAN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, a Florida corporation ("ADC") and each
"Subsidiary," as hereinafter defined of ADC (ADC and Subsidiary collectively
referred to as the "Company"), by providing an additional incentive to attract
and retain qualified and competent persons who are key employees of the Company,

Exchange Act shall not disqualify a Director from being a Disinterested

under the Securities Exchange Act shall not disqualify a Director from
being a Disinterested Person; and

the "Closing Price" (as defined below) of the Common Stock on the business day
immediately preceding such date, unless the Committee, in its sole discretion,
shall determine otherwise in a fair and uniform manner. For the purpose of
determining Fair Market Value, the "Closing Price" of the Common Stock on any
business day shall be (i) if the Common Stock is listed or admitted for trading
on any United States national securities exchange, or if actual transactions are
otherwise reported on a consolidated transaction reporting system, the last
reported sale price of Common Stock on such exchange or reporting system, as
reported in any newspaper of general circulation, (ii) if the Common Stock is
quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations
System ("NASDAQ"), or any similar system of automated dissemination of
quotations of securities prices in common use, the mean between the closing high
bid and low asked quotations for such day of Common Stock on such system, or
(iii) if neither clause (i) or (ii) is applicable, the mean between the high bid

identifies as an "executive officer" for purposes of reports or proxy materials
filed by the Company pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act.

classes of stock in one of the other corporations in such chain.
3. Shares and Options. The Company may grant to Optionees from time to
time Options to purchase an aggregate of up to One Hundred Seventy-five Thousand
(175,000) Shares from Shares held in the Company's treasury or from authorized
and unissued Shares. If any Option granted under the Plan shall terminate,
expire or be canceled or surrendered as to any Shares, new Options may
thereafter be granted covering such Shares. An Option granted hereunder shall be
either an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Statutory Stock Option as determined
by the Committee at the time of grant of such Option and shall clearly state
whether it is an Incentive Stock Option or Non-Statutory Stock Option. All
Incentive Stock Options shall be granted within 10 years from the effective date
of this Plan.
4. Dollar Limitation. Options otherwise qualifying as Incentive Stock
Options hereunder will not be treated as Incentive Stock Options only to the
extent that the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time the Option
is granted) of the Shares, with respect to which Options meeting the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code Section 422(b) are exercisable for the
first time by any individual during any calendar year (under all plans of the
Company), exceeds $100,000.
5. Conditions for Grant of Options.
(a) Each Option shall be evidenced by an option agreement that may
contain any term deemed necessary or desirable by the Committee, provided such
terms are not inconsistent with this Plan or any applicable law. Optionees shall
be those persons selected by the Committee from the class of all regular
employees of the Company, including employees who are also Directors or
Officers. Any person who files with the Committee, in a form satisfactory to the
Committee, a written waiver of eligibility to receive any Option under this Plan
shall not be eligible to receive any Option under this Plan for the duration of
such waiver.
(b) In granting Options, the Committee may take into consideration the
contribution the person has made to the success of the Company and such other
factors as the Committee shall determine. The Committee shall also have the
authority to consult with and receive recommendations from officers and other
personnel of the Company with regard to these matters. The Committee may, from
time to time, in granting Options under the Plan, prescribe such other terms and
conditions concerning
3
<PAGE>
such Options as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, (i)
prescribing the date or dates on which the Option becomes exercisable, (ii)
providing that the Option rights accrue or become exercisable in installments
over a period of years, or upon the attainment of stated goals or both, or (iii)
relating an Option to the continued employment of the Optionee for a specified
period of time, provided that such terms and conditions are not more favorable
to an Optionee than those expressly permitted herein.
(c) The Options granted to employees under this Plan shall be in
addition to regular salaries, pension, life insurance or other benefits related
to their employment with the Company. Neither the Plan nor any Option granted
under the Plan shall confer upon any person any right to employment or
continuance of employment by the Company.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, and in addition
to any other requirements of this Plan, Options may not be granted to a Director
or Officer unless the grant of such Options is authorized by, and all of the
terms of such Options are determined by, a Committee that is appointed in
accordance with Section 14 of this Plan and all of whose members are
Disinterested Persons.
6. Option Price. The option price per Share of any Option shall be any
price determined by the Committee but shall not be less than the par value per
Share; provided, however, that in no event shall the option price per Share of
any Incentive Stock Option be less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares
underlying such Option on the date such Option is granted.
7. Exercise of Options. An Option shall be deemed exercised when (i)
the Company has received written notice of such exercise in accordance with the
terms of the Option, (ii) full payment of the aggregate option price of the
Shares as to which the Option is exercised has been made, and (iii) arrangements
that are satisfactory to the Committee, in its sole discretion, have been made
for the Optionee's payment to the Company of the amount that is necessary for
the Company employing the Optionee to withhold in accordance with applicable
Federal or state tax withholding requirements. Unless further limited by the
Committee in any Option, the option price of any Shares purchased shall be paid
in cash, by certified or official bank check, by money order, with Shares or by
a combination of the above; provided further, however, that the Committee, in
its sole discretion, may accept a personal check in full or partial payment of
any Shares. If the exercise price is paid in whole or in part with Shares, the
value of the Shares surrendered shall be their Fair Market Value on the date the
Option is exercised. The Company, in its sole discretion, may, on an individual
basis or pursuant to a general program established by the Committee in
connection with this Plan, lend money to an Optionee to exercise all or a
portion of an Option granted hereunder. If the exercise price is paid in whole
or in part with the Optionee's promissory note, such note shall (i) provide for
full recourse to the maker, (ii) be collateralized by the pledge of the Shares
that the Optionee purchases upon exercise of such Option, (iii) bear interest at
a rate no
4
<PAGE>
less than the rate of interest payable by the Company to its principal lender,
and (iv) contain such other terms as the Committee, in its sole discretion,
shall require. No Optionee shall be deemed to be a holder of any Shares subject
to an Option unless and until a stock certificate or certificates for such
Shares are issued to such person(s) under the terms of this Plan. No adjustment
shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash,
securities or other property) or distributions or other rights for which the
record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is issued, except as
expressly provided in Section 11 hereof.
8. Exercisability of Options. Any Option shall become exercisable in
such amounts, at such intervals and upon such terms as the Committee shall
provide in such Option, except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.
(a) The expiration date of an Option shall be determined by the
Committee at the time of grant, but in no event shall an Option be exercisable
after the expiration of 10 years from the date of grant of the Option.
(b) Unless otherwise provided in any Option, each outstanding Option
shall become immediately fully exercisable:
(i) if there occurs any transaction (which shall include a
series of transactions occurring within 60 days or occurring pursuant
to a plan), that has the result that shareholders of the Company
immediately before such transaction cease to own at least 51% of the
voting stock of the Company or of any entity that results from the
participation of the Company in a reorganization, consolidation,
merger, liquidation or any other form of corporate transaction;
(ii) if the shareholders of the Company shall approve a plan
of merger, consolidation, reorganization, liquidation or dissolution in
which the Company does not survive (unless the approved merger,
consolidation, reorganization, liquidation or dissolution is
subsequently abandoned); or
(iii) if the shareholders of the Company shall approve a plan
for the sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or
substantially all the property and assets of the Company (unless such
plan is subsequently abandoned).
(c) The Committee may in its sole discretion accelerate the date on
which any Option may be exercised and may accelerate the vesting of any Shares
subject to any Option or previously acquired by the exercise of any Option.
(d) Options granted to Officers and Directors shall not be exercisable
until the expiration of a period of at least six months following the date of
grant.
9. Termination of Option Period.
5
<PAGE>
(a) The unexercised portion of any Option shall automatically and
without notice terminate and become null and void at the time of the earliest to
occur of the following:
(i) three months after the date on which the Optionee's
employment is terminated or, in the case of a Non-Statutory Stock
Option, and unless the Committee shall otherwise determine in writing,
in its sole discretion, the date on which the Optionee's employment is
terminated, in either case for any reason other than by reason of (A)
Cause, which, solely for purposes of this Plan, shall mean the
termination of the Optionee's employment by reason of the Optionee's
wilful misconduct or gross negligence, (B) a mental or physical
disability as determined by a medical doctor satisfactory to the
Committee, or (C) death;
(ii) immediately upon the termination of the Optionee's
employment for Cause;
(iii) one year after the date on which the Optionee's
employment is terminated by reason of a mental or physical disability
(within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 22(e)) as
determined by a medical doctor satisfactory to the Committee; or
(iv) (A) 12 months after the date of termination of the
Optionee's employment by reason of death of the employee, or (B) three
months after the date on which the Optionee shall die if such death
shall occur during the one-year period specified in Subsection
9(a)(iii) hereof.
(b) The Committee, in its sole discretion, may, by giving written
notice ("Cancellation Notice") cancel, effective upon the date of the
consummation of any corporate transaction described in Subsections 8(b)(ii) or
(iii) hereof, any Option that remains unexercised on such date. Such
cancellation notice shall be given a reasonable period of time prior to the
proposed date of such cancellation and may be given either before or after
approval of such corporate transaction.
10. Reload Options. The Committee may provide for the grant to any
Optionee of additional Options upon the exercise of Options ("Reload Options"),
including the exercise of Reload Options, through the delivery of Shares;
provided, however, that (i) the Reload Options may be granted only with respect
to the same number of Shares as were surrendered to exercise the Options, (ii)
the exercise price of the Reload Options will be the Fair Market Value on the
date of grant of the Reload Options, (iii) with respect to Optionees who are
subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act, the Reload Option may not be exercised after the date the Options
with respect to which such Reload Options were granted expire or terminate and
(iv) the provisions contained in this Section may not be amended more than once
every
6
<PAGE>
six months, other than to comport with changes in the Internal Revenue Code, the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or the rules
thereunder.
11. Adjustment of Shares.
(a) If at any time while the Plan is in effect or unexercised Options
are outstanding, there shall be any increase or decrease in the number of issued
and outstanding Shares through the declaration of a stock dividend or through
any recapitalization resulting in a stock split-up, combination or exchange of
Shares, then and in such event:
(i) appropriate adjustment shall be made in the maximum number
of Shares available for grant under the Plan, so that the same
percentage of the Company's issued and outstanding Shares shall
continue to be subject to being so optioned; and
(ii) appropriate adjustment shall be made in the number of
Shares and the exercise price per Share thereof then subject to any
outstanding Option, so that the same percentage of the Company's issued
and outstanding Shares shall remain subject to purchase at the same
aggregate price.
(b) Subject to the specific terms of any Option, the Committee may
change the terms of Options outstanding under this Plan, with respect to the
option price or the number of Shares subject to the Options, or both, when, in
the Committee's sole discretion, such adjustments become appropriate by reason
of a corporate transaction described in Subsections 8(b)(ii) or (iii) hereof.
(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the issuance by the
Company of shares of its capital stock of any class, or securities convertible
into shares of capital stock of any class, either in connection with direct sale
or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon
conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares
or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall
be made with respect to the number of or exercise price of Shares then subject
to outstanding Options granted under the Plan.

adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the
Company's capital structure or its business; (ii) any merger or consolidation of
the Company; (iii) any issue by the Company of debt securities, or preferred or

7

Option shall not be transferable by the Optionee otherwise than by will or the
laws of descent and distribution, and each Option shall be exercisable during
the Optionee's lifetime only by the Optionee.
13. Issuance of Shares. As a condition of any sale or issuance of

compliance with any such law or regulation including, but not limited to, the
following:
(i) a representation and warranty by the Optionee to the
Company, at the time any Option is exercised, that he is acquiring the
Shares to be issued to him for investment and not with a view to, or
for sale in connection with, the distribution of any such Shares; and
(ii) a representation, warranty and/or agreement to be bound
by any legends that are, in the opinion of the Committee, necessary or
appropriate to comply with the provisions of any securities law deemed
by the Committee to be applicable to the issuance of the Shares and are
endorsed upon the Share certificates.
14. Administration of the Plan.
(a) The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which shall
consist of not less than two Directors, each of whom shall be Disinterested
Persons to the extent required by Section 5(d) hereof. The Committee shall have

Options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. If any provision of the
Plan should be held invalid for the granting of Incentive Stock Options or

either party in the event the Contract prohibits payment of compensation to a
