PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
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
non-turnkey 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."
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
3
<PAGE>
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., 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 intends 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. The Company, pending completion of its research and due
diligence, intends to enter into formal negotiations in other ecology-oriented
and electrical utility projects in Chile, leading to formal agreements.

<PAGE>
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 1900 Glades Road, Boca Raton, Florida, U.S.A. and its
telephone number is (561) 416-8930.
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."

<PAGE>
The services offered by E&A include, but are not limited to:
1. /bullet/ Forecasting of market trends
/bullet/ Market research
/bullet Financing (expertise in local and foreign loans)
/bullet/ Packaging with other manufacturers
/bullet/ Knowledge of the decision making procedures and the
scheduling of projects
2. /bullet/ Local engineering support (by the Company's employees or
through subcontractors)
/bullet/ Procurement of local materials and products
/bullet/ Construction and plant erection capabilities
/bullet/ Project managing capabilities
/bullet/ 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 intends to 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.
6
<PAGE>
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 Projects" for an overview of the
types of services for which INA intends to 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".

<PAGE>
With a portion of the proceeds of this Offering, the Company will seek
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
8
<PAGE>
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
9
<PAGE>
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, as its
representative, 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 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 in a consultant capacity on projects in Argentina.
10
<PAGE>
1995 PROJECTS
During 1995, the Company was involved, in a consultant or
representative capacity, 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, in their representative capacity, successfully represented
a joint venture on behalf 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.
11
<PAGE>
1996 PROJECTS
During 1996 the Company has identified and has submitted bids or
intends to submit additional bids on behalf of various foreign manufacturers
and/or consortiums. No assurance can be given, however, that the Company and the
companies it represents will be awarded any bids. The various projects are
listed below:
CHILQUINTA S.A. (TINQUIRIICA AND SAN JOSE PROJECTS)
Chilquinta S.A., an electric utility, is developing plans to build two
98MW and one 12MW hydroelectric power plants. The Company has been consulted by
potential investors from the U.S. who intend to develop a strategy and conduct
negotiations with Chilquinta regarding a joint venture relative to these
projects.
ANDRADE GUTIERREZ S.A. (CORTADERAL/ALTO PROJECT)
Andrade Gutierrez S.A. is developing a 400MW hydropower plant which is
currently in the pre-construction stage. The Company represented Kvaener Energy
A.S. for the sale of four (4) turbine generator sets and other relevant
equipment estimated to be $60,000,000 to $70,000,000. The project was awarded to
this group during September, 1996. A contract was signed during September, 1996.
COLBUN S.A. (LIMACHE COMBINED CYCLE POWER PLANT)
Colbun S.A. is building a combined cycle 350MW plant. The Company
represents Siemens Corp. in this bid of $140,000,000. Siemens Corp. was awarded
the bid by Colbun S.A. on May 8, 1996.
HACIENDA SAN LORENZO S.A. (MAMPIL Y PEUCHEN POWER PLANT)
Elecnor S.A., along with Iberdrola (Spain), have been awarded the bid
for the construction, operation and partial ownership of a group of small power
plants in the south of Chile. The Company has been invited to submit bids on
behalf of Kvaerner Turbin A.B., Siemens, and Ateliers Mecaniques de Vevey S.A.
for the equipment to be used in connection with the power houses. During
October, the electrical side of the project was assigned to Siemens and the
contract is pending the successful completion of contractual negotiations.
CEMENTO MELON S.A. (PUERTO VENTANAS CEMENT HANDLING PROJECT)
12
<PAGE>
The Company successfully acted as a representative of General Electric
Engineering Services in this bid, which was awarded to General Electric during
1995. In addition, during 1996, the Company, as consultant, will provide local
project coordination and will continue to do so through completion of the
project which is estimated to be April 1997. ]
CENTRAL PUERTO S.A. (BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA)
Chilgener S.A. is the majority owner of Central Puerto S.A. Chilgener,
S.A. requested bids for the supply of a 350MW, gas-fired combined cycle
powerstation estimated to have a value of approximately $150 million. Siemens
requested the Company to be their representative for the presentation of this
bid. The bid was submitted on June 30, 1996 and the estimated date of award is
November 1997.
CENTRAL COSTANERA S.A. (BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA)
This company, a subsidiary of Endesa S.A. of Chile, has called for bids
to be submitted by August 30, 1996 for equipment similar to that of Central
Puerto. The Company represents Mitsubishi Corporation in this matter. Mitsubishi
Corporation has been awarded this job.
PUERTO PATACHE CONCENTRATE AND COAL HANDLING SYSTEM
Endesa is currently constructing a thermo-electrical plant to supply
energy to the Collahuasi Copper Mine. A port for unloading coal for the
thermo-electrical plant is going to be built and will be equipped with a coal
unloading crane, conveyor belts and a solid/liquid separation plan to treat the
concentrate. The project value is estimated to be $8 million. The Company has
successfully participated in the tender for a turnkey project representing
Babcock Wilcox of Spain ("BWE"). BWE was awarded this tender during October,
1996.

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 require 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
sub-contract 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.
21
<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 using a portion of the proceeds ($141,750) the Company
has acquired A&E shares from Invdemco for an additional 22.5% interest in A&E,
which translates 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.
22
<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 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
23
<PAGE>
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 intends to 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 will 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.
24
<PAGE>
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.
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
25
<PAGE>
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.

(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:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.

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
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.
34
<PAGE>
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.

different entities having an ownership interest in E&A and in INA, a condition
for Chilean corporations, which requires that a corporation have at least two
different shareholders at any given time.
ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED 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 purchased 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
36
<PAGE>
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. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company has not entered
into any agreements with respect to acquiring equity interests on projects other
than the Bayesa Project. The Company, pending completion of its research and due
diligence, intends to enter into formal negotiations in other ecology-oriented
and electrical utility projects in Chile, leading to formal agreements.
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. Subsequent to the
offering, the Company paid the outstanding mortgage on the property ($765,000)
and received a Promissory Note in the amount of $606,031 for tha balance of the
property carrying value. See "Use of Proceeds" and "Financial Statements."
Invdemco will pay $606,031.50, (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, intends to
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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors
and Shareholders of
Andean Development Corporation
Boca Raton, Florida
We have audited the accompanying supplemental consolidated balance sheets of
Andean Development Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995
and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash
flows for each year in the two year period then ended. 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 provide 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
proscribe 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 consolidated financial
position of Andean Development Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31,
1996 and 1995 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1996 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 and Argentina.
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 and Andean
Engineering and Finance Company, a Boca Raton Management Company. In
addition, the equity method of accounting is used for the Company's
67.5% owned subsidiary, Aguas y Ecologia, S.A. (A&E). The Company's
proportionate share of income or loss is not included in the
accompanying statement of income as the financial statements are
unavailable and impracticable to produce at this time. Once finalized,
the financial statements of A&E are not expected to have a material
impact on these supplemental consolidated financial statements.
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 October of 1996, 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
1,500,000 shares of common stock which was effective as of the closing
of the initial public offering of the Company's stock. 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 1,500,000
was effectuated at that time.
Had the Company presented combined historical financial statements of
the three 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 revenue principally from
commissions associated with the sale of major equipment items and
the performance of engineering services.
F-10

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 s
ale 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 the Company is paid commissions is determined by
the practices of the countries involved. As a result, it is not unusual
for it to take 60 to 180 days for the funds to be transferred.
Revenues associated with engineering services are recognized as
services when performed based on standard billing rates.
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK - Financial instruments which potentially
subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist
principally of periodic temporary investments of excess cash and trade
receivables. A significant portion of the Company's sales are to
several large customers and, as such, the Company is directly affected
by the well-being of those customers. However, the credit risk
associated with trade receivables is minimal due to the Company's
customer base and ongoing control procedures which monitor the credit
worthiness of customers. Historically, the Company has not experienced
losses on trade receivables. During 1996, approximately 50% of the
Company's consolidated accounts receivable was attributable to one
customer.
INCOME TAXES - Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for
the future income tax consequences attributable to the 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. 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. During 1995, the Company
performed consulting services for European companies which resulted in
income received by the Company in Europe. Income from European
operations was $612,669 in 1995. The make-up by country was $399,068,
$203,601 and $10,000, in Germany, England and Norway, respectively, in
1995. No consulting services have been performed for European companies
in 1996. Additionally, 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 will be reinvested in
European operations, thereby eliminating any deferred tax liability.
A deferred tax asset was recognized at December 31, 1996 and 1995 for
$10,090 and $34,477, respectively. Income tax expense totalled $151,215
and $50,636 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT - Furniture and equipment are recorded at cost.
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line method based on the
estimated useful lives of the assets, usually five years.
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.
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 common share are based on the
weighted average number of shares outstanding of 1,656,859 and
1,500,100 for the two years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, after giving effect to common stock equivalents which
consist of warrants issued with the initial public offering that would
have a dilutive effect on earnings per share. Warrants issued with
exercise prices greater than the existing market value of the company
stock are deemed anti-dilutive and are not components of earnings per
share.
RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS - In October 1995, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which established a
fair value based method of accounting for those stock-based
compensation plans and requires additional disclosures for those
companies who elect not to adopt the new method of accounting. In its
adoption of FASB 123, the Company has decided to retain the existing
measurement values as prescribed under APB 25 and would provide
additional proforma disclosure if and when options are granted.

RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS - Continued
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed of," which requires the Company to review for impairment of
long-lived assets and certain identifiable assets whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
might not be recoverable. In certain situations, an impairment loss
would be recognized. As a result, the Company has adopted FASB 121
effective January 1, 1996. The Company has studied the implications of
FASB 121 and, based on its evaluation, has determined that its adoption
does not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or
results of operations. At December 31, 1996, there were no impairments.
ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent asset and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
NOTE 2 - INVESTED CASH
Invested cash consists of time deposits totalling $442,107 and $18,361
at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, invested in local Chilean
banks with maturity dates ranging from three months to one year. These
investments earn an annual rate of interest ranging from 1.44% to
3.60%. In addition, the Company has invested $3,156,653 in money market
accounts in a United States bank. The account earned interest at an
annual rate of 2.5% to 3.0% during 1996.
NOTE 3 - OTHER CURRENT ASSETS
Other current assets, at December 31, consist of the following:

NOTE 5 - REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS (Continued)
Payment terms were 50% in cash at the closing which was held on
December 31, 1996, and the balance of $606,031 in four annual
installments with interest at 8-1/2% per year beginning January 15,
1998. This receivable is a component of note receivable from related
party on the balance sheet.
Initially, the agreement to sell the property in Villarrica required
the transfer of five lots including a home to Inversiones y Desarrollo
Demco. Upon the final transfer of the lots, management decided that
since two of the lots were situated a large distance from the house,
and directly next to the land being held by the Company, not to include
the two lots in the sale. This resulted in a realized gain to the
Company during 1996 in the amount of $255,792. The remaining two lots
are now components of undeveloped real estate in the accompanying
balance sheet.
NOTE 6 - UNDEVELOPED REAL ESTATE - HELD FOR INVESTMENT

Chile, which was acquired for resale after being developed in a resort
area and is being used in the meantime as a guarantee for some of the

NOTE 14 - INVESTMENTS IN SUBSIDIARIES
In March of 1995, Inversiones Tiempo Libre, S.A., (ITL), a newly formed
company, owned in part by members of Mr. Errazuriz's family, paid the
Company for all the engineering and research costs incurred by the
latter to develop the 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 at March
31, 1995. The Company's revenues for the first 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. 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 an
asset on the Company's financial statements. These shares were sold to
members of Mr. Errazuriz's family during the first quarter of 1996 at
their book value of $193,359. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the
Company recognized no profit from its investment in ITL.
During 1995, the Company purchased 45% of the stock of Aguas y
Ecologia, S.A. (A&E) which owns 10% of the stock in Bayesa, S.A. from a
Chilean investment company. This equates to a 4.5% ownership of Bayesa,
S.A. During the later part of 1996, the Company acquired an additional
22.5% of A&E or 2.25% of Bayesa, S.A. Financial statements of A&E as
prepared in accordance with GAAP are unavailable and impracticable to
produce at this time. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company's
share of profits from its investment in A&E totalled $-0- and $6,532.
