PDG ENVIRONMENTAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AND FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2008
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include PDG Environmental, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Corporation” or “Company”).
The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2008 and 2007, are unaudited and are presented pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended January 31, 2008. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which are of a recurring nature) necessary for the fair statement of the results for the interim periods.
Due to variations in the environmental and specialty contracting industry, the results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year.
NOTE 2 — CONTRACTS RECEIVABLE
At October 31, 2008 and January 31, 2008, contract receivables consist of the following:
                 
    October 31, 2008     January 31, 2008  
Billed Completed Contracts
  $ 4,910,000     $ 6,026,000  
Contracts in Progress
    26,554,000       18,091,000  
 
           
 
               
 
    31,464,000       24,117,000  
 
               
Less Allowance for Contracts Receivable
    (1,755,000 )     (1,286,000 )
 
           
 
               
Net Contracts Receivables
  $ 29.709,000     $ 22,831,000  
 
           
At October 31, 2008 and January 31, 2008, contracts receivable for billed completed contracts of $4.9 million and $6.0 million, respectively, is based on full completion of the project. The remaining $26.6 million and $18.1 million of contracts receivable at October 31, 2008 and January 31, 2008, respectively, is related to ongoing projects. Allowance for contracts receivable at October 31, 2008, include a $1.1 million reserve for uncollectible accounts and a $0.7 million valuation reserve for estimated discounts. All of the $1.3 million of allowance for contracts receivable at January 31, 2008, is for uncollectible accounts.
Contracts receivable at October 31, 2008 and January 31, 2008, include $2.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively, of retainage receivables. At October 31, 2008 and January 31, 2008, a portion of the receivable balance, $0.7 million, has been classified as non-current because the Corporation does not anticipate realizing the amount within the normal operating cycle.
At October 31, 2008, the Corporation had approximately $8.4 million of costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts. Included in this amount is approximately $4.2 million of costs related to contract claims and unapproved change orders. Of the $31.5 million in contracts receivable, approximately $2.2 million of contracts receivable represent disputed or litigated items. The Corporation expects to process change orders or pursue contract claims for at least the full amount of these costs relative to the aforementioned contracts.
NOTE 3 — INCOME TAXES
A deferred tax benefit of $391,000, a current state income tax benefit of $40,000, and no current federal income tax provision was recorded for the nine months ended October 31, 2008. A deferred tax benefit of $177,000, a current state income tax provision of $209,000, and no current federal income tax provision was recorded for the nine months ended October 31, 2007.
At October 31, 2008, the Corporation has approximately $4.9 million of net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes expiring in 2028 and approximately $500,000 of federal credit carryforwards, primarily Research and Development Tax Credits, expiring from 2022 to 2028.
Income taxes paid by the Corporation for the nine months ended October 31, 2008 and 2007 totaled approximately $209,000 and $58,000, respectively.

NOTE 4 — TERM DEBT
The Corporation maintains a $16.5 million line of credit with Huntington Bank (formerly Sky Bank). The current interest rate on the line of credit is prime plus 1.5%.
On October 31, 2008, the balance on the line of credit was $15.6 million with an unused availability, based upon the asset based lending formula, of $0.9 million. The majority of the Corporation’s property and equipment are pledged as security for the above obligations. Effective September 2, 2008, the Company and Huntington Bank amended the line of credit facility which resulted in an extension of the maturity date from June 6, 2009 to June 30, 2010. Effective October 17, 2008, the Company and Huntington Bank amended the line of credit facility which resulted in a temporary increase the amount of the credit line from $15.0 million to $16.5 million through February 27, 2009.
On October 31, 2008, the Company was not in compliance with the debt to worth financial covenant of the line of credit agreement. The Company obtained a waiver from Huntington Bank waiving this financial covenant as of October 31, 2008.
The Corporation paid interest costs totaling approximately $636,000 and $877,000 during the nine months ended October 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
The Corporation’s mortgage on its Pittsburgh operating location is at an interest rate of 7.75% fixed until July 31, 2009, and is then adjusted to 2.75% above the 3-year Treasury Index every three years. On October 31, 2008, the balance on the mortgage was $234,000.

The conversion of the Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock was also not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as its inclusion would have been antidilutive.
For the three months ended October 31, 2007, diluted loss per share was the same as basic loss per share since the Company reported a net loss and therefore the effect of all potentially dilutive securities on the loss per share would have been antidilutive.

NOTE 7 — PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF SECURITIES — JULY 2005
Common Private Placement
Securities Purchase Agreement
On July 1, 2005, the Corporation executed a securities purchase agreement (the “Common Purchase Agreement”) with various institutional and accredited investors (the “Common Investors”) pursuant to which it agreed to sell in a private placement transaction (the “Common Private Placement”) for an aggregate purchase price of $1,500,000 (a) 1,666,667 shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock, par value $0.02 per share (the “Common Stock”), (b) warrants to purchase 416,667 shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.11 per share (“First Common Offering Warrants”) and (c) warrants to purchase 416,667 shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.33 per share (“Second Common Offering Warrants” and, together with the First Common Offering Warrants, the “Common Offering Warrants”). The $0.90 purchase price per share for the Common Stock represents approximately represents 80% of the average of the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for the 20 day period prior to the execution of the Common Purchase Agreement. The Corporation closed the Common Private Placement on July 6, 2005. On November 21, 2005, the Corporation’s registration statement covering the common stock to be received upon the conversion of the preferred stock and the common stock to be received upon the exercise of the warrants for common stock was declared effective by the SEC.
Common Warrants
The First Common Offering Warrants issued to each Common Investor provide such Common Investor the right to purchase shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock, in aggregate, up to an additional 25% of the total number of Common Shares purchased by such Common Investor in the Common Private Placement at an exercise price of $1.11 per share. The First Common Offering Warrants contain a cashless exercise provision, whereby if at any time after one year from the date of issuance of the Warrant there is no effective Registration Statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the shares subject to the Warrant (“Warrant Shares”) by the Warrant Holder, then the Warrant may also be exercised at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Warrant Holder shall be entitled to receive common shares for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the appreciation in the warrant above the exercise price at the time of the exercise. The First Common Offering Warrants expire five years from the date of issuance and contain adjustment provisions upon the occurrence of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, reclassifications or similar events of the Corporation’s capital stock, issuances of the Corporation’s securities for consideration below the exercise price and pro rata distributions of cash, property, assets or securities to holders of the Corporation’s Common Stock.

If the Second Common Offering Warrants are exercised in full in cash, the Corporation would receive upon such exercise aggregate proceeds of $554,167.
The net proceeds to the Corporation from the offering, after costs associated with the Common Stock portion of the offering, of $1,349,000 have been allocated among common stock and warrants based upon their relative fair values. The Corporation used the Black-Scholes pricing model to determine the fair value of the warrants to be $360,000.
Preferred Private Placement
Securities Purchase Agreement
On July 1, 2005, the Corporation executed a securities purchase agreement (“Preferred Purchase Agreement”) with various institutional and accredited investors (the “Preferred Investors”) pursuant to which it agreed to sell in a private placement transaction (the “Preferred Private Placement”) for an aggregate purchase price of $5,500,000 (a) 5,500 shares of the Corporation’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, stated value $1,000 per share (the “Preferred Shares”), (b) warrants to purchase 1,375,000 shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.11 per share (“First Preferred Offering Warrants”), (c) warrants to purchase 1,375,000 shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.33 per share (“Second Preferred Offering Warrants” and, together with the First Preferred Offering Warrants,” the “Preferred Offering Warrants”) and (d) warrants (“Over-Allotment Warrants”) to purchase (1) up to 1,375 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Additional Preferred Shares”), (2) warrants to purchase up to 343,750 shares of Common Stock at $1.11 per share (“First Additional Warrants”) and (3) warrants to purchase up to 343,750 shares of Common Stock at $1.33 per share (“Second Additional Warrants” and, together with the First Additional Warrants, the “Additional Warrants”). The Preferred Private Placement closed on July 6, 2005.
On September 30, 2005, the Corporation’s shareholders approved to the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase by 30 million the number of authorized shares of $0.02 par value common stock to a total of 60 million common shares. Subject to certain permitted issuances under the Preferred Purchase Agreement, the Corporation is also restricted from issuing additional securities for a period of six (6) months following the effective date of the Preferred Registration Statement without the prior written consent from the holders of the Preferred Shares.
All shares of the Series C Preferred Stock shall rank superior to the Corporation’s Common Stock and any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter creates.
Preferred Warrants
The First Preferred Offering Warrants issued to each Preferred Investor provide such Preferred Investor the right to purchase shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock, in aggregate, up to an additional 25% of the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock purchased by such Preferred Investor in the Preferred Private Placement at an exercise price of $1.11 per share. The First Preferred Offering Warrants contain a cashless exercise provision, whereby at any time the Warrant may also be exercised at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Warrant Holder shall be entitled to receive common shares for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the appreciation in the warrant above the exercise price at the time of the exercise. The First Preferred Offering Warrants expire five years from the date of issuance and contain adjustment provisions upon the occurrence of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, reclassifications or similar events of the Corporation’s capital stock, issuances of Common Stock for consideration below the exercise price and pro rata distributions of cash, property, assets or securities to holders of the Corporation’s common stock.

The Second Preferred Offering Warrants contain a cashless exercise provision, whereby at any time the Warrant may also be exercised at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Warrant Holder shall be entitled to receive common shares for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the appreciation in the warrant above the exercise price at the time of the exercise. The Second Preferred Offering Warrants expire five years from the date of issuance and contain adjustment provisions upon the occurrence of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, reclassifications or similar events of the Corporation’s capital stock, issuances of the Corporation’s securities for consideration below the exercise price as well as pro rata distributions of cash, property, assets or securities to holders of the Corporation’s common stock. If the Second Preferred Offering Warrants are exercised in full in cash, the Corporation would receive upon such exercise aggregate proceeds of $1,828,750.

The net proceeds to the Corporation from the offering, after costs associated with the Preferred Stock portion of the offering, of $4,877,000 have been allocated among common stock and warrants based upon their relative fair values. The Corporation used the Black-Scholes pricing model to determine the fair value of the warrants to be $1,204,000.
Terms of the Preferred Stock
The rights and preferences of the Preferred Shares are set forth in the Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”). The Preferred Shares have a face value of $1,000 per share and are convertible at any time at the option of the holder into shares of Common Stock (“Conversion Shares”) at the initial conversion price of $1.00 per share (the “Conversion Price”), subject to certain adjustments including (a) stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, sales or transfers of the assets of the Corporation, share exchanges or other similar events, (b) certain anti-dilution adjustments. For a complete description of the terms of the Preferred Shares please see the Certificate of Designation.
Outstanding shares of preferred stock that have not been converted to common stock at the maturity date of July 1, 2009 are payable in cash along with the related 8% per annum dividend. Thus, the preferred shares and the related amounts for accrued dividends have been classified in current liabilities as of July 31, 2008. The availability of resources to make the payments due on July 1, 2009, will depend on the Corporation’s cash flow and its ability to secure additional financing. The company does not currently have adequate resources or access to committed funds that will enable it to satisfy the redemption obligation. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time. In the event the Company is unable to satisfy the redemption obligation, the holder of the preferred stock could take certain actions that could materially and adversely affect the ability of the Company to continue its operations in the ordinary course of business. In addition, such actions may cause an event of default under our credit facility and there is no assurance that the Corporation will be successful in replacing the existing debt at favorable terms or on terms acceptable to the Corporation if at all. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Corporation be unable to operate in the ordinary course of business.
Beginning 120 days following effectiveness of the registration statement, the Corporation may mandatorily convert the Preferred Shares into shares of Common Stock, if certain conditions are satisfied including, among other things: (a) if the average closing bid price of the Corporation’s Common Stock during any 20 consecutive trading day period is greater than 150% of the conversion price, (b) the Preferred Registration Statement is currently effective, (c) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issued upon such mandatory conversion does not exceed 100% of the total 5 day trading volume of our Common Stock for the 5 trading day period preceding the mandatory conversion date and (d) no mandatory conversions have occurred in the previous 30 trading days.
The Corporation consulted FAS No. 150 “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”, FAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and EITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Corporation’s Own Stock” in accounting for the transaction. The preferred stock has been recorded as a liability after consulting FAS No. 150. Although the preferred includes conversion provisions, they were deemed to be non-substantive at the issuance date. Subsequent to the issuance, the Corporation’s stock price rose in part to Hurricane Katrina and the acquisition of the former Flagship operations, and a number of preferred shares were converted to common. Per FAS No. 150, there is to be no reassessment of the non-substantive feature.
After valuing the warrants for the purchase of the Corporation’s common stock issued with the convertible Preferred Shares ($1,204,000), the beneficial conversion contained in the Preferred Shares ($1,645,000) and the costs associated with the Preferred Stock portion of the financing ($623,000) the convertible preferred stock was valued at $2,028,000. The difference between this initial value and the face value of the Preferred Stock of $3,429,000 will be accreted back to the Preferred Stock as preferred dividends utilizing an effective interest rate of 25.2%. The accretion period is the shorter of the four-year term of the preferred or until the conversion of the preferred stock. For the three months ended October 31, 2008 and 2007, the accretion of the aforementioned discount was $156,000 and $123,000, respectively. For the nine months ended October 31, 2008 and 2007, the accretion of the aforementioned discount was $441,000 and $344,000, respectively. In accordance with FAS 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity,” the accretion of the discount on the preferred stock is classified as interest expense in the Statement of Consolidated Operations.
A cumulative premium (dividend) accrues and is payable with respect to each of the Preferred Shares equal to 8% of the stated value per annum. The premium is payable upon the earlier of: (a) the time of conversion in such number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the accrued premium by the Conversion Price or (b) the time of redemption in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds. For the three months ended October 31, 2008 and 2007, the accrued dividend was $76,000 and $76,000, respectively, for both the

initial private placement in July 2005 and the subsequent exercise of the over-allotment option for additional shares of Preferred Stock. For the nine months ended October 31, 2008 and 2007, the accrued dividend was $228,000 and $228,000, respectively. At October 31, 2008 and 2007, total accrued dividends were $996,000 and $691,000, respectively. In accordance with FAS 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity,” the preferred stock dividend is classified as interest expense in the Statement of Consolidated Operations.
Over-Allotment Warrants
The Over-Allotment Warrants issued to each Preferred Investor provides such Preferred Investor the right to purchase at an exercise price of $1,000 per share (a) Additional Preferred Shares, in aggregate, up to 25% of the total number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock purchased by such Preferred Investor in the Preferred Private Placement, (b) First Additional Warrants exercisable for a number of shares of Common Stock in an amount, in aggregate, up to 6.25% of the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock purchased by such Preferred Investor in the Preferred Private Placement at an exercise price of $1.11 per share and (c) Second Additional Warrants exercisable for a number of shares of Common Stock in an amount, in aggregate, up to 6.25% of the total number of shares of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred purchased by such Purchaser in the Preferred Private Placement at an exercise price of $1.33 per share.
From late October 2005 through mid December 2005, all holders of shares of our Series C Preferred exercised their over-allotment warrants resulting in the issuance of (i) 1,375 shares of Series C Preferred, (ii) warrants to purchase 343,750 shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.11 per shares and (iii) warrants to purchase 343,750 shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.33 per share. The warrants expire five years from the date of issuance. The exercise of the over-allotment warrants resulted in proceeds of $1,375,000 to the Corporation.
After valuing the warrants for the purchase of the Corporation’s common stock issued with the convertible Preferred Shares ($322,000), the beneficial conversion contained in the Preferred Shares ($432,000) and the costs associated with the exercise of the over-allotment ($69,000) the convertible preferred stock, issued in October 2005 from the exercise of the over-allotment option, will initially be valued at $552,000. The difference between this initial value and the face value of the Preferred Stock of $1,375,000 will be accreted back to the Preferred Stock as preferred dividends utilizing an effective interest rate of 25%. The accretion of the discount related to the over-allotment option was $39,000 and $30,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and was classified as interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The accretion of the discount related to the over-allotment option was $110,000 and $86,000 for the nine months ended October 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively
Registration Rights Agreements
In connection with the private placements in July 2005, the Corporation entered into registration rights agreements with the Common Stockholders and Preferred Stockholders. Under these registration rights agreements, the Corporation agreed to file a registration statement for the purpose of registering the resale of the common stock and the shares of common stock underlying the convertible securities we issued in the private placements. The registration rights agreements require the Corporation to keep the registration statement effective for a specified period of time. In the event that the registration statement is not filed or declared effective within the specified deadlines or is not effective for any period exceeding a permitted Black-Out Period (45 consecutive Trading Days but no more than an aggregate of 75 Trading Days during any 12-month period), then the Corporation will be obligated to pay the Preferred and Common Stockholders up to 12% of their purchase price per annum. On November 21, 2005 the Corporation’s Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC. As of October 31, 2008 the Corporation has utilized forty-five of the permitted aggregate Black-Out days. Other than the aforementioned monetary penalty, there are no provisions requiring cash payments or settlements if registered shares cannot be provided upon conversion / exercise or the shareholders cannot sell their shares due to a blackout event.
Warrant Derivative Liability
Both the preferred and Common Stock portions of the July 2005 private placement included registration rights agreements that imposed liquidating damages in the form of a monetary remuneration should the holders be subject to blackout days (i.e. days when the holders of the Corporation’s Common Stock may not trade the stock) in excess of the number permitted in the registration rights agreements. On November 21, 2005 the Corporation’s Registration Statement on Form S-2 was declared effective by the SEC. Other than the aforementioned monetary penalty, there are no provisions requiring cash payments or settlements if registered shares cannot be provided upon conversion / exercise or the shareholders cannot sell their shares due to a blackout event. After assessing the provisions of the registration rights agreements and the related authoritative guidance a $20,000 warrant derivative liability was provided. No gain or loss on the derivative was recorded in the nine months ended October 31, 2008 and 2007 and the liability was recorded in accrued liabilities.

NOTE 8 — GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
At October 31, 2008 and January 31, 2008, the Corporation’s goodwill was $2,489,000 and $2,614,000, respectively.
At October 31, 2008 and January 31, 2008, the Corporation’s intangible assets, net of amortization expense, were $4,235,000 and $4,718,000, respectively. For the three months ended October 31, 2008 and 2007, amortization expense of the intangible assets was $194,000 and $194,000, respectively. For the nine months ended October 31, 2008 and 2007, amortization expense of the intangible assets was $577,000 and $579,000, respectively.
SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” prescribes a two-phase process for impairment testing of goodwill, which is performed annually, absent any indicators of impairment. The first phase screens for impairment, while the second phase (if necessary) measures impairment. The Corporation has elected to perform its annual analysis during the fourth quarter of each year based upon goodwill balances as of the end of the year. Although no indicators of impairment have been identified during the nine months ended October 31, 2008, there can be no assurance that future goodwill impairment tests will not result in a charge to earnings.
NOTE 9 — NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities and expands required information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS No. 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. Implementation of SFAS No. 157 is required for the fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The standard, which was adopted effective February 1, 2008, did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Post Retirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R). SFAS No. 158 requires an employer that sponsors one or more single-employer defined benefit plans to recognize the over-funded or under-funded status of a benefit plan in its statement of financial position, recognize as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax, gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise during the period but are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit costs pursuant to SFAS No. 87, Employers Accounting for Pension, or SFAS No. 106, Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions, measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end, and disclose in the notes to financial statements additional information about certain effects on net periodic benefit cost for the next fiscal year that arise from delayed recognition of the gains or losses, prior service costs or credits, and transition assets or obligations. The recognition and disclosure provisions required by SFAS No. 158 are effective for the Corporation’s fiscal year ending January 31, 2007. The measurement date provisions are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The standard, which was adopted effective February 1, 2008, did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, which permits entities to choose fair value measurement for many financial instruments and certain other items as of specified election dates. Business entities will thereafter report in earnings the unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been chosen. The fair value option may be applied instrument by instrument, may not be applied to portions of instruments and is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs. SFAS No. 159 is effective for an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. The standard, which was adopted effective February 1, 2008, did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations, which will change accounting guidance for business combinations. Under SFAS No. 141R, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at their estimated acquisition date fair values, including noncontrolling interests, accrued contingent liabilities and in-process research and development. Acquired contingent liabilities will subsequently be measured at the higher of the acquisition date fair value or the amount determined under existing guidance for non-acquired contingencies. SFAS No. 141R also provides that acquisition costs will be expenses as incurred, restructuring costs associated with a business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date, and that changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. SFAS No. 141R is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year after December 15, 2008, and will be applied prospectively for business combinations occurring on or after the date of adoption. Early adoption of SFAS No. 141R is prohibited. The Corporation expects to adopt SFAS No. 141R on February 1, 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, which establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest (minority interest) in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 requires recognition of a noncontrolling interest as equity in the consolidated financial statements separate from the parent’s equity. Net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest is to be included in consolidated net income on the consolidated income statement. SFAS No. 160 also clarifies that changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest. SFAS No. 160 requires that a gain or loss be recognized in net income upon deconsolidation of a subsidiary based on the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS No. 160 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year after December 15, 2008. The adoption of the standard, effective February 1, 2009, is not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

OVERVIEW
We provide environmental and specialty contracting services including asbestos and lead abatement, microbial remediation, disaster response, loss mitigation and reconstruction, demolition and related services throughout the United States. During the nine months ended October 31, 2008, revenues from disaster response, loss mitigation and reconstruction were 45.7% of total revenues vs. 54.3% of revenues from abatement of asbestos. The Company has broadened its offering of services in recent years to include a number of complementary services which utilize its existing infrastructure and personnel. Cash flows from contracting services are primarily generated from periodic progress billings on large contracts under which the Corporation performs services and single project billings on small short duration projects.
The Corporation operates in a complex environment due to the nature of our customers and our projects. Due to the size and nature of many of our contracts, the estimation of overall risk, revenue and cost at completion is complicated and subject to many variables. Depending on the contract, this poses challenges to the Corporation’s executive management team in overseeing contract performance and in evaluating the timing of the recognition of revenues and project costs, both initially and when there is a change in project status. Thus, the Corporation’s management team spends considerable time in evaluating and structuring key contracts, in monitoring project performance, and in assessing the financial status of our major contracts. Due to the complexity in the revenue recognition for the Corporation’s projects, executive financial management is attentive to developments in individual contracts that may affect the timing and measurement of contract costs and related revenues.
The Corporation continues to manage its projects to minimize risk and the negative financial impact upon the Corporation. More information on risks and the Corporation’s efforts to manage risks is available in Item 1A under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Corporation’s 2008 Form 10-K and supplemented elsewhere in this report. Additionally, please refer to the Corporation’s 2008 Form 10-K for a discussion of the components of the significant categories in the Corporation’s consolidated Statement of Operations.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In general, there have been no significant changes in the Corporation’s critical accounting policies since January 31, 2008. For a detailed discussion of these policies, please see Item 7 of the Corporation’s 2008 Form 10-K.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended October 31, 2008 Compared to Three Months Ended October 31, 2007
During the three months ended October 31, 2008, the Corporation’s contract revenues increased by 5.6% to $28.1 million compared to $26.6 million in the three months ended October 31, 2007. The increase was primarily due to higher revenues of approximately $1.7 million generated from non-asbestos projects offset by lower revenues of approximately $0.4 million for asbestos abatement projects during the three months ended October 31, 2008, as compared to the same period last year. The non-asbestos projects during the quarter consist largely of emergency response work related to the hurricanes in Texas and Louisiana. The Corporation’s gross margin increased to $4.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to $2.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 largely due to the higher revenues and field margin generated during the three months ended October 31, 2008. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased to 15.7% for the current quarter from 10.3% for the prior year quarter. Field margins, which are defined as the difference between contract revenues and direct field costs, increased to 23.8% of revenue for the current quarter, from 20.3% in the prior year fiscal quarter. The increase in the field margin percentage is due to increased revenues from non-asbestos projects which have higher profit margins than asbestos abatement projects offset by negative contract adjustments for two large asbestos contracts. Other direct costs decreased to $2.3 million or 8.2% of revenue for the current quarter as compared to $2.7 million or 10.2% of revenue for the prior year quarter. The dollar decrease is due to lower personnel and related costs and the closure of certain offices formerly maintained by the Company since the end of the prior year period.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $3.2 million in the three months ended October 31, 2008, as compared to $3.6 million in the three months ended October 31, 2007. The decrease is primarily due to reduced personnel costs and legal expenses. As a percentage of contract revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses in the current fiscal quarter decreased by 2.1% to 11.4% from 13.5% in the prior year fiscal quarter as a result of the above and a higher revenue base.
The Corporation reported income from operations of $1,184,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2008, compared to a loss from operations of ($852,000) for the three months ended October 31, 2007, as a direct result of the factors discussed above.
Interest expense decreased to $232,000 in the current quarter as compared to $303,000 in the same quarter of a year ago as a result of lower interest rates during the three months ended October 31, 2008.
Non-cash interest expense for preferred dividends and accretion of the discount relates to the private placement in July 2005 of $5.5 million of redeemable convertible preferred stock and the subsequent issuance of $1.375 million of redeemable convertible preferred stock from the exercise of the over-allotment option. As the preferred shares are mandatorily redeemable, the actual dividend and the accretion of the discount associated with the preferred stock are required to be reflected as interest expense. The current fiscal period had a $271,000 expense, which includes the actual dividend of $76,000 and the accretion of the discount associated with the preferred stock of $195,000. The prior fiscal period had a $229,000 expense, which included the actual dividend of $76,000, and the accretion of the discount associated with the preferred stock of $153,000.
During the quarter ended October 31, 2008, the Corporation recorded an $86,000 state income tax benefit and a $449,000 deferred tax provision.
During the quarter ended October 31, 2007, the Corporation recorded an $18,000 current federal tax provision, a $49,000 state income tax provision and a $288,000 deferred tax benefit.
Nine Months Ended October 31, 2008 Compared to Nine Months Ended October 31, 2007
During the nine months ended October 31, 2008, the Corporation’s contract revenues decreased by 7.9% to $69.1 million compared to $75.0 million in the nine months ended October 31, 2007. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction of $7.3 million in revenues generated from asbestos abatement projects offset by higher revenues of approximately $1.3 million for non-asbestos projects during the nine months ended October 31, 2008, as compared to the same period last year. The Corporation’s gross margin decreased to $9.7 million in the current nine month period as compared to $10.5 million in the prior year nine month period largely due to the lower revenues and field margin generated during the nine months ended October 31, 2008. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue remained constant at 14.0% for the current and prior year nine month periods. Field margins decreased to 24.5% of revenue for the current nine month period, from 24.9% in the prior year nine month period. Other direct costs decreased to $7.3 million or 10.6% of revenue for the current nine month period as compared to $8.2 million or 10.9% of revenue for the prior year nine month period. The dollar decrease is due to the closure of certain offices formerly maintained by the Company since the end of the prior year period as well as the reduced level of revenues.

Table of Contents

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $10.3 million in the nine months ended October 31, 2008, as compared to $9.4 million in the nine months ended October 31, 2007. The increase is principally due to higher sales and marketing costs, compensation costs for the new chief financial officer hired May 23, 2007, costs related to the Corporation’s rebranding, travel expenses and bad debt expense. As a percentage of contract revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses in the current nine month period increased by 2.4% to 14.9% from 12.5% in the prior year nine month period as a result of the above and a lower revenue base.
The Corporation reported a loss from operations of ($610,000) for the nine months ended October 31, 2008, compared to income from operations of $1,077,000 for the nine months ended October 31, 2007, as a direct result of the factors discussed above.
Interest expense decreased to $636,000 in the current nine month period as compared to $883,000 in the same nine month period of a year ago as a result of lower interest rates during the nine months ended October 31, 2008.
Non-cash interest expense for preferred dividends and accretion of the discount relates to the private placement in July 2005 of $5.5 million of redeemable convertible preferred stock and the subsequent issuance of $1.375 million of redeemable convertible preferred stock from the exercise of the over-allotment option. As the preferred shares are mandatorily redeemable, the actual dividend and the accretion of the discount associated with the preferred stock are required to be reflected as interest expense. The current nine month period had a $779,000 expense, which includes the actual dividend of $228,000 and the accretion of the discount associated with the preferred stock of $551,000. The prior nine month period had a $658,000 expense, which included the actual dividend of $228,000, and the accretion of the discount associated with the preferred stock of $430,000.
During the nine months ended October 31, 2008, the Corporation recorded a $40,000 state income tax benefit and a $391,000 deferred tax benefit.
During the nine months ended October 31, 2007, the Corporation recorded a $209,000 state income tax provision and a $177,000 deferred tax benefit.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the nine months ended October 31, 2008, the Corporation’s cash and cash equivalents decreased by $16,000 to $74,000. The decrease in cash during the period is attributable to inflows from financing activities of $4,157,000 offset by outflows from operating activities of $3,695,000 and investing activities of $478,000.
Cash used in operating activities totaled $3,695,000 in the nine months ended October 31, 2008. The bulk of the outflow was due to an increase in working capital of $5,528,000 and the net loss of $1,533,000 offset by non-cash expenses of $3,366,000. The change in working capital is primarily due to the increases in contracts receivable of $8,185,000 and costs in excess of billings of $1,795,000 and the decrease in accrued liabilities of $528,000 offset by the increases in accounts payable of $2,838,000 and billings in excess of costs of $1,320,000 and the decrease in other current assets of $1,017,000. The increase in contracts receivable, costs in excess of billings, accounts payable and billings in excess of costs is due to increased revenues from the first quarter of fiscal 2009 to the second and third quarters of fiscal 2009.
Investing activities cash outflows included $275,000 for the purchase of property, plant and equipment, $100,000 payment for the earnout liability, and an increase in other assets of $107,000.
Financing activities cash inflows consisted of $5,245,000 net proceeds from the line of credit offset by the payment for the insurance premium financing of $1,090,000. On October 31, 2008, the Company was not in compliance with the debt to worth financial covenant of the line of credit agreement. The Company obtained a waiver from Huntington Bank waiving this financial covenant as of October 31, 2008.
At October 31, 2008, the Corporation’s backlog totaled $41.9 million ($26.0 million on fixed fee contracts and $15.9 million on time and materials or unit price contracts). At October 31, 2008, our backlog consisted of $27.5 million of booked orders and an additional $14.4 million of open ended purchase orders or orders in final negotiation stage which will likely become booked orders in either the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 or the first quarter of fiscal 2010.

Table of Contents

At October 31, 2008, the Corporation had approximately $8.4 million of costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts. Included in this amount is approximately $4.2 million of costs related to contract claims and unapproved change orders. Of the $29.7 million in contracts receivable, approximately $2.2 million of contracts receivable represent disputed or litigated items. The Corporation expects to process change orders or pursue contract claims for at least the full amount of these costs relative to the aforementioned contracts.
In connection with the private placements in July 2005, the Company entered into registration rights agreements with the Common Stockholders and Preferred Stockholders. Under these registration rights agreements, the Company agreed to file a registration statement for the purpose of registering the resale of the common stock and the shares of common stock underlying the convertible securities we issued in the private placements. The registration rights agreements require the Company to keep the registration statement effective for a specified period of time. In the event that the registration statement is not filed or declared effective within the specified deadlines or is not effective for any period exceeding a permitted Black-Out Period (45 consecutive Trading Days but no more than an aggregate of 75 Trading Days during any 12-month period), then the Company will be obligated to pay the Preferred and Common Stockholders up to 12% of their purchase price per annum. On November 21, 2005 the Company Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC. As of October 31, 2008, the Company has utilized forty-five of the permitted aggregate Black-Out days. Other than the aforementioned monetary penalty, there are no provisions requiring cash payments or settlements if registered shares cannot be provided upon conversion/exercise or the shareholders cannot sell their shares due to a blackout event.
Outstanding shares of preferred stock that have not been converted to common stock at the maturity date of July 1, 2009 are payable in cash along with the related 8% per annum dividend. Thus, the preferred shares and the related amounts for accrued dividends have been classified in current liabilities as of July 31, 2008. The availability of resources to make the payments due on July 1, 2009, will depend on the Corporation’s cash flow and its ability to secure additional financing. The company does not currently have adequate resources or access to committed funds that will enable it to satisfy the redemption obligation. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time. In the event the Company is unable to satisfy the redemption obligation, the holder of the preferred stock could take certain actions that could materially and adversely affect the ability of the Company to continue its operations in the ordinary course of business. In addition, such actions may cause an event of default under our credit facility and there is no assurance that the Corporation will be successful in replacing the existing debt at favorable terms or on terms acceptable to the Corporation if at all. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Corporation be unable to operate in the ordinary course of business.
Subject to securing funds for the redemption obligation, the Corporation believes funds generated by operations and amounts available under its existing credit facility will be sufficient to finance its current operations and other ordinary course commitments for the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance that such funding will be available, as our ability to generate cash flows from operations and our ability to access funding under the revolving credit facilities may be impacted by a variety of business, economic, legislative, financial and other factors which may be outside the Corporation’s control. Additionally, the Corporation’s bonding facility has recently been suspended. While the corporation believes that it will be able to reactivate or replace the current facility in the near future, a termination or reduction of these bonding facilities could result in the utilization of letters of credit in lieu of performance bonds, thereby reducing the Corporation’s available capacity under the revolving credit facilities. There can be no assurance that such facilities will be available at reasonable terms to service the Corporation’s ordinary course obligations.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a smaller reporting company, the Company has elected scaled disclosure reporting obligations and therefore is not required to provide the information in Item 3.
