PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS OVERVIEW PDG Environmental, Inc., the registrant or corporation, is a holding company which, through its wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, provides environmental and specialty contracting services including asbestos and lead abatement, insulation, microbial remediation, demolition and related services. In the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Corporation formed IAQ Training Institute ("IAQTI"), a 50/50 joint venture, to provide training in mold awareness and remediation. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS During the past fiscal year the registrant derived the majority of its revenues from the abatement of asbestos but has broadened its offering of services to include a number of complementary services which utilize the registrant's existing infrastructure and personnel. The following is a discussion of each of the major services provided by the registrant. ASBESTOS ABATEMENT The asbestos abatement industry developed due to increased public awareness in the early 1970's of the health risks associated with asbestos, which was extensively used in building construction. Asbestos, which is a fibrous mineral found in rock formations throughout the world, was used extensively in a wide variety of construction-related products as a fire retardant and insulating material in residential, commercial and industrial properties. During the period from approximately 1910 to 1973, asbestos was commonly used as a construction material in structural steel fireproofing, as thermal insulation on pipes and mechanical equipment and as an acoustical insulation material. Asbestos was also used as a component in a variety of building materials (such as plaster, drywall, mortar and building block) and in caulking, tile adhesives, paint, roofing felts, floor tile and other surfacing materials. In the early 1970's, it became publicly recognized that inhalation or ingestion of asbestos fibers was a direct cause of certain diseases, including asbestosis (a debilitating pulmonary disease), lung cancer, mesothelioma (a cancer of the abdominal and lung lining) and other diseases. In particular, friable asbestos-containing materials ("ACM") were designated as a potential health hazard because these materials can produce microscopic fibers and become airborne when disturbed. The Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") first banned the use of asbestos as a construction material in 1973 and the federal government subsequently banned the use of asbestos in other building materials as well. Most structures built before 1973 contain ACM in some form and surveys conducted by the federal government have estimated that 31,000 schools and 733,000 public and commercial buildings contain friable ACM. Also, many more industrial facilities are known to contain asbestos. The asbestos abatement industry grew rapidly in the 1980's due to increasing public awareness and concern over health hazards associated with ACM, legislative action mandating safety standards and requiring abatement in certain circumstances, and economic pressures on building owners seeking to satisfy the requirements of financial institutions, insurers and tenants. During the last ten years the industry has remained stable with revenues tracking the general economic cycle. The registrant has expertise in all types of asbestos abatement including removal and disposal, enclosure and encapsulation. Asbestos abatement projects have been performed in commercial buildings, government and institutional buildings, schools, hospitals and industrial facilities for both the public and private sector. Asbestos abatement work is completed in accordance with EPA, OSHA, state and local regulations governing asbestos abatement operations, disposal and air monitoring requirements. LEAD During the 1990's an increasing awareness of the dangers associated with lead developed. While lead poisoning takes many forms, the most serious and troubling in the United States is the danger posed to children and infants from the ingestion of lead, primarily in the form of paint chips containing lead. Ingestion of lead has been proven to reduce mental capacities and is especially detrimental to children in the early stages of development. 1 The low income and public housing markets, due to the age of the structures, contain a significant amount of lead paint that is flaking and peeling. In response to this problem many municipal and state governments have developed programs to remediate the structures. The registrant has experience in utilizing various methods to remove lead-based paint that is adhered to surfaces and the removal of loose and flaking lead-based paint and dust or lead-contaminated soil. Removal methods include chemical stripping, wet scraping, needle gun, high-pressure water/vacuum and abrasive blasting. HEPA vacuums are utilized for dust and debris clean up. Analysis of removed material, as required, is performed to assure proper disposal of lead- contaminated waste and debris generated from removal operations. The registrant competitively bids the majority of the work it receives from municipal and state governments. INSULATION The insulation industry is involved with providing thermal insulation for piping, tanks, boilers and other systems in industrial, commercial and institutional facilities for both new construction and retrofits. Many applications require the removal of old asbestos containing insulation prior to the retrofits. The registrant's capabilities include the installation of new thermal insulation, fireproofing and firestopping. The registrant's experience includes piping systems, HVAC, process distribution systems and tanks for commercial, industrial, power generation and petrochemical facilities. The registrant is also experienced with cryogenic systems insulation as well as high-pressure boilers and steam pipe insulation for new installations or repair and renovation to existing systems. INDOOR AIR QUALITY / MICROBIAL REMEDIATION Health professionals have been aware of the adverse health effects of exposure to mold for decades, but the issue has gained increased public awareness in recent years. Studies indicate that 50% of all homes contain mold and that the dramatic increase in asthma over the past 20 years can be attributed to mold exposure. The registrant's current focus is on mold remediation in both commercial and residential structures. The registrant's experience includes identification and development of remediation plans, detailing methods and performing microbial (mold, fungus, etc.) abatement in commercial, residential, educational, medical and industrial facilities. The registrant's activities include decontamination, application of biocides and sealant, removal of building systems (drywall, carpet, etc.), duct cleaning, and disposal of building furnishings. DEMOLITION Similar to the insulation industry, the demolition industry has a wide range of applications and services. The registrant has currently limited their services to the performance of selective interior and structural demolition. The registrant's experience includes interior and structural demolition in occupied buildings utilizing specially equipped air filtration devices to minimize airborne dust emissions in occupied areas. This work has been a natural progression from asbestos abatement work, which often requires significant interior demolition to access asbestos material for removal. MOLD REMEDIATION TRAINING In the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Corporation formed IAQ Training Institute ("IAQ Venture"), a 50/50 joint venture, to provide training in mold awareness and remediation. OPERATIONS The registrant's operating subsidiaries provide services on a project contract basis. Individual projects are competitively bid, although most contracts with private owners are ultimately negotiated. The majority of contracts undertaken are on a fixed price basis. The length of the contracts is typically less than one year; however, larger projects may require two or more years to complete. The registrant closely monitors contracts by assigning responsibility for each contract to a project manager who coordinates the project until its completion. The contracted work is performed by a qualified labor force in accordance with regulatory requirements, contract specifications and the registrant's written operating procedures which describes worker safety and protection procedures, air monitoring protocols and abatement methods. The registrant's operations are nationwide. The majority of the registrant's national marketing efforts are performed by members 2 of senior management located in the headquarters facility in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Regional marketing and project operations are also conducted through branch offices located in New York City, New York; Hazleton and Export, Pennsylvania; Fort Lauderdale and Tampa, Florida; Houston, Texas; Los Angeles, California, Phoenix, Arizona; Portland, Oregon; Seattle, Washington and Rock Hill, South Carolina. Since the registrant and its subsidiaries are able to perform work throughout the year, the business is not considered seasonal in nature. However, it is affected by the timing of large contracts. SUPPLIERS AND CUSTOMERS The registrant purchases the equipment and supplies used in the business from a number of suppliers. Two of these suppliers accounted for 48% and 15%, respectively, of the registrant's purchases in fiscal 2003. The items are purchased from the vendor's available stock and are not covered by a formalized agreement. In fiscal 2003, the registrant estimates that approximately 78% of its operating subsidiaries' revenues were derived from private sector clients, 12% from government contracts and 10% from public institutions. Due to the nature of the registrant's business, which involves large contracts that are often completed within one year, customers that account for a significant portion of revenue in one year may represent an immaterial portion of revenue in subsequent years. For the years ended January 31, 2003 and 2002 no customer accounted for more than 10% of the registrant's consolidated revenues for that year. For the year ended January 31, 2001, one customer, the US Army, accounted for 12% of the registrant's consolidated revenue. LICENSES The registrant, through its operating subsidiaries, is licensed and/or certified in all jurisdictions where required in order to conduct its operations. In addition, certain management and staff members are licensed and/or certified by various governmental agencies and professional organizations. INSURANCE AND BONDS The registrant and its operating subsidiaries maintain liability insurance for claims arising from its business. The policy, which provides a $1.0 million limit per claim and in the aggregate, insures against both property damage and bodily injury arising from the contracting activities of the registrant's operating subsidiaries. The policy is written on an "occurrence" basis which provides coverage for insured risks that occur during the policy period, irrespective of when a claim is made. Higher policy limits are available for individual projects. The registrant also provides worker's compensation insurance, at statutory limits, which covers the employees of the registrant's operating subsidiaries. A number of the registrant's contracts require performance and payment bonds and the registrant maintains a bonding program to satisfy these requirements. COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS The environmental and specialty contractor industries are highly competitive and include both small firms and large diversified firms, which have the financial, technical and marketing capabilities to compete on a national level. The industries are not dominated by any one firm. The registrant principally competes on the basis of competitive pricing, a reputation for quality and safety, and the ability to obtain the appropriate level of insurance and bonding. REGULATORY MATTERS Numerous regulations at the federal, state and local levels impact the environmental industry, including the EPA's Clean Air Act and Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA") requirements. As outlined below, these agencies have mandated procedures for monitoring and handling asbestos and lead containing material during abatement projects and the transportation and disposal of ACM and lead following removal. Current EPA regulations establish procedures for controlling the emission of asbestos fibers into the environment during removal, transportation or disposal of ACM. The EPA also has notification requirements before removal operations can begin. Many state authorities and local jurisdictions have implemented similar programs governing removal, handling and disposal of ACM. The health and safety of personnel involved in the removal of asbestos and lead are protected by OSHA regulations which specify allowable airborne exposure standards for asbestos workers and allowable blood levels for lead workers, engineering controls, work area practices, supervision, training, medical surveillance and decontamination practices for worker protection. 3 The registrant believes it is in compliance with all of the federal, state and local statutes and regulations that affect its asbestos and lead abatement business. The other segments of the environmental and specialty contractor industry that the registrant operates in are not currently as regulated as the asbestos and lead abatement industries. BACKLOG The registrant and its operating subsidiaries had a backlog of orders totaling approximately $31.5 million and $31.7 million at January 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The backlog at January 31, 2003 consisted of $22.0 million of uncompleted work on fixed fee contracts and an estimated $9.5 million of work to be completed on time and materials or unit price contracts. The backlog at January 31, 2002 consisted of $24.0 million of uncompleted work on fixed fee contracts and an estimated $7.7 million of work to be completed on time and materials or unit price contracts. The Company, from time to time, enters into fixed-price subcontracts which tends to reduce the risk to the Company on fixed-price contracts. The backlog represents the portion of contracts which remain to be completed at a given point in time. As these contracts are completed, the backlog will be reduced and a compensating amount of revenue will be recognized. The Company is currently working on virtually all of the contracts in its January 31, 2003 backlog and anticipates that approximately 84% of this backlog will be completed and realized as revenue by January 31, 2004 in accordance with the terms of the applicable contracts between the registrant and the owners of these properties. The remaining 16% are expected to be completed and realized as revenue subsequent to January 31, 2004. Approximately 66% of the backlog existing at January 31, 2002 was completed and recognized as revenue by January 31, 2003 with 19% expected to be completed and realized as revenue during the year ending January 31, 2004 and 15% thereafter. EMPLOYEES As of January 31, 2003, the registrant employs approximately 110 employees consisting of senior management and staff employees among its headquarters in Pittsburgh and branch offices located in New York City, NY; Hazleton, PA; Export, PA; Fort Lauderdale, FL; Tampa, FL; Los Angeles, CA; Houston, TX; Phoenix, AZ; Portland, OR; Seattle, WA and Rock Hill, SC. The staff employees include accounting, administrative, sales and clerical personnel as well as project managers and field supervisors. The registrant also employs laborers for field operations based upon specific projects; therefore, the precise number varies based upon the outstanding backlog. Approximately 400-500 laborers and supervisors are employed on a steady basis, with casual labor hired on an as-needed basis to supplement the work force. A portion of the field laborers who provide services to the registrant are represented by a number of different unions. In many cases, the Company is a member of a multi-employer plan. Management considers its employee labor relations to be good. WEB SITE POSTINGS The registrant makes its annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission available to the public free of charge through its website as soon as reasonably practicable after making such filings. The registrant's website can be accessed at the following address: www.pdge.com. The information found on the registrant's website or that may be accessed through the registrant's website is not part of this report and is not incorporated hereby by this reference. RISK FACTORS Any of the following risks could materially adversely affect the registrant's business, operating results and financial condition. THIS TIMING OF CASH FLOW IS DIFFICULT TO PREDICT The timing of the Company's cash receipts from accounts receivables is unpredictable. In many cases the Company is a subcontractor to the general contractor on the job and, therefore, funds are not made available to the Company until the general contractor has been paid by the owner of the job. Additionally, many of the Company's contracts provide for retainage of a portion of the Company's billings until the job has been accepted by the owner. As the Company's activities are usually early in the contract cycle, if the Company is acting as a subcontractor, the retainage (typically 5% to 10% of the contract value) may be held until the project is complete. This timeframe may be many months after the Company's completion of their portion of the 4 contract. This delay further subjects the Company to the credit risk associated with the general contractor and the owner of the project. The Company can avail itself of lien rights and other security common to the construction industry to offset the aforementioned credit risk. Unexpected delays in receiving amounts due from customers can put a strain on the Company's cash availability and cause the Company to delay payments to vendors and subcontractors. THE COMPANY IS DEPENDENT UPON ITS LINE OF CREDIT TO FINANCE OPERATIONS The Company currently has a $5.1 million line of credit from its financial institution. The line of credit, by agreement, will reduce to $4.5 million on July 1, 2003. The timing of collection of the Company's account receivable is unpredictable and, there can be no assurance that the Company will have the cash flow to fund the aforementioned reduction in the line of credit. The Company's current bank has required the personnel guarantee of the Chief Executive Officer as a credit enhancement to support the credit facility. Mr. Regan has provided same but there exists no assurance that he will continue to do so in the future. Should the Company not be able to secure sufficient financing to fund operations its ability to pay employees, vendors and subcontractors would be impacted which would have a material adverse effect upon the Company. TO MAINTAIN OUR OPERATION, THE COMPANY MUST HAVE ADEQUATE INSURANCE AND SUFFICIENT BONDING CAPACITY The Company maintains an insurance and bonding program consistent with the Company's financial needs; however, there have been events in the national economy which have adversely affected the major insurance and surety companies. This has resulted in a tightening of the insurance and bonding markets which has resulted in the costs increasing and the availability of certain types of insurance and surety capacity either decreasing or becoming non-existent. There can be no assurance the Company's insurance and bonding program will be adequate or that it will be available to the Company in the future. The lack of an adequate insurance and bonding program could have a material and adverse effect upon the ability of the Company to secure and perform contracts. The Company's current surety company has required the personnel guarantee of the Chief Executive Officer as a credit enhancement to support the issuance of the bonds. Mr. Regan has provided same but there exists no assurance that he will continue to do so in the future. THE COMPANY DEPENDS UPON A FEW KEY EMPLOYEES The Company is dependent upon its senior management to make all material decisions with respect to the management of the Company. Qualified personnel are difficult to attract and in some markets there is a shortage of qualified personnel in the businesses in which the Company operates. The loss of a senior manager or managers could have a material adverse impact upon the Company. THE COMPANY HAS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF WORK UNDER CONTRACT WITH NEW YORK CITY PUBLIC AGENCIES The Company currently has several contracts with New York City public agencies. Funding for these projects is dependent upon the financial condition of New York City; which has been adversely affected by the downturn in the economy and the increased funding required for homeland security, resulting in a decreased level of activity under these contracts. Due to significant initial costs incurred by the Company to commence these contracts, continued curtailment of work under these contracts may require negative contract adjustments in the future. A SIGNIFICANT OF THE COMPANY'S CONTRACTS ARE AWARDED VIA COMPETITIVE BID A significant amount of the Company's business is performed on a contract basis as a result of competitive bidding. The Company must estimate the costs involved with the applicable job prior to submitting a bid and, therefore, if awarded the job bears the risk if actual costs exceed the estimated costs. Failure to make accurate estimate could result in losses being incurred by the Company and thereby reducing or eliminating profit for a specific quarter or fiscal year. THE ASBESTOS ABATEMENT BUSINESS IS SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS WHILE THE MICROBIAL REMEDIATION BUSINESS IS LARGELY UNREGULATED Demand for asbestos abatement services is partially related to various federal, state and local laws and substantial regulations promulgated by governmental agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency, various state agencies and county and local authorities acting in conjunction with such federal and state entities. Governmental authorities have the power to enforce compliance with those regulations and to obtain injunctions or impose fines in the case of violations. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing the Company's asbestos abatement operations or more stringent implementation thereof could have a material adverse effect on the Company or require substantial capital expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations. 5 The microbial remediation portion of the Company's business currently is largely unregulated. As this business grows it is likely that government regulation will increase. The Company can not predict how the regulations may evolve or whether they may require increased capital and/or operating expenditures to comply with the new regulations. New regulation may have an adverse impact upon the Company's microbial remediation business. THE RECEIPT OF CONTRACT AWARDS BY THE COMPANY IS UNPREDICTABLE The Company is an environmental and specialty contractor and as such is affected by the timing of the award of large contracts. Therefore, backlogs, revenues and income are subject to significant fluctuation between quarters and years. These fluctuations can significantly impact revenue and net income as the Company may not be able to adjust its overhead structure and costs to meet an unexpected decline in revenue. THE BUSINESSES IN WHICH THE COMPANY OPERATES ARE VERY COMPETITIVE The Company competes with numerous firms in the asbestos abatement and specialty contracting business, some of which have resources exceeding those of the Company. Additionally, the asbestos abatement market is a relatively mature industry with limited growth potential. VOTING CONTROL IS HELD BY THE DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS OF THE COMPANY Currently directors and officers of the Company as a group beneficially own approximately 34% of the voting securities of the Company and, therefore, can have a significant impact upon any proposal brought to the shareholders for a vote if they vote as a block. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES As of January 31, 2003, the registrant leases certain office space for its executive offices in Pittsburgh totaling 3,334 square feet. In addition, a combination of warehouse and office space is leased in Los Angeles (6,500 square feet), Hazleton (1,800 square feet), Fort Lauderdale (6,000 square feet), Tampa (5,400 square feet), Rock Hill (15,000 square feet), Houston (3,800 square feet), Phoenix (3,125 square feet), Portland (6,000 square feet), Seattle (2,150 square feet), and New York City (3,800 square feet). The registrant also owns a 15,000 square foot office/warehouse situated on approximately six (6) acres in Export, Pennsylvania which is subject to a mortgage of $366,000 at January 31, 2003. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The registrant is subject to dispute and litigation in the ordinary course of business. None of these matters, in the opinion of management, is likely to result in a material effect on the registrant based upon information available at this time. ITEM 4.

At March 26, 2003, the registrant had 2,091 stockholders of record. The registrant has not historically declared or paid dividends with respect to its common stock and has no intention to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. The registrant's ability to pay common dividends is prohibited due to limitations imposed by the registrant's Series A Preferred Stock which require that dividends must be paid to holders of preferred stock prior to the payment of dividends to holders of common stock and by the Company's banking agreement which requires the prior consent of the bank before dividends are declared.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL The registrant, through its operating subsidiaries, provides environmental and specialty contracting services including asbestos and lead abatement, insulation, microbial remediation, demolition and related services. The following paragraphs are intended to highlight key operating trends and developments in the registrant's operations and to identify other factors affecting the Company's consolidated results of operations for the three years ended January 31, 2003. Certain statements contained in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this report are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements relate to future events or the registrant's future financial performance. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "may", "will", "should", "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "plan", "believe", "estimate", "potential", or "continue", the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual events or results may differ materially from any forward-looking statement as a result of various factors, including those described above under "Risk Factors". RESULTS OF OPERATIONS YEAR ENDED JANUARY 31, 2003 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED JANUARY 31, 2002 During the year ended January 31, 2003, (fiscal 2003) the registrant's consolidated revenues decreased to $40.9 million as compared to $42.6 million the previous fiscal year ended January 31, 2002 (fiscal 2002). The decrease was due in part to revenue decreases from the sale of the St. Louis operations and refocusing of the southeast Texas operations which were partially offset by $3.0 million of revenues from a significant project in New York and the inclusion of $2.2 million of revenues for the period February 1, 2002 to May 31, 2002 from the Los Angeles office where no revenues were generated in the prior year fiscal period as the operation was acquired June 1, 2001. The registrant's reported gross margin increased to $5.8 million in fiscal 2003 compared to $4.3 million in fiscal 2002. The increase in gross margin is due to higher gross margin percentage realized on contracts in the current fiscal year. Additionally, the prior fiscal year included $1.3 million of negative contract adjustments on four in process projects. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased slightly in fiscal 2003 to $5.4 million compared to $5.45 million in fiscal 2002. This decrease was due to cost containment by the registrant during the current period and decreased costs from the St. 8 Louis and southeast Texas operations, partially offset by costs associated with the Los Angeles office which was owned the entire twelve-month period in the current fiscal year. As a result of the factors discussed above, the registrant reported income from operations in fiscal 2003 of $0.4 million compared to a loss from operations of ($1.2) million in fiscal 2002. Interest expense decreased to $0.38 million in fiscal 2003 compared to $0.40 million in fiscal 2002 as a result of due to lower interest rates in fiscal 2003 which offset a higher level of borrowings to support operations and the borrowings associated with the acquisition of the Los Angeles office acquired June 1, 2001. The current year other income includes a $0.32 million gain from the sale of the St. Louis operation and the sale of certain fixed assets and inventory of the southeast Texas operations and an impairment charge of $149,000 was made to reflect the termination of operations at the St. Louis and Chicago locations which were sold/closed, respectively, during fiscal 2003. The St. Louis and Chicago operations were acquired in fiscal 1999. Other income in fiscal 2003 totaled approximately $54,000 versus $24,000 in fiscal 2002. The $42,000 add back to income for minority interest reflects the other venturee's 50% share of the IAQTI's loss which is reflected throughout the Statement of Operations as the results of the IAQTI are consolidated. As a result of net operating loss carryforwards for book purposes, there was no federal income tax provision in fiscal 2003 and 2002. State income tax provisions of $16,000 and $30,000 were made in fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. At January 31, 2003, the Company has approximately $5.8 million of net operating loss carryforwards to offset future federal income taxes. YEAR ENDED JANUARY 31, 2002 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED JANUARY 31, 2001 Consolidated revenues reported by the registrant increased to $42.6 million for the year ended January 31, 2002 (fiscal 2002) compared to $34.6 million for the year ended January 31, 2001 (fiscal 2001). The fiscal 2002 revenue included $7.7 million from the Los Angeles office acquired June 1, 2001. Excluding the effect of this acquisition on revenue, revenues increased $0.3 million or 1% in fiscal 2002. Contract costs increased to $38.3 million in fiscal 2002 compared to $29.6 million in fiscal 2001 and resulted in reported gross margins of $4.3 million and $5.0 million, respectively, in each fiscal year. The decrease in gross margin is due primarily to labor shortages and $1.3 million of negative contract adjustments on four significant contracts in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2002. The registrant's selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 20% between the two fiscal years to $5.5 million in fiscal 2002 compared to $4.6 million in fiscal 2001. This increase was due to the addition of five branch offices (three from acquisition and two via the opening of new offices) during Fiscal 2002 and 2001 and a provision of $0.2 million for uncollectable accounts in fiscal 2002. The factors discussed above resulted in the registrant reporting a loss from operations of $1.2 million in fiscal 2002 compared to income from operations of $0.4 million in fiscal 2001. Interest expense increased to $0.4 million from $0.26 million due to a higher level of borrowings to support increased revenues and borrowings required to finance the acquisition of the Los Angeles office acquired in June 2001. Interest income decreased to $3,000 for the year ended January 31, 2002 compared to $16,000 for the previous fiscal year due to lower invested cash balances at certain periods throughout the year. As a result of the current year loss in fiscal 2002 and existing net operating loss carryforwards for book purposes, no federal income tax provision was required in fiscal 2002 and 2001. In fiscal 2002, a $30,000 state income tax provision was made as compared to a $41,000 state income tax provision in fiscal 2001. 9 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES FISCAL 2003 During fiscal 2003, the registrant experienced a decrease in liquidity of $0.335 million as cash and short-term investments decreased from $0.37 million at January 31, 2002 to $0.04 million at January 31, 2003. The decrease in liquidity in fiscal 2003 was attributable to cash utilized by financing activities of $0.74 million partially offset by cash inflows of $0.23 million from operating activities and of $0.18 million from financing activities. Cash outflows from financing activities of $0.74 million during fiscal 2003 included $0.74 million of repayments on debt including reducing the line of credit by $0.15 million to $3.95 million at January 31, 2003 from $4.1 million at January 31, 2002. Cash inflows from operating activities were generated by net income of $0.28 million, depreciation and amortization of $1.05 million, a $3.4 million decrease in accounts receivable and a $0.15 million provision for impairment of goodwill. The cash inflows were partially offset by cash utilizations including a $0.22 million decrease in contingent acquisition consideration, the $0.32 million gain on the sale of the St. Louis operations and certain southwest Texas fixed assets and inventory, $0.04 million of minority interest in the IAQTI, a $0.59 million increase in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, a $0.05 million increase in inventories, a $2.65 million decrease in accounts payable, a $0.09 million decrease in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts and a $0.74 million decrease in accrued liabilities related to the timing of the payments. The registrant's investing activities generated cash flow of $0.18 million which included $0.49 million of proceeds from the sale of the St. Louis operation and certain southwestern Texas fixed assets and inventory and the $0.03 million of capital contributions from the other venturee in the IAQTI. These inflows were partially offset by $0.32 million for the purchase of property, plant and equipment and a $0.02 million payment related to an acquisition completed in a prior fiscal year. Based upon the current operating plan, the Company expects that its existing cash balances and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to finance the Company's working capital and capital expenditure requirements through Fiscal 2004. However, if events occur or circumstances change such that the Company fails to meets its operating plan as expected, the Company may require additional funds to support its working capital requirements or for other purposes and may seek to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing or from other sources. If additional financing is needed, the Company can not be assured that such financing will be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. FISCAL 2002 During fiscal 2002, the registrant experienced an increase in liquidity of $0.16 million as cash and short-term investments increased from $0.21 million at January 31, 2001 to $0.37 million at January 31, 2002. The increase in liquidity in fiscal 2002 was attributable to $2.7 million of cash provided by financing activities this was partially offset by cash outflows of $0.86 million from operating activities and $1.7 million from investing activities. Specifically, cash outflows from operating activities were related to accounts receivable which increased by $5.65 million, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts which increased by $0.27 million and the net loss of $1.6 million. These cash outflows were partially offset cash inflows from accounts payable which increased $3.87 million, billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts which increased by $0.25 million, a decrease in other current assets of $0.29 million, a $0.56 million increase in accrued liabilities, $1.2 million of depreciation and amortization, a $0.2 million provision for uncollectable accounts and a $0.26 million increase in contingent payment consideration. The registrant's investing activities utilized cash of $1.7 million during fiscal 2002 which was attributable to $0.76 million of purchases of property, plant and equipment and $0.92 million for the acquisition of businesses. The $2.72 million from financing activities during fiscal 2002 included proceeds from debt of $3.13 million consisting of $0.6 million from new term equipment loans from the Company's prime lender, $2.35 million of borrowings on the line of credit and $0.18 million of equipment financing. Additionally, $0.01 million was received from the exercise of stock options. These inflows were partially offset by $0.43 million of scheduled principal payments on term debt. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The only market risk, as defined, that the Company is exposed to is interest rate sensitivity. The interest rate on the equipment note and revolving line of credit fluctuate based upon changes in the prime rate. Each 1% change in the prime rate will result in a $48,000 change in borrowing costs based upon the balance outstanding at January 31, 2003. The interest rate on the term debt is 10 readjusted in August 2003 and if the current interest rate environment exists in August 2003, the interest rate on the term debt would decrease. ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA The consolidated financial statements of the registrant and its subsidiaries and the report of Stokes & Hinds LLC are submitted in a separate section of this report. ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE During the two most recent fiscal years of the registrant, there were no disagreements with the independent auditors on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement would have caused the auditors to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement or disagreements in connection with their reports. 11 PART III The information called for by Part III (Items #10, 11, 12 and 13) is incorporated herein by references to the registrant's definitive Proxy Statement for the 2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. ITEM 14. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Based upon his evaluation as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this annual report on Form 10-K, the Company's Chief Executive Officer has concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in rules 13a-14(c) and 15-d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation. There were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, and therefore, there were no corrective actions taken. 12 PART IV ITEM 15.

See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS F-6 PDG ENVIRONMENTAL, INC. FOR THE THREE YEARS ENDED JANUARY 31, 2003 NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION BUSINESS ACTIVITIES PDG Environmental, Inc. (the "Corporation") is a holding company which, through its wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, provides environmental and specialty contracting services including asbestos and lead abatement, insulation, microbial remediation, demolition and related services. In the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Corporation formed IAQ Training Institute ("IAQTI") a 50/50 joint venture to provide training in mold awareness and remediation. Services are generally performed under the terms of fixed price contracts or time and materials contracts with a duration of less than one year, although larger projects may require two or more to complete. NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES FINANCIAL PRESENTATION: The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The results of IAQTI, in which the Corporation holds a 50% interest, were also consolidated since the Corporation is a 50% owner of IAQTI and exercises management control. The other 50% owner's portion is reflected as minority interest in the financial statements. REVENUES AND COST RECOGNITION: Revenues for services performed are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the relationship of total cost incurred to total estimated contract costs (cost-to-cost method). Contract costs include direct labor, material and subcontractor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, depreciation, repairs and insurance. Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Bidding and proposal costs are also recognized as an expense in the period in which such amounts are incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recognized in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to estimated costs and income, and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Profit incentives are included in revenues when their realization is reasonably assured. CASH AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS: Cash and short-term investments consist principally of currency on hand, demand deposits at commercial banks, and liquid investment funds having a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS The Company provides for estimated losses on uncollectible accounts receivable based upon management's review of outstanding trade receivables. F-7 INVENTORIES: Inventories consisting of materials and supplies used in the completion of contracts is stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT: Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. INCOME TAXES: The Corporation provides for income taxes under the liability method as required by SFAS No. 109. Earnings on construction contracts, for income tax purposes, are determined using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the future tax effects of temporary differences between financial and income tax reporting based on enacted laws and applicable rates. NOTE 3 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," which eliminated the pooling of interest method of accounting for all business combinations initialed after June 30, 2001 and addresses the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business combination. The Company adopted this accounting standard for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. The Company adopted SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," effective February 1, 2002. SFAS 142 addresses the financial and accounting and reporting standards for the acquisition of intangible assets outside of a business combination and for goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. This accounting standard requires that goodwill be separately disclosed from other intangible assets in the statement of financial position, and no longer be amortized but tested for impairment on a periodic basis. The provisions of this accounting standard also require the completion of a transitional impairment test within six months of adoption, with any impairments identified treated as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. No impairment charge was made at that time. At January 31, 2003 an impairment charge of $149,000 was made to reflect the termination of operations at the St. Louis and Chicago locations which were sold/closed, respectively, during fiscal 2003. The aforementioned operations were acquired in fiscal 1999. Non amortization of goodwill in fiscal 2003 eliminated a $37,000 annual charge. In August 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which supersedes SFAS No. 121 and provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of. The new rules significantly change what would have to be met to classify an asset as held for sale. In addition, more dispositions will qualify for discontinued operations treatment in the income statement as the criteria for discontinued operation presentation is changed to a component of the business rather than a segment of the business. The Company will be required to apply SFAS No. 144 as of October 1, 2003. SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized at fair value when the liability is incurred, rather than at the date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan. The provisions of SFAS No. 146 are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initialed after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. The Company does not expect that the impact will be material. In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for this Statement and amends the disclosure requirements of Statement 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company was required to apply SFAS No. 148 for the year ended January 31, 2003. The adoption of Statement No. 148 did F-8 not have a material effect on the Corporation's financial position or results of operations as it continues to account for stock based compensation under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related Interpretations. NOTE 4 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Accounts receivable at January 31, 2003 and 2002 include $1,308,000 and $1,247,000, respectively, of retainage receivables. For the years ended January 31, 2003 and 2002, no customer accounted for more than 10% of the Corporation's consolidated revenues. It is the Corporation's policy not to require collateral with respect to outstanding receivables. The Corporation continuously reviews the creditworthiness of customers and, when feasible, requests collateral to secure the performance of services. All of the Corporation's outstanding accounts receivable are expected to be collected within the normal operating cycle of one year. NOTE 5 - COSTS AND ESTIMATED EARNINGS ON UNCOMPLETED CONTRACTS Details related to contract activity are as follows:
JANUARY 31, 2003 2002 ------------------------- Revenues earned on uncompleted contracts $44,859,000 $35,173,000 Less: billings to date 42,517,000 33,520,000 ----------- ----------- Net Under Billings $ 2,342,000 $ 1,653,000 =========== ===========

On August 3, 2000, the Corporation closed on a new $4.7 million credit facility with Sky Bank, an Ohio banking association, consisting of a 3-year $3 million revolving line of credit, a 5-year $1 million equipment note, a 15-year $0.4 million mortgage and a 5-year $0.3 million commitment for future equipment financing. The new financing repaid all of the Company's existing debt. The line of credit, equipment note and commitment for future equipment financing are at an interest rate of prime plus 1% with financial covenant incentives which may reduce the interest rate to either prime plus 1/2% or prime (at January 31, 2003 prime was 4.25%). The mortgage is at an interest rate of 9.15% fixed for three years and is then adjusted to 2.75% above the 3-year Treasury Index every three years. The Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation provided a limited personal guarantee for the credit facility. The credit facility contains certain financial covenants which the Corporation required waiver at January 31, 2003 and 2002 and met at January 31, 2001. In November 2000, Sky Bank approved a $1.5 million increase in the line of credit to $4.5 million to fund the proposed acquisition of Tri-State Restorations, an asbestos abatement and demolition company in California. (See Note 13 for further discussion of the acquisition). Additionally, Sky Bank increased the commitment for future equipment financing by $0.3 million to $0.6 million. In April 2001 and June 2001, the Company borrowed $273,000 and $283,000, respectively, against the commitment for future equipment financing to fund the fixed asset portion of the Tri-State Restoration acquisition and to fund other equipment purchases. In August 2001 the remaining $44,000 was borrowed against the commitment for future equipment financing to fund equipment purchases. On May 6, 2002 Sky Bank increased the line of credit by $750,000 to $5.25 million for a ninety-day period. In July 2002, the Corporation and Sky Bank reached an agreement whereby the Corporation's availability on the line of credit was reduced by $50,000 on August 6, 2002, by $100,000 for each of the seven successive months thereby eliminating the $750,000 increase by March 5, 2003. Additionally in August 2002, the Corporation agreed to pay $100,000 of the proceeds from the sale of the St. Louis operation to reduce the balance outstanding on the equipment notes with Sky Bank. On February 28, 2003 Sky Bank increased the line of credit by $600,000 to $5.1 million for a four-month period. The F-10 availability on the line of credit will be reduced to $4.5 million on July 1, 2003. In December 2002 Sky Bank extended the maturity date of the Company's line of credit until June 1, 2004. On January 31, 2003, the balance on the line of credit was $3,950,000 with an unused availability of $650,000. The majority of the Corporation's property and equipment are pledged as security for the above obligations. Maturity requirements on long-term debt aggregate $467,000 in fiscal 2004, $4,352,000 in fiscal 2005, $256,000 in fiscal 2006, $21,000 in fiscal 2007, $23,000 in fiscal 2008 and $270,000 thereafter. The Corporation paid approximately $378,000, $367,000, and $236,000 for interest costs during the years ended January 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES At January 31, 2003, the Corporation has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $5,783,000 for income tax purposes which expire in years 2003 through 2011. For financial reporting purposes, a valuation allowance of approximately $2,137,000 has been recognized to offset the deferred tax asset related to those carryforwards and to other deferred tax assets. When realized, the tax benefit of these net operating loss carryforwards will be applied to reduce income tax expense. These loss carryforwards are subject to various restrictions based on future operations of the group. The valuation allowance decreased by $178,000 during the year ended January 31, 2003 primarily due to the utilization of the net operating loss carryforward. The significant components of the Corporation's deferred tax liabilities and assets as of January 31, 2003 and 2002 are as follows:
JANUARY 31, 2003 2002 ----------------------- Deferred tax liabilities: Tax over book depreciation $ - $ - Deferred tax assets: Book over tax depreciation and amortization 115,000 75,000 Other 56,000 32,000 Net operating loss carryforwards 1,966,000 2,208,000 ---------- ---------- Total deferred tax assets 2,137,000 2,315,000 Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets 2,137,000 2,315,000 ---------- ---------- Net deferred tax assets - - ---------- ---------- Net deferred tax liabilities $ - $ - ========== ==========

The Corporation paid approximately $65,000, $104,000 and $73,000 for federal and state income and franchise taxes during the years ended January 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. NOTE 9 - NOTES RECEIVABLE - OFFICERS At January 31, 2003 and 2002, the Corporation had approximately $132,000 in notes receivable from its officers in the form of personal loans. A breakdown of the notes receivable balance at January 31, 2003 by officer is as follows: John C. Regan, Chairman -$95,000; Dulcia Maire, Secretary -$30,000 and Lawrence Horvat, Vice President -$7,000. NOTE 10 - COMPENSATION PLANS The Corporation has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because, as discussed below, the alternative fair value accounting provided for under SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," (as amended by SFAS 148), requires use of option valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. Under APB 25, when the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the measurement date, no compensation expense is recognized. The Corporation maintains a qualified Incentive Stock Option plan (the "Plan") which provides for the grant of incentive options to purchase an aggregate of up to 3,300,000 shares of the common stock of the Corporation to certain officers and employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. All options granted have 10-year terms. Options to purchase 629,000 shares of the Corporation's common stock were granted under the Plan issuable related to fiscal 2004 at an exercise price of $0.19 per share. Options to purchase 660,000 shares of the Corporation's common stock at an exercise price of $0.46 per share were granted under the Plan issuable related to fiscal 2003. Vesting of the non-discretionary portion of the stock options was contingent upon the individual offices, and in the case of the executive office, the Corporation meeting pre-established financial goals for the year. Those individual non-discretionary awards that did not vest due to failure to achieve goals, vest in November 2010. Vesting of the discretionary portion is based upon a number of discretionary items, including overall corporate performance, absolute dollar amount of office contribution and the magnitude of contracts awarded during the prior year and the office backlog as of the end of the year to name the most significant criteria among others. All unvested discretionary options are returned to the Plan for future grants. A total of 430,034 options to purchase shares of common stock vested at January 31, 2003 relative to fiscal 2003. Options to purchase 536,500 shares of the Corporation's common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share were granted under the Plan issuable related to fiscal 2002. Vesting of the non-discretionary portion of the stock options was contingent upon the individual offices, and in the case of the executive office, the Corporation meeting pre-established financial goals for the year. Those individual non-discretionary awards that did not vest due to failure to achieve goals, vest in November 2009. Vesting of the discretionary portion is based upon a number of discretionary items, including overall corporate performance, absolute dollar F-12 amount of office contribution and the magnitude of contracts awarded during the prior year and the office backlog as of the end of the year to name the most significant criteria among others. All unvested discretionary options are returned to the Plan for future grants. A total of 290,000 options to purchase shares of common stock vested at January 31, 2002 relative to fiscal 2002. Additionally, 450,000 options to purchase shares of common stock of the Company were issued to the former majority owner of Tri-State Restorations, Inc. See Note 13. Options to purchase 362,000 shares of the Corporation's common stock at an exercise price of $0.53 per share were granted under the Plan issuable related to fiscal 2001. Vesting of the non-discretionary portion of the stock options was contingent upon the individual offices, and in the case of the executive office, the Corporation meeting pre-established financial goals for the year. Those individual non-discretionary awards that did not vest due to failure to achieve goals vest in November 2009. Vesting of the discretionary portion is based upon a number of discretionary items, including overall corporate performance, absolute dollar amount of office contribution and the magnitude of contracts awarded during the prior year and the office backlog as of the end of the year to name the most significant criteria among others. All unvested discretionary options are returned to the Plan for future grants. A total of 239,000 options to purchase shares of common stock vested at January 31, 2001 relative to fiscal 2001. The following table summarizes information with respect to the Plan for the three years ended January 31, 2003:
OPTION NUMBER OF PRICE RANGE SHARES PER SHARE -------------------------- OUTSTANDING AT JANUARY 31, 2000 1,692,083 $0.36 - $1.91 Granted 544,500 $0.40 - $0.53 Cancelled - Reusable (28,500) $0.53 - $0.87 --------- OUTSTANDING AT JANUARY 31, 2001 2,208,083 $0.36 - $1.91 Granted 1,137,500 $0.40 - $0.46 Cancelled - Reusable (234,250) $0.40 - $1.63 Exercised (25,000) $ 0.36 --------- OUTSTANDING AT JANUARY 31, 2002 3,086,333 $0.36 - $1.91 Granted 643,367 $0.19 - $0.46 Cancelled - Reusable (591,500) $0.36 - $1.91 Exercised (5,000) $ 0.36 --------- OUTSTANDING AT JANUARY 31, 2003 3,133,200 $0.19 - $1.63 ========= EXERCISABLE AT JANUARY 31, 2003 1,558,667 $0.19 - $1.63 =========
The weighted average life of the options outstanding at January 31, 2003 and 2002 and the weighted average exercise price of vested options at January 31, 2003 and 2002 was 6.4 years and 6.8 years, respectively, and $0.52 and $0.54, respectively. Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by SFAS No. 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of that Statement. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001: risk-free interest rates of 4%, 5% and 7% in fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively; dividend yield of 0%; volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 1.14, 0.88 and 1.39 in fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively; and a weighted-average expected life of the option of 10 years. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect F-13 the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The Company's pro forma information follows:

The Corporation also maintains the 1990 Stock Option Plan for Employee Directors (the "Employee Directors Plan") which provides for the grant of options to purchase an aggregate of up to 250,000 shares of the Corporation's common stock. Options to purchase 50,000 shares of the Corporation's common stock at an exercise price of $0.65 per share have been granted under the Employee Director Plan. At January 31, 2003 all of the options granted under the Employee Directors Plan were exercisable. The 1990 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "Non-Employee Directors Plan") provides for the grant of options to purchase an aggregate of up to 600,000 shares of the Corporation's common stock. Options to purchase 330,250 shares of the Corporation's common stock at prices ranging from $0.26 per share to $1.39 per share have been granted under the Non-Employee Directors Plan. At January 31, 2003, all of the options granted under the Non-Employee Directors Plan were exercisable. No pro forma information is presented relative to the non-qualified stock option plan, the Employee Director Plan or the Non-Employee Directors Plan as the effect is either immaterial or non-existent. F-14 NOTE 11 - STOCK WARRANTS At January 31, 2003 and 2002, the Corporation had 250,000 fully vested warrants outstanding. The exercise price of the warrants range from $1.20 per share to $2.50 per share expiring in fiscal 2004. These warrants were issued in conjunction with shareholder relations and investment banking agreements. NOTE 12 - PREFERRED STOCK At the Corporation's Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on July 23, 1993, the following matters were approved by a majority of the Corporation's preferred and common stockholders which affected the Corporation's Series A Preferred stock and common stock: a reduction in the Series A Preferred Stock dividend rate from 9% to 2% and the cancellation of the accrued but unpaid dividends and the special voting rights associated with such preferred stock in the event of a certain accumulation of accrued but unpaid dividends thereon; and a recapitalization of the Corporation in order to effect a one for two reverse stock split (the "Recapitalization"). In exchange for the forfeiture of the accrued but undeclared and unpaid dividends, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock were granted a common stock right which, if and when declared by the Board of Directors, will grant to the holders of such common stock rights shares of the common stock of the Corporation. At the May 23, 1995, March 6, 2000 and March 21, 2001 Board of Directors meetings, the issuance of one third of the shares (280,071, 259,696 and 259,696 common shares, respectively) covered by the aforementioned right was approved. At January 31, 2003 and 2002, there were no common stock rights outstanding, respectively. The Recapitalization was contingent upon the Corporation's listing on the American Stock Exchange. The Corporation made a decision not to pursue such a listing; therefore, the Recapitalization was indefinitely postponed. At January 31, 2003, there were 6,000 shares of the Corporation's Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. Cumulative dividends in arrears on the Series A Preferred Stock were approximately $11,000 at January 31, 2003. The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into four shares of the Corporation's common stock at the option of the preferred stockholder. However, if at the time of conversion the Corporation is in arrears on the payment of dividends on such preferred stock, the holder is entitled to receive additional shares of the Corporation's common stock at the conversion price of $2.50 per share, upon conversion, equivalent to the cumulative dividends in arrears. The Series A Preferred Stock is callable at the Corporation's option at a cash price per share of $11.00 plus any accrued and unpaid dividends until the redemption date. The conversion rate on the Series A Preferred Stock is subject to adjustment as a result of certain changes in the Corporation's capital structure or distributions to common stockholders (except for cash dividends permissible under law). NOTE 13 - ACQUISITION Effective May 31, 2001, PDG Environmental, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") with Tri-State Restorations, Inc. ("Tri-State") and Timothy Vitta and Thomas Stevens (collectively "the Principals") for the purchase of selected assets and assumption of contracts of Tri-State. Tri-State owned and operated a business which conducted environmental remediation, demolition and asbestos abatement. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and the results of Tri-State subsequent to June 1, 2001 were included in the Company's results. As consideration for the purchase, the Company paid Tri-State $541,000 in cash, $150,000 in the form of a subordinated note at 6 1/2% interest due May 31, 2002 and 300,000 shares of the Company's common stock (valued at $189,000) and entered into a three-year employment agreement with the Principals that provides for additional compensation in addition to an annual salary. Additional compensation consists of 60% of the annual operating income generated by the former Tri-State operation in excess of $150,000 for the years June 1, 2001 through May 31, 2002 and June 1, 2002 through May 31, 2003 and 60% of the annual operating income generated by the former Tri-State operation in excess of $200,000 for the period June 1, 2003 through May 31, 2004. The additional compensation is payable annually to the Principals on August 31 of each year. No additional compensation was paid for the twelve month period ending May 31, 2002 as the income goal was not met. Additionally, the former majority owner of Tri-State received options for 450,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The options vest at a rate of 150,000 per year beginning June 15, 2002 and each of the two successive years. No vesting will occur in a year that the earnings quota is not reached for the former Tri-State operation, except that if 50% of the earnings quota is reached, 50% of the options will vest for that year and pro rata from 50% to 100%. Any options not earned and awarded for the achievement of the aforementioned earnings quota will vest on June 14, 2010. F-15 The options expire on June 14, 2011. No options vested for the twelve month period ending June 15, 2002 as the earnings goal was not met. The goodwill associated with the acquisition ($339,000) was being amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years and the customer list is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years. Beginning February 1, 2002, in accordance with SFAS 142 amortization of goodwill will cease. Tri-State's revenues for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 were $11,665,000 and $9,588,000, respectively. The following unaudited pro forma condensed results of operations assume that the acquisition of Tri-State was consummated on February 1, 2000.
