Note 1. Basis of Financial Statement Preparation
The accompanying consolidated financial information of Scope Industries and its subsidiaries (“Scope” or the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K to the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended June 30, 2001. The accompanying financial information includes all subsidiaries on a consolidated basis and all normal recurring adjustments that are considered necessary by the Company’s management for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. However, these results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full fiscal year. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

For the six month period ended December 31, 2001, the effective rate for income taxes is 38% of the income before taxes and for the comparable six month period last year the effective rate for income tax benefit is 32% of the loss before taxes. The determination of the income tax or benefit for income tax considers certain permanent differences between taxable income or loss and income or loss as reported using accounting methods generally accepted in the United States of America. Those differences sometimes cause distortions in the relationships between income or loss before income taxes and the provision or benefit for income taxes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended December 31, 2001 and 2000:
The Company incurred a net loss of $182,569, or $0.18 per share, for second the quarter ended December 31, 2001, compared to the previous year’s second quarter net loss of $1,125,505, or $1.09 per share. Total company revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 were $16,358,404 compared to $14,912,894 for the comparable quarter last year. The 10% increase in revenues for the current first quarter over the prior year’s comparable quarter was attributable to both the Waste Material Recycling and Beauty School segments.
Waste Material Recyclingsegment sales for the current quarter increased $2,244,808 or 17% over the comparable quarter last year. The increase was due primarily to a 12% increase in the average selling prices on slightly higher sales volume of recycled dried bakery products. The increase is primarily attributed to the volatility in the commodities market due to reductions in the estimated volume of future corn crops compared to record corn crops produced during the past three years. The average price of corn for the current quarter was approximately $1.90 per bushel compared to $1.92 per bushel for the comparable quarter last year and $1.95 per bushel for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. The average price of corn for the month of January 2002 increased to $1.95 per bushel. The Waste Material Recycling segment generated increased operating profit in the current quarter against an operating loss in the comparable quarter last year due primarily to reduced raw material costs, improved production efficiencies from new capital equipment and slightly higher volume.
Vocational School Grouprevenues increased 16% from the comparable quarter last year due primarily to increased enrollment at the schools. The Vocational School Group had operating income for both the current quarter and the comparable quarter last year. A new school near Las Vegas, Nevada opened in January 2002.
General and administrative expensesfor the Company increased (14%) for the quarter ended December 31, 2001, as compared to the prior year quarter. The increase is due primarily to the increases in employee health benefit costs, workers’ compensation insurance, auto, property, and liability insurance and professional services.
Investment and other incomefor the three months ended December 31, 2001, was $122,165 compared to $476,630 for the comparable quarter last year. Included in the current quarter in investment and other income were gains of $113,721 from the sale of investment securities. Interest income of approximately $94,000 from U.S. Treasury bills comprised most of the remainder of investment income in the current quarter compared to $405,600 for the comparable quarter last year. The reduction in interest income was primarily due to lower interest rates and a smaller investment portfolio. Offsetting the above investment and other income were losses on the disposition of equipment and losses recognized on an investment accounted for by the equity method of accounting.
Interest expensefor the three months ended December 31, 2001, was $50,560 compared to $88,524 for the comparable quarter last year. The interest is primarily related to the Industrial Revenue Bond financing, (includes both interest and amortization of bond financing costs). Interest on the bonds is paid monthly and varies weekly based upon the tax-exempt interest rate in the bond market (2.45% at December 31, 2001).

Waste Material Recyclingsegment sales for the current six months increased $3,424,317 or 13% over the comparable six months last year. The increase was due primarily to a 13% increase in the average selling prices on slightly higher sales volume of recycled dried bakery products. The increase in price is primarily attributed to the volatility in the commodity market due to early reductions in the estimated volume of future corn crops compared to record corn crops produced during the past three years. The average price of corn for the six months was approximately $1.93 per bushel compared to $1.73 per bushel for the comparable six months last year. The average price of corn for the month of January 2002 increased to $1.95 per bushel. The Waste Material Recycling segment generated operating profit in the current six months against an operating loss in the comparable six months last year due primarily to higher average selling prices, reduced raw material costs and improved production efficiencies from new capital equipment.
Vocational School Grouprevenues increased 19% from the comparable six months last year due primarily to increased enrollment at the schools. The Vocational School Group had operating income for both the current six months and the comparable six months last year. A new school near Las Vegas, Nevada opened in January 2002.
General and administrative expensesfor the Company increased 8% for the six months ended December 31, 2001, as compared to the prior year six months.

Interest income of $214,912 from U.S. Treasury bills comprised most of the remainder of investment income in the current six months compared to $675,826 for the comparable six months last year. The reduction in interest income was primarily due to lower interest rates and a smaller interest bearing investment portfolio. Offsetting the above investment and other income were losses on the disposition of equipment and losses recognized on an investment accounted for by the equity method of accounting.
Interest expensefor the six months ended December 31, 2001, was $105,761 compared to $173,538 for the comparable six months last year.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
(continued)
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have used our cash principally to fund our capital expenses and for working capital. We funded our cash requirements principally from operations, the utilization of unappropriated funds from the IRB and proceeds from the sale of investments. During the current six months we expended $8,090,357 for capital projects primarily within the Waste Material Recycling segment. Our working capital ratio of 2.3 to 1 at December 31, 2001 decreased when compared to the June 30, 2001 ratio of 2.6 to 1. The change in components of working capital is mainly attributed to the reduction in Treasury bills used to help finance capital expenditures. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2002 approximating $10,000,000 are planned primarily for the Waste Material Recycling segment. The Company believes that the combination of cash on hand, Treasury bills, investments available for sale and cash flow expected to be generated from operations will be sufficient to fund planned investments and working capital requirements through fiscal 2002.
Subsequent to December 31, 2001, the Company entered into a Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) Revolving Line of Credit with its bank to provide the Company additional future liquidity should the requirement arise. The Line of Credit is for one year with no fees and borrowings under the agreement bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.00% or the banks prime rate minus 0.25%, interest to be paid monthly. The agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants requiring the maintenance of specific consolidated leverage ratios and a minimum net worth. The Company has not drawn upon the line.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Effective July 1, 2001, the Company early adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”). The statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for goodwill and other intangible assets. The early adoption of SFAS No. 142 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In 2001, the Financial Standards Accounting Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 144”) and becomes effective for the Company’s fiscal year starting July 2002. The statement retains the previous cash flow test for impairment and broadens the presentation of discontinued operations. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 is not expected have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition that are not related to historical results are forward looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from those stated or implied in the forward-looking statements. Further, certain forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions of future events, which may not prove to be accurate. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Potential risk and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, general business conditions, unusual volatility in equity and interest rate markets and in competing commodity markets, disruptions in the availability or pricing of raw materials, transportation difficulties, changing governmental educational aid policies, or disruption of operations due to unavailability of fuels or from acts of God.
