SGI International Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements September 30, 1996 (Unaudited) (1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of SGI International (the Company) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 are unaudited. These financialstatements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial position as of September 30, 1996, and the consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 1996. For more complete financial information, these financial statements, and the notes thereto, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1995 included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. (2) ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS The principal businesses of the Company are developing, commercializing, and licensing new energy technologies; and manufacturing automated assembly equipment. The Company's principal assets are related to the LFC (Liquid From Coal) Process. The recovery of these assets is dependent upon future events, including the Company's ability to attract sufficient additional financing needed to fund its portion of the TEK-KOL Partnership, which is responsible for completion and commercialization of the LFC Process. The Company is engaged in continuing negotiations to secure additional capital and financing, and while management believes these negotiations will be successful, there is no assurance thereof. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Projections and Estimates The projections, estimates and opinions of management contained herein relative to the LFC and OCET Processes and to the business of the Company are forward looking statements of management's belief; thus, there can be no assurance that these projections, estimates, or opinions of management will ultimately be correct or that actual results or events will not differ materially from those discussed herein. Further, until agreements are actually executed, LFC plants actually begin construction, the OCET Process is actually commercialized and operating revenues are actually earned, there can be no assurance that such events will occur. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forwardlooking statements, which are made herein, to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Overview The Company reported stockholders' deficits at December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996 of $ 1.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The Company reported stockholders' equity of $1.0 million at September 30, 1996. The improvement of stockholders' equity results from equity sales for cash, and conversion of notes payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities into equity. After excluding AMS's operations, the Company's net loss on a comparative basis for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 has decreased 58% and 49%, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods. Management believes the financial condition of the Company has improved and will continue to improve in the coming months. Many challenges are ahead as TEK-KOL, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Mitsui, Ziegler and the Company commercialize the LFC process. Expenditures for OCET process development are continuing and are expected to increase. The OCET process has been demonstrated in laboratory experiments for a variety of California resids, showing how the distillate yield depends on the resid properties. Venezuelan material is also being tested to determine its separation characteristics. Laboratory work is underway to optimize the process steps for resid derived from the larger petroleum fields, as well as to characterize the OCET products as a function of the processing parameters. This information will be necessary to design a refinery-scale system, capable of processing resids from various crude sources while generating the most valuable final products from the resid. To reach the commercialization stage, a series of demonstration unitsof increasing scale are under development. The continuing need to fund Company operations with equity based financing is causing dilution. Management is committed to accelerating commercialization of the LFC and OCET technologies and increasing cash flows from AMS's operations so that equity-based financing can be minimized. The report of the Company's independent auditors for the year ended December 31, 1995 contains an emphasis paragraph as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. As discussed in Liquidity and Capital Resources, the Company has short-term and long-term liquidity deficiencies. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon successful financing of its immediate working capital requirements and successful commercialization of the LFC and OCET technologies. The Company is engaged in license marketing activities and negotiations to secure additional financing. If immediate working capital requirements are not successfully financed and/or the LFC and OCET technologies cannot be successfully commercialized, then the adverse impact on the business and operations of the Company could be material. Results of Operations Three months ended September 30, 1996 compared to Three months ended September 30, 1995. The Company acquired AMS effective October 30, 1995. AMS recorded net sales, cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expense and other income of $659,000, $805,000,$160,000 and $34,000, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 1996. The following discussion does not include AMS's results of operations for that period. The Company's net loss for the three months ended September 30, 1996 decreased 58% ($1.8 million) compared to the same prior year period. Components of the decrease in net loss are discussed below. Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1996 increased 53% ($94,000) from the same prior year period. The increase relates to efforts expended to develop the OCET process. General and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 1996 decreased 47% ($298,000) from the same prior year period. Personnel and overhead reductions, instituted during the last two quarters of 1995, have caused on-going general and administrative expenses to decrease. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 1996 decreased 93% ($1.7 million) from the same prior year period. Certain LFC process related assets were written down in 1995 based on management's net realizable value estimates. The 1995 write-downs cause depreciation and amortization expense to be lower in future periods. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 1996 decreased 47% ($138,000) from the same prior year period. The conversion of debt into equity during 1995 and 1996, and prior recognition of note discount amortization, have caused interest expense to decrease. Nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to Nine months ended September 30, 1995. The Company acquired AMS effective October 30, 1995. AMS recorded net sales, cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expense and other income of $2.9 million, $2.6 million, $564,000 and $110,000, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The following discussion does not include AMS's results of operations for that period. The Company's net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 decreased 49% ($2.9 million) compared to the same prior year period. Components of the decrease in net loss are discussed below. Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 decreased 59% ($763,000) from the same prior year period. SGI previously incurred LFC process marketing and candidate coal testing expenditures which are now TEK-KOL's responsibility. On-going research and development expenses relate to OCET process development. General and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 decreased 24% ($291,000) from the same prior year period. After adjusting for a 1996 non-cash stock compensation charge of $158,000, on-going general and administrative expense decreased 37% ($449,000). Personnel and overhead reductions, instituted during the last two quarters of 1995, have caused on-going general and administrative expenses to decrease. Legal and accounting expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 increased 57% ($277,000) over the same prior year period. After adjusting for a 1996 non-cash stock compensation charge of $316,000, on-going legal and accounting expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 decreased 8% ($39,000). Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 decreased 81% ($1.9 million) from the same prior year period. Certain LFC process related assets were written down in 1995 based on management's net realizable value estimates. The 1995 write-downs cause depreciation and amortization expense to be lower in future periods. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 decreased 48% ($370,000) from the same prior year period. The conversion of debt into equity during 1995 and 1996, and prior recognition of note discount amortization, have caused interest expense to decrease. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company acquired AMS effective October 30, 1995. The discussion on Liquidity and Capital Resources includes the effect of this transaction unless otherwise indicated. As of September 30, 1996, the Company had current assets totaling $2.2 million, including cash of $1.2 million, and a working capital deficit of $4.3 million. The Company anticipates continued operating losses over at least the next twelve months and has both short-term and long-term liquidity deficiencies as of September 30, 1996. Short-term liquidity requirements are expected to be satisfied from existing cash balances, proceeds from the sale of equity securities and proceeds from joint venture agreements. In the event that the Company is unable to finance operations at the current level, various administrative activities would be curtailed and certain research efforts would be reduced. The Company will not be able to sustain operations if it is unsuccessful in securing sufficient financing and/or generating revenues from operations. The Company's financing activities raised approximately $3.2 million and $2.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. These funds were raised primarily through the private placement of debt and equity securities. The amount of money raised during a given period is dependent upon financial market conditions, technological progress, and the Company's projected funding requirements. The Company anticipates that future financing activities will be influenced by the aforementioned factors. Significant future financing activities will be required to fund future operating and investing activities and to maintain debt service. The Company is engaged in continuing negotiations to secure additional capital and financing, and while management believes these negotiations will be successful, there is no assurance thereof. During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company collected $400,000 of the notes receivable obtained in 1988 from the sale of the Colstrip Project to the Rosebud Energy shareholders. The Company's investing activities were minimal during the nine months ended September 30, 1995. Additional capital contributions to the TEK-KOL Partnership are expected to be required from time to time prior to profitable operations. The Company is required to contribute one-half of any such required capital contributions. The Company does not have material commitments for capital expenditures as of September 30, 1996. PART II.
