Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries after elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions. While the financial information is unaudited, the statements in this report reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring, that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods covered and of the financial condition of the Company at the dates of the balance sheets. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of performance for the entire year. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996. 2. Restructuring Charges In the fourth quarter of 1996, senior management reviewed the Company's operational and administrative functions for the purpose of further improving the Company's competitiveness and overall profitability. Based on this review, the Company's Board of Directors approved a strategic restructuring plan to reposition the Company to fully exploit its core strengths in engineering, design, construction, operations and maintenance. The plan included closure or downsizing of underperforming offices, write-off of employment contracts for former employees no longer participating in the Company's affairs and employee severance. During the quarter ended March 31, 1997, $98,000 relating to the restructuring were incurred and charged against the established reserve. At March 31, 1997, $940,000 of accrued restructuring costs, net of a $75,000 reduction due to earlier than anticipated subleasing of abandonded office space, remained and were included in other accrued liabilities. To-date, $217,000 of restructuring costs related to these actions have been incurred. In December 1994, as a result of changes in senior management, the Company's Board of Directors approved a corporate restructuring plan which included the write off of employment contracts with no current or future value, termination of personnel, and the elimination or abandonment of excess and underperforming assets and facilities. During the quarter ended March 31, 1997, $27,000 of cash charges related to the 1994 restructuring were incurred and charged against the established reserve, bringing the reserve to a zero balance. To-date, $1,169,000 of restructuring costs related to these actions have been incurred. 6 3. Acquisition On February 29, 1996, EMCON acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Organic Waste Technologies, Inc. ("OWT"), a Cleveland based construction, equipment and operations and maintenance company with significant expertise in solid waste management. The following summarizes the unaudited pro forma net revenue, net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share for the combined company for the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 had the acquisition occurred at the beginning of each period presented. (unaudited) Three months ended March 31, ---------------------------- (in thousands) 1997 1996 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Net revenue $27,581 $27,506 Net income (loss) 691 (282) Income (loss) per share $ 0.08 $ (0.03) ------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Credit Agreement In conjunction with the acquisition of OWT, the Company entered into a $20,000,000 secured credit agreement with its existing commercial bank, replacing its previous $10,000,000 unsecured line of credit. Under the new agreement, the Company borrowed $10,000,000 on a long term basis with an interest rate not to exceed the prime rate. Principal is to be amortized over seven years, but with any unpaid amount finally due and payable on June 30, 2001. The remaining $10,000,000 under the credit agreement is available on a line of credit basis for working capital purposes (with up to $5,000,000 available for non-working capital purposes). The line of credit component of the credit agreement expires on May 31, 1997. 5. Litigation As a professional services firm engaged in environmental-related matters, the Company encounters potential liability, including claims for significant environmental damage in the normal course of business. The Company is party to lawsuits and is aware of potential exposure related to certain claims, but in the opinion of management the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 6. Income Per Share Income per share for the three months ended March 31, 1997 is based on the weighted common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding using the treasury stock method. Common equivalent shares include shares issuable under the Company's stock option plans. Primary and fully diluted earnings per share are substantially the same. 7 Income per share for the three months ended March 31, 1996 is based on the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding using the modified treasury stock method. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which is required to be adopted on December 31, 1997. At that time, the Company will be required to change the method currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods. Under the new requirements for calculating primary earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded. The impact is expected to result in no change to the primary earnings per share for the first quarter ended March 31, 1997 and a $0.01 decrease to the primary earnings per share for the first quarter ended March 31, 1996. The impact of Statement 128 on the calculation of fully diluted earnings per share for these quarters is not expected to be material. 7. Other In 1994, the Company converted to a fifty-two/fifty-three week fiscal year which will result in a fifty-two week year in 1997. The Company's year end falls on the Friday closest to the last day of the calendar year. The Company also follows a five-four-four week quarterly cycle. For convenience, the accompanying financial statements have been shown as ending on the last day of the calendar period. 8 EMCON ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results Of Operations. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS NET REVENUE. Net revenue for the first quarter of 1997 totalled $27,581,000, a 12.1% increase from $24,607,000 for the first quarter of 1996. The increase in net revenue is due in part to the inclusion of OWT for all of the first quarter of 1997, as compared to only one month of the first quarter of 1996 following its acquisition on February 29, 1996. Excluding the net revenue contribution of OWT ($6,417,000 and $1,675,000 in the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively), net revenue for the quarter totalled $21,164,000; a 7.7% decrease from net revenue of $22,932,000 in the first quarter of 1996. The decrease in net revenue is primarily attributable to lower demand for the Company's professional services in the Company's South and Southwest areas combined with the planned reduction in headcount companywide throughout 1996, offset in part by stronger demand for such services in the Company's North and Northwest areas. DIRECT EXPENSES. Direct expenses include compensation for billable hours for technical and professional staff and other project related expenses as well as direct labor and materials for in-house laboratory testing and construction activities. Direct expenses for the first quarter of 1997 totalled $12,606,000, a 30.1% increase from the $9,689,000 for the same period in 1996. Excluding the impact of OWT, direct expenses for the quarter totalled $8,105,000, a 5.1% decrease compared to direct expenses of $8,544,000 in the first quarter of 1996. Excluding the impact of OWT, direct expenses as a percent of net revenue increased to 38.3% in the first quarter of 1997 compared to 37.3% in the first quarter of 1996. INDIRECT EXPENSES. Indirect expenses include salary compensation for nonbillable hours for professional, technical and administrative staff, and general administrative expenses such as rent, bonuses, benefits, insurance, legal and depreciation. Indirect expenses for the first quarter of 1997 totalled $14,226,000, a 3.9% decrease from indirect expenses of $14,799,000 in the first quarter of 1996. Excluding the impact of OWT, indirect expenses for the quarter totalled $12,648,000, a 12.5% decrease compared to indirect expenses of $14,459,000 in the first quarter of 1996. Excluding the impact of OWT, indirect expenses as a percent of net revenue decreased to 59.7% in the first quarter of 1997 compared to 63.1% in the first quarter of 1996. The decrease was attributable to improved utilization of technical and professional staff as well as the positive impact of cost containment and restructuring measures put in place at the end of 1996. ADJUSTMENT OF RESTRUCTURING ACCRUAL. During the first quarter of 1997, the Company reversed an accrual of $75,000 made as part of the restructuring actions taken in the fourth quarter of 1996. The year end accrual was revised to reflect lower than anticipated costs associated with the abandonment and subsequent sublease of certain office space. 9 LOSS ON DISPOSITION OF LABORATORY. During the first quarter of 1997, the Company completed the sale of its laboratory subsidiary, Columbia Analytical Services, Inc. ("CAS"), to the employees of CAS for $4,000,000 in cash, CAS promissory notes for $3,219,000 and a continuing preferred stock interest in CAS valued at $500,000. The Company paid to CAS $206,000 in cash for retired employee contracts and for accelerated vesting of stock options and other non vested stock rights. In anticipation of completing the sale, the Company recognized impairment in the value of its investment in CAS of $3,327,000 at the end of 1996. As a result of several pre closing adjustments, the Company recognized an additional loss on disposition of CAS in the first quarter of $333,000. GAIN ON SALE OF ASSETS. During the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Company completed the sale of one of its landfill gas-to-energy projects, including the related leasehold production rights and associated machinery and equipment. The Company recognized a gain on disposition of the project of $826,000. INCOME FROM OPERATIONS. Income from operations for the first quarter of 1997 was $1,317,000 compared to $119,000 during the comparable period last year. INTEREST INCOME (EXPENSES) NET. The Company recorded interest expense, net of interest income of $237,000 in the first quarter of 1997 compared to $22,000 in the comparable quarter last year. The increase was due primarily to increases in long term debt incurred for purposes of financing the acquisition of OWT in February of 1996 and the subsequent expansion of one of OWT's landfill gas-to-energy projects. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES During the first quarter of 1997, the Company financed its operations principally from cash and marketable securities on hand, cash generated from the disposition of assets, and from the return on investment on its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. Net cash used for operating activities during the first quarter of 1997 was $1,105,000. At March 31, 1997, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $7,901,000. In conjunction with the acquisition of OWT, the Company entered into a $20,000,000 secured credit agreement with its existing commercial bank, replacing its previous $10,000,000 unsecured line of credit. Under the new agreement, the Company borrowed $10,000,000 on a term loan basis with interest at a managed rate not to exceed the prime rate. Principal is to be amortized over seven years, but with any unpaid amount finally due and payable on June 30, 2001. In April 1997, following the infusion of cash upon the sale of CAS, the Company prepaid, on an accelerated basis, $3,000,000 of the then outstanding principal balance of the term loan. The remaining $10,000,000 under the Credit Agreement is available for working capital purposes (with up to $5,000,000 also being available for non-working capital purposes). The line of credit component 10 of the Credit Agreement expires on May 31, 1997. The Company expects to renew the line of credit component of the Credit Agreement prior to its expiration. The Credit Agreement contains provisions with respect to the payment of dividends and the level of capital expenditures and requires the maintenance of specific levels of working capital, tangible net worth and continued quarterly profitability. The Company invested $1,157,000 in the first quarter of 1997 in additions to property and equipment; mainly computers, field equipment and the expansion of its equipment fabrication facilities. The Company believes that its cash on hand and cash generated from operations, together with its available bank financing will be sufficient to meet the Company's capital needs for at least the next twelve months. 11 EMCON PART II OTHER INFORMATION Items 1. - 4. Not applicable. Item 5. Other Information On April 30, 1997, EMCON acquired all of the outstanding equity of National Earth Products, Inc. ("NEP") for cash of $860,780 and the issuance of EMCON's convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $800,000. Approximately 50% of the convertible notes are due on May 1, 2000 with the balance due on May 1, 2002. The indebtedness bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum and is convertible into EMCON Common Stock at a conversion price of $6.50 per share. The former shareholders of NEP are also eligible to receive additional earn out payments in each of the three twelve month periods immediately following the acquisition; which earn out payments are tied to the financial performance of NEP. NEP is a Pennsylvania-based solid waste construction company with specialized expertise in securing and processing natural landfill cover and liner materials, such as dirt and clay. Item 6.
