Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
The following table sets out the financial condition of the Registrant for the
last fiscal year and the period ended May 31, 1996:
May 31, 1996 August 31, 1995
------------ ---------------

Net Income (Loss) ............................ ($ 696,332) ($ 1,171,365)

Stockholders' Equity ......................... $ 4,359,350 $ 3,285,832
Net loss for the period ended May 31, 1996 was $696,332. There was a net
loss of $1,171,365 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1995, up from a net loss
of $1,092,997 recorded for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1994. The primary
reasons for the loss during the fiscal year ended August 31, 1995 were heavy
-2-
one-time startup costs of the Registrant's subsidiaries. The factors
contributing to this loss are isolated events but may possibly occur again in
the next fiscal year.
The Registrant has experienced growth in terms of projects finished,
marketing activities, and future contracts. Continuing the activities from 1994,
the major areas of activities are in engineering, consultation, and
construction. The former includes property Phase I assessments, site Phase II
investigations, site Phase III remediations, solid wastes and wastewater
treatments. The latter includes underground storage tank (UST) removal and
installation, and construction of remediation facilities. The clients of Amwest
have been primarily in private industries. However, in this period, several
projects have been contracted with the public sector. This trend is anticipated
to continue, reaching a balance between the private and public sectors.
As of the second quarter of 1994 the Registrant had an accumulated volume
of contract completed or in progress of $2,909,081. During the most recent
fiscal year, ending the second calendar quarter of 1995, the Registrant
estimates that it procured an additional $1,643,094 in contracts bringing its
estimated volume on contracts, from inception, to $4,552,175.
Registrant has performed most of its engineering, consultation and
construction in Southern California. All projects of the Registrant have been
finished in a timely manner. The volume of work available to the Registrant and
other environmental companies in Southern California and the United States is
increasing. Management of the Registrant can not foresee change in this
condition in the near future. As a result of the aforesaid increase in available
work the Registrant should sustain its present growth for the short term (one
year) and possibly on a long term basis (more than one year).
The Registrant has entered into a joint venture with the city of Beijing,
China. The future of this contract is questionable as the Registrant has, as of
this date, been unable to locate sufficient financing. The existence of this
contract should not impact the regular operation of the Registrant.
During the last fiscal year the Registrant began operation of two of its
subsidiaries, Amwest Bluestar Corporation and Amwest Environmental Engineering
Corporation. The starting costs for these subsidiaries accounted for a
substantial part of the loss incurred by the Registrant. The Registrant
anticipates these subsidiaries, individually, will produce positive cash flow
during the next fiscal year. In addition to Bluestar and Engineering, the
Registrant incurred starting costs for three additional subsidiaries: Amwest
International Corporation, Amwest Manufacturing Corporation, and Amwest
Environmental Sciences Corporation. These subsidiaries are not presently
operating
-3-
entities. Management presently cannot foresee whether these entities may become
profitable. The following chart lists the estimated startup costs for each of
the above named subsidiaries expended in the past fiscal year.
Name Estimated Startup Cost
Amwest Engineering Corporation $150,000.00
Amwest Bluestar Corporation $350,000.00
Amwest International Corporation $150,000.00
Amwest Environmental Sciences Corporation $100,000.00
Amwest Manufacturing Corporation $150,000.00
Plan of Operation
Management believes that the Registrant cannot satisfy its cash
requirements for the next twelve (12) months from its cash flow. In order to
satisfy the need for additional funds the Registrant intends to use its real
property as collateral for a line of credit. It is anticipated that this line of
credit along with funds generated from new and present contracts will be
sufficient to satisfy the financial needs of the Registrant during the next
fiscal year.
Presently the Registrant has several projects in the research and
development stage. These projects include a treatment for "oily sludge", a
process for the manufacturing of products from recycled rubber, and a cryogenic
process for the production of ultra-fine crumb rubber. Ultra-fine crumb rubber
can be used as the basis for most rubber products. As these projects are in
their initial stages, management cannot state with any certainty whether any
project will be completed or result in the generation of income.
