NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION The Company develops, manufactures and sells environmental technology solutions, and is currently focused on the international automotive, transportation and utility engine industries. It manufactures and markets a line of catalytic control products including a boutique line of finished products, proprietary catalytic converter substrates and catalytic conversion technologies for a multitude of applications as well as providing testing and certification services. The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003 filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2004. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting primarily only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2004. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company, however, has sustained continuing operating losses and lacks a sufficient source of revenue, which creates uncertainty about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to continue operations as a going concern and to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities is dependent upon obtaining additional financing sufficient for continued operations as well as achieving and maintaining profitable operations. Management believes its current business plan, if successfully implemented, will allow the Company to continue as a going concern. F6 ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS WORLDWIDE INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK The Company monitors its customer's receivables and while it may, on occasion, request advance payments, it generally does not require collateral from those customers. Three customers of the Company's ESW America, Inc. subsidiary accounted for 25%, 24% and 14%, respectively, of consolidated product revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Three customers accounted for 40%, 21% and 14% respectively, of accounts receivable as of March 31, 2004. Management periodically reviews Accounts Receivable and believes that no reserve or allowance is currently necessary. NOTE 3 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 132 (revised 2003), "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Post Retirement Benefits" ("SFAS 132R"). SFAS 132R revises the disclosures for pension plans and other post retirement benefit plans. The adoption of this statement does not impact the Company's historical or present financial statements, as the Company does not have a pension plan and does not offer any other post retirement benefits. In December 2003, The FASB issued FASB Interpretation ("FIN") No. 46 (Revised December 2003), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46R"), which requires variable interest entities (commonly referred to as SPEs) to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if certain criteria are met. FIN No. 46R is effective immediately for all new variable interest entities created or acquired. The adoption of this statement does not impact the Company's historical or present financial statements, as the Company has not created or acquired any variable interest entities, nor does it expect to in the future. In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 150, "Accounting for Certain Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity". SFAS 150 requires that certain instruments classified as part of stockholders' equity and liabilities be classified as liabilities. The Company reclassified the Class A Special Shares to current liabilities as of October 1, 2003. F7 ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS WORLDWIDE INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 3 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (CON'T) In December 2002, The FASB issued SFAS No. 148 "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation, Transition and Disclosure". SFAS No 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS No. 148 also requires that disclosures of the pro forma effect of using the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation be displayed more prominently and in a tabular format. Additionally, SFAS No. 148 requires disclosure of the pro forma effect in interim financial statements. The adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 148 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company modified its disclosures in its quarterly reports commencing with the quarter ended March 31, 2003, as provided for in the new standard. In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a consensus on EITF No. 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables". EITF No. 00-21 provides guidance on how to account for arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and or rights to use assets. The provisions of EITF No. 00-21 will apply to revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company believes that its current accounting is consistent with the provisions of EITF 00-21 and therefore the provisions of EITF 00-21 do not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF No. 02-16, "Accounting for Consideration Received from a Vendor by a Customer". EITF No. 02-16 provides guidance as to how customers should account for cash consideration received from a vendor. EITF No. 02-16 presumes that cash received from a vendor represents a reduction of the prices of the vendor's products or services, unless the cash received represents a payment for assets or services provided to the vendor or a reimbursement of costs incurred by the customer to sell the vendor's products. The provisions of EITF No. 02-16 apply to all agreements entered into or modified after December 31, 2002. Management does not expect the provisions of EITF No. 02-16 to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. F8 ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS WORLDWIDE INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 3 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (CON'T) In November 2002, the FASB issued FIN No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others". FIN No. 45 requires that a liability be recorded in the guarantor's balance sheet upon issuance of a guarantee. In addition, FIN No. 45 requires disclosures about the guarantees that an entity has issued, including a reconciliation of changes in the entity's product warranty liabilities. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of FIN No. 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, irrespective of the guarantor's fiscal year-end. The disclosure requirements of FIN No. 45 are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The Company does not guarantee the indebtedness of others, therefore there will not be any impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and there is no need for the Company to modify its disclosures herein as required. In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". SFAS NO. 146 nullifies the accounting for restructuring costs provided in EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)". SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured at fair value only when incurred. In addition, one-time service termination benefits should be recognized over the period employees will render service, if the service period required is beyond a minimum retention period. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. Management does not expect that the application of the provisions of SFAS No. 146 will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. NOTE 4 - ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK In March 2004, the Company received $210,106 from the exercise of 1,400,706 warrants to purchase 700,353 shares of common stock. The warrants were issued as a result of Unit Placements in 2002 and 2003 in which participants received one warrant for each unit purchased, that allows for the purchase of one-half share of common stock for each share of common stock purchased in the Unit Placement. Each warrant has an exercise price of $0.15, and can only be exercised in even lots for full shares. F9 ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS WORLDWIDE INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 5 - STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANT GRANTS The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS No. 123), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" since its inception and adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB No. 123", in December 2002. In conjunction with the adoption of these standards, the Company will continue to apply the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" with pro forma disclosure of net income and earnings per share as if the fair-value based method prescribed by SFAS No. 123 had been applied. In general, no compensation cost related to the Company's non-qualified stock option plan is recognized as options are issued for no less than 85% of fair market value on date of grant. In August 2003, the board of directors ratified the issuance of 650,000 options at an exercise price of $0.27 (fair-market-value on date of grant) per share as compensation for their service on the board. The options expire ten years from the date of grant and vest over a three-year period. In November 2003, the board of directors ratified the employment contract of the Chief Executive Officer, which included the granting of 2,000,000 options at an exercise price of $0.66 (110% of fair-market value on the date of grant) per share. The options expire in five years from the date of grant and vest over a two-year period with one-third vesting immediately and thereafter on the first and second anniversary of the employment contract provided the contract is in force and effect. In December 2003, the board of directors ratified the issuance of 25,000 options at an exercise price of $0.17 (fair-market value at the date of grant) and 85,000 options at an exercise price of $0.60 (fair-market value at the date of grant) to certain key employees during the year. These options expire three years from the date of grant. On April 30, 2004, the then Chief Executive Officer resigned from the Company effective May 1, 2004. Consequently, all unvested options granted to him lapsed. The fair-market value (determined under the Black-Scholes method) was approximately $1,200,000 of which $500,000 was reflected as pro-forma compensation expense in the pro forma information presented for the year ended December 31, 2003. The $700,000 balance, which will no longer vest, is not reflected in the accompanying pro forma data. (See Note 8). F10 ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS WORLDWIDE INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 5 - STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANT GRANTS (CON'T) Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option plan been determined on the fair value at grant date consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss and loss per share would have been as follows: PRO FORMA INFORMATION THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004 2003 ------------- ------------ Net loss - as reported $ (343,900) $ (114,916) Deduct: Total stock-based compensation expense determined under fair value based method, net (18,312) -- ------------- ------------ Net earnings - pro forma $ (362,212) $ (114,916) ============= ============ Basic and diluted loss per share - as reported $ (0.007) $ (0.002) ============= ============ pro forma $ (0.007) $ (0.002) ============= ============ SFAS No. 123 requires that the fair value of options and warrants issued to non-employees for goods and services be recorded in the financial statements as an expense. NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS During the three-months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company paid shareholders and their affiliates $6,746 and $10,757, respectively (in addition to salaries and reimbursement of business expenses) for various services rendered. No one transaction or combination attributed to one individual or entity exceeded $60,000 on an annual basis. F11 ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS WORLDWIDE INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 7 - LITIGATION The Company was advised in December 2003 that a statement of claim was filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against it, a current director and others alleging that it and other parties released and disseminated false and misleading statements about its business from on or about March 1999 through March 2000. The complaint seeks damages of $100,000,000 and punitive damage of $20,000,000. ESWW has not yet been served with the statement of claim and believes the claims to be without merit. If served, the Company intends to contest the claims vigorously. In January 2002, an action was filed in Ontario, Canada against the Company for breach of an agreement claiming approximately $50,000 plus costs. ESWW is defending itself against this action. It is the determination of management that the final determination of this claim will not have a material effect on the financial position or operating results of the Company. The Company received a letter in February 2004 seeking an amount due of $192,000 per the terms of a consulting agreement. No legal action has been instituted to date, and the Company intends to vigorously contest any claims related to this matter. NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The Company announced on May 3, 2004 the appointment of David Johnson as its interim President and Chief Executive Officer and Nitin Amersey as its interim Chairman of its Board of Directors. Both appointments were effective May 1, 2004. The Company also announced that effective April 30, 2004, John A. Donohoe, Jr. had resigned from his position as Chief Executive Officer, President, interim Chief Financial Officer and as a member of the Company's Board of Directors to pursue other business opportunities. Mr. Donohoe resigned from his positions without any dispute or disagreement with the Company and its business practices or policies. F12 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB. This Form 10-QSB contains certain forward-looking statements regarding, among other things, the anticipated financial and operating results of the Company. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release any modifications or revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. In connection with the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company cautions investors that actual financial and operating results may differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. GENERAL The Company develops, manufactures and sells environmental technology solutions, and is currently focused on the international automotive, transportation and utility engine industries. It manufactures and markets a line of catalytic control products including a boutique line of finished products, proprietary catalytic converter substrates and catalytic conversion technologies for a multitude of applications as well as providing testing and certification services. The Company has developed commercially viable catalytic converter technology for both diesel and gasoline products. The combined technologies of the wire mesh substrate and the wash coat forms the basis for the woven stainless steel mesh catalytic converter. This product can be produced in almost any size and shape. The wire mesh substrate creates a turbulent environment, which increases catalytic activity and serves as a filter of particulate matter, important in diesel emission control. The Company's products have been extensively tested and management believes they demonstrate superior performance to comparable competing products. ESW's customers have applied the Company's products to meet their own needs, and have, in certain instances, received certification by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and other authorities. Customers have had their engines certified using the Company's Clean Cat (R), Pro Cat (TM), Quiet Cat (TM) and Air Sentinel (TM) products. The Company's products are now being marketed both domestically and internationally, including in such countries as China, India and Mexico. 13 ESW is in full compliance with ISO 9001:2000, the ISO standards developed by the International Organization for Standardization which provide an international benchmark for quality systems and foundation for continuous improvement and assurance in design, development and manufacturing. The ISO mandates that the Company follow strict quality guidelines, administrative protocol and safety procedures to a recognized international standardized code. ISO auditors confirm compliance by auditing the Company periodically. The Company passed its most recent audit in November 2003, and is in full compliance with the ISO requirements. Management considers an ISO certification essential for the Company to do business with many export customers. ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS No new accounting pronouncements have been issued during the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 that would have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. The Company has reviewed the status of its accounting pronouncements and believes there are no significant changes from that disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003, except as provided in this Form 10-QSB. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004 AND 2003: The Company has continued to expand its product offerings to meet the needs of its existing customers and to expand its customer base. While it has been successful in expanding its customer base, there may still be occasions when the Company experiences reduced revenue, due to the timing and other needs of its customers. While the Company presently has adequate resources to carry on its existing work on hand, it does not deem it advisable at this time to produce large amounts of completed inventory significantly in advance of known customer requirements. The Company's first quarter in Fiscal 2004, while disappointing, was in line with previous expectations. Revenue decreased to $495 thousand from $547 thousand or 9.5% from the year-ago period, however, much of this was attributable to the continuation of the CARB and EPA certification program begun in mid 2003. Gross profit declined from $280,530 to $205,953 or from 51% to 42% of sales; however, more than half of this decrease relates to product mix issues in which a larger volume of higher margin products were sold in the year ago period as compared to the current period. The Company added professional and other personnel necessary to complete its certification programs and the anticipated expansion of its operations upon the completion of the certification process. The Company also experienced increases in the costs of steel materials and precious metals used in its products. These factors contributed to the $23 thousand (8%) increase in cost of sales from the year-ago period. 14 Operating costs in the period increased to $550 thousand from $395 thousand or nearly 40%. Much of that increase (83%) relates to compensation costs as Officers Salaries increased to $131 thousand (254%) from $37 thousand in the year-ago period as a result of the Employment Contracts that were finalized and became effective in the fourth quarter of 2003 and, as discussed above, the addition of professional and other personnel the Company believes will be necessary as it commences the planned expansion of its operations upon the completion of its certification programs. Non-officer compensation costs are included in Marketing, Office and General costs, and represent an increase of $34,115 or 33% over the prior period. The 263% increase in Consulting is directly attributable to the ongoing certification programs, and as this program is completed, these costs should decrease. Most of the remaining increase in operating costs represent indirect costs related to the certification programs and are not material. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES: The Company's cash and liquidity position actually improved during the quarter primarily as a result of the issuance of shares of common stock resulting from the exercise of warrants. Additionally, ESWW has continued to collect its receivables and reduced the average age of its receivables from 78 days to 56 days or by more than 28%. Improvements to the Company's financial position achieved through the Unit Placement in 2002 and 2003 and improved operating results facilitated ESWW's ability to reduce its trade payables, however, the deferral of a portion of Officers Salaries as provided by the terms of the Employment Contracts referred to above partially offset the reduction in trade payables, thus an actual increase in current liabilities was incurred. The Company's capital expenditures in the period were virtually nil, but as the anticipated ramp-up in its operations occurs later in Fiscal 2004, significant expenditures may be required. The loss of $344 thousand was funded by $83 thousand in non-cash expenses (Depreciation and Amortization), reductions in receivables ($69 thousand), inventory ($54 thousand), accrued expense ($92 thousand) and the exercise of warrants ($210 thousand); which was partially offset by the continued reduction in trade payables ($50 thousand). The foregoing factors resulted in the Company's cash position increasing by $114 thousand in the period. Management understands that profitable operations are essential for the Company to become viable. The Company is, at present, unable to quantify the financial benefits to be gained from the previously announced long-term marketing, distribution and preferred supplier agreements entered into with the Fleetguard Emission Solutions subsidiary of Cummins, Inc.; however, management is optimistic about the significant potential opportunities presented by these agreements. 15 Should the Company receive a large order (defined as one in which monthly production and deliveries exceeds $1 million), it would need to either negotiate extremely favorable payment terms providing for at least some advance payment or it will need to obtain either debt or equity financing to allow it to purchase sufficient materials and otherwise meet its working capital needs. There can be no assurance that such financing would be available. ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES The Company is not required to furnish the information required by Item 307 of Regulation S-B until its year ended December 31, 2005. PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS: The Company was advised in December 2003 that a statement of claim was filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against it, a current director and others alleging that it and other parties released and disseminated false and misleading statements about its business from on or about March 1999 through March 2000. The complaint seeks damages of $100,000,000 and punitive damage of $20,000,000. ESWW has not yet been served with the statement of claim and believes the claims to be without merit. If served, the Company intends to contest the claims vigorously. In January 2002, an action was filed in Ontario, Canada against the Company for breach of an agreement claiming approximately $50,000 plus costs. ESWW is defending itself against this action. It is the determination of management that the final determination of this claim will not have a material effect on the financial position or operating results of the Company. The Company received a letter in February 2004 seeking an amount due of $192,000 per the terms of a consulting agreement. No legal action has been instituted to date, and the Company intends to vigorously contest any claims related to this matter. 16 ITEM 2. CHANGE IN SECURITIES: NONE ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES: NONE ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS: NONE ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION: The Company announced on May 3, 2004 the appointment of David J. Johnson as its Interim President and Chief Executive Officer and Nitin M. Amersey as its Interim Chairman of its Board of Directors. Both appointments are effective May 1, 2004. Mr. Amersey is the owner of Langford Business Services LLC, a company that is party to a sales representative agreement dated March 15, 2002, of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, ESW Canada, Inc. whereby Langford and its subagent, Hudson Engineering Industries Pvt. Ltd. (Bombay), also owned by Mr. Amersey and his family, serve as ESW Canada's exclusive representative in India for the sale and after sale support of certain products of the Company in India. To date, no sales transactions have taken place under the agreement between ESW Canada and Langford. The Company also announced that effective the close of business April 30, 2004, John A.
