Business (a) General Development of Business Thermo Remediation Inc. (the Company or the Registrant) is a national provider of environmental-liability management services. Through a nationwide network of offices, the company offers these and related consulting services in five areas: industrial remediation, nuclear remediation, waste-fluids collection and recycling, soil remediation, and environmental-management and information-technology systems. The Company's industrial remediation businesses provide consultation, engineering, and on-site services to help clients manage problems associated with environmental compliance, waste management, and the remediation of industrial sites contaminated with organic and inorganic wastes and residues. The Company also performs the cleanup of hazardous waste sites for government and industry as a prime construction contractor and completes predesigned remedial action contracts at sites containing hazardous, toxic, and radioactive wastes. In May 1997, the Company acquired TriTechnics Corporation, an environmental engineering and consulting firm, for $1.6 million in cash. In the nuclear-remediation area, the Company provides services to remove radioactive contaminants from sand, gravel, and soil, as well as health physics services, radiochemistry laboratory services, radiation dosimetry services, radiation-instrument calibration and repair services, and radiation-source production. In November 1997, the Company acquired Benchmark Environmental Corporation, a provider of nuclear-remediation and waste-management services to government and private sector clients, for 85,106 shares of the Company's common stock, valued at $450,000, and $2,900,000 in cash. The Company also collects, tests, processes, and recycles used motor oil and other industrial fluids. The Company designs and operates facilities for the remediation of nonhazardous soil, and operates such facilities on the East and West Coasts. The Company also designs and operates mobile equipment for the on-site remediation of such wastes. The Company develops and implements management and computer-based systems that aid in the collection and application of environmental data, helping to establish or improve a customer's environmental-compliance program while controlling the related costs. In August 1997, the Company acquired RPM Systems, Inc., an environmental-management, planning, and information technology company, for 374,507 shares of the Company's common stock, valued at $2,400,000, and $600,000 in cash. The Company was incorporated in November 1991 as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Thermo TerraTech Inc. On October 1, 1993, pursuant to a reorganization, Thermo TerraTech contributed to the Company certain additional assets and liabilities pertaining to its soil-remediation business. As of April 4, 1998, Thermo TerraTech owned 8,874,551 shares of the common stock of the Company, representing 69% of such stock 2 outstanding. Thermo TerraTech intends, for the foreseeable future, to maintain at least 50% ownership of the Company. A publicly traded subsidiary of Thermo Electron Corporation, Thermo TerraTech provides industrial outsourcing services and manufacturing support encompassing a broad range of specializations, including infrastructure engineering, design and construction, environmental compliance, laboratory testing, and metal treating. As of April 4, 1998, Thermo Electron owned 193,900 shares of the Company's common stock, representing 1.5% of such stock outstanding. Thermo Electron develops, manufactures, and markets analytical and monitoring instruments; biomedical products including heart-assist devices, respiratory-care equipment, and mammography systems; paper recycling and papermaking equipment; alternative-energy systems; industrial process equipment; and other specialized products. Thermo Electron also provides industrial outsourcing, laboratory, and metallurgical services, and conducts advanced-technology research and development. Thermo Electron and Thermo TerraTech may purchase shares of the Company's common stock from time to time in the open market or in negotiated transactions. During fiscal 19981, Thermo Electron and Thermo TerraTech purchased 8,500 shares of the Company's common stock in the open market for $62,000. Forward-looking Statements Forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, are made throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K. For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," "seeks," "estimates," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. There are a number of important factors that could cause the results of the Company to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements, including those detailed under the heading "Forward-looking Statements" in the Registrant's Fiscal 1998 Annual Report to Shareholders, which statements are incorporated herein by reference. (b) Financial Information About Industry Segments The Company conducts business in one industry segment: environmental services. Within this segment, the principal products and services are industrial-remediation services, nuclear-remediation services, waste-fluids collection and recycling services, soil-remediation services, and environmental-management and information-technology systems. - -------- 1 References to fiscal 1998, 1997, and 1996 herein are for the fiscal years ended April 4, 1998, March 29, 1997, and March 30, 1996, respectively. 3 (c) Description of Business (i) Principal Products and Services Industrial-remediation Services The Company provides environmental consulting and remediation construction management to clients in the transportation, refining, chemical, wood treating, gas, and electric utility industries across the nation. Through its consulting, engineering, and on-site services, the Company offers a broad array of remedial solutions, all of which are applied from a risk-management perspective, to help clients manage problems associated with environmental compliance, waste management, and the remediation of industrial sites contaminated with various wastes and residues. The Company provides particular expertise in bioremediation, and in managing wastes from manufactured-gas plants, refineries, and railroad properties. The Company performs cleanups of hazardous waste sites for government and industry as a prime construction contractor and completes predesigned remedial action contracts at sites containing hazardous, toxic, and radioactive wastes. Under contracts with federal and state governments, and other public- and private-sector clients, the Company also provides project management and construction services for the remediation of hazardous and nonhazardous wastes. Most of this contract work is obtained through a bid process, with the job being awarded to the lowest qualified bidder. Nuclear-remediation Services The Company provides services to remove radioactive contaminants from soil, as well as health physics services, radiochemistry laboratory services, radiation dosimetry services, radiation-instrument calibration and repair services, and radiation-source production. As part of its radiation and nuclear/health physics services business, the Company provides site surveys for radioactive materials and on-site samples, as well as analysis in support of decontamination programs and dosimetry services to measure personnel exposure. In addition, using its proprietary segmented-gate system technology, the Company removes radioactive contaminants from soil. A substantial part of the Company's health physics services has been performed under the U.S. Department of Energy's remedial action programs. Waste-fluids Collection and Recycling Services The Company collects, tests, processes, and recycles used motor oil and other industrial fluids. In addition, the Company collects and recycles oily water and oil filters. The Company has processing facilities in Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona; Las Vegas, Nevada; Nampa, Idaho; Commerce City, Colorado; and Portland, Oregon from which it operates a fleet of oil and water collection trucks to pick up waste oils and oily water. Each facility consists of a series of tanks set in protective enclosures used to store the fluids before processing. Processing of oil consists of straining, filtering, and blending. 4 Once processed, the oil is sold as burner fuel for a variety of industrial uses, including use in cement and asphalt kilns, industrial furnaces, and as "cutter stock" to make marine diesel fuel for large, oceangoing vessels. Water is processed to reclaim all usable oil and remove solid contaminants until the water meets sewer-discharge standards. Soil-remediation Services The Company designs and operates facilities for the remediation of nonhazardous soil. The Company's soil-remediation centers are environmentally secure facilities for receiving, storing, and processing petroleum-contaminated soils. Each site consists principally of a soil-remediation unit and a soil-storage area. The Company currently provides soil-remediation services at facilities in California, Oregon, Washington, South Carolina, Maryland, and New York. The market for remediation of petroleum-contaminated soils, as with many other waste markets, was created by environmental regulations. The market for soil-remediation services has been driven largely by state programs to enforce the EPA's underground storage tank (UST) regulations and to fund cleanups. UST compliance requirements and attendant remediation costs are often beyond the financial capabilities of individuals and smaller companies. To address this problem, some states established tax-supported trust funds to assist in the financing of UST compliance and remediation. Many states have realized that the number of sites requiring remediation and the costs of compliance are substantially higher than were originally estimated. As a result, several states have significantly reduced compliance requirements and altered regulatory approaches and standards in order to reduce the costs of cleanup. More lenient regulatory standards, reduced enforcement, and uncertainty with respect to such changes have resulted in lower levels of cleanup activity in most states where the Company conducts business, which has had a material adverse effect on the Company's business. In addition, underground and aboveground tank regulations, clean water legislation, and real estate transfer and financing transactions also influence demand for soil-remediation services. Environmental-Management and Information-Technology Services The Company helps public utilities, government institutions, and Fortune 500 companies develop and implement management and computer-based systems that aid in the collection and application of environmental data. By helping to establish or improve a customer's environmental-compliance program, the Company's customized services promote and support the integration of environmental-management functions with everyday business activities. The Company's services help multinational companies accurately estimate and control the cost of their environmental- compliance and health and safety efforts. The Company also develops measurement systems that track clients' progress toward their stated environmental-performance goals. 5 (ii) New Products The Company has made no commitments to new products that would require the investment of a material amount of the Company's assets. (iii) Raw Materials Supplies purchased by the Company are available either from a number of different suppliers or from alternative sources that could be developed without a material adverse effect on the Company's business. To date, the Company has experienced no difficulties in obtaining these materials. (iv) Patents, Licenses, and Trademarks The Company currently owns or has rights under licenses to a number of U.S. patents. Although the Company believes that patent protection provides it with competitive advantages with respect to certain portions of its business and will continue to seek patent protection when appropriate, the Company also believes that its business depends primarily upon trade secrets and the technical and marketing expertise of its personnel. The Company has a perpetual, exclusive, and royalty-free license from Thermo TerraTech to develop, own, and operate soil-remediation centers and to employ mobile remediation equipment incorporating Thermo TerraTech's technology throughout North America (other than in Massachusetts and New Hampshire). (v) Seasonal Influences A majority of the Company's businesses experience seasonal fluctuations. A majority of the Company's soil-remediation sites, as well as the Company's fluids-recycling sites, experience declines in revenues if severe weather conditions occur. Site remediation work and certain environmental testing services may decline in winter months as a result of severe weather conditions. (vi) Working Capital Requirements In general, there are no special credit terms extended to customers that would have a material adverse effect on the Company's working capital. (vii) Dependency on a Single Customer A substantial portion of the Company's nuclear-remediation services have been provided to the U.S. government. One subcontract for the U.S. government accounted for approximately 5% and 10% of the Company's total revenues in fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively. All other U.S. government agencies accounted for 10%, 25%, and 16% of the Company's total revenues in fiscal 1998, 1997, and 1996, respectively. 6 (viii) Backlog The Company's backlog of firm orders was approximately $51,860,000 and $36,927,000 as of April 4, 1998, and March 29, 1997, respectively. The Company believes that substantially all of the backlog at April 4, 1998, will be completed during the next 12 months. Certain of these orders are subject to cancellation by the customer upon payment of a cancellation charge and all federal government contracts are subject to termination at any time by the government without penalty. Soil-remediation and waste-fluids recycling services are provided on a current basis pursuant to purchase orders. Accordingly, there is no backlog for these services. (ix) Government Contracts See Dependency on a Single Customer. (x) Competition Many of the Company's businesses are engaged in highly competitive, regional markets, with competition coming from numerous small firms offering limited services, as well as much larger firms that offer an array of services. In the market for industrial-remediation services, the Company competes with numerous regional and local companies as well as a number of national remediation contractors. The Company competes primarily based on value, with the vast majority of the contracts it seeks awarded on the basis of scope, effectiveness, and cost. Other competitive factors for the Company's industrial-remediation businesses include: reputation; experience; breadth and quality of services offered; and technical, managerial, and business proficiency. The type of nuclear-remediation services offered by the Company are also offered by many large national companies. The Company competes primarily on the basis of its proprietary technology and price. The Company operates the largest fleet of waste-fluids collection vehicles in Arizona and Nevada. The Company competes with numerous smaller and several larger collection companies in its current market primarily on the basis of quality of service and price. Competition in the soil-remediation business is intense. The Company's principal competitors are landfills, including major landfill companies. The Company also currently competes with companies offering a wide range of disposal options, including other fixed-site, thermal-treatment facilities, operators of mobile thermal-treatment facilities, bioremediation and vapor-extraction facilities, and, in certain states, with asphalt plants and brick kilns that use the contaminated soil in their production processes. Competition in the soil-remediation market has always been highly localized, consisting mostly of single-site or single-unit operators. Competitive conditions limit the prices charged by the Company in each local market for soil-remediation services. 7 Pricing is therefore a major competitive factor for the Company. The Company believes competition and price pressure will remain intense for the foreseeable future. Approximately 20 companies offer environmental management and information systems of the type provided by the Company. While some of these companies possess resources similar to those of the Company, many are large, national consulting firms that devote a relatively small percentage of their resources to this area. The Company competes for business, both regionally and nationally, primarily on the basis of reputation and the quality of it services and, to a lesser extent, on price. Less than 10% of the Company's work in this area is obtained through a bidding process. (xi) Environmental Protection Regulations The Company believes that compliance by the Company with federal, state, and local environmental protection regulations will not have a material adverse effect on its capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position. (xii) Number of Employees As of April 4, 1998, the Company employed a total of 952 persons. (d) Financial Information About Exports by Domestic Operations and About Foreign Operations Not applicable. 8 (e) Executive Officers of the Registrant Present Title (Fiscal Year First Name Age Became Executive Officer) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Robert W.
