NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2000
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The condensed
consolidated financial statements included herein 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. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1999.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein
reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to
state fairly the results for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of
a normal recurring nature. The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The results for the six months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily
indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year.
On December 29, 1999 (the "petition date"), the Company and its operating
domestic subsidiaries filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code ("Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy
Court, Central District of California ("Bankruptcy Court"). Since the petition
date, the Company and its operating subsidiaries have been operating as debtors-
in-possession. As a debtor-in-possession, each entity is authorized to operate
its business, but may not engage in transactions outside of the normal course of
business without approval of the Bankruptcy Court. Each entity intends to file a
plan, or plans, of reorganization, which must be voted upon by certain classes
of interests and approved by the Bankruptcy Court. An Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors was formed which has the right to review and object to
business transactions outside the ordinary course and participate in any plan or
plans of reorganization.
The Company is considering various alternatives for the reorganization of the
Company, including disposition of certain consolidated subsidiaries. Segregation
and disposition of all or a portion of assets of a subsidiary could affect the
rights of various classes of creditors. The accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements do not include the effects, if any, which might result from
disposition of all or a portion of assets belonging to a consolidated
subsidiary.
2. LIQUIDITY AND CONTINUING OPERATIONS
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been
prepared on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the
realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course
of business. However, as a result of the Chapter 11 filing and circumstances
relating to this event, including the Company's recurring losses, such
realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities is subject to significant
uncertainty. Further, the Company's ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent upon the confirmation of a plan of reorganization by the Bankruptcy
Court, achievement of profitable operations and the ability to generate
sufficient cash from operations and financing sources to meet the restructured
obligations. Except as otherwise disclosed, the consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects
on the recoverability and classification of assets or the
7
amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible
inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Through a reorganization under Chapter 11, management intends to implement a
program to restructure the operations and capitalization of the Company in order
to strengthen the Company's financial position and operating performance.
3. BASIC NET LOSS PER SHARE
Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares
of common stock outstanding. No diluted loss per share information has been
presented in the accompanying statements of operations since potential common
shares from conversion of stock options and warrants are antidilutive.
4. INVENTORIES
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost of market, cost being determined
using the first-in, first-out method, and consist of the following (in
thousands):

6. SIGNIFICANT CONTRACT
During the second fiscal quarter of 2000 the U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved the
Purchase and Service Agreement between Thermatrix Inc. and The Dow Chemical
Company. The Agreement establishes the terms and conditions for designing and
supplying multiple Flameless Thermal Oxidizer Systems to various Dow plant sites
over the next several years. The first two of these projects, which have a
combined contract value of over $20 million for Thermatrix Inc., are already
underway.
As part of the Agreement Dow has advanced to the Company, on June 8, 2000, $6
million, which will be repaid based upon the progress on one of the two projects
underway. As long as the advance remains outstanding Dow has a first-priority
lien on the Intellectual Property of Thermatrix Inc. In the event of a default,
as defined by the Agreement (which would include, but is not limited to, the
Chapter 11 case being converted to a Chapter 7 by Court order, Thermatrix Inc.
failing to supply milestone deliverable within 30 days of the due date, etc.),
the ownership of the Intellectual Property may become the property of Dow.
7. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
The Company had operations located in the United States and the United Kingdom
until December 1999, at which time the United Kingdom operations were placed
under control of an administrative receiver and the Company currently only has
operations in the United States. Accordingly, 1999 operating results for the
United Kingdom subsidiaries have been reclassified and reported as discontinued
operations. Summary operating results of the discontinued operations are as
follows (in thousands):
For the Three Months Ended

The administrative receiver is proceeding with disposition of United Kingdom
assets and operations. During the quarter ended June 30, 2000, proceeds from
those dispositions totaling $1,332,000 were paid to the secured creditor. The
estimated net realizable value for the discontinued operations is included in
the balance sheet as follows (in thousands):
June 30, December 31,
2000 1999
-------- ------------
Assets of discontinued operations held
for disposition $1,160 $2,229
====== ======
8. SEGMENTS
The Company had operations located in the United States and the United Kingdom
until December 1999, at which time the United Kingdom operations were placed
under control of an administrative receiver. As a result, the United Kingdom
operations are reported as discontinued operations and the Company currently
only has operations in the United States.
The Company's export revenues accounted for 17% and 52% of total revenues for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and were 23% and 59%
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
9. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Information regarding quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market
risks is included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1999 in Item 1-Description of Business, Item 7-Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and in
Note D to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Information regarding
quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risks is also included in
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations contained herein.

Thermatrix Inc. and Subsidiaries
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion contains forward-looking information that involves
known and unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause the Company's actual
results in future periods to differ materially from those indicated herein as a
result of certain factors, including those set forth under "Certain Business
Considerations."
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in
Item 1 of this Quarterly Report and the audited consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto and Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the year ended December 31,
1999, contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
General
- -------
Thermatrix Inc. is a global technology company engaged in the development,
design, manufacture, installation, commissioning and sale of industrial process
and utility equipment and systems to industrial manufacturers, electric
utilities, independent power producers and co-generation plants. The core
component of the Company's technology is its proprietary flameless thermal
oxidizer ("FTO") for the destruction of volatile organic compounds and hazardous
air pollutants (collectively "VOCs").
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Revenues were $7.7 million and $15.1 million, respectively, for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2000 up from $4.3 million and $10.0 million,
respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999. The increase in
revenues was due to increases in revenues at the Company's Wahlco operation of
$4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, and Thermatrix operation of
$1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. These increases were due
to increased bookings and partially due to the 2000 period reflecting an entire
three and six months of Wahlco revenue versus a partial period (from the
acquisition date of January 13, 1999 forward) in the 1999 period.
The Company had a gross margin contribution of $2.4 million and $4.2 million,
respectively, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2000 compared
to a gross margin contribution of $1.0 million and $2.1 million in the
comparable periods in 1999. These increases in gross margin were primarily
attributable to the Company's increased focus on bottom line results over top
line revenue growth. At the Company's Thermatrix operation this focus has been
driven through a movement to cost plus fee contracts versus the previous fixed
price contracts.
Research and development expenses were $7,000 and $76,000, respectively, for the
three months and six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $189,000 and
$398,000 for the comparable periods in 1999. The decrease in research and
development expense was primarily attributable to the Company reducing its
research and development efforts while concentrating on restructuring and
successfully emerging from Chapter 11.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $1.7 million and $3.2
million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively,
from $1.9 million and $4.2 million in the comparable periods in 1999. The
majority of the $200,000 decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was
due to a reduction in goodwill amortization as the goodwill was written off in
December, 1999. The decrease for the six month period was due mainly to
reductions in the Company's Thermatrix operation recruitment/relocation expenses
of $100,000 due to less recruitment activity occurring, $246,000 in the
previously mentioned goodwill write-off, and $86,000 in professional fees along
with
11
$149,000 in legal fees both due mainly to the acquisition of Wahlco in 1999.
These reductions were partially offset by an increase in accounting fees of
$145,000 due to the acquisition of the Wahlco companies. Additionally the
Company's Thermatrix operation experienced a reduction in selling expense of
approximately $340,000 due to the restructuring of that operation's sales
department.
Earnings before reorganization items and provision for income taxes were
$550,000 and $603,000 respectively, for the three months and six months ended
June 30, 2000 which compared favorably to the losses of $1.2 million and $2.6
million for the comparable periods in 1999. This was mainly due to the
previously discussed increased gross margin and reduced operating expenses.
During the June 30, 2000 quarter the Company experienced $1.2 million in costs
related to the Chapter 11 filing, which increased the six months ended June 30,
2000 reorganization cost to $2.6 million. Reorganization items represent costs
and losses incurred in conjunction with the Chapter 11 proceedings initiated in
December 1999.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Total cash and cash equivalents was $6.5 million at June 30, 2000, an increase
of $5.6 million from $922,000 at December 31, 1999. Net cash generated in
operating activities was $5.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2000, due
primarily to the receipt of the previously mentioned $6.0 million from Dow,
compared to the $12.4 million generated during the six months ended June 30,
1999 which was primarily due to the acquisition of Wahlco in January 1999.
There can be no guarantee that sufficient funds will be generated to cover the
negative cash flow position which would have existed without the $6.0 million
received from Dow. Failure to correct the situation will directly impact the
ability to secure new orders, the ability to attract and retain quality staff
and the ability to meet all existing obligations, all of which will have serious
negative consequences for the Company's business, results of operations and
financial condition.
Certain Business Considerations
- -------------------------------
The Company's business is subject to the following risks and uncertainties, in
addition to those described elsewhere.
Outcome of Chapter 11 Process. Each entity intends to file a plan, or plans, of
reorganization, which must be voted upon by certain classes of interests and
approved by the Bankruptcy Court. The Company is considering various
alternatives for the reorganization of the Company, including disposition of
certain consolidated subsidiaries. Segregation and disposition of all or a
portion of assets of a subsidiary could affect the rights of various classes of
creditors. Additionally, management is evaluating other alternatives to fund its
cash requirements. These plans must be voted upon by certain classes of
interests and approved by the Bankruptcy Court. There can be no assurances as
to the timing, approval and eventual outcome of such plans. The accompanying
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of these uncertainties.
Performance under the Dow Agreement. As part of the Agreement Dow has advanced
to the Company, on June 8, 2000, $6 million, which will be treated as an advance
on the contract to be repaid based upon the progress on one of the two projects
underway. As long as the advance remains outstanding Dow has a first-priority
lien on the Intellectual Property of Thermatrix Inc. In the event of a default,
as defined by the Agreement (which would include, but is not limited to, the
Chapter 11 case being converted to a Chapter 7 by Court order, Thermatrix Inc.
failing to supply milestone deliverable within 30 days of the due date, etc.),
the ownership of the Intellectual Property may become the property of Dow. If
the Intellectual Property, which includes the FTO technology, were to become the
property of Dow there would be a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, results of operations and financial condition.
12
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company has been, or may become, involved in litigation
proceedings incidental to the conduct of its business. As a result of the
acquisition and restructuring of Wahlco Environmental Systems, Inc., a number of
claims have been filed. The Company does not believe that any single proceeding
presently pending will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position or its results of operations.
On December 29, 1999 (the "petition date"), the Company and its operating
domestic subsidiaries filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code ("Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy
Court, Central District of California ("Bankruptcy Court"). Since the petition
date, the Company and its operating subsidiaries have been operating as debtors-
in-possession. As a debtor-in-possession, each entity is authorized to operate
its business, but may not engage in transactions outside of the normal course of
business without approval of the Bankruptcy Court. Each entity intends to file
a plan, or plans, of reorganization, which must be voted upon by certain classes
of interests and approved by the Bankruptcy Court. An Official Committee of
