In February 1994, subsidiaries of 3CI acquired all the assets and business operations of American Medical Transports Corporation (AMTC), an Oklahoma corporation, and A/MED, Inc. (A/MED), a Delaware corporation. Both AMTC and A/MED were engaged in businesses similar to that of 3CI. Waste Systems, Inc. (WSI), a Delaware corporation, was the majority shareholder of both AMTC and A/MED (the Companies). Additionally, in February 1994, WSI purchased 1,255,182 shares of 3CI common stock from American Medical Technologies (AMOT). As a result of the transactions described above, WSI became the majority shareholder of 3CI immediately following the acquisition of AMTC and A/MED. For accounting purposes, AMTC and A/MED were considered the acquirer in a reverse acquisition. The combined financial statements of AMTC and A/MED are the historical financial statements of the Company for periods prior to the date of the business acquisition. Historical combined shareholders' equity of AMTC and A/MED has been retroactively restated for the equivalent number of 3CI shares received for the assets and business operations of AMTC and A/MED, and the combined accumulated deficit of AMTC and A/MED has been carried forward. In October 1992, Medical Environmental Disposal, Inc. (MEDI), a wholly owned subsidiary of WSI was merged with and into AMTC, with AMTC being the surviving corporation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared, without audit, by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. As applicable under such regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The Company believes that the presentation and disclosures herein are adequate to make the information not misleading and the financial statements reflect all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of these financial statements. Certain reclasses have been made to prior year accounts to conform to current year presentations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1996, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. (2) NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE Net income (loss) per common share was computed by dividing net income (loss) for each quarterly period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each period. In October 1994, the Company acquired substantially all the assets and assumed certain liabilities of River Bay Corporation. The 865,500 shares issued in connection with the acquisition of River Bay have been excluded from weighted average shares outstanding. The accretion of the Stock Put Option is reflected as a reduction of net income in determining net income to common shareholders. In conjunction with the business acquisition with respect to AMTC and A/MED the weighted average shares outstanding have been retroactively restated for reverse acquisition accounting to reflect the equivalent shares based on the conversion ratio established in the merger 6 7 transaction. The effect of stock options and warrants is antidilutive and is therefore not considered in the calculation of net loss per common share. (3) BUSINESS CONDITIONS The Company has consistently suffered losses for the past several fiscal years, and losses have ontinued in fiscal 1997. As of December 31, 1996, the Company has a negative working capital of $11,020,015 and a net capital deficiency of $4,359,609. The Company has historically relied on Waste Systems, Inc. ("WSI"), the Company's majority stockholder, for funding, and such support was again necessary in fiscal 1996. In the absence of the Company being able to secure third party financing, WSI agreed to provide the Company with a revolving credit facility of $8 million, including deferred interest with cash advances not to exceed $7.4 million, of which $10.1 million including deferred interest and $8.9 million including deferred interest has been drawn as of December 31, 1996 and September 30, 1996, respectively. The note agreement with the majority shareholder signed September 30, 1995 contains various covenants which the Company has been unable to meet and waivers were obtained during fiscal year ended September 30, 1996. Since September 30, 1996, WSI has made additional cash advances to the Company totaling $960,000 including interest. Due to the additional cash advances that have been made in excess of the principal in the original promissory note, the Company entered into a second Revolving Credit Facility of $2.7 million including deferred interest, dated December 20, 1996 with maturity date of February 28, 1997. It is the intent of WSI and 3CI that this Revolving Promissory Note shall evidence all sums owing by 3CI to WSI to the extent that such sums represent advances of funds to 3CI in excess of the maximum limits fixed under that certain $8,000,000 Revolving Promissory Note dated September 30, 1995. The Promissory Note dated September 30, 1995 has a due date of December 31, 1996 of which the Company has requested from and received a 30 day extension until January 31, 1997 to discuss with WSI the possibility of restructuring the terms of the Revolving Promissory Note. WSI's shareholders have indicated that they are not willing to continue this funding into 1997. Furthermore, the Company has attempted and has been unsuccessful to date in obtaining third party financing. In the event the Company and WSI do not come to a resolution on the restructuring of the note and the Company is unable to obtain alternative financing, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to meet its obligations as they become due or realize the recorded value of its assets and would likely be forced to seek bankruptcy protection. Pursuant to a Put Option Agreement with River Bay, as amended (the "Put Option"), the Company, in October 1995, repurchased 300,000 of the shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the acquisition in consideration for its promissory note in the original principal amount of $900,000 ($3.00 per share) and providing for monthly principal payments ranging from $25,000 to $75,000, plus interest, through January 1997. Pursuant to the Put Option, the Company is obligated to repurchase the remaining 565,500 shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the acquisition, at the option of River Bay, from February 1, 1997 until April 1, 1997 for $3.00 per share. The Company has begun discussions with River Bay regarding the exercising of the remaining shares of the Put Option. There is no definitive agreement in place towards a renegotiation of the terms. If no resolution can be achieved during the exercise period the Company is not in a financial position to have the ability to repurchase the shares and would likely be forced to seek bankruptcy protection. The nature and level of competition in this industry have remained at a high level for several years. This condition has produced aggressive price competition and results in pressure on profit margins. The Company competes against companies which may have access to greater capital resources. In order to compete in this industry on a long-term basis and fully realize its business strategy, the Company will require additional and continued financing and other assistance from its current shareholders and if available, from outside sources. There is no assurance that adequate funds for these purposes will be available when needed or, if available, on terms acceptable to the Company. 7 8 (4) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES In May 1995, a group of minority stockholders of the Company, including Patrick Grafton, former Chief Executive Officer of the Company, acting individually and purportedly on behalf of all minority stockholders, and on behalf of the Company, filed suit in James T. Rash, et al v. Waste Systems, Inc., et al, No. 95-024912 in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, 129th Judicial District, against the Company, WSI and various directors of the Company. The plaintiffs have alleged minority stockholder suppression, breach of fiduciary duty and breach of contract and "thwarting of reasonable expectations" and have demanded an accounting, appointment of a receiver for the sale of the Company, unspecified actual damages and punitive damages of $10 million, plus attorney's fees. In addition, Mr. Grafton has alleged unspecified damages as a result of his removal as an officer and director of the Company and the Company's failure to renew his employment agreement in March 1995 and has alleged that such removal was wrongful and ineffective. The Company's insurer has denied coverage in the lawsuit. The Company has denied all material allegations of the lawsuit and believes that the resolution of this matter, including attorneys fees incurred in the Company's defense could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition. However, the outcome of this cannot be predicted, and an adverse decision in the lawsuit would likely have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. In June 1995, the former stockholders of Med-Waste filed suit in James H. Shepherd, et al v. 3CI Complete Compliance Corporation, et al, No. C.V.-95-1441-1 in the Circuit Court of Hot Springs County, Arkansas, against the Company and various current and former officers and directors of the Company. Plaintiffs have alleged violations of federal and state securities laws, breach of contract, common law fraud and negligence in connection with the acquisition of Med-Waste by the Company and have demanded rescission, restitution, unspecified actual damages and punitive damages of $10 million, plus attorney's fees. The case was transferred to the United States District Court of the Western District of Arkansas, Hot Springs Division and in November 1996 was subsequently transferred to the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana. The parties, other than Patrick Grafton, former Chief Executive Officer of the Company, have agreed to settle the suit in consideration for the issuance by the Company to the plaintiffs of 250,000 shares of Common Stock and the payment by the Company to the plaintiffs of 20% to 55% of the pre-tax profits, as defined, attributable to the assets previously acquired from Med-Waste until such time as the shares of Common Stock held by the plaintiffs become freely tradable and the market price of the Common Stock averages at least $2.50 over a period of 42 consecutive days. In addition, the Company and WSI have agreed to repurchase the shares of Common Stock held by the plaintiffs for $2.50 per share in certain events, including the bankruptcy of the Company or in the event WSI ceases to be the largest beneficial holder of the Common Stock. The obligations of the Company to the plaintiffs are secured by a security interest in most of the assets of the Company, and WSI has agreed to subordinate its loans to the Company, and all related security interests, to the obligations, and the related security interests, of the Company to the plaintiffs. The Company is subject to certain other litigation and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management of the Company, the amounts ultimately payable, if any, as a result of such litigation and claims will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. The Company has received a request from the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission that the Company submit an environmental remediation plan for the site of an inactive medical waste incineration facility acquired in the reverse merger. An accrued liability of $50,000 is included in the accompanying balance sheet as of September 30, 1996. The Company operates within the regulated medical waste disposal industry which is subject to intense governmental regulation at the federal, state and local levels. The Company believes it is currently in compliance in all material respects with all applicable laws and regulations governing the medical waste 8 9 disposal business. However, continuing expenditures may be required in order for the Company to remain in compliance with existing and changing regulations. Furthermore, because the medical waste disposal industry is predicated upon the existence of strict governmental regulation, any material relaxation of regulatory requirements governing medical waste disposal or of their enforcement could result in a reduced demand for the Company's services and have a material adverse effect on the Company's revenues and financial condition. The scope and duration of existing and future regulations affecting the medical waste disposal industry cannot be anticipated and are subject to changing political and economic pressures. Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following summarizes (in thousands) the Company's operations: Three Months Ended December 31, ------------------ 1996 1995 ------- ------- Revenues $ 4,674 $ 4,743 Cost of services 3,500 3,829 Depreciation and amortization 358 441 Selling, General, and Administrative Expense 837 962 Income (loss) from operations (21) (489) Other Income (expense), net (324) (195) Net income (loss) (345) (684) THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995: REVENUES: Revenues for the three month period ended December 31, 1996, decreased to $4,673,658 from revenues for the three month period ended December 31, 1995 of $4,743,054. This decrease of $69,396 (1.5%) in revenue is primarily attributable to a reduction in third party incineration revenue. The industry continues to experience a downward pressure in pricing caused by competitors attempting to gain market share through deep discount pricing. COSTS OF SERVICES: Cost of services decreased to $3,499,959 for the three months ended December 31, 1996, compared to $3,828,881 for the three month period ended December 31, 1995. The decreased costs of services was a result of lowered transportation costs, the Company's dependence on third party incineration facilities and conversion of existing large customers from once used cardboard containers to multi-used reusable containers. 9 10 SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES ("SG&A"): Selling, General and Administrative expense for the three month period ended December 31, 1996, decreased to $836,970 compared to $962,416 for the three month period ended December 31, 1995. As a percentage of revenue, the expense for the 1996 period improved to 17.9% compared to 20.3% for the 1995 period. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION expense for the three months ended December 31, 1996 decreased to $357,923 compared to $440,793 for the three months ended December 31, 1995. INTEREST EXPENSE increased to $324,382 for the three month period ended December 31, 1996 from $168,958 for the three month ended December 31, 1995, primarily due to the increase in the note payable from cash advances by the majority shareholders. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES OPERATING ACTIVITIES: The Company has continued to experience a cash loss from operations during the three months ended December 31, 1996. The Company anticipates a working cash deficit from operations for the remainder of fiscal year 1997 and will be dependent upon WSI to fund its continued operations. However, no assurance can be given that WSI will continue to advance funds to the Company and to forego demand for payment of the current indebtedness of the Company to WSI. In the event that WSI fails to advance required funds to the Company or demands payment of current indebtedness, the Company would have limited financing sources and would likely be forced to seek bankruptcy protection. INVESTING ACTIVITIES: During the first fiscal quarter 1997, the Company invested $233,000 for transportation, machinery and equipment, computer equipment and software, and other fixed assets. FINANCING ACTIVITIES: The Company has historically funded its operations, acquisitions and debt service through cash advances from WSI. During fiscal 1994, advances of $3,100,000 and $4,671,973 were converted to 666,670 and 1,557,324 shares of common stock. As a result of its prior expansion and program of acquisitions, the Company has experienced liquidity deficiencies. In October 1994, WSI made a non-interest bearing cash advance of $1,000,000 to the Company, which was converted into 416,667 shares of Common Stock in April 1995. In the first half of 1995, WSI made non-interest bearing cash advances totaling $4,100,000 to the Company. In June 1995, the Company executed a $6,000,000 revolving promissory note, which was utilized in part to repay the advances. This note was renegotiated in September 1995, increasing the total available to $8,000,000 including interest, with principal not to exceed $7,400,000. The note bears interest at the prime rate and is payable on December 31, 1996. Interest is payable in quarterly installments which are automatically added to the outstanding principal balance, if not paid. As of December 31, 1996 and and September 30, 1996, the Company has borrowed $10,134,497 and $8,842,969 respectively under the note. As a significant amount of the advances from WSI have 10 11 historically been non interest bearing, some of which was ultimately converted to equity, interest expense in 1997 has increased significantly as a result of the advances made pursuant to the interest bearing note. Since September 30, 1996, WSI has made additional cash advances to the Company totaling $1,292,000 including interest. Due to the additional cash advances that have been made in excess of the principal in the original promissory note, the Company entered into a second Revolving Credit Facility of $2.7 million including deferred interest, dated December 20, 1996 with maturity date of February 28, 1997. It is the intent of WSI and 3CI that this Revolving Promissory Note shall evidence all sums owing by 3CI to WSI to the extent that such sums represent advances of funds by 3CI in excess of the maximum limits fixed under that certain $8,000,000 Revolving Promissory Note dated September 30, 1995. The Promissory Note dated September 30, 1995 has a due date of December 31, 1996 of which the Company has requested from and received a 30 day extension until January 31, 1997 to discuss with WSI on the possibility of restructuring the terms of the Revolving Promissory Note. This note has been further extended until February 28, 1997. In the event the Company and WSI do not come to a resolution on the restructuring of the note and the Company is unable to obtain alternative financing, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to meet its obligations as they become due or realize the recorded value of its assets and would likely be forced to seek bankruptcy protection. No assurance can be given that, following December 31, 1996, WSI will continue to advance funds to the Company or that WSI will forego demand for payment of the current indebtedness of the Company to WSI after February 28, 1997. In the event that WSI fails to advance required funds to the Company or demands payment of current indebtedness, the Company would have limited financing sources and would likely be forced to seek bankruptcy protection. At this time WSI's shareholders have indicated that they are not willing to continue this funding into 1997. Furthermore, the Company has attempted and has been unsuccessful in obtaining third party financing. 11 12 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.

In connection with an auto accident in July 1996, two suits have been filed against the Company. Ryan O'Neil Youmans & Anita Youmans v. American 3CI, et al, No. CV9604899, was filed in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Alabama, in August 1996. Jimmy R. Whitfield & Rhonda Whitfield v. Paul Bronger, American 3CI, et al. No. CV-96-847, was filed in the Circuit Court of Shelby County, Alabama in November of 1996. These proceedings have just been initiated and little or no discovery has been conducted. Although the Company's insurer has acknowledged that it provides coverage for this accident, the outcome of this cannot be predicted. An adverse decision in the lawsuit is not likely to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Item 2. Changes in Securities - None Item 3.
