See accompanying notes. ISG RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Basis of Presentation ISG Resources, Inc., a Utah corporation (the "Company"), is a wholly owned subsidiary of Industrial Services Group, Inc. ("ISG"). ISG was formed in September 1997 and acquired the stock of JTM Industries, Inc. ("JTM") on October 14, 1997. In 1998, JTM acquired the stock of Pozzolanic Resources, Inc. ("Pozzolanic"), Power Plant Aggregates of Iowa, Inc. ("PPA"), Michigan Ash Sales Company, d.b.a. U. S. Ash Company, together with two affiliated companies, U.S. Stabilization, Inc. and Flo Fil Company, Inc., (collectively, "U.S. Ash"), and Fly Ash Products, Inc. ("Fly Ash Products") (collectively, the "1998 Acquisitions"). Effective January 1, 1999, JTM, Pozzolanic, PPA, U.S. Ash, Fly Ash Products and their wholly owned subsidiaries merged with and into the Company (the "Merger"). Pneumatic Trucking, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Michigan Ash Sales Company, was not merged into the Company. Consequently, Pneumatic became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In 1999, the Company acquired the stock of Best Masonry & Tool Supply ("Best"), Mineral Specialties, Inc. ("Specialties"), Irvine Fly Ash, Inc. ("Irvine"), Lewis W. Osborne, Inc. ("Osborne"), United Terrazzo Supply Co., Inc. ("Terrazzo"), and Magna Wall, Inc. ("Magna Wall") and sold all of the outstanding stock of Pneumatic. In 2000, ISG Canada Limited ("ISG Canada") was formed and became a wholly owned foreign subsidiary of the Company, with fly ash operations beginning in the second half of 2000. In March 2000, the Company acquired directly and indirectly through ISG Manufactured Products, Inc., all of the partnership interest of Don's Building Supply L.L.P. ("Don's). In May 2000, the Company acquired the stock of Palestine Concrete Tile Company, Inc. and certain associated real property (collectively, "Palestine"). In September 2000, the Company acquired certain fixed and intangible assets from Hanson Aggregates West, Inc. ("Hanson"). Each of the above acquisitions was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations of each acquired company have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the respective date of acquisition. These financial statements reflect the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company, for the respective periods presented. The results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for any other interim period or for the year as a whole. 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 and 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. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2000 was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required under generally accepted accounting principles. Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the September 30, 2001 presentation. 2. Description of Business The Company operates two principal business segments: coal combustion product (CCP) management and building materials manufacturing and distribution. The CCP division purchases, removes and sells fly ash and other by-products of coal combustion to producers and consumers of building materials and construction related products throughout the United States. The building materials division manufactures and distributes masonry construction materials to residential and commercial contractors primarily in Texas, California, Georgia and Florida. 3. New Product Development Costs New product development costs consist of scientific research and development and market development expenditures. Expenditures of $427,111 and $433,437 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and September 30, 2000, respectively, and expenditures of $1,454,630 and $1,301,050 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and September 30, 2000, respectively, were made for research and development activities covering basic scientific research and application of scientific advances to the development of new and improved products and processes. Expenditures of $62,916 and $117,750 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and September 30, 2000, respectively, and expenditures of $200,215 and $327,258 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and September 30, 2000, respectively, were made for market development activities related to promising new and improved products and processes identified during research and development activities. The Company expenses all new product development costs as they are incurred. 4. Inventories The Company accounts for inventory balances using the lower of cost or market method on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventories consist of: -------------------- --------------------- September 30, December 31, 2001 2000 -------------------- --------------------- Raw Materials $ 967,608 $ 1,062,436 Finished Goods 6,468,464 5,601,197 -------------------- --------------------- $ 7,436,072 $ 6,663,633 ==================== ===================== 5. Intangible Assets Intangible assets consist of the following: -------------------- -------------------- September 30, December 31, 2001 2000 -------------------- -------------------- Goodwill $ 83,610,925 $ 83,610,925 Contracts 100,227,490 100,227,490 Patents and licenses 3,446,584 3,787,431 Assembled work force 2,815,233 2,815,233 -------------------- -------------------- 190,100,232 190,441,079 Less accumulated amortization (30,524,335) (23,364,593) -------------------- -------------------- $ 159,575,897 $ 167,076,486 ==================== ==================== Amortization is provided over the estimated period of benefit, using the straight-line method, ranging from 8 to 25 years. 6. Long-term Debt Long-term debt consists of the following: ----------------- ----------------- September 30, December 31, 2001 2000 ----------------- ----------------- 10% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 $100,000,000 $ 100,000,000 Secured Credit Facility 64,643,900 65,000,000 ----------------- ----------------- $164,643,900 $ 165,000,000 ================= ================= At September 30, 2001, $64.6 million of the Secured Credit Facility was outstanding, with no amount, as a result of financing covenants, available for additional borrowing under the facility. 7. Other Obligations In connection with the purchase of land for total consideration of $1.5 million during the second quarter of 2001, the Company incurred a purchase money obligation of $1.1 million. The obligation is to be repaid in payments due October 31, 2001 of $300,000, due April 30, 2002 of $400,000 and due October 31, 2002 of $400,000. The obligation accrues interest at 8% annually. The current portion of $700,000 is classified in other current liabilities and the long term portion of $400,000 is classified in other liabilities on the combined balance sheet at September 30, 2001. The $1.1 million is treated as a non-cash item on the statement of cash flows. During the second quarter of 2001, an agreement was reached to terminate a license contract. The termination agreement relieves the Company of future obligations under the license agreement of $300,000 in 2002, $400,000 in 2003 and $500,000 in 2004 and each succeeding year until 2012. 8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which was subsequently amended by SFAS No. 137 "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities- Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS No. 133" and SFAS No. 138 "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The statement also requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 138, is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company adopted SFAS No. 133 in the first quarter of 2001. As expected, the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, "Business Combinations," and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Use of the pooling-of-interests method is no longer permitted. SFAS No. 141 also includes guidance on the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business combination that is completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 no longer permits the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Instead, these assets must be reviewed annually (or more frequently under certain conditions) for impairment in accordance with this statement. This impairment test uses a fair value approach rather than the undiscounted cash flows approach previously required by SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." Intangible assets that do not have indefinite lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 121. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002. Management is currently evaluating the Company's intangible assets in relation to the provisions of SFAS No. 142 to determine the impact that adoption of SFAS No. 142 will have on the Company's results of operations or financial position. Management anticipates that all amortization of goodwill, all amortization of assembled workforce, and a portion of amortization of intangible assets will no longer be recorded in the financial statements. The effect of impairment of assets, if any, has not yet been evaluated. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". SFAS No. 143 requires alternative accounting treatment of assets which are in the process of retirement. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 143 effective January 1, 2002. Management anticipates that there will not be a significant effect on results of operations or financial position. In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This Statement supersedes FASB Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of ," and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations and Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual, and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," for the disposal of a segment of a business (as previously defined in that opinion). This Statement also amends ARB No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements," to eliminate the consolidation for a subsidiary for which control is likely to be temporary. We are required to adopt SFAS No. 144 effective January 1, 2002. The Company is evaluating the impact of this Statement on its financial statements. 9. Other Events On February 24, 1999, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire the stock of Tatum Industries, Inc. (Tatum). As part of that agreement, the Company agreed to loan Tatum approximately $50,000 per month for operating expenses and loan servicing. In November 2000, the note payable to the Company was approximately $1.1 million. In December 2000, Tatum advised the Company that they would not be able to repay the note and the Company's attempt to purchase the outstanding stock of Tatum was unsuccessful. As a result, the Company expensed the $1.1 million note payable in the fourth quarter of 2000. In addition to the option agreement, the Company continued to lease the building and equipment under a month-to-month lease and made expenditures of approximately $1.1 million in leasehold improvements and equipment purchases. The Company is currently in the process of negotiating the sale of its $1.1 million investment in leasehold improvements and equipment to a third party. Based on these negotiations, the Company believes the assets are impaired and,as such, recorded an impairment loss of approximately $292,000 on the assets during the third quarter of 2001. After this impairment loss, the Company believes that the sale of the leasehold improvements and equipment will not result in a significant gain or loss; however, there is a risk that management will be unable to sell the assets for an amount greater than or equal to the remaining net book value of the assets. 10. Reportable Segments As discussed in note 2, the Company operates in two reportable segments: the CCP division and the building materials division. The CCP division consists primarily of three operating units that manage and market CCPs in North America. The building materials division consists of six legal entities, Best, Osborne, Terrazzo, Magna Wall, Palestine, and Don's. The Company's two reportable segments are managed separately based on fundamental differences in their operations. The Company evaluates financial performance based on earnings from operations before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA). The Company derives a majority of its revenues from CCP sales and the chief operating decision makers rely on EBITDA to assess the performance of the segments and make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments. Accordingly, EBITDA is included in the information reported below. Certain expenses are maintained at the Company's corporate headquarters and are not allocated to the segments. Such expenses primarily include interest expense, corporate overhead costs, certain non-recurring gains and losses and intangible asset amortization. Inter-segment sales are generally accounted for at cost and are eliminated in consolidation. The building materials division includes financial data for the six legal entities from their respective dates of acquisition through December 31, 2000. Thus, the building materials division segment information is not comparable for the 2001 and 2000 periods. Don's financial data is included from March 2, 2000, Palestine from May 31, 2000, and Hanson from September 15, 2000. Amounts included in the "Other" column include financial information for the Company's corporate, R&D and other administrative business units. Information about reportable segments, and reconciliation of such information to the consolidated totals as of and for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and September 30, 2000, is as follows:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere herein. General ISG Resources, Inc., a Utah corporation (the "Company"), is a wholly owned subsidiary of Industrial Services Group, Inc. ("ISG"). ISG was formed in September 1997 and acquired the stock of JTM Industries, Inc. ("JTM") on October 14, 1997. In 1998, JTM acquired the stock of Pozzolanic Resources, Inc. ("Pozzolanic"), Power Plant Aggregates of Iowa, Inc. ("PPA"), Michigan Ash Sales Company d.b.a. U.S. Ash Company, together with two affiliated companies, U.S. Stabilization, Inc., and Flo Fil Company, Inc., (collectively, "U.S. Ash"), and Fly Ash Products Inc. ("Fly Ash Products"). Effective January 1, 1999, JTM, Pozzolanic, PPA, U.S. Ash, Fly Ash Products and their wholly owned subsidiaries merged with and into the Company. Pneumatic Trucking, Inc. ("Pneumatic"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Michigan Ash Sales Company, was not merged into ISG Resources, Inc. Consequently, Pneumatic became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In 1999, the Company acquired the stock of Best Masonry & Tool Supply ("Best"), Mineral Specialties, Inc. ("Specialties"), Irvine Fly Ash, Inc. ("Irvine"), Lewis W. Osborne, Inc. ("Osborne"), United Terrazzo Supply Co., Inc. ("Terrazzo"), and Magna Wall, Inc. ("Magna Wall") (collectively, the "Acquisitions") and sold all of the outstanding stock of Pneumatic. In 2000, ISG Canada Limited ("ISG Canada") was formed and became a wholly owned foreign subsidiary of the Company, with fly ash operations beginning in the second half of 2000. In March 2000, the Company acquired directly and indirectly through ISG Manufactured Products, Inc., all of the partnership interest of Don's Building Supply L.L.P. ("Don's). In May 2000, the Company acquired the stock of Palestine Concrete Tile Company, Inc. and certain associated real property (collectively, "Palestine"). In September 2000, the Company acquired certain fixed and intangible assets from Hanson Aggregates West, Inc. ("Hanson"), collectively the "2000 Acquisitions." The Acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations of the respective companies have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the respective acquisition dates. Accordingly, the financial condition and results of operations of the Company after the Acquisitions are not directly comparable to the historical financial condition or results of operations. The Company operates two principal business segments: coal combustion product (CCP) management and building materials manufacturing and distribution. The CCP division purchases, removes and sells fly ash and other by-products of coal combustion to producers and consumers of building materials and construction related products throughout the United States. The building materials division manufactures and distributes masonry construction materials to residential and commercial contractors primarily in Texas, California, Georgia and Florida. The Company's revenues are subject to a pattern of seasonal fluctuation, concurrent with the construction industry. Because the Company's products are used as raw materials in other products, the amount of revenue generated during the year generally depends upon a number of factors, including the level of road and other construction using concrete, weather conditions affecting the level of construction, general economic conditions, and other factors beyond the Company's control. Results of Operations Three Months Ended September 30, 2001 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 Revenues. Revenues were $63.2 million in the third quarter of 2001, representing an increase of $6.6 million or 11.7%, as compared to revenues of $56.6 million in the third quarter of 2000. Product revenues increased to $55.2 million in the third quarter of 2001 from $47.2 million in the third quarter of 2000, representing an increase of $8.0 million or 16.9%. Service revenues decreased to $ 8.0 million in the third quarter of 2001 from $9.4 million in the third quarter of 2000, representing a decrease of $1.4 million or 14.6%. The increase in product revenues in the third quarter of 2001 is both due to the 2000 Acquisitions of building materials entities and to an increase in fly ash revenues. Fly ash revenues increased as more capacity and marketing of fly ash has increased the customer base. The decrease in service revenues is due primarily to a decrease in disposal revenue during the third quarter of 2001 as compared to the third quarter of 2000. Cost of Product Revenues, Excluding Depreciation. Cost of product revenues, excluding depreciation, was $39.3 million in the third quarter of 2001, representing an increase of $4.2 million or 11.9%, as compared to cost of product revenues, excluding depreciation, of $35.1 million in the third quarter of 2000. This increase is due primarily to the increasing price of materials procured for sale and increases from the 2000 Acquisitions. Cost of product revenues, excluding depreciation, expressed as a percentage of product revenues, decreased to 71.2% in the third quarter of 2001 from 74.5% in the third quarter of 2000. This increase in product margins is due a lower cost of materials for fly ash and better cost controls on operating expenses. Cost of Service Revenues, Excluding Depreciation. Cost of service revenues, excluding depreciation was $5.9 million in the third quarter of 2001, representing a decrease of $0.4 million or 6.1%, as compared to cost of service revenues, excluding depreciation, of $6.3 million in the third quarter of 2000. This decrease reflects the fact that service revenues decreased in the third quarter of 2001 as compared to the third quarter of 2000 and the cost of providing those services also decreased. As a percentage of service revenues, cost of service revenues, excluding depreciation, increased to 74.2% in the third quarter of 2001 from 67.4% in the third quarter of 2000. This increase resulted from lower service revenues, as discussed above, with only slightly lower total costs. Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization was $3.9 million in the third quarter of 2001, representing a decrease of $0.3 million or 6.8%, as compared to depreciation and amortization of $4.2 million in the third quarter of 2000. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") were $6.2 million in the third quarter of 2001, representing an increase of $0.5 million or 9.4%, as compared to SG&A expenses of $5.6 million in the third quarter of 2000. This increase in SG&A is primarily due to an increase in sales and marketing efforts. New Product Development. New product development costs consist of scientific research and development and market development expenditures. Expenditures for scientific research and development in the third quarter of 2001 as compared to the third quarter of 2000 decreased to $0.4 million from $0.4 million. Expenditures of $0.1 million were made for market development during the third quarter of 2001 as compared to expenditures of $0.1 million for market development during the third quarter of 2000. The continuation of new product development costs demonstrates the Company's commitment to developing and marketing value added products that utilize CCPs and related materials. Interest Expense. Interest expense increased to $4.4 million in the third quarter of 2001 from $4.1 million in the third quarter of 2000. This increase was the result of an increase in indebtedness from the third quarter of 2000. Income Taxes. Income tax expense was $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2001, representing an increase of $0.9 million as compared to income tax expense of $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2000. This increase in income tax expense is a result of higher taxable income as compared to the prior year. Net Income. As a result of the factors discussed above, net income was $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2001 compared to a net income of $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2000. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 Revenues. Revenues were $165.0 million in the nine months of 2001, representing an increase of $ 29.2 million or 21.5%, as compared to revenues of $135.8 million in the nine months of 2000. Product revenues increased to $140.4 million in the nine months of 2001 from $110.7 million in the nine months of 2000, representing an increase of $29.7 million or 26.8 %. Service revenues decreased to $24.6 million in the nine months of 2001 from $25.1 million in the nine months of 2000, representing a decrease of $0.5 million or 1.9%. The increase in product revenues in the nine months of 2001 is due primarily to the addition of product revenue related to the 2000 Acquisitions and increasing revenue in fly ash operations. The decrease in service revenues reflects a decrease in revenue generated from construction projects and a decrease of disposal revenue. Cost of Product Revenues, Excluding Depreciation. Cost of product revenues, excluding depreciation, was $104.7 million in the nine months of 2001, representing an increase of $22.9 million or 28.0%, as compared to cost of product revenues, excluding depreciation, of $81.8 million in the nine months of 2000. As a percentage of product revenues, cost of product revenues, excluding depreciation, increased to 74.6% in the nine months of 2001 from 73.9% in the nine months of 2000. This increase is due primarily to two factors: 1) the inclusion of cost of product revenues of 2000 Acquisitions since their respective dates of acquisition; and 2) the slightly decreased cost of material in the CCP division. Cost of Service Revenues, Excluding Depreciation. Cost of service revenues, excluding depreciation was $16.9 million in the nine months of 2001 as compared to cost of service revenues, excluding depreciation, of $17.4 million in the nine months of 2000. As a percentage of service revenues, cost of service revenues, excluding depreciation, decreased to 68.8% in the nine months of 2001 as compared to 69.5% in the nine months of 2000. This decrease was due to continued process efficiencies in disposal techniques. Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization was $11.9 million in the nine months of 2001, representing an increase of $0.9 million or 7.9%, as compared to depreciation and amortization of $11.0 million in the nine months of 2000. This increase resulted primarily from increased depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets recorded as a result of the 2000 Acquisitions. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") were $18.0 million in the nine months of 2001, representing an increase of $0.9 million or 5.1%, as compared to SG&A expenses of $17.2 million in the nine months of 2000. This increase in SG&A expenses reflects incremental SG&A costs resulting from the operation of the 2000 Acquisitions as well as an increase in sales and marketing efforts. New Product Development. New product development costs consist of scientific research and development and market development expenditures. Expenditures of $1.4 million were made for scientific research and development during the nine months of 2001 as compared to $1.3 million during the nine months of 2000. Expenditures of $0.2 million were made for market development during the nine months of 2001, as compared to $0.3 million during the nine months of 2000. The investment in new product development costs demonstrates the Company's commitment to developing and marketing value added products that utilize CCPs and related materials. Interest Expense. Interest expense increased to $12.8 million in the nine months of 2001 from $11.5 million in the nine months of 2000, primarily as a result of an increase in outstanding indebtedness due to the 2000 acquisitions Income Taxes. Income tax expense was $0.8 million for the nine months of 2001, as compared to the income tax benefit of $0.6 million in the nine months of 2000. This change reflects an increase in taxable income in the nine months of 2001. Taxable income is calculated considering non-deductible amortization expense related to most of the Company's acquisitions. Net Income. As a result of the factors discussed above, the net loss was $1.3 million in the nine months of 2001 as compared to a net loss of $3.7 million in the nine months of 2000. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company financed the 1998 and 1999 Acquisitions through the issuance of $100.0 million, 10% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 and borrowings on its Secured Credit Facility (as subsequently amended and restated). The Company financed the acquisition of Palestine by obtaining a $15.0 million increase in the Secured Credit Facility on May 26, 2000 (discussed below) and receiving an equity contribution of approximately $9.7 million from ISG on April 19, 2000. Operating and capital expenditures have been financed primarily through cash flow from operations and borrowings under the Secured Credit Facility. The Secured Credit Facility has been amended a number of times. On May 26, 2000, the Secured Credit Facility was amended and restated to, among other things, increase the borrowings available to the Company from $50.0 million to $65.0 million. On August 8, 2000, the amended and restated secured credit agreement dated May 26, 2000 was amended in order to modify certain debt covenants contained in the credit agreement. Primarily, a minimum consolidated Earnings Before Interest Expense, Income Tax Expense, Depreciation Expense, and Amortization Expense (EBITDA) debt covenant was added. The minimum consolidated EBITDA covenant requires the Company to maintain a minimum EBITDA amount as of the last day of every fiscal quarter through June 30, 2003 at levels set forth in the agreement. On March 30, 2001, the amended and restated secured credit agreement dated May 26, 2000 and subsequently amended on August 8, 2000, was amended in order to modify certain debt covenants contained in the agreement. The amended and restated secured credit facility continues to require the Company to not exceed a maximum leverage ratio, to not drop below a minimum interest coverage ratio, to not drop below a minimum consolidated EBITDA level, and to comply with certain other financial and non-financial covenants. The Company is in compliance with all such covenants. At September 30, 2001, the Company had $13.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and $64.6 million of the Secured Credit Facility was outstanding, with no amount available for additional borrowing under the facility. The Company had working capital of approximately $27.1 million, an increase of $3.0 million from December 31, 2000, due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, and inventory. The Company intends to make capital expenditures over the next several years principally to construct storage, loading and processing facilities for CCPs and to replace existing capital equipment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, capital expenditures amounted to approximately $6.0 million. The Company expects that capital expenditures made in the ordinary course of business will be funded by cash flow from operations. The Company anticipates that its principal use of cash will be for working capital requirements, debt service requirements and capital expenditures. Based upon current and anticipated levels of operations, the Company believes that its cash flow from operations will be adequate to meet its anticipated requirements for working capital, capital expenditures and interest payments for the next several years. There can be no assurance, however, that cash flow from operations will be sufficient to service the Company's debt and the Company may be required to refinance all or a portion of its existing debt or to obtain additional financing. These increased borrowings may result in higher interest payments. There can be no assurance that any such refinancing would be possible or that any additional financing could be obtained. The inability to obtain additional financing could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Other Events On February 24, 1999, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire the stock of Tatum Industries, Inc. (Tatum). As part of that agreement, the Company agreed to loan Tatum approximately $50,000 per month for operating expenses and loan servicing. In November 2000, the note payable to the Company was approximately $1.1 million. In December 2000, Tatum advised the Company that they would not be able to repay the note and the Company's attempt to purchase the outstanding stock of Tatum was unsuccessful. As a result, the Company expensed the $1.1 million note payable in the fourth quarter of 2000. In addition to the option agreement, the Company continued to lease the building and equipment under a month-to-month lease and made expenditures of approximately $1.1 million in leasehold improvements and equipment purchases. The Company is currently in the process of negotiating the sale of its $1.1 million investment in leasehold improvements and equipment to a third party. Based on these negotiations, the Company believes the assets are impaired and,as such, recorded an impairment loss of approximately $292,000 on the assets during the third quarter of 2001. After this impairment loss, the Company believes that the sale of the leasehold improvements and equipment will not result in a significant gain or loss; however, there is a risk that management will be unable to sell the assets for an amount greater than or equal to the remaining net book value of the assets. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which was subsequently amended by SFAS No. 137 "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities- Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS No. 133" and SFAS No. 138 "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The statement also requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 138, is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company adopted SFAS No. 133 in the first quarter of 2001. As expected, the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, "Business Combinations," and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Use of the pooling-of-interests method is no longer permitted. SFAS No. 141 also includes guidance on the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business combination that is completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 no longer permits the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Instead, these assets must be reviewed annually (or more frequently under certain conditions) for impairment in accordance with this statement. This impairment test uses a fair value approach rather than the undiscounted cash flows approach previously required by SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." Intangible assets that do not have indefinite lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 121. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002. Management is currently evaluating the Company's intangible assets in relation to the provisions of SFAS No. 142 to determine the impact that adoption of SFAS No. 142 will have on the Company's results of operations or financial position. Management anticipates that all amortization of goodwill, all amortization of assembled workforce, and a portion of amortization of intangible assets will no longer be recorded in the financial statements. The effect of impairment of assets, if any, has not yet been evaluated. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". SFAS No. 143 requires alternative accounting treatment of assets which are in the process of retirement. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 143 effective January 1, 2002. Management anticipates that there will not be a significant effect on results of operations or financial position. In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This Statement supersedes FASB Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of ," and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations and Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual, and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," for the disposal of a segment of a business (as previously defined in that opinion). This Statement also amends ARB No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements," to eliminate the consolidation for a subsidiary for which control is likely to be temporary. We are required to adopt SFAS No. 144 effective January 1, 2002. The Company is evaluating the impact of this Statement on its financial statements.
