PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

     The Company, incorporated originally in 1947 as an Arizona corporation, was reincorporated in Delaware on November 24, 1993. In June 2002, the Company changed its name from Metalclad Corporation to Entrx Corporation. We conduct our business operations primarily through a wholly owned subsidiary, Metalclad Insulation Corporation, a California corporation.

     Between May and September 2002, we acquired approximately 90% of the outstanding shares of Surg II, Inc. (“Surg II”) (Nasdaq: SURG), and on October 22, 2002, we distributed 3,791,576 shares of Surg II to our shareholders as a dividend. We still own 190,566 shares of Surg II common stock. Surg II is now known as Chiral Quest, Inc., and trades on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “CQST.”

     For over 30 years, the Company and its predecessors have been providing insulation and asbestos abatement services, primarily on the West Coast. We currently provide these services through Metalclad Insulation Corporation to a wide range of industrial, commercial and public agency clients.

     Our principal executive offices are located at 800 Nicollet Mall, Suite 2690, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55402, and our telephone number is (612) 333-0614. Metalclad Insulation Corporation’s principal facilities are located at 2198 South Dupont Drive, Anaheim, California 92806.

Insulation Services

     Background. Our insulation services include the installation of high- and low-temperature insulation on pipe, ducts, furnaces, boilers, and various other types of equipment. We also maintain and repair existing insulation systems, generally under one or multi-year maintenance contracts. Our customers include refineries, utilities, chemical plants, manufacturing facilities, commercial properties, office buildings and various governmental facilities. This may include complete removal of existing insulation during the repair operations. The removed insulation may or may not be asbestos containing. We also fabricate specialty items for the insulation industry, and occasionally sell insulation material and accessories to our customers. Metalclad Insulation Corporation is a licensed general contractor and typically provides project management, labor, tools, equipment and materials necessary to complete the installation.

     We perform substantially all of the work required to complete most contracts, while generally subcontracting to others the scaffolding, painting and other trades not performed by Metalclad Insulation. In a typical insulation project, we obtain plans and specifications prepared by

 


Table of Contents

the owner of a facility or its agent. In projects where the customer is the owner of the facility, we may act as the general contractor. We may also work as a subcontractor for other general contractors. Projects for the installation of insulation in new construction may require one or more years to complete.

     If a project involves the removal of asbestos containing materials, we first treat the material with water and a wetting agent to minimize fiber release. Dry removal is conducted in special cases where wetting is not feasible, provided Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) approval is obtained. Our workers also remove asbestos laden pipe insulation by cutting the wrapping into sections in an enclosed containment area or utilizing special “glovebags” which provide containment around the section of pipe where the insulation is being removed. In some instances, the Company performs asbestos removal and provides related re-insulation contracting services, including insulation material sales; in other cases, the Company performs only asbestos removal services

     Insulation Contracts. We normally enter into service contracts on either a “cost plus” or “fixed-price” basis, either through competitive bids or direct negotiations.

     Cost plus contracts, sometimes referred to as “time and materials” contracts, generally provide for reimbursement of our costs incurred on a particular project, including labor and materials, plus the payment of a fee normally equal to a percentage of these costs. These contracts generally provide for monthly payments covering both reimbursements for costs incurred to date and a portion of the fee based upon the amount of work performed and are customarily not subject to retention of fees or costs.

     Fixed-price contracts generally require that we perform all work for an agreed upon price, often by a specified date. Such contracts usually provide for increases in the contract price if our construction costs increase due to changes in or delays of the project initiated or caused by the customer or owner. However, absent causes resulting in increases in contract prices, we take certain risks, including the risk that our costs associated with the project exceed the agreed upon price. Under these types of contracts we normally receive periodic payments based on the work performed to a particular date, less certain retentions. The amounts retained are held by the customer pending either satisfactory completion of our work or, in some cases, satisfactory completion of the entire project.

     In accordance with industry practice, most of our contracts are subject to termination or modification by the customer, with provision for the recovery of costs incurred and the payment to us of a proportionate part of our fees, in the case of a cost-plus contract, and overhead and profit, in the case of a fixed price contract. Such termination or modification occurs in the regular course of our business due to changes in the work to be performed as determined by the customer throughout the term of a project. No single termination or modification has had or is expected to have a material adverse impact on our business.

     Operations and Employee Safety. All contract work is performed by trained personnel, and supervised by project managers trained and experienced in both construction and asbestos abatement. Each employee involved in asbestos abatement must complete a general training and safety program conducted by the Company or union affiliation. Training topics include approved work procedures, instruction on protective equipment and personal safety, dangers of asbestos, methods for controlling friable asbestos and asbestos transportation and handling procedures. In addition, all full-time employees engaged in asbestos abatement activities are required to attend a minimum four-day course approved by the EPA and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”), and all supervisors of abatement projects are required to attend an eight-hour first aid/CPR/safety course and an eight-hour EPA/AHERA refresher course annually. One of our full-time salaried employees and 22 hourly employees have been trained and certified as “competent individuals” under EPA regulations relating to the training of asbestos abatement workers. All employees are issued detailed training materials. We typically conduct a job safety analysis in the job bidding stage.

     We require the use of protective equipment on all projects, and sponsor periodic medical examinations of all of our field employees. During removal procedures, asbestos containing material is generally treated to minimize fiber release, and filtration devices are used to reduce contamination levels. Air monitoring to determine asbestos fiber contamination levels is conducted on all abatement projects involving the removal of friable asbestos. We have a comprehensive policy and procedure manual that covers all activities of an asbestos abatement project, and the specific responsibilities and implementation of procedures and policies to be followed on each project. The manual is reviewed periodically by management and updated to insure compliance with federal, state, and local regulations, to include information from in-house project review findings, and to include updated information regarding industry practices. To separate our responsibilities and limit our liability, we utilize unaffiliated third party laboratories for asbestos sampling analysis, and licensed independent waste haulers for the transportation and disposal of asbestos waste.

     Materials and Supplies. We purchase our insulating and asbestos abatement materials and supplies used in our insulation services from a number of national manufacturers, and we are not dependent on any one source.

Marketing and Sales

     Insulation Contracting Services. We currently obtain most of our insulation contracting business from existing customers, and through referrals by customers, engineers, architects, and construction firms. Additional business is obtained by referrals obtained through labor, industry and trade association affiliations.

     Projects are often awarded through competitive bidding, although major companies frequently rely on selected bidders chosen by them based on a variety of criteria such as adequate capitalization, bonding capability, insurance carried, and experience. We are frequently invited to bid on projects, and obtain a significant amount of our contracts through the competitive bidding process.

     Our marketing and sales effort emphasizes our experience, reputation for timely performance, and knowledge of the insulation and asbestos abatement industry. We are a member of the Western Insulation Contractors Association, the National Insulation Contractors Association, and various local business associations.

     Curtom-Metalclad Joint Venture. In 1989, Metalclad Insulation Corporation entered into a joint venture with a minority service firm, which qualifies for preferential contract bidding because of minority status. Metalclad Insulation Corporation owns a 49% interest in the joint venture. The joint venture, known as “Curtom-Metalclad,” submits bids for insulation and asbestos abatement services. When contracts are obtained by the joint venture, we perform the work specified in the contract as a subcontractor to the joint venture. We also receive an interest in 49% of the profits or losses of the joint venture. Sales for the year ended December 31, 2003 to Curtom-Metalclad were approximately $5,113,000 or 40.2% of our revenue, compared to $6,384,000 or 45.2% of revenue in 2002. While the revenues and gross profit of Curtom-Metalclad are significant to us, the assets, liabilities and earnings of that joint venture are insignificant, and not material. The termination of the Curtom-Metalclad joint venture and the loss of revenues that joint venture generates, would have a material adverse affect on us.

     Customers. Our customers are generally either industrial or commercial. The industrial customers are predominately public utilities (power, natural gas and water/water treatment), major oil companies for oil refineries and petrochemical plants, chemical and food processors, other heavy manufacturers, and engineering/construction companies. The commercial customers are primarily government installations, schools, hospitals, institutions, an array of manufacturing/commercial facilities, and the general or mechanical construction contractors. During 2003, we received a significant portion of our revenues from Southern California Edison Company (17.5%) and LA Power Joint Venture (14.1%), both through our Curtom-Metalclad joint venture. Shell Oil Products US accounted for 10% of our revenues. We cannot project whether a significant portion of our revenues derived from these customers in 2004. (See Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

     Competition. Competition in the insulation contracting services business is intense and is expected to remain intense in the foreseeable future. Competition includes a few national and regional companies that provide integrated services and many regional and local companies that provide insulation and asbestos abatement specialty contracting services. Many of the national and regional competitors providing integrated services are well established and have substantially greater marketing, financial, and technological resources than we do. The regional and local specialty contracting companies, which compete with us, either provide one service or they provide integrated services by subcontracting part of their services to other companies. We believe that the primary competitive factors for our services are price, technical performance and reliability. We obtain a significant number of our insulation service contracts through the competitive bidding process. We believe that our bids are generally competitively priced. Our policy is to bid all projects with the expectation of a reasonable gross profit.

     Backlog. Our backlog for insulation services at December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 was $5,559,000 and $5,848,000, respectively. Backlog is calculated in terms of estimated revenues on fixed-price and cost-plus projects in progress or for which contracts have been executed. Approximately 15% of our backlog is under cost-plus contracts. Our backlog as of any date is not necessarily indicative of future revenues. We estimate that our entire backlog as of December 31, 2003 will be completed during the next eighteen months.

Insurance and Bonding.

     Our combined general liability and contractor pollution insurance policy provides base coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence and excess liability coverage of $5,000,000.

     Prior to 1975, the Company was engaged in the sale and installation of asbestos related insulation materials, and has been the subject of numerous claims of personal injury allegedly related to asbestos exposure. Many of these claims are now being brought by the children and close relatives of persons who have died, allegedly as a result of the direct or indirect exposure to asbestos.

     The number of asbestos related claims which have been initiated naming the us (primarily our subsidiary, Metalclad Insulation Corporation) as a defendant had increased from 254 in 1999 to 527 in 2000 and 685 in 2001. The number of claims initiated slightly decreased to 583 in 2002, and further decreased to 337 in 2003. As of December 31, 2003, there were approximately 1,212 asbestos cases pending, of which approximately 390 have been settled but not yet closed for lack of final documentation or payment. At December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, there were, respectively, approximately 860, 1,450 and 1,635 cases pending. It had been previously improperly reported in the Company’s Form 10K for the period ended December 31, 2002, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, that there were approximately 660 cases pending at December 31, 2002, and 700 cases pending at the end of 2001. Although, the number of claims made in 2002 and 2003 reflected a downward trend from 2001, and the number of cases pending on December 31, 2003, dropped from those pending on December 31, 2002, it cannot be assumed that this trend will continue. The sympathies of juries, the aggressiveness of the plaintiff’s bar, and the declining defendant base as a result of business failures, has also led to a trend of larger payments and settlements per claim.

     It is difficult to determine if we have adequate insurance to cover these claims. The terms of such insurance policies are complex, and the coverage for many types of claims is limited. If the current trend of the claim occurrence and amounts is not significantly reversed, it will likely have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and business in the future. Because of our insurance coverage, we do not anticipate any adverse effect on our financial condition to develop for at least the next four to five years. Beyond that, however, the effect of those claims is uncertain.

     In 2003, the United States Congress considered legislation to create a privately funded, publicly administered fund to provide the necessary resources for an asbestos injury claims resolution program. The latest draft of the legislation called for the fund to be funded 50% by asbestos defendant companies, of which the Company is one, and 50% by insurance companies. The impact, if any, this potential legislation will have on us cannot be determined at this time, although the latest draft of the legislation did not appear favorable to us.

     While our current insulation and asbestos abatement services customers generally do not require performance bonds, an increasing number of customers have requested such bonds. Due to changes in the bonding industry, we had difficulty obtaining performance bonds for two large projects in 2003. We obtained bonds for these two projects by having Arrowhead Consulting Group post a letter of credit with the bonding company. The bonding company required a credit enhancement and accepted the letters of credit as the credit enhancement. The Company paid Arrowhead Consulting Group cash consideration for these letters of credit and issued them three-year warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock at $1.50 per share, which were valued at fair market value and expensed during the year ended December 31, 2003. While the changes in the bonding industry have made it more difficult to obtain performance bonds, we believe that our current bonding arrangements are adequate for our anticipated future needs.

     Employees.

     As of December 31, 2003, we had two part-time salaried employees in our executive offices and 14 full-time salaried employees in our insulation business in California, for a total of 16 employees. These included three executive officers, project managers/estimators, purchasing, accounting, and office staff.

     As of December 31, 2003, our subsidiary, Metalclad Insulation Corporation, employed approximately 87 hourly employees for insulation contracting services, nearly all of whom are members of the International Association of Heat and Frost Insulators and Asbestos Workers (“AFL-CIO”) or Laborers Local Union 300. Metalclad Insulation Corporation is a party to agreements with various local chapters of various trade unions. The number of hourly employees employed by us fluctuates depending upon the number and size of projects that we have under construction at any particular time. It has been our experience that hourly employees are generally available for our projects, and we have continuously employed a number of hourly employees on various projects over an extended period of time. We consider our relations with our

5


Table of Contents

hourly employees and the unions representing them to be good, and have not experienced any recent work stoppages due to strikes by such employees. Additionally, the trade union agreements we are a party to include no strike, no work stoppage provisions. One agreement, the “Maintenance Agreement” with Local No. 5 of the International Association of Heat and Frost Insulators and Asbestos Workers expired in December 2003. The “Maintenance Agreement” is currently under negotiation. The “Basic Agreement” with Local No. 5 of the International Association of Heat and Frost Insulators and Asbestos Workers expires in August 2004. An agreement with the Laborers Local 300 was signed in January 2004 and expires in December 2006.

Government Regulation

     Insulation Services and Material Sales Regulation. As a general and insulation specialty contractor, we are subject to regulation requiring us to obtain licenses from several state and municipal agencies. Other than licensing, our industrial insulation services and material sales business is not subject to material or significant regulation.

     Asbestos Abatement Regulation. Asbestos abatement operations are subject to regulation by federal, state, and local governmental authorities, including OSHA and the EPA. In general, OSHA regulations set maximum asbestos fiber exposure levels applicable to employees and the EPA regulations provide asbestos fiber emission control standards. The EPA requires use of accredited persons for both inspection and abatement. In addition, a number of states have promulgated regulations setting forth such requirements as registration or licensing of asbestos abatement contractors, training courses for workers, notification of intent to undertake abatement projects and various types of approvals from designated entities. Transportation and disposal activities are also regulated.

     OSHA has promulgated regulations specifying airborne asbestos fiber exposure standards for asbestos workers, engineering and administrative controls, workplace practices, and medical surveillance and worker protection requirements. OSHA’s construction standards require companies removing asbestos on construction sites to utilize specified control methods to limit employee exposure to airborne asbestos fibers, to conduct air monitoring, to provide decontamination units and to appropriately supervise operations. EPA regulations restrict the use of spray applied ACM and asbestos insulation, establish procedures for handling ACM during demolition and renovations, and prohibit visible emissions during removal, transportation and disposal of ACM.

     We believe that we are substantially in compliance with all regulations relating to its asbestos abatement operations, and currently have all material government permits, licenses, qualifications and approvals required for our operations.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

     Our executive offices are located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, which consists of approximately 2,400 square feet leased at a current rate of $5,400 per month, on a month-to-month basis.

     Our wholly owned subsidiary, Metalclad Insulation Corporation, is housed in a facility in Anaheim, California. This facility consists of 26,000 square feet of office and warehouse space. In May, 2002 we purchased this facility for $2,047,000.

     An inactive subsidiary of the Company owns an approximately 92-hectare parcel (approximately 227 acres) of land in Santa Maria del Rio near San Luis Potosi, Mexico. We are presently attempting to dispose of this property. Such sale or disposition will not have a material effect on the Company.

     We believe that the properties currently owned and leased by us are adequate for our operations for the foreseeable future.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Asbestos Related Claims

     Prior to 1975, we were engaged in the sale and installation of asbestos related insulation materials, and have been the subject of numerous claims of personal injury allegedly related to asbestos exposure. Many of these claims are now being brought by the children and close relatives of persons who have died, allegedly as a result of the direct or indirect exposure to asbestos.

The sympathies of juries, the aggressiveness of the plaintiff’s bar, and the declining defendant base as a result of business failures, has also led to a trend of larger payments and settlements per claim.

     In the past we believed that we had adequate insurance to cover these claims; however, the terms of such insurance policies are complex and the coverage for many types of claims is limited. If the current trend of the claim occurrence and amounts is not significantly reversed, it will likely have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and business in the future.

The impact, if any, this potential legislation will have on us cannot be determined at this time although the latest draft of the legislation did not appear favorable to us.

     Claim Against Former Employee, Etc.

     In October 1999, we completed the sale of our operating businesses and development project located in Aguascalientes, Mexico. That sale specifically excluded those Mexican assets involved in the Company’s NAFTA claim which was settled in 2001. Under the terms of the sale we received an initial cash payment of $125,000 and recorded a receivable for $779,000. On November 13, 2000, the Company filed a complaint in the Superior Court of California against a former employee, the U.S. parent of the buyer and its representative for breach of contract, fraud, collusion and other causes of action in connection with this sale seeking damages in the form of a monetary award. An arbitration hearing was held in September, 2002 in Mexico City, as requested by one of the defendants. This arbitration hearing was solely to determine the validity of the assignment of the purchase and sale agreement by the buyer to a company formed by the former employee defendant. The Superior Court action against the U.S. parent was stayed pending the Mexican arbitration. On April 8, 2003, the arbitrator ruled that the assignment was inexistent, due to the absence of our consent. In June 2003, the Court of Appeal for the State of California ruled that the U.S. parent was also entitled to compel a Mexican arbitration of the claims raised in our complaint. We are now prepared to pursue our claim in an arbitration proceeding for the aforementioned damages. No assurances can be given on the outcome. We have fully reserved for the $779,000 note receivable, which was recorded at the date of sale.

     In a related action, a default was entered against us in December, 2002, in favor of the same former employee referred to in the foregoing paragraph by the Mexican Federal Labor Arbitration Board, for an unspecified amount. The former employee was seeking in excess of $9,000,000 in damages as a result of his termination as an employee. The default was obtained without the proper notice being given to us, and was set aside in the quarter ended June 30, 2003. Most of the evidentiary hearings on the merits of the former employee’s claim have taken place and we are preparing for final arguments. We believe this claim is without merit and intend to vigorously defend against it.

Claim by Former Attorney

     On February 5, 2003, a Notice of Involuntary Lien was filed against the Company with the County Recorder for Orange County California in the amount of $104,046. This lien relates to a judgment against the Company for attorney fees in the Company’s NAFTA settlement. The total amount of the claim including interest and collection costs was $111,406. Subsequent to the lien being filed, $27,050 was paid to the lien holder from a trust fund established by the Company and a third party to pay for any judgments and defense costs related to this lawsuit. We agreed to pay the remaining $84,356 of the claim in three installments. As of December 31, 2003, the Company has paid the judgment in full.

Table of Contents

     The Company has been indemnified by the third party against any judgments and costs related to this lawsuit in excess of the trust fund and has contacted the third party seeking indemnification. The third party has refused to honor its indemnification obligation and the Company has therefore initiated legal proceedings against the third party. The third party has filed a cross-complaint against the Company seeking $100,000 due to undue influence, duress, fraud, unconscionability and conspiracy related to the original indemnification agreement. The Company believes the cross-complaint is without merit.

     As of March 9, 2004, the closing bid price for the common shares on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market was $1.41.

     On December 11, 2002, we received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. advising us that because the minimum bid price of our Common Stock was not at least $1.00 for thirty consecutive trading days, we did not meet the requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market. We had 180 calendar days from the notice, or until June 9, 2003, to regain compliance, obtain an extension or be delisted. On June 11, 2003, we received a 180 day extension to December 8, 2003, in order to come back in compliance or be delisted. On July 14, 2003, we received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market that we had regained compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price and that the matter was closed.

Shareholders of Record

     As of March 9, 2004, the approximate number of record holders of our Common Stock was 1,553.

Dividends

     We have not paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock since our incorporation, and anticipate that, for the foreseeable future, earnings, if any, will continue to be retained for use in our business. On October 22, 2002, we distributed 3,791,576 shares of Surg II, Inc. common stock which we owned as a dividend to our shareholders of record as of the close of business on October 11, 2002. The dividend was equal to one share of Surg II, Inc. common stock for each two shares of the Company’s common stock owned. Since that date, Surg II, Inc. has changed its name to Chiral Quest, Inc., and its shares are being traded on the over-the-counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “CQST”.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Summary.

     Our revenues have decreased over the past two years from $18,008,000 in 2001 to $12,733,000 in 2003. Gross margin percentages have also decreased over the same two-year period, from 13.7% in 2001 to 11.2% in 2003. We do not anticipate that our revenues will continue to decrease in 2004, and anticipate that gross margin percentages in 2004 will exceed those of 2003.

     We had net losses in 2002 and 2003 of approximately $5,286,000 and $3,006,000, respectively. Included in these losses is $3,333,000 in 2002 resulting from a restructuring charge, and $1,000,000 in losses in 2003 as the result of an impairment charge on one of our investments in a privately-held company. While we anticipate an improvement in overall operating results in 2004, we still project an operating loss for 2004.

     We currently have an investment in two privately-held companies, totaling $1,757,000, both of which are in the early stages of their business development. One of these investments incurred an impairment in 2003. Either or both of these investments could be further impaired in the future.

     Our revenues from maintenance contracts as opposed to new installation contracts have declined over the past, reflecting greater competition in our markets. While efforts are underway to reverse that trend, we are not sure these efforts will be successful.

     In December of 2003, our operating subsidiary, Metalclad Insulation Corporation, obtained a line of credit financing from the Far East National Bank, Newport Beach, California. While the line of credit is for up to $1,500,000, Metalclad Insulation Corporation is required to maintain a cash balance with the Far East Bank for borrowings greater than $1,000,000 on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Whether Far East Bank will be willing to renew this line of credit in December of 2004 will be partially contingent upon our financial condition and compliance with certain loan covenants. Currently, the loan covenants require, among other things, that we maintain a net worth of $4,400,000. We may not be in compliance with all of the loan covenants at the end of 2004, in which case Far East National Bank may not provide us with any debt financing.

     We obtained a $1,300,000 loan in December of 2003 from Pandora Select Partners, LP, a British Virgin Islands limited partnership. The proceeds of this loan should provide us with sufficient cash to operate through 2004.

     Our subsidiary, Metalclad Insulation Corporation, continues to be engaged in lawsuits involving asbestos-related injury or potential injury claims. The 337 claims made in 2003 were down from the 685 and 583 claims made in 2001 and 2002 respectively, although the average severity of each claim has slightly increased. These claims are currently defended and covered by insurance. We have projected that we have sufficient insurance to provide coverage for the next four to five years. This projection assumes that there is not a significant increase in the annual number of new claims and that the severity of each claim does not increase significantly. The projection also assumes that the insurance companies live up to what we believe their obligation to continue to cover our exposure with regards to these claims. Whether we will be able to continue in business when our insurance coverage runs out is subject to a significant number of variables, which are impossible to predict. In addition, we paid approximately $175,000 in 2003 in legal fees to assess and monitor the asbestos-related claims, and to assess and monitor our insurance coverage and insurance company activities involving the defense and payment of these claims. We anticipate that this cost will continue.

Presentation of Consolidated Financial Statements

     The consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect our ongoing business in the insulation contracting segment and the discontinuance in 1999 of our waste management segment in Mexico. Certain amounts have been reclassified from previously reported categories.

Results of Operations

     General. Our revenues have been generated primarily from insulation services and sales of insulation products and related materials in the

12


Table of Contents

United States. Until 1999, we received revenues from the collection of waste oils and solvents for recycling, rental of parts washing machines, brokering the disposal of waste and remediation services in Mexico. Our financial statements for 1999 and subsequent years reflect the winding down of those operations.

     In 1997, we filed a claim against the United Mexican States under the North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”) to recover the value of our investment in a completed, but unopened, treatment, storage and disposal facility in San Luis Potosi. During the fourth quarter of 1998, we determined that, due to political opposition in Mexico, our Mexican operations would not be successful, and we committed to a plan to discontinue our operations and investment in Mexico to minimize future losses. We settled our claims against the Mexican Government in October 2001 for $16,002,000. This settlement completed our activities in Mexico and essentially closed out all discontinued operations in Mexico.

Year Ended December 31, 2003 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2002.

     Revenue. Total revenues were $12,733,000 in 2003 as compared to $15,021,000 for 2002, a decrease of 15.2%. The decrease was primarily a result of the competitive nature of the construction industry, the general economic business environment and our efforts, in the last half of the year, to concentrate on higher gross margin projects.

     Cost of Revenue and Gross Margin. Total cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $11,312,000 as compared to $13,158,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002, a decrease of 14.0%. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in revenue. The gross margin as a percentage of revenue was approximately 11.2% for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to 12.4% for the year ended December 31, 2002. The gross margin percentage decreased primarily due to unanticipated costs on certain fixed bid projects during the first quarter of 2003. Throughout the year our gross margin as a percentage of revenue steadily increased from (1.7)% in the first quarter, to 14.3% in the second quarter, to 16.7% in the third quarter and finally to 20% in the fourth quarter.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3,786,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to $3,658,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002, an increase of 3.5% due primarily to increases in insurance expense, consulting and financing expenses offset by a decrease in legal and travel expenses. Insurance expense increased due to the increased cost of Directors and Officers insurance and to charges related to workers compensation insurance. Financing expenses increased due to the costs associated with obtaining a new bank line of credit and a mortgage on our facilities in California, and the obtaining of additional financing through the issuance of convertible promissory notes.

     Other Operating Expense. For the year ended December 31, 2003, we reversed an allowance of $387,000 related to a non-recourse loan to an affiliate of a person who subsequently became a corporate officer. During 2003, we amended the note with this officer’s affiliate to our net benefit, such that the new note is now with full recourse to this affiliate, and guaranteed by the officer. Since this was a non-recourse loan, we had adjusted the carrying value of the note to the value of the collateral as of December 31, 2002, and then recorded an allowance of $387,000. The collateral consists of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and 250,000 shares of the $0.01 par value common stock of Chiral Quest, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CQST).

     Restructuring Charges. On December 20, 2001, Wayne Mills filed Form 13D/A with the Securities and Exchange Commission, indicating his intent to seek a change in management and the Board of Directors of the Company. Mr. Mills indicated that, absent a cooperative solution, he would seek shareholder consents to replace the entire Board.

     It was management’s decision that the shareholders would benefit by not involving the Company in a proxy contest. Consequently, on February 13, 2002, Grant S. Kesler, Anthony C. Dabbene and Bruce H. Haglund resigned as members of the Board of Directors of the Company. The three remaining members of the Board of Directors elected Messrs. Wayne W. Mills, Kenneth W. Brimmer, Gary W. Copperud and Joseph M. Senser to fill an existing vacancy on the Board of Directors and the vacancies created by the resignations of Messrs. Kesler, Dabbene and Haglund. In addition, Messrs. Kesler and Dabbene resigned as officers of the Company, and Mr. Mills was elected President and Chief Executive Officer and Brian D. Niebur was elected Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer.

     In connection with their resignations, and in lieu of compensation which would otherwise be due under change of control provisions contained in previously executed and adopted employment contracts, which were amended and restated as of January 1, 2002, the Company issued Mr. Kesler 140,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $359,800, forgave a loan due from Mr. Kesler in the amount of $543,000 in exchange for future consulting services and paid Mr. Kesler $832,000 in cash. In addition, the Company issued Mr. Dabbene 86,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $221,020 and paid Mr. Dabbene $637,000 in cash. In addition, all outstanding unvested stock options held by the prior

13


Table of Contents

Board of Directors, including Messrs. Kesler and Dabbene, were immediately vested and became exercisable. Messrs. Kesler and Dabbene each agreed to act as our consultants under two-year and three-month consulting agreements, respectively. In addition to the payment discussed above, Mr. Dabbene’s compensation for consulting was $5,000 per month. A portion of the cash payments due to Mr. Kesler and Mr. Dabbene ($482,000 and $425,000, respectively) was deposited by us as income and payroll tax withholding on the total compensation paid to each of them.

     In March 2002, we reimbursed Mr. Mills $100,000 for legal fees expended by him in excess of that amount to effect this change in management.

     During the year ended December 31, 2002, we recognized $3,333,000 of expense related to the change of management, including insurance premiums, legal fees, severance pay and relocation of the Company’s headquarters. The cash payments related to these expenses were approximately $2,008,000. The non-cash charges primarily relate to the forgiveness of the loan due from Mr. Kesler, the issuance of common stock to Messrs. Kesler and Dabbene, the expense pursuant to APB No. 25 and the related interpretations related to the accelerated vesting of stock options for the prior directors.

     Interest Income and Expense. Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $154,000 as compared with $293,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002. The decrease in 2003 was primarily due to lower average cash and cash equivalent balances in 2003 as compared to 2002 generating lower interest income, partially offset by an increase in interest income related to an interest-bearing loan to a corporate officer. Interest expense was $172,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to interest expense of $119,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002. This increase in interest expense was primarily due to the mortgage which was obtained on Metalclad Insulation Corporation’s building; which mortgage was outstanding for the entire year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to only a portion of the year ended December 31, 2002. In addition, there were loans with Venture Bank and a convertible promissory note outstanding for part of the year ended December 31, 2003, that increased interest expense as compared with the year ended December 31, 2002.

     Other Income and Expense. For the year ended December 31, 2003, we recognized an impairment charge of $1,000,000 related to one of our investments in a privately-held company. The impairment charge was due to the decline in the fair value below the cost basis that was judged to be other than temporary. We recognized a $15,000 loss on sale of available-for-sale securities in the year ended December 31, 2003, and a $57,000 gain on sale of available-for-sale securities in the year ended December 31, 2002.

     In March 2003, the Company converted a note receivable from Zamba Corporation into 415,340 shares of NextNet Wireless, Inc. Series A Preferred Stock owned by Zamba. NextNet is a privately held provider of non-line-of-sight plug-and-play broadband wireless access systems. Each preferred share is convertible into three shares of common stock. On February 23, 2004, however, the Company was notified of a proposed merger between NextNet and a recently formed privately owned company (the "Acquirer"), to which we gave our consent. The Acquirer has experience in the wireless communication industry.

     Under the terms of the merger, the Company will receive warrants to purchase 290,738 shares of the class A common stock of the Acquirer in exchange for the 415,340 shares of Series A Preferred Stock that it owns of NextNet. The warrants the Company will receive from the Acquirer will have an exercise price of $4.00 per share, are immediately exercisable and have a term which terminates after the earlier of six years or upon the occurrence of certain events which gives the holders of the warrant liquidity with respect to the underlying common stock. The Company has been informed that the merger was completed on March 16, 2004. Based upon the foregoing, the Company determined that there had been an other-than-temporary decline in the fair value of its investment below the cost and recorded an impairment charge of $1,000,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003. The Company valued the warrants received using the Black-Scholes pricing model using 113% as the volatility, 1.24% as the risk free interest rate, an expected life of six years and no expected dividends. The Company has not obtained, and will not obtain, an independent appraisal of the value of the warrants.

     Net Loss. We experienced a net loss of $3,006,000 (or a loss of $0.41 per share) for the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to net loss of $5,286,000 (or a loss of $0.69 per share) for the comparable period ended December 31, 2002. The $5,286,000 net loss from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2002, included the restructuring charges of $3,333,000, and the net loss of $3,006,000 for the year ended December 2003 included a $1,000,000 impairment charge on one of our investments in a privately-held company.

Year Ended December 31, 2002 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2001.

     Revenue. Total revenues were $15,021,000 in 2002 as compared to $18,008,000 for 2001, a decrease of 17%. Contract revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 were $14,837,000 as compared to $17,865,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001, a decrease of 17%. The decrease was primarily attributable to fires at two of our customer’s sites that generated incremental revenue in the year ended December 31, 2001, and was also due to the general economic slowdown in 2002.

     Cost of Revenue and Gross Margin. Total cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $13,158,000 as compared to $15,540,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001, a decrease of 15%. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in revenue. The gross margin as a percentage of revenue was approximately 12.4% for the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to 13.7% for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributed to the performance of several major emergency jobs in response to major fires at a refinery and power plant that allowed for higher contract margins in the year ended December 31, 2001.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3,658,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to $3,015,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001, an increase of 21.3% due primarily to an increase in legal and professional fees, insurance expense and board fees, offset by a decrease in salaries and bonus expense.

For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company recorded an allowance of $387,000 related to a non-recourse loan made to an affiliate of a person who subsequently became a corporate officer.

In addition to the payment discussed above, Mr. Dabbene’s compensation for consulting was $5,000 per month. A portion of the cash payments due to Mr. Kesler and Mr. Dabbene ($482,000 and $425,000, respectively) was deposited by us as income and payroll tax withholding on the total compensation paid to each of them.

     In March 2002, we reimbursed Mr. Mills $100,000 for legal fees expended by him in excess of that amount to effect this change in management.

     During the year ended December 31, 2002, we recognized $3,333,000 of expense related to the change of management, including insurance premiums, legal fees, severance pay and relocation of the Company’s headquarters. The cash payments related to these expenses were approximately $2,008,000. The non-cash charges primarily relate to the forgiveness of the loan due from Mr. Kesler, the issuance of common stock to Messrs. Kesler and Dabbene, the expense pursuant to APB No. 25 and the related interpretations related to the accelerated vesting of stock options for the prior directors.

     Interest Income and Expense. Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $293,000 as compared with $80,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001. The increase in 2002 was primarily due to the larger cash balances, that resulted from the receipt of the NAFTA award and to an interest-bearing loan to a corporate officer in December 2001 that remained outstanding at December 31, 2002. Interest expense was $119,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to interest expense of $132,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001. This reduction in interest expense was primarily due to the conversion of debt into 266,901 shares of our common stock, and the repayment of convertible zero coupon notes, with an interest rate of 15%, in the year ended December 31, 2001. This reduction was partially offset by interest payable one bank borrowings outstanding for all of 2002, as compared to only a portion of 2001.

     Other Income and Expense. We recognized a $57,000 gain on sale of available-for-sale securities in the year ended December 31, 2002. Other expense of $904,000 in 2001 consisted principally of the reserve established for a note receivable related to the sale of our Mexican assets not included in the NAFTA claim.

     Discontinued Operations. The gain of $7,079,000 in 2001 was a result of the settlement of the NAFTA claim, net of all fees and expenses, including the write-off of all assets associated with the claim. No future costs are anticipated. If any future costs arise, they will be charged to operations as incurred.

     Net Income (Loss). We experienced a net loss of $5,286,000 (or a loss of $0.69 per share) for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to net income of $5,576,000 (or income of $0.77 per share) for the comparable period ended December 31, 2001. The net income for the year ended December 31, 2001, was due to the receipt of the proceeds from the

NAFTA claim. The net loss from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2002, was primarily related to the restructuring charges. This net loss compares with the net loss from continuing operations of $1,503,000 for the comparable period ended December 31, 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     As of December 31, 2003, we had $1,644,000 in cash and cash equivalents and $279,000 in available-for-sale securities. The Company had working capital of $1,519,000 as of December 31, 2003. Our subsidiary, Metalclad Insulation Corporation, has a line of credit with Far East National Bank, Los Angeles, California. The line of credit agreement with Far East National Bank matures on October 28, 2004, and bears interest at a floating rate based upon the bank’s prime rate plus 1%. Borrowings under the agreement are limited to $1,000,000 plus the amount of cash collateral posted, up to $500,000, in the form of certificate of deposit at the bank. At December 31, 2003, we had a balance of $1,000,000 outstanding on this line of credit.

     Cash provided by continuing operations was $227,000 for 2003, compared with cash used in continuing operations of $6,939,000 in 2002. For 2001, $1,187,000 of cash was provided by continuing operations. Cash flows were used primarily to fund operating losses for continuing operations in each of the years 2003, 2002 and 2001, which were partially offset by non-cash expenses for depreciation and amortization. In 2003, there was also a $1,000,000 non-cash expense related to an impairment charge for one of our investments in a privately-held company. In 2002, we placed $2,111,000 of cash in a certificate of deposit at a bank to secure a standby letter of credit payable to a customer in lieu of a performance bond. The letter of credit and the certificate of deposit matured on July 1, 2003. At December 31, 2002, we recorded the certificate of deposit as restricted cash. On March 25, 2003, the letter of credit was cancelled and the CD was released as collateral which provided $2,111,000 of cash in 2003. $814,000 of cash was also provided from continuing operations in 2003 due to a decrease in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, a decrease in other receivables, and an increase in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts. There was also a non-cash item related to the allowance on officer’s receivable that decreased cash flows by $387,000 in 2003. A decrease in accounts payable used $486,000 of cash in 2003.

     During 2002, we recognized $3,333,000 of expense related to the change of management, including insurance premiums, legal fees, severance pay and relocation of our headquarters. The cash payments related to these expenses were approximately $2,044,000. The non-cash charges of $1,156,000 primarily relate to the forgiveness of a loan due from Mr. Kesler and the issuance of common stock to Messrs. Kesler and Dabbene.

     We used $1,057,000 of cash in 2002 to decrease our accounts payable and accrued expenses. These uses were partially offset by non-cash expenses for stock based compensation, the adjustment of the carrying value of the loan to a corporate officer and the forgiveness of the loan to Mr. Kesler.

     In 2001, the positive cash flow from continuing operations was primarily the result of a $2,105,000 decrease in accounts receivable. The large workload in the fourth quarter of 2000 as compared with 2001 resulted in a larger accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2000 as compared with December 31, 2001. There was also a non-cash expense due to the provision for uncollectible notes receivable related to the 1999 sale of certain Mexican assets in 2001. Increases in prepaid expenses and other current assets, primarily related to prepaid insurance also resulted in decreased cash flows from continuing operations in 2001 of $225,000.

     Cash provided by discontinued operations was $13,450,000 for 2001. In 2001, the positive cash flow from discontinued operations was primarily the result of the $16,002,000 received from the Mexican government as settlement of our claim under the North American Free Trade Agreement, offset by expenses related to the settlement.

     Net investing activities used $643,000, $6,723,000 and $1,230,000 of cash in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Of these uses, $150,000, $2,258,000 and $231,000 was used for additions to property and equipment in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, primarily for our subsidiary, Metalclad Insulation Corporation.

     On November 4, 2002, we entered an agreement whereby we would lend up to $2.5 million to Zamba Corporation (“Zamba”) in the form of a collateralized convertible note. The note, when fully funded, was convertible into common stock of Zamba, or at the Company’s option, was payable by Zamba in shares of NextNet Wireless, Inc. (“NextNet”) Series A Preferred Stock owned by Zamba and which collateralized the note. The note was not repayable in cash. The agreement also gave us the option to acquire additional shares of NextNet Series A Preferred Stock. We had advanced $1,000,000 on the

16


Table of Contents

note as of December 31, 2002. On January 13, 2003, we advanced $100,000, and on February 17, 2003, advanced an additional $650,000 on the note. On February 17, 2003, we amended the agreement with Zamba whereby the total amount we would lend to Zamba was reduced to $1,750,000. In connection with this amendment, provisions allowing us to convert the loan into Zamba’s common stock and our option to purchase an additional 750,000 shares of NextNet Series A Preferred Stock from Zamba were removed. The loan was not repayable in cash, but was repayable through conversion into shares of Zamba’s NextNet Series A Preferred Stock. The note matured on March 31, 2003, and was then converted into 415,340 shares of NextNet Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of NextNet Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into three shares of NextNet common stock. On November 4, 2002, Wayne W. Mills, the Company’s President, owned approximately 6.3% of the outstanding common stock of Zamba and approximately 3.3% of NextNet and as of December 31, 2003, Mr. Mills owned approximately 1.4% of NextNet.

     Subsequent to December 31, 2003, the stockholders of NextNet have been presented with a merger proposal, which will likely be adopted. Under the merger proposal, the privately held acquiring company would issue warrants to purchase 290,738 shares of its class A common stock in exchange for all of the 415,340 shares of NextNet Series A Preferred Stock held by us. The warrants as proposed, will be exercisable over six years at $4.00 per share. We have approved of the merger. As a result of the anticipated merger, we have reduced the fair value of our investment in NextNet by $1,000,000 effective for the year ended December 31, 2003.

     In 2002, $2,047,000 of the additions to property related to the purchase of the building housing the business at Metalclad Insulation Corporation. Also in 2002, we used $3,300,000 to acquire and distribute 3,791,576 shares of Surg II, Inc. common stock to our shareholders as a dividend. Additionally in 2002 we used $197,000 for net purchases of available-for-sale securities.

     In 2001, we used $1,000,000 of cash to make an equity investment in Catalytic Solutions, Inc., a privately held company.

     Cash provided by financing activities totaled $1,216,000 in 2003 compared with cash provided by financing activities of $1,372,000 in 2002 and cash used in financing activities of $628,000 in 2001. Long-term borrowings provided $121,000, $190,000 and $202,000 of cash in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. We used $159,000 and $222,000 of cash in 2003 and 2002, respectively, to repurchase 260,000 and 194,800 shares, respectively, of our outstanding common stock.

     In 2003, our subsidiary, Metalclad Insulation Corporation, obtained a new line of credit and mortgage with Far East National Bank (“Far East”), and repaid its prior line of credit and mortgage with Community Bank. The line of credit agreement with Far East matures in October 2004 and bears interest at a floating rate based upon the bank’s prime rate plus 1% (5.00% on the date of the loan). The line of credit is secured by certain assets of the Company. Borrowings under the agreement are limited to $1,000,000 plus the amount of cash collateral posted, up to $500,000, in the form of certificate of deposit at the bank. Metalclad Insulation Corporation also obtained a $1,596,000 mortgage on the building from Far East that matures in October 2008, and bears interest at a floating rate based upon the bank’s prime rate plus 1% (5.00% on the date of the loan). The line of credit and mortgage are guaranteed by our President, Wayne W. Mills, who received a fee for such guarantees of $92,880.

     In December 2003, we issued a $1,300,000, 10% convertible promissory note. The note is payable interest only through April 15, 2004, and thereafter is payable in equal monthly installments over the next 33 months. The note is convertible by the noteholder into common stock of the Company at $1.35 per share, and allows us, subject to certain conditions and limitations, to make monthly installment payments with our common stock at a price per share approximating the then market value. In connection with the financing we paid a 3% origination fee, issued a five year warrant for the purchase of 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.50 per share, and granted the noteholder a security interest in 249,200 shares of NextNet Wireless, Inc. Series A Preferred Stock, and 33,800 shares of Catalytic Solutions, Inc. Series C Preferred Stock, owned by the Company. The proceeds of $1,300,000 were allocated between the note, and the fair value of the warrants based on using the Black Scholes pricing model. The resulting original issue discount, the fair value of the warrant, and the beneficial conversion of the note payable into common stock as defined in EITF 00-27 (“Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments”), is being amortized over the life of the note using the straight-line method, which approximates the interest method. In addition, we agreed to file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, covering the issuance or resale of the shares of the Company’s common stock which may be issued in connection with the note and warrant issued to the noteholder. In addition, the note is personally guaranteed by the Company’s President, Wayne W. Mills, for which he was not compensated.

     During 2003, we obtained and repaid a $750,000 loan from a bank.

17


Table of Contents

     In 2001, $1,255,000 was loaned to an affiliate of Wayne W. Mills, Blake Capital Partners, under a note (“Note”) secured by 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and any dividends received on those shares. At the time the loan was made, Mr. Mills was a principal shareholder of the Company, and was subsequently elected as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. The Board of Directors of the Company negotiated an amendment to the security agreement (the “Amended and Restated Security Agreement”) which it believed to be beneficial to the Company. The Note as amended (the “New Note”) is in the principal amount of $1,496,370, and now provides for an October 31, 2007 due date, with interest at 2% over the prime rate established by Wells Fargo Bank, NA in Minneapolis, Minnesota, adjusted on March 1 and September 1 of each year, instead of the 12% rate established in the Note. Interest only is payable commencing March 1, 2004, and at the end of each six-month period thereafter. The New Note is with full recourse to Blake Capital Partners. The Amended and Restated Security Agreement, unlike the original Security Agreement, does not require us, or permit Blake Capital Partners or Mr. Mills, to cancel the shares of the Company’s common stock held as collateral as full payment of the loan, or require us to apply the value of those cancelled shares at $2.50 per share against the principal balance of the amounts due. In addition, Mr. Mills has personally guaranteed the repayment of the New Note.

     We obtained a mortgage to purchase the building housing Metalclad Insulation Corporation that provided net cash of $1,494,000 in 2002. During 2002, net cash of $37,500 was provided by proceeds from the exercise of common stock warrants.

     We used $1,176,000 of cash to repay long-term borrowings in 2001, primarily to repay Five-Year Zero Coupon Notes originally issued in December 1997, and $123,000 to repay long long-term borrowings in 2002. The uses of cash in 2001 were partially offset by the Company obtaining an accounts receivable revolving line of credit that provided $1,000,000 of cash flow, which was primarily used to repay the Five-Year Zero Coupon Notes discussed above. A private placement of the Company’s common stock and warrants completed by us in March 2001 also provided $600,000 of cash flow in 2001.

     Prior to 1975, we were engaged in the sale and installation of asbestos related insulation materials, and has been the subject of numerous claims of personal injury allegedly related to asbestos exposure. Many of these claims are now being brought by the children and close relatives of persons who have died, allegedly as a result of the direct or indirect exposure to asbestos.

     The number of asbestos related claims which have been initiated naming the us (primarily Metalclad Insulation Corporation) as a defendant had increased from 254 in 1999, 527 in 2000 and 685 in 2001. The number of claim initiated slightly decreased to 583 in 2002, and further decreased to 337 in 2003. As of December 31, 2003, there were approximately 1,212 asbestos cases pending, of which approximately 390 have been settled but not yet closed for lack of final documentation or payment. At December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, there were, respectively, approximately 860, 1,450 and 1,635 cases pending. It had been previously improperly reported in the Company’s Forms 10K for the period ended on December 31, 2002, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, that there were approximately 660 cases pending at December 31, 2002, and 700 cases pending at the end of 2001. Although, the number of claims made in 2002 and 2003 reflected a downward trend from 2001, and the number of cases pending on December 31, 2003, dropped from those pending on December 31, 2002, it cannot be assumed that this trend will continue. The sympathies of juries, the aggressiveness of the plaintiff’s bar, and the declining defendant base as a result of business failures, has also led to a trend of larger payments and settlements per claim.

     It is difficult to determine if we have adequate insurance to cover these claims. The terms of such insurance policies are complex, and the coverage for many types of claims is limited. If the current trend of the claim occurrence and amounts is not significantly reversed, it will likely have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and business in the future. Because of our insurance coverage, we do not anticipate any adverse effect on our financial condition to develop for at least the next four to five years. Beyond that, however, the effect of those claims is uncertain.

     In 2003, the United States Congress considered legislation to create a privately funded, publicly administered fund to provide the necessary resources for an asbestos injury claims resolution program. The latest draft of the legislation calls for the fund to be funded 50% by asbestos defendant companies, of which the Company is one, and 50% by insurance companies. The impact, if any, this potential legislation will have on us cannot be determined at this time, although the latest draft of the legislation did not appear favorable to us.

     During 2003, 2002, and 2001, we did not pay or declare any cash dividends and do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the near future.

     We believe that our cash, cash equivalents and borrowings available under the credit agreement should be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Foreign Currency Translation

     In the past we have been exposed to foreign currency translation risk due to our Mexican operations. Since we have discontinued our Mexican operations, we no longer have exposure to these risks.

Impact of Inflation

     We reflect price escalations in our quotations to our insulation customers and in the estimation of costs for materials and labor. For construction contracts based on a cost-plus or time-and-materials basis, the effect of inflation on us is negligible. For projects on a fixed-price basis, the effect of inflation may result in reduced profit margin or a loss as a result of higher costs to us as the contracts are completed; however, the majority of our contracts are completed within 12 months of their commencement and we believe that the impact of inflation on such contracts is insignificant.

Significant Accounting Policies

     Our critical accounting policies are those both having the most impact to the reporting of our financial condition and results, and requiring significant judgments and estimates. Our critical accounting policies include those related to (a) revenue recognition, (b) investments in unconsolidated affiliates and (c) allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable. Revenue recognition for fixed price insulation installation and asbestos abatement contracts are accounted for by the percentage-of-completion method, wherein costs and estimated earnings are included in revenues as the work is performed. If a loss on a fixed price contract is indicated, the entire amount of the estimated loss is accrued when known. We have made investments in privately-held companies, which can still be considered to be in the startup or development stages. The investments at less than 20% of ownership are initially recorded at cost and the carrying value is evaluated quarterly. We monitor these investments for impairment and make appropriate reductions in carrying values if we determine an impairment charge is required based primarily on the financial condition and near-term prospects of these companies. These investments are inherently risky, as the markets for the technologies or products these companies are developing are typically in the early stages and may never materialize. Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. The estimated allowance for uncollectible amounts is based primarily on our evaluation of the financial condition of the customer. Future changes in the financial condition of a customer may require an adjustment to the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable.

New Accounting Pronouncements

     In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. This amendment clarifies when a contract meets the characteristics of a derivative, clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component and amends certain other existing pronouncements. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

     In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. SFAS No. 150 requires the classification as a liability of any financial instruments with a mandatory redemption feature, an obligation to repurchase equity shares, or a conditional obligation based on the issuance of a variable number of its equity shares. We do not have any financial instruments as defined by SFAS No. 150. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

     In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (FIN 45). FIN 45 clarifies the requirements for a guarantor’s accounting for and disclosure of certain guarantees issued and outstanding. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of FIN 45 were applicable to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 2002. The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

     In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51” (FIN 46R). This standard replaces FIN 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” that was issued in January 2003. FIN 46R modifies or clarifies various provisions of FIN 46. FIN 46R addresses the consolidation of business enterprises of variable interest entities (VIE’s), as defined by FIN 46R. FIN 46R exempts certain entities from its requirements and provides for special effective dates for entities that have fully or partially applied FIN 46 prior to issuance of FIN46R. Otherwise, application of FIN 46R is required in financial statements of public entities that have interest in structures commonly referred to as special purpose entities for periods ending after December 15, 2003. Application by the Company for all other types of VIE’s is required in financial statements for periods ending no later than the quarter ended January 31, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 46R to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The fair value of our investments in available-for-sale securities at December 31, 2003 was approximately $279,000. The Company’s investment policy is to manage its available-for-sale securities portfolio to preserve principal and liquidity while maximizing the return on the investment portfolio. The principal available-for-sale securities are shares of Chiral Quest, Inc. stock (OTCBB CQST). Specific changes in the value of the common stock of Chiral Quest, Inc. will affect the fair value of the available-for-sale securities portfolio; however, such gains or losses would not be realized unless the investments were sold.

     Our long-term debt, note payable, and mortgage payable are subject to interest rate risk since the interest rate is not a fixed rate. We do not expect any fluctuations in the interest rates to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

     The consolidated financial statements and schedules listed in the accompanying Index to Consolidated Financial Statements are attached hereto and filed as a part of this Report under Item 15.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

     On April 4, 2002, Moss Adams LLP, the independent accountants previously engaged by us to conduct an audit of our accounts for 2001 and prior years, resigned as our auditors. On April 16, 2002 we engaged Virchow, Krause & Company, LLP, with offices in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to audit our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2002. We had not previously engaged or consulted with Virchow, Krause & Company, LLP on any matter prior to that engagement.

     The reports of Moss Adams LLP on our financial statements for the years 2001 and 2000 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting principles, but the report for 2000 did contain a paragraph regarding the uncertainty of the ability of the Company to remain a going concern. The opinion of Moss Adams LLP with respect to the financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2000, indicated that there was substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern without obtaining additional debt or equity capital.

     The engagement of Virchow, Krause & Company, LLP was approved by our Board of Directors.

     During our fiscal years 2000 and 2001, and during the subsequent interim period through April 4, 2002, (i) there were no disagreements between the management of the Company and Moss Adams LLP with respect our financial statements on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which if not resolved to the satisfaction of Moss Adams LLP, would have caused Moss Adams LLP to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports, and (ii) and there were no reportable events, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

     We carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our chief executive and chief financial officers, of the effectiveness, as of December 31, 2003, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, made at the end of the period, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them on a timely basis to material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that there has been no significant change in such internal control, or other factors which could significantly affect such controls including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, since our evaluation.

     Management is aware that there is lack of segregation of duties due to the small number of employees dealing with general administrative and financial matters. However, management has determined that considering the employees involved and the control procedures in place, risks associated with such lack of segregation are insignificant and the potential benefits of adding employees to clearly segregate duties does not justify the expenses associated with such increases.

Caldwell, to purchase 10,000 shares of Entrx’s common stock at $0.80 per share, which was the fair market value of those shares as reported on the NASDAQ Market System as of January 3, 2003. On the same date, the Stock Options Committee granted options to the same members of Entrx’s Board of Directors to purchase an additional 10,000 shares of Entrx’s common stock at $0.50 per share, which was in excess of the fair market value of those shares as reported on the NASDAQ Market System on that date. All options were granted under Entrx’s 2000 Omnibus Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended in 2002, which plan and amendment were approved by Entrx’s shareholders.

     Kenneth W. Brimmer, as Chairman of the Board of Directors, received monthly fees totaling $21,000 and reimbursement for medical insurance premiums, totaling approximately $17,000 in 2003. He currently receives $1,500 per month and continues to receive reimbursement for his medical insurance premiums.

If Mr. Mills’ employment is terminated as a result of a change in control of Entrx, he will be entitled to a severance salary equal to up to two years of his then annual base pay, depending upon the aggregate market value of Entrx’s common stock at the time. Under the Employment Agreement, Mr. Mills is entitled to an annual salary of $200,000. The salary may be increased to $250,000 per year if the Company achieves two consecutive quarters of net profit, retroactive to the beginning of such two-quarter period. In addition, Mr. Mills will be entitled to bonuses equal to (i) 5% of the increase in the aggregate market value of Entrx’s outstanding common stock from year to year, beginning with the year 2004, subject to certain adjustments and limitations as to amount, and (ii) 10% of the profit earned from the sale by the Company of NextNet Wireless, Inc. Series A Preferred Stock owned by Entrx, using a base value for that capital stock which equals the Company’s cost basis ($4.23 per share) through March 31, 2004, and increase annually thereafter at a rate of approximately 15% per year. If Entrx has not disposed of all of is shares of NextNet Wireless, Inc. Series A Preferred Stock as of March 31, 2008, Entrx will be obligated to pay Mr. Mills a bonus equal to 10% of the amount by which the then market value of NextNet Wireless, Inc. shares then owned by Entrx exceeds the aggregate base value of those shares calculated at $7.40 per share. Mr. Mills will be entitled to receive this bonus on NextNet Wireless, Inc. shares even if he is not employed by Entrx. Mr. Mills is also entitled to a fee equal to 3% of any amount of debt of Entrx that he guarantees at the request of the Company’s Board of Directors and any lender. As a result of this provision, Mr. Mills was entitled to a guarantee fee of $92,880 with respect to a line of credit loan and mortgage loan extended to Entrx’s subsidiary Metalclad Insulation Corporation, in October 2003, by the Far East National Bank, Anaheim, California, and a guarantee fee of $16,230 with respect to the issuance of a letter of credit to secure an aggregate of $541,000 in bonds for the completion of construction projects by Metalclad Insulation Corporation. Although Entrx has a right of set-off against monies owed to Mr. Mills in connection with

the payment of any guarantee fee, none of the guarantee fees paid were applied to the debt of Blake Capital Partners, LLC to Entrx.

Loan to Affiliate of Wayne Mills

     On December 10, 2001, Entrx loaned Blake Capital Partners, LLC (“Blake Capital”), a Minnesota limited liability company, $1,250,000 under a non-recourse secured note (the “Note”). Blake Capital is wholly owned by Wayne W. Mills who later became a director and the President of Entrx on February 13, 2002. The Note with interest at the rate of 6% per annum, was due June 10, 2002. Blake Capital had the right to extend the due date of the Note for up to 90 days, and on June 10, 2002, exercised that right. During the 90-day extension period and beyond, the rate of interest increased to 12% per annum. The Note was not repaid on the extended due date of September 8, 2002.

     As security for the loan, Mr. Mills pledged 500,000 shares of Entrx’s common stock, under the terms of a pledge agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”) dated as of December 10, 2001. In October 2002, Entrx spun off shares of Chiral Quest, Inc. common stock as a dividend to its shareholders, on the basis of one share of Chiral Quest, Inc. common stock for each two shares of Entrx common stock held as of October 11, 2002. Prior to the dividend, Chiral Quest, Inc. (then Surg II, Inc.) was a 90% owned subsidiary of Entrx. As a result of the dividend, Mr. Mills received 250,000 shares of the common stock of Chiral Quest, Inc., which were added to the 500,000 shares of Entrx’s common stock held as collateral for the loan.

     The Pledge Agreement provided that Mr. Mills would retain voting power over the collateralized shares until such shares are either cancelled or sold to satisfy the loan under the terms of the Note and Pledge Agreement. To satisfy its obligations under the Note, all or a portion of the 500,000 shares of Entrx common stock, or 250,000 shares of Chiral Quest, Inc. common stock, could have been sold at the direction of Blake Capital, in which case the proceeds of such sale would have been applied against the principal and interest due under the Note. The terms of the Note also provided that Blake Capital could request that the Entrx shares be cancelled, in which case they could have carried a value of $2.50 per share which would be applied against the amount due under the Note. If the Note was in default, Entrx could have cancelled the shares at a value of $2.50 per share, and apply the amount cancelled against the principal and interest due under the Note. Although the Pledge Agreement was not clear, Entrx took the position that the $2.50 value related to one share of Entrx common stock and one-half share of Chiral Quest, Inc. common stock.

     Since the Note was non-recourse to Blake Capital, neither Blake Capital nor Mr. Mills had any personal liability under the Note, except for the interest on the Note, and Entrx’s only recourse for repayment of the Note was the 500,000 shares of Entrx common stock, and 250,000 shares of Chiral Quest, Inc. common stock, pledged as security. The market value of the stock held as collateral exceeded the principal balance of the Note since it became due, and the Board of Directors did not take any action to foreclose on the collateral.

     Mr. Mills began acquiring Entrx common stock in the open market as an investment in November 2000, and by August 31, 2001, had acquired 15% of Entrx’s outstanding common stock. Under certain provisions of the Delaware Corporation Law (the “Delaware Law”), if a shareholder acquires 15% of the outstanding common stock of a corporation incorporated under the Delaware Law without prior approval of the Board of Directors of that corporation, the corporation is precluded for a period of three years after acquiring the 15% interest (or until April 21, 2004 in Mr. Mills’ case) from entering into certain transactions, without the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of Entrx’s outstanding common stock, excluding the shares owned by the 15% or greater shareholder. The precluded transactions would include any merger or consolidation of Entrx and certain of its subsidiaries with any other corporation in which Mr. Mills had an interest, certain mergers or consolidations which might be considered as caused by Mr. Mills under the statute, and the receipt by Mr. Mills of any loan, advance, guarantee, pledge or other financial benefit. The loan evidenced by the Note was made to Mr. Mills when he owned more than 15% of the outstanding common stock of Entrx. Although members of the Board of Directors of Entrx were aware of Mr. Mills’ purchases of Entrx common stock, no official prior approval for such purchases was given by the Board of Directors. As a result, the loan was likely in violation of Section 203 of the Delaware Corporation Law. The Board of Directors of Entrx, Entrx’s management and Mr. Mills indicated that they were unaware of the provisions of said Section 203 at the time the loan was made.

Modification of Loan to Affiliate of Wayne Mills

     The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was adopted on August 1, 2002, while the loan to Blake Capital Partners, as discussed in the foregoing section entitled “Loan to Affiliate of Wayne W. Mills,” was outstanding. Under Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, it is unlawful for any company registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to make a personal loan to any directors or executive officers of that company. The provision also provides that a loan outstanding on the date of the enactment of Section 402 is not in violation of that provision, provided that there is no material modification to any terms of the loan after such enactment. The independent members of the Board of Directors, taking into consideration the purpose and policy of Section 402, have concluded that the prohibition against any modification to the loan to Mr. Mills would not be applicable where the modification was, in their reasonably exercised determination, on balance materially beneficial to Entrx.

     Accordingly, for several months beginning in August 2003, the independent members of Entrx’s Board of Directors, constituting the Audit Committee, negotiated an amendment to the Note and Pledge Agreement with Blake Capital Partners and Mr. Mills, which culminated in the execution of an amendment to the Pledge Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Pledge Agreement”) which they believed to be beneficial to the Entrx. The Note as amended (the “New Note”) is in the principal amount of $1,496,370, and now provides for an October 31, 2007 due date, with interest at 2% over the prime rate established by Wells Fargo Bank, NA in Minneapolis, Minnesota, adjusted on March 1 and September 1 of each year, instead of the 12% rate established in the Note. Interest only is payable commencing March 1, 2004, and at the end of each six-month period thereafter. The New Note is now with full recourse to Blake and the Amended and Restated Pledge Agreement does not require Entrx, nor permit Blake or Mr. Mills, to cancel the shares of Entrx’s common stock, and require Entrx to apply the value of those cancelled shares at $2.50 per share, to be applied against the principal balance of the amounts due. In addition, Mr. Mills has personally guaranteed the repayment of the New Note.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

Auditors

     The Board of Directors of Entrx selected Moss Adams, LLP (“Moss Adams”), certified public accountants, to audit the accounts of Entrx for the year ended December 31, 2001, and to perform other appropriate accounting services for Entrx as needed.

     On April 4, 2002, Moss Adams, LLP (“Moss Adams”), resigned as Entrx’s auditors. The report of Moss Adams on the consolidated financial statements of Entrx for the years 2000 and 2001 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. The resignation of Moss Adams was not sought, recommended or approved by the Audit Committee or Board of Directors of Entrx. There were no disagreements between the management of Entrx and Moss Adams with respect to the consolidated financial statements of Entrx for the years 2000 and 2001, or any interim period, or any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which were not resolved to the satisfaction of Moss Adams or which would have caused Moss Adams to make reference to the subject matter or any such disagreement in connection with rendering its report on those consolidated financial statements. Moss Adams had audited the accounts of Entrx since 1998.

     On April 16, 2002, upon the recommendation and approval of the Audit Committee, Entrx engaged Virchow Krause & Company, LLP (“Virchow Krause”), certified public accountants with offices in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to audit Entrx’s consolidated financial statements for 2002 and to perform other appropriate accounting services for Entrx as needed. Entrx had not previously engaged Virchow Krause on any matter. Virchow Krause & Company was engaged directly by the Audit Committee to provide its services with respect to Entrx’s 2003 fiscal year.

Audit Fees

     Virchow Krause billed Entrx $48,332 and $51,523 for the annual audit of Entrx’s consolidated financial statements, and the review of Entrx’s consolidated financial statements included in Entrx’s quarterly reports on Form 10Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, for the 2002 and 2003 fiscal years, respectively.

Audit-Related Fees

     Virchow Krause billed Entrx $16,678 for assurance and related services provided to Entrx that are not included under the caption “Audit Fee” above, and were reasonably related to the performance of its audit or review of Entrx’s financial statements for the 2002 fiscal year. Such services were provided in connection with due diligence activities with respect to a possible acquisition by Entrx which did not occur. No such services were billed in 2003.

Tax Fees

     Virchow Krause billed Entrx $22,225 and $7,550 for services in connection with tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning for the 2002 and 2003 fiscal years, respectively. The services billed for in 2003 were in connection with the preparation of Entrx’s 2002 federal and state income tax returns. The fees billed in 2002 were for tax consulting advice in connection with the spin-off of a 90%-owned subsidiary of Entrx, Surg II, Inc., in October 2002.

All Other Fees

     Virchow Krause billed Entrx $5,420 in 2002 for all products and services not included under the captions “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees” or “Tax Fees” above. Such services were provided to Surg II, Inc., Entrx’s 90%-owned subsidiary. No such services were provided or billed in 2003.

Approval by Audit Committee

     According to Entrx’s Audit Committee charter, all services provided to Entrx by its independent auditors must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee pre-approved of the engagement of Virchow Krause related to (i) the audit of the financial accounts of Entrx for 2003, and to provide its report thereon, (ii) the preparation of our 2003 federal and state income tax returns, and (iii) the review of our quarterly reports on Form 10Q filed in 2003. No other services, other than those set forth in the foregoing sentence, were performed by Virchow Krause & Company on our behalf in 2003, except for services previously approved and performed with respect to the audit of our financial statements for 2002.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Shareholders, Audit Committee and Board of Directors
Entrx Corporation
Minneapolis, Minnesota

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Entrx Corporation as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Entrx Corporation as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Entrx Corporation (formerly Metalclad Corporation):

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows of Entrx Corporation (a Delaware Corporation) and Subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.

An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Entrx Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year in the period ended December 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

    Entrx Corporation, formerly Metalclad Corporation (the “Company”) is engaged in insulation services, including asbestos abatement and material sales, to customers primarily in California (the “Insulation Business”). Until 1999, the Company was engaged in the development of hazardous and non-hazardous industrial waste treatment and storage facilities, as well as the collection and recycling of industrial waste for disposition to landfills or as alternative fuels for cement kilns in Mexico (the “Mexican Business”).

    In 1997, the Company filed a claim against the United Mexican States under the North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”) to recover the value of its investment in a completed, but unopened, treatment, storage and disposal facility in San Luis Potosi. During the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company determined, that due to political opposition in Mexico, its Mexican operations would not be successful and committed to a plan to discontinue its Mexican operations to minimize future losses and halted any further investment in Mexico. The Company settled its claims against the Mexican Government in October 2001 for $16,002,000. This settlement completed the Company’s activities in Mexico and essentially closed out all discontinued operations in Mexico.

    Principles of Consolidation

    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

    The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Surg II, Inc. from May 30, 2002, the date on which the Company first owned over 50% of the voting stock of Surg II, Inc., to October 22, 2002, the date on which the Company owned less than 50% of the voting stock of Surg II, Inc.

    Cash and Cash Equivalents

    The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The Company deposits its cash in high credit quality financial institutions. The balances, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.

    Investments

    Investments held by the Company are classified as available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value with all unrealized gains or losses included in other comprehensive income. The fair value of the securities was determined by quoted market prices of the underlying security. Proceeds of $239,379 and $569,568 was received and a loss on sale of available-for-sale securities of $14,989, net of reclassification adjustment for loss included in net loss of $14,368 and a gain on sale of available-for-sale securities of $57,056 was recorded on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. For purposes of determining gross realized gains, the cost of available-for-sale securities is based on specific identification.

    The Company also has minority investments in privately held companies. These investments are included in investments in unconsolidated affiliates on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are carried at cost unless the fair value of the investment below the cost basis is judged to be other-than-temporary. The Company monitors these investments for impairment and makes appropriate reductions in carrying values. (See Note 24)

    Restricted Cash

    At December 31, 2002, restricted cash of $2,110,870 consisted of balances legally restricted as to withdrawal and comprise a certificate of deposit collateralizing a letter of credit issued by Community Bank for the benefit of a customer of the Company’s insulation subsidiary. The letter of credit was in lieu of a performance and payment bond required by the contract with the customer and the certificate of deposit was released on March 25, 2003.

    Accounts Receivable

    The Company reviews customers’ credit history before extending unsecured credit and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers and other information. Invoices are generally issued with Net 30 day terms. Accounts receivable over 30 days are considered past due. The Company does not accrue interest on past due accounts receivable. Receivables are written-off only after all collection attempts have failed and are based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the customer.

    Financial Instruments

    The carrying amounts for all financial instruments approximates fair value. The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of long-term debt, note payable to bank, convertible note payable, mortgage payable and capital lease obligation approximates the carrying amounts based upon the Company’s expected borrowing rate for debt with similar remaining maturities and comparable risk.

    Inventories

    Inventories, which consist principally of insulation products and related materials, are stated at the lower of cost (determined on the first-in, first-out method) or market.

    Depreciation and Amortization

    Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of related assets which range from three to five years for machinery and equipment and thirty years for the building and related improvements. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are expensed when incurred.

    Advertising Cost

    Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs totaled approximately $0, $2,400 and $1,400 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

    Revenue Recognition

    Fixed price insulation installation and asbestos abatement contracts are accounted for by the percentage-of-completion method wherein costs and estimated earnings are included in revenues as the work is performed. If a loss on a fixed price contract is indicated, the entire amount of the estimated loss is accrued when known. Time and material contracts are accounted for under a cost plus fee basis. Retentions by customers under contract terms are due at contract completion.

    Income/Loss Per Share

    The Company computes income (loss) per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 128, “Earnings Per Share”. This statement requires the presentation of both basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for financial statement purposes. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share includes the effect of the potential shares outstanding, including dilutive stock options, warrants and convertible debt using the treasury stock method. Options and warrants totaling 3,448,080 and

    3,207,333 were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, as their effect was antidilutive. Following is a reconciliation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share:

    Stock-Based Compensation

    In accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations, the Company uses the intrinsic value-based method for measuring stock-based compensation cost which measures compensation cost as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock at the grant date over the amount the employee must pay for the stock. The Company’s general policy is to grant stock options and warrants at fair value at the date of grant. Options and warrants issued to non-employees are recorded at fair value, as required by SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” (Statement 123), using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Company adopted the disclosure-only requirement of SFAS No.148, “Stock Based Compensation.”

    The Company applies APB No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its stock options and warrants. Accordingly, $186,021 and $959,016 of compensation cost has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. Had compensation costs for the Company’s stock options and warrants been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net income (loss) and income (loss) per share would have been changed to the approximate pro forma amounts indicated below:

Weighted average fair value of options granted
  $ 0.31     $ 1.56     $ 1.26  

    Concentration of Credit Risk

    Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash and contract receivables. Contract receivables are concentrated primarily with utility companies located in Southern California. Historically, the Company’s credit losses have been insignificant.

    Income Taxes

    Deferred taxes are provided using the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

     Comprehensive Income

    SFAS 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” establishes rules for the reporting of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income consists of net income, unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities and foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity. During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company recorded other comprehensive loss of $59,523 and other comprehensive income of $147,613, respectively, for unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities. The Company previously recorded other comprehensive income (loss) on its Mexican subsidiaries for foreign currency translation gains (losses). During the year ended December 31, 2001, as a result of the NAFTA settlement and the write-off of the remaining Mexican assets from discontinued operations, the Company realized $1,555,423 of foreign currency translation losses. The amount is included in the net gain from discontinued operations in 2001.

    Reclassifications

    Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year consolidated financial statements to conform with the current year presentation.

    New Accounting Pronouncements

    In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. This amendment clarifies when a contract meets the characteristics of a derivative, clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component and amends certain other existing pronouncements. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

    In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. SFAS No. 150 requires the classification as a liability of any financial instruments with a mandatory redemption feature, an

F-10


Table of Contents

    obligation to repurchase equity shares, or a conditional obligation based on the issuance of a variable number of its equity shares. The Company does not have any financial instruments as defined by SFAS No. 150. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

    In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (FIN 45). FIN 45 clarifies the requirements for a guarantor’s accounting for and disclosure of certain guarantees issued and outstanding. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of FIN 45 were applicable to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 2002. The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

    In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51” (FIN 46R). This standard replaces FIN 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” that was issued in January 2003. FIN 46R modifies or clarifies various provisions of FIN 46. FIN 46R addresses the consolidation of business enterprises of variable interest entities (VIE’s), as defined by FIN 46R. FIN 46R exempts certain entities from its requirements and provides for special effective dates for entities that have fully or partially applied FIN 46 prior to issuance of FIN46R. Otherwise, application of FIN 46R is required in financial statements of public entities that have interest in structures commonly referred to as special purpose entities for periods ending after December 15, 2003. Application by the Company for all other types of VIE’s is required in financial statements for periods ending no later than the quarter ended January 31, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 46R to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

    Use of Estimates

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.

    Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

    The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property and intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the estimated future cash flows from the use of the asset are less than the carrying amount of that asset. To date, there have been no such losses.

NOTE 2 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

    In 1991, the Company embarked on a strategy to develop an integrated industrial waste management business in Mexico. After seven years of developing this business, the Company determined that its efforts would not be successful due to political opposition in Mexico. Consequently, in the fourth quarter of 1998, Management committed to a plan to sell its Mexican operations to a third party.

    The Company’s discontinued operations contained two components: 1) ongoing operations and development and 2) the landfill assets associated with its NAFTA claim. In the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company completed a sale of its ongoing operations and development.

    In October 2001, the Company settled its claim against the United Mexican States for $16,002,433. After writing off all assets associated with the settlement of the claim and recognizing expenses related to the settlement, the Company realized a net gain of $7,079,000. The gain is the $16,002,433 settlement amount net of legal fees of $1,171,991, NAFTA related bonuses of $840,000, the write-off of all assets associated with the settlement of the Company’s claim of $5,356,293 and a foreign currency translation write-off of $1,555,423. No future costs are anticipated, however, if any arise, they will be charged to operations as incurred. This completed the Company’s activities in Mexico and essentially closed out all discontinued operations in Mexico.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS

    On May 29, 2002, the Company acquired 145,000,000 shares of Surg II, Inc. (“Surg II”) common stock, constituting approximately 90% of the outstanding shares of Surg II for $3,000,000 invested into Surg II, and on September 25, 2002 acquired an additional 14,285,714 shares by investing an additional $300,000 into Surg II. Goodwill from these transactions was $387,994, which is not deductible for tax purposes. Prior to the acquisition, Surg II had sold all of its assets and discontinued its former business of manufacturing and marketing medical products.

    The 159,285,714 shares of no par value common stock of Surg II owned by the Company became 3,982,142 shares of $0.01 par value common stock as of the close of business on October 4, 2002, as the result of a one for 40 reverse stock split of Surg II’s common stock.

    On October 22, 2002, the Company distributed 3,791,576 shares of Surg II to its shareholders as a dividend. Each shareholder of record as of October 11, 2002 received one share of Surg II, Inc. common stock for every two shares of Entrx Corporation common stock held. The Company still owns 190,566 shares of Surg II common stock.

    The consolidated balance sheet for December 31, 2002 would remain the same since the acquisition and dividend of Surg II both occurred during 2002.

    The results of operations on an unaudited pro forma basis for the year ended December 31, 2002 are not presented separately as the results do not differ significantly from historical amounts presented herein.

    Information for the periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2001 would remain the same since the acquisition and dividend of Surg II both occurred during 2002.

NOTE 4 – RESTRUCTURING

    In connection with their resignations and corporate restructuring, and in lieu of compensation which would otherwise be due under change of control provisions contained in previously executed and adopted employment contracts, which were amended and restated as of January 1, 2002, the Company issued the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer 140,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, forgave a loan due from the officer in the amount of $543,000 in exchange for future consulting services and paid the officer $832,000 in cash. In addition the Company issued the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer 86,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and paid the officer $637,000 in cash. In addition, all outstanding unvested stock options held by the prior Board of Directors, including the former Chief Executive and Financial Officers, were immediately vested and became exercisable. The former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer each agreed to act as consultants to the Company under two-year and three-month consulting agreements, respectively. In addition to the payment discussed above, the former Chief Financial Officer’s compensation for consulting was $5,000 per month.

    In March 2002, the Company reimbursed Mr. Wayne Mills, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, $100,000 for legal fees expended by him to effect this change in management.

    For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company recognized $3,332,726 of expense related to the change of management, including insurance premiums, legal fees, severance pay and relocation of the Company’s headquarters. The cash payments related to these expenses were approximately $2,008,000. The non-cash charges primarily relate to the forgiveness of the loan due from the former Chief Executive Officer, the issuance of common stock to the two former officers, the expense pursuant to APB No. 25 and related interpretations related to the accelerated vesting of stock options for the prior directors.

NOTE 7 – NOTE RECEIVABLE

    On November 4, 2002 the Company entered an agreement whereby it would lend up to $2.5 million to Zamba Corporation (“Zamba”) in the form of a collateralized convertible note. The note, when fully funded, was convertible into common stock of Zamba, or at the Company’s option, was payable by Zamba in shares of NextNet Wireless, Inc. (“NextNet”) Series A Preferred Stock owned by Zamba and which collateralized the note. The note was not repayable in cash. The agreement also gave the Company the option to acquire additional shares of NextNet Series A Preferred Stock. The Company had advanced $1,000,000 on the note as of December 31, 2002. On January 13, 2003, the Company advanced $100,000 and on February 17, 2003, advanced an additional $650,000 on the note. On February 17, 2003, the Company amended its agreement with Zamba whereby the total amount the Company would lend to Zamba was reduced to $1,750,000, the provision allowing the Company to convert the loan into Zamba’s

F-13


Table of Contents

    common stock was removed and the option the Company had to purchase an additional 750,000 shares of NextNet Series A Preferred Stock from Zamba was also removed. The loan was not repayable in cash, but was repayable through conversion into shares of Zamba’s NextNet Series A Preferred Stock. The note matured on March 31, 2003, and was converted in to 415,340 shares of NextNet Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of NextNet Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into three shares of NextNet common stock. On November 4, 2002, Mr. Wayne Mills, the CEO of the Company, owned approximately 6.3% of the outstanding common stock of Zamba and approximately 3.3% of NextNet and as of December 31, 2003 Mr. Mills owns approximately 1.4% of NextNet. (See Notes 8 and 22)

NOTE 8 — INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES

    In 1989, the Company entered into a joint venture with a minority service firm (“Curtom-Metalclad”) to perform industrial insulation and industrial asbestos abatement services similar to those performed by the Company. When contracts are obtained by the joint venture, the Company performs the work specified in the contract as a subcontractor to the joint venture. Curtom-Metalclad’s operations and financial position are not material to the Company taken as a whole. Additionally, the assets and liabilities held by the joint venture are insignificant.

    In November 2001, the Company purchased 56,338 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of Catalytic Solutions, Inc. for $1,000,000. Catalytic Solutions is a privately held materials science technology company focused on applying its technology to improve the performance and reduce the cost of automotive catalytic converters. Each preferred share may be converted into one share of common stock at any time by the Company, subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends, reclassifications and the like. All preferred shares will automatically convert into fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock (1) if Catalytic Solutions closes a firmly underwritten public offering of shares of common stock with aggregate net proceeds of at least $20 million and a per share public offering price of at least 1.5 times the per share purchase price of the preferred shares or (2) upon the consent or agreement of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock.

    In March 2003, the Company converted a note receivable from Zamba Corporation into 415,340 shares of NextNet Wireless, Inc. Series A Preferred Stock owned by Zamba. NextNet is a privately held provider of non-line-of-sight plug-and-play broadband wireless access systems. Each preferred share is convertible into one share of common stock. (See Note 24)

NOTE 11 – CONVERTIBLE DEBT

    Convertible Promissory Note

    In December 2003, the Company issued a $1,300,000, 10% convertible promissory note (effective interest rate of 39.3%). The note requires interest only payments through April 15, 2004, and thereafter is payable in equal monthly installments over the next 33 months. The note is convertible by the noteholder into common stock of the Company at $1.35 per share, and allows the Company, subject to certain conditions and limitations, to make monthly installment payments with its common stock at a price per share approximating the then market value. In connection with the financing the Company paid a 3% origination fee, issued a five year warrant for the purchase of 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.50 per share, and granted the noteholder a security interest in 249,200 shares of NextNet Wireless, Inc. Series A Preferred Stock, and 33,800 shares of Catalytic Solutions, Inc. Series C Preferred Stock, owned by the Company. The proceeds of $1,300,000 were allocated between the note, and the fair value of the warrants based on using the Black Scholes pricing model. The resulting original issue discount, the fair value of the warrant, and the beneficial conversion of the note payable into common stock as defined in EITF 00-27 “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments”), is being amortized over the life of the note using the straight-line method, which approximates the interest method. In addition, the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, covering the issuance or resale of the shares of the Company’s common stock which may be issued in connection with the note and warrant issued to the noteholder. In addition, the note is personally guaranteed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Principal maturities over the next five years are as follows:

It had been previously improperly reported in the Company’s Forms 10K for the period ended December 31, 2002, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, that there were approximately 660 cases pending at December 31, 2002, and 700 cases pending at the end of 2001. Although, the number of claims made in 2002 and 2003 reflected a downward trend from 2001, and the number of cases pending on December 31, 2003, dropped from those pending on December 31, 2002, it cannot be assumed that this trend will continue. The sympathies of juries, the aggressiveness of the plaintiff’s bar, and the declining defendant base as a result of business failures, has also led to a trend of larger payments and settlements per claim.

    In the past the Company believed that it had adequate insurance to cover these claims; however, the terms of such insurance policies are complex and the coverage for many types of claims is limited. If the current trend of the claim occurrence and amounts is not significantly reversed, it will likely have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and business in the future. Because of the Company’s insurance coverage, it does not anticipate any adverse effect on its financial condition to develop for at least the next four to five years. Beyond that, however, the effect of those claims is uncertain.

    In 2003 the United States Congress considered legislation to create a privately funded, publicly administered fund to provide the necessary resources for an asbestos injury claims resolution program. The latest draft of the legislation called for the fund to be funded 50% by asbestos defendant companies, of which the Company is one, and 50% by insurance companies. The impact, if any, this potential legislation will have on us cannot be determined at this time.

    In October 1999, the Company completed the sale of its operating businesses and its development project located in Aguascalientes, Mexico. The sale specifically excluded those Mexican assets involved in the Company’s NAFTA claim. Under the terms of the sale the Company received an initial cash payment of $125,000 and recorded a receivable for $779,000. On November 13, 2000, the Company filed a complaint in the Superior Court of California against a former employee, the U.S. parent of the buyer and its representative for breach of contract, fraud, collusion and other causes of action in connection with this sale. The Company has suffered damages and continues to accrue damages and a monetary award is sought as the remedy. An arbitration hearing was held in September, 2002 in Mexico City, as requested by one of the defendants. This arbitration hearing was solely to determine the validity of the assignment of the purchase and sale agreement by the buyer to a company formed by the former employee defendant. The Superior Court action against the U.S. parent was stayed pending the Mexican arbitration. On April 8, 2003, the arbitrator ruled that the assignment was inexistent, due to the absence of consent from the Company. In June 2003, the Court of Appeal for the State of California ruled that the U.S. parent was also entitled to compel a Mexican arbitration of the claims raised in the Company’s complaint. The Company is prepared to now file the arbitration claim for the aforementioned damages. No assurances can be given on the outcome. The Company has fully reserved its $779,000 note receivable, which was recorded at the date of sale, but will continue to pursue its claims.

    In a related action, a default was entered against the Company in December, 2002, in favor of the same former employee referred to in the foregoing paragraph by the Mexican Federal Labor Arbitration Board, for an unspecified amount. The former employee was seeking in excess of $9,000,000 in damages as a result of his termination as an employee. The default was obtained without the proper notice being given to the Company, and was set aside in the quarter ended June 30, 2003. Most of the evidentiary hearings on the merits of the former employee’s claim have taken place and we are preparing for final arguments. The Company believes this claim is without merit and intends to vigorously defend against the claim.

    On February 5, 2003, a Notice of Involuntary Lien was filed against the Company with the County Recorder for Orange County California in the amount of $104,046. This lien relates to a judgment against the Company for attorney fees in the Company’s NAFTA settlement. The total amount of the claim including interest and collection costs is $111,406. Subsequent to the lien being filed, $27,050 was paid to the lien holder from a trust fund established by the Company and a third party to pay for any judgments and defense costs related to this lawsuit. The Company agreed to pay the remaining $84,356 of the claim in three installments. At December 31, 2003, the Company paid the judgment in full.

    The Company has been indemnified by the third party against any judgments and costs related to this lawsuit in excess of the trust fund and has contacted the third party seeking indemnification. The third party has refused to honor its indemnification obligation and the Company has therefore initiated legal proceedings against the third party. The third party has filed a cross-complaint against the Company seeking $100,000 due to undue influence, duress, fraud, unconscionability and conspiracy related to the original indemnification agreement. The Company believes the cross-complaint is without merit. Due to the uncertainty regarding indemnification, during the year ended December 31, 2003 the Company recorded $84,356 of expense related to the remaining balance of the claim. The Company’s policy is to record any legal costs associated with a loss contingency when incurred.

    Stock Repurchase Program

    In July 2002, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to 1,000,000 common shares of the Company’s common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company repurchased 260,000 shares for $158,606 and during the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company repurchased 194,800 shares for $222,159.

    Letters of Credit

    On October 1, 2002, Community Bank issued a $2,100,000 standby letter of credit on behalf of the Company for the benefit of a customer of the Company’s insulation subsidiary. The letter of credit is fully secured by the Company’s certificate of deposit at Community Bank. The letter of credit was in lieu of a performance and payment bond required by the contract with the customer and was released on March 25, 2003.

    In August 2003, Arrowhead Consulting Group (“Arrowhead”) agreed to arrangements with the Company which resulted in the issuance of completion bonds benefiting a joint venture of Metalclad Insulation Corporation for two projects. The issuer of the bonds required credit enhancement and accepted letters of credit issued by M&I Bank through the efforts of Arrowhead. As compensation for Arrowhead having its bank issue its letters of credit, the Company agreed to pay a fee and issue a three-year warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at $1.50 per share, to Arrowhead, valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model at $98,592. In addition, the Company provided collateral in the form of an assignment of shares of NextNet Wireless, Inc. preferred stock owned by the Company and Wayne Mills, the Company’s CEO, provided Arrowhead with his personal guaranty. At December 31, 2003 the bonds remain outstanding.

    Other Matters

    The Company had under contract uncompleted work at bid prices totaling approximately $5,559,000 and $5,848,000 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

    Employment Agreement

    The Company has an employment agreement with one of its officers, which expires at-will. The agreement requires minimum annual compensation of $200,000, plus an annual incentive bonus as defined in the agreement and six months severance, in the event of sale or merger of the Company or if terminated without cause.

    The Company also has an employment agreement with another one of its officers, which expires in April 2006. The agreement requires minimum annual compensation of $165,000, plus an annual bonus as defined in the agreement and three months severance, in the event of sale or merger of the Company or if terminated without cause.

NOTE 22 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    During fiscal 1995 the Company loaned $740,000 to two officers of the Company, Mr. Neveau and Mr. Kesler. In February 1996, the officers each repaid $150,000 to the Company. In March 1996, the notes were amended to modify the loan principal and to adjust the interest rates, effective March 1, 1996, to a variable rate based upon the Company’s quarterly investment rate. In December 2001, Mr. Neveau’s note was written off and in February 2002, Mr. Kesler’s note was amended to be forgiven over time, in consideration for consulting services.
 
    In November, 2000, the Board of Directors approved advances against legal costs on behalf of Mr. Kesler, the Company’s former CEO, in his pursuit of certain personal legal matters related to his position in the Company. As of December 31, 2000, Mr. Kesler owed the Company $57,000 related to these advances, which may be recoverable from pending litigation. In December, 2001, the Company assumed these legal fees and all rights of recovery against the defendants.
 
    A former officer and director of the Company, who resigned in February 2002, is a partner in a law firm which has received payments for legal fees of $0, $42,888 and $196,637 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
 
    On December 10, 2001 the Company issued a $1,250,000, 6%, non-recourse secured note to Blake Capital Partners, LLC (“Blake”), an entity controlled 100% by Wayne Mills. On February 14, 2002 Mr. Mills became President and Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. The note was collateralized by 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and any dividends received on the 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Collateral”), owned by Blake and Mr. Mills. The principal and interest was due June 10, 2002. Blake had the right to extend the maturity date of this note for a period of 90 days, and on June 10, 2002 exercised that right. During the 90-day extension period and beyond, simple interest was payable at 12% per annum. The note was not repaid on the extended due date of September 8, 2002. As of December 31, 2002, the market value of the common stock held as Collateral was $863,000, $387,000 less than the face amount of the note. The Company recorded a $387,000 allowance to record the face amount of the note at the value of the underlying Collateral on December 31, 2002. The carrying value continued to fluctuate as the market value of the Collateral changed.
 
    Effective November 1, 2003, the promissory note (the “Note”) referred to above and the Security and Pledge Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) relating to the securities pledged as collateral for such loan were amended. The Note was previously due on September 8, 2002. At that time, $1,250,000 of principal and approximately $75,000 of interest were due under the Note. The Note (except for the interest) was without recourse to Blake, but was secured under the terms of the Security Agreement by 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and 250,000 shares of the common stock of Chiral Quest, Inc. (OTCBB:CQST), owned by Blake and Mr. Mills. The common stock of Chiral Quest, Inc. was spun out to the Company’s shareholders of record as of October 11, 2002, as a one-for-two stock dividend. Under the Security Agreement, the Company’s only recourse was to cancel the Company’s common stock held as collateral at $2.50 per share. In addition, Blake had the right to require the Company to cancel the shares of the Company’s common stock held as collateral, and apply the value of the

F-24


Table of Contents

    Company’s common stock at $2.50 per share. Since the Security Agreement did not anticipate the situation where the Company spun off a subsidiary as a dividend, it was not clear under the Security Agreement as to how shares of Chiral Quest, Inc. were to be treated. The closing per share purchase prices of the Company’s and Chiral Quest, Inc., common stock on October 31, 2003, were $1.22 and $1.95, respectively, placing an aggregate market value on shares of the Company and Chiral Quest, Inc. held as collateral on that date at $610,000 and $487,500, respectively.
 
    The Board of Directors of the Company negotiated an amendment to the Security Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Security Agreement”) which it believed to be beneficial to the Company. The Note as amended (the “New Note”) is in the principal amount of $1,496,370, and now provides for an October 31, 2007 due date, with interest at 2% over the prime rate established by Wells Fargo Bank, NA in Minneapolis, Minnesota, adjusted on March 1 and September 1 of each year (6% at December 31, 2003), instead of the 12% rate established in the Note. Interest only is payable commencing March 1, 2004, and at the end of each six-month period thereafter. The New Note is with full recourse to Blake and the Amended and Restated Security Agreement does not require the Company, or permit Blake or Mr. Mills, to cancel the shares of the Company’s common stock, and require the Company to apply the value of those cancelled shares at $2.50 per share, to be applied against the principal balance of the amounts due. In addition, Mr. Mills has personally guaranteed the repayment of the New Note. At December 31, 2003, the note receivable balance, including interest, was $1,511,375. At December 31, 2002, the note receivable balance, including interest and an allowance for officer receivable, was $984,438.
 
    A director and an officer of the Company are employed by a corporation which has received payments for rent, health insurance and consulting services of approximately $187,601 and $174,209 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
 
    According to the terms of his employment agreement, the Company paid its Chief Executive Officer $109,110 in consideration of his personal guarantee of the debt obligations with Far East Bank and to Arrowhead. (See Notes 12, 14 and 20)
 
    In November 2002, the Company entered an agreement whereby it lent $1.75 million to Zamba Corporation (“Zamba”) in the form of a collateralized convertible note. The note matured on March 31, 2003, and was converted in to 415,340 shares of NextNet Wireless, Inc. Series A Preferred Stock owned by Zamba. Each share of NextNet Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into three shares of NextNet common stock. Mr. Wayne Mills, the CEO of the Company, owned approximately 6.3% of the outstanding common stock of Zamba on the date of the agreement and owned approximately 1.4% of NextNet Wireless, Inc. on December 31, 2003. (see Note 7)

NOTE 24 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT

    In March 2003, the Company converted a note receivable from Zamba Corporation into 415,340 shares of NextNet Wireless, Inc. Series A Preferred Stock owned by Zamba. NextNet is a privately held provider of non-line-of-sight plug-and-play broadband wireless access systems. Each preferred share is convertible into three shares of common stock. On February 23, 2004, however, the Company was notified of a proposed merger between NextNet and a recently formed privately owned company (the “Acquirer”), to which we gave our consent. The Acquirer has experience in the wireless communication industry.
 
    Under the terms of the merger, the Company will receive warrants to purchase 290,738 shares of the class A common stock of the Acquirer in exchange for the 415,340 shares of Series A Preferred Stock that it owns of NextNet. The warrants the Company will receive from the Acquirer have an exercise price of $4.00 per share, are immediately exercisable and have a term which terminates after the earlier of six years or upon the occurrence of certain events which gives the holders of the warrant liquidity with respect to the underlying common stock. The Company has been informed that the merger was completed on March 16, 2004. Based upon the foregoing, the Company determined that there had been an other-than-temporary decline in the fair value of its investment below the cost and recorded an impairment charge of $1,000,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003. The Company valued the warrants received using the Black-Scholes pricing model using 113% as the volatility, 1.24% as the risk free interest rate, an expected life of six years and no expected dividends. The Company has not obtained, and will not obtain, an independent appraisal of the value of the warrants.
