5 ATG INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30,1999 (Unaudited) 1. Basis of Presentation ATG Inc. (the "Company" or "ATG") provides technical personnel and specialized services and products primarily to the U.S. government and the nuclear power industry throughout the United States. Services principally consist of compaction, reduction, decontamination, vitrification and disposal of low-level dry active nuclear and other hazardous waste, dewatering and thermal treatment of ion exchange resins and site remediation and construction projects. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included therein. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments (which include only normal, recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to state fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. 2. Net Income Per Share Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding 6 during the period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options for all periods. A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of basic and diluted net income per share is provided as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

Diluted net income per share for the three months ended June 30, 1999, excludes options and warrants to acquire 358,500 shares of stock which were anti- dilutive. 3. Business Segments Effective December 31, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". Statement 131 requires enterprises to report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and selected information about reportable segments in interim financial reports. The Company manages its operations within two business segments: waste processing, conducted by its Fixed Facilities Group (FFG); and field services, conducted by its Field Engineering Group (FEG). The Company commenced evaluating its business in these two segments in the fourth quarter of 1998. In the second quarter of 1999, revenues from FFG totaled $12.7 million at a gross profit of $5.8 million, and revenues from FEG totaled $3.4 million at a gross profit of $0.5 million. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, revenues from FFG totaled $23.0 million at a gross profit of $10.6 million, and revenues from FEG totaled $6.0 million at a gross profit of $0.9 million. Total fixed 7 assets employed in the business segments at June 30, 1999, are: FFG - $52.0 million; FEG - $0.7 million; and other - $3.4 million. 8 Item 2. ATG INC. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause the Company's actual results in future periods to differ materially from those indicated herein as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under "Certain Business Considerations." The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release updates or revisions to these statements. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Company's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K. General The Company is a radioactive and hazardous waste management company that offers comprehensive treatment solutions for low level radioactive waste (LLRW), low level mixed waste (LLMW) and other waste generated by the Department of Defense (DOD), Department of Energy (DOE) and commercial entities such as nuclear power plants, medical facilities and research institutions. The Company principally derives its revenue from the waste treatment operations of its Fixed Facilities Group and the on-site remediation services of its Field Engineering Group. The Company currently focuses a significant portion of its business on SAFGLAS(TM) vitrification of LLRW and on its newly acquired business interests in Tennessee for treating ion exchange resins (IERs) and on LLMW processing. During the quarter ended June 30, 1999, the Company was successful in processing the permit application for its LLMW processing facility in Richland, WA. Waste processing revenue from commercial entities, primarily nuclear power plants, industrial concerns and medical and research institutions, has increased in recent years and is expected to represent an increasing portion of the Company's business. The Company has historically relied upon the integration of proven technologies with the Company's know-how and processes, and has not incurred significant levels of research and development spending. Most of the research and development activities conducted to date have related to the design and construction of its fixed operating facilities, particularly in connection with the Company's SAFGLAS(TM) thermal treatment system. The Company anticipates that its research and development efforts will continue to be moderate and that the costs associated with future research and development will not be material to the Company's results of operations. 9 The Company increasingly pursues multi-year and longer term contracts as a method of achieving more predictable revenue, more consistent utilization of equipment and personnel, and greater leverage of sales and marketing costs. The Company currently focuses on large, multi-year site-specific and term contracts in the areas of LLRW and LLMW treatment, environmental restoration and decontamination and decommissioning of contaminated facilities, and has in recent years been awarded a number of large government term contracts which, in most cases, require several years to complete. Results of Operations Revenue and Net Income. Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 was $16.1 million, up 137% from the $6.8 million recorded in the comparable quarter in the prior year. The Company recorded net income of $1.7 million, or $0.12 per share fully diluted, in the second quarter of fiscal 1999, compared to net income of $879,000, or $0.07 per share fully diluted, in the second quarter of fiscal 1998. For the six months ended June 30, 1999 revenue was $29.0 million, up 136% from $12.3 million for the same period in 1998. The Company recorded net income of $2.8 million, or $0.19 per share fully diluted, for the six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to net income of $1.5 million, or $0.12 per share fully diluted, for the same period in 1998. The increase in revenue is principally attributable to new customers and service offerings resulting from the acquisition of assets and related businesses in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and the increasing commercial utilization of the Company's SAFGLAS(TM) thermal treatment system. The newly acquired Tennessee operations have been integrated with the Richland, Washington waste processing operations to provide a broad range of customer service offerings. Customer waste needs are addressed and directed to the appropriate processing location to provide the most efficient and economical treatment of customer wastes. Gross Profit. Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 was $6.3 million or 39% of revenue, compared to $3.4 million or 51% of revenue in the comparable quarter in 1998. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 1999, was $11.5 million or 39% of revenue, compared to $6.3 million or 51% of revenue for the comparable period in 1998. The changes in the gross profit percentage from year to year are related to the varying mixes of business during these periods. Overall gross profit on waste processing services was approximately 45% in the three months and 46% in the six months ended June 30, 1999. The current period gross profit percentages for waste services are lower than the 58% recorded in the full year of 1998, due to the acquisition of the Tennessee operations. The full integration of the new business lines are proceeding as planned as many customers are using services that were previously not available. The Company is continuing its evaluation of the processes that affect the cost of operations. The fixed facilities operations generally have a larger percentage of fixed costs versus variable costs, so increases in utilization favorably impact gross profit. Utilization of the Company's waste treatment services by its customers has typically been less in the first 10 two quarters of the year, as compared with the last two quarters, and thus margins will tend to be lower in the waste processing group during the first two quarters. Overall gross profit on field service projects was approximately 15% in the three months and in the six months ended June 30, 1999, which is lower than the 29% recognized in the full year of 1998. The principal reason for the difference is the different mix of projects and stage of completion during these periods, as many more projects were utilizing subcontractor services and the Company's margin is typically lower for subcontractor services compared to the other contract services provided by the Company. Sales, General and Administrative Expenses. Sales, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 were $3.2 million or 20% of revenue, compared to $2.0 million or 29% of revenue for the comparable period in 1998. These expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1999 were $6.2 million or 21% of revenue, compared to $3.7 million or 30% of revenue for the comparable period in 1998. The increases in spending from year to year reflect the growth in the Company's operations, addition of sales and administrative personnel related to the acquisition of the Tennessee operations and the increased costs of being a public company. The overall decrease in sales, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue is attributable to the Company's effort to maintain a level of such costs that does not increase at the same rate as revenue. Provision for Income Taxes. The Company provides for income taxes during interim periods at an estimated combined Federal and state annual rate to be expected for the full year. The actual rate for 1998 was approximately 38%. The Company is providing for income taxes in 1999 at a rate of 40% based on the estimated shift in state income taxes from 1998. Liquidity and Capital Resources Total cash and cash equivalents were $5.3 million at June 30, 1999, an increase of $1.5 million from December 31, 1998. The working capital of the Company was approximately a negative $1.0 million at June 30, 1999, a decrease of $2.6 million from December 31, 1998. Significant outlays of cash have been needed to acquire property and equipment and to pay liabilities for Federal and state income taxes as well as for treatment and disposal of legacy wastes assumed in the acquisition of the Tennessee businesses. Property and equipment acquisitions totaled $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999. The Company anticipates spending in excess of $20 million to construct a mixed waste treatment facility beginning in the third quarter of 1999. The Company has already invested approximately $5.2 million in the design and permitting of this facility. The Company has been approved for an industrial development bond ("IDB") in the State of Washington in the amount of $25 million to finance this construction. The Company presently anticipates commencement of the IDB issuance process by the end of the third 11 quarter of fiscal 1999. As and when the financing proceeds are received, the Company expects the funds it has invested in the project to be returned to working capital. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company negotiated an expansion of its bank credit facility. The new credit facility provides a line of credit of $13.0 million and a letter of credit facility of $1.0 million. Borrowings, when made, bear interest at the prime rate, currently 8.0%. There was $13.0 million outstanding under this credit facility at June 30, 1999. The credit agreement requires the Company to comply with certain covenants including capital asset acquisition limits, limits on additional debt, minimum levels of tangible net worth, dividend payment restrictions and maintenance of certain financial ratios. At June 30, 1999 the Company was in violation of certain covenants. The Company has obtained waivers in respect of these violations as of June 30, 1999. The Company believes that its current cash and cash equivalents, together with its credit facility and cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet the Company's working capital requirements for the next 12 months. Depending on its rate of growth and profitability, the Company may require additional equity or debt financing to meet its future working capital or capital expenditure needs and it will require equity, IDB or other debt financing to construct its mixed waste facility. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available or, if available, that such financing can be obtained on terms satisfactory to the Company. Year 2000 Impact Many currently installed computer systems, software applications and other control devices (collectively, "Systems") are coded to accept only two digit entries in the date code field. As the year 2000 approaches, these code fields will need to accept four digit entries to distinguish years beginning with "19" from those beginning with "20". As a result, the Systems used by many companies may need to be modified to comply with year 2000 requirements. ATG relies on its internal Systems in operating and monitoring all major aspects of its business, including its manufacturing processes, engineering management controls, financial systems (such as general ledger, accounts payable and payroll modules), customer services, infrastructure, embedded computer chips, networks and telecommunications equipment and products. ATG also relies on the external Systems of its suppliers and other organizations with which it does business. Based on a review of its Systems and the nature of the corrections needed to make the Systems compliant, the Company believes there is minimal risk that the Systems will be non-compliant on January 1, 2000. However, despite the efforts thus far to address the year 2000 impact, the Company cannot guarantee that all internal and external systems will be compliant, or that its business will not be materially adversely affected by any such non-compliance. 12 Certain Business Considerations The Company's business is subject to the following risks and uncertainties, in addition to those described elsewhere. Dependence on Government Licenses, Permits and Approvals The radioactive and hazardous waste management industry is highly regulated. The Company is required to have federal, state and local governmental licenses, permits and approvals for its waste treatment facilities and services. There can be no assurance as to the successful outcome of any pending application by the Company for any such license, permit, or approval, and the Company's existing licenses, permits and approvals are subject to revocation or modification under a variety of circumstances. Failure to obtain timely, or to comply with the conditions of, applicable licenses, permits or approvals could adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. As its business expands and as it introduces new technologies or modifies existing technologies, the Company will be required to obtain additional operating licenses, permits or approvals. It may be required to obtain additional operating licenses, permits or approvals if new environmental legislation or regulations are enacted or promulgated or existing legislation or regulations are amended, re-interpreted or enforced differently than in the past. Any new requirements which raise compliance standards may require the Company to modify its waste treatment technologies to conform to more stringent regulatory requirements. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to comply with all of the environmental and other regulatory requirements applicable to its business. No Assurance of Successful Development, Commercialization or Acceptance of Technologies The Company is in the process of developing, refining and implementing its technologies for the treatment of LLRW, LLMW and other wastes. The Company's future growth will be dependent in part upon the acceptance and implementation of these technologies, particularly its recently developed vitrification technologies for the thermal treatment of LLRW and LLMW and its recently acquired technologies for treatment of ion exchange resin waste streams. There can be no assurance that successful development of all these technologies will occur in the near future, or even if successfully developed, that the Company will be able to successfully commercialize such technologies. The successful commercialization of the Company's vitrification technologies may depend in part on ongoing comparisons with other competing technologies and more traditional treatment, storage and disposal alternatives, as well as the continuing high cost and limited availability of commercial disposal options. There can be no assurance that the Company's vitrification and related technologies will prove to be commercially viable or cost-effective, or if commercially viable and cost- effective, that the Company will be successful in timely securing the requisite regulatory licenses, permits and approvals for 13 such technologies or that such technologies will be selected for use in future waste treatment projects. The Company's LLMW thermal treatment contract with the DOE's Hanford Reservation requires the Company to obtain all of the required licenses, permits and approvals for, and to build and place in operation, its LLMW treatment facility by November 10, 2000. The Company's inability to develop, commercialize or secure the requisite licenses, permits and approvals for its waste treatment technologies on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Dependence on Environmental Laws and Regulations A substantial portion of the Company's revenue is generated as a result of requirements arising under federal and state laws, regulations and programs related to protection of the environment. Environmental laws and regulations are, and will continue to be, a principal factor affecting demand for the services offered by the Company. The level of enforcement activities by federal, state and local environmental protection agencies and changes in such laws and regulations also affect the demand for such services. If the requirements of compliance with environmental laws and regulations were to be modified in the future, particularly those relating to the transportation, treatment, storage or disposal of LLRW, LLMW or other wastes, the demand for the Company's services, and its business, financial condition and results of operations, could be materially adversely affected. Dependence on Federal Government; Limits on Government Spending; Government Contracting The Company expects that the percentage of its revenue attributable to federal government contracts will continue to be substantial for the foreseeable future. The Company's government contracts generally are subject to cancellation, delay or modification at the sole option of the government at any time, to annual funding limitations and public sector budget constraints and, in many cases, to actual delivery orders being released. The Company is dependent on government appropriations to fund many of its contracts. Efforts to reduce the federal budget deficit could adversely affect the availability and timing of government funding for the clean-up of DOE, DOD and other federal government sites. The failure by the government to fund future restoration of such sites could have an adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. As a provider of services to federal and other government agencies, the Company also faces risks associated with government contracting, which include substantial fines and penalties for, among other matters, failure to follow procurement integrity and bidding rules and employing improper billing practices or otherwise failing to follow prescribed cost accounting standards. Government contracting requirements are complex, highly 14 technical and subject to varying interpretations. As a result of its government contracting business, the Company has been, and expects to be in the future, the subject of audits, and may in the future be subject to investigations, by government agencies. Failure to comply with the terms of one or more of its government contracts could result in damage to the Company's business reputation and the Company's suspension or disqualification from future government contract projects for a significant period of time. The fines and penalties which could result from noncompliance with applicable standards and regulations, or the Company's suspension or disqualification, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Need for Additional Capital The Company believes that it will need additional capital in order to implement its long-term business plan. In particular, the Company will need approximately $20 million to finance the construction of the LLMW facility in Richland, WA. The Company is currently pursuing tax exempt industrial bond financing for this facility. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising the requisite amount of capital when needed, or, that if successful, the terms of the financing will be favorable to the Company. If the Company is not successful in raising such additional capital, it will need to curtail or scale back its planned expansion, which could adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Seasonality and Fluctuation in Quarterly Results The Company's revenue is dependent on its contract backlog and the timing and performance requirements of each contract. Revenue in the first and second quarters has historically been lower than in the third and fourth quarters, as the Company's customers have tended to ship waste during the months in which transportation is less likely to be adversely affected by weather conditions. The Company's revenue is also affected by the timing of its clients' planned remediation activities and need for waste treatment services, which generally increase during the third and fourth quarters. Due to this variation in demand, the Company's quarterly results fluctuate. Accordingly, specific quarterly or interim results should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for any future quarter or for the full year. Due to the foregoing factors, it is possible that in future quarters, the Company's operating results will not meet the expectations of securities analysts and investors. In such event, the price of the Company's common stock could be materially adversely affected. Management of Growth Since 1994, the Company has experienced significant growth, attributable in large part to an increase in the number and size of contracts awarded and the number of commercial nuclear utility power plants utilizing the Company's services. Also, in December 1998, the Company acquired new business lines that are anticipated to contribute to increased growth in 1999 and beyond. The Company is currently pursuing a business plan intended 15 to expand its business domestically and internationally. The Company's historical growth has placed, and any future growth may place, significant demands on its operational, managerial and financial resources. There can be no assurance that the Company's current management and systems will be adequate to address any future expansion of the Company's business. In such event, any inability to manage the Company's growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Equipment Performance; Safety and License Violations The Company's ability to perform under current waste treatment contracts and to successfully bid for future contracts is dependent upon the consistent performance of its waste treatment systems at its fixed facilities in conformity with safety and other requirements of the licenses under which the Company operates. The Company's fixed facilities are subject to frequent routine inspections by the regulatory authorities issuing such licenses. The Company has experienced shut downs of its facilities for short periods of time in the past. In the event that any of the Company's principal waste treatment systems were to be shut down for any appreciable period of time, either due to equipment breakdown or as the result of regulatory action in response to an alleged safety or other violation of the terms of the licenses under which the Company operates, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. Competition In general, the market for radioactive and hazardous waste management services is highly competitive. The Company faces competition in its principal current and planned business lines from both established domestic companies and foreign companies attempting to introduce European waste treatment technologies into the United States. Many of the Company's competitors have greater financial, managerial, technical and marketing resources than the Company. To the extent that competitors possess or develop superior or more cost-effective waste treatment solutions or field service capabilities, or otherwise possess or acquire competitive advantages compared to the Company, the Company's ability to compete effectively could be materially adversely affected. Any increase in the number of licensed commercial LLRW treatment facilities or disposal sites in the United States or any decrease in the treatment or disposal fees charged by such facilities or sites could increase the competition faced by the Company or reduce the competitive advantage of certain of the Company's treatment technologies. International Expansion A key component of the Company's long-term growth strategy is to expand its business into selected Pacific Rim markets. There can be no assurance that the Company or its strategic alliance partners will be able to market its technologies or services successfully in foreign markets. In addition, there are certain risks inherent in foreign operations, 16 including general economic conditions in each country, varying regulations applicable to the Company's business, seasonal reductions in business activities, fluctuations in foreign currencies or the U.S. Dollar, expropriation, nationalization, war, insurrection, terrorism and other political risks, the overlap of different tax structures, risks of increases in taxes, tariffs and other governmental fees and involuntary renegotiation of contracts with foreign governments. In particular, recent economic instability in certain Pacific Rim countries could substantially impede the Company's targeted expansion into that region. In such event, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. There can be no assurance that laws or administrative practices relating to taxation, foreign exchange or other matters of foreign countries within which the Company operates or will operate will not change. Any such change could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Dependence on Key Personnel The Company's future success depends on its continuing ability to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified managerial, technical and marketing personnel. The Company is highly dependent upon the continuing contributions of its key managerial, technical and marketing personnel. The Company's employees may voluntarily terminate their employment with the Company at any time, and competition for qualified technical personnel, in particular, is intense. The loss of the services of any of the Company's managerial, technical or marketing personnel could materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Focus on Larger Projects The Company increasingly pursues large, multi-year contracts as a method of achieving more predictable revenue, more consistent utilization of equipment and personnel, and greater leverage of sales and marketing costs. These larger projects impose significant risks if actual costs are higher than those estimated at the time of bid. A loss on one or more of such larger contracts could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company. In addition, failure to obtain, or delay in obtaining, targeted large, multi-year contracts could result in significantly less revenue to the Company than anticipated. Item 3.
