3 4 ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS GENERAL The Company primarily designs, manufactures and markets automated continuous monitoring instruments used to detect and measure various types of air pollution, such as "acid rain," "ozone depletion" and "smog episodes," through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dasibi Environmental Corp. The Company's products are generally used to measure air pollution levels in geographic areas which range in size from small industrial sites to entire states or countries. The Company also supplies computer-controlled calibration systems that verify the accuracy of its instruments, data loggers to collect and manage pollutant information and final reporting software for remote centralized applications. HISTORY OF THE COMPANY The Company was organized as a California corporation on December 24, 1971, under the name of "A.E. Gosselin Engineering, Inc." as a wholly-owned subsidiary of "Pollution Research and Control Corp." ("PRCC"), a California corporation co-founded in 1966 by Albert E. Gosselin, Jr., the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, and his wife, Barbara Gosselin, an executive officer and director of the Company. Mr. Gosselin founded the Company to design, manufacture and market air pollution monitoring equipment for ambient air (i.e., the surrounding air) as distinguished from the customer stack source monitoring systems then being designed, manufactured and sold by PRCC. The name of the Company was changed to "Dasibi Environmental Corp." on March 22, 1973. (See Item 9. "Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters and Control Persons; Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act - Directors, Executive Officers and Key Employees.") The Company was operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of PRCC until its initial public offering of securities in May 1985. In 1984, PRCC discontinued its research and development activities and assigned them to the Company. From 1984 through May 1985, PRCC primarily acted as a holding company for the Company and Applied Conservation Technology, Inc. ("ACT"), then a wholly-owned subsidiary of PRCC engaged in the business of providing environmental impact reports to electric utilities. ACT was purchased by its management from PRCC in November 1986. Gary Dudley, a director and former Vice President of the Company and a former executive officer and director of PRCC, has been the President and a principal shareholder of ACT, a diversified environmental consulting firm now located in Westminster, California, since November 1986. (See Item 9. "Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters and Control Persons; Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act - Directors, Executive Officers and Key Employees.") In May 1985, the Company received aggregate net proceeds in the amount of $514,000 from a public offering of 150,000 Units, each Unit consisting of two shares of Common Stock and one warrant exercisable to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share ("Common Stock Purchase Warrant"). As a result of this offering, PRCC's ownership of the Company was reduced to 88.2%. All Common Stock Purchase Warrants issued in this offering 4 5 expired unexercised in May 1986. As a result of a six-for-100 "dividend-in-kind" of a portion of PRCC's shares of the Company's Common Stock to its shareholders in November 1985, PRCC's ownership of the Company was further reduced to 81%. In October 1986, PRCC distributed the remainder of its shares of the Company to the shareholders of PRCC in a 70-for-100 distribution. There is currently no relationship, business or otherwise, between the Company or its management and PRCC, which is now known as "McMartin Industries, Inc." The Company received net proceeds aggregating approximately $1,979,000 from a public offering of 1,453,497 Units, each Unit consisting of one share of Common Stock and one warrant exercisable to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share, completed in July 1989. No warrants issued in the offering have been exercised and, in May 1994, their expiration date was extended to November 1995. In October 1995, these warrants were extended to March 29, 1996. In February 1996, the warrant exercise price was decreased to $0.60 and the warrants expiration date was unchanged. At the date of this filing, all warrants have expired. (See Item 5. "Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.") The Company changed its name to "Pollution Research and Control Corp.," the name of its former parent, PRCC, in November 1989. In January 1990, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, $1.00 par value per share, of an inactive California corporation, organized by Mr. and Mrs. Gosselin as co-founders under the name of "Baral Engineering, Inc." in July 1976, which changed its name to "Dasibi Environmental Corp." ("Dasibi") in January 1990. All of the Company's operations were transferred to Dasibi subsequent to the acquisition. Also in 1990, the Company changed its fiscal year from June 30 to December 31. In February, 1994, the Company acquired the technology and inventory of the Byron Hydrocarbon Analyzer line from General Monitors, Inc. ("GMI"), for a purchase price of $225,000. Of the purchase price, $200,000 has been paid by the Company in cash and $25,000 has been rescheduled by mutual agreement to be paid by July 1, 1996. In March 1994, the Company entered into an exclusive worldwide requirements agreement over a three-year period with London-based Logan Research, Ltd. to provide Logan with oxides of nitrogen instrument parts on an "as required" basis for use in medical technology applications. In October 1995 the agreement was modified to be exclusive with a domestic corporation, Logan Medical Devices ("LMD"), which acquired Logan Research, Ltd. No manufacturing activity on the part of the Company has occurred or is expected to occur until LMD obtains marketing funding which it may not obtain. The Company's net revenues and gross profit for fiscal 1994 and fiscal 1995 decreased significantly as compared to fiscal 1993. These declines were principally because of significant competitive price pressure for the Company's instruments, thus forcing the Company to lower its domestic and foreign bids, reducing the number of the Company's bid awards and reducing the profit margin on the bids awarded to the Company. Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company implemented certain cost reduction measures in its operating expenses, suspended major 5 6 new product development efforts and scaled back its efforts to improve or modify existing technologies in response to the competitive price pressures. Throughout 1995, the Company shipped record numbers of instrumentation units, but continued competitive pricing pressure resulted in lowered gross margins. In March of 1996, efforts were begun to reduce fixed expenses by participating in the Mexican Maquiladora program, initially for all production labor associated with the Company's excess backlog, if any. (See Item 6, "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.") THE AIR POLLUTION INDUSTRY Air pollution consists of certain gases or particles, generally the products of combustion or other industrial processes, which are or may be hazardous to human health. Pollutants include carbon monoxide, ozone, oxides of sulfur and nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide and particles. Small amounts of these pollutants, such as a few parts per million or parts per billion, may be harmful. The products produced and sold by the Company detect and measure these pollutants and are also utilized in calibrating other pollution measurement equipment. Industrial entities require equipment to detect the presence and measure the level of pollutants in order to comply with governmental regulations and government regulatory agencies require equipment to enforce governmental standards. Currently, international priority has been given to control (and therefore to monitor) such gaseous pollutants as sulfur dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, ozone and particulates (suspended dust). Although manual sampling of both gases and particulates is still performed routinely, improvements in the reliability and accuracy of automated, continuous monitoring equipment, such as that manufactured and sold by the Company, have made manual sampling less desirable and automated monitoring increasingly common. In basic continuous monitoring instruments, ambient air is taken into a manifold, the function of which is to direct a fast-moving stream of ambient air to the monitor. The instrument may use a filter to remove particulates or scrubbers to remove gases that might interfere with accurate measurement of the pollutant. The pollutant is then introduced into a measurement cell environment where it undergoes a chemical or physical reaction, the output of which can be converted to an electrical signal which, in turn, can be read locally or transmitted to some remote monitoring plant or computer. Measurement cells can be based in many different methods for the detection of the pollutants of interest. Thus, an instrument designer may have many different methods available by which a pollutant may be identified and measured. Some methods used by the Company are flame photometry (wherein concentrations of gaseous elements are measured by burning them and optically observing the color and intensity of the flame generated thereby), infrared absorption (wherein concentrations of infrared absorbing gases are measured by detecting changes in intensity of a radiation beam closed cell), chemiluminescence (wherein a chemical generates a light or a wave length measurable by a photo multiplier tube), 6 7 ultraviolet spectroscopy (wherein the pollutants' decrease in ultraviolet light intensity is converted by a photoelectric detector to an electric signal) and beta ray attenuation (wherein a radioactive source's beta ray emanation is reduced in direct proportion to the mass of a particle). INSTRUMENT MARKET The air pollution monitoring equipment market includes two markets: (i) source instrumentation for monitoring the source's pollutant emissions as they are discharged into the air and (ii) ambient air instrumentation for monitoring ambient air pollution. The two markets are quite different in that source instrumentation is generally not subject to rigid governmental-imposed guidelines because of the difficult analyses involved, while ambient air instruments are subject to rigid governmental guidelines because the pollutants are easier to define and measure. Generally, the Company sells its instruments for use in systems for the measurement of ambient air pollution. In a system, air pollution monitoring instruments are united with additional equipment to provide a comprehensive measurement unit. In an ambient air instrumentation system, the monitoring instrument is combined with a manifold intake, a calibrator and data transmitters. The system samples the ambient air, measures the pollutants and transmits the data. The Company designs and manufactures all instruments used in a system, including the data tabulation and transmission devices. At the present time, the Company believes that it is the only manufacturer that is able to furnish its customers with a complete "in-house" ambient air monitoring system. Until recently, the Company's products were not applicable to the source instrumentation market. However, because of new governmental regulations requiring greater accuracy and dilution conditioning as a standard (reducing pollution concentrations to the parts per billion level) for source instrumentation involving a continuous emission monitoring system ("CEMS"), the Company's products are now applicable. The Company is not currently able to offer customers a CEMS because it does not manufacture the additional equipment needed to complete the system. The Company commenced a research and development program in July 1992 for the purpose of developing an innovative CEMS which currently remains in the prototype stage of development. The Company does not require EPA-approval of any of its instruments in order to complete a CEMS. (See "Research and Development" under this Item 1. "Description of Business.") CONTROL MARKET The air pollution control market makes only minimal use of measurement instrumentation. This market is concerned with "purification" of exhaust gases emanating from combustion-related or even chemical-only processes. The "purification" process consists of using various types of equipment which may or may not involve catalysts and/or reagents to cause reactions and/or mechanical removal of a high percentage of selected air pollutants. The highest percentage obtainable will relate, at any given time, to the state-of-the-art of the technology involved and the economics of implementing the technology. The market is old, in essence dating to the beginnings of industry when soot collectors were first installed on combustion chambers. However, the market size is embryonic 7 8 since technology has not advanced and implementation remains costly so as not to allow any significant control of source pollutants. The Company filed a patent application in April 1994 for a "flue gas purification system." Management expects the patent to issue in 1996, however, neither the issuance of a patent nor the commercial viability of a market for this invention is assured. (See "Research and Development" and "Intellectual Property" under this Item 1. "Description of Business.") GOVERNMENTAL APPROVAL The Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") administers the federal Clean Air Act, as amended by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, and approves ambient air pollution monitoring equipment meeting certain requirements as either reference or equivalent methods for measuring pollutants. The EPA established the reference method as the basic method for measuring a pollutant. An equivalent method measures the same pollutant utilizing a different technique which achieves results identical to those of the referenced method. As a practical matter, before a monitoring instrument can be sold in the United States, it must receive EPA-approval as either a "reference" or "equivalent" method. Such approvals are given only after rigorous and expensive testing by the applicant and the submission to, and approval by, the EPA of the results of such testing. The testing and approval process generally requires between 12 and 18 months. Following approval, the EPA typically acquires and tests a production model of the device. If the model being tested does not meet the standards established by the approval process, the approval may be withdrawn. Each of the Company's models of ozone monitors and its sulfur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen monitors have been approved as equivalent methods by the EPA. Additionally, the Company's carbon monoxide monitors have been approved as reference methods. The Company is currently testing a particulate analyzer (beta ray attenuation) for approval as an equivalent method by the EPA. The Company has never had, or been threatened with, a recall as the result of subsequent testing by the EPA of a production model of any of its instruments. The Company believes that, as the performance of air monitoring equipment improves and monitoring technology becomes available in the market, government regulatory agencies tend to adopt regulations requiring the use of such technology. The Company has never been required to modify or discontinue any of its products as a result of improved technology. However, there can be no assurance that future technological improvements will not mandate changes in, or cause the obsolescence of, Company products. GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION AND ENFORCEMENT Legislation requiring more precise air pollution monitoring and enforcement is increasing as the sophistication of the technology improves and as concern for the environment, particularly the depletion of the ozone layer, becomes more acute. The Clean Air Act and the Clean Air Act 8 9 Amendments of 1990 (the "1990 Amendments"), which are being rapidly implemented, require increased control of industrial air pollution and represent an increasing threat of shut-down for U. S. industrial concerns which fail to obtain necessary permits and engage in other conduct violative of the legislation. Because increased control requires increased measurement and monitoring of air pollutants by government and industry, the Company expects, but cannot assure, a steadily increasing market for its products. Company management believes that governmental enforcement policy also has a significant effect on the demand for the Company's products. A relaxation during 1982 in the federal enforcement of governmental standards resulted in a decrease in demand for the Company's products. Since then, the worldwide trend toward increasingly stringent environmental standards for industrial air pollution together with stricter governmental enforcement of environmental regulations, is expected by management to cause continued expansion of segments of the analytical instruments market and a continued increase in demand for the Company's products. In essence, the Company furnishes a product that the customer does not want to buy voluntarily. In previous years, price difference was not significant to the selection process. Since 1994, sizeable discounts have become significant to the purchasers. COMPANY PRODUCTS In 1972, the Company developed, and in 1974 initially marketed, the first ultraviolet ozone monitor, of which eight models are currently marketed by the Company, including high concentration, manual, remote and microprocessor-controlled versions. The Company will continue to seek to develop new versions of its basic model of ozone monitor, but does not expect any change in the basic principle upon which the instrument operates. The Company is generally considered the leader in ozone measurement technology in the world. The Company developed microprocessor-controlled carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen monitors in 1981, 1986 and 1987, respectively. In August 1986, the Company completed prototype development of a microprocessor-controlled oxides of nitrogen monitor based upon a technique acquired from Combustion Engineering Corporation. Although the unit did not initially receive EPA-approval, a redesigned unit received the requisite approval of the EPA in mid-1992. Calibration equipment, which is utilized to independently verify the measurements made by other monitoring equipment, was first manufactured and sold by the Company in 1976 and known as the "Auditor," was followed by a manually-operated, portable model which performs similar functions. In 1990, both of these models were superseded by the Company's Model 5008 state-of-the-art, programmable calibration equipment. The Company completed development, in 1991, of a Model 7001 beta-gauge to measure sub-micronic particulates, a Model 8001 data-logger to gather and transmit measured air pollutant information and a Model 9001 semi-CEMS to be used as a portable stack monitoring system. In February 1994, the Company acquired the technology and inventory of the Byron 9 10 Hydrocarbon Analyzer line. In bidding various jobs, the Company has been asked to furnish an ambient hydrocarbon analyzer as a portion of the "system." Previously, the Company did not have the technical capability to manufacture this particular product and was forced to purchase it from other companies. The Company's choice, whenever possible, was the Byron Hydrocarbon Analyzer, even though it was the most expensive. Management believes that the acquisition of this technical capability has made the Company more competitive in bid applications requiring a hydrocarbon instrument. In addition, the analyzer has certain proprietary aspects which are helpful in competitive bid situations specifically requesting hydrocarbon data. The Company offers a two-year warranty on all of its products, with the exception of certain components, such as lamps, which have short lives. With respect to such components, the Company passes on to the customer the warranty (usually one year) which it receives from the manufacturer. The Company's warranty provides for repair or replacement of defective products. During each of the last five fiscal years, the Company has been required to honor its warranty with respect to less than 0.3% of total instruments sales during each such year. MARKETING AND SALES; BACKLOG The marketing and sales activities of the Company include advertising by mail and in trade journals (primarily Pollution Equipment News and Air Pollution Control Association Journal) and attendance and exhibition at worldwide air pollution conferences. The Company attends the annual conference of the Air Pollution Control Association as well as worldwide conferences. The Company's instruments have been sold to customers world-wide, including industrial manufacturers; federal, state, city, local and foreign governmental agencies; major industrial companies; and educational and research institutions in over 30 countries. Sales made in the United States are handled directly by the Company's sales staff. All of the Company's foreign sales are made to distributors who, in turn, resell to the end users. The Company sells to these distributors at a discount from the listed price. Management believes that the loss of a distributor who may account for a large percentage of sales would have little impact on net revenues as the end users of the Company's products could be transferred to new distributors. During the last three fiscal years, foreign sales have represented approximately 55% to 70% of the Company's total revenue. The Company's sales in the export market are evenly distributed among all its products. Export sales are billed and paid in United States dollars only. The Company's instruments have been sold during the past five years to over 300 customers in over 30 countries, including industrial manufacturers; federal, state, city, local and foreign governmental agencies; and educational and research institutions. However, a significant loss in the number of government agencies, industrial companies or research agencies which typically purchase the Company's instruments could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Historically, none of the Company's business has been subject to the re-negotiation of profits, and no government orders have ever been terminated. 10 11 The following table sets forth certain information regarding the Company's foreign sales for the last two fiscal years.
Year Ended December 31, ----------- 1995 1994 ---- ---- (In thousands) Aggregate sales to unaffiliated foreign customers: Europe $1,445 $1,245 Asia and Pacific Rim 1,071 904 Middle East & Other 525 537
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, sales to a foreign distributor who services multiple customers, represented 16% of net sales. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, sales to two foreign distributors who service multiple customers represented 24% of net sales. Historically, backlog has not been significant to the Company's operations because orders usually require delivery in 45 to 60 days. As of December 31, 1995, the Company had approximately $1,500,000 in orders which required delivery in 90 days or less, a backlog which the Company does not consider significant. MANUFACTURING AND PURCHASING The Company manufactures many components and subsystems for use in its products, including critical optical components and analog and digital circuitry. Other components, including packaging materials, integrated circuits, microprocessors and minicomputers, are purchased from unaffiliated third parties. Most of the raw materials and supplies purchased by the Company are either available from a number of different suppliers or alternative sources could be developed without a materially adverse effect on the Company's business. However, the availability and quality of certain key instrument components, such as printed circuit board designs and lamps, are controlled by a limited number of vendors. A vendor's inability to supply these components to the Company in a timely fashion, or to the Company's satisfaction, can affect the Company's ability to deliver its instruments on time. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Historically, the Company has been actively engaged in research and development in order 11 12 to produce new products. However, the competitive price pressures experienced by the Company since early 1994 have sharply limited the new product development to areas of software as opposed to hardware. Developed over the past twenty months, DECS (Dasibi Environmental Central Software) is a Windows-based, network control and reporting program for multi systems of pollutant analyzers and ancillaries. Similar programs exist but management believes none are under single manufacturer design and responsibility. Because of price pressure demands, the Company has been limiting CEMS and Flue Gas Purification System development work. EMPLOYEES As of March 26, 1996, the Company had 49 full-time employees, of whom four were engaged in administration, 10 in engineering, 33 in manufacturing and two in sales and marketing. None of the Company's employees are represented by a labor union. The Company has never had a strike or lockout and considers its employee relations to be good. COMPETITION The Company is the smallest competitor in the ambient air pollution instrumentation market. Therefore, it is subject to the effects of better-financed competitors and their research and development efforts, and price discounting. The Company competes on the basis of technical advances in its products and its reputation among customers as a quality provider of products and services. To a lesser extent, the Company competes on the basis of price. Although the Company is not aware of any other company that competes with it in all of its product lines, all of its competitors have resources substantially greater than those of the Company. There are also smaller companies that specialize in a limited number of the types of products manufactured by the Company. The Company's primary competitors in the domestic market are Thermo Instrument Systems, Inc. ("Thermo Instrument Systems") and Monitor Labs, Inc. ("Monitor Labs"). In the foreign market, the Company's primary competitors are Thermo Instrument Systems, Monitor Labs and Kimoto Instruments Co. of Japan ("Kimoto Instruments Co."). A number of the Company's principal competitors (including Thermo Instrument Systems, Monitor Labs and Kimoto Instruments Co.) offer ambient air pollution monitoring and also CEMS to their customers. As discussed hereinabove under "Instrument Market" and "Research and Development", the Company is presently unable to provide CEMS. The Company intends to enter the market for CEMS, although it is extremely competitive and the firms in such market have substantially greater experience and financial resources than the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company's efforts to enter the CEMS market will be successful. 12 13 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY Although the Company obtained patents for its ozone monitor and various techniques in instrument design, it has generally been the Company's policy to proceed without patent protection since it is management's belief that the disclosure requirements of the federal patent laws provide competitors with easy access to the secrets of rapidly changing technology. The patents obtained by the Company, all of which have expired, are not deemed by management to be significant to the Company's business operations or potential success. The Company has no federal or state registered trademarks and no franchises or concessions. The Company has common law rights to the trademark "Dasibi." Albert E. Gosselin, Jr., the Company's co-founder, has, for the past several years, devoted personal research time to developing an innovative, cost conscious system for purifying exhaust gases. His efforts resulted in the filing of a patent application for such system on behalf of the Company in April 1994. There is no assurance that a patent will be granted for this invention and, in any event, it is not expected that the Company can actively pursue this market until November 1996. (See Item 1. "Description of Business - - Research and Development" hereinabove.). ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES In July 1994, the Company moved its administrative, manufacturing and employee facilities to 39,070 square feet at 506 Paula Avenue, Glendale, California, from a 10,000 square foot building located at 515 West Colorado Street, Glendale, California, and a 7,500 square foot building adjacent thereto. The Company leases the space from an unaffiliated third party for a term of ten years commencing as of July 1, 1994, at a base rent of $24,223 per month plus operating costs and taxes, with a provision for increases in the base rent related to increases in the Consumer Price Index. The Company utilizes most of its existing office and manufacturing space and believes that such space is adequate for its needs for the foreseeable future. In addition, the Company acquired a contiguous 5,930 square feet from the same unaffiliated third part on February 20, 1996 at identical base rate terms, or $3,676 per month additional. This space is 50% utilized with the balance intended for future medical instrumentation manufacturing. The Company moved its Austin, Texas, software facility from 4,000 to 3,300 square feet at 14050 Summit Drive, Suite 117, Austin, Texas, and reduced the monthly rent paid for the facility from $4,500 to $1,980 per month ($23,760 per annum). The space is leased from a non-affiliate for a period of three years through May 31, 1997, and is expected to be adequate to meet the Company's foreseeable future needs. Additionally, the Company leases a sales office located at 407 B East Nine Mile Road, Highland Springs, Virginia, pursuant to a lease renewable annually through May 31, 1998. The rent of $550 per month increases at a rate of $50 per month at the commencement of each renewal period. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS No material legal proceedings are pending to which the Company or any of its property is subject, nor to the knowledge of the Company are any such legal proceedings threatened.

Fiscal 1995 Fiscal 1994 Quarter Ended High Bid Low Bid High Bid Low Bid - ------------- -------- ------- -------- ------- Common Stock: March 31 $ .69 $.62 $2.38 $1.50 June 30 .91 .59 1.95 1.25 September 30 1.22 .62 1.25 .75 December 31 .88 .56 .78 .44
As of March 23, 1996, the approximate number of shareholders of record of the Company's Common Stock was 1,100. The Company has never paid or declared any dividends on its Common Stock and does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. In August 1994 the Company effected an S-3 Registration Statement for 3,180,997 shares of common stock underlying all warrants and options outstanding. On November 30, 1995, 752,500 warrants expired. S-3 Registration Statement Amendment No. 2 currently in effect is for 2,490,998 shares of common stock for 2,170,998 warrants and 320,000 options. The warrant exercise price was reduced from $1.75 to $0.60 per share and the expiration date of March 29, 1996 was unchanged. There is no information currently available as to warrant exercise conversions, if any. ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION Net Revenues for fiscal 1995 were $5,515,000, an approximate 7% increase from net revenues of $5,129,000 in fiscal 1994. This increase was principally due to competitive pricing 14 15 by the Company. The Company's gross profit decreased from 41% of net revenues in fiscal 1994 to 34% of net revenues in fiscal 1995. The decrease in gross margin can be attributed to the competitive price pressures. (See Item 1 Description of the Business) Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 5% from $1,950,000 in 1994 to $2,044,000 in 1995. This $94,000 increase was primarily due to write offs of unamortized technology rights which management determined had no further value. In July 1995 the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Logan Medical Research Ltd. ("Logan"), a start-up company, to manufacture Logan's nitric oxide monitor for U. S. applications. The Company agreed to provide Logan with working capital in exchange for a world wide manufacturing agreement and accordingly funded $164,000 in cash and inventory in 1995. In connection with the funding, Logan was to obtain additional funding from an outside source. As of March 9, 1996, no additional funding had been obtained. Based upon this lack of funding the Company's management assigned a zero value to this asset and charged the $164,000 to operations during 1995. The fiscal 1995 expected income tax benefit was less than the federal statutory rate due to net operating loss carry forwards available for future periods. The Company does not believe that inflation has had a significant impact on its results of operations in the past two years. The Company plans to enter into a subcontract agreement for Mexican labor under the Maquiladora Shelter program, as a step towards increasing profit margins and as an assist in shipping units without the need for domestic overtime hours. The Company also is emphasizing marketing of its 5008 and 7001 units as higher margin (less competition) ancillary products. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company has historically financed operations through bank borrowings and the issuance of Common Stock in both public and private offerings. Working capital at December 31, 1995, was $1,844,000. Management believes that anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet the Company's short-term cash needs. As of March 1, 1996, the Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures. The Company has obtained an unsecured bank line of credit of $200,000. Any amount borrowed bears interest at the prime rate plus 2% per annum and is due and owing on June 1, 1996. $150,000 was outstanding as of December 31, 1995, and $200,000 as of March 29, 1996. 15 16 SEASONALITY Management does not believe that the Company's business is seasonal. ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Company's Financial Statements and the related Notes thereto are set forth at pages F-1 through F-15. ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES On December 7, 1994, the Company dismissed the accounting firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP as its independent auditors and selected the accounting firm of Greenberg & Jackson to act as the Company's independent auditors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994 Disclosure regarding this matter is set forth in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-KA dated December 7, 1994.

The Commission alleged in the Complaint for Permanent Injunction and Other Relief, among other things, that the Company and Mr. Gosselin committed numerous violations of the federal securities laws in 1989, 1990 and 1991, including disseminating materially false and misleading information about the Company to the investing public through public announcements and filings with the Commission relating, primarily, to the Company's acquisition and subsequent disposition of two companies, Air Instruments and Measurements, Inc. and Environmental Information Systems. Additionally, the Complaint alleged that the Company's financial statements incorrectly reported inventory figures and failed to reflect timely write-offs of uncollectible accounts receivable and that the Company materially understated annual and quarterly losses during this period. The allegations against Ms. Gosselin were that she served as the Company's Chief Financial Officer and that she was responsible for the Company's inadequate books and records and internal controls during this period. The Commission also alleged that the Company violated the federal securities laws in connection with an unregistered public distribution of securities. The Commission sought to enjoin the defendants from engaging in the future in similar illegal acts and practices and to order defendant Albert E. Gosselin, Jr., to pay civil penalties. On July 14, 1994, the defendants, without admitting or denying any of the allegations of the Complaint, consented to the entry of Final Judgment of Permanent Injunction and Other Relief (the "Final Judgment"). The Final Judgment as to Mr. Gosselin required him to pay a civil penalty in the amount of $25,000.

The Company does not provide officers or employees with pension, stock appreciation rights, long-term incentive or other plans. The Company has, however, adopted an Employees' Incentive Stock Option Plan. (See "Employees' Incentive Stock Option Plan" below under this Item 10. "Executive Compensation.") COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS Directors do not receive compensation pursuant to any standard arrangement for their services as directors. EMPLOYEES' INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN The Company's Employees' Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan") was adopted by the Board of Directors on July 30, 1987, and approved by the Company's shareholders on October 10, 1987. The Option Plan provides for the issuance of a total of 500,000 shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of options granted under the Option Plan. As of the date hereof, all of the options to purchase shares of Common Stock have been granted under the Option Plan. Pursuant to the Option Plan, the Company may grant incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to employees as well as non-qualified stock options to employees, officers, directors and consultants. The Option Plan provides for administration by the Board of Directors of the Company or by a committee of the Board of Directors. The Board or such committee selects the optionees, authorizes the grant of options and determines the exercise price of the options. Currently, the Board of Directors administers the Option Plan. The exercise price of each stock option granted under the Option Plan must be at least 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant as determined by the Board of Directors. Each incentive stock option may be exercisable for a period, as determined by the Board 20 21 of Directors, but not in excess of ten years from the date of grant. The exercise price of all incentive stock options granted under the Option Plan to shareholders possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company must be not less than 110% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant and such options may be exercisable for a period not in excess of five years from the date of grant. All options granted under the Option Plan are non-transferable and may be exercised only by the optionee or the optionee's estate. There is no limit on the number of shares with respect to which options may be granted under the Option Plan to any participating employee. However, the aggregate fair market value of shares of Common Stock (determined on the date the option is granted) with respect to which incentive stock options become exercisable for the first time by an individual option holder during any calendar year (under all such plans maintained by the Company) may not exceed $100,000. Options granted under the Option Plan may be exercised within 12 months after the date of an optionee's termination of employment by reason of his death or disability, or within three months after the date of termination by reason of retirement of voluntary termination approved by the Board of Directors, but only to the extent the option was otherwise exercisable on the date of termination. In the event an optionee's employment is terminated for any reason other than death, disability, retirement or voluntary termination approved by the Board of Directors, such optionee's option terminates 30 days after the date of such termination. The Option Plan will expire in July 1997, unless terminated earlier by the Board of Directors. The Option Plan may be amended by the Board without shareholder approval, except that no amendment which increases the maximum aggregate number of shares which may be issued under the Option Plan or changes the class of employees who are eligible to participate in the Option Plan, can be made without the approval of the shareholders of the Company. The Company, in order to comply with the requirements of certain state securities and "blue sky" laws, agreed not to grant any options under the Option Plan (or any additional options or warrants) which would exceed 10% of the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock outstanding after its 1989 public securities offering. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS The Company has employment agreements with Albert E. Gosselin, Jr., the President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, and Cynthia L. Gosselin, the Company's Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Gosselin's employment agreement (the "Agreement") was first approved by the Board of Directors on July 30, 1987, and has since been extended through August 31, 1999. The Agreement, as extended, provides for the payment to Mr. Gosselin of a base salary of $200,000, $210,000 and $220,000 during the one-year periods ended August 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. (See "Executive Compensation" under this Item 10. "Executive Compensation" hereinabove.) The Agreement further obligates the Company to permit Mr. Gosselin to participate in the Company's Employees' Incentive Stock Option Plan and Group Medical Plan and any other health, life insurance, group medical, disability income insurance and/or stock option plan 21 22 adopted by the Company. Under the Agreement, Mr. Gosselin's salary continues in the event of his disability and for two years after his death. He is also entitled to a lump sum severance payment equivalent to 2.99 times his current salary in the event of his termination as President or Chief Executive Officer within eighteen months after a "change of control" of the Company, including, among other events, certain types of mergers and other business combinations, material changes in the composition of the Board of Directors or the beneficial ownership of the Common Stock, the sale of substantially all of the Company's assets or securities and the material downsizing or dissolution of the Company. If such an event occurs during fiscal 1996, Mr. Gosselin would be entitled to receive $598,000 as a severance payment. The Company's employment agreement with Cynthia L. Gosselin commenced on July 20, 1994, and continues through August 31, 1999. The agreement provides for the payment to her of a base salary of $62,500 during each one-year period ended July 20, 1996, 1997 and 1998, and annual increases in the discretion of the Board of Directors. Pursuant to the employment agreement, Ms. Gosselin is required to be reimbursed by the Company for her expenses incurred in connection with the performance of her responsibilities. In the event of her death or disability, the agreement provides for Ms. Gosselin's salary to continue for six months thereafter. She is also entitled to participate in any Company health, life insurance, group medical, disability income insurance and/or stock option plan. Ms. Gosselin's employment agreement provides that she is entitled to a lump sum severance payment equivalent to 2.99 times her current salary in the event of her termination as Chief Financial Officer within eighteen months after a "change in control" of the Company, as defined in the Company's Employment Agreement with Mr. Albert E. Gosselin, Jr., described hereinabove. She would be entitled to receive a severance payment of $216,177 if a change in control of the Company occurs during fiscal 1996. ITEM 11.

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 generally accepted auditing standards.

See accompanying notes to these consolidated financial statements. F - 5 40 POLLUTION RESEARCH AND CONTROL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Years Ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 NOTE 1 - GENERAL Pollution Research and Control Corp., a California corporation, through its wholly owned subsidiary Dasibi Environmental Corporation, is involved in the research, development, manufacture and sales of air pollution monitoring products. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pollution Research and Control Corp. and its wholly owned consolidated subsidiaries (the "Company"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized upon the shipment of products. Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. Property, Leasehold Improvements and Depreciation - Property and leasehold improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided for on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally five to seven years. Leasehold improvements are stated at cost and are amortized over the shorter of the life of the lease or five years. Intangible Assets - Pursuant to the settlement of the Diversified Research Partners matter discussed in Note 11, the Company assigned $171,829 to certain technology rights acquired in such settlement. These rights were being amortized on the straight line basis over a 36 month period. In 1995 management determined that the technology was of no future value and amortized the remaining balance. Earnings Per Share - Earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common equivalents (common stock options and warrants) outstanding during the period, unless such inclusion is antidilutive. For the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, all computations under the modified treasury stock method have been omitted, as the effect is antidilutive.

NOTE 6 - LINE OF CREDIT On February 5, 1994, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a bank, which provides for borrowings of up to $200,000 through June 1, 1996. Borrowings under the agreement bear interest at 2% above the bank's prime rate and are collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets. At December 31, 1995, $150,000 was outstanding. (Continued) F - 7 42 POLLUTION RESEARCH AND CONTROL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Years Ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 (Continued) NOTE 7 - DEFERRED RENT Upon execution of a 10-year lease for its present facility in Glendale, California commencing July 1, 1994, the company was granted 6 months "free" rent. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, rent expense is being recognized by amortizing the total minimum rentals payable under the lease over the 10 year term on a straight line basis.
