OP-TECH ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC.
AND WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q/A and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, quarterly results include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) that the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of such information for interim periods.

The unaudited financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its two wholly-owned subsidiaries; OP-TECH Environmental Services, Ltd, an inactive Canadian  company, and OP-TECH AVIX, Inc.  All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2008 has been derived from the audited balance sheet included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2008.


2. Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The components of comprehensive income (loss) were as follows:

 
    Six months ended     Three months ended  
    June 30, 2009     June 30, 2008     June 30, 2009     June 30, 2008  
 Net income (loss)        $ (474,588   $ 148,383     $ (81,143 )   $ 200,453  
Other comprehensive income (loss):
   Change in fair value of cash flow hedge
   Net of income tax of $6,100 and $4,000 in
   2009 and ($2,900) and $8,800 in
   2008, respectively       
     9,140         (4,300      6,067         13,300  
 Comprehensive income (loss)    $ (465,448   $ 144,083     $ (75,076 )     $ 213,753  
                                 
                                 

3. Revenue Recognition

The timing of revenues is dependent on the Company's backlog, contract awards, and the performance requirements of each contract.  The Company's revenues are also affected by the timing of its clients planned remediation work as well as the timing of unplanned emergency spills.  Historically, planned remediation work generally increases during the third and fourth quarters.  Although the Company believes that the historical trend in quarterly revenues for the third and fourth quarters of each year are generally higher than the first and second quarters, there can be no assurance that this will occur in future periods.  Accordingly, quarterly or other interim results should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for any quarter or for the full year.

4. Related Party Transactions

The Company utilizes subcontract labor purchased from St. Lawrence Industrial Services, Inc., which is owned by a director of the Company.  The costs for these services amounted to approximately $623,000 and $591,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $318,000 and $340,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 respectively.  Amounts owed to St. Lawrence Industrial Services, Inc. which are included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities were $36,000 and $85,000 at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.


5.  Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding.  Diluted earnings per share for the three month period includes the potentially dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, which include outstanding options under the Company’s Stock Option Plan and warrants that were issued to a financial advisor in May 2002 to purchase 480,000 shares of common stock at $0.066 per share, expiring in May 2010.  These are excluded for the diluted share calculation for the six month period due to the net loss.


6.     Reclassifications
 
Certain reclassifications have been made to the June 30, 2008 financial statements to conform with the 2009 presentation.
 

 
7.  Restatement
 
On April 30, 2010, the Company determined that an agreement with a customer was not properly accounted for and that the long-term receivable from customer recorded at June 30, 2009 was overstated by $287,010.  Additionally, an error occurred in the estimate calculating the costs on uncompleted projects applicable to future billings resulting in an overstatement of $60,228.  As a result, the Company restated the quarterly financial statements.
 
The impact of these adjustments on the Company’s financial results as originally reported for the six months ending June 30, 2009 are summarized below:

At June 30, 2009, the Company had cash of $28,432 compared to $80,003 at December 31, 2008. The Company voluntarily applies all available cash in the Company’s operating account to pay down the Company’s note payable to bank under the line of credit.

At June 30, 2009, the Company had working capital of $(101,033) compared to $5,740,747 at December 31, 2008, and a current ratio of .99  to 1 at June 30, 2009 and 1.77 to 1 at December 31, 2008.  The fluctuation was primarily attributed to the note payable to the bank was classified as a current liability at June 30, 2009.  It was classified as a long-term liability at June 30, 2008.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company’s net cash provided by operations was $16,973 compared to net cash used in operations of $831,030 during the six months ended June 30, 2008.  The cash provided by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily a result of a decrease in accounts receivable and a decrease in costs on uncompleted projects applicable to future billings offset by the decrease of accounts payable.

The Company’s net cash used in investing activities of $158,552 during the first six months of the year was attributable to the purchase of field equipment.  The net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $132,845.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company’s net cash provided by financing activities was $90,008 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $537,922 during the six months ended June 30, 2008.  The net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily due to larger borrowings on the note payable.

As of June 30, 2009, the Company had a loan agreement that provides for borrowings up to $6,000,000 on a revolving basis, collateralized by all accounts receivable, inventory and equipment now owned or acquired later.  The loan was payable on May 15, 2010, bears interest at a rate of prime plus .50 percent, was subject to certain restrictive financial covenants, and was subject to default if there is a material adverse change in the financial or economic condition of the Company.  As of June 30, 2009, borrowings against the revolving loan aggregated $5,435,425.

During the second quarter of 2009, all principal payments on the Company’s debt were made within payment terms.  As of June 30, 2009, the Company was not in compliance with a financial covenant and received a waiver at June 30, 2009.  The Company is in the process of negotiating an extension to its financing agreement.  The Company is dependent on obtaining continued financing from its current financial institution or from another source.

The Company expects, based on its operating results and the continued availability of its line of credit, that it will be able to meet obligations as they come due.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Management has identified the following critical accounting policies that affect the Company's more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements.  The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company's management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an on-going basis, management evaluates those estimates, including those related to assets held for sale, revenue recognition, issuance of stock options and related compensation expense, valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, allowance for doubtful accounts and contingencies and litigation. The Company states these accounting policies in the notes to the consolidated financial statements and in relevant sections in this discussion and analysis. These estimates are based on the information that is currently available to the Company and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results could vary from those estimates.

The Company believes that the following critical accounting policies affect significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements:

·  
Contracts are predominately short-term in nature (less than six months) and revenue is recognized as costs are incurred and billed.  Project costs are generally billed in the month they are incurred and are shown as current assets.  Revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed are recorded as an asset.  In the event interim billings exceed costs and estimated profit, the net amount of deferred revenue is shown as a current liability.  Estimated losses are recorded in full when identified.

·  
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments, which results in bad debt expense.  Management determines the adequacy of this allowance by continually evaluating individual customer receivables, considering the customer's financial condition, credit history and current economic conditions.  If the financial condition of customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

·  
The Company maintains a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets to reduce these assets to their realizable amounts.  Recognition of these amounts and the adjustment of the corresponding allowance is dependent on the generation of taxable income in current and future years.  As circumstances change with respect to management’s expectations of future taxable income, the valuation allowance is adjusted.

Item 4/4T. – Controls and Procedures

(a)  
Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
As of the end of the period covering this Form 10-Q/A, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures”. OP-TECH conducted this evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

(i) Definition of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. As defined by the SEC, such disclosure controls and procedures are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in such a manner as to allow timely disclosure decisions.

(ii) Limitations on the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls.
OP-TECH recognizes that a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as well as a system of internal controls), no matter how well conceived and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, the design of such a system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented in a number of ways. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, system failures may occur and not be detected.

(iii) Conclusions with Respect to Our Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
The  Company's  Chief  Executive  Officer and Chief Financial  Officer  determined that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, a material weakness existed over the controls to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts and the controls to evaluate revenue on uncompleted projects.

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

Specifically, an agreement with a customer was not properly accounted for causing an overstatement of accounts receivable.  Additionally, due to an error an in-process project had unearned revenue recorded in excess of the actual expected.

The  Company's  Chief  Executive  Officer and Chief Financial  Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of June 30, 2009.

The Company plans to revise controls over the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts to include a review with sales and collection personnel to ensure all agreements with customers are considered.

revenue to include a more in-depth cost and standard gross margin analysis, review with field personnel, and a comparison to subsequent billing by job. 

The Company will also monitor our disclosure controls and procedures on a continuing basis to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In the future as such controls change in relation to developments in the our business and financial reporting requirements, our evaluation and monitoring measures will also address any additional corrective actions that may be required.
  

(b) Changes in Internal Controls.
The Company assessed internal controls as of December 31, 2008, and concluded that they were operating effectively and no material weaknesses existed as reported in the 2008 10-K.  The Company’s control procedures did not change significantly in 2009.  However, these control procedures were not operating effectively in certain areas as the Company identified material weaknesses over financial reporting for the period ending June 30, 2009, related to the restatement of results for the period ending June 30, 2009. 

Because of these material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, our management, including our CEO and CFO, concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2009 based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.
