BUSINESS The Corporation - --------------- ICHOR Corporation was incorporated in July 1994 pursuant to the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania under the name "PDG Remediation, Inc.". In November 1996, the Corporation reincorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware and changed its name to "ICHOR Corporation". In this document, unless the context otherwise requires, the "Corporation" refers to ICHOR Corporation and its subsidiaries. General - ------- From its inception to December 1997, the Corporation operated in the environmental services business. The Corporation's initial operations included a thermal treatment facility in Florida and remediation services offices in Florida and Pennsylvania. In December 1996, the Corporation acquired a waste oil recycling facility in Illinois. In response to changes in the Florida market, the Corporation closed certain remediation services offices and sold certain remediation facilities in 1995 and 1996. The Corporation sold the balance of its remediation services operations in April 1997 and its waste oil recycling facility in December 1997. In March 1998, the Corporation sold its wholly-owned subsidiary, ICHOR Services, Inc. ("Services"). In 1998, the Corporation provided certain consulting services to an industrial customer in Europe. The Corporation is currently seeking new business opportunities. The Corporation completed its initial public offering in February 1995. In July 1996, Drummond Financial Corporation ("Drummond") acquired a 59.5% interest in the Corporation from PDG Environmental, Inc. In December 1996, the Corporation issued approximately 50.3% of the Corporation's common stock to Logan International Corp. ("Logan") as partial consideration for a loan receivable through which the Corporation acquired its waste oil recycling facility. Logan and Drummond are controlled by MFC Bancorp Ltd. ("MFC"). In the first quarter of 1998, the Corporation completed the issuance of an aggregate of 467,500 shares of 5% Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, Series 1 (the "Preferred Stock") of the Corporation to affiliates of MFC. In December 1998, Drummond and Logan transferred all of their shares of common stock of the Corporation to a wholly-owned subsidiary of MFC. Acquisition - ----------- In October 1998, the Corporation entered into an agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Nazca Holdings Ltd. ("Nazca"), subject to the satisfaction by Nazca of certain performance criteria. Nazca, through its subsidiary, is in the business of the exploration for and development of ground water resources in Chile. Nazca holds two exploration concessions in Chile and has applied for an additional six concessions, and is in the process of 4 5 conducting exploration and development work on the granted concessions. The consideration payable by the Corporation for the Nazca shares consists of: (i) $200,000 per concession, upon receipt of certain regulatory approvals, by the delivery of shares of common stock of the Corporation having an attributed value of between $1.00 and $1.75 per share, depending upon the fair market value of the shares at the time such approvals are granted, and (ii) one share of common stock of the Corporation for each $1.00 of net after tax income earned by the Corporation from the concessions, up to a maximum of 1,500,000 shares. Incorporated by reference herein is the Corporation's Form 8-K dated October 20, 1998 relating to the agreement to acquire the shares of common stock of Nazca. At December 31, 1998, the Corporation had 4 employees. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The Corporation's administrative facilities are located on leased premises located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In June 1995, Klein v. PDG Remediation, Inc., et al., No. CIV-4954 (DAB) was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and alleged that the Corporation, its directors and certain of its officers, PDGE and the underwriters of the Corporation's initial public offering issued or participated in issuing a registration statement and prospectus which contained material misstatements or omissions, which were relied upon by the plaintiff. Specifically, the plaintiff alleged that the defendants knew or should have known that the Florida reimbursement program in which the Corporation participated was operating at a deficit and was being revised to eliminate funding of environmental remediation activities for lower priority sites. The action was certified as a class action on behalf of all purchasers of the Corporation's common stock from February 9, 1995 through May 23, 1995. The plaintiff sought: (i) either the rescission of any agreement with respect to the purchase of shares of common stock of the Corporation by members of the class or statutory damages, and (ii) interest, attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses. In October 1998, the Corporation agreed to an out of court settlement of all claims in the aforesaid class action lawsuit, without any admission of liability or wrongdoing, pursuant to which it paid the settlement amount of $259,500.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition of the Corporation for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and the 11 months ended December 31, 1996 should be read in conjunction with the Corporation's audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere herein. In September 1996, the Corporation changed its fiscal year end from January 31 to December 31. As a result, the comparison of the year ended December 31, 1997 to the 11 months ended December 31, 1996 is a comparison between 12 and 11 month periods. The Corporation sold its environmental remediation services operations in April 1997 and a waste oil recycling facility in December 1997. These operations have been accounted for as discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 1997. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior periods' financial statements to conform to the current period's method of presentation. Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to the - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Year Ended December 31, 1997 - ---------------------------- Revenues for the year ended December 31, 1998 increased to $0.7 million, from $6,000 for the comparative period of 1997. In the year ended December 31, 1998, the Corporation reported income of $0.1 million from consulting fees. Effective March 31, 1998, the Corporation sold Services and recognized a non- cash accounting gain of $0.4 million on the sale as a result of the disposal of net liabilities of Services.

Interest expense decreased to $0.1 million in the year ended December 31, 1998 from $0.6 million in the year ended December 31, 1997, primarily as a result of the sale of Services in the first quarter of 1998, which had financed certain receivables for work performed under certain Florida State rehabilitation programs. General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 1998 increased to $0.5 million from $0.4 million in the comparative period of 1997, primarily as a result of an increase in professional fees. In the year ended December 31, 1998, the Corporation paid $0.3 million in settlement of a class action lawsuit. See "Item 3. Legal Proceedings" herein for further details with respect to the action. The Corporation reported a net loss of $0.2 million, or $0.08 per share, in the year ended December 31, 1998. In the year ended December 31, 1997, the Corporation reported a net loss of $4.1 million, or $0.83 per share, which included a loss of $3.0 million, or $0.62 per share, from discontinued operations. Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 1997 Compared to the 11 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Months Ended December 31, 1996 - ------------------------------ Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 1997 decreased to $0.4 million from $1.0 million for the 11 months ended December 31, 1996, primarily as a result of the legal and accounting costs associated with certain litigation involving the Corporation and the 8 9 costs associated with a proposed acquisition in the 11 months ended December 31, 1996 and reduced staffing as a result of the sale of the Corporation's environmental remediation services operations and a waste oil recycling facility in 1997. Interest expense was $0.6 million in the period ended December 31, 1997, compared to $0.4 million in the period ended December 31, 1996, primarily as a result of an increase in amounts funded under two agreements with Sirrom Environmental Funding, LLC during the year ended December 31, 1997, whereby the Corporation had funded the amounts billed and outstanding under certain Florida State environmental rehabilitation programs in the amount of $3.0 million, at the rate of prime plus 2% and 3%, respectively. The Corporation reported a loss from continuing operations of $1.0 million in the year ended December 31, 1997, compared to $1.3 million in the 11 months ended December 31, 1996. The Corporation recognized a loss from the operation of its environmental remediation services operations of $0.5 million in the year ended December 31, 1997, compared to $0.2 million in the period ended December 31, 1996.

The Corporation reported a loss of $1.2 million from the operation of a waste oil recycling facility and a loss of $1.4 million from the sale of the facility in the year ended December 31, 1997. The Corporation had income from the operation of its soil remediation facility of $90,000 in the 11 months ended December 31, 1996, as a result of a reduction in the reserve for operating losses. The Corporation's net loss for the year ended December 31, 1997 was $4.1 million, or $0.83 per share, compared to $1.4 million, or $0.54 per share, for the 11 months ended December 31, 1996. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- The Corporation had cash of $50,000 at December 31, 1998, compared to $0.1 million at December 31, 1997. The Corporation maintains a line of credit with an affiliate in the amount of $0.8 million to fund working capital requirements. The line of credit was fully utilized as at December 31, 1998. Net cash used in operating activities was $0.9 million in the year ended December 31, 1998, compared to $1.0 million in the year ended December 31, 1997. A decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities used cash of $0.1 million in the year ended December 31, 1998, compared to $0.4 million in the comparable period of 1997. A decrease in cash held in escrow provided cash of $0.1 million in the year ended December 31, 1998, compared to $0.6 million in the year ended December 31, 1997. The Corporation recognized a non-cash accounting gain of $0.4 million on the sale of Services in the year ended December 31, 1998. Investing activities used cash of $1.5 million in the year ended December 31, 1998, primarily as a result of the acquisition of a note receivable. The note is due in the near term and bears interest at a rate of 8.75% per annum. On October 20, 1998, the Corporation entered into an agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Nazca, which is in the business of the exploration for and development of ground water resources in Chile. See "Item 1. Business - Acquisition" herein for further details with respect to the agreement. Financing activities provided cash of $2.2 million in the year ended December 31, 1998, compared to $0.5 million in the year ended December 31, 1997. In the first quarter of 1998, the Corporation 9 10 completed the issuance of an aggregate of 467,500 shares of Preferred Stock of the Corporation in consideration of debt forgiveness of $2.2 million and cash of $2.2 million, net of expenses. The Corporation believes that its assets and line of credit should enable the Corporation to meet its current ongoing requirements. The Corporation anticipates that it may require substantial capital to pursue current and future acquisitions of businesses and/or operating assets and will seek such capital through debt and/or equity financing. Year 2000 - --------- Many of the world's computer systems currently record years in a two-digit format. These computer systems will be unable to properly interpret dates beyond the year 1999, which could lead to business disruptions and is commonly referred to as the "Year 2000" issue. Based on its current information, management of the Corporation has determined that the Year 2000 issue will not pose significant operational problems for its computer systems as it only utilizes commercially available software and personal computers, which are Year 2000 compliant. The total cost to the Corporation of Year 2000 compliance activities has not been and is not currently anticipated to be material to its financial position or results of operations in any given year. In addition, management of the Corporation has initiated communications with clients to ascertain their Year 2000 readiness and develop contingency plans as required, and management intends to address this issue with any prospective client. The determination by management and costs relating to the Year 2000 issue are based on management's best estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events. However, there can be no assurance that these estimates will be achieved and actual results could vary materially from those anticipated. ITEM 7A.

The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The Company - ----------- Prior to December 1997, Ichor Corporation ("the Company") was in the environmental industry, providing environmental remediation services and operating a recycling waste oil facility. The Company sold the remediation services segment of its business in April 1997 for $147 in cash and retained the segment's current assets and liabilities. The waste oil recycling facility was sold in December 1997 for $1,000 including $320 in cash and a $680 note which was paid in 1999. Both segments were accounted for as discontinued operations and unless otherwise stated, all notes to financial statements relate to continuing operations. In March 1998, the Company sold its subsidiary at a non-cash accounting gain of $437 which resulted from the assumption of the subsidiary's liabilities by the purchaser. The Company is presently evaluating other potential business acquisitions. During 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Nazca Holdings Ltd. ("Nazca"). A wholly-owned subsidiary of Nazca is in the business of locating and developing ground water resources in Chile to be sold to mining, agricultural and public utility customers. Because the transaction was incomplete at December 31, 1998, the results of Nazca's operations are not included in these consolidated financial statements. In July 1996, Drummond Financial Corporation ("Drummond") acquired a 59.5% interest in the Company. In December 1996, Logan International Corporation ("Logan") acquired a 50.3% interest in the Company which reduced Drummond's ownership to 29.6%. Because of these acquisitions, the Company changed its year end from January 31 to December 31, beginning in 1996. Effective December 31, 1998, Drummond and Logan transferred their interests in the Company to a subsidiary of their common parent corporation, MFC Bancorp Ltd. ("MFC"). Advances to/from affiliates involve various subsidiaries of MFC and are due in the near term. Notes receivable include $1,400 from one company which is secured with collateral in excess of the note balance, bears interest at 8.75%, and is due in the near term. 19 20 Note 1. (Continued) In 1997, Logan converted $1,425 of its debt from the Company into 142,500 shares of the Company's Preferred Stock, Series 1. In addition, another subsidiary of MFC converted a $750 advance into 75,000 shares of Preferred Stock, Series 1. Interest paid on a cash basis was the same as interest expense for 1998 and 1997. No interest was paid in cash in 1996. During 1998, the Company settled a purported class action lawsuit for $260 involving purchases of its common stock in a prior year. Principles of Consolidation - --------------------------- The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Cash - ---- Cash balances are occasionally in excess of federally insured amounts. Cash held in escrow represents amounts which were subject to withdrawal restrictions. Taxes on Income - --------------- The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company generally considers all expected future events other than enactments of changes in the tax laws or rates. Earnings Per Share - ------------------ Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into consideration common shares outstanding (computed under basic earnings per share) and potentially dilutive common shares. The conversion of the convertible preferred stock, warrants and the stock options have not been reflected as exercised for the purposes of computing earnings or loss per share since the conversion of such stock or exercise of such warrants and options would be antidilutive. The weighted average number of shares was 4,907,520, 4,912,643, and 2,585,590 for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997, and the eleven months ended December 31, 1996. The loss from operations to compute the amount attributable to common shareholders includes the recognition of preferred stock dividends in arrears of $214 and none for 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Company has 1,150,000 warrants outstanding which allows the holder to acquire common shares at $6 each until 2000. The Company also has 100,000 warrants outstanding which allows the holder to acquire common shares at $1.37 each until 1999. 20 21 Note 1. (Continued) Preferred Stock - --------------- The entire redemption value of Preferred Shares, Series 1, can be exchanged for common stock at 90% of the common stock average market price (as defined). Redemption value is $10 per share and shares are redeemable only by the Company with a 30 day notice. The Preferred Shares, Series 1, have a liquidation preference over other stock to the extent of the redemption value plus unpaid dividends. This stock has an annual cumulative dividend rate of 5%, payable quarterly and no dividends may be paid on common stock if preferred share dividends are in arrears. Stock-Based Compensation - ------------------------ Compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company's stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee is required to pay for the stock. There is no stock-based compensation included in these consolidated financial statements. Use of Estimates - ---------------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Fair Value of Recorded Instruments - ---------------------------------- The fair value of the notes receivable and advances to/from an affiliate were estimated to approximate their recorded values based on the terms of the instruments. New Accounting Standards - ------------------------ Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1997. The primary objective of this statement is to report and disclose a measure of all changes in equity of an entity that result from transactions and other economic events of the period other than transactions with owners. There are no elements of other comprehensive income for 1998, 1997 and 1996; therefore, no disclosures are necessary beyond the consolidated statements of operations. 21 22 Note 1. (Continued) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1997. This statement requires use of the "management approach" model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company's management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Currently, the Company has limited operations and, therefore, management believes there are no identifiable segments and no additional segment information is provided. Statement of Financial Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. This statement requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. Because the Company does not engage in any derivatives or hedging activities, there should be no impact on its financial statements. Note 2. Income Taxes The reconciliation of income tax on income from continuing operations computed at the federal statutory rates to income tax expense is as follows: Eleven Year Ended Year Ended Months Ended December 31, December 31, December 31, 1998 1997 1996 ------------ ------------ ------------ Tax at statutory rate $ (60) $ (349) $ (449) Permanent difference associated with gain on disposal of subsidiary (149) - - Valuation allowance 209 377 832 Other - (28) (383) ------------ ------------ ------------ $ - $ - $ - ============ ============ ============ 22 23 Note 2. (Continued) The significant components of the Company's deferred tax asset as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, is as follows: 1998 1997 ---------- ---------- Accounts receivable allowance $ - $ 191 Net operating loss carryforward 629 2,999 ---------- ---------- Net deferred tax asset before valuation allowance 629 3,190 Valuation allowance for deferred tax asset (629) (3,190) ---------- ---------- Net deferred tax asset $ - $ - ========== ========== The Company has a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $1,850 at December 31, 1998, which expires at: $756 in 2010; $35 in 2011; $443 in 2012; $616 in 2013. The Company's utilization of the losses is subject to limitation due to ownership and operational changes, except those that expire in 2012 and 2013. At December 31, 1997, $2,770 of the deferred tax asset was attributable to the net operating loss carryforwards of a subsidiary which was disposed of in 1998. Note 3. Stock Option Plans 1994 Amended Stock Option Plan - ------------------------------ The Company maintains a stock option plan which provides for the issuance of up to 350,000 shares of the Company's common stock to employees and non- employee directors. The following table summarizes information with respect to the 1994 Amended Stock Option Plan: Weighted Average Number of Exercise Shares Price --------- -------- Outstanding at January 31, 1996 147,500 $ .75 Granted 42,500 1.18 Canceled - Reusable (10,500) .75 --------- Outstanding at December 31, 1996 179,500 .81 23 24 Note 3. (Continued) Weighted Average Number of Exercise Shares Price --------- -------- Granted 145,000 2.00 Canceled - Reusable (89,500) 1.10 --------- Outstanding at December 31, 1997 235,000 1.39 Granted - - Canceled - Reusable (170,000) 1.39 --------- Outstanding at December 31, 1998 65,000 $ .83 ========= ======== Exercisable at December 31, 1998 65,000 $ .83 ========= ======== Reserved for future grants at December 31, 1998 285,000 ========= The weighted average fair value (per option) at date of grant for options granted during the year ended December 31, 1997, and the eleven months ended December 31, 1996, was $.65 and $1.18, respectively. Almost all options have an expiration date ten years after issuance. No options have been exercised. 1995 Qualified Incentive Stock Option Plan - ------------------------------------------ The Company's board of directors approved a second stock option plan on August 15, 1996. This plan provides for the issuance of up to 150,000 shares of the Company's common stock to key employees. The following table summarizes information with respect to the 1995 Qualified Incentive Stock Option Plan: Weighted Average Number of Exercise Shares Price --------- -------- Outstanding at January 31, 1996 - $ - Granted 150,000 .75 Canceled - Reusable (25,000) .75 --------- Outstanding at December 31, 1996 125,000 .75 Granted - - Canceled - Reusable (25,000) .75 --------- Outstanding at December 31, 1997 100,000 .75 24 25 Note 3. (Continued) Weighted Average Number of Exercise Shares Price --------- -------- Granted - - Canceled - Reusable (100,000) .75 --------- Exercisable at December 31, 1998 - $ - ========= ======== Reserved for future grants at December 31, 1998 150,000 ========= The weighted average fair value (per option) at grant date for options granted during the eleven months ended December 31, 1996, was $.72. All options have an expiration date ten years after issuance. No options have been exercised. Compensation - ------------ For both the 1994 Amended Stock Option Plan and the 1995 Qualified Incentive Stock Option Plan, when options are granted, or the exercise price is adjusted, the exercise price cannot be less than the fair market value of the Company's common stock (as defined). However, had compensation expense been recognized on the basis of fair value pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," instead of the accepted accounting method used by the Company, net loss and per share data would have been adjusted as follows: Eleven Year Ended Year Ended Months Ended December 31, December 31, December 31, 1998 1997 1996 ------------ ------------ ------------ Net loss - ------------------------------- As reported $ (178) $ (4,054) $ (1,399) =========== =========== =========== Proforma $ (178) $ (4,085) $ (1,551) =========== =========== =========== Basic earnings per share data - ------------------------------- As reported $ (.08) $ (.83) $ (.54) =========== =========== =========== Proforma $ (.08) $ (.83) $ (.60) =========== =========== =========== 25 26 Note 3. (Continued) The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the grant date using the Black Scholes model. The assumptions used in calculating fair value are as follows: Eleven Year Ended Months Ended December 31, December 31, 1997 1996 ------------ ------------ Risk-free interest rate 6.0% 5.0% Expected life of the options 3 years 10 years Expected volatility 101.2% 111.5% Expected dividend yield 0.0% 0.0% 26 27 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PETERSON SULLIVAN P.L.L.C. 601 UNION STREET SUITE 2300 SEATTLE WA 98101 (206) 382-7777 FAX 382-7700 CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Board of Directors and Shareholders Ichor Corporation and Subsidiaries Our report on the consolidated financial statements of Ichor Corporation and Subsidiary is included on page 14 of this Form 10-K.
