If you don't wish to receive our information any longer-you must visit our site and remove yourself. www.saadvisory.com/update New Recommendation PDG Environmental, Inc. (pdge.ob--OTC BB) Fully reporting with the SEC. Current price --.24 52 week range--.15- .75 Website- http://www.pdge.com Business started 1984 or so Shares Outstanding--9.3 million as of Sept 31, 2002 PDG Environmental, Inc. is a holding company, which, through its wholly owned operating subs, provides environmental and specialty contracting services, including asbestos and lead abatement, insulation, microbial remediation, demolition and related services. Backlog @ end of July 31st quarter remains strong @ $28.5 million Review Sept 13th 02 press release for complete management discussion concerning results and future statements. Selected Financial Data July 31st quarter 2002 2001 Rev $12.2 million $10.7 million Income from continuing operations $242,000 ($219,000) Income/sh .02 (.03) Extraordinary income/sh .02 ---- shares outstanding 9.5 million 9.2 million For the six months ending July 31 st 2002 Rev $23,127 million $16,541 million Income/sh from operations .02 (.14) The extraordinary income from sale of operation in ST. Louis Current line of credit $4.15 million--un used amount $1.1 million Book value- around .44 Select financial data --year-end--January 31st 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003E Rev $24.6 mil $36.8 mil $28.4 mil $34.5 mil $42.5 mil $45+ mil income/ sh .05 .14 .03 .02 (.17) .07 from operations After numerous conversations with management we are confident that PDGE is an excellent short and long term investment for risk oriented investor types. When you consider that the President of this company started PDGE during 1984 with revenues of $400k and has grown PDGE into a $45 million rev based company--you have to be impressed! Our .07 earnings est. for fiscal 03 ending Jan 03 does not include the .02 extraordinary that was recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 03. We actually believe that the rev and earnings will be higher--We feel management is being conservative. Within the latest press release management talks about finally riding itself of money losing projects and that profits will now continue, the company will continue to grow and in our opinion will lead to much higher share prices. If we assume that PDGE will earn .07 for fiscal 03 and based upon the current share price of .24- which results in a PE value of 3.4x- if we use a conservative PE valuation of 15x we get a share price of $1.05---a 337% appreciation potential from current levels. If we use Price to Sale (PSR)--A value of 1 is considered very cheap! Based upon rev est. for Fiscal 03 ending January we calculate a PSR of .05--This number indicates a severely undervalued situation. PDGE would trade @ $4.75 if it was to sport a PSR of 1!!!! We are not saying that PDGE should trade @ that level either, but it should be at least .75- $1.25 near term based upon the numbers. Concerning Book value--stated book is .44--share price is .24 . PDGE could easily trade @ two to three times book and not be overvalued. Again a share price much higher than the currently quoted value of .24!!! We have a company that does business with many fortune 100 & 500 companies. We have an extremely cheap stock trading @ a heavy discount to peer companies. We have estimates as well as reality that indicate PDGE @ .24 is a steal. We have competent management. We also have the potential of additional acquisitions and/or buyout by a competitor that realizes that PDGE is a bargain! Market cap is around $2 million and sales are approaching $45!! Cheap way to buy revenue! We rate PDGE with a strong Buy recommendation @ current levels! We will monitor PDGE for % gain performance within S.A.Advisory.
