|The management division of the Registrant is engaged in the business of commercial, retail and industrial waste management and waste handling. This division offers a "total package" concept to commercial, retail and industrial clients to cover their waste management needs. Combining waste reduction, waste materials diversion and waste equipment technology, the Registrant creates waste programs tailored to each client's individual needs. The Registrant offers a more complete line of products and services than its competitors and is better able to coordinate these services on a regional and nationwide basis. By offering competitively priced waste handling equipment from a number of different manufacturers, the Registrant is able to tailor equipment packages for individual client needs. The waste management services offered by the Registrant include locating and contracting with a hauling company at a reasonable cost at each participating location for the customers of the Registrant that are a part of the management program offered by the Registrant. Because the Registrant is not a waste transporter, it is able to maintain a neutral position with the customers and the hauling companies. The Registrant has designed and developed proprietary computer software that provides the Registrant's personnel with relevant information on each of the client's locations, as well as pertinent information on disposal rates and costs of equipment, including installation and shipping. This software has allowed the Registrant to build a database for serving customers nationwide as well as Mexico, Canada and Puerto Rico. The Registrant is able to estimate cost savings to potential customers by reviewing their current waste hauling invoices either regionally or nationwide. The Registrant is also capable of generating customized billing statements to accommodate customer needs.

|The Registrant plans to grow by seeking additional suppliers of recycled materials, taking advantage of new markets for those materials, both domestic and foreign, expanding its marketing base and by seeking future joint ventures and acquisitions of companies in the management services portion of the business. The Registrant continues to target retail and industrial customers throughout North America for the purpose of increasing its clientele in this sector. Although the number of locations for each industrial customer will generally be less than that of large retail chains, solid waste output for each location of industrial clients is generally greater than that of retail clients. Since industrial clients generate greater volumes of solid waste, the Registrant believes that industrial clients offer more opportunities for large equipment orders than retail clients.

|Increasing world demand for metals and paper will provide growth in the future for the recycling business. Opportunities for continued growth in the management services business are enhanced by the increasingly stringent regulatory and political constraints being placed on the waste hauling and disposal industries. These more stringent federal, state and local regulations drive prices higher throughout the industry. With ever-increasing costs, solid waste disposal is becoming one of the larger expense items for retail and industrial customers, and perhaps one of the most difficult to control. These increased costs enhance the value of the Registrant's services. Through the retention of the Registrant's services, customers can outsource their in-house waste needs to an experienced independent entity capable of lowering and containing waste disposal costs.

|On July 1, 1984, the Registrant began a solid waste handling and disposal equipment sales organization under the name Waste Equipment Sales and Services Company ("WESSCO"). On January 1, 1985, the Registrant merged with Computerized Waste Systems, Inc. ("CWS"), a Massachusetts corporation. CWS was a corporation specializing in offering solid waste management consultations for large multi-location companies involved in the retail, restaurant and industrial sectors. At the time of the merger, CWS was concentrating on large retail chains, but has changed its emphasis to include commercial and industrial clients. This strategy created an additional target market for the Registrant. Subsequent to the merger with CWS, the Registrant moved the CWS headquarters from Springfield, Massachusetts to Louisville, Kentucky. At the time of the merger, much of the client base and marketing efforts were concentrated in the Northeast. With the move to Louisville, the Registrant began to expand its marketing efforts, which are nationwide as well as Canada and Puerto Rico.

WESSCO has expanded its product line and presently offers a variety of equipment, which would be necessary for an efficient waste handling and/or recycling system for an individual user. The prices WESSCO can offer are competitive with most dealers since it purchases equipment at dealer cost without paying dealer overhead. The WESSCO program is attractive to customers planning expansion programs. Some of these customers have designated WESSCO as their exclusive waste equipment supplier and consultant. By working with the customer from the time the initial building plans are developed, WESSCO has input into the design, development and implementation of the waste handling system.

|In addition to its other services, the Registrant provides management services relating to recycling and waste stream analysis. The main advantage to offering these types of management services is that the individual projects are priced on a substantial prepaid individual basis. This method of pricing allows the Registrant to collect an up-front fee with the opportunity to "sell" the customer traditional services after the evaluation and/or any subsequent implementation is complete. By offering management and evaluation services, the Registrant is able to pursue additional customers.

|The Registrant is involved in the management of non-hazardous solid waste and recyclables for retail, commercial and industrial customers. As such, the industry is actually driven by the multi-billion dollar solid waste collection and disposal industry. The size of this industry has increased for the past several years and should continue to increase, as landfill space decreases. Although society (and industry) has developed an increased awareness of environmental issues and recycling has increased, waste production also continues to increase. Because of environmental concerns, new regulations and cost factors, it has become difficult to obtain the necessary permits to build any new landfills. Management believes that with the consolidation taking place in the waste industry, it will become increasingly difficult for a customer to receive a fair price. The Registrant should therefore be in a position to be called upon to represent the best interest of that customer; this fact can only enhance the Registrant's business.

|The rising costs associated with solid waste disposal have created additional opportunities for the Registrant. Because waste disposal has begun to be an increasingly larger percentage of the total monthly expenditures incurred by commercial establishments, the Registrant believes that the services offered by the Registrant will be in greater demand. Many commercial establishments that have paid little attention to the costs associated with waste disposal in the past are now looking for ways to reduce expenses in this area. The Registrant offers commercial establishments its expertise to lower waste disposal bills and initiate recycling programs to generate additional revenues and/or reduce costs and materials bound for ultimate disposal.

|In addition to increasing landfill costs, regulatory measures and more stringent control of material bound for disposal ("flow control") are making the management of solid waste an increasingly difficult problem. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") is expected to continue the present trend of restricting the amount of potentially recyclable material bound for landfills. Many states have passed, or are contemplating measures, which would require commercial establishments to recycle a minimum percentage of their waste stream and would restrict the percentage of recyclable materials in any commercial load of solid waste material. Many states have already passed restrictive regulations requiring a plan for the reduction of waste or the segregation of recyclable materials from the waste stream at the source. Management of the Registrant believes that these restrictions may create additional marketing opportunities as waste disposal needs within commercial establishments become more specialized. Some large commercial establishments have hired in-house staff to handle the solid waste management and recycling responsibilities, but have found that without adequate resources and staff support, in-house handling of these responsibilities may not be an effective alternative. The Registrant offers these establishments a possible solution to this increasing burden.

|Lease Agreement. The Lease Agreement (the "K&R Lease"), effective as of January 1, 1998, between K&R, as landlord, and the Registrant, as lessee, covers approximately 20.5 acres of land and the improvements thereon, which are located at 7100 Grade Lane in Louisville, Kentucky (the "Leased Premises"). The principal improvements consist of an approximately 22,750 square foot building used as the corporate and CWS offices, an approximately 8,286 square foot building used for sales/leasing and information technology offices, an approximately 13,995 square foot building used as the paper recycling plant, an approximately 12,000 square foot building used for the metals recycling plant, and an approximately 51,760 square foot building used as the recycling offices and warehouse space, with the remaining 15,575 square feet of space contained in five (5) buildings ranging in size from approximately 256 to 8,000 square feet. The initial term of the K&R Lease is for ten years with two five-year option periods (the "Option Periods") available thereafter. The base rent for the first five years was $450,000 per annum. The rent for the second five years, beginning January 1, 2003, is $505,272 per annum, payable at the beginning of each month in an amount equal to $42,106 (the "Fixed Minimum Rent"). The Fixed Minimum Rent adjusts each five years, including each of the Option Periods, in accordance with the Consumer Price Index. The Fixed Minimum Rent also increases to $750,000 per annum, in an amount equal to $62,500 per month in the event of a change in control of the Registrant.

The Registrant and its counsel are reviewing the status of the options contained in the Lassak Agreement in light of questions concerning the intention of the parties as to the replacement of earlier awarded options to Mr. Lassak under the JCA/AML Agreement.

Management of the Registrant believes that with the proprietary database of regional and national pricing, the Registrant will maintain its edge on a national basis.

|There has been increased competition from national hauling companies. The large national hauling companies often attempt to handle an entire chain of locations for a "national chain" client. This scenario poses a potential conflict of interest since these hauling companies can attain greater profitability from increases in hauling and disposal revenues. In addition to having an interest in higher hauling and disposal rates, the national hauling companies do not have operations in every community and do not, to the knowledge of management, have some of the billing and computer capabilities, which the Registrant is able to offer. Additionally, management has encountered evidence of some reluctance from independent hauling companies to work with national hauling companies.

|There is also competition from some equipment manufacturers. These companies have their primary interest in selling or leasing equipment and offer management services in order to secure these sales or leases.

|An important difference between the Registrant and the majority of its competition is the Registrant's management process. The systematic approach attempts to provide consistent results for the customer. At the implementation stage, the Registrant actively bids out every location that a new customer requests. The Registrant repeats this bidding process at any time that a client receives notice of an undocumented price increase or at regular intervals as indicated in the contractual relationship. At subsequent stages, the Registrant will evaluate a customer's solid waste program and provide alternatives for improvement.

|The Registrant has developed a network of maintenance and hauling companies throughout the country and due to the volume of business awarded to them by the Registrant, often these companies will offer discounted hauling and maintenance rates to the Registrant. However, the Registrant is not affiliated with any particular company or vendor in the hauling and/or maintenance industries, but rather deals with those companies and vendors that can supply quality service at a favorable price. In addition to the volume of business handled by some of these vendors, the vendors understand that as long as the accounts are well serviced, they will be invited to bid on future accounts.

|Few, if any, of the Registrant's competitors have a national network of vendors similar to the one the Registrant has developed over its years of operation. The major hauling companies are limited in the scope of services, which they can provide to commercial/industrial accounts. Although the major hauling companies have operating companies in most major and intermediate-sized cities, they do not have nationwide geographic coverage. Therefore, for large commercial/industrial clients, they must obtain bids from local hauling companies that may perceive them to be future competitors. The Registrant has positioned itself to negotiate with the haulers, while servicing its clients on a nationwide basis.

|Most of the direct competition is from small regional companies that bid on regional accounts or national accounts on a regional basis. Few of the Registrant's competitors appear to be equipped to handle large national accounts nor do they seem to have the inclination to expand their geographic coverage. There are numerous national companies in closely related businesses, including national hauling companies that have substantially greater financial resources than does the Registrant. Should any of these companies decide to compete directly with the Registrant, it could have a material adverse effect on the business of the Registrant.

|Any environmental regulatory liability relating to the Registrant's operations is generally borne by the customers with whom the Registrant contracts and the third party vendors in their capacity as transporters. As a matter of Registrant's policy, the Registrant uses its best efforts to secure indemnification for environmental liability from its customers and third party vendors. Although management of the Registrant believes that its business does not subject it to potential environmental liability, the Registrant continues to use best efforts to be in compliance with federal, state and local environmental laws, including but not limited to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, as amended, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, the Clean Air Act, as amended, and the Clean Water Act. Such compliance has not historically constituted a material expense to the Registrant.

|The collection and disposal of solid waste and rendering of related environmental services are subject to federal, state and local requirements which regulate health, safety, the environment, zoning and land-use. Federal, state and local regulations vary, but generally govern disposal activities and the location and use of facilities and also impose restrictions to prohibit or minimize air and water pollution. In addition, governmental authorities have the power to enforce compliance with these regulations and to obtain injunctions or impose fines in the case of violations, including criminal penalties. These regulations are administered by the EPA and various other federal, state and local environmental, health and safety agencies and authorities, including the Occupational Safety and Health Administration of the U.S. Department of Labor.

|The Registrant strives to conduct its operations in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. While such amounts expended in the past or anticipated to be expended in the future have not had and are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Registrant's financial condition or operations, the possibility remains that technological, regulatory or enforcement developments, the results of environmental studies or other factors could materially alter this expectation.

|Each state in which the Registrant operates has its own laws and regulations governing solid waste disposal, water and air pollution and, in most cases, releases and cleanup of hazardous substances and liability for such matters. Several states have enacted laws that will require counties to adopt comprehensive plans to reduce, through waste planning, composting, recycling, or other programs, the volume of solid waste landfills. These laws have recently been promulgated in several states. Legislative and regulatory measures to mandate or encourage waste reduction at the source and waste recycling, also are under consideration by Congress and the EPA.

|Finally, various states have enacted, or are considering enacting, laws that restrict the disposal within the state of solid or hazardous wastes generated outside the state. While laws that overtly discriminate against out of state waste have been found to be unconstitutional, some laws that are less overtly discriminatory have been upheld in court. Challenges to other such laws are pending.

|The Registrant has never declared a cash dividend on its Common Stock. Until August 8, 2000, the Registrant had always had a policy intending that the retention of earnings would be used to help finance the Registrant's expansion programs. On August 8, 2000, the Board of Directors of the Registrant approved a change in the dividend policy whereby dividends can be declared subject to Board approval. The Board of Directors has the discretionary power to declare dividends within the constraints of its loan agreement with the Branch Banking and Trust Company (BB&T) formerly known as the Bank of Louisville.

Factors that could affect financial predictions, forecasts and projections include the fluctuations in the commodity price index and any conditions internal to the major customers of the Registrant, including loss of their accounts.

|The Registrant continued to pursue a growth strategy in the waste management services arena servicing over 5,000 customer locations throughout the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico and building a base of approximately 2,300 vendors. This strategy will allow for diversity of business opportunities so that the Registrant is not as dependent upon the operating results of the recycling division. This diversity has helped to stabilize revenues and gross profit during a period of time when commodity prices fluctuate and affect the ferrous and non-ferrous markets. Much of management's focus and attention now and in the future is directed towards the growth of the management services business segment through expansion in the existing markets and through an acquisition strategy. The Registrant is also focused on technology enhancements that can be provided to the new and existing customer base to further solidify customer relationships. Additionally, the Registrant is exploring strategic alliances and relationships that will enable it to effectively execute its growth and acquisition strategy.

|The Registrant currently maintains a $3.8 million senior revolving credit facility with the Branch Banking and Trust Company (BB&T). Indebtedness under this credit facility accrues interest at Bank's prime rate. The maturity date under this agreement is June 2004. Management plans to request BB&T to extend the maturity date of this agreement in the first quarter of 2004. The Credit Line is collateralized by all assets of the Registrant. As of December 31, 2003, there were no borrowings against the line of credit compared to $1,750,000 as of December 31, 2002. The terms of the revolving credit agreement place certain restrictive covenants on the Registrant, including maintenance of a specified tangible net worth, debt to net worth and EBITDA ratio. Consequently, these covenants restrict the ability of the Registrant to incur as much additional debt as it may desire for future growth. At December 31, 2003, the Company was in compliance with all restrictive covenants.

|In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that it consistently applies judgments and estimates and such consistent application results in financial statements and accompanying notes that fairly represent all periods presented. However, any errors in these judgments and estimates may have a material impact on the Registrant's statement of operations and financial conditions. Critical accounting policies, as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, are those that are most important to the portrayal of the Registrant's financial condition and results of operations and require management's most difficult and subjective judgments and estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.

|The Registrant is required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which the Registrant operates. This process involves estimating the Registrant's actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within the Registrant's consolidated balance sheet. The Registrant must then assess the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to the extent that the Registrant believes recovery is not likely, the Registrant must establish a valuation allowance. To the extent the Registrant establishes a valuation allowance in a period, the Registrant must include an expense with the tax provision in the statement of operations. The Registrant has not recorded a valuation allowance to reduce the carrying amount of recorded deferred tax assets representing future deductions, as the Registrant believes it will have sufficient taxable income in the future to realize these deductions.

|Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are reported at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization for financial reporting purposes is charged to operating expense using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives are up to 40 years for buildings and leasehold improvements, 3 to 10 years for office and operating equipment, and 5 years for rental equipment.

|Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $735,726 or 12.4% to $5,213,675 in 2003 compared to $5,949,401 in 2002. This is primarily due to a reduction of amortization, building lease, insurance and equipment repair expenses. Reductions of $164,500, related to the recycling division, of amortization expense and building lease expense were a direct result of a non-compete agreement and a property rental agreement ending as of May 31, 2003. As a percentage of total revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses were 4.4% in 2003 compared to 5.9% in 2002.

|Interest expense increased $93,061 or 43.6% to $306,261 in 2003 compared to $213,200 in 2002 due to the financing of the purchase of 10.723 acres and a building at 7110 Grade Lane, Louisville, Kentucky. Other expense was $228,542 in 2003 compared to other income of $28,082 in 2002. This increase was due primarily to costs incurred by the Registrant related to the termination of a property lease agreement in the recycling division of $184,000.

|Income tax provision increased $216,560 to $377,953 in 2003 compared to $161,393 in 2002. The effective rate in 2003 was approximately 36% based primarily on the federal and state statutory rates offset partially by the benefit of reducing the deferred tax valuation allowance established the preceding year. Based on 2003 income and anticipated future earnings, the net operating losses giving rise to the deferred tax assets are now expected to be fully utilized.  The 2002 net loss before taxes was $2,311.  The tax provision was due to (i) the establishment of a valuation allowance related to deferred tax asset from previously recognized net operating losses based on the uncertainty of the ability to offset those net operating losses against future income, (ii) the tax effect on a previously under-accrued item and (iii) an IRS refund at a less than anticipated amount.

|Total revenue increased $7,507,973 or 8.0% to $101,279,239 in 2002 compared to $93,771,266 in 2001. Management services revenue increased $3,990,395 or 5.5% to $76,755,209 in 2002 compared to $72,764,814 in 2001. This is primarily due to an increase in the number of customer locations managed as well as an increase in volume of solid waste that is produced by each customer location. This portion of the management services revenue increased $3,549,722 or 5.0% to $75,234,451 in 2002 compared to $71,684,729 in 2001. Recycling revenue increased $3,655,671 or 19.6% to $22,287,234 in 2002 compared to $18,631,563 in 2001. This is due to the increase in commodity prices of approximately 11.8% in the Ferrous market and 1.1% in the Non-Ferrous market as well as an increase in the volume of outbound shipments of approximately 11.7% in the Ferrous market and 12.7% in the Non-Ferrous market for the year 2002 compared to the year 2001. Equipment, service and leasing revenue decreased $138,093 or 5.8% to $2,236,796 in 2002 compared to $2,374,889 in 2001.

|To date, inflation has not and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Registrant's operation in the near term. The Registrant has no long-term fixed-price contracts and the Registrant believes it will be able to pass through most cost increases resulting from inflation to its customers. The Registrant is susceptible to the cyclical nature of the commodity business.

No longer is ownership of over 50% of voting interests the sole criterion for determining whether an entity should be consolidated.

|In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. Statement 145 changes the accounting for debt extinguishments and some minor technical corrections. Debt extinguishments were previously considered extraordinary items. Under this Statement, they are part of income from continuing operations and not shown net of tax. Statement 145 also addresses modifications of capital leases. If a capital lease is modified to become an operating lease, it will be accounted for as a sale-leaseback, instead of being accounted for as a new lease. Statement 145 applies for years beginning after May 14, 2002. We adopted Statement 145 in 2003.

|The proposed Statement would be effective for all employee awards granted, modified, or settled in 2006 for calendar year-end companies. As of the effective date, compensation cost related to the non-vested portion of awards outstanding as of that date would be based on the grant-date fair value as calculated under the original provisions of Statement 123. The proposed Statement is expected to be issued for comment in the first quarter of 2004.

|We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

|Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The Schedule II - Valuation and Qualifying Accounts for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is not part of the basic financial statements. This Schedule has been subject to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic financial statements and in our opinion, fairly states in all material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

|The Company's management services segment provides its customers evaluation, management, monitoring, auditing and cost reduction of its customer's non-hazardous solid waste removal activities. The Company recognizes revenue related to the management aspects of these services as the services are delivered. The segment also manages the specific waste hauling needs of its customers, which includes subcontracting with waste haulers throughout the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and Mexico. Revenue related to this activity is recorded on a gross basis because the Company is ultimately responsible for service delivery, has discretion over the selection of the specific service provided and the amounts to be charged, and is directly obligated to the subcontractor for the services provided.
