Rich Coast, Inc. Expects Revenue Gains in Early 1999 DEARBORN, Mich., Oct. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Rich Coast, Inc. (Nasdaq: KRHC - news) today said it expects revenues to grow beginning in early 1999 as approval from a major environmental company to provide service under a blanket contract to a Detroit auto manufacturer moves forward. As a Tier 1 supplier, the major environmental company has approved Rich Coast to provide services to 30 plants in Michigan, Ohio and Ontario. Rich Coast provides a full range of non hazardous treatment, storage and disposal services. ''This is a breakthrough event for Rich Coast,'' said James P. Fagan, president and chief executive officer. ''We expect this agreement to boost revenues to $4-$4.5 million on an annualized basis. This would be up at least 60 percent from about $2.5 million currently and will move us toward our near-term goal of generating an operating profit. We currently estimate our break even rate to be about $3.3 million in revenues on an annualized basis. ''Our new 20-acre facility and our exclusive technologies, especially the ZPM Bubble Chamber(TM), are key to our near-term growth. We are now able to aggressively market to a wide range of industries,'' Mr. Fagan said. The company's revenues for the first quarter ended July 31, 1998 were $605,491, up 14 percent from the prior year's first quarter of $561,786. Net loss for this year's quarter was $505,108, or eleven cents a share, with 4.7 million weighted average shares outstanding. This compares to a loss of $363,692, or two cents a share, with 4.1 million weighted average shares outstanding in the prior year's first quarter. Rich Coast, Inc., provides cutting edge treatment services for virtually all non-hazardous industrial and commercial wastes at its 20-acre facility in the heart of Detroit's heavily industrial auto manufacturing center. Capabilities include hard-to-treat oil processing, bio remediation, wastewater treatment, high capacity shredding and laboratory services.
