FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FlagshipPDG Announces Second Quarter Results

PITTSBURGH, PA, September 12, 2008 — PDG Environmental, Inc. (dba FlagshipPDG) (OTC BB: PDGE), a leading provider of environmental remediation, disaster response and reconstruction services, today reported financial results for the second fiscal quarter and six months ended July 31, 2008.

Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 were $23.2 million, down 12.9% from the $26.6 million reported in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. Field margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 was $5.5 million or approximately 23.7% of revenue as compared to field margin of $6.8 million or approximately 25.6% of revenue in the prior year fiscal quarter. The drop in the field margin percentage is largely attributable to projected increased costs of approximately $0.7 million for a $4.0 million contract scheduled to be completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. The company reported a net after-tax loss of $(0.7) million, or $(0.04) per diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, compared with net income of $0.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. Earnings for the period were adversely impacted by the contract adjustment mentioned above and an increase in bad debt expense of $0.45 million due to claim settlements and higher receivable levels. Claim settlements generated $0.4 million of positive cash flow for the company. EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) was a negative $(0.1) million for the current quarter versus a positive EBITDA of $1.7 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2008. Other direct and SG&A costs increased $0.3 million from the second quarter of fiscal 2008 largely due to increased bad debt expense offset by lower personnel costs. In the second quarter of fiscal 2009, FlagshipPDG recorded non-cash accounting costs of $0.3 million related to its July 2005 private placement as compared to $0.2 million the comparable period last year.

For the six moths ended July 31, 2008 revenues were $40.9 million, a decrease of $7.4 million or 15.3% from the $48.3 million reported for the six months ended July 31, 2007. Field margins were $10.2 million or 24.9% of revenues in fiscal 2009 as compared to $13.3 million or 27.5% in fiscal 2008. The drop in the field margin percentage is largely attributable to projected increased costs of approximately $0.7 million for the contract noted above. The company reported a net after-tax loss of $(1.9) million, or $(0.09) per diluted share for the six months ended July 31, 2008, compared with net income of $0.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share for the six months ended July 31, 2007. Earnings for the period were adversely impacted by the lower than anticipated revenues generated in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the contract adjustment mentioned above, and an increase in bad debt expense of $0.45 million noted above. EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) was a negative $(0.9) million for the first six months of fiscal 2009 versus a positive EBITDA of $3.0 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2008. Other direct and SG&A costs increased $0.6 million from the first six months of fiscal 2008 due to increased bad debt expense, marketing and re-branding costs incurred in the first quarter of this fiscal year, and non-cash stock option expense. For the six months ended July 31, 2008, FlagshipPDG recorded non-cash accounting costs of $0.5 million related to its July 2005 private placement as compared to $0.4 million the comparable period last year.

“The second quarter profitability was impacted by the settlement of older claims as well as a contract cost adjustment on a large asbestos abatement contract. Excluding those items we would have achieved a field margin percentage at our expected levels of approximately 27%. While the second quarter revenues have increased over 31% from the first quarter, we are still seeing softness in the top line due largely to less planned reconstruction work throughout the country. During the quarter ended July 31, 2008, we responded to the floods in the mid-west and also Hurricane Dolly in Southeast Texas. We are currently responding to damage caused by Hurricane Gustav in Louisiana and are mobilizing for Hurricane Ike. At July 31, 2008, the backlog has decreased a bit from previous quarter levels but still remains strong at about $47 million and we expect that the active hurricane season will have a positive impact on the backlog and revenue levels going forward. We have and will continue to trim overhead costs where appropriate with our goal continuing to be to turn the corner on profitability.” said John C. Regan, chairman and chief executive officer of FlagshipPDG.

The company makes use of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) as a financial measure which it believes is a useful performance indicator. EBITDA is not a recognized term under generally accepted accounting principles, or “GAAP,” and should not be considered as an alternative to net income/(loss) or net cash provided by operating activities, which are GAAP measures. A reconciliation of EBITDA to net income/(loss) appears at the end of this release as actual results for the quarter.
