SERVIDYNE, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Servidyne, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the Company) was organized under Delaware law in
1960. In 1984, the Company changed its state of incorporation from Delaware to Georgia. The
Companys Building Performance Efficiency (BPE) Segment provides comprehensive energy efficiency
solutions, sustainability programs, and other building performance-enhancing products and services
to owners and operators of existing buildings. The Companys Real Estate Segment engages in
commercial real estate investment and development.
NOTE 2. UNAUDITED STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the
Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have been condensed
or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the
accompanying disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the
opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of
normal recurring accruals that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim
periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended April 30, 2009. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of annual results.
Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events through September 14, 2009, which represents the date the
condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, and made the
determination that, other than the subsequent event described in Note
10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, no events
occurred subsequent to July 31, 2009, that would require disclosure in this Form 10-Q or would be
required to be recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Restatement of Previously Issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Subsequent to the issuance of the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended October 31,
2008, the Company determined that interest income and certain components of other income were not
presented in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Regulation S-X, Article
5, Rule 5-03, Income Statement. In the interim period for the quarter ended July 31, 2008, the
Company included interest income and certain components of other income in the determination of
total revenues. The Company has revised its presentation of interest income and certain components
of other income to other (income) and expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of
operations. Prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated statement of operations, as well as
in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, where affected, have been restated
to conform to this new presentation. The Company does not believe that this restatement is
material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
5
Reclassification of Previously Issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company previously included interest expense together with cost of revenues and selling,
general and administrative expenses in the determination of total operating expenses. The Company
has reclassified interest expense to other (income) and expenses in the condensed consolidated
statement of operations for the quarter ended July 31, 2008, to conform to this new presentation.
NOTE 3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) unanimously voted for the FASB
Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification) to be effective for interim and annual
periods ending after September 15, 2009. Other than resolving certain minor inconsistencies in
current U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Codification is not meant to
change GAAP, but is intended to make it easier to find and research GAAP applicable to particular
transactions or specific accounting issues. The Codification is a new structure that organizes
existing accounting pronouncements into approximately 90 accounting topics. Once approved, the
Codification will be the single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP. All guidance included in the
Codification will be considered authoritative at that time, even guidance that comes from what is
currently deemed to be a non-authoritative section of a standard. Once the Codification becomes
effective, all non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification
will become non-authoritative. The Company plans to adopt the Codification in the second quarter of
fiscal 2010.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification
(Codification) and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS 168), which
replaces SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS 162).
SFAS 168 establishes the Codification as the single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by
the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. SEC rules and interpretive releases are also
sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS 168 modifies the GAAP hierarchy to include
only two levels of GAAP: authoritative and non-authoritative. SFAS 168 will be effective for
interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company will adjust historical
GAAP references beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 to reflect the accounting guidance
references included in the Codification. As SFAS 168 is not intended to change or alter existing
GAAP, it will not have an impact on the determination or reporting of the Companys financial
results.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (SFAS 165). SFAS 165 modifies the
names of the two types of subsequent events and, for public entities, modifies the definition of
subsequent events to refer to events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but
before the financial statements are issued. Also, SFAS 165 requires that entities disclose the
date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and the basis for that date. SFAS 165 was
effective for all interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted SFAS
165 in the first quarter of fiscal 2010.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and
Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2). This FSP amends
the other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make the guidance more
operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments in
the financial statements. The most significant change the FSP brings is a revision to the amount of
other-than-temporary loss of a debt security recorded in earnings. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 was
effective
6
for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted this FSP
in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The Company has determined that adoption did not have a
significant impact on the determination or reporting of the Companys financial results.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB No. 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments (FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1). This FSP requires disclosure about
the fair value of financial instruments for publicly traded companies in interim reporting periods,
as well as in annual reporting periods. The Company adopted the provisions of FSP SFAS 107-1 and
APB 28-1 in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. See Note 11 for fair value disclosure of the
Companys financial instruments.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS
141(R)), which replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS 141(R) retains the underlying
concepts of SFAS 141 in that all business combinations are still required to be accounted for at
fair value under the acquisition method of accounting, but SFAS 141(R) changed the method of
applying the acquisition method in a number of significant aspects. Acquisition costs will
generally be expensed as incurred; non-controlling interests will be valued at fair value at the
acquisition date; in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an
indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date; restructuring costs associated with a
business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and changes in
deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date
generally will affect income tax expense. SFAS 141(R) was effective on a prospective basis for all
business combinations for which the acquisition date occurred on or after the beginning of the
first annual period subsequent to December 15, 2008, with the exception of the accounting for
valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies. SFAS 141(R) amends SFAS 109
such that adjustments made to valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies
associated with acquisitions that closed prior to the effective date of SFAS 141(R) would also
apply the provisions of SFAS 141(R). The Company has determined that the adoption of this
statement did not have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of the Companys
financial results.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP 142-3, Determining the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (FSP
142-3). FSP 142-3 was designed to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized
intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142), and the
period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141
(revised 2007), Business Combinations, and other guidance under GAAP. The Company adopted FSP
142-3 in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The Company has determined that adoption of this FSP
did not have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of the Companys financial
results.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies where other accounting
pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements; it does not require any new fair value
measurements under GAAP. The effects of adoption are determined by the types of instruments
carried at fair value in the Companys financial statements at the time of adoption, as well as the
method utilized to determine their fair values prior to adoption. SFAS 157 was effective for
financial assets and liabilities on May 1, 2008, and it was effective for non-financial assets and
liabilities, including assets measured at fair value due to impairments, on May 1, 2009. The
Company has determined that this statement did not have a significant impact on the determination
or reporting of the Companys financial results.

NOTE 4. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has three (3) outstanding types of equity-based incentive compensation instruments in
effect with employees, non-employee directors and certain outside service providers: stock
options, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock. These equity-based instruments have been
granted under the terms of the Companys 2000 Stock Award Plan (the 2000 Award Plan). The total
number of shares that can be granted under the 2000 Award Plan is 1,155,000 shares. The Company
typically uses authorized, unissued shares to provide shares for these equity-based instruments.
For the quarter ended July 31, 2009, total equity-based compensation expenses were $50,297, and the
related income tax benefits were $18,908. Comparatively, for the quarter ended July 31, 2008,
total equity-based compensation expenses were $48,843, and the related income tax benefits were
$18,559. All of these expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the
condensed consolidated statements of operations. At July 31, 2009, there were total unrecognized
equity-based compensation expenses of $262,736 that are expected to be recognized over a weighted
average period of approximately 1.8 years.

The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option award on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The risk-free interest rate utilized in the Black-Scholes
calculation is the interest rate of the U.S. Treasury Bill having the same maturity period as the
expected life of the stock option awards. The expected life of the stock options granted is based
on the estimated holding period of the awarded stock options. The expected volatility of the stock
options granted is based on the historical volatility of the Companys stock over the preceding
five-year period using the month-end closing stock price.
Compensation expenses related to the vesting of options for the quarters ended July 31, 2009, and
July 31, 2008, were $7,979 and $1,688, respectively, and the related income tax benefits were
$3,055 and $641, respectively.

All SARs have a five-year vesting period. Typically, thirty percent (30%) of the SARs will
vest on the third (3rd) year anniversary of the date of grant, thirty percent (30%) will vest on the
fourth (4th) year anniversary of the date of grant, and forty percent (40%) will vest on
the fifth (5th) year anniversary of the date of grant. All SARs have early vesting
provisions by which one hundred percent (100%) of the SARs would vest immediately (1) on the date
of a change in control of the Company; or (2) if the Companys stock price were to close at or
above a certain price for ten (10) consecutive trading days. For SARs granted prior to the stock
dividend that occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the triggering price is $19.05 per share. For SARs granted subsequent to the stock dividend that occurred in the first quarter of
9
fiscal 2009, the triggering price is $20.00 per share. The maximum contractual term of all SARs is
ten (10) years. As of July 31, 2009, none of the outstanding SARs, vested or non-vested, were in
the money.

were unrecognized compensation expenses totaling $5,382 related to grants of shares of restricted
stock, which the Company expects to be recognized over the ensuing year. Compensation expenses

compensation and costs related to the Companys status as a publicly-held company, which
include, among other items, legal fees, compliance costs, non-employee directors fees,
and other reporting costs. The corporate headquarters activities do not earn revenue.
All relevant costs related to the business operations of the Companys operating segments
are either paid directly by the respective operating segments or are allocated to the
segments by the Parent. The allocation method is dependent on the nature of each expense
item. Allocated expenses include, among other items, accounting services, information
technology services, insurance costs, and audit and tax preparation fees. |
NOTE 7. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average
shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed
giving effect to dilutive stock equivalents resulting from outstanding stock options, restricted stock and
stock appreciation rights. The potential dilutive effect on the number of common shares for the
first three (3) months of fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009 was 0 shares and 203,278 shares,
respectively. Because the Company had a loss from continuing operations for the quarter ended July
31, 2009, as well as for the quarter ended July 31, 2008, all stock equivalents were anti-dilutive
during these periods, and therefore, are excluded when determining the diluted weighted average
number of shares outstanding.

The Company performed the annual impairment analysis of goodwill and indefinite-lived
intangible assets for the BPE Segment in the quarter ended January 31, 2009, as required by SFAS
142. The annual analysis resulted in a determination of no impairment. As of July 31, 2009, there
were no indicators of impairment. All of the Companys goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible
assets are assigned to the BPE Segment, which has also been determined to be the reporting unit.
NOTE 9. ACQUISITIONS
Fiscal 2010
There were no acquisitions in the first quarter of fiscal 2010.
Fiscal 2009
On June 6, 2008, Atlantic Lighting & Supply Co., LLC (AL&S LLC), an indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain operating
liabilities of Atlantic Lighting & Supply Co., Inc. (the Seller), for a total consideration,
including the assumption of certain operating liabilities, of approximately $1.5 million (excluding
acquisition costs). The Seller was engaged in the business of distributing energy efficient
lighting products to building owners and operators, and the Company is continuing to conduct this
business. The acquisition was made pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated June 6, 2008,
between the Company, AL&S LLC, the Seller, and the shareholders of the Seller (the Agreement).
The consideration consisted of 17,381 newly-issued shares of the Companys common stock, with a
fair value of $91,250, the payment of approximately $618,000 in cash to the Seller, the payment of
approximately $165,000 in cash to satisfy outstanding debt to two (2) lenders of the Seller, and
the assumption of certain operating liabilities of the Seller that totaled approximately $584,000.
The amounts and types of the consideration were determined through negotiations among the parties.
Pursuant to the Agreement, AL&S LLC acquired substantially all of the assets of the Seller,
including cash, accounts receivable, inventory, personal property and equipment, proprietary
information, intellectual property, and the Sellers right, title, and interest to assigned
contracts. Only certain specified operating liabilities of the Seller were assumed, including
executory obligations under assigned contracts and certain current balance sheet operating
liabilities.
14
During fiscal 2009, subsequent to the quarter ended July 31, 2008, the Company finalized its
allocation of the purchase price. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

The goodwill amount is not subject to amortization. The amounts assigned to all intangible
assets are deductible for tax purposes over a period of fifteen (15) years. The goodwill amount
has been assigned to the BPE Segment.
The following table summarizes what the results of operations of the Company would have been on a
pro forma basis for the first quarter of fiscal 2009, if the acquisition had occurred prior to the
beginning of the period. These results do not purport to represent what the results of operations
for the Company actually would have been or to be indicative of the future results of operations of
the Company (in thousands, except for per share amounts).

NOTE 10. INCOME-PRODUCING PROPERTIES
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the anchor tenant of the Companys owned office building
in Newnan, Georgia, defaulted on its lease obligations, and subsequently vacated its leased space
during the first quarter of fiscal 2010. Accordingly, the Company does not anticipate that this
tenant will make any additional lease payments. In April 2009, the Company offered to transfer its
interest in the property to the mortgage lender to satisfy its repayment obligations under the
loan.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company forwarded the monthly cash flow generated by
the property to the lender as partial monthly debt service payments, and pursuant to certain
provisions of the loan, the lender satisfied the balance of each monthly mortgage payment with
funds the Company had previously set aside in a reserve account held by the lender. As a result,
as of July 31, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all provisions of the mortgage loan, and
the loan was current with the lender.
In August and September 2009, the Company continued to forward the monthly cash flow generated by
the property to the lender as additional partial monthly debt service payments. However, the
lender recently notified the Company that, beginning in August 2009, it has elected not to utilize
the funds in the reserve account to satisfy the remaining balance of the monthly debt service
payments. Therefore, the loan is no longer current with the lender. The lender also advised the
Company that it is in the process of selling the mortgage loan to a third party, and expects this
transaction to close during the Companys second fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2009.
Exculpatory provisions of the mortgage loan limit the Companys liability for repayment to its
interest in the property. The Companys offer to transfer its interest in the property to the
current lender remains outstanding, and the Company also intends to offer to transfer its interest
in the property to any new loan holder, if and when such transaction ultimately occurs.
NOTE 11. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amounts of the Companys cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts
receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities.
As of July 31, 2009, the Company had the following assets and liabilities that represent financial
instruments: a certificate of deposit (CD), mortgage notes payable, and other long-term debt.
The CD, which had a balance of $450,000 as of July 31, 2009, is included within Other assets in
the Companys condensed consolidated balance sheet. This CD secures a letter of credit, which is
required by the terms of the mortgage on one of the Companys owned office buildings. Based on the
rates currently available on certificates of deposit with similar terms, the CDs carrying amount
approximates its fair value as of July 31, 2009.
Based on the borrowing rates currently available for mortgage notes with similar terms and average
maturities, the fair value of mortgage notes payable was $16,739,118 as of July 31, 2009. Based on
the borrowing rates currently available for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities,
the fair value of other long-term debt was $1,013,780 as of July 31, 2009.
NOTE 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is subject to legal proceedings and other claims that arise from time to time in the
ordinary course of business. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with
certainty, the Company believes that the final outcome of any such matters would not have a
material adverse effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
16
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial
statements, including the notes to those statements, which are presented elsewhere in this report.
The Company also recommends that this discussion and analysis be read in conjunction with
managements discussion and analysis section and the consolidated financial statements included in
the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2009.
The following discussion has been updated to reflect the restatements and the reclassification
discussed in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Companys fiscal year 2010 will end on April 30, 2010.
The Company expects the BPE Segment to be cash flow positive by the end of fiscal 2010, with
revenues continuing to grow. Although BPE backlog at July 31, 2009, increased by 26% from the
backlog at July 31, 2008, revenues exceeded new orders during the quarter ended July 31, 2009,
resulting in a decrease of 17% from the backlog at April 30, 2009. The Company anticipates strong
growth from the government sector to support revenue growth over a longer time horizon, in addition
to multi-year programs that have already begun with large customers in the private sector. The
Company offers the government sector many of the same offerings provided to private sector
customers, including energy savings projects and other energy efficiency-focused products and
services, usually by acting as a subcontractor to large energy services company (ESCO) partners
to provide services to end-user government agency facilities. Through this channel, the BPE Segment
provides services to a wide range of government facilities, including U.S. military bases, federal
and state prisons, and large public educational facilities and school districts. The Company
believes that future growth in BPEs government business should be underpinned by two (2) recent
U.S. Government actions: in December 2008, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced a
program to fund $80 billion of energy savings performance contracts with sixteen (16) large ESCOs
to improve energy efficiency of government buildings; and in February 2009, President Obama signed
the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which will provide an additional approximately
$75 billion for the performance of energy efficiency projects in government buildings. The Company
has existing business relationships with half of these sixteen (16) selected ESCOs and a long
history of providing these exact types of services for the government sector. The Company believes
that it should be well positioned to perform a significant amount of these funded projects.
While the potential market demand for the BPE Segments offerings appears to be promising, there
can be no assurance that this will result in sustained revenue growth, particularly if recent
macro-economic conditions were to continue, or worsen, for an extended period of time.
The Companys Real Estate Segment is in the business of creating long-term value by periodically
realizing gains through the sale of existing real estate assets, and then redeploying its capital
by reinvesting the proceeds from such sales in new real estate assets or in other segments of the
Company. The Company has historically generated substantial liquidity from such periodic sales of
its real estate assets held for investment. However, the current real estate portfolio consists of
a limited number of properties, and given recent declines in commercial real estate values in the
United States, the Company may be unable to sell any of its real estate assets, at acceptable
prices or at all, in the near future.
17
The loss from operations during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 resulted in significant usage of
the Companys cash. However, the Company believes that it has, or can obtain, sufficient capital
resources to operate its business in the ordinary course until the BPE Segment begins to generate
sufficient cash flow from operations. There can be no guarantee that this will be the case,
however, particularly if recent macro-economic conditions continue, or worsen, for an extended
period of time. See Liquidity and capital resources for more information.
Results of operations of the first quarter of fiscal 2010, compared to the first quarter of
fiscal 2009.
In the following charts, changes in revenues, cost of revenues, selling, general and administrative
expenses, and loss from continuing operations before income taxes from period to period are
analyzed on a segment basis, net of intersegment eliminations. For net earnings and similar profit
information on a consolidated basis, please refer to the Companys condensed consolidated financial
statements. For net earnings presented by segment before intercompany eliminations, refer to Note
6 Operating Segments to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
REVENUES
From Continuing Operations
For the first quarter of fiscal 2010, consolidated revenues from continuing operations, net of
inter-segment eliminations, were $4,629,203 compared to $3,524,537 for the first quarter of fiscal
2009, an increase of approximately 31%.

BPE Segment revenues increased by approximately $1,153,000, or 42%, in the first quarter
of fiscal 2010 compared to the same period in fiscal 2009, primarily due to: |
|
(a) |
|
an increase in energy savings (lighting and mechanical) project revenues
of approximately $1,066,000; and |
|
|
(b) |
|
an increase in lighting product revenues of approximately $198,000
generated by the Companys lighting distribution business that was acquired in June
2009, as the lighting distribution business was operated by the Company for the
entire first quarter of fiscal 2010, whereas it was operated by the Company for only
a portion of the first quarter of fiscal 2009. |
(2) |
|
Real Estate Segment revenues decreased by $48,000, or 6%, in the first quarter of fiscal
2010 compared to the same period in fiscal 2009, primarily due to a one-time early lease
termination payment received in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. |

BPE backlog at July 31, 2009, increased by approximately $1,698,000, or 26%, compared to
the year-earlier period, primarily due to: |
|
(a) |
|
an increase of approximately $2,994,000 in energy savings (lighting and
mechanical) projects; partially offset by: |
|
(b) |
|
a decrease of approximately $178,000 in productivity software products
and services; and |
|
|
(c) |
|
a decrease of approximately $1,118,000 in energy management consulting
services, primarily as a result of the successful completion of approximately
$800,000 of multi-year consulting services projects. |
|
|
The Company estimates that a substantial majority of the BPE backlog at July 31, 2009, will
be recognized prior to July 31, 2010.

BPE backlog includes some contracts that can be cancelled by customers with less than one (1)
years notice, and assumes that such cancellation provisions will not be invoked. The value
of such contracts included in the prior years backlog that were subsequently cancelled was
approximately $104,000, or 1.6%.

Real Estate backlog at July 31, 2009, decreased by approximately $415,000 compared to the
year-earlier period, primarily due to a decrease in rental revenues at the Companys owned
office building located in Newnan, Georgia, due to the anchor tenants default (see Note 10
to the condensed consolidated financial statements). |

NOTES TO CHART D
(1) |
|
BPE Segment loss before income taxes decreased by approximately $329,000, or 73%, in the
first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the same period in fiscal 2009, primarily due to an
increase in revenues of approximately $1,153,000 (see Chart A), an increase in gross margin
of approximately $281,000, and a decrease in SG&A expenses of
approximately $49,000 (see
Chart C). |
|
(2) |
|
Real Estate Segment loss before income taxes increased by
approximately $104,000 in the
first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the same period in fiscal 2009, primarily due to a
decrease in revenues of approximately $48,000 (see Chart A), an increase in cost of revenues
of approximately $34,000 (see Chart B), a decrease in SG&A
expenses of approximately $9,000
(see Chart C), a decrease in interest expense of approximately $12,000, and a decrease in
interest and other income of approximately $42,000. |
|
(3) |
|
Parent loss before income taxes increased by approximately $48,000 in the first quarter of
fiscal 2010 compared to the same period in fiscal 2009, due to an increase in SG&A expenses
of approximately $41,000 (see Chart C) and a decrease in interest and other income of
approximately $7,000. |
INCOME TAX BENEFIT
The Companys effective rate for income taxes, based upon estimated annual income tax rates,
approximated 40.9% of the loss from continuing operations before income taxes for the first
quarter of fiscal 2010 and 38.2% for the comparable period in fiscal year 2009.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Between April 30, 2009, and July 31, 2009, working capital decreased by $1,286,297, or 18%, and
cash decreased by $1,496,823, or 31%.
The following describes the changes in the Companys cash from April 30, 2009, to July 31, 2009:
Operating activities used cash of approximately $1,071,000, primarily as a result of:
|
(a) |
|
current year losses from continuing operations before depreciation,
amortization and income taxes of approximately $850,000; |
|
|
(b) |
|
an increase in other current and long-term assets of approximately $332,000, due
primarily to an increase in accrued revenues on energy management projects; and. |
|
|
(c) |
|
a net decrease in trade accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other
liabilities of approximately $217,000, due to the timing and submission of payments; |
partially offset by:
|
(d) |
|
an increase in billings in excess of costs and earnings of approximately
$716,000; partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable (net of changes in
the provision for doubtful accounts) of approximately $173,000 and an increase in
costs and earnings in excess of billings of approximately $289,000. These changes
are primarily as a result of the timing of billings and receipt of payments. |
23
Investing activities used cash of approximately $157,000, primarily as a result of:
|
(a) |
|
approximately $129,000 used for additions to income-producing properties
related to building improvements; and |
|
|
(b) |
|
approximately $66,000 used for additions to intangible assets, primarily
related to the development of enhancements to the BPE Segments proprietary building
productivity software solutions; |
partially offset by:
|
(c) |
|
approximately $57,000 provided by the release of restricted cash
previously held in escrow. |
Financing activities used cash of approximately $268,000 primarily for:
|
(a) |
|
payment of the regular quarterly cash dividends to shareholders of
approximately $75,000; |
|
|
(b) |
|
scheduled principal payments on real estate mortgage notes of
approximately $93,000; and |
|
|
(c) |
|
scheduled principal payments on other long-term debt of approximately
$100,000. |
Cash usage during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was primarily due to current losses from
operations. The Company believes that it has, or can obtain, sufficient capital resources to
operate its business in the ordinary course until the BPE Segment begins to generate sufficient
cash flow from operations, although there can be no guarantee that this will be the case,
particularly if recent macro-economic conditions continue, or worsen, for an extended period of
time.
The Company has historically generated substantial liquidity from the periodic sales of real estate
assets. As a result, the current real estate portfolio consists of a limited number of properties.
Given the recent decline in commercial real estate values in the United States, the Company may be
unable to sell any of its real estate assets in the near future at acceptable prices, or at all.
The Company in recent years has not utilized bank lines of credit for operating purposes and does
not currently have in place any such lines of credit. The Company does have the ability, however,
to receive approximately $1,000,000 in loans against its interest in the cash surrender value of
certain life insurance policies.
The Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures; however, the Company does expect
that capital spending in fiscal year 2010 will approximate $500,000, with BPE Segment capital
expenditures approximating $350,000, and the remainder of capital expected to be spent for
replacement of computer hardware and Company vehicles. Other significant uses of cash are
anticipated to be scheduled repayments of the Companys real estate mortgage obligations and the
cash requirements of corporate headquarters. The Companys uses of cash are not expected to change
materially in the near future, with the exception of discretionary Real Estate capital
expenditures, which may increase if significant tenant improvements are needed for new tenant lease
build-outs. This use of cash would be recovered during the terms of the new leases by the
additional rental income.
In the event that currently available cash, cash generated from operations, and funds borrowed
against the Companys interest in life insurance policies were not sufficient to meet future cash
requirements, the Company would need to sell real estate assets, seek external debt financing or
refinancing of existing
24
debt, seek to raise funds through the issuance of equity securities, or
limit growth or curtail operations to levels consistent with the constraints imposed by available
cash and cash flow, or any combination of these options. The Companys ability to secure debt or
equity financing or to sell real estate assets could be limited by economic and financial
conditions at any time, but likely would be severely limited by credit and real estate market
conditions similar to those that have existed in recent fiscal quarters. Management cannot provide
assurance that any reductions in planned expenditures or in operations would be sufficient to cover
potential shortfalls in available cash, or that debt or equity financing or real estate asset sales
would be available on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.
The Company has four (4) mortgage notes on long-term real estate assets and two (2) other long-term
debt obligations. The long-term debt obligations have no financial or non-financial covenants.
The Companys mortgage notes do not contain any financial covenants, with the exception of a
guarantee on one (1) of its real estate mortgage loans that requires a Company subsidiary to
maintain a net worth of at least $4 million. The subsidiarys net worth was approximately $15.8
million as of July 31, 2009.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q,
including without limitation, statements containing the words believes, anticipates,
estimates, expects, plans, and words of similar import, are forward-looking statements within
the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements in this report include,
without limitation: the Companys expected achievement of positive cash flow for its BPE Segment;
trends in the BPE Segments government business; and expected timing of the recognition as revenue
of current backlog. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other matters which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of the Company to be
materially different from any future results, performance, or uncertainties expressed or implied by
such forward-looking statements. Factors affecting forward-looking statements include, without
limitation, the length and severity of the current economic recession and disruptions in the
capital markets; the ability and timing of the BPE Segment achieving increased sales, positive cash
flows, and profits; the health of the commercial real estate market; the Companys ability to
attract, retain, and motivate key personnel; and the other factors identified under the caption
Risk Factors in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2009, as
updated from time to time in the Companys Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
25
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A critical accounting policy is one which is both important to the portrayal of the Companys
financial position and results of operations, and requires the Company to make estimates and
assumptions in certain circumstances that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements and related notes. In preparing these financial statements, the
Company has made its best estimates and used its best judgments regarding certain amounts included
in the financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. The application of these
accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and the use of assumptions regarding future
uncertainties, and as a result, actual results could differ from those estimates. Management
believes that the Companys most critical accounting policies include:
Revenue Recognition
Revenues derived from implementation, training, support, and base service license fees from
customers accessing the Companys proprietary building productivity software on an application
service provider (ASP) basis are recognized in accordance with the provisions of SEC Staff
Accounting Bulletin 104, Revenue Recognition (SAB 104). For these sources of revenues, the
Company recognizes revenues when all of the following conditions are met: there is persuasive
evidence of an arrangement; service has been provided to the customer; the collection of fees is
probable; and the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed and determinable. The
Companys license arrangements do not include general rights of return. Revenues are recognized
ratably over the contract period, which is typically no longer than twelve (12) months, beginning
on the commencement date of each contract. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in
accounts receivable and in revenue or deferred revenue, depending on the timing of when the revenue
recognition criteria have been met. Additionally, the Company defers such direct costs and
amortizes them over the same time period as the revenue is recognized.
Energy management services are accounted for separately and are recognized as the services are
rendered in accordance with SAB 104. Revenues derived from sales of proprietary building
productivity software solutions (other than ASP solutions) and hardware products are recognized
when the software solutions and products are sold.
Energy savings project revenues are reported on the percentage-of-completion method, using costs
incurred to date in relation to estimated total costs of the contracts to measure the stage of
completion. Original contract prices are adjusted for change orders in the amounts that are
reasonably estimated and in accordance with Statement of Position 81-1, Accounting for Performance
of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts (SOP 81-1). The nature of the change
orders usually involves a change in the scope of the project, for example, a change in the number
or type of units being installed. The price of change orders is based on the specific materials,
labor, and other project costs affected. In accordance with SOP 81-1, paragraph 61, contract
revenue and costs are adjusted to reflect change orders when they are approved by both the Company
and its customer for both scope and price. For a change order that is unpriced; that is, the scope
of the work to be performed is defined, but the adjustment to the contract price is to be
negotiated later, the Company evaluates the particular circumstances of that specific instance in
determining whether to adjust the contract revenue and/or costs related to the change order. For
unpriced change orders, the Company will record revenue in excess of costs related to a change
order on a contract only when the Company deems that the adjustment to the contract price is
probable based on its historical experience with that customer in accordance with SOP 81-1,
paragraph 62. The cumulative effects of changes in estimated total contract costs and revenues
26
(change orders) are recorded in the period in which the facts requiring such revisions become
known, and are accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method. At the time it is
determined that a contract is expected to result in a loss, the entire estimated loss is recorded.
Energy efficient lighting product revenues are recognized when the products are shipped.
The Company leases space in its income-producing properties to tenants, and recognizes minimum base
rentals as revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. The lease term usually begins
when the tenant takes possession of, or controls the physical use of, the leased asset. Generally,
this occurs on the lease commencement date. In determining what constitutes a leased asset, the
Company evaluates whether the Company or the tenant is the owner of the improvements. If the
Company is the owner of the improvements, then the leased asset is the finished space. In such
instances, revenue recognition begins when the tenant takes possession of the finished space,
typically when the improvements are substantially complete. If the Company determines that the
improvements belong to the tenant, then the leased asset is the unimproved space, and any
improvement allowances funded by the Company pursuant to the terms of the lease are treated as
lease incentives that reduce the revenue recognized over the term of the lease. In these
circumstances, the Company begins revenue recognition when the tenant takes possession of the
unimproved space. The Company considers a number of different factors in order to determine who
owns the improvements. These factors include: (1) whether the lease stipulates the terms and
conditions of how an improvement allowance may be spent; (2) whether the tenant or the Company
retains legal title to the improvements; (3) the uniqueness of the improvements; (4) the expected
economic life of the improvements relative to the length of the lease; and (5) who constructs or directs the construction of the improvements.
The determination of who owns the improvements is subject to significant judgment. In making the
determination, the Company considers all of the above factors; however, no one factor is
determinative in reaching a conclusion. Certain leases may also require tenants to pay additional
rental amounts as partial reimbursements for their shares of property operating and common area
expenses, real estate taxes, and insurance costs, which additional rental amounts are recognized
only when earned. In addition, certain retail leases require tenants to pay incremental rental
amounts, which are contingent upon their stores sales. These percentage rents are recognized only
if and when earned and are not recognized on a straight-line basis.
Revenues from the sales of real estate assets are recognized when all of the following has
occurred: (1) the property is transferred from the Company to the buyer; (2) the buyers initial
and continuing investment is adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property; and (3)
the buyer has assumed all future ownership risks of the property. Costs of sales related to sales
of real estate assets are based on the specific property sold. If a portion or unit of a property
is sold, a proportionate share of the total cost of the property is charged to cost of sales.
Long-Lived Assets: Income-Producing Properties, Capitalized Software, and Property and
Equipment
Income-producing properties are stated at historical cost or, if the Company determines that
impairment has occurred, at fair market value, and are depreciated for financial reporting purposes
using the straight-line method over the respective estimated useful lives of the assets.
Significant additions that extend asset lives are capitalized and are depreciated over their
respective estimated useful lives. Normal maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.
Interest and other carrying costs related to real estate assets under active development are
capitalized. Other costs of development and construction of real estate assets are also
capitalized. Capitalization of interest and other carrying costs is discontinued when a development
project is substantially completed or if active development ceases.
27
Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost and are depreciated for financial reporting
purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.
The Companys most significant long-lived assets are income-producing properties held in its Real
Estate Segment. The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Such review takes place on a quarterly basis. The types of events and circumstances that might
indicate impairment in the Real Estate Segment include, but are not limited to, those items listed
in SFAS 144, paragraph 8, as well as other real estate specific factors as follows:
|
|
|
A significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset; |
|
|
|
|
A significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset
is being used or in its physical condition; |
|
|
|
|
A significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that
could affect the value of a long-lived asset, including an adverse action or
assessment by a regulator; |
|
|
|
|
An accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally
expected for the acquisition or construction of a long-lived asset; |
|
|
|
|
A current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating
or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses
associated with the use of a long-lived asset; |
|
|
|
|
A current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset will be sold
or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated
useful life; |
|
|
|
|
The Company has recently sold similar income-producing properties at losses; |
|
|
|
|
The Company has received purchase offers at prices below carrying value; |
|
|
|
|
Income-producing properties that have significant vacancy rates or significant
rollover exposure from one or more tenants; |
|
|
|
|
A major tenant experiencing financial difficulties that may jeopardize the
tenants ability to meet its lease obligations; |
|
|
|
|
Depressed market conditions; |
|
|
|
|
Presence of a new competitive property constructed in the assets market area;
and |
|
|
|
|
Evidence of significant corrective measures required to cure structural problems,
physical obsolescence, or deterioration of essential building components. |
In accordance with paragraph 4 of SFAS 144, the Company has determined that the lowest level of
identifiable cash flows for long-lived assets in its Real Estate Segment is at each of the
individual income-producing properties. Each of these income producing properties operates
independent of one another,
28
and financial information for these properties is recorded on an individual property basis. When
there are indicators of impairment, the recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of the asset against the future net undiscounted cash flows
expected to be generated by the asset. The Company estimates future undiscounted cash flows of the
Real Estate Segment using assumptions regarding occupancy, counter-party creditworthiness, costs of
leasing including tenant improvements and leasing commissions, rental rates and expenses of the
property, as well as the expected holding period and cash to be received from disposition. The
Company has considered all of these factors in its undiscounted cash flows.
The BPE Segment has long-lived assets that consist primarily of capitalized software costs,
classified as intangible assets, net on the balance sheet, as well as a portion of the property and
equipment on the balance sheet. Software development costs are accounted for in accordance with
Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 00-3 that sets forth the accounting of software in a Web
hosting arrangement. As such, the Company follows the guidance set forth in Statement of Position
(SOP) 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use,
in accounting for the development of its on-demand application services. SOP 98-1 requires that
software development costs that are incurred in a preliminary project stage should be expensed as
incurred. Costs that are incurred during the application development stage are capitalized and
reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Capitalization ceases when the
computer software development project, including testing of the computer software, is substantially
complete and the software product is ready for its intended use. Capitalized costs are amortized
on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of the product.
Events or circumstances which would trigger an impairment analysis of these long-lived assets
include:
|
|
|
A change in the estimated remaining useful life of the asset; |
|
|
|
|
A change in the manner in which the asset is used in the income generating

A current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating
or cash flow losses, or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses
associated with the use of a long-lived asset. |
Long-lived assets in the BPE Segment are grouped together for purposes of impairment analysis, as
assets and liabilities of the BPE Segment are not independent of one another. Annually at the end
of the fiscal third quarter, unless events or circumstances occur in the interim as discussed
above, the Company reviews its BPE Segments long-lived assets for impairment. Future undiscounted
cash flows of the segment, as measured in its goodwill impairment analysis, are used to determine
whether impairment of long-lived assets exists in the BPE Segment.
Valuation of Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed for impairment annually at the
end of the fiscal third quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying basis of an asset may not be recoverable, as required in accordance with SFAS No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). All of the Companys goodwill and
indefinite-lived intangible assets are assigned to the BPE Segment, which has also been determined
to be the reporting unit.
29
The Company performed the annual impairment analysis of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible
assets for the BPE Segment in the quarter ended January 31, 2009, as required by SFAS 142. The
annual analysis resulted in a determination of no impairment. As of July 31, 2009, there were no
indicators of impairment.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases and to tax loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on
deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date.
The Company periodically reviews its deferred tax assets (DTA) to assess whether it is more
likely than not that a tax asset will not be realized. The realization of a DTA ultimately depends
on the existence of sufficient taxable income. A valuation allowance is established against a DTA
if there is not sufficient evidence that it will be realized. The Company weighs all available
evidence in order to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that a DTA will be realized in a
future period. The Company considers general economic conditions, market and industry conditions,
as well as internal Company specific conditions, trends, management plans, and other data in making
this determination.
Evidence considered is weighted according to the degree that it can be objectively verified.
Reversals of temporary differences are weighted with more significance than projections of future
earnings of the Company.
Positive evidence considered includes, among others, the following: deferred tax liabilities in
excess of DTA, future reversals of temporary differences, Company historical evidence of not having
DTAs expire prior to utilization, long carryforward period remaining for net operating loss (NOL)
carryforwards, lack of cumulative taxable loss in recent years, taxable income projections that
conclude that NOL carryforwards will be utilized prior to expiration, and evidence of appreciated
real estate holdings planned to be sold prior to expiration of the NOL carryforward period.
Negative evidence considered includes, among others, the fact that the current real estate market
conditions and lack of readily available credit could make it difficult for the Company to trigger
gains on sales of real estate.
The valuation allowance currently recorded against the DTA for state NOL carryforwards was recorded
for certain separate return limitation years. These were years that the separate legal entities
generated tax losses prior to the filing of a consolidated tax return. In order for these losses
to be utilized in the future, the legal entity which generated the losses must generate the taxable
income to offset it. The allowance was recorded as management determined that it was not
more-likely-than-not that these losses would be utilized prior to expiration.
30
The Company will have to generate $7.3 million of pre-tax income in future years to realize the
federal NOL carryforwards and an additional $21.9 million of pre-tax book income in future years to
realize the state NOL carryforwards. This amount of pre-tax book income would allow for the
reversal of the $3.6 million DTA related to NOL carryforwards. There is a long carryforward period
remaining for the NOL carryforwards. The oldest federal NOL carryforwards will expire in the April
30, 2024, tax-year and the most recent federal NOL carryforwards will expire in the April 30, 2028,
tax-year. The significant state NOL carryforwards will also expire between the April 30, 2024, and
April 30, 2028, tax years. The Company has no material permanent book/tax differences.
The Company has no material FIN 48 obligations. The Companys policy is to record interest and
penalties as a component of income tax expense (benefit) in the consolidated statement of
operations.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes in the Companys market risk since April 30, 2009. Refer to
the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2009, for detailed
disclosures about quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management has evaluated the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as defined by Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the
period covered by this report. This evaluation was carried out with the participation of the
Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. No system of controls, no matter
how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the system of
controls are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that the system of
controls has operated effectively in all cases. The Companys disclosure controls and procedures,
however, are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls
and procedures are met.
Based on managements evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of the end of the period
covered by this report, to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls
and procedures were met.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q that materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
