SERVIDYNE, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OCTOBER 31, 2008, AND APRIL 30, 2008
(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 Company’s Building Performance Efficiency (“BPE”) Segment provides energy efficiency solutions, sustainability programs, and other building performance enhancing products and services to companies that own and operate buildings. The Company’s 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 Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2008. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.
NOTE 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Effective May 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for recognizing tax return positions in the financial statements as those which are “more likely than not” to be sustained upon examination by the taxing authority. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting for income tax uncertainties in interim periods, and the level of disclosures associated with any recorded income tax uncertainties. Adoption of this FASB interpretation did not have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of the Company’s financial results.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“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

Table of Contents

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) is effective on a prospective basis for all business combinations for which the acquisition date is 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). Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, that SFAS 141(R) may have on the Company’s financial statements.
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 generally accepted accounting principles (“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. SFAS 157 is effective for the Company on May 1, 2009. The effects of adoption will be determined by the types of instruments carried at fair value in the Company’s financial statements at the time of adoption, as well as the method utilized to determine their fair values prior to adoption. The Company has determined that this statement will not have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of the Company’s financial results.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” SFAS 159 is effective for the Company on May 1, 2009. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This statement also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option is elected will be reported in earnings. The Company has determined that this statement will not have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of the Company’s financial results.
Equity-Based Compensation
The Company has three outstanding types of equity-based incentive compensation instruments in effect with employees, non-employee directors, and selected outside consultants: stock options, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock.
For the second quarter and the first six months ended October 31, 2008, the Company’s net loss includes $49,603 and $98,447, respectively, of total equity-based compensation expenses, and $18,849 and $37,410 , respectively, of related income tax benefits. Comparatively, for the second quarter and the first six months ended October 31, 2007, the Company’s net (loss) earnings include $30,886 and $61,461, respectively, of total equity-based compensation expenses, and $11,736 and $23,355, respectively, of related income tax benefits. All of these expenses were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

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 Company’s stock over the preceding five-year period using the month-end closing stock price. The fair value of the stock options granted in the first six months ended October 31, 2008, was estimated on the respective grant dates using the following weighted average assumptions in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model:
         
Expected life (years)

NOTE 4. RECEIVABLES

NOTE 5. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Sales of Income-Producing Properties
The Company 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. Effective as of fiscal 2003, the Company adopted SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”), which requires, among other things, that the operating results of certain income-producing assets, sold subsequent to fiscal 2002, be included in discontinued operations in the statements of operations for all periods presented. The Company classifies an asset as held for sale when the asset is under a binding sales contract with minimal contingencies, and the buyer is materially at risk if the buyer fails to complete the transaction. However, each potential transaction is evaluated based on its separate facts and circumstances. Pursuant to this standard, as of October 31, 2008, the Company had no income-producing properties that were classified as held for sale.
On December 13, 2007, the Company sold its owned office park located in Marietta, Georgia, and recognized a pre-tax gain on the sale of approximately $2.1 million. On July 31, 2007, the Company sold its leasehold interest in the land and its owned shopping center building located in Columbus, Georgia, and its owned shopping center located in Orange Park, Florida, and recognized a pre-tax gain on the

10


Table of Contents

sales of approximately $1.9 million. As a result of these transactions, the Company’s financial statements have been prepared with the results of operations and cash flows of these sold properties shown as discontinued operations. All historical statements have been restated in accordance with SFAS 144. Summarized financial information for discontinued operations for the second quarter and the first six months ended October 31, 2008, and October 31, 2007, is as follows:

(1)   The Company is in the business of creating long-term value by periodically realizing gains through the sale of income-producing properties and real estate held for future development or sale; therefore, in this presentation the Real Estate Segment’s net earnings include earnings from discontinued operations, pursuant to SFAS 144, that resulted from the sales of certain income-producing properties, and earnings from continuing operations that resulted from the gains on sale of certain other real estate assets.
NOTE 7. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed giving effect to dilutive stock equivalents resulting from outstanding stock options, stock warrants and stock appreciation rights. The dilutive effect on the number of common shares for the first six months of fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008 was 98,137 shares and 287,690 shares, respectively. Because the Company had a loss from continuing operations for the second quarter and the first six months ended October 31, 2008,

12


Table of Contents

as well as for the second quarter and the first six months ended October 31, 2007, all stock equivalents were anti-dilutive during these periods, and therefore, are excluded when determining the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding.
On June 5, 2008, the Company declared a stock dividend of five percent (5%) for all shareholders of record on June 18, 2008; accordingly, on July 1, 2008, the Company distributed 177,708 newly issued shares of stock to those shareholders. Earnings (loss) per share have been adjusted retroactively to include the shares issued and outstanding pursuant to the stock dividend as outstanding for all periods presented.

Fiscal 2009

Table of Contents

There were no dispositions in the first six months of fiscal 2009.
Fiscal 2008
On March 28, 2008, the City of Oakwood, Georgia, acquired in lieu of formal condemnation approximately 1.8 acres of the Company’s undeveloped land located in Oakwood, Georgia, for a price of $860,000, which resulted in a pre-tax gain on the transaction of approximately $581,000. For income tax purposes, the Company treated this transaction as an involuntary conversion under Section 1033 of the Internal Revenue Code, which allows for tax deferral of the gain if the Company acquires a qualified replacement property by no later than April 30, 2011. The Company currently intends to use the net proceeds from this transaction to acquire an income-producing property. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to successfully complete such acquisition.
On December 13, 2007, the Company sold its owned office park located in Marietta, Georgia, for a price of $10.3 million resulting in a pre-tax gain on the sale of approximately $2.085 million. After selling expenses and repayment of the mortgage loan and associated costs, the sale generated cash proceeds of approximately $3.4 million. The Company intended to use the net proceeds from this sale to acquire an income-producing property, which would have qualified the sale under Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 for federal income tax deferral, and therefore placed the proceeds with a qualified third party intermediary in connection therewith. However, the Company did not complete such acquisition, and therefore the proceeds were released from the intermediary to the Company on June 11, 2008.
On July 31, 2007, the Company sold: (1) its leasehold interest in a shopping center in Jacksonville, Florida; (2) its leasehold interest in the land and its owned shopping center building located in Columbus, Georgia; and (3) its owned shopping center located in Orange Park, Florida; for a total combined sales price of $6.8 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain of approximately $3.8 million. After selling expenses, the sales generated net cash proceeds of approximately $6.4 million. In addition, the Company purchased its minority partners’ interests in the Columbus, Georgia, land and shopping center building by utilizing two notes payable totaling $400,000. Both notes were paid off as of July 31, 2008. In accordance with SFAS 144, the sale of the leasehold interest in the shopping center in Jacksonville, Florida, is recorded in rental income on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations, and the sales of its leasehold interest in the land and the owned shopping center building located in Columbus, Georgia, and the owned shopping center located in Orange Park, Florida, are recorded in discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended October 31, 2007.
NOTE 10. ACQUISITIONS
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 liabilities of Atlantic Lighting & Supply Co., Inc. (the “Seller”) for a total consideration, including the assumption of liabilities, of approximately $1.5 million (excluding acquisition costs). The Seller was engaged in the business of distributing energy efficient lighting products to commercial property owners and managers, 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 Company’s 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 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 Seller’s right, title, and interest to assigned contracts. Only certain specified operating liabilities of the Seller were assumed, including executory obligations under assigned contracts and current balance sheet operating liabilities.
During the quarter ended October 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.

NOTES TO CHART A
(1)   BPE Segment revenues decreased by approximately $553,000, or 14%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to the same period in fiscal 2008, primarily due to:
  (a)   energy savings (lighting and mechanical) project revenues which were approximately $1,358,000 lower than in the year-earlier period (although 26% higher than in the immediately preceding first quarter of fiscal 2009 and 57% higher than in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008), primarily due to:
  i.   continuing delays in the receipt of certain orders; however, the Company received $3,163,000 in energy savings project orders during October and November 2008, of which $1,535,000 were included in backlog at October 31, 2008, only a portion of which relates to the previously described delayed orders. Revenues from these projects are expected to commence during the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2009 and continue into fiscal 2010;
      partially offset by:
  ii.   revenues of approximately $348,000 from several new energy savings project customers, representing the initial phases of new energy savings program initiatives for those customers.
      The year-over-year decline in energy savings project revenues was partially offset by:
  (b)   lighting product revenues of approximately $660,000, as a result of the Company’s acquisition during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 of its lighting distribution business; and
 
  (c)   an increase in energy management consulting services revenues of approximately $121,000.
    BPE Segment revenues decreased by approximately $2,600,000, or 30%, in the first six months of fiscal 2009, compared to the same period in fiscal 2008, primarily due to:
  (a)   energy savings (lighting and mechanical) project revenues that were approximately $3,738,000 lower than in the year-earlier period, primarily because of:
  i.   continuing delays in the receipt of certain orders, as described above;
      and
  ii.   the absence of revenues of approximately $1 million that were generated by a one-time special project for a large retail customer during the year-earlier period;
      partially offset by:

19


Table of Contents

  iii.   revenues of approximately $528,000 from several new energy savings project customers, representing the initial phases of new energy savings program initiatives for those customers;
      The year-over-year decline in energy savings project revenues was partially offset by:
  (b)   lighting product revenues of approximately $916,000, as the result of the Company’s acquisition during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 of its lighting distribution business; and
 
  (c)   an increase in productivity software products and services revenues of approximately $222,000.
    While management believes that the decrease in energy savings project revenues is due in part to the general deterioration of the overall economy and its effect on certain of the Company’s customers, order activity has strengthened significantly in recent months, and management believes that the Company is well positioned to continue to grow energy savings project revenues.
(2)   Real Estate Segment revenues decreased by $103,000, or 12%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to the same period in fiscal 2008, primarily as a result of a decrease in rental income of approximately $187,000 due to the expiration of an anchor tenant lease in January 2008 at the Company’s owned headquarters building in Atlanta, Georgia, partially offset by rental income of approximately $36,000 from new tenant leases at the same property, as well as increased rental income at various other properties.
 
    Real Estate Segment revenues decreased by $1,829,000, or 54%, in the first six months of fiscal 2009, compared to the same period in fiscal 2008, primarily due to:
  (a)   the absence of one-time revenues of approximately $1,553,000 generated in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 by the sale of the Company’s leasehold interest in its shopping center in Jacksonville, Florida; and
 
  (b)   a decrease in rental income of approximately $374,000 due to the expiration of the anchor tenant lease in January 2008 at the Company’s owned headquarters building in Atlanta, Georgia;
      partially offset by:
  (c)   approximately $53,000 as the result of an early lease termination payment in the first quarter of fiscal 2009;
 
      and
  (d)   an increase in rental income of approximately $57,000 from new tenant leases at the Company’s owned headquarters building.
The following table indicates the backlog of contracts and rental income, by segment.

(1)   BPE backlog at October 31, 2008, increased by approximately $239,000 compared to the year-earlier period, primarily due to:
  (a)   an increase of approximately $627,000 in energy savings projects; and
 
  (b)   an increase of approximately $171,000 in productivity software products and services;
      partially offset by:
  (c)   a decrease of approximately $559,000 in energy management consulting services, as a result of the successful completion of approximately $750,000 of multi-year consulting services projects, partially offset by approximately $191,000 in new consulting services contracts.
    The Company estimates that the BPE backlog at October 31, 2008, will be recognized prior to October 31, 2009, with the exception of approximately $245,000 in energy management consulting services from multi-year contracts with terms that extend longer than one year.
    BPE backlog includes some contracts that can be cancelled by customers with less than one year’s notice, and assumes such cancellation provisions will not be invoked. The amount of such cancelled contracts included in the prior year’s backlog was approximately $138,000, or 2.0%.
(2)   Real Estate backlog at October 31, 2008, decreased by approximately $54,000 compared to the year-earlier period, primarily due to a decrease of approximately $47,000 as a result of the reduction in leased office space at the Company’s owned headquarters building in Atlanta, Georgia.
(3)   Represents rental income at the Company’s headquarters building to be paid to the Real Estate Segment by the Parent Company and the BPE Segment.

NOTES TO CHART B
 
(1)   BPE Segment costs and expenses decreased by approximately $592,000 , or 21%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, and by approximately $2,026,000, or 34%, in the first six months of fiscal 2009, compared to the same periods in fiscal 2008, primarily due to:
  (a)   the corresponding decrease in revenues (See Chart A);
      partially offset by:
  (b)   an increase in costs of approximately $479,000 and $627,000 in the second quarter and the first six months of fiscal 2009, respectively, as a result of the Company’s acquisition of its lighting distribution business during the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
    On a percentage-of-revenues basis, BPE Segment costs and expenses decreased by 6% and 4%, respectively, in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009, compared to the same periods in fiscal 2008, primarily due to a change in the mix of services and products.
(2)   Real Estate Segment costs and expenses increased by approximately $55,000, or 11%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to the same period in fiscal 2008, primarily due to:
  (a)   an increase in rental operating costs of approximately $100,000, primarily as the result of higher real estate taxes and property maintenance and repair expenses, a portion of which are reimbursable by the tenants, and legal fees;
      partially offset by:
  (b)   a decrease in rental operating costs of approximately $45,000 primarily due to lower tenant occupancy at the Company’s owned headquarters building in Atlanta, Georgia.
    Real Estate Segment costs and expenses decreased by approximately $121,000, or 10%, for the first six months of fiscal 2009, compared to the same period in fiscal 2008, primarily due to:

22


Table of Contents

  (a)   the absence of one-time leaseback and sales costs of approximately $147,000 that were included in the prior year as a result of the sale of the Company’s leasehold interest in a shopping center located in Jacksonville, Florida, in July 2007;
 
  (b)   a decrease in rental operating costs of approximately $79,000 primarily due to lower tenant occupancy at the Company’s owned headquarters building in Atlanta, Georgia;
      partially offset by:
  (c)   an increase in rental operating costs of approximately $105,000, primarily as the result of higher real estate taxes and property maintenance and repair expenses, a portion of which are reimbursable by the tenants, and legal fees;
    On a percentage-of-revenues basis, Real Estate Segment costs and expenses increased by 15% and 32% in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009, respectively. The increase in the second quarter compared to the prior year period was primarily due to higher legal fees, maintenance and landscaping costs, and additional depreciation, as mentioned above. The increase in the first six months compared to the prior year period was primarily due to the inclusion of one-time revenues of $1,553,000 in the prior year that were generated by the sale of the Company’s leasehold interest in a shopping center located in Jacksonville, Florida, in July 2007; the costs of the sale were approximately $95,000.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
From Continuing Operations

    On a percentage-of-revenues basis, BPE SG&A expenses increased by 13% and 19% in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods of fiscal 2008, primarily due to the decrease in revenues without a corresponding decrease in expenses (See Chart A).
 
(2)   Real Estate SG&A expenses decreased by approximately $10,000 and $24,000 in the second quarter and the first six months of fiscal 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods in fiscal 2008, primarily due to a decrease in personnel and consulting costs.
 
    On a percentage-of-revenues basis, Real Estate SG&A expenses increased by approximately 11% in the first six months of fiscal 2009, compared to the same period in fiscal 2008, primarily due to the inclusion of one-time revenues of $1,553,000 in the prior year that were generated by the sale of the Company’s leasehold interest in a shopping center located in Jacksonville, Florida, in July 2007.
 
(3)   Parent SG&A expenses increased by approximately $566,000, or 161%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to the same period of fiscal 2008, primarily due to:

The Company partially reduced the incentive compensation expenses accrued in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 pursuant to the terms of the Company’s cash incentive compensation plan. There were no incentive compensation expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2009.
 
  (b)   an increase in legal fees of approximately $99,000 as a result of ongoing efforts to perfect an insurance claim as well as increased Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) compliance costs; and

    On a percentage-of-revenues basis, Parent SG&A expenses increased by 15% and 10% in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods of fiscal 2008, primarily due to the decrease in revenues without a corresponding decrease in expenses (See Chart A).
Liquidity and capital resources
Between April 30, 2008, and October 31, 2008, working capital decreased by approximately $4,675,000, or 34%.

  (a)   current year losses from continuing operations before depreciation, amortization and income taxes of approximately $2,023,000;
 
  (b)   cash payments of approximately $319,000 for incentive compensation expensed in the prior fiscal year as a result of the successful achievement of certain company earnings and performance goals in the prior fiscal year; and
 
  (c)   a net decrease in trade accounts payable, accrued expenses, other liabilities, and billings in excess of costs and earnings of approximately $855,000, due to the timing and submission of payments;
      partially offset by:
  (d)   a decrease in net accounts receivable of $250,000, primarily as a result of the timing of billing and receipt of payments.
Investing activities provided cash of approximately $1,937,000, primarily as a result of:
  (a)   the release to the Company of approximately $3,471,000 in cash previously held in escrow, after the Company elected not to purchase a replacement property to complete a proposed Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 federal tax deferred exchange for the Company’s owned office park located in Marietta, Georgia, which was sold by the Company in fiscal 2008;
      partially offset by:
  (b)   approximately $892,000 for the acquisition of the Company’s energy-efficient lighting distribution business;
 
  (c)   approximately $189,000 for additions to intangible assets, primarily related to the development of enhancements to BPE’s proprietary building productivity software solutions;
 
  (d)   approximately $174,000 for additions to income-producing properties, primarily related to tenant and building improvements;

  (e)   $150,000 for the purchase of a held-to-maturity investment related to the scheduled increase in restricted cash as required by a provision in a Real Estate loan agreement; and
 
  (f)   approximately $130,000 for additions to property and equipment.
Financing activities used cash of approximately $752,000 primarily for:
  (a)   payment of the regular quarterly cash dividends to shareholders of approximately $284,000 ;
 
  (b)   payment in full of a note at maturity of approximately $241,000;
 
  (c)   scheduled principal payments on mortgage notes and other long-term debt of approximately $169,000; and
 
  (d)   repurchases of the 17,295 shares of the Company’s common stock of approximately $58,000.
The Company’s primary source of cash for future operations is expected to be generated from sales of services and products. In addition, the Company has historically generated substantial liquidity from the sale of real estate assets. As a result, the current real estate portfolio consists of a limited number of properties. The Company in recent years has not utilized bank lines of credit for operating purposes and does not currently have in place any such line of credit.
The Company believes that currently available cash and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements and anticipated capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. However, this will substantially depend upon future operating performance (which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions) and financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond the Company’s control.
In the event that currently available cash and cash generated from operations are not sufficient to meet future cash requirements, the Company will need to sell real estate assets, seek external debt financing or refinancing of existing 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 Company’s ability to secure debt or equity financing or to sell real estate assets may be limited by economic and financial conditions at any time, but likely would be severely limited by the credit market conditions that have existed in the fall of 2008. Management cannot provide assurance that any reductions in planned expenditures or in operations would be sufficient to cover shortfalls in available cash or that debt or equity financing or real estate asset sales would be available on terms acceptable to management, if at all.

Critical Accounting Policies
A critical accounting policy is one which is both important to the portrayal of the Company’s 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 Company’s most critical accounting policies include:
Revenue Recognition
Revenues derived from implementation, training, support, and base service license fees from customers accessing the Company’s proprietary building productivity software on an application service provider (ASP) basis follow the provisions of Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104, Revenue Recognition (“SAB 104”). For these sources of revenues, the Company recognizes revenue 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 Company’s license arrangements do not include general rights of return. Revenues are recognized ratably over the contract terms 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. Sales of proprietary building productivity software solutions (other than ASP solutions) and hardware products are recognized when products are sold.
Energy savings and infrastructure upgrade 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 based on the Company’s historical experience. The cumulative effects of changes in estimated total contract costs and revenues (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 term. 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 the 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

27


Table of Contents

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 under 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 evaluate 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 share of property operating and common area expenses, real estate taxes, and insurance, which additional rental amounts are recognized only when earned. In addition, certain leases require retail tenants to pay incremental rental amounts, which are contingent upon their store 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: (a) the property is transferred from the Company to the buyer; (b) the buyer’s initial and continuing investment is adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property; and (c) the buyer has assumed all future ownership risks of the property. Costs of sales related to 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 development or acquisition is charged to cost of sales.
Income-Producing Properties and Property and Equipment
Income-producing properties are stated at historical cost, and are depreciated for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the 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 project is substantially completed or if active development ceases. 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.
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.
Valuation of Goodwill and Other 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. The recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying basis of the asset to the estimated future net discounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is

28


Table of Contents

determined by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the asset’s estimated future net discounted cash flows. Although management believes goodwill is appropriately stated in the condensed consolidated financial statements, future changes in strategy or market conditions could significantly impact these judgments and result in an impairment charge. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying basis or estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell.
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. 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.
Discontinued Operations
The Company adopted SFAS 144, effective in fiscal 2003, which requires, among other things, that the gains and losses from the disposition of certain income-producing real estate assets, and associated liabilities, operating results, and cash flows be reflected as discontinued operations in the financial statements for all periods presented. Although net earnings are not affected, the Company has reclassified results that were previously included in continuing operations as discontinued operations for qualifying dispositions under SFAS 144.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes in the Company’s market risk since April 30, 2008. Refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008, for detailed disclosures about quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk.
ITEM 4 (T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management has evaluated the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, however, are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met.
Based on management’s evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the risk factor set forth below and other information set forth in this report, the reader should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008, which could materially affect the business, financial condition or future operating results of the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial also could materially affect the Company’s business, financial condition and/or operating results.
Current market and economic conditions could impact demand for the Company’s products and services. U.S. and international capital markets have experienced severe volatility, disruptions and failures in recent months, and the U.S. National Bureau of Economic Research has determined the U.S. economy has been in recession since December 2007. The recession could negatively affect the businesses of the Company’s customers and potential customers, and disruptions and failures in the capital markets could adversely affect their ability to raise capital, whether for normal working capital or for capital expenditures. Consequently, customers and potential customers who are capital-constrained, whether due to the recession or deteriorated market conditions, may delay or even cancel certain operating expenses and/or capital expenditures, including BPE products and services. The Company has recently experienced delays in certain anticipated orders for energy savings (lighting and mechanical) projects, which management believes is at least partly due to these factors.
