NOTE
B -
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair
Value Measurements
(SFAS
No. 157).
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring
fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures
about fair value measurements.
Specifically,
this Statement sets forth a definition of fair value, and establishes a
hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques, giving the highest
priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The provisions of SFAS No.
157
are generally required to be applied on a prospective basis, except to certain
financial instruments accounted for under SFAS No. 133, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,
for
which the provisions of SFAS No. 157 should be applied retrospectively. SFAS
No.
157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. The Company is evaluating the effect of this statement, if any, on
its financial position or results of operations.
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
No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits an entity, at specified election dates,
to choose to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair
value. The objective of SFAS No. 159 is to provide entities with the opportunity
to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets
and liabilities differently, without having to apply complex hedge accounting
provisions. SFAS No. 159 is effective for accounting periods beginning
after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of
adopting SFAS No. 159 on the consolidated financial statements.

ACQUISITIONS
TSS/VORTECH
On
January 19, 2007, the Company acquired all of the outstanding membership
interests of TSS/Vortech pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Membership
Interest Purchase Agreement dated July 31, 2006, as amended by the Amendment
to
the Second Amended and Restated Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated
January 16, 2007 (the “Purchase Agreement”). The closing consideration consisted
of (i) $11,000,000 in cash, (ii) the assumption of $154,599 of debt of
TSS/Vortech, (iii) 2,602,813 shares of Fortress common stock, of which 2,534,988
shares were issued to the selling members and 67,825 shares were issued to
Evergreen Capital LLC as partial payment of certain outstanding consulting
fees,
and (iv) $10,000,000 in two convertible promissory notes of $5,000,000 each,
bearing interest at 6%.
All
of
the shares issued to the selling members (2,534,988 shares) were placed into
escrow accounts as follows: 2,461,728 into the General Indemnity escrow to
secure the rights of Fortress under the acquisition and 73,260 shares into
the
Balance Sheet escrow subject to TSS/Vortech delivering $1,000,000 in working
capital. These shares will be released subject to certain conditions under
the
respective agreements. Based on a determination of net working capital at the
acquisition date, the Company has recorded a payable for approximately $200,000,
included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the June 30, 2007
consolidated balance sheet, expected to be paid to the sellers as a purchase
price adjustment. The share price was based upon the average closing price
for
twenty days prior to the public announcement of the purchase.
Shareholders
owning 756,100 shares of Fortress common stock voted against the acquisition
and
requested to receive the pro rata share of cash in the Trust Fund. The Company
remitted approximately $4,342,000 in exchange for these shares.
Upon
consummation of the merger approximately $28.9 million was released from the
trust account to be used by the Company.
Under
the
purchase method of accounting, the preliminary purchase price has been allocated
to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed,
based upon preliminary estimates, which assume that historical cost approximates
fair value of the assets and liabilities of TSS/Vortech. As such, management
estimates that a substantial portion of the excess purchase price will be
allocated to non-amortizable intangible assets. These estimates are subject
to
change upon the finalization of the valuation of certain assets and liabilities
and may be adjusted in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 141,
Business
Combinations.
Management has preliminarily estimated that the transaction will result in
$14.7
million of goodwill that is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
Additionally, management estimated that approximately $20.4 million of the
purchase price is allocable to customer-related intangible assets, which include
non-contractual customer relationships, order backlog, and trade name.
Such intangible assets will be amortized over periods ranging from one to
fifteen years based upon factors such as customer relationships and contract
periods.
We
paid a
premium (i.e., goodwill) over the fair value of the net tangible and
preliminarily identified intangible assets acquired for a number of reasons,
including the following:
·
|
TSS/Vortech
has a broad range of experience, contacts and service offerings in
the
mission critical facility industry. TSS/Vortech has a very experienced
and
committed management team with strong core competencies. TSS has
a
significant number of personnel with security clearances which is
important in the homeland security industry.
|
·
|
Our
belief in TSS/Vortech’s business model and potential for growth,
increasing demand in its industry and its complete service offering
when
compared to other similar companies. In addition TSS/Vortech can
provide a
platform to assist us in managing acquisitions in the
future.
|
·
|
TSS/Vortech
has been building a national business development organization to
expand
beyond its current regional presence.

purchase price paid, including transaction costs of approximately $1.8 million,

INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Successor
— Basic and diluted net loss per share information is presented in accordance
with SFAS No. 128, Earnings
Per Share.
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to
common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during
the
period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss
attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares
outstanding which includes common stock equivalents. The Company’s common
stock equivalents consist of outstanding warrants. For the three and six
months ended June 30, 2007, a total of 15,600,000 common stock equivalents,
were
excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share as their impact would
have been anti-dilutive. In addition, any impact from the conversion of our
convertible notes payable discussed in Note I are excluded from the computation
of earnings per share since their conversion would also be anti-dilutive.

EMPLOYEE STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
On
January 17, 2007, the stockholders of the Company approved the Fortress
International Group, Inc. 2006 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”).
Under the Plan, the Company reserved 2.1 million shares of the Company’s common
stock for issuance to employees and directors through incentive stock options,
or non-qualified stock options or through restricted stock units. Pursuant
to
the Plan, on January 19, 2007 the Company issued of 574,000 shares of restricted
stock with grant date value of $5.44 per share in connection with the
acquisition of TSS. The restricted stock units have a vesting period of
three years.
On
May 1,
2007 the Company issued a total of 86,832 shares of restricted stock with a
grant date value of $5.43 per share to the non-employee members of the Board
of
Directors. These shares were issued as follows:
10
Each
non-employee director was granted 10,000 shares which vest over a two year
period, one third on the grant date, and each one-half of the remaining balance
on the first and second anniversaries of the grant date. A total of 50,000
shares were issued to the non-employee directors under this
arrangement.
Each
of
the two new members of the Board of Directors received a one-time grant of
$100,000 worth of restricted stock which vests over a three year period, with
each one third of the shares vesting on the first, second and third
anniversaries of the grant date. A total of 36,832 shares were issued to the
two
new non-employee directors under this arrangement.
In
addition on May 7, 2007 the Company issue 20,000 shares of restricted stock
with
a grant date value of $5.53 to an employee, these shares have a vesting period
of three years.
We
are
accounting for these grants of restricted stock in accordance with SFAS
No. 123(R), Share
Based Payment,
which
requires that compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions
be
recognized in financial statements. Under the fair value recognition provisions
of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company recognizes stock-based compensation based
upon the fair value of the stock-based awards taking into account the effects
of
the employees expected exercise and post-vesting employment termination
behavior. The Company recognized $263,000 ($.02 per basic and diluted
share) of stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended June
30,
2007, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 the company recognized $465,000
($.04 per basic and diluted share). These amounts are recorded as selling,
general and administrative expense.
NOTE
G - COMMON
STOCK REDEMPTION
Prior
to
the consummation of the acquisition of TSS/Vortech, the Company announced and
implemented a common stock repurchase program under which it may purchase up
to
3,000,000 shares of common stock, currently the Board of Directors has
authorized the repurchase of up to 500,000 shares under this program. For
the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Company paid approximately $688,000
in
cash to redeem 133,775 shares of common stock at an average price of $5.14
per
share. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 the Company has paid approximately
$1,909,000 in cash to redeem 354,775 shares at an average price of $5.38 per
share.
On
January 19, 2007, the Company announced that it would repurchase shares of
those shareholders that voted against the acquisition of TSS and requested
that
their 756,100 shares be redeemed at the then per share trust value of $5.74
per
share (including deferred interest of $0.38 per share). This program was
completed in January 2007.
NOTE
H -
INCOME TAXES
The
Company’s effective tax rates are based upon the effective tax to be applicable
to the full fiscal year. Through June 30, 2007, the Company has incurred
certain tax losses which may be carried back for federal tax purposes resulting
in an income tax recoverable of approximately $840,000.
The
Company recorded income tax expense of $182,316 for the three months ended
June
30, 2007 due primarily to the establishment of a valuation allowance equal
to
the balance of the remaining deferred tax assets. The impact of recording this
valuation allowance also impacted the income tax benefit recorded of $349,325
in
the six months ended June 30, 2007. The June 30, 2007 amount was offset in
part
by income taxes recoverable as a result of being able to carry carrying back
a
portion of the net operating loss to prior years. The Company evaluated its
remaining deferred tax assets (consisting primarily of net operating loss
carryforwards) remaining after carryback and has determined that it is more
likely-than-not at this time that these assets will not be realized and has
established a full valuation allowance for these amounts.
TSS/Vortech
is a limited liability company and incurred no material income taxes prior
to
the acquisition.
Effective
January 1, 2007, the Company was required to adopt FASB Interpretation No.
48,
Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
(FIN
48). FIN 48 prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold of financial
statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to
be
taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on
derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current
and deferred tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties
associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods
and income tax disclosures. Since inception and through January 1, 2007,
the adoption date of this standard, the Company was in essence a “blank check”
company with no substantive operations. The Company files its tax returns as
prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. The
Company’s 2004 through 2006 tax years are still subject to examination by the
IRS. Various state jurisdiction tax years remain open to examination. As a
result, management has concluded that the adoption of this standard had no
material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
11
Management
is in the process of evaluating the various tax positions associated with the
acquisition of TSS/Vortech and is of the opinion that any deferred tax
liabilities that would ultimately result from uncertain tax positions related
to
these entities would be covered by indemnification provisions provided in the
acquisition agreements or would result in an adjustment to goodwill.
NOTE

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES
In
connection with the TSS/Vortech acquisition, the Company entered into two
convertible promissory notes payable (in equal amounts with each the
Company’s
Chief Executive Officer and President ) totaling $10,000,000. The notes bear
interest at six percent per year and have a term of five years. Interest only
is
payable during the first two years of each note with principal payments
commencing on the second anniversary (January 19, 2009) and continuing
throughout the balance of the term of the notes in equal quarterly installments
totaling $833,333. At any time after the sixth month following the closing
of
the acquisition, the notes are convertible into shares of our common stock
at a
conversion price of $7.50 per share. At any time after the sixth month following
the closing of the acquisition, the notes are automatically convertible if
the
average closing price of Fortress common stock for 20 consecutive trading days
equals or exceeds $7.50 per share.
Principal
payments are due on the above notes as follows:

Item
2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Financial Statements
and related Notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We have based these
forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about
future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown
risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results,
levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different
from
any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed
or
implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify
forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,”
“could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,”
“continue,” “intend,” “project,” “goal,” “potential,” “target,” and similar
terms or the negative of such terms. Factors that might cause or contribute
to
such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in “Risk
Factors,” as well as by future decisions by us.
The
terms
“we” and “our” as used throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer to
Fortress International Group, Inc.
and its
consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated.
Company
Overview
We
were
formed in Delaware on December 20, 2004 as a special purpose acquisition
company formed under the name “Fortress America Acquisition Corporation” for the
purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset
acquisition or other business combination, operating businesses in the homeland
security industry.
On
January 19, 2007, we acquired all of the outstanding membership interests
of each of VTC, L.L.C., doing business as Total Site Solutions (“TSS”), and
Vortech, L.L.C. (“Vortech” and, together with TSS, “TSS/Vortech”) and
simultaneously changed our name to Fortress International Group, Inc. (the
“Company”). The closing consideration consisted of (i) $11,000,000 in
cash, (ii) the assumption of $154,599 of debt of TSS/Vortech,
(iii) 3,176,813 shares of our stock, of which 2,534,988 shares were issued
to the selling members, 67,825 shares were issued to Evergreen Capital LLC
as
partial payment of certain outstanding consulting fees and
(iii) $10,000,000 in two convertible, interest-bearing promissory notes of
$5,000,000 each.
We
provide comprehensive services for the planning, design, and development of
mission critical facilities and information infrastructure. We also provide
a
single source solution for highly technical mission-critical facilities such
as
data centers, operation centers, network facilities, server rooms, security
operations centers, communications facilities and the infrastructure systems
that are critical to their function. Our services include technology consulting,
engineering and design management, construction management, system
installations, operations management, and facilities management and
maintenance.
During
the past three years, our revenue growth has been driven mainly by government
spending on homeland security initiatives spurred by the events of
September 11, 2001. These events have also affected businesses, which are
increasing spending on data security and privacy. These homeland security
initiatives include projects that require the hardening, relocation, renovation
and upgrade of mission-critical facilities to protect critical government
information networks and data processing centers against attacks. In addition
to
these factors there are other drivers that cause our market to remain robust.
Legislation such as Sarbanes Oxley compliance for publicly traded companies,
HIPPA laws regarding protection and availability of data for healthcare
organizations and the government’s critical infrastructure protection program
for industries that are vital to our economy have resulted in such companies
having the need to invest to protect their networks, the reliability of those
networks, and maintain their ability to perform transactions that are financial
or informational in nature. With respect to these critical infrastructure
systems, the companies focus on physical security, network security,
redundancies for uninterruptible power supply systems, electrical switch gear,
stand-by power generators, heat rejection and cooling systems, fire protection
systems, monitoring and control systems, and security systems, as well as the
physical environment that houses critical operations. We help our customers
plan
for, prevent or mitigate against the consequences of attacks, power outages
and
natural disasters. We provide our services, directly and indirectly, to both
government customers and private sector customers.
TSS
has
obtained a facility clearance from the United States Department of Defense.
This
clearance enables the companies to access and service restricted government
projects. In addition to the facility clearance, TSS has successfully cleared
over one-third of its employees, allowing them individual access to restricted
projects and facilities. Several additional employees are currently in the
process for clearance.
16
In
the
future, we expect to use enhanced resources to expand geographically through
internal growth initiatives, as well as through potential acquisitions of
specialized mission critical engineering or IT services firms (primarily in
the
United States).
Our
customers include United States government and homeland defense agencies and
private sector businesses that in some cases are the end user of the facility
or
in other cases, such as our major real estate investment trust, or REIT,
customer, Corporate Office Properties Trust, are providing a facility to a
government end user. We categorize contracts where a government agency is the
ultimate end user of the facility as government-related contracts.
Our
revenues are derived from fees for our professional services as well as revenues
earned under construction management contracts and facility management contracts
with varying terms.
We
believe there are high barriers to entry in our sector for new competitors
due
to our specialized technology service offerings we deliver for our customers,
our top secret clearances, and our turnkey suite of deliverables offered. We
compete for business based upon our reputation, past experience, and our
technical engineering knowledge of mission critical facilities and their
infrastructure. We are developing and creating long term relationships with
our
customers because of our excellent reputation in the industry and will continue
to create facility management relationships with our customers that we expect
will provide us with steadier revenue streams to improve the value of our
business.
Contract
Backlog
We
believe a strong indicator of our future performance is our backlog of
uncompleted projects in process or recently awarded. Our backlog represents
contracts that have been awarded that we believe will result in revenue in
the
future. We have broken our backlog into the following three categories: (i)
technology consulting, which represents the value of future revenue under
existing contacts for professional services related to consulting and/or
engineering design contracts; (ii) construction management, which represents
the
value of future revenues for construction projects; and (iii) facility
management, which represents the value of future revenues for providing
recurring maintenance services on our customers’ mission critical facilities,
networks and communication systems.
At
June
30, 2007, our backlog was approximately $55.4 million, compared to approximately
$20.6 million at December 31, 2006. We believe that most of the backlog at
June
30, 2007 will be recognized during the remainder of 2007. The following table
reflects the value of our backlog in the above three categories as of June
30,
2007 and as of December 31, 2006, respectively.

The
pro
forma results of operations shown above are not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations that may have actually occurred had the acquisition taken
place on the dates noted, or the future financial position or operating results
of us or TSS/Vortech.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Revenue
Recognition
Revenues
from contracts other than time and material contracts are recognized on the
percentage of completion method, measured by the percentage of total costs
incurred to date to estimated total costs for each contract. This method is
used
because management considers cost incurred and costs to complete to be the
best
available measure of progress in the contracts. Revenues from time and materials
contracts are recognized as work is performed.
Contract
costs include all direct materials, subcontract and labor costs and those
indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, payroll
taxes and supplies. General and administrative expenses are charged to expense
as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made
in the period in which losses are determined.
19
The
asset, “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted
contracts,” represents revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed. The
liability, “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted
contracts,” represented billings in excess of revenue recognized. As these
long-term contracts extend over one or more years, revisions in cost and profit
estimates during the course of the contract are reflected in the accounting
period in which the facts which require the revisions are
determined.
Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets
Management
has preliminarily estimated that the acquisition of TSS/Vortech will result
in
$14.7 million of goodwill that is expected to be deductible for income tax
purposes. Additionally, management has estimated that approximately $20.4
million of the purchase price is allocable to customer-related intangible
assets, which include non-contractual customer relationships, order backlog,
and
trade name.
Goodwill
arising from our acquisition of TSS/Vortech is not amortized but instead will
be
tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually in
accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(“SFAS”) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. We plan to perform
an impairment assessment annually. Application of the goodwill impairment test
requires significant judgments including estimation of future cash flows, which
is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth,
the period over which cash flows will occur, and determination of the weighted
average cost of capital. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could
materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment
for
each reporting unit.
We
amortize other intangible assets over their estimated useful lives and review
the long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable and at least
annually. Determining whether impairment has occurred typically requires various
estimates and assumptions, including determining which cash flows are directly
related to the potentially impaired asset, the useful life over which cash
flows
will occur, their amount and the asset’s residual value, if any. In turn,
measurement of an impairment loss requires a determination of fair value, which
is based on the best information available
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
We
make
ongoing estimates relating to the collectibility of our accounts receivable
and
maintain an allowance for estimated losses resulting from the inability of
our
customers to make required payments. Estimates used in determining accounts
receivable allowances are based on specific customer account reviews and
historical experience of credit losses. We also apply judgment including
assessments about changes in economic conditions, concentration of receivables
among customers and industries, recent write-off trends, rates of bankruptcy,
and credit quality of specific customers. Unanticipated changes in the financial
condition of customers, the resolution of various disputes, or significant
changes in the economy could impact the reserves required.
Income
Taxes
We
make
judgments and interpretations based on enacted tax laws, published tax guidance,
as well as estimates of future earnings. These judgments and interpretations
affect the provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities
and
the valuation allowance. The deferred tax assets were evaluated under the
guidelines of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and a
determination of the basis of objective factors was made that the net assets
will be realized through future years’ table income. In the event that actual
results differ from these estimates and assessments, additional valuation
allowances may be required.
Results
of Operations for the Successor Company
Three
months ended June 30, 2007 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006
The
following analysis of the Company provides comprehensive information as to
the
results of our operations since our acquisition of TSS/Vortech compared to
our
operations prior to this acquisition when we operated as a special purpose
acquisition company. Following this analysis, we also present a comparison
of
our current results to pro forma results as though the acquisition had occurred
on January 1, 2006.
Revenue
and cost of revenue.
We had
no revenue or cost of revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2006.
For
the three months ended June 30, 2007 we had $10.9 million of revenue and $9.4
million of cost of revenue (including $114,000 of amortization of order
backlog).
20
Gross
margin decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2007 due to margin
erosion of $0.3 million which occurred on contracts with our major customer
as
these contracts were completed.
The
revenue and cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2007 were due
to
our acquisition of TSS/Vortech during the first quarter of 2007.
Selling,
general and administrative expenses.
For the
three months ended June 30, 2007, we incurred $3.4 million of selling, general
and administrative expenses related to operations of TSS/Vortech which were
acquired on January 19, 2007. Our selling, general and administrative
expenses were
$122,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 related primarily to the
pursuit of acquisition candidates.
We
granted employees 574,000 shares of common stock which had a grant date value
of
$5.44 share on January 19, 2007. These shares cliff-vest on January 19, 2010.
In
addition, on May 1, 2007 we granted 106,832 shares of common stock to our
non-employee directors and one employee with a grant date value of $5.43 which
vest over the next three years. We recorded approximately $263,000 of
compensation expense related to these shares in the three months ended June
30,
2007, respectively.
Depreciation
and amortization of intangible assets.
During
the three months ended June 30, 2007, we incurred depreciation and amortization
expense of $664,000 related to assets purchased in our acquisition of
TSS/Vortech.
Prior
to
our acquisition of TSS/Vortech, we did not incur any depreciation or
amortization expense.
Interest
income. Our
interest income was $424,000 earned during the three months ended June 30,
2007
in comparison to $411,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006.
Interest
expense.
For the
three months ended June 30, 2007, interest expense was $150,000. We did not
incur any interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2006. This
interest expense is attributable to the debt acquired with the acquisition
of
TSS/Vortech which consists of notes payable due to the sellers of $10,000,000
that have an interest rate of 6% per annum.
Income
tax benefit (expense). We
recorded an income tax expense of $182,000 for the three months ended June
30,
2007. For the three months ended June 30, 2006 we recorded an income tax expense
of $98,000.
The
amount above for the three months ended June 30, 2007 reflect the value of
a
potential loss carryback to prior periods at the effective federal tax rate
of
34% net of a valuation allowance recorded on the deferred tax assets. The
Company’s effective tax rates are based upon the effective tax to be applicable
to the full fiscal year.
Six
months ended June 30, 2007 compared with the six months ended June 30,
2006
Revenue
and cost of revenue.
We had
no revenue or cost of revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2006. For
the
six months ended June 30, 2007, we had $19.5 million of revenue and $16.6
million of cost of revenue (including $203,000 of amortization of order
backlog).
The
increase in revenue and cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2007
were due to our acquisition of TSS/Vortech during the first quarter of 2007.
Selling,
general and administrative expenses.
For the
six months ended June 30, 2007, we incurred $6.1 million of selling, general
and
administrative expenses related to operations of TSS/Vortech. Our selling,
general and administrative expenses were
$298,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 related primarily to the pursuit
of acquisition candidates.
We
granted employees 574,000 shares of common stock which had a grant date value
of
$5.44 share on January 19, 2007. These shares cliff-vest on January 19, 2010.
In
addition, on May 1, 2007 we granted 106,832 shares of common stock to our
non-employee directors and one employee with a grant date value of $5.43 which
vest over the next three years. We recorded approximately $465,000 of
compensation expense related to these shares in the six months ended June 30,
2007.
21
Depreciation
and amortization of intangible assets.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2007, we incurred depreciation and amortization
expense of $1,160,000 related to assets purchased in our acquisition of
TSS/Vortech. Prior to our acquisition of TSS/Vortech, we did not incur any
depreciation or amortization expense.
Interest
income. For
the
six months ended June 30, 2007, interest income was $640,000 in comparison
to
$772,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Interest income decreased
on a
year to date basis because of the decrease in cash invested due to the purchase
of TSS/Vortech and the related transaction costs.
Interest
expense.
For the
six months ended June 30, 2007, interest expense was $268,000. We did not incur
any interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2006. This interest
expense is attributable to the debt acquired with the acquisition of TSS/Vortech
which consists of notes payable due to the sellers of $10,000,000 that have
an
interest rate of 6% per annum.
Income
tax benefit (expense). For
the
six months ended June 30, 2007, we had an income tax benefit of $349,000 and
for
the six months ended June 30, 2006, income tax expense was
$161,000.
The
amounts above for the six months ended June 30, 2007 reflect the value of a
potential loss carryback to prior periods at the effective federal tax rate
of
34% net of a valuation allowance recorded on the deferred tax assets. The
Company’s effective tax rates are based upon the effective tax to be applicable
to the full fiscal year.
Results
of Operations on a Pro Forma Combined Basis for the Successor Company
The
acquisition of TSS/Vortech was our first business combination and accordingly,
we do not believe a comparison of the results of operations for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006 is very beneficial to our
investors. In order to assist investors in better understanding the changes
in
our business between the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and June
30,
2006, we are presenting in the discussion below pro forma results of operations
for the Company and TSS/Vortech for the three and six months ended June 30,
2007
and June 30, 2006 as if the acquisition of TSS/Vortech occurred on January
1,
2007 and January 1, 2006, respectively. We derived the pro forma results of
operations from (i) the unaudited consolidated financial statements of
TSS/Vortech for the period from December 31, 2006 to January 19, 2007 (the
date
of the acquisition) and the six months ended June 30, 2006, and (ii) our
unaudited consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30,
2007 and June 30, 2006.
The
pro
forma results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations that may have actually occurred had the acquisition taken place
on
the dates noted, or the future financial position or operating results of us
or
TSS/Vortech. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information
and
assumptions that we believe are reasonable.
Three
months ended June 30, 2007 compared with the three months ended June 30,
2006
Revenue
and cost of revenue. We
had
$10.9 million of revenues and $9.4 million of cost of revenue earned in the
three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $18.4 million of revenue and $15.6
million of cost of revenue earned in the three months ended June 30,
2006.
The
decrease in revenue was primarily due to a reduction in construction management
revenue earned on projects for the three months ended June 30, 2007as compared
to the same six month period in 2006.
Management
believes that the decline in revenue when comparing the three months ended
June
30, 2007 to June 30, 2006 results from the fact that we relied heavily in its
first three years of operations on a few long-term contracts from one major
customer. Starting in the last quarter of 2005 and continuing through all of
2006 and 2007, we are implementing a strategy to replace these contracts with
new revenue from a broader base of customers in both the public and the private
sectors. In order to continue a revenue level equal or higher to the revenue
recognized in the first six months of 2006, the Company needed to replace its
backlog at December 31, 2005 of $39.7 million with new sales as the backlog
diminished. New backlog additions for the year 2006 were approximately $41.0
million and our backlog at December 31, 2006 was $20.6 million. As a result,
our
revenue on a quarter to quarter basis for the first six months of 2007 has
declined.
22
Backlog
additions were only $8.0 million in the third quarter and $13.2 million for
the
fourth quarter of 2006, which affected revenue in our first and second quarters
of 2007. New backlog additions increased to $15.2 million in the first quarter
and $44.1 million in the second quarter of 2007. Backlog increased again in
the
second quarter of 2007 by $30.7 million. If we are able to sustain this
increasing trend of closing new business, our revenue per quarter should
increase correspondingly. We believe backlog takes an average of six months
to
be recognized proportionately as revenue on projects utilizing the percentage
of
completion method. Delays in project mobilization may also cause some
inconsistencies in our revenue recognition from quarter to quarter. Our total
backlog at June 30, 2007 was $55.4 million of which a majority of it should
be
recognized as revenue in the third and forth quarters of 2007.
The
cost
of revenues decreased in relation to our reduction in revenue for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. Cost of revenue decreased to $9.4 million
with a gross profit margin of 13.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2007
compared to $15.6 million with a gross profit margin of 15.3% for the three
months ended June 30, 2006.
Gross
profit margin decreased because there are fixed costs included in cost of
revenue which were spread over less revenue. In
addition, there was margin erosion of $0.3 million which occurred on contracts
with our major customer as these contracts were completed.
Revenue
from our largest customer (in 2006) was only $1.1 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2007 compared to $12.3 million for the three months ended June
30, 2006.
The
reduction of revenue from this customer has been replaced with revenue from
new
customers as stated in our diversification strategy. Approximately 10% of our
revenue during the quarter came from this customer compared to 67% in the three
months ended June 30, 2006. Our strategy is to continue to diversify our
customer base and become less reliant on this single customer.
Selling,
general and administrative expenses. Selling,
general and administrative expenses were $3.4 million for the three months
ended
June 30, 2007 compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30,
2006.
The increase as a percentage of revenue increased to 31.5% of revenue from
9.3%
of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
The
increase in these costs is attributable to (i) an increase in the number of
sales and marketing personnel added to the Company to implement our strategic
plan, (ii) marketing expenses to get into the private industry marketplace,
(iii) non cash compensation of restricted stock awards given to key employees,
(iv) the costs associated with being a public company and (v) increased rent
and
occupancy costs as we increased our office space for the technology consulting
group and other support personnel and opened offices in other locations. These
increased additional costs versus the prior year period ending June 30
are:

Depreciation
and amortization of intangible assets. Depreciation
and amortization of intangible assets expense was $664,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2007 compared to $649,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2006. Our depreciation expense increased $15,000 due to the increase in property
and equipment purchased related to the new office space leased in the fourth
quarter of 2006.
Interest

income was $424,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to

for the three months ended June 30, 2006.
Six

Revenue
and cost of revenue. We
had
$19.5 million of revenues and $16.6 million of cost of revenue earned in the
six
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $34.7 million of revenue and $28.9
million of cost of revenue earned in the six months ended June 30, 2006. The
decrease in revenue was primarily due to a reduction in construction management
revenue earned on projects for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared
to
the same six month period in 2006.
23
Management
believes that the decline in revenue when comparing the six months ended June
30, 2007 to June 30, 2006 results from the fact that the Company relied heavily
in its first three years of operations on a few long-term contracts from one
major customer. Starting in the last quarter of 2005 and continuing through
all
of 2006 and 2007 the Company is implementing a strategy to replace these
contracts with new revenue from a broader base of customers in both the public
and the private sectors. In order to continue a revenue level equal or higher
to
the revenue recognized in the first six months of 2006, we needed to replace
its
backlog at December 31, 2005 of $39.7 million with new sales as the backlog
diminished. New backlog additions for the year 2006 were approximately $41.0
million and our backlog at December 31, 2006 was $20.6 million. As a result,
our
revenue on a quarter to quarter basis for the first six months of 2007 has
declined.
Backlog
additions were only $8.0 million in the third quarter and $13.2 million for
the
fourth quarter of 2006, which affected revenue in our first and second quarters
of 2007. New backlog additions increased to $15.2 million in the first quarter
and $44.1 million in the second quarter of 2007. Backlog increased again in
the
second quarter of 2007 by $30.7 million. If the Company is able to sustain
this
increasing trend of closing new business, its revenue per quarter should
increase correspondingly. We believe backlog takes an average of six months
to
be recognized proportionately as revenue on projects utilizing the percentage
of
completion method. Delays in project mobilization may also cause some
inconsistencies in our revenue recognition from quarter to quarter. Our total
backlog at June 30, 2007 was $55.4 million of which a majority of it should
be
recognized as revenue in the third and forth quarters of 2007.
The
cost
of revenues decreased in relation to our reduction in revenue for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
Cost
of
revenue decreased to $17.7 million with a gross profit margin of 15.3% for
the
six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $28.9 million with a gross profit
margin of 16.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Gross
profit margin decreased because there are fixed costs included in cost of
revenue which were spread over less revenue. In
addition, there was margin erosion of $0.3 million which occurred on contracts
with our major customer as these contracts were completed.
Revenue
from our largest customer for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $6.1
million compared to $23.1 million for the six months ended June 30,
2006.
The
reduction of revenue from this customer has been replaced with revenue from
new
customers as stated in our diversification strategy. Approximately 29% and
67%
of our revenue came from this customer in the six months ended June 30, 2007
and
2006, respectively. Our strategy is to continue to diversify our customer base
and become less reliant on this single customer.
Selling,
general and administrative expenses. Selling,
general and administrative expenses were $6.6 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2007 compared to $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
The increase as a percentage of revenue to 31.6% from 10.5% of revenue for
the
six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
The
increase in these costs is attributable to (i) an increase in the number of
sales and marketing personnel added to the Company to implement our strategic
plan, (ii) marketing expenses to get into the private industry marketplace,
(iii) non cash compensation of restricted stock awards given to key employees,
(iv) the costs associated with being a public company and (v) increased rent
and
occupancy costs as we increased our office space for the technology consulting
group and other support personnel and opened offices in other locations. These
increased additional costs versus the prior year period ending June 30

Depreciation
and amortization of intangible assets. Depreciation
and amortization of intangible assets expense was $1,194,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 compared to $1,134,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2006. Our depreciation expense increased $60,000 due to the increase in property
and equipment purchased related to the new office space leased in the fourth
quarter of 2006.

Interest
income. For
the
six months ended June 30, 2007, interest income was $644,000 compared to
$772,000 for six months ending June 30, 2006. Interest income decreased for
the
six month period because of the decrease in cash invested due to the purchase
of
TSS/Vortech and the related transaction costs.
Interest
expense.
Interest
expense was $268,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $276,000
for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Financial
Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Financial
Condition
Total
assets increased $22.5 million to $68.5 million as of June 30, 2007 compared
to
$46.0 million as of December 31, 2006, due to our acquisition of TSS/Vortech
during the first quarter of 2007. At June 30, 2007, we no longer had $44.7
million in short term investments, as we did at December 31, 2006 as a portion
of those funds were used to acquire TSS/Vortech and the remainder was available
to us and recorded as cash. At June 30, 2007 we had $33.1 million in current
assets of which $21.1 million was cash, $9.0 million in contract accounts
receivable and $3.0 million in other current assets.
Our
total
liabilities increased to $19.1 million as of June 30, 2007 from $1.5 million
as
of December 31, 2006, primarily due to the acquisition noted above. Accordingly
our current liabilities increased to $9.0 million at June 30, 2007 from $1.5
million at December 31, 2006.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
During the
six
months ended June 30, 2007 net cash used in operating activities for the period
was $6.3 million. Cash used by operating activities is primarily driven by
the
net loss adjusted for working capital changes which were primarily changes
in
accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and work in process
adjustments.
Net
cash
provided by investing activities was $33.7 million for the six months ended
June
30, 2007. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we had $44.7 million from
the sale of short-term securities, while we invested $11 million toward the
purchase of TSS/Vortech and used $1.3 million used for deferred acquisition
costs and fixed assets. Net cash used by financing activities was $6.3 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2007. This was principally used to repurchase
shares of our common stock associated with the buyout of the dissenting
shareholders and the previously announced share repurchase program.
We
expect
to retain future earnings if any for use in possible expansion of our business
and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
Historically,
we have funded our business activities with cash flow from operations and
borrowings under credit facilities.
Our
primary liquidity needs are to finance the costs of operations, acquire capital
assets and to make selective strategic acquisitions. We expect to meet our
short-term requirements through funds generated from operations. We also intend
on pursuing a credit facility in the future. Our strategic acquisition
cash requirements will also be funded by cash generated from operations and
the
aforementioned credit facility.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
As
of the
six months ended June 30, 2007, we do not have any off balance sheet
arrangements.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No.
157 (SFAS No. 157), Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 provides a new
single authoritative definition of fair value and enhanced guidance for
measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. It requires additional
disclosures related to the extent to which companies measure assets and
liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and
the
effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS No. 157 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating what effect, if any, the
adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on our financial position, results of
operations, or cash flows.
25
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
No.
159). SFAS No. 159 permits an entity, at specified election dates, to
choose to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value.
The objective of SFAS No. 159 is to provide entities with the opportunity to
mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets
and
liabilities differently, without having to apply complex hedge accounting
provisions. SFAS No. 159 is effective for accounting periods beginning
after November 15, 2007. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 159 for the fiscal
year
beginning January 1, 2008 and is currently assessing the impact of adopting
SFAS
No. 159 on the consolidated financial statements.
Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk.
Refer
to
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 for a
complete discussion of our market risk. There have been no material changes
to
the market risk information included in the Annual Report 10-K for the year
December 31, 2006.
Our
management performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the
participation of our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer)
who
is also currently the Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)
of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of June 30, 2007. Based
upon
that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer has concluded that as of June
30,
2007, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Through
December 31, 2006, we had no operations, no full-time personnel and very few
personnel of any kind. Our activities from inception in late 2005 and into
2006
focused on completing our initial public offering, identifying acquisition
candidates and then completing the acquisition of TSS/Vortech. As
of
December 31, 2006, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and
with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer
of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and
procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon
that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures were effective at that time for the purpose of ensuring
that the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the
SEC
under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported
within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive
Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In
January 2007 we acquired TSS/Vortech and re-evaluated our internal control
process during the first quarter of 2007. As a result of this re-evaluation,
we
have determined that our internal control over financial reporting is
ineffective. We
had
neither the resources, nor the personnel, to provide for an adequate internal
control environment. The following material weaknesses in our internal control
over financial reporting were noted at March 31, 2007: (i) we did not have
the
ability to segregate duties; (ii) we lacked the formal documentation of policies
and procedures that were in place; and (iii) we lacked adequate financial
personnel.
We
have
begun to address the internal control weaknesses summarized above beginning
in
the first quarter of 2007, with the goal of eliminating such deficiencies by
the
end of 2007. We
are
working with a certified public accounting firm to serve as our internal
auditors to further enhance our internal control environment and have hired
a
Chief Financial Officer expected to start on August 20, 2007. The
acquisition of TSS/Vortech will require the development of more robust
disclosure controls and procedures, which we are currently developing.
Management
will continue to monitor, evaluate and test the operating effectiveness of
these
controls during the remainder of 2007.
There
were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting for
the
first six months of 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
