Company provides a single source solution for highly technical mission-critical
facilities such as data centers, operations centers, network facilities, server
rooms, security operations centers, communications facilities and the
infrastructure systems that are critical to their function. The Company’s
services consist of technology consulting, design and engineering, construction
management, systems installations and facilities management.
The
Company was incorporated in Delaware on December 20, 2004 under the name
“Fortress America Acquisition Corporation” as a blank check company for the
purpose of acquiring an operating business that performed services to the
homeland security industry.
On
July
20, 2005, we closed our initial public offering (“IPO”) of 7,800,000 units,
including an over-allotment option of 800,000 units, with each unit consisting
of one share of our common stock and two warrants (each to purchase one share
of
common stock at $5.00). Of the total IPO proceeds of $43,183,521, net of
issuance costs, $41,964,000 were placed into a trust fund (“Trust”)
and the remaining $1,219,521 were available to fund operations in the pursuit
of
acquiring a company.
On
January 19, 2007, the Company acquired all of the outstanding interest in
TSS/Vortech in exchange for a combination of cash, the Company’s common stock,
and issuance of two convertible notes (See Note 9). The acquisition
fundamentally transformed the Company from a firm primarily investing capital
to
an operating business. Concurrent with the acquisition, the Company changed
its
name to Fortress International Group, Inc.
After
acquiring TSS/Vortech and during 2007, the Company continued its expansion
through the acquisitions of Comm Site of South Florida, Inc. (“Comm
Site”), Innovative Power Systems, Inc. and Quality Power Systems, Inc.
(“Innovative”) and Rubicon Integration, L.L.C. (“Rubicon”). On January 2, 2008,
the Company acquired SMLB, Ltd. to continue its footprint expansion with
complementary service offerings. As applicable, the Company also acquired these
companies’ operating subsidiaries. The results of operations, cash flows and
financial position attributable to these acquisitions are included in the
consolidated financial statements from the respective dates of their acquisition
(See Note 3). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
May
2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.
163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts” (“SFAS 163”). SFAS
163 requires recognition of a claim liability prior to an event of default
when
there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial
obligation. SFAS 163 clarifies how FAS 60 applies to financial guarantee
insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to
account for premium revenue and claim liabilities and requires expanded
disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. SFAS 163 is
effective January 1, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS
163 to have a material effect on its consolidated results of operations and
financial condition.

NOTES
TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In
May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”). SFAS 162 identifies the
sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles
used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities
that
are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (the
GAAP hierarchy). SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days
following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in
Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The Company does not
expect the adoption of SFAS 162 to have a material effect on its
consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In April
2008, FASB issued a Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the
Useful Life of Intangible Assets,” (“FSP 142-3”) which amends the factors a
Company should consider when developing renewal assumptions used to
determine
the useful life of an intangible asset under SFAS 142. FSP 142-3 replaces
the
previous useful life criteria with a new requirement-that an entity
consider its
own historical experience in renewing similar arrangements. In issuing
FSP
142-3, the FASB hopes to improve the consistency between the useful
life of a
recognized intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used
to
measure the fair value of the asset. FAS 142-3 is effective January
1, 2009. The
Company is currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of
FAS 142-3
may have on its financial statements.
In
March
2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards SFAS
No. 161, “Disclosures
about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 133”,
(“SFAS
No. 161”) which requires additional disclosures about the objectives of the
derivative instruments and hedging activities, the method of accounting
for such
instruments under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and a
tabular disclosure of the effects of such instruments and related hedged
items
on our financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS
No. 161 is effective beginning January 1, 2009. The Company is
currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of SFAS No. 161 may
have on its financial statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling
Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB
No. 51”,
(“SFAS
No. 160”) which changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests.
Minority interests will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and
will
be reported as a component of equity separate from the parent’s equity, and
purchases or sales of equity interests that do not result in a change in
control
will be accounted for as equity transactions. In addition, net income
attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated
net
income on the face of the income statement and, upon a loss of control, the
interest sold, as well as any interest retained, will be recorded at fair
value
with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 160 is effective for
us beginning January 1, 2009 and will apply prospectively, except for the
presentation and disclosure requirements, which will apply retrospectively.
The
Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 160 to have a material effect
on its consolidated results of operation of financial condition.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business
Combination”,
(“SFAS
No. 141R”) which replaces SFAS No. 141. The statement retains the purchase
method of accounting for acquisitions, but requires a number of changes,
including changes in the way assets and liabilities are recognized in the
purchase accounting. It also changes the recognition of assets acquired and
liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, requires the capitalization
of
in-process research and development at fair value, and requires the expensing
of
acquisition-related costs as incurred. SFAS No. 141R is effective for the
Company beginning January 1, 2009 and will apply prospectively to business
combinations completed on or after that date.

Accounts
Receivable
|
During
the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company has recognized
a $0.7
million loss on customer contract. The Company has not recorded any revenue
related to this contract since we were not able to conclude revenue was
reasonably assured. We will recognize revenue based on cash collections related
to this customer. The amount written off was $1,309,000 of which $824,000
will
be recognized upon cash collection and the remaining $485,000 reduced unsecured,
promissory notes payable issued to sellers of SMLB (seller note). The note
reduction was pursuant to the working capital adjustment per terms of the
original purchase agreement. Contract costs totaling $0.7 million were fully
recognized in the three and six months ending June 30, 2008. In the event
the
$1,309,000 receivable is subsequently collected, the Company will recognize
revenue of $824,000 and the seller note will be increased $485,000.
As
of
June 30, 2008, accounts receivable is $1,429,074 due from a customer that the
Company has offered extended payment terms. This amount was recognized as
revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2008. The customer has executed
a
promissory note in the same amount bearing interest at 8% per annum with
payments of interest only due monthly and the balance in full is due on December
15, 2008.

Acquisitions
|
In
2007,
the Company transitioned from a special purpose acquisition company to an
operating entity with its purchase of TSS/Vortech. The Company has continued
its
strategy to build on to the TSS/Vortech operations through acquisitions that
expand geographical reach, add complementary services and access new key
customers for additional selling opportunities. All of the acquisitions have
been accounted for using purchase accounting. The results of operations
attributable to each acquisition are included in the consolidated financial
statements from the date of acquisition. The value of Fortress common stock
issued in connection with the acquisitions was determined based on the five
day
average closing price of Fortress common stock beginning two days before through
two days after the announcement date multiplied by the number of shares
issued.
2008
Acquisition
SMLB,
Ltd.
On
January 2, 2008, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of SMLB,
Ltd., which provides consulting, facility management and equipment integration
services for the mission-critical facilities in the Chicago area. The closing
consideration consisted of (i) $2,094,561 in cash, including acquisition costs
of $151,133 and net of acquired cash of $56,573, subject to certain adjustment
to be determined subsequent to the closing of the acquisition, as provided
in the Purchase Agreement, (ii) 96,896 shares of Fortress common stock valued
at
approximately $500,000, (iii) $500,000 in unsecured promissory notes
bearing interest at 6% per annum, and (iv) additional earn-out amounts up to
a
maximum of $600,000 contingent upon the achievement of certain earnings targets
by SMLB for each of the calendar years 2008-2009.
All
of
the shares issued to the selling members were placed into escrow to secure
the
rights of Fortress under the acquisition. These shares will be released subject
to certain conditions under the agreements twelve months from the acquisition
date. During the second quarter 2008, the unsecured promissory note of $500,000
was reduced to $15,248 based on a working capital adjustment per the purchase
agreement.
The
Company 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 SMLB’s complementary experience, key customer relationships in an
expanded market, and service offerings in the mission-critical facility
industry. The Company recorded goodwill totaling $2.7 million associated with
the SMLB acquisition, which is not expected to be deductible for income tax
purposes.

2007
Acquisitions
Rubicon
Integration, L.L.C.
During
the first quarter of 2008, the Company finalized its purchase price allocation
associated with Rubicon, resulting in an increase in the value of customer
relationship intangibles of $1.0 million and a corresponding decrease in
goodwill.
During
the second quarter of 2008, Rubicon achieved certain 2008 revenue bookings
targets through June 30, 2008, which entitled the sellers under the purchase
agreement to an unsecured promissory note of $0.4 million and resulted in a
corresponding increase in goodwill (see Notes 2 and 9). The Company recorded
goodwill totaling $3.4 million associated with Rubicon transaction, which is
expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
Purchase
Price Allocation
Under
business combination accounting, the purchase price for each of the acquired
companies, Rubicon and SMLB, was allocated to the net tangible and identifiable
intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition
dates. The allocation of the purchase price was based upon valuations performed
for each acquired company. Subject to adjustment associated with working capital
requirements and contingent consideration issuable upon achievement of certain
financial targets, we finalized the Rubicon valuation in the
first quarter of 2008 and SMLB during the second quarter 2008.
The
valuations indicated that the estimated fair value of the assets acquired was
less than the total of the purchase price paid and the liabilities assumed
in
the transactions. As a result, the excess purchase price was assigned to
goodwill for each acquisition. The Company recorded goodwill associated with
its
acquisitions of SMLB and Rubicon totaling $6.1 million of which $3.4 million
is
expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
Tangible
and Other Intangible Long-Lived Assets
In
performing the purchase price allocation for each acquired company, the Company
considered, among other factors, the intention for future use of acquired
assets, analysis of historical financial performance and estimates of future
performance of each acquired company’s products. The fair value of assets was
based, in part, on a valuation using either a cost, income, or in some cases,
market valuation approach and estimates and assumptions provided by management.
The tangible assets primarily include personal property such as computers,
software and service vehicles. Intangible assets consist primarily of customer
relationships, order backlog and trade name.

Impairment
The
Company has not realized the anticipated revenue from customers acquired in
our
acquisitions and has experienced continued operating losses during the six
months ended June 30, 2008. The Company conducted analyses of the operations
in
order to identify any impairment in the carrying value of the goodwill related
to the business. Analyzing the business using both an income approach and a
market approach determined that the carrying valued exceeded the current fair
value of the business, resulting in goodwill impairment of $1.2 million for
the
three and six months ended June 30, 2008. At June 30, 2008, the adjusted
carrying value of goodwill was $21.8 million.
For

During
the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company repurchased 5,990
treasury shares with an aggregate value of $28,114 associated with vesting
restricted stock of an employee. The Company paid the employees’ related
taxes associated with the employees' vested stock and decreased the shares
issued to the employee by a corresponding value, resulting in a share issuance
net of taxes to employee. The value of the shares netted for employee taxes
represents treasury stock repurchased in the second quarter 2008.
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.
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company repurchased 354,775
of
the Company’s common shares valued in aggregate at $1.9 million. The plan was
suspended in the third quarter of 2007; accordingly, there has been no activity
under the plan in the 2008.
In
January 2007, the Company repurchased 756,100 shares at an aggregate value

purchase units and warrants have a cashless exercise feature, whereby the holder
may elect to receive a net amount of shares and forego the payment of the strike

In
February 2007, the Company entered into a one year agreement with an advisor
in
which we were obligated to issue a warrant for the purchase of 125,000 shares
of
our common stock, in exchange for consulting services. The fair value of these

Taxes

APB No.
28 Interim
Financial Reporting
and FASB
Interpretation No. 18, Accounting
for Income Taxes in Interim Periods.
Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the
financial reporting and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities using
enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected
to reverse.
The
Company’s provision for deferred taxes reflects the establishment of a full
valuation allowance against deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2008. SFAS 109
requires management to evaluate its deferred tax assets on a regular basis
to
reduce them to an amount that is realizable on a more likely than not basis.
The
Company is in a net operating loss carryover position. The net operating losses
not utilized can be carried forward for 20 years to offset future taxable
income. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded a
partial valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, as the
Company concluded that under relevant accounting standards, it is more
likely than not that a portion of deferred tax assets will be not be realizable.

NOTES
TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Under
SFAS 109, the Company evaluated available evidence to determine whether a full
or partial valuation allowance of deferred tax assets should be recorded. As
of
June 30, 2008, cumulative losses in recent periods is evidence to support the
need for a valuation allowance. Such evidence outweighs projections of future
taxable income that may support the realization of deferred tax assets.
Accordingly, the Company has decided to increase its valuation allowance by
$387,000, recording a charge to deferred tax expense in the three months
ended June 30, 2008.
The
Company is expected to record future deferred tax expense, primarily as the
result of tax amortization resulting from the purchase of TSS/Vortech. Under
SFAS 109, tax amortization on indefinite lived assets (goodwill and other
intangibles) may not be offset by deferred tax assets that are not currently
realizable, primarily deferred tax assets relating to net operating loss
carryovers, because of valuation allowances.
The
Company’s effective tax rate is based upon the rate expected to be applicable to
the full fiscal year. The rate differs from those used in the three months
ended
June 30, 2007 primarily due to changes in the valuation allowance subsequent
to
that date.
Effective
January 1, 2007, the Company was required to adopt FASB Interpretation No.
48,
Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
(“FIN
48”). The Company evaluates its uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis and
has not identified any changes in uncertain tax positions during the reporting
period.
Management
is in the process of evaluating the various tax positions associated with the
acquisition of SMLB and is of the opinion that any deferred tax liabilities
that
would ultimately result from uncertain tax positions related to this acquisition
is not anticipated to be material.
The
Company files a consolidated federal tax return and in states that allow it,
in
other states it files separate company returns.
All
of
the Company's prior federal and state income tax filings since inception remain
open under statutes of limitation. Innovative Power System Inc.'s statutes
of limitation are open from the 2002 tax year forward for both federal and
Virginia purposes. Quality Power Systems Inc.'s statutes of
limitation are open from the 2003 tax year forward for both federal and Virginia
purposes. SMLB’s statutes of limitation are open from the 2006 tax year forward
for both federal and Illinois purposes.

In
connection with the acquisition of TSS/Vortech, on January 19, 2007, the Company
issued two convertible, unsecured promissory notes, with an aggregate value
of
$10,000,000 to the sellers. During the third quarter of 2007, the Company
entered into an agreement with its Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”), one
of the sellers, to retire $2,500,000 of the note due to him by paying $2,000,000
and the CEO used the proceeds to repurchase the Company’s common stock and
warrants. The prepayment discount realized of $500,000 has been recorded as
additional paid-in capital. 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 principal installments totaling $625,000, as adjusted
for the early repayment of the CEO notes. The notes are convertible at any
time
by the selling members into 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at a conversion
price of $7.50 per share and are automatically convertible if the average
closing price of our common stock for 20 consecutive trading days equals or
exceeds $7.50 per share.
In
connection with the acquisition of Innovative, on September 24, 2007, the
Company issued an unsecured promissory note with the sellers in the amount
of $300,000. The note bears interest at six percent per year and has a three
year term. Quarterly principal installments of $15,000 plus interest are due
commencing December 31, 2007, with a final balloon payment of $120,000 due
on
December 31, 2010. Based on achieving certain earnings targets through December
31, 2007 and net of a purchase price adjustment associated with working capital,
the Innovative sellers received an additional promissory note of $64,611 at
December 31, 2007. The additional unsecured promissory note is in similar
form to the unsecured promissory note issued at closing, bearing interest
at six percent per year and has a three year term. Quarterly principal
installments of $3,231 plus interest commenced March 31, 2008 with a final
balloon payment of $25,844 due on March 31, 2011.
In
connection with the Rubicon acquisition, the Company was obligated to issue
unsecured promissory notes totaling $1.5 million and $2.0 million contingent
on
Rubicon achieving certain earnings targets for the month ended December 31,
2007
and certain revenue bookings targets for 2008, respectively. Rubicon exceeded
earnings targets for the month ended December, 31 2007, resulting in the
issuance of a promissory note totaling $1.5 million which was paid in the first
quarter of 2008.
Of
the
$2.0 million contingent note, approximately $0.4 million was issued at June
30,
2008 based on Rubicon’s achievement of revenue bookings targets through that
date. The issued note bears interest at six percent per annum from the
acquisition date and was paid on July 31, 2008. At December 31, 2008, the
Company may be required to issue up to $1.6 million or the balance on the note
contingent on Rubicon achieving certain revenue bookings targets in the second
half of 2008. Any contingent note issuance would be due on January 31, 2009
and
will have earned interest at six percent per annum from the purchase
date through payment. At June 30, 2008, revenue bookings were not determinable
beyond a reasonable doubt, the remaining $1.6 million contingent note has not
been issued.
In
connection with the acquisition of SMLB, on January 2, 2008, the Company issued
unsecured promissory notes with an aggregate value of $500,000 to the sellers.
The note bears interest at six percent per year and has a three year term.
During the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Company reduced the seller
notes to $15,248 based on a $484,752 working capital adjustment in
accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement. Principal installments
net of the adjustment of $3,050, $3,050 and $9,148, plus accrued
interest, are due on January 2, 2009, January 2, 2010 and January 2,
2011, respectively. The Company may prepay the notes any time at its election
without penalty.

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, including, without limitation, Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,
contains ‘‘forward-looking statements’’ within the meaning of Section 27A
of the Securities Act, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We intend the
forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor for forward-looking
statements in such sections of the Exchange Act. The forward-looking information
is based on various factors and was derived using numerous assumptions. All
statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities,
events or developments that we intend, expect, project, believe or anticipate
will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Such statements
are based upon certain assumptions and assessments made by our management in
light of their experience and their perception of historical trends, current
conditions, expected future developments and other factors they believe to
be
appropriate. These forward-looking statements are usually accompanied by words
such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “seek,” “expect,” “intend” and similar
expressions.
Forward-looking
statements necessarily involve risks and uncertainties, and our actual results
could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward looking statements
due to a number of factors, including those set forth in Part I,
Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2007, as updated and supplemented by Part II,
Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and elsewhere
in this report. These factors, as well as other cautionary statements made
in
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, should be read and understood as being
applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear
herein. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q represent our judgment as of the date hereof. We encourage you to
read
those descriptions carefully. We caution you not to place undue reliance on
the
forward-looking statements contained in this report. These statements, like
all
statements in this report, speak only as of the date of this report (unless
an
earlier date is indicated) and we undertake no obligation to update or revise
the statements except as required by law.
Business
Formation and Overview
We
were incorporated in Delaware on December 20, 2004 as a special
purpose acquisition company under the name “Fortress America Acquisition
Corporation” for the purpose of acquiring an operating business that performed
services to the homeland security industry. On July 20, 2005, we
closed our initial public offering of 7,800,000 units (including underwriters
exercise of an over-allotment option), resulting in net proceeds to us of
approximately $43.2 million.
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 acquisition fundamentally transformed the Company from a firm
primarily seeking to invest capital to an operating business.
Building
on the TSS/Vortech business, management continued an acquisition strategy to
expand our geographical footprint, add complementary service, and diversify
and
expand our customer base. During 2007, we acquired substantially all of the
assets of Comm Site of South Florida, Inc., 100% of the outstanding stock of
Innovative Power Solutions, Inc. and Quality Power Solutions, Inc. and 100%
of
the membership interests of Rubicon Integration, L.L.C.
On
January 2, 2008, we continued our acquisition strategy with the purchase of
100% of the outstanding stock of SMLB, Ltd., which provides consulting, facility
management, and equipment integration services for the mission-critical
facilities in the Chicago area. The closing consideration consisted of (i)
$2,000,000 in cash, subject to certain adjustment to be determined subsequent
to
the closing of the acquisition, as provided in the purchase agreement, (ii)
96,896 shares of our common stock valued at approximately $500,000,
(iii) $500,000 in unsecured promissory notes bearing interest at 6% per
annum (this note was adjusted to $15,248 as SMLB has not met the working capital
requirement established in the purchase agreement), and (iv) additional earn-out
amounts up to a maximum of $600,000, contingent upon the achievement of certain
earnings targets by SMLB for each of the calendar years 2008-2009.
With
the
acquired assets, 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.
Contract
Backlog
We
believe an indicator of our future performance is our backlog of uncompleted
projects in process or recently awarded. Our backlog represents our estimate
of
anticipated revenue from executed and awarded contracts that have not been
completed and that we expect will be recognized as revenues over the life of
the
contracts. We have broken out our backlog into the following three categories:
(i) technology consulting consisting of services related to consulting and/or
engineering design contracts; (ii) construction management, and (iii) facility
management.
Backlog
is not a measure defined in generally accepted accounting principles, and our
methodology for determining backlog may not be comparable to the methodology
of
other companies in determining their backlog. Our backlog is generally
recognized under two categories: (1) contracts for which work authorizations
have been or are expected to be received on a fixed-price basis, guaranteed
maximum price basis and time and materials basis and (2) contracts awarded
to us
where some, but not all, of the work have not yet been authorized. At June
30,
2008, we have authorizations to proceed with work for approximately $58.9
million or 26% of our total backlog of $224.1 million. At December 31, 2007,
we
had authorizations to proceed with work for approximately $32.4 million or
19%
of our total backlog of $172.9 million. Additionally, approximately $155.5
and
$118.0 million or 69% and 68% of our backlog relates to a single customer at
June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
16
As
of
June 30, 2008, our backlog was approximately $224.1 million, compared to
approximately $172.9 million at December 31, 2007. We believe that approximately
20% of the backlog at June 30, 2008 will be recognized during the next six
months. The following table reflects the value of our backlog in the above
three
categories as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

Our
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation
of these financial statements requires that management make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
the
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ significantly from those
estimates.
We
believe the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant
estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial
statements.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue when pervasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
the
contract price is fixed or determinable, services have been rendered or goods
delivered and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company's revenue is
derived from the following types of contractual arrangements: fixed-price
contracts, time and material contracts and cost-plus-fee contracts (including
guaranteed maximum price contracts). The Company’s primary source of revenue is
from fixed price contracts and we apply Statement of Position (SOP) 81-1,
“Accounting
for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type
Contracts”,
recognizing revenue on the percentage-of-completion method using costs incurred
in relation to total estimated project costs.
Revenue
from fixed price contracts is 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 costs
incurred and costs to complete to be the best available measure of progress
in
the contracts. Contract costs include all direct materials, subcontract and
labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such
as
indirect labor, payroll taxes, employee benefits and supplies.
18
Revenue
on time-and-material contracts is recognized based on the actual labor hours
performed at the contracted billable rates and costs incurred on behalf of
the
customer. Revenue on cost-plus-fee contracts is recognized to the extent of
costs incurred, plus an estimate of the applicable fees earned. Fixed fees
under
cost-plus-fee contracts are recorded as earned in proportion to the allowable
costs incurred in performance of the contract.
Contract
revenue recognition inherently involves estimation. Examples of estimates
include the contemplated level of effort to accomplish the tasks under the
contract, the costs of the effort and an ongoing assessment of the Company's
progress toward completing the contract. From time to time, as part of its
standard management process, facts develop that require the Company to revise
its estimated total costs on revenue. To the extent that a revised estimate
affects contract profit or revenue previously recognized, the Company records
the cumulative effect of the revision in the period in which the revisions
becomes known. The full amount of an anticipated loss on any type of contract
is
recognized in the period in which it becomes probable and can reasonably be
estimated.
Under
certain circumstances, the Company may elect to work at risk prior to receiving
an executed contract document. The Company has a formal procedure for
authorizing any such at risk work to be incurred. Revenue, however, is deferred
until a contract modification or vehicle is provided by the
customer.
Additionally,
in the event the collection of revenue is not reasonably assured, we recognize
revenue when we are paid for the service. We expense any related contracted
costs as they are incurred.
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
The
allowance for doubtful accounts is our best estimate of the amount of probable
credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. We determine the
allowance based on an analysis of our historical experience with bad debt
write-offs and an aging of the accounts receivable balance. Account balances
are
charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been
exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
As
of June 30, 2008, included in accounts receivable is
$1.4 million due from a customer that that we have offered extended payment
terms. This amount was recognized as revenue in the three months ended June
30,
2008. The customer has executed a promissory note in the same amount bearing
interest at 8% per annum with payments of interest only due monthly and the
balance in full is due on December 15, 2008.
Non-cash
Compensation
We
apply
the expense recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), “Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”),
therefore, the recognition of the value of the instruments results in
compensation expense in our financial statements. The expense differs from
other
compensation and professional expenses in that these charges, though generally
permitted to be settled in cash, are typically settled through the issuance
of
common stock, which would have a dilutive effect upon earnings per share, if
and
when such warrants are exercised or restricted stock vests. The determination
of
the estimated fair value used to record the compensation or professional
expenses associated with the equity or liability instruments issued requires
management to make a number of assumptions and estimates that can change or
fluctuate over time.
Goodwill
and Other Purchased Intangible Assets
Goodwill
represents the excess of costs over fair value of net assets of businesses
acquired. Other purchased intangible assets include the fair value of items
such
as customer contracts, backlog and customer relationships. SFAS No. 142,
Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets
(“SFAS No. 142”), establishes financial accounting and
reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. Goodwill and
intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined
to
have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but rather tested for
impairment on an annual basis or purchased intangible assets with a definite
useful life are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful
lives. We have a process pursuant to which we typically retain third-party
valuation experts to assist us in determining the fair market values and useful
lives of identified intangible assets. Certain techniques require us to make
estimates and assumptions about the future financial performance of the acquired
businesses that may change in the future.
Our
intangible assets consist of trade name, in-place contracts, customer
relationships, and non-competition agreements with amortizable lives of 1-8
years for the finite lived intangibles. The Company annually tests for the
impairment of goodwill pursuant to the requirements of SFAS No. 142 and of
the
other purchased intangible assets pursuant to the requirements of SFAS No.
144,
“Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”
If
events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset value might be
impaired, we will test during the interim period in which those changes occur.
Through the second quarter 2008, we continued to incur operating losses and
revised our forecasted revenues as certain of our acquisitions have not
delivered originally anticipated revenues. As a result of the decline in
performance, during the interim period we evaluated the carrying value of
goodwill and other long-lived intangible assets for impairment. Utilizing a
third party firm we determined the carrying value of goodwill was in excess
of
the fair value, resulting in an aggregate impairment on goodwill of
approximately $1.2 million.
19
Income
Taxes
Deferred
income taxes are provided for the differences between the basis of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are measured using tax rates in effect for the year in which
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation
allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the
amount expected to be realized.
We
make
certain estimates and judgments in determining income tax expense for financial
statement purposes. These estimates and judgments occur in the calculation
of
certain tax assets and liabilities, which principally arise from differences
in
the timing of recognition of revenue and expense for tax and financial statement
purposes. We also must analyze income tax reserves, as well as determine the
likelihood of recoverability of deferred tax assets and adjust any valuation
allowances accordingly. Considerations with respect to the recoverability of
deferred tax assets include the period of expiration of the tax asset planned
use of the tax asset and historical and projected taxable income, as well as
tax
liabilities for the tax jurisdiction to which the tax asset relates. Valuation
allowances are evaluated periodically and will be subject to change in each
future reporting period as a result of changes in one or more of these
factors.
Effective
January 1, 2007, we were 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 de-recognition 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, we were in essence a “blank
check” company with no substantive operations. Management concluded that the
adoption of FIN 48 had no material effect on our financial position or
results of operations. As of June 30, 2008, we do not have any
material gross unrecognized tax benefit liabilities. However, management is
still in the process of evaluating the various tax positions associated with
the
acquisition of SMLB and is of the opinion that any deferred tax liabilities
that
would ultimately result from uncertain tax positions related to these entities
may be covered by indemnification provisions provided in the acquisition
agreement or may result in an adjustment to goodwill.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The
most critical estimates and assumptions are made in determining the allowance
for doubtful accounts, revenue recognition, recovery of long-lived assets,
useful lives of long-lived assets, accruals for estimated tax and stock
compensation expense. Actual results could differ from those estimates and
assumptions.
In
May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee
Insurance Contracts” (“SFAS 163”), SFAS 163 requires recognition of a claim
liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit
deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. SFAS 163
clarifies how FAS 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts,
including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium
revenue and claim liabilities and requires expanded disclosures about financial
guarantee insurance contracts. SFAS 163 is effective for us January 1, 2009.
We
do not expect the adoption of SFAS 163 to have a material effect on our
consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In
May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”). SFAS 162 identifies the
sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles
used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities
that
are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
(the
GAAP hierarchy). SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days
following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in
Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” We do not expect the
adoption of SFAS 162 to have a material effect on our consolidated results
of operations and financial condition.
In
April
2008, FASB issued a Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the
Useful Life of Intangible Assets,” (“FSP 142-3”) which amends the factors a
Company should consider when developing renewal assumptions used to determine
the useful life of an intangible asset under SFAS 142. FSP 142-3 replaces the
previous useful life criteria with a new requirement-that an entity consider
its
own historical experience in renewing similar arrangements. In issuing FSP
142-3, the FASB hopes to improve the consistency between the useful life of
a
recognized intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to
measure the fair value of the asset. FAS 142-3 is effective January 1, 2009.
We
are currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of FAS 142-3 may
have
on our financial statements.
In
March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures
about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 133,”
which
requires additional disclosures about the objectives of the derivative
instruments and hedging activities, the method of accounting for such
instruments under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and a
tabular disclosure of the effects of such instruments and related hedged items
on our financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS
No. 161 is effective beginning January 1, 2009. We are currently
assessing the potential impact that adoption of SFAS No. 161 may have on
our financial statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling
Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB
No. 51”(“SFAS
No. 160”),
which
changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests. Minority interests
will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and will be reported as
a
component of equity separate from the parent’s equity, and purchases or sales of
equity interests that do not result in a change in control will be accounted
for
as equity transactions. In addition, net income attributable to the
noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the
face
of the income statement and, upon a loss of control, the interest sold, as
well
as any interest retained, will be recorded at fair value with any gain or loss
recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 160 is effective beginning July 1,
2009 and will apply prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure
requirements, which will apply retrospectively. We do not expect the adoption
of
SFAS No. 160 to have a material effect on our consolidated results of operation
of financial.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business
Combinations,”
(“SFAS
No. 141(R)”) which replaces SFAS No. 141. The statement retains the
purchase method of accounting for acquisitions, but requires a number of
changes, including changes in the way assets and liabilities are recognized
in
the purchase accounting. It also changes the recognition of assets acquired
and
liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, requires the capitalization
of
in-process research and development at fair value, and requires the expensing
of
acquisition-related costs as incurred. SFAS No. 141R is effective beginning
January 1, 2009 and will apply prospectively to business combinations
completed on or after that date.

Results
of operations for the successor company for the three months ended June 30,
2008
compared with the three months ended June 30, 2007.
Revenue.
Revenue
increased $9.2 million to $20.1 million for the three months ended June 30,
2008
from $10.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The
increase was primarily driven by $6.2 million from our construction
management services and the inclusion of $3.0 million of revenue associated
with the acquisitions of Innovative, Rubicon, and SMLB.
Cost
of Revenue.
Cost of
revenue increased $8.6 million to $18.0 million for the three months ended
June
30, 2008 from $9.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The
increase was primarily driven by $5.4 million from our construction
management services and the inclusion of $3.2 million of cost of revenue
associated with the acquisitions of Innovative, Rubicon, and SMLB.
Gross
Margin Percentage.
Gross
margin percentage decreased by 2.7% to 10.5% for the three months ended June
30,
2008 compared to 13.2 % for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Excluding
the
effect of gross margin contribution associated with the acquisitions of
Innovative, Rubicon and SMLB, gross margin percentage increased to 13.8%
for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from 13.2% for the three months ended
June 30, 2007. The overall decline in gross profit was primarily
attributable to the $0.7 million estimated loss on a contract we acquired as
part of our acquisition of SMLB. Exclusive of any unanticipated contract losses
in the future, we expect our total gross margin percentage to approximate 14.0%.
Selling,
general and administrative expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.3 million to $5.7
million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $3.4 million for the
three
months ended June 30, 2007. The increase was primarily driven by professional
fees of approximately $0.7 million that we expensed associated with an abandoned
acquisition, the inclusion of $0.7 million of selling, general and
administrative expenses associated with the acquisitions of Innovative, Rubicon,
and SMLB and an increase in our average compensation and related benefit
costs.
As
we
have experienced delays in the timing of revenues associated with certain
customers and margins have contracted, the Company is evaluating a plan to
restructure expenses to align with current operating revenues. The plan seeks
to
reduce operating costs associated with professional fees, sales and marketing,
and personnel and related costs.
Depreciation.
Depreciation remained consistent at $0.1 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2008 compared to $0.1 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2007.
Amortization
of intangible assets.
Amortization expense remained consistent at $0.6 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended
June
30, 2007.
Impairment
loss on intangibles. We
have
not realized the anticipated revenue from customers acquired in our acquisitions
and have experienced continued operating losses in the three months ended June
30, 2008. We conducted analyses of the operations in order to identify any
impairment in the carrying value of the goodwill and other intangibles related
to our business. Analyzing our business using both an income approach and a
market approach determined that the carrying value exceeded the current fair
value of our business, resulting in goodwill impairment of $1.2 million for
the
three months ended June 30, 2008. At June 30, 2008, the adjusted carrying value
of goodwill was $21.8 million.
21
Interest
income (expense), net.
Our
interest income (expense), net decreased $0.4 million to ($0.1) million for
the
three months ended June 30, 2008 from $0.3 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2007. The decrease in interest income was due to a lower average
invested balance in the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to June
30,
2007.
Income
tax expense (benefit).
Income
tax expense increased $0.2 million to $0.4 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2008 from $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The
tax expense was associated with the increase in our deferred tax asset
valuation allowance as the full net operating losses (NOL’s) may not be fully
realized in future periods.
Results
of operations for the successor company for the six months ended June 30, 2008
compared with the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Revenue.
Revenue
increased $20.1 million to $39.6 million for the six months ended June 30,
2008
from $19.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase was
primarily driven by $10.0 million is attributable to an increase in revenue
from
our construction management services and the inclusion of $8.7 million of
revenue associated with the acquisitions of Innovative, Rubicon, and
SMLB and the inclusion of approximately $1.4 million of revenue associated
with TSS/Vortech.
Cost
of Revenue.
Cost of
revenue increased $17.5 million to $34.1 million for the six months ended June
30, 2008 from $16.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The
increase was driven by the increase in revenue primarily from our
construction management services, the inclusion of $7.2 million of cost of
revenue associated with the acquisitions of Innovative, Rubicon, and
SMLB and the inclusion of approximately $1.1 million of cost of revenue
associated with TSS/Vortech results being included for an additional nineteen
days or a full quarter in 2008.
Gross
Margin Percentage.
Gross
margin percentage decreased 0.9% to 14.0% for the six months ended June 30,
2008
compared to 14.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The decline in gross
profit was primarily attributable to a $0.7 million estimated loss on a
contract we acquired as part of our acquisition of SMLB.
Selling,
general and administrative expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $4.3 million to $10.4
million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $6.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2007. The increase was primarily driven by $1.3
million of selling, general and administrative expenses associated with the
acquisitions of Innovative, Rubicon and SMLB, $0.7 million that we
expensed associated with an abandoned acquisition, the inclusion of
approximately $0.6 million of selling, general and administrative expenses
associated with TSS/Vortech’s results being included for an additional nineteen
days or full quarter in 2008 and
an
increase in average compensation and related benefit costs.
As
we
have experienced delays in the timing of revenues associated with certain
customers and margins have contracted, the Company is evaluating a plan to
restructure expenses to align with current operating revenues. The plan seeks
to
reduce operating costs associated with professional fees, sales and marketing,
and personnel and related costs.
Depreciation.
Depreciation remained consistent at $0.2 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2008 compared to $0.2 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2007.
Amortization
of intangible assets.
Amortization expense increased $0.4 million to $1.4 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2008 from $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
The increase in amortization expense was primarily attributable to a
higher amortizable intangible base in 2008, associated with the
acquisitions of Innovative, Rubicon and SMLB.
Impairment
loss on intangibles. We
have
not realized the anticipated revenue from customers acquired in our acquisitions
and have experienced continued operating losses in the current year. We
conducted analyses of the operations in order to identify any impairment in
the
carrying value of the goodwill and other intangibles related to our business.
Analyzing our business using both an income approach and a market approach
determined that the carrying value exceeded the current fair value of our
business, resulting in goodwill impairment of $1.2 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2008. At June 30, 2008, the adjusted carrying value of goodwill
was $21.8 million.
Interest
income (expense), net.
Our
interest income (expense), net decreased $0.5 million to ($0.1) million for
the
six months ended June 30, 2008 from $0.4 million for the six months ended June
30, 2007. The decrease in interest income was due to a lower average invested
balance in the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to six months ended
June 30, 2007.
Income
tax expense (benefit).
Income
tax expense increased $0.7 million to $0.4 million for the six months ended
June
30, 2008 from ($0.3) million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The tax
expense is associated with the increase in our deferred tax asset valuation
allowance as the full net operating losses (NOL’s) may not be fully realized in
future periods. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, income tax benefit
was
$0.3 million reflecting the value of a NOL carry back to prior periods at an
effective rate of 34% federal tax rate, which was applicable for the full
year.

Financial
Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
We
have
historically incurred net losses and have used our cash and investments to
fund
our operating and investing activities. We believe that operational
improvements, strategic investments and complementary acquisitions will improve
the cash flows of our business. Our efforts are continuing and may include
further acquisitions and realignment of our sales, general and administrative
expenses. We cannot be sure, however, as to the amount and timing of the
associated financial impact. Cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2008
and 2007 and for the period January 1, through January 19, 2007 (Predecessor)
are as follows:

Cash
and
cash equivalents decreased $4.8 million to $8.4 million at June 30, 2008 from
$13.2 million at December 31, 2007. The decrease was primarily attributable
to
$0.8 million from operating activities, $2.1 million for the purchase of SMLB
and $1.5 million for the repayment of promissory notes issued in connection
with
the Rubicon acquisition.
Operating
Activity
Net
cash
used in operations decreased $5.5 million to $0.8 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2008 from $ 6.3 million used in operations for the six months
ended June 30, 2007. The decline in cash used in operating cash flows is
primarily attributable to working capital as follows:
Increase
in net loss.
Net loss
increased $4.7 million to $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008
from $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in net
loss was primarily attributable to a $2.8 million increase in non-cash
items primarily the impairment loss on goodwill and identified intangibles,
provision for income taxes, amortization of intangibles and equity-based
compensation expense. Excluding non-cash items from net loss, net loss increased
$2.0 million to $4.1 million for the six month ended June 30, 3008 from $2.1
million for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Increase
in working capital.
Net
changes in operating assets and liabilities decreased approximately $4.7
million primarily due to trade receivables and payables, which accounts for
the improvement or decline in cash used by operating activities. The
decrease is primarily attributable to managing our trade accounts receivable
and
corresponding payables.
Investing
Activity
Net
cash
used in investing increased $36.0 million to $2.3 million used in investing
activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $33.7 million provided
by
investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase was
primarily attributable to our transition to an operating Company in the first
quarter of 2007 and the release of investments held in trust for general
operating purposes.
Sale
of investments held in Trust
. Upon
the approval of the TSS/Vortech acquisition, we had a cash inflow from the
sale of approximately $44.7 million in trust investments, which funded the
cash
portion of the acquisition and repurchase of common stock from dissenting
shareholders electing to receive their IPO proceeds back and provided cash
for
future ongoing operations.
Acquisitions.
Net cash
used to acquire businesses decreased $7.6 million to $2.1 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2008 from $9.7 million for the six months ended June
30, 2007. In the first quarter of 2008, we acquired SMLB, Ltd. which had a
significantly lower enterprise value and in turn lower cash purchase price
component as compared to TSS/Vortech acquisition, which occurred in the first
quarter of 2007. The remainder of the increase is associated primarily with
deferred acquisition costs incurred as we continued to pursue potential
acquisitions.
Financing
Activity
Net
cash
used in financing decreased $4.7 million to $1.6 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2008 from $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
The decrease in cash used in financing activities was attributable fundamentally
to different activity as described in the following:
· |
Repayment
of seller notes.
During the first quarter of 2008, we repaid a $1.5 million unsecured
promissory notes issued at December 31, 2007 associated with achievement
of certain earnings targets by
Rubicon.
|
· |
Repurchase
of common stock.
During the first quarter of 2007, we used $6.2 million to repurchase
our
common stock associated with the election of conversion rights
by our dissenting shareholders in connection with our acquisition of
TSS/Vortech and $1.3 million in a share buyback program. The share
buyback
program was suspended in the third quarter of 2007; however,
during 2008 the Company repurchased 5,990 shares for employee taxes
associated with net issuance of vesting restricted
stock.

Acquisition
Related-Non-Cash Activities
During
the six months ended June 30, 2008, we issued total unsecured promissory
notes totaling $0.5 million as purchase consideration. In connection with the
acquisitions of SMLB, we initially issued $0.5 million of unsecured promissory
notes that were reduced in the second quarter 2008 to $15,248 pursuant to the
working capital requirements per the original purchase agreement. Consistent
with the Rubicon purchase agreement in exchange for achieving specified
financial targets at June 30, 2008, we issued an additional $0.4 million of
unsecured promissory notes. These unsecured promissory notes bear interest
at 6%
from the acquisition date through June 30, 2008 payment date.
For
a
discussion of our acquisitions, see Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements-Acquisitions.
Liquidity
In
August
2008, we were evaluating a plan to restructure expenses to realign them with
the
current operating revenues and gross margins as certain customers have delayed
their spending. Our plan seeks to reduces operating costs associated with
professional fees, sales and marketing, and personnel and related costs.
We
believe that our current cash and cash equivalents and expected future cash
generated from operations will satisfy our expected working capital, capital
expenditure and investment requirements through the next twelve months. We
may elect to secure additional capital in the future, if available and at
acceptable terms, to improve our liquidity or fund acquisitions. The
amounts involved in any such transaction, individually or in the aggregate,
may
be material and differ in structure relative to past acquisitions. To the extent
that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, the
issuance of such securities could result in dilution to our existing
shareholders. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of debt
securities, the terms of such debt could impose additional restrictions on
our
operations. Additional capital, if required, may not be available on acceptable
terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may be
required to reduce the scope of acquisition plans, which could impact our
business, financial condition and earnings.

of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined

and
Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of June 30, 2008, our disclosure
controls and procedures were ineffective. There have been no significant changes
in the control environment during the second quarter of 2008.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

were no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting

Act.
