Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
|
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 "Fair Value Measurements"
("SFAS No. 157"), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods
within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff
Position (“FSP”) 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No.
157. This FSP delays the effective date of FAS 157 for all
nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are
recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually)
to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim
periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS
No.157 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial
statements.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
159 "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities"
("SFAS No. 159"). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure
certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. The stated
objective of SFAS No. 159 is to improve financial reporting by providing
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
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007,
and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS
No.159 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial
statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141 (Revised 2007), "Business
Combinations." SFAS 141(R) will significantly change the accounting for business
combinations. Under SFAS 141(R), an acquiring entity will be required to
recognize, with limited exceptions, all the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value. SFAS
141(R) will change the accounting treatment for certain specific
acquisition-related items including, among other items: (1) expensing
acquisition-related costs as incurred, (2) valuing noncontrolling interests
at fair value at the acquisition date, and (3) expensing restructuring
costs associated with an acquired business. SFAS 141(R) also includes a
substantial number of new disclosure requirements. SFAS 141(R) is to be applied
prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or
after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after
December 15, 2008. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS 141(R) as
of April 1, 2009.

Short-Term Borrowings:
|
Until
March 21, 2006, we were parties to a financing agreement (the “Agreement”) with
CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc. (“CIT”) that had a term of three years ending
December 12, 2006 and provided for borrowings in an amount up to 85% of our
eligible accounts receivable, as defined in the Agreement, but in no event more
than $15,000,000. The Agreement also provided for advances against
unbilled revenues (primarily monthly invoiced accounts) although this benefit
was offset by a reserve against all outstanding payroll
checks. Borrowings under the Agreement bore interest at the prime
rate (as defined in the Agreement) plus 1.25% per annum, on the greater
of: (i) $5,000,000 or (ii) the average of the net balances owed by us
to CIT in the loan account at the close of each day during the applicable month
for which interest was calculated. Costs to close the loan totaled
$279,963 and are being amortized over the three year life of the Agreement, as
extended (see below).
On March
22, 2006, we entered into an Amended and Restated Financing Agreement with CIT
(the “Amended and Restated Agreement”), which provided for borrowings as noted
above, but in no event more than $12,000,000. The Amended and
Restated Agreement provided for a letter of credit sub-line in an aggregate
amount of up to $1,500,000. Under the Amended and Restated Agreement,
letters of credit were subject to a two percent (2%) per annum fee on the face
amount of each letter of credit. The Amended and Restated Agreement
provided for interest to be calculated on the outstanding principal balance of
the revolving loans at the prime rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated
Agreement) plus .25%, if our EBITDA (as defined in the Amended and Restated
Agreement) was equal to or less than $500,000 for the most recently completed
fiscal quarter; otherwise, the outstanding principal balance bore interest at
the prime rate. For LIBOR loans, interest was calculated on the
outstanding principal balance of the LIBOR loans at the LIBOR rate (as defined
in the Amended and Restated Agreement) plus 2.75%, if our EBITDA was equal to or
less than $500,000 for the most recently completed fiscal quarter; otherwise,
the outstanding principal balance bore interest at the LIBOR rate plus
2.50%.
On April
12, 2007, we entered into an amendment to the Amended and Restated Agreement
(“the Amended Agreement”). Under the Amended Agreement, the aggregate
amount that we could borrow from CIT under the credit facility was increased
from $12,000,000 to $16,000,000, and CIT also provided us with a $2,400,000
acquisition advance to fund the cash requirements associated with the
acquisition of a security services business. Further, the Amended
Agreement extended the maturity date of this credit facility to December 12,
2008, reduced certain fees and availability reserves and increased the letter of
credit sub-line to an aggregate amount of up to $3,000,000. Under the
Amended Agreement, letters of credit are subject to a one and three-quarters
percent (1.75%) per annum fee on the face amount of each letter of
credit. The Amended Agreement provides that interest is calculated on
the outstanding principal balance of the revolving loans at the prime rate (as
defined in the Amended Agreement) less .25%. For LIBOR loans,
interest will be calculated on the outstanding principal balance of the LIBOR
loans at the LIBOR rate (as defined in the Amended Agreement) plus
2.0%.
On
October 10, 2008, we amended the Amended Agreement to extend the maturity date
of the CIT credit facility to December 31, 2008 and to reduce the written notice
period required to terminate the Amended Agreement from 60 days to 30
days.
COMMAND SECURITY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
On
November 24, 2008, we amended the Amended Agreement to extend the maturity date
of the CIT credit facility to March 31, 2009. The amendment also
provides for interest to be calculated on the outstanding principal balance of
the revolving loans at prime rate (as defined in the Amended Agreement) plus
3.50%. For LIBOR loans, interest will be calculated on the
outstanding principal balance of the LIBOR loans at the LIBOR rate (as defined
in the Amended Agreement) plus 3.50%. In addition, the Company agreed
to pay CIT a fee (the “Amendment Fee”) in consideration for the extension
provided to the Company under this amendment in the amount of
$20,000. The Amendment Fee is payable as follows: (i) If
the Obligations (as defined in the Amended Agreement) are paid in full on or
before January 31, 2009, the entire Amendment Fee shall be forgiven; (ii) If the
Obligations (as defined in the Amended Agreement) are not paid on or before
January 31, 2009, a portion of the Amendment Fee in the amount of $7,500 must be
paid on or before February 1, 2009; (iii) If the Obligations (as defined in the
Amended Agreement) are paid in full on or before February 27, 2009, then the
unpaid balance of the Amendment Fee shall be forgiven; and (iv) If the
Obligations (as defined in the Amended Agreement) are not paid on or before
February 27, 2009, then the unpaid balance of the Amendment Fee must be paid on
or before March 2, 2009.
As of
December 31, 2008, the interest rate for revolving loans was
6.75%. Closing costs for the Amended Agreement totaled $158,472,
including $125,000 payable to the lender, with $45,000 due at closing, $40,000
due six months after closing and $40,000 due twelve months after
closing. Legal costs incurred in connection with the transaction were
$33,472. All of these costs are being amortized over the remaining
life of the Amended Agreement.
At
December 31, 2008, we had borrowed $12,418,102 in revolving loans and had
$147,000 of letters of credit outstanding representing approximately 79% of our
maximum borrowing capacity under the Amended Agreement based on our “eligible
accounts receivable” (as defined under the Amended Agreement) as of such
date. For the nine months ended December 31, 2008, we were in
compliance with all covenants under the Amended Agreement.
We have
relied on our borrowings from CIT under our credit facility to finance our
working capital requirements and, to a lesser extent, for
acquisitions. During November and December 2008, our management had
discussions with, and received term sheets from a number of financial
institutions with respect to a new credit facility. Based on our
review of the various alternatives presented by these financial institutions and
input received from our management, our board of directors approved the
selection of the proposal for a credit facility from Wells Fargo, National
Association, acting through its Wells Fargo Business Credit operating division
(“Wells Fargo”). On February 12, 2009, we entered into a new
$20,000,000 credit facility with Wells Fargo, as described in Note
9.

In
September 2008, we completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets
of Eagle International Group, LLC (“EIG”) and International Security &
Safety Group, LLC (“ISSG”), providers of security services primarily in Broward
and Palm Beach counties in Florida. EIG and ISSG have an aggregate of
approximately 200 employees and estimated combined annual sales of approximately
$5,000,000 for calendar 2008. The combined cash purchase price for
these businesses was approximately $1,200,000, subject to reduction in the event
that certain revenue targets are not met.
We have
an insurance policy covering workers’ compensation claims in states where we
perform services. Estimated accrued liabilities are based on our
historical loss experience and the ratio of claims paid to our historical payout
profiles. Charges for estimated workers’ compensation related losses incurred
and included in cost of sales were $517,697 and $385,927, and $1,429,635 and
$1,296,602, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.
The
nature of our business also subjects us to claims or litigation alleging that we
are liable for damages as a result of the conduct of our employees or
others. We insure against such claims and suits through general
liability policies with third-party insurance companies. Such
policies have limits of $7,000,000 per occurrence for claims related to our
non-aviation business with an additional excess umbrella policy of $5,000,000.
On the aviation related business, we have a policy with a $30,000,000 limit per
occurrence. We retain the risk for the first $25,000 per occurrence
on the non-aviation related policy which includes airport wheelchair and
electric cart operations and $5,000 on the aviation related policy except for
$25,000 for damage to aircraft and $100,000 for skycap
operations. Estimated accrued liabilities are based on specific
reserves in connection with existing claims as determined by third party risk
management consultants and actuarial factors and the timing of reported
claims. These are all factored into estimated losses incurred but not
yet reported to us.
Cumulative
amounts estimated to be payable by us with respect to pending and potential
claims for all years in which we are liable under our general liability
retention and workers’ compensation policies have been accrued
as liabilities. Such accrued liabilities are necessarily based on
estimates; thus, our ultimate liability may
exceed or be less than the accrued amounts. The methods of making
such estimates and establishing the resultant accrued liability are reviewed
continually and any adjustments resulting therefrom are reflected in current
results of operations.

Net Income
per Common Share:
|
Under the
requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings
Per Share,” the dilutive effect of our common shares that have not been issued,
but that may be issued upon the exercise or conversion, as the case may be, of
rights or options to acquire such common shares, is excluded from the
calculation for basic earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share
reflects the additional dilution that would result from the issuance of our
common shares if such rights or options were exercised or converted, as the case
may be, and is presented for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2008
and 2007.
The
nature of our business is such that there is a significant volume of routine
claims and lawsuits that are issued against us, the vast majority of which never
lead to substantial damages being awarded. We maintain general liability and
workers’ compensation insurance coverage that we believe is appropriate to the
relevant level of risk and potential liability. Some of the claims brought
against us could result in significant payments; however, the exposure to us
under general liability is limited to the first $25,000 per occurrence on the
non-aviation, airport wheelchair and electric cart operations related claims and
$5,000 per occurrence on the aviation related claims except for $25,000 for
damage to aircraft and $100,000 for skycap operations. Any punitive
damage award would not be covered by the general liability insurance policy. The
only other potential impact would be on future premiums, which may be adversely
affected by an unfavorable claims history.
In
addition to such cases, we have been named as a defendant in several uninsured
employment related claims that are pending before various courts, the Equal
Employment Opportunities Commission or various state and local agencies. We have
instituted policies to minimize these occurrences and monitor those that do
occur. At this time, we are unable to determine the impact on the financial
position and results of operations that these claims may have, should the
investigations conclude that they are valid.
On
February 12, 2009, we entered into a new $20,000,000 credit facility with Wells
Fargo (the “Credit Agreement”). This new credit facility, which
matures in February 2012, contains customary affirmative and negative covenants,
including, among other things, covenants requiring us to maintain certain
financial ratios. This new facility replaces our existing $16,000,000
revolving credit facility with CIT, and will be used to refinance outstanding
indebtedness under that facility, to pay fees and expenses in connection
therewith and, thereafter, for working capital (including acquisitions), letters
of credit and other general corporate purposes.
The
Credit Agreement provides for a letter of credit sub-line in an aggregate amount
of up to $3,000,000. The Credit Agreement also provides for interest
to be calculated on the outstanding principal balance of the revolving loans at
the prime rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1.50%. For
LIBOR loans, interest will be calculated on the outstanding principal balance of
the LIBOR loans at the LIBOR rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus
2.75%. In addition, the Credit Agreement provides a performance
pricing provision whereby if certain conditions are met (as defined in the
Credit Agreement) the interest rates charged shall be reduced by
0.25%.
Item
2. Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The
following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed
consolidated financial statements and the related notes contained in this
quarterly report.
Forward Looking
Statements
Certain
of our statements contained in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of this quarterly report
and, in particular, those under the heading “Outlook,” contain forward-looking
statements. The words “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,”
“believe,” “plans,” “intend” and “continue,” or the negative of these words or
other variations on these words or comparable terminology typically identify
such statements. These statements are based on our management’s current
expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about the industry in which
we operate generally, and other beliefs of and assumptions made by our
management, some or many of which may be incorrect. In addition,
other written or verbal statements that constitute forward-looking statements
may be made by us or on our behalf. While our management believes
these statements are accurate, our business is dependent upon general economic
conditions and various conditions specific to the industries in which we
operate. Moreover, we believe that the current business environment
is more challenging and difficult than it has been in the past several years, if
not longer. Many of our customers, particularly those that are
primarily involved in the aviation industry, are currently experiencing
substantial financial and business difficulties as a result of a generally poor
economic environment, and the relatively high price of oil and the corresponding
substantial increase in their operating costs in particular. If the
business of any substantial customer or group of customers fails or is
materially and adversely affected by these factors, they may seek to
substantially reduce their expenditures for our services. These
factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from the
forward-looking statements that we have made in this quarterly
report. Further, other factors, including, but not limited to, those
relating to the shortage of qualified labor, competitive conditions, and adverse
changes in economic conditions of the various markets in which we operate, could
adversely impact our business, operations and financial condition and cause our
actual results to fail to meet our expectations, as expressed in the
forward-looking statements that we have made in this quarterly report. These
forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and involve
certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult for us to
predict. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any of these
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise.
As
provided for under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we wish
to caution shareholders and investors that the important factors under the
heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to our fiscal year ended March
31, 2008 could cause our actual results and experience to differ materially from
our anticipated results or other expectations expressed in our forward-looking
statements in this quarterly report.
Critical Accounting Policies
and Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues,
expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We believe
the following critical accounting policies affect the significant estimates and
judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements. Actual results
may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and
conditions.
Principles of
Consolidation
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the
condensed consolidated financial statements.
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States 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 revenue and expenses during the periods
reported. Estimates are used when accounting for certain items such
as allowances for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, income tax
assets and insurance reserves. Estimates are based on historical
experience, where applicable or other assumptions that management believes are
reasonable under the circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty
involved in making estimates, actual results may differ from those estimates
under different assumptions or conditions.
Revenue
Recognition
We record
revenues as services are provided to our customers. Revenues are generated
primarily from our aviation and security services, which we typically bill at
hourly rates. These rates may vary depending on base, overtime and holiday time
worked.
Trade
Receivables
We
periodically evaluate the requirement for providing for billing adjustments
and/or credit losses on our accounts receivable. We provide for billing
adjustments where management determines that there is a likelihood of a
significant adjustment for disputed billings. Criteria used by
management to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts
include, among others, the creditworthiness of the customer, current trends,
prior payment performance, the age of the receivables and our overall historical
loss experience. Individual accounts are charged off against the
allowance as management deems them as uncollectible.
Intangible
Assets
Intangible
assets are stated at cost and consist primarily of customer lists and borrowing
costs that are being amortized on a straight-line basis over three to ten years
and goodwill which is reviewed annually for impairment. The life
assigned to customer lists acquired is based on management’s estimate of the
attrition rate of our customers. The attrition rate is estimated
based on historical contract longevity and management’s operating
experience. We test for impairment annually or when events and
circumstances warrant such a review, if sooner. Any potential
impairment is evaluated based on anticipated undiscounted future cash flows and
actual customer attrition in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets.”
Insurance
Reserves
General
liability estimated accrued liabilities are calculated on an undiscounted basis
based on actual claim data and estimates of incurred but not reported claims
developed utilizing historical claim trends. Projected settlements
and incurred but not reported claims are estimated based on pending claims,
historical trends and data.
Workers’
compensation annual premiums are based on the incurred losses as determined at
the end of the coverage period, subject to minimum and maximum
premium. Estimated accrued liabilities are based on our historical
loss experience and the ratio of claims paid to our historical payout
profiles.
Income
Taxes
Income
taxes are based on income (loss) for financial reporting purposes and reflect a
current tax liability (asset) for the estimated taxes payable (recoverable) in
the current year tax return and changes in deferred taxes. Deferred
tax assets or liabilities are determined based on differences between financial
reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted
tax laws and rates. A valuation allowance is provided on deferred tax
assets if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will
not be realized.
Accounting
for Stock Options
In
December 2002 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No.
148, (“SFAS 148”), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and
Disclosure", an amendment of SFAS No. 123, (“SFAS 123”), “Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation” to provide alternative methods of transition for a
voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based
compensation. Since SFAS 148 was adopted during our fiscal year ended
March 31, 2003, we could elect to adopt any of the three transitional
recognition provisions. We adopted the prospective method of
accounting for stock-based compensation.
In
December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based
Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), which replaced SFAS 123. SFAS 123R requires
all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock
options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values
at grant date and the recognition of the related expense over the period in
which the share-based compensation vests. We were required to adopt
the provisions of SFAS 123R effective July 1, 2005 and use the
modified-prospective transition method. Under the
modified-prospective method, we recognize compensation expense in our financial
statements issued subsequent to the date of adoption for all share-based
payments granted, modified or settled after July 1, 2005. The
adoption of SFAS 123R resulted in a non-cash charge of $108,366 and $218,050 for
stock compensation cost for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. Such non-cash charge would have been the same under the
provisions of SFAS 148.
Results of
Operations
Revenues
Our
revenues increased $2,535,145 and $9,492,572, or 8.4% and 10.7%, for the three
and nine months ended December 31, 2008, respectively, compared with the
corresponding periods of the prior year. The increases in revenues
for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2008 were due mainly
to: (i) expanded security services provided to new and existing
customers, including a major medical center, a New York based hospital center, a
major international commercial bank, a large grocery market distribution center
in California and a company that provides merchandising and distribution
services to a major grocery retailer in New Jersey, resulting in additional
aggregate revenues of approximately $1,500,000 and $7,100,000, respectively;
(ii) the acquisitions of security services businesses in Florida (September
2008) and Maryland (January 2008) that generated aggregate revenues of
approximately $1,500,000 and $2,700,000, respectively; and (iii) expanded
aviation services to new and existing customers at our terminal operations at
Los Angeles International Airport in California and John F. Kennedy
International Airport and LaGuardia Airport in New York, that generated
additional aggregate revenues of approximately $600,000 and $3,400,000,
respectively. The increases in revenues were partially offset
by: (i) the loss of revenues at seven domestic airport locations
resulting from a change in government regulations that requires the
Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”) to provide certain document
verification services that we formerly provided at these airports of
approximately $600,000 and $2,500,000, respectively; and (ii) several of our
airline customers continuing to reduce capacity within their systems which
resulted in reductions of service hours that we provided to such
carriers.
Gross
Profit
Our gross
profit increased by $575,283 and $2,269,717, or 13.9% and 18.7%, for the three
and nine months ended December 31, 2008, respectively, compared with the
corresponding periods of the prior year. The increases in gross
profit for the three and nine month periods resulted primarily
from: (i) the acquisitions of security services businesses in Florida
(September 2008) and Maryland (January 2008); (ii) expanded security services
provided to new and existing customers as described above; (iii) expanded
aviation services provided to new and existing customers at John F. Kennedy
International Airport and LaGuardia Airport in New York and (iv) lower costs
associated with our general liability insurance programs. The
increases in our gross profit were partially offset by the loss to the TSA of
certain document verification services and airline capacity reductions,
described above.
General and Administrative
Expenses
Our
general and administrative expenses increased by $744,406 and $1,444,753, or
22.1% and 14.6%, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2008,
respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of the prior year. The
increases in general and administrative expenses resulted primarily from
higher: (i) administrative payroll and related costs of approximately
$400,000 and $1,100,000, respectively, associated primarily with expanded
operations, including the acquisitions in Florida and Maryland noted above,
additional investment in our sales and marketing group and the addition of a
Chief Executive Officer; (ii) professional and related fees and (iii) insurance
related costs. The increase for the three months ended December 31,
2008 also reflects settlement of an employment related claim. The
increase in our general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended
December 31, 2008 was partially offset by reductions of approximately $175,000
resulting mainly from: (i) lower stock compensation costs; and (ii)
the absence in the current year period of expenses associated with our initial
listing of our common shares on the American Stock Exchange in the prior
year.
Provision for Doubtful
Accounts
The
provision for doubtful accounts decreased by $4,335 for the three months ended
December 31, 2008 and increased $367,090 for the nine months ended December 31,
2008 compared with the corresponding periods of the prior year. The
increase in our provision for doubtful accounts for the nine months ended
December 31, 2008 reflects the recovery of approximately $369,000 attributable
to the value of the stock that we received under our claim related to the
bankruptcy filing of Northwest Airlines in the corresponding period of the prior
year.
We
periodically evaluate the requirement for providing for billing adjustments
and/or credit losses on our accounts receivable. We provide for billing
adjustments where our management determines that there is a likelihood of a
significant adjustment for disputed billings. Criteria used by
management to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts
include, among others, the creditworthiness of the customer, current trends,
prior payment performance, the age of the receivables and our overall historical
loss experience. Individual accounts are charged off against the allowance as
management deems them as uncollectible. We do not know if bad debts
will increase in future periods nor does our management believe that the
increase during the nine months ended December 31, 2008 compared with the
corresponding period of the prior year is necessarily indicative of a
trend.
Interest
Income
Interest
income which principally represents interest earned on: (i) cash
balances and (ii) trust funds for potential future workers’ compensation claims,
decreased for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2008 compared with
the same periods of the prior year as a result of lower trust fund balances due
to favorable trending for potential future workers’ compensation claims, as well
as a reduction in the rate at which interest accrues on such
balances.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense decreased by $81,862 and $255,048 for the three and nine months ended
December 31, 2008, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of the
prior year. The decreases for the three and nine month periods ended
December 31, 2008 were due mainly to lower weighted average interest rates under
our commercial revolving loan agreement.
Equipment
Dispositions
Equipment
dispositions are a result of the sale of vehicles, office equipment and security
equipment at prices above or below book value.
The gains
on equipment dispositions for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 were
primarily due to the disposition of Company vehicles at amounts in excess of
their respective book values.
Provision for income
taxes
Provision
for income taxes increased by $205,000 and $785,000 for the three and nine
months ended December 31, 2008, respectively, compared with the corresponding
periods of the prior year due mainly to the recognition of deferred tax assets
in the prior year periods and increases in our pre-tax earnings for the nine
months ended December 31, 2008.
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
We pay
employees and administrative service clients on a weekly basis, while customers
pay for services generally within 60 days after we bill them. We
maintain a commercial revolving loan arrangement, currently with CIT
Group/Business Credit, Inc. (“CIT”), to fund our payroll and
operations.
Our
principal use of short-term borrowings is for carrying accounts
receivable. Our short-term borrowings have supported the increase in
accounts receivable associated with: (i) our ongoing expansion and organic
growth; (ii) the October 1, 2006 change in a majority of Delta Airline’s billing
and payment terms from monthly invoices prepaid in advance to weekly invoices
due in thirty (30) days and (iii) our acquisitions of Eagle International Group,
LLC and International Security & Safety Group, LLC, Expert Security
Services, Inc. and Brown Security Industries, Inc. on September 12, 2008,
January 1, 2008 and April 12, 2007, respectively. We intend to continue to
use our short-term borrowings to support our working capital
requirements.
We
believe that our existing funds, cash generated from operations, and existing
sources of and access to financing are adequate to satisfy our working capital,
capital expenditure and debt service requirements for the foreseeable future, as
described below under the heading “CIT Revolving Loan.” However, we
cannot assure you that this will be the case, and we may be required to obtain
alternative or additional financing to maintain and expand our existing
operations through the sale of our securities, an increase in our credit
facilities or otherwise. The failure by us to obtain such financing,
if needed, would have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
CIT
Revolving Loan
Until
March 21, 2006, we were parties to a financing agreement (the “Agreement”) with
CIT that had a term of three years ending December 12, 2006 and provided for
borrowings in an amount up to 85% of our eligible accounts receivable, as
defined in the Agreement, but in no event more than $15,000,000. The
Agreement also provided for advances against unbilled revenues (primarily
monthly invoiced accounts) although this benefit was offset by a reserve against
all outstanding payroll checks. Borrowings under the Agreement bore
interest at the prime rate (as defined in the Agreement) plus 1.25% per annum on
the greater of: (i) $5,000,000 or (ii) the average of the net
balances owed by us to CIT in the loan account at the close of each day during
the applicable month for which interest was calculated. Costs to
close the loan totaled $279,963 and are being amortized over the three year life
of the Agreement; as extended (see below).
On March
22, 2006, we entered into an Amended and Restated Financing Agreement with CIT
(the “Amended and Restated Agreement”), which provided for borrowings as noted
above, but in no event more than $12,000,000. The Amended and
Restated Agreement provided for a letter of credit sub-line in an aggregate
amount of up to $1,500,000. Under the Amended and Restated Agreement,
letters of credit were subject to a two percent (2%) per annum fee on the face
amount of each letter of credit. The Amended and Restated Agreement
provided for interest to be calculated on the outstanding principal balance of
the revolving loans at the prime rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated
Agreement) plus .25%, if our EBITDA (as defined in the Amended and Restated
Agreement) was equal to or less than $500,000 for the most recently completed
fiscal quarter; otherwise, the outstanding principal balance bore interest at
the prime rate. For LIBOR loans, interest was calculated on the
outstanding principal balance of the LIBOR loans at the LIBOR rate (as defined
in the Amended and Restated Agreement) plus 2.75%, if our EBITDA was equal to or
less than $500,000 for the most recently completed fiscal quarter; otherwise,
the outstanding principal balance bore interest at the LIBOR rate plus
2.50%.
On April
12, 2007, we entered into an amendment to the Amended and Restated Agreement
(the “Amended Agreement”). Under the Amended Agreement, the aggregate
amount that we could borrow from CIT under the credit facility was increased
from $12,000,000 to $16,000,000, and CIT also provided us with a $2,400,000
acquisition advance to fund the cash requirements associated with the
acquisition of a security services business. Further, the Amended
Agreement extended the maturity date of this credit facility to December 12,
2008, reduced certain fees and availability reserves and increased the letter of
credit sub-line to an aggregate amount of up to $3,000,000. Under the
Amended Agreement, letters of credit are subject to a one and three-quarters
percent (1.75%) per annum fee on the face amount of each letter of
credit. The Amended Agreement provides that interest is calculated on
the outstanding principal balance of the revolving loans at the prime rate (as
defined in the Amended Agreement) less .25%. For LIBOR loans,
interest is calculated on the outstanding principal balance of the LIBOR loans
at the LIBOR rate (as defined in the Amended Agreement) plus 2.0%.
On
October 10, 2008, we amended the Amended Agreement to extend the maturity date
of the CIT credit facility to December 31, 2008 and to reduce the written notice
period required to terminate the Amended Agreement from 60 days to 30
days.
On
November 24, 2008, we amended the Amended Agreement to extend the maturity date
of the CIT credit facility to March 31, 2009. The amendment also
provides for interest to be calculated on the outstanding principal balance of
the revolving loans at prime rate (as defined in the Amended Agreement) plus
3.50%. For LIBOR loans, interest will be calculated on the
outstanding principal balance of the LIBOR loans at the LIBOR rate (as defined
in the Amended Agreement) plus 3.50%. In addition, the Company agreed
to pay CIT a fee (the “Amendment Fee”) in consideration for the extension
provided to the Company under this amendment in the amount of
$20,000. The Amendment Fee is payable as follows: (i) If
the Obligations (as defined in the Amended Agreement) are paid in full on or
before January 31, 2009, the entire Amendment Fee shall be forgiven; (ii) If the
Obligations (as defined in the Amended Agreement) are not paid on or before
January 31, 2009, a portion of the Amendment Fee in the amount of $7,500 must be
paid on or before February 1, 2009; (iii) If the Obligations (as defined in the
Amended Agreement) are paid in full on or before February 27, 2009, then the
unpaid balance of the Amendment Fee shall be forgiven; and (iv) If the
Obligations (as defined in the Amended Agreement) are not paid on or before
February 27, 2009, then the unpaid balance of the Amendment Fee must be paid on
or before March 2, 2009.
As of
December 31, 2008, the interest rate for revolving loans was
6.75%. Closing costs for the Amended Agreement totaled $158,472,
including $125,000 payable to CIT, with $45,000 due at closing, $40,000 due six
months after closing and $40,000 due twelve months after
closing. Legal costs incurred in connection with the transaction were
$33,472. All of these costs are being amortized over the remaining
life of the Amended Agreement.
At
December 31, 2008, we had borrowed $12,418,102 in revolving loans and had
$147,000 of letters of credit outstanding representing approximately 79% of our
maximum borrowing capacity under the Amended Agreement based on our “eligible
accounts receivable” (as defined under the Amended Agreement) as of such
date. However, as our business grows and the amount of eligible
accounts receivable increases (as to which no assurance can be given), up to an
additional $3,434,898 could be available to borrow under the Amended
Agreement.
The
agreements that relate to this facility contain various other financial and
non-financial covenants, including a fixed charge covenant. If we
breach a covenant, CIT has the right to immediately request the repayment in
full of all borrowings under the Amended Agreement. For the nine
months ended December 31, 2008, we were in compliance with all covenants under
the Amended Agreement.
We have
relied on our borrowings from CIT under our credit facility to finance our
working capital requirements and, to a lesser extent, for
acquisitions. During November and December 2008, our management had
discussions with, and received term sheets from a number of financial
institutions with respect to a new credit facility. Based on our
review of the various alternatives presented by these financial institutions and
input received from our management, our board of directors approved the
selection of the proposal for a credit facility from Wells Fargo, National
Association, acting through its Wells Fargo Business Credit operating division
(“Wells Fargo”).
Wells
Fargo Revolving Credit Facility
On
February 12, 2009, we entered into a new $20,000,000 credit facility with Wells
Fargo (the “Credit Agreement”). This new credit facility, which
matures in February 2012, contains customary affirmative and negative covenants,
including, among other things, covenants requiring us to maintain certain
financial ratios. This new facility replaces our existing $16,000,000
revolving credit facility with CIT, and will be used to refinance outstanding
indebtedness under that facility, to pay fees and expenses in connection
therewith and, thereafter, for working capital (including acquisitions), letters
of credit and other general corporate purposes.
The
Credit Agreement provides for a letter of credit sub-line in an aggregate amount
of up to $3,000,000. The Credit Agreement also provides for interest
to be calculated on the outstanding principal balance of the revolving loans at
the prime rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1.50%. For
LIBOR loans, interest will be calculated on the outstanding principal balance of
the LIBOR loans at the LIBOR rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus
2.75%. In addition, the Credit Agreement provides a performance
pricing provision whereby if certain conditions are met (as defined in the
Credit Agreement) the interest rates charged shall be reduced by
0.25%.
Other
Borrowings
During
the nine months ended December 31, 2008, we increased our short-term borrowings
principally to support higher accounts receivable associated with our ongoing
expansion and organic growth.
We have
no additional lines of credit other than described above.
Investing
We have
no present material commitments for capital expenditures.
Working
Capital
Working
capital increased by $767,826 to $6,864,862 as of December 31, 2008, from
$6,097,036 as of March 31, 2008. We experienced checks issued in
advance of deposits (defined as checks drawn in advance of future deposits) of
$585,731 at December 31, 2008, compared with $1,962,314 at March 31, 2008. Cash
balances and book overdrafts can fluctuate materially from day to day depending
on such factors as collections, timing of billing and payroll dates, and are
covered via advances from the revolving loan as checks are presented for
payment.
Outlook
Financial
Results
Future
revenues will be largely dependent upon our ability to gain additional business
from new and existing customers in our security and aviation services divisions
at acceptable margins while minimizing terminations of contracts with existing
customers. Our security services division has started to experience both organic
and transactional growth over recent quarters after a reduction over the past
few years as contracts with unacceptable margins were cancelled. Our
current focus is on increasing revenue while our marketing and sales team and
branch managers work to develop new business and retain profitable contracts.
The airline industry continues to increase its demand for third party services
provided by us; however, several of our airline customers have continued to
reduce capacity within their system which results in reductions of service hours
provided by us to such carriers. Additionally, our aviation services
division is continually subject to government regulation, which has adversely
affected us in the past with the federalization of the pre-board screening
services and most recently with the ongoing federalization of the document
verification process at several of our domestic airport locations.
Our gross
profit margin increased during the nine months ended December 31, 2008 to 14.6%
of revenues compared with 13.6% for the corresponding period last
year. We expect our gross profit margins to average between 14.0% and
15.0% of revenue for fiscal year 2009 based on current business
conditions. Management expects gross profit to remain under pressure
due primarily to continued price competition. However, management
expects these effects to be moderated by continued operational efficiencies
resulting from better management of our cost structures, improved workers’
compensation experience ratings, workflow process efficiencies associated with
our newly integrated financial software system and higher contributions from our
continuing new business development.
Our cost
reduction program is expected to reduce certain of our operating and general and
administrative expenses for both the remainder of fiscal 2009 and future
periods. Additional cost reduction opportunities are being pursued as they are
determined.
The
aviation services division represents approximately 57% of our total revenue,
and Delta, at annual billings of approximately $19,000,000, is the largest
customer of our aviation division representing, on an annual basis,
approximately 25% of the revenues from our aviation services division and 14% of
our total revenues. Due to the existing limitations under the Amended
Agreement with CIT, we have been limited to borrowing against Delta’s accounts
receivable of up to (but not exceeding) approximately $2,060,000, so long as
such accounts do not remain unpaid for more than 60 days from the invoice
date. In the event of a bankruptcy by another airline
customer(s), our earnings and liquidity could be adversely affected to the
extent of the accounts receivable with such airline(s), as well as from lost
future revenues if such airline(s) cease operations or reduce their requirements
from us.
As
described above on February 12, 2009, we entered into a new $20,000,000 credit
facility (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo. As of the close
of business on February 12, 2009, our cash availability was approximately
$4,600,000, which we believe is sufficient to meet our needs for the foreseeable
future barring any increase in reserves imposed by Wells Fargo. We
believe that our existing funds, cash generated from operations, and existing
sources of and access to financing are adequate to satisfy our working capital,
capital expenditure and debt service requirements for the foreseeable future as
described above under the heading “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Wells Fargo
Revolving Credit Facility.” However, we cannot assure you that this
will be the case, and we may be required to obtain alternative or additional
financing to maintain and expand our existing operations through the sale of our
securities, an increase in our credit facilities or otherwise. As of
the date of this quarterly report and for the past several months, the financial
markets generally, and the credit markets in particular, are and have been
experiencing substantial turbulence and turmoil, and extreme volatility, both in
the United States and, increasingly, in other markets worldwide. The
current market situation has resulted generally in substantial reductions in
available loans to a broad spectrum of businesses, increased scrutiny by lenders
of the credit-worthiness of borrowers, more restrictive covenants imposed by
lenders upon borrowers under credit and similar agreements and, in some cases,
increased interest rates under commercial and other loans. If we
require alternative or additional financing at this or any other time, we cannot
assure you that such financing will be available upon commercially acceptable
terms or at all. If we fail to obtain additional financing when and
if required by us, our business, financial condition and results of operations
would be materially adversely affected.
Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures about Market Risk
During
the nine months ended December 31, 2008, we did not hold a portfolio of
securities instruments for either trading or speculative
purposes. Periodically, we hold securities instruments for other than
trading purposes. Due to the short-term nature of our investments, we
believe that we have no material exposure to changes in the fair value as a
result of market fluctuations.
We are
exposed to market risk in connection with changes in interest rates, primarily
in connection with outstanding balances under our revolving line of credit with
Wells Fargo, which was entered into for purposes other than trading
purposes. Based on our average outstanding balances during the nine
months ended December 31, 2008, a 1% change in the prime and/or LIBOR lending
rates could impact our financial position and results of operations by
approximately $25,000 over the remainder of our fiscal year ending March 31,
2009. For additional information on the revolving line of credit with
Wells Fargo, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources –Wells Fargo Revolving
Credit Facility.”
Reference
is made to Item 2 of Part I of this quarterly report, “Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Forward Looking
Statements.”
Item
4. Controls and
Procedures
We
maintain “disclosure controls and procedures”, as such term is defined under
Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that are designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is
recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified
in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
We
believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot
provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met,
and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control
issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been
detected. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to
provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that such controls
and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.
An
evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures. Based on that evaluation and subject to the foregoing,
the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31,
2008. There have been no changes in our internal control over
financial reporting that occurred during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
PART
II. OTHER INFORMATION
