Explanatory Note
Servidyne, Inc. is filing this Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended July 31, 2010, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 14, 2010 (the “Original Quarterly Report”), to restate and recast the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of July 31, 2010, and April 30, 2010, our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three month periods ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three month periods ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, and certain footnote disclosures thereto.
The need to restate the financial statements resulted from an error in the application of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, related to the recoverability of deferred tax assets, which was discovered in March 2011 in connection with the performance of the third quarter 2011 review. During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company moved from a consolidated net deferred tax liability position into a consolidated net deferred tax asset position, which highlighted a potential recoverability issue related to its deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company performed an analysis of recoverability by weighing all positive evidence of recovery against all negative evidence of recovery. Because the Company was in a three-year cumulative book loss position, it was determined that the future earnings projections of the Company over the relatively long net operating loss carryforward period did not represent objectively verifiable positive evidence of recovery, and that the recent historical results were objectively verifiable negative evidence.
The Company determined that it had no exposure to non-recoverability at the federal jurisdiction level due to adequate future taxable income offsetting federal net operating losses through the form of deferred tax liabilities. The exposure to non-recoverability was determined to exist at the state jurisdiction level. As a result of this analysis, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance in the amount of $857,000 on its state deferred tax assets during the quarter ended January 31, 2011, as filed in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the period.
Upon further analysis during April 2011, the Company determined that it had actually entered into the three-year cumulative book loss position in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009. As a result, the Company should not have used future earnings projections to analyze recoverability since the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. The result of this error is that the Company understated its deferred tax asset valuation allowance by approximately $763,000 and $600,000 as of July 31, 2010, and April 30, 2010, respectively. Additionally, the Company understated its net loss by approximately $163,000 and $71,000 for the fiscal quarters ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
In addition, the financial statements have been recast as a result of two items which occurred since the original filing: sales of income-producing properties and a change in segment reporting. To reflect the sales of income-producing properties since the original filing, the assets, liabilities and operating results of the disposed properties have been reclassified in the financial statements as discontinued operations. In addition, the change in segment reporting relates to the discontinuance of the Company’s Real Estate Segment as a result of the sale of the last income-producing property other than the corporate headquarters facility during the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2011. As a result, the book value of the corporate headquarters facility has been reclassified from “Income-Producing Properties, net” to “Property and Equipment, net” on the balance sheets.
See Notes 6, 9, and 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information regarding the recasting and restatement.
The following sections have been amended from the Original Quarterly Report as a result of the recasting and restatement described above:
    Part I — Item 1 — Financial Statements
 
    Part I — Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
    Part I — Item 4 — Controls and Procedures
Pursuant to the rules of the SEC, Item 6 of Part II has also been amended to include the currently dated certifications from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as required by Sections 302 and 906. The certifications of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are attached as Exhibits 31 and 32.
Except as set forth herein, the original filing of the quarterly report has not been amended. The original filing should be read in conjunction with this Amendment No. 1. To the extent not addressed herein or in the original filing, events occurring subsequent to the quarter ended July 31, 2010, have been or will be addressed in the Company’s filings with the SEC for subsequent periods.

SERVIDYNE, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Servidyne, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) was organized under Delaware law in 1960. In 1984, the Company changed its state of incorporation from Delaware to Georgia. The Company’s Building Performance Efficiency (“BPE”) Segment provides comprehensive energy efficiency and demand response solutions, sustainability programs, and other building performance-enhancing products and services to owners and operators of existing buildings, energy services companies, and public and investor-owned utilities.
During the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2011, the Company sold its last owned income-producing property, other than its corporate headquarters facility. As a result, the Company’s Real Estate Segment is no longer considered a reportable segment. Accordingly, the Company has removed all references to the Real Estate Segment from this quarterly report, and will not report results of the Real Estate Segment in future periodic reports. See Note 6 “Segment Reporting” for more information.
NOTE 2. UNAUDITED STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the accompanying disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended April 30, 2010. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.
The Company has made reclassifications related to certain income-producing properties that have been sold in accordance with the guidance now codified as Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-35, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360-35”). As a result of these sales, the Company’s financial statements have been prepared with the results of operations and cash flows of these disposed properties shown as discontinued operations, and the related assets and liabilities presented in the prior periods are currently reflected in discontinued operations on the balance sheets. In addition, the book value of the corporate headquarters building which was previously presented in “Income-Producing Properties, net” is now presented in “Property and Equipment, net” in the balance sheets.

NOTE 3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2009, the FASB reached a consensus on two new pronouncements: Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)—Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, and ASU No. 2009-14, Software (Topic 985)—Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements. ASU No. 2009-13 eliminates the requirement that all undelivered elements must have either (i) vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) or (ii) third-party evidence (“TPE”) of stand-alone selling price before an entity can recognize the portion of the consideration that is attributable to items that already have been delivered. In the absence of VSOE or TPE of the stand-alone selling price for one or more delivered or undelivered elements in a multiple-element arrangement, entities will be required to estimate the selling prices of those elements. Overall arrangement consideration will be allocated to each element (both delivered and undelivered items) based on their relative selling prices, regardless of whether those selling prices are evidenced by VSOE or TPE or are based on the entity’s estimated selling price. The residual method of allocating arrangement consideration has been eliminated. ASU No. 2009-14 modifies the software revenue recognition guidance to exclude from its scope tangible products that contain both software and non-software components that function together to deliver a product’s essential functionality. These new pronouncements are effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of these pronouncements will have on the determination or reporting of the Company’s financial results.
NOTE 4. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has three (3) outstanding types of equity-based incentive compensation instruments in effect with employees, non-employee directors and certain outside service providers: stock options, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock. Most of these equity-based instruments have been granted under the terms of the Company’s 2000 Stock Award Plan (the “2000 Award Plan”). The Company typically uses authorized, unissued shares to provide shares for these equity-based instruments. As of May 1, 2010, no additional awards of equity-based incentive compensation instruments can be granted under the 2000 Award Plan, as the Plan has expired.
For the first quarter ended July 31, 2010, total equity-based compensation expenses were $45,074 and the related income tax benefits were $17,126. Comparatively, for the quarter ended July 31, 2009, total equity-based compensation expenses were $50,298, and the related income tax benefits were $18,908. All of these expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. At July 31, 2010, there were total unrecognized equity-based compensation expenses of $295,197 that are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.8 years.

The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The risk-free interest rate utilized in the Black-Scholes calculation is the interest rate of the U.S. Treasury Bill having the same maturity period as the expected life of the stock option awards. The expected life of the stock options granted is based on the estimated holding period of the awarded stock options. The expected volatility of the stock options granted is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock over the preceding five-year period using the month-end closing stock price.
Compensation expenses related to the vesting of options for the first quarter ended July 31, 2010, were $242 and the related income tax benefits were $92. Comparatively, related compensation expenses for the quarter ended July 31, 2009, were $7,979, and the related income tax benefits were $3,055.

All SARs have a five-year vesting period. Typically, thirty percent (30%) of the SARs will vest on the third (3rd) year anniversary of the date of grant, thirty percent (30%) will vest on the fourth (4th) year anniversary of the date of grant, and forty percent (40%) will vest on the fifth (5th) year anniversary of the date of grant. All SARs have early vesting provisions by which one hundred percent (100%) of the SARs would vest immediately (a) on the date of a change in control of the Company; or (b) if the Company’s stock price were to close at or above a certain price for ten (10) consecutive trading days. For SARs granted prior to the stock dividend that occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the triggering price for early vesting is $19.05 per share. For SARs granted subsequent to the stock dividend that occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the triggering price for early vesting for SARs issued under the 2000 Award Plan is $20.00 per share, and the triggering price for early vesting for SARs not issued under the 2000 Award Plan is $19.05 per share. The maximum contractual term of all SARs is ten (10) years. As of July 31, 2010, 181,500 of the non-vested outstanding SARs, with a weighted average exercise price of $2.13, were “in the money,” whereas none of the vested SARs were “in the money.”

NOTE 6. SEGMENT REPORTING
In recent years the Company disposed of the vast majority of its real estate holdings, selling its last owned income-producing property, other than its corporate headquarters facility, in December 2010 (see Note 9 “Discontinued Operations” for more information). As a result, during the third quarter of fiscal 2011, following authoritative guidance in ASC 280, Segment Reporting, the Company performed a reassessment of the applicable quantitative and qualitative thresholds for segment reporting and determined that the BPE Segment is the Company’s only reportable segment. The Company identified this reportable segment based on internal management reporting and management decision-making responsibilities.

(1)   The “Corporate” net loss in each period was derived from corporate headquarters activities, which consist primarily of the following: rental revenues from tenants in the Company’s corporate headquarters building and related rental and operating costs, salaries and benefits of Corporate Headquarters executive officers and staff, equity-based compensation expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses, and costs related to the Company’s status as a publicly-held company, which include, among other items, legal fees, non-employee directors’ fees, consulting expenses, investor relations expenses, corporate audit and tax fees, Nasdaq listing fees, and other Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and financial reporting costs. All relevant costs related to the business operations of the Company’s BPE Segment are either paid directly by BPE or are allocated to BPE by the Corporate Headquarters. The allocation method is dependent on the nature of each expense item. Allocated expenses include, among other items, accounting services, information technology services, insurance costs, and audit and tax preparation fees.

NOTE 7. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed giving effect to dilutive stock equivalents resulting from outstanding stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. The potential dilutive effect on the number of common shares for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010 was 27,897 shares and 0 shares, respectively. Because the Company had a loss from continuing operations for the quarter ended July 31, 2010, as well as for the quarter ended July 31, 2009, all stock equivalents were anti-dilutive during these periods and, therefore, are excluded when determining the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding.

The Company performed the annual impairment analysis of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2010. The annual analysis resulted in a determination of no impairment. Management considers both positive and negative indicators of impairment on an interim basis. The Company has concluded it was not necessary to perform an interim test of impairment as of July 31, 2010. All of the Company’s goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are assigned to the BPE Segment, which has also been determined to be the reporting unit.
NOTE 9. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On December 15, 2010, the Company sold its owned shopping center in Smyrna, Tennessee, for a sales price of approximately $4.3 million. The sale generated net cash proceeds of approximately $250,000, after deducting approximately $125,000 for closing costs and prorations, and net of the approximately $3.9 million mortgage note, which was assumed by the buyer. The Company recognized a pre-tax loss on the sale of approximately $6,000. Prior to the sale, the Company recorded an impairment loss of approximately $590,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
On June 9, 2010, the Company sold its owned shopping center in Jacksonville, Florida, for a sales price of approximately $9.9 million. The sale generated net cash proceeds of approximately $2 million, after deducting approximately $0.5 million for funding of repair escrows and approximately $0.6 million for closing costs and prorations, and net of the approximately $6.9 million mortgage note, which was assumed by the buyer. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain on the sale of approximately $190,000, including approximately $75,000 in additional pre-tax gain recognized in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2011 as the result of the successful completion of contractual conditions and other cost-basis adjustments.
On January 29, 2010, the Company transferred its approximately $2.0 million interest in an owned office building in Newnan, Georgia, and related assets to the note holder, which satisfied in full the Company’s liability for the approximately $3.2 million remaining balance on the property’s non-recourse mortgage loan. Correspondingly, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately $1.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 as a result of the elimination of the balance of the indebtedness on the property.

NOTE 10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is estimated based on a hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques into three broad levels whereby the highest priority is given to Level 1 inputs, and the lowest priority is given to Level 3 inputs. The three broad categories are:
    Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
    Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices which are observable for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
 
    Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for an asset or liability when little or no market data is available.
In determining fair values, the Company utilizes valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret Level 2 and Level 3 inputs in determining fair value. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the fair values of financial instruments presented in this footnote are indicative of amounts that may ultimately be realized upon sale or disposition of these financial instruments.

Table of Contents

Financial instruments in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements that are measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are (1) executive deferred compensation plan and directors’ deferred compensation plan assets, which are included in “Other Assets” in the condensed consolidated balance sheet; and (2) the corresponding liability owed to the plans’ participants that is equal in value to the plan assets, which is included in “Other Liabilities” in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Given that the plan assets are invested in mutual funds and money market funds for which quoted market prices are readily available, the quoted prices are considered Level 1 inputs. Based on the quoted prices of the related investments, the fair value of the executive deferred compensation plan and directors’ deferred compensation plan assets and the corresponding liability were $912,170 and $947,023 as of July 31, 2010, and April 30, 2010, respectively.
In addition to the financial instruments listed above that are required to be carried at fair value, the Company has determined that the carrying amounts of its cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities.
The Company had a certificate of deposit (“CD”) in the amount of $450,000 as of July 31, 2010, which is included within “Other assets” in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. This CD secures a letter of credit, which is required by the terms of the mortgage on the Company’s corporate headquarters building. Based on the rates currently available on certificates of deposit with similar terms, the CD’s carrying amount approximates its fair value as of July 31, 2010.
Based on the borrowing rates currently available for mortgage notes with similar terms and average maturities, the carrying value of the mortgage notes payable is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair value of mortgage notes payable was $4,323,872 and $4,368,245 as of July 31, 2010, and April 30, 2010, respectively. Based on the borrowing rates currently available for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities, the carrying value of the other debt is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair value of other debt was $1,965,365 and $1,950,109 as of July 31, 2010, and April 30, 2010, respectively.
NOTE 11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company recognized approximately $1,540,000 in revenue for the quarter ended July 31, 2010, from an affiliate of a member of the Board of Directors associated with a contract for energy savings projects. The related accounts receivable and costs and earnings in excess of billings as of July 31, 2010, were approximately $1,100,000 and $970,000, respectively.
NOTE 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is subject to legal proceedings and other claims that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the final outcome of any such matters would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 13. RESTATEMENT OF CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The need to restate the financial statements resulted from an error in the application of ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, related to the recoverability of deferred tax assets, which was discovered in March 2011 in connection with the performance of the third quarter 2011 review. During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company moved from a consolidated net deferred tax liability position into a consolidated net deferred tax asset position, which highlighted a potential recoverability issue related to its deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company performed an analysis of recoverability by weighing all positive evidence of recovery against all negative evidence of recovery. Because the Company was in a three-year cumulative book loss position, it was determined that the future earnings projections of the Company over the relatively long net operating loss carryforward period did not represent objectively verifiable positive evidence of recovery, and that the recent historical results were objectively verifiable negative evidence.
The Company determined that it had no exposure to non-recoverability at the federal jurisdiction level due to adequate future taxable income offsetting federal net operating losses through the form of deferred tax liabilities. The exposure to non-recoverability was determined to exist at the state jurisdiction level. As a result of this analysis, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance in the amount of $857,000 on its state deferred tax assets during the quarter ended January 31, 2011, as filed in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the period.
Upon further analysis during April 2011, the Company determined that it had actually entered into the three-year cumulative book loss position in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009. As a result, the Company should not have used future earnings projections to analyze recoverability since the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. The result of this error is that the Company understated its deferred tax asset valuation allowance by approximately $763,000 and $600,000 as of July 31, 2010, and April 30, 2010, respectively. This understatement resulted in an additional income tax provision of approximately $163,000 and $71,000 for the fiscal quarters ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements, including the notes to those statements, which are presented elsewhere in this report. The Company also recommends that this discussion and analysis be read in conjunction with management’s discussion and analysis section and the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended April 30, 2010.
The following discussion has been updated to reflect the reclassifications discussed in Note 2 “Unaudited Statements” to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company’s financial condition as of July 31, 2010, and April 30, 2010, and the results of operations and cash flows for the quarters ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, have been recast and restated. All information and disclosures in this management’s discussion and analysis have been updated to reflect the effects of such recasting and restatement. For a more detailed description of the recasting and restatement, see Notes 6, 9, and 13 of the Notes to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in this Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended July 31, 2010.
The Company’s fiscal year 2011 will end on April 30, 2011.
OVERVIEW
The Company entered fiscal year 2011 with a backlog at its BPE Segment of approximately $15.4 million, which represents the highest backlog achieved by the BPE Segment in the Company’s history. As a result, BPE generated revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 of approximately $4.8 million, representing a year-over-year increase in BPE revenues of 25% compared to last year’s first quarter, including a 50% year-over-year increase in Energy Savings Projects revenues. Nevertheless, BPE revenues outpaced new orders during the first quarter, leading to a decline in backlog during that period of $1.9 million. BPE backlog as of July 31, 2010, was approximately $13.5 million, which was 12% lower than the backlog at April 30, 2010, but was 64% higher than the backlog at July 31, 2009. BPE’s new order activity strengthened materially once again in August 2010, the first month of the second quarter of fiscal 2011, including the receipt of an award for a $5.8 million project with a state agency for retrocommissioning and related professional services that the Company expects to commence immediately and to substantially complete by the end of calendar year 2011.
The Company believes that the increase in BPE order activity over the last year is a direct result of three (3) distinct factors: the success of the Company’s enhanced sales and marketing efforts, which were initiated in fiscal 2009; an overall improvement in the capital spending environment for many of the BPE Segment’s customers; and the infusion of U.S. government expenditures for energy efficiency upgrades of government facilities. The Company believes that these factors will continue to be favorable for the BPE Segment during the remainder of fiscal year 2011. Management currently expects that the BPE Segment will generate positive EBITDA for the full fiscal year 2011, as revenues remain strong; however, EBITDA on a quarterly basis is more sensitive to fluctuations in the timing of revenues and may not be positive in an individual quarter. Moreover, management believes that a longer period of time will be required before the BPE Segment is able to generate sufficient sustained cash flow to fully fund the Company’s consolidated operations.

Table of Contents

The Company currently anticipates that new order activity will be generated by the BPE Segment’s new product line, Fifth Fuel Management™, over the next several quarters. The BPE Segment has expanded its sales force to offer this new technology-enabled demand response and energy efficiency system to a network of utilities and independent system operators in the U.S., as well as to owners and operators of large commercial office buildings, retail stores, hotels, light industrial facilities and institutional buildings. In February 2010, the Company received its initial multi-year orders for this new offering, and Fifth Fuel Management™ order bookings totaled approximately $800,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. The Company created Fifth Fuel Management™ by expanding its Web-based iTendant® platform to become a real-time, energy optimization and demand response system. The new system was successfully tested at several large luxury hotels during the second quarter of fiscal 2010 in a pilot program for a major U.S. electric utility, implementing the demand response participation by controlling the hotels’ peak time energy usage. Demand response is emerging as a critical tactic to help address the growing imbalance in the supply and demand of generated electric power in the United States. The Company designed Fifth Fuel Management™ to be a cost effective and reliable way for utilities to optimize their customers’ demand response participation and to enable owners and operators of large, complex buildings to maximize the value of their investments in energy efficiency. In addition, the Company expects Fifth Fuel Management™ will provide additional opportunities for sales of the BPE Segment’s existing services and products, which can enable the BPE Segment to leverage its established customer base of building owners and operators to help utilities gain better utilization of their existing energy generating facilities and infrastructures. The Company believes the BPE Segment is now much better positioned to participate in the growing utility market sector, and as a result, anticipates that it will begin generating additional recurring revenues over the next year through new multi-year contracts with utilities. However, the Company’s ability to develop the new Fifth Fuel Management™ offering to its full potential will require additional capital.
To support revenue growth over a longer time horizon, in addition to the inherent potential of the utility market sector, the Company anticipates continued strong BPE order growth from the government sector and from customers in the private sector. The Company’s BPE Segment offers the government sector many of the same offerings provided to private sector customers, including energy savings projects and other energy efficiency-focused products and services, usually by acting as a subcontractor to large energy services company (“ESCO”) partners to provide services to end-user government facilities. Through this channel, the BPE Segment provides services to a wide range of government facilities, including U.S. military bases, federal and state prisons, and large public educational facilities, school districts, and a variety of other federal, state and municipal buildings and facilities. The Company believes that future growth in BPE’s government business should be underpinned by two (2) federal actions: in December 2008, the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) announced a program to fund $80 billion of energy savings performance contracts through sixteen (16) large ESCOs to improve the energy efficiency of government buildings; and in February 2009, President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which is providing an additional approximately $75 billion for the performance of energy efficiency projects in government buildings. The Company has existing business relationships with half of these sixteen (16) selected ESCOs and a long history of providing these exact types of services to the government sector. As a result, the Company believes that it is well positioned to perform a significant amount of these funded projects.
While the potential market demand for the BPE Segment’s offerings appears to be quite promising, there can be no assurance that this will result in sustained revenue growth, particularly if recent macro-economic conditions were to continue, or worsen, for an extended period of time.

Discontinued Operations
In recent years, the Company has generated substantial liquidity from sales of its real estate assets, and the proceeds from such sales largely have been redeployed to fund the establishment and growth of the BPE Segment. In June 2010, the Company successfully closed on the sale of its owned shopping center in Jacksonville, Florida, generating net cash proceeds of approximately $2 million, and in December 2010, successfully closed on the sale of its owned shopping center in Smyrna, Tennessee, generating net cash proceeds of approximately $250,000. (See Note 9 “Discontinued Operations” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information).
As a cumulative result of the real estate asset sales in recent years, the Company’s real estate assets now consist of only its corporate headquarters building in metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia; a commercially-zoned land parcel in North Ft. Myers, Florida; and commercially-zoned land parcels in Oakwood, Georgia. Further, as a result of the disposition in December 2010, the Company’s Real Estate Segment is no longer considered a reportable segment (see Note 6 “Segment Reporting” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information).
Liquidity
Despite the recent successes and achievements described above, the Company’s loss from continuing operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 resulted in significant usage of the Company’s cash, continuing the trend of substantial cash usage to fund operating losses in recent fiscal quarters. Although the BPE Segment generated positive EBITDA and net earnings from operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, and is expected to see improved financial performance during the balance of fiscal year 2011, a longer period of time will be required before the BPE Segment is able to generate sufficient sustained cash flow to fully fund the Company’s consolidated operations. The Company believes that it has, or can obtain, sufficient capital resources to operate its business in the ordinary course until the BPE Segment begins to generate sufficient sustained cash flow to fund the Company’s consolidated operations, which it may seek to obtain using any of the methods described below in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”; however, there can be no assurance that the Company would be successful in the efforts.
Historically, earnings before taxes have been indicative of the BPE Segment’s cash flow before taking into account the timing of receivables and payables. Given the continuing substantial revenue growth and earnings that the Company currently expects the BPE Segment to achieve in the next few fiscal quarters, the timing of when the segment will begin to generate consistent positive cash flow from operations will be dependent on the timing of collections on customer receivables and payments to vendors and suppliers. In addition, there can be no guarantee that the expected substantial revenue growth, positive EBITDA and net earnings from operations at the BPE Segment will actually occur, particularly if recent macro-economic conditions continue, or worsen, for an extended period of time. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” later in this discussion and analysis section for more information.

(1)   BPE backlog at July 31, 2010, increased by approximately $5,255,000, or 64%, compared to the year-earlier period, primarily due to:
  (a)   an increase of approximately $4,580,000 in energy savings (lighting and mechanical) projects;
 
  (b)   approximately $642,000 in backlog from the BPE Segment’s new Fifth Fuel Management TM service offering;
 
  (c)   an increase of approximately $77,000 in energy management consulting services; and
 
  (d)   an increase of approximately $50,000 in lighting products from the Company’s lighting distribution business;
partially offset by:
  (e)   a decrease of approximately $96,000 in productivity software products and services.
BPE backlog includes some contracts that can be cancelled by customers with less than one (1) year’s notice, and assumes that such cancellation provisions will not be invoked. The value of such contracts included in the prior year’s backlog that were subsequently cancelled was approximately $123,000, or 1.5%.
 
(2)   Other backlog represents rental income under lease agreements at the Company’s corporate headquarters building and other leasehold interests.
The Company estimates that a substantial majority of the backlog at July 31, 2010, will be recognized prior to July 31, 2011. No assurance can be given as to future backlog levels or whether the Company will actually realize earnings from revenues that result from the backlog at July 31, 2010.

The Company’s effective rate for income taxes, based upon estimated annual income tax rates, approximated 30.4% of the loss from continuing operations before income taxes for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 and 34.2% for the comparable period in fiscal year 2010. The effective tax rates in both periods reflect the valuation allowances recorded against the Company’s state deferred tax assets as described in Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On December 15, 2010, the Company sold its owned shopping center in Smyrna, Tennessee, for a sales price of approximately $4.3 million. The sale generated net cash proceeds of approximately $250,000, after deducting approximately $125,000 for closing costs and prorations, and net of the approximately $3.9 million mortgage note, which was assumed by the buyer. The Company recognized a pre-tax loss on the sale of approximately $6,000. Prior to the sale, the Company recorded an impairment loss of approximately $590,000 in the condensed consolidated statement of operations in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 (see Note 9 “Discontinued Operations” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information). The Company recognized federal and state tax benefits of approximately $198,000 on the disposition. These tax benefits primarily resulted from the operating losses of the property during the current fiscal year, which included the impairment loss of approximately $590,000 mentioned above.
On June 9, 2010, the Company sold its owned shopping center in Jacksonville, Florida, for a sales price of approximately $9.9 million. The sale generated net cash proceeds of approximately $2 million, after deducting approximately $0.5 million for funding of repair escrows and approximately $0.6 million for closing costs and prorations, and net of the approximately $6.9 million mortgage note, which was assumed by the buyer. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain on the sale of approximately $190,000, including approximately $75,000 in additional pre-tax gain recognized in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2011 as the result of the successful completion of contractual conditions and other cost-basis adjustments (see Note 9 “Discontinued Operations” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information). The Company’s federal and state tax liabilities on the disposition were approximately $94,000. These tax liabilities primarily resulted from the pre-tax gain on the disposition and the operating earnings of the property during the current fiscal year. These tax liabilities were offset by the Company’s net operating loss carry-forwards for tax purposes.

On January 29, 2010, the Company disposed of its interest in its owned office building in Newnan, Georgia. In this transaction, the Company transferred its approximately $2.0 million interest in the property and related assets to the note holder, which satisfied in full the Company’s liability for the approximately $3.2 million remaining balance on the property’s non-recourse mortgage loan. Correspondingly, the Company recognized a non-cash pre-tax gain of approximately $1.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 as a result of the elimination of the balance of the indebtedness on the property. The Company’s federal and state tax liabilities on the disposition were approximately $0.4 million. These tax liabilities primarily resulted from the pre-tax gain on the disposition, partially offset by operating losses of the property during fiscal 2010. These tax liabilities were offset by the Company’s net operating loss carry-forwards for tax purposes.
In accordance with GAAP, the Company’s financial statements have been prepared with the results of operations and cash flows of these disposed properties shown as discontinued operations. All historical statements have been recast in accordance with GAAP.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Between April 30, 2010, and July 31, 2010, the Company’s cash decreased by a total of $126,155, or 7%. The Company’s working capital increased by approximately $978,000, or 28%, between April 30, 2010, and July 31, 2010, which was largely the result of cash proceeds from the sale of real estate of approximately $2 million and by a reduction in trade accounts payable of approximately $1.4 million in the current fiscal year.
The following describes the changes in the Company’s cash from April 30, 2010, to July 31, 2010:
Operating activities used cash of approximately $1,994,000, primarily as a result of:
  (a)   current year losses from continuing operations before depreciation, amortization, and income taxes of approximately $1,154,000;
 
  (b)   an increase in other current and long-term assets of approximately $436,000; and
 
  (c)   a net decrease in trade accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities of approximately $1,330,000;
 
  partially offset by: 
 
  (d)   an increase in billings in excess of costs and earnings of approximately $426,000; and
 
  (e)   a decrease in net accounts receivable of approximately $494,000.
Investing activities used cash of approximately $94,000, primarily as a result of:
  (a)   approximately $69,000 used for additions to intangible assets, primarily related to enhancements to the BPE Segment’s proprietary building productivity technology solutions; and
 
  (b)   approximately $28,000 used for additions to property and equipment, primarily related to computer hardware purchases.

32


Table of Contents

Financing activities used cash of approximately $66,000 primarily for:
  (a)   scheduled principal payments on mortgage notes related to the corporate headquarters building of approximately $29,000; and
 
  (b)   payment of the regular quarterly cash dividends to shareholders of approximately $37,000.
Discontinued operations provided cash of approximately $2,028,000, primarily as a result of the sale of an income-producing property.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, operating activities used approximately $1,994,000 of cash, primarily due to the operating loss and the reduction in accounts payable, partially offset by a reduction in accounts receivable. The significant BPE Segment backlog at July 31, 2010, and the increased order activity as discussed above are expected to result in substantially higher revenues in fiscal 2011, and management believes that the BPE Segment will be able to generate positive cash flow from operations during the year as a result. However, management believes that a longer period of time will be required before the BPE Segment is able to generate sufficient sustained cash flow to fully fund the Company’s consolidated operations. Recent growth in the BPE Segment’s business has strained the Company’s capital resources. However, the Company believes that it has sufficient capital resources on hand to operate its business in the ordinary course for the next twelve (12) months. The Company also currently believes that it has, or can obtain, sufficient capital resources to continue to operate its business in the ordinary course until the BPE Segment begins to generate sufficient cash flow to fund the Company’s consolidated operations, although there can be no guarantee that this will be the case, particularly if the macro-economic conditions experienced in recent fiscal years continue for an extended period of time, or worsen.
Achieving sufficient positive cash flow from the operations of the BPE Segment to fund the Company’s consolidated operations will depend on the occurrence of a number of assumed factors, including the timing and volume of additional revenues generated by new material contracts, which historically have been difficult to predict, and the timing of collections of customer receivables and payments to vendors and suppliers. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve sufficient positive cash flow to fund the Company’s consolidated operations through BPE Segment operations in the near term, or at all.
The Company historically has generated substantial liquidity from the periodic sales of real estate assets, and the proceeds from such sales largely have been redeployed to fund the establishment and growth of the BPE Segment. In June 2010, the Company successfully closed on the sale of its owned shopping center in Jacksonville, Florida, generating net cash proceeds of approximately $2 million. Most recently, in December 2010 the Company successfully closed on the sale of its owned shopping center in Smyrna, Tennessee, generating net cash proceeds of approximately $250,000. As a cumulative result of real estate asset sales in recent years, the Company’s real estate assets now consist of only the corporate headquarters building in metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia; a commercially-zoned land parcel in North Ft. Myers, Florida; and commercially-zoned land parcels in Oakwood, Georgia. Given the declines in commercial real estate markets and asset valuations in the United States in recent years, the Company may be unable to sell any of its remaining real estate assets at acceptable prices, or at all, in the near future.

The Company in recent years has not utilized bank lines of credit for operating purposes and does not currently have in place any such line of credit. As of July 31, 2010, the Company had drawn $982,000 in loans against its interest in the cash surrender value of certain life insurance policies; however, there is currently minimal additional borrowing capacity left under such policies.
In the event that currently available cash, cash generated from operations, and cash generated from real estate sales were not sufficient to meet future operating cash requirements, the Company would need to sell additional real estate or other assets at potentially otherwise unacceptable prices, seek external debt financing or refinancing of existing debt, seek to raise funds through the issuance of equity securities, or limit growth or curtail operations to levels consistent with the constraints imposed by the available cash and cash flow, or any combination of these options. Depending on the form of such additional capital, the equity interests of the Company’s existing shareholders could be diluted as a result. In addition, the development of the BPE Segment’s Fifth Fuel Management® service offering to its full potential will require the investment of additional capital, which the Company may seek to raise through outside sources or the sale of assets.
The Company’s ability to secure debt or equity financing or to sell real estate or other assets, whether for normal working capital and capital expenditure purposes or for development of the Fifth Fuel Management® service offering, could be limited by economic and financial conditions at any time, but likely would be severely limited by credit, equity and real estate market conditions similar to those that have existed in recent years. Management cannot provide assurance that any reductions in planned expenditures or curtailment of operations would be sufficient to cover potential shortfalls in available cash, or that debt or equity financing or real estate or other asset sales would be available on terms acceptable to management, if at all, in which event the Company could deplete its capital resources before achieving sufficient sustained cash flow to fully fund consolidated operations, and as a result might be obliged to explore strategic alternatives for its business.
Capital Expenditures
The Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures. However, the Company does expect that total capital spending in fiscal year 2011 will approximate $790,000, including BPE Segment expenditures of approximately $510,000 for proprietary BPE software solutions and approximately $240,000 for property and equipment, and Corporate expenditures of approximately $40,000. Of these forecasted amounts, approximately $75,000, or 10%, of the BPE Segment expenditures were already expended during the first quarter of the fiscal year. No significant amounts of the forecasted Corporate expenditures were expended during the first quarter of the fiscal year.
Significant Uses of Cash
Significant uses of cash in the future are anticipated to be regular scheduled principal payments of the corporate headquarters building mortgage note and other long-term debt, capital expenditures for property and equipment, capital expenditures for enhancing BPE’s proprietary technology solutions, funding collateral for performance bonds when required by energy savings projects contracts, and the regular cash operating requirements of corporate headquarters. The Company’s uses of cash are not expected to change materially in the near future.

Mortgage Notes and Other Long-Term Debt
The Company currently has one (1) mortgage note on long-term real estate assets in the approximate amount of $4.2 million and two (2) other long-term debt obligations in the approximate aggregate amount of $1.0 million. The mortgage loan contains a provision that requires a corporate subsidiary to maintain a net worth of at least $2 million. The subsidiary referred to in this mortgage loan provision had a net worth of approximately $16.4 million as of July 31, 2010. None of the Company’s other long-term debt obligations have any financial or non-financial covenants. The mortgage note matures on August 1, 2012.
The cash principal payment obligations during the next twelve (12) months related to the Company’s long-term debt are expected to be approximately $273,000.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A critical accounting policy is one which is both important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial position and results of operations, and requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. In preparing these financial statements, the Company has made its best estimates and used its best judgments regarding certain amounts included in the financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. The application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and the use of assumptions regarding future uncertainties, and as a result, actual results could differ from those estimates. Management believes that the Company’s most critical accounting policies include:
Revenue Recognition
Revenues derived from implementation, training, support, and base service license fees from customers accessing the Company’s proprietary building productivity software on an application service provider (“ASP”) basis are recognized when all of the following conditions are met: there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; service has been provided to the customer; the collection of fees is probable; and the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed and determinable. The Company’s license arrangements do not include general rights of return. Revenues are recognized ratably over the contract period, which is typically no longer than twelve (12) months, beginning on the commencement date of each contract. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and in revenue or deferred revenue, depending on the timing of when the revenue recognition criteria have been met. Additionally, the Company defers such direct costs and amortizes them over the same time period as the revenue is recognized.
Energy management services are accounted for separately and are recognized as the services are rendered. Revenues derived from sales of proprietary building productivity software solutions (other than ASP solutions) and hardware products are recognized when the software solutions and products are sold.
Energy savings project revenues are reported on the percentage-of-completion method, using costs incurred to date in relation to estimated total costs of the contracts to measure the stage of completion. Original contract prices are adjusted for change orders in the amounts that are reasonably estimated. The nature of the change orders usually involves a change in the scope of the project, for example, a change in the number or type of units being installed. The price of change orders is based on the specific materials, labor, and other project costs affected. Contract revenue and costs are adjusted to reflect change orders when they are approved by both the Company and its customer for both scope and price. For a change order that is unpriced; that is, the scope of the work to be performed is defined, but the adjustment to the contract price is to be negotiated later, the Company evaluates the particular circumstances of that specific instance in determining whether to adjust the contract revenue and/or costs related to the change order. For unpriced change orders, the Company will record revenue in excess of costs related to a change order on a contract only when the Company deems that the adjustment to the contract price is probable based on its historical experience with that customer. The cumulative effects of changes in estimated total contract costs and revenues (change orders) are recorded in the period in which the facts requiring such revisions become known, and are accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method. At the time it is determined that a contract is expected to result in a loss, the entire estimated loss is recorded. Energy efficient lighting product revenues are recognized when the products are shipped.

Long-Lived Assets: Property & Equipment and Capitalized Software
The Company’s corporate headquarters building and related assets are stated at historical cost or, if the Company determines that impairment has occurred, at fair market value, and are depreciated for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the respective estimated useful lives. Significant additions that extend asset lives are capitalized and are depreciated over their respective estimated useful lives. Normal maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.
Other property and equipment are recorded at historical cost and are depreciated for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.
The Company’s most significant tangible long-lived assets are the corporate headquarters building and related assets. The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company examines long-lived assets for such indications of impairment on a quarterly basis. The types of events and circumstances that might indicate impairment include, but are not limited to, the following:
    A significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset;
 
    A current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset;
 
    The Company has received purchase offers at prices below carrying value;
 
    A real estate asset that has a significant vacancy rate or significant rollover exposure from one or more tenants;
 
    A major tenant experiencing financial difficulties that may jeopardize the tenant’s ability to meet its lease obligations; and
 
    Depressed market conditions.
When there are indicators of impairment, the recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset against the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. The Company estimates future undiscounted cash flows using assumptions regarding occupancy, counter-party creditworthiness, costs of leasing including tenant improvements and leasing commissions, rental rates and expenses of the property, as well as the expected holding period and cash to be received from disposition. The Company has considered all of these factors in its undiscounted cash flows.
The BPE Segment has long-lived assets that consist primarily of capitalized software costs, classified as intangible assets, net on the balance sheet, as well as a portion of the property and equipment on the balance sheet. Software development costs are accounted as required for software in a Web hosting arrangement. Software development costs that are incurred in a preliminary project stage are expensed as incurred. Costs that are incurred during the application development stage are capitalized and reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Capitalization ceases when the computer software development project, including testing of the computer software, is substantially complete and the software product is ready for its intended use. Capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of the product.

37


Table of Contents

Events or circumstances which would trigger an impairment analysis of these long-lived assets include:
    A change in the estimated remaining useful life of the asset;
 
    A change in the manner in which the asset is used in the income generating business of the Company; or
 
    A current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses, or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset.
Long-lived assets in the BPE Segment are grouped together for purposes of impairment analysis, as assets and liabilities of the BPE Segment are not independent of one another. Annually at the end of the fiscal third quarter, unless events or circumstances occur in the interim as discussed above, the Company reviews its BPE Segment’s long-lived assets for impairment. Future undiscounted cash flows of the segment, as measured in its goodwill impairment analysis, are used to determine whether impairment of long-lived assets exists in the BPE Segment.
Valuation of Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed for impairment annually at the end of the fiscal third quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying basis of an asset may not be recoverable. All of the Company’s goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are assigned to the BPE Segment, which has also been determined to be the reporting unit.
The Company performed the annual impairment analysis of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for the BPE Segment in the quarter ended January 31, 2010. The annual analysis resulted in a determination of no impairment. Management considers both positive and negative indicators of impairment on an interim basis. The Company has concluded it was not necessary to perform an interim test of goodwill impairment as of July 31, 2010.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and to tax loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company periodically reviews its deferred tax assets (“DTA”) to assess whether it is more likely than not that a tax asset will not be realized. The realization of a DTA ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income. A valuation allowance is established against a DTA if there is not sufficient evidence that it will be realized. The Company weighs all available evidence in order to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that a DTA will be realized in a future period. The Company considers general economic conditions, market and industry conditions, as well as internal Company specific conditions, trends, management plans, and other data in making this determination.

38


Table of Contents

Evidence considered is weighted according to the degree that it can be objectively verified. Reversals of temporary differences are weighted with more significance than projections of future earnings of the Company.
Positive evidence considered includes, among others, the following: deferred tax liabilities in excess of DTA, future reversals of temporary differences, Company historical evidence of not having DTAs expire prior to utilization, and long carryforward period remaining for net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards.
Negative evidence considered includes, among others, lack of cumulative taxable income in recent years, and the fact that the current real estate market conditions and lack of readily available credit could make it difficult for the Company to trigger gains on sales of real estate.
The valuation allowance currently recorded against the DTA for state NOL carryforwards was recorded because of a lack of sufficient positive evidence to support its realization due to the recent dispositions of real estate assets and recurring losses. .
The Company will have to generate $6.1 million of taxable income in future years to realize the federal NOL carryforwards and an additional $25.4 million of taxable income in future years to realize the state NOL carryforwards. These amounts of taxable income would allow for the reversal of the $3.1 million DTA related to NOL carryforwards. There is a long carryforward period remaining for the NOL carryforwards. The oldest federal NOL carryforwards will expire in the April 30, 2024, tax-year, and the most recent federal NOL carryforwards will expire in the April 30, 2031, tax-year. The significant state NOL carryforwards will also expire between the April 30, 2024, and April 30, 2031, tax years. The Company has no material permanent book/tax differences.
The Company has no material uncertain tax position obligations. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense (benefit) in the consolidated statement of operations.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management has evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this report. This evaluation was carried out with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. No system of controls, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the system of controls are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that the system of controls has operated effectively in all cases. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, however, are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met.
Based on management’s evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer initially concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of the end of the period covered by this report, to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures were met.

However, as a result of the identification of the issue that caused the restatement described in Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements and management’s determination that there is a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in the area of accounting for income taxes, as described below, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have subsequently concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of July 31, 2010.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. However, management is currently in the process of implementing changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting to remediate the material weakness related to the Company’s accounting for income taxes described below, which resulted in the restatement described in Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s financial statement will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal controls. The restatement of the Company’s financial statements resulted from an error in the timing of recording a valuation allowance for its state deferred tax assets in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, related to the recoverability of the deferred tax assets, as more fully described in Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Amendment 1. Management believes that this error constitutes a material weakness in the design of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in the area of accounting for income taxes and has begun to take the following steps to remediate the deficiency:
    develop and implement additional procedures to increase the level of review, evaluation and validation of the Company’s valuation of deferred tax assets; and
 
    increase the level of knowledge among Company employees in the area of accounting for income taxes.
In doing both of the above, the Company expects that it will be in a position to place less reliance on third-party tax professionals.
The management of the Company is committed to a strong internal control environment, and believes that, when fully implemented, these remediation actions will represent significant improvements. The remediation actions are not expected to result in material costs to the Company. Management anticipates completing this remediation effort before the 2011 Annual Report is filed in July 2011.
