TABLE OF CONTENTS
Part I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Servidyne, Inc. (i) provides comprehensive energy efficiency solutions, sustainability programs,
and other building performance-enhancing products and services to companies that own and operate
buildings; and (ii) engages in commercial real estate investment and development.
The term Company refers to Servidyne, Inc. and its subsidiaries and predecessors, unless the
context indicates otherwise, and the term Parent or Parent Company refers solely to Servidyne,
Inc.
The Company was organized under Delaware law in 1960 to succeed to the business of A. R. Abrams,
Inc., which was founded in 1925 by Alfred R. Abrams as a sole proprietorship. In 1984, the Company
changed its state of incorporation from Delaware to Georgia. In fiscal 2007, the Company changed
its name from Abrams Industries, Inc. to Servidyne, Inc.
The Company operates through two segments: Building Performance Efficiency (BPE) and Real Estate.
Further information on the businesses of the Companys operating segments is discussed below.
Financial information for the segments is set forth in Note 14 to the consolidated financial
statements of the Company.
In June 2008, Atlantic Lighting & Supply Co., LLC, (ALS, LLC) a newly formed and wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, acquired the business and assets of Atlantic Lighting & Supply Co.,
Inc. ALS, LLC, is a distributor of cutting-edge energy efficient lighting products, and is now
part of the BPE Segment.
BUILDING PERFORMANCE EFFICIENCY (BPE) SEGMENT
The BPE Segment provides comprehensive energy efficiency solutions, sustainability programs, and
other building performance-enhancing products and services to companies that own and operate
buildings. The BPE offerings are strategic programs and services that enable customers to optimize
the short-term and long-term financial performance of their building portfolios, while reducing
greenhouse gas emissions and improving the comfort and satisfaction of their buildings occupants.
The Company conducts such operations under the names Servidyne Systems, LLC, The Wheatstone Energy
Group, LLC, and Atlantic Lighting & Supply Co., LLC. The BPE Segments offerings include the
following:
|
|
|
The BPE Energy Solution is designed to help building owners and operators substantially
reduce energy consumption
and cut utility and operating costs. Major elements include: energy modeling; energy audits;
building retro-
commissioning; LEED® and ENERGY STAR® certifications; comprehensive preventive maintenance of
energy-
consuming equipment; turn-key design and implementation of energy-saving lighting systems; and
retrofits of
mechanical and electrical systems. |
|
|
|
|
The BPE Environmental Sustainability Solution is designed to help building owners and
operators identify and transform
wasteful and inefficient buildings into cost-effective and environmentally sustainable
facilities. Major elements include:
energy and sustainability audits; benchmarking and utility monitoring; retro-commissioning of
existing systems;
efficiency improvements to energy conversion and water consuming building assets; and other
efficiency improvements
that extend the lives of building infrastructures and equipment. |
|
|
|
|
The BPE Occupant Satisfaction Solution is designed to help building owners and operators measurably improve the
comfort level and satisfaction of their tenants, guests and employees. Major elements include:
proprietary Web/
wireless systems to manage guest and tenant service requests; identification of low-cost and
no-cost operating
efficiency improvements; technical staff training; more consistent control of building
temperature and humidity
conditions; and improved reliability of building systems and controls. |
The BPE Segment focuses its marketing and sales activities on owners and operators of corporate,
commercial office, hospitality, gaming, retail, light industrial, distribution, healthcare,
government, education and institutional buildings and facilities; and energy service companies
(ESCOs). The primary geographic focus for the business is the United States, although the Company
does business internationally as well. Contracts and services are primarily obtained through
negotiations with customers, but may also be obtained through competitive bids on larger energy
savings and infrastructure upgrade projects.
REAL ESTATE SEGMENT
The Real Estate Segment has engaged in real estate activities since 1960. These activities
primarily involve the acquisition, development, redevelopment, leasing, asset management,
ownership, and sale of shopping centers, office buildings and land in the Southeast and Midwest.
The Company uses third-party property managers and leasing agents for all of its retail and office
properties. The Company conducts its real estate operations through its real estate subsidiaries,
Abrams Properties, Inc., AFC Real Estate, Inc., and their respective affiliates.
The Company currently owns two shopping centers that it acquired. These shopping centers are held
as long-term investments and may be marketed for sale at a future time that the Company determines
to be appropriate. See ITEM 2. PROPERTIESOwned Shopping Centers. In July 2007, the Company sold
its shopping centers located in Columbus, Georgia, and Orange Park, Florida, at a gain. The
Company is a lessee and sublessor of one retail center that was
2
developed and sold by the Company, leased back to the Company, and then subleased to Kmart
Corporation. See ITEM 2. PROPERTIESLeaseback Shopping Center. In July 2007, the Company sold
its leasehold interest in another such retail center located in Jacksonville, Florida, at a gain.
In addition, the Company owns two office properties. See ITEM 2. PROPERTIESOffice Buildings.
The Company also owns two tracts of undeveloped commercially zoned land. See ITEM 2.
PROPERTIESReal Estate Held for Future Development, Lease, or Sale. In March 2008, the Company
gave a deed in lieu of condemnation for a portion of its undeveloped land (approximately 1.8
acres) located in Oakwood, Georgia, which resulted in a gain. For income tax purposes, this
transaction is considered an involuntary conversion under Section 1033 of the Internal Revenue
Code, which allows for tax deferral on the gain if the Company acquires a qualified replacement
property by April 30, 2011. The Company currently intends to use the net proceeds from this
transaction to acquire an additional income-producing property. There can be no assurance,
however, that the Company will be able to successfully complete such acquisition.
EMPLOYEES AND EMPLOYEE RELATIONS
At April 30, 2008, the Company employed 78 salaried employees and 5 hourly employees. The Company
believes that its relations with its employees are good.
SEASONAL NATURE OF BUSINESS
The businesses of the BPE and Real Estate segments generally are not seasonal. However, certain
retail customers of the BPE Segment may choose to delay the implementation of energy savings and
infrastructure projects during the peak winter holiday shopping season.
COMPETITION
The markets in which the Company operates are highly competitive. The BPE Segments competition is
widespread and ranges from multi-national firms to local and regional companies. The Real Estate
Segment also operates in a competitive environment, with numerous parties competing for available
properties, tenants, capital and investors.

(1) |
|
The decrease in BPE backlog of approximately $2,197,000 or 23%, was primarily due to: |
|
(a) |
|
a decrease of approximately $2,038,000 in infrastructure upgrade and energy savings
projects that primarily related to customer
delays; and |
|
|
(b) |
|
a decrease of approximately $583,000 in energy
management services;
|
|
|
|
|
offset by: |
|
|
(c) |
|
an increase of approximately $424,000 in building productivity products and services. |
|
|
The Company estimates that the BPE backlog at April 30, 2008, will be fully recognized as
revenue prior to April 30, 2009, with the exception of approximately $674,000 or 9.4%, primarily
because certain energy management services contract terms extend longer than one year. |
|
|
|
Backlog amounts include some contracts that can be cancelled with less than one years notice,
and assumes cancellation provisions will not be invoked. The amount of such cancelled contracts
included in the prior years backlog was approximately $208,000 or 2%. |
(2) |
|
The decrease in Real Estate backlog of approximately $795,000 or 21%, was primarily due to: |
|
(a) |
|
the inclusion in the fiscal 2007 backlog of rental revenues of approximately $304,000
generated by the Companys former leaseback
shopping center located in Jacksonville, Florida, as this property was subsequently sold; and |
|
|
(b) |
|
the inclusion in fiscal 2007 backlog of rental revenues of approximately $547,000 related
to the expiration in January 2008 of a third
party lease at the Companys headquarters building in Atlanta, Georgia;
|
|
|
|
|
offset by: |
|
|
(c) |
|
higher rental revenues of approximately $56,000 related to successful leasing activities
at the Companys headquarters building
and the other properties. |
(3) |
|
Represents rental income at the Companys headquarters building to be paid to the Real Estate
Segment over the next twelve months
by the Parent Company and the BPE Segment. |
|
|
|
Other than as noted above, the Company estimates that the Real Estate backlog at April 30, 2008,
will be recognized prior to April 30, 2009. 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 April 30, 2008. |

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The following factors, together with other matters described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K,
should be considered in evaluating the Company. Any of the following potential risks, if actually
realized, could result in a materially negative impact on the Companys business and financial
results. In such an event, the trading price of the Companys stock could be negatively impacted.
Risks Related to the Company
The Companys business depends on the success of its relatively new building performance
efficiency offerings. If the Company fails to grow these offerings, its prospects could be
adversely affected.
In the past several years, the Company has undergone a fundamental change in its primary focus by
transitioning away from commercial construction to its current position as a provider of building
performance-enhancing services to commercial real estate owners and operators, through the BPE
Segment. While the Real Estate Segment is still an important contributor to the Companys revenues,
earnings and cash flows, it is not the primary element of the Companys growth strategy. The
Company intends to dedicate most of its future capital resources and management attention to
growing the BPE Segment.
This BPE Segment differs in some substantial ways from the Companys former commercial
construction business, and from the business of the Real Estate Segment. For instance, several
important offerings of the BPE Segment are information technology (IT) oriented, which
represents a departure from the Companys legacy businesses.
4
The Companys ability to implement its growth strategy will depend upon a variety of factors that
are not entirely within its control, including:
|
|
|
the ability to add new products and services to the BPE Segment, and the ability to keep current products and
services competitive; |
|
|
|
|
the ability to make profitable business acquisitions and the ability to integrate such acquired businesses into existing
operations; |
|
|
|
|
the hiring, training and retention of qualified personnel; |
|
|
|
|
the establishment of new relationships or expansion of existing relationships with customers and suppliers; and |
|
|
|
|
the availability of capital. |
To date, the BPE Segment has not contributed substantially to the Companys net earningsin fact,
it has yet to achieve sustained profitability. In light of the relative newness of this segment to
the Company, and the absence of a proven track record of sustained profitability, the Company
cannot guarantee that its growth strategy will be successful. If the Companys growth strategy were
unsuccessful, its revenues, earnings, stock price, and the Company as a whole could be adversely
affected.
The Company is redeploying a portion of its capital previously invested in the Real Estate Segment
to grow the BPE Segment. The Company cannot guarantee that the return, if any, on investing these
resources in the new segment will exceed the return that might otherwise be achievable from the
Real Estate Segment.
The Company intends to dedicate the majority of its capital resources to growing the BPE Segment
rather than the Real Estate Segment. Over the past several years, the Company has redeployed some
of its capital previously invested in the Real Estate Segment (primarily through sales of
income-producing properties) to the BPE Segment.
As noted above, the BPE segment does not have a proven track record of sustained profitability, in
contrast to the Real Estate Segment, which has historically been consistently profitable and has
been the primary source of the Companys net earnings in recent years. Accordingly, the Company
cannot guarantee that the return on its investment in the BPE Segment, if any, will compare
favorably to the results that might be achievable otherwise if the Company were to reinvest its
capital resources entirely in the Real Estate Segment (or in any other line of business). If the
Companys efforts to grow the BPE Segment do not prove to be successful, the investment of this
capital could be lost, which could have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial
position.
In recent years, net earnings have been driven significantly by capital gains from sales of real
estate income-producing properties. Without such capital gains recurring in the future, the
Company might not be profitable.
The Companys net earnings in recent years have been driven primarily by significant capital gains
from sales of income-producing real estate properties. Although some of the proceeds of these sales
have been reinvested in new real estate properties, a significant portion of the proceeds from
these sales has been redeployed to growing the BPE Segment. Other proceeds from these sales have
been distributed to shareholders as dividends. As a result, in recent years the Companys real
estate dispositions have exceeded its acquisitions, and in light of the Companys focus on growing
the BPE Segment, the Company anticipates that this trend is likely to continue. Consequently, real
estate capital gains cannot be depended upon as a primary source for the Companys long-term
profitability.
Because of these factors, the Companys net earnings in the future, unlike its net earnings over
the past several years, likely will not result primarily from real estate dispositions. In
addition, to the extent that the proceeds from real estate dispositions are not redeployed in
acquiring new income producing real estate properties, another source of earningsrental income
could be negatively impacted. Accordingly, in order for the Company to maintain or improve its net
earnings in the future, the BPE Segment will need to be expanded to produce consistent net
earnings. There can be no guarantee, however, that the BPE Segment will be able to produce net
earnings, if any, sufficient to match the contribution to the Companys profitability that has
resulted from the Real Estate Segment in the past several years, particularly in light of the BPE
Segments lack of a consistent track record of sustained profitability.
If the Company cannot find suitable business acquisition candidates or integrate completed
business acquisitions successfully, its prospects could be adversely affected.
In addition to organic growth, the Companys strategy includes growth through business
acquisitions. The Companys BPE Segment, to which the Company is dedicating most of its capital
resources and attention, was established through several business acquisitions in recent years. The
Company competes for acquisition opportunities with other companies that have significantly greater
financial resources. Therefore, there is a risk that the Company may be unable to complete an
acquisition that it determines to be important to the growth strategy, because another company may
be able to pay more for a potential acquisition candidate or may be able to use its financial
resources to acquire a potential acquisition candidate before the Company can obtain any requisite
financing for such acquisition.
5
Part I (continued)
Even if the Company completes a desirable business acquisition on favorable terms, the Company may
not be able to successfully integrate on a timely basis any newly-acquired company into existing
operations. Integration of a substantial business is a challenging, time-consuming and costly
process. It is possible that the acquisition itself or the integration process could result in the
loss of the acquired companys management or other key employees, the disruption of the acquired
companys business, or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that could
adversely affect the acquired companys ability to maintain good relationships with its suppliers,
customers and employees.
In addition, successful integration of an acquired company requires the dedication of significant
management resources that may temporarily detract attention from the Companys and the acquired
companys day-to-day business. If management is not able to integrate the organization, operation
and systems of an acquired company in a timely and efficient manner, the anticipated benefits of a
completed acquisition may not be fully realized.
The Company is dependent upon key personnel and the loss of any such key personnel could adversely
impair the Companys ability to conduct its business. In addition, the implementation of the
Companys growth strategy will require the addition of suitable personnel.
One of the Companys objectives is to develop and maintain a strong management team at all levels.
At any given time, the Company could lose the services of key executives or other key employees.
Other than one employee, none of the key executives or other key employees is currently subject to
employment agreements or contracts. The loss of services of any key personnel could have an
adverse impact upon the Companys results of operations, financial condition, and managements
ability to execute its business strategy. If the Company were to lose a member of its senior
management team, the Company might be required to incur significant costs in identifying, hiring
and retaining a replacement for the departing executive.
In addition, the growth of the BPE Segment will require the addition of qualified personnel. Some
of the offerings of this segment, such as energy engineering, sales, and the IT-oriented products
and services, may require personnel with special skills who are in high demand in the employment
marketplace. The Company competes for such personnel with some companies with much greater
resources. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to attract and hire such personnel or retain
them in the face of better offers from larger competitors.
The Company is subject to changing regulations regarding corporate governance and required public
disclosure that have increased both the costs of compliance and the risks of noncompliance. As a
small public company, these costs of compliance may affect the Company disproportionately as
compared with larger competitors.
As a public company, the Company is subject to rules and regulations by various governing bodies,
including the Securities and Exchange Commission, NASDAQ, and the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board, which are charged with the protection of investors and the oversight of companies
whose securities are publicly traded. The Companys efforts to comply with these regulations, most
notably the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or SOX, may result in increased general and
administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from earnings-generating
activities to compliance activities.
The Company has complied with the SOX requirements involving the assessment of its internal
controls over financial reporting, which requirements went into effect for the Company for its
fiscal year ending April 30, 2008, and the remaining requirements are expected to be put into
effect for the Company in fiscal years ending on April 30, 2009, and April 30, 2010. The efforts
to comply with the SOX requirements will continue to require the commitment of significant
financial and management resources.
In addition, because these laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations,
their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance becomes available. This
evolution may result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters, and additional costs
necessitated by ongoing revisions to the Companys disclosure and governance practices. If the
Company fails to satisfactorily address and comply with these regulations and any subsequent
revisions or additions, the business may be adversely impacted.
Moreover, many of the compliance costs of SOX and similar rules and regulations are not in direct
proportion to the size of a particular company. As a small public company, these costs might
affect the Company disproportionately, particularly in comparison to its larger public
competitors. The Company may also be at a disadvantage vis-à-vis public company compliance costs
compared with its privately held competitors that are not subject to the same regulations.
Risks Related to the Companys BPE Segment
Failure to adequately expand the BPE Segments sales force may impede its growth.
The BPE Segment is dependent on its direct sales force to obtain new customers, particularly large
enterprise customers, and to manage its existing customer base. The Company competes in a very
competitive marketplace for sales personnel with the advanced sales skills and technical knowledge
the Company requires. The BPE Segments ability to achieve significant growth in revenues from BPE
services in the future will depend, in large part, on the Companys success in recruiting,
training, motivating and retaining a sufficient number of qualified sales personnel. New personnel
requires
6
significant training. The Companys recent hires and planned new hires might not turn out to be as
productive as the Company would like, and the Company might be unable to hire a sufficient number
of qualified individuals in the future in the markets where the Company conducts or desires to
conduct its business. If the Company were unable to hire and develop a sufficient number of
qualified and productive sales personnel, the sales of the BPE Segment could be adversely
impacted, and as a result, the Companys growth could be impeded.
As more of the BPE Segments sales efforts are targeted at larger enterprise customers, its sales
cycle may become longer and more expensive, it may encounter pricing pressure and implementation
challenges, and the Company may have to delay revenue recognition with respect to certain sales to
these customers, all of which could harm the BPE Segments business.
The BPE Segment is concentrating on obtaining larger enterprise customers. As the Company targets
more of these customers, the Company anticipates potentially facing greater selling costs, longer
sales cycles, and less predictability in closing some of its sales. In this market segment, the
customers decision to use the Companys BPE products and services may be an enterprise-wide
decision, and if so, these types of sales would require the Company to provide greater levels of
education to prospective customers regarding the use and benefits of its building
performance-enhancing products and services. In addition, larger customers may demand more
customization, enhanced integration services, and additional product features and services. As a
result of these factors, BPE sales opportunities may require the Company to devote greater sales
support and professional services resources to individual customers, driving up the costs and time
required to close sales, and diverting selling and professional services resources to a smaller
number of larger transactions, while at the same time requiring the Company to delay revenue
recognition on some of these transactions until the technical or implementation requirements have
been met. In addition, larger enterprise customers may seek volume discounts and price concessions
that could make these transactions less profitable. Because of these factors, the risk of not
closing a sale with a larger enterprise customer may be greater than with smaller customers, and
the results of such potential failure, due to higher costs and fewer overall ongoing sales
initiatives, also can be greater. Moreover, the bargaining power of larger enterprise customers
may result in lower profit margins on BPE revenues.
A portion of the BPE Segments revenues are derived from fixed price contracts, which could result
in losses on some contracts.
A portion of the BPE Segments revenues and current backlog is based on fixed price or fixed unit
price contracts that involve risks relating to the Companys potential responsibility for the
increased costs of performance under such a contract. Generally, under fixed price or fixed unit
price contracts, any increase in the Companys unit cost not caused by a modification or
compensable change to the original contract, whether due to inflation, inefficiency, faulty
estimates or other factors, is absorbed by the Company. There are a number of other factors that
could create differences in contract performance, as compared to the original contract estimate,
including, among other things, differing facility conditions, availability of skilled labor in a
particular geographic location, and availability of materials.
The BPE Segment often utilizes subcontractors in performing services or completing projects, whose
potential unavailability or unsatisfactory performance could have a material adverse effect on the
Companys business.
The Company often utilizes unaffiliated third-party subcontractors in order to perform some of its
energy engineering and consulting services, much of its energy savings maintenance, installation
and retrofit projects, and most of its other construction-related projects and services. As a
consequence, in order to offer these services, the BPE Segment depends on the continuing
availability of, and satisfactory performance by, such subcontractors. There may not be sufficient
availability of such subcontractors at the times needed or in the markets in which the BPE Segment
operates, or the quality of work by such subcontractors may prove to be below acceptable
standards. In addition, the subcontractors may be unable to qualify for payment and performance
bonds to ensure their performance or may be otherwise inadequately capitalized. Insurance
protection for construction defects, if any, available to subcontractors is increasingly expensive
and may become unavailable, and the scope of such protection may become greatly limited. If as a
result of such subcontractor problems or failures, the Company were unable to meet its contractual
obligations to its customers or were unable to successfully recover sufficient indemnity from its
subcontractors or their bond or insurance carriers, the Company could suffer losses which could
decrease its net income, damage its customer relations, significantly harm its reputation, and
otherwise have a material adverse effect on its business.
The Company could be exposed to environmental liability related to the disposal of hazardous
materials.
A key offering of the Companys BPE Segment is replacing older existing lighting systems in
commercial, industrial and other types of facilities with newer energy efficient lighting systems.
The removal of old lighting systems can often involve the removal, handling and disposal of
hazardous materials. As noted previously, various federal, state and local laws govern the
handling of hazardous materials. Compliance with these regulations can be costly. If the Company
were to fail to comply, it could face liability from government authorities or other third
parties. Even in cases where the Company subcontracts the disposal of such materials, the Company
could face potential liability. Not only could judgments, fines or similar penalties for
environmental noncompliance negatively affect the Companys financial position, the reputation of
the BPE Segment and the Companys other businesses could be harmed as well.
7
Part I (continued)
If the BPE Segments security measures were breached, and as a result unauthorized access is
obtained to a customers data, the offerings of the BPE Segment could be perceived as not being
sufficiently secure, customers might curtail or stop using the BPE Segments products and services,
and the BPE Segment could incur significant losses and liabilities.
The BPE Segments proprietary software solutions involve the storage of customers data and
information, whether locally on the customers own computers or on the Companys computers in the
case of the BPE Segments ASP offerings and one of its older legacy products. These products and
services also involve the transmission of such data and information in the case of the ASP and the
older legacy products. Security breaches could expose the Company to a risk of loss of this data
and information, potential litigation and possible liability. If security measures were breached
as a result of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise, during transfer of
data and information to data centers or at any time, and, as a result, someone were to obtain
unauthorized access to any customers data and information, the Companys reputation might be
damaged, its business might suffer, and it might incur significant losses and liability. Because
techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage computer systems change frequently
and generally are not recognized until after being launched against a target, the BPE Segment
might be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. If
an actual or perceived breach of security were to occur, the market perception of the
effectiveness of the BPE Segments security measures could be harmed and the BPE Segment could
lose sales and customers.
The BPE Segment is dependent on the assistance of its customers to complete projects on a timely
basis. If a customer were unable or unwilling to offer assistance, it could affect project
timelines and reduce or slow the collection of energy savings revenues.
Much of the work performed by the BPE Segment requires significant interaction with its customers.
Therefore, the Company must have its customers full cooperation to complete projects on a timely
basis. In the early stages of a project, the Company is at risk to customers not providing
accurate or timely data for project implementation. Also, the Company must frequently access
customer facilities, the restriction of which could delay or prevent the completion of projects.
Risks Related to the Companys Real Estate Segment
The Companys ownership of commercial real estate involves a number of risks, including general
economic and market risks, leasing risk, uninsured losses and condemnation costs, and
environmental issues, the effects of which could adversely affect the Companys real estate
business.
The market for purchasing and leasing of commercial real estate is affected by general economic and
market risks.
The Companys assets might not generate income sufficient to pay expenses, service debt, and
adequately maintain its real estate properties. Several factors may adversely affect the economic
performance and value of the properties. These factors include, among other things:
|
|
|
Changes in the national, regional and local economic climate; |
|
|
|
|
Local conditions such as an oversupply of properties or a reduction in demand for properties; |
|
|
|
|
The attractiveness of the properties to prospective tenants; |
|
|
|
|
Competition from other available properties; |
|
|
|
|
Changes in market rental rates; and |
|
|
|
|
The need to periodically repair, renovate and re-lease space. |
The performance of the Real Estate Segment also depends on the ability to collect rent and expense
reimbursements from tenants, and to pay for adequate maintenance, insurance and other operating
costs (including real estate taxes), which costs could increase over time. Also, the expenses of
owning and operating a property are not necessarily reduced when circumstances such as market
factors and competition cause a reduction in income from the property. If a property is mortgaged
and the Company is unable to generate sufficient rental income to cover the mortgage payments, the
lender could foreclose on the mortgage and take the property. In addition, capital market
conditions, the availability and cost of financing, insurance costs, changes in laws and
governmental regulations (including those governing usage, zoning, environmental, and property
taxes), other uncontrollable operating costs, and financial distress or bankruptcies of tenants
could adversely affect the Companys financial condition.
8
Operating revenues in the Real Estate Segment are dependent upon entering into multi-year leases
with tenants and collecting rents from tenants. National, regional and local economic conditions
might adversely impact tenants and potential tenants in the various marketplaces in which the
Companys properties are located, and accordingly, could affect the tenants ability to continue
to pay rents and possibly to continue to operate in their leased space. Tenants sometimes
experience bankruptcies, and pursuant to the various bankruptcy laws, leases may be rejected and
thereby terminated prematurely. When leases expire or are terminated, replacement tenants may or
may not be available with acceptable terms and conditions. In addition, the Companys cash flows
and results of operations could be adversely impacted if existing leases were to expire or be
terminated, and at such time, market rental rates were lower than the previous contractual rental
rates.
The Companys commercial properties could be subject to uninsured losses and condemnation costs.
Accidents, floods and other losses at the Companys properties could materially adversely affect
the Companys operating results. Casualties may occur that significantly damage an operating
property, and insurance proceeds, if any, may be materially less than the total loss incurred by
the Company. Property ownership also involves potential liability to third parties for such
matters as personal injuries occurring on a property. The Company, however, maintains casualty and
liability insurance under policies that management believes to be customary and appropriate. In
addition to uninsured losses, various government authorities may condemn all or part of an
operating property or undeveloped land. Such condemnations could adversely affect the commercial
viability of such property.
Compliance with environmental laws could adversely affect the Company.
Environmental issues that could arise at the Companys real estate properties could have an
adverse effect on the Companys financial condition and results of operations. Federal, state and
local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment may require a current or
previous owner or operator of real estate to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic
substances or petroleum product releases at a property. The property owner or operator might have
to pay a governmental entity or third party for property damage and for investigation and clean-up
costs incurred by such parties in connection with such contamination. These laws typically impose
clean-up responsibility and liability without regard to whether the owner or operator previously
knew of or caused the presence of the contaminants. Even if more than one person might have been
responsible for the contamination, each person covered by the environmental laws might be held
responsible for all of the clean-up costs incurred. In addition, third parties might sue the owner
or operator of a site for damages and costs resulting from environmental contamination emanating
from that site. Currently, the Company is not aware of any environmental liabilities at its
properties that it believes would have a material adverse effect on its business, assets,
financial condition or results of operations. Unidentified environmental liabilities could arise,
however, and could have an adverse effect on the Companys financial condition and results of
operations.
Any failure to sell income-producing properties on a timely basis could adversely affect the
Companys results of operations.
The Companys Real Estate Segment typically holds real estate assets until such time as it
believes to be optimal to sell them. Normally, this will be during relatively strong real estate
markets. However, factors beyond the Companys control could make it necessary for the Company to
attempt to dispose of real estate properties during weak real estate markets. Following a period
when the market values of the Companys real estate assets were to fall significantly, the Company
could be required to sell real estate assets at a time when it may be inopportune to do so or be
subject to a valuation impairment. Further, markets for real estate assets usually are not highly
liquid, which can make it particularly difficult to realize acceptable selling prices when
disposing of real estate assets during weak markets.
The Company might not be able to refinance its income-producing properties on a timely basis or on
acceptable terms.
The Company may incur debt from time to time to finance acquisitions, capital expenditures, or for
other purposes. A propertys current leasing status, physical condition, net operating income,
global, national, regional or local economic conditions, financial market conditions, the level of
liquidity available in real estate markets, the Companys financial position, the terms and
conditions or status of the Companys other real estate or corporate loans, or other prior
financial commitments could impair the Companys ability to refinance real estate properties at
the times when such refinancing might be necessary. Moreover, such refinancing might not be
available upon acceptable terms, including in respect of loan principal amounts, interest rates,
amortization schedules, or maturity terms.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company, through its Real Estate Segment, owns its corporate headquarters building, which
contains approximately 65,880 square feet of leasable office space. The building is located in the
North x Northwest Office Park, 1945 The Exchange, in suburban Atlanta, Georgia. The Company and

25,928 square feet of offices leased by Servidyne entities, another 9,341 square feet is leased to
unaffiliated tenants and 30,611 square feet is currently vacant and for lease. In addition, the
Company, through its BPE Segment, leases 5,000 square feet of space for a warehouse through a
lease that currently expires in March 2009. In conjunction with the acquisition of Atlantic
Lighting & Supply Co., Inc., the Company assumed a lease for 25,654 square feet for office and
warehouse space through a lease that currently expires in May 2010.
As of April 30, 2008, the Company owned or had an interest in the following real properties:

LEASEBACK
SHOPPING CENTER
The Company, through its Real Estate Segment, has a leasehold interest in one retail building that
it developed, sold to an unrelated third party, and leased back from such party under a lease
currently expiring in 2014. The center is subleased by the Company entirely to Kmart Corporation.
The Kmart sublease provides for contingent rentals if sales exceed specified predetermined
amounts, and the sublease has eight remaining five-year renewal options. The Companys lease with
the fee owner contains renewal options coextensive with Kmarts renewal options on the sublease.
Kmart, under its sublease, is responsible for insurance and ad valorem taxes, but has the right to
offset against contingent rentals for any ad valorem taxes paid in excess of specified amounts. In
fiscal 2008, the Company did not recognize any contingent rental from the leaseback shopping
center. The Company is responsible for structural and roof maintenance of the building. The
Company is also responsible for underground utilities, parking lots and driveways, except for
routine upkeep which is the responsibility of the subtenant. The Companys lease contains
exculpatory provisions, which limit the Companys liability for payments to its interest in the
lease.

There is no debt encumbering these land parcels. The Company will either develop the properties or
will continue to hold them for future sale or lease to others.
For further information on the Companys real estate properties, see Notes 4, 6, 8, and 16 to the
consolidated financial statements, and SCHEDULE IIIREAL ESTATE AND ACCUMULATED DEPRECIATION.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As previously reported, the Company announced in July 2003 that an internal investigation had
revealed information suggesting that certain improprieties in violation of federal laws may have
taken place at the now discontinued Construction Segment. The Company voluntarily communicated the
results of its investigation to the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), which promptly
issued a conditional letter of amnesty to the Company and its subsidiaries for their cooperation
in recognizing and then immediately reporting the irregularities. On July 9, 2008, the DOJ
informed the Company that it does not intend to proceed further with the matter and is closing its
investigation.
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that may arise from time to time in
the ordinary course of business. While the occurrence or resolution of such 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 Companys financial position or results of operations.

Adjusted for stock dividend. |
The Common Stock of Servidyne, Inc. is traded on the Nasdaq Global Market (Symbol: SERV). The
approximate number of holders of Common Stock was 630 (including shareholders of record and shares
held in street name) as of June 30, 2008.
On April 24, 2008, the Company granted Mr. George Plattenburg 52,500 stock appreciation rights
(SARs) (amount adjusted for stock dividend) as a material inducement for him to join the
Companys subsidiary, Servidyne Systems, LLC, as its Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
These SARs have an exercise price of $5.00 per share (adjusted for stock dividend), and have the
same 5-year vesting provisions as the recent SARs grants described in Note 2(R) to the
Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and upon vesting
will be exercisable for shares of the Companys Common Stock. The SARs were not issued in a sale
to Mr. Plattenburg within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, but such issuance
would have been exempt from registration in any event pursuant to Section 4(2) of such Act.
The information required by this item with respect to its equity compensation plan will be
included in the Companys definitive proxy materials for its 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders,
to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, under the heading Equity Compensation
Plan, and is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
The Company has two operating segments: BPE and Real Estate. The Company continues to add new
products and service offerings to the BPE Segment, which may come in part from future business
acquisitions.
In RESULTS OF OPERATIONS below, changes in revenues, costs and expenses, and selling, general and
administrative expenses from period to period are analyzed on a segment basis. For net earnings and
similar profit information on a consolidated basis, please see ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA or
the Companys consolidated financial statements. Pursuant to SFAS 144, the figures in the following
charts for all periods presented do not include Real Estate Segment revenues, costs and expenses,
and selling, general and administrative expenses associated with certain formerly owned
income-producing properties, which have been sold; such amounts have been reclassified as
discontinued operations (See Critical Accounting PoliciesDiscontinued Operations later in this
discussion and analysis section.) In addition, the figures in the following charts do not include
the revenues and costs and expenses generated by certain sales of real estate assets held for sale
or future development, although the gains on these sales are included in the results from
continuing operations and are discussed later in this discussion and analysis section.

On a dollar basis, BPE costs and expenses increased by approximately $1,398,000 or 17% for
fiscal 2008, compared to the same period in fiscal 2007, primarily as a result of the corresponding
increase in revenues and from changes in the mix of services and products. |
|
|
|
In the current year, fiscal 2008, BPE costs and expenses as a percentage of revenues increased by
4%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2007, primarily due to: |
|
a) |
|
the recognition of approximately $454,000 in revenue from a consulting services contract
in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 that had no associated costs and expenses; and |
|
|
b) |
|
changes in the mix of services and products. |
|
|
|
|
|
In the prior year, fiscal 2007, BPE costs and expenses, as a percentage of revenues, increased by
5%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2006, primarily due to: |
|
a) |
|
increased costs associated with the conversion of customers to the Companys Web/wireless
building productivity software solutions and the amortization of capitalized software costs; and |
|
|
b) |
|
the recognition of costs related to one infrastructure upgrade and energy savings project
that had a lower gross margin compared to other such jobs. |
|
|
|
(2) |
|
In the current year, fiscal 2008, costs and expenses on a dollar basis decreased by
approximately $214,000 or 9%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2007, primarily due to: |
|
a) |
|
the absence of lease costs of approximately $228,000 as a result of the sale of the
Companys leaseback shopping center located in Jacksonville, Florida, which was sold in July 2007; |
|
|
b) |
|
the absence of lease costs of approximately $213,000 as a result of the sale of the
Companys leaseback shopping center located in Richfield, Minnesota, which was sold in March 2007;
and |
|
|
c) |

|
In the current year, fiscal 2008, BPE SG&A expenses on a dollar basis increased by
approximately $423,000 or 9%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2007, primarily due to higher
sales and marketing expenses. |
|
|
|
In the prior year, fiscal 2007, BPE SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased by 2%,
compared to the same period in fiscal 2006, primarily because the increase in revenues did not
result in a corresponding proportional increase in SG&A expenses. |
|
|
|
In the prior year, fiscal 2007, BPE SG&A expenses on a dollar basis increased by approximately $228,000 or 5%, compared to the
same period of fiscal 2006, primarily due to higher sales and marketing expenses. |

|
In the prior year, fiscal 2007, Real Estate SG&A expenses on a dollar and percentage basis

sales and marketing efforts; |
|

|
|
|
|
partially offset by: |
|
|
d) |
|
an increase in consulting fees of approximately $73,000, primarily as a result of the
implementation of the Information Technology portion of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 and the

|
|

Fiscal 2008
There were no acquisitions in fiscal 2008.
Fiscal 2007
On March 12, 2007, Newnan Office Plaza, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired an
office building located in Newnan, Georgia. The Company used the net cash proceeds from the sale of
its shopping center located in Morton, Illinois, and from the sale of its leaseback interest in a
shopping center located in Richfield, Minnesota, as well as interim bank financing of $2.5 million,
to purchase the income-producing property for approximately $4.25 million, including the costs
associated with completing the transaction. The acquisition was structured in order to qualify the
sale for tax deferral under Internal Revenue Code Section 1031. On June 1, 2007, the interim bank
financing was replaced by a permanent mortgage in the amount of $3.2 million.
On February 12, 2007, Abrams Orange Park, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired
the land and building associated with the Companys leaseback shopping center located in Orange
Park, Florida. The Companys lease with the owner of the land and building was terminated in
connection therewith. The Company used net cash proceeds of approximately $1.83 million from the
sale of its former manufacturing and warehouse facility, and approximately $1.03 million of
additional cash to purchase the income-producing property for approximately $2.86 million,
including costs associated with completing the transaction. The acquisition was structured in order
to qualify the sale for tax deferral under Internal Revenue Code Section 1031.
On July 14, 2006, Stewartsboro Crossing, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired a
shopping center located in Smyrna, Tennessee. The Company used net cash proceeds from the sale of

income-producing property for approximately $5.27 million, including the costs associated with
completing the transaction. On September 8, 2006, the Company replaced its interim bank financing
with a permanent mortgage in the
amount of $4.1 million. The acquisition was structured in order to qualify the sale for tax
deferral under Internal Revenue Code Section 1031.

GAINS ON SALE OF REAL ESTATE HELD FOR SALE OR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
Fiscal 2008
On March 28, 2008, in lieu of a formal condemnation, the City of Oakwood, Georgia, acquired
approximately 1.8 acres of the Companys undeveloped land located in Oakwood, Georgia, for
$860,000, which generated a pre-tax gain on the sale of approximately $581,000. For income tax
purposes, the Company treated this transaction as an involuntary conversion under Section 1033 of
the Internal Revenue Code, which allows for tax deferral of the gain if the Company acquires a
qualified replacement property by no later than April 30, 2011. The Company currently intends to
use the net proceeds from this sale to acquire an income-producing property. There can be no
assurance, however, that the Company will be able to successfully complete such acquisition.
Fiscal 2007
On April 26, 2007, the Company sold an outlot located in North Fort Myers, Florida, for a price of
$925,000, resulting in a pre-tax gain on the sale of approximately $335,000. After selling
expenses, the sale generated net cash proceeds of approximately $842,000.
On August 29, 2006, the Company sold its former manufacturing and warehouse facility located in
downtown Atlanta, Georgia, for a price of $2.05 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain on the sale of
approximately $1.55 million. After selling expenses, the sale generated cash proceeds of
approximately $1.87 million. The Company used the net proceeds from
18
this sale to re-acquire the land and building associated with its shopping center in Orange Park,
Florida, which qualified the sale under Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 for federal income tax
deferral.
Fiscal 2006
On April 28, 2006, the Company sold a 7.1 acre outlot in North Fort Myers, Florida, for a price of
approximately $2.4 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain on the sale of approximately $1.2 million.

On December 22, 2005, the Company sold a 4.7 acre tract of land in Louisville, Kentucky, for a
price of approximately $270,000, resulting in a pre-tax gain on the sale of approximately $184,000.
After selling expenses, the sale generated cash proceeds of approximately $265,000.
On October 28, 2005, the Company sold an outlot located in North Fort Myers, Florida, for a price
of $625,000, resulting in a pre-tax gain on the sale of approximately $296,000. After selling

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Fiscal 2008
On July 31, 2007, the Company sold: its leasehold interest in the land and its owned shopping
center building located in Columbus, Georgia; and its owned shopping center located in Orange Park,
Florida; for a total combined price of $5.24 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain on the sales of
approximately $2.32 million. After selling expenses, these sales generated net cash proceeds of
approximately $4.94 million. In addition, the Company purchased its minority partners interests in
the Columbus, Georgia, shopping center by
utilizing two notes payable totaling approximately $400,000. In December 2007, the Company paid off
one of the notes in the amount of approximately $160,000; the second note is recorded on the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet as current maturities of long-term debt. The Companys
federal tax liability on the gains related to the sales is approximately $1.5 million, which will
be offset with the Companys net operating loss carry-forwards for tax purposes.
On December 13, 2007, the Company sold its owned office park located in Marietta, Georgia, for a
price of $10.3 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain on the sale of approximately $2.085 million.
After selling expenses and repayment of the mortgage loan and associated costs, the sale generated
cash proceeds of approximately $3.4 million. The Company intended to use the net proceeds from this
sale to acquire an income-producing property, which would have qualified the sale under Internal
Revenue Code Section 1031 for federal income tax deferral, and therefore initially placed the
proceeds with a qualified third party intermediary in connection therewith. However, the Company
did not complete such acquisition, and therefore the proceeds were released from the intermediary
to the Company on June 11, 2008. The Companys federal tax liability on the gain related to the
sale is approximately $1.8 million, which will be offset by the Companys net operating loss
carry-forwards for tax purposes.
Fiscal 2007
On November 1, 2006, the Company sold its owned shopping center located in Morton, Illinois, for a
price of $3.55 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain on the sale of approximately $3.48 million.
After selling expenses, repayment of the mortgage loan and associated costs, the sale generated net
cash proceeds of approximately $1.72 million. The Company used the net cash proceeds from this sale
in the acquisition of its office building located in Newnan, Georgia, which qualified the sale
under Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 for federal income tax deferral.
Fiscal 2006
On January 30, 2006, the Company sold its medical office building in Douglasville, Georgia, for a
price of $5.5 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain on the sale of approximately $1.38 million.
After selling expenses and the repayment of the mortgage note payable, the sale generated cash
proceeds of approximately $2.5 million. On July 14, 2006, the Company used the proceeds in the
acquisition of the shopping center located in Smyrna, Tennessee, which qualified the sale for
federal income tax deferral under Internal Revenue Code Section 1031.

proceeds of approximately $140,000. The Company
19

|
|
|
|
partially offset by: |

Georgia, and Orange Park, Florida.
The Company anticipates that its existing cash balances, equity, proceeds from potential sales of
real estate, cash flows provided by the potential financing or refinancing of debt obligations, and
cash flows generated from operations will, for the foreseeable future, provide adequate liquidity
and financial flexibility for the Company to meet its needs for working capital, capital
expenditures, and investment activities.
In June 2008, the Company acquired the operating business, substantially all of the assets, and
assumed certain liabilities of Atlantic Lighting and Supply Company, Inc. for a purchase price of
approximately $1.6 million. The consideration consisted of 17,381 newly-issued shares of the
Companys Common Stock, with a fair value of $100,000, the assumption of approximately $572,000 of
liabilities, a promissory note in the amount of $100,000, and approximately $861,000 in cash,
including direct acquisition costs.

required to provide for potential future tenant improvement costs and lease commissions at that
property by providing additional collateral, in the form of a letter of credit, in the amount of:
$150,000 from July 17, 2002, through July 16, 2005; $300,000 from July 17, 2005, through July 16,
2008; and $450,000 from July 17, 2008, through August 1, 2012. The letter of credit is secured by

a certificate of deposit, which is recorded on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, as of
April 30, 2008, and April 30, 2007, as a long-term other asset.

Regularly scheduled principal amortization and interest payments and final payments due upon
maturity. In computing interest expense, the Company used the applicable contractual rate. All of
the mortgage notes payable are fixed rate debt instruments. The Companys liability for repayment
of each of these mortgages is limited by exculpatory provisions to its interest in the respective
mortgaged properties. |
|
(2) |
|
Future minimum rental payments on the leaseback shopping center. The Companys liability for
payment under this lease is limited to its interest in the leaseback. |
|
(3) |
|
In computing interest expense related to variable rate debt, a coupon rate of 6.5% (prime rate
at April 30, 2008, plus 1.5%) was used for all periods, and for fixed rate debt, the applicable
contractual rate was used for all periods. |
EFFECTS OF INFLATION ON REVENUES AND OPERATING PROFITS
The effects of inflation upon the Companys operating results are varied. Inflation in recent years
has been modest and has had minimal effect on the Company.
The Building Performance Efficiency (BPE) Segment generally has contracts that are renewed on an
annual basis. At the time of renewal, contract fees may be increased by either the consumer price
index as stated in the contract or subject to customer approval. As inflation affects the Companys
costs, primarily personnel, the Company could seek a price increase for its contracts in order to
protect its profit margin. Also, the BPE Segment typically engages in contracts of short duration
with fixed prices, which normally will minimize any erosion of its profit margin due to inflation.
In the Real Estate Segment, several of the anchor retail tenant leases are long-term (original
terms of 20 or more years), with fixed rents, and some of retail leases have contingent rent
provisions by which the Company may earn additional rent as a result of increases in tenants sales
in excess of specified predetermined targets. In some cases, however, the contingent rent
provisions permit the tenant to offset against contingent rents any portion of the tenants share
of ad valorem taxes that is above a specified predetermined amount. If inflation were to rise, the
tenants sales could increase, potentially generating contingent rent, but ad valorem taxes would
probably increase as well, which, in turn, could cause a decrease in the contingent rents.
Furthermore, the Company has certain repair and maintenance obligations, and the costs of repairs
and maintenance generally increase with inflation.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A critical accounting policy is one that is both important to the portrayal of the Companys
financial position and results of operations, and requires the Company to make estimates and
assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the accompanying 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 Companys most critical accounting policies include:
21
Part II (continued)
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenues derived from implementation, training, support and base service license fees from
customers accessing the Companys proprietary building productivity software solutions on an
application service provider (ASP) basis is determined according to the provisions of the
Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104, Revenue Recognition, and
Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple
Deliverables. Accordingly, for these sources of revenues, the Company recognizes revenue when all of the
following conditions are met: there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; service has been
provided to the customer; the collection of fees is probable; and the amount of fees to be paid by
the customer is fixed and determinable. The Companys license arrangements do not include general
rights of return. Revenues are recognized ratably over the contract terms beginning on the
commencement date of each contract. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts
receivable and in revenue or deferred revenue, depending on the timing of when the revenue
recognition criteria have been met. Additionally, the Company defers the related direct costs and
amortizes them over the same time period as the revenue is recognized. Professional services and
other revenues, when sold with subscription and support offerings, are accounted for separately
when these services have value to the customer on a stand-alone basis and there is objective and
reliable evidence of the fair value of each deliverable. For revenue arrangements with multiple
deliverables, such as an arrangement that includes subscription, support, consulting or training
services, the Company allocates the total amount that the customer will pay to the separate units
of accounting based on their relative fair value, as determined by the price of the undelivered
items when sold separately. In determining whether the consulting services can be accounted for
separately from subscription and support revenues, the Company considers the following factors:
availability of the consulting services from other vendors, whether the objective and reliable
evidence of fair value exists for the undelivered elements, and the nature of the consulting
services.
Revenues derived from energy management and consulting services are accounted for separately, and
are recognized as the services are rendered in accordance with SAB 104. Revenues derived from
productivity products are recognized when sold.
Revenues derived from energy savings and infrastructure upgrade project revenues are reported on
the percentage-of-completion method using costs incurred to date in relation to the estimated total
costs of the contracts to measure the stage of completion. Original contract prices are adjusted as
necessary for change orders in the amounts that are reasonably estimated based on the Companys
historical experience. The cumulative effects of changes in estimated total contract costs and
revenues (change orders) are recorded
in the period in which the facts requiring such revisions become known, and are accounted for using
the percentage-of-completion method. At the time it is determined that a contract is expected to
result in a loss, the entire estimated loss is recorded.
The Company leases space in its income-producing properties to tenants and recognizes minimum base
rentals as revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease term usually begins when
the tenant takes possession of, or controls the physical use of, the leased asset. Generally, this
occurs as of the lease commencement date. In determining what constitutes the leased asset, the
Company evaluates whether the Company or the tenant is the owner of the improvements. If the
Company is the owner of the improvements, then the leased asset is the finished tenant space. In
such instances, revenue recognition begins when the tenant takes possession of the finished space,
typically when the improvements are substantially complete. If the Company determines that the
improvements belong to the tenant, then the leased asset is the unimproved tenant space, and any
improvement allowances funded by the Company under the lease are treated as lease incentives that
reduce the revenue recognized over the term of the lease. In these circumstances, the Company
begins revenue recognition when the tenant takes possession of the unimproved space. The Company
considers a number of different factors in order to determine whether the Company or the tenant
owns the improvements. These factors include: (1) whether the lease stipulates the terms and
conditions of how an improvement allowance may be spent; (2) whether the tenant or the Company
retains legal title to the improvements; (3) the uniqueness of the improvements; (4) the expected
economic life of the improvements relative to the length of the lease; and (5) who constructs or
directs the construction of the improvements. The determination of who owns the improvements is
subject to significant judgment. In making this determination, the Company considers all of the
above factors; however, no one factor is determinative in reaching a conclusion. Certain leases may
also require tenants to pay additional rental amounts as partial reimbursements for their share of
property operating and common area expenses, real estate taxes, and insurance, which reimbursements
are recognized as revenues when earned. In addition, certain leases require retail tenants to pay
incremental rental amounts, which are contingent upon their individual stores sales. These
percentage rents are recognized as revenues only if and when earned, and are not recognized on a
straight-line basis.
Revenues from the sale of real estate assets are recognized when all of the following has occurred:
(a) the property is transferred from the Company to the buyer; (b) the buyers initial and
continuing investment is adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property; and (c) the
buyer has assumed all future ownership risks of the property. Costs of sales related to the sale of
real estate assets are based on the specific property sold. If a portion or a unit of a property is
sold, a proportionate share of the property is charged to the cost of sales.
22
INCOME-PRODUCING PROPERTIES AND PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Income-producing properties are stated at historical cost, and are depreciated for financial
reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Significant additions that extend asset lives are capitalized and are depreciated over their
respective estimated useful lives. Normal maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.
Interest and other carrying costs related to real estate assets under active development are
capitalized. Other costs of development and construction of real estate assets are also
capitalized. Capitalization of interest and other carrying costs is discontinued when a development
project is substantially completed or if active development ceases. The Company reviews its
long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost, and are depreciated for financial reporting
purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.
VALUATION OF GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed for impairment on an annual basis
or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying basis of the assets may
not be recoverable. The recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of
the carrying basis of the asset to the future net discounted cash flows expected to be generated by
the asset. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is determined
by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the assets estimated fair value.
Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying bases or estimated fair values
less estimated costs to sell. The most significant assumptions used in the impairment analysis are
estimated future revenue growth, estimated future profit margins and discount rate. The Company
estimates future revenue growth by utilizing several factors, which
include revenue currently in backlog, commitments from long standing customers, targeted revenue
from qualified prospects, revenues expected to be generated from new sales or marketing
initiatives, and expected profit margins. The Company estimates future profit margins based on
historical pricing and normal price increases. The discount rate is determined by an average cost
of the Companys equity and debt. The Company performed the annual impairment analysis of goodwill
and indefinite-lived intangible assets for the BPE Segment in the quarter ended January 31, 2008,
as required by SFAS 142. As part of the analysis, the Company used an income approach under a
discounted cash flow model to determine its measure of fair value. Additionally, the Company
performed a sensitivity analysis assuming the discount rate was higher and the growth rate was
lower than the assumptions used in the initial analysis. The annual analysis resulted in a
determination of no impairment for fiscal 2008. As of April 30, 2008, the Company does not believe
that any of its goodwill or other intangible assets are impaired.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be
applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted in the period of enactment
for the effect of a change in tax law or rates.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
The Company adopted SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,
effective in fiscal 2003, which requires, among other things, that the gains and losses from the
disposition of certain income-producing real estate assets, and associated liabilities, operating
results, and cash flows be reflected as discontinued operations in the financial statements for all
periods presented. Although net earnings are not affected, the Company has reclassified results
that were previously included in continuing operations as discontinued operations for qualifying
dispositions under SFAS 144.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Effective May 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No.
48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes, (FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition
threshold and measurement attribute for recognizing tax return positions in the financial
statements as those which are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the taxing
authority. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties,
accounting for income tax uncertainties in interim periods and the level of disclosures associated
with any recorded income tax uncertainties. The Company adopted FIN 48 on May 1, 2007, and the
adoption of FIN 48 has not had a material impact on the Companys financial position or results of
operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS
141(R)), which replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS 141(R) retains the underlying
concepts of SFAS 141 in that all business combinations are still required to be accounted for at
fair value under the acquisition method of accounting, but SFAS 141(R) changed the method of
applying the acquisition method in a number of significant aspects. Acquisition costs will
generally be expensed as incurred; noncontrolling interests will be valued at fair value at the
acquisition date; in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an
indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date;
23
Part II (continued)
restructuring costs associated with a business combination will generally be expensed
subsequent to the acquisition date; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and
income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. SFAS
141(R) is effective on a prospective basis for all business combinations for which the acquisition
date is on or after the beginning of the first annual period subsequent to December 15, 2008, with
the exception of the accounting for valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax
contingencies. SFAS 141(R) amends SFAS 109 such that adjustments made to valuation allowances on
deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies associated with acquisitions that closed prior to the
effective date of SFAS 141(R) would also apply the provisions of
SFAS 141(R). Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if
any, that SFAS 141(R) could have on the Companys financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies where other accounting
pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements; it does not require any new fair value
measurements under GAAP. SFAS 157 will be effective for the Company on May 1, 2009. The effects of
adoption will be determined by the types of instruments carried at fair value in the Companys
financial statements at the time of adoption as well as the method utilized to determine their fair
values prior to adoption. The Company has determined that this statement will not have a
significant impact on the determination or reporting of the Companys financial results.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial LiabilitiesIncluding an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS 159 will be effective
for the Company on May 1, 2009. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial
instruments and certain other items at fair value. This statement also establishes presentation and
disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different
measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. Unrealized gains and losses on
items for which the fair value option is elected would be reported in earnings. The Company has
determined that this statement will not have a significant impact on the determination or reporting
of the Companys financial results.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Certain statements contained or incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form 10-K,
including without limitation, statements containing the words believes, anticipates,
estimates, expects, plans, and words of similar import, are forward-looking statements within
the meaning of the federal securities laws. Such forward-looking statements involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties, and other matters which may cause the actual past results,
performance, or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results,
performance, or uncertainties expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
The factors set forth in ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS could cause actual results to differ materially
from those predicted in the Companys forward-looking statements. In addition, factors relating to
general global, national, regional, and local economic conditions, including international
political instability, national defense, homeland security, natural disasters, terrorism,
employment levels, wage and salary levels, consumer confidence, availability of credit, taxation
policies, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, SEC reporting requirements, fees paid to vendors in order to
remain in compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC requirements, interest rates, capital
spending, energy and other utility costs, and inflation could positively or adversely impact the
Company and its customers, suppliers, and sources of capital. Any significant adverse impact from
these factors could result in material adverse effects on the Companys results of operations and
financial condition.
The Company is also at risk for many other matters beyond its control, including, but not limited
to: the possible impact, if any, on earnings due to the ultimate disposition of legal proceedings
in which the Company may be involved; the potential loss of significant customers; the Companys
future ability to sell or refinance its real estate assets; the possibility of not achieving
projected backlog revenues or not realizing earnings from such revenues; the cost and availability
of insurance; the ability of the Company to attract and retain key personnel; weather conditions;
changes in laws and regulations, including changes in accounting standards, generally accepted
accounting principles, and regulatory requirements of the SEC and NASDAQ; overall vacancy rates in
the markets where the Company leases retail and office space; overall capital spending trends in
the economy; the timing and amount of earnings recognition related to the possible sale of real
estate properties held for sale; delays in or cancellations of customers orders; inflation; the
level and volatility of energy and gasoline prices; the level and volatility of interest rates; the
failure of a subcontractor to perform; and the deterioration in the financial stability of an
anchor tenant, significant customer, or subcontractor.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Servidyne, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Servidyne, Inc. and subsidiaries
(the Company) as of April 30, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, shareholders equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
April 30, 2008. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at
Item 15. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the
Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control
over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no opinion. An audit also includes examining, on
a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Servidyne, Inc. and subsidiaries as of April 30, 2008,
and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended April 30, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule for 2008, 2007,
and 2006 when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a
whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth herein.
As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, on May 1, 2006, based on the
modified prospective application transition method.

Management Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Management of Servidyne, Inc. (the Company) is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal controls over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Because of its inherent limitations,
internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of
any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate. Internal controls over financial reporting cannot provide absolute
assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal
controls over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is
subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal controls over
financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because
of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected
on a timely basis by internal controls over financial reporting. However, these inherent
limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to
design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, the risk.
Company management assessed the effectiveness of the Companys internal controls over financial
reporting as of April 30, 2008. In making this assessment, Company management used the criteria set
forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal
ControlIntegrated Framework.
Based on its assessment, management believes that, as of April 30, 2008, the Companys internal
controls over financial reporting were effective based on those criteria.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
APRIL 30, 2008; APRIL 30, 2007; AND APRIL 30, 2006
1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Servidyne, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) was organized under Delaware law in 1960. In 1984,
the Company changed its state of incorporation from Delaware to Georgia. In 2006, the Company
changed its name to Servidyne, Inc. from Abrams Industries, Inc. The Company (i) provides building
performance efficiency services to companies that own and operate buildings; and (ii) engages in
commercial real estate investment and development. The Companys wholly-owned subsidiaries comprise
the two operating segments and include: Servidyne Systems, LLC and The Wheatstone Energy Group, LLC
(the BPE Segment); and Abrams Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries, and AFC Real Estate, Inc. and
subsidiaries (the Real Estate Segment).
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(A) Principles of consolidation and basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Servidyne, Inc., its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, and its former 80% investment in Abrams-Columbus Limited Partnership. The
Abrams-Columbus leasehold interest in the land and its owned shopping center were sold in July 2007
(See Footnote 16Dispositions). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
The Company has made reclassifications related to certain income-producing properties that have
been sold in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, (SFAS 144). In addition, the
Company has made certain reclassifications in prior years to conform with the current year
presentation.
(B) Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as
of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(C) Revenue recognition
Revenues derived from the implementation, training, support and base service license fees from
customers accessing the Companys proprietary building productivity software solutions on an
application service provider (ASP) basis is determined according to the provisions of the
Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104, Revenue Recognition, and
Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple
Deliverables. Accordingly, for these sources of revenues, the Company recognizes revenue when all of the
following conditions are met: there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; service has been
provided to the customer; the collection of fees is probable; and the amount of fees to be paid by
the customer is fixed and determinable. The Companys license arrangements do not include general
rights of return. Revenues are recognized ratably over the contract terms beginning on the
commencement date of each contract. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts
receivable and in revenue or deferred revenue, depending on the timing of when the revenue
recognition criteria have been met. Additionally, the Company defers the related direct costs and
amortizes them over the same time period as the revenue is recognized. Professional services and
other revenues, when sold with subscription and support offerings, are accounted for separately
when these services have value to the customer on a stand-alone basis and there is objective and
reliable evidence of fair value of each deliverable. For revenue arrangements with multiple
deliverables, such as an arrangement that includes subscription, support, consulting or training
services, the Company allocates the total amount that the customer will pay to the separate units
of accounting based on their relative fair values, as determined by the price of the undelivered
items when sold separately. In determining whether the consulting services can be accounted for
separately from subscription and support revenues, the Company considers the following factors:
availability of the consulting services from other vendors, whether the objective and reliable
evidence of fair value exists for the undelivered elements, and the nature of the consulting
services.
Revenues derived from energy management and consulting services are accounted for separately, and
are recognized as the services are rendered in accordance with SAB 104. Revenues derived from
productivity products are recognized when sold.
Revenues derived from energy savings and
infrastructure upgrade project revenues are reported on the percentage-of-completion method using
costs incurred to date in relation to the estimated total costs of the contracts to measure the
stage of completion. Original contract prices are adjusted as necessary for change orders in the
amounts that are reasonably estimated based on the Companys historical experience. The cumulative
effects of changes in estimated total contract costs and revenues (change orders) are recorded in
the period in which the facts requiring such revisions become known, and are accounted for using
the percentage-of-completion method. At the time it is determined that a contract is expected to
result in a loss, the entire estimated loss is recorded.
31
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
APRIL 30, 2008; APRIL 30, 2007; AND APRIL 30, 2006
The Company leases space in its income-producing properties to tenants and recognizes minimum base
rentals as revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease term usually begins when
the tenant takes possession of, or controls the physical use of, the leased asset. Generally, this
occurs as of the lease commencement date. In determining what constitutes the leased asset, the
Company evaluates whether the Company or the tenant is the owner of the improvements. If the
Company is the owner of the improvements, then the leased asset is the finished tenant space. In
such instances, revenue recognition begins when the tenant takes possession of the finished space,
typically when the improvements are substantially complete. If the Company determines that the
improvements belong to the tenant, then the leased asset is the unimproved tenant space, and any
improvement allowances funded by the Company under the lease are treated as lease incentives that
reduce the revenue recognized over the term of the lease. In these circumstances, the Company
begins revenue recognition when the tenant takes possession of the unimproved space. The Company
considers a number of different factors in order to determine whether the Company or the tenant
owns the improvements. These factors include: (1) whether the lease stipulates the terms and
conditions of how an improvement allowance may be spent; (2) whether the tenant or the Company
retains legal title to the improvements; (3) the uniqueness of the improvements; (4) the expected
economic life of the improvements relative to the length of the lease; and (5) who constructs or
directs the construction of the improvements. The determination of who owns the improvements is
subject to significant judgment. In making this determination, the Company considers all of the
above factors; however, no one factor is determinative in reaching a conclusion. Certain leases may
also require tenants to pay additional rental amounts as partial reimbursements for their share of
property operating and common area expenses, real estate taxes, and insurance, which reimbursements
are recognized as revenues when earned. In addition, certain leases require retail tenants to pay
incremental rental amounts, which are contingent upon their individual stores sales. These
percentage rents are recognized as revenues only if and when earned, and are not recognized on a
straight-line basis.
Revenues from the sale of real estate assets are recognized when all of the following has occurred:
(a) the property is transferred from the Company to the buyer; (b) the buyers initial and
continuing investment is adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property; and (c) the
buyer has assumed all future ownership risks of the property. Costs of sales related to the sale of
real estate assets are based on the specific property sold. If a portion or a unit of a property is
sold, a proportionate share of the property is charged to the cost of sales.
(D) Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments
Cash and cash equivalents include money market funds and other highly liquid financial instruments,
but exclude restricted cash (current and long-term). The Company considers all highly liquid
financial instruments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents, other than
restricted cash (current and long-term). The Company considers financial instruments with
maturities of three months to one year to be short-term investments. The Company has classified all
short-term investments as held to maturity. As of April 30, 2008, and April 30, 2007, the Company
had a short-term investment in a certificate of deposit that is included in other long-term assets
that secures a letter of credit on a mortgage note payable that matures in August 2012.
(E) Restricted cash
Restricted cash (current and long-term) includes proceeds of sales of real estate which the Company
elects to be deposited and held temporarily in an escrow account at closing of the sale, in order
to fund potential acquisitions of income-producing properties through a tax deferred Internal
Revenue Code Section 1031 exchange. If the Company does not complete such an acquisition, then the
funds are released from escrow to the Company and converted to cash and cash equivalents. The
restricted cash as of April 30, 2008, was released from escrow to the Company on June 11, 2008, and
converted to cash and cash equivalents.
(F) Income-producing properties and property and equipment
Income-producing properties are stated at historical cost, and are depreciated for financial
reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Significant additions that extend asset lives are capitalized and then depreciated over their
respective estimated useful lives. Routine maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.
Interest and other carrying costs related to real estate assets under active development are
capitalized. Other costs of development of real estate assets are also capitalized. Capitalization
of interest and other carrying costs is discontinued when a development project is substantially
completed or if active development ceases.
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.
(G) Real estate held for future development or sale
Real estate held for future development or sale is carried at the lower of historical cost or fair
value less estimated costs to sell.
(H) Deferred loan costs
Costs incurred to obtain loans have been deferred and are being amortized over the terms of the
respective loans.
32
(I) Impairment of long-lived assets and assets to be disposed of
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
recoverability of assets to be held and used 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. If
an asset were determined to be impaired, the amount of impairment to be recognized would be
determined by calculating how much the carrying amount of the asset exceeded the assets fair
value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying amounts or fair values
less the estimated costs to sell. As of April 30, 2008, the Company does not believe that any of
its long-lived assets were impaired.
(J) Income taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be
applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted in the period of enactment
for the effect of a change in tax law or rates.
(K) Capitalized computer software
Software development costs are accounted for in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF)
00-3 that sets forth the accounting of software in a Web hosting arrangement. As such, the Company
follows the guidance set forth in Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, in accounting for the development of its
on-demand application services. SOP 98-1 requires that software development costs that are incurred
in a preliminary project stage should be 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.
(L) Goodwill and other intangible assets
Intangible assets primarily consist of trademarks, acquired computer software, customer
relationships, proprietary BPE software solutions, real estate lease costs, and deferred loan
costs. The trademarks are not amortized as they have indefinite lives. However, the acquired
computer software, proprietary BPE software solutions, lease costs, and deferred loan costs are
amortized using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Acquired computer software
|
|
3 years |
Proprietary BPE software solutions
|
|
5 years |
Customer relationships
|
|
5 years |
Lease costs
|
|
Over the term of the lease |
Loan costs
|
|
Over the term of the loan |
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed for impairment on an annual basis
or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying basis of an asset may not
be recoverable. The recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the
carrying basis of the asset to the future net discounted cash flows expected to be generated by the
asset. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the amount of impairment to be recognized is
determined by calculating how much the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the assets estimated
fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their respective carrying bases
or estimated fair values less estimated costs to sell. The most significant assumptions in the
impairment analysis are estimated future revenue growth, estimated future profit margins and
discount rate. The Company estimates future revenue growth by utilizing several factors, which
include revenue currently in backlog, commitments from long standing customers, targeted revenue
from qualified prospects, revenues expected to be generated from new sales or marketing
initiatives, and expected profit margins. The Company estimates future profit margins based on
historical pricing and normal price increases. The discount rate to be utilized is determined by an
average cost of the Companys equity and debt. The Company performed the annual impairment analysis
of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for the BPE Segment in the quarter ended January
31, 2008, as required by SFAS 142. As part of the impairment test, the Company used an income
approach under a discounted cash flow model to determine its measure of fair value. Additionally,
the Company performed a sensitivity analysis assuming the discount rate was higher and the growth
rate was lower than the assumptions used in the initial analysis. The annual analysis resulted in a
determination of no impairment in fiscal 2008. As of April 30, 2008, the Company does not believe
that any of its goodwill or other intangible assets are impaired.
(M) Derivative instruments and hedging activities
The Company accounts for derivative instruments and hedging activities, if any, in accordance with
SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended. Under SFAS 133,
derivative instruments are recognized in the balance sheet at fair value, and changes in the fair
value of such instruments are recognized currently in earnings, unless specific hedge accounting
criteria are met. In the years ended April 30, 2008, April 30, 2007, and April 30, 2006, the
Company had no derivative instruments or hedging activities.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
APRIL 30, 2008; APRIL 30, 2007; AND APRIL 30, 2006
(N) Discontinued operations
The Company adopted SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,
effective in fiscal 2003, which requires, among other things, that the gains and losses from the
disposition of certain income-producing real estate assets, and associated liabilities, operating
results, and cash flows, be reflected as discontinued operations in the financial statements for
all periods presented. Although net earnings is not affected, the Company has reclassified the
results of sold assets that were previously included in continuing operations as discontinued
operations for qualifying dispositions under SFAS 144.

(Q) Recent accounting pronouncements
Effective May 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No.
48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition
threshold and measurement attribute for recognizing tax return positions in the financial
statements to be those which are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the
taxing authority. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and
penalties, accounting for income tax uncertainties in interim periods, and the level of disclosures
associated with any recorded income tax uncertainties. The Company adopted FIN 48 on May 1, 2007,
and the adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position or
results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS
141(R)), which replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS 141(R) retains the underlying
concepts of SFAS 141 in that all business combinations are still required to be accounted for at
fair value under the acquisition method of accounting, but SFAS 141(R) changed the method of
applying the acquisition method in a number of significant aspects. Acquisition costs will
generally be expensed as incurred; noncontrolling interests will be valued at fair value at the
acquisition date; in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an
indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date; restructuring costs associated with a
business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and changes in
deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date
generally will affect income tax expense. SFAS 141(R) is effective on a prospective basis for all
business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first
annual period subsequent to December 15, 2008, with the exception of the accounting for valuation
allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies. SFAS 141(R) amends SFAS 109 such that
adjustments made to valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies
associated with acquisitions that closed prior to the effective date of SFAS 141(R) would also
apply the provisions of SFAS 141(R). Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently
evaluating the effects, if any, that SFAS 141(R) could have on the Companys financial statements.
34
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies where other accounting
pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements; it does not require any new fair value
measurements under GAAP. SFAS 157 will be effective for the Company on May 1, 2009. The effects of
adoption will be determined by the types of instruments carried at fair value in the Companys
financial statements at the time of adoption as well as the method utilized to determine their fair
values prior to adoption. The Company has determined that this statement will not have a
significant impact on the determination or reporting of the Companys financial results.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial LiabilitiesIncluding an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS 159 will be effective
for the Company on May 1, 2009. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial
instruments and certain other items at fair value. This statement also establishes presentation and
disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different
measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. Unrealized gains and losses on
items for which the fair value option is elected would be reported in earnings. The Company has
determined that this statement will not have a significant impact on the determination or reporting
of the Companys financial results.
(R) Stock compensation
On June 5, 2008, the Company awarded a stock dividend of five percent (5%) to all shareholders of
record on June 18, 2008. Accordingly, on July 1, 2008, the Company issued 177,708 shares of stock
pursuant to the stock dividend. All stock options and SARs have been adjusted retroactively to
increase the number of stock options and SARs outstanding, to account for the stock dividend for
all periods presented.
On May 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) 123(R),
Share-Based Payment (revised 2004). SFAS 123(R) requires that all equity awards to employees,
directors, and outside service providers be expensed by the Company over the requisite service
period. The Company adopted this standard using the modified prospective method. Under this method,
the Company records compensation expense for all awards it granted after the date it adopted the
standard. In addition, as of the effective date, the Company was required to record compensation
expense for any unvested portion of previously granted awards that remained outstanding at the date
of adoption. The adoption of SFAS 123(R) at that time did not have an impact on the Companys
financial position or results of operations, as there were no unvested equity awards that required
an accounting change as of May 1, 2006.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company accounted for equity-based compensation under the
provisions and related interpretations of Accounting Principles Board (APB) 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees. Accordingly, the Company was not required to record compensation expense
when stock options were granted to employees and directors as long as the exercise price was no
less than the closing price of the stock at the grant date. Under SFAS 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based
CompensationTransition and Disclosure, the Company continued to follow the guidance of APB 25, but
provided pro forma disclosures of net earnings and net earnings per share as if the Company had
adopted the provisions of SFAS 123.
If the Company had accounted for its stock-based compensation awards in accordance with SFAS 123
prior to its adoption, the results would have been as follows for the year ended April 30, 2006:

The Company has three outstanding types of equity-based incentive compensation instruments in
effect with employees, non-employee directors, and outside service providers: stock options, stock
appreciation rights and restricted stock.
For fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006, the Companys net earnings included $128,787, $75,507, and
$16,331, respectively, of total equity-based compensation expenses, and $48,939, $28,693, and
$6,206, respectively, of related income tax benefits. All of these expenses were included in
selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option grant 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 Companys stock option awards. The expected life of the stock options granted
was based on the estimated holding periods of the respective awarded stock options. The expected
volatility of the respective stock options granted is based on the historical volatility of the
Companys stock over the preceding five-year period using the month-end per share price. The fair
value for each stock option grant was estimated on the respective grant date using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

The SARs awarded have a five-year vesting period, in which 30% of the SARs will vest on the third
year anniversary of the date of grant, 30% will vest on the fourth year anniversary of the date of
grant, and 40% will vest on the fifth year anniversary of the date of grant, with an early vesting
provision by which 100% of SARs would vest immediately if the Companys stock price closes at or
above $19.05 per share (adjusted for stock dividend) for ten (10) consecutive trading days or on
the date of a change in control of the Company.

The Companys net earnings for the year ended April 30, 2008, and April 30, 2007, include $121,434
and $72,027 of equity-based compensation expense, respectively, related to the vesting of SARs.
Related income tax benefits were $46,145 and $27,370, respectively. The compensation expense was
included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of
operations.
There were no SARs granted in fiscal 2006.
Shares of Restricted Stock
Periodically, the Company has awarded shares of restricted stock to employees, directors and
certain outside service providers. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the awards were accounted
for under APB No. 25 and recorded at fair market value on the date of grant as deferred
compensation expense; and compensation expense was recognized over the vesting period on a
straight-line basis, net of forfeitures. Upon adoption of SFAS 123(R), $4,420 of deferred
compensation expense related to the Companys shares of restricted stock was reclassified to
additional paid in capital. As of April 30, 2007, there was no unrecognized compensation expense.
For fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006, restricted stock equity-based compensation expense related
to the vesting of shares of restricted stock was $7,353, $3,480, and $16,331, respectively, and the
related income tax benefits were $2,794, $1,322, and $6,206, respectively.

3. RESTRICTED CASH
Restricted cash (current and long-term) is cash proceeds from sales of real estate which the
Company elects to be deposited temporarily into an escrow account at closing of the sale in order
to fund potential acquisitions of income-producing properties through a tax deferred Internal
Revenue Code Section 1031 exchange. If the Company does not complete such an acquisition, then the
funds are released from escrow to the Company and converted to cash and cash equivalents. All of
the restricted cash as of April 30, 2008, was released from escrow to the Company on June 11, 2008,
and converted to cash and cash equivalents.
4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
The Company is in the business of creating long-term value by periodically realizing gains through
the sales of real estate assets, and then redeploying its capital by reinvesting the proceeds from
such sales. SFAS 144 requires, among other things, that the operating results of certain
income-producing assets, which have been sold, be included in discontinued operations in the
statements of operations for all periods presented. The Company classifies an asset as a current
asset held for sale when the asset is under a binding sales contract with minimal contingencies and
the buyer is materially at risk if the buyer fails to complete the transaction. However, each
potential transaction is evaluated based on its separate facts and circumstances. Pursuant to this
standard, as of April 30, 2008, the Company had no income-producing properties that were classified
as held for disposition or sale.
Interest expense specifically related to mortgage debt on income-producing properties that have
been sold is allocated to the results of discontinued operations in accordance with EITF 87-24,
Allocation of Interest to Discontinued Operations. The Company has elected not to allocate to
discontinued operations other consolidated interest that is not directly attributable to the sold
properties or related to other operations of the Company.
REAL ESTATE SALES OF INCOME-PRODUCING PROPERTIES
On December 13, 2007, the Company sold its owned office park located in Marietta, Georgia, and
recognized a pre-tax gain on the sale of approximately $2.08 million. On July 31, 2007, the Company
sold its leasehold interest in the land and its owned shopping center building located in Columbus,
Georgia, and its owned shopping center located in Orange Park, Florida, and recognized a total
pre-tax gain on the sales of approximately $1.9 million. On November 1, 2006, the Company sold its
owned shopping center located in Morton, Illinois, and recognized a pre-tax gain on the sale of
approximately $3.48 million. On January 30, 2006, the Company sold its professional medical office
building located in Douglasville, Georgia, and recognized a pre-tax gain on the sale of
approximately $1.38 million.
In accordance with SFAS 144, the Companys historical financial statements have been prepared with
the results of operations and cash flows of these sold income-producing properties shown as
discontinued operations, with the exception of the revenues, backlog, costs and expenses, and cash
flows associated with the shopping center located in Orange Park, Florida, for the period between
May 1, 2006, and February 12, 2007, which have not been restated as discontinued operations and are
still included in continuing operations; the Company acquired the fee interest in the shopping
center on February 12, 2007, and as a result, the property was reclassified as an Owned Shopping
Center rather than as a Leaseback Shopping Center. The reader should keep this in mind when
analyzing the annual results of operations, backlog and cash flows of the Real Estate Segment.
CONSTRUCTION SEGMENT
During its fiscal year ended April 30, 2004, the Company made the decision to discontinue its
operations as a general contractor, and pursuant this decision, all general contracting operating
activities ceased. The former Construction Segment has been classified as a discontinued operation.
38
All historical statements have been restated in accordance with SFAS 144. Summarized financial
information for discontinued operations for the fiscal years ended April 30 is as follows:

and April 30, 2006, was $195,865, $188,955, and $175,952, respectively. These amounts are included
in selling, general, and administrative expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations.
8. MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE AND LEASES
As of April 30, 2008, the Company owned two shopping centers and two office buildings. All of these
owned properties were pledged as collateral on respective mortgage notes payable. Exculpatory
provisions of the mortgage notes payable limit the Companys liability for repayment to its
interest in each respective owned property.
The owned shopping centers are leased to tenants for terms expiring on various dates during fiscal
years 2009 to 2020, while leases on the office properties expire during fiscal years 2010 to 2014.
The Company also leases one shopping center under a leaseback arrangement expiring in fiscal year
2013. The Companys lease on that property contains exculpatory provisions that limit the Companys
liability for payment to its interest in the respective lease. The leaseback shopping center is
subleased entirely to the Kmart Corporation. The term of the Companys lease either is the same as,
or may be extended to correspond to, the sublease term.
All leases are operating leases. The owned shopping center leases typically require that the
tenants make fixed rental payments over a period of three to 15 years, may grant the tenant renewal
options, and may provide for contingent rentals if the tenants annual sales volume in the leased
space exceeds a predetermined amount. The leases on the office properties typically require tenants
to make fixed rental payments over a period of three to seven years. In most cases, the shopping
center and office leases provide that the tenants bear a portion of the costs of insurance,
repairs, maintenance and taxes.
Base rental revenues recognized from owned shopping centers and office properties in 2008, 2007,
and 2006, were approximately $2,717,000, $2,466,000, and $1,947,000, respectively. Base rental
revenues recognized from leaseback shopping centers in 2008, 2007, and 2006, were approximately
$330,000, $989,000, and $1,421,000, respectively. Contingent rental revenues on all shopping
centers in 2008, 2007, and 2006, were approximately $0, $25,000, and $27,000, respectively.

The federal net operating loss carryforwards expire in various years after fiscal
2015. The majority of the state operating loss carryforwards expire in various years after
fiscal 2009. |
The valuation allowance against deferred tax assets at April 30, 2008, and April 30, 2007, was
$236,098 in both years. The valuation allowance reduces tax deferred tax assets to an amount that
represents managements best estimate of the amount of such deferred tax assets that most likely
will be realized.
The Company and its subsidiaries income tax returns currently are subject to examination by
federal and state tax jurisdictions for fiscal years 2005 through 2007.
11. 401(K) PLAN
The Company has a 401(k) plan (the Plan) which covers the majority of its employees. Pursuant to
the provisions of the Plan, eligible employees may make salary deferral (before tax) contributions
of up to 100% of their total compensation per plan year, not to exceed a specified maximum annual
contribution as determined by the Internal Revenue Service. The Plan also includes provisions that
authorize the Company to make additional discretionary contributions. Such contributions, if made,
are allocated among all eligible employees as determined under the Plan. The trustee under the Plan
invests the assets of each participants account, as directed by the participant. The Plan assets
currently do not include any stock of the Company. Funded discretionary employer contributions to
the Plan for 2008, 2007, and 2006, were approximately $63,000, $105,000, and $63,000, respectively.
The net assets in the Plan, which is administered by an independent trustee, were approximately
$5,094,000, $6,380,000, and $5,875,000, at April 30, 2008, April 30, 2007, and April 30, 2006,
respectively. In conjunction with the acquisition of the assets of Servidyne Systems, Inc. in
fiscal 2002, the Company assumed a 401(k) plan (the Servidyne Systems Plan), which covered a
significant number of the employees. Under the provisions of the Servidyne Systems Plan,
participants could contribute up to 100% of their compensation per plan year, not to exceed a
specified maximum contribution, as determined by the Internal Revenue Service. The Servidyne
Systems Plan was frozen as of January 1, 2003, and no additional employee or employer contributions
were funded after that date.
12. SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY
In fiscal 2001, the shareholders approved the 2000 Stock Award Plan (the 2000 Award Plan). The
2000 Award Plan permits the grant of incentive and non-qualified stock options, non-restricted,
restricted and performance stock awards, and stock appreciation rights to directors, employees,
independent contractors, advisors, consultants and other outside service providers to the Company,
as determined by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The term and vesting requirements of each award
are determined by the Compensation Committee, but in no event may the term of any award exceed ten
years. Incentive Stock Options granted under the 2000 Award Plan provide for the purchase of the
Companys Common Stock at not less than fair market value on the date the stock option is granted.
The total number of shares that can be granted under the 2000 Award Plan is 1,155,000 shares (share
amount adjusted for stock dividend).
The Company issued 52,500 SARs (adjusted for stock dividend) outside of the 2000 Award Plan, with
an exercise price of $5.00 (adjusted for stock dividend), to one employee in April 2008. All SARs
awarded have a five-year vesting period, in
43
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
APRIL 30, 2008; APRIL 30, 2007; AND APRIL 30, 2006
which 30% of the SARs will vest on the third year anniversary of the date of grant, 30% will vest
on the fourth year anniversary of the date of grant, and 40% will vest on the fifth year
anniversary of the date of grant, with an early vesting provision by which 100% of SARs would vest
immediately if the Companys stock price closes at or above $19.05 per share (adjusted for stock
dividend) for ten (10) consecutive trading days or on the date of a change in control of the
Company.
The Company issued 57,750 stock warrants (adjusted for stock dividend) outside the 2000 Stock Award
Plan with an exercise price of $4.42 (adjusted for stock dividend), to unrelated third parties in
December 2003, of which none had been exercised as of April 30, 2008.
In March 2008, the Companys Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 50,000 shares of
the Companys Common Stock during the twelve-month period commencing on March 8, 2008, and ending
on March 7, 2009. In March 2007, the Companys Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up
to 50,000 shares of the Companys Common Stock during the twelve-month period commencing on March
8, 2007, and ending on March 8, 2008. In March 2006, the Companys Board of Directors authorized
the repurchase of up to 50,000 shares of the Companys Common Stock during the twelve-month period
commencing on March 4, 2006, and ending March 3, 2007. The Company repurchased 4,900 shares in
fiscal 2007. There were no shares repurchased by the Company during fiscal 2008 or fiscal 2006.
13. NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Earnings per share are calculated in accordance with SFAS 128, Earnings Per Share, which requires
dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the income statement for
all entities with complex capital structures. Basic and diluted weighted average share differences,
if any, result solely from dilutive common stock options, SARs and stock warrants. Basic earnings
per share are computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average shares outstanding during
the reporting period. Potential dilutive common shares are calculated in accordance with the
treasury stock method, which assumes that the proceeds from the exercise of all stock options, SARs
and stock warrants would be used to repurchase common shares at the current market value. The
number of shares remaining after the exercise proceeds were exhausted represents the potentially
dilutive effect of the stock options, SARs and stock warrants. The dilutive number of common shares
was 221,771 in 2008, 18,026 in 2007, and 22,190 in 2006. Since the Company had losses from
continuing operations for all periods presented, all stock equivalents were antidilutive during
these periods, and are therefore excluded from the weighted average shares outstanding.
On June 5, 2008, the Company awarded a stock dividend of five percent (5%) to all shareholders of
record on June 18, 2008. Accordingly, on July 1, 2008, the Company issued 177,708 shares of stock
pursuant to the stock dividend. Earnings (loss) per share have been adjusted retroactively to
present the shares issued, including the shares pursuant to the stock dividend, as outstanding for
all periods presented in accordance with SFAS 128, Earnings Per Share.
On August 25, 2005, the Company awarded a stock dividend of ten percent (10%) to all shareholders
of record on September 27, 2005. Accordingly, on October 11, 2005, the Company issued 335,203
shares of stock pursuant to the stock dividend. Earnings (loss) per share have been adjusted
retroactively to present the shares issued, including the shares pursuant to the stock dividend, as
outstanding for all periods presented.

14. OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Company had two operating segments at April 30, 2008: BPE and Real Estate. The BPE Segment
assists its customer base of multi-site owners and operators of corporate, commercial office,
hospitality, gaming, retail, education, light industrial, government, institutional, and healthcare
buildings, as well as energy services companies, in improving facility operating performance,
reducing energy consumption, and lowering ownership and operating costs, while improving the level
of service and comfort for building occupants, through its: (1) energy efficiency engineering and
analytical consulting services, including energy surveys and audits, facility studies, utility
monitoring services, building qualification for ENERGY STAR® and LEED®
certifications, HVAC retrofit design, and energy simulations and modeling; (2) facility management
software programs, including its iTendant platform using Web and wireless technologies; and (3)
energy saving lighting programs and energy related services and infrastructure upgrade projects
that reduce energy consumption and operating costs. The primary geographic focus for the BPE
Segment is the continental United States, although it transacts business internationally as well.
The Real Estate Segment is involved in the investment, sale, development, and re-development of
shopping centers and office properties in the Southeast and Midwest.
The two operating segments are managed separately and maintain separate personnel, due to the
differing services offered by each segment, except for accounting, human resources, information
technology, and some clerical shared services. Management evaluates and monitors the performance of
the respective segments based primarily on the consistency with the Companys long-term strategic
objectives. The significant accounting policies utilized by the operating segments are the same as
those summarized in Note 2.
Total revenues by operating segment include both revenues from unaffiliated customers, as reported
in the Companys consolidated statements of operations, and intersegment revenues, which are
generally at prices negotiated between segments.
The Company derived revenues from direct transactions with customers aggregating more than 10% of
consolidated revenues from continuing operations as follows:

Revenues derived from Customer 1 were generated entirely by the Real Estate Segment, and revenues
derived from Customers 2 and 3 were generated entirely by the BPE Segment.
Net earnings (loss) represents total revenues less operating expenses (including depreciation and
interest), income taxes, and earnings from discontinued operations. Selling, general and
administrative costs, and interest costs, which are deducted in the computation of the net earnings
(loss) of each segment, represent the actual costs incurred by that segment.
Segment assets are those that are used in the operation of each segment, including receivables due
from the other segment and assets from discontinued operations. The Parent Companys assets consist
primarily of its investment in subsidiaries, cash and cash equivalents, the cash surrender value of
life insurance, receivables, and assets related to deferred compensation plans. Liquid assets
attributable to the Companys former Construction Segments discontinued operations are also
included in the Parent Companys assets in 2008, 2007, and 2006.

On March 12, 2007, Newnan Office Plaza, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,
acquired an office building located in Newnan, Georgia. The Company used the net cash
proceeds from the sale of its shopping center located in Morton, Illinois, and from the
sale of its leaseback interest in a shopping center located in Richfield, Minnesota, as
well as interim bank financing of $2.5 million, to purchase the income-producing property
for approximately $4.25 million, including the costs associated with completing the
transaction. The acquisition was structured in order to qualify the sale and acquisition

million.
On February 12, 2007, Abrams Orange Park, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,
acquired the land and building associated with the Companys leaseback shopping center
located in Orange Park, Florida. The Companys lease with the owner of the land and
building was terminated in connection therewith. The Company used net cash proceeds of
approximately $1.83 million from the sale of its former manufacturing and warehouse
facility, and approximately $1.03 million of additional cash, to purchase the
income-producing property for approximately $2.86 million, including costs associated
with completing the transaction. The acquisition was structured in order to qualify the
sale and acquisition as a tax deferred exchange under Internal Revenue Code Section 1031.

16. DISPOSITIONS
Fiscal 2008
On March 28, 2008, the City of Oakwood, Georgia, acquired in lieu of a formal condemnation,
approximately 1.8 acres of the Companys undeveloped land located in Oakwood, Georgia, for
$860,000, which resulted in a pre-tax gain of approximately $581,000. For income tax purposes, the
Company treated this transaction as an involuntary conversion under Section 1033 of the Internal
Revenue Code, which allows for tax deferral of a gain if the Company acquires a qualified
replacement property by no later than April 30, 2011. The Company currently intends to use the net
proceeds from this transaction to acquire an income-producing property. This transaction is
recorded in gains on sale of real estate in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
On December 13, 2007, the Company sold its owned office park located in Marietta, Georgia, for a
price of $10.3 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain on the sale of approximately $2.085 million.
After selling expenses and repayment of the mortgage loan and associated costs, the sale generated
cash proceeds of approximately $3.4 million. The Company intended to use the net proceeds from this
sale to acquire an income-producing property, which would have qualified the sale under Internal
Revenue Code Section 1031 for federal income tax deferral, and therefore placed the proceeds with a
qualified third party intermediary in connection therewith. However, the Company did not complete
such acquisition, and therefore the proceeds were released from the intermediary to the Company on
June 11, 2008. This sale is recorded in discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated
statements of operations.
On July 31, 2007, the Company sold: its leasehold interest in a shopping center located in
Jacksonville, Florida; its leasehold interest in the land and its owned shopping center building
located in Columbus, Georgia; and its owned shopping center located in Orange Park, Florida; for a
total combined price of $6.797 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain on the sales of approximately
$3.776 million. After selling expenses, these sales generated net cash proceeds of approximately
$6.4 million. In addition, the Company purchased its minority partners interests in the Columbus,
Georgia, shopping center by utilizing two notes payable totaling approximately $400,000. In
December 2007, the Company paid off one of the notes in the amount of approximately $160,000; the
second note is recorded on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as current maturities of

18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
As previously reported, the Company announced in July 2003 that an internal investigation
had revealed information suggesting that certain improprieties in violation of federal
laws may have taken place at the now discontinued Construction Segment. The Company
voluntarily communicated the results of its investigation to the United States Department
of Justice (DOJ), which promptly issued a conditional letter of amnesty to the Company
and its subsidiaries for their cooperation in recognizing and then immediately reporting
the irregularities. On July 9, 2008, the DOJ informed the Company that it does not intend
to proceed further with the matter and is closing its investigation.
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise from time to
time in the ordinary course of business. While the occurrence or resolution of such
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 Companys financial
position or results of operations.
19. QUARTERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
Pursuant to SFAS 144, as further discussed in Note 2, operating results for the owned
office park located in Marietta, Georgia, which was sold during the year, was included in
discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for all
periods presented. To conform with this presentation, the quarterly financial information
presented below reflects the reclassification of the operating results of the office park
to discontinued operations for the first and second quarters of fiscal 2008 which differs
from the presentation of revenues included in the Companys previously issued financial
statements included in its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed in fiscal 2008.
In addition, on June 5, 2008, the Company awarded a stock dividend of five percent (5%) to
all shareholders of record on June 18, 2008. Accordingly, on July 1, 2008, the Company
issued 177,708 shares of stock pursuant to the stock dividend. The quarterly information
presented below reflects the earnings (loss) per share adjusted retroactively to present
the shares issued, including the shares pursuant to the stock dividend, as outstanding for
all periods presented in accordance with SFAS 128, Earnings Per Share, which differs from
the presentation of earnings per share included in the Companys previously issued
financial statements included in its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed in fiscal 2008.

Quarterly financial information for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2008, and April 30,

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH INDEPENDENT AUDITORS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL
DISCLOSURE
None.
ITEM 9A (T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management has evaluated the Companys disclosure and controls and procedures as defined by Rules
13a-15(e) and 15(d)-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
Companys 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 Companys disclosure controls and
procedures, however, are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of
disclosure controls and procedures are met.
Based on managements evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer
concluded that the Companys 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 are met.
There was no change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during the Companys fourth fiscal quarter for its fiscal year ended April 30, 2008, which
materially has affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal
control over financial reporting.
In connection with the preparation of the Companys Form 10-K, management assessed the
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2008. In making that
assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework. Based on managements
assessment, management believes that, as of April 30, 2008, the internal control over financial
reporting was effective based on those criteria.
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Company has included a report of
managements assessment of the design and effectiveness of internal controls as part of this
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
None.
