SERVIDYNE, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Servidyne, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) was organized under Delaware law in 1960. In 1984, the Company changed its state of incorporation from Delaware to Georgia. The Company’s Building Performance Efficiency (“BPE”) Segment provides comprehensive energy efficiency solutions, sustainability programs, and other building performance-enhancing products and services to owners and operators of existing buildings. The Company’s Real Estate Segment engages in commercial real estate investment and development.
NOTE 2. UNAUDITED STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the accompanying disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2009. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.
Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events through September 14, 2009, which represents the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, and made the determination that, other than the subsequent event described in Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, no events occurred subsequent to July 31, 2009, that would require disclosure in this Form 10-Q or would be required to be recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Restatement of Previously Issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Subsequent to the issuance of the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended October 31, 2008, the Company determined that interest income and certain components of other income were not presented in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X, Article 5, Rule 5-03, “Income Statement.” In the interim period for the quarter ended July 31, 2008, the Company included interest income and certain components of other income in the determination of total revenues. The Company has revised its presentation of interest income and certain components of other income to “other (income) and expenses” in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated statement of operations, as well as in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, where affected, have been restated to conform to this new presentation. The Company does not believe that this restatement is material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Reclassification of Previously Issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company previously included interest expense together with cost of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses in the determination of total operating expenses. The Company has reclassified interest expense to “other (income) and expenses” in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the quarter ended July 31, 2008, to conform to this new presentation.
NOTE 3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) unanimously voted for the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) to be effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Other than resolving certain minor inconsistencies in current U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Codification is not meant to change GAAP, but is intended to make it easier to find and research GAAP applicable to particular transactions or specific accounting issues. The Codification is a new structure that organizes existing accounting pronouncements into approximately 90 accounting topics. Once approved, the Codification will be the single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP. All guidance included in the Codification will be considered authoritative at that time, even guidance that comes from what is currently deemed to be a non-authoritative section of a standard. Once the Codification becomes effective, all non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. The Company plans to adopt the Codification in the second quarter of fiscal 2010.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS 168”), which replaces SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS 162”). SFAS 168 establishes the Codification as the single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. SEC rules and interpretive releases are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS 168 modifies the GAAP hierarchy to include only two levels of GAAP: authoritative and non-authoritative. SFAS 168 will be effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company will adjust historical GAAP references beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 to reflect the accounting guidance references included in the Codification. As SFAS 168 is not intended to change or alter existing GAAP, it will not have an impact on the determination or reporting of the Company’s financial results.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS 165”). SFAS 165 modifies the names of the two types of subsequent events and, for public entities, modifies the definition of subsequent events to refer to events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. Also, SFAS 165 requires that entities disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and the basis for that date. SFAS 165 was effective for all interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted SFAS 165 in the first quarter of fiscal 2010.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (“FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2”). This FSP amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments in the financial statements. The most significant change the FSP brings is a revision to the amount of other-than-temporary loss of a debt security recorded in earnings. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 was effective

for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted this FSP in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The Company has determined that adoption did not have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of the Company’s financial results.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB No. 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (“FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”). This FSP requires disclosure about the fair value of financial instruments for publicly traded companies in interim reporting periods, as well as in annual reporting periods. The Company adopted the provisions of FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. See Note 11 for fair value disclosure of the Company’s financial instruments.
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; non-controlling 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) was effective on a prospective basis for all business combinations for which the acquisition date occurred 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). The Company has determined that the adoption of this statement did not have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of the Company’s financial results.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP 142-3, Determining the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 was designed to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”), and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, and other guidance under GAAP. The Company adopted FSP 142-3 in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The Company has determined that adoption of this FSP did not have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of the Company’s financial results.
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. The effects of adoption are determined by the types of instruments carried at fair value in the Company’s financial statements at the time of adoption, as well as the method utilized to determine their fair values prior to adoption. SFAS 157 was effective for financial assets and liabilities on May 1, 2008, and it was effective for non-financial assets and liabilities, including assets measured at fair value due to impairments, on May 1, 2009. The Company has determined that this statement did not have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of the Company’s financial results.

NOTE 4. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has three (3) outstanding types of equity-based incentive compensation instruments in effect with employees, non-employee directors and certain outside service providers: stock options, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock. These equity-based instruments have been granted under the terms of the Company’s 2000 Stock Award Plan (the “2000 Award Plan”). The total number of shares that can be granted under the 2000 Award Plan is 1,155,000 shares. The Company typically uses authorized, unissued shares to provide shares for these equity-based instruments.
For the quarter ended July 31, 2009, total equity-based compensation expenses were $50,297, and the related income tax benefits were $18,908. Comparatively, for the quarter ended July 31, 2008, total equity-based compensation expenses were $48,843, and the related income tax benefits were $18,559. All of these expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. At July 31, 2009, there were total unrecognized equity-based compensation expenses of $262,736 that are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.8 years.

The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The risk-free interest rate utilized in the Black-Scholes calculation is the interest rate of the U.S. Treasury Bill having the same maturity period as the expected life of the stock option awards. The expected life of the stock options granted is based on the estimated holding period of the awarded stock options. The expected volatility of the stock options granted is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock over the preceding five-year period using the month-end closing stock price.
Compensation expenses related to the vesting of options for the quarters ended July 31, 2009, and July 31, 2008, were $7,979 and $1,688, respectively, and the related income tax benefits were $3,055 and $641, respectively.

Shares of Restricted Stock
Periodically, the Company has awarded shares of restricted stock to employees, non-employee directors and certain outside service providers. The awards are recorded at fair market value on the date of grant and typically vest over a period of one (1) year. As of July 31, 2009, there were unrecognized compensation expenses totaling $5,382 related to grants of shares of restricted stock, which the Company expects to be recognized over the ensuing year. Compensation expenses related to the vesting of shares of restricted stock for the quarters ended July 31, 2009, and July 31, 2008, were $3,282 and $2,735, respectively, and the related income tax benefits were $1,248 and $1,039, respectively.

(1)   The Parent Company’s net loss in each period was derived from corporate headquarters activities and consisted primarily of the following: Parent Company executive officers’ compensation and costs related to the Company’s status as a publicly-held company, which include, among other items, legal fees, compliance costs, non-employee director’s fees, and other reporting costs. The corporate headquarters activities do not earn revenue. All relevant costs related to the business operations of the Company’s operating segments are either paid directly by the respective operating segments or are allocated to the segments by the Parent. The allocation method is dependent on the nature of each expense item. Allocated expenses include, among other items, accounting services, information technology services, insurance costs, and audit and tax preparation fees.
NOTE 7. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed giving effect to dilutive stock equivalents resulting from outstanding stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. The potential dilutive effect on the number of common shares for the first three (3) months of fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009 was 0 shares and 203,278 shares, respectively. Because the Company had a loss from continuing operations for the quarter ended July 31, 2009, as well as for the quarter ended July 31, 2008, all stock equivalents were anti-dilutive during these periods, and therefore, are excluded when determining the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding.

The Company performed the annual impairment analysis of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for the BPE Segment in the quarter ended January 31, 2009, as required by SFAS 142. The annual analysis resulted in a determination of no impairment. As of July 31, 2009, there were no indicators of impairment. All of the Company’s goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are assigned to the BPE Segment, which has also been determined to be the reporting unit.
NOTE 9. ACQUISITIONS
Fiscal 2010
There were no acquisitions in the first quarter of fiscal 2010.
Fiscal 2009
On June 6, 2008, Atlantic Lighting & Supply Co., LLC (“AL&S LLC”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain operating liabilities of Atlantic Lighting & Supply Co., Inc. (the “Seller”), for a total consideration, including the assumption of certain operating liabilities, of approximately $1.5 million (excluding acquisition costs). The Seller was engaged in the business of distributing energy efficient lighting products to building owners and operators, and the Company is continuing to conduct this business. The acquisition was made pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated June 6, 2008, between the Company, AL&S LLC, the Seller, and the shareholders of the Seller (the “Agreement”). The consideration consisted of 17,381 newly-issued shares of the Company’s common stock, with a fair value of $91,250, the payment of approximately $618,000 in cash to the Seller, the payment of approximately $165,000 in cash to satisfy outstanding debt to two (2) lenders of the Seller, and the assumption of certain operating liabilities of the Seller that totaled approximately $584,000. The amounts and types of the consideration were determined through negotiations among the parties.
Pursuant to the Agreement, AL&S LLC acquired substantially all of the assets of the Seller, including cash, accounts receivable, inventory, personal property and equipment, proprietary information, intellectual property, and the Seller’s right, title, and interest to assigned contracts. Only certain specified operating liabilities of the Seller were assumed, including executory obligations under assigned contracts and certain current balance sheet operating liabilities.

NOTE 10. INCOME-PRODUCING PROPERTIES
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the anchor tenant of the Company’s owned office building in Newnan, Georgia, defaulted on its lease obligations, and subsequently vacated its leased space during the first quarter of fiscal 2010. Accordingly, the Company does not anticipate that this tenant will make any additional lease payments. In April 2009, the Company offered to transfer its interest in the property to the mortgage lender to satisfy its repayment obligations under the loan.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company forwarded the monthly cash flow generated by the property to the lender as partial monthly debt service payments, and pursuant to certain provisions of the loan, the lender satisfied the balance of each monthly mortgage payment with funds the Company had previously set aside in a reserve account held by the lender. As a result, as of July 31, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all provisions of the mortgage loan, and the loan was current with the lender.
In August and September 2009, the Company continued to forward the monthly cash flow generated by the property to the lender as additional partial monthly debt service payments. However, the lender recently notified the Company that, beginning in August 2009, it has elected not to utilize the funds in the reserve account to satisfy the remaining balance of the monthly debt service payments. Therefore, the loan is no longer current with the lender. The lender also advised the Company that it is in the process of selling the mortgage loan to a third party, and expects this transaction to close during the Company’s second fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2009.
Exculpatory provisions of the mortgage loan limit the Company’s liability for repayment to its interest in the property. The Company’s offer to transfer its interest in the property to the current lender remains outstanding, and the Company also intends to offer to transfer its interest in the property to any new loan holder, if and when such transaction ultimately occurs.
NOTE 11. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities.
As of July 31, 2009, the Company had the following assets and liabilities that represent financial instruments: a certificate of deposit (“CD”), mortgage notes payable, and other long-term debt.
The CD, which had a balance of $450,000 as of July 31, 2009, is included within “Other assets” in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. This CD secures a letter of credit, which is required by the terms of the mortgage on one of the Company’s owned office buildings. Based on the rates currently available on certificates of deposit with similar terms, the CD’s carrying amount approximates its fair value as of July 31, 2009.
Based on the borrowing rates currently available for mortgage notes with similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of mortgage notes payable was $16,739,118 as of July 31, 2009. Based on the borrowing rates currently available for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of other long-term debt was $1,013,780 as of July 31, 2009.
NOTE 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is subject to legal proceedings and other claims that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the final outcome of any such matters would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements, including the notes to those statements, which are presented elsewhere in this report. The Company also recommends that this discussion and analysis be read in conjunction with management’s discussion and analysis section and the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2009.
The following discussion has been updated to reflect the restatements and the reclassification discussed in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company’s fiscal year 2010 will end on April 30, 2010.
The Company expects the BPE Segment to be cash flow positive by the end of fiscal 2010, with revenues continuing to grow. Although BPE backlog at July 31, 2009, increased by 26% from the backlog at July 31, 2008, revenues exceeded new orders during the quarter ended July 31, 2009, resulting in a decrease of 17% from the backlog at April 30, 2009. The Company anticipates strong growth from the government sector to support revenue growth over a longer time horizon, in addition to multi-year programs that have already begun with large customers in the private sector. The Company offers the government sector many of the same offerings provided to private sector customers, including energy savings projects and other energy efficiency-focused products and services, usually by acting as a subcontractor to large energy services company (“ESCO”) partners to provide services to end-user government agency facilities. Through this channel, the BPE Segment provides services to a wide range of government facilities, including U.S. military bases, federal and state prisons, and large public educational facilities and school districts. The Company believes that future growth in BPE’s government business should be underpinned by two (2) recent U.S. Government actions: in December 2008, the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) announced a program to fund $80 billion of energy savings performance contracts with sixteen (16) large ESCOs to improve energy efficiency of government buildings; and in February 2009, President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which will provide an additional approximately $75 billion for the performance of energy efficiency projects in government buildings. The Company has existing business relationships with half of these sixteen (16) selected ESCOs and a long history of providing these exact types of services for the government sector. The Company believes that it should be well positioned to perform a significant amount of these funded projects.
While the potential market demand for the BPE Segment’s offerings appears to be promising, there can be no assurance that this will result in sustained revenue growth, particularly if recent macro-economic conditions were to continue, or worsen, for an extended period of time.
The Company’s Real Estate Segment is in the business of creating long-term value by periodically realizing gains through the sale of existing real estate assets, and then redeploying its capital by reinvesting the proceeds from such sales in new real estate assets or in other segments of the Company. The Company has historically generated substantial liquidity from such periodic sales of its real estate assets held for investment. However, the current real estate portfolio consists of a limited number of properties, and given recent declines in commercial real estate values in the United States, the Company may be unable to sell any of its real estate assets, at acceptable prices or at all, in the near future.

Table of Contents

The loss from operations during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 resulted in significant usage of the Company’s cash. However, the Company believes that it has, or can obtain, sufficient capital resources to operate its business in the ordinary course until the BPE Segment begins to generate sufficient cash flow from operations. There can be no guarantee that this will be the case, however, particularly if recent macro-economic conditions continue, or worsen, for an extended period of time. See “Liquidity and capital resources” for more information.
Results of operations of the first quarter of fiscal 2010, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
In the following charts, changes in revenues, cost of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses, and loss from continuing operations before income taxes from period to period are analyzed on a segment basis, net of intersegment eliminations. For net earnings and similar profit information on a consolidated basis, please refer to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. For net earnings presented by segment before intercompany eliminations, refer to Note 6 “Operating Segments” to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
REVENUES
From Continuing Operations
For the first quarter of fiscal 2010, consolidated revenues from continuing operations, net of inter-segment eliminations, were $4,629,203 compared to $3,524,537 for the first quarter of fiscal 2009, an increase of approximately 31%.

    BPE Segment revenues increased by approximately $1,153,000, or 42%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the same period in fiscal 2009, primarily due to:
  (a)   an increase in energy savings (lighting and mechanical) project revenues of approximately $1,066,000; and
 
  (b)   an increase in lighting product revenues of approximately $198,000 generated by the Company’s lighting distribution business that was acquired in June 2009, as the lighting distribution business was operated by the Company for the entire first quarter of fiscal 2010, whereas it was operated by the Company for only a portion of the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
(2)   Real Estate Segment revenues decreased by $48,000, or 6%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the same period in fiscal 2009, primarily due to a one-time early lease termination payment received in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

(1)   BPE backlog at July 31, 2009, increased by approximately $1,698,000, or 26%, compared to the year-earlier period, primarily due to:
  (a)   an increase of approximately $2,994,000 in energy savings (lighting and mechanical) projects; partially offset by:
  (b)   a decrease of approximately $178,000 in productivity software products and services; and
 
  (c)   a decrease of approximately $1,118,000 in energy management consulting services, primarily as a result of the successful completion of approximately $800,000 of multi-year consulting services projects.
    The Company estimates that a substantial majority of the BPE backlog at July 31, 2009, will be recognized prior to July 31, 2010.
 
    BPE backlog includes some contracts that can be cancelled by customers with less than one (1) year’s notice, and assumes that such cancellation provisions will not be invoked. The value of such contracts included in the prior year’s backlog that were subsequently cancelled was approximately $104,000, or 1.6%.
(2)   Real Estate backlog at July 31, 2009, decreased by approximately $415,000 compared to the year-earlier period, primarily due to a decrease in rental revenues at the Company’s owned office building located in Newnan, Georgia, due to the anchor tenant’s default (see Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements).
 
(3)   Represents rental revenues at the Company’s owned headquarters building to be paid to the Real Estate Segment by the Parent Company and the BPE Segment.

NOTES TO CHART C
(1)   BPE Segment SG&A expenses decreased by approximately $49,000, or 3%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the same period in fiscal 2009, primarily due to a decrease in product development expenses and general administrative expenses, partially offset by higher sales and marketing expenses.
On a percentage-of-revenues basis, BPE Segment SG&A expenses decreased by 17% in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the same period of fiscal 2009, primarily due to the increase in revenues (see Chart A) without a corresponding proportional increase in expenses.
(2)   Parent SG&A expenses increased by approximately $41,000, or 5%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the same period of fiscal 2009, primarily due to:
  (a)   an increase in accounting and other non-legal compliance costs of approximately $66,000;
     partially offset by:
  (b)   a decrease in legal fees of approximately $33,000 because of costs incurred in the prior year primarily related to the settlement of an insurance claim.
On a percentage-of-revenues basis, Parent SG&A expenses decreased by 4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the same period of fiscal 2009, primarily due to the increase in revenues (see Chart A) without a corresponding proportional increase in expenses.
LOSS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS BEFORE INCOME TAXES
Consolidated loss before income taxes from continuing operations was $1,194,723 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, compared to $1,372,120 in the same period of fiscal year 2009, a reduction in the loss of $177,397, or 13%.

NOTES TO CHART D
(1)   BPE Segment loss before income taxes decreased by approximately $329,000, or 73%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the same period in fiscal 2009, primarily due to an increase in revenues of approximately $1,153,000 (see Chart A), an increase in gross margin of approximately $281,000, and a decrease in SG&A expenses of approximately $49,000 (see Chart C).
 
(2)   Real Estate Segment loss before income taxes increased by approximately $104,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the same period in fiscal 2009, primarily due to a decrease in revenues of approximately $48,000 (see Chart A), an increase in cost of revenues of approximately $34,000 (see Chart B), a decrease in SG&A expenses of approximately $9,000 (see Chart C), a decrease in interest expense of approximately $12,000, and a decrease in interest and other income of approximately $42,000.
 
(3)   Parent loss before income taxes increased by approximately $48,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the same period in fiscal 2009, due to an increase in SG&A expenses of approximately $41,000 (see Chart C) and a decrease in interest and other income of approximately $7,000.
INCOME TAX BENEFIT
The Company’s effective rate for income taxes, based upon estimated annual income tax rates, approximated 40.9% of the loss from continuing operations before income taxes for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and 38.2% for the comparable period in fiscal year 2009.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Between April 30, 2009, and July 31, 2009, working capital decreased by $1,286,297, or 18%, and cash decreased by $1,496,823, or 31%.
The following describes the changes in the Company’s cash from April 30, 2009, to July 31, 2009:
Operating activities used cash of approximately $1,071,000, primarily as a result of:
  (a)   current year losses from continuing operations before depreciation, amortization and income taxes of approximately $850,000;
 
  (b)   an increase in other current and long-term assets of approximately $332,000, due primarily to an increase in accrued revenues on energy management projects; and.
 
  (c)   a net decrease in trade accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities of approximately $217,000, due to the timing and submission of payments;
  partially offset by:
  (d)   an increase in billings in excess of costs and earnings of approximately $716,000; partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable (net of changes in the provision for doubtful accounts) of approximately $173,000 and an increase in costs and earnings in excess of billings of approximately $289,000. These changes are primarily as a result of the timing of billings and receipt of payments.

23


Table of Contents

Investing activities used cash of approximately $157,000, primarily as a result of:
  (a)   approximately $129,000 used for additions to income-producing properties related to building improvements; and
 
  (b)   approximately $66,000 used for additions to intangible assets, primarily related to the development of enhancements to the BPE Segment’s proprietary building productivity software solutions;
  partially offset by:
  (c)   approximately $57,000 provided by the release of restricted cash previously held in escrow.
Financing activities used cash of approximately $268,000 primarily for:
  (a)   payment of the regular quarterly cash dividends to shareholders of approximately $75,000;
 
  (b)   scheduled principal payments on real estate mortgage notes of approximately $93,000; and
 
  (c)   scheduled principal payments on other long-term debt of approximately $100,000.
Cash usage during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was primarily due to current losses from operations. The Company believes that it has, or can obtain, sufficient capital resources to operate its business in the ordinary course until the BPE Segment begins to generate sufficient cash flow from operations, although there can be no guarantee that this will be the case, particularly if recent macro-economic conditions continue, or worsen, for an extended period of time.
The Company has historically generated substantial liquidity from the periodic sales of real estate assets. As a result, the current real estate portfolio consists of a limited number of properties. Given the recent decline in commercial real estate values in the United States, the Company may be unable to sell any of its real estate assets in the near future at acceptable prices, or at all. The Company in recent years has not utilized bank lines of credit for operating purposes and does not currently have in place any such lines of credit. The Company does have the ability, however, to receive approximately $1,000,000 in loans against its interest in the cash surrender value of certain life insurance policies.
The Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures; however, the Company does expect that capital spending in fiscal year 2010 will approximate $500,000, with BPE Segment capital expenditures approximating $350,000, and the remainder of capital expected to be spent for replacement of computer hardware and Company vehicles. Other significant uses of cash are anticipated to be scheduled repayments of the Company’s real estate mortgage obligations and the cash requirements of corporate headquarters. The Company’s uses of cash are not expected to change materially in the near future, with the exception of discretionary Real Estate capital expenditures, which may increase if significant tenant improvements are needed for new tenant lease build-outs. This use of cash would be recovered during the terms of the new leases by the additional rental income.
In the event that currently available cash, cash generated from operations, and funds borrowed against the Company’s interest in life insurance policies were not sufficient to meet future cash requirements, the Company would need to sell real estate assets, seek external debt financing or refinancing of existing

Table of Contents

debt, seek to raise funds through the issuance of equity securities, or limit growth or curtail operations to levels consistent with the constraints imposed by available cash and cash flow, or any combination of these options. The Company’s ability to secure debt or equity financing or to sell real estate assets could be limited by economic and financial conditions at any time, but likely would be severely limited by credit and real estate market conditions similar to those that have existed in recent fiscal quarters. Management cannot provide assurance that any reductions in planned expenditures or in operations would be sufficient to cover potential shortfalls in available cash, or that debt or equity financing or real estate asset sales would be available on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.
The Company has four (4) mortgage notes on long-term real estate assets and two (2) other long-term debt obligations. The long-term debt obligations have no financial or non-financial covenants. The Company’s mortgage notes do not contain any financial covenants, with the exception of a guarantee on one (1) of its real estate mortgage loans that requires a Company subsidiary to maintain a net worth of at least $4 million. The subsidiary’s net worth was approximately $15.8 million as of July 31, 2009.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A critical accounting policy is one which is both important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial position and results of operations, and requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. In preparing these financial statements, the Company has made its best estimates and used its best judgments regarding certain amounts included in the financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. The application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and the use of assumptions regarding future uncertainties, and as a result, actual results could differ from those estimates. Management believes that the Company’s most critical accounting policies include:
Revenue Recognition
Revenues derived from implementation, training, support, and base service license fees from customers accessing the Company’s proprietary building productivity software on an application service provider (ASP) basis are recognized in accordance with the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 104, Revenue Recognition (“SAB 104”). For these sources of revenues, the Company recognizes revenues when all of the following conditions are met: there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; service has been provided to the customer; the collection of fees is probable; and the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed and determinable. The Company’s license arrangements do not include general rights of return. Revenues are recognized ratably over the contract period, which is typically no longer than twelve (12) months, beginning on the commencement date of each contract. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and in revenue or deferred revenue, depending on the timing of when the revenue recognition criteria have been met. Additionally, the Company defers such direct costs and amortizes them over the same time period as the revenue is recognized.
Energy management services are accounted for separately and are recognized as the services are rendered in accordance with SAB 104. Revenues derived from sales of proprietary building productivity software solutions (other than ASP solutions) and hardware products are recognized when the software solutions and products are sold.
Energy savings project revenues are reported on the percentage-of-completion method, using costs incurred to date in relation to estimated total costs of the contracts to measure the stage of completion. Original contract prices are adjusted for change orders in the amounts that are reasonably estimated and in accordance with Statement of Position 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts (“SOP 81-1”). The nature of the change orders usually involves a change in the scope of the project, for example, a change in the number or type of units being installed. The price of change orders is based on the specific materials, labor, and other project costs affected. In accordance with SOP 81-1, paragraph 61, contract revenue and costs are adjusted to reflect change orders when they are approved by both the Company and its customer for both scope and price. For a change order that is unpriced; that is, the scope of the work to be performed is defined, but the adjustment to the contract price is to be negotiated later, the Company evaluates the particular circumstances of that specific instance in determining whether to adjust the contract revenue and/or costs related to the change order. For unpriced change orders, the Company will record revenue in excess of costs related to a change order on a contract only when the Company deems that the adjustment to the contract price is probable based on its historical experience with that customer in accordance with SOP 81-1, paragraph 62. The cumulative effects of changes in estimated total contract costs and revenues

26


Table of Contents

(change orders) are recorded in the period in which the facts requiring such revisions become known, and are accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method. At the time it is determined that a contract is expected to result in a loss, the entire estimated loss is recorded. Energy efficient lighting product revenues are recognized when the products are shipped.
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 terms. The lease term usually begins when the tenant takes possession of, or controls the physical use of, the leased asset. Generally, this occurs on the lease commencement date. In determining what constitutes a 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 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 space, and any improvement allowances funded by the Company pursuant to the terms of 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 who 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 the 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 shares of property operating and common area expenses, real estate taxes, and insurance costs, which additional rental amounts are recognized only when earned. In addition, certain retail leases require tenants to pay incremental rental amounts, which are contingent upon their stores’ sales. These percentage rents are recognized only if and when earned and are not recognized on a straight-line basis.
Revenues from the sales of real estate assets are recognized when all of the following has occurred: (1) the property is transferred from the Company to the buyer; (2) the buyer’s initial and continuing investment is adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property; and (3) the buyer has assumed all future ownership risks of the property. Costs of sales related to sales of real estate assets are based on the specific property sold. If a portion or unit of a property is sold, a proportionate share of the total cost of the property is charged to cost of sales.
Long-Lived Assets: Income-Producing Properties, Capitalized Software, and Property and Equipment
Income-producing properties are stated at historical cost or, if the Company determines that impairment has occurred, at fair market value, and are depreciated for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the respective estimated useful lives 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.

27


Table of Contents

Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost and are depreciated for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.
The Company’s most significant long-lived assets are income-producing properties held in its Real Estate Segment. 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. Such review takes place on a quarterly basis. The types of events and circumstances that might indicate impairment in the Real Estate Segment include, but are not limited to, those items listed in SFAS 144, paragraph 8, as well as other real estate specific factors as follows:
    A significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset;
 
    A significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset is being used or in its physical condition;
 
    A significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of a long-lived asset, including an adverse action or assessment by a regulator;
 
    An accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of a long-lived asset;
 
    A current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset;
 
    A current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life;
 
    The Company has recently sold similar income-producing properties at losses;
 
    The Company has received purchase offers at prices below carrying value;
 
    Income-producing properties that have significant vacancy rates or significant rollover exposure from one or more tenants;
 
    A major tenant experiencing financial difficulties that may jeopardize the tenant’s ability to meet its lease obligations;
 
    Depressed market conditions;
 
    Presence of a new competitive property constructed in the asset’s market area; and
 
    Evidence of significant corrective measures required to cure structural problems, physical obsolescence, or deterioration of essential building components.
In accordance with paragraph 4 of SFAS 144, the Company has determined that the lowest level of identifiable cash flows for long-lived assets in its Real Estate Segment is at each of the individual income-producing properties. Each of these income producing properties operates independent of one another,

28


Table of Contents

and financial information for these properties is recorded on an individual property basis. When there are indicators of impairment, the recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset against the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. The Company estimates future undiscounted cash flows of the Real Estate Segment using assumptions regarding occupancy, counter-party creditworthiness, costs of leasing including tenant improvements and leasing commissions, rental rates and expenses of the property, as well as the expected holding period and cash to be received from disposition. The Company has considered all of these factors in its undiscounted cash flows.
The BPE Segment has long-lived assets that consist primarily of capitalized software costs, classified as intangible assets, net on the balance sheet, as well as a portion of the property and equipment on the balance sheet. Software development costs are accounted 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.
Events or circumstances which would trigger an impairment analysis of these long-lived assets include:
    A change in the estimated remaining useful life of the asset;
 
    A change in the manner in which the asset is used in the income generating business of the Company; or
 
    A current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses, or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset.
Long-lived assets in the BPE Segment are grouped together for purposes of impairment analysis, as assets and liabilities of the BPE Segment are not independent of one another. Annually at the end of the fiscal third quarter, unless events or circumstances occur in the interim as discussed above, the Company reviews its BPE Segment’s long-lived assets for impairment. Future undiscounted cash flows of the segment, as measured in its goodwill impairment analysis, are used to determine whether impairment of long-lived assets exists in the BPE Segment.
Valuation of Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed for impairment annually at the end of the fiscal third quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying basis of an asset may not be recoverable, as required in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”). All of the Company’s goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are assigned to the BPE Segment, which has also been determined to be the reporting unit.

The Company performed the annual impairment analysis of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for the BPE Segment in the quarter ended January 31, 2009, as required by SFAS 142. The annual analysis resulted in a determination of no impairment. As of July 31, 2009, there were no indicators of impairment.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and to tax loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company periodically reviews its deferred tax assets (“DTA”) to assess whether it is more likely than not that a tax asset will not be realized. The realization of a DTA ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income. A valuation allowance is established against a DTA if there is not sufficient evidence that it will be realized. The Company weighs all available evidence in order to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that a DTA will be realized in a future period. The Company considers general economic conditions, market and industry conditions, as well as internal Company specific conditions, trends, management plans, and other data in making this determination.
Evidence considered is weighted according to the degree that it can be objectively verified. Reversals of temporary differences are weighted with more significance than projections of future earnings of the Company.
Positive evidence considered includes, among others, the following: deferred tax liabilities in excess of DTA, future reversals of temporary differences, Company historical evidence of not having DTAs expire prior to utilization, long carryforward period remaining for net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards, lack of cumulative taxable loss in recent years, taxable income projections that conclude that NOL carryforwards will be utilized prior to expiration, and evidence of appreciated real estate holdings planned to be sold prior to expiration of the NOL carryforward period.
Negative evidence considered includes, among others, the fact that the current real estate market conditions and lack of readily available credit could make it difficult for the Company to trigger gains on sales of real estate.
The valuation allowance currently recorded against the DTA for state NOL carryforwards was recorded for certain separate return limitation years. These were years that the separate legal entities generated tax losses prior to the filing of a consolidated tax return. In order for these losses to be utilized in the future, the legal entity which generated the losses must generate the taxable income to offset it. The allowance was recorded as management determined that it was not more-likely-than-not that these losses would be utilized prior to expiration.

The Company will have to generate $7.3 million of pre-tax income in future years to realize the federal NOL carryforwards and an additional $21.9 million of pre-tax book income in future years to realize the state NOL carryforwards. This amount of pre-tax book income would allow for the reversal of the $3.6 million DTA related to NOL carryforwards. There is a long carryforward period remaining for the NOL carryforwards. The oldest federal NOL carryforwards will expire in the April 30, 2024, tax-year and the most recent federal NOL carryforwards will expire in the April 30, 2028, tax-year. The significant state NOL carryforwards will also expire between the April 30, 2024, and April 30, 2028, tax years. The Company has no material permanent book/tax differences.
The Company has no material FIN 48 obligations. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense (benefit) in the consolidated statement of operations.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes in the Company’s market risk since April 30, 2009. Refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2009, for detailed disclosures about quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management has evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this report. This evaluation was carried out with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. No system of controls, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the system of controls are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that the system of controls has operated effectively in all cases. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, however, are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met.
Based on management’s evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of the end of the period covered by this report, to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures were met.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
