ARGYLE SECURITY, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2008

 

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

 

Argyle Security, Inc. is the parent company whose primary business operations are conducted under the name Argyle Security USA (which consists of the business of our wholly-owned subsidiary ISI Security Group, Inc. and all of its operating subsidiaries). We refer to Argyle Security USA as “AUSA” in this document and where the context indicates, to the historical business of ISI Security Group, Inc. as ISI.

 

Argyle Security, Inc. (formerly Argyle Security Acquisition Corporation) (the Company, we, us, our, or Argyle) was incorporated in Delaware in June 2005 as a blank check company formed to acquire, through merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, or other similar business combination, a business in the security industry. On July 31, 2007, Argyle consummated its initial acquisition through the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of ISI Detention Contracting Group, Inc. (ISI) and its subsidiaries. Prior to the acquisition of ISI, Argyle had no operations and was considered a developmental stage enterprise. ISI is deemed to be a “predecessor” to the Company.   As a result, the statements of operations and statements of cash flows of ISI for three months ended March 31, 2007 are presented for comparative purposes. The results of operations and cash flows on a consolidated basis subsequent to the acquisition of ISI are not comparative to the predecessor ISI results of operations and cash flows because the basis for the acquired assets and liabilities of ISI have been adjusted to fair value pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations.

 

In February 2008, we reorganized our business under the name of Argyle Security USA, or AUSA, through which we provide physical security solutions to commercial, governmental, and correctional customers.  Argyle Security USA has two reporting segments, Argyle Corrections and Argyle Commercial Security.

 

Argyle Corrections consists of all of our businesses in the corrections sector including ISI, Metroplex Control Systems (MCS) as well as Com-Tec Security LLC (Com-Tec) and Peterson Detention, Inc. (PDI).  Com-Tec and PDI were acquired in January 2008.  This segment includes:

 

· ISI (also referred to historically as ISI-Detention) designs, engineers, supplies, installs, and maintains a full array of detention systems and equipment, targeting correctional facilities throughout the United States;

 

· Metroplex Control Systems (also referred to historically as MCS-Detention) designs, engineers, supplies, installs and maintains complex, customized security, access control, video and electronic security control system solutions at correctional and government facilities;

 

· PDI is a full-service, turnkey solutions provider that manufactures high security metal barriers, high security observation window systems, detention furniture and accessories; and

 

· Com-Tec is an industry leader in the custom design and manufacture of electronic security and communications systems.

 

Argyle Commercial Security focuses on the commercial security sector and provides turnkey, electronic security systems to the commercial market. Currently, MCS Commercial Fire & Security is the only member of this group and is referred to historically as MCS-Commercial.

 

AUSA is a detention and commercial equipment contractor that specializes in turnkey installations, including design, engineering, supply, and installation of various detention equipment for correctional facilities and institutions. The work is performed under fixed-price contracts. The projects are located in various cities in the United States. The length of the contracts varies but is typically less than two years. AUSA also provides turnkey installations covering the full spectrum of electronic security and low voltage systems, including fire alarm, access control, closed circuit television, intercom, sound/paging, and other custom designed systems.

 

On January 1, 2008, MCFSA, Ltd. (MCFSA), all of the partnership interests of which are directly or indirectly wholly owned by AUSA, acquired substantially all of the business assets and liabilities of Fire Quest Inc. (Fire Quest). Fire Quest is engaged in the business of alarm system sales and service.

ARGYLE SECURITY, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2008

 

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation – (continued)

 

On January 4, 2008, AUSA acquired substantially all of the business assets and liabilities of PDI.  PDI is a full-service, turnkey solutions provider that manufactures high security metal barriers, high security observation window systems, detention furniture and accessories.

 

On January 31, 2008, ISI Controls, Ltd. (ISI-Controls), a wholly owned subsidiary of AUSA, which in turn is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, closed a transaction, pursuant to which ISI-Controls acquired 100% of the outstanding units of Com-Tec, resulting in Com-Tec becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of ISI-Controls. Com-Tec is engaged in the business of custom design, manufacture and installation of electronic security and communication systems.

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Argyle as of March 31, 2008 and for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 include the accounts of the Company and all wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.  In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year.

 

Pro Forma Results of Operations

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations only reflect the operating results of companies acquired following the date of acquisition and do not reflect the operating results prior to the acquisitions. Following are pro forma unaudited results of operations for the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 assuming the Fire Quest, PDI and Com-Tec acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

The Company derived the unaudited pro forma results of operations from (i) the unaudited consolidated financial statements of ISI from January 1, 2007 to March 31, 2007, (ii) the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Com-Tec for the one month ended January 31, 2008 and the three months ended March 31, 2007, (iii) the unaudited financial statements of PDI for the three months ended March 31, 2007, (iv) the unaudited financial statements of Fire Quest for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and (v) the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. The unaudited pro forma results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results of operations that may have actually occurred had the acquisitions taken place on the dates noted, or the future financial position or operating results of the Company. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. The pro forma adjustments include adjustments for interest expense and increased depreciation and amortization expense as a result of the application of the purchase method of accounting based on the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets.

Note 2 — Background, Formation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Argyle completed a private placement (the Private Placement) in January 2006 and received net proceeds of approximately $0.9 million. Also in January 2006, the registration statement for Argyle’s initial public offering (Public Offering) was declared effective, and the net proceeds from the sale of Argyle’s units, after deducting certain offering expenses of approximately $2.4 million, including underwriting discounts of approximately $1.8 million, were approximately $28.2 million. Approximately $27.3 million of the proceeds from the Public Offering and the Private Placement were placed in a trust account for Argyle’s benefit. Except for $0.6 million in interest that was earned on the funds contained in the trust account and that was released to Argyle to be used as working capital, and the amounts released to Argyle for the payment of taxes, Argyle was not able to access the amounts held in the trust until it consummated a business combination. The amounts held outside of the trust account were used by Argyle to provide for business, legal, and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. Prior to releasing the funds held in trust, the trust account contained $1.4 million reserved for the compensation of Argyle’s underwriters in its Public Offering which was paid to them upon completion of the business combination. All amounts held in trust were released at July 31, 2007 to fund the ISI acquisition.

 

On March 14, 2007, the underwriters from Argyle’s Public Offering agreed to forfeit any and all rights or claims to a pro-rata portion of the deferred underwriting costs and associated interest with respect to any shares of common stock redeemed in connection with any acquisition (see Note 16). In connection with the Public Offering and the Private Placement, Argyle’s officers and directors placed all the shares owned by them before the Private Placement and the Public Offering into an escrow account. Except in certain circumstances, the shares held in escrow may not be released prior to January 24, 2009.

 

As part of the ISI merger, public stockholders holding 211,965 of the aggregate number of shares sold in the Public Offering elected to redeem such shares (see Note 14). The per share redemption price was equal to $7.80 per share including interest earned thereon in the trust account, net of taxes payable, $0.6 million of interest income which was released from the trust account in September 2006 to fund our working capital, and amounts owed to the underwriter for the Private Placement (approximately $45,000 plus interest). Approximately $1.7 million was paid to redemptive shareholders in August of 2007.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents, and the carrying amounts approximate fair value.

 

Contracts Receivable

 

Contracts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for bad debts charged to earnings. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a receivable is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance for doubtful accounts is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based on historical experience and specifically identified questionable receivables. The evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

Note 2 — Background, Formation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)

 

Revenue Recognition

 

A majority of the Company’s revenues are performed under fixed-price construction contacts.  Revenues under fixed-price contracts are recognized under the percentage-of-completion methodology.  Service revenues are recognized when the services have been delivered to and accepted by the customer. Other revenues consists of product sales and are recognized upon shipment , or later if required by shipping terms, provided title is transferred, prices are fixed and collection is deemed probable.

 

Construction Contracts

 

Construction contracts are those as defined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position 81-1 (SOP 81-1), Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts.

 

Most of the Company’s contracts extend over a period of 12 to 16 months, which is the period the Company considers to be its operating cycle. Such contracts generally provide that the customers accept completion of progress to date and compensate the Company for services rendered measured in terms of units installed, hours expended, or some other measure of progress. Revenues from construction contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with SOP 81-1. The Company recognizes revenue on signed contracts and change orders. The Company generally recognizes revenue on unsigned change orders where it has written notices to proceed from the customer and where collection is deemed probable. Percentage-of-completion for construction contracts is measured principally by the percentage of costs incurred and accrued to date for each contract to the estimated total costs for each contract at completion. The Company generally considers contracts to be substantially complete upon departure from the work site and acceptance by the customer. Contract costs include all direct material, labor, subcontract, equipment costs, related payroll taxes and insurance costs, and any other indirect costs related to contract performance. Changes in job performance, job conditions, estimated contract costs, profitability, and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and the effects of these revisions are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Provisions for total estimated losses on incomplete contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined.

 

Pre-contract costs are costs that are incurred for a specific anticipated contract and that will result in no future benefits unless the contract is obtained. Such costs are expensed as incurred.

 

The balances billed but not paid by customers pursuant to retainage provisions in construction contracts will be due upon completion of the contracts and acceptance by the customer. Based on the Company’s experience with similar contracts in recent years, the retention balance at each balance sheet date will be collected within the subsequent fiscal year.

 

The current asset, “costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on incomplete contracts,” represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed which management believes will be billed and collected within the subsequent year. The current liability, “billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on incomplete contracts,” represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.

Note 2 — Background, Formation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)

 

Service Sales

 

Service sale revenue are recognized when the services have been delivered to and accepted by the customer.  These are generally short-term projects which are evidenced by signed service agreements or customer work orders or purchase orders.  These sales agreements/customer orders generally provide for billing to customers based on time at quoted hourly or project rates plus costs of materials and supplies furnished by the Company.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market and consists primarily of finished goods. Costs of finished goods are determined using the average cost method for all segments of AUSA. Inventory that was acquired from ISI has been stated at fair value at July 31, 2007; all subsequent purchases are recorded based on cost. The $1.0 million of inventory that was acquired from the Fire Quest, Com-Tec, and PDI acquisitions have been stated at fair value at the date of acquisition (see Note 3).  At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company’s inventory balance was $1.1 million and $138,000, respectively, which is included in other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, except for the plant and equipment acquired in the ISI acquisition which has been recorded at fair value at July 31, 2007; all subsequent purchases are recorded based on cost. The $1.2 million of property and equipment from the Fire Quest, Com-Tec, and PDI acquisitions have been stated at fair value at the date of acquisition (see Note 3).  Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method.

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends, and prospects, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors.

 

Assets Held Under Capital Leases

 

Assets held under capital leases are recorded at the lower of the net present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the asset at the inception of the lease. Amortization expense is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. Assets held under capital leases that were acquired from ISI have been stated at fair value as of July 31, 2007.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill represents the excess of consideration paid over the fair value of net assets acquired in the business combination in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles (trade name) are not amortized but are tested at least annually for impairment. The Company must recognize an impairment loss if, and to the extent that, goodwill exceeds fair value. The Company has determined that no impairment existed at March 31, 2008.

 

The Company has two primary reporting units (Corrections and Commercial) that provide different services and products. Accordingly, goodwill was allocated to each.  Management believes that the relationship between allocation of identified tangible and intangible assets to be in similar proportion to how goodwill is to be allocated among its reporting units. Accordingly, each reporting division was allocated its share of goodwill based upon its percentage of purchase price allocation related to identified tangible and intangible assets.

 

Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives which range from 96 to 120 months for customer relationships, 12 to 16 months for backlog and 24 to 36 months for non-competes.

During the first quarter of 2008, the Company increased goodwill from the ISI acquisition by $67,000 as a result of $26,000 of additional transaction costs ($22,000 registration fees and $4,000 in legal fees), a $12,000 write-down of stale checks outstanding (decrease in cash), and a $29,000 reduction in refundable taxes (current tax asset).

 

Software Costs

 

Software costs represent internally-developed software that is proprietary to the Company and assists in its operations. According to Statement of Position 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, the costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use are to be amortized on a straight-line basis unless another systematic and rational basis is more representative of the software’s use. Management does not believe there is another more rational basis and therefore the assets are amortized on the straight-line basis over a 36-month period.

Self Insurance

 

AUSA and Com-Tec are self-insured to certain limits under its group health and dental plans.  On an annual basis, the Company estimates its health insurance cost, for its self insured employee base at AUSA, based upon expected health insurance claims for the current year. The insurance company which provides both the stop loss and total aggregate insurance coverages also provides the average or expected and maximum claims for each class. The average and maximum claims are based on the Company’s demographics and prior claim history. The Company uses the average claims history for the trailing twelve months as its basis for accruing health care cost.

 

Warranty Reserve

 

One of the Company’s subsidiaries warrants its products against defects in design, materials and workmanship generally for periods ranging from one to two years.  A provision for estimated future costs relating to warranty expense is recorded when products are sold.  Management estimates the provision based primarily on historical warranty claim experience.  As of March 31, 2008, the warranty reserve was $118,000 and included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The recorded values of financial instruments, including contracts receivable, other assets, and accounts payable, approximate fair value due to their short maturity. The carrying value of the revolving line of credit approximates fair value due to its variable interest rate. The recorded value of the long-term debt approximates fair value based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for financing arrangements with similar terms and average maturities.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes are recorded pursuant to FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB No. 109 (FIN 48) and are based on enacted statutory rates to reflect the tax consequences in future years of the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts. Deferred tax assets which will generate future tax benefits are recognized to the extent that realization of such benefits through future taxable earnings or alternative tax strategies in the foreseeable short-term future is more likely than not. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

Reclassifications

 

Prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value.  In February 2008, the FASB released a FASB Staff Position, which delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the condensed consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. SFAS No. 157 was first effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 157 on our financial assets and liabilities, which are principally comprised of cash equivalents, did not have a significant impact on their fair value measurements or require expanded disclosures.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 permits all entities to choose to elect to measure eligible financial instruments at fair value. SFAS No. 159 applies to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted for an entity that has also elected to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157. The Company elected not to adopt the fair value option for valuation of those assets and liabilities which are eligible, therefore, there is no impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 141, which significantly changes the principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. The statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This statement is effective prospectively, except for certain retrospective adjustments to deferred tax balances, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 141(R) will have on our accounting for acquisitions prior to the effective date of the first fiscal year beginning after December 31, 2008.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS 160 requires non-controlling interests held by parties other than the parent in subsidiaries be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact SFAS No. 160 will have on our financial position and results of operations.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Contingencies

 

Certain conditions may exist as of the date of the consolidated balance sheet, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or its subsidiaries or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.  As of March 31, 2008, the Company did not have any loss contingencies.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk, as defined by SFAS No. 105, Disclosure of Information about Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentrations of Credit Risk, consist primarily of contract receivables. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, revenue from our top three customers (all from the Corrections segment), represented 42% of total Company revenues.  During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company had revenues from our top two customers (all from the Corrections segment), which represented 20% and 12% of total Company revenues. See Related-Party Transactions footnote (see Note 19) for discussion of transactions with ISI*MCS, Ltd.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Net income (loss) per share (basic) is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Net income (loss) per share (diluted) is calculated by adjusting the number of shares of common stock outstanding using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, an increase in the fair market value of the Company’s common stock results in a greater dilutive effect from outstanding warrants, options, restricted stock awards and convertible securities (common stock equivalents).

 

The following table reconciles the components of the basic and diluted net income (loss) per share:

In April 2008, as noted in the Note 22 – Subsequent Events, the Company issued 18,750 shares of $0.001 par value Series A Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to a $15.0 million private placement.

* Backlog associated with PDI is not included in the table above for Total Company and Corrections Segment as the associated
revenues are not accounted for under percentage of completion method as defined in SOP 81-1.

 

The various subsidiary companies often function as subcontractors to other subsidiary companies. The above schedule was computed on a consolidated basis in 2007. The company reorganized in January 2008 to report the business in two segments – Corrections and Commercial (see note 1 and note 20).  Since then the Company has determined that the most valid indicator of the next year’s performance will be more closely tied to the Corrections backlog versus the Commercial backlog which is more volatile given the shorter nature of completion for the contracts.

 

Intercompany contract amounts and billings have been eliminated, and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings have been recomputed based on actual combined costs of the companies.

 

Backlog is the aggregate contract amount less revenue recognized using percentage-of-completion accounting as described in Note 2 of these consolidated financial statements. The Company recognizes as backlog only those contracts on which it has received signed contracts or executed letters of intent to award a contract from its customers. The Company also verifies funding is in place on the contracts prior to inclusion in backlog.

Included with the equipment is a note related to the phone system with a fixed rate of interest at 9.0% which matures in April 2008.  The weighted average interest rate for these borrowings was 8.0% and 8.2% at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

 

Unsecured Debt — Related Party

 

On January 2, 2008 an additional $5.0 million in unsecured debt was funded by the same related party for which $6.0 million was outstanding. All notes are unsecured and subordinated to the line of credit facility. The unsecured note agreements contain prepayment options with prepayment penalties. Interest accrues at 11.58% per annum and is payable quarterly in arrears, deferred interest at the rate of 8.42% per annum, and default interest at 2% per annum. The total debt of $11.0 million is due and payable in one single payment on January 31, 2010. There are both financial and restrictive covenants associated with the note agreements.  As of March 31, 2008, the Company was in compliance with all covenants except two technical, non financial, covenants.  The Company obtained a waiver from the lender to remedy these defaults.

 

Unsecured Convertible Debt — Stockholders

 

As part of the ISI merger consideration, the Company issued unsecured convertible debt to the stockholders in the amount of $1.9 million which bears interest at 5% per annum, paid semiannually. The notes mature five years from the date of issuance on July 31, 2012. The notes may be converted in whole or in part into shares of the Company’s common stock at the election of the note holder at a share price of $10.00 any time after January 1, 2008. The debt may be redeemed by the Company at $10.00 per share any time after January 1, 2009.

Note 8 — Long-Term Debt — (continued)

 

Seller Notes

 

In connection with the Fire Quest acquisition, the Company issued a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $250,000 (Fire Quest Promissory Note). The Fire Quest Promissory Notes bear interest at the rate of 7.25% per year and will become due and payable on January 1, 2009.

 

In connection with the PDI acquisition, the Company issued convertible promissory notes (the PDI Promissory Notes) in the aggregate principal amount of $3.0 million. The aggregate principal amount of the PDI Promissory Notes may be reduced depending on the occurrence of certain events described in the Asset Purchase Agreement. The payment of the PDI Promissory Notes are guaranteed by and secured by the assets of AUSA and Argyle and bear interest at 6% paid quarterly through December 2009.  After December 2009, principal and interest payments of $133,000 are due monthly with final payment occurring on December 31, 2012.  On June 1, 2009 through November 15, 2009, the Company has the option to (i) convert $500,000 of the outstanding principal into common stock of the Company based on 95% of the closing price of the Company’s common stock for a 20 day trading period preceding notice of the Company’s intent to convert; or (ii) extend the $500,000 principal due in 2010 to January 3, 2011 for an additional payment of $15,000 plus accrued interest.  The aforementioned options to convert or extend the PDI Promissory Notes have resulted in the creation of compound embedded derivatives for which the Company has performed valuations as of March 31, 2008.  The Company will mark to market the derivatives, for which any changes in fair value will be recognized in the statement of operations, in all the subsequent quarters until they are exercised or have expired.  The valuations of these derivatives held a nominal value as of March 31, 2008.

 

In connection with the Com-Tec acquisition, the Company issued a secured subordinated promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $3.5 million (the Com-Tec Promissory Note). The Com-Tec Promissory Note is guaranteed by and secured by the assets of AUSA and Argyle, bears interest at 7% per year and will become due and payable on April 1, 2011.

 

Line of Credit Facility

 

At March 31, 2008, the Company had a line of credit facility totaling $12.0 million and an acquisition loan facility in the amount of $4.3 million. The line of credit is secured by all tangible and intangible assets of AUSA excluding vehicles. The line calls for all accounts receivable collections to be deposited directly to a lockbox. The outstanding balance on the credit facility and the acquisition loan facility at March 31, 2008 was $8.7 million, due January 23, 2010, and $4.3 million, due June 30, 2011, respectively.  Interest is payable quarterly at prime plus 0.75% for the credit facility and at prime plus 1.25% for the acquisition loan through December 31, 2008.  After December 31, 2008, the interest rate is based on a ratio of total debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ranging from prime to prime plus 0.75% for the credit facility and ranging from prime plus 0.5% to prime plus 1.25% for the acquisition note.  The agreement contains both financial and restrictive covenants, including a restriction on the payment of dividends. At March 31, 2008, the Company was in compliance with all covenants except four technical, non financial, covenants.  The Company obtained a 90 day extension to remedy two defaults which it believes is probable to cure during the grace period. The Company obtained a waiver from the lender to remedy the remaining two defaults.

 

The Company has agreed to pay an annual commitment fee of 0.5% per year on the unused borrowing capacity, which was $3.3 million and $1.0 million at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

Note 9 — Capital Leases

 

ISI sold its owner-occupied real estate to a partnership owned by ISI’s stockholders during 2004 and entered into a leaseback of the properties with the partnership. ISI entered into a second lease on another property owned by the same partnership in 2006. Both leases were triple net leases. A triple net lease is a lease agreement on a property where the tenant or lessee agrees to pay all real estate taxes, building insurance, and maintenance (the three ‘Nets’) on the property in addition to any normal fees that are expected under the agreement (rent, etc.). In such a lease, the tenant or lessee is responsible for all costs associated with repairs or replacement of the structural building elements of the property.

 

The terms of the aforementioned leases were modified on July 31, 2007 to extend the expiration date from 2018 to 2019. The modification did not materially affect the carrying value of the assets or related liabilities recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Stop-loss coverage is provided for claims above $75,000 per employee up to a maximum $0.9 million for AUSA and above $30,000 per employee up to a maximum of $2.0 million for Com-Tec. Operations are charged with the cost of claims reported and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported based on prior experience. The determination of such claims and expenses and the appropriateness of the related liability are continually reviewed and updated. Total claims payable and claims incurred but not reported were $0.5 million at March 31, 2008 and $0.3 million at December 31, 2007. AUSA and Com-Tec have not yet met its stop-loss limit for 2008.

 

Note 12 — Offerings

 

Public Offering

 

In January 2006, Argyle sold 3,700,046 units (which included 75,046 units sold by the underwriters pursuant to a partial exercise of their over-allotment option) to the public at a price of $8.00 per unit. Each unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value, and one redeemable common stock purchase warrant (warrant). Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at an exercise price of $5.50 and expiring January 24, 2011. The warrants are redeemable by the Company at a price of $.01 per warrant upon 30 days’ notice, only in the event that the last sale price of the common stock is at least $11.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading-day period ending three business days before a notice of redemption is delivered.

Private Placement

 

In January 2006, Argyle sold to its officers an aggregate of 125,000 units identical to the units sold in the Public Offering at a price of $8.00 per unit.

 

Note 13 — Common Stock Reserved for Issuance

 

As of March 31, 2008, 4,087,546 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon exercise of redeemable warrants and options and 375,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to the underwriters’ unit purchase option described in Note 17. This includes the warrants that were issued in connection with the April 2007 notes to stockholders entitling the holder to exercise the warrants for a total of 37,500 shares of stock. In 2007, the Company granted certain employees incentive stock options (ISOs) and non-qualified stock options entitling the holder to exercise options for a total of 125,000 shares of stock and 130,000 shares of restricted stock (see Note 17).  Additionally, in 2008 the Company granted certain employees incentive stock options (ISOs) and non-qualified stock options entitling the holder to exercise options for a total of 100,000 shares of stock and 85,000 shares of restricted stock (see Note 17).

 

Note 14 — Redemptive Status of Common Stock

 

The registration statement for Argyle’s initial public offering indicated that, after signing a definitive agreement for the acquisition of a target business, Argyle would submit such transaction for stockholder approval. Based on the votes submitted, 211,965 shares voted against the proposed ISI business combination and sought to be redeemed for cash. As a result, $1.7 million of net proceeds from the initial public offering which included interest was redeemed to stockholders in August 2007. The 211,965 shares of common stock were cancelled as of August 2007.

 

Note 15 — Preferred Stock

 

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such designations, voting, and other rights and preferences, as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. No shares of preferred stock are currently issued or outstanding.

 

In connection with the merger, and immediately prior to the merger, one of ISI’s unsecured debt holders converted $10.0 million of long-term debt with ISI into shares of ISI preferred stock. Upon closing of the purchase of ISI, the same debt holder received $10.0 million for the preferred stock of ISI.

 

 In April 2008, as noted in the Note 22 – Subsequent Events, the Company issued 18,750 shares of $0.001 par value Series A Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to a $15.0 million private placement.

 

Note 16 — Agreement with Underwriters

 

In March 2007, the underwriters from Argyle’s Public Offering agreed to forfeit any and all rights or claims to a pro-rata portion of the deferred underwriting costs and associated accrued interest with respect to any shares of common stock that are redeemed in connection with the proposed acquisition. This fee was charged against additional paid-in capital and was payable upon a successful business combination. Based on the redemption of 211,965 shares, $80,000 related to these waived underwriter fees were paid to redemptive stockholders. Upon closing of the purchase of ISI, Argyle paid approximately $1.4 million for services performed related to Argyle’s Public Offering.

Note 17 — Stockholders’ Equity and Stock-Based Compensation

 

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share Based Payment. SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. Following is a description of the various grants made and the impact to the financial statements.

 

2005 — 2006 Options

 

In July 2005, Argyle granted to its officers, directors, and their respective affiliates certain options, which were exercisable only in the event the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option, to purchase that number of shares enabling them to maintain their 20% ownership interest in the Company (without taking into account the units they purchased in the private placement). The measurement date was deemed to be January 30, 2006, the date the over-allotment was exercised because the number of options to be issued was not known until that date.

 

In January 2006, the underwriters exercised a portion of the over-allotment option in the amount of 75,046 units. In February 2006, the officers and directors exercised their options and purchased 18,761 units for an aggregate cost of $507 (or $0.027 per share). The compensation cost, recorded in operating expenses, resulting from these share-based payments was $130,632 at January 30, 2006, using the Black-Scholes pricing model. This model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. The fair value of the options was estimated at the measurement date using the assumptions of weighted-average volatility factor of 0.10; no expected dividend payments; weighted-average risk-free interest rate of 5%; and a weighted-average expected life of 0.13 years.

 

The fair value of each option was $6.99 per share. All options vested immediately at the measurement date and no further options may be exercised. Compensation expense was recognized immediately and recorded as an operating expense for the year ended December 31, 2006.

 

Underwriter Options

 

Argyle sold to its underwriters options to purchase up to an aggregate of 187,500 units for $100. The units issuable upon exercise of these options are identical to those sold in the Public Offering. These options are exercisable at $8.80 per unit and expiring January 24, 2011. The options to purchase the 187,500 units and the Securities underlying such units were deemed compensation by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) and were therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to Rule 2710(g) (1) of the NASD Conduct Rules.

 

Argyle accounted for these purchase options as a cost of raising capital and included the instrument as equity in its consolidated balance sheet. Accordingly, there is no net impact on Argyle’s financial position or results of operations, except for the recording of the $100 proceeds from the sale. Argyle has estimated, based upon a Black-Scholes model, that the fair value of the purchase options on the date of sale was approximately $3.40 per unit, (a total value of approximately $0.6 million) using an expected life of five years, volatility of 44%, and a risk-free rate of 5%. However, because Argyle’s units did not have a trading history, the volatility assumption was based on information currently available to management. The volatility estimate was derived using historical data of public companies in the proposed industry. Argyle believes the volatility estimate calculated from these companies was a reasonable benchmark to use in estimating the expected volatility of our units; however, the use of an index to estimate volatility may not necessarily be representative of the volatility of the underlying securities.

The Company has estimated, based upon a Black-Scholes model, that the fair value of the stock options granted on January 25, 2008 was approximately $1.78 per unit, (a total value of approximately $178,000), using an expected life of three years, volatility of 40%, and a risk-free rate of 2.5%. However, because the shares did not have a trading history, the volatility assumption was based on information currently available to management. The volatility estimate was derived using historical data of public companies in the related industry. The Company believes the volatility estimate calculated from these companies was a reasonable benchmark to use in estimating the expected volatility of our units; however, the use of an index to estimate volatility may not necessarily be representative of the volatility of the underlying securities.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company recognized $53,000 in compensation expense, net of tax benefit of $19,000, related to the Company’s stock options.  As of March 31, 2008, there was $341,000 of unrecognized compensation costs, net of estimated forfeitures, related to the Company’s non-vested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.75 years.

Note 18 — Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes decreased $444,000 in the first quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007.  The decrease in income taxes was primarily due to the decrease in income before income taxes of $1,230,000.  Our effective tax rate was 36.2% in the first quarter of 2008 and 34.2% for the same period in 2007.  The increase in our effective tax rate was due to the recognition of additional state income taxes associated with AUSA in 2008.

 

Note 19 — Related-Party Transactions

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2008 the Company entered into a Board approved agreement with Sec-Tec Global to share certain expenses related to common office space in New York City, New York and administrative type expenses.  These expenses are being borne by the Company to reflect realistic expenses associated with the Company’s presence to conduct its business.  The Company has agreed to share expenses totaling $175,000 on an annual basis that are to be paid in quarterly payments of $43,750.   Sec Tec Global is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Electronics Line 3000 to which the Company’s co-CEOs are stock holders and board members.

 

At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, other receivables include $47,000 and $42,000, respectively, of receivables from related parties, all of which is attributable to AUSA. Amounts represent monies or other assets advanced to employees. Amounts have been paid on these receivables and management believes they are fully collectible.

 

The Company leases various properties from Green Wing Management, Ltd., an entity owned and controlled by the Chief Executive Officer and President of AUSA under capital leases.  The leases on these properties were amended as part of the acquisition of ISI to reflect a term of 12 years ending in 2019 and to require that an appraisal be completed by a qualified appraiser to determine the market rate of the leases. The rental rate to be paid on these properties, after the acquisition of ISI, is limited to no more than 90% of the market rate determined by the third-party appraiser. Additional appraisals by a third-party appraiser are to be conducted every three years during the 12 year terms and the annual lease rate in the leases can increase at the time of these appraisals, but only to a level that does not to exceed 90% of the market rate determined by the third-party appraiser. Argyle has the right to purchase these three properties at any time, at the then current market value; however, the purchase price cannot be less than the value determined in the last appraisal preceding the effective date of the acquisition of ISI. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company made lease payments of $72,000 under these leases.  See Note 9 for the remaining payments due under these leases.

 

In conjunction with the major refinancing of ISI in 2004, the majority stockholders formed a new company in 2004 (ISI*MCS, Ltd.) which was used as the contracting entity on all future bonded contracts. ISI transferred certain existing bonded contracts at their remaining contract values, and no gain or loss was recognized on the transfers to ISI*MCS, Ltd. at the time of its formation. All contracts of ISI*MCS, Ltd. were subcontracted to ISI for the full contract amount, less a 2% fee. AUSA recorded contract revenue based on the ISI*MCS, Ltd.’s contract amount, net of the 2% fee. Contract receivables from ISI*MCS, Ltd. at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 totaled $10.2 million and $10.9 million, respectively, which is disclosed as contract receivables - related party on the face of the consolidated balance sheet since ISI*MCS, Ltd. is not consolidated in the balance sheet. Contract revenues reported by the Company from ISI*MCS, Ltd. were $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008.  ISI*MCS, Ltd. revenues reported by the predecessor (ISI) were $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007.  Argyle has agreed to indemnify the shareholders of ISI*MCS, Ltd. from claims brought by the bonding company against their personal guarantees for those contracts that have not been paid in full as of the closing of the merger. The merger agreement provides that these indemnification obligations will survive for a period of four years after the closing date of the merger and the obligations are not subject to cap, or maximum amount.

Subsequent to July 31, 2007, AUSA will receive 100% of the remaining contract amounts and ISI*MCS, Ltd. will forego its 2% fee. Remaining amounts to be billed on these contracts as of March 31, 2008 totaled $11.5 million. All future contracts, bonded and un-bonded, will be contracted directly by AUSA without involvement by ISI*MCS, Ltd.

 

Unsecured Debt — Related Party

 

As part of the ISI merger transaction, debt totaling $16.0 million was owed to a shareholder of ISI, of which $10.0 million was paid prior to its original terms. The shareholder became a shareholder of Argyle as part of the merger and holds 486,237 shares of Argyle common stock as of July 31, 2007 and as such, became a related party. At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the remaining debt to the shareholder (see Note 8) totaled $11.1 million and $6.0 million, respectively.

 

Note 20 — Segment Information

 

The Company’s segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services and are managed accordingly. Under GAAP segment reporting rules, management analyzes the various operating segments based on segment income before income taxes. During the first quarter of 2008, the Company changed its segment reporting to better align the Company’s recently acquired companies with its existing business units and its global and strategic direction.  This change resulted in ISI Detention and MSC Detention combining into the Corrections reportable segment and MCS Commercial into the Commercial reporting segment.  Segment information for the Predecessor for the three months ended March 31, 2007 has been restated to conform to current year presentation.  The customers and long-lived assets of the reportable segments are in the United States.

We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other Securities and Exchange Commission filings. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited Financial Statements and related Notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

 

Overview

 

Argyle Security, Inc. is a Delaware corporation incorporated on June 22, 2005 in order to serve as a vehicle for the acquisition of an operating business through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination.  Argyle completed its initial public offering in January 2006.  As provided in its certificate of incorporation, Argyle was required, by July 30, 2007, to consummate a business combination or enter a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement relating to a business combination, in which case Argyle would be allowed an additional six months to complete the transactions contemplated by such agreement.

 

On July 31, 2007, pursuant to the terms of a merger agreement, dated December 8, 2006, as amended on June 29, 2007 and July 11, 2007 (the Merger Agreement), Argyle acquired all of the assets and liabilities of ISI-Detention Contracting Group, Inc. (ISI), currently referred to as Argyle Security USA (AUSA).  As a result of the merger, ISI now referred to as AUSA became a wholly owned subsidiary of Argyle. AUSA is a provider of physical security solutions to commercial, governmental and correctional customers.

 

In February 2008, we reorganized our business under the name of Argyle Security USA, or AUSA, through which we provide physical security solutions to commercial, governmental, and correctional customers.  Argyle Security USA has two reporting segments, Argyle Corrections and Argyle Commercial Security.

 

Argyle Corrections consists of all of our businesses in the corrections sector including ISI, Metroplex Control Systems (MCS) as well as Com-Tec Security LLC (Com-Tec) and Peterson Detention, Inc. (PDI).  Com-Tec and PDI were acquired in January 2008.  This segment includes:

 

· ISI (also referred to historically as ISI-Detention) designs, engineers, supplies, installs, and maintains a full array of detention systems and equipment, targeting correctional facilities throughout the United States;

 

· Metroplex Control Systems (also referred to historically as MCS-Detention) designs, engineers, supplies, installs and maintains complex, customized security, access control, video and electronic security control system solutions at correctional and government facilities;

 

· PDI is a full-service, turnkey solutions provider that manufactures high security metal barriers, high security observation window systems, detention furniture and accessories; and

 

· Com-Tec is an industry leader in the custom design and manufacture of electronic security and communications systems.

 

Argyle Commercial Security focuses on the commercial security sector and provides turnkey, electronic security systems to the commercial market. Currently, MCS Commercial Fire & Security is the only member of this group and is referred to historically as MCS-Commercial.

 

31



 

On January 1, 2008, MCFSA, Ltd. (MCFSA), all of the partnership interests of which are directly or indirectly wholly owned by AUSA, acquired substantially all of the business assets and liabilities of Fire Quest Inc. (Fire Quest). Fire Quest is engaged in the business of alarm system sales and service.

 

On January 4, 2008, AUSA acquired substantially all of the business assets and liabilities of PDI.  PDI is a full-service, turnkey solutions provider that manufactures high security metal barriers, high security observation window systems, detention furniture and accessories.

 

On January 31, 2008, ISI Controls, Ltd. (ISI-Controls), a wholly owned subsidiary of AUSA, which in turn is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, closed a transaction, pursuant to which ISI-Controls acquired 100% of the outstanding units of Com-Tec Security, LLC (Com-Tec), resulting in Com-Tec becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of ISI-Controls. Com-Tec is engaged in the business of custom design, manufacture and installation of electronic security and communication systems.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on the accompanying consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As such, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. By their nature, these estimates and judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Our management reviews its estimates on an on-going basis, including those related to revenue recognition based on the percentage-of-completion methodology, sales allowances, recognition of service sales revenues, the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventories and related reserves, long-lived assets, investments and income taxes. We base our estimates and assumptions on historical experience, knowledge of current conditions and our understanding of what we believe to be reasonable that might occur in the future considering available information. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and material effects on our operating results and financial position may result.

 

Percentage-of-Completion Estimates - AUSA uses percentage-of-completion accounting to determine revenue and gross margin earned on projects. Estimating the percentage completion on a project is a major critical estimate that AUSA depends on. This estimate is determined as follows:

 

Construction Contracts:

 

·

 

The contract amount and all contract estimates are input into a job cost accounting system with detail of all significant estimates of purchases by vendor type, subcontractor, and labor.

 

 

 

·

 

As the project is performed and purchases and costs are incurred, these are recorded in the same detail as the original estimate.

 

 

 

·

 

The contract amount and estimated contract costs are updated monthly to record the effect of any contract change order received.

 

 

 

·

 

On a monthly basis, management, along with project managers who are overseeing the contracts, review these estimated costs to complete the project and compare them to the original estimate and the estimate that was used in the prior month to determine the percentage-of-completion. If the cost to complete, determined by management and the project managers for the current month, confirms that the estimate used in the prior month is correct, then no action is taken to change the estimate and/or the percentage complete in that current month. However, if the current cost to complete estimate calculated by the management and the project managers differs, then adjustments are made. If the costs are in excess of the estimate used in the prior month, then a decrease in the percentage complete on the project through the current month in the accounting period is made. If the costs are less than the estimate used in the prior accounting period, then the new estimate increases the percentage complete on the project.

 

 

 

·

 

Revenues from construction contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with SOP 81-1. AUSA recognizes revenues on signed contracts and change orders. AUSA generally recognizes revenues on unsigned change orders where it has written notices to proceed from the customer and where collection is deemed probable. Percentage-of-completion for construction contracts is measured principally by the percentage of costs incurred and accrued to date for each contract to the estimated total costs for each contract at completion. AUSA generally considers contracts to be substantially complete upon departure from the work site and acceptance by the customer. If any jobs are identified during the review process which are estimated to be a loss job (where estimated costs exceed contract price), the entire estimated loss is recorded in full, without regard to the computed percentage of completion.

 

32



 

These estimates of percentage completion of a project determine the amounts of revenues and gross margin that are earned to date on a project. For example, if a contract is $100,000 with a 20% gross margin of $20,000, then a project that is estimated to be 50% complete accrues $50,000 in revenues and $10,000 in gross margin. If the percentage completed is adjusted to 25%, then the revenues on the contact would be $25,000, and the earned gross margin would be $5,000. These estimates would be changed in the current month, and the actual accrual of the revenue and gross margin earned on this project would be reduced in the current month.

 

Another effect of the change in the estimated costs and percentage complete is that it changes the percentage of gross margin earned. For example, in the project mentioned above, if the estimated costs changed to 90% from 80% because of projected cost overruns, this would then reduce the gross margin percentage to 10% from 20%. Management attempts to recognize losses (overruns of cost estimates) as soon as they can be quantified. Management attempts to recognize gains (under-runs of cost estimates) when they can be quantified and are certain.

 

Costs incurred prior to award of contracts are expensed as incurred. The balances billed but not paid by customers pursuant to retainage provisions in construction contracts will be due upon completion of the contracts and acceptance by the customer. Based on the Company’s experience with similar contracts in recent years, the retention balance at each balance sheet date will be collected within the subsequent fiscal year.

 

The current asset “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on incomplete contracts” represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed which management believes will be billed and collected within the subsequent year. The current liability “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on incomplete contracts” represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.

 

Service Sales - Service revenues are recognized when the services have been delivered to and accepted by the customer. These are generally short-term projects which are evidenced by signed service agreements or customer work orders or purchase orders. These sales agreements/customer orders generally provide for billing to customers based on time at quoted hourly or project rates, plus costs of materials and supplies furnished by the Company.

 

IBNR Estimates for Health Insurance - On an annual basis, Argyle estimates its health insurance cost, for its self-insured employee base at the acquired companies AUSA and Com-Tec, based upon expected health insurance claims for the current year. The insurance company which provides both the stop loss and total aggregate insurance coverages also provides the average or expected and maximum claims for each class. The average and maximum claims are based on our demographics and prior claim history. Argyle uses the average claims history for the trailing the twelve months as its basis for accruing health care cost. This accrual is automated and is part of the payroll function for each pay period.

 

Deferred income taxes - Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts for tax purposes. Valuation allowances are provided against the deferred tax asset amounts when the realization is uncertain.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - Argyle provides an allowance for bad debt through an analysis in which the bad debts that had been written off over a previous  period are compared on a percentage basis to the aggregate sales for the same period. The resulting percentage is applied to the sales for year to date and a monthly reserve is accrued accordingly. Additionally, management analyzes specific customer accounts receivable for any potentially uncollectible accounts and will add such accounts to the reserve or write them off if warranted, after considering lien and bond rights, and then considers the adequacy of the remaining unallocated reserve compared to the remaining accounts receivable balance (net of specific doubtful accounts).

Non Cash Compensation Expense - On January 1, 2006, Argyle adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share Based Payment. SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values.

 

Purchase options (ISO / non-qualified) grants:

 

On a quarterly basis, Argyle computes the value of newly issued purchase options (ISO and non-qualified) by utilizing the Black-Scholes valuation model based upon their expected life vesting period, industry comparables for volatility and the risk-free rate on US Government securities with matching maturities. The value of the purchase options are then straight-line expensed over the life of the purchase options.

 

Restricted and performance stock grants:

 

On a quarterly basis, Argyle computes the value of newly issued stock grants based on the share price as of the award date. The values of the common shares are then straight-line expensed over the life of the corresponding vesting period.

 

The Company recognizes compensation expense on the performance share awards based on the fair value of the underlying common stock at the end of each quarter over the remaining vesting period.

 

Pro Forma and Adjusted Pro Forma Financial Information

 

Since we acquired ISI in July 2007 and Fire Quest, PDI and Com-Tec in January 2008, we do not believe a comparison of the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2008 versus March 31, 2007 is beneficial to our stockholders. In order to assist investors in better understanding the changes in our business between the three months ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008, we are presenting in management’s discussion and analysis section below in the pro forma and adjusted pro forma results of operations for the Company and the acquisitions for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007 as if the acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2008 and January 1, 2007, respectively. We derived the pro forma results and adjusted pro forma results of operations from (i) the unaudited consolidated financial statements of ISI from January 1, 2007 to March 31, 2007, (ii) the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Com-Tec for the one month ended January 31, 2008 and the three months ended March 31, 2007, (iii) the unaudited financial statements of PDI for the three months ended March 31, 2007, (iv) the unaudited financial statements of Fire Quest for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and (v) the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. We are presenting the pro forma and the adjusted pro forma information in order to provide a more meaningful comparison of our operating results with prior periods. The

 

Adjusted pro forma net income is an alternative view of performance used by management and we believe that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing this performance measure. We report adjusted pro forma net income in order to present the results of our major operations - the construction, installation, marketing, and sale of various electronic security systems for commercial accounts and detention hardware (including security doors and frames, jail furniture, security glazing, and other security-based systems) and electronic control systems for correctional facilities - prior to considering certain income statement elements, principally amortization of intangible assets. We have defined adjusted pro forma net income as net income before the impact of purchase accounting for acquisitions, acquisition-related costs, discontinued operations and certain significant items including one time expenses associated with stock appreciation rights. The adjusted pro forma net income measure is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for U.S. GAAP net income.

 

The adjusted pro forma net income measure is an important internal measurement for us. We measure the performance of the overall Company on this basis. The following are examples of how the adjusted pro forma net income measure is being utilized:

 

·

 

Senior management receives a monthly analysis of our operating results that is prepared on an adjusted pro forma net income basis;

 

 

 

·

 

Our annual budgets are prepared on an adjusted pro forma net income basis; and

 

 

 

·

 

Annual and long-term compensation, including annual cash bonuses, merit-based salary adjustment, and share-based payments for various levels of management will consider financial measures that include adjusted pro forma net income and the associated earnings per share. The adjusted pro forma net income measure will represent a significant portion of target objectives that are utilized to determine the annual compensation for various levels of management, although the actual weighting of the objective may vary by level of management and job responsibility and may be considered in the determination of certain long-term compensation plans.

 

34



 

Despite the importance of this measure to management in goal setting and performance measurement, we stress that adjusted pro forma net income is a non-GAAP financial measure that has no standardized meaning under US-GAAP and therefore, has limits in its usefulness to investors. Because of its non-standardized definition, adjusted pro forma net income (unlike U.S. GAAP net income) may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other companies. Adjusted pro forma net income is presented solely to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses our performance.

 

We also recognize that, as an internal measure of performance, the adjusted pro forma net income and the associated earnings per share measure has limitations and we do not restrict our performance-management process solely to this metric. A limitation of the adjusted pro forma net income measure is that it provides a view of our operations without including all events during a period such as the effects of an acquisition or amortization of purchased intangibles and does not provide a comparable view of our performance to other companies in the security detention and construction industry.

 

In addition, annual and long-term compensation, including annual cash bonuses, merit-based salary adjustments and share-based payments for various levels of management that will be made in future years will likely include a non-discretionary formula that measures our performance using revenue growth and relative total shareholder return.

 

 EBITDA is used by management as a performance measure for benchmarking against the Company’s peers and competitors. The Company believes EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the security industry. Additionally, we use EBITDA for internal performance measurements. EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP. Argyle and AUSA compute EBITDA using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter. EBITDA includes net income, interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. The presentation of EBITDA is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

 

 The adjusted pro forma results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may have actually occurred had the merger taken place on the dates noted, or the future financial position or operating results of us or AUSA. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and assumptions that we believe are reasonable. The presentation of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and adjusted pro forms results is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Corrections segment revenues increased by 126.7% of total Company revenues from the same period in 2007. Commercial segment revenues fell by 17.5%, but when a single $1.8 million service revenue transaction in 2007 is excluded, the growth for the same period was 2.7%.  The total Company margin decrease from 21.7% to 20.4% was directly attributable to the decreased margins in the Corrections segment (decreased 16.3%) while the Commercial segment margins increased by 12.8% over the same period.

 

Discussion of Financial Results

 

Revenues

 

More than 90% of AUSA’s revenues are generated by fixed-price contracts. The success of a fixed-price contract is based in large part upon the quality of the process utilized when estimating the costs that will be incurred in performing the contract. The larger the project and the longer the term of completion of the contract, the greater the number of variable factors there are to be considered and evaluated in estimating costs. A successful estimating process requires substantial experience and judgment. Management is aware of the significant need for experience and qualified estimating personnel and regularly monitors the estimating process and its results.

 

The most obvious benchmark that management considers in evaluating the estimating process is whether the amount estimated, and submitted as a bid, was reasonably similar to the amount bid by AUSA’s competitors on the same project. Other bidders may bid exceptionally low (even at a loss) in order to secure a contract that the competitor may desperately need in order to maintain at least a modest level of cash flow, or for other reasons. Management must evaluate the bids that were submitted in competition with AUSA’s bid, based on their knowledge of each competitor’s history and character (for example, some typically bid high, some typically bid low), the condition of the market, the complexity of the project, the type of construction and other factors. This review, conducted regularly, provides management with an ongoing general basis for evaluating the estimating process that result in fixed price contracts. Evaluating the results of bidding competitions allows management to evaluate the Company’s estimating capabilities at the beginning or “front-end” of a new contract or project. Other benchmarks are used to evaluate the estimating process while a project is ongoing.

 

38



 

AUSA also generates service revenues. These are generally short-term projects which are evidenced by signed service agreements, customer work orders or purchase orders. These sales agreements/customer orders generally provide for billing to customers based on time at quoted hourly or project rates, plus costs of materials and supplies furnished by AUSA. Service revenues are recognized when the services have been delivered to and accepted by the customer.

 

This is our third quarter of reportable revenues. Prior to our acquisition of AUSA, we had no revenues.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of revenues consists of the direct costs to complete a material fixed-price contract and includes variable costs related to the project, such as material, direct labor, project management costs, travel related expenses to the projects, hotel costs spent while the project is on-going, truck expenses utilized on those projects and cell phones of the personnel while they are on those projects. We also review our inventories for indications of obsolescence or impairment and provide reserves as deemed necessary.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for selling and administrative personnel, including the human resources, executive, finance and legal. These expenses also include fees for professional services and other administrative expenses.

On a pro forma basis, the Company had revenues of $39.3 million (including related party revenue of $6.9 million) and $23.2 million (including related party revenue of $5.8 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, representing an increase of $16.1 million or 69.7%. The significant increase in contract revenues is primarily due to several major factors including, but not limited to, the addition of new products through the development of internal software applications that has allowed the company to capture a larger part of its market. Year over year service revenues have decreased by ($0.1) million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 versus 2007.  There is such a significant decrease because we had an unusually large $1.8 million service revenue contract recognized in the same period 2007.  When excluding the $1.8 million opportunity in the quarter-ended March 31, 2007 service and other sales actually increased by $1.7 million or 45.1% over the same period.  The Company has focused on building its service revenue base by adding salespeople and improving performance to retain more customers and to the increase service revenues.

As used in this analysis, “related party” revenue is that revenue that is generated by work sub-contracted from ISI*MCS (an entity owned by Sam Youngblood, President of AUSA, and by Don Carr, President of AUSA – Corrections).  Messrs. Youngblood and Carr created ISI*MCS in 2004 to provide bonding on contracts that required bonding. The performance of those contracts was subcontracted to ISI as a subcontractor to ISI*MCS.  The sub-contracted work was for third party customers of ISI*MCS that required bonded contracts.  After the acquisition of ISI by Argyle, ISI*MCS no longer provided bonding and subcontract work to ISI now referred to AUSA in 2008.  AUSA is in the process of securing its own bonding capacity and will use that bonding capacity to directly enter into bonded contracts with third party customers.  After the merger, the amount of “Revenues - related party” will continue to decrease as the contracts with ISI*MCS, outstanding at the time of the merger, are completed.

 

The pro forma revenue mix was 86.1% contract revenues and 13.9% service revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 76.0% and 24.0%, respectively, for the corresponding period in 2007.

 

In the last three years the entire corrections and commercial security markets have been growing, which has been a factor in a portion of the Company’s success.  Should these markets continue to grow, the Company with its strong market position should continue to see increasing revenue opportunities.   Since January 2008, the Company has been implementing plans to increase revenues.  Some of the expected increases will be derived from the marketing of packaged products from the portfolios of the companies Argyle acquired in January 2008.

On a pro forma basis, cost of revenues increased by $13.2 million, or 67.9%, to $32.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $19.4 million for the corresponding period in 2007. On an adjusted pro forma basis, cost of revenues increased by $13.2 million, or 72.6%, to $31.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $18.1 million for the corresponding period in 2007. The increase in cost of sales resulted from AUSA working on a greater number of projects in 2008 than in 2007.

 

The amortization of acquired backlog has been allocated to cost of revenues. The impact of this amortization (which was excluded from adjusted pro forma cost of revenues) for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $1.3 million.

The Company has been implementing its plan to reduce costs and improve efficiencies.  Some of these efforts include implementing the best technology in all organizations.  For example, we discovered that some of the technology used by the acquired companies was superior to our own, especially with respect to production costs.  Additionally, we discovered that some of the technology we developed is faster and more efficient than that of the acquired companies. The current effort to “swap technology” is proceeding as planned and production cost savings are expected results of these efforts.

 

Gross Margin

 

This has been our third quarter of reportable gross margin. Prior to our acquisition of AUSA, we had no gross margin.

On a pro forma basis for the three months ended March 31, 2008, there was gross margin of $6.7 million compared to a gross margin of $3.8 million for the corresponding period in 2007. On an adjusted pro forma basis for the three months ended March 31, 2008, there was gross margin of $8.0 million compared to a gross margin of $5.0 million for the corresponding period in 2007. The increase in adjusted gross margin was directly attributable to the Company’s stronger pricing position which provides higher margins and development of software to automate production, which allows for efficiencies in production and thus lowers costs, thus increasing gross margins. A major contributor to the increase in gross margin is the increase in service revenues as a percentage of the overall revenues. Service revenues enjoy a higher gross margin than the contract revenues. The company also increased gross margin by controlling costs through the upgrading of project management processes to support installations and services.

 

The amortization of acquired backlog in the cost of sales section has been allocated to cost of revenues and represents the only difference between pro forma gross margins and adjusted pro forma gross margins for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.

 

As previously discussed in revenues and cost of revenues sections Argyle has been implementing its plans to increase revenues, improve efficiencies, and reduce costs, all with the expectation to improve gross margins in coming periods.  Argyle has also seen margins improve over the last year due to the following:

 

·                  Lower margin work was completed in prior years and quarters;

 

·                  Service revenues with higher margins continue to increase, therefore increasing overall margin percentages; and

 

·                  Production and delivery variable costs have been reduced through software tools development, code compression, and training which has improved margin percentages.

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for selling and administrative personnel, including human resources, executive, finance, and legal. These expenses also include fees for professional services and other administrative expenses as well as amortization of intangible assets.  Operating expenses increased to $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $0.3 million for the corresponding period in 2007. Substantially all of the expense increase is attributed to the acquisition of ISI on July 31, 2007 and Com-Tec, PDI , and Fire Quest in the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

 On a pro forma basis, operating expenses increased $2.4 million, or 51.2% to $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $4.7 million for the corresponding period in 2007. On an adjusted pro forma basis, operating expenses increased $2.4 million, or 56.6% to $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $4.3 million for the corresponding period in 2007. The increase is primarily due to additional expenses needed to support the increased number of projects on which AUSA is working, increased sales and marketing efforts to promote future growth, and corporate services expenses associated with the parent company entity.  Growth in operating expenses for 2008 is planned at approximately the same rate as the growth in revenues to build infrastructure to support growth in the coming years

 

Additionally, $0.6 million in non-cash compensation expense related to restricted stock grants and employee stock options was included in the operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 and $0.2 million for the same period in 2007. The amortization of customer base and software has been allocated to operating expenses and primarily relates to the acquisition of ISI on July 31, 2007 and Com-Tec, PDI , and Fire Quest in the quarter ended March 31, 2008.  The impact of this amortization, which was excluded from pro forma operating expenses, was $0.4 million.

 

Other Income / Expense

 

Prior to July 2007, total other income/expense represented interest earned on the net proceeds of our initial public offering and the private placement held in trust through the date of the acquisition of ISI.  Interest expense represents interest on our line of credit, unsecured subordinated debt, and notes issued in January 2008 in connection with the acquisition of Com-Tec, PDI, and Fire Quest. Total other income/expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was an expense of $0.8 million compared to income of $0.4 million for the corresponding period in 2007.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 mainly represents interest on our line of credit, unsecured subordinated debt, and our notes issued in January 2008 for the acquisition of Com-Tec, PDI and Fire Quest.

 

Net Income / (Loss)

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, we had net loss of ($0.7) million compared to a net income of $52,000 for the corresponding period in 2007. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 include the results of operations for AUSA, Fire Quest and PDI from January 1, 2008 and the results of operations of Com-Tec from February 1, 2008. Our primary source of income prior to the consummation of our initial business combination with ISI was interest earned on the funds held in the trust account.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2008, we had $2.5 million in cash and cash equivalents.

 

In January 2006, Argyle completed a private placement of 125,000 units to its executive officers and their affiliates and received net proceeds of approximately $0.9 million. On January 30, 2006, Argyle consummated its initial public offering of 3,700,046 units (which included 75,046 units sold as part of the underwriter’s over-allotment option). Each unit in both the private placement and the public offering consisted of one share of common stock and one redeemable common stock purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase from Argyle one share of Argyle’s common stock at an exercise price of $5.50 per share.

 

Net proceeds from the sale of Argyle’s units, after deducting certain offering expenses of approximately $2.4 million, including underwriting discounts of approximately $1.8 million, were approximately $28.2 million. Approximately $27.3 million of the proceeds from the Public Offering and the Private Placement were placed in a trust account for Argyle’s benefit. Except for $0.6 million in interest that was earned on the funds contained in the trust account and that was released to Argyle to be used as working capital, and the amounts released to Argyle for the payment of taxes, Argyle was not able to access the amounts held in the trust until it consummated a business combination. The amounts held outside of the trust account were used by Argyle to provide for business, legal, and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. Prior to releasing the funds held in trust, the trust account contained $1.4 million reserved for the compensation of Argyle’s underwriters in its Public Offering which was paid to them upon completion of the business combination. All amounts held in trust were released at July 31, 2007 to fund the ISI acquisition.

 

In connection with the Public Offering and the Private Placement, Argyle’s officers and directors placed all the shares owned by them before the Private Placement and the Public Offering into an escrow account. Except in certain circumstances, the shares held in escrow may not be released prior to January 24, 2009.

 

On April 16, 2007, Argyle’s officers and directors, an affiliate of Bob Marbut, Argyle’s Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer, and certain of Argyle’s consultants, pursuant to a note and warrant acquisition agreement, loaned Argyle an aggregate of $0.3 million and in exchange received promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $0.3 million and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 37,500 shares of Argyle’s common stock. The promissory notes were repaid in full plus accrued interest in August 2007.

 

On July 31, 2007, Argyle consummated a business combination, acquiring 100% of the outstanding capital stock of ISI Detention Contracting Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, the value of which the Board of Directors determined was greater than 80% of Argyle’s assets at the time of the merger. Prior to the acquisition of ISI, Argyle had no operations and was considered a developmental stage enterprise. ISI is deemed to be a ‘‘predecessor’’ to the combined company. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet includes the assets and liabilities related to the acquisition of ISI, adjusted to fair value pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations.

 

Argyle used an estimated $20.5 million (excluding Argyle and AUSA transaction costs) of the net proceeds of the initial public offering to acquire ISI. At the closing of the merger, the following consideration was paid by the Company to the stockholders and debt holders of ISI:

 

·                  $18.6 million in cash;

 

·                  1,180,000 shares of common stock of Argyle (valued at approximately $9.2 million); and

 

·                  $1.9 million of unsecured promissory notes convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $10 per share.

Additionally, Argyle incurred total transaction costs of approximately $1.7 million, including legal costs paid to Loeb & Loeb of $0.5 million, $0.6 million related to certain Macquarie Securities (USA) Inc.’s (formerly Giuliani Capital Advisors) advisory fees and fairness opinion, $0.3 million paid in M&A fees to WFG Investments and additional costs of $0.3 million related to accountants, consultants, printer fees and other miscellaneous expenses. Such costs do not include transaction costs of approximately $1.0 million incurred by ISI (related primarily to attorney, brokerage and accounting fees).

 

As part of the ISI merger, public stockholders holding 211,965 of the aggregate number of shares sold in the Public Offering elected to redeem such shares. The per share redemption price was equal to $7.80 per share including interest earned thereon in the trust account, net of taxes paid and payable, $0.6 million of interest income which was released from the trust account in September 2006 to fund our working capital, and amounts owed to the underwriter for the Private Placement (approximately $0.5 million plus interest). Approximately $1.6 million was paid to redemptive shareholders in August of 2007.

 

In April 2008, Argyle completed a private placement of 18,750 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (convertible initially into 1,875,000 shares of common stock) to two accredited investors and received gross proceeds of $15 million. Rodman & Renshaw, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Rodman & Renshaw Capital Group, Inc., served as the exclusive placement agent for the offering and received $900,000 and 112,500 warrants to purchase an aggregate of 112,500 shares of Argyle’s common stock; exercisable at $8.00 per share as a placement fee.

 

 Working Capital

 

Our primary liquidity needs are for financing AUSA’s working capital (including premiums and fees incurred in connection with bid and performance bonds) and their purchase of computers and related equipment. The nature of its business and operations as a detention contractor causes cash flow from operations to be highly volatile. Its large construction contracts can produce or consume cash. The production or consumption of cash is dependent on factors inherent to the construction industry, including billing and payment terms of the contracts. AUSA has in place a credit facility to allow it to manage its working capital requirements.

 

At March 31, 2008, we had current assets of $59.1 million and current liabilities of $31.9 million resulting in a working capital surplus of approximately $27.2 million compared to a surplus of $20.0 million at December 31, 2007.

Unsecured Debt — Related Party

 

These refer to notes payable to a significant stockholder of Argyle. On January 2, 2008 an additional $5.0 million in unsecured debt was funded by the same related party for which $6.0 million is due. All notes are unsecured and subordinated to the line of credit facility. The unsecured note agreements contain prepayment options with prepayment penalties. Interest accrues at 11.58% per annum and is payable quarterly in arrears, deferred interest at the rate of 8.42% per annum, and default interest at 2% per annum. The total debt of $11.0 million is due and payable in one single payment on January 31, 2010. There are both financial and restrictive covenants associated with the note agreements.  As of March 31, 2008, the Company was in compliance with all covenants except two technical, non financial, covenants.  The Company obtained a waiver from the lender to remedy these defaults.

 

Unsecured Convertible Debt — Stockholders

 

As part of the ISI merger consideration, the Company issued unsecured convertible debt to the stockholders in the amount of $1.9 million which bears interest at 5% per annum, paid semiannually. The notes mature five years from the date of issuance on July 31, 2012. The notes may be converted in whole or in part into shares of the Company’s common stock at the election of the note holder at a share price of $10.00 any time after January 1, 2008. The debt may be redeemed by the Company at $10.00 per share any time after January 1, 2009.

 

Unsecured Debt — Stockholders

 

In April 2007, Argyle’s officers and directors, an affiliate of Argyle’s Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer, and certain of Argyle’s consultants, pursuant to a note and warrant acquisition agreement, loaned Argyle an aggregate of $0.3 million and in exchange received promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $0.3 million and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 37,500 shares of Argyle’s common stock. The warrants are exercisable at $5.50 per share of common stock and expire on January 24, 2011.

 

The warrants also may be exercised on a net-share basis by the holders of the warrants. The Company has estimated, based upon a Black-Scholes model, that the fair value of the warrants on the date of issue was approximately $2.48 per warrant (a total value of approximately $93,000  using an expected life of 2 years, volatility of 2.39%, and a risk-free rate of 5%. However, because the Company’s warrants have a limited trading history, the volatility assumption was based on information currently available to management. The promissory notes had an interest at a rate of 4% per year and were repayable 30 days after the consummation of a business combination. The notes and the associated accrued interest were paid in full in August 2007.

 

Seller Notes

 

In connection with the Fire Quest acquisition, the Company issued a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $250,000 (Fire Quest Promissory Note). The Fire Quest Promissory Notes bear interest at the rate of 7.25% per year and will become due and payable on January 1, 2009.

 

In connection with the PDI acquisition, the Company issued convertible promissory notes (the PDI Promissory Notes) in the aggregate principal amount of $3.0 million. The aggregate principal amount of the PDI Promissory Notes may be reduced depending on the occurrence of certain events described in the Asset Purchase Agreement. The payment of the PDI Promissory Notes are guaranteed by and secured by the assets of AUSA and Argyle and bear interest at 6% paid quarterly through December 2009.  After December 2009, principal and interest payments of $133,000 are due monthly with final payment occurring on December 31, 2012.  On June 1, 2009 through November 15, 2009, the Company has the option to (i) convert $500,000 of the outstanding principal into common stock of the Company based on 95% of the closing price of the Company’s common stock for a 20 day trading period; or (ii) extend the payment date to January 3, 2011 for an additional payment of $15,000 plus accrued interest.  The aforementioned options to convert or extend the PDI Promissory Notes have resulted in the creation of compound embedded derivatives for which the Company has performed valuations as of March 31, 2008.  The Company will mark to market the derivatives, for which any changes in fair value will be recognized in the statement of operations, in all the subsequent quarters until they are exercised or have expired.  The valuations of these derivatives held a nominal value as of March 31, 2008.

 

In connection with the Com-Tec acquisition, the Company issued a secured subordinated promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $3.5 million (the Com-Tec Promissory Note). The Com-Tec Promissory Note is guaranteed by and secured by the assets of AUSA and Argyle, bears interest at 7% per year and will become due and payable on April 1, 2011.

Line of Credit Facility

 

At March 31, 2008, the Company had a line of credit facility totaling $12.0 million and an acquisition loan facility in the amount of $4.3 million. The line of credit is secured by all tangible and intangible assets of AUSA excluding vehicles. The line calls for all accounts receivable collections to be deposited directly to a lockbox. The outstanding balance on the credit facility and the acquisition loan facility at March 31, 2008 was $8.7 million, due January 23, 2010, and $4.3 million, due June 30, 2011, respectively.  Interest is payable quarterly at prime plus 0.75% for the credit facility and at prime plus 1.25% for the acquisition loan through December 31, 2008.  After December 31, 2008, the interest rate is based on a ratio of total debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ranging from prime to prime plus 0.75% for the credit facility and ranging from prime plus 0.5% to prime plus 1.25% for the acquisition note.  The agreement contains both financial and restrictive covenants, including a restriction on the payment of dividends.  The Company obtained a 90 day extension to remedy two defaults which it believes is probable to cure during the grace period. The Company obtained a waiver from the lender to remedy the remaining two defaults.  In the event that the Company does not receive a permanent waiver or cure by other means during the 90 day extension period, Argyle may cure such default by agreeing to guarantee the obligations of AUSA to its senior lender.

 

The Company has agreed to pay an annual commitment fee of 0.5% per year on the unused borrowing capacity, which was $3.3 million and $1.0 million at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

 

Capital Leases

 

ISI sold its owner-occupied real estate to a partnership owned by ISI’s stockholders during 2004 and entered into a leaseback of the properties with the partnership. ISI entered into a second lease on another property owned by the same partnership in 2006. Both leases were triple net leases. A triple net lease is a lease agreement on a property where the tenant or lessee agrees to pay all real estate taxes, building insurance, and maintenance (the three ‘Nets’) on the property in addition to any normal fees that are expected under the agreement (rent, etc.). In such a lease, the tenant or lessee is responsible for all costs associated with repairs or replacement of the structural building elements of the property.

 

The terms of the aforementioned leases were modified on July 31, 2007 to extend the expiration date from 2018 to 2019 and increase the monthly rental from $23,667 to $24,000. The modification did not materially affect the carrying value of the assets or related liabilities recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.  The Company reassessed these leases for proper classification under SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, and determined they remain properly classified as capital leases.

 

Commitments

 

AUSA leases office space and equipment under operating leases expiring through 2012.   The corporate office lease space of Argyle expired as of July 31, 2007 and Argyle operated under a month-to-month lease arrangement until it was renewed in January 2008.  The new lease expands the space from approximately 2,500 square feet to 6,500 square feet for a total expense in 2008 of $121,000.  Rental expense was $196,000 and $17,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $71,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 (Predecessor).

 

As part of the PDI acquisition that occurred at January 4, 2008 the Company assumed the existing leases.  The PDI lease is a 4 year lease, for the 42,000 square foot facilities, with monthly payments at $16,000.   As part of the Com-Tec acquisition that occurred at January 31, 2008 the Company signed new leases for the existing facility.  The Com-Tec lease is a 5 year lease, for the 33,000 square foot facility, with month payments at $14,000 beginning in year 3 with the total rent expense being straight line amortized over the life of the lease.

 

In August 2007 we entered into a letter of credit facility with a financial institution. The letter of credit may not exceed $500,000. The facility requires a 1% annual commitment fee on the unused portion of the letter of credit facility. The commitment fee is to be paid quarterly.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLSOURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Market risk is the sensitivity of income to changes in interest rates, foreign exchanges, commodity prices, equity prices, and other market-driven rates or prices.

 

At March 31, 2008, the Company had a line of credit facility totaling $12.0 million and an acquisition loan facility in the amount of $4.3 million. The line of credit is secured by all tangible and intangible assets of AUSA excluding vehicles. The outstanding balance on the credit facility and the acquisition loan facility at March 31, 2008 was $8.7 million, due January 23, 2010, and $4.3 million, due June 30, 2011, respectively.  Interest is payable quarterly at prime plus 0.75% for the credit facility and at prime plus 1.25% for the acquisition loan through December 31, 2008.  After December 31, 2008, the interest rate is based on a ratio of total debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ranging from prime to prime plus 0.75% for the credit facility and ranging from prime plus 0.5% to prime plus 1.25% for the acquisition note.

 

Changes in market rates may impact the bank’s LIBOR rate or prime rate. For instance, if either the LIBOR or prime rate were to increase or decrease by one percentage point (1.0%), our annual interest expense would change by approximately $163,000 based on the total credit available to Argyle.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

An evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2008 was made under the supervision and with the participation of our management. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

 

Management has excluded ISI, PDI, Com-Tec, and Fire Quest which was integrated into the Commercial segment from its evaluation of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008.  ISI was acquired on July 31, 2007, Fire Quest was acquired on January 1, 2008, PDI was acquired on January 4, 2008, and Com-Tec was acquired on January 31, 2008. Argyle was a shell company when it acquired ISI and each of PDI, Fire Quest and Com-Tec would be considered significant subsidiaries of Argyle.

 

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no significant change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

From time to time, the Company has various lawsuits, claims, and contingent liabilities arising from the conduct of its business; however, in the opinion of management, they are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the combined results of operations, cash flows, or financial position of the Company.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.  In addition to the risk factors contained in our Annual Report on form 10-K, you should also consider the following:

 

We derive a significant portion of our revenues from a small number of customers and the loss of a significant customer could significantly reduce our revenues.

 

Our customer base and revenues are concentrated among a limited number of customers and the loss of any one of these customers could significantly reduce our revenues.  During the three months ended March 31, 2008, revenue from our top three customers, which were all from the Corrections segment, represented 42% of total Company revenues.  During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company had revenues from our top two customers, which were all from the Corrections segment, which represented 20% and 12% of total Company revenues.

 

If outstanding public warrants are exercised, the underlying common shares will be eligible for future resale in the public market. ‘‘Market overhang’’ from the warrants results in dilution and could keep the market price of our stock lower than it would otherwise be.

 

Outstanding public warrants and unit purchase options to purchase an aggregate of 4,075,046 shares of common stock issued in connection with Argyle’s initial public offering and those for services rendered in connection with a financing transaction are currently exercisable. If they are exercised, a substantial number of additional shares of our common stock will be eligible for resale in the public market, which could keep the market price of our stock lower than it would otherwise be.

 

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

In April 2008, Argyle completed a private placement of 18,750 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (convertible initially into 1,875,000 shares of common stock) to two accredited investors and received gross proceeds of $15 million. Argyle issued warrants to purchase 112,500 shares of its common stock, exercisable at $8.00 per share, to Rodman & Renshaw, LLC, which served as the exclusive placement agent for the offering, as a portion of its placement fee.  Argyle did not pay any fees in connection with the issuance of the warrants.  The securities were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act since Rodman is an accredited investor.
