ABRAMS INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Abrams Industries, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the Company) was organized under Delaware law in 1960. In 1984, the Company changed its state of incorporation from Delaware to Georgia. The Company (i) provides energy engineering services and develops, implements and supports maintenance and service request solutions for facilities; (ii) implements energy saving lighting programs and provides other energy services, including facility-related improvements that reduce energy and operating costs; and (iii) engages in real estate investment and development. The Company also historically provided commercial construction services as a general contractor.
NOTE 2. UNAUDITED STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the accompanying disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2004. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.
NOTE 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
As of January 31, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure. Under SFAS No. 148, the Company is required to disclose the effects on reported net (loss) earnings with respect to stock-based compensation.
For purposes of the required pro forma disclosures, the Company has computed the value of all stock option awards granted for the first quarter ended July 31, 2004, and July 31, 2003, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Options to purchase 725,992 shares were outstanding at July 31, 2004, of which 521,528 options were vested. The Company granted 54,900 stock options and 5,200 shares of stock in the first quarter ended July 31, 2004. No options or shares of stock were granted in the first quarter ended July 31, 2003. The number of options forfeited in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004 was 26,500 and 123,000, respectively. If the Company had accounted for its stock-based compensation awards in accordance with SFAS No. 123, pro forma results would have been as follows:

NOTE 4. RECEIVABLES
All net contract and trade receivables are expected to be collected within one year.
NOTE 5. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
The Company is in the business of creating long-term value by periodically realizing gains through the sale of existing real estate assets, and then redeploying its capital by reinvesting the proceeds from such sales. Effective May 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which requires, among other things, that the operating results of certain income-producing assets, sold subsequent to April 30, 2002, be included in discontinued operations in the statements of operations for all periods presented. The Company classifies an asset as held for sale when the asset is under a binding sales contract with minimal contingencies, and the buyer is materially at risk if the buyer fails to complete the transaction. However, each potential transaction is evaluated based on its separate facts and circumstances. Pursuant to this standard, as of July 31, 2004, the Company had no assets that were classified as held for disposition or sale.
During fiscal 2004, the Company made the decision to curtail its operations as a general contractor, and pursuant to this decision, all operating activities have substantially ceased and when all warranty periods have expired, the Construction Segment will be classified as a discontinued operation, and the historical operating results of the Segment will be reclassified to discontinued operations pursuant to SFAS No. 144.
On March 12, 2004, the Company sold its shopping center located in North Fort Myers, Florida, and recognized a pretax gain of approximately $4.0 million. As a result this transaction, the Companys financial statements have been prepared with the results of operations and cash flows related to the North Fort Myers shopping center shown as discontinued operations. Summarized financial information for discontinued operations for the first quarter ended July 31 is as follows:

NOTE 7. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share are computed giving effect to dilutive stock equivalents resulting from outstanding stock options. The dilutive effect on the number of common shares for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 and 2004 was 407 and 0, respectively. Since the Company had losses from continuing operations for both periods presented, all stock equivalents were antidilutive during these periods, and therefore are excluded when determining the diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

NOTE 9. MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE
On July 8, 2004, the Company restructured the loan on the Companys owned shopping center in Jacksonville, Florida. The Company paid the lender $1.5 million as payment in full of the Additional Interest Agreement, which was then terminated, and the principal loan balance was reduced by $474,042. The restructured principal loan balance is for $7.8 million, bears interest at 6.125%, and is amortized until it matures on July 1, 2029, but may be

called after July 1, 2011, with thirteen months notice.
The following table updates Footnote 7 Mortgage Notes Payable and Leases in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K as of April 30, 2004, to reflect the restructuring of the loan mentioned above that occurred in the first quarter ended July 31, 2004. The expected future minimum principal and interest payments on mortgage notes payable on the owned rental properties are as follows:

The mortgage notes payable are due at various dates between January 1, 2008, and July 1, 2029, and bear interest at rates ranging from 6.125% to 9.25%.
Management has determined that the changes to the loan mentioned above were a material modification of the old loan, and as a result, the Company recognized an expense relating to the extinguishment of debt in the amount of $218,071, as shown on the accompanying statement of operations. In conjunction with the new restructured loan, the Company recorded $50,000 in deferred loan costs to be amortized over the life of the loan.
NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is subject to various other legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the final outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 11. ACQUISITIONS
On May 26, 2004, Servidyne Systems, LLC (Servidyne), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired the operating business and assets of Building Performance Engineers, Inc. (BPE) for a purchase price of $369,906, in order to expand the Companys capabilities in energy engineering and design. The consideration consisted of 21,126 newly-issued shares of the Companys common stock, with a fair value of $94,906 at the date of grant, a note payable in the amount of $150,000, and cash of $125,000 (including direct acquisition expenses). The amount and type of consideration was determined by negotiation among the parties. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired on the date of acquisition:

On April 16, 2004, Servidyne acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of iTendant, Inc. (iTendant) for a purchase price of approximately $1.3 million. The consideration consisted of 123,547 newly-issued shares of the Companys common stock, with a fair value of $525,075 at the date of grant, the payment of $500,000 cash, and the assumption of approximately $170,000 of iTendants liabilities. Additional contingent consideration is provided for based on future operating goals and performance. Consideration was determined by negotiation among the parties.
The following table summarizes the results of the Company on a pro forma basis for the three months ended July 31, 2003, as if the acquisitions of BPE and iTendant, Inc., as well as the acquisitions of The Wheatstone Energy Group, Inc., in December 2003, and a professional medical office building located in Douglasville, Georgia, in April 2004, had occurred at the beginning of the period.

NOTES TO CHART A
(1) | Revenues increased for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 from that in fiscal 2004 primarily due to: (1) an increase of approximately $132,000 in revenues from iTendant, Inc. and Building Performance Engineers, Inc., acquired in April 2004 and May 2004, respectively; and (2) an increase of approximately $99,000 in revenues due to growth from a broadening customer base. | |||
(2) | The Energy Services Segment was formed in December 2003. | |||
(3) | Represents rental revenues. The increase in rental revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 is primarily due to: (a) approximately $154,000 in rental revenues related to a professional medical office building located in Douglasville, Georgia, that was acquired by the Company in April 2004; offset by: (b) a decrease in rental revenues of approximately $46,000, which are contingent on tenant sales exceeding specified amounts; (c) a decrease in common area maintenance cost recoveries of approximately $28,000; and (d) a decrease in leaseback income of approximately $64,000 related to a Kmart leaseback that was assigned to the fee owner by the Company in October 2003. Rental revenues for all periods presented do not include rental revenues generated by income-producing properties which were subsequently sold. Such revenues have been reclassified to discontinued operations. | |||
(4) | As previously discussed in the Companys 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2004, the Company has elected to discontinue its role as a multi-purpose general contractor. Although the operations of the Construction Segment have been substantially discontinued, the results, will nevertheless, continue to be included in continuing operations pursuant to SFAS No. 144 until all operating activities cease and all warranty periods expire. |

(a) | The increase in backlog for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to the same period in fiscal 2004 is primarily the result of the acquisitions of iTendant, Inc. and Building Performance Engineers, Inc. in April 2004 and May 2004, respectively. Contracts that can be cancelled with less than one years notice are not included in backlog. As of July 31, 2004, and July 31, 2003, such contracts not included in backlog totaled $1.36 million and $1.2 million, respectively, in potential revenue over the ensuing twelve months, assuming cancellations provisions are not invoked. |
(b) | The Energy Services Segment was formed in December 2003. |
(c) | Included in Real Estate backlog at July 31, 2004, is approximately $458,000 related to a professional medical office building located in Douglasville, Georgia, acquired by the Company in April 2004. This increase from prior year is offset by approximately $255,000 related to a Kmart leaseback that was assigned to the fee owner by the Company in October 2003. |
(d) | The absence in backlog in fiscal 2005 compared to 2004 results from the Companys election to discontinue its operations as a multi-purpose general contractor. Although the operations of the Construction Segment have been substantially discontinued, the results, will nevertheless, continue to be included in continuing operations pursuant to SFAS No. 144 until all operating activities cease and warranty periods expire. |
(e) | The intersegment eliminations reported include only intercompany rent of approximately $521,000 and $492,000, as of July 31, 2004, and July 31, 2003, respectively. |
COSTS AND EXPENSES APPLICABLE TO REVENUES
From Continuing Operations
As a percentage of total segment revenues from continuing operations (See Chart A), the total applicable costs and expenses (See Chart B) were 70% and 89% for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. In reviewing Chart B, the reader should recognize that the volume of revenues generally will affect the amounts and percentages.
The figures in Chart B are net of intersegment eliminations.

(1) | The change in the dollar amount and percentage of costs and expenses applicable to revenues from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2005, compared to the same period in 2004, is primarily a result of the change in the mix of services and products. | |||
(2) | The Energy Services Segment was formed in December 2003. | |||
(3) | The increase in the dollar amount and percentage of costs and expenses applicable to revenues is primarily due to: (a) rental operating costs and expenses of approximately $147,000 related to a professional medical office building located in Douglasville, Georgia, acquired in April 2004; (b) an increase in leasing expenses of approximately $23,000; and (c) an increase in common area maintenance expenses of approximately $32,000. Costs and expenses for all periods presented do not include the costs and expenses of income producing properties that were subsequently sold, and do not include the costs of sale of these properties. Those costs and expenses have been reclassified to discontinued operations. | |||
(4) | As previously mentioned elsewhere, the Company has elected to discontinue its role as a multi-purpose general contractor.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
From Continuing Operations
For the first quarters of fiscal 2005 and 2004, selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) from continuing operations, net of intersegment eliminations, were $2,486,129 and $2,463,682, respectively. As a percentage of consolidated revenues from continuing operations, these expenses were 49% and 18%, respectively. In reviewing Chart C, the reader should recognize that the volume of revenues generally will affect the amounts and percentages. The percentages in Chart C are based upon expenses as they relate to segment revenues from continuing operations (Chart A), except that parent and total expenses relate to consolidated revenues from continuing operations.

NOTES TO CHART C
(1) | Although SG&A expenses were lower on a percentage basis due to the increase in revenues, on a dollar amount basis, SG&A expenses were higher for the first quarter of 2005 compared to the same period of fiscal 2004 due to an increase in personnel and personnel costs resulting primarily from the acquisitions of iTendant, Inc. and Building Performance Engineers, Inc. in April 2004 and May 2004, respectively. | |||
(2) | The Energy Services Segment was formed in December 2003. | |||
(3) | On a dollar and percentage basis, SG&A expenses from continuing operations were higher for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to 2004, primarily due to: (a) an increase in personnel costs of approximately $96,000; and (b) an increase in legal and professional fees of approximately $47,000. SG&A expenses for all periods presented do not include SG&A expenses of income-producing properties that were subsequently sold. These expenses have been reclassified as discontinued operations. | |||
(4) | As previously mentioned elsewhere, the Company has elected to discontinue its role as a multi-purpose general contractor. Although the operations of the Construction Segment have been substantially discontinued, the results, will nevertheless, continue to be included in continuing operations pursuant to SFAS No. 144 until all operating activities cease and all warranty periods expire. | |||
(5) | On a dollar and percentage basis, SG&A expenses were higher for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to the same period in 2004, primarily due to: (a) an increase in personnel costs of approximately $161,000; offset by (b) a decrease in legal and professional fees of approximately $76,000. |
Liquidity and capital resources
Between April 30, 2004, and July 31, 2004, working capital decreased by $3,799,562, primarily due to: (1) cash utilized in the restructuring of the loan related to the Companys owned shopping center located in Jacksonville, Florida, of approximately $2.0 million; (2) payment of the regular and special dividends of approximately $641,000; (3) the addition of approximately $340,000 in leasehold improvements at the corporate headquarters building; and (4) the acquisition of the operating business
15
and assets of Building Performance Engineers, Inc. Operating activities used cash of $50,408, primarily due to losses incurred during the first three months of fiscal 2005, and a decrease in accounts receivable, offset by a decrease in trade and subcontractor accounts payable. Investing activities used cash of $786,988, primarily due: (1) additions to property and equipment, related to leasehold improvements on the corporate headquarters building; (2) additions to income-producing properties and intangible assets; and (3) the acquisition of the operating business and assets of Building Performance Engineers, Inc. Financing activities used cash of $2,952,244, primarily due to: (1) the payment of $2.0 million related to the restructuring of the loan on the Companys owned shopping center located in Jacksonville, Florida; (2) scheduled principal payments of mortgage notes; and (3) the payment of a regular and special dividend. Discontinued operations provided cash of $28,534.
Except for certain real estate construction loans and occasional short-term operating loans, the Company generally has been able to finance its working capital needs through funds generated internally. If adequate funds are not generated through normal operations or from the sale of real estate, the Company has available bank lines of credit. These lines of credit bear interest at the prime rate or LIBOR plus 2%, and have a commitment fee of 0.375% on any unused portion. The bank lines of credit expire on October 30, 2004. The Company expects to renew the bank lines of credit in appropriate amounts; however, there can be no assurance that such renewal will take place.
The Company anticipates that its equity, lines of credit, potential proceeds from sales of real estate, potential cash flow provided by financing or refinancing of debt, and cash flow generated from operations will, for the foreseeable future, provide adequate liquidity and financial flexibility to meet the Companys needs to fund working capital, capital expenditures, and investment activities.

Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements
Certain statements contained or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including without limitation, statements containing the words believes, anticipates, estimates, expects, plans, and words of similar import, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other matters which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of the Company to
16
be materially different from any future results, performance, or uncertainties expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Factors relating to general global, national, regional, and local economic conditions, including international political stability, national defense, homeland security, employment levels, wage and salary levels, consumer confidence, availability of credit, taxation policies, interest rates, capital spending, deflation, and inflation could negatively impact the Company and its customers, suppliers, and sources of capital. Any significant negative impact from these factors could result in material adverse effects on the Companys results of operations and financial condition.
The Company is at risk for many other matters beyond its control, including, but not limited to: the possible impact, if any, on the ultimate disposition of legal proceedings in which the Company is involved, including the matters described in Item 3 of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended April 30, 2004; the potential loss of significant customers; co-tenancy provisions in anchor tenant leases; the Companys ability to sell or refinance its real estate; the possibility of not achieving projected backlog revenues or not realizing earnings from such revenues; the cost and availability of insurance; the ability of the Company to attract and retain key personnel; weather conditions; changes in laws and regulations, including changes in accounting standards, generally accepted accounting principles, and regulatory requirements of the SEC and NASDAQ; overall vacancy rates in markets where the Company leases retail and office space; overall capital spending trends in the economy; the timing and amount of earnings recognition related to the possible sale of real estate properties held for sale; delays in or cancellations of customers orders; the level and volatility of interest rates; the level and volatility of energy prices; the failure of a subcontractor to perform; and the deterioration in the financial stability of an anchor tenant, significant subcontractor or other significant customer.
Critical Accounting Policies
A critical accounting policy is one that is both important to the portrayal of a Companys financial position and results of operations, and requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes. In preparing these financial statements, the Company has made its best estimates and used its best judgments regarding certain amounts included in the financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. The application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and the use of assumptions regarding future uncertainties, and as a result, actual results could differ from those estimates. Management believes that the Companys most critical accounting policies include:
Revenue recognition
Energy and facilities solutions revenues primarily consist of services and
product sales. Revenues are recognized as services are rendered, and depending
upon the product type and customer agreement, product sales are recognized when
products are shipped or delivered.
Energy services revenues and construction revenues are reported on the percentage-of-completion method, using costs incurred to-date in relation to estimated total costs of the contracts to measure the stage of completion. Original contract prices are adjusted for cumulative effects of changes in estimated total contract costs and revenues (change orders) in the amounts that are reasonably estimated based on the Companys historical experience. The change orders are recorded in the period in which the facts requiring such revisions become known, and are accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method. At the time it is determined that a contract is expected to result in a loss, the entire estimated loss is recorded.
17
The Company leases space in its income-producing properties to tenants, and recognizes minimum base rentals as revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. Tenants may also be required to pay additional rental amounts based on property operating expenses. In addition, certain tenants are required to pay incremental rental amounts, which are contingent on their store sales. These percentage rents are recognized only as earned.
Revenues from the sale of real estate are recognized when all of the following has occurred: (a) the property is transferred to the buyer; (b) the buyers initial and continuing investment is adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property; and (c) the buyer has assumed all future ownership risks of the property. Costs of sales related to real estate are based on the specific property sold. When a portion or unit of a development property is sold, a proportionate share of the total cost of the development is charged to cost of sales.
Income-producing properties and property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, and are depreciated for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Significant additions that extend asset lives are capitalized. Normal maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.
Interest and other carrying costs related to real estate assets under construction are capitalized. Costs of development and construction of real estate assets are also capitalized. Capitalization of interest and other carrying costs is discontinued when a development project is substantially completed or if active development ceases.
