As of December 31, 2010, the last business day of the registrant’s most recently completed second fiscal quarter, the aggregate market value of the registrant’s Common Stock and Preferred Stock held by non-affiliates, based upon the closing price per share for the registrant’s common stock as reported on the NYSE Amex, was approximately $2.4 million.





The number of shares of the registrant’s Common Stock, outstanding as of September 26, 2011 was 12,270,790. The number of shares of the registrant’s Preferred Stock, outstanding as of September 26, 2010 was 296,180.





For the purpose of calculating the aggregate market value of the Company’s Common Stock held by non-affiliates, the Company utilized the definition of “affiliates” provided by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. In applying that definition, the Company has considered all individual members of the “Control Group” as designated in the Schedule 13D filed by the Company on August 7, 2000 and on any amendments thereto to be affiliates, as well as all then current directors and officers. As used for purposes of determining the aggregate market value of the Voting Common Stock held by non-affiliates, “beneficial ownership” of securities means the sole or shared power to vote, or to direct the voting of, such securities, or the sole or shared investment power with respect to such securities, including the power to dispose of, or to direct the disposition of, such securities. In addition, for purposes of this calculation, a person is deemed to have beneficial ownership of any security that such person had the right to acquire within 60 days after December 31, 2010. The Company then multiplied the beneficial ownership of the non-affiliates by the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock, as of the date stated above, to derive the market value, or ‘float.’

PART I





Item 1. Business




General




Fortune Industries, Inc. is a holding company of providers of full service human resources outsourcing services through co-employment relationships with the company’s clients.  The terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “the Company,” and “management” as used herein refers to Fortune Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires.  Effective November 30, 2008, we approved the sale of all of our remaining operating subsidiaries within four of our five segments (Wireless Infrastructure, Transportation Infrastructure, Ultraviolet Technologies, and Electronics Integration) to a related party.  Consequently, as of the effective date of the transaction, our Business Solutions segment is the Company’s remaining operating segment.  The sales transaction, combined with other significant events disclosed in Note 2 of our financial statements in Item 8, have changed the focus of our Company in fiscal 2009 and thereafter.  This operational change in our Company will impact the comparability of our financial information compared to historical data presented in past filings.





Our operations are largely decentralized from the corporate office.  Autonomy is given to subsidiary entities, and there are few integrated business functions (i.e. sales, marketing, purchasing and human resources).  Day-to-day operating decisions are made by subsidiary management teams.  Our corporate management team assists in operational decisions when deemed necessary, selects subsidiary management teams and handles capital allocation among our operations.





We were incorporated in the state of Delaware in 1988, restructured in 2000 and redomesticated to the state of Indiana in May 2005.  Prior to 2001, we conducted business mainly in the entertainment industry.





Recent Developments





On January 15, 2010, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with its Chief Executive Officer John F. Fisbeck which included (a) immediate resignation of Mr. Fisbeck as CEO of the company, (b) immediate resignation of Mr. Fisbeck from the Company’s board of directors, and (c) waiver of certain severance payments included in is current Employment Agreement.





On January 15, 2010, our Board of Directors appointed Tena Mayberry to the position of Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Ms. Mayberry replaced John F. Fisbeck as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.





On April 13, 2009, our Board of Directors approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year end from August 31st to June 30th commencing with our fiscal year 2009.  This resulted in our fiscal year 2009 being shortened from 12 months to 10 months and ended on June 30, 2009.





Effective November 30, 2008, the Company completed a transaction to sell all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the following wholly-owned subsidiaries: James H Drew Corporation, Nor-Cote International, Inc., Fortune Wireless, Inc. and Commercial Solutions, Inc.  The subsidiaries were sold to related parties entities owned by the Company’s majority shareholders in exchange for a $10.0 million reduction in the outstanding balance of the term loan note due to the majority shareholder and a three-year term note in the amount of $3.24 million.  The transaction also included the conversion of the remaining term loan note balance to Preferred Stock and the issuance of additional warrants.  For further discussion of this transaction, see Note 2 - Disposition of Assets and ProForma Results in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.





Effective November 30, 2008, the Company no longer operated in the Wireless Infrastructure, Transportation Infrastructure, Ultraviolet Technologies and Electronics Integration Segments.





Business Solutions Segment





The Business Solutions segment is comprised of Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) which provide full-service human resources outsourcing services through co-employment relationships with their clients.  Companies operating in the Business Solutions Segment include Professional Staff Management, Inc. and related entities (“PSM”); CSM, Inc. and related subsidiaries (“CSM”); Precision Employee Management, LLC (“PEM”); and Employer Solutions Group, Inc. and related subsidiaries (“ESG”).





The Companies in the Business Solutions segment bill their clients under Professional Services Agreements as licensed PEOs.  The billing includes amounts for the client’s gross wages, payroll taxes, employee benefits, workers’ compensation insurance and an administration fee.  The administration fee charged by the companies in this segment is typically a percentage of the gross payroll and is sufficient to allow the companies in this segment to provide payroll administration services, human resources consulting services, worksite safety training, and employment regulatory compliance for no additional fees.





The component of the administration fee related to administration varies, in part, according to the size of the client, the amount and frequency of payroll payments and the delivery method of such payments.  The component of the administration fee related to health, workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance is based, in part, on the client’s historical claims experience.  Charges by the Companies in this segment are invoiced along with each periodic payroll delivered to the client.




3


Through the co-employment contractual relationship, the Companies in the Business Solutions segment become the statutory employer and, as such, all payroll-related taxes are filed on these Companies’ federal, state, and local tax identification numbers.  The clients are not required to file any payroll related taxes on their own behalf.  The calculations of amounts the Companies in this segment owe and pay the various government and employment insurance vendors are based on the experience levels and activity of the companies in this segment.





The services rendered by this segment accounted for 100% of our consolidated revenue in fiscal 2011 and 2010, and 73% of our consolidated revenues in 2009.





Customers





Customers in this segment represent a wide variety of industries including healthcare, professional services, software development, manufacturing logistics, telemarketing and construction. Combined, these organizations provide co-employment services to over 15,000 employees in 47 states. Management’s focus is on providing PEO services to small and medium-sized businesses with 10 to 1,000 employees.  While worksite employees are located throughout the United States, the segment’s client operations are primarily headquartered in Utah, Colorado, Arizona, Indiana, and Tennessee.





Competition





The Companies in our Business Solutions segment compete with other PEOs, third-party payroll processing and human resources consulting companies, and in-house human resources divisions.  The PEO industry is highly fragmented between local, regional and national PEO operators.





Vendor Relationships





The Companies in the Business Solutions segment provide employee benefits to worksite employees under arrangements with a variety of vendors.  These Companies provide group health insurance coverage to the customers’ worksite employees through Humana, United Healthcare Networks and various other fully-insured policies or service contracts.





The PEO’s also provide collateralized high deductible workers compensation insurance coverage for our customers’ worksite employees through Liberty Mutual (“Liberty”) and Lumberman’s Underwriting Alliance (“LUA”) and various other fully insured policies.  Under the Liberty policy, the PEO’s are liable for the first $250,000 of claims per accident with a $2.0 million annual corporate aggregate.  Under the LUA policy, the PEO’s are liable for the first $350,000 of claims per accident.  The LUA policy has no aggregate coverage.





Industry Regulation





Numerous federal and state laws and regulations relating to employment matters, benefit plans and employment taxes affect the operations of the Company or specifically address issues associated with co-employment.  Many of these federal and state laws were enacted before the development of non-traditional employment relationships, such as professional employer organizations, temporary employment and other employment-related outsourcing arrangements and, therefore, do not specifically address the obligations and responsibilities of a professional employer organization.





Other federal and state laws and regulations are relatively new, and administrative agencies and federal and state courts have not yet interpreted or applied these regulations to the Company’s business or its industry.  The development of additional regulations and interpretation of those regulations can be expected to evolve over time. In addition, from time to time, states have considered, and may in the future consider, imposing certain taxes on gross revenues or service fees of the Company and its competitors.





Many states have passed laws that have licensing, registration or other regulatory requirements for professional employer organizations and several other states are currently considering similar regulations. Such laws vary from state to state, but generally codify the requirements that a professional employer organization must reserve a right to hire, terminate and discipline client employees and secure workers’ compensation insurance coverage.  The Company delegates or assigns such rights to the client where allowed under state law.  The laws also generally provide for monitoring the fiscal responsibility of professional employer organizations and, in many cases, the licensure of the controlling officers of the professional employer organization.





In addition, some states through legislative or other regulatory action may propose to modify the manner in which the Company is allowed to provide services to its clients.  Such regulatory action could increase the administrative cost associated with providing such services.




4


ERISA Requirements





Employee pension and welfare benefit plans are also governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).  ERISA defines an “employer” as “any person acting directly as an employer, or indirectly in the interest of an employer, in relation to an employee benefit plan.”  ERISA defines the term “employee” as “any individual employed by an employer.”  The courts have held that the common law test of employment must be applied to determine whether an individual is an employee or an independent contractor under ERISA. However, in applying that test, control and supervision are less important for ERISA purposes when determining whether an employer has assumed responsibility for an individual’s benefits status.  A definitive judicial interpretation of “employer” in the context of a professional employer organization or employee leasing arrangement has not been established.





If the Company were found not to be an employer for ERISA, Code purposes, or the tax qualification requirements of the Code, the Company would be subject to liabilities, including penalties, with respect to its cafeteria benefits plan for failure to withhold and pay taxes applicable to salary deferral contributions by its clients’ employees.  In addition, as a result of such a finding, the Company and its plans would not enjoy, with respect to client employees, the preemption of state laws provided by ERISA and could be subject to varying state laws and regulation, as well as to claims based upon state common laws.





Government Regulation





Companies in our Business Solutions segment are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations pertaining to various employee benefit plans, employee retirement plans (such as the 401(k)), Section 125 cafeteria plans, group health plans, welfare benefit plans and health care flexible spending accounts.





The federal, state, and local regulations also apply to the payment of taxes based upon wages paid to the employees through the payroll process.  These taxes include the withholding of income tax, obligations under the Federal Income Contribution Act (“FICA”) which includes both Social Security and Medicare taxes, the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (“FUTA”) and the State Unemployment Tax Act (“SUTA”).





In addition, compliance with COBRA, HIPAA and ERISA (for employee benefit plans sponsored solely by our PEOs) regulations are required.  Certain states also have varying regulations regarding licensing, registration or certification requirements for PEOs.





Healthcare Reform Legislation




The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“PPACA”) became law on March 23, 2010 and amended on March 30, 2010 by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (the “Reconciliation Act”).  The PPACA and Reconciliation Act (collectively the “Act”) set forth a number of health care reforms, effective between 2010 through 2018.  Until more guidance and information relating to employer responsibilities is determined, the full effect of the Act upon the Company and its customers is unknown at this time.  However, we believe that we will be able to provide a valuable service for our existing and potential customers by providing the necessary expertise to ensure compliance with the new regulations, because most of our customer base consists of small to medium-sized businesses without the in-house proficiency to do so.




Our initial interpretations of the Act include certain requirements that we anticipate to materially affect the Company.  The most immediate provision, effective in 2010, enables eligible small business to receive a tax credit for offering health care coverage to employees.  The Act does not expressly address whether small business that are in co-employer relationships with a PEO would receive these tax credits, but discussion in the Congressional Record leads us to believe our qualifying customers and potential customers would be entitled to such tax credits.




The Act contains a number of mandates for health insurance plans to be implemented starting in 2011.  We anticipate the ability to meet all of the requirements we do not already meet and provide that service to our customers.  The Company’s cost of implementing any necessary changes may be passed through to our customers, which may affect our ability to attract and retain customers.  If we are unable to pass those increases along to our customers for any reason, such as contractual obligations, the increases may negatively impact the Company’s earnings.




In 2012, the Act requires a mandatory new Form W-2 reporting requirement for informational purposes only that was optional in 2011. We do not believe this will adversely impact our client relationships or operations. The cost to implement this requirement will be minimal.




The Act provides for the establishment of state insurance exchanges effective in 2014, which would make health insurance available to individuals and small employers with 100 or less employees.  Tax credits and subsidies will be provided to eligible small businesses, as well as individuals who purchase health insurance through the state insurance exchanges.  Employers with at least 50 full-time employees will incur penalties if they fail to offer the minimal essential coverage as defined in the Act to eligible employees.




5




The Act includes an excise tax provision which levies a 40% nondeductible tax to the employer on the annual value of health plan costs for employees that exceed $10,200 for single coverage or $27,500 for family coverage in 2018.  The effect this tax will have on the Company and our customers will depend on the benefit plans offered to our customers’ employees.  We believe our expertise will allow us to provide guidance to our customers on the best ways to avoid incurring any such excise taxes.





At this time, we do not know what effect, if any, the Act will have on our business.  The overall interpretation and implementation of the requirements in the Act will likely be determined by future guidance from various governmental entities.  Based on our initial research and interpretations, and due to the scheduled implementation of the provisions of the Act, we do not expect the Act to have a material adverse impact on our results of operations in 2012.





Wireless Infrastructure Segment





Through November 30, 2008, we invested in wireless infrastructure businesses, having completed six acquisitions primarily related to infrastructure products and service offerings related to the development, marketing, management, maintenance and upgrading of wireless telecommunications sites.  In November 2005, we began marketing the consolidated services of these subsidiaries under the Fortune Wireless, Inc. (“Fortune Wireless”) name brand to promote our ‘turn-key’ service offerings whereby we assist with multiple areas of wireless infrastructure under integrated contracting arrangements.  Turn-key services include site acquisition, engineering, architecture and design, and construction/technical services.





Subsidiaries operating in the Company’s Wireless Infrastructure segment included Fortune Wireless, Magtech Services, Inc., Cornerstone Wireless Construction Services, Inc. and James Westbrook & Associates, LLC.





The services rendered by this segment accounted for 0% of our revenue in fiscal 2011 and 2010, and 5% of our consolidated revenues in 2009.





Effective November 30, 2008, the Company sold its subsidiaries operating in the Wireless Infrastructure segment and was no longer active in this segment.





Transportation Infrastructure Segment





The Transportation Infrastructure segment assisted customers with the development, maintenance and upgrading of transportation infrastructure and commercial construction projects.  Transportation infrastructure products and services were performed by James H Drew Corp. and subsidiaries (JH Drew).  JH Drew was acquired in April 2004 and had been operating for over fifty years servicing contractors and state departments of transportation throughout the Midwestern United States.  JH Drew was a leading specialty contractor in the field of transportation infrastructure, including guardrail, electrical components, and the fabrication and installation of structural steel for commercial buildings.





The products and services rendered by this segment accounted for 0% of our revenue in fiscal 2011 and 2010, and 17% of our consolidated revenues in 2009.





Effective November 30, 2008, the Company sold its subsidiary operating in the Transportation Infrastructure segment and was no longer active in this segment.





Ultraviolet Technologies Segment





The Ultraviolet (UV) Technologies segment manufactured UV curable screen printing inks.  UV Technologies products were manufactured by Nor-Cote International, Inc. and subsidiaries (Nor-Cote), which we acquired in July 2003.  These ink products were printed on many types of plastic, metals and other substrates that were compatible with the UV curing process.  Typical applications were plastic sheets, point-of-purchase (POP) signage, banners, decals, cell phones, bottles and containers, CD and DVD, rotary-screen printed labels, and membrane switch overlays for conductive ink.  Nor-Cote had operating facilities in the United States, United Kingdom, China, Singapore and Mexico, with worldwide distributors located in South Africa, Australia, Canada, China, Colombia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, Poland, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand and the United States.





The products produced by this segment accounted for 0% of our revenue in fiscal 2011 and 2010, and 4% of our consolidated revenues in 2009.





Effective November 30, 2008, the Company sold its subsidiary operating in the Ultraviolet Technology segment and was no longer active in this segment.





Electronics Integration Segment





The Electronics Integration segment sold and installed a variety of electronic products and equipment, including video, sound and security products.  Subsidiaries include Kingston Sales Corporation (Kingston), Commercial Solutions, Inc. (Commercial Solutions) and Telecom Technologies, Corp. (TTC).




6


Kingston and Commercial Solutions were distributors for prominent national companies in the electronic, sound, security, and video markets.  Customers included businesses in the hospitality, healthcare, education, transportation and retail industries.  Product offerings included the latest technology in HDTV displays, including LCD and plasma televisions, sound systems, electronic locking devices, wire, cable and fiber optics, and intercom systems.  The Electronics Integration segment also included mobile audio products for the RV and marine industry as well as telecommunications products for commercial and residential applications.





TTC provided a wide range of design, engineering and installation of residential, commercial, and retail audio and video systems including video-conferencing, digital signage, touch panel control systems, board-room, home-theater, surround sound audio and security and CCTV systems, as well as design, engineering and installation of structured cabling systems, digital satellite television and wireless and network high speed (broadband) internet.





The products and services rendered by this segment accounted for 0% of our revenue in fiscal 2011 and 2010, and 2% of our consolidated revenues in 2009.





Effective November 30, 2008, the Company sold Commercial Solutions, and Kingston and TTC ceased operations.  The Company was no longer active in the Electronics Integration segment.





Employees





As of June 30, 2011, we employed approximately 95 full-time employees.  Additionally, within the Business Solutions segment, we had approximately 15,000 co-employees under customer-contract relationships.  Our in-house staff is supplemented with contract personnel on an as-needed basis.  Management believes that its relationships with its employees are generally satisfactory.





Control Group





At July 1, 2009, a Control Group held 72.5% or 8,756,874 shares of our outstanding common stock.  Members of the control group included our CEO, Mr. John F. Fisbeck, and our Chairman of the Board, Mr. Carter M. Fortune.  Individually, each of the above persons or entities had the sole voting and dispositive power over the following number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock as of July 1, 2009: John F. Fisbeck, 1,637,701 (or 13.6%) and Carter M. Fortune, 4,135,010 (or 34.2%). In addition to the above shares, Messrs. Fisbeck and Fortune shared dispositive control over 2,682,073 (or 22.2%) shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by 14 West, LLC.





Effective January 15, 2010, John F. Fisbeck resigned as CEO of the Company and a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, and as a result, the Control Group ceased to exist.





Fisbeck-Fortune Development, LLC





Through November 30, 2008, the Company leased a total of five facilities from a consolidated variable interest entity, whose primary purpose is to own and lease these properties to the Company.  Effective November 30, 2008, the Company terminated its lease agreement for its corporate headquarters and sold its JH Drew and Nor-Cote subsidiaries which leased facilities from the variable interest entity; therefore, the Company was no longer required to consolidate the variable interest entity because the Company was no longer the primary beneficiary as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 810-10, “Consolidation - Variable Interest Entities”.





The termination of the lease and the sale of subsidiaries provided for a triggering event under ASC 810-10.  As a result, effective November 30, 2008 the Company was no longer considered the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity and was not required to consolidate Fisbeck-Fortune Development as of this date.

Item 1A. Risk Factors





Our businesses are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties which are described below. These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not described or not known to management of the Company may also impair business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.





We could have unfavorable  workers’ compensation claim experiences.





The Business Solutions segment calculates reserves for workers’ compensation claims by estimating unpaid losses and loss expenses with respect to claims occurring on or before the balance sheet date, and in certain instances, we carry high deductibles on these policies.  Such estimates include provisions for reported claims and provisions for incurred-but-not-reported claims.  The estimates of unpaid losses are established and continually reviewed by the Company using a variety of statistical and analytical techniques.  Reserve estimates reflect past claims experience, currently known factors and trends and estimates of future claim trends.  We cannot be certain that future claims will be consistent with past experience.





We could face additional liability for worksite employee payroll and benefits costs.





Under customer service agreements in our Business Solutions segment, we become a co-employer of worksite employees and assume the obligations to pay the salaries, wages and related benefits costs and payroll taxes of such worksite employees.  Our obligations include responsibility for:





§
payment of the salaries and wages for work performed by worksite employees, regardless of whether the client timely pays us the associated service fee; and


§
providing benefits to worksite employees even if our costs to provide such benefits exceed the fees the client pays us.





If a client does not pay us, or if the costs of benefits we provide to worksite employees exceed the fees a client pays us, our ultimate liability for worksite employee payroll and benefits costs could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.





We may face operational challenges as a result of changes in federal, state and local regulations.





As a major employer, our operations in the Business Solutions segment are affected by numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to labor, tax and employment matters. By entering into a co-employer relationship with employees of our clients, we assume certain obligations and responsibilities of an employer under these laws. However, many of these laws (such as ERISA and federal and state employment tax laws) do not specifically address the obligations and responsibilities of non-traditional employers such as PEOs, and the definition of “employer” under these laws is not uniform. In addition, some of the states in which we operate have not addressed the PEO relationship for purposes of compliance with applicable state laws governing the employer/employee relationship. Any adverse application of these other federal or state laws to the PEO relationship with our worksite employees could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.  However, due to the strong legislative efforts of the National Association of Professional Employer Organizations (NAPEO), much of this risk is being mitigated, as NAPEO has put in place in many states, via legislation, regulations that satisfy most state legislatures.  These self-imposed industry regulations also help to clarify or define the PEO co-employment relationship in various areas of state employment law and have greatly reduced the risk of legislative change negatively affecting PEOs at the state level.





While many states do not explicitly regulate PEOs, various states have passed or may be considering passing laws that have licensing or registration requirements for PEOs. Such laws vary from state to state, but generally provide for monitoring the fiscal responsibility of PEOs, and in some cases codify and clarify the co-employment relationship for unemployment, workers’ compensation and other purposes under state law. While we generally support licensing regulation because it serves to validate the PEO relationship, we typically satisfy licensing requirements or other applicable regulations for the states we currently operate in.  However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain licenses in all states.





We may face additional liabilities as a result of increases in unemployment tax rates and taxable wage thresholds.




We record our state unemployment tax expense based on taxable wages and tax rates assigned by each state. State unemployment tax rates and taxable wage thresholds vary by state and are determined, in part, based on prior years’ compensation experience in each state. Should our claim experience increase, our unemployment tax rates could increase. In addition, states have the ability under law to increase unemployment tax rates and taxable wage thresholds to cover deficiencies in the unemployment tax fund. Some states have implemented retroactive cost increases.  Some client contractual arrangements limit our ability to incorporate such increases into service fees, which could result in a delay before such increases could be reflected in service fees.




8





Our results of operations could be adversely affected as a result of goodwill impairments.




When we acquire a business, we record goodwill equal to the excess amount we pay for the business, including liabilities assumed, over the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets of the business we acquire. FASB ASC 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other” which provides that goodwill and other intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives not be amortized, but instead must be assessed at least annually for impairment, and intangible assets that have finite useful lives should continue to be amortized over their useful lives. ASC 350 also provides specific guidance for testing goodwill and other non-amortized intangible assets for impairment. ASC 350 requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions when allocating goodwill to reporting units and determining the fair value of reporting unit net assets and liabilities, including, among other things, an assessment of market conditions, projected cash flows, investment rates, cost of capital and growth rates, which could significantly impact the reported value of goodwill and other intangible assets. Fair value is determined using a combination of the discounted cash flow, market multiple and market capitalization valuation approaches. We perform our impairment assessment annually as of the end of the fiscal first quarter. Future impairments, if any, will be recognized as operating expenses.





We may not be able to successfully achieve the expected benefits of acquisitions, which expose us to risks associated with these transactions.





We have made and may continue to make acquisitions or investments in or engage in strategic partnering relationships with other companies or technologies. We may not be able to successfully achieve expected benefits.  Additionally, we may be exposed to factors including but not limited to unanticipated contingent liabilities, additional expenses, loss of key employees or customers, or other contingencies consistent with acquisition risks, which ultimately could result in significantly decreased earnings and material and adverse effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations.





The departure of key personnel could disrupt our business, and few of our key personnel have employment contracts requiring a service commitment.





We depend on the continued efforts of our executive officers and on the senior management of the businesses we acquire. Although we have entered into an employment agreement with each of our executive officers and certain other key employees, we cannot be certain that any individual will continue in such capacity for any particular period of time.  The loss of key personnel, or the inability to hire and retain qualified employees, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.  We do not carry key-person life insurance on some key employees, including our majority shareholder that guarantees certain debt obligations.





If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. In the past we have reported material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that, if we do not substantially remedy, could result in material misstatements in our financial statements, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.





Certain businesses we have acquired may have had limited infrastructure and systems of internal controls. Performing assessments of internal controls, implementing necessary changes, and maintaining an effective internal controls process is costly and requires considerable management attention, particularly in the case of newly acquired entities. Internal control systems are designed in part upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and all such systems, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.





We also cannot assure that we will implement and maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future or that additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal controls will not be discovered in the future. Any failure to remediate any future material weaknesses or implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in our financial statements or other public disclosures. Inferior internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.





The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources and require significant management time and attention.





As a public company we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules of the NYSE Amex.  The requirements of these rules and regulations have increased, and may further increase in the future, our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time consuming or costly and may also place undue strain on our systems and resources.  The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition.  In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, and internal controls over financial reporting, significant resources and management oversight will be required.  These rules and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified independent members of our Board of Directors and qualified members of our management team.

The financial markets have recently experienced significant turmoil which may negatively impact our liquidity, our ability to obtain financing and our ability to process transactions through the banking system.





Our liquidity and our ability to obtain financing may be negatively impacted if one of our Lenders holding our letters of credit, or another financial institution, suffers liquidity issues or ceases operations.  In such an event, we would be forced to find other sources for our letters of credit that were acceptable to our vendors.  Also, if we attempt to obtain future financing, we may be unable to obtain such financing which could materially adversely affect our operations, financial condition and cash flows.




Our short-term results may be negatively impacted due to changes in health insurance costs, state unemployment tax rates and workers’ compensation rates, which we may not be able to immediately pass through to our clients.





Health insurance costs, workers’ compensation and employment practices liability insurance rates and state unemployment taxes are primarily determined by our claims experience and comprise a significant portion of our actual costs.  Should we experience a significant increase in claims activity, due to the current economic downturn or otherwise, we may experience a substantial increase in our health insurance premiums, unemployment taxes, or workers’ compensation and employment practices liability insurance rates.  Our ability to pass such increases through to our clients on a timely basis may be delayed and our clients may not agree to the increases, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.





Our insurance-related loss reserves may be inadequate to cover our ultimate liability for losses and as a result our financial results could be materially and adversely affected.





We maintain loss reserves to cover our liabilities for the costs of our workers’ compensation programs.  These reserves are not an exact calculation of our liability, but rather are estimates based on a number of factors including but not limited to actuarial calculations, current and historical loss trends and payment patterns, the number of open claims, developments relating to the actual claims incurred, medical trend rates and the impact of acquisitions, if any.  Variables in the reserve estimation may be affected by both internal and external factors, such as changes in claims handling procedures, fluctuations in the administrative costs associated with the program, economic conditions, fiscal policies, interest rates, legal determinations and legislative and regulatory changes.  Although our reserves estimates are regularly refined as historical loss experience develops and additional claims are reported and settled, because of the uncertainties of estimating loss reserves, we cannot assure you that our reserves are adequate, and actual costs and expenses may exceed our reserves.  If our reserves are insufficient to cover actual losses we may incur potentially material charges to our earnings.




Our ability to manage health care costs affects our profitability.





Our profitability depends in part on our ability to appropriately predict and manage future health care costs through underwriting criteria and negotiation of favorable contracts with health care plan providers.  The aging of the population and other demographic characteristics, the introduction of new or costly treatments resulting from advances in medical technology and other factors continue to contribute to rising health care costs.  Government-imposed limitations on Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements have also caused the private sector to assume a greater share of increasing health care costs.  Changes in health care practices, inflation, new technologies, increases in the cost of prescription drugs, direct-to-consumer marketing by pharmaceutical companies, clusters of high cost cases, utilization levels, changes in the regulatory environment, health care provider or member fraud, and numerous other factors affecting the cost of health care can be beyond any health plan provider’s control and may adversely affect our ability to predict and manage health care costs, as well as our business, financial condition and operating results.





We use actuarial data to assist us in analyzing and projecting these amounts, however, we and our carriers may not be successful in managing the cost of our plans.  Accordingly, our costs under our health benefit plans may exceed our estimates, requiring us to fund the difference.  Any significant funding obligation may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.




We operate in a complex regulatory environment and failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could adversely affect our business.





The human resource outsourcing and PEO environment is subject to a number of federal and state laws and regulations, including those applicable to payroll practices, taxes, benefits administration, insurance, wage and hour, employment practices and data privacy.    As many of these laws do not specifically address the obligations and responsibilities of a professional employer organization, assuring compliance with such laws and assessing the financial impact of such compliance can be difficult.




10


Because our clients have employees in states throughout the United States, we must also perform our services in compliance with the legal and regulatory requirements of multiple jurisdictions.  Some of these laws and regulations may be difficult to ascertain or interpret, may conflict and may change over time, and the addition of new services may subject us to additional laws and regulations.  Many of these laws and regulations were instituted prior to the development of the professional employer organization industry, and therefore can be difficult to interpret or assess and may change over time.  As a result of uncertainty and inconsistency in the interpretation and application of many of these laws and regulations, from time to time we have had disagreements with regulatory agencies in various states, some of which have resulted in administrative proceedings between a state agency and us.  If we are unable to continue to provide certain contractual obligations, such as the payment of employment taxes on the salaries and wages paid to client employees, due to an adverse determination regarding our regulatory status as an “employer”, our clients may be held jointly and severally liable for such payments.  Violation of these laws and regulations could subject us to fines and penalties, damage our reputation, constitute breach of our client contracts and impair our ability to do business in various jurisdictions or in accordance with established processes.





In addition, many states in which we operate have enacted laws that require licensing or registration of professional employer organizations, including Florida and Texas, and additional states are considering such legislation.  We may not be able to satisfy the licensing requirements or other applicable regulations of any particular state, or we may be unable to renew our licenses in the states in which we currently operate upon expiration of such licenses, which could prevent us from providing services to client employees in a certain state.  In addition, many of these states have reciprocal disciplinary arrangements under which disciplinary action in one state can be the basis for disciplinary action in one or more other states.  Future changes in or additions to these requirements may require us to modify the manner in which we provide services to our clients, which may increase our costs in providing such services.





We are also increasingly affected by legal requirements relating to privacy of information.  We anticipate that additional federal and state privacy laws and regulations beyond the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and the regulations promulgated there under will continue to be enacted and implemented.  The scope of any such new laws and regulations may be very broad and entail significant costs for us to be in compliance.




As a result of our co-employment relationship with most of our clients and client employees, we may be subject to liabilities as a result of their acts or omissions.





We enter into a contractual relationship with each of our clients, whereby the client transfers certain employment-related risks and liabilities to us and retains other risks and liabilities. Many federal and state laws that apply to the employer-employee relationship do not specifically address the obligations and responsibilities of this “co-employment” relationship.  Consequently, we may be subject to liability for violations of employment or discrimination laws, including violations of federal and state wage and hour laws, by our clients despite the contractual division of responsibilities between us, even if we do not participate in such violations.   In addition, our client employees may also be deemed to be acting as our agents, subjecting us to further liability for the acts or omissions of such client employees.  Although our professional services agreement provides that the client will indemnify us for any liability attributable to its own or its employees’ conduct, we may not be able to effectively enforce or collect such contractual indemnification.  While we do maintain Employer Practices Liability Insurance (“EPLI”) to mitigate some of this risk, any such liability imposed upon us could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.




Because we assume the obligation to make wage, tax and regulatory payments on behalf of our clients, we are exposed to certain credit risks with respect to our clients.





Under the terms of our professional services agreement, for clients serviced on a co-employed basis we generally assume responsibility for and manage the risks associated with each of our client’s employee payroll obligations, including the payment of salaries, wages and associated taxes, and, at the client’s option, the responsibility for providing group health, welfare and retirement benefits to each client employee.  In this “co-employment” relationship, we directly assume these obligations, and unlike payroll processing service providers, we issue payroll checks to each client employee drawn on our own bank accounts.  In several states, we are required to pay wages, payroll taxes and other amounts related to payroll regardless of whether the client timely funds such payments to us.  For clients serviced either on a co-employed or non co-employed basis, who meet certain financial underwriting requirements, the Company may issue payroll to a client’s employees prior to irrevocable receipt of payroll, taxes and associated service fees.  If we are unable to collect these payments from our larger clients, there may be a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.




Our majority shareholder owns a substantial majority of our common stock and 100 percent of the company’s outstanding preferred stock.





As of June 30, 2011, our majority shareholder, Carter M. Fortune owns 6,084,853 shares (or 50%) of our outstanding common stock.  In addition to the above shares, Mr. Fortune has dispositive control over 1,259,834 shares (or 10%) of the Company’s Common Stock held by 14 West, LLC as of June 30, 2011.




As a result, this person could have a controlling influence in determining the outcome of any corporate matters submitted to our shareholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations, election of directors and any other significant corporate actions.  The interests of this shareholder may differ from the interests of the Company’s other shareholders and their stock ownership and thereby may limit the ability of other shareholders to influence the management and affairs of the Company.




11





Our majority shareholder has pledged his ownership holdings in the Company as collateral on certain personal debt obligations. If our majority shareholder were to default on these debt obligations and the collateral is called upon by the lending institution, it could result in a potential change in ownership of the public company which could be viewed as a negative occurrence by vendors, customers and/or various contractual partners. The occurrence of such an event could have a material adverse effect on the operations of the Company as a whole.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations





The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the other financial data appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K.





Overview




As a holding company of various product and service entities, we have historically invested in businesses that we believe are undervalued or underperforming, and /or in operations that are poised for significant growth.  Management’s strategic focus is to support the growth of its operations by increasing revenues and revenue streams, managing costs and creating earnings growth.





Our operations are largely decentralized from the corporate office.  Autonomy is given to subsidiary entities, and there are few integrated business functions (i.e. sales, marketing, purchasing and human resources).  Day-to-day operating decisions are made by subsidiary management teams.  Our Corporate management team assists in operational decisions when deemed necessary, selects subsidiary management teams and handles capital allocation among our operations.





We were incorporated in the state of Delaware in 1988, restructured in 2000 and redomesticated to the state of Indiana in May 2005.  Prior to 2001, we conducted business mainly in the entertainment industry.




Until November 30, 2008, we classified our businesses under five operating segments:  Business Solutions; Wireless Infrastructure; Transportation Infrastructure; Ultraviolet Technologies; and Electronics Integration.   Effective November 30, 2008, we approved the sale of all of our remaining operating subsidiaries within four of our five segments (Wireless Infrastructure, Transportation Infrastructure, Ultraviolet Infrastructure, and Electronics Integration).  Consequently, as of the effective date of the transaction, our Business Solutions segment is the Company’s remaining operating segment.  The sales transaction, combined with other significant events disclosed in Note 2 of our financial statements in Item 8, changed the focus of our Company in fiscal 2009 and thereafter.  This operational change in our Company will impact the comparability of our financial information compared to historical data presented in past filings.





Key Factors Affecting or Potentially Affecting Results of Operations and Financial Condition





Management considers the following factors, events, trends and uncertainties to be important to understanding its results of operations and financial condition:





Holding Company





Over the past eight fiscal periods, we have completed six key acquisitions.  Four of these key acquisitions have been in the PEO industry.  In February 2007, the Company acquired PEM, a PEO located in Arizona.  In March 2007, the Company acquired ESG, a PEO located in Utah and Colorado.  The Company’s acquisition of ESG enabled the Company to expand its geographic presence in the PEO marketplace.  In April 2005, we acquired CSM, a PEO located in Nashville, Tennessee.  This acquisition of the oldest PEO in the state expanded our Business Solutions segment service offerings.  In April 2004, we acquired JH Drew, a construction installer of highway-products and commercial structural steel.  This acquisition allowed us to gain entry into the transportation infrastructure business in the Midwestern United States.  In October 2003 we acquired PSM, a PEO located in Indianapolis, Indiana.  This acquisition allowed us to gain entry into the PEO market.  In July 2003 we acquired Nor-Cote, a specialty ink manufacturer with worldwide distribution channels.  This acquisition allowed us to gain entry into the ultraviolet ink business.




14





There are several key factors that have affected or potentially may affect our results of operations including the following:





§
Earnings are dependent on a number of factors including our ability to execute operational strategies and integrate acquired companies into our existing operations.  Our historical growth has been due to several significant acquisitions in the past..  Future growth in revenues and earnings may not increase at the same rate as historical growth.


§
Certain expenses, such as wages, benefits and rent, are subject to normal inflationary pressures.  Inflation for medical costs can impact our reserves for workers' compensation claims.


§
Ourmajority shareholder effectively owns 60% of the outstanding Common Stock and 100% of the outstanding Preferred Stock of the Company.  As a result, he could have a controlling influence in determining the outcome of any corporate matters submitted to our shareholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations, election of directors and any other significant corporate actions.  The interests of this shareholder may differ from the interests of the Company’s other shareholders and his stock ownership may thereby limit the ability of other shareholders to influence the management and affairs of the Company.





Business Solutions





Our PEOs provide services typically managed by a company’s internal human resources and accounting departments, including payroll and tax processing and management, worker’s compensation and risk management, benefits administration, unemployment administration, human resource compliance services, 401k and retirement plan administration and employee assessments.  The majority of customer operations are concentrated in the Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, Tennessee and Utah markets. Financial results may be affected by changes in the state regulatory environments, results under our partially self-funded workers’ compensation insurance plans, and economic conditions.





Wireless Infrastructure





Through November 30, 2008, we invested in wireless infrastructure businesses, having completed six acquisitions primarily related to infrastructure products and service offerings related to the development, marketing, management, maintenance and upgrading of wireless telecommunications sites.  Subsidiaries operating in the Company’s Wireless Infrastructure segment included Fortune Wireless, Magtech Services, Inc., Cornerstone Wireless Construction Services, Inc. and James Westbrook & Associates, LLC.





Effective November 30, 2008, the Company sold its subsidiaries operating in the Wireless Infrastructure segment.





Transportation Infrastructure





Through November 30, 2008, the Company owned subsidiaries in its Transportation Infrastructure segment that assist customers with the development, maintenance and upgrading of transportation infrastructure and commercial construction projects.  Transportation infrastructure products and services were performed by JH Drew.  JH Drew was acquired in April 2004 and had been operating for over fifty years servicing contractors and state departments of transportation throughout the Midwestern United States.  JH Drew was a leading specialty contractor in the field of transportation infrastructure, including guardrail, electrical components, and the fabrication and installation of structural steel for commercial buildings.





Effective November 30, 2008, the Company sold its subsidiaries operating in the Transportation Infrastructure segment.





Ultraviolet Technologies





Through November 30, 2008, the Company owned subsidiaries in its Ultraviolet (UV) Technologies segment that manufactured UV curable screen printing inks.  UV Technologies products were manufactured by Nor-Cote, which we acquired in July 2003. These ink products were printed on many types of plastic, metals and other substrates that were compatible with the UV curing process.  Typical applications were plastic sheets, point-of-purchase (POP) signage, banners, decals, cell phones, bottles and containers, CD and DVD, rotary-screen printed labels, and membrane switch overlays for conductive ink.  Nor-Cote had operating facilities in the United States, United Kingdom, China, Singapore and Mexico, with worldwide distributors located in South Africa, Australia, Canada, China, Colombia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, Poland, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand and the United States.





Effective November 30, 2008, the Company sold its subsidiaries operating in the Ultraviolet Technologies segment.





Electronics Integration





Through November 30, 2008, the Company owned subsidiaries in its Electronics Integration segment that sold and installed a variety of electronic products and equipment, including video, sound and security products.  Subsidiaries included Kingston, Commercial Solutions and Telecom Technology Corp. (TTC) d/b/a Audio-Video Revolution, Inc. (AVR).





Effective November 30, 2008, the Company sold its subsidiary Commercial Solutions and discontinued operations of its subsidiaries Kingston and TTC d/b/a AVR in its Electronics Integration segment.

Fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 versus June 30, 2010





Net income allocable to common stock shareholders was $1.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share on revenues of $64.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2011 compared with net income of $0.6 million, or $0.04 per diluted share on revenues of $60.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2010.  The increase in revenue is due to an overall increase in worksite employees and billings.  The increase in operating income is due to the reduction of losses on the health care plan and continued efficiency improvements and expense reductions in all aspects of the company’s operations.

Net income allocable to common stock shareholders was $0.6 million, or $0.04 per diluted share on revenues of $60.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2010 compared with $0.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share on revenues of $72.9 million for the ten months ended June 30, 2009.  The decrease in revenue is a direct result of the sale of the non-PEO subsidiaries in the prior fiscal year along with a decrease in worksite employee accounts and processed payroll during the current year.  The increase in operating income is due to the continued reduction of losses on the health care plan and continued efficiency improvements and expense reductions in all aspects of the companies’ operations.

Revenues





Revenues for the year ended June 30, 2011 were $64.3 million, compared to $60.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $3.6 million, or 5.9%.  Revenue increased primarily due to an overall increase in worksite employees and billings.

Revenue increased primarily due to reporting a twelve-month fiscal year versus a ten-month interim reporting period.  Average monthly revenue for the year ended June 30, 2010 was approximately $300,000 less (or 4.7%) than the prior year ending. This was a direct result of a reduction of worksite employees and decreased levels of payroll during the current year.





Gross Profit

Holding Company





Interest Expense





Interest expense was $0.04 million for the year ended June 30, 2011, compared to $0.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2010.  Interest expense decreased due to the reduction in the outstanding principal balance of the Company’s term note.





Interest expense was $0.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2010, compared to $0.1 million for the ten months ended June 30, 2009.  There was no significant change to interest expense.





Income Taxes





There was $0.1 and $0.3 million of income tax benefit for the year ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively.  A valuation allowance is necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets, if the Company had a federal tax operating loss and based on the weight of the evidence; it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Management has determined that a $6.2 million valuation allowance at June 30, 2011 is necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized.  The change in the valuation allowance for the current period is ($0.8) million.




19





There was $0.3 and $0.9 million of income tax benefit for the year ended June 30, 2010 and for the ten months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.  A valuation allowance is necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets, if the Company had a federal tax operating loss and based on the weight of the evidence; it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Management has determined that a $7.0 million valuation allowance at June 30, 2010 is necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized.  The change in the valuation allowance for the current period is ($0.6) million.





Liquidity and Capital Resources





Our principal sources of liquidity include cash and equivalents and proceeds from debt borrowings.  We had $6.0 million and $2.3 million of cash and equivalents at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.





We had working capital of $2.6 million at June 30, 2011 compared with $1.2 million at June 30, 2010. The increase in working capital was primarily due to the positive cash flow generated by operations during the current year.  Current assets are composed primarily of cash and equivalents, restricted cash and net accounts receivable.





The Company is required to collateralize its obligations under its workers’ compensation plans and certain general insurance coverage.  The Company uses its cash and cash equivalents to collateralize these obligations. Restricted cash was approximately $2.4 and $2.8 at June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively.





Total debt was $0.4 and $0.9 million at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The decrease in debt was due to the reduction of principle balance of the $1.0 million term note put in place in the prior year.  In addition, the Company entered into a $2.0 million revolving line of credit agreement on April 15, 2011, which is used to cover a letter of credit to one of our major vendors.  There were no draws on the line of credit at June 30, 2011.





The debt agreements contain restrictive covenants which limit, among other things, certain mergers and acquisitions, redemptions of common stock, and payment of dividends. In addition, we must meet certain financial ratios.





Cash Flows





Net cash provided by operating activities was $5.0 million, $0.8 million and $0.8 million for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and the ten months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.





Net cash used in investing activities was $0, $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and the ten months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.





Net cash used in financing activities was $1.3 million, $0.1 million and $3.7 million for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and the ten months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements





As is common in the industries in which we operate, we have entered into certain off-balance sheet arrangements in the ordinary course of business that result in risks not directly reflected in our balance sheets. Our significant off-balance sheet transactions include liabilities associated with guaranties and letter of credit obligations.




20





Guaranties





A significant portion of our debt and letters of credit are personally guaranteed by the Company’s Chairman.  Future changes to these guarantees would affect financing capacity of the Company.  As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Chairman of the Board had personally guaranteed Company debt and obligations under irrevocable letter of credit arrangements in the amount of $2.15 million.  The Company paid guarantee fees of $0.2 million for the ten months ending June 30, 2009.   The Company did not pay any guarantee fees during the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2011.





Restricted Cash





Certain states and vendors require us to post letters of credit to ensure payment of taxes or payments to our vendors under workers’ compensation contracts and to guarantee performance under our contracts. Such letters of credit are generally issued by a bank or similar financial institution. The letter of credit commits the issuer to pay specified amounts to the holder of the letter of credit if the holder demonstrates that we have failed to perform specified actions. If this were to occur, we would be required to reimburse the issuer of the letter of credit. Depending on the circumstances of such a reimbursement, we may also have to record a charge to earnings for the reimbursement. We do not believe that it is likely that any claims will be made under a letter of credit in the foreseeable future.  As of June 30, 2011, we had approximately $2.4 million in restricted cash primarily to secure obligations under our PEO contracts in the Business Solutions segment.





Majority Shareholder





As of June 30, 2011, our Chairman of the Board, Mr. Carter M. Fortune effectively owned and controlled 7,344,687 shares (or 60%) of our outstanding common stock. Mr. Fortune also is the sole owner of 100% of the 296,180 shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding at June 30, 2011. The common stock and preferred stock owned and held by Mr. Fortune serves as collateral for certain personal debt obligations of Mr. Fortune that do not represent liabilities of the Company.





Critical Accounting Policies





The Company has identified the following policies as critical to its business and the understanding of its results of operations.  The impact of these policies is discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations where these policies affect reported and anticipated financial results.  For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies see the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.  Preparation of this report requires the Company’s use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported revenue and expense amounts for the periods being reported.  On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates these estimates, including those related to the valuation of accounts receivable reserves, the potential impairment of long-lived assets and income taxes, and valuation of certain liability reserves.  The Company bases the estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.  Senior management has discussed the development, selection, and disclosure of these estimates with the Company’s audit committee.





Management believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of its consolidated financial statements.





Revenue and Cost Recognition





In the Business Solutions segment, PSM, CSM, and ESG and related entities bill clients under their Professional Services Agreement as licensed Professional Employer Organizations (collectively the “PEOs”), which includes each worksite employee’s gross wages, plus additional charges for employment related taxes, benefits, workers’ compensation insurance, administrative and record keeping, as well as safety, human resources, and regulatory compliance consultation. Most wages, taxes and insurance coverage are provided under the PEOs’ federal, state, and local or vendor identification numbers. No identification or recognition is given to the client when these monies are remitted or calculations are reported. Most calculations or amounts the PEOs owe the government and its employment insurance vendors are based on the experience levels and activity of the PEOs with no consideration to client detail. The PEOs bill the client their worksite employees’ gross wages plus an overall service fee that includes components of employment related taxes, employment benefits insurance, and administration of those items. The component of the service fee related to administration varies, in part, according to the size of the client, the amount and frequency of payroll payments and the method of delivery of such payments. The component of the service fee related to health, workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance is based, in part, on the client’s historical claims experience. Charges by the PEOs are invoiced along with each periodic payroll delivered to the client.




21





The PEOs report revenues in accordance FASB ASC 605-45, “Revenue Recognition - Principal Agent Considerations.”  The PEOs report revenues on a gross basis, the total amount billed to clients for service fees which includes health and welfare benefit plan fees, workers’ compensation insurance, unemployment insurance fees, and employment-related taxes. The PEOs report revenues on a gross basis for such fees because the PEOs are the primary obligor and deemed to be the principal in these transactions under ASC 605-45.  The PEOs report revenues on a net basis for the amount billed to clients for worksite employee salaries and wages. This accounting policy of reporting revenue net as an agent versus gross as a principal has no effect on gross profit, operating income, or net income.





The PEOs account for their revenues using the accrual method of accounting. Under the accrual method of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which the worksite employee performs work. The PEOs accrue revenues for service fees and payroll taxes relating to work performed by worksite employees but unpaid at the end of each period. The PEOs accrue unbilled receivables for payroll taxes and service fees relating to work performed by worksite employees but unpaid at the end of each period. In addition, the related costs of services are accrued as a liability for the same period. Subsequent to the end of each period, such costs are paid and the related service fees are billed.





Consistent with their revenue recognition policy, the PEOs direct costs do not include the payroll cost of its worksite employees. The Company’s direct costs associated with its revenue generating activities are comprised of all other costs related to its worksite employees, such as the employer portion of payroll-related taxes, employee benefit plan premiums and workers’ compensation insurance costs.





Valuation of Accounts Receivable Reserves:





Collectability of accounts receivable is evaluated for each subsidiary based on the current economic conditions. Other factors include analysis of historical bad debts, projected losses, and current past due accounts.  The Company’s accounts receivable reserves decreased by $0.02 million and $0.07 million respectively, at June 30, 2011 compared to June 30, 2010.





Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets:





Material goodwill included in the Company’s Business Solutions segment was assessed for impairment. In making this assessment, management relies on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, and transactions and market place data. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment. Since management’s judgment is involved in performing goodwill and other intangible assets valuation analyses, there is risk that the carrying value of the goodwill and other intangible assets may be overstated or understated.





The Company has elected to perform the annual impairment assessment of recorded goodwill as required by ASC 350 as of the end of fiscal first quarter.





The Company did not recognize any impairment of goodwill or intangible assets for years ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010.





Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:





The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets in accordance with FASB ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” which generally requires the Company to assess these assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amounts of such assets may not be recoverable. The Company considers historical performances and future estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated non-discounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by comparing projected individual segment discounted cash flows to the asset segment carrying values. The estimation of fair value is measured by discounting expected future cash flows at the discount rate the Company utilizes to evaluate potential investments. Actual results may differ from these estimates and as a result the estimation of fair values may be adjusted in the future.





Income Taxes:




Deferred tax assets are recognized for taxable temporary differences, tax credit and net operating losscarryforwards. These assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, which is established when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of June 30, 2011, Management has determined that a 90% valuation allowance against the Company’s $5.1 million component of deferred tax assets generated by the net operating loss carry forward of  $12.3 million is necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. As of June 30, 2011, Management has also determined that a $1.6 million valuation allowance against the Company’s $3.9 million of deferred tax assets generated by book versus tax differences of certain assets and liabilities is necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. The Company released $0.8 million of the valuation allowance in fiscal 2011 due to the positive earnings in the Company’s operations and projected earnings in fiscal 2012 and 2013.




As of June 30, 2010, Management has determined that a 100% valuation allowance against the Company’s $4.9 million component of deferred tax assets generated by the net operating loss carry forward of  $13.9 million is necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. As of June 30, 2010, Management has also determined that a $2.2 million valuation allowance against the Company’s $4.9 million of deferred tax assets generated by book versus tax differences of certain assets and liabilities is necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. The Company released $0.6 million of the valuation allowance in fiscal 2010 due to the positive earnings in the Company’s operations and projected earnings in fiscal 2011 and 2012.




22




In addition, management is required to estimate taxable income for future years by taxing jurisdictions and to consider this when making its judgment to determine whether or not to record a valuation allowance for part or all of a deferred tax asset. A one percent change in the Company’s overall statutory tax rate for 2011 would not have a material effect in the carrying value of the net deferred tax assets or liabilities.




The Company has operations in multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. Tax audits by their nature are often complex and can require several years to resolve. Accruals of tax contingencies require management to make estimates and judgments with respect to the ultimate outcome of tax audits. Actual results could vary from these estimates.





Workmen’s Compensation Reserves:




The Company’s Business Solutions segment recognizes significant reserves in relation to its partially self-funded workers’ compensation programs based on (a) the amount of past claims incurred and (b) the estimated time lag to report and pay such claims.  Our deductible under our workers’ compensation insurance at PSM and CSM is $0.25 million with an aggregate liability limit of approximately $2.0 million.  Our deductible under the ESG LUA policy is $0.35 million with no aggregate liability.  The  reserve recognized for unpaid workers’ compensation benefits on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet is $1.5 million (for which approximately $2.1 million of cash is restricted on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet) for the year ended June 30, 2011.




New Accounting Pronouncements:





See Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of this report for a discussion of new accounting pronouncements.





Forward-Looking Statements:





Statements contained in this document, as well as some statements by the Company in periodic press releases and oral statements of Company officials during presentations about the Company constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Act”).  Forward-looking statements include statements that are predictive in nature, depend on or refer to future events or conditions, which include words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “predict,” “believe” and similar expressions. These statements are based on the current intent, belief or expectation of the Company with respect to, among other things, trends affecting the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.  These statements are not guaranties of future performance and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.




Actual events and results involve risks and uncertainties and may differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in forward-looking statements due to a number of factors.  Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences, include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties that are discussed under the heading “Risk Factors.” Readers should carefully review the risk factors referred to above and the other documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.





Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk





Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2011was $6.0 million and is primarily invested in money market interest bearing accounts.  A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the average interest rate on the Company’s investments would not have had a material effect on net income for the year ended June 30, 2011. We do not currently utilize any derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate risks.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
 Board of Directors and Shareholders
 Fortune Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries
 Indianapolis, IN  46278
 
 We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Fortune Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three fiscal periods ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
 We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
 In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fortune Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries at June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three fiscal periods ended June 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED,


EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)





NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES





General





Fortune Industries, Inc. (formerly known as Fortune Diversified Industries, Inc.) is an Indiana corporation, originally incorporated in Delaware in 1988. The term “Company” as used herein refers to Fortune Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires.  The Company provides full service human resources outsourcing services through co-employment relationships with its clients.  As a holding company, the Company has historically invested in businesses that are undervalued, underperforming, or in operations that are poised for significant growth.  Management’s strategic focus is to support the revenue and earnings growth of its operations by creating synergies that can be leveraged to enhance the performance of the Company’s entities and by investing capital to fund expansion.  Effective November 30, 2008, the Company sold its subsidiaries in its Wireless Infrastructure, Transportation Infrastructure, Ultraviolet Technologies, and Electronics Integration business segments to a related party.  Refer to Note 2 for further details.  As of this date, management will focus all its financial and human capital resources on its subsidiaries in the Business Solutions segment.  The effect of this sale will impact the comparability of the Company’s financial information in future filings.





On April 13, 2009, our Board of Directors approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year end from August 31st to June 30thcommencing with our fiscal year 2009.  This resulted in our fiscal year 2009 being shortened from 12 months to 10 months and ending on June 30, 2009.





Principles of Consolidation:  The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fortune Industries, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  Nor-Cote International, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary until November 30, 2008, contained foreign subsidiaries from the United Kingdom, China, and Singapore, which have been eliminated in consolidation at the Nor-Cote subsidiary level (Collectively, “Nor-Cote”).  Refer to Note 2 for further details.   All significant inter-company accounts and transactions of the Company have been eliminated.





Foreign Currency Translation:  Assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiaries of Nor-Cote were translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect during the three months ending November 30, 2008. Translation adjustments that arose from translating the subsidiaries’ financial statements from local currency to U.S. dollars were accumulated and presented, net of tax, as a separate component of shareholders’ equity (deficit).





Comprehensive Income:Comprehensive income refers to the change in an entity’s equity during a period resulting from all transactions and events other than capital contributed by and distributions to the entity’s owners. For the Company, comprehensive income is equal to net income plus the change in foreign currency translation adjustments. The Company reports comprehensive income in the Consolidated Statement of Shareholders’ Equity (Deficit).





Estimates:  Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used.





Revenue and Cost Recognition: In the Business Solutions segment, Professional Staff Management, Inc. and related entities (“PSM”); CSM, Inc. and subsidiaries (“CSM”); Precision Employee Management, LLC (“PEM”); and Employer Solutions Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (“ESG”) bill clients under their Professional Services Agreement as licensed Professional Employer Organizations (collectively the “PEOs”), which includes each worksite employee’s gross wages, plus additional charges for employment related taxes, benefits, workers’ compensation insurance, administrative and record keeping, as well as safety, human resources, and regulatory compliance consultation.  Most wages, taxes and insurance coverage are provided under the PEOs’ federal, state, and local or vendor identification numbers.  No identification or recognition is given to the client when these monies are remitted or calculations are reported.  Most calculations or amounts the PEOs owe the government and its employment insurance vendors are based on the experience levels and activity of the PEOs with no consideration to client detail.  The PEOs bill the client their worksite employees’ gross wages plus an overall service fee that includes components of employment related taxes, employment benefits insurance, and administration of those items.  The component of the service fee related to administration varies, in part, according to the size of the client, the amount and frequency of payroll payments and the method of delivery of such payments.  The component of the service fee related to health, workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance is based, in part, on the client’s historical claims experience.  Charges by the PEOs are invoiced along with each periodic payroll delivered to the client.


32





The PEOs report revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 605-45, “Revenue Recognition - Principal Agent Considerations.” The PEOs report revenue on a gross basis for the total amount billed to clients for service fees, which includes health and welfare benefit plan fees, workers’ compensation insurance, unemployment insurance fees, and employment-related taxes.  The PEOs report revenue on a gross basis for such fees because the PEOs are the primary obligor and deemed to be the principal in these transactions under ASC 605-45.  The PEOs report revenue on a net basis for the amount billed to clients for worksite employee salaries and wages and outside benefit plans.  This accounting policy of reporting revenue net as an agent versus gross as a principal has no effect on gross profit, operating income, or net income.





The PEOs account for their revenue using the accrual method of accounting.  Under the accrual method of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which the worksite employee performs work. The PEOs accrue unbilled receivables for service fees, health and welfare benefits plan fees, workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance fees relating to work performed by worksite employees but unpaid at the end of each period.  In addition, the related costs of services are accrued as a liability for the same period.  Subsequent to the end of each period, such costs are paid and the related service fees are billed.





Consistent with their revenue recognition policy, the PEOs’ direct costs do not include the payroll cost of its worksite employees.  The Company’s direct costs associated with its revenue generating activities are comprised of all other costs related to its worksite employees, such as the employer portion of payroll-related taxes, employee benefit plan premiums and workers’ compensation insurance costs.





Cash and Equivalents: Cash and equivalents may include money market fund shares, bank time deposits, certificates of deposits, and other instruments with original maturities of three months or less.





Restricted Cash: Restricted cash includes certificates of deposits for letters of credit issued to collateralize its obligations under its workers’ compensation program and certain general insurance coverage related to the Company’s Business Solutions segment. At June 30, 2011, the Company had $2.4 million in total restricted cash.  Of this, $2.1 million is restricted for the Company’s workers’ compensation program in accordance with terms of its insurance carrier agreement, and the remainder is restricted for certain standby letters of credits in accordance with various state regulations.





Accounts Receivable:  Accounts receivable is stated at the amount billable to customers.  The Company provides allowances for estimated doubtful accounts and for returns and sales allowances, based on the Company’s assessment of known delinquent accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence of the collectability and the aging of the accounts receivable. Management currently considers accounts receivable to be fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts currently is provided as of June 30, 2011.  Management had established an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.02 million as of June 30, 2010.  Delinquent receivables that are deemed uncollectible are written off based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the customer. The Company’s policy is not to accrue interest on past due trade receivables.





Property, Plant, Equipment, and Depreciation: Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost and include expenditures for new additions and those which substantially increase the useful lives of existing assets. Depreciation is computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life. Depreciable lives range from 3 to 10 years.





Expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. The cost of property or equipment retired or otherwise disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts in the period of disposal with the resulting gain or loss reflected in earnings or in the cost of the replacement asset.





Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets:  The Company accounts for goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets under FASB ASC 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other.” Under ASC 350, goodwill and other intangible assets with indeterminate lives are assessed for impairment at least annually and more often as triggering events occur. In making this assessment, management relies on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, and transactions and market place data. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis of both goodwill and other intangible assets impairment. Since management’s judgment is involved in performing goodwill and other intangible assets valuation analyses, there is risk that the carrying value of the goodwill and other intangible assets may be overstated or understated.





The Company has not recognized impairment charges in the past 3 fiscal years.  Triggering events would include a) violation of non-compete agreements with certain terminated employees within the Business Solutions segment, b) a substantial change in the customer mix and number of worksite employees within the Business Solutions segment, c) losses incurred within certain operating units, d) significant downsizing of personnel and operations, or  e) restructuring of management.





The Company has elected to perform the annual impairment assessment of recorded goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets as required by ASC 350 as of the end of fiscal first quarter of 2012. The required annual impairment assessment may result in future periodic write-downs.


33





Long-lived Assets: The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets, primarily property, plant and equipment and other definite-lived intangible assets, whenever significant events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of these assets may be impaired. If such indicators of impairment are present, the Company determines whether the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows attributable to the assets in question is less than their carrying value. If less, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the assets over their respective fair values. The fair value of the asset then becomes the asset’s new carrying value, which the Company depreciates over the remaining estimated useful life of the asset. Fair value is determined by discounted future cash flows, appraisals or other methods.





Stock-based Compensation:The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, “Stock Compensation” using the modified prospective method.  The Company recognizes compensation expense for awards of equity instruments to employees based on the grant-date fair value of those awards.





Earnings per Common Share:Income per common share has been computed in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” basic income per common share is computed based on net income applicable to common stock divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income per common share is computed based on net income applicable to common stock divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period after giving effect to securities considered to be dilutive common stock equivalents.





Income Taxes:  The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates. Changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities are included as a component of income tax expense. Prior to fiscal year end 2010 the Company filed separate United States, United Kingdom, Mexico and Singapore income tax returns. Effective with the 2010 fiscal year, the Company will only be required to file a United States tax return.





Advertising Costs: Advertising costs including marketing, advertising, publicity, promotion and other distribution costs, are expensed as incurred and totaled $114, $99 and $213, for the fiscal periods ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.





Warrants: The Company has issued and anticipates issuing warrants along with debt and equity instruments to third parties. These issuances are recorded based on the fair value of these instruments. Warrants and equity instruments require valuation using the Black-Scholes model and other techniques, as applicable, and consideration of various assumptions including but not limited to the volatility of the Company’s stock, risk free rates and the expected lives of these equity instruments.





In conjunction with the disposition of assets (see Note 2), the Company issued 2,200,000 warrants to the Chairman of the Board. The warrants have a ten-year term and an exercise price of $0.40 per share during the year ended June 30, 2009. Upon utilization of the valuation models described above, it was determined that the warrants had no value at the time of issuance.





The Company also has 286,363 warrants outstanding in conjunction with convertible debt issued prior to the August 31, 2008 fiscal year end.





Debt and equity issuances may have features which allow the holder to convert at beneficial conversion terms, which are then measured using similar valuation techniques and amortized to interest expense in the case of debt or recorded as dividends in the case of preferred stock instruments.  No issuances have beneficial conversion terms for any of the fiscal periods ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009.





Workers’ Compensation: The Company’s PSM and CSM subsidiaries maintain partially self-funded workers’ compensation insurance programs. Under the insurance policies established at each company, PSM and CSM’s deductible liability is limited to $250 per incident, with an aggregate liability limit of approximately $2,000.  Under the insurance policy established at ESG, the deductible liability is limited to $350 per incident, with no aggregate annual liability limit.





New Accounting Pronouncements:




In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other.” This ASU is to addresses when to perform step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For public entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2010.




In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, “Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations.” This ASU addresses diversity in practice about the interpretation of the pro forma revenue and earnings disclosure requirements for business combinations. This ASU is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010.




In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.” This ASU provides additional guidance or clarification to help creditors determine whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. For public entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. As a result of applying these amendments, an entity may identify receivables that are newly considered impaired, and should measure impairment on those receivables prospectively for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. Additional disclosures are also required under this ASU. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU.


34




In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards.” The amendments in this ASU explain how to measure fair value. They do not require additional fair value measurements and are not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.




In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” The objective of this ASU is to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. Under this ASU, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. An entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. An entity is required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.





Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after June 30, 2011, are not expected to have a significant effect on the company’s consolidated financial statements.





NOTE 2 – DISPOSITION OF ASSETS AND PRO FORMA RESULTS





On December 11, 2008, the Company completed a transaction with an effective date as of November 30, 2008 to sell all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the following wholly-owned subsidiaries: James H Drew Corporation; Nor-Cote International, Inc.; Fortune Wireless, Inc.; and Commercial Solutions, Inc.  The subsidiaries were sold to related party entities owned by the Company’s two majority shareholders, the Chairman of the Board of Directors (“Chairman”) and the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”).  The shares were sold in exchange for a $10.0 million reduction in the outstanding balance of the Term Loan Note due to the Chairman, and a three year Promissory Note receivable in the amount of $3.24 million with a maturity date of November 30, 2011.  The Promissory Note bears interest at the prime rate plus 1% and is interest-only for the first twelve months, with $50,000 and $100,000 monthly principal payments due beginning December 30, 2009 and December 30, 2010, respectively.  The unpaid balance at maturity is due in a lump sum payment.





Effective June 30, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with the Chairman to amend the terms of the Promissory Note receivable. In exchange for offsetting $740 of accrued dividends due and owing to the Chairman against the outstanding principal balance of the Promissory Note receivable the Company extended the maturity date of the Note to June 30, 2012 and reset the payment schedule to interest only for the first twelve months beginning July 1, 2009, with $50,000 and $100,000 monthly principal payments due beginning July 1, 2010 and July 1 2011, respectively. All other terms of the original note remained unchanged.





As part of the terms of the sales transaction, the Chairman received 217,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock as consideration for cancellation of the Term Note Balance of $21.7 million.  In addition, the Company converted 79,180 shares of Series B Preferred Stock previously issued to and held by the Chairman to 79,180 shares of Series C Preferred Stock.  The Series C Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.10 per share is non-redeemable, non-voting cumulative preferred and bears annual dividends of $5 per share in years one and two subsequent to the transaction date, $6 per share in year three subsequent to the transaction date and $7 per share thereafter.  The dividends will be paid on a pro-rata basis monthly.  Additionally, as part of the terms of the sales transaction, the Company issued the Chairman 2,200,000 warrants with a ten-year term and an exercise price of $0 .40 per share.





On September 25, 2009, the Company reached agreement with the Chairman to amend the dividend rates on the Series C Preferred Stock with an effective date of July 1, 2009. From the effective date forward the Series C Preferred Stock will bear annual dividends of $2 per share in years one and two subsequent to the effective date, $5 per share in year three subsequent to the effective date, $6 per share in year four subsequent to the effective date and $7 per share thereafter. All other terms of the Series C Preferred Shares remained unchanged.





Effective December 31, 2010, the Company revised its estimate regarding the collectability of its $2.5 million term note receivable with a related party.  Based on this change in estimate, the Company reclassified the note receivable as a reduction to its outstanding preferred stock as prescribed by a security agreement between the Company and the related party.  Under terms of this security agreement and in the event of default of the term note receivable, the Company obtains the right to equal value of the preferred stock as defined including but not limited to title, interest and dividends.  The Company has no intention to convert the note receivable in the foreseeable future.


35





At the request of the independent Directors, the Company received a fairness opinion from an independent financial advisor concluding that the consideration received by the Company in connection with the transaction is fair to the Company’s shareholders as a group from a financial point of view.





The transaction was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on December 10, 2008.

Term Notes





Effective May 29, 2009, the Company entered into a $250 term loan note with a bank. The term loan note matured on October 28, 2009 and incurred interest at the Prime Rate plus 2.0%. The note was collateralized by certain assets of the Company’s majority shareholders. The loan required the Company to maintain a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1.0 among other covenants. In January 2010, the Company was held harmless on the note and was released from the obligation by the bank.  The amount forgiven of $250 is included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity as additional paid-in capital.





In May 2010, the Company entered into a $1.0 million term note with a bank. The term loan matures on April 30, 2012 and bears interest at the fixed rate of 4.5%. The note is amortized equally over a 24 month period and therefore requires monthly principal payments of $42. The note is collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Company and is personally guaranteed by the Company’s chairman and majority shareholder. The loan requires the Company to maintain a minimum cash flow coverage ratio of 1.2 to 1.0 and a minimum current ratio of 1.0 at June 30, 2010, escalating to 1.15 and 1.20 at December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2011, respectively.





Line of Credit





Effective April 15, 2011, the Company entered into a $2.0 million revolving line of credit agreement with a bank.  The line of credit matures May 15, 2012 and bears interest at the Prime Rate plus 0.75%.  The note is collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Company.  The loan requires the Company to maintain a maximum total senior liabilities to adjusted tangible capital ratio of 1.5 to 1.0 and a minimum operating cash flow to fixed charge ratio of 1.25 to 1.0.  There were no draws on the line of credit at June 30, 2011.





NOTE 6 - RETIREMENT PLAN





The Company maintains a profit-sharing plan that covers all employees who meet the eligibility requirements set forth in the plan. Company contributions are made at management’s discretion and are allocated based upon each participant’s eligible compensation.  The plan includes a 401(k) savings plan whereby employees can contribute and defer taxes on compensation contributed to the plan.  The Company is not required to contribute to the plan but may make a discretionary contribution.

ASC 740 requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, at June 30, 2011, the Company had federal tax operating loss based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  After consideration of the evidence, both positive and negative, management has determined that a $6,248 and $7,019 valuation allowance at June 30, 2011 and 2010 is necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. The change in the valuation allowance is $771 and $577 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $12.3 and $13.9 million at June 30, 2011 and 2010 which expire between 2021 and 2030. The state tax operating loss carryforwards are approximately $9.7 million and $11.3 million as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The difference between federal and state net operating loss carryforwards represents a change in business venue in a prior period.





The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company made no provisions for interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The tax years 2007 through 2010 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States.

The segment results in Note 18 for the ten months ending June 30, 2009 reflect the reclassification of the discontinued operations.  Revenues from discontinued operations were $0, $30 and $992 for the years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and ten months ended June 30, 2009.

The note receivable represents a loan with a business owned by the Company’s majority shareholders in connection with the disposition of the assets.  Refer to Note 2 for further details.  The loan expires on November 30, 2011 and bears interest at the Prime Rate plus 1%.  Beginning on December 30, 2008 and each month thereafter, interest will be paid.  Commencing on December 30, 2009, monthly principal payments of $50 are due and commencing on December 30, 2010, monthly principal payments of $100 are due. Effective June 30, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with the Chairman/majority shareholders to amend the terms of the Promissory Note receivable. In exchange for offsetting $740 of accrued dividends due and owing to the Chairman against the outstanding principal balance of the Promissory Note receivable the Company extended the maturity date of the Note to June 30, 2012 and reset the payment schedule to interest only for the first twelve months beginning July 1, 2009, with $50,000 and $100,000 monthly principal payments due beginning July 1, 2010 and July 1 2011, respectively.





Effective December 31, 2010, the Company revised its estimate regarding the collectability of the term note receivable.  Based on this change in estimate, the Company reclassified the note receivable as a reduction to its outstanding preferred stock as prescribed by a Security Agreement between the Company and the related party.  Under terms of this Security Agreement and in the event of default of the term note receivable, the Company obtains the right to equal value of the preferred stock as defined including but not limited to title, interest and dividends.  As of June 30, 2011 and the date of this filing, the Company has no intention to convert the note receivable in the foreseeable future.

(1)
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company’s CSM and PSM subsidiaries performed $573, $720 and $461 worth of services for businesses owned by the Company’s majority shareholder.


(2)
The Company’s PSM and ESG subsidiaries held leases for office buildings in Richmond, Indiana, Provo, Utah and Tucson, Arizona from companies owned by former officers of the Company.


(3)
The Company maintained operating lease agreements for the rental of a building with a limited liability company owned by the Company’s majority shareholder.   The leases were terminated on November 30, 2008.


(4)
The Company entered into various unsecured line of credit agreements with its majority shareholder.  Interest expense recognized on these agreements amounted to $0, $0 and $7 for the fiscal periods ending June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. There were no outstanding credit agreements in place as of June 30, 2011.


(5)
Guarantee fees approved by the Company’s Board of Directors were paid during the fiscal period ending June 30, 2009 to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in the amount of $100.  The fees were associated with the Chief Executive Officer providing personal guarantees for a substantial portion of the Company’s debt obligations.  The Guarantee fees were discontinued during the 2009 fiscal year and therefore there were no such fees incurred or paid in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 or 2010.


(6)
The Company’s discontinued electronics integration operations sold inventory as part of its liquidation of the discontinued operations to a company owned by the majority shareholder.


(7)
The Company maintains an operating lease agreement for the rental of a building with a limited liability company owned by the Company’s majority shareholder.   The lease agreement runs through August 2013. The agreement provides for a monthly base rent of $5 per month.  The base rent shall be adjusted annually to fair market value.   Rent and related expenses of $90, $120 and $40 were recognized for the fiscal periods ending June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.





Other Related Party Transactions





In conjunction with the acquisition of PEM, the Company’s majority shareholder individually entered into an agreement in which the sellers may put 258,824 shares issued at closing to the majority shareholders during the thirty (30) day period that began on February 1, 2009.





On September 25, 2009, the Board of Directors approved the Chairman’s request to utilize approximately $8.15 million of the Company’s capital loss carryforward for individual tax purposes related to the Chairman’s personal loss on indebtedness associated with the sales transaction as described in Note 2.  The transaction had no effect on assets, liabilities, shareholders’ equity and net income as the Company had established that the capital loss carryforwards presented no material value to the Company and therefore have not been included in the calculation of deferred tax assets.


45





NOTE 14 - SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES





Significant estimates have been made by management with respect to the realizability of the Company’s deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from these estimates making it reasonably possible that a change in these estimates could occur in the near term. The net decrease in the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets was $771, $577, and $904 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The valuation allowance relates primarily to net operating loss carryforwards, tax credit carryforwards, and net deductible temporary differences. The Company evaluates a variety of factors in determining the amount of the deferred income tax assets to be recognized pursuant to ASC 740, including the number of years the Company’s operating loss and tax credits can be carried forward, the existence of taxable temporary differences, the Company’s earnings history and the Company’s near-term earnings expectations. At June 30, 2011, management believes it is more likely than not that a significant portion of net deferred income tax assets will not be realized in the next few years.





Company subsidiaries in the Business Solutions Segment establish reserves for workers’ compensation claims by estimating unpaid losses and loss expenses with respect to claims occurring on or before the balance sheet date. Such estimates include provisions for reported claims and provisions for incurred-but-not-reported claims. The estimates of unpaid losses are established and continually reviewed by the Company using a variety of statistical and analytical techniques. Reserve estimates reflect past claims experience, currently known factors and trends and estimates of future claim trends.





Irrespective of the techniques used, estimation error is inherent in the process of establishing unpaid loss reserves as of any given date. Uncertainties in projecting ultimate claim amounts are enhanced by the time lag between when a claim actually occurs and when it becomes reported and settled. These policies contain aggregate limits of indemnification, so the risks of additional claims under the contracts are limited. For the reasons previously discussed, the amounts of the reserves established as of a given balance sheet date and the subsequent actual losses and loss expenses paid will likely differ, perhaps by a material amount. There is no guaranty that the recorded reserves will prove to be adequate. Changes in unpaid loss estimates arising from the review process are charged or credited, as applicable, to earnings in the period of the change.





NOTE 15 - CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK





The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with several regional and national banking institutions. At times, such amounts may be in excess of the FDIC insured limit. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited.





NOTE 16 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES





Litigation





The Company is involved in various legal proceedings. The Company believes it has adequate legal defenses with respect to each of the suits and intends to vigorously defend against these actions. However, it is reasonably possible that these cases could result in outcomes unfavorable to the Company. While the Company currently believes that the amounts of the ultimate potential loss would not be material to the Company’s financial position, the outcome of litigation is inherently difficult to predict. In the event of an adverse outcome, the ultimate potential loss could have a material effect on the financial position or reported results of operations in a particular quarter.





Regulatory Matters





The Company’s employer and health care operations are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws related to employment, taxes and benefit plan matters. Generally, these rules affect all companies in the United States. However, the rules that govern professional employer organizations (“PEO”) constitute an evolving area due to uncertainties resulting from the non-traditional employment relationship among the PEO, the client and the client employees. Many federal and state laws relating to tax and employment matters were enacted before the widespread existence of PEO’s and do not specifically address the obligations and responsibilities of these PEO relationships. If the Internal Revenue Service concludes that PEO’s are not “employers” of certain client employees for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, its cafeteria plan may lose its favorable tax status, the Company may no longer be able to assume the client’s federal employment tax withholding obligations, and certain defined employee benefit plans maintained by the Company may be denied the ability to deliver benefits on a tax-favored basis as intended.





46





Restricted Cash





Certain states and vendors require the Company to post letters of credit to ensure payment of taxes or payments to the Company’s vendors under workers’ compensation contracts and to guarantee performance under the Company’s contracts. Such letters of credit are generally issued by a bank or similar financial institution. The letter of credit commits the issuer to pay specified amounts to the holder of the letter of credit if the holder demonstrates that the Company has failed to perform specified actions. If this were to occur, the Company would be required to reimburse the issuer of the letter of credit. Depending on the circumstances of such a reimbursement, the Company may also have to record a charge to earnings for the reimbursement. The Company does not believe that it is likely that any claims will be made under a letter of credit in the foreseeable future.  As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company had approximately $2.4 and $2.8 million in restricted cash primarily to secure obligations under its workers compensation contracts in the Business Solutions segment.

None





Item 9A. Controls and Procedures





Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President/Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Based on the foregoing, our President/Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2011.





Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting


Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the President/Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2011.  In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.





Based upon this assessment, we determined that our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2011 was effective.





This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management's report.





Changes in Internal Controls





There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.





Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls





Our management, including our President/Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP COMPLIANCE





Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s officers and Directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities, to file an initial report of ownership of such securities on Form 3 and changes in ownership of such securities on Form 4 or 5 with the SEC. Such officers, Directors and ten percent shareholders are required to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file with the SEC.





Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it, or written representations from certain such reporting persons that no Form 5’s were required for such persons, the Company believes that, for the fiscal period ended June 30, 2011, its officers, Directors and ten percent shareholders complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements.

In addition, we retain discretion to vote proxies on matters of which we are not properly notified at our principal executive offices on or before the close of business on January 2, 2012, and also retain that authority under certain other circumstances.

THE AUDIT COMMITTEE





The Company maintains an Audit Committee that is currently composed of two members, David A. Berry and Richard F. Suja, neither of whom is an officer or employee of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company.  Further, neither Mr. Berry nor Mr. Suja have any other material relationship with the Company that would interfere with their exercise of independent judgment. The Board has determined that Mr. Berry and Mr. Suja are "independent" and "financially sophisticated" as such terms are defined by the NYSE Amex.





The Company’s Board has determined that David Berry qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined by Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K adopted pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  Mr. Berry has years of experience in reading, interpreting and analyzing financial statements in his roles as more fully described in the above biographical information.

Item 11. Executive Compensation





COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS





Overview





The Company’s Board of Directors believes that the success of the Company is largely based on the performance and skills of its executive officers. Therefore, when determining executive compensation, the Company’s Board of Directors focuses on the concepts of rewarding executive performance and retaining and attracting top executive talent.  The Company’s principal objectives with respect to executive compensation are to encourage strong executive leadership and on providing value to the Company’s stockholders.





The Company, due to its status as a “Controlled Company’ under the regulations of the NYSE Amex, is not required to have separate nominating or compensation committees and does not have such committees. The Company’s full Board of Directors regularly meets to analyze whether the compensation for the Company’s executive officers is aligned with the Company’s objectives for executive compensation. In the event an executive officer also services as a director, that individual is excluded from discussions regarding compensation.  Currently, the Company’s only executive officers are its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.  P. Andy Rayl resigned as Chief Operating Officer of the Company effective April 1, 2011.





Determination of Compensation





The Company’s Board of Directors relies on its independent judgment in determining the compensation to be paid to the Company’s executive officers. In reaching its decisions with respect to executive compensation, the Board of Directors evaluates the executive’s past performance, the executive’s inherent value to the Company and takes into account the compensation paid to executive officers by comparable companies. The Board of Directors’ goal is to align executive officer compensation with the value that those executive officers provide to the Company.





Elements of Compensation





The Company’s compensation program consists of base salary, cash bonuses, discretionary stock awards and other benefits.





The base salary for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer is determined based upon the responsibilities of the executive officer, the executive officer’s general contributions to the Company, and the skills, expertise and leadership qualities that the executive officer brings to the Company. As noted above, the base salaries for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer are reviewed on a regular basis.





The Company’s Board of Directors maintains the discretion to pay cash bonuses to the Company’s named executive officers based on their evaluation of the executive officer. However, the Company prefers to pay executive compensation through an annual salary rather than through bonuses.





The Company’s Board of Directors also maintains the discretion to award stock to executive officers based upon the Company’s compensation strategy. Although the Company has made stock awards to executive officers in the past and may do so in the future, because the Company prefers to pay executive officers through salary, such stock awards are not common.





Chief Executive Officer Compensation





The Company’s Board of Directors considered a variety of factors when determining the compensation to be paid to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Ms. Mayberry was paid $200,000 in salary during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 pursuant to her employment contract.  The Board of Directors based Ms. Mayberry’s compensation on her record of performance for other companies and for the skills and expertise that she offered the Company. The Board of Directors also considered salaries paid to comparable executives by peer companies.





Chief Financial Officer Compensation





Randy Butler was paid $130,000 in salary during the fiscal period ended June 30, 2011 pursuant to his employment agreement.   The Board of Directors based Mr. Butler’s compensation on his record of performance for other companies and for the skills and expertise that he offered the Company. The Board of Directors also considered salaries paid to comparable executives by peer companies.


52





Chief Operating Officer Compensation





P. Andy Rayl was paid $99,000 in salary during the fiscal period ended June 30, 2011. The Board of Directors based Mr. Rayl’s compensation on his record of performance for other companies and for the skills and expertise that he offered the Company. The Board of Directors also considered salaries paid to comparable executives by peer companies.  Mr. Rayl resigned as Chief Operating Officer of the Company effective April 1, 2011.





Compensation for Named Executives





The following table sets forth certain information concerning the compensation paid or accrued by the Company for services rendered during the Company’s past three fiscal periods ended June 30, 2011, 2010 by our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Operating Officer.

CHANGES IN CONTROL





The Company knows of no arrangements the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change of control.





Our majority shareholder has pledged his ownership holdings in the Company up as collateral on certain personal debt obligations.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence





The Company holds various operating leases for the rental of properties with Fisbeck-Fortune Development, LLC, a Company owned by its majority shareholder, the Chairman of the Board. The Company pays certain expenses including taxes, assessments, maintenance and repairs under terms of the leases. Rent expense of $90 was recognized in fiscal period 2011 under these agreements.





Effective November 30, 2008, the Company approved a transaction to sell all of the outstanding shares of common stock of its wholly owned subsidiaries, James H Drew Corporation, Nor-Cote International, Inc., Fortune Wireless, Inc. and Commercial Solutions, Inc. The subsidiaries were sold to related party entities owned by the Company’s majority shareholders in exchange for a $10,000,000 reduction in the outstanding balance of the term loan note due to the majority shareholder and a three year Term Loan Receivable in the amount of $3,500,000.  The Term Loan Receivable bears interest at prime plus 1% and is interest only for the first twelve months, with $50,000 and $100,000 monthly principal payments due in years two and three, respectively. The unpaid balance at maturity is due in lump sum payment.





Effective December 31, 2010, the Company revised its estimate regarding the collectability of the term note receivable.  Based on this change in estimate, the Company reclassified the note receivable as a reduction to its outstanding preferred stock as prescribed by a Security Agreement between the Company and the related party.  Under terms of this Security Agreement and in the event of default of the term note receivable, the Company obtains the right to equal value of the preferred stock as defined including but not limited to title, interest and dividends.  As of June 30, 2011 and the date of this filing, the Company has no intention to convert the note receivable in the foreseeable future.




56





As part of the terms of the sales transaction, the majority shareholder received 217,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock in consideration for cancellation of the outstanding principal balance of the term note payable of $21.7 million. In addition, the Company converted 79,180 shares of Series B Preferred Stock previously issued to and held by the majority shareholder to 79,180 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The Series C Preferred Stock is non-redeemable, non-voting cumulative preferred and bears annual dividends of $5 per share in years one and two subsequent to the transaction date, $6 per share in year three subsequent to the transaction date and $7 per share thereafter. Effective July 1, 2009, the Series C Preferred Stock annual dividend was modified to $2 per share in the years ending June 30, 2010 and 2011, $5 per share in the year ending June 30, 2012, $6 per share in the year ending June 30, 2013 and $7 per share thereafter.





As part of the terms of the sales transaction, the Company issued the majority shareholder 2.2 million warrants with a ten year term and an exercise price of $ .40 per share.

The Chief Financial Officer will determine whether such services are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will be informed on a timely basis of any such services rendered by the independent auditor. Requests or applications to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by both the independent auditor and the Chief Financial Officer, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the request or application is consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commission‘s (“SEC’s”) rules on auditor independence. The Chief Financial Officer will immediately report any breach of this policy that comes to the attention of the Chief Financial Officer or any member of management to the chairman of the Audit Committee.
