1.organization and nature of business and uncertainty

 

Horne International, Inc. (the “Company” or “we”, “us”, “our” or similar terms), headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia, is an engineering services company focused on provision of integrated, systems approach based solutions to the energy and environmental sectors. The Company’s solutions are sustainable, agile, and provide immediate as well as long term results. The Company’s service and product offerings encompass engineering, environment, and energy. We provide products and services to both commercial customers and to the United States Government.

 

Discontinued operations include the results of our Spectrum subsidiary that we decided to close in June 2008.

 

The Company’s independent registered public accountants stated in their report on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2011, that the Company has had recurring operating losses that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. For the three months ended March 25, 2012, the Company incurred a loss from continuing operations of approximately $336,000 and had a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $1,038 million as of that date. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recovery and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue as a going concern.

 

The Company is dependent upon available cash and operating cash flow in addition to financing cash inflows to meet its capital needs. The Company is considering all strategic options to improve its liquidity and provide it with working capital to fund its continuing business operations which include equity offerings, assets sales or debt financing as alternatives to improve its cash requirements.

 

During 2008, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Darryl K. Horne, the Company’s President and Chairman. The loan permitted the Company to borrow up to $525,000 at 8 percent interest. As of March 25, 2012, the principal outstanding balance is $198,506 and the interest balance is $85,054.

 

In February 2011, the Company entered into a financing agreement with United Capital Funding Corporation under which the Company is able to factor certain eligible accounts receivable.  The agreement calls for a minimum fee of 0.425% of the invoice amount for the first five day period and an additional 0.425% for each five day period thereafter until the invoice is paid.  The Company is able to receive 80% of any invoices factored to the lender. As of March 25, 2012, there was no outstanding balance.

 

In March 2011, the Company entered into receivables financing agreement with Evan Auld-Susott, the company’s Chief Executive Officer, as agent of the Susott Family Limited Partnership (FLP). Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Auld-Susott agreed to finance specific accounts receivable under a line of credit for up to $500,000 at an interest rate of 13 percent. As of March 25, 2012, the outstanding balance was $190,000. The loan is not convertible into any Company securities.

 

On December 29, 2011, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with Mr. Trevor Foster pursuant to which the Company borrowed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) from Mr. Foster in exchange for a promissory note in the principal amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). The note is payable on a quarterly basis and fully due and payable December 29, 2013. The Loan Agreement and Promissory Note provide for interest at a rate of 7% per annum on the outstanding principal, payable quarterly beginning March 31, 2012. The note is unsecured. The terms of the note have been amended to payable in cash or may be converted into common stock by the lender at a per share price equal to $.10 per share.

 

On December 29, 2011, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with Mr. Darryl K. Horne, President and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, pursuant to which the Company borrowed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) from Mr. Horne in exchange for a promissory note in the principal amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000). The note is payable on a quarterly basis and fully due and payable December 29, 2013. The Loan Agreement and Promissory Note provide for interest at a rate of 7% per annum on the outstanding principal, payable quarterly beginning March 31, 2012. The note is unsecured. The terms of the note have been amended to payable in cash or may be converted into common stock by the lender at a per share price equal to $.10 per share.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

On January 3, 2012, 91 Hill, LLC, an entity affiliated with Darryl K. Horne, the Company’s President and Chairman of the Board and Evan Auld-Susott, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, exercised 500,000 of its stock options at the exercise price of $0.10 per share, and received 500,000 shares of the Company common stock.

 

On March 6, 2012, the Company notified Intelligent Decisions, Inc. of the termination of the Stock Option Agreement and Restricted Stock Agreement between the Company and Intelligent Decisions. The Company cancelled 4,166,667 options associated with the agreements. As of March 25, 2012, the company cancelled the remaining 4,166,667 options of stock associated with the agreement. This action has resulted in the possibility of a contingent liability and pending litigation.

 

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements of Horne International, Inc. include accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three-month periods ended March 25, 2012, and March 27, 2011 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the periods presented.

 

The results of operations for the three month period ended March 25, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2011.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s two principal methods of revenue recognition are monthly fixed price contracts in which revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period and time and materials contracts in which revenue is recognized as costs are incurred. On occasion, the Company may recognize revenue on a percentage of completion basis.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability method. This approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enacted date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

The Company currently has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $55 million at March 25, 2012. The Company has not recorded any related federal tax benefit in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, due to the possibility that the net operating loss carry forward may not be utilized, for various reasons, including the potential that the Company might not have sufficient profits to use the carry forward or the carry forward may be limited as a result of changes in the Company’s equity ownership. The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification topic 740, subtopic 10 on January 1, 2007, which requires financial statement benefits to be recognized for positions taken for tax return purposes when it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained. There has been no change in our financial position and results of operation due to the adoption of this standard.

Loss Per Share

 

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is computed in a manner consistent with that of basic loss per share while giving effect to the impact of common stock equivalents. The Company’s common stock equivalents consist of employee, director, and consultant stock options to purchase common stock. Common stock equivalents of 3,084,993 and 10,593,333 were not included in the computation of diluted income (loss) per share for the three months ended March 25, 2012, and March 27, 2011, respectively, as the inclusion of these common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

The fair values of stock option awards are determined using the Black-Sholes option pricing model. The compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company, beginning in 2006, has included a vesting period for most options granted. See Note 7 for a detailed discussion of the Company’s stock option plan. The Company accounts for stock incentive plans by measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based awards on estimated fair values, net of estimated and actual forfeitures, on a straight line basis over the period during which the employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award.

 

Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of those instruments. The carrying amount and fair market value of the Company’s short-term investments are the same since short-term investments are recorded at fair value. Debt is recorded at the cash settlement value of the underlying notes and is not revalued.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management does not believe that any recent accounting pronouncements will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Evan Auld-Susott Notes

In March 2011, the Company entered into a receivables financing agreement with Evan Auld-Susott, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, as agent of the Susott Family Limited Partnership. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Auld-Susott agreed to finance specific accounts receivable under a line of credit for up to $500,000 at an interest rate of 13 percent. The Company has taken draws of no draws during the period ending March 25, 2012. The outstanding balance and accrued interest was $190,000 and $12,006, respectively, as of March 25, 2012. The loan is not convertible into any Company securities.

 

Other Borrowings

On December 29, 2011, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with Mr. Trevor Foster pursuant to which the Company borrowed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) from Mr. Foster in exchange for a promissory note in the principal amount of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000). The note is payable on a quarterly basis and fully due and payable December 29, 2013. The Loan Agreement and Promissory Note provide for interest at a rate of 7% per annum on the outstanding principal, payable quarterly beginning March 31, 2012. The note is unsecured. The note has been amended to be payable, at the option of the lender, by conversion into common stock at a per share price equal to $.10 per share. Mr. Foster has agreed to defer the quarterly payment due on March 25, 2012.

 

The convertible notes contained a "beneficial conversion" feature that required separate recognition, at issuance, of a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of the feature as additional paid-in-capital. This "discount" is being amortized using the effective interest method through a charge to interest expense over the term of the notes. As of March 27, 2012, the notes were convertible into 1,500,000 shares of common stock.

 

6.Lines of Credit

 

In April 2011, the Company entered into a financing agreement with United Capital Funding under which the Company is able to factor certain eligible accounts receivable. The Company is able to receive 85 percent of any invoices factored to the lender. The agreement calls for a minimum factoring fee of .0425 for the first five days and .0425 for each additional five day period.

 

7.STock Option plan

 

On March 22, 2010, the Company entered into a strategic partnership with Intelligent Decisions, Inc. (“Intelligent”). Intelligent is an information technology services company headquartered in Ashburn, Virginia, servicing both commercial and government customers. The agreement between the parties provides for Intelligent to provide business support services to the Company. On March 6, 2012, the Company notified Intelligent Decisions, Inc. of the termination of the Stock Option Agreement and Restricted Stock Agreement between the Company and Intelligent Decisions and cancelled 4,166,667 options. As of March 25, 2012, the company has cancelled the remaining 4,166,667 options associated with the agreements. This has resulted in the possibility of a contingent liability and legal litigation.

 

On January 3, 2012, 91 Hill, LLC, an entity affiliated with Darryl K. Horne, the Company’s President and Chairman of the Board and Evan Auld-Susott, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, exercised 500,000 of its stock options at the exercise price of $0.10 per share, and received 500,000 shares of the Company common stock.

 

The Company has a stock option plan available to eligible employees, non-employee directors, consultants and advisors to acquire proprietary interests in the Company by providing eligible persons an additional incentive to promote the success of the Company as deemed appropriate by senior management. This is accomplished by providing for the granting of Non-Statutory Stock Options to employees, non-employee directors, consultants and advisors. During the first three months of 2012, the Company did not make any option grants. During the first three months of 2011, the Company granted 225,000 shares of stock options to three members of the Advisory Board. These stock options vest over time and under certain conditions.

ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND analysis of financial condition and results of operations

 

The following discussion provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and an understanding of the Company’s operations and financial condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as well as our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2011.

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, activity levels, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, activity levels, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “could”, “expect”, “estimate”, “may”, “potential”, “will”, and “would”, or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss our future expectations, contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial position, or state other forward-looking information. We believe it is important to communicate our future expectations to our investors. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to predict or control accurately. The factors listed in the section captioned “Risk Factors,” contained in our Annual Report of Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2011, as well as any cautionary language in this Form 10-Q, provide examples of risks, uncertainties, and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements.

 

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, activity levels, performance or achievements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. Subsequent events and developments may cause our views to change. While we may elect to update the forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Comparison of THREE Months Ended MARCH 25, 2012, and MARCH 27, 2011

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements (and notes thereto) and other financial information of the Company appearing elsewhere in this report.

 

Consolidated Overview (000’s)

 

   Three months ended 
   March 25, 2012   March 27, 2011 
Total revenue  $1,430    100.0%  $1,041    100.0%
Gross profit   153    10.7%   164    15.8%
Operating expense   438    30.6%   403    38.0%
Operating loss  $(285)   5.4%   (239)   -22.9%

 

Revenue for the quarter ended March 25, 2012, increased by approximately $390,000, as compared to the quarter ended March 27, 2011. The main driver of revenue increase was new task orders under our Army Corps of Engineers (ACE) contract. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased due to payables outstanding corresponding to the revenue. The overall operating loss increased in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011 primarily due to the significant amount of low margin revenues.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

Discontinued operations include the results of Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc. subsidiary that was closed in June 2008.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $114,000 at March 25, 2012. During First quarter 2012, continuing operations consumed approximately $38,000 of cash predominantly due to operating losses.

 

In February 2011, the Company entered into a financing agreement with United Capital Funding Corporation under which the Company is able to factor certain eligible accounts receivable.  The agreement calls for a minimum fee of .425% of the invoice amount for the first five day period and an additional .425% for each five day period thereafter until the invoice is paid.  The Company is able to receive 80% of any invoices factored to the lender. As of December 25, 2011, there was no outstanding balance.

 

During 2008, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Darryl K. Horne, the Company’s President and Chairman. The loan permitted the Company to borrow up to $525,000 at 8 percent interest.

 

On December 29, 2011, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with Mr. Darryl K. Horne, President and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, pursuant to which the Company borrowed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) from Mr. Horne in exchange for a promissory note in the principal amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000). The note is payable on a quarterly basis and fully due and payable December 29, 2013. The Loan Agreement and Promissory Note provide for interest at a rate of 7% per annum on the outstanding principal, payable quarterly beginning March 31, 2012. The note is unsecured. The Note has been amended to payable in cash or may be converted into common stock by the lender at a per share price equal to $.10 per share.

 

As of March 25, 2012, the total outstanding principal balance to Mr. Horne was $248,506 and the accrued interest is $85,054.

 

In March 2011, the Company entered into a receivables financing agreement with Evan Auld-Susott, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, as agent of the Susott Family Limited Partnership (FLP). Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Auld-Susott agreed to finance specific accounts receivable under a line of credit for up to $500,000 at an interest rate of 13 percent. As of March 25, 2012, the outstanding balance was $190,000 and interest outstanding is $12,007. The loan is not convertible into any Company securities.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

On December 29, 2011, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with Mr. Trevor Foster pursuant to which the Company borrowed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) from Mr. Foster in exchange for a promissory note in the principal amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). The note is payable on a quarterly basis and fully due and payable December 29, 2013. The Loan Agreement and Promissory Note provide for interest at a rate of 7% per annum on the outstanding principal, payable quarterly beginning March 31, 2012. The note is unsecured. The note has been amended to be payable, at the option of the lender, by conversion into common stock at a per share price equal to $.10 per share. As of March 25, 2012, the outstanding balance is $100,000 and interest of $1,731.

 

As discussed in our 2010 Form 10-K, the Company has substantial liquidity challenges. While we continue to work towards profitability, there is a significant uncertainty that the Company will have sufficient cash flow to sustain its operations.

 

The Company continues to pursue additional funding sources in the event that funds from operations and financing are not sufficient to provide for our operations. The Company anticipates that these funding sources would primarily be in the form of bank credit lines. Given our past financial performance, the costs and fees associated with funding sources may be more expensive than the Company has historically paid. The Company can not determine if the funds available from operations will be sufficient for any acquisitions or facility expansions that may be undertaken during the year. Should the Company make any acquisitions or expansions, other sources of financing may be required.

 

The Company has no present commitments for additional financing. There is no guarantee that such additional financing will be available to the Company on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Item 3.      Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

In addition to the risks inherent in our operations, we are exposed to contractual, financial, market, political and economic risks. The following discussion provides additional detail regarding our exposure to interest rates and foreign exchange rates.

 

Government Contracts

 

The funding of U.S. government programs is subject to Congressional appropriations. Although multi-year contracts may be authorized in connection with major procurements, Congress generally appropriates funds on a fiscal-year basis, even though a program may continue for many years. Consequently, programs are often only partially funded initially, and additional funds are committed only as Congress makes further appropriations. Provisions in these contracts permit termination, in whole or in part, without prior notice, at the government’s convenience or upon contractor default under the contract. Compensation in the event of a termination, if any, is limited to work completed at the time of termination. In the event of termination for convenience, the contractor may receive a certain allowance for profit on the work performed.

 

Foreign Exchange Risk

 

We currently do not have any foreign currency risk and accordingly, estimate that an immediate 10 percent change in foreign exchange rates would have no impact on our reported net loss. We do not currently utilize any derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency risks.
