SUNAIR SERVICES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Basis of Consolidated Financial Statement Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Sunair Services Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Company), required to be consolidated in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting
policies described in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K
for its fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 and should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine and three months ended June
30, 2009 and 2008 included herein have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form
10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Article 8 of Regulation S-X under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations relating to interim financial statements.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements contain only normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Companys
financial position as of June 30, 2009, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the
nine and three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. Operating results for the nine months ended
June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal
year ending September 30, 2009.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
The Companys revenue recognition policies are designed to recognize revenues at the time services
are rendered or when goods change hands.
Lawn and ornamental services are primarily recurring in nature on a bi-monthly basis. In general,
lawn and ornamental customers sign an initial one year contract, and revenues are recognized when
services are rendered. The Company offers a discount to those customers who prepay a full year of
services. The Company defers recognition of these advance payments and the related discounts until
the underlying services have been rendered.
Pest control services primarily are billed annually with services being rendered on a semi-annual
basis. In general, pest control customers sign an initial one year contract. The Company recognizes
revenue over the life of these contracts in proportion to the direct costs incurred. These costs
have a direct relationship to the fulfillment of the Companys obligations under the contracts and
are representative of the value provided to the customer.
Termite baiting is primarily billed annually with revenues recognized as services are rendered. At
the inception of a new baiting services contract, the system is installed. The Company recognizes
revenue for the installation of the monitoring stations, initial directed liquid termiticide
treatment and rendering of the initial monitoring services. The remaining portion of the annual
fees billed are deferred and recognized as the remaining inspection and monitoring services are
rendered over the annual period. Baiting renewal revenue is deferred and recognized over the annual
period when the inspection and monitoring services are actually rendered. Liquid and drywood
termite application revenues, both initial and renewal, are recognized when the services are
rendered.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications of amounts previously reported have been made to the accompanying
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in order to maintain consistency and
comparability between periods presented.
10
In September 2008, the Company sold Telecom FM Ltd. (Telecom FM). For purposes of comparability,
the results of the operations have been reclassified from continuing operations to discontinued
operations for the nine and three months ended June 30, 2008 presented in the accompanying
condensed consolidated statements of operations. See Note 9 Discontinued Operations.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 provides guidance for measuring the fair value of
assets and liabilities and expands related disclosures. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the
price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the
principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 establishes market or observable inputs
as the preferred source of values, followed by assumptions based on hypothetical transactions in
the absence of market inputs. Effective October 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157 for all
financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. The adoption of SFAS No.
157 did not have a material effect on the Companys financial condition or operating results. SFAS
No. 157 established a three level fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring
fair value as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or
similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-driven valuations whose inputs are
observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3: Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.
In October 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a
Financial Asset in a Market That Is Not Active (FSP 157-3), which clarifies the application of
SFAS No. 157 when the market for a financial asset is inactive.
Specifically, FSP 157-3 clarifies how (1) managements internal assumptions should be considered in
measuring fair value when observable data are not present, (2) observable market information from
an inactive market should be taken into account, and (3) the use of broker quotes or pricing
services should be considered in assessing the relevance of observable and unobservable data to
measure fair value. The guidance in FSP 157-3 is effective immediately.
As of June 30, 2009, the Company did not have any financial liabilities or assets that are measured
at fair value as defined under SFAS No. 157.
In
February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 157-2 (FSP 157-2) deferring the effective date of
SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2008 (fiscal year ending September 30, 2010 for the Company). FSP 157-2 delays the effective date
of SFAS No. 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for all non-financial assets and
non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the
financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually) and will be adopted by the Company
beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. Although the Company will continue to evaluate the
application of FSP 157-2, management does not currently believe adoption will have a material
impact on the Companys financial condition or operating results.
The Company also adopted SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilitiesincluding an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (FASB No. 159), during the first
quarter of fiscal 2009. SFAS No. 159 allows companies to choose to measure eligible financial
instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not required to be measured at fair
value. SFAS No. 159 requires that unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value
option has been elected be reported in earnings at each reporting date. The Company adopted SFAS
No. 159 but has not elected the fair value option for any eligible financial instruments.
11
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an
amendment to SFAS No. 140 (SFAS No. 166). SFAS No. 166 eliminates the concept of a qualifying
special-purpose entity, changes the requirements for
derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures in order to enhance information
reported to users of financial statements by providing greater transparency about transfers of
financial assets, including securitization transactions, and an entitys continuing involvement in
and exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. SFAS No. 166 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 166 in fiscal 2010
and is evaluating the impact it will have on the consolidated results of the Company.
In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (FASB No.168). FASB No. 168 replaces FASB
Statement No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and establishes the
FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM (the Codification) as the source of authoritative
accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP). FASB No. 168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.
The Company will begin to use the new Codification when referring to GAAP in its annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ending September 30, 2009. This will not have an impact on the consolidated
results of the Company.
In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 165, Subsequent Events (FASB No. 165), which
establishes general standards of accounting for, and requires disclosure of, events that occur
after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be
issued. The Company adopted the provisions of FASB No. 165 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
The adoption of these provisions did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated
financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of
Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That
Are Not Orderly (FSP 157-4), and FSP FASB 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (APB) 28-1, Interim
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FSP 107-1). These two staff positions relate
to fair value measurements and related disclosures. The FASB also issued a third FSP relating to
the accounting for impaired debt securities titled FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and
Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (FSP 115-2). These standards were effective for
interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company has determined that FSP 157-4
and FSP 115-2 do not currently apply to its activities and has adopted the disclosure requirements
of FSP 107-1.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in
Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities. This FSP provides that unvested
share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends are participating
securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two class
method. This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008 (fiscal year ending September 30, 2010
for the Company) and interim periods within those years. Upon adoption, a company is required to
retrospectively adjust its earnings per share data to conform to the provisions in this FSP. The
provisions of FSP No. EITF 03-6-1 are effective for the Company retroactively in the first quarter
ending December 31, 2009. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of FSP No. EITF
03-6-1 on the calculation and presentation of earnings per share in its consolidated financial
statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the
Useful Life of Intangible Assets. FSP No. FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in
developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized
intangible asset under FASB No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This FSP is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2008 (fiscal year ending September 30, 2010 for the
Company), and interim periods within those fiscal years (interim period December 31, 2009 for the
Company). Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently assessing the impact that FSP No.
FAS 142-3 will have on its financial position, cash flows, and results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) Business Combinations (FASB No.
141(R)). FASB No. 141(R) retains the fundamental requirements of the original pronouncement
requiring that the purchase method be used for all business combinations. FASB No. 141(R) defines
the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business
combination, establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control and
requires the acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling
interest at their fair values as of the acquisition date. FASB No. 141(R) also requires that
acquisition-related costs be recognized separately from the acquisition. FASB No. 141(R) is
effective for the Company for fiscal year ending September 30, 2010. The Company is currently
assessing the impact of FASB No. 141(R) on its consolidated financial position and results of
operations.
12
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51 (FASB No. 160). The objective of FASB No. 160
is to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a
reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing
accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This Statement applies to all entities that prepare consolidated
financial statements, except not-for-profit organizations. FASB No. 160 amends ARB 51 to establish
accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It also amends certain of ARB 51s consolidation procedures for
consistency with the requirements of FASB No. 141 (R). This Statement is effective for fiscal
years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (that
is, January 1, 2009, for entities with calendar year-ends). Earlier adoption is prohibited. The
effective date of this Statement is the same as that of the related Statement 141(R). FASB No. 160
will be effective for the Companys fiscal year ending September 30, 2010. This Statement shall be
applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which this Statement is initially
applied, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements. The presentation and disclosure
requirements shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The Company is currently
assessing the impact of FASB No. 160 on its consolidated financial statements.
3. Acquisition
On October 2, 2007, Middleton Pest Control, Inc. (Middleton) acquired substantially all the
assets of Marshall Pest Control of SW FL, Inc. (Marshall) , a lawn and pest control services
company located in Naples, Florida for $1.6 million, consisting of $1.0 million in cash and $0.6

Pro-Forma Results of Operations
The pro-forma results of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 are not presented since
there was an insignificant difference between pro-forma and actual results for the period as our
sole acquisition during this time period. Marshall, was acquired on October 2, 2007.
4. Revolving Line of Credit
The Company has a line of credit with a financial institution collateralized by substantially all
of the assets of the Company. The maximum credit limit was $6.75 million as of June 30, 2009.
Interest is compounded daily based upon the LIBOR plus 5.00%. The interest rate at June 30, 2009
was approximately 5.31%. Interest expense incurred on the line of credit amounted to $283,049 and
$74,592 for the nine and three months ended June 30, 2009, respectively and $543,810 and $219,237
for the nine and three months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The outstanding balance on the
revolving line of credit at June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively, amounted to $5.0
million and $9.6 million, of which $0 and $4.1 million was classified as a current liability,
respectively. At June 30, 2009, the availability under the revolving line of credit amounted to
$1,500,000, which is net of a $250,000 outstanding letter of credit.
Effective August 11, 2009, the maximum credit line
was reduced from $6.75 million to $5.5 million, thus reducing the availability under the revolving line of credit.
On January 28, 2009, the Company modified certain terms and conditions of its revolving line of
credit representing the third amendment to the credit agreement. Among the amended terms and
conditions was the extension of the maturity date to January 2, 2010 and reduction of the maximum
credit limit from $11.75 million on September 30, 2008 to $7.75 million on December 31, 2008, to
$7.5 million on March 31, 2009, to $6.75 million on June 30, 2009 and to $5.5 million on September
30, 2009. In addition, there were amendments to the financial covenants relating to the
consolidated EBITDA, leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio, which amendments were
effective for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. The consolidated EBITDA requirement and the
fixed charge coverage ratio were reduced and the leverage ratio was increased. As of June 30, 2009,
the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants. On
August 11, 2009, the Company obtained
an extension of the maturity date of the revolving line of credit to
July 2, 2010 and reduced the maximum credit limit from $6.75 million
to $5.5 million as of August 11, 2009 and thereafter.

The notes expire in various years through 2011. On November 10, 2008, a $25,000 promissory note

Fair Value
The Company recognizes expense related to the fair value of stock-based compensation awards in
accordance with FASB No. 123R and has elected the modified prospective transition method as
permitted by this guidance, under which stock-based compensation for the three months ended June
30, 2009 and 2008 is based on grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of
FASB No. 123R. In addition, options granted to certain members of the board of directors as payment
for Board services recorded in accordance with FASB No. 123R and the issuance of restricted stock
awards and stock units are also included in stock-based compensation for the three months ended
June 30, 2009 and 2008. The Company recognizes compensation expense for restricted stock awards and
restricted stock units on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. The
Company recorded stock-based compensation expense which has been classified as selling, general and
administrative expenses of $190,187 and $73,979 for the nine months and three months ended June 30,
2009, respectively, and $385,239 and $182,152 for the nine months and three months ended June 30,
2008, respectively.
The fair value of stock-based awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes model, on the date of
grant, with the following weighted-average assumptions:

The Companys computation of the expected volatility for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and
2008 is based primarily upon historical volatility and the expected term of the option. The Company
continues to use the simplified method of determining the expected term provided under SAB 110 as
sufficient historical data is not available. The interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield
in effect at the time of grant for a period commensurate with the estimated expected life.
As of June 30, 2009, approximately $281,892 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to
non-vested stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.49 years.
9. Discontinued Operations
On September 30, 2008, the Company completed the sale of all the issued and outstanding stock of
Telecom FM, which was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company comprising the Telephone
Communications business segment. The effective date of the sale was September 1, 2008. The
aggregate purchase price paid to the Company for Telecom FM was $3.6 million, which included the
payment of outstanding inter-company debt in the amount of $1.2 million. The aforementioned $3.6
million payment was received in two payments of $1.8 million, one payment received on September 30,
2008 and reflected as cash on the September 30, 2008 balance sheet and the other payment of $1.8
million, received on October 1, 2008, was reflected as prepaid and other current assets on the
September 30, 2008 balance sheet.
As of September 30, 2008 a reserve was set up for the entire amount of a $2.0 million note
receivable due from Sunair Electronics LLC, relating to the sale of our legacy high frequency radio
business, as collection of this note was doubtful due to recent adverse developments at Sunair
Electronics LLC. In February 2009 a payment of $275,000 was received from Sunair Electronics LLC as
settlement of the note
receivable. This amount was recorded as income from discontinued operations in the accompanying
condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine and three months ended June 30, 2009.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months
ended June 30, 2009, respectively and the nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, have been

Litigation
The Company is involved in litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. The

Lawsuit filed by the Dissident Group against the Company
On February 19, 2009, Michael Brauser, Dru Schmitt and Michael Herman (the Dissident Group) filed
a complaint in the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit Court (Court or the Palm Beach Court) in Palm
Beach County, Florida against the Company, Coconut Palm Capital Investors II, Ltd. (Coconut Palm)
and Coconut Palm Capital Investors II, Inc. (Coconut Palm Inc.). The claims relate to the
Dissident Groups action to take control of the Company by replacing the Companys current Board
and replacing it with their six nominees and a claim that certain proxies granted to Coconut Palm
Inc. by Mr. Brauser and Mr. Schmitt are not valid.
In the complaint, the Dissident Group demanded that (i) we provide it with a copy of our
shareholder list as of January 28, 2009, the record date for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders,
and pre-addressed mailing labels for our shareholders as of the record date, (ii) the
Court issue a declaratory judgment relating to the validity of proxies granted to Coconut Palm Inc.
by Mr. Brauser and Mr. Schmitt and (iii) that the Court enjoin our Annual Meeting to be held on
March 18, 2009 because our proxy materials contain misrepresentations and omissions of material
facts. On March 17, 2009, we, Coconut Palm and Coconut Palm Inc. filed a motion to remove the
lawsuit to the United States District Court, the Southern District of Florida (Federal Court),
which the Palm Beach Court granted two days later. On April 16, 2009, the Dissident Group filed a
Motion to Remand the lawsuit to the state court, the Palm Beach Court. On July 6, 2009,
the Federal Court entered an Order Denying Motion to
Remand. On March 24, 2009, the Company, Coconut Palm and Coconut Palm Inc. filed a motion to
dismiss the lawsuit and the Dissident Group filed a response to this motion on May 18, 2009. The
Company, Coconut Palm and Coconut Palm, Inc. filed a Reply to the Dissident Groups response to the
motion to dismiss on May 29, 2009. The Federal Court
has not ruled on the Motion to Dismiss. The Company believes this lawsuit is without merit
and intends to continue to vigorously defend itself.
Complaint filed by the Company against the Dissident Group
On March 12, 2009, the Company filed a complaint in the Federal Court against the Dissident Group
and certain other co-defendants for violations of federal securities laws. The complaint relates to
actions that have arisen in connection with the information statement that the Dissident Group
filed with the SEC on January 28, 2009, as amended on February 25th, March 6th and March 9, 2009
(collectively, the Information Statement), in which the Dissident Group sought to remove the
Companys current Board of Directors and replace it with their nominees.
17
The complaint alleges that the Dissident Group and certain other co-defendants unlawfully solicited
proxies from the Companys shareholders in violation of Section 14(a) and 14(c) of the Exchange Act
in connection with their actions to take control of the Company and replace the Companys current
Board of Directors with their six nominees. It also alleges that the Information Statement filed by
the Dissident Group omits material information relating to Mr. Brausers background, including
civil fraud litigation and a bankruptcy proceeding involving a company owned by Mr. Brauser.
With its lawsuit, the Company seeking injunctive relief against the Dissident Group to prevent them
from voting any proxies obtained in the unlawful proxy solicitation, requiring corrective
disclosure in the Information Statement and establishing a 90-day cooling off period before the
Dissident Group can commence any further activity relating to a change of control. The Dissident
Group has filed motions for extension of time to respond to the
Complaint. On July 30, 2009, the Federal
Court granted an extension of time through August 31, 2009, for the Dissident Group to file an
Answer to the Complaint.

13. Related Parties
On January 7, 2008, the Company entered into a management services agreement (Management Services
Agreement or the Amended Management Services Agreement) with RPC Financial Advisors, LLC,
(RPC) a related party, which supersedes and replaces the management services agreement (the
Previous Management Services Agreement) dated February 8, 2005, as amended, between the Company
and RPC. Pursuant to the Amended Management Services Agreement, the Company provided RPC with
notice that the Previous Management Services Agreement would not be renewed and that the Amended
Management Services Agreement would be effective as of February 8, 2008.
18
The Amended Management Services Agreement is for a three year term, commenced on February 8, 2008
and expires on February 7, 2011. The Company pays RPC a monthly management fee equal to one (1%) of
the monthly gross revenues of the Company, which are payable monthly based on the average monthly
revenues of the preceding quarter. RPC will also receive a transaction fee of up to 2% of the
Aggregate Consideration received by the Company in a Transaction (as such capitalized terms are
defined in the Management Services Agreement). Pursuant to the Management Services Agreement, RPC
provides the Company with services similar to those provided in the Previous Management Services
Agreement. After the initial term of three years, the Management Services Agreement will
automatically renew for successive one year terms, unless either RPC or the Company terminates the
agreement upon 30 days notice. The management fees paid by the Company to RPC, for the nine and
three months ended June 30, 2009 totaled $433,348 and $164,293, respectively, and $857,233 and
$167,763 for the nine and three months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.

control services focusing mainly on residential customers.
We have completed the execution of our strategy to divest our legacy businesses (Telephone
Communications and High Frequency Radio) and will continue to focus on growing our core business,
Lawn and Pest Control Services.
The acquisitions and divestitures that have taken place since September 30, 2007 are as follows:
Acquisitions:
|
|
In October 2007 we acquired substantially all the assets of Marshall Pest Control of SW FL,
Inc. |
Dispositions:
|
|
In September 2008 we sold all the issued and outstanding stock of Telecom FM Limited,
(Telecom FM), a wholly-owned subsidiary operating in our Telephone Communications business
segment. |

Revenue
Revenue is comprised of lawn and ornamental, pest control and termite services. Revenue decreased
by $1.5 million or 10.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the three months
ended June 30, 2008. This decrease was primarily from lawn and ornamental services which began to
decline in the latter part of our fiscal 2008 year due to the overall economic downturn and has
continued thus far in 2009. Despite the downturn, revenue of pest control and termite services
remained flat.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales decreased as a percentage of revenue from 38.8% to 35.2%, or $1.1 million due to the
following factors:
|
|
Payroll costs decreased $0.4 million primarily due to the reduction
in services rendered and the
transition of our compensation structure in our acquired branches to mirror the rest of the
Company. |
|
|
Chemical costs decreased $0.3 million primarily due to the decrease in lawn and ornamental
revenue. |
|
|
Vehicle costs decreased $0.3 million due to a reduction in fuel prices and a decrease in the
repair and maintenance costs. The Company reduced its fleet size by 97 vehicles as part of a
rightsizing initiative to better manage our costs which also included the discontinuation of
our third party vehicle maintenance program which was brought in house. |
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased from 61.2% of revenue during the third quarter of 2008 to 64.8% of revenue
during the third quarter of 2009.

Total operating expenses decreased by $1.2 million or 13.1%. As a percentage of revenue, we
decreased from 64.6% to 62.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively,
primarily in our General and Administrative expenses due to the following factors:
|
|
Payroll expenses decreased $0.5 million as a result of reducing our headcount. |
|
|
Vehicle expenses decreased $0.2 million due to lower fuel costs and reduced fleet size. |
|
|
Health insurance expenses decreased by $0.2 million due to a reduction in headcount and
the renegotiation of our health and dental insurance rates with our provider, along with
adjustments to our employee contribution levels. |
|
|
Office and printing expenses decreased by $0.1 million primarily due to a focused effort
to maintain tight controls on inventory, structure the bidding on materials and the
consolidation of three of our branches into three other nearby branch locations. |

Other expenses decreased by $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to
the three months ended June 30, 2008 primarily related to a decrease in interest expense from lower
interest rates and the overall reduction of our debt in the amount of $5.2 million. The interest
rate on the revolving line of credit was 5.31% at June 30, 2009 compared to 7.46% at June 30, 2008.

The income tax provision from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and
2008 was zero. The Company did not recognize an income tax benefit for the three months ended June
30, 2009 as the Company has $18.0 million of net operating losses carryforwards which expire in
2029 and which are fully reserved. In addition, the Company does not have any operating loss
carrybacks. The Company also has $2.0 million of capital loss carryforwards which expire in 2014
and which are fully reserved. As a result the Company was unable to recognize an income tax benefit
for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

paid to the Company for Telecom FM was $3.6 million, which included the payment of outstanding
inter-company debt in the amount of $1.2 million. The gain on the sale of Telecom FM amounted
to $0.4 million. The activity for the three months ended June 30, 2008 represents the
operations of Telecom FM for that period. |
Net Income (Loss)
As a result of the foregoing, the

Revenue
Revenue is comprised of lawn and ornamental, pest control and termite services. Revenue decreased
by $4.0 million or 9.5% for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the nine months
ended June 30, 2008. This decrease was primarily from lawn and ornamental services which began to
decline in the latter part of our fiscal 2008 year due to the overall economic downturn and has
continued thus far in 2009. Despite the downturn, revenue for pest control and termite services
remained at levels similar to those achieved in 2008.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales decreased as a percentage of revenue from 39.0% to 37.0%, or $2.3 million due to the
following factors:
|
|
Payroll costs decreased $0.8 million primarily due to the reduction in services rendered, and the
transition of our compensation structure in our acquired branches to mirror the rest of the
Company. |
|
|
|
Chemical costs decreased $0.6 million which is proportionate to the decline in revenue. |
|
|
Vehicle costs decreased $0.9 million. Fuel purchases decreased $0.5 million due to the
reduction in fuel prices and the decrease in gallons purchased due to lower activity. Repair
and maintenance costs decreased $0.3 million and vehicle lease costs decreased $0.1 million.
The Company reduced its fleet size by 97 vehicles from June 30, 2008 to June 30, 2009 as part
of a rightsizing initiative to better manage our costs which also included the discontinuation
of our third party vehicle maintenance program which was brought in house. |
Gross Profit
The gross profit increased from 61.0% of revenue to 63.0% of revenue for the nine month period
ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively.

expenses decreased from 69.0% to 66.0% for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009
respectively.
Selling expenses decreased by $0.9 million primarily due to the decline in sales commissions paid
as a result of a decrease in new sales activity.
General and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of revenue from 50.3% to 47.9%, or
$3.0 million primarily due to the following factors:
|
|
Payroll expenses decreased by $1.0 million primarily due to a reduction in headcount.
|
|
|
Vehicle expenses decreased $0.5 million due to lower fuel costs and a reduced fleet size.
|
|
|
Office and printing expenses decreased by $0.3 million primarily due to tighter controls on
office supply inventory and print expenditures. |
|
|
Health insurance expenses decreased by $0.4 million due to a reduction in headcount and the
renegotiation of our health and dental insurance rates with our provider, along with
adjustments to our employee contribution levels. |
|
|
Outsourcing costs decreased by $0.3 million, primarily due to a decrease in professional
fees. |
|
|
Facility costs, customer damage expenses and miscellaneous expenses decreased a combined $0.3
million. |
|
|
Corporate general and administrative expenses were increased by $0.1 million. An increase of
$0.5 million in legal and professional fees, primarily due to a shareholders dispute was
partially offset by a decrease in management fees of $0.4 million, a result of the Amended
Management Services Agreement between the Company and RPC Financial Advisors, LLC, (a related
party), which was effective as of February 8, 2008, which resulted in lower management fees. |

|
|
As of September 30, 2008 a reserve was set up for the entire amount of a $2.0 million note
receivable due from Sunair Electronics LLC, relating to the sale of our legacy high frequency
radio business, as collection of this note is doubtful due to recent adverse developments at
Sunair Electronics LLC. In February 2009 a payment of $275,000 was received from Sunair
Electronics LLC as settlement of the note receivable. This amount was recorded as income from
discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations
for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. |
Net Income (Loss)
As a result of the foregoing, the
Companys net loss was ($1.5) million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 compared to a
net loss of ($3.5) million for the nine months ended June 30, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Generally our working capital needs are funded from operations and advances under our revolving
line of credit. In the lawn care and pest control business customers are billed when service is
rendered and payment is usually received in less than thirty (30) days.
As of June 30, 2009, our liquidity and capital resources included cash and equivalents of $1.6
million and $1.5 million was available under our revolving line of credit. On August 11, 2009,
our lender agreed to extend the maturity of our revolving line of credit from April 2, 2010 to July
2, 2010 and reduced the maximum credit limit from $6.75 million to $5.5 million as of August 11, 2009
and thereafter. This reduced our availability under our revolving
line of credit to $0.3 million,
net of a letter of credit of $0.3 million, based on our outstanding line of credit balance at June 30, 2009.
As of September 30, 2008, our liquidity and capital resources included cash and equivalents
of $3.0 million and $1.4 million available under our revolving line of credit.
Cash provided by operating activities was $4.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 as
compared to cash used in operating activities of $1.6 million for the nine months ended June 30,
2008. During the nine months ended June 30, 2009 the primary sources of cash from operating
activities were a decrease in accounts receivable of $0.4 million, a decrease in inventories of
$0.4 million, and a decrease in prepaid and other assets of $2.2 million. During the nine months
ended June 30, 2009, we collected the $1.8 million receivable related to the sale of Telecom FM
which took place on September 30, 2008 and which was included in prepaid and other current assets
at September 30, 2008. The primary uses of cash for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 were a
decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $0.6 million, a decrease in unearned revenue
of $0.3 million and a decrease in customer deposits of $0.2 million. For the nine months ended June
30, 2008, the primary sources of cash were an increase in accounts payable of $0.2 million,
an increase in unearned revenue of $0.1 million and an increase in customer deposits of $0.4
million. The primary uses of cash from operating activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2008
were an increase in accounts receivable of $2.5 million, an increase in inventories of $0.1
million, an increase in prepaid and other current assets of $0.1 million.
Net cash used in investing activities was $0.5 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2009
as compared to cash used in investing activities of $1.5 million for the nine months ended June 30,
2008. During the nine months ended June 30, 2009 the primary uses of cash from investing activities
were $0.2 million for capital expenditures and $0.3 million for software development. For the nine
months ended June 30, 2008 the primary uses of cash from investing activities were $1.0 million
used for business acquisitions and $0.5 million used for capital expenditures.
Net cash used in financing activities was $4.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 as
compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $2.5 million for the nine months ended
June 30, 2008. During the nine months ended June 30, 2009 the primary use of cash from financing
activities were the repayment of the revolving line of credit of $4.6 million and the repayment of
notes payable and capital leases of $0.3 million. For the nine months ended June 30, 2008, the
primary source of cash from financing activities was net proceeds from revolving line of credit of
$2.9 million.
Cash flows from discontinued operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are
minimal and are included in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows within operating,
investing and financing activities.
Our uses of cash for fiscal 2009 will be principally for working capital needs, capital
expenditures and debt service. We are not anticipating acquisition activity in fiscal 2009. We
believe that we can fund our planned business activities for the next
twelve months from a combination of cash on hand, cash
flows expected to be generated from operating activities and funds available under our revolving
line of credit which we amended on August 11, 2009, however, no
assurance can be given that this will be the case. The Company remained in compliance with
applicable financial covenants in its credit agreement at
June 30, 2009.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements and their effect, if any,
on the Company.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not applicable.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the
Exchange Act). Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that, at June 30, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure
that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in
the Commissions rules and forms.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls
There was no change in our internal controls or in other factors that could affect these controls
during the nine months ended June 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are involved in litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. We do not
believe that any litigation in which we are currently involved, individually or in the aggregate,
is material to our financial condition or results of operations.
Lawsuit filed by the Dissident Group against the Company
On February 19, 2009, Michael Brauser, Dru Schmitt and Michael Herman (the Dissident Group) filed
a complaint in the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit Court (Court or the Palm Beach Court) in Palm
Beach County, Florida against us, Coconut Palm Capital Investors II, Ltd. (Coconut Palm) and
Coconut Palm Capital Investors II, Inc. (Coconut Palm Inc.). The claims relate to the Dissident
Groups action to take control of the Company by replacing our current Board and replacing it with
their six nominees and a claim that certain proxies granted to Coconut Palm Inc. by Mr. Brauser and
Mr. Schmitt are not valid.
In the complaint, the Dissident Group demanded that (i) we provide it with a copy of our
shareholder list as of January 28, 2009, the record date for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders,
and pre-addressed mailing labels for our shareholders as of the record date, (ii) the Court issue a
declaratory judgment relating to the validity of proxies granted to Coconut Palm Inc. by Mr.
Brauser and Mr. Schmitt and (iii) that the Court enjoin our Annual Meeting to be held on March 18,
2009 because our proxy materials contain misrepresentations and omissions of material facts. On
March 17, 2009, we, Coconut Palm and Coconut Palm Inc. filed a motion to remove the lawsuit to the
United States District Court, the Southern District of Florida (Federal Court), which the Palm
Beach Court granted two days later. On April 16, 2009, the Dissident Group filed a Motion to Remand
the lawsuit to the state court, the Palm Beach Court. On July 6, 2009, the Federal Court entered an Order Denying Motion to Remand. On March 24,
2009, the Company, Coconut Palm and Coconut Palm Inc. filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit and the
Dissident Group filed a response to this motion on May 18, 2009. The Company, Coconut Palm and
Coconut Palm, Inc. filed a Reply to the Dissident Groups response to the motion to dismiss on May
29, 2009. The Federal Court has not ruled on
the Motion to Dismiss. The Company believes this lawsuit is without merit and intends to continue
to vigorously defend itself.
Complaint filed by the Company against the Dissident Group
On March 12, 2009, we filed a complaint in the Federal Court against the Dissident Group and
certain other co-defendants for violations of federal securities laws. The complaint relates to
actions that have arisen in connection with the information statement that the Dissident Group
filed with the SEC on January 28, 2009, as amended on February 25, March 6 and March 9, 2009
(collectively, the Information Statement), in which the Dissident Group sought to remove our
current Board of Directors and replace it with their nominees.
The complaint alleges that the Dissident Group and certain other co-defendants unlawfully solicited
proxies from our shareholders in violation of Section 14(a) and 14(c) of the Exchange Act in
connection with their actions to take control of the Company and replace our current Board of
Directors with their six nominees. It also alleges that the Information Statement filed by the
Dissident Group omits material information relating to Mr. Brausers background, including civil
fraud litigation and a bankruptcy proceeding involving a company owned by Mr. Brauser.
With its lawsuit, the Company is seeking injunctive relief against the Dissident Group to prevent
them from voting any proxies obtained in the unlawful proxy solicitation, requiring corrective
disclosure in the Information Statement and establishing a 90-day cooling off period before the
Dissident Group can commence any further activity relating to a change of control. The Dissident
Group has filed motions for extension of time to respond to the Complaint. On July 30, 2009, the
Federal Court granted an extension of time through August 31, 2009, for the Dissident Group to file an
Answer to the Complaint.
