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 September 30, 2008 Annual Report on
Form 10-K and should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six and three months ended March
31, 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 March 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the
six and three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. Operating results for the six months ended
March 31, 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
consolidated financial statements in order to maintain consistency and comparability between
periods presented.
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 six and three months ended March 31, 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 (FASB No. 157). FASB No. 157 provides guidance for measuring the fair value of
assets and liabilities and expands related disclosures. FASB 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. FASB 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 FASB No. 157 for all
financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. The adoption of FASB No.
157 did not have a material effect on the Companys financial condition or operating results. FASB
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 FASB Staff Position No. FAS 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
FASB 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 March 31, 2009, the Company did not have any financial liabilities or assets that are
measured at fair value as defined under FASB No. 157.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-2 deferring the effective date
of FASB 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 FASB 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 FASB 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. FASB 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. FASB 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 FASB
No. 159 but has not elected the fair value option for any eligible financial instruments.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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 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.
11
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.
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

expire in 2029 and which are fully reserved. In addition, the Company does not have any net

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 March
31, 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
March 31, 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 $116,208 and $76,759 for the six months and three months ended March
31, 2009, respectively, and $203,087 and $61,075 for the six months and three months ended March
31, 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2009, approximately $302,360 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to
non-vested stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.67 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 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 six and
three months ended March 31, 2009.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six
months ended March 31, 2009, respectively and the six months ended March 31, 2008,

three months ended March 31, 2009, respectively, and $1,792,213 and $954,846 for the six and three

Litigation
The Company is involved in litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. The
Company does not believe that any litigation in which the Company is currently involved,
individually or in the aggregate, is material to the Companys 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 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) the Company provide it with a copy of the
Companys shareholder list as of January 28, 2009, the record date for the Annual Meeting of
Shareholders, and pre-addressed mailing labels for the Companys 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 the Companys
Annual Meeting to be held on March 18, 2009 because the Companys proxy materials contain
misrepresentations and omissions of material facts. On March 17, 2009, the Company, 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, and no hearing date has been set for this motion yet. On March 24,
2009, the Company, Coconut Palm and Coconut Palm Inc. filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit and
the Dissident Groups deadline for responding to this motion is May 18, 2009. The Company
believes this lawsuit is without merit and intends 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.
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 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. On April 1, 2009 and April 29, 2009, the Dissident Group filed motions for an extension of time to respond to the complaint.
The Federal Court entered orders granting an extension of time to the Dissident Group and its
response is due by June 1, 2009.

12. Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the period. Due to the Companys losses from continuing operations, dilutive
potential common shares in the form of warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted loss
per share, as inclusion would be anti-dilutive for the periods presented.
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.
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 six and
three months ended March 31, 2009 totaled $269,055 and $118,951, respectively, and $689,470 and
$298,845 for the six and three months ended March 31, 2008, respectively.
The Company issued a note payable to a related party in connection with the acquisition of
Middleton, as discussed in Note 6-Note
Payable-Related Party.

Company Overview
Sunair Services Corporation (the Company we or us) is a Florida corporation organized in
1956. We changed our corporate name from Sunair Electronics, Inc. to Sunair Services Corporation in

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. |

Revenue
Revenue from lawn and pest control services is comprised of lawn, pest control and termite
services. Revenue decreased by $1.7 million or 12.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as
compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease was the result of a decline in new
sales and renewals, which was expected considering the overall economic downturn experienced in the
latter part of our fiscal 2008 and has continued into our fiscal 2009.
18
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales decreased by $1.1 million or 18.9 % to $4.6 million or 36.1% of revenue for the
three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $5.6 million or 39.2% of revenue for the three
months ended March 31, 2008 due to the following factors:
|
|
Payroll costs decreased $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to
the three months ended March 31, 2008. The reduction in payroll costs was due to a decrease
in sales activity and a change in the compensation program for pest control technicians. |
|
|
|
Chemical costs decreased $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared
to the three months ended March 31, 2008, proportionate to the decrease in sales. |
|
|
|
Vehicle costs decreased $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to
the three months ended March 31, 2008. Vehicle lease costs decreased $0.1 million due to a
reduction in the size of the vehicle fleet. Fuel decreased $0.2 million due to a decrease in
oil prices. Vehicle repairs and maintenance decreased $0.1 million due to a reduction in the
size of the fleet and a discontinuation of our third party
vehicle maintenance program. |
Gross Profit
The gross profit of the lawn and pest control services decreased by $0.7 million or 7.7% to
$8.1 million or 63.9% of revenue for three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $8.7 million
or 60.8% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $9.7 million or 67.4% of revenue for the
three months ended March 31, 2008. Due to the reduction in new sales and the expected decline in

|
|
Sales payroll costs decreased by $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as
compared to the same time period in 2008. The reduction in sales payroll costs was due to a
decrease in sales commissions paid as a result of a decrease in revenue. |
General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.6 million or 8.5% to $6.5 million or 51.4%
of revenue for three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $7.1 million or 49.4% of revenue

|
Middletons general and administrative expenses decreased by $1.0 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008. Payroll
expenses decreased by $0.2 million primarily due to a reduction in headcount. Vehicle expenses
decreased $0.2 million due to lower fuel costs and reduced fleet size. Professional fees
decreased $0.1 million. Health insurance expenses decreased by $0.1 million due to a reduction
in headcount. Bad debt expenses decreased by $0.1 million due to improved collections.
Office and printing expenses decreased by $0.1 million primarily due to the closing of branch
offices. |

|
Corporate general and administrative expenses increased by $0.4 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008. Management fees
decreased by $0.2 million as a result of the Amended Management Services Agreement between the
Company and RPC (a related party) that commenced on February 8, 2008, resulting in lower
management fees. Professional fees increased by $0.5 million. The Company incurred $0.5
million in legal and SEC costs related to a shareholder dispute. Investment bank fees of $0.1
were incurred in connection with an evaluation of strategic alternative opportunities for the
Company. |

Other expenses decreased by $0.1 million or 27.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as
compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008 primarily related to a decrease in interest
expense. Lower interest rates on the revolving line of credit and note payable related party
resulted in lower interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the
three months ended March 31, 2008. The interest rate on the revolving line of credit was 5.50% at
March 31, 2009 compared to 7.49% at March 31, 2008. In addition, we have paid down the outstanding
balance on the revolving line of credit by approximately $5.0 million since March 31, 2008.

The income tax provision from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009
and 2008 was zero. The Company did not recognize an income tax benefit for the three months ended
March 31, 2009 as the Company has $17.8 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 March 31, 2009 and 2008.

Our significant divestitures have been recorded as discontinued operations:
|
|
On September 30, 2008 we completed the sale of all the issued and outstanding stock of
Telecom FM, a wholly owned subsidiary operating in our 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 gain on the sale of Telecom FM amounted
to $0.4 million. The activity for the three months ended March 31, 2008 represents the
operations of Telecom FM for that period. |
|
|
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 three months ended March 31, 2009. |

Revenue
Revenue from lawn and pest control services is comprised of lawn, pest control and termite
services. Revenue decreased by $2.5 million or 9.0% for the six months ended March 31, 2009 as
compared to the six months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease was the result of a decline in new
sales and renewals, which was expected considering the overall economic downturn experienced in the
latter part of our fiscal 2008 and has continued into our fiscal 2009.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales decreased by $1.3 million or 11.5 % to $9.6 million or 37.9% of revenue for the
six months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $10.9 million or 39.0% of revenue for the six months
ended March 31, 2008 due to the following factors:
|
|
Payroll costs decreased $0.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to
the six months ended March 31, 2008. The reduction in payroll costs was due to a decrease in
sales activity and a change in the compensation program for pest control technicians. |
|
|
Chemical costs decreased $0.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to
the six months ended March 31, 2008, due to the decrease in sales. |
|
|
Vehicle costs decreased $0.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to
the six months ended March 31, 2008. Vehicle lease costs decreased $0.1 million due to a
reduction in the size of the vehicle fleet. Fuel decreased $0.3 million due to a decrease in
oil prices. Vehicle repairs and maintenance decreased $0.2 million due to a reduction in the
size of the fleet and a discontinuation of our third party
vehicle maintenance program. |
21
Gross Profit
The gross profit of the lawn and pest control services decreased by $1.2 million or 7.3% to
$15.7 million or 62.1% of revenue for six months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $17.0 million
or 61.0% of revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2008.

Total operating expenses decreased by $2.7 million or 13.5% to $17.1 million or 67.7% of
revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $19.8 million or 71.3% of revenue
for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Due to the reduction in new sales and the expected
decline in the economic outlook for 2009, we made a concerted effort to further reduce our operating expenses.
Selling expenses decreased by $0.8 million or 27.1% to $2.2 million or 8.7% of revenue for the
six months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $3.0 million or 10.9% of revenue for six months
ended March 31, 2008.
|
|
Advertising costs decreased by $0.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 as
compared to the same time period in 2008 mainly due to reduced use of television advertising. |
|
|
|
Sales payroll costs decreased by $0.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 as
compared to the same time period in 2008. The reduction in sales payroll costs was due to a
decrease in sales commissions paid as a result of a decrease in new sales activity. |
General and administrative expenses decreased by $1.9 million or 12.7% to $12.7 million or
50.2% of revenue for six months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $14.6 million or 52.3% of
revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2008.
|
|
Middletons general and administrative expenses decreased by $1.9 million for the six months
ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the six months ended March 31, 2008. Payroll expenses
decreased by $0.5 million primarily due to a reduction in headcount. Vehicle expenses
decreased $0.3 million due to lower fuel costs and reduced fleet size. Office and printing
expenses decreased by $0.2 million primarily due to lower costs for printed materials and the
closing of branch offices. Health insurance decreased $0.2 million due to a reduction in
headcount. Bad debt expense decreased $0.1 million due to improved collections. Outsourcing
costs decreased by $0.3 million, primarily due to a decrease in professional fees. Facility
costs decreased by $0.1 million and customer damage costs decreased by $0.1 million. |
|
|
|
Corporate general and administrative expenses were flat for the six months ended March 31,
2009 as compared to the six months ended March 31, 2008. An increase of $0.4 million in legal
and professional fees, primarily due to a shareholders dispute was 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), that
commenced on February 8, 2008, which resulted in lower
management fees. |
Depreciation and amortization expenses remained flat for the six months ended March 31, 2009
as compared to the six months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2009, our liquidity and capital resources included cash and equivalents of $1.3
million, a working capital deficit of $5.8 million and $1.8 million was available under our
revolving line of credit. As of September 30, 2008, our liquidity and capital resources included
cash and equivalents of $3.0 million, a working capital deficit of $5.7 million and $1.4 million
available under our revolving line of credit.
Cash provided by operating activities was $3.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 as
compared to cash used in operating activities of $1.9 million for the six months ended March 31,
2008. During the six months ended March 31, 2009 the primary sources of cash from operating
activities were a decrease in accounts receivable of $0.6 million, a decrease in inventories of
$0.2 million, and a decrease in prepaid and other assets of $2.2 million. During the six months
ended March 31, 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 six months ended March 31, 2009 were an
decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $0.4 million, a decrease in unearned revenue
of $0.2 million and a decrease in customer depositions of $0.3 million. For the six months ended
March 31, 2008, the primary sources of cash were reductions in prepaid expenses of $0.4 million and
inventory of $0.2 million and an increase of $0.4 million in customer deposits. The primary uses
of cash from operating activities for the six months ended March 31, 2008 were an increase in
accounts receivable of $1.4 million and a reduction in accounts payable and accrued expenses of
$0.8 million.
Net cash used in investing activities was $0.3 million during the six months ended March 31, 2009
as compared to cash used in investing activities of $1.3 million for the six months ended March 31,
2008. During the six months ended March 31, 2009 the primary uses of cash from investing activities
were $0.2 million for capital expenditures and $0.2 million for software development. For the six
months ended March 31, 2008 the primary uses of cash from investing activities were $1.0 million
used for business acquisitions and $0.3 million used for capital expenditures.
Net cash used in financing activities was $4.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 as
compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $3.7 million for the six months ended
March 31, 2008. During the six months ended March 31, 2009 the primary use of cash from financing
activities were the repayment of the revolving line of credit of $4.1 million and the repayment of
notes payable and capital leases of $0.3 million. For the six months ended March 31, 2008, the
primary source of cash from financing activities was proceeds from revolving line of credit of $3.8
million.
Cash flows from discontinued operations for the six months ended March 31, 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 from a combination of cash flows
from operations and funds available under our revolving line of credit which we amended on January
28, 2009.

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 March 31, 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 six months ended March 31, 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, and no hearing date has been set for this motion yet. On March 24,
2009, we, Coconut Palm and Coconut Palm Inc. filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit and
the Dissident Groups deadline for responding to this motion is May 18, 2009. We believe
this lawsuit is without merit and it is our intention 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, we are 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. On April 1 and
29, 2009, the Dissident Group filed motions for an extension of time to respond to the complaint.
The Federal Court entered orders granting an extension of time to the Dissident Group and its
response is due by June 1, 2009.
