1.         Business

UniTek Global Services, Inc. (“UniTek,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a premier provider of high-quality, specialized infrastructure services including engineering, construction management and installation fulfillment services to the wired and wireless telecommunications, broadband cable and satellite television industries.  UniTek has created a scalable platform through which it can rapidly deploy a highly skilled workforce across the United States and Canada, delivering a comprehensive end-to-end suite of permanently outsourced infrastructure services.  The Company operates in two reportable segments: (1) Fulfillment, which includes fulfillment work for the pay television industry (both satellite and broadband cable), and (2) Engineering and Construction, which include both wireless and wired telecommunications.

On November 16, 2010, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 19.0 million shares of common stock at a price of $4.75 per share (prior to adjusting for the one-for-two reverse stock split effective on December 21, 2010).  On December 6, 2010, the Company sold an additional 450,567 shares of common stock at a price of $4.75 per share (prior to adjusting for the one-for-two reverse stock split effective on December 21, 2010) arising from the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option (together with the initial offering and sale of 19.0 million shares, the “Equity Offering”).  After deducting underwriting fees and offering costs, the Company generated net proceeds of approximately $84.4 million.  The Company used the net proceeds from the Equity Offering to repay approximately $64.0 million of indebtedness, with the remaining net proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes, including for working capital to support the execution of the Company’s backlog. 
 
2.         Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of April 2, 2011, and for the three months ended April 2, 2011 and April 3, 2010, have been prepared by us in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the Company’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the results of its operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods indicated.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year.  The condensed consolidated financial statements include the amounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.  Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the SEC on March 30, 2011.
 
3.         Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  The guidelines and numbering system prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) are used when referring to GAAP in these financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities, amounts contained in certain of the notes to the consolidated financial statements, and the revenues and expenses reported for the periods covered by the financial statements. Although such assumptions are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions. The Company’s more significant estimates relate to revenue recognition, allowances for bad debts, accruals for legal obligations, medical insurance and workers compensation insurance and valuation of goodwill and intangible assets.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
(Unaudited)
In the ordinary course of accounting for items discussed above, the Company makes changes in estimates as appropriate and as the Company becomes aware of circumstances surrounding those estimates. Such changes in estimates are reflected in reported results of operations in the period in which the changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are invested in investment-grade, short-term investment instruments with high quality financial institutions.

Accounts Receivable and Unbilled Revenue, Net of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are customer obligations for services rendered to such customers under normal trade terms. The Company’s customers are primarily communications carriers, corporate and government customers, located primarily in the U.S. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition.  Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest.  Unbilled revenue represents revenue on uncompleted infrastructure equipment construction and installation contracts that are not yet billed or billable and revenue recognized on completed projects that are not yet billed pursuant to contract terms. Deferred revenues are classified as current liabilities and principally represent the value of services to customers that have been billed as of the balance sheet date but for which the requisite services have not yet been rendered.  Any costs in excess of billings are deferred and recorded as a component of accrued liabilities.

The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. A specific reserve for bad debts is recorded for known or suspected doubtful accounts receivable. For all other accounts, the Company recognizes a general reserve for bad debts based on the length of time receivables are past due and historical write-off experience. The adequacy of the reserve is evaluated using several factors including length of time a receivable is past due, changes in the customer’s credit worthiness, the customer’s payment history, the length of the customer’s relationship with the Company, current industry trends and the current economic climate.  Account balances are charged off against the allowance when the Company believes it is probable that the receivable will not be recovered.  Provisions for doubtful accounts are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Inventories

Inventories consist primarily of materials and supplies purchased from the customer and other suppliers used for installation fulfillment services and wireless construction. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, as determined by the first-in, first-out method for the Fulfillment segment and the average cost method for the Engineering and Construction segment.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment consist of vehicles, equipment, computer equipment and software, furniture and fixtures, buildings, land and leasehold improvements. Each class of asset is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, which range from a period of three to five years, except as follows.  Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the term of the lease or the estimated useful life, whichever is shorter. Buildings are depreciated over 27.5 years. Assets under capital leases are depreciated over the lesser of the lease term or the asset’s estimated useful life. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. The Company capitalizes certain costs incurred in connection with the developing or obtaining internal use software, which are included within computers and equipment.  At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in our consolidated statements of operations.  All depreciation of property and equipment is included in the consolidated statements of operations in depreciation and amortization.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company periodically reviews long-lived assets, consisting primarily of property and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. In analyzing potential impairment, management uses projections of future undiscounted cash flows from the assets. These projections are based on management’s view of growth rates for the related business, anticipated future economic conditions and estimates of residual values and are considered to be impaired when the undiscounted net cash flows are less than its carrying value. The impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value based on assumptions that marketplace participants would use in their estimates of fair value.

Leases

The Company leases vehicles primarily for performing fulfillment services to the pay television industry. Leases are accounted for either as operating or capital depending on the terms of the lease. Each lease is evaluated and a determination is made whether the lease is an operating or capital lease. Operating lease payments are expensed as incurred.  Capital leases are included on the consolidated balance sheets as property and equipment and capital lease obligations.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill is subject to an assessment for impairment using a two-step, fair value-based test with the first step performed at least annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances exist that indicate that goodwill may be impaired. The Company completes an annual analysis of the reporting units at the beginning of the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. The first step requires the Company to determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare it to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment test is performed to determine the implied value of goodwill for that reporting unit. If the implied value is less than the carrying amount of goodwill for that reporting unit, an impairment loss is recognized for that reporting unit.
 
The Company amortizes intangible assets, consisting of customer relationships and non-compete agreements from acquired businesses, on a straight-line basis over the 12- to 84-month lives of those agreements (see Note 5).

Other Assets

Costs associated with obtaining long-term debt are deferred and amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the related debt (see Note 6).  At April 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $3.6 million and $4.2 million (net), respectively, is included in other assets related to deferred financing fees.

Revenue Recognition

The Company applies the revenue recognition principles set forth under the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 with respect to all of its revenue.  Accordingly, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed and determinable and collection is reasonably assured.  Revenue is recognized net of estimated allowances.

Revenues from fulfillment services provided to the pay television industry are recognized as the services are rendered. Fulfillment services are generally performed under master or other services agreements and are billed on a contractually agreed price per unit, work order basis.  Under master service and similar type service agreements, the Company furnishes specified units of service for a separate fixed price per unit of service. The Company recognizes revenue from fulfillment services net of equipment costs payable to the customer because the Company has determined that it acts as an agent specific to the equipment costs.
 
Within the Engineering and Construction segment, the Company enters into contracts that require the installation or construction of specified units within an infrastructure system. Under these contracts, revenue is recognized at the contractually agreed price per unit as the units are completed, which best reflects the pattern in which the obligation to the customer is fulfilled.  In the wireless portion of the Engineering and Construction segment, revenue for site acquisition and zoning services is based upon output measures using contract milestones as the basis.  Revenue from infrastructure equipment construction and installation contracts is recorded under the percentage-of-completion method based on the percentage that the total direct costs incurred to date compared to estimated total costs at completion.   Direct costs typically include direct materials, labor and subcontractor costs and indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools and repairs.  Direct materials are primarily purchased from third-party vendors and are therefore included as a component of direct costs in estimating the percentage-of-completion.  Losses relating to Engineering and Construction work are recognized when such losses become known.

The Company is also subject to costs arising from vendor and subcontractor change orders, which may or may not be pre-approved by the customer.  The Company determines the likelihood that such costs will be recovered based upon past practices with the customer or specific discussions, correspondence or negotiation with the customer.  The Company accounts for costs relating to change orders as contract costs to be expensed in the period incurred, unless persuasive evidence exists that the costs will be recovered.

Unbilled revenues represent revenue on uncompleted infrastructure equipment construction and installation contracts that are not yet billed or billable and revenue recognized on completed projects that are not yet billed, pursuant to contract terms. Deferred revenues are classified as current liabilities and principally represent the value of services to customers that have been billed as of the balance sheet date but for which the requisite services have not yet been rendered.  Any costs in excess of billings are deferred and recorded as a component of accrued liabilities.

Net Loss per Share
 
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods adjusted for the dilutive effect, if any, of the exercise or conversion of any instruments into common stock, such as stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) or warrants.  Any outstanding stock options, warrants, or other instruments that are convertible to common stock could potentially be dilutive should the Company report income from continuing operations in a future period. 

The following table sets forth the computations of basic and diluted loss per share:

Common stock equivalents consist of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method.  For the three months ended April 2, 2011 and April 3, 2010, 0.4 million and 0.2 million stock options, RSUs and warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect is anti-dilutive as a result of the loss from continuing operations.

Insurance Reserves

The Company maintains a high-deductible liability insurance program, subject to per claim deductibles of $0.35 million for its workers’ compensation policy, $0.25 million for its general liability policy and $0.35 million for its automobile liability policy.  The Company also has excess umbrella coverage up to $50.0 million per claim and in the aggregate. Because most claims do not exceed the deductibles under its insurance policies, the Company is effectively self-insured for substantially all claims.  The Company also has a self-insured plan for medical and dental claims.  The Company determines any liabilities for unpaid claims and associated expenses, including incurred but not reported losses, and reflects the undiscounted value of those liabilities in the balance sheet within accrued liabilities. The determination of such claims and expenses and the appropriateness of the related liability is reviewed and updated quarterly.   As of April 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the liability for insurance reserves was $11.7 million and $11.1 million, respectively. Known amounts for claims that are in the process of being settled, but have been paid in periods subsequent to those being reported, are recorded in the subsequent reporting period. The Company’s insurance accruals are based upon known facts, historical trends and its reasonable estimate of future expenses.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Income taxes consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be deductible or taxable when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. A valuation allowance is recorded against a deferred tax asset when it is determined to be more-likely-than-not that the asset will not be realized.

The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions in its financial statements when minimum recognition criteria are met in accordance with current accounting guidance.  The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits as of April 2, 2011 or December 31, 2010 and does not expect this to change significantly over the next 12 months.   The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.  As of April 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company has not accrued any interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.  The Company’s tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2008 through December 31, 2010 are still subject to examination by tax jurisdictions.

The Company provides an intra-period tax allocation of the income tax expense or benefit for the year to continuing operations and discontinued operations.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all share-based awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options based on estimated grant-date fair values.

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended April 2, 2011 and April 3, 2010, include stock-based compensation expense of $2.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, within selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-based compensation expense is based on the fair value of awards ultimately expected to vest, net of estimated forfeitures. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant primarily using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods. Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the current period is based on the value of the portion of stock-based awards that is ultimately expected to vest. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant in order to estimate the amount of stock-based awards that will ultimately vest. Limited historical forfeiture data is available. As such, management has based the estimated forfeiture rate on expected employee turnover and reevaluates its estimates each period. The Company records the cash flows resulting from the tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefit) as financing cash flows.
 
Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements.  ASC 820 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  ASC 820 discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost), which are each based upon observable and unobservable inputs.  Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions.

The Company uses a three-tier valuation hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs, as described below:
 
Level 1 - Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
 
Level 2 - Observable market based inputs or other observable inputs corroborated by market data at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, either directly or indirectly.
 
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using valuation models for which the assumptions utilize management’s estimates of market participant assumptions.
 
The Company determines the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities using available market information and commonly accepted valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The use of different assumptions or estimation methodologies could have a material effect on the estimated fair values. The fair value estimates are based on information available as of April 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments and accounts receivable. The Company does not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Receivables.  In July 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-20, “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses” (“ASU No. 2010-20”), an update to ASC 310, “Receivables” (“ASC 310”). This update enhances the disclosure requirements of ASC 310 regarding the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses and requires entities to provide a greater level of disaggregated information about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses. In addition, ASU No. 2010-20 requires disclosure of credit quality indicators, past due information, and modifications of its financing receivables. The disclosure requirements under ASU No. 2010-20 as of the end of a reporting period were effective for the Company for the period ending on December 31, 2010.  The disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-20 did not have a significant impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill. In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-28, “When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts” (“ASU No. 2010-28”), an update to ASC 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”). ASC 350 requires that entities perform a two-step test when evaluating goodwill impairment by first assessing whether the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value (Step 1) and, if it does, perform additional procedures to determine if goodwill has been impaired (Step 2). This update amends ASC 350 to require entities performing the goodwill impairment test to perform Step 2 of the test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists based on qualitative considerations. ASU No. 2010-28 was effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-20 did not have a significant impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations. In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-29, “Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations” (“ASU No. 2010-29”), an update to ASC 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”). This update amends ASC 805 to require a public entity that presents comparative financial statements to disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments in this update also expand the supplemental pro-forma disclosures under ASC 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. ASU No. 2010-29 was effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition.   In October 2009, the FASB issued new guidance for revenue recognition with multiple deliverables. This new guidance impacts the determination of when the individual deliverables included in a multiple-element arrangement may be treated as separate units for accounting purposes. Additionally, this new guidance modifies the manner in which the arrangement consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables and no longer permits the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration. The Company adopted this new guidance during the three months ended April 2, 2011.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Unbilled revenue principally represents the value of services rendered to customers not billed as of the balance sheet date.  Unbilled revenue is generally billed within three months subsequent to the provision of the services.

Credit risk with respect to accounts receivable was concentrated with five customers at April 2, 2011.  These customers accounted for approximately $44.8 million (68.8%) of the accounts receivable, including unbilled revenue, at April 2, 2011.  Credit risk with respect to accounts receivable was concentrated with four customers at December 31, 2010. These customers accounted for approximately $39.5 million (60%) of the accounts receivable, including
unbilled revenue, at December 31, 2010.  For the three months ended April 2, 2011, the Company derived approximately $69.9 million (76.1%) of its total revenue from its three largest customers.  For the three months ended April 3, 2010, the Company derived approximately $52.7 million (60.0%) of its total revenue from its two largest customers.  Each of these customers represented in excess of 10% of the Company’s total net revenue.

First Lien Credit Agreement
 
The Company was party to the First Lien Credit Agreement, dated September 27, 2007 (the “First Lien Credit Agreement”), which provided for a First Lien Revolving Credit Facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), a First Lien Term B Credit Facility (the “Term B Credit Facility”) and a First Lien Term C Credit Facility (the “Term C Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility provided loans in a maximum amount of $20 million and would mature on September 27, 2012. In connection with the closing of an amendment in January 2010, the interest rate was, at the Company’s option, either a rate of one-half of 1.0% per annum above the Federal Funds Rate plus 5.0% for base rate advances or the Eurodollar rate plus 6.0% provided that the rate would increase 75 basis points if the Company’s Leverage Ratio (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) exceeded a certain level. Unused borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility were subject to a 1.0% commitment fee per annum. As of April 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had $1.0 million and zero, respectively, of borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.  Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility were secured by the assets of the Company.  As of April 2, 2011, there were $4.0 million in letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Term B Credit Facility, as amended, provided for borrowings up to $93 million, including the Third Incremental Term B Facility described below.  As of April 2, 2011, $71.8 million (net of the debt discount of $2,142) was outstanding under the Term B Credit Facility. The term loan provided for interest, depending on the Company’s election, at a rate of one-half of 1.0% per annum above the Federal Funds Rate plus 5.5% or the Eurodollar rate plus 6.5%. Beginning December 31, 2009, in connection with the closing of an amendment in January 2010, the interest rate increased by 75 basis points if the Company’s Leverage Ratio exceeded a certain level. The loan under the Term B Credit Facility is to be amortized from December 31, 2007 until maturity. The Term B Credit Facility was secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.

On July 16, 2010, the Company amended its existing Term B Credit Facility to provide a Third Incremental Term B Facility (the “Third Incremental Term B Facility”) of up to $20.0 million.  The proceeds were used to reduce the existing balance on the Revolving Credit Facility to support future working capital needs.  The Third Incremental Term B Facility bore interest at the same rate as the Term B Credit Facility.  Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, the Third Incremental Term B Facility lenders received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 53,572 shares of common stock of the Company.  The warrants had an exercise price of $0.56 per share, vested 25% upon issuance, and the remaining warrants vested ratably through September 1, 2012.  The warrants contained a cashless exercise provision and provided for anti-dilution adjustments in the case of reclassifications, consolidations, mergers or sales that impact the Company’s common stock. 

The Company also agreed to pay to the Third Incremental Term B Facility lenders a deferred fee in cash up to a maximum of $3.5 million, which would be earned by the lenders through July 12, 2012 and was payable on March 26, 2013, or earlier under certain circumstances contained in the amendment.  The deferred fee payable in cash would be reduced by an amount calculated based on value realized by or ascribed to the exercise of the warrants described above.  Additionally, payment of the deferred fee in cash would result in the termination of the related warrants.  As a result of the contractual relationship between the exercise of the warrants and the payment of the deferred fee, the Company considered them to be separate financial instruments that should be measured at fair value and treated as a discount to the debt issued under the amendment, and classified as liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.  The estimated fair value of these instruments was $3.2 million as of December 31, 2010 and $3.3 million as of April 2, 2011, which was calculated using probability-weighted discounted cash flows for the deferred fee and the fair value of the related warrants based on the likelihood of satisfying the ultimate liability in either cash or shares of common stock, or a combination of both.   The liability relating to the deferred fee and warrants is included in other long-term liabilities as of April 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010, with changes in fair value of these instruments recorded within the consolidated statements of operations as a component of interest expense.  During the three months ended April 2, 2011, the Company recognized additional interest expense of $0.4 million related to the accretion of both the debt, net of discount, and the deferred fee liability to their estimated maturity values.
 
The Term C Credit Facility is for $19.5 million, which was the outstanding balance as of April 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The interest rate was amended to 16.25% on $8.0 million of the Term C Credit Facility for the period from April 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009 in connection with the December 2009 amendment and 13.08% on the remaining $11.5 million.  Effective January 1, 2010, the interest rate on the $8.0 million increased to 16.5%.

The First Lien Credit Agreement, as amended, included various financial covenants, the most significant of which required that the Company maintain certain quarterly financial ratios and limit annual capital expenditures. Pursuant to an amendment entered into on June 16, 2010, the required quarterly financial ratios became more restrictive to the Company over time. The Company was not in violation of any of its covenants at April 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Letter of Credit Transaction

On March 31, 2010, the Company entered into a Senior Secured Letter of Credit Facility arrangement (the “LOC Facility”), via an amendment to the First Lien Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”), by and among UniTek Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware company and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Acquisition”), UniTek Midco, Inc., a Delaware company and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Midco”), certain subsidiaries of Acquisition as guarantors, the initial lenders under the LOC Facility, and Royal Bank of Canada, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders.  The Amendment established an incremental $12 million revolving tranche (the “Incremental Tranche”) added to the credit facilities established by the First Lien Credit Agreement.  The full amount of Incremental Tranche was solely available to Acquisition for the issuance of letters of credit in support of Acquisition’s obligations under certain insurance policies and other general corporate purposes.  The LOC Facility charged a 1.3333% per month cash fee payable on issued but unfunded letters of credit and a 1.0% per annum cash fee on the daily average unfunded amount of the LOC Facility.  Funded letters of credit would carry an interest rate of LIBOR plus 6.75% per annum with a 2.5% LIBOR floor. 

Second Lien Credit Agreement
 
The Company was party to the Second Lien  Credit Agreement, dated September 27, 2007 (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”), which provided for a $25 million term facility that would mature on September 27, 2012 and was repayable in full at that date. The Company entered into two amendments with the lenders under the Second Lien Credit Agreement in 2009. The first amendment, in May 2009, modified certain covenants in return for a 1.0% fee and an increase in the interest rate. The second amendment, in December 2009, modified certain financial covenants through September 2012 pending meeting the required terms for closing the amendment, which occurred in January 2010. The interest rate at April 2, 2011 was the greater of 15.75% per annum and the Eurodollar rate plus 7.25%. Interest was due quarterly beginning on December 31, 2007 until maturity. The Second Lien Credit Agreement was secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.  The Second Lien Credit Agreement included various covenants, the most significant of which required the Company to maintain certain quarterly financial ratios and limits capital expenditures. The required quarterly financial ratios became more restrictive to the Company over time. The Company was not in violation of any of its covenants at April 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Termination of First Lien Credit Agreement and Second Lien Credit Agreement

The First Lien Credit Agreement and Second Lien Credit Agreement were terminated on April 15, 2011 as part of the Company’s debt refinancing (see Note 15).  All outstanding amounts owed by UniTek and its subsidiaries under the First Lien Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Credit Agreement were re-paid in full and all corresponding security interests under the First Lien Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Credit Agreement were released.  In conjunction with the debt refinancing, the earned portion of the deferred fee related to the Third Incremental Term B Facility was paid and all warrants and future obligations were terminated.

7.       Fair Value Measurements

As defined by ASC 820, the fair value of an asset or liability would be based on an “exit price” basis rather than an “entry price” basis. Additionally, the fair value should be market-based and not an entity-based measurement. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of input that may be used to measure fair value.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and unbilled revenue, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and financial instruments included in other assets and other liabilities are reflected in the consolidated balance sheet at historical cost, which is materially representative of their fair value due to the relatively short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities. The carrying value of the capital lease obligations approximates fair value because they bear interest at rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.  The carrying values of the Company’s notes payable and long-term debt is determined by comparison to rates currently available for debt with similar terms, credit risk and maturities.  The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt at April 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010 is $97.2 and $97.1 million, respectively. Fair value has been estimated based on the present value of future cash flows using market interest rates for the same contractual terms and considering the Company’s credit risk.

The change in the fair value of the deferred fee from December 31, 2010 to April 2, 2011, was a loss of approximately $0.04 million, which is reflected as a component of other income within the consolidated results of operations.  The change in fair value of the deferred fee is the result of changes in the present value of the expected future cash flows due to the passage of time.  On April 15, 2011, the earned portion of the deferred fee was paid in full in connection with the refinancing of the Company’s outstanding debt, as described in Note 15.

8.       Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company is a party to various lawsuits, claims, or other legal proceedings and is subject, due to the nature of its business, to governmental agency oversight, audits, investigations and review. Such actions may seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract, property damage, punitive damages, civil penalties or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. Under such governmental audits and investigations, the Company may become subject to fines and penalties or other monetary damages. With respect to such lawsuits, claims, proceedings and governmental investigations and audits, the Company accrues reserves when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company does not believe any of the pending proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

9.       Warrants

At April 2, 2011, the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase up to 157,879 shares of its common stock. The warrants’ exercise prices range from $0.56 to $140.00 per share and the warrants expire between June 21, 2011 and December 2, 2020.  The weighted average price is $83.38 per share.  During the three months ended April 2, 2011 and April 3, 2010, no warrants to purchase shares were exercised and there were no new issuances of warrants.  In conjunction with the April 2011 debt refinancing described in Note 15, 53,572 warrants issued in connection with the Third Incremental Term B Facility were terminated.
 
10.       Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units

As of April 2, 2011, the Company sponsored four stock option plans, the 1999 Securities Plan (the “1999 Plan”), the 2009 Omnibus Securities Plan (the “2009 Plan”),  2001 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2001 Plan”) and the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”) (collectively, (the “Plans”). The Company accounts for these Plans pursuant to ASC 718, “Stock-Based Compensation” (“ASC 718”).

The Plans provide for the grant of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options. The terms of the options are set by our Board. The options expire no later than ten years after the date the stock option is granted.  As of April 2, 2011, a total of 1.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock had been reserved for issuance under the Plans including 0.9 million shares remaining eligible for the grant of awards under the Plans.

On December 9, 2010, the Company commenced a tender offer to exchange certain eligible options to purchase shares of its common stock that were currently outstanding under the following stock option plans: (i) the 1999 Plan; (ii) the 2007 Plan; and (iii) the 2009 Plan.  Eligible options fell within one of the following three “groups:” (i) non-Homerun Portion (as defined below) stock options that were granted under the 2007 Plan and were vested as of December 31, 2010 (“Group 1”), (ii) non-Homerun Portion stock options that were unvested as of December 31, 2010 and any Homerun Portion stock options (whether vested or unvested) that were granted under the 2007 Plan (“Group 2”) and (iii) vested and unvested stock options granted under the 1999 Plan and 2009 Plan (“Group 3”).   The “Homerun Portion” of a 2007 Plan stock option grant was the 40% portion of each stock option grant, whether vested or unvested, that becomes exercisable (at its then current exercise price) only if and when the fair market value of the Company’s common stock is at least $168.00 per share.

Each tendered eligible option was cancelled in exchange for either a grant of RSUs or a replacement option, depending on whether the tendered eligible option was in Group 1, Group 2 or Group 3.  In exchange for each tendered eligible option in Group 1 and Group 3, the holder was granted a replacement option with an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the first business day following the expiration of the tender offer, January 10, 2011. Except for the exercise price and the date of grant, all other material terms and provisions (including post-termination exercise periods) of the eligible options remained unchanged.  In exchange for the tender of all eligible options in Group 2, each holder received a grant of RSUs under the 2009 Plan.  RSUs represent the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock for each vested restricted stock unit.

The tender offer expired on Friday, January 7, 2011, and pursuant to the tender offer, eligible options to purchase an aggregate of 296,833 shares of the Company’s common stock were validly tendered and not withdrawn, and the Company accepted for repurchase these eligible options. The holders of eligible options who validly tendered eligible options received an aggregate of 688,976 RSUs and 96,204 replacement options, repriced at an exercise price of $9.42 per share.  For more information, refer to the Company’s Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO, as filed with the SEC on December 9, 2010, as amended on December 28, 2010 and January 10, 2011.

The Company also issued an additional 74,202 RSUs on January 10, 2011 to eligible employees and members of the Board who were not eligible to participate in the tender offer or that did not hold any Group 2 options.  On February 17, 2011, the Company issued an additional 11,607 RSUs to an eligible employee.

Pursuant to ASC 718, the Company accounted for the tender offer as a modification of the existing stock options.  For Group 1 and Group 3 vested options, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense in the three months ended April 2, 2011 of $0.4 million for the aggregate difference between the fair value of the stock options before and after the modification.  For Group 2 options, the Company recorded $1.9 million of stock-based compensation expense in the quarter ended April 2, 2011 for the incremental fair value of the replacement RSU’s and the amortization of the unrecognized original grant date fair value of the stock options tendered in the exchange.  In addition, the Company recorded $0.2 million of stock-based compensation expense in the quarter ended April 2, 2011 for the new RSUs granted in the quarter.

As of April 2, 2011, there was $8.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plans (Group 2 and new RSU’s granted).  That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.25 years.

11.       Related-Party Transactions

The Company maintains certain policies and procedures for the review, approval, and ratification of related-party transactions to ensure that all transactions with selected parties are fair, reasonable and in the Company’s best interest. All significant relationships and transactions are separately identified by management if they meet the definition of a related party or a related-party transaction. Related-party transactions include transactions that occurred during the year, or are currently proposed, in which the Company was or will be a participant and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. All related-party transactions are reviewed, approved and documented by the appropriate level of the Company’s management in accordance with these policies and procedures.

On January 27, 2010, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Monitoring and Oversight Agreement (the “M&O Agreement”) with HM Capital Partners LP (“HM LP”).    Pursuant to the M&O Agreement, the Company agreed to pay HM LP an annual fee of $0.7 million in calendar year 2010 in consideration for HM LP’s provision of financial oversight and monitoring services to the Company as they may be requested from time to time.  In connection with the closing of the Company’s Equity Offering on November 16, 2010, the parties to the M&O Agreement agreed to terminate the M&O Agreement.  For the three months ended April 3, 2010, the Company incurred $0.2 million in monitoring and oversight fees, including expenses.  In connection with the termination of the M&O Agreement the Company also agreed pay a termination fee of $4.3 million (payable in cash or stock, as described below) that would only become payable once the following two conditions are met:

 
· 
The Sector Performance Fund, which is an affiliate of HM LP, sells its entire ownership stake in the Company, and
 
 
· 
The average price per share of common stock realized by the Sector Performance Fund is above its basis, which was calculated as of the closing of the Equity Offering and includes the conversion of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00002 per share (the “Series B Preferred”) and all other shares owned by Sector Performance Fund prior to the Equity Offering.  Subsequent to the Equity Offering and as of April 2, 2011, the Sector Performance Fund’s basis in its stock was significantly above the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock.
 
If the two conditions above are met and the termination payment becomes payable, the Company will be entitled to satisfy this obligation in either cash or shares of its common stock, at its sole discretion.  If payment is made in shares of common stock, the stock price would be calculated using the 20-day trailing average share price as of the date that the two conditions above are met and the termination payment becomes payable.

The termination fee resulting from the termination of the M&O Agreement represents a loss contingency under ASC 450.  As of April 2, 2011, the Company believes it does not yet meet the requirements to be recorded as a liability since the Company’s quoted stock price is currently trading well below the Sector Performance Fund basis and a sale of their stock would not meet the conditions precedent required to trigger payment of the termination fee.  The Company will continue to evaluate this loss contingency on an ongoing basis and as of each reporting period in order to determine the probability of the triggering conditions being met.

The Company also entered into a Credit and Support Agreement with two funds of HM LP that were parties to the guaranty of the Holdings Revolving Facility with BMO Capital Markets Financing, Inc. (the “Holdings Revolving Facility”).  With the closing of the Equity Offering and repayment of the Holdings Revolving Facility, the Credit and Support Agreement was terminated and all shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred”) were converted into common stock.  The Credit and Support Agreement provided for the payment of a credit support fee for the continued guaranty of the Company’s performance under the Holdings Revolving Facility.  The credit support fee was equal to 6% (or the maximum contract rate of interest permitted by law if less than 6%) on the aggregate of the outstanding principal and accrued interest added to the principal.  The credit support fee was payable quarterly in cash or, at the Company’s option in shares of Series B Preferred.  For the three months ended April 3, 2010, the Company recorded $0.3 million for the credit support fee that is included in interest expense.  This credit support fee was subsequently paid with the issuance of Series B Preferred on April 14, 2010.

12.           Income Taxes

During the three months ended April 2, 2011, the Company’s income tax expense of $0.5 million consisted primarily of a current tax benefit of $0.1 million related to the Company’s Canadian operations and a deferred tax expense of $0.5 million related to tax deductible goodwill and $0.1 million for state income tax.  Because the Company has not yet achieved profitable operations outside of Canada, management believes the potential tax benefits from other deferred tax assets do not satisfy the recognition criteria set forth in FASB ASC 740, and accordingly, has recorded a valuation allowance for substantially all of its gross deferred tax asset.  Additionally, for tax purposes, certain goodwill is being amortized.  In periods when the book basis of tax deductible goodwill exceeds its respective tax basis, a net deferred tax liability is recorded in the consolidated financial statements, since the basis difference will not reverse within the periods that the Company’s deferred tax assets will be recognized.

During the three months ended April 3, 2010, the Company’s income tax expense of $0.1 million consisted primarily of a current tax expense related to the Company’s Canadian operations.

13.       Discontinued Operations
 
Discontinued operations for the three months ended April 3, 2010, consisted of certain cable markets that were exited for operational reasons as well as wireless service locations that were shut down and discontinued due to lack of continuing revenues and operational reasons. Discontinued operations did not impact the Company’s operating results for the three months ended April 2, 2011.  The following table summarizes the results for the Company’s discontinued operations for the three months ended April 3, 2010:

14.       Segment Reporting
 
ASC 280 “Segment Reporting” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual financial statements of public business enterprises and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision makers of an enterprise. The Company reports its financial results on the basis of two reportable segments: (1) Fulfillment and (2) Engineering and Construction.  The Fulfillment segment consists of installation and other services for the pay television industry. This reportable segment includes the aggregation of the satellite and broadband cable operating segments of the Company.  The Engineering and Construction segment consists of engineering and construction services for the wired and wireless telecommunications industry on a project basis.  This reportable segment includes the aggregation of the wireline and wireless operating segments of the Company.  Transactions within and between segments are generally made on a basis to reflect the market value of the services and have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on several factors of which the primary financial measure is segment earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”).  Management believes segment operating income represents the closest GAAP measure to segment EBITDA.  Selected segment financial information for the three months ended April 2, 2011 and April 3, 2010 is presented below:

At April 2, 2011, the total assets of the Fulfillment segment were $183.4 million and the Engineering and Construction segment was $102.7 million.  This compares to $186.6 million and $109.4 million at December 31, 2010 for the Fulfillment segment and the Engineering and Construction segment, respectively.  The decrease of $3.2 million in the assets of the Fulfillment segment was primarily the result of lower accounts receivable due to lower revenues in the first quarter of 2011.  The decrease of $6.7 million in the Engineering and Construction assets compared to December 31, 2010 is primarily due to a decrease in accounts receivable as a result of lower overall revenues.

15.       Subsequent Events
 
Bank Refinancing

On April 15, 2011, the Company completed a refinancing of all of its existing debt by entering into (i) a Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) by and among UniTek, several banks and other financial institutions or entities that are parties to the Term Loan Agreement (collectively, the “Term Lenders”); and (ii) a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the “Revolving Loan Agreement”), by and among UniTek (and certain subsidiaries of UniTek) and PNC Bank, National Association, (the “Revolving Lender”).

The Term Loan Agreement provides for a $100 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) and the Revolving Loan Agreement provides for a $75 million revolving credit facility (“Revolving Loan”). Both the Term Loan and the Revolving Loan may be used for general business purposes.  The Term Loan is to be repaid in installments beginning on June 30, 2011 and ending in 2018. The Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR (with a floor of 1.50%) plus a margin of 7.50%. The Revolving Loan matures in 2016. UniTek may draw on the Revolving Loan and repay amounts borrowed in unlimited repetition up to the maximum allowed amount so long as no event of default has occurred and is continuing. The interest rate on the Revolving Loan is LIBOR (with no floor) plus a margin of between 2.25% and 2.75%. Subject to certain terms and conditions, the Term Loan Agreement and the Revolving Loan Agreement include accordion features of $50 million and $25 million, respectively.

The Term Loan Agreement and the Revolving Loan Agreement contain customary representations and warranties of UniTek as well as provisions for repayment, guarantees, other security and customary events of default. Specifically, the Revolving Loan Agreement and the Term Loan Agreement provide the Revolving Lender and the Term Lenders, respectively, with security interests in the collateral of UniTek (and certain subsidiaries of UniTek).

The Term Loan Agreement and the Revolving Loan Agreement require the Company to be in compliance with specified financial covenants, including (i) a “Consolidated Leverage Ratio” (as such term is respectively defined and applied in the Term Loan Agreement and the Revolving Loan Agreement) of less than a range of 4.75-3.00 to 1.00 (such ratio declining over time); (ii) a “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” (as such term is defined in the Term Loan Agreement and the Revolving Loan Agreement) not less than 1.2 to 1.0 for every fiscal quarter ended after the end of fiscal year 2011 (and a ratio of not less than 1.1 to 1.0 for every fiscal quarter ended in fiscal year 2011); and (iii) certain other covenants related to the operation of UniTek’s business in the ordinary course. In the event of noncompliance with these financial covenants and other defined events of default, the Term Lenders and the Revolving Lender are entitled to certain remedies, including acceleration of the repayment of amounts outstanding on the Term Loan and the Revolving Loan.

Pinnacle Wireless Acquisition

On April 15, 2011, UniTek closed the transactions contemplated by an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 30, 2011 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), by and among UniTek and Pinnacle Wireless, Inc. (“Pinnacle”) and its former owners (the “Sellers”).  In accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement, UniTek agreed to pay the Sellers an aggregate purchase price of up to $50 million, subject to certain conditions and adjustments as set forth in the agreement, consisting of a base purchase price of $20 million and earnout payments of up to $30 million.  The base purchase price of $20 million consisted of $12 million in cash and $8 million in shares of UniTek common stock, par value $0.00002 per share.  The number of shares of common stock was determined using the volume-weighted average of the closing prices of the common stock as quoted on the Nasdaq Global Market for the 20 days prior to March 31, 2011, which was $8.65, resulting in the issuance of 924,856 shares of the Company’s common stock.  Of the consideration paid in shares of the Company’s common stock, 578,037 shares were delivered to the Sellers at closing and 346,819 shares were delivered to an escrow agent, to be held until their release in accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement.  The earnout payments are based upon the achievement of incremental EBITDA performance targets defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement. The earnout payments of up to $30 million will be payable 60% in cash and 40% in shares of UniTek common stock, for which the number of shares of common stock will be determined using the volume-weighted average of the closing prices of the common stock as quoted on the Nasdaq Global Market for the 20 days prior to the EBITDA measurement date giving rise to the earnout payment being made.

The Pinnacle acquisition expands the Company’s presence in the two-way radio and wireless communications systems integration markets.  Pinnacle specializes in large-scale communications projects for transportation, public safety, entertainment, hospitality and enterprise-grade commercial real estate. The combination of Pinnacle’s capabilities and UniTek’s financing capabilities, shared service platform and size, is expected to provide for the expansion and continued growth in these markets.

Further information related to the accounting for this acquisition has not been disclosed, as the activities required to complete the initial accounting have not been completed as of the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

 Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
The information included in this quarterly report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the attainment of which involves various risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this quarterly report are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “may,” “will,” “expects,” “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “planned,” “scheduled,” “continue” or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms.

These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that we have made in light of our experience in the industry in which we operate, as well as our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. As you read and consider this quarterly report, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) and assumptions. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect our actual financial condition or results of operations and cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things:

 
·
our financial condition and strategic direction;
 
·
our future capital requirements and our ability to satisfy our capital needs;
 
·
the potential generation of future revenues and/or earnings and our ability to manage and control costs;
 
·
changes in our ability to adequately staff our service offerings;
 
·
opportunities for us from new and emerging technologies in our industries;
 
·
changes in our ability to obtain additional financing and the potential for restrictive covenants within our credit agreements;
 
·
our growth strategy and our ability to consummate acquisitions and integrate them into our existing operations;
 
·
trends in the satellite television, broadband cable and telecommunications industries;
 
·

 Summary of Operating Results

The following table presents consolidated selected financial information. The statement of operations data for the three months ended April 2, 2011, and April 3, 2010, has been derived from our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements that, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the data for such period.  We operate in two reportable segments: (1) Fulfillment and (2) Engineering and Construction.

On January 27, 2010, Berliner Communications Inc. (“Berliner”) and UniTek Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Holdings merged into Berliner and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Berliner, (the “Merger”). On June 4, 2010, Berliner filed a charter amendment and changed its name to UniTek Global Services, Inc.

As a result of the Merger, Holdings was the accounting acquirer with Berliner (now UniTek) as the legal acquirer and registrant.   As the accounting acquirer, the results for the quarter ended April 2, 2011 are of UniTek for the entire period and the results for the quarter ended April 3, 2010 are of Holdings’ for the entire period and include the results of operations of Berliner from January 27, 2010.

We had revenue of $91.8 million for the three months ended April 2, 2011, compared to $87.8 million for the three months ended April 3, 2010.  This represents an increase of $4.0 million, or 4.6%.
 
Revenue for the Fulfillment segment increased by $2.4 million, or 3.8%, from $61.6 million for the three months ended April 3, 2010 to $63.9 million for the three months ended April 2, 2011. The increase in revenues from our Fulfillment segment is primarily attributable to increased revenues from our satellite operations of $3.3 million, offset by a decrease in revenue derived from our cable operations of $0.9 million due to slower broadband cable construction during the first quarter of 2011.
 
Revenue for the Engineering and Construction segment increased $1.7 million, or 6.4%, from $26.2 million for the three months ended April 3, 2010 to $27.9 million for the three months ended April 2, 2011.  The increase is primarily the result of higher wireline revenues which increased by $3.9 million due to strong growth in our wireline maintenance and service business.  This increase was offset by a decrease of $2.2 million in revenues derived from our wireless operations, which is primarily the result of the timing of several larger wireless customer projects.

Our gross profit for the three months ended April 2, 2011 was $14.3 million compared to $13.1 million for the three months ended April 3, 2010, representing an increase of $1.2 million, or 9.4%.  Our gross profit as a percentage of revenue was approximately 15.6% for the three months ended April 2, 2011, as compared to 14.9% for the three months ended April 3, 2010.
 
For the Fulfillment segment, gross margin increased from 16.9% for the three months ended April 3, 2010 to 19.9% for the three months ended April 2, 2011.  The increase is primarily related to the operational improvements in various fulfillment markets and profitability improvements from the use of technology in the field, dispatch cost reduction programs and other cost savings initiatives.
 
For the Engineering and Construction segment, gross margin decreased from 10.3% to 5.7%.  The decrease is primarily the result of decreased revenues within our wireless business, partially offset by increased margins within our wireline business due to higher volumes.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) for the three months ended April 2, 2011 were $10.9 million as compared to $9.4 million for the three months ended April 3, 2010, representing an overall increase of $1.5 million.  Our stock compensation expense for the three months ended April 2, 2011 increased by approximately $2.1 million as compared to the prior year due to the restricted stock units granted on January 10, 2011 and the tender offer completed on that date. During the three months ended April 2, 2011, we incurred $0.9 million in additional costs related to legal expenses, public company costs and investments in infrastructure for growth. These increases were offset by a decrease of $1.5 million in acquisition related expenses that were incurred in the first quarter of 2010 and which did not reoccur in 2011.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Pro Forma EBITDA and Net income (loss) after certain non-cash adjustments

Adjusted EBITDA is a key indicator used by our management to evaluate operating performance of our company and to make decisions regarding compensation and other operational matters. While this Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to replace any presentation included in our consolidated financial statements under generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and should not be considered an alternative to operating performance or an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity, we believe this measure is useful to investors in assessing our performance with other companies in our industry. This calculation may differ in method of calculation from similarly titled measures used by other companies.  We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental information.  Adjusted EBITDA is our EBITDA adding back transaction costs for the Merger, certain restructuring costs and other non-cash charges.

Net loss after certain non-cash adjustments is a key indicator used by our management to evaluate operating performance of our company.  While the net loss after certain non-cash adjustments is not intended to replace any presentation included in our consolidated financial statements under GAAP, and should not be considered an alternative to operating performance, we believe this measure is useful to investors in assessing our performance in comparison with other companies in our industry.  Specifically, (i) non-cash compensation expense may vary due to factors influencing the estimated fair value of performance based rewards, estimated forfeiture rates and amounts granted, (ii) non-cash interest expense varies depending on the timing of amendments to our debt and changes to our debt structure and (iii) amortization of intangible assets is impacted by the Company’s acquisition strategy and timing of acquisitions.

Berliner pro forma net loss includes additional interest and amortization resulting from the Merger as if the Merger had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented.
 
Adjusted pro forma EBITDA increased by 24.9% to $6.0 million for the three months ended April 2, 2011 from $4.8 million for the three months ended April 3, 2010.  Our year over year improvement of $1.4 million in pro forma gross profit was the main contributor to this increase, offset by an increase of $0.2 million in SG&A, excluding stock-based compensation expense and merger transaction costs.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation of fixed assets totaled approximately $3.6 million for the three months ended April 2, 2011 compared to $2.5 million for the three months ended April 3, 2010.  Of this increase, $0.1 million is attributable to the Merger, with the remaining increase due to the conversion of a portion of our vehicle fleet from operating leases to capital leases in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Amortization of intangible assets recorded as a result of acquisitions resulted in amortization expense of approximately $2.8 million for the three months ended April 2, 2011 compared to $4.0 million for the three months ended April 3, 2010. A portion of our customer related intangible assets arising from broadband cable acquisitions completed in prior years reached the end of their estimated useful lives, resulting in the decrease in amortization expense.
  
Interest Expense

We recognized $4.5 million and $5.2 million in interest expense during the three months ended April 2, 2011 and April 3, 2010, respectively.  The decrease of $0.7 million was primarily related to lower outstanding debt resulting from the paydown of our existing term loan and revolver in the fourth quarter of 2010 and the payoff of the Holdings Revolving Facility which resulted in a combined decrease of $1.6 million in interest expense for the three months ended April 2, 2011 as compared to the three months ended April 3, 2010.  This decrease was offset by an increase of $0.3 million in the amortization of deferred financing costs, $0.1 million of additional interest expense relating to vehicle leases accounted for as capital leases, and a $0.5 million gain resulting from the change in fair value of an interest rate collar during the first quarter of 2010, which did not reoccur in 2011 as a result of the interest rate collar being terminated in November 2010.

Income Taxes
 
During the three months ended April 2, 2011, we recorded income tax expense of $0.5 million, which consisted primarily of a current tax benefit of $0.1 million related to our Canadian operations and a deferred tax expense of $0.5 million related to tax deductible goodwill and $0.1 million for state income tax.  Because we have not yet achieved profitable operations outside of Canada, management believes the potential tax benefits from other deferred tax assets do not satisfy the recognition criteria set forth in FASB ASC 740, and accordingly, has recorded a valuation allowance for substantially all of its gross deferred tax asset.  Additionally, for tax purposes, certain goodwill is being amortized.  In periods when the book basis of tax deductible goodwill exceeds its respective tax basis, a net deferred tax liability is recorded in the consolidated financial statements, since the basis difference will not reverse within the periods that our deferred tax assets will be recognized.

During the three months ended April 3, 2010, our income tax expense of $0.1 million consisted primarily of a current tax expense related to our Canadian operations.

Net Loss

We had a net loss of $7.9 million for the three months ended April 2, 2011, compared to a net loss of $8.4 million for three months ended April 3, 2010.  The net loss for the three months ended April 3, 2010, includes a loss from discontinued operations of $0.4 million.  The loss from discontinued operations was the result of the closure of certain cable installation and wireless locations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At April 2, 2011, we had consolidated current assets of approximately $92.0 million, including cash and cash equivalents of approximately $11.9 million.  Historically, we have funded our operations primarily through operating cash flows and borrowings under loan arrangements. Our primary liquidity needs are for working capital, debt service, insurance collateral in the form of cash and letters of credit and capital expenditures.  In the past we have also used our capital resources to fund our growth through strategic mergers and acquisitions. The principal use of cash during the quarter ended April 2, 2011 was to fund working capital purposes.

We need working capital primarily to support the expected growth in our business, particularly in our Engineering and Construction segment as a result of wireless growth, fiber deployment and cable fulfillment related construction.  We are also subject to seasonal variations in our business, which occur primarily due to the impact of weather on our Engineering and Construction work, as well as seasonal fluctuations within our Fulfillment segment.  Our business is typically slower during the first quarter and second half of the fourth quarter of each calendar year.  As a result, we generally experience seasonal working capital needs from approximately April through November of each calendar year in order to support growth in accounts receivable and unbilled revenue.  Our billing terms are generally 30 days, and in addition, we also maintain inventory to meet the material requirements of certain of our contracts, primarily within the Fulfillment segment.  Our vendors typically offer us terms ranging from 30 to 90 days, while our agreements with subcontractors are generally 14 to 21 days, with some terms as long as 35 to 45 days.

Debt Refinancing

On April 15, 2011, we completed a refinancing of all of our existing debt (the “Debt Refinancing”) by entering into (i) a Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) by and among UniTek, the several banks and other financial institutions or entities that are parties to the Term Loan Agreement (collectively, the “Term Lenders”), FBR Capital Markets LT, Inc., as documentation agent, as syndication agent and as administrative agent; and (ii) the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the “Revolving Loan Agreement”), by and among UniTek (and certain subsidiaries of UniTek) and PNC Bank, National Association, as agent for the lenders under the Revolving Loan Agreement (collectively, the “Revolving Lenders”).  The Term Loan Agreement provides for a $100 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) and the Revolving Loan Agreement provides for a $75 million revolving credit facility (“Revolving Loan”). Both the Term Loan and the Revolving Loan may be used for general business purposes.

The Term Loan is to be repaid in installments beginning on June 30, 2011 and ending in 2018. The Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR (with a floor of 1.50%) plus a margin of 7.50%. The Revolving Loan matures in 2016. We may draw on the Revolving Loan and repay amounts borrowed in unlimited repetition up to the maximum allowed amount so long as no event of default has occurred and is continuing. The interest rate on the Revolving Loan is LIBOR (with no floor) plus a margin of between 2.25% and 2.75%. Subject to certain terms and conditions, the Term Loan Agreement and the Revolving Loan Agreement include accordion features of $50 million and $25 million, respectively.

The Term Loan Agreement and the Revolving Loan Agreement contain customary representations and warranties of the Company as well as provisions for repayment, guarantees, other security and customary events of default. Specifically, the Revolving Loan Agreement and the Term Loan Agreement provide the Revolving Lenders and the Term Lenders, respectively, with security interests in the collateral of UniTek (and certain subsidiaries of UniTek).

The Term Loan Agreement and the Revolving Loan Agreement require us to be in compliance with specified financial covenants, including (i) a “Consolidated Leverage Ratio” (as such term is respectively defined and applied in the Term Loan Agreement and the Revolving Loan Agreement) of less than a range of 4.75-3.00 to 1.00 (such ratio declining over time); (ii) a “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” (as such term is defined in the Term Loan Agreement and the Revolving Loan Agreement) not less than 1.2 to 1.0 for every fiscal quarter ended after the end of fiscal year 2011 (and a ratio of not less than 1.1 to 1.0 for every fiscal quarter ended in fiscal year 2011); and (iii) certain other covenants related to the operation of UniTek’s business in the ordinary course. In the event of noncompliance with these financial covenants and other defined events of default, the Term Lenders and the Revolving Lenders are entitled to certain remedies, including acceleration of the repayment of amounts outstanding on the Term Loan and the Revolving Loan.
 
 
29

 

We believe that our cash, cash equivalents and availability under our new credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements within our existing businesses for at least the next 12 months.  If we make additional acquisitions or our growth in revenues exceeds our current projections, we may need to seek additional sources of liquidity.  If our available cash and cash equivalents are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain an additional credit facility. The sale of additional equity and debt securities may result in additional dilution to our stockholders. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of debt securities or preferred stock, these securities could have rights senior to those of our common stock and could contain covenants that would restrict our operations. We may require additional capital beyond our currently forecast amounts. Any such required additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may be required to reduce the scope of, delay or eliminate some or all of our planned development and operations, which could harm our business.

Below is a summary of our debt agreements that were in place during the quarter ended April 2, 2011 that is relevant to an understanding of our liquidity and capital resources:

First Lien Credit Agreement and Second Lien Credit Agreement
 
General
 
On September 27, 2007, UniTek Acquisition, Inc., or Acquisition, entered into the First Lien Credit Agreement, by and among Acquisition, UniTek Midco, Inc., or Midco, certain subsidiaries of Acquisition as guarantors (the “Guarantors”), the initial lenders, Royal Bank of Canada, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders and RBC Capital Markets, as lead arranger and book-runner, which we refer to as the First Lien Credit Agreement.  The First Lien Credit Agreement provided for a First Lien Revolving Credit Facility, or the Revolving Credit Facility, a First Lien Term B Credit Facility, or the Term B Credit Facility, and a First Lien Term C Credit Facility, or the Term C Credit Facility.  On September 27, 2007, UniTek Acquisition, Inc., or Acquisition, also entered into the Second Lien Credit Agreement, by and among Acquisition, Midco, certain subsidiaries of Acquisition as guarantors, the initial lenders, Royal Bank of Canada, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders and RBC Capital Markets, as lead arranger and book-runner, which we refer to as the Second Lien Credit Agreement.  The Second Lien Credit Agreement provided for a $25 million term facility that matures on September 27, 2012 and is repayable in full at that date.  The First Lien Credit Agreement and Second Lien Credit Agreement were terminated on April 15, 2011 as part of the Debt Refinancing.  All outstanding amounts owed by UniTek and its subsidiaries under the First Lien Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Credit Agreement were re-paid in full and all corresponding security interests under the First Lien Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Credit Agreement were released.

Availability and Term
 
The credit facilities under the First Lien Credit Agreement were (1) the Term B Credit Facility, (2) the Term C Credit Facility and (3) the Revolving Credit Facility, with a portion of such Revolving Credit Facility available as a swing line facility and a portion available as a letter of credit facility.  The Term B Credit Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility, including the swing line loan facility and the letter of credit facility, mature on September 27, 2012.  The Term C Credit Facility matures on the earlier of (1) three months after the maturity date of the Term B Credit Facility and (2) December 31, 2013.  As of April 2, 2011, the Term B Credit Facility and the Term C Credit Facility were drawn at $73.9 million, excluding debt discounts of $2.1 million.  The credit facility under the Second Lien Credit Agreement is a $25 million second lien term loan facility.  As of April 2, 2011, the Second Lien Credit Agreement had a balance outstanding of $7.8 million.  The Second Lien Credit Agreement matures on the earlier of (1) three months after the maturity date of the Term B Credit Facility and (2) December 31, 2013. 
 
 
30

 

Interest Rate and Fees
 
As of April 2, 2011, the Term B Credit Facility bore interest at a rate per annum equal to one-half of 1% above the Federal Funds Rate plus 5.5% for base rate advances and 6.5% of Eurodollar advances (subject to 2.50% floor) provided that the applicable margin would be increased for each period in which the Leverage Ratio was greater than 3.00:1.00 to 6.25% per annum for base rate advances and 7.25% per annum for Eurodollar rate advances (subject to 2.5% floor).  As of April 2, 2011, the Term C Credit Facility bore interest at a rate of 16.50% on $8.0 million of the debt and $13.08% on the remaining $11.5 million of the debt.  As of April 2, 2011, the Second Lien Credit Facility bore interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (1) 15.75% and (2) the Eurodollar rate plus a margin of 7.25%.  The Revolving Credit Facility interest rate margin was one-half of 1% above the Federal Funds Rate plus 5.0% for base rate advances or 6% of Eurodollar advances (subject to 2.50% floor) provided that the applicable margin for the Revolving Credit Facility would be increased for periods in which the Leverage Ratio was greater than 3.00:1.00 to 5.75% per annum for base rate advances and 6.75% per annum for Eurodollar rate advances (subject to 2.50% floor).

Guaranties and Security

The obligations under the First Lien Credit Agreement were guaranteed by the Guarantors and were secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets and property of the Company and the Guarantors, including a pledge of all equity interests in Acquisition and the Guarantors, other than Midco.

The obligations under the Second Lien Credit Agreement were guaranteed by the Guarantors and were secured by a second priority lien on substantially all of the assets and property of the Company and the Guarantors, including a pledge of all equity interests in Acquisition and the Guarantors, other than Midco.

The First Lien Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Credit Agreement contained representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants that are customary for debt facilities of this type.  In addition, the First Lien Credit Agreement contained certain financial covenants, including, among other things, a maximum total leverage ratio, a maximum first lien leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a minimum interest coverage ratio and minimum liquidity requirements.  The Second Lien Credit Agreement also contained total leverage ratio, maximum fixed charge coverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio covenants, although in some cases the covenants contained in the First Lien Credit Agreement were more restrictive.

The First Lien Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Credit Agreement also included events of default that are customary for debt facilities of this type, subject to significant threshold amounts and cure periods.  These events of default included, among other things, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to certain indebtedness and bankruptcy.

On July 16, 2010, we amended our existing Term B Credit Facility to provide a Third Incremental Term B Facility of up to $20.0 million.  The proceeds were used to reduce the existing balance on the Revolving Credit Facility to support future working capital needs.  As of April 2, 2011, the Third Incremental Term B Facility bore interest at the same rate as the prior Term B Credit Facility.  Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, the Third Incremental Term B Facility lenders received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 53,572 shares of our common stock.  The warrants had an exercise price of $0.56 per share, vested 25% upon issuance, and the remaining warrants vest ratably through September 1, 2012.  We also agreed to pay to the Third Incremental Term B Facility lenders a deferred fee in cash up to a maximum of $3.5 million, which would be earned by the lenders through July 12, 2012 and was payable on March 26, 2013, or earlier under certain circumstances contained in the amendment.  The deferred fee payable in cash would be reduced by an amount calculated based on value realized by or ascribed to the exercise of the warrants described above.  Additionally, payment of the deferred fee in cash would result in the termination of the related warrants.  During the year three months ended April 2, 2011, we recognized additional interest expense of $0.4 million related to the accretion of both the debt, net of discount, and the deferred fee liability to their estimated maturity values.  With the Debt Refinancing completed in April 2011, the earned portion of the deferred fee was paid and all related warrants were terminated.

Capital Leases and Other Contractual Obligations
 
We rent office space, equipment and trucks under noncancelable operating and capital leases, certain of which contain purchase option terms. Operating lease payments are expensed as incurred.  Leases meeting certain criteria are capitalized, with the related asset being recorded in property and equipment and an offsetting amount recorded as a liability.  These capital leases are non-cash transactions and, accordingly, have been excluded from the consolidated statements of cash flows.  As of April 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the total cost of the assets under capital leases was approximately $25.2 million and $24.8 million, respectively, and the related accumulated depreciation was approximately $9.0 million and $7.1 million, respectively.

Net cash used in operating activities.
 
Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended April 2, 2011 and April 3, 2010, was approximately ($2.7) million and ($4.7) million, respectively. During the three months ended April 2, 2011, cash flow used in operating activities primarily resulted from a decrease in account payable and accrued liabilities of $5.6 million as a result of the timing of the payment of outstanding payables and payroll from the year-end 2010, combined with lower revenue and corresponding costs in the first quarter of 2011.  Accounts receivable increased by approximately $1.1 million, inventories decreased by $0.6 million and prepaid expenses and other assets increased by $2.0 million.

Net cash used in operating activities in the three months ended April 3, 2010 was approximately $4.7 million.   During the three months ended April 3, 2010, cash flow used in operating activities primarily resulted from our operating income, net of non-cash charges, of approximately $0.4 million. Accounts receivable increased by approximately $5.2 million due to increased revenue during the three months ended April 3, 2010.

Net cash used in investing activities.
 
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended April 2, 2011 and April 3, 2010 was approximately $1.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively.  Cash used for the purchase of fixed assets was $1.0 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended April 2, 2011 and April 3, 2010, respectively. During the three months ended April 2, 2011, we also used approximately $0.3 million of cash for the acquisition of a cable installation business.
 
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities.
 
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities for the three months ended April 2, 2011 and April 3, 2010 was approximately ($1.9) million and $3.4 million, respectively.   During the three months ended April 2, 2011, net cash used in financing activities consisted primarily of $1.0 million of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, offset by long-term debt and capital lease repayments of $2.9 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $3.4 million in the three months ended April 3, 2010.  During the three months ended April 3, 2010, net cash provided by financing activities consisted primarily of $12.5 million from issuance of preferred stock and $0.4 million from issuance of common stock to support the Merger. Also as part of the Merger, existing Berliner debt of $7.2 million was repaid, net of cash acquired, and $2.6 million was paid on the Term B Credit Facility.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We provide letters of credit to secure our obligations primarily related to our insurance arrangements.  Total letters of credit issued as of May 17, 2011 were $11.35 million, which were collateralized by cash.  Prior to the Debt Refinancing, our letters of credit were issued under the First Lien Credit Agreement.

Effect of Inflation

We do not believe that our businesses are impacted by inflation to a significantly different extent than the general economy.  However, there can be no assurance that inflation will not have a material effect on our operations in the future.
