Revenues

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 decreased to $11,166,560 as compared to $13,972,574 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of 20%. The decrease is primarily attributable to the completion of projects with the Louisiana Land Trust, which generated revenues of $2 million in 2012.  

Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit

Cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 decreased to $8,657,771 as compared to $10,483,340 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of 18%. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower revenues in 2013.

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 decreased to $2,493,789 as compared to $3,489,234 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of 29%.  Our gross margin decreased due to the completion of projects with the Louisiana Land Trust, which generated revenues of $2 million in 2012 at better gross margins than the company earned on contracts in 2013.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased to $2,592,266 as compared to $2,515,442 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of 1%.   Our general and administrative expenses increased due primarily to increases in our group health insurance premiums and increased participation by employees in the group health plan, an increase in the cost of obtaining business licenses to support our expansion into 11 states, and increases in office expenses for computer services regarding our servers and the operation of our plans plotter.

Net Income/(Loss)

Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, was $(260,577) as compared to a profit of $1,135,222 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in our net income was attributable mainly to the lower revenues in 2013, higher interest expense ($169,826 in 2013, vs. $118,024 in 2012), lower gains on disposals of surplus assets ($0 in 2013 vs. $270,870 in 2012), together with the higher general and administrative expenses in 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of contracts receivable and accounts payable, and capital expenditures.

At September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, we had cash of $91,173 and $265,127, respectively and working capital of $2,883,713 and $3,184,331, respectively.  

Sources of liquidity. Since inception, we have funded operations primarily through cash flow from operations and various loans and notes. We believe that available cash and cash equivalents and availability under our borrowing facilities, combined with our access to credit markets, will be sufficient to fund our operations through 2013 and thereafter.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

Cash flows from operating activities. Operating activities generated $123,159 of net cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. During that period, we had a net loss of ($260,577), which is net of depreciation and other non-cash items totaling $430,452.  Net changes in contracts and other receivables, inventory, costs in excess of billings, and prepaid expenses used $1,006,740 in cash. These were offset by net changes in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and billings in excess of estimated costs and earnings, which generated $960,024 in cash.

Operating activities provided $1,242,130 of net cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. During that period, we had net income of $1,135,222, which is net of depreciation and other non-cash items totaling $175,372. Net changes in contracts and other receivables, inventory, costs in excess of billings, and prepaid expenses generated $321,321 in cash. These were offset by net changes in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and billings in excess of estimated costs and earnings, which used $389,785 in cash.

Cash flows from investing activities. Cash used for investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $513,480, related to the purchase of earth moving equipment and motor vehicles. There were no gains/losses from the disposal of assets in the period.  

Cash used for investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $128,644, arising from the sale of surplus assets offset proceeds from the disposal of surplus assets. The Company recorded gains on disposals of fixed assets totaling $270,870.

Cash flows from investing activities primarily relate to capital expenditures to support our growth.

Cash flows from financing activities. Net cash generated from financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $349,052. This was due to the increase in long-term debt of $1,755,640 and capital contributed of $180, offset by a $906,411 reduction in a loan from an officer and distributions totaling $500,357.

Net cash used by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $1,877,502. During the period we repaid $1,615,813 of notes payable and made distributions of $691,083, offset by new borrowings totaling $429,394.

Long Term Debt.  To date we have financed our operations through internally generated revenue from operations, the sale of our common stock, the issuance of notes and loans from shareholders.  At September 30, 2013 we had the following debt outstanding:

(i)

Demand loan from shareholder, Clyde Biston, bearing annual interest at 4.8%.  At September 30, 2013, $127,041 was outstanding under the loan.  In the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the company repaid $4,400 of principal under the loan.  At September 30, 2012, $247,412 was outstanding under the loan.  In the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the company repaid $4,400 of principal under the loan.

(ii)

A line of credit from Florida Traditions Bank, Dade City, FL, bearing variable interest of 1.25% over prime, secured by land, improvements, and accounts receivable. The line of credit matures December 20, 2014.  At September 30, 2013, $3,983,486 was outstanding under the line.  In the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the company made no repayments of principal under the line, and borrowed an additional $800,00.  At September 30, 2012, $2,333,486 was outstanding under the line.  In the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the company made no repayments of principal under the line.

(iii)

Various installment loans payable in payments, with interest rates ranging from 0% - 9.5%, secured by various equipment and property.  At September 30, 2013, $1,171,634 was outstanding under the loans.  In the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the company repaid $138,942 of principal under the loans.  At September 30, 2012, $2,802,037 was outstanding under the loans.  In the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the company repaid $96,819 of principal under the loans.

At September 30, 2013, a total of $5,282,160 was outstanding under all loans and the line of credit.  $418,911 of that amount is due and payable in the 12 months following that date.

Business Segments

The accounting standards for reporting information about operating segments define operating segments as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer. The Company is organized by line of business. While the Chief Executive Officer evaluates results in a number of different ways, the line of business management structure is the primary basis for which the allocation of resources and financial results are assessed. Under the aforementioned criteria, the Company operates in three operating and reporting segments: remediation, demolition and insulation.

Remediation derives its income from mold remediation and abatement services for a broad range of environments.  Demolition offers full scale commercial demolition and wrecking down to interior and selective demolition and strip down services.

Our third segment, Insulation, derives its revenue from re-insulation and insulation of new and remodeling projects.

Business Segment Performance

The following table sets forth the operating income (loss) by segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012.  The information provided in the table is obtained from internal information that is provided to the Company’s chief operating decision maker for the purpose of corporate management. The Company uses operating income (loss) to measure segment performance as recorded below:
