The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 for Fortress International Group, Inc. (“Fortress” or the “Company” or “We”).
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. We recommend that you read these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, previously filed with the SEC. We believe that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect all adjustments that are necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the full year.

Nature of Business and Organization
 
  The Company provides a single source solution for highly technical mission-critical facilities such as data centers, operations centers, network facilities, server rooms, security operations centers, communications facilities and the infrastructure systems that are critical to their function. The Company’s services consist of technology consulting, design and engineering, construction management, systems installations and facilities management.

The Company’s focus is centered on growing long term cash reserves and net income, while attempting to organically grow profitability and corresponding cash flow.  In response to the downturn in the economy during the past several years and continuing in 2011, the Company worked to increase project utilization and realign selling, general and administrative expenses through cost cutting measures.  In our efforts to maintain and grow profitability, we will closely monitor our costs relative to actual and anticipated revenues and may make further reductions to operating costs.
 
In an effort to improve our capitalization and liquidity in 2010, the Company restructured scheduled debt repayments with its creditors.  In addition to the added liquidity from the proceeds of the sale of Rubicon, the Company eliminated scheduled debt repayments through debt forgiveness of approximately $0.5 million owed to the Chief Operating Officer (“COO”). On February 28, 2010, the Company improved its net worth through the principal conversion of $1.3 million of principal due on a seller note to its COO.  Furthermore, the principal repayment of the remaining $2.8 million was amended to begin in the second quarter of 2012.

As a result of the cost reduction efforts to realign operations with decreased anticipated revenues undertaken during 2010, the resulting operating profitability and the financial restructuring of the $4.0 million owed to our COO, management believes the Company’s current cash and cash equivalents and expected future cash generated from operations will satisfy its expected working capital, capital expenditure and investment requirements and financing obligations of $0.3 million on convertible notes through the next twelve months.
  
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-29, “Business combinations – disclosure of supplementary pro forma information,” (“ASU 2010-29”) to amend topic ASC 805 “Business Combinations,” by improving disclosure requirements related to the business combinations performed during the year being reported on.  Under the amended guidance, a public entity that presents comparative financial statements must disclose the pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination had occurred as of the beginning of the prior annual reporting period.  The provision of ASU 2010-29 will be adopted in the event of future acquisitions.
 
In September 2011, the FASB issued guidance that simplified how entities test for goodwill impairment.  This guidance permits entities to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a two-step goodwill impairment test.  This guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and early adoption is permitted.  The Company neither expects early adoption of the guidance nor the adoption to have a material effect on its financial statements.
