The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 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, 2011, 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 profitability and corresponding cash flow.  On an ongoing basis, the Company works to increase project utilization and realign selling, general and administrative expenses through cost cutting measures. In the first quarter of 2012, the Company implemented a restructuring plan with estimated total annual savings of $2.8 million, of which $1.4 million is an estimated reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses (see Note 3). We will continue to closely monitor our costs relative to actual and anticipated revenues and may make further reductions to selling, general and administrative expenses including but not limited to personnel and related costs and marketing.

 

During the first quarter 2012, as a result of the decline in its profitability, the Company failed to comply with certain financial covenants under its revolving line of credit facility. While the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the line of credit and is unable to borrow under the facility because of its failure to comply with these covenants, the Company is in discussions with its bank to modify the terms of the line of credit through a covenant waiver, amendment of covenants, or combination thereof (see Note 8).

 

The Company had $6.0 million and $6.7 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company financed its operations through its cash balances and working capital. As a result of efforts to align and monitor operating costs with anticipated revenues, management believes that the Company’s current cash and cash equivalents and expected future cash generated from operations will satisfy the expected working capital, capital expenditure and financial service requirements of the Company's current business through the next twelve months.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2011, the FASB issued a new accounting standard on fair value measurements that clarifies the application of existing guidance and disclosure requirements, changes certain fair value measurement principles and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. We were required to adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2012. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In September 2011, the FASB issued guidance that simplified how entities may 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. This guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
