NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
 
 
1.   Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Interim Financial Statements:

The information presented as of March 31, 2010 and for the three  month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 are unaudited, and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which Henry Bros. Electronics, Inc. and its Subsidiaries (the “Company” or “HBE”) considers necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2010, the results of its operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, and changes in stockholders’ equity for the three month period ended March 31, 2010. The Company’s December 31, 2009 balance sheet information was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, which are included as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s latest shareholders’ annual report.

As of March 31, 2010, there have been no material changes to any of the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

Description of Business:

Henry Bros. Electronics, Inc., is an established player in the electronic physical security industry, specializing in integrated security systems, and emergency preparedness.

HBE provides products and services to customers in the public and private sectors. Customers include transit authorities, seaports, airports, universities, office-buildings, hospitals and airlines. Each of the Company’s segments markets its products and services nationwide with an emphasis in Arizona, California, Colorado, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Texas and Virginia.

The company operates through two primary operating segments:
 
1.
Security Systems Integration
 
2.
Specialty Product and Services

The Security Systems Integration business operates under the name Henry Bros. Electronics, Inc. and its approach to client service is core to all of its businesses. At the beginning of each new client relationship, HBE designates one member of its professional staff as the client service contact. This individual is the point person for communications between the client and HBE and often acts as the client's project manager for all of its security needs, which ensures that clients receive the best possible security solution to meet its needs. The Company derives a majority of its revenues from project installations and to a smaller extent, maintenance service revenue.

The Specialty Products and Services segment includes three separate businesses:
1.
Evacuation planning
2.
Mobile digital recording
3.
Airorlite Communications

The Evacuation Planning business operates under the Diversified Security Solutions, Inc. name and works with managers of high-rise office buildings to analyze their specific facilities’ needs with emergency preparedness plans. This division provides demonstrations, training and recommendations to clients; develops emergency plans and procedures; and communicates building strategy to the tenants to increase building community unity, awareness and confidence.

The Mobile Digital Recording business operates under the name Viscom Products, Inc. and has developed an integrated standard solution for the deployment of mobile digital recorders on municipal buses and trains.

The Airorlite Communications business provides specialized communications product design, development and engineering related to RF transmission.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Principles of Consolidation:

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company.  Acquisitions are recorded as of the purchase date, and are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.  All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue and costs relating to security integration systems projects and service agreements are particularly affected by management’s estimates. The contract sale price and estimated costs are based upon the facts and circumstances known at the time of the proposal. Estimates for the costs to complete the contract are periodically updated during the performance of the contract. Unpredictable events can occur during the performance of the contract that can increase the costs and reduce the estimated gross profit. Change orders to record additional costs may not be approved or can become subject to long negotiations with the customer and can result in concessions by the Company. Considerable judgments are made during the performance of the contract that affects the Company’s revenue recognition and cost accruals that may have a significant impact on the results of operations reported by the Company.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
 
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, short and long-term debt, approximate their fair values as of March 31, 2010.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:

In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events,” which establishes general standards of accounting for, and disclosures of, events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. This pronouncement is effective for interim or fiscal periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 855 resulted in additional disclosures with respect to subsequent events. In February 2010, an update to accounting guidance was issued which eliminates the disclosure of the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated.  This update was effective immediately.  The adoption of this amendment did not have a significant effect on our financial statements.

3.  Earnings Per Share
 
The computation of basic earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. When applicable, the computation of diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effects of common stock equivalents, less the shares that may be repurchased with the funds received from their exercise and the effect of adding back unrecognized future stock compensation expense. Potentially dilutive common stock equivalents include shares issuable upon exercise of options. Contingent shares are excluded from basic earnings per share.
 
4.  Stock Based Compensation
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company charged $60,000 to operations in each period for stock based compensation expense.

On June 30, 2005, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with TD Bank, N.A. pursuant to which TD Bank extended a $4 million two-year credit facility (the “Revolving Loan”), to the Company and refinanced $1 million of existing indebtedness to TD Bank into a five year term loan (the “Term Loan”).
 
On October 6, 2008, the Company executed its fourth amendment to the Revolving Loan with TD Bank, increasing its line of credit from $4 million to $8 million. The Revolving Loan is subject to certain borrowing base limitations.  On November 11, 2009 the term of the Revolving Loan was extended to June 30, 2011.  Advances under the Revolving Loan may be used to finance working capital and acquisitions. Interest is paid monthly in arrears at TD Bank’s prime rate, subject to a minimum floor rate of 4.0% effective November 11, 2009 as part of the extension of the Revolving Loan .  TD Bank has a first priority security interest on the Company’s accounts receivable and inventory.

The Company is required to maintain certain financial and reporting covenants and is restricted from paying dividends under the terms of the Loan Agreement.

    $ 3,070,359     $ 4,830,517  
                 
The weighted average interest rate on the Revolving Loan was 4.0% and 3.35% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009, respectively.
 
7.  Income Taxes
 
The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was 46.6%, compared to an effective income tax rate of 45.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  Income tax expense for interim reporting is based on an annual effective income tax rate forecast, which includes estimates and assumptions that could change during the year.  The differences between the effective income tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% principally result from state and local taxes, and differences between the book and tax treatment of certain items that are permanent in nature.

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2010 has not been impacted by any material discrete items.  As of March 31, 2010 the Company has $49,893 of unrecognized liabilities from uncertain tax positions, all of which would impact the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized.  There have been no significant changes during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

OVERVIEW

 Henry Bros. Electronics, Inc., is an established player in the electronic physical security industry, specializing in integrated security systems, and emergency preparedness.

HBE provides products and services to customers in the public and private sectors. Customers include transit authorities, seaports, airports, universities, office-buildings, hospitals and airlines. Each of the Company’s segments markets its products and services nationwide with an emphasis in Arizona, California, Colorado, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Texas and Virginia.

The company operates through two primary operating segments:
 
1.
Security Systems Integration
 
2.
Specialty Product and Services

The Security Systems Integration business operates under the name Henry Bros. Electronics, Inc. and its approach to client service is core to all of its businesses. At the beginning of each new client relationship, HBE designates one member of its professional staff as the client service contact. This individual is the point person for communications between the client and HBE and often acts as the client's project manager for all of its security needs, which ensures that clients receive the best possible security solution to meet its needs. The Company derives a majority of its revenues from project installations and to a smaller extent, maintenance service revenue.

The Specialty Products and Services segment includes three separate businesses:
1.
Evacuation planning
2.
Mobile digital recording
3.
Airorlite Communications

The Evacuation Planning business operates under the Diversified Security Solutions, Inc. name and works with managers of high-rise office buildings to analyze their specific facilities’ needs with emergency preparedness plans. This division provides demonstrations, training and recommendations to clients; develops emergency plans and procedures; and communicates building strategy to the tenants to increase building community unity, awareness and confidence.

The Mobile Digital Recording business operates under the name Viscom Products, Inc. and has developed an integrated standard solution for the deployment of mobile digital recorders on municipal buses and trains.

The Airorlite Communications business provides specialized communications product design, development and engineering related to RF transmission.
 
OUR VISION AND STRATEGY

Our vision is to maintain our leadership position in security technology. We intend to do this in part by:

 
·
Providing advice on product selection and system design;
 
·
Examining and thoroughly testing each security product as it would be set up for use in our customers’ facilities; and,
 
·
Using only systems and components that are reliable and efficient to use.

In addition to growing the business organically, we are opportunistically open to the possibility of pursuing the strategic acquisition of synergistic integrators and specialty products and service companies.  To finance our acquisitions, we have used a combination of internally generated cash, the sale of Company common stock and bank debt. We currently have an $8 million revolving credit facility, subject to certain borrowing base limitations, with TD Bank.  Borrowings under the revolving credit facility were $2,635,898 at March 31, 2010. It is our expectation and intent to use cash and to incur additional debt as appropriate to finance future working capital and acquisitions.  Additionally, to fund future acquisitions we would consider the issuance of subordinated debt, the sale of equity securities, or the sale of existing Company assets.

TRENDS

Our revenue forecast for 2010 is expected to fall within a range of $60 million to $65 million.  We anticipate our overall average operating margins for our business to be in the range of 4.0% to 5.0% for the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to an operating loss of 1.3% in 2009 and an operating profit of 5.0% in 2008.  
 
There are several factors impacting operating margins, including levels of competition for a particular project and the size of the project.  As a significant amount of our costs are relatively fixed, such as  labor costs, increases or decreases in revenues can have a significant impact on operating margins.  The Company continually monitors costs and pursues various cost control measures and sales initiatives to improve operating margins. 

In February 2008, the Company entered into a subcontractor agreement with Global Security & Engineering Solutions, a division of L-3 Services, Inc. (the “L-3 Contract”) pursuant to which L-3 would issue task orders under its Indefinite Quantity Firm Fixed Price Contract with the U.S. Marine Corp Systems Command to deliver a Tactical Video Capture System (“TVCS”).  TVCS is used for real-time visualization and situational awareness while Marine units are conducting military operations in urban terrain training exercises.  The performance period of the contract is three years.  In the first quarter of 2010, the revenue recognized under this contract represented $0.7 million, compared to $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2009. There were outstanding task orders included in our backlog of approximately $2.9 million at March 31, 2010.

Revenue - Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $12,441,292, representing a decrease of $2,866,920 or 18.7%, as compared to revenue of $15,308,212 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.   Our integration segment revenues were negatively impacted in the first quarter of 2010, compared to the same period in 2009, principally due to the protracted credit freeze and economic downturn,  the wind down of a large project in our Colorado operation in 2009 that did not repeat in 2010, and a number of larger projects included in the company’s December 31, 2009 backlog that had scheduled start dates beginning with the Company’s second quarter. Lower revenues under the L-3 Contract also contributed to this period-over-period decline. The L-3 Contract generated $0.8 million lower revenue in 2010 compared to 2009.  Partially offsetting these declines were increased revenue in the first quarter of 2010 over the prior year from our Texas and Airorlite operations.  Revenue in the first quarter of 2010 includes a 59% increase in the Texas market from the revenue recorded in the first quarter of 2009.
 
Cost of Revenue - Cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $8,864,290 as compared to $11,086,198 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The gross profit margin for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was 28.8 % as compared to 27.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2009.   The decline in gross profit dollars was directly related to the decline in revenue discussed above. Although California’s gross profit as a percent of revenue (“gross margin”) declined in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009, the gross margin in our Colorado, Arizona and Mid-Atlantic operations each increased in this same comparable period, reflecting management’s increased cost containments and efficiency improvements efforts in order to the lessen the negative impact of the protracted credit freeze and economic downturn.  Partially offsetting the declines was increased gross profit dollars and margin from our Airorlite operations.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses - Selling, general and administrative expense was $3,457,058 ­­for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $3,870,860 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This decrease of $413,802 or 10.7% was mainly attributable to lower personnel costs and overall cost containment reflecting management’s efforts to lessen the negative impact of the protracted credit freeze and economic downturn.
 
Interest Income – Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $41,944 as compared to $6,970 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  This increase was attributable to  interest earned on an income tax refund and higher average cash balances during the three month period ended March 31, 2010 versus the same period in the prior year.
 
 
Tax  Expense – The Company recognized income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 of $50,039, based upon  income  before income taxes of $107,426, compared with income tax expense of $139,487 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, based upon income before income taxes of $305,609.   Income tax expense for interim reporting is based on an annual effective income tax rate forecast, which includes estimates and assumptions that could change during the year.  The differences between the effective income tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% principally result from state and local taxes, and differences between the book and tax treatment of certain items that are permanent in nature.  The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was 46.6%, compared to an effective income tax rate of 45.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
 
Net Income - As a result of the above noted factors our net income was $57,387 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to net income of $166,122 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This resulted in diluted income per share of $0.01 on weighted average diluted common shares outstanding of 6,059,458 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.03 on weighted average diluted common shares outstanding of 6,143,851 for the three month period ended March 31, 2009.
 
 
As of March 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,685,698.  Our net current assets were $12,318,477 at March 31, 2010 versus $13,748,867 at December 31, 2009.  Total debt at March 31, 2010 was $3,525,800 compared to the December 31, 2009 balance of $5,367,070.
 
Cash provided by operating activities was $690,845 during the three months ended March 31, 2010.  The most significant provider of cash resulted from a net decrease in accounts receivable of $2,329,204.  Partially offsetting this was a use of cash resulting from a decrease in accounts payable and billings in excess of costs and estimated profits of $948,656 and $757,368, respectively, combined with an increase in costs in excess of billings and estimated profits of $370,783.
 
Cash used in investing activities was $58,712, comprised of $46,212 for the purchase of property and equipment and $12,500 of earn-out payments associated with the CIS acquisition.
 
Cash used in financing activities was $1,863,481, all of which represents the net repayments of bank loans and other debt.
 
Borrowings under the revolving credit facility were $2,635,898 at March 31, 2010 and were $4,335,898 at December 31, 2009.  On October 6, 2008, the Company executed an amendment to its revolving credit agreement with TD Bank, increasing its line of credit from $4 million to $8 million. On November 11, 2009 the term of the revolving credit agreement  was extended to June 30, 2011. As part of this extension, interest will continue be paid monthly in arrears at TD Bank’s prime rate, however, interest will now be subject to a minimum floor rate of 4.0%. The Company is required to maintain certain financial and reporting covenants and restrictions on dividend payments under the terms of the Loan Agreement with TB Bank, N.A. (See Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).
 
Backlog and Bookings
 
Booked orders increased $3,044,260 to $14,785,023 in the first quarter of 2010, as compared to $11,740,763 same quarter of 2009.

The Company’s backlog of $30,365,525 at March 31, 2010 increased $10,231,731 from the March 31, 2009 backlog of 20,133,794.  The principal drivers of this increase were increase bookings in our New Jersey / New York, Texas and California operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Disclosure of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2009.  Some of these policies require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts in the Company’s financial statements.
 
Forward Looking Statements
 
When used in this discussion, the words "believes", "anticipates", "contemplated", "expects", or similar expressions are intended to identify forward looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Those risks and uncertainties include changes in interest rates, the ability to control costs and expenses, significant variations in recognized revenue due to customer caused delays in installations, cancellations of contracts by our customers, and general economic conditions which could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to those forward looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after this date or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
 
Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
We have one revolving credit facility for which the interest rate on outstanding borrowings is variable and is based upon the prime rate of interest, subject to a minimum floor rate of 4.0%.  At March 31, 2010, there was $2,635,898 outstanding under this credit facility.

Our business is impacted by the health of the U.S economy.  Current economic conditions have caused a decline in business spending which has adversely affected our business and financial performance and our operating results.  Accordingly, our business and financial performance has been adversely affected by current economic conditions, and any future deterioration of economic conditions, could cause a further reduction in the availability of credit in the capital markets to our customers.
 
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
 
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of March 31, 2010.   Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of March 31, 2010, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
 
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, management did not identify any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
