SWISHER HYGIENE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
NOTE 1 — BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Principal Operations
     Swisher Hygiene Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company” or “we” or “our”) provide essential hygiene and sanitation solutions to customers throughout much of North America and internationally through its global network of company owned operations, franchises and master licensees. These solutions include essential products and services that are designed to promote superior cleanliness and sanitation in commercial environments, while enhancing the safety, satisfaction and well-being of employees and patrons. These solutions are typically delivered by employees on a regularly scheduled basis and involve providing our customers with: (i) consumable products such as soap, paper, cleaning chemicals, detergents, and supplies, together with the rental and servicing of dish machines and other equipment for the dispensing of those products; (ii) the rental of facility service items requiring regular maintenance and cleaning, such as floor mats, mops, bar towels and linens; (iii) manual cleaning of their facilities; and (iv) solid waste collection services. We serve customers in a wide range of end-markets, with a particular emphasis on the foodservice, hospitality, retail, industrial, and healthcare industries. In addition, our solid waste collection services provide services primarily to commercial and residential customers through contracts with municipalities or other agencies.
     The Company has company owned operations and franchise operations located throughout the United States and Canada and has entered into 10 Master License Agreements covering the United Kingdom, Ireland, Portugal, the Netherlands, Singapore, the Philippines, Taiwan, Korea, Hong Kong/Macau/China, and Mexico.
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
     The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and therefore do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP and the SEC for annual financial statements. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that management believes are necessary for the fair presentation of their financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. The information at December 31, 2010 in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets included in this quarterly report was derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheets included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011. The Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, together with the information included in such report, is referred to in this quarterly report as the “2010 Annual Report.” This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the 2010 Annual Report.
     All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain adjustments have been made to conform prior periods to the current year presentation.
Use of Estimates
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could affect the results of operations reported in future periods.
     The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2010 Annual Report. Any significant changes to those policies or new significant policies are described below.

Table of Contents

Acquisition and merger expenses
     Acquisition and merger expenses include costs directly related to the acquisition of three of our franchises and fifteen independent businesses during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and the acquisition of seven of our franchises and twenty-five independent businesses during the six months ended June 30, 2011. Acquisition and merger expenses also include costs directly-related to the merger with CoolBrands International, Inc. as discussed in Note 1 of our 2010 Annual Report. These costs include third party due diligence, legal, accounting and professional service expenses.
Segments
     On March 1, 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of Choice Environmental Services, Inc. (“Choice”), a Florida based company that provides a complete range of solid waste and recycling collection, transportation, processing and disposal services. As a result of the acquisition of Choice, the Company now has two segments: (1) Hygiene and (2) Waste. The Company’s hygiene segment primarily provides commercial hygiene services and products throughout much of the United States, and additionally operates a worldwide franchise and license system to provide the same products and services in markets where Company owned operations do not exist. The Company’s waste segment primarily consists of the operations of Choice and acquisitions of solid waste collection businesses. Prior to the acquisition of Choice, the Company managed, allocated resources, and reported in one segment, Hygiene. See Note 14 for segment disclosures.
Adoption of Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements
     Revenue Recognition: In October 2009, the FASB issued new standards for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. These new standards affect the determination of when individual deliverables included in a multiple-element arrangement may be treated as separate units of accounting. In addition, these new standards modify the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across separately identified deliverables, eliminate the use of the residual value method of allocating arrangement consideration and require expanded disclosure. These new standards became effective for multiple-element arrangements entered into or materially modified on or after January 1, 2011. Earlier application was permitted with required transition disclosures based on the period of adoption. We adopted these standards for multiple-element arrangements entered into or materially modified on or after January 1, 2011. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
     Goodwill: In December 2010, the FASB issued new standards defining when step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts should be performed and modifies step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts an entity is required to perform step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The standards are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010 and were effective for the Company on January 1, 2011. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
     Business Combinations: In December 2010, the FASB issued new standards that clarify that if comparative financial statements are presented the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The update also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures 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. The standards are effective prospectively for material (either on an individual or aggregate basis) 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, with early adoption permitted. The Company has included the required disclosures in Note 3.
Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements
     Comprehensive Income: In June 2011, the FASB issued new standards to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. This standard eliminates the option to present components of other

8


Table of Contents

comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. These standards are to be applied retrospectively and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of these standards on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
     Fair Value Measurements: In May 2011, the FASB issued new standards clarifying the wording used to describe the requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements and expands fair value disclosures. These standards are to be applied prospectively and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of these standards on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
NOTE 3 — ACQUISITIONS
Choice Acquisition
     On February 13, 2011, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Choice Agreement”) with Swsh Merger Sub, Inc., a Florida corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Choice, and other parties, as set forth in the Choice Agreement. The Choice Agreement provided for the acquisition of Choice by the Company by way of merger.
     In connection with the merger with Choice, on February 23, 2011, we entered into an agency agreement, which the agents agreed to market, on a best efforts basis 12,262,500 subscription receipts (“Subscription Receipts”) at a price of $4.80 per Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of up to $58,859,594. Each Subscription Receipt entitled the holder to acquire one share of our common stock, without payment of any additional consideration, upon completion of our acquisition of Choice.
     On March 1, 2011, we closed the acquisition of Choice and issued 8,281,920 shares of our common stock to the former shareholders of Choice and assumed $40,941,484 of debt, which $39,219,160 was paid down with proceeds from the private placement of the Subscription Receipts. In addition, certain shareholders of Choice received $5,700,000 in cash and warrants to purchase an additional 918,076 shares at an exercise price of $6.21, which expired on March 31, 2011 and were not exercised.
     On March 1, 2011, in connection with the closing of the acquisition of Choice, the 12,262,500 Subscription Receipts were exchanged for 12,262,500 shares of our common stock. We agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file a resale registration statement with the SEC relating to the shares of common stock underlying the Subscription Receipts. If the registration statement was not filed or declared effective within specified time periods, or if it ceased to be effective for a period of time exceeding certain grace periods, the initial subscribers of Subscription Receipts would be entitled to receive an additional 0.1 share of common stock for each share of common stock underlying Subscription Receipts held by any such initial subscriber at that time. The Company filed a resale registration statement with the SEC relating to the 8,291,920 shares issued to the former shareholders of Choice and the 12,262,500 shares issued in connection with the private placement. The registration statement was effective as of the date of this filing.
     Choice has been in business since 2004 and serves more than 150,000 residential and 7,500 commercial customers in the Southern and Central Florida regions through its 320 employees and over 150 collection vehicles by offering a complete range of solid waste and recycling collection, transportation, processing and disposal services. Choice operates six hauling operations and three transfer and material recovery facilities.
     The following table presents the purchase price consideration as of March 1, 2011:
         
Consideration:
       
Issuance of shares at stock price of $5.89
  $ 48,780,526  
Debt
    40,941,484  
Cash paid
    7,553,784  
 
     
 
  $ 97,275,794  
 
     
     The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is based on the best information available to management. This allocation is provisional, as the Company is required to recognize additional assets or liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of March 1, 2011 that, if known, would have resulted in the

recognition of those assets or liabilities as of that date. The Company may adjust the preliminary purchase price allocation after obtaining additional information regarding asset valuation, liabilities assumed and revisions of previous estimates. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price based on the estimated fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of Choice as of March 1, 2011 as follows:

Hygiene Segment
     The fair value of the customer relationships and contracts acquired is based on future discounted cash flows expected to be generated from those customers. These customer relationships and contracts will be amortized on a straight-line basis over five to ten years, which is primarily based on historical customer attrition rates. The fair value of the non-compete agreements will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the length of the agreements, typically not exceeding five years.
Waste Segment
     The fair value of the customer relationships and contracts acquired is based on future discounted cash flows expected to be generated from contracts with municipalities and customers. These customer relationships and contracts will be amortized on a straight-line basis over seven years, which is the weighted average of the estimated life of the contracts acquired. The fair value of the non-compete agreements will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the length of the agreements, typically not exceeding five years.
NOTE 5 — EQUITY
Choice
     As part of the purchase price of Choice we issued 8,281,920 shares of our common stock to the previous shareholders of Choice. See Note 3.
Private placements
     As discussed in Note 3, on March 1, 2011, in connection with the closing of the Choice acquisition, the 12,262,500 Subscription Receipts were exchanged for 12,262,500 shares of our common stock. As part of this transaction, we received cash of $56,253,791, net of issuance costs.
     In addition, on March 22, 2011, we entered into a series of arm’s length securities purchase agreements to sell 12,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $5.00 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $60,000,000 to certain funds of a global financial institution (the “Private Placement”). We intend to use the proceeds from the Private Placement to further our organic and acquisition growth strategy, as well as for working capital purposes. On March 23, 2011, we closed the Private Placement and issued 12,000,000 shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreements, the shares of common stock issued in the Private Placement may not be transferred on or before June 24, 2011 without our consent. We agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file a resale registration statement with the SEC relating to the shares of common stock sold in the Private Placement. If the registration statement was not filed or declared effective within specified time periods, the investors would be entitled to receive liquidated damages in cash equal to one percent of the original offering price for each share that at such time remains subject to resale restrictions. The Company filed a resale registration statement with the SEC relating to the 12,000,000 shares issued in the Private Placement. The registration statement was effective as of the date of this filing.
     On April 15, 2011, we entered into a series of arm’s length securities purchase agreements to sell 9,857,143 shares of our common stock at a price of $7.70 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $75,900,000 to certain funds of a global financial institution. We completed this transaction on April 19, 2011 and intend to use the proceeds from this transaction to further our organic and acquisition growth strategy, as well as for working capital purposes. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreements, following July 24, 2011 the Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file a resale registration statement with the SEC relating to the shares of common stock sold in the private placement. If the registration statement was not filed or declared effective within the specified time periods, the investors would be entitled to receive liquidated damages in cash equal to one percent of the original offering price for each share that at such time remains subject to resale restrictions. The Company filed a resale registration statement with the SEC relating to the 9,857,143 shares. The registration statement was effective as of the date of this filing.

Acquisitions and asset purchases
     We issued a total of 6,310,789 shares of our common stock in connection with certain acquisitions of franchisees and businesses during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Stock based compensation and warrants
     Stock based compensation is the result of the recognition of the fair value of share based compensation on the date of grant over the service period for which the awards are expected to vest. Options to purchase 705,000 shares were exercised at a weighted average exercise price of $0.88 during 2011.
     In May 2011, warrants to purchase 5,500,000 shares with an exercise price of $0.50 in Canadian dollars per warrant issued to a director of CoolBrands and the Company, and certain parties related to the director, were exercised and as a result, we received cash of $2,750,000 in Canadian dollars.

Revolving Credit Facilities
     In March 2011, we entered into a $100 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “credit facility”). Borrowings under the credit facility are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our existing and hereafter acquired assets, including $25 million of cash on borrowings in excess of $75 million. Furthermore, borrowings under the facility are guaranteed by all of our domestic subsidiaries and secured by substantially all the assets and stock of our domestic subsidiaries and substantially all of the stock of our foreign subsidiaries. Interest on

14


Table of Contents

borrowings under the credit facility will typically accrue at London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.5% to 4.0%, depending on the ratio of senior debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) (as such term is defined in the new credit facility, which includes specified adjustments and allowances authorized by the lender, as provided for in such definition). We also have the option to request swingline loans and borrowings using a base rate. Interest is payable monthly or quarterly on all outstanding borrowings. The credit facility matures in July, 2013.
     Borrowings and availability under the credit facility are subject to compliance with financial covenants, including achieving specified consolidated EBITDA levels, which will depend on the success of our acquisition strategy, and maintaining leverage and coverage ratios and a minimum liquidity requirement. The consolidated EBITDA covenant, the leverage and coverage ratios, and the minimum liquidity requirements should not be considered indicative of the Company’s expectations regarding future performance. The credit facility also places restrictions on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, make certain acquisitions, create liens or other encumbrances, sell or otherwise dispose of assets, and merge or consolidate with other entities or enter into a change of control transaction. Failure to achieve or maintain the financial covenants in the credit facility or failure to comply with one or more of the operational covenants could adversely affect our ability to borrow monies and could result in a default under the credit facility. The credit facility is subject to other standard default provisions. We have met all the required covenants under the credit facility as of June 30, 2011.
     The credit facility replaces our prior $25 million aggregated credit facilities, which are discussed in the 2010 Annual Report.
Choice debt assumed and capital lease obligations with related parties
     In connection with the acquisition of Choice, we assumed $40,941,484 of debt of which $39,219,160 was paid off at the time of the acquisition. The remaining debt was recorded at fair value on the date of the acquisition and included in acquisition notes payable above. Payments are made monthly and mature at various dates through August 2018.
     In addition, in connection with the acquisition of Choice we entered into capital leases that have initial terms of five or ten years with companies owned by shareholders of Choice to finance the cost of leasing office buildings and properties, including warehouses. Minimum payments under these capital leases for the next five years are $534,000 each year and $1,920,000 thereafter. We also recorded the fair value of $3,074,000 for these properties leased in property and equipment, which will be depreciated over the term of the respective lease.
Convertible notes
     In February 2011, a 6% convertible promissory note of $5,000,000 due on June 30, 2011 issued as part of total consideration paid for an acquisition was converted into 1,312,864 of the Company’s common shares. Since the convertible note was issued as part of a business combination, the note was recorded at fair value of $6,429,720 on the date of issuance including $5,182,500 recorded as a current liability and $1,247,220 recorded as Additional paid-in capital reflecting the promissory note’s beneficial conversion feature. As of December 31, 2010, the net carrying amount of this promissory note was $6,385,720 ($6,247,220 principal and conversion feature and $138,500 unamortized premium). At December 31, 2010 the fair value of this financial instrument was $6,371,400. This note was fully converted during 2011.
     In addition during 2010, the Company issued convertible promissory notes, which the principal and interest are convertible into a variable number of the Company’s common stock following both (i) conditional approval by the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) of the listing of the shares of Company’s common shares issuable upon conversion of each note and (ii) the date that the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the resale of the Company’s common stock is declared effective by the SEC but not later than the maturity date of each note. The convertible notes had an aggregate principal value of $4,746,480 with interest rates of 4%, mature at various times up to September 30, 2011, and are convertible at conversion rates of between $3.88 and $4.18.
     During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and in connection with certain acquisitions, the Company issued convertible promissory notes with an aggregate principal value of $7,125,000. The notes have a 4% interest rate and are convertible into a maximum aggregate of 3,666,204 shares of our common stock from $4.82 to $5.68. The holder may convert the principal and interest into a variable number of the Company’s common stock at any time following both (i) conditional approval by the TSX of the listing of the shares of Company’s common shares

issuable upon conversion of each note and (ii) the date that the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the resale of the Company’s common stock is declared effective by the SEC but not later than the maturity date of each note.
     During 2011, convertible promissory notes with an aggregate principal value of $13,621,480 and a fair value of $21,194,303 were converted into 3,207,459 shares of our common stock. The remaining notes have an aggregate principal amount $3,250,000 and are convertible into a maximum aggregate of 1,078,635 shares of our common stock from $4.18 to $5.58.
NOTE 7 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
     The Company determines the fair value of certain assets and liabilities based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, or the “exit price.” The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value and gives precedence to observable inputs in determining fair value. The following levels were established for each input:
     Level 1: “Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.”
     Level 2: “Include other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly in the marketplace.”
     Level 3: “Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.”
     The above convertible promissory notes that are convertible into a variable number of shares of the Company’s common stock are recorded at fair value on the date of issuance and each subsequent reporting period. The fair values of these convertible promissory notes are based primarily on a Black-Scholes pricing model. The significant management assumptions and estimates used in determining the fair value include the expected term and volatility of our common stock. The expected volatility was based on an analysis of industry peer’s historical stock price over the term of the notes as we currently do not have sufficient history of our own stock volatility, which was estimated at approximately 25%. Subsequent changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in Other expense, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Future movement in the market price of our stock could significantly change the fair value of these instruments and impact our earnings.
     The convertible promissory notes that are convertible into a variable number of the Company’s shares issued during 2010 and 2011 are Level 3 financial instruments since they are not traded on an active market and there are unobservable inputs, such as expected volatility used to determine the fair value of these instruments.
     In addition during 2011, we issued an earn out that is to be settled in shares within one year from the date of acquisition or once the acquired business’s revenue achieves an agreed upon level. The number of shares that could be issued varies based on the achievement of agreed upon revenue metrics.
The following table is a reconciliation of changes in fair value of these liabilities that have been classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy:
         
Balance as of December 31, 2010
  $ 5,771,480

Financial Instruments
     The Company’s financial instruments, which may expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk, include cash and cash equivalents, account receivables, accounts payable, and debt. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. We have never experienced any losses related to these balances. The carrying amounts of cash and the current portion of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s debt is estimated based on the current borrowing rates available to the Company for bank loans with similar terms and maturities, and approximates the carrying value of these liabilities. In addition the convertible promissory notes are recorded at fair value at each reporting period date.

NOTE 13 — INCOME TAXES
     As a result of the merger with CoolBrands International, Inc. on November 2, 2010, as discussed in Note 1 in the 2010 Annual Report, the Company converted from a corporation taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code to a tax-paying entity and accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company has recorded an estimate for income taxes based on the Company’s projected taxable operating results for the year ending December 31, 2011 and an effective income tax rate of 34.2%.
     In addition, during 2011, the Company reversed the valuation allowance of $2,368,000 recorded as of December 31, 2010 as a result of the Company’s expectation to utilize its deferred tax assets through the generation of future taxable income arising from deferred tax liability balances. The majority of these deferred tax liabilities were recorded as part of the acquisition of Choice on March 1, 2011 as discussed in Note 3.
NOTE 14 — SEGMENTS
     On March 1, 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of Choice, a Florida based company that provides a complete range of solid waste and recycling collection, transportation, processing and disposal services. As a result of the acquisition of Choice, the Company now has two operating segments: (1) Hygiene and (2) Waste. The Company’s hygiene operating segment primarily provides commercial hygiene services and products throughout much of the United States, and additionally operates a worldwide franchise and license system to provide the same products and services in markets where Company owned operations do not exist. The Company’s waste segment primary consists of the operations of Choice and acquisitions of solid waste collection businesses. Prior to the acquisition of Choice, the Company managed, allocated resources, and reported in one segment.
     The following table presents financial information for each of the Company’s reportable segments.

NOTE 15 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
     The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of its business. Although occasional adverse decisions (or settlements) may occur, the Company believes that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
     In connection with a distribution agreement entered into in December 2010, the Company provided a guarantee that the distributor’s operating cash flows associated with the agreement would not fall below certain agreed-to minimums, subject to certain pre-defined conditions, over the ten year term of the distribution agreement. If the distributor’s annual operating cash flow does fall below the agreed-to annual minimums, the Company will reimburse the distributor for any such short fall up to a pre-designated amount. No value was assigned to the fair value of the guarantee at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 based on a probability assessment of the projected cash flows. Management currently does not believe that it is probable that any amounts will be paid under this agreement and thus there is no amount accrued for the guarantee in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. This liability would be considered a Level 3 financial instruments given the unobservable inputs used in the projected cash flow model. See Note 7 for the fair value hierarchy.
NOTE 16 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
     Subsequent to June 30, 2011, the Company acquired several businesses. While the terms, price, and conditions of each of these acquisitions were negotiated individually, consideration to the sellers typically consists of a combination of cash, our common stock, and issuance of debt. Aggregate consideration paid for these acquired businesses was approximately $21.0 million consisting of approximately $14.3 million in cash, 815,726 shares of our common stock, and issuance of promissory notes of approximately $2.1 million.
      In August 2011, the Company entered into agreements to provide borrowings of up to $37.5 million that would be collateralized by the Waste segment’s vehicles and containers and the Company’s technology and related equipment. In connection with these financing agreements, the Company entered into an amendment that modifies the covenants contained in the credit facility, including an increase in permitted indebtedness to $40.0 million. In addition the Company obtained additional financing of up to $25 million for new and replacement vehicles for its fleet.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Business Overview and Outlook
     We provide essential hygiene and sanitation solutions to customers throughout much of North America and internationally through our global network of company owned operations, franchises and master licensees. These solutions include essential products and services that are designed to promote superior cleanliness and sanitation in commercial environments, while enhancing the safety, satisfaction and well-being of employees and patrons. These solutions are typically delivered by employees on a regularly scheduled basis and involve providing our customers with: (i) consumable products such as soap, paper, cleaning chemicals, detergents, and supplies, together with the rental and servicing of dish machines and other equipment for the dispensing of those products; (ii) the rental of facility service items requiring regular maintenance and cleaning, such as floor mats, mops, bar towels and linens; (iii) manual cleaning of their facilities; and (iv) solid waste collection services. We serve customers in a wide range of end-markets, with a particular emphasis on the foodservice, hospitality, retail, industrial, and healthcare industries. In addition, our solid waste collection services provide services primarily to commercial and residential customers through contracts with commercial customers, municipalities, or other agencies.
     Prospectively, we intend to grow in both existing and new geographic markets through a combination of organic and acquisition growth. However, we will continue to focus our investments towards those opportunities which will most benefit our core businesses, which currently are: chemical, facility services, linen rental and supply, and waste collection services. Our revenue outlook for 2011 is approximately $220 million, with current annualized run-rate revenue in excess of $280 million. Run-rate revenue is defined as July 2011 estimated revenue annualized plus the annualized revenue impact of acquisitions since July 2011.
     We have company owned operations and franchise operations located throughout the United States and Canada and have entered into 10 Master License Agreements covering the United Kingdom, Ireland, Portugal, the Netherlands, Singapore, the Philippines, Taiwan, Korea, Hong Kong/Macau/China, and Mexico.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
     The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles involves the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the recorded amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. As such, management is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable based on the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
     Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, the most important and pervasive accounting policies used and areas most sensitive to material changes from external factors. See Note 2 in the 2010 Annual Report for additional discussion of the application of these and other accounting policies. Any significant changes to those policies or new significant policies are described below.
     For the six months ended June 30, 2011, there were no changes in the methodology for computing critical accounting estimates and no material changes to the important assumptions underlying the critical accounting estimates.
Segments
     On March 1, 2011, we completed our acquisition of Choice Environmental Services, Inc. (“Choice”), a Florida based company that provides a complete range of solid waste and recycling collection, transportation, processing and disposal services. As a result of the acquisition of Choice, we now have two segments (1) Hygiene and (2) Waste. The Company’s hygiene segment primarily provides commercial hygiene services and products throughout much of the United States, and additionally operates a worldwide franchise and license system to provide the same products and services in markets where Company owned operations do not exist. The Company’s waste segment primarily consists of the operations of Choice and acquisitions of solid waste collection businesses. Prior to the acquisition of Choice the Company managed, allocated resources, and reported in one segment, Hygiene. See Note 14 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 have been presented in the Company’s segments.

Acquisition and merger expenses
     Acquisition and merger expenses include costs directly-related to the acquisition of three of our franchises and fifteen independent businesses during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and the acquisition of seven of our franchises and twenty-five independent businesses during the six months ended June 30, 2011. Acquisition and merger expenses also include costs directly-related to the merger with CoolBrands International, Inc. as discussed in Note 1 of our 2010 Annual Report. These costs include third party due diligence, legal, accounting and professional service expenses.
Adoption of Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements
     Revenue Recognition: In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new standards for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. These new standards affect the determination of when individual deliverables included in a multiple-element arrangement may be treated as separate units of accounting. In addition, these new standards modify the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across separately identified deliverables, eliminate the use of the residual value method of allocating arrangement consideration and require expanded disclosure. These new standards will become effective for multiple-element arrangements entered into or materially modified on or after January 1, 2011. Earlier application is permitted with required transition disclosures based on the period of adoption. We adopted these standards for multiple-element arrangements entered into or materially modified on or after January 1, 2011. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
     Goodwill: In December 2010, the FASB issued new standards defining when step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts should be performed and modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The standards are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning December 15, 2010 and were effective for the Company on January 1, 2011. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
     Business Combinations: In December 2010, the FASB issued new standards that clarify that if comparative financial statements are presented the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The update also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures 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. The standards are effective prospectively for material (either on an individual or aggregate basis) 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, with early adoption permitted. The Company has included the required disclosures in Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements
     Comprehensive Income: In June 2011, the FASB issued new standards to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. This standard eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. These standards are to be applied retrospectively and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of these standards on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
     Fair Value Measurements: In May 2011, the FASB issued new standards clarifying the wording used to describe the requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements and expands fair value disclosures. These standards are to be applied prospectively and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of these standards on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011 AND 2010
     During the year ended December 31, 2010, we acquired four franchises and five independent businesses. In addition we acquired three franchises and fifteen independent businesses during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and seven franchises and twenty-five independent businesses during the six months ended June 30, 2011. The term “Hygiene Acquisitions” refers to the three franchises and twelve independent hygiene and chemical businesses acquired during the three months ended June 30, 2011 or the seven franchises and twenty-two hygiene and chemical independent businesses acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2011. The waste segment includes Choice, acquired in March 2011, and two additional acquisitions of solid waste and collection companies during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. We refer to these acquisitions as “Waste Acquisitions.” The term “Acquisitions” refers to both the Hygiene Acquisitions and Waste Acquisitions during the respective periods.
Revenue
     We derive our revenue through the delivery of a wide-variety of essential hygiene and sanitation products and services. We deliver hygiene products and services on a regularly scheduled basis which include providing our customers with (i) consumable products such as soap, paper, cleaning chemicals, detergents, and supplies, together with the rental and servicing of dish machines and other equipment for the dispensing of those products; (ii) the rental of facility service items requiring regular maintenance and cleaning, such as floor mats, mops, bar towels, and linens; (iii) manual cleaning of their facilities; and (iv) solid waste collection and recycling services. We serve customers in a wide range of end-markets, with a particular emphasis on the foodservice, hospitality, retail, industrial, and healthcare industries. Our waste segment provides services primarily to commercial and residential customers through contracts with commercial customers, municipalities, or other agencies.
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011 AND 2010

     Consolidated selling, general, and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased $18,025,589 or 135% as compared to the same period of 2010. This increase includes $5,059,358 related to Waste Acquisitions and $5,392,202 related to Hygiene Acquisitions. Excluding the impact of Acquisitions, selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $7,574,029 or 56.6% to $20,948,379.
     Hygiene compensation for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased $8,956,164 or 95.5% to $18,331,277 as compared to the same period of 2010 and includes an increase of $3,485,372 related to Hygiene Acquisitions. Excluding the impact of Hygiene Acquisitions, hygiene compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 increased $5,470,792 or 58.4% to $14,845,905. This increase was primarily the result of an increase of approximately $3,681,000 in costs and expenses related to our expansion of our corporate, field and distribution sales organizations to accelerate the growth in the our core chemical program, and an increase of approximately $1,789,792 of salaries and other costs largely associated with our transition from a private company to a public company, which includes $1,331,639 for stock based compensation.
     Occupancy expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased $483,605 or 29.7% to $2,110,700 as compared to the same period of 2010, which includes an increase of $389,793 related to Acquisitions. Excluding the impact of these acquisitions, occupancy expenses for six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the same period of 2010, increased $93,812 or 5.8%.
     Other expenses for six months ended June 30, 2011 increased $3,342,462 or 141% to $5,714,604 as compared to the same period in 2010 and includes an increase of $1,040,068 for Hygiene Acquisitions. Excluding the impact of these acquisitions, other expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period of 2010, increased $2,302,394 or 97.1% to $4,674,536. This increase was primarily due to the expansion of our business and included increases in: (i) marketing expenses of $273,000, (ii) insurance of $486,000, (iii) travel costs of $250,000, and (iv) professional fees of $1,293,394 associated with being a public company.
Acquisition and merger expenses
     Acquisition and merger expenses of $4,091,236 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 include costs of $2,146,878 directly-related to the acquisition of our seven franchisees and twenty-five independent companies during the six months ended June 30, 2011. In addition $1,944,358 of these costs is related to the merger with

CoolBrands International, Inc. These costs include costs for third party due diligence, legal, accounting and professional service expenses.
Depreciation and amortization
          Depreciation and amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased $6,665,637 or 313% to $8,792,376 as compared to $2,126,739 during the same period of 2010. This increase includes $5,190,441 for Acquisitions.
          The increase for Acquisitions is primarily the result of amortization for acquired other intangible assets including customer relationships and non-compete agreements obtained in connection with these acquisitions. The remaining increase is primarily related to depreciation on capital expenditures of $10,061,148 made since June 30, 2010.

          For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the unrealized loss, net consists primarily of $5,656,000 related to the required adjustment for each reporting period for the fair value of the convertible promissory notes. The fair value of these convertible promissory notes is impacted by the market price of our stock. See Note 6 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

29


Table of Contents

increase in capital expenditures of $4,687,748, offset by the release of restrictions on certain cash balances of $5,193,333. Cash paid, net of issuance costs and cash acquired, for acquisitions consists of $7,212,914 for Choice and $60,504,571 for all other acquisitions.
Financing Activities
          For the six months ended June 30, 2011, cash provided by financing activities increased $151,255,964 to $153,684,359, compared with net cash provided by financing activities of $2,428,395 during the same period in 2010. Net cash provided from financing activities consists primarily of: (i) cash received from private placements; (ii) principal payments of debt, including debt assumed in the acquisition of Choice; (iii) proceeds from advances and distributions to shareholders; (iv) net borrowing under credit facilities; and (v) proceeds from stock option and warrant exercises.
          During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we received $191,236,515, net of issuance costs, from the issuance of 34,119,643 shares of our common stock; we repaid $39,219,160 of debt assumed in the acquisition of Choice; and received $3,366,716 from the exercise of stock options and warrants. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010, principal payments on debt increased by $45,107, and net proceeds and payment of shareholder advances decreased by $3,800,000.
     Liquidity and Capital Resources
          We fund the development and growth of our business with cash generated from operations, shareholder advances, bank credit facilities, the sale of equity, third party financing for acquisitions, and capital leases for equipment.
     Revolving credit facilities
          In March 2011, we entered into a $100 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “credit facility”). Borrowings under the credit facility are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our existing and hereafter acquired assets, including $25 million of cash on borrowings in excess of $75 million. Furthermore, borrowings under the facility are guaranteed by all of our domestic subsidiaries and secured by substantially all the assets and stock of our domestic subsidiaries and substantially all of the stock of our foreign subsidiaries. Interest on borrowings under the credit facility will typically accrue at London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.5% to 4.0%, depending on the ratio of senior debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) (as such term is defined in the credit facility, which includes specified adjustments and allowances authorized by the lender, as provided for in such definition). We also have the option to request swingline loans and borrowings using a base rate. Interest is payable monthly or quarterly on all outstanding borrowings. The credit facility matures in July 2013.
          Borrowings and availability under the credit facility are subject to compliance with financial covenants, including achieving specified consolidated EBITDA levels, which will depend on the success of our acquisition strategy, and maintaining leverage and coverage ratios and a minimum liquidity requirement. The consolidated EBITDA covenant, the leverage and coverage ratios, and the minimum liquidity requirements should not be considered indicative of the Company’s expectations regarding future performance. The credit facility also places restrictions on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, make certain acquisitions, create liens or other encumbrances, sell or otherwise dispose of assets, and merge or consolidate with other entities or enter into a change of control transaction. Failure to achieve or maintain the financial covenants in the credit facility or failure to comply with one or more of the operational covenants could adversely affect our ability to borrow monies and could result in a default under the credit facility. The credit facility is subject to other standard default provisions. We were in compliance with such covenants as of June 30, 2011.
          The credit facility replaces our prior $25 million aggregated credit facilities, which are discussed in the 2010 Annual Report.
           In August 2011, the Company entered into agreements to provide borrowings of up to $37.5 million that would be collateralized by the Waste segment’s vehicles and containers and the Company’s technology and related equipment. In connection with these financing agreements, the Company entered into an amendment that modifies the covenants contained in the credit facility, including an increase in permitted indebtedness to $40.0 million. In addition the Company obtained additional financing of up to $25 million for new and replacement vehicles for its fleet.
     Private Placements
          In connection with the merger with Choice, on February 23, 2011, we entered into an agency agreement, which the agents agreed to market, on a best efforts basis 12,262,500 subscription receipts (“Subscription Receipts”) at a price of $4.80 per Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of up to $58,859,594. Each Subscription Receipt entitled

30


Table of Contents

the holder to acquire one share of our common stock, without payment of any additional consideration, upon completion of our acquisition of Choice.
     On March 1, 2011, we closed the acquisition of Choice and issued 8,281,920 shares of our common stock to the former shareholders of Choice and assumed $40,941,484 of debt, of which $39,219,160 was paid down with proceeds from the private placement of the Subscription Receipts, which we received cash of $56,253,791, net of issuance costs.
     In connection with the closing of acquisition of Choice, the 12,262,500 Subscription Receipts were exchanged for 12,262,500 shares of our common stock. We agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file a resale registration statement with the SEC relating to the shares of common stock underlying the Subscription Receipts. If the registration statement was not filed or declared effective within specified time periods, or if it ceases to be effective for a period of time exceeding certain grace periods, the initial subscribers of Subscription Receipts would be entitled to receive an additional 0.1 share of common stock for each share of common stock underlying Subscription Receipts held by any such initial subscriber at that time. The Company filed a resale registration statement with the SEC relating to the 8,281,920 shares issued to the former shareholders of Choice and the 12,262,500 shares issued in connection with the private placement. The registration statement was effective as of the date of this filing.
     On March 22, 2011, we entered into a series of arm’s length securities purchase agreements to sell 12,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $5.00 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $60,000,000 to certain funds of a global financial institution (the “Private Placement”). We intend to use the proceeds from the Private Placement to further our organic and acquisition growth strategy, as well as for working capital purposes.
     On March 23, 2011, we closed the Private Placement and issued 12,000,000 shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreements, the shares of common stock issued in the Private Placement may not be transferred on or before June 24, 2011 without our consent. We agreed to use our commercially reasonable efforts to file a resale registration statement with the SEC relating to the shares of common stock sold in the Private Placement. If the registration statement was not filed or declared effective within specified time periods, the investors will be entitled to receive liquidated damages in cash equal to one percent of the original offering price for each share that at such time remains subject to resale restrictions. The Company filed a resale registration statement with the SEC relating to the 12,000,000 shares issued in the private placement. The registration statement was effective as of the date of this filing.
     On April 15, 2011, we entered into a series of arm’s length securities purchase agreements to sell 9,857,143 shares of our common stock at a price of $7.70 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $75,900,000 to certain funds of a global financial institution. We completed this transaction on April 19, 2011 and we intend to use the proceeds from this transaction to further our organic and acquisition growth strategy, as well as for working capital purposes. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreements, following July 24, 2011 we agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file a resale registration statement with the SEC relating to the shares of common stock sold in the private placement. If the registration statement was not filed or declared effective within the specified time periods, the investors will be entitled to receive liquidated damages in cash equal to one percent of the original offering price for each share that at such time remains subject to resale restrictions. The Company filed a resale registration statement with the SEC relating to the 9,857,143 shares. The registration statement was effective as of the date of this filing.
  Acquisitions
     During the three month period ended June 30, 2011, we paid cash of $55,739,581 for acquisitions. During the six month period ended June 30, 2011, we paid cash of $67,717,485 for acquisitions, which $7,212,914 was for the acquisition of Choice. In addition subsequent to June 30, 2011, we acquired several businesses. While the terms, price, and conditions of each of these acquisitions were negotiated individually, consideration to the sellers typically consists of a combination of cash, our common stock, and debt issued. Aggregate consideration paid for these acquired businesses was approximately $21.0 million consisting of approximately $14.3 million in cash, 815,726 shares of our common stock, and issuance of promissory notes of approximately $2.1 million.

  Cash Requirements
     Our cash requirements for the next twelve months consist primarily of: (i) capital expenditures associated with dispensing equipment, dish machines and other items in service at customer locations, equipment, vehicles, and software; (ii) financing for acquisitions; (iii) working capital; and (iv) payment of principal and interest on borrowings under our credit facility, debt obligations and convertible promissory notes incurred or assumed in connection with acquisitions, and other notes payable for equipment and software.
     As a result of the Private Placements discussed above our cash and cash equivalents increased by $192,153,791 and were $112,434,487 at June 30, 2011. We expect that our cash on hand and the cash flow provided by operating activities will be sufficient to fund working capital, general corporate needs and planned capital expenditure for the next twelve months. However, there is no assurance that these sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our internal growth initiatives or the investments and acquisition activities that we may wish to pursue. If we pursue significant internal growth initiatives or if we wish to acquire additional businesses in transactions that include cash payments as part of the purchase price, we may pursue additional debt or equity sources to finance such transactions and activities, depending on market conditions.
   Financial Instruments — Convertible Promissory Notes
     We determine the fair value of certain convertible debt instruments issued as part of business combinations based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the liabilities. We have used a Black Scholes pricing model to estimate fair value of our convertible promissory notes, which requires the use of certain assumptions such as expected term and volatility of our common stock. The expected volatility was based on an analysis of industry peer’s historical stock price over the term of the notes as we currently do not have our own stock price history. The expected volatility was estimated at approximately 25%. Changes in the fair value of convertible debt instruments are recorded in Other expense, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. We would record approximately $575,000 of expense or income for every $1.00 increase or decrease in our stock price. Increases or decreases in the market value of our stock price could affect the fair value of these instruments and our earnings.
  Income Taxes
     As a result of the merger with CoolBrands International, Inc. in November  2010, as discussed in Note 1 in the in the 2010 Annual Report the Company converted from a corporation taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code to a tax-paying entity and accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Therefore, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company has recorded an estimate for income taxes based on the Company’s projected tax operating results for the year ending December 31, 2011 and an effective income tax rate of 34.2%. The amount of income tax expense or benefit to be recorded in future periods is based on our estimate of the full year’s net income, which we cannot predict with certainty.
     In addition, during 2011, the Company reversed the valuation allowance of $2,368,000 recorded as of December 31, 2010 as a result of the Company’s expectation to utilize its deferred tax assets through the generation of future taxable income arising from deferred tax liability balances. The majority of these deferred tax liabilities were recorded as part of the acquisition of Choice in March  2011 as discussed in Note 3.
  Litigation and Other Contingencies
     We are subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of our business. Although occasional adverse decisions (or settlements) may occur, we believe that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
     Other than operating leases, there are no off-balance sheet financing arrangements or relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, which are often referred to as “special purpose entities.” Therefore, there is no exposure to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise, had we engaged in such relationships.
     In connection with a distribution agreement entered into in December 2010, we provided a guarantee that the distributor’s operating cash flows associated with the agreement would not fall below certain agreed-to minimums, subject to certain pre-defined conditions, over the ten year term of the distribution agreement. If the distributor’s annual operating cash flow does fall below the agreed-to annual minimums, we will reimburse the distributor for any such short fall up to a pre-designated amount. No value was assigned to the fair value of the guarantee at June

Table of Contents

30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 based on a probability assessment of the projected cash flows. Management currently does not believe that it is probable that any amounts will be paid under this agreement and thus there is no amount accrued for the guarantee in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
    Adjusted EBITDA
In addition to net income determined in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures, such as “Adjusted EBITDA”, in assessing our operating performance. We believe the non-GAAP measure serves as an appropriate measure to be used in evaluating the performance of our business. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss excluding the impact of income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense and income, gains on foreign currency, unrealized loss, net, stock based compensation, and third party costs directly related to merger and acquisitions. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of our results. Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure frequently in our decision-making because it provides supplemental information that facilitates internal comparisons to the historical operating performance of prior periods and gives a better indication of our core operating performance. We include this non-GAAP financial measure in our earnings announcement and guidance in order to provide transparency to our investors and enable investors to better compare our operating performance with the operating performance of our competitors. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, and is not intended to represent an alternative measure of, operating results or of cash flows from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
     Under SEC rules, we are required to provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Accordingly, the following is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to our net losses for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
     Our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects, and the prevailing market price and performance of our common stock, may be adversely affected by a number of factors, including the matters discussed below. Certain statements and information set forth in this Form 10-Q, as well as other written or oral statements made from time to time by us or by our authorized executive officers on our behalf, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We intend for our forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and we set forth this statement and these risk factors in order to comply with such safe harbor provisions. You should note that our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q or when made and we undertake no duty or obligation to update or revise our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Although

33


Table of Contents

we believe that the expectations, plans, intentions and projections reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. The risks, uncertainties and other factors that our stockholders and prospective investors should consider include the following:
    We have a history of significant operating losses and as such our future revenue and operating profitability are uncertain;
 
    We may be harmed if we do not penetrate markets and grow our current business operations;
 
    We may require additional capital in the future and no assurance can be given that such capital will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all;
 
    Failure to attract, train, and retain personnel to manage our growth could adversely impact our operating results;
 
    We may not be able to properly integrate the operations of acquired businesses and achieve anticipated benefits of cost savings or revenue enhancements;
 
    We may incur unexpected costs, expenses, or liabilities relating to undisclosed liabilities of our acquired businesses;
 
    We may recognize impairment charges which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition;
 
    Goodwill resulting from acquisitions may adversely affect our results of operations;
 
    Future issuances of our common stock in connection with acquisitions could have a dilutive effect on your investment;
 
    Future sales of Swisher Hygiene shares by our stockholders could affect the market price of our shares;
 
    Our business and growth strategy depends in large part on the success of our franchisees and international licensees, and our brand reputation may be harmed by actions out of our control that are taken by franchisees and international licensees;
 
    Failure to retain our current customers and renew existing customer contracts could adversely affect our business;
 
    The pricing, terms, and length of customer service agreements may constrain our ability to recover costs and to make a profit on our contracts;
 
    Changes in economic conditions that impact the industries in which our end-users primarily operate in could adversely affect our business;
 
    Our solid waste collection operations are geographically concentrated and are therefore subject to regional economic downturns and other regional factors;
 
    If we are required to change the pricing models for our products or services to compete successfully, our margins and operating results may be adversely affected;
 
    Several members of our senior management team are critical to our business and if these individuals do not remain with us in the future, it could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations;

    The financial condition and operating ability of third parties may adversely affect our business;
 
    The volatility of our raw material costs may adversely affect our operations;
 
    Increases in fuel and energy costs could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition;
 
    Our products contain hazardous materials and chemicals, which could result in claims against us;
 
    We are subject to environmental, health and safety regulations, and may be adversely affected by new and changing laws and regulations, that generate ongoing environmental costs and could subject us to liability;
 
    Future changes in laws or renewal enforcement of laws regulating the flow of solid waste in interstate commerce could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition;
 
    If our products are improperly manufactured, packaged, or labeled or become adulterated, those items may need to be recalled;
 
    Changes in the types or variety of our service offerings could affect our financial performance;
 
    We may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights that are material to our business;
 
    If we are unable to protect our information and telecommunication systems against disruptions or failures, our operations could be disrupted;
 
    Insurance policies may not cover all operating risks and a casualty loss beyond the limits of our coverage could adversely impact our business;
 
    Our current size and growth strategy could cause our revenue and operating results to fluctuate more than some of our larger, more established competitors or other public companies;
 
    Certain stockholders may exert significant influence over corporate action requiring stockholder approval; and
 
    Provisions of Delaware law and our organizational documents may delay or prevent an acquisition of our company, even if the acquisition would be beneficial to our stockholders.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
     We are exposed to market risks, including changes in interest rates and fuel prices. We do not use financial instruments for speculative trading purposes and we do not hold derivative financial instruments that could expose us to significant market risk. We do not currently have any contract with vendors where we have exposure to the underlying commodity prices. In such event, we would consider implementing price increases and pursue cost reduction initiatives; however, we may not be able to pass on these increases in whole or in part to our customers or realize costs savings needed to offset these increases. The following discussion does not consider the effects that an adverse change may have on the overall economy, and it also does not consider actions we may take to mitigate our expose to these changes. We cannot guarantee that the action we take to mitigate these exposures will be successful.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
     We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and

procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2011. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2011
     There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
     We may be involved in litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty and we cannot assure you that the ultimate resolution of any legal or administrative proceedings or disputes will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
     In our report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on March 31, 2011 (“Form 10-K”), we identify under Item 1A important factors which could affect our financial performance and could cause our actual results for future periods to differ materially from our anticipated results or other expectation, including those expressed in any forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q. See section entitled Forward-Looking Statements located in Part 1, Item 2 of this report. The risk described below supplements the risks described in our Form 10-K.
The volatility of our raw material costs may adversely affect our operations.
     We use a number of key raw materials in our business. The prices of many of these raw materials are cyclical. If we are unable to minimize the effects of increased raw material costs through sourcing or pricing actions, future increases in costs of raw materials could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
     In addition to issuances reported on Current Reports on Form 8-K, we issued the following shares of common stock during the quarter ended June 30, 2011:
  (a)   On April 8, 2011, in connection with the acquisition of certain assets of Q Linen Service Inc., the Company issued 37,479 shares of our common stock to Q Linen Service Inc.;
 
  (b)   On April 11, 2011, in satisfaction of a promissory note issued in connection with the acquisition of certain assets of Budgetchem.com, the Company issued 50,027 shares of our common stock to Jay Felen;
 
  (c)   On April 11, 2011, in connection with the acquisition of Lawson Sanitation LLC, the Company issued 909,090 shares of our common stock to John Lawson, Jr.;
 
  (d)   On April 12, 2011, in connection with the acquisition of Hallmark Sales and Service, Inc., the Company issued 24,437 shares of our common stock to Harry F. Noyes, Jr.;
 
  (e)   On April 14, 2011, in connection with the acquisition of the minority equity interests of Service Tallahassee, LLC, the Company issued 25,000 shares of our common stock to Todd Bierling; and

  (f)   On April 15, 2011, the Company entered into a series of arm’s length securities purchase agreements to sell 9,857,143 shares of our common stock at a price of $7.70 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $75.9 million to certain funds of a global financial institution. The Company completed this private placement on April 19, 2011.
     The issuance of the securities described in paragraphs (a) through (f) above were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act afforded by Section 4(2) thereof and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, which exception Swisher Hygiene believes is available because the securities were not offered pursuant to a general solicitation and such issuances were otherwise made in compliance with the requirements of Regulation D and Rule 506. The securities issued in these transactions are restricted and may not be resold except pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act or pursuant to a valid exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
