THERMODYNETICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 AND 2010
(UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The financial information included herein is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. The results of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
 
 
NOTE 2: GOING CONCERN
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.  However, the Company has sustained substantial operating losses in recent years, has used substantial amounts of working capital in its operations and at September 30, 2011, current liabilities exceed current assets by approximately $1,591,000.  The Company is currently in default on their line of credit and its long-term mortgages, yet at September 30, 2011, the Company is current on both primary mortgages for each of the buildings, and is current on its interest payments against the line of credit.  Rental income from the commercial buildings is now collected by the Bank and those proceeds are utilized for the principal and interest payments on the mortgages, with all remaining cash utilized to pay principal and interest on the line of credit.   During June 2010, the bank commenced two legal proceedings (Note 9).  Certain of the Company’s assets are being offered for sale which, upon consummation of a successful sale, would be expected to cure the defaults; no assurance can be given that successful sales can be accomplished.
 
In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon curing defaults, satisfying current liabilities and the success of future operations.  Management believes that actions presently being taken, along with management’s future plans to raise cash through the sale of long-term assets, provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

 
NOTE 3: INVESTMENT IN TURBOTEC PRODUCTS, PLC
 
The Company’s investment in Turbotec Products Plc, (the “PLC”), is carried at market value at September 30, 2011 and is included in marketable securities on the balance sheet.  The Company currently holds a 21.18% investment in the PLC.
 
Included in rental income on the income statement is $137,000 and $279,000 from the PLC, for the six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Additionally, included in receivables on the balance sheet are net amounts from the PLC which represent pass-through rent amounts.  The balances are $42,000 and $42,000 at September 30, 2011 and 2010 respectively.
 
 
NOTE 4: COMMERCIAL LEASES

The Company and Turbotec Products, Inc. entered into a real estate lease that expires December 31, 2012 for approximately 52,500 square feet at 651 Day Hill Road, Windsor, CT.  Rent charges are equal to five dollars per square foot triple net; monthly rent equals $21,875 plus triple net expenses.  Turbotec is in the process of relocating its operations to North Carolina and plans to complete the move by December 31, 2012.

On June 28, 2010 the Bank commenced legal action.  See Notes 2 and 9 for further discussion.
 
 
NOTE 8: DISTRIBUTION OF SUBSIDIARY STOCK

Thermodynetics distributed a dividend to shareholders of record on July 15, 2011 in a spin-off transaction, with the distribution effected on or about August 5, 2011. The dividend was distributed to shareholders who, on the record date, were owners of at least 1,000 shares of Thermodynetics common stock; they received shares of TPI Systems, Inc. ("TPI") on a one-for-one (1:1) pro rata basis. All other Thermodynetics shareholders, being those holding less than 1,000 shares of Thermodynetics, received a distribution of $0.0002 per share for each of the shares, pro rata, they owned of Thermodynetics as of the record date. There is no effect on any holdings in Thermodynetics.

The parent owns 1,000,000 shares of TPI and is in the process of issuing additional shares to increase its ownership to approximately 16%.
 
 
NOTE 9: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
There are no material legal proceedings known or threatened against the Company, except:
 
 
7

 

 
 
a)
The lawsuit instituted by the Company on January 8, 2008 in England against Turbotec Products Plc was concluded in February 2010.  A judgment in favor of the Company on one count and against it on two counts was rendered on May 10th, 2010.  The net effect of the London judgment held that the Company was required to reimburse the PLC for a portion of the PLC’s legal expenses which was negotiated to a sum of £560,000, and that amount has been paid; £350,000 was paid in May 2010, and £210,000 was paid in July 2011.

 
b)
Turbotec Products, Inc. commenced a lawsuit against Thermodynetics on February 27th, 2008 in the Connecticut Superior Court, Judicial District of Hartford.  The parties settled the lawsuit and on January 10th, 2011 mutual releases were exchanged, and the lawsuit was dismissed without any financial obligation owed to either party.

 
c)
The Company's bank initiated and served two separate lawsuits on June 28th, 2010 against the Company in the Connecticut Superior Court, Judicial District of Hartford, alleging defaults of a line of credit and certain mortgages and seeking recovery through foreclosure of the liens against the two commercial buildings.  Negative outcomes in either of such proceedings will have a material adverse effect upon the Company.  At September 30, 2011, the Company was current on both primary mortgages and was current on its interest payments against the line of credit which had matured in 2009.  The default initially was against the line of credit which has not been repaid and the bank has claimed a cross-default against the mortgages.  The Company believes there is material equity in the buildings exceeding the value of all of the bank debt.  The current balance due under the line of credit and mortgages equals approximately $2.22 million at September 30, 2011; the Bank is claiming such balance plus costs and legal expenses of the proceeding.  In the event the bank is successful in its foreclosure proceedings and a qualified buyer for the properties is not secured, the loss to the Company could exceed the amounts due under the line of credit and mortgages.  However, in the event of a strict foreclosure, under Connecticut foreclosure law, a court would apply a fair market value to the properties and buildings based upon a then to be appraised value as of the date title vested in the bank; therefore, the likely risk of loss to the Company would be the loss of the land and buildings but not further financial deficiency claims.  Both properties are currently listed for sale with a commercial real estate broker, and management would also consider any long-term lease opportunities.  A trial date is set for June 12, 2012.

Item 2.                      Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Results of Operations.

Fiscal 2012 Compared to 2011

The Company is engaged in managing its real estate and investing in other companies.

Income in both the three months and six months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011 resulted from rental income.  Our smaller building has been vacant since April 1, 2011.  The tenant for the main building is leasing that building under a lease that was to terminate on December 31, 2011 but the lease has been extended to December 31, 2012; the extension contains certain termination clauses that will require the tenant to vacate within 75 days of the notice to terminate should the building be sold earlier than the lease term.  Both buildings are being marketed for sale.

In June 2011 the Company acquired the rights to a software program that is to be marketed in the wagering industry.  The software is designed to assist individuals in selecting winning wagers in horse racing events.
 
During the first and third quarters of the 2011 fiscal year, the Company disposed of a portion of its holdings in Turbotec and now owns approximately 21% of that company.  Net proceeds of approximately $1.67 million was received and used primarily to pay litigation costs, as well as certain operating costs.  In addition, the Company made adjustments to its investment portfolio and both purchased and sold securities.

The Company recorded a loss in both fiscal 2011 and 2012 for both the three and six months periods ended September 30.  Operating expenses decreased in fiscal 2011 largely reflecting a reduction in litigation costs.

The Company’s bank is attempting to foreclose on the two mortgages and the Company intends to assert its defenses; the Company is attempting to sell the buildings at realistic prices in today’s market.

In August 2011, the Company issued a dividend consisting of a cash payment and a stock dividend of its previously 100% owned subsidiary, TPI Systems, Inc.  A cash distribution was issued to Thermodynetics shareholders who owned less than 1,000 shares of Thermodynetics on the July 15, 2011 record date and a one share for one share distribution of TPI Systems to all other shareholders of Thermodynetics.  The holdings of the Company are being adjusted to reflect that after the dividend distribution, the Company will own approximately 16% of TPI.

Fiscal 2011 Compared to 2010

The Company is engaged in managing its real estate and business holdings, offering consulting services to, and investing in, other companies. The Company competes with other companies which have been established for a longer period of time, are larger, and possess substantially greater financial resources and substantially larger staffs. No assurances can be given that the Company will be able to successfully compete with such firms.

The London trial severely impacted the cash resources of the Company and as a result it was decided to sell a portion of the holdings of the Company.  

 
9

 
 
During the latest six month period, the Company disposed of slightly more than 26% of its stockholdings in Turbotec Products Plc reducing its holdings to below 30%.  That transaction followed an unexpected decision from the London trial which decision awarded costs to Turbotec and which preliminary amount was paid from the proceeds of the stock sale.  Other pressing and overdue payables were also paid from the sale proceeds.

Rental income is expected to materially decline unless new tenants are secured.  Rental income for the smaller of the two buildings owned by the Company was consistent with prior periods, but going forward, one tenant has vacated its leased space as of September 30, 2010 and the other tenant plans to vacate upon the lease termination on March 31, 2011.  The Company expects to extend the lease for the larger building with the tenant and negotiations are currently being conducted.  The two properties are being marketed for sale or lease.

The Company's bank began foreclosure proceedings in June 2010 as the line of credit had not been repaid after it matured in July 2009.  Discussions with the bank were held in August 2010 and it is anticipated that a resolution without foreclosure may result to allow the buildings securing the obligations to be sold and thereby repay the bank all sums due.  The Company believes there is material equity value in the buildings exceeding the value of all of the bank debt.  Both buildings are currently listed for sale with a commercial real estate broker.

Liquidity.

The Company’s working capital position was negative at September 30, 2010 and 2011.  It is anticipated that future working capital will be generated by the sale of assets and through rental of its larger building, although no assurance can be given that these efforts will be successful.

At July 13, 2009, the Company’s line of credit was due to be repaid and the lender has initiated foreclosure proceedings.

Cash was generated from short term borrowings and the sale of assets as well as from rents received.

The Company anticipates collection of rents to be applied against its defaulted bank loans, through December 31, 2012.  The rental payments applied against the mortgages are adequate to meet the original payment requirements of principal and interest; the excess is being applied by the bank to pay the interest due on the line of credit and also to reduce the principal owed on the mortgages.

 
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.
Legal Proceedings.
 

There are no material legal proceedings known or threatened against the Company, except:

(a)           The lawsuit instituted by the Company on January 8, 2008 in England against Turbotec Products Plc was concluded in February, 2010.  A judgment in favor of the Company on one count and against it on two counts was rendered on May 10th, 2010.  The net effect of the London judgment held that the Company was required to reimburse the PLC for 85% of the PLC’s legal expenses was negotiated to a sum of £560,000, and that amount has been paid; £350,000 was paid in May 2010, and £210,000 was paid in July 2011.

(b)           Turbotec Products, Inc. commenced a lawsuit against Thermodynetics on February 27th, 2008 in the Connecticut Superior Court, Judicial District of Hartford.  The parties settled the lawsuit and on January 10th, 2011 mutual releases were exchanged, and the lawsuit was dismissed without any financial obligation owed to either party.

(c)           The Company's bank initiated and served two separate lawsuits on June 28th, 2010 against the Company in the Connecticut Superior Court, Judicial District of Hartford, alleging defaults of a line of credit and certain mortgages and seeking recovery through foreclosure of the liens against the two commercial buildings.  Negative outcomes in either of such proceedings will have a material adverse effect upon the Company.  At June 30th, 2011, the Company was current on both primary mortgages and was current on its interest payments against the line of credit which had matured in 2009.  The default initially was against the line of credit which has not been repaid and the bank has claimed a cross-default against the mortgages.  The Company believes there is material equity in the buildings exceeding the value of all of the bank debt.  The current balance due under the line of credit and mortgages equals approximately $2.22 million at September 30, 2011; the Bank is claiming such balance plus costs and legal expenses of the proceeding.  In the event the bank is successful in its foreclosure proceedings and a qualified buyer for the properties is not secured, the loss to the Company could exceed the amounts due under the line of credit and mortgages.  However, in the event of a strict foreclosure, under Connecticut foreclosure law, a court would apply a fair market value to the properties and buildings based upon a then to be appraised value as of the date title vested in the bank; therefore, the likely risk of loss to the Company would be the loss of the land and buildings but not further financial deficiency claims.  Both properties are currently listed for sale with a commercial real estate broker, and management would also consider any long-term lease opportunities.  A trial date is set for June 12, 2012.
