PART I

 

Item 1. Business

 

General

 

Since 1983, Helios and Matheson Information Technology Inc (“Helios and Matheson” or the “Company”) has provided high quality IT services and solutions to Fortune 1000 companies and other large organizations. The Company is headquartered in New York City and has a second office in Bangalore, India. The Company's shares are listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol "HMNY".

 

Helios and Matheson Information Technology Ltd. (“Helios and Matheson Parent”), an IT services organization with corporate headquarters in Chennai, India, owns approximately 75% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

 

Controlled Company

 

The Board of Directors has determined that Helios and Matheson meets the definition of a “Controlled Company” as defined by Rule 5615(c) of the NASDAQ Listing Rules. A “Controlled Company” is defined in Rule 5615(c) as a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, group or another company. Certain NASDAQ requirements do not apply to a “Controlled Company”, including requirements that: (i) a majority of its Board of Directors must be comprised of “independent” directors as defined in NASDAQ’s rules; and (ii) the compensation of officers and the nomination of directors be determined in accordance with specific rules, generally requiring determinations by committees comprised solely of independent directors or in meetings at which only the independent directors are present.

 

Industry Background

 

Rapid technological advances, and the wide acceptance and use of the Internet as a driving force in commerce, accelerated the growth of the IT industry. These advances, including more powerful and less expensive computer technology, fueled the transition from predominantly centralized mainframe computer systems to open and distributed computing environments and the advent of capabilities such as relational databases, imaging, software development productivity tools, and web-enabled software. These advances expand the benefits that users can derive from computer-based information systems and improve the price-to-performance ratios of such systems. As a result, an increasing number of companies are employing IT in new ways, often to gain competitive advantages in the marketplace, and IT services have become an essential component of many companies’ long-term growth strategies. The same advances that have enhanced the benefits of computer systems rendered the development and implementation of such systems increasingly complex, popularizing the partnering with IT service providers like the Company for application development, support and related services. Accordingly, organizations turn to external IT services organizations such as Helios and Matheson to develop, support and enhance their internal IT systems.

 

Strategy

 

Helios and Matheson endeavors to provide high-quality, value-based offerings in the areas of Application Value Management, Application Development, Integration, Independent Validation, Infrastructure and Information Management services. The Company believes that a philosophy of intense focus on client satisfaction, business aware solutions and guaranteed delivery provides tangible business value to its client base across banking, financial services, insurance, healthcare, pharmaceutical and manufacturing/automotive verticals.

 

The Company’s goal is to realize consistent growth and competitive advantage through the following strategic initiatives:

 

Expand Existing Client Market Share. The Company endeavors to expand its penetration and market share within its existing client base through client focused sales and marketing initiatives allowing the Company to offer existing clients a broad suite of technology services. The Company’s relationships with current clients provide opportunities to market additional services in current and new geographical markets.

 

Expand Client Base. The Company endeavors to expand its client base particularly in the financial services sector. The Company endeavors to broaden the geography of its client base by offering services to many of its existing clients in their offices outside New York and New Jersey and using such contacts as a gateway into new geographies.

Global Delivery. The Company is dedicated to providing a Flexible Delivery Model to its clients, which allows for dynamically configurable ”right shoring” of service delivery based on client needs.

 

Operational Efficiency. The Company is keeping a tight rein on discretionary expenditures and SG&A to enhance its competitiveness.

 

Helios and Matheson Operations

 

Service Lines. The Company’s services include Application Value Management, Application Development, Integration, Independent Validation, Infrastructure and Information Management services. These services account for approximately 92% of the Company’s revenues.

 

Software. Helios and Matheson markets and distributes software products developed by independent software developers. During 2011, software revenue was approximately 1% of the Company’s total revenues.

 

Clients

 

The Company’s clients consist primarily of Fortune 1000 companies and other large organizations. The Company’s clients operate in a diverse range of industries with a concentration in the financial services, pharmaceutical and manufacturing/automotive industries. The Company’s top five clients measured by revenue for the year ended December 31, 2011 have been clients for over five years. The revenues of the Company’s top three customers represented approximately 76% of the revenues for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2011. The revenues of the Company’s top three customers represented approximately 64% of revenues for the same period in 2010. No other customer represented greater than 10% of the Company’s revenues for such periods. During 2012, the Company expects that a significant portion of its revenues will continue to come from these clients. As indicated above, the Company continues to work positively to expand its client base by offering services to many of its existing clients in their offices outside New York and New Jersey and using such contacts as a gateway into new geographies.

 

Approximately, 100% of all of the Company’s revenues were derived from clients within the United States for each of the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

The Company’s marketing strategy is to develop long-term mutually beneficial relationships with existing and new clients that will lead to the Company becoming a preferred provider of IT services. The Company seeks to employ a "cross selling" approach where appropriate to expand the number of services utilized by a single client. Other sales and marketing methods include client referrals, networking, and attendance at conferences.

 

Competition

 

The market for IT consulting services is intensely competitive, affected by rapid technological advances and includes a large number of competitors. The Company's competitors include the current or former consulting divisions of the “Big Four” accounting firms, major offshore outsourcing companies, systems consulting and implementation firms, application software development firms, management consulting firms, divisions of large hardware and software companies, and niche providers of IT services. Many of these competitors have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than the Company. Competition imposes significant pricing pressures on the Company. Given the substantial improvement in operations during the 2011 fiscal year, the Company expects to improve its competitive presence in the IT Industry going forward.

 

The Company believes that the principal competitive factors in the IT services market include breadth of services offered, industry and technology knowledge, expertise, cost competitiveness, quality of service and responsiveness to client needs. A critical component of the Company’s ability to compete in the marketplace is its ability to attract, develop, motivate and retain skilled professionals.

Human Resources

 

At December 31, 2011, the Company had 26 employees, of whom 20 were client consultants, 2 provided sales and marketing services, 1 provided technical and customer service and 3 were executive, financial and administrative personnel. None of the Company’s employees are represented by a labor union, and the Company has never incurred a work stoppage. In addition to these employees, the Company was utilizing the services of 42 independent contractors at December 31, 2011. These independent contractors act as consultants and they are not employees of the Company.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

Substantially all of the Company’s long-lived assets were located in the United States for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

Intellectual Property Rights

 

The Company relies upon a combination of nondisclosure and other contractual arrangements and trade secret, copyright and trademark laws to protect its proprietary rights and the proprietary rights of third parties from whom the Company licenses intellectual property, but there can be no assurance that the steps taken by the Company in this regard will be adequate to deter misappropriation of proprietary information or that the Company will be able to detect unauthorized use and take appropriate steps to enforce its intellectual property rights. In addition, the Company is subject to the risk of litigation alleging infringement of third-party intellectual property rights. Any such claims could require the Company to spend significant sums in litigation, pay damages, develop non-infringing intellectual property or acquire licenses to the intellectual property which is the subject of the asserted infringement.

 

Effective as of May 02, 2011, the company changed its name from Helios and Matheson North America Inc to Helios and Matheson Information Technology Inc. Management believes that the new name more accurately reflects its business and operations going forward. Further, the name change reflects the Company’s desire to develop long term, mutually beneficial opportunities both in the United States and globally through its association with Helios and Matheson Parent, an information technology services organization with corporate headquarters in Chennai, India and the owner of approximately 75% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Helios and Matheson Parent has granted the Company a non-exclusive right to use the name "Helios and Matheson" and related trademarks, service names and service marks. Helios and Matheson Parent has the right to terminate the Company’s right to use such name and related trademarks and service marks upon each of the following events: (i) the Company duly and properly effectuates a change of the Company's corporate name which change is not consented to or approved by Helios and Matheson Parent; (ii) the Company consummates a business combination or merger, pursuant to which the Company is not the surviving corporation, or the Company consummates a sale of all or substantially all of its assets without the consent or approval of Helios and Matheson Parent and (iii) the Company files, or becomes a debtor subject to, a bankruptcy proceeding which proceeding or filing was not commenced by Helios and Matheson Parent or consented to by Helios and Matheson Parent. The Company could be materially adversely affected if Helios and Matheson Parent terminated the Company’s rights to use such name and the related trademarks and service marks as the Company would be forced to change its name, commence marketing under a new name and would not be able to enjoy the benefits of the Company’s marketing efforts under the name Helios and Matheson. Additionally, the Company is reliant upon Helios and Matheson Parent to protect Helios and Matheson’s trademarks, trade names, service marks and service names.

 

All ownership rights to software developed by the Company in connection with a client engagement are typically assigned to the client. In limited situations, the Company may retain ownership or obtain a license from its client, which permits the Company or a third party to market the software for the joint benefit of the client and the Company or for the sole benefit of the Company.

   

Seasonality

 

The Company’s business has not been affected by seasonality.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

Uncertain Economic Environment

 

Spending on IT consulting services is largely discretionary and will decline during economic downturns or periods of economic uncertainty when the Company’s clients are operating under reduced budgets, including during the current period. A significant portion of the Company’s revenues is derived from sales to customers in the financial services, pharmaceutical and manufacturing/automotive industries. Many of the Company’s major customers in the financial services industry came under significant financial pressure as a result of the recent economic crisis. If the period of economic uncertainty continues or if the economic environment worsens it could further erode the Company’s ability to sell future projects.

 

Reliance on a Small Number of Customers

 

We rely on a small number of customers for a significant portion of our revenue. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the top three customers accounted for 76% of our revenue. During the year ended December 31, 2010, our top three customers accounted for 64% of our revenue. If we were to lose any of these customers, we cannot assure you that they could be replaced quickly or at all. Our loss of any of these customers could have a material adverse affect on our revenues and results of operations.

 

Volatility of Stock Price

 

The Company’s stock was traded on 130 days during 2011 and may be subject to wide fluctuations in price in response to variations in quarterly results of operations and other factors, including financings, technological innovations and general economic or market conditions. Stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume trading volatility in the recent past. This volatility had a substantial effect on the market price of many technology companies that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of those companies. This volatility may adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common stock.

 

Rapid Industry Change

 

The Company’s business is subject to rapid technological change and is dependent on new solutions. The Company’s success will depend in part on its ability to develop information technology solutions to meet client expectations, and offer services and solutions that keep pace with continuing changes in information technology, evolving industry standards and changing client preferences.

 

Item 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

 

Not Required.

 

Item 2. Properties

 

The Company’s executive office was located at 200 Park Avenue South, New York, New York 10003 through January 30, 2012.  During January 2012, the Company and its former landlord entered into an agreement allowing the Company to terminate the lease early in exchange for a payment of approximately $82,500 instead of paying the balance of the rent, which would have been approximately $165,000, as provided for in the lease agreement. This will be recorded during fiscal 2012. The termination payment was deducted from the security deposit already with landlord.

 

On January 19, 2012, Helios and Matheson entered into an Agreement of Lease (the “Lease”) with Empire State Building Company, LLC (Landlord) for the lease of premises located at 350 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10118. The Lease has a term of 63 months. In addition, during the term the rent will be adjusted annually to include adjustments for increases in the cost of living and tax escalations. The Company has deposited with the Landlord approximately $79,000 as security for the performance of the Lease. Effective on the first day of the tenth month of third lease year, this security deposit will be reduced by approximately $26,000 if the Company has never been in default or is not then in default under the Lease. The Company believes the premises are adequate for its operations.

 

In addition, the Company has offices in Bangalore, India and pays a facilities fee that is based on the utilization. The Company is currently using such facilities under a Statement of Work which expires July 31, 2012.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion and analysis of significant factors affecting the Company's operating results and liquidity and capital resources should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes.

 

Overview

 

Helios and Matheson was incorporated in the state of New York in February of 1983 and became a public company in August of 1997. In October of 2009, Helios and Matheson changed its state of incorporation from New York to Delaware. The Company is headquartered in New York City, New York and has a subsidiary in Bangalore, India. The Company provides a wide range of high quality information technology (“IT”) consulting solutions and custom application development services to Fortune 1000 companies and other large organizations. The Company's shares are listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol "HMNY".

 

The Company’s services include Application Value Management, Application Development, Integration, Independent Validation, Infrastructure and Information Management services. The Company believes that a philosophy of intense focus on client satisfaction, business aware solutions and guaranteed delivery provides tangible business value to its client base across banking, financial services, insurance, pharmaceutical and manufacturing/automotive verticals.

 

The Company is dedicated to providing a Flexible Delivery Model to its clients, which allows for dynamically configurable ”right shoring” of service delivery based on client needs.

 

For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2011, approximately 92% of the Company's consulting services revenues were generated from clients under time and materials engagements, with the remainder generated under fixed-price engagements as compared to 93% and 88% for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2010, respectively. The Company has established standard-billing guidelines for consulting services based on the types of services offered. Actual billing rates are established on a project-by-project basis and may vary from the standard guidelines. The Company typically bills its clients for time and materials services on a weekly and monthly basis. Arrangements for fixed-price engagements are made on a case-by-case basis. Consulting services revenues generated under time and materials engagements are recognized as those services are provided. Revenues from fixed fee contracts are recorded when work is performed on the basis of the proportionate performance method, which is based on costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs.

 

The Company's most significant operating cost is its personnel cost, which is included in cost of revenues. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, gross margin was 20.7%.

 

Helios and Matheson actively manages its personnel utilization rates by monitoring project requirements and timetables. Helios and Matheson’s utilization rate for the three and twelve months ending December 31, 2011, was approximately 95% and 93%, respectively as compared to 89% and 91% for the three and twelve months ending December 31, 2010, respectively. As projects are completed, consultants either are re-deployed to new projects at the current client site or to new projects at another client site or are encouraged to participate in Helios and Matheson's training programs in order to expand their technical skill sets.

 

 

Investments

 

On March 30, 2006, Helios and Matheson Parent, an IT services organization with its corporate headquarters in Chennai, India, purchased 409,879 shares of the Company’s common stock from Mr. Shmuel BenTov, the Company’s former Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President and his family members, which represented approximately 43% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. In 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 Helios and Matheson Parent purchased additional shares of the Company’s common stock. Helios and Matheson parent owns 1,743,040 shares of common stock, representing approximately 75% of the shares of the common stock currently outstanding. Helios and Matheson Parent is a publicly listed company on three stock exchanges in India, the National Stock Exchange (NSE), the Stock Exchange, Mumbai (BSE) and Madras Stock Exchange (MSE).

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The methods, estimates and judgments the Company uses in applying its most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results the Company reports in its consolidated financial statements. The Company

evaluates its estimates and judgments on an on-going basis. Estimates are based on historical experience and on assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company’s experience and assumptions form the basis for its judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may vary from what is anticipated and different assumptions or estimates about the future could change reported results. The Company believes the following accounting policies are the most critical to it, in that they are important to the portrayal of its consolidated financial statements and they require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Consulting revenues are recognized as services are provided. The Company primarily provides consulting services under time and material contracts, whereby revenue is recognized as hours and costs are incurred. Customers for consulting revenues are billed on a weekly, semi-monthly or monthly basis. Revenues from fixed fee contracts are recorded when work is performed on the basis of the proportionate performance method, which is based on costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs. Any anticipated contract losses are estimated and accrued at the time they become known and estimable. Unbilled receivables represent amounts recognized as revenue based on services performed in advance of customer billings. Revenue from sales of software licenses is recognized upon delivery of the software to a customer because future obligations associated with such revenue are insignificant.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company monitors its accounts receivable balances on a monthly basis to ensure that they are collectible. On a quarterly basis, the Company uses its historical experience to accurately determine its accounts receivable reserve. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts is an estimate based on specifically identified accounts as well as general reserves. The Company evaluates specific accounts where it has information that the customer may have an inability to meet its financial obligations. In these cases, management uses its judgment, based on the best available facts and circumstances, and records a specific reserve for that customer, against amounts due, to reduce the receivable to the amount that is expected to be collected. These specific reserves are reevaluated and adjusted as additional information is received that impacts the amount reserved. The Company also establishes a general reserve for all customers based on a range of percentages applied to aging categories. These percentages are based on historical collection and write-off experience. If circumstances change, the Company’s estimate of the recoverability of amounts due the Company could be reduced or increased by a material amount. Such a change in estimated recoverability would be accounted for in the period in which the facts that give rise to the change become known.

 

Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets

 

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of the Company, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company assesses the recoverability of deferred tax assets at least annually based upon the Company’s ability to generate sufficient future taxable income and the availability of effective tax planning strategies.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company uses the modified prospective application method as specified by the FASB whereby compensation cost is recognized over the remaining service period based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as calculated for pro forma disclosures as originally issued.

Results of Operations

 

The following table sets forth the percentage of revenues of certain items included in the Company’s Statements of Operations:

 

   Year Ended December 31, 
   2011   2010 
Revenues   100.0%   100.0%
Cost of revenues   79.3%   79.3%
Gross profit   20.7%   20.7%
Operating expenses   19.0%   27.8%
Profit/(Loss) from operations   1.7%   (7.1)%
Net Profit/(loss)   1.7%   (7.1)%

 

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2011 to Year Ended December 31, 2010

 

 

Revenues. Revenues of the Company decreased by $1.1 million or 8.1% from $13.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 to $12.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable to decline in consulting revenue due to difficulty in replacing completed projects and a pushback of new assignments from existing clients primarily as a result of the continuing economic uncertainty still adversely affecting spending on IT services.

 

Gross Profit. The resulting gross profit for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 was $2.5 million, a decrease of $221,000 or 8% from the 2010 comparable period amount of $2.8 million. As a percentage of total revenue, gross margin for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was 20.7%.

 

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses are comprised of Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses and depreciation and amortization. Operating expenses decreased by $1,373,000, or 37.2% from $3.69 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 to $2.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in SG&A was associated with various cost reduction initiatives including, but not limited to, renegotiation with major vendors and process restructuring, leading to higher efficiency.

 

Taxes. Taxes increased by $7,700 from $4,500 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 to $12,200 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded a tax provision of $17,500 for minimum state taxes, and provision to return adjustments of ($5,200) from the filing of state and federal tax returns. In addition, deferred taxes were not impacted by the pre-tax net income since such amounts were fully reserved as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

Net Profit. As a result of the above, the Company had a net profit of $203,000 or $0.09 per basic and diluted share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 compared to a net loss of ($940,000) or ($0.56) per basic and diluted share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010. For the three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company had a net profit of $239,000 which is partly attributable to a reduction in accrual due to favorable collection of old receivables and the reduction of various other accruals favorably negotiated during the quarter.

  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company believes that its business, operating results and financial condition have been affected by the recent economic crisis and ongoing economic uncertainty which continue to impact the IT spending of its clients. A significant portion of the Company’s major customers are in the financial services industry and came under considerable pressure as a result of the unprecedented economic conditions in the financial markets. Spending on IT consulting services is largely discretionary, and the Company has experienced a pushback of new assignments and high margin projects from existing clients. Yet, the Company has reported profits during 2011 as compared to a loss of ($940,000) in 2010. The Company had an operating profit of approximately $211,000 and a net profit of approximately $203,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, the Company had an operating loss of approximately ($941,000) and a net loss of approximately ($940,000). The new lease at Empire State Building requires annual payment of $109,928 during 2012.

The Company's cash balances were approximately $2 million at December 31, 2011 as compared to $1.7 million at December 31, 2010. Net cash provided by operating activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 was approximately $358,000 compared to net cash used in operating activities of approximately $1.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010.

 

The Company's accounts receivable, less allowance for doubtful accounts, at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $1.7 million and $2.2 million, respectively, representing 52 days and 61 days of sales outstanding (“DSO) respectively. The Company believes DSO of 52 days and 61 days in 2011 and 2010 is consistent with favorable resolutions of a limited number of dated client disputes. The Company has provided an allowance for doubtful accounts at the end of each of the periods presented. After giving effect to this allowance, the Company does not anticipate any difficulty in collecting amounts due.

 

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, revenues from the Company’s two largest customers represented 68% of revenues. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, the Company had revenues from three customers, which represented 64% of revenues. No other customer represented greater than 10% of the Company's revenues for such periods.

 

Net cash provided by/(used in) investing activities was approximately $0 and ($13,000), for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In 2010, this included additions to property and equipment of $22,000 for purchasing a leased vehicle. During 2010, additions were offset by disposals totaling $12,000.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $0 and $2,000,000 (which included a $2.0 million cash infusion from Helios and Matheson Parent) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively.

 

In management's opinion, cash flows from operations combined with cash on hand will provide adequate flexibility for funding the Company's working capital obligations for the next twelve months.

 

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no shares of common stock issued pursuant to the exercise of options issued under the Company’s stock option plan.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management under the supervision of and with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the “Exchange Act”) as of December 31, 2011. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Principal Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on that evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that

 

(i)Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

 

(ii)Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

 

10
 

 

 

(iii)Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Management assessed the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, the end of the Company’s fiscal year. Management based its assessment on criteria established in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

 

Based on the management’s assessment, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2011. Management has reviewed the results of the assessment of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

During the period covered by this report, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting for the quarter (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

 

Board of Directors

Helios and Matheson Information Technology Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Helios and Matheson Information Technology Inc. and Subsidiary, (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Helios and Matheson Information Technology Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

We were not engaged to examine management’s assertion about the effectiveness of Helios and Matheson Information Technology Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 included in Item 9A on the Form 10-K entitled Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.

 

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The Schedule II listed in the index of financial statements is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

1.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

 

Helios and Matheson Information Technology Inc. (“Helios and Matheson” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of New York in February of 1983 and became a public company in August of 1997. In October of 2009, Helios and Matheson changed its state of incorporation from New York to Delaware. The Company is headquartered in New York, New York and has offices in New York and Bangalore, India. The Company provides a wide range of information technology (“IT”) consulting, custom application development and solutions to Fortune 1000 companies and other large organizations. The Company supports all major computer technology platforms and supports client IT projects by using a broad range of third-party software applications.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Helios and Matheson Information Technology Inc. and its 100% owned subsidiary Helios and Matheson Global Services Private Limited (“HMGS”) from its date of acquisition on September 30, 2005. All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Certain amounts reported in previous years have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2011 presentation.

 

Accounting Standards Codification

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new standard known as the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), which became the source of authoritative accounting and reporting standards in the United States, in addition to guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The ASC is a restructuring of accounting and reporting standards designed to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) by modifying the GAAP hierarchy to include only two levels of GAAP: authoritative and non-authoritative. The Company has adopted the disclosure and hierarchy requirements of this standard.

 

Accounting for Income Taxes

 

The Company adopted a FASB provision relating to Uncertainty in Income Taxes. As a result of the implementation, there has been no material change to the Company’s tax position as the Company has not paid any corporate income taxes due to operating losses. All tax benefits will likely not be recognized due to the substantial net operating loss carry-forwards. With no tax due for the foreseeable future, the Company has determined that a policy to determine the accounting for interest or penalties related to the payment of tax is not necessary at this time.

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred income tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits, which are not expected to be realized. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that such tax rate changes are enacted.

 

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Comprehensive income (loss) consists of two components, net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenue, expenses, gains and losses that are recorded as an element of shareholder’s equity but are excluded from net income (loss). The Company’s other comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of foreign currency translation adjustments.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  

Foreign Currency Translation

 

Assets and liabilities denominated in non-U.S. currencies are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the consolidated statement of financial condition and revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange for the period. Gains (losses) on translation of the consolidated financial statements are from the Company’s subsidiary where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. Translation gains (losses) are reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Going Concern

 

The Company’s financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At December 31, 2011, the Company had $1,998,158 of cash and cash equivalents on hand as compared to $1,656,456 of cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2011 the Company reported a net profit of approximately $203,000. For the year ended December 31, 2010 the Company reported a net loss of approximately ($940,000). The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company continuing to achieve profitable operations in the future.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

The Company calculates earnings per share as specified by the FASB. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings available to common shares by weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated similarly, except that it includes the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of securities except when it is anti-dilutive, including the effect of shares issuable under the Company’s incentive plans.

 

Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments with original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying value of financial instruments (principally consisting of cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable) approximates fair value because of their short maturities.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to ten years.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

When impairment indicators are present, the Company reviews the carrying value of its assets in determining the ultimate recoverability of their unamortized values using analyses of future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeded its fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell.

Revenue Recognition

 

Consulting revenues are recognized as services are provided. The Company primarily provides consulting services under time and material contracts, whereby revenue is recognized as hours and costs are incurred. Customers for consulting revenues are billed on a weekly, semi-monthly and monthly basis. Revenues from fixed fee contracts are recorded when work is performed on the basis of the proportionate performance method, which is based on costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs. Any anticipated contract losses are estimated and accrued at the time they become known and estimable. Unbilled receivables represent amounts recognized as revenue based on services performed in advance of customer billings. A liability for deferred revenue is established for customer collections in excess of amounts earned under each contract. Revenue from sales of software licenses is recognized upon delivery of the software to a customer because future obligations associated with such revenue are insignificant.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable are stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company monitors its accounts receivable balances on a monthly basis to ensure that they are collectible. On a quarterly basis, the Company uses its historical experience to determine its accounts receivable reserve. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts is an estimate based on specifically identified accounts as well as general reserves. The Company evaluates specific accounts where it has information that the customer may have an inability to meet its financial obligations. In these cases, management uses its judgment, based on the best available facts and circumstances, and records a specific reserve for that customer against amounts due to reduce the receivable to the amount that is expected to be collected. These specific reserves are reevaluated and adjusted as additional information is received that impacts the amount reserved. The Company also establishes a general reserve for all customers based on a range of percentages applied to aging categories. These percentages are based on historical collection and write-off experience. If circumstances change, the Company’s estimate of the recoverability of amounts due the Company could be reduced or increased by a material amount. Such a change in estimated recoverability would be accounted for in the period in which the facts that give rise to the change become known.

 

Segment Information

 

The disclosure of segment information is not required as the Company operates in only one business segment.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

No non-employee equity instruments were granted in 2011 or 2010.

 

At December 31, 2011, the Company has a stock based compensation plan, which is described as follows:

 

The Company adopted a Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) that provides for the grant of stock options that are either “incentive” or “non-qualified” for federal income tax purposes. The Plan provides for the issuance of a maximum of 184,000 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment pursuant to customary anti-dilution provisions). Stock options vest over a period between one to four years.

 

The exercise price per share of a stock option is established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors in its discretion, but may not be less than the fair market value of a share of common stock as of the date of grant. The aggregate fair market value of the shares of common stock with respect to which “incentive” stock options first become exercisable by an individual to whom an “incentive” stock option is granted during any calendar year may not exceed $100,000.

 

Stock options, subject to certain restrictions, may be exercisable any time after full vesting for a period not to exceed ten years from the date of grant. Such period is to be established by the Company in its discretion on the date of grant. Stock options terminate in connection with the termination of employment.

 

The Company uses the modified prospective application method as specified by the FASB whereby compensation cost is recognized over the remaining service period based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as calculated for pro forma disclosures as originally issued. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded stock based compensation expense of $0. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded stock based compensation expense of $0 and $7,512, respectively.

6. INCOME TAXES

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method.

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

  

Deferred tax assets and (liabilities) consist of the following:

 

   December 31, 
   2011   2010 
Licensing revenues  $(2,000)  $(25,000)
Accounts receivable reserve   54,000    107,000 
Depreciation and amortization   265,000    270,000 
Investments   928,000    928,000 
Other   201,000    210,000 
Net operating losses   5,481,000    5,351,000 
    6,927,000    6,841,000 
Valuation allowance   (6,927,000)   (6,841,000)
   $-   $- 

 

 

Internal Revenue Code Section 382 places a limitation on the utilization of Federal net operating loss and other credit carry-forwards when an ownership change, as defined by the tax law, occurs. Generally, this occurs when a greater than 50 percentage point change in ownership occurs. On September 5, 2006, Helios and Matheson Parent acquired a greater than 50 percent ownership of the Company. Accordingly, the actual utilization of the net operating loss carry-forwards for tax purposes are limited annually under Code Section 382 to a percentage (currently about four and a half percent) of the fair market value of the Company at the date of this ownership change.

 

At December 31, 2011, the Company has federal net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $15.7 million which will begin to expire in 2020. The New Jersey net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $2.5 million will begin to expire in 2020. The full utilization of the deferred tax assets in the future is dependent upon the Company’s ability to generate taxable income; accordingly, a valuation allowance of an equal amount has been established. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the valuation allowance increased by approximately $86,000 and $513,000 respectively.

 

Significant components of the provision for income taxes are as follows:

 

  Year Ended December 31, 
  2011   2010 
Current:        
Federal  $-   $- 
State and local   12,243    4,472 
Total Current  $12,243   $4,472 
Deferred:

Total   5.69%   0.48%

 

7. RETIREMENT PLAN

 

The Company sponsors a defined contribution plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code for its employees. Participants can make elective contributions subject to certain limitations. Under the plan, the Company can make matching contributions on behalf of all participants. There were no such contributions made by the Company in 2011 and 2010.

 

8. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

 

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash balances on deposit with a limited number of financial institutions in amounts which may exceed federally insured limits. Historically, the Company has not experienced any related cash-in-bank losses. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, the Company had three customers which accounted for 76% of revenues. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 the Company had three customers which accounted for 64% of revenues. Besides these customers, no other customer represented greater than 10% of the Company’s revenues. The three customers represented approximately 69% each of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2011. Three customers represented approximately 67% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2010.

 

9. LEASES

 

The Company leases office space under a non-cancelable operating lease. The future minimum payments for all non-cancelable operating leases as of December 31, 2011 are as follows:

 

2012   165,803 
Total minimum future lease payments  $165,803 (1)

  

(1) The Company has a New York facility with a lease term expiring July 31, 2012. As disclosed in Note 15 ”Subsequent Event” the Company provided notice to the landlord to terminate this lease during 2012.

 

Office leases are subject to escalations based on increases in real estate taxes and operating expenses, all of which are charged to rent expense. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, was approximately $393,798 and $384,488, respectively.

 

10. STOCK OPTION PLAN

 

The Company adopted a Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) that provides for the grant of stock options that are either “incentive” or “non-qualified” for federal income tax purposes. The Plan provides for the issuance of a maximum of 184,000 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment pursuant to customary anti-dilution provisions). Stock options vest over a period between one to four years.

 

The exercise price per share of a stock option is established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors in its discretion, but may not be less than the fair market value of a share of common stock as of the date of grant. The aggregate fair market value of the shares of common stock with respect to which “incentive” stock options first become exercisable by an individual to whom an “incentive” stock option is granted during any calendar year may not exceed $100,000.

12. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTY

 

In September 2010, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Helios and Matheson Parent (the “HMIT MOU”) pursuant to which Helios and Matheson Parent has agreed to make available to the Company facilities of dedicated Off-shore Development Centers (“ODCs”) and also render services by way of support in technology, client engagement, management and in operating the ODCs for the Company. The Company has furnished Helios and Matheson Parent a security Deposit of $1 million, classified as a non-current asset on the balance sheet, to cover any expenses, claims or damages that Helios and Matheson Parent may incur while discharging its obligation under the HMIT MOU and also to cover Company’s payable to Helios and Matheson Parent. The amount paid or due to be paid to Helios and Matheson Parent for services rendered under the HMIT MOU was $540,448 and $454,496 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively and is included as a component of cost of revenue. All payments to Helios and Matheson Parent under the MOU are made after collections are received from clients.

 

13. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

On April 5, 2011, the Company filed a Complaint in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Union County against Toranco-Clark Associates LLC, its former landlord, for breach of its lease agreement in the amount of $22,000. On June 17, 2011, Toranco-Clark Associates LLC filed a Counterclaim against the Company in the amount of $24,000 for alleged breach of the lease agreement. The ultimate outcome of this matter is uncertain at this time.

 

During 2011, Rosen and Associates, P.C. has asked for a payment of $23,680.18 for services it allegedly performed for the Company. No action has been filed by Rosen and Associate, P.C.

 

14. REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

 

On June 23, 2011, the Company effected a 1 for 2.5 reverse split of its Common stock. Post reverse split Company’s outstanding common stocks are 2,330,438 as compared to 5,826,088 before the reverse split. As a result the stated capital on the balance sheet attributable to common stock is revised from $58,261 to $23,304, and the additional paid in capital is credited with $34,957. The per share net loss is retroactively increased for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2010 from ($0.22) to ($0.56) because there are fewer shares of common stock outstanding. Also common stocks issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and reserved for future grants of exercisable options are reduced as of December 31, 2010 from 34,250 to 13,700 and 460,000 to 184,000, respectively. In lieu of issuing fractional shares, each holder of common stock entitled to a fraction of a share would have the number of shares rounded up to the nearest whole share. All other references to common stock have been adjusted for all periods presented.
