NOTE 1:-

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

a.

Hotel Outsource Management International, Inc. ("HOMI") was incorporated in Delaware on November 9, 2000. HOMI and its subsidiaries was engaged in the distribution, marketing and operation of computerized minibars in hotels located in the United States, Europe, Israel and Canada.

Hereinafter, HOMI together with its subsidiaries will be referred to as the "Company."

 

The Company common stock was listed on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, or "OTC Bulletin Board" from February 2004 until February 2011. It now trades on the OTCQB under the symbol "HOUM.PK."

 

b.

On March 25, 2014, HOMI entered into an agreement with HOMI Industries (hereinafter - “Industries”), Daniel Cohen (hereinafter - “Cohen”) and Moise Laurent Elkrief (hereinafter - “Elkrief”). Cohen was at that time the President, a Director and a shareholder of HOMI. Elkrief was the beneficial owner of the HOMI shares which were held in the name of Tomwood Limited, which was the majority shareholder of HOMI (Cohen and Elkrief will be termed hereinafter as the “Purchasers”). Pursuant to the agreement, which closed on September 5, 2014, there was a restructuring of HOMI’s subsidiaries such that all of its operations subsidiaries, namely, HOMI Israel Ltd., HOMI UK Limited, HOMI USA, Inc., HOMI Canada Inc. and HOMI Florida, LLC, became wholly owned subsidiaries of Industries. In return for payment of $1.00 (one US Dollar) and in return for assuming (via Industries) approximately $900 of HOMI's debts and approximately $3,200 of the subsidiaries’ debts, the Purchasers acquired HOMI Industries, with all of such subsidiaries and debt.

 

The Purchasers and Industries also agreed to indemnify HOMI in respect of certain liabilities.

 

The agreement was approved by the holders of a majority of HOMI’s issued and outstanding shares that were not held directly or beneficially by the Purchasers, pursuant to shareholder resolutions dated April 1, 2014. On April 9, 2014, a preliminary information statement was submitted to SEC. On August 7, 2014 the definitive information statement was declared effective.

 

Since the closing of that agreement, HOMI’s Board of Directors has been considering other possible business opportunities.

 

c.

Industries took upon itself the Company’s liabilities as of September 30, 2014. Final reconciliation between the Company, Industries and current shareholders is to be completed after balance sheet date.

  

NOTE 2:-

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

a.

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2014. The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in the Company's Form 10-K filed March 31, 2014.

NOTE 2:-

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

 

b.

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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period may be affected by the estimates and assumptions management is required to make. Estimates that are critical to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements relate principally to depreciation and recoverability of long lived assets. The markets for the Company’s products are characterized by intense price competition, rapid technological development, evolving standards and short product life cycles; all of which could impact the future realization of its assets. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary.

 

c.

Financial statements in U.S. dollars

 

The majority of the Company's sales are in U.S. dollars or in dollar linked currencies. In addition, the majority of the Company's financing is received in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, the Company has determined the U.S. dollar as the currency of its primary economic environment and thus, its functional and reporting currency. Non-dollar transactions and balances have been remeasured into US dollars. All transaction gains and losses from the re-measurement of monetary balance sheet items denominated in non-dollar currencies are reflected in the statements of operations as financial income or expenses, as appropriate.

 

The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries, whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, have been translated into U.S. dollars. All balance sheet accounts have been translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Statements of operations amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate for the period. The translation differences are attributed to the capital reserve from translation differences.

 

d.

Concentrations of Credit Risk and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The financial instruments of the Company consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, trade receivables, other accounts receivable, short-term bank credit, trade payables, other accounts payable and notes payable to shareholders and others.

 

In view of their short term nature, the fair value of the financial instruments included in working capital of the Company is usually identical, or close, to their carrying values. The fair values of long-term notes payable also approximates their carrying values, since such notes bear interest at rates that management believes are approximately the same as prevailing market rates.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENTS' DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

The following discussion and analysis provides information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our financial condition as of September 30, 2014 and our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2014. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for such periods as well as our financial statements included in our December 31, 2013 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2014.

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This report contains forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance.  In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.  These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our or out industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

 

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

 

Our financial statements are stated and prepared in US Dollars and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

As used in this quarterly report, the term "HOMI" means Hotel Outsource Management International, Inc. The terms, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our” means Hotel Outsource Management International, Inc and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

In connection with the issuance of Securities and Exchange Commission FR-60, the following disclosure is provided to supplement the Company’s accounting policies in regard to significant areas of judgment. Management of the Company is required to make certain estimates and assumptions during the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These estimates and assumptions impact the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. These estimates also impact the reported amount of net earnings during any period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Because of the size of the financial statement elements to which they relate, some of our accounting policies and estimates have a more significant impact on our financial statements than others.

 

 

Revenue Recognition, Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Revenues from minibars operation and product sales derived from outsource activity (minibar's content), under the exclusive long-term revenue sharing agreements with hotels, net of the hotel’s portion and/or other participation of, or payments due from the hotel, and revenues from disposal of minibars are recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB No. 101") and SAB No. 104 when delivery has occurred, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the vendor’s fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is probable. Revenues from sales of minibars are recognized in accordance with compliance with the conditions designated in SAB No. 104, as abovementioned. Sales of minibars that are classified as refinancing arrangements are shown as a long-term loan to be repaid in accordance with terms of the agreement as required in FAS 13 "Accounting for Leases".

 

Our payment terms are normally net 15 to 30 days from invoicing. We evaluate our allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis through periodic reviews of the collectability of the receivables in light of historical experience, adverse situations that may affect our customers’ ability to repay, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and generally do not require collateral because (1) we believe we have certain collection measures in-place to limit the potential for significant losses, and (2) because of the nature of customers comprising our customer base. Accounts receivable are determined to be past due based on how recently payments have been received and bad debts are charged in the form of an allowance account in the period the receivables are deemed uncollectible. Receivables are written off when we abandon our collection efforts. To date, we have not experienced any material losses. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided with respect to those amounts that we have determined to be doubtful of collection. No allowance was deemed necessary as of September 30, 2014 and 2013.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

We assess the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets periodically. If circumstances suggest that long-lived assets may be impaired, and a review indicates that the carrying value will not be recoverable, as determined based on the projected undiscounted future cash flow, the carrying value is reduced to its estimated fair value. The determination of cash flow is based upon assumptions and forecasts that may not occur. As of December 31, 2013 the Company’s balance sheet includes $3,847,000 of fixed assets, net.  As of September 30, 2014, our balance sheet included $0 of fixed assets net. The Company has completed its impairment test for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and has concluded that no impairment write-off is necessary.

 

Financial Statements in US dollars:

 

Financial statements in U.S. dollars:

 

The currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company are conducted is the U.S. dollar (hereinafter: "dollar"); thus, the dollar is the functional currency of the Company.

 

The Company's transactions and balances denominated in dollars are presented at their original amounts. Non-dollar transactions and balances have been remeasured to dollars. All transaction gains and losses from remeasurement of monetary balance sheet items denominated in non-dollar currencies are reflected in the statements of operations as financial income or expenses, as appropriate.

 

 

The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries, whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, have been translated into US dollars. All balance sheet accounts have been translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Statements of operations amounts have been translated using specific exchange rates or the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are not included in determining net income (loss) but are reported in a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity.

 

Investments in Affiliates:

 

The investment in companies over which the Company can exercise significant influence is presented using the equity method of accounting. The Company generally discontinues applying the equity method when its investment (including advances and loans) is reduced to zero and it has not guaranteed obligations of the affiliate or otherwise committed to provide further financial support to the affiliate. Where the Company’s share of an affiliate’s losses is greater than the investment in such an affiliate and in which the Company has guaranteed obligations of the affiliate, the excess amount is presented as a liability.

 

OVERVIEW

 

Until recently, Hotel Outsource Management International, Inc. (“HOMI”) was a multi-national service provider in the hospitality industry, supplying a range of services in relation to computerized minibars that are primarily intended for in-room refreshments. In addition, we manufacture and install our own proprietary computerized minibar, the HOMI® 330 and HOMI® 226.

 

HOMI served as a holding company for several subsidiaries which market and operate computerized minibars in hotels located in the United States, Canada, Europe and Israel. HOMI was incorporated in Delaware on November 9, 2000 under the name Benjamin Acquisitions, Inc.

 

Our core activities focused on manufacturing, operating, servicing and sales and marketing of computerized minibars located in upscale hotels throughout the world.

 

On March 25, 2014, HOMI entered into an agreement with HOMI Industries Ltd., a subsidiary of HOMI (“Industries”), Daniel Cohen (“Cohen”) and Moise Laurent Elkrief (“Elkrief”). Cohen was at that time the President, a Director and a shareholder of HOMI. Elkrief was the beneficial owner of the HOMI shares which were held in the name of Tomwood Limited, which was the majority shareholder of HOMI. Pursuant to the agreement, which closed on September 5, 2014, there was a restructuring of HOMI’s subsidiaries such that all of its operational subsidiaries, namely, HOMI Israel Ltd., HOMI UK Limited, HOMI USA, Inc., HOMI Canada Inc. and HOMI Florida, LLC, became wholly owned subsidiaries of Industries. In return for payment of $1.00 (one US Dollar) and in return for assuming (via Industries) approximately $900,000 of HOMI's debts and approximately $3,200,000 of the subsidiaries’ debts, Elkrief and Cohen acquired HOMI Industries, with all of such subsidiaries and debt.

 

Elkrief and Cohen and Industries also agreed to indemnify HOMI in respect of certain liabilities.

 

This agreement was approved by the holders of a majority of HOMI’s issued and outstanding shares that were not held directly or beneficially by the Elkrief or Cohen, pursuant to shareholder resolutions dated April 1, 2014. On April 9, 2014, a preliminary information statement was submitted to SEC, and on August 7, 2014 the definitive information statement was declared effective. The transaction closed on September 5, 2014.

 

Our common stock was listed on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, or "OTC Bulletin Board" from February 2004 to February 2011 under the symbol "HOUM.OB."  It is currently listed on the OTCQB under the symbol HOUM.

 

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 COMPARED TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2013.

 

REVENUES

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, HOMI had revenues of $0 and $754,000, respectively, a decrease of 100%. These revenues arose primarily from the sale of refreshments in the minibars. The decrease is due to the sale of HOMI’s assets and liabilities as described herein.
