HII TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT

(unaudited)


NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Basis of presentation


The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of HII Technologies, Inc. (“we”, “our”, “HII” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 contained in HII Technologies’ Form 10-K originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2015. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 as reported in the Company’s Form 10-K have been omitted.


Principles of consolidation


The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HII and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Apache Energy Services, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (dba’s “AES Water Solutions” and “AES Safety Services”, herein “AES”), Aqua Handling of Texas, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (dba “AquaTex”), Hamilton Investment Group, Inc. (“Hamilton”) and Sage Power Solutions, Inc., a Texas corporation (f/k/a KMHVC, Inc., dba “South Texas Power” and “STP”). Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.


Reclassifications


Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements of the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current year for comparative purposes.


Going Concern


As disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 contained in HII Technologies’ Form 10-K, factors existed at December 31, 2014 that raised substantial doubt with regards to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time including the failure to comply with the financial covenants under the Heartland Bank agreements as of December 31, 2014, which could have resulted in the acceleration of amounts due to Heartland Bank under the line of  credit and term loan. The Company believes these factors are resolved as of the date of issuance of this Form 10-Q due to the Company entering into the Third Modification and Waiver Agreement with Heartland Bank and the proceeds received from the issuance of the Preferred Series B Convertible Stock (see Note 6). As a result, the non-current portion of the Heartland Term Loan has been reclassified and presented as a long term liability in the unaudited financial statements as of March 31, 2015.


Recently adopted accounting standards


In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” This ASU requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The amendments in this ASU are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The standard requires a retrospective application in order to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 and 2014


Revenues.  Our revenues increased by $998,171, or approximately 13% to $8,503,232 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $7,505,061 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.  This increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Hamilton on August 12, 2014, which provided $1.2 million in additional revenues in 2015.  


Cost of Revenues.  Cost of revenues increased by $2,583,063 or approximately 47%, to $8,047,857 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, or 95% of revenues, compared to cost of revenues of $5,464,794, or 72% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014.  The cost of revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2015 were primarily the result of direct labor and contract labor of $3,821,275, frac water pipe and pump rental of $852,347, equipment and truck rental of $1,574,694 and related fuel costs of $525,949.  The increase in cost of revenues as a percentage of sales was the result of lower than anticipated revenues that did not cover fixed costs within cost of revenues resulting from inclement weather during the period and oilfield customers relocating drilling rigs and activity from certain areas of Oklahoma into other more economically attractive area such as the Permian Basin and Delaware Basin.  We currently anticipate a lower cost of sales as a percentage of sales in the future from increases in revenues covering a higher percentage of fixed costs, decreasing rental expense through the procurement of additional fixed assets, and the anticipated future impact of revenues resulting from the anticipated commencement of new technology related services and their higher margins.  The cost of revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2014 were primarily the result of contract labor of $2,190,646, direct costs associated with the spill remediation line of $927,812, frac water pipe and pump rental of $820,587, equipment and truck rental of $549,083 and related fuel costs of $537,436.


Selling, general, and administrative.  Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $509,054, or approximately 27%, to $2,414,558, or approximately 28% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to $1,905,504 or approximately 25% of revenues for the comparable period in 2014.  The increase was primarily attributable to newly added employee compensation expense, consulting fees, as well as the cost of public reporting and holding company expenses during 2014.  We currently anticipate lower selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales in the future from continued increases in revenues covering a higher percentage of fixed costs, reduced testing and development costs related to water recycling technologies, and decreasing growth in expenses for personnel.


Interest expense.  Interest expense increased by $638,735, or approximately 457% to $778,545 in the three months ended March 31, 2015, from $139,810 for the comparable period in 2014.  The increase was attributable to the interest accrued on the accounts receivable financing facility, the senior term loan credit facility, interest expense associated with promissory notes we issued in our September 2012 and October 2013 financings, as well as accrued interest on the Seller notes issued in connection with our acquisition of AES Water Solutions in September 2012 and AquaTex in November 2013.


Net loss.  Our net loss increased by $3,105,751, or approximately 12,498% to $3,130,602 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from a net loss of $24,851 for the comparable period in 2014.  The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 included depreciation and amortization charges of $780,589, non-cash charges in connection with the issuance of share-based awards of $270,108, bad debt expense of $289,553, and the amortization of deferred financing costs of $12,712.  The net loss during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily attributable to non-cash charges in connection with the issuance of share-based awards of $54,440 and the amortization of deferred finance costs of $18,859.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


We have financed our operations, acquisitions, debt service, and capital requirements through cash flows generated from operations, debt financing, other loans, and issuance of equity securities.  We had cash of $1,069,524, restricted cash of $1,886,887 and a working capital deficit of $7,049,390 as of March 31, 2015 as compared to cash of $1,330,507 and a working capital deficit of $14,757,082 as of December 31, 2014.


Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $555,372 resulting primarily from our net loss of $3,130,602, decreases in accounts receivable of $451,042, increases in accounts payable of $1,942,327, and accrued expenses of $35,417 and adjustments in non-cash items including $780,589 in depreciation and amortization, $270,108 in amortization of stock based compensation, $289,553 in bad debt expense and $12,712 in amortization of deferred finance costs, which amounts were offset by increases in prepaid expenses



13



and other assets of $78,634 and $17,140 in gain on asset disposal.  By comparison, net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $680,163 resulting primarily from our net loss of $24,851 and increases in accounts receivable of $2,785,573 and prepaid expenses of $48,857, which amounts were offset by the increases in accounts payable of $1,214,754, accounts payable-related parties of $75,000 and accrued expenses of $684,210 and adjustments in non-cash items including $54,440 in noncash stock for services, $123,580 in depreciation and amortization, $8,275 in loss on asset disposal and $18,859 in amortization of deferred finance costs.


Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $286,173 resulting primarily from our acquisition of assets and equipment of $297,173, offset proceeds received from the sale of property and equipment of $11,000.  By comparison, net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $1,086,222 resulting from our acquisition of assets.


Our net cash used in financing activities was $530,182 for the three months ended March 31, 2015.  This consisted of $359,756 in payments on notes payable and $368,326 in payments on capital lease obligation, which amounts were offset by $197,900 in net proceeds from secured borrowings. Our net cash provided by financing activities was $957,097 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This consisted of $130,000 in proceeds from the issuance of notes, $1,009,142 in net proceeds from our line of credit, and $12,500 in proceeds from the exercise of warrants, which amounts were offset by payments on notes payable of $190,378 and $4,167 in payments for deferred financing costs.


The net decrease in cash for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $260,983 as compared to a net decrease in cash of $809,288 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.


Credit Facilities


Heartland Bank Credit Facility


On August 12, 2014, HII Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Borrower”) entered a senior secured credit facility (the “Facility”) with Heartland Bank as Agent consisting of (i) a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Heartland Bank for a 3-year $12 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) and (ii) an account purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Heartland Bank, as agent for the purchase and sale of approved receivables of Borrower in amounts not to exceed $6 million, which amount was increased to $6.6 million pursuant to a first modification agreement executed on September 15, 2014.  The proceeds of borrowings under the Facility may be used for the payment of a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of Hamilton Investment Group (“Hamilton”); the refinance of outstanding debt under Borrower’s prior accounts receivable facility; working capital needs of the Company and its subsidiaries; funding of the debt service reserve account and payment of all costs and expenses arising in connection with the negotiation of the Credit Agreement and related documents.  On the closing date, the Borrower received proceeds of $12 million under the Credit Agreement and approximately $4.65 million under the Purchase Agreement.  The Company utilized $9 million to pay a portion of the purchase price for the Hamilton acquisition, approximately $4.75 million to pay off the Borrower’s prior accounts receivable facility, $450,000 in commitment fees, $675,000 to fund Borrower’s debt service reserve account and approximately $190,000 in other expenses related to the Facility.  Borrower retained approximately $1.585 million for working capital.


Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to WSJ prime plus a spread that ranges from 5.50% to 8.25% per annum depending on the Borrower’s first lien leverage ratio (provided that at no time shall the WSJ prime be less than 4%).  The Term Loan, as amended, requires monthly interest payments, quarterly principal payments of $300,000 and a balloon payment on the August 12, 2017 maturity date.  The Term Loan contains an accordion feature, whereby the borrowings may be increased by up to an additional $10 million upon request and agreement by the Lenders, but is not a committed amount under the facility.  


Under the Purchase Agreement, all approved receivables will be purchased by the lenders thereunder for the face amount of such receivable less the lender’s 1.50% service charge.  In addition, the Purchase Agreement requires a 10% reserve against receivables purchased, which amount will increase from 25-50% for receivables outstanding past 60-90 days, respectively.  The account purchase facility replaces the Company’s previous senior secured revolving facility.


Both the Credit Agreement and the Purchase Agreement require the Borrower to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.2:1.0, a first lien leverage ratio of ranging from 3.0:1.0 during 2014 to 2.75:1.0 - 2.25:1.0 during 2015 to 2.0:1.0 beginning in 2016, a EBITDA to Interest Expense ratio ranging from 2.75:1.0 during 2014,



14



3.75:1.0 during 2015 to 4.75:1.0 beginning in 2016 and a tangible net worth of not less than $1 million for each quarter beginning December 31, 2014.  The Borrower is also required to maintain a debt service reserve account sufficient to pay all debt and interest expense due in the next fiscal quarter.  The restrictive covenants include customary restrictions on the Company's ability to incur additional debt; make investments; grant or incur liens on assets; sell assets; engage in mergers, consolidations, liquidations or dissolutions; engage in transactions with affiliates; and make dividend payments (although the Borrower is allowed to make dividend payments so long as no event of default will result from such payment or in shares of the Company’s stock).  In addition, the Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default.


The Facility is secured by all of the Borrower’s assets as well as a pledge of the Company’s equity in each of its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  The Company paid a cash closing fee of $450,000 to the Lenders and also issued a 4-year warrant to purchase 2.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price $1.00 per share in connection with the Facility.


We were not in compliance with certain financial covenants (fixed charge coverage ratio, tangible net worth and first lien leverage ratio) at December 31, 2014.  We were also not in compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio,  tangible net worth covenants, first lien leverage ratio and ratio of EBITDA to interest expense at March 31, 2015. The table below sets forth the financial covenants, we are required to maintain under our agreements with Heartland Bank and our compliance with such covenants at December 31, 2014:

Effective May 20, 2015, we, and our wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Borrowers”) entered into a Third Modification and Waiver Agreement with Heartland Bank as agent, on behalf of the Lenders for each of the Credit Agreement and the Account Purchase Agreement dated August 12, 2014 (the “Third Amendments”), pursuant to which (i) the Lenders waived certain existing defaults under the Credit Agreement, including a waiver of covenant compliance with respect to Fixed Charge Ratio, Tangible Net Worth Covenant and the First Lien Leverage for the periods ended December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015 and with respect to the ratio of EBITDA to interest expense for the period ended March 31, 2015; (ii) the Lenders waived default interest through March 31, 2015; (iii) the parties defined Borrower’s use of proceeds under an equity raise of not less than $2.735 million; (iv) reset the deadline by which Borrowers are required to close and transfer certain open accounts to Heartland Bank; (v) the parties reclassified the amounts owed to sellers pursuant to the working capital adjustment under the Hamilton Purchase Agreement as “Debt” and (vi) further amend certain terms of the Credit Agreement and related Purchase Agreement.   These amendments include the following:  (i) increase interest rate to 13.75% (Credit Agreement only); (ii) amend the schedule for principal payments on the term loan to payments of $110,000 per month (Credit Agreement only); (iii) require Lender consent for payments on Subordinated Debt; (iv) remove the Tangible Net Worth financial covenant; (v) reset certain financial covenants as follows  (A) fixed charge coverage ratio must be less than (1) 0.7 to 1.0 for the period ending June 30, 2015; (2) 0.65 to 1.0 for the period ending September 30, 2015; (3) 0.71 to 1.0 for the period ending December 31, 2015 and (4) 1.2 to 1.0 for the period ending March 31, 2016 and for each fiscal period ending thereafter; (B) first lien leverage ratio of no greater than (1) 5.20 to 1.0 for the period ending June 30, 2015; (2) 5.06 to 1.0 for the period ending September 30, 2015, (3) 4.65 to 1.0 for the period ending December 31, 2015 and (4) for the period ending March 31, 2016 and for each fiscal period ending thereafter, 2.0 to 1.0 and (C) ratio of EBITDA to interest expense must be less than (1) 2.25 to 1.0 for the period ending June 30, 2015; (2) 1.85 to 1.0 for the period ending September 30, 2015, (3) 2.00 to 1.0 for the period ending December 31, 2015 and (4) for each period ending during the calendar year 2016 and each year thereafter, 4.75 to 1.0.


There can be no assurance that we will be in compliance with these covenants in future periods or that Heartland will issue a waiver for any future periods in which we are not in compliance with these covenants.  Any failure to comply with the financial covenants under the Heartland Bank agreements could result in the acceleration of all amounts due to Heartland Bank under the line of credit and term loan.


Capital Lease Facilities


On June 30, 2014, we entered into a capital lease agreement with BCL-Equipment Leasing, LLC (“BCL”) under which we leased equipment with a capitalized cost of $3,244,976. The lease term is for 24 months, with an automatic 12 month extension if the purchase option is not elected at the end of year 2.  The purchase price is for the



15



greater of fair market value or 20% of the total capitalized cost.  The monthly payments under the lease are $150,769 and we paid a security deposit of $657,243 and an origination fee of $32,347.  The equipment under the lease consisted of lay flat hose which will be used in our frac water transfer service related activities.


On July 10, 2014, we entered into a capital lease agreement with Nations Fund I, LLC (“NEF”) under which we leased equipment with a value of $1,908,542.  The lease requires 36 monthly payments during such term of $52,485 per month and a purchase at the end of term of $572,563.  The lease contains a purchase option at the end of the initial 36 month term, granting the Company the right to purchase all equipment covered under the lease for its fair market value.  If the Company does not elect to exercise the purchase option, it may elect to exercise the renewal option for a negotiated renewal term at a periodic rent equal to the fair market rental value of the equipment, as determined at the time of renewal.  The equipment under the leases consisted of flowback equipment, evaporation units, and generators which will be used in our flowback, evaporation, and portable power service revenue activities.


Series B Preferred Stock Financing


On May 20, 2015, we issued a total of 2,735 shares of our series B convertible preferred stock and warrants to acquire an aggregate of 3,418,750 shares of common stock to 14 accredited investors  for an aggregate gross  purchase  price of  $2,735,000.    Each share of series B convertible preferred stock has a stated value of  $1,000  and is  convertible  into  shares  of  common  stock  at an  initial conversion price of $0.40 per share.  The conversion price is subject to various adjustments.  The investors received warrants to purchase a total of 3,418,750 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 subject to adjustments, which are exercisable for five years.  


From the proceeds approximately $1.97 million will be used for payment of accounts payable and $757,575 will be deposited into a restricted account with Heartland Bank which will be used for payment on our term loan with Heartland Bank.  The remainder will be used to pay the costs and expenses associated with the offering and for working capital and general corporate expenses.


Series A Preferred Stock Financing


From June 21, 2014 through July 8, 2014, we sold 4,000 units (“Series A Units”) to 22 accredited investors at a price of $1,000 per Series A Unit for total gross proceeds of $4,000,000.  Each Series A Unit consisted of (i) 1 share of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”) convertible into a number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient of 1,000 divided by the conversion price then in effect, which is currently $0.70 (the “Series A Conversion Shares”), and (ii) common stock purchase warrants (“Series A Warrants”) to purchase five-hundred (500) shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $1.00 per whole share exercisable for 3 years after issuance (the “Series A Warrant Shares”).  The Series A Conversion Shares and the Series A Warrant Shares contain standard piggy back registration rights.  We used $242,700 of these proceeds as payment for non-exclusive placement agent fees to FINRA registered broker-dealers.  In addition, approximately $500,000 was used to repay outstanding indebtedness under 10% promissory notes.  The remaining proceeds will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes and to fund growth opportunities.


Liquidity and Capital Requirements – HII Technologies, Inc.


As of the date of this report, we believe that we will be able to fund our operations for the next 12 months by a combination of the continuing operations of our three divisions and our Purchase Agreement with Heartland Bank for the sale of our accounts receivables.


Critical Accounting Policies


Our discussion and analysis of our financial conditions and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.  The preparation of financial statements requires managers to make estimates and disclosures on the date of the financial statements.  On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to revenue recognition.  We use authoritative pronouncements, historical experience, and other assumptions as the basis for making judgments.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Accounts receivable are comprised of unsecured amounts due from customers.  The Company carries its accounts receivable at their face amounts less an allowance for bad debts.  The allowance for bad debts is recognized based on management’s estimate of likely losses per year, based on past experience and review of customer profiles and the aging of receivable balances.

Goodwill acquired in a business acquisition is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost of business combination over the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities.  Following the initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.  Goodwill is not amortized but instead, it is reviewed for impairment, annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.


Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: 1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement, 2) delivery has occurred, 3) the price is fixed and determinable, and 4) collectability is reasonably assured.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


None.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this item.


ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.


Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that 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 chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures


In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
