(Unless otherwise indicated, dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Interim Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the regulations for interim financial information of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which consist only of normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year.
Company Description and Nature of Operations
Home Solutions of America, Inc. (“Home Solutions” or “the Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a provider of recovery, restoration and rebuilding/remodeling services to commercial and residential areas that are (i) prone to flooding, hurricanes, tornados, fires or other naturally occurring and repetitive weather related emergencies; and/or (ii) experiencing robust housing development. With operations in the South, Gulf Coast regions and California, the Company believes that it is well positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for our suite of Recovery, Restoration and Rebuilding/Remodeling services. The Company seeks to expand its core service offerings through the future acquisition of strategic, specialized, profitable and well-managed companies operating in its target markets and business segments with a proven history of internal growth.
The Company’s business consists of two integrated service offerings: (i) Recovery and Restoration and (ii) Rebuilding/Remodeling. For business segment reporting, Recovery and Restoration Services are combined into a single business segment.
Recovery and Restoration. The Company’s Recovery services include catastrophic storm response, clean up and removal of debris, initial set up services in an impacted area (including power, lodging, sustenance and training), water mitigation, drying, dehumidification and preparing affected areas for the next stage of restoration and rebuilding. The Company has trained employees who provide onsite first response to respond to fire, water and weather-related emergencies in its target markets to both commercial and residential clients. These services are provided through the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Fireline Restoration, Inc. (“Fireline”), which was acquired effective July 1, 2006 pursuant to an acquisition that closed on July 31, 2006, and Home Solutions Restoration of Louisiana, Inc. (“HSR of Louisiana”), which commenced operations in September 2005 in connection with the acquisition of substantially all the assets of Florida Environmental Remediation Services, Inc., (“FERS”), a Florida corporation engaged in recovery services. The Company’s Recovery services are currently provided in the disaster impacted areas of Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.
The Restoration segment focuses on the next stage of services after the initial clean up and catastrophic storm response. Services presently included in the Restoration business segment involve water, fire and wind restoration, mold remediation, contents restoration, air decontamination, asbestos and lead paint removal, cleaning, drying and deodorization of carpet and furniture and moving and storage services. The Company is also involved in the initial stages of reconstruction of commercial and residential properties, and recently expanded its service offerings. Fireline, which specializes in disaster recovery services, insurance estimates and repairs for commercial, industrial and residential properties, is certified in multiple aspects of the restoration industry, including smoke, fire, water and mold. Fireline is licensed as a general contractor in Florida and offers full interior and exterior restoration and reconstruction services in that state. Fireline also performs work in Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Georgia. Through HSR of Louisiana’s recent acquisition of Associated Contractors II, LLC (“Associated”), a general contractor providing construction and rebuilding services for commercial and residential properties in Louisiana and Mississippi, the Company has expanded its Restoration services to include general contracting work. The Company believes that the Associated and Fireline acquisitions position it to more fully participate in the restoration efforts currently underway in the New Orleans and gulf coast regions. See Note 10 – Subsequent Events for additional information regarding the Associated acquisition.
Restoration business segment services are also provided through PW Stephens, Inc. (“PWS”) and Fiber Seal Systems, L.P., a wholly-owned subsidiary (“FSS”). PWS provides water and fire restoration services, air decontamination, and removal of mold asbestos and lead paint in California and to a lesser extent in Florida. FSS provides cleaning, drying, and deodorization of carpet and furniture as well as moving and storage services in 23 states and the District of Columbia.

Rebuilding/Remodeling. The Rebuilding/Remodeling segment includes the production and installation of custom kitchen cabinets and countertops and the installation of custom marble and granite countertops provided through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Southern Exposure Unlimited of Florida, Inc. and its 50% owned subsidiary, SouthernStone Cabinets, Inc. (collectively, “Southern Exposure”) and the installation of custom marble and granite countertops through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Cornerstone Marble & Granite, Inc. formerly known as Cornerstone Building and Remodeling, Inc. (“Cornerstone”).
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Home Solutions and its wholly and 50% owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The minority owner’s interest in a subsidiary has been reflected as minority interest in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
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 the contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made by management include, among others, the realizability of accounts and notes receivable, inventories, recoverability of property and equipment, intangibles and goodwill and valuation of stock-based compensation and deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company’s management assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets upon the occurrence of a triggering event by determining whether the depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets over their remaining lives can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of long-lived asset impairment, if any, is measured based on fair value and is charged to operations in the period in which long-lived asset impairment is determined by management. At September 30, 2006, the Company’s management believes there is no impairment of its long-lived assets. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company’s products and services will continue, which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.
Inventories
Inventories consist of granite slabs and are valued at the lower of cost or market. As part of the valuation process, excess and slow-moving inventories are reduced to their estimated net realizable value. At September 30, 2006 and 2005 inventory totaled $4,566 and $1,026, respectively.
Intangibles
Identifiable intangibles acquired in connection with business acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method are recorded at their respective fair values. The Company is amortizing the identifiable intangibles over their estimated useful lives, ranging from six to twenty years. Intangibles consist of the following at September 30, 2006:
                 
            Estimated Useful
    Balance     Life (Years)
Trade name
  $ 4,540       15  
Customer list
    4,100       15

    1,350       20

    (1,518 )

Amortization expense totaled $588 and $350 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The estimated amortization for the next five years is as follows:
         
2007
  $ 725  
2008
    725  
2009
    725  
2010
    725  
2011
    725  
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the net assets acquired in a business combination and is not amortized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The provisions of SFAS No. 142 require that the Company allocate its goodwill to its various reporting units, determine the carrying value of those businesses, and estimate the fair value of the reporting units so that a two-step goodwill impairment test can be performed. In the first step of the goodwill impairment test, the fair value of each reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. Management reviews, on an annual basis, the carrying value of goodwill in order to determine whether impairment has occurred. Impairment is based on several factors including the Company’s projection of future discounted operating cash flows. If an impairment of the carrying value were to be indicated by this review, the Company would perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test in order to determine the amount of goodwill impairment, if any.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 are as follows: (see Note 3 – Acquisitions and Disposals):
         
Balance as of December 31, 2005
  $ 41,882  
Goodwill acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2006
    49,817  
Goodwill adjustment related to the FERS net assets acquired
    347  
 
     
Balance as of September 30, 2006
  $ 92,046  
 
     
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, as revised by SAB No. 104. As such, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title transfer has occurred, the price is fixed or readily determinable and collectibility is probable. Sales are recorded net of sales discounts.
PWS, FSS, HSR of Louisiana and Fireline recognize revenue at the time the contract and related services are performed.
Southern Exposure and Cornerstone recognize revenue for product sales at the time the related products are shipped to the customer. These subsidiaries recognize revenue for installation jobs upon complete installation of the cabinets or countertops and inspection by the customer. Deferred revenue represents amounts billed to customers and collected prior to completion of the installation of the cabinets or countertops and inspection by the customer.
Fireline also recognizes revenue from certain jobs using the percentage-of-completion method. Under the percentage of completion method, revenues with respect to individual contracts are recognized in the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to total estimated costs and progress towards completion. These estimates are dependent upon judgments including material costs and quantities, labor productivity, subcontractor performance and other costs. In addition, disputes on our projects can and sometimes do occur with our customers, subcontractors and equipment vendors that require significant judgment as to the ultimate resolution and may take an extended period of time to resolve. As projects are executed, estimates of total revenues and total costs at completion are refined and revised. These estimates change due to factors and events affection execution and often include estimates for resolution of disputes that may be settled in negotiations or through arbitration, mediation or other legal methods. The percentage-of-completion method requires that adjustments to estimated revenues and costs, including estimated claim recoveries, be recognized on a cumulative basis, when the adjustments are identified. When these adjustments are identified near or at the end of a project, the full impact of the change in estimate would be recognized as a change in the gross profit on the contract in that period. This can result in a material impact on our results for a single reporting period. General and administrative costs are not allocated to contract costs and are charged to expense as incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation
At September 30, 2006, the Company maintained two shareholder approved stock-based incentive compensation plans that permit the issuance of equity-based compensation awards to employees, qualified consultants and directors, including stock options and stock purchase rights. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for these plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, as permitted by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compensation expense of $1,108 was recognized in the accompanying statements of operations for options issued to employees below market value pursuant to APB No. 25.
On January 1, 2006, the first day of the Company’s fiscal year 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), Share Based Payment, using the modified-prospective transition method. Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted and not yet vested prior to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to December 31, 2005 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). Results for prior periods have not been restated. Since stock-based compensation expense recognized in the statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, the compensation expense has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS No. 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company estimated forfeitures to be 2% of the awards issued.
The Company calculates stock-based compensation by estimating the fair value of each option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company’s determination of fair value of share-based payment awards are made as of their respective dates of grant using that option pricing model and is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as a number of subjective assumptions. These variables include, but are not limited to, the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behavior. The expected term of options granted is derived from historical data on employee exercises and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The risk-free rate selected to value any particular grant is based on the U.S. Treasury rate that corresponds to the pricing term of the grant effective as of the date of the grant. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price. These factors could change in the future, affecting the determination of stock-based compensation expense in future periods. The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for use in estimating the value of traded options that have no vesting or hedging restrictions and are fully transferable. Because the Company’s options have certain characteristics that are significantly different from traded options, the existing valuation models may not provide an accurate measure of the fair value of the Company’s options. Although the fair value of the Company’s options is determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R) using an option-pricing model, that value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/willing seller market transaction. The calculated compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the options.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company presented all tax benefits of deductions resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows in the statement of cash flows. SFAS No. 123(R) requires the cash flows resulting from the tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefit) to be classified as financing cash flows. The $9,171 excess tax benefit classified as a financing cash inflow during the nine month period ended September 30, 2006, would have been classified as an operating cash inflow if the Company had continued to account for its share-based payments under APB No. 25.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recognized compensation cost of $151 and $449, respectively, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations, as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). The effect of the change in applying the original provisions of SFAS No. 123 resulted in lowering income from continuing operations, income before taxes, net income and basic and diluted earnings per share in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 are as follows:

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and net income per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to options granted under the Company’s stock plans. For purposes of this pro forma disclosure, the fair value of the options is estimated using the Black Scholes option-pricing model and amortized on a straight-line basis to expense over the options’ vesting period:

Stock Plans
The Company maintains the 1998 Stock Option Plan (the “1998 Plan”) and the 2001 Stock Plan (the “2001 Plan” and collectively, the “Stock Plans”). The Stock Plans are shareholder approved stock-based incentive compensation plans that permit the issuance of equity-based compensation awards, including incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options and stock purchase rights. Under the Stock Plans, incentive stock options have been granted to employees, and non-qualified stock options have been granted to employees, qualified consultants and board members. Stock purchase rights, which are available under the 2001 Plan, have been granted to directors. The compensation committee serves as the administrator of the 1998 Plan, and the entire board of directors serves as the administrator of the 2001 Plan. The administrator of each Stock Plan determines eligibility, vesting schedules and exercise prices for awards granted under the Stock Plan which it administers. The Company issues new shares or shares held in treasury to satisfy award exercises under its Stock Plans.
A summary of the shares reserved for grant and awards available for grant under each Stock Plan is as follows:
                 
    September 30, 2006
    Shares Reserved   Awards Available
    for Grant   for Grant
1998 Stock Plan
    3,500       393  
2001 Stock Plan
    6,500       2,828  
 
               
 
    10,000       3,221  
The Company issues awards to employees, qualified consultants and directors that generally vest over time based solely on continued employment or service during the related vesting period and are exercisable over a five to ten year service period. Typically, employee awards vest monthly over a three year period, although awards are sometimes granted with immediate vesting and in certain cases, vesting of awards has been accelerated. Options are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant, although in certain instances, the exercise price has been higher than the market price on the date of grant. Directors have typically received immediately vested share purchase rights at an exercise price of $-0- per share, which are subject to forfeiture on a proportionate basis in the event that a director’s service terminates prior to the end of the current board term.

Table of Contents

The fair value of each stock-based award is estimated on the grant date using the Black Scholes option-pricing model. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price. The expected term of options granted subsequent to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) is derived using the simplified method as defined in the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 107, Implementation of FASB 123R. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury interest rates in effect at the time of grant. The fair value of options granted was estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions:
                 
    For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
    2006   2005
Expected term (in years)
    6.5       5

As of September 30, 2006, there was $4,417 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to employee and director stock option compensation arrangements. That cost is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the next 1.9 weighted average years. The total fair value of shares vested during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $185 and $278, respectively, net of an estimated forfeiture rate of 2%.
Summary of Restricted Stock Awards
Restricted stock awards are independent of option grants and are generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates or a member of the Company’s board of directors resigns prior to the release of the restrictions. The Company expenses the cost of the restricted stock awards, which is determined to be the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant, ratably over the period during which the restrictions lapse. The Company committed to issue 335 shares of restricted common stock, during the nine month period ended September 30, 2006, of which 95 and 120 were issued in April 2006 and July 2006, respectively.
Nonvested restricted stock awards as of September, 2006 and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were as follows (in thousands, except weighted average grant date fair value):
                 
            Weighted-  
            Average  
    Number     Grant Date

    216     $ 6.35  
 
           
As of September 30, 2006, there was $ 1,372 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to nonvested restricted stock awards. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.25 years.

Issuance of stock for Non-Cash Consideration
All issuances of the Company’s stock for non-cash consideration have been assigned a dollar amount equaling either the market value of the shares issued or the value of consideration received, whichever is more readily determinable. The majority of the non-cash consideration received pertains to services rendered by consultants and others and have been valued at the market value of the shares issued. In certain issuances, the Company may discount the value assigned to the issued shares for illiquidity and restrictions on resale.
Per Share Data
Basic earnings per share (“BEPS”) are computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period of computation. Diluted earnings per share (“DEPS”) give effect to all potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period of computation. The computation of DEPS does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings.
The following table reconciles BEPS and DEPS and the related weighted average number of shares outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2006:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) finalized and issued Interpretation No. 48, (“FIN 48”), entitled “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” which defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions as well as guidance regarding the measurement of the resulting tax benefits. FIN 48 requires a company to recognize for financial statement purposes the impact of a tax position if that position is “more likely than not” to prevail (defined as a likelihood of more than fifty percent of being sustained upon audit, based on the technical merits of the tax position). FIN 48 will be effective as of the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on its financial statements.

In September 2006, the SEC Staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”) to require registrants to quantify financial statement misstatements that have been accumulating in their financial statements for years and to correct them, if material, without restating. Under the provisions of SAB 108, financial statement misstatements are to be quantified and evaluated for materiality using both balance sheet and income statement approaches. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SAB 108 on its financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, entitled “Fair Value Measurements,” to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement provides guidance related to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value and disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157 on its financial statements.

Cornerstone Building and Remodeling Division
During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company’s management committed to a plan to dispose of certain assets and liabilities of its building and remodeling division, which was acquired in April 2005.
On March 24, 2006, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement to sell certain assets and liabilities used in connection with the operation of the building and remodeling division of Cornerstone, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. The sales price included $500 in cash paid at closing and $3,000 as a note receivable. See Note 4 — Notes Receivable for additional information. The Company does not consider the disposition to be significant to the Company’s operations, and does not consider the agreements entered into in connection with the disposition to be material to the Company. At September 30, 2006, the note receivable was paid in full through the receipt of cash of $1,375 and transferring inventory to the Company valued at $2,125.
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment of Disposal of Long Lived Assets,” the assets and liabilities related to this transaction have been segregated from continuing operations and are reported as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations held for sale in the accompanying balance sheets, all of which were liquidated as of September 30, 2006. In addition, operations associated with these assets and liabilities and the gain on the sale have been classified as gain (loss) from discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of income.

Other Acquisitions
No acquisitions were consummated in the second quarter of 2006. However, during the first quarter of 2006, the Company consummated two separate acquisitions. The acquisitions were accounted for as purchases. The combined purchase price was $765, payable in promissory notes of $745 and cash of $20. The excess of the purchase price over the tangible net assets acquired of $920 was assigned to goodwill at September 30, 2006 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Proforma disclosure information is not presented because the operations acquired are not considered significant to the Company.
NOTE 4 — NOTES RECEIVABLE
As of September 30, 2006, the Company has a note receivable with a balance of $750. The note receivable, as amended, required payments to the Company of $150 paid in March 2006, to be followed by semi-annual payments of $188 commencing on June 30, 2006 and a final payment on December 31, 2007. The note receivable is personally guaranteed by a third party. The Company recorded this note receivable with an implicit rate of 4.55%. The note is in default and is in the process of being restructured. The Company’s management does not believe a reserve is necessary at this time.
On May 24, 2006, the Company entered into an exclusive agreement with a modular housing sales agent to provide installation services for modular housing in New Orleans and surrounding areas. In connection with the agreement, the Company agreed to loan the sales agent up to $800 under a promissory note. The note required one balloon installment of all accrued but unpaid interest and all outstanding principal on August 17, 2006. In August 2006, the note was restructured to change the maturity date to February 2007, for the debtor to provide security for the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, to require a portion of proceeds from sales of modular houses to be used to pay down the note, and to provide for certain other additional terms and conditions. The note bears interest at the prime rate of interest plus 2% on a per annum basis. At September 30, 2006 the note receivable balance was $572.
NOTE 5 — DEBT
In November 2006, the Company entered into a new $60,000 credit facility with a consortium of financial institutions experienced in providing credit to construction companies. The new facility, which replaces the Company’s previous $10,000 line of credit, was obtained to support the Company’s working capital requirements and reduce the Company’s overall borrowing costs. See Note 10 – Subsequent Events for additional information regarding the new credit facility.
In March 2006, the Company obtained a $10,000 revolving line of credit from a financial institution, which was in effect on September 30, 2006 but was terminated in connection with the Company obtaining a new credit facility in November 2006. The annual interest rate on the line of credit was the financial institution’s prime rate of interest less one quarter of one percent (0.25%), which was equal to 8% at September 30, 2006. Interest payments on the outstanding principal balance of the line of credit were due monthly, and the line of credit would have matured on September 1, 2007. The borrowings from the line of credit were used for working capital purposes and to finance a portion of the cash component of the purchase price of the Fireline acquisition. See Note 3 – Acquisitions and Disposals for additional information on the Fireline acquisition.
Subject to the provisions of the line of credit, the Company could borrow, repay and reborrow principal under the line of credit from time to time during its term. The principal amount outstanding under the line of credit was not permitted to exceed the lesser of (a) $10,000 or (b) an amount equal to two times the Company’s free cash flow for the immediately preceding two calendar quarters (“the Credit Limit”). For purposes of the line of credit, the Company’s free cash flow was defined for each period of determination as (a) net income plus the sum of interest, depreciation and amortization, less (b) distributions or dividends, less (c) accounts receivable of the Company and its subsidiaries unpaid 180 days or more after invoice date, plus (d) reserves specifically established against the receivables described in (c) to the extent such reserves are deducted in determining net income for the period in question. In connection with the line of credit, the Company paid the financial institution a commitment fee in the amount of $100. The Company was also obligated to pay an unused facility fee on the daily average unused amount of the line of credit less taxes paid equal to one-half of one percent (0.5%) per annum, calculated and payable quarterly in arrears.
The line of credit was secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, excluding Fireline, and the capital stock of such subsidiaries, excluding Fireline, pursuant to a Pledge and Security Agreement. The line of credit was guaranteed by the subsidiaries of the Company, excluding Fireline, pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement.
Under the line of credit, the financial institution had agreed to issue letters of credit meeting the requirements of the financial institution set forth in the line of credit for the benefit of the Company in an amount not to exceed $2,000 in the aggregate, and subject to the amount of cash advanced under the line of credit plus amounts outstanding under the letters of credit not being in excess of the Credit Limit. Pursuant to the terms of the line of credit, for each letter of credit issued by the financial institution, the Company agreed to pay a letter of credit fee equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the face amount of the letter of credit, but not less than $5, plus other fees charged under the financial institution’s then-current policies.

The financial covenants included current assets to current liabilities ratio and a debt service coverage ratio. With certain exceptions, the Company was prohibited under the line of credit from incurring any debt or permitting any liens to be placed on its assets or the assets of its subsidiaries. Under the terms of the line of credit, the Company had agreed not to take certain actions, prior to the financial institution’s approval, including becoming a party to a merger or consolidation, acquiring assets, and subject to certain exceptions, issuing securities.

Pursuant to the Board Compensation Plan adopted by the board of directors in July 2006, each board member and one former board member was granted immediately exercisable stock purchase rights exercisable for 20 shares of restricted stock on July 26, 2006. Each stock purchase right represents the right to receive one share of restricted common stock at a price of $-0- per share. The stock purchase rights were exercised immediately upon grant. The restricted shares of common stock have the same voting and dividend rights as the Company’s other outstanding shares of common stock. A total of 120 shares of restricted common stock were granted to current and former directors and will vest over a period of 9 months commensurate with service as a board member over the same period. The restricted shares of common stock are subject to a lock-up agreement pursuant to which 50% are released from lock-up on December 31, 2006, and the remaining 50% are released from lock-up on December 31, 2007. However, for the current directors the vesting of such shares are subject to continuing service as a board member. Unearned stock-based compensation related to the restricted shares is determined based on the fair value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant, which was approximately $1,524 and will be amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of which approximately $203 was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.
In May and June 2006, our President and CEO engaged in separate transactions resulting in disgorgement of profits to the Company within the meaning of the provisions of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under that provision, profits made by officers, directors and certain shareholders on transactions within a six month period of a matching transaction inure to the benefit of and may be recovered by the Company.

These officers paid, and we accepted, an aggregate of approximately $245 as disgorgement of profits on the transactions. The profit disgorgement has been recorded as an increase to stockholders’ equity in the second quarter of 2006.
NOTE 7 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
The nature and scope of the Company’s business operations bring it into regular contact with the general public, a variety of businesses and government agencies. These activities inherently subject the Company to potential litigation, which are defended in the normal course of business.
The Company is occasionally involved in other litigation matters relating to claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Other than the class action lawsuits described above, the Company’s management believes that there are no claims or actions pending or threatened against the Company, the ultimate disposition of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. However, if a court or jury rules against us and the ruling is ultimately sustained on appeal and damages are awarded against us, such ruling could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Indemnities and Guarantees
The Company has made certain indemnities and guarantees, under which it may be required to make payments to a guaranteed or indemnified party, in relation to certain transactions. The Company indemnifies its directors, officers, employees and agents to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware. In connection with its facility leases, the Company has indemnified its lessors for certain claims arising from the use of the facilities. In connection with certain of its debt, stock purchase and other agreements, the Company has indemnified lenders, sellers, and various other parties for certain claims arising from the Company’s breach of representations, warranties and other provisions contained in the agreements. Historically, the Company has not been obligated to make any payments for these obligations and no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 10 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Associated Acquisition
On October 26, 2006, HSR of Louisiana acquired Associated, a Louisiana limited liability company engaged in providing construction and rebuilding services to commercial and residential properties. The acquisition closed on October 26, 2006, which was effective on October 1, 2006.
The acquisition was accomplished pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger among the Company, HSR of Louisiana, Associated and the prior owners of Associated dated October 26, 2006 (the “Merger Agreement”) whereby Associated was merged with and into HSR of Louisiana, with HSR of Louisiana continuing as the surviving corporation following the merger.
Consideration paid or to be paid to the prior owners of Associated in connection with the merger includes the following: (i) up to $9,000 in cash to be paid from accounts receivable of the Associated division of HSR of Louisiana (the “Associated Division”) collected in the two-year period following the closing; (ii) 1,500 shares of Home Solutions’ restricted common stock, issued at the closing; and (iii) additional shares of common stock not to exceed $55,001 in value and in any event, not to exceed 900 shares, to be issued if and when necessary to cause the aggregate fair market value of the common stock issued to the prior owners of Associated to exceed by one dollar, the cash consideration paid to the prior owners of Associated under clause (i) above. In addition, the Company issued warrants to the prior owners of Associated exercisable for up to 2,000 additional shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, that vest and become exercisable in increments of 100 shares for every $2,500 in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) in excess of $9,000 in EBITDA earned by the Associated Division in the two-year period following the closing. The Company also agreed to pay the prior owners of Associated 5% of the net profits earned and collected by the Associated Division related to a specified future accounts receivable.
The Merger Agreement contains various customary representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the parties. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Home Solutions agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC registering the common stock issued and issuable pursuant to the Merger Agreement, including the common stock issuable under the warrants, for resale under the Securities Act of 1933 within 12 months after the closing.

The Company also agreed to indemnify the prior owners of Associated from personal guarantees entered into in connection with the business of Associated prior to the merger and to use commercially reasonable efforts to remove such persons from the personal guarantees after the closing. The prior owners of Associated agreed not to compete with the Associated Division for two years after the closing.
Credit Facility
On November 1, 2006, the Company obtained a $60,000 credit facility from a group of lenders led by a national bank as the administrative agent. The new credit facility, which replaces the Company’s previous $10,000 line of credit, was obtained to support the Company’s working capital requirements and reduces the overall borrowing costs of the Company.
The credit facility provides for a $15,000 term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a line of credit of up to $45,000 (the “Line of Credit”). The credit facility was established under a Credit Agreement entered into among the Company and the Lenders dated November 1, 2006 (the “Credit Agreement”). The proceeds of the Term Loan were used to refinance outstanding debt of Fireline, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The proceeds of the Line of Credit will be used primarily for working capital purposes. Each Lender’s commitment to fund its share of the Term Loan and the Line of Credit is evidenced by a promissory note executed by the Company in favor of such Lender.
The Company can borrow, repay and reborrow principal under the Line of Credit from time to time during its term. Revolving credit advances require a minimum draw of $1,000. The amount of principal available to be drawn under the Line of Credit may not exceed the borrowing base, less the sum of (a) outstanding principal drawn under the Line of Credit, plus (b) the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan, plus (c) the aggregate amount of all outstanding letters of credit. For purposes of the Credit Agreement, the

19


Table of Contents

“borrowing base” is defined for each period of determination as the sum of (a) 80% of the value of eligible accounts receivable, plus (b) 50% of the value of certain designated receivables through June 30, 2007, plus (c) the lesser of (i) $5,000 and (ii) 50% of the value of eligible inventory. Eligible accounts receivable includes accounts receivable generated in the ordinary course of business that satisfy the Agent’s conditions, and excludes certain unacceptable accounts receivable, such as accounts more than 180 days past due. Eligible inventory includes granite materials held for sale in the ordinary course of business, valued at the lower of cost or fair market value, excluding inventory that does not meet the Agent’s standards.
The annual interest rate on the Term Loan and the Line of Credit is equal to the higher of (a) the prime rate of interest as quoted in the Wall Street Journal, less 25 basis points (0.25%) for periods prior to June 30, 2007, and less 50 basis points (0.50%) for periods after June 30, 2007, or (b) the federal funds rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 25 basis points (0.25%) for periods prior to June 30, 2007. Accrued interest payments on the outstanding principal balance of the Line of Credit are due quarterly. Principal under the Line of Credit is due at maturity, or November 1, 2009. Payments on the Term Loan, consisting of $1,250 in principal and accrued interest, are due quarterly beginning January 1, 2007. The credit facility expires, and all outstanding obligations under the Line of Credit and the Term Loan must be repaid to the Lenders, on the maturity date of November 1, 2009.
In consideration of the Lenders originating the credit facility, the Company paid the Lenders a origination fee in the amount of $300. The Company is also obligated to pay an unused facility fee on the daily average unused amount of the Line of Credit equal to fifty basis points (0.50%) per annum, calculated and payable quarterly in arrears.
The Lenders agreed to issue letters of credit under the Line of Credit to fund bonding required for certain reconstruction projects in an amount not to exceed $7,500 in the aggregate, subject to the sum of (a) cash advanced under the Line of Credit, plus (b) amounts outstanding under the Term Note, plus (c) the aggregate amount of all outstanding letters of credit, not being in excess of the borrowing base. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, for each letter of credit issued by the Lenders, the Company agrees to pay an annual letter of credit fee equal to 2.0% of the face amount of the letter of credit, but not less than $5,000, plus other fees charged under the Lenders’ then-current policies.
The Line of Credit and Term Loan are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and the capital stock of such subsidiaries pursuant to a Pledge and Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”). The Line of Credit and Term Loan are guaranteed by the subsidiaries of Home Solutions pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement (the “Guaranty Agreement”).
The Credit Agreement contains covenants, including financial covenants, with which Home Solutions and its subsidiaries must comply. The financial covenants include a current assets to current liabilities ratio, a debt service coverage ratio, a maximum leverage amount, and a limit on annual capital expenditures.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations or Plan of Operation (Dollars and shares in thousands except per share data).
Overview
Home Solutions is a provider of recovery, restoration and rebuilding/remodeling services to commercial and residential areas that are (i) prone to flooding, hurricanes, tornados, fires or other naturally occurring and repetitive weather-related emergencies; and/or (ii) experiencing robust housing development. With operations in the South, Gulf Coast regions and California, we believe that the Company is well positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for our suite of Recovery, Restoration and Rebuilding/Remodeling services. Home Solutions is a Delaware corporation with principal executive offices located at 1500 Dragon Street, Suite B, Dallas, Texas 75207. Our website is located at www.homcorp.com. Our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer is Frank Fradella, our Chief Operating Officer and President is Rick O’Brien, and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer is Jeff Mattich.
Growth Strategy
Our growth strategy is to expand our core service offerings through the future acquisition of strategic, specialized, profitable and well-managed companies operating in our target markets and business segments with a proven history of internal growth. Our recent acquisitions have focused on the Recovery segment of our business. Most recently, on October 26, 2006, we acquired Associated, a general contractor providing construction and rebuilding services for commercial and residential properties in Louisiana and Mississippi, through the merger of Associated into HSR of Louisiana, our wholly-owned subsidiary. We believe that the Associated acquisition positions us to more fully participate in the restoration efforts currently underway in the New Orleans and gulf coast regions. In the third quarter, we significantly expanded our Recovery services and our capability to respond to major catastrophes through the July 31, 2006 acquisition of Fireline, a Florida-based company specializing in disaster recovery services, which was effective as of July 1, 2006. We entered the Recovery market last year by expanding into the hardest hit areas of the 2005 hurricane season through the formation of HSR of Louisiana, a wholly-owned subsidiary. HSR of Louisiana then acquired substantially all of the assets of FERS, a company engaged in recovery services, in September of 2005
We expect the recovery, restoration and rebuilding efforts associated with the 2005 hurricanes to occur in stages and to extend for two to five years. The Company plans to take advantage of the opportunity to service these areas through each stage with its Recovery, Restoration and Rebuilding/Remodeling service offerings.
We also see the opportunity to further capitalize on the robust growth in housing in our target markets through the Company’s relationship with Centex Corp. (“Centex”), a leading public homebuilder, as well as with the expansion of our relationships with retailers including Home Depot, Inc. (“Home Depot”).
Service Offerings
Our business consists of three integrated service offerings: (i) Recovery; (ii) Restoration; and (iii) Rebuilding/Remodeling. For business segment reporting, our Recovery and Restoration services are combined into a single business segment. We believe that the natural progression of our business offerings in markets affected by weather-related emergencies, from Recovery, to Restoration, to Rebuilding/Remodeling, increases our opportunities across all three service offerings.
Recovery
The Company is a first responder to clean up activities after weather-related emergencies. We have significant operations throughout disaster impacted areas in Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. Fireline and HSR of Louisiana also provided recovery services in Florida during the 2004 hurricane season, which we believe have positioned the Company to generate revenue in our Restoration

21


Table of Contents

and Rebuilding/Remodeling segments in the Florida markets. The Company’s Recovery services include catastrophic storm response, clean up and removal of debris, initial set up services in an impacted area (including power, lodging, sustenance and training), water mitigation, drying, dehumidification and preparing affected areas for the next stage of restoration and rebuilding. We have trained employees who provide onsite first response to respond to fire, water and weather-related emergencies in our target markets to both commercial and residential clients. We believe the Recovery segment of our business to not only be of high growth and profitability, but we also seek to capitalize on synergistic opportunities by continuing to provide these services in areas that need the full spectrum of restoration, rebuilding and remodeling services that the Company can provide. Currently we provide these services on an hourly rate to our commercial and residential clients, principally as a subcontractor to customers providing additional services in these markets. We pursue bids on recovery services contracts that are reimbursable to our clients through their insurance agencies, as well as government branches and agencies.
Restoration
Our Restoration segment focuses on the next stage of services after the initial clean up and catastrophic storm response. Services presently included in our Restoration business segment involve water, fire and wind restoration, general contracting services, mold remediation, contents restoration, air decontamination, asbestos and lead paint removal, cleaning, drying and deodorization of carpet and furniture and moving and storage services. The following details the types of restoration services we provide:
General Contractor Services: Fireline is licensed as a general contractor in Florida and offers full interior and exterior restoration and reconstruction services in that state. Fireline also performs work in Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Georgia. HSR of Louisiana is licensed as a general contractor in Louisiana, and is actively involved in the restoration of storm-damaged properties in the New Orleans and gulf coast regions. The recent acquisition of Associated has positioned HSR of Louisiana to participate in larger projects and on a larger scale than previously would have been possible.
Fire and Water Damage Restoration: We provide trained employees to respond to fire, water and weather-related emergencies, to inspect structural members and contents damaged by water, to determine the likelihood or extent of mold growth, and to provide immediate cleaning, drying, moving, storage, and deodorization, among other services. Fireline, which specializes in disaster recovery services, insurance estimates and repairs for commercial, industrial and residential properties, is certified in multiple aspects of the restoration industry, including smoke, fire, water and mold. As most cases of mold are associated with excess moisture, we believe that our Recovery services’ response to event-related damage will provide significant additional revenue opportunities for our Restoration segment. The cost and time requirements of restoration projects can vary dramatically from case-to-case.
Indoor Air Contamination: Through PWS, we provide indoor air contamination services, including contamination from mold, asbestos and lead paint to homeowners in California and to a lesser extent in Florida. With increased media attention regarding the health threat of mold, fewer insurance options, and property transfers at risk, current market conditions have created significant demand for mold inspections, certifications and remediation services. These services consist of property and system inspections, surface and air testing, project design, microbial removal, light interior demolition, repair and specialized cleaning work. Customer opportunities are developed through a regional sales force as well as through referrals by real estate firms, insurance adjusters, mortgage companies, attorneys and nationally branded retailers. The Company uses its industry experience to give efficacy to its processes and provide homeowners with quality assurance.
Cleaning and Fabric Protection: Through FSS, we provide fabric protection services to protect furniture, carpet and draperies from stains and daily wear through both Company-owned locations as well as over forty licensed locations in 23 states and the District of Columbia. This niche market is primarily targeted at above-average income homeowners. We also provide air duct cleaning services to remove particulate (organic and inorganic) material, which can cause allergic reactions and is often the breeding ground for many types of mold, from heating and air conditioning systems.
Rebuilding/Remodeling
Through Southern Exposure and Cornerstone, we offer custom cabinet production and cabinet and countertop installation services. Southern Exposure manufactures and installs a high-end product line of cabinets and countertops and Cornerstone installs custom marble and granite countertops for residential customers. Currently, we manufacture and install cabinets and kitchen countertops for Centex, a leading public homebuilder, in its southwest Florida market. We also install granite countertops for Home Depot in Florida, Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina. Through our cabinet and countertop installation services, we seek to generate additional opportunities across our other business segments.
Use of Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies
In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we make estimates, assumptions and judgments that can have a significant effect on our revenues, income from operations, and net income, as well as on the value of certain assets on our balance sheet. We believe

22


Table of Contents

that there are several accounting policies that are critical to an understanding of our historical and future performance as these policies affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, and significant estimates and judgments applied by management. While there are a number of accounting policies, methods and estimates affecting our financial statements, areas that are particularly significant include accounts receivable allowance, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, and goodwill. See Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – to the financial statements included in this report for further discussion of our accounting policies.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title transfer has occurred, the price is fixed or readily determinable and collectibility is probable. Sales are recorded net of sales discounts. PWS, FSS, HSR of Louisiana and Fireline recognize revenue at the time the contract and related services are performed.
Southern Exposure and Cornerstone recognize revenue for product sales at the time the related products are shipped to the customer. These subsidiaries recognize revenue for installation jobs upon complete installation of the cabinets or countertops and inspection by the customer. Deferred revenue represents amounts billed to customers and collected prior to completion of the installation of the cabinets or countertops and inspection by the customer.
Fireline also recognizes revenue from certain jobs using the percentage-of-completion method. Under the percentage of completion method, revenues with respect to individual contracts are recognized in the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to total estimated costs and progress towards completion. These estimates are dependent upon judgments including material costs and quantities, labor productivity, subcontractor performance and other costs. In addition, disputes on our projects can and sometimes do occur with our customers, subcontractors and equipment vendors that require significant judgment as to the ultimate resolution and may take an extended period of time to resolve. As projects are executed, estimates of total revenues and total costs at completion are refined and revised. These estimates change due to factors and events affection execution and often include estimates for resolution of disputes that may be settled in negotiations or through arbitration, mediation or other legal methods. The percentage-of-completion method requires that adjustments to estimated revenues and costs, including estimated claim recoveries, be recognized on a cumulative basis, when the adjustments are identified. When these adjustments are identified near or at the end of a project, the full impact of the change in estimate would be recognized as a change in the gross profit on the contract in that period. This can result in a material impact on our results for a single reporting period. General and administrative costs are not allocated to contract costs and are charged to expense as incurred.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company maintains two shareholder approved stock-based incentive compensation plans that permit the issuance of equity-based compensation awards to employees, qualified consultants and directors, including stock options and stock purchase rights.
On January 1, 2006, the first day of the Company’s fiscal year 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, using the modified prospective transaction method. Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2006, includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted and not yet vested prior to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). Results for prior periods have not been restated. Since stock-based compensation expense recognized in the statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, the compensation expense has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS No. 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. We estimated forfeitures to be 2% of the awards issued.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company accounted for these plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, as permitted by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation. No stock-based employee compensation cost was recognized in the statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, as all options granted under the Stock Plans had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recognized compensation cost of $449, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the unaudited consolidated statement of operations included in this report, as a result of SFAS No. 123(R).
Our assessment of the estimated fair value of the stock options granted is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables and the related tax impact. We utilize the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of stock options granted. Generally, our calculation of the fair value for options granted under SFAS No. 123R is similar to the calculation of fair value under SFAS No. 123 with the exception of the treatment of forfeitures. The fair value of stock purchase rights is based on the market price of our common stock on the grant date.

23


Table of Contents

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. This model also requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including:
  (a)   The expected volatility of our common stock price, which we determine based on historical volatility of our common stock over the prior eighteen month period;
 
  (b)   Expected dividends (which do not apply, as we do not anticipate issuing dividends);
 
  (c)   Expected life of the award, which is estimated based on the historical award exercise behavior of our employees; and
 
  (d)   Expected forfeitures of awards, which is estimated based on the historical turnover of our employees and expected turnover in the future. Prior to adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we recognized forfeitures under SFAS No. 123 as they occurred.
In the future, we may elect to use different assumptions under the Black Scholes valuation model or a different valuation model, which could result in a significantly different impact on our net income or loss.
See Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – to the unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this report for additional information regarding our accounting policies for stock-based compensation.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the net assets acquired in a business combination and is not amortized in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The provisions of SFAS No. 142 require that the Company allocate its goodwill to its various reporting units, determine the carrying value of those businesses, and estimate the fair value of the reporting units so that a two-step goodwill impairment test can be performed. In the first step of the goodwill impairment test, the fair value of each reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. Management reviews, on an annual basis, the carrying value of goodwill in order to determine whether impairment has occurred. Impairment is based on several factors including the Company’s projection of future discounted operating cash flows. If an impairment of the carrying value were to be indicated by this review, the Company would perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test in order to determine the amount of goodwill impairment, if any.
See Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – to the unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this report for additional information regarding our accounting policies for goodwill.
Results of Operations (Dollars and Shares in Thousands)
Comparison of three months ended September 30, 2006 to three months ended September 30, 2005
Recovery/Restoration Services
Net Sales. Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $39,774, compared to $10,546 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The sales increase from the same period in 2005 is due primarily to the inclusion of Fireline sales as a result of the Fireline acquisition, and their continued work in Florida and Louisiana due to hurricane-related damage, and the increased revenues generated from HSR of Louisiana in the New Orleans region as a result of post-hurricane Katrina rebuilding efforts.
Costs of Sales. Costs of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2006 were $21,913, compared to $4,916 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in the total costs of sales from the same period in 2005 is due to the inclusion of Fireline costs as a result of the acquisition of Fireline, and their continued work in Florida and Louisiana due to hurricane-related damage, as well as HSR of Louisiana’s work in rebuilding the New Orleans region. Costs of sales as a percentage of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 were 55.1% and 46.6%, respectively. Gross margins were higher due to the storm recovery efforts for hurricanes Rita and Katrina, which traditionally generates higher margins than rebuilding work. In addition, the increased volume of Fireline Restoration work completed in 2006 was at lower margins than the prior year.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $3,719 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $1,541 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. This represents an increase of $2,311 from the same period in 2005, primarily due to the inclusion of Fireline’s operations as a result of the acquisition, effective July 1, 2006, as well as increased costs associated with HSR of Louisiana’s expanded operations in the Louisiana market. SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 were 9.4% and 14.6%, respectively. In addition, the Company recognized the full nine month affect of the Marble Man and Fiber Seal of LA acquisitions in 2006.

Net Sales. The revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from continuing operations was $9,303, compared to $8,431 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The increase from the same period in 2005 is due primarily to an increase in Southern Exposure’s cabinet and countertop sales.
Costs of Sales. Costs of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from continuing operations were $6,107, compared to $5,481 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in total costs of sales from the prior period in 2005 is due to the increase in Southern Exposure’s sales. Segment costs of sales as a percentage of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was 65.6% and 65.0%, respectively.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expenses from continuing operations were $2,019 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $1,676 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. This represents an increase of $344 from the same period in 2005, primarily due to the expansion of operational support and sales growth and the expansion of Cornerstone into new markets to service additional Home Depot locations and increased transportation costs associated with fuel. Segment SG&A as a percentage of segment sales for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 were 21.7% and 19.9%, respectively.
Corporate
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Corporate SG&A expenses were $2,001 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $1,614 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The increase from the same period in 2005 is due primarily to increased legal, professional fees and consulting fees of $172 associated with Sarbanes-Oxley and board of director compensation of $162. Corporate SG&A expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 as a percentage of total sales were 4.1% and 8.5%, respectively.
Other Income (Expense). Interest expense was $718 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $620 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in interest expense is related to the debt issued and acquired related to the Fireline acquisition, effective July 1, 2006.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense was $4,389 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $286 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. In 2005, the Company utilized its net operating loss tax carry forward provision to offset 2005 federal taxable income, resulting in a reduction in taxes.
Discontinued Operations. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company’s management committed to a plan to dispose of certain assets and liabilities of the building and remodeling division of Cornerstone. The disposal allowed the Company to focus on supporting higher net profit margin opportunities. In March of 2006 the Company completed the sale of certain assets and liabilities used in connection with the operations of the building and remodeling division of Cornerstone. As a result of the sale, its operations and the gain on the sale have been reclassified to discontinued operations. During the three month period ended September 30, 2006, there were no discontinued operation activities or transactions.
Comparison of nine months ended September 30, 2006 to nine months ended September 30, 2005
Recovery/Restoration Services
Net Sales. Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $63,399, compared to $20,557 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The sales increase from the same period in 2005 is due primarily to the inclusion of Fireline sales as a result of the Fireline acquisition, effective July 1, 2006, as well as the Company’s increased revenues from HSR of Louisiana, associated with the reconstruction efforts in New Orleans.
Costs of Sales. Costs of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $31,377, compared to $9,802 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in the total costs of sales from the same period in 2005 is due to the inclusion of Fireline costs as a result of the acquisition of Fireline, effective July 1,2006, and HSR of Louisiana’s costs associated with the reconstruction efforts in New Orleans. Costs of sales as a percentage of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 were 49.5% and 47.7%, respectively. Gross margins were higher in 2005 due to the storm-related recovery work for hurricanes Rita and Katrina, which traditionally generates higher margins than rebuilding work.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expenses were $8,940 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $4,839 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This represents an increase of $4,270 from the same period in 2005, primarily due to the Fireline acquisition, effective July 1, 2006, and the added costs for support and infrastructure of HSR of Louisiana. SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 were 14.1% and 23.5%, respectively. The Company also increased its reserve and allowances associated with its accounts receivable.

Corporate
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Corporate SG&A were $4,596 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $2,699 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase from the same period in 2005 is due to increased legal and professional fees and consulting fees of $923, board of director compensation of $386, increased supporting staff costs of 131, marketing expenses of $73 and investor relations expenses of $67. The Company also incurred expenses of $221 related to its assessment of internal controls as required by the Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Corporate SG&A for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 as a percentage of total sales were 5.0% and 6.6%, respectively.
Other Income (Expense). Interest expense was $836 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $1,399 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease in interest expense is related to the amortization of debt discount of $460 in the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense was $8,057 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $480 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company’s management committed to a plan to dispose of certain assets and liabilities of the building and remodeling division of Cornerstone. The disposal allowed the Company to focus on supporting higher net profit margin opportunities. In March of 2006 the Company sold the building and remodeling division of Cornerstone, which was acquired in the Cornerstone acquisition. As a result of the sale, its operations have been reclassified to discontinued operations. The Company recognized a gain on discontinued operations during this period of $1,741, net of tax, including a pre-tax gain of $3,177. Net sales from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $514 as compared to $4,722 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 cost of sales were $675 and $3,190, respectively, and selling, general and administrative expenses were $317 and $1,800, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s existing capital resources as of September 30, 2006, consist of cash and accounts receivable totaling $67,151, compared to cash and accounts receivable of $28,810 as of December 31, 2005. The increase in the accounts receivable is due primarily to the acquisition of Fireline, effective July 1, 2006 as well as increased revenues for the reconstruction of New Orleans and other hurricane-affected areas. In addition, the hurricane disaster recovery work has increased the amounts due from government agencies or entities owned by the U.S. Government, primarily FEMA and state-owned or controlled entities. While we have a history of recovering amounts related to work performed for the government, the current circumstances increase the uncertainties in estimating the amounts we will actually recover under existing contracts for work we have already performed. If our estimated amounts recoverable on these projects differ from the amounts ultimately collected, those differences will be recognized as income or loss and our earnings and cash flows could be materially impacted. The Company believes that its current financing arrangements are sufficient to finance its working capital needs for the next twelve months. However, continued implementation of the Company’s strategic plan of expanding our core service offerings through the future acquisition of strategic, specialized, profitable and well-managed companies will require additional capital.

In November 2006, the Company entered into a new $60,000 credit facility with a consortium of financial institutions experienced in providing credit to construction companies. The new facility, which replaces the Company’s previous $10,000 line of credit, was obtained to support the Company’s working capital requirements and reduce the Company’s overall borrowing costs. The Company has committed to provide Associated with a $15 million working capital line of credit to be used for operations. The new facility was used to finance acquisition debt and support future working capital needs of the Company.

Contractual Obligations
During the first quarter 2006, the Company entered into a Master Services Agreement with a recovery/restoration contractor to provide stand-by and mobilization services beginning January 2006. Contracted work is inclusive of emergency response remediation abatement and construction of both residential and commercial projects. The Company is required to perform all work in accordance with the plans and specifications identified by the contractor and to furnish labor, materials, equipment and supplies in such quantities and schedule such hours as will be necessary to accomplish the work. If the contractor elects to cease or postpone its projects, the contractor may terminate the contract by written notice. There has been no activity related to this agreement during the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
On May 24, 2006, the Company entered into an exclusive agreement with a modular housing sales agent to provide installation services for modular housing in New Orleans and surrounding areas. In connection with the agreement, the Company agreed to loan the sales agent up to $800 under a promissory note. See Note 4 – Notes Receivable – to the unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this report for additional information regarding the transaction.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Pursuant to the instructions to Item 305(c) of Regulations S-K, quantitative and qualitative disclosures about material risk is not required until after the first fiscal year end in which Item 305 is applicable, and thus, such information is not included.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that as of September 30, 2006 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting them to the material information relating to the Company (or the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“the SEC”), such that the information relating to the Company, required to be disclosed in SEC reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of the control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
