NOTE 1 - BUSINESS

Overview

Environmental Quality Management, Inc. (“EQ”), an Ohio corporation, was formed on September 24, 1990 under the name “Professional Environmental Quality, Inc.” and changed its name to “Environmental Quality Management, Inc.” on September 26, 1990. On February 7, 2011, EQ consummated a “reverse business combination” transaction with Beacon Energy Holdings, Inc. (“Beacon”), a Delaware corporation, and Beacon Acquisition, Inc. (“Acquisition Sub”), an Ohio corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Beacon. EQ merged with and into Acquisition Sub with the result that, on February 7, 2011, EQ became a subsidiary of Beacon (the “Beacon Merger”). Following the Beacon Merger, the former stockholders of EQ owned 78% of the merged company and the former stockholders of Beacon owned 22% of the merged company.

Following the Beacon Merger, Beacon changed its name to “EQM Technologies & Energy, Inc.”, which together with its subsidiaries is referred to herein as the “Company” or “EQM”. As a result of the Beacon Merger, EQ’s former stockholders acquired a majority of EQM’s common stock and EQ’s officers and directors became the officers and directors of EQM. For accounting purposes, the Beacon Merger has been treated as an acquisition of Beacon by EQ, whereby EQ was deemed to be the accounting acquirer. The historical consolidated financial statements prior to February 7, 2011 are those of EQ. In connection with the Beacon Merger, EQ has restated its statements of stockholders’ equity and redeemed preferred stock on a recapitalization basis so that all equity accounts are now presented as if the recapitalization had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented.

EQM’s common stock is quoted on the OTCQB Marketplace under the symbol “EQTE”.

The Company is a leading full service provider of environmental consulting, engineering, program management, clean technology, remediation and construction management and technical services to government and commercial business. The Company’s solutions span the entire life cycle of consulting and engineering projects and are designed to help public and private sector organizations manage and control their environmental risks and comply with regulatory requirements.  The Company has longstanding relationships and multi-year contracts with numerous federal agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”), the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, as well as private sector clients across numerous industries. The Company’s focus areas include air and emissions, water and wastewater, industrial hygiene and safety, and emergency response and hazardous waste site cleanup.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2014, the Company’s cash on hand was $741,198. The Company incurred a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $343,630 and $1,638,785 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. At June 30, 2014, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $10,491,057 and it had total equity of $587,081. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had a deficit in working capital of $7,444,238. The Company has historically met its liquidity requirements through the sale of equity and debt securities, operations and its revolving credit facility.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, cash flows used in operating activities were $1,569,128, consisting primarily of a net loss of $1,648,593.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, cash flows provided by investing activities were $1,212,461, consisting primarily of $1,245,542 that the Company received in January 2014 as contingent consideration in connection with sale of its biodiesel production facility and related assets in January 2013 related to the reinstatement of the federal biodiesel blender’s tax credit with respect to the year 2012.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, cash flows used in financing activities were $1,276,496, consisting primarily of $1,225,861 of net repayments of the Company’s revolving credit facility and $40,631 paid for debt financing costs.

The Company currently has Private Placement Notes (as defined in Note 6) and related accrued interest with aggregate obligations of principal and interest of $5,047,838 and $1,555,052, respectively, outstanding as of June 30, 2014. The Private Placement Notes were modified on December 31, 2013 to extend their maturities to April 30, 2015. Pursuant to the terms of the Private Placement Notes, holders may convert the principal and accrued interest into common stock at any time at a conversion price of $0.40 per share. The Company is in discussions with certain holders of the Private Placement Notes and expects that the holders of the Private Placement Notes would provide their consent to a further extension of the maturity of the Private Placement Notes. However, the Company has not secured any such consents at this time, nor can it provide any assurance that such consents will be obtained on commercially acceptable terms, or at all.

The Company has a Loan Agreement with a balance of $4,933,669 outstanding as of June 30, 2014 (as discussed in Note 5), which expires on April 15, 2015. On April 8, 2014, in connection with an amendment to the Loan Agreement effective April 1, 2014, among other modifications, the bank (i) increased by $1,000,000 the amount of revolving loan availability through May 31, 2014 for the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2014, and (ii) set the fixed asset coverage ratio at 1.2 to 1. The Company is in discussions with its lender regarding a further extension of the Loan Agreement and expects to be able to extend the Loan Agreement; however, the Company has not secured any such commitment at this time, nor can it provide any assurance that such commitment will be obtained on commercially acceptable terms, or at all.

Management believes that the Company’s cash on hand, cash flows expected to be generated from operations, and borrowings available under the Company’s credit facility (after its terms are extended), will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations. If the terms of the Loan Agreement and the Private Placement Notes are not extended, the Company will need to seek alternative sources of funding. If the Company is not successful in either case, this may have an impact on the Company’s financial position.

On March 26, 2013, the Company received a letter from the Air Force seeking reimbursement of approximately $3.69 million related to the FOB Hope Project and a subsequent letter on June 4, 2014 reducing the amount claimed to $2.63 million, including $440,409 in overbillings voluntarily disclosed and agreed upon by the Company (as discussed in Note 7). The Company’s management believes that it will be successful in defending its position with the Air Force. However, if the Company is not successful in defending its position, the outcome may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 14, 2014.

As a result of the December 31, 2012 entry into an agreement to sell its biodiesel production facility and related assets, the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 present the results and accounts of the Biodiesel Production business as discontinued operations. All prior periods presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations discussed herein have been restated to conform to such presentation.

Net Loss per Common Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options (using the treasury stock method) and the conversion of the Company’s convertible preferred stock, convertible notes payable, and warrants (using the if-converted method). The computation of basic loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 excludes potentially dilutive securities. At June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company excluded potentially dilutive securities of 31,500,402 and 29,043,641, respectively, because their inclusion would be antidilutive. As a result, the computations of net loss per share for each period presented is the same for both basic and fully diluted. Weighted average shares outstanding includes warrants to purchase 176,817 shares of common stock at an exercise price per share of $0.01 in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260, “Earnings per Share”, as the shares underlying these warrants can be issued for little consideration.

Potentially dilutive securities outlined in the table below have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash on deposit with financial institutions, and accounts receivable. At times, the Company’s cash in banks is in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company has not experienced any loss as a result of these deposits. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, one customer, who was a government customer, accounted for 45% and 44% respectively, of the Company’s trade receivables. The Company has not experienced losses on the accounts for this customer, and management believes that the Company’s risk resulting from this concentration is limited because this customer represents an agency of the U.S. federal government. The Company does not generally require collateral or other security to support client receivables. The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses, as required.

Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received upon the sale of an asset or payment to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs in measuring fair value as follows:

The assets or liability’s fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table provides a summary of the assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

Fair Value Measurements, continued

The derivative conversion feature liabilities are measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes pricing model and are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The significant assumptions and valuation methods that the Company used to determine fair value and the change in fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments are provided below:

Level 3 liabilities are valued using unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the derivative liabilities. For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s accounting and finance department, which reports to the Chief Financial Officer, determines its valuation policies and procedures. The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s accounting and finance department with support from the Company’s consultants and are approved by the Chief Financial Officer.

Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the derivative liabilities for which there is no current market such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value Level 3 financial liabilities at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. This model incorporates transaction details such as the Company’s stock price, contractual terms, maturity, risk free rates, as well as volatility.

A significant decrease in the volatility or a significant decrease in the Company’s stock price, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. Changes in the values of the derivative liabilities are recorded in change in fair value of derivative liabilities within other expense (income) on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. As the Company’s common stock does not have sufficient trading volume, the Company determines volatility by measuring the volatility of a representative group of its peers. At June 30, 2014, the peer group consisted solely of companies operating in the environmental services sector.

As of June 30, 2014, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy.

The Company presented the conversion feature liabilities at fair value on its consolidated balance sheet, with the corresponding changes in fair value recorded in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the applicable reporting periods. The Company computed the fair value of the derivative liability at the reporting dates of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The fair value of the Company’s common stock was derived from the valuation of the Company using a combination of the discounted cash flows method and comparable companies’ methods that included multiples based upon the last twelve months and forward revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). Management determined that the results of its valuation are reasonable. The term represents the remaining contractual term of the derivative. The volatility rate was developed based on analysis of the historical volatility rates of several other similarly situated companies (using a number of observations that was at least equal to or exceeded the number of observations in the life of the derivative financial instrument at issue). The risk free interest rates were obtained from publicly available US Treasury yield curve rates. The dividend yield is zero because the Company has not paid dividends and does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

Income Taxes

Tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlement. A liability for “unrecognized tax benefits” is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in the Company’s tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported. The guidance also discusses the classification of related interest and penalties on income taxes. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. No interest or penalties were recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Management’s Evaluation of Subsequent Events

Management evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. Based upon the evaluation, management did not identify any recognized or nonrecognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – INVESTMENT IN GAS ASSETS

On September 13, 2013, the Company formed EQGP, LLC (“EQGP”) for the purpose of creating a joint venture with third party investors to develop one of the projects included in the landfill gas assets acquired by the Company in connection with its acquisition of Vertterre Corp. (“Vertterre”), a mechanical and electrical engineering services firm, on December 27, 2012 (the “Landfill Gas Facility”). On October 3, 2013, EQGP was capitalized with investments of $475,000 (representing a 63.3% ownership stake in EQGP) and $275,000 from EQ and certain third parties, respectively. On October 3, 2013, Vertterre sold its wholly-owned subsidiary that owned the Landfill Gas Facility, Grand Prairie Landfill Gas Production, LLC (“GPLGP”), to EQGP and third party investors for no consideration, for the purpose of facilitating the investment by EQGP and its third party partners in developing, constructing and operating a landfill gas to electricity facility in Grand Prairie, Texas. The Company will provide engineering services and equipment to GPLGP. On October 3, 2013, EQGP contributed $750,000 in cash to GPLGP.

As of June 30, 2014, GPLGP had begun construction of the Landfill Gas Facility, with estimated completion projected during the third quarter of 2014.

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company has recorded a loss on the investment in GPLGP of $13,845, and for the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company has recorded a loss on the investment in GPLGP of $26,250, which is included in other income, net. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded a net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests of $5,260 and for the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded a net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests of $9,808, reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.

The components of our investment in the joint venture are summarized below: 

As of June 30, 2014, the investment in the Landfill Gas Facility was $583,777 and was reflected within other assets, and noncontrolling interests of $213,822 was reflected as noncontrolling interests, on the consolidated balance sheet.

The following table is a summary of key financial data for EQGP:

NOTE 4 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On December 31, 2012, in connection with the execution of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of December 31, 2012 (the “Biodiesel Purchase Agreement”), with Delek Renewables, LLC (“Biodiesel Buyer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Delek US Holdings, Inc., pursuant to which the Company sold to Biodiesel Buyer its biodiesel production facility and related assets, constituting substantially all of the assets of the Company’s former Biodiesel Production segment, the assets, liabilities and operating results of the Biodiesel Production segment were reclassified to discontinued operations.

There were no results of discontinued operations during the six months ended June 30, 2014. Results of discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are as follows:

There were no assets and liabilities included in discontinued operations as of June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

NOTE 5 – LOAN AGREEMENT

On September 28, 2012, EQ and EQE entered into a loan agreement (as amended, the “Loan Agreement”) with a bank (the “Bank”) providing for a revolving credit facility and a letter of credit facility. On February 27, 2013, EQ, EQE and Vertterre (together, the “Borrowers”) entered into a First Amendment to Loan Agreement with the Bank to add Vertterre as a borrower under the Loan Agreement. On December 31, 2013, the Borrowers entered into a Second Amendment to Loan Agreement to extend the termination date under the Loan Agreement to April 15, 2015 and obtain a consent by the Bank to the Note Modifications (as described in Note 6 – Convertible Promissory Notes), among other matters. On April 8, 2014, the Borrowers entered into a Third Amendment to Loan Agreement to increase by $1,000,000 the amount of revolving loan availability through May 31, 2014, change the required fixed charge coverage ratio to 1.2 to 1, and increase the annual capital expenditures threshold from $250,000 to $500,000, among other things. The Loan Agreement provides for maximum borrowings under the credit facility of up to $10,000,000, including a letter of credit sub-limit of $2,000,000. Funds drawn under the revolving credit facility bear interest at the one month London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), plus 3.0% (interest rate of 3.15% as of June 30, 2014). The Loan Agreement is secured by the assets of the Borrowers, is guaranteed by the Company and the subsidiaries of Vertterre (supported by a pledge of all issued and outstanding stock of EQ, Vertterre and Vertterre’s subsidiaries) and expires on April 15, 2015.

The Loan Agreement contains a variety of affirmative and negative covenants, including, but not limited to, financial covenants that (i) require the Borrowers to maintain specified fixed charge coverage ratios, and (ii) limit certain capital expenditures by the Borrowers to $500,000 per fiscal year ending on or after December 31, 2014. Fees under the Loan Agreement include (i) a $750 per month collateral monitoring fee, (ii) an unused commitment fee of 0.25% per annum, and (iii) a letter of credit fee of 2.0% per annum.

As of June 30, 2014, the available borrowing base under the Loan Agreement totaled approximately $8,092,000, including $1,500,000 attributable to obligations under outstanding letters of credit. As of June 30, 2014, $4,933,669 was outstanding under the Loan Agreement.

As of and for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014, the Borrowers were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Loan Agreement.

The Company is in discussions with its lender regarding a further extension of the Loan Agreement; however, the Company has not secured any such commitment at this time, nor can it provide any assurance that such commitment will be obtained on commercially acceptable terms, or at all.

NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES

Private Placement Notes

On March 15, 2011 (“March 15 Notes”), May 13, 2011 (“May 13 Notes”), December 30, 2011 (“December 30 Notes”) and March 30, 2012 (“March 2012 Note”), pursuant to the terms of note purchase agreements by and between the Company and each investor (each a “Private Placement Note Purchase Agreement”), the Company completed the sale of $2,500,000, $500,000, $1,858,879, and $188,959 aggregate principal amount of subordinated convertible notes (collectively, the “Private Placement Notes”), respectively, to accredited investors in private placements. The aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid interest under the Private Placement Notes as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $1,555,052 and $1,255,320, respectively.

The March 15 Notes and the May 13 Notes bear interest at a rate of 15% per annum and the December 30 Notes and March 2012 Note bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum, with such rate set to increase to 15% on December 30, 2014 in accordance with the Note Modification discussed below. The Private Placement Notes are due and payable on April 30, 2015, and are unsecured and subordinate to the Company’s obligations to its senior lender. The principal and accrued interest of the Private Placement Notes are convertible, at the option of the holder, into a total of 12,619,595 and 3,873,424 shares, respectively, as of June 30, 2014, and 12,619,595 and 3,137,724 shares, respectively, as of December 31, 2013, at a conversion price of $0.40 per share (subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Private Placement Notes). More specifically, the weighted average down round ratchet provision compensates the holder for certain dilutive events. The Private Placement Notes also provide for customary events of default, the occurrence of which may result in all of the Private Placement Notes then outstanding becoming immediately due and payable.

At any time after the one-year anniversary after the issuance of a March 15 Note or May 13 Note, if and only if the Company’s common stock has traded at an average price per share that is above two times the conversion price for 60 consecutive days, the Company may, in its discretion, convert any March 15 Note or May 13 Note into shares of the Company’s common stock in full satisfaction of such March 15 Note or May 13 Note. Additionally, in connection with the sale of the May 13 Notes, the Company and the holders of the May 13 Notes entered into a registration rights agreement, dated as of May 13, 2011, providing for certain piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the May 13 Notes.

At any time after the one-year anniversary after the issuance of a December 30 Note or the March 2012 Note, the Company may, at its discretion, convert any December 30 Note or the March 2012 Note into shares of its common stock in full satisfaction of such December 30 Note or the March 2012 Note if (i) the common stock is trading on a national securities exchange, (ii) the shares underlying the December 30 Note or March 2012 Note have been registered for resale with the SEC and the resale registration statement is effective, (iii) the average weekly trading volume of the common stock over the preceding three-months is equal to at least 1% of the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock, and (iv) the average closing price or last sale price per share of common stock has been at least two times the then-effective conversion price for any 60 consecutive trading days during the preceding six months.  Pursuant to the purchase agreements entered into in connection with the sale of the December 30 Notes and March 2012 Note, the Company agreed to certain covenants, including but not limited to a covenant that the Company will prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3 or such other available form covering the resale of the shares of its common stock issuable upon the conversion of the December 30 Notes and March 2012 Note and shall cause such registration statement to become effective on or before June 30, 2014.  No such registration statement has been filed with or declared effective by the SEC. Additionally, in connection with the sale of the December 30 Notes and March 2012 Note, the Company and the holders of the December 30 Notes and March 2012 Note entered into a registration rights agreement, dated as of December 30, 2011 and amended on March 30, 2012, providing for certain demand and piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the December 30 Notes and March 2012 Note.

On December 31, 2013, the Company modified all of its Private Placement Notes in aggregate principal amount of $5,047,838, principally in order to (i) extend their maturity dates to April 30, 2015 and (ii) increase the interest rate on their unpaid principal balance to 15% per annum effective upon each of their respective original maturity dates (the “Note Modifications”). The other principle terms of the Private Placement Notes remained the same. The Note Modifications were accounted for as a modification of debt.

In consideration for the Note Modifications, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,932,321 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share (subject to adjustment) to the holders of the Private Placement Notes (the “Private Placement Warrants”). The grant date fair value of the Private Placement Warrants issued of $145,175 was capitalized as debt issuance costs and is being amortized over the remaining term of the Private Placement Notes.

NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES, continued

Private Placement Notes , continued

The Company is in discussions with certain holders of the Private Placement Notes and expects that the holders of the Private Placement Notes would provide their consent to a further extension of the maturity of the Private Placement Notes. However, the Company has not secured any such consents at this time, nor can it provide any assurance that such consents will be obtained on commercially acceptable terms, or at all.

Accounting for Convertible Promissory Notes

Pursuant to the terms of the Private Placement Notes, the applicable conversion prices are subject to adjustment in the event that the Company subsequently issues common stock or other equity or debt securities convertible into common stock at a price less than such conversion price. More specifically, the weighted average down round ratchet provision compensates the holder for certain dilutive events. The Company bifurcated the conversion option derivative from its debt host in accordance with ASC 815. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded an additional derivative liability of $0 and $617, respectively for the accrued interest on the Private Placement Notes, which also was convertible. The Company amortized the respective discounts over the terms of the notes, using the effective interest method. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, $147,920 and $215,303, respectively, of the note and accrued interest discount was amortized and charged to interest expense.

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, after the mark-to-market adjustment, the aggregate fair value of the conversion liability was $0 and $6,067, respectively, representing the fair value of the conversion feature of both the principal and the interest for the Private Placement Notes.

Convertible promissory notes consist of:

Future minimum principal payments of these convertible promissory notes are as follows:

As of June 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the Private Placement Notes.

NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in various claims, legal actions and regulatory proceedings arising from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Other than the matters set forth below, in the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our combined financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Energy Solutions Claim

During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company was notified that Energy Solutions Government Group, Inc. (“Energy Solutions”), which was engaged by the Company and Sullivan International Group, Inc. (“Sullivan”) for subcontract services, was seeking a total of $2,567,472 from the Company and Sullivan, of which the Company’s portion was $1,258,061. The Company believed that the services allegedly performed by Energy Solutions were unapproved and not part of the Company’s agreement with Energy Solutions. The Company and Sullivan have negotiated a final settlement with Energy Solutions under which the Company and Sullivan agreed to pay Energy Solutions a total of $1,657,283. The Company’s portion of this settlement was $697,735, of which $191,614 was paid during the second quarter of 2014 and the remaining amount of $506,121 has been expensed by the Company and included within accounts payable on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2014.

Environmental Restoration Claim

Environmental Restoration (“ER”), which is a subcontractor of EQM, pursuant to a notice received on November 8, 2013, has alleged damages of $3 million on the basis that it was guaranteed more work under its subcontract agreement for ERRS Region 6 than it actually received. The Company believes that this claim is without merit and that it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to pay any amount in connection with this claim. The Company is in regular communications with ER regarding their claim. This matter is still pending as of June 30, 2014.

Investigation Regarding FOB Hope Project

In August 2007, the Company initiated an internal investigation regarding potential billing for unallowable costs in connection with its construction of a forward operating base in Iraq beginning in 2006 (the “FOB Hope Project”). The Company completed the FOB Hope Project in March 2008. The Company submitted its findings to the Office of the Department of Defense Inspector General and the Company was admitted into the Department of Defense Voluntary Disclosure Program, which provides participants with certain protections and rights related to possible contract violations. The Company answered all questions of, and submitted all information requested by, the Federal government concerning this matter. On March 26, 2013, the Company received a letter from the Department of the Air Force informing the Company that the Air Force Civil Engineer Center is seeking reimbursement of approximately $3.69 million, based on approximately $440,409 in overbillings that it disclosed as part of the Voluntary Disclosure Program and an additional approximately $3.25 million in unallowable costs as determined by a verification investigation conducted by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”). On June 4, 2014, the Company received a letter from the Air Force reducing the demand amount to $2.63 million, including the $440,409 in agreed upon overbillings. The Company has challenged this amount with a response in July 2014. Beyond what has already been accrued, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the amount that will ultimately be paid under this claim. As a result, an unfavorable outcome may have a material impact on the Company’s operations. The Company is in regular communications with the DCAA regarding their claim. Based upon those discussions, the Company believes that any settlement reached would include payments over a long-term installment plan. This matter is still pending as of June 30, 2014.

Pursuant to an agreement with the Air Force, the Company began making payments on the disclosed $440,409 in overbillings, with $294,792 paid through June 30, 2014, an additional $109,685 to be paid over the remainder of 2014 and $35,932 to be paid in 2015. The Company has filed a challenge in July 2014 with the Air Force through their attorney on the remaining claim and is awaiting a response from the Air Force. As of June 30, 2014, the Company has included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities, within the consolidated balance sheet, a total of $145,617 for amounts that are due in regard to the FOB Hope Project, which represents the agreed upon overbillings obligation amount of $440,409 less the payments of $294,792 made through June 30, 2014.

Legal Proceedings, continued

FOB Hope Project Claim for Equitable Adjustment

In 2008, the Company filed a request with the U.S. Air Force for an equitable adjustment in connection with the FOB Hope Project (the “Air Force Claim”).  The Company completed the FOB Hope Project in March 2008.  The Air Force Claim is being reviewed, but the Company has not been provided with a specific time line for final resolution of the Air Force Claim and the Company is not able to determine the amount that might be received in connection with the Air Force Claim. The Company does not believe that the results of this matter will have a material effect on its operations.

Memorandum of Understanding with Sullivan International Group, Inc.

On January 21, 2014, the Company entered into a memorandum of understanding (the “Sullivan MOU”) with Sullivan International Group, Inc., or Sullivan, regarding a potential merger. The Sullivan MOU, which is non-binding with respect to the terms of the merger, provided that the Company and Sullivan would negotiate and enter into a merger agreement pursuant to which Sullivan would merge with and into a subsidiary of the Company.  The Company and Sullivan have been negotiating the terms of the transaction and related financing, some of the material terms of which have changed from those set out in the Sullivan MOU, but the parties have not reached a definitive agreement as to the final terms of the transaction and there can be no assurance that the parties will enter into a merger agreement or complete the merger.

The Sullivan MOU contains a binding exclusivity provision in which Sullivan has agreed that for 180 days it will not enter into another agreement with a third party with respect to the acquisition or sale of Sullivan or a material part of its assets, or engage in any related discussions with a third party.  This exclusivity provision is extended automatically for an additional 180 days if the Company enters into a letter of intent or similar agreement with an underwriter or placement agent with respect to the financing. On March 26, 2013, the Company entered into an engagement letter with Roth Capital Partners, LLC to explore financing opportunities, with Monarch Capital Group, LLC acting as a co-manager. As a result, the exclusivity provision of the Sullivan MOU has been extended according to its terms.

Notwithstanding the above, the Sullivan MOU does not preclude the Company from continuing to pursue or close other potential acquisition candidates.
