Note 2 - Organization

Description of Business

ICTS International N.V. (“ICTS” or “the Company”) was established by the Department of Justice in Amstelveen, Netherlands on October 9, 1992. ICTS and subsidiaries (collectively referred to as, the “Company”) operate in three reportable segments: (a) corporate (b) airport security and other aviation services and (c) technology. The corporate segment does not generate revenue and contains primarily non-operational expenses. The airport security and other aviation services segment provide security and other services to airlines and airport authorities, predominantly in Europe and the United States of America. The technology segment is predominantly involved in the development and sale of identity security software predominantly in Europe and Israel.

Financial Condition

 

The Company has a working capital deficit and a history of recurring losses from continuing operations and negative cash flows from continuing operations. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company has a working capital deficit of $8,985 and $10,307, respectively. During the periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company incurred losses from continuing operations of $3,871 and $3,291, respectively. Collectively, these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Management believes that the Company’s operating cash flows and related party/third party financing activities will provide it with sufficient funds to meet its obligations and execute its business plan for the next twelve months. However, there are no assurances that management’s plans to generate sufficient cash flows from operations and obtain additional financing from related parties/third parties will be successful. In November 2013, the Company increased its borrowing capacity under the convertible notes payable to related party to $32,000.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Note 3 - Certain transactions

IRS Settlement

The Company was subject to a tax examination for one of its subsidiaries in the United States by the Internal Revenue Service ‘IRS’ for the tax years 2002 to 2004. In connection with this examination, the subsidiary was required to provide information regarding its treatment of certain expenses. The IRS proposed a number of adjustments to the subsidiary’s filed income tax returns for the tax years 2002 to 2004, which collectively resulted in an assessed income tax liability of $7,325. Management vigorously contested the merit of the proposed adjustments and established a reserve of $10,690. In July 2011 and January 2012, the Company entered into arrangements with the IRS to settle all outstanding claims against it for $3,329, including $877 in interest. In August 2012, the Company filed an Offer in Compromise Form with the IRS to reduce the amount payable to the IRS under the settlements citing unfavorable financial condition of its American subsidiaries. The offer of $200 was accepted by the IRS at July 2013.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, is $160 and $3,458 as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. In the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, $90 and $1,937 are shown as current liabilities from discontinued operations and $70 and $1,521, are shown as income taxes payable, respectively.

Acquisition of Company in Germany

During the second quarter of 2013 the Company purchased a Germany Company, which operates in the field of professional aviation security services and specializes in passenger and freight control at Frankfurt Airport. The Company expects that the annual revenues from this acquisition will be Euro 14 million (approximately $ 18.4 million as of June 30, 2013).

The accompanying consolidated statements of operations include the operations of the new subsidiary starting from May 1, 2013.

Note 4 - Discontinued operations

In December 2005, the Company committed to a plan to cease the operations of its entertainment segment in the United States. Accordingly, as of that date, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the entertainment segment were classified as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2011, the operations of the entertainment segment were liquidated.

In connection with the Company’s settlement of certain assessments with the IRS, the Company recognized $1,847 and $(31) of changes in uncertain income tax positions in the periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 respectively including interest and penalties, related to its entertainment segment in income from discontinued operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company committed to a plan to cease the operations of its subsidiary in France (I-SEC France) and in November 2012 transferred control of the subsidiary to a court-appointed liquidator. The subsidiary provided aviation security services in France.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company ceased the operations of its subsidiaries in Romania (I-SEC Romania) and Hungary (I-SEC Hungary), which provided aviation security services in the respective countries. The subsidiaries are in the process of liquidation.

During the period ended June 30, 2013 the Company committed to a plan to cease the operations at its subsidiary in the United Kingdom (I-SEC UK) which provided aviation security services in the United Kingdom.

Certain amounts, related primarily to discontinued operations in the prior year balance sheet, statements of operations and comprehensive loss have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Revenue – Revenue for the period ended June 30, 2013 was $57,277 compared to $47,143 in the first six months of 2012. Revenues from the European Aviation Security operations increased by $7,887 mainly because of the new operations in Germany and increase of services provided to customers in existing locations. European results are affected by the translation of the Euro to the Dollar. The average exchange rate increased by 1.25% increasing revenues translated to Dollars by approximately $356.

 

Revenues from other aviation services provided in the United States (‘U.S.’) increased by $2,181 following increase of services provided to existing and new customers.

There was no material change in revenues from the Technology segment.

Cost of revenue - Cost of revenue for the period ended June 30, 2013 was $50,615 (88.4% as percentage of revenue) compared to $41,595 (88.2% as percentage of revenue) for the first six months of 2012. Cost of revenue as percentage of revenue is stable during the comparable periods.

Research and Development (“R&D”) - R&D expenses for the period ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $820 (1.4% as percentage of revenue) compared to $752 (1.6% as percentage of revenue) for the first six months of 2012. R&D expenses are stable during the comparable periods.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) - SG&A expenses were $9,671 for the period ended June 30, 2013 (16.9% as percentage of revenue) compared to $7,261 (15.4% as percentage of revenue) for the first six months of 2012. SG&A expenses include a one time expense of $1,312 relating to costs involved on the purchase of the German Company in the second quarter of 2013. Without this expense the total SG&A expenses would be $8,359 (14.6% as percentage of revenue).

Interest expenses to related party totaled $919 in the first six months of 2013 compared to $729 in the comparable period of 2011.

As substantial part of the loan was taken in Euro, the interest expense is being affected also by the changes in the exchange rate between U.S Dollar and Euro.

 

Exchange rate income during the first six months of 2013 totaled $142 compared to exchange rate expenses of $389 at the 2012 comparable period. The main currency which is being revaluated in the Company is the Euro. U.S Dollar and Euro average exchange rate increased by 1.25% in 2013, compared to the first six months of 2012.

 

Other interest expenses and bank charges totaled $306 in the first six months of 2012 compared to $402 in the comparable period of 2012. Interest expenses and bank charges decreased due to the fact that no interest was accrued regarding the IRS following the settlement with the IRS.

Loss from continuing operations - As a result of the above, ICTS’ loss from continued operations amounted $3,871 for the first six months of 2013, compared to $3,291 loss for the first six months of 2012.

 

Profit (loss) from discontinued operations – The Company had a profit of $1,990 from discontinued operations for the period ended June 30, 2013.
