HELIOS AND MATHESON ANALYTICS INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

1)      GENERAL:
 
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements contained in Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc.’s (“Helios and Matheson” or the “Company”) Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the accompanying financial statements and related notes thereto. The accounting policies used in preparing these financial statements are the same as those described in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. On May 3, 2013, the Company changed its name from Helios and Matheson Information Technology Inc. to Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc.

2)     CONTROLLED COMPANY:
 
The Board of Directors has determined that Helios and Matheson meets the definition of a “Controlled Company” as defined by Rule 5615(c) of the NASDAQ Listing Rules. A “Controlled Company” is defined in Rule 5615(c) as a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, group or another company. Certain NASDAQ requirements do not apply to a “Controlled Company”, including requirements that: (i) a majority of its Board of Directors must be comprised of “independent” directors as defined in NASDAQ’s rules; and (ii) the compensation of officers and the nomination of directors be determined in accordance with specific rules, generally requiring determinations by committees comprised solely of independent directors or in meetings at which only the independent directors are present.


3)      INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:
 
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2013, the consolidated results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted from these financial statements pursuant to SEC’s rules and regulations.  For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Form 10-K filed by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2012.

For the three month period ended March 31, 2013, the Company reported net income of approximately $101,000 and for the three month period ended March 31, 2012, the Company reported net income of approximately $14,000.  The Company continues to focus on revenue growth by expanding its existing client market share and its client base and by providing a Flexible Delivery Model to clients, which allows for dynamically configurable “right shoring” of service delivery based on client needs.  The Company also keeps a tight rein on discretionary expenditures and SG&A to enhance its competitiveness.

In management's opinion, cash flows from operations combined with cash on hand will provide adequate flexibility for funding the Company's working capital obligations for the next twelve months.

4)      STOCK BASED COMPENSATION:
 
The Company has a stock based compensation plan, which is described as follows:

The Company’s Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) provides for the grant of stock options that are either “incentive” or “non-qualified” for federal income tax purposes.  The Plan provides for the issuance of a maximum of 184,000 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment pursuant to customary anti-dilution provisions).  Stock options vest over a period of between one to four years.

The exercise price per share of a stock option is established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors in its discretion but may not be less than the fair market value of a share of common stock as of the date of grant.  The aggregate fair market value of the shares of common stock with respect to which “incentive” stock options first become exercisable by an individual to whom an “incentive” stock option is granted during any calendar year may not exceed $100,000.
 
 
6

 

Stock options, subject to certain restrictions, may be exercisable any time after full vesting for a period not to exceed ten years from the date of grant.  Such period is established by the Company in its discretion on the date of grant.  Stock options terminate in connection with the termination of employment.

Information with respect to options granted under the Company’s Plan is as follows:

6)      CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK:

The revenues of the Company’s top three customers represented approximately 86.6% of the revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 2013.  The revenue of the Company’s top three customers represented approximately 83% of revenues for the same period in 2012.  No other customer represented greater than 10% of the Company’s revenues for such periods.  The Company continues its effort to broaden its customer base in order to mitigate this risk.

 
7)      CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS:

(1) The Company has a New York facility with a lease term expiring March 31, 2017.
 

As of March 31, 2013, the Company does not have any “Off Balance Sheet Arrangements”.

 
8)    PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
 
The provision for income taxes as reflected in the consolidated statement of Income and Comprehensive Income varies from the expected statutory rate primarily due to a provision for minimum state taxes and the recording of adjustments to the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.  Internal Revenue Code Section 382 (the “Code”) places a limitation on the utilization of Federal net operating loss and other credit carry-forwards when an ownership change, as defined by the tax law, occurs.  Generally, this occurs when a greater than 50 percent change in ownership occurs.  During 2006, Helios and Matheson Information Technology Ltd (“Helios and Matheson Parent”) acquired a greater than 50 percent ownership of the Company.  Accordingly, the actual utilization of the net operating loss carry-forwards for tax purposes are limited annually under the Code to a percentage (currently about four and a half percent) of the fair market value of the Company at the date of this ownership change.  The Company maintains a valuation allowance against additional deferred tax assets arising from net operating loss carry-forwards since, in the opinion of management; it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

9)    TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS
 
In September 2010, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Helios and Matheson Parent (the “HMIT MOU”) pursuant to which Helios and Matheson Parent has agreed to make available to the Company facilities of dedicated Off-shore Development Centers (“ODCs”).  In connection with the ODCs, Helios and Matheson Parent also renders services by way of support in technology and client engagement, and by providing management and operational services at the ODCs. Helios and Matheson Parent has been providing recruitment services to Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc. and has not charged a fee for these services.  Helios and Matheson Parent also invests in deepening client relationships by providing knowledge transition free of cost to clients and volume/ business commitment-based discounts.  The investment made by Helios and Matheson Parent in this regard in Q1 2013 is $32,448.  The amount payable to Helios and Matheson Parent for services rendered under the HMIT MOU was $91,469 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and is included as a component of cost of revenue. All payments to Helios and Matheson Parent under the MOU are made after collections are received from clients. The amount paid to Helios and Matheson Parent for services rendered under the HMIT MOU was $63,648 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

10)       LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On April 5, 2011, the Company filed a Complaint in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Union County against Toranco-Clark Associates LLC, its landlord of the former New Jersey office, for breach of its lease agreement in the amount of $22,000.  On June 17, 2011, Toranco-Clark Associates LLC filed a Counterclaim against the Company in the amount of $24,000 for alleged breach of the lease agreement. The ultimate outcome of this matter is uncertain at this time.

During 2011, Rosen and Associates, P.C. has asked for a payment of $23,680 for services it allegedly performed for the Company. No action has been filed by Rosen and Associates, P.C.

11) DIVIDEND PAID

On February 3, 2013 the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.09 per share on the Company's common stock, amounting to a total payout of $209,739. This amount represents approximately 50% of the net profits of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2012. The dividend was paid on March 5, 2013 to shareholders of record on February 18, 2013. However, there can be no assurance that we will pay dividends in the future.

12)    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
           Management completed an analysis of all subsequent events occurring after March 31, 2013, the balance sheet date, through May 6, 2013, the date upon which the quarter-end consolidated financial statements were issued, and determined there were no disclosures necessary which have not been already disclosed elsewhere in these financial statements.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of significant factors affecting the Company's operating results, liquidity and capital resources should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and related notes.

Statements included in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and elsewhere in this document that do not relate to present or historical conditions are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of that term under Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and under Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Additional oral or written forward-looking statements may be made by the Company from time to time, and such statements may be included in documents that are filed with the SEC.  Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements. Words such as “believes,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “possible,” “expects,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” or “plans” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  The Company cautions readers that results predicted by forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, those relating to the Company’s future business prospects, revenues, working capital, liquidity, capital needs, interest costs, and income are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements.  The important factors on which such statements are based, include but are not limited to, assumptions concerning the magnitude of the ongoing economic crisis, including its impact on the Company’s customers, demand trends in the information technology industry and the continuing needs of current and prospective customers for the Company’s services.

Overview
 
Since 1983, Helios and Matheson has provided high quality IT services and solutions to Fortune 1000 companies and other large organizations.  The Company is headquartered in New York City and has a second office in Bangalore, India.
 
The Company’s services include Application Value Management, Application Development, Integration, Independent Validation, Infrastructure and Information Management services. The Company believes that a philosophy of intense focus on client satisfaction, business aware solutions and guaranteed delivery provides tangible business value to its client base across banking, financial services, insurance, pharmaceutical and manufacturing/automotive verticals.

The Company is dedicated to providing a Flexible Delivery Model to its clients, which allows for dynamically configurable “right shoring” of service delivery based on client needs.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, approximately 90% of the Company's consulting services revenues were generated from clients under time and materials engagements, as compared to approximately 88% for the three months ended March 31, 2012, with the remainder generated under fixed-price engagements and recruitment process outsourcing (RPO).  The Company has established standard-billing guidelines for consulting services based on the types of services offered.  Actual billing rates are established on a project-by-project basis and may vary from the standard guidelines. The Company typically bills its clients for time and materials services on a weekly and monthly basis.  Arrangements for fixed-price engagements are made on a case-by-case basis. Consulting services revenues generated under time and materials engagements are recognized as those services are provided.  Revenues from fixed fee contracts are recorded when work is performed on the basis of the proportionate performance method, which is based on costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs.

The Company's most significant operating cost is its personnel cost, which is included in cost of revenues.  For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, gross margin was 21.1% and 23.9% respectively.

The Company actively manages its personnel utilization rates by monitoring project requirements and timetables.  The Company’s utilization rate for the three months ending March 31, 2013 was approximately 99% as compared to 89% for the three months ending March 31, 2012.  As projects are completed, consultants either are re-deployed to new projects at the current client site or to new projects at another client site or are encouraged to participate in the Company’s training programs in order to expand their technical skill sets.

Helios and Matheson, a premier global information technology firm is excited to introduce its predictive analytics practice - Helios and Matheson Analytics. Rooted in our heritage of exceptional client relationships we now leverage our technological prowess to garner analytic insights from data and make intelligent predictions to drive valuable decisions for our clients.  Our integrated service of Big Data technology, advanced analytics, extensive domain expertise in financial service and healthcare and engaging data visualization empowers our clients unlock the value of data to make better decisions.

Keeping in view the sustained profitable performance over seven continuous quarters, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.09 per share amounting to a payout of $209,739. This amount represents approximately 50% of the net Income of the Company for the year 2012.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
The methods, estimates and judgments the Company uses in applying its most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results the Company reports in its consolidated financial statements.  The Company evaluates its estimates and judgments on an on-going basis.  Estimates are based on historical experience and on assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.  The Company’s experience and assumptions form the basis for its judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may vary from what is anticipated and different assumptions or estimates about the future could change reported results.  The Company believes the following accounting policies are the most critical to it, in that they are important to the portrayal of its financial statements and they require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Consulting revenues are recognized as services are provided.  The Company primarily provides consulting services under time and material contracts, whereby revenue is recognized as hours and costs are incurred.  Customers for consulting revenues are billed on a weekly, semi-monthly or monthly basis.  Revenues from fixed fee contracts are recorded when work is performed on the basis of the proportionate performance method, which is based on costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs.  Any anticipated contract losses are estimated and accrued at the time they become known and estimable.  Revenues from RPO services are recorded when service is performed. Unbilled accounts receivables represent amounts recognized as revenue based on services performed in advance of customer billings.  Revenue from sales of software licenses is recognized upon delivery of the software to a customer because future obligations associated with such revenue are insignificant.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
The Company monitors its accounts receivable balances on a monthly basis to ensure that they are collectible.  On a quarterly basis, the Company uses its historical experience to accurately determine its accounts receivable reserve.  The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts is an estimate based on specifically identified accounts as well as general reserves.  The Company evaluates specific accounts where it has information that the customer may have an inability to meet its financial obligations.  In these cases, management uses its judgment, based on the best available facts and circumstances, and records a specific reserve for that customer, against amounts due, to reduce the receivable to the amount that is expected to be collected.  These specific reserves are re-evaluated and adjusted as additional information is received that impacts the amount reserved.  The Company also establishes a general reserve for all customers based on a range of percentages applied to aging categories.  These percentages are based on historical collection and write-off experience.  If circumstances change, the Company’s estimate of the recoverability of amounts due the Company could be reduced or increased by a material amount.  Such a change in estimated recoverability would be accounted for in the period in which the facts that give rise to the change become known.
 
Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets
 
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of the Company, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The Company assesses the recoverability of deferred tax assets at least annually based upon the Company’s ability to generate sufficient future taxable income and the availability of effective tax planning strategies.
 
Stock Based Compensation
 
The Company uses the modified prospective application method as specified by the FASB whereby compensation cost is recognized over the remaining service period based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as calculated for pro forma disclosures as originally issued.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012
 
Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were $3.20 million compared to $2.68 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in consulting and RPO revenue.
 
Gross Profit. The resulting gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $674,000 as compared to $640,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  As a percentage of total revenues, gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was 21.1% compared to 23.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The reduction to gross margin is due to a change in the revenue mix.
 
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses are comprised of selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses and depreciation and amortization.  Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were $571,000 as compared to the 2012 period of $539,000. The increase is primarily due to the hiring of additional personnel.

Taxes.   Tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $3,000 compared to $6,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
 
Net Income.  As a result of the above, the Company had net income of $101,000 or $0.04 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to a net income of $14,000 or $0.01 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
The Company believes that its business, operating results and financial condition continue to be impacted by the ongoing economic uncertainty. A significant portion of the Company’s major customers are in the financial services industry and came under considerable pressure as a result of the unprecedented economic conditions in the financial markets.  Spending on IT consulting services is largely discretionary, and the Company has experienced a pushback of new assignments and high margin projects from existing clients. Although revenues have improved quarter over quarter, the Company has reported relatively consistent income from operations.  The Company had income from operations of approximately $103,000 and net income of approximately $101,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company had income from operations of approximately $102,000 and net income of approximately $14,000. Net Income of the three months ended March 31, 2012 had non recurring expenses of about $83,000.
 
The Company's cash balances were approximately $2.04 million at March 31, 2013 and $2.9 million at December 31, 2012.  Net cash used by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was approximately $605,000 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $24,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
 
The Company's accounts receivable, less allowance for doubtful accounts, at March 31, 2013 and at December 31, 2012 were approximately $1.9 million and $1.3 million, respectively, representing 52 days and 34 days of sales outstanding (“DSO”) respectively. The increase in DSO was temporary and the overdue amounts have already been collected. The Company has provided an allowance for doubtful accounts at the end of each of the periods presented.  After giving effect to this allowance, the Company does not anticipate any difficulty in collecting amounts due.
 
For the three month period ended March 31, 2013 cash used by investing activities was ($2,500) as compared to ($76,000) of cash used by investing activities for the three months March 31, 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, cash used in investing activities consisted of the amount paid as a security deposit for the new executive office in the Empire State Building.
 
For the three month period ended March 31, 2013, cash used by financing activities was ($210,000) as compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  On February 3, 2013 the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.09 per share on the Company's common stock, amounting to a payout of $209,739. Cash used in financing activities in 2013 consisted of the dividend paid to shareholders.
 
In management's opinion, cash flows from operations combined with cash on hand will provide adequate flexibility for funding the Company's working capital obligations for the next twelve months.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no shares of common stock issued pursuant to the exercise of options granted under the Company’s stock option plan.

As of March 31, 2013, the Company does not have any Off Balance Sheet Arrangements.
