HII TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Basis of presentation


The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of HII Technologies, Inc. (“we”, “our”, “HII” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements,, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 contained in HII Technologies’ annual report on Form 10-K originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2014.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  Notes to the consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 as reported in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K have been omitted.


Principles of consolidation


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


Restricted cash


As of September 30, 2014, the Company had restricted cash of $1,837,934 which was held in deposit accounts as collateral under the senior secured term loan and accounts receivable purchase agreements (see Note 5).


Beneficial conversion feature


In accordance with FASB ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, the Company records a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) related to the issuance of convertible instruments that have conversion features at fixed rates that are in the-money when issued. The BCF for the convertible instruments is recognized and measured by allocating the proceeds to the convertible instruments and any other detachable instruments included in the exchange based on their relative fair values.


Capital Leases


Capital leases are recorded as an asset and an obligation at an amount equal to the lower of the net present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the leased asset at the inception of the lease. Amortization expense on assets under capital lease is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.


Income Taxes


Income tax expense is based on reported earnings before income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between assets and liabilities recognized for consolidated financial reporting purposes and such amounts recognized for tax purposes, and are measured by applying enacted tax rates in effect in years in which the differences are expected to reverse.


The Company also follows the guidance related to accounting for income tax uncertainties. In accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the



7



largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.


The Company has evaluated the deferred income taxes with regards to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and has determined no limitations on the use of net operating loss carryforwards exist at September 30, 2014.


Reclassifications


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


Recently Adopted Accounting Standards


No new accounting pronouncement issued or effective has had, or is expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


NOTE 2 – ACQUISITION


On August 12, 2014, we consummated the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of Hamilton Investment Group, Inc.  (“Hamilton”) pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated August 11, 2014 by and among the Company, Hamilton and the stockholders of Hamilton (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”). The purchase price consisted of: (a) Cash in the amount of $9,000,000; and (b) 3,523,554 shares (the “Shares”) of the registrant’s common stock (determined based on the trailing 20-day average of our common stock) with a fair value of $2,219,839.   In addition, there exists a working capital adjustment provision whereby we would be required pay the Hamilton stockholders additional cash equal to the amount of any working capital of Hamilton in excess of $2,200,000 (“Working Capital Target”) at closing; provided, however, that in the event that Hamilton’s working capital is less than the Working Capital Target at closing, then the amount of such deficit will be offset against the Shares issued to the former Hamilton stockholders at closing. The purchase agreement contains 2-year non-compete/non-solicitation provisions for the former Hamilton stockholders. The Company relied on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 506 and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the offer and sale of the Shares.   


The acquisition of Hamilton has been accounted for as a business combination whereby the purchase price was allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the acquisition date.   Related acquisition costs amounting to approximately $141,370 were expensed outright and are shown under operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Heartland Bank Credit Facility


On August 12, 2014, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Borrower”) entered a senior secured credit facility (the “Facility”) with Heartland Bank as Agent consisting of (i) a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Heartland Bank for a 3-year $12 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) and (ii) an account purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Heartland Bank, as agent for the purchase and sale of



11



approved receivables of Borrower in amounts not to exceed $6 million. The proceeds of borrowings under the Facility may be used for the payment of a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of Hamilton Investment Group; the refinance of outstanding debt under Borrower’s prior accounts receivable facility; working capital needs of the Company and its subsidiaries; funding of the debt service reserve account and payment of all costs and expenses arising in connection with the negotiation of the Credit Agreement and related documents. On the closing date, the Borrower received proceeds of $12 million under the Credit Agreement and approximately $4.65 million under the Purchase Agreement.   


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


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


The Company evaluated the Purchase Agreement under ASC 860 and determined that related transactions should be  accounted for as secured borrowings, the receivables sold under the Purchase Agreement remain as assets of the Company, the service charge under the agreement is included in interest expense, and the reserve established is presented as restricted cash on the Company’s balance sheet.


Both the Credit Agreement and the Purchase Agreement require the Borrower to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.2:1.0, a first lien leverage ratio of ranging from 3.0:1.0 during 2014  to 2.75:1.0 -2.25:1.0 during 2015 to 2.0:1.0 beginning in 2016, a EBITDA to Interest Expense ratio ranging from 2.75:1.0 during 2014, 3.75:1.0 during 2015 to 4.75:1.0 beginning in 2016 and a tangible net worth of not less than $1 million for each quarter beginning December 31, 2014.  The Borrower is also required to maintain a debt service reserve account sufficient to pay all debt and interest expense due in the next fiscal quarter. The restrictive covenants include customary restrictions on the Company's ability to incur additional debt; make investments; grant or incur liens on assets; sell assets; engage in mergers, consolidations, liquidations or dissolutions; engage in transactions with affiliates; and make dividend payments (although the Borrower is allowed to make dividend payments so long as no event of default will result from such payment or in shares of the Company’s stock). In addition, the Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default.


The Facility is secured by all of the Borrower’s assets as well as a pledge of the Company’s equity in each of its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  The Company paid a cash closing fee of $450,000 to the Lenders and also issued a 4-year warrant to purchase 2.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price $1.00 per share in connection with the Term Loan. The related fair value of the warrants amounting to $1,293,680 was recorded as a debt discount and is amortized over the term of the note. The Company relied on the exemption provided by Rule 506 and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.


Effective September 15, 2014, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into a First Modification Agreement (the “APA Amendment”) with Heartland Bank, administrative agent, (“Agent”)  wherein the following amendments were made:  (i) increase the Facility Limit under the Account Purchase Agreement to $6,600,000 (from $6,000,000); (ii) change the Borrowers’ address and (iii) extend the deadline for Borrower’s delivery of landlord’s consents and waivers to 60-days of the date of the Account Purchase Agreement.


Effective September 15, 2014, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into a First Modification Agreement (the “Term Loan Amendment”) with Agent, wherein amendments were made to (i) change the Borrowers’ address and (ii) extend the deadline for Borrower’s delivery of landlord’s consents and waivers to 60-days of the date of the Account Purchase Agreement.


The Company incurred a total of $1,346,221 in various financing fees which are amortized over the life of the credit facility.

NOTE 6 – LINE OF CREDIT


On June 26, 2013, our wholly-owned subsidiaries, KMHVC, Inc. and AES (the “Borrower”) entered into a $2 million revolving accounts receivable financing facility with Rosenthal & Rosenthal (“Rosenthal”). The financing facility provides for the Borrower to have access to the lesser of (i) $2 million or (ii) 85% of Net Amount of Eligible Receivables (as defined in the financing agreement). The financing facility is paid for by the assignment of the Borrower’s accounts receivable to Rosenthal and is secured by the Borrower’s assets. The financing facility has an interest rate of 4.00% in excess of the prime rate reported by the Wall Street Journal per annum. The interest rate increases to the prime rate plus 7.00% for any borrowings in excess of 85% of the Borrower’s Net Amount of Eligible Receivables.

NOTE 11 – INCOME TAXES


During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recognized a tax benefit of $5,639,233 related to the reversal of a portion of the full valuation allowance recorded on the deferred tax asset resulting from cumulative net operating loss carryforwards as a result of the acquisition of Hamilton on August 12, 2014.

Accordingly, the valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset was reduced during the period ended September 31, 2014, and a tax benefit recognized.


The Company has evaluated the deferred income taxes with regards to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and has determined no limitations on the use of net operating loss carryforwards exist at September 30, 2014.


The Company reported no uncertain tax liability as of September 30, 2014 and expects no significant change to the uncertain tax liability over the next twelve months.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013


Revenues. Our revenues increased by $6,097,790, or approximately 155% to $10,029,506 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $3,931,716 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  This increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Hamilton on August 12, 2014 and continued growth within our water division from AES Water Solutions and AquaTex (acquired in November 2013) frac water management services.  Additionally, increased revenues came from continued organic growth of AES Safety Services including its new spill remediation service line and the organic growth of STP’s generator rental fleet business in mobile oilfield power, as compared to the prior period. All three divisions of Water, Safety and Power benefitted from the continued activity levels of horizontal drilling and its related hydraulic fracing in the domestic U.S.  


Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues increased by $4,313,625 or approximately 154%, to $7,108,454 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, or 71% of revenues, compared to cost of revenues of $2,794,829, or 71% of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The cost of revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2014 were primarily the result of contract labor of $2,174,171, equipment and truck rental of $1,402,433, frac water pipe and pump rental of $754,583, and related fuel costs of $1,130,399.  The cost of revenues as a percentage of sales was the result of the additional revenues of AquaTex, subsidiary which was acquired in November 2013, Hamilton, subsidiary which was acquired on August 12, 2014, lower equipment rental costs, as well as higher revenues covering more fixed costs within cost of revenues particularly in the newer Safety and Power divisions, as compared to the prior period. The Company currently anticipates a lower cost of sales as a percentage of sales in the next fiscal year from continued increases in revenues covering a higher percentage of fixed costs, decreasing rental expense through the procurement of additional fixed assets, and the anticipated future impact of revenues resulting from the anticipated commencement of new technology related services and their higher margins. The cost of revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2013 were primarily the result of contract labor of $1,191,075, equipment and truck rental of $1,022,544 and fuel for water transfer pumps and equipment of $422,341.


Selling, general, and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1,435,469, or approximately 121%, to $2,565,053, or approximately 27% of revenues, for the three months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to $1,129,584 or approximately 29% of revenues for the comparable period in 2013.  The decrease as a percentage of sales was the result of the additional revenues of AquaTex, subsidiary which was acquired in November 2013, Hamilton, subsidiary which was acquired on August 12, 2014, covering more fixed costs within selling, general, and administrative particularly in the newer Safety and Power divisions, as compared to the prior period.  The Company currently anticipates lower selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales in the next fiscal year from continued increases in revenues covering a higher percentage of fixed costs, reduced testing and development costs related to water recycling technologies, and decreasing growth in expenses for personnel.


Interest expense. Interest expense increased by $939,152, or approximately 965% to $1,036,479 in the three months ended September 30, 2014, from $97,327 for the comparable period in 2013.  The increase was attributable to the interest accrued on the accounts receivable financing facility, the senior term loan credit facility and amortization of related deferred finance costs and non-cash debt discount, interest expense associated with promissory notes we issued in our September 2012 and October 2013 financings, as well as accrued interest on the Seller notes issued in connection with our acquisition of AES Water Solutions in September 2012 and AquaTex in November 2013.


Net income. Our net income increased by $5,024,981, or approximately 2,868% to $4,849,770 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from a net loss of $175,211 for the comparable period in 2013. The net income for the three months ended September 30, 2014 included the tax benefit related to the reduction of the valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset of $5,639,233, the amortization of non-cash debt discount costs of $56,801 and the amortization of deferred financing costs of $85,278.  In addition the Company incurred $32,140 in expenses from the testing and development costs related to water recycling technologies. In the prior year, the loss during the three months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily attributable to the acquisition expenses related to the purchase of AES Water Solutions and the disposal of obsolete assets.

Revenues. Our revenues increased by $14,519,025, or approximately 149% to $24,286,951 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $9,767,926 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  This increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Hamilton on August 12, 2014 and continued growth within our water division from AES Water Solutions and AquaTex (acquired in November 2013) frac water management services.  Additionally, increased revenues came from the continued organic growth of AES Safety Services, including its new spill remediation service line, and the organic growth of STP’s generator rental fleet business in mobile oilfield



20



power. All three divisions of Water, Safety and Power benefitted from the continued activity levels of horizontal drilling and its related hydraulic fracing in the domestic U.S.  


Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues increased by $10,178,036 or approximately 141%, to $17,411,655 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, or 72% of revenues, compared to cost of revenues of $7,233,619, or 74% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The cost of revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were primarily the result of contract labor of $6,108,639, direct costs associated with the spill remediation line of $1,523,660, frac water pipe and pump rental of $2,163,167, equipment and truck rental of $2,893,228 and related fuel costs of $2,284,370.  The decrease in cost of revenues as a percentage of sales was the result of the additional revenues of AquaTex, subsidiary which was acquired in November 2013, Hamilton, subsidiary which was acquired in August 2014, lower equipment rental costs, as well as higher revenues covering more fixed costs within cost of revenues particularly in the newer Safety and Power divisions.  The Company currently anticipates a lower cost of sales as a percentage of sales in the next fiscal year from continued increases in revenues covering a higher percentage of fixed costs, decreasing rental expense through the procurement of additional fixed assets, and the anticipated future impact of revenues resulting from the anticipated commencement of new technology related services and their higher margins. The cost of revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were primarily the result of contract labor of $3,695,132, equipment and truck rental of $2,186,666 and related fuel costs of $936,066.


Selling, general, and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $4,186,629, or approximately 161%, to $6,780,411, or approximately 29% of revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to $2,593,782 or approximately 27% of revenues for the comparable period in 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to newly added employee compensation expense, consulting fees, the cost of public reporting and holding company expenses, as well as the testing and development costs related to water recycling technologies during 2014. The Company currently anticipates lower selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales in the next fiscal year from continued increases in revenues covering a higher percentage of fixed costs, reduced testing and development costs related to water recycling technologies, and decreasing growth in expenses for personnel.


Interest expense. Interest expense increased by $1,032,423, or approximately 323% to $1,352,324 in the nine months ended September 30, 2014, from $319,901 for the comparable period in 2013.  The increase was attributable to the interest accrued on the accounts receivable financing facility, the senior term loan credit facility and amortization of related deferred finance costs and non-cash debt discount, interest expense associated with promissory notes we issued in our September 2012 and October 2013 financings, as well as accrued interest on the Seller notes issued in connection with our acquisition of AES Water Solutions in September 2012 and AquaTex in November 2013.


Net income. Our net income increased by $4,847,492, or approximately 731% to $4,184,365 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from a  net loss of $663,127 for the comparable period in 2013. The net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 included the tax benefit related to the reduction of the valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset of $5,639,233, non-cash charges in connection with the issuance of share-based awards of $133,000, the amortization of non-cash debt discount costs of $56,801 and the amortization of deferred financing costs of $217,702. In addition, the Company incurred $155,829 in expenses from the testing and development costs related to water recycling technologies. In the prior year, the loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily attributable to the acquisition expenses related to the purchase of AES Water Solutions and the disposal of obsolete assets.

Accounts Receivable Financing Facility


On June 26, 2013, our wholly-owned subsidiaries, KMHVC, Inc. and Apache Energy Services, LLC (the “Borrower”) entered into a $2 million revolving accounts receivable financing facility with Rosenthal & Rosenthal. The financing facility provides for the Borrower to have access to the lesser of (i) $2 million or (ii) 85% of Net Amount of Eligible Receivables (as defined in the financing agreement). The financing facility is paid for by the assignment of the Borrower’s accounts receivable to Rosenthal and is secured by the Borrower’s assets. The financing facility has an interest rate of 4.00% in excess of the prime rate reported by the Wall Street Journal per annum.  In addition, the Borrower paid Rosenthal a facility fee of $30,000 on the closing and an annual fee of $20,000 and a monthly administration fee of $1,000 as well as monthly additional charges of not less than $2,000. The financing facility is for an initial term of two-years and will renew on a year to year basis, unless terminated in accordance with the financing agreement.  If the facility is terminated prior to the first anniversary, Borrower is obligated to pay Rosenthal a fee equal to 2% of the maximum facility amount and if terminated after the first anniversary and prior to the second anniversary then Borrower shall pay a fee equal to 1% of the maximum facility amount. We guaranteed repayment of the line of credit, which guaranty is secured by our assets.  On November 20, 2013, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Aqua Handling of Texas, LLC (dba AquaTex) entered into an Assumption Agreement Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc. under which AquaTex became an additional borrower under the financing facility with Rosenthal.  In connection with AquaTex becoming an additional borrower under the facility, the Lender increased the maximum amount available under the facility to $3 million.  In January 2014, the Lender increased the maximum amount available under the facility to $4 million.  In April 2014, the Lender increased the maximum amount available under the facility to $5 million.   The Company is required to maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter a tangible net worth of not less than negative $1 million and working capital of not less than $4.5 million.   On August 12, 2014, in connection with the consummation of the Heartland Bank Credit Facility, we terminated this financing facility and paid approximately $4.75 million in repayment of all amounts due thereunder with proceeds received under the Heartland Bank Credit Facility.


Heartland Bank Credit Facility


On August 12, 2014, HII Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Borrower”) entered a senior secured credit facility (the “Facility”) with Heartland Bank as Agent consisting of (i) a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Heartland Bank for a 3-year $12 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) and (ii) an account purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Heartland Bank, as agent for the purchase and sale of approved receivables of Borrower in amounts not to exceed $6 million, which amount was increased to $6.6 million pursuant to a first modification agreement executed on September 15, 2014. The proceeds of borrowings under the Facility may be used for the payment of a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of Hamilton Investment Group (“Hamilton”); the refinance of outstanding debt under Borrower’s prior accounts receivable facility; working capital needs of the Company and its subsidiaries; funding of the debt service



22



reserve account and payment of all costs and expenses arising in connection with the negotiation of the Credit Agreement and related documents. On the closing date, the Borrower received proceeds of $12 million under the Credit Agreement and approximately $4.65 million under the Purchase Agreement.  The Company utilized $9 million to pay a portion of the purchase price for the Hamilton acquisition, approximately $4.75 million to payoff the Borrower’s prior accounts receivable facility, $450,000 in commitment fees, $675,000 to fund Borrower’s debt service reserve account and approximately $190,000 in other expenses related to the Facility.  Borrower retained approximately $1.585 million for working capital. 


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


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


Both the Credit Agreement and the Purchase Agreement require the Borrower to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.2:1.0, a first lien leverage ratio of ranging from 3.0:1.0 during 2014  to 2.75:1.0 - 2.25:1.0 during 2015 to 2.0:1.0 beginning in 2016, a EBITDA to Interest Expense ratio ranging from 2.75:1.0 during 2014, 3.75:1.0  during 2015 to 4.75:1.0 beginning in 2016 and a tangible net worth of not less than $1 million for each quarter beginning December 31, 2014.  The Borrower is also required to maintain a debt service reserve account sufficient to pay all debt and interest expense due in the next fiscal quarter. The restrictive covenants include customary restrictions on the Company's ability to incur additional debt; make investments; grant or incur liens on assets; sell assets; engage in mergers, consolidations, liquidations or dissolutions; engage in transactions with affiliates; and make dividend payments (although the Borrower is allowed to make dividend payments so long as no event of default will result from such payment or in shares of the Company’s stock). In addition, the Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default.


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


Series A Preferred Stock Financing

Liquidity and Capital Requirements – HII Technologies, Inc.


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


Critical Accounting Policies


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


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


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


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

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


ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


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


Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures


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