ABRAMS INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JULY 31, 2005, AND APRIL 30, 2005
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Abrams Industries, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) was organized under Delaware law in 1960. In 1984, the Company changed its state of incorporation from Delaware to Georgia. The Company (i) provides energy engineering and analytical consulting services and develops, implements and supports facility management software applications; (ii) implements energy saving lighting programs and provides other energy services, including facility related improvements that reduce energy and operating costs; and (iii) engages in real estate investment and development.
NOTE 2. UNAUDITED STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the accompanying disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2005. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal 2005 consolidated financial statements to conform to classifications adopted in 2006.
NOTE 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
For purposes of the required pro forma disclosures required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, the Company has computed the value of all stock option awards granted for the quarter ended July 31, 2005, and July 31, 2004, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
If the Company had accounted for its stock-based compensation awards in accordance with SFAS 123, pro forma results would have been as follows:

The Company granted 4,000 stock options and 900 shares of restricted stock for the quarter ended July 31, 2005, and 54,900 stock options and 5,200 shares of restricted stock for the quarter ended July 31, 2004. The number of stock options forfeited in the quarter ended July 31, 2005, and July 31, 2004, was 4,050 and 39,000, respectively. The number of shares of restricted stock forfeited in the quarters ended July 31, 2005, and July 31, 2004 was 100 and 200, respectively. All of the stock options vested at July 31, 2005, were exercisable as of that date.
NOTE 4. RECEIVABLES
All net contract and trade receivables are expected to be collected within one year.
NOTE 5. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Construction Segment
During fiscal 2004, the Company made the decision to curtail its operations as a general contractor, and pursuant to this decision, all operating activities have ceased. The former Construction Segment has been classified as a discontinued operation.
Real Estate Sales of Income-Producing Properties
The Company is in the business of creating long-term value by periodically realizing gains through the sale of existing real estate assets, and then redeploying its capital by reinvesting the proceeds from such sales. Effective May 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which requires, among other things, that the operating results of certain income-producing assets, sold subsequent to April 30, 2002, be included in discontinued operations in the statements of operations for all periods presented. The Company classifies an asset as held for sale when the asset is under a binding sales contract with minimal contingencies, and the buyer is materially at risk if the buyer fails to complete the transaction. However, each potential transaction is evaluated based on its separate facts and circumstances. Pursuant to this standard, as of July 31, 2005, the Company had no assets that were classified as held for sale.

On April 18, 2005, the Company sold its shopping center located in Jackson, Michigan, and recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately $4.1 million. On February 9, 2005, the Company sold its shopping center in Cincinnati, Ohio, and recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately $850,000. As a result of these transactions, the Company’s financial statements have been prepared with the assets, liabilities, results of operations, cash flows, and the gains from the sales shown as discontinued operations. All historical statements have been restated in accordance with SFAS 144. Summarized financial information for discontinued operations for the first quarter ended July 31 is as follows:

NOTE 7. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share are computed giving effect to dilutive stock equivalents resulting from outstanding stock options and stock warrants. The dilutive effect on the number of common shares for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and 2005 was 92,526 and 407, respectively. Since the Company had losses from continuing operations for both periods presented, all stock equivalents were antidilutive during these periods, and therefore are excluded when determining the diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
NOTE 8. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

NOTES TO CHART A
(1)   Revenues for the Energy Services Segment increased $132,000 or 7% for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to the same period in fiscal 2005, primarily due to the recognition of approximately $593,000 in revenues from a consulting services contract that was substantially performed in prior periods. This consulting services contract did not have any associated cost and expense in the first quarter (See Chart B).
 
(2)   Real estate revenues from continuing operations decreased $44,000 or 3% for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to the same period in fiscal 2005, primarily due to:
  (a)   a decrease in leaseback income of approximately $86,000 related to a leaseback interest in a Kmart shopping center located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, that was sold in September 2004 ;
offset by:
  (b)   a net increase in rental income of approximately $42,000.
The following table indicates the backlog of contracts and rental income for the next twelve months, by industry segment.

Total Backlog
  $ 10,861,000     $ 9,699,000  
 
           
 
(a)   Backlog includes contracts that can be cancelled with less than one year’s notice, and assumes cancellations provisions will not be invoked. The cancellation rate for such contracts in the previous twelve months was approximately 9%.
 
(b)   The increase in backlog is primarily due to an increase in customer contracts in the education, government and industrial sectors.
 
(c)   Not included in backlog are the sale of two outparcels located in North Fort Myers, Florida, both of which are under contract, with closing dates contemplated in October 2005. There can be no assurance that either sale will close.
COSTS AND EXPENSES APPLICABLE TO REVENUES
From Continuing Operations
As a percentage of total segment revenues from continuing operations (See Chart A), the total applicable costs and expenses (See Chart B) were 54% and 71% for the first quarters of fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively. In reviewing Chart B, the reader should recognize that the volume of revenues generally will affect the amounts and percentages presented there.
The figures in Chart B are net of intersegment eliminations.

NOTES TO CHART B
(1)   On a dollar basis, costs and expenses from continuing operations decreased $492,000 or 33% for the first quarter of fiscal 2006, compared to the same period of fiscal 2005, primarily due a decrease in installation contract revenues.
 
    On a percentage basis, costs and expenses decreased due to:
  (a)   the recognition of revenue from a consulting services contract that had no additional cost and expense in the first quarter; and
 
  (b)   an increase in margins on installation contract revenues from 25% in the first quarter of 2005 to 34% in the first quarter of 2006.
(2)   On a dollar and percentage basis, costs and expenses from continuing operations decreased $182,000 or 14% for the first quarter of fiscal 2006, compared to the same period of fiscal 2005, primarily due to:
  (a)   a decrease of $68,000 in lease costs related to a leaseback interest in a Kmart shopping center located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, that was sold in September 2004;
 
  (b)   a decrease in common area maintenance expense of $43,000;
 
  (c)   a decrease of $40,000 related to depreciation and amortization; and
 
  (d)   a decrease of $31,000 related to leasing and marketing expense.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
From Continuing Operations
For the first quarters of fiscal 2006 and 2005, selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) from continuing operations, net of intersegment eliminations, were $2,265,704 and $2,337,983, respectively. As a percentage of consolidated revenues from continuing operations, these expenses were 48% and 51%, respectively. In reviewing Chart C, the reader should recognize that the volume of revenues generally will affect the amounts and percentages presented there. The percentages in Chart C are based upon expenses as they relate to segment revenues from continuing operations (Chart A), except that parent and total expenses relate to consolidated revenues from continuing operations.

NOTES TO CHART C
(1)   On a dollar and percentage basis, SG&A expenses from continuing operations decreased $93,000 or 15% for the first quarter of 2006, compared to the same period of fiscal 2005, primarily due to:
  (a)   the reversal of a bad debt expense of $46,000 from one customer that was recorded in a prior period. The change was based on a substantial portion of the receivable being collected and the remaining amount is believed to be collectible; and
 
  (b)   a decrease of rent expense of $27,000 related to the Energy Facilities and Solutions Segment moving its main offices to the Company’s corporate headquarters.
(2)   On a dollar and percentage basis, SG&A expenses from continuing operations decreased $85,000 or 13% for the first quarter of 2006, compared to the same period of fiscal 2005, primarily due to a decrease in project development costs of approximately $46,000 associated with the timing of when contracts are awarded.
 
(3)   On a dollar and percentage basis, SG&A expenses from continuing operations decreased $98,000 or 27% for the first quarter of fiscal 2006, compared to the same period of fiscal 2005, primarily due to the legal costs incurred in the prior year period related to the arbitration proceedings against the Company’s former asset manager that was settled in December 2004.
 
(4)   On a dollar and percentage basis, SG&A expenses increased $204,000 or 29% for the first quarter of fiscal 2006, compared to the same period of fiscal 2005, primarily due to:
  (a)   an increase in personnel and personnel related costs of approximately $64,000; and
 
  (b)   an increase of approximately $66,000 related to marketing efforts and the re-development of the Company’s Website.
Liquidity and capital resources
Between April 30, 2005, and July 31, 2005, working capital decreased by $1,606,903. Operating activities used cash of $1,272,674 primarily due to:
  (a)   the payment of $620,000 to employees, representing a portion of the incentive compensation resulting from the successful achievement of Company-wide earnings and performance goals in fiscal 2005;
 
  (b)   an increase in note receivables of approximately $689,000 related to services performed on a consulting contract;

13


Table of Contents

  (c)   a net decrease in trade and subcontractors payables, accrued expenses and billings in excess of costs and earnings of $371,000 due to the timing and submission of payments; and
 
  (d)   an increase in other current assets of approximately $218,000 related to insurance prepayments;
offset by:
  (e)   a net decrease in receivables and costs and earnings in excess of billings of approximately $853,000.
Investing activities provided cash of $2,864,311, primarily due to:
  (a)   the release of approximately $3,490,000 previously held in escrow for the purpose of purchasing a replacement property as part of an Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 federal tax deferred exchange for the Company’s shopping center located in Cincinnati, Ohio, sold in February 2005. The Company did not purchase a replacement property.
offset by:
  (b)   approximately $311,000 in tenant and building improvements; and
 
  (c)   additions to intangible assets of $214,000 primarily related to software development costs for one of the Company’s proprietary software solutions.
Financing activities used cash of $441,113 for scheduled principal payments of mortgage notes and other long-term debt and the regular quarterly dividend. Discontinued operations used cash of $10,183.
The Company anticipates that its existing cash balances, equity, line of credit, potential proceeds from sales of real estate, potential cash flow provided by financing or refinancing of debt obligations, the possible exercise of stock options, and cash flow generated from operations will, for the foreseeable future, provide adequate liquidity and financial flexibility to meet the Company’s needs to fund working capital, capital expenditures, and investment activities.
Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements
Certain statements contained or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including without limitation, statements containing the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” and words of similar import, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other matters which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance, or uncertainties expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Factors relating to general global, national, regional, and local economic conditions, including international political stability, national defense, homeland security, natural disasters, employment levels, wage and salary levels, consumer confidence, availability of credit, taxation policies, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, SEC reporting requirements, fees paid to vendors in order to remain in compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC requirements, interest rates, capital spending, and inflation could negatively impact the Company and its customers, suppliers, and sources of capital. Any significant negative impact from these factors could result in material adverse effects on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

to attract and retain key personnel; weather conditions; changes in laws and regulations, including changes in accounting standards, generally accepted accounting principles, and regulatory requirements of the SEC and NASDAQ; overall vacancy rates in markets where the Company leases retail and office space; overall capital spending trends in the economy; the timing and amount of earnings recognition related to the possible sale of real estate properties held for sale; delays in or cancellations of customers’ orders; the level and volatility of interest rates; the level and volatility of energy prices; the failure of a subcontractor to perform; and the deterioration in the financial stability of an anchor tenant, significant subcontractor or other significant customer.
Critical Accounting Policies
A critical accounting policy is one that is both important to the portrayal of a Company’s financial position and results of operations, and requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes. In preparing these financial statements, the Company has made its best estimates and used its best judgments regarding certain amounts included in the financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. The application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and the use of assumptions regarding future uncertainties, and as a result, actual results could differ from those estimates. Management believes that the Company’s most critical accounting policies include:
Revenue recognition
Energy and facilities solutions revenues primarily consist of services and product sales. Revenues are recognized as services are rendered, and depending upon the product type and customer agreement, product sales are recognized when products are installed or when products are delivered.
Energy services revenues are reported on the percentage-of-completion method, using costs incurred to-date in relation to estimated total costs of the contracts, to measure the stage of completion. Original contract prices are adjusted for changes in estimated total contract costs and revenues (change orders), in the amounts that are reasonably estimated based on the Company’s historical experience. The cumulative effects of change orders are recorded in the period in which the facts requiring such revisions become known, and are accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method. At the time it is determined that a contract is expected to result in a loss, the entire estimated loss is recorded.
The Company leases space in its income-producing properties to tenants, and recognizes minimum base rentals as revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. Tenants may also be required to pay additional rental amounts based on property operating expenses. In addition, certain tenants are required to pay incremental rental amounts, which are contingent on their store sales. These percentage rents are recognized only if and when earned.
Revenues from the sale of real estate are recognized when all of the following has occurred: (a) the property is transferred to the buyer; (b) the buyer’s initial and continuing investment is adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property; and (c) the buyer has assumed all future ownership risks of the property. Costs of sales related to real estate are based on the specific property sold. When a portion or unit of a development property is sold, a proportionate share of the total cost of the development is charged to cost of sales.
Income-producing properties and property and equipment
Income-producing properties are stated at cost, and are depreciated for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

15


Table of Contents

Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Significant additions that extend asset lives are capitalized. Normal maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.
Interest and other carrying costs related to real estate assets under construction are capitalized. Costs of development and construction of real estate assets are also capitalized. Capitalization of interest and other carrying costs is discontinued when a development project is substantially completed or if active development ceases.
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are required to be reviewed for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to estimated future net discounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. The most significant assumptions in the impairment analysis are revenue growth and discount rate. If an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the asset’s fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or estimated fair value less costs to sell.
Income taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date of such change.
Discontinued Operations
The Company adopted SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long- Lived Assets, effective May 1, 2002, which requires, among other things, that the gains and losses from the disposition of certain income-producing real estate assets and the related historical operating results be reflected as discontinued operations in the statements of operations for all periods presented. Although net earnings is not affected, the Company has reclassified results previously included in continuing operations to discontinued operations for qualifying dispositions pursuant to SFAS 144.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes since April 30, 2005. Refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005, for detailed disclosures about quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management has evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this report. This evaluation was carried out with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. No system of controls, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the system of controls are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that the system of controls has operated effectively in all cases. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, however, are designed to provide a reasonable assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met.
Based on management’s evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of the end of the period covered by this report, to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures were met.
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
