Annual Report


ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto contained in this Annual Report. In this discussion, the words "Company", "we", "our" and "us" refer to Command Security Corporation.

FORWARD- LOOKING STATEMENTS

This section, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, other sections of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and other reports and verbal statements made by our representatives from time to time may contain forward-looking statements that are based on our assumptions, expectations and projections about us and the security industry. These include statements regarding our expectations about revenues, our liquidity, or expenses and our continued growth, among others. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as "may," "expect," "anticipate," "contemplate," "believe," "estimate," "intends," and "continue" or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they:

· discuss future expectations;

· contain projections of future results of operations or financial condition; and

· state other "forward-looking" information.

Such forward-looking statements by their nature involve a degree of risk and uncertainty. We caution you to not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Annual Report. We further caution you that a variety of factors, including but not limited to the factors described under Item 1A, "Risk Factors" and the following, could cause business conditions and our results to differ materially from what is contained in forward-looking statements:

· changes in general economic conditions in the United States and abroad;

· changes in the financial condition of our customers;

· legislation or regulatory environments, requirements or changes adversely affecting our business or the businesses in which our customers are engaged;

· cancellations and non-renewals of existing contracts;

· changes in our estimates of costs;

· war and/or terrorist attacks on facilities where services are or may be provided;

· outcomes of pending and future litigation;

· increasing competition by other companies;

· changes in interest rates;

· compliance with our loan covenants;

· changing interpretations of GAAP;

· the general volatility of the market price of our securities;

· the availability of qualified personnel;

· recoverability of claims against our customers and others by us and claims by third parties against us; and

· changes in estimates used in our critical accounting policies.

Other factors and assumptions not identified above were also involved in the formation of these forward-looking statements and the failure of such other assumptions to be realized, as well as other factors, may also cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Most of these factors are difficult to predict accurately and are generally beyond our control. You should consider the areas of risk described above in connection with any forward-looking statements that may be made by us.

All forward-looking statements included herein attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. We have based the forward-looking statements included in this Annual Report on information available to us on the date of this annual report and, except to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations, we undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this annual report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Although we undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, you are advised to consult any additional disclosures that we make directly to you or through reports that we in the future may file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. Our actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors including, but not limited to, those presented under "Risk Factors" included in Item 1A and elsewhere in this Annual Report.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES.

Critical accounting policies are defined as those most important to the portrayal of a company's financial condition and results and that require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The estimates that we make include allowances for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, income tax assets and insurance reserves. Estimates are based on historical experience, where applicable or other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. We have identified the policies described below as our critical accounting policies. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. See "Notes to Financial Statements-Note 1 Business Description and Summary of Accounting Policies."

Revenue Recognition

We record revenues as services are provided to our customers. Revenues relate primarily to the provision of aviation and security services, which are typically billed at hourly rates. These rates may vary depending on base, overtime and holiday time worked. Revenue for administrative services provided to other security companies are calculated as a percentage of the administrative service customer's revenue and are recognized when billings for the related security services are generated. Revenue is reported net of applicable taxes.

Accounts Receivable

We periodically evaluate the requirement for providing for billing adjustments and/or credit losses on our accounts receivable. We provide for billing adjustments where management determines that there is a likelihood of a significant adjustment for disputed billings. Criteria used by management to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts include, among others, the creditworthiness of the customer,

current trends, prior payment performance, the age of the receivables and our overall historical loss experience. Individual accounts are charged off against the allowance as management deems them to be uncollectible.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are stated at cost and consist primarily of customer lists and borrowing costs that are being amortized on a straight-line basis over three to ten years, and goodwill, which is reviewed annually for impairment. The life assigned to customer lists acquired is based on management's estimate of our expected customer attrition rate. The attrition rate is estimated based on historical contract longevity and management's operating experience. We test for impairment annually or when events and circumstances warrant such a review, if earlier. Any potential impairment is evaluated based on anticipated undiscounted future cash flows and actual customer attrition in accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment.

Insurance Reserves

General liability estimated accrued liabilities are calculated on an undiscounted basis based on actual claim data and estimates of incurred but not reported claims developed utilizing historical claim trends. Projected settlements and incurred but not reported claims are estimated based on pending claims, historical trends and related data.

Workers' compensation annual premiums are based on the incurred losses as determined at the end of the coverage period, subject to minimum and maximum premiums. Estimated accrued liabilities are based on our historical loss experience and the ratio of claims paid to our historical payout profiles.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are based on income (loss) for financial reporting purposes and reflect a current tax liability (asset) for the estimated taxes payable (recoverable) in the current year tax return and changes in deferred taxes. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and are measured using enacted tax laws and rates. A valuation allowance is provided on deferred tax assets if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized. In the event that interest and/or penalties are assessed in connection with our tax filings, interest will be recorded as interest expense and penalties as selling, general and administrative expense.

We recognize the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgement occurs. In the event that interest and/or penalties are assessed in connection with our tax filings, interest will be recorded as interest expense and penalties as selling, general and administrative expense.

Stock Based Compensation

FASB ASC 718, Stock Compensation, requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values at grant date and the recognition of the related expense over the period in which the share-based compensation vests. We use the modified-prospective transition method. Under the modified-prospective transition method, we recognize compensation expense in our financial statements issued subsequent to the date of adoption for all share-based payments granted, modified or settled. Non-cash charges of $160,730 and $467,526 for stock based compensation have been recorded for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

OVERVIEW

We principally provide uniformed security officers and aviation services to commercial, residential, financial, industrial, aviation and governmental customers through approximately 35 offices throughout the United States. In conjunction with providing these services, we assume responsibility for a variety of functions, including recruiting, hiring, training and supervising all operating personnel as well as paying such personnel and providing them with uniforms, fringe benefits and workers' compensation insurance.

Our customer-focused mission is to provide the best personalized supervision and management attention necessary to deliver timely and efficient security solutions so that our customers can operate in safe environments without disruption or loss. Technology underpins our efficiency, accuracy and dependability. We use a sophisticated software system that integrates scheduling, payroll and billing functions, giving customers the benefit of customized programs using the personnel best suited to the job.

Renewing and extending existing contracts and obtaining new contracts are crucial to our ability to generate revenues, earnings and cash flow. In addition, our growth strategy involves the acquisition and integration of complementary businesses in order to increase our scale within certain geographical areas, increase our market share in the markets in which we operate, gain market share in the markets in which we do not currently operate and improve our profitability. We intend to pursue suitable acquisition opportunities for contract security officer businesses. We frequently evaluate acquisition opportunities and, at any given time, may be in various stages of due diligence or preliminary discussions with respect to a number of potential acquisitions. However, we cannot assure you that we will identify any suitable acquisition candidates or, if identified, that we will be able to complete the acquisition of such candidates on favorable terms or at all.

The global security industry has grown largely due to an increasing fear of crime and terrorism. In the United States, the demand for security-related products and central station monitoring services also has grown steadily. We believe that there is continued heightened attention to and demand for security due to worldwide events, and the ensuing threat, or perceived threat, of criminal and terrorist activities. For these reasons, we expect that security will continue to be a key area of focus both domestically in the United States and abroad.

Demand for security officer services is dependent upon a number of factors, including, among other things, demographic trends, general economic variables such as growth in the gross domestic product, unemployment rates, consumer spending levels, perceived and actual crime rates, government legislation, terrorism sensitivity, war/external conflicts and technology.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Earnings

Our net income for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $140,760 and $1,620,255, respectively. Our net income was impacted primarily by: (i) the loss of a major domestic carrier's aviation services business at six domestic airport locations during the latter half of fiscal 2011; (ii) the loss of security services contracts for a Silicon Valley technology company, a Silicon Valley semiconductor equipment manufacturer's facility in New York and a company that provides distribution services to a grocery retailer in New Jersey; (iii) reductions in security services hours associated with a large bank and financial services organization; (iv) reductions in service hours and rates associated with the renewal of a contract with a major international air carrier at John F. Kennedy International Airport ("JFK"); (v) additional federal and state unemployment tax surcharges associated with several states in which we operate that had Federal Unemployment Trust Fund loans, taken to keep their unemployment insurance benefit programs solvent during recent periods of extended high unemployment; (vi) higher costs associated with our workers' compensation insurance program; (vii) professional and related fees principally associated with settlement of employment related claims and (viii) the loss on sale of investments as described in "-Loss/Gain on Sale of Investments" below. The decrease in net income was partially offset by: (i) expansion of security services under a contract with a major transportation company; (ii) expansion of services provided to new and existing security and aviation customers; (iii) a decrease in general and administrative expenses that resulted primarily from lower executive salaries (due mainly to the reorganization of our regional and local branch management), which were partially offset by higher legal and executive search fees.

Revenues

Our revenues decreased by $4,931,990, or 3.4%, to $141,558,169 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, from $146,490,159 in the corresponding period of the prior year. The decrease in revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 was mainly due to: (i) the previously reported loss of a major domestic carrier's aviation services business at six domestic airport locations of approximately $7,655,000; (ii) the loss of security services contracts for a Silicon Valley technology company, a Silicon Valley semiconductor equipment manufacturer's facility in New York and a company that provides distribution services to a grocery retailer in New Jersey of approximately $2,035,000; (iii) reductions in security services hours associated with a large banking and financial services organization of approximately $2,118,000; (iv) reductions in service hours and rates of approximately $477,000 associated with the renewal of a contract with a major international air carrier at JFK and (v) the loss of a major international air carrier's aviation services business at JFK during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 of approximately $345,000. The decrease in our revenues was partially offset by: (i) increased revenues of approximately $4,044,000 associated with an expansion of services provided under a contract with a major transportation company; (ii) a new aviation services contract with a municipal airport authority of approximately $1,150,000 and (iii) expansion of services to new and existing security and aviation customers that resulted in additional aggregate revenues of approximately $2,288,000.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 decreased $2,996,788 or 14.9% to $17,098,381 (12.1% of revenues) from $20,095,169 (13.7% of revenues) for fiscal 2011. Our gross profit was impacted primarily by: (i) the loss of a major domestic carrier's aviation services business as noted above; (ii) the loss of security services contracts for a technology company, semiconductor equipment manufacturer and a company that provides distribution services to a grocery retailer as described above; (iii) reductions in security services hours associated with a large bank and financial services organization; (iv) reductions in service hours and rates associated with the renewal of a contract and the loss of another major international aviation carrier's business at JFK as noted above; (v) additional federal unemployment tax surcharges associated with several states in which we operate that had Federal Unemployment Trust Fund loans, taken to keep their unemployment insurance benefit programs solvent during recent periods of extended high unemployment; (vi) higher costs associated with our workers' compensation insurance program and (vii) professional and related fees principally associated with settlement of employment related claims. The decrease in gross profit was partially offset by expansion of security services to a major transportation company and services provided to new and existing security and aviation customers as described above.

We have an insurance policy covering workers' compensation claims in States in which we perform services. Estimated accrued liabilities are based on our historical loss experience and the ratio of claims paid to our historical payout profiles. Charges for estimated workers' compensation related losses incurred and included in cost of sales were $2,800,455 and $2,561,114 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The nature of our business also subjects us to claims or litigation alleging that we are liable for damages as a result of the conduct of our employees or others. We insure against such claims and suits through general liability policies with third-party insurance companies. Our insurance coverage limits are currently $7,000,000 per occurrence for non-aviation related business (with an additional excess umbrella policy of $10,000,000) and $30,000,000 per occurrence for aviation related business. We retain the risk for the first $25,000 per occurrence on the non-aviation related policy that includes airport wheelchair and electric cart operations and $5,000 on the aviation related policy (except $25,000 for damage to aircraft and $100,000 for skycap operations). Estimated accrued liabilities are based on specific reserves in connection with existing claims as determined by third party risk management consultants and actuarial factors and the timing of reported claims. These are all factored into estimated losses incurred but not yet reported to us.

General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 decreased by $684,060 to $15,890,719 (11.2% of revenues) from $16,574,779 (11.3% of revenues) in fiscal 2011. The decrease in general and administrative expenses resulted primarily from a decrease in executive salaries resulting mainly from reorganizing our regional and local branch management, which was partially offset by higher legal and executive search fees.

Provision for Doubtful Accounts

The provision for doubtful accounts for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 decreased by $5,036 to $302,417 from $307,453 in fiscal 2011. The decrease is due mainly to the timing and amounts of uncollectible accounts charged and/or credited to expense between the current and prior year period.

We periodically evaluate the requirement for providing for billing adjustments and/or credit losses on our accounts receivable. We provide for billing adjustments where our management determines that there is a likelihood of a significant adjustment for disputed billings. Criteria used by management to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts include, among others, the creditworthiness of the customer, current trends, prior payment performance, the age of the receivables and our overall historical loss experience. Individual accounts are charged off against the allowance as management deems them as uncollectible. We do not know if bad debts will increase in future periods nor does our management believe that the decrease during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 compared with the same period of the prior year is necessarily indicative of a trend.

Bad Debt Recoveries

Bad debt recoveries for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 decreased by $33,735 to $74,846 from $108,581 in fiscal 2011. The recoveries in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 are primarily due to the receipt of $73,902 and $95,388, respectively, in marketable securities related principally to the bankruptcy filing of a security services customer.

Interest Income

Interest income was comparable for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, and principally represents interest earned on cash balances.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 decreased by $82,071 to $261,413 from $343,484 in fiscal 2011. The decrease in interest expense was due primarily to lower average outstanding borrowings under our credit agreement with Wells Fargo and reduced borrowing rates, described below.

Equipment Dispositions

Equipment dispositions are a result of the sale of vehicles, office equipment and security equipment at prices above or below book value.

The $4,915 and $21,277 gain on equipment dispositions for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, were primarily due to the disposition of Company vehicles at amounts in excess of their respective book values.

Loss/Gain on Sale of Investments

The $167,958 loss on sale of investments for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 primarily represents carrying value in excess of proceeds for the sale of stock received under our claim related to the bankruptcy filings of Delta and Northwest Airlines in September 2005. The $36,488 gain on sale of investments for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 represents proceeds in excess of carrying amount for the sale of stock received under our claim related to the bankruptcy filing of Spansion Inc. in March 2009.

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 decreased $1,001,000 compared with fiscal 2011 due mainly to decrease in our pre-tax earnings which was partially offset by the loss of deferred tax assets resulting from the cancellation of stock options previously held by former employees and directors. We have determined based on our expectations for the future that it is more likely than not that future taxable income will be sufficient to utilize fully the net deferred tax assets at March 31, 2012 and 2011.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During fiscal 2012, we began paying employees and administrative service customers on a bi-weekly basis, except for one operating location at which employees are paid weekly, while customers pay for services generally within 60 days after billing by us. We maintain a commercial revolving loan arrangement, currently with Wells Fargo. We fund our payroll and operations primarily through borrowings under our $20,000,000 credit facility with Wells Fargo (as amended, the "Credit Agreement"), described below under "-Wells Fargo Revolving Credit Facility."

We principally use short-term borrowings under our Credit Agreement to fund our accounts receivable. Our short-term borrowings have supported the accounts receivable associated with our organic growth. We intend to continue to use short-term borrowings to support our working capital requirements.

We believe that our existing funds, cash generated from operations, and existing sources of and access to financing are adequate to satisfy our working capital, capital expenditures and debt service requirements for the foreseeable future. However, we cannot assure you that this will be the case, and we may be required to obtain alternative or additional financing to maintain and expand our existing operations through the sale of our securities, an increase in the amount of available borrowings under our Credit Agreement, obtaining additional financing from other financial institutions or otherwise. The failure by us to obtain such financing, if needed, would have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Wells Fargo Revolving Credit Facility

On February 12, 2009, we entered into a $20,000,000 Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo. This Credit Agreement, which was amended in October 2011 as described below, matures in October 2016, and contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other things, covenants requiring us to maintain certain financial ratios and is collateralized by customer accounts receivable and certain other assets of the Company as defined in the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement provides for a letter of credit sub-line in an aggregate amount of up to $3,000,000. The Credit Agreement also provides for interest to be calculated on the outstanding principal balance of the revolving loans at the Prime Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1.50%. For LIBOR loans, interest will be calculated on the outstanding principal balance of the LIBOR loans at the LIBOR rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 2.75% (see below).

On October 18, 2011, we entered into an amendment (the "Amendment") to our Credit Agreement. The Amendment (i) extends the term of the $20,000,000 Credit Facility to October 2016, (ii) decreases the interest rate spreads on the outstanding principal balance of the revolving loans to LIBOR plus 1.75% and amends certain covenants including: (a) increasing the amount of capital expenditures that can be incurred in the aggregate during any fiscal year or in any one transaction and (b) permitting us to repurchase up to $2,000,000 of our common stock subject to certain conditions.

As of March 31, 2012, the interest rate was 2.0% for LIBOR loans. Closing costs for the Credit Agreement totaled $314,706 and were amortized over the original three year term of the Credit Agreement which ended in February 2012.

At March 31, 2012, we had $5,000,000 in LIBOR loans and $202,807 under our letters of credit sub-line outstanding under the Credit Agreement, representing approximately 41% of the maximum borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement based on our "eligible accounts receivable" (as defined under the Credit Agreement) as of such date.

We rely on our revolving loan from Wells Fargo which contains a fixed charge covenant and various other financial and non-financial covenants. If we breach a covenant, Wells Fargo has the right to immediately request the repayment in full of all borrowings under the Credit Agreement, unless Wells Fargo waives the breach. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement. See "Notes to Financial Statements-Note 7 Borrowings."
