NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

NOTE 1 — BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Principal Operations

Swisher Hygiene Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company” or “we” or “our”) provide essential hygiene and sanitation solutions to customers throughout much of North America and internationally through its global network of company owned operations, franchises and master licensees. These solutions include essential products and services that are designed to promote superior cleanliness and sanitation in commercial environments, while enhancing the safety, satisfaction and well-being of employees and patrons. These solutions are typically delivered by employees on a regularly scheduled basis and involve providing our customers with: (i) consumable products such as soap, paper, cleaning chemicals, detergents, and supplies, together with the rental and servicing of dish machines and other equipment for the dispensing of those products; (ii) the rental of facility service items requiring regular maintenance and cleaning, such as floor mats, mops, bar towels and linens; (iii) manual cleaning of their facilities; and (iv) solid waste collection services. We serve customers in a wide range of end-markets, with a particular emphasis on the foodservice, hospitality, retail, industrial, and healthcare industries. In addition, our solid waste collection services provide services primarily to commercial and residential customers through contracts with municipalities or other agencies.

The Company has company owned operations and franchise operations located throughout the United States and Canada and has entered into 10 Master License Agreements covering the United Kingdom, Ireland, Portugal, the Netherlands, Singapore, the Philippines, Taiwan, Korea, Hong Kong/Macau/China, and Mexico.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and therefore do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP and the SEC for annual financial statements. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that management believes are necessary for the fair presentation of their financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. The information at December 31, 2010 in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets included in this quarterly report was derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011. The Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, together with the information included in such report, is referred to in this quarterly report as the “2010 Annual Report.” This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the 2010 Annual Report.

All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain adjustments have been made to conform prior periods to the current year presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could affect the results of operations reported in future periods.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2010 Annual Report. Any significant changes to those policies or new significant policies are described below.

Acquisition and merger expenses

Acquisition and merger expenses include costs directly related to the acquisition of two of our franchises and twenty independent businesses during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and the acquisition of nine of our franchises and forty-five independent businesses during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Acquisition and merger expenses also include costs directly-related to the merger with CoolBrands International, Inc. (“CoolBrands”) as discussed in Note 1 of our 2010 Annual Report. These costs include third party due diligence, legal, accounting, and professional service expenses.

Segments

On March 1, 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of Choice Environmental Services, Inc. (“Choice”), a Florida based company that provides a complete range of solid waste and recycling collection, transportation, processing and disposal services. As a result of the acquisition of Choice, the Company now has two segments: (1) Hygiene and (2) Waste. The Company’s hygiene segment primarily provides commercial hygiene services and products throughout much of the United States, and additionally operates a worldwide franchise and license system to provide the same products and services in markets where Company owned operations do not exist. The Company’s waste segment primarily consists of the operations of Choice and acquisitions of solid waste collection businesses. Prior to the acquisition of Choice, the Company managed, allocated resources, and reported in one segment, Hygiene. See Note 14 for segment disclosures.

Adoption of Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue Recognition: In October 2009, the FASB issued new standards for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. These new standards affect the determination of when individual deliverables included in a multiple-element arrangement may be treated as separate units of accounting. In addition, these new standards modify the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across separately identified deliverables, eliminate the use of the residual value method of allocating arrangement consideration and require expanded disclosure. These new standards became effective for multiple-element arrangements entered into or materially modified on or after January 1, 2011. Earlier application was permitted with required transition disclosures based on the period of adoption. We adopted these standards for multiple-element arrangements entered into or materially modified on or after January 1, 2011. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Goodwill: In December 2010, the FASB issued new standards defining when step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts should be performed and modifies step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts an entity is required to perform step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The standards are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010 and were effective for the Company on January 1, 2011. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Business Combinations: In December 2010, the FASB issued new standards that clarify that if comparative financial statements are presented the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. The update also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The standards are effective prospectively for material (either on an individual or aggregate basis) business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company has included the required disclosures in Note 3.

Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Goodwill: In September 2011, the FASB issued new standards that allow an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform the first step of the two-step impairment test by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing the fair value with the carrying value of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the entity is required to perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. In addition an entity has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. An entity may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. These standards are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of these standards on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Comprehensive Income: In June 2011, the FASB issued new standards to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. This standard eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. These standards are to be applied retrospectively and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of these standards on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements: In May 2011, the FASB issued new standards clarifying the wording used to describe the requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements and expands fair value disclosures. These standards are to be applied prospectively and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of these standards on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 3 — ACQUISITIONS

Choice Acquisition

On February 13, 2011, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Choice Agreement”) with Swsh Merger Sub, Inc., a Florida corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Choice, and other parties, as set forth in the Choice Agreement. The Choice Agreement provided for the acquisition of Choice by the Company by way of merger.

In connection with the merger with Choice, on February 23, 2011, we entered into an agency agreement, which the agents agreed to market, on a best efforts basis 12,262,500 subscription receipts (“Subscription Receipts”) at a price of $4.80 per Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of up to $58,859,594. Each Subscription Receipt entitled the holder to acquire one share of our common stock, without payment of any additional consideration, upon completion of our acquisition of Choice.

On March 1, 2011, we closed the acquisition of Choice and issued 8,281,920 shares of our common stock to the former shareholders of Choice and assumed $40,941,484 of debt, which $39,219,160 was paid down with proceeds from the private placement of the Subscription Receipts. In addition, certain shareholders of Choice received $5,700,000 in cash and warrants to purchase an additional 918,076 shares at an exercise price of $6.21, which expired on March 31, 2011 and were not exercised.

On March 1, 2011, in connection with the closing of the acquisition of Choice, the 12,262,500 Subscription Receipts were exchanged for 12,262,500 shares of our common stock. We agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file a resale registration statement with the SEC relating to the shares of common stock underlying the Subscription Receipts. If the registration statement was not filed or declared effective within specified time periods, or if the registration statement had ceased to be effective for a period of time exceeding certain grace periods, between the date such shares of common stock were issued and November 10, 2011, the initial subscribers of Subscription Receipts would have been entitled to receive an additional 0.1 share of common stock for each share of common stock underlying Subscription Receipts held by any such initial subscriber at the time such grace period lapsed. The Company filed a resale registration statement with the SEC relating to the 8,291,920 shares issued to the former shareholders of Choice and the 12,262,500 shares issued in connection with the private placement. The registration statement was effective as of the date of this filing.

Choice has been in business since 2004 and serves more than 150,000 residential and 7,500 commercial customers in the Southern and Central Florida regions through its 320 employees and over 150 collection vehicles by offering a complete range of solid waste and recycling collection, transportation, processing and disposal services. Choice operates nine hauling operations and three transfer and material recovery facilities.

The following table presents the purchase price consideration as of March 1, 2011:


Consideration:
Issuance of shares at stock price of $5.89	$	48,780,526
Debt		40,941,484
Cash paid		7,553,784

	$	97,275,794

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is based on the best information available to management. This allocation is provisional, as the Company is required to recognize additional assets or liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of March 1, 2011 that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets or liabilities as of that date. The Company may adjust the preliminary purchase price allocation after obtaining additional information regarding asset valuation, liabilities assumed and revisions of previous estimates. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price based on the estimated fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of Choice as of March 1, 2011 as follows:

See Note 16 for additional acquisitions subsequent to September 30, 2011.

Supplemental pro forma information

The results of operations of acquisitions since their respective acquisition dates are included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements include $49,578,000 of revenue and $3,310,000 of net income before income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and $93,135,770 of revenue and $2,303,832 of net income before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from the nine franchises and forty-five independent businesses, including Choice, acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

NOTE 4 — GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill and other intangible assets have been recognized in connection with the acquisitions described in Note 3 and substantially all of the balance is expected to be fully deductible for income tax purposes, except for goodwill related to the acquisition of Choice, which was a stock acquisition. Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill and other intangibles for each of the Company’s segments during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were as follows:

Hygiene Segment

The fair value of the customer relationships and contracts acquired is based on future discounted cash flows expected to be generated from those customers. These customer relationships and contracts will be amortized on a straight-line basis over five to ten years, which is primarily based on historical customer attrition rates. The fair value of the non-compete agreements will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the length of the agreements, typically not exceeding five years.

Waste Segment

The fair value of the customer relationships and contracts acquired is based on future discounted cash flows expected to be generated from contracts with municipalities and customers. These customer relationships and contracts will be amortized on a straight-line basis over seven years, which is the weighted average of the estimated life of the contracts acquired. The fair value of the non-compete agreements will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the length of the agreements, typically not exceeding five years.

NOTE 5 — EQUITY

Choice

As part of the purchase price of Choice we issued 8,281,920 shares of our common stock to the previous shareholders of Choice. See Note 3.

Private placements

As discussed in Note 3, on March 1, 2011, in connection with the closing of the Choice acquisition, the 12,262,500 Subscription Receipts were exchanged for 12,262,500 shares of our common stock. As part of this transaction, we received cash of $56,253,791, net of issuance costs.

In addition, on March 22, 2011, we entered into a series of arm’s length securities purchase agreements to sell 12,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $5.00 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $60,000,000 to certain funds of a global financial institution (the “Private Placement”). We intend to use the proceeds from the Private Placement to further our organic and acquisition growth strategy, as well as for working capital purposes. On March 23, 2011, we closed the Private Placement and issued 12,000,000 shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreements, the shares of common stock issued in the Private Placement may not be transferred on or before June 24, 2011, without our consent. We agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file a resale registration statement with the SEC relating to the shares of common stock sold in the Private Placement. If the registration statement was not filed or declared effective within specified time periods the investors would have been, or if the registration statement ceases to remain effective for a period of time exceeding certain grace periods, the investors will be entitled to receive liquidated damages in cash equal to one percent of the original offering price for each share purchased in the private placement that at such time cannot be sold by the investor as a result of the registration statement not being effective. The Company filed a resale registration statement with the SEC relating to the 12,000,000 shares issued in the Private Placement. The registration statement was effective as of the date of this filing.

On April 15, 2011, we entered into a series of arm’s length securities purchase agreements to sell 9,857,143 shares of our common stock at a price of $7.70 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $75,900,000 to certain funds of a global financial institution. We completed this transaction on April 19, 2011 and intend to use the proceeds from this transaction to further our organic and acquisition growth strategy, as well as for working capital purposes. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreements, the Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file, after July 24, 2011 a resale registration statement with the SEC relating to the shares of common stock sold in the private placement. If the registration statement was not filed or declared effective within the specified time periods the investors would have been, or if the registration statement ceases to remain effective for a period of time exceeding certain grace periods, the investors will be, entitled to receive liquidated damages in cash equal to one percent of the original offering price for each share purchased in the private placement that at such time cannot be sold by the investor as a result of the registration statement not being effective. The Company filed a resale registration statement with the SEC relating to the 9,857,143 shares. The registration statement was effective as of the date of this filing.

Acquisitions and asset purchases

We issued a total of 7,359,435 shares of our common stock in connection with certain acquisitions of franchisees and businesses during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we issued 360,782 shares for purchases of property and equipment of $194,648 and to settle $987,879 of liabilities.

Stock based compensation and warrants

Stock based compensation is the result of the recognition of the fair value of share based compensation on the date of grant over the service period for which the awards are expected to vest. Options to purchase 705,000 shares were exercised at a weighted average exercise price of $0.88 during 2011.

In May 2011, warrants to purchase 5,500,000 shares with an exercise price of $0.50 in Canadian dollars per warrant issued to a director of CoolBrands and the Company, and certain parties related to the director, were exercised and as a result, we received cash of $2,750,000 in Canadian dollars.

Convertible promissory note

During 2011, convertible promissory notes were converted into 3,497,858 shares of the Company’s common stock. See Note 6.

Revolving Credit Facilities

In March 2011, we entered into a $100 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “credit facility”). Borrowings under the credit facility are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our existing and hereafter acquired assets, including $25 million of cash on borrowings in excess of $75 million. Furthermore, borrowings under the facility are guaranteed by all of our domestic subsidiaries and secured by substantially all the assets and stock of our domestic subsidiaries and substantially all of the stock of our foreign subsidiaries. Interest on borrowings under the credit facility will typically accrue at London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.5% to 4.0%, depending on the ratio of senior debt to (“Adjusted EBITDA”) (as such term is defined in the credit facility, which includes specified adjustments and allowances authorized by the lender). For the three months ended September 30, 2011 interest accrued based on LIBOR plus 2.5%. We also have the option to request swingline loans and borrowings using a base rate. Interest is payable monthly or quarterly on all outstanding borrowings. The credit facility matures in July 2013.

Borrowings and availability under the credit facility are subject to compliance with financial covenants, including achieving specified consolidated Adjusted EBITDA levels and maintaining leverage and coverage ratios and a minimum liquidity requirement. The consolidated EBITDA covenant, the leverage and coverage ratios, and the minimum liquidity requirements should not be considered indicative of the Company’s expectations regarding future performance. The credit facility also places restrictions on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, make certain acquisitions, create liens or other encumbrances, sell or otherwise dispose of assets, and merge or consolidate with other entities or enter into a change of control transaction. In August 2011, the Company entered into an amendment that modifies the covenants, including an increase in permitted indebtedness to $40.0 million. Failure to achieve or maintain the financial covenants in the credit facility or failure to comply with one or more of the operational covenants could adversely affect our ability to borrow monies and could result in a default under the credit facility. The credit facility is subject to other standard default provisions. We have met all the required covenants under the credit facility as of September 30, 2011.

The credit facility replaces our prior $25 million aggregated credit facilities, which are discussed in the 2010 Annual Report.

In August 2011, the Company entered into an agreement, which provides financing up to $16.4 million for new and used trucks, carts, compactors, and containers for our Waste segment. The financing will consist of one or more fixed rate loans that have a term of five years. The interest rate for borrowings under this facility will be determined at the time each such borrowing and will be based on a spread over the five year U.S. swap rate. The commitment letter expires in February 2012 with a renewal option of six months, if approved. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, borrowings of $8.9 million were made at and average interest rate of 3.55%.

Separately in August 2011, the Company entered into an agreement to finance new and replacement vehicles for its fleet that allows for one or more fixed rate loans totaling in the aggregate, no more than $18.6 million. The commitment, which expires in June 2012, is secured by Waste segment’s vehicles and containers. The interest rate for borrowings under this facility will be determined at the time of each such borrowing and will be based on a spread above the U.S swap rate for the applicable term, either four or five years. Borrowings under this loan commitment are subject to the same financial convents as the above credit facility. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, borrowings of $5.3 million were made at an average interest rate of 4.47%.

In addition, in August 2011, the Company obtained an additional line of credit of $25 million for new and replacement vehicles for its fleet and obtained a commitment letter to finance information technology and related equipment not to exceed $2.5 million. The interest rate and term for each fixed rate loan will be determined at the time of each such borrowing and will be based on a spread over the U.S. swap rate for the applicable term. The commitment expires in August 2014. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company has not made any borrowings under these agreements.

Choice debt assumed and capital lease obligations with related parties

In connection with the acquisition of Choice, we assumed $40,941,484 of debt of which $39,219,160 was paid off at the time of the acquisition. The remaining debt was recorded at fair value on the date of the acquisition and included in acquisition notes payable above. Payments are made monthly and mature at various dates through August 2018.

In addition, in connection with the acquisition of Choice we entered into capital leases that have initial terms of five or ten years with companies owned by shareholders of Choice to finance the cost of leasing office buildings and properties, including warehouses. Minimum payments under these capital leases for the next five years are $534,000 each year and $1,920,000 thereafter. We also recorded the fair value of $3,074,000 for these properties leased in property and equipment, which will be depreciated over the term of the respective lease.

Convertible notes

Conversions during 2011

In February 2011, a 6% convertible promissory note of $5,000,000 due on September 30, 2011 issued as part of total consideration paid for an acquisition was fully converted into 1,312,864 of the Company’s common shares. Since the convertible note was issued as part of a business combination, the note was recorded at fair value of $6,429,720 on the date of issuance including $5,182,500 recorded as a current liability and $1,247,220 recorded as Additional paid-in capital reflecting the promissory note’s beneficial conversion feature. As of December 31, 2010, the net carrying amount of this promissory note was $6,385,720 ($6,247,220 principal and conversion feature and $138,500 unamortized premium).

During 2011, 4% convertible promissory notes of $10,471,480 that were issued in 2010 and 2011 as part of total consideration paid for acquisitions were fully converted into 2,184,994 of the Company’s common shares at conversion rates of between $3.88 and $5.68 and $800,000 of cash was paid to settle the remaining principal and interest.

Outstanding at September 30, 2011

The Company issued the following 4% convertible promissory notes that were still outstanding at September 30, 2011 as part of total consideration paid for acquisitions during 2011:

•

A convertible promissory note of $1,400,000 due on December 31, 2011 that is convertible into a maximum of 412,444 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) at a fixed conversion rate of $5.58. The holder may convert the principal and interest shares of Common Stock at any time following both (i) conditional approval by the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) of the listing of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of each note and (ii) the date that the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the resale of Common Stock is declared effective by the SEC but not later than the maturity date of each note. The Company may deliver at any time prior to and including the maturity date any portion of the outstanding principal and accrued interest in a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, which is listed on the TSX and available for immediate resale pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1, contingent on such registration statement and any post-effective amendments thereto being effective at the time the Common Stock is delivered. To the extent Common Stock is part of such consideration, the conversion price at which the outstanding principal and accrued interest subject to conversion will be converted to Common Stock will be the lesser of the TSX price the day prior maturity or $5.58. The Company records this note at fair value and therefore adjusts the carrying value to fair value at each subsequent reporting period.

•

A convertible promissory note of $595,000 maturing on December 31, 2011 and a convertible promissory note of $1,560,000 maturing on December 31, 2013 with monthly cash payments of $58,447 beginning in October 2011. These notes are convertible into a maximum of 514,965 shares of Common Stock. The holder may convert the principal and interest into Common Stock at any time, but not later than the maturity date at a fixed conversion rate of $4.77 and $5.00, respectively. In addition, the Company may deliver at any time prior to and including the maturity date all the outstanding principal and accrued interest in shares of Common Stock, which is listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) and available for immediate resale pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1, contingent on such registration statement and any post-effective amendments thereto being effective at the time the Common Stock is delivered. The conversion price at which the principal and accrued interest subject to conversion will be converted to Common Stock will be the lesser of (i) the volume weighted average price for the five trading days on NASDAQ immediately prior to the date of conversion, and (ii) and the fixed conversion rate; provided, however, that

the closing price per share of Common Stock as reported on NASDAQ on the trading day immediately preceding the date of conversion is not less than $3.00 or $5.00, respectively. The Company records this note at fair value and therefore adjusts the carrying value to fair value at each subsequent reporting period.

•

Convertible promissory notes with an aggregate principal amount of $3,886,500 and have aggregate quarterly payments of $437,781 and are due at various dates between August 2012 and August 2016. The Company may deliver at any time prior to and including the maturity date all the outstanding principal and accrued interest in a combination of cash and shares of the Common Stock, which is listed on NASDAQ or the TSX and available for immediate resale pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1, contingent on such registration statement and any post-effective amendments thereto being effective at the time the Common Stock is delivered. To the extent Common Stock is part of such consideration, the conversion price at which the outstanding principal and accrued interest subject to conversion will be converted to Common Stock will be at the most recent U.S. dollar closing price of Common Stock on NASDAQ on the trading day prior to the date of conversion. These notes are convertible only at the Company’s election into a maximum of 976,626 shares of Common Stock and are not required to be accounted for at fair value in periods subsequent to their initial recording.

•

A convertible promissory note of $1,810,000 due on December 31, 2012 with monthly cash payments of $109,693 beginning in August 2011. The note may be converted by the holder at the conversion rate of $5.00 or a maximum of 362,000 shares of Common Stock at any time until the maturity date. The note was recorded at a fair value of $1,845,000 on the date of issuance and $1,810,000 was recorded as a liability and $35,000 recorded as Additional paid-in capital reflecting the convertible promissory note’s beneficial conversion feature. This note is not required to be subsequently accounted for at fair value in periods subsequent to its initial recording.

If all the above outstanding convertible promissory notes would be converted on September 30, 2011, we would issue 1,976,480 shares of Common Stock.

The Company determines the fair value of certain assets and liabilities based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, or the “exit price.” The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value and gives precedence to observable inputs in determining fair value. The following levels were established for each input:

Level 1: “Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.”

Level 2: “Include other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly in the marketplace.”

Level 3: “Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.”

The fair value of the convertible promissory notes are based primarily on a Black-Scholes pricing model. The significant management assumptions and estimates used in determining the fair value include the expected term and volatility of our common stock. The expected volatility was based on an analysis of industry peer’s historical stock price over the term of the notes as we currently do not have sufficient history of our own stock volatility, which was estimated at approximately 25%. Subsequent changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in Other expense, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Future movement in the market price of our stock could significantly change the fair value of these instruments and impact our earnings.

The convertible promissory notes that are convertible into a variable number of the Company’s shares issued during 2010 and 2011 are Level 3 financial instruments since they are not traded on an active market and there are unobservable inputs, such as expected volatility used to determine the fair value of these instruments.

In addition, during 2011, we issued an earn out that is to be settled in shares within one year from the date of acquisition or once the acquired business’s revenue achieves an agreed upon level. The number of shares that could be issued varies based on the achievement of agreed upon revenue metrics.

The following table is a reconciliation of changes in fair value of these liabilities that have been classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy:


Balance as of December 31, 2010	$	5,771,480
Issuance of convertible promissory notes		8,323,700
Net losses included in earnings		1,961,100

Balance as of March 31, 2011		16,056,280


Issuance of earn out to be settled in shares		574,000
Settlement/conversion of convertible promissory notes		(15,933,480	)
Net losses included in earnings		3,554,900

Balance as of June 30, 2011	$	4,251,700
Issuance of convertible promissory notes		2,362,900
Settlement/conversion of convertible promissory notes		(1,865,300	)
Net gains included in earnings		(749,100	)
Balance as of September 30, 2011	$	4,000,200

The amount of gains for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 included in earnings attributable to the change in gains or losses relating to liabilities still held as of September 30, 2011	$	375,300

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments, which may expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk, include cash and cash equivalents, account receivables, accounts payable, and debt. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. We have never experienced any losses related to these balances. The carrying amounts of cash and the current portion of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s debt is estimated based on the current borrowing rates available to the Company for bank loans with similar terms and maturities, and approximates the carrying value of these liabilities. In addition, certain convertible promissory notes are recorded at fair value at each reporting period date.

•

Stock options and restricted units to purchase 6,336,200 shares of common stock.

•

Convertible promissory notes that if-converted would result in 1,976,480 shares of common stock.

NOTE 13 — INCOME TAXES

As a result of the merger with CoolBrands on November 2, 2010, as discussed in Note 1 in the 2010 Annual Report, the Company converted from a corporation taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code to a tax-paying entity and accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company has recorded an estimate for income taxes based on the Company’s taxable operating results for the year ending December 31, 2011 and an effective income tax rate of 26.1%. Certain estimates, such as the Company’s projected operating results and the treatment of gains and losses on debt related fair value measurements used in calculating the effective tax rate were revised during the three months ended September 30, 2011, which resulted in the Company recording $46,384 of income tax expense and $8,176,480 of income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

In addition, during 2011, the Company reversed the valuation allowance of $2,368,000 recorded as of December 31, 2010 as a result of the Company’s expectation to utilize its deferred tax assets through the generation of future taxable income arising from deferred tax liability balances. The majority of these deferred tax liabilities were recorded as part of the acquisition of Choice on March 1, 2011 as discussed in Note 3.

NOTE 14 — SEGMENTS

On March 1, 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of Choice, a Florida based company that provides a complete range of solid waste and recycling collection, transportation, processing and disposal services. As a result of the acquisition of Choice, the Company now has

two operating segments: (1) Hygiene and (2) Waste. The Company’s hygiene operating segment primarily provides commercial hygiene services and products throughout much of the United States, and additionally operates a worldwide franchise and license system to provide the same products and services in markets where Company owned operations do not exist. The Company’s waste segment primary consists of the operations of Choice and acquisitions of solid waste collection businesses. Prior to the acquisition of Choice, the Company managed, allocated resources, and reported in one segment.

The following table presents financial information for each of the Company’s reportable segments.


	Hygiene			Waste			Consolidated
Three Months Ended September 30, 2011
Revenue	$	49,037,037		$	18,167,958		$	67,204,995

NOTE 15 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of its business. Although occasional adverse decisions (or settlements) may occur, the Company believes that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In connection with a distribution agreement entered into in December 2010, the Company provided a guarantee that the distributor’s operating cash flows associated with the agreement would not fall below certain agreed-to minimums, subject to certain pre-defined conditions, over the ten year term of the distribution agreement. If the distributor’s annual operating cash flow does fall below the agreed-to annual minimums, the Company will reimburse the distributor for any such short fall up to a pre-designated amount. No value was assigned to the fair value of the guarantee at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 based on a probability assessment of the projected cash flows. Management currently does not believe that it is probable that any amounts will be paid under this agreement and thus there is no amount accrued for the guarantee in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. This liability would be considered a Level 3 financial instrument given the unobservable inputs used in the projected cash flow model. See Note 7 for the fair value hierarchy.

NOTE 16 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to September 30, 2011, the Company acquired several businesses. While the terms, price, and conditions of each of these acquisitions were negotiated individually, consideration to the sellers typically consists of a combination of cash, our common stock, and issuance of debt. Aggregate consideration paid for these acquired businesses was approximately $12.4 million consisting of approximately $8.0 million in cash, 81,419 shares of our common stock, and issuance of promissory notes that may be converted into 1,026,875 shares of our common stock subject to certain customary restrictions, including acceptance by the Toronto Stock Exchange.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Business Overview and Outlook

We provide essential hygiene and sanitation solutions to customers throughout much of North America and internationally through our global network of company owned operations, franchises and master licensees. These solutions include essential products and services that are designed to promote superior cleanliness and sanitation in commercial environments, while enhancing the safety, satisfaction and well-being of employees and patrons. These solutions are typically delivered by employees on a regularly scheduled basis and involve providing our customers with: (i) consumable products such as soap, paper, cleaning chemicals, detergents, and supplies, together with the rental and servicing of dish machines and other equipment for the dispensing of those products; (ii) the rental of facility service items requiring regular maintenance and cleaning, such as floor mats, mops, bar towels and linens; (iii) manual cleaning of their facilities; and (iv) solid waste collection services. We serve customers in a wide range of end-markets, with a particular emphasis on the foodservice, hospitality, retail, industrial, and healthcare industries. In addition, our solid waste collection services provide services primarily to commercial and residential customers through contracts with commercial customers, municipalities, or other agencies.

Prospectively, we intend to grow in both existing and new geographic markets through a combination of organic and acquisition growth. However, we will continue to focus our investments towards those opportunities which will most benefit our core businesses, which currently are: chemical, facility services, linen rental and supply, and waste collection services. Our revenue outlook for 2011 is expected to exceed $220 million, with current annualized run-rate revenue in excess of $320 million. Run-rate revenue is defined as October 2011 estimated revenue annualized plus the annualized revenue impact of acquisitions since October 2011.

We have company owned operations and franchise operations located throughout the United States and Canada and have entered into 10 Master License Agreements covering the United Kingdom, Ireland, Portugal, the Netherlands, Singapore, the Philippines, Taiwan, Korea, Hong Kong/Macau/China, and Mexico.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles involves the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the recorded amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. As such, management is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable based on the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, the most important and pervasive accounting policies used and areas most sensitive to material changes from external factors. See Note 2 in the 2010 Annual Report for additional discussion of the application of these and other accounting policies. Any significant changes to those policies or new significant policies are described below.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, there were no changes in the methodology for computing critical accounting estimates and no material changes to the important assumptions underlying the critical accounting estimates.

Segments

On March 1, 2011, we completed our acquisition of Choice Environmental Services, Inc. (“Choice”), a Florida based company that provides a complete range of solid waste and recycling collection, transportation, processing and disposal services. As a result of the acquisition of Choice, we now have two segments (1) Hygiene and (2) Waste. The Company’s hygiene segment primarily provides commercial hygiene services and products throughout much of the United States, and additionally operates a worldwide franchise and license system to provide the same products and services in markets where Company owned operations do not exist. The Company’s waste segment primarily consists of the operations of Choice and acquisitions of solid waste collection businesses. Prior to the acquisition of Choice, the Company managed, allocated resources, and reported in one segment, Hygiene. See Note 14 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 have been presented in the Company’s segments.

Acquisition and merger expenses

Acquisition and merger expenses include costs directly-related to the acquisition of two of our franchises and twenty independent businesses during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and the acquisition of nine of our franchises and forty-five independent businesses during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Acquisition and merger expenses also include costs directly-related to the merger with CoolBrands International, Inc. (“CoolBrands”) as discussed in Note 1 of our 2010 Annual Report. These costs include third party due diligence, legal, accounting and professional service expenses.

Adoption of Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue Recognition: In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new standards for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. These new standards affect the determination of when individual deliverables included in a multiple-element arrangement may be treated as separate units of accounting. In addition, these new standards modify the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across separately identified deliverables, eliminate the use of the residual value method of allocating arrangement consideration and require expanded disclosure. These new standards will become effective for multiple-element arrangements entered into or materially modified on or after January 1, 2011. Earlier application is permitted with required transition disclosures based on the period of adoption. We adopted these standards for multiple-element arrangements entered into or materially modified on or after January 1, 2011. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Goodwill: In December 2010, the FASB issued new standards defining when step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts should be performed and modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The standards are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning December 15, 2010 and were effective for the Company on January 1, 2011. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Business Combinations: In December 2010, the FASB issued new standards that clarify that if comparative financial statements are presented the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. The update also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The standards are effective prospectively for material (either on an individual or aggregate basis) business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. We have included the required disclosures in Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — THREE MONTHS AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 AND 2010

We acquired two franchises and twenty independent businesses during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and nine franchises and forty-five independent businesses during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The term “Hygiene Acquisitions” refers to the two franchises and

twenty independent hygiene and chemical businesses acquired during the three months ended September 30, 2011 or the nine franchises and forty-two independent hygiene and chemical businesses acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The waste segment includes Choice, acquired in March 2011, and two additional acquisitions of solid waste and collection companies during the three months ended June 30, 2011. We refer to these acquisitions as “Waste Acquisitions.” The term “Acquisitions” refers to both the Hygiene Acquisitions and Waste Acquisitions during the respective periods.

Revenue

We derive our revenue through the delivery of a wide-variety of essential hygiene and sanitation products and services. We deliver hygiene products and services on a regularly scheduled basis which include providing our customers with (i) consumable products such as soap, paper, cleaning chemicals, detergents, and supplies, together with the rental and servicing of dish machines and other equipment for the dispensing of those products; (ii) the rental of facility service items requiring regular maintenance and cleaning, such as floor mats, mops, bar towels, and linens; (iii) manual cleaning of their facilities; and (iv) solid waste collection and recycling services. We serve customers in a wide range of end-markets, with a particular emphasis on the foodservice, hospitality, retail, industrial, and healthcare industries. Our waste segment provides services primarily to commercial and residential customers through contracts with commercial customers, municipalities, or other agencies.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 AND 2010

Total revenue and the revenue derived from each revenue type by segment for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:


	2011		% of Total Revenue			2010		% of Total Revenue
Revenue
Hygiene products and services
Chemical	$	27,919,241		41.6	%	$	4,728,506		29.4	%
Chemical wholesale		6,218,107		9.3			—		—
Hygiene services		6,884,109		10.2			4,341,867		27.0
Paper and supplies		4,362,765		6.5			3,135,244		19.5
Rental and other		3,219,232		4.8			1,716,517		10.7

Total hygiene product and services		48,603,454		72.4			13,922,134		86.7
Waste
Services		16,463,248		24.5			—		—
Products		1,704,710		2.5			—		—

Total products and service		66,771,412		99.4			13,922,134		86.7
Hygiene franchise		433,583		0.6			2,138,945		13.3

Total revenue	$	67,204,995		100.0	%	$	16,061,079		100.0	%

Consolidated revenue increased $51,143,916 or 318% to $67,204,995 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010. This increase includes $18,167,958 related to Waste Acquisitions and an increase of $30,219,484 from Hygiene Acquisitions, which is offset by a $1,837,000 loss in franchise revenue earned during the three months ended September 30, 2011 related to Hygiene Acquisitions. Excluding the impact of Acquisitions, consolidated revenue increased $4,593,474 or 28.6% to $20,654,553 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Hygiene products and services revenue increased $34,681,320 or 249% during the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010. This increase includes $30,219,484 related to Hygiene Acquisitions. Excluding the impact from Hygiene Acquisitions, hygiene products and services revenue increased $4,461,836 or 32.0% to $18,383,970.

Since 2010, our overall revenue mix has shifted towards our core chemical product and service revenue from our legacy hygiene business. Factors that contribute to this trend include: (i) our acquisition efforts have been heavily focused at chemical product and service companies as we have rounded out our North American operating footprint; (ii) we have placed particular emphasis on the development of our core markets including our chemical offering, particularly as it relates to ware washing and laundry solutions and a lesser focus on our legacy hygiene service offerings; and (iii) we continue to aggressively managed customer profitability terminating less favorable arrangements.

Hygiene franchise revenue decreased $1,705,362 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010, which includes a decrease of $1,837,000 from the acquisition of our franchises during the period. Reacquiring certain of our franchisees during the period result in less hygiene franchise revenue, which is offset by an increase in hygiene product and service revenue from the remaining franchises and international licenses. Excluding the impact from Hygiene Acquisitions, hygiene franchise revenue increased $131,638 or 6.1% primary due to additional product revenue under our Master License Agreements during the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in the 2010.

Cost of Sales

Hygiene cost of sales consists primarily of paper, air freshener, chemical and other consumable products sold to our customers, franchisees and international licensees. Waste costs of sales include costs related to the disposal of collections and cost of recycled paper purchases. Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:


	2011		%(1)			2010		%(1)
Hygiene
Company owned operations	$	16,189,230		38.2	%	$	4,772,207		34.3	%
Chemical wholesale		4,116,118		66.2			—		—
Franchisee product sales		187,288		90.9			1,335,479		93.0
Waste		5,325,188		29.3			—		—

Total cost of sales	$	25,817,824		38.4	%	$	6,107,686		43.9	%

(1)	Represents cost as a percentage of the respective segment’s product and service line revenue.

Consolidated cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased $19,710,138 or 323% to $25,817,824 as compared to the same period in 2010. This increase includes $5,325,188 related to Waste Acquisitions and $13,392,230 from Hygiene Acquisitions in the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same period of 2010. Included in the increase from Hygiene Acquisitions is $4,116,118 of cost of sales related to chemical wholesale revenue. Excluding the impact from Acquisitions, consolidated cost of sales increased $992,720 or 16.2% to $7,100,406 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010.

Hygiene company owned operations cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased $11,417,023 or 239% to $16,189,230 as compared to the same period in 2010 and includes $9,276,112 related to Hygiene Acquisitions. Excluding the impact of Hygiene Acquisitions, cost of sales for company owned operations increased $2,140,911 or 44.8% to $6,913,118, or 37.6% of related revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to 34.3% for the same period in 2010. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the increase of $2,140,911 consisted of an increase of $546,860 or 11.5% related to the change in our revenue mix as our revenue mix has shifted toward higher cost chemical product revenue, an increase of $1,317,942 or 27.7% due to the current periods higher product revenue volume, and a $276,109 or 5.8% increase resulting from increased cost of products.

Hygiene cost of sales to franchisees for the three months ended September 30, 2011 decreased $1,148,191 or 86.0% to $187,288 as compared to the same period in 2010, which includes a decrease of $1,213,628 from the acquisition of our franchises during the period. We charge franchises a percentage of our costs, and, therefore, we earn a lower margin on product revenue to franchises. Excluding the impact of Hygiene Acquisitions, cost of goods sold increased $65,437 during the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010.

Route Expenses

Route expenses consist primarily of the costs incurred by the Company for the delivery of products and providing services to customers. The details of route expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:


	2011		%(1)			2010		%(1)
Hygiene

Since 2010, our overall revenue mix has continued to shift towards our core chemical product and service revenue from our legacy hygiene business. Factors have contributed to this trend include: (i) our acquisition efforts have been heavily focused at chemical product and service companies as we have rounded out our North American operating footprint: (ii) we have placed particular emphasis on the development of our core markets including our chemical offering, particularly as it relates to ware washing and laundry solutions and a lesser focus on our legacy hygiene service offerings; and (iii) we continue to aggressively managed customer profitability terminating less favorable arrangements.

Hygiene franchise revenue decreased $3,482,654 or 53.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same periods in 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We fund the development and growth of our business with cash generated from operations, shareholder advances, bank credit facilities, the sale of equity, third party financing for acquisitions, and capital leases for equipment.

Revolving credit facilities

In March 2011, we entered into a $100 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “credit facility”). Borrowings under the credit facility are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our existing and hereafter acquired assets, including $25 million of cash on borrowings in excess of $75 million. Furthermore, borrowings under the facility are guaranteed by all of our domestic subsidiaries and secured by substantially all the assets and stock of our domestic subsidiaries and substantially all of the stock of our foreign subsidiaries. Interest on borrowings under the credit facility will typically accrue at London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.5% to 4.0%, depending on the ratio of senior debt to (“Adjusted EBITDA”) (as such term is defined in the credit facility, which includes specified adjustments and allowances authorized by the lender). For the three months ended September 30, 2011, interest accrued based on LIBOR plus 2.5%. We also have the option to request swingline loans and borrowings using a base rate. Interest is payable monthly or quarterly on all outstanding borrowings. The credit facility matures in July 2013.

Borrowings and availability under the credit facility are subject to compliance with financial covenants, including achieving specified consolidated Adjusted EBITDA levels and maintaining leverage and coverage ratios and a minimum liquidity requirement. The consolidated Adjusted EBITDA covenant, the leverage and coverage ratios, and the minimum liquidity requirements should not be considered indicative of our expectations regarding future performance. The credit facility also places restrictions on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, make certain acquisitions, create liens or other encumbrances, sell or otherwise dispose of assets, and merge or consolidate with other entities or enter into a change of control transaction. In August 2011, we entered into an amendment that modified the covenants, including an increase in permitted indebtedness to $40.0 million. Failure to achieve or maintain the financial covenants in the credit facility or failure to comply with one or more of the operational covenants could adversely affect our ability to borrow monies and could result in a default under the credit facility. The credit facility is subject to other standard default provisions. We were in compliance with such covenants as of September 30, 2011.

The credit facility replaces our prior $25 million aggregated credit facilities, which are discussed in the 2010 Annual Report.

In August 2011, the Company entered into an agreement, which provides financing up to $16.4 million for new and used trucks, carts, compactors, and containers for our Waste segment. The financing will consist of one or more fixed rate loans that have a term of five years. The interest rate for borrowings under this facility will be determined at the time of each such borrowing and will be based on a spread over the five year U.S. swap rate. The commitment letter expires in February 2012 with a renewal option of six months, if approved. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, borrowings of $8.9 million were made at an average interest rate of 3.55%.

Separately in August 2011, we entered into an agreement to finance new and replacement vehicles for its fleet that allows for one or more fixed rate loans totaling in the aggregate, no more than $18.6 million. The commitment, which expires in June 2012, is secured by Waste segment’s vehicles and containers. The interest rate for borrowings under this facility will be determined at the time of the loan and will be based on a spread above the U.S swap rate for the applicable term, either four or five years. Borrowings under this loan commitment are subject to the same financial convents as the above credit facility. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, borrowings of $5.3 million were made at an average interest rate of 4.47%.

In addition, in August 2011, we obtained an additional line of credit of $25 million for new and replacement vehicles for its fleet and obtained a commitment letter to finance information technology and related equipment not to exceed $2.5 million. The interest rate and term for each fixed rate loan will be determined at the time of each such borrowing and will be based on a spread over the U.S. swap rate for the applicable term. The commitment expires in August 2014. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we have not made any borrowings under these agreements.

Private Placements

On March 1, 2011, we closed the acquisition of Choice and issued 8,281,920 shares of our common stock to the former shareholders of Choice for which we received cash of $56,253,791, net of issuance costs and assumed $40,941,484 of debt, of which $39,219,160 was paid down with proceeds from the private placement of the Subscription Receipts.

In connection with the closing of acquisition of Choice, the 12,262,500 Subscription Receipts were exchanged for 12,262,500 shares of our common stock. We agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file a resale registration statement with the SEC relating to the shares of common stock underlying the Subscription Receipts. If the registration statement was not filed or declared effective within specified time periods, or if the registration statement had ceased to be effective for a period of time exceeding certain grace periods between the date such shares of common stock were issued and November 10, 2011, the initial subscribers of Subscription Receipts would have been entitled to receive an additional 0.1 share of common stock for each share of common stock underlying Subscription Receipts held by any such initial subscriber at the time such grace period lapsed. The Company filed a resale registration statement with the SEC relating to the 8,281,920 shares issued to the former shareholders of Choice and the 12,262,500 shares issued in connection with the private placement. The registration statement was effective as of the date of this filing.

On March 22, 2011, we entered into a series of arm’s length securities purchase agreements to sell 12,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $5.00 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $60,000,000 to certain funds of a global financial institution (the “Private Placement”). We intend to use the proceeds from the Private Placement to further our organic and acquisition growth strategy, as well as for working capital purposes.

On March 23, 2011, we closed the Private Placement and issued 12,000,000 shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreements, the shares of common stock issued in the Private Placement may not be transferred on or before June 24, 2011 without our consent. We agreed to use our commercially reasonable efforts to file a resale registration statement with the SEC relating to the shares of common stock sold in the Private Placement. If the registration statement was not filed or declared effective within specified time periods the investors would have been, or if the registration statement ceases to remain effective for a period of time exceeding certain grace periods, the investors will be entitled to receive liquidated damages in cash equal to one percent of the original offering price for each share purchased in the private placement that at such time cannot be sold by the investor as a result of the registration statement not being effective. The Company filed a resale registration statement with the SEC relating to the 12,000,000 shares issued in the private placement. The registration statement was effective as of the date of this filing.

On April 15, 2011, we entered into a series of arm’s length securities purchase agreements to sell 9,857,143 shares of our common stock at a price of $7.70 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $75,900,000 to certain funds of a global financial institution. We completed this transaction on April 19, 2011 and we intend to use the proceeds from this transaction to further our organic and acquisition growth strategy, as well as for working capital purposes. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreements, we agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file, after July 24, 2011, a resale registration statement with the SEC relating to the shares of common stock sold in the private placement. If the registration statement was not filed or declared effective within the specified time periods the investors would have been, or if the registration statement ceases to remain effective for a period of time exceeding certain grace periods, the investors will be, entitled to receive liquidated damages in cash equal to one percent of the original offering price for each share purchased in the private placement that at such time cannot be sold by the investor as a result of the registration statement not being effective. The Company filed a resale registration statement with the SEC relating to the 9,857,143 shares. The registration statement was effective as of the date of this filing.

Acquisitions

During the three month period ended September 30, 2011, we paid cash of $27.9 million for acquisitions. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, we paid cash of $95.3 million for acquisitions, which $7.2 million was for the acquisition of Choice. In addition subsequent to September 30, 2011, we acquired several businesses. While the terms, price, and conditions of each of these acquisitions were negotiated individually, consideration to the sellers typically consists of a combination of cash, our common stock, and debt issued. Aggregate consideration paid for these acquired businesses was approximately $12.4 million consisting of approximately $8.0 million in cash, 81,419 shares of our common stock, and issuance of promissory notes that may be converted into 1,026,875 shares of our common stock subject to certain customary restrictions, including acceptance by the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Cash Requirements

Our cash requirements for the next twelve months consist primarily of: (i) capital expenditures associated with dispensing equipment, dish machines and other items in service at customer locations, equipment, vehicles, and software; (ii) financing for acquisitions; (iii) working capital; and (iv) payment of principal and interest on borrowings under our credit facility, equipment financing borrowings, debt obligations and convertible promissory notes issued or assumed in connection with acquisitions, and other notes payable for equipment and software.

As a result of the Private Placements discussed above our cash and cash equivalents increased by $192,153,791 and were $83,785,303 at September 30, 2011. We expect that our cash on hand and the cash flow provided by operating activities will be sufficient to fund working capital, general corporate needs and planned capital expenditure for the next twelve months. However, there is no assurance that these sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our internal growth initiatives or the investments and acquisition activities that we may wish to pursue. If we pursue significant internal growth initiatives or if we wish to acquire additional businesses in transactions that include cash payments as part of the purchase price, we may pursue additional debt or equity sources to finance such transactions and activities, depending on market conditions.

Income Taxes

As a result of the merger with CoolBrands in November 2010, as discussed in Note 1 in the in the 2010 Annual Report, the Company converted from a corporation taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code to a tax-paying entity and accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Therefore, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company has recorded an estimate for income taxes based on the Company’s taxable operating results for the year ending December 31, 2011 and an effective income tax rate of 26.1%. Certain estimates, such as the Company’s projected operating results and the treatment of gains and losses on debt related fair value measurements used in calculating the effective tax rate were revised during the three months ended September 30, 2011, which resulted in the Company recording $46,384 of income tax expense and $8,176,480 of income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.The amount of income tax expense or benefit to be recorded in future periods is based on our estimate of the full year’s net income, which we cannot predict with certainty.

Litigation and Other Contingencies

We are subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of our business. Although occasional adverse decisions (or settlements) may occur, we believe that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than operating leases, there are no off-balance sheet financing arrangements or relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, which are often referred to as “special purpose entities.” Therefore, there is no exposure to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise, had we engaged in such relationships.

In connection with a distribution agreement entered into in December 2010, we provided a guarantee that the distributor’s operating cash flows associated with the agreement would not fall below certain agreed-to minimums, subject to certain pre-defined conditions, over the ten year term of the distribution agreement. If the distributor’s annual operating cash flow does fall below the agreed-to annual minimums, we will reimburse the distributor for any such short fall up to a pre-designated amount. No value was assigned to the fair value of the guarantee at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 based on a probability assessment of the projected cash flows. Management currently does not believe that it is probable that any amounts will be paid under this agreement and thus there is no amount accrued for the guarantee in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Adjusted EBITDA

In addition to net income determined in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures, such as “Adjusted EBITDA”, in assessing our operating performance. We believe the non-GAAP measure serves as an appropriate measure to be used in evaluating the performance of our business. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss excluding the impact of income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense and income, foreign currency gain, net gain/loss on debt related fair value measurements, stock based compensation, and third party costs directly related to merger and acquisitions. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of our results. Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure frequently in our decision-making because it provides supplemental information that facilitates internal comparisons to the historical operating performance of prior periods and gives a better indication of our core operating performance. We include this non-GAAP financial measure in our earnings announcement and guidance in order to provide transparency to our investors and enable investors to better compare our operating performance with the operating performance of our competitors. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, and is not intended to represent an alternative measure of, operating results or of cash flows from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Under SEC rules, we are required to provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Accordingly, the following is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to our net losses for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:


	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011			2010			2011			2010
Net loss	$	(3,756,534	)	$	(4,135,080	)	$	(14,098,271	)	$	(7,500,159	)

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects, and the prevailing market price and performance of our common stock, may be adversely affected by a number of factors, including the matters discussed below. Certain statements and information set forth in this Form 10-Q, as well as other written or oral statements made from time to time by us or by our authorized executive officers on our behalf, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We intend for our forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and we set forth this statement and these risk factors in order to comply with such safe harbor provisions. You should note that our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q or when made and we undertake no duty or obligation to update or revise our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by applicable law. Although we believe that the expectations, plans, intentions and projections reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. The risks, uncertainties and other factors that our stockholders and prospective investors should consider include the following:

•

We have a history of significant operating losses and as such our future revenue and operating profitability are uncertain;

•

We may be harmed if we do not penetrate markets and grow our current business operations;

•

We may require additional capital in the future and no assurance can be given that such capital will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all;

•

Failure to attract, train, and retain personnel to manage our growth could adversely impact our operating results;

•

We may not be able to properly integrate the operations of acquired businesses and achieve anticipated benefits of cost savings or revenue enhancements;

•

We may incur unexpected costs, expenses, or liabilities relating to undisclosed liabilities of our acquired businesses;

•

We may recognize impairment charges which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition;

•

Goodwill resulting from acquisitions may adversely affect our results of operations;

•

Future issuances of our common stock in connection with acquisitions could have a dilutive effect on your investment;

•

Future sales of Swisher Hygiene shares by our stockholders could affect the market price of our shares;

•

Our business and growth strategy depends in large part on the success of our franchisees and international licensees, and our brand reputation may be harmed by actions out of our control that are taken by franchisees and international licensees;

•

Failure to retain our current customers and renew existing customer contracts could adversely affect our business;

•

The pricing, terms, and length of customer service agreements may constrain our ability to recover costs and to make a profit on our contracts;

•

Changes in economic conditions that impact the industries in which our end-users primarily operate in could adversely affect our business;

•

Our solid waste collection operations are geographically concentrated and are therefore subject to regional economic downturns and other regional factors;

•

If we are required to change the pricing models for our products or services to compete successfully, our margins and operating results may be adversely affected;

•

Several members of our senior management team are critical to our business and if these individuals do not remain with us in the future, it could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations;

•

The financial condition and operating ability of third parties may adversely affect our business;

•

The volatility of our raw material costs may adversely affect our operations;

•

Increases in fuel and energy costs could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition;

•

Our products contain hazardous materials and chemicals, which could result in claims against us;

•

We are subject to environmental, health and safety regulations, and may be adversely affected by new and changing laws and regulations, that generate ongoing environmental costs and could subject us to liability;

•

Future changes in laws or renewed enforcement of laws regulating the flow of solid waste in interstate commerce could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition;

•

If our products are improperly manufactured, packaged, or labeled or become adulterated, those items may need to be recalled;

•

Changes in the types or variety of our service offerings could affect our financial performance;

•

We may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights that are material to our business;

•

If we are unable to protect our information and telecommunication systems against disruptions or failures, our operations could be disrupted;

•

Insurance policies may not cover all operating risks and a casualty loss beyond the limits of our coverage could adversely impact our business;

•

Our current size and growth strategy could cause our revenue and operating results to fluctuate more than some of our larger, more established competitors or other public companies;

•

Certain stockholders may exert significant influence over corporate action requiring stockholder approval; and

•

Provisions of Delaware law and our organizational documents may delay or prevent an acquisition of our company, even if the acquisition would be beneficial to our stockholders.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risks, including changes in interest rates and fuel prices. We do not use financial instruments for speculative trading purposes and we do not hold derivative financial instruments that could expose us to significant market risk. We do not currently have any contract with vendors where we have exposure to the underlying commodity prices. In such event, we would consider implementing price increases and pursue cost reduction initiatives; however, we may not be able to pass on these increases in whole or in part to our customers or realize costs savings needed to offset these increases. The following discussion does not consider the effects that an adverse change may have on the overall economy, and it also does not consider actions we may take to mitigate our expose to these changes. We cannot guarantee that the action we take to mitigate these exposures will be successful.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of September 30, 2011. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2011.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

We may be involved in litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty and we cannot assure you that the ultimate resolution of any legal or administrative proceedings or disputes will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as updated in Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or future results.

The issuance of the securities described in paragraphs (a) through (k) above were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act afforded by Section 4(2) thereof and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, which exception Swisher Hygiene believes is available because the securities were not offered pursuant to a general solicitation and such issuances were otherwise made in compliance with the requirements of Regulation D and Rule 506. The securities issued in these transactions are restricted and may not be resold except pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act or pursuant to a valid exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

NOTE 1 — BUSINESS DESCRIPTION Principal Operations Swisher Hygiene Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company” or “we” or “our”) provide essential hygiene and sanitation solutions to customers throughout much of North America and internationally through its global network of company owned operations, franchises and master licensees. These solutions include essential products and services that are designed to promote superior cleanliness and sanitation in commercial environments, while enhancing the safety, satisfaction and well-being of employees and patrons. These solutions are typically delivered by employees on a regularly scheduled basis and involve providing our customers with: (i) consumable products such as soap, paper, cleaning chemicals, detergents, and supplies, together with the rental and servicing of dish machines and other equipment for the dispensing of those products; (ii) the rental of facility service items requiring regular maintenance and cleaning, such as floor mats, mops, bar towels and linens; (iii) manual cleaning of their facilities; and (iv) solid waste collection services. We serve customers in a wide range of end-markets, with a particular emphasis on the foodservice, hospitality, retail, industrial, and healthcare industries. In addition, our solid waste collection services provide services primarily to commercial and residential customers through contracts with municipalities or other agencies. The Company has company owned operations and franchise operations located throughout the United States and Canada and has entered into 10 Master License Agreements covering the United Kingdom, Ireland, Portugal, the Netherlands, Singapore, the Philippines, Taiwan, Korea, Hong Kong/Macau/China, and Mexico.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and therefore do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP and the SEC for annual financial statements. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that management believes are necessary for the fair presentation of their financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. The information at December 31, 2010 in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets included in this quarterly report was derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011. The Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, together with the information included in such report, is referred to in this quarterly report as the “2010 Annual Report.” This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the 2010 Annual Report. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain adjustments have been made to conform prior periods to the current year presentation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could affect the results of operations reported in future periods. The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2010 Annual Report. Any significant changes to those policies or new significant policies are described below. Acquisition and merger expenses Acquisition and merger expenses include costs directly related to the acquisition of two of our franchises and twenty independent businesses during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and the acquisition of nine of our franchises and forty-five independent businesses during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Acquisition and merger expenses also include costs directly-related to the merger with CoolBrands International, Inc. (“CoolBrands”) as discussed in Note 1 of our 2010 Annual Report. These costs include third party due diligence, legal, accounting, and professional service expenses.   Segments On March 1, 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of Choice Environmental Services, Inc. (“Choice”), a Florida based company that provides a complete range of solid waste and recycling collection, transportation, processing and disposal services. As a result of the acquisition of Choice, the Company now has two segments: (1) Hygiene and (2) Waste. The Company’s hygiene segment primarily provides commercial hygiene services and products throughout much of the United States, and additionally operates a worldwide franchise and license system to provide the same products and services in markets where Company owned operations do not exist. The Company’s waste segment primarily consists of the operations of Choice and acquisitions of solid waste collection businesses. Prior to the acquisition of Choice, the Company managed, allocated resources, and reported in one segment, Hygiene. See Note 14 for segment disclosures. Adoption of Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements Revenue Recognition: In October 2009, the FASB issued new standards for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. These new standards affect the determination of when individual deliverables included in a multiple-element arrangement may be treated as separate units of accounting. In addition, these new standards modify the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across separately identified deliverables, eliminate the use of the residual value method of allocating arrangement consideration and require expanded disclosure. These new standards became effective for multiple-element arrangements entered into or materially modified on or after January 1, 2011. Earlier application was permitted with required transition disclosures based on the period of adoption. We adopted these standards for multiple-element arrangements entered into or materially modified on or after January 1, 2011. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Goodwill: In December 2010, the FASB issued new standards defining when step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts should be performed and modifies step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts an entity is required to perform step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The standards are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010 and were effective for the Company on January 1, 2011. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Business Combinations: In December 2010, the FASB issued new standards that clarify that if comparative financial statements are presented the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. The update also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The standards are effective prospectively for material (either on an individual or aggregate basis) business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company has included the required disclosures in Note 3. Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements Goodwill: In September 2011, the FASB issued new standards that allow an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform the first step of the two-step impairment test by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing the fair value with the carrying value of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the entity is required to perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. In addition an entity has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. An entity may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. These standards are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of these standards on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Comprehensive Income: In June 2011, the FASB issued new standards to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. This standard eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. These standards are to be applied retrospectively and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of these standards on our Consolidated Financial Statements.   Fair Value Measurements: In May 2011, the FASB issued new standards clarifying the wording used to describe the requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements and expands fair value disclosures. These standards are to be applied prospectively and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of these standards on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 3 — ACQUISITIONS Choice Acquisition On February 13, 2011, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Choice Agreement”) with Swsh Merger Sub, Inc., a Florida corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Choice, and other parties, as set forth in the Choice Agreement. The Choice Agreement provided for the acquisition of Choice by the Company by way of merger. In connection with the merger with Choice, on February 23, 2011, we entered into an agency agreement, which the agents agreed to market, on a best efforts basis 12,262,500 subscription receipts (“Subscription Receipts”) at a price of $4.80 per Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of up to $58,859,594. Each Subscription Receipt entitled the holder to acquire one share of our common stock, without payment of any additional consideration, upon completion of our acquisition of Choice. On March 1, 2011, we closed the acquisition of Choice and issued 8,281,920 shares of our common stock to the former shareholders of Choice and assumed $40,941,484 of debt, which $39,219,160 was paid down with proceeds from the private placement of the Subscription Receipts. In addition, certain shareholders of Choice received $5,700,000 in cash and warrants to purchase an additional 918,076 shares at an exercise price of $6.21, which expired on March 31, 2011 and were not exercised. On March 1, 2011, in connection with the closing of the acquisition of Choice, the 12,262,500 Subscription Receipts were exchanged for 12,262,500 shares of our common stock. We agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file a resale registration statement with the SEC relating to the shares of common stock underlying the Subscription Receipts. If the registration statement was not filed or declared effective within specified time periods, or if the registration statement had ceased to be effective for a period of time exceeding certain grace periods, between the date such shares of common stock were issued and November 10, 2011, the initial subscribers of Subscription Receipts would have been entitled to receive an additional 0.1 share of common stock for each share of common stock underlying Subscription Receipts held by any such initial subscriber at the time such grace period lapsed. The Company filed a resale registration statement with the SEC relating to the 8,291,920 shares issued to the former shareholders of Choice and the 12,262,500 shares issued in connection with the private placement. The registration statement was effective as of the date of this filing. Choice has been in business since 2004 and serves more than 150,000 residential and 7,500 commercial customers in the Southern and Central Florida regions through its 320 employees and over 150 collection vehicles by offering a complete range of solid waste and recycling collection, transportation, processing and disposal services. Choice operates nine hauling operations and three transfer and material recovery facilities. The following table presents the purchase price consideration as of March 1, 2011:   <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="68%" border="0" style="border-collapse:collapse; text-align: left" align="center">  <tr> <td width="83%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="6%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr>   <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> Consideration: </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Issuance of shares at stock price of $5.89 </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">48,780,526</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> Debt </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">40,941,484</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Cash paid </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">7,553,784</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr style="font-size:1px"> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">97,275,794</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr style="font-size:1px"> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td> </td> </tr>  </table> The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is based on the best information available to management. This allocation is provisional, as the Company is required to recognize additional assets or liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of March 1, 2011 that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets or liabilities as of that date. The Company may adjust the preliminary purchase price allocation after obtaining additional information regarding asset valuation, liabilities assumed and revisions of previous estimates.

</table>   Hygiene Segment The fair value of the customer relationships and contracts acquired is based on future discounted cash flows expected to be generated from those customers. These customer relationships and contracts will be amortized on a straight-line basis over five to ten years, which is primarily based on historical customer attrition rates. The fair value of the non-compete agreements will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the length of the agreements, typically not exceeding five years. Waste Segment The fair value of the customer relationships and contracts acquired is based on future discounted cash flows expected to be generated from contracts with municipalities and customers. These customer relationships and contracts will be amortized on a straight-line basis over seven years, which is the weighted average of the estimated life of the contracts acquired. The fair value of the non-compete agreements will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the length of the agreements, typically not exceeding five years.

NOTE 5 — EQUITY Choice As part of the purchase price of Choice we issued 8,281,920 shares of our common stock to the previous shareholders of Choice. See Note 3. Private placements As discussed in Note 3, on March 1, 2011, in connection with the closing of the Choice acquisition, the 12,262,500 Subscription Receipts were exchanged for 12,262,500 shares of our common stock. As part of this transaction, we received cash of $56,253,791, net of issuance costs. In addition, on March 22, 2011, we entered into a series of arm’s length securities purchase agreements to sell 12,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $5.00 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $60,000,000 to certain funds of a global financial institution (the “Private Placement”). We intend to use the proceeds from the Private Placement to further our organic and acquisition growth strategy, as well as for working capital purposes. On March 23, 2011, we closed the Private Placement and issued 12,000,000 shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreements, the shares of common stock issued in the Private Placement may not be transferred on or before June 24, 2011, without our consent. We agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file a resale registration statement with the SEC relating to the shares of common stock sold in the Private Placement. If the registration statement was not filed or declared effective within specified time periods the investors would have been, or if the registration statement ceases to remain effective for a period of time exceeding certain grace periods, the investors will be entitled to receive liquidated damages in cash equal to one percent of the original offering price for each share purchased in the private placement that at such time cannot be sold by the investor as a result of the registration statement not being effective. The Company filed a resale registration statement with the SEC relating to the 12,000,000 shares issued in the Private Placement. The registration statement was effective as of the date of this filing. On April 15, 2011, we entered into a series of arm’s length securities purchase agreements to sell 9,857,143 shares of our common stock at a price of $7.70 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $75,900,000 to certain funds of a global financial institution. We completed this transaction on April 19, 2011 and intend to use the proceeds from this transaction to further our organic and acquisition growth strategy, as well as for working capital purposes. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreements, the Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file, after July 24, 2011 a resale registration statement with the SEC relating to the shares of common stock sold in the private placement. If the registration statement was not filed or declared effective within the specified time periods the investors would have been, or if the registration statement ceases to remain effective for a period of time exceeding certain grace periods, the investors will be, entitled to receive liquidated damages in cash equal to one percent of the original offering price for each share purchased in the private placement that at such time cannot be sold by the investor as a result of the registration statement not being effective. The Company filed a resale registration statement with the SEC relating to the 9,857,143 shares. The registration statement was effective as of the date of this filing. Acquisitions and asset purchases We issued a total of 7,359,435 shares of our common stock in connection with certain acquisitions of franchisees and businesses during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we issued 360,782 shares for purchases of property and equipment of $194,648 and to settle $987,879 of liabilities. Stock based compensation and warrants Stock based compensation is the result of the recognition of the fair value of share based compensation on the date of grant over the service period for which the awards are expected to vest. Options to purchase 705,000 shares were exercised at a weighted average exercise price of $0.88 during 2011. In May 2011, warrants to purchase 5,500,000 shares with an exercise price of $0.50 in Canadian dollars per warrant issued to a director of CoolBrands and the Company, and certain parties related to the director, were exercised and as a result, we received cash of $2,750,000 in Canadian dollars.   Convertible promissory note During 2011, convertible promissory notes were converted into 3,497,858 shares of the Company’s common stock. See Note 6.

</td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td> </td> </tr>  </table> Revolving Credit Facilities In March 2011, we entered into a $100 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “credit facility”). Borrowings under the credit facility are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our existing and hereafter acquired assets, including $25 million of cash on borrowings in excess of $75 million. Furthermore, borrowings under the facility are guaranteed by all of our domestic subsidiaries and secured by substantially all the assets and stock of our domestic subsidiaries and substantially all of the stock of our foreign subsidiaries. Interest on borrowings under the credit facility will typically accrue at London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.5% to 4.0%, depending on the ratio of senior debt to (“Adjusted EBITDA”) (as such term is defined in the credit facility, which includes specified adjustments and allowances authorized by the lender). For the three months ended September 30, 2011 interest accrued based on LIBOR plus 2.5%. We also have the option to request swingline loans and borrowings using a base rate. Interest is payable monthly or quarterly on all outstanding borrowings. The credit facility matures in July 2013. Borrowings and availability under the credit facility are subject to compliance with financial covenants, including achieving specified consolidated Adjusted EBITDA levels and maintaining leverage and coverage ratios and a minimum liquidity requirement. The consolidated EBITDA covenant, the leverage and coverage ratios, and the minimum liquidity requirements should not be considered indicative of the Company’s expectations regarding future performance. The credit facility also places restrictions on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, make certain acquisitions, create liens or other encumbrances, sell or otherwise dispose of assets, and merge or consolidate with other entities or enter into a change of control transaction. In August 2011, the Company entered into an amendment that modifies the covenants, including an increase in permitted indebtedness to $40.0 million. Failure to achieve or maintain the financial covenants in the credit facility or failure to comply with one or more of the operational covenants could adversely affect our ability to borrow monies and could result in a default under the credit facility. The credit facility is subject to other standard default provisions. We have met all the required covenants under the credit facility as of September 30, 2011. The credit facility replaces our prior $25 million aggregated credit facilities, which are discussed in the 2010 Annual Report. In August 2011, the Company entered into an agreement, which provides financing up to $16.4 million for new and used trucks, carts, compactors, and containers for our Waste segment. The financing will consist of one or more fixed rate loans that have a term of five years. The interest rate for borrowings under this facility will be determined at the time each such borrowing and will be based on a spread over the five year U.S. swap rate. The commitment letter expires in February 2012 with a renewal option of six months, if approved. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, borrowings of $8.9 million were made at and average interest rate of 3.55%.   Separately in August 2011, the Company entered into an agreement to finance new and replacement vehicles for its fleet that allows for one or more fixed rate loans totaling in the aggregate, no more than $18.6 million. The commitment, which expires in June 2012, is secured by Waste segment’s vehicles and containers. The interest rate for borrowings under this facility will be determined at the time of each such borrowing and will be based on a spread above the U.S swap rate for the applicable term, either four or five years. Borrowings under this loan commitment are subject to the same financial convents as the above credit facility. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, borrowings of $5.3 million were made at an average interest rate of 4.47%. In addition, in August 2011, the Company obtained an additional line of credit of $25 million for new and replacement vehicles for its fleet and obtained a commitment letter to finance information technology and related equipment not to exceed $2.5 million. The interest rate and term for each fixed rate loan will be determined at the time of each such borrowing and will be based on a spread over the U.S. swap rate for the applicable term. The commitment expires in August 2014. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company has not made any borrowings under these agreements. Choice debt assumed and capital lease obligations with related parties In connection with the acquisition of Choice, we assumed $40,941,484 of debt of which $39,219,160 was paid off at the time of the acquisition. The remaining debt was recorded at fair value on the date of the acquisition and included in acquisition notes payable above. Payments are made monthly and mature at various dates through August 2018. In addition, in connection with the acquisition of Choice we entered into capital leases that have initial terms of five or ten years with companies owned by shareholders of Choice to finance the cost of leasing office buildings and properties, including warehouses. Minimum payments under these capital leases for the next five years are $534,000 each year and $1,920,000 thereafter. We also recorded the fair value of $3,074,000 for these properties leased in property and equipment, which will be depreciated over the term of the respective lease. Convertible notes Conversions during 2011 In February 2011, a 6% convertible promissory note of $5,000,000 due on September 30, 2011 issued as part of total consideration paid for an acquisition was fully converted into 1,312,864 of the Company’s common shares. Since the convertible note was issued as part of a business combination, the note was recorded at fair value of $6,429,720 on the date of issuance including $5,182,500 recorded as a current liability and $1,247,220 recorded as Additional paid-in capital reflecting the promissory note’s beneficial conversion feature. As of December 31, 2010, the net carrying amount of this promissory note was $6,385,720 ($6,247,220 principal and conversion feature and $138,500 unamortized premium). During 2011, 4% convertible promissory notes of $10,471,480 that were issued in 2010 and 2011 as part of total consideration paid for acquisitions were fully converted into 2,184,994 of the Company’s common shares at conversion rates of between $3.88 and $5.68 and $800,000 of cash was paid to settle the remaining principal and interest. Outstanding at September 30, 2011 The Company issued the following 4% convertible promissory notes that were still outstanding at September 30, 2011 as part of total consideration paid for acquisitions during 2011:   <table style="border-collapse:collapse; text-align: left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="5%"> </td> <td width="2%" valign="top" align="left">•</td> <td width="1%" valign="top"> </td> <td align="left" valign="top"> A convertible promissory note of $1,400,000 due on December 31, 2011 that is convertible into a maximum of 412,444 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) at a fixed conversion rate of $5.58.

NOTE 7 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company determines the fair value of certain assets and liabilities based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, or the “exit price.” The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value and gives precedence to observable inputs in determining fair value. The following levels were established for each input: Level 1: “Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.” Level 2: “Include other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly in the marketplace.” Level 3: “Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.” The fair value of the convertible promissory notes are based primarily on a Black-Scholes pricing model. The significant management assumptions and estimates used in determining the fair value include the expected term and volatility of our common stock. The expected volatility was based on an analysis of industry peer’s historical stock price over the term of the notes as we currently do not have sufficient history of our own stock volatility, which was estimated at approximately 25%. Subsequent changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in Other expense, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Future movement in the market price of our stock could significantly change the fair value of these instruments and impact our earnings. The convertible promissory notes that are convertible into a variable number of the Company’s shares issued during 2010 and 2011 are Level 3 financial instruments since they are not traded on an active market and there are unobservable inputs, such as expected volatility used to determine the fair value of these instruments. In addition, during 2011, we issued an earn out that is to be settled in shares within one year from the date of acquisition or once the acquired business’s revenue achieves an agreed upon level. The number of shares that could be issued varies based on the achievement of agreed upon revenue metrics. The following table is a reconciliation of changes in fair value of these liabilities that have been classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy:   <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0" style="border-collapse:collapse; text-align: left" align="center">  <tr> <td width="89%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="4%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr>   <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> Balance as of December 31, 2010 </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right"> 5,771,480</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Issuance of convertible promissory notes </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">8,323,700</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> Net losses included in earnings </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">1,961,100</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr style="font-size:1px"> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Balance as of March 31, 2011 </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">16,056,280</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr>  </table>   <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0" style="border-collapse:collapse; text-align: left" align="center">  <tr> <td width="89%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="4%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr>   <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> Issuance of earn out to be settled in shares </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">574,000</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Settlement/conversion of convertible promissory notes </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">(15,933,480</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom">) </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> Net losses included in earnings </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">3,554,900</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr style="font-size:1px"> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Balance as of June 30, 2011 </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">4,251,700</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> Issuance of convertible promissory notes </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">2,362,900</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Settlement/conversion of convertible promissory notes </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">(1,865,300</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom">) </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> Net gains included in earnings </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">(749,100</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom">) </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Balance as of September 30, 2011 </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">4,000,200</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr style="font-size:1px"> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> The amount of gains for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 included in earnings attributable to the change in gains or losses relating to liabilities still held as of September 30, 2011 </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">375,300</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr style="font-size:1px"> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td> </td> </tr>  </table> Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments, which may expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk, include cash and cash equivalents, account receivables, accounts payable, and debt. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. We have never experienced any losses related to these balances. The carrying amounts of cash and the current portion of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s debt is estimated based on the current borrowing rates available to the Company for bank loans with similar terms and maturities, and approximates the carrying value of these liabilities. In addition, certain convertible promissory notes are recorded at fair value at each reporting period date.

NOTE 13 — INCOME TAXES As a result of the merger with CoolBrands on November 2, 2010, as discussed in Note 1 in the 2010 Annual Report, the Company converted from a corporation taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code to a tax-paying entity and accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company has recorded an estimate for income taxes based on the Company’s taxable operating results for the year ending December 31, 2011 and an effective income tax rate of 26.1%. Certain estimates, such as the Company’s projected operating results and the treatment of gains and losses on debt related fair value measurements used in calculating the effective tax rate were revised during the three months ended September 30, 2011, which resulted in the Company recording $46,384 of income tax expense and $8,176,480 of income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. In addition, during 2011, the Company reversed the valuation allowance of $2,368,000 recorded as of December 31, 2010 as a result of the Company’s expectation to utilize its deferred tax assets through the generation of future taxable income arising from deferred tax liability balances. The majority of these deferred tax liabilities were recorded as part of the acquisition of Choice on March 1, 2011 as discussed in Note 3.

NOTE 14 — SEGMENTS On March 1, 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of Choice, a Florida based company that provides a complete range of solid waste and recycling collection, transportation, processing and disposal services. As a result of the acquisition of Choice, the Company now has two operating segments: (1) Hygiene and (2) Waste. The Company’s hygiene operating segment primarily provides commercial hygiene services and products throughout much of the United States, and additionally operates a worldwide franchise and license system to provide the same products and services in markets where Company owned operations do not exist. The Company’s waste segment primary consists of the operations of Choice and acquisitions of solid waste collection businesses. Prior to the acquisition of Choice, the Company managed, allocated resources, and reported in one segment. The following table presents financial information for each of the Company’s reportable segments.   <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="84%" border="0" style="border-collapse:collapse;

NOTE 15 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of its business. Although occasional adverse decisions (or settlements) may occur, the Company believes that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In connection with a distribution agreement entered into in December 2010, the Company provided a guarantee that the distributor’s operating cash flows associated with the agreement would not fall below certain agreed-to minimums, subject to certain pre-defined conditions, over the ten year term of the distribution agreement. If the distributor’s annual operating cash flow does fall below the agreed-to annual minimums, the Company will reimburse the distributor for any such short fall up to a pre-designated amount. No value was assigned to the fair value of the guarantee at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 based on a probability assessment of the projected cash flows. Management currently does not believe that it is probable that any amounts will be paid under this agreement and thus there is no amount accrued for the guarantee in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. This liability would be considered a Level 3 financial instrument given the unobservable inputs used in the projected cash flow model. See Note 7 for the fair value hierarchy.

NOTE 16 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Subsequent to September 30, 2011, the Company acquired several businesses. While the terms, price, and conditions of each of these acquisitions were negotiated individually, consideration to the sellers typically consists of a combination of cash, our common stock, and issuance of debt.
