PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

This summary contains basic information about us and this prospectus and the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Because it is a summary, it does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing. You should read this entire prospectus and the other documents which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus carefully, including the section titled “Risk Factors” and our financial statements and the notes thereto, before making an investment in our securities.

 

General

 

In September 2011, TeamStaff, Inc. changed its corporate name to DLH Holdings, Corp. and now operates under the trade name “DLH.”

 

Incorporated in New Jersey, DLH Holdings Corp. (sometimes with its subsidiaries referred to as the “Company”) is a full-service provider of healthcare delivery solutions, logistics & technical services, and contingency/staff augmentation services to government agencies including the Department of Veteran Affairs, the Department of Defense, and other clients. The Company principally operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary DLH Solutions, Inc. (“DLH Solutions”) and is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.

 

Business Units

 

As part of our overall strategic planning process, the Company realigned its business into three operating units: Healthcare Delivery Solutions; Logistics and Technical Services; and Contingency/Staff Augmentation. This structure enables us to leverage our core competencies and drive towards profitable growth within our expanded target markets. We recognize that some business units may grow faster than others as a result of acquisitions or disposition of business. In either case, we intend to enhance our delivery of quality products and services.

 

Healthcare Delivery Solutions

 

The Healthcare Delivery Solutions business unit provides a broad continuum of care for our nation’s servicemen/women and veterans in various settings and facilities. These include Combat Trauma Centers (CTCs), Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs), Medical Centers, Community-based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs), Pharmacy Distribution Centers (including VA Consolidated Mail-order Outpatient Pharmacy), and an Armed Forces Retirement Facility. We leverage our network of over 400 active clinicians and other healthcare workers throughout selected regions in the US along with differentiating tools, databases and technology (including e-PRAT and SPOT-m) to deliver these services. For over a decade, DLH Solutions has been serving the DVA and DoD in providing qualified medical and other professionals in a variety of positions. Healthcare Delivery Solutions is one of our strategic focus areas for growth and a major business area that DLH Solutions services. As more and more Federal and DoD programs increase their performance-based requirements, DLH Solutions’ workforce profile of medical talent and credentials (as described above) will help it to compete and differentiate itself in the market place. Our healthcare and medical service new business pipeline adds important credentials strategically linked to diversifying and profitably growing our Healthcare Delivery Solutions business base. Professional services have included case management, health and injury assessment, critical care, medical/surgical, emergency room/trauma center, counseling, behavioral health and trauma brain injury, medical systems analysis, and medical logistics. Allied support includes a wide range including MRI technology, diagnostic sonography, phlebotomy, dosimetry, physical therapy, pharmaceuticals and others. In fiscal 2011, approximately 45% of our revenue was derived from the Healthcare Delivery Solutions business unit.

 

Logistics & Technical Services

 

The Logistics & Technical Services business unit draws heavily upon our proven logistics expertise and processes. Our project manager’s expertise range from career government support employees to retired military veterans that have extensive logistic experience. The experience of DLH Solutions’ project managers is diverse from operational unit level to systems command/headquarters program office experience. Our core competencies include; supply chain management, performance-based logistics, distribution center and inventory management, statistical process

control, packaging/handling/storage & transportation, and supply support operations. In addition, it embodies program and project management, systems engineering and applicable information technology services, integrated logistics support (including operational systems), readiness assessments, training, equipment and non-tactical vehicle operations and maintenance, hazardous material management, facilities and shipyard support services and more. DLH Solutions also provides logistics and administrative professionals to the federal government specializing in logistics, office administration, IT, and facilities/warehouse management.

 

Through competitively awarded contracts and task orders (including its LOGWORLD contract) DLH Solutions has developed a strong portfolio of logistics processes, personnel and tools to help its clients achieve nationally recognized awards for customer satisfaction. While the DVA is its largest customer in this area, the Company has taken steps to expand in adjacent logistics markets within DoD and other federal agencies. In fiscal 2011, over 50% of our revenue was derived from the Logistics & Technical Services business unit.

 

Contingency/Staff Augmentation

 

The Contingency/Staff Augmentation business unit provides disaster and emergency response services and civilian workforce augmentation services. For example, the Company’s outstanding track record of response during hurricanes Rita and Katrina demonstrated its ability to support major federal and DoD opportunities in this area. General staffing and selective recruitment process outsourcing are key components of this service area. Less than 5% of fiscal 2011 revenue was derived from the Contingency/Staff Augmentation line of service.

 

Management believes that streamlining the Company’s strategic focus around these three business units enables us to better align our resources and make prudent investment decisions built around a cohesive set of goals and objectives. Equally important in this strategic alignment process is the decision to exit markets where the cost to entry was high and the profit margins too low.

 

Corporate History

 

The Company was originally incorporated in 1969 as a payroll staffing company. Through several acquisitions over recent decades the Company has evolved considerably and in early 2010 made the strategic decision to build the Company around its government services entity, DLH Solutions, Inc. based in Loganville, Georgia. The Company is now completely focused on government services both as a prime contractor as well as partnering with other government contractors.  The Company’s other subsidiaries are not actively operating.

(1)                                 We present Earnings (Loss) Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) adjusted for other non-cash charges (“Adjusted EBITDA”) as a supplemental non-GAAP measure of our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss from continuing operations plus: (i) interest and other expenses net; (ii) provision for or benefit from income taxes, if any; (iii) depreciation and amortization; (iv) G&A expenses—equity grants; and (v) impairment charges. This non-GAAP measure of our performance is used by management to conduct and evaluate its business during its regular review of operating results for the periods presented. Management and the Company’s Board utilize this non-GAAP measure to make decisions about the use of the Company’s resources, analyze performance between periods, develop internal projections and measure management performance. We believe that this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s ongoing operating and financial results and understanding how such results compare with the Company’s historical performance. By providing this non-GAAP measure, as a supplement to GAAP information, we believe we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business and our results of operations. This non-GAAP financial measure is limited in its usefulness and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, US GAAP financial measures. Further, this non-GAAP measure may be unique to the Company, as it may be different from the definition of non-GAAP measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA with net loss from continuing operations is as follows:

(1) As of September 30, 2012. Does not include as of such date:

 

·                  1,462,500 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options, with exercise prices ranging from $0.56 to $1.88 per share.  The weighted-average exercise price  of the outstanding stock options is $1.35 per share;

·                  73,846 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants, with a weighted-average exercise price of $1.58 per share;

·                  979,847 shares reserved for future issuance under our Stock Option Plan; and

 

In July 2011, we sold an aggregate amount of $350,000 of convertible debentures to entities affiliated with Wynnefield Capital. The convertible debentures will mature in October 2014 and bear interest at the rate of the greater of the prime rate plus 5%, or 10% per annum, payable at maturity or upon redemption. The convertible debentures are currently convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $1.25 per share. The initial conversion rate of $1.30 was subject to adjustment to account for certain customary events and also will include weighted-average anti-dilution protection for future issuances by the Company (including the Rights Offering completed in June 2012, and discussed elsewhere in this prospectus), subject to certain exclusions. The Company can also redeem the outstanding convertible debentures at any time at 120% of the remaining principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest. Presently, the convertible debentures are convertible into a total of 280,682 shares of our common stock based upon a conversion price of $1.25 per share.

 

The number of shares of common stock to be outstanding after the offering is based on the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of the date referenced in note 1 to this table and assumes the issuance of all of the shares offered hereby that may be issued upon the exercise of warrants and the conversion of all principal and interest under the outstanding notes held by the Selling Stockholders.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and other information in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus before deciding to invest in our securities. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not presently know or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects. If any of the following risks actually occur, they could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results or prospects. In that case, the trading price of our securities could decline and you may lose part or all of your investment.

 

The price of our common stock is volatile and may decline before or after the subscription rights expire.

 

The market price of our common stock is subject to fluctuations in response to numerous factors, including factors that have little or nothing to do with us or our performance, and these fluctuations could materially reduce our stock price. These factors include, among other things:

 

·                  actual or anticipated variations in our operating results and cash flow;

·                  the nature and content of our earnings releases, and our competitors’ earnings releases;

·                  changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;

·                  business conditions in our markets and the general state of the securities markets and the market for similar stocks;

·                  the number of shares of our common stock outstanding;

·                  changes in capital markets that affect the perceived availability of capital to companies in our industry;

·                  governmental legislation or regulation;

·                  currency and exchange rate fluctuations; and

·                  general economic and market conditions, such as recessions.

 

In addition, the stock market historically has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations are often unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may cause declines in the market price of our common stock.

 

The price of our common stock has been, and is likely to continue to be, volatile. Our stock price during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 traded as low as $0.83 per share and as high as $2.45 per share. We cannot assure you that your initial investment in our common stock will not fluctuate significantly.

 

Since we have not paid dividends on our common stock, you cannot expect dividend income from an investment in our common stock.

 

We have not paid any dividends on our common stock since our inception and do not contemplate or anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Future potential lenders may prohibit us from paying dividends without its prior consent. Therefore, holders of our common stock may not receive any dividends on their investment in us. Earnings, if any, will be retained and used to finance the development and expansion of our business.

 

Trading in our stock over the last twelve months has been limited, so investors may not be able to sell as much stock as they want at prevailing prices.

 

The average daily trading volume in our common stock for the three (3) months ended October 19, 2012, was approximately 4,635 shares. If limited trading in our stock continues, it may be difficult for investors to sell their shares in the public market at any given time at prevailing prices. Moreover, the market price for shares of our common stock may be made more volatile because of the relatively low volume of trading in our common stock. When trading volume is low, significant price movement can be caused by the trading in a relatively small number of shares. Volatility in our common stock could cause stockholders to incur substantial losses.

Table of Contents

 

The exercise of our outstanding options and warrants, or conversion of our outstanding debentures may depress our stock price and dilute your ownership of the company.

 

As of September 30, 2012, the following options and warrants were outstanding:

 

·                  Stock options to purchase 1,362,500 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.56 to $1.88 per share, not all of which are immediately exercisable. The weighted average exercise price of the outstanding stock options is $1.19 per share. These stock options are employee and non-executive director options; and

·                  Warrants to purchase 73,846 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $1.58 per share.

 

In addition, July 2011, we sold an aggregate amount of $350,000 of convertible debentures to the selling stockholders. The convertible debentures will mature on the 27-month anniversary of issuance and bear interest at the rate of the greater of the prime rate plus 5%, or 10% per annum, payable at maturity or upon redemption. The convertible debentures are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $1.25 per share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment to account for certain customary events and also will include weighted-average anti-dilution protection for future issuances by the Company, subject to certain exclusions. Presently, the convertible debentures are convertible into a total of 280,000 shares of our common stock (excluding interest).

 

To the extent that these securities are exercised or converted, dilution to our shareholders will occur. Moreover, the terms upon which we will be able to obtain additional equity capital may be adversely affected, since the holders of these securities can be expected to exercise or convert them at a time when we would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital on terms more favorable to us than the exercise and conversion terms provided by those securities. Further, in the event the conversion price of our outstanding shares of convertible debentures is lower than the actual trading price on the day of conversion, the holders could immediately sell their converted common shares, which would have a dilutive effect on the value of the outstanding common shares. Furthermore, the significant downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock as convertible debenture holders converted these securities and sell the common shares received on conversion could encourage short sales by the holders of convertible debentures or other shareholders. This would place further downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock. Even the mere perception of eventual sales of common shares issued on the conversion of the shares of convertible debentures could lead to a decline in the trading price of our common stock.

 

We may issue preferred stock with rights senior to our common stock, which may adversely impact the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock.

 

Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors up to an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Accordingly, our board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights, which would adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. In the event of issuance, the preferred stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of our Company, which could have the effect of discouraging bids for our Company and thereby prevent stockholders from receiving the maximum value for their shares. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of our preferred stock, in order to discourage or delay a change of control of our Company, we may do so in the future. In addition, we may determine to issue preferred stock in connection with capital raising efforts and the terms of the stock so issued could have special voting rights or rights related to the composition of our Board.

 

Anti-takeover provisions in our Articles of Incorporation make a change in control of our Company more difficult.

 

The provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and the New Jersey Business Corporation Act, together or

 

10



Table of Contents

 

separately, could discourage potential acquisition proposals, delay or prevent a change in control and limit the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for our common stock. Among other things, these provisions:

 

·                  require certain supermajority votes;

·                  establish certain advance notice procedures for nomination of candidates for election as directors and for shareholders’ proposals to be considered at shareholders’ meetings; and

·                  divide the board of directors into three classes of directors serving staggered three-year terms.

 

Pursuant to our articles of incorporation, the board of directors has authority to issue up to 5,000,000 preferred shares without further shareholder approval. Such preferred shares could have dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting and other rights and privileges that are superior or senior to our common stock. Issuance of preferred shares could result in the dilution of the voting power of our common stock, adversely affecting holders of our common stock in the event of its liquidation or delay, and defer or prevent a change in control. In certain circumstances, such issuance could have the effect of decreasing the market price of our common stock. In addition, the New Jersey Business Corporation Act contains provisions that, under certain conditions, prohibit business combinations with 10% shareholders and any New Jersey corporation for a period of five years from the time of acquisition of shares by the 10% shareholder. The New Jersey Business Corporation Act also contains provisions that restrict certain business combinations and other transactions between a New Jersey corporation and 10% shareholders.

 

Our executive officers, directors and significant stockholders will be able to influence matters requiring stockholder approval.

 

Our executive officers, directors and largest shareholder (Wynnefield Capital, Inc. and its affiliates) possess beneficial ownership of approximately 50% of our common stock. Within this amount, Wynnefield Capital and its affiliates own approximately 46% of our outstanding common stock (excluding any warrants and a convertible note owned by Wynnefield Capital). Without giving effect to any adjustment for anti-dilution provisions in the warrants and note held by Wynnefield Capital, the exercise of the warrants and conversion of the note would result in an additional 334,528 shares being owned by Wynnefield Capital as of September 30, 2012, and giving effect to the current exercise price of the warrants and conversion price of the notes held by the selling stockholder. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control of our company, could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their common stock as part of a sale or merger of our company and may negatively affect the market price of our common stock. These transactions might include proxy contests, tender offers, mergers or other purchases of common stock that could give our stockholders the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market price for shares of our common stock.

 

In addition, an employee of Wynnefield Capital, Inc. currently serves on our Board of Directors. As a result of this share ownership and representation on our Board of Directors, our largest stockholder will be able to influence all affairs and actions of our company, including matters requiring stockholder approval such as the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. The interests of our principal stockholders may differ from the interests of the other stockholders.

 

Risks Related to Our Business and Our Industry

 

We depend on contracts with the Federal government for virtually all of our revenue and our business could be seriously harmed if the Federal government decreased or ceased doing business with us or changed its budgets or budgetary priorities.

 

We derive virtually all of our revenues from the U.S. Government as a prime contractor or a subcontractor. Revenues directly from the U.S. Government represented approximately 100% and 98% of the total revenues from continuing operations for the 2011 and 2010 fiscal years, respectively and 100% of our revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2012. Further, our revenue concentration was heavily dependent upon contracts with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Accordingly, the loss or delay of all or a substantial portion of our sales to the U.S.

Government, whether due to a reduction in the overall level of U.S. Government spending or a change in its priorities, would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows.

 

Presently, the Company derives all of its revenue from agencies of the Federal government and the Company has derived a substantial portion of its revenues through various contracts awarded by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. On May 5, 2011, the Company was awarded a single source Blanket Purchase Agreement with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for the procurement of integrated medical support for the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Consolidated Mail Outpatient Pharmacy (“CMOP”) program. This award represents both retention of existing work and expansion of new business at additional U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs locations. The tasks to be performed include project management and a range of pharmaceutical services in support of performance-based pharmaceutical production management at several U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs locations. The maximum total value under this award is presently expected to be approximately $145,000,000 pursuant to site-specific task orders to be rendered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The term of the award is for up to five years, initially expiring April 30, 2016, but which was subsequently extended to October 31, 2016. Work under this contract began on November 1, 2011. The agreement is subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulations and there can be no assurance as to the actual amount of services that the Company will ultimately provide under the agreement. This agreement effectively provides for renewal and expansion of contracts that generated, in aggregate, approximately 45% of its revenue in the year ended September 30, 2011, in respect of which the Company previously held order cover through June 30, 2012 under existing contracts.

 

Furthermore, even if the overall level of U.S. Government spending does increase or remains stable, the budgets of the government agencies with whom we do business may be decreased or our projects with them may not be sufficiently funded. In the event the budgets or budgetary priorities of the U.S. Government entities with which we do business, particularly the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, are decreased or underfunded, our consolidated revenues and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. We are heavily dependent upon the U.S. Government as the primary customer to our DLH Solutions subsidiary. Our future success and revenue growth will depend in part upon our ability to continue to expand our business base. Because of this concentration of contracts, if a significant number of our contracts are simultaneously delayed or cancelled for budgetary, performance or other reasons, it would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows.

 

We face risks relating to U.S. Government contracts because these contracts may be terminated at will.

 

Many of the U.S. Government programs in which we participate as a contractor or subcontractor may extend for several years. However, these programs are normally funded on an annual basis. As mentioned above the U.S. Government may modify, curtail or terminate its contracts and subcontracts for convenience. Due to our dependence on these relationships, the modification, curtailment or termination of our major programs or contracts would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

 

If the government terminates a cost reimbursable contract for convenience, we may not recover the cost of work which has not been completed. We can recover only our incurred or actual cost, to include in certain cases committed costs, and cost for settling outstanding debts and restocking fees. We will also be able to negotiate for a fee based upon the percentage of the work performed or cost incurred. If the government terminates a contract for default, normally we would be unable to recover all costs for work performed and in some cases may be liable for liquidated damages in excess of actual costs incurred. Additionally, the government may seek to have the contract pay for its re-procurement cost for all undelivered items and services not received from another source. Depending on the value of a contract, such termination could cause our actual results to differ materially and adversely from those anticipated. The Company has never had a contract terminated for default.

 

We incurred a net loss from operations for the year ended September 30, 2011 and industry conditions under which we operate have negatively impacted our revenues. Any failure to increase our revenues and keep our expenses consistent with revenues could prevent us from achieving and maintaining profitability.

 

We incurred a net loss from continuing operations of approximately $4.6 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $65.4 million at such date. At June 30, 2012, we had a net

 

12



Table of Contents

 

loss of approximately $1,700,000 for the nine months then ended and an accumulated deficit of approximately $67.1 million. Our business is under economic pressures due to Federal government procurement delays, high unemployment rates, an economy in recession, and other challenging industry dynamics. These industry conditions impacted our ability to grow our revenues resulting in an increase of approximately 2.6% from fiscal 2010 to fiscal 2011. We have expended, and will continue to be required to expend, substantial funds to enhance our marketing efforts and to otherwise operate our business. Therefore, we will need to generate higher revenues to continue increasing profitability and cannot assure you that we will be profitable in any particular future period. Our prospects should be considered in light of the difficulties we are facing, including the current economic climate and the overall competitive environment in which we operate. Revenue levels achieved from our customers, the mix of solutions that we offer and our ability to reduce and manage our operating expenses will positively affect our financial results.

 

Our capital requirements are significant and we may need to raise additional capital to supplement our revenues derived from operations.

 

Our working capital requirements have been and will continue to be significant. As previously reported, in July 2010, we entered into a secured loan arrangement with Presidential Financial Corporation which, as amended to date, provides us with a maximum amount of $3.0 million of credit, subject to the conditions and limitations of the facility. We have, from time to time, utilized our secured credit facility to supplement cash flows from operations in order to satisfy our working capital needs. We used approximately $1.0 million and $2.2 million in cash for operating activities for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and our available cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2011 totaled approximately $800,000. We used approximately $1.4 million and $1.3 million in cash for operating activities for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and our available cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2012, totaled approximately $3.1 million. Based on our business plan and current working capital position, we presently believe that we have sufficient liquidity resources, including those expected to be generated by forecasted operations and from timely collection of unbilled receivables from the DVA as well as those expected to be available under our credit facility, and the effects of cost reduction programs and initiatives to fund our operations for the next twelve months. This in part assumes the ultimate non-payment of certain liabilities and recorded guarantees which we are currently contesting or are not expected to be settled in cash (see Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements for our fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, included in our Report on Form 10-K which are incorporated by reference) (classified as current at September 30, 2011) in fiscal 2012 or the applicable portion of fiscal 2013.

 

During 2011, the Company received equity and debt funding of $150,000 and $350,000, respectively, exclusive of direct costs. Such proceeds were derived from management and board members and our largest shareholder, all of whom are considered related parties.  In June, 2012, we completed a rights offering from which we received gross proceeds of $4,200,000.

 

However, it may be necessary for us to raise additional capital to accelerate growth, fund operations and to meet our obligations in the future. To meet our financing requirements, we may seek to raise funds through equity, debt or equity-based financings (such as convertible debt) or strategic alliances. Raising additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities may cause our stockholders to experience substantial dilution in their ownership interests and new investors may have rights superior to the rights of our other stockholders. Raising funds through the issuance of equity or debt securities may result in us issuing securities with powers, designations, preferences or rights senior to our currently outstanding securities and possible dilution. Raising additional funds through debt financing, if available, may involve covenants that restrict our business activities and options. We currently have no firm agreements with any third-parties for such transactions and no assurances can be given that we will be successful in raising sufficient capital from any proposed financings, or that additional financing, if at all available, can be obtained on acceptable terms to us. If we are unable to obtain additional capital when required, or on acceptable terms, we may need to reduce expenses and operations and you may lose your investment in our Company. Our future capital requirements will depend on, and could increase substantially as a result of many factors, including:

 

·                  our ability to achieve targeted gross profit margins and cost management objectives;

·                  our ability to reach break-even or profitability;

 

13



Table of Contents

 

·                  our ability to achieve timely collection of unbilled accounts receivable from the DVA;

·                  our ability to continue to not make payment of certain liabilities (classified as current at September 30, 2011);

·                  the success of our sales and marketing efforts; and

·                  changes in economic, regulatory or competitive conditions.

 

Our contract proposals and in many cases our invoices are subject to audits and investigations by U.S. Government agencies and unfavorable government audit results could force us to refund previously recognized revenues and could subject us to a variety of penalties and sanctions.

 

From time to time, U.S. Government representatives may audit our performance on and invoices submitted on our U.S. Government contract. Further, federal agencies can also audit and review our compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. Under these audits, if it is found that we incorrectly invoiced or invoiced work not performed or claimed hours to be performed that were not performed we would have to refund these amounts. Normally, these audits are performed throughout the year and as such if found represent a refund within the current year. However, the government may go further back in time than the present fiscal year and adjustments may result over one or more fiscal years. Additionally, as a government contractor, we are from time to time subject to inquiries and investigations of our business practices by the U.S. Government due to our participation in government contracts. We cannot assure you that any such inquiry or investigation will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.

 

If a government audit uncovers illegal activities or activities not in compliance with a contract’s terms or conditions, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines, and suspension or debarment from doing business with federal government agencies. In addition, we could suffer serious harm to our reputation if allegations of impropriety were made against us, whether or not true. If we were suspended or debarred from contracting with the federal government generally or with any specific agency, if our reputation or relationships with government agencies were impaired, or if the government otherwise were to cease doing business with us or were to significantly decrease the amount of business it does with us, our revenue, cash flows and operating results would be materially adversely affected.

 

If an audit determines that any of our administrative processes and systems do not comply with requirements, we may be subjected to increased government scrutiny and approval that could delay or otherwise adversely affect our ability to compete for or perform contracts or collect our revenue in a timely manner. Therefore, an unfavorable outcome of an audit could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from those anticipated. Moreover, if an audit determines that costs were improperly allocated to a specific contract, such amounts will not be reimbursed, and any such costs already reimbursed must be refunded and certain penalties may be imposed

 

The U.S. Government contract bid process is highly competitive, complex and sometimes lengthy, and is subject to protest and implementation delays.

 

Many of our contracts and task orders with the federal government are awarded through a competitive bidding process, which is complex and sometimes lengthy. We expect that much of the business that we will seek in the foreseeable future will continue to be awarded through competitive bidding. If a bid is won and a contract awarded, there still is the possibility of a bid protest or numerous delays in implementation. Our business could be adversely affected by delays caused by our competitors protesting major contract awards received by us, resulting in the delay of the initiation of work. It can take many months to resolve protests by one or more of our competitors of contract awards we receive. The resulting delay in the start up and funding of the work under these contracts may cause our actual results to differ materially and adversely from those anticipated, and there can be no assurance that such protest process or implementation delays will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations in the future. This competitive bidding process presents a number of risks, including the following:

 

·                  we expend substantial cost and managerial time and effort to prepare bids and proposals for contracts that we may not win;

 

14



Table of Contents

 

·                  we may be unable to estimate accurately the resources and cost structure that will be required to service any contract we win; and

·                  we may encounter expenses and delays if our competitors protest or challenge awards of contracts to us in competitive bidding, and any such protest or challenge could result in the resubmission of bids on modified specifications, or in the termination, reduction or modification of the awarded contract.

 

If we are unable to win particular contracts, we may be prevented from providing to clients services that are purchased under those contracts for a number of years. If we are unable to consistently win new contract awards over any extended period, our business and prospects will be adversely affected and that could cause our actual results to differ materially and adversely from those anticipated. In addition, upon the expiration of a contract, if the client requires further services of the type provided by the contract, there is frequently a competitive rebidding process. There can be no assurance that we will win any particular bid, or that we will be able to replace business lost upon expiration or completion of a contract, and the termination or non-renewal of any of our significant contracts could cause our actual results to differ materially and adversely from those anticipated.

 

Our failure to comply with complex Federal procurement laws and regulations could cause us to lose business, incur additional costs, and subject us to a variety of penalties.

 

We must comply with complex laws and regulations relating to the formation, administration, and performance of federal government contracts. These laws and regulations create compliance risk and affect how we do business with our federal agency clients, and may impose added costs on our business. If a government review or investigation uncovers illegal activities or activities not in compliance with a particular contract’s terms or conditions, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, harm to our reputation, suspension of payments, fines, and suspension or debarment from doing business with federal government agencies. The government may in the future reform its procurement practices or adopt new contracting rules and regulations, including cost accounting standards, that could be costly to satisfy or that could impair our ability to obtain new contracts. A failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could result in contract termination, price or fee reductions, or suspension or debarment from contracting with the federal government, each of which could lead to a material reduction in our revenues, cash flows and operating results.

 

Our government services business is dependent upon maintaining our reputation, our relationships and our performance in regard to government service.

 

The reputation and relationships that we have established and currently maintain with government personnel and agencies are important to maintaining existing business and identifying new business. If our reputation or relationships were damaged, it could have a material adverse effect on our ability to maintain or expand our business relationship with U.S. Government entities. In addition, if our performance does not meet agency expectations, our revenue and operating results could be materially harmed.

 

Competition is intense in the government services business.

 

There is often intense competition to win federal agency contracts. If we are unable to successfully compete for new business or win competitions to maintain existing business, our revenue and margins may materially decline. Many of our competitors are larger and have greater resources than we do, larger client bases and greater brand recognition. Our competitors, individually or through relationships with third parties, may be able to provide clients with different or greater capabilities or benefits than we can provide.

 

Budgetary pressures and changes in the procurement process have caused many government clients to increasingly purchase goods and services through Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (“IDIQ”) contracts, General Services Administration (“GSA”) schedule contracts and other government-wide acquisition contracts. These contracts, some of which are awarded to multiple contractors, have increased competition and pricing pressure, requiring that we make sustained post-award efforts to realize revenue under each such contract. In addition, in consideration of the practice of agencies awarding work under such contracts that is arguably outside the intended scope of the contracts, both the GSA and the Department of Defense have initiated programs aimed to ensure that all work fits properly

 

15



Table of Contents

 

within the scope of the contract under which it is awarded. The net effect of such programs may reduce the number of bidding opportunities available to us. Moreover, even if we are highly qualified to work on a particular new contract, we might not be awarded business because of the federal government’s policy and practice of maintaining a diverse contracting base.

 

We may not receive the full amounts authorized under the contracts included in our backlog, which could reduce our revenue in future periods below the levels anticipated.

 

Our backlog consists of funded backlog, which is based on amounts actually committed by a client for payment for goods and services, and unfunded backlog, which is based upon management’s estimate of the future potential of our existing contracts and task orders, including options, to generate revenue. Our backlog may not result in actual revenue in any particular period, or at all, which could cause our actual results to differ materially and adversely from those anticipated. The maximum contract value specified under a government contract or task order awarded to us is not necessarily indicative of the revenue that we will realize under that contract. For example, we derive revenue from ID/IQ contracts, which do not require the government to purchase a pre-determined amount of goods or services under the contract. Further, although many of our Federal government contracts contemplate performance over a period of years, Congress often appropriates funds for these contracts for only one year at a time. As a result, our contracts typically are only partially funded at any point during their term, and all or some of the work intended to be performed under the contracts will remain unfunded pending subsequent Congressional appropriations and the obligation of additional funds to the contract by the procuring agency. Nevertheless, we may estimate our share of the contract values, including values based on the assumed exercise of options relating to these contracts, in calculating the amount of our backlog. Because we may not receive the full amount we expect under a contract, our estimate of our backlog may be inaccurate and we may generate results that differ materially and adversely from those anticipated.

 

Failure to maintain strong relationships with other contractors could materially and adversely affect our revenue.

 

We intend to derive substantial revenue from contracts in which we act as a subcontractor or from teaming arrangements, in which we and other contractors bid on particular contracts or programs. As a subcontractor or teammate, we will often lack control over fulfillment of a contract, and poor performance on the contract could impact our customer relationship, even if we perform as required. We expect to increasingly depend on relationships with other contractors for a portion of our revenue in the foreseeable future. Moreover, our revenue and operating results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated if any such prime contractor or teammate chose to offer directly to the client services of the type that we provide or if they team with other companies to provide those services.

 

Loss of our GSA schedule contracts or other contracting vehicles could impair our ability to win new business and perform under existing contracts.

 

As with any other company where their GSA schedule contracts constitute a significant percentage of revenue, we are dependent on providing services to U.S. government entities. We currently hold multiple GSA schedule contracts, including a federal supply schedule contract for professional and allied healthcare services and the logistics worldwide services contract. We are currently in the process of renewing the professional and allied healthcare services schedule, which would expire June 30, 2012, absent such renewal. The current term of our logistics worldwide schedule expires in November 2012, and includes an additional five year option period thereafter. If we were to lose one or more of these contracts or other contracting vehicles, we could lose a significant revenue source and our operating results and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected. These contracts typically have an initial term with multiple options that may be exercised by our government agency clients to extend the contract for successive periods of one or more years. We can provide no assurance that our clients will exercise these options.

Our employees (or those of others, with whom we are associated, such as teammates, prime or sub-contractors) may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, which could harm our business.

 

Like all government contractors, we are exposed to the risk that employee fraud or other misconduct could occur. Misconduct by our employees (or those of others, with whom we are associated, such as teammates, prime or sub-contractors) could include intentional failures to comply with federal government procurement regulations, engaging in unauthorized activities, seeking reimbursement for improper expenses, or falsifying time records. Employee misconduct could also involve the improper use of our clients’ sensitive or classified information and result in a serious harm to our reputation. While we have policies in affect to deter illegal activities and promote proper conduct, these are not a failsafe. Since it is not always possible to deter employee misconduct, and precautions to prevent and detect this activity may not be effective in controlling such risks or losses, which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and liquidity.

 

The failure by Congress to approve budgets on a timely basis for the federal agencies we support or changes in the budget priorities of such agencies could delay or reduce spending and cause us to lose or post revenue, in another period.

 

On an annual basis, Congress must approve budgets that govern spending by each of the federal agencies we support. When Congress is unable to agree on budget priorities and is unable to pass the annual budget on a timely basis, Congress typically enacts a continuing resolution. A continuing resolution allows government agencies to operate at spending levels approved in the previous budget cycle. When government agencies must operate under a continuing resolution, it may delay funding we expect to receive from clients on work we are already performing and will likely result in any new initiatives being delayed or, in the extreme, cancelled. Changes in federal government fiscal or spending policies could adversely affect our government agency business. In particular, if the Federal government does not adopt, or delays adoption of, a budget for each fiscal year beginning on October 1, or fails to pass a continuing resolution, federal agencies may be forced to suspend our contracts and delay the award of new and follow-on contracts and orders due to a lack of funding. Therefore, period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be a good indication of our future performance and the occurrence of any of the above mentioned scenarios may materially and adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our profits and revenues could suffer if we are involved in legal proceedings, investigations and disputes.

 

As with much of the government services market, workers performance can result in substantial injury and we are exposed to legal proceedings, investigations and disputes. For example, in the ordinary course of our business, we may be involved in legal disputes regarding personal injury or employee disputes. While we provision for these types of incidents through commercial party insurance carriers, we often defray these types of cost through higher deductibles. Any unfavorable legal ruling against us could result in substantial monetary damages by losing our deductible portion of carried insurance or even criminal violations. We maintain insurance coverage as part of our overall legal and risk management strategy to lower our potential liabilities. If we sustain liabilities that exceed our insurance coverage or for which we are not insured, it could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, including our profits, revenues and liquidity.

 

We are dependent upon certain of our management personnel and do not maintain “key personnel” life insurance on our executive officers.

 

Our success to date has resulted in part from the significant contributions of our executive officers. Our executive officers are expected to continue to make important contributions to our success. As of September 1, 2012, our CEO, CFO, Executive Vice President of Business Development and the President of DLH Solutions are under employment contracts. However, we do not maintain “key person” life insurance on any of our executive officers. Loss for any reason of the services of our key personnel could materially affect our operations.

Table of Contents

 

Demand for our services could be significantly affected by the general level of economic activity and unemployment or by factors beyond our control (e.g. hurricanes, weather conditions, acts of war, etc.) in the United States.

 

Our business, financial condition, cash flow and results of operations may be affected by various economic factors. Unfavorable economic conditions may make it more difficult or impossible for us to maintain or grow our revenue. In an economic recession or under other adverse economic conditions, customers and vendors may be more likely to be unable to meet contractual terms or their payment obligations.

 

We may be held liable for the actions of our employees and therefore incur unforeseen liabilities.

 

While we carry insurance for these types of liabilities, as a result of our employer status, we may be liable for violations of these or other laws despite contractual protections. In addition, as our employees may be deemed to be our agents, we could be held liable for their actions which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

 

Our staffing of healthcare professionals exposes us to potential malpractice liability.

 

Through our subsidiaries, we engage or have recently engaged in the business of providing healthcare professionals. The placement of such employees increases our potential liability for negligence and professional malpractice of those employees and any such liabilities may not become immediately apparent. Although we are covered by professional malpractice liability insurance on a claims made basis in the aggregate amount of $5.0 million with a $2.0 million per occurrence limit, which we deem reasonable under the circumstances, not all of the potential liability we face may be fully covered by insurance. Any significant adverse claim, which is not covered by insurance, may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

 

We may not be fully covered by the insurance we procure and our business could be adversely impacted if we were not able to renew all of our insurance plans.

 

Although we carry liability insurance, the insurance we purchase has a deductible portion which helps us to defray cost, but it may not be sufficient to cover the total cost of any judgments, settlements or costs relating to any present or future claims, suits or complaints. In addition, sufficient insurance may not be available to us in the future on satisfactory terms or at all. Also, any increase in our costs of insurance will impact our profitability to the extent that we cannot offset these increases into our costs of services. If the insurance we carry is not sufficient to cover any judgments, settlements or costs relating to any present or future claims, suits or complaints, our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity could be materially adversely affected.

 

Our financial condition may be affected by increases in employee healthcare claims and insurance premiums, unemployment taxes and workers’ compensation claims and insurance rates.

 

Our current workers’ compensation and medical plans are partially self-funded insurance programs. The Company currently pays base premiums plus actual losses incurred, not to exceed certain individual and aggregate stop-loss limits. In addition, health insurance premiums, state unemployment taxes and workers’ compensation rates for the Company are in large part determined by our claims experience. These categories of expenditure comprise a significant portion of our direct costs. If we experience a large increase in claim activity, our direct expenditures, health insurance premiums, unemployment taxes or workers’ compensation rates will increase. Although we employ internal and external risk management procedures in an attempt to manage our claims incidence and estimate claims expenses and structure our benefit contracts to provide as much cost stability as reasonably possible given the self-funded nature of our plans, we may not be able to prevent increases in claim activity, accurately estimate our claims expenses or pass the cost of such increases on to our clients. Since our ability to incorporate such increases into our fees to our clients is constrained by contractual arrangements with our clients, a delay could occur before such increases could be reflected in our fees, which may reduce our profit margin. As a result, such increases could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

If we were not able to renew all of the health and workers’ compensation plans that cover our employees, our business would be adversely impacted.

 

The maintenance of health and workers’ compensation insurance and administration plans that cover our employees is a significant part of our business. If we were unable to secure renewal of contracts for such plans or the renewal of such plans with favorable rates and with competitive benefits, our business would be adversely affected. The current health and workers’ compensation contracts are provided by vendors with whom we have an established relationship and on terms that we believe to be favorable. While we believe that renewal contracts could be secured on competitive terms without causing significant disruption to our business, there can be no assurance in this regard.

 

If we are unable to attract qualified personnel for our business, our business may be negatively affected.

 

We rely heavily on our ability to attract and retain qualified professionals and other personnel who possess the skills, experience and licenses necessary in order to provide our solutions for our assignments. Our business is materially dependent upon the continued availability of such qualified personnel. Our inability to secure qualified personnel would have a material adverse effect on our business. The cost of attracting qualified personnel and providing them with attractive benefits packages may be higher than we anticipate and, as a result, if we are unable to pass these costs on to our clients, our profitability could decline. Moreover, if we are unable to attract and retain qualified personnel, the quality of our services may decline and, as a result, we could lose clients.

 

Our results of operations and cash flow are affected by our ability to leverage our cost structure.

 

We have technology, operations and human capital infrastructures in place to support both our current business operations and future growth. As revenues grow, these costs are leveraged over a larger revenue base, which positively impacts our results of operations and cash flows. Similarly, in periods of contraction, these costs are no longer as leveraged, adversely affecting our results of operations and cash flow. During the last fiscal year, in light of the adverse market conditions being experienced by our business, we took steps to attempt to manage our selling, general and administrative expenses. However, we expect reductions in such costs to be limited and there to be areas where additional spend may be deemed appropriate by management in preparation for anticipated growth, which will adversely affect our results of operations and cash flow until revenues increase.

 

We are exposed to increased costs and risks associated with complying with increasing and new regulation of corporate governance and disclosure standards.

 

Since the effectiveness for us of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we spend an increasing amount of management’s time and resources (both internal and external) to comply with changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosures. This compliance requires management’s annual review and evaluation of our internal control systems. This process has caused us to engage outside advisory services and has resulted in additional accounting and legal expenses. We may encounter problems or delays in completing these reviews and evaluation and the implementation of improvements. If we are not able to timely comply with the requirements set forth in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we might be subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities. Any such action could materially adversely affect our business and our stock price.

 

We are highly dependent on the proper functioning of our information systems.

 

We are highly dependent on the proper functioning of our information systems in operating our business. Critical information systems used in daily operations identify and match staffing resources and client assignments. The system also tracks regulatory credentialing expirations and other relevant client and healthcare information. They also perform payroll, billing and accounts receivable functions. While we have multiple back up plans for these types of contingencies, our information systems are vulnerable to fire, storm, flood, power loss, telecommunications failures, physical or software break-ins and similar events. If our information systems fail or are otherwise unavailable, these functions would have to be accomplished manually, which in turn could impact our financial viability, due to the increased cost associated with performing these functions manually.

Potential tax liabilities may adversely affect our financial condition.

 

The Company has received notices from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) claiming taxes, interest and penalties are due related to payroll taxes predominantly from its former PEO operations which were sold in fiscal 2003. The Company has also received notices from the IRS reporting overpayments of taxes. Management believes that these notices are predominantly the result of misapplication of payroll tax payments between its legal entities. If not resolved favorably, the Company may incur interest and penalties. Until the sale of certain assets related to the former PEO operations, the Company operated through 17 subsidiaries, and management believes that the IRS has not correctly identified payments made through the different entities, therefore leading to the notices. To date, the Company has been working with the IRS to resolve these discrepancies and has had certain interest and penalty claims abated. DLH has also received notices from the Social Security Administration claiming variances in wage reporting compared to IRS transcripts. The Company believes the notices from the Social Security Administration are directly related to the IRS notices received. The Company had retained the services of Ernst & Young LLP as a consultant to assist in resolving certain of these matters with the IRS and Social Security Administration. The Company believes that after the IRS applies all the funds correctly, any significant interest and penalties will be abated; however, there can be no assurance that each of these matters will be resolved favorably. In settling various years for specific subsidiaries with the IRS, the Company has received refunds for those specific periods; however, as the process of settling and concluding on other periods and subsidiaries is not yet completed, the potential exists for related penalties and interest. No payments have been made by the Company in fiscal 2011 or 2010, but as disclosed in the footnotes to our Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, a liability of $1.3 million is recorded at September 30, 2011. No payments were made during the nine months ended June 30, 2012. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of these remaining payroll tax matters will not have a significant adverse effect on its financial position or future results of operations. The Company’s intention is that it will, in due course, seek to negotiate a mutually satisfactory payment plan with the IRS, but there is no assurance that it would be successful in doing so and the Company’s future cash flows and liquidity could therefore be materially affected by this matter.

 

We have a substantial amount of goodwill on our balance sheet. Future write-offs of goodwill may have the effect of decreasing our earnings or increasing our losses.

 

We have previously obtained growth through acquisitions of other companies and businesses. Under existing accounting standards, we are required to periodically review goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets for possible impairment. In the event that we are required to write down the value of any assets under these pronouncements, it may materially and adversely affect our earnings. As of September 30, 2011, we had $8.6 million of goodwill, which represents the excess of the total purchase price of our acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. As permitted, we do not amortize goodwill deemed to have an indefinite useful life. Impairment, for goodwill deemed to have an indefinite life, exists if the net book value of the goodwill asset equals or exceeds its fair value. As required, we performed our annual review for impairment during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 by performing a fair value analysis of DLH Solutions. The fair value analysis was completed with the assistance of independent outside valuation professionals. For the purposes of this analysis, our estimates of fair value are based on the income approach, which estimates the fair value of the DLH Solutions unit based on the probability-weighted future discounted cash flows. Based on the results of the work performed, the Company has concluded that no impairment loss was warranted at September 30, 2011. The Company’s current fiscal year ends September 30, 2012 and no determination of goodwill has been determined as of the date of this Prospectus. Additional impairment analyses may be performed to determine if indicators of impairment are present, and if so, such amount will be determined and the associated charge will be recorded to the consolidated statement of operations. Although it does not affect our cash flow, an impairment charge to earnings has the effect of decreasing our earnings or increasing our losses, as the case may be. If we are required to record goodwill impairment charges, our stock price could also be adversely affected.

 

We have a significant amount of net operating loss carry forwards which we may not be able to utilize in certain circumstances and which might be adversely impacted by the results of the rights offering.

 

At September 30, 2011, we had net operating losses, or NOLs, of approximately $38.2 million and $26.2 million for U.S. and state tax return purposes, respectively, and unutilized tax credits approximate $1.1 million. Under Section

Table of Contents

 

382 of the Internal Revenue Code, following an “ownership change,” special limitations apply to the use by a “loss corporation” of its: (i) NOL carry forwards arising before the ownership change; and (ii) net unrealized built-in losses (if such losses existed immediately before the ownership change and exceed a statutory threshold amount) recognized during the five years following the ownership change. As a result of previous business combinations and changes in ownership, there is a substantial amount of U.S. NOLs that are subject to annual limitations on utilization. Our U.S. NOLs begin to expire in 2021 and continue to expire through 2031.

 

Our ability to utilize our NOLs against future taxable income, if any, could be substantially reduced if we were to undergo an “ownership change” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 382 generally restricts the use of an NOL after an “ownership change” to an annual amount equal to the value of the company (generally measured by the value of its outstanding stock) multiplied by the long-term tax-exempt rate. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code generally provides that following the occurrence of an “ownership change,” certain tax attributes of a loss corporation will have limited ability to offset taxable income in the post change period. An ownership change generally occurs if there has been a 50 percentage point increase in the stock of the loss corporation stock which is held certain shareholders or groups of shareholders known as “5% shareholders.” This testing is done at various points in time by comparing the percentage of the loss company stock at a particular point in time (a “Testing Date”) with the lowest percentage held by that shareholder in the three year period preceding that Testing Date. The issuance of shares pursuant to the exercise of the Company’s subscription rights will be a Testing Date for Section 382 purposes.

 

It is possible that as a result of the result of subscriptions in rights offering, or future transactions with 5% shareholders, that there may be deemed a change of control under Section 382 in which event the Company’s ability to utilize NOLs may be limited or lost.

Risks Relating To Our Revolving Credit Line

 

Our credit facility is secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets and if we are unable to make the scheduled principal and interest payments on the facility or maintain compliance with other debt covenants, we may default on the facility.

 

On July 29, 2010, DLH Solutions entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Presidential Financial Corporation (the “Lender”). Under the Loan Agreement, the Lender agreed to provide a two (2) year secured loan facility to DLH Solutions in an aggregate amount of up to $1.5 million, upon the further terms and subject to the conditions of the Loan Agreement. In November, 2010, the Lender agreed by means of an amendment to the Loan Agreement to increase the maximum amount available under the facility from $1.5 million to $2.5 million and on February 9, 2011, we entered into a further amendment to the Loan Agreement pursuant to which the Lender agreed to further increase our maximum availability under the Loan Agreement from $2.5 million to $3.0 million and to provide an unbilled receivable facility within the limits of the Loan Agreement. The February 2011 amendment also extended the term of the Loan Agreement by 12 months, to July 29, 2013.

 

In May 2012, the Company entered into a further amendment to the Loan Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”) pursuant to which the Lender agreed to increase the available line of credit from $3,000,000 to a maximum amount of $6,000,000 and to increase the maximum amount available under the unbilled accounts facility of the Loan Agreement from $500,000 to $1,000,000. The Company’s ability to borrow against the increased available credit, however, is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Fifth Amendment provides for an initial sublimit under the maximum loan amount of $3,000,000 (the “Initial Sublimit”) and an adjusted sublimit of $4,000,000 (the “Adjusted Sublimit”). The Initial Sublimit of $3,000,000 will remain in effect until the satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) the repayment of the $500,000 over-advance accommodation agreed to by Lender as of May 9, 2012, (ii) the Company’s demonstration of the need for the increase, (iii) the Company’s continued compliance with the Loan Agreement, and (iv) Lender, in its sole discretion, agrees to increase the Initial Sublimit. In the event that the foregoing conditions are satisfied, the credit available to under the Loan Agreement shall remain subject to the Adjusted Sublimit until the parties receive any required waivers or consents from the holders of the Company’s subordinated Convertible Debentures issued as of July 28, 2011 and Lender, in its sole discretion, agrees to such further increase. In addition, the increased availability under the unbilled accounts facility of the Loan Agreement is subject to the satisfaction of the same conditions that are applicable to Initial Sublimit. Accordingly, until these conditions are satisfied, the current borrowing limits remain in effect.

 

An interest rate premium of 2% is payable in respect of any advances secured by unbilled accounts receivable, which are subject to a sub-facility limit of $500,000 and an advance rate of 75%. The loan is secured by a security interest and lien on all of DLH Solutions’ cash accounts, account deposits, letters of credit and investment property, chattel paper, furniture, fixtures and equipment, instruments, investment property, general intangibles, deposit accounts, inventory, other property, all proceeds and products of the foregoing (including proceeds of any insurance policies and claims against third parties for loss of any of the foregoing) and all books and records related thereto. DLH Solutions’ ability to request loan advances under the Loan Agreement is subject to (i) computation of DLH Solutions’ advance availability limit based on “eligible accounts receivables” (as defined in the Loan Agreement) multiplied by the “Accounts Advance Rate” established by the Lender which initially shall be 85% and may be increased or decreased by the Lender in exercise of its discretion; and (ii) compliance with the covenants and conditions of the loan.

 

Under the Loan and Security Agreement, interest accrues at the greater of (a) 3.25% or (b) (i) 1.95% above the Wall Street Journal Prime rate on the accounts receivable portion of the credit line and (ii) 3.95% above the Wall Street Journal Prime rate on the unbilled accounts portion. In addition, DLH Solutions will pay certain other related fees and expense reimbursements including a monthly service charge of 0.65% based on the average daily loan balance which shall accrue daily and be due and payable on the last day of each month so long as the Loan Agreement is outstanding. The interest rate in effect at June 30, 2012 and 2011 was 5.2% and 5.5%, respectively. At June 30, 2012, based on current eligible accounts receivable, the amount of the unused availability under the line was $588,000. The amount outstanding as of June 30, 2012 was $1,464,000.

The Loan Agreement requires compliance with customary covenants and contains restrictions on the Company’s ability to engage in certain transactions. Among other matters, under the loan agreement we may not, without consent of the Lender, (i) merge or consolidate with another entity, form any new subsidiary or acquire any interest in a third party; (ii) acquire any assets except in the ordinary course of business; (iii) enter into any transaction outside the ordinary course of business; (iv) sell or transfer collateral; (v) make any loans to, or investments in, any affiliate or enter into any transaction with an affiliate other than on an arms-length basis; (vi) incur any debt outside the ordinary course of business; (vii) pay or declare any dividends or other distributions; or (viii) redeem, retire or purchase any of our equity interests exceeding $50,000. Further, without the consent of the Lender, the Company is also restricted from making any payments in respect of other outstanding indebtedness.  The Lender agreed to eliminate the tangible net worth covenant as part of the Fifth Amendment. The Lender may terminate the Loan Agreement at any time upon 60 days written notice after December 31, 2012 and the Loan Agreement provides for customary events of default following which the Lender may, at its option, terminate the loan agreement and accelerate the repayment of any amount outstanding. The defined events of default include, among other things, a material adverse change in the Company’s circumstances, or if the Lender deems itself insecure in the ability of the Company to repay its obligations, or as to the sufficiency of the collateral.

 

On May 9, 2012, Presidential Financial Corporation agreed to allow the Company to borrow up to $500,000 under its facility with the Company in excess of the eligible collateral, but subject to the maximum loan amount of $3,000,000.  This arrangement expired with the closing of the rights offering on June 15, 2012.  There were no advances against this facility.

 

In consideration of the Lender entering into the Fifth Amendment, we agreed to pay a monthly collateral monitoring fee, a documentation fee and at the time that we may borrow amounts in excess of the Initial Sublimit, an origination fee of 1% of the increased availability.

 

The Company has concurrently executed a Corporate Guaranty Agreement with Lender pursuant to which it has guaranteed all of the obligations of DLH Solutions under the Loan Agreement.

 

Our customers make payments directly to a bank account controlled by our Lender over which we have no control and which is used to pay down our loans. As a result our access to cash resources is substantially at the discretion of our Lender and could cease in the event of a default on our loan agreement.

 

Our contract award with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, consistent with U.S. government contacts generally, includes special contracting requirements that give the government the ability to unilaterally control our contracts.

 

In addition, U.S. government contracts typically contain unilateral termination provisions for the government and are subject to audit and modification by the government at its sole discretion, which will subject us to additional risks. These risks include the ability of the U.S. government unilaterally to:

 

·                  suspend or prevent us for a set period of time from receiving new contracts or extending existing contracts based on violations or suspected violations of laws or regulations;

·                  terminate our contracts, including if funds become unavailable or are not provided to the applicable governmental agency;

·                  delay the issuance of the requisite security clearances for our employees (which we are pursuing) necessary for the company to perform under the agreement; or revoke such clearances;

·                  reduce the scope and value of our contracts and/or revise the timing for work to be performed;

·                  audit and object to our contract-related costs and fees, including allocated indirect costs;

·                  control and potentially prohibit the export of our products;

·                  claim rights to products, including intellectual property, developed under the contract; and

·                  change certain terms and conditions in our contracts.

 

The U.S. government will be able to terminate its contract with us either for its convenience or if we default by failing to perform in accordance with the contract schedule and terms. Termination-for-convenience

provisions generally enable us to recover only our costs incurred or committed, settlement expenses, and profit on the work completed prior to termination. Termination-for-default provisions do not permit these recoveries and would make us liable for excess costs incurred by the U.S. government in procuring undelivered items from another source.

 

Due to the current economic downturn, the accompanying fall in tax revenues, and the U.S. government’s efforts to stabilize the economy, the U.S. government may be forced or choose to reduce or delay spending in the healthcare administration field, which could decrease the likelihood of future government contract awards, the likelihood that the government will exercise its right to extend its existing contracts with us and/or the likelihood that the government would procure products from us.

 

Our business with the VA is subject to audit by the U.S. government and a negative audit could adversely affect our business.

 

U.S. government agencies routinely audit and investigate government contractors. These agencies review a contractor’s performance under its contracts, cost structure and compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. Audits may also review the adequacy of, and a contractor’s compliance with, its internal control systems and policies, including the contractor’s purchasing, property, estimating, compensation and management information systems. Any costs found to be improperly allocated to a specific contract will not be reimbursed, while such costs already reimbursed must be refunded. If an audit uncovers improper or illegal activities, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including:

 

·                  termination of contracts;

·                  forfeiture of profits;

·                  suspension of payments;

·                  fines; and

·                  suspension or prohibition from conducting business with the U.S. government.

 

In addition, we could suffer serious reputational harm if allegations of impropriety were made against us.

 

Laws and regulations affecting government contracts make it more costly and difficult for us to successfully conduct our business.

 

We must comply with numerous laws and regulations relating to the formation, administration and performance of government contracts, which can make it more difficult for us to retain our rights under these contracts. These laws and regulations affect how we conduct business with government agencies. Among the most significant government contracting regulations that affect our business are:

 

·                  the Federal Acquisition Regulation, or FAR, and agency-specific regulations supplemental to the Federal Acquisition Regulation, which comprehensively regulate the procurement, formation, administration and performance of government contracts;

·                  the business ethics and public integrity obligations, which govern conflicts of interest and the hiring of former government employees, restrict the granting of gratuities and funding of lobbying activities and incorporate other requirements such as the Anti-Kickback Act, the Procurement Integrity Act, the False Claims Act and Foreign Corrupt Practices Act;

·                  export and import control laws and regulations; and

·                  laws, regulations and executive orders restricting the use and dissemination of information classified for national security purposes and the exportation of certain products and technical data.

 

Any changes in applicable laws and regulations could restrict our ability to maintain our existing contracts and obtain new contracts, which could materially adversely affect our revenues and results of operations.

 

We are subject to product liability risks associated with the production, marketing and sale of products used in the healthcare industry.

 

The production, marketing and sale of devices used in the health-care industry have inherent risks of liability in the event of product failure or claim of harm caused by product operation. Furthermore, even

meritless claims of product liability may be costly to defend against. The commercialization of the telehealth device exposes us to such claims. These types of product liability claims may result in decreased demand for this product, injury to our reputation, related litigation costs; and substantial monetary awards to plaintiffs. We attempt to limit by contract our liability; however, the limitations of liability set forth in the contracts may not be enforceable in certain jurisdictions or may not otherwise protect us from liability for damages. We may also be subject to claims that are not covered by contract, such as a claim directly by a patient. Although we currently maintain product liability insurance, we may not have sufficient insurance coverage, and we may not be able to obtain sufficient coverage at a reasonable cost. Our inability to obtain product liability insurance at an acceptable cost or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims could inhibit the commercialization of any products that we develop. If we are sued for any injury caused by our products or processes, then our liability could exceed our product

We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

 

In addition to other factors and matters discussed elsewhere herein, the following are important factors that in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements:

 

·                  the market acceptance of our services;

·                  our business, product, capital expenditure and research and development plans and product and technology roadmaps;

·                  the ability to compete against products intended for similar use by recognized and well capitalized companies;

·                  our ability to raise capital when needed, and without adverse and highly dilutive consequences to stockholders;

·                  our ability to protect intellectual property;

·                  our ability to retain management and obtain additional employees as required; and

·                  our ability to adapt to economic, political and regulatory conditions affecting our target markets.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

We have filed a registration statement with the SEC, of which this prospectus forms a part, with respect to the resale of shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus from time to time under the Securities Act. The shares of common stock covered by this prospectus consist of a total of 4,476,361 shares of common stock held by the selling stockholders, including shares issuable upon exercise of warrants and upon conversion of convertible debentures.

 

On March 16, 2012, the Company announced that it had filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a rights offering in which existing stockholders of the Company would receive non-transferable rights to purchase $4.2 million of additional shares of its common stock (the “Rights Offering”).  The Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the rights offering was declared effective on May 2, 2012 by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Rights Offering was completed on June 15, 2012. The Company successfully raised the $4.2 million it had sought by selling 3,230,769 shares (subject to rounding down to the nearest whole share) of its common stock at the $1.30 per share offering price. As a result, the total number of shares of the Company`s common stock outstanding as of the completion of the Rights Offering was approximately 9,305,702 shares.

 

On May 2, 2012, the Company entered into a standby purchase agreement with Wynnefield Capital, Inc. (“Wynnefield Capital”), the Company’s largest stockholder, whereby Wynnefield Capital (or affiliated assignees) agreed to acquire from us in the rights offering, subject to the satisfactions of specified conditions, the shares of common stock that relate to any rights that remain unexercised at the expiration of the rights offering. Prior to the Rights Offering, Wynnefield Capital, through certain affiliated entities, owns approximately 21% of our outstanding common stock (without including any warrants or shares issuable upon conversion of convertible debentures held by Wynnefield Capital).  Wynnefield Capital owns warrants to purchase 53,846 shares at an exercise price of $0.96 per share, and a $350,000 convertible note which has a conversion rate of $1.25 per share.

 

Mr. Peter Black, a member of our board of directors, is an employee of Wynnefield Capital.

 

The purchases under the standby agreement were completed in connection with the completion of the Rights Offering on June 15, 2012. Wynnefield Capital and its affiliated entities acquired an aggregate of $3,692,326 of shares (upon the same terms as all other participants at $1.30 per share) and received an aggregate of approximately 2,840,251 shares of common stock.  As of the completion of the Rights Offering, Wynnefield Capital and its affiliates owned an aggregate of 4,476,361 shares of common stock, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 53,846 shares of common stock and 280,682 shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of convertible debentures.

 

In connection with the standby agreement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with Wynnefield Capital whereby the Company agreed, at its cost and expense, to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, all shares of common stock beneficially owned by Wynnefield Capital (and its affiliated

entities), including shares purchased by Wynnefield Capital and its affiliated entities in the Rights Offering.  The registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, was filed to satisfy our obligations to Wynnefield Capital and its affiliated entities.

 

Summary

 

Set forth below is a summary of the circumstances that led to the issuance to the listed selling stockholders of the shares of common stock registered hereby.

 

Selling Stockholders Table

 

The table below sets forth, to our knowledge, information about the selling stockholders as of the dates specified in the footnotes to the table. The shares offered for resale under this prospectus are being registered for resale by the selling stockholders, or the transferees of such selling stockholders. Such persons may resell from time to time all, a portion, or none of such shares. In addition, the selling stockholders may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of a portion of our common stock being offered under this prospectus in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. We do not know when or in what amounts the selling stockholders may offer shares for sale. See “Plan of Distribution.”

 

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to shares of our common stock. Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, the selling stockholders named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them. The number representing the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned prior to the offering for each selling stockholder includes all shares of the selling stockholders being offered pursuant to this prospectus, as well as all options or other derivative securities which are exercisable within 60 days, including warrants held by a selling stockholder. The inclusion of any shares in this table does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership by the persons named below.

 

More specifically, the following table sets forth as to each selling stockholder:

 

·                  the number of shares of our common stock that the selling stockholder beneficially owned prior to offering for resale any shares of our common stock being registered by the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;

·                  the number of shares of our common stock that may be offered for resale for each selling stockholder’s accounts under this prospectus, including the number of such shares that may be offered by the selling stockholders which are issuable upon the exercise of warrants; and

·                  the number and percent of shares of our common stock to be held by the selling stockholders after the offering of the shares registered hereunder, assuming all of such shares are sold by the selling stockholder and that such person does not acquire any other shares of our common stock prior to the assumed sale of all of the resale shares. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of the common stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus.

 

The table is prepared based on information supplied to us by each selling stockholder. Although we have assumed for purposes of the table below that the selling stockholders will sell all of the shares offered by this prospectus, because the selling stockholders may offer from time to time all or some of their shares covered under this prospectus, or in another permitted manner, no assurances can be given as to the actual number of shares that will be resold by the selling stockholders or that will be held by the selling stockholders after completion of the resales. In addition, the selling stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of the shares in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act since the date the selling stockholders provided the information regarding their shares. Information concerning the selling stockholders may change from time to time and changed information will be presented in a supplement to this prospectus if and when necessary and required. Except as described in this section, there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the resale of any of the shares covered by this prospectus.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The selling stockholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

 

The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:

 

·                       ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

·                       block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

·                       purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

·                       an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

·                       privately negotiated transactions;

·                       short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC;

·                       through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

·                       broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

·                       a combination of any such methods of sale; and

·                       any other method permitted by applicable law.

 

The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

 

In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each selling stockholder reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.

 

The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the

 

30



Table of Contents

 

requirements of that rule.

 

The selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Any selling stockholder who is an “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

 

Each selling stockholder has advised us that they have not entered into any written or oral agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriter or broker-dealer regarding the sale of the resale shares. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the selling stockholders.

 

To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

 

In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

 

We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholder and its affiliates. In addition, to the extent applicable we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

 

We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.

 

We have agreed with the selling stockholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of: (1) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement; or (2) the date on which the shares may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

 

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation. Section 145 of the DGCL also provides that expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a director or officer in defending an action may be paid by a corporation in advance of the final disposition of an action if the director or officer undertakes to repay the advanced amounts if it is determined such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. The DGCL provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

 

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability: (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions; or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

 

Our Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of our directors and provides that our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for: (i) breach of a director’s duty of loyalty; (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law; (iii) the unlawful payment of a dividend or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption; and (iv) any transaction from which a director derives an improper personal benefit. Our Certificate of Incorporation also provides that we shall indemnify our directors to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. In addition, our bylaws provide that we shall indemnify our directors to the fullest extent authorized under the laws of the State of

 

II-1



Table of Contents

 

Delaware. Our bylaws also provide that our Board of Directors shall have the power to indemnify any other person that is a party to an action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that the person is an officer or employee of our company. We have an insurance policy that insures our directors and officers, within the limits and subject to the limitations of the policy, against certain expenses in connection with the defense of actions, suits or proceedings, and certain liabilities that might be imposed as a result of such actions, suits or proceedings, to which they are parties by reason of being or having been directors or officers.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, is permitted for our directors, officers or controlling persons, pursuant to the above mentioned statutes or otherwise, we understand that the SEC is of the opinion that such indemnification may contravene federal public policy, as expressed in the Securities Act, and therefore, is unenforceable. Accordingly, in the event that a claim for such indemnification is asserted by any of our directors, officers or controlling persons, and the SEC is still of the same opinion, we (except insofar as such claim seeks reimbursement from us of expenses paid or incurred by a director, officer of controlling person in successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) will, unless the matter has theretofore been adjudicated by precedent deemed by our counsel to be controlling, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether or not indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS

 

A. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i)         To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

(ii)          To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

Provided, however, Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form F-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

 

(2)         That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3)         To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(4)         That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

 

(i) If the Registrant is relying on Rule 430B:

 

A.       Each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

 

B.       Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part

of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

 

(ii) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

B. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
