INTERFACE SECURITY SYSTEMS HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Organization
Interface Security Systems Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) is a Delaware corporation. Holdings is a technology company engaged in the sale, provisioning, installation, monitoring and maintenance of physical security, secure managed broadband, digital voice and Internet Protocol ("IP") based applications to commercial and residential customers throughout the United States. Holdings is primarily owned by SunTx Capital Partners, L.P. and its affiliates (“SunTx Capital Partners”), which owns approximately 88% of the voting power of Holdings' parent company, Interface Master Holdings, Inc. ("Master Holdings") on a fully diluted basis. Holdings owns 100% of the outstanding membership interests of its principal operating subsidiary, Interface Security Systems, L.L.C. (“Interface Systems”). Collectively, Holdings and Interface Systems are referred to herein as the "Company" or "Interface". In the third quarter of 2013, Holdings acquired all of the remaining noncontrolling interest in The Greater Alarm Company, Inc. (“GAC”) and merged Westec Acquisition Corp. (“Westec”) and GAC into Interface Systems.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries. All significant transactions and account balances between entities included in the consolidated financial statements have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2014, and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information; accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures typically included in the Company’s annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted from this report. In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods disclosed have been made. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's registration statement on Form S-4 which was declared effective by the SEC on July 30, 2014 (the "Registration Statement"). Information presented as of December 31, 2013 is derived from audited financial statements. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.
Operating Model and Liquidity
The Company conducts business in one operating segment, which is identified by the Company based on how resources are allocated and operating decisions are made. A majority of the Company’s revenues are generated within the Unites States and a majority of the Company’s long-lived assets are located within the United States. Management evaluates performance and allocates resources based on the Company as a whole. The Company’s business model is based on generating long-term contracts with customers to provide on-going monitoring, maintenance and related services that generate profitable recurring monthly revenue ("RMR"). For transactions in which we retain ownership of the systems, any amounts collectible upfront are deferred and amortized over the longer of the average customer life or the initial term of the contract. The Company makes a one-time investment in sales and installation cost to create new customers internally and this investment is not capitalized. Certain other industry participants purchase customers through customer contract purchases, and as a result, may capitalize the full cost to purchase these customer contracts, as compared to our organic generation of new customers, where the majority of customer creation costs is expensed. The Company generates substantial operating losses as a result of having to expense the majority of its investment in subscriber RMR growth.
The Company invested direct costs of $12.9 million and $10.9 million to create new RMR of $0.6 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $28.0 million and $32.2 million to create new RMR of $0.9 million and $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company's cash use for operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 is primarily due to these investments.
5
INTERFACE SECURITY SYSTEMS HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Security technology monitoring companies are generally valued based on a multiple of the RMR associated with the customer contracts and these purchase multiples do vary based on performance metrics, scale and market conditions. Management believes that there is significant value created for the Company’s stockholders resulting from the steady growth in the Company’s RMR at historical investment levels. The Company has demonstrated year-on-year increases in monitoring and managed service revenues from adding new RMR that generates high cash flow margins. As of September 30, 2014, the Company is actively billing approximately $7.8 million of RMR and has a Contracted Backlog of RMR contracts totaling $2.5 million of which one-third is expected to be installed in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Throughout the course of the Company’s history, it has been able to adjust the level of RMR growth and related investment based on the capital available. If the Company were to cease its internal growth strategy and no longer invest in creating new RMR, it would generate future positive cash flows that could be used to pay down its outstanding debt.
In January 2013, the Company closed an offering of 9 1/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 (the "Senior Secured Notes") in an aggregate principal amount of $230.0 million, the proceeds of which were used to repay its then existing revolver balance, senior subordinated note, subordinated notes payable and the fees and expenses associated with the offering. In addition, the Company had $32.0 million drawn and $6.1 million available for borrowing under its revolving credit facility at September 30, 2014. See Note 7.
The Company used $39.7 million and $19.4 million of cash for operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and had positive working capital of $46.9 million as of September 30, 2014 and negative working capital of $13.2 million (excluding assets and liabilities held for sale) as of December 31, 2013. In addition, as of September 30, 2014, the Company had $262.0 million of total indebtedness.
Other Comprehensive Income
The Company did not recognize any other comprehensive income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.
2. Sale of Transferred Assets
Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), dated as of January 9, 2014 (the “Closing Date”), by and among My Alarm Center, LLC, d/b/a Alarm Capital Alliance (“Buyer”), and Interface Systems, the Company sold certain residential customer contracts and related assets and liabilities used exclusively in, or necessary to conduct, the alarm system sales, installation, repair, maintenance and monitoring services of the Company’s Hawk Security Services brand (“Hawk”) in the State of Texas (the “Transferred Assets”) to the Buyer. The total purchase price for the Transferred Assets was approximately $42.8 million of which approximately $40.7 million was paid in cash to the Company and $2.1 million was deposited in an escrow account on the Closing Date. Approximately $2.0 million was recorded as restricted cash on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2013. The funds remained in escrow for six months following the Closing Date with a 30 day settlement period and served as the exclusive source of recovery for customary indemnification obligations with respect to the Company’s representations, warranties and covenants under the Asset Purchase Agreement and certain adjustments to the purchase price in the event the customer attrition rate applicable to the Transferred Assets differed from specified targets. The Company agreed to provide Buyer with certain specified transition services to allow for the efficient transition of the Transferred Assets to Buyer for six months following the Closing Date with a 30 day settlement period, unless extended by mutual agreement. This escrow balance was released and received by the Company in August 2014. The Company continues to operate in the residential alarm monitoring business under the Interface brand and the Hawk branded services were not clearly distinguishable operationally or for financial reporting purposes. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds to redeem all of the issued and outstanding shares of its Class G Preferred Stock and Class F Preferred Stock and part of its Class E Preferred Stock and to pay a cash dividend in an aggregate amount of approximately $27.3 million to the stockholders as permitted under the indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes.
As of December 31, 2013, the Transferred Assets met the criteria for assets held for sale under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. As such, the assets and liabilities to be sold were reclassified as held for sale. Assets held for sale on the Company's balance

sheet as of December 31, 2013 included accounts receivable of approximately $0.3 million, inventory of $0.3 million and property, plant and equipment of $3.6 million. Liabilities held for sale on the Company's balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 included accrued expenses of $0.1 million, customer deposits of $0.5 million, and deferred revenue of $0.8 million.

Revolving line of credit | 32,000 | 26,500 | |||||
$ | 262,000 | $ | 256,500 |
In January 2013, the Company closed an offering of Senior Secured Notes for $230.0 million, the proceeds of which were used to repay the existing revolver balance, senior subordinated promissory note, subordinated notes payable and the fees and expenses associated with the offering. The Senior Secured Notes have a maturity date of January 15, 2018 and have an interest rate of 9.25% with semi-annual interest payments due on January 15th and July 15th. The Senior Secured Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by each of the Company's future domestic restricted subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ existing and future tangible and intangible assets.
In connection with the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers of the Senior Secured Notes. The Registration Statement was filed pursuant to the Company's obligations under this registration rights agreement on July 9, 2014. The Registration Statement was declared effective on July 30, 2014. The exchange offer expired on August 27, 2014 and all of the Senior Secured Notes were tendered by the holders and exchanged.
The Company also closed a $45.0 million revolving credit facility in January 2013, senior to the Senior Secured Notes, which allows the Company to borrow the lesser of $45.0 million or up to 5 times RMR. The revolving credit facility matures on January 15, 2018 and had $32.0 million drawn and availability of $6.1 million at September 30, 2014. The revolving credit facility includes a $1.0 million sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit, and the amount outstanding reduces the available borrowing capacity. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had $0.1 million in letters of credit outstanding.
Borrowings under the revolving line of credit bear interest at a floating rate per year equal to the higher of (A) the rate (adjusted for statutory reserve requirements for Eurocurrency liabilities) at which Eurodollar deposits are offered for a period equal to one, two, three, or six months, as quoted on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or any successor / similar page or service) as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the day that is two London banking days preceding the applicable interest determination date and (B) 0.50%, plus 3.25% (3.75% as of September 30, 2014). The revolving credit facility includes financial covenants, including: (i) a covenant not to exceed a revolving facility usage to eligible RMR ratio of 5.0 to 1.0, (ii) a covenant to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage of 1.25 to 1.0, and (iii) a covenant not to exceed a maximum gross attrition rate of 13.0% at any time. The revolving credit facility is secured by a first priority perfected lien on all of the same assets that secure the Senior Secured Notes. The revolving credit facility also provides that, upon the occurrence of certain events of default, the Company’s
9

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
obligations thereunder may be accelerated and any lending commitments terminated. Such events of default include payment defaults to the lenders, material inaccuracies of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross‑defaults to other material indebtedness, voluntary and involuntary bankruptcy proceedings, material money judgments, certain change of control events and other customary events of default. As of September 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all of the restrictive and financial covenants.
On May 16, 2014, the Company entered into a waiver, consent and second amendment to its revolving credit facility with the lender, which (i) amended the revolving credit facility to permit, and in which the lender consented to, certain events in connection with certain reorganization transactions; (ii) amended the revolving credit facility to provide that a ‘‘change of control’’ in the indenture governing the 12.50% / 14.50% Senior Contingent Cash Pay Notes of Master Holdings (the "Master Holding Notes") will constitute a ‘‘change in control’’ under the revolving credit facility; and (iii) waived any defaults in connection with the Company’s prior substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. On August 15, 2014, the Company entered into a third amendment to its Revolving Credit Facility with the lender, which increased the amount of capital leases, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case, incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of design, construction, installation or improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the business, in an aggregate principal amount, including all new indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any existing indebtedness incurred not to exceed $5,000,000 at any time outstanding, less the outstanding amount of any capital leases disclosed.
On May 30, 2014, the Company completed a corporate reorganization with Master Holdings in connection with the closing of a $115.0 million offering of the Master Holdings Notes. The Master Holding Notes are not guaranteed by any of Master Holdings subsidiaries, including Holdings and Interface Systems. Pursuant to the reorganization, each of SunTx Capital Partners and certain of its affiliates, Michael T. Shaw, Michael J. McLeod, Kenneth Obermeyer and certain other stockholders of Holdings exchanged all of their shares of each class of common stock of Holdings and each class of preferred stock of Holdings for an equal number of shares of common stock and preferred stock of Master Holdings with substantially similar terms as the shares of Holdings. In addition, Master Holdings used $71.6 million of the proceeds of the offering to purchase shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock of Holdings. Holdings and Interface Systems intend to use the consideration from the sale of shares of Holdings common stock to Master Holdings to make cash interest payments on the Senior Secured Notes and for general corporate purposes, including to fund growth initiatives. Immediately following the consummation of these transactions, Master Holdings owned approximately 99% of each class of common stock of Holdings and at least 99% of each class of Holdings’ preferred stock. Subsequent to these transactions, the remaining stockholders of Holdings exchanged all of their shares of each class of common stock and preferred stock of Holdings for an equal number of shares of common stock and preferred stock of Master Holdings. As a result, Master Holdings now owns 100% of the common stock and preferred stock of Holdings.
Based upon outstanding indebtedness as of September 30, 2014, aggregate annual maturities on the total borrowings under all debt agreements as of September 30, 2014 are as follows (in thousands):

At September 30, 2014, the Senior Secured Notes traded at a range of 102.25 to 103.25 based upon available market information. The range of the estimated fair value of the Company's Senior Secured Notes was $235.2 million to $237.5 million as of September 30, 2014 and is classified with Level 2 (see Note 8) of the valuation hierarchy. The remaining portion of the Company’s debt is considered a Level 3 input supported by little or no market activity.

Costs related to borrowings are deferred and amortized to interest expense over the terms of the related borrowing. Deferred charges consist of the following at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company has established a process for determining fair value of its financial assets and liabilities using available market information or other appropriate valuation methodologies. Fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such valuation methods are not available, fair value is based on internally or externally developed models using market-based or independently-sourced market parameters, where available. Fair value may be subsequently adjusted to ensure that those assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value. The use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value estimate as of the Company’s reporting date.
Fair value guidance establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements, based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date, as follows:
• | Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
• | Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset and liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. |
• | Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
The carrying amounts of cash, receivables and payables approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.
9. Income Taxes
The Company recognized income tax expense of $1.1 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $0.03 million and $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, resulting in an effective tax rate of 7.92% and 1.50% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and (3.79)% and 1.46% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In each period, income tax expense includes i) the effects of a valuation allowance maintained for federal and state deferred tax assets including net operating loss carry forwards and ii) expense for certain jurisdictions where the tax liability is determined based on non-income related activities, such as gross sales. In addition, the Company determines it estimated annual effective tax rate based on its projected operating losses for the year and applies this rate to each period in accordance with requirements for accounting for income taxes under ASC 740-270.

10. Mezzanine Equity
Mezzanine equity in the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 is comprised of the Company’s Class A, Class C, Class E, Class F and Class G preferred stock, including accrued dividends. Holdings’ adopted an amended and restated certificate of incorporation on May 29, 2014 authorizing 70,000 shares of Class A preferred stock with a par value of $1.00 per share, 60,000 shares of Class C preferred stock with a par value of $1.00 per share, and 50,000 shares of Class E preferred stock with a par value of $1.00 per share. Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, none of the classes of preferred stock are entitled to receive any dividends.
Prior to adopting the amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended (the “prior charter”), also authorized 50,000 shares of Class F preferred stock with a par value of $1.00 per share and 5,000 shares of Class G preferred stock with a par value of $1.00 per share. In addition, each share of Class E preferred stock was convertible into one share of Class A common stock and one share of Class C preferred stock at any time at the option of the stockholder. Pursuant to the prior charter, each series of the preferred stock accrued dividends cumulatively on a daily basis at the rate of 10% per annum (12.9% for the Class F preferred stock), due and payable upon a liquidation event (as defined in the prior charter). Dividends ceased to accrue upon adoption of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation.
The Company’s preferred stock each contain an optional redemption that allows the Company to redeem the preferred shares at its option, and a mandatory redemption upon a Disposition Event (as defined in Holdings’ amended and restated certificate of incorporation), in each case, at their stated redemption value plus all accrued and unpaid dividends. Since SunTx and its affiliates control the appointment of the directors of Holdings through its ownership of the substantial majority of the voting power of Master Holdings, SunTx Capital Partners could require the Company to redeem the preferred shares or otherwise force a Disposition Event. As such, the Company considers the preferred stock and associated dividends to be payable at the option of the holder and not solely within the Company’s control. Accordingly, the Company’s preferred stock is recorded as redeemable and / or convertible securities (outside of permanent equity) in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Class C and Class E have liquidation preference rights over Class A preferred stock. The distribution of any liquidation is set forth in Holdings’ amended and restated certificate of incorporation.
In January 2014, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the Transferred Assets to redeem all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Class G preferred stock and Class F preferred stock and part of the Company’s Class E preferred stock and to pay a cash dividend in an aggregate amount of approximately $27.3 million to the stockholders as permitted under the indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes.

11. Stockholders’ Equity
Holdings’ amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes 3,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.01 per share, and 1,500,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.01 per share. See consolidated statement of changes in stockholder’s equity (deficit) for details of shares issued and outstanding. In addition, each share of Class A common stock is convertible into one share of Class B common stock at any time at the option of the stockholder.
On December 13, 2001 (date of inception), members of Company management purchased shares of Holdings’ stock at prices determined by the Board of Directors of the Company. The purchase price for such shares was paid to Holdings with an aggregate of $250,000 in recourse promissory notes payable to the Company, with the shares pledged as collateral. The outstanding balance of the promissory notes of $0.1 million December 31, 2013 is reflected as a reduction in stockholders’ equity (deficit) in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Subsequent to the date of inception, additional shares of Holdings’ stock were purchased with cash or issuance of additional promissory notes by certain members of management. In April 2014, all of the promissory notes issued by management were paid in full and terminated.
12. Benefit Plan
The Company sponsors a 401(k) savings plan (the “Plan”) covering substantially all employees who are at least age 21 and have completed six months of service with the Company. The Company, at its discretion, may make employer contributions to the Plan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company made a contribution of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, to the Plan.

14. Concentrations of Credit Risk and Significant Customers
The Company provides services and sells its products to a wide range of customers including commercial businesses and private residences. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses, and such losses have historically been within management’s expectations.
Purchases from a specific vendor that provides subcontract labor in the security alarm and managed services industry totaled $4.5 million and $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. At September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, the Company had an accounts payable balance of $3.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively, due to the vendor. Purchases from this vendor represented 15.9% and 8.2% of the Company’s total purchases for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Additionally, purchases of equipment from another vendor totaled $3.1 million and $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. At September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, the Company had an accounts payable balance of $3.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively, due to the vendor. Purchases from this vendor represented 11.0% and 6.3% of the Company’s total purchases for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Although approximately 26.9% and 14.5% of the Company’s total purchases were purchased from these vendors for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, the Company continues to maintain strong relationships with other vendors in the industry and has the ability to purchase the necessary equipment and services from these other vendors to continue its operations, if needed.
The Company had concentrations of credit risk with two customers, representing 18.4% and 7.5%, respectively, of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The associated accounts receivable from these two customers as a percentage of the Company’s accounts receivable, net, were 19.9% and 17.8%, respectively, as of September 30, 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company's two largest customers accounted for 16.8% and 5.1%, respectively, of total revenues and represented 24.5% and 11.8%, respectively, of the Company’s total accounts receivable, net, as of September 30, 2013.
15. Noncontrolling Interest
In November 2004, Holdings acquired 80% of the voting common stock of GAC. As of December 31, 2012, and as a result of subsequent stock purchases and additional capital contributions since 2004, Holdings owned approximately 99% of the voting common stock of GAC. In the third quarter of 2013, Holdings acquired all of the remaining noncontrolling interest in GAC for $0.1 million. The noncontrolling interest’s share of GAC’s net loss was $0.01 million and $0.03 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, in the consolidated statement of operations.
16. Related Party
In April 2010, the Company entered into a Management Services Agreement (the "Management Agreement") with SunTx Capital Management Corp.

The term of the Management Agreement is ten years, which may be terminated by SunTx Management upon 90 days written notice to the Company. The Company pays SunTx Management, on a monthly basis, SunTx Management’s
14

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
customary fees for rendering the management services, as set forth in a statement delivered to the Company from time to time. These fees are anticipated under the Management Agreement not to exceed $500,000 on an annual basis. The Company also reimburses SunTx Management for all out-of-pocket expenses and payroll costs of in-house legal counsel incurred by SunTx Management in connection with the management services and pays all taxes resulting from its purchase or use of the management services. In addition to the management services fee, in connection with any acquisitions, dispositions or debt or equity financings by Interface Systems or any of its affiliates, Interface Systems will pay SunTx Management a fee which shall not exceed an amount equal to 2% of the total enterprise value involved in the transaction (the "Equity Fee"). The total enterprise value is determined by the board of directors of Interface Systems. Under the indenture for the Master Holdings Notes, the Company is not permitted to pay the fees to SunTx Management under the Management Agreement unless, among other requirements, the Company is permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional indebtedness pursuant to the fixed charge coverage ratio test set forth in the indenture for the Senior Secured Notes. The Company was not permitted to incur such $1.00 of additional indebtedness for the trailing four quarters ended September 30, 2014 and therefore, no fees were paid to SunTx Management during the period from June 2014 to September 2014. Fees paid to SunTx Management were $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
In March 2014, the Company entered into a Settlement and Advance agreement with a former employee of the Company and shareholder of Master Holdings. The agreement releases all current and future claims against the Company in return for a non-interest bearing loan of $500,000 to the former employee and shareholder. The loan is secured by a promissory note and a pledge agreement securing 50% of the 2,074.02 shares of Master Holdings' common stock (representing 7.0% of the total outstanding common stock) owned by the former employee and shareholder.
17. Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation and regulatory proceedings arising out of its operations. Management believes that the Company is not currently a party to any legal or regulatory proceedings, the adverse outcome of which, individually or in the aggregate, would materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
18. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, ("ASU 2014-15"). ASU 2014-15 is intended to provide guidance about management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Management is required under the new guidance to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued when preparing financial statements for each interim and annual reporting period. If conditions or events are identified, the ASU specifies the process that must be followed by management and also clarifies the timing and content of going concern footnote disclosures in order to reduce diversity in practice. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-15 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

19. Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated all events or transactions through the date of this filing noting no matters that require disclosure herein.
20. Condensed Consolidating Financial Information
In January 2013, Holdings and Interface Systems, as co-issuers, issued $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes (see Note 7). Pursuant to the indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes, such notes are fully and unconditionally and jointly and severally guaranteed by each of the Company's future domestic restricted subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all of the Company's and the guarantors' existing and future tangible and intangible assets. Separate condensed consolidating information is not included because Interface Systems is a wholly-owned subsidiary and co-issuer of the Senior Secured Notes and Holdings has insignificant independent assets or operations. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of Holdings to obtain funds from its subsidiary. Based on these facts, and in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X Rule 3-10, "Financial statements of guarantors and issuers of guaranteed securities registered or being registered," the Company is not required to provide condensed consolidating financial information for its subsidiary. All consolidated amounts in the Company's financial statements are representative of its subsidiary.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
General
Interface Security Systems Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) is primarily owned by SunTx Capital Partners, L.P. and its affiliates (“SunTx Capital Partners”), which owns approximately 88% of the voting power of Holdings' parent company, Interface Master Holdings, Inc. ("Master Holdings"), on a fully diluted basis. We own 100% of the outstanding membership interests of our principal operating subsidiary, Interface Security Systems, L.L.C. (“Interface Systems”). In the third quarter of 2013, we acquired all of the remaining noncontrolling interest in The Greater Alarm Company, Inc. (“GAC”) and we merged Westec Acquisition Corp. (“Westec”) and GAC into Interface Systems. Collectively, Holdings and Interface Systems are referred to herein as the “Company,” “Interface” “we,” “our," or “us”.
Overview
We are a leading national provider of physical security and secured managed network services to primarily large, commercial multi-site customers and believe that we provide the most comprehensive Internet protocol (“IP”) technology‑enabled managed security solution in the market. Our physical security solutions include alarm / event monitoring, interactive video surveillance, managed access control and fire / life safety systems. Our secured network services include secure managed broadband (“SMB”), payment card industry (“PCI”) compliance, managed digital voice and other ancillary services. Our comprehensive service offering is designed to meet the needs of commercial enterprises that require a universal and secure IP security platform capable of servicing all of their locations. We combine a complete suite of customized physical and network security services into a fully‑integrated bundle, enabling our customers to consolidate services from multiple vendors into a single service provider, significantly enhancing the quality and breadth of their security and reducing their costs.
Our physical security platform is delivered utilizing state-of-the-art IP technology, which enables our alarm / event monitoring to be faster, more reliable and less expensive than digital dialer systems. In addition, our experienced engineering team is able to program the routers on these IP systems to optimize our alarm monitoring and interactive video surveillance services by proactively managing bandwidth in our customers’ networks to insure continuity of all critical business systems. Our proprietary video surveillance technology allows for remote event‑based monitoring from our central command center (“C3”) where highly trained specialists can monitor real-time events taking place at a customer premise through both live video and audio and take appropriate action. We believe our proprietary video surveillance technology provides the most cost efficient system in the market allowing operators to simultaneously monitor events at multiple customer locations. The unique features of this system include video verification, rapid response, video escorts and snapshot audits. These services, along with our other ancillary IP security applications, are custom‑configured through a private, secured network to meet the requirements of our customer’s existing software system and infrastructure. We are able to continuously monitor the health of each customer’s network remotely through our Security Operations Center (“SOC”) / Network Operations Center (“NOC”).
We supply and install all of the required hardware and software equipment for our bundled service offering, which enables us to enter into long term (on average four years or more) contracts with our customers. We have also taken the quality of service and level of urgency that is critical to the life safety / emergency response sector and applied it to monitoring SMB. Interface is the one provider that can do it all, safely integrating our customers' security and network needs into one highly reliable and cost effective bundle and we are uniquely equipped to meet the rapidly changing technology demands of today's retail, commercial and small business enterprises.
Our diverse customer base includes large multi-site commercial enterprises in the luxury retail, dining, quick-service restaurant (“QSR”) and hospitality vertical sectors, including the following brands: Dollar General, Subway, Family Dollar, Michaels Stores, McDonald’s, Sterling Jewelers, Zales, Tumi, Panda Express, Sunoco and Edward Jones. As of September 30, 2014, our top ten customers accounted for 50.1% of our total recurring monthly revenue (“RMR”) with an average relationship length of seven years. As of September 30, 2014, we serviced approximately 76,300 total customer sites across our customer base through our 16 regional service centers and employee field technicians in most of the largest markets in the U.S. The scope and breadth of our services, combined with our significant equipment investment, software system configuration and long term contracts make our customer relationships stable and “sticky.” In addition, we have established a sales and installation infrastructure capable of acquiring and managing large‑scale national account deployments, which we can leverage to add new customers without significantly incurring additional infrastructure costs. We also have mutually‑beneficial channel partnership agreements in place with companies such as Cisco and Verizon Wireless to expand our national sales reach at
17
minimal incremental cost. As a result of our infrastructure, partnerships and focus on large, commercial multi-site customers, our costs to create customers are lower than the industry average and we achieve higher than industry average revenue per user ("ARPU"). We have demonstrated the ability to manage large‑scale deployments across customer locations nationwide in a short period of time, as highlighted by our rollout of over 10,000 store locations for Dollar General in 2010 and 2011 (“Dollar General Deployment”).
Recent Events
On August 15, 2014, we entered into a third amendment to our $45.0 million revolving credit facility (as amended, the "Revolving Credit Facility") with the lender, which increased the amount of capital leases, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case, incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of design, construction, installation or improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the business, in an aggregate principal amount, including all new indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any existing indebtedness incurred not to exceed $5,000,000 at any time outstanding, less the outstanding amount of any capital leases disclosed.
Factors Affecting Operating Results
We conduct our business and report financial and operating information in one operating segment. Our operations comprise a single business segment. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, approximately 69.0% and 75.8%, respectively, of our revenue is derived from customers who sign long-term monitoring and maintenance contracts. These long-term contracts, typically between 36 and 60 months in duration, provide stable and predictable RMR. The amount of RMR that we generate from any single customer depends on the type of services being provided. We offer a wide range of physical and network security IP-based managed services. The balance of our revenue is generated through upfront fees for the installation of new systems and repair of existing systems. The generation of new customers requires significant upfront investments in subscriber system assets, field labor, sales costs and related general and administrative costs. As a result of our infrastructure, partnerships and focus on large, commercial multi-site customers, we believe we have a lower than industry average creation cost to acquire a new customer (“creation cost”), which in turn provides high margin RMR and higher than industry ARPU generated from our monitoring and managed services.
We market our services through direct sales channels and in partnerships with select vertical marketing organizations. We are working to establish additional channel partnerships with these vertical marketing organizations that we believe will generate new business. We primarily focus on industry verticals where there is a significant base of national accounts with multi-site operations, both company operated and franchised. Our focus on large, established national customers helps reduce our exposure to attrition as a result of locations closing, or customers going out of business.
Our operating results are impacted by the following key factors: RMR, number of customer additions, creation costs, ARPU, average net attrition rate, the costs to monitor and service our customers, the level of general and administrative expenses and the availability and cost of capital required to generate new customers. Average net attrition rate has a direct impact on the number of customers who we monitor and service and on our financial results, including revenue, operating income and cash flows. A portion of the customer base can be expected to cancel its service every year. We focus our investment decisions on generating new customers and servicing our existing customers in the most efficient cost-effective manner, while maintaining a high level of customer service to minimize attrition. These decisions are based on the projected cash flows and associated margins generated over the expected life of the customer relationship. Average net attrition rate is defined as the aggregate amount of canceled or reduced RMR during a period divided by the average total RMR during the measurement period. Customers are considered canceled when they terminate in accordance with the terms of their contract or are terminated by us. Certain customer re-signs and relocations are excluded from the attrition calculation. If a customer relocates and continues its service, we consider this as a cancellation but do not include such cancellation in our average net attrition rate calculation. Further, if a customer discontinues its service at a site and a new customer enters into a contract for service at the same site, we refer to this as a re-sign. We consider re-signs as cancellations, but do not include them in our average net attrition rate calculation.
We focus on managing the costs associated with monitoring and service without jeopardizing our service quality. We believe our ability to retain customers over the long-term relies on our ability to maintain our consistent superior service levels. Our ability to increase customers and customer revenue depends on a number of factors, both external and internal. External factors include the overall macroeconomic environment and the level of product and price competition from other companies in the markets we serve. Some of our current competitors have longer
18
operating histories, greater name recognition and substantially greater financial and marketing resources than us. In the future, other companies may also choose to begin offering bundled services similar to ours.
Internal factors affecting customer and customer revenue growth include our ability to maintain consistently high levels of customer satisfaction and invest in technologies to further enhance the attractiveness and value proposition of our solutions to current and potential customers. We will need to recruit, train and retain personnel and maintain the level of our investment in sales and marketing efforts. We believe maintaining competitive compensation structures, differentiated bundled product offerings and establishing a strong brand are critical to attracting and retaining high-quality personnel and competing effectively in the markets we serve. Successfully growing our ARPU also depends on our ability to continue expanding our technology platform by offering additional value added services demanded by the market and cross‑selling these additional services through our bundled service offering. Therefore, we continually evaluate the viability of additional service offerings that could further benefit from our existing technology platform. As of September 30, 2014, approximately 37.7% of our commercial customer sites subscribed to more than one service as a bundled service offering. ARPU increased to $102.08 as of September 30, 2014 from $79.48 at September 30, 2013, an increase of 28.4%, primarily due to the increase in new sites with bundled services that were installed during the period.
The table below presents our RMR and average net attrition data for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

Average net attrition rate | 9.1 | % | 11.7 | % | 10.4 | % | 10.3 | % |
We track customer growth by measuring new RMR added and total RMR as of the end of the period. Ending RMR for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $7.8 million compared to $8.3 million for the same period ended September 30, 2013. We sold $0.9 million of RMR in January 2014 related to the Transferred Assets. New RMR added was $0.9 million and canceled RMR was $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $1.1 million of new RMR and $0.7 million of canceled RMR for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
The increase in organic RMR sales during 2014 has contributed to higher Contracted Backlog as compared to 2013. We currently maintain a Contracted Backlog and sales pipeline that we believe will generate a steady, significant flow of new RMR through the end of 2014 and beyond. As of September 30, 2014, our sales pipeline was $14.7 million of RMR. Our installation revenue Contracted Backlog was $18.0 million and our RMR Contracted Backlog was $2.5 million with approximately one-third of the RMR Contracted Backlog expected to be installed in the fourth quarter of 2014.
The direct cost associated with creating new RMR (the "creation cost") includes fixed costs of sales engineering, marketing, sales overhead and operational overhead. Higher RMR installed during a period can reduce the creation cost by spreading the allocated fixed costs over a larger pool of RMR. The creation cost of new RMR decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2014 to 27.5x as compared to 41.7x for the three months ended September 30, 2013 due to the absorption of fixed direct costs over higher new RMR installed during the period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the creation cost increased to 41.4x from 36.4x for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as a result of the absorption of direct costs over less new RMR installed during the period.

How We Generate Revenue
Our primary source of revenue is recurring services revenue, generated through monitoring, maintenance and installation services provided to our customers in accordance with their customer contracts. Monitoring services for our customers are billed in advance, primarily monthly, pursuant to the terms of customer contracts. Revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term. At the end of each monthly period, the portion of monitoring fees related to services not yet provided are deferred and recognized in the period that these services are provided. Installation revenue represents upfront one-time charges billed to customers at the time of installation. Revenue on installation contracts is recognized upon completion and delivery of the installation in transactions where equipment is sold. For transactions in which we retain ownership of the system, any amounts collectible upfront are deferred and amortized over the longer of the average customer life or the initial term of the contract. Service and maintenance revenue represents our service and other revenue associated with selling customers equipment, and for maintenance and repair. Service revenue is billed, and the associated revenue recognized, when the services are performed. Maintenance revenue is billed and revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term. The remainder of our revenue is generated through products revenue and other services.
Costs and Expenses
Cost of Services and Products. Cost of services and products represent the cost of providing services and products to our customers. Cost of services includes costs associated with installation, service calls for customers who have maintenance contracts, costs of monitoring, central station expense, selling and marketing expense and the maintenance / repair of existing systems. Cost of products includes direct materials utilized in the installation of new systems along with wire, disposable stock and costs to deliver products.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses consist of accounting and finance, legal, collections, human resources, executive management, telephone, insurance, executive travel and other expenses related to the corporate administration of the Company. It also captures administrative labor, telecommunications, insurance and real estate lease expenses related to our regional service centers throughout the United States.
Amortization. Amortization expenses consist of amortization from intangible assets primarily related to acquired alarm monitoring contracts.
Depreciation. Depreciation expenses consist of depreciation from property and equipment and equipment leased under capital leases.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") requires management to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. We believe that our accounting policies for revenue recognition, accounts receivable and allowances, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, long-lived assets and intangible assets and income taxes are based on, among other things, judgments and assumptions made by management that include inherent risks and uncertainties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, there have been no significant changes to these policies or in the underlying accounting assumptions and estimates used in the above critical accounting policies. Critical accounting policies are detailed in the Company's Registration Statement.

Revenue
Total revenue decreased $0.1 million, or 0.4%, to $32.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared with the three months ended September 30, 2013.
Services revenue decreased $2.3 million, or 8.0%, to $26.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared with the three months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease was due primarily to a $2.8 million decline attributable to the Transferred Assets and $1.4 million of recognized deferred installation services offset by an increase of $1.4 million in installation services revenue and $0.7 million in monitoring services revenue.
Products revenue increased $2.2 million, or 65.4%, to $5.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared with the three months ended September 30, 2013 due primarily to an increase of $2.1 million in product installations related to the installation revenue Contracted Backlog.
21
Cost and Expenses
Total cost and expenses increased $2.0 million, or 5.1%, to $40.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared with the three months ended September 30, 2013.
Cost of services increased $3.1 million, or 13.5%, to $25.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared with the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in cost of services related to a $2.2 million increase in the installation of products and $0.3 million of new RMR added as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013. Increased expenses included a $1.5 million increase in wages and subcontractor labor, $1.4 million increase in RMR promotions, provisioning and customer transfer costs, $1.1 million increase in maintenance material expense, $0.3 million increase in monitoring and managed service expense and $0.6 million increase in other operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase was partially offset by a decrease of $1.9 million in cost of services related to the Transferred Assets.
Cost of products decreased $0.9 million, or 20.6%, to $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared with the three months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in cost of products is related to a decrease in maintenance material cost of $1.8 million offset by an increase in installation materials, net of capitalized installation materials, of $1.0 million associated with higher installation revenue and new RMR added during the three months ended September 30, 2014.
General and administrative expenses remained flat at $6.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared with the three months ended September 30, 2013. Transferred Assets resulted in a decrease of approximately $0.3 million offset by a $0.2 million increase in professional services and a $0.1 million increase in vehicle insurance expense.
Amortization expense decreased $0.3 million, or 12.2%, to $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared with the three months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to acquired alarm monitoring accounts reaching end of their amortizable life as of September 30, 2014.
Depreciation expense decreased $0.3 million, or 11.5%, to $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared with the three months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease was due primarily to the sale of the Transferred Assets in January 2014.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $0.1 million, or 1.9%, to $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared with the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase was due primarily to the additional debt borrowed during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 under our Revolving Credit Facility to fund growth.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes increased $1.0 million to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase was due primarily to the impact that the gain on sale of the Transferred Assets had on the projected annual loss for 2014. The effective tax rate increased from 1.53% at December 31, 2013 to 7.92% at September 30, 2014. The tax provision in future periods will vary based on current and future temporary differences, as well as future operating results.
Net Loss
Net loss increased $3.2 million, or 25.7%, to $15.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013 primarily as a result of the factors described above.

Total cost and expenses decreased $40.3 million, or 36.2%, to $70.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily related to the $39.7 million gain on the sale of the Transferred Assets.
Cost of services increased $0.8 million, or 1.2%, to $65.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in cost of services is due to $1.9 million increase in service materials related maintenance agreements, $1.2 million increase in wages and subcontractor labor, $0.5 million increase in vehicle lease expense, $0.8 million increase in RMR promotions, provisioning and customer transfer costs, $0.2 million increase in monitoring and managed service expense and a $1.2 million increase in other operating expenses partially offset by a $5.1 million decrease in costs associated with the sale of the Transferred Assets.
Cost of products decreased $2.6 million, or 21.2%, to $9.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in cost of products is related to a decrease in installation materials cost of $0.6 million as a result of lower product sales during the period and a $2.0 million decrease in service materials costs related to maintenance material expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
General and administrative expenses increased $1.9 million, or 10.5%, to $20.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was due primarily to $2.0 million of transaction costs related to the Transferred Assets and registering the exchange of the Senior Secured Notes. The Company also realized a decrease in expenses of $0.8 million related to the Transferred Assets offset by an increase of $0.6 million in legal and professional fees related to the registration of the exchange of the Senior Secured Notes.
Amortization expense decreased $0.6 million, or 8.6%, to $6.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to the end of amortizable life of acquired alarm monitoring accounts as of September 30, 2014.
Depreciation expense decreased $0.4 million, or 4.7%, to $7.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease was due primarily to the sale of the Transferred Assets in January 2014.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $0.5 million, or 2.8%, to $18.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase was due primarily to the additional debt borrowed under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) to fund growth during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 2013.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes decreased $0.5 million to $0.03 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease was due primarily to the impact that gain on sale of the Transferred Assets had on the projected annual loss for 2014. The effective tax rate fell from 1.53% at December 31, 2013 to (3.79)% at September 30, 2014. The tax provision in future periods will vary based on current and future temporary differences, as well as future operating results.
Net Loss
Net loss decreased $34.3 million to $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $35.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease is primarily related to the $39.7 million gain on the sale of the Transferred Assets and the other factors described above.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use certain financial measures, including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as supplemental measures of our operating performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. They are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. These measures are used in the internal management of our business, along with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, in evaluating our operating performance. In addition, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is consistent with the equivalent measurements that are contained in our Revolving Credit Facility and the indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes.
EBITDA represents net loss attributable to Interface Security Systems Holdings, Inc. before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted for gain or loss of sale of long-lived assets, gain on sale of Transferred Assets, loss on extinguishment of debt, sales and installation costs, net of sales and installation revenue, related to organic RMR growth, plus 50% of non-capitalized corporate and service center administrative costs related to organic RMR growth, less capitalized subscriber system assets. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA does not include any adjustments for expenses related to the sale of the Transferred Assets, the merger of The Greater Alarm Company, Inc. and Westec Acquisition Corp. into Interface Security Systems, L.L.C. in September 2013, financing of the Revolving Credit Facility or costs of preparing for the initial registration of the Senior Secured Notes. These expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively, and $2.6 million and $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Our measurement of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies and are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. We have included information concerning EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that such information is used by certain investors as supplemental measures of a company’s historical ability to service debt. We believe these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of high yield issuers, many of which present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA when reporting their results. Our presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of, our operating results or cash flows as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
• | they do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
• | they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; |
• | they do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt; |
• | although depreciation is a non-cash charge, the assets being depreciated will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; |
• | they are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows; and |
• | other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. |
Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA only for supplemental purposes. Please see our consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease was driven by lost service margins of $1.6 million attributable to the Transferred Assets. Adjusted EBITDA decreased $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This decrease was driven by an increase in general and administrative expense of $2.6 million related to an increase in costs incurred in connection with the sale of the Transferred Assets and preparation of the initial registration of the exchange of the Senior Secured Notes and a decrease of $1.6 million in recognized deferred installation revenue. Lost service margins attributable to the Transferred Assets decreased Adjusted EBITDA by $1.5 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013 after taking into consideration increased margins from new RMR created during 2013 and 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview of Our Contractual Obligations and Liquidity
Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash on hand and the Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2014, we had cash on hand of $43.7 million and $6.1 million of available borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility. We had working capital of $46.9 million as of September 30, 2014 and negative working capital of $13.2 million (excluding assets and liabilities held for sale) as of December 31, 2013 and used $39.7 million and $19.4 million of cash to fund our operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. If we were to cease our internal growth strategy and no longer invest in creating new RMR, we believe we would generate future positive cash flows that could be used to provide the Company with sufficient liquidity for operations and pay down of outstanding debt.
The following table provides a summary of cash flow data (in thousands):
Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||||||
2014 | 2013 | ||||||
Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (39,672 | ) | $ | (19,361 | ) | |
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities | 33,387 | (13,293 | ) | ||||
Net cash provided by financing activities | 49,606 | 32,175 |
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities increased by $20.3 million from $19.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $39.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
The increased use of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was primarily related to an increase in expected operating costs incurred during the period associated with the investment in technology and customer satisfaction needed to drive growth. The increase included a $6.6 million increase in prepaid expenses associated with current installations and future RMR growth, an increase in inventory of $6.5 million, an increase in accounts receivable of $3.1 million and accrued expenses of $2.5 million in connection with increased installations and RMR growth offset by a decrease in deferred revenue of $0.9 million related to the sale of the Transferred Assets. The timing of payments for accounts payable and an increase in net loss, excluding the gain on sale of Transferred Assets, contributed to approximately $2.9 million.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Our investing activities mainly consist of capital expenditures for subscriber system assets. Capital expenditures primarily consist of periodic additions to property and equipment to support the growth in our business.
Net cash from investing activities increased $46.7 million from $13.3 million of net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $33.4 million of net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase is primarily related to proceeds of approximately $40.7 million for the sale of the Transferred Assets, net of change in restricted cash, and a decrease of $3.6 million in subscriber system assets as a result of lower RMR during the period.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Our cash flows from financing activities are mainly used to fund the portion of upfront costs associated with generating new customers that are not covered through our operating cash flows and acquisitions.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, our net cash provided by financing activities was $49.6 million compared to $32.2 million of cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase is primarily related to the $71.6 million of cash received during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from Master Holdings as consideration for its purchase of shares of common stock of Holdings. We also redeemed all of the issued and outstanding shares of our Class G and Class F Preferred Stock and a portion of its Class E Preferred Stock and paid a cash dividend in an aggregate amount of approximately $27.3 million to the
27
stockholders as permitted under the indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes. This was offset by $5.5 million in draws on our Revolving Credit Facility to fund new RMR installations and working capital needs. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 reflect the issuance of $230.0 million of Senior Secured Notes that were used to repay outstanding debt and fees.
Current Indebtedness
Senior Secured Notes. On January 18, 2013, Holdings and Interface Systems issued $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes the proceeds of which were used to repay our then-existing indebtedness, which consisted of our prior revolving credit facility, our prior senior subordinated debt and the subordinated promissory note, for general corporate purposes and to pay related fees and expenses. The Senior Secured Notes are secured by second priority liens on substantially all of our and any guarantor’s assets, subject to certain exceptions. The obligations under the Senior Secured Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis by each of our future domestic restricted subsidiaries. The Senior Secured Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 9¼% per annum with interest payable semi-annually on July 15 and January 15 of each year, and mature on January 15, 2018. The Senior Secured Notes do not require us to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments; however, under certain circumstances related to a change of control or assets sales, we may be required to offer to purchase the Senior Secured Notes.
Revolving Credit Facility. Interface Systems, as borrower, and Holdings, as guarantor, entered into the $45.0 million Revolving Credit Facility on January 18, 2013, as amended on September 30, 2013 and May 16, 2014. The Revolving Credit Facility has an available borrowing capacity equal to the lesser of $45.0 million and 5 times eligible RMR. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on January 15, 2018. The Revolving Credit Facility includes a $1.0 million sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit, and the amount outstanding reduces the amount of available borrowing. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had $0.1 million and $0.1 million in letters of credit outstanding.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a floating rate per year equal to the higher of (A) the rate (adjusted for statutory reserve requirements for Eurocurrency liabilities) at which Eurodollar deposits are offered for a period equal to one, two, three, or six months, as quoted on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or any successor / similar page or service) as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the day that is two London banking days preceding the applicable interest determination date and (B) 0.50%, plus 3.25% (3.75% as of September 30, 2014).
The Revolving Credit Facility is subject to certain customary fees and expenses of the lenders and agents.
The Revolving Credit Facility provides that, upon the occurrence of certain events of default, our obligations thereunder may be accelerated and any lending commitments terminated. Such events of default include payment defaults to the lenders, material inaccuracies of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross‑defaults to other material indebtedness, voluntary and involuntary bankruptcy proceedings, material money judgments, certain change of control events and other customary events of default.
The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a first priority perfected lien on all of the same assets that secure our Senior Secured Notes.
On September 30, 2014, our available borrowing capacity was $38.2 million, of which $32.0 million was drawn and $6.1 million was available for borrowing. We expect that new RMR growth during 2014 will provide additional borrowing capacity availability under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Restrictive Covenants. The indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes and the credit agreement governing our Revolving Credit Facility contain a number of covenants imposing significant restrictions on our business. These restrictions may affect our ability to operate our business and may limit our ability to take advantage of potential business opportunities as they arise. The restrictions these covenants place on us include limitations on our and any restricted subsidiaries' ability to (subject to certain exceptions):
• | transfer or sell assets or use asset sale proceeds; |
• | incur or guarantee additional debt or issue redeemable or preferred equity securities; |
• | pay dividends, redeem equity or subordinated debt or make other restricted payments; |
• | make certain investments; |
• | create or incur liens on assets; |
• | incur or permit dividend or other payment restrictions affecting any restricted subsidiaries; |
28
• | enter into transactions with affiliates; |
• | merge, consolidate or transfer all or substantially all assets; and |
• | engage in a business other than a business that is the same or similar to our current business and reasonably related businesses. |
In addition, the credit agreement governing the Revolving Credit Facility contains financial covenants including a covenant not to exceed a revolving facility usage to eligible RMR ratio of 5.0 to 1.0, a covenant to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage of at least 1.25 to 1.0 and a covenant not to exceed 13.0% gross attrition at any time.
As of September 30, 2014, we were in compliance with the applicable restrictive covenants under our debt agreements, and we expect to remain in compliance for at least the next twelve months.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. We are currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, ("ASU 2014-15"). ASU 2014-15 is intended to provide guidance about management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Management is required under the new guidance to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued when preparing financial statements for each interim and annual reporting period. If conditions or events are identified, the ASU specifies the process that must be followed by management and also clarifies the timing and content of going concern footnote disclosures in order to reduce diversity in practice. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-15 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Other than operating leases, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2014.
Contractual Obligations
Since June 30, 2014, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations as discussed in the Registration Statement.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are subject to market risk from interest rate fluctuations on our outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a floating rate per year equal to the higher of (A) the rate (adjusted for statutory reserve requirements for Eurocurrency liabilities) at which Eurodollar deposits are offered for a period equal to one, two, three, or six months, as quoted on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or any successor / similar page or service) as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the day that is two London banking days preceding the applicable interest determination date and (B) 0.50%, plus 3.25% (3.75% as of September 30, 2014). As a result, we will be exposed to fluctuations in interest rates to the extent of our borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. A hypothetical 10% increase in the interest rates we pay on our borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2014 would result in an increase of approximately $3.2 million per year. The hypothetical changes and assumptions may be different from what actually occurs in the future.
29
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Based upon, and as of the date of that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter of 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

The offer and sale of Holdings’ common stock was made in reliance on the private placement exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Section 4(2) thereof and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The offer and sale of Holdings’ common stock was conducted without general solicitation or general advertising, the purchaser represented that it was an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D, and the purchaser represented that the common stock was acquired for its own account and not with a view to resale or distribution. The common stock issued to the purchaser also contained appropriate restricted stock legends.
