PART I
 
ITEM 1.    Business.
 
ScanSource Inc. (“ScanSource” or the “Company”), incorporated in 1992, is a leading wholesale distributor of specialty technology products, providing both value-added distribution sales to technology resellers and e-logistics services to specialty technology markets. The business consists of three reporting segments – North American distribution, international distribution and ChannelMax. The North American distribution segment markets automatic data capture (“ADC”) and point-of-sale (“POS”) products through its ScanSource sales unit, business telephone and converged communications equipment through its Catalyst Telecom sales unit and converged communications products through its Paracon sales unit. The international distribution segment markets ADC and POS products in Latin America and Europe. The third segment, ChannelMax, provides web order entry and logistics services. See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements of the Company for financial information concerning the Company’s reporting segments and the geographic areas in which the Company operates. See Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements of the Company for information concerning the Company’s acquisitions of Positive ID Wholesale in July 2001, Outsourcing Unlimited in September 2001, Netpoint International in November 2001, and ABC Technology Distribution in May 2002.
 
North American Distribution Segment
 
ScanSource Sales Unit
 
The ScanSource sales team markets ADC and POS products which interface with computer systems used to automate the collection, processing and communication of information for commercial and industrial applications, including retail sales, distribution, shipping, inventory control, materials handling and warehouse management. The bar code family of products is referred to as automatic data capture because it includes all types of portable data collection terminals, wireless products and bar code label printers, in addition to scanners. POS products are those PC-based products that have replaced electronic cash registers in retail and hospitality environments.
 
ScanSource vendors include most of the leading ADC and POS manufacturers, including Cherry Electrical, Citizen, Cognitive Solutions, Datamax, Elo, Epson America, Hand Held Products, IBM, Intermec, Ithaca Peripherals, Javelin, Magtek, Metrologic, Micro-Touch Systems, MMF Cash Drawer, Monarch Marking Systems, NCR, Pioneer, PSC, StrandWare, Symbol Technologies, 3M and Zebra Technologies.
 
Catalyst Telecom Sales Unit
 
The Catalyst Telecom sales team markets business telephone systems and is a distributor of Avaya voice, data and converged communications solutions, including Avaya Enterprise, Express and IP (internet protocol) products. Catalyst Telecom also markets products complementary to the Avaya product line from vendors including Adtran, Bogen, MCK Communications, Panamax, Plantronics and Polycom.
 
Paracon Sales Unit
 
The Paracon sales team markets business communications systems – specifically converged communications and computer telephony integration products from Intel. Converged communications products combine traditional voice technologies with data technologies to deliver business communications solutions that combine computers, telecommunications and the Internet.
 
International Distribution Segment
 
The Company’s international distribution segment markets ADC and POS products exclusively to technology resellers and integrators in the Latin American and European markets. Key vendors include most of the same vendors that supply the ScanSource sales unit of the North American distribution segment.
 
The international distribution segment commenced operations in November 2001, when the Company acquired a majority interest in Netpoint International, a Miami-based distributor of ADC and POS equipment to the Latin American market. In January 2002, the Company commenced operations in Europe with the establishment of a warehouse and sales office in Liege, Belgium. In May 2002, the Company purchased ABC Technology Distribution, a distributor of ADC and POS products based in the United Kingdom, allowing the Company to expand its European operations and expand its sales to former ABC customers in the United Kingdom.
 
See “Risks Attendant to Forward Looking Statements” below and Exhibit 99.1 to this report for a discussion of certain risks

relating to the Company’s international operations.
 
ChannelMax Segment
 
ChannelMax is the segment that provides real-time inventory availability and web catalog, order entry, order tracking and logistics for manufacturers and others in specialty technology markets. Currently ChannelMax has contracts to provide its logistics services for manufacturers such as Avaya and Symbol and resellers such as Expanets, which is the largest nationwide phone reseller.
 
Products and Markets
 
The Company currently markets over 23,000 products from over 60 hardware and software vendors from its central warehouse in Memphis, Tennessee to over 13,000 reseller customers.
 
ADC technology incorporates the capabilities for electronic recognition and data processing without the need for manual input and consists of a wide range of products, including bar code printers and labeling devices, contact wands, light pens, hand-held and fixed-mount laser scanners, mobile and wireless data collection devices, keyboard wedges, and magnetic stripe readers. As ADC technology has become more pervasive, applications have evolved from traditional uses such as inventory control, materials handling, distribution, shipping and warehouse management to more advanced applications such as medical research. POS products include those computer-based systems that have replaced electronic cash registers in grocery, retail, and hospitality environments. POS product lines include computer-based terminals, monitors, receipt printers, pole displays, cash drawers, keyboards, peripheral equipment and fully integrated processing units. Business telephone products include private branch exchanges (PBXs), key systems, telephone handsets and cabling and computer telephony components used in voice, fax, data, voice recognition, call center management and IP telephony applications. Converged communication products combine voice, fax, conferencing, and speech technologies to deliver communications solutions that combine computers, telecommunications and the Internet. Converged communications products include telephone and IP network interfaces, PBX integration products and carrier-class board systems-level products.
 
Industry Overview
 
The distribution channels for specialty technology products generally consist of manufacturers, wholesale distributors such as ScanSource, resellers and end-users. In recent years, these distribution channels have evolved through three stages: (i) direct sales by manufacturers to end-users; (ii) single-tier distribution in which manufacturers sell to resellers who, in turn, sell directly to end-users; and (iii) two-tier, or wholesale distribution, in which manufacturers sell to wholesale distributors, including ScanSource, who sell only to resellers who, in turn, sell directly to end-users.
 
Currently, the wholesale distribution channel is highly fragmented and is comprised of several large national distributors and many smaller regional distributors. Large national distributors are engaged primarily in conventional order fulfillment and typically offer few value-added services, while small regional distributors are limited in the scale and scope of their operations and services.
 
Competition among an expanding number of manufacturers has caused product prices to decrease and product applications to expand, which has resulted in an increasing number of resellers entering the market in order to support a broader base of potential end-users. As the number of resellers and end-users has grown, competition among manufacturers and within the reseller channel has intensified, resulting in a less orderly market structure. As a result of the transition of specialty technology products to open-systems (whereby a variety of manufacturers’ products can be configured together to create a system solution), both manufacturers and resellers have become more dependent upon wholesale distributors such as ScanSource for the organization and maintenance of an efficient market structure.
 
In addition, manufacturers that face declining product prices and rising costs of direct sales increasingly rely upon value-added wholesale distributors by outsourcing certain support functions, such as product assortment, delivery, inventory management, technical assistance and marketing. At the same time, shortened product life cycles and the introduction of new products and applications have caused resellers increasingly to rely on wholesale distributors for various inventory management, financing, technical support and related functions. The Company believes that as the reseller market grows and becomes more fragmented, and as specialty technology products continue to transition to open systems, the wholesale distribution channel in which the Company operates will become increasingly more important.

Vendors
 
The Company’s merchandising department recruits vendors and manages important aspects of its vendor relationships, such as purchasing arrangements, cooperative marketing initiatives, vendor sales force relationships, product training and the monitoring of rebate programs and various contract terms and conditions. The Company generally enters into non-exclusive distribution agreements with vendors. These agreements typically provide the Company with stock rotation and price protection provisions that may mitigate the risk of loss from slow moving inventory, vendor price reductions, product updates or obsolescence. Some of these distribution agreements contain minimum purchase requirements that the Company must meet in order to receive preferential prices. The distribution agreements are generally terminable on 30 to 120 days notice by either party.
 
Customers
 
The Company’s reseller customers currently include over 13,000 active value-added reseller accounts (“VARs”) located in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Latin America and Europe. The largest customer accounted for less than 5% of the Company’s total net sales in fiscal 2002. The Company targets two types of reseller customers:
 
Specialty Technology VARs.
 
These resellers focus on selling specialty technology products as tailored software or integrated hardware solutions for their end-users’ existing applications or incorporating specialty technology products into customized technology solutions for their end-users. Primary industries served by these resellers include manufacturing, distribution, health care, pharmaceuticals, hospitality, convenience, grocery and other retail markets.
 
General or PC VARs.
 
These resellers develop computer solutions for their end-users’ microcomputer needs. They typically have well-established relationships with end-user management information system directors and are seeking additional revenue and profit opportunities in related technology markets, such as ADC, POS or telephony.
 
Sales and Electronic Commerce
 
The Company’s 110-member sales department consists primarily of inside sales representatives located in South Carolina, Arizona, California, Georgia, Florida, New Jersey, New York, and Washington and in Belgium, Canada, France, and the United Kingdom. In order to build strong customer relationships, each active reseller is assigned to a sales representative. Each sales representative negotiates pricing directly with his assigned customers. The Company also employs several product managers who are responsible for developing technical expertise within broad product markets, evaluating competitive markets, and reviewing overall product and service requirements of resellers. Each sales representative and product manager receives comprehensive training with respect to the technical characteristics of each vendor’s products. This training is supplemented by quarterly product seminars conducted by vendors’ representatives and bi-weekly meetings among product managers, marketing and sales representatives.
 
Increasingly, customers rely upon the Company’s electronic ordering and information systems, in addition to its product catalogs and frequent mailings, as sources for product information, including availability and price. Through the Company’s website, most customers can gain remote access to the Company’s information systems to check real-time product availability, see their customized pricing and place orders. Customers can also follow the status of their orders and obtain UPS and FedEx package tracking numbers from this site.
 
Marketing
 
The Company provides a range of marketing services, including cooperative advertising with vendors through trade publications and direct mail, a product catalog which is published three times a year, periodic newsletters, management of sales leads, trade shows with software companies and vendors, direct mail and sales promotions. In addition, the Company organizes and operates its own seminars teaming with top vendors to recruit prospective resellers and introduce new applications for the specialty technology products it distributes. The Company frequently customizes its marketing services for vendors and resellers.

Value-Added Services
 
In addition to the basic order fulfillment and credit services that conventional wholesale distributors typically provide to resellers, the Company differentiates itself by providing an array of value-added services, including the following:
 
Pre-Sale Technical Support
 
Technical support personnel assist the reseller with system configurations as the order is placed. Pre-sale support also includes testing products to ensure their compatibility with other products and applications.
 
Post-Sale Technical Support
 
Technical support personnel also assist sales representatives and customers in diagnosing and solving technical, configuration or compatibility issues which may arise after the sale. Technical support personnel will, if necessary, serve as liaisons or advocates between the manufacturers and the resellers.
 
Shipping Options
 
Product managers and technical support personnel work together to select specific compatible products and continually develop “solution kits” or bundles to better meet the reseller’s needs. Resellers have come to trust the Company’s shipping accuracy and reliability to the extent that many no longer hold their own inventory.
 
Operations
 
Information System
 
The Company’s information system is a highly scalable, centralized processing system capable of supporting numerous operational functions including purchasing, receiving, order processing, shipping, inventory management and accounting. Sales representatives rely on the information system for on-line, real-time information on product pricing, inventory availability and reservation, and order status. The Company’s warehouse operations use bar code technology for receiving and shipping, and automated UPS and FedEx systems for freight processing and shipment tracking, each of which is integrated with the Company’s information system. The customer service and technical support departments employ the system for documentation and faster processing of customer product returns. To ensure that adequate inventory levels are maintained, the Company’s buyers depend on the system’s purchasing and receiving functions to track inventory on a continual basis.
 
Central Warehouse and Shipping
 
The Company’s 233,000 square foot warehouse facility, located approximately eight miles from the FedEx hub facility in Memphis, Tennessee, serves all of North America. The Company believes that its centralized distribution creates several advantages, including: (i) a reduced amount of “safety stock” inventory which, in turn, reduces the Company’s working capital borrowings; (ii) an increased turnover rate through tighter controls over inventory; (iii) maintenance of a consistent order-fill rate; (iv) improved personnel productivity; (v) improved delivery time; (vi) simplified purchasing and tracking; (vii) decreased demand for management personnel; and (viii) flexibility to meet customer needs for systems integration.
 
The Company’s objective is to ship on the same day all orders received by 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Orders are currently processed in the central warehouse, where bar code technology is utilized to expedite shipments and minimize shipping errors. The Company also has an automated package handling system used to send products from the picking area to invoicing stations. Upon fulfillment of the order, the package is immediately shipped to the reseller or “drop-shipped” to an end-user specified by the reseller by FedEx or UPS. The Company charges its customers local ground delivery rates for this overnight service.
 
Credit Services
 
The Company routinely offers 20-day credit terms for qualified resellers. The Company believes this policy eliminates the customer’s need to establish multiple credit relationships with a large number of manufacturers.

5


Competition
 
The markets in which the Company operates, as identified above, are highly competitive. Competition is based primarily on factors such as price, product availability, speed and accuracy of delivery, effectiveness of sales and marketing programs, credit availability, ability to tailor specific solutions to customer needs, quality and breadth of product lines and services, and availability of technical and product information. The Company’s competitors include regional and national wholesale distributors, as well as hardware manufacturers (including most of the Company’s vendors) that sell directly to resellers and to end-users. In addition, the Company competes with master resellers that sell to franchisees, third-party dealers and end-users. Certain of the Company’s current and potential competitors have greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than the Company and may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. Such competition could also result in price reductions, reduced margins and loss of market share by the Company.
 
Employees
 
As of June 30, 2002, the Company had 692 employees, none of whom was a member of an industry trade union or collective bargaining unit. The Company considers its employee relations to be good.
 
Service Marks
 
The Company conducts its business under the trademarks and service marks “ScanSource”, “Catalyst Telecom”, and “Paracon”. The Company has been issued registrations for the marks “ScanSource” and “Catalyst Telecom” in the United States and Canada. The Company is also pursuing registrations of its trademark and service marks “ChannelMax” and “Paracon” in the United States and the registration of its trademark and service mark “ScanSource” in Europe and Latin America. The Company does not believe that its operations are dependent upon any of its trademarks or service marks. The Company also sells products and provides services under various trademarks, service marks and trade names to which reference is made in this report that are the property of owners other than the Company. Such owners have reserved all rights with respect to their respective trademarks, service marks and trade names.
 
Risks Attendant to Forward Looking Statements
 
Certain of the statements contained in this PART I, Item 1 (Business) and, by reference, in PART II, Item 7 (Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) and Item 7A (Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks) of this Annual Report on Form 10-K that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements subject to the safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company cautions readers of this Annual Report on Form 10-K that a number of important factors could cause the Company’s activities and/or actual results in fiscal 2003 and beyond to differ materially from those expressed in any such forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation, the Company’s dependence on vendors, product supply, senior management, information systems and other centralized functions, and third-party shippers, its ability to compete successfully in a highly competitive market and manage significant additions in personnel and increases in working capital, its entry into new product markets, through recent acquisitions and otherwise, with which it has no prior experience, its susceptibility to quarterly fluctuations in net sales and operating results, its ability to successfully manage price protection or stock rotation opportunities associated with inventory value decreases, exposure to regulations applicable to foreign markets and to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and other factors described in Exhibit 99.1 to this report and in other reports and documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
ITEM 2.    Properties.
 
The Company owns a 70,000 square foot building in Greenville, South Carolina in which its principal executive and sales offices are located. The Company currently occupies over 63,000 square feet of that building for its own use, and leases the remainder of the building to third parties until additional space is required for its needs. The Company owns a 233,000 square foot distribution center in Memphis, Tennessee. The Company’s 20,000 square foot warehouse in Toronto, Canada is no longer used, but is leased through January 2003. The Company leases 16,000 square feet of office and distribution center space in Miami, Florida and 10,000 square feet of office and warehouse space in Hull, England. The Company also leases a variable amount of office and distribution center space in Liege, Belgium. The Company leases small sales offices of 5,400 square feet or less in each of Lake Forest, California; Norcross, Georgia; Union, New Jersey; Buffalo, New York; Bellingham, Washington; Mendota Heights, Minnesota; Tempe, Arizona; Mexico City, Mexico; and Vancouver, Canada. Management believes the Company’s office and warehouse facilities are adequate to support its operations at their current levels and for the foreseeable future.
