9. | Restricted Stock, Stock Options and Other Stock Plans |
Effective July, 1, 2002, the Company adopted the fair value method of recording stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which is considered the preferable accounting method for stock-based employee compensation. Historically, the Company had elected to follow the Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation issued to Employees (APB 25) and related Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock-based compensation. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for stock option plans in the past. The Company has elected to follow the prospective method and all employee awards granted, modified or settled after July 1, 2002 will be expensed over the vesting period based on the fair value at the date the stock-based compensation is granted. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share as if the fair value based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each period.

10. | Credit Facility and Bank Debt |
On October 7, 2002, the Company entered into a three year, $35 million credit facility with Fleet Capital Corporation (the Fleet Agreement). The Fleet Agreement provides for revolving borrowings up to $35 million based upon the Companys eligible domestic accounts receivable and inventory as defined therein. Borrowings under the Fleet Agreement accrue interest based upon a variety of interest rate options depending upon the computation of availability as defined therein. The interest rates range from the prime rate to the prime rate plus a margin of .5%, or the Federal funds rate plus a margin of .5%, or LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 2% to 2.75%. The Company is also subject to a commitment fee ranging from .25% to .5% on the unused portion of the facility. Interest is payable monthly. Borrowings under the Fleet Agreement are secured by substantially all domestic assets of the Company and 65% of each of the Companys shares in its foreign subsidiaries, respectively. The Fleet Agreement matures on October 7, 2005.

Credit Facility and Bank Debt (Continued)
The Fleet Agreement also contains certain covenants which, among other things, requires that if the Companys availability is less than $5 million at any time during the agreement, the Company must restrict or limit capital expenditures and advances to the Companys Latin American subsidiaries. Also, if the $5 million threshold is breached, the Fleet Agreement requires the maintenance of certain levels of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, requires maintenance of minimum fixed charge coverage ratio beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2004, and requires the maintenance of minimum tangible net worth, as defined, of negative $5 million. Based upon the Companys experience in fiscal 2002 and through the date of entering into the Fleet Agreement, the Company would have had at least $5 million in availability under the Fleet Agreement. As of May 7, 2003, the Companys availability under the Fleet Agreement was $10.3 million. Average borrowings, maximum borrowings and the weighted average interest rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 were $14.7 million, $19.1 million and 3.74%, respectively. Average borrowings, maximum borrowings and the weighted average interest rate from October 7, 2002 through March 31, 2003 were $15.7 million, $23.7 million and 3.96%, respectively.
At March 31, 2003, the Company would not have been in compliance with certain financial covenants under the Fleet Agreement had it breached the $5 million availability threshold. In the future, if the Company were to breach the $5 million threshold and fail to comply with the required financial covenants, Fleet may declare an event of default and could demand repayment of all outstanding borrowings and discontinue the agreement. If Fleet were to declare an event of default, the Companys liquidity and business operations could be adversely affected. Full details of the Fleet Agreement are reported on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2002.
Until October 2002, the Company had a credit agreement with Wachovia Bank N.A. (Wachovia), which provided for borrowings under a line of credit of up to $25 million and $35 million at June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Wachovia credit agreement was secured by accounts receivable and inventory of SED International, Inc. and required maintenance of certain minimum working capital and other financial ratios and had certain dividend restrictions. The Company was able to borrow at Wachovias prime rate (5.25% at September 30, 2002) plus .50% or the Company could fix the interest rate for periods of 30 to 180 days under various interest rate options. The credit agreement required a commitment fee of .50% of the unused commitment and expired November 1, 2002. Average borrowings, maximum borrowings and the weighted average interest rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 were $6.2 million, $13.6 million and 5.25%, respectively. Average borrowings, maximum borrowings and the weighted average interest rate for the six months ended December 31, 2002 were $3.2 million, $13.6 million and 5.25%, respectively. At September 30, 2002 the Company was in technical default with certain covenants under the Wachovia credit agreement; however, Wachovia and the Company subsequently waived the covenant violations and amended the agreement to achieve compliance.
The Companys subsidiary, SED International do Brasil Distribuidora Ltda. operates under line of credit agreements with several Brazilian banks. Interest rates on borrowings are negotiated at the time of borrowing. The credit agreements are secured by the subsidiarys accounts receivable and require the maintenance of certain financial ratios. At March 31, 2003, the Company had $13,000 as compared to $2.4 million at June 30, 2002 of borrowings outstanding under these facilities. The weighted average monthly interest rate under these loan agreements for the nine month period ended March 31, 2003 was approximately 2.13%.

11. | Recently Issued Accounting Standards |
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 142 (SFAS 142), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS 142 requires companies to cease amortizing goodwill that existed at June 30, 2001 and established a new method for testing goodwill for impairment on an annual basis (or an interim basis if an event occurs that might reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.) Any goodwill resulting from acquisitions completed after June 30, 2001 will not be amortized. SFAS 142 also requires that an identifiable intangible asset that is determined to have an indefinite useful economic life not be amortized, but separately tested for impairment using a fair value based approach. The Company adopted SFAS 142 as of July 1, 2001. However, the Company did not complete the required transitional impairment tests until the second quarter ended December 31, 2001. During the three-month period ended December 31, 2001, the Company tested goodwill arising from a prior business combination of an enterprise based in Argentina as of July 1, 2001 primarily utilizing a valuation technique relying on the expected present value of future cash flows. As a result of this valuation process as well as the application of the remaining provisions of SFAS 142, the Company recorded a pre-tax transitional impairment loss of $6,372,000, representing the write-off of all of the Companys existing goodwill. This write-off was reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, on a net of tax basis, as of July 1, 2001 in the Companys Consolidated Statement of Operations for the six-month period ended December 31, 2001. The quarter ended September 30, 2001 was restated to reflect the implementation of SFAS 142 effective July 1, 2001. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 142 on July 2001, the Company amortized this goodwill over an estimated useful life of 30 years.
In July 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS 146). SFAS 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies the Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring. SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred, whereas EITF 94-3 had required recognition of the liability at the commitment date to an exit plan. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of SFAS 146 effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 146 had no material impact on the Companys financial statements.
Effective July 1, 2002, the Company adopted the fair value method defined in SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. (SFAS No. 123). In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation- Transition and Disclosure - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123. For information regarding the adoption of the fair value method defined in SFAS No. 123, refer to Note 9.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company, from time to time, makes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements reflect the expectations of management of the Company at the time such statements are made. The reader can identify such forward-looking statements by the use of words such as may, will, should, expects, plans, anticipates, believes, estimates, predicts, intend(s), potential, continue, or the negative of such terms, or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements also include the assumptions underlying or relating to any of the foregoing statements.
Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors including, but not limited to, those set forth under Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results below. All forward-looking statements included in this Report on Form 10-Q are based on information available to the Company on the date hereof. The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
Overview
The Company is an international distributor of microcomputer products, including personal computers, printers and other peripherals, supplies, networking products and wireless telephone products, serving value-added resellers and dealers throughout the United States and Latin America.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
General. Managements discussion and analysis of the Companys financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Companys consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to vendor programs and incentives, bad debts, inventories, investments and income taxes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with the guidance of Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. The Company recognizes revenue for products sold at the time shipment occurs and collection of the resulting receivable is deemed probable by the Company. The Company allows its customers to return product for exchange or credit subject to certain limitations. Provision for estimated losses on such returns are recorded at the time of sale. Funds received from vendors for product rebates are accounted for as a reduction of product cost. Shipping and handling revenues are included in net sales and shipping costs are included in cost of sales.
Commitments and Contingencies. During the ordinary course of business, contingencies arise resulting from an existing condition, situation, or set of circumstances involving uncertainty as to possible gain, a gain contingency, or loss contingency, that will ultimately be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Resolution of the uncertainty may confirm the acquisition of an asset or the reduction of a liability or the loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability. When loss contingencies exist, such as, but not limited to, pending or threatened litigation, actual or possible claims
16
and assessments, collect ability of receivables or obligations related to product warranties and product defects or statutory obligations, the likelihood of the future event or events occurring generally will confirm the loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability. The Company accounts for such contingencies in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5.
Bad Debts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. On a monthly basis the Company applies a reserve calculation based on the aging of its receivables and either increases or decreases its estimate of doubtful accounts accordingly. If the financial condition of the Companys customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. The Company maintains credit insurance for its significant customers.
Inventory. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Most of the Companys vendors allow for either return of goods within a specified period (usually 90 days) or for credits related to price protection. However, for other vendor relationships and inventories, the Company is not protected from the risk of inventory loss. Therefore, in determining the net realizable value of inventories, the Company identifies slow moving or obsolete inventories that (1) are not protected by our vendor agreements from risk of loss, and (2) are not eligible for return under various vendor return programs. Based upon these factors, the Company estimates the net realizable value of inventories and records any necessary adjustments as a charge to cost of sales. If inventory return privileges or price protection programs were discontinued in the future, or if vendors were unable to honor the provisions of certain contracts which protect the Company from inventory losses, the risk of loss associated with obsolete and slow moving inventories would increase.
Foreign Currency Translation. The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, with related translation gains or losses reported as a separate component of shareholders equity. The results of foreign operations are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the year. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the statement of operations.
Results of Discontinued Operations
In February 2003, the Company approved a plan to discontinue commercial operations of its Brazilian subsidiary, SED International do Brasil Distribuidora, Ltda.. As a result, SED International do Brasil Distribuidora, Ltda. was reported as a disposal of a segment of business in the third quarter 2003. Accordingly, the operating results of SED International do Brasil Distribuidora, Ltda. have been classified as a discontinued operation for all periods presented in the Companys consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, the Company has reported all of SED International do Brasil Distribuidora, Ltda. assets at their estimated net realizable values in the Companys condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2003 in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30.
At March 31, 2003, SED International do Brasil Distribuidora, Ltda. had assets of $49,000 and third party liabilities of $938,000. The assets include cash of $32,000 and rental deposits of $17,000. Liabilities include accounts payable related to inventory purchases of $785,000, accrued salaries and taxes of $47,000, retirement contributions of $48,000 and other miscellaneous accrued liabilities of $58,000.
SED International do Brasil Distribuidora, Ltda. has been transitioned from a commercial operating company into dormancy.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2003 and 2002
Revenues. Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2003 decreased 14.8% to $94.4 million as compared to $110.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. Microcomputer product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2003 decreased 18.3% to $85.7 million as compared to $105.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The decline in microcomputer product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was primarily due to the overall general decline in the economy coupled with continued pricing pressures in the market. Wireless telephone revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2003 increased 50.9% to $8.5 million as compared to $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The increase in wireless revenues over the prior year quarter is primarily due to expanded product lines and distribution rights.

Domestic revenues decreased $10.0 million to $72.6 million or 12.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to $82.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The decrease is attributed to a decline in hard drive and CPU sales offset by the increase in the Companys wireless product lines.
The decline in the U.S. export sales was due primarily to lower sales of printers and printer consumables. Sales of microcomputer products represented approximately 90.7% of the Companys third quarter net sales compared to 94.6% for the same period last year. Sales of wireless telephone products accounted for approximately 8.9% of the Companys third quarter net sales compared to 5.0% for the same period last year.
The increase in sales in Latin America was principally due to the improving economies in both Argentina and Colombia.
During the three months ended March 31, 2003, one single customer accounted for approximately 10% of the Companys total revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, one customer accounted for 14.1% of the Companys total revenue. There can be no assurance that significant customers will continue to purchase products from the Company at current levels in the future, and the loss of one or more of these significant customers could have a material adverse affect on the Companys business, financial condition or results of operations.
Gross Profit Margins. Gross profit margin was $3.8 million or 4.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to $4.8 million or 4.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The decrease in the gross profit margin is primarily a result of lower margin sales and overall pricing pressures in the market. The Companys margins may be affected by several factors including (i) the mix of products sold, (ii) the price of products sold and provided and (iii) increased competition.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 5.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to 4.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2002. During the quarter ended March 2003, the Company recorded termination charges related to a reduction in force of approximately $258,000 and facility reserves of $250,000 for excess space in its Miami warehouse. These expenses were partially offset by a reduction in the companys medical insurance and other reserves of $203,000 and the reduction of the Companys amortization expense associated with the cancellation of previously granted stock awards of $90,000.
Depreciation. Depreciation expense was $375,000 and $469,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
19
Foreign Currency Transaction. Foreign currency transaction losses for the three months ended March 31, 2003 were $138,000 as compared to $17,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002.
Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net was $96,000 and $79,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase in interest expense is related to increased borrowings under the Companys credit facility.
Provision for Income Taxes. Income tax expense was approximately $79,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to $137,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The provision is primarily related to income generated by the Companys Latin American subsidiaries.
Nine Months Ended March 31, 2003 and 2002
Revenues. Total revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 decreased approximately 1.8% to $318.5 million as compared to $324.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2002. Microcomputer product sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 decreased 7.5% to $284.7 million as compared to $307.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2002. The decrease in microcomputer product sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 was due primarily to increased competition, pricing pressures and the overall decline in the economy. Wireless telephone revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 increased 105% to $32.8 million as compared to $16.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2002. The increase in wireless revenues is primarily due to expanded product lines and distribution channels.

Although total revenues for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2003 declined $6.0 million or 1.8%, the Company has experienced a shift in its domestic and international revenues from the same period last year. Domestic revenues accounted for approximately 78.0% of overall sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 compared to 73.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 2002 while international revenues accounted for 22.1% and 26.4% for the periods ending March 31, 2003 and 2002 respectively.
Domestic revenues increased $9.6 million to $248.3 million or 4.0% for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to $238.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2002. The increase is attributed to the development of additional distribution channels for the Companys wireless product lines offset by slower demand of microcomputer products.
The decline in the U.S. export sales was due primarily to lower sales of printers and printer consumables. Sales of microcomputer products represented approximately 89.4% of the Companys sales for the nine month period ending March 31, 2003 as compared to 94.7% for the same period last year. Sales of wireless telephone products accounted for approximately 10.3% of the Companys sales for the nine month period ending March 31, 2003 as compared to 4.9% for the same period last year.
20
The decrease in revenues in Latin America was principally due to lower sales to customers in Argentina and Colombia associated with more stringent credit standards, a change in sales pricing policies and the decline in the Argentine economy as a whole.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2003, no one single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Companys total revenue. For the nine months ended March 31, 2002, one customer accounted for 13.7% of the Companys total revenue. There can be no assurance that significant customers will continue to purchase products from the Company at current levels in the future, and the loss of one or more of these significant customers could have a material adverse affect on the Companys business, financial condition or results of operations.
Gross Profit Margins. Gross profit margin was $14.6 million or 4.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 compared to $15.7 million or 4.8% for the nine months ended March 31, 2002. The decrease in the gross profit margin is primarily a result of lower margin sales and overall pricing pressures in the market. The Companys margins may be affected by several factors including (i) the mix of products sold, (ii) the price of products sold and provided and (iii) increased competition.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $13.7 million and $15.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 4.3% for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to 4.8% for the nine months ended March 31, 2002. The decrease is primarily due to the Companys ongoing efforts to reduced employee costs and general overhead expenses
Depreciation. Depreciation expense was $1.2 million and $1.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Foreign Currency Transaction. Foreign currency transaction loss was $621,000 as compared to a gain of ($214,000) for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net was $419,000 and $106,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. This is directly related to the increase in borrowings under the Fleet Agreement.
Other Income. Other income for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 was $512,932. In December, 2002, the Company entered into a confidential settlement agreement for claims arising out of a disagreement with a former insurance broker. The favorable proceeds were recorded net of attorneys fees of $96,420.
Provision for Income Taxes. Income tax expense was approximately $519,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to $407,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2002. The provision is primarily related to income generated by the Companys Latin American subsidiaries.

Financial Condition and Liquidity
Overview. At March 31, 2003 the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $5.6 million. At March 31, 2003, the Companys principal source of liquidity is its $5.6 million of cash and borrowings available under its revolving credit facility. The Companys availability under the Fleet Agreement was $10.3 million on May 7, 2003. Historically, the Company has financed its liquidity needs largely through internally generated funds, borrowings under a revolving credit agreement, subsidiary bank credit agreements, and vendor lines of credit. In October 2002, the Company entered into a three year, $35 million credit facility with Fleet Capital Corporation, which was used in part to pay off the Wachovia Bank borrowings. The Company derives all of its operating income and cash flow from its subsidiaries and relies on such cash flows to satisfy its obligations on a consolidated basis. As the Company continues operations in Latin America, management believes that domestic banking agreements and international monetary restrictions may limit the Companys ability to transfer cash between its domestic and international subsidiaries. The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements including special purpose entities.
Operating Activities. Cash used by operating activities was $9.4 million and $10.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Restricted cash decreased $800,000 to $0 at March 31, 2003 from $800,000 at June 30, 2002. This decrease was due to the expiration of time deposits pledged as collateral to secure letters of credit.
Net trade receivables were $33.4 million at March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2002. Average days sales outstanding at March 31, 2003 were approximately 32 days as compared to 33 days at June 30, 2002.
Inventories decreased $1.1 million to $35.6 million at March 31, 2003 from $36.7 million at June 30, 2002.
Prepaid and other current assets increased $400,000 to $1.8 million at March 31, 2003 from $1.4 million at June 30, 2002 primarily as a result of prepaid insurance policies.
Accounts payable decreased $5.1 million to $35.9 million at March 31, 2003 compared to $41.0 million at June 30, 2002 as a result of the discontinuance of third party financing and accelerated vendor payments that allowed the Company to take advantage of early payment discounts. Accrued liabilities at March 31, 2003 decreased $600,000 compared to June 30, 2002 primarily due to a reduction in employee and tax related accruals.
Investing Activities. During the first nine months of 2003, the Company made approximately $234,000 in capital expenditures primarily related to equipment purchases. The Company also generated cash of approximately $58,000 through the sale of assets associated with the discontinuance of its Brazilian subsidiary.
Financing Activities. Financing activities generated $7.7 million and $12.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. This increase was primarily due to additional borrowings under the Companys revolving credit facility.
Borrowings under the revolving credit facility increased $10.0 million to $14.9 million at March 31, 2003 compared to $4.9 million at June 30, 2002. The increase is primarily due to inventory purchases, discontinuance of a third party financing arrangement and the decrease in accounts payables.
Summary. The Company believes that funds generated from operations, together with its revolving credit agreement, subsidiary bank credit agreements, vendor credit lines and current cash, will be sufficient to support the short-term and long-term working capital and liquidity requirements.

Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results
The Companys prospects are subject to certain risks and uncertainties as follows:
| Continuation of distribution agreements - The Company operates under formal but cancelable distribution agreements with certain of its suppliers. If these agreements were cancelled, the Company would be forced to obtain its products through wholesalers. This would most likely reduce the Companys profit margin on the affected products. | ||
| Availability of certain products - From time to time, due to production limitations or heavy demand, the Company may only be able to purchase a limited amount of popular products from its suppliers. | ||
| Product margins - The Company operates in a very competitive business environment. Accordingly, product margins are continually under pricing pressure. | ||
| Vendor credit - The Company significantly relies on its suppliers for trade credit. Changes by the suppliers in their credit terms could force the Company to obtain less favorable financing for its purchases. | ||
| Product obsolescence - The Company offers a broad line of products that are subject to fast technological obsolescence, which increases the risk of inventory markdown. Through its vendor agreements, the Company has certain stock return privileges, which vary from supplier to supplier. | ||
| Credit decisions and losses - The Company maintains an experienced customer credit staff and relies on customer payment history and third party data to make customer credit decisions. Nevertheless, the Company may experience customer credit losses in excess of its expectations. The Company also maintains credit insurance for customers located in the United States and Latin America (subject to certain terms and conditions). | ||
| Proportionate control of general and administrative costs - The Company attempts to control its overhead costs to keep such costs in line with its sales volume. As sales volumes fluctuate, the Company must continually monitor its overhead costs and make adjustments timely and appropriately. | ||
| Uncertain and possibly volatile economic and political environment in Latin America - The general economic and political environment in all of the countries in which the Company operates in Latin America is uncertain and, at times, volatile. As a result of these conditions, the Company could experience unexpected costs from its operations in these countries. | ||
| Availability of credit facilities - The Company operated under a formal credit facility with a bank for many years that was subject to certain collateral limitations and contained certain covenants. During October 2002 a new credit facility was obtained. The new credit facility provides more flexibility compared to the prior agreement but also includes covenants and other provisions. The Company consistently violated the financial covenants associated with the previous credit agreement, but was successful in negotiating waivers of such violations. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to maintain compliance with financial covenants, or obtain waivers in the event of non-compliance, in the future. Failure to maintain compliance with the financial covenants could adversely affect the Companys ability to obtain vendor credit and the overall business operations. The credit facilities are further described in Note 10 of the consolidated financial statements. |
23
| Cash flows - The Companys continued operation in Latin America may require additional capital infusion in the form of loans from the parent company or other debt borrowings by the subsidiary. The October 2002 credit facility places certain restrictions on the future funding of Latin American operations. |
International Business Risks
Approximately 22.1% for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 26.4% for the nine months ended fiscal 2002 revenues were generated in markets outside of the United States. International sales are subject to the customary risks associated with international transactions, including political risks, local laws and taxes, the potential imposition of trade or currency exchange restrictions, tariff increases, transportation delays, difficulties or delays in collecting accounts receivable, exchange rate fluctuations and the effects of prolonged currency destabilization in major international markets. The Company may seek to mitigate its currency exchange fluctuation risk by entering into currency hedging transactions. The Company also acts to mitigate certain risks associated with international transactions through the purchase of political risk and credit insurance. However, there can be no assurance that these efforts will successfully limit the Companys currency exchange fluctuation risk.
Ability to Attract and Retain Key Personnel
The Companys continued growth and success depends to a significant extent on the continued service of senior management and other key employees, the development of additional management personnel and the hiring of new qualified employees. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in continuously recruiting new personnel or in retaining existing personnel. The loss of one or more key or other employees or the Companys inability to attract additional qualified employees or retain other employees could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations or financial condition.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is subject to market risk arising from adverse changes in interest rates and foreign exchange. The Company does not enter into financial investments for speculation or trading purposes and is not a party to any financial or commodity derivatives.
Interest Rate Risk
The Companys cash equivalents and short-term investments and its outstanding debt bear variable interest rates which adjust to market conditions. Changes in the market rate affects interest earned and paid by the Company. The Company does not use derivative instruments to offset the exposure to changes in interest rates. Changes in the interest rates are not expected to have a material impact on the Companys results of operations.
Foreign Currency Exchange
The functional currency for the Companys international subsidiaries is the local currency for the country in which the subsidiaries own their primary assets. The translation of the applicable currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using a weighted average exchange rate during the period. Any related translation adjustments are recorded directly to shareholders equity as a component of comprehensive income. As a result of the change in currency, the company recorded foreign currency translation loss as a component of comprehensive income of approximately ($3.4) million for the nine months ended March 31, 2003.
The Company distributes many of its products in foreign countries, primarily in Latin America. Approximately 22.1% of the Companys total net sales were generated from sales made to resellers located in Latin American countries during the nine month period ended March 31, 2003. The Company manages its risk to foreign currency rate changes by maintaining foreign currency bank accounts in currencies in which it regularly transacts business. Additionally, the Companys foreign subsidiaries procure inventory payable in U.S dollars for resale in their respective countries. Upon settlement of the payables, the Company may be required to record transaction gains or losses resulting form currency fluctuations from the time the subsidiary entered into the agreement to settlement date of the liability. During the nine months ended March 31, 2003, the company recorded transaction losses of approximately $621,000. At March 31, 2003, the Companys foreign subsidiaries had approximately $4.4 million in U.S dollar denominated liabilities. In the aggregate, if the value of the dollar against the foreign denominated currency strengthens by 10%, the Company would record a transaction loss of approximately ($440,000). Conversely, if the value of the dollar declines by 10%, the Company would record a transaction gain of approximately $440,000. The Company was not a party to any hedge transactions as of March 31, 2003.
The information included in the Companys financial statements, and other documentation, does not include the potential impact that might arise from any decline in foreign currency in Latin American after March 31, 2003 or those declines which may occur in the future and, accordingly, should be analyzed considering that circumstance.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms. The Companys principal executive and financial officers have evaluated these disclosure controls and procedures within 90 days prior to the filing of this Report on Form 10-Q and have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Subsequent to their evaluation, there have been no significant changes in internal controls or other factors known to management of the Company that could significantly affect internal controls nor any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses
