AGILYSYS, INC.
1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Agilysys, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company). Investments in affiliated companies are accounted for by the equity or cost method, as appropriate. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated.
The unaudited interim financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions for Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations relating to interim financial statements.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2004, as well as the condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three-months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 have been prepared by the Company without audit. The financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as those in the audited annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly present the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows have been made. The results of operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period.
Critical Accounting Policies
A detailed description of the Companys critical accounting policies can be found in the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There have been no material changes in the Companys critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed therein.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company applies the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, to account for employee stock compensation costs, which is referred to as the intrinsic value method. Since the exercise price of the Companys employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation cost is recognized for the Companys stock option plans. The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure.

Reclassifications

2. Recent Acquisitions
In accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, the Company allocates the purchase price of its acquisitions to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill. Last year, the Company acquired two businesses, Kyrus Corporation (Kyrus) and Inter-American Data, Inc. (IAD).
Kyrus Corporation
Kyrus was acquired on September 30, 2003 during the second quarter of fiscal 2004. The results of Kyrus operations have been included in the Companys consolidated financial statements since that date. Kyrus was an IBM Master Distributor and Premier Business Partner in retail sales solutions. The acquisition expands the Companys operations to include a wide range of services and solutions, including hardware and software products and extensive professional services to customers in the retail industry. The purchase price was $29.6 million, offset by approximately $0.9 million of cash acquired, with approximately $26.6 million assigned to goodwill in fiscal 2004 based on the estimated fair vales of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. During the three-months ended June 30, 2004, the Company recorded an additional $17,500 of costs that were directly associated with the Kyrus acquisition. These additional costs resulted in an increase to goodwill.
The Company is in the process of finalizing its assessment of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including whether there were any identifiable intangible assets in the transaction. Accordingly, the allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and subject to change. The Company anticipates completing its assessment by September 30, 2004.
7
2. Recent Acquisitions continued
Inter-American Data, Inc.
Inter-American Data was acquired on February 17, 2004 during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. The results of IADs operations have been included in the Companys consolidated financial statements since that date. IAD was a leading developer and provider of software and services to hotel casinos and major resorts in the United States. The acquisition provides significant opportunities for growth in the hospitality industry. The purchase price was $38.0 million, with approximately $35.7 million assigned to goodwill in fiscal 2004 based on the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. During the three-months ended June 30, 2004, the Company recorded an additional liability of $151,000 assumed in the acquisition, with a corresponding increase to goodwill. The liability related to one-time involuntary termination costs for employees of IAD whose job functions were terminated during the integration of IAD. Termination benefits are expected to continue through the current fiscal year.
The Company is in the process of finalizing its assessment of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including whether there were any identifiable intangible assets in the transaction. Accordingly, the allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and subject to change. The Company anticipates completing its assessment within 12 months of the date of acquisition.
3. Discontinued Operations
During fiscal 2003, the Company sold substantially all of the assets and liabilities of its Industrial Electronics Division (IED), which distributed semiconductors, interconnect, passive and electromechanical components, power supplies and embedded computer products in North America and Germany. In connection with the sale of IED, the Company discontinued the operations of Aprisa, Inc. (Aprisa), an internet-based start up corporation that created customized software for the electronic components market. The disposition of IED and discontinuance of Aprisa represented a disposal of a component of an entity as defined by SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The Company continues to incur certain costs related to IED and Aprisa, which are reported in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as loss from discontinued operations.
For the three-months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company realized a loss from discontinued operations of $0.2 million (net of $0.1 million in income taxes) and $0.7 million (net of $0.4 million in income taxes), respectively.
In April 2004, a distribution facility that was held for sale was sold for approximately $2.9 million. The excess of book value over the sale price of $0.2 million was recognized as a loss on sale of fixed assets.
8
4. Restructuring Charges
Continuing Operations
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, concurrent with the sale if IED, the Company announced it would restructure its remaining enterprise computer solutions business and facilities to reduce overhead and eliminate assets that were inconsistent with the Companys strategic plan and were no longer required. In connection with this reorganization, the Company recorded restructuring charges totaling $20.7 million for the impairment of facilities and other assets no longer required as well as severance, incentives, and other employee benefit costs for personnel whose employment was involuntarily terminated. The charges were classified as restructuring charges in the consolidated statement of operations.
Severance, incentives, and other employee benefit costs were to be paid to approximately 110 personnel. Facilities costs represent the present value of qualifying exit costs, offset by an estimate for future sublease income for a vacant warehouse that represents excess capacity as a result of the sale of IED.
Following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the restructuring liability:

Of the remaining $5.8 million reserve at June 30, 2004, approximately $0.6 million is expected to be paid during the remainder of fiscal 2005 for facilities obligations. Facilities obligations are expected to continue to 2017.
Discontinued Operations
In connection with the sale of IED in fiscal 2003, the Company recognized a restructuring charge of $28.7 million. The significant components of the charge were as follows: $5.9 million related to severance and other employee benefit costs to be paid to approximately 525 employees previously employed by IED and not hired by the acquiring company; $5.0 million related to facilities costs for approximately 30 vacated locations no longer required as a result of the sale that were determined as the present value of qualifying exit costs offset by an estimate for future sublease income; and $17.4 million related to the write down of assets to fair value that were abandoned or classified as held for sale, as a result of the disposition and discontinuance of IED and Aprisa, respectively.

5. Goodwill
Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the three-months ended June 30, 2004 are summarized in the following table:

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company does not amortize goodwill; rather, goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more often if conditions exist which indicate potential impairment. The Company uses a measurement date of February 1 for its annual impairment test of goodwill. As of February 1, 2004, which was the latest annual impairment test performed, the Company concluded that the fair value of its reporting unit exceeded the carrying value, including goodwill. As such, step two of the goodwill impairment test was not necessary and no impairment loss was recognized. As of June 30, 2004, the Company was not aware of any circumstances or events requiring an interim impairment test of goodwill.
6. Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible Trust Preferred Securities
In 1998, Pioneer-Standard Financial Trust (the Pioneer-Standard Trust) issued 2,875,000 shares relating to $143.7 million of 6.75% Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible Trust Preferred Securities (the Trust Preferred Securities). The Pioneer-Standard Trust, a statutory business trust, is a wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary of the Company, with its sole asset being $148.2 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% Junior Convertible Subordinated Debentures of Agilysys, Inc. due March 31, 2028 (the Trust Debentures). The Company has executed a guarantee with regard to the Trust Preferred Securities. The guarantee, when taken together with the Companys obligations under the Trust Debentures, the indenture pursuant to which the Trust Debentures were issued and the applicable trust document, provide a full and unconditional guarantee of the Pioneer-Standard Trusts obligations under the Trust Preferred Securities.
10
6. Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible Trust Preferred Securities continued
The Trust Preferred Securities are non-voting (except in limited circumstances), pay quarterly distributions at an annual rate of 6.75%, carry a liquidation value of $50 per share and are convertible at the option of the holder into the Companys Common Shares at any time prior to the close of business on March 31, 2028. Subsequent to March 31, 2003, the Trust Preferred Securities became redeemable, at the option of the Company, for a redemption price of 103.375% of par reduced annually by 0.675% to a minimum of $50 per Trust Preferred Security.
No Trust Preferred Securities were repurchased during the three-months ended June 30, 2004. During the same period last year, the Company repurchased 365,000 Trust Preferred Securities for a cash purchase price of approximately $17.0 million. The repurchased securities had a face value of approximately $18.3 million. The difference between the face value and cash paid, offset by the expensing of related deferred financing fees, resulted in a net gain of $0.7 million.
As of June 30, 2004, a total of 366,500 Trust Preferred Securities have been redeemed by the Company.
7. Contingencies
The Company is the subject of various threatened or pending legal actions and contingencies in the normal course of conducting its business. The Company provides for costs related to these matters when a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The effect of the outcome of these matters on the Companys future results of operations and liquidity cannot be predicted because any such effect depends on future results of operations and the amount or timing of the resolution of such matters. While it is not possible to predict with certainty, management believes that the ultimate resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
8. Comprehensive Income
The components of comprehensive income, net of tax, for the three-months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 are as follows:

$ | 0.14 | $ | (0.02 | ) |
Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by sequencing each issue or series of issues of potential common shares from the most dilutive to the least dilutive. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is determined as the lowest earnings (loss) per incremental share in the sequence of potential common shares.
Options on 2.2 million and 3.3 million shares of common stock at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, were not included in computing diluted earnings (loss) per share nor were 8.0 million and 8.3 million shares issuable upon conversion of the Trust Preferred Securities at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, because their effects were antidilutive.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition
AGILYSYS, INC.
Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this document as well as the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2004.
Overview
Agilysys, Inc. is one of the foremost distributors and premier resellers of enterprise computer technology solutions. The Company delivers complex servers, software, storage and services to resellers and corporate customers across a diverse set of industries. The Company also provides customer-centric software applications and services focused on the retail and hospitality markets. As an integrator of server, storage, software and services needs, the Company is able to partner with its customers to become a single solutions provider for enterprise computing requirements.
Net sales grew by 38.3% for the three-months ended June 30, 2004 compared with the same period last year. Several factors contributed to the improvement in sales. In particular, the Company experienced an increase in sales to its core customers as improvements in market trends that began in fiscal 2004 continued into the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The Company also was able to successfully integrate the two business acquisitions made in fiscal 2004 into its business. This successful integration expanded the Companys solutions offerings into the retail and hospitality markets.
Net income for the three-months ended June 30, 2004 increased to $3.9 million, or earnings of $0.14 per diluted share, versus a net loss of $1.5 million, or a loss of $0.05 per diluted share, for the comparable period last year. The improvement in net income can be attributed to efficiencies realized from recent restructuring efforts, initiatives to reduce discretionary spending, and a reduction in interest expense resulting from lower debt levels compared with last year.
The following discussion of the Companys results of operations and financial condition is intended to provide information that will assist in understanding the Companys financial statements, including key changes in financial statement components and the primary factors that accounted for those changes.

Net Sales
The Company experienced a $107.1 million, or 38.3%, increase in net sales versus the comparable period last year. Sales generated from the two business acquisitions made last year contributed 13.8% to the increase, with the remaining 24.5% attributed to sales from the Companys base business. Overall, the increase in net sales was the result of the Companys focused efforts in marketing its products and services in an improving information technology spending environment.
The Company experienced the following sales increases, by product category, when compared with the same period last year: hardware sales increased $55.7 million, or approximately 52.0% of the overall increase; software sales increased $14.4 million, or approximately 13.4% of the overall increase; services and other revenue increased $37.0 million, or approximately 34.6% of the overall increase.
The increase in hardware sales was driven by a higher volume of server and storage sales, which contributed $30.7 million and $25.0 million, respectively, to the increase. Sales to small to medium-sized enterprises through the Companys distribution channels were the primary sources of these increases. The increase in software sales was largely due to a higher volume of IBM-based software sales as well as the proprietary software the Company is now supplying as a result of recent business acquisitions. The increase in service and other revenue was primarily due to the incremental sales generated from the Companys two business acquisitions completed last year, as the Company has been able to successfully integrate the two acquisitions into its business and expand its solutions offerings into the retail and hospitality markets.
The Company anticipates net sales for the full fiscal year to increase approximately 20% to 25% compared with prior fiscal year. In addition, the Company experiences a seasonal increase in sales during its fiscal third quarter ending in December. Accordingly, the results of operations for the three-months ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year.
Gross Margin
The $13.8 million, or 39.3%, increase in gross margin is a result of higher sales volume in the current quarter versus the comparable period last year. However, gross margin as a percentage of net sales remained relatively constant with last year. Gross margin as a percentage of sales was 12.6% for the three-months ended June 30, 2004 compared with 12.5% for the same period last year. The consistency in this measure year over year, despite the increase in net sales, is due to the sales mix during the current quarter. Although the Company recognized higher sales in predominantly all aspects of its business, the Company recognized sales growth in its distribution business at a rate higher than its direct solutions businesses. As the distribution business traditionally has lower gross margins, the margins resulting from higher sales in the Companys distribution business curtailed the favorable gross margin impact of higher sales in the Companys direct solutions businesses.
A significant component of the Companys gross margin is the realization and timing of incentive payments from its suppliers. Incentive programs are principally designed to reward sales performance and on average tend to rise as a percent of sales as the Companys fiscal year progresses and it achieves predefined sales goals. Provided sales goals are achieved, the Company generally earns higher levels of incentive payments in the third and fourth fiscal quarters as compared with the first and second quarters. The Company anticipates gross margin to be approximately 12.8% to 13.1% of net sales for the entire fiscal year.
14
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The Company experienced a $7.3 million, or 23.0%, increase in selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A). The increase was largely due to costs from the two acquisitions that were made last year, which contributed approximately $6.7 million to SG&A during the current quarter. Overall, the Company was able to control discretionary spending, and combined with the efficiencies gained from recent restructuring activities, SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased to 10.1% versus 11.3% during the comparable period last year and are expected to be approximately 9.5% of net sales for the entire fiscal year.

The 39.4% decrease in other (income) expense is primarily due to lower interest expense, offset by the absence of a gain on retirement of Convertible Preferred Securities in the current quarter. The decrease in interest expense is attributable to lower average debt levels in the current quarter versus the comparable quarter in the prior year, as the interest rates applicable to the Companys long-term debt outstanding are fixed. During fiscal 2004, the Company repurchased $71.6 million in Senior Notes and $18.3 million in Convertible Preferred Securities. The lower debt levels were realized for the entire quarter in the current year; whereas, only the Convertible Preferred Securities had been repurchased as of the end of the same quarter in the prior year. The repurchase of Convertible Preferred Securities in the first quarter of last year resulted in the $0.7 million gain. No such repurchase occurred during the three-months ended June 30, 2004.
Income Tax Expense
The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the three-months ended June 30, 2004 was 36.6% compared with 39.9% for the same quarter in the prior year. The decrease in the effective tax rate primarily reflects the recognition of State net operating loss carryforwards.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Companys operating cash requirements consist primarily of working capital requirements, scheduled payments of principal and interest on indebtedness outstanding and capital expenditures. The Company believes that cash flow from operating activities, cash on hand, available borrowings under its credit facility, and access to capital markets will provide adequate funds to meet its short and long-term liquidity requirements.
Cash and cash equivalents were $205.9 million at June 30, 2004 compared with $149.9 million at March 31, 2004. Working capital at June 30, 2004 was $265.3 million and the current ratio was 2.0 to 1 compared to working capital at March 31, 2004 of $263.2 million and a current ratio of 2.1 to 1. Working
15
capital and current ratio remained relatively consistent as the decreases in accounts receivable, inventory, and accrued liabilities were largely offset by the increase in accounts payable.
Total debt at June 30, 2004 was $185.1 million, compared to $185.2 million at March 31, 2004. The slight decrease in the Companys total debt reflects ongoing payment of capital lease obligations. The Company did not voluntarily repurchase Senior Notes or Convertible Preferred Securities during the three-months ended June 30, 2004. The Senior Notes and Convertible Preferred Securities are due in August 2006 and March 2028, respectively. In addition, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Companys revolving credit facility at June 30, 2004, with unused availability of $100 million as of June 30, 2004. The Company was compliant with all quarterly financial covenants contained in its revolving credit facility and anticipates that it will continue to comply with such covenants in the foreseeable future.
The Companys total debt consists primarily of Senior Notes and Convertible Preferred Securities. The principal amount of Senior Notes outstanding at June 30, 2004 was $59.4 million. The Senior Notes pay interest semi-annually at an annual rate of 9.5%. The indenture under which the Senior Notes were issued limits the creation of liens, sale and leaseback transactions, consolidations, mergers and transfers of all or substantially all of the Companys assets, and indebtedness of the Companys restricted subsidiaries. The Senior Notes are subject to mandatory repurchase by the Company at the option of the holders in the event of a change in control of the Company.
The carrying value of Convertible Preferred Securities at June 30, 2004 was $125.4 million. The Convertible Preferred Securities are non-voting (except in limited circumstances), pay quarterly distributions at an annual rate of 6.75%, carry a liquidation value of $50 per share and are convertible into the Companys common shares at the option of the holder at any time prior to the close of business on March 31, 2028. The Convertible Preferred Securities are convertible into common shares at the rate of 3.1746 common shares for each Convertible Preferred Security (equivalent to a conversion price of $15.75 per common share).
The Company maintains a revolving credit agreement (Revolver), which provides the ability to borrow up to $100 million, limited to certain borrowing base calculations, and allows for increases under certain conditions up to $150 million during the life of the facility. Advances on the Revolver bear interest at various levels over LIBOR, and a facility fee is required, both of which are determined based on the Companys leverage ratio. The Revolver does not contain a pre-payment penalty. There were no amounts outstanding under the Revolver at June 30, 2004.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities improved $102.5 million during the three-months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the corresponding period last year. The increase in operating cash flow is attributed to improvements in customer payment patterns, lower inventory levels, and increased net earnings. Customer payment patterns have improved, in part, due to the Companys focused initiatives in collection efforts as well as an increase in customers utilizing third-party financing which has resulted in shorter payment periods and, as a result, accounts receivable decreased approximately $21.4 million during the current quarter. In addition, inventory control efforts have resulted in lower levels of inventory carried by the Company, which led to a $2.2 million inventory reduction during the current quarter. Operating cash flow was also positively impacted by the timing of payments of accounts payable, as the balance of accounts payable increased $29.6 million during the current quarter.
Cash Flow Used for Investing Activities
Cash used for investing activities for the three-months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 were for capital expenditures. The estimated capital expenditures for the full fiscal year are expected to be approximately $2 million and relate primarily to information systems and facility projects.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
During the three-months ended June 30, 2004, the Company paid dividends of approximately $0.7 million. Dividend payments were offset primarily by proceeds from the issuance of common stock under the Companys stock-based compensation plans. During the three-months ended June 30, 2003, net cash used for financing activities was mainly used for the repurchase of Convertible Preferred Securities approximating $17.0 million.
Contractual Obligations
The Company has contractual obligations for long-term debt, capital leases and operating leases that were summarized in a table of contractual obligations in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2004 (Annual Report). There have been no material changes to the contractual obligations summarized in the table included in the Annual Report outside the ordinary course of business.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Companys financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Standards

Financial Condition and elsewhere throughout this Form 10-Q, the words believes, anticipates, plans, expects and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements reflect managements current opinions and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated or implied.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date hereof. Risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: competition, dependence on the IT market, softening in the computer network and platform market, rapidly changing technology and inventory obsolescence, dependence on key suppliers and supplier programs, risks and uncertainties involving acquisitions, instability in world financial markets, downward pressure on gross margins, the ability to meet financing obligations based on the impact of previously described factors and uneven patterns of quarterly sales.
The Company experiences a disproportionate percentage of quarterly sales in the last month of the fiscal quarters. This uneven sales pattern makes the prediction of revenues, earnings and working capital for each quarterly financial period difficult and increases the risk of unanticipated variations in quarterly results and financial condition. The Company believes that this sales pattern is industry-wide. Although the Company is unable to predict whether this uneven sales pattern will continue over the long term, the Company anticipates that this trend will remain the same in the foreseeable future.
