NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 2003
(UNAUDITED)
1. Basis of Presentation
---------------------
The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements
include the accounts of TSR, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company"). All
significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. These interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America applying to interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America and normally included in the Company's annual financial
statements have been condensed or omitted. These interim financial
statements as of and for the three months ended August 31, 2003, are
unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, such statements include
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to
present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations,
and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. The results of
operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative
of the results that might be expected for future interim periods or for the
full year ending May 31, 2004. These interim financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended May 31, 2003.
2. Net Income Per Common Share
---------------------------
Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing income available
to common stockholders (which for the Company equals its net income) by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding, and diluted net
income per common share adds the dilutive effect of stock options and other
common stock equivalents. Options covering 26,171 and 160,000 shares of
common stock have been omitted from the calculations of diluted net income
per common share for the three month periods ended August 31, 2003 and
August 31, 2002, respectively, as their effect would have been
antidilutive.
3 Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------
The Company considers short-term highly liquid investments with maturities
of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Cash and cash equivalents were comprised of the following as of August 31,
2003:
Cash in banks ........................... $ 1,611,691
Money Market Funds ...................... 684,108
US Treasury Funds ....................... 1,995,120
-----------
$ 4,290,919
===========
4. Revenue Recognition
-------------------
The Company's contract computer programming services are generally provided
under time and materials agreements with customers. Accordingly, the
Company recognizes such revenues as services are provided. Advances from
customers represent amounts received from customers prior to the Company's
provision of the related services and credit balances from overpayments.

5. Marketable Securities
---------------------
The Company accounts for its marketable securities in Accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." Accordingly, the Company
classifies its marketable securities at acquisition as either (i)
held-to-maturity, (ii) trading, or (iii) available-for-sale. Based upon the
Company's intent and ability to hold its US Treasury securities to maturity
(which maturities range between three months and two years), such
securities have been classified as held-to -maturity and are carried at
amortized cost. The Company's equity securities are classified as trading
securities, which are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and
losses included in earnings. The Company's marketable securities are
summarized as follows:
Gross Gross
Unrealized Unrealized
Amortized Holding Holding Fair
Cost Gains Losses Value

6. Stock Options
-------------
On July 28, 2003 the Company paid a large nonrecurring cash dividend of
$2.00 per share to shareholders of record as of July 11, 2003. The dividend
paid amounted to $9,088,024. Guidance under Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF) 00-23, ISSUES RELATED TO THE ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK COMPENSATION UNDER
APB OPINION NO.25 AND FASB INTERPRETATION NO.44, requires modification for
outstanding stock options by adjusting the price and/or the number of
shares under a fixed stock option award as a result of a large nonrecurring
cash dividend. The Company did not adjust the terms of any outstanding
stock options and, given the circumstances, a new measurement date and
variable accounting treatment was required for its outstanding options at
the dividend payment date. The Company had 34,000 such outstanding options,
all of which were vested, as of August 31, 2003 which are now subject to
variable accounting treatment. Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash
compensation charge for $49,980 and will continue to adjust the
compensation charge associated with these options through the earlier of
their exercise, forfeiture or expiration dates.
The Company has one stock-based employee compensation plan in effect. The
Company accounts for all transactions under which employees receive shares
of stock or other equity instruments in the Company based on the price of
its stock in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES. All options
granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of
the underlying common stock, and the number of shares represented by such
options were known and fixed, on the date of grant. However, as a result of
the large nonrecurring cash dividend, the remaining outstanding 34,000
options are now treated as variable options. The following table
illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company
had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION.

7. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
--------------------------------
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 148, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure." SFAS No. 148
provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the
fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation as
originally provided by SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation". Additionally, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure
requirements of SFAS No. 123 in both annual and interim financial
statements. The Company intends on continuing to apply the intrinsic value
method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation, and will
provide the required disclosures of SFAS No. 148 in all its filings.
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 "Guarantor's
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others", ("Interpretation 45").
Interpretation 45 requires a guarantor to include disclosure of certain
obligations, and if applicable, at the inception of the guarantee,
recognize a liability for the fair value of other certain obligations
undertaken in issuing a guarantee. The recognition requirement is effective
for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The Company has
no obligations regarding Interpretation No. 45.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 "Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities" ("Interpretation 46"). Interpretation 46
clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 54
"Consolidated Financial Statements", and applies immediately to any
variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and to variable
interest entities in which an interest is obtained after the date. The
Company holds no interest in variable interest entities.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity",
("SFAS 150"). This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer
classifies and measures in its statement of financial position certain
financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.
In accordance with the standard, financial instruments that embody
obligations for the issuer are required to be classified as liabilities.
This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or
modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of
the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company does
not expect the provision of this statement to have a significant impact on
the Company's consolidated financial statements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to such financial
statements.
Forward-Looking Statements
- --------------------------
Certain statements contained in Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations, including statements concerning
the Company's future prospects and the Company's future cash flow requirements
are forward looking statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those projections
in the forward looking statements which statements involve risks and
uncertainties, including but not limited to the following: risks relating to the
competitive nature of the markets for contract computer programming services;
the extent to which market conditions for the Company's contract computer
consulting services will continue to adversely affect the Company's business;
the concentration of the Company's business with certain customers; uncertainty
as to the Company's ability to maintain its relations with existing customers
and expand its contract computer consulting services business; the impact of
changes in the industry, such as the use of vendor management companies in
connection with the consulting procurement process, on the Company's business,
and other risks and uncertainties set forth in the Company's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
The following table sets forth for the periods indicated certain financial
information derived from the Company's condensed consolidated statements of
earnings. There can be no assurance that trends in operating results will

TSR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Revenues
- --------
Revenues consist primarily of revenues from computer programming consulting
services. Revenues for the quarter ended August 31, 2003 decreased $944,000 or
6.9% from the comparable period in fiscal 2003. The continuing weak economic
environment has caused almost all of our customers to severely cut back on their
IT spending, limiting opportunities to place new consultants on billing. The
economic environment and an increasing use of offshore development companies has
decreased demand for placements resulting in an overall decrease in rates
charged for computer programmer services. Although we have experienced a slight
increase in the average number of consultants on billing from approximately 356
for the quarter ended August 31, 2002 to 372 for the quarter ended August 31,
2003, the current economic environment has caused customers to require the
Company to decrease the rates charged for its services resulting in decreased
revenue. As a result, the Company has also decreased the rates paid to its
consultants for their services. Additionally, during the current quarter,
billable hours were lost for most consultants due to the electrical blackout in
the New York Metropolitan area.
Cost of Sales
- -------------
Cost of sales for the quarter ended August 31, 2003, decreased $827,000 or 7.7%
to $9,873,000 from $10,700,000 in the prior year period. Cost of sales as a
percentage of revenues decreased from 78.2% in the quarter ended August 31, 2002
to 77.5% in the quarter ended August 31, 2003. These decreases are primarily
attributable to rate reductions in the amounts paid to consultants.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
- --------------------------------------------
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of expenses
relating to account executives, technical recruiters, facilities costs,
management and corporate overhead. These expenses increased $135,000 or 7.3%
from $1,851,000 in the quarter August 31, 2002 to $1,986,000 in the quarter
ended August 31, 2003. This increase was primarily attributable to increased
technical recruiting and legal expenses.
Other Income
- ------------
Other income resulted primarily from interest and dividend income, which
decreased by $20,000 to $42,000 due to lower interest rates and lower investable
balances in the quarter ended August 31, 2003. Additionally, the Company had a
net unrealized gain of $7,000 in the quarter ended August 31, 2003 versus a loss
of $10,000 in the quarter ended August 31, 2002 from marketable securities due
to mark to market adjustments of its trading securities equity portfolio.
Income Taxes
- ------------
The effective income tax rate of 44.5% for the quarter ended August 31, 2003
increased from a rate of 43.7% in the quarter ended August 31, 2002.
Page 11
TSR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company expects that cash flow generated from operations together with its
cash and marketable securities will be sufficient to provide the Company with
adequate resources to meet its liquidity requirements for the foreseeable
future.
At August 31, 2003, the Company had working capital of $15,230,000 and cash and
cash equivalents of $4,291,000 as compared to working capital of $23,028,000 and
cash and cash equivalents of $5,063,000 at May 31, 2003. Working capital
decreased primarily due to the large nonrecurring cash dividend of $2.00 per
share, totalling $9,088,000, paid in the current quarter. The Company has also
announced a policy of declaring dividends at the rate of $0.15 per quarter for
its 2004 fiscal year and beyond, provided it is able to maintain cash flow from
operations.
Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $663,000 for the three
months ended August 31, 2003, compared to cash used of $313,000 for the three
months ended August 31, 2002. The cash provided by operating activities resulted
primarily from the Company's net income. The cash used in the fiscal year
resulted from an increase in accounts receivables.
Net cash provided by investing activities amounted to $6,956,000 for the three
months ended August 31, 2003, primarily resulted from allowing U.S. Treasury
Bills to mature and not reinvesting them.
Net cash used in financing activities resulted primarily for the payment of a
cash dividend of $9,088,000 offset, to some extent, by the proceeds increased
for the exercise of stock options in the amount of $697,000.
The Company's capital resource commitments at August 31, 2003 consisted of lease
obligations on its branch and corporate facilities. The Company intends to
finance these lease commitments from cash flow provided by operations, available
cash and short-term marketable securities. A summary of non-cancelable long-term
operating lease commitments as of August 31, 2003 follows:
FY 04 FY 05 FY 06 FY 07 Thereafter Total
Operating Leases $258,000 $349,000 $170,000 $101,000 $17,000 $895,000
The Company's cash and marketable securities were sufficient to enable it to
meet its cash requirements during the three months ended August 31, 2003. The
Company has available a revolving line of credit of $5,000,000 with a major
money center bank through October 6, 2003. As of August 31, 2003, no amounts

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
- --------------------------------
In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and
Disclosure." SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a
voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation as originally provided by SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation". Additionally, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of
SFAS No. 123 in both annual and interim financial statements. The Company
intends on continuing to apply the intrinsic value method of accounting for
stock-based employee compensation, and will provide the required disclosures of
SFAS No. 148 in all its filings.
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 "Guarantor's Accounting
and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others", ("Interpretation 45"). Interpretation 45 requires a
guarantor to include disclosure of certain obligations, and if applicable, at
the inception of the guarantee, recognize a liability for the fair value of
other certain obligations undertaken in issuing a guarantee. The recognition
requirement is effective for guarantees issued or modified after December 31,
2002. The Company has no obligations regarding Interpretation No. 45.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 "Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities" ("Interpretation 46"). Interpretation 46 clarifies
the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 54 "Consolidated Financial
Statements", and applies immediately to any variable interest entities created
after January 31, 2003 and to variable interest entities in which an interest is
obtained after the date. The Company holds no interest in variable interest
entities.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity", ("SFAS 150").
This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures
in its statement of financial position certain financial instruments with
characteristics of both liabilities and equity. In accordance with the standard,
financial instruments that embody obligations for the issuer are required to be
classified as liabilities. This Statement is effective for financial instruments
entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the
beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company
does not expect the provision of this statement to have a significant impact on
the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies
- ----------------------------
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued disclosure guidance for
"critical accounting policies." The SEC defines "critical accounting policies"
as those that require the application of management's most difficult, subjective
or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the
effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent
periods.
The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the
Company's consolidated financial statements, contained in its May 31, 2003
Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC. The Company believes that the
following accounting policies require the application of management's most
difficult, subjective or complex judgments:
ESTIMATING ALLOWANCES FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits
based upon payment history and the customer's current credit worthiness, as
determined by our review of their current credit information. We continuously
monitor collections and payments from our customers and maintain a provision for
estimated credit losses based upon our historical experience and any specific
customer collection issues that we have identified. While such credit losses
have historically been within our expectations and the provisions established,
we cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same credit loss
rates that we have in the past. A significant change in the liquidity or
financial position of any of our significant customers could have a material
adverse effect on the collectibility of our accounts receivable and our future
operating results.
VALUATION OF DEFERRED TAX ASSETS
We regularly evaluate our ability to recover the reported amount of our deferred
income taxes considering several factors, including our estimate of the
likelihood of the Company generating sufficient taxable income in future years
during the period over which temporary differences reverse. Presently, the
Company believes that it is more likely than not that it will realize the
benefits of its deferred tax assets based primarily on the Company's history of
and projections for taxable income in the future. In the event that actual
results differ from our estimates or we adjust these estimates in future
periods, we may need to establish a valuation allowance against a portion or all
of our deferred tax assets, which could materially impact our financial position
or results of operations.
VALUATION OF LONG-LIVED AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
We assess the recoverability of long-lived assets and intangible assets whenever
we determine that events or changes in circumstances indicate that their
carrying amount may not be recoverable. Our assessment is primarily based upon
our estimate of future cash flows associated with these assets. Although there
has been a sustained weakness in our operating results, through August 31, 2003,
we have continued to generate net income. Accordingly, we have not determined
that there has been an indication of impairment of any of our assets. However,
should our operating results deteriorate, we may determine that some portion of
our long-lived assets or intangible assets are impaired. Such determination
could result in non-cash charges to income that could materially affect our
financial position or results of operations for that period.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
---------------------------------------------------------
The Company's earnings and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to (i)
changes in interest rates primarily affecting its income from the investment of
available cash balances in money market funds and (ii) changes in market values
of its investments in trading equity securities. Under its current policies, the
Company does not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to
interest rate changes. The Company's present exposure to changes in the market
value of its investments in equity securities is not significant.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
-----------------------
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. The Company conducted an evaluation, under
the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer
and principal financial officer, of the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the "Exchange Act")). Based on this evaluation, the principal executive
officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the
period covered by this report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures
are effective.
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING. There was no change in the Company's
internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule
13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the Company's most recently reported
completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely
to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
