NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of ScanSource, Inc. (the Company) have been prepared by the Companys management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of December 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003, the results of operations for the quarter and six month periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 and statement of cash flows for the six month periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. The results of operations for the quarter and six month periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003.
Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications of prior period data have been made to conform with the current period presentation.
(2) Business Description, Certain Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company is a leading distributor of specialty technology products, providing both value-added distribution sales to technology resellers and e-logistics services to specialty technology markets. The Company has two geographic distribution segments: one serving North America from the Memphis distribution center, and an international segment currently serving Latin America (including Mexico) and Europe. The North American Distribution segment markets automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) and point-of-sale (POS) products through its ScanSource sales unit; voice, data and converged communications equipment through its CatalystTelecom sales unit; and voice, data and converged communications products through its Paracon sales unit. The International Distribution segment markets AIDC and POS products through its ScanSource sales unit.
Stock Split Effective January 28, 2003, the Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split of the common stock effected in the form of a 100% common stock dividend. The effect of the stock split has been recognized retroactively in all share and per share data in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Consolidation Policy The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Minority Interest Minority interest represents that portion of the net equity of majority-owned subsidiaries of the Company held by minority shareholders. The minority shareholders share of the subsidiaries income or loss is listed separately in the consolidated income statements. Effective July 1, 2003, the Company purchased the remaining 10% minority interest in ChannelMax, Inc. (ChannelMax). The Company now owns 100% of ChannelMax. Effective August 15, 2003, the Company acquired an additional 12% of Outsourcing Unlimited, Inc. (OUI). Effective October 1, 2003, the Company acquired an additional 8% of Netpoint International, Inc. (Netpoint). The Company now owns 76% of OUI and 68% of Netpoint.

SCANSOURCE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis management evaluates its estimates, including those related to the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable and inventory reserves to reduce inventories to the lower of cost or market. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form a basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions; however, management believes that its estimates, including those for the above described items, are reasonable and that the actual results will not vary significantly from the estimated amounts.
Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized once four criteria are met: (1) the Company must have persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (2) delivery must occur, which happens at the point of shipment (this includes the transfer of both title and risk of loss, provided that no significant obligations remain); (3) the price must be fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility must be reasonably assured. A provision for estimated losses on returns is recorded at the time of sale based on historical experience.
The Company also has arrangements in which it earns a service fee determined as a percentage of the value of products shipped on behalf of the manufacturer, who retains the risk of credit loss. In the event of termination of the programs, the Company has the right to return certain inventory to the manufacturer. Such service fees earned by the Company are included in net sales and were less than 1% of net sales for the quarters and six months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Shipping costs are included in the cost of products sold.
Inventories Inventories (consisting of AIDC, POS, business phone and converged communications equipment) are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.
Stock Based Compensation The Company has five stock-based employee compensation plans. The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and Disclosure, which amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 148 allows for continued use of recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for those plans. The Company applies the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, and related interpretations in accounting for those plans. No stock-based employee compensation expense is reflected in net income as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions to stock-based employee compensation. Such disclosure is not necessarily indicative of the fair value of stock options that could be granted by the Company in future fiscal years or of the value of all options currently outstanding.

Foreign Currencies The currency effects of translating the financial statements of the Companys foreign entities that operate in their local currency are included in the cumulative currency translation adjustment component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The assets and liabilities of these foreign entities are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at the end of the respective period. Sales, costs and expenses are translated at average exchange rates effective during the respective period.
Foreign currency transactional and remeasurement gains and losses are included in other expense (income) in the consolidated statement of income. For the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2003, foreign currency gains, net of losses, were 0.7% and 1.5% of income before taxes, respectively. Foreign currency losses, net of gains, for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2002 were less than 1.0% of income before taxes.
Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and foreign currency translation. The foreign currency translation gains or losses are not tax-effected because the earnings of foreign subsidiaries are considered by Company management to be permanently reinvested. For the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2003, comprehensive income consisted of net income of the Company of $6.7 million and $12.7 million, respectively, and translation adjustments of $1.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively. For the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2002, comprehensive income consisted of net income of approximately $5.8 million and $11.8 million, respectively, and translation adjustments of $714,000 and $719,000, respectively.
Vendor Programs - Funds received from vendors for marketing programs and product rebates have been accounted for as a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) or product cost according to the nature of the program, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 02-16, Accounting for Cash Consideration Received from a Vendor.
10
SCANSOURCE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Contingencies - The Company accrues for contingent obligations, including estimated legal costs, when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable. As facts concerning contingencies become known, management reassesses its position and makes appropriate adjustments to the financial statements. Estimates that are particularly sensitive to future changes include tax, legal, and other regulatory matters, which are subject to change as events evolve and as additional information becomes available during the administrative and litigation process.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Book overdrafts of $20,008,000 and $17,412,000 as of December 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003, respectively, are included in accounts payable.
Derivative Financial Instruments - The Company sells to customers internationally in several foreign currencies. The Company may reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates by creating offsetting positions through the use of derivative financial instruments. The market risk related to the foreign exchange agreements is offset by changes in the valuation of the underlying items being hedged. The Companys derivative financial instruments have terms of 90 days or less. The Company currently does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes, nor is the Company a party to leveraged derivatives.
Derivative financial instruments are accounted for on an accrual basis with gains and losses on these contracts recorded in income in the period in which their value changes. The Company has elected not to designate its foreign currency contracts as hedging instruments. They are, therefore, marked to market with changes in their value recorded in the income statement each period. The underlying exposures are denominated primarily in British Pounds.
The notional amount of forward exchange contracts and options is the amount of foreign currency to be bought or sold at maturity. Notional amounts are indicative of the extent of the Companys involvement in the various types and uses of derivative financial instruments and are not a measure of the Companys exposure to credit or market risks through its use of derivatives. The estimated fair value of derivative financial instruments represents the amount required to enter into similar offsetting contracts with similar remaining maturities based on quoted market prices. The Company had no derivative financial instruments outstanding at December 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003.
The Company did not recognize any gains or losses related to foreign currency exchange contracts during the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2003.
Income Taxes- Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. Deferred taxes reflect tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts. Deferred taxes have not been provided on the cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries or the cumulative translation adjustment related to those investments since such amounts are expected to be reinvested indefinitely.
Accounting Standards Recently Adopted In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (an interpretation of
11
SCANSOURCE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, 57, and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34). FIN No. 45 clarifies the requirements of SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, relating to a guarantors accounting for, and disclosure of, the issuance of certain types of guarantees. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of FIN No. 45 are applicable to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and the disclosure requirements are applicable to financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 2002. The adoption of FIN No. 45 had no effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and Disclosure. This statement amends the transition requirements of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative, voluntary methods of transition to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. It also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 to require disclosure in the summary of significant accounting policies of the effects of an entitys accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation on reported net income and earnings per share in annual and interim financial statements. The disclosure provision is required for all companies with stock-based employee compensation, regardless of whether the Company utilizes the fair value method of accounting described in SFAS No. 123 or the intrinsic value method described in APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The amendments to the transition and annual disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 were effective for the Companys fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. The Company continues to account for stock-based employee compensation under the intrinsic value method described by APB Opinion No. 25. The adoption of SFAS No. 148 had no effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
In December 2002, the FASBs EITF issued Issue No. 02-16. This issue addresses the appropriate accounting, by a distributor, for cash consideration received from a vendor and became effective for the Company on January 1, 2003. The adoption of EITF No. 02-16 requires that cash consideration received from a vendor should be recorded as a direct reduction to cost of goods sold, unless certain criteria are met. If these criteria are met, then the cash consideration should be a reduction of the operating expense for which it is being reimbursed. The guidance is applicable to all of the Companys vendor arrangements entered into after December 31, 2002.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. FIN 46 clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities (VIEs) created after January 31, 2003, and to VIEs in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. The Company did not create or obtain any interest in a variable interest entity during the period February 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003. However, changes in the Companys business relationships with various entities could occur which may impact its financial statements under the requirements of FIN 46. In December 2003, the FASB published a revision to FIN 46 to clarify some of the provisions and to exempt certain entities from its requirements. Under the new guidance, special effective date provisions apply to enterprises that have fully or partially applied FIN 46 prior to issuance of the revised interpretation. Otherwise, application of Interpretation 46R (FIN 46R) is required in financial statements of public entities that have interests in structures that are commonly referred to as special-purpose entities (SPEs) for periods ending after December 15, 2003. Application by public entities, other than small business issuers, for all other types of VIEs other than SPEs is required in financial statements for periods ending after March 15, 2004. The Company is in the process of evaluating the potential VIEs relationships existing prior to February 1, 2003, and the effect of these relationships on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations is unknown.

(9) Commitments and Contingencies
Guarantees - The Company owns a 25% equity interest in a limited liability company for which it has guaranteed debt up to approximately $446,000. This guarantee was executed prior to the effective date of FIN 45, therefore no liability has been recorded. At June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2003, the limited liability company had assets with an estimated fair market value which were in excess of its liabilities of approximately $2.0 million and approximately $1.8 million, respectively.
Contingencies The Company is in the process of investigating a sales and use tax matter. The Company has recently been notified that it will receive an assessment for a sales and use tax matter for the three calendar years ended 2001. Based upon this notification, the Company has determined a probable range for the disposition of that assessment and for the subsequent periods through December 2003. Although the Company is disputing the assessment, it has accrued $1.65 million for the six months ended December 31, 2003. Although there can be no assurance of the ultimate outcome at this time, the Company intends to vigorously defend its position.

North American Distribution
North American Distribution sales include sales to technology resellers in the United States and Canada (sales to technology resellers in Canada account for approximately 2% of total net sales) from the Companys Memphis, Tennessee distribution center. The 12% increase in North American Distribution sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2003, as compared to the same period in the prior year, was driven by strong sales in all product categories. The increase in the six months ended December 31, 2003, as compared to the same period in the prior year, was driven by strong sales in the AIDC and POS product categories.
The Company restructured its ChannelMax segment into the North American Distribution segment as of July 1, 2003. This included the purchase of the outstanding minority interest in ChannelMax. The segment is now presented in the North American Distribution amounts above. The decrease in the quarter revenues as compared to the same quarter last year of 95% or $2.0 million and the decrease in the six months period as compared to the same six month period last year of 69% or $3.7 million of ChannelMax have been included in the AIDC and POS product line results above.
International Distribution
Sales for the overall international segment increased 61% or $11 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 and 61% or $20 million for the six month period as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The favorable Euro versus United States Dollar (USD) exchange rate accounts for approximately $3.2 million and $5.2 million of the increase for the quarter and six month period ended December 31, 2003, respectively. Without

the benefit of the foreign exchange rates, the increase for the quarter and six month periods ending December 31, 2003, would have been 43% or $7.8 million and 45% or $14.7 million, respectively. The increase in sales was primarily attributable to obtaining additional market share in Europe and Latin America.

North American Distribution
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the North American Distribution segment decreased during the quarter and six-months ended December 31, 2003 primarily from the continued effect of ChannelMaxs reduced fee-based revenues. Over the past year, some customers have significantly decreased their usage of fee-based e-logistic services. Fee-based services are recorded directly to net sales thus having a greater impact on the margin of the segment.
International Distribution
Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, which is typically greater than the North American Distribution segment, increased for the quarter ended December 31,2003 due to an increase in the sales mix of higher margin products. Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, for the six-months ended December 31, 2003 remained consistent with the prior year.

Operating margins as a percentage of net sales for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2003 were lower compared to the same periods of the prior year, primarily due to increased operating expenses as a percentage of net sales and lower gross profit as a percentage of sales as noted above.
Total Other Expense (Income). Other expense (income) consists principally of interest expense and interest income. Interest expense for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2003 was lower due to the decline in interest rates and, to a lesser extent, lower average borrowings on the Companys line of credit during the quarter and six-months ended December 31, 2003 as compared to the same periods in the prior year. Interest income represents interest collected principally from customers. This has decreased for the quarter and six-months ended December 31, 2003 as compared to the same periods of the prior year as a result of decreased sales of certain programs on which the Company earned interest income.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Other income for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2003 was $64,000 and $229,000 respectively. These amounts primarily consist of the transactional foreign currency gains of the International Distribution segment related to the favorable change in the exchange rates between the Euro rates and British Pound. Other expense for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2002 was $16,000 and $48,000, consisting primarily of the Companys loss on an equity investment.
Provision For Income Taxes. Income tax expense was $3.9 million and $4.2 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, reflecting an effective income tax rate of 37.1% and 42.0%, respectively. Income tax expense was $7.5 million and $8.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, reflecting an effective income tax rate of 37.1% and 40.8%, respectively. The higher tax rate for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2002 was attributable to the effect of non-recognition of certain tax benefits related to the European units operating losses during those periods. The provision for income taxes for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2003 reflects the recognition of certain tax benefits related to the European units prior periods operating losses.
Minority Interest in Income of Consolidated Subsidiaries. The Company consolidates two subsidiaries that have a minority ownership interest. For the quarter ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company recorded $121,000 and $110,000, net of income taxes, respectively, of minority interest in the Companys majority owned subsidiaries net income. For the six months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company recorded $120,000 and $283,000, net of income taxes, respectively, of minority interest in the Companys majority owned subsidiaries net income. The decrease in the minorities interest income for the six-month period relates to the purchase of the remaining minority interest in the ChannelMax subsidiary at July 1, 2003.
Net Income. The following table summarizes the Companys net income:

The increase in the amount of net income is attributable to the changes in operating profits and provision for income taxes discussed above.
Impact of Inflation. The Company has not been adversely affected by inflation as technological advances and competition within specialty technology markets has generally caused prices of the products sold by the Company to decline. Management believes that any price increases could be passed on to its customers, as prices charged by the Company are not set by long-term contracts. In most cases, price decreases do not have adverse impact, as vendors will credit the Company for decreases in inventory value.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Companys primary sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations, borrowings under the revolving credit facility, and, to a lesser extent, borrowings under the subsidiaries lines of credit and proceeds from the exercise of stock options.
24
Item2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The Companys cash balance totaled $736,000 at December 31, 2003 compared to $2.6 million at June 30, 2003. Domestic cash is generally swept on a nightly basis to pay down the Companys line of credit under the revolving credit facility. The Companys working capital increased to $152.8 million at December 31, 2003 from $135.0 million at June 30, 2003. The increase in working capital resulted primarily from a $17.5 million increase in its trade and notes receivable.
The increase in the amount of trade and notes receivable is attributable to an increase in sales during the quarter. However, the number of days sales outstanding (DSO) in ending trade receivables has remained comparable at December 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003, at 45 and 44 days, respectively. Inventory turnover improved to 6.7 times at the end of December 31, 2003 from 5.9 times at the end of June 30, 2003.
Cash used in operating activities was $3.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2003 compared to $6.3 million provided by operations for the six months ended December 31, 2002. The increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to changes in current assets and liability accounts for each respective period.
Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2003 was $1.5 million, which included approximately $1.2 million for capital expenditures and $277,000 for additional ownership interests in two of the Companys majority-owned subsidiaries (Netpoint and OUI) and the remaining 10% of minority interest in ChannelMax. The Companys capital expenditures resulted from purchases of software for financial reporting, web-based software for product ordering and configuration, as well as furniture and equipment.
Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2002 was $3.8 million. The main use was capital expenditures of $3.3 million for software and furniture and equipment. In addition, $457,000 of cash was used to purchase additional ownership interests in two of the Companys majority-owned subsidiaries (Netpoint and OUI).
The Company has a revolving credit facility with its bank group maturing on September 30, 2005, with a borrowing limit of the lesser of (i) $80 million or (ii) the sum of 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of (a) 50% of eligible inventory or (b) $40 million. The facility bears interest at the 30-day LIBOR rate of interest plus a rate varying from 1.00% to 2.50% tied to the Companys funded debt to EBITDA ratio ranging from 2.50:1 to 4.25:1 and a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 2.75:1. The effective interest rate at December 31, 2003 was 2.17% and the outstanding balance was $19.4 million on a calculated borrowing base of $80 million, leaving $60.6 million available for additional borrowings. The effective interest rate at June 30, 2003 was 2.57% and the outstanding balance was $18.1 million on a calculated borrowing base of $80 million, leaving $61.9 million available for additional borrowings. The revolving credit facility is collateralized by accounts receivable and eligible inventory. The credit agreement contains various restrictive covenants, including among other things, minimum net worth requirements, capital expenditure limits, maximum funded debt to EBITDA ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio. Effective August 6, 2003, the Company obtained a waiver for certain loan covenants as of June 30, 2003, relating to total amounts of investment, additional debt, and loans and advances, relating to the Companys subsidiaries. In addition, effective August 6, 2003, the Company amended its credit agreement to increase the respective ceilings on these covenants. The Company was in compliance with its covenants at December 31, 2003.
Netpoint, doing business as ScanSource Latin America, has an asset-based line of credit agreement with a bank that is due on demand, maturing on August 30, 2004. The borrowing limit on the line is the lesser

Item2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
of $600,000 or the sum of 75% of domestic accounts receivable and 50% of foreign accounts receivable, plus 10% of eligible inventory (up to $250,000). The facility bears interest at the banks prime rate minus one percent as of the August 30, 2003 renewal date, which was 3.0% at December 31, 2003. Prior to the renewal, the facility bore interest at the banks prime rate plus one percent, which was 5.00% at June 30, 2003. All of Netpoints assets collateralize the line of credit. The Company has guaranteed 68% of the balance on the line, while the remaining 32% of the balance is guaranteed by Netpoints minority shareholder. The line of credit contains certain financial covenants including minimum thresholds for the leverage ratio and current ratio. At December 31, 2003 the outstanding balance was $560,000 and the outstanding standby letters of credit totaled $40,000, leaving no additional borrowing availability. At June 30, 2003, there were no outstanding borrowings on the line of credit, however, outstanding standby letters of credit totaled $40,000 leaving $560,000 available for additional borrowings. Effective February 5, 2004, Netpoint obtained a waiver for a certain loan covenant as of December 31, 2003, relating to the calculation of the current ratio of the subsidiary. In addition, effective February 5, 2004, Netpoint received a proposed amendment to its credit agreement to adjust the ratio related to this covenant. Netpoint was in compliance with the remaining covenants at December 31, 2003.
Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2003 totaled $3.1 million, including $1.2 million in advances under the Companys credit facility and $2.3 million in proceeds from stock option exercises offset by $431,000 in payments on long-term debt. Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2002 totaled $457,000, including $4.9 million in payments on long-term debt and the Companys credit facility offset by $4.4 million in proceeds from stock option exercises.
The Company believes that it has sufficient liquidity to meet its forecasted cash requirements for at least the next fiscal year.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Recently Adopted In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (an interpretation of FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, 57, and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34). FIN No. 45 clarifies the requirements of SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, relating to a guarantors accounting for, and disclosure of, the issuance of certain types of guarantees. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of FIN No. 45 are applicable to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and the disclosure requirements are applicable to financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 2002. The adoption of FIN No. 45 had no effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and Disclosure. This statement amends the transition requirements of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative, voluntary methods of transition to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. It also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 to require disclosure in the summary of significant accounting policies of the effects of an entitys accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation on reported net income and earnings per share in annual and interim financial statements. The disclosure provision is required for all companies with stock-based employee compensation, regardless of whether the Company utilizes the fair value method of
26
Item2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
accounting described in SFAS No. 123 or the intrinsic value method described in APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The amendments to the transition and annual disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 were effective for the Companys fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. The Company continues to account for stock-based employee compensation under the intrinsic value method described by APB Opinion No. 25. The adoption of SFAS No. 148 had no effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
In December 2002, the FASBs EITF issued Issue No. 02-16. This issue addresses the appropriate accounting, by a distributor, for cash consideration received from a vendor and became effective for the Company on January 1, 2003. The adoption of EITF No. 02-16 requires that cash consideration received from a vendor should be recorded as a direct reduction to cost of goods sold, unless certain criteria are met. If these criteria are met, then the cash consideration should be a reduction of the operating expense for which it is being reimbursed. The guidance is applicable to all of the Companys vendor arrangements entered into after December 15, 2002.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. FIN 46 clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities (VIEs) created after January 31, 2003, and to VIEs in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. The Company did not create or obtain any interest in a variable interest entity during the period February 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003. However, changes in the Companys business relationships with various entities could occur which may impact its financial statements under the requirements of FIN 46. In December 2003, the FASB published a revision to FIN 46 to clarify some of the provisions and to exempt certain entities from its requirements. Under the new guidance, special effective date provisions apply to enterprises that have fully or partially applied FIN 46 prior to issuance of the revised interpretation. Otherwise, application of Interpretation 46R (FIN 46R) is required in financial statements of public entities that have interests in structures that are commonly referred to as special-purpose entities (SPEs) for periods ending after December 15, 2003. Application by public entities, other than small business issuers, for all other types of VIEs other than SPEs is required in financial statements for periods ending after March 15, 2004. The Company is in the process of evaluating the potential VIEs relationships existing prior to February 1, 2003, and the effect of these relationships on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations is unknown.
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts. SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 had no effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS No. 150 requires that certain financial instruments, which under previous guidance were accounted for as equity, must now be accounted for as liabilities. The financial instruments affected include mandatorily redeemable stock, certain financial instruments that require or may require the issuer to buy back some of its shares in exchange for cash or other assets and certain obligations that can be settled with shares of stock. SFAS No. 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or
27
Item2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
modified after May 31, 2003 and must be applied to the Companys existing financial instruments effective July 1, 2003, the beginning of the first fiscal period after June 15, 2003. The Company adopted SFAS No. 150 on July 1, 2003. The adoption of this statement had no effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
Guarantees - The Company owns a 25% equity interest in a limited liability company for which it has guaranteed debt up to approximately $446,000. This guarantee was executed prior to the effective date of FIN 45, therefore no liability has been recorded. At June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2003, the limited liability company had assets with an estimated fair market value which were in excess of its liabilities of approximately $2.0 million and approximately $1.8 million, respectively.
28
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Companys principal exposure to changes in financial market conditions in the normal course of its business is a result of its selective use of bank debt and, to a much lesser extent, transacting business in foreign currencies in connection with its foreign operations. The Company has chosen to present this information below in a sensitivity analysis format.
The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of its borrowing activities, which include a revolving credit facility with a bank group used to maintain liquidity and fund the Companys business operations. The nature and amount of the Companys debt may vary as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors. The definitive extent of the Companys interest rate risk is not quantifiable or predictable because of the variability of future interest rates and business financing requirements, but the Company does not believe such risk is material. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates on borrowings on the Companys revolving line of credit, variable rate long term debt and subsidiary lines of credit for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2003 would have resulted in an approximately $105,000 and $226,000 decrease or increase, respectively, in pre-tax income. The Company does not currently use derivative instruments or take other actions to adjust the Companys interest rate risk profile.
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from its foreign operations in Canada, Mexico and Europe. These risks include the translation of local currency balances of foreign subsidiaries, inter-company loans with foreign subsidiaries and transactions denominated in non-functional currencies. The Company monitors its risk associated with the volatility of certain foreign currencies against its functional currencies. The Companys Board of Directors has approved a foreign exchange hedging policy to minimize foreign currency exposure. The Company enters into foreign exchange derivatives to minimize short-term currency risks on cash flows. As of December 31, 2003, all derivative contracts were either settled or had expired. The Company continually evaluates foreign exchange risk and may enter into foreign exchange transactions in accordance with its policy. The Company does not enter into foreign currency transactions for speculative purposes. Foreign currency gains and losses are included in other expense (income).
The Company has elected not to designate its foreign currency contracts as hedging instruments, and therefore, the instruments are marked to market with changes in their values recorded in the income statement each period. The underlying exposures are denominated primarily in British Pounds. There were no outstanding derivative contracts at December 31, 2003.
The Company does not utilize financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes, nor does it utilize leveraged financial instruments. On the basis of the fair value of the Companys market sensitive instruments at December 31, 2003, the Company does not consider the potential near-term losses in future earnings, fair values and cash flows from reasonably possible near-term changes in interest rates and exchange rates to be material.
29
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated, with the participation of management, the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as required by Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on the evaluation, which disclosed no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 of the Exchange Act, that occurred during the Companys most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
