TSR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
November 30, 2011
(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 and six months ended November 30, 2011 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, 2012.  The balance sheet at May 31, 2011 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date.  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, 2011.

2.  
Net Income Per Common Share
-----------------------------------------
Net income per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to TSR by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  The Company has had no stock options or other common stock equivalents outstanding during any of the periods presented.

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 November 30, 2011 and May 31, 2011:
 
   
November 30,
2011
   
May 31,
2011
 
Cash in banks
  $ 2,028,453     $ 2,006,200  
Money market funds
    3,542,412       2,639,654  
    $ 5,570,865     $ 4,645,854  
 
 
4.  
Revenue Recognition
-----------------------------
The Company’s contract computer programming services are generally provided under time and materials arrangements with its customers.  Revenue is recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.  These conditions occur when a customer agreement is effected and the consultant performs the authorized services.  Revenue is recorded net of all discounts and processing fees. Advances from customers represent amounts received from customers prior to the Company’s provision of the related services and credit balances from overpayments.

Reimbursements received by the Company for out-of-pocket expenses are characterized as revenue.

5.  
Marketable Securities
-----------------------------
In fiscal 2009, the Company adopted new accounting standards related to fair value measurements. The Company has characterized its investments in marketable securities, based on the priority of the inputs used to value the investments, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), and lowest priority to unobservable inputs   (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the investments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

Investments recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1- These are investments where values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in an active market the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2- These are investments where values are based on quoted market prices that are not active or model derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.

Level 3- These are investments where values are derived from techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.

The following are the major categories of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of November 30, 2011 and May 31, 2011 using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2) and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

  $ 2,016,542     $ 1,250,000     $     $ 3,266,542  

 

Based upon the Company’s intent and ability to hold its US Treasury securities and certificates of deposit to maturity (which maturities range up to twenty four months at purchase), such securities have been classified as held-to-maturity and are carried at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The Company’s equity securities are classified as trading securities, which are carried at fair value, as determined by quoted market prices, which is Level 1 input, as established by the fair value hierarchy. The related unrealized gains and losses are included in earnings.  The Company’s marketable securities at November 30, 2011 and May 31, 2011 are summarized as follows:

The Company’s investments in marketable securities consist primarily of investments in US Treasury securities and certificates of deposit. Market values were determined for each individual security in the investment portfolio.  When evaluating the investments for other-than temporary impairment, the Company reviews factors such as length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time, which may be sufficient for anticipated recovery in market values.

6. 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
----------------------------------------------
ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments”, requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. For cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts and other payables, accrued liabilities and advances from customers, the amounts presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements approximate fair value because of the short-term maturities of these instruments.

Revenue
------------
Revenue consists primarily of revenue from computer programming consulting services.  Revenue for the quarter ended November 30, 2011 increased $1,358,000 or 13.9% from the prior year quarter.  The average number of consultants on billing with customers increased from approximately 232 for the quarter ended November 30, 2010 to 265 for the quarter ended November 30, 2011.

Beginning with the broad based economic downturn in 2008 and continuing for several years, the Company experienced a decrease in the number of consultants on billing with customers and reduced the opportunities to place new consultants on billing with customers. In the past year, the level of business activity has picked up, resulting in an increase in opportunities to place consultants on billing with customers. Although customers’ IT spending may be increasing and consultants on billing with customers has increased, the Company is still experiencing the impact of the economic downturn.  The Company believes that the economic outlook remains uncertain and any improvements in the Company’s number of consultants on billing with customers appear to be slow and uncertain. The turmoil in the world economy has added to the uncertainty.

Cost of Sales
-----------------
Cost of sales for the quarter ended November 30, 2011, increased $1,370,000 or 17.4% to $9,224,000 from $7,854,000 in the prior year period.  The increase in cost of sales resulted primarily from the increase in the number of consultants on billing with clients.  Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue increased from 80.5% in the quarter ended November 30, 2010 to 83.0% in the quarter ended November 30, 2011.  The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to more demanding client specifications, pricing and other competitive pressures across our customer base.

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 $204,000 or 12.7% from $1,611,000 in the quarter ended November 30, 2010 to $1,815,000 in the quarter ended November 30, 2011.  This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of recruiting personnel. During the past fiscal year, the Company established a program to hire and train recent college graduates to become recruiters. The initial costs associated with the hiring and training of such personnel have increased selling, general and administrative expenses.  Technical recruiters have been hired in order to address increased requests by clients for submissions of technical personnel for potential position. Such increased submissions have not yet led to the expected increases in placements.  The Company expects these expenses to continue to increase as more recruiting trainees and sales executives are hired to stimulate growth.  Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenue, decreased from 16.5% in the quarter ended November 30, 2010 to 16.3% in the quarter ended November 30, 2011 as a result of increased revenue.

Other Income
-----------------
Other income for the quarter ended November 30, 2011 resulted primarily from interest and dividend income of $3,000, which decreased by $2,000 from the level realized in the quarter ended November 30, 2010 due to lower interest rates earned on the Company’s US Treasury securities, certificates of deposit and money market accounts.

Income Taxes
------------------
The income tax provision included in the Company’s results of operations for the quarters ended November 30, 2011 and 2010 reflect the Company’s estimated effective tax rate for the years ending May 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These rates were 53.0% for the quarter ended November 30, 2011 and 41.3% for the quarter ended November 30, 2010. The tax rate in the current quarter was impacted by the increased effects of state minimum taxes and non-deductible expenses on lower taxable income.

Consolidated Net Income
----------------------------------
Net income decreased $137,000 from $176,000 in the quarter ended November 30, 2010 to $39,000 in the quarter ended November 30, 2011.  The decrease was primarily attributable to the increase in costs of sales, which increased at a greater rate than revenue.

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 $369,000 or 11.4% from $3,248,000 in the six months ended November 30, 2010 to $3,617,000 in the six months ended November 30, 2011.  This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of recruiting personnel.  During the past fiscal year, the Company established a program to hire and train recent college graduates to become recruiters.

These rates were 47.2% for the six months ended November 30, 2011 and 42.1% for the six months ended November 30, 2010.  The tax rate in the current period was impacted by the increased effects of state minimum taxes and non-deductible expenses on lower taxable income.

Consolidated Net Income
----------------------------------

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 at least the next 12 months.

At November 30, 2011, the Company had working capital (total current assets in excess of total current liabilities) of $12,627,000 including cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit and marketable securities of $7,840,000 as compared to working capital of $12,388,000 including cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit and marketable securities of $7,662,000 at May 31, 2011.

For the six months ended November 30, 2011, net cash provided by operating activities was $47,000 compared to cash used in operating activities of $1,285,000 for the six months ended November 30, 2010, or an increase in cash provided by operating activities of $1,332,000.  The cash provided by operating activities primarily resulted from consolidated net income. An increase in accounts receivable of $202,000 was offset by increase in accounts and other payables and accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $196,000.  The cash used in operating activities in the six months ended November 30, 2010, resulted primarily from an increase in accounts receivable.

Net cash provided by investing activities of $989,000 for the six months ended November 30, 2011 primarily resulted from the maturities of US Treasury securities and certificates of deposit.

Net cash used in financing activities resulted from distributions to the noncontrolling interest of $7,000 and the purchases of 25,125 shares of common stock for $104,076 in the six months ended November 30, 2011.  In December 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company reaffirmed a plan previously approved in December 2007 authorizing the repurchase of shares of common stock and approximately 89,122 shares remain available for purchase under this plan.  The number of shares purchased and the remaining shares authorized to be purchased have been adjusted for a 1:2 reverse split effective November 29, 2010.  In the six months ended November 30, 2010, net cash used in financing activities resulted from a distribution to the noncontrolling interest of $7,000 and the purchases of 5,700 shares of common stock for $25,726.

The Company’s capital resource commitments at November 30, 2011 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.

The Company’s cash and marketable securities were sufficient to enable it to meet its cash requirements during the three months ended November 30, 2011.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
---------------------------------------------
The Company is not aware of any new accounting pronouncements that would have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

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, 2011 Annual Report on Form10-K, as filed with the SEC.  The Company believes that those accounting policies require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments.  There have been no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies as of November 30, 2011.

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 accounting officer, of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)).  Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal accounting 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 Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-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.
