PART I

Item 1.                     Business
 
General
----------
TSR, Inc. (the “Company”) is primarily engaged in the business of providing contract computer programming services to its clients.  The Company provides its clients with technical computer personnel to supplement their in-house information technology (“IT”) capabilities.  The Company’s clients for its contract computer programming services consist primarily of Fortune 1000 companies with significant technology budgets.  In the year ended May 31, 2012, the Company provided IT staffing services to approximately 72 clients.

The Company was incorporated in Delaware in 1969.  The Company’s executive offices are located at 400 Oser Avenue, Hauppauge, NY 11788, and its telephone number is (631) 231-0333.  This annual report, and each of our other periodic and current reports, including any amendments, are available, free of charge, on our website, www.tsrconsulting.com, as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with, or furnished to, the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The information contained on our website is not incorporated by reference into this annual report on Form 10-K and should not be considered part of this report.

Contract Computer Programming Services
----------------------------------------------------
STAFFING SERVICES
The Company’s contract computer programming services involve the provision of technical staff to clients to meet the specialized requirements of their IT operations.  The technical personnel provided by the Company generally supplement the in-house capabilities of the Company’s clients. The Company’s approach is to make available to its clients a broad range of technical personnel to meet their requirements rather than focusing on specific specialized areas.  The Company has staffing capabilities in the areas of mainframe and mid-range computer operations, personal computers and client-server support, internet and e-commerce operations, voice and data communications (including local and wide area networks) and help desk support.  The Company’s services provide clients with flexibility in staffing their day–to-day operations, as well as special projects, on a short-term or long-term basis.

The Company provides technical employees for projects, which usually range from three months to one year.  Generally, clients may terminate projects at any time.  Staffing services are provided at the client’s facility and are billed primarily on an hourly basis based on the actual hours worked by technical personnel provided by the Company and with reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses.  The Company pays its technical personnel on a semi-monthly basis and invoices its clients, not less frequently than monthly.

The Company’s success is dependent upon, among other things, its ability to attract and retain qualified professional computer personnel.  The Company believes that there is significant competition for software professionals with the skills and experience necessary to perform the services offered by the Company.  Although the Company generally has been successful in attracting employees with the skills needed to fulfill customer engagements, demand for qualified professionals conversant with certain technologies may outstrip supply as new and additional skills are required to keep pace with evolving computer technology or as competition for technical personnel increase.  Increasing demand for qualified personnel could also result in increased expenses to hire and retain qualified technical personnel and could adversely affect the Company’s profit margins.

In the past few years, an increasing number of companies are using or are considering using low cost offshore outsourcing centers, particularly in India, to perform technology related work and projects.  This trend has contributed to the decline in domestic IT staffing revenue.  There can be no assurance that this trend will not continue to adversely impact the Company’s IT staffing revenue.

OPERATIONS
The Company provides contract computer programming services in the New York metropolitan area, New England, and the Mid-Atlantic region. The Company provides its services principally through offices located in New York, New York, Edison, New Jersey and Long Island, New York.  The Company does not currently intend to open additional offices. Until recently, due to the continuing impact of the current economic environment, the Company did not hire additional account executives.  The Company has hired additional technical recruiters to address increased requests by clients for submissions of qualified technical personnel for potential positions, although such submissions have not yet resulted in increased placements.  During the past eighteen months, the Company established a program to hire and train recent college graduates to become technical recruiters. The initial costs associated with the hiring and training of such personnel have increased the costs of recruitment, although, over time, the Company believes this program will provide the Company with a larger pool of skilled technical recruiters at a lower cost than hiring experienced technical recruiters. The Company has also recently hired additional account executives in an effort to increase growth. As of May 31, 2012, the Company employed 20 persons who are responsible for recruiting technical personnel and 11 persons who are account executives.  As of May 31, 2011 the Company had employed 17 technical personnel recruiters and 8 account executives.

MARKETING AND CLIENTS
The Company focuses its marketing efforts on large businesses and institutions with significant IT budgets and recurring staffing and software development needs.  The Company provided services to approximately 72 clients during the year ended May 31, 2012 as compared to 71 in the prior fiscal year.  The Company has historically derived a significant percentage of its total revenue from a relatively small number of clients.  In the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012, the Company had two clients which each consisted of more than 10% of consolidated revenues. The largest of these was Beeline which provides vendor management services under an arrangement where the Company enters into a subcontract with Beeline and Beeline directly contracts with three of the Company’s end clients. Beeline, constituted 13.9% of consolidated revenue for the year ended May 31, 2012 for all three end clients combined, of which Bristol Myers Squibb constituted 10.1% alone.  Additionally, Credit Suisse accounted for 10.7% consolidated revenue for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012.  Additionally, the Company’s top ten clients (including end clients of vendor management companies) accounted for 73% of consolidated revenue in fiscal 2012 and 87% in fiscal 2011.  While continuing its efforts to expand further its client base, the Company’s marketing efforts are focused primarily on increasing business from its existing accounts. Approximately 26% of the Company’s end clients are in the financial services business. Conditions in financial services have affected the net effective rates that the Company charges to certain of the Company’s end clients in this industry, which has negatively affected the Company’s gross profit margins.

Many of the Company’s major customers have retained a third party to provide vendor management services and centralize the consultant hiring process.  Under this system, the third party retains the Company to provide contract computer programming services, the Company bills the third party and the third party bills the ultimate customer.  This process has weakened the relationships the Company has built with its client contacts, the project managers, who the Company would normally work directly with to place consultants.  Instead, the Company is required to interface with the vendor management provider, making it more difficult to maintain its relationships with its customers and preserve and expand its business.  These changes have also reduced the Company’s profit margins because the vendor management company is retained for the purpose of keeping costs down for the end client and receives a processing fee which is deducted from the payment to the Company.

In accordance with industry practice, most of the Company’s contracts for contract computer programming services are terminable by either the client or the Company on short notice.  The Company does not believe that backlog is material to its business.

PROFESSIONAL STAFF AND RECRUITMENT
In addition to using internet based job boards such as Dice, Monster and E-financial, the Company maintains a database of technical personnel with a wide range of skills.  The Company uses a sophisticated proprietary computer system to match potential employee’s skills and experience with client requirements.  The Company periodically contacts personnel within its database to update their availability, skills, employment interests and other matters and continually updates its database.  This database is made available to the account executives and recruiters at each of the Company’s offices.

The Company employs technical personnel primarily on an hourly basis, as required in order to meet the staffing requirements under particular contracts or for particular projects.  The Company recruits technical personnel by posting jobs on the Internet, publishing advertisements in local newspapers and attending job fairs on a periodic basis.  The Company devotes significant resources to recruiting technical personnel, maintaining 20 recruiters based in the U.S. and contracting
 
 
Page 5

 
with an India based company for 5 recruiters in India to help locate U.S. based technical consultants.  Potential applicants are generally interviewed and tested by the Company’s recruiting personnel, by third parties that have the required technical backgrounds to review the qualifications of the applicants, or by on-line testing services.  In some cases, instead of employing technical personnel directly, the Company uses subcontractors who employ the technical personnel who are provided to the Company’s customers.

Competition
----------------
The technical staffing industry is highly competitive and fragmented and has low barriers to entry.  The Company competes for potential clients with providers of outsourcing services, systems integrators, computer systems consultants, other providers of technical staffing services and, to a lesser extent, temporary personnel agencies.  Many of the Company’s competitors are significantly larger and have greater financial resources than the Company.  The Company believes that the principal competitive factors in obtaining and retaining clients are accurate assessment of clients’ requirements, timely assignment of technical employees with appropriate skills and the price of services.  The principal competitive factors in attracting qualified technical personnel are compensation, availability, quality and variety of projects and schedule flexibility.  The Company believes that many of the technical personnel included in its database may also be pursuing other employment opportunities.  Therefore, the Company believes that its responsiveness to the needs of technical personnel is an important factor in the Company’s ability to fill projects.  Although the Company believes it competes favorably with respect to these factors, it expects competition to increase and there can be no assurance that the Company will remain competitive.

Intellectual Property Rights
------------------------------------
The Company relies primarily upon a combination of trade secret, nondisclosure and other contractual arrangements to protect its proprietary rights.  The Company generally enters into confidentiality agreements with its employees, consultants, clients and potential clients and limits access to and distribution of its proprietary information.  There can be no assurance that the steps taken by the Company in this regard will be adequate to deter misappropriation of its proprietary information or that the Company will be able to detect unauthorized use and take appropriate steps to enforce its intellectual property rights.

Personnel
-------------
As of May 31, 2012, the Company employs 195 people including its 3 executive officers.  Of such employees 11 are engaged in sales, 20 are recruiters for programmers, 150 are technical and programming consultants, and 11 are in administrative and clerical functions. None of the Company’s employees belong to unions.

Item 1A.                  Risk Factors
                 
Certain statements contained in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business”, 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 factors set forth below.

Dependence Upon Key Personnel.

The Company is dependent on its Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President, Joseph Hughes.  The Company does not have an employment agreement with Mr. Joseph Hughes.  The Company is also dependent on its Senior Vice President and President of TSR Consulting Services, Christopher Hughes. The Company has an employment agreement with Mr. Christopher Hughes which expires February 28, 2017. The Company is also dependent on certain of its account executives who are responsible for servicing its principal customers and attracting new customers.  The Company does not have employment contracts with these persons.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to retain its existing personnel or find and attract additional qualified employees.  The loss of the service of any of these personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Dependence on Significant Customers.

In the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012, the Company’s two largest clients, Beeline and Credit Suisse accounted for 13.9% and 10.7% of the Company’s consolidated revenue, respectively.  Beeline is a vendor management company through which the Company provides services to three end clients, of which Bristol Myers Squibb is the most significant. The Company’s ten
 
Page 6

 
largest clients constituted 73% of consolidated revenue in fiscal 2012. Client contract terms vary depending on the nature of the engagement, and there can be no assurance that a client will renew a contract when it terminates.  In addition, the Company’s contracts are generally cancelable by the client at any time on short notice, and clients may unilaterally reduce their use of the Company’s services under such contracts without penalty. Approximately 26% of the Company’s end clients are in the financial services business. Conditions in financial services have affected the net effective rates that the Company charges to certain of the Company’s end clients in this industry, which has negatively affected the Company’s gross profit margins.  See “Rapidly Changing Industry” below.

In addition, because of the amount of outstanding receivables that the Company may have with its larger clients at any one time, if a client, including a vendor management company which then contracts with the ultimate client, filed for bankruptcy protection, it could prevent the Company from collecting on the receivables and have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

Competitive Market for Technical Personnel.

The Company’s success is dependent upon its ability to attract and retain qualified computer professionals to provide as temporary personnel to its clients.  Competition for the limited number of qualified professionals with a working knowledge of certain sophisticated computer languages, which the Company requires for its contract computer services business, is intense.  The Company believes that there is a shortage of, and significant competition for, software professionals with the skills and experience necessary to perform the services offered by the Company.

The Company’s ability to maintain and renew existing engagements and obtain new business in its contract computer programming business depends, in large part, on its ability to hire and retain technical personnel with the IT skills that keep pace with continuing changes in software evolution, industry standards and technologies, and client preferences.  Although the Company generally has been successful in attracting employees with the skills needed to fulfill customer engagements, demand for qualified professionals conversant with certain technologies may outstrip supply as new and additional skills are required to keep pace with evolving computer technology or as competition for technical personnel increases.  Increasing demand for qualified personnel could also result in increased expenses to hire and retain qualified technical personnel and could adversely affect the Company’s profit margins.

Competitive Market for Account Executives and Technical Recruiters

The Company faces a highly competitive market for the limited number of qualified personnel. Until recently, for several years during the current economic downturn, the Company had not been seeking to increase the number of account executives, although the Company has been hiring technical recruiters. The competitive market for such personnel could affect the Company’s ability to hire such personnel, and, if the Company is successful in hiring such personnel, there can be no assurance that such hiring will result in increased revenue.

Rapidly Changing Industry

The computer industry is characterized by rapidly changing technology and evolving industry standards.  These include the overall increase in the sophistication and interdependency of computer technology and a focus by IT managers on cost-efficient solutions. There can be no assurance that these changes will not adversely affect demand for technical staffing services.  Organizations may elect to perform such services in-house or outsource such functions to companies that do not utilize temporary staffing, such as that provided by the Company.

Additionally, a number of companies have, in recent years, limited the number of vendors on their approved vendor lists, and are continuing to do so. In some cases this has required the Company to sub-contract with a company on the approved vendor list to provide services to customers.  The staffing industry has also experienced margin erosion caused by this increased competition, and customers leveraging their buying power by consolidating the number of vendors with which they deal.

In addition to these factors, there has been intense price competition in the area of IT staffing, pressure on billing rates and pressure by customers for discounts.

The Company cannot predict at this time what long-term effect these changes will have on the Company’s business and results of operations.
 
Page 7

 
Vendor Management Companies

There have been changes in the industry which have affected the Company’s operating results.  Many customers have retained third parties to provide vendor management services.  The third party is then responsible for retaining companies to provide temporary IT personnel.  This results in the Company contracting with such third parties and not directly with the ultimate customer.  This change weakens the Company’s relationship with its customer, which makes it more difficult for the Company to maintain and expand its business.  It also reduces the Company’s profit margins.

In addition, the agreement with the vendor management companies are frequently structured as subcontracting agreements with the vendor management company entering into a services agreement directly with the end clients.  As a result, in the event of a bankruptcy of a vendor management company, the Company’s ability to collect its outstanding receivables and continue to provide services could be adversely affected.

Effect of Current Economic Uncertainties and Limited Growth in Company’s Business

Demand for the Company’s IT staffing services has been and is significantly affected by the general economic environment.  During periods of slowing economic activity, customers may reduce their IT projects and their demand for outside consultants.  As a result, any significant economic downturn could have material adverse affect on the Company’s results of operations.  As a result of the broad based economic downturn, the Company has experienced a decrease in the number of consultants on billing with customers. While customers’ IT spending during the 2012 fiscal year appears to have increased, any improvements have been slow and uncertain, with a decrease in profitability on placements, particularly those with financial services clients. The Company expects that economic conditions will continue to affect the number of consultants on billing with customers and the Company’s profitability. In addition to the impact of the economic uncertainties, the Company has not been successful in increasing its penetration with existing customers or expanding its customer base.  There is no assurance that the Company will achieve growth in its sales at such time as the Company’s business is not affected by the current economic conditions.

Effect of Increases in Payroll-related Costs

The Company is required to pay a number of federal, state and local payroll and related costs, including unemployment insurance, workers’ compensation insurance, employers’ portion of Social Security and Medicare taxes, among others, for our employees, including those placed with clients. Significant increases in the effective rates of any payroll-related costs would likely have a material adverse effect on the Company. Recently, many of the states in which the Company conducts business have significantly increased their state unemployment tax rates in an effort to increase funding for unemployment benefits. Costs could also increase as a result of health care reforms and the imposition of penalties for failure to provide health insurance to temporary employees under the health care reform statute that was enacted and recently affirmed by the Supreme Court. The Company may not be able to increase the fees charged to its clients sufficient to cover these potential cost increases.

Effect of Offshore Outsourcing

The current trend of companies moving technology jobs and projects offshore has caused and could continue to cause revenue to decline.  In the past few years, more companies are using or are considering using low cost offshore outsourcing centers, particularly in India and other eastern Asia countries, to perform technology related work and projects. This trend has contributed to the decline in domestic IT staffing revenue for the industry.  There can be no assurance that this trend will not continue to adversely impact the Company’s IT staffing revenue.
 
Effect of Immigration Restrictions
 
The Company obtains many of its technical personnel by subcontracting with companies that utilize foreign nationals entering the U.S. on work visas, primarily under the H-1B visa classification. The H-1B visa classification enables U.S. employers to hire qualified foreign nationals in positions that require an education at least equal to a bachelor’s degree. U.S. Immigration laws and regulations are subject to legislative and administrative changes, as well as changes in the application of standards and enforcement. Current and future restrictions on the availability of such visas could restrain the Company’s ability to acquire the skilled professionals needed to meet our clients’ requirements, which could have a material adverse
 
Page 8

 
effect on our business. The scope and impact of these changes on the staffing industry and the Company remains unclear, however a narrow interpretation and vigorous enforcement could adversely affect the ability of entities with which the Company subcontracts to utilize foreign nationals and/or renew existing foreign national consultants on assignment. There can be no assurance that the Company’s subcontractors will be able to keep or replace all foreign nationals currently on assignment, or continue to acquire foreign national talent at the same rates as in the past.

Fluctuations in Quarterly Operating Results.

The Company’s revenue and operating results are subject to significant variations from quarter to quarter.  Revenue is subject to fluctuation based upon a number of factors, including the timing and number of client projects commenced and completed during the quarter, delays incurred in connection with projects, the growth rate of the market for contract computer programming services and general economic conditions.  Unanticipated termination of a project or the decision by a client not to proceed to the next stage of a project anticipated by the Company could result in decreased revenue and lower utilization rates which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.  Compensation levels can be impacted by a variety of factors, including competition for highly skilled employees and inflation.  The Company’s operating results are also subject to fluctuation as a result of other factors.

Competition.

The technical staffing industry is highly competitive and fragmented and has low barriers to entry.  The Company competes for potential clients with providers of outsourcing services, systems integrators, computer systems consultants, other providers of technical staffing services and, to a lesser extent, temporary personnel agencies.   The Company competes for technical personnel with other providers of technical staffing services, systems integrators, providers of outsourcing services, computer systems consultants, clients and temporary personnel agencies.  Many of the Company’s competitors are significantly larger and have greater financial resources than the Company.  The Company believes that the principal competitive factors in obtaining and retaining clients are accurate assessment of clients’ requirements, timely assignment of technical employees with appropriate skills and the price of services.  The principal competitive factors in attracting qualified technical personnel are compensation, availability, quality and variety of projects and schedule flexibility.  The Company believes that many of the technical personnel included in its database may also be pursuing other employment opportunities.  Therefore, the Company believes that its responsiveness to the needs of technical personnel is an important factor in the Company’s ability to fill projects.  Although the Company believes it competes favorably with respect to these factors, it expects competition to increase, and there can be no assurance that the Company will remain competitive.

Potential for Contract and Other Liability.

The personnel provided by the Company to clients provide services involving key aspects of its clients’ software applications.  A failure in providing these services could result in a claim for substantial damages against the Company, regardless of the Company’s responsibility for such failure.  The Company attempts to limit, contractually, its liability for damages arising from negligence or omissions in rendering services, but it is not always successful in negotiating such limits.  However, due to increased competition and the requirements of vendor management companies, the Company may be required to accept less favorable terms regarding limitations on liability, including assuming obligations to indemnify clients for damages sustained in connection with the provision of our services. There can be no assurance our contracts will include the desired limitations of liability or that the limitations of liability set forth in its contracts would be enforceable or would otherwise protect the Company from liability for damages.

The Company’s contract computer programming services business involves assigning technical personnel to the workplace of the client, typically under the client’s supervision. Although the Company has little control over the client’s workplace, the Company may be exposed to claims of discrimination and harassment and other similar claims as a result of inappropriate actions allegedly taken against technical personnel by clients.  As an employer, the Company is also exposed to other possible employment-related claims. The Company is exposed to liability with respect to actions taken by its technical personnel while on a project, such as damages caused by technical personnel, errors, and misuse of client proprietary information or theft of client property.  To reduce such exposures, the Company maintains insurance policies and a fidelity bond covering general liability, worker’s compensation claims, errors and omissions and employee theft.  In certain instances, the Company indemnifies its clients from the foregoing and claims have been made against the Company.  Certain of these cost and liabilities are not covered by insurance.  There can be no assurance that insurance coverage will continue to be available and at its current price or that it will be adequate to, or will, cover any such liability.

Intellectual Property Rights.

The Company relies primarily upon a combination of trade secret, nondisclosure and other contractual agreements to protect its proprietary rights.  The Company generally enters into confidentiality agreements with its employees, consultants, clients and potential clients and limits access to and distribution of its proprietary information.  There can be no assurance that the steps taken by the Company in this regard will be adequate to deter misappropriation of its proprietary information or that the Company will be able to detect unauthorized use and take appropriate steps to enforce its intellectual property rights.

Voting Power of Major Shareholder

Joseph F. Hughes and members of his family own Common Stock, representing approximately 46% of the Company’s voting power as of July 31, 2012.  As such, Joseph Hughes has significant voting power on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s common shareholders.

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions May Inhibit a Change of Control

In addition to the significant ownership of Common Stock by Joseph F. Hughes, certain provisions of the Company’s charter and by-laws may have the effect of discouraging a third party from making an acquisition proposal for the Company and may thereby inhibit a change in control of the Company under circumstances that could give the holders of Common Stock the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market prices.  Such provisions include a classified Board of Directors, advance notice requirements for nomination of directors and certain shareholder proposals set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and by-laws.

New Classes and Series of Stock

The Company’s charter authorizes the Board of Directors to create new classes and series of preferred stock and to establish the preferences and rights of any such classes and series without further action of the shareholders.  The issuance of additional classes and series of Capital Stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company.

The Company’s stock price could be extremely volatile and, as a result, investors may not be able to resell their shares at or above the price they paid for them.

Among the factors that could affect the Company’s stock price are:

-  
limited float and a low average daily trading volume;
-  
industry trends and the performance of the Company’s customers;
-  
fluctuations in the Company’s results of operations;
-  
litigation; and
-  
general market conditions.

The stock market has and may in the future experience extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies.  These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common stock.

Revenue
------------
Revenue consists primarily of revenue from computer programming consulting services.  Revenue for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012 increased $5,873,000 or 14.9% from fiscal 2011.  The average number of consultants on billing with customers increased from approximately 236 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011 to 264 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012.

Beginning with the broad based economic downturn in 2008 and continuing for several years through fiscal 2010, the Company experienced a decrease in the number of consultants on billing with customers and reduced opportunities to place new consultants on billing with customers. Since fiscal 2011, there have been indications that there are improvements in the economy and that levels of business activity are increasing, 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, specifically in the gross profit generated from the placements of consultants on billing with customers, particularly with customers in the financial services industry. The Company believes that the economic outlook remains uncertain.
 
Page 13

 
Cost of Sales
-----------------
Cost of sales increased by $5,599,000 or 17.4%, in fiscal 2012 from fiscal 2011.  Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue increased to 83.5% in fiscal 2012 from 81.7% in fiscal 2011. The increase in cost of sales resulted primarily from an increased number of consultants on billing with customers. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to discount programs and rate reductions at a few of the Company’s major financial services customers.
 
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 $758,000, or 11.3%, to $7,466,000 in fiscal 2012 from $6,708,000 in fiscal 2011.  This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of recruiting personnel and the initial costs of hiring and training such personnel. The Company has hired additional technical recruiters to address increased requests by clients for submission of technical personnel for potential positions, although such submissions have not yet resulted in a proportional increase in placements.   During the past eighteen months, the Company established a program to hire and train recent college graduates to become technical recruiters. The initial costs associated with the hiring and training of such personnel have increased the costs of recruitment, although, over time, the Company believes this program will provide the Company with a larger pool of skilled technical recruiters at a lower cost than hiring experienced technical recruiters. The Company also hired additional account representatives in an effort to increase growth. Additionally, these expenses decreased, as a percentage of revenue, from 17.1% in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011 to 16.5% in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012.

Other Income
------------------
Fiscal 2012 other income resulted primarily from interest and dividend income of $12,000, which decreased by $8,000 from the level realized in 2011 due to lower rates of interest earned on the Company’s US Treasury securities, certificates of deposit and money market accounts.

Income Taxes
------------------
The effective income tax rate was 48.1% in fiscal 2011.  The effective income tax rate for 2012 is not meaningful due to state minimum or alternative taxes exceeding taxable income.

Consolidated Net Income (Loss)
-------------------------------------------
Consolidated net income decreased from $261,000 in fiscal 2011 to a loss of $12,000 in fiscal 2012.  Consolidated net income decreased primarily due to higher cost of sales as a percentage of revenue.  Also, recruiting expenses continue to increase due to increased client specifications, pricing and other competitive pressures. Selling expenses also increased as additional account executives were hired for the first time since the economic downturn.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Changes in Financial Condition
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company expects that cash flow generated from operations together with its available cash and marketable securities will be sufficient to provide the Company with adequate resources to meet its liquidity requirements for the next 12 months.

At May 31, 2012, the Company had working capital (total current assets in excess of total current liabilities) of $12,402,000 including cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit and marketable securities of $8,035,000 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.

Net cash flow of $359,000 was provided by operations during fiscal 2012 as compared to $826,000 of net cash flow used in operations in fiscal 2011.  The cash provided by operations for fiscal 2012 primarily resulted from a decrease in accounts receivable of $193,000 in addition to an increase in accounts and other payables and accrued expenses and other liabilities of $284,000.  The cash used in operations for fiscal 2011 primarily resulted from an increase in accounts receivable of $2,414,000 which was mitigated to some extent by an increase in accounts and other payables and accrued expenses and other current liabilities of  $1,186,000.

Net cash provided by investing activities amounted to $2,734,000 for fiscal 2012, compared to $265,000 in net cash used in investing activities in fiscal 2011.  The change in net cash from investing activities between fiscal 2012 and 2011 primarily resulted from maturities of US Treasury securities and certificates of deposit.

Net cash used in financing activities of $224,000 during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012 resulted from purchases of treasury stock of $153,000 and distributions of $71,000 to the holder of the noncontrolling interest in the Company’s subsidiary, Logixtech Solutions LLC. Net cash used in financing activities of $75,000 during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011 resulted from purchases of treasury stock of $26,000 and distributions of $49,000 to the noncontrolling interest.

The Company’s capital resource commitments at May 31, 2012 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 liquidity requirements during fiscal 2012.

Impact of New Accounting Standards
--------------------------------------------------
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 its consolidated financial statements, contained elsewhere in this report.  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 on our historical experience, customer types, credit worthiness, economic trends 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, or in their willingness to pay, could have a material adverse effect on the collectibility of our accounts receivable and our future operating results.

Valuation of Marketable Securities
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 up to 24 months), such securities have been classified as held-to-maturity and are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.  The Company’s equity securities are classified as trading securities, which are carried at fair value, as determined by quoted market price, which is Level 1 input, as established by the fair value hierarchy. The related unrealized gains and losses are included in earnings.

Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets
We regularly evaluate our ability to recover the reported amount of our deferred income tax assets 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Stockholders
TSR, Inc.
Hauppauge, New York

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TSR, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of May 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, equity and cash flows for the years then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis of our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TSR, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of May 31, 2012 and 2011, and their results of operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 2012 and 2011


(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a)  
Business, Nature of Operations and Customer Concentrations
TSR, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) are primarily engaged in providing contract computer programming services to commercial customers located primarily in the Metropolitan New York area.  The Company provides its clients with technical computer personnel to supplement their in-house information technology capabilities. In fiscal 2012, two customers accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenue, constituting a combined 24.6%.  The largest of these constituted 13.9% of consolidated revenue. In fiscal 2011, four customers accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenue, constituting a combined 50.0%.  The largest of the four constituted 16.9% of consolidated revenue. The accounts receivable balances associated with the Company’s largest customers were $1,802,000 and $1,669,000 at May 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  The Company operates in one business segment, computer programming services.

(b)  
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TSR, Inc. and its subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(c)  
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 completion of the related services and credit balances from overpayments.

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

(d)  
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 May 31, 2012 and 2011:
 
    2012     2011  
Cash in banks
  $ 4,665,956     $ 2,006,200  
Money market funds
    2,848,793       2,639,654  
    $ 7,514,749     $ 4,645,854

(e)  
Marketable Securities
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 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 May 31, 2012 and 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 deposits 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 a 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 May 31, 2012 and 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.

(f)  
Accounts Receivable and Credit Policies:
The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by a valuation allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected.  In addition to reviewing delinquent accounts receivable, management considers many factors in estimating its general allowance, including historical data, experience, customer types, credit worthiness and economic trends.  From time to time, management may adjust its assumptions for anticipated changes in any of those or other factors expected to affect collectability.

(g)  
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization of equipment and leasehold improvements has been computed using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:
 
Equipment
3 years
Furniture and fixtures
3 years
Automobiles
3 years
Leasehold improvements
Lesser of lease term or useful life

(h)  
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders (which for the Company equals its net income (loss)) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  The Company had no stock options or other common stock equivalents outstanding during the fiscal years ended May 31, 2012 or 2011.

(i)  
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities at enacted rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled.  The effect of enacted tax law or rate changes is reflected in income in the period of enactment.

(j)  
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 consolidated financial statements approximate fair value because of the short-term maturities of these instruments.

(k)  
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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Such estimates include, but are not limited to provisions for doubtful accounts receivable and assessments of the recoverability of the Company’s deferred tax assets.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(l)  
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  If the sum of the expected cash flows undiscounted and without interest, is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.

(m)  
Impact of New Accounting Standards
The Company is not aware of any new accounting pronouncements that would have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
(n)  
Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposit, marketable securities and accounts receivable.  The Company places its cash equivalents with high-credit quality financial institutions and brokerage houses.  The Company has substantially all of its cash in four bank accounts. At times, such amounts may exceed Federally insured limits.   The Company holds its marketable securities, which consist primarily of United States Treasury Securities, directly with the Treasury and in brokerage accounts.  The Company has not experienced losses in any such accounts.  The Company’s accounts receivable represent approximately 51 accounts with open balances of which, the largest customer, as a percentage of revenue, consisted of 20.6% of the net accounts receivable balance at May 31, 2012.

    $ 137,000     $ 105,000     $ 242,000  
 

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred income tax assets at May 31, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:
 
   
2012
   
2011
 
Allowance for doubtful accounts receivable
  $ 86,000     $ 86,000  
Equipment and leasehold improvement
               
    depreciation and amortization

    24,000       28,000  
                   Total deferred income tax assets
  $ 133,000     $ 137,000  
 

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.

Item 9.                     Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
              
None

 
Item 9A.                  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 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 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.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.  The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act.  Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective as of May 31, 2012.

Internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations.  Therefore, internal control over financial reporting determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
