Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Rand Worldwide, Inc. (“Rand Worldwide”) is a leading supplier in the design automation, facilities and data management software marketplace. Rand Worldwide also provides value-added services, such as training, technical support and other consulting and professional services to corporations, government agencies and educational institutions worldwide.

References in these Notes to “Rand Worldwide”, “the Company”, “us”, “we”, “our” are references to Rand Worldwide, Inc. and, unless the context clearly contemplates otherwise, its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Company is organized into three divisions: IMAGINiT Technologies (“IMAGINiT”), Enterprise Applications and ASCENT—Center for Technical Knowledge (“ASCENT”).

The IMAGINiT division is one of the largest value-added resellers of Autodesk, Inc. (“Autodesk”) products in the world, providing Autodesk solutions and value-added services to customers in the manufacturing, infrastructure, building, and media and entertainment industries. IMAGINiT also specializes in computational fluid dynamics analysis consulting and thermal simulation services and sells its own proprietary software products and related services, enhancing its total client solution offerings. IMAGINiT operates in the United States and Canada.

The Enterprise Applications division is the non-Autodesk component of the business and offers various products and services including data governance solutions, facilities management solutions and 3DExperience products from Dassault Systèmes which include CATIA, ENOVIA, SIMULIA, DELMIA, and DMU. Enterprise Applications also specializes in training solutions for Dassault Systèmes and PTC products including Pro/ENGINEER, CREO, and Windchill. In December 2013, the Rand Secure Archive division within Enterprise Applications expanded its range of data governance solutions with the addition of data backup. To reflect this evolution beyond data archiving and eDiscovery, this division has changed its name to Rand Secure Data.

ASCENT is the courseware division of Rand Worldwide and is a leading developer of professional training materials and knowledge products for engineering software tools.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules or regulations. The interim financial statements are unaudited, and reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in management’s opinion, necessary to present a fair statement of results of the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto in Rand Worldwide Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. Operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year or any future interim period.

The books of the Company are maintained in United States dollars and this is the Company’s functional reporting currency. Translations denominated in other than the United States dollar are translated as follows with the related transaction gains and losses being recorded in the Statement of Operations:

•

Monetary items are recorded at the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date;

•

Non-monetary items including equity are recorded at the historical rate of exchange; and

•

Revenues and expenses are recorded at the period average in which the transaction occurred.

Certain prior year financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

2. Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information

The Company paid interest of approximately $5,000 and $21,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and approximately $28,000 and $67,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company also paid federal and state income taxes of approximately $57,000 and $40,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and approximately $142,000 and $99,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

In connection with the acquisition of Informative Design Partners on July 31, 2012, the Company paid cash in the amount of $600,000 and issued 497,512 shares of its common stock valued at $400,000.

3. Employee Stock Compensation Plans

On November 7, 2012, the Company’s stockholders approved the Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”). The Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors administers the Omnibus Plan and, in that capacity, has the exclusive authority to grant various incentive awards under the Omnibus Plan in the form of stock options, stock awards, stock units, performance units, and other stock-based awards. Up to 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are available for issuance to participants under the Omnibus Plan. The Omnibus Plan is available to all employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, including employees who are officers or members of the Board, and all non-employee directors and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries. Prior to the adoption of the Omnibus Plan, the Board of Directors granted options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the Avatech Solutions, Inc. 2002 Stock Option Plan (the “2002 Option Plan”). The 2002 Option Plan, which expired in August 2012, provided for the granting of either incentive or non-qualified stock options to purchase an aggregate of up to 7,800,000 shares of common stock to eligible employees, officers, and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries at an exercise price of not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014 total stock compensation expense recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses was $79,000 and $238,000, respectively, compared to $63,000 and $189,000, respectively, for the same periods of the prior fiscal year.

The following assumptions were used in computing the fair value of stock-based awards granted for the nine months ended March 31, 2014:


Average risk-free interest rate		2.031	%
Dividend yield		0	%
Expected term		10.0 years
Average expected volatility		0.50
Weighted average per share fair value of granted options	$	0.70

Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

A summary of stock option activity during the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and related information is included in the table below:


	Options			Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at July 1, 2013		3,488,629		$	0.77

Assuming that no additional share-based payments are granted after March 31, 2014, $628,000 of compensation expense will be recognized in the consolidated statement of operations over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years.

4. Borrowings Under Line of Credit

On February 29, 2012, the Company entered into an $8 million line of credit facility, including a $1,000,000 sublimit for the issuance of standby or trade letters of credit, with PNC Bank, National Association. The interest rate is the “Eurodollar Rate”, which is calculated by using the LIBOR rate, plus a margin of 2.0%. The interest rate as of March 31, 2014 was 2.2%. The Company had no outstanding borrowings from the bank under its credit line of as of March 31, 2014 or June 30, 2013. The line expires on November 30, 2014.

5. Obligations Under Capital Leases

The Company has incurred various capital lease obligations for computer equipment. This capital lease obligation totaled $407,000 and $616,000 as of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively.

6. Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets is recorded if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company records liabilities for income tax contingencies if it is probable that the Company has incurred a tax liability and the liability or range of loss can be reasonably estimated.

The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance on the entirety of its U.S. capital loss carryforwards, foreign net operating loss carryforwards, and a portion of its federal and state net operating loss carryforwards due to uncertainty about its ability to utilize such carryforwards.

The Company believes that its income tax filing positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax returns will more likely than not be sustained upon audit by the taxing authorities and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded. The Company’s income tax returns for the past three years are subject to examination by tax authorities, and may change upon examination.

The Company records interest related to taxes in other expense and records penalties in operating expenses.

7. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share include the potential dilution that would occur from common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants and the conversion of preferred stock. As of March 31, 2014, 5,712,549 shares of common stock were issuable upon the conversion or exercise of options, warrants and preferred stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, there were 213,500 and 506,497 shares of common stock equivalents, respectively, excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive. For the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, there were 313,500 and 1,397,857 shares of common stock equivalents, respectively, excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive.

8. Preferred Stock

Convertible Preferred Stock

At March 31, 2014, 384,495 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D shares”) were outstanding with the following terms:

Redemption Feature- The Series D shares are redeemable in the event that the Company is engaged in certain business combinations that are approved by the Board of Directors and subsequently submitted and approved by a vote of the Company’s stockholders. Any director who holds shares of Series D is not eligible to vote on the proposed business combination. The redemption price is $0.30 (upon conversion) per share plus an amount equal to all declared and unpaid dividends accrued on such shares since the original issue date.

Voting Rights- Each holder of the Series D shares shall vote together with all other classes and series of stock of the Company as a single class on all actions. Each share shall entitle the holder to one vote per share of common stock into which the preferred stock is then convertible on each such action. In addition, these holders have special voting rights in connection with certain matters, including the issuance of senior stock or debentures, certain mergers, the dissolution of the Company and any amendment to the charter or the terms of the securities that would impair their rights.

Dividend Rate- The holders of the Series D shares are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at a rate of 10% per annum when and as declared by the Board of Directors. Dividends are paid quarterly to preferred stockholders.

Conversion Feature- The Series D shares are convertible at any time beginning 120 days after the original issuance date at the option of the holder and automatically converts into common stock if the common stock trades for more than $2.25 per share for 60 consecutive trading days. Each Series D share is convertible into shares of common stock by multiplying the appropriate conversion rate in effect by the number of shares of preferred stock being converted. As of March 31, 2014, the conversion rate would yield approximately two shares of common stock for each share of Series D share; however, this rate may be adjusted due to stock splits, dividends, and other events defined in the stock purchase agreement between the Company and the holders of the Series D shares.

Liquidation Preference- In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of Series D shares are entitled to receive for each share, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds to the holders of common stock, an amount equal to $0.60 per share plus all accumulated but unpaid dividends. If upon the occurrence of such event, the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders are insufficient to permit the payment of the preferential amount, then the entire assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the preferred stockholders.

At March 31, 2014, 862 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series E shares”) were outstanding with the following terms:

Redemption Feature- The Series E shares are redeemable in the event that the Company is engaged in certain business combinations that are approved by the Board of Directors and subsequently submitted and approved by a vote of the Company’s stockholders. Any director who holds shares of Series E is not eligible to vote on the proposed business combination. The redemption price is $0.65 per share (upon conversion) plus an amount equal to all declared and unpaid dividends accrued on such shares since the original issue date.

Voting Rights- Each holder of the Series E shares shall vote together with all other classes and series of stock of the Company as a single class on all actions. Each share shall entitle the holder to one vote per share of common stock into which the preferred stock is then convertible on each such action. In addition, these holders have special voting rights in connection with certain matters, including the issuance of senior stock or debentures, certain mergers, the dissolution of the Company and any amendment to the charter or the terms of the securities that would impair their rights.

Conversion Feature- The Series E shares are convertible at any time beginning 120 days after the original issuance date at the option of the holder and automatically converts into common stock if the common stock trades for more than $2.25 per share for 60 consecutive trading days. Each Series E share is convertible into shares of common stock by multiplying the appropriate conversion rate in effect by the number of shares of preferred stock being converted. As of March 31, 2014 the conversion rate would yield approximately 1,538.5 shares of common stock for each share of Series E; however, this rate may be adjusted due to stock splits, dividends, and other events defined in the stock purchase agreements between the Company and the holders of the Series E shares.

Liquidation Preference- In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of Series E shares are entitled to receive for each share, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds to the holders of common stock, an amount equal to $0.65 per share (upon conversion) plus all accumulated but unpaid dividends. If upon the occurrence of such event, the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders are insufficient to permit the payment of the preferential amount, then the entire assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the preferred stockholders.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE RELATED NOTES THERETO INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT.

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers of this report should be aware of the speculative nature of “forward-looking statements.” Statements that are not historical in nature, including those that include the words “anticipate,” “estimate,” “should,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” and similar expressions, are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about, among other things, the industry and the markets in which Rand Worldwide, Inc. operates, and they are not guarantees of future performance. Whether actual results will conform to expectations and predictions is subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including risks and uncertainties discussed in this report; general economic, market, or business conditions; changes in interest rates, the cost of funds, and demand for the Company’s products and services; changes in the Company’s competitive position or competitive actions by other companies; the Company’s ability to manage growth; changes in laws or regulations or policies of federal and state regulators and agencies; ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses; and other circumstances beyond the Company’s control. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this report are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that the actual results anticipated will be realized or, if substantially realized, will have the expected consequences on the Company’s business or operations. Except as required by applicable laws, the Company does not intend to publish updates or revisions of any forward-looking statements to reflect new information, future events or otherwise.

When used throughout this report, the terms “Rand Worldwide”, “the Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Rand Worldwide, Inc. and, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, its consolidated subsidiaries.

Overview

Rand Worldwide, Inc. is a leader in design, engineering, data archiving solutions, and facilities management technology solutions with expertise in computer aided design (“CAD”) software, computational fluid dynamics (“CFD”), data management, and process optimization for the manufacturing, engineering, and building design industries. The Company specializes in software resale, technology consulting, implementation, integration, training, data archiving, data backup, CFD analysis consulting and thermal simulation services and technical support solutions that enable clients to more effectively design, develop, and manage projects, products, and facilities. Rand Worldwide has over 25 years of industry experience and expertise, an extensive list of training and implementation services and longstanding relationships with design technology leaders including Autodesk, Archibus, Dassault Systèmes and Autonomy. The Company’s clients include businesses, government agencies, and educational institutions.

The Company’s business strategy is built on three core principles designed to leverage its existing strengths with expected market opportunities:

•

Maintain and profitably grow its strong position in the Autodesk software market;

•

Profitably grow its consulting and services business by leveraging its experts in design engineering; and

•

Acquire or license and integrate diverse, yet complementary, software and services businesses to extend its product offerings to its large customer base and expand its market potential.

This strategy was designed to match the Company’s product and service offerings more precisely with the needs of its customers, while providing avenues of growth and diversification.

Product Sales- Product sales consist primarily of the resale of packaged design software, including:

•

Autodesk 2D and 3D computer aided design software for customers in the mechanical, architectural and civil engineering sectors, as well as visualization and animation technology to companies in the media and entertainment industry;

•

Autodesk data management software;

•

3DExperience products from Dassault Systèmes including the V5 and V6 platforms of CATIA, ENOVIA, SIMULIA, DELMIA, and DMU;

•

Archibus facilities management software for space planning, strategic planning, and lease/property administration;

•

Leica 3D laser scanning equipment for the Architectural, Engineering and Construction sector;

•

ASCENT internally developed courseware for a variety of engineering applications; and

•

Autonomy data archiving solutions

Service Revenue- The Company provides services in the form of project-focused software implementations, training, consulting services, software development, software customization, data migration, supplemental design staffing, drawing digitization, symbol library development, custom courseware development, technical support and hosted data archiving solutions to its customers. The Company employs a technical staff of over 100 personnel associated with these types of services. The Company also offers support and implementation services to complement the data archive solutions provided and sold through its Rand Secure Data Division.

Commission Revenue- The Company offers Autodesk’s subscription programs, which entitle subscribers to receive software upgrades, web support and eLearning lessons directly from Autodesk. Because Rand Worldwide does not participate in the delivery of these subscription products or the web support and eLearning lesson benefits, the Company records the gross profit from the sale of Autodesk software subscriptions as commission revenue. In addition, the Company sells technology upgrades to existing Autodesk customers through the Autodesk Subscription program where the customers receive the latest releases of Autodesk software, incremental product enhancements, and personalized web support direct from Autodesk.

Based on its analysis of the Autodesk Subscription program, Rand Worldwide records the net proceeds that it receives from Autodesk for subscription sales in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605.

The Company also generates commission revenue from the resale of Autodesk software to various customers, a number of which Autodesk considers major and government accounts. Autodesk designates customers as major accounts based on specific criteria, primarily sales volume, and typically gives these customers volume discounts. The Company is responsible for managing and reselling Autodesk products to a number of these major and government account customers; however, software products are shipped directly from Autodesk to the customers. The Company receives commissions upon shipment of the products from Autodesk to the customer based on a percentage of the sales price.

Cost of Product Sales-The cost of product sales consists of the cost of purchasing products from software suppliers or hardware manufacturers as well as the associated shipping and handling costs. The Company earns a volume incentive rebate from its primary supplier, Autodesk, paid monthly as a percentage of qualifying purchases. The rebate percentage is established based on quarterly purchasing volume. These rebates serve to reduce the cost of product sales. The Company accrues its rebates the month the underlying sales are posted, in accordance with ASC 605-50, Customer Payments and Incentives. The Company has generally been able to focus its sales efforts in a manner to achieve margins on its product sales that are within a relatively narrow range period to period.

Cost of Service Revenue-Cost of service revenue includes the direct costs associated with the implementation of software and hardware solutions as well as training, support services, and professional services. These costs consist primarily of compensation, travel, curriculum, and the costs of third-party contractors engaged by the Company. The cost of service revenue does not include an allocation of overhead costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense- Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and other expenses associated with the Company’s sales force, management, finance, human resources, and information systems. Advertising and public relations expenses and expenses for facilities, such as rent and utilities, are also included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense- Depreciation expense represents the period costs associated with our investment in property and equipment, consisting principally of computer equipment, software, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements. Amortization expense represents the period costs of the acquired customer list and trade name intangible assets. The Company computes depreciation and amortization expenses using the straight-line method. The Company leases all of its facilities and depreciates leasehold improvements over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset.

Interest Expense- Interest expense consists of interest on capital lease obligations and borrowings from lines of credit.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013

The following tables and discussion compare the Company’s results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 to the three-month period ended March 31, 2013. The amounts are derived from selected items reflected in the Company’s unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations included elsewhere in this report. The three-month financial results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

Revenues


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014		2013		% change
Revenues:
Product sales	$	12,622,000	$	12,042,000		4.8	%
Service revenue		5,754,000		5,967,000		(3.6	)%
Commission revenue		6,947,000		6,099,000		13.9	%

Total revenues	$	25,323,000	$	24,108,000		5.0	%

Revenues. Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased by $1,215,000, or 5%, when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Product sales increased $580,000, or 4.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increased product revenues are attributable to the IMAGINiT division closing a few large deals with key customers. Additionally, product sales from the Company’s Rand 3D division increased by $160,000.

Service revenues decreased $213,000, or 3.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 when compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year. The third quarter of fiscal year 2013 included a very high level of revenues from software development projects while such software development revenues were at their normal levels during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014, resulting in an overall decrease in service revenues.

Commission revenues increased $848,000, or 13.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 when compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year. Commission revenues increased across the board, driven largely by vendor promotions.

Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014		2013		% change
Cost of revenue:
Cost of product sales	$	8,097,000	$	7,471,000		8.4	%
Cost of service revenue		3,871,000		3,731,000		3.8	%

Total cost of revenue	$	11,968,000	$	11,202,000		6.8	%

Gross margin	$	13,355,000	$	12,906,000

Cost of revenue. The total cost of revenue increased $766,000, or 6.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Cost of product sales increased 8.4% during the three months ended March 31, 2014 when compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year, while product revenues increased 4.8%. Cost of product sales increased to a larger extent than did product revenues primarily because the company discounted a few of its largest deals closed during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Cost of service revenue increased 3.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, while service revenues decreased 3.6%. Salaries increased due to added technical staff, including filling vacant positions on the IMAGINiT services team and expanding the Rand Secure Data division. Royalties relating to the Rand Secure Data services increased at a faster pace than their corresponding revenue growth. Cost of service revenue as a percentage of related revenue increased to 67.3% during the three months ended March 31, 2014 from 62.5% during the same period in the prior fiscal year for the reasons explained above.

Gross margin. The Company’s overall gross margin percentage decreased to 52.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from 53.5% for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The modest decrease in margin percentage was the result of having a few large product deals that were discounted during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Other Operating Expenses


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014		2013		% change
Other operating expenses:
Selling, general and administrative	$	9,197,000	$	9,441,000		(2.6	)%
Depreciation and amortization		482,000		477,000		1.1	%

Total other operating expenses	$	9,679,000	$	9,918,000		(2.4	)%

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $244,000, or 2.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenues was 36.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, a decrease from 39.2% for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in these expenses was due to having fewer salespeople, decreased travel and entertainment costs, and decreased office rents due to combining the operations of two offices into existing locations.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $5,000, or 1.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase was due to the additional depreciation expense associated with hardware and software acquired for its data archiving division, partially offset by less amortization expense taken on certain intangible assets.

Other Expense, Net


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014			2013			% change
Other expense, net	$	(157,000	)	$	(196,000	)		19.9	%

Other Expense, Net. The Company incurred $157,000 in other expense, net, during the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $196,000 during the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease was due mainly to decreased interest expense due to the fact that the Company did not borrow under its line of credit during the quarter.

Income Tax Expense


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014			2013			% change
Income tax expense	$	(1,291,000	)	$	(894,000	)		44.4	%

Income Tax Expense. The Company recorded $1,291,000 of income tax expense during the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $894,000 in income tax expense recorded for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The Company’s effective tax rate was 37% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to 32.0% for the same period in the prior fiscal year. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, a larger share of taxable income was attributable to the U.S. rather than Canada, compared to the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Because the Company has available Canadian net operating loss carryforwards which are fully offset by valuation allowances, its effective tax rate is lower on its income attributed to Canada than it is for income attributed to the U.S.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income of approximately $28.3 million; however, $23.3 million of these carryforwards were not recognized because they are subject to annual limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and are expected to expire before being utilized. These carryforwards expire between 2014 and 2029. In addition, as of March 31, 2014, the Company had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $17 million available to reduce future taxable income, and net deferred tax assets of $6.8 million. The carryforwards expire between 2014 and 2031. The Company maintains a valuation allowance on the entire amount of its foreign deferred tax assets due to insufficient history of profitable operations.

Rand Worldwide’s Canadian subsidiary, Rand A Technology Corporation, has recently undergone an audit by the Canada Revenue Agency for tax years 2005 through 2009. Results from the audit indicate that some deductions were disallowed, however, the increase in taxable net income in the years under review were offset by net operating loss carryforwards that were available during those years. The net effect to deferred tax assets and the related valuation allowance is not expected to be material. Management believes that it has properly recorded the tax expense for the periods under review.

Revenues


	Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2014		2013		% change
Revenues:
Product sales	$	35,585,000	$	31,661,000		12.4	%
Service revenue		16,509,000		16,118,000		2.4	%
Commission revenue		16,235,000		15,797,000		2.8	%

Total revenues	$	68,329,000	$	63,576,000		7.5	%

Revenues. Total revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 increased by $4,753,000, or 7.5%, when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Product sales increased $3,924,000, or 12.4%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Of this increase, $3.2 million was the result of a single large sale. Additionally, product sales from the Company’s Rand 3D division have increased $450,000. The remaining increased product revenues are attributable to a few large deals with key customers.

Service revenues increased $391,000, or 2.4%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 when compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increased service revenues were driven primarily by growth in CFD consulting, facilities management software services and Rand Secure Data implementations.

Commission revenues increased $438,000, or 2.8%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 when compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year driven largely by vendor promotions.

Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin


	Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2014		2013		% change
Cost of revenue:
Cost of product sales	$	22,856,000	$	19,778,000		15.6	%
Cost of service revenue		11,522,000		10,689,000		7.8	%

Total cost of revenue	$	34,378,000	$	30,467,000		12.8	%

Gross margin	$	33,951,000	$	33,109,000

Cost of revenue. The total cost of revenue increased $3,911,000, or 12.8%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Cost of product sales increased 15.6% during the nine months ended March 31, 2014 when compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year, while product revenue increased 12.4%. Cost of product sales increased to a larger extent than did product revenues primarily due to decreased sales rebates from the Company’s principal supplier, Autodesk, because the Company had a single large product sale of $3.2 million which did not qualify for a supplier rebate, thus bringing down the average product margin rate.

Cost of service revenue increased 7.8% for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, while service revenues increased 2.4%. Salaries increased due to added technical staff, including filling vacant positions on the IMAGINiT services team and expanding the Rand Secure Data division. Royalties relating to the Rand Secure Data services increased at a faster pace than their corresponding revenue growth. Additionally, the Company had a large services project which involved significantly more subcontracted services than usual resulting in a temporary increase in the cost of service revenue. Cost of service revenue as a percentage of related revenue increased to 69.8% during the nine months ended March 31, 2014 from 66.3% during the same period in the prior fiscal year for the reasons explained above.

Gross margin. The Company’s overall gross margin percentage decreased to 49.7% for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 from 52.1% for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The Company had a large sale during the nine months ended March 31, 2014 which was primarily comprised of new products. This sale did not qualify for any supplier rebates and, due to its size, adjusted the overall revenue mix that the Company realized for the quarter. Both of these factors served to reduce the reported gross margin percentage.

Other Operating Expenses


	Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2014		2013		% change
Other operating expenses:
Selling, general and administrative	$	26,706,000	$	26,602,000		0.4	%
Depreciation and amortization		1,421,000		1,409,000		0.9	%

Total other operating expenses	$	28,127,000	$	28,011,000		0.4	%

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $104,000, or 0.4%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenues was 39.1% for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, a decrease from 41.8% for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in expenses included increased commissions due to increased sales and a one-time severance costs due to the departure of an executive, offset by decreased salaries due to having fewer salespeople on board.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $12,000, or 0.9%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase was due to the additional depreciation expense associated with hardware and software acquired for the Company’s data archiving division, partially offset by less amortization expense taken on certain intangible assets.

Other Expense, Net


	Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2014			2013			% change
Other expense, net	$	(376,000	)	$	(319,000	)		17.9	%

Other Expense, Net. The Company incurred $376,000 in other expense, net, during the nine months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $319,000 during the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase was due to an increase in foreign currency exchange losses, partially offset by decreased interest expense.

Income Tax Expense


	Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2014			2013			% change
Income tax expense	$	(1,934,000	)	$	(1,790,000	)		8.0	%

Income Tax Expense. The Company recorded $1,934,000 of income tax expense during the nine months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $1,790,000 in income tax expense recorded for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The Company’s effective tax rate was 35% for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, compared to 37.5% for the same period in the prior fiscal year.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2014, the Company utilized state net operating loss carryforwards, which reduced the valuation allowance placed on state net operating losses. In addition, federal tax was calculated under the Alternative Minimum Tax, which allowed some additional tax deductions and resulted in a lower tax liability and a lower effective tax rate.

Rand Worldwide’s Canadian subsidiary, Rand A Technology Corporation, has recently undergone an audit by the Canada Revenue Agency for tax years 2005 through 2009. Results from the audit indicate that some deductions were disallowed; however, the increase in taxable net income in the years under review were offset by net operating loss carryforwards that were available during those years. The net effect to deferred tax assets and the related valuation allowance is not expected to be material. Management believes that it has properly recorded the tax expense for the periods under review.

Discontinued Operations


	Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2014		2013
Loss on sale of discontinued operations, net of tax	$	374,000	$	—
Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax	$	—	$	142,000

Discontinued Operations. The Company disposed of its operations in Singapore, Malaysia and Australia during May and June of 2013 as detailed in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements presented elsewhere in this report. The disposals resulted in a loss of $142,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2013, which has been included in discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, the Company has financed its operations and met its capital expenditure requirements primarily through cash flows provided by operations and borrowings under short-term lines of credit.

On February 29, 2012, the Company entered into an $8 million line of credit facility, including a $1,000,000 sublimit for the issuance of standby or trade letters of credit, with PNC Bank, National Association. The interest rate is the “Eurodollar Rate”, which is calculated by using the LIBOR rate, plus a margin of 2.0%. The interest rate as of March 31, 2014 was 2.2%. The Company did not borrow under this line of credit during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014 and had no outstanding borrowings from the bank under this line of credit as of March 31, 2014 or June 30, 2013. The line expires on November 30, 2014.

The Company’s operating assets and liabilities consist primarily of accounts receivable, cash, borrowings under line of credit, accounts payable, and deferred revenue. Changes in these balances are affected principally by the timing of sales, collections and vendor payments. The Company purchases approximately 96% of its product from one principal supplier and its distributors that provide it with credit to finance those purchases.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2014, net cash provided by operating activities was $7,450,000, compared to $2,550,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2013. The increase was due mainly to an increase in accounts payable, increased taxes payable, decreased prepaid expenses and decreased payouts in accrued compensation, partially offset by an increase in the accounts receivable balance.

The Company’s ongoing investing activities consist principally of investments in computer and office equipment. Cash purchases of equipment increased from $600,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 to $689,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 mainly due to increased purchases of software and hardware for the Rand Secure Data business.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $34,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 compared to net cash used by financing activities of $1,021,000 for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The difference resulted mainly from having no net pay down of the line of credit during the nine months ended March 31, 2014 compared to net paydowns of $724,000 the same period of the prior fiscal year. Additionally, the Company received $169,000 in proceeds upon the exercise of stock options during the first nine months of the current fiscal year compared with no such proceeds during the same period in the prior fiscal year.

The Company had a working capital surplus of $11,159,000 as of March 31, 2014.

Because the Company is one of the largest resellers of Autodesk software and because Autodesk has continued to state its intention to continue to strengthen its relationships with its resellers, the Company expects to continue to be a leading seller of Autodesk software. The Company is a party to a Value Added Reseller Agreement with Autodesk effective February 1, 2013. The agreement provides for an initial term of twelve months that, subject to certain requirements and termination rights of the parties, automatically renews on an annual basis for two additional twelve-month periods. The agreement designates the Company as an authorized reseller of Autodesk software and prescribes the authorized sales territories, authorized products and services, rebate and incentive program details and marketing support.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in those rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including its principal executive officer (“CEO”) and its principal financial and accounting officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

An evaluation of the effectiveness of these disclosure controls as of March 31, 2014 was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the CEO and the CFO. Based on that evaluation, management, including the CEO and the CFO, has concluded that, as of that date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were, in fact, effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
