TSR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

February 28, 2015

(Unaudited)

 

1.	Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of TSR, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applying to interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2015 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for future interim periods or for the full year ending May 31, 2015. The consolidated balance sheet at May 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014.

 

2.	Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

 

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders of TSR, Inc. by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The Company had no stock options or other common stock equivalents outstanding during any of the periods presented.

 

3.	Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers short-term highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents were comprised of the following as of February 28, 2015 and May 31, 2014:

 

			February 28, 2015				May 31, 2014
	Cash in banks		$	1,872,078			$	2,279,148
	Money market funds			568,245				562,819
			$	2,440,323			$	2,841,967

 

4.	Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s contract computer programming services are generally provided under time and materials arrangements with its customers. Revenue is recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. These conditions occur when a customer agreement is effected and the consultant performs the authorized services. Revenue is recorded net of all discounts and processing fees. Advances from customers represent amounts received from customers prior to the Company’s provision of the related services and credit balances from overpayments.

 

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

5.	Certificates of Deposit and Marketable Securities

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The following are the major categories of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of February 28, 2015 and May 31, 2014 using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2) and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

 

	February 28, 2015		Level 1				Level 2				Level 3				Total
	Certificates of Deposit		$	-			$	1,493,000			$	-			$	1,493,000
	Equity Securities			26,600				-				-				26,600
			$	26,600			$	1,493,000			$	-			$	1,519,600

  

	May 31, 2014		Level 1				Level 2				Level 3				Total
	Certificates of Deposit		$	-			$	1,493,000			$	-			$	1,493,000
	Equity Securities			21,856				-				-				21,856
			$	21,856			$	1,493,000			$	-			$	1,514,856

  

Based upon the Company’s intent and ability to hold its certificates of deposit to maturity (which maturities range up to twelve 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 certificates of deposit and marketable securities at February 28, 2015 and May 31, 2014 are summarized as follows:

	Certificates of Deposit		$	1,493,000			$	-			$	-			$	1,493,000
	Equity Securities			16,866				9,734				-				26,600
			$	1,509,866			$	9,734			$	-			$	1,519,600

			$	1,509,866			$	4,990			$	-			$	1,514,856

 

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

 

6.	Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

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

7.

Equity

 

During the nine months ended February 28, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not purchase any shares of its common stock. As of March 31, 2015, 56,318 shares remain available for purchase under the previously announced plan.

 

8.	Other Matters

 

From time to time, the Company is party to various lawsuits, some involving material amounts. Management is not aware of any lawsuits that would have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial position of the Company.

 

9.	Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued an update to ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This update to ASC 606 provides a five-step process to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle of the guidance is that a Company should recognize revenue upon transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the expected consideration to be received in exchange for those goods or services. This update to ASC 606 will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, providing guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively, and improving guidance for multiple-element arrangements. This update to ASC 606 is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements.

Part I. Financial Information

The Company is under no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements.

TSR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Revenue

 

Revenue consists primarily of revenue from computer programming consulting services. Revenue for the quarter ended February 28, 2015 increased $2,085,000 or 17.2% from the prior year quarter. This increase in revenue primarily resulted from the average number of consultants on billing with customers increasing from approximately 308 for the quarter ended February 28, 2014 to approximately 353 for the quarter ended February 28, 2015.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales for the quarter ended February 28, 2015, increased $1,883,000 or 18.5% to $12,082,000 from $10,199,000 in the prior year quarter. The increase in cost of sales resulted primarily from the increase in the number of consultants on billing with clients. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue increased from 84.1% in the quarter ended February 28, 2014 to 85.0% in the quarter ended February 28, 2015. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to increased reliance on employees, with their related payroll costs, rather than utilizing subcontractors to provide services to customers. Reliance on employees rather than subcontractors is a function of changing customer requirements.

 

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 $111,000 or 5.2% from $2,118,000 in the quarter ended February 28, 2014 to $2,229,000 in the quarter ended February 28, 2015. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of sales personnel and expenses associated with hiring them. Hiring new sales executives requires a significant investment to cover their costs while their non-compete agreements, which typically last a year, expire. The Company expects selling, general and administrative expenses to continue to increase as more recruiters and sales executives are hired to stimulate growth. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenue, decreased from 17.5% in the quarter ended February 28, 2014 to 15.7% in the quarter ended February 28, 2015 as a result of the additional technical recruiters and sales executives hired in the previous fiscal year beginning to contribute additional revenue.

 

Other Income

 

Other income for the quarter ended February 28, 2015 resulted primarily from interest and dividend income of $1,000 and a mark to market loss of approximately $3,000 on the Company’s equity securities. Other income for the quarter ended February 28, 2014 resulted primarily from interest and dividend income of $1,000 and a mark to market gain of approximately $1,000 on the Company’s equity securities.

 

Income Taxes

 

The income tax benefit included in the Company’s results of operations for the quarters ended February 28, 2015 and 2014 reflects the Company’s estimated effective tax rate for the years ending May 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. These rates were (65.2)% for the quarter ended February 28, 2014 and (39.0)% for the quarter ended February 28, 2015. The tax rate for the third quarter ended February 28, 2014 differs significantly from the statutory rate as a result of a change in the full year estimate of net income relating to additional business development expenses.

 

Net Loss Attributable to TSR, Inc.

 

Net loss attributable to TSR, Inc. decreased from $91,000 in the quarter ended February 28, 2014 to $85,000 in the quarter ended February 28, 2015. This decrease was primarily attributable to the increase in revenue as a result of the additional recruiters and sales executives contributing additional revenue. Gradual improvement is expected to continue until the Company’s new hires in sales and recruiting generate a sufficient increase in revenue.

Revenue

 

Revenue consists primarily of revenue from computer programming consulting services. Revenue for the nine months ended February 28, 2015 increased $6,052,000 or 16.6% from the prior year period. The increase in revenue primarily resulted from the average number of consultants on billing with customers increasing from approximately 305 for the nine months ended February 28, 2014 to approximately 346 for the nine months ended February 28, 2015.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales for the nine months ended February 28, 2015 increased $5,260,000 or 17.4% to $35,548,000 from $30,288,000 in the prior year period. The increase in cost of sales resulted primarily from the increase in the number of consultants on billing with clients. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue increased from 83.2% in the nine months ended February 28, 2014 to 83.8% in the nine months ended February 28, 2015. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to increased reliance on employees, with their related payroll costs, rather than utilizing subcontractors to provide services to customers. Reliance on employees rather than subcontractors is a function of changing customer requirements.

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 $497,000 or 8.1% from $6,138,000 in the nine months ended February 28, 2014 to $6,635,000 in the nine months ended February 28, 2015. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of sales personnel and expenses associated with hiring them. Hiring new sales executives requires a significant investment to cover their costs while their non-compete agreements, which typically last a year, expire. The Company expects selling, general and administrative expenses to continue to increase as more recruiters and sales executives are hired to stimulate growth. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenue, decreased from 16.9% in the nine months ended February 28, 2014 to 15.6% in the nine months ended February 28, 2015 as a result of the additional technical recruiters and sales executives hired in the prior fiscal year beginning to contribute additional revenue.

 

Other Income

 

Other income for the nine months ended February 28, 2015 resulted primarily from interest and dividend income of $4,000 and a mark to market gain of approximately $5,000 on the Company’s equity securities. Other income for the nine months ended February 28, 2014 resulted primarily from interest and dividend income of $5,000.

 

Income Taxes

 

The income tax provision (benefit) included in the Company’s results of operations for the nine months ended February 28, 2015 and 2014 reflect the Company’s estimated effective tax rate for the years ending May 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. These rates were (165.8)% for the nine months ended February 28, 2014 and 40.5% for the nine months ended February 28, 2015. The tax rate for the nine months ended February 28, 2014 differs significantly from the statutory rate as a result of a change in the full year estimate of net income relating to additional business development expenses.

 

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to TSR, Inc.

 

Net income (loss) attributable to TSR, Inc. increased $129,000 from a loss of $48,000 in the nine months ended February 28, 2014 to net income of $81,000 in the nine months ended February 28, 2015. This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in revenue as a result of the additional recruiters and sales executives contributing additional revenue and increased full time placement revenue. Full time placement revenue has increased because the Company dedicated a sales executive to this business. It is still uncertain whether this line of business will develop. Gradual improvement is expected to continue until the Company’s new hires in sales and recruiting generate a sufficient increase in revenue.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued an update to ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This update to ASC 606 provides a five-step process to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle of the guidance is that a Company should recognize revenue upon transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the expected consideration to be received in exchange for those goods or services. This update to ASC 606 will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, providing guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively, and improving guidance for multiple-element arrangements. This update to ASC 606 is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The SEC defines “critical accounting policies” as those that require the application of management’s most difficult subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods.

 

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, contained in its May 31, 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC. The Company believes that those accounting policies require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. There have been no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies as of February 28, 2015.

Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal accounting officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

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.
