WAYSIDE
TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
June
30, 2009
1. The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Wayside
Technology Group, Inc. and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete
financial statements.
The
preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates
and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an
on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to
product returns, bad debts, inventories, investments, intangible assets, income
taxes, stock-based compensation and costs associated with exit or disposal
activities, and contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for
making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are
not readily apparent from other sources. In the opinion of the Company’s
management, all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature, considered
necessary for fair presentation, have been included. Actual results may differ
from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The unaudited
condensed consolidated statements of earnings for the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of results for the full year. For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities Exchange
Commission for the year ended December 31, 2008.
2. In
May 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS
165”). SFAS 165 requires entities to disclose the date through which they
have evaluated subsequent events and whether the date corresponds with the
release of their financial statements. SFAS 165 is effective for
interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of
SFAS 165 does not materially impact the Company’s condensed consolidated
financial statements. The Company evaluated all events or transactions that
occurred after June 30, 2009 up through August 11, 2009. During this period no
material subsequent events came to our attention.
In June
2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(“SFAS 168”). SFAS 168 will become the single source of authoritative
nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”),
superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
(“AICPA”), Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”), and related accounting
literature. SFAS 168 reorganizes the thousands of GAAP pronouncements
into roughly 90 accounting topics and displays them using a consistent
structure. Also included is relevant Securities and Exchange
Commission guidance organized using the same topical structure in separate
sections. SFAS 168 will be effective for financial statements issued for
reporting periods that end after September 15, 2009.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”)
115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary
Impairments.” This FSP changes existing guidance for determining whether an
impairment of debt securities is other than temporary. The FSP requires other
than temporary impairments to be separated into the amount representing the
decrease in cash flows expected to be collected from a security (referred to as
credit losses) which is recognized in earnings and the amount related to other
factors which is recognized in other comprehensive income. This noncredit loss
component of the impairment may only be classified in other comprehensive income
if the holder of the security concludes that it does not intend to sell and it
will not more likely than not be required to sell the security before it
recovers its value. If these conditions are not met, the noncredit loss
must be recognized in earnings. When adopting the FSP, an entity is
required to record a cumulative effect adjustment as of the beginning of the
period of adoption to reclassify the noncredit component of a previously
recognized other than temporary impairment from retained earnings to accumulated
other comprehensive income. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 is effective for interim
and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this FSP
does not materially impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial
statements.
Page

In April
2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and
Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and
Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly.” This FSP provides additional
guidance on estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for an
asset or liability have significantly decreased in relation to normal market
activity for the asset or liability. The FSP also provides additional guidance
on circumstances that may indicate that a transaction is not orderly. FSP FAS
157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15,
2009. The adoption of this FSP does not materially impact the Company’s
condensed consolidated financial statements.
FSP
107-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FSP
107-1), increases the frequency of fair value disclosures required by Statements
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value
of Financial Instruments (SFAS No. 107). FSP 107-1 relates to fair value
disclosures for any financial instruments that are not currently reflected on
the balance sheet of companies at fair value. Prior to issuing this FSP, fair
values for these assets and liabilities were only required to be disclosed once
a year. The FSP now requires these disclosures on a quarterly basis effective
June 30 2009, providing qualitative and quantitative information about fair
value estimates for all those financial instruments not measured on the balance
sheet at fair value.
3. Assets
and liabilities of the Company’s Canadian subsidiary have been translated at
current exchange rates, and related sales and expenses have been translated at
average rates of exchange in effect during the period. The sales from our
Canadian operations in the first six months of 2009 was $5.9 million as compared
to $11.8 million for the first six months of 2008. The sales from our Canadian
operations for the second quarter of 2009 was $3.3 million as compared to $5.8
million for the second quarter of 2008.
4. Cumulative
translation adjustments and unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale
securities have been classified within accumulated other comprehensive income,
which is a separate component of stockholders’ equity in accordance with FASB
Statement No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.”
5. The
Company records revenues from sales transactions when title to products sold
passes to the customer. Usual sales terms are FOB shipping point, at which time
title and risk of loss has passed to the customer and delivery has
occurred. Revenue is recognized in accordance with Statements of
Position (“SOP”) 97-2 “ Software Revenue Recognition”, Staff Accounting Bulletin
(“SAB”) No. 101 and No. 104, "Revenue Recognition" and Emerging Issues Task
Force (“EITF”) 99-19, "Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an
Agent". The majority of the Company’s revenues relates to physical products and
is recognized on a gross basis with the selling price to the customer recorded
as net sales with the acquisition cost of the product to the Company recorded as
cost of sales. At the time of sale, the Company also records an estimate for
sales returns based on historical experience. Certain software maintenance
products, third party services and extended warranties sold by the Company (for
which the Company is not the primary obligor) are recognized on a net basis.
Accordingly, such revenues are recognized in net sales either at the time of
sale or over the contract period, based on the nature of the contract, at the
net amount retained by the Company, with no cost of goods sold.
6. Vendor
rebates and price protection are recorded when earned as a reduction to cost of
sales or merchandise inventory, as applicable. Cooperative reimbursements from
vendors, which are earned and available, are recorded in the period the related
advertising expenditure is incurred. Cooperative reimbursements are recorded as
net sales in accordance with EITF 02-16 “Accounting by a Customer (including
reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor.”

7. The
carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated fair value at
June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, because of the relative short maturity of
these instruments.

9. Effective
January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157. SFAS No. 157
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under
generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair
value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-2, “Partial
Deferral of the Effective Date of Statement 157,” which deferred the effective
date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial
liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the
financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), to fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company uses the following methods
for determining fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157. For assets and
liabilities that are measured using quoted prices in active markets for the
identical asset or liability, the total fair value is the published market price
per unit multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of
transaction costs (Level 1). Assets and liabilities that are measured using
significant other observable inputs are valued by reference to similar assets or
liabilities, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted
prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or
can be corroborated by observable market data (Level 2). For all remaining
assets and liabilities for which there are no significant observable inputs,
fair value is derived using an assessment of various discount rates, default
risk, credit quality and the overall capital market liquidity (Level
3).

12. The
Company had one major vendor that accounted for 14.0% and 14.1% of total
purchases during the six and three months, respectively, that ended June 30,
2009. The Company had two major vendors that accounted for 29.2% and 10.1% of
total purchases during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 31.8% and 10.6%,
for the three months then ended. The Company had two major customers that
accounted for 10.6% and 9.8% of total net sales during the six months ended June
30, 2009, and 10.3% and 10.2%, for the three months then ended. These same
customers accounted for 10.8% and 2.7% of total net accounts receivable as of
June 30, 2009. The Company had one major customer that accounted for 10.2% and
9.6% of total net sales during the six and three months, respectively, ended
June 30, 2008, and 13.8% of total net accounts receivable as of June 30,
2008.
13. The
Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal
jurisdiction, and in various state and foreign jurisdictions. With a few
exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local,
or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to
2005. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest related to
unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense and penalties as operating
expenses. Accrued interest is insignificant and there are no penalties accrued
at June 30, 2009. The Company believes that it has appropriate support for
the income tax positions taken and to be taken on its tax returns and that its
accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years based on an
assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax
law applied to the facts of each matter.

compensation cost of approximately $420,000 and $367,000, respectively, which is
included in general and administrative expense.
15. SFAS
No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,”
requires that public companies report profits and losses and certain other
information on their “reportable operating segments” in their annual and interim
financial statements. The internal organization used by the Company’s Chief
Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to assess performance and allocate resources
determines the basis for reportable operating segments. The Company’s CODM is
the Chief Executive Officer.
The
Company is organized into two reportable operating segments — the “Programmer’s
Paradise” segment, which sells technical software, hardware and services
directly to end-users (such as individual programmers, corporations, government
agencies, and educational institutions) and the “Lifeboat” segment, which
distributes technical software to corporate resellers, VARs, consultants and
systems integrators.
Page
12
As
permitted by SFAS No. 131, the Company has utilized the aggregation
criteria in combining its operations in Canada with the domestic segments as
they provide the same products and services to similar clients and are
considered together when the CODM decides how to allocate
resources.
Segment
income is based on segment revenue less the respective segment’s cost of
revenues as well as segment direct costs (including such items as payroll costs
and payroll related costs, such as profit sharing, incentive awards and
insurance) and excluding general and administrative expenses not attributed to a
business unit. The Company only identifies accounts receivable and inventory by
segment as shown below as “Selected Assets” it does not allocate its other
assets, including capital expenditures by segment.

2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.
The
following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations contains, in addition to historical information,
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual
results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under the
heading “Certain Factors Affecting Operating Results” and elsewhere in this
report and those set forth in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with
the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements and related notes and the consolidated financial statements and
related notes included in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
The
Company is organized into two reportable operating segments — the “Programmer’s
Paradise” segment, which sells technical software, hardware and services
directly to end-users (such as individual programmers, corporations, government
agencies, and educational institutions) and the “Lifeboat” segment, which
distributes technical software to end-users through corporate
resellers, VARs, consultants and systems integrators.
The
Company's sales, gross profit and results of operations have fluctuated and are
expected to continue to fluctuate on a quarterly basis as a result of a number
of factors, including: the loss of any major vendor, condition of the software
industry in general; shifts in demand for software products; industry shipments
of new software products or upgrades; the timing of new merchandise and catalog
offerings; fluctuations in response rates; fluctuations in postage, paper,
shipping and printing costs and in merchandise returns; adverse weather
conditions that affect response, distribution or shipping; shifts in the timing
of holidays; and changes in the Company's product offerings. The Company's
operating expenditures are based on sales forecasts. If revenues do not meet
expectations in any given quarter, operating results may be materially adversely
affected.
Results
of Operations
The
following table sets forth for the periods indicated certain financial
information derived from the Company's consolidated statements of earnings
expressed as a percentage of net sales. This comparison of financial results is
not necessarily indicative of future results:

Net sales
for the second quarter of 2009 decreased 23% or $11.1 million to $37.0 million
compared to $48.1 million for the same period in 2008.Total sales for the second
quarter of 2009 for our Programmer’s Paradise segment were $12.0 million
compared to $13.1 million in the second quarter of 2008, representing an 8%
decrease. Total sales for the second quarter of 2009 for our Lifeboat segment
were $25.0 million compared to $35.0 million in the second quarter of 2008,
representing a 29% decrease.
Page
14
The
decline in sales for our Lifeboat segment was primarily due to the elimination
of VMware sales in that segment resulting from our having ceased distributing
VMware products as of October 1, 2008. Distribution of VMware products had
accounted for $11.7 million or 33% of segment sales in the second quarter of
2008. Excluding VMware, Lifeboat segment sales for the second quarter of 2009
increased by $1.7 million from 2008, or 7.3%.
In the
Programmer's Paradise segment, sales for the second quarter of 2009 decreased by
$1.1 million, compared with the second quarter of 2008. This decline was
primarily due to a shift in mix of order size as we sold more of our smaller
specialized software line. While products in these lines typically carry higher
margins, they also sell at a lower price leading to an overall decrease in
segment sales.
For the
six months ended June 30, 2009, net sales decreased 22% or $19.8 million to
$68.8 million compared to $88.6 million for the same period in 2008. Sales for
the six months ended June 30, 2009 for our Programmer’s Paradise segment were
$23.5 million compared to $24.2 million for the same period last year. Sales for
the six months ended June 30, 2009 for our Lifeboat segment were $45.3 million
compared to $64.4 million for the same period last year. The decline in sales
for our Lifeboat segment was primarily due to the elimination of VMware sales in
that segment resulting from our having ceased distributing VMware products as of
October 1, 2008.
Gross
Profit
Gross
Profit for the quarter ending June 30, 2009 was $4.1 million compared to $4.3
million in the second quarter of 2008, a 5% decrease. Total gross profit for our
Lifeboat segment was $2.5 million compared to $2.8 million in the second quarter
of 2008, representing a 13% decrease. This decrease in gross profit was due
to the lower sales volume. Total gross profit for our Programmer’s Paradise
segment was $1.6 million compared to $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2008,
representing a 6% increase. This increase was primarily due to a shift in
mix of order size. We sold more of our smaller, specialized software
lines, which typically carry higher margins. As a result, while revenue for the
Programmer’s Paradise segment decreased as compared to the 2008 period, gross
profit increased as compared to the 2008 period.
For the
six months ended June 30, 2009 gross profit decreased by $0.5 million to $7.5
million compared to $8.0 million in the same period in 2008. Lifeboat’s gross
profit for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $4.5 million compared to $5.2
million for the first six months of 2008. Programmer’s Paradise gross profit for
the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $3.0 million compared to $2.8 million for
the first six months of 2008.
Gross
profit margin, i.e., gross
profit as a percentage of net sales, for the quarter ending June 30, 2009
was 11.0% compared to 8.9% in the second quarter of 2008. Gross profit margin
for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was 11.0% compared to 9.1% in the same
period last year. Gross profit margin for our Programmer’s Paradise segment for
the second quarter of 2009 was 12.9% compared to 11.2% in the second quarter of
2008. Gross profit margin for our Lifeboat segment for the second quarter of
2009 was 10.1% compared to 8.1% in the second quarter of 2008. The increase in
gross profit margin was primarily caused by the decline in VMware sales which
carried lower margins than our other lines. The shift to higher margin lines has
enabled us to lessen the impact of the loss of the VMware distribution
line.

Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses
Total
selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the second
quarter of 2009 were $2.9 million compared to $3.1 million in the second quarter
of 2008, which was mainly the result of a decrease in employee and employee-
related expenses of $0.2 million in 2009 compared to 2008. As a percentage of
net sales, SG&A expenses for the second quarter of 2008 were 7.9% compared
to 6.4% in the second quarter of 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2009
SG&A expenses were $5.6 million compared to $6.0 million in the same period
last year mainly the result of a decrease in employee and employee-related
expenses of $0.4 million in 2009 compared to 2008. As a percentage of net sales,
SG&A expenses were 8.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to
6.8% in the same period last year.
The
Company expects that its SG&A expenses, as a percentage of net sales, may
vary by quarter depending on changes in sales volume, and levels of continuing
investments in information technology and marketing. We continue to monitor our
SG&A expenses closely.
Direct
selling costs for the second quarter of 2009 were $1.4 million compared to $1.5
million in the second quarter of 2008. Total direct selling costs for our
Programmer’s Paradise segment for the second quarter of 2009 were $0.7 million
compared to $0.7 million in 2008. Total direct selling costs for our Lifeboat
segment for the second quarter of 2009 were $0.7 million compared to $0.8
million in 2008.
Foreign
Currency Transactions Gain (Loss)
There was
no realized foreign exchange gain for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009
compared to $4,000 for the same period in 2008. For the six months ended June 30
2009 the realized foreign exchange loss was $1,000 compared to a foreign
currency gain of $7,000 in the same period last year. Foreign exchange gains and
losses primarily result from our trade activity with our Canadian subsidiary.
Although the Company does maintain bank accounts in Canadian currencies to
reduce currency exchange fluctuations, the Company is, nevertheless, subject to
risks associated with such fluctuations.
Income
Taxes
For the
quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes
of $506,000, which consists of a provision of $309,000 for U.S. federal income
taxes as well as a $74,000 provision for state and local taxes and $45,000 for
Canadian taxes, and a deferred tax expense of $78,000. For the quarter
ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of
$547,000, which consisted of a provision of $323,000 for U.S. federal income
taxes as well as a $61,000 provision for state and local taxes and $59,000 for
Canadian taxes, and a deferred tax expense of $104,000.
For the
six months ended June 30, 2009 the Company recorded a provision for income taxes
of $891,000, which consists of a provision of $512,000 for U.S. federal income
taxes as well as a $122,000 provision for state and local taxes and $66,000 for
Canadian taxes, and a deferred tax expense of $191,000. For the six months
ended June 30, 2008 the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of
$958,000, which consisted of a provision of $539,000 for U.S. federal income
taxes as well as a $96,000 provision for state and local taxes and $128,000 for
Canadian taxes, and a deferred tax expense of $195,000.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
During
the first six months of 2009 our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1.9
million to $7.5 million at June 30, 2009, from $9.3 million at December 31,
2008. During the first six months of 2009, net cash used in operating activities
amounted to $0.7 million; net cash provided by investing activities amounted to
$0.2 million and net cash used in financing activities amounted to $1.5
million.
Net cash
used in operating activities in the first six months of 2009 was $0.7 million
and primarily resulted from a $4.1 million increase in accounts receivable,
offset partially by a $1.3 million increase in accounts payable and net income
excluding non-cash charges of $2.2 million. The $4.1 million increase in
accounts receivable primarily relates to the timing of payments from two of our
larger customers which were not received until after June 30, 2009.
Page
16
Net cash
provided by investing activities in the first six months of 2009 amounted to
$0.2 million. This primarily resulted from net sales of $0.3 million in
marketable securities. These securities are highly rated and highly liquid.
These securities are classified as available-for-sale securities in accordance
with SFAS 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities”, and as a result, unrealized gains and losses are reported as part
of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Net sales of $0.3 million in
marketable securities were partially offset by $0.1 million of capital
expenditures.
Net cash
used in financing activities in the first six months of 2009 amounted to $1.5
million. This consisted primarily of dividends paid of $1.4
million.
The
Company’s current and anticipated use of its cash and cash equivalents is, and
will continue to be, to fund working capital, operational expenditures, the
stock buyback program and dividends if declared by the board of directors. Our
business plan furthermore contemplates our continuing use of our cash to pay
vendors promptly in order to obtain more favorable conditions.
We
believe that the funds held in cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to
fund our working capital and cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.
Currently we do not have any credit facility and, in the foreseeable future, we
do not plan to enter into an agreement providing for a line of
credit.

Operating leases primarily relates to the leases of the space used for our
operations in Shrewsbury, New Jersey, and Mississauga, Canada and our former
sales office in Hauppauge,
New York. The commitments for operating leases include the minimum rent payments
and a proportionate share of operating expenses and property taxes.
(2) In
addition to the contractual obligations disclosed in this table, we have net
unrecognized tax benefits totaling $78,000 with respect to which, based on
uncertainties associated with the items, we are unable to make reasonably
reliable estimates of the period of potential cash settlements, if any, with
taxing authorities. As a result, such potential liabilities are not listed in
the table.
The
Company is not committed by lines of credit or standby letters of credit, and
has no standby repurchase obligations or other commercial debt commitments. The
Company is not engaged in any transactions with related parties.
As of
June 30, 2009, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in
Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s
discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of
operations are based upon the Company's consolidated financial statements that
have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial
statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company recognizes revenue
from the sale of software and hardware for microcomputers, servers and networks
upon shipment or upon electronic delivery of the product. The Company expenses
the advertising costs associated with producing its catalogs. The costs of these
catalogs are expensed in the same month the catalogs are mailed.
On an
on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to
product returns, bad debts, inventories, investments, intangible assets, income
taxes, stock-based compensation and costs associated with exit or disposal
activities, and contingencies and litigation.
The
Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other
assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the
results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The
Company believes the following critical accounting policies used in the
preparation of its consolidated financial statements affect its more significant
judgments and estimates.
The
Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses
resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. If the
financial condition of the Company's customers were to deteriorate, resulting in
an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be
required.
The
Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable
inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the
estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market
conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected
by management, additional inventory write-offs may be
required.
The
Company has considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible
tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance
related to deferred tax assets. In the event the Company were to determine that
it would not be able to realize all or part of its net deferred tax assets in
the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to income
in the period such determination was made.
Under the
fair value recognition provision stock-based compensation cost is measured at
the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense
on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting
period. We make certain assumptions in order to value and expense our various
share-based payment awards. In connection with valuing stock options, we use the
Black-Scholes model, which requires us to estimate certain subjective
assumptions. The key assumptions we make are: the expected volatility of our
stock; the expected term of the award; and the expected forfeiture rate. In
connection with our restricted stock programs we make assumptions principally
related to the forfeiture rate. We review our valuation assumptions periodically
and, as a result, we may change our valuation assumptions used to value stock
based awards granted in future periods. Such changes may lead to a significant
change in the expense we recognize in connection with share-based
payments.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In May
2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS
165”). SFAS 165 requires entities to disclose the date through which
they have evaluated subsequent events and whether the date corresponds with the
release of their financial statements. SFAS 165 is effective for
interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of
SFAS 165 does not materially impact the Company’s condensed consolidated
financial statements. The Company evaluated all events or transactions that
occurred after June 30, 2009 up through August 11, 2009. During this period no
material subsequent events came to our attention.

In June
2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(“SFAS 168”). SFAS 168 will become the single source of authoritative
nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”),
superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
(“AICPA”), Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”), and related accounting
literature. SFAS 168 reorganizes the thousands of GAAP pronouncements
into roughly 90 accounting topics and displays them using a consistent
structure. Also included is relevant Securities and Exchange
Commission guidance organized using the same topical structure in separate
sections. SFAS 168 will be effective for financial statements issued for
reporting periods that end after September 15, 2009.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”)
115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary
Impairments.” This FSP changes existing guidance for determining whether an
impairment of debt securities is other than temporary. The FSP requires other
than temporary impairments to be separated into the amount representing the
decrease in cash flows expected to be collected from a security (referred to as
credit losses) which is recognized in earnings and the amount related to other
factors which is recognized in other comprehensive income. This noncredit loss
component of the impairment may only be classified in other comprehensive income
if the holder of the security concludes that it does not intend to sell and it
will not more likely than not be required to sell the security before it
recovers its value. If these conditions are not met, the noncredit loss
must be recognized in earnings. When adopting the FSP, an entity is
required to record a cumulative effect adjustment as of the beginning of the
period of adoption to reclassify the noncredit component of a previously
recognized other than temporary impairment from retained earnings to accumulated
other comprehensive income. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 is effective for interim
and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this FSP
does not materially impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial
statements.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the
Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly
Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly.” This FSP provides
additional guidance on estimating fair value when the volume and level of
activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased in relation to
normal market activity for the asset or liability. The FSP also provides
additional guidance on circumstances that may indicate that a transaction is not
orderly. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after
June 15, 2009. The adoption of this FSP does not materially impact the
Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
FSP
107-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FSP
107-1), increases the frequency of fair value disclosures required by Statements
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value
of Financial Instruments (SFAS No. 107). FSP 107-1 relates to fair value
disclosures for any financial instruments that are not currently reflected on
the balance sheet of companies at fair value. Prior to issuing this FSP, fair
values for these assets and liabilities were only required to be disclosed once
a year. The FSP now requires these disclosures on a quarterly basis, providing
qualitative and quantitative information about fair value estimates for all
those financial instruments not measured on the balance sheet at fair value.
Based on our evaluation of FSP 107-1, we expect to provide the disclosures
required in SFAS No. 107 in interim periods beginning in June 2009.
Certain
Factors Affecting Operating Results of Operations and Stock Price
This
report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Statements in this report regarding future events or conditions, including
statements regarding industry prospects and the Company’s expected financial
position, results of operations ( (including sales and gross profit margin),
business and financing plans, are forward-looking statements. Although the
Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking
statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will
prove to have been correct. We strongly urge current and prospective investors
to carefully consider the cautionary statements and risks contained in this
report and our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Such risks include, but are not limited to, the continued acceptance of the
Company’s distribution channel by vendors and customers, the timely availability
and acceptance of new products, product mix, market conditions, contribution of
key vendor relationships and support programs, as well as factors that affect
the software industry in general and other factors.

The
Company operates in a rapidly changing business, and new risk factors emerge
from time to time. Management cannot predict every risk factor, nor can it
assess the impact, if any, of all such risk factors on the Company’s business or
the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual
results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking
statements.
Accordingly,
forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a prediction of actual
results and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their dates. Unless otherwise
required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or
revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.
Stock Volatility. The
technology sector of the United States stock markets continues to experience
substantial volatility. Numerous conditions, which impact the technology sector
or the stock market in general, and/or the Company in particular, whether or not
such events relate to or reflect upon the Company's operating performance, could
adversely affect the market price of the Company's Common Stock.
Furthermore,
fluctuations in the Company's operating results, announcements regarding
litigation, the loss of a significant vendor, increased competition, reduced
vendor incentives and trade credit, higher postage and operating expenses, and
other developments, could have a significant impact on the market price of the
Company's Common Stock.
Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
In
addition to its activities in the United States, the Company also conducts
business in Canada. We are subject to general risks attendant to the conduct of
business in Canada, including economic uncertainties and foreign government
regulations. In addition, the Company’s Canadian business is subject to changes
in demand or pricing resulting from fluctuations in currency exchange rates or
other factors. See “Item 2 -
Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Results of
Operations - Foreign
Currency Transactions Gain (Loss).”
The
Company’s $9.0 million investments in marketable securities at June 30, 2009 are
invested in highly rated and liquid U.S. government securities and insured
certificates of deposit. The remaining cash balance is invested in short-term
savings accounts with our primary bank, JPMorgan Chase Bank. As such, the risk
of significant changes in the value of our cash invested is
minimal.
Item
4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls
and Procedures. As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our
management carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures”, as such term is
defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end
of the period covered by this report. This evaluation was carried out
under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including
our Company’s President, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer
(principal executive officer) and Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer
(principal financial officer). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of the end of the period
covered by this report, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated
and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting. There has been no change in our internal control
over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required
by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Exchange Act, that occurred during the quarter ended
June 30, 2009, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
