WAYSIDE TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2010

 

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, 2009.

 

2.                 In January 2010, the FASB issued  Accounting  Standards  Update (ASU) 2010-06,  “Fair Value  Measurements  and  Disclosures:  Improving  Disclosures  About Fair Value Measurements.”  This FASB requires additional disclosures about the fair value measurements including transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and a higher level of disaggregation for the different types of financial instruments.  For the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements, information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements should be presented separately.  ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual financial periods beginning after December 15, 2009, and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In July 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310): “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses” (“ASC 2010-20”). The amendments in this update require additional disclosure about the credit quality of financing receivables, such as aging information and credit quality indicators. Both new and existing disclosures must be disaggregated by portfolio segment or class. The disaggregation of information is based on how allowances for credit losses are developed and how credit exposure is managed. ASC 2010-20 is effective for interim periods and fiscal years ending after December 15, 2010.

 

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 2010 were $7.1 million as compared to $5.9 million for the first six months of 2009. The sales from our Canadian operations for the second quarter of 2010 were $3.7 million as compared to $3.3 million for the second quarter of 2009.

 

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 now codified FASB ASC Topic 220, “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 ASC Topic 985-605 “ Software Revenue Recognition” and  ASC Topic 605-10-S99, and ASC Topic 605 -45, “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

 

6



 

selling price to the customer recorded as net sales and 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 in which the related advertising expenditure is incurred. Cooperative reimbursements are recorded as reduction in cost of sales in accordance with ASC Topic 605-50 “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, 2010 and December 31, 2009, because of the relative short maturity of these instruments.

8.             Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure”, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company uses the following methods for determining fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820. 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

 

7



 

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).

 

The following table summarizes the basis used to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis in the condensed consolidated balance sheet:

12.           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 2006. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense when assessed. No liability was recorded for interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions at June 30, 2010. The Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions it has taken and expects 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.

14.           ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” 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.

 

As permitted by ASC Topic 280, 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.

Item 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 risk and uncertainties, including those set forth under the heading “Certain Factors Affecting Results of Operations and Stock Price” 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, 2009, 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 included in this report and the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2009 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,  value added resellers, (VARs), consultants and systems integrators.

 

We believe that the ongoing general economic downturn is causing our current and potential customers to delay or reduce technology purchases, resulting in longer sales cycles, slower adoption of new technologies and increased price competition. The increase in price competition has led to lower gross profit margins as a percentage of sales. For more details on the possible impact of conditions in the financial markets and the economic downturn on us, see “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

 

More generally, 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 but not limited to: the loss of any major vendor; condition of the software industry in general; shifts in demand for software products;  our customers’ ability to meet their payment obligations in a timely manner; 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.

Net Sales

 

Net sales for the second quarter of 2010 increased 31% or $11.4 million to $48.4 million compared to $37.0 million for the same period in 2009. Total sales for the second quarter of 2010 for our Lifeboat segment were $35.8 million compared to $25.0 million in the second quarter of 2009, representing an increase of $10.8 million or 43%. Total sales for the second quarter of 2010 for our Programmer’s Paradise segment were $12.6 million compared to $12.0 million in the second quarter of 2009, representing a 5% increase.

 

Sales from our Lifeboat segment showed strong growth. The increase in net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010  compared to the same periods in 2009, was mainly a result of our continued focus on the expanding virtual infrastructure-centric business, the addition of several key product lines, and the strengthening of our account penetration.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, net sales increased 29% or $20.0 million to $88.8 million compared to $68.8 million for the same period in 2009. Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010 for our Lifeboat segment were $64.9 million compared to $45.3 million for the same period last year. Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010 for our Programmer’s Paradise segment were $23.9 million compared to $23.5 million for the same period last year.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross Profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 was $4.7 million compared to $4.1 million for the second quarter of 2009, a 15% increase. Total gross profit for our Lifeboat segment was $3.4 million compared to $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2009, representing a 32% increase. This increase in gross profit was due to aggressive sales volume growth within our Lifeboat segment. Total gross profit for our Programmer’s Paradise segment was $1.3 million compared to $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2009, representing a 14% decrease. This decrease was primarily due to competitive pricing pressure.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2010 gross profit increased by $1.1 million to $8.6 million compared to $7.5 million for the same period in 2009. Lifeboat’s gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $6.0 million compared to $4.5 million for the first six months of 2009. Programmer’s Paradise gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $2.7 million compared to $3.0 million for the first six months of 2009.

 

Gross profit margin, i.e., gross profit as a percentage of net sales, for the quarter ending June 30, 2010 was 9.7% compared to 11.0% for the second quarter of 2009. Gross profit margin for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was 9.7% compared to 11.0% in the same period last year. Gross profit margin for our Lifeboat segment for the second quarter of 2010 was 9.4% compared to 10.1% for the second quarter of 2009. Gross profit margin for our Programmer’s Paradise segment for the second quarter of 2010 was 10.6% compared to 12.9% for the second quarter of 2009.

 

The increase in gross profit dollars and the decrease in gross profit margin was primarily caused by the aggressive sales growth within our Lifeboat segment offset in part, by competitive pricing pressure in both segments, and, in part, by our having won several large bids based on aggressive pricing, which we plan to continue to do.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Total selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the second quarter of 2010 were $3.2 million compared to $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2009, which was mainly the result of a increase in employee and

 

14



 

employee-related expenses (salaries, commissions, and bonus accruals and benefits)  of $0.3 million in 2010 compared to 2009. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses for the second quarter of 2010 were 6.5% compared to 7.9% for the second quarter of 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 SG&A expenses were $6.2 million compared to $5.6 million in the same period last year, due mainly to an increase in employee and employee-related expenses of $0.5 million in 2010 compared to 2009. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 6.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 8.1% for 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 2010 were $1.7 million compared to $1.4 million for  the second quarter of 2009. Total direct selling costs for our Programmer’s Paradise segment for the second quarter of 2010 were $0.7 million compared to $0.7 million for the same period in 2009. Total direct selling costs for our Lifeboat segment for the second quarter of 2010 were $1.0 million compared to $0.7 million for the same period in2009, mainly due to increased employee related costs to manage and reward our growth in this segment.

 

Foreign Currency Transactions Gain (Loss)

 

The realized foreign exchange gain for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010 was $2,000 compared to $0 for the same period in 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 the realized foreign exchange gain was $3,000 compared to a foreign currency loss of $1,000 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, 2010, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $576,000, which consists of a provision of $320,000 for U.S. federal income taxes as well as a $117,000 provision for state and local taxes and $44,000 for Canadian taxes, and a deferred tax expense of $95,000. For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $506,000, which consisted 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 six months ended June 30, 2010 the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $1,000,000, which consists of a provision of $535,000 for U.S. federal income taxes as well as a $179,000 provision for state and local taxes and $82,000 for Canadian taxes, and a deferred tax expense of $204,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $891,000, which consisted 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.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

During the first six months of 2010 our cash and cash equivalents increased by $1.1 million to $9.6 million at June 30, 2010, from $8.5 million at December 31, 2009. During the first six months of 2010, net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $3.2 million; net cash used in investing activities amounted to $0.4 million and net cash used in financing activities amounted to $1.8 million.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities in the first six months of 2010 was $3.2 million and primarily resulted from a $3.6 million increase in accounts payable and $2.6 million from net income excluding non-cash charges partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $2.4 million and an increase in inventory of 0.3 million. The increase

in accounts receivable and account payable were mainly due to higher sales volume compared to the fourth quarter of 2009.

 

Net cash used in investing activities in the first six months of 2010 amounted to $0.4 million. This primarily resulted from net purchases of $0.3 million in marketable securities and capital expenditures of $0.1 million. These securities are highly rated and highly liquid. These securities are classified as available-for-sale securities in accordance with ASC Topic 320 “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 cash used in financing activities in the first six months of 2010 amounted to $1.8 million. This consisted primarily of dividends paid of $1.4 million and Common Stock repurchases of $0.4 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. The Company’s business plan contemplates our continuing use of our cash to pay vendors promptly in order to obtain more favorable terms.

 

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.

 

We believe that the ongoing general economic downturn is causing our current and potential customers to delay or reduce technology purchases, resulting in longer sales cycles, slower adoption of new technologies and increased price competition. The increase in price competition has led to lower gross profit margins as a percentage of sales. In addition, the ongoing disruption in the global financial markets may adversely affect the ability of some of our customers to obtain financing.  If this trend continues, it may make it more difficult for some of our customers to perform their obligations under our agreements with them, which in turn could delay the receipt of payment from those customers.  Limited access to financing may also affect our vendors’ ability to supply products, and could result in changes in vendor terms and conditions, such as rebates, cash discounts and cooperative marketing efforts, which may result in downward pressure on our gross margins. The realization of any or all of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation and financial condition and on our stock price.

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 January 2010, the FASB issued  Accounting  Standards  Update (ASU) 2010-06,  “Fair Value  Measurements  and  Disclosures:  Improving  Disclosures  About Fair Value Measurements.”  This FASB requires additional disclosures about the fair value measurements including transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and a higher level of disaggregation for the different types of financial instruments.  For the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements, information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements should be presented separately.  ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual financial periods beginning after December 15, 2009, and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In July 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310): “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses” (“ASC 2010-20”). The amendments in this update require additional disclosure about the credit quality of financing receivables, such as aging information and credit quality indicators. Both new and existing disclosures must be disaggregated by portfolio segment or class. The disaggregation of information is based on how allowances for credit losses are developed and how credit exposure is managed. ASC 2010-20 is effective for interim periods and fiscal years ending after December 15, 2010.

 

Certain Factors Affecting 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. . These statements can be identified by forward-looking words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend”, “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate” and “continue” or similar words. 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. Substantial risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements, including, but 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. We strongly urge current and prospective investors to carefully consider the cautionary statements and risks factors contained in this report and our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

 

The Company operates in a rapidly changing business environment, and new risk factors emerge from time to time. Management cannot predict every risk factor, nor can it assess the impact, if any, all such risk factors may have 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

 

18



 

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 $7.8 million investments in marketable securities at June 30, 2010 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  is responsible for and 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, 2010, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
