WAYSIDE TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2012

 

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 (“ U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete audited financial statements.

 

The preparation of these condensed consolidated 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 contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on its 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 in the accompanying financial statements. The Company’s 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, 2011.

 

2.                                Assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries 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 2012 were $11.5 million as compared to $8.8 million for the first six months of 2011. The sales from our Canadian operations for the second quarter of 2012 were $5.6 million as compared to $4.2 million for the second quarter of 2011.

 

3.                                      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 ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income.”

 

4.                                      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 have 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 selling price to the customer recorded as net sales and 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.

 

Accounts  receivable long-term result from product sales with extended payment terms that are discounted to their present values at the prevailing market rates. In subsequent periods, the accounts receivable are increased to the amounts due and payable by the customers through the accretion of interest income on the

 

7



 

unpaid accounts receivable due in future years. The amounts due under these long-term accounts receivable due within one year are reclassified to the current portion of accounts receivable.

 

5.                                      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.”

 

6.                                      The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated fair value at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 because of the relative short maturity of these instruments.

7.                                      The Company accounts for the fair value measurement in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure”, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP 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 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).

9.                                      Basic Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed considering the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and nonvested shares of restricted stock. A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted per share computations follows (in thousands, except share and per share data):

The Company had three major customers that accounted for 14.5%, 11.0% and 10.7%, respectively, of its total net sales during the six months ended June 30, 2011, and 14.6%, 11.4% an 11.0% of total net sales for the three months then ended.

 

11.               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 2008. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense and penalties as operating expenses. The Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions it takes and expects to take 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.

As of June 30, 2012, there is approximately $2.3 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements. The unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.1 years.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized share-based compensation cost of approximately $463,000 and $589,000, respectively, which is included in the Company’s general and administrative expense.

 

13.               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 public 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.

 

13



 

The Company is organized into two reportable operating segments — the “TechXtend” 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, value added 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 the Canadian operations provide the same products and services to similar clients and are considered together when the Company’s CODM decides how to allocate resources.

 

Segment income is based on segment revenue less the applicable 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 an individual segment 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, 2011, 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 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Overview

 

The Company is organized into two reportable operating segments — the “TechXtend” 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.

 

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: overall pricing trends in the markets we serve; the availability and level of vendor rebates and discounts; 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. 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 unaudited condensed 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

 

Net sales for the second quarter of 2012 increased 14% or $8.5 million to $69.2 million compared to $60.7 million for the same period in 2011. The 14% increase in net sales was mainly a result of our continued focus on the expanding virtual infrastructure-centric business, the addition of several key product lines,  the strengthening of our account penetration and larger sales transactions during the quarter . Net sales for the second quarter of 2012 for our Lifeboat segment were $53.5 million compared to $49.0 million in the second quarter of 2011, representing an increase of $4.6 million or 9%. Net sales for the second quarter of 2012 for our TechXtend segment were $15.6 million compared to $11.7 million in the second quarter of 2011, representing an increase of $3.9 million or 33% increase. The increase in sales in the TechXtend division was primarily due to an increase in larger sales transactions in the second quarter of 2012.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, net sales increased 21% or $23.9 million to $136.1 million compared to $112.2 million for the same period in 2011. Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2012 for our Lifeboat segment increased 16% or $14.3 million to $102.9 million compared to $88.5 million for the same period in 2011.  Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2012 for our TechXtend segment increased 40% or $9.5 million to $33.2 million compared to $23.7 million for the same period in 2011.

 

The 16% increase in net sales from our Lifeboat segment in the first six months of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 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. The 40% increase in sales in the TechXtend segment was primarily due to an increase in extended terms transactions.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross Profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 was $5.6 million compared to $5.6 million for the second quarter of 2011. Total gross profit for our Lifeboat segment was $3.8 million compared to $4.3 million in the second quarter of 2011, representing an 11% decrease. The decrease in gross profit for the Lifeboat segment was due to lower vendor rebate attainment and competitive pricing pressure within this segment. Total gross profit for our

 

16



 

TechXtend segment was $1.7 million compared to $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2011, representing a 34% increase. The increase in gross profit in the TechXtend segment was the result of the increased sales volume. Vendor rebates and discounts for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 amounted to $0.4 million compared to $0.8 million for the second quarter of 2011. Vendor rebates are dependent on reaching certain targets set by our vendors. Vendors have been periodically substantially increasing their target revenues for rebate eligibility. Therefore, despite our increasing revenue, vendor rebates have declined.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2012 gross profit increased by $0.7 million to $11.2 million compared to $10.4 million for the same period in 2011. Lifeboat’s gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $7.6 million compared to $7.7 million for the first six months of 2011. The decrease in gross profit for the Lifeboat segment was due to lower vendor rebate attainment and competitive pricing pressure within this segment. TechXtend gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $3.5 million compared to $2.7 million for the first six months of 2011. Vendor rebates and discounts for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 amounted to $0.7 million compared to $1.4 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2011.

 

Gross profit margin, i.e., gross profit as a percentage of net sales, for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 was 8.1% compared to 9.2% for the second quarter of 2011. Gross profit margin for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was 8.2% compared to 9.3% in the same period in 2011. Gross profit margin for our Lifeboat segment for the second quarter of 2012 was 7.2% compared to 8.8% for the second quarter of 2011. Gross profit margin for our TechXtend segment for the second quarter of 2012 was 11.2% compared to 11.1% for the second quarter of 2011.

 

The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily caused by the continued pressure on discounts and rebates earned and 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.

 

The Company monitors gross profits and gross profit margins carefully. Price competition in our market intensified in 2012, with competitors lowering their prices significantly. The Company responded immediately. Although our sales volume increased substantially as a result, gross margins, as well as the rebates and discounts that are material elements of the Company’s overall profitability, were negatively impacted during the quarter. We anticipate that margins, as well as discounts and rebates, for the remainder of the year will continue to be affected by this current trend.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Total selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the second quarter of 2012 were $3.6 million compared to $3.6 million for the second quarter of 2011, which was mainly the result of lower stock compensation and bad debt expense compared to 2011. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses for the second quarter of 2012 were 5.1% compared to 6.0% for the second quarter of 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, SG&A expenses were $7.5 million compared to $7.2 million in the same period in 2011, due mainly to an increase in employee and employee-related expenses of $0.4 million in 2012, compared to 2011. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 5.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to 6.4% for the same period in 2011.

 

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 (a component of SG&A) for the second quarter of 2012 were $1.9 million compared to $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2011. Total direct selling costs for our Lifeboat segment for the second quarter of 2012 were $1.1 million compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2011. Total direct selling costs for our TechXtend segment for the second quarter of 2012 were $0.8 million compared to $0.7 million for the same period in 2011.

Foreign Currency Transactions Gain (Loss)

 

There was no realized foreign exchange gain for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to $1,000 for the same period in 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 the realized foreign exchange gain was $1,000 compared to $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, 2012, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $865,000 which consists of a provision of $726,000 for U.S. federal income taxes as well as a $137,000 provision for state and local taxes and $44,000 for foreign taxes, and a deferred tax benefit of $42,000. For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $820,000, which consists of a provision of $566,000 for U.S. federal income taxes as well as a $165,000 provision for state and local taxes and $46,000 for Canadian taxes, and a deferred tax expense of $43,000.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2012 the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $1,541,000, which consists of a provision of $1,208,000 for U.S. federal income taxes as well as a $228,000 provision for state and local taxes and $123,000 for Canadian taxes, and a deferred tax benefit of $18,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $1,358,000, which consists of a provision of $922,000 for U.S. federal income taxes as well as a $268,000 provision for state and local taxes and $103,000 for Canadian taxes, and a deferred tax expense of $65,000.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

During the first six months of 2012 our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $2.0 million to $7.2 million at June 30, 2012, from $9.2 million at December 31, 2011. During the first six months of 2012, net cash used in operating activities amounted to $0.4 million; net cash used in investing activities amounted to $0.3 million and net cash used in financing activities amounted to $1.3 million.

 

Net cash used in operating activities in the first the six months of 2012 was $0.4 million and primarily resulted from a $4.1 million increase in accounts receivable, partially offset by $3.0 million from net income excluding non-cash charges, and a decrease in prepaid expenses of $0.7 million.

 

Net cash used in investing activities in the first six months of 2012 amounted to $0.3 million. This primarily resulted from net purchases of $0.2 million in marketable securities and capital expenditures of $0.1 million. These marketable securities are highly rated, highly liquid and 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.

 

Net cash used in financing activities in the first six months of 2012 amounted to $1.3 million. This consisted primarily of dividends paid of $1.5 million and Common Stock repurchases of $0.3 million partially offset by proceeds from stock options exercised 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 Common Stock repurchase 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 a credit facility.

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.

 

The Company’s Canadian business is subject to changes in demand or pricing resulting from fluctuations in currency exchange rates or other factors.  We are subject to fluctuations in the Canadian Dollar to U.S. Dollar exchange rate.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of June 30, 2012, 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with U.S. 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. Generally, 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 as previously described herein. 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.

 

19



 

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. The Company’s actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

The Company believes the following critical accounting policies described below, used in the preparation of its unaudited condensed 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 in an amount 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 was 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 an expense as it is amortized 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 compensation awards. In connection with valuing stock options, we use the Black-Scholes model, which requires us to consider certain facts and to estimate certain subjective assumptions. The key facts and assumptions we consider are: (i) the expected volatility of our Common Stock; (ii) the expected term of the award; and (iii) the expected forfeiture rate. In connection with valuing shares of our Restricted Stock 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 Common Stock based compensation awards granted in future periods. Such changes may lead to a significant change in the expense we recognize in connection with share-based compensation.

 

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 be correct. Substantial risks and uncertainties unknown at this time 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, competitive pricing pressures, contribution of key vendor relationships and support programs, including vendor rebates and discounts, 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 risk factors contained in this report and our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

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, that all such risk factors may have on the Company’s business or the extent to which any one risk factor, or any combination of risk 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 and the United States stock markets continue to experience substantial volatility. Numerous conditions, which impact the technology sector or the stock markets 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 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 $5.6 million investments in marketable securities at June 30, 2012 are invested in insured certificates of deposit. The remaining cash balance is invested in short-term savings accounts with our primary banks, Citibank, and JPMorgan Chase Bank. As such, we believe that 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

 

21



 

the supervision and with the participation of various members 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, 2012, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
