CSP
INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE
AND NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 AND 2006
Organization
and Business
CSP
Inc.
(CSPI or the Company) was founded in 1968 and is based in Billerica,
Massachusetts. To meet the diverse requirements of its industrial, commercial,
scientific, and defense customers worldwide, CSPI and its subsidiaries develop
and market IT integration solutions and high-performance cluster computer
systems. The Company operates in two segments, its Systems segment and its
Service and System Integration segment.
1. Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without
audit, and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are
necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented.
All adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements,
which
are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the
United States of America, have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, the
Company believes that although the disclosures are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading, the financial statements should be read
in
conjunction with the footnotes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006.
2. New
Accounting Pronouncements
In
June
2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes (as amended)—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”
(“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes
recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS
No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” and prescribes a recognition
threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition
and
measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
FIN
48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and
penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48
is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are in the
process of analyzing the impact of FIN 48, which we are required to adopt by
the
first quarter of fiscal 2008.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an
amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)” (SFAS
158), which requires recognition of the funded status of a benefit plan in
the
balance sheet. SFAS 158 also requires recognition, in other comprehensive
income, of certain gains and losses that arise during the period but which
are
deferred under pension accounting rules. SFAS 158 also requires defined benefit
plan assets and obligations to be measured as of the date of the employer’s
fiscal year-end. SFAS 158 provides recognition and disclosure elements that
will
be effective as of the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006
(as of September 30, 2007 for the Company) and measurement date elements
that will be effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008 (as
of September 30, 2009 for the Company). The Company is currently evaluating
the recognition element of adopting SFAS 158. The measurement date element
will
not have an impact on the Company as the Company already measures the plan
assets and obligations as of the end of its fiscal year.
3. Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates
under different assumptions or conditions.
4. Earnings
Per Share of Common Stock
Basic
net
income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss)
available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share reflects
the maximum dilution that would have resulted from the assumed exercise and
share repurchase related to dilutive stock options and is computed by dividing
net income (loss) by the assumed weighted average number of common shares
outstanding.
7
The
reconciliation of the denominators of the basic and diluted net income (loss)
per share computations for the Company’s reported net income (loss) is as
follows:

7. Pension
and Retirement Plans
In
the
United Kingdom and Germany, the Company provides defined benefit pension plans
and defined contribution plans for the majority of its employees. Domestically,
the Company also provides benefits through supplemental retirement plans to
certain current and former employees. These supplemental plans provide benefits
derived out of cash surrender values relating to current and former employee
and
officer life insurance policies, equal to the difference between the amounts
that would have been payable under the defined benefit pension plans, in the
absence of legislation limiting pension benefits and earnings that may be
considered in calculating pension benefits, and the amounts actually payable
under the defined benefit pension plans. Domestically, the Company provides
for
officer death benefits through post-retirement plans to certain officers.
The
Company funds its pension plans in amounts sufficient to meet the requirements
set forth in applicable employee benefits laws and local tax laws. Liabilities
for amounts in excess of these funding levels are accrued and reported in the
consolidated balance sheet.
The
plan
assets comprise a diversified mix of assets including corporate equity
securities, government securities and corporate debt securities.
The
components of net periodic benefit costs related to the U.S. and international
plans are as follows:

Profit
(loss) from operations is equal to sales, less: cost of sales, engineering
and
development and selling, general and administrative expenses, but is not
affected by either non-operating charges/income or by income taxes.
Non-operating charges/ income consists principally of gain on sale of property,
investment income and interest expense. All intercompany transactions have
been
eliminated.
Total
assets include deferred income tax assets and other financial instruments owned
by the Company.
The
following table lists customers from which the Company derived revenues in
excess of 10% of total revenues for the three and nine month periods ended
June

Item 2. Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking
Statements
The
discussion below contains certain forward-looking statements related to, among
others, but not limited to, statements concerning future revenues and future
business plans. Actual results may vary from those contained in such
forward-looking statements.
Markets
for our products and services are characterized by rapidly changing technology,
new product introductions and short product life cycles. These changes can
adversely affect our business and operating results. Our success will depend
on
our ability to enhance our existing products and services and to develop and
introduce, on a timely and cost effective basis, new products that keep pace
with technological developments and address increasing customer requirements.
The inability to meet these demands could adversely affect our business and
operating results.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
are
based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared
in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates
and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues
and
expenses. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those
related to uncollectible receivables, inventory valuation, goodwill, income
taxes, deferred compensation and retirement plans, and contingencies. We base
our estimates on historical performance 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 under different assumptions or conditions. A
description of our critical accounting policies is contained in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 in the
“Critical Accounting Policies” section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Total
revenues increased by approximately $14.6 million, or 28%, in the first nine
months of fiscal year 2007 compared to the same period of fiscal year 2006.
Approximately $6.3 million of this increase was in the Systems segment and
the
remaining $8.3 million was in the Service and System Integration segment.
Product
revenues increased by approximately $13.6 million, or 33% in the first nine
months of fiscal year 2007 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2006.
Approximately $7.2 million of this increase was in the Systems segment and
$6.4
million was in the Service and System Integration segment.
The
$7.2
million increase in the Systems segment product revenue was primarily due to
the
increase in sales to Raytheon of approximately $8.0 million over the prior
year
period, related to sales under the new Raytheon contract that began shipping
in
the first nine months of fiscal 2007. In addition, sales to Kyokuto Boeki Kaisha
(“KBK”) increased by $1.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 versus
the prior year comparable period. These sales increases were offset by a decline
in sales to Lockheed Martin of $1.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal
2007 versus the prior comparable period.
The
$6.4
million increase in the Service and System Integration segment product revenue
was primarily due to a $2.9 million increase in shipments of third-party
hardware in the US Systems and Solutions division plus an increase in product
sales in our German division of this segment of approximately $3.5 million.
Approximately $2.8 million of the US Systems and Solutions division increase
was
from sales to new customers while the remaining $0.1 million of the increase
was
due to increases in sales to existing customers.
The
increase in the German division product sales of approximately $3.5 million
was
due to increased sales volume of $2.0 million plus the effect of a stronger
Euro
versus the US dollar during the nine months ended June 30, 2007 compared to
the
same period of fiscal 2006, which accounted for approximately $1.5 of the
increase. The $2.0 million increase in sales volume was due to $1 million in
sales to new customer and a net $1 million increase in sales to existing
customers.
13
Service
revenues increased by $1 million, or 10% in the first nine months of fiscal
year
2007 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2006. This change consisted
of
an increase of approximately $2.0 million in the Service and System Integration
segment offset by a $1.0 million decrease in the Systems segment. The Service
and System Integration segment increase was derived from a $1.1 million increase
in our German subsidiary, an increase in our UK subsidiary of $1.2 million
offset by a decrease in out US business of approximately $300 thousand.
The
German increase was from $0.6 million of increased sales volume from existing
customers; and $0.5 million was due to the foreign exchange rate fluctuation
of
a stronger Euro versus the US dollar for the nine months ended June 30, 2007
versus the comparable period of fiscal 2006.
The
UK
division increase was due to increased volume of approximately $1.0 million;
and
$0.2 million was due to the foreign exchange rate fluctuation of a stronger
British pound versus the US dollar for the nine months ended June 30, 2007
versus the comparable period of fiscal 2006. The increase in sales volume in
the
UK was due to the completion of a long-term software development contract for
a
single customer, which totaled approximately $0.9 million. The software
development contract began in fiscal 2005, and was completed and accepted by
the
customer in June of 2007. The Company accounted for this contract utilizing
the
completed contract method of accounting, because we were not able to reliably
estimate its cost to complete, in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position
(“SOP”) 97-2 Software
Revenue Recognition
(“SOP
97-2”), Accounting Research Bulletin No. 45 Accounting
for Long Term Construction-Type Contracts
(“ARB
No. 45”) and SOP 81-1 Accounting
for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type
Contracts
(“SOP
81-1”). The Company determined that the criteria for revenue recognition was met
during the quarter ended June 30, 2007, and has thus recorded the revenue in
the
period. In the quarter ended September 30, 2006, the Company recognized a loss
of approximately 33 thousand British Pounds (approximately $60 thousand), which
we estimated would be the loss on the contract once completed. The actual loss
on the contract, determined upon its completion in the quarter ended June 30,
2007, was approximately 78 thousand British Pounds (approximately $152
thousand), resulting an additional loss on the contract of approximately $92
thousand that was recognized in the quarter ended June 30, 2007.
The
decrease in services revenues in our US division of the Service and System
Integration Segment was due primarily to the expiration of annual maintenance
contracts that supported legacy systems, which were not renewed. The Systems
segment service revenue decrease of $1.0 million was due to a decrease in
royalty revenue from Lockheed Martin which was approximately $1.5 million in
the
first nine months of fiscal 2006 compared to approximately $0.5 million in
the
first nine months of fiscal 2007.

North
American revenue increased in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 versus the
comparable period of fiscal 2006, largely due to the increase in product sales
in the Systems segment related to the increase in sales to Raytheon of $7.9
million offset by the reduction in sales to Lockheed Martin of $2.8 million,
referred to above. This combined with the increase in product sales in the
Systems and Solutions US division of $2.9 million, offset further by the
decrease of approximately $0.3 million, in services revenue in the US division
of the Service and Systems Integration segment, also referred to above, make
up
the increase in North American Revenue.
14
The
increase in revenues in Europe for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 versus
the comparable period of fiscal 2006 was due primarily to the reasons set forth
above with respect to sales volumes and foreign exchange rate fluctuations
in
the German and UK subsidiaries, in the Service and System Integration segment.
To summarize the data presented above, $2.6 of the increase was related to
higher sales volume from our German division, $1.0 million was related to higher
sales volume in our UK division, $2.0 million of the increase was related to
foreign exchange rate fluctuation of a stronger Euro versus the US dollar,
and
$0.2 million of the increase was related to foreign exchange rate fluctuation
of
a stronger British Pound versus the US dollar.
The
increase in Asia sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 versus the
comparable period of fiscal 2006 was due to increased sales in the Systems
division to KBK (see above.)

Total
cost of sales increased by approximately $10.3 million for the nine months
ended
June 30, 2007, over the comparable period in fiscal 2006, to $50.3 million
up
from $40.1 million in the prior year period. The increase in cost of sales
was
due, overall, to the increase in sales volume and revenues, reflecting an
overall 2% improvement in gross margin to 24% for the current year nine month
period versus 22% in the prior year. This improvement in the overall gross
margin was due to better product gross margin, which increased by 4% to 23%
for
the nine months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 19% for the nine months ended
June 30, 2006. The increase in total product gross margin was due to an increase
in Systems segment product revenues as a percentage of total revenues, which
increased to 23% of total product revenues for the nine months ended June 30,
2007 versus 13% of total product revenues for the comparable period of fiscal
2006. Because Systems segment product sales carry much higher gross margins
(60%) versus Service and Systems Integration segment product sales (12% to
13%),
this proportional increase in Systems segment sales produced higher overall
gross margins in the nine month period ended June 30, 2007 vs. the comparable
period of fiscal 2006.
Offsetting
the increase in the product sales gross margin referred to above, the services
gross margin decreased by 7%, comparing the nine month period ended June 30,
2007 versus the comparable prior year period. This decrease in services gross
margin was due to lower gross margin in the Systems segment which resulted
from
the lower royalty revenue in the nine month period ended June 30, 2007 versus
the prior year period, which decreased by $1.0 million. Royalty revenues carry
100% gross margin because there are no associated costs of sales with
royalties.

Total
selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.1 million, or
12%,
in the first six months of 2007 compared to the corresponding period of fiscal
2006. The Systems division increase was due primarily to increases in
commissions and incentive bonuses expenses, as a result of the higher sales
volume and net income in the nine months ended June 30, 2007 versus the
comparable prior year period. The $646 thousand increase in the Service and
System Integration segment was due primarily to higher sales commissions and
incentive bonus expenses which increased by $325 thousand as a result of the
greater sales volume and profits, increases in salaries and related expenses
due
to headcount increases of $49 thousand, temporary labor increases of $19
thousand, an increase in bad debt expense of $27 thousand, a restructuring
charge for a force reduction in our UK division of $150 thousand and other
costs
associated with the increased level of business activity.

Total
other income increased by $198 thousand for the first nine months of fiscal
2007
compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2006, as shown above. The increase
in interest income was due to higher rates earned on cash, cash equivalents
and
short-term investments. The increase in insurance settlement income resulted
from a gain associated with the payment to the Company on a life insurance
policy, because the death benefit to the Company exceeded the carrying cash
surrender value of the policy. This compares to the prior year item which was
for payment on a disaster claim due to hurricane Wilma in Florida. Offsetting
these increases was a reduction due to the non-recurring realized gain on an
investment which were realized during the nine months ended June 30,
2006.

As
shown
above, total revenues increased by approximately $7.4 million, or 40%, in the
quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period of fiscal year 2006.
Revenue in the Systems segment increased in the current year quarter versus
the
prior year quarter by approximately $3.8 million, and revenues in the Service
and System Integration segment increased by approximately $3.6 million,
resulting in the overall increase of $7.4 million.
Product
revenues increased by approximately $7.4 million, or 51% in the quarter ended
June 30, 2007 compared to the comparable period of fiscal 2006. This change
in
product revenues was made up of an increase in product revenues in the Systems
segment of $5.0 million versus the prior year quarter and an increase in product
revenues in the Service and System Integration segment of $2.4 million over
the
prior year quarter.
18
The
increase in the Systems segment product revenues of approximately $5.0 million
for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 versus the comparable period in fiscal
2006
was primarily the result of an increase in sales to Raytheon of approximately
$4.4 million and an increase in sales to KBK of $500 thousand.
The
$2.4
million increase in the Service and System Integration segment was primarily
due
to an increase in product sales in our German subsidiary of $2.7 million, and
a
$0.3 million decrease in product sales in our US Systems and Solutions division.
Of the $2.7 million increase in the German subsidiary, approximately $2.2
million was due to an increase in sales volume, while approximately $0.5 million
was due to the effect of a stronger Euro versus the US dollar, during the
quarter ended June 30, 2007 versus the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The increase
in sales volume of the German subsidiary was attributable to approximately
$ 0.1
million in new business and $2.1 from increased business to existing customers.
The $0.3 million decrease in product sales of the US Systems and Solutions
division was the result of lower sales to previously existing
customers.
As
shown
in the table above, there was virtually no change in overall service revenues
in
the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to the comparable quarter of fiscal
2006. However, the Systems segment services revenues decreased by approximately
$1.1 million and service revenues in the Service and Systems Integration segment
increased by approximately $1.1 million.
The
decrease in services revenues in the Systems segment in the quarter ended June
30, 2007 quarter versus the prior year quarter was due to a decrease in royalty
revenues from Lockheed Martin. The increase in services sales in the Service
and
System Integration segment was due in large part to the completion of a
long-term software development contract for a single customer, which totaled
approximately $0.9 million in the UK division plus additional sales volume
increases and the impact of favorable foreign exchange rate fluctuations for
both the British pound and the Euro. The software development contract began
in
fiscal 2005, and was completed and accepted by the customer in June of 2007.
The
Company accounted for this contract utilizing the completed contract method
of
accounting, because we were not able to reliably estimate its cost to complete,
in accordance with SOP 97-2, ARB No. 45 and SOP 81-1. The Company determined
that the criteria for revenue recognition was met during the quarter ended
June
30, 2007, and has thus recorded the revenue in the period. In the quarter ended
September 30, 2006, the Company recognized a loss of approximately 33 thousand
British Pounds (approximately $60 thousand), which we estimated would be the
loss on the contract once completed. The actual loss on the contract, determined
upon its completion in the quarter ended June 30, 2007, was approximately 78
thousand British Pounds (approximately $152 thousand), resulting an additional
loss on the contract of approximately $92 thousand that was recognized in the
quarter ended June 30, 2007.

The
increase in North American revenue in the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was due
to
the sales in the Service and Systems Integration segment. The increases in
sales
to Europe are also discussed in the narrative above which refers to the
increases in sales in the Service and Systems Integration segment that were
derived from Germany and the UK. The increase in Asia sales were the result
of
increased sales to KBK, from the Systems segment, also referred to
above.

Total
cost of sales increased by approximately $5.1 million for the quarter ended
June
30, 2007, over the comparable period in fiscal 2006, to $20.2 million up from
$15.1 million in the prior year period. The increase in cost of sales was due,
overall, to the increase in sales volume and revenues, reflecting an overall
4%
improvement in gross margin to 22% for the current year quarter versus 18%
in
the prior year. This improvement in the overall gross margin was due to better
product gross margin, which increased by 10% to 23% for the nine months ended
June 30, 2007 compared to 13% for the nine months ended June 30, 2006. The
increase in total product gross margin was due to an increase in Systems segment
product revenues as a percentage of total revenues, which increased to 24%
of
total product revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 versus 2% of total
product revenues for the comparable period of fiscal 2006. Because Systems
segment product sales carry much higher gross margins (60%) versus Service
and
Systems Integration segment product sales (11% to 13%), this proportional
increase in Systems segment sales produced higher overall gross margins in
the
quarter ended June 30, 2007 vs. the comparable period of fiscal 2006.
20
Offsetting
the increase in the product sales gross margin referred to above, the services
gross margin decreased by 21%, comparing quarter ended June 30, 2007 versus
the
comparable prior year quarter. This decrease in services gross margin was due
to
lower gross margin in the Systems segment which resulted from the lower royalty
revenue in the quarter ended June 30, 2007 versus the prior year period, which
decreased by $1.2 million. Royalty revenues carry 100% gross margin because
there are no associated costs of sales with royalties.

Engineering
and development expenses increased $165 thousand, or 33%, in the quarter ended
June 30, 2007 compared to the same period of fiscal 2006. The increase relates
to an increase in expenses of $133 thousand in the Systems segment, related
primarily to outside consultants and other costs that were incurred in
connection with the development of the next generation of MultiComputer
products. Engineering and development expense increased by approximately $32
thousand in the quarter ended June 30, 2007 versus the prior year quarter due
to
higher labor costs, fringe benefits and training costs.

Total
selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by $779
thousand, or 26%, in the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to the
corresponding quarter of fiscal 2006. The Systems segment SG&A expenses
increased by approximately $408 thousand, and SG&A expenses in the Services
and System Integration segment increased by approximately $371 thousand. The
Systems division increase was due to increases in commissions and incentive
bonuses expenses of $308, as a result of the higher sales volume and net income
in the nine months ended June 30, 2007 versus the comparable prior year period,
and an increase of approximately $81 thousand in salary and benefit increases
resulting from headcount and salary rate increases. The $371 thousand increase
in the Service and System Integration segment was due to higher sales
commissions and incentive bonus expenses which increased by $124 thousand as
a
result of the greater sales volume and profits, increases in salaries and
related expenses due to headcount increases of $20 thousand, temporary labor
increases of $23 thousand, an increase in bad debt expense of $34 thousand,
a
restructuring charge for a force reduction in our UK division of $150 thousand
and other costs associated with the increased level of business
activity.

other income increased by $264 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2007
compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2006, as shown above. The increase in
interest income was due to higher rates earned on cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments. The increase in insurance settlement income resulted
from a gain associated with the payment to the Company on a life insurance
policy, because the death benefit to the Company exceeded the carrying cash
surrender value of the policy.
Income
Taxes
Income
Tax Provision
The
company recorded an income tax provisions of $725 thousand and $1.8 million
for
the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, reflecting
an effective income tax rate of 46% for the nine months ended June 30, 2007,
compared to an income tax provision of $26 thousand and $251 thousand for the
quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. Our effective
rate was higher than the U.S. statutory rate due to the increased profitability
in our European subsidiary in Germany. The tax expense in the quarter and nine
months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was due to the income generated by our
US
operations and our subsidiary in Germany, as well as for a deferred tax
liability related to goodwill, which is not amortizable for financial statement
purposes.
In
assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we considered our taxable
future earnings and the expected timing of the reversal of temporary
differences. Accordingly, we have recorded a valuation allowance which reduces
the gross deferred tax asset to an amount which we believe will more likely
than
not be realized. Our inability to project future profitability beyond fiscal
year 2007 in the U.S. and cumulative losses incurred in recent years in the
U.K.
represent sufficient negative evidence under SFAS 109 to record a valuation
allowance against certain deferred tax assets. Previously, we had recorded
a
full valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets due to our history
of cumulative losses and our inability to reasonably project whether or not
we
would have future taxable income, primarily due to the erratic nature of our
revenues in the Systems segment which primarily serves government customers.
Late in fiscal 2006, we received a $17 million order from Raytheon that we
have
concluded will result in significant taxable income in fiscal 2007. Based on
this order, we concluded that it was more likely than not that we would generate
sufficient taxable income in the U.S. in 2007 in order to realize an estimated
$1.4 million of deferred tax assets for the year ended September 30, 2006.
We recognized this benefit in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 through
a
reduction of the valuation allowance previously established against our net
U.S.
deferred tax assets, consisting primarily of inventory temporary differences
and
net operating loss carryforwards. We maintained a full valuation allowance
against our U.K. deferred tax assets as we have experienced continued cumulative
losses and do not have any indication that the operation will be profitable
in
the future to utilize any of our net operating loss carryforwards. To the extent
that actual experience deviates from our assumptions, our projections would
be
affected and hence our assessment of realizability of our deferred tax asset
may
change.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Our
primary source of liquidity is our cash and cash equivalents and short-term
investments, which increased by approximately $3.2 million to approximately
$14.0 million as of June 30, 2007, as compared to approximately $10.9 million
as
of September 30, 2006. In the nine months ended June 30, 2007, we
generated approximately $2.7 million of cash from operating activities compared
to $577 thousand in the same period of the prior fiscal year. The significant
change in net cash provided from operating activities was primarily due to
net
income of $2.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 versus net
income of $443 thousand for the same period of fiscal 2006. Working capital
items which were significant uses of cash in the nine months ended June 30,
2007
were an increase in accounts receivable of $1.8 million, related primarily
to
billings in our Services and Systems Integration segment, and an increase in
inventory of approximately $2.0 million, related primarily to the build up
of
inventory for the Raytheon contract in the MultiComputer segment. Working
capital items that were significant sources of cash consisted of an increase
in
accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $1.6 million, and
increases in accrued and deferred taxes of approximately $1.7 million.
Additional operating sources of cash were depreciation and amortization of
approximately $0.5 million and stock option expense under SFAS 123R of
approximately $0.3 million.
22
In
investing activities, $0.4 million was used to purchase property, plant and
equipment for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 versus $0.4 million in the
comparable period of fiscal 2006. Additionally, we used $3.8 million to purchase
short-term investments and generated $2.6 million in cash from sales of
short-term investments during the nine month period ended June 30, 2007 versus
purchases and sales of short-term investments of $1.9 million and $2.1,
respectively for the nine months ended June 30, 2006.
We
generated approximately $0.6 million from financing activities during the nine
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $59 thousand during the prior
comparable period. The cash provided in the first nine months of fiscal 2007
consisted of proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options totaling
approximately $0.4 and stock issued pursuant to the Company’s employee stock
purchase plan of approximately $0.2 million.
Effects
of foreign currency exchange rate changes provided approximately $0.4 million
in
cash for the nine months ended June30, 2007 versus a reduction in cash of
approximately $0.4 million for the prior fiscal year six month period ended
June
30, 2006.
If
cash
generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy working capital
requirements, we may need to access funds through bank loans, sale of securities
or other means. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise any such
capital on terms acceptable to us, on a timely basis or at all. If we are unable
to secure additional financing, we may not be able to complete development
or
enhancement of products, take advantage of future opportunities, respond to
competition or continue to effectively operate our business.
Based
on
our current plans and business conditions management believes that our available
cash and investments and cash generated from operations will be sufficient
to
provide for our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the
foreseeable future.
Inflation
and Changing Prices
Management
does not believe that inflation and changing prices had significant impact
on
sales, revenues or income from continued operations during the three and nine
month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. There is no assurance that our
business will not be materially and adversely affected by inflation and changing
prices in the future.
Item 3. Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
There
was
no material change in our exposure to market risk during the three and nine
months ended June 30, 2007.
23
Item 4. Controls
and Procedures
We
evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2007. Our chief executive officer, our chief financial
officer, and other members of our senior management team supervised and
participated in this evaluation. Based on the evaluation, because we have not
completely remediated previously identified internal control weakness, which
are
detailed below, we concluded that we did not maintain effective controls over
the preparation and disclosure of our consolidated financial statements as
of
that date. These control deficiencies led to (1) the delay in the filing of
our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and (2) the delay in the filing of our
Form 10-Q for the Quarter Ended December 31, 2006, as detailed in our 2006
Form 10-K for reasons described below. It should be noted that management is
in
the process of remediating these internal control weaknesses, and anticipates
completing such remediation by the end of its fiscal year ending September
30,
2007.
In
our
2004 and 2005 Annual Reports on Forms 10-K, we disclosed that we did not have
adequate staffing and experience in our finance group to control the increased
transaction activity, address non-routine accounting matters, and manage the
financial reporting complexities resulting from the acquisition of Technisource
and that this matter was considered a material weakness in internal control.
In
2005
and during 2006, we took steps to address this weakness. During the year end
reporting of the 2006 Form 10-K, the following issues were noted : 1) the
Modcomp Systems and Solutions Division experienced difficulties at the end
of
our fourth quarter with respect to revenue recognition, accounts payable and
the
related period end cutoff, and 2) in the corporate financial reporting process,
the calculation of the tax provision and related deferred assets and liabilities
at the end of our fourth quarter also contributed to the delay in issuing the
financial statements.
Accordingly,
management determined that these issues are indicative of control deficiencies
that constitute a material weakness in our internal control over financial
reporting. A material weakness is a control deficiency or a combination of
control deficiencies that results in more than a remote likelihood that a
material misstatement of the annual or interim consolidated financial statements
will not be prevented or detected
Management
has taken or is taking the following actions to address the weaknesses;
(1) the Company added a Vice President of Finance/Chief Accounting Officer,
which will enhance our management group experience and capabilities in the
areas
of technical accounting and internal controls over financial reporting. These
enhanced capabilities extend to both corporate accounting functions, and
increased oversight of the Modcomp Systems and Solutions Division. Management
has determined that these enhancements, combined with additional remediation
steps detailed herein, will be sufficient to remediate the internal control
deficiencies experienced in the Modcomp Systems and Solutions Division, thereby
alleviating the need to add a chief financial officer for the Division, which
had been previously contemplated, (2) establishing strong internal controls
over the procurement and fulfillment cycles at Modcomp Systems and Solutions
division during 2007 and (3) the Company has acquired certain information
technology solutions and/or outsourced certain functions to increase the
accuracy, efficiency and timeliness of the financial reporting process including
the calculation of the tax provision. The implementation of these improvements
is expected to be completed in fiscal 2007. The Audit Committee has reviewed
all
of the matters discussed above and have been actively assessing the plan to
improve our controls and procedures. The Committee will continue to monitor
the
situation and expects to take such further actions as are needed.
The
effectiveness of a system of disclosure controls and procedures is subject
to
various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in
decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the
soundness of internal controls, and fraud. Due to such inherent limitations,
there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures
will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud, or in making all material
information known in a timely manner to appropriate levels of management.
During
the first nine months of fiscal 2007, the Company has added a Vice President
of
Finance/Chief Accounting Officer to its corporate accounting staff. As stated
above, management believes that the addition of this newly created position
has
added to the Company’s capabilities in the areas of technical accounting and
internal controls over financial reporting. Management believes that the
addition of this position is reasonably likely to materially improve the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting. There were no other changes
in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting, however, management continues to work towards implementing
the actions referred to above to address the identified control weaknesses.
