NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

(1) NATURE OF OPERATIONS

ModusLink Global Solutions, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “ModusLink Global Solutions” or the “Company”), through its wholly owned subsidiaries, ModusLink Corporation (“ModusLink”) and ModusLink PTS, Inc. (“ModusLink PTS”), executes comprehensive supply chain and logistics services (the “Supply Chain Business”) that are designed to improve clients’ revenue, cost, sustainability and customer experience objectives. ModusLink Global Solutions provides services to leading companies in consumer electronics, communications, computing, medical devices, software, and retail. The Company’s operations are supported by a global footprint that includes more than 25 sites across North America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific region.

The Company previously operated under the names CMGI, Inc. and CMG Information Services, Inc. and was incorporated in Delaware in 1986.

(2) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company 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 Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended July 31, 2013, which are contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on October 15, 2013. The results for the three months ended October 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the issuance of financial statements to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. For the period ended October 31, 2013, the Company evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date these financial statements were filed.

(3) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amended guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss, or tax credit carryforward exists. The guidance requires an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, to be presented as a reduction of a deferred tax asset when a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss, or tax credit carryforward exists, with certain exceptions. This accounting guidance is effective prospectively starting with our first quarter of fiscal year 2015, and is related to presentation only. Its adoption will not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

(4) INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by both the moving average and the first-in, first-out methods. Materials that the Company typically procures on behalf of its clients that are included in inventory include materials such as compact discs, printed materials, manuals, labels, hardware accessories, hard disk drives, consumer packaging, shipping boxes and labels, power cords and cables for client-owned electronic devices.

Table of Contents

Inventories consisted of the following:

The Company continuously monitors inventory balances and records inventory write-downs for any excess of the cost of the inventory over its estimated market value. The Company also monitors inventory balances for obsolescence and excess quantities as compared to projected demand. The Company’s inventory methodology is based on assumptions about average shelf life of inventory, forecasted volumes, forecasted selling prices, write-down history of inventory and market conditions. While such assumptions may change from period to period, in determining the net realizable value of its inventories, the Company uses the best information available as of the balance sheet date. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected, or the Company experiences a higher incidence of inventory obsolescence because of rapidly changing technology and customer requirements, additional inventory write-downs may be required. Once established, write-downs of inventory are considered permanent adjustments to the cost basis of inventory and cannot be reversed due to subsequent increases in demand forecasts.

(5) INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES

The Company maintains interests in several privately held companies primarily through its interests in two venture capital funds which invest as “@Ventures.” The Company invests in early stage technology companies. These investments are generally made in connection with a round of financing with other third-party investors.

During the three months ended October 31, 2013 no investments were made by @Ventures in privately held companies. During the three months ended October 31, 2012, approximately $0.6 million was invested by @Ventures in privately held companies. At October 31, 2013 and July 31, 2013, the Company’s carrying value of investments in privately held companies was approximately $7.8 million and $8.0 million, respectively. No impairment charges were recorded during the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012. During the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, @Ventures did not receive any distributions from its investments.

Investments in which the Company’s interest is less than 20% and which are not classified as available-for-sale securities are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value unless it is determined that the Company exercises significant influence over the investee company, in which case the equity method of accounting is used. For those investments in which the Company’s voting interest is between 20% and 50%, the equity method of accounting is generally used. Under this method, the investment balance, originally recorded at cost, is adjusted to recognize the Company’s share of net earnings or losses of the investee company as they occur, limited to the extent of the Company’s investment in, advances to and commitments for the investee. These adjustments are reflected in “Equity in losses of affiliates and impairments” in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Company assesses the need to record impairment losses on its investments and records such losses when the impairment of an investment is determined to be other than temporary in nature. The process of assessing whether a particular investment’s net realizable value is less than its carrying cost requires a significant amount of judgment. In making this judgment, the Company carefully considers the investee’s cash position, projected cash flows (both short and long-term), financing needs, recent financing rounds, most recent valuation data, the current investing environment, management/ownership changes and competition. The valuation process is based primarily on information that the Company requests from these privately held companies which are not subject to the same disclosure and audit requirements as those of U.S. public companies. As such, the reliability and the accuracy of the data may vary.

(6) GOODWILL

The Company conducts its goodwill impairment test on July 31 of each fiscal year. In addition, if and when events or circumstances change that could reduce the fair value of any of its reporting units below its carrying value, an interim test is performed. In making this assessment, the Company relies on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, and transactions and marketplace data. The Company’s reporting units are the same as its operating segments: Americas, Asia, Europe, e-Business, and ModusLink PTS.

The Company’s remaining goodwill of $3.1 million as of October 31, 2013 relates to the Company’s e-Business reporting unit. There were no indicators of impairment identified related to the Company’s e-Business reporting unit during the three months ended October 31, 2013.

(7) OTHER CURRENT LIABILITIES

The following table reflects the components of “Other Current Liabilities”:

As of October 31, 2013 and July 31, 2013, the Company had accrued pricing liabilities of approximately $20.9 million. As previously reported by the Company, several principal adjustments were made to its historic financial statements for periods ending on or before January 31, 2012, the most significant of which related to the treatment of vendor rebates in its pricing policies. Where the retention of a rebate or a mark-up was determined to have been inconsistent with a client contract (collectively referred to as “pricing adjustments”), the Company concluded that these amounts were not properly recorded as revenue. Accordingly, revenue was reduced by an equivalent amount for the period that the rebate was estimated to have affected. A corresponding liability for the same amount was recorded in that period (referred to as accrued pricing liabilities). The Company believes that it may not ultimately be required to pay all of the accrued pricing liabilities, due in part to the nature of the interactions with its clients. The remaining accrued pricing liabilities at October 31, 2013 will be derecognized when there is sufficient information for the Company to conclude that such liabilities have been extinguished, which may occur through payment, legal release, or other legal or factual determination.

(8) RESTRUCTURING, NET

Restructuring and other costs for the three months ended October 31, 2013 primarily included continuing charges for headcount reductions and facility consolidations in an effort to streamline operations, including the closure and consolidation of operations of facilities in the U.S. and Europe. It is expected that the payments of employee-related charges will be substantially completed during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014. The remaining contractual obligations primarily relate to facility lease obligations for vacant space resulting from the previous restructuring activities of the Company. The Company anticipates that contractual obligations will be substantially fulfilled by August 2015.

The $0.9 million restructuring charge recorded during the three months ended October 31, 2013 primarily consisted of approximately $0.2 million, $0.1 million, and $0.6 million of employee-related costs in the Americas, Asia, and Europe, respectively, related to the workforce reduction of 49 employees in our global supply chain operations.

The $1.5 million restructuring charge recorded during the three months ended October 31, 2012 primarily consisted of approximately $0.3 million, $0.7 million, and $0.5 million of employee-related costs in the Americas, Asia, and Europe, respectively, related to the workforce reduction of 62 employees in our global supply chain operations.

The following tables summarize the activities related to the restructuring accrual and by reportable segment for the three months ended October 31, 2013:

The net restructuring charges for the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 would have been allocated as follows had the Company recorded the expense and adjustments within the functional department of the restructured activities:

(9) CONTINGENCIES

On February 15, 2012, the staff of the Division of Enforcement of the SEC initiated with the Company an informal inquiry, and later a formal action, regarding the Company’s treatment of rebates associated with volume discounts provided by vendors. To date, the SEC has not asserted any formal claims.

On June 11, 2012, we announced the pending restatement of the Company’s financial statements for the periods ending on or before January 31, 2012 (the “June 11, 2012 Announcement”), related to the Company’s accounting treatment of rebates associated with volume discounts provided by vendors. The restated financial statements were filed on January 11, 2013. After the June 11, 2012 Announcement, stockholders of the Company commenced three purported class actions in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts arising from the circumstances described in the June 11, 2012 Announcement (the “Securities Actions”), entitled, respectively:

Each of the Securities Actions purports to be brought on behalf of those persons who purchased shares of the Company between September 26, 2007 through and including June 8, 2012 (the “Class Period”) and alleges that failure to timely disclose the issues raised in the June 11, 2012 Announcement during the Class Period rendered defendants’ public statements concerning the Company’s financial condition materially false and misleading in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. On February 11, 2013, plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint in the Securities Actions. The Company moved to dismiss the amended complaint on March 11, 2013. On November 8, 2013, the Court held a hearing on the Company’s motion, but it has not yet issued a decision.

On July 13, 2012, a fourth stockholder commenced a purported derivative action in United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts against the Company (as nominal defendants), and certain of its current and former directors and officers, entitled, Samuel Montini, Derivatively On Behalf Of ModusLink Global Solutions, Inc. v. Joseph C. Lawler, Steven G. Crane, Francis J. Jules, Virginia G. Breen, Michael J. Mardy, Edward E. Lucente, Jeffrey J. Fenton, Joseph M. O’Donnell, William R. McLennan, Thomas H. Johnson, And Anthony J. Bay, Defendants, And ModusLink Global Solutions, Inc., A Delaware Corporation, Nominal Defendant, Case 1:12-CV-11296-DJC and on July 31, 2012, a fifth stockholder commenced a purported derivative action in United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts against the Company (as nominal defendants), and certain of its current and former directors and officers, entitled, Edward Tansey, Derivatively On Behalf Of ModusLink Global Solutions, Inc. v. Joseph C. Lawler, Steven G.

Table of Contents

Crane, Francis J. Jules, Virginia G. Breen, Michael J. Mardy, Edward E. Lucente, Jeffrey J. Fenton, Joseph M. O’Donnell, William R.McLennan, Thomas H. Johnson, And Anthony J. Bay, Defendants, And ModusLink Global Solutions, Inc., A Delaware Corporation, Nominal Defendant, Civil Action No. 12-CV-11399 (DJC) (collectively, the “Derivative Actions”). The Derivative Actions further assert that as a result of the individual defendants’ alleged actions and course of conduct, the Company is now the subject of the Securities Actions and will incur related expenses and a possible judgment against it. These litigation matters also arise from the issues raised in the June 11, 2012 Announcement and allege that the individual defendants breached their duty of loyalty to the Company by allowing defendants to cause, or by themselves causing, the Company to make improper statements regarding its business prospects and/or by failing to prevent the other Individual Defendants from taking such purportedly illegal actions. The plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint in the Derivative Actions on March 4, 2013, and the Company moved to dismiss the Amended Complaint on April 4, 2013. On November 8, 2013, the Court held a hearing on the Company’s motion, but it has not yet issued a decision.

On October 10, 2012, a sixth stockholder, Donald Reith, served upon the Company’s Board of Directors a demand to institute litigation and take other purportedly necessary, but unidentified, remedial measures to redress and prevent a recurrence of purported breaches of fiduciary duties on the part of the Board and unspecified corporate officers allegedly arising from the same facts and circumstances asserted in the Derivative Actions. On February 4, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors voted unanimously to reject Mr. Reith’s demand.

Because the SEC has not asserted any formal claims, and because, with respect to the pending litigation, there has been no decision by the Court with regard to the sufficiency of the complaint(s) and no discovery has been conducted, there is no amount of potential damages or litigation loss that is considered either probable or estimable. Although there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome, the Company believes it has meritorious defenses, will deny liability, and intends to defend this litigation vigorously.

(10) OTHER GAINS (LOSSES), NET

The following table reflects the components of “Other gains (losses), net”:

The Company recorded foreign exchange losses of approximately $1.2 million during the three months ended October 31, 2013. These net losses primarily related to realized and unrealized losses from foreign currency exposures and settled transactions of approximately $0.7 million and $0.5 million in Europe and Asia, respectively.

The Company recorded foreign exchange losses of approximately $1.0 million during the three months ended October 31, 2012. These net losses primarily related to realized and unrealized losses from foreign currency exposures and settled transactions of approximately $0.5 million and $0.5 million in Europe and Asia, respectively.

(11) INCOME TAXES

For the three months ended October 31, 2013, the Company was profitable in certain jurisdictions where the Company operates, resulting in an income tax expense using enacted rates in those jurisdictions. The Company operates in multiple taxing jurisdictions, both within and outside of the United States. As of October 31, 2013 and July 31, 2013, the total amount of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits related to federal, state and foreign taxes was approximately $1.0 million.

Uncertain Tax Positions

In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, interest related to unrecognized tax benefits is included in the provision of income taxes line of the Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of October 31, 2013 and July 31, 2013, the liabilities for interest

12

Table of Contents

expense related to uncertain tax positions were immaterial. The Company did not accrue for penalties related to income tax positions as there were no income tax positions that required the Company to accrue penalties. The Company does not expect any unrecognized tax benefits to reverse in the next twelve months. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax and various state, local and international income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. The federal and state tax returns are generally subject to tax examinations for the tax years ended July 31, 2009 through July 31, 2013. To the extent the Company has tax attribute carryforwards, the tax year in which the attribute was generated may still be adjusted upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities to the extent utilized in a future period. In addition, a number of tax years remain subject to examination by the appropriate government agencies for certain countries in the Europe and Asia regions. In Europe, the Company’s 2006 through 2013 tax years remain subject to examination in most locations, while the Company’s 2002 through 2013 tax years remain subject to examination in most Asia locations.

Net Operating Loss

The Company has certain deferred tax benefits, including those generated by net operating losses and certain other tax attributes (collectively, the “Tax Benefits”). The Company’s ability to use these Tax Benefits could be substantially limited if it were to experience an “ownership change,” as defined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). In general, an ownership change would occur if there is a greater than 50-percentage point change in ownership of securities by stockholders owning (or deemed to own under Section 382 of the Code) five percent or more of a corporation’s securities over a rolling three-year period.

Tax Benefit Preservation Plan

On October 17, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a Tax Benefit Preservation Plan between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as rights agent (as amended from time to time, the “Tax Plan”). The Tax Plan reduces the likelihood that changes in the Company’s investor base have the unintended effect of limiting the Company’s use of its Tax Benefits. The Tax Plan is intended to require any person acquiring shares of the Company’s securities equal to or exceeding 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares to obtain the approval of the Board of Directors. This would protect the Tax Benefits because changes in ownership by a person owning less than 4.99% of the Company’s stock are not included in the calculation of “ownership change” for purposes of Section 382 of the Code.

(12) EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” The following table reconciles earnings per share for the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012.

13

Table of Contents

For the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, approximately 3.4 million and 2.2 million, respectively, common stock equivalent shares were excluded from the denominator in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

(13) SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

The following table summarizes share-based compensation expense related to employee stock options, employee stock purchases and nonvested shares for the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, which was allocated as follows:

During the three months ended October 31, 2013, the Company did not grant any stock options or nonvested shares. As of October 31, 2013, unrecognized share-based compensation related to stock options was approximately $2.4 million. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years. As of October 31, 2013, there was approximately $0.1 million of unrecognized share-based compensation related to nonvested stock to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.5 years.

(14) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Comprehensive income (loss) combines net income (loss) and other comprehensive items. Other comprehensive items represent certain amounts that are reported as components of shareholder’s equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Accumulated other comprehensive items consist of the following:

(15) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND DIVESTITURES

On January 11, 2013, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Tech for Less LLC (“TFL”) sold substantially all of its assets to Encore Holdings, LLC (“Encore”). The consideration paid by Encore for the assets was $1.6 million, which consisted of a gross purchase price of $1.9 million less certain adjustments. At the time of sale, the Company received $1.4 million of the purchase price, with the remaining $0.2 million held in escrow for the satisfaction of any post-closing claims. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company reached a settlement agreement with Encore whereby the Company received $0.1 million of the escrow amount, with the remainder reverting to Encore. As a result of the settlement of the escrow amount, the Company’s gain on the sale of TFL was reduced by $0.1 million from $0.7 million to $0.6 million. In conjunction with the asset sale agreement, the Company entered into a transition support agreement with Encore to provide certain administrative services for a period of 90 days from the closing date of the transaction. The Company’s obligations under the transition support agreement were completed during the third quarter of fiscal year 2013. The Company did not generate significant continuing cash flows from the transition support agreement.

The Company’s other discontinued operations relate to a lease obligation associated with a previously vacated facility. In July 2013, the Company reached an agreement with its landlord for the early termination of the lease agreement. As part of the lease termination agreement, the Company paid $0.4 million to the landlord on August 1, 2013 and was released from any future obligations associated with the leased facility. The Company also assigned its interest in its sublease rental income to the landlord.

Table of Contents

For the three months ended October 31, 2013 the Company had $0.1 million of income from discontinued operations, compared to $0.8 million of loss from discontinued operations for the same period in the prior year. As of October 31, 2013 and July 31, 2013, the Company had net liabilities of discontinued operations of approximately $0.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

(16) SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has five operating segments: Americas; Asia; Europe; e-Business; and ModusLink PTS. Based on the information provided to the Company’s chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance and quantitative thresholds, the Company has determined that it has three reportable segments: Americas; Asia; and Europe. The Company reports the ModusLink PTS operating segment in aggregation with the Americas operating segment as part of the Americas reportable segment. In addition to its three reportable segments, the Company reports an All Other category. The All Other category primarily represents the e-Business operating segment. The Company also has Corporate-level activity, which consists primarily of costs associated with certain corporate administrative functions such as legal and finance, which are not allocated to the Company’s reportable segments, and administration costs related to the Company’s venture capital activities. The Corporate-level balance sheet information includes cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale securities, investments and other assets, which are not identifiable to the operations of the Company’s operating segments.

Summarized financial information of the Company’s continuing operations by operating segment is as follows:

Overview

ModusLink Global Solutions executes comprehensive supply chain and logistics services (the “Supply Chain Business”) that are designed to improve clients’ revenue, cost, sustainability and customer experience objectives. ModusLink Global Solutions provides services to leading companies in consumer electronics, communications, computing, medical devices, software, and retail. The Company’s operations are supported by a global footprint that includes more than 25 sites across North America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific region.

We operate integrated supply chain solutions that extend from front-end order management through distribution and returns management. Our solutions enable clients to link supply and demand in real time, improve visibility and performance throughout the supply chain, and provide real-time access to information for greater collaboration and making informed business decisions. We believe that our clients can benefit from our global integrated solutions.

Historically, a significant portion of our revenue from our Supply Chain Business has been generated from clients in the computer and software markets. These markets are mature and, as a result, gross margins in these markets tend to be low. To address this, in addition to the computer and software markets, we have expanded our sales focus to include additional markets within technology, such as communications and consumer electronics, and outside of technology, such as medical devices. We believe these markets may experience faster growth than our historical markets, and represent opportunities to realize higher gross margins on our services. Companies in these markets often have significant need for a supply chain partner who will be an extension to their business models. We believe the scope of our service offerings, including e-Business and repair services will increase the overall value of the supply chain solutions we deliver to our existing clients and to new clients. We expect that e-Business and repair services present the opportunity for greater gross margins and profitability. We also strive to reduce our operating costs while implementing operational efficiencies throughout the Company.

Management evaluates operating performance based on net revenue, operating income (loss) and net income (loss). Among the key factors that will influence our performance are successful execution and implementation of our strategic initiatives, global economic conditions, especially in the technology sector, which comprises a predominant proportion of our business, demand for our clients’ products, the effect of product form factor changes, technology changes, revenue mix and demand for outsourcing services.

As a large portion of our revenue comes from outsourcing services provided to clients such as computer hardware manufacturers, software publishers and consumer electronics companies, our operating performance has been and may continue to be adversely affected by declines in the overall performance of the technology sector and the sustained economic uncertainty affecting the world economy. In addition, the drop in consumer demand for products of certain clients has had and may continue to have the effect of reducing our volumes and adversely affecting our revenue performance. The markets for our services are generally very competitive. We also face pressure from our clients to continually realize efficiency gains in order to help our clients maintain their profitability objectives. Increased competition and client demands for efficiency improvements may result in price reductions, reduced gross margins and, in some cases, loss of market share. In addition, our profitability varies based on the types of services we provide and the regions in which we perform them. Therefore, the mix of revenue derived from our various services and locations can impact our gross margin results. Also, form factor changes, which we describe as the reduction in the amount of materials and product components used in our clients’ completed packaged product, can also have the effect of reducing our revenue and gross margin opportunities. As a result of these competitive and client pressures the gross margins in our business are low. During the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, our gross margin percentage was 11.5% and 9.5%, respectively. Increased competition arising from industry consolidation and/or low demand for our clients’ products and services may hinder our ability to maintain or improve our gross margins, profitability and cash flows. We must continue to focus on margin improvement, through implementation of our strategic initiatives, cost reductions and asset and employee productivity gains in order to improve the profitability of our business and maintain our competitive position. We generally manage margin and pricing pressures in several ways, including efforts to target new

markets, expand our service offerings, improve the efficiency of our processes and to lower our infrastructure costs. We seek to lower our cost to service clients by moving work to lower-cost venues, establishing facilities closer to areas where our clients’ products are manufactured or to our clients’ end markets to gain efficiencies, and other actions designed to improve the productivity of our operations.

Historically, a limited number of key clients have accounted for a significant percentage of our revenue. For the three months ended October 31, 2013, sales to Hewlett-Packard accounted for approximately 30% of our consolidated net revenue while ten clients accounted for approximately 78% of our consolidated net revenue. We expect to continue to derive the vast majority of our operating revenue from sales to a small number of key clients. In general, we do not have any agreements which obligate any client to buy a minimum amount of services from us or designate us as an exclusive service provider. Consequently, our sales are subject to demand variability by our clients. The level and timing of orders placed by our clients vary for a variety of reasons, including seasonal buying by end-users, the introduction of new technologies and general economic conditions.

For the three months ended October 31, 2013, the Company reported net revenue of $191.4 million, operating income of $2.6 million, income from continuing operations before income taxes of $1.7 million and net income of $0.6 million. At October 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities of $67.6 million, and working capital of $120.7 million.

Basis of Presentation

The Company has five operating segments: Americas; Asia; Europe; e-Business and ModusLink PTS. The Company has three reportable segments: Americas; Asia; and Europe. The Company reports the ModusLink PTS operating segment in aggregation with the Americas operating segment as part of the Americas reportable segment. In addition to its three reportable segments, the Company reports an All Other category. The All Other category represents the e-Business operating segment. The Company also has Corporate-level activity, which consists primarily of costs associated with certain corporate administrative functions such as legal and finance which are not allocated to the Company’s reportable segments and administration costs related to the Company’s venture capital activities.

All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Results of Operations

Three months ended October 31, 2013 compared to the three months ended October 31, 2012

Net Revenue:

Net revenue decreased by approximately $5.6 million during the three months ended October 31, 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily a result of lower volumes from a significant software client that is reorganizing its supply chain partially offset by increased volumes from certain client programs. Revenue from new programs was $13.9 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to $39.0 million in the year-ago period. The decline in revenue from new programs was primarily due to a large consumer products program that has been generating revenue for more than 12 months and is now being categorized as base business. Revenue from new programs in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 benefited from an engagement with a consumer electronics client, which commenced several new programs in recent quarters. The Company defines new programs as client programs that have been executed for fewer than 12 months. Base business is defined as client programs that have been

executed for 12 months or more. Approximately $113.6 million of the net revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2013 related to the procurement and re-sale of materials on behalf of our clients as compared to $120.1 million for the three months ended October 31, 2012.

During the three months ended October 31, 2013, net revenue in the Americas region increased by approximately $12.7 million, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase resulted primarily from higher order volumes from a program for a consumer electronics client and higher revenue from an aftermarket services program related to the repair and refurbishment of mobile devices. Within the Asia region, the net revenue decrease of approximately $11.0 million primarily resulted from lower order volumes from certain clients related to the software and personal computer markets. Within the Europe region, net revenue decreased by approximately $8.3 million primarily due to lower volumes from a significant software client that is reorganizing its supply chain. Net revenue for All Other increased by approximately $1.0 million primarily due to higher revenue from a consumer electronics client.

Cost of Revenue:

Cost of revenue consists primarily of expenses related to the cost of materials purchased in connection with the provision of supply chain management services as well as costs for salaries and benefits, contract labor, consulting, fulfillment and shipping, and applicable facilities costs. Cost of revenue decreased by approximately $9.0 million for the three months ended October 31, 2013, as compared to the three months ended October 31, 2012. Gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was 11.5% as compared to 9.5% in the prior year quarter. For the three months ended October 31, 2013, the Company’s gross margin percentages within the Americas, Asia and Europe regions were 9.0%, 24.1% and 4.6%, as compared to 3.2%, 23.9% and 2.4%, respectively, for the same period of the prior year. These increases are attributable to a favorable geographic and client mix and the impact of cost reduction actions at certain facilities.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses:

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and employee-related costs, sales commissions and incentive plans, information technology expenses, travel expenses, facilities costs, consulting fees, fees for professional services, depreciation expense and marketing expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses during the three months ended October 31, 2013 decreased by approximately $6.0 million compared to the three-month period ended October 31, 2012, primarily as a result of reduced employee-related costs ($1.1 million), professional fees including fees related to the financial restatement ($3.2 million).

Amortization of Intangible Assets:

The intangible asset amortization relates to certain amortizable intangible assets acquired by the Company in connection with its acquisition of ModusLink OCS and ModusLink PTS. The remaining intangible assets are being amortized over lives ranging from 1 to 4 years.

Restructuring, net:

The $1.0 million restructuring charge recorded during the three months ended October 31, 2013 primarily consisted of approximately $0.2 million, $0.1 million, and $0.7 million of employee-related costs in the Americas, Asia, and Europe, respectively, related to the workforce reduction of 49 employees in our global supply chain operations.

The $1.5 million restructuring charge recorded during the three months ended October 31, 2012 primarily consisted of approximately $0.3 million, $0.7 million, and $0.5 million of employee-related costs in the Americas, Asia, and Europe, respectively, related to the workforce reduction of 62 employees in our global supply chain operations.

Interest Income/Expense:

During the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, interest income was $0.1 million in each period.

During the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, interest expense totaled approximately $0.2 and $0.1 million, respectively. In August 2000, the Company announced it had acquired the exclusive naming and sponsorship rights to the New England Patriots’ new stadium, for a period of fifteen years. In August 2002, the Company finalized an agreement with the owner of the stadium to amend the sponsorship agreement. Under the terms of the amended agreement, the Company relinquished the stadium naming rights and remains obligated for a series of annual payments of $1.6 million per year through 2015. In both periods, interest expense related primarily to the Company’s stadium obligation.

Other Gains (Losses), net:

Other gains (losses), net consists primarily of net realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses and also include other items such as amortization of deferred costs associated with our credit facility and other gain and losses. The Company recorded foreign exchange losses of approximately $1.2 million during the three months ended October 31, 2013. These net losses primarily related to realized and unrealized losses from foreign currency exposures and settled transactions of approximately $0.7 million and $0.5 million in Europe and Asia, respectively.

The Company recorded foreign exchange losses of approximately $1.0 million during the three months ended October 31, 2012. These net losses primarily related to realized and unrealized losses from foreign currency exposures and settled transactions of approximately $0.5 million and $0.5 million in Europe and Asia, respectively.

Equity in Losses of Affiliates and Impairments:

Equity in losses of affiliates and impairments, results from the Company’s minority ownership in certain investments that are accounted for under the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company’s proportionate share of each affiliate’s operating income or losses is included in equity in losses of affiliates. Equity in losses of affiliates was $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. During the three months ended October 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012, @Ventures did not receive any distributions from its investments.

The Company assesses the need to record impairment losses on its investments and records such losses when the impairment of an investment is determined to be other than temporary in nature. The process of assessing whether a particular investment’s net realizable value is less than its carrying cost requires a significant amount of judgment. In making this judgment, the Company carefully considers the investee’s cash position, projected cash flows (both short and long-term), financing needs, recent financing rounds, most recent valuation data, the current investing environment, management/ownership changes and competition. The valuation process is based primarily on information that the Company requests from these privately held companies which are not subject to the same disclosure and audit requirements as those required of U.S. public companies. As such, the reliability and the accuracy of the data may vary.

Estimating the net realizable value of investments in privately held early-stage technology companies is inherently subjective and has contributed to volatility in our reported results of operations in the past and may negatively impact our results of operations in the future. We may incur impairment charges to our investments in privately held companies, which could have an adverse impact on our future results of operations. A decline in the carrying value of our $7.8 million of investments in affiliates at October 31, 2013 ranging from 10% to 20%, respectively, would decrease our income from continuing operations by $0.8 million to $1.6 million.

Income Tax Expense:

During the three months ended October 31, 2013, the Company recorded income tax expense of approximately $1.1 million, as compared to income tax expense of $0.9 million for same period in the prior fiscal year. For the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company was profitable in certain jurisdictions where the Company operates, resulting in an income tax expense using the enacted tax rates in those jurisdictions.

The Company provides for income tax expense related to federal, state, and foreign income taxes. The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets in the U.S. and certain of its foreign subsidiaries due to the uncertainty of realizing such benefits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, the Company has financed its operations and met its capital requirements primarily through funds generated from operations, the sale of our securities, returns generated by our venture capital investments and borrowings from lending institutions. As of October 31, 2013, the Company’s primary sources of liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $67.6 million.

On October 31, 2012, the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as lender and agent for the lenders party thereto. The Credit Facility provides a senior secured revolving credit facility up to an initial aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million or the calculated borrowing base and is secured by substantially all of the domestic assets of the Company. As of October 31, 2013, the calculated borrowing base was $41.6 million. The Credit Facility terminates on October 31, 2015. Interest on the Credit Facility is based on the Company’s options of LIBOR plus 2.5% or the base rate plus 1.5%. The Credit Facility includes one restrictive financial covenant, which is minimum EBITDA, and restrictions that limit the ability of the Company, to among other things, create liens, incur additional indebtedness, make investments, or dispose of assets or property without prior approval from the lenders. The Company did not have any outstanding indebtedness related to the Credit Facility as of October 31, 2013. The Company’s working capital at October 31, 2013 was approximately $120.7 million.

Cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations represents income (loss) from continuing operations as adjusted for non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities of continuing operations was $(9.5) million and $8.8 million for the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The $18.4 million decrease in cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations for the three months ended October 31, 2013 compared with the same period in the prior year was due to increased usage of cash for inventory purchases and accounts receivable.

During the three months ended October 31, 2013, non-cash items included depreciation expense of $3.5 million, share-based compensation of $0.5 million, amortization of intangible assets of $0.3 million, non-operating losses, net, of $0.7 million, and equity in losses of affiliates of $0.1 million. The increase in accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable is due to the seasonal demands of clients driven by holiday buying patterns.

During the three months ended October 31, 2012, non-cash items included depreciation expense of $3.6 million, share-based compensation of $0.5 million, amortization of intangible assets of $0.3 million, non-operating losses, net, of $1.3 million, and equity in losses of affiliates and impairments of $0.3 million.

The Company believes that its cash flows related to operating activities of continuing operations are dependent on several factors, including increased profitability, effective inventory management practices, and optimization of the credit terms of certain vendors of the Company. Our cash flows from operations are also dependent on several factors including the overall performance of the technology sector and the market for outsourcing services, as discussed above in the “Overview” section.

Investing activities of continuing operations used cash of $1.0 million and $3.4 million during the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The $1.0 million of cash used in investing activities during the three months ended October 31, 2013 represents primarily capital expenditures. The $3.4 million of cash used in investing activities during the three months ended October 31, 2012 resulted primarily from $2.1 million in capital expenditures, $0.7 million of restricted cash used as collateral for borrowing obligations and $0.6 million of investments in affiliates.

During the quarter ended October 31, 2012, the Company restricted cash of $0.2 million to collateralize outstanding letters of credit and $0.5 million to collateralize the Company’s commercial credit card program, respectively. These restricted cash amounts are included as components of “prepaid expenses and other current assets” and “other assets”, respectively, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2013.

Financing activities of continuing operations used cash of $0.2 million during both the three month periods ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 for capital lease repayments and repurchase of the Company’s common stock. The Company is not primarily dependent on liquidity from its financing activities to fund either its short-term or long-term operating activities; however, we have utilized our revolving line of credit to meet operating requirements in the past.

Cash used in discontinued operations totaled $0.6 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, primarily for ongoing lease obligations.

Given the Company’s cash resources as of October 31, 2013, the Company believes that it has sufficient working capital and liquidity to support its operations for at least the next 12 months. There are no material capital expenditure requirements as of October 31, 2013. However, should additional capital be needed to fund any future cash needs, investments or acquisition activities, the Company may seek to raise additional capital through offerings of the Company’s stock, or through debt financing. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to raise additional capital on terms that are favorable to the Company, or at all.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any significant off-balance sheet arrangements.

Contractual Obligations

A summary of the Company’s contractual obligations is included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013. The company’s contractual obligations and other commercial commitments did not change materially between July 31, 2013 and October 31, 2013.

From time to time, the Company agrees to indemnify its clients in the ordinary course of business. Typically, the Company agrees to indemnify its clients for losses caused by the Company. As of October 31, 2013, the Company had no recorded liabilities with respect to these arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of

22

Table of Contents

these financial statements 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, inventory, restructuring, share-based compensation expense, goodwill and long-lived assets, investments, and income taxes. Of the accounting estimates we routinely make relating to our critical accounting policies, those estimates made in the process of: determining the valuation of inventory; determining future lease assumptions related to restructured facility lease obligations; measuring share-based compensation expense; determining projected and discounted cash flows for purposes of evaluating goodwill and intangible assets for impairment; preparing investment valuations; and establishing income tax valuation allowances and liabilities are the estimates most likely to have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, because these estimates inherently involve judgments and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from those estimates.

During the three months ended October 31, 2013, we believe that there have been no significant changes to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in the “Critical Accounting Policies” section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013.

The Company is exposed to the impact of interest rate changes, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and changes in the market values of its investments. The carrying values of financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and the revolving line of credit, approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of capital lease obligations approximates fair value, as estimated by using discounted future cash flows based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

As a matter of policy, the Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. All derivative positions are used to reduce risk by hedging underlying economic or market exposure and are valued at their fair value on our consolidated balance sheets and adjustments to the fair value during this holding period are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of October 31, 2013, the Company did not have any foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding.

Interest Rate Risk

At October 31, 2013, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its Credit Facility and the Company had no open derivative positions with respect to its borrowing arrangements.

We maintain a portfolio of highly liquid cash equivalents typically maturing in three months or less as of the date of purchase. We place our investments in instruments that meet high credit quality standards, as specified in our investment policy and include corporate and state municipal obligations such as commercial paper, certificates of deposit and institutional money market funds.

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment in short-term investments. Our short-term investments are intended to establish a high-quality portfolio that preserves principal, meets liquidity needs, avoids inappropriate concentrations and delivers an appropriate yield in relationship to our investment guidelines and market conditions.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company has operations in various countries and currencies throughout the world and its operating results and financial position are subject to exposure from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company has historically used derivative financial instruments on a limited basis, principally foreign currency exchange rate contracts, to minimize the transaction exposure that results from such fluctuations. As of October 31, 2013, the Company did not have any outstanding foreign currency exchange contracts.

Revenues from our foreign operating segments accounted for approximately 55.4% and 63.6% of total revenues during the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. A portion of our international sales made by our foreign business units in their respective countries is denominated in the local currency of each country. These business units also incur a portion of their expenses in the local currency.

The primary currencies in which we conduct business include Euros, Singapore Dollars, Chinese Renminbi, Hungarian Forints, Czech Koruna, Taiwan Dollars, Japanese Yen, Australian Dollars, Malaysian Ringgits, Mexican Pesos and Indian Rupee. The income statements of our international operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in each applicable period. To the extent the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency-denominated transactions results in increased revenues and operating expenses for our international operations. Similarly, our revenues and operating expenses will decrease for our international operations when the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies. While we attempt to balance local currency revenue to local currency expenses to provide in effect a natural hedge, it is not always possible to completely reduce the foreign currency exchange rate risk due to competitive and other reasons.

Table of Contents

The conversion of the foreign subsidiaries’ financial statements into U.S. dollars results in translation gains or losses which are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). For the three months ended October 31, 2013, we recorded net foreign currency translation gains of approximately $2.1 million which are recorded within accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. In addition, certain of our subsidiaries have monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the relevant entity’s functional currency. Changes in the functional currency values of these assets and liabilities result in foreign exchange transaction and remeasurement gains and losses. For the three months ended October 31, 2013, we recorded realized and unrealized foreign currency transaction losses of approximately $1.2 million which are recorded in “Other gains (losses), net” in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Our international business is subject to risks, including, but not limited to, differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, other regulations and restrictions, and foreign currency exchange rate volatility when compared to the United States. Accordingly, our future results could be materially adversely impacted by changes in these or other factors. As exchange rates vary, our international financial results may vary from expectations and adversely impact our overall operating results.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit 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 that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended October 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

There have not been any material changes in the legal proceedings previously disclosed in the “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013. From time to time, we may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business, which we consider routine and incidental to our business.

There have not been any material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, including in the first paragraph under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation,” you should carefully consider the factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
