Basis
of Presentation
|
The
accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the
accounts of TSR, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”). All
significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. These interim financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America applying to interim financial information and with the instructions
to Form 10-Q of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America and normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements have
been condensed or omitted. These interim financial statements as of
and for the three months and nine months ended February 28, 2010 are unaudited;
however, in the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the
consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the
Company for the periods presented. The results of operations for the
interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that
might be expected for future interim periods or for the full year ending May 31,
2010. The balance sheet at May 31, 2009 has been derived from the
audited financial statements at that date. These interim financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2009.

Net
Income (Loss) Per Common Share
|
Basic net
income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing income available to
common stockholders (which for the Company equals its net income) by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding, and diluted net income per
common share adds the dilutive effect of stock options and other common stock
equivalents. The Company has had no stock options or other common
stock equivalents outstanding during any of the periods presented.

Cash
and Cash Equivalents
|
The
Company considers short-term highly liquid investments with maturities of three
months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash
equivalents were comprised of the following as of February 28, 2010 and May 31,
2009:

Revenue
Recognition
|
The
Company’s contract computer programming services are generally provided under
time and materials agreements with customers. Revenue is recognized
in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104, “Revenue Recognition,”
when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the services have been
rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably
assured. These conditions occur when a customer agreement is effected
and the consultant performs the authorized services. Advances from
customers represent amounts received from customers prior to the Company’s
provision of the related services and credit balances from
overpayments.
Reimbursements
received by the Company for out-of-pocket expenses are characterized as
revenue.

Marketable
Securities
|
In fiscal
2009, the Company adopted new accounting standards related to fair value
measurements. The Company has characterized its investments in marketable
securities, based on the priority of the inputs used to value the investments,
into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the
highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities (Level 1), and lowest priority to unobservable
inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the investments
fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on
the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the
instrument.
Investments
recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are categorized based
on the inputs to valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1-
These are investments where values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for
identical assets in an active market the Company has the ability to
access.
Level 2-
These are investments where values are based on quoted market prices that are
not active or model derived valuations in which all significant inputs are
observable in active markets.
Level 3-
These are investments where values are derived from techniques in which one or
more significant inputs are unobservable.
The
following are the major categories of assets measured at fair value on a
recurring basis during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010 using quoted prices in
active markets for identical assets (Level 1), significant other observable
inputs (Level 2) and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

Based
upon the Company’s intent and ability to hold its US Treasury securities to
maturity (which maturities range up to twenty-four months at purchase), such
securities have been classified as held-to-maturity and are carried at amortized
cost, which approximates fair value. The Company’s equity securities are
classified as trading securities, which are carried at fair value, as determined
by quoted market prices, which is Level 1 input, as established by the fair
value hierarchy. The related unrealized gains and losses are included in
earnings. The Company’s marketable securities at February 28, 2010

The
Company’s investments in marketable securities consist primarily of investments
in US Treasury securities and certificates of deposit. Market values were
determined for each individual security in the investment
portfolio. When evaluating the investments for other-than temporary
impairment, the Company reviews factors such as length of time and extent to
which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the
issuer, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment for a period
of time, which may be sufficient for anticipated recovery in market
values.
6.
|
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
|
Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 825, “Financial Instruments”, requires
disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. For cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts and other payables, accrued
liabilities and advances from customers, the amounts presented in the condensed
consolidated financial statements approximate fair value because of the
short-term maturities of these instruments.

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
|
In April
2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard to require that disclosures
concerning the fair value of financial instruments be presented in interim as
well as in annual financial statements. This accounting standard was
subsequently codified into ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments.” In addition,
the FASB issued an accounting standard to provide additional guidance for
determining the fair value of a financial asset or financial liability when the
volume and level of activity for such asset or liability have decreased
significantly and to also provide guidance for determining whether a transaction
is an orderly one. This accounting standard was subsequently codified into ASC
Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” The FASB also issued an
accounting standard which revised and expanded the guidance concerning the
recognition and measurement of other-than-temporary impairments of debt
securities classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. In addition, it
required enhanced disclosures concerning such impairment for both debt and
equity securities. This accounting standard was subsequently codified into ASC
Topic 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities.” The requirements of these
three accounting standards are effective for interim reporting periods ending
after June 15, 2009. Early adoption is permitted for interim periods ending
after March 15, 2009, but only if the election is made to adopt all these
accounting standards. Disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative
purposes at initial adoption are not required. In periods after initial
adoption, comparative disclosures are required only for periods ending after
initial adoption. The Company has adopted the accounting standards for the first
quarter of fiscal 2010.
On April
1, 2009, new guidance was adopted which establishes general standards of
accounting for and disclosure of, events that occur after the balance sheet date
but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This
guidance was subsequently amended on February 24, 2010 to no longer require
disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events.
This accounting standard was subsequently codified into ASC Topic 855,
“Subsequent Events.” The effect of the adoption was not
material.
In
June 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard which established the
Codification to become the single source of authoritative accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) recognized by the
FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities, with the exception of guidance
issued by the SEC and its staff. All guidance contained in the Codification
carries an equal level of authority. The Codification is not intended to change
GAAP, but rather is expected to simplify accounting research by reorganizing
current GAAP into approximately 90 accounting topics and providing all the
authoritative literature related to a topic in one place. The Company adopted
this accounting standard in preparing the condensed consolidated financial
statements for the quarter ended November 30, 2009 and all subsequent public
filings will reference the Codification as the sole source of authoritative
literature. The adoption of this accounting standard, which was
subsequently codified into ASC Topic 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles,” had no impact on retained earnings and will have no impact on the
Company’s statements of income.

Revenue
Revenue
consists primarily of revenue from computer programming consulting
services. Revenue for the quarter ended February 28, 2010 decreased
$790,000 or 8.1% from the prior year quarter. The average number of
consultants on billing with customers decreased from approximately 250 for the
quarter ended February 28, 2009 to 217 for the quarter ended February 28,
2010. The majority of this decrease was experienced in the quarter
ending May 31, 2009. The continuing impact of the broad based economic downturn
has significantly decreased the number of consultants on billing with customers
and also decreased the opportunities to place new consultants on billing with
customers. The revenue decrease is also the result of the continued reduction in
consultants placed with AT&T and lower billing rates caused by discounts and
other rate reductions instituted by customers. The current quarter was also
impacted by the loss of billing days due to the severe winter weather in the New
York metropolitan area.
As a
result of the merger of AT&T with SBC Communications, Inc., the Company
experienced a decrease in new placements with AT&T beginning in the second
quarter of fiscal 2007. This has reduced the number of consultants on
billing with AT&T from 50 at February 28, 2008 to 20 at February 28, 2009
and to 4 at February 28, 2010. The Company expects that these changes
will continue to impact the Company’s business relationship with AT&T,
resulting in few, if any, opportunities to place new consultants at
AT&T.
The
Company’s revenue from programmers on billing continue to be affected by
discounts, such as prompt payment and volume discounts, required by major
customers as a condition to remaining on their approved vendor lists and the
reduction in the number of vendors on the approved vendor lists to increase
pricing competition among the remaining vendors. In addition, most of
the Company’s major customers have retained third parties to provide vendor
management services and centralize the consultant hiring
process. Under this system, the third party retains the Company to
provide contract computer programming services, the Company bills the third
party and the third party bills the ultimate customer. This process
has weakened the relationships the Company has built with its client contacts,
the project managers, who the Company would normally work directly with to place
consultants. Instead, the Company is required to interface with the
vendor management provider, making it more difficult to maintain its
relationships with its customers and preserve and expand its
business. These changes have also reduced the Company’s profit
margins because the vendor management company is retained for the purpose of
keeping costs down for the end client and receives a processing fee which is
deducted from the payment to the Company. Revenue has also been
impacted by the increased use of offshore development companies, particularly in
India, over the past few years to provide technology related work and
projects. The Company is unable to predict the long-term effects of
these changes.
As a
result of the broad based economic downturn, the Company has experienced a
decrease in the number of consultants on billing with
customers. These economic conditions have also reduced the
opportunities to place new consultants on billing with customers. While
customers’ IT spending during the 2010 fiscal year does not appear to be
declining the way it had in prior fiscal years during the economic downturn, any
improvements appear to be slow and uncertain and the Company expects that the
economic conditions will continue to affect the number of consultants on billing
with customers and the Company’s revenue.
Cost
of Sales
Cost of
sales for the quarter ended February 28, 2010, decreased $539,000 or 6.8% to
$7,419,000 from $7,958,000 in the prior year period. The decrease in
cost of sales resulted primarily from the decrease in the number of consultants
on billing with clients. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue
increased from 81.6% in the quarter ended February 28, 2009 to 82.8% in the
quarter ended February 28, 2010. The increase in cost of sales as a
percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to lower revenue generated from
a few of the Company’s major accounts due to increased competitive
pressures.

Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses
Selling,
general and administrative expenses consist primarily of expenses relating to
account executives, technical recruiters, facilities costs, management and
corporate overhead. These expenses decreased $92,000 or 5.6%
from $1,636,000 in the quarter ended February 28, 2009 to $1,544,000 in the
quarter ended February 28, 2010. This decrease was primarily
attributable to a reduction in the number of sales and recruiting personnel and
lower commissions paid to the remaining sales and recruiting personnel due to
lower revenue. Technical recruiters and account executives have been terminated
in order to lessen the impact of the Company’s reduced level of business
activity. However, while selling, general and administrative expenses decreased,
these expenses as a percentage of revenue increased from 16.8% in the quarter
ended February 28, 2009 to 17.2% in the quarter ended February 28, 2010 as a
result of lower revenue.
Income
(Loss) from Operations
Income
from operations decreased $159,000 from $157,000 in the quarter ended February
28, 2009 to a loss of $2,000 in the quarter ended February 28, 2010. The
decrease was primarily attributable to the reduced revenue from the decrease in
the number of consultants on billing with customers and the loss of work days in
the current quarter due to the severe winter weather.
Other
Income
Other
income for the quarter ended February 28, 2010 resulted primarily from interest
and dividend income of $6,000, which decreased by $24,000 from the level
realized in the quarter ended February 28, 2009 due to lower interest rates
earned on the Company’s US Treasury securities, certificates of deposit and
money market accounts as well as lower average investable assets.
Income
Taxes
The
effective income tax rate was 43.0% in the quarter ended February 28,
2009. The income tax provision included in the Company’s results of
operations for the quarter ended February 28, 2010 reflects the Company’s
estimated effective tax rate for the year ending May 31, 2010.
Net
Income (Loss)
Net
income decreased $109,000 from $106,000 in the quarter ended February 28, 2009
to a loss of $3,000 in the quarter ended February 28, 2010. Net
income decreased primarily due to lower revenue from a decreased number of
consultants on billing with clients and lower interest income earned on the
Company’s US Treasury securities and money market accounts.

Revenue
Revenue
consists primarily of revenue from computer programming consulting
services. Revenue for the nine months ended February 28, 2010
decreased $6,044,000 or 18.1% from the prior year period. The average
number of consultants on billing with customers decreased from approximately 276
for the nine months ended February 28, 2009 to 218 for the nine months ended
February 28, 2010. The majority of this decrease was experienced in
the quarter ending May 31, 2009. The continuing impact of the broad based
economic downturn has significantly decreased the number of consultants on
billing with customers and also decreased the opportunities to place new
consultants on billing with customers. The revenue decrease is also the result
of the continued reduction in consultants placed with AT&T and lower billing
rates caused by discounts and other rate reductions instituted by
customers.
Revenues
for the nine months ended February 28, 2010 were affected by the same factors as
previously described in the discussion of the three months ended February 28,
2010. See page 12.
Cost
of Sales
Cost of
sales for the nine months ended February 28, 2010, decreased $4,933,000 or 18.0%
to $22,520,000 from $27,453,000 in the prior year period. The
decrease in cost of sales resulted primarily from the decrease in the number of
consultants on billing with clients. Cost of sales as a percentage of
revenue increased from 82.1% in the nine months ended February 28, 2009 to 82.2%
in the nine months ended February 28, 2010. The increase in cost of
sales as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to lower revenue
generated from a few of the Company’s major accounts due to increased
competitive pressures.

Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses
Selling,
general and administrative expenses consist primarily of expenses relating to
account executives, technical recruiters, facilities costs, management and
corporate overhead. These expenses decreased $546,000 or 10.6%
from $5,132,000 in the nine months ended February 28, 2009 to $4,586,000 in the
nine months ended February 28, 2010. This decrease was primarily
attributable to a reduction in the number of sales and recruiting personnel and
lower commissions paid to the remaining sales and recruiting personnel due to
lower revenue. Technical recruiters and account executives have been terminated
in order to lessen the impact of the Company’s reduced level of business
activity. However, while selling, general and administrative expenses decreased,
these expenses as a percentage of revenue increased from 15.4% in the nine
months ended February 28, 2009 to 16.8% in the nine months ended February 28,
2010 as a result of lower revenue.
Income
from Operations
Income
from operations decreased $565,000 or 66.3% from $852,000 in the nine months
ended February 28, 2009 to $287,000 in the nine months ended February 28, 2010.
The decrease was primarily attributable to the reduced revenue from the decrease
in the number of consultants on billing with customers.
In
November 2009, the Company settled a preference claim asserted by the trustee in
bankruptcy of a vendor management company relating to payments received by the
Company during the 90 days prior to the bankruptcy filing for
$100,000. The Company had provided for this contingency in prior
periods as part of its allowance for doubtful accounts and, as a result, the
charge was applied to this reserve. Accordingly, there was no impact on income
from operations.
Other
Income
Other
income for the nine months ended February 28, 2010 resulted primarily from
interest and dividend income of $39,000, which decreased by $93,000 from the
level realized in the nine months ended February 28, 2009 due to lower interest
rates earned on the Company’s US Treasury securities, certificates of deposit
and money market accounts as well as lower average investable
assets.
Income
Taxes
The
effective income tax rate increased from 42.0% in the nine months ended February
28, 2009 to 45.2% in the nine months ended February 28,
2010. Additional income taxes were provided in the current period as
the result of certain state income taxes and additional income taxes due when
filing the May 31, 2009 returns.
Net
Income
Net
income decreased $385,000 or 68.0% from the nine months ended February 28, 2009
to the nine months ended February 28, 2010. Net income decreased
primarily due to lower revenue from a decreased number of consultants on billing
with clients and lower interest income earned on the Company’s US Treasury
securities and money market accounts.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The
Company expects that cash flow generated from operations together with its cash
and marketable securities will be sufficient to provide the Company with
adequate resources to meet its liquidity requirements for at least the next 12
months.
At
February 28, 2010, the Company had working capital of $12,440,000 including cash
and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit and marketable securities of
$8,130,000 as compared to working capital of $12,288,000 including cash and cash
equivalents and certificates of deposit and marketable securities of $8,584,000
at May 31, 2009.
For the
nine months ended February 28, 2010, net cash used in operating activities was
$416,000 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $1,344,000 for the
nine months ended February 28, 2009, or a decrease of $1,760,000. The
cash used in operating activities primarily resulted from an increase in
accounts receivable of $589,000 and a decrease in accounts and other payables
and accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $107,000, offset by net
income. The increase in accounts receivable resulted primarily from additional
accounts extending their payment terms from sixty to ninety days. The decrease
in accounts and other payables and accrued expenses resulted primarily from a
decrease in accrued payroll resulting from the decrease in consultants on
billing with customers. The cash provided by operating activities in the nine
months ended February 28, 2009, resulted primarily from net income and a
decrease in accounts receivable.
Net cash
provided by investing activities of $1,246,000 for the nine months ended
February 28, 2010 primarily resulted from the maturity of US Treasury
securities.
Net cash
used in financing activities resulted from distributions to the noncontrolling
interest of $39,000 in the nine months ended February 28, 2010. In
the nine months ended February 28, 2009, net cash used in financing activities
resulted from purchases of treasury stock of $1,220,000 and cash dividends paid
of $768,000. In December 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company
reaffirmed a plan previously approved in December 2007 authorizing the
repurchase of shares of Common Stock and approximately 239,000 shares remain
available for purchase under this plan. The Company has not made any purchases
under this plan since September 2008. The Board of Directors
determined to suspend the payment of further dividends effective after the
dividend paid on February 9, 2009 for the second quarter of fiscal
2009. The Board of Directors may reevaluate the Company’s dividend
policy once the economic conditions stabilize.
The
Company’s capital resource commitments at February 28, 2010 consisted of lease
obligations on its branch and corporate facilities. The Company
intends to finance these lease commitments from cash flow provided by
operations, available cash and short-term marketable securities.
The
Company’s cash and marketable securities were sufficient to enable it to meet
its cash requirements during the nine months ended February 28,
2010. The Company has available a revolving line of credit of
$5,000,000 with a major money center bank through April 30, 2010. As
of February 28, 2010, no amounts were outstanding under this line of credit. The
Company has decided not to extend this line of credit past April 30, 2010. The
Company has never drawn on this revolving line of credit and does not believe it
is necessary to meet its liquidity requirements in the next twelve
months.

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In April
2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard to require that disclosures
concerning the fair value of financial instruments be presented in interim as
well as in annual financial statements. This accounting standard was
subsequently codified into ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments.” In addition,
the FASB issued an accounting standard to provide additional guidance for
determining the fair value of a financial asset or financial liability when the
volume and level of activity for such asset or liability have decreased
significantly and to also provide guidance for determining whether a transaction
is an orderly one. This accounting standard was subsequently codified into ASC
Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” The FASB also issued an
accounting standard which revised and expanded the guidance concerning the
recognition and measurement of other-than-temporary impairments of debt
securities classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. In addition, it
required enhanced disclosures concerning such impairment for both debt and
equity securities. This accounting standard was subsequently codified into ASC
Topic 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities.” The requirements of these
three accounting standards are effective for interim reporting periods ending
after June 15, 2009. Early adoption is permitted for interim periods ending
after March 15, 2009, but only if the election is made to adopt all these
accounting standards. Disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative
purposes at initial adoption are not required. In periods after initial
adoption, comparative disclosures are required only for periods ending after
initial adoption. The Company has adopted the accounting standards for the first
quarter of fiscal 2010.
On
April 1, 2009, new guidance was adopted which establishes general standards of
accounting for and disclosure of, events that occur after the balance sheet date
but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This
guidance was subsequently amended on February 24, 2010 to no longer require
disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events.
This accounting standard was subsequently codified into ASC Topic 855,
“Subsequent Events.” The effect of the adoption was not material.
In
June 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard which established the
Codification to become the single source of authoritative accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) recognized by the
FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities, with the exception of guidance
issued by the SEC and its staff. All guidance contained in the Codification
carries an equal level of authority. The Codification is not intended to change
GAAP, but rather is expected to simplify accounting research by reorganizing
current GAAP into approximately 90 accounting topics and providing all the
authoritative literature related to a topic in one place. The Company adopted
this accounting standard in preparing the condensed consolidated financial
statements for the quarter ended November 30, 2009 and all subsequent public
filings will reference the Codification as the sole source of authoritative
literature. The adoption of this accounting standard, which was
subsequently codified into ASC Topic 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles,” had no impact on retained earnings and will have no impact on the
Company’s statements of income.

Critical
Accounting Policies
The SEC
defines “critical accounting policies” as those that require the application of
management’s most difficult subjective or complex judgments, often as a result
of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently
uncertain and may change in subsequent periods.
The
Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the
Company’s consolidated financial statements, contained in its May 31, 2009
Annual Report on Form10-K, as filed with the SEC. The Company
believes that those accounting policies require the application of management’s
most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. There have been no
changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies as of February 28,
2010.
Item
4T. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and
Procedures. The Company conducted an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and
principal accounting officer, of the Company’s disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on this evaluation,
the principal executive officer and principal accounting officer concluded that,
as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure
controls and procedures are effective.
Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting. There was no change in the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the Company’s most recently reported
completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely
to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.
