NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
February 28, 2013
(Unaudited)
 
1.  
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of TSR, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”).  All significant intercompany 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 and nine months ended February 28, 2013 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, 2013.  The balance sheet at May 31, 2012 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, 2012.

2.  
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
 
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders (which for the Company equals its net income (loss)) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  The Company has had no stock options or other common stock equivalents outstanding during any of the periods presented.

3.  
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, 2013 and May 31, 2012:

Money market funds
    316,192       2,848,793  
    $ 2,483,449     $ 7,514,749  
 
4.  
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company’s contract computer programming services are generally provided under time and materials arrangements with its customers.  Revenue is recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, “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.  Revenue is recorded net of all discounts and processing fees. 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.

5.  
Marketable Securities
 
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 condensed 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 as of February 28, 2013 and May 31, 2012 using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2) and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

    $ 20,672     $ 500,000     $ -     $ 520,672  
 
Based upon the Company’s intent and ability to hold its certificates of deposit to maturity (which maturities range up to twelve months at purchase), such securities have been classified as held-to-maturity and are carried at amortized cost, which approximates market 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 a 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, 2013 and May 31, 2012 are summarized as follows:

The Company’s investments in marketable securities consist primarily of investments in 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.

Revenue
 
Revenue consists primarily of revenue from computer programming consulting services.  Revenue for the quarter ended February 28, 2013 decreased $578,000 or 5.2% from the prior year quarter.  The average number of consultants on billing with customers increased slightly from approximately 270 for the quarter ended February 29, 2012 to 275 for the quarter ended February 28, 2013.

During the current quarter, although consultants on billing with customers increased, the Company experienced a decrease in revenue due to reduced average billing rates for the consultants on billing with customers compared with the prior year period. This resulted from a shift in the business mix as a higher percentage of new placements have been with customers where there is stronger competition due to managed vendor services programs. During the current quarter, the Company also experienced a decrease in revenue due to a lower number of billable work days in the current period compared with the prior year quarter.

Cost of Sales
 
Cost of sales for the quarter ended February 28, 2013 decreased $498,000 or 5.3% to $8,874,000 from $9,372,000 in the prior year period.  The decrease in cost of sales resulted primarily from a combination of a decrease in the average pay rates and a lower number of work days for the consultants on billing with customers in the current quarter compared with the prior year quarter.  Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue decreased from 84.5% in the quarter ended February 29, 2012 to 84.4% in the quarter ended February 28, 2013.

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 increased $157,000 or 8.4% from $1,861,000 in the quarter ended February 29, 2012 to $2,018,000 in the quarter ended February 28, 2013.  This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of recruiting and sales executives and expenses associated with the recruiting training program.  The Company’s plan for internal growth involves the hiring of additional recruiters and sales executives. The Company has established a program to hire and train recent college graduates to become recruiters. The initial costs associated with the hiring and training of such personnel have increased selling, general and administrative expenses.  Technical recruiters have been hired in order to address increased requests by clients for submissions of technical personnel for potential positions. Such increased submissions have not yet led to the expected increases in placements.  In addition, hiring new sales executives requires a significant investment to cover their costs while their non-compete agreements, which typically last a year, expire.  The Company expects these expenses to continue to increase as more recruiting trainees and sales executives are hired to stimulate growth.  Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenue, increased from 16.8% in the quarter ended February 29, 2012 to 19.2% in the quarter ended February 28, 2013 as a result of the increase in the number of technical recruiters and sales executives not yet generating sufficient additional revenue.
  
Other Income
 
Other income for the quarter ended February 28, 2013 resulted primarily from interest income of $6,000.

Income Taxes
 
The income tax benefit included in the Company’s results of operations for the quarters ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 reflect the Company’s estimated effective tax rate for the years ending May 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These rates were 39.2 % for the quarter ended February 29, 2012 and 31.3 % for the quarter ended February 28, 2013.

Consolidated Net Loss
 
Consolidated net loss increased $172,000 from a loss of $82,000 in the quarter ended February 29, 2012 to a loss of $254,000 in the quarter ended February 28, 2013.  This increase in the loss was primarily attributable to the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a result of hiring additional recruiters and sales executives.  Losses are expected to continue until such time as the Company’s plan for internal growth generates a sufficient increase in revenue.

Revenue
 
Revenue consists primarily of revenue from computer programming consulting services.  Revenue for the nine months ended February 28, 2013 decreased $1,217,000 or 3.6% from the prior year period.  The average number of consultants on billing with customers remained at approximately 263 for the nine months ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2013.

During the current period, although consultants on billing with customers was flat, the Company experienced a decrease in revenue due to reduced average billing rates for the consultants on billing with customers compared with the prior year period. This resulted from a shift in the business mix as a higher percentage of new placements have been with customers where there is stronger competition due to managed vendor services programs. During the current period, the Company also experienced a decrease in revenue due to a lower number of billable work days in the current period compared with the prior year period, primarily due to tropical storm Sandy.

Cost of Sales
 
Cost of sales for the nine months ended February 28, 2013 decreased $941,000 or 3.4% to $27,118,000 from $28,059,000 in the prior year period.  The decrease in cost of sales resulted primarily from reduced average pay rates for the consultants on billing with customers as compared with the prior year period. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue increased from 83.5% in the nine months ended February 29, 2012 to 83.8% in the nine months ended February 28, 2013.  The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to revenue being reduced by discount programs and rate reductions at a few of the Company’s major financial services customers.

TSR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
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 increased $518,000 or 9.5% from $5,477,000 in the nine months ended February 29, 2012 to $5,995,000 in the nine months ended February 28, 2013.  This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of recruiting and sales personnel and expenses associated with the recruiting training program. The Company’s plan for internal growth involves the hiring of additional recruiters and sales executives. The Company has established a program to hire and train recent college graduates to become recruiters. The initial costs associated with the hiring and training of such personnel have increased selling, general and administrative expenses.  Technical recruiters have been hired in order to address increased requests by clients for submissions of technical personnel for potential positions. Such increased submissions have not yet led to the expected increases in placements.  In addition, hiring new sales executives requires a significant investment to cover their costs while their non-compete agreements, which typically last a year, expire.  The Company expects these expenses to continue to increase as more recruiting trainees and sales executives are hired to stimulate growth.  Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenue, increased from 16.3% in the nine months ended February 29, 2012 to 18.5% in the nine months ended February 28, 2013 as a result of the increase in the number of technical recruiters and sales executives not yet generating sufficient additional revenue.

Other Income
 
Other income for the nine months ended February 28, 2013 resulted primarily from interest and dividend income of $11,000, offset by an unrealized loss on marketable securities of $4,000.

Income Taxes
 
The income tax provision (benefit) included in the Company’s results of operations for the nine months ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 reflect the Company’s estimated effective tax rate for the years ending May 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These rates were 65.8% for the nine months ended February 29, 2012 and (31.3) % for the nine months ended February 28, 2013. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended February 29, 2012 was impacted by the increased effects of state minimum taxes and non-deductible expenses on lower taxable income.

Consolidated Net Income (Loss)
 
Consolidated net income decreased $529,000 from income of $20,000 in the nine months ended February 29, 2012 to a loss of $509,000 in the nine months ended February 28, 2013.  This decrease was primarily attributable to the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a result of hiring additional recruiters and sales executives and a reduction in gross profit due to lower billing rates.  Losses are expected to continue until such time as the Company’s plan for internal growth generates a sufficient increase in revenue.

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, 2013, the Company had working capital (total current assets in excess of total current liabilities) of $8,800,000 including cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit and marketable securities of $4,489,000 as compared to working capital of $12,402,000 including cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit and marketable securities of $8,035,000 at May 31, 2012.

For the nine months ended February 28, 2013, net cash used in operating activities was $438,000 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $17,000 for the nine months ended February 29, 2012, or an increase in cash used in operating activities of $421,000.  The cash used in operating activities in the nine months ended February 28, 2013 primarily resulted from the consolidated net loss of $510,000, an increase of prepaid and recoverable income taxes of $234,000 and a decrease in accounts and other payables and accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $377,000, offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $686,000.  The cash used in operating activities in the nine months ended February 29, 2012, resulted primarily from  increases in  prepaid expenses of $58,000 and prepaid and recoverable income taxes of $50,000 which were offset by  increases in accounts and other payables and accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $40,000 and advances from customers of $20,000.

Net cash used in investing activities of $1,495,000 for the nine months ended February 28, 2013 primarily resulted from new investments in US Treasury securities and certificates of deposit.  Net cash provided by investing activities of $1,487,000 for the nine months ended February 29, 2012 primarily resulted from the maturities of US Treasury securities and certificates of deposit.

Net cash used in financing activities resulted primarily from a cash dividend of $1.50 per share paid on November 30, 2012, which amounted to $2,970,000, distributions to the noncontrolling interest of $46,000 and the purchases of 21,600 shares of common stock for $82,000 in the nine months ended February 28, 2013.   In the nine months ended February 29, 2012, net cash used in financing activities resulted from a distribution to the noncontrolling interest of $67,000 and the purchases of 34,325 shares of common stock for $147,000.

The Company’s capital resource commitments at February 28, 2013 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, 2013.
