TSR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

November 30, 2015

(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 inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed balance sheet as of May 31, 2015, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited 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 condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of and for the three months and six months ended November 30, 2015 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) 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, 2016. These condensed consolidated 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, 2015.

 

2.Net Income Per Common Share

 

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders of TSR, Inc. by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The Company 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 November 30, 2015 and May 31, 2015:

 

   November 30,
2015
   May 31,
2015
 
Cash in banks  $4,145,310   $2,851,802 
Money market funds   534,917    817,988 
   $4,680,227   $3,669,790 

 

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.Certificates of Deposit and Marketable Securities

 

The Company has characterized its investments in certificates of deposit and 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 November 30, 2015 and May 31, 2015 using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2) and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

 

  November 30, 2015  Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
  Certificates of Deposit  $-   $1,530,000   $-   $1,530,000 
  Equity Securities   27,816    -    -    27,816 
     $27,816   $1,530,000   $-   $1,557,816 

 

  May 31, 2015  Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
  Certificates of Deposit  $-   $1,244,000   $-   $1,244,000 
  Equity Securities   27,568    -    -    27,568 
     $27,568   $1,244,000   $-   $1,271,568 

  

 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 certificates of deposit and marketable securities at November 30, 2015 and May 31, 2015 are summarized as follows:

     $1,260,866   $10,702   $-   $1,271,568 

 

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. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

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.

7.Equity

 

During the six months ended November 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not purchase any shares of its common stock. As of December 31, 2015, 56,318 shares remain available for purchase under the previously announced plan.

 

8.Other Matters

 

From time to time, the Company is party to various lawsuits, some involving material amounts. Management is not aware of any lawsuits that would have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial position of the Company.

 

9.Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued an update to ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This update to ASC 606 provides a five-step process to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle of the guidance is that a Company should recognize revenue upon transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the expected consideration to be received in exchange for those goods or services. This update to ASC 606 will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, providing guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively, and improving guidance for multiple-element arrangements. This update to ASC 606 is effective for the Company fiscal year ending May 31, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of this update on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes,” which applies to the classification of deferred tax assets and liabilities. The update eliminates the requirement to classify deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent or current within a classified statement of financial position. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and should be applied prospectively with early adoption permitted at the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to such financial statements.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements contained in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, including statements concerning the Company’s plans, future prospects and the Company’s future cash flow requirements are forward-looking statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those projections in the forward-looking statements due to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the following: the success of the Company’s plan for internal growth, the impact of adverse economic conditions on the Company’s business; risks relating to the competitive nature of the markets for contract computer programming services; the extent to which market conditions for the Company’s contract computer programming services will continue to adversely affect the Company’s business; the concentration of the Company’s business with certain customers; uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to maintain its relations with existing customers and expand its contract computer consulting services business; the impact of changes in the industry, such as the use of vendor management companies in connection with the consultant procurement process, the increase in customers moving IT operations offshore; the Company’s ability to adapt to changing market conditions; and other risks and uncertainties set forth in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company is under no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements.

 

Results of Operations

 

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain financial information derived from the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. There can be no assurance that trends in operating results will continue in the future:

Revenue

 

Revenue consists primarily of revenue from computer programming consulting services. Revenue for the quarter ended November 30, 2015 increased $651,000 or 4.5% from the prior year quarter. This increase in revenue resulted primarily from the average daily rates charged for the consultants on billing with customers increasing approximately 8.2% in the current quarter compared with the prior year quarter. This rate increase is primarily the result of placing more consultants in higher level positions. This increase in revenue resulted despite the average number of consultants on billing with customers decreasing slightly from 354 for the quarter ended November 30, 2014 to 350 for the quarter ended November 30, 2015.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales for the quarter ended November 30, 2015, increased $600,000 or 5.0% to $12,679,000 from $12,079,000 in the prior year period. The increase in cost of sales resulted primarily from the average daily rates paid to the consultants on billing with customers increasing approximately 7.6% in the current quarter compared with the prior year quarter. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue increased from 83.1% in the quarter ended November 30, 2014 to 83.5% in the quarter ending November 30, 2015. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to increased reliance on employees, with their related payroll costs, rather than utilizing subcontractors to provide services to customers. Reliance on employees rather than subcontractors is a function of changing customer requirements.

 

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 $62,000 or 2.8% from $2,180,000 in the quarter ended November 30, 2014 to $2,242,000 in the quarter ended November 30, 2015. The rate of increase in these expenses slowed as the Company absorbed the sales executives and recruiters hired in the previous fiscal years. 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 selling, general and administrative expenses to continue to increase as more recruiters and sales executives are hired to stimulate growth. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenue, decreased from 15.0% in the quarter ended November 30, 2014 to 14.8% in the quarter ended November 30, 2015 as a result of the additional technical recruiters and sales executives contributing additional revenue.

 

Other Income

 

Other income for the quarter ended November 30, 2015 resulted primarily from a mark-to-market gain of $5,000 on the Company’s equity securities and interest and dividend income of $2,000. For the quarter ended November 30, 2014, interest and dividend income was $1,000 and the mark-to-market gain was $2,000.

 

Income Taxes

 

The income tax provision included in the Company’s results of operations for the quarters ended November 30, 2015 and 2014 reflect the Company’s estimated effective tax rate for the years ending May 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These rates were 50.6% for the quarter ended November 30, 2015 and 39.6% for the quarter ended November 30, 2014. The effective rate for the quarter ended November 30, 2015 increased due to increased non-deductible expenses and additional state taxes.

 

Net Income Attributable to TSR, Inc.

 

Net income attributable to TSR, Inc. decreased $21,000 from $141,000 in the quarter ended November 30, 2014 to net income of $120,000 in the quarter ended November 30, 2015. This decrease was primarily attributable to the increase in costs of sales as a percentage of revenue outpacing the increase in revenue.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued an update to ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This update to ASC 606 provides a five-step process to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle of the guidance is that a Company should recognize revenue upon transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the expected consideration to be received in exchange for those goods or services. This update to ASC 606 will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, providing guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively, and improving guidance for multiple-element arrangements. This update to ASC 606 is effective for the Company in the fiscal year ending May 31, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of this update on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes,” which applies to the classification of deferred tax assets and liabilities. The update eliminates the requirement to classify deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent or current within a classified statement of financial position. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and should be applied prospectively with early adoption permitted at the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

 

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, 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-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 November 30, 2015.

 

Item 4. 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, as amended (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.
