PART I

Item 1.Business

General

TSR, Inc. (the “Company”) is primarily engaged in the business of providing contract computer programming services to its customers. The Company provides its customers with technical computer personnel to supplement their in-house information technology (“IT”) capabilities. The Company’s customers for its contract computer programming services consist primarily of Fortune 1000 companies with significant technology budgets. In the year ended May 31, 2018, the Company provided IT staffing services to 56 customers. Also, beginning in the year ended May 31, 2017, the Company has provided and continues to provide contract administrative (non-IT) workers to two of its significant IT customers.

The Company was incorporated in Delaware in 1969. The Company’s executive offices are located at 400 Oser Avenue, Suite 150, Hauppauge, NY 11788, and its telephone number is (631) 231-0333. This annual report, and each of our other periodic and current reports, including any amendments, are available, free of charge, on our website,www.tsrconsulting.com, as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with, or furnished to, the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information contained on our website is not incorporated by reference into this annual report on Form 10-K and should not be considered part of this report.

STAFFING SERVICES

The Company’s contract computer programming services involve the provision of technical staff to customers to meet the specialized requirements of their IT operations. The technical personnel provided by the Company generally supplement the in-house capabilities of the Company’s customers. The Company’s approach is to make available to its customers a broad range of technical personnel to meet their requirements rather than focusing on specific specialized areas. The Company has staffing capabilities in the areas of application development in .net and java, mobile applications for android and IOS platforms, project management, IT security specialists, cloud development and architecture, business analysts, UI design and development, network infrastructure and support and database development and administration. The Company’s services provide customers with flexibility in staffing their day-to-day operations, as well as special projects, on a short-term or long-term basis.

The Company provides technical employees for projects, which usually range from three months to one year. Generally, customers may terminate projects at any time. Staffing services are provided at the client’s facility and are billed primarily on an hourly basis based on the actual hours worked by technical personnel provided by the Company and with reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses. The Company pays its technical personnel on a semi-monthly basis and invoices its customers, not less frequently than monthly.

The Company’s success is dependent upon, among other things, its ability to attract and retain qualified professional computer personnel. The Company believes that there is significant competition for software professionals with the skills and experience necessary to perform the services offered by the Company. Although the Company generally has been successful in attracting employees with the skills needed to fulfill customer engagements, demand for qualified professionals conversant with certain technologies may outstrip supply as new and additional skills are required to keep pace with evolving computer technology or as competition for technical personnel increases. Increasing demand for qualified personnel could also result in increased expenses to hire and retain qualified technical personnel and could adversely affect the Company’s profit margins.

In the past several years, an increasing number of companies are using or are considering using low cost offshore outsourcing centers, particularly in India, to perform technology related work and projects. This trend has contributed to an industry wide decline in domestic IT staffing revenue. There can be no assurance that this trend will not continue to adversely impact the Company’s IT staffing revenue.

Beginning in the year ended May 31, 2017, the Company also provided contract administrative (non-IT) workers to two of its significant IT customers. This service was added at the customers’ request. The recruiting for these positions is less demanding and the Company has hired a separate recruiting staff to handle this business, which includes both-in house and off-shore recruiters. There can be no assurance that the customers will continue to request these services. The Company has no plans to attempt to expand this aspect of its business beyond its existing customers.

OPERATIONS

The Company provides contract computer programming services primarily in the New York metropolitan area, New England, and the Mid-Atlantic region, although there are also customer locations around the country where the Company places contractors. The Company provides its services principally through offices located in New York, New York, Edison, New Jersey and Long Island, New York. The Company does not currently intend to open additional offices. Competition from larger competitors for recruiters has created more turnover than expected and increased the cost of retaining recruiters, making it more difficult to increase the number of technical recruiters on staff. As of May 31, 2018, the Company employed 26 persons who are responsible for recruiting technical personnel and 11 persons who are account executives. As of May 31, 2017, the Company had employed 22 technical personnel recruiters and 13 account executives.

MARKETING AND CUSTOMERS

The Company focuses its marketing efforts on large businesses and institutions with significant IT budgets and recurring staffing and software development needs. The Company provided services to 56 customers during the year ended May 31, 2018 as compared to 64 in the prior fiscal year. The reduction in customers did not include any significant accounts. The Company has historically derived a significant percentage of its total revenue from a relatively small number of customers. In the fiscal year ended May 31, 2018, the Company had three customers which each provided more than 10% of consolidated revenues: Citigroup (20.7%), Consolidated Edison (15.9%), and Pontoon (formerly Beeline) (12.1%). Pontoon provides vendor management services under an arrangement where the Company enters into a subcontract with Pontoon and Pontoon directly contracts with five end customers. The Pontoon end customers for which the Company provides services include Bristol Myers Squibb, which alone constituted 8.8% of the Company’s consolidated revenue for the year ended May 31, 2018. Additionally, the Company’s top ten customers (including end customers of vendor management companies) accounted for 78% of consolidated revenue in fiscal 2018 and 82% in fiscal 2017. While continuing its efforts to further expand its client base, the Company’s marketing efforts are focused primarily on increasing business from its existing accounts. Approximately 31% of the Company’s revenue is derived from end customers in the financial services business. Continuing economic pressures in financial services, primarily with European based banks, have negatively affected the net effective rates that the Company charges to certain of the Company’s end customers in this industry, which has negatively affected the Company’s gross profit margins.

Many of the Company’s major customers, totaling over 29% of revenue, have retained a third party 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 customers’ project managers, who are the Company’s primary contacts with its customers and with whom the Company would normally work 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.

In accordance with industry practice, most of the Company’s contracts for contract computer programming services are terminable by either the client or the Company on short notice.

PROFESSIONAL STAFF AND RECRUITMENT

In addition to using internet based job boards such as Dice, Monster, Career Builder and Discover.org, the Company maintains a database of technical personnel with a wide range of skills. The Company uses a sophisticated proprietary computer system to match potential employees’ skills and experience with client requirements. The Company periodically contacts personnel within its database to update their availability, skills, employment interests and other matters and continually updates its database. This database is made available to the account executives and recruiters at each of the Company’s offices.

The Company employs technical personnel primarily on an hourly basis, as required in order to meet the staffing requirements under particular contracts or for particular projects. The Company primarily recruits technical personnel by posting jobs on the Internet and, on occasion, by publishing advertisements in local newspapers and attending job fairs. The Company devotes significant resources to recruiting technical personnel, maintaining 26 recruiters based in the U.S., additionally contracting with an India based company for 4 recruiters in India and contracting with a Philippine company for 4 recruiters in the Philippines to help locate U.S. based technical consultants. Additionally, the Company contracts for 3 recruiters in the Philippines to assist in locating administrative (non-IT) workers. Potential applicants are generally interviewed and tested by the Company’s recruiting personnel, by third parties that have the required technical backgrounds to review the qualifications of the applicants, or by on-line testing services. In some cases, instead of employing technical personnel directly, the Company uses subcontractors who employ the technical personnel who are provided to the Company’s customers. For a small fee, the Company may sometimes process payments on behalf of customers to contractors identified by the customers directly instead of through the normal recruiting process; this is known as “payrolling”.

Competition

The technical staffing industry is highly competitive and fragmented and has low barriers to entry. The Company competes for potential customers with providers of outsourcing services, systems integrators, computer systems consultants, other providers of technical staffing services and, to a lesser extent, temporary personnel agencies. Many of the Company’s competitors are significantly larger and have greater financial resources than the Company. The Company believes that the principal competitive factors in obtaining and retaining customers are accurate assessment of customers’ requirements, timely assignment of technical employees with appropriate skills and the price of services. The principal competitive factors in attracting qualified technical personnel are compensation, availability, quality and variety of projects and schedule flexibility. The Company believes that many of the technical personnel included in its database may also be pursuing other employment opportunities. Therefore, the Company believes that its responsiveness to the needs of technical personnel is an important factor in the Company’s ability to fill projects. Although the Company believes it competes favorably with respect to these factors, it expects competition to increase and there can be no assurance that the Company will remain competitive.

Intellectual Property Rights

The Company relies primarily upon a combination of trade secret, nondisclosure and other contractual arrangements to protect its proprietary rights. The Company generally enters into confidentiality agreements with its employees, consultants, customers and potential customers and limits access to and distribution of its proprietary information. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by the Company in this regard will be adequate to deter misappropriation of its proprietary information or that the Company will be able to detect unauthorized use and take appropriate steps to enforce its intellectual property rights.

Personnel

As of May 31, 2018, the Company employed 417 people including its 2 executive officers. Of such employees, 11 were engaged in sales, 26 were recruiters for programmers, 364 were IT and administrative (non-IT) contractors, and 14 were engaged in corporate administrative and clerical functions. None of the Company’s employees belong to unions.

Dependence on Significant CustomersEXPLANATORY NOTE

 

In the fiscal year ended May 31, 2018, the Company’s three largest customers, Citigroup, Consolidated Edison and Pontoon, accounted for 20.7%, 15.9%, and 12.1% of the Company’s consolidated revenue, respectively. PontoonTSR, Inc. (the “Company”) is a vendor management company through which the Company provides services to five end customers, of which Bristol Myers Squibb is the most significant, representing 8.8% of the Company’s consolidated revenue for fiscal 2018. In total, the Company derives over 29% of its revenue from accounts with vendor management companies. The Company’s 10 largest customers provided 78% of consolidated revenue in fiscal 2018. Client contract terms vary dependingfiling this Amendment No. 1 on the nature of the engagement, and there can be no assurance that a client will renew a contract when it terminates. In addition, the Company’s contracts are generally cancelable by the client at any time on short notice, and customers may unilaterally reduce their use of the Company’s services under such contracts without penalty. Approximately 31% of the Company’s revenue is derived from end customers in the financial services business. Continuing economic pressures in financial services, primarily with European based banks, have negatively affected the net effective rates that the Company charges to certain end customers in this industry, which has negatively affected the Company’s gross profit margins. See “Rapidly Changing Industry” below.

The accounts receivable balances associated with the Company’s largest customers were $3,692,000 for three customers at May 31, 2018 and $3,340,000 for three customers at May 31, 2017. Because of the significant amount of outstanding receivables that the Company may have with its larger customers at any one time, if a client, including a vendor management company which then contracts with the ultimate client, filed for bankruptcy protection, it could prevent the Company from collecting on the receivables and have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

Dependence on Reputation

The Company’s reputation among its customers, potential customers and the staffing services industry depends on the performance of the technical personnel that the Company places with its customers. If the Company’s customers are not satisfied with the services provided by the technical personnel placed by the Company, or if the technical personnel placed by the Company lack the qualifications or experience necessary to perform the services required by the Company’s customers, the Company may not be able to successfully maintain its relationships with its customers or expand its client base.

Competitive Market for Technical Personnel

The Company’s success is dependent upon its ability to attract and retain qualified computer professionals to provide as temporary personnelForm 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) to its customers. Competition for the limited number of qualified professionals with a working knowledge of certain sophisticated computer languages, which the Company requires for its contract computer services business, is intense. The Company believes that there is a shortage of, and significant competition for, software professionals with the skills and experience necessary to perform the services offered by the Company.

The Company’s ability to maintain and renew existing engagements and obtain new business in its contract computer programming business depends, in large part, on its ability to hire and retain technical personnel with the IT skills that keep pace with continuing changes in software evolution, industry standards and technologies, and client preferences. Although the Company generally has been successful in attracting employees with the skills needed to fulfill customer engagements, demand for qualified professionals conversant with certain technologies may outstrip supply as new and additional skills are required to keep pace with evolving computer technology or as competition for technical personnel increases. Increasing demand for qualified personnel could also result in increased expenses to hire and retain qualified technical personnel and could adversely affect the Company’s profit margins.

Competitive Market for Account Executives and Technical Recruiters

The Company faces a highly competitive market for the limited number of qualified personnel. The competitive market for such personnel could affect the Company’s ability to hire and retain such personnel, including increasing the cost of retaining such personnel and, if the Company is successful in hiring technical recruiters and account executives, there can be no assurance that such hiring will result in increased revenue.

Rapidly Changing Industry

The computer industry is characterized by rapidly changing technology and evolving industry standards. These include the overall increase in the sophistication and interdependency of computer technology and a focus by IT managers on cost-efficient solutions. There can be no assurance that these changes will not adversely affect demand for technical staffing services. Organizations may elect to perform such services in-house or outsource such functions to companies that do not utilize temporary staffing, such as that provided by the Company.

Page 4

Additionally, a number of companies have, in recent years, limited the number of vendors on their approved vendor lists, and are continuing to do so. In some cases this has required the Company to subcontract with a company on the approved vendor list to provide services to customers. The staffing industry has also experienced margin erosion caused by this increased competition, and customers leveraging their buying power by consolidating the number of vendors with which they deal. In addition to these factors, there has been intense price competition in the area of IT staffing, pressure on billing rates and pressure by customers for discounts. The Company has endeavored to increase its technical recruiting staff in order to better respond to customers’ increasing demands for both the timeliness, quality and quantities of resume submittals against job requisitions.

The Company cannot predict at this time what long-term effect these changes will have on the Company’s business and results of operations.

Vendor Management Companies

There have been changes in the industry which have affected the Company’s operating results. Many customers have retained third parties to provide vendor management services, and in excess of 29% of the Company’s revenue is derived through vendor management companies. The third party is then responsible for retaining companies to provide temporary IT personnel. This results in the Company contracting with such third parties and not directly with the ultimate customer. This change weakens the Company’s relationship with its customer, which makes it more difficult for the Company to maintain and expand its business with its existing customers. It also reduces the Company’s profit margins.

In addition, the agreements with the vendor management companies are frequently structured as subcontracting agreements, with the vendor management company entering into a services agreement directly with the end customers. As a result, in the event of a bankruptcy of a vendor management company, the Company’s ability to collect its outstanding receivables and continue to provide services could be adversely affected.

Effect of Current Economic Uncertainties and Limited Growth in Company’s Business

Demand for the Company’s IT staffing services has been and is significantly affected by the general economic environment. During periods of slowing economic activity, customers may reduce their IT projects and their demand for outside consultants. Therefore, any significant economic downturn could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations. As a result of the broad based economic downturn that began in 2008, the Company experienced a decrease in the number of consultants on billing with customers from which it took years to recover. Customer spending during the 2018 fiscal year appears to have decreased in certain areas, particularly among foreign based financial services customers. The Company expects that economic conditions will continue to affect the number of consultants on billing with customers and the Company’s profitability. In addition to the impact of the economic uncertainties, the Company has not been successful in expanding its customer base beyond its core customers. There is no assurance that the Company will achieve growth in its revenue.

Effect of Increases in Payroll-related Costs

The Company is required to pay a number of federal, state and local payroll and related costs, including unemployment insurance, workers’ compensation insurance, employer’s portion of Social Security and Medicare taxes, among others, for our employees, including those placed with customers. Significant increases in the effective rates of any payroll-related costs would likely have a material adverse effect on the Company. Recently, many of the states in which the Company conducts business have significantly increased their state unemployment tax rates in an effort to increase funding for unemployment benefits. Costs have continued to increase as a result of health care reforms and the mandate to provide health insurance to employees under the Affordable Care Act which went into effect January 1, 2015. Additionally, the New York City Council approved a measure which went into effect in April 2014 requiring the Company to provide five paid sick days per year. Several municipalities, such as Newark and Jersey City, New Jersey, have enacted similar statutes. The State of New Jersey will be adding a similar paid sick time law effective in October 2018. The Company has not been able to sufficiently increase the fees charged to its customers to cover these mandated cost increases. There are also proposals on the federal and state levels to phase in paid or partially paid family leave. It is too early to determine how this will affect the Company’s profitability. New York State passed a paid family leave law effective January 1, 2018 that is not expected to increase employer costs.

Page 5

Effect of Offshore Outsourcing

The current trend of companies moving technology jobs and projects offshore has caused and could continue to cause revenue to decline. In the past few years, more companies are using or are considering using low cost offshore outsourcing centers, particularly in India and other East Asian countries, to perform technology related work and projects. This trend has contributed to the decline in domestic IT staffing revenue for the industry. There can be no assurance that this trend will not continue to adversely impact the Company’s IT staffing revenue.

Effect of Immigration Restrictions

The Company obtains many of its technical personnel by subcontracting with companies that utilize foreign nationals entering the U.S. on work visas, primarily under the H-1B visa classification. The Company also sponsors foreign nationals on H-1B visas on a limited basis. The H-1B visa classification enables U.S. employers to hire qualified foreign nationals in positions that require an education at least equal to a bachelor’s degree. U.S. Immigration laws and regulations are subject to legislative and administrative changes, as well as changes in the application of standards and enforcement. Recent changes in enforcement have reduced the ability of graduates to work under the “Optional Practical Training” status and prevents spouses of H-1B holders from working under the H-4 status. These and future restrictions on the availability of work visas could restrain the Company’s ability to acquire the skilled professionals needed to meet our customers’ requirements, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. The scope and impact of these changes on the staffing industry and the Company remain unclear, however a narrow interpretation and vigorous enforcement of existing laws and regulations could adversely affect the ability of entities with which the Company subcontracts to utilize foreign nationals and/or renew existing foreign national consultants on assignment. There can be no assurance that the Company or its subcontractors will be able to keep or replace all foreign nationals currently on assignment, or continue to acquire foreign national talent at the same rates as in the past.

Fluctuations in Quarterly Operating Results

The Company’s revenue and operating results are subject to significant variations from quarter-to-quarter. Revenue is subject to fluctuation based upon a number of factors, including the timing and number of client projects commenced and completed during the quarter, delays incurred in connection with projects, the growth rate of the market for contract computer programming services and general economic conditions. Unanticipated termination of a project or the decision by a client not to proceed to the next stage of a project anticipated by the Company could result in decreased revenue and lower utilization rates which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition. Compensation levels can be impacted by a variety of factors, including competition for highly skilled employees and inflation.

The Company’s operating results also fluctuate due to seasonality. Typically, our billable hours, which directly affect our revenue and profitability, decrease in our third fiscal quarter. The holiday season and winter weather cause the number of billable work days for consultants on billing with customers to decrease. Additionally, at the beginning of the calendar year, which also falls within our third fiscal quarter, payroll taxes are at their highest. This results in our lowest gross margins of the year. The Company’s operating results are also subject to fluctuation as a result of other factors.

Competition

The technical staffing industry is highly competitive and fragmented and has low barriers to entry. The Company competes for potential customers with providers of outsourcing services, systems integrators, computer systems consultants, other providers of technical staffing services and, to a lesser extent, temporary personnel agencies. The Company competes for technical personnel with other providers of technical staffing services, systems integrators, providers of outsourcing services, computer systems consultants, customers and temporary personnel agencies. Many of the Company’s competitors are significantly larger and have greater financial resources than the Company. The Company believes that the principal competitive factors in obtaining and retaining customers are accurate assessment of customers’ requirements, timely assignment of technical employees with appropriate skills and the price of services. The principal competitive factors in attracting qualified technical personnel are compensation, availability, quality and variety of projects and schedule flexibility. The Company believes that many of the technical personnel included in its database may also be pursuing other employment opportunities. Therefore, the Company believes that its responsiveness to the needs of technical personnel is an important factor in the Company’s ability to fill projects. Although the Company believes it competes favorably with respect to these factors, it expects competition to increase, and there can be no assurance that the Company will remain competitive.

Potential for Contract and Other Liability

The personnel provided by the Company to customers provide services involving key aspects of its customers’ software applications. A failure in providing these services could result in a claim for substantial damages against the Company, regardless of the Company’s responsibility for such failure. The Company attempts to limit, contractually, its liability for damages arising from negligence or omissions in rendering services, but it is not always successful in negotiating such limits. Furthermore, due to increased competition and the requirements of vendor management companies, the Company may be required to accept less favorable terms regarding limitations on liability, including assuming obligations to indemnify customers for damages sustained in connection with the provision of our services. There can be no assurance our contracts will include the desired limitations of liability or that the limitations of liability set forth in our contracts would be enforceable or would otherwise protect the Company from liability for damages.

The Company’s business involves assigning personnel to the workplace of the client, typically under the client’s supervision. Although the Company has little control over the client’s workplace, the Company may be exposed to claims of discrimination and harassment and other similar claims as a result of inappropriate actions allegedly taken against the Company’s personnel by customers. As an employer, the Company is also exposed to other possible employment-related claims. The Company is exposed to liability with respect to actions taken by its technical personnel while on a project, such as damages caused by technical personnel errors, misuse of client proprietary information or theft of client property. To reduce these exposures, the Company maintains insurance policies and a fidelity bond covering general liability, worker’s compensation claims, errors and omissions and employee theft. In certain instances, the Company indemnifies its customers for these exposures. Certain of these costs and liabilities are not covered by insurance. There can be no assurance that insurance coverage will continue to be available and at its current price or that it will be adequate to, or will, cover any such liability.

Data Security

Our ability to protect client, employee, and Company data and information is critical to our reputation and the success of our business. Our clients and employees expect that their confidential, personal and private information will be secure in our possession. Attacks against security systems have become increasingly sophisticated along with developments in technology, and such attacks have become more prevalent. Consequently, the regulatory environment surrounding cybersecurity and privacy has become more and more demanding and has resulted in new requirements and increasingly demanding standards for protection of information. As a result, the Company may incur increased expenses associated with adequately protecting confidential client, employee, and Company data and complying with applicable regulatory requirements. There can be no assurance that we will be able to prevent unauthorized third parties from breaching our systems and gaining unauthorized access to confidential client, employee, and Company data even if our cybersecurity measures are compliant with regulatory requirements and standards. Unauthorized third party access to confidential client, employee, and Company data stored in our system whether as a result of a third party system breach, systems failure or employee negligence, fraud or misappropriation, could damage our reputation and cause us to lose customers, and could subject us to monetary damages, fines and/or criminal prosecution. Furthermore, unauthorized third party access to or through our information systems or those we develop for our customers, whether by our employees or third parties, could result in system disruptions, negative publicity, legal liability, monetary damages, and damage to our reputation.

Intellectual Property Rights

The Company relies primarily upon a combination of trade secret, nondisclosure and other contractual agreements to protect its proprietary rights. The Company generally enters into confidentiality agreements with its employees, consultants, customers and potential customers and limits access to and distribution of its proprietary information. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by the Company in this regard will be adequate to deter misappropriation of its proprietary information or that the Company will be able to detect unauthorized use and take appropriate steps to enforce its intellectual property rights.

Voting Power of Major Stockholders

Through an amendment to filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on Schedule 13D by Joseph F. Hughes and Winifred M. Hughes, the Company has been informed that on July 20, 2018, Zeff Capital, LP, QAR Industries, Inc. and Fintech Consulting LLC entered an agreement to purchase 819,491 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Shares”) which were held by Joseph F. Hughes and Winifred M. Hughes. Joseph F. Hughes is the former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Shares were sold in a privately negotiated transaction for a purchase price of $6.25 per share, or $5,121,819 in the aggregate, and the Shares collectively represent 41.8% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock. It had also been disclosed that Zeff Capital, LP owned 77,615 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, which represented approximately 4.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock. Each of the purchasers of the Shares has significant voting power on all matters subject to a vote of the Company’s stockholders.

Page 7

Prior to the sale of the Shares by Joseph F. Hughes and Winifred M. Hughes to Zeff Capital, LP, QAR Industries, Inc. and Fintech Consulting LLC described above, the Company had received a letter on June 25, 2018 from James Hughes on behalf of Joseph F. Hughes and Winifred M. Hughes, in which Joseph F. Hughes and Winifred M. Hughes requested that the Board pursue a sale of the Company. On July 9, 2018, by resolution, the Board established a Special Committee of the Board to review this request, and to consider and evaluate other strategic alternatives available to the Company in the context of that review, including (a) potential opportunities for a sale of the Company by way of merger, consolidation, sale of equity securities (including the Company’s outstanding Common Stock), sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or other strategic transactions; (b) recapitalization of the Company; (c) the sale or exchange of the shares of Common Stock held (at that time) by Mr. Hughes and Mrs. Hughes in a transaction involving the Company; or (d) remaining independent and continuing to execute the Company’s business plans on a standalone basis, and to review, consider and evaluate, for purposes of advising the full Board, whether any of the potential strategic alternatives is in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders. The Special Committee has remained in place following the acquisition of the Shares by Zeff Capital, LP, QAR Industries, Inc. and Fintech Consulting LLC from Joseph F. Hughes and Winifred M. Hughes described above.

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions May Inhibit a Change of Control

In addition to the significant ownership of Common Stock discussed above under the caption “Voting Power of Major Stockholders,” certain provisions of the Company’s charter and by-laws may have the effect of discouraging a third party from making an acquisition proposal for the Company and may thereby inhibit a change in control of the Company under circumstances that could give the holders of Common Stock the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market prices. Such provisions include a classified Board of Directors and advance notice requirements for nomination of directors and certain stockholder proposals set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and by-laws.

New Classes and Series of Stock

The Company’s charter authorizes the Board of Directors to create new classes and series of preferred stock and to establish the preferences and rights of any such classes and series without further action of the stockholders. The issuance of additional classes and series of capital stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company.

The Company’s stock price could be extremely volatile and, as a result, investors may not be able to resell their shares at or above the price they paid for them.

Among the factors that could affect the Company’s stock price are:

-limited float and a low average daily trading volume;
-industry trends and the performance of the Company’s customers;
-fluctuations in the Company’s results of operations;
-litigation; and
-general market conditions.

The stock market has, and may in the future, experience extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of the Company’s Common Stock.

Revenue

Revenue consists primarily of revenue from computer programming consulting services. RevenueForm 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2018 increased $2,417,000 or 3.9% from fiscal 2017. The increase in revenue resulted primarily from an increase in billing rates and an increase in2020, which was filed with the average number of consultantsSEC on billing with customers. The overall average number of consultants on billing with customers increased slightly from 379 for the fiscal ended May 31, 2017 to 383 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2018, while the average number of computer programming consultants also increased from 328 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017 to 332 in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2018. The 383 consultants on billing for the current period include 51 administrative (non-IT) workers that the Company placed with two large customers at the customers’ requests at billing rates 69.3% lower than those charged for computer programming consultants. The Company also placed an average of 51 administrative (non-IT) workers in the prior fiscal year at billing rates 67.6% lower than those charged for computer programming consultants. The Company charges lower daily billing rates for administrative (non-IT) workers, but also pays lower rates to the administrative (non-IT) workers.August 17, 2020 (the “Original Filing”).

 

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2018 increased $2,282,000 or 4.4% to $54,609,000 from $52,327,000 in the prior fiscal year. The increase in cost of sales resulted primarily from an increase in consultants pay rates and benefits. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue increased from 83.6% in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017 to 84.0% in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2018. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to lower gross margins on the placement of administrative (non-IT) workers due to a shift in the business mix between the two non-IT customers towards the customer with lower markup limits.

Page 10

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 $212,000 or 2.2% from $9,684,000 in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017 to $9,472,000 in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2018. The decrease in these expenses resulted primarily from the retirement of the former Chairman offset by an increase in amounts paid for offshore recruiting services to support the hiring of both contract IT and administrative (non-IT) workers. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenue, decreased from 15.5% in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017 to 14.6% in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2018 as a result of the reduction in these expenses.

Other Income

Other income for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2018 resulted primarily from interest and dividend income of $12,000 and a mark to market gain of approximately $15,000 on the Company’s marketable equity securities. Other income for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017 resulted primarily from interest and dividend income of $11,000 and a mark to market gain of approximately $4,000 on the Company’s marketable equity securities.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rates were 40.7% for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2018 and 45.6% for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017. The rate for fiscal 2018This Amendment is impacted by the effects of the new lower federal corporate tax rates effective January 1, 2018. The current tax provision for fiscal 2018 includes a blended federal statutory rate of 28.6%. However, this lower rate is offset, to an extent, by the devaluation of the Company’s deferred tax asset. The benefit of the deferred tax asset will be limited to 21% for federal income tax purposes in fiscal years going forward.

Net Income Attributable to TSR, Inc.

Net income attributable to TSR, Inc. increased $218,000 from $268,000 in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017 to net income of $486,000 in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2018. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as well as the increase in gross profit generated by the revenue increase.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Changes in Financial Condition

The Company expects that its available cash, certificates of deposit and marketable securities will be sufficient to provide the Company with adequate resources to meet its liquidity requirements for the 12 month period following the issuance of these financial statements. The Company does not maintain a line of credit facility with any financial institution.

At May 31, 2018, the Company had working capital (total current assets in excess of total current liabilities) of $8,113,000 including cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit and marketable securities of $5,861,000 as compared to working capital of $7,689,000 including cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit and marketable securities of $6,745,000 at May 31, 2017.

Net cash flow of $1,131,000 was provided by operations during fiscal 2018 as compared to $750,000 of net cash flow provided by operations in fiscal 2017. The cash provided by operations for fiscal 2018 primarily resulted from consolidated net income of $556,000 and an increase in accounts and other payables and accrued and other liabilities of $410,000. The cash provided by operations for fiscal 2017 primarily resulted from consolidated net income of $314,000, a decrease in accounts receivable of $379,000 and an increase in accounts and other payables and accrued and other liabilities of $125,000, offset, to some extent, by an increase in prepaid expenses of $77,000 and an increase in prepaid and recoverable income taxes of $95,000.

Net cash provided by investing activities amounted to $478,000 for fiscal 2018, compared to $523,000 in net cash provided by investing activities in fiscal 2017. The cash provided by investing activities in both 2018 and 2017 primarily resulted from maturing certificates of deposit, a portion of which were not rolled over.

Net cash used in financing activities of $2,009,000 during the fiscal years ended May 31, 2018 resulted primarily from the payment of a cash dividend of $1,962,000 and a distribution to the holder of the noncontrolling interest in the Company’s subsidiary, Logixtech Solutions, LLC of $47,000. The distribution to the noncontrolling interest in fiscal 2017 was $64,000.

The Company’s capital resource commitments at May 31, 2018 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 liquidity requirements during fiscal 2018.

Impact of New Accounting Standards

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, 2019. The Company expects the impact of this update, if any, to be immaterial 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 periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods and should be applied prospectively with early adoption permitted at the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities have been classified as noncurrent.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” The amendments in this update require all equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income. The amendments in this update also require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. In addition, the amendments in this update eliminate the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities and the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet for public business entities. This update is effective for the Company in the fiscal year ending May 31, 2019. The Company expects the impact of this update, if any, to be immaterial on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” This update includes a lease accounting model that recognizes two types of leases – finance leases and operating leases. The standard requires that a lessee recognize on the balance sheet assets and liabilities relating to leases with terms of more than 12 months. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. This update is effective for the Company in the fiscal year ending May 31, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of this update on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Principal versus Agent Consideration (Topic 606).” This update contains guidance on principal versus agent assessments when a third party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer. It specifies that an entity is a principal, and thus records revenue on a gross basis, if it controls a good or service before transferring the good or service to the customer. An entity is an agent, and thus records revenue on a net basis, if it arranges for a good or service to be provided by another entity. This update is effective for the Company in the fiscal year ending May 31, 2019. The Company expects the impact of this update, if any, to be immaterial on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, “Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (Topic 606).” This update provides certain clarifications to reduce potential diversity and to simplify the standard. The amendments in ASU 2016-12 clarify the following key areas: assessing collectibilty; presenting sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from customers; noncash consideration; contract modifications at transition; completed contracts at transition; and disclosing the accounting change in the period of adoption. This update is effective for the Company in the fiscal year ending May 31, 2019. The Company expects the impact of this update, if any, to be immaterial on its consolidated financial statements.

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 its consolidated financial statements, contained elsewhere in this report. The Company believes that the following accounting policies require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments:

Estimating Allowances for Doubtful Accounts Receivable

We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current creditworthiness, as determined by our review of their current credit information. We continuously monitor collections and payments from our customers and maintain a provision for estimated credit losses based on our historical experience, customer types, creditworthiness, economic trends and any specific customer collection issues that we have identified. While such credit losses have historically been within our expectations and the provisions established, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that we have in the past. A significant change in the liquidity or financial position of any of our significant customers, or in their willingness to pay, could have a material adverse effect on the collectibility of our accounts receivable and our future operating results.

Valuation of Marketable Securities

The Company classifies its marketable securities at acquisition as either (i) held-to-maturity, (ii) trading or (iii) available-for-sale. Based upon the Company’s intent and ability to hold its certificates of deposit to maturity (which maturities range up to 12 months), 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 price, which is Level 1 input, as established by the fair value hierarchy. The related unrealized gains and losses are included in earnings.

Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets

We regularly evaluate our ability to recover the reported amount of our deferred income tax assets considering several factors, including our estimate of the likelihood of the Company generating sufficient taxable income in future years during the period over which temporary differences reverse. Presently, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that it will realize the benefits of its deferred tax assets based primarily on the Company’s history of and projections for taxable income in the future. In the event that actual results differ from our estimates or we adjust these estimates in future periods, we may need to establish a valuation allowance against a portion or all of our deferred tax assets, which could materially impact our financial position or results of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of TSR, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TSR, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of May 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of income, equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of May 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but notbeing filed for the purpose of expressing an opinionproviding the information required by Items 10 through 14 of Part III of Form 10-K. This information was previously omitted from the Original Filing in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, which permits the effectivenessabove-referenced Items to be incorporated in the Annual Report on Form 10-K by reference from a definitive proxy statement, if such definitive proxy statement is filed no later than 120 days after the last day of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining,fiscal year on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

May 31, 2018 and 2017

(1)Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a)Business, Nature of Operations and Customer Concentrations

TSR, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) are primarily engaged in providing contract computer programming services to commercial customers located primarily in the Metropolitan New York area. The Company provides its customers with technical computer personnel to supplement their in-house information technology (“IT”) capabilities. In addition, beginning in fiscal 2017, the Company has provided and continues to provide administrative (non-IT) workers on a contract basis to two of its existing customers. In fiscal 2018, three customers each accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenue, constituting a combined 48.7%. The largest of these constituted 20.7% of consolidated revenue. In fiscal 2017, three customers each accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenue, constituting a combined 44.9%. The largest of these constituted 19.4% of consolidated revenue. The accounts receivable balances associated with the Company’s largest customers were $3,692,000 for three customers at May 31, 2018 and $3,340,000 for three customers at May 31, 2017. The Company operates in one business segment, contract staffing services.

(b)Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TSR, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(c)Revenue Recognition

The Company’s contract computer programming and administrative staffing 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 completion of the related services and credit balances from overpayments.

Reimbursements received by the Company for out-of-pocket expenses are characterized as revenue.

(d)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 May 31, 2018 and 2017:

   2018  2017 
 Cash in banks $4,723,700  $4,634,245 
 Money market funds  599,737   840,731 
 Certificates of deposit

May 31, 2018 and 2017

(e)Certificates of Deposit and 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 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 May 31, 2018 and 2017 using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2), and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

 May 31, 2018 Level 1  Level 2  Level 3  Total 
              
 Certificates of Deposit $-  $493,000  $-  $493,000

TSR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued

May 31, 2018 and 2017

Based upon the Company’s intent and ability to hold its certificates of deposit to maturity (which maturities range up to 12 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 May 31, 2018 and 2017 are summarized as follows:

 May 31, 2018 Amortized

   $1,008,866  $12,022  $-  $1,020,888 

The Company’s investments in marketable securities consist primarily of investments in certificates of deposit and equity securities. 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.

(f)Accounts Receivable and Credit Policies

The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by a valuation allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. In addition to reviewing delinquent accounts receivable, management considers many factors in estimating its general allowance, including historical data, experience, customer types, creditworthiness and economic trends. From time-to-time, management may adjust its assumptions for anticipated changes in any of those or other factors expected to affect collectability.

(g)Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization of equipment and leasehold improvements has been computed using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:

Equipment3 years
Furniture and fixtures3 years
Automobiles3 years
Leasehold improvementsLesser of lease term or useful life

TSR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued

May 31, 2018 and 2017

(h)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 the fiscal years ended May 31, 2018 or 2017.

(i)Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities at enacted rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. The effect of enacted tax law or rate changes is reflected in income in the period of enactment.

(j)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 consolidated financial statements approximate fair value because of the short-term maturities of these instruments.

(k)Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, provisions for doubtful accounts receivable and assessments of the recoverability of the Company’s deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(l)Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected cash flows undiscounted and without interest, is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.

(m)Impact of New Accounting Standards

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, 2019. The Company expects the impact of the update, if any, to be immaterial on its consolidated financial statements.2020.

 

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 periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods and should be applied prospectively with early adoption permitted at the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities have been classified as noncurrent.

TSR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued

May 31, 2018 and 2017

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” The amendments in this update require all equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income. The amendments in this update also require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. In addition, the amendments in this update eliminate the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities and the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet for public business entities. This update is effective for the Company in the fiscal year ending May 31, 2019. The Company expects the impact of the update, if any, to be immaterial on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” This update includes a lease accounting model that recognizes two types of leases – finance leases and operating leases. The standard requires that a lessee recognize on the balance sheet assets and liabilities relating to leases with terms of more than 12 months. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. This update is effective for the Company in the fiscal year ending May 31, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of this update on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Principal versus Agent Consideration (Topic 606).” This update contains guidance on principal versus agent assessments when a third party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer. It specifies that an entity is a principal, and thus records revenue on a gross basis, if it controls a good or service before transferring the good or service to the customer. An entity is an agent, and thus records revenue on a net basis, if it arranges for a good or service to be provided by another entity. This update is effective for the Company in the fiscal year ending May 31, 2019. The Company expects the impact of the update, if any, to be immaterial on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, “Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (Topic 606).” This update provides certain clarifications to reduce potential diversity and to simplify the standard. The amendments in ASU 2016-12 clarify the following key areas: assessing collectibilty; presenting sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from customers; noncash consideration; contract modifications at transition; completed contracts at transition; and disclosing the accounting change in the period of adoption. This update is effective for the Company in the fiscal year ending May 31, 2019. The Company expects the impact of the update, if any, to be immaterial on its consolidated financial statements.

(n)Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposit, marketable securities and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash equivalents with high-credit quality financial institutions and brokerage houses. The Company has substantially all of its cash in four bank accounts. At times, such amounts may exceed federally insured limits. The Company holds its marketable securities in brokerage accounts. The Company has not experienced losses in any such accounts. The Company’s accounts receivable represent 43 accounts with open balances as of May 31, 2018. As a percentage of revenue, the three largest customers among these 43 accounts consisted of 51.1% of the net accounts receivable balance at May 31, 2018.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued

May 31, 2018 and 2017

The Company recognizes interest and penalties associated with tax matters as selling, general and administrative expenses and includes accrued interest and penalties with accrued and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company revised its estimated annual effective income tax rate to reflect a change in the federal statutory corporate income tax rate from 34% to 21%, resulting from legislation that was enacted on December 22, 2017. The rate change is administratively effective at the beginning of our fiscal year 2018, using a blended rate for the annual period. As a result, the blended statutory rate for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2018 is 28.6%.

In addition, the Company was required in the current year to recognize the change related to adjusting the deferred tax asset to reflect the new corporate tax rate. As a result, income tax expense reported for the year ended May 31, 2018 was adjusted to reflect the effects of the change in the tax law and resulting in a decrease in income tax expense of $21,000. This amount comprises a reduction of $53,000 in income tax expense for the year ended May 31, 2018 related to the lower corporate rate and a charge of $32,000 from the application of the newly enacted reduced rates to the existing net deferred tax asset balances.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company discovered it had not filed required information returns related to a foreign bank account opened by a subsidiary in fiscal 2016 with contributions totaling approximately $25,000. The Company has accrued an expense of $30,000 with a charge to selling, general and administrative expenses for potential penalties that may be assessed. The Company will monitor this reserve periodically to determine if it is more-likely–than–not that penalties will be assessed. Changes to the reserve may occur due to changes in judgment, abatement, negotiation or expiration of the statute of limitations on the returns.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefit as follows:

 Balance at June 1, 2017 $- 
 Additions based on tax positions related to current year  - 
 Additions for tax positions of prior years  30,000 
 Reductions for tax positions of prior years  - 
 Settlements  - 
 Balance at May 31, 2018 $30,000 

The Company’s federal and state income tax returns prior to fiscal year 2015 are closed.

Each of the purchasers of the Shares has significant voting power on all matters subject to a vote of the Company’s stockholders.

Prior to the sale of the Shares by Joseph F. Hughes and Winifred M. Hughes to Zeff Capital, LP, QAR Industries, Inc. and Fintech Consulting LLC described above, the Company had received a letter on June 25, 2018 from James Hughes on behalf of Joseph F. Hughes and Winifred M. Hughes, in which Joseph F. Hughes and Winifred M. Hughes requested that the Board pursue a sale of the Company. On July 9, 2018, by resolution, the Board established a Special Committee of the Board to review this request, and to consider and evaluate other strategic alternatives available to the Company in the context of that review, including (a) potential opportunities for a sale of the Company by way of merger, consolidation, sale of equity securities (including the Company’s outstanding Common Stock), sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or other strategic transactions; (b) recapitalization of the Company; (c) the sale or exchange of the shares of Common Stock held (at that time) by Mr. Hughes and Mrs. Hughes in a transaction involving the Company; or (d) remaining independent and continuing to execute the Company’s business plans on a standalone basis, and to review, consider and evaluate, for purposes of advising the full Board, whether any of the potential strategic alternatives is in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders. The Special Committee has remained in place following the acquisition of the Shares by Zeff Capital, LP, QAR Industries, Inc. and Fintech Consulting LLC from Joseph F. Hughes and Winifred M.

The Company will pay the Accrued Obligations, the Pro-Rata Bonus and the Termination Year Bonus in a single lump sum within thirty (30) days following the date of termination.

Each such advance of the bonus was to be approved by the Compensation Committee unless it is paid in accordance with a formula approved in advance for such fiscal year. In the event that following any fiscal quarter or following completion of the Company’s disclosure controlsaudited financial statements, any advance payment of the bonus previously paid with respect to any fiscal year (or portion thereof) exceeded the amount that Mr. Hughes is entitled to receive through the end of such fiscal quarter or fiscal year, Mr. Hughes was required to promptly return such excess amount to the Company.

On August 9, 2018, the Company and proceduresChristopher Hughes entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, dated and effective as of August 9, 2018 (the “Amended and Restated Hughes Employment Agreement”), that superseded the Hughes Employment Agreement.

Mr. Hughes is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus in the discretion of the Compensation Committee, which may be based upon standards established by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board. Mr. Hughes is entitled to receive advance payments of the bonus on a quarterly basis based on the amount of the bonus that would have been earned through the end of each quarter according to such standards. Such advance payments of the bonus are subject to recapture by the Company in the event that the amount paid as the advance exceeds the amount that Mr. Hughes was actually entitled to receive. Mr. Hughes is entitled to participate in any pension, profit-sharing, retirement, hospitalization, insurance, medical services or other employee benefit plan generally available to the Company’s executives, to the extent that he is eligible to participate under the terms and conditions of such plans.

The Company may terminate Mr. Hughes’ employment for any other reason upon thirty days written notice, in which event Mr. Hughes shall be entitled to receive (a) reimbursement of any unpaid approved expenses, (b) severance from the Company in an amount equal to (i) two times his base salary plus (ii) two times his bonus for the then-current fiscal year, or if that bonus amount cannot be determined, two times the amount of the bonus paid to him in the prior fiscal year, (c) continued group health insurance benefits (including both group health insurance benefits generally offered to all eligible employees of the Company and supplemental executive health insurance benefits) until the earlier of the second anniversary of termination or such time as Mr. Hughes is eligible for comparable coverage under the group health insurance plans of another employer and (d) reimbursement for the monthly cost of his car lease until the second anniversary of the termination of his employment; provided that, as a condition to his right to receive the payments and benefits in clauses (b), (c) and (d), Mr. Hughes executes, delivers and does not revoke a release of all claims against the Company and its affiliates.


The Amended and Restated Hughes Employment Agreement incorporates the terms and provisions of a Maintenance of Confidence and Non-Compete Agreement between the Company and Mr. Hughes dated as of August 9, 2018. The Maintenance of Confidence and Non-Compete Agreement sets forth Mr. Hughes’ covenants against the disclosure of confidential information, covenants against the solicitation of customers, employees and independent contractors and a covenant against competition (all in accordance with the terms set forth therein) and supersedes any prior agreements entered into by Mr. Hughes pertaining to such covenants.

The Company terminated Christopher Hughes effective February 29, 2020 for “Cause” as defined in the Amended and Restated Hughes Employment Agreement.  On March 2, 2020, the Company received a letter from Mr. Hughes, providing notice of his intent to resign for “Good Reason” as defined in the Amended and Restated Hughes Employment Agreement pursuant to which he claimed to be entitled to the “Enhanced Severance Amount” under the Amended and Restated Hughes Employment Agreement. Hughes filed a complaint against the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York in March 2020 alleging two causes of action: (1) breach of his employment contract; and (2) breach of duty of good faith and fair dealing. Plaintiff Hughes alleges that he was terminated without cause or in the alternative, that he resigned for good reason and seeks contractual severance pay in the amount of $1,000,000 and reasonable costs and attorney’s fees.  The Company denies his allegations in their entirety and filed counterclaims against him.

Item 13.Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence.

Related Party Transactions

The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving all transactions between the Company and any related party pursuant to the Audit Committee’s charter. Except as described below, the Company was not a participant in any transaction since the beginning of the 2019 fiscal year in which any related person had a direct or indirect material interest and in which the amount involved exceeded the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of the Company’s total assets at the end of each of the Company’s two prior fiscal years, and no such transactions are currently proposed.

Regina Dowd, who served as a director of the Company during fiscal 2019 until her resignation as a director on August 27, 2018, was also employed as a sales executive of the Company for which she was paid compensation in the amount of $149,000 for the 2019 fiscal year. The Company and Ms. Dowd entered into an employment agreement dated as of July 1, 2019, pursuant to which the Company employs Ms. Dowd as an Account Manager for a three-year term expiring on June 30, 2022, and on an at-will basis thereafter, for an annual base salary of $60,000 and eligibility to earn commissions pursuant to an incentive compensation/commission plan.

In connection with the settlement of a civil action brought against the Company in June 2019 by Ms. Dowd and Joseph F. Hughes, the former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company, concerning their right to indemnification by the Company for legal fees incurred by them in connection with certain lawsuits previously disclosed by the Company in its reports filed with the SEC that affect the Company, Ms. Dowd (in her capacity as a former director of the Company) and Mr. Joseph Hughes (in his capacity as the former Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company), the Company agreed to pay approximately $385,000 in legal fees incurred by them.

On August, 30, 2019, the Company entered into the Settlement Agreement with certain investors including Zeff Capital, L.P., Zeff Holding Company, LLC and Daniel Zeff, QAR Industries, Inc. and Robert Fitzgerald, and Fintech Consulting, LLC and Tajuddin Haslani (collectively, “Investor Parties”), each of whom has been a beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, with respect to the proxy contest pertaining to the election of directors at the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, which was held on October 22, 2019. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the parties agreed to forever settle and resolve any and all disputes between the parties, including without limitation disputes arising out of or relating to the following litigations:

(i) The complaint relating to alleged breaches of fiduciary duties filed on November 1, 2018 by Fintech Consulting LLC against the Company in the Delaware Court of Chancery, which was previously dismissed voluntarily;

(ii) The complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief for violations of the federal securities laws filed on December 21, 2018 by the Company against the Investor Parties in the United States District Court in the Southern District of New York;

(iii) Cross-claims relating to alleged breaches of fiduciary duties and for indemnification and contribution filed on July 26, 2019 by the Company against the Investor Parties in New York Supreme Court, Queens County; and

(iv) The complaint to compel annual meeting of stockholders filed on August 7, 2019 by Zeff Capital, L.P. against the Company in the Delaware Court of Chancery.

No party admitted any liability by entering into the Settlement Agreement.

Concurrently with the Settlement Agreement, the parties entered into a share repurchase agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”) which provided for the purchase by the Company and Christopher Hughes, the Company’s former President and Chief Executive Officer, of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by the Investor Parties (the “Repurchase”). The Settlement Agreement also contemplated that, if the Repurchase was completed, the Company would make a settlement payment to the Investor Parties at the closing of the Repurchase in an amount of approximately $1,500,000 (the “Settlement Payment”). However, the Repurchase and Settlement Payment were not completed by the deadline of December 30, 2019.


Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, (1) the Company agreed to adopt an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated By-Laws, dated April 9, 2015 (the “By-Laws Amendment”), providing that stockholders of the Company owning at least forty percent (40%) of the issued and outstanding Common Stock may request a special meeting of stockholders; (2) the Investor Parties agreed not to take any action to call or otherwise cause a special meeting of stockholders to occur prior to December 30, 2019 (unless the Company had failed to hold the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders); (3) the Company agreed to amend and restate the Company’s Rights Agreement, dated August 29, 2018 (the “Amended Rights Agreement”), to confirm that a Distribution Date (as defined in the Amended Rights Agreement) shall not occur as a result of any request by any of the Investor Parties for a special meeting; (4) the Company agreed that prior to the earlier of (A) the completion of the Repurchase and the payment of the Settlement Payment and (B) January 1, 2020, the Board of Directors shall not consist of more than seven (7) directors.

Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the two nominees for director made by Zeff Capital, L.P., Bradley M. Tirpak and H. Timothy Eriksen, were nominated and subsequently elected as directors at the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of stockholders held on October 22, 2019.

Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, inasmuch as the Repurchase was not completed and the Settlement Payment was not made by December 30, 2019, the members of the Board of Directors (other than the two directors who were nominated by Zeff Capital, L.P. and elected as directors at the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders) resigned from the Board effective 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on December 30, 2019. Immediately thereafter, the two remaining directors appointed Robert Fitzgerald to the Board of Directors.

In addition, the Settlement Agreement provides for mutual releases between the Company and each of the Investor Parties and certain of their affiliates. Each of the Investor Parties and certain of their affiliates also agreed to certain customary standstill provisions, including without limitation, with regard to certain actions in connection with the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, Extraordinary Transactions (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) with the Company, and the acquisition of any securities (or beneficial ownership thereof) of the Company, each of which expired on December 30, 2019.

The foregoing is not a complete description of the terms of the Settlement Agreement and the Share Repurchase Agreement. For a further description of the terms of the Settlement Agreement and the Share Repurchase Agreement, including copies of the Settlement Agreement and Share Repurchase Agreement, please see the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on September 3, 2019.

In addition, on April 1, 2020, the Company entered into a binding term sheet (“Term Sheet”) with Zeff Capital, L.P. (“Zeff”) pursuant to which it agreed to pay Zeff an amount of $900,000 over a period of three years in cash or cash and stock in settlement of expenses incurred by Zeff during its solicitations in 2018 and 2019 in connection with the annual meetings of the Company, the costs incurred in connection with the litigation initiated by and against the Company as well as negotiation, execution and enforcement of the Settlement Agreement. In exchange for certain mutual releases, the Term Sheet calls for a cash payment of $300,000 on June 30, 2021, a second cash payment of $300,000 on June 30, 2022 and a third payment of $300,00 also on June 30, 2022, which can be paid in cash or common stock at the Company’s option. There wasis no changeinterest due on these payments. The agreement also has protections to defer such payment dates so that the debt covenants with the Company’s lender are not breached. On August 13, 2020, the Company, Zeff, Zeff Holding Company, LLC and Daniel Zeff entered into a settlement agreement to reflect these terms. Any installment payment which is deferred as permitted above will accrue interest at the prime rate plus 3.75%, and Zeff shall thereby have the option to convert such deferred amounts (plus accrued interest if any) into shares of the Company’s stock. The Company accrued $818,000, the estimated present value of these payments using an effective interest rate of 5%, in the quarter ended February 29, 2020, as the events relating to the expense occurred prior to such date.
