Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Nature of Operations
Intcomex, Inc. (“Intcomex”) is a United States-based value-added international distributor of computer information technology (“IT”) products to Latin America and the Caribbean. Intcomex distributes computer equipment, components, peripherals, software, computer systems, accessories, networking products and digital consumer electronics. Intcomex offers single source purchasing to customers by providing an in-stock selection of products from vendors, including the world’s leading IT product manufacturers.
Organization
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Intcomex and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as the “Company”) including the accounts of Intcomex Holdings, LLC (parent company of Software Brokers of America, Inc. (“SBA”) and IXLA Holdings, Ltd. (“IXLA”)), Intcomex Holdings SPC-1, LLC (parent company of Centel, S.A. de C.V. (“Centel”), a Mexican company), SBA and IXLA. IXLA is the holding company of 14 separate subsidiaries located in Central America, South America, and the Caribbean.
Use of Accounting Estimates
We prepare our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The principles require us to make judgments, 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, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses, cash flows and the related footnote disclosures during the period. On an on-going basis, we review and evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, those that relate to the realizable value of accounts receivable, inventories, identifiable intangible assets, goodwill and other long-lived assets, income taxes and contingencies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
These interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include certain information and disclosures normally required for comprehensive annual consolidated financial statements. Therefore, the condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2007, included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2008 (“Annual Report”). The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008, may not be indicative of the results of operations that can be expected for the full year.
In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all material adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2008, and its results of operations and its statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, as applicable. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements reflect the Company as the reporting entity for all periods presented.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances in order to conform to the current period’s presentation.
Computation of Net Income per Share
The Company reports both basic net income per share and diluted net income per share. Basic net income per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares primarily reflect the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised using the treasury stock method.

(Unaudited)
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128,Earnings per Share requires that employee equity share options, non-vested shares, and similar equity instruments granted by the Company be treated as potential common shares outstanding in computing diluted net income per share. Diluted shares outstanding include the dilutive effect of in-the-money options which is calculated based on the average share price for each fiscal period using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the amount the employee must pay for exercising stock options, the amount of compensation cost for future service that the Company has not yet recognized, and the amount of tax benefits that would be recorded in additional paid in capital when the award becomes deductible are assumed to be used to repurchase shares.
The Company has two classes of common stock: voting and Class B, non-voting (collectively referred to herein as the “Common Stock”). Common stock, voting and Class B common stock, non-voting have substantially identical rights with respect to any dividends or distributions of cash or property declared on shares of common stock and rank equally as to the right to receive proceeds on liquidation or dissolution of the Company after the payment of the Company’s indebtedness. The Company uses the two-class method for calculating net income per share. Basic net income per share and diluted net income per share of Common Stock are the same.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per weighted average share of Common Stock:

SFAS No. 130,Reporting Comprehensive Income establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Comprehensive income is the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources, comprised of net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Comprehensive income consisted of the following for the periods presented:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements(“SFAS No. 157”) establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivables, notes and other receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other payables approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. The carrying amounts of outstanding short and long-term debt approximate fair value because interest rates over the term of these financial instruments approximate current market interest rates available to the Company.
There were no changes to our valuation methodology for assets and liabilities measured at fair value during the three months ended March 31, 2008, from our initial adoption of SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008. There are no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant observable or unobservable inputs as defined in SFAS No. 157 as of March 31, 2008. The Company will measure material non-financial assets and liabilities for which to consider for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of March 31, 2009.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to our audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report. These accounting policies have not significantly changed.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007),Business Combinations(“SFAS No. 141R”). SFAS No. 141R supersedes SFAS No. 141,Business Combinations, and establishes principles and requirements as to how an acquiring entity in a business combination recognizes and measures the identifiable assets and goodwill acquired, liabilities assumed, any controlling interest or gain from a bargain purchase in its financial statements. SFAS No. 141R requires the acquirer to record contingent consideration at the estimated fair value at the time of purchase and establishes principles for treating subsequent changes in such estimates which could affect earnings in those periods. This statement also calls for additional disclosure to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R is to be applied prospectively to business combinations beginning January 4, 2009 (the first day of fiscal 2009). The Company will evaluate the effect SFAS No. 141R will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 also clarifies that changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest and requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS No. 160 includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Company beginning January 4, 2009 (the first day of fiscal 2009), requiring retroactive presentation and disclosure of existing minority interests. The Company is currently evaluating the effect SFAS No. 160 will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2007, the FASB published FASB Staff Position No. FIN 48-1,Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48-1”). FIN 48-1 is an amendment to FIN 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). FIN 48-1 clarifies how an enterprise should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. FIN 48-1 is effective upon the initial adoption of FIN 48, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of measurement and recognition in accounting for income taxes and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position that an entity takes or expects to take in a tax return. This interpretation requires companies to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any part of the benefit can be recorded in the financial statements. The Company adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007, reviewed its tax positions taken in accordance with FIN 48 and assessed the

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in 000’s, except per share data)
(Unaudited)
effect of FIN 48 on the consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The Company assesses its income tax positions and records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based on management’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available as of the reporting date. For those tax positions where it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, the Company recognized the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where it is not more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit has been recognized in the Company’s financial statements. The Company files tax returns in the U.S., the state of Florida and in various foreign jurisdictions. The 2004 and 2005 tax returns were examined by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and concluded with no change to the returns. Tax year 2006 remains open for examination by the IRS. Tax years 2006, 2005 and 2004 remain open for examination by the Florida Department of Revenue. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company did not recognize any adjustments, accrued interest expense or penalties for unrecognized income tax benefits as of the adoption date and subsequent to the adoption date through March 31, 2008. The Company does not expect any material changes to the unrecognized tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2008.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 expands the use of fair value accounting but does not affect existing standards which require assets or liabilities to be carried at fair value. The objective of SFAS No. 159 is to improve financial reporting by providing companies with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. Under SFAS No. 159, a company may elect to use fair value to measure eligible items at specified election dates and report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Eligible items include, but are not limited to, accounts and loans receivable, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities, equity method investments, accounts payable, guarantees, issued debt and firm commitments. If elected, SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2008. The Company has no eligible items under SFAS No. 159 and therefore SFAS No. 159 has no impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 157-1,Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13 (“FSP 157-1”) and FSP 157-2,“Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP 157-2”). FSP 157-1 amends SFAS No. 157 to remove certain leasing transactions from its scope. FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all non-financial assets and liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until the beginning of the first quarter of the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 as of January 1, 2008, for financial instruments and items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Although the adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not materially impact our consolidated results of operations and financial condition, the Company is required to provide additional disclosures in its consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 157 responds to investors’ requests for expanded information about the extent to which a company measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, and does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS No. 157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.

The Company has lines of credit, short-term overdraft and credit facilities with various financial institutions in the country in which the Company’s individual business resides. Many of our in-country operations also have limited credit facilities. These credit facilities fall into three categories: asset-based financing facilities, letter of credit and performance bond facilities, and unsecured revolving credit facilities and lines of credit. The lines of credit are available sources of short-term liquidity for the Company.
As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the total amounts available under the credit facilities were $18,909 and $19,495, respectively. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the total amounts outstanding under the credit facilities were $31,240 and $26,366, respectively. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the outstanding balances of the Miami credit facility were $22,029 and $20,518, respectively. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the outstanding balances of the in-country credit facilities were $9,211 and $5,848, respectively. The increase in the outstanding balance as of March 31, 2008, is primarily attributed to the increased borrowing by our subsidiaries to meet local working capital requirements, particularly additional borrowings of $2,000 related to our operations in Guatemala, $658 related to our operations in Chile, and $670 related to our operations in Panama.
SBA – Miami
In August 2005, SBA entered into a $25,000 revolving credit facility with Comerica Bank. Borrowings against the facility bear interest at the U.S. prime lending rate less 0.75% (4.50% at March 31, 2008) or Eurodollar rate plus 1.9% and are secured on a first priority basis with all the assets of SBA. Interest is due monthly and the facility has a maturity date of August 25, 2008. Amounts borrowed under the revolver may be repaid and re-borrowed at anytime during the term of the agreement with the bank. Borrowing capacity is established monthly based on certain parameters established by the agreement. Advances under the line of credit are provided based on 85.0% of eligible domestic accounts receivables and 67.5% of eligible foreign accounts receivable plus 60.0% of eligible domestic inventory less any credit facility reserves. The credit facility contains certain financial and non-financial covenants, including but not limited to, maintenance of a minimum level of tangible effective net worth, as defined and annual limitations on capital expenditures.
In September 2006, the Company was in default under its credit agreement with Comerica Bank due to the payments made by SBA to the Company on the intercompany loan that was restricted under the subordination agreement to the credit agreement. In November 2006, the Company obtained certain waivers and amendments to the credit agreement and the subordination agreement from Comerica Bank. The amendments allowed for SBA to make these payments to the Company for the remaining $22,608, and required the Company to maintain a minimum level of tangible effective net worth of at least $37,000 (which minimum level declined from the end of the fourth fiscal quarter of 2006 to the end of the fourth fiscal quarter of 2007 to $25,000 and remains at $25,000 thereafter).
In May 2007, SBA received a waiver from Comerica Bank on the covenant default relating to its capital expenditures and entered into an amendment to the revolving credit facility agreement to increase the borrowing base of the facility from $25,000 to $27,500 and to raise the 2007 capital expenditure limit from $1,000 to $2,500.

In September 2007, SBA entered into another amendment the revolving credit facility agreement to increase the 2007 capital expenditures limit from $2,500 to $3,000.

On March 28, 2008, SBA obtained from Comerica Bank an amendment to its credit agreement for the definition of the tangible effective net worth. In addition, SBA obtained a waiver to its credit agreement for the senior debt to tangible effective net worth ratio as of December 31, 2007, and an amendment for the definition of the tangible effective net worth and to increase the senior debt to tangible effective net worth ratio to not more than 3.5 to 1.0, effective for the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, and not more than 3.0 to 1.0 thereafter.

On May 14, 2008, SBA obtained a waiver to its credit agreement for the minimum tangible effective net worth and the senior debt to tangible effective net worth ratio as of March 31, 2008. SBA also obtained an amendment to its credit agreement decreasing the minimum effective net worth of $25,000 to $20,000, effective for the quarters ended September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2009. SBA is required to maintain a minimum tangible effective net worth of $25,000 for the quarters ended June 30, 2008, December 31, 2008, June 30, 2009, and the end of each quarter thereafter. The amendment requires SBA’s senior debt to tangible effective net worth ratio to not more than 5.0 to 1.0, effective as of December 31, 2008 and December 31 of each year thereafter. The amendment increases SBA’s senior debt to tangible effective net worth ratio to not more than 6.0 to 1.0, effective as of June 30, 2008, September 30, 2008, March 31, 2009, and June 30, September 30 and March 31 of each year thereafter.

SBA recorded tax goodwill of approximately $9,800 in July 1998, which is being amortized for tax purposes over 15 years. As of March 31, 2008, the remaining balance of the tax goodwill was $3,445. At December 31, 2004, there was a $600 valuation allowance against such deferred tax asset that was reversed in 2005, as management determined that future projected taxable income will be sufficient to realize the deferred tax asset. SBA established a deferred tax asset of $262 for foreign withholding taxes paid in El Salvador during 2005. Management established a $262 valuation allowance against this asset pending further tax planning efforts to realize its full benefit.
Intcomex Colombia has a $274 deferred tax asset related to a net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forward. Management established a $250 valuation allowance against this deferred tax asset pending Intcomex Colombia’s further growth in taxable income. Colombia allows for an eight year carry forward on NOLs, which expires in 2013.
The Company has U.S. and state of Florida NOLs resulting in a deferred tax asset of $6,408, which begin to expire in 2026. No valuation allowance has been recorded against this NOL, as management believes it will be fully realized.
The undistributed earnings in foreign subsidiaries are permanently invested abroad and will not be repatriated to the U.S. in the foreseeable future. In accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 23,Accounting for Income Taxes–Special Areas,because those earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested, no U.S. federal or state deferred income taxes have been provided thereon. Upon distribution of those earnings, in the form of dividends or otherwise, we would be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries in which we operate. Because of the availability of U.S. foreign tax credits, it is not practicable to determine the U.S. foreign income tax liability that would be payable if such earnings were not reinvested indefinitely.

The 2004 and 2005 tax returns were examined by the IRS and concluded with no change to the returns. Tax year 2006 remains open for examination by the IRS. Tax years 2006, 2005 and 2004 remain open for examination by the Florida Department of Revenue.
Note 8. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense under the provisions of SFAS No. 123R,Share-Based Payment (revised 2004) (“SFAS No. 123R”) for the stock-based compensation plan utilizing the modified prospective method. Under SFAS No. 123R, compensation cost is recognized for any awards issued, modified, repurchased, or canceled after January 1, 2006. All stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense in earnings over the requisite service period.
In February 2008, our Board of Directors authorized the issuance of $90 of common stock, with a three year vesting period of one-third per year on the annual anniversary date, to our newest board member Mr. Henriques, as the initial equity consideration for his election to the Board of Directors, upon approval by the shareholders at the Company’s May 2008 Shareholders’ Meeting. In February 2007, our Board of Directors also authorized the issuance of $50 of common stock, with a three year vesting period of one-third per year on the annual anniversary date, to each of our board members Mr. Henriques, Mr. Madden and Ms. Miltner, as equity consideration for board membership, upon approval by the shareholders at the Company’s May 2008 Shareholders’ Meeting. In November 2007, our Board of Directors authorized the issuance at the time of an initial public offering of 32 shares of restricted stock at the initial public offering price, with a three year vesting period of one-third per year on the annual anniversary date, to each of our board members Mr. Madden and Ms. Miltner.
On February 27, 2007, options to acquire an aggregate of approximately 1,540 shares of Class B common stock, non-voting were granted under 2007 Founders’ Grant Stock Option Plan (the “Plan) to certain management employees and independent, non-employee directors. The options were granted at an exercise price of $1,077 per share, which was equal to the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant. The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $566 per share. The shares vest ratably over a three year vesting period of one-third per year on the annual anniversary date and expire 10 years from the date of grant. There were no stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2008. There were 513 options vested during the three months ended March 31, 2008. The options were not dilutive during the three months ended March 31, 2008, as the fair value of the options is below the exercise price of the options.
A summary of the option activity under the Plan as of March 31, 2008, and changes during the period ended March 31, 2008, consisted of the following:
| | | | | | | |
| | Outstanding Options (in shares) | | Weighted-Average Exercise Price per Option (in dollars) | | Exercisable Options (in shares) |
Balance at January 1, 2008 | | 1,540 | | $ | 1,077 | | — |
Granted | | — | | | — | | — |
Exercised | | — | | | — | | — |
Forfeited or expired | | — | | | — | | — |
| | | | | | | |
Balance at March 31, 2008 | | 1,540 | | $ | 1,077 | | 513 |
| | | | | | | |
The fair value for the options was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the measurement date, April 23, 2007, the date the Company received unanimous approval from shareholders for the Plan. The Black-Scholes option pricing model, a permitted valuation approach under SFAS No. 123R, was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options. This model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including expected price volatility and term. Changes in these subjective assumptions can materially affect the fair value of the estimate, and therefore, existing valuation models do not provide a precise measure of the fair value of the Company’s employee stock options. Projected data related to the expected volatility and expected life of stock options is typically based upon historical and other information. The fair value of the options was estimated at the date of grant using the following assumptions:
| | | |
Expected term | | 6 years | |
Expected volatility | | 37.00 | % |
Dividend yield | | 0.00 | % |
Risk-free investment rate | | 4.58 | % |
The expected term of the options granted under the Plan is based on the simplified method for estimating the expected life of the options, as historical data related to the expected life of the options is not available. The Company used the historical volatility of the industry sector index, as it is not practicable to estimate the expected volatility of the Company’s share price. The risk-free investment rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve of the same maturity in effect at the time of grant.

Total compensation costs related to stock-based compensation charged against income during the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $73. There were no compensation costs related to stock-based compensation charged against income during the three months ended March 31, 2007. The compensation costs are recorded in salaries, wages and benefits in the consolidated statements of operations as part of selling, general and administrative expenses. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, there was $599 and $672, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock-based compensation arrangements, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.0 years. There were no shares of common stock authorized for issuance during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. There were no compensation costs recorded related to the authorization of the issuance of shares of common stock to our Board of Directors during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.
SFAS No. 123R requires the Company to estimate forfeitures in calculating the expense relating to stock-based compensation. At the grant date, the Company estimated the number of shares expected to vest and will subsequently adjust compensation costs for the estimated rate of forfeitures on an annual basis. The Company will use historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination in determining the estimated forfeiture rate. The estimated forfeiture rate applied as of the most recent option grant date in 2007 was 0% because it was the Company’s initial grant date.
Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies and Other
Litigation
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to litigation. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of these litigations will not have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Tax Settlement
In 2007, we incurred a net pre-tax charge of approximately $3,800, (approximately $2,700 after tax), including legal and accounting fees, in operating expenses, as a result of settlements with Uruguayan regulatory authorities. On June 29, 2007, our Uruguayan subsidiary, T.G.M., S.A., reached a settlement agreement with the Uruguayan tax agency Dirección General Impositiva (“DGI”) following a tax audit for the period 2001 through 2005. During this tax audit, questions were raised by the DGI about the alleged failure of two local suppliers operating through several legal entities to pay value added taxes and other taxes in connection with the sale of certain IT products to our Uruguayan subsidiary. Our Uruguayan subsidiary cooperated fully with the audit and, based on an internal investigation, we believe our Uruguayan subsidiary has at all times complied with its tax payment obligations and properly recorded, reported and paid all taxes. At the same time, due to the possibility of significant potential fines and related legal expenses, our Uruguayan subsidiary approached the DGI seeking a resolution, and after negotiation, agreed to pay approximately UYP 53,000 or $2,200, and forfeit $500 in previously recognized tax credits in connection with the settlement agreement. Our Uruguayan subsidiary was also engaged in a parallel negotiation process with the Uruguayan customs authorities relating to the same time periods and facts, and entered into a similar settlement agreement with the customs authorities providing for the payment of approximately UYP 26,200, or $1,100. In connection with this payment, we received a credit from the customs authorities of approximately $3,000.
We believe that payment of the settlement amounts was the best course of action for both our Uruguayan subsidiary and us, in particular because Uruguayan tax law may, in certain cases, impose a joint and several financial liability on us for acts committed by third parties, such as the two suppliers described above that result in the loss of tax revenue. In addition, the settlement payments avoid the risk connected with, and the commitment of potentially significant financial and managerial resources to, potential regulatory claims.
Anthony Shalom and Michael Shalom and the other individuals (the “Pledging Noteholders”) (all of whom are affiliated with but not including Anthony Shalom and Michael Shalom) who sold shares to CVC International, our principal shareholder, in connection with the acquisition of control in our Company in 2004, entered into an indemnity agreement dated as of June 29, 2007 (the “Indemnity Agreement”). The Indemnity Agreement provided for the payment of approximately $3,000 by Anthony Shalom and Michael Shalom to the Company by August 14, 2007, in order to indemnify CVC International for the outflow of funds related to that

portion of the settlement payments and certain expenses corresponding to the tax audit period from 2002 through August 31, 2004 (i.e., the closing date under the stock purchase agreement) and certain related legal, accounting and other expenses, as required by the stock purchase agreement dated as of August 27, 2004. To secure the payment obligation, the indemnity agreement required Anthony Shalom and Michael Shalom to arrange for a pledge of the 11 3/4% Senior Notes owned by the Pledging Noteholders in the same principal amount as the indemnity payment. The pledge was executed as of June 29, 2007, in the same principal amount as the indemnity payment made prior to August 14, 2007.
As a result of a privately negotiated arm’s length transaction arranged by Anthony Shalom and Michael Shalom on August 15, 2007, the Company repurchased approximately $2,200 of the 11 3/4% Senior Notes held by the Pledging Noteholders at the same market price as $2,800 of the 11 3/4% Senior Notes we purchased in the open market at the end of business on the prior day. We delivered all $5,000 aggregate principal amount of the 11 3/4% Senior Notes purchased on such dates to the trustee, under the indenture governing the 11 3/4% Senior Notes, for cancellation in satisfaction of our mandatory sinking fund redemption that we were required to make by August 15, 2007 under the indenture.
Note 10. Additional Paid in Capital
In February 2008, our Board of Directors authorized the issuance of $90 of common stock, with a three year vesting period of one-third per year, to our newest board member Mr. Henriques, as the initial equity consideration for his election to the Board of Directors, upon approval by the shareholders at the Company’s May 2008 Shareholders’ Meeting. In February 2008, our Board of Directors also authorized the issuance of $50 of common stock, with a three year vesting period of one-third per year on the annual anniversary date, to each of our board members Mr. Henriques, Mr. Madden and Ms. Miltner, as equity consideration for board membership, upon approval by the shareholders at the Company’s May 2008 Shareholders’ Meeting.
In February 2007, the Board of Directors of our Company authorized a one-time issuance of options to acquire an aggregate of 1,540 shares of Class B common stock, non-voting under the Plan to certain of the Company’s management employees and independent, non-employee directors. The shares vest ratably over a three year vesting period of one-third per year on the annual anniversary date and expire 10 years from the date of grant. There were no options issued during the three months ended March 31, 2008. Total compensation costs related to stock-based compensation charged against income with an offsetting increase to additional paid in capital was $73 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. There were no compensation costs related to stock-based compensation charged against income during the three months ended March 31, 2007.
In June 2007, the Company recorded $3,029 of additional paid in capital and a related party receivable to record the indemnifying shareholders obligation to CVC International as required by the stock purchase agreement, for the outflow of funds in connection with the settlement reached with the Uruguayan tax agency. For a detailed discussion of the Uruguayan tax settlement, see “Part I—Financial Information, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Uruguay Tax Audit.”
In November 2007, our Board of Directors authorized the issuance at the time of an initial public offering of $32 shares of restricted stock at the initial public offering price, with a three year vesting period of one-third per year on the annual anniversary date, to each of our board members Mr. Madden and Ms. Miltner. There were no compensation costs recorded related to the authorization of the issuance of shares of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. There were no issuances of shares of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.
Note 11. Segment Information
The Company operates in a single industry segment, that being a distributor of IT products. The Company’s operating segments are based on geographic location. Geographic areas in which the Company operated during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, include sales generated from and invoiced by the Miami, Florida operations (the “Miami operations”) and sales generated from and invoiced by all of the Latin American subsidiary operations (the “in-country operations”). All in-country operations have been aggregated as one segment due to similar products and economic characteristics. The Company sells one type of product line, IT products. The Company is a distributor of IT products and does not provide any separately billable services. It is impracticable for the Company to report the revenues from external customers for the group of similar products within the product line because the general ledger used to prepare the Company’s financial statements does not track sales by product.
Inter-segment revenue primarily represents intercompany revenue between the Miami operations and the in-country operations at established prices between the related companies and are eliminated in consolidation.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”), including this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contain forward-looking statements regarding future events and our future results that are subject to the safe harbors created under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical facts are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current expectations, beliefs, estimates, forecasts, and projections and management assumptions about our Company, our future performance, our liquidity and the IT products distribution industry in which we operate. Words such as “may”, “intend”, “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe”, “target,” “goal,” “project,” “plan,” “seek,” “estimate,” “continue,” variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth and trends in our businesses, and other characterizations of future events or circumstances including but not limited to, management’s expectations for competition, revenues, margin, expenses and other operating results; capital expenditures; liquidity; capital requirements, acquisitions and exchange rate fluctuations, each of which involves numerous risks and uncertainties are forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned that these forward-looking statements are only predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict, including those identified below, under “Part II —Other Information, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2008 (“Annual Report”) and elsewhere herein. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following:
| • | | an increase in competition in the markets in which we operate or plan to operate; |
| • | | difficulties in maintaining and enhancing internal controls and management and financial reporting systems; |
| • | | adverse changes in general, regional and country-specific economic and political conditions in Latin America and the Caribbean; |
| • | | fluctuations of other currencies relative to the U.S. dollar; |
| • | | difficulties in staffing and managing our foreign operations; |
| • | | departures of our key executive officers; |
| • | | increases in credit exposure to our customers; |
| • | | adverse changes in our relationships with vendors and customers; or |
| • | | declines in our inventory values. |
This list of factors that may affect future performance and the accuracy of forward-looking statements is illustrative but not exhaustive. In addition, new risks and uncertainties may arise from time to time. Accordingly, all forward-looking statements should be evaluated with an understanding of their inherent uncertainty. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they were made. We do not undertake any obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.
Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements because of certain factors discussed below or elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and included in the Company’s Annual Report. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report and our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2008, which are included in this Quarterly Report.
Overview
We believe we are the largest pure play value-added distributor of information technology (“IT”) products focused solely on serving Latin America and the Caribbean. We distribute computer components, peripherals, software, computer systems, accessories, networking products and digital consumer electronics to more than 40,000 customers in 40 countries. We offer single source purchasing to our customers by providing an in-stock selection of more than 5,700 products from over 197 vendors, including many of the world’s leading IT product manufacturers. From our headquarters and main distribution center in Miami, Florida, we support a network of 25 sales and distribution operations in 12 Latin American and Caribbean countries and a sales office in Brazil.
Our results for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 reflect increases in revenue and gross profit from the corresponding period in 2007, as we have achieved a positive year-over-year revenue growth from our significant product lines and our customer markets. We believe this growth is attributable, in part, to the successful implementation of our sales strategies. Revenue increased by $33,682 or 13.8% and gross profit increased by $1,783 or 7.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007.
25
Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations
The following events and developments have in the past, or are expected in the future to have a significant impact on our financial condition and results of operations:
• | | Impact of price competition and vendor terms and conditions on margin. Historically, our gross profit margins have been impacted by price competition, as well as changes to vendor terms and conditions, including, but not limited to, reductions in product rebates and incentives, our ability to return inventory to manufacturers, and time periods during which vendors provide price protection. We expect these competitive pricing pressures and modifications to vendor terms and conditions to continue into the foreseeable future. We continuously refine our pricing strategy, inventory management processes and systems and manufacturer programs to attempt to mitigate the adverse impact of these competitive pressures. |
• | | Macroeconomic trends and increased penetration of IT products. Since 2003, the Latin American and Caribbean economies have benefited from relatively high levels of economic growth, which we believe have had a positive impact on overall demand for IT products. In particular, we have continued to benefit from rapid growth in PC penetration rates and Internet penetration rates. From 1996 to 2006, spending on IT products (including hardware, packaged software and services) in Latin America and the Caribbean grew an average of 5.9% per year, from $21.8 billion to $38.5 billion, and, according to IDC, is projected to grow an average of 11.5% per year from 2006 to 2010, to $59.4 billion. |
• | | Shift in revenue to in-country operations.One of our growth strategies is to expand the geographic presence of our in-country operations into areas in which we believe we can achieve higher gross margins than our Miami operations. Miami gross margins are generally lower than in-country gross margins because Miami is a more competitive market and Miami’s customers, who are primarily other Miami-based IT distributors or large IT distributors, resellers and retailers located in Latin America or the Caribbean, have larger average order quantities than customers of our in-country segment and as a result benefit from lower average prices. In-country revenue grew by an average of 26.6% annually between 2001 and 2007, as compared to growth in Miami revenue of an average of 12.6% annually over the same period. In-country revenue accounted for 70.8% and 69.3% of consolidated revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and 72.2% and 70.0% of consolidated revenue for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. This growth in our in-country operations reflects in part the growth in local market share achieved by four of our distribution centers (El Salvador, Ecuador, Costa Rica and Jamaica) that were opened in 2000, the Argentina operation opened in September 2003 and our Colombia operation opened in January 2004. Our in-country presence was further expanded by our re-acquisition of Centel in Mexico in June 2005 discussed below. |
• | | Exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency.A significant portion of our revenues from in-country operations is invoiced in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and a significant amount of our in-country operating expenses are denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars. In markets where we invoice in local currency, including Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Jamaica, Mexico, Peru and Uruguay, the appreciation of a local currency will reduce our gross profit and gross margins in U.S. dollar terms. In markets where our books and records are prepared in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the appreciation of a local currency will increase our operating expenses and decrease our operating margins in U.S. dollar terms. In our consolidated statement of operations, a foreign exchange gain of $5.5 million and foreign exchange loss of $0.4 million was included for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We generally do not engage in foreign currency hedging arrangements, and, consequently, foreign currency fluctuations may adversely affect our results of operations, including our gross margins and operating margins. |
• | | Trade Credit.All of our key vendors and many of our other vendors provide us with trade credit. Historically, trade credit has been an important source of liquidity to finance our growth. Although our overall available trade credit has increased significantly over time, from time to time the trade credit available from certain vendors has not kept pace with the growth of our business with them. When we purchase goods from these vendors, we need to increase our use of available cash or borrowings under our credit facility (in each case to the extent available) to pay the purchase price upon delivery of the products, which adversely affects our liquidity and can adversely affect our results of operations and opportunities for growth. |
• | | Increased levels of indebtedness.In connection with the investment by CVC International in our Company in August 2004 and our re-acquisition of Centel, we borrowed under our former senior secured credit facility with Wells Fargo Foothill and Morgan Stanley, which we refer to as our “former senior secured credit facility,” and issued subordinated seller notes to the sellers, which increased our leverage and our interest expense. In August 2005, we issued $120.0 million of 11 3/4% Senior Notes and used the proceeds to repay the outstanding principal balances on our former senior secured credit facility and subordinated seller notes as well as to pay a $20.0 million dividend to our stockholders. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, interest expense was $4.3 million and $4.2 million, respectively. |
26
• | | Centel re-acquisition.On June 23, 2005, we re-acquired all of the outstanding shares of our former subsidiary Centel (which we originally sold in 2001) for $14.0 million in cash, $3.0 million in Class B common shares, non-voting and $2.8 million in subordinated seller notes, representing an aggregate consideration of $19.8 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, Centel had revenues of $29.4 million, and $28.5 million, respectively, and net income of $0.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively. |
Uruguay Tax Audit
In 2007, we incurred a net pre-tax charge of $3.8 million, ($2.7 million after tax), including legal and accounting fees, in operating expenses as a result of settlements with Uruguayan regulatory authorities, as described herein.
On June 29, 2007, our Uruguayan subsidiary, T.G.M., S.A., reached a settlement agreement with the Uruguayan tax agency Dirección General Impositiva (“DGI”) following a tax audit for the period 2001 through 2005. During this tax audit, questions were raised by the DGI about the alleged failure of two local suppliers operating through several legal entities to pay value-added and other taxes in connection with the sale of certain IT products to our Uruguayan subsidiary. Our Uruguayan subsidiary cooperated fully with the audit and, based on an internal investigation, we believe our Uruguayan subsidiary has at all times complied with its tax payment obligations and properly recorded, reported and paid all taxes. At the same time, due to the possibility of significant potential fines and related legal expenses, our Uruguayan subsidiary approached the DGI seeking a resolution, and after negotiation, agreed to pay UYP 53.0 million, or approximately $2.2 million, and forfeit $0.5 million in previously recognized tax credits in connection with the settlement agreement. Our Uruguayan subsidiary was also engaged in a parallel negotiation process with the Uruguayan customs authorities relating to the same time periods and facts, and entered into a similar settlement agreement with the customs authorities providing for the payment of UYP 26.2 million, or approximately $1.1 million. In connection with this payment, we received a credit from the customs authorities of approximately $0.3 million.
We believe that payment of the settlement amounts was the best course of action for both our Uruguayan subsidiary and us, in particular because Uruguayan tax law may, in certain cases, impose a joint and several financial liability on us for acts committed by third parties, such as the two suppliers described above that result in the loss of tax revenue. In addition, the settlement payments avoid the risk connected with, and the commitment of potentially significant financial and managerial resources to, potential regulatory claims.
In connection with our internal investigation overseen by our audit committee, we examined our third-party purchasing controls and implemented additional measures including centralized corporate oversight of all purchases by local operations from non-OEM third parties and enhanced IT systems to strengthen purchasing controls, in particular in the areas of treasury, accounting and purchasing. The general manager of our Uruguayan subsidiary resigned following completion of our investigation.
Anthony Shalom and Michael Shalom and the other individuals (the “Pledging Noteholders”) (all of whom are affiliated with but not including Anthony Shalom and Michael Shalom) who sold shares to CVC International, our principal shareholder, in connection with the acquisition of control in our Company in 2004, entered into an indemnity agreement dated as of June 29, 2007 (the “Indemnity Agreement”). The Indemnity Agreement provided for the payment of approximately $3.0 million by Anthony Shalom and Michael Shalom to the Company by August 14, 2007, in order to indemnify CVC International for the outflow of funds related to that portion of the settlement payments and certain expenses corresponding to the tax audit period from 2002 through August 31, 2004 (i.e., the closing date under the stock purchase agreement) and certain related legal, accounting and other expenses, as required by the stock purchase agreement dated as of August 27, 2004. To secure the payment obligation, the indemnity agreement required Anthony Shalom and Michael Shalom to arrange for a pledge of the 11 3/4% Senior Notes owned by the Pledging Noteholders in the same principal amount as the indemnity payment. The pledge was executed as of June 29, 2007, in the same principal amount as the indemnity payment made prior to August 14, 2007.
As a result of a privately negotiated arm’s length transaction arranged by Anthony Shalom and Michael Shalom on August 15, 2007, the Company repurchased $2.2 million of the 11 3/4% Senior Notes held by the Pledging Noteholders at the same market price as $2.8 million of the 11 3/4% Senior Notes we purchased in the open market at the end of business on the prior day. We delivered all $5.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 11 3/4% Senior Notes purchased on such dates to the trustee, under the indenture governing the 11 3/4% Senior Notes, for cancellation in satisfaction of our mandatory sinking fund redemption that we were required to make by August 15, 2007 under the indenture.
Results of Operations
We report our business in two operating segments, based upon the geographic location of where we originate the sale: In-country and Miami. In-country segment includes revenue from our in-country sales and distribution centers, which have been aggregated because of their similar economic characteristics. Miami segment includes revenue from our Miami, Florida headquarters, including sales from Miami to our in-country sales and distribution centers and sales directly to resellers, retailers and distributors that
27
are located in countries in which we have in-country sales and distribution operations or in which we do not have any in-country operations. Most of our vendor rebates, incentives and allowances are reflected in the results of our Miami segment. When we consolidate our results, we eliminate revenue and cost of revenue attributable to inter-segment sales, and the financial results of our Miami segment discussed below reflect these eliminations.

Revenue. Revenue increased $33.7 million, or 13.8%, to $277.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $243.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Revenue growth was largely attributable to our strong sales performance and the increased demand for our IT products throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. In particular, the growth in revenue was driven primarily by the increase in sales of notebook computers of $18.7 million, monitors of $5.2 million, hard drives of $4.9 million, software of $4.0 million, and basic “white-box” systems of $3.9 million due to our sales strength in our Miami operations and our in-country operations, particularly in Chile, Colombia, Peru and Uruguay. Also contributing to our revenue growth was the increase in the average selling price of software, monitors and basic “white-box” systems, despite the decreased average selling price of memory products, CPUs and notebook computers. We experienced a 32.3% growth in unit shipments across our core product lines for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007, partially offset by a 7.9% decline in average sales prices across the same core products. In-country revenue increased $27.7 million, or 16.4%, to $196.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $168.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. In-country revenue accounted for 70.8% of our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to 69.3% of our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The growth in sales derived from our in-country operations reflected the increased demand for notebook computers, basic “white-box” systems, software and monitors, partially offset by the decreased sales of motherboards. Miami revenue increased $6.0 million, or 8.0%, to $81.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 (net of $71.4 million of revenue derived from sales to our in-country operations) from $75.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 (net of $68.4 million of revenue derived from sales to our in-country operations). The growth in sales derived from our Miami operations reflected the increased demand for hard drives, software, monitors, notebook computers and memory products, partially offset by the decreased sales of motherboards.
Gross profit.Gross profit increased $1.8 million, or 7.2%, to $26.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $24.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase was primarily driven by higher sales revenue and volume in our in-country operations. In-country gross profit increased $2.8 million, or 17.3%, to $18.9 million for three months ended March 31, 2008, from $16.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in in-country gross profit was primarily attributable to the increased sales volumes of notebook computers in Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru despite a decline in the average selling price, the increased sales volume and sales price of hard drives in Chile and monitors in Argentina, Chile, Ecuador and Uruguay, the impact of which was partially offset by the effect of strengthening currencies relative to the U.S. dollar in certain countries, most notably Chile, Colombia, and Peru. In-country gross profit accounted for 71.3% of our consolidated gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to 65.2% of our consolidated gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Miami gross profit decreased $1.0 million, or 11.6%, to $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in Miami’s gross profit was largely the result of the decrease in sales volume of motherboards, a significant decline in the sales price of monitors, and to a lesser extent, a decline in the sales price of notebook computers despite the increased sales volume of the products. The decrease was slightly offset by the increase in the sales

volume of monitors, hard drives and software. As a percentage of revenue, gross margin declined to 9.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to 10.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2007, due to the effects of strengthening currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and the increased sales volume of lower margin products such as hard disk drives and memory products.
Operating expenses.Total operating expenses increased $3.1 million, or 20.3%, to $18.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $15.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. As a percentage of revenue, operating expenses increased to 6.7% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to 6.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase was driven in part by higher salaries and payroll-related expenses of $1.7 million, or 20.7%, to $9.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, of which $1.2 million of the increase related to our in-country operations. As a percentage of total operating expenses, salaries and personnel expenses increased to 53.5% of total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to 53.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2007. In-country operating expenses increased $2.6 million, or 25.5%, to $12.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to $10.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, due to the higher salaries and payroll-related expenses. In-country salaries, personnel and other expenses were related to the growth in sales of our in-country operations in Argentina, Chile and Colombia, the increase in commission expenses resulting from increased sales volume, and the overall strengthening of our local in-country currencies, particularly in Chile, Colombia, and Peru. The increase in operating expenses was also driven by the increase in office and warehouse expenses and building and occupancy costs related to our operations in Chile and Colombia. Salaries and payroll-related expenses increased by $0.5 million in Miami as a result of the growth in sales and personnel in our Miami operations. We also incurred additional operating expenses including office and warehouse expenses and building and occupancy costs in our new headquarters facility in Miami, Florida.
Operating income. Operating income decreased $1.3 million, or 14.5%, to $7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $9.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease was primarily driven by the increased cost of revenue and also resulted from the increased selling, general and administrative expenses of $3.0 million or 20.5%, during the three months ended March 31, 2008, including the increase of $1.7 million in salaries and payroll-related expenses during the period. In-country operating income increased $0.1 million, or 2.4%, to $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Miami operating income decreased $1.5 million, or 44.1%, to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in Miami operating income resulted from the increase in operating expenses, particularly salaries and payroll-related expenses, office and warehouse expenses, and building and occupancy costs in our new headquarters facility in Miami, Florida.
Other expense (income), net.Other expense (income), net decreased $6.0 million, or 133.4%, to other income of $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from other expense of $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease was primarily attributable to the significant foreign exchange gain during the period, particularly the fluctuations in the Chilean Peso, the Colombian Peso and the Peruvian Nuevo Sol, and, to a lesser extent, the fluctuation in the Uruguayan Peso, the Mexican Peso, the Costa Rican Colon and the Jamaican dollar. The foreign exchange (gain) loss increased by $5.9 million to a gain of $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from a loss of $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The Chilean Peso experienced a revaluation of 18.4%, strengthening, to 440.0 pesos per U.S. dollar as of March 31, 2008 from 539.3 pesos as of March 31, 2007. The Colombian Peso experienced a revaluation of 18.2%, strengthening, to 1,842.6 pesos per U.S. dollar from 2,251.8 pesos as of March 31, 2007. The Peruvian Nuevo Sol experienced a revaluation of 15.7%, strengthening, to 2.8 pesos per U.S. dollar as of March 31, 2008, from 3.3 pesos as of March 31, 2007.
Provision for income taxes.The provision for income taxes decreased by $0.7 million, or 54.8%, to $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease was due to lower taxable earnings and a lower effective tax rate during the period. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2008, was 6%, as compared to the 27% rate for the three months ended March 31, 2007, resulting primarily from the non-taxable translation gains in our local in-country jurisdictions, particularly in Chile, Colombia and Peru.
Net income.Net income increased $5.3 million, or 153.5%, to $8.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase resulted from the significant gain in foreign currency translation due to the effects of the strengthening currency valuations against the U.S. dollar, particularly in Chile, Colombia and Peru and from the growth in gross profit related to our in-country operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The IT products distribution business is working-capital intensive. Historically, we have financed our working capital needs through a combination of cash generated from operations, trade credit from manufacturers, borrowings under revolving bank lines of credit (including issuance of letters of credit) and asset-based financing arrangements that we have established in certain Latin American markets and the issuance of our 11 3/4% Senior Notes.
Our working capital at March 31, 2008 increased by $8.0 million, or 7.9% to $109.6 million, as compared to $101.6 million at December 31, 2007. This increase was primarily attributable to higher levels of trade accounts receivable due to the increase in revenue. The increase was also driven by higher trade accounts receivable days resulting from increased business with retail customers and increased levels of inventory, reflecting the growth of our business, and higher trade accounts payable days. Our cash and cash amounted to $22.3 million, equivalents at March 31, 2008, as compared to $29.4 million at December 31, 2007. The decrease was primarily attributable to the increase in our current assets, particularly the increased levels of trade accounts receivables and inventory.
Changes in Financial Condition
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented:

Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents | | $ | (7,096 | ) | | $ | (3,902 | ) |
| | | | | | | | |
Cash flows from operating activities. Our cash flows from operating activities resulted in cash used by operations of $9.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to a generation of $7.6 million for three months ended March 31, 2007. This requirement was driven by higher trade accounts receivables and inventories due to growth in our sea container shipments from Asia and increases in our notes and other receivables.
Cash flows from investing activities. Our cash flows from investing activities resulted in a requirement of $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to a requirement of $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This improvement was due primarily to the absence of capital expenditures associated with the opening of our new headquarters facility in Miami, Florida in late March 2007.
Cash flows from financing activities. Our cash flows from financing activities resulted in a generation of $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to a requirement of $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase was driven by increased net borrowings under SBA’s revolving credit facility.
Working Capital Management
The successful management of our working capital needs is a key driver of our growth and cash flow generation. The following table sets forth certain information about the largest components of our working capital: our trade accounts receivable, inventories and accounts payable:

(1) | Trade accounts receivable days is defined as our consolidated trade accounts receivable (net of allowance for doubtful accounts) as of the last day of the quarterdivided by our consolidated revenue for such periodtimes 90 days. Our consolidated trade accounts receivable for our in-country operations include value added tax at a rate of between 5% and 27% (depending on the country). The exclusion of such value added tax would result in lower trade accounts receivable days. |
(2) | Inventory days is defined as our consolidated inventory as of the last day of the quarterdivided by our consolidated cost of goods sold for such periodtimes 90 days. |
(3) | Accounts payable days is defined as our consolidated accounts payable as of the last day of the quarterdivided by our consolidated cost of goods sold for such periodtimes 90 days. |
(4) | Cash conversion cycle is defined as our trade accounts receivable daysplus inventory daysless accounts payable days. |
Cash conversion cycle days. One measurement we use to monitor working capital is the concept of cash conversion cycle, which measures the number of days we take to convert inventory, net of payables, into cash. Our cash conversion cycle increased to 32.4 days as of March 31, 2008 from 31.2 days as of December 31, 2007. This weakening was primarily driven by the decrease in our accounts payable days, partially offset by the slight decrease in our trade accounts receivable days. Trade accounts receivable days decreased slightly due to improved collections in Miami’s export business. Inventory days remained steady at 45.5 days as of March 31, 2008 compared to December 31, 2007.
Trade accounts receivable. We principally sell products to a large base of third-party distributors, resellers and retailers throughout Latin America and the Caribbean and to other Miami-based exporters of IT products to Latin America and the Caribbean. Credit risk on trade receivables is diversified over several geographic areas and a large number of customers. No one customer accounted for more than 2.0% of sales as of March 31, 2008 and 2007. We provide trade credit to our customers in the normal course of business. The collection of a substantial portion of our receivables is susceptible to changes in Latin America and Caribbean economies and political climates. We monitor our exposure for credit losses and maintain allowances for anticipated losses after giving consideration to delinquency data, historical loss experience, and economic conditions impacting our industry. The financial condition of our customers and the related allowance for doubtful accounts is continually reviewed by management.
Prior to extending credit to a customer, we analyze the customer’s financial history and obtain personal guarantees, where appropriate. Our Miami and in-country operations in Chile use credit insurance and make provisions for estimated credit losses. Our other in-country operations make provisions for estimated credit losses but generally do not use credit insurance. Our Miami operations has a credit insurance policy covering trade sales to non-affiliated buyers with Euler Hermes ACI. The policy’s aggregate limit is $20.0 million with an aggregate deductible of $0.5 million with expiration dated July 31, 2008. In addition, 10% or 20% buyer coinsurance provisions and sub-limits in coverage on a per-buyer and per-country basis apply.
Our large customer base and our credit policies allow us to limit and diversify our exposure to credit risk on our trade accounts receivable.
Inventory. We seek to minimize our inventory levels and inventory obsolescence rates through frequent product shipments, close and ongoing monitoring of inventory levels and customer demand patterns, optimal use of carriers and shippers and the negotiation of clauses in some vendor supply agreements protecting against loss of value of inventory in certain circumstances. The Miami distribution center ships products to each of our In-country operations approximately twice per week by air and once per week by sea. These frequent shipments result in efficient inventory management and increased inventory turnover. We do not have long-term contracts with logistics providers, except in Mexico and Chile. Where we do not have long-term contracts, we seek to obtain the best rates and fastest delivery times on a shipment-by-shipment basis. Our Miami operations also coordinate direct shipments to third-party customers and In-country operations from vendors in Asia.
Accounts payable. We seek to maximize our accounts payable days through centralized purchasing and management of our vendor back-end rebates, promotions and incentives. This centralization of the purchasing function allows our in-country operations to focus their attention on more country-specific issues such as sales, local marketing, credit control and collections. The centralization of purchasing also allows our Miami operation to control the records and receipts of all vendor back-end rebates, promotions and incentives to ensure their collection and to adjust pricing of products according to such incentives.
Capital Expenditures and Investments
Capital expenditures decreased to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease was primarily driven by absence of capital expenditures related to the opening of our new headquarters facility in Miami, Florida and the absence of capital expenditures related to the purchase of additional warehouse space in Lima, Peru. The decline was offset by the capital expenditures related to the installation and upgrade of our common enterprise resource planning (“ERP”), management and financial consolidation system.
We anticipate that capital expenditures will be approximately $3.5 million per year over the next few years as we continue to implement our core ERP system and upgrade our facilities in connection with the growth in our business.
31
Capital Resources
We currently believe that our cash on hand, anticipated cash provided by operations, available and anticipated trade credit and borrowings under our existing credit facility and lines of credit, will provide sufficient resources to meet our anticipated debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working capital needs for the next 12 months. If our results of operations are not as favorable as we anticipate (including as a result of increased competition), our funding requirements are greater than we expect (including as a result of growth in our business), or our liquidity sources are not at anticipated levels (including levels of available trade credit), our resources may not be sufficient and we may have to raise additional financing or capital to support our business. In addition, we may not be able to accurately predict future operating results or changes in our industry which may change these needs. We continually assess our capital needs and may seek additional financing as needed to fund working capital requirements, capital expenditures and potential acquisitions. We cannot assure you that we will be able to generate anticipated levels of cash from operations or to obtain additional debt or equity financing in a timely manner, if at all, or on terms that are acceptable to us. Our inability to generate sufficient cash or obtain financing could hurt our results of operations and financial condition and prevent us from growing our business as anticipated.
The Company has lines of credit, short-term overdraft and credit facilities with various financial institutions in the country in which the Company’s individual business resides. Many of our in-country operations also have limited credit facilities. These credit facilities fall into three categories: asset-based financing facilities, letter of credit and performance bond facilities, and unsecured revolving credit facilities and lines of credit. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the total amounts available under the credit facilities were $18.9 million and $19.5 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the total amounts outstanding under these credit facilities were $31.2 million and $26.4 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the outstanding balances of the Miami credit facility were $22.0 million and $20.5 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the outstanding balances of the in-country credit facilities were $9.2 million and $5.8 million, respectively. The increase in the outstanding balance is primarily attributed to the increased borrowing by our subsidiaries to meet increased local working capital requirements, particularly additional borrowings of $2.0 million related to our operations in Guatemala, $0.7 million related to our operations in Chile, and $0.7 million related to our operations in Panama.
On August 25, 2005, the Company consummated a $120.0 million high yield notes offering in aggregate principal amount of 11 3/4% Second Priority Senior Secured Notes (the “11 3/4% Senior Notes”). The 11 3/4% Senior Notes were sold at 99.057% of face value and carry a coupon rate of 11 3/4% and are a second priority senior secured obligation of the Company due January 15, 2011. The proceeds of the offering were used to repay existing indebtedness, pay a dividend to shareholders, and pay fees and expenses associated with the debt offering with the remaining balance to be used for general corporate purposes. The 11 3/4% Senior Notes are secured on a second priority basis with 100.0% of the common shares of Intcomex Holdings, LLC and Intcomex Holdings SPC-1, LLC, and 65.0% of the shares of IXLA Holdings, LTD plus a second priority lien on the assets of SBA.
Concurrent with the high yield debt offering, SBA entered into a new $25.0 million three-year revolving credit facility with Comerica Bank. Borrowings against the facility bear interest at prime less 75 basis points and are secured on a first priority basis by all the assets of SBA (but excluding equity interests in SBA or our other direct and indirect subsidiaries). In 2006, SBA was in default under the credit facility as a result of SBA’s repayment of a portion of the outstanding principal under our intercompany loan with SBA. On November 2, 2006, Comerica granted a waiver and SBA and Comerica Bank amended the credit facility and a related subordination agreement to allow SBA to make certain payments on an intercompany loan from the Company, increase the minimum level of tangible effective net worth to $37.0 million (which minimum level declined from the fourth fiscal quarter of 2006 to the end of the fourth fiscal quarter of 2007 to $25.0 million and remains at $25.0 million thereafter) and extend the maturity date to August 25, 2009.
As of March 31, 2007, SBA was in default on its capital expenditure covenant under its revolving credit facility with Comerica Bank due to a delay in the relocation of our main warehouse and headquarters in Miami and a resulting delay in the timing of capital expenditures. On May 14, 2007, SBA requested and received a waiver from Comerica Bank on the covenant default and on May 15, 2007, entered into an amendment to the revolving credit facility agreement increasing the facility to $27.5 million from $25.0 million and raising the 2007 capital expenditure limit to $2.5 million from $1.0 million.
As of August 17, 2007, SBA and Comerica Bank entered into a third amendment to the revolving credit facility. The amendment increased the maximum amount available for borrowing under the revolving credit facility from $27.5 million to $30.0 million, computed on the basis of a re-defined borrowing base formula linked to the value of SBA’s inventory and the accounts receivable of SBA and certain of its foreign affiliates. Under the amendment, SBA agreed to maintain net income of not less than $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Starting in 2008, this net income covenant is replaced by a covenant to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0, as of the last day of each fiscal year of SBA, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. Further, the maturity of the revolving credit facility was extended to August 25, 2010, unless terminated earlier. We may terminate the revolving credit facility at any time without penalty upon at least three business days’ notice to Comerica Bank, provided such termination is accompanied by payment in full of all amounts borrowed. On September 20, 2007, SBA amended the revolving credit facility agreement to increase the 2007 capital expenditures limit to $3.0 million from $2.5 million. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the outstanding draws against the revolving credit facility were $16.4 million and $14.5 million, respectively.
32
As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, SBA was in default of its minimum tangible effective net worth and senior debt to tangible effective net worth ratio under its credit agreement with Comerica Bank. Under the agreement, SBA is required to maintain a minimum tangible effective net worth of $25,000 and a senior debt to tangible effective net worth ratio of not more than 2.5 to 1.0. The defaults occurred as a result of an additional $11.8 million of inventory in transit, which the Company determined to exist as of December 31, 2007. For a detailed discussion of the material weakness identified by management and related remediation actions, see Part II—Other Information. Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures” in our Company’s Annual Report. On March 28, 2008, SBA obtained from Comerica Bank Bank an amendment to its credit agreement for the definition of the tangible effective net worth. In addition, SBA obtained a waiver to its credit agreement for the senior debt to tangible effective net worth ratio as of December 31, 2007, and an amendment to the credit agreement for the definition of the tangible effective net worth and to increase the senior debt to tangible effective net worth ratio to not more than 3.5 to 1.0, effective for the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, and not more than 3.0 to 1.0 thereafter. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, SBA was in compliance with its other financial covenants.
On May 14, 2008, SBA obtained a waiver to its credit agreement for the minimum tangible effective net worth and the senior debt to tangible effective net worth ratio as of March 31, 2008. SBA also obtained an amendment to its credit agreement decreasing the minimum effective net worth of $25,000 to $20,000, effective for the quarters ended September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2009. SBA is required to maintain a minimum tangible effective net worth of $25,000 for the quarters ended June 30, 2008, December 31, 2008, June 30, 2009, and the end of each quarter thereafter. The amendment requires SBA’s senior debt to tangible effective net worth ratio to not more than 5.0 to 1.0, effective as of December 31, 2008 and December 31 of each year thereafter. The amendment increases SBA’s senior debt to tangible effective net worth ratio to not more than 6.0 to 1.0, effective as of June 30, 2008, September 30, 2008, March 31, 2009, and June 30, September 30 and March 31 of each year thereafter. Under the amendment, borrowings against the facility bear interest at the U.S. prime lending rate (5.25% at March 31, 2008) or Eurodollar rate plus 2.4%.
As a result of a privately negotiated arm’s length transaction arranged by Anthony Shalom and Michael Shalom, on August 15, 2007, we repurchased $2.2 million of the 11 3/4% Senior Notes held by the Pledging Noteholders, at the same market price as $2.8 million of the 11 3/4% Senior Notes we purchased in the open market at the end of business on the prior day. We delivered to the trustee under the indenture governing the 11 3/4% Senior Notes, all $5.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 11 3/4% Senior Notes purchased on such dates for cancellation in satisfaction of our mandatory sinking fund redemption that we were required to make by August 15, 2007 under the indenture. On December 14, 2006, the Company completed the exchange of 100.0% of the outstanding principal of the 11 3/4% Senior Notes for SEC registered publicly tradable notes that have substantially identical terms and conditions as the initial Notes.
On March 13, 2008, the Company repurchased $1.0 million of the 11 3/4% Senior Notes in an arm’s length transaction, at 98.25% of face value plus accrued interest. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, $113.4 million and $114.5 million, respectively, of the 11 3/4% Senior Notes remained outstanding.
On April 9, 2008 and April 25, 2008, the Company purchased $1,000 of its 11 3/4% Senior Notes in arm’s length transactions on each date at 95.25% and 95.5%, respectively, of face value plus accrued interest in connection with its mandatory sinking fund redemption requirements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of material contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we review and evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, those that relate to revenue recognition, accounts receivable and vendor programs; inventories; goodwill and other long-lived assets; and income taxes. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and a variety of other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making our estimates about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Although we believe our estimates, judgments and assumptions are appropriate and reasonable based upon available information, these assessments are subject to a wide range of factors; therefore, actual results could differ from these estimates.
We believe the following critical accounting policies are impacted by our judgment or by estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue recognition and accounts receivable. Revenue is recognized once the following criteria are met: we have persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; delivery to our customer has occurred, which happens at the point of shipment (this includes the transfer of both title and risk of loss, provided that no significant obligations remain); the price is fixed and determinable; and collectibility is reasonably assured. We allow our customers to return defective products for exchange or credit within 30 days of delivery based on the warranty of the OEM. An exception is infrequently made for long-standing customers with current accounts, on a case-by-case basis and upon approval by our management. A return is recorded in the period of the return because, based on our past experience, these returns are infrequent and immaterial.
Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in revenue and related costs are included in the cost of sales.
We provide allowances for doubtful accounts on our accounts receivable for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. Changes in the financial condition of our customers or other unanticipated events, which may affect their ability to make payments, could result in charges for additional allowances exceeding our expectations. These estimates require judgment and are influenced by the following considerations: the large number of customers and their dispersion across wide geographic areas; the fact that no single customer accounted for 2.0% or more of our revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007; a dedicated credit department at our Miami headquarters and at each of our in-country subsidiaries; aging of receivables, individually and in the aggregate; credit insurance coverage; and the value and adequacy of collateral received from our customers in certain circumstances. Uncollectible accounts are written-off annually against the allowance.

In accordance with EITF Issue No. 06-03,How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross Versus Net Presentation), our revenues are reported net of any sales, gross receipts or value added taxes.
We extend a warranty for products to customers with the same terms as the OEM’s warranty to use. All product-related warranty costs incurred by us are reimbursed by OEMs.
Vendor Programs. We receive funds from vendors for price protection, product rebates, marketing and promotions and competitive programs, which are recorded as adjustments to product costs or selling, general and administrative expenses according to the nature of the program. Some of these programs may extend over one or more quarterly reporting periods. We recognize rebates or other vendor incentives as earned based on sales of qualifying products or as services are provided in accordance with the terms of the related program. We provide reserves for receivables on vendor programs for estimated losses resulting from vendors’ inability to pay or rejections of claims by vendors. These reserves require judgment and are based upon aging and management’s estimate of collectibility.
Inventories. Our inventory levels are based on our projections of future demand and market conditions. Any unanticipated decline in demand or technological changes could cause us to have excess or obsolete inventories. On an ongoing basis, we review for estimated excess or obsolete inventories and make provisions for our inventories to reflect their estimated net realizable value based upon our forecasts of future demand and market conditions. These forecasts require judgment as to future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than our forecasts, additional inventory obsolescence provisions may be required. Our estimates are influenced by the following considerations: the availability of protection from loss in value of inventory under certain vendor agreements, the extent of our right to return to vendors a percentage of our purchases, the aging of inventories, variability of demand due to economic downturn and other factors, and the frequency of product improvements and technological changes. Rebates earned on products sold are recognized when the product is shipped to a third party customer and are recorded as a reduction to cost of sales in accordance with EITF Issue No. 02-16,Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor.
Goodwill and other long-lived assets.Our goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of acquired businesses. We assess goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or sooner if events indicate such a review is necessary. Potential impairment exists if the fair value of a reporting unit to which goodwill has been allocated is less than the carrying value of the reporting unit. The amount of the impairment to recognize, if any, is calculated as the amount by which the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its implied value. Future changes in the estimates used to conduct the impairment review, including revenue projections, market values and changes in the discount rate used could cause the analysis to indicate that our goodwill is impaired in subsequent periods and result in a write-off of a portion or all of the goodwill. The discount rate used is based on our capital structure and, if required, an additional premium on the reporting unit based upon its geographic market and operating environment. The assumptions used in estimating revenue projections are consistent with internal planning.
In addition, we review other long-lived assets (principally property, plant and equipment) for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the asset’s fair value, we measure and record an impairment loss for the excess. We assess an asset’s fair value by determining the expected future undiscounted cash flows of the asset. There are numerous uncertainties and inherent risks in conducting business, such as general economic conditions, actions of competitors, ability to manage growth, actions of regulatory authorities, pending investigations or litigation, customer demand and risk relating to international operations. Adverse effects from these or other risks may result in adjustments to the carrying value of our other long-lived assets.
Income taxes. As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we calculate our income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes. This process involves calculating our actual current tax expense together with assessing any temporary differences resulting from the different treatment of certain items, such as the timing for recognizing revenues and expenses, for tax and financial reporting purposes. These differences may result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in our consolidated balance sheet. We are required to assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets, which include temporary differences that are expected to be deductible in future years, will be recoverable from future taxable income or other tax planning strategies. If recovery is not likely, we must provide a valuation allowance based on our estimates of future taxable income in the various taxing jurisdictions, and the amount of deferred taxes that are ultimately realizable. The provision for tax liabilities involves evaluations and judgments of uncertainties in the interpretation of complex tax regulations by various taxing authorities.
Tax positions are measured under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 48-1,Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48-1”), an amendment to FIN 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). Under FIN 48-1, highly certain tax positions are determined based upon the likelihood of the positions sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. The benefit of a tax position is
34
recognized in the financial statements in the period during which management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits is classified as interest expense and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses, if any, in the consolidated statements of operations.
In the event of a distribution of the earnings of certain international subsidiaries, we would be subject to withholding taxes payable on those distributions to the relevant foreign taxing authorities. Since we currently intend to reinvest undistributed earnings of these international subsidiaries indefinitely, we have made no provision for income taxes that might be payable upon the remittance of these earnings. We have also not determined the amount of tax liability associated with an unplanned distribution of these permanently reinvested earnings. In the event that in the future we consider that there is a reasonable likelihood of the distribution of the earnings of these international subsidiaries (for example, if we intend to use those distributions to meet our liquidity needs), we will be required to make a provision for the estimated resulting tax liability, which will be subject to the evaluations and judgments of uncertainties described above.
We conduct business globally and, as a result, one or more of our subsidiaries, file income tax returns in U.S. federal, state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities in the countries in which we operate. Currently, we are under on going tax examinations in several countries. While such examinations are subject to inherent uncertainties, we do not currently anticipate that any such examination would have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Commitments and Contingencies.We accrue for contingent obligations when the obligation is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. As facts concerning contingencies become known, we reassess our position and make appropriate adjustments to the financial statements. Estimates that require judgment and are particularly sensitive to future changes include those related to taxes, legal matters, the imposition of international governmental monetary, fiscal or other controls, changes in the interpretation and enforcement of international laws (in particular related to items such as duty and taxation), and the impact of local economic conditions and practices, which are all subject to change as events evolve and as additional information becomes available.
As part or our normal course of business, we are involved in certain claims, regulatory and tax matters. In the opinion of our management, the final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. |
There have been no material changes in our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report from those disclosed in our Annual Report. For a detailed discussion of the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Part II. Item 7. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Company’s Annual Report.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures. |
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report from those disclosed in our Annual Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
However, in December 2007, management identified a material weakness surrounding the Company’s inventory in transit. The failed controls related to our inventory in transit included the following: (1) a failure to train, educate and communicate changes in vendor terms and conditions to our purchasing and accounting personnel; and (2) a failure to validate the accuracy of the IT program used to capture the inventory in transit information from the Company’s ERP system. This material weakness resulted in a material adjustment in December 2007, of $11.8 million to increase the Company’s inventory and accounts payable. Specifically, the controls over the shipping terms and IT related reports were not designed and operating effectively to ensure the completeness and accuracy of inventory in transit as of December 31, 2007. Management believes it has taken corrective actions to remedy the failed controls and effectively capture the inventory in transit information and believes that inventory was properly stated as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
35
Management undertook remediation efforts to the internal controls surrounding the controls around inventory in transit operations and transactions. As of March 31, 2008, the Company has effective controls over the accounting for inventory in transit for the Miami operations. The Company corrected the IT program to capture correctly inventory in transit information, validated the accuracy of the IT program used to capture the inventory in transit information from the Company’s ERP system by physically inspecting vendor invoices, and established a communications procedure and has implemented an enhanced training program to communicate to purchasing and accounting personnel the impact a change in vendor terms and conditions could potentially have on the Company’s financial statements. The actions the Company has taken to remediate this material weakness are subject to continued management review, supported by testing, as well as oversight by the Company’s audit committee and Board of Directors. Management believes the controls related to inventory in transit were working effectively as of March 31, 2008.
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of March 31, 2008, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
The Company maintains a system of internal controls to provide reasonable assurance that the Company’s assets are safeguarded and that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles accepted in the United States. However, the Company’s management does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, will be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty. Breakdown in the control systems can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate. Due to these inherent limitations, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Part II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings. |
As of March 31, 2008, the Company had no material legal proceedings pending. We are, from time to time, the subject of legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that any proceedings currently pending or threatened will have a material adverse affect on our business, consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, factors discussed in Part I—Financial Information, 1A. “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report, which could materially affect our business, future results of operations and financial condition should be carefully considered. The risk factors described in the Company’s Annual Report may not be the only risk factors facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties that we currently deem to be immaterial or are not currently known to us may also materially and adversely affect our business, consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
