NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Quarterly results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.For further information, refer to the annual financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2006.
2. General
Description of Business
Emtec, Inc. is an information technology company, providing consulting, services and products to commercial, federal, education, state and local verticals. The Company’s areas of specific practices include communications, data management, enterprise computing, managed services, storage and data center planning and development. The Company’s client base is comprised of departments of the United States Federal Government, U.S. state and local governments, schools and commercial businesses throughout the United States. The most significant portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from activities as a reseller of Information Technology (“IT”) products, such as workstations, servers, microcomputers, and application software and networking and communications equipment.
The Company considers all of its operating activity to be generated from a single operating segment.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Emtec, Inc. a New Jersey Corporation (“Emtec NJ”), Emtec Viasub LLC (“Emtec LLC”), and Emtec Viasub’s wholly owned subsidiary Westwood Computer Corporation (“Westwood”) and Emtec Global Services LLC (“EGS”). Significant intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years balances in order to conform to current presentations.
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
4
of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, including, but not limited to, receivable valuations, impairment of goodwill and other long lived assets, and income taxes. Management’s estimates are based on historical experience, facts and circumstances available at the time, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company reviews these matters and reflects changes in estimates as appropriate. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of average cost (specific identification) or market. Inventory is finished goods purchased for resale and consists of computer hardware, computer software, computer peripherals and related supplies.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share amounts are computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted average shares outstanding (the denominator), during the period. Shares issued during the period are weighted for the portion of the period that they were outstanding.
Diluted earnings per share amounts are similar to the computation of basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive options and warrants had been exercised. Diluted shares consisting of stock options and warrants totaling 20,789 and 45,792 shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the three months and six months ended February 28, 2007, respectively, since their effect is antidilutive.
3. Stock Options, Non-Vested Shares and Warrants
The Company’s 2006 Stock-Based Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2006 Plan”) was approved by the stockholders on May 8, 2006. The 2006 Plan authorizes the granting of stock options to directors and eligible employees. The Company has reserved 1,400,000 shares of its common stock for issuance under the 2006 Plan at prices not less than 100% of the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant (110% in the case of shareholders owning more than 10% of the Company’s common stock). Options under the 2006 Plan typically terminate after 10 years and may vest over a four year period. No options were granted or exercised during the year ended August 31, 2006.
During the three months ended November 30, 2006, the Company granted 70,000 fully-vested 10 year options to two members of the Company’s Board and recorded compensation expense of $ 68,996 based upon grant date valuations under the Black Scholes option pricing model.
During the three months ended February 28, 2007, the Company granted a total of 280,500 options with 7 year terms to various employees. These options vest over 4 years on their anniversary date in 25% increments each year.
The Company’s 1996 Stock Option Plan (amended in 1999) (the “1996 Plan”) authorizes the granting of stock options to directors and eligible employees. The Company has reserved 1,000,000 shares of its common stock for issuance under the 1996 Plan at prices not less than 100% of the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant (110% in the case of shareholders owning more than 10% of the Company’s common stock). Options under the 1996 Plan typically terminate after 5 years
5
and vest over a four year period. As of February 28, 2007, there are 2,000 outstanding options that were granted under the 1996 Plan. No other options have been granted by the Company under the 1996 Plan. Combined option activity for the 2006 and 1996 Plans is summarized as follows:

Expected Volatility | 109% | |
Expected term | 4.75 years | |

On November 3, 2006, the Company granted a total of 239,112 shares of non-vested Company common stock to three members of Company’s senior management team. These non-vested stock grants vest over 4 years at their November 3rd anniversary dates in 25% increments each year. The grant date fair value of the non-vested shares was determined to be $1.24 per share based upon the November 3, 2006 quoted closing price of Company stock on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board. Total compensation expense of $296,500 is expected to be recorded over the 4 year vesting period of these grants On December 8, 2006, the Company granted 17,250 shares of non-vested Company common stock to various employees. These shares vest on December 8, 2007. The grant date fair value of the non-vested shares was determined to be $1.44 per share based upon the December 8, 2006 quoted closing price of Company common stock on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board.

During the three months ended February 28, 2007, the Company executed new employment contracts with two executives and finalized grants of 201,612 shares of non-vested Company common stock in the aggregate to the two executives. These non-vested stock grants vest over 4 years at their anniversary date in 25% increments each year. The fair value of the non-vested shares was determined to be $1.24 per share based upon the grant date quoted closing price of Company stock on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board. Total compensation expense of $250,000 is expected to be recorded over the 4-year vesting period of these grants.
The following table represents the shares that were granted and outstanding as of February 28, 2007:

The Company recognized the following stock compensation expense during the three and six months ended February 28, 2007 of $109,281 and $190,122, respectively.
As of February 28, 2007, there was $655,966 of unrecognized compensation cost related to share based payments. Stock based compensation expense for future periods for non-vested share based payments outstanding as of February 28, 2007 is estimated as follows:
Six months ending August 31, 2007 | $ | 203,492 | |
Year ending August 31, 2008 | $ | 247,029 | |
Year ending August 31, 2009 | $ | 128,940 | |
Year ending August 31, 2010 | $ | 60,195 | |
Year ending August 31, 2011 | $ | 16,310 |
The Company did not grant any share-based compensation awards during the year ended August 31, 2006 and all outstanding stock options as of September 1, 2005 were fully vested, thus no stock compensation expense was recognized in the August 2006 fiscal year of adoption of SFAS 123(R).
The Company has also issued stock warrants to certain stockholders that evidence the obligation of the Company to issue a variable number of shares, in the aggregate, equal to 10% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, measured on a post exercise basis, at any date during the 5 year term of the warrants, which ends August 5, 2010. The aggregate exercise price of these warrants is fixed at $3,695,752. The exercise price per warrant will vary based upon the number of shares issuable under the warrants. The number of shares issuable under the warrants totaled 1,598,365 shares with an exercise price of $2.31 per share as of February 28, 2007. The outstanding stock warrants were anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended February 28, 2007 and 2006.

4. Line of Credit
On December 7, 2006, the Company and its subsidiaries Emtec NJ, Emtec LLC, and Westwood (the Company, Emtec NJ, and Emtec LLC and Westwood, collectively, the “Borrower”), entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with De Lage Landen Financial Services, Inc. (the “Lender”) pursuant to which the Lender has agreed to provide the Borrower a revolving credit loan and floorplan loan (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility provides for aggregate borrowings of the lesser of $32.0 million or 85% of Borrower’s eligible accounts receivable, plus 100% of unsold inventory financed by the Lender, minus $5.0 million reserve. The floor plan loan portion of the Credit Facility is for the purchase of inventory from approved vendors and for other business purposes. The Credit Facility subjects the Borrower to mandatory repayments upon the occurrence of certain events as set forth in the Credit Facility.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility will bear interest at an annual rate equal to the rate of interest published in the “Money Rates” section of the Wall Street Journal minus 0.5% (7.75% as of February 28, 2007) for revolving credit loans. Floorplan loans shall not bear interest until the Borrower is in default unless a floorplan loan is unsubsidized then such floorplan loan will accrue interest once made at the rate agreed to by the parties. Interest on outstanding floorplan loans accrues per annum at the rate of 2.5% in excess of the interest rate published in the “Money Rates” section of the Wall Street Journal (10.75% as of February 28, 2007).
To secure the payment of the obligations under the Credit Facility, the Borrower granted to the Lender a security interest in all of Borrower’s assets, including inventory, equipment, fixtures, accounts, chattel paper, instruments, deposit accounts, documents, general intangibles, letter of credits rights, and all judgments, claims and insurance policies.
Simultaneous with the execution of the Credit Facility, the Borrower terminated its prior Business Financing Agreement and Wholesale Financing Agreement with GE Commercial Distribution Finance Corporation and satisfied all outstanding obligations under those agreements.
In connection with its refinancing, Westwood paid the full amount due and owing under the 5% and 8% junior subordinated notes to former stockholders of Westwood and paid the remaining balance of $243,870 to Joyce Tischler under a Separation Agreement dated April 16, 2004 (see footnotes 10 and 11 for additional detail).
As of February 28, 2007, the Company had an $8.39 million outstanding balance under the revolving portion of the Credit Facility, and an $885,677 (included in the Company’s accounts payable) outstanding balance plus $860,300 in open approvals under the floor plan portion of the Credit Facility. Net availability of $4.71 million was available under the revolving portion of the Credit Facility, and $17.15 million was available under the floor plan portion of the Credit Facility as of February 28, 2007.
As of February 28, 2007, the Company determined that it was in compliance with its financial covenants with the Lender.
5. Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Clients

Section 12.1 of the Purchase Agreement provided that if the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement has not occurred by March 28, 2007, either EGS or the Seller could terminate the Purchase Agreement. On March 28, 2007, the Seller sent a notice to Emtec and EGS alleging a material default and breach of the Purchase Agreement and terminated the Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1. Neither the Company nor EGS believes it is in material default or breach of the Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, EGS has paid Seller $500,000 as an advance against the purchase price, which EGS anticipates it will be unable to recover. This $500,000 advance against the purchase price along with an additional $178,116 in expenses related to the potential acquisition has been recorded as an expense on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations as selling, general and administrative expense during the three months ended February 28, 2007.

Total Revenues
Total revenues decreased by 0.6%, or $265,042, to $41.15 million for the three months ended February 28, 2007, compared to $41.42 million for the three months ended February 28, 2006. This decrease is mainly due to a continuous IT spending slow-down in various governmental agencies in the State of New Jersey, larger educational roll-out projects being pushed into future quarters and our inability to attract new major customers.
A large portion of our revenue is drawn from various civilian and military U.S. governmental departments and agencies. These clients include the Department of Defense, Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Agriculture, Department of Commerce and the General Service Administration. During the three months ended February 28, 2007 and 2006, U.S. governmental department and agency related revenues represented approximately 51.9% and 42.3% of total revenues, respectively.
It is expected that federal government business revenues will continue to represent a large portion of our total revenues as we continue to strive to penetrate wider and deeper into various civilian and military agencies. We have broadened the number of multi-year contracts in which we are participating and we are one of nine recent awardees of a U.S. Army contract which contemplates the awardees participating in government purchases which may approximate $5.0 billion over 10 years. Additionally, we were recently awarded National Aeronautics and Space Administration – Solution for Enterprise Wide Procurement IV, (“NASA SEWP IV”) Contract, under which we will be able to patricipate in possible government purchases. In addition, we are currently bidding on several new contracts. As a result of our existing federal government contracts, as well as our ongoing focus on seeking new contracts, we feel that that our total future revenues derived from the federal government business will be similar to prior periods although our business may be subject to federal government budgetary pressures and constraints.
The education business is expected to be strong during the upcoming quarters. We anticipate participating in various computer roll-out projects for various school districts which we believe will increase our education revenues over prior quarters. Presently, we have received purchase orders in excess of $15.0 million to be fulfilled over the next several months.
Our revenues, by client types, are comprised of the following:
For the Three Months Ended February 28, | ||||||||||||
2007 | 2006 | |||||||||||
Departments of the United States Government | $ | 21,351,696 | 51.9 | % | $ | 17,514,706 | 42.3 | % | ||||

Total Revenues | $ | 41,154,373 | 100.0 | % | $ | 41,419,415 | 100.0 | % |
Gross Profit
Aggregate gross profit decreased by 15.0%, or $769,897, to $4.35 million for the three months ended February 28, 2007 as compared to $5.12 million for the three months ended February 28, 2006. This decrease is mainly due to a continuous IT spending slow-down in various governmental agencies in the State of New Jersey and larger educational roll-out projects being pushed into future quarters. These
17
decreases resulted in a reduction of our higher margin installation services which reduced our gross profit. Additionally, this quarter we received less manufacturer incentives and rebates.
Measured as a percentage of revenues, our gross profit margin decreased to 10.6% of total revenues for the three months ended February 28, 2007 from 12.4% for the three months ended February 28, 2006. This decrease is mainly due to competitive pressure, aggressive pricing strategies, decline in education and state and local revenues, and lower utilization of our technical engineers which lowered our margin percentages.
We believe that the education business will improve during the upcoming quarters. We anticipate participating in various computer roll-out projects for various school districts which we believe will increase our education revenues over prior quarters. Presently, we have received purchase orders in excess of $15.0 million to be fulfilled over the next several months. These computer roll-out projects should positively impact our technical employee utilization and thus we expect it to improve our gross margin percentages.
Factors that may affect gross profits in the future include changes in product margins, rebates and other incentives offered by various manufacturers, changes in technical employee utilization rates, the mix of products and services sold, and the decision to aggressively price certain products and services.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 18.0%, or $877,275, to $5.76 million for the three months ended February 28, 2007, compared to $4.88 million for the three months ended February 28, 2006. This increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is mainly due to the following:
o | Merger related costs associated with the termination of the Stock Purchase Agreement with Configuration Management, Inc. totaled $678,116, which includes $500,000 in advance payments made against the purchase price and $178,116 in professional fees and other related expenses; | |
o | Stock compensation expense related to the issuance of stock options and non-vested stock was $109,281 for the three months ended February 28, 2007; | |
o | Severance costs paid during the quarter of approximately $150,000; and | |
o | Approximately $125,000 in costs associated with office consolidation incurred during this quarter. | |
Most of the above listed selling, general and administrative expenses are non-recurring and we anticipate that these types of expenses should not be repeated in future quarters.
In addition, to improve operational efficiencies within the organization, we have made operational and management changes to our business for which we expect to see the impact in future quarters. We will continue to emphasize operating efficiencies through cost containment strategies, re-engineering efforts and improved service delivery techniques, particularly within selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses.
Factors that may in the future have a negative impact on our selling, general and administrative costs include costs associated with marketing and selling activities, potential merger related costs,
18
technological improvement costs, compliance costs associated with SEC rules and increases in our insurance costs.
Management Fee-Related Party
Management fees paid to a related party for the three months ended February 28, 2007 compared to the three months ended February 28, 2006 decreased by $29,167. This decrease is due to the termination of the Management Services Agreement dated April 16, 2004 between Westwood and DARR Global. Under the terms of the agreement, DARR Global charged Westwood a monthly management fee of $29,167.
On February 5, 2007 in connection with the termination of the Management Services Agreement between Westwood and DARR Global, Westwood issued a subordinated promissory note to DARR Global. The principal amount of the note is $1,002,900, and interest on the unpaid principal amount is payable at a rate of five percent (5%) per annum. Westwood must repay the note at a rate of $250,000 per annum in monthly principal payments of $20,833 and all interest then accrued and unpaid on the note. However, if either (i) the Company achieves a defined EBITDA target or (ii) all amounts due under the notes issued to Mr. Grabel, Ms. Grabel and Four Kings Management LLC are paid in full, then Westwood must repay the note at a rate of $350,000 per annum. The Company has guaranteed payment of all amounts due under the note pursuant to a guaranty dated February 5, 2007. DARR Global is a management consulting firm that is 100% owned by Mr. Dinesh Desai, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
Amended Employment Agreements and Management Agreement Charges
On February 5, 2007 in connection with the entry into amended and restated employment agreements with Keith Grabel and Mary Margaret Grabel, and in connection with the termination of the Management Services Agreement between Westwood and DARR Global, Westwood issued subordinated promissory notes to Mr. Grabel, Mrs. Grabel and DARR Global in the principal amount of $671,300, $655,600, and $1,002,900, respectively. The total principal amount of these notes, equaling $2,329,800, has been recorded as an amended employment agreements and management agreement charges on the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended February 28, 2007.
Rent Expense-Related Party
We occupy approximately 43,000 square feet of office and warehouse space in Springfield, New Jersey. This space is leased from Westwood Property Holdings, LLC, in which Keith Grabel, our director and an executive officer, Mary Margaret Grabel, spouse of our director and an executive officer, and David Micales, our Vice President of Operations, are members. The lease term is through April 2009 with monthly base rent of $15,000. During the three months ended February 28, 2007 and 2006, we recorded $45,000 in expense under this lease.
We also occupy approximately 21,000 square feet of office and warehouse space in a 70,000 square foot building in Suwannee, GA from GS&T Properties, LLC, in which certain officers of our company are passive investors, owning approximately 20% equity interest. The lease term is for 5 years with
19
monthly base rent of $12,500. During the three months ended February 28, 2007 and 2006, we recorded $44,325 and $43,933 in expense under this lease, respectively.
Management believes the leases noted above are being leased at a rate consistent with the market rate.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and Amortization expense increased by 29.6%, or $66,518, to $291,485 for the three months ended February 28, 2007, compared to $224,967 for the three months ended February 28, 2006. This increase is primarily attributable to increased investment in property and equipment, which increased our depreciation expense. These capital assets acquisitions were primarily for computer equipment for internal use, the purchase of software licenses and integration related costs to upgrade our computer systems.
Intangible assets at February 28, 2007 and August 31, 2006 consisted of the value ascribed to customer relationships of $8,661,712 less accumulated amortization of $938,761 and $648,585, respectively. The assets ascribed to customer relationships are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 13 to 15 years. Amortization expense was $145,089 for each of the three month periods ended February 28, 2007 and 2006. Amortization expense of $580,356 is expected to be recorded each year through August 31, 2016, $573,085 for the year ended August 31, 2017, $558,544 for each of the years ended August 31, 2018 and 2019, and $518,755 for the year ended August 31, 2020.
Interest expense
Interest expense increased by 5.1%, or $17,350, to $354,880 for the three months ended February 28, 2007, compared to $337,530 for the three months ended February 28, 2006. This is mainly due to an average higher balance outstanding on our line of credit due to higher Days Sales Outstanding during the three months ended February 28, 2007 as compared with three months ended February 28, 2006.
Provision for Income Taxes
We recorded an income tax benefit of $1.81 million during the three months ended February 28, 2007. This income tax benefit is primarily due to recording deferred tax assets associated with net operating carry-forwards and amended employment agreements and management agreement charges associated with loss of $4.51 million. We estimate that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax and assets recorded as of February 28, 2007 will be realized in future periods, and accordingly no valuation allowance related to our deferred tax assets has been recorded.

Total Revenues
Total revenues decreased by 15.9%, or $20.11 million, to $106.10 million for the six months ended February 28, 2007, compared to $126.20 million for the six months ended February 28, 2006. This decrease is mainly due to an overall decrease in our customers’ IT spending, particularly various governmental agencies in the State of New Jersey, larger educational roll-out projects being pushed into future quarters, and our inability to attract new major customers.
A large portion of our revenue is drawn from various civilian and military U.S. governmental departments and agencies. These clients include the Department of Defense, Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Agriculture, Department of Commerce and the General Service Administration. During the six months ended February 28, 2007 and 2006, U.S. governmental department and agency related revenues represented approximately 63.6% and 56.3% of total revenues, respectively.
It is expected that federal government business revenues will continue to represent a large portion of our total revenues as we continue to penetrate wider and deeper into various civilian and military agencies. We have broadened the number of multi-year contracts in which we are participating and we are one of nine recent awardees of a U.S. Army contract which contemplates the awardees participating in government purchases which may approximate $5.0 billion over 10 years. Additionally, we were recently awarded NASA SEWP IV Contract, under which we will be able to participate in possible government purchases. In addition, we are currently bidding on several new contracts. As a result of our existing federal government contracts, as well as our ongoing focus on seeking new contracts, we feel that that our total future revenues derived from the federal government business will be similar to prior periods although our business may be subject to federal government budgetary pressures and constraints.
The education business is expected to be strong during the upcoming quarters. We anticipate participating in various computer roll-out projects for various school districts which we believe will increase our education revenues over prior quarters. Presently, we have received purchase orders in excess of $15.0 million to be fulfilled over the next several months.
Our revenues, by client types, are comprised of the following:

Gross Profit
Aggregate gross profit decreased by 22.0%, or $2.93 million, to $10.41 million for the six months ended February 28, 2007 as compared to $13.34 million for the six months ended February 28, 2006. This decrease is mainly due to a decrease in revenue as discussed in the total revenue section.
Measured as a percentage of revenues, our gross profit margin decreased to 9.8% of total revenues for the six months ended February 28, 2007 from 10.6% for the six months ended February 28, 2006. This
22
decrease is mainly due to competitive pressure, aggressive pricing strategies, decline in education and state and local revenues, and lower utilization of our technical engineers which lowered our margin percentages.
Factors that may affect gross profits in the future include changes in product margins, rebates and other incentives offered by various manufacturers, changes in technical employee utilization rates, the mix of products and services sold, and the decision to aggressively price certain products and services.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 5.9%, or $699,554, to $11.10 million for the six months ended February 28, 2007, compared to $11.80 million for the six months ended February 28, 2006. Selling, general and administrative expense for the six months ended February 28, 2007 includes following expenses:
o | Merger related costs associated with the termination of the Stock Purchase Agreement with Configuration Management, Inc. totaled to $678,116, which includes $500,000 in advance payments made against the purchase price and $178,116 in professional fees and other related expenses; | |
o | Stock compensation expense related to the issuance of stock options and non-vested stock was $190,122 for the six months ended February 28, 2007; | |
o | Severance costs paid during the period of approximately $210,000; and | |
o | Approximately $125,000 in costs associated with office consolidation incurred during this quarter. | |
Excluding the above listed expenses, our selling, general and administrative expenses would have decreased by approximately $1.90 million to $9.90 million for the six months ended February 28, 2007 as compared with $11.80 million for the six months ended February 28, 2006. This decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is mainly due to the following:
o | Sales commission expense decreased by approximately $568,000, which is directly related to the decrease in our gross profit resulting from lower revenues; | |
o | An overall decrease of approximately $800,000 in compensation and benefits expenses; | |
o | A decrease of approximately $310,000 in professional fees due to reduced reliance on outside professionals and a full year with our current auditors; | |
o | Approximately $192,000 of reduced costs resulting from decreases in a variety of areas including marketing, advertising, insurance, rent, utilities, building expense and others. | |
In addition, to improve operational efficiencies within the organization, we have made operational and management changes to our business for which we expect to see the impact in future quarters. We will continue to emphasize operating efficiencies through cost containment strategies, re-engineering efforts and improved service delivery techniques, particularly within selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses.
Factors that may in the future have a negative impact on our selling, general and administrative costs include costs associated with marketing and selling activities, potential merger related costs, technological improvement costs, compliance costs associated with SEC rules and increases in our insurance costs.
23
Management Fee-Related Party
Management fees paid to a related party for the six months ended February 28, 2007 compared to the six months ended February 28, 2006 decreased by $29,167. This decrease is due to the termination of the Management Services Agreement dated April 16, 2004 between Westwood and DARR Global. Under the terms of the agreement, DARR Global charged Westwood a monthly management fee of $29,167.
On February 5, 2007 in connection with the termination of the Management Services Agreement between Westwood and DARR Global, Westwood issued a subordinated promissory note to DARR Global. The principal amount of the note is $1,002,900, and interest on the unpaid principal amount is payable at a rate of five percent (5%) per annum. Westwood must repay the note at a rate of $250,000 per annum in monthly principal payments of $20,833 and all interest then accrued and unpaid on the note. However, if either (i) the Company achieves a defined EBITDA target or (ii) all amounts due under the notes issued to Mr. Grabel, Ms. Grabel and Four Kings Management LLC are paid in full, then Westwood must repay the note at a rate of $350,000 per annum. The Company has guaranteed payment of all amounts due under the note pursuant to a guaranty dated February 5, 2007. DARR Global is a management consulting firm that is 100% owned by Mr. Dinesh Desai, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
Amended Employment Agreements and Management Agreement Charges
On February 5, 2007 in connection with the entry into amended and restated employment agreements with Keith Grabel and Mary Margaret Grabel, and in connection with the termination of the Management Services Agreement between the Company and DARR Global, Westwood issued subordinated promissory notes to Mr. Grabel, Mrs. Grabel and DARR Global in the principal amount of $671,300, $655,600, and $1,002,900, respectively. Total of these notes equaling to $2,329,800 has been recorded as an amended employment agreements and management agreement charges on the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended February 28, 2007.
Rent Expense-Related Party
We occupy approximately 43,000 square feet of office and warehouse space in Springfield, New Jersey. This space is leased from Westwood Property Holdings, LLC, in which Keith Grabel, our director and an executive officer, Mary Margaret Grabel, spouse of our director and an executive officer, and David Micales, our Vice President of Operations, are members. The lease term is through April 2009 with monthly base rent of $15,000. During the six months ended February 28, 2007 and 2006, we recorded $90,000 in expense under this lease.
We also occupy approximately 21,000 square feet of office and warehouse space in a 70,000 square foot building in Suwannee, GA from GS&T Properties, LLC, in which certain officers of our company are passive investors, owning approximately 20% equity interest. The lease term is for 5 years with monthly base rent of $12,500. During the six months ended February 28, 2007 and 2005, we recorded $88,650 and $87,087 in expense under this lease, respectively.
24
Management believes the leases noted above are being leased at a rate consistent with the market rate.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and Amortization expense increased by 25.6%, or $112,265, to $550,736 for the six months ended February 28, 2007, compared to $438,471 for the six months ended February 28, 2006. This increase is primarily attributable to increased investment in property and equipment, which increased our depreciation expense. These capital assets acquisitions were primarily for computer equipment for internal use, the purchase of software licenses and integration related costs to upgrade our accounting systems.
Intangible assets at February 28, 2007 and August 31, 2006 consisted of the value ascribed to customer relationships of $8,661,712 less accumulated amortization of $938,761 and $648,585, respectively. The assets ascribed to customer relationships are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 13 to 15 years. Amortization expense was $291,618 for each of the six months ended February 28, 2007 and 2006. Amortization expense of $580,356 is expected to be recorded each year through August 31, 2016, $573,085 for the year ended August 31, 2017, $558,544 for each of the years ended August 31, 2018 and 2019, and $518,755 for the year ended August 31, 2020.
Interest expense
Interest expense decreased by 5.1%, or $30,167, to $563,598 for the six months ended February 28, 2007, compared to $593,765 for the six months ended February 28, 2006. This is primarily attributable to an average lower balance outstanding on our line of credit during the six months ended February 28, 2007.
Provision for Income Taxes
We recorded an income tax benefit of $1.74 million during the six months ended February 28, 2007. This income tax benefit is primarily due to recording deferred tax assets associated with net operating loss carryforwards and amended employment agreements and management agreement charges associated with loss of $4.40 million for the six months ended February 28, 2007. We estimate that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets recorded as of February 28, 2007 will be realized in future periods, and accordingly no valuation allowance related to our deferred tax assets has been recorded.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement 109.” FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in and enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing in the financial statements tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. If there are changes in net assets as a result of the application of FIN 48 these will be accounted for as an adjustment to retained earnings. Additional disclosures about the amounts of such liabilities will be required also. The Company is required to adopt FIN 48 beginning September 1 , 2007. Management is currently assessing the impact of FIN 48 on consolidated financial position and results of operations.
25
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents at February 28, 2007 of $1.12 million represented an increase of $199,658 from $917,683 at August 31, 2006. We are a net borrower; consequently, we believe our cash and cash equivalents balance must be viewed along with the available balance on our line of credit. Borrowings under our line of credit at February 28, 2007 increased to $8.39 million from $881,459 on at August 31, 2006. As of February 28, 2007, our net working capital was approximately $3.36 million less than it was at August 31, 2006.The decrease in working capital is mainly due to following:
o | Payment of $533,281 to former stockholders of Westwood, which paid in-full the amount due and owing under the 5% and 8% junior subordinated notes during the six months ended February 28, 2007; | |
o | Payment of $272,332, which paid in full amounts due and owing to Joyce Tischler under a separation agreement dated April 16, 2004 during the six months ended February 28, 2007; | |
o | On February 5, 2007 in connection with the entry into amended and restated employment agreements with Keith Grabel and Mary Margaret Grabel, and in connection with the termination of the Management Services Agreement between the Company and DARR Global, Westwood issued subordinated promissory notes to Mr. Grabel, Ms. Grabel and DARR Global in the principal amount of $671,300, $655,600, and $1,002,900, respectively. The current portion of these long-term notes, totaling to $839,729, decreased working capital; | |
o | Investment in Property and Equipment of $438,095; | |
o | Operating losses incurred during this quarter due to reasons discussed in our Results of Operations in sections above. | |
On December 7, 2006, the Company and its subsidiaries Emtec NJ, Emtec LLC, and Westwood, (collectively, “the Borrower”), entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with De Lage Landen Financial Services, Inc. (the “Lender”) pursuant to which the Lender has agreed to provide the Borrower a revolving credit loan and floorplan loan (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility provides for aggregate borrowings of the lesser of $32.0 million or 85% of Borrower’s eligible accounts receivable, plus 100% of unsold inventory financed by the Lender, minus $5.0 million reserve. The floor plan loan portion of the Credit Facility is for the purchase of inventory from approved vendors and for other business purposes. The Credit Facility subjects the Borrower to mandatory repayments upon the occurrence of certain events as set forth in the New Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility will bear interest at an annual rate equal to the rate of interest published in the “Money Rates” section of the Wall Street Journal minus 0.5% for revolving credit loans. Floorplan loans shall not bear interest until the Borrower is in default unless a floorplan loan is unsubsidized then such floorplan loan will accrue interest once made at the rate agreed to by the parties. Interest on outstanding floorplan loans accrues per annum at the rate of 2.5% in excess of the interest rate published in the “Money Rates” section of the Wall Street Journal.
To secure the payment of the obligations under the Credit Facility, the Borrower granted to the Lender a security interest in all of Borrower’s interests in certain of its assets, including inventory, equipment, fixtures, accounts, chattel paper, instruments, deposit accounts, documents, general intangibles, letter of credits rights, and all judgments, claims and insurance policies.
26
In addition, the Lender and MRA Systems, Inc. (dba GE Access), one of our trade creditors, entered into an intercreditor agreement in which the Lender agreed to give GE Access a first lien position on all future unbilled service maintenance billings and which provide that, as regards to GE Access, all debt obligations to the Lender are accorded priority.
Simultaneous with the execution of the Credit Facility, the Borrower terminated its Business Financing Agreement and Wholesale Financing Agreement with GE Commercial Distribution Finance Corporation and satisfied all outstanding obligations under those agreements.
As of February 28, 2007, we had $8.39 million outstanding balance under the revolving portion of our Credit Facility, and an $885,677 outstanding (included in the Company’s accounts payable) outstanding balance plus $860,300 in open approvals under the floor plan portion of Credit Facility with the Lender. Net availability of $4.71 million was available under the accounts receivable Credit Facility, and $17.15 million was available under the floor plan portion Credit Facility as of February 28, 2007.
As of February 28, 2007, the Company determined that it was in compliance with its financial covenants with the Lender.
As of February 28, 2007, we had outstanding balances under our open term credit facilities with our primary trade vendors, including aggregators and manufacturers, of approximately $32.7 million with outstanding principal of approximately $15.1 million. Under these lines, we are typically obligated to pay each invoice within 30-45 days from the date of such invoice. These credit lines could be reduced or eliminated without notice and this action could have material adverse affect our business, result of operations, and financial condition.
Capital expenditures of $438,096 during the six months ended February 28, 2007 related primarily to the purchase of computer equipment for internal use, the purchase of software licenses and integration related costs to upgrade our accounting systems. We anticipate our capital expenditures for our fiscal year ending August 31, 2007 will be approximately $650,000, of which approximately $450,000 will be for the upgrade of our organizational computer system, including the implementation and data conversion costs, and the remaining $200,000 will primarily be for the purchase of computer equipment for internal use.
We anticipate that our primary sources of liquidity in fiscal year 2007 will be cash generated from operations, trade vendor credit and cash available to us under our Credit Facility. Our future financial performance will depend on our ability to continue to reduce and manage operating expenses as well as our ability to grow revenues. Any loss of clients, whether due to price competition or technological advances, will have an adverse affect on our revenues and gross profit. Our future financial performance could be negatively affected by unforeseen factors and unplanned expenses. See “Forward Looking Statements” and “Business – Risk Factors” discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2006.
We have no arrangements or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that are reasonably likely to materially affect liquidity or the availability of or requirements for capital resources.
27
We believe that funds generated from operations, trade vendor credit and bank borrowings should be sufficient to meet our current operating cash requirements through the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that all of the aforementioned sources of cash can be realized.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles that are generally accepted in the United States. The methods, estimates, and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements. The Securities and Exchange Commission has defined critical accounting policies as policies that involve critical accounting estimates that require (i) management to make assumptions that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and (ii) different estimates that could have been reasonably used for the current period, or changes in the estimates that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, which would have a material impact on the presentation of our financial condition, changes in financial condition or in result of operations. Based on this definition, our most critical policies include: revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation reserve, the assessment of recoverability of long-lived assets, the assessment of recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets, rebates, and income taxes.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue from the sales of products when risk of loss and title passes which is upon client acceptance.
Revenue from the sale of warranties and support service contracts is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Technical Bulleting No. 90-1,Accounting for Separately Priced Extended Warranty and Product Maintenance Contracts (“FTB 90-1”).
We may also enter into sales arrangements with clients that contain multiple elements. We recognize revenue from sale arrangements that contain both products and manufacturer warranties in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”, based on the relative fair value of the individual components. The relative fair value of individual components is based on historical sales of the components sold separately.
Product revenue represents sales of computer hardware and pre-packaged software. These arrangements often include software installations, configurations, and imaging, along with delivery and set-up of hardware. We follow the criteria contained in EITF 00-21 and Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104 in recognizing revenue associated with these transactions. We perform software installations, configurations and imaging services at our locations prior to the delivery of the product. Some client arrangements include “set-up” services performed at client locations where our personnel perform the routine tasks of removing the equipment from boxes, and setting up the equipment at client workstations by plugging in all necessary connections. This service is usually performed the same day as delivery. Revenue is recognized on the date of acceptance, except as follows:
• | In some instances, the “set-up” service is performed after date of delivery. We recognize revenue for the “hardware” component at date of delivery when the amount of revenue allocable to this component is not contingent upon the completion of “set-up” services and, therefore, our client has agreed that the transaction is complete as to the “hardware” | |
28
component. In instances where our client does not accept delivery until “set-up” services are completed, we defer all revenue in the transaction until client acceptance occurs. | ||
• | There are occasions when a client requests a transaction on a “bill & hold” basis. We follow the SAB 104 criteria and recognize revenue from these sales prior to date of physical delivery only when all the criteria of SAB 104 are met. We do not modify our normal billing and credit terms for these customers. The customer is invoiced at the date of revenue recognition when all of the criteria have been met. | |
We have experienced minimal customer returns. Since all eligible products must be returned to us within 30 days from the date of the invoice, we reduce the product revenue and cost of goods in each accounting period based on the actual returns that occurred in the next 30 days after the close of the accounting period.
Service and consulting revenue include time billings based upon billable hours charged to the clients, fixed price short-term projects, hardware maintenance contracts, and manufacturer support service contracts. These contracts generally are task specific and do not involve multiple deliverables. Revenues from time billings are recognized as services are delivered. Revenues from short-term fixed price projects are recognized using the proportionate performance method by determining the level of service performed based upon the amount of labor cost incurred on the project versus the total labor costs to perform the project because this is the most readily reliable measure of output. Revenues from hardware maintenance contracts are recognized ratably over the contract period.
Revenues from manufacturer support service contracts where the manufacturer is responsible for fulfilling the service requirements of the client are recognized immediately on their contract sale date. Manufacturer support service contracts contain cancellation privileges that allow our clients to terminate a contract with 90 days written notice. In this event, the client is entitled to a pro-rated refund based on the remaining term of the contract, and we would owe the manufacturer a pro-rated refund of the cost of the contract. However, we have experienced no client cancellations of any significance during our most recent 3-year history and do not expect cancellations of any significance in the future.
Trade Receivables
We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our clients to make required payments. We base our estimates on the aging of our accounts receivable balances and our historical write-off experience, net of recoveries. If the financial condition of our clients were to deteriorate, additional allowances may be required. We believe the accounting estimate related to the allowance for doubtful accounts is a “critical accounting estimate” because changes in it can significantly affect net income.
Inventories
Inventory is stated at the lower of average cost (specific identification) or market. Inventory is entirely finished goods purchased for resale and consists of computer hardware, computer software, computer peripherals and related supplies. We provide an inventory reserve for products we determine are obsolete or where salability has deteriorated based on management’s review of products and sales.
29
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
We have adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”). As a result, amortization of goodwill was discontinued. Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a business combination accounted for under the purchase method. We test goodwill and indefinite-lived assets for impairment at least annually in accordance with SFAS 142.
Intangible assets at February 28, 2007 and August 31, 2006 consisted of the value ascribed to customer relationships. The assets ascribed to customer relationships are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 13 to 15 years. Intangible assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” Recoverability of long-lived assets is assessed by a comparison of the carrying amount to the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If estimated undiscounted future net cash flows are less than the carrying amount, the asset is considered impaired and a loss would be recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset.
Rebates
Rebates are recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of income as a reduction of the cost of revenues in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Abstract No. 02-16,Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor (EITF 02-16).
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, we generally consider all expected future events other than the enactment of changes in tax laws or rates. A valuation allowance is recognized if, on weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Information About Market Risk
We do not engage in trading market risk sensitive instruments and do not purchase hedging instruments or “other than trading” instruments that are likely to expose us to market risk, whether interest rate, foreign currency exchange, commodity price or equity price risk. We have issued no debt instruments, entered into no forward or future contracts, purchased no options and entered into no swaps. Our primary market risk exposures are those of interest rate fluctuations. A change in interest rates would affect the rate at which we could borrow funds under our revolving credit facility. Our balance on the line of credit at February 28, 2007 was approximately $8.39 million. Assuming no material increase or decrease in such balance, a one percent change in the interest rate would change our interest expense by approximately $83,900 annually.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of February 28, 2007. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving the stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
(b) There has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended February 28, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K includes a detailed discussion of our risk factors. The information presented below amends, updates and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors and information disclosed under Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2006. .
We may not generate profits in the future and we had net loss in recent quarter.
For the three months ended February 28, 2007, we incurred operating loss of $4.17 million. Continuing net operating losses may limit our ability to service our debt and fund our operations and we may not generate net income from operations in the future. Factors contributing to operating loss in recent quarter included, but were not limited to, lower gross profits due to continuous IT spending slow-down in various governmental and educational entities; less manufacturer rebates and incentives; competitive pressure; aggressive pricing strategies; lower utilization of our technical engineers; potential merger related costs; and amended employment agreements and management agreement charges we incurred during this quarter. These and other factors may adversely affect our ability to generate profits in the future.
Continuous operating losses in future quarters could result in impairment of Goodwill.
Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets of acquired companies. Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and as a result, goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. We have set an annual impairment testing date of June 1. An impairment charge will be recognized only when the implied fair value of a reporting unit, including goodwill, is less than its carrying amount.
Emtec has been designated as a single reporting unit for financial reporting purposes. We perform an impairment test based on a market approach that uses our market capitalization at that date as the fair value of the Company. Under this method, we compare the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value inclusive of goodwill. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value there is no impairment and no further analysis is necessary. If we continue to have operating losses and fail to have market acceptance, or the market conditions in the stock market causes our market valuation to decline, we may incur charges for impairment of goodwill.
