Segment Reporting
The Company divides its operating activity into two operating segments for reporting purposes: Emtec Infrastructure Services Division (“EIS”) and Emtec Global Services Division (“EGS”). EIS consists of the Company’s historical business (“Systems Division”) which includes Emtec NJ, Emtec LLC, Emtec Federal and the business service management solutions offered by the Information Technology Service Management (“ITSM”) practice. EGS is the Company’s enterprise applications services solutions and training business including its Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) and Application Development practice and its Business Analysis and Quality Assurance Practice.
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 of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, including, but not limited to, receivable and inventory 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 materially from those estimates.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets of acquired companies. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended May 31, 2010, by reportable segments are as follows (in thousands):
EIS | EGS | Total | ||||||||||
Balance at August 31, 2009 | $ | 9,683 | $ | 1,741 | $ | 11,424 | ||||||

KOAN-IT Corp: The contingent payment of $316,000 for the first year anniversary of closing to the former shareholders of KOAN-IT was accrued in the three months ended May 31, 2010, and paid in June 2010. This contingent payment is treated as additional purchase price and increased goodwill.
Luceo, Inc.: The contingent payment of $290,000 for the second year anniversary of closing to Mr. Natarajan was accrued in the three months ended May 31, 2010, and paid in June 2010. This contingent payment is treated as additional purchase price and increased goodwill.
SARK Infotech Private Limited: On April 1, 2010, Emtec India acquired certain assets of SARK Infotech Private Limited (“SARK”), a software consulting company based in Mumbai, India. The Company recorded $277,000 in goodwill during this quarter from this acquisition.

In accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 350 “Intangibles- Goodwill and Other,” 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. Goodwill is tested for impairment at one level below an operating segment (also known as a component) in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 350. These reporting units are comprised of Systems Division, KOAN-IT, Luceo and eBAS/Aveeva. The Company has 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. The impairment determination is made at the reporting unit level and consists of two steps. First, the Company determines the fair value of the reporting unit and compares it to its carrying amount. Second, if the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation, in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations.” The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill.
The following table presents a summary of the Company’s goodwill by reporting unit at May 31, 2010, as well as critical assumptions used in the valuation of the reporting units at June 1, 2009, the Company’s annual testing date:

At the last annual impairment testing date of June 1, 2009, the Company’s market capitalization was less than its carrying value. Since the Company’s stock does not trade frequently and with the stock price being volatile, management believes that other valuation methods are more appropriate to reflect the fair value of the Company. Accordingly, the Company determined the fair value of its Systems Division reporting unit using an equally weighted combination of the discounted cash flow and guideline company valuation approaches. For the Company’s remaining reporting units (Luceo, eBAS/Aveeva and KOAN-IT), fair value was determined using the discounted cash flow valuation approach, as in the Company’s opinion, this method currently results in the most accurate calculation of fair value for these reporting units. The rationale for relying solely on one valuation approach for these reporting units was that these reporting units were all acquired by the Company within the last two years (as of August 31, 2009) and have relatively brief operating histories from which to base a comparison to publicly traded companies under the guideline company valuation approach.
6
Determining the fair value of a reporting unit requires judgment and the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions include revenue growth rates, operating margins, discount rates, weighted average costs of capital and views on future market conditions, among others. We believe that the estimates and assumptions used in our impairment assessments are reasonable and based on available market information, but variations in any of the assumptions could result in materially different calculations of fair value and determinations of whether or not an impairment is indicated. As part of this analysis, the Company engaged an external valuation firm to review and validate the Company’s impairment analysis to value its goodwill.
Under the discounted cash flow method, the Company determined fair value based on the estimated future cash flows of each reporting unit, discounted to present value using risk-adjusted discount rates, which reflect the overall level of inherent risk of a reporting unit and the rate of return an outside investor would expect to earn. Cash flow projections are derived from budgeted amounts and operating forecasts (typically a five-year model) plus an estimate of later period cash flows, all of which are developed by the Company. Subsequent period cash flows are developed for each reporting unit using growth rates that the Company believes are reasonably likely to occur along with a terminal value derived from the reporting unit’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”).
Under the guideline company approach, the Company determined the estimated fair value of its Systems Division by comparison to prices paid for similar companies. The search for guideline companies began with examination of reporting public companies, which were in similar businesses as the Systems Division. From this list, we identified companies that were similar to the Systems Division business characteristics with regard to product offerings, services performed, growth rates, profitability and size in terms of assets held and volume of sales. This approach to value is based on the premise that prices paid for the stock of one company can provide an indication of what a willing buyer would pay for the stock of another company sharing similar characteristics. More specifically, this approach involves establishing relationships between the price for shares of similar public companies and certain benchmarks such as revenues, earnings, earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) and EBITDA, net income or book value. In valuing the Systems Division, the Company utilized the multiples of market value of capital (“MVC”) divided by revenue and MVC/EBITDA of the selected guideline companies. These multiples were applied to the System Division’s operating results for the twelve months ended May 31, 2009 in order to derive a fair value under the guideline company approach.
One of the key assumptions in the five-year budgets, which are the basis of the discounted cash flow approach, is the projected revenue growth of each reporting unit. For each reporting unit, the Company has based its estimate of projected revenue growth on forecasted revenue growth on a macro-level (IT industry and overall US economy) and micro-level (purchasing patterns for specific customers). For other assumptions in the five-year forecasts, the Company projected gross profit margins at close to historical levels, investments in variable selling and management overhead costs to support revenue growth and increased fixed operating costs at the rate of inflation. To the extent forecasted revenue is not met for a reporting unit, the Company still has the ability to achieve forecasted profitability (EBITDA) by controlling its cost structure. Annual revenue growth for each reporting unit is forecasted to be at a higher level in the initial five-year operating forecast and is gradually decreased to the terminal value growth rate for the remaining years under the cash flow approach.
7
Key assumptions in the discounted cash flow approach include the discount rate and terminal growth rate. The discount rate, which is specific to each reporting unit and is used to determine the present value of future debt-free net cash flow stream, is a blended rate combining required rates of return on debt and equity instruments with comparable risk characteristics. Using such a blended rate appropriately reflects the cost of the debt and equity investment forming the capital of an enterprise, whereas the terminal growth rate at the end of the discrete projection period is determined by using the Constant Growth Valuation Model. The Constant Growth Valuation Model is based on the assumption that the specific reporting unit will undergo a steady long-term rate of growth in earnings and that the investor purchasing the business has a required rate of return he is willing to accept for his investment. It assumes a continuing growth in cash flow per annum into perpetuity (consistent with expected real annual growth rate of Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) plus inflation for the foreseeable future).
The Company examined the sensitivity of the fair values of its Systems Division reporting unit by reviewing other scenarios relative to the initial assumptions it used to see if the resulting impact on fair value would have resulted in a different step one conclusion. Accordingly, the Company performed sensitivity analyses based on a more conservative annual revenue growth in years 1–5 of the discounted cash flow approach. In the first sensitivity analysis, the Company lowered the revenue growth in years 1- 5 of the discounted cash flow approach by one-third (holding all other critical assumptions constant), while in the second sensitivity analysis; the Company lowered the revenue growth by two-thirds in years 1–5 of the discounted cash flow approach (holding all other critical assumptions constant). None of the outcomes of the sensitivity analyses performed impacted the Company’s step one conclusion. It should be noted that Company did not perform sensitivity analyses on the other reporting units given the relative value of goodwill and the percentage of the reporting unit’s fair value that was in excess of its carrying value.
While the Company has determined the estimated fair values of its reporting units to be appropriate based on the forecasted level of revenue growth, net income and cash flows, in the current market environment it is a reasonable possibility that one of our reporting units may become impaired in future periods as there can be no assurance that the Company’s estimates and assumptions made for purposes of its goodwill impairment testing as of June 1, 2009 will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. Our use of the term "reasonable possibility" refers to a potential occurrence that is more than remote, but less than probable in the Company’s judgment. If the Company’s assumptions, including forecasted revenue growth rates are not achieved, the Company may be required to record goodwill impairment charges in future periods. Potential events and/or changes in circumstances that could reasonably be expected to negatively impact the key assumptions and affect the recovery of our goodwill include:
● | The Company’s revenues are derived from a few major clients, the loss of any of which could cause its results of operations to be adversely affected. A large portion of the Company’s revenues are drawn from various civilian and military U.S. governmental departments and agencies and local school districts. The following factors could have a material negative impact on the Company’s business. |
o | seasonality of federal government and education related business makes future financial results less predictable; and |
o | due to its dependence on governments and local school districts demand for IT products, a material decline in overall sales to the government as a whole, or to a certain key agency thereof, and/or the education sector could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations. |
8
● | The Company’s success in increasing the portion of its revenues derived from IT services and consulting. If the Company is unsuccessful, it future results may be adversely affected. The Company’s transition from an emphasis on IT product sales to an emphasis on providing IT services and consulting has placed significant demands on its managerial, administrative and operational resources. The Company’s ability to manage this transition effectively is dependent upon its ability to develop and improve operational, financial, and other internal systems, as well as its business development capabilities, and to attract, train, retain, motivate and manage our employees. If the Company is unable to do so, it ability to effectively deliver and support its services may be adversely affected. |
● | The Company’s inability to maintain high personnel-utilization rates may adversely impact its profit. The most significant cost relating to the services component of the Company’s business is personnel expense, which consists of salaries, benefits and payroll related expenses. Thus, the financial performance of the Company’s service business is based primarily upon billing margins (billable hourly rates less the costs to us of service personnel on an hourly basis) and utilization rates (billable hours divided by paid hours). The future success of the services component of the Company’s business will depend in large part upon our ability to maintain high utilization rates at profitable billing margins. |
● | The Company’s revenues and expenses are unpredictable. A decrease in revenues or increase in expenses could materially adversely affect its operating results. The Company’s operating results have been, and will continue to be, impacted by changes in technical personnel billing and utilization rates. Moreover, the Company expects that downward pricing pressure will persist due to the continued commoditization of computer products. Further, there are numerous other factors, which are not within the Company’s control that can contribute to fluctuations in our operating results, including the following: |
o | patterns of capital spending by clients; |
o | the timing, size, and mix of product and service orders and deliveries; |

At May 31, 2010, Emtec's market capitalization was greater than its total stockholders' equity. However, the Company’s stock does not trade frequently and thus management believes the inherent value of the Company is not and has not been accurately reflected by the current or historical stock market valuation of the Company. Accordingly, the Company continues to believe that the income and market-based approaches are the most appropriate valuation methods.
In accordance with ASC 350, the Company is performing its annual impairment testing as of June 1, 2010 with the assistance of an external valuation firm. The Company does not currently believe that there is an indication of goodwill impairment at May 31, 2010. However, if current market conditions change and the Company’s estimated value under the income and market-based approaches is affected, then it is possible that the Company may have to take a goodwill impairment charge against earnings in a future period.

Identifiable Intangible Assets
At May 31, 2010 and August 31, 2009, the components of identifiable intangible assets are as follows (in thousands):

Balance, ending | $ | 10,072 | $ | 11,235 |
Customer relationships represent the fair value ascribed to customer relationships purchased in 2005, the acquisitions of Luceo and eBAS/Aveeva in fiscal 2008, the acquisition of KOAN-IT in fiscal 2009, and the acquisition of certain assets from SARK in April 2010 by Emtec India. The amounts ascribed to customer relationships are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 3-15 years.
Noncompete agreements represent the value ascribed to covenants not to compete in employment and acquisition agreements with certain members of Luceo, eBAS/Aveeva and KOAN-IT’s management entered into at the time of the respective acquisitions. The amounts ascribed to noncompete agreements are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years.
Software technology represents the value ascribed to software developed by SARK, which was acquired by Emtec India in April 2010.
Trademarks represent the value ascribed to trade name and trademarks owned by KOAN-IT and SARK. The amounts ascribed to trademarks are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 3-5 years.
Amortization expense related to intangible assets was $410,000 and $469,000, for the three months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $1.2 million and $1.1 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We currently expect future amortization for the next four years ending August 31, 2010 through 2013 will be approximately $1.6 million per year and for the fiscal year ending 2014 will be approximately $937,000.
Long-lived assets, including customer relationships and property and equipment, are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 350 “Intangibles- Goodwill and Other” and ASC 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment.” 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. No impairment of long-lived assets occurred during nine months ended May 31, 2010 or 2009.

Foreign Currency Translation and Other Comprehensive Income (loss)
The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are remeasured into U.S. dollars for consolidation and reporting purposes. The functional currency for the Company’s foreign operations is the local currency. Current rates of exchange are used to remeasure assets and liabilities. Adjustments to translate those statements into U.S. dollars are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
The Company’s comprehensive income (in thousands) is presented in the following table:

Total comprehensive income | $ | (23 | ) | $ | 484 | $ | 588 | $ | 1,068 |
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.
The computation of diluted earnings per share is 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, restricted stock awards and warrants had been exercised as of the end of the period. Potentially dilutive shares consist of stock options, restricted stock awards and warrants totaling 378,916 and 259,041, for the three months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and 187,307 and 254,503 for the nine months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Diluted shares for the three months ended May 31, 2010 were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because the effect of the inclusion would be anti-dilutive. In addition, outstanding warrants to purchase 1,764,437 and 1,688,354 common shares as of and for the periods ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common shares over those periods.
Income Taxes and Due to Former Stockholders
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 "Income Taxes." The Company files a federal consolidated tax return that includes all U.S. entities. The Company also files several combined/consolidated state tax returns and several separate state tax returns. Deferred taxes are provided based upon a review of the tax basis of assets and liabilities, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are recognized for tax loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. Deferred taxes result from timing differences primarily relating to bad debts, inventory reserves, deferred revenue, fixed asset depreciation, compensation expenses and intangible asset amortization.

In October 2008, the Company settled the August 2003 and April 2004 tax audits of Emtec Federal, formerly known as Westwood Computer Corporation (“Westwood”), with the Appeals Office of the IRS. The settlement agreement resulted in an additional federal income tax payment of $145,000, which included interest of $41,000. The Company has filed 2003 and 2004 amended New Jersey income tax returns to pay additional New Jersey taxes that resulted from the IRS settlement. The accounting to record the settlements of these pre-merger tax liabilities under ASC 740 resulted in adjustments to goodwill and to deferred tax assets. Since the Westwood merger agreement included indemnification coverage by Westwood’s former stockholders, the Company recorded a receivable “due from the Westwood former stockholders” of $631,000. The $631,000 included pre-merger tax liabilities totaling $361,000 plus associated professional fees to defend the Company’s tax positions totaling $270,000. The $361,000 portion of the Company’s indemnity claim was recorded as a reduction to goodwill acquired in the April 2004 Westwood merger. The remaining $270,000 portion was recorded as a reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses during the three months ended November 30, 2008.
The “due from Westwood former stockholders” receivable was satisfied during October 2008, based on offsetting amounts “due to Westwood former stockholders” totaling $631,000. The amounts “due to Westwood former stockholders” represented funds we held as unclaimed merger consideration.
We conduct business nationally and, as a result, file income tax returns in the U.S federal jurisdiction and various state and local jurisdictions. With a few exceptions, we are no longer subject to federal, state or local income tax examinations for tax returns filed for fiscal years 2005 and prior.

Subsequent Events
On June 4, 2010, Emtec Federal, Secure Data Inc,(“SDI”) and the stockholders of SDI entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement. The Company previously filed details on this acquisition on the Form 8-K, dated June 10, 2010.
3. Stock-Based Compensation
Stock Options
An amendment to the Company’s 2006 Stock-Based Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2006 Plan”) was approved by the Company’s stockholders on February 2, 2009. The 2006 Plan authorizes the granting of stock options to directors and eligible employees. The amendment increased the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available under the 2006 Plan from 1,400,000 shares to 2,543,207 shares eligible for issuance 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 stockholders owning more than 10% of the Company’s common stock). Options under the 2006 Plan have terms from 7 to 10 years and certain options vest immediately and others through a term up to 4-5 years.
The Company measures the fair value of options on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Company estimated the expected volatility using the Company’s historical stock price data over the expected term of the stock options. The Company also used historical exercise patterns and forfeiture behaviors to estimate the options, expected term and our forfeiture rate. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve in effect on the grant date. Both expected volatility and the risk-free interest rate are based on a period that approximates the expected term.
A summary of stock options for the nine months ended May 31, 2010 is as follows:
For the Nine Months Ended May 31, 2010 | Shares | Weighted Average Exercise Price | Weighted Average Remaining Term | Aggregate Intrinsic Value * | |||||||

(a) | The fair value of vested restricted stock shares represents the total pre-tax fair value, based on the closing stock price on the day of vesting, which would have been received by holders of restricted stock shares had all such holders sold their underlying shares on that date. |
(b) | The aggregate fair value of the nonvested restricted stock shares expected to vest represents the total pre-tax fair value, based on the Company’s closing stock price as of May 31, 2010 which would have been received by holders of restricted stock shares had all such holders sold their underlying shares on that date. |
The Company recognizes compensation expense associated with the issuance of such shares using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board on the date of grant over the vesting period on a straight-line basis.
Stock Options and Nonvested Stock
Stock-based compensation costs related to the 2006 Plan totaled $118,000 and $3,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $393,000 and $87,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. As of May 31, 2010, the Company had $601,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to the 2006 Plan. The unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining period of 3 years.

4. Warrants
On August 5, 2005, the Company issued certain stockholders stock warrants that evidence the obligation of the Company to issue a variable number of shares, in the aggregate, equal to 10% of then 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 $3.7 million. 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 1,764,437 and 1,688,354 shares, with an exercise price of $2.09 and $2.19 per share, as of May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The outstanding warrants were anti-dilutive for the nine months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009 because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common shares.
Effective as of September 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which includes the applicable authoritative literature relating to the recording and disclosure of warrants, formerly included in EITF 07-05, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock.” The adoption of these standards related to the above mentioned warrants was not recorded in the financial statements because the Company determined that the impact was not material at the adoption date as of September 1, 2009 and subsequent reporting periods.
5. Line of Credit
The Company, Emtec NJ, Emtec LLC, Emtec Federal, Emtec Global, Luceo, eBAS, and Aveeva (collectively, the “Borrower”), have a Loan and Security Agreement with De Lage Landen Financial Services, Inc. (the “Lender”) pursuant to which the Lender provides the Borrower with a revolving credit loan and floor plan 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. 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.
On December 5, 2008, the Borrower entered into a First Amendment and Joinder to Loan and Security Agreement and Schedule to Loan and Security Agreement (the “First Amendment”) with the Lender, pursuant to which the Lender extended the term of the loans issued to the Borrower under the Loan and Security Agreement from December 7, 2008 until December 7, 2010 and made certain other amendments to the Loan and Security Agreement, including the following:
§ | The First Amendment changed the base rate of interest to the three month (90 day) LIBOR rate from the previous base rate of the “Prime Rate.” |
§ | The First Amendment changed the interest rate for revolving credit loans to the base rate plus 3.25% from the previous interest rate for revolving credit loans which was the base rate minus 0.5%, and changed the interest rate for floorplan loans, if applicable, to 6.25% in excess of the base rate from the previous interest rate for floorplan loans of 2.5% in excess of the base rate. |
§ | The First Amendment amended the Schedule to provide that the Borrower must pay the Lender a floorplan annual volume commitment fee if the aggregate amount of all floorplan loans does not equal or exceed $60.0 million in a 12-month period from December 1st through November 30th. The floorplan commitment fee is equal to the amount that the floorplan usage during such 12-month period is less than $60.0 million multiplied by 1%. If the Borrower terminates the Credit Facility during a 12-month period, the Borrower shall be required to pay the Lender a prorated portion of the annual volume commitment fee. |
15
The Company had balances of $13.8 million and $9.0 million outstanding under the revolving portion of the Credit Facility, and balances of $2.8 million and $5.4 million (included in the Company’s accounts payable) outstanding plus $1.3 million and $321,000 in open approvals under the floor plan portion of the Credit Facility at May 31, 2010 and August 31, 2009, respectively. Net availability was $5.2 million and $11.9 million under the revolving portion of the Credit Facility, and additionally $8.8 million and $5.4 million was available under the floor plan portion of the Credit Facility as of May 31, 2010 and August 31, 2009, respectively.
As of May 31, 2010, the Company determined that it was in compliance with its financial covenants under the Credit Facility.

10. Legal Proceedings
In December 2007, the Company received a subpoena issued by the GSA Office of Inspector General ("OIG"), apparently as part of an ongoing, industry-wide investigation. The Company produced documents and data in response to the subpoena to the OIG during 2008. In September 2009, the Company, along with several other prominent IT companies, was served with a qui tam lawsuit entitled Christopher Crennen, et al. v. Dell Marketing, et al., which was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The lawsuit alleged violations of the False Claims Act relating to the Company's obligations under the Buy American Act and the Trade Agreements Act. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit on November 13, 2009, on the grounds that the amended complaint failed to comply with Rules 9(b) and 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. On April 27, 2010, the District Court granted the motion and dismissed the amended complaint with prejudice. The relator did not file a notice of appeal and, as such, the case is closed.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the unaudited financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements |
You should carefully review the information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in other reports or documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains our beliefs regarding future events and our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify those so-called “forward-looking statements” by words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of those words and other comparable words. You should be aware that those statements are only our predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to forward-looking statements after the date of this report. In evaluating those statements, you should specifically consider various factors, including the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2009 and other reports or documents that we file from time to time with the SEC. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or a person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.
Assumptions relating to budgeting, marketing, and other management decisions are subjective in many respects and thus susceptible to interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments, the impact of which may cause us to alter our marketing, capital expenditure or other budgets, which may in turn affect our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Overview of Emtec
We are a systems integrator providing IT services and products to the federal, state and local government, education and commercial markets. We help our clients identify and prioritize areas for improvement and then implement process, technology and business application improvements that reduce costs, improve service and align the delivery of IT with the needs of their organizations. Our value based management methods, coupled with IT technology, consulting and development services, allow us to address a wide range of specific client needs, as well as support broader IT transformation initiatives. Our client base is comprised of departments of federal, state and local governments in the United States and Canada and schools and commercial businesses throughout the United States and Canada.
On a consolidated basis for the three months ended May 31, 2010, our total revenue increased by $4.3 million or 8.7%, our gross profit increased by $435,000 or 5.7% and our operating income decreased by $544,000, compared with the three months ended May 31, 2009. For the nine months ended May 31, 2010, our total revenue increased by $2.0 million or 1.2%, our gross profit increased by $2.0 million or 8.7% and our operating income decreased by $871,000. This decrease is mainly due to decreases in our commercial and state and local government business. In 2009, we embarked upon cost cutting initiatives to stabilize the profitability of our business and to focus more on selling services. While our sales into federal and education clients have continued to improve, our commercial and state and local government business has declined due to a slow economic recovery which has prevented us from attracting new profitable customers, who purchase procurement services.
21
Management’s analysis concluded that we were profitable in the commercial and state and local government business only when customers were of sufficient scale in purchasing procurement services. Management also analyzed the impact of investing in this business and concluded that investment in growth should be focused on our consulting services in the commercial sector. Since our analysis showed that the current level of gross profit from this sector is insufficient to cover the costs of the selling general and administrative expenses for the sector management reduced expenses in April of 2010. From April 2010 thru June 2010, the Company eliminated approximately $2.1 million in annualized costs as a result of this restructuring. Management is now focusing its efforts on attracting talent to our higher gross margin consulting practices in the commercial sector, which may increase our costs in servicing commercial clients in the future. In addition, the Company continues to invest in new growth initiatives, including the executive management team, professional recruiting fees, and merger and acquisition expenses. We intend for our investments to increase higher margin services and consulting revenues and improve our profitability in future quarters.
Our gross profit can be impacted by various factors including changes in mix of products and services sold, changes in technical employee utilization rates, changes in the billing rates, the mix of client type and the decision to aggressively price certain products and services.
Factors that may in the future have a negative impact on our selling, general and administrative expenses for both divisions include costs associated with marketing and selling activities, potential merger and acquisition related costs, technological improvement costs, compliance costs associated with SEC rules and increases in our insurance costs.
We have divided our operating activity into two operating segments for reporting purposes: EIS and EGS. EIS consists of the Company’s historical business, which we refer to as the Systems Division, and the business service management solutions offered by the ITSM practice. EGS is the Company’s enterprise applications services solutions and training business including its ERP and Application Development practice and its Business Analysis and Quality Assurance Practice. As our business evolves, including based on our recent experience with cross selling services between these two divisions, we will continue to reassess our segment reporting structure in accordance with ASC 280, “Segment Reporting.”

We currently categorize our revenues and costs of sales into “Procurement Services” and “Services and Consulting.” We have made the categorizations in order to analyze our growth in consulting and other services as a percentage of our overall revenues. We have divided our business into two segments. EIS provides a broad range of IT infrastructure services for our clients. These services are focused on improving the value IT assets provide to an organization, and to reduce the costs of these assets. EGS was formed to provide IT application consulting and other services. These services typically include business process improvement through the use of technology. Our consultants are skilled in a wide array of technologies in this segment.

We discuss the results of each segment below.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended May 31, 2010 and 2009 - EIS
Revenues - EIS
EIS division’s total revenues increased $5.3 million, or 13.0%, to $45.8 million for the three months ended May 31, 2010, compared to $40.5 million for the three months ended May 31, 2009.
Procurement services revenue increased $4.2 million, or 11.9%, to $39.5 million for the three months ended May 31, 2010, compared to $35.3 million for the three months ended May 31, 2009. This increase is primarily attributable to various IT projects for various departments of the U.S. government, which is partially offset by the reduction in our commercial business and state and local government business and a deferral of some projects to future quarters from our education business. There has been continued decrease in business from our commercial and state and local government clients. We believe that this decrease in commercial business can be attributed to the current general economic downturn.
Services and consulting revenue increased $1.0 million, or 20.0%, to $6.2 million for the three months ended May 31, 2010, compared to $5.2 million for the three months ended May 31, 2009. This increase is mainly attributable to various IT projects for school districts and various departments of the U.S. government during the three months ended May 31, 2010.
Our EIS division’s revenues, by client type, are comprised of the following (in thousands):
For the Three Months Ended | ||||||||||||||||

Total Revenues | $ | 45,791 | 100.0 | % | $ | 40,534 | 100.0 | % |
During the three months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, U.S. governmental department and agency related revenues represented approximately 49.0% and 28.9% of total EIS division’s revenues, respectively. Revenues from various civilian and military U.S. governmental departments and agencies increased by approximately $10.7 million during the three months ended May 31, 2010 compared with the three months ended May 31, 2009. This increase is primarily attributable to various IT projects for various departments of the U.S. government during the three months ended May 31, 2010.
Our state and local government business remains uncertain due to the tight budgetary pressures within governmental agencies primarily in the State of New Jersey.
Revenues from commercial clients decreased by approximately $1.6 million during the three months ended May 31, 2010 compared with the three months ended May 31, 2009. This decrease is mainly due to the general economic downturn that caused reductions in technology and discretionary spending by our commercial clients. We have taken steps in this quarter to reduce our focus on unprofitable commercial clients for the EIS segment.
25
During the three months ended May 31, 2010, revenues from our education business decreased by approximately $3.8 million compared with the three months ended May 31, 2009. This decrease is mainly due to the deferral of IT procurement services projects with school districts during the three months ended May 31, 2010. During our fiscal years 2008 and 2009, we took steps to increase our business with our existing education business customers by outsourcing more of their infrastructure managed services needs and to increase our penetration with additional clients in this market. We believe these steps will increase the amount of long-term recurring revenue we have with these clients.
Gross Profit - EIS
Aggregate gross profit for our EIS division increased $537,000, or 8.7%, to $6.7 million for the three months ended May 31, 2010 as compared to $6.2 million for the three months ended May 31, 2009. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in revenue as discussed in the total revenue section and our continued focus on increasing our services and consulting revenue.
Measured as a percentage of revenues, our gross profit margin for our EIS division decreased to 14.7% of our EIS division’s revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2010 from 15.3% for the three months ended May 31, 2009. This decrease is mainly due to an increase in the aggregate dollar amount of revenue coming from the lower margin procurement services versus our higher margin consulting services and a decrease in our procurement services gross profit margin from 11.7% for the three months ended May 31, 2009 to 11.1% for the three months ended May 31, 2010. We attribute this decrease mainly to pricing pressure. Our services and consulting gross profit margin decreased to 37.4% for the three months ended May 31, 2010 from 39.9% for the three months ended May 31, 2009. This decrease is mainly due to lower utilization of our technical resources that were primarily supporting our commercial business. We have taken steps and aligned our resources in the restructuring of our commercial business. We also recorded some severance costs in the cost of services and consulting in this quarter, which also caused our gross profit margin percentage to decrease.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses -EIS
Selling, general and administrative expenses for our EIS division increased by $779,000, or 15.2% to $5.9 million for the three months ended May 31, 2010, compared to $5.1 million for the three months ended May 31, 2009. This increase is mainly due to increase in expense categories such as compensation expense associated with our investment in new hires, travel, professional fees and severance costs that is partially offset by changes in commission structure. In April 2010, management implemented a cost reduction restructuring in our commercial and state and local government business, which eliminated approximately $2.1 million in annualized costs associated with our commercial state and local government practices. In addition, there were expenses associated with new growth initiatives, which included the hiring of our Executive Vice President of Public Sector, Chief Strategy and Delivery Officer, professional recruiting fees, merger and acquisition expenses related to a recent acquisition, which was completed in March 2010 and stock expense associated investment in executive management team.
26
Rent Expense-Related Party - EIS
We occupy approximately 42,000 square feet of office and warehouse space in Springfield, New Jersey. This space is leased from a limited liability company owned by a certain former director and current officer of the Company and his related family members. The original lease term was through April 2009 with monthly base rent of $15,000. We exercised the option to extend the lease for an additional five-year term through April 2014 with monthly base rent of $18,000. During the three months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, we recorded $52,000 and $47,000, respectively, in expenses under this lease.
We occupy approximately 36,000 square feet of office and warehouse space in a 70,000 square foot building in Suwannee, GA. This space is leased from a limited liability company in which a certain officer of our company is a passive investor with an approximately 10% equity interest. The current lease term is through November 2014 with monthly rent of $21,000. During the three months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, we recorded expense under this lease totaling $50,000 and $47,000, respectively.
Management believes the facilities noted above are being leased at rates consistent with the market rates.
Depreciation and Amortization - EIS
Depreciation and amortization expense for our EIS division decreased by 9.5%, or $39,000, to $371,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2010, compared to $410,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2009.
As of May 31, 2010, intangible assets of the EIS division consisted of: the estimated value ascribed to customer relationships of $9.9 million less accumulated amortization of $3.2 million; the estimated value ascribed to non-competes of $29,000 less accumulated amortization of $8,000; and the estimated value ascribed to trademarks of $175,000 less accumulated amortization of $45,000. As of August 31, 2009 intangible assets of the EIS division consisted of: the estimated value ascribed to customer relationships of $9.9 million less accumulated amortization of $2.5 million; the estimated value ascribed to non-competes of $28,000 less accumulated amortization of $3,000; and the estimated value ascribed to trademarks of $169,000 less accumulated amortization of $19,000. The assets ascribed to customer relationships are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 6 to 15 years and non-compete covenants and trademarks are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years. Amortization expense for the EIS division was $208,000 and $208,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Operating Income - EIS
Operating income for our EIS division for the three months ended May 31, 2010 decreased by 36.1%, or $210,000, to $371,000, compared to operating income of $581,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2009. This decrease in operating income is mainly due to the impact of decreases in revenue associated with our commercial and state and local government business and increased selling, general and administrative expenses as discussed in the sections above.
27
Interest expense - EIS
Interest expense for the EIS division decreased by 18.6%, or $16,000, to $70,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2010, compared to $86,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2009. This is primarily attributable to lower balances on various notes payable and a lower average interest rate charged on the line of credit, which was attributable to a decrease in the prime rate during this period. The average interest rate charged on the line of credit by the Lender was approximately 3.5% and 4.4% for the three months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Provision for income taxes -EIS
We recorded income tax of $138,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2010 as compared to $199,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2009. The effective tax rate was 45.0% for the three months ended May 31, 2010 as compared to 41.3% for the three months ended May 31, 2009. The increase in tax rate was primarily the result of the effect of permanently non-deductible expenses on a smaller pre-tax income base.

Results of Operations –EGS
Most of the clients EGS serves are commercial clients. While our consultants are typically working on long- term projects, we believe that the general economic slowdown has impacted our ability to sell services the way these businesses had typically operated before we acquired them. In addition, it has been our intention to convert these businesses to a new sales model and cross-sell their services across our organization. During 2009, we took steps to add additional sales resources in the U.S., to change our training methodologies of our consultants and to shift recruiting resources to an onshore/offshore model. We have also defined four practices within EGS that we are starting to sell as full service practice offerings using projects as opposed to typical staff augmentation.
The following discussion and analysis provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our Results of Operations for EGS for the three months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended May 31, 2010 and 2009 - EGS
Revenues - EGS
EGS revenue consists of its ERP and Application Development practice and its Business Analysis and Quality Assurance practice. EGS division’s total revenues decreased $970,000, or 11.2%, to $7.7 million for the three months ended May 31, 2010, compared to $8.7 million for the three months ended May 31, 2009. This decline was caused by a 13.9% decrease in hours billed and a 7.2% decrease in the average hourly billing rate during the three months ended May 31, 2010 compared with the corresponding period in 2009. The decrease in billable hours is mainly due to decreases in our Business Analysis and Quality Assurance practices and the decrease in billing rates is due to decreases in both of our ERP and Application Development practice and Business Analysis and Quality Assurance practices. Most of the clients EGS serves are commercial clients and we believe that this decrease in commercial business is primarily attributable to the current general economic downturn and resultant pricing pressures.
Gross Profit - EGS
EGS division’s gross profit decreased $102,000, or 7.0%, to $1.3 million for the three months ended May 31, 2010, compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended May 31, 2009. We believe this decrease is mainly due to the economic downturn as discussed in the Revenue section above.
Measured as percentages of revenue, our gross profit margin for the EGS division increased to 17.4% of our EGS division’s revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2010 from 16.7% for the three months ended May 31, 2009. We believe this increase is primarily attributable to increased billable utilization of our resources and our focus on increasing revenue mix from project based engagements and direct clients rather than indirect channel staffing business, which is lower in margin.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses - EGS
EGS division’s selling, general and administrative expenses increased $266,000, or 24.5%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended May 31, 2010, compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended May 31, 2009. During the three months ended May 31, 2010, we recorded bonus expenses associated with retention bonuses in the amount of $133,000 and a bonus paid in connection with an acquisition agreement in the amount of $121,000. These bonus expenses increased our selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended May 31, 2010 compared with May 31, 2009. The remainder of the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to investments in sales personnel and related expenses.
Rent Expense-Related Party - EGS
We occupy approximately 20,000 square feet of office space in Fremont, CA. This space is leased from the spouse of the President of eBAS/Aveeva. The lease term is for 3 years with monthly base rent of $20,000. In March 2009, we subleased portion of the building for a monthly rent of $3,000 on month-to-month basis, which was terminated effective February 1, 2010. During the three months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, we recorded expense under this lease totaling $60,000 and $52,000, respectively.
30
Management believes the lease noted above is being leased at a rate consistent with the market rate.
Depreciation and Amortization - EGS
EGS division’s depreciation and amortization expense decreased $42,000, or 18.9%, to $180,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2010, compared to $222,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2009. The decrease is mainly due to an adjustment of the useful life of certain assets in the three months ended May 31, 2010, which reduced depreciation expense for the period.
As of May 31, 2010, intangible assets of the EGS division consisted of the estimated value ascribed to customer relationships of $4.2 million less accumulated amortization of $1.4 million, and the estimated value ascribed to non-competes of $370,000 less accumulated amortization of $141,000. As of August 31, 2009, intangible assets of the EGS division consisted of the estimated value ascribed to customer relationships of $4.2 million less accumulated amortization of $820,000, and the estimated value ascribed to non-competes of $370,000 less accumulated amortization of $86,000. The assets ascribed to customer relationships are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 to 9 years and noncompete covenants and trademarks are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years. Amortization expense for the EGS division was $200,000, and $200,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Operating income (loss) -EGS
Operating loss for our EGS division for the three months ended May 31, 2010 was $246,000, compared to operating income of $88,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2009. This decrease in operating income is mainly due to the bonuses and the decreases described in the Revenue, Gross Profit and Selling, General and Administrative sections above.
Interest expense -EGS
Interest expense for our EGS division for the three months ended May 31, 2010 decreased by 34.9%, or $29,000, to $54,000, compared to interest expense of $83,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2009. This is primarily attributable to the absence during the quarter of interest costs related to an 8% subordinated note payable, which was paid in full in September 2009, and a lower average interest rate charged on the line of credit attributable to a decrease in the prime rate during this period. The average interest rate charged on the line of credit by the Lender was approximately 3.5% and 4.4% for the three months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Provision (benefit) for income taxes -EGS
We recorded an income tax benefit of $95,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2010 as compared to income tax expense of $16,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2009. The effective tax benefit rate was 32.0% for the three months ended May 31, 2010 as compared to tax expense rate of 266% for the three months ended May 31, 2009. The higher effective tax rate in the three months ended May 31, 2009 was primarily the result of the effect of permanently non-deductible expenses on a smaller pre-tax income base.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended May 31, 2010 and 2009 - EIS
Revenues – EIS
EIS division’s total revenues increased $7.7 million, or 5.8%, to $140.8 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2010, compared to $133.1 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2009. EIS division’s total revenue includes revenues from the Company’s historical business, which we refer to as the Systems Division, and KOAN-IT, which was acquired on February 12, 2009, and includes the assets of EMS, which were acquired on May 12, 2009. The increase associated with the acquisition of KOAN-IT was $3.7 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2010. This increase is primarily due to comparing nine months of operations ended May 31, 2010 to a shorter stub period in the nine months ended May 31, 2009. Without these acquisitions Systems Division’s revenue increased $4.0 million or 3.0%, to $135.1 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2010, compared to $131.2 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2009.
Procurement services revenue increased $1.1 million, or 0.9%, to $122.2 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2010, compared to $121.1 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2009. This increase is primarily attributable to various IT projects for various departments of the U.S. government, which is offset by the continued decrease in business from our commercial and state and local government clients. We believe that this decrease in commercial business can be attributed to the current general economic downturn and our focus on growing our consulting and services revenue.
Services and consulting revenue increased $6.6 million, or 54.5%, to $18.6 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2010, compared to $12.0 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2009. EIS division’s services and consulting revenue includes revenues from the Company’s historical business, which we refer to as the Systems Division, and KOAN-IT, which was acquired on February 12, 2009, and includes the assets of EMS, which were acquired on May 12, 2009. The increase associated with the acquisition of KOAN-IT was $3.2 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2010. This increase is primarily due to comparing nine months of operations ended May 31, 2010 to a shorter stub period in the nine months ended May 31, 2009. Without these acquisitions Systems Division’s services and consulting revenue increased $3.4 million, or 31.2%, to $14.1 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2010, compared to $10.7 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2009. This increase is mainly attributable to various IT projects for school districts and various departments of the U.S. government during the nine months ended May 31, 2010.
Our EIS division’s revenues, by client type, are comprised of the following (in thousands):

During the nine months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, U.S. governmental department and agency related revenues represented approximately 56.4% and 47.5% of total EIS division’s revenues, respectively. These clients include the Department of Defense, Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Agriculture and Department of Commerce. Revenues from various civilian and military U.S. governmental departments and agencies increased by approximately $16.2 million during the nine months ended May 31, 2010 compared with the nine months ended May 31, 2009. This increase is primarily attributable to retooling of our federal sales force during fiscal 2009 to focus more on services.
34
The state and local government business remains uncertain due to the tight budgetary pressures within governmental agencies in the State of New Jersey.
Revenues from commercial clients decreased by approximately $6.2 million during the nine months ended May 31, 2010 compared with the nine months ended May 31, 2009. This decrease is mainly due to the current economic downturn that caused reductions in technology and discretionary spending by our commercial clients. We have taken steps in this quarter to reduce our focus on unprofitable commercial clients for the EIS segment.
During the nine months ended May 31, 2010, revenues from our education business decreased by approximately $254,000 compared with the nine months ended May 31, 2009. This is mainly due to the deferral of some IT procurement services projects with school districts.
Gross Profit - EIS
Aggregate gross profit for our EIS division increased $3.2 million, or 18.5%, to $20.6 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2010 as compared to $17.4 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2009. EIS division’s services and consulting revenue includes revenues from the Company’s historical business, which we refer to as the Systems Division, and KOAN-IT, which was acquired on February 12, 2009, and includes the assets of EMS, which were acquired on May 12, 2009. The increase associated with the acquisition of KOAN-IT was $1.3 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2010. This increase is primarily due to comparing nine months of operations ended May 31, 2010 to a shorter stub period in the nine months ended May 31, 2009. Without these acquisitions Systems Division’s aggregated gross profit increased $1.9 million, or 11.3%, to $19.0 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2010, compared to $17.0 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2009. This increase is mainly attributable to various IT projects for school districts and various departments of the U.S. government during the nine months ended May 31, 2010 and our continued focus on increasing our services and consulting revenue.
Measured as a percentage of revenues, our gross profit margin for our EIS division increased to 14.6% of our EIS division’s revenues for the nine months ended May 31, 2010 from 13.1% for the nine months ended May 31, 2009. This increase is primarily a result of an increase in our services and consulting gross profit margin attributable to higher utilization of our engineering resources an increase in our services and consulting revenue associated with IT projects for school districts in the U.S. and various departments of the U.S. government during the nine months ended May 31, 2010.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses -EIS
Selling, general and administrative expenses for our EIS division increased by $2.7 million, or 18.4% to $17.6 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2010, compared to $14.9 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2009.
35
EIS division’s selling, general and administrative expenses includes selling, general and administrative expenses from Systems Division and KOAN-IT which was acquired on February 12, 2009 and the assets of EMS, which were acquired on May 12, 2009. The increase associated with the acquisition of KOAN-IT was $718,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2010. This increase is primarily due to comparing nine months of operations ended May 31, 2010 to a shorter stub period in the nine months ended May 31, 2009. Without these acquisitions, Systems Division’s selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.1 million, or 14.3%, to $16.5 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2010, compared to $14.4 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2009. This increase is mainly due to our investments in future growth as follows: 1) approximately $1.1 million in compensation of new hires and executives, including stock-based compensation and severance associated with the restructuring of commercial and state and local government business; 2) approximately $100,000 in professional recruiting fees; 3) approximately $125,000 in marketing initiatives; 4) approximately $210,000 professional, legal and merger related expenses; 5) the remaining approximately $300,000 in various expense categories such as travel, lodging, training and entertainment related expenses. Additionally, during the nine months ended May 31, 2009, the Company recovered $270,000 of previously expensed professional fees associated with defending the Company’s tax positions during the IRS’ 2003 and 2004 tax audits and appeals process, based on an indemnification right associated with the April 2004 Westwood merger. In April 2010, management implemented a cost reduction restructuring in our commercial and state and local government business, which eliminated approximately $2.1 million in annualized costs associated with our commercial state and local government practices.
Rent Expense-Related Party - EIS
We occupy approximately 42,000 square feet of office and warehouse space in Springfield, New Jersey. This space is leased from a limited liability company owned by a certain former director and current officer of the Company and his related family members. The original lease term was through April 2009 with monthly base rent of $15,000. We exercised the option to extend the lease for an additional five year term through April 2014, with monthly base rent of $18,000. During the nine months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, we recorded $155,000 and $137,000, respectively, in expense under this lease.
We occupy approximately 36,000 square feet of office and warehouse space in a 70,000 square foot building in Suwannee, GA. This space is leased from a limited liability company in which a certain officer of our company is a passive investor with an approximately 10% equity interest. The current lease term is through November 2014 with monthly rent of $21,000. During the nine months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, we recorded expense under this lease totaling $150,000 and $142,000, respectively.
Management believes the facilities noted above are being leased at rates consistent with the market rates.
Depreciation and Amortization - EIS
Depreciation and amortization expense for our EIS division decreased by 0.3%, or $3,000, to $1.0 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2010, compared to $1.1 for the nine months ended May 31, 2009. EIS division’s depreciation and amortization expense includes depreciation and amortization expense from Systems Division and KOAN-IT, which was acquired on February 12, 2009, and the assets of EMS, which were acquired on May 12, 2009. The increase associated with the acquisition of KOAN-IT was $223,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2010. This increase is primarily due to comparing nine months of operations ended May 31, 2010 to a shorter stub period in the nine months ended May 31, 2009. Without these acquisitions, Systems Division’s depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $150,000, or 14.8%, to $861,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2010, compared to $1.0 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2009. This is primarily attributable to a lower depreciable capital asset base than prior periods.
36
As of May 31, 2010, intangible assets of the EIS division consisted of: the estimated value ascribed to customer relationships of $9.9 million less accumulated amortization of $3.1 million; the estimated value ascribed to non-competes of $29,000 less accumulated amortization of $8,000; and the estimated value ascribed to trademarks of $175,000 less accumulated amortization of $45,000. As of August 31, 2009 intangible assets of the EIS division consisted of: the estimated value ascribed to customer relationships of $9.9 million less accumulated amortization of $2.5 million; the estimated value ascribed to non-competes of $28,000 less accumulated amortization of $3,000; and the estimated value ascribed to trademarks of $169,000 less accumulated amortization of $19,000. The assets ascribed to customer relationships are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 6 to 15 years and non-compete covenants and trademarks are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years. Amortization expense for the EIS division was $631,000, and $509,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Operating Income - EIS
Operating income for our EIS division for the nine months ended May 31, 2010 increased by 40.0%, or $460,000, to $1.6 million, compared to operating income of $1.1 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2009. EIS division’s operating income includes operating income from Systems Division and KOAN-IT which was acquired on February 12, 2009 and the assets of EMS, which were acquired on May 12, 2009. The increase associated with the acquisition of KOAN-IT was $427,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2010. This increase is primarily due to comparing nine months of operations ended May 31, 2010 to a shorter stub period in the nine months ended May 31, 2009. Without these acquisitions Systems Division’s operating income increased $32,000, or 2.4%, to $1.3 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2010. This increase in operating income is mainly attributable to increased services and consulting revenue as discussed in the Total Revenue and Gross Profit sections above, which was off-set by increased in selling, general and administrative expenses as discussed in the section above.
Interest expense - EIS
Interest expense for the EIS division decreased by 32.4%, or $125,000 to $261,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2010, compared to $386,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2009. We recorded approximately $20,000 in unused floor plan fees as interest expense during the nine months ended May 31, 2010. Without this unused floor plan fee accrual under the credit facility with the Lender, our interest expense would have been decreased by $145,000. This is primarily attributable to lower balances on various notes payable and a lower average interest rate charged on the line of credit, which was attributable to a decrease in the prime rate during this period. The average interest rate charged on the line of credit by the Lender was approximately 3.5% and 4.1% for nine months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Provision for income taxes -EIS
We recorded income tax expense of $573,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2010 as compared to $306,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2009. The effective tax rate was 41.8% for the nine months ended May 31, 2010 as compared to 40.3% for the nine months ended May 31, 2009. The lower effective tax rate in the nine months ended May 31, 2009 was primarily the result of the effect of a reversal of interest expense accrued in fiscal 2008 related to fiscal 2009 tax settlements.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended May 31, 2010 and 2009 - EGS
Revenues - EGS
EGS revenue consists of its ERP and Application Development practice and its Business Analysis and Quality Assurance practice. EGS division’s total revenues decreased $5.7 million, or 20.2%, to $22.4 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2010, compared to $28.1 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2009. This decline was caused by a 23.6% decrease in hours billed and a 6.6% decrease in the average hourly billing rate during the nine months ended May 31, 2010 compared with the corresponding period in 2009. The decrease in billable hours and rate is mainly due to decreases in our Business Analysis and Quality Assurance practices. Most of the clients EGS serves are commercial clients and we believe that this decrease in commercial business is primarily attributed to the current general economic downturn.
38
Gross Profit - EGS
EGS division’s gross profit decreased $1.3 million, or 24.4%, to $3.9 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2010, compared to $5.2 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2009. We believe this decrease is mainly due to the general economic downturn as discussed in the Revenue section above.
Measured as percentages of revenues, our gross profit margin for the EGS division decreased to 17.5% for the nine months ended May 31, 2010 from 18.4% for the nine months ended May 31, 2009. We believe this decrease is mainly due to the decreased billing rate per hour that resulted from, pricing pressure from our commercial clients.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses - EGS
EGS division’s selling, general and administrative expenses increased $90,000, or 2.8%, to $3.3 million, for the nine months ended May 31, 2010, compared to $3.2 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2009. During the nine months ended May 31, 2010, we recorded bonus expenses associated with retention bonuses in the amount of $223,000 and a bonus paid in connection with an acquisition agreement in the amount of $121,000, compared with $133,000 in retention bonus expense recorded in the nine months ended May 31, 2009. These bonus expenses increased our selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended May 31, 2010 compared with May 31, 2009. Without considering the impact of the above bonuses, EGS division’s selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $121,000. This decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to the reduction of various expense categories including commissions due to lower gross profits, travel, lodging, recruiting, business insurance, rent for guesthouses, professional and consulting fees.
Rent Expense-Related Party - EGS
We occupy approximately 20,000 square feet of office space in Fremont, CA. This space is leased from the spouse of the President of eBAS/Aveeva. The lease term is for 3 years with monthly base rent of $20,000. In March 2009, we subleased portion of the building for a monthly rent of $3,000 on a month-to-month basis, which was terminated effective February 1, 2010. During the nine months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, we recorded expense under this lease totaling $168,000 and $173,000 ,respectively.
Management believes the lease noted above is being leased at a rate consistent with the market rate.
Depreciation and Amortization - EGS
EGS division’s depreciation and amortization expense decreased $13,000, or 2.0%, to $636,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2010, compared to $649,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2009. The decrease is mainly due to an adjustment of the useful life of certain assets in the nine months ended May 31, 2010.
39
As of May 31, 2010, intangible assets of the EGS division consisted of the estimated value ascribed to customer relationships of $4.2 million less accumulated amortization of $1.4 million, and the estimated value ascribed to non-competes of $370,000 less accumulated amortization of $141,000. As of August 31, 2009, intangible assets of the EGS division consisted of the estimated value ascribed to customer relationships of $4.2 million less accumulated amortization of $820,000, and the estimated value ascribed to non-competes of $370,000 less accumulated amortization of $86,000. The assets ascribed to customer relationships are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 to 9 years and noncompete covenants and trademarks are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years. Amortization expense for the EGS division was $599,000, and $599,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Operating income (loss) -EGS
Operating loss for our EGS division for the nine months ended May 31, 2010 was $233,000 compared to operating income of $1.1 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2009. This decrease in operating income is mainly due to decreased revenue and increased selling, general and administrative expenses as discussed in the Revenue, Gross Profit and Selling, General and Administrative sections above.
Interest expense -EGS
Interest expense for our EGS division for the nine months ended May 31, 2010 decreased by 45.6%, or $140,000, to $167,000, compared to interest expense of $307,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2009. This is primarily attributable to lower total interest on an 8% subordinated note payable, which was paid in full in September 2009, and a lower average interest rate charged on the line of credit attributable to a decrease in the prime rate during this period. The average interest rate charged on the line of credit by the Lender was approximately 3.5% and 4.1% for the nine months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Provision (benefit) for income taxes -EGS
We recorded an income tax benefit of $117,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2010 as compared to income tax expense of $349,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2009. The effective tax benefit rate was 29.7% for the nine months ended May 31, 2010 as compared to tax expense rate of 44.2% for the nine months ended May 31, 2009. The higher effective tax rate in the nine months ended May 31, 2010 was primarily the result of the effect of permanently non-deductible expenses on a smaller pre-tax income base.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements
We adopted the new accounting and presentation standards for noncontrolling interests in accordance with ASC 810 “Consolidation” effective September 1, 2009. This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interests (minority interests) in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The adoption of the new accounting and presentation standards did not have any effect on our financial statements since all of our existing subsidiaries are wholly-owned.
Stock Warrants
We adopted the FASB Accounting Standards Codification of which certain literature was originally documented in EITF 07-05 “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock Abstract,” to determine if liability treatment would be necessary for the outstanding stock warrants effective September 1, 2009. The provisions of this standard must be applied retrospectively upon adoption. The adoption of these standards related to the outstanding warrants for the Company was not recorded in the financial statements because the Company determined that the impact was not material.
Business Combinations
We adopted the new accounting standard for business combinations in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations.” The new standard establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The new provisions of ASC 805 are effective for our business combinations occurring on or after September 1, 2009.
Subsequent Events
In February 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amended guidance on subsequent events. Under this amended guidance, SEC filers are no longer required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements. This guidance was effective immediately and we adopted these new requirements for the period ended February 28, 2010.
Recurring and Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires disclosure of transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers and information on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of the assets and liabilities measured under Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy. This guidance was effective for us beginning March 1, 2010. The adoption of this guidance has had no material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
41
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, which amends ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, to require companies to allocate revenue in multiple-element arrangements based on an element’s estimated selling price if vendor-specific or other third-party evidence of value is not available. ASU 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Earlier application is permitted. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14, Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements. ASU 2009-14 modifies the software revenue recognition guidance to exclude from its scope tangible products that contain both software and non-software components that function together to deliver a product’s essential functionality. ASU 2009-14 is effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early promotion is permitted. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operation or cash flows.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash at May 31, 2010 of $1.8 million represented an increase of approximately, $100,000 from cash of $1.7 million at August 31, 2009. We are a net borrower; consequently, we believe our cash balance must be viewed along with the available balance on our line of credit. Borrowings under our line of credit at May 31, 2010 increased to $13.8 million from $9.0 million at August 31, 2009. As of May 31, 2010, our net working capital (defined as the excess of our current assets over our current liabilities) was $900,000 higher than it was at August 31 2009.
The Company, Emtec NJ, Emtec LLC, Emtec Federal, Emtec Global, Luceo, eBAS and Aveeva (collectively, the “Borrower”), are parties to a Loan and Security Agreement with De Lage Landen Financial Services, Inc. (the “Lender”) pursuant to which the Lender provides the Borrower with a revolving credit loan and floor plan loan (the “Credit Facility”) until December 7, 2010. 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. 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. For detailed information on terms of the Credit Facility, refer to footnote#6 – Line of Credit of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on the Form 10-Q for the nine months ended May 31, 2010, or the annual financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009.
The Company had balances of $13.8 million and $9.0 million outstanding under the revolving portion of the Credit Facility, and balances of $2.8 million and $5.4 million (included in the Company’s accounts payable) outstanding plus $1.3 million and $321,000 in open approvals under the floor plan portion of the Credit Facility at May 31, 2010 and August 31, 2009, respectively. Net availability was $5.2 million and $11.9 million under the revolving portion of the Credit Facility, and additionally $8.8 million and $5.4 million was available under the floor plan portion of the Credit Facility as of May 31, 2010 and August 31, 2009, respectively.
42
As of May 31, 2010, the Company determined that it was in compliance with its financial covenants under the Credit Facility.
As of May 31, 2010, we had open term credit facilities with our primary trade vendors, including aggregators and manufacturers, of approximately $41.5 million with outstanding principal of approximately $17.0 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 a material adverse affect on our business, result of operations and financial condition.
Capital expenditures of approximately $563,000 during the nine months ended May 31, 2010 related primarily to the purchase of computer equipment for internal use, purchase of automobiles for our service technicians and software costs to upgrade various modules of our accounting systems.
We anticipate that our primary sources of liquidity in fiscal year 2010 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 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. Our future financial performance could be negatively affected by unforeseen factors and unplanned expenses.
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 SEC 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 are an IT systems integrator, providing consulting, staffing, application services and infrastructure solutions to commercial, federal, education, state and local government clients. Our specific practices include IT consulting, communications, data management, enterprise computing, managed services, business service management solutions, training, storage and data center planning and development and staff augmentation solutions.
43
In accordance with paragraph 40 FASB Topic ASC paragraph 280-10-50, it is impracticable for us to report the revenues from external customers for each of our products and services or each group of similar products and services offered. Our revenue recognition policy is as follows:
We recognize revenue from the sales of products when risk of loss and title passes, which is upon client acceptance.
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 Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 (“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” 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 clients. The client is invoiced at the date of revenue recognition when all of the criteria have been met. As of May 31, 2010 and 2009, we did not have any bill & hold transactions. |
We have experienced minimal client returns. Since some 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.
Revenue from the sale of warranties and support service contracts is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract.
We recognize revenue from sale arrangements that contain both procurement revenue and services and consulting revenue 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.
Revenues from the sale of third party manufacturer warranties and 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 we do not expect cancellations of any significance in the future. As the Company is not obligated to perform these services, we determined it is more appropriate to recognize the net amount of the revenue and related payments as net revenue at the time of sale.
44
Services and consulting revenue includes time billings based upon billable hours charged to clients, fixed price short-term projects, and hardware maintenance 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.
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 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.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets |
Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets of acquired companies. In accordance with ASC 350 “Intangibles-Goodwill and Others,” 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. The Company has set an annual impairment testing date of June 1. The impairment determination is made at the reporting unit level and consists of two steps. First, the Company determines the fair value of the reporting unit and compares it to its carrying amount. Second, if the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation, in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations.” The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. The Company’s policy is to perform its annual impairment testing for all reporting units as 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.
45
Intangible assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 350 “Intangibles-Goodwill and Others.” 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.
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 of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
46
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 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 May 31, 2010 was approximately $13.8 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 $138,000 annually.
47
Item 4T. 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 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of May 31, 2010. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, including the accumulation and communication of disclosures to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow timely decision regarding required disclosure, were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. 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 May 31, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In December 2007, the Company received a subpoena issued by the GSA Office of Inspector General ("OIG"), apparently as part of an ongoing, industry-wide investigation. The Company produced documents and data in response to the subpoena to the OIG during 2008. In September 2009, the Company, along with several other prominent IT companies, was served with a qui tam lawsuit entitled Christopher Crennen, et al. v. Dell Marketing, et al., which was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The lawsuit alleged violations of the False Claims Act relating to the Company's obligations under the Buy American Act and the Trade Agreements Act. The company filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit on November 13, 2009, on the grounds that the amended complaint failed to comply with Rules 9(b) and 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. On April 27, 2010, the District Court granted the motion and dismissed the amended complaint with prejudice. The relator did not file a notice of appeal and, as such, the case is closed.
The Company is occasionally involved in various lawsuits, claims, and administrative proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Except as set forth above, the Company believes that any liability or loss associated with such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
