PART I
Item 1. | Business |
(a) General Development of Business
SED International Holdings, Inc., a Georgia corporation, and its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, SED International, Inc., a Georgia corporation (“SED International”), were incorporated in 1986 to take over the operations of the business of the Company’s predecessor, Southern Electronics Distributors, Inc., which was engaged in the wholesale distribution of consumer electronic products. In fiscal 1999, the Company, formerly a Delaware corporation, reincorporated as a Georgia corporation. As used herein, the term “Company” or the “Registrant” means SED International Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including SED International, unless the context otherwise indicates.
The Company is a distributor of microcomputer products, including mass storage, imaging, display, wireless products and consumer electronics throughout the United States and Latin America. The Company offers to an active base of over 6,500 reseller customers a broad inventory of more than 3,500 products from approximately 170 vendors (direct and indirect), including such market leaders as Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Maxtor, Creative Labs, Acer, Epson, Microsoft, LG Electronics, Envision, and IBM, through a dedicated sales force. The Company distributes products in the United States from its strategically located warehouses in Atlanta, Georgia; Miami, Florida; City of Industry, California; Richardson, Texas; and San Juan, PR. The Company services Latin America through its wholly-owned subsidiaries SED International de Colombia Ltda. in Bogota, Colombia and Intermaco S.R.L. in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The Company also distributes wireless telephone products in the United States and to Latin America. The Company is a direct distributor of wireless telephone products for LG Infocomm and Audiovox and an indirect distributor for other leading wireless telephone product vendors such as Motorola, Nokia, and Samsung. In fiscal 2004, the Company’s net sales of microcomputer products generated approximately 82.0% of the Company’s total net sales and wireless telephone products represented the remaining 18.0%.
In January of 2004 the Company announced that it would re-enter the wholesale consumer electronics distribution business and would offer such products to its current information technology and wireless customers. In addition to its current customers the Company offers consumer electronic products to the rent-to-own, ecommerce and retail channels. The Company is offering consumer electronics products from leading vendors including SVA, Zenith, Cingular, Creative Labs and Audiovox.
The shareholders of the Company approved a one-for-two reverse stock split in a special meeting of shareholders held on April 26, 2002. As a result of the reverse split, all holders of the Company’s common stock returned their current share certificates and received new certificates which reduced the number of shares held on a 1 for 2 basis. The new certificates have the same terms as the old certificates. All applicable amounts reflected herein give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split.
Subsequent to June 30, 2002, the Company terminated its credit facility with Wachovia Bank, NA, and IBM Global Finance. In October 2002, the Company entered into a new credit facility with Fleet Capital Corporation which provides access by the Company to additional credit capacity and liquidity. Additional information about the agreement with Fleet Capital Corporation may be found in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of this Annual Report.
In February 2003, the Company approved a plan to discontinue commercial operations of its Brazilian subsidiary, SED International do Brasil Distribuidora, Ltda. Accordingly, since the third quarter of fiscal 2003 the operating results of SED International do Brasil Distribuidora, Ltda. have been classified as a discontinued operation for all periods presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — “Discontinued Operations” and Note 18 of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

(c) Narrative Description of Business
Products and Vendors |
The Company offers its customers a broad inventory of more than 3,500 products from approximately 170 vendors (direct and indirect), including such market leaders as Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Maxtor, Creative Labs, Acer, Microsoft, Envision, and LG Electronics. The Company is a direct distributor of wireless telephone products for LG Infocomm and Audiovox and an indirect distributor for other leading wireless telephone product vendors such as Motorola, Nokia, and Samsung. Microcomputer related products accounted for $304.5 million or 82.0% of the Company’s net sales for fiscal 2004, $364.6 million or 88.0% of the Company’s net sales for fiscal 2003, $399.9 million or 94.0% of net sales in fiscal 2002. Approximately $67.2 million or 18.0% of the Company’s net sales for fiscal 2004, $48.5 million or 12.0% of the Company’s net sales for fiscal 2003, $24.0 million or 6.0% of net sales for fiscal 2002, consisted of wireless handsets and accessories. The Company continually evaluates its product mix and inventory levels and maintains flexibility by adjusting its product offerings based on demand. The Company’s vendors generally warrant the products distributed by the Company and allow the return of defective products. Generally, the Company’s authorized distributor agreements with its microcomputer and wireless telephone products vendors permit the Company to sell these vendors’ products in the United States and in designated countries in Latin America.
As a distributor, the Company incurs the risk that the value of its inventory will be affected by industry-wide forces. Rapid technological change is commonplace in the microcomputer and wireless industries and can quickly diminish the marketability of certain items, whose functionality and demand decline with the appearance of new products. These changes, coupled with price reductions by vendors, may cause rapid obsolescence of inventory and corresponding valuation reductions in that inventory. Accordingly, the Company seeks provisions in its vendor agreements common to industry practice which provide price protections or credits for declines in inventory value and the right to return unsold inventory. No assurance can be given, however, that the Company can negotiate such provisions in each of its agreements or that such industry practice will continue.
The Company purchases goods from approximately 170 vendors (directly and indirectly) and has negotiated favorable terms from certain vendors by purchasing a substantial volume of those vendors’ products. In fiscal 2004, 2003, and 2002, Maxtor accounted for 22.5%, 44.4%, and 40.0%, respectively, and Hewlett Packard accounted for 17.4%, 8.8% and 10.1%, respectively, of the Company’s purchases.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain its existing vendor relationships or secure additional vendors as needed. The Company’s vendor relationships typically are non-exclusive and subject to annual renewal, terminable by either party on short notice, and contain territorial restrictions that limit the countries in which the Company is permitted to distribute the products. The loss of a major vendor, the deterioration of the Company’s relationship with a major vendor, the loss or deterioration of vendor support for certain Company-provided services, the decline in demand for a particular vendor’s product, or the failure of the Company to establish good relationships with major new vendors could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Product orders typically are processed and shipped from the Company’s distribution facilities on the same day an order is received or, in the case of orders received after customary cutoff time, on the next business day. The Company relies almost entirely on arrangements with independent shipping companies for the delivery of its products to United States customers. Products sold within the Latin American markets are either picked up by the customer, or delivered to the customers or their agents from the Company’s Colombia and Argentina facilities. Generally, the Company’s inventory level of products has been adequate to permit the Company to be responsive to its customers’ purchase requirements. From time to time, however, the Company

Sales and Marketing |
The Company’s sales are generated by a telemarketing sales force, which, on June 30, 2004, consisted of approximately 109 people in sales offices located in Atlanta, Georgia; Miami, Florida; City of Industry, California; Richardson, Texas; San Juan, Puerto Rico; Bogota, Colombia and Buenos Aires, Argentina. Of the total number of salespersons on June 30, 2004, 52 people focused on sales to customers for export to Latin America and on sales in Colombia and Argentina. Substantially all of the export and Latin American-based salespeople are fluent in Spanish or Portuguese. The Company’s Atlanta sales office maintains a separate telemarketing sales force for the sale of wireless telephone products to retailers and wireless telephone carriers and their authorized agents located throughout the United States and Latin America.
Members of the sales staff are trained through intensive in-house sales training programs, along with vendor-sponsored product seminars. This training allows sales personnel to provide customers with product information and to use their marketing expertise to answer customers’ questions about important new product considerations, such as compatibility and capability, while offering advice on which products meet specific performance and price criteria. The Company’s salespeople are able to analyze quickly the Company’s extensive inventory through a sophisticated management information system and recommend the most appropriate solution for each customer, whether that customer is a full-line retailer or an industry-specific reseller.
The Company’s domestic sales force is organized in teams generally consisting of two to four people. The Company believes that teams provide superior customer service because customers can contact one of several people. Moreover, the long-term nature of the Company’s customer relationships is better served by teams that increase the depth of the relationship and improve the consistency of service. It has been the Company’s experience that the team approach results in superior customer service and better employee morale.
Compensation incentives are provided to the Company’s salespeople, thus encouraging them to increase their product knowledge and to establish long-term relationships with existing and new customers. Customers can telephone their salespersons using a toll-free number provided by the Company. In addition, salespeople initiate calls to introduce the Company’s existing customers to new products and to solicit orders. Salespeople also seek to develop new customer relationships by using targeted mailing lists, vendor leads and telephone directories of various cities.
The telemarketing salespersons are supported by a variety of marketing programs. For example, the Company regularly sponsors shows for its resellers where it demonstrates new product offerings and discusses industry developments. Also, the Company’s in-house marketing staff prepares catalogs that list available microcomputer and wireless telephone products and routinely produces marketing materials and advertisements. In addition, the in-house marketing staff promotes products and services through the Company’s Internet web page (www.sedonline.com) providing 24-hour access to on-line order entry. The Company’s web page provides customers secured access to place orders and review product specifications at times that are convenient to them. Customers also can determine on a real-time basis inventory availability, pricing, and verify the status of previously placed orders through hyperlinks to certain independent shipping companies.
The Company prides itself on being service oriented and has a number of on-going value-added services intended to benefit both the Company’s vendors and reseller customers. For example, the Company is committed to training its salespeople to be technically knowledgeable about the products they sell. This core competency supplements the sophisticated technical support and configuration services also provided by the Company. The Company believes that its salesperson’s ability to listen to a reseller’s needs and recommend a cost-efficient solution strengthens the relationship between the salesperson and his or her reseller and promotes customer loyalty to the Company. In addition, the Company provides such other value-added services as new product demonstrations and technical education programs for resellers, configuration services

Management continually evaluates the Company’s product mix and the needs of its customers in order to minimize inventory obsolescence and carrying costs. The Company’s rapid delivery terms are available to all of its customers, and the Company seeks to pass through its shipping and handling costs to its customers.
The Company offers various credit terms including, open account, prepay, credit card, and COD to qualifying customers. The Company closely monitors customers’ creditworthiness through its on-line computer system, which contains detailed information on each customer’s payment history and other relevant information. In addition, the Company participates in national and international credit associations that exchange credit rating information on customers. The Company reviews customers credit worthiness based on sales trends, industry trends in a geography, and other factors. The Company establishes reserves for estimated credit losses in the normal course of business.
Customers |
The Company serves an active, nonexclusive customer base of over 6,500 resellers of microcomputer, consumer electronics and wireless handset products. Resellers include value-added resellers, corporate resellers and retailers. The Company believes the multi-billion dollar microcomputer and wireless telephone wholesale distribution industries serve customers primarily on a nonexclusive basis, which provides the Company with significant growth opportunities. During fiscal 2004, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of the total net sales of the Company. The Company believes that most of its customers rely on distributors as their principal source of microcomputer and wireless telephone products.
Competition |
The microcomputer, consumer electronics and wireless telephone distribution industries are highly competitive, both in the United States and in Latin America. Competition in these industries is typically characterized by pricing pressures, product availability and potential obsolescence, speed and accuracy of delivery, effectiveness of sales and marketing programs, credit availability, ability to tailor specific solutions to customer needs, quality of product lines and services, and availability of technical support and product information. Additionally, the Company’s ability to compete favorably is principally dependent upon its ability to manage inventory and accounts receivable and to control other operating costs. Successful management of the Company also requires the Company to react quickly and appropriately to short and long-term trends, price its products competitively, increase its net sales and maintain economies of scale.
The Company’s competitors include regional, national and international microcomputer, consumer electronics and wireless distributors, many of which have substantially greater technical, financial and other resources than the Company, as well as vendors that sell directly to resellers and large resellers that sell to other resellers. Major competitors include Ingram Micro, Inc., Tech Data Corporation, D&H, ASI, Brightpoint, Inc., Cellstar Corporation, and Synnex Information Technologies, Inc. in the United States; and Tech Data Corporation, Ingram Mico, Inc., and Intcomex Holdings, L.L.C. in Latin America. From time to time, these competitors may be used as vendors.
Seasonality |
The Company’s sales currently are not subject to material seasonal fluctuations although no assurance can be given that seasonal fluctuations will not develop, especially during the holiday season in the United States and Latin America.
Employees |
As of June 30, 2004, the Company had 297 full-time employees, 109 of whom were engaged in telemarketing and sales, 98 in administration and 90 in warehouse management and shipping. Management

In addition, if the non-amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142 had been applied to all periods presented, the 2001 and 2000 net income would have increased or net loss would have decreased by $433,000 and $373,000, respectively.
The Company has restated its Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2003 and 2002 to properly classify the revolving credit facility with Fleet Capital Corporation, (“the Fleet Agreement”) as a current liability in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 95-22,Balance Sheet Classification of Borrowings Outstanding under Revolving Credit Agreements That Include Both a Subjective Acceleration Clause and a Lock-Box Arrangement(“EITF 95-22”). This restatement had no impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or compliance covenants under the Fleet Agreement for the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. The revolving credit facility is classified as a current liability in accordance with EITF 95-22 since the Fleet Agreement contains a subjective acceleration clause and contractual provisions under a lock box arrangement that require the cash receipts of the Company be used to repay amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility. As a result of the reclassification of the revolving credit facility to a current liability, working capital decreased $12,823,000 and $4,900,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Item 7. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto and the Selected Consolidated Financial Data included elsewhere herein. Historical operating results are not necessarily indicative of trends in operating results for any future period.
Overview
During fiscal 2004, our consolidated net sales declined approximately 10.0% when compared to fiscal 2003. This can be attributed to a decline in domestic sales, which represented 71.5% of net sales during fiscal 2004 compared to 77.5% in fiscal 2003. Net sales in the United States were down by 17.0% due to the continued economic slowdown, and competitive market conditions. While sales in the United States declined, sales in Latin America grew 22.0% over the prior year as we saw slightly improving economies in Argentina and Colombia.
The revenue decline from fiscal 2003 along with competitive market conditions resulted in a slight deterioration of our margins during fiscal 2004. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased to 4.5%, compared to 4.7% in fiscal 2003.
Selling, general and administration expenses decreased to $18.5 million or 5.0% in 2004 compared to $25.0 million or 6.0% in fiscal 2003. Fiscal 2004 and 2003 expenses included several unusual items, which impacted our results, which are discussed in more detail hereafter.
The Company incurred a net loss of $4.3 million in fiscal 2004, compared to $3.1 million in fiscal 2003, which included a net loss from discontinued operations of $42,000 and $4.7 million in fiscal years 2004 and 2003 respectively. Operating income in our Latin American subsidiaries increased 28.0% to $2.1 million from fiscal 2003 while operating losses in the United States decreased 44.5% to $5.2 million, compared to $9.4 million fiscal 2003.
The Company has experienced a decline in net sales over the last three years and has incurred operating losses in each of the last three years. Company management is continuing to focus on increasing profit margins and reducing administrative and overhead costs. There is no assurance the Company will be successful in its efforts. Failure to improve margins and reduce overhead could adversely affect the Company’s profitability and financial condition.
Numerous factors and conditions impact the Company’s ability to adequately achieve its profit goals, including, but not limited to, the following:
• | Continuation of distribution agreements — The Company operates under formal but cancelable distribution agreements with certain of its suppliers. If these agreements were cancelled, the Company would be forced to obtain its products through wholesalers. This would reduce the Company’s profit margin on the affected products. | |
• | Availability of certain products — From time to time, due to production limitations or heavy demand, the Company may only be able to purchase a limited amount of popular products from its suppliers. | |
• | Product margins — The Company operates in a very competitive business environment. Accordingly, product margins are continually under pricing pressure. From time to time, the Company receives price protection and other considerations from its vendors. While the Company has no reason to believe such vendor consideration will not continue, no assurance can be given that such price protection and other considerations will continue to be received in the future. | |
• | Vendor credit — The Company significantly relies on its suppliers for trade credit. Changes by the suppliers in their credit terms could force the Company to obtain less favorable financing for its purchases. | |
• | Product obsolescence — The Company offers a broad line of products that are subject to fast technological obsolescence, which increases the risk of inventory markdown. Through its vendor agreements, the Company has certain stock return privileges, which vary from supplier to supplier. The |
11
Table of Contents
Company believes stock return programs will continue in the future, but can give no assurance about whether these programs will continue. | ||
• | Consumer Electronics —The Company is entering into the distribution of consumer electronics, which is highly competitive. Some of the Company’s competitors have substantially greater financial, marketing and distribution resources than the Company and the Company may be unable to successfully compete with these companies. The Company acquired significant levels of inventory during the fourth quarter of 2004. Failure to successfully penetrate this market could have an adverse impact on the Company’s cash flows, financial position and operating results. | |
• | Credit decisions and losses — The Company maintains an experienced customer credit staff and relies on customer payment history and third party data to make customer credit decisions. Nevertheless, the Company may experience customer credit losses in excess of its expectations. The Company maintained credit insurance for customers located in the United States through February 1, 2004 and maintains insurance in most Latin American countries (subject to certain terms and conditions). However, the terms of the credit insurance agreement require the Company to maintain certain minimum standards and policies with respect to extending credit to customers. If the Company does not adhere to such policies, the insurance companies may not pay claims submitted by the Company. | |
• | Proportionate control of general and administrative costs — The Company attempts to control its overhead costs to keep such costs in line with its sales volume. As sales volumes fluctuate, the Company must continually monitor its overhead costs and make adjustments timely and appropriately. | |
• | Uncertain and possibly volatile economic and political environment in Latin America — The general economic and political environment in the countries in which the Company operates in Latin America is uncertain and, at times, volatile. As a result of these conditions, the Company could experience unexpected costs from its operations in these countries. | |
• | Availability of credit facilities — The Company operated under a formal credit facility with a bank for many years that was subject to certain collateral limitations and contained certain covenants. During October 2002 a new credit facility was obtained. The new credit facility provides more flexibility compared to the prior agreement but also includes covenants and other provisions. The Company from time to time violated the financial covenants associated with the previous credit agreement, but was successful in negotiating waivers of such violations. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to maintain compliance with financial covenants, or obtain waivers in the event of non-compliance, in the future. Failure to maintain compliance with the financial covenants could adversely affect the Company’s ability to obtain vendor credit and the overall business operations. The principal credit facility, which expires in October 2005, is further described in Note 7 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. | |
• | Cash flows — While not presently anticipated, the Company’s continued operation in Latin America may require additional capital infusion in the form of loans from the parent company or other debt borrowings by the subsidiary. The October 2002 credit facility places certain restrictions on the future funding of Latin American operations (See Note 7). |
For the Company’s domestic operations, all purchases and sales are denominated in United States dollars. For the Company’s operations in Colombia and Argentina, in-country transactions are conducted in the respective local currencies of these two locations while import purchases are generally denominated in United States dollars.

Fiscal 2004 Compared to Fiscal 2003 |
Net sales from continuing operations decreased 10.0%, or $41.4 million, to $371.7 million in fiscal 2004 compared to $413.1 million in fiscal 2003. Microcomputer product sales declined 16.0% to $304.5 million compared to $364.6 million in fiscal 2003 due to the continued economic slowdown, competitive market conditions and management’s strategic decision to reduce concentration and reliance on one major vendor in the hard drive market. Wireless revenues in fiscal 2004 increased 39.0% to $67.2 million compared to $48.5 million in fiscal 2003 as the Company continued to expand its product offerings in the wireless market.
Information concerning the Company’s domestic and foreign sales is summarized below:

The decrease in domestic sales was due primarily to a decline in the sales of mass storage products offset by increases in printers, printer consumables, computer processors and wireless product sales. The increase in U.S. export sales was primarily due to an improvement in the sale of printers and printer consumables while sales in our Latin American subsidiaries increased due to the slightly improving economies in Argentina and Colombia.

Sales of microcomputer products represented approximately 82.0% of the Company’s net sales in fiscal 2004 compared to 88.0% for fiscal 2003. Sales of wireless telephone products accounted for approximately 18.0% of the Company’s net sales in fiscal 2004 compared to 12.0% for fiscal 2003.
Gross profit decreased $2.9 million to $16.6 million in fiscal 2004, compared to $19.4 million in fiscal 2003. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales declined to 4.5% in fiscal 2004 compared to 4.7% in 2003. The decrease in gross profit margin is primarily a result of volume, lower margin sales, and over all pricing pressures in the market. The Company’s margins may be affected by several factors including (i) the mix of products sold, (ii) the price of products sold and provided and (iii) increased competition. Overall, the Company continues to experience pricing pressure in selling products.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2004 declined 26.0% to $18.5 million, compared to $25.0 million in fiscal 2003. These expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 5.0% in 2004 compared to 6.0% in fiscal 2003. The decrease in expense from the prior year is attributed to several factors including (i) a decrease in credit and collection expenses of $1.1 million, (ii) a $1.2 million provision in 2003 for certain sales tax liabilities which will likely not be recovered from customers, (iii) non-recurring expenses of $2.4 million (net of $1.0 million incurred in fiscal 2004) recorded under the employment agreement of Gerald Diamond, the Company’s deceased founder and former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, (iv) and a decline in other employee related and general expenses of $1.8 million.
Depreciation was $1.2 million in fiscal 2004 as compared to $1.6 million in fiscal 2003. The decline reflects lower capital expenditures and a declining asset base.
The results of operations of the Company are subject to and can be adversely affected by the inflationary conditions in Latin America and the fluctuations of the Argentine and Colombian currencies. Since the Company has significant U.S. dollar denominated liabilities in Latin American subsidiaries, the devaluation resulted in foreign currency transaction losses totaling approximately $14,000 in fiscal 2004 as compared to approximately $581,000 in fiscal 2003. See Item 7A for further discussion.
Net interest expense was $.2 million in fiscal 2004 compared to interest expense of $.5 million in fiscal 2003. The decrease in net interest expense is related to interest income of $220,000 earned during fiscal 2004 on cash balances on hand associated with the proceeds received by the Company pursuant to two key man life insurance policies held on the life of Gerald Diamond, the Company’s founder and former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer who passed away in June of 2003.
Other income in fiscal 2003 was comprised of $10.0 million in proceeds under the life insurance policies described immediately above. The insurance proceeds were received in July and August of 2003. Additionally, in fiscal 2003, the Company entered into a confidential settlement agreement for claims arising out of a disagreement with a former insurance broker. The net proceeds of $512,932 were recorded net of attorney’s fees of $96,420.
Income tax expense was approximately $801,000 in fiscal year 2004 compared to $613,000 in 2003. The income tax expense is primarily related to income generated by the Company’s Latin American subsidiaries. At June 30, 2004, the Company has a gross net operating loss carried forward for U.S. federal tax purposes of approximately $54.8 million and state tax purposes of approximately $56.4 million; expiring at various dates through 2024 and gross net operating loss carry forwards for foreign income tax purposes of approximately $12 million in Brazil, which generally do not expire. At June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company has recorded valuation allowances for principally all deferred tax assets, except for those relating to Intermaco S.R.L. (Argentina), as there is no assurance that these assets will be realized.

Domestic sales were $320.1 million and $311.3 million in fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002, respectively. The increase in domestic sales was due primarily to an increase in wireless product sales of $24.5 million offset by a decline in the sales of printers, printer consumables, computer processors and mass storage products. The overall sales decline resulted from a decrease in net sales to customers for export principally to Latin America. The decrease in U.S. export sales was primarily due to the economic downturn in the Latin American countries the Company does business in.
Sales of microcomputer products represented approximately 88.0% of the Company’s net sales in fiscal 2003 compared to 94.0% for fiscal 2002. Sales of wireless telephone products accounted for approximately 12.0% of the Company’s net sales in fiscal 2003 compared to 6.0% for fiscal 2002.
Gross profit decreased $0.7 million to $19.4 million in fiscal 2003, compared to $20.1 million in fiscal 2002. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales remained flat at 4.7% for fiscal 2003 and 2002. Overall, the Company continues to experience pricing pressure in selling products.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2003 increased 21.0% to $25.0 million, compared to $20.6 million in fiscal 2002. These expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 6.0% in 2003 compared to 4.9% in fiscal 2002. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in bad debt expenses of $0.7 million, professional fees $0.2 million, sales tax liabilities of $1.2 million, and obligations of $3.4 million that arose under the terms of Mr. Gerald Diamond’s employment agreement as a result of his June 2003 death. See Note 17 of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
The 2002 cumulative effect adjustment was determined based on an analysis of the Company’s goodwill and the estimated future cash flows of operations associated with such impairment. See Note 3 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
Depreciation was $1.6 million in fiscal 2003 as compared to $2.1 million in fiscal 2002. This reflects a decline in capital expenditures.
The results of operations of the Company were adversely affected by the continuing inflationary conditions in Latin America and the fluctuations of the Argentine and Colombian currencies. Since the Company has significant U.S. dollar denominated liabilities in Latin American subsidiaries, the devaluation resulted in foreign currency transaction losses totaling approximately $581,000 in fiscal 2003 as compared to approximately $9,000 in fiscal 2002. See Item 7A for further discussion.
Net interest expense was $.5 million in fiscal 2003 compared to interest expense of $.3 million in fiscal 2002. This net change resulted primarily from a increase in working capital requirements in fiscal 2003 which in turn resulted in additional borrowings under the Company’s credit facility.
Other income was $10.5 million at June 30, 2003, and included $10.0 million in proceeds due under two key man life insurance policies held on the life of Gerald Diamond, the Company’s founder and former

Income tax expense was approximately $613,000 in fiscal year 2003 compared to a benefit of $1.4 million in 2002. In 2002, the Company realized an income tax benefit of $1.9 million resulting from the adjustment of certain income tax liabilities and refunds received in the fourth quarter of 2002 related to recent United States tax legislation which provided for an extension of the period in which net operating losses could be carried back, offset in part by income taxes in Colombia and Argentina. At June 30, 2003, the Company has a gross net operating loss carried forward for U.S. federal tax purposes of approximately $28.7 million and state tax purposes of approximately $34.3 million; expiring at various dates through 2023 and gross net operating loss carry forwards for foreign income tax purposes of approximately $12 million in Brazil, which generally do not expire. At June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company has recorded valuation allowances for principally all deferred tax assets, except for those relating to Intermaco S.R.L. (Argentina), as there is no assurance that these assets will be realized.
Discontinued Operations
In February 2003, the Company resolved to discontinue commercial operations of its Brazilian subsidiary, SED International do Brasil Distribuidora, Ltda. (the “Brazil Operation”). Accordingly, the operating results of SED International do Brasil Distribuidora, Ltda. have been classified as a discontinued operation for all periods presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, the Company has reported all of SED International do Brasil Distribuidora, Ltda. assets at their estimated net realizable values in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2004 in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30. See Note 18 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
During fiscal 2004, the Company recorded a loss from discontinued operations of approximately $42,000 primarily due to the favorable settlement of certain liabilities which were offset by a provision for potential tax claims asserted by the Brazilian government.
During fiscal 2003, the Company incurred a loss from discontinued operations of approximately $4.7 million related to the discontinuance of SED International do Brasil Distribuidora, Ltda. This loss consisted of operating losses incurred in the Brazil Operation of $1.4 million and an estimated loss on disposal of the Brazil Operation of $3.3 million which includes charges for the following: (i) the write-off of foreign currency translation losses of $2.6 million previously recorded as a component of shareholders’ equity, (ii) equipment, (iii) customer accounts receivable, (iv) employee termination costs, (v) inventory, and (vi) facility exit and lease termination costs.
SED International do Brasil Distribuidora, Ltda. has been transitioned from a commercial operating company into dormancy. During the dormancy period, the Company will incur ongoing operating expenses for attorney fees, statutory bookkeeping and reporting services, document storage and inventory storage cost until liquidation of the inventory. Please refer to Note 18 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the results of operations for the reporting periods.

Fourth Quarter Adjustments |
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company recorded certain expense adjustments related to changes in estimates of obligations related to sales and use tax liabilities of $1.2 million; bad debt expense of $2.1 million, $3.4 million related to benefits due under Mr. Diamond’s employment agreement (See Note 17 of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements) and income for insurance proceeds of $10.0 million.

An off-balance sheet arrangement is any contractual arrangement involving an unconsolidated entity under which a company has (a) made guarantees, (b) a retained or a contingent interest in transferred assets, (c) any obligation under certain derivative instruments or (d) any obligation under a material variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk, or credit risk support to the Company, or engages in leasing, hedging, or research and development services within the Company.
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or unconsolidated special purpose entities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s liquidity requirements arise primarily from the funding of working capital needs, including inventories and trade accounts receivable. As a percentage of total assets exclusive of other receivables, accounts receivable and inventories were approximately 88.7% and 88.5% in fiscal 2004 and 2003, respectively. It has been the Company’s experience that in periods of revenue growth, investments in accounts receivable and inventories grow, and the Company’s need for financing may increase. In the periods in which revenue declines, investments in accounts receivable and inventories generally decrease, and cash is generated. At June 30, 2004, accounts receivable and inventories net of payables, increased by $1.1 million, or 3.5%, compared with June 30, 2003. In fiscal 2003, accounts receivable and inventories, net of payables, increased by 2.7%, or $.8 million, compared with fiscal 2002. At June 30, 2002, accounts receivable and inventories, net of payables, decreased by $3.2 million, or 9.9%, compared with June 30, 2001, due to decreased sales and improved asset utilization.
Historically, the Company has financed its liquidity needs largely through internally generated funds, borrowings under its credit agreement and vendor lines of credit. The Company derives a substantial portion of its operating income and reported cash flows from its foreign subsidiaries and, due to certain bank and regulatory regulations, relies on such cash flows to satisfy its foreign obligations. While the Company continues operations in Latin America, management believes that domestic banking agreements and international monetary restrictions may limit the Company’s ability to transfer cash between its domestic and international subsidiaries.
At June 30, 2004, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4.1 million, of which $3.1 million is held in Latin American banks by the Company’s subsidiaries in Argentina and Colombia. The funds held in Latin American banks are generally not available for use domestically without withholding taxes. At June 30, 2004, the Company’s principal source of liquidity is its $4.1 million of cash, and its revolving credit facility. The Company’s availability under the Fleet Agreement was $12.4 million at August 24, 2004, net of $2.2 million in reserves for outstanding letters of credit.
The net amount of cash provided by the Company’s operating activities in fiscal 2004 was $4.2 million, principally as a result of changes in working capital requirements, the receipt of key man life insurance proceeds offset by benefits paid to Mr. Gerald Diamond’s surviving spouse under his employment agreement and the net loss from operations adjusted for non-cash items. The net amount of cash used for investing activities in fiscal 2004 was $633,000 principally as a result of leasehold improvements to our corporate office location in connection with the January 2004 consolidation of the Company’s Tucker, Georgia warehouse and corporate office facilities. The net amount of cash used for financing activities in fiscal 2004 was $2.0 million reflecting repayments under our revolving credit facility.
The net amount of cash used by operating activities in fiscal 2003 was $.6 million, principally reflecting changes in working capital requirements, the increase in other receivables related to amounts due under two key man life insurance policies held on the life of Mr. Gerald Diamond, the Company’s founder and former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who passed away in June 2003, an increase in accrued liabilities associated with amounts due to Mr. Gerald Diamond’s surviving spouse under his employment agreement and the net loss from operations adjusted for non-cash items. The net amount of cash used for investing activities in fiscal 2003 was $217,000 primarily as a result of expenditures for computer equipment. The net amount of cash provided by financing activities in fiscal 2003 was $5.9 million and reflects additional borrowings under our short-term revolving credit facility of $7.9 million and repayment of subsidiary bank debt of $2.0 million.
The net amount of cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2002 was $1.0 million, principally reflecting lower working capital requirements and the net loss from operations adjusted for non-cash items. The net amount of cash used for investing activities in fiscal 2002 was $349,000 for various capital expenditures. The net amount of cash provided by financing activities in 2002 was $4.5 million, primarily reflecting additional borrowings under our short-term revolving credit facility.
The Company’s cash flows were adversely affected by the unfavorable changes in exchange rates in the Latin American countries in which the Company does business. The exchange rate changes had the effect of

On October 7, 2002, the Company entered into a three year, $35 million credit facility with Fleet Capital Corporation (the “Fleet Agreement”). The Fleet Agreement provides for revolving borrowings up to $35 million based upon the Company’s eligible domestic accounts receivable and inventory as defined therein. Borrowings under the Fleet Agreement accrue interest based upon a variety of interest rate options depending upon the computation of availability as defined therein. The interest rates range from the prime rate to the prime rate plus a margin of .5% or LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 2% to 2.75%. The Company is also subject to a commitment fee ranging from .25% to .5% on the unused portion of the facility. Interest is payable monthly. Borrowings under the Fleet Agreement are secured by substantially all domestic assets of the Company and 65% of each of the Company’s shares in its foreign subsidiaries, respectively. The Fleet Agreement matures on October 7, 2005.
The Fleet Agreement also contains certain covenants which, among other things, requires that if the Company’s availability is less than $5.0 million at anytime during the agreement, the Company must restrict or limit capital expenditures and advances to the Company’s Latin American subsidiaries. Also, if the $5.0 million threshold is breached, the Fleet Agreement requires the maintenance of certain levels of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, requires maintenance of minimum fixed charge coverage ratio beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2004, and requires the maintenance of minimum tangible net worth, as defined, of negative $1.8 million. The Company has maintained at least $5 million in availability under the Fleet Agreement since its inception on October 7, 2002. The Company’s availability under the Fleet Agreement net of reserves of $2.2 million for outstanding Letters of Credit was $12.4 million on August 24, 2004. Average borrowings, maximum borrowings, and weighted average interest rate for fiscal 2004 were $10.8 million, $20.9 million and 3.58% respectively.
At June 30, 2004, the Company would not have been in compliance with certain financial covenants under the Fleet Agreement had it breached the $5.0 million availability threshold. In the future, if the Company were to breach the $5.0 million threshold and fail to comply with the required financial covenants, Fleet may declare an event of default and could demand repayment of all outstanding borrowings and discontinue the agreement. If Fleet were to declare an event of default, the Company’s liquidity and business operations could be materially adversely affected. The Company has maintained at least $5.0 million in availability under the Fleet Agreement since its inception on October 7, 2002.
At June 30, 2004, the Company’s subsidiary, SED International de Colombia Ltda. had no bank borrowings. In addition, the Colombian subsidiary had no significant borrowings at any time during fiscal 2004.
The carrying value of all bank debt at June 30, 2004 and 2003 approximates its fair value based on floating market interest rates under these debt agreements.
There have been no material changes to obligations and/or commitments since year-end. Purchase orders or contracts for the purchase of inventory and other goods and services are not included in management’s estimates. Management is not able to determine the aggregate amount of such purchase orders that represent contractual obligations, as purchase orders may represent authorizations to purchase rather than binding agreements. The Company’s purchase orders are based on its current distribution needs and are fulfilled by its vendors within short time horizons. The Company does not have significant agreements for the purchase of inventory or other goods specifying minimum quantities or set prices that exceed our expected requirements for the twelve months ended June 30, 2004.
Management believes that the Company’s credit agreements together with vendor lines of credit and internally generated funds, will be sufficient to satisfy its working capital needs during fiscal 2005. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to remain in compliance with the financial covenants associated with the Fleet Agreement, or that the Company will be able to continue to obtain credit from its vendors in the future. Failure to maintain compliance under the Fleet Agreement or obtain vendor lines of credit could significantly and adversely affect the Company’s business operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates |
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts — Methodology |
An allowance for uncollectible accounts has been established based on collection experience and an assessment of the collectibility of specific accounts. Management evaluates the collectibility of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. Initially, management estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts as a percentage of accounts receivable based on historical collections experience. This initial estimate is periodically adjusted when management becomes aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations (e.g., bankruptcy filing) or as a result of changes in the overall aging of accounts receivable. The overall determination of the allowance also considers credit insurance coverage and deductibles, which the Company has maintained from time to time. Through February 1, 2004, the Company maintained credit insurance, which protected the Company from credit losses exceeding certain deductibles for domestic sales and certain export shipments from the United States. The company maintains credit insurance in most Latin American countries (subject to certain terms and conditions). See Note 14 under Item 8 for a summary of the movement of the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Inventories — Slow Moving, Obsolescence, and Lower of Cost or Market |
Most of the Company’s vendors allow for either return of goods within a specified period (usually 45-90 days) or for credits related to price protection. However, for other vendor relationships and inventories, the Company is not protected by vendors from the risk of inventory loss. Therefore, in determining the net realizable value of inventories, management identifies slow moving or obsolete inventories that (1) are not protected by vendor agreements from risk of loss, and (2) are not eligible for return under various vendor return programs. Based upon these factors, management estimates the net realizable value of inventories and records any necessary adjustments as a charge to cost of sales. If inventory return privileges were discontinued in the future, or if vendors were unable to honor the provisions of certain contracts, which protect the Company from inventory losses, including price protections, the risk of loss associated with obsolete, slow moving or impaired inventories would increase. The Company’s reserve for obsolete and slowing moving inventories was approximately $916,000 at June 30, 2004 or 2.9% of gross inventories.
Accrued Liabilities |
The Company has recorded liabilities for certain sales tax liabilities, escheat liabilities, end user rebate programs for wireless phones and employment agreement obligations. The recording of these liabilities requires the Company to make judgments and estimates. Certain of the estimates are highly subjective and may be subject to change in the future. At June 30, 2004 the Company has accrued its best estimate of the amounts which will ultimately be required to be paid in connection with such matters.
Financial Instruments |
The Company’s principal financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and revolving credit facilities. The carrying value of these financial instruments approximate fair value based upon the short-term nature of the instruments, and the variable rates on credit facilities.
The functional currency for the Company’s international subsidiaries is the local currency for the country in which the subsidiaries own their primary assets. The translation of the applicable currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using a weighted average exchange rate during the period. Any related translation adjustments are recorded directly to shareholders’ equity as a component of comprehensive income. The Company has no future plans to enter into foreign exchange forward or option contracts to hedge foreign currency transactions. These were isolated transactions. Generally, it is the Company’s policy not to enter into derivative contracts for speculative trading purposes.

Table of Contents
The Company’s revolving credit facility is currently a variable rate facility. The Company does not currently hedge future interest payments with interest rate swap agreements, and has no plans to do so in the future.
Inflation and Price Levels |
Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company’s overall business because of the typically decreasing costs of products sold by the Company. The Company also receives vendor price protection for a significant portion of its inventory. In the event a vendor or competitor reduces its prices for goods purchased by the Company prior to the Company’s sale of such goods, the Company generally has been able either to receive a credit from the vendor for the price differential or to return the goods to the vendor for credit.
The Latin American countries in which the Company operates have experienced high rates of inflation and hyperinflation from time to time in the past. At this time, management estimates that inflation may have a material impact on the Company’s Latin American business operations in the immediate future (See Item 7A).
Forward-Looking Statements |
The matters discussed herein and in the Letter to Shareholders accompanying this Annual Report on Form 10-K contain certain forward-looking statements that represent the Company’s expectations or beliefs, including, but not limited to, statements concerning future revenues and future business plans. When used by or on behalf of the Company, the words “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company cautions that various factors, including the factors described under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (SEC File No. 333-35069) as well as general economic conditions and industry trends, foreign currency fluctuations, the level of acquisition opportunities available to the Company and the Company’s ability to negotiate the terms of such acquisitions on a favorable basis, a dependence upon and/or loss of key vendors or customers, the transition to indirect distribution relationships for some products, the loss of strategic product shipping relationships, customer demand, product availability, competition (including pricing and availability), concentrations of credit risks, distribution efficiencies, capacity constraints and technological difficulties could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements of the Company made by or on behalf of the Company. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement.
Item 7A. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
The Company is subject to market risk arising from adverse changes in interest rates and foreign exchange. The Company does not enter into financial investments for speculation or trading purposes and is not a party to any financial or commodity derivatives.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s cash equivalents and short-term investments and its outstanding debt bear variable interest rates which adjust to market conditions. Changes in the market rate affect interest earned and paid by the Company. The Company does not use derivative instruments to offset the exposure to changes in interest rates. Changes in the interest rates are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.
Foreign Currency Exchange
The functional currency for the Company’s international subsidiaries is the local currency for the country in which the subsidiaries own their primary assets. The translation of the applicable currencies into

The Company distributes many of its products in foreign countries, primarily in Latin America. Approximately 28.5% of the Company’s total net sales were generated from sales made to resellers located in Latin American countries during the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2004. The Company manages its risk to foreign currency rate changes by maintaining foreign currency bank accounts in currencies in which it regularly transacts business. Additionally, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries procure inventory payable in U.S. dollars for resale in their respective countries. Upon settlement of the payables, the Company may be required to record transaction gains or losses resulting form currency fluctuations from the time the subsidiary entered into the agreement to settlement date of the liability. During the year ended June 30, 2004, the Company recorded transaction losses of approximately $14,000. At June 30, 2004, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries had approximately $3.2 million in U.S. dollar denominated liabilities. In the aggregate, if the value of the dollar against the foreign denominated currency strengthens by 10%, the Company would record a transaction loss of approximately ($320,000). Conversely, if the value of the dollar declines by 10%, the Company would record a transaction gain of approximately $320,000. The Company was not a party to any hedge transactions as of June 30, 2004.
The information included in the Company’s Annual Report does not include the potential impact that might arise from any decline in foreign currency in Latin American after June 30, 2004 or those declines which may occur in the future and, accordingly, should be analyzed considering that circumstance.
Since January 1, 2002, the Argentine economy has experienced inflation. During fiscal 2004, the inflation rate was 4.7% compared to 10.0% in fiscal 2003. While the Argentine government together with the International Monetary Fund is seeking remedies, no assurance can be given that the economic situation in Argentina will stabilize. The devaluation, which commenced in January 2002, could make it more difficult for Argentine companies to service their commercial and financial obligations due in or tied to the U.S. dollar. Any of the foregoing events and a continuation of the Argentine recession may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, and ability to make payments on the Company’s indebtedness and on the Company’s common stock market price. The information included in the Company’s financial statements, and other documentation, does not contain the potential impact that might arise from the situation described above and, accordingly, should be analyzed considering that circumstance. Please refer to Note 16 of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

SED INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
1. | Description of Business |
SED International, Holdings, Inc., a Georgia corporation, and its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, SED International, Inc., a Georgia corporation (collectively “the Company”) are engaged in the wholesale distribution of microcomputer products, including mass storage, imaging, display, wireless products and consumer electronics throughout the United States and Latin America. The Company services Latin America through its wholly-owned subsidiaries SED International de Colombia Ltda. in Bogota, Colombia and Intermaco S.R.L. in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
2. | Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies |
Principles of Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SED International Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SED International, Inc. (formerly Southern Electronics Distributors, Inc.), SED International do Brasil, Ltda. (formerly SED Magna Distribuidora Ltda.), SED Magna (Miami), Inc., SED International de Colombia Ltda., Intermaco S.R.L., (collectively the “Company”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The operations of SED International do Brasil, Ltda. were discontinued in the third quarter of fiscal 2003. See Note 18.
Risks and Uncertainties — The Company has at various times incurred a decline in net sales in the United States since fiscal 1998 and has incurred operating losses in either its domestic or certain of its foreign operations at various times during the past five fiscal years. Company management is continuing to focus on increasing profit margins and reducing administrative and overhead costs. There is no assurance the Company will be successful in connection with these efforts. Failure to effectively implement the plan could materially adversely affect the Company’s profitability and financial condition.
Numerous factors and conditions impact the Company’s ability to achieve its profit goals, including, but not limited to, the following:
• | Continuation of distribution agreements — The Company operates under formal but cancelable distribution agreements with certain of its suppliers. If these agreements were cancelled, the Company would be forced to obtain its products through wholesalers. This would reduce the Company’s profit margin on the affected products. | |
• | Availability of certain products — From time to time, due to production limitations or heavy demand, the Company may only be able to purchase a limited amount of popular products from its suppliers. | |
• | Product margins — The Company operates in a very competitive business environment. Accordingly, product margins are continually under pricing pressure. From time to time, the Company receives price protection and other considerations from its vendors. While the Company has no reason to believe such vendor consideration will not continue, no assurance can be given that such price protection and other considerations will continue to be received in the future. | |
• | Vendor credit — The Company significantly relies on its suppliers for trade credit. Changes by the suppliers in their credit terms could force the Company to obtain less favorable financing for its purchases. | |
• | Product obsolescence — The Company offers a broad line of products that are subject to fast technological obsolescence, which increases the risk of inventory markdown. Through its vendor agreements, the Company has certain stock return privileges, which vary from supplier to supplier. The Company believes stock return programs will continue in the future, but can give no assurance about whether these programs will continue. |

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
• | Consumer Electronics —The Company is entering into the distribution of consumer electronics, which is highly competitive. Some of the Company’s competitors have substantially greater financial, marketing and distribution resources than the Company and the Company may be unable to successfully compete with these companies. The Company acquired significant levels of inventory during the fourth quarter of 2004. Failure to successfully penetrate this market could have an adverse impact on the Company’s cash flows, financial position and operating results. | |
• | Credit decisions and losses — The Company maintains an experienced customer credit staff and relies on customer payment history and third party data to make customer credit decisions. Nevertheless, the Company may experience customer credit losses in excess of its expectations. The Company maintained credit insurance for customers located in the United States through February 1, 2004 and insurance in most Latin American countries (subject to certain terms and conditions). However, the terms of the credit insurance agreement require the Company to maintain certain minimum standards and policies with respect to extending credit to customers. If the Company does not adhere to such policies, the insurance companies may not pay claims submitted by the Company. | |
• | Proportionate control of general and administrative costs — The Company attempts to control its overhead costs to keep such costs in line with its sales volume. As sales volumes fluctuate, the Company must continually monitor its overhead costs and make adjustments timely and appropriately. | |
• | Uncertain and possibly volatile economic and political environment in Latin America — The general economic and political environment in all of the countries in which the Company operates in Latin America is uncertain and, at times, volatile. As a result of these conditions, the Company could experience unexpected costs from its operations in these countries. | |
• | Availability of credit facilities — The Company operated under a formal credit facility with a bank for many years that was subject to certain collateral limitations and contained certain covenants. During October 2002 a new credit facility was obtained. The new credit facility provides more flexibility compared to the prior agreement but also includes covenants and other provisions. The Company from time to time violated the financial covenants associated with the previous credit agreement, but was successful in negotiating waivers of such violations. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to maintain compliance with financial covenants, or obtain waivers in the event of non-compliance, in the future. Failure to maintain compliance with the financial covenants could adversely affect the Company’s ability to obtain vendor credit and the overall business operations. The principal credit facility, which expires in October 2005, is further described in Note 7. | |
• | Cash flows — While not presently expected, the Company’s continued operation in Latin America may require additional capital infusion (in the form of advance notes from the parent company or other debt borrowings by the subsidiary). The October 2002 credit facility restricts the future funding by the parent company of Latin American operations. Operating needs and regulatory matters restrict the Company’s ability to repatriate cash flows to the United States. |
Revenue Recognition — Sales are recorded upon shipment. The Company allows its customers to return products for exchange or credit subject to certain limitations. Returns have historically not been significant. Provision for estimated losses on such returns are recorded at the time of sale. Funds received from vendors for product rebates are accounted for as a reduction of product cost. Shipping and handling revenues are included in net sales and shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales.
Concentrations of Credit Risk — Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. At June 30, 2004, cash totaling $3.1 million was held in banks domiciled in Latin America. The funds held in Latin American banks are generally not available for use domestically without withholding taxes. The Company has
29
Table of Contents
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
no single customer that represents a significant portion of total net sales or accounts receivable and generally does not require collateral from its customers.
Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those differences could be significant.
Cash Equivalents — Cash equivalents are short-term investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less.
Accounts Receivable — Accounts receivable are carried at the amount owed by customers less an allowance for doubtful accounts.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts — An allowance for uncollectible accounts has been established based on our collection experience and an assessment of the collectibility of specific accounts. The Company evaluates the collectibility of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. Initially, the Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts as a percentage of accounts receivable based on historical collections experience. This initial estimate is periodically adjusted when the Company becomes aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations (e.g., bankruptcy filing) or as a result of changes in the overall aging of accounts receivable. Through February 1, 2004, the Company was protected by credit insurance on its significant customers, subject to certain deductible limitations. The credit insurance policy was for a twelve-month period and provided for a policy limit of $10.0 million with an annual aggregate deductible of $2.0 million. The Company is currently exploring opportunities to obtain credit insurance through another insurance carrier. However, there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in its efforts to renew or obtain coverage. As of June 30, 2004, the Company had submitted claims against the credit insurance policy of $3.4 million and based on the terms of the policy, the Company estimated it would recover approximately $750,000. However, the underwriters have declined coverage for several of the claims submitted and have offered $500,000 to settle all claims payable under the policy. The Company believes that all claims submitted are valid claims and will pursue all remedies available under the terms of the policy including arbitration to recover the amounts rightfully due. Based on the current outstanding offer from the insurance company the Company has reasonably estimated its recovery at $500,000, which has been considered in the computation of the Company’s bad debt expense and allowance for doubtful accounts at June 30, 2004. The allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $616,000 at June 30, 2004 and $2.7 million at June 30, 2003 or 2.0% and 7.4% of gross accounts receivables, respectively. The decrease in the allowance for doubtful accounts from June 30, 2003, reflects the write off of uncollectible accounts for several of the Company’s customers that have experienced financial difficulty including bankruptcy.
Inventories — Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market and include in-transit inventory of $5,611,000 at June 30, 2004 and $11,286,000 at June 30, 2003. Most of the Company’s vendors allow for either return of goods within a specified period (usually 45 – 90 days) or for credits related to price protection. However, for other vendor relationships and inventories, the Company is not protected from the risk of inventory loss. Therefore, in determining the net realizable value of inventories, the Company identifies slow moving or obsolete inventories that (1) are not protected by our vendor agreements from risk of loss, and (2) are not eligible for return under various vendor return programs. Based upon these factors, the Company estimates the net realizable value of inventories and records any necessary adjustments as a charge to cost of sales. If inventory return privileges or price protection programs were discontinued in the future, or if vendors were unable to honor the provisions of certain contracts which protect the Company from inventory losses, the risk of loss associated with obsolete, slow moving or impaired inventories would increase. The reserve for obsolete and slow moving inventories was approximately $916,000 at June 30, 2004 and $1.1 million at June 30, 2003, or 2.9% and 3.1% of gross inventories, respectively. The reduction in the
30
Table of Contents
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Company’s inventory reserves from June 30, 2003 is attributed to a number of factors including the liquidation of approximately $250,000 in aged inventories and the decline in the inventory levels of $2.9 million from June 30, 2003.
Property and Equipment — Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related asset, which generally range from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized ratably over the lesser of the useful lives of the improvements or the related lease terms.
Long-Lived Assets and Impairment — The Company periodically reviews long-lived assets, for impairment based on judgments as to the fair value of such assets primarily based upon future undiscounted cash flows from related operations. Based on the information available, an impaired asset is written down to its estimated fair market value generally measured by discounting estimated future cash flows.
Foreign Currency Translation — The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, with related translation gains or losses reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. The results of foreign operations are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the year. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the statement of operations. See Note 16.
Earnings Per Common Share (EPS) — Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding. Dilutive potential common shares represent additional common shares assumed to be issued. Approximately 96,000 stock options had the effect of increasing the weighted average shares including dilution for the year ended June 30, 2004. For the years ended 2004, 2003 and 2002 options for approximately 610,000, 801,000, and 969,000 common shares, respectively, were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation due to their antidilutive effect.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments — Financial instruments that are subject to fair value disclosure requirements are carried in the consolidated financial statements at amounts that approximate their fair value.
3. | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements |
In January 2003, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued EITF Issue No. 02-16,Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor(“the Issue”). The Issue addresses accounting and reporting issues related to how a reseller should account for cash consideration received from vendors. Generally, cash consideration received from vendors is presumed to be a reduction of the prices of the vendor’s products or services and should, therefore, be characterized as a reduction of cost of sales when recognized in the customer’s income statement. However, under certain circumstances this presumption may be overcome and recognition as revenue or as a reduction of other costs in the income statement may be appropriate. The Issue was effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2002. While the Company does receive cash consideration from vendors subject to the provisions of the Issue, the adoption of EITF Issue No. 02-16 had no significant impact on the Company since the Company has always accounted for such consideration in a manner consistent with the provisions of the Issue.
In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 (“SFAS 141”)Business Combinations,and Statement No. 142 (“SFAS 142”),Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS 141 prospectively prohibits the pooling of interests method of accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 requires companies to cease amortizing goodwill that existed at June 30, 2001 and establishes a new method for testing goodwill for impairment on an annual basis (or an interim basis if an event occurs that might reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.) Any goodwill resulting from
31
Table of Contents
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
acquisitions completed after June 30, 2001 is not amortized. SFAS 142 also requires that an identifiable intangible asset that is determined to have an indefinite useful economic life not be amortized, but separately tested for impairment using a fair value based approach. The Company adopted SFAS 142 as of July 1, 2001. However, the Company did not complete the required transitional impairment tests until the second quarter ended December 31, 2001. During the three month period ended December 31, 2001, the Company tested goodwill arising from the Intermaco acquisition as of July 1, 2001 primarily utilizing a valuation technique relying on the expected present value of future cash flows. As a result of this valuation process as well as the application of the remaining provisions of SFAS 142, the Company recorded a pre-tax transitional impairment loss of $6,372,000, representing the write-off of all of the Company’s existing goodwill. This write-off was reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, on a net of tax basis, as of July 1, 2001 in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 142 on July 1, 2001, the Company amortized this goodwill over an estimated useful life of 30 years.
4. | Other Receivables and Income |
At June 30, 2003 the Company recorded income of $10.0 million, plus accrued interest of $29,000 related to proceeds due under two key man life insurance policies held on the life of Gerald Diamond, the Company’s founder and former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The insurance proceeds were received in July and August of 2003. Separately, in December 2002, the Company entered into a confidential settlement agreement for claims arising out of a disagreement with a former insurance broker. The net proceeds of $512,932 were recorded net of attorneys’ fees of $96,420. Other receivables at June 30, 2004 represent amounts due from the Company’s insurance carrier for claims submitted under our credit insurance policy during the fiscal year ended 2004.

6. | Exit Costs |
In January 2002, the Company decided to discontinue the computer asset recovery operation of E-Store.com. In connection with this decision, the Company recorded expenses totaling $362,000 related to lease termination of $249,000, severance costs of $60,000, and loss on fixed asset disposal of $53,000. Loss on fixed asset disposal, severance expenses, and the lease and utility termination expenses have been classified as selling, general and administrative expense. All inventory-related exit costs have been classified as cost of goods sold in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The net loss for the year ended June 30, 2002 for the E-Store.com division was approximately $1,282,000.

7. | Credit Facilities |
Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, the Company restated its Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2003 to properly classify the revolving credit facility with Fleet Capital Corporation (hereafter “Fleet” and the “Fleet Agreement”) as a current liability in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 95-22,Balance Sheet Classification of Borrowings Outstanding under Revolving Credit Agreements That Include Both a Subjective Acceleration Clause and a Lock-Box Arrangement(“EITF 95-22”). This restatement had no impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or compliance covenants under the Fleet Agreement. The revolving credit facility is classified as a current liability in accordance with EITF 95-22 since the Fleet Agreement contains a subjective acceleration clause and contractual provisions under a lock box arrangement that require the cash receipts of the Company be used to repay amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility.
On October 7, 2002, the Company entered into a three year, $35 million credit facility with Fleet Capital Corporation (the “Fleet Agreement”). The Fleet Agreement provides for revolving borrowings up to $35 million based upon the Company’s eligible domestic accounts receivable and inventory as defined therein. Borrowings under the Fleet Agreement accrue interest based upon a variety of interest rate options depending upon the computation of availability as defined therein. The interest rates range from the prime rate to the prime rate plus a margin of .5%, or the Federal funds rate plus a margin of .5%, or LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 2% to 2.75%. The Company is also subject to a commitment fee ranging from .25% to .5% on the unused portion of the facility. Interest is payable monthly. Borrowings under the Fleet Agreement are secured by substantially all domestic assets of the Company and 65% of each of the Company’s shares in its foreign subsidiaries, respectively. The Fleet Agreement matures on October 7, 2005.
The Fleet Agreement also contains certain covenants which, among other things, require that if the Company’s availability is less than $5 million at any time during the agreement, the Company must restrict or limit capital expenditures and advances to the Company’s Latin American subsidiaries. Also, if the $5 million threshold is breached, the Fleet Agreement requires the maintenance of certain levels of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, requires maintenance of minimum fixed charge coverage ratio beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2004, and requires the maintenance of minimum tangible net worth, as defined, of negative $1.8 million. The Fleet agreement also restricts the Company’s ability to distribute dividends. Since entering into the Fleet Agreement, the Company has continuously maintained at least $5 million in availability under the Fleet Agreement. The Company’s availability under the Fleet Agreement net of reserves of $2.2 million for outstanding Letters of Credit was $12.4 million on August 24, 2004. Average borrowings, maximum borrowings, and weighted average interest rate for fiscal 2004 were $10.8 million, $20.9 million and 3.58% respectively.
At June 30, 2004, the Company would not have been in compliance with certain financial covenants under the Fleet Agreement had it breached the $5.0 million availability threshold. In the future, if the Company were to breach the $5.0 million threshold and fail to comply with the required financial covenants, Fleet may declare an event of default and could demand repayment of all outstanding borrowings and discontinue the agreement. If Fleet were to declare an event of default, the Company’s liquidity and business operations could be materially adversely affected. The Company has maintained at least $5.0 million in availability under the Fleet Agreement since its inception on October 7, 2002.
Until October 2002, the Company had a credit agreement with Wachovia Bank N.A. (“Wachovia”), which provided for borrowings under a line of credit of up to $25 million at June 30, 2002. At June 30, 2002, the Company had $4.9 million outstanding under this facility. Maximum borrowings under the credit agreement were generally based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory. Available borrowings under this agreement, based on collateral limitations at June 30, 2002 were $9.9 million ($9.5 million of which would only be available to finance obligations due to IBM Global Financing, if necessary).
33
Table of Contents
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
The Wachovia credit agreement required maintenance of certain minimum working capital and other financial ratios and has certain dividend restrictions. The credit agreement required a commitment fee of .50% of the unused commitment. Average borrowings, maximum borrowings and the weighted average interest rate for fiscal 2002 were $4,961,000, $19,100,000, and 5.67% respectively. At June 30, 2002 the Company was not in compliance with certain financial covenants under the Wachovia agreement. However, the Company subsequently obtained a new revolving credit agreement as previously discussed.
The carrying value of all bank debt at June 30, 2004 approximates its fair value based on the variable market rates of interest on such bank debt.
8. | Income Taxes |
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The tax effects of significant items comprising the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows:

tion. Historically, the Company had elected to follow the Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Based Compensation issued to Employees(“APB 25”) and related Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock-based compensation. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for stock option plans in the past. The Company has elected to follow the prospective method and all employee awards granted, modified or settled after July 1, 2002 will be expensed over the vesting period based on the fair value at the date the stock-based compensation is granted. Stock compensation expense recognized during fiscal years ended 2004 and 2003 in connection with the prospective adoption of SFAS No. 123 totaled approximately $106,000 and $4,000, respectively. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share as if the fair value based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each period.

Restricted Stock — The Company’s stock option plan established in 1999 also permits the grant of restricted stock awards. Awards which have been granted under this 1999 plan vest ratably over two to ten years. Restricted stock activity is as follows:

Shares of restricted stock-end of year | 21,250 | 48,937 | 96,988 | |||||||||
The value of restricted stock awards is determined using the market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date and is amortized over the vesting period. The unamortized portion of such awards is deducted from stockholders’ equity.
Stockholder Rights Agreement — In October 1996, the Company adopted a stockholder rights agreement under which one common stock purchase right is presently attached to and trades with each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock. The rights become exercisable and transferable apart from the common stock ten days after a person or group, without the Company’s consent, acquires beneficial ownership of 12% or more of the Company’s common stock or announces or commences a tender or exchange offer that could result in 12% ownership (the “Change Date”). Once exercisable, each right entitles the holder to purchase shares of common stock in number equal to eight multiplied by the product of the number of shares outstanding on the Change Date divided by the number of rights outstanding on the Change Date not owned by the person or group and at a price of 20% of the per share market value as of the Change Date. The rights have no voting power and, until exercisable, no dilutive effect on net earnings per common share. The rights expire in October 2006 and are redeemable at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors at $.01 per right.
11. | Employee Benefit Plan |
SED International, Inc. maintains the SED International, Inc. 401(k) Plan, a voluntary retirement benefit program. All employees of SED International, Inc. who have attained the age of 21 are eligible to participate after completing one year of service. Employees are immediately vested in their own contributions. Prior to July 1, 2002, SED International, Inc. matched a portion of employee contributions to the plan. Effective July 1, 2002, SED International revised the plan to provide matching contributions for its employees at the discretion of the Board of Directors and is no longer required to match employee contributions. Vesting in matching contributions, if any, is ratable over 10 years based on years of continuous service. There were no matching contributions to the 401(k) plan in fiscal 2003. SED International, Inc.’s matching contribution expense for the fiscal years 2004 and 2002 totaled $35,000 and $93,000, respectively.

The new certificates have the same terms as the old certificates, and the holders of the new certificates have the same rights under the new certificates. All applicable amounts reflected herein give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split.
16. | Latin America Economic Situation and Devaluation |
As a result of an ongoing economic crisis, the Argentine government has implemented a number of monetary and exchange control measures including restrictions on the withdrawal of funds deposited with Argentine banks and the practical impossibility of making transfers abroad. On January 6, 2002, the Argentine Congress also approved Law No. 25,561 on Public Emergency and Exchange System Reform that eliminated the pegging of the Argentine peso (ARS) to the US dollar (USD) on a one to one basis. In place of the pegged exchange rate the Central Bank of Argentina established an “official” and a “freely floating” exchange market for transactions originating in Argentina. The “official” exchange rate was fixed at ARS 1.4 to USD 1. The “freely floating” exchange for the ARS as compared to the USD decreased from 1.7 pesos to 1 USD at January 11, 2002 (first day after exchange market was reopened) to 2.97 ARS to 1 USD at June 30, 2004.
In connection with the de-dollarization of the Argentine peso and other changes enacted by the Argentine government, unfavorable consequences have resulted including, but not limited to, (a) the default on public debt payments, (b) the implementation of restrictions on the withdrawal of funds deposited with financial institutions, (c) the practical impossibility of making fund transfers outside Argentina to serve financial obligations without the approval of the Central Bank of Argentina, (d) rising prices and inflation, (e) limited availability of credit, (f) and declining domestic market demand within Argentina.
Since January 1, 2002, the Argentine economy has experienced inflation. Inflation during fiscal 2004 was 4.7% compared to 10% in fiscal 2003. While Argentina’s government together with the International Monetary Fund is seeking remedies, no assurance can be given that the economic situation in Argentina will stabilize. The devaluation, which commenced in January 2002, could make it more difficult for Argentine companies to service their commercial and financial obligations due in or tied to the USD. Any of the foregoing events and a

continuation of the Argentine recession may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, and ability to make payments on the Company’s indebtedness and on the Company’s common stock market price. The information included in the Company’s financial statements, and other documentation, does not contain the potential impact that might arise from the situation described above and, accordingly, should be analyzed considering that circumstance.
17. | Liabilities Under Employment Agreement and Contingent Liabilities |
The Company carried two key man life insurance policies payable to the benefit of the Company on Gerald Diamond, the Company’s founder and Former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer who passed away in June of 2003. At June 30, 2003, the Company recorded a liability of approximately $3.4 million, which represented the Company’s best estimate of the amounts due as benefits to Mr. Diamond’s surviving spouse under Mr. Diamond’s employment contract. The Company also disclosed at June 30, 2003 that it may be contingently liable for additional benefit payments depending on the resolution of issues concerning additional benefits potentially due to Mr. Diamond’s surviving spouse. During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the Company reached a final agreement with Mr. Diamond’s surviving spouse, the Company’s current Chairman, Jean Diamond, to settle all claims advanced under Mr. Diamond’s employment contract. Pursuant to the final settlement agreement, an additional payment of $1.0 million, was made and charged to selling, general and administrative expenses. All amounts due were disbursed during the quarter ended March 31, 2004 and the balance of the liability at June 30, 2004 was $0 as compared to $3.4 million at June 30, 2003.
18. | Discontinued Operations |

The loss from discontinued operations in fiscal 2003 consisted of operating losses incurred in the Brazil Operation and estimated loss on disposal of the business which includes charges for the following: (i) the write-off of foreign currency translation losses of $2.6 million previously recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity, (ii) equipment, (iii) customer accounts receivable, (iv) employee termination costs, (v) inventory, and (vi) facility exit and lease termination costs. As of June 30, 2004, SED International do Brasil Distribuidora, Ltda. had assets of $28,000 and third party liabilities of $370,000. Liabilities include

accounts payable related to inventory purchases of $120,000 and other miscellaneous accrued liabilities of $250,000.
Interest expense for the Brazil Operation for the fiscal years 2003 and 2002 totaled $288,000 and $868,000, respectively, and was based on the actual borrowings from banks by the Brazil operation.
SED International do Brasil Distribuidora, Ltda. has been transitioned from a commercial operating company into dormancy.
