NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
The consolidated financial statements of Pomeroy IT Solutions, Inc. (“the Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods have been made. The results of operations for the three month period ended April 5, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future interim periods or for the year ending January 5, 2009.
Use of Estimates in Financial Statements - In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accounting estimates in these financial statements include allowances for trade accounts receivable and vendor accounts receivable, deferred tax valuation allowances and estimates related to assessing the impairment of long-lived assets. Such estimates and assumptions are subject to inherent uncertainties, which may result in actual amounts differing from reported amounts.
The amounts from the first quarter of fiscal 2007 have been reclassified in the consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. The reclassified amounts include cost of revenues and operating expenses. In the Company’s 10K for the 2007 year the historical financial statements were revised to reclassify revenue and cost related to the sale of third party manufacture warranty and service agreements. Below is the first quarter of fiscal 2007, as previously reported in the Company’s 10K for 2007 fiscal year and the first quarter of 2007, after the reclassifications to conform to the current period presentation.

2. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February of 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff position 157-2 which delays the effective date of SFAS157 for non-financial assets and liabilities which are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. We determined there was no impact from the adoption of SFAS No. 157 on our consolidated financial statement and note disclosures.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 allows entities the option to measure eligible financial instruments at fair value as of specified dates. Such election, which may be applied on an instrument by instrument basis, is typically irrevocable once elected. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and became effective for us beginning with the first quarter of 2008. We determined there is no impact from the adoption of SFAS No. 159 on our consolidated financial statement and note disclosures.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, (SFAS No. 161). This statement requires additional disclosures for derivative instruments and hedging activities that include how and why an entity uses derivatives, how these instruments and the related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and related interpretations, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect the entity’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. We determined there is no impact from the adoption of SFAS No. 161 on our consolidated financial statement and note disclosures.
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” which replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS No. 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (formerly referred to as purchase method) is to be used for all business combinations and that an acquirer is identified for each business combination. This Statement defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination and establishes the acquisition date as of the date that the acquirer achieves control. This Statement requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values. This Statement requires the acquirer to recognize acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs separately from the business combination as period expense. This Statement is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company will implement SFAS No. 141(R) for any business combinations occurring at or subsequent to January 5, 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements,” an Amendment of ARB No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements.” SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008. The Company has determined there should be no impact on its financial statements by adopting SFAS No. 160.

3. | Cash and Short-Term Borrowings |
The Company has a Syndicated Credit Facility Agreement with GE Commercial Distribution Finance, which became effective June 25, 2004 (the “Credit Facility”) and is scheduled to expire on June 25, 2008. The Credit Facility, which has been the subject of subsequent modifications, was originally comprised of seven participating lenders, with GE Commercial Distribution Finance (“GECDF”) designated as the “agent” for the lenders. The Credit Facility provides for a floor plan loan facility and a revolving loan commitment, both of which are collateralized primarily by the Company’s accounts receivable. The Credit Facility also provides for a letter of credit facility. The funds available for borrowing by the Company under the Credit Facility are reduced by an amount equal to outstanding advances made to the Company to finance inventory under the floor plan loan facility and the aggregate amount of letters of credit outstanding at any given time.
Effective April 15, 2008, the Credit Facility was amended. The primary changes made to the Credit Facility by the amendment are as follows: (i) decrease in the total Credit Facility from $100 million to $68.7 million with a maximum of $68.7 million (previously $80.0 million) available under the floor plan loan facility and the revolving loan, both of which are collateralized primarily by the Company’s accounts receivable up to a maximum of $68.7 million (previously $80 Million); (ii) memorialize the departure of certain lenders from the Credit Facility and the assignment of their respective commitments under the Credit Facility to the remaining lenders, GECDF and National City Bank, and (iii) revise the tangible net worth covenant on the last day of each fiscal quarter to be no less than $70 million (previously $85.4 million). The Credit Facility allows for either the Company or GECDF, in its capacity as agent for the lenders, to require participating lenders to assign their respective commitments under the Credit Facility to either GECDF or another participating lender. In accordance with the amendment to the Credit Facility, GECDF is extending 72.78% of the credit to the Company and National City Bank is extending 27.22% of the credit to the Company.
A significant part of the Company’s inventory is financed under the floor plan loan facility provided under the Credit Facility. In addition, the Company also finances certain inventory under a separate line of credit with IBM Credit Corporation (“ICC”). At April 5, 2008, the Company’s aggregate line of credit for financing inventory totaled $91.5 million, including $80.0 million under the Credit Facility and $3.5 million with ICC. Borrowings under the Credit Facility floor plan loan facility are made on 30 day notes. Borrowings under the ICC floor plan arrangement are made on 15 day notes. All such borrowings by the Company are secured by the related inventory. Financing on substantially all the advances made under either of these floor plan arrangements is interest free. The Company classifies amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility and ICC floor plan arrangements as accounts payable. As noted above, the amendment to the Credit Facility that was made effective on April 15, 2008, decreased the availability under the floor plan loan facility from a maximum of $80.0 million to a maximum of $68.7 million.
As of April 5, 2008 the balance outstanding under the Credit Facility was $6.9 million. As of January 5, 2008, the Company had no outstanding balance under the Credit Facility. At April 5, 2008 and January 5, 2008 the amounts available under the Credit Facility were $49.7 million and $56.7 million, respectively. Interest on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility is payable monthly based on the LIBOR rate and a pricing grid. As of April 5, 2008 and January 5, 2008, the adjusted LIBOR rate was 4.95% and 7.57% respectively.

The terms of the Credit Facility subject the Company to certain financial covenants which include (i) maintaining a minimum level of tangible net worth (as mentioned above, the amendment to the Credit Facility that was made effective on April 15, 2008, decreased the tangible net worth covenant on the last day of each fiscal quarter from $85.4 million to $70 million), (ii) maintaining a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, (iii) restricting the level of funded indebtedness to EBITDA, and (iv) restricting the amount of net loss after tax. For the fiscal quarter ended April 5, 2008, the Company was in violation of its financial covenants. The Company requested and received a waiver for the breach of the tangible net worth covenant, the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant and the amount of net loss after tax covenant. The Company also violated the level of funded indebtedness to EBITDA covenant as of April 5, 2008. The Company has requested and expects to receive a wavier for violation of this covenant. At January 5, 2008, the Company was in violation of its financial covenants; the Company requested and has received a waiver.
The Company believes that the anticipated cash flow from operations and current financing arrangements will be sufficient to satisfy the Company’s capital requirements for the next twelve months.
4. | Stock-Based Compensation |
During the three months ended April 5, 2008, the Company awarded 55,175 shares of restricted common stock, which vest over a 4-year period. Restricted stock awards are valued at the closing market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant, and the total value of the award is recognized as expense ratably over the vesting period. Total compensation expense recognized for unvested shares was $492 thousand and $116 thousand for the three months ended April 5, 2008 and April 5, 2007, respectively. As of April 5, 2008, the total amount of unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested restricted stock awards was approximately $2.5 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.8 years.

For the three months ended April 5, 2008 and April 5, 2007, the Company recognized approximately $232 thousand and $112 thousand respectively, in expense related to stock options. The approximate unamortized stock option compensation as of April 5, 2008, which will be recorded as expense in future periods, is $872 thousand. The weighted average time over which this expense will be recorded is approximately 28.3 months.
For the three months ended April 5, 2008 and April 5, 2007, the Company recognized approximately $31 thousand and $14 thousand respectively, in expense related to the employee stock purchase plan due to it being compensatory under FAS 123R.

On December 3, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a program to repurchase up to $5.0 million of its outstanding common stock. The Company intends to effect such repurchases, in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”). The acquired shares will be held in treasury or cancelled. The Company anticipates financing the repurchase program out of working capital and its available credit facility. This stock redemption program was approved to remain in place and in full force/effect through December 5, 2008, or the date on which $5 million in repurchases is completed, whichever comes first. In addition, the Board adopted a written trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Act to facilitate the repurchase of its common stock pursuant to the stock repurchase program. Rule 10b5-1 allows the Company to purchase its shares at times when the Company would not ordinarily be in the market because of the Company’s trading policies or the possession of material non-public information. To the extent that the $5 million limit has not been reached by December 5, 2008, the Company will remain authorized to repurchase additional shares under the stock repurchase program following termination of the 10b5-1 plan, without further announcement, or may adopt further 10b5-1 plans pursuant to Board authorization. Under this repurchase plan the Company purchased 222,526 shares at a cost of $1.4 million during the first quarter of 2008. In addition during the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company purchased an additional 8,416 shares withheld at the election of certain holders of restricted stock, from the vested portion of restricted stock awards with a market value approximating the amount of the withholding taxes due from such restricted stock holders.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company repurchased 42,200 shares of common stock at a total cost of $357 thousand under its share repurchase program that expired October 31, 2007.

7. | Supplemental Cash Flow Disclosures |
During the first quarter of 2008, the Company purchased an additional 8,416 shares withheld at the election of certain holders of restricted stock, from the vested portion of restricted stock awards with a market value approximating the amount of the withholding taxes due from such restricted stock holders. The Company added these shares into treasury resulting in an increase of treasury stock of $47 thousand.

On April 9, 2008, we filed a report on Form 8-K reporting that our Board of Directors received a letter from David B. Pomeroy, II, a director of the Company and its largest stockholder, proposing to acquire, with Charlesbank Equity Fund VI, LP, all of the outstanding common stock of the Company not owned by him for a price of $7.05 per share and that the non-binding indication of interest was referred to a Special Committee for review and consideration. On May 6, 2008, a purported class action complaint was filed in the Commonwealth of Kentucky Boone Circuit Court against the Company, each of its directors and two executive officers. Charlesbank Equity Fund VI Limited Partnership and Charlesbank Capital Partners LLC were also named as defendants in the lawsuit. The action was brought by Kenneth Hanninen, an alleged Pomeroy shareholder, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the directors and officers of the Company are in breach of their fiduciary duties to shareholders in connection with the offer letter that the Company received from Mr. Pomeroy. The complaint seeks, among other things, injunctive relief to enjoin the Company, its directors and named executive officers from consummating the acquisition proposed by Mr. Pomeroy and Charlesbank Equity Fund VI, LP, along with attorneys’ fees and costs.
The Company believes that the allegations in the complaint are without merit and intend to vigorously defend the Company and its directors and officers in this matter.
There are various other legal actions arising in the normal course of business that have been brought against the Company. Management believes these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
9. | Restructuring and Severance Charges |
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 and the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company recorded $355 thousand and $581 thousand respectively, for severance due to the realignment of the Company’s operations. As of April 5, 2008 the remaining balance of severance payments is $266 thousand which will be paid out in fiscal 2008.

During fiscal 2004, the Company recorded a charge for severance in the amount of $1.447 million which will be paid through January 2009, related to the resignation of David B. Pomeroy II as Chief Executive Officer. As of April 5, 2008 the remaining balance due to Mr. Pomeroy was $50 thousand.
In 2004 the Company recorded a restructuring charge liability in connection with the merger with the Alternative Resources Corporation (“ARC”) acquisition to eliminate certain duplicative activities and reduce facility requirements. As a result, approximately $6.4 million of costs were recorded as part of the liabilities assumed in the ARC acquisition in October 2004. The restructuring charge consisted of costs of vacating duplicative leased facilities of ARC and severance costs associated with exiting activities. These costs are accounted for under EITF 95-3, "Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with Purchase Business Combinations." These costs were recognized as a liability assumed in the purchase business combination and included in the allocation of the cost to acquire ARC. As of April 5, 2008 the remaining balance of the restructuring liability was $1.97 million.
As of April 5, 2008, the restructuring and severance charge accrual, consisted of the following:

For the first quarter of 2008, the Company had no income tax expense or income tax benefit. During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company increased its tax valuation allowance by $1.6 million for a total allowance of $16.6 million at April 5, 2008. The tax valuation allowance is due to the future uncertainty of the Company’s ability to utilize its deferred tax assets. For the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the $1.6 million increase in tax valuation reserve offset what would have been an income tax benefit; the effective income tax rate would have been 37.5% prior to the recording of the tax valuation reserve. The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 was 39.4%.
As of April 5, 2008 there have been no material changes in the Company’s uncertain tax positions disclosures as provided in note 8 of the 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Company includes interest and penalties related to gross unrecognized tax benefits within the provision for income taxes. As of April 5, 2008, the Company had accrued $270 thousand for payment of such interest.
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in various tax jurisdictions, including the United States and several U.S. states. The Company has substantially concluded all U.S. Federal and State income tax matters for years up to and including 2003.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
First Quarter 2008 versus First Quarter 2007
Total Net Revenues: Total net revenues increased $1.6 million or 1.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2007. For the first quarters of fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007, the net revenues were $143.6 million and $142.0 million, respectively.
Product revenue was $81.5 million and $92.2 million, respectively, for the first quarters of fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007. Product revenue decreased $10.7 million, a decrease of 11.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2007. This decrease was due primarily to the delays of several large customer purchases.
Service revenue was $62.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to $49.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, an increase of $12.4 million or 24.9% from fiscal 2007. The Company groups services revenue into Technical Staffing and Infrastructure Services. Technical Staffing Services support clients’ project requirements, ensures regulatory and customer compliance requirements and promotes success of the staffing projects. Infrastructure Services help clients optimize the various elements of distributed computing environments. Encompassing the complete IT lifecycle, these services include desktop and mobile computing, server and network environments.
Technical Staffing revenue was $31.0 million and accounted for approximately 49.8% of total service revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to $20.5 million and 41.1% in for the first quarter of fiscal 2007. This increase is primarily the result of recognizing revenue for billings on subcontractor personnel which historically have been recorded as fee based services in our vendor management business. Initially this revenue has very low incremental margin but as we convert these subcontractors to Pomeroy resources gross margins improve.
Infrastructure Service revenue was $31.2 million and $29.3 million, respectively, for the first three months of fiscal 2008 and 2007. Infrastructure Service revenues were approximately 50.2% of total service revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to 58.9% for the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The increase in revenue is primarily the result of new service engagements started at the beginning of 2008.
Gross Profit: Gross profit was $15.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to $17.2 million in the first quarter of 2007. Gross profit, as a percentage of revenue, was 10.6% in first quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to 12.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.
The product gross profit was $8.0 million for the first three months of fiscal 2008, compared to $7.9 million for the same period of fiscal 2007. Product gross profit as a percentage of product revenue increased to 9.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to 8.6% for the same period of fiscal 2007. The increase in product gross margin is due primarily to margin improvements as a result of the rebates from OEM partner promotional initiatives.
Service gross profit was $7.2 million for the first three months of fiscal 2008, compared to $9.3 million in the first three months of fiscal 2007. The decline in service gross profit of $2.1 million was the result of reduced utilization and productivity of Infrastructure Services technical resources. Service gross profit as a percentage of service revenue decreased to 11.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to 18.7% for the same period of fiscal 2007. A decrease of approximately 300 basis points in the service gross profit margin relates to two factors. First, the decline in the service gross profit margin was the result of engagements that generated revenue of approximately $1.4 million during the quarter at zero gross profit. We are performing on these contracts until termination in July of fiscal 2008. Second, the conversion of Technical Staffing subcontractors' personnel that generated revenue of approximately $11.9 million during the quarter, that initially had very low incremental gross profit, but as these resources are converted to Pomeroy resources, typically after six months, gross profit improves significantly and gross profit margin should be in the mid-teens. The rest of the decline in the service gross profit margin relates to reduced utilization and productivity of Infrastructure Service technical resources.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Total operating expenses were $19.4 million in the first quarter of 2008, compared to $14.4 million in the first quarter of 2007, an increase of $5.0 million. This increase is primarily driven by an increase of $0.6 million in sales costs related to increase in the sales force headcounts and commissions; an increase of $1.5 million in costs related to investments in personnel to support our product and service businesses and investments to improve customer, vendor and back office support functions; an increase of $0.4 million related to increased professional and outside service provider fees; a charge of approximately $1.0 million to reserve against the collection of amounts over billed by subcontractors for years 2005 and 2006, identified as a result of an audit by our largest staffing customer, the collection of these amounts is uncertain as we no longer do business with many of these subcontractors; an increase related to severance charges of $0.6 million; an increase of $0.3 million related to additional accruals for loss contracts; an increase $0.3 million for start up expenses related to new engagements; and an increase of $0.2 million related to costs for the retirement of directors.
Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue were 13.4% for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to 10.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 2007.
Income (Loss) from Operations
Loss from operations was ($4.1) million in the first quarter of 2008, as compared to income of $2.8 million for the same period of 2007. This decrease is a result of the lower service profit margins for the first three months of fiscal 2008 and the increase in operating expenses, as described above.
Net Interest Income (Expense)
Net interest expense was $70 thousand during the first quarter of 2008 as compared to income of $172 thousand during the first quarter of 2007. During the first quarter of 2008, the Company had amounts outstanding under its credit facility due to the timing of payments of accounts payables and payroll.
Income Tax
For the first quarter of 2008, the Company had no income tax expense or income tax benefit. During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company increased its tax valuation allowance by $1.6 million for a total allowance of $16.6 million at April 5, 2008. The tax valuation allowance is due to the future uncertainty of the Company’s ability to utilize its deferred tax assets. For the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the $1.6 million increase in tax valuation reserve offset what would have been an income tax benefit; the effective income tax rate would have been 37.5% prior to recording the tax valuation reserve. The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 was 39.4%.
Net loss was ($4.2) million in the first quarter of 2008 as compared to net income of $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2007. The change is a result of the factors described above.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash used by operating activities was $16.0 million for the first three months of 2008. Cash used in investing activities was $1.3 million, which included $1.2 million for capital expenditures. Cash provided from financing activities was $5.7 million, which includes short-term borrowings of $6.9 million, the issuance of common shares for $0.2 million, offset by $1.4 million for the purchase of treasury stock.
The amount of cash derived from or used by operating activities will vary based on a number of business factors which may change from time to time, including terms of available financing from vendors, downturns in the Company’s business and/or downturns in the businesses of the Company’s customers. However, a growth or decline in services revenue in conjunction with a change in the proportion of services revenue to total revenue is an underlying driver of operating cash flow during the period of growth because a majority of the Company’s service revenue is generated based upon the billings of the Company’s technicians. The cash outlay for these labor/payroll costs is incurred bi-weekly with each pay period. The invoicing for the service is generated on various billing cycles as dictated by the customers, and the respective cash inflow typically follows within 30 to 60 days of invoice date, which may be as long as 60 to 120 days from the time the services are performed. This differs from product revenue in that the time period between the time that the Company incurs the cost to purchase the products and collects the revenue from its customer is typically shorter, usually from 0 to 60 days, and the Company primarily orders inventory for a particular customer rather than stocking large amounts of inventory. If an increase in service revenue occurs, it may result in a significant decrease in cash flows from operating activities during periods of significant growth or periods of excess technical capacity. In addition, certain services, primarily outsourcing contracts for the Company’s Life Cycle Services, require that the Company maintain a specific parts inventory for servicing the customer; thus, an increase or decrease in the type of services provided can impact inventory levels and operating cash flows.
Cash flows used by operating activities in first three months of 2008 was $16.0 million, compared to cash flows generated by operating activities of $0.2 million, for the same period of 2007. The decrease in cash flows from operating activities for the first three months of fiscal 2008, compared to the first three months of 2007 was due in part to the timing of payments on accounts payable. Changes in accounts payables accounted for $26.9 million of the decrease in the operating cash flow for the first three month of fiscal 2008, compared to $5.5 million decrease for the same period of fiscal 2007. The liability for employee compensation and benefits decreased $3.8 million in the first three months of fiscal 2008, compared to an increase of $2.2 million for the same period of fiscal 2007. Decrease in accounts receivables during the first quarter was due to increased receipts in the quarter and lower sales in the first quarter of 2008 compared to the fourth quarter sales in 2007.
The Company has a Syndicated Credit Facility Agreement with GE Commercial Distribution Finance, which became effective June 25, 2004 (the “Credit Facility”) and is scheduled to expire on June 25, 2008. The Credit Facility, which has been the subject of subsequent modifications, was originally comprised of seven participating lenders, with GE Commercial Distribution Finance (“GECDF”) designated as the “agent” for the lenders. The Credit Facility provides for a floor plan loan facility and a revolving loan commitment, both of which are collateralized primarily by the Company’s accounts receivable. The Credit Facility also provides for a letter of credit facility. The funds available for borrowing by the Company under the Credit Facility are reduced by an amount equal to outstanding advances made to the Company to finance inventory under the floor plan loan facility and the aggregate amount of letters of credit outstanding at any given time.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Effective April 15, 2008, the Credit Facility was amended. The primary changes made to the Credit Facility by the amendment are as follows: (i) decrease in the total Credit Facility from $100 million to $68.7 million with a maximum of $68.7 million (previously $80.0 million) available under the floor plan loan facility and the revolving loan, both of which are collateralized primarily by the Company’s accounts receivable up to a maximum of $68.7 million (previously $80 Million); (ii) memorialize the departure of certain lenders from the Credit Facility and the assignment of their respective commitments under the Credit Facility to the remaining lenders, GECDF and National City Bank; and (iii) revise the tangible net worth covenant on the last day of each fiscal quarter to be no less than $70 million (previously $85.4 million). The Credit Facility allows for either the Company or GECDF, in its capacity as agent for the lenders, to require participating lenders to assign their respective commitments under the Credit Facility to either GECDF or another participating lender. In accordance with the amendment to the Credit Facility, GECDF is extending 72.78% of the credit to the Company and National City Bank is extending 27.22% of the credit to the Company
A significant part of the Company’s inventory is financed under the floor plan loan facility provided under the Credit Facility. In addition, the Company also finances certain inventory under a separate line of credit with IBM Credit Corporation (“ICC”). At April 5, 2008, the Company’s aggregate line of credit for financing inventory totaled $91.5 million, including $80.0 million under the Credit Facility and $3.5 million with ICC. Borrowings under the Credit Facility floor plan loan facility are made on 30 day notes. Borrowings under the ICC floor plan arrangement are made on 15 day notes. All such borrowings by the Company are secured by the related inventory. Financing on substantially all the advances made under either of these floor plan arrangements is interest free. The Company classifies amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility and ICC floor plan arrangements as accounts payable. As noted above, the amendment to the Credit Facility that was made effective on April 15, 2008, decreased the availability under the floor plan loan facility from a maximum of $80.0 million to a maximum of $68.7 million.
As of April 5, 2008 the balance outstanding under the Credit Facility was $6.9 million. As of January 5, 2008, the Company had no outstanding balance under the Credit Facility. At April 5, 2008 and January 5, 2008 the amounts available under the Credit Facility were $49.7 million and $56.7 million, respectively. Interest on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility is payable monthly based on the LIBOR rate and a pricing grid. As of April 5, 2008 and January 5, 2008, the adjusted LIBOR rate was 4.95% and 7.57% respectively.
The terms of the Credit Facility subject the Company to certain financial covenants which include (i) maintaining a minimum level of tangible net worth (as mentioned above, the amendment to the Credit Facility that was made effective on April 15, 2008, decreased the tangible net worth covenant on the last day of each fiscal quarter from $85.4 million to $70 million), (ii) maintaining a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, (iii) restricting the level of funded indebtedness to EBITDA, and (iv) restricting the amount of net loss after tax.

POMEROY IT SOLUTIONS, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
On December 3, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a program to repurchase up to $5.0 million of its outstanding common stock. The Company intends to effect such repurchases, in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”). The acquired shares will be held in treasury or cancelled. The Company anticipates financing the repurchase program out of working capital and its available credit facility. This stock redemption program was approved to remain in place and in full force/effect through the later of December 5, 2008, or the date on which $5 million in repurchases is completed, whichever comes first. In addition, the Board adopted a written trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Act to facilitate the repurchase of its common stock pursuant to the stock repurchase program. Rule 10b5-1 allows the Company to purchase its shares at times when the Company would not ordinarily be in the market because of the Company’s trading policies or the possession of material non-public information. To the extent that the $5 million limit has not been reached by December 5, 2008, the Company will remain authorized to repurchase additional shares under the stock repurchase program following termination of the 10b5-1 plan, without further announcement, or may adopt further 10b5-1 plans pursuant to Board authorization. Under this repurchase plan the Company purchased 222,526 shares at a cost of $1.4 million during the first quarter of 2008. In addition during the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company purchased an additional 8,416 shares withheld at the election of certain holders of restricted stock, from the vested
portion of restricted stock awards with a market value approximating the amount of the withholding taxes due from such restricted stock holders.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company repurchased 42,200 shares of common stock at a total cost of $357 thousand under its share repurchase program that expired October 31, 2007.
Item 3-Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily through its credit facility with GECDF. The Company did not experience a material impact from interest rate risk for the first quarter of fiscal 2008.
Currently, the Company does not have any significant financial investments for trading or other speculative purposes or to manage interest rate exposure.
Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive and principal financial officers, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures over financial reporting designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officers have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of April 5, 2008 (the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
On April 9, 2008, we filed a report on Form 8-K reporting that our Board of Directors received a letter from David B. Pomeroy, II, a director of the Company and its largest stockholder, proposing to acquire, with Charlesbank Equity Fund VI, LP, all of the outstanding common stock of the Company not owned by him for a price of $7.05 per share and that the non-binding indication of interest was referred to a Special Committee for review and consideration. On May 6, 2008, a purported class action complaint was filed in the Commonwealth of Kentucky Boone Circuit Court against the Company, each of its directors and two executive officers. Charlesbank Equity Fund VI Limited Partnership and Charlesbank Capital Partners LLC were also named as defendants in the lawsuit. The action was brought by Kenneth Hanninen, an alleged Pomeroy shareholder, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the directors and officers of the Company are in breach of their fiduciary duties to shareholders in connection with the offer letter that the Company received from Mr. Pomeroy. The complaint seeks, among other things, injunctive relief to enjoin the Company, its directors and named executive officers from consummating the acquisition proposed by Mr. Pomeroy and Charlesbank Equity Fund VI, LP, along with attorneys’ fees and costs. The Company believes that the allegations in the complaint are without merit and intend to vigorously defend the Company and its directors and officers in this matter.
There are various other legal actions arising in the normal course of business that have been brought against the Company. Management believes these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
There are no material changes in the risk factors previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 5, 2008.
