NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
February 28, 2010
(Unaudited)
The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of TSR, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applying to interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. These interim financial statements as of and for the three months and nine months ended February 28, 2010 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for future interim periods or for the full year ending May 31, 2010. The balance sheet at May 31, 2009 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2009.
2. | Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share |
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders (which for the Company equals its net income) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, and diluted net income per common share adds the dilutive effect of stock options and other common stock equivalents. The Company has had no stock options or other common stock equivalents outstanding during any of the periods presented.
3. | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
The Company considers short-term highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents were comprised of the following as of February 28, 2010 and May 31, 2009:
| | | February 28, 2010 | | | May 31, 2009 | |
| | | | | | | |
| Cash in banks | | $ | 1,943,359 | | | $ | 2,008,349 | |

| | | $ | 4,865,085 | | | $ | 4,075,213 | |
The Company’s contract computer programming services are generally provided under time and materials agreements with customers. Revenue is recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104, “Revenue Recognition,” when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. These conditions occur when a customer agreement is effected and the consultant performs the authorized services. Advances from customers represent amounts received from customers prior to the Company’s provision of the related services and credit balances from overpayments.
Reimbursements received by the Company for out-of-pocket expenses are characterized as revenue.

In fiscal 2009, the Company adopted new accounting standards related to fair value measurements. The Company has characterized its investments in marketable securities, based on the priority of the inputs used to value the investments, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the investments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
Investments recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1- These are investments where values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in an active market the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2- These are investments where values are based on quoted market prices that are not active or model derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.
Level 3- These are investments where values are derived from techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.
The following are the major categories of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010 using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2) and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):
| February 28, 2010 | | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Total | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| US Treasury Securities | | $ | 999,191 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 999,191 | |
| Certificates of Deposit | | | — | | | | 2,249,637 | | | | — | | | | 2,249,637 | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Based upon the Company’s intent and ability to hold its US Treasury securities to maturity (which maturities range up to twenty-four months at purchase), such securities have been classified as held-to-maturity and are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The Company’s equity securities are classified as trading securities, which are carried at fair value, as determined by quoted market prices, which is Level 1 input, as established by the fair value hierarchy. The related unrealized gains and losses are included in earnings. The Company’s marketable securities at February 28, 2010 and May 31, 2009 are summarized as follows:
| February 28, 2010 Current | | Amortized Cost | | | Gross Unrealized Holding Gains | | | Gross Unrealized Holding Losses | | | Recorded Value | |

The Company’s investments in marketable securities consist primarily of investments in US Treasury securities and certificates of deposit. Market values were determined for each individual security in the investment portfolio. When evaluating the investments for other-than temporary impairment, the Company reviews factors such as length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time, which may be sufficient for anticipated recovery in market values.
6. | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 825, “Financial Instruments”, requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. For cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts and other payables, accrued liabilities and advances from customers, the amounts presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements approximate fair value because of the short-term maturities of these instruments.
During the nine months ended February 28, 2009, the Company purchased a total of 517,524 shares of its common stock for $1,219,930. This consisted of 61,001 shares purchased in various transactions on the open market for $169,927 under a previously announced repurchase plan of 300,000 shares and an additional 456,523 shares purchased in a private transaction for $1,050,003. The Company has not made any purchases under its repurchase plan since September 2008.
From time to time, the Company is party to various lawsuits, some involving material amounts. Management is not aware of any lawsuits that would have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial position of the Company.

9. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In April 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard to require that disclosures concerning the fair value of financial instruments be presented in interim as well as in annual financial statements. This accounting standard was subsequently codified into ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments.” In addition, the FASB issued an accounting standard to provide additional guidance for determining the fair value of a financial asset or financial liability when the volume and level of activity for such asset or liability have decreased significantly and to also provide guidance for determining whether a transaction is an orderly one. This accounting standard was subsequently codified into ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” The FASB also issued an accounting standard which revised and expanded the guidance concerning the recognition and measurement of other-than-temporary impairments of debt securities classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. In addition, it required enhanced disclosures concerning such impairment for both debt and equity securities. This accounting standard was subsequently codified into ASC Topic 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities.” The requirements of these three accounting standards are effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Early adoption is permitted for interim periods ending after March 15, 2009, but only if the election is made to adopt all these accounting standards. Disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption are not required. In periods after initial adoption, comparative disclosures are required only for periods ending after initial adoption. The Company has adopted the accounting standards for the first quarter of fiscal 2010.
On April 1, 2009, new guidance was adopted which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of, events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This guidance was subsequently amended on February 24, 2010 to no longer require disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events. This accounting standard was subsequently codified into ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events.” The effect of the adoption was not material.
In June 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard which established the Codification to become the single source of authoritative accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities, with the exception of guidance issued by the SEC and its staff. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification is not intended to change GAAP, but rather is expected to simplify accounting research by reorganizing current GAAP into approximately 90 accounting topics and providing all the authoritative literature related to a topic in one place. The Company adopted this accounting standard in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended November 30, 2009 and all subsequent public filings will reference the Codification as the sole source of authoritative literature. The adoption of this accounting standard, which was subsequently codified into ASC Topic 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” had no impact on retained earnings and will have no impact on the Company’s statements of income.

Revenue
Revenue consists primarily of revenue from computer programming consulting services. Revenue for the quarter ended February 28, 2010 decreased $790,000 or 8.1% from the prior year quarter. The average number of consultants on billing with customers decreased from approximately 250 for the quarter ended February 28, 2009 to 217 for the quarter ended February 28, 2010. The majority of this decrease was experienced in the quarter ending May 31, 2009. The continuing impact of the broad based economic downturn has significantly decreased the number of consultants on billing with customers and also decreased the opportunities to place new consultants on billing with customers. The revenue decrease is also the result of the continued reduction in consultants placed with AT&T and lower billing rates caused by discounts and other rate reductions instituted by customers. The current quarter was also impacted by the loss of billing days due to the severe winter weather in the New York metropolitan area.
As a result of the merger of AT&T with SBC Communications, Inc., the Company experienced a decrease in new placements with AT&T beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. This has reduced the number of consultants on billing with AT&T from 50 at February 28, 2008 to 20 at February 28, 2009 and to 4 at February 28, 2010. The Company expects that these changes will continue to impact the Company’s business relationship with AT&T, resulting in few, if any, opportunities to place new consultants at AT&T.
The Company’s revenue from programmers on billing continue to be affected by discounts, such as prompt payment and volume discounts, required by major customers as a condition to remaining on their approved vendor lists and the reduction in the number of vendors on the approved vendor lists to increase pricing competition among the remaining vendors. In addition, most of the Company’s major customers have retained third parties to provide vendor management services and centralize the consultant hiring process. Under this system, the third party retains the Company to provide contract computer programming services, the Company bills the third party and the third party bills the ultimate customer. This process has weakened the relationships the Company has built with its client contacts, the project managers, who the Company would normally work directly with to place consultants. Instead, the Company is required to interface with the vendor management provider, making it more difficult to maintain its relationships with its customers and preserve and expand its business. These changes have also reduced the Company’s profit margins because the vendor management company is retained for the purpose of keeping costs down for the end client and receives a processing fee which is deducted from the payment to the Company. Revenue has also been impacted by the increased use of offshore development companies, particularly in India, over the past few years to provide technology related work and projects. The Company is unable to predict the long-term effects of these changes.
As a result of the broad based economic downturn, the Company has experienced a decrease in the number of consultants on billing with customers. These economic conditions have also reduced the opportunities to place new consultants on billing with customers. While customers’ IT spending during the 2010 fiscal year does not appear to be declining the way it had in prior fiscal years during the economic downturn, any improvements appear to be slow and uncertain and the Company expects that the economic conditions will continue to affect the number of consultants on billing with customers and the Company’s revenue.
Cost of sales for the quarter ended February 28, 2010, decreased $539,000 or 6.8% to $7,419,000 from $7,958,000 in the prior year period. The decrease in cost of sales resulted primarily from the decrease in the number of consultants on billing with clients. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue increased from 81.6% in the quarter ended February 28, 2009 to 82.8% in the quarter ended February 28, 2010. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to lower revenue generated from a few of the Company’s major accounts due to increased competitive pressures.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of expenses relating to account executives, technical recruiters, facilities costs, management and corporate overhead. These expenses decreased $92,000 or 5.6% from $1,636,000 in the quarter ended February 28, 2009 to $1,544,000 in the quarter ended February 28, 2010. This decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in the number of sales and recruiting personnel and lower commissions paid to the remaining sales and recruiting personnel due to lower revenue. Technical recruiters and account executives have been terminated in order to lessen the impact of the Company’s reduced level of business activity. However, while selling, general and administrative expenses decreased, these expenses as a percentage of revenue increased from 16.8% in the quarter ended February 28, 2009 to 17.2% in the quarter ended February 28, 2010 as a result of lower revenue.
Income (Loss) from Operations
Income from operations decreased $159,000 from $157,000 in the quarter ended February 28, 2009 to a loss of $2,000 in the quarter ended February 28, 2010. The decrease was primarily attributable to the reduced revenue from the decrease in the number of consultants on billing with customers and the loss of work days in the current quarter due to the severe winter weather.
Other Income
Other income for the quarter ended February 28, 2010 resulted primarily from interest and dividend income of $6,000, which decreased by $24,000 from the level realized in the quarter ended February 28, 2009 due to lower interest rates earned on the Company’s US Treasury securities, certificates of deposit and money market accounts as well as lower average investable assets.
Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate was 43.0% in the quarter ended February 28, 2009. The income tax provision included in the Company’s results of operations for the quarter ended February 28, 2010 reflects the Company’s estimated effective tax rate for the year ending May 31, 2010.
Net Income (Loss)
Net income decreased $109,000 from $106,000 in the quarter ended February 28, 2009 to a loss of $3,000 in the quarter ended February 28, 2010. Net income decreased primarily due to lower revenue from a decreased number of consultants on billing with clients and lower interest income earned on the Company’s US Treasury securities and money market accounts.

Revenue
Revenue consists primarily of revenue from computer programming consulting services. Revenue for the nine months ended February 28, 2010 decreased $6,044,000 or 18.1% from the prior year period. The average number of consultants on billing with customers decreased from approximately 276 for the nine months ended February 28, 2009 to 218 for the nine months ended February 28, 2010. The majority of this decrease was experienced in the quarter ending May 31, 2009. The continuing impact of the broad based economic downturn has significantly decreased the number of consultants on billing with customers and also decreased the opportunities to place new consultants on billing with customers. The revenue decrease is also the result of the continued reduction in consultants placed with AT&T and lower billing rates caused by discounts and other rate reductions instituted by customers.
Revenues for the nine months ended February 28, 2010 were affected by the same factors as previously described in the discussion of the three months ended February 28, 2010. See page 12.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the nine months ended February 28, 2010, decreased $4,933,000 or 18.0% to $22,520,000 from $27,453,000 in the prior year period. The decrease in cost of sales resulted primarily from the decrease in the number of consultants on billing with clients. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue increased from 82.1% in the nine months ended February 28, 2009 to 82.2% in the nine months ended February 28, 2010. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to lower revenue generated from a few of the Company’s major accounts due to increased competitive pressures.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of expenses relating to account executives, technical recruiters, facilities costs, management and corporate overhead. These expenses decreased $546,000 or 10.6% from $5,132,000 in the nine months ended February 28, 2009 to $4,586,000 in the nine months ended February 28, 2010. This decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in the number of sales and recruiting personnel and lower commissions paid to the remaining sales and recruiting personnel due to lower revenue. Technical recruiters and account executives have been terminated in order to lessen the impact of the Company’s reduced level of business activity. However, while selling, general and administrative expenses decreased, these expenses as a percentage of revenue increased from 15.4% in the nine months ended February 28, 2009 to 16.8% in the nine months ended February 28, 2010 as a result of lower revenue.
Income from Operations
Income from operations decreased $565,000 or 66.3% from $852,000 in the nine months ended February 28, 2009 to $287,000 in the nine months ended February 28, 2010. The decrease was primarily attributable to the reduced revenue from the decrease in the number of consultants on billing with customers.
In November 2009, the Company settled a preference claim asserted by the trustee in bankruptcy of a vendor management company relating to payments received by the Company during the 90 days prior to the bankruptcy filing for $100,000. The Company had provided for this contingency in prior periods as part of its allowance for doubtful accounts and, as a result, the charge was applied to this reserve. Accordingly, there was no impact on income from operations.
Other Income
Other income for the nine months ended February 28, 2010 resulted primarily from interest and dividend income of $39,000, which decreased by $93,000 from the level realized in the nine months ended February 28, 2009 due to lower interest rates earned on the Company’s US Treasury securities, certificates of deposit and money market accounts as well as lower average investable assets.
Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate increased from 42.0% in the nine months ended February 28, 2009 to 45.2% in the nine months ended February 28, 2010. Additional income taxes were provided in the current period as the result of certain state income taxes and additional income taxes due when filing the May 31, 2009 returns.
Net Income
Net income decreased $385,000 or 68.0% from the nine months ended February 28, 2009 to the nine months ended February 28, 2010. Net income decreased primarily due to lower revenue from a decreased number of consultants on billing with clients and lower interest income earned on the Company’s US Treasury securities and money market accounts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company expects that cash flow generated from operations together with its cash and marketable securities will be sufficient to provide the Company with adequate resources to meet its liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months.
At February 28, 2010, the Company had working capital of $12,440,000 including cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit and marketable securities of $8,130,000 as compared to working capital of $12,288,000 including cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit and marketable securities of $8,584,000 at May 31, 2009.
For the nine months ended February 28, 2010, net cash used in operating activities was $416,000 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $1,344,000 for the nine months ended February 28, 2009, or a decrease of $1,760,000. The cash used in operating activities primarily resulted from an increase in accounts receivable of $589,000 and a decrease in accounts and other payables and accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $107,000, offset by net income. The increase in accounts receivable resulted primarily from additional accounts extending their payment terms from sixty to ninety days. The decrease in accounts and other payables and accrued expenses resulted primarily from a decrease in accrued payroll resulting from the decrease in consultants on billing with customers. The cash provided by operating activities in the nine months ended February 28, 2009, resulted primarily from net income and a decrease in accounts receivable.
Net cash provided by investing activities of $1,246,000 for the nine months ended February 28, 2010 primarily resulted from the maturity of US Treasury securities.
Net cash used in financing activities resulted from distributions to the noncontrolling interest of $39,000 in the nine months ended February 28, 2010. In the nine months ended February 28, 2009, net cash used in financing activities resulted from purchases of treasury stock of $1,220,000 and cash dividends paid of $768,000. In December 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company reaffirmed a plan previously approved in December 2007 authorizing the repurchase of shares of Common Stock and approximately 239,000 shares remain available for purchase under this plan. The Company has not made any purchases under this plan since September 2008. The Board of Directors determined to suspend the payment of further dividends effective after the dividend paid on February 9, 2009 for the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The Board of Directors may reevaluate the Company’s dividend policy once the economic conditions stabilize.
The Company’s capital resource commitments at February 28, 2010 consisted of lease obligations on its branch and corporate facilities. The Company intends to finance these lease commitments from cash flow provided by operations, available cash and short-term marketable securities.
The Company’s cash and marketable securities were sufficient to enable it to meet its cash requirements during the nine months ended February 28, 2010. The Company has available a revolving line of credit of $5,000,000 with a major money center bank through April 30, 2010. As of February 28, 2010, no amounts were outstanding under this line of credit. The Company has decided not to extend this line of credit past April 30, 2010. The Company has never drawn on this revolving line of credit and does not believe it is necessary to meet its liquidity requirements in the next twelve months.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard to require that disclosures concerning the fair value of financial instruments be presented in interim as well as in annual financial statements. This accounting standard was subsequently codified into ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments.” In addition, the FASB issued an accounting standard to provide additional guidance for determining the fair value of a financial asset or financial liability when the volume and level of activity for such asset or liability have decreased significantly and to also provide guidance for determining whether a transaction is an orderly one. This accounting standard was subsequently codified into ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” The FASB also issued an accounting standard which revised and expanded the guidance concerning the recognition and measurement of other-than-temporary impairments of debt securities classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. In addition, it required enhanced disclosures concerning such impairment for both debt and equity securities. This accounting standard was subsequently codified into ASC Topic 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities.” The requirements of these three accounting standards are effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Early adoption is permitted for interim periods ending after March 15, 2009, but only if the election is made to adopt all these accounting standards. Disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption are not required. In periods after initial adoption, comparative disclosures are required only for periods ending after initial adoption. The Company has adopted the accounting standards for the first quarter of fiscal 2010.
On April 1, 2009, new guidance was adopted which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of, events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This guidance was subsequently amended on February 24, 2010 to no longer require disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events. This accounting standard was subsequently codified into ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events.” The effect of the adoption was not material.
In June 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard which established the Codification to become the single source of authoritative accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities, with the exception of guidance issued by the SEC and its staff. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification is not intended to change GAAP, but rather is expected to simplify accounting research by reorganizing current GAAP into approximately 90 accounting topics and providing all the authoritative literature related to a topic in one place. The Company adopted this accounting standard in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended November 30, 2009 and all subsequent public filings will reference the Codification as the sole source of authoritative literature. The adoption of this accounting standard, which was subsequently codified into ASC Topic 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” had no impact on retained earnings and will have no impact on the Company’s statements of income.
Critical Accounting Policies
The SEC defines “critical accounting policies” as those that require the application of management’s most difficult subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods.
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, contained in its May 31, 2009 Annual Report on Form10-K, as filed with the SEC. The Company believes that those accounting policies require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. There have been no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies as of February 28, 2010.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal accounting officer, of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal accounting officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the Company’s most recently reported completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
