PAR TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have
been prepared by PAR Technology Corporation (the "Company" or "PAR") in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America for interim financial statements and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X pertaining to interim
financial statements. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do
not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of the Company such unaudited statements include
all adjustments (which comprise only normal recurring accruals) necessary
for a fair presentation of the results for such periods. The results of
operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any future
period. The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be
read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and
notes for the year ended December 31, 2004 included in the Company's
December 31, 2004 Annual Report to the Securities and Exchange Commission
on Form 10-K.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management of
the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the
reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period.
Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include: the
carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, identifiable intangible
assets and goodwill, warranty reserve, valuation allowances for
receivables, inventories and deferred income tax assets. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
2. On October 4, 2005, the Company and its wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary,
PixelPoint, ULC (the "Canadian Subsidiary"), completed their acquisition of
PixelPoint Technologies, Inc. ("PixelPoint") pursuant to which the Canadian
Subsidiary acquired all of the stock of PixelPoint. The purchase price was
$7.5 million and consisted of $422,000 worth of the Company stock (18,140
shares of PAR Technology Corporation common stock issued out of treasury)
and the remainder in cash. The purchase price is subject to adjustment
based on the closing balance sheet of PixelPoint. The purchase price is
also subject to price contingencies based upon future performance.
Based in suburban Toronto, Ontario, PixelPoint Technologies, Inc. is a
premier supplier to the hospitality industry with over 5,000 installations
in full-service restaurants around the globe. Their integrated software
solution includes HeadOffice(R) enterprise management, PocketPOS(TM) a
wireless application that is seamless to their connected capability and
allows remote order taking in the dining room, Web-to-Go(TM) on-line
ordering capability for customers via the internet, and MemberShare(TM) an
in-store and enterprise level Loyalty and Gift Card information sharing
application.
3. On October 1, 2004, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, PAR
Springer-Miller Systems, Inc. (the "Subsidiary"), completed their
transaction with Springer-Miller Systems, Inc. ("Springer-Miller") and John
Springer-Miller pursuant to which the Subsidiary acquired substantially all
of the assets (including the equity interests in each of Springer-Miller
International, LLC and Springer-Miller Canada, ULC), and assumed certain
liabilities, of Springer-Miller. Springer-Miller, based in Stowe, Vermont,
is a provider of hospitality management solutions for all types of
hospitality enterprises including resort hotels, destination spa and golf
properties, timeshare properties and casino resorts worldwide.
On an unaudited proforma basis, assuming the completed acquisition had
occurred as of the beginning of the period presented, the consolidated
results of the Company would have been as follows (in thousands, except per
share amounts):
For the three months For the nine months
ended September 30, 2004 ended September 30, 2004
------------------------ ------------------------
Net revenues $ 46,481 $ 135,660
Net income $ 1,308 $ 3,663
Earnings per share:
Basic $ .15 $ .41
Diluted $ .14 $ .39
The unaudited proforma financial information presented above gives effect
to purchase accounting adjustments which have resulted or are expected to
result from the acquisition. This proforma information is not necessarily
indicative of the results that would actually have been obtained had the
companies been combined for the period presented.
4. Inventories are primarily used in the manufacture and service of
Hospitality products. The components of inventory, net of related reserves,
consist of the following:
(In Thousands)
--------------
September 30, December 31,
2005 2004
------------ -----------
Finished goods $ 4,998 $ 4,745
Work in process 1,484 1,296
Component parts 7,020 4,568
Service parts 16,129 16,438
--------- ----------
$ 29,631 $ 27,047
========= ==========
At September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company had recorded
reserves for shrinkage, excess and obsolete inventory of $4,385,000 and
$3,982,000, respectively.
5. In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R"), which
replaces SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS
123") and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees." In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission released
a final rule "Amendment to Rule 4-01(a) of Regulation S-X Regarding the
Compliance Date for Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
(Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment". This rule defers the date for which
we will be required to adopt SFAS 123R until January 1, 2006. SFAS 123R
requires that all share-based payments to employees, including grants of
employee stock options, be recognized in the financial statements based on
their fair values. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under
SFAS 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement
recognition. We are currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS 123R and
its impact on our consolidated results of operations and earnings per
share. We have not yet determined the effect of adopting SFAS 123R, and it
has not been determined whether the adoption will result in amounts similar
to the current pro forma disclosures under SFAS 123.
Had compensation cost for the Company's stock-based compensation plans been
recorded based on the fair values of the respective options on their grant
dates for those awards, consistent with the requirements of SFAS No. 123,
the Company's net income and earnings per share would have been adjusted to
the proforma amounts indicated below (in thousands, except per share data):
For the three months For the nine months
ended September 30, ended September 30,
--------------------- ---------------------

--------- --------- --------- --------
Proforma net income $ 2,426 $ 1,685 $ 5,904 $ 3,637
========= ========= ========= ========
Earnings per share:
As reported -- Basic $ .27 $ .20 $ .68 $ .44
Diluted $ .26 $ .19 $ .64 $ .41
Proforma -- Basic $ .26 $ .19 $ .65 $ .42
Diluted $ .25 $ .18 $ .61 $ .40
6. Earnings per share are calculated in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings per Share", which specifies the
computation, presentation, and disclosure requirements for earnings per
share (EPS). It requires the presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic
EPS excludes all dilution and is based upon the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the
potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to
issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.
The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average shares
outstanding for the basic and diluted EPS computations (in thousands,
except per share data):

7. The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that have
separate management teams and infrastructures that offer different products
and services.
The Company has two reportable segments, Hospitality and Government. The
Hospitality segment offers integrated solutions to the hospitality
industry. These offerings include industry leading hardware and software
applications utilized in point-of-sale, back of store and corporate office
applications as well as in the hotel/resort/spa marketplace. This segment
also offers customer support including field service, installation,
twenty-four hour telephone support and depot repair. The Government segment
develops advanced technology prototype systems primarily for the Department
of Defense and other Governmental agencies. It provides services for
operating and maintaining certain U.S. Government-owned communication and
test sites, and for planning, executing and evaluating experiments
involving new or advanced radar systems. It is also involved in developing
technology to track mobile chassis. Intersegment sales and transfers are
not significant.

Forward-Looking Statement
This document contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Any statements in this document that do not
describe historical facts are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements in this document (including forward-looking statements regarding the
continued health of the Hospitality industry, future information technology
outsourcing opportunities, an expected increase in funding by the U.S.
Government relating to the Company's logistics management contracts, the impact
of current world events on our results of operations, the affects of inflation
on our margins, and the affects of interest rate and foreign currency
fluctuations on our results of operations) are made pursuant to the safe harbor
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When we use
words such as "intend," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "plan," "will," or
"expect", we are making forward-looking statements. We believe that the
assumptions and expecta-tions reflected in such forward-looking statements are

technology features they need to service the guest individually, exceed guests'
expectations, and increase property revenues through necessary operational
efficiencies. PAR is focused on providing to our customers enterprise management
products, solutions and services, that are created to maximize operational
performance, augment cost-effectiveness and enhance faster execution of critical
business processes. The Company maintains an impressive customer list in this
business including: Pebble Beach Resorts, The Four Seasons, The Kingsmill
Resort, Grand Cypress, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, the Mandarin Oriental Hotel
Group, and Destination Hotels & Resorts.
Government Segment
- ------------------
The Company's other subsidiaries, PAR Government Systems Corporation and
Rome Research Corporation, are both Government contractors. As a Government
contractor since 1968, PAR provides information technology and communications
support services to the three principal armed services of the United States:
Navy, Air Force and Army. Also, PAR serves clients in several additional U.S.
federal, state and local government agencies. PAR focuses its applied technology
on providing high quality technical products and services, ranging from
experimental studies to advanced operational systems, within a variety of areas
of research, including radar, image and signal processing, logistics management
systems, and geospatial services and products. In addition, through
Government-sponsored research and development, PAR has developed technologies
with useful commercial applications. A prime example of this "technology
transfer" is the Company's hospitality point-of-sale technology, which was
created from research and development involving microchip processing technology
sponsored by the Department of Defense. The Company's high quality service
allows PAR to continually secure repeat business and long-term client
relationships and also to compete effectively for new clients and new contracts.
The demand for PAR's services is created by the increasingly complex systems and
technology environments in which government agencies operate, and by the need to
stay up-to-date with new technologies while maintaining the highest standards of
productivity and performance.
Summary
- -------
During the first nine months of 2005, the overall hospitality market
continued the positive trend set in 2004 as evidenced by improved results
reported for the Company's major customers, and in particular, the quick-service
restaurant segment, including McDonald's and Yum! Brands. In 2004, PAR acquired
the assets of Springer-Miller Systems which enhanced significantly the Company's
software product offerings in the global hospitality technology market.
PAR's Government segment continues to add business in 2005 associated with
technical outsourcing for the U.S. Military. PAR provides outsourcing services
for the three main branches of the U.S. military, as well as other Federal
Government Agencies including the International Broadcasting Bureau (IBB) and
the General Services Administration (GSA).
For the remainder of 2005, the Company fully expects continued positive
industry trends of the hospitality technology market and additional Government
technical outsourcing opportunities. During the Company's history, PAR has been
successful in establishing a leadership position in its two businesses through
the application of several Company fundamentals including setting the pace of
new technology introduction, outstanding customer service, expanding our markets
across the globe and empowering the entire PAR team to produce positive results
for the Company. By stressing these fundamentals, the Company can significantly
influence the direction of the hospitality technology industry and continue to
grow its business around the globe.

The following discussion and analysis highlights items having a significant
affect on operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005.
This discussion may not be indicative of future operations or earnings. It
should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto and other financial and statistical information
included in this report.
Results of Operations -- Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared to Three
Months Ended September 30, 2004
The Company reported revenues of $52.2 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2005, an increase of 22% from the $42.6 million reported for the
three months ended September 30, 2004. The Company's net income for the three
months ended September 30, 2005 was $2.5 million, or $.26 diluted net income per
share, compared to net income of $1.7 million and $.19 per diluted share for the
same period in 2004.
Product revenues from the Company's Hospitality segment were $22.9 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of 23% from the $18.5
million recorded in 2004. The principal reason for this increase was sales to
new and existing restaurant technology customers. Also contributing to this
growth was sales to the Company's resort and spa customers.
Customer service revenues are also generated by the Company's Hospitality
segment. The Company's service offerings include system integration,
installation, training, twenty-four hour help desk support, software maintenance
and various depot and on-site service options. Customer service revenues were
$15.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of 30%
from the $11.6 million for the same period in 2004. This increase was due
primarily to systems integration and software maintenance revenues associated
with the Company's resort and spa customers. Additionally, the Company increased
its field service and support center revenue for its restaurant customers by 20%
or $1 million. This was partially offset by a decline in installation revenue
due to a greater number of customer's performing self-installation.
Contract revenues from the Company's Government segment were $14.3 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of 14% when compared
to the $12.5 million recorded in the same period in 2004. The primary reason for
this growth was an $829,000 or 12% increase in information technology
outsourcing revenue for contracts for facility operations at U.S. Department of
Defense Telecommunication sites throughout the world. Also, contributing to this
increase was a $490,000 increase in revenue under the Company's Logistics
Management Program.
Product margins for the three months ended September 30, 2005 were 42.1%,
an increase from 34.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2004. This
increase in margins was primarily attributable to higher software revenue. This
software revenue was generated from the Company's resort, spa and restaurant
customers. The increase was also due to a large integration project for a major
customer in 2004 that involved lower margin peripheral hardware products. This
project has been substantially completed.
Customer Service margins were 23.6% for the three months ended September
30, 2005 compared to 13.5% for the same period in 2004. This increase was
primarily due to service integration and software maintenance revenue associated
with the Company's resort and spa products. The increase was also due to
additional service contracts for the Company's restaurant customers.
Contract margins were 7% for the three months ended September 30, 2005
unchanged from the same period in 2004. In 2005, the Company benefited by higher
margins or certain fixed price jobs offset by higher than anticipated award fees
in 2004 on certain image and digital processing contracts. The most significant
components of contract costs in 2005 and 2004 were labor and fringe benefits.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2005 labor and fringe benefits were $9.6
million or 73% of contract costs compared to $8.7 million or 75% of contract
costs for the same period in 2004.
Selling, general and administrative expenses are virtually all related to
the Company's Hospitality segment. Selling, general and administrative expenses
for the three months ended September 30, 2005 were $7.5 million, an increase of
53% from the $4.9 million expended for the same period in 2004. The increase was
primarily attributable to a rise in selling and marketing expenses due to sales
of the Company's resort and spa software products.
Research and development expenses relate primarily to the Company's
Hospitality segment. Research and development expenses were $2.5 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of 96% from the $1.3 million
recorded in 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to the Company's
development efforts in its resort and spa products. The Company also increased
its investment in its traditional hardware and software restaurant products.
Amortization of identifiable intangible assets was $246,000 for the quarter
ended September 30, 2005 and relates to the October 1, 2004 acquisition of
Springer-Miller Systems, Inc.
Other income, net, was $191,000 for the three months ended September 30,
2005 compared to $190,000 for the same period in 2004. Other income primarily
includes rental income and foreign currency gains and losses. There were no
significant variances in 2005 as compared to 2004.
Interest expense represents interest charged on the Company's short-term
borrowing requirements from banks and from long-term debt. Interest expense was
$41,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $27,000 in the
third quarter of 2004. The increase is due to a higher average borrowing rate in
2005 when compared to 2004.
For the three months ended September 30, 2005, the Company's effective tax
rate was 38.3%, compared to 38.5% in 2004. The variance from the federal
statutory rate in 2005 and 2004 was primarily due to state income taxes.
Results of Operations -- Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared to
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004
The Company reported revenues of $152.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005, an increase of 23% from the $123.5 million reported for the
nine months ended September 30, 2004. The Company's net income for the nine
months ended September 30, 2005 was $6.2 million, or $.64 diluted net income per
share, compared to net income of $3.8 million and $.41 per diluted share for the
same period in 2004.
Product revenues from the Company's Hospitality segment were $66.8 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of 23% from the $54.2
million recorded in 2004. The primary factor contributing to the increase was
software revenue from the Company's resort and spa customers. Also contributing
to this growth were sales to new and existing restaurant technology customers.
Customer service revenues are also generated by the Company's Hospitality
segment. The Company's service offerings include system integration,
installation, training, twenty-four hour help desk support, software maintenance
and various depot and on-site service options. Customer service revenues were
$42.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of 32%
from the $32.5 million for the same period in 2004. This increase was due
primarily to systems integration and software maintenance revenues associated
with the Company's resort and spa customers.
Contract revenues from the Company's Government segment were $42.5 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of 16% when compared
to the $36.8 million recorded in the same period in 2004. Contributing to this
growth was a $1.5 million or 7% increase in information technology outsourcing
revenue from contracts for facility operations at critical U.S. Department of
Defense telecommunication sites across the globe. These outsourcing operations
directly support U.S. Navy, Air Force and Army operations as the military seeks
to convert its information technology communications facilities into
contractor-run operations and to meet new requirements with contractor support.
Also contributing to this growth was a $1.4 million increase in revenue from the
Company's Logistics Management Program. The remainder of the increase is
primarily due to contacts involving signal and processing technology.
Product margins for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were 40.1%, an
increase from 32.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. This increase
in margins was primarily attributable to higher software revenue. This software
revenue was generated from the Company's resort, spa and restaurant customers.
Customer Service margins were 23.3% for the nine months ended September 30,
2005 compared to 13.6% for the same period in 2004. This increase was primarily
due to service integration and software maintenance revenue associated with the
Company's resort and spa products.
Contract margins were 6.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005
versus 6.8 % for the same period in 2004. The decline in contract margins is
primarily attributable to a higher than anticipated performance-based award fee
on an imagery information technology contract in 2004. The most significant
components of contract costs in 2005 and 2004 were labor and fringe benefits.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 labor and fringe benefits were $29
million or 73% of contract costs compared to $26.3 million or 77% of contract
costs for the same period in 2004.
Selling, general and administrative expenses are virtually all related to
the Company's Hospitality segment. Selling, general and administrative expenses
for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were $22.2 million, an increase of
46% from the $15.1 million expended for the same period in 2004. The increase
was primarily attributable to a rise in selling and marketing expenses due to
sales of the Company's resort and spa software products and the Company's
traditional hardware products.
Research and development expenses relate primarily to the Company's
Hospitality segment. Research and development expenses were $6.9 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of 75% from the $3.9 million
recorded in 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to the Company's
development efforts in its newly acquired resort and spa products. The Company
also increased its investment in its traditional hardware and software products.
Amortization of identifiable intangible assets was $736,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2005 and relates to the October 1, 2004 acquisition
of Springer-Miller Systems, Inc.
Other income, net, was $495,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
2005 compared to $588,000 for the same period in 2004. Other income primarily
includes rental income and foreign currency gains and losses. The decline was
due to lower currency gains in 2005.
Interest expense represents interest charged on the Company's short-term
borrowing requirements from banks and from long-term debt. Interest expense was
$184,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $146,000
recorded in 2004. The increase was due to a greater average borrowing rate in
2005.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company's effective tax
rate was 38.1%, unchanged from 2004. The variance from the federal statutory
rate in 2005 and 2004 was primarily due to state income taxes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's primary sources of liquidity have been cash flow from
operations and lines of credit with various banks. Cash provided by continuing
operations was $7.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005
compared to $12.8 million for 2004. In 2005, cash flow was generated primarily
from operating profits and the timing of vendor payments for material purchases.
This was partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable and inventory.
In 2004, cash flow benefited from a reduction in accounts receivable, operating
profits for the period and timing of vendor payments.
Cash used in investing activities was $2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 compared to $1.8 million for the same period in 2004. In
2005, capital expenditures were $1.4 million and were principally for
manufacturing and research and development equipment. Capitalized software costs
relating to software development of Hospitality segment products were $528,000
in 2005. In 2004, capital expenditures were $1.2 million and were primarily for
manufacturing equipment and information technology equipment and software for
internal use. Capitalized software costs relating to software development of
Hospitality segment products were $597,000 in 2004.
Cash used in financing activities was $8.8 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2005 versus $6.5 million for the same period in 2004. In
2005, the Company reduced its short-term bank borrowings by $10.2 million and
received $1.5 million from the exercise of employee stock options. During 2004,
the Company reduced its short-term bank borrowings by $7 million and received
$551,000 from the exercise of employee stock options.
The Company has an aggregate availability of $20,000,000 in bank lines of
credit. One line totaling $12,500,000 bears interest at the bank borrowing rate
(6% at September 30, 2005) and is subject to loan covenants including a debt to
tangible net worth ratio of 1.4 to 1; a minimum working capital requirement of
at least $25 million; and a debt coverage ratio of 4 to 1. The total amount of
credit available under this facility at a given time is based on (a) 80% of the
Company's accounts receivable under 91 days outstanding attributable to the
Company's Hospitality segment and (b) 40% of the Company's inventory, excluding
work in process. This line expires on April 30, 2006. The second line of
$7,500,000 allows the Company, at its option, to borrow funds at the LIBOR rate
plus the applicable interest rate spread or at the bank's prime lending rate
(6.75% at September 30, 2005). This facility contains certain loan covenants
including a leverage ratio of not greater than 4 to 1 and a fixed charge
coverage ratio of not less than 4 to 1. This line expires on October 30, 2006.
Both lines are collateralized by certain accounts receivable and inventory. The
Company was in compliance with all loan covenants on September 30, 2005. At
September 30, 2005, there were no borrowings under these lines.
During fiscal year 2005, the Company anticipates that its capital
requirements will be approximately $2 million. The Company does not usually
enter into long term contracts with its major Hospitality segment customers. The
Company commits to purchasing inventory from its suppliers based on a
combination of internal forecasts and the actual orders from customers. This
process, along with good relations with suppliers, minimizes the working capital
investment required by the Company. Although the Company lists two major
customers, McDonald's and Yum! Brands, it sells to hundreds of individual
franchisees of these corporations, each of which is individually responsible for
its own debts. These broadly made sales substantially reduce the impact on the
Company's liquidity if one individual franchisee reduces the volume of its
purchases from the Company in a given year. The Company, based on internal
forecasts, believes its existing cash, line of credit facilities and its
anticipated operating cash flow will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements
through at least the next twelve months. However, the Company may be required,
or could elect, to seek additional funding prior to that time. The Company's
future capital requirements will depend on many factors including its rate of
revenue growth, the timing and extent of spending to support product development
efforts, expansion of sales and marketing, the timing of introductions of new
products and enhancements to existing products, and market acceptance of its
products. The Company cannot assure that additional equity or debt financing
will be available on acceptable terms or at all. The Company's sources of
liquidity beyond twelve months, in management's opinion, will be its cash
balances on hand at that time, funds provided by operations, funds available
through its lines of credit and the long-term credit facilities that it can
arrange.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company's consolidated financial statements are based on the
application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAP). GAAP requires the use of estimates, assumptions, judgments and
subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the
assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported. The Company believes
its use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and
are consistently applied. Valuations based on estimates are reviewed for
reasonableness and adequacy on a consistent basis throughout the Company.
Primary areas where financial information of the Company is subject to the use
of estimates, assumptions and the application of judgment include revenue
recognition, accounts receivable, inventories, intangible assets and taxes.
Revenue Recognition Policy
The Company recognizes revenue generated by the Hospitality segment using
the guidance from SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition"
and the AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition,"
and other applicable revenue recognition guidance and interpretations. Product
revenue consists of sales of the Company's standard point-of-sale and property
management systems of the Hospitality segment. The Company recognizes revenue
from the sale of complete restaurant systems (which primarily includes hardware
or hardware and software) upon delivery to the customer site or upon
installation for certain software products. For restaurant systems that are
self-installed by the customer or an unrelated third party and for component
sales or supplies, the Company recognizes revenue at the time of shipment. In
addition to product sales, the Company may provide installation and training
services, and also offers maintenance contracts to its customers. Installation
and training service revenues are recognized as the services are performed. The
Company's other service revenues, consisting of support, field and depot repair,
are provided to customers either on a time and materials basis or under its
maintenance contracts. Services provided on a time and materials basis are
recognized as the services are performed. Service revenues from maintenance
contracts are deferred when billed and recognized ratably over the related
contract period.
The Company recognizes revenue in its Government segment using the guidance
from SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition." The Company's
contract revenues generated by the Government segment result primarily from
contract services performed for the U.S. Government under a variety of cost-plus
fixed fee, time-and-material and fixed-price contracts. Revenue on cost-plus
fixed fee contracts is recognized based on allowable costs for labor hours
delivered, as well as other allowable costs plus the applicable fee. Revenue on
time and material contracts is recognized by multiplying the number of direct
labor-hours delivered in the performance of the contract by the contract billing
rates and adding other direct costs as incurred. Revenue from fixed-price
contracts is recognized primarily on a straight-line basis over the life of the
fixed-price contract. The Company's obligation under these contracts is to
provide labor hours to conduct research or to staff facilities with no other
deliverables or performance obligations. Anticipated losses on all contracts are
recorded in full when identified. Unbilled accounts receivable are stated in the
Company's consolidated financial statements at their estimated realizable value.
Contract costs, including indirect expenses, are subject to audit and adjustment
through negotiations between the Company and U.S. Government representatives.
Accounts Receivable
Allowances for doubtful accounts are based on estimates of probable losses
related to accounts receivable balances. The establishment of allowances
requires the use of judgment and assumptions regarding probable losses on
receivable balances. We continuously monitor collections and payments from our
customers and maintain a provision for estimated credit losses based on our
historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that we have
identified. While such credit losses have historically been within our
expectations and appropriate reserves have been established, we cannot guarantee
that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that we have
experienced in the past. Thus, if the financial condition of our customers were
to deteriorate, our actual losses may exceed our estimates, and additional
allowances would be required.
Inventories
The Company's inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The
Company uses certain estimates and judgments and considers several factors
(including product demand and changes in technology) to provide for excess and
obsolescence reserves to properly value inventory.
Capitalized Software Development Costs
The Company capitalizes certain costs related to the development of
computer software used in its Hospitality segment under the requirements of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed". Software
development costs incurred prior to establishing technological feasibility are
charged to operations and included in research and development costs. Software
development costs incurred after establishing feasibility are capitalized and
amortized over the estimated economic life when the product is available for
general release to customers.
Goodwill
Following Financial Accounting Standards Board issuance of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets",
(SFAS 142), the Company tests all goodwill for impairment annually, or more
frequently if circumstances indicate potential impairment. The Company has
elected to annually test for impairment at December 31.
Taxes
The Company has significant amounts of deferred tax assets that are
reviewed for recoverability and valued accordingly. These assets are evaluated
by using estimates of future taxable income streams and the impact of tax
planning strategies. Valuations related to tax accruals and assets can be
impacted by changes to tax codes, changes in statutory tax rates and the
Company's estimates of its future taxable income levels.
Factors that could affect future results
A DECLINE IN THE VOLUME OF PURCHASES MADE BY ANY ONE OF THE COMPANY'S MAJOR
CUSTOMERS WOULD MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.
A small number of related customers have historically accounted for a
majority of the Company's net revenues in any given fiscal period. For the
fiscal years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, aggregate sales to our top
two Hospitality segment customers, McDonald's and Yum! Brands, amounted to 51%,
50% and 51%, respectively, of total revenues. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 and 2004, sales to those customers were 40% and 51%,
respectively, of total revenues. Most of the Company's customers are not
obligated to provide us with any minimum level of future purchases or with
binding forecasts of product purchases for any future period. In addition, major
customers may elect to delay or otherwise change the timing of orders in a
manner that could adversely affect the Company's quarterly and annual results of
operations. There can be no assurance that our current customers will continue
to place orders with us, or that we will be able to obtain orders from new
customers.
AN INABILITY TO PRODUCE NEW PRODUCTS THAT KEEP PACE WITH TECHNOLOGICAL
DEVELOPMENTS AND CHANGING MARKET CONDITIONS COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF MARKET
SHARE.
The products we sell are subject to rapid and continual changes in
technology. Our competitors offer products that have an increasingly wider range
of features and capabilities. We believe that in order to compete effectively we
must provide systems incorporating new technologies at competitive prices. There
can be no assurance that we will be able to continue funding research and
development at levels sufficient to enhance our current product offerings, or
that the Company will be able to develop and introduce on a timely basis new
products that keep pace with technological developments and emerging industry
standards and address the evolving needs of customers. There also can be no
assurance that we will not experience difficulties that will result in delaying
or preventing the successful development, introduction and marketing of new
products in our existing markets, or that our new products and product
enhancements will adequately meet the requirements of the marketplace or achieve
any significant degree of market acceptance. Likewise, there can be no assurance
as to the acceptance of our products in new markets, nor can there be any
assurance as to the success of our penetration of these markets, nor to the
revenue or profit margins realized by the Company with respect to these
products. If any of our competitors were to introduce superior software products
at competitive prices, or if our software products no longer met the needs of
the marketplace due to technological developments and emerging industry
standards, our software products may no longer retain any significant market
share. If this were to occur, we could be required to record a charge against
capitalized software costs, which amount to $3.9 million as of September 30,
2005.
WE GENERATE MUCH OF OUR REVENUE FROM THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY AND THEREFORE ARE
SUBJECT TO DECREASED REVENUES IN THE EVENT OF A DOWNTURN EITHER IN THAT INDUSTRY
OR IN THE ECONOMY AS A WHOLE.
For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, we derived
71%, 70% and 72%, respectively, of our total revenues from the Hospitality
industry, primarily the quick service restaurant marketplace. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, revenues from the Hospitality industry
were 72% and 70%, respectively, of total revenues. Consequently, our Hospitality
technology product sales are dependent in large part on the health of the
Hospitality industry, which in turn is dependent on the domestic and
international economy, as well as factors such as consumer buying preferences
and weather conditions. Instabilities or downturns in the Hospitality market
could disproportionately impact our revenues, as clients may either exit the
industry or delay, cancel or reduce planned expenditures for our products.
Although we believe we can assist the quick service restaurant sector of the
Hospitality industry in a competitive environment, given the cyclical nature of
that industry, there can be no assurance that our profitability and growth will
continue.
WE DERIVE A PORTION OF OUR REVENUE FROM GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS, WHICH CONTAIN
PROVISIONS UNIQUE TO PUBLIC SECTOR CUSTOMERS, INCLUDING THE GOVERNMENT'S RIGHT
TO MODIFY OR TERMINATE THESE CONTRACTS AT ANY TIME.
For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, we derived
29%, 30% and 28%, respectively, of our total revenues from contracts to provide
technical services to U.S. Government agencies and defense contractors. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, revenues from such contracts were
28% and 30%, respectively, of total revenues. Contracts with U.S. Government
agencies typically provide that such contracts are terminable at the convenience
of the U.S. Government. If the U.S. Government terminated a contract on this
basis, we would be entitled to receive payment for our allowable costs and, in
general, a proportionate share of our fee or profit for work actually performed.
Most U.S. Government contracts are also subject to modification or termination
in the event of changes in funding. As such, we may perform work prior to formal
authorization, or the contract prices may be adjusted for changes in scope of
work. Termination or modification of a substantial number of our U.S. Government
contracts could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
We perform work for various U.S. Government agencies and departments
pursuant to fixed-price, cost-plus fixed fee and time-and-material, prime
contracts and subcontracts. Approximately 62% of the revenue that we derived
from Government contracts for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 came from
fixed-price or time-and-material contracts. The balance of the revenue that we
derived from Government contracts in the first nine months of 2005 primarily
came from cost-plus fixed fee contracts. Most of our contracts are for one-year
to five-year terms.
While fixed-price contracts allow us to benefit from cost savings, they
also expose us to the risk of cost overruns. If the initial estimates we use for
calculating the contract price are incorrect, we can incur losses on those
contracts. In addition, some of our governmental contracts have provisions
relating to cost controls and audit rights and, if we fail to meet the terms
specified in those contracts, then we may not realize their full benefits. Lower
earnings caused by cost overruns would have an adverse effect on our financial
results.
Under time-and-materials contracts, we are paid for labor at negotiated
hourly billing rates and for certain expenses. Under cost-plus fixed fee
contracts, we are reimbursed for allowable costs and paid a fixed fee. However,
if our costs under either of these types of contract exceed the contract ceiling
or are not allowable under the provisions of the contract or applicable
regulations, we may not be able to obtain reimbursement for all of our costs.
If we are unable to control costs incurred in performing under each type of
contract, such inability to control costs could have a material adverse effect
on our financial condition and operating results. Cost over-runs also may
adversely affect our ability to sustain existing programs and obtain future
contract awards.
WE FACE EXTENSIVE COMPETITION IN THE MARKETS IN WHICH WE OPERATE, AND OUR
FAILURE TO COMPETE EFFECTIVELY COULD RESULT IN PRICE REDUCTIONS AND/OR DECREASED
DEMAND FOR OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.
There are several suppliers who offer Hospitality management systems
similar to ours. Some of these competitors are larger than PAR and have access
to substantially greater financial and other resources and, consequently, may be
able to obtain more favorable terms than we can for components and subassemblies
incorporated into these Hospitality technology products. The rapid rate of
technological change in the Hospitality industry makes it likely that we will
face competition from new products designed by companies not currently competing
with us. These new products may have features not currently available on our
Hospitality products. We believe that our competitive ability depends on our
total solution offering, our product development and systems integration
capability, our direct sales force and our customer service organization. There
is no assurance, however, that we will be able to compete effectively in the
hospitality technology market in the future.
Our Government contracting business has been focused on niche offerings,
primarily signal and image processing, information technology outsourcing and
engineering services. Many of our competitors are, or are subsidiaries of,
companies such as Lockheed-Martin, Raytheon, Northrop-Grumman, BAE, Harris,
Boeing and SAIC. These companies are larger and have substantially greater
financial resources than we do. We also compete with smaller companies that
target particular segments of the Government market. These companies may be
better positioned to obtain contracts through competitive proposals.
Consequently, there are no assurances that we will continue to win Government
contracts as a prime contractor or subcontractor.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MEET THE UNIQUE OPERATIONAL, LEGAL AND FINANCIAL
CHALLENGES THAT RELATE TO OUR INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS, WHICH MAY LIMIT THE
GROWTH OF OUR BUSINESS.
For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, our net
revenues from sales outside the United States were 9%, 11% and 11%,
respectively, of the Company's total revenues. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 and 2004, sales outside the United States were 10% and 9%,
respectively, of the total revenues. We anticipate that international sales will
continue to account for a significant portion of sales. We intend to continue to
expand our operations outside the United States and to enter additional
international markets, which will require significant management attention and
financial resources. Our operating results are subject to the risks inherent in
international sales, including, but not limited to, regulatory requirements,
political and economic changes and disruptions, geopolitical disputes and war,
transportation delays, difficulties in staffing and managing foreign sales
operations, and potentially adverse tax consequences. In addition, fluctuations
in exchange rates may render our products less competitive relative to local
product offerings, or could result in foreign exchange losses, depending upon
the currency in which we sell our products. There can be no assurance that these
factors will not have a material adverse affect on our future international
sales and, consequently, on our operating results.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
INFLATION
Inflation had little affect on revenues and related costs during the first
nine months of 2005. Management anticipates that margins will be maintained at
acceptable levels to minimize the affects of inflation, if any.
INTEREST RATES
As of September 30, 2005, the Company has $2 million in variable long-term
debt. The Company believes that an adverse change in interest rates of 100 basis
points would not have a material impact on our business, financial condition,
results of operations or cash flows.
FOREIGN CURRENCY
The Company's primary exposures relate to certain non-dollar denominated
sales and operating expenses in Europe and Asia. These primary currencies are
the Euro, the Australian dollar and the Singapore dollar. Management believes
that foreign currency fluctuations should not have a significant impact on our
business, financial conditions, results of operations or cash flows due to the
low volume of business affected by foreign currencies.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
As of September 30, 2005, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including
the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial
Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 15d-14(c).
Based upon the evaluation, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer
and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls
and procedures are effective in enabling the Company to identify, process,
record and report information required to be included in the Company's periodic
SEC filings within the required time period.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls.
There was no significant change in the Company's internal controls over
financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act during the
quarter ended September 30, 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, such internal controls over financial reporting.
