NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
August 31, 2010
(Unaudited)
1.  
Basis of Presentation
 
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 ended August 31, 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, 2011.  The balance sheet at May 31, 2010 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, 2010.

2.  
Net Income Per Common Share
 
Basic net income 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 August 31, 2010 and May 31, 2010:
 
   
August 31,

Certificates of deposit
    250,000        
    $ 4,075,964     $ 5,669,972  
 
 
4.  
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company’s contract computer programming services are generally provided under time and materials arrangements with its 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.  Revenue is recorded net of all discounts and processing fees. 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.

5.  
Marketable Securities
 
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 condensed 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 as of August 31 and 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):
 
 
  August 31, 2010    Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total

US Treasury Securities
  $ 1,498,253     $     $     $ 1,498,253

  $ 1,515,389     $ 1,500,000     $     $ 3,015,389  
                                   
 

Based upon the Company’s intent and ability to hold its US Treasury securities and certificates of deposit 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 market 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 August 31, 2010 and May 31, 2010 are summarized as follows:

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.

7.

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 consolidated financial statements.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Part I.              Financial Information
        Item 2.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to such financial statements.

Forward-Looking Statements
 
Certain statements contained in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, including statements concerning the Company’s future prospects and the Company’s future cash flow requirements are forward looking statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Actual results may differ materially from those projections in the forward looking statements which statements involve risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the following:  the impact of adverse economic conditions on the Company’s business; risks relating to the competitive nature of the markets for contract computer programming services; the extent to which market conditions for the Company’s contract computer consulting services will continue to adversely affect the Company’s business; the concentration of the Company’s business with certain customers; uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to maintain its relations with existing customers and expand its contract computer consulting services business; the impact of changes in the industry, such as the use of vendor management companies in connection with the consultant procurement process, the increase in customers moving IT operations offshore and other risks and uncertainties set forth in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Company is under no obligation to publicly update or revise forward looking statements.

Results of Operations
 
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain financial information derived from the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.  There can be no assurance that trends in operating results will continue in the future:

Revenue
 
Revenue consists primarily of revenue from computer programming consulting services.  Revenue for the quarter ended August 31, 2010 increased $272,000 or 3.0% from the prior year quarter.  The average number of consultants on billing with customers increased from approximately 215 for the quarter ended August 31, 2009 to 222 for the quarter ended August 31, 2010.

The Company’s revenue from programmers on billing continue to be negatively affected by discounts, such as prompt payment and volume discounts, required by major customers as a condition for remaining on their approved vendor list and the reduction in the number of vendors on the approved 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.

As a result of the broad based economic downturn which began in 2008, the Company experienced a decrease in the number of consultants on billing with customers.  These economic conditions also reduced the opportunities to place new consultants on billing with customers. While there are indications that the economy is improving and that levels of business activity is picking up, the economic outlook remains uncertain, particularly in light of the continued weakness in the job market and high unemployment. Although customers’ IT spending may be increasing, the economic outlook remains uncertain and any improvements in the Company’s operating results appear to be slow and uncertain.

Cost of Sales
 
Cost of sales for the quarter ended August 31, 2010, increased $211,000 or 2.8% to $7,657,000 from $7,446,000 in the prior year period.  The increase in cost of sales resulted primarily from the increase in the number of consultants on billing with clients.  Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue decreased from 81.9% in the quarter ended August 31, 2009 to 81.8% in the quarter ended August 31, 2010.  The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to a reduced discount structure at one of the Company’s major accounts.

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 increased $110,000 or 7.2% from $1,526,000 in the quarter ended August 31, 2009 to $1,636,000 in the quarter ended August 31, 2010.  This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of recruiting personnel. Technical recruiters have been hired in order to address increased requests by clients for submissions of technical personnel for potential positions, although such submissions have not yet led to increased placements. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenue, increased from 16.8% in the quarter ended August 31, 2009 to 17.4% in the quarter ended August 31, 2010 as a result of the new hires.

Income from Operations
 
Income from operations decreased $49,000 from $120,000 in the quarter ended August 31, 2009 to $71,000 in the quarter ended August 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily attributable to expenses increasing at a greater rate than revenue.

Other Income
 
Other income for the quarter ended August 31, 2010 resulted primarily from interest and dividend income of $6,000, which decreased by $12,000 from the level realized in the quarter ended August 31, 2009 due to lower interest rates earned on the Company’s US Treasury securities, certificates of deposit and money market accounts.

Income Taxes
 
The income tax provision included in the Company’s results of operations for the quarter ended August 31, 2010 reflects the Company’s estimated effective tax rate for the year ending May 31, 2011. The effective income tax rate was 48.2% in the quarter ended August 31, 2009 and 60.5% for the quarter ended August 31, 2010.

Net Income
 
Net income decreased $42,000 from $83,000 in the quarter ended August 31, 2009 to $41,000 in the quarter ended August 31, 2010.  Net income decreased primarily due to expenses increasing at a greater rate than revenue.

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 August 31, 2010, the Company had working capital (total current assets in excess of total current liabilities) of $12,467,000 including cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit and marketable securities of $8,687,000 as compared to working capital of $12,455,000 including cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit and marketable securities of $8,685,000 at May 31, 2010.

For the three months ended August 31, 2010, net cash provided by operating activities was $37,000 compared to cash used in operating activities of $208,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2009, or an increase of $245,000.  The cash provided by operating activities primarily resulted from net income of $41,000,  an increase in accounts and other payables and accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $368,000, an increase in prepaid expenses of $30,000 and an increase in prepaid income taxes of $26,000,  offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $430,000. The increase in accounts and other payables and accrued expenses resulted primarily from additional business days included in the accrued payroll. The increase in accounts receivable resulted primarily from additional accounts extending their payment terms from sixty to ninety days. The cash used in operating activities in the three months ended August 31, 2009, resulted primarily from an increase in accounts receivable.

Net cash used in investing activities of $1,601,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2010 primarily resulted from the purchase of US Treasury securities and certificates of deposit.

Net cash used in financing activities resulted from distributions to the noncontrolling interest of $4,000 and the purchases of 11,400 shares of common stock for $26,000 in the three months ended August 31, 2010.  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 227,000 shares remain available for purchase under this plan.  In the three months ended August 31, 2009, net cash used in financing activities resulted from a distribution to the noncontrolling interest of $6,000.

The Company’s capital resource commitments at August 31, 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 three months ended August 31, 2010.

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.

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 consolidated financial statements.
 
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, 2010 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 August 31, 2010.

Item 4.             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.
