NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
November 30, 2013
(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 condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended November 30, 2013 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, 2014.  The balance sheet at May 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date.  These condensed consolidated 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, 2013.

 
2.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders of TSR, Inc. by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  The Company 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 November 30, 2013 and May 31, 2013:

    561,692       318,222  
    $ 1,802,761     $ 1,881,161  

 
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 Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, “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

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 November 30, 2013 and May 31, 2013 using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2) and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

    $ 19,424     $ 1,989,000     $ -     $ 2,008,424  

Based upon the Company’s intent and ability to hold its 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 a 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 November 30, 2013 and May 31, 2013 are summarized as follows:

The Company’s investments in marketable securities consist primarily of investments in 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.

Revenue
 
Revenue consists primarily of revenue from computer programming consulting services.  Revenue for the quarter ended November 30, 2013 increased $1,606,000 or 15.2% from the prior year quarter.  The average number of consultants on billing with customers increased from approximately 260 for the quarter ended November 30, 2012 to 306 for the quarter ended November 30, 2013.  The revenue increase was lower than expected from the increase in consultants on billing with customers due to reduced average billing rates for the consultants on billing with customers compared with the prior year quarter.  This resulted from a shift in the business mix as a higher percentage of new placements have been with customers where there is stronger competition due to managed vendor services programs.

Cost of Sales
 
Cost of sales for the quarter ended November 30, 2013, increased $1,296,000 or 14.7% to $10,101,000 from $8,805,000 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 83.4% in the quarter ended November 30, 2012 to 83.0% in the quarter ended November 30, 2013.  The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to increased revenue from full time placement fees which do not have associated direct costs.

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 $35,000 or 1.7% from $2,014,000 in the quarter ended November 30, 2012 to $1,980,000 in the quarter ended November 30, 2013.  This decrease primarily resulted from a reduction of professional fees of $56,000 in the quarter, while the expenses related to technical recruiters and sales executive increased by $28,000. The Company expects selling, general and administrative expenses to continue to increase as more recruiters and sales executives are hired to stimulate growth.  Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenue, decreased from 19.1% in the quarter ended November 30, 2012 to 16.3% in the quarter ended November 30, 2013 as a result of the additional technical recruiters and sales executives hired in the previous fiscal year beginning to contribute additional revenue.

Other Income
 
Other income for the quarter ended November 30, 2013 resulted primarily from interest and dividend income of $1,000, which decreased by $1,000 from the level realized in the quarter ended November 30, 2012 due to lower interest rates earned on the Company’s certificates of deposit and money market accounts. There was also a mark to market gain of $1,500 on the Company’s equity securities for the quarter ended November 30, 2013.

Income Taxes
 
The income tax provision (benefit) included in the Company’s results of operations for the quarters ended November 30, 2013 and 2012 reflect the Company’s estimated effective tax rate for the years ending May 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These rates were (30.3)% for the quarter ended November 30, 2012 and 40.6% for the quarter ended November 30, 2013.

Consolidated Net Income (Loss)
 
Consolidated net income increased $234,000 from a loss of $181,000 in the quarter ended November 30, 2012 to net income of $53,000 in the quarter ended November 30, 2013.  This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in revenue as a result of the additional recruiters and sales executives contributing additional revenue.  Although we are experiencing an increase in revenue under the Company’s plan for internal growth, we anticipate that our net income will continue to be affected, with only gradual improvement until such time as the additional recruiters and sales executives begin to generate a sufficient increase in revenue.

Revenue
 
Revenue consists primarily of revenue from computer programming consulting services.  Revenue for the six months ended November 30, 2013 increased $2,404,000 or 11.0% from the prior year period.  The average number of consultants on billing with customers increased from approximately 257 for the six months ended November 30, 2012 to 303 for the six months ended November 30, 2013.  The revenue increase was lower than expected from the increase in consultants on billing with customers due to reduced average billing rates for the consultants on billing with customers compared with the prior year period.  This resulted from a shift in the business mix as a higher percentage of new placements have been with customers where there is stronger competition due to managed vendor services programs.

Cost of sales for the six months ended November 30, 2013 increased $1,846,000 or 10.1% to $20,090,000 from $18,244,000 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 83.5% in the six months ended November 30, 2012 to 82.8% in the six months ended November 30, 2013.  The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to increased revenue from full time placement fees which do not have associated direct costs.

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 $42,000 or 1.1% from $3,977,000 in the six months ended November 30, 2012 to $4,019,000 in the six months ended November 30, 2013.  This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of sales personnel and expenses associated with hiring them.  Hiring new sales executives requires a significant investment to cover their costs while their non-compete agreements, which typically last a year, expire.  The Company expects selling, general and administrative expenses to continue to increase as more recruiters and sales executives are hired to stimulate growth.  Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenue, decreased from 18.2% in the six months ended November 30, 2012 to 16.6% in the six months ended November 30, 2013 as a result of the additional technical recruiters and sales executives hired in the prior fiscal year beginning to contribute additional revenue.

Other Income
 
Other income for the six months ended November 30, 2013 resulted primarily from interest and dividend income of $3,000, which decreased by $3,000 from the level realized in the six months ended November 30, 2012 due to lower interest rates earned on the Company’s certificates of deposit and money market accounts.

Income Taxes
 
The income tax provision (benefit) included in the Company’s results of operations for the six months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012 reflect the Company’s estimated effective tax rate for the years ending May 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These rates were (31.3)% for the six months ended November 30, 2012 and 38.1% for the six months ended November 30, 2013.

Consolidated Net Income (Loss)
 
Consolidated net income increased $346,000 from a loss of $255,000 in the six months ended November 30, 2012 to net income of $91,000 in the six months ended November 301, 2013.  This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in revenue as a result of the additional recruiters and sales executives contributing additional revenue.  Although we are experiencing an increase in revenue under the Company’s plan for internal growth, we anticipate that our net income will continue to be affected, with only gradual improvement until such time as the additional recruiters and sales executives begin to generate a sufficient increase in 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 November 30, 2013, the Company had working capital (total current assets in excess of total current liabilities) of $8,845,000 including cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit and marketable securities of $3,563,000 as compared to working capital of $8,717,000 including cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit and marketable securities of $3,890,000 at May 31, 2013.

For the six months ended November 30, 2013, net cash used in operating activities was $316,000 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $489,000 for the six months ended November 30, 2012, or a decrease in cash used in operating activities of $173,000.  The cash used in operating activities in the six months ended November 30, 2013 primarily resulted from a decrease in accounts and other payables and accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $565,000 which resulted primarily from a reduction in accrued payroll.  The cash used in operating activities in the six months ended November 30, 2012 primarily resulted from the consolidated net loss of $255,000, an increase of prepaid and recoverable income taxes of $129,000 and a decrease in accounts and other payables and accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $140,000.

Net cash provided by investing activities of $244,000 for the six months ended November 30, 2013 primarily resulted from not reinvesting a maturing certificate of deposit.  Net cash used in investing activities of $2,737,000 for the six months ended November 30, 2012 primarily resulted from new investments in US Treasury securities and certificates of deposit.

In the six months ended November 30, 2013, net cash used in financing activities resulted from a distribution to the noncontrolling interest of $6,000.  In the six months ended November 30, 2012, net cash used in financing activities resulted primarily from a cash dividend of $1.50 per share paid on November 30, 2012, which amounted to $2,970,000, distributions to the noncontrolling interest of $7,000 and the purchases of 3,600 shares of common stock for $16,571.

The Company’s capital resource commitments at November 30, 2013 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
The Company is not aware of any new accounting pronouncements that would have a material impact on its 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, 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-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 November 30, 2013.

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.
