NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
February 28, 2014
(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 nine months ended February 28, 2014 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 fiscal year ended May 31, 2013.

2.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable 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 February 28, 2014 and May 31, 2013:

    561,419       318,222  
    $ 2,658,199     $ 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 February 28, 2014 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):

Based upon the Company’s intent and ability to hold its certificates of deposit to maturity (which maturities range up to twelve 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 February 28, 2014 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.

6.             Fair Value of Financial Instruments
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.

Revenue
Revenue consists primarily of revenue from computer programming consulting services.  Revenue for the quarter ended February 28, 2014 increased $1,613,000 or 15.3% from the prior year quarter.  The average number of consultants on billing with customers increased from approximately 275 for the quarter ended February 28, 2013 to 308 for the quarter ended February 28, 2014.

Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the quarter ended February 28, 2014, increased $1,325,000 or 14.9% to $10,199,000 from $8,874,000 in the prior year quarter.  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 84.4% in the quarter ended February 28, 2013 to 84.1% in the quarter ended February 28, 2014.  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 $100,000 or 5.0% from $2,018,000 in the quarter ended February 28, 2013 to $2,118,000 in the quarter ended February 28, 2014.  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 19.2% in the quarter ended February 28, 2013 to 17.5% in the quarter ended February 28, 2014 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 February 28, 2014 resulted primarily from interest and dividend income of $1,000, which decreased by $5,000 from the level realized in the quarter ended February 28, 2013 due to lower interest rates earned on the Company’s certificates of deposit and money market accounts. There were also mark to market gains of approximately $1,000 on the Company’s equity securities for each of the quarters ended February 28, 2014 and 2013.

Income Taxes
The income tax benefit included in the Company’s results of operations for the quarters ended February 28, 2014 and 2013 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 quarter ended February 28, 2013 and (65.2)% for the quarter ended February 28, 2014. The tax rate for the third quarter ended February 28, 2014 differs significantly from the statutory rate as a result of a change in the full year estimate of net income relating to additional business development expenses.

Consolidated Net Loss
Consolidated net loss decreased $189,000 from a loss of $254,000 in the quarter ended February 28, 2013 to a loss of $65,000 in the quarter ended February 28, 2014.  This decrease was primarily attributable to the increase in revenue as a result of the additional recruiters and sales executives contributing to 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 nine months ended February 28, 2014 increased $4,017,000 or 12.4% from the prior year period.  The average number of consultants on billing with customers increased from approximately 263 for the nine months ended February 28, 2013 to 305 for the nine months ended February 28, 2014.  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
Cost of sales for the nine months ended February 28, 2014 increased $3,170,000 or 11.7% to $30,288,000 from $27,118,000 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 83.8% in the nine months ended February 28, 2013 to 83.2% in the nine months ended February 28, 2014.  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 $143,000 or 2.4% from $5,995,000 in the nine months ended February 28, 2013 to $6,138,000 in the nine months ended February 28, 2014.  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 18.5% in the nine months ended February 28, 2013 to 16.9% in the nine months ended February 28, 2014 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 nine months ended February 28, 2014 resulted primarily from interest and dividend income of $5,000, which decreased by $6,000 from the level realized in the nine months ended February 28, 2013 due to lower interest rates earned on the Company’s certificates of deposit and money market accounts.  Additionally, in the nine months ended February 28, 2013 there was a mark to market loss of approximately $4,000 on the Company’s equity securities.

Income Taxes
The income tax benefit included in the Company’s results of operations for the nine months ended February 28, 2014 and 2013 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 nine months ended February 28, 2013 and (165.0)% for the nine months ended February 28, 2014. The tax rate for the nine months ended February 28, 2014 differs significantly from the statutory rate as a result of a change in the full year estimate of net income relating to additional business development expenses.

Consolidated Net Income (Loss)
Consolidated net income (loss) improved $536,000 from a loss of $510,000 in the nine months ended February 28, 2013 to net income of $26,000 in the nine months ended February 28, 2014.  This improvement 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 February 28, 2014, the Company had working capital (total current assets in excess of total current liabilities) of $8,713,000 including cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit and marketable securities of $4,171,000 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 nine months ended February 28, 2014, net cash provided by operating activities was $339,000 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $438,000 for the nine months ended February 28, 2013.  The cash provided by operating activities in the nine months ended February 28, 2014 primarily resulted from a decrease in accounts receivable.  The cash used in operating activities in the nine months ended February 28, 2013 primarily resulted from the consolidated net loss of $510,000, an increase of prepaid and recoverable income taxes of $234,000 and a decrease in accounts and other payables and accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $377,000, offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $686,000.

Net cash provided by investing activities of $464,000 for the nine months ended February 28, 2014 primarily resulted from not reinvesting maturing certificates of deposit.  Net cash used in investing activities of $1,495,000 for the nine months ended February 28, 2013 primarily resulted from new investments in certificates of deposit.

In the nine months ended February 28, 2014, net cash used in financing activities resulted from distributions to the noncontrolling interest of $26,000. In the nine months ended February 28, 2013, 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 $46,000 and the purchases of 21,600 shares of common stock for $82,000.

The Company’s capital resource commitments at February 28, 2014 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 February 28, 2014.

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.
