PART I

 

Item 1. Business

 

General

 

Wayside Technology Group, Inc. (the “Company,” “us,” “we,” or “our”) is an information technology (“IT”) channel company. We resell software and hardware developed by others and provide technical services directly to customers in the United States and Canada. We also distribute software through resellers indirectly to customers worldwide. We offer an extensive line of products from leading publishers of software and tools for virtualization, networking, software development, database modeling, security, and other technically sophisticated domains.

 

Wayside Technology Group, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in 1982. Our Common Stock is listed on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “WSTG”. Our main web site address is www.waysidetechnology.com, and the other web sites maintained by our business include www.lifeboatdistribution.com, and www.techxtend.com.  Reference to these “uniform resource locators” or “URLs” is made as an inactive textual reference for informational purposes only. Information on our web sites should not be considered filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is not, and should not be deemed to be, a part of this report.

 

The Company operates through two segments, Lifeboat Distribution (“Lifeboat”) and the TechXtend (“TechXtend”) segment (formerly the “Programmer’s Paradise” segment). The Lifeboat segment distributes technical software through a worldwide network of corporate and value-added resellers, consultants, and systems integrators. The TechXtend segment sells technical software, hardware, and services for microcomputers, servers, and networks to individual programmers, corporations, government agencies, and educational institutions primarily in the United States and Canada. For each of our segments, revenues from unaffiliated customers, income and total assets, among other financial information, is presented in Note 10 in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Competition

 

The software market is highly competitive. Pricing is very aggressive in both software distribution and reselling.  The Company expects pricing pressure to continue. The Company faces competition from a wide variety of sources. In the Lifeboat segment, we compete against much larger broad-line distributors, as well as specialty distributors and, in some cases, the direct sales teams of the vendors we represent also sell directly to the end-customers.  In the TechXtend segment, we also compete against vendors who sell directly to customers, as well as software resellers, superstores, e-commerce vendors, and other direct marketers of software products. In both segments, some of our competitors are significantly larger and have substantially greater resources than the Company. Many of our competitors compete principally on the basis of price, product availability, customer service and technical support.

 

There can be no assurance that the Company can compete effectively against existing competitors or new competitors that may enter the market or that it can generate profit margins which represent a fair return to the Company. In addition, price is an important competitive factor in the personal computer software market and there can be no assurance that the Company will not be subject to increased price competition. An increase in the amount of competition faced by the Company, or its failure to compete effectively against its competitors, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Company competes to attract prospective buyers and in sourcing new products from software developers and publishers, as well as in marketing its current product line to its customers. The Company

 

Page 2



 

believes that its ability to offer software developers and IT professionals a wide selection of products at reasonable prices with prompt delivery and high customer service levels, along with its good relationships with vendors and suppliers, allows it to compete effectively in acquiring prospective buyers and marketing its current product line to its customers. The Company competes to gain distribution rights for new products primarily on the basis of its reputation and its relationships with software publishers.

 

The market for developer and infrastructure software products is characterized by rapid changes in technology, user requirements, and customer specifications. The manner in which software products are distributed and sold is changing, and new methods of distribution and sale may emerge or expand. Software developers and publishers have sold, and may intensify their efforts to sell, their products directly to end-users. The continuing evolution of the Internet as a platform in which to conduct e-commerce business transactions has both lowered the barriers for competition and broadened customer access to products and information, increasing competition and reducing prices. From time to time, certain software developers and publishers have instituted programs for the direct sale of large order quantities of software to certain major corporate accounts. These types of programs may continue to be developed and used by various developers and publishers. While Microsoft and other vendors currently sell new releases or upgrades directly to end users, they have not, however, attempted to completely bypass the reseller channel. There can be no assurances, that software developers and publishers will continue using resellers to the same extent they currently do. Future efforts by software developers and publishers to bypass third- party sales channels could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business operations and financial conditions.

 

In addition, resellers and publishers may attempt to increase the volume of software products distributed electronically through ESD (Electronic Software Distribution) technology, through subscription services, and through on-line shopping services. Any of these competitive programs, if successful, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. For a description of additional risks relating to competition in our industry, please refer to “Item 1.A. Risk Factors”: “We rely on our suppliers for product availability, marketing funds, purchasing incentives and competitive products to sell”, and “The IT products and services industry is intensely competitive and actions of competitors, including manufacturers of products we sell, can negatively affect our business”.

 

Products

 

The Company offers a wide variety of products from a broad range of publishers and manufacturers, including CA Technologies Inc., Quest Software, Inc., Intel Corporation, Vmware, TechSmith Corporation, Flexera Corp., Acronis, Solarwinds, Astaro, and Veeam Corporation.  On a continuous basis, we screen new products for inclusion in our catalogs and web sites based on their features, quality, price, profit margins and warranties, as well as on current sales trends. Since the Company predominantly sells software, sales of hardware and peripherals represented only 4%, 4% and 7%, of our overall revenue in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 

Marketing and Distribution

 

We market products through creative marketing communications, including our web sites, local and on-line seminars, print and electronic catalogs. We also use direct e-mail and printed material to introduce new products and upgrades, to cross-sell products to current customers, and to educate and inform existing and potential customers. We believe that our blend of electronic and traditional marketing and selling programs are important marketing vehicles for software publishers and manufacturers. These programs provide a cost-effective and service-oriented means to market and sell and fulfill software products and meet the needs of users.

 

The Company had three customers that accounted for more than 10% of total sales for 2011. For the year ended December 31, 2011, CDW Corporation, Insight and Software House International accounted for 14.0%, 11.0% and 10.5%, respectively, of consolidated net sales and, as of December 31, 2011, 12.4%, 6.8%, and 4.7%, respectively, of total net accounts receivable. For the year ended December 31, 2010, CDW Corporation accounted for 15.8% of consolidated net sales. For the year ended December 31, 2009,

 

Page 3



 

CDW Corporation and Software House International accounted for 10.5% and 10.7%, respectively, of consolidated net sales. Our top five customers accounted for 42%, 44%, and 36% of consolidated net sales in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company generally ships products within 48 hours of confirming a customer’s order. This allows for minimum backlog in the business.

 

Sales in Canada represented 7% of our consolidated revenues in 2011, as compared to 7% in 2010, and 8% in 2009. For geographic financial information, please refer to Note 10 in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Customer Support

 

We believe that providing a high level of customer service is necessary to compete effectively and is essential to continued sales and revenue growth. Our account representatives assist our customers with all aspects of purchasing decisions, process products ordered and respond to customer inquiries on order status, product pricing and availability. The account representatives are trained to answer all basic questions about the features and functionality of products. To deal with technical issues, we maintain an in-house technical support staff.

 

Purchasing and Fulfillment

 

The Company’s success is dependent, in part, upon the ability of its suppliers to develop and market products that meet the changing requirements of the marketplace. The Company believes it enjoys good relationships with its vendors. The Company and its principal vendors have cooperated frequently in product introductions and in other marketing programs. As is customary in the industry, the Company has no long-term supply contracts with any of its suppliers. Substantially all of the Company’s contracts with its vendors are terminable upon 30 days’ notice or less. Moreover, the manner in which software products are distributed and sold is changing, and new methods of distribution and sale may emerge or expand. Software publishers have sold, and may intensify their efforts to sell, their products directly to end-users. The Company’s business and results of operations may be adversely affected if the terms and conditions of the Company’s authorizations with its vendors were to be significantly modified or if certain products become unavailable to the Company.

 

We believe that effective purchasing from a diverse vendor base is a key element of our business strategy. For the year ended December 31, 2011, Veeam software and Quest were the only individual vendors from whom our purchases exceeded 10% of our total purchases. For the year ended December 31, 2011, Veeam and Quest accounted for 12.6% and 11.2%, respectively, of our total purchases.  For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, Quest was the only individual vendor from whom our purchases exceeded 10% of our total purchases, representing 11.2% and 10.2%, respectively, of our total purchases. The loss of a key vendor or group of vendors could disrupt our product availability and otherwise have an adverse effect on the Company.

 

In 2011, the Company purchased approximately 90% of its products directly from manufacturers and publishers and the balance from multiple distributors, as compared to 90% in 2010, and 85% in 2009. Most suppliers or distributors will “drop ship” products directly to the customers, which reduces physical handling by the Company. Inventory management techniques, such as “drop shipping” allow the Company to offer a greater range of products without increased inventory requirements or associated risk.

 

Inventory levels may vary from period to period, due in part to increases or decreases in sales levels, the Company’s practice of making large-volume purchases when it deems the terms of such purchases to be attractive, and the addition of new suppliers and products. Moreover, the Company’s order fulfillment and inventory control systems allow the Company to order certain products just in time for next day shipping. The Company promotes the use of electronic data interchange (“EDI”) with its suppliers, which helps reduce overhead and the use of paper in the ordering process. Although brand names and

 

Page 4



 

individual products are important to our business, we believe that competitive sources of supply are available for substantially all of the product categories we carry.

 

The Company operates distribution facilities in Shrewsbury, New Jersey and Mississauga, Canada.

 

Management Information Systems

 

The Company operates management information systems on Windows 2003 and Windows 2008 platforms that allow for centralized management of key functions, including inventory, accounts receivable, purchasing, sales and distribution. We are dependent on the accuracy and proper utilization of our information technology systems, including our telephone, web sites, e-mail and fax systems.

 

The management information systems allow the Company to monitor sales trends, provide real -time product availability and order status information, track direct marketing campaign performance and to make marketing event driven purchasing decisions. In addition to the main system, the Company has systems of networked personal computers, as well as microcomputer-based desktop publishing systems, which facilitate data sharing and provide an automated office environment.

 

The Company recognizes the need to continually upgrade its management information systems to most effectively manage its operations and customer database. In that regard, the Company anticipates that it will, from time to time, require software and hardware upgrades for its present management information systems.

 

Trademarks

 

The Company conducts its business under the various trademarks and service marks of Programmer’s Paradise, the “Island Man” cartoon character logo, TechXtend, and Lifeboat. The Company protects these trademarks and service marks and believes that they have significant value to us and are important factors in our marketing programs.

 

Employees

 

As of December 31, 2011, Wayside Technology Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries had 109 full-time employees and 3 part-time employees. The Company is not a party to any collective bargaining agreements with its employees, has experienced no work stoppages and considers its relationships with its employees to be satisfactory.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

Investors should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below as well as the other information contained in this report. Any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or those currently viewed by us to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

Changes in the information technology industry and/or economic environment may reduce demand for the products and services we sell. Our results of operations are influenced by a variety of factors, including the condition of the IT industry, general economic conditions, shifts in demand for, or availability of, computer products and software and IT services and industry introductions of new products, upgrades or methods of distribution. The information technology products industry is characterized by abrupt changes in technology, rapid changes in customer preferences, short product life cycles and evolving industry standards. Net sales can be dependent on demand for specific product categories, and any change in demand for or supply of such products could have a material adverse effect on our net sales, and/or cause us to record write-downs of obsolete inventory, if we fail to react in a timely manner to such changes.

 

We rely on our suppliers for product availability, marketing funds, purchasing incentives and competitive products to sell. We acquire products for resale both directly from manufacturers and indirectly from distributors. The loss of a supplier could cause a disruption in the availability of products. Additionally, there is no assurance that as manufacturers continue to or increasingly sell directly to end users and through the distribution channel, that they will not limit or curtail the availability of their products to resellers like us. For example, resellers and publishers may attempt to increase the volume of software products distributed electronically through ESD (Electronic Software Distribution) technology, through subscription services, and through on-line shopping services, and correspondingly, decrease the volume of products sold through us.  Our inability to obtain a sufficient quantity of products, or an allocation of products from a manufacturer in a way that favors one of our competitors, or competing distribution channels, relative to us, could cause us to be unable to fill clients’ orders in a timely manner, or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We also rely on our suppliers to provide funds for us to market their products, including through our catalogs and on-line marketing efforts, and to provide purchasing incentives to us.  If any of the suppliers that have historically provided these benefits to us decides to reduce such benefits, our expenses would increase, adversely affecting our results of operations.

 

The Lingering Effects of the Recent Economic Downturn May Reduce our Revenues and Profits.  The lingering ongoing effects of the general economic downturn continues to cause some of our current and potential customers to delay or reduce technology purchases, resulting in longer sales cycles, slower

 

Page 7



 

adoption of new technologies and increased price competition. We may, therefore, experience a greater decline in demand for the products we sell, resulting in increased competition and pressure to reduce the cost of operations. Any benefits from cost reductions may take longer to realize and may not fully mitigate the impact of the reduced demand. In addition, weak financial and credit markets heighten the risk of customer bankruptcies and create a corresponding delay in collecting receivables from those customers and may also affect our vendors’ ability to supply products, which could disrupt our operations.  The realization of any or all of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

The IT products and services industry is intensely competitive and actions of competitors, including manufacturers of products we sell, can negatively affect our business. Competition has been based primarily on price, product availability, speed of delivery, credit availability and quality and breadth of product lines and, increasingly, also is based on the ability to tailor specific solutions to client needs. We compete with manufacturers, including manufacturers of products we sell, as well as a large number and wide variety of marketers and resellers of IT products and services. In addition, manufacturers are increasing the volume of software products they distribute electronically directly to end-users and in the future will likely pay lower referral fees for sales of certain software licensing agreements sold by us.  Generally, pricing is very aggressive in the industry, and we expect pricing pressures to continue. There can be no assurance that we will be able to negotiate prices as favorable as those negotiated by our competitors or that we will be able to offset the effects of price reductions with an increase in the number of clients, higher net sales, cost reductions, or greater sales of services, which service sales typically at higher gross margins, or otherwise. Price reductions by our competitors that we either cannot or choose not to match could result in an erosion of our market share and/or reduced sales or, to the extent we match such reductions, could result in reduced operating margins, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Disruptions in our information technology and voice and data networks could affect our ability to service our clients and cause us to incur additional expenses. We believe that our success to date has been, and future results of operations likely will be, dependent in large part upon our ability to provide prompt and efficient service to clients. Our ability to provide such services is dependent largely on the accuracy, quality and utilization of the information generated by our IT systems, which affect our ability to manage our sales, client service, distribution, inventories and accounting systems and the reliability of our voice and data networks.

 

We depend on certain key personnel. Our future success will be largely dependent on the efforts of key management personnel. We also believe that our future success will be largely dependent on our continued ability to attract and retain highly qualified management, sales, service and technical personnel. We cannot assure you that we will be able to attract and retain such personnel. Further, we make a significant investment in the training of our sales account executives. Our inability to retain such personnel or to train them either rapidly enough to meet our expanding needs or in an effective manner for quickly changing market conditions could cause a decrease in the overall quality and efficiency of our sales staff, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Risks Related to Our Common Stock. The exercise of outstanding options or any other issuance of shares by us may dilute your ownership of our Common Stock. Our Common Stock is thinly traded. As a result of the thin trading market for our stock, its market price may fluctuate significantly more than the stock market as a whole or of the stock prices of similar companies.  Without a larger float, our common stock will be less liquid than the stock of companies with broader public ownership, and, as a result, the trading prices for our Common Stock may be more volatile. Among other things, trading of a relatively

 

Page 8



 

small volume of our Common Stock may have a greater impact on the trading price of our stock than would be the case if our public float were larger.

 

Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Global Market, and we therefore are subject to continued listing requirements, include requirements with respect to the market value and number of publicly-held shares, number of stockholders, minimum bid price, number of market makers and either (i) stockholders’ equity or (ii) total market value of stock, total assets and total revenues. If we fail to satisfy one or more of the requirements, we may be delisted from The Nasdaq Global Market. If we are delisted from The Nasdaq Global Market, we do not qualify for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, and if we are not able to list our common stock on another exchange, our common stock could be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or on the “pink sheets”. As a result, we could face significant adverse consequences including, among others, a limited availability of market quotations for our securities and a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

Not applicable.

 

Item 2. Properties

 

The Company leases 18,000 square feet of space in Shrewsbury, New Jersey for its corporate headquarters and warehouse under a lease expiring in December 2012.  Total annual rent expense for these premises is approximately $225,000. Additionally, the Company leases approximately 3,700 square feet of office and warehouse space in Mississauga, Canada, under a lease which expires November 30, 2013. Total annual rent expense for these premises is approximately $30,000.  The Company also leases office space in Almere, Netherlands under a lease which expires October 31, 2012, at an annual rent of approximately $12,000. We believe that each of the properties is in good operating condition and such properties are adequate for the operation of the Company’s business as currently conducted.

 

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

 

There are no material legal proceedings to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or of which any of their property is the subject.

During 2011, the Company granted a total of 15,000 shares of restricted stock to employees. These shares vest over 60 months. A total of 8,375 shares of restricted common stock were forfeited as a result of employees terminating employment with the Company.

 

During 2010, the Company granted a total of 150,500 shares of restricted stock to officers, and employees. These shares vest over 60 months. A total of 5,875 shares of restricted Common Stock were forfeited as a result of employees terminating employment with the Company.

 

The share issuances in all of the above transactions were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).  The issuances were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D thereunder, as they were transactions by the issuer that did not involve public offerings of securities and/or involved issuances to accredited investors.

 

As of February 10, 2012 there were approximately 32 record holders of our Common Stock.

Item 7.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto.  This discussion and analysis contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially

 

Page 12



 

 from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain risks and uncertainties, including those set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report.

 

Page 13



 

Overview

 

As of January 1, 2006 we organized our Company into two reportable operating segments — the “TechXtend” segment (formerly the “Programmer’s Paradise” segment),which sells technical software, hardware and services directly to end-users (such as individual programmers, corporations, government agencies, and educational institutions) and the “Lifeboat” segment, which distributes technical software to corporate resellers, VARs, consultants and systems integrators.

 

We offer a wide variety of technical and general business application software from a broad range of publishers and manufacturers. We market these products through our catalogs, direct mail programs, advertisements in trade magazines, as well as through Internet and e-mail promotions.

 

Forward-looking Statements

 

This report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Statements in this report regarding future events or conditions, including but not limited to statements regarding industry prospects and the Company’s expected financial position, business and financing plans, are forward-looking statements.

 

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. We strongly urge current and prospective investors to carefully consider the cautionary statements and risks contained in this report, particularly the risks described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” above.  Such risks include, but are not limited to, the continued acceptance of the Company’s distribution channel by vendors and customers, the timely availability and acceptance of new products, contribution of key vendor relationships and support programs, as well as factors that affect the software industry generally.

 

The Company operates in a rapidly changing business, and new risk factors emerge from time to time. Management cannot predict every risk factor, nor can it assess the impact, if any, of all such risk factors on the Company’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements.

 

Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a prediction of actual results and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their dates. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

The statements concerning future sales, future gross profit margin and future selling and administrative expenses are forward looking statements involving certain risks and uncertainties such as availability of products, product mix, pricing pressures, market conditions and other factors, which could result in a fluctuation of sales below recent experience.

 

Stock Volatility. The technology sector of the United States stock markets has experienced substantial volatility in recent periods. Numerous conditions which impact the technology sector or the stock market in general or the Company in particular, whether or not such events relate to or reflect upon the Company’s operating performance, could adversely affect the market price of the Company’s Common Stock. Furthermore, fluctuations in the Company’s operating results, announcements regarding litigation, the loss of a significant vendor, increased competition, reduced vendor incentives and trade credit, higher

 

Page 14



 

postage and operating expenses, and other developments, could have a significant impact on the market price of the Company’s Common Stock.

 

Financial Overview

 

We reported a net income of $5.5 million for the year 2011 as compared to a net income of $4.4 million in 2010.  The increase resulted primarily from the increase in revenue, offset in part by competitive pricing pressure which lowered gross profit margin percentage and increased selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses. Our income before income taxes increased by $1.8 million to $9.0 million compared to $7.2 million in 2010.

 

Income from operations amounted to $8.6 million in 2011 as compared to $6.8 million in 2010, representing an increase of $1.8 million as compared to 2010. Gross profit increased by $3.2 million in 2011 as compared to 2010, and SG&A expenses increased by $1.4 in million in 2011 as compared to 2010.

 

The Company’s sales, gross profit and results of operations have fluctuated and are expected to continue to fluctuate on a quarterly basis as a result of a number of factors, including but not limited to: the condition of the software industry in general; shifts in demand for software products; pricing; industry shipments of new software products or upgrades; the timing of new merchandise and catalog offerings; fluctuations in response rates; fluctuations in merchandise returns; adverse weather conditions that affect response, distribution or shipping; shifts in the timing of holidays; and changes in the Company’s product offerings. The Company’s operating expenditures are based on sales forecasts. If revenues do not meet expectations in any given quarter, operating results may be materially adversely affected.

Net Sales

 

Net sales for 2011 increased 21%, or $43.4 million to $250.1 million compared to $206.7 million in 2010. Total sales for our Lifeboat segment in 2011 were $192.7 million compared to $149.1 million in 2009, representing a 29% increase. Total sales for the TechXtend segment in 2011 amounted to $57.4 million, compared to $57.6 million in 2010.

 

Page 15



 

The increase in net sales for our Lifeboat segment was mainly a result of our continued focus on the expanding virtual infrastructure-centric business, the addition of several key product lines, and the strengthening of our account penetration.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross Profit for 2011 was $23.2 million compared to $20.0 million in 2010, a 16% increase. Total gross profit for our Lifeboat segment was $16.8 million compared to $13.7 million in 2010, representing a 23% increase.  Total gross profit for our TechXtend segment was $6.4 million compared to $6.3 million in 2010, representing a 2% increase. Vendor rebates and discounts for 2011 amounted to $2.9 million compared to $2.7 million for 2010. Vendor rebates are dependent on reaching certain targets set by our vendors.

 

Gross profit margin, i.e. gross profit as a percentage of net sales, for 2011 was 9.3% compared to 9.7% in 2010. Gross profit margin for our Lifeboat segment in 2011 was 8.7% compared to 9.2% in 2010.  Gross profit margin for our TechXtend segment in 2010 was 11.2% compared to 11.0% in 2010.

 

The increase in gross profit dollars and the decrease in gross profit margin was primarily caused by the aggressive sales growth within our Lifeboat segment, offset in part, by continued pressure on discounts and rebates earned and competitive pricing pressure in both segments, and, in part, by our having won several large bids based on aggressive pricing, which we plan to continue to do.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Total SG&A expenses for 2011 were $14.6 million compared to $13.2 million in 2010. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses for 2011 and 2010 were 5.9% and 6.4%, respectively. This dollar increase was primarily the result of higher employee and employee-related costs (salaries, commissions, bonus accruals, benefits and travel and entertainment) of $1.1 million and increased credit card processing fees of $0.2 million due to increased sales volume.

 

Direct selling costs (a component of SG&A) for 2011 were $7.8 million compared to $6.9 million in 2010. Total direct selling costs for our TechXtend segment for 2011 were $3.0 million compared to $2.9 million in the same period in 2010. Total direct selling costs for our Lifeboat segment for 2011 were $4.7 million compared to $3.9 million in the same period in 2010, mainly due to increased employee related costs to manage and reward our growth in this segment.

 

The Company expects that its SG&A expenses, as a percentage of net sales, may vary depending on changes in sales volume, as well as the levels of continuing investments in key growth initiatives. We plan to continue to expand our investment in information technology and marketing, while monitoring our sales and remaining general and administrative expenses closely.

 

Income Taxes

 

For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $3.4 million which consists of a provision of $2.4 million for U.S. federal income taxes, as well as a $0.5 million provision for state and local taxes, a $0.3 million provision for foreign taxes, and a deferred tax expense of $0.3 million.

 

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had a U.S. deferred tax asset of approximately $0.6 million.

 

Page 16



 

The effective tax rate for year ended December 31, 2010 was impacted by a benefit of $78 thousand related to the reversal of the Company’s liability related to uncertain tax positions.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $2.8 million which consists of a provision of $1.8 million for U.S. federal income taxes, as well as a $0.5 million provision for state and local taxes, a $0.2 million provision for Canadian taxes, and a deferred tax expense of $0.3 million.

 

As of December 31, 2010, the Company had a U.S. deferred tax asset of approximately $0.9 million.

 

Year ended December 31, 2010 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2009

 

Net Sales

 

Net sales for 2010 increased 41% or $60.3 million to $206.7 million compared to $146.4 million in 2009. Total sales for our Lifeboat segment in 2010 were $149.2 million compared to $98.1 million in 2009, representing a 52% increase. Total sales for the TechXtend segment in 2010 amounted to $57.6 million, compared to $48.3 million in 2009, representing a 19% increase.

 

The increase in net sales for our Lifeboat segment was mainly a result of our continued focus on the expanding virtual infrastructure-centric business, the addition of several key product lines, and the strengthening of our account penetration.

 

In the TechXtend segment, sales for 2010 increased by $9.3 million, compared with 2009. This increase was primarily due to the fact that we had larger transactions in 2010 compared to 2009.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross Profit for 2010 was $20.0 million compared to $15.6 million in 2009, a 28% increase. Total gross profit for our TechXtend segment was $6.3 million compared to $5.7 million in 2009, representing a 12% increase. Total gross profit for our Lifeboat segment was $13.7 million compared to $9.9 million in 2009, representing a 38% increase.

 

Gross profit margin, as a percentage of net sales, for 2010 was 9.7% compared to 10.7% in 2009. Gross profit margin percentage for our TechXtend segment in 2010 was 11.0% compared to 11.7% in 2009. Gross profit margin percentage for our Lifeboat segment in 2010 was 9.2% compared to 10.1% in 2009.

 

The increase in gross profit dollars and the decrease in gross profit margin was primarily caused by the aggressive sales growth within our Lifeboat segment, offset in part, by competitive pricing pressure in both segments, and, in part, by our having won several large bids based on aggressive pricing, which we plan to continue to do.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Total SG&A expenses for 2010 were $13.2 million compared to $11.3 million in 2009. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses for 2010 and 2009 were 6.4% and 7.7%, respectively. This dollar increase was primarily the result of higher employee and employee-related costs (salaries, commissions, bonus accruals and benefits and travel and entertainment) of $1.8 million.

 

Direct selling costs (a component of SG&A) for 2010 were $6.9 million compared to $5.5 million in 2009. Total direct selling costs for our TechXtend segment for 2010 were $2.9 million compared to $2.7 million in the same period in 2009. Total direct selling costs for our Lifeboat segment for 2010 were $3.9

million compared to $2.9 million in the same period in 2009, mainly due to increased employee related costs to manage and reward our growth in this segment.

 

The Company expects that its SG&A expenses, as a percentage of net sales, may vary depending on changes in sales volume, as well as the levels of continuing investments in key growth initiatives. We plan to continue to expand our investment in information technology and marketing, while monitoring our sales and remaining general and administrative expenses closely.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, “FASB” issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income”, an amendment to FASB ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”. The update gives companies the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments in the update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12 “Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05.” This update stated that the specific requirement to present items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income alongside their respective components of net income and other comprehensive income will be deferred. All other requirements of ASU 2011-05 will be required to be adopted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively for all prior periods presented. Early adoption is permitted because compliance with the amendments is already permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of these provisions to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1.8 million to $9.2 million at December 31, 2011 from $11.0 million at December 31, 2010.  Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $3.7 million, net cash used in investing activities amounted to $1.1 million, net cash used in financing activities amounted to $4.3 million and the effect of foreign exchange on cash was $0.1 million.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities in 2011 was $3.7 million. In 2011, cash was mainly provided by $7.4 million from net income net of non-cash charges, and a $4.1 million increase in accounts payable, offset in part by a $6.9 million increase in accounts receivable, an increase in current assets of $0.7 million, and an increase in inventory of $0.1 million. The increase in accounts receivable relates primarily to our increased revenue in December of 2011, compared to the comparable period in 2010. The increase in accounts payable is primarily due to our increased net sales in December 2011 as compared to 2010 and our normal cycle of payments.

 

In 2011, cash used in investing activities was $1.1 million. This resulted primarily from net purchases of $0.9 million in marketable securities. These securities are highly rated and highly liquid. These securities are classified as available-for-sale securities in accordance with ASC Topic 320 “Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, and as a result, unrealized gains and losses are reported as part of accumulated other comprehensive income. Cash also was used in investing activities in the amount of $0.2 million for the purchase of equipment and leasehold improvements.

 

Net cash used in financing activities in 2011 of $4.3 million consisted of $3.0 million of dividend payments on our Common Stock and $1.5 million for the purchases of shares of our Common Stock offset by the tax benefit from share based compensation of $0.2 million.

 

In 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the purchase of 500,000 shares of our Common Stock. In 2002, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the purchase of 1,490,000 shares of our Common Stock. In October 1999, the Company was authorized by the Board of Directors to buy back 521,013 shares of our Common Stock in both open market and private transactions, as conditions warrant. A total of 2,112,756 shares of the Company’s stock have been bought back to date leaving a balance of 398,257 shares of Common Stock that the Company is authorized to buy back in the future.

 

The repurchase program is expected to remain in effect for 2012. We intend to hold the repurchased shares in treasury for general corporate purposes, including issuances under various stock plans. As of December 31, 2011, we held 604,622 shares of our Common Stock in treasury at an average cost of $8.25 per share.  As of December 31, 2010, we held 514,259 shares of our Common Stock in treasury at an average cost of $6.94 per share.

 

The Company’s current and anticipated use of its cash and cash equivalents is, and will continue to be, to fund working capital, operational expenditures, the stock repurchase program and dividends, if any, declared by the board of directors. Our business plan furthermore contemplates to continue to use our cash to pay vendors promptly in order to obtain more favorable conditions.

 

The Company believes that the cash flows from operations and funds held in cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund the Company’s working capital and cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.  We currently do not have any credit facility and, in the foreseeable future, we do not plan to enter into an agreement providing for a line of credit.

(1) Operating leases relate primarily to the lease of the space used for our operations in Shrewsbury, New Jersey, Mississauga, Canada and Almere, Netherlands. The commitments for operating leases include the minimum rent payments and a proportionate share of operating expenses and property taxes.

 

The Company is not committed by lines of credit or standby letters of credit, and has no standby repurchase obligations or other commercial commitments.

 

Foreign Exchange

 

The Company’s Canadian business is subject to changes in demand or pricing resulting from fluctuations in currency exchange rates or other factors. We are subject to fluctuations in the Canadian Dollar-to-U.S. Dollar exchange rate.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of December 31, 2011, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303 (a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of software and hardware for microcomputers, servers and networks upon shipment or upon electronic delivery of the product. The Company expenses the advertising costs associated with producing its catalogs. The costs of these catalogs are expensed in the same month the catalogs are mailed.

 

On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to product returns, bad debts, inventories, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, stock-based compensation, contingencies and litigation.

 

The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making

 

Page 20



 

judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

The Company believes the following critical accounting policies used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements affect its more significant judgments and estimates.

 

The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

 

The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-offs may be required.

 

The Company has considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. In the event the Company were to determine that it would not be able to realize all or part of its net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to income in the period such determination was made.

 

Under the fair value recognition provision, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. We make certain assumptions in order to value and expense our various share-based payment awards. In connection with valuing stock options, we use the Black-Scholes model, which requires us to estimate certain subjective assumptions. The key assumptions we make are: the expected volatility of our stock; the expected term of the award; and the expected forfeiture rate. In connection with our restricted stock programs we make assumptions principally related to the forfeiture rate. We review our valuation assumptions periodically and, as a result, we may change our valuation assumptions used to value stock based awards granted in future periods. Such changes may lead to a significant change in the expense we recognize in connection with share-based payments.

 

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

In addition to its activities in the United States, 7.5% of the Company’s 2011 sales were generated in Canada. We are subject to general risks attendant to the conduct of business in Canada, including economic uncertainties and foreign government regulations. In addition, the Company’s Canadian business is subject to changes in demand or pricing resulting from fluctuations in currency exchange rates or other factors.

 

The Company’s $5.4 million investments in marketable securities at December 31, 2011 are invested in insured certificates of deposit.

Item 9A. Controls and procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures”, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report.  This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Company’s President, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer (principal financial officer). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of the end of the period covered by this report, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act.  Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, and effected by the Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records in reasonable detail that accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and disposition of assets; providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of the Company, are made in accordance of with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of Company assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected.  In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that, owing to changes in conditions, controls may become inadequate, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2011. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Wayside Technology Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Wayside Technology Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Wayside Technology Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements referred to above, we also audited the consolidated financial statement schedule, Schedule II — Valuation and Qualifying Accounts, for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2011. In our opinion, this financial schedule, when considered in relation to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information stated therein.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollars in tables in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

 

1.  Description of Business

 

Wayside Technology Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries, the “Company,” markets software to software development and information technology professionals in the United States and Canada. It was formerly known as Programmer’s Paradise, Inc. and changed its name to Wayside Technology Group, Inc. in August 2006. The Company operates through two segments the “TechXtend” segment (formerly the Programmer’s Paradise” segment), which sells technical software, hardware and services directly to end-users (such as individual programmers, corporations, government agencies, and educational institutions) and the “Lifeboat” segment, which distributes technical software to corporate resellers, value added resellers (VARs), consultants and systems integrators.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation and Operations

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make extensive use of certain estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The significant areas of estimation include but are not limited to accounting for allowance for uncollectible accounts, sales returns, inventory valuation and obsolescence, income taxes, depreciation, contingencies, stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Net Income Per Common Share

 

The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for potentially dilutive securities.

Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all liquid short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable principally represents amounts collectible from our customers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers but generally does not require collateral to support any outstanding obligation. Allowances for potential uncollectible amounts are estimated and deducted from total accounts receivable.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable

 

We provide allowances for doubtful accounts related to accounts receivable for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We take into consideration the overall quality and aging of the receivable portfolio along with specifically identified customer risks. If actual customer payment performance were to deteriorate to an extent not expected, additional allowances may be required.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

Assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries have been translated at current exchange rates, and related revenues and expenses have been translated at average rates of exchange in effect during the year.  Cumulative translation adjustments have been classified within accumulated other comprehensive income, which is a separate component of stockholders’ equity in accordance ASC Topic No. 220, “Comprehensive Income”.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations in credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. At December 31, 2011, the Company’s $5.4 million of marketable securities are in insured certificates of deposit.

 

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

 

Marketable Securities

 

The Company accounts for marketable securities pursuant to the ASC Topic No. 320, “Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” Under this statement, the Company’s securities with a readily determinable fair value have been classified as available- for -sale and are carried at fair value with an offsetting adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income in Stockholders’ Equity.

 

Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated fair value as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, because of the relative short maturity of these instruments.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory, consisting primarily of finished products held for resale, is stated at the lower of cost (weighted average) or market.

 

Equipment and Leasehold Improvements

 

Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Equipment depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over three to five years.  Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the related lease terms, whichever is shorter.

 

Accounts receivable-long-term

 

Accounts receivable—long-term result from product sales with extended payment terms that are discounted to their present values at the prevailing market rates. In subsequent periods, the accounts receivable are increased to the amounts due and payable by the customers through the accretion of interest income on the unpaid accounts receivable due in future years. The amounts under these long-term accounts receivable due within one year are reclassified to the current portion of accounts receivable.

Comprehensive Income

 

Comprehensive income consists of net income for the period, the impact of unrealized foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on investments.  The foreign currency translation adjustments are not currently adjusted for income taxes as they relate to permanent investments in international subsidiaries.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company records revenues from sales transactions when title to products sold passes to the customer. Usual sales terms are FOB shipping point, at which time title and risk of loss has passed to the customer. Revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 985-605 “ Software Revenue Recognition” and ASC Topic 605-10-S99, and ASC Topic 605-45, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent”. The majority of the Company’s revenues relate to physical products and is recognized on a gross basis with the selling price to the customer recorded as net sales with the acquisition cost of the product to the Company recorded as cost of sales. At the time of sale, the Company also records an estimate for sales returns based on historical experience. Certain software maintenance products, third party services and extended warranties sold by the Company (for which the Company is not the primary obligor) are recognized on a net basis. Accordingly, such revenues are recognized in net sales either at the time of sale or over the contract period, based on the nature of the contract, at the net amount retained by the Company, with no cost of goods sold.

 

Vendor rebates and price protection are recorded when earned as a reduction to cost of sales or merchandise inventory, as applicable. Cooperative reimbursements from vendors, which are earned and available, are recorded in the period the related advertising expenditure is incurred. Cooperative reimbursements are recorded as net sales in accordance with ASC Topic 605-50 “Accounting by a Customer (including reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor.”

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company has stockholder-approved stock incentive plans for employees and directors. Stock- based compensation is recognized based on the grant date fair value and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. This method also requires a valuation allowance against the net deferred tax asset if, based on the weighted available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, “FASB” issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income”, an amendment to FASB ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”. The update gives companies the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments in the update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12 “Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05.” This update stated that the specific requirement to present items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income alongside their respective components of net income and other comprehensive income will be deferred. All other requirements of ASU 2011-05 will be required to be adopted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively for all prior periods presented. Early adoption is permitted because compliance with the amendments is already permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of these provisions to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

4.  Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company accounts for the fair value measurements in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure”, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company uses the following methods for determining fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820. For assets and liabilities that are measured using quoted prices in active markets for the identical asset or liability, the total fair value is the published market price per unit multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of transaction costs (Level 1). Assets and liabilities that are measured using significant other observable inputs are valued by reference to similar assets or liabilities, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data (Level 2). For all remaining assets and liabilities for which there are no significant observable inputs, fair value is derived using an assessment of various discount rates, default risk, credit quality and the overall capital market liquidity (Level 3).

 

The following table summarizes the basis used to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated balance sheet:

The Company receives a tax deduction from the gains realized by employees on the exercise of certain non-qualified stock options for which the tax effect of the difference between the book and tax deduction is recognized as a component of stockholders’ equity.

 

The Company accounts for uncertainties in accordance with FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. This standard clarified the accounting for uncertainties in income taxes. The standard prescribes criteria for recognition and measurement of tax positions. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, and disclosures related to income taxes associated with uncertain tax positions.

 

The Company has analyzed filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. The Company has identified its federal consolidated tax return and its state tax return in New Jersey and its Canadian tax return as major tax jurisdictions. The only periods subject to examination for the Company’s federal return are the 2009, 2010 and 2011 tax years. The audit of the tax years 2006 and 2007 has been completed, with no adjustments proposed by the Internal Revenue Service “IRS”.  The current periods subject to examination for the Company’s state returns in New Jersey are years 2009, 2010 and 2011. The current periods subject to examination for the Company’s Canadian tax returns are the years 2009 through 2011. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense when assessed. No liability was recorded for interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

 

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

The most recent IRS examination was of the Company’s 2006-2007 tax returns which were completed by the IRS as of March 1, 2010, and management believes that all uncertain tax positions were resolved at that time.

 

For financial reporting purposes, income before income taxes includes the following components:

7.  Stockholders’ Equity and Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company’s 1986 Employee Stock Option Plan (“1986 Plan”), as amended on June 15, 1994, provides for the grant of options to purchase up to 698,133 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to employees, officers and directors of the Company.  The terms of the options are for a maximum of ten years from date of grant and generally are exercisable at an exercise price equal to but not less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date that the option is granted. The options generally vest in equal annual installments over five years. There are no additional options available for grant under the Company’s 1986 Plan.

 

On April 21, 1995, the Board of Directors adopted the Company’s 1995 Non-Employee Director Plan (“1995 Director Plan”).  The 1995 Director Plan, as amended on May 7, 1998, provides for the grant of options to purchase up to 187,500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to persons who are members of the Company’s Board of Directors and not employees or officers of the Company.

 

The 1995 Director Plan requires that options granted thereunder will expire ten years from the date of grant.  Each option granted under the 1995 Director Plan becomes exercisable over a five year period, and vests in an installment of 20% of the total option grant upon the expiration of one year from the date of the option grant, and thereafter vests in equal quarterly installments of 5%.

 

In February 2002, the Board of Directors approved a plan permitting all option holders under the 1986 Plan and the 1995 Plan to surrender all or any portion of their options on or before March 1, 2002. By March 1, 2002, a total of 7,875 options to purchase the Company’s Common Stock under the 1986 option plan and 303,550 options to purchase the Company’s Common Stock under the 1995 Plan were surrendered, of which 305,175 were surrendered by the Company’s executive officers. All of the options surrendered were exercisable in excess of the market price of the underlying Common Stock as of the dates of surrender.

 

At the annual stockholder’s meeting held on June 14, 2006, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2006 Stock-Based Compensation Plan (the “2006 Plan”). The 2006 Plan authorizes the grant of Stock Options, Stock Units, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Deferred Stock, Stock Bonuses, and other equity-based awards. The number of shares of Common Stock initially available under the 2006 Plan is 800,000.  As of December 31, 2011, the number of shares of common stock available for future award grants to employees and directors under this plan is 122,250.

 

In August of 2006, the Company granted a total of 315,000 shares of restricted common stock to officers, directors and employees. Included in this grant were 200,000 restricted shares granted to the Company’s CEO in accordance with his employment agreement. These 200,000 restricted shares vest over 120 months. The remaining shares granted vest over 60 months.

 

During 2007, the Company granted a total of 30,000 shares of restricted stock to officers, directors and employees. These shares vest over 60 months. A total of 12,500 shares of restricted common stock were forfeited as a result of employees and officers terminating employment with the Company.

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires that public companies report profits and losses and certain other information on their “reportable operating segments” in their annual and interim financial statements. The internal organization used by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to assess performance and allocate resources determines the basis for reportable operating segments. The Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer.

 

The Company is organized into two reportable operating segments — the “TechXtend” segment (formerly the Programmer’s Paradise” segment), which sells technical software, hardware and services directly to end-users (such as individual programmers, corporations, government agencies, and educational institutions) and the “Lifeboat” segment, which distributes technical software to corporate resellers, value added resellers (VARs), consultants and systems integrators.

As permitted by ASC Topic 280, the Company has utilized the aggregation criteria in combining its operations in Canada with the domestic segments as they provide the same products and services to similar clients and are considered together when the CODM decides how to allocate resources.

 

Segment income is based on segment revenue less the respective segment’s cost of revenues as well as segment direct costs (including such items as payroll costs and payroll related costs, such as profit sharing, incentive awards and insurance) and excluding general and administrative expenses not attributed to a business unit. The Company only identifies accounts receivable and inventory by segment as shown below as “Selected Assets”; it does not allocate its other assets, including capital expenditures by segment.
