NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Quarterly results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. For further information, refer to the annual financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2007.

2. General

Description of Business

Emtec, Inc. (the “Company”) is an information technology (“IT”) company, providing consulting, services and products to commercial, federal, education, state and local verticals. The Company’s areas of specific practices include communications, data management, enterprise computing, managed services, storage and data center planning and development. The Company’s client base is comprised of departments of the United States Federal Government, U.S. state and local governments, schools and commercial businesses throughout the United States. The most significant portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from activities as a reseller of Information Technology (“IT”) products, such as workstations, servers, microcomputers, and application software and networking and communications equipment.
 
The Company considers all of its operating activity to be generated from a single operating segment.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Emtec, Inc. a New Jersey Corporation (“Emtec NJ”), Emtec Viasub LLC (“Emtec LLC”), Emtec LLC’s wholly owned subsidiary Emtec Federal, Inc. (“Emtec Federal”), and Emtec Global Services LLC (“EGS”). Significant intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, including, but not limited to, receivable valuations, impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets, and income taxes. Management’s estimates are based on historical experience, facts and circumstances available at the time, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company reviews these matters and reflects changes in estimates as appropriate. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Rebates

Rebates received on purchased products are recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of income as a reduction of the cost of revenues, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Abstract No. 02-16, Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor (EITF 02-16). At November 30, 2007 and August 31, 2007, approximately $10,494,000 and $2,298,000, respectively, of rebates receivable were recorded in "Receivable-other" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market. Inventories consist of finished goods purchased for resale and consists of computer hardware, computer software, computer peripherals and related supplies.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share amounts are computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted average shares outstanding (the denominator), during the period. Shares issued during the period are weighted for the portion of the period that they were outstanding.
 
Diluted earnings per share amounts are similar to the computation of basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive options and warrants had been exercised. The assumed conversion of options and warrants resulted in 121,382 and 1,382 additional dilutive shares for the three months ended November 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Outstanding stock warrants to purchase 1,598,365 common shares as of November 30, 2007 and 2006, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended November 30, 2007 and 2006, because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common shares.
 
Income Taxes
 
On September 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on de-recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues. FIN 48 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions accounted for in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
 
 
5

 
As a result of the implementation of FIN 48 on September 1, 2007, the Company recorded a liability for unrecognized tax obligations of $539,580. In accordance with FIN 48, the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle is required to be treated as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company’s adoption of FIN 48 resulted in a decrease in retained earnings of $132,812.
 
Subsequent to the initial adoption of FIN 48, our policy is to recognize interest and penalty expense associated with uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense in the consolidated statements of income. During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we recorded interest associated with uncertain tax positions in the amount of $11,105 as an increase to current income tax expense.
 
The total liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $539,580 as of November 30, 2007. Of this amount, $52,234 would benefit our tax provision if realized. The remainder would not affect the provision, would be adjusted against either deferred tax assets or goodwill based on the nature of its origin.
 
During the fiscal 2006 year, Emtec Federal, formerly Westwood Computer Corporation (“Westwood”) was audited by the IRS. The IRS audited the two-predecessor tax years ended April 16, 2004. With one exception, all tax matters identified by the IRS have been settled, with appropriate adjustments recorded in the current tax expense for the year ended August 31, 2006. The one currently unsettled matter involves a disagreement with the IRS over the valuation of real property sold by Westwood to a related party during Westwood’s 2003 fiscal year. The IRS has asserted that the Company’s property valuation and resulting taxable gain was understated by $1.5 million, which could result in approximately $521,000 in federal income tax liability plus potential interest and penalties. Discussions with the IRS are continuing. The Company has submitted a letter to the IRS objecting to the IRS’s valuation, explaining the basis for Westwood’s valuation of the property, and requesting a conference with the Appeals Office of IRS. While the Company believes that it has adequately supported the valuation of the transaction and reported the appropriate income taxes, there can be no assurance that its valuation will ultimately be accepted by the IRS. It is reasonably possible that this audit could be completed within the next twelve months with the Company and the IRS resolving all issues. We estimate a range of reasonably possible increase or decrease in total unrecognized federal and state income tax benefits of approximately $200,000 that could result from a settlement with IRS.
 
Under the provisions of the merger agreement executed in connection with its acquisition of Westwood, some of the potential liability recorded in connection with the dispute with the IRS is subject to indemnification coverage by the former owners of Westwood. The Company recorded a $341,165 other receivable on the balance sheet at November 30, 2007 to record this potential recovery under the indemnification provisions.
 
We conduct business nationally and, as a result, file income tax returns in the U.S federal jurisdiction and various state and local jurisdictions. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to federal, state or local income tax examinations for tax returns filed for fiscal years 2002 and prior.

3. Stock Options, Non-Vested Shares and Warrants
 
Stock Options
 
The Company’s 2006 Stock-Based Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2006 Plan”) was approved by the stockholders on May 8, 2006. The 2006 Plan authorizes the granting of stock options to directors and eligible employees. The Company has reserved 1,400,000 shares of its common stock for issuance under the 2006 Plan at prices not less than 100% of the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant (110% in the case of stockholders owning more than 10% of the Company’s common stock). Options under the 2006 Plan have terms from 7 to 10 years and vest immediately through 4 years.

The Company measures the fair value of options on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Company estimated the expected volatility using the Company’s historical stock price data and used historical exercise and forfeiture behaviors to estimate the options, expected term and our forfeiture rate. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve in effect on the grant date. Both expected volatility and the risk-free interest rate are based on a period that approximates the expected term.

Stock-Based Compensation - Stock Options and Nonvested (Restricted) Stock
 
Stock-based compensation costs related to the 2006 Plan totaled $67,352 and $80,841 during the three months ended November 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. As of November 30, 2007, the Company had recognized a total of $494,389 in compensation cost and $424,619 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to these options. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4 years.
 
Warrants
 
On August 5, 2005, the Company issued certain stockholders stock warrants that evidence the obligation of the Company to issue a variable number of shares, in the aggregate, equal to 10% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, measured on a post-exercise basis, at any date during the 5-year term of the warrants, which ends August 5, 2010.  The aggregate exercise price of these warrants is fixed at $3,695,752.  The exercise price per warrant will vary based upon the number of shares issuable under the warrants.  The number of shares issuable under the warrants totaled 1,648,807 and 1,598,365 shares, with an exercise price of $2.24 and $2.31 per share, as of November 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The outstanding stock warrants were anti-dilutive for the three months ended November 30, 2007 and 2006, because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common shares.

In December 2006, the Company, Emtec NJ, Emtec LLC, and Emtec Federal (collectively, the “Borrower”), entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with De Lage Landen Financial Services, Inc. (the “Lender”) pursuant to which the Lender provides the Borrower a with a revolving credit loan and floor plan loan (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility provides for aggregate borrowings of the lesser of $32.0 million or 85% of Borrower’s eligible accounts receivable, plus 100% of unsold inventory financed by the Lender, minus a $5.0 million reserve. The floor plan loan portion of the Credit Facility is for the purchase of inventory from approved vendors and for other business purposes. The Credit Facility subjects the Borrower to mandatory repayments upon the occurrence of certain events as set forth in the Credit Facility.
 
Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to the rate of interest published in the “Money Rates” section of the Wall Street Journal minus 0.5% (7.00% as of November 30, 2007) for revolving credit loans. Floor plan loans shall not bear interest until the Borrower is in default, unless a floorplan loan is unsubsidized, then, such floor plan loan will accrue interest once made, at the rate agreed to by the parties. Interest on outstanding floor plan loans accrues at the rate of 2.5% per annum in excess of the interest rate published in the “Money Rates” section of the Wall Street Journal (10.00% as of November 30, 2007).

To secure the payment of the obligations under the Credit Facility, the Borrower granted the Lender a security interest in all of Borrower’s assets, including inventory, equipment, fixtures, accounts, chattel paper, instruments, deposit accounts, documents, general intangibles, letters of credit rights, and all judgments, claims and insurance policies.
 
On November 15, 2007, the Lender increased the Credit Facility from $32.0 million to $44.0 million. This temporary increase is available to the Company through January 2008.
 
The Company had balances of $9.97 million and $5.85 million outstanding under the revolving portion of the Credit Facility, and balances of $17.75 million and $2.63 million (included in the Company’s accounts payable) outstanding plus $782,200 and $1.80 million in open approvals under the floor plan portion of the Credit Facility with Lender at November 30, 2007 and August 31, 2007, respectively. Net availability of $74,145 and $8.78 million was available under the revolving portion of the Credit Facility, and $15.42 million and $12.95 million was available under the floor plan portion of the Credit Facility, as of November 30, 2007 and August 31, 2007, respectively.

On December 6, 2007, the Lender agreed to provide 85% eligibility on certain rebates receivable, which amounted to additional availability of $6.50 million under the revolving portion of the Credit Facility.

As of November 30, 2007, the Company determined that it was in compliance with its financial covenants with the Lender.

Federal Bureau of Prisons, one of the departments of the United States Government accounted for approximately $10.2 million or 13.7% of the Company’s total revenues for the three months ended November 30, 2007. The same customer accounted for approximately $138,000 or 0.2% of the Company’s total revenues for the three months ended November 30, 2006.

The Company reviews a customer's credit history before extending credit. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support credit sales. The Company provides for an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the credit risk of specific customers, historical experience and other identified risks. Trade receivables are carried at original invoice less an estimate made for doubtful receivables, based on review by management of all outstanding amounts on a periodic basis. Trade receivables are considered delinquent when payment is not received within standard terms of sale, and are trade receivables charged-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when management determines that recovery is unlikely, and the Company ceases its collection efforts.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the unaudited financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
 
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
 
You should carefully review the information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in other reports or documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains our beliefs regarding future events and our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify those so-called “forward-looking statements” by words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of those words and other comparable words. You should be aware that those statements are only our predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to forward-looking statements after the date of this report. In evaluating those statements, you should specifically consider various factors, including the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2007 and other reports or documents that we file from time to time with the SEC. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or a person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.
 
Assumptions relating to budgeting, marketing, and other management decisions are subjective in many respects and thus susceptible to interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments, the impact of which may cause us to alter our marketing, capital expenditure, or other budgets, which may in turn affect our business, financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Total revenues increased $9.70 million, or 14.9%, to $74.64 million for the three months ended November 30, 2007, compared to $64.94 million for the three months ended November 30, 2006. This increase is primarily attributable to an overall increase in our customers’ IT spending.
 
During the three months ended November 30, 2007 and 2006, U.S. governmental department and agency related revenues represented approximately 64.8% and 71.1% of total revenues, respectively. These clients include the Department of Defense, Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Agriculture, Department of Commerce, and the General Service Administration. Revenues from various civilian and military U.S. governmental departments and agencies increased by approximately $2.2 million during the three months ended November 30, 2007 compared with the three months ended November 30, 2006. This is primarily attributable to a large computer hardware sale to Federal Bureau of Prisons of approximately $10.2 million during this period. The federal business typically experiences increased activity during the months of August through November.
 
It is expected that federal government business revenues will continue to represent a large portion of our total revenues as we continue to strive to penetrate wider and deeper into various civilian and military agencies. We have broadened the number of multi-year contracts in which we are participating, and we are one of nine awardees of a U.S. Army contract that contemplates the awardees participating in government purchases, which may approximate $5.0 billion over 10 years. Additionally, we were awarded a NASA SEWP IV contract under which we will be able to participate in possible government purchases of IT products and associated services. We continue to bid on new contracts. As a result of our existing federal government contracts, as well as our ongoing focus on seeking new contracts, we believe that our total future revenues derived from the federal government business will be similar to prior periods although our business may be subject to federal government budgetary pressures and constraints. The federal business typically experiences increased activity during the months of August through November.

The state and local government business remains uncertain due to the tight budgetary pressures within governmental agencies in the State of New Jersey.
 
Revenues from various commercial customers increased by approximately $1.97 million during the three months ended November 30, 2007 compared with the three months ended November 30, 2006. This increase is primarily attributable to an overall increase in our commercial customers’ IT spending during this period. The commercial sector is expected to remain stable. There is a solid well-established client base to build upon as we expand product and service offerings to existing clients as well as develop new relationships in the sizable New Jersey/New York marketplace.
 
 
15

 
During the three months ended November 30, 2007, our education business increased to approximately $9.47 million from $4.14 million for the three months ended November 30, 2006. This increase was primarily attributable to various computer roll-out projects we began to implement in May 2007 which were completed during this quarter compared to a lower level of computer roll-out projects in the three months ended November 30, 2006.
 
We have historically not been adversely affected by inflation; technological advances and competition within the IT industry have generally caused the prices of the products we sell to decline, and product life-cycles tend to be short. These factors require that our growth in unit sales exceed any declines in prices in order for us to increase our net sales.
 
Gross Profit

Aggregate gross profit increased $2.59 million, or 42.7%, to $8.64 million for the three months ended November 30, 2007 as compared to $6.06 million for the three months ended November 30, 2006. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in revenues as discussed in the Total Revenues section, an increase in our services gross profit attributable to various computer roll-out projects in our education business which we completed during this quarter and various volume incentive rebates and other incentives offered by certain manufacturers during this period under which we received approximately $600,000 in additional various volume incentive rebates during the three months ended November 30, 2007 compared with the three months ended November 30, 2006. We also received special pricing rebates from various manufacturers which are reflected in gross profit, but do not directly correlate to overall gross profit. The application of the special pricing rebates to gross profit is also impacted by the price to a customer, the cost to purchase the product, and the size of the applicable special pricing rebate.
 
Measured as a percentage of revenues, our gross profit margin increased to 11.6% of total revenues for the three months ended November 30, 2007 from 9.3% for the three months ended November 30, 2006. This increase is primarily attributable to pricing strategies, volume incentive rebates received, the mix of product and services sold, the mix of client type and higher utilization of our technical engineers during this period.
 
Factors that may affect gross profits in the future include changes in product margins, volume incentive rebates and other incentives offered by various manufacturers, changes in technical employee utilization rates, the mix of products and services sold, the mix of client type and the decision to aggressively price certain products and services.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $408,847, or 7.6% to $5.76 million for the three months ended November 30, 2007, compared to $5.35 million for the three months ended November 30, 2006. This increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is mainly due to an increase in sales commission expense by approximately $399,000, which is directly related to the increase in our gross profit as discussed in the Gross Profit section.
 
 
16

 
Factors that may in the future have a negative impact on our selling, general and administrative costs include costs associated with marketing and selling activities, potential merger related costs, technological improvement costs, compliance costs associated with SEC rules and increases in our insurance costs.
 
Management Fee-Related Party

The Management Services Agreement was terminated on February 5, 2007. Under the terms of the agreement, DARR Global Holdings, Inc. (“DARR Global”), a related party, charged the Company a monthly management fee of $29,167.
 
Rent Expense-Related Party
 
We occupy approximately 42,000 square feet of office and warehouse space in Springfield, New Jersey. This space is leased from a limited liability company owned by certain directors and officers and related family members of the Company. The lease term is through April 2009 with monthly base rent of $15,000. During the three months ended November 30, 2007 and 2006, we recorded $45,000 in expense under this lease.

We also occupy approximately 21,000 square feet of office and warehouse space in a 70,000 square foot building in Suwannee, GA. This space is leased from a limited liability company in which certain officers of our company are passive investors, owning approximately a 20% equity interest. The lease term is for 5 years with monthly base rent of $12,500. During the three months ended November 30, 2007 and 2006, we recorded $44,325 in expense under this lease.

Management believes the leases noted above are being leased at a rate consistent with the market rate.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and Amortization expense increased by 15.9%, or $41,252, to $300,503 for the three months ended November 30, 2007, compared to $259,251 for the three months ended November 30, 2006. This increase in depreciation expense is mainly due to the change in the estimated life of the computer equipment purchased during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007.
 
Intangible assets at November 30, 2007 and August 31, 2007 consisted of the value ascribed to customer relationships of $8,661,712 less accumulated amortization of $1,374,024 and $1,228,936, respectively. The assets ascribed to customer relationships are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 13 to 15 years. Amortization expense was $145,089 for each of the three months ended November 30, 2007 and 2006.
 
Operating Income

Operating income increased $2.22 million, or 807.0%, to $2.50 million for the three months ended November 30, 2007, compared to $275,615 for the three months ended November 30, 2006. This increase is attributable to increased revenues and gross profits as discussed in the Total Revenue and Gross Profit sections above.
 
Interest expense

Interest expense increased by 61.5%, or $128,305, to $337,023 for the three months ended November 30, 2007, compared to $208,718 for the three months ended November 30, 2006. This is mainly due to a higher average balance on our line of credit and revenue growth during three months ended November 30, 2007 as compared to the three months ended November 30, 2006.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income tax expense increased by $859,228, to $934,274 for the three months ended November 30, 2007, compared to $75,046 for the three months ended November 30, 2006. This increase is primarily attributable to $2.07 million increase in income before income taxes in the current quarter compared to the prior quarter. Income tax expense of $75,046 for the three months ended November 30, 2006 included approximately $30,000 non-deductible permanent difference. Without this non-deductible permanent difference our effective tax rate for the three months ended November 30, 2006 was 41.7% compared with 42.8% for the three months ended November 30, 2007.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
Fair Value Measurements
 
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB’) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides enhanced guidance to other pronouncements that require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those years. The standard is effective for the Company as of the beginning of its first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007, or September 1, 2008. On November 14, 2007, the FASB voted for a proposed deferral of a portion of SFAS No. 157. We are currently reviewing the impact, if any, of SFAS No. 157 on our financial statements.
 
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 provides all entities with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The objective of SFAS No. 159 is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply the complex provisions of hedge accounting. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 does not eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards. The standard is effective for the Company as of the beginning of its first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007, or September 1, 2008. We are currently reviewing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on our financial statements.
 
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an Amendment of ARB 51, (“SFAS 160”).” This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest (minority interest) in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Upon its adoption, effective as of the beginning of the Company’s fiscal 2010, noncontrolling interests will be classified as equity in the Company’s financial statements and income and comprehensive income attributed to the noncontrolling interest will be included in the Company’s income and comprehensive income. The provisions of this standard must be applied retrospectively upon adoption. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 160 on our results of operations and financial position.

Business Combinations

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”). SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The provisions of SFAS 141(R) are effective for our business combinations occurring on or after June 1, 2009.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash at November 30, 2007 of $1.27 million represented a decrease of $980,661 from $2.25 million at August 31, 2007. We are a net borrower; consequently, we believe our cash balance must be viewed along with the available balance on our line of credit. Borrowings under our line of credit at November 30, 2007 increased to $9.97 million from $5.85 million at August 31, 2007. This increase is line of credit and decrease in cash balance at November 30, 2007 are primarily attributable to revenue growth during this period. As of November 30, 2007, our net working capital was approximately $1.66 million higher than it was at August 31, 2007. The increase in working capital are primarily attributable to net income of $1.24 million for the three months ended November 30, 2007.
 
In December 2006, the Company and its subsidiaries, Emtec NJ, Emtec LLC, and Emtec Federal (the Company, Emtec NJ, Emtec LLC and Emtec Federal, collectively, the “Borrower”), entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with De Lage Landen Financial Services, Inc. (the “Lender”) pursuant to which the Lender have been providing the Borrower a revolving credit loan and floor plan loan (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility provides for aggregate borrowings of the lesser of $32.0 million or 85% of Borrower’s eligible accounts receivable, plus 100% of unsold inventory financed by the Lender, minus a $5.0 million reserve. The floor plan loan portion of the Credit Facility is for the purchase of inventory from approved vendors and for other business purposes. The Credit Facility subjects the Borrower to mandatory repayments upon the occurrence of certain events as set forth in the Credit Facility.
 
Borrowings under the Credit Facility will bear interest at an annual rate equal to the rate of interest published in the “Money Rates” section of the Wall Street Journal minus 0.5% (7.00% as of November 30, 2007) for revolving credit loans. Floor plan loans shall not bear interest until the Borrower is in default unless a floor plan loan is unsubsidized; then such floor plan loan will accrue interest once made at the rate agreed to by the parties. Interest on outstanding floor plan loans accrues per annum at the rate of 2.5% in excess of the interest rate published in the “Money Rates” section of the Wall Street Journal.
 
 
19

 
To secure the payment of the obligations under the Credit Facility, the Borrower granted to the Lender a security interest in all of Borrower’s interests in certain of its assets, including inventory, equipment, fixtures, accounts, chattel paper, instruments, deposit accounts, documents, general intangibles, letters of credit rights, and all judgments, claims and insurance policies.
 
In addition, the Lender and Avnet, Inc., one of our trade creditors, entered into an intercreditor agreement in which the Lender agreed to give Avnet a first lien position on all future unbilled service maintenance billings and which provides that, as regards to Avnet, all debt obligations to the Lender are accorded priority.
 
On November 15, 2007, the Lender increased the Credit Facility from $32.0 million to $44.0 million. This temporary increase is available to us through January 2008. 
 
As of November 30, 2007, we had an outstanding balance of $9.97 million under the revolving portion of the Credit Facility and $17.75 million outstanding (included in the Company’s accounts payable) balances plus $782,200 in open approvals under the floor plan portion of the Credit Facility with Lender. Net availability of $74,145 was available under the revolving portion of the Credit Facility and $15.42 million was available under was available under the floor plan portion of the Credit Facility as of November 30, 2007.

On December 6, 2007, the Lender agreed to provide 85% eligibility on certain special pricing rebates receivables, which amounted to additional availability of $6.50 million under the revolving portion of the Credit Facility.

As of November 30, 2007, the Company determined that it was in compliance with its financial covenants with the Lender.

As of November 30, 2007, we had open term credit facilities with our primary trade vendors, including aggregators and manufacturers, of approximately $28.5 million with outstanding principal of approximately $11.90 million. Under these lines, we are typically obligated to pay each invoice within 30-45 days from the date of such invoice. These credit lines could be reduced or eliminated without notice and this action could have a material adverse affect on our business, result of operations, and financial condition.
 
Capital expenditures of $17,836 during the three months ended November 30, 2007 related primarily to the purchase of computer equipment for internal use. We anticipate our capital expenditures for our fiscal year ending August 31, 2008 will be approximately $600,000, of which approximately $350,000 will be for the upgrade of our organizational computer system and the remaining $250,000 will primarily be for the purchase of computer equipment for internal use and leasehold improvement.
 
We anticipate that our primary sources of liquidity in fiscal year 2008 will be cash generated from operations, trade vendor credit and cash available to us under our Credit Facility. Our future financial performance will depend on our ability to continue to reduce and manage operating expenses as well as our ability to grow revenues. Any loss of clients, whether due to price competition or technological advances, will have an adverse affect on our revenues. Our future financial performance could be negatively affected by unforeseen factors and unplanned expenses. See “Forward Looking Statements” and “Business - Risk Factors” discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2007.
 
 
20

 
We have no arrangements or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that are reasonably likely to materially affect liquidity or the availability of or requirements for capital resources.
 
We believe that funds generated from operations, trade vendor credit and bank borrowings should be sufficient to meet our current operating cash requirements through the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that all of the aforementioned sources of cash can be realized.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles that are generally accepted in the United States. The methods, estimates, and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements. The SEC has defined critical accounting policies as policies that involve critical accounting estimates that require (i) management to make assumptions that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and (ii) different estimates that could have been reasonably used for the current period, or changes in the estimates that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, which would have a material impact on the presentation of our financial condition, changes in financial condition or in result of operations. Based on this definition, our most critical policies include: revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation reserve, the assessment of recoverability of long-lived assets, the assessment of recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets, rebates, and income taxes.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
We recognize revenue from the sales of products when risk of loss and title passes which is upon client acceptance.
 
Revenue from the sale of warranties and support service contracts is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Technical Bulleting No. 90-1, Accounting for Separately Priced Extended Warranty and Product Maintenance Contracts (“FTB 90-1”).
 
We may also enter into sales arrangements with clients that contain multiple elements. We recognize revenue from sale arrangements that contain both products and manufacturer warranties in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” based on the relative fair value of the individual components. The relative fair value of individual components is based on historical sales of the components sold separately.
 
Product revenue represents sales of computer hardware and pre-packaged software. These arrangements often include software installations, configurations, and imaging, along with delivery and set-up of hardware. We follow the criteria contained in EITF 00-21 and Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 (“SAB 104”) in recognizing revenue associated with these transactions. We perform software installations, configurations and imaging services at our locations prior to the delivery of the product. Some client arrangements include “set-up” services performed at client locations where our personnel perform the routine tasks of removing the equipment from boxes, and setting up the equipment at client workstations by plugging in all necessary connections. This service is usually performed the same day as delivery. Revenue is recognized on the date of acceptance, except as follows:
 
·
In some instances, the “set-up” service is performed after date of delivery. We recognize revenue for the “hardware” component at date of delivery when the amount of revenue allocable to this component is not contingent upon the completion of “set-up” services and, therefore, our client has agreed that the transaction is complete as to the “hardware” component. In instances where our client does not accept delivery until “set-up” services are completed, we defer all revenue in the transaction until client acceptance occurs.
 
 
21

 
·
There are occasions when a client requests a transaction on a “bill & hold” basis. We follow the SAB 104 criteria and recognize revenue from these sales prior to date of physical delivery only when all the criteria of SAB 104 are met. We do not modify our normal billing and credit terms for these customers. The customer is invoiced at the date of revenue recognition when all of the criteria have been met.
 
We have experienced minimal customer returns. Since all eligible products must be returned to us within 30 days from the date of the invoice, we reduce the product revenue and cost of goods in each accounting period based on the actual returns that occurred in the next 30 days after the close of the accounting period.
 
Service and consulting revenue include time billings based upon billable hours charged to clients, fixed price short-term projects, hardware maintenance contracts, and manufacturer support service contracts. These contracts generally are task specific and do not involve multiple deliverables. Revenues from time billings are recognized as services are delivered. Revenues from short-term fixed price projects are recognized using the proportionate performance method by determining the level of service performed based upon the amount of labor cost incurred on the project versus the total labor costs to perform the project because this is the most readily reliable measure of output. Revenues from hardware maintenance contracts are recognized ratably over the contract period.
 
Revenues from manufacturer support service contracts where the manufacturer is responsible for fulfilling the service requirements of the client are recognized immediately on their contract sale date. Manufacturer support service contracts contain cancellation privileges that allow our clients to terminate a contract with 90 days written notice. In this event, the client is entitled to a pro-rated refund based on the remaining term of the contract, and we would owe the manufacturer a pro-rated refund of the cost of the contract. However, we have experienced no client cancellations of any significance during our most recent 3-year history and do not expect cancellations of any significance in the future.

Trade Receivables

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our clients to make required payments. We base our estimates on the aging of our accounts receivable balances and our historical write-off experience, net of recoveries. If the financial condition of our clients were to deteriorate, additional allowances may be required. We believe the accounting estimate related to the allowance for doubtful accounts is a “critical accounting estimate” because changes in it can significantly affect net income.

Inventories
 
Inventory is stated at the lower of average cost or market. Inventory is entirely finished goods purchased for resale and consists of computer hardware, computer software, computer peripherals and related supplies. We provide an inventory reserve for products we determine are obsolete or where salability has deteriorated based on management’s review of products and sales.
 
 
22

 
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
 
We have adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”). As a result, amortization of goodwill was discontinued. Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a business combination accounted for under the purchase method. We test goodwill and indefinite-lived assets for impairment at least annually (on June 1) in accordance with SFAS 142.
 
Intangible assets at August 31, 2007 and 2006 consisted of the value ascribed to customer relationships. The assets ascribed to customer relationships are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 13 to 15 years. Intangible assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” Recoverability of long-lived assets is assessed by a comparison of the carrying amount to the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If estimated undiscounted future net cash flows are less than the carrying amount, the asset is considered impaired and a loss would be recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Rebates

Rebates are recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of income as a reduction of the cost of revenues in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Abstract No. 02-16, Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor (EITF 02-16).

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, we generally consider all expected future events other than the enactment of changes in tax laws or rates. A valuation allowance is recognized if, on weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Information About Market Risk
 
We do not engage in trading market risk sensitive instruments and do not purchase hedging instruments or “other than trading” instruments that are likely to expose us to market risk, whether interest rate, foreign currency exchange, commodity price or equity price risk. We have issued no debt instruments, entered into no forward or future contracts, purchased no options and entered into no swaps. Our primary market risk exposures are those of interest rate fluctuations. A change in interest rates would affect the rate at which we could borrow funds under our revolving credit facility. Our balance on the line of credit at November 30, 2007 was approximately $9.97 million. Assuming no material increase or decrease in such balance, a one percent change in the interest rate would change our interest expense by approximately $99,700 annually.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
 
(a) Our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of November 30, 2007. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving the stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
 
(b) There has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended November 30, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
