Segment Reporting

The Company divides its operating activity into two operating segments for reporting purposes: Emtec Systems Integration (“ESI”) and Emtec Global Sourcing (“EGS”).  The Company changed the names of these segments in 2010, however historical numbers associated with these segments remain the same.  Our ESI segment provides clients a wide variety of services including outsourced consulting application services and infrastructure consulting and outsourcing.  Our EGS segment provides our clients the opportunity to take advantage of our consulting resources and offshore resources when they are not specifically looking for us to manage their project.  We will continue to reassess our segment reporting structure in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 280 Segment Reporting.
 
Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances in order to conform to current presentations.
 
FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

The Company identifies the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC” or “ASC”) as the authoritative source of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants.
 
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, income taxes and valuations of put instruments and earnout obligations relating to acquisitions.  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 materially from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables approximates their carrying values due to their short maturities.  The fair value of non-current financial instrument assets and liabilities approximate their carrying value unless otherwise stated.  The carrying value of the PNC Credit Facility approximated its fair value due to its variable interest rate.  In addition, the carrying value of the subordinated debt approximates its fair value as the issuance dates, August 15, 2011 and December 30, 2011, are close in proximity to the May 31, 2012 date of the financial statements.  Furthermore, there have been no changes to the credit markets or the Company’s financial position since the issuance dates that would impact the fair value of the subordinated debt in any material respect.

 
8

 
 
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurement, the estimated fair values of amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements have been determined using available market information and valuation methodologies, as applicable.  Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  Entities are required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value based upon the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 —
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
 
Level 2 —
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, 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 for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

Level 3 —
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The following table summarizes the financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of May 31, 2012 and August 31, 2011 (in thousands):
 
   
Level
   
May 31, 2012
   
August 31, 2011
 
Warrant liability
    2     $ 2,279     $ 1,452  
Earn-out liabilities
    3     $ 4,698     $ 4,764  
 
The warrant liabilities were recorded at fair value based on upon valuation models that utilize relevant factors such as expected life, volatility of the Company’s stock price, and the risk free interest rate.

The following table summarizes the changes in earnout liabilities for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 (in thousands):
 
   
Earnout Liabilities
 
Balance at August 31, 2011
  $ 4,764  
Valuation adjustments
    434  
Payments
    (500 )
Balance at May 31, 2012
  $ 4,698  

The earnout liabilities were recorded at fair value based on valuation models that utilize relevant factors such as expected life and estimated probabilities of the acquired companies achieving the performance targets throughout the earnout periods.  Unobservable inputs used in the valuation of the earnout liabilities included discount rates, ranging from 19% to 21%, and probabilities, ranging from 10% to 95%, associated with the achievement of the earnout targets in future years.

A significant increase (decrease) in the discount rate, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement, and a significant increase (decrease) in any of the probabilities, in isolation, would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

Financing Costs
 
Financing costs incurred are amortized over the life of the associated financing arrangements. Amortization expense totaled approximately $97,000 and $-0- for the three months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  During the nine months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, amortization expense totaled approximately $238,000 and $-0-, respectively.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets of acquired companies.  The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 by reportable segment are as follows (in thousands):
 
   
EIS
   
EGS
   
Total
 
Balance at August 31, 2011
    16,222       2,386       18,609  
Foreign currency translation effect of Canadian goodwill
    (56 )     -       (56 )
Adjustment to Covelix goodwill
    (94 )     -       (94 )
Adjustment to Dinero goodwill
    11       -       11  
Balance at May 31, 2012
  $ 16,083     $ 2,386     $ 18,470  
 
In accordance with ASC Topic 350 Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, goodwill is not amortized, but rather tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.  Goodwill is tested for impairment at one level below an operating segment (also known as a reporting unit) in accordance with the guidance of ASC Topic 350. These reporting units are comprised of Systems Division, KOAN-IT, Luceo, eBAS/Aveeva, SDI, Dinero, Covelix and Emerging.  The Company has set an annual impairment testing date of June 1. However, the Company has not yet completed its annual impairment testing as of June 1, 2012.

An impairment charge will be recognized only when the implied fair value of a reporting unit, including goodwill, is less than its carrying amount.  The impairment determination is made at the reporting unit level and consists of two steps.  First, the Company determines the fair value of the reporting unit and compares it to its carrying amount.  Second, if the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill.  The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation, in accordance with ASC Topic 805 Business Combinations.  The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill.

The Company’s stock does not trade frequently and thus management believes the inherent value of the Company is not and has not been accurately reflected by the current or historical stock market valuation of the Company.  Accordingly, the Company continues to believe that the income and market-based approaches are the most appropriate valuation methods.
 
In accordance with ASC Topic 350, the Company performed its annual impairment testing as of June 1, 2011.  Based on this testing and its continued monitoring of market conditions and the operating performance of its reporting units, the Company does not currently believe that there is an indication of goodwill impairment at May 31, 2012.  However, if current market conditions change and the Company’s estimated value(s) under the income and/or market-based approaches is/are affected, then it is possible that the Company could have to take a goodwill impairment charge against earnings in a future period.

Customer relationships represent the fair value ascribed to customer relationships purchased from fiscal 2005 through fiscal 2011 through the Company’s acquisitions.  The amounts ascribed to customer relationships are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 5-15 years.

Noncompete agreements represent the value ascribed to covenants not to compete in employment and acquisition agreements entered into with certain members or stockholders of acquired companies.  The amounts ascribed to noncompete agreements are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 3-5 years.

Software technology represents the value ascribed to software developed by an acquired company.  The amount ascribed to software technology is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 3 years.

Trademarks represent the value ascribed to trademarks owned by an acquired company.  The amount ascribed to trademarks is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years.

Trade names represent the value ascribed to trade names owned by various acquired companies.  The amounts ascribed to trade names are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years.

Amortization expense related to intangible assets was $911,000 and $593,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  For the nine months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, amortization expense was $2.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively.  We currently expect future amortization to be as follows (in thousands):

Long-lived assets, including customer relationships, noncompete agreements, software technology, trademarks and trade names, as well as property and equipment, are tested for recoverability in accordance with ASC Topic 350 Intangibles - Goodwill and Other and ASC Topic 360 Property, Plant and Equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable  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.  No impairment of long-lived assets occurred during the three or nine months ended May 31, 2012 or May 31, 2011.

Foreign Currency Translation and Other Comprehensive Income (loss)

The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars for consolidation and reporting purposes.  The functional currency for the Company’s foreign operations is the local currency.  Current rates of exchange are used to translate assets and liabilities.  Adjustments to translate those statements into U.S. dollars are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

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 during the period (the denominator).  Shares issued during the period are weighted for the portion of the period that they were outstanding.

The computation of diluted earnings per share is 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, restricted stock awards and warrants had been exercised as of the end of the period and cash received from the exercise were used to repurchase shares in the open market (the “Treasury Share Method”).  Potentially dilutive shares consist of stock options, restricted stock awards and warrants totaling 2,390,165 shares and 1,706,594 shares for the three month periods ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and 3,038,836 shares and 1,382,879 shares for the nine month periods ended May 31, 2012 and  2011, respectively. Diluted shares for the three and nine month periods ended May 31, 2012 and 2011 were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because the effect of the inclusion would be anti-dilutive. In addition, outstanding warrants to purchase 1,401,733 and 1,401,733 common shares as of May 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common shares over those periods.

Income Taxes

The Company conducts business in the United States, Canada and India.  With respect to its U.S. operations, the Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and local jurisdictions.  The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740 Income Taxes.  The Company files a federal consolidated tax return that includes all U.S. entities.  The Company also files several combined/consolidated state tax returns and several separate state tax returns.  Deferred taxes result from temporary differences, which are the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities.  Deferred tax assets are recognized for tax loss carryforwards.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.  Deferred taxes result from timing differences primarily relating to net operating losses, bad debts, inventory reserves, deferred revenue, fixed asset depreciation, compensation expenses and intangible asset amortization.

With a few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to federal, state or local income tax examinations for tax returns filed for fiscal years 2008 and prior.

3. Liquidity

The Company has incurred significant operating losses for fiscal 2011 as well as for the nine months ended May 31, 2012.  In addition, the Company had a working capital deficit at August 31, 2011 and May 31, 2012, and is dependent on its line of credit to finance its working capital needs.  The 2011 loss can be attributed primarily to reduced procurement revenues from the federal business associated with the federal debt and budget crisis in 2011 and certain non-cash charges including a warrant liability adjustment and an earnout liability adjustment.  We believe the operating loss for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 was  related primarily to timing delays with one of our education clients due to budgetary issues.  We have managed our liquidity during this time through a cost reduction initiative that we implemented in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 and borrowings under our credit facility.

The Company believes that its existing resources together with available borrowings under its credit facility, the annualized cost savings from the cost reduction initiative described above and expected cash flow from operations will provide sufficient liquidity for at least the next 12 months.

4. Acquisitions

Dinero Solutions, LLC and Covelix, Inc.

On February 3, 2011 and March 1, 2011, EGS LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interest or stock of Dinero and Covelix, respectively.  The Company may be required to pay additional variable cash and stock consideration each year for the next three years on the anniversary of the respective acquisition dates that is contingent upon the achievement of certain performance milestones.  The aggregate fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement at the respective acquisition dates was $1.1 million.  The Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration using probability assessments of expected future cash flows over the period in which the obligation is expected to be settled, and applied a discount rate that appropriately captures a market participant’s view of the risk associated with the obligation. This fair value is based on significant inputs not observable in the market.  As of May 31, 2012, the contingent consideration liability associated with these acquisitions was $1.2 million, net of a $500,000 earnout payment during the quarter ended May 31, 2012, based on valuation models that utilize relevant factors such as expected life and the estimated probabilities of Dinero and Covelix achieving the performance targets throughout the earnout periods.  The Company recorded expense on its consolidated statements of operations of $130,000 and $-0- for the three months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  For the nine months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded expense on its consolidated statements of operations of $572,000 and $-0-, respectively.

The equity included in the reported aggregate consideration of one of the acquisitions consisted of the fair value of the “puttable” restricted common stock of the Company at the acquisition date.  The “put” feature embedded in the restricted common stock allows each former shareholder a one-time election to put all of their restricted common stock to the Company at a fixed price on the third anniversary of the acquisition date.  However, the exercise of the one-time put option is contingent upon the acquired company achieving a certain performance milestone measured over a three-year period.  Management calculated the fair value of the put using a Black-Scholes valuation model.  In accordance with SEC Accounting Series Release No. 268 Presentation in Financial Statements of Redeemable Preferred Stocks, the puttable stock is subject to equity accounting and is classified on the Company’s balance sheet as temporary equity.

As part of the purchase, the Company issued restricted common stock to a former sole member of one of the acquired companies. The shares vest over a three-year period contingent upon the acquired company achieving certain performance milestones and the continued employment of its former sole member. Pursuant to ASC Topic 805-10-55, Business Combinations – Overall – Implementation, the restricted stock is being treated as compensation rather than additional consideration since the vesting of the stock is linked to the continued employment at the Company of the former sole member of the acquired company. Furthermore, the restricted stock issued contains an embedded “put” feature that allows the former sole member of the acquired company a one-time election to put all of his restricted common stock to the Company at a fixed price on the third anniversary of the acquisition date.  However, the exercise of the one-time put option is contingent upon the acquired company achieving a certain performance milestone measured over a three-year period.  Management has determined that it is probable, as of May 31, 2012, that the acquired company will achieve the performance milestones for the vesting of the restricted stock and the put option and has calculated the fair value of the restricted stock and “put” using a Black-Scholes valuation model. In accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, the puttable stock is subject to liability accounting.  At May 31, 2012 and August 31, 2011, the Company recorded a net liability of $196,000 and $52,000 on its balance sheet, respectively.  The Company recorded expense of $40,000 and $52,000 on its consolidated statements of operations associated with the fair value of the restricted stock and put for the three months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  For the nine months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded expense associated with the fair value of the restricted stock and put on its consolidated statements of operations of $107,000 and $52,000, respectively.

GNUCO, LLC d/b/a Emerging Solutions, LLC
 
On August 15, 2011, EGS LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired all of the outstanding membership interests of Emerging for cash, plus equity and the potential right to receive installments of additional cash consideration each year for the next three years if certain performance targets are met.  The equity included in the reported consideration consisted of the fair value of “puttable” restricted common stock of the Company as of August 15, 2011.  The “put” feature embedded in the restricted common stock allows each former shareholder of Emerging a one-time election to put all of their restricted common stock to the Company at a fixed price on the third anniversary of the acquisition date.  However, the exercise of the one-time put option is contingent upon Emerging achieving a certain performance milestone measured over a three-year period.  Management calculated the fair value of the put using a Black-Scholes valuation model.  In accordance with SEC Accounting Series Release No. 268 Presentation in Financial Statements of Redeemable Preferred Stocks, the puttable stock is subject to equity accounting and is classified on the Company’s balance sheet as temporary equity.

In addition, the Company may be required to pay additional variable cash and stock consideration each year for the next three years on the anniversary of closing that is contingent upon the achievement of certain performance milestones.  The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement at the acquisition date was $3.0 million.  The Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration using probability assessments of expected future cash flows over the period in which the obligation is expected to be settled, and applied a discount rate that appropriately captures a market participant’s view of the risk associated with the obligation.  This fair value is based on significant inputs not observable in the market.  As of May 31, 2012, the contingent consideration liability associated with this acquisition was $2.8 million based on valuation models that utilize relevant factors such as expected life and the estimated probabilities of Emerging achieving the performance targets throughout the earnout periods.  The Company recorded income on its consolidated statements of operations of $192,000 and $-0- for the three months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  For the nine months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded income on its consolidated statements of operations of $163,000 and $-0-, respectively.

5.  Stock-Based Compensation

The second amendment to the Company’s 2006 Stock-Based Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2006 Plan”) was approved by the Company’s stockholders on January 20, 2011.  The 2006 Plan authorizes the granting of stock options, restricted stock, deferred stock, stock appreciation rights and other stock-based awards to directors and eligible associates.  The second amendment increased the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the 2006 Plan from 2,543,207 shares to 9,543,207 shares.  Options under the 2006 Plan may not be granted with an exercise price that is less than 100% of the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant (110% in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a stockholder owning more than 10% of the common stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries).  Options under the 2006 Plan have terms from 7 to 10 years.  Certain options vest immediately and others vest over a term of up to 4 to 5 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 over the expected term of the stock options.  The Company also used historical exercise patterns 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.  Since our stock is thinly traded, the stock price used on the date of vesting for the Black-Scholes model is the last trade that occurred.

The Company recognizes compensation expense associated with the issuance of such shares using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Over-the-Counter Pink Sheet market on the date of grant over the vesting period on a straight-line basis.
 
Stock Options and Non-vested Stock
 
Stock-based compensation costs related to the 2006 Plan totaled $52,000 and $104,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $226,000 and $385,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  As of May 31, 2012, the Company had $223,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to the 2006 Plan.  The unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining period of 4 years.

Stock Appreciation Rights

On May 21, 2012, the Company granted Mr. Gregory P. Chandler, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, a stock appreciation right award under the 2006 Plan covering 657,542 shares of the Common Stock, with a per share base price of $1.75 (the “Award”).  The purpose of the Company’s stock appreciation right program, pursuant to which the Award was granted, is to motivate the Company’s management team to substantially increase the value of the Company in a manner that will allow all stockholders to realize such increase in value.  Mr. Chandler’s Award will have no value unless our Common Stock value exceeds $1.75 per share in a liquidity event, which is substantially higher than the trading price of our Common Stock as of the grant date.

Subject to Mr. Chandler’s continued employment with the Company from the grant date through the applicable vesting date, 10% of the Award will become vested on each of August 31, 2012, August 31, 2013, August 31, 2014, August 31, 2015 and August 31, 2016.  The remaining 50% of the Award, as well as any other portion of the Award that is then unvested, will become vested upon the occurrence of a liquidity event if one of the two following conditions is satisfied: (i) Mr. Chandler is employed by the Company on the date of such liquidity event; or (ii) if such liquidity event is a change in control, Mr. Chandler’s employment is terminated without cause or for good reason, in either case, after the date on which a letter of intent relating to the change in control that is binding with respect to exclusivity has been executed and the change in control that is the subject of such letter of intent is consummated within 180 days after the date of such termination of employment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the per share equity value upon the occurrence of a liquidity event is not greater than $1.75, then no portion of the Award shall become vested in connection with such liquidity event and the entire Award (whether or not vested) will be immediately forfeited.  In the event that a liquidity event does not occur on or before August 31, 2017, then the entire Award, whether or not vested, will be immediately forfeited.

To the extent vested, the Award will become exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of a liquidity event.  Upon the exercise of the Award, Mr. Chandler is entitled to receive a number of shares of Common Stock having a fair market value on the date of exercise equal to the product of (x) the difference between the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the date of exercise and the base price and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Award is then being exercised.

 
18

 
 
In the event of Mr. Chandler’s termination of employment for cause, the entire Award, whether or not vested, will be immediately forfeited.  In the event of Mr. Chandler’s termination of employment for any reason other than for cause, the unvested portion of the Award will generally be immediately forfeited and the vested portion of the Award will remain outstanding and, to the extent not then exercisable, will be eligible to become exercisable upon the occurrence of a liquidity event.
 
FASB ASC 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation" prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based payments awarded to employees, including stock appreciation rights.  Under ASC 718, accruals of compensation cost for an award with a performance condition should be based on the probable outcome of that performance condition—compensation cost should be accrued if it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved and should not be accrued if it is not probable that the performance condition will be achieved.  If an award has multiple performance conditions (for example, if the number of options or shares an employee earns varies depending on which, if any, of two or more performance conditions is satisfied), compensation cost should be accrued if it is probable that a performance condition will be satisfied.  In making that assessment, it may be necessary to take into account the interrelationship of those performance conditions.
 
As of May 31, 2012, the Company has not recorded compensation expense associated with Mr. Chandler’s Award as of May 31, 2012.  However, if the Company determines that a liquidity event is probable, compensation expense associated with Mr. Chandler’s Award will be recorded at that time.
 
6.  Warrants

On August 2, 2010, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with DARR Westwood LLC (the “Investor”), pursuant to which, among other things, (a) the Investor agreed (i) to certain transfer restrictions on shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) owned by the Investor, which are described below, and (ii) to transfer to the Company for cancellation the existing warrant owned by the Investor to purchase 8% of the outstanding Common Stock on a fully diluted basis, and (b) the Company issued to the Investor a warrant (the “DARR Warrant”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,401,733 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.11 per share.  The Investor’s sole member is Dinesh R. Desai, the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President.
 
Under the terms of the Letter Agreement, the Investor is prohibited during the specified restricted period from transferring or publicly announcing any intention to transfer, in either case without the unanimous approval of the disinterested members of the Company’s board of directors, (a) all or any portion of the DARR Warrant or the Investor’s rights under the DARR Warrant or (b) any shares of Common Stock currently or in the future owned by the Investor.  However, this prohibition does not apply to any transfer of shares of Common Stock pursuant to which both (x) the transferee is an independent third party and (y) the price paid by the transferee is equal to or greater than $5.00 per share in cash.  The restricted period specified in the Letter Agreement commenced on August 2, 2010 and terminates on the earlier to occur of (a) August 2, 2015 or (b) the date on which both (i) the average of the daily volume weighted average price per share of Common Stock over the immediately preceding 45 trading days that at least one share of Common Stock was traded is $5.00 or more, and (ii) the average daily trading volume of shares of Common Stock over the 45 consecutive trading days (regardless of whether any shares of Common Stock were traded on any such trading day) immediately preceding such date is 10,000 or more.
 
The Letter Agreement also requires that if the Company causes its Common Stock to become listed on a national securities exchange, the Company will also list and maintain the listing of the shares of Common Stock underlying the DARR Warrant on such national securities exchange.  In addition, subject to certain conditions, the Company is required under the Letter Agreement to provide prior notice to the Investor if, at any time before the DARR Warrant has been exercised in full, the Company effects certain specified corporate actions, including selecting a record date for dividends or distributions or effecting a reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up involving the Company.

The DARR Warrant entitles the Investor to purchase 1,401,733 shares of Common Stock at $2.11 per share and expires on August 2, 2015.  The DARR Warrant also contains provisions for cashless exercise and weighted average anti-dilution protection for subsequent issuances or deemed issuances of Common Stock by the Company for consideration per share less than the per share exercise price of the DARR Warrant in effect immediately prior to such issuance or deemed issuance.  In connection with the issuance of the DARR Warrant and in compliance with ASC Topic 815 Derivatives and Hedging, the Company recorded a liability on August 2, 2010 of $916,000.  At May 31, 2012 and August 31, 2011, the liability related to the DARR Warrant recorded on the Company’s balance sheet was $1.0 million and $732,000, respectively.  The Company recorded (income) expense on its consolidated statements of operations of $105,000 and $(49,000) for the three months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $283,000 and $(478,000) for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, as a result of adjusting the warrant liability to fair value.  Because the Company’s stock is thinly traded, there may continue to be adjustments associated with determining the fair value of the liability related to the DARR Warrant in future periods.
 
NewSpring
 
In connection with the entry into a Subordinated Credit Facility with NewSpring SBIC Mezzanine Capital II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“NewSpring”), which is described in more detail in Note 8 – Subordinated Debt below, on August 15, 2011 the Company issued to NewSpring a Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “NewSpring Warrant”) to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock equal to 5.0% of the Common Stock outstanding at the time of, and after giving effect to, the exercise of the NewSpringWarrant.  On December 30, 2011, in connection with the entry into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement with PNC Bank and Peachtree II, L.P. (“Peachtree”) becoming a lender under the Subordinated Credit Facility, the Company amended and restated the NewSpring Warrant (as so amended and restated, the “Amended and Restated NewSpring Warrant”) and granted a warrant (the “Peachtree Warrant,” and together with the Amended and Restated NewSpring Warrant, the “Warrants”) to Peachtree.
 
In connection with the issuance of the NewSpring Warrant and in compliance with ASC Topic 470-20 Debt with Conversion and Other Options, the subordinated note issued to NewSpring under the Subordinated Loan Agreement (as defined below) has been discounted by the fair value of the NewSpring Warrant, calculated to be $484,000 at time of issuance.  This amount is being amortized as additional interest expense and accretes the note to face value on the Company’s balance sheet at maturity.  The Company determined the fair value of the NewSpring Warrant by using the Black-Scholes pricing model.  At May 31, 2012 and August 31, 2011, the liability recorded on the Company’s balance sheet was $972,000 and $719,000, respectively.  The Company recorded expense on its consolidated statements of operations of $153,000 and $-0- for the three months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $255,000 and $-0- for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, as a result of adjusting the warrant liability to fair value.  Because the Company’s stock is thinly traded, there may continue to be adjustments associated with determining the fair value of the liability related to the NewSpring Warrant in future periods.
 
Peachtree
 
In connection with the Amended and Restated Subordinated Credit Facility (as defined below), on December 30, 2011, the Registrant issued to Peachtree the Peachtree Warrant, which allows Peachtree to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock equal to 1.5% of the Common Stock outstanding at the time of, and after giving effect to, the exercise of the Peachtree Warrant (based on the “treasury stock method”) in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles applicable in the United States of America and determined using the same principles, assumptions and estimates that are used by the Company in the preparation of its financial statements and assuming the exercise or conversion of all securities that are directly or indirectly exercisable for or convertible into Common Stock). The exercise price for the Common Stock is $0.01 per share, which may be paid through a cashless exercise.  The Peachtree Warrant expires on December 30, 2021.

In connection with the issuance of the Peachtree Warrant and in compliance with ASC Topic 470-20 Debt with Conversion and Other Options, the subordinated note issued to Peachtree under the Subordinated Loan Agreement (as defined below) has been discounted by the fair value of the Peachtree Warrant, calculated to be $73,000 at time of issuance.  This amount is being amortized as additional interest expense and accretes the note to face value on the Company’s balance sheet at maturity.  The Company determined the fair value of the Peachtree Warrant by using the Black-Scholes pricing model.  At May 31, 2012 and August 31, 2011, the liability recorded on the Company’s balance sheet was $292,000 and $-0-, respectively.  The Company recorded expense on its consolidated statements of operations of $46,000 and $-0- for the three months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $219,000 and $-0- for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, as a result of adjusting the warrant liability to fair value.  Because the Company’s stock is thinly traded, there may continue to be adjustments associated with determining the fair value of the liability related to the Peachtree Warrant in future periods.

On December 30, 2011, Emtec NJ, Emtec LLC, Emtec Federal, EGS LLC, Luceo, eBAS, Aveeva, EIS-US, KOAN-IT US, SDI, Dinero, Covelix and Emerging. (collectively the “Borrower”) entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the “PNC Loan Agreement”) with PNC Bank, National Association, as lender and agent (“PNC”).  The PNC Loan Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility in an amount not to exceed (i) $30.0 million for the period from February 1 through August 31 each year during the term of the facility and (ii) $45.0 million for the period from September 1 through January 31 each year during the term of the facility (the “PNC Credit Facility”).  The PNC Credit Facility also includes a $7.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit.  The proceeds of the PNC Credit Facility were used to refinance all of the Borrower’s outstanding indebtedness under a Loan and Security Agreement with De Lage Landen Financial Services, Inc. (“DLL”) pursuant to which DLL provided a revolving credit loan and floorplan loan (the “DLL Credit Facility”), to pay off all indebtedness under a Loan Agreement with De Lage Landen Financial Services Canada Inc.

The PNC Loan Agreement also contains certain customary representations and warranties and events of default, including, among other things, failure to pay interest, principal or fees due under the PNC Loan Agreement, any material inaccuracy of any representation and warranty, any default having occurred under any Subordinated Debt (as such term is defined in the PNC Loan Agreement), and the occurrence of bankruptcy or other insolvency events.  Certain of the events of default are subject to exceptions and materiality qualifiers.  If an event of default shall occur and be continuing under the PNC Loan Agreement, PNC may, among other things, accelerate the repayment of the Borrower’s obligations under the PNC Credit Facility.
 
To secure the payment of the obligations under the PNC Loan Agreement, the Borrower granted to PNC a security interest in, and a lien upon, all of its respective interests in its respective assets, including receivables, equipment, general intangibles, inventory, investment property, subsidiary stock, leasehold interests, goods, deposit accounts, letter of credit rights, commercial tort claims and insurance proceeds.  All such security interests are subject to the terms of a Subordination Agreement, dated December 30, 2011 among PNC, NewSpring, Peachtree (NewSpring and Peachtree, collectively, the “Investors”) and the Borrower, as amended on March 20, 2012 (the “Subordination Agreement”).
 
On March 20, 2012, the Borrower and EIS Canada entered into a First Amendment and Joinder to Loan Documents (the “First Amendment”) with PNC, pursuant to which PNC agreed to make certain amendments to the PNC Loan Agreement and the Other Documents (as such term is defined in the PNC Loan Agreement and together with the PNC Loan Agreement, the “PNC Loan Documents”), including (1) joining EIS Canada to the PNC Loan Documents, (2) amending the definition of EBITDA to revise certain add-backs and deductions thereto and (3) revising the covenants and representations and warranties included in the PNC Loan Agreement to include certain customary covenants and representations and warranties relating to EIS Canada.

8. Subordinated Debt
 
On August 15, 2011, the Borrower entered into a Subordinated Loan Agreement (the “Subordinated Loan Agreement”) with NewSpring.  The Subordinated Loan Agreement provided for a subordinated term loan in an original principal amount of $10.0 million (the “Subordinated Credit Facility”).  The proceeds of the Subordinated Credit Facility were used to pay a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of Emerging, to pay down a portion of the amount outstanding under the DLL Credit Facility and to pay related costs and expenses.  Borrowings under the Subordinated Loan Agreement will bear regular interest at a rate equal to 12.0% per annum on the outstanding principal amount.  Accrued and unpaid regular interest is payable on the last business day of each fiscal quarter beginning with November 30, 2011.  Borrowings under the Subordinated Loan Agreement will bear additional interest at a rate equal to 2.0% per annum and this accrued and unpaid additional interest of 2.0% can be, at the Borrower’s option, paid in cash, or added to the principal amount outstanding on the last business day of each fiscal quarter beginning with November 30, 2011.
 
On December 30, 2011, the Borrower entered into an Amended and Restated Subordinated Loan Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Subordinated Loan Agreement”) with the Investors pursuant to which: (i) Peachtree provided an additional subordinated term loan in an original principal amount of $3.0 million (together with the existing subordinated term loan from NewSpring in the original principal amount of $10.0 million, the “Amended and Restated Subordinated Credit Facility”), (ii) NewSpring was appointed as collateral agent, (iii) the Investors waived any event of default arising from (a) the Borrower failing to meet the Total Funded Senior Debt to Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA Ratio covenant (as set forth in the Subordinated Loan Agreement) for the trailing twelve months ending November 30, 2011 and (b) the Borrower failing to comply with the covenant in the Subordinated Loan Agreement prohibiting a Borrower name change without notice to, or the consent of, NewSpring, and (iv) the Investors agreed to make certain other amendments to the Subordinated Loan Agreement, including amending the Total Funded Senior Debt to Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA Ratio covenant to provide that the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries shall maintain as of the last business day of the fiscal quarters ending on February 28, 2012 and May 31, 2012, a ratio of Total Funded Senior Debt on such date to Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA (as such terms are defined in the Amended and Restated Subordinated Loan Agreement) on a trailing twelve months basis for such period of not less 4.0 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ending on February 28, 2012 and of not less than 3.75 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ending on May 31, 2012.

The Amended and Restated Subordinated Loan Agreement also contains certain customary representations and warranties and events of default, including, among other things, failure to pay interest, principal or fees due under the Amended and Restated Subordinated Loan Agreement, any material inaccuracy of any representation and warranty, any default having occurred under any Senior Debt (as such term is defined in the Amended and Restated Subordinated Loan Agreement), and the occurrence of bankruptcy or other insolvency events.  Certain of the events of default are subject to exceptions and materiality qualifiers.  If an event of default shall occur and be continuing under the Amended and Restated Subordinated Loan Agreement, the Investors may, among other things, accelerate the maturity of the Amended and Restated Subordinated Credit Facility.

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, 2011 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.

Consolidated Results of Operations Overview
 
Management examines numerous measures when analyzing the results of our operations.  Our objective is to grow the overall revenues, gross profit margins and operating profits of the Company.
 
As we diversify our business and grow our consulting and outsourcing services revenues, and in particular our applications services revenues, we expect gross margins to increase.  However, due to changes in types of services, we may occasionally see a decline in our services gross margin, which may lead to a decline in our overall gross margin.
 
We measure our selling costs as a percentage of gross profits, and commissions compensation for our sales associates is calculated based on gross profit.  We expect that our growth will lead to selling costs increasing, but as our revenues grow, we expect our selling costs to grow less quickly than our gross profit, thereby decreasing selling costs as a percentage of total gross profits.  As we grow, we expect that our general and administrative costs will decrease as a percentage of revenue.  In the past, we have invested, from time to time, in additional general and administrative costs in order to be able to grow our revenue more quickly based on market conditions.  In addition, we may experience an increase in our overall selling, general and administrative costs prior to being able to reduce some of the costs (for example, after an acquisition, we may not experience overhead synergies immediately).
 
As we grow our consulting and outsourcing revenues, we expect to focus increasingly on measures such as average billing rates, utilization rates, hours billed and hourly consulting costs.  While we do not publicly report these metrics, we analyze these figures to monitor trends that will enable us to make more effective decisions.  We are improving our internal systems (including our ERP implementation during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011) in order to be able to provide these metrics more quickly to our management.
 
We currently categorize our revenues and costs of sales into “Procurement Services” and “Consulting and Outsourcing.” We have made these categorizations in order to analyze our growth in IT professional services as a percentage of overall revenues.  We have divided our business into two segments: Emtec Systems Integration (“ESI”) and Emtec Global Sourcing (“EGS”).  ESI provides clients with a wide variety of services including outsourced consulting application services and infrastructure consulting and outsourcing.  EGS provides clients the opportunity to take advantage of our consulting resources when they are not specifically looking for us to manage their project.
 
For the three months ended May 31, 2012 compared with the three months ended May 31, 2011, total revenues increased by $5.8 million or 13.0% to $50.7 million.  This increase was comprised of a $6.5 million increase in consulting and outsourcing revenue offset by a $726,000 decrease in procurement services revenue.  Further, total gross profit increased by $1.3 million and overall gross profit margin increased from 17.4% for the three months ended May 31, 2011 to 17.9% for the three months ended May 31, 2012.  The increases in consulting and outsourcing revenue and gross profit are consistent with our strategy of shifting towards services that generate higher margin revenue.  Additionally, the increased total gross profit helped to reduce our operating loss by $747,000 to $422,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2012 as compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended May 31, 2011.  There are several non-cash expenses included in our operating costs.  These include depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expenses and mark-to-market adjustments for certain stock based and acquisition based liabilities for the three months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011 which total $1.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively.   Excluding non-cash items, the improvement in our business is the result of several factors including an improvement in revenues from our Education Business, improved margins and lower selling costs in our Federal Business, and a cost-cutting initiative undertaken by the Company in 2011 with projected annual savings of approximately $4.5 million.  In addition, our capital expenditures for the three months ended May 31, 2012 decreased $1.4 million from $1.6 million for the three months ended May 31, 2012 to $164,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2012.  The increase in capital expenditures during the three months ended May 31, 2011 related to the Company’s ERP implementation during the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2011.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended May 31, 2012 and 2011 – ESI
 
Revenues - ESI
 
Our ESI division’s total revenues increased $7.8 million, or 21.0%, to $44.9 million for the three months ended May 31, 2012, compared to $37.1 million for the three months ended May 31, 2011.  The increase in ESI revenue is primarily a result of increased consulting and outsourcing revenue, which was partially offset by a decrease in procurement services revenue.  Without the impact of the acquisition of Emerging on August 15, 2011, ESI’s revenue would have been $37.1 million for both of the three months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011.

Procurement services revenue decreased $726,000, or 2.9%, to $23.9 million for the three months ended May 31, 2012, compared to $24.7 million for the three months ended May 31, 2011.  We believe that the majority of this decline can be attributed to our Canadian clients delaying their purchase of new software as a result of the software provider’s plans to release a new version of the product later this year.  We expect our clients to purchase the new version of the software once it is released.  In addition, we experienced some decline in purchasing by our education clients that was caused by a delay in projects that resumed during May 2012 and that we anticipate will continue through the rest of fiscal 2012.  We also experienced declines in procurement purchases from our commercial and state and local clients as we have deemphasized sales to smaller clients in these sectors in order to reduce overhead costs associated with large volumes of small dollar orders.  However, these declines were offset by an approximately $2.8 million increase in our Federal procurement sales.  Furthermore, we are not experiencing the budgetary issues related to our federal government clients that we faced during the quarter ended May 31, 2011.
 
Consulting and outsourcing revenue increased $8.5 million, or 68.2%, to $21.0 million for the three months ended May 31, 2012, compared to $12.5 million for the three months ended May 31, 2011.  Approximately $7.8 million of this increase is primarily attributable to the impact of the Emerging acquisition.  In addition, our legacy commercial business revenue increased $1.3 million from the same period in the prior year as a result of two new long-term outsourcing contracts that started in the first quarter of our 2011 fiscal year.  Further, several ongoing state and local projects provided higher revenue than in fiscal 2011.  These increases were offset by project delays at one of our education clients.  However, as discussed above, the education projects resumed in May of 2012.
 
Our ESI division’s revenues, by client type, are comprised of the following (in thousands):

Total Revenues
  $ 44,924       100.0 %   $ 37,136       100.0 %
 
During the quarters ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, U.S. governmental department and agency related revenues represented approximately 31.9% and 32.4% of total ESI revenues, respectively.  Revenues are diversified over a number of U.S. governmental departments and agencies.  Revenues from civilian and military U.S. governmental departments and agencies increased by approximately $2.3 million, or 18.9%, to $14.3 million during the three months ended May 31, 2012, compared to $12.0 million for the three months ended May 31, 2011.  The increase is related to a resumption of spending during the current quarter versus the same quarter in 2011 when the Federal government was under a budget impasse.
 
During the quarters ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, revenues from commercial clients represented approximately 34.8% and 18.7% of total ESI revenues, respectively.  This increase is primarily related to the impact of the Emerging acquisition as well as several new multiyear contracts that the Company won in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
 
 
33

 
 
During the three months ended May 31, 2012, revenues from education clients decreased by approximately $1.8 million compared with the three months ended May 31, 2011.  This decrease can be attributed to timing delays from our education clients as discussed previously.

Gross profit - ESI
 
Aggregate gross profit for our ESI division increased $1.7 million, or 26.0%, to $8.4 million for the three months ended May 31, 2012 as compared to $6.7 million for the three months ended May 31, 2011.  Procurement services gross profit increased by $479,000 from the same period in the prior year.  This increase was due primarily to higher margin procurement services revenue that came substantially from our Federal clients and was partially offset by the decline in procurement services revenue described above.  Consulting and outsourcing gross profit increased by approximately $1.3 million from the same period in the prior year.  The increase in gross profit is due to the Emerging acquisition, the commercial outsourcing contracts and the new state and local projects.  However, this increase was partially offset the delays in our education projects as discussed above.
 
Measured as a percentage of revenues, the gross profit margin for our ESI division increased to 18.7% of our ESI division’s revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2012 from 17.9% for the three months ended May 31, 2011.  This increase can be attributed to a shift by the Company to consulting and outsourcing projects.  The decline in the gross margin for consulting and outsourcing from 32.0% to 25.0% is largely attributable to under-utilized personnel in our education business due to the timing delays in new projects discussed above, and a change in the mix of services we provide.

Selling, general and administrative expenses -ESI
 
Corporate expenses are primarily recorded in our ESI segment.  Selling, general and administrative expenses for our ESI division increased by $265,000, or 3.8%, to $7.2 million for the three months ended May 31, 2012, compared to $6.9 million for the three months ended May 31, 2011.  During the three months ended May 31, 2012, the Company expensed performance and retention bonuses to former owners of acquired businesses in the amount of $214,000.

Excluding the effect of the acquisition of Emerging and the acquisition related performance and retention bonuses described above, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $1.7 million as a result of the expense reduction initiative implemented in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 and other ongoing cost reduction initiatives during fiscal 2012.

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation for our ESI division decreased by $51,000, or 35.4%, to $93,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2012, compared to $144,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2011.  This expense relates to shares that have been awarded to management as a portion of their compensation that vested over the period.  The decrease can be attributed to fewer shares vesting for the three months ended May 31, 2012 as compared to the three months ended May 31, 2011.

 
34

 
 
Warrant liability adjustment
 
Warrant liability adjustment for our ESI division was a charge of $304,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2012 as compared to a credit of $49,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2011.  This adjustment relates to the stock warrants issued to our majority stockholder in August 2010 as well as the stock warrants issued in connection with the subordinated debt financings in August and December 2011. These warrants are “marked-to-market” each reporting period, which can result in fluctuations in income or expense in future periods related to this non-cash item.

Earnout liability adjustment
 
Earnout liability adjustment for our ESI division was a credit of $22,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2012 as compared to a charge of $-0- for the three months ended May 31, 2011.  This expense relates to the contingent earnout liabilities associated with our fiscal 2011 and 2010 acquisitions. These earnout liabilities are adjusted each reporting period based on valuation models that utilize relevant factors such as expected life and the estimated probabilities of the acquisitions achieving the performance targets throughout the earnout periods.

Depreciation and amortization - ESI

Depreciation and amortization expense for our ESI division increased by 76.1%, or $472,000, to $1.1 million for the three months ended May 31, 2012, compared to $620,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2011.  The increase for the three months ended May 31, 2012 is attributable to the amortization of intangible assets in connection with the Emerging acquisition and the depreciation associated with the Company’s new ERP system that was installed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.

Operating loss – ESI

The operating loss for our ESI division for the three months ended May 31, 2012 decreased by $718,000, to an operating loss of $279,000, compared to an operating loss of $997,000 for the quarter ended May 31, 2011.  This decrease in operating loss is mainly attributable to the increased total gross profit described above and partially offset by the increases in depreciation and amortization and the warrant liability adjustment  also described above.  There are several non-cash expenses included in our operating costs.  These non-cash expenses include depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expenses and mark-to-market adjustments for certain stock based and acquisition based liabilities and, for the three months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, total $1.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

Interest expense - ESI

Interest expense for the ESI division increased $576,000 to $703,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2012, compared to $127,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2011.  This increase is attributable to interest on our subordinated debt and increased borrowings on our credit facility.

Income tax benefit - ESI

We recorded an income tax benefit of $166,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2012 as compared to a benefit of $480,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2011. The effective benefit rate was 18.0% for the three months ended May 31, 2012 as compared to 43.0% for the three months ended May 31, 2011. The lower effective benefit rate for the three months ended May 31, 2012 was primarily the result of the warrant liability adjustment (expense of $304,000) that is a permanent difference for tax purposes as well as other permanent differences related to certain expenses including meals and entertainment.

Our business model in EGS is currently being refined.  Previously, the organization operated by training consultants and staffing them with various clients, or recruiting consultants and placing them at various clients.  We changed the model during fiscal 2011 so that the consultants are now a pool of resources for our existing clients across the organization.  We will sell our services across the vertical sectors that will allow our clients to choose whether to engage us on a project, retain one of our consultants on their projects or use our offshore resources to meet their needs.  During this transition, we will continue to place some of our consultants with clients using the historical model in order to ensure they are utilized.  However, we intend to reduce our dependence on intermediary staffing vendors and increase our direct sales to our clients.  Therefore, since these consultants are being placed directly with our clients, revenues would be recorded in our other segment, ESI.  For example, on one of our projects we are using consultants from the EGS division.  Historically, this revenue would be recorded in EGS, but now it will be recorded as an ESI commercial client.  The only revenue which will remain with EGS is that revenue associated with selling our services through third parties which is lower margin business and which we expect will decline over time.  Accordingly, making revenue and gross profit comparisons related to EGS between pre-transition and post-transition years may be difficult given the changes in which segment revenue is recorded.

The following discussion and analysis provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our Results of Operations for EGS for the three months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended May 31, 2012 and 2011 - EGS
 
Revenues - EGS
 
EGS revenue consists of its ERP and Application Development practice and its Business Analysis and Quality Assurance practice.  Our EGS division’s total revenues decreased approximately $1.9 million, or 25.2%, to $5.8 million for the three months ended May 31, 2012, compared to $7.7 million for the three months ended May 31, 2011.  This decrease is related to the changes in our business model as previously discussed.

Gross profit - EGS
 
Our EGS division’s gross profit decreased $482,000, or 42.1%, to $664,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2012, compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended May 31, 2011.  We believe this decrease is related to the revenue decrease discussed above as well as a change in the consultants’ compensation plan that the Company decided to implement in conjunction with the change in the business model also discussed above.

Measured as percentages of revenues, the gross profit margin for our EGS division decreased to 11.5% of our EGS division’s revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2012 from 14.8% for the three months ended May 31, 2011.  We believe this decrease is mainly due to the increases in salaries and benefits related to our consultants in connection with a change to their compensation plan during the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

Selling, general and administrative expenses - EGS

Our EGS division’s selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $497,000, or 45.9%, to $585,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2012, compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended May 31, 2011.  The decrease is primarily related to the cost reduction program undertaken by the Company during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 and the structural changes described above.

Depreciation and amortization - EGS

EGS division’s depreciation and amortization expense decreased $14,000, or 5.9%, to $222,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2012, compared to $236,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2011.  The decrease is the result of certain fixed assets being fully depreciated.

Operating loss - EGS

The operating loss for our EGS division for the three months ended May 31, 2012 was $143,000, compared to an operating loss of $172,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2011.  This decrease in operating loss is mainly due to a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses discussed above.
 
Interest expense - EGS

Interest expense for our EGS division for the three months ended May 31, 2012 increased by 154.4%, or $88,000, to $145,000 compared to interest expense of $57,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2011.  This increase is attributable to interest on our subordinated debt and increased borrowings on our credit facility.

Income Tax Benefit -EGS
 
We recorded an income tax benefit of $115,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2012, compared to income tax benefit of $52,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2011. The effective tax benefit rate was 40.0% for the three months ended May 31, 2012, compared to tax benefit rate of 23.0% for the three months ended May 31, 2011.   The lower effective tax benefit rate for the three months ended May 31, 2011 can be attributed to the inclusion of inter-segment expenses that are eliminated in consolidation.

Comparison of the Nine months Ended May 31, 2012 and 2011 - ESI
 
Revenues - ESI
 
Our ESI division’s total revenues increased $5.4 million, or 3.7%, to $151.0 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2012, compared to $145.6 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2011.  The increase in ESI revenue was primarily a result of an increase in consulting and outsourcing revenue, substantially offset by a decrease in procurement services revenue.  Without the impact of the fiscal 2011 acquisitions of Dinero (acquired on February 3, 2011), Covelix (acquired on March 1, 2011), and Emerging (acquired on August 15, 2011), ESI’s revenue would have decreased $19.6 million, or 13.6%, to $124 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2012, compared to $143.6 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2011. The majority of this decrease can be attributed to timing delays from our education clients partially offset by new commercial outsourcing contracts and new state and local projects.

Procurement services revenue decreased $20.5 million, or 18.1%, to $92.9 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2012, compared to $113.4 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2011.  The majority of the procurement services revenue decline can be attributed to timing delays from our education clients.
 
Consulting and outsourcing revenue increased $25.8 million, or 80.1%, to $58.1 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2012, compared to $32.3 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2011.  This increase is primarily attributable to the fiscal 2011 acquisitions and an increase in new commercial outsourcing contracts and new state and local projects partially offset by a decline in revenue from our education clients.
 
Our ESI division’s revenues, by client type, are comprised of the following (in thousands):

Departments of the U.S. Government

Total Revenues
  $ 150,998       100.0 %   $ 145,648       100.0 %
 
During the nine months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, U.S. governmental department and agency related revenues represented approximately 48.9% and 49.5% of total ESI revenues, respectively.  Revenues are diversified over a number of U.S. governmental departments and agencies.  Revenues from civilian and military U.S. governmental departments and agencies for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 increased by $1.7 million or 2.4% to $73.8 million as compared to $72.1 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2011.
 
During the nine months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, revenues from commercial clients represented approximately 29.1% and 12.8% of total ESI revenues, respectively.  This increase is primarily related to the fiscal 2011 acquisitions as well as several new multiyear contracts that the Company won in the first quarter.
 
During the nine months ended May 31, 2012, revenues from our education business decreased by approximately $21.4 million compared with the nine months ended May 31, 2011.  This decrease can be attributed to timing delays from our education clients.

Gross profit – ESI
 
Aggregate gross profit for our ESI division increased $3.8 million, or 16.8%, to $26.1 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 as compared to $22.3 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2011.  Procurement services gross profit remained consistent between the two periods.  However, consulting and outsourcing gross profit increased by approximately $3.6 million.  Our fiscal 2011 acquisitions, new commercial outsourcing contracts and new state and local projects provided the majority of the increase in consulting and outsourcing gross profit, though this increase was offset in part by under-utilized personnel in our education business due to the timing delays in new projects discussed above.
 
 
41

 
 
Measured as a percentage of revenues, the gross profit margin for our ESI division increased to 17.3% of our ESI division’s revenues for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 from 15.3% for the nine months ended May 31, 2011.  This increase can be attributed to a shift by the Company to consulting and outsourcing projects and higher gross margins in our procurement business partially offset by lower margins in our consulting and outsourcing business (mainly due to under-utilized personnel in our education business).

Selling, general and administrative expenses - ESI
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses for our ESI division increased by $1.9 million, or 9.1%, to $23.0 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2012, compared to $21.0 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2011. During the nine months ended May 31, 2012, the Company expensed performance and retention bonuses to former owners of acquired businesses in the amount of $542,000.

Excluding the effect of the acquisitions of Dinero, Covelix, and Emerging as well as the performance and retention bonuses discussed above, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $3.5 million as a result of the expense reduction initiative implemented in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 and other ongoing cost reduction initiatives during fiscal 2012.  Corporate expenses are primarily recorded in our ESI segment

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation for our ESI division decreased by $105,000, or 24.0%, to $332,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2012, compared to $437,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2011.  This expense relates to shares that have been awarded to management as a portion of their compensation that vested over the period.  The decrease can be attributed to fewer shares vesting for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended May 31, 2011.

Warrant liability adjustment
 
Warrant liability adjustment for our ESI division was a charge of $755,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 as compared to a credit of $478,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2011.  This adjustment relates to the stock warrants issued to our majority stockholder in August 2010 as well as the stock warrants issued in connection with the subordinated debt financings in August and December 2011.  These warrants are “marked-to-market” each reporting period, which can result in fluctuations in income or expense in future periods related to this non-cash credit or charge.

 
42

 
 
Earnout liability adjustment
 
Earnout liability adjustment for our ESI division was a charge of $434,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 as compared to a charge of $-0- for the nine months ended May 31, 2011.  This expense relates to the contingent earnout liabilities associated with the fiscal 2011 acquisitions. These earnout liabilities are adjusted each reporting period based on valuation models that utilize relevant factors such as expected life and the estimated probabilities of the acquisitions achieving the performance targets throughout the earnout periods.

Depreciation and amortization - ESI

Depreciation and amortization expense for our ESI division increased by 107.4%, or $1.7 million, to $3.3 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2012, compared to $1.6 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2011.  The increase for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 is attributable to the amortization of intangible assets in connection with the fiscal 2011 acquisitions and the depreciation associated with the Company’s new ERP system, which was installed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.

Operating loss - ESI

The operating loss for our ESI division for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 increased by $1.4 million, to a loss of $1.7 million, compared to an operating loss of $284,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2011.  This increase in operating loss is mainly attributable to increases described above in selling, general and administrative costs, warrant liability adjustment, earnout liability adjustment, depreciation and amortization.

There are several non-cash expenses included in our operating costs.  These non-cash expenses include depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expenses and mark-to-market adjustments for certain stock based and acquisition based liabilities and, for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, total $4.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

Interest expense - ESI

Interest expense for the ESI division increased by $1.9 million to $2.2 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2012, compared to $358,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2011.  This increase is attributable to interest on our subordinated debt and increased borrowings on our credit facility.

We recorded an income tax benefit of $1.0 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 as compared to an income tax benefit of $398,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2011.  The effective benefit rate was 27.0% for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 as compared to an effective tax rate of 61.7% for the nine months ended May 31, 2011.  The effective tax rate for both periods are impacted by the warrant liability adjustment which is a permanent tax difference.  If the warrant liability adjustment was excluded, the effective tax rate for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011 would have been 33.6% and 35.4%, respectively.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended May 31, 2012 and 2011 - EGS
 
Revenues - EGS
 
EGS revenue consists of its ERP and Application Development practice and its Business Analysis and Quality Assurance practice.  Our EGS division’s total revenues decreased approximately $2.8 million, or 12.4%, to $19.5 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2012, compared to $22.2 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2011.  This decrease is related to the changes in our business model previously discussed.

Gross profit - EGS
 
Our EGS division’s gross profit decreased $1.4 million, or 36.4%, to $2.4 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2012, compared to $3.8 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2011.  We believe this decrease is related to the revenue decrease discussed above as well as a change in the consultants’ compensation plan that the Company decided to implement in conjunction with the change in the business model also discussed above.

Measured as percentages of revenues, the gross profit margin for our EGS division decreased to 12.4% of our EGS division’s revenues for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 from 17.0% for the nine months ended May 31, 2011.  We believe this decrease is mainly due to the increases in salaries and benefits related to our consultants in connection with a change to their compensation plan during the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

Selling, general and administrative expenses - EGS

Our EGS division’s selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.1 million, or 34.0%, to $2.1 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2012, compared to $3.2 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2011.  The decrease is primarily related to the cost reduction program undertaken by the Company during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 as well as the structural changes described above.

Depreciation and amortization - EGS

EGS division’s depreciation and amortization expense decreased $22,000, or 3.2%, to $672,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2012, compared to $694,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2011.  The decrease is the result of certain fixed assets being fully depreciated.

Operating loss - EGS

The operating loss for our EGS division for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 was $345,000, compared to an operating loss of $63,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2011.  This increase in operating loss is mainly due to the decrease in revenue described above partially offset by a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses also discussed above.
 
Interest expense - EGS

Interest expense for our EGS division for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 increased by 62.6%, or $102,000, to $265,000 compared to interest expense of $163,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2011.  This increase is attributable to interest on our subordinated debt and increased borrowings on our credit facility.

Income tax expense (benefit) – EGS

We recorded an income tax benefit of $170,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 as compared to an income tax expense of $43,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2011.  For the nine months ended May 31, 2011, we had pre-tax loss of $223,000, yet had tax expense of $43,000 that was primarily the result of the inclusion of inter-segment expenses that were eliminated in consolidation.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Intangibles – Goodwill and Other

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts.  ASU 2010-28 modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts.  For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists.  In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity must consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating an impairment may exist.  ASU 2010-28 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning December 15, 2010.  The adoption of this ASU has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operation or cash flows.

Business Combinations

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations.  ASU 2010-29 requires that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only.  This ASU also expands the supplemental pro forma adjustments to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings.  ASU 2010-29 is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010.  The adoption of this guidance, which will be applied to future acquisitions, will expand existing disclosure requirements.

Fair Value Measurement

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS.  ASU 2011-04 sets forth common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards.  ASU 2011-04 is effective prospectively.  For public entities, ASU 2011-04 is effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Comprehensive Income

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income.  ASU 2011-05 states that an entity has 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.  In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income.  This ASU eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity.  ASU 2011-05 is effective retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods with those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 
46

 
 
Intangibles – Goodwill and Other

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment.  ASU 2011-08 permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in ASC Topic 350.  The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent.  ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued.  The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.  ASU 2011-11 requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position.  ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods.  The adoption of this guidance may expand existing disclosure requirements, which the Company is currently evaluating.
 
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
The Company has incurred significant operating losses for fiscal 2011 as well as for the nine months ended May 31, 2012.  In addition, the Company had a working capital deficit at August 31, 2011 and May 31, 2012, and is dependent on its line of credit to finance working capital needs.  The 2011 loss can be attributed primarily to reduced procurement revenues from the federal business associated with the federal debt and budget crisis in 2011 and certain non-cash charges including a warrant liability adjustment and an earnout liability adjustment.  We believe the operating loss for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 was primarily related to timing delays with one of our education clients due to budgetary issues.  We have managed our liquidity during this time through a cost reduction initiative that we implemented in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 and which is continuing into fiscal year 2012, as well as borrowings under our credit facility.

The U.S. government agencies we service have been slow in making payments of our procurement sales.  This delay in payments has caused the Company to experience large working capital fluctuations during the periods of peak government deliveries, and increased working capital requirements during these periods.  As a result, at times, we need to pay our vendors more quickly than we receive payments from the government, which leads to increases in our borrowing under the line of credit and a decline in liquidity.  Management has taken steps to improve the liquidity by increasing the long-term borrowings over short-term borrowings.  We obtained subordinated financing of $10 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, of which $2 million was used to pay down short-term borrowings under the line of credit.  We also obtained subordinated financing of $3 million in December 2011, of which $2.5 million was used to pay down the line of credit.  In addition, management is taking further steps to improve the collection process with the government clients, however there can be no guarantee the efforts will be successful.  In addition, the fiscal 2011 loss can be attributed primarily to reduced procurement revenues from the federal business associated with the federal debt and budget crisis in 2011.

 
47

 
 
The Company believes that its existing resources together with available borrowings under its credit facility, the annualized cost savings from the cost reduction initiative described above, and expected cash flow from operations will provide sufficient liquidity for at least the next 12 months.

Net cash generated by operations was $84,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 as compared to net cash generated by operations of $5.7 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2011.  Although we generated a significant net loss for the nine months ended May 31, 2012, for purposes of cash flow, the net loss was partially offset by decreased accounts receivable at May 31, 2012.  In addition, non-cash expenses including depreciation and amortization, deferred income tax benefit, stock-based compensation, earnout liability adjustment and warrant liability adjustment were $4.2 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 as compared to $2.3 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2011.  This increase can be attributed to amortization expense associated with identifiable intangible assets from the 2011 acquisitions and the warrant liability adjustment.

Purchases of property and equipment for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011 were $692,000 and $2.3 million, respectively.  The decrease in purchases for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 are primarily related to the purchase and installation of the Company’s new ERP during the third quarter of fiscal 2011.
 
Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011 was $677,000 and $1.6 million, respectively.  The decrease in net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 included repayments of $3.5 million on the Company’s credit facility that were partially offset by proceeds of $3.0 million associated with the issuance of the subordinated debt financing in December 2011.

We are a net borrower; consequently, we believe our cash balance must be viewed along with the available balance on our line of credit.  Cash at May 31, 2012 of $2.0 million represented a decrease of approximately $2.0 million from cash of $4.0 million at August 31, 2011.

Credit Facility

On December 30, 2011, Emtec NJ, Emtec LLC, Emtec Federal, EGS LLC, Luceo, eBAS, Aveeva, EIS-US, KOAN-IT US, SDI, Dinero, Covelix and Emerging. (collectively the “Borrower”) entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the “PNC Loan Agreement”) with PNC Bank, National Association, as lender and agent (“PNC”).  The PNC Loan Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility in an amount not to exceed (i) $30.0 million for period from February 1 through August 31 each year during the term of the facility and (ii) $45.0 million for the period from September 1 through January 31 each year during the term of the facility (the “PNC Credit Facility”).  The PNC Credit Facility also includes a $7.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit.  The proceeds of the PNC Credit Facility were used to refinance all of the Borrower’s outstanding indebtedness under a Loan and Security Agreement with De Lage Landen Financial Services, Inc. (“DLL”) pursuant to which DLL provided a revolving credit loan and floorplan loan (the “DLL Credit Facility”), to pay off all indebtedness under a Loan Agreement with De Lage Landen Financial Services Canada Inc. (“DLL Canada”) pursuant to which DLL Canada provided EIS-Canada with a revolving credit line of C$5 million (the “Canadian Credit Facility”), to pay related costs and expenses and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.  The PNC Loan Agreement will remain in effect until December 29, 2014, unless sooner terminated by the Borrower or PNC.
 
 
48

 
 
On March 20, 2012, the Borrower and EIS Canada entered into a First Amendment and Joinder to Loan Documents (the “First Amendment”) with PNC, pursuant to which PNC has agreed to make certain amendments to the PNC Loan Agreement and the Other Documents (as such term is defined in the PNC Loan Agreement and together with the PNC Loan Agreement, the “PNC Loan Documents”), including (1) joining EIS Canada to the PNC Loan Documents, (2) amending the definition of EBITDA to revise certain add-backs and deductions thereto and (3) revising the covenants and representations and warranties included in the PNC Loan Agreement to include certain customary covenants and representations and warranties relating to EIS Canada.

As of May 31, 2012, the Company determined it was in compliance with its financial covenants under the PNC Credit Facility.

The Company had a balance of $13.7 million outstanding under the revolving portion of the PNC Credit Facility at May 31, 2012.  At August 31, 2011, the Company had a balance of $17.2 million outstanding under the revolving portion of the DLL Credit Facility, and a balance of $1.0 million (included in the Company’s accounts payable) outstanding plus $2.2 million in open approvals under the floorplan portion of the DLL Credit Facility.  Net availability was $5.1 million under the revolving portion of the PNC Credit Facility as of May 31, 2012 and $4.9 million under the revolving portion of the DLL Credit Facility as of August 31, 2011.

Subordinated Debt

 On December 30, 2011, the Borrower entered into an Amended and Restated Subordinated Loan Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Subordinated Loan Agreement”) with NewSpring SBIC Mezzanine Capital II, L.P. (“NewSpring”) and Peachtree II, L.P. (“Peachtree” and, together with NewSpring, the “Investors”) pursuant to which: (i) Peachtree provided an additional subordinated term loan in an original principal amount of $3.0 million (together with the existing subordinated term loan from NewSpring in the original principal amount of $10.0 million, the “Amended and Restated Subordinated Credit Facility”), (ii) NewSpring was appointed as collateral agent, (iii) the Investors waived any event of default arising from (a) the Borrower failing to meet the Total Funded Senior Debt to Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA Ratio covenant (as set forth in the Subordinated Loan Agreement) for the trailing twelve months ending November 30, 2011 and (b) the Borrower failing to comply with the covenant in the Subordinated Loan Agreement prohibiting a Borrower name change without notice to, or the consent of, NewSpring, and (iv) the Investors agreed to make certain other amendments to the Subordinated Loan Agreement, including amending the Total Funded Senior Debt to Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA Ratio covenant to provide that the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries shall maintain as of the last business day of the fiscal quarters ending on February 28, 2012 and May 31, 2012, a ratio of Total Funded Senior Debt on such date to Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA (as such terms are defined in the Amended and Restated Subordinated Loan Agreement) on a trailing twelve months basis for such period of not less 4.0 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ending on February 28, 2012 and of not less than 3.75 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ending on May 31, 2012.
 
 
49

 
 
As of May 31, 2012, the Company has determined it was in compliance with its financial covenants under the Amended and Restated Subordinated Loan Agreement with NewSpring and Peachtree.  NewSpring and Peachtree have agreed that the total funded senior debt to pro forma adjusted EBITDA financial covenant under the Amended and Restated Subordinated Loan Agreement would not be applicable for the quarter ended May 31, 2012.

Liquidity

We anticipate that our primary sources of liquidity in for the remaining months of fiscal year 2012 and fiscal year 2013 will be cash generated from working capital management, operations, trade vendor credit and cash available to us under the PNC Credit Facility.  Our future financial performance will depend on our ability to continue to reduce and manage operating expenses and our ability to grow revenues.  Any loss of clients, whether due to price competition or technological advances, will have an adverse effect on our revenues. Our future financial performance could be negatively affected by unforeseen factors and unplanned expenses.

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.

 
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, business combinations, 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 are an IT Services provider delivering consulting, staffing, application services and infrastructure solutions to commercial, education, federal, state and local government clients.  Our specific practices include IT consulting, communications, data management, enterprise computing, managed services, business service management solutions, training, storage and data center planning and development and staff augmentation solutions.

It is impracticable for us to report the revenues from external customers for each of our products and services or each group of similar products and services offered.  Our revenue recognition policy is as follows:
 
We recognize revenue from the sales of products when risk of loss and title passes, which is upon client acceptance.
 
 
50

 
 
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 ASC Topic 605-25 Revenue Recognition, Multiple-Element Arrangement 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.
 
 
·
There are occasions when a client requests a transaction on a “bill and hold” basis.  We follow the ASC Topic 605-25 criteria and recognize revenue from these sales prior to date of physical delivery only when all the criteria of ASC Topic 605-25 are met.  We do not modify our normal billing and credit terms for these clients.  The client is invoiced at the date of revenue recognition when all of the criteria have been met.  As of May 31, 2012 and 2011, we did not have any bill and hold transactions.
 
 
·
We have experienced minimal client returns.  Since some 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.
 
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 ASC Topic 605-20 Revenue Recognition, Services.
 
We recognize revenue from sale arrangements that contain both procurement revenue and services and consulting revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 605-25 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.
 
Revenues from the sale of third party manufacturer warranties and 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 we do not expect cancellations of any significance in the future.  As the Company is not obligated to perform these services, we determined it is more appropriate to recognize the net amount of the revenue and related payments as net revenue at the time of sale, pursuant to the guidelines of ASC Topic 605-45 Revenue Recognition, Principal Agent Considerations.

 
51

 
 
Consulting and outsourcing revenue includes time billings based upon billable hours charged to clients, fixed price short-term projects, and hardware maintenance 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.
 
Business Combinations
 
The Company follows applicable sections of ASC Topic 805 Business Combinations, which address accounting for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting (previously referred to as the purchase method).  Among the significant changes, this standard requires a redefining of the measurement date of a business combination, expensing direct transaction costs as incurred, capitalizing in-process research and development costs as an intangible asset and recording a liability for contingent consideration at the measurement date with subsequent re-measurements recorded as general and administrative expense.  This standard also requires costs for business restructuring and exit activities related to the acquired company to be included in the post-combination financial results of operations and also provides guidance for the recognition and measurement of contingent assets and liabilities in a business combination.
 
The Company’s business acquisitions have historically been made at prices above the fair value of the acquired net assets, resulting in goodwill, based on our expectations of synergies of combining the businesses.  These synergies include elimination of redundant facilities, functions and staffing; use of our existing commercial infrastructure to expand sales of the acquired businesses’ products; and use of the commercial infrastructure of the acquired businesses to cost-effectively expand product sales.
 
Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of intangible assets and in assigning their respective useful lives.  The fair value estimates are based on available historical information and on future expectations and assumptions deemed reasonable by management, but are inherently uncertain.
 
The Company generally employs the income method to estimate the fair value of intangible assets, which is based on forecasts of the expected future cash flows attributable to the respective assets. Significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the valuations reflect a consideration of other marketplace participants, and include the amount and timing of future cash flows (including expected growth rates and profitability), the underlying product/service life cycles, economic barriers to entry and the discount rate applied to the cash flows. Unanticipated market or macroeconomic events and circumstances may occur, which could affect the accuracy or validity of the estimates and assumptions.
 
 
52

 
 
Allocation of the purchase price for acquisitions is based on estimates of the fair value of the net assets acquired and, for acquisitions completed within the past year, is subject to adjustment upon finalization of the purchase price allocation. We are not aware of any information that indicates the final purchase price allocations will differ materially from the preliminary estimates. The estimated useful lives of the individual categories of intangible assets were based on the nature of the applicable intangible asset and the expected future cash flows to be derived from the intangible asset. Amortization of intangible assets with finite lives is recognized over the shorter of the respective lives of the agreement or the period of time the assets are expected to contribute to future cash flows. We amortize our finite-lived intangible assets on patterns in which the economic benefits are expected to be realized.
 
Allowance For Doubtful Accounts

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.
 
Inventory Valuation

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.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangible assets and property and equipment, are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC Topic 360 Property, Plant and Equipment.  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.  
 
Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets of acquired companies.  In accordance with ASC Topic 350 Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.  The Company has set an annual impairment testing date of June 1.  The impairment determination is made at the reporting unit level and consists of two steps. First, the Company determines the fair value of the reporting unit and compares it to its carrying amount.  Second, if the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill.  The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation, in accordance with ASC Topic 805 Business Combinations.  The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill.  The Company’s policy is to perform its annual impairment testing for all reporting units as of June 1.  An impairment charge will be recognized only when the implied fair value of a reporting unit, including goodwill, is less than its carrying amount.

Rebates

Rebates received on purchased products are recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as a reduction of the cost of revenues, in accordance with ASC Topic 605-50 Revenue Recognition, Customer Payments and Incentives.
 
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 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 May 31, 2012.  Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, including the accumulation and communication of disclosures to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, were appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and were effective to provide reasonable assurance 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 identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended May 31, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
 
In September 2011, the Company learned that it had been named as a defendant in a qui tam case alleging violations of the Trade Agreements Act.  This case, designated United States ex rel. Sandager v. Dell Marketing, L.P., et al., was filed under seal in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota on July 31, 2008.  The United States declined to intervene in the matter on September 30, 2009.  On April 25, 2012, the case was dismissed with prejudice.

In addition, the Company is occasionally involved in various lawsuits, claims, and administrative proceedings arising in the normal course of business.  Except as set forth above, the Company believes that any liability or loss associated with such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
