NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. In the opinion of Management, the accompanying financial statements present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown. The first quarter results for each year represent operations for the quarters ended June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2000. The financial data included herein was compiled in accordance with the same accounting policies applied to the Companys audited annual financial statements. Any adjustments made were of a normal recurring nature.
The results of operations for the three month period ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
2. Cash and equivalents consist of cash and liquid debt instruments with maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase. Cash and equivalents are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. Short-term investments and marketable securities are classified as held-to-maturity securities based on the Companys ability and intent to hold the securities until maturity. The securities are recorded at amortized cost adjusted for the accretion of discounts or cost plus accrued interest. Short-term investments consist of certificates of deposits and corporate debt instruments. Marketable securities consist of mortgage-backed securities and are expected to mature in less than two years.
3. On May 5, 2000, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of the Companys software business to Keystone Solutions US, Inc. (Keystone), a wholly owned subsidiary of Keystone Software PLC. The Company has agreed to indemnify Keystone with respect to any breach of its representations and warranties (subject to a $50,000 basket and a cap of the purchase price paid) or any breach of any covenant of the Company contained in the Asset Purchase Agreement. The Company has also agreed to indemnify Keystone with respect to claims or actions pending at or arising after the closing date (May 5, 2000) that relate to the operation of the software business prior to that date.
The pre-tax net gain on the sale of the software business recorded in the first quarter of the prior year was $3,475,000. The net gain less applicable income taxes (see note 4) is shown in the statements of operations under the caption discontinued operations.
4. The income tax benefit recorded in each of the comparable quarters on the net loss from continuing operations approximated the statutory tax rate. No additional tax benefits were established in the statements of operations for the comparable first quarters, since the Company has fully reserved for the tax effect of net deductible temporary differences and loss carryforwards. These benefits will be recorded in future periods as they are realized or as their realization becomes predictable.
The income tax provision associated with the gain from the sale of the software business (see note 3) is higher than the statutory tax rate since goodwill valued at $986,000 on the books had a zero basis for tax purposes. The provision includes current taxes of $897,000 and deferred taxes of $800,000. The deferred taxes resulted from the use of tax loss
7
carryforwards from prior years, the reversal of temporary differences between book and tax on the assets sold, and the temporary difference created by the treatment of of a portion the proceeds which were held in escrow.
5. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities beginning April 1, 2001. SFAS No. 133 requires all derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value and establishes new accounting rules for hedging instruments. The Company does not enter into hedging transactions or acquire derivative instruments, accordingly, SFAS No. 133 had no impact on the financial statements.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Financial Condition
Cash and equivalents, short-term investments and marketable securities totaled $4,163,000 at June 30 2001 and $4,357,000 at March 31, 2001. The net decrease of $194,000 was primarily a result of debt repayments of $103,000, net cash used by operating activities of $52,000 and additions to equipment and leasehold improvements of $36,000.
The principal cash requirements expected for fiscal 2002 are additions to equipment and leasehold improvements which are expected to increase over amounts spent in prior years if an anticipated move of the Companys headquarters takes place. The Company has entered into a lease agreement to move in the second half of fiscal 2002. The agreement is subject to a number of contingencies which could result in a delay of the move or the Company seeking alternative sites. Debt repayments for fiscal 2002 should approximate $424,000. The Companys cash and short term investments will be sufficient to cover working capital, capital expenditure requirements and debt repayments in fiscal 2002.
Results of Operations
For the quarter ended June 30, 2001, revenues increased approximately 26.8% from the same quarter in 2000. This increase resulted from growth in revenues from hardware maintenance contracts and from services provided on a time and materials basis. Revenues from hardware maintenance contracts grew to $2,283,000, an increase of 25.4% from the first quarter of the prior year, based on the capture of new business during the prior year, primarily through the Companys reseller channel. However, non-renewals of contracts in the first quarter of the current year, particularly one large contract, exceeded new contracts sold in that quarter. Management expects that new business will exceed non-renewals in future quarters. For the comparative first quarters, time and material services increased by 36.2% to a total of $745,000. The principal reason for the increase was business generated from a new customer obtained from a reseller that started in April, 2001 and the continuation of services outsourced by a direct customer which commenced in the second half of the previous year.
The cost of services as a percentage of revenues remained approximately the same for the comparable first quarters, amounting to 74.7% for the first quarter of the current year compared to 74.5% for the first quarter of the prior year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were 29.2% of revenues for the first quarter of this year compared to 31.3% for the comparative quarter last year. This decrease resulted from the growth in revenues for the comparable first quarters without a commensurate growth in general and administrative expenses. Certain of these expenses that were incurred in the first quarter of the prior year, prior to the sale of the software business of the Company to Keystone Solutions US, Inc. in May 2000, were reduced after the sale.
Interest income was earned in the first quarter of the prior year based on income received on the investment of the net proceeds from the sale of the software business in May, 2000. These proceeds were also used to pay certain outstanding interest bearing debt of the Company. The increase in interest income for the first quarter of the current year resulted from the investment earnings on the proceeds from the sale of the software business for the full
9
quarter. The Company expects lower amounts of interest income in future quarters since interest rates have dropped and the majority of the Companys investments are short term.
The income tax benefit recorded in each of the comparable quarters on the net loss from continuing operations approximated the statutory tax rate. No additional tax benefits were established in the statements of operations for the comparable first quarters, since the Company has fully reserved for the tax effect of net deductible temporary differences and loss carryforwards. These benefits will be recorded in future periods as they are realized or as their realization becomes predictable.
The pre-tax net gain on discontinued operations recognized in the first quarter of the prior year is based on the sale of the Companys software business to Keystone on May 5, 2000. The income tax provision associated with the gain from the sale of the software business is higher than the statutory tax rate since goodwill valued at $986,000 on the books had a zero basis for tax purposes. The provision includes current taxes of $897,000 and deferred taxes of $800,000. The deferred taxes resulted from the use of tax loss carryforwards from prior years, the reversal of temporary differences between book and tax on the assets sold and the temporary difference created by the treatment of a portion of the proceeds which were held in escrow.
