NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Six Months Ended December 31, 2001 and 2000

 

A. Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of SED International Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SED International, Inc., SED International do Brasil Distribuidora Ltda. (formerly SED Magna Distribuidora Ltda.), SED Magna (Miami), Inc., SED International de Colombia Ltda., Intermaco S.R.L., and E-Store.com, Inc. (collectively, the "Company") have been prepared without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2001.

The operating results for the six months ended December 31, 2001 reflect a restatement of the operating results of the three months ended September 30, 2001 for a non-cash impairment charge related to the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle as explained in Note D.

Certain December 31, 2000 amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes.

  1. Foreign Currency Translation
  2. The assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign operations in Colombia and Brazil are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, with related translation gains and losses reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity (comprehensive income or loss). The results of foreign operations are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the period. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the statement of operations.

    From December 21, 2001 to January 11, 2002, trading in Argentine pesos (the peso) was suspended. Prior to December 21, 2001, the peso had been linked to the US dollar at an effective exchange rate of 1 to 1. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Emerging Issues Task Force Issue D-12, "Foreign Currency Translation-Selection of Exchange Rate When Trading is Temporarily Suspended", the Company should use the rate in effect when trading resumes to translate transactions subsequent to December 20, 2001 and the balance sheet at December 31, 2001. Accordingly, the Company has used the rate of 1.7 pesos per US dollar for such measurements with the exception of the items described in the following paragraph.

    On or about February 5, 2002, the Argentine government announced a preliminary ruling that all December 31, 2001 obligations then outstanding and denominated in US dollars to be settled in the country of Argentina should, by law, be settled at the rate of 1 to 1. Accordingly, the Company has assumed certain liabilities with trade vendors will be settled with no transaction currency loss. There can be no assurance that the Company will ultimately settle such losses at the rate of 1 to 1. If such liabilities are settled at rates less favorable than 1 to 1, the Company will realize additional foreign currency transaction losses in the future. In addition, the Company measured certain bank deposits in Argentina at the rate of 1.4 to 1, since such deposits were settled in January 2002 at this rate.

  3. Bank Debt
  4. The Company has a credit agreement with Wachovia Bank N.A. ("Wachovia"), as amended on October 12, 2001, which provides for borrowing under a line of credit of up to $25.0 million. At December 31, 2001, the Company had borrowings of $7,300,000 outstanding under this facility. Maximum borrowings under the credit agreement are generally based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory (as defined in the credit agreement) less a $9.5 million reserve. This reserve can be drawn upon, if necessary, to finance obligations to IBM Credit Corporation, which finances the Company's purchases from certain vendors. Available borrowings under this agreement at December 31, 2001, based on collateral limitations, were $17.4 million ($9.5 million of which would only be available to finance obligations due to IBM, if necessary).

    The Wachovia credit agreement is secured by accounts receivable and inventory of SED International, Inc. and requires maintenance of certain minimum working capital and other financial ratios and has certain dividend restrictions. The Company may borrow at Wachovia's prime rate (5.25% at December 31, 2001) plus .50% or the Company may fix the interest rate for periods of 30 to 180 days under various interest rate options. The credit agreement requires a commitment fee of .50% of the unused commitment and expires November 1, 2002. Average borrowings, maximum borrowings and the weighted average interest rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 were $3.3 million, $9.0 million and 5.25%, respectively. Average borrowings, maximum borrowings and the weighted average interest rate for the six months ended December 31, 2001 were $1.8 million, $9.0 million and 5.25%, respectively. At December 31, 2001 the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants under the Wachovia credit agreement; however, Wachovia and the Company subsequently amended the agreement to achieve compliance.

    Following is a summary of the Company's short-term foreign subsidiary bank debt:

    The weighted average monthly rates for the six months ended December 31, 2001 were 1.89% in Brazil.

  5. Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement No. 141 ("SFAS 141") "Business Combinations," and Statement No. 142 ("SFAS 142"), "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS 141 prospectively prohibits the pooling of interests method of accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 requires companies to cease amortizing goodwill that existed at June 30, 2001 and establishes a new method for testing goodwill for impairment on an annual basis (or an interim basis if an event occurs that might reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.) Any goodwill resulting from acquisitions completed after June 30, 2001 will not be amortized. SFAS 142 also requires that an identifiable intangible asset that is determined to have an indefinite useful economic life not be amortized, but separately tested for impairment using a fair value based approach. The Company adopted SFAS 142 as of July 1, 2001. However, the Company did not complete the required transitional impairment tests until the second quarter ended December 31, 2001.

During the three-month period ended December 31, 2001, the Company tested goodwill arising from a prior business combination of an enterprise based in Argentina as of July 1, 2001 primarily utilizing a valuation technique relying on the expected present value of future cash flows. As a result of this valuation process as well as the application of the remaining provisions of SFAS 142, the Company recorded a pre-tax transitional impairment loss of $6,372,000, representing the write-off of all of the Company's existing goodwill. This write-off was reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, on a net of tax basis, as of July 1, 2001 in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations for the six-month period ended December 31, 2001.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 142 on July 2001, the Company amortized this goodwill over an estimated useful life of 30 years. Had the Company accounted for goodwill consistent with the provisions of SFAS 142 in prior periods, the Company's net income as reported would have been as follows after giving effect to the non-amortization provisions of SFAS 142, net of income taxes:

F. Risks and Uncertainties

The Risks and Uncertainties section contained in Note 1 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended June 30, 2001 continues to be appropriate and should be read in conjunction with this report.

 

At the beginning of November 2001, The Argentine Government announced that it would attempt to restructure its existing external public indebtedness with its Argentine and internal creditors in order to obtain interest savings and relief from principal repayments in the next several years. The restructuring or default by the Argentine Government of its external public indebtedness may have an adverse effect on the Argentine economy and on the availability of capital flows to companies headquartered or operating in Argentina. In addition, the failure of the Argentine Government to successfully restructure its indebtedness could have an adverse effect on the Argentine economy, including devaluation of the Argentine peso against the U.S. dollar. The devaluation which commenced in January 2002 could make it more difficult for Argentine companies to service their commercial and financial obligations due in U.S. dollars or tied to the U.S. dollar. Any of the foregoing events and a continuation of the Argentine recession may have a material adverse effect the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition, ability to make payments on our indebtedness and on the market price of our common stock. The information included in the Company's financial statements, and other related documentation, does not contain the potential impact that might derive from the situation described above and, accordingly, should be analyzed considering that circumstance.

 

G. Subsequent Event

In January 2002, the Company decided to discontinue the computer asset recovery operation of E-Store.com. The Company anticipates taking a charge of approximately $600,000 during the March 2002 quarter for the discontinued operations of E-Store.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended December 31, 2001 Compared to Three Months Ended

Net sales decreased 16.6%, or $22.0 million, to $110.2 million in the second quarter ended December 31, 2001 compared to $132.2 million in the second quarter ended December 31, 2000. Information concerning the Company's domestic and foreign sales is summarized below:

The decrease resulted from a decrease in United States domestic sales, a decrease in sales to customers for export principally to Latin America, and a decrease in sales to customers in Latin America. The decrease in sales in Latin America was principally due to lower sales to customers in Brazil associated with more stringent credit standards and a change in sales pricing policies.

The decrease in sales in the United States was primarily due to lower sales of printers, printer consumables, computer processors, and wireless products. The decrease in the U.S. export sales was due primarily to lower sales of printers and printer consumables. Sales of microcomputer products represented approximately 95.5% of the Company's second quarter net sales compared to 93.7% for the same period last year. Sales of wireless telephone products accounted for approximately 4.5% of the Company's second quarter net sales compared to 6.3% for the same period last year.

Gross profit decreased to $6.5 million in the second quarter ended December 31, 2001 compared to $8.6 million in the second quarter ended December 31, 2000. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 5.9% in the second quarter ended December 31, 2001 from 6.5% in the second quarter ended December 31, 2000. The change in gross profit as a percentage of sales was due to an increase in lower margin sales in the United States. Overall, the Company continues to experience pricing pressures in selling products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, decreased $1.8 million to $6.2 million in the second quarter ended December 31, 2001, compared to $8.0 million in the second quarter ended December 31, 2000. These expenses as a percentage of net sales were 5.6% in the second quarter ended December 31, 2001 compared to 6.0% in the second quarter ended December 31, 2000. The decrease resulted primarily from the Company's coordinated efforts to reduce employee costs and general overhead expenses.

Net interest expense was $.2 million in the second quarter ended December 31, 2001 compared to interest expense of $.3 million in the second quarter ended December 31, 2000.

The income tax expense relates to tax on income generated by certain of the Company's Latin America subsidiaries, while the remaining operations contributed losses with no corresponding tax benefits.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2001 Compared to Six Months Ended

December 31, 2000

Net sales decreased 11.9%, or $31.6 million, to $234.1 million in the six months ended December 31, 2001 compared to $264.7 million in the six months ended December 31, 2000. Information concerning the Company's domestic and foreign sales is summarized below:

The overall decrease resulted from an increase in United States domestic net sales, offset by declines in net sales to customers in Latin America as well as to customers for export principally to Latin America. The decrease in sales in Latin America was principally due to lower sales to customers in Brazil associated with more stringent credit standards and a change in sales pricing policies.

The increase in sales in the United States was primarily due to an increase in sales of mass storage products which was offset by lower sales of printers, printer consumables, computer processors, and wireless products. The decrease in the U.S. export sales was due primarily to lower sales of printers and printer consumables. Sales of microcomputer products represented approximately 95.5% of the Company's six months net sales compared to 92.3% for the same period last year. Sales of wireless telephone products accounted for approximately 4.5% of the Company's six months net sales compared to 7.7% for the same period last year.

Gross profit decreased to $13.0 million in the six months ended December 31, 2001 compared to $16.8 million in the six months ended December 31, 2000. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 5.6% in the six months ended December 31, 2001 from 6.3% in the six months ended December 31, 2000. The change in gross profit as a percentage of sales was due to an increase in lower margin sales in the United States. Overall, the Company continues to experience pricing pressures in selling products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $.3 million to $15.5 million in the six months ended December 31, 2001, compared to $15.8 million in the six months ended December 31, 2000. These expenses as a percentage of net sales were 6.6% in the six months ended December 31, 2001 compared to 6.0% in the six months ended December 31, 2000. The decrease resulted primarily from lower employee costs and overhead costs, which was offset by bad debt expenses in Latin America.

Net interest expense was $.4 million in the six months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000.

The income tax expense relates to tax on income generated by certain of the Company's Latin America subsidiaries, while the remaining operations contributed losses with no corresponding tax benefits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's liquidity requirements arise primarily from the funding of working capital needs, including inventories and trade accounts receivable. Historically, the Company has financed its liquidity needs largely through internally generated funds, borrowings under its Wachovia Bank N.A. credit agreement, subsidiary bank credit agreements, and vendor lines of credit. The Company derives all of its operating income and cash flow from its subsidiaries and relies on such cash flows to satisfy its obligations on a consolidated basis. As the Company continues operations in Latin America, management believes that domestic banking agreements may restrict the ability of the Company to make inter-company transfers of cash on a consolidated basis.

Operating activities used $5.1 million in the six months ended December 31, 2001. The Company's reduction of $8.4 million in accounts receivable and $6.4 million in inventories provided sources of operating cash. The Company used sources of cash to reduce accounts payable by $17.2 million. Also, the Company's net loss of $9.6 million less non-cash charges of $7.6 million used cash. Operating activities provided $.9 million in the six months ended December 31, 2000.

Investing activities used $.3 million and $.5 in the six months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, to purchase equipment and computer software.

Financing activities provided $6.9 million and used $1.6 million in the six months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, resulting from net bank borrowings and repayments.

Management believes that the Wachovia Bank N.A. credit agreement, subsidiary bank credit agreements together with vendor lines of credit, and internally generated funds will be sufficient to satisfy its working capital needs.

Presently, the Company's principal credit agreement expires in November 2002. Management is presently negotiating with lenders to obtain financing prior to the November 2002 expiration of its existing bank credit agreement. Management believes the Company will be successful in obtaining renewal or replacement financing. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain an extension of the existing credit agreement or alternate sources of financing.

Forward-Looking Information

This report contains certain statements that are not based on historical facts and which may be considered forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995. These statements may differ materially from actual future events or results, and by their nature they involve substantial risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the Company's control. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect Management's judgment only as of the date hereof. Factors that might cause the Company's actual results to differ from those described in the forward-looking statements are referred to in the sections under the headings "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" which are contained in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3 (SEC File No. 333-35069) and these factors include the Company's ability to maintain profitability, cash flow, revenue growth, business prospects, foreign currency fluctuations, a dependence upon and/or loss of key vendors or customers, customer demand, product availability, competition (including pricing and availability).

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes in the Company's market risk exposures relating to interest rate risk and foreign currency risk that would significantly affect the quantitative and qualitative disclosures presented in the Company's Form 10-K filing for the year ended June 30, 2001 other than those currency risks which may come about as a result of the events described in the following paragraph. The functional currency for the Company's international subsidiaries is the local currency for the country in which the subsidiaries own their primary assets. The translation of the applicable currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using a weighted average exchange rate during the period. Any related translation adjustments are recorded directly to shareholders' equity. The Company is not involved in hedging transactions at the current time related to its currency risks.

 

At the beginning of November 2001, The Argentine Government announced that it would attempt to restructure its existing external public indebtedness with its Argentine and internal creditors in order to obtain interest savings and relief from principal repayments in the next several years. The restructuring or default by the Argentine Government of its external public indebtedness may have an adverse effect on the Argentine economy and on the availability of capital flows to companies headquartered or operating in Argentina. In addition, the failure of the Argentine Government to successfully restructure its indebtedness could have an adverse effect on the Argentine economy, including devaluation of the Argentine peso against the U.S. dollar. The devaluation which commenced in January 2002 could make it more difficult for Argentine companies to service their commercial and financial obligations due in U.S. dollars or tied to the U.S. dollar. Any of the foregoing events and a continuation of the Argentine recession may have a material adverse effect the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition, ability to make payments on our indebtedness and on the market price of our common stock. The information included in the Company's financial statements, and other related documentation, does not contain the potential impact that might derive from the situation described above and, accordingly, should be analyzed considering that circumstance.
