En Pointe Technologies, Inc.
Note 1 Basis of Presentation and General Information
In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets of En Pointe Technologies, Inc., including its wholly-owned subsidiaries En Pointe Technologies Sales, Inc., En Pointe Gov, Inc., En Pointe Technologies Canada, Inc., The Xyphen Corporation and Premier BPO, Inc. (a partially owned Variable Interest Entity see Note 6), (collectively, the Company or En Pointe) at June 30, 2004, and the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the interim periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. Operating results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2004. It is suggested that these condensed statements be read in conjunction with the Companys most recent Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to customer bad debts, product returns, vendor returns, rebate reserves, inventories, other contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Note 2 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure. This standard amends the transition and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. As permitted by SFAS No. 148, the Company accounts for stock option grants and restricted stock awards in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for stock options since all options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying stock on the grant date. The Company currently does not intend to transition to the use of a fair value method for accounting for stock-based
compensation. The following table illustrates the effect on net earnings and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation.

Note 4 Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46), which clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements. FIN 46 requires variable interest entities (VIE) to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the VIE activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entitys residual returns or both. A company that consolidates a VIE is called the primary beneficiary of that entity. FIN 46 also requires disclosures about VIE that a company is not required to consolidate but in which it has a significant variable interest. The provisions of this interpretation apply immediately to VIE created after January 31, 2003 and apply to existing VIE in the first fiscal year or interim period ending after December 15, 2003. The Company adopted FIN 46 for the quarter ended December 31, 2003, which adversely affected its operating results due to substantial losses from its VIE investment being consolidated (see Note 6).
In December 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (Revised 2003) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46), which partially deferred the effective date of FIN 46 for certain entities and makes other changes to FIN 46, including a more complete definition of variable interest and an exemption for many entities defined as businesses.
In December 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132 (revised 2003), Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits (SFAS No. 132). The provisions of SFAS No. 132 do not change the measurement and recognition provisions of SFAS No. 87, Employers Accounting for Pensions, No. 88, Employers Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits, and No. 106, Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions. SFAS No. 132 replaces SFAS No. 132, and requires certain additional disclosures that become effective for fiscal years ending after and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2003. The Company does not believe that adoption of this standard will have any significant impact on its financial statements.
In March 2004, the FASBs Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) finalized new guidance on other-than-temporary impairment of debt and equity securities. The impairment evaluation guidance in Issue No. 03-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments, is effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004. The Company had previously been evaluating impairments of debt and equity securities using much of the guidance incorporated into this new EITF Issue. The implementation of this guidance does not significantly change the Companys procedures for evaluating impairments.
In May 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 106-2 Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (FSP 106-2). FSP 106-2 supersedes FSP 106-1 issued in January 2004. FSP 106-2 provides guidance on the accounting for the effects of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (Act) for employers that sponsor postretirement health care plans that provide prescription drug benefits. The Act introduces two new features to Medicare that an employer needs to consider in measuring its obligation and net periodic postretirement benefit costs. The effective date for FSP 106-2 is the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2004. The Company adopted FSP 106-2 as of July 1, 2004. The Company does not believe that adoption of this position will have any significant impact on its financial statements.
Note 5 Acquisition of Business
On October 11, 2002, the Company completed the purchase of certain assets of Tabin Corporation, a Chicago-based value-added reseller, providing the Company with an established presence in one of the largest market places in the U.S. The total purchase price of approximately $921,000 has been allocated as follows (in thousands):
Inventory |
$ | 76 | ||
Depreciable assets |
145 | |||
Customer relationships |
470 | |||
Goodwill |
230 | |||
Purchase price |
$ | 921 | ||
The Company allocated the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, based on their estimated fair values. The excess purchase price over those fair values was recorded as goodwill. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill and purchased intangibles with indefinite lives acquired after June 30, 2001 are not amortized but will be reviewed periodically for impairment.
Of the purchase price, approximately $470,000 has been allocated to amortizable intangible assets related to customer relationships. Customer relationships are existing sales contacts that relate to underlying customer relationships pertaining to the products and services provided by the Company. The Company is amortizing the fair value of these assets on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of approximately 5 years.
Under terms of the agreement, the stockholders of Tabin Corporation were eligible to receive additional earn-out payments based upon achieving certain profitability targets over a two-year period beginning November 1, 2002. On July 8, 2003, the stockholders of Tabin Corporation agreed to a modification of the agreement and accepted a one-time payment of $5,000 as payment in full for any sums owed under the earn-out provisions of the acquisition agreement.
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information reflects the results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2003 as if the acquisition of Tabin Corporations operations had occurred on October 1, 2002 (in thousands, except per share data).

These pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of what operating results would have been had the acquisition actually taken place on October 1, 2002. In addition, these results are not intended to be a projection of future results and do not reflect any synergies that might be achieved from the combined operations.
Note 6 Investment in Variable Interest Entity
In October 2003, the Company advanced $300,000 to Premier BPO, Inc. (PBPO), (formerly En Pointe Global Services, Inc.), a newly-formed, privately-held corporation and a related party. PBPO offers business process outsourcing that assists companies in reducing their back-office overhead expenses by providing off-shore outsourcing alternatives.
In February 2004, the Company advanced an additional $300,000 to PBPO and acquired 8,550 shares of common stock for an approximate one-third equity interest in PBPO for $8,550. In total, as of June 30, 2004, the Company had provided approximately $609,000 to PBPO as a combination of a $8,550 equity investment and a $600,000 five-year 6% interest-bearing note. The Company also entered into an employee leasing agreement with PBPO
whereby certain Company employees are leased to PBPO on a cost-plus basis.
In August 2004, the Company invested an additional $500,000 in common stock of PBPO that increased its ownership to approximately 39% and agreed to convert the principal and interest of its $600,000 note receivable into preferred stock of such entity.
PBPO is considered a related party because of the Companys equity interest in PBPO as well as the interrelationship of several of the investors with the Company. An En Pointe board member is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PBPO and, as of June 30, 2004, owns an approximate one-third equity interest in PBPO. The Companys Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, Bob Din, represents En Pointes interest as a member of the board of directors of PBPO. Two additional investors who collectively have an approximate one-third equity interest in PBPO as of June 30, 2004 are the owners of Ovex Technologies, Ltd, a private company in Pakistan that presently performs the operational side of the off-shore outsourced services for En Pointe.
The Company evaluated its acquired approximate one-third interest in PBPO and has determined that it meets the tests of a Variable Interest Entity under FIN 46 and has thus consolidated its interest in PBPO from inception through March 31, 2004. PBPO losses included in the Companys consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004 totaled $329,000 and $693,000 respectively
Note 7 Financing Facility
In June 2004, the Company closed a $30.0 million replacement working capital financing facility with GE Commercial Distribution Finance Corporation (GE). The term of the facility is for a period of three years, except that either party may terminate the agreement upon 60 days written notice to the other party. Under the financing facility, the Company may borrow up to 85% of the eligible accounts receivable at an interest rate of prime plus 1.0% per annum, subject to a minimum rate of 5.0%. In addition, the Company may purchase and finance information technology products from GE approved vendors on terms that depend upon certain variable factors. The financing agreements contain various liquidity financial covenants, including, without limitation, that EBITDA be sufficient to cover a multiple of 1.25 times interest expense for a rolling twelve month period ending on the last day of each fiscal quarter. The Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants as of June 30, 2004.
The GE facility is collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory and all other assets of the Company. As of June 30, 2004, approximately $13.4 million was outstanding. At June 30, 2004, the Company had additional borrowings available of approximately $13.2 million after taking into consideration the available collateral and borrowing limitations under the agreements
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
En Pointe Technologies, Inc., including its wholly-owned subsidiaries En Pointe Technologies Sales, Inc., En Pointe Gov, Inc., En Pointe Technologies Canada, Inc., The Xyphen Corporation, and Premier BPO, Inc. (a partially owned Variable Interest Entity see Note 6) are collectively referred to as the Company or En Pointe.
The following statements are or may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995:
(i) any statements contained or incorporated herein regarding possible or assumed future results of operations of En Pointes business, anticipated cost savings or other synergies, the markets for En Pointes services and products, anticipated capital expenditures, regulatory developments or competition;
(ii) any statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words intends, estimates, believes, expects, anticipates, should, could, projects, potential, or similar expressions; and
(iii) other statements contained or incorporated by reference herein regarding matters that are not historical facts.
Such forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, included in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, which reflect managements best judgment based on factors currently known, involve risks and uncertainties. The Companys actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements and their inclusion should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the objectives or plans will be achieved. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: (i) a significant portion of the Companys sales continuing to be to certain large customers, (ii) continued dependence by the Company on certain allied distributors, (iii) continued downward pricing pressures in the information technology market, (iv) the ability of the Company to maintain inventory and accounts receivable financing on acceptable terms, (v) quarterly fluctuations in results, (vi) seasonal patterns of sales and client buying behaviors, (vii) changing economic influences in the industry, (viii) the development by competitors of new or superior delivery technologies or entry in the market by new competitors, (ix) dependence on intellectual property rights, (x) delays in product development, (xi) the Companys dependence on key personnel, and potential influence by executive officers and principal stockholders, (xii) volatility of the Companys stock price, (xiii) delays in the receipt of orders or in the shipment of products, (xiv) any delay in execution and implementation of the Companys system development plans, (xv) loss of minority ownership status, (xvi) planned or unplanned changes in the quantity and/or quality of the suppliers available for the Companys products, (xvii) changes in the costs or availability of products, (xviii) interruptions in transport or distribution, (xix) general business conditions in the economy, and (xx) the ability of the Company to prevail in litigation.
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 the Company to alter its marketing, capital expenditure or other budgets, which may in turn affect the Companys business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The reader is therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements contained herein and to consider other risks detailed more fully in the Companys most recent Form 10-K and Annual Report as of September 30, 2003. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions to these forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Comparison of the Results of Operations for the Three Months and Nine Months ended June 30, 2004 (the third quarter of fiscal 2004) and 2003 (the third quarter of fiscal 2003)
NET SALES. Net sales increased $12.9 million, or 18.4%, to $82.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2004 from $70.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2003.

Service revenues increased $1.5 million, or 15.7%, to $10.9 million in the third quarter of
fiscal 2004 from the $9.4 million recorded in the prior fiscal year quarter and were 13.1% of total net sales versus 13.4% in the prior fiscal year quarter. Service revenues increased $0.7 million, or 6.9%, from the prior sequential March quarter. The Company anticipates that s
