Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

September 30, 2011 and 2010

1. Nature of Operations

The Company has facilities in the United States, Europe and Asia. The common shares of PDSi are traded on NYSE Amex under the stock symbol “PNS.”

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of PDSi have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The financial information included herein reflects all normal and recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations. Operating results for all periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2010 included in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which includes a complete summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies in Note 2. There have been no material changes to these policies since December 31, 2010.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The Company’s most critical estimates include those related to revenue recognition, accounts receivable, inventory, goodwill and income taxes. Although some variability is inherent in these estimates, recorded amounts reflect management’s best estimates based on available facts and circumstances at that time. Management believes the amounts provided are appropriate.

Consolidation Policy

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PDSi; PDSi B.V., a wholly-owned private limited liability company located in Tiel, the Netherlands; and PDSi Singapore Pte. Ltd., a wholly-owned private limited liability company located in Singapore. All significant intercompany balances and transactions were eliminated. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Inventory

As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company provided reserves of $2.0 million and $1.9 million, respectively, to reduce the carrying value of inventory. The following table summarizes the Company’s inventory as of the dates indicated (net of inventory reserves):

3. Line of Credit

On March 24, 2011, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement and a Security Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), providing for a revolving credit facility (the “Line”) with a maximum line of credit of $3.0 million, subject to borrowing base restrictions. The borrowing base is determined as follows: 1) the sum of (a) 85% of the aggregate amount of eligible accounts receivable located within the United States, plus (b) 75% of the aggregate amount of eligible accounts receivable located outside of the United States, plus (c) the lesser of 10% of the aggregate amount of eligible inventory or $0.5 million.

The Line is evidenced by a Revolving Line of Credit Note made by the Company in favor of Wells Fargo, and is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company, as provided for in the Security Agreement. The Line is subject to customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations on the Company with respect to liens, indebtedness, guaranties, investments, mergers and dispositions of assets.

The Credit Agreement also contains certain financial covenants, including a maximum ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth, minimum net income on a rolling four-quarter basis, and a minimum debt service coverage ratio. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of September 30, 2011.

The outstanding balance on the Line bears interest monthly at a fluctuating annual rate of 3% above the Daily One Month London Interbank Offered Rate. The Line matures on March 22, 2013.

The Company may use borrowings under the Credit Agreement for general corporate purposes. Any unused portions of the Line will be subject to unused Line fees. Wells Fargo may terminate the Credit Agreement immediately upon default.

On March 24, 2011, in connection with entering into the Credit Agreement and Security Agreement described above, the Company terminated its prior line of credit agreement with Wells Fargo. The Company did not incur any early termination penalties in connection with the termination of the prior line of credit agreement.

4. Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and foreign countries. There are no federal or state income tax examinations currently underway for these jurisdictions. Open tax years exist for 2007 and beyond for the Company’s federal income tax returns and for 2006 and beyond for state income tax returns.

The Company reviewed its net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2009 to assess the need to establish a valuation allowance due to the continuing uncertain economic environment and the Company’s pre-tax loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. At that time, the Company’s net deferred tax assets primarily consisted of temporary differences related to inventory reserves and federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards. Based on the Company’s analysis and application of the GAAP framework, the Company established a valuation allowance of $1.6 million against its net deferred tax assets.

During the third quarter of 2010, the Company concluded that its operations had demonstrated sustainable profitability, and that future taxable income would more likely than not allow for realization of benefits from existing deferred income tax assets. Accordingly, the Company reversed substantially all of its deferred tax asset valuation allowance. As a result, the year-to-date U.S. effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2010 was approximately 34%, versus an effective rate of approximately 22% applied in the first six months of 2010. The combined impact of the valuation allowance reversal and the adjustment of the year-to-date U.S. effective tax rate resulted in a $1.3 million net non-cash benefit.

The Company maintains a $0.1 million valuation allowance against deferred tax assets related to certain state NOL carryforwards. The Company can provide no assurance that changes in its deferred tax asset valuation allowance will not be required in the future. The Company will continue to monitor events and circumstances to determine whether any change in its valuation allowance is warranted in the future.

September 30, 2011 and 2010

 

Although the Company periodically had considered the potential tax savings associated with pursuing research and development (“R&D”) tax credits, the Company’s then recent operating losses, combined with existing federal U.S. NOL carryforwards, precluded an economical pursuit of such credits. However, based on positive changes in the Company’s operating results and financial position in 2010, as well as the use of existing NOL carryforwards, management determined during the fourth quarter of 2010 that the benefits would outweigh both the cost of an R&D tax credit study and the establishment of the necessary infrastructure to be able to claim such credits in the future. Accordingly, the Company recorded a net tax benefit of $0.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2010 for estimated R&D tax credits for tax years 2001 through 2010 that the Company believed were more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company substantially completed the calculation and documentation of these R&D tax credits during the first quarter of 2011, resulting in an additional net tax benefit of $0.3 million. During the second and third quarters of 2011, the Company recorded net tax expense of $0.1 million and a net benefit of $0.1 million, respectively, associated with the finalization of the amended federal and state tax returns for prior years impacted by the R&D tax credit study.

The Company maintains a liability for unrecognized tax benefits related to R&D tax credit positions to be taken on its various income tax returns. If recognized, the entire amount of these unrecognized tax benefits would favorably impact the Company’s effective tax rate in future periods. The Company had $0.2 million and $0.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, which were recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

The following table summarizes the Company’s income tax expense (benefit) for the periods indicated:

5. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) represents the amount of earnings available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted EPS represents the amount of earnings available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period adjusted for the potential issuance of common shares for stock options, if dilutive.

The following table presents the Company’s calculation of basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the periods indicated:

 

     Three Months Ended Sept. 30,      Nine Months Ended Sept. 30,  

(in thousands)

Weighted average common shares outstanding – diluted

The computation of diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 excluded options to purchase approximately 827,000 shares and 545,000 shares, respectively, that were anti-dilutive because the exercise price of these options was greater than the average market price of the common shares during the respective periods (approximately 484,000 shares and 489,000 shares, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010).

During the quarter ended September 30, 2011, we recorded net income of $214,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, versus net income of $1,673,000, or $0.21 per diluted share, for the prior year quarter (including a $1.3 million net tax benefit related to the reversal of most of our deferred tax asset valuation allowance). During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded net income of $949,000, or $0.12 per diluted share (including $0.3 million related to research and development tax credit adjustments), versus net income of $2,282,000, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the prior year period (including the $1.3 million valuation allowance reversal benefit noted above). See below for further discussion of consolidated and reportable segment results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

We reviewed our net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2009 to assess the need to establish a valuation allowance due to the continuing uncertain economic environment and our pre-tax loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. At that time, our net deferred tax assets primarily consisted of temporary differences related to inventory reserves and federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards. Based on our analysis and application of the GAAP framework, we established a valuation allowance of $1.6 million against our net deferred tax assets.

During the third quarter of 2010, we concluded that our operations had demonstrated sustainable profitability, and that future taxable income would more likely than not allow for realization of benefits from existing deferred income tax assets. Accordingly, we reversed substantially all of our deferred tax asset valuation allowance. As a result, the year-to-date U.S. effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2010 was approximately 34%, versus an effective rate of approximately 22% applied in the first six months of 2010. The combined impact of the valuation allowance reversal and the adjustment of the year-to-date U.S. effective tax rate resulted in a $1.3 million net non-cash benefit.

Although we periodically had considered the potential tax savings associated with pursuing research and development (“R&D”) tax credits, our then recent operating losses, combined with existing federal U.S. NOL carryforwards, precluded an economical pursuit of such credits. However, based on positive changes in our operating results and financial position in 2010, as well as the use of existing NOL carryforwards, we determined during the fourth quarter of 2010 that the benefits would outweigh both the cost of an R&D tax credit study and the establishment of the necessary infrastructure to be able to claim such credits in the future. Accordingly, we recorded a net tax benefit of $0.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2010 for estimated R&D tax credits for tax years 2001 through 2010 that we believed were more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. We substantially completed the calculation and documentation of these R&D tax credits during the first quarter of 2011, resulting in an additional net tax benefit of $0.3 million. During the second and third quarters of 2011, we recorded net tax expense of $0.1 million and a net benefit of $0.1 million, respectively, associated with the finalization of the amended federal and state tax returns for prior years impacted by the R&D tax credit study.

Table of Contents

The decrease in net income for the third quarter of 2011 compared to the prior year quarter primarily was due to a $1.3 million net tax benefit recorded during the third quarter of 2010 associated with the aforementioned reversal of most of our valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. This partially was offset by the previously described $0.1 million tax benefit in the third quarter of 2011 related to the finalization of amended tax returns for prior years impacted by the R&D tax credit study. Furthermore, higher operating expenses in the current year quarter reflect investments in personnel necessary to grow and support the business. Overall gross profit was flat with strong Service segment sales growth offsetting lower Product segment results. Service segment sales increased 14% due to the growth of business in the U.S. and Europe for both new customers and new programs within existing customers. Interest expense was zero as the Company did not utilize its line of credit during the third quarter of 2011.

For the third quarter of 2011, we had three customers that generated $1.9 million, $1.5 million and $1.0 million, or 28%, 22% and 15%, respectively, of total sales. Of the revenues from these customers, 27% and 73% were included in Product and Service segment sales, respectively. For the third quarter of 2010, we had two customers that generated $2.2 million and $1.1 million, or 35% and 18%, respectively, of total sales. Of the revenues from these customers, 27% and 73% were included in Product and Service segment sales, respectively. Major customer relationships consist of multiple product or service programs in various stages of their lifecycle. We continue to work toward developing a more diversified customer revenue base across both our Product and Service segments.

Lower net income for the first nine months of 2011 compared to the prior year period primarily was due to the reversal of most of our deferred tax asset valuation allowance as discussed above, resulting in a $1.3 million net tax benefit during the third quarter of 2010. Net tax benefits of $0.3 million related to R&D tax credit adjustments recorded during the first three quarters of 2011 also impacted the comparison between periods. Increased operating expenses in 2011 primarily reflect investments in personnel necessary to grow and support the business. Overall gross profit as a percentage of sales rose to 33% in 2011 from 29% in 2010 driven by the shift in mix toward higher margin Service segment business, which helped mitigate the impact on gross margin of lower sales in the Product segment. Service segment gross profit increased 28% primarily due to a 29% increase in Service sales driven by the growth of business in the U.S. and Europe for both new customers and new programs within existing customers. Interest expense was reduced to virtually zero due to minimal usage of the Company’s line of credit over the first nine months of 2011.

For the first nine months of 2011, we had three customers that generated $4.9 million, $4.3 million and $3.2 million, or 25%, 22% and 16%, respectively, of total sales. Of the revenues from these customers, 29% and 71% were included in Product and Service segment sales, respectively. For the first nine months of 2010, we had three customers that generated $7.6 million, $2.8 million and $2.4 million, or 33%, 12% and 10%, respectively, of total sales. Of the revenues from these customers, 47% and 53% were included in Product and Service segment sales, respectively.

Lower Product segment gross profit reflects an 8% decline in sales primarily attributable to the ramp down of certain legacy programs, partially offset by growth in sales to defense and imaging OEMs. Reduced operating leverage on lower sales levels resulted in a slight decline to a 15% gross margin in the third quarter of 2011 compared to 16% in the comparable quarter of 2010.

A 46% decrease in Product sales, including $3.7 million lower sales to OEMs in the telecommunications industry that had especially strong activity in 2010, drove the decline in Product segment gross profit. The continued shift in sales mix to higher margin products and management of manufacturing overhead costs to levels consistent with lower Product revenues helped to reduce the negative impact on gross margins, which fell to 17% for the first nine months of 2011 compared to 19% in the comparable period of 2010 due to reduced operating leverage on 46% lower revenue.

Gross profit in the Service segment increased due to a 14% increase in sales fueled by business growth in the U.S. and Europe for both new customers and new programs within existing customers. A shift in mix toward lower margin programs, as well as investments in overhead to add capability and support future growth, drove a decline in gross profit as a percentage of sales to 42% in the third quarter of 2011 from 47% in the comparable quarter of 2010, despite the overall trend toward higher margin programs.

The improvement in Service segment gross profit was driven by a 29% increase in sales, reflecting business growth in the U.S. and Europe for both new customers and new programs within existing customers. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was flat at 42% in the first nine months of 2011 and 2010, with gains in operating leverage offsetting a third quarter 2011 shift in mix toward lower margin programs and investments in overhead to add capability and support future growth. However, the overall trend within the Service segment continued toward higher margin programs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity and capital resources demonstrate the overall financial strength of the Company and its ability to generate cash flows from operations and borrow funds at competitive rates to meet operating and growth needs.

Our current capital structure consists of stockholders’ equity with a line of credit available to provide supplemental liquidity. The following table summarizes the Company’s capital structure as of the dates indicated:

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.6 million and $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Net income adjusted for the effects of non-cash items, which primarily include deferred income taxes, depreciation expense and inventory reserves, resulted in cash inflows of $1.2 million and $1.8 million in the first nine months of 2011 and 2010, respectively. Changes in working capital resulted in $0.4 million in cash provided for the first nine months of 2011 compared to a net neutral impact for the comparable period of 2010.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities represents additions to property and equipment. Increased activity in 2011 primarily relates to acquisitions of equipment needed to support growth and added capability in the Service segment.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $0.1 million and $1.9 million for the first nine months of 2011 and 2010, respectively. Financing activity in both periods primarily reflects net repayments on the Company’s line of credit. All cash generated by U.S. operations after funding investing activities is applied to any existing balance on the line of credit.

On March 24, 2011, we entered into a Credit Agreement and a Security Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), providing for a revolving credit facility (the “Line”) with a maximum line of credit of $3.0 million, subject to borrowing base restrictions. The borrowing base is determined as follows: 1) the sum of (a) 85% of the aggregate amount of eligible accounts receivable located within the United States, plus (b) 75% of the aggregate amount of eligible accounts receivable located outside of the United States, plus (c) the lesser of 10% of the aggregate amount of eligible inventory or $0.5 million.

The Line is evidenced by a Revolving Line of Credit Note made by the Company in favor of Wells Fargo, and is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company, as provided for in the Security Agreement. The Line is subject to customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations on the Company with respect to liens, indebtedness, guaranties, investments, mergers and dispositions of assets.

The Credit Agreement also contains certain financial covenants, including a maximum ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth, minimum net income on a rolling four-quarter basis, and a minimum debt service coverage ratio. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of September 30, 2011.

The outstanding balance on the Line bears interest monthly at a fluctuating annual rate of 3% above the Daily One Month London Interbank Offered Rate. The Line matures on March 22, 2013.

The Company may use borrowings under the Credit Agreement for general corporate purposes. Any unused portions of the Line will be subject to unused Line fees. Wells Fargo may terminate the Credit Agreement immediately upon default.

On March 24, 2011, in connection with entering into the Credit Agreement and Security Agreement described above, we terminated our prior line of credit agreement with Wells Fargo. The Company did not incur any early termination penalties in connection with the termination of the prior line of credit agreement.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements with (1) any obligation under a guarantee contract; (2) a retained or contingent interest in assets or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets; or (3) any other obligation, including a contingent obligation, under a contract that would be accounted for as a derivative instrument or arising out of a variable interest.

During the normal course of business, we may have numerous outstanding purchase orders with vendors to purchase inventory for use in products that are sold to our customers or are used in performing repair services for our customers. We do not record such orders as liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets until the material is placed on a common carrier or delivered to the Company’s facilities, depending on terms of the arrangement, or when pulled from on-site vendor managed inventory. We have no minimum purchase quantity requirements with any of our vendors.

Critical Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Our most critical estimates include those related to revenue recognition, accounts receivable, inventory, goodwill and income taxes. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP, with no need for judgment in application. In addition, there are areas in which management’s judgment in selecting an available alternative would not produce a materially different result. Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K describes the significant accounting policies and methods used by the Company. We do not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting standards to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Our critical accounting policies have not changed materially from those disclosed in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the “Evaluation Date”). The disclosure controls and procedures are to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No change was made in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s third fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
