NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013

(currency and share amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

(unaudited)

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

SYNNEX Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, herein referred to as “SYNNEX” or the “Company”) is a business process services company, optimizing supply chains and providing customer care solutions for its clients. SYNNEX is headquartered in Fremont, California and has operations in North America, South America, Asia, Australia and Europe.

The Company operates in two segments: distribution services, hereinafter referred to as Technology Solutions, and global business services, hereinafter referred to as Concentrix. The Technology Solutions segment distributes a broad range of information technology (“IT”) systems and products, and also provides systems design and integration services. The Concentrix segment offers a portfolio of end-to-end outsourced services around process optimization, customer engagement strategy and back-office automation to clients in ten identified industry verticals.

The accompanying interim unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of August 31, 2014 and for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013 have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The amounts as of November 30, 2013 have been derived from the Company’s annual audited financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the financial position of the Company and its results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2013.

The results of operations for the three months ended August 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2014, or any future period and the Company makes no representations related thereto.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2013.

For a discussion of the significant accounting policies, please see the discussion in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2013.

Restricted cash

Restricted cash balances relate primarily to temporary restrictions caused by the timing of lockbox collections under the Company’s borrowing arrangements.

(unaudited)

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are maintained with high quality institutions, the compositions and maturities of which are regularly monitored by management. Through August 31, 2014, the Company had not experienced any losses on such deposits.

Accounts receivable include amounts due from customers and vendors primarily in the technology industry. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and limits the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary, but generally requires no collateral. The Company also maintains allowances for potential credit losses. In estimating the required allowances, the Company takes into consideration the overall quality and aging of the receivable portfolio, the existence of a limited amount of credit insurance and specifically identified customer and vendor risks. Through August 31, 2014, such losses have been within management’s expectations.

In both the three and nine months ended August 31, 2014, no customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company's total revenue. In both the three and nine months ended August 31, 2013, one customer accounted for 10% of the Company's total revenue. Products purchased from the Company’s largest OEM supplier, Hewlett-Packard Company (“HP”), accounted for approximately 25% and 26% of total revenue for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2014, respectively, and for approximately 30% and 31% of total revenue for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2013, respectively.

As of both August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, no customer exceeded 10% of the total consolidated accounts receivable balance.

Revenue recognition

Technology Solutions

The Company generally recognizes revenue on the sale of hardware and software products when they are shipped and on services when they are performed, if a purchase order exists, the sales price is fixed or determinable, collection of resulting accounts receivable is reasonably assured, risk of loss and title have transferred and product returns are reasonably estimable. Provisions for sales returns and allowances are estimated based on historical data and are recorded concurrently with the recognition of revenue. These provisions are reviewed and adjusted periodically by the Company. Revenue is presented net of taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities. Revenue is reduced for early payment discounts and volume incentive rebates offered to customers. The Company recognizes revenue on a net basis on certain contracts, including service contracts, post-contract software support services and extended warranty contracts, where it is not the primary obligor, by recognizing the margins earned in revenue with no associated cost of revenue.

Concentrix

The Company recognizes revenue from business process outsourcing service contracts when evidence of an arrangement exists, services are delivered, fees are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Service contracts may be based on a fixed price or on a fixed unit-price per transaction or other objective measure of output. Revenue on fixed price contracts is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract as services are provided. Revenue on unit-price transactions is recognized using an objective measure of output including staffing hours or the number of transactions processed by service agents. Client contract terms typically can span from less than one year to over five years.

Recurring operating costs for services contracts, including costs related to bid and proposal activities, are recognized as expenses as incurred. Where a contract requires an up-front investment, which typically includes transition and set-up costs related to systems and processes, these amounts are deferred and costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit, not to exceed the fixed term of the contract.

Earnings per common share

Earnings per common share-basic is computed by dividing the net income attributable to SYNNEX Corporation for the period by the basic weighted-average number of outstanding common shares.

SYNNEX CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS---(continued)

For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013

(currency and share amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

(unaudited)

Earnings per common share-diluted is computed by adding the dilutive effect of in-the-money employee stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and similar equity instruments granted by the Company to the basic weighted-average number of outstanding common shares. The Company uses the treasury stock method, under which the amount the employee must pay for exercising stock options, the amount of compensation cost for future services that the Company has not yet recognized and the amount of tax benefits that would be recorded in “Additional paid-in capital” when the award becomes deductible are assumed to be used to repurchase shares.

It was the Company’s intent to settle the principal amount of the 4.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2018 (the "Convertible Senior Notes") in cash; accordingly, the principal amount was excluded from the determination of diluted earnings per share. In April 2013, the Company decided to settle the payment of the conversion premium in cash as discussed in Note 11 — Convertible Debt. Through April 2013, the Company accounted for the conversion premium using the treasury stock method by adjusting the diluted weighted-average common shares if the effect was dilutive. From April 2013 through the date of settlement in August 2013, the numerator for the computation of earnings per common share-diluted was adjusted for the changes in the estimated value of the conversion premium until the final settlement date.

The calculation of earnings per common share attributable to SYNNEX Corporation is presented in Note 12.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to conform to current period presentation. Such reclassifications have no effect on the cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities as previously reported.

Effective in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company realigned its business segments. Certain operations of the Company that were previously reported under the Concentrix segment and that primarily provided inter-segment support and IT services have now been aligned with, and report into, the Technology Solutions segment. The financial information presented herein reflects the impact of the preceding segment structure change for all periods presented.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued a new accounting standard that will require the presentation of certain unrecognized tax benefits as reductions to deferred tax assets rather than as liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The new accounting update will be applicable to the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2015; however, early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The adoption of this new standard will not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard for contracts with customers that will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of this standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, the standard provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include the capitalization and amortization of certain contract costs, ensuring the time value of money is considered in the transaction price, and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. This guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is prohibited. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. This guidance will be applicable to the Company at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements upon the adoption of this new standard.

During fiscal year 2014, the following accounting standard was adopted

In February 2013, the FASB issued an accounting update that requires companies to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. The amendments are effective

prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the accounting update in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014.

NOTE 3—ACQUISITIONS:

Fiscal year 2014 acquisitions

IBM customer care business acquisition

On September 10, 2013, the Company announced a definitive agreement to acquire the assets of the customer care business of International Business Machines Corporation, a New York corporation (“IBM”) for a preliminary aggregate purchase price of $503,433 subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The preliminary purchase price will be adjusted for the difference between $100,000 and the final amount of net tangible assets acquired excluding certain defined employee liabilities. The transaction is being completed in phases with the initial closing completed on January 31, 2014 and the second phase closing completed on April 30, 2014. The countries acquired through August 31, 2014 comprise approximately 99% of the preliminary valuation of the customer care business. The final closing was completed on September 30, 2014. As of August 31, 2014, the Company was obligated to pay an additional amount of $40,000 in cash, including amounts towards the subsequently closed countries, upon completion of the final phase closing.

The acquisition has been included into the Concentrix segment. It expands the Company's service portfolio, delivery capabilities and geographic reach, and adds further process expertise and managerial talent to the Concentrix segment.

The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their preliminary fair values as of the respective closing dates. The total preliminary purchase price consideration for the initial and second phase closings is as follows:



Preliminary purchase consideration for the initial and second phase closings:	Fair Value
Cash payment	$	390,000
Stock consideration	71,106
Cash consideration payable	37,004
Preliminary fair value of stock awards assumed	2,327
	$	500,437

The Company issued 1,266 shares of its common stock, at a fair value of $71,106 based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions Tape as of the date of issuance. Additionally, the Company assumed unvested restricted IBM stock-based awards with a preliminary estimated fair value of $11,003 on the respective closing dates. The Company exchanged the acquisition date fair value of the unvested restricted IBM stock awards of employees with the Company's equity-based awards or cash settled with deferred payouts. The fair value of the replaced IBM awards was based on the market value of the Company’s common stock on the respective closing dates of the initial and second phase closings. The fair value of the cash settled awards was based on IBM’s stock price on the acquisition date, adjusted for the exclusion of dividend equivalents. Of the replacement equity and cash settlement awards, a portion relating to the pre-combination service period was preliminarily allocated to the purchase consideration and the remainder of the preliminary estimated fair value will be expensed over the remaining service periods on a straight-line basis.

The total preliminary purchase price has been allocated between the acquisition of the IBM customer care business and a separate element representing IBM-initiated prepaid compensation plans. Of the total $16,321 prepaid amount, $13,232 was recorded in "Other current assets" and $3,089 in "Other assets" and is being expensed to "Selling, general and administrative expenses" over the requisite service period.

The portion of the preliminary purchase price for the acquisition was allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets based on their preliminary fair values as of January 31, 2014 and April 30, 2014 for the initial and second phase closings, respectively. The excess of the purchase price over the preliminary net tangible assets and preliminary intangible assets was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill balance is attributed to the assembled workforce and expanded market opportunities due to the comprehensive service portfolio delivery capabilities and geographic reach resulting from the acquisition. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price was based upon a preliminary valuation and the Company's estimates and assumptions are

subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the fair values of certain tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the valuation of intangible assets acquired, fair value of operating leases assumed, income and non-income based taxes and residual goodwill. The Company expects to continue to obtain information for the purpose of determining the fair value of the net assets acquired at the closing dates during the measurement period and the amount of goodwill that will be deductible for tax purposes.

The total preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows:



Preliminary purchase price allocation:	Fair Value
Accounts receivable	$	25,742
Other current assets	24,947
Property, plant and equipment	47,577
Goodwill	183,635
Intangible assets	263,532

Accrued liabilities	(16,758		)
Other long-term liabilities	(2,528		)
Deferred tax liabilities, non-current	(14,727		)
	$	500,437

The identifiable intangible assets acquired and their estimated useful lives are summarized as follows:



	Preliminary Fair Value		Weighted Average Useful Life
Customer relationships	$	251,332	10 years
Technology	7,500		5-10 years
Trade names	4,700		5 years
Total intangibles acquired	$	263,532

Amortization of customer relationships and trade names is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Amortization of technology is recorded in cost of revenue.

During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2014, the IBM customer care business contributed approximately $280,000 and $600,000, respectively, of revenue to the Company's total consolidated results of operations. Earnings contributed by the acquired business are not separately identifiable. Acquisition and integration expenses were $9,932 and $34,715 during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2014, respectively, and consist of costs incurred to complete the acquisition and related restructuring, integration and retention payments. Substantially all of the acquisition and integration expenses were recorded in "Selling, general and administrative expenses".

Fiscal year 2013 acquisitions

In April 2013, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Supercom Canada Limited ("Supercom Canada"), a distributor of IT and consumer electronics products and services in Canada. The purchase price was approximately CAD37,593, or US$36,665, in cash, including CAD4,450, or US$4,340, in deferred payments, subject to certain post-closing conditions, payable within 18 months. The Company has paid CAD1,800, or US$1,646, of the deferred amount as of August 31, 2014. Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company repaid debt and working capital lines in the amount of US$53,721 Based on the purchase price allocation, the Company recorded net tangible assets of US$26,912 goodwill of US$5,384 and intangible assets of US$4,369 in relation to this acquisition. This acquisition did not meet the conditions of a material business combination and was not subject to the disclosure requirements of accounting guidance for business combinations utilizing the purchase method of accounting. The acquisition is integrated into the Technology Solutions segment and has expanded the Company's existing product and service offerings in Canada.

NOTE 4—SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION:

The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and employee stock purchases, based on estimated fair values.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate fair value of stock options. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of short-lived exchange traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option-pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the option’s expected life and the price volatility of the underlying stock. The expected stock price volatility assumption was determined using historical volatility of the Company’s common stock.

The following table summarizes the number of share-based awards granted under the Company’s 2013 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2014 and the Company's Amended and Restated 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2013 and the grant-date fair value of the awards:

NOTE 6—INVESTMENTS:

The carrying amount of the Company’s investments is shown in the table below:

Cost-method investments	4,951		—		4,951		4,981		—		4,981

Short-term trading securities generally consist of equity securities relating to the Company’s deferred compensation plan. Long-term available-for-sale securities primarily consist of investments in other companies’ equity securities. Held-to-maturity investments primarily consist of term deposits with maturities from the date of purchase greater than three months and less than one year. These term deposits are held until the maturity date and are not traded. Short-term cost-method securities primarily consist of investments in a hedge fund under the Company’s deferred compensation plan. Long-term cost-method investments consist of investments in equity securities of private entities.

Trading securities and available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value in each reporting period and therefore the carrying value of these securities equals their fair value. For cost-method securities, the Company records an impairment charge when the decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary. The fair value of the cost-method investments is based on the published fund values or an internal valuation of the investee.

The following table summarizes the total gains recorded in “Other income (expense), net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for changes in the fair value of the Company's trading investments:



	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	August 31, 2014		August 31, 2013		August 31, 2014		August 31, 2013
Gains on trading investments	$	69	$	142	$	383	$	1,382

NOTE 7—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS:

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk, interest risk, equity risk and credit risk. The Company’s transactions in most of its foreign operations are primarily denominated in local currency. The Company enters into transactions, and owns monetary assets and liabilities, that are denominated in currencies other than the legal entity's functional currency.

As part of its risk management strategy, the Company uses short-term forward contracts to minimize its balance sheet exposure to foreign currency risk. These forward-exchange contracts are not designated as hedging instruments. The forward exchange contracts are recorded at fair value in each reporting period and any gains or losses, resulting from the changes in fair value, are recorded in earnings in the period of change.

Generally, the Company does not use derivative instruments to cover equity risk and credit risk. The Company’s policy is not to allow the use of derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The fair value of the Company’s forward exchange contracts are also disclosed in Note 8.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts as of August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013:



	Fair Value as of
Balance Sheet Line Item	August 31, 2014		November 30, 2013

The notional amounts of the foreign exchange forward contracts that were outstanding as of August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013 were $320,165 and $158,950, respectively. The notional amounts represent the gross amounts of foreign currency, including Euro, British Pound, Japanese Yen, Canadian Dollar and India Rupee, that will be bought or sold at maturity. The contracts mature in six months or less. In relation to its forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments, the Company recorded gains of $2,315 and $3,477 in “Other income (expense), net” during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2014, respectively, and $1,254 and $7,734 during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2013, respectively.

NOTE 8—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:

The Company’s fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;

Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Company’s investments and financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:



	As of August 31, 2014								As of November 30, 2013

Acquisition-related contingent consideration	867		—		—		867		6,077		—		—		6,077

The Company's cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid investments in money market funds and term deposits with maturity periods of three months or less. The carrying value of the cash equivalents approximates the fair value since they are near their maturity. Investments in trading and available-for-sale securities consist of equity securities and are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices. The fair values of forward exchange contracts are measured based on the foreign currency spot and forward rates quoted by the banks or foreign currency dealers.

The acquisition-related contingent consideration liability represents the future potential earn-out payments relating to acquisitions. The fair values of the contingent consideration liabilities are based on the Company’s probability assessment of the established profitability measures during the periods ranging from one year to three years from the date of the acquisitions. The change in the carrying value of the liability is primarily due to $5,136 paid to the sellers, during the nine months ended August 31, 2014, for the achievement of earn-out targets.

The carrying value of held-to-maturity securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt, approximate fair value due to their short maturities and the interest rates which are variable in nature. The carrying value of the Company's term loans approximate their fair value since they bear interest rates that are similar to existing market rates.

During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2014, there were no transfers between the fair value measurement category levels.

NOTE 9—ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARRANGEMENTS:

The Company primarily finances its United States operations with an accounts receivable securitization program (the “U.S. Arrangement”). Until September 2013, the Company’s subsidiary, which is the borrower under the U.S. Arrangement, could borrow up to a maximum of $400,000 in U.S. trade accounts receivable (“U.S. Receivables”). In September 2013, the Company amended the U.S Arrangement to increase the commitment of the lenders to $500,000. In addition, the amendment also included an accordion feature to allow requests for an increase in the lenders' commitment by an additional $100,000 to a maximum commitment of $600,000. The maturity date of the U.S. Arrangement is October 18, 2015. The effective borrowing cost under the U.S. Arrangement is a blended rate that includes prevailing dealer commercial paper rates and the daily London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), plus a program fee of 0.425% per annum based on the used portion of the commitment, and a facility fee of 0.425% per annum payable on the aggregate commitment of the lenders. As of August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, there were $466,300 and $144,000, respectively, of borrowings outstanding under the U.S. Arrangement.

Under the terms of the U.S. Arrangement, the Company sells, on a revolving basis, its U.S. Receivables to a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary. The borrowings are funded by pledging all of the rights, title and interest in and to the U.S. Receivables acquired by the Company's subsidiary as security. Any borrowings under the U.S. Arrangement are recorded as debt on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. As is customary in trade accounts receivable securitization arrangements, a credit rating agency's downgrade of the third party issuer of commercial paper or of a back-up liquidity provider (which provides a source of funding if the commercial paper market cannot be accessed) could result in an increase in the Company's cost of borrowing or loss of the Company's financing capacity under these programs if the commercial paper issuer or liquidity back-up provider is not replaced, or if the lender whose commercial paper issuer or liquidity back-up provider is not replaced does not elect to offer the Company an alternative rate. Loss of such financing capacity could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

The Company also has other financing agreements in North America with various financial institutions (“Flooring Companies”) to allow certain customers of the Company to finance their purchases directly with the Flooring Companies. Under these agreements, the Flooring Companies pay to the Company the selling price of products sold to various customers, less a discount, within approximately 15 to 30 days from the date of sale. The Company is contingently liable to repurchase inventory sold under flooring agreements in the event of any default by its customers under the agreement and such inventory being repossessed by the Flooring Companies. Please see Note 17—Commitments and Contingencies for further information.

The following table summarizes the net sales financed through the flooring agreements and the flooring fees incurred:



	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	August 31, 2014		August 31, 2013		August 31, 2014		August 31, 2013

Flooring fees⁽¹⁾	2,344		1,420		5,836		3,864

____________________________________


(1)	Flooring fees are included within “Interest expense and finance charges, net.”

As of August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, accounts receivable subject to flooring agreements were $94,268 and $89,589, respectively.

$218,870 was paid in cash in August 2013 and was comprised of $143,750 in principal payments and $75,120 in payment of the conversion premium. The conversion premium, which represents the total settlement amount less the principal, was recorded as a reduction of "Additional paid-in capital.” The final settlement amount was calculated in accordance with the Indenture based on the volume weighted-average trading price of the Company's common stock over the 60 consecutive trading-day period beginning on and including the third trading day after the related conversion.

NOTE 12—EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE:

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the periods indicated:



	Three Months Ended					Nine Months Ended
	August 31, 2014		August 31, 2013			August 31, 2014		August 31, 2013

Conversion premium of convertible debt	—		—			—		468
Weighted-average common shares - diluted	39,270		37,559			38,907		37,820

Earnings per share attributable to SYNNEX Corporation:
Basic	$	1.16	$	1.26		$	3.21	$	3.01
Diluted	$	1.15	$	0.19		$	3.16	$	1.97

It was the Company’s intent to settle the principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes in cash; accordingly, the principal amount was excluded from the determination of diluted earnings per share. In April 2013, the Company decided to settle the payment of the conversion premium in cash as discussed in Note 11 — Convertible Debt. Through April 2013, the Company accounted for the conversion premium using the treasury stock method by adjusting the diluted weighted-average common shares if the effect was dilutive. For the three months ended August 31, 2013, the numerator for the computation of earnings per common share-diluted was adjusted for any dilutive changes in the estimated value of the conversion premium from May 31, 2013 through the final settlement date. For the nine months ended August 31, 2013, the numerator for the computation of diluted earnings per common share was adjusted for any dilutive changes in the estimated value of the conversion premium from April 2013 through the final settlement date. For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2013, the adjustment to the numerator had the effect of reducing the diluted earnings per share by $1.05 and $0.96, respectively.

Options to purchase 16 and 12 shares during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2014, respectively, and options to purchase 10 shares during the nine months ended August 31, 2013, have not been included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. No options were anti-dilutive for the three months ended August 31, 2013.

NOTE 17—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

The Company was contingently liable as of August 31, 2014 under agreements to repurchase repossessed inventory acquired by flooring companies as a result of default on floor plan financing arrangements by the Company's customers. These arrangements are described in Note 9—Accounts Receivable Arrangements. Losses, if any, would be the difference between the repossession cost and the resale value of the inventory. There have been no repurchases through August 31, 2014 under these agreements and the Company is not aware of any pending customer defaults or repossession obligations.

From time to time, the Company receives notices from third parties, including customers and suppliers, seeking indemnification, payment of money or other actions in connection with claims made against them. Also, the Company is involved in various bankruptcy preference actions where the Company was a supplier to the companies now in bankruptcy. In addition, the Company is subject to various other claims, both asserted and unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company is currently not involved in any material proceedings.

In January 2014, the Company received a Civil Investigative Demand in connection with a Federal Trade Commission investigation concerning the use of a database program (the "database program") that has operated for several years under the auspices of the Global Technology Distribution Council ("GTDC"), a trade group of which the Company is a member. Certain GTDC members who participate in the program provide sales data to a third party independent contractor chosen by the GTDC. The contractor aggregates the data and makes it available to program participants. The Company understands that other GTDC members participating in the program have received similar Civil Investigative Demands.

In July 2014, the Company completed its response to the Civil Investigative Demand. The Civil Investigative Demand merely sought information, and no proceedings have been instituted against any person. The Company does not have any reason to believe that there has been any conduct by the Company or its employees that would be actionable under the antitrust laws in connection with its participation in the database program. As this matter is at a preliminary stage, it is not possible to predict the potential impact, if any, of the Civil Investigative Demand or whether any actions may be instituted by the FTC against any person.

In December 2009, the Company sold China Civilink (Cayman), which operated in China as HiChina Web Solutions, to Alibaba.com Limited. In conjunction with this sale, the Company has recorded a contingent indemnification liability of $4,122.

The Company does not believe that the above commitments and contingencies will have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

NOTE 18—SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

On September 29, 2014, the Company announced the initiation of a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of its common stock. An initial quarterly cash dividend of $0.125 per common share will be payable on October 31, 2014 to the shareholders of record as of the close of business on October 17, 2014.

We are a Fortune 500 corporation and a leading business process services company, offering a comprehensive range of services to resellers, retailers, original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, financial and insurance institutions and several other industry verticals worldwide. Our primary business process services are wholesale IT distribution and business process outsourcing, or BPO, customer care service. We operate in two segments: distribution services, hereinafter referred to as Technology Solutions, and global business services, hereinafter referred to as Concentrix. Our Technology Solutions segment distributes peripherals, IT systems including data center server and storage solutions, system components, software, networking equipment, CE, and complementary products.

Our Concentrix segment offers a portfolio of end-to-end outsourced services around process optimization, customer engagement strategy and back-office automation to clients in ten identified industry verticals.

On January 31, 2014, under the terms of a Master Asset Purchase Agreement, we completed the initial closing of our acquisition of the assets of the customer care business of International Business Machines Corporation, or IBM. On April 30, 2014, we completed the second phase of the acquisition of IBM’s customer care business. The preliminary aggregate purchase price of $503.4 million is subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The preliminary purchase price will be adjusted for the difference between $100.0 million and the final amount of net tangible assets acquired excluding certain defined employee liabilities. The countries acquired through August 31, 2014 comprise approximately 99% of the preliminary valuation of the customer care business. The final closing was completed on September 30, 2014. As of August 31, 2014, we were obligated to pay an additional amount of $40.0 million in cash, including amounts towards the subsequently closed countries, upon completion of the final phase closing. The acquisition has been integrated into our Concentrix segment. The acquisition in its entirety, including subsequent closures, adds over 35,000 employees in five continents, providing business process outsourcing delivery capabilities to approximately 170 customers in 25 countries.

We combine our core strengths in distribution with our customer engagement services to help our customers achieve greater efficiencies in time to market, cost minimization, real-time linkages in the supply chain and after-market product support.

The revenues attributable to countries are based on geographical locations from which the products are distributed and from where customer service contracts are managed.

In our Technology Solutions segment, we purchase peripherals, IT systems, system components, software, networking equipment, including CE and complementary products from our primary suppliers such as Hewlett-Packard Company, or HP, Lenovo, AsusTek Computer Inc., Beats Electronics LLC and Seagate Technologies LLC and sell them to our reseller and retail customers.
