The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules or regulations. The interim financial statements are unaudited, and reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in management’s opinion, necessary to present a fair statement of results of the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto in Rand Worldwide Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014. Operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year or any future interim period.

The books of the Company are maintained in United States dollars and this is the Company’s functional reporting currency. Translations denominated in other than the United States dollar are translated as follows with the related transaction gains and losses being recorded in the Statement of Operations:

•

Monetary items are recorded at the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date;

•

Non-monetary items including equity are recorded at the historical rate of exchange; and

•

Revenues and expenses are recorded at the period average in which the transaction occurred.

Certain prior year financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

2. Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information

The Company paid interest of approximately $172,000 and $5,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and approximately $231,000 and $28,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company also paid federal and state income taxes of approximately $428,000 and $57,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and approximately $2.2 million and $142,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The majority of taxes paid during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 were federal income taxes. During the nine months ended March 31, 2014, the Company paid no Federal income taxes because the Company utilized net operating losses to reduce its federal tax liability; taxes paid during that period were state income taxes.

3. Employee Stock Compensation Plans

On November 7, 2012, the Company’s stockholders approved the Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”). The Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors administers the Omnibus Plan and, in that capacity, has the exclusive authority to grant various incentive awards under the Omnibus Plan in the form of stock options, stock awards, stock units, performance units, and other stock-based awards. Up to 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are available for issuance to participants under the Omnibus Plan. The Omnibus Plan is available to all employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, including employees who are officers or members of the Board, and all non-employee directors and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries. Prior to the adoption of the Omnibus Plan, the Board of Directors granted options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant, under the Avatech Solutions, Inc. 2002 Stock Option Plan (the “2002 Option Plan”). The 2002 Option Plan, which expired in August 2012, provided for the granting of either incentive or non-qualified stock options to purchase an aggregate of up to 7,800,000 shares of common stock to eligible employees, officers, and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries.

On September 29, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a planned recapitalization of its balance sheet in order to provide liquidity to its shareholders and to maximize shareholder value. This planned recapitalization process was accomplished through a tender offer which was concluded on November 3, 2014 whereby the Company purchased 25,849,945 shares of its common stock from its shareholders for a price of $1.20 per share. In conjunction with the tender offer, the Company’s Board of Directors voted to accelerate the vesting of all unvested stock options effective September 29, 2014. The Board of Directors also voted to provide option holders the ability to exercise their options under a net-settlement program, whereby the Company issued common shares for the aggregate difference between the exercise price and the $1.20 tender offer price, minus required tax withholdings. There were 1,810,920 options exercised under this program. Stock compensation expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 was $561,000 and includes $476,000 of expense due to the accelerated vesting of options. For the nine months ended March 31, 2014, total stock compensation expense was $238,000.

A summary of stock option activity during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and related information is included in the table below:


	Options			Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at July 1, 2014		3,311,745		$	0.83
Granted		36,000			1.72
Exercised		(2,010,920	)		0.71
Forfeited		(43,500	)		0.80
Expired		—			—

Outstanding at March 31, 2015		1,293,325		$	0.92	$	1,483,000

Exercisable at March 31, 2015		1,269,325		$	0.89	$	1,474,000

Weighted-average remaining contractual life of shares outstanding		6.6 Years

Weighted-average remaining contractual life of shares exercisable		6.6 Years

All options granted have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Exercise prices for options outstanding as of March 31, 2015 ranged from $0.50 to $1.72 as follows:


Range of Exercise Prices	Options Outstanding		Weighted Average Exercise Prices of Options Outstanding		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life of Options Outstanding		Options Exercisable		Weighted Average Exercise Prices of Options Exercisable		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life of Options Exercisable
$0.50 – 0.75		347,975	$	0.70		6.1 years		347,975	$	0.70		6.1 years
0.76 – 1.00		744,100		0.89		7.2 years		744,100		0.89		7.2 years
1.01 – 1.72		201,250		1.42		5.7 years		177,250		1.38		5.1 years

		1,293,325						1,269,325

Assuming that no additional share-based payments are granted after March 31, 2015, $30,000 of compensation expense will be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years.

4. Borrowings Under Line of Credit

On February 29, 2012, the Company entered into an $8 million line of credit facility, including a $1,000,000 sublimit for the issuance of standby or trade letters of credit, with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”). The interest rate was the “Eurodollar Rate”, which was calculated by using the LIBOR rate, plus a margin of 2.0%. The Company had no outstanding borrowings from PNC under its credit line of as of March 31, 2015 or June 30, 2014. The line expired on November 30, 2014.

On November 4, 2014, the Company entered into two credit facilities with JP Morgan Chase Bank National Association (“Chase”) which replaced the Company’s existing facilities with PNC. The first is a five-year $10 million line of credit, secured by all assets of the Company with borrowing levels subject to borrowing base limits. The interest rate on the line of credit is the LIBO rate, plus a margin of 2.5%. The second facility is a five-year $21 million term loan with an interest rate equal to the LIBO rate, plus a margin of 3.15%. The principal of this loan is amortized over five years with quarterly repayments of $787,500 for the first two years, $1,050,000 for the third year, and $1,312,500 for the fourth and fifth years. The new loans contain certain financial covenants including a maximum leverage ratio, a maximum fixed charge coverage ratio, and minimum adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company was in compliance with the loans’ financial covenants during the nine months ended March 31, 2015. The Company had $496,000 of outstanding borrowings from Chase under its line of credit as of March 31, 2015.

5. Obligations Under Capital Leases

The Company has incurred various capital lease obligations for computer equipment. This capital lease obligation totaled $2,000 and $335,000 as of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively.

6. Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets is recorded if, based upon the weight of available

evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company records liabilities for income tax contingencies if it is probable that the Company has incurred a tax liability and the liability or range of loss can be reasonably estimated.

The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance on the entirety of its U.S. capital loss carryforwards, and a portion of its foreign, federal and state net operating loss carryforwards due to uncertainty about its ability to utilize such carryforwards.

The Company believes that its income tax filing positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax returns will more likely than not be sustained upon audit by the taxing authorities and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded. The Company’s income tax returns for the past three years are subject to examination by tax authorities, and may change upon examination.

The Company records interest related to taxes in other expense and records penalties in operating expenses.

7. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is derived by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding after adjusting for the dilutive effect of common shares that could be issued upon the exercise or conversion of common stock equivalents, such as stock options and convertible preferred stock. As of March 31, 2015, 3,021,093 shares of common stock were issuable upon the conversion or exercise of options and preferred stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, there were 0 and 213,500 shares of common stock equivalents, respectively, excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive. For the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, there were 102,250 and 313,500 shares of common stock equivalents, respectively, excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive.

The following tables summarize the computations of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:

8. Preferred Stock

Convertible Preferred Stock

At March 31, 2015, 342,829 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D shares”) were outstanding with the following terms:

Redemption Feature- The Series D shares are redeemable in the event that the Company is engaged in certain business combinations that are approved by the Board of Directors and subsequently submitted and approved by a vote of the Company’s stockholders. Any director who holds shares of Series D is not eligible to vote on the proposed business combination. The redemption price is $0.30 (upon conversion) per share plus an amount equal to all declared and unpaid dividends accrued on such shares since the original issue date.

Voting Rights- Each holder of the Series D shares shall vote together with all other classes and series of stock of the Company as a single class on all actions. Each share shall entitle the holder to one vote per share of common stock into which the preferred stock is then convertible on each such action. In addition, these holders have special voting rights in connection with certain matters, including the issuance of senior stock or debentures, certain mergers, the dissolution of the Company and any amendment to the charter or the terms of the securities that would impair their rights.

Dividend Rate- The holders of the Series D shares are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at a rate of 10% per annum when and as declared by the Board of Directors. Dividends are paid quarterly to preferred stockholders.

Conversion Feature- The Series D shares are convertible at any time beginning 120 days after the original issuance date at the option of the holder and automatically converts into common stock if the common stock trades for more than $2.25 per share for 60 consecutive trading days. Each Series D share is convertible into shares of common stock by multiplying the appropriate conversion rate in effect by the number of shares of preferred stock being converted. As of March 31, 2015, the conversion rate would yield approximately two shares of common stock for each share of Series D share; however, this rate may be adjusted due to stock splits, dividends, and other events defined in the stock purchase agreement between the Company and the holders of the Series D shares.

Liquidation Preference- In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of Series D shares are entitled to receive for each share, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds to the holders of common stock, an amount equal to $0.60 per share plus all accumulated but unpaid dividends. If upon the occurrence of such event, the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders are insufficient to permit the payment of the preferential amount, then the entire assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the preferred stockholders.

At March 31, 2015, 677 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series E shares”) were outstanding with the following terms:

Redemption Feature- The Series E shares are redeemable in the event that the Company is engaged in certain business combinations that are approved by the Board of Directors and subsequently submitted and approved by a vote of the Company’s stockholders. Any director who holds shares of Series E is not eligible to vote on the proposed business combination. The redemption price is $0.65 per share (upon conversion) plus an amount equal to all declared and unpaid dividends accrued on such shares since the original issue date.

Voting Rights- Each holder of the Series E shares shall vote together with all other classes and series of stock of the Company as a single class on all actions. Each share shall entitle the holder to one vote per share of common stock into which the preferred stock is then convertible on each such action. In addition, these holders have special voting rights in connection with certain matters, including the issuance of senior stock or debentures, certain mergers, the dissolution of the Company and any amendment to the charter or the terms of the securities that would impair their rights.

Dividend Rate- The holders of the Series E shares are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at a rate of 10% per annum when and as declared by the Board of Directors. Dividends are paid quarterly to preferred stockholders.

Each Series E share is convertible into shares of common stock by multiplying the appropriate conversion rate in effect by the number of shares of preferred stock being converted. As of March 31, 2015 the conversion rate would yield approximately 1,538.5 shares of common stock for each share of Series E; however, this rate may be adjusted due to stock splits, dividends, and other events defined in the stock purchase agreements between the Company and the holders of the Series E shares.

Liquidation Preference- In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of Series E shares are entitled to receive for each share, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds to the holders of common stock, an amount equal to $0.65 per share (upon conversion) plus all accumulated but unpaid dividends.

9. Discontinued Operations

As part of the Company’s strategy to focus on its core strengths, the Company sold its Rand Secure Data archiving business during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2014. Thus, the results of operations and cash flows from the data archiving business have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company disposed of its operations in Australia, Singapore and Malaysia because those divisions did not align with the current strategic direction of the Company.

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE RELATED NOTES THERETO INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT.

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers of this report should be aware of the speculative nature of “forward-looking statements.” Statements that are not historical in nature, including those that include the words “anticipate,” “estimate,” “should,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” and similar expressions, are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about, among other things, the industry and the markets in which Rand Worldwide, Inc. operates, and they are not guarantees of future performance. Whether actual results will conform to expectations and predictions is subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including risks and uncertainties discussed in this report; general economic, market, or business conditions; changes in interest rates, the cost of funds, and demand for the Company’s products and services; changes in the Company’s competitive position or competitive actions by other companies; the Company’s ability to manage growth; changes in laws or regulations or policies of federal and state regulators and agencies; ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses; and other circumstances beyond the Company’s control. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this report are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that the actual results anticipated will be realized or, if substantially realized, will have the expected consequences on the Company’s business or operations. Except as required by applicable laws, the Company does not intend to publish updates or revisions of any forward-looking statements to reflect new information, future events or otherwise.

When used throughout this report, the terms “Rand Worldwide”, “the Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Rand Worldwide, Inc. and, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, its consolidated subsidiaries.

Overview

Rand Worldwide, Inc. is a leader in design, engineering, and facilities management technology solutions with expertise in computer aided design (“CAD”) software, computational fluid dynamics (“CFD”), data management, and process optimization for the manufacturing, engineering, and building design industries. The Company specializes in software resale, technology consulting, implementation, integration, training, CFD analysis consulting and thermal simulation services and technical support solutions that enable clients to more effectively design, develop, and manage projects, products, and facilities. Rand Worldwide has over 25 years of industry experience and expertise, an extensive list of training and implementation services and longstanding relationships with design technology leaders including Autodesk, ARCHIBUS, Dassault Systèmes and Leica Geosystems. The Company’s clients include businesses, government agencies, and educational institutions.

The Company’s business strategy is built on three core principles designed to leverage its existing strengths with expected market opportunities:

•

Maintain and profitably grow its strong position in the Autodesk software market;

•

Profitably grow its consulting and services business by leveraging its experts in design engineering; and

•

Acquire or license and integrate diverse, yet complementary, software and services businesses to extend its product offerings to its large customer base and expand its market potential.

This strategy was designed to match the Company’s product and service offerings more precisely with the needs of its customers, while providing avenues of growth and diversification.

Discontinued Operations:

As part of the Company’s strategy to focus on its core strengths, the Company divested its Rand Secure Data archiving business. Thus, the results of operations from the archiving business have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Recent Developments

On March 27, 2015, the Company filed a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to deregister its common stock under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and terminate its duty to file certain reports and other documents with the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act, including, among others, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Current Reports on Form 8-K and proxy statements on Schedule 14A. The deregistration will be effective on June 25, 2015, but the Company’s filing obligations under Section 13(a) terminated at the time the Form 15 was filed. In addition, the Company expects that its reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act will be automatically suspended effective July 1, 2015, the first day of its next fiscal year, because the Company anticipates that its common stock will be held by less than 300 owners of record on such date. Pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 12h-3 under the Exchange Act, however, the Company is required to continue filing Exchange Act reports with respect to the remainder of the year ending June 30, 2015, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending June 30, 2015, because the Company updated registration statements on Form S-8, filed under the Securities Act of 1933, during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2015. Notwithstanding the termination and suspension of these Exchange Act reporting obligations, the Company does expect that trading prices for its common stock will continue to be quoted through the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, although no assurance can be given with respect to such continued quotation.

Results of Operations

The following describes the components of each line item of our consolidated statement of operations.

Product Sales- Product sales consist primarily of the resale of packaged design software, including:

•

Autodesk 2D and 3D computer aided design software for customers in the mechanical, architectural and civil engineering sectors, as well as visualization and animation technology to companies in the media and entertainment industry;

•

Autodesk data management software;

•

ARCHIBUS facilities management software for space planning, strategic planning, and lease/property administration;

•

3DExperience design software products from Dassault Systèmes which include CATIA, ENOVIA, SIMULIA, DELMIA, and DMU;

•

Leica 3D laser scanning equipment for the Architectural, Engineering and Construction sector; and

•

ASCENT internally developed courseware for a variety of engineering applications

Service Revenue- The Company provides services in the form of project-focused software implementations, training, consulting services, software development, software customization, supplemental design staffing, drawing digitization, symbol library development, custom courseware development and technical support to its customers. The Company employs a technical staff of over 100 personnel associated with these types of services.

Commission Revenue- The Company offers Autodesk’s subscription programs, which entitle subscribers to receive software upgrades, web support and eLearning lessons directly from Autodesk. Because Rand Worldwide does not participate in the delivery of these subscription products or the web support and eLearning lesson benefits, the Company records the gross profit from the sale of Autodesk software subscriptions as commission revenue. In addition, the Company sells technology upgrades to existing Autodesk customers through the Autodesk Subscription program where the customers receive the latest releases of Autodesk software, incremental product enhancements, and personalized web support direct from Autodesk.

Based on its analysis of the Autodesk Subscription program, Rand Worldwide records the net proceeds that it receives from Autodesk for subscription sales in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605.

The Company also generates commission revenue from the resale of Autodesk software to various customers, a number of which Autodesk considers major and government accounts. Autodesk designates customers as major accounts based on specific criteria, primarily sales volume, and typically gives these customers volume discounts. The Company is responsible for managing and reselling Autodesk products to a number of these major and government account customers; however, software products are shipped directly from Autodesk to the customers. The Company receives commissions upon shipment of the products from Autodesk to the customer based on a percentage of the sales price.

Cost of Product Sales- The cost of product sales consists of the cost of purchasing products from software suppliers or hardware manufacturers as well as the associated shipping and handling costs. The Company earns a volume-based rebate from its primary supplier, Autodesk, paid monthly based on the level of new product and subscription purchases as measured against quarterly targets developed by Autodesk . These rebates serve to reduce the cost of product sales. The Company accrues its rebates the month the underlying sales are posted, in accordance with ASC 605-50, Customer Payments and Incentives. The Company has generally been able to focus its sales efforts in a manner to achieve margins on its product sales that are within a relatively narrow range period to period.

Cost of Service Revenue- Cost of service revenue includes the direct costs associated with the implementation of software and hardware solutions as well as training, support services, and professional services. These costs consist primarily of compensation, travel, literature, and the costs of third-party contractors engaged by the Company. The cost of service revenue does not include an allocation of overhead costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses- Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and other expenses associated with the Company’s sales force, management, finance, human resources, and information systems. Advertising and public relations expenses and expenses for facilities, such as rent and utilities, are also included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense- Depreciation expense represents the period costs associated with our investment in property and equipment, consisting principally of computer equipment, software, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements. Amortization expense represents the period costs of the acquired customer list and trade name intangible assets. The Company computes depreciation and amortization expenses using the straight-line method. The Company leases all of its facilities and depreciates leasehold improvements over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset.

Interest Expense- Interest expense consists of interest on its term note, borrowings from lines of credit, capital lease obligations, and earn-out consideration paid in connection with prior business acquisitions.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014

The following tables set forth a comparison of the Company’s results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 to the three-month period ended March 31, 2014. The amounts are derived from selected items reflected in the Company’s unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations included elsewhere in this report. The three-month financial results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

Revenues


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2015		2014		% change
Revenues:
Product sales	$	12,036,000	$	12,619,000		(4.6	)%
Service revenue		5,079,000		5,180,000		(1.9	)%
Commission revenue		6,359,000		6,947,000		(8.5	)%

Total revenues	$	23,474,000	$	24,746,000		(5.1	)%

Revenues. Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015 decreased by $1,272,000, or 5.1%, when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Product sales decreased $583,000, or 4.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year due to having fewer promotional incentives available from its vendors to drive the level of product sales seen in the comparable quarter of the prior fiscal year.

Service revenues decreased $101,000, or 1.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 when compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year. Training sales decreased slightly over the same period of the prior fiscal year. The Company has recently implemented and continues to develop new service offerings, including training delivery methods, that it expects will better serve the customer base and improve its services revenues.

Commission revenues decreased $588,000, or 8.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 when compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year. During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company sold a higher proportion of multi-year subscriptions, which resulted in fewer subscriptions being available for renewal during the current fiscal quarter, and thus reducing such sales in the period.

Cost of product sales decreased 3.3% during the three months ended March 31, 2015 when compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year, while product sales decreased 4.6% due to a lower margin rate on product sales. The lower product margin rates were the result of product sales including a higher proportion of software upgrades, which earn a lower margin rate, as customers purchased these upgrades prior to their discontinuation during the quarter.

Cost of service revenue increased 2.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, while service revenues decreased 1.9%. Cost of service revenues increased primarily as the result of having a higher proportion of projects involving subcontracted services in order to provide customers with a wide array of services not traditionally performed from within the organization such as drafting, 3D scanning, and air flow analysis.

Gross margin. The Company’s overall gross margin percentage decreased to 51.8% from 53.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 when compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year. The revenue mix during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 had a lower proportion of commission revenues, which are 100% margin, resulting in the decreased overall gross margin rate.

Total other expense	$	(496,000	)	$	(157,000	)		215.9	%

Other Expense. The Company incurred $496,000 in other expense during the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to $157,000 during the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase was due to the increased interest expense resulting from a new $21 million term loan (the “Chase Loan”) from JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“Chase”) combined with increased foreign currency exchange losses. See the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for further information regarding the Company’s credit facilities.

Income Tax Expense


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2015			2014			% change
Income tax expense	$	(1,324,000	)	$	(1,291,000	)		2.6	%

Income Tax Expense. The Company recorded $1,324,000 of income tax expense during the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to $1,291,000 in income tax expense recorded for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The Company’s effective income tax rate increased to 41.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared with 31.9% for the same quarter of the prior year. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, a larger share of taxable income was attributable to the U.S. rather than Canada, compared to the same quarter of the current fiscal year. Because the Company had available Canadian net operating loss carryforwards which were fully offset by valuation allowances, its effective tax rate was lower on its income attributed to Canada than it was for income attributed to the U.S.

At March 31, 2015, the Company had U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income of approximately $27.7 million; however, $23.0 million of these carryforwards are not recognized because they are subject to annual limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and are expected to expire before being utilized. In addition, at March 31, 2015, the Company had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $10.8 million available to reduce future taxable income which are set to expire between 2028 and 2031.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company maintained a valuation allowance of $11 million due to the expected expiration of net operating losses carryforward prior to utilization, capital losses and a portion of state net operating loss carryforwards. The valuation allowances are evaluated quarterly to determine the appropriate allowance amount.

Excluding this one-time large sale, product sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 increased by $2.8 million, or 8.8%, over the equivalent period of the prior fiscal year, driven by vendor-subsidized discounts and other promotional incentives on software upgrades.

Service revenues increased $22,000, or 0.1%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 when compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year.

At March 31, 2015, the Company had U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income of approximately $27.7 million; however, $23.0 million of these carryforwards were not recognized because they are subject to annual limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and are expected to expire before being utilized.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, the Company has financed its operations and met its capital expenditure requirements primarily through cash flows provided by operations and borrowings under short-term debt arrangements.

On February 29, 2012, the Company entered into an $8 million line of credit facility, including a $1,000,000 sublimit for the issuance of standby or trade letters of credit, with PNC Bank, National Association. The interest rate was the “Eurodollar Rate”, which was calculated by using the LIBO rate, plus a margin of 2.0%. The Company had no outstanding borrowings from the bank under its credit line of as of March 31, 2015 or June 30, 2014. The line expired on November 30, 2014.

On November 3, 2014 the Company completed a tender offer and repurchased 25,849,945 shares of the Company’s common stock from existing shareholders. This buyback was financed through a $21 million term loan, a $10 million line of credit as well as the Company’s then-existing cash surplus. The line of credit is secured by all assets of the Company with borrowing levels subject to borrowing base limits and bears interest at the LIBO rate, plus a margin of 2.5%. The term loan bears interest rate at the LIBO rate, plus a margin of 3.15%. The principal of the loan will be amortized over five years with quarterly repayments of $787,500 for the first two years, $1,050,000 for the third year, and $1,312,500 for the fourth and fifth years. The Company had $496,000 of outstanding borrowings from Chase under its line of credit as of March 31, 2015.

The Company’s operating assets and liabilities consist primarily of accounts receivable, cash, borrowings under line of credit, current portion of long-term debt, accounts payable and deferred revenue. Changes in these balances are affected principally by the timing of sales, collections and vendor payments. The Company purchases approximately 96% of its product from one principal supplier that provides it with credit to finance those purchases.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2015, net cash provided by operating activities was $3,752,000, compared to $7,450,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease was due mainly to increased payments of accounts payable and income taxes, partially offset by increased collections in accounts receivable.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2015, net cash provided by investing activities was $224,000, compared with net cash used in investing activities of $689,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2014. The difference was due to decreased purchases of equipment, as well as cash proceeds received from the sale of the Rand Secure Data Division during the first quarter of this fiscal year.

Net cash used in financing activities was $12,011,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared with net cash provided by financing activities of $34,000 for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The difference resulted mainly from the transactions associated with the tender offer including the $31 million paid out for the stock buyback, offset by $21 million in proceeds from the new term note during the current fiscal year. The Company also repaid $2.3 million against its term note during the nine months ended March 31, 2015, including $1.5 million in prepayments. The second scheduled principal payment of $787,500 was paid in early April 2015.

The Company had a working capital surplus of $651,000 as of March 31, 2015 and had $9.5 million of borrowing capacity available under its line of credit.

Because the Company is one of the largest resellers of Autodesk software and because Autodesk has continued to state its intention to continue to strengthen its relationships with its resellers, the Company expects to continue to be a leading seller of Autodesk software. The Company is a party to a Value Added Reseller Agreement with Autodesk effective February 1, 2015. The agreement provides for an initial term of twelve months that, subject to certain requirements and termination rights of the parties, automatically renews on an annual basis for two additional twelve-month periods. The agreement designates the Company as an authorized reseller of Autodesk software and prescribes the authorized sales territories, authorized products and services, rebate and incentive program details and marketing support.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized

and reported within the periods specified in those rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including its principal executive officer (“CEO”) and its principal financial and accounting officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

An evaluation of the effectiveness of these disclosure controls as of March 31, 2015 was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the CEO and the CFO. Based on that evaluation, management, including the CEO and the CFO, has concluded that, as of that date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were, in fact, effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
