We provide products and services from many of our key suppliers in all of our geographic markets; however, certain suppliers only allow distribution to specific geographies. We typically purchase products directly from the supplier and our supplier agreements generally do not restrict us from selling similar or competitive products or services. We have the flexibility to terminate or curtail sales of one product line in favor of another due to technological change, pricing considerations, product availability, customer demand or supplier distribution policies.
Products from three suppliers, Avaya, Cisco and Zebra, each constituted more than 10% of our net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.
We have two non-exclusive agreements with Avaya.

Brazil and has a two year term. Each of these agreements must be renewed by written agreement. Either party may terminate the agreement upon 30 days' notice to the other party.

We have two non-exclusive agreements with Zebra. One agreement covers sales of Zebra products in North and South America, and the other agreement covers sales of Zebra products in Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA"). The Zebra agreements each have a one year term that automatically renews for additional one year terms, and either party may terminate the agreement upon 30 days' notice to the other party.

In addition to the agreements mentioned above, we have written agreements with almost all of our other suppliers. These agreements generally include the following terms:

Non-exclusive distribution rights to resell products and related services in geographical areas (vendor agreements often include territorial restrictions that limit the countries in which we can sell their products and services).
Short-term periods, subject to periodic renewal, and provide for termination by either party without cause upon 30 to 120 days' notice.
Stock rotation rights, which give us the ability, subject to limitations, to return for credit or exchange a portion of the items purchased.
Price protection provisions, which enables us to take a credit for declines in inventory value resulting from the vendor's price reductions.

Along with our inventory management policies and practices, these stock rotation rights and price protection provisions are designed to reduce our risk of loss due to slow-moving inventory, vendor price reductions, product updates and obsolescence.
We participate in various rebate, cash discount and cooperative marketing programs offered by our suppliers to support expenses associated with selling and marketing the suppliers' products and services. These rebates and purchase discounts are largely influenced by sales volumes and are subject to change.
Our suppliers generally warrant their products we sell and allow returns of defective products, including those returned to us by our customers. For three of our product offerings, we offer a self-branded warranty program. We purchase contracts from unrelated third parties, generally the original equipment manufacturers, to fulfill our obligations to service or replace defective product claimed on these warranty programs. To maintain customer relations, we also facilitate returns of defective products from our customers by accepting for exchange, with our prior approval, most defective products within 30 days of invoicing. In addition, local laws may in some cases impose warranty obligations on the Company.

Industry Overview

Our People
The distribution channels for specialty technology products generally consiststrength of manufacturers (also referred to as vendors), wholesale distributors such as ScanSource, resellers and end users. The "sales channel" for specialty technology products typically evolves through a three-stage process: (i) direct sales by manufacturers to end-users; (ii) single-tier distribution in which manufacturers sell to resellers who, in turn, sell directly to end users; and (iii) two-tier, or wholesale distribution, in which manufacturers sell to wholesale distributors, including ScanSource, who sell only to resellers, who, in turn, sell directly to end users. Currently, the wholesale distribution channel for technology productsour Company is served by both broad line and specialty distributors. The broad line distributors are engaged primarily in conventional order fulfillment and typically offer their reseller customers less support and fewer value-added services than do specialty distributors. The specialty distributors that compete with ScanSource are generally smaller, both in terms of size and geographic area covered.

Competition among an expanding number of manufacturers typically causes product prices to decrease and product applications to expand, which has resulted in an increasing number of resellers entering the market in order to support a broader base of potential end users. As the number of resellers and end-users has grown, competition among manufacturers and within the reseller channel has intensified. Because many specialty technology manufacturers develop products that represent only one part of a total solution, most products eventually are developed to provide interoperability among products from multiple manufacturers. As a result of interoperability, a variety of manufacturers' products typically are configuredour people, working together to create a system solution. Therefore, both manufacturers and resellers have become more dependent upon value-added wholesale distributors, such as ScanSource, for the aggregationhelp our customers grow their businesses. As of products and reseller support services, as well as the organization and maintenance of an efficient market structure.
In addition, manufacturers that face declining product prices and rising costs of direct sales increasingly rely upon value-added wholesale distributors by outsourcing certain support functions, such as product assortment, delivery, inventory management, technical assistance and marketing. At the same time, shortened product life cycles and the introduction of new products and applications have caused resellers to increasingly rely on wholesale distributors for various inventory management, financing, technical support and related functions. The Company believes that, as the reseller market grows and becomes more fragmented, and as specialty technology products continue to transition to open systems, the wholesale distribution channel in which the Company operates will become increasingly more important.

These risks should be considered in connection with evaluating an investment in our company and, in particular, the forward-looking statements contained in this Report because these risks could cause the actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. Additionally, there are other risks which could impact us that we may not describe, because we currently do not perceive them to be material or because they are presently unknown, which could impact us.unknown. If any of these risks develops into actual events, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be negatively affected, the market price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment in our common stock. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise any risk factors, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

International operations - Our international operations expose us to risks that are different from, and possibly greater than, the risks we are exposed to domestically.

Index to Financial Statements



We currently have significant facilities outside the United States, and a significant portion of our revenue is derived from our international operations. These operations are subject to a variety of risks that are different from the risks that we face domestically or are similar risks but with potentially greater exposure. These risks include:

Fluctuations of foreign currency, exchange rates, which can impact sales, costs of the goods we sell, and the reporting of our results and assets on our financial statements;
Difficulties in collecting accounts receivable and longer collection periods;
Changes in, or expiration of, various foreign incentives that provide economic benefits to us;
Labor laws that impact our ability to hire, retain, and discharge employees;
Difficulties in staffing and managing operations in foreign countries;
Changes in international trade laws, such as the North American Free Trade Agreement, affecting our import and export activities, including export license requirements, restrictions on the export of certain technology, and tariff changes;
Changes in the interpretation and enforcement of laws (in particular related to items such as duty and taxation);
Global economic and financial market instability related to the U.K.’s referendum withdrawal from the E.U.;
Potential political and economic instability and changes in governments;
Compliance with foreign and domestic import and export regulations and anti-corruption laws, including the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012, U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and similar laws of other jurisdictions, for our business activities outside the United States, the violation of which could result in severe penalties, including monetary fines, criminal proceedings and suspension of export or import privileges; and
Terrorist or military actions that result in destruction or seizure of our assets or suspension or disruption of our operations or those of our customers.

Acquisitions - Our growth strategy includes acquisitions of companies that complement or expand our existing business. Acquisitions involve unique risks and uncertainties.

We have acquired, and expect to continue to acquire, companies that complement or expand our existing business in the United States and internationally, and some of these acquisitions may be in business lines of business where we have little, if any, experience. Acquisitions entail a number of risks, including that the acquired company will not perform as expected and that we will be responsible for unexpected costs or liabilities. In addition, increases in the size and complexity of our business may place a significant strain on our management, operations, technical performance, financial resources and internal financial control and reporting functions, and there are no assurances that we will be able to manage the acquisition process or newly acquired companies

effectively. It is not always possible to conduct an assessment of an acquired business’s internal control over financial reporting in the period between the consummation date and the date of management’s assessment. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Our personnel, systems, procedures and controls may not be adequate to effectively manage our future operations, especially as we employ personnel in multiple domestic and international locations. We may not be able to hire, train, retain and manage the personnel required to address our growth. Failure to effectively manage our growthacquisition opportunities could damage our reputation, limit our future growth, negativelyand adversely affect our operating results, and harm our business.

Growth strategies - If we fail to effectively manage and implement our organic growth strategies, we will experience a negative effect on our business and financial results.

A significant component of our growth strategy has been to add new vendors and products, and we expect to be able to enter new product markets in the future. Expansion of our existing product markets and entry into new product markets divert the use of our resources and systems, require additional resources that might not be available (or available on acceptable terms), result in new or more intense competition, may require longer implementation times or greater start-up expenditures than anticipated, and may otherwise fail to achieve the desired results in a timely fashion, if at all. In addition, while we have been very successful in adding new vendors in the past, we already represent most of the significant vendors in our primary areas of focus, and there is regular consolidation among our vendors. As a result, there may be fewer expansion opportunities of this nature in the future. If we are unable to increase our sales and earnings by expanding our product offerings in a cost effective manner, then our revenues may not grow.

Our ability to successfully manage our growth will require continued enhancement of our operational, managerial and financial resources and controls. Our failure to effectively manage our growth would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Additionally, our growth may increase our working capital requirements and as a result, we may require additional equity or debt financing. Such financing may not be available on termsoperating results.

We currently transact business in the U.K., where we also have offices and a distribution center, and in key E.U. markets. A majority of U.K. voters recently voted for the U.K. to exit the E.U.

and the rest of the world. The effects of Brexit will depend on any agreements the U.K. makes to retain access to E.U. markets either during a transitional period or more permanently. The measures could potentially disrupt the markets we serve and the tax jurisdictions in which we operate and adversely change tax benefits or liabilities in these or other jurisdictions, and may cause us to lose customers, suppliers and employees.

We currently transacthave substantial operations in Brazil and other Latin American countries and face risks related to these countries' complex tax, labor, trade compliance and consumer protection laws and regulations. Additionally, developing markets such as Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru have greater political volatility and vulnerability to infrastructure and labor disruptions, are more likely to experience market and interest rate fluctuations and may have higher inflation. In addition, doing business in these countries poses additional challenges, such as finding and retaining qualified employees, particularly management-level employees, navigating underdeveloped infrastructure and identifying and retaining qualified suppliers, resellers, agents and service providers, among other risks. Furthermore, in developing markets it may be common for others to engage in business practices prohibited by laws and regulations applicable to us, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, U.K., where we also have offices Bribery Act, or similar local anti-bribery laws. Our commitment to legal compliance could put us at a competitive disadvantage, and a distribution center,any lapses in our compliance could subject us to civil and in key E.U. markets.criminal penalties that could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, competition in developing markets is increasing. Our success in integrating our Brazilian and additional Latin American operations is important to our growth strategy. If we cannot successfully increase our business in these countries, our product sales, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Credit exposure - We have credit exposure to our reseller customers. Any adverse trends or significant adverse incident in their businesses could cause us to suffer credit losses.

As is customary in our industry, we extend credit to our customers, and most of our sales are on open accounts. We may be unable to collect on receivables if our reseller customers experience decreases in demand for their products and services, do not manage their businesses adequately, or otherwise become less able to pay due to adverse economic conditions or refinancing events. As we grow and compete for business, our typical payment terms tend to be longer, and therefore may increase our credit risk.

While we evaluate our customers' qualifications for credit and monitor our extensions of credit, and in some instances purchase credit insurance, these efforts cannot prevent all credit losses and any credit losses negatively impact our performance. In addition, for financial reporting purposes, we estimate future credit losses and establish reserves. To the extent that our credit losses exceed those reserves, our financial performance will be negatively impacted beyond what is expected. If there is deterioration in the collectability of our receivables, or if we are unable to collect under credit insurance policies, or if we fail to take other actions to adequately mitigate such credit risk, our earnings, cash flows and our ability to utilize receivable-based financing could deteriorate.

In addition, extending credit to international customers involves additional risks. It is often more difficult to evaluate credit ofrisk with a customer or obtain credit protections in our international operations. Also, credit cycles and collection periods are typically longer in our international operations. As a result of these factors and other challenges in extending credit to international customers, we generally face greater credit risk from international sales internationally compared to domestic sales.

BrazilianOrganic growth strategies - If we fail to effectively manage and Latin America operations - We face special political, economicimplement our organic growth strategies, we may experience a negative effect on our business and regulatory risks by doing business in Brazil and other Latin American countries, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.results.

or maintain systems to manage ongoing vendorsupplier programs, could cause us to record inventory write-downs or other losses and could have significant negative impact on our gross margins.

We receive purchase discounts and rebates from some vendorssuppliers based on various factors, including goals for quantitative and qualitative sales or purchase volume and customer related metrics. Certain purchase discounts and rebates may affect gross margins. Many purchase discounts from vendorssuppliers are based on percentage increases in sales of products. Our operating results wouldcould be negativelyadversely impacted if these rebates or discounts are reduced or eliminated or if our vendorssuppliers significantly increase the complexity of their refund procedures and thus increase costs for us to receiveobtain such rebates.

Our ability to obtain particular products or product lines in the required quantities and our ability to fulfill customer orders on a timely basis is critical to our success. Our manufacturerssuppliers have experienced product supply shortages from time to time due to the inability of certain of their suppliers to supply certain products on a timely basis. In addition, our dependence on a limited number of suppliers leaves us vulnerable to having an inadequate supply of required products, price increases, late deliveries and poor product quality.  As a result, we have experienced, and may in the future continue to experience, short-term shortages of specific products or be unable to purchase our desired volume of products. We cannot provide any assurancesSuppliers that vendors will be able to maintain an adequate supply of products to fulfill all of our customer orders on a timely basis.

Vendors who currently distribute their products through us, may decide to shift to or substantially increase their existing distribution with other distributors, their own dealer networks, or directly to resellers

or end-users. VendorsSuppliers have, from time to time, made efforts to reduce the number of distributors with which they do business. This could result in more intense competition as distributors strive to secure distribution rights with these vendors,suppliers, which could have an adverse impact on our operating results. We cannot provide any assurances that suppliers will maintain an adequate supply of products to fulfill all of our customer orders on a timely basis. Our reputation, sales and profitability may suffer if vendorssuppliers are not able to provide us with an adequate supply of products to fulfill our customer orders on a timely basis or if we cannot otherwise obtain particular products or a product lines.

In addition, our dependence on a limited number of vendors leaves us vulnerable to having an inadequate supply of required products, price increases, late deliveries, and poor product quality.  Like other distributors in our industry, we occasionally experience shortages and are unable to purchase our desired volume of products.  Increasingly, our vendorssuppliers are combining and merging, together, leaving us with fewer alternative sources. If we are unable to maintain an adequate supply of products, or if vendors do not regularly invest in, introduce to us, and/or make new products available to us for distribution, our revenue and gross profit could suffer considerably.  Finally, we cannot provide any assurance that particular products, or product lines, will be available to us, or available in quantities sufficient to meet customer demand.  Any limits to product access could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Avaya is one of our largest suppliers, and while we expect Avaya to operate successfully following this reorganization, the bankruptcy may result in a loss of customer confidence that will negatively impact sales.  Any such adverse outcome could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition.condition and results of operations.
Competition - We experience intense competition in all of our markets. This competition could result in reduced margins and loss of our market share.

Customer relationshipsOur markets are fiercely competitive. We compete on the basis of price, product and service availability, speed and accuracy of delivery, effectiveness of sales and marketing programs, credit availability and terms, ability to tailor solutions to the needs of our customers, quality and breadth of product line and services, and availability of technical and product information. Our competitors include local, regional, national and international distributors as well as hardware and service suppliers that sell directly to resellers and to end-users. In addition, we compete with master resellers that sell to franchisees, third party dealers and end-users. Certain of our current and potential competitors have greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we have and may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. Certain smaller, regional competitors, that are specialty two-tier or mixed model master resellers, may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements in their regions. Competition has increased for our sales units as broad line and other value-added distributors have entered into the specialty technology markets. Such competition could result in price reductions, reduced margins and loss of our market share.
As a result of intense price competition in our industry, our gross margins and our operating profit margins historically have been narrow, and we expect them to continue to be narrow in the future. To remain competitive, we may be forced to offer more credit or extended payment terms to our customers. This could result in an increase in our need for capital, increase our financing costs, increase our bad debt expenses and have an adverse impact on our results of operations. We do not offer any assurance that we will not lose market share, or that we will not reduce our prices in response to the action of our competitors and thereby experience a reduction in our gross margins. We expect continued intense competition as current competitors expand their operations and new competitors enter the market. Our inability to compete successfully against current and future competitors could cause our revenue and earnings to decline.
Customers - We operate in a highly competitive environment and good customer relations are critical to our success. There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain and expand our customer relationships or acquire new customers.

Meeting our customers' needs quickly and fairly is critical to our business success. Our transactionsTransactions with our customers generally are generally performed on a purchase order basis rather than under long term supply agreements. Therefore, our customers readily can readily choose to purchase from other distributors.sources. From time to time, we experience shortages in availability of some products from vendors,suppliers, and this impacts our customers' decisions regarding whether to make purchases from us. Anything that negatively impacts ourinfluences customer relations also can negatively impact our operating results. Accordingly,
Customer consolidation also may lead to changes in the nature and terms of relationships with our customers. The loss or deterioration of a major customer relationship could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
People - If we cannot continue to hire and retain high quality employees, our business and financial results may be negatively affected.
Our operating results could be adversely affected by increased competition for employees, higher employee turnover or increased salary and benefit costs. Our employees are important to our success and we are dependent in part on our ability to retain the services of our key management, sales, can vary asIT, operational, finance and administrative personnel.

employees, including those in executive, senior management, sales, marketing, logistics, technical support and other operating positions.
Many of our employees work in small teams to provide specific services to customers and suppliers. They are trained to develop their knowledge of products, services, programs and practices and customer business needs, as well as to enhance the skills required to provide exceptional service and to manage our business. As they gain experience and develop their knowledge and skills, our employees become highly desired by other businesses. Therefore, to retain our employees, we have to provide a satisfying work environment and competitive compensation and benefits. If our costs to retain our skilled employees increase, then our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.
IT Systems and the transition to a new Enterprise Resource Planning System - Our ability to manage our business and monitor results is highly dependent upon information and communication systems. A failure of these systems could disrupt our business.

We are highly dependent upon a variety of internal computer and telecommunication systems to operate our business, including our enterprise resource planning ("ERP") systems. In order to continue support of our growth, we are making significant technological upgrades to our information systems. This is a lengthy and expensive process that has resulted, and will continue to result in aresource diversion of resources from other operations.

Our new global ERP system is currently operating in Europe, Latin America, excluding Brazil, and North America, excluding Intelisys and POS Portal. As we continue to implement our new ERP system in additional geographies,locations, any disruptions, delays or deficiencies in the design and/or implementation of the system, or in the performance of our legacy systems, could adversely affect our ability to effectively run and manage our business and potentially our customers' ability to access our price and product availability information or place orders. Further, as we are dependent upon our ability to gather and promptly transmit accurate information to key decision makers, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected if our information systems do not allow us to transmit accurate information, even for a short period of time. Failure to properly or adequately address these issues

could impact our ability to perform necessary business operations, which could adversely affect our reputation, competitive position, business, financial condition and results of operations and financial condition.

operations.
In addition, the information systems of companies we acquire may not be sufficient to meet our standards or we may not be able to successfully convert them to provide acceptable information on a timely and cost-effective basis. Furthermore, we must attract and retain qualified people to operate our systems, expand and improve them, integrate new programs effectively with our existing programs and convert to new systems efficiently when required. Any disruption to our business due to such issues, or an increase in our costs to cover these issues that is greater than what we have anticipated, could have an adverse effect on our financial results and operations.

Our customers rely increasingly on our electronic ordering and information systems as a source for product information, including availability and pricing. There can be no assurance that our systems will not fail or experience disruptions, and any significant failure or disruption of these systems could prevent us from making sales, ordering and delivering products and otherwise conducting our business. Many of our customers use our website to check real-time product availability, see their customized pricing and place orders. The Internet and individual websites have experienced a number of disruptions and slowdowns. In addition, some websites have experienced security breakdowns. While our website has not experienced any material disruptions or security breakdowns, it may in the future and any disruptions or breaches in security or a breach that compromises sensitive information could harm our relationship with our vendors,suppliers, customers and other business partners. Any material disruption of our website or the Internet in general could impair our order processing or prevent our vendorssuppliers and customers from accessing information and cause us to lose business.
Cyber security risk - Our reputation and business may be harmed from cyber security risk and we may be subject to legal claims if there is loss, disclosure or misappropriation of or access to our customers' or our business partners' or our own information or other breaches of our information security.

We make extensive use of online services and centralized data processing, including through third-party service providers. The secure maintenance and transmission of customer information is a critical element of our operations. Our information technology and other systems that maintain and transmit customer or employee information or those of service providers or business partners may be compromised by a malicious third-party penetration of our network security, or that of a third-party service provider or business partner, or impacted by advertent or inadvertent actions or inactions by our employees, or those of a third-party service provider or business partner. With constant changes in the security landscape, experienced computer programmers and hackers may be able to penetrate our network security, or that of our third-party service providers, and misappropriate or compromise our confidential information, create system disruptions, or cause shutdowns. As a result, our customers' information may be lost, disclosed, accessed or taken without our customers' consent.

We are subject to laws and regulations relating to customer privacy and the protection of personal information. Any such loss, disclosure or misappropriation of, or access to, customers' or business partners' information or our information or other breach of

such information security can result in legal claims or legal proceedings, including regulatory investigations and actions, may have a serious impact on our reputation and may adversely affect our businesses, operating results and financial condition.
Economic weakness - Economic weakness and geopolitical uncertainty could adversely affect our results and prospects.

Our financial results, operations and prospects depend significantly on worldwide economic and geopolitical conditions, the demand for our products and services, and the financial condition of our customers and suppliers. Economic weakness and geopolitical uncertainty have in the past resulted, and may result in the future, in reduced demand for products resulting in decreased sales, margins and earnings. Economic weakness and geopolitical uncertainty may also lead us to impair assets, including goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets, take restructuring actions and reduce expenses in response to decreased sales or margins. We may not be able to adequately adjust our cost structure in a timely fashion, which may adversely impact our profitability. Uncertainty about economic conditions may increase foreign currency volatility in markets in which we transact business, which may negatively impact our results. Economic weakness and geopolitical uncertainty also make it more difficult for us to manage inventory levels and/or collect customer receivables, which may result in provisions to create reserves, write-offs, reduced access to liquidity and higher financing costs.
Disruptive technology - We may not be able to respond and adapt to rapid technological changes, evolving industry standards or changing customer needs or requirements, and thus may become less competitive.

The market for our products and services is subject to rapid technological change, evolving industry standards and changes in customer demand, which can contribute to the decline in value or obsolescence of inventory. Although most of our suppliers provide us with certain protections from the loss in value of inventory (such as price protection and certain rights of return), we cannot be sure that such protections will fully compensate for any loss in value, or that the suppliers will choose to, or be able to, honor such agreements.
Our ability and our supplier's ability to anticipate and react quickly to new technology trends and customer requirements is crucial to our overall success, financial condition and results of operations. If our suppliers fail to evolve their product and service offerings, or if we fail to evolve our product and service offerings or engage with desirable vendorssuppliers in time to respond to, and remain ahead of, new technological developments, it would adversely affect our ability to retain or increase market share and revenues. New technologies may emerge that quickly surpass the capabilities of the products we currently hold in inventory or have access to sell through our existing vendorsupplier network, and our customers may no longer view our product offerings as desirable or necessary, which could result in a reduction in our market share and ability to obtain sufficient profit margins. Some of our competitors and our vendors’suppliers’ competitors may be more nimble inbetter at adapting to disruptive technology or entering new markets. Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to adapt and manage our product offerings to meet customer needs at prices that our customers are willing to pay.

PeopleForeign currency - The departure, transition or replacement of key personnelOur international operations expose us to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that could significantly impactadversely affect our results of operations.
We transact sales, pay expenses, own assets and incur liabilities in countries using currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Volatility in foreign exchange rates increase our operations. If we cannot continuerisk of loss related to hire and retain high quality employees, our business and financial results may be negatively affected.

Our operating results could be adversely affected by increased competition for employees, higher employee turnover, or increased salary and benefit costs. Like most businesses, our employees are important to our success and we are dependent in part on our ability to retain the services of our key management, sales, IT, operational, finance and administrative personnel. We have built our business on a set of core values, and we attempt to hire employees who are committed to these values. We want to hire and retain employees who will fit our culture of providing exceptional service to our vendors and customers. In order to compete and to continue to grow, we must attract, retain and motivate employees, including those in executive, senior management, sales, marketing, logistics, technical support and other operating positions. Our worldwide management structure provides improved management of our operations and improved succession planning within our organization.

Many of our employees work in small teams to provide specific services to vendors and customers. They are trained to develop their knowledge of vendor products programs and practices and customer business needs, as well as to enhance the skills required to provide exceptional service and to manage our business. As they gain experience and develop their knowledge and skills, our employees become highly desired by other businesses. Therefore, to retain our employees, we have to provide a satisfying work environment and competitive compensation and benefits. If our costs to retain our skilled employees increase, then our business and financial results may be negatively affected.

Competition - We experience intense competition in all of our markets. Such competition could result in reduced margins and loss of our market share.

The markets that we operate in are fiercely competitive. We compete on the basis of price, product availability, speed and accuracy of delivery, effectiveness of sales and marketing programs, credit availability, ability to tailor solutions to the needs of our customers, quality and breadth of product line and services purchased in a currency other than the currency in which those products and availability of technical and product information. Our competitors include

local, regional, national and international distributors as well as hardware manufacturers (including most of our vendors) that sell directly to resellers and to end-users. In addition, we compete with master resellers that sell to franchisees, third party dealers and end-users. Certain of our current and potential competitors have greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we have and may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. Certain smaller, regional competitors, whoservices are specialty two-tier or mixed model master resellers, may also be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. Competition has increased for our sales units as broad line and other value-added distributors have entered into the specialty technology markets. Such competition could result in price reductions, reduced margins and loss of our market share.

As a result of intense price competition in our industry, our gross margins and our operating profit margins have historically been narrow, and we expect them to be narrow in the future. To remain competitive, we may be forced to offer more credit or extended payment terms to our customers. This could result in an increase in our need for capital, increase our financing costs, increase our bad debt expenses and have a negative impact on our financial results.sold. We do not offer any assurance that we will not lose market share, or that we will not be forced in the futuremaintain policies to reduce our pricesnet exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations through the use of derivative financial instruments, however there can be no assurance that fluctuations in response to the action of our competitors and thereby experience a reduction in our gross margins. We expect continued intense competition as current competitors expand their operations and new competitors enter the market. Our inability to compete successfully against current and future competitors could cause our revenue and earnings to decline.

Internal control over financial reporting - The internal control structure we have in place overforeign currency exchange rates will not materially affect our financial reporting may not be effectiveresults. Because our consolidated financial statements are presented in detecting fraud or errors in a timely manner, which could result in a material adverse effect on our business or the market price of our securities.

We maintain a system of internal controls over financial reporting designated to insure thatU.S. dollars, we record transactions, assets and liabilities in our financial records in an accurate and timely manner may be identified in the future. Any failure in these controls could cause us to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligation, or result in errors in our financial statements. The existence of errors inmust translate our financial statements could resultinto U.S. dollars at exchange rates in liability undereffect during each reporting period. Therefore, increases or decreases in the securities laws, significant costs relating to correctingexchanges rates between the errorsU.S. dollar and the lossother currencies we transact in may positively or negatively affect our results of investor confidence. We do not expectoperations. In addition, unexpected and dramatic changes in foreign currency exchange rates may negatively affect our internal control over financial reporting to detect all errors or fraudulent conduct.earnings from those markets.

Centralized functions - We have centralized a number of functions to provide efficient support to our business. As a result, a loss or reduction of use of one of our locations would have an adverse effect on our business operations and financial results.

In order to be as efficient as possible, we centralize a number of critical functions. For instance, we currently distribute products to the majority of North America from a single warehouse. Similarly, for the primary business operations, we utilize a single information system based in the United States for the majority of our North American, Latin American and European operations, while our Latin AmericanBrazilian operations have separate systems. While we have backup systems and business continuity plans, any significant or lengthy interruption of our ability to provide these centralized functions would significantly impair our ability to continue normal business operations. In addition, the centralization of these functions increases our exposure to local risks, such as the availability of qualified employees and the lessening of competition for critical services, such as freight and communications.

Inventory - The value of our inventory may be adversely affected by market and other factors.

Our business, like that of other distributors, is subject to the risk that the value of our inventory will be adversely affected by price reductions by manufacturers, by technological changes affecting the usefulness or desirability of our products or by foreign currency fluctuations. Under the terms of mostMost of our vendorsupplier agreements and the policy of most manufacturers of specialty technology products, wemanufacturers’ policies have some price protection and stock rotation opportunities with respect to slow-moving or obsolete inventory items. However, these protections are limited in scope and do not protect against all declines in inventory value, excess inventory, or product obsolescence, and in some instances we may not be able to fulfill all necessary conditions or successfully manage such price protection or stock rotation opportunities. In addition, these industry practicesprotections are sometimes not always reflected in vendorsupplier agreements and their application in a particular situation is dependent upon negotiations betweenwith our vendors and us.suppliers. As a result, from time-to-timeoccasionally we are required to write down the value of excess and obsolete inventory, and should any of these write-downs occur at a significant level, they could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Liquidity and capital resources - Market factors may increase the cost and availability of capital. Additional capital may not be available to us on acceptable terms to fund our working capital needs and growth.

Our business requires significant levels of capital to finance accounts receivable and product inventory that is not financed by trade creditors. We have an increased demand for capital when our business is expanding, including through acquisitions.acquisitions and organic growth. Changes

in payment terms with either suppliers or customers could also increase our capital requirements. We have historically relied upon cash generated from operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, secured and unsecured borrowings and, to a lesser extent, borrowings under a subsidiary's line of credit to satisfy our capital needs and to finance growth. While we believe that our existing sources of liquidity will provide sufficient resources to meet our current working capital and cash requirements, if we require an increase in capital to meet our future business needs, such capital may not be available to us on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Changes in how lenders rate our credit worthiness, as well as macroeconomic factors such as an economic downturn and global economic instability may restrict our ability to raise capital in adequate amounts or on terms acceptable to us, and the failure to do so could harm our ability to operate our business.

In addition, our cash and cash equivalents are deposited with various financial institutions located in the various countries in which we operate. We endeavor to monitor these financial institutions regularly for credit quality; however, we are exposed to risk of loss on such funds or we may experience significant disruptions in our liquidity needs if one or more of these financial institutions were to suffer bankruptcy or similar restructuring.

Cyber security risk - Our reputation and business may be harmed from cyber security risk and we may be subject to legal claims if there is loss, disclosure or misappropriation of or access to our customers' or our business partners' or our own information or other breaches of our information security.

We make extensive use of online services and centralized data processing, including through third party service providers. The secure maintenance and transmission of customer information is a critical element of our operations. Our information technology and other systems that maintain and transmit customer or employee information or those of service providers or business partners may be compromised by a malicious third-party penetration of our network security, or that of a third-party service provider or business partner, or impacted by advertent or inadvertent actions or inactions by our employees, or those of a third-party service provider or business partner. Experienced computer programmers and hackers may be able to penetrate our network security, or that of our third-party service provider, and misappropriate or compromise our confidential information, create system disruptions, or cause shutdowns. As a result, our customers' information may be lost, disclosed, accessed or taken without our customers' consent.

We are subject to regulations relating to customer privacy and the protection of personal information. Any such loss, disclosure or misappropriation of, or access to, customers' or business partners' information or other breach of our information security can result in legal claims or legal proceedings, including regulatory investigations and actions, may have a serious impact on our reputation and may adversely affect our businesses, operating results and financial condition. Furthermore, the loss, disclosure or misappropriation of our business information may adversely affect our businesses, operating results and financial condition.

Reliance on third parties - We are dependent on third parties for some services, including the delivery of a majority of our products, logistics and warehousing. Changes in shipping terms or the failure or inability of our third-party shippers to perform could have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

We rely on arrangements with third parties to perform certain services for our business and for our customers, which, if not performed by these third parties in accordance with the terms of the arrangement, could result in significant disruptions or costs to our organization, including monetary damages and an adverse effect on our customer relationships.

In particular, we are dependent upon major shipping companies, including FedEx and UPS, for the shipment of our products to and from our centralized warehouses. Changes in shipping terms, or the inability of these third-party shippers to perform effectively, (whether as a result of mechanical failure, casualty loss, labor stoppage, or any other reason), could have an adverse effect onaffect our business, financial condition and results of operations.responsiveness to our customers. From time to time, we have experienced significant increases in shipping costs due to increases in fuel costs. Additionally, deterioration of the financial condition of our carriers could have an adverse impact on our logistical processes and shipping costs. Poor financial condition of our freight carriers could resultIncreases in delayed responsiveness in their service lead times, which would ultimately affect our responsiveness to our customers. Additionally, if our carriers were to increase our shipping costs it may adversely affect our financial results if we are unable to pass on these higher costs to our customers.

In Europe, Brazil and other Latin American countries, we use third parties to provide warehousing and logistics services in order to provide cost-effective operations and scale in certain regions. The failure or inability of one or more of these third parties to deliver products from suppliers to us, or products from us to our customers, for any reason could disrupt our business and harm our reputation and operating results. We work closely with our third-party logistics and warehousing providers to anticipate issues, and also review public information regarding their financial health. However, issues may not be identified timely, which may lead to lack of or poor execution of services, loss or litigation. Additionally, deterioration of the financial condition of our logistical and warehousing

Increased government scrutinyregulation - We may be subject to additional costs and subject to fines and penalties because certain governmental entities are end-users of products that we sell.

Certain of our customers may sell our products to U.S. government entities, which may requirerequires us to comply with additional laws, regulations orand contractual requirements relating to how we conduct business. In complying with thesesuch laws, regulations, and other requirements, we may incur additional costs,costs. In addition, non-compliance with such laws, regulations, and non-complianceother requirements also may also allow for the assignment ofexpose us to fines and penalties, including contractual damages or the loss of certain contracts or business. We also may also be subject to increased scrutiny and investigation into our business practices, which may increase operating costs and increase legal liability, as well as expose us to additional risk surrounding our reputation.

reputational risk.
Fair value measurement of contingent consideration, goodwill and other intangible assets - Changes in the fair value of the assets and liabilities measured at fair value could have a significant effect on our reported earnings.

We have structured several of our acquisitions with upfront payments and additional earnout payments. In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, a liability for the contingent consideration driven by an earn-out must be recorded at the onset of the purchase and must be revalued at every reporting period. Changes in the fair value of the liability are recorded as an adjustment to operating income. These changes can occur due to changes in estimated future financial results, the probabilities of achieving these results, the discount rate reflective of our creditworthiness and the market risk premium associated with the Brazilianrelevant market. Both gains and losses can occur due to changes in these fair value estimates, thus increasing volatility of our earnings.

We have substantial goodwill. On at least an annual basis, we are required to assess our goodwill and other intangible assets, including but not limited to customer relationships, trademarks, and trade names,for impairment. This includes continuously monitoring events and circumstances that could trigger an impairment test outside of our annual impairment testing date in the fourth quarter of each year. Testing goodwill and other intangibles for impairment requires the use of significant estimates and other inputs outside of our control. If the carrying value of goodwill in any of our goodwill reporting units or other intangible assets is determined to exceed their respective fair values, we may be required to record significant impairment charges that would adversely affect our operating results.

Goodwill impairments - Goodwill impairments and impairments of long-lived assets could have a material non-cash adverse effect on our results of operations.

We have substantial goodwill. We test our goodwill for impairment in the fourth quarter of each year for all reporting units, or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change that would warrant such a review. We were not required to record an impairment charge with respect to our goodwill within the past three years. However, in the future, the fair value of one of our reporting units may decrease below its carrying amount and future goodwill impairments that may be material could be recognized.charges. Any declines resulting in a goodwill impairment or long-lived asset impairment may result in material non-cash charges to our earnings. Impairment charges would also reduce our consolidated shareholders' equity and increase our debt-to-total-capitalization ratio, which could negatively impact our credit rating and access to the public debt and equity markets.

Failure to comply with environmental regulations - We are subject to various environmental regulations, and failing to comply with any requirements may adversely affect our business operations or financial results.

We are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations addressing environmental and other impacts from product disposal, use of hazardous materials in products, recycling of products at the end of their useful life and other related matters. Compliance with these environmental laws may have a material adverse effect on our business. These laws include the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive, ("RoHS"), RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU ("RoHS 2") and the European Union Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive ("WEEE") as enacted by individual European Union countries and other similar legislation adopted in North America. These directives can make companies involved in the production or distribution of electrical goods, including computers and printers, responsible for collection, recycling, treatment and disposal of recovered products. In addition, these directives and similar legislation can have an impact on the types and design of products we are able to sell in jurisdictions that have adopted such restrictions. While we strive to ensure we are in compliance with all applicable regulations, certain of these regulations impose strict liability. Additionally, we may be held responsible for the prior activities of entities that we have acquired or will acquire in the future. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in substantial costs, fines and civil or criminal sanctions, as well as third party claims for property damage or personal injury. Further, environmental laws may become more stringent over time, imposing greater compliance costs and increasing risks and penalties associated with violation, which could adversely affect our business, financial position orcondition and results of operations.

Quarterly fluctuations - Our net sales and operating results are dependent on a number of factors. Our net sales will fluctuate from quarter to quarter, and these fluctuations may cause volatility in our stock price.

Our net sales and operating results may fluctuate quarterly and, as a result our performance in one period may vary significantly from our performance in the preceding quarter, and may differ significantly from our forecast of performance from quarter to quarter. The impact of these variances may cause volatility in our stock price. Additionally, any past financial performance should not be considered an indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in the future as our operating results may fluctuate significantly quarter to quarter. The results of any quarterly period are not indicative of results to be expected for a full fiscal year.

Volatility of Stock Price-Price - The trading price of our common stock.stock fluctuates.

The stock market as a whole and the trading prices of companies in the wholesale electronics industry have been volatile. This broad market and industry volatility could significantly reduce the price of our common stock at any time, without regard to our own operating performance. This volatility may affect the price at which you could sell your common stock. Our stock price is likely to continue to be volatile and subject to price and volume fluctuations in response to market and other factors; variations in our quarterly operating results from our expectations or those of securities analysts or investors; downward revisions in securities analysts’ estimates; and announcement by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, transactions, partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments.

A material decline in the price of our common stock may result in the assertion of certain claims against us, and/or the commencement of inquiries and/or investigations against us. A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital, if needed, and the inability for you to obtain a favorable price at which you could sell your shares.
  
Litigation - We routinely are involved in litigation that can be costly and lead to adverse results.

In the ordinary course of our business, we are involved in a wide range of disputes, some of which result in litigation. We are routinely involved in litigation related to commercial disputes surrounding our business activities, intellectual property disputes, employment disputes and accounts receivable collection activity. In addition, as a public company with a large shareholder base, we are susceptible to class-action lawsuits and other litigation resulting from disclosures that we make (or do not make) and our other activities. Litigation is expensive to bring and defend, and the outcome of litigation can be adverse and significant. Not all adverse outcomes can be anticipated, and applicable accounting rules do not always require or permit the establishment of a reserve until a final result has occurred or becomes probable and estimable. In some instances we are insured or indemnified for the potential losses; in other instances we are not. An uninsured, under insured or underinsurednon-indemnified adverse outcome in significant litigation could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We can make no assurances that we will ultimately be successful in our defense of any of these disputes. See Item 3. "Legal Proceedings" for further discussion of our material legal matters.

Worldwide Barcode, Networking & Security

During fiscal year 2017 net sales for this segment increased $27.6 million, or 1.2%, compared to fiscal year 2016, primarily resulting from sales growth in North America. Excluding the foreign exchange positive impact of $10.2 million and sales from the KBZ acquisition for the first quarter of fiscal years 2017 and 2016, adjusted net sales fiscal year 2017 decreased $47.3 million, or 2.0%, compared to fiscal 2016. The decrease in adjusted net sales is primarily due to lower sales volume in our international business and a large transaction with our KBZ business in the December 2015 quarter that did not recur, nor did we expect it to recur.

Worldwide Communications & Services

During fiscal year 2017, net sales for this segment increased $0.4 million compared to fiscal year 2016, primarily due to the Intelisys acquisition, partially offset by lower net sales in all geographies. Excluding the foreign exchange positive impact of $8.6 million and sales from the Intelisys acquisition, adjusted net sales for fiscal year 2017 decreased $37.6 million, or 3.2%, compared to fiscal year 2016. The decrease in adjusted net sales is due to overall lower sales volume in all geographies.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased $32.3 million for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018. The increase in SG&A expenses is primarily due to increased employee-related expenses, largely due to recent acquisitions. This was partially offset by a favorable Brazilian sales tax settlement recorded in the current fiscal year.

The increase in depreciation expense and intangible amortization expense for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 of $3.9 million and $5.1 million, respectively, is largely due to additional depreciation and amortization recognized on assets acquired in our POS Portal acquisition.

We have elected to present changes in fair value of the contingent consideration owed to former shareholders of businesses we acquire separately from other SG&A expenses. In fiscal 2018, we have recorded a $37.0 million loss, largely driven by recurring amortization of the unrecognized fair value discount, better-than-expected results from both Network1 and Intelisys and changes in the estimate of the current year payment made to the former owners of Network1 in September 2017.

SG&A increased $25.1 million for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017. The increase in SG&A expenses is primarily due to increased employee-related expenses from recent acquisitions and bad debt expense.

The increase of depreciation expense and intangible amortization expense for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017 of $2.1 million and $5.7 million, respectively, is largely due to assets acquired through our Intelisys acquisition and additional depreciation on our ERP system.

During fiscal year 2017, with respect to the change in fair value of contingent consideration we recorded a $5.2 million expense, largely driven by recurring amortization of the unrecognized fair value discount and improved projections for Intelisys, partially offset by less-than-expected actual results and reduced projected results for Network1.

Worldwide Communications & Services

For the Worldwide Communications & Services segment, operating income and operating margin decreased for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the prior year primarily due to the expense recognized from the change in fair value of contingent consideration largely due to better-than-expected results and changes in estimate of the current year payment to the former shareholders of Network1.

For the Worldwide Barcode, Networking & Security segment, operating income decreased $2.5 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the prior year. Operating income as a percentage of sales remained fairly consistent year-to-year. The decrease in operating income is largely due to lower gross profit margins and increased employee-related costs, partially offset in improvements in bad debt expense recognized.

Worldwide Communications & Services

For the Worldwide Communications & Services segment, operating income decreased $5.7 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the prior year. Operating income as a percentage of sales decreased to 3.4% from 3.9%. The decrease in operating income and margin is largely due to increased amortization expense on intangible assets acquired through our Intelisys acquisition, a higher loss for change in fair value of contingent consideration and higher bad debt expense.

Corporate

Corporate incurred $1.3 million and $0.9 million in acquisition costs for the year ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Interest expense reflects interest incurred on borrowings, non-utilization fees from our revolving credit facility and amortization of debt issuance costs. Interest expense increased in fiscal 2018 as compared to 2017 principally from additional borrowings on our multi-currency revolving credit facility.

Interest income for the year ended June 30, 2018 was generated on interest-bearing customer receivables and interest earned on cash and cash equivalents, principally in Brazil. In fiscal 2018 and 2017 we recognized accrued interest income related to two separate legal tax settlements in Brazil of $0.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

Net foreign exchange gains and losses consist of foreign currency transactional and functional currency re-measurements, offset by net foreign currency exchange contract gains and losses. Foreign exchange gains and losses are generated as the result of fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar versus the Brazilian real, the U.S. dollar versus the euro, the British pound versus the euro, the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar and other currencies versus the U.S. dollar. While we utilize foreign exchange contracts and debt in non-functional currencies to hedge foreign currency exposure, our foreign exchange policy prohibits the use of derivative financial instruments for speculative transactions. We partially offset foreign currency exposure with the use of foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge against these exposures. The costs associated with foreign exchange forward contracts are included in the net foreign exchange loss.

Other income for the fiscal year ended 2017 included $12.7 million from the recognition of a legal settlement in the US, net of attorney fees that did not recur in fiscal 2018.

Interest expense increased in fiscal 2017 over 2016 principally from additional borrowings on our multi-currency revolving credit facility.

Interest income for the year ended June 30, 2017 was generated on interest-bearing customer receivables and interest earned on cash and cash equivalents, principally in Brazil. The increase in interest income is primarily due to approximately $1.4 million of interest accrued on a tax settlement in Brazil.

Index to Financial Statements



We experienced foreign exchange losses as foreign currency exchange rates weakened against the U.S. dollar during fiscal 2017. Losses were partially offset by the use of foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge against currency exposures.

Other income for the fiscal year ended 2017 increased $12.7 million primarily due to the recognition of a legal settlement in the US, net of attorney fees compared to the prior year.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $27.8 million, $32.2 million and $32.4 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018, 2017 and 2016 respectively, reflecting an effective tax rate of 45.6%, 31.8%, and 33.7%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for fiscal year 2018 as compared to fiscal year 2017 is primarily due to discrete tax items recognized associated with U.S. tax reform, including a one-time transition tax expense of $9.6 million and a tax benefit of $1.6 million to remeasure deferred taxes. The decrease in the effective tax rate for fiscal year 2017 as compared to fiscal year 2016 is primarily due a favorable tax recovery recognized by the Brazilian Supreme Court during the quarter ending June 30, 2017.

We expect the fiscal year 2019 effective tax rate to be approximately 26% to 27%. See Note 12 - Income Taxes in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion including an effective tax rate reconciliation.

In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principlesgenerally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP" or "GAAP"), we also disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures include non-GAAP operating

income, non-GAAP pre-tax income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP EPS, return on invested capital ("ROIC") and "constant currency." Constant currency" is a measure that excludes the translation exchange impact from changes in foreign currency exchange rates between reporting periods. We use non-GAAP financial measures to better understand and evaluate performance, including comparisons from period to period.

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and the non-GAAP financial measures that we report may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies. Analysis of results and outlook on a non-GAAP basis should be considered in addition to, and not in substitution for or as superior to, measurements of financial performance prepared in accordance with US GAAP.

Net Sales in Constant Currency, Excluding Acquisitions
We make references to "constant currency," a non-GAAP performance measure that excludes the foreign exchange rate impact from fluctuations in the average foreign exchange rates between reporting periods. Constant currency is calculated by translating current period results from currencies other than the U.S. dollar into U.S. dollars using the comparable average foreign exchange rates from the prior year period. We also exclude the impact of acquisitions prior to the first full year of operations from the acquisition date in order to show net sales results on an organic basis. This information is provided to analyze underlying trends without the translation impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates and the impact of acquisitions. Below we show organic growth by providing a non-GAAP reconciliation of net sales in constant currency, excluding acquisition:

Non-GAAP Operating Income, Non-GAAP Pre-Tax Income, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP EPS

To evaluate current period performance on a clearer and more consistent basis with prior periods, we disclose non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP pre-tax income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. We completed acquisitions on September 19, 2014 and January 13, 2015, both of which were structured with earnout payments. Given the size of the acquisitions and potential variability of fair value adjustments on operating results, non-GAAPNon-GAAP results exclude amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions, changechanges in fair value of contingent consideration, acquisition costs and acquisition costs.other non-GAAP adjustments. Non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP pre-tax income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS are useful in assessing and understanding the Company'sour operating performance, especially when comparing results with previous periods or forecasting performance for future periods.
Below we are providingprovide a non-GAAP reconciliation of operating income, pre-tax income, net income and earnings per share adjusted for the costs and charges mentioned above:

Return on Invested Capital
Management uses ROIC as a performance measurement to assess efficiency at allocating capital under the Company'sour control to generate returns. Management believes this metric balances the Company'sour operating results with asset and liability management, is not impacted by capitalization decisions and correlates with shareholder value creation. In addition, it is easily computed, communicated and understood. ROIC also provides management a measure of the Company's profitability on a basis more comparable to historical or future periods.

understood. ROIC also provides management a measure of our profitability on a basis more comparable to historical or future periods.
ROIC assists us in comparing our performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis because it removes from our operating results the impact of items that do not reflect our core operating performance. We believe the calculation of ROIC provides useful information to investors and is an additional relevant comparison of our performance during the year. In addition, the Company's Board of Directors uses ROIC in evaluating business and management performance. Certain management incentive compensation targets are set and measured relative to ROIC.
We calculate ROIC as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, plus change in fair value of contingent consideration and other non-GAAP adjustments ("adjusted EBITDA"), divided by invested capital. Invested capital is defined as average equity plus average daily funded interest-bearing debt for the period. The following table summarizes annualized return on invested capital ratioROIC for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015,2018, 2017 and 2014,2016, respectively.

Comparison of Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014

Currency

In this Management Discussion and Analysis, we make references to "constant currency," a non-GAAP performance measure, that excludes the foreign exchange rate impact from fluctuations in the weighted average foreign exchange rates between reporting periods. Certain financial results are adjusted by translating current period results from currencies other than the U.S. dollar using the comparable weighted average foreign exchange rates from the prior year period. This information is provided to view financial results without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates, thereby facilitating comparability between reporting periods.

Net Sales

The Company has two reportable segments, which are based on technologies. Prior period results have been reclassified in the current year to account for the movement of certain business operations from the Worldwide Communications & Services segment to the Worldwide Barcode & Security segment. The following tables summarize the Company’s net sales results by business segment and by geographic location for the comparable fiscal years ending June 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014.

On a constant currency basis and excluding acquisitions, consolidated net sales for the Company increased $1.1 million, less than 0.1%, compared with the prior year.

Worldwide Barcode & Security

The Barcode & Security segment consists of sales to technology resellers in North America, Europe, and Latin America. During fiscal year 2016 net sales for this segment increased $247.2 million or 11.6% compared to the prior fiscal year primarily from the inclusion of sales from KBZ, acquired in September 2015. Excluding the foreign exchange negative impact of $80.4 million and

sales from acquisitions of $309.4 million, adjusted net sales increased $18.1 million or 0.8%. The increase in adjusted net sales is primarily due to growth in our POS and Barcode business in North America.

Worldwide Communications & Services

The Communications & Services segment consists of sales to technology resellers in North America, Europe and Latin America. During fiscal year 2016, net sales for this segment increased $74.4 million or 6.9% compared to the prior fiscal year primarily driven by the inclusion of a full year of sales for Network1. Excluding the foreign exchange negative impact of $22.8 million and sales from acquisitions of $118.9 million, adjusted net sales decreased $17.1 million or 1.6%. The decrease in adjusted net sales is primarily due to lower sales in North America, partially offset by sales growth in Europe.

Worldwide Barcode & Security

During fiscal year 2015 net sales for this segment increased $130 million or 6.5% compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase in sales is primarily due to increased big deals for our North America and Europe POS & Barcode, Security and Networking businesses, partially offset by the unfavorable exchange rate variances. Excluding the negative impact of foreign exchange in the amount of $74.7 million, adjusted net sales increased $204.9 million or 10.2% compared to prior year.

Worldwide Communications & Services

During fiscal year 2015, net sales for this segment increased $174.8 million or 19.2% compared to the prior fiscal year. Sales for fiscal year 2015 include Imago ScanSource and Network1 sales, which we acquired in September 2014 and January 2015, respectively. Excluding the negative impact of foreign exchange in the amount of $7.4 million and sales from acquisitions of $181.1 million, adjusted net sales increased $1.0 million or 0.1% compared to prior year. The increase in adjusted net sales is primarily due to growth in our North America Communications and Catalyst businesses.

Gross profit dollars for the Barcode & Security segment increased $21.9 million for fiscal year ended 2016 as compared to prior year primarily due to the inclusion of results from the KBZ acquisition. As a percentage of sales, gross profit margin increased slightly to 8.4% as compared to 8.3% for fiscal year 2015. The slight increase gross profit margin is largely due to a more favorable sales mix.

Worldwide Communications & Services

Gross profit dollars for the Communications & Services segment increased $6.5 million for fiscal year ended 2016 as compared to prior year primarily due to the inclusion of a full year of Network1 results. As a percentage of sales, gross profit margin decreased to 13.4% for fiscal year 2016 compared to 13.8% for fiscal year 2015, primarily due to lower vendor program recognition.

Gross profit dollars for the Barcode & Security segment increased $2.9 million for fiscal year 2015 as compared to prior year. However, as a percentage of sales, gross profit margin decreased slightly to 8.3% for fiscal year 2015 as compared to 8.7% for fiscal year 2014. This reduction is largely the result of sales mix, principally higher sales volume of lower margin products.

Worldwide Communications & Services

Gross profit dollars and gross profit margin for the Communications & Services segment increased $23.1 million for fiscal year 2015 as compared to fiscal year 2014. However, as a percentage of sales, gross profit margin decreased slightly to 13.8% compared to 13.9% for fiscal year 2014, primarily due to a less favorable sales mix and lower vendor program recognition as a percentage of sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased $34.3 million for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016. The increase in SG&A expenses is primarily due to increased employee-related expenses from recent acquisitions, bad debt expense and amortization expense of intangibles generated through acquisitions.

We have elected to present changes in fair value of the contingent consideration owed to former shareholders of CDC, Imago ScanSource, and Network1 separately from other selling, general and administrative expenses. In the current year, we have recorded a $1.3 million loss, driven by recurring amortization of the unrecognized fair value discount, and the achievement of better than expected actual results for Imago ScanSource, partially offset by a reduction in projected results for Network1.

SG&A increased $30.5 million for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2015. The increase in SG&A expenses is primarily due to increased employee-related expenses and additional SG&A for the newly acquired Imago ScanSource and Network1, partially offset by lower bad debt expense.

In the fourth quarter of 2014, we recorded a $15.5 million legal recovery, net of attorney fees, related to our previously-disclosed ERP litigation.

We have elected to present changes in fair value of the contingent consideration owed to former shareholders of CDC, Imago ScanSource, and Network1 separately from other selling, general and administrative expenses. In the current year, we have recorded a $2.7 million loss, driven by recurring amortization of the unrecognized fair value discount, and the achievement of better-than-expected actual results for CDC and Imago ScanSource, partially offset by less than expected actual results for Network1.

Worldwide Barcode & Security

For the Barcode & Security segment, operating income increased $4.0 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the prior year. Operating income as a percentage of sales remained flat period to period. The increase in operating income is largely due to increased sales volume due to KBZ, partially offset by increased employee related costs and bad debt expense. Operating income was also negatively impacted by foreign currency translation of our European and Brazilian operations.

Worldwide Communications & Services

For the Communications & Services segment, operating income decreased $10.9 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the prior year. Operating income as a percentage of sales decreased to 3.9% from 5.1%. The decrease in operating income is primarily attributable to decreased gross profit margin, coupled with increased employee related costs and bad debt expense. Operating income was also negatively impacted by foreign currency translation of our European and Brazilian operations.

Interest expense reflects interest incurred on borrowings, non-utilization fees from the Company's revolving credit facility, and amortization of debt issuance costs. The interest expense increased principally from the borrowings on the Company's multi-currency revolving credit facility.

Interest income for the year ended June 30, 2016 was generated on interest-bearing customer receivables and interest earned on cash and cash equivalents. The increase in interest income year-over-year is largely driven by a higher effective interest rate on higher deposit levels in our Brazilian entity.

Net foreign exchange gains and losses consist of foreign currency transactional and functional currency re-measurements, offset by net foreign currency exchange contract gains and losses. Foreign exchange gains and losses are generated as the result of fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar versus the Brazilian real, the U.S. dollar versus the euro, the British pound versus the euro, the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar and other currencies versus U.S. dollar. While we utilize foreign exchange contracts and debt in non-functional currencies to hedge foreign currency exposure, our foreign exchange policy prohibits the use of derivative financial instruments for speculative transactions. The Company experienced foreign exchange losses as foreign currency exchange rates weakened against the U.S. dollar. Losses were partially offset by the use of foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge against currency exposures.

Interest income for the year ended June 30, 2015 was generated on interest-bearing customer receivables and interest earned on cash and cash equivalents.

The Company experienced higher foreign exchange losses as compared to prior year primarily from significant changes in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by the use of foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge against currency exposures. In addition, the increase includes the higher costs of foreign exchange hedging for Network1, primarily related to the hedging of the U.S. dollar-denominated accounts payable.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $32.4 million, $34.5 million, and $41.3 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014 respectively, reflecting an effective tax rate of 33.7%, 34.5%, and 33.6%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for fiscal year 2016 as compared to fiscal year 2015, is primarily due to additional tax credits generated. The increase in the effective tax rate for fiscal year 2015 as compared fiscal year 2014, is primarily due to the impact of non-deductible acquisition costs incurred during 2015. The Company expects the fiscal year 2017 effective tax rate to range between 34% and 35%.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP" or "GAAP").US GAAP. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis management evaluates its estimates, including those related to the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventory reserves to reduce inventories to the lower of cost or market,net realizable value and vendorsupplier incentives. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form a basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. For further discussion of our significant accounting policies, refer to Note 1 - Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
Allowances for Trade and Notes Receivable
The Company maintainsWe maintain an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable for estimated losses resulting from customers’ failure to make payments on accounts receivable due to the Company. Management determines the estimate of the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable by considering a number of factors, including: (1) historical experience, (2) aging of the accounts receivable, and (3) specific information obtained by the Company on the financial condition and the current creditworthiness of its customers.customers and (4) the current economic and country specific environment. If the financial condition of the Company’sour customers were to deteriorate and reduce the ability of the Company’sour customers to make payments on their accounts, the Companywe may be required to increase itsour allowance by recording additional bad debt expense. Likewise, should the financial condition of the Company’sour customers improve and result in payments or settlements of previously reserved amounts, the Companywe may be required to record a reduction in bad debt expense to reverse the recorded allowance.
Inventory Reserves
Management determines the inventory reserves required to reduce inventories to the lower of cost or marketnet realizable value based principally on the effects of technological changes, quantities of goods and length of time on hand and other factors. An estimate is made of the marketnet realizable value, less cost to dispose, of products whose value is determined to be impaired. If these products are ultimately sold at less than estimated amounts, additional reserves may be required. The estimates used to calculate these reserves are applied consistently. The adjustments are recorded in the period in which the loss of utility of the inventory occurs, which establishes a new cost basis for the inventory. This new cost basis is maintained until such time that the reserved inventory is disposed of, returned to the vendorsupplier or sold. To the extent that specifically reserved inventory is sold, cost of goods sold is expensed for the new cost basis of the inventory sold.
VendorSupplier Programs
The Company receivesWe receive incentives from vendorssuppliers related to volume rebates, cooperative advertising allowances and other incentive agreements. These incentives are generally under quarterly, semi-annual or annual agreements with the vendors.suppliers. Some of these incentives are negotiated on an ad hoc basis to support specific programs mutually developed between the Company and the vendor. Vendorssupplier. Suppliers generally require that we use their cooperative advertising allowances exclusively for advertising or other marketing programs. Incentives received from vendorssuppliers for specifically identified incremental cooperative advertising programs are recorded as adjustments to selling, general and administrativeSG&A expenses. FASB's ASC 605 – Revenue Recognition, addresses accounting by a customer (including a reseller) for certain consideration received from a vendor.supplier. This guidance requires that the portion of these vendorsupplier funds in excess of our costs be reflected as a reduction of inventory. Such funds are recognized as a reduction of the cost of products sold when the related inventory is sold.
The Company recordsWe record unrestricted volume rebates received as a reduction of inventory and as a reduction of the cost of goods sold when the related inventory is sold. Amounts received or receivables from vendorssuppliers that are not yet earned are deferred in the consolidated balance sheets.Consolidated Balance Sheets. Supplier receivables are generally collected through reductions to accounts payable authorized by the supplier. In addition, the Companywe may receive early payment discounts from certain vendors. The Company recordssuppliers. We record early payment discounts received as a reduction of inventory and recognizesrecognize the discount as a reduction of cost of goods sold when the related inventory is sold. ASC 605 requires management to make certain estimates of the amounts of vendorsupplier incentives that will be received. Actual recognition of the vendorsupplier consideration may vary from management estimates based on actual results.

Goodwill

We account for recorded goodwill in accordance with ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which requires that goodwill be reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. Goodwill testing utilizes an impairment

analysis, whereby we compare the carrying value of each identified reporting unit to its fair value. The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed at a reporting unit level at least annually for impairment, or more frequently if impairment indicators exist.

Communications & Services operating segments for a total of two reporting units. The goodwill testing utilizes a two-step impairment analysis, whereby the Company compares the carrying value of each identified reporting unit to its fair value.Services. The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using the net present value of discounted cash flows generated by each reporting unit. Considerable judgment is necessary in estimating future cash flows, discount rates and other factors affecting the estimated fair value of the reporting units, including the operating and macroeconomic factors. Historical financial information, internal plans and projections and industry information are used in making such estimates.
In the two-step impairment analysis, goodwill is first tested for impairment by comparing the
Under Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-04 if fair value of the reporting unit with the reporting unit's carrying amount to identify any potential impairment. Ifgoodwill fair value is determined to be less than carrying value, a second stepan impairment loss is used wherebyrecognized for the implied fairamount of the carrying value that exceeds the amount of the reporting unit'sunits' fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill determined through a hypothetical purchase price allocation, is compared withallocated to the reporting unit. Additionally, we would consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting units' goodwill. Ifunit when measuring the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is less than its carrying amount, an impairment charge is recorded in current earnings for the difference.loss, if applicable. We also assess the recoverability of goodwill if facts and circumstances indicate goodwill may be impaired. In our most recent annual test, we estimated the fair value of our reporting units primarily based on the income approach utilizing the discounted cash flow method. We also utilized fair value estimates derived from the market approach utilizing the public company market multiple method to validate the results of the discounted cash flow method, which required us to make assumptions about the applicability of those multiples to our reporting units. The discounted cash flow method requiredrequires us to estimate future cash flows and discount those amounts to a present value.
The key assumptions utilized in determining fair value included:

Industry weighted-average cost of capital ("WACC"): We utilized a WACC relative to each reporting unit's respective geography and industry as the discount rate for estimated future cash flows. The WACC is intended to represent a rate of return that would be expected by a market place participant in each respective geography.
Operating income: We utilized historical and expected revenue growth rates, gross margins and operating expense percentages, which varied based on the projections of each reporting unit being evaluated.
Cash flows from working capital changes: We utilized a projected cash flow impact pertaining to expected changes in working capital as each of our goodwill reporting units grow.
While we believe our assumptions are appropriate, they are subject to uncertainty and by nature include judgments and estimates regarding future events, including projected growth rates, margin percentages and operating efficiencies. Key assumptions used in determining fair value include projected growth and operating margin, working capital requirements and discount rates. During fiscal years 20162018 and 2015, the Company2017, we completed itsour annual impairment test as of each April 3030th and determined that noour goodwill impairment charge was necessary.is not at risk of impairment.
See Note 6 - Goodwill and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on our goodwill impairment testing and results.
Liability for Contingent Consideration
In addition to the initial cash consideration paid to former shareholders of CDC, Imago,Network1 and Network1, the Company isIntelisys, we are obligated to make additional earnout payments based on future results through a specified date based on a multiple of the subsidiary’s pro forma earnings as defined in the respective share purchase agreements.

We will pay the final earnout payment to the former shareholders of Network1 during fiscal year 2019. Intelisys has three remaining earnout payments to be paid in annual installments during fiscal years 20172019 through 2019.2021. In accordance with ASC Topic 805, the Company determineswe determine the fair value of this liability for contingent consideration at each reporting date throughout the term of the earnout using a form of a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. Each period, the Companywe will reflect the contingent consideration liability at fair value with changes recorded in the change in fair value of contingent consideration line item on the Consolidated Income Statement.

In general, as our sales volumes increase, our net investment in working capital typically increases, which typically results in decreased cash flow from operating activities. Conversely, when sales volumes decrease, our net investment in working capital typically decreases, which typically results in increased cash flow from operating activities.

ITEM 7A.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

The Company’sOur principal exposure to changes in financial market conditions in the normal course of itsour business is a result of itsour selective use of bank debt and transacting business in foreign currencies in connection with itsour foreign operations.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company isWe are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of itsour borrowing activities, which include revolving credit facilities with a group of banks used to maintain liquidity and fund the Company’sour business operations. The nature and amount of the Company’sour debt may vary as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates on borrowings on the Company’sour revolving credit facility and variable rate long-term debt, net of the impact of the interest rate swap, would have resulted in approximately a $2.3 million and subsidiary line of credit$1.3 million increase or decrease in pre-tax income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 20162018 would have resulted in less than a $0.9 million increase or decrease, respectively, in pre-tax income for the period.and 2017, respectively.

The Company evaluates itsWe evaluate our interest rate risk and may use interest rate swaps to mitigate the risk of interest rate fluctuations associated with the Company'sour current and long-term debt. At June 30, 2016, the Company2018 and 2017 we had $76.9$249.4 million and $97.3 million, respectively, in variable rate long term debt and borrowings under the revolving credit facility. In connection with the borrowings under the credit facility with noincluding potential future amendments or extensions of the facility, we entered into an interest rate swaps in place. The Company'sswap maturing on April 3, 2022 with a notional amount of $50 million to receive interest at a floating rate LIBOR and pay interest at a fixed rate. Our use of derivative instruments have the potential to expose the Companyus to certain market risks including the possibility of (1) the Company’sour hedging activities not being as effective as anticipated in reducing the volatility of the Company’sour cash flows, (2) the counterparty not performing its obligations under the applicable hedging arrangement, (3) the hedging arrangement being imperfect or ineffective or (4) the terms of the swap or associated debt changing. The Company seeksWe seek to lessen such risks by having established a policy to identify, control and manage market risks which may arise from changes in interest rates, as well as limiting itsour counterparties to major financial institutions.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

The Company isWe are exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from itsour foreign operations in Canada, Latin America, Brazil and Europe. These risks include transactions denominated in non-functional currencies and intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries. In the normal course of the business, foreign exchange risk is managed by the use of currency options and forward contracts to hedge these exposures as well as balance sheet netting of exposures. In addition, exchange rate fluctuations may cause our international results to fluctuate significantly when translated into U.S. dollars. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in foreign exchange rates would have resulted in approximately a $0.4 million and $1.9 million increase or decrease in pre-tax income for fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. These risks may change over time as business practices evolve and could have a material impact on the Company’sour financial results in the future.

The Company’sOur senior management has approved a foreign exchange hedging policy to reduce foreign currency exposure. The Company’sOur policy is to utilize financial instruments to reduce risks where internal netting cannot be effectively employed and not to enter into foreign currency derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The Company monitors itsWe monitor our risk associated with the volatility of certain foreign currencies against itsour functional currencies and entersenter into foreign exchange derivative contracts to minimize short-term currency risks on cash flows. These positions are based upon balance sheet exposures and, in certain foreign currencies, our forecasted purchases and sales. The CompanyWe continually evaluatesevaluate foreign exchange risk and may enter into foreign exchange transactions in accordance with itsour policy. Actual variances from these forecasted transactions can adversely impact foreign exchange results. Foreign currency gains and losses are included in other expense (income).

The Company hasWe have elected not to designate itsour foreign currency contracts as hedging instruments, and therefore, the instruments are marked-to-market with changes in their values recorded in the consolidated income statement each period. The Company'sOur foreign currencies are primarily Brazilian reais, euros, British pounds, Canadian dollars, Mexican pesos, Colombian pesos, Chilean pesos and Peruvian nuevos soles. At June 30, 20162018, the fair value of the Company’sour currency forward contracts outstandingcontract was of net receivable of less than $0.1 million. The fair value of our currency forward contract was a net payable of less than $0.5 million. The Company does$0.1 million at June 30, 2017. We do not utilize financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

Definition and limitations of internal control over financial reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as

Consolidation Policy

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Related Party Transactions

A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of the Company’s securities and their immediate families, (ii) the Company’s management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. There were no material related party transactions for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015,2018, 2017 and 2014.2016.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP")US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, contingent consideration and inventory reserves. Management bases its estimates on assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form a basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions; however, management believes that its estimates, including those for the above described items, are reasonable and that the actual results will not vary significantly from the estimated amounts.

The following significant accounting policies relate to the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements:

(a) Allowances for Trade and Notes Receivable

The Company maintains an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable for estimated losses resulting from customers’ failure to make payments on accounts receivable due to the Company.

Management determines the estimate of the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable by considering a number of factors, including: (1) historical experience, (2) aging of the accounts receivable, (3) specific information obtained by the Company on the financial condition and the current creditworthiness of its customers and (4) the current economic and country specific environment. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate and reduce the ability of the Company’s customers to make payments on their accounts, the Company may be required to increase its allowance by recording additional bad debt expense. Likewise, should the financial condition of the Company’s customers improve and result in

payments or settlements of previously reserved amounts, the Company may be required to record a reduction in bad debt expense to reverse the recorded allowance.

(b) Inventory Reserves

Management determines the inventory reserves required to reduce inventories to the lower of cost or marketnet realizable value based principally on the effects of technological changes, quantities of goods, and length of time on hand and other factors. An estimate is made of the marketnet realizable value, less cost to dispose, of products whose value is determined to be impaired. If these products are ultimately sold at less than estimated amounts, additional reserves may be required. The estimates used to calculate these reserves are applied consistently. The adjustments are recorded in the period in which the loss of utility of the inventory occurs, which establishes a new cost basis for the inventory. This new cost basis is maintained until such time that the reserved inventory is disposed of, returned to the vendorsupplier or sold. To the extent that specifically reserved inventory is sold, cost of goods sold is expensed for the new cost basis of the inventory sold.

(c) Purchase Price Allocations

For each acquisition, the Company allocates the purchase price to assets acquired, liabilities assumed and goodwill and intangibles in accordance with ASCthe FASB's Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805. We recognizeThe Company recognizes assets and liabilities acquired at the their estimated fair values. Management uses judgment to (1) identify the acquired assets and liabilities assumed, (2) estimate the fair value of these assets, (3) estimate the useful life of the assets and (4) assess the appropriate method for recognizing depreciation or amortization expense over the asset’s useful life.

(d) Goodwill Fair Value

The Company estimates the fair value of its goodwill reporting units primarily based on the income approach utilizing the discounted cash flow method. The Company also utilizes fair value estimates derived from the market approach utilizing the public company market multiple method to validate the results of the discounted cash flow method, which requires it to make assumptions about the applicability of those multiples to its reporting units. The discounted cash flow method requires the Company to estimate future cash flows, using key assumptions such as the weighted average cost of capital, revenue growth rates, projected gross margin and operating margin percentage growth, expected working capital changes and a related cash flow impact from working capital changes, and then discount those amounts to present value.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains some zero-balance disbursement accounts at various financial institutions in which the Company does not maintain significant depository relationships. Due to the natureterms of the Company’s banking relationships withagreements governing these institutions,accounts, the Company does not have the right to offset most if not all outstanding checks written from these accounts against cash on hand and the respective institutions are not legally obligated to honor the checks until sufficient funds are transferred to fund the checks. ChecksAs a result, checks released but not yet cleared from these accounts in the amounts of $78.35.7 million and $62.98.3 million are classified as accounts payable as of June 30, 20162018 and June 30, 20152017, respectively.

The Company maintains its cash with various financial institutions globally that are monitored regularly for credit quality and holds amounts in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") limits or other insured limits. Cash and cash equivalents held outside of the United States totaled $52.7$20.3 million and $43.4$47.9 million as of June 30, 20162018 and 2015,2017, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company sells to a large base of value-added resellerscustomers throughout the United States, Canada, Latin America and Europe. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. In certain cases, the Company will accept tangible assets as collateral to increase the trade credit of its customers. In addition, the Company carries credit insurance on certain subsections of the customer portfolio. No single customer accounted for more than 5%6% of the Company’s net sales for fiscal years 2016 , 2015,2018. No single customer accounted for more than 5% of the Company's net sales for fiscal 2017 or 2014.2016.

TheIn the event that the Company hasdoes not collect payment on accounts receivable within the established arrangements withtrade terms for certain customers, the Company may establish arrangements for longer-term financing. The Company accounts for these arrangements by recording them at their historical cost less specific allowances at balance sheet dates. Interest income is recognized in the period earned and is recorded as interest income in the Consolidated Income Statement.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses derivative instruments to manage certain exposures related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates in connection with borrowing activities. We recordThe Company records all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company’s foreign currency exposure results from purchasing and selling internationally in several foreign currencies and from intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries. In addition, the Company may have foreign currency risk related to debt that is denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The Company's foreign currencies are denominated primarily in Brazilian reais, euros, British pounds, Canadian dollars, Mexican pesos, Colombian pesos, Chilean pesos and Peruvian nuevos.nuevos sols.

The Company may reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates by creating offsetting positions through the use of derivative financial instruments. The market risk related to the foreign exchange agreements is offset by changes in the valuation of the underlying items. These contracts are generally for a duration of 90 days or less. The Company has elected not to designate its foreign currency contracts as hedging instruments. They are, therefore, marked-to-market with changes in their fair value recorded in the Consolidated Income Statement each period. Derivative financial instruments related to foreign currency exposure are accounted for on an accrual basis with gains or losses on these contracts recorded in income in the period in which their value changes, with the offsetting entry for unsettled positions reflected in either other assets or other liabilities.

DuringThe Company's earnings are affected by changes in interest rates due to the fiscalimpact those changes have on interest expense from floating rate debt instruments. To manage the exposure, the Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement and designated this instrument as a hedge of the cash flows on certain variable rate debt. To the extent the derivative instrument was effective in offsetting the variability of the hedged cash flows, changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument were not included in current earnings, but were reported as other comprehensive income (loss). There was no ineffective portion to be recorded as an adjustment to earnings for the year ended June 30, 2015, through the acquisition of Network1, the Company assumed borrowings denominated in foreign currencies that were hedged into the functional currency of the respective borrowing entity using cross-currency swaps in order to mitigate the impact of foreign currency exposures and interest rate exposures on these borrowings. These swaps involved the exchange of principal and fixed interest receipts of U.S. dollar-denominated debt held by one of our Brazilian subsidiaries (Network1) for principal and variable interest payments in Brazilian reais. The impact of the changes in foreign exchange rates of the cross-currency debt instruments were recognized as adjustments to other income and expense in the Consolidated Income Statements. Interest rate differentials paid or received under the swap agreements were recognized as adjustments to interest expense in the Consolidated Income Statements.2018.

Investments

The Company has investments that are held in a grantor trust formed by the Company related to the ScanSource, Inc. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan and Founder’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP"). The Company has classified these investments as trading securities, and they are recorded at fair market value with unrealized gains and losses included in the accompanying Consolidated Income Statements. The Company’s obligations under this deferred compensation plan change in concert with the performance of the investments along with contributions to and withdrawals from the plan. The fair value of these investments and the corresponding deferred compensation obligation was $17.923.4 million and $16.021.4 million as of June 30, 20162018 and June 30, 20152017, respectively. These investments are classified as either prepaid expenses and current assets or other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets depending on the timing of planned disbursements. The deferred compensation obligation is classified either within accrued expenses and other current liabilities or other long-term liabilities as well. The amounts of these investments classified as current assets with corresponding current liabilities were $1.6 million and $0.72.7 million at June 30, 20162018 and June 30, 20152017, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories (consisting entirely of finished goods) are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.net realizable value.

VendorSupplier Programs

The Company receives incentives from vendorssuppliers related to cooperative advertising allowances, volume rebates and other incentive agreements. These incentives are generally under quarterly, semi-annual or annual agreements with the vendors.suppliers. Some of these incentives are negotiated on an ad hoc basis to support specific programs mutually developed between the Company and the vendor. Vendorssupplier. Suppliers generally require that wethe Company use theirthe suppliers' cooperative advertising allowances exclusively for advertising or other marketing programs. Incentives received from vendorssuppliers for specifically identified incremental cooperative advertising programs are recorded as adjustments to selling, general and administrative expenses.

The Company records unrestricted volume rebates received as a reduction of inventory and reduces the cost of goods sold when the related inventory is sold. Amounts received or receivables from suppliers that are not yet earned are deferred in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Supplier receivables are generally collected through reductions to accounts payable authorized by the supplier. In addition, the Company may receive early payment discounts from certain suppliers. The Company records early payment discounts received as a reduction of inventory, thereby resulting in a reduction of cost of goods sold when the related inventory is sold. ASC 605 requires management to make certain estimates of the amounts of vendorsupplier incentives that will be received. Actual recognition of the vendorsupplier consideration may vary from management estimates.

VendorSupplier Concentration

The Company sells products from many vendors,suppliers, however, sales of products supplied by Avaya, Cisco and Zebra each constituted more than 10% of the Company’s net sales for the yearyears ended June 30, 2016. For the year ended June 30, 2015, sales of products supplied by Avaya2018, 2017 and Zebra each constituted more than 10% of the Company's net sales. Sales of products supplied by Avaya, Honeywell, and Zebra constituted more than 10% of the Company's net sales for the year ended June 30, 2014.2016.

Product Warranty

The Company’s vendorssuppliers generally provide a warranty on the products provided by the Company and allow the Company to return defective products, including those that have been returned to the Company by its customers. In three of ourits product lines, the Company offers a self-branded warranty program, in which management has determined that the Company is the primary obligor. The Company purchases contracts from unrelated third parties, generally the original equipment manufacturers, to fulfill any obligation to service or replace defective product claimed on these warranty programs. As a result, the Company has not recorded a provision for estimated service warranty costs. For all other product lines, the Company does not independently provide a warranty on the products it sells; however, toTo maintain customer relations, the Company facilitates returns of defective products from the Company’sCompany's customers by accepting for exchange, with the Company’sCompany's prior approval, most defective products within 30 days of invoicing.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 3 to 10 years for furniture, equipment and computer software, 25 to 40 years for buildings and 15 years for building improvements. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged to expense as incurred. Additions, major renewals and betterments to property and equipment are capitalized.

To the extent that the Company has longstanding, "in-process" projects that have not been implemented for their intended operational use, the Company capitalizes the portion of interest expense incurred during the asset's acquisition period that theoretically could have been avoided in accordance with ASC 835. The amount capitalized is determined by applying the appropriate capitalization rate to the average amount of accumulated expenditures for the asset during the reporting period. The capitalization rate used is based on the rates applicable to borrowings outstanding during the reporting period. The Company has not recorded any capitalized interest for the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

Capitalized Software

The Company accounts for capitalized software in accordance with ASC 350-40, which provides guidance for computer software developed or obtained for internal use. The Company is required to continually evaluate the stage of the implementation process to determine whether or not costs are expensed or capitalized. Costs incurred during the preliminary project phase or planning and research phase are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred during the development phase, such as material and direct services costs, compensation costs of employees associated with the development and interest cost, are capitalized as incurred. Costs incurred during the post-implementation or operation phase, such as training and maintenance costs, are expensed as incurred. In addition, costs incurred to modify existing software that result in additional functionality are capitalized as incurred.

Goodwill

The Company accounts for recorded goodwill in accordance with ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which requires that goodwill be reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. Goodwill testing utilizes a two-stepan impairment analysis, whereby the Company compares the carrying value of each identified reporting unit to its fair value. The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed at a reporting unit level at least annually for impairment, or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. Our goodwill reporting units align directly with our operating segments, Barcode & Security and Communications & Services. The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using the net present value of discounted cash flows generated by

Company's goodwill reporting units align directly with its operating segments, Worldwide Barcode, Networking & Worldwide Security and Communications & Services. The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using the net present value of discounted cash flows generated by each reporting unit. Considerable judgment is necessary in estimating future cash flows, discount rates and other factors affecting the estimated fair value of the reporting units, including the operating and macroeconomic factors. Historical financial information, internal plans and projections and industry information are used in making such estimates.

In the two-step impairment analysis, goodwill is first tested for impairment by comparing theUnder ASU 2017-04 if fair value of the reporting unit with the reporting unit's carrying amount to identify any potential impairment. If fair valuegoodwill is determined to be less than carrying value, a second stepan impairment loss is used wherebyrecognized for the implied fairamount of the carrying value that exceeds the amount of the reporting unit'sunits' fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill determined through a hypothetical purchase price allocation, is compared withallocated to the reporting unit. Additionally, the Company would consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting units' goodwill. Ifunit when measuring the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is less than its carrying amount, an impairment charge is recorded in current earnings for the difference. Weloss, if applicable. The Company also assessassesses the recoverability of goodwill if facts and circumstances indicate goodwill may be impaired. In ourits most recent annual test, wethe Company estimated the fair value of ourits reporting units primarily based on the income approach utilizing the discounted cash flow method. WeThe Company also utilizedcorroborated the fair value estimates derived from the income approach by considering the implied market approach utilizing the public company market multiple method to validate the resultsmultiples of the discounted cash flow method, which required us to make assumptions about the applicability of those multiples to our reporting units.comparable transactions and companies. The discounted cash flow method required usthe Company to estimate future cash flows and discount those amounts to present value. The key assumptions utilized in determining fair value included:

Industry weighted-average cost of capital ("WACC"): WeThe Company utilized a WACC relative to each reporting unit's respective geography and industry as the discount rate for estimated future cash flows. The WACC is intended to represent a rate of return that would be expected by a market place participant in each respective geography.
Operating income: WeThe Company utilized historical and expected revenue growth rates, gross margins and operating expense percentages, which varied based on the projections of each reporting unit being evaluated.
Cash flows from working capital changes: WeOther cash flow adjustments: The Company utilized a projected cash flow impact pertaining to depreciation, capital expenditures and expected changes in working capital as each of ourits goodwill reporting units grow.

See Note 6 - Goodwill and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets for more information regarding goodwill and the results of our testing.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of customer relationships, trade names, distributor agreements, supplier partner programs, intellectual property, non-compete agreements and non-compete agreements.an encryption key library. Customer relationships, and distributor agreements, supplier partner programs and the encryption key library are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which range from 5 to 15 years. Trade names are amortized over a period ranging from 1 to 5 years. Non-compete agreements are amortized over their contract life.

Debt issuance costs are amortized over the term of the credit facility.

These assets are shown in detail in Note 6 - Goodwill and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Tests for recoverability of a long-lived asset to be held and used are measured by comparing the carrying amount of the long-lived asset to the sum of the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. In estimating the future undiscounted cash flows, we usethe Company uses projections of cash flows directly associated with, and which are expected to arise as a direct result of, the use and eventual disposition of the assets. If it is determined that a long-lived asset is not recoverable, an impairment loss would be calculated equal to the excess of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset over its fair value.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of financial instruments is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The carrying values of financial instruments such as accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, borrowings under the revolving credit facility and subsidiary lines of credit approximate fair value based upon either short maturities or variable interest rates of these instruments. For additional information related to the fair value of derivatives, please see Note 9 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

Liability for Contingent Consideration

In addition to the initial cash consideration paid to former shareholders of CDC, Imago,Network1 and Network1,Intelisys, the Company is obligated to make additional earnout payments based on future results through a specified date based on a multiple of the subsidiary’s pro forma earnings measure as defined in the respective share purchase agreements. Future payments are to be paid in the subsidiary's local currency.functional currency of the acquired entity, which is the Brazilian real for Network1 and U.S. dollars for Intelisys. The Company paid the final earnout payment to the former shareholders of CDC during fiscal year 2016 and the final earnout payment to Imago during fiscal year 2017. The Company also made a single earnout payment to the former shareholders of POS Portal during fiscal year 2018 in accordance with the share purchase agreement.
Network1 has one remaining earnout payment to be paid during fiscal year 2019. Intelisys has three remaining earnout payments to be paid in annual installments during fiscal years 2019 through 2021.

Contingencies

The Company accrues for contingent obligations, including estimated legal costs, when it is probable that a liability is incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable. As facts concerning contingencies become known, management reassesses its position and makes appropriate adjustments to the financial statements. Estimates that are particularly sensitive to future changes include tax, legal and other regulatory matters, which are subject to change as events evolve and as additional information becomes available during the administrative and litigation process.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized once four criteria are met: (1) the Company must have persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (2) delivery must occur (this includes the transfer of both title and risk of loss, provided that no significant obligations remain); (3) the price must be fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability must be reasonably assured. The Company allows its customers to return product for exchange or credit, subject to certain limitations. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities, such as sales taxes and value added taxes, are excluded from net sales.

The Company provides third-party service contracts, typically for product maintenance and support. These service contracts are sold separately from the products, and the Company often serves as the agent for the contract on behalf of the original equipment manufacturer. Since the Company acts as an agent on behalf of most of these service contracts sold, revenue is recognized net of cost at the time of sale. However, the Company provides some self-branded warranty programs and engages a third party (generally the original equipment manufacturer) to cover the fulfillment of any obligations arising from these contracts. These revenues and associated third-party costs are amortized over the life of the contract and presented in net sales and cost of goods sold, respectively.

Service revenue associated with third-party service contracts and warranty programs, as mentioned above, along with configuration and marketing services, is recognized when the work is complete and the four criteria discussed above have been substantially met. Service revenue associated with service contracts, warranty programs, configuration, marketing and other services approximates 3% of consolidated net sales for fiscal years 20162018, 2017 and 2015, compared2016.

The Company provides hardware and value added services for point of sale and payment equipment. This includes terminals, related accessories, financing, device configuration as well as software licenses, professional services and hardware support programs.  The Company is the primary obligor for all hardware, software and services sold and recognizes such revenue and cost of goods sold on a gross basis. The revenue associated with rental offerings to 2%customers is recognized in net sales and the cost associated with such offering is recognized as depreciation on the capitalized equipment in cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Income Statements.

Through the Intelisys acquisition, the Company has a recurring revenue model in which the Company acts as a master agent partnering suppliers with sales agents to provide telecommunications and cloud services to end-users. As the Company acts as an agent on behalf of the suppliers' services, commission revenue received from the supplier is recognized net of cost associated with the commissions the Company pays to sales agents, at the time of sale. Revenue associated with the recurring revenue model approximates 1% of consolidated net sales for fiscal year 2014.2018.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 20152018, 2017 and 20142016, the Company did not engage in sales transactions involving multiple element arrangements.

Foreign Currency

The currency effects of translating the financial statements of the Company’s foreign entities that operate in their local currency are included in the cumulative currency translation adjustment component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. The Company's functional currencies include U.S. dollars, Brazilian reais, euros, British pounds, Colombian pesos and Canadian dollars. The assets and liabilities of these foreign entities are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at the end of the respective period. Sales, costs and expenses are translated at average exchange rates effective during the respective period. Foreign currency transactional and re-measurement gains and losses are included in other expense (income) in the Consolidated Income Statements. Such amounts are not significant to any of the periods presented.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes reflect tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts. ValuationIn accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes valuation allowances are provided against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that an asset will not be realized. Additionally, the Company maintains reserves for uncertain tax provisions.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"). The Company has accounted for changes in the tax provision in accordance with ASC 740, the new law.

Since this compensation cost is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requiresASU 2016-09 allows companies to elect an accounting policy either to continue to estimate the total number of awards for which the requisite service period will not be rendered or to account for forfeitures when they occur.

The Company has elected to expense grants of awards with graded vesting on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award.

Common stock repurchases

Repurchases of common stock are accounted for at cost, which includes brokerage fees, and are included as a component of shareholder's equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In August 2014, our Board of Directors authorized a three-year $120 million share repurchase program. Through June 30, 2016, the Company completed the program, repurchasing 3.4 million shares totaling approximately $119.5 million. In August 2016, the Board of Directors authorized a new three-year $120 million share repurchase program.

The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. ASC 805 establishes principles and requirements for recognizing the total consideration transferred to and the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquired target in a business combination. ASC 805 also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring goodwill acquired in a business combination and requires the acquirer to disclose information that users may need to evaluate and understand the financial impact of the business combination. See Note 5 - Acquisitions for further discussion. 

Reclassifications

In accordance with ASU 2015-17, all priorCertain reclassifications have been made on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to show taxes paid on settlement of equity awards separately from exercise of stock options under cash flows from financing activities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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, 2017. Early application is prohibited. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. ThisThe Company adopted this guidance will be applicable to the Company for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2018.2018 using the full retrospective transition method. The Company engaged a third-party consultant to assist with developing a multi-phase plan to assess the impact of

adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASC 606 to have a material impact to the financial statements and is currently in the process of finalizing policy and procedure documentation around the adoption of the standard. Additionally, the Company is in the process of evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements uponof the adoption of this new standard.

In December 2015, the FASB issued final guidance requiring companies to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent on the balance sheet rather than separating deferred taxes into current and noncurrent amounts. In addition, companies will also be required to classify valuation allowances on deferred taxes as noncurrent. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted. The guidance may be adopted on either a prospective or retrospective basis. This guidance was adopted by the Company during fiscal year 2016.expanded disclosure requirements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) requiring lessees to reflect most leases on their balance sheets and recognize expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current guidance. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability, which is a lessee‘slessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The asset will be measured at the lease liability amount, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received and the lessee's initial direct costs. For leases with a lease term of 12 months or less, as long as the lease does not include options to purchase the underlying assets, lessees can elect not to recognize a lease liability and right-of-use asset. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged, and the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions is simplified. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This guidance will be applicable to the Company for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2019. The guidance mustcan be adopted using a modified retrospective approach or a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance sheet of retained earnings in the period of adoption for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements upon the adoption of this new guidance.

In MarchAugust 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09,2016-15, Compensation - Stock CompensationStatement of Cash Flows (Topic 718)230) simplifying several aspectsintended to reduce diversity in practice of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures,how certain cash receipts and statutory withholding requirements, as well as classificationcash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. UnderThe update addresses eight specific cash flow issues, with the new guidance, an entity will recognize all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit intreatment of contingent consideration payments made after a business combination being the income statement. This change eliminates the current practice of recognizing excess tax benefits in additional paid-in-capital ("APIC") and tax deficiencies in APICmost directly applicable to the extentCompany. The update requires that there is a sufficient APIC pool related to previously recognized excess tax benefits. In addition, excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies are considered discrete items in the reporting period they occur and are not included in the estimate ofcash payments made approximately three months or less after an entity’s annual effective tax rate. As for classification on the statement of cash flows, excess tax benefits will no longer represent a financing activity since they are recognized in the income statement, and will appropriatelyacquisition's consummation date should be classified as an operating activity. The ASU allows an entitycash outflows for investing activities. Payment made thereafter up to elect as an accounting policy either to continue to estimate the total number of awards for which the requisite service period will not be rendered (as currently required) or to account for forfeitures when they occur. In regards to statutory withholding requirements, the new guidance stipulates that the net settlement of an award would not result, by itself, in liability classificationamount of the award provided thatoriginal contingent consideration liability should be classified as cash outflows from financing activities. Payments made in excess of the amount withheld for taxes does not exceedof the maximum statutory tax rate in the employees’ relevant tax jurisdictions.original contingent consideration liability should be classified as cash outflows from operating activities. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016,2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted. The standard will be applicable to the Company for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2018. The guidance requires adoption using a retrospective transition method. Upon adoption, the Company expects to retroactively reclassify cash outflows between financing activities and operating activities related to contingent consideration payments in excess of the originally valued contingent consideration liability at the date of acquisition.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) that amends and simplifies guidance related to hedge accounting to more accurately portray the economics of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. If earlyEarly adoption is elected, all amendmentspermitted in the ASU that apply must be adopted in the sameany interim or annual period. This guidance will be applicable to the Company for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2017.2019. The guidance requires adoption using a modified retrospective approach. The presentation and disclosure requirements apply prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements upon the adoption of this new guidance.

The Company has reviewed other newly issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they are either not applicable to its business or that no material effect is expected on its consolidated financial statements as a result of future adoption.

(8)    Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The Company’s results of operations could be materially impacted by significant changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. These risks and the management of these risks are discussed in greater detail below. In an effort to manage the exposure to these risks, the Company periodically enters into various derivative instruments. The Company’s accounting policies for these instruments are based on whether the instruments are designated as hedge or non-hedge instruments in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company records all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments or the ineffective portions of cash flow hedges are adjusted to fair value through earnings in other income and expense.

Foreign Currency Derivatives – The Company conducts a portion of its business internationally in a variety of foreign currencies. The exposure to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates arises from foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities and transactions arising from non-functional currency financing or trading activities. The Company’s objective is to preserve the economic value of non-functional currency denominated cash flows. The Company attempts to hedge transaction exposures with natural offsets to the fullest extent possible and once these opportunities have been exhausted throughthe Company uses currency options and forward contracts or other hedging instruments with third parties. These contracts will periodically hedge the exchange of various currencies, including the U.S. dollar, Brazilian real, euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, Mexican peso, Colombian peso, Chilean peso and Chilean peso.Peruvian nuevo sol. While the Company utilizes foreign exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency exposure, the Company's foreign exchange policy prohibits the use of derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

The Company had contracts outstanding with notional amounts of $46.274.6 million and $80.6$67.1 million for the exchange of foreign currencies as of June 30, 20162018 and 2015,2017, respectively. To date, the Company has chosen not to designate these derivatives as hedging instruments, and accordingly, these instruments are adjusted to fair value through earnings in other income and expense. Summarized financial information related to these derivative contracts and changes in the underlying value of the foreign currency exposures are as follows:

Net foreign exchange gains and losses consist of foreign currency transactional and functional currency re-measurements, offset by net foreign currency exchange contract gains and losses and are included in other income and expense. Foreign exchange gains and losses are generated as the result of fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar versus the Brazilian real, the U.S. dollar versus the euro, British pound versus the euro and other currencies versus the U.S. dollar.

Cross-Currency Swaps Interest Rates –– Through The Company’s earnings are also affected by changes in interest rates due to the acquisition of Network1,impact those changes have on interest expense from floating rate debt instruments. To manage the exposure to interest rates, the Company had borrowings denominated in foreign currencies that were primarily hedgedentered into the functional currency of the respective borrowing entity using cross-currency swaps in order to mitigate the impact of foreign currency exposures andan interest rate exposuresswap agreement with a notional amount of $50 million scheduled to mature on these borrowings. These swaps involvedApril 3, 2022. This swap agreement is designated as a cash flow hedge to hedge the exchange of principal and fixed interest receipts of U.S. dollar-denominated debt held by one of our Brazilian subsidiaries (Network1) for principal and variable rate interest payments in Brazilian reais. The impact ofon the changes in foreign exchange rates of the cross-currency debt instruments were recognized as adjustments to other income and expense in the Consolidated Income Statements.revolving credit facility. Interest rate differentials paid or received under the swap agreements wereagreement are recognized as adjustments to interest expenseexpense. To the extent the swap is effective in offsetting the variability of the hedged cash flows, changes in the Consolidated Income Statements, which totaled approximately $0.5 millionfair value of the swap are not included in current earnings but are reported as other comprehensive income (loss). There was no ineffective portion to be recorded as an adjustment to earnings for the yearfiscal years ended June 30, 2015. The outstanding swaps were settled2018 and the related borrowings were repaid in full during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.2017.

(9)    Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Accounting guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Under this guidance, the Company is required to classify certain assets and liabilities based on the fair value hierarchy, which groups fair value-measured assets and liabilities based upon the following levels of inputs:

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 assets and liabilities maintained by the Company that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis include deferred compensation plan investments, outstandingforward foreign currency exchange forward contracts, interest rate swap agreements and contingent consideration owed to the previous owners of CDC, Imago ScanSource,Network1 and Network1.Intelisys. The carrying value of debt listed in Note 7 - Short-Term Borrowings and Long Term Debt is considered to approximate fair value, as the Company's debt instruments are indexed to a variable rate using the market approach (Level 2 criteria).

The Company recorded contingent consideration liabilities at the acquisition date of CDC, Imago ScanSourceNetwork1, Intelisys and Network1POS Portal representing the amounts payable to former shareholders, as outlined under the terms of the applicable share purchase agreements, based upon the achievement of a projected earnings measure, net of specific pro forma adjustments. The current and non-current portions of these obligations are reported separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the contingent considerations (Level 3) are determined using a form of a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities are recorded to the change in fair value of contingent consideration line item in the Consolidated Income Statements. Fluctuations due to foreign currency translation are captured in other comprehensive income through the changes in foreign currency translation adjustments line item as seen in Note 15 - Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income.

reflected in the change in fair value of contingent consideration line item on the Company's Consolidated Income Statement that is included in the calculation of operating income. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability associated with future earnout payments is based on several factors, including:

estimated future results, net of pro forma adjustments set forth in the applicable share purchase agreements;
the probability of achieving these results; and
a discount rate reflective of the Company's creditworthiness and market risk premium associated with the United States and Brazilian and European markets.

A change in any of these unobservable inputs can significantly change the fair value of the contingent consideration. Valuation techniques and significant observable inputs used in recurring Level 3 fair value measurements for our contingent consideration liabilities as of June 30, 2018 and 2017 were as follows.

June 30, 2017Discounted cash flowWeighted average cost of capital14.2%
Adjusted EBITDA growth rate17.0%

The weighted average cost of capital ("WACC") decreased year-over-year largely due to the reduction in the WACC used for the Network1 contingent consideration liability as the earnout period is complete as of June 30, 2018.

Network1

The fair value of the liability for the contingent consideration related to Imago ScanSourceNetwork1 recognized at June 30, 20162018 was $2.9$10.7 million all of which the entire balance is classified as current. The change in fair value of the contingent consideration recognized in the Consolidated Income Statements contributed a loss of $21.0 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, which is primarily due to a change in estimate of the current year payment to the former shareholders of Network1, additional agreed upon adjustments to the projected final settlement and improved actual results for the fiscal year. In addition, volatility in the foreign exchange between the Brazilian real and the U.S. dollar has driven changes in the translation of this Brazilian real denominated liability.

The change in fair value of the contingent consideration recognized in the Consolidated Income Statements contributed a loss of $16.0 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, which was primarily due to the recurring amortization of the unrecognized fair value discount and an adjustment to the probability weights in the discounted cash flow model. Although there is no contractual limit, total future undiscounted contingent consideration payments are anticipated to range up to $115.3 million, based on the Company’s best estimate of the earnout calculated on a multiple of adjusted earnings.

The fair value of the liability for the contingent consideration related to Intelisys recognized at June 30, 2017 was $107.1 million of which $25.3 million is classified as current. The change in fair value of the contingent consideration recognized in the Consolidated Income Statements contributed a loss of $12.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, which was largely driven by the recurring amortization of the unrecognized fair value discount and achievementimprovements in projected results.

Imago

The final payment of better than expectedthe contingent consideration related to Imago was paid during the quarter ended December 31, 2016. The change in fair value of contingent consideration recognized in the Consolidated Income Statements contributed a gain of $1.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, which was largely driven by actual results.results that were less-than-expected, including special adjustments as determined by the purchase agreement and recurring amortization of the unrecognized fair value discount. In addition, volatility in the foreign exchange rate between the British pound and the U.S. dollar drove changes in the translation of this British pound denominatedpound-denominated liability. Although there is no contractual limit, total future undiscounted contingent consideration payments are anticipated to range between $2.9 million and $3.0 million, based on

Share-Based Compensation Plans

The Company has awards outstanding from threetwo share-based compensation plans (the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan, the 2002 Long-Term Incentive Plan and the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan). Awards are currently only being granted under the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan. As of June 30, 20162018, there were 2,234,4453,786,727 shares available for future grant under the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan. All of the Company’s share-based compensation plans are shareholder approved, and it is the Company’s belief that such awards better align the interests of its employees and directors with those of its shareholders. Under the plans, the Company is authorized to award officers, employees, consultants and non-employee members of the Board of Directors various share-based payment awards, including options to purchase common stock and restricted stock. Restricted stock can be in the form of a restricted stock award ("RSA"), restricted stock unit ("RSU") or a performance unit ("PU"). An RSA is common stock that is subject to risk of forfeiture or other restrictions that lapse upon satisfaction of specified conditions. An RSU represents the right to receive shares of common stock in the future with the right to future delivery of the shares subject to risk of forfeiture or other restrictions that lapse upon satisfaction of specified conditions.

The Company accounts for its share-based compensation awards in accordance with ASC 718 – Stock Compensation, which requires all share-based compensation to be recognized in the income statement based on fair value and applies to all awards granted, modified, canceled or repurchased after the effective date. Total share-based compensation included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Income Statements was as follows:

Stock Options

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 20162018, the Company granted stock options for 128,000119,132 shares to certain employees.shares. These options vest annually over 3 years and have a 10-year contractual life. These options were granted with an exercise price that is no less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of the grant.

The fair value of each option (for purposes of calculation of share-based compensation) was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula that uses assumptions determined at the date of grant. Use of this option pricing model requires the input of subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them ("expected term"), the estimated volatility of ourthe Company's common stock price over the expected term ("expected volatility") and the number of options that will ultimately not complete their vesting requirements ("forfeitures"). Changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimate of the fair value of share-based compensation and, consequently, the related amount recognized in the Consolidated Income Statements.

The weighted-average expected term of the options represents the period of time the options are expected to be outstanding based on historical trends and behaviors of certain groups and individuals receiving these awards. The expected volatility is predominantly based on the historical volatility of our common stock for a period approximating the expected term. The risk-free interest rate reflects the interest rate at grant date on zero-coupon U.S.United States governmental bonds that have a remaining life similar to the expected option term. The dividend yield assumption was based on ourthe Company's dividend payment history and management's expectations of future dividend payments.

The total number for target shares granted could differ from the actual shares vested at the conclusion of the performance cycle. See the Company's 2018 Proxy Statement for more information about these grants.
(1)(2) Under the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan, non-employee directors will receive annual awards of restricted stock, as opposed to stock options. The number of shares of restricted stock to be granted will beis established from time to time by the Board of Directors. Currently, the number of shares of restricted stock awarded annually to each non-employee director generally will beis determined by dividing $100,000 by the equity award value of the common stock on the date of grant, as defined in the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The equity award value means the value per share based on a 45-day averaging of the fair market value of the common stock over a specified period of time, or the fair market value of the common stock on a specified date. These awards will generally vest in full on the day that is six months after the date of grant or upon the earlier occurrence of (i) the director’s termination of service as a director by reason of death, disability or retirement or (ii) a change in control by the Company. The compensation expense associated with these awards will be recognized on a pro-rata basis over this period.

(1) These target shares granted as RSUs during fiscal year 2015 have service based and performance based vesting conditions. The actual number of shares granted for each of the three tranches, for the period June 1, 2014 through June 30, 2017, is determined after the date of the Company's financial statements. Therefore, the adjustment recognized during fiscal year 20162018 represents the variance between the shares assumed to be granted versus at June 30, 20152017 the actual shares granted for the firstthird tranche.

As of June 30, 20162018, there was approximately $7.66.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock awards and restricted stock units granted, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.081.23 years. The Company withheld 42,37947,470 shares for income taxes during the fiscal year ended June 30, 20162018.

Employer contributions are vested over a five-year period.

(12)    Income Taxes

IncomeOn December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act reduces the corporate federal tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018 and implements a modified territorial tax system. Since the Company has a June 30th fiscal year-end, the lower tax rate resulted in a blended U.S. statutory federal rate of approximately 28% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. The U.S. statutory federal rate will be 21% for subsequent fiscal years. As part of of the Tax Act, U.S. companies are required to pay a one-time transition tax on the deemed repatriation of undistributed foreign earnings and to remeasure deferred tax assets and liabilities.

In response to the Tax Act, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) that provides guidance on accounting for the impact of the Tax Act. SAB 118 allows companies to record provisional amounts to the extent reasonably estimable and adjust them over time as more information becomes available, not to extend beyond the measurement period of one year from the enactment of the Tax Act. Accordingly, the Company has recorded provisional amounts for the one-time transition tax on the deemed repatriation of undistributed foreign earnings and the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities. The final impact from the enactment of the Tax Act may differ from the estimates provided for a number of reasons including, but not limited to, the issuance of final regulations, interpretation of the law and refinement of the Company's ongoing analysis of the new tax positions. Any changes in the provisional amount recognized will be reflected in the income tax expense (benefit) consists of:in the period they are identified.
The Tax Act includes a mandatory deemed repatriation of all undistributed foreign earnings that are subject to a U.S. income tax as part of the transition. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized provisional income tax expense of $9.6 million for a one-time transition tax liability on total post-1986 foreign subsidiaries’ earnings and profits (“E&P”) that were previously deferred from U.S. income taxes. No additional income tax expense has been provided for any remaining undistributed foreign earnings not subject to the transition tax and any additional outside basis difference inherent for these entities as such amounts continue to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations.

As part of accounting for the Tax Act, the Company remeasured certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which such deferred taxes are expected to reverse in the future, which is generally 21% . For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 the Company recognized provisional income tax benefit of $1.6 million for the remeasurement of the Company’s deferred tax asset and liability balances.

Earningssubsidiary, but earnings from all other geographies will continue to be considered retained indefinitely for reinvestment. The Company has not provided U.S. income taxes for undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that are considered to be retained indefinitely for reinvestment. The distribution of these earnings would result in additional foreign withholding taxes and additional U.S. federal income taxes to the extent they are not offset by foreign tax credits. It has been the practice of the Company to reinvest those earnings in the business outside the United States. These undistributedApart from the one-time transition tax, any incremental deferred income taxes on the unremitted foreign earnings amounted to approximately $108 million at June 30, 2016. If these earnings were remitted to the U.S., they would be subject to income tax. The tax, after foreign tax credits, is estimatedare not expected to be approximately $19.2 million.

However, the Belgium business reported taxable income in the two prior years and positive cumulative earnings over the most recent three-year period. In the judgment of management, the conditions that gave rise to the fiscal 2016 losses are temporary and that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized.material.

To the extent the Belgium business does not return to profitability as expected, this could affect the valuation of certain deferred tax assets. However, the Belgium business reported cumulative taxable income for two of the four prior years. In the judgment of management, the conditions that gave rise to the fiscal current year and prior year pre-tax losses are temporary and that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized. A corporate tax reform law was enacted in Belgium on December 25, 2017, which reduces the corporate tax rate from 33% to 25% over a three-year period. The company remeasured certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which such deferred taxes are expected to reverse in the future. As a result, the Company recognized income tax expense of $1.0 million during the year ended June 30, 2018.

(16)Subsequent Events

On August 8, 201620, 2018, the Company announcedacquired Canpango, a definitive agreementglobal Salesforce implementation and consulting partner with deep knowledge of CRM and integration with telecom systems. Canpango’s professional services are complementary to acquire Intelisys Communications, Inc.,our cloud services offerings. Canpango joins the industry-leading technology services distributor of business telecommunications and cloud services. Under the agreement, the all-cash transaction includes an initial purchase price of approximately $83.6 million ($8.46 million of which will be held in escrow to support the post-closing obligations of the sellers), plus annual earn-out payments based on a multiple of earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) over the next four years. The total earnout-payments are estimated to be in the range of $100 million to $150 million, depending on the performance of the business. Intelisys will join theCompany's Worldwide Communications and& Services operating segment. The acquisition received regulatory approval on August 25, 2016 and closed on August 29, 2016. Due to the timing of the acquisition relative to the annual filing, the Company is not able to present initial accounting estimates for the business combination, including purchase price allocation, valuation of tangible and intangible assets (including goodwill), valuation of the contingent consideration, and pro-forma results of operations.

On July 6, 2016, the Company entered into an amended lease agreement for our warehouse located in Southaven, Mississippi, which extended the square footage leased by approximately 148,000 scheduled to be delivered on October 1, 2017, for a total leased space of approximately 741,000 square feet, and further extended the term of the lease to 135 months with 2 consecutive 5-year extension options.

On August 29, 2016 , the Company announced a new $120 million three-year authorization by its Board of Directors to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Repurchases may be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, and the Company may enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases.

ITEM 9.Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

Not applicable. 

ITEM 9A.Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of those disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is 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. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures will meet their objectives.
Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of June 30, 20162018, were effective in providing reasonable assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met.
(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
We assessed the effectiveness of the Company’sour internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 20162018. However, the KBZPOS Portal business acquired during the current fiscal year has been excluded from management's assessment of internal controls over financial reporting. KBZ's pro forma results are not material toThe operations of POS Portal, which we acquired all of the Company'soutstanding shares of on July 31, 2017, represent 2% of our consolidated financial statements .revenues and total assets for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on its assessment using those criteria, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 20162018.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 20162018 has been audited by Grant Thornton LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their Report of Independent Registered Certified Public Accounting Firm on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting which is included with the Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal year ended June 30, 20162018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
