Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 20202021

(Unaudited)

(Amounts in tables in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

1.           Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Wayside Technology Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, as permitted by the rules and regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete audited financial statements.

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to product returns, bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, income taxes, stock-based compensation, evaluation of performance obligations and allocation of revenue to distinct items, contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on its historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for fair presentation of the results for the periods presented, have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The unaudited condensed consolidated statements of earnings for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Wayside Technology Group, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

2.           Recently Issued Accounting Standards:

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)” ("ASU 2016-13"). ASU 2016-13 revises the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are recorded. Originally, ASU 2016-13 was effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. In November 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-10, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842).”  This ASU defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for public companies that are considered smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is planning to adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of adopting the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13 on its Consolidated Financial Statements, particularly its recognition of allowances for accounts receivable.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in the accounting standards. The standard eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The standard also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have upon its financial position and results of operations, if any.

3.         Foreign Currency Translation:

Assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries have been translated using the end of the reporting period exchange rates, and related revenues and expenses have been translated at average rates of exchange in effect during the period. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recorded as income or expenses as amounts are settled. The net sales from our foreign operations for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $15.2 million and 2019 were $6.9 million, and $4.2 million,

respectively. The net sales from our foreign operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $32.0 million and 2019 were $11.6 million, and $9.4 million, respectively.

4.          Comprehensive Income:

Cumulative translation adjustments have been classified within accumulated other comprehensive loss,income (loss), which is a separate component of stockholders’ equity in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income.”

5.          Revenue Recognition:

The Company’s revenues primarily result from the sale of various technology products and services, including third-party products, third-party software and third-party maintenance, software support and services. The Company recognizes revenue as control of the third-party products and third-party software is transferred to customers, which generally happens at the point of shipment or fulfilment and at the point that our customers and vendors accept the terms and conditions of the arrangement for third-party maintenance, software support and services.

The core principle ofCompany has contracts with certain customers where the revenue recognition criteriaCompany’s performance obligation is to recognize revenue to depictarrange for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. This principle is achieved through applying the following five-step approach:

Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer — A contract with a customer exists when (i) we enter into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the goodsproducts or services to be provided by another party. In these arrangements, as the Company assumes an agency relationship in the transaction, revenue is recognized in the amount of the net fee associated with serving as an agent. These arrangements primarily relate to third party maintenance, cloud services and certain security software whose intended functionality is dependent on third party maintenance.

The Company allows its customers to return product for exchange or credit subject to certain limitations. A liability is recorded at the time of sale for estimated product returns based upon historical experience and an asset is recognized for the amount expected to be recorded in inventory upon product return. The Company also provides rebates and other discounts to certain customers which are considered variable consideration. A provision for customer rebates and other discounts is recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time of sale based on an evaluation of the contract terms and historical experience.

The Company considers shipping and handling activities as costs to fulfill the sales of products. Shipping revenue is included in net sales when control of the product is transferred to the customer, and identifies the related shipping and handling costs are included in cost of products sold. Taxes imposed by governmental authorities on the Company’s revenue producing activities with customers, such as sales taxes and value added taxes, are excluded from net sales.

The Company disaggregates its operating revenue by segment, geography and timing of revenue recognition, which the Company believes provides a meaningful depiction of the nature of its revenue. See segment Note 16.

Hardware and software products sold by the Company are generally delivered via shipment from the Company’s facilities, drop shipment directly from the vendor, or by electronic delivery of keys for software products. The majority of the Company’s business involves shipments directly from its vendors to its customers, in these transactions, the Company is generally responsible for negotiating price both with the vendor and customer, payment to the vendor, establishing payment terms relatedwith the customer, product returns, and has risk of loss if the customer does not make payment. As the principal with the customer, the Company recognizes revenue upon receiving notification from the vendor that the product was shipped. Control of software products is deemed to these goodshave passed to the customer when they acquire the right to use or services, (ii)copy the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) we determine that collection ofsoftware under license as substantially all consideration for goods or services that are transferredproduct functionality is probableavailable to the customer at the time of sale.

The Company performs an analysis of the number of days of sales in-transit to customers at the end of each reporting period based on an analysis of commercial delivery terms that include drop-shipment arrangements. This analysis is the customer’s intentbasis upon which the Company estimates the amount of net sales in-transit at the end of the period and abilityadjusts revenue and the related costs to payreflect only what has been delivered to the promised consideration. We apply judgmentcustomer. Changes in determiningdelivery patterns may result in a different number of business days estimated to make this adjustment. The Company also performs a weighted average analysis of the customer’s abilityestimated number of days between order fulfillment and intentionbeginning of the renewal term for term licenses recorded on a gross basis, and a deferral estimate is recorded for term license renewals fulfilled prior to pay,commencement date.

Generally, software products are sold with accompanying third-party delivered software assurance, which is baseda product that allows customers to upgrade, at no additional cost, to the latest technology if new capabilities are introduced during the period that the software assurance is in effect. The Company evaluates whether the software assurance is a separate performance obligation by assessing if the third-party delivered software assurance is critical or essential to the core functionality of the software itself. This involves considering if the software provides its original intended functionality to the customer without the updates, if the customer would ascribe a higher value to the upgrades versus the up-front deliverable, if the customer would expect frequent intelligence updates to the software (such as updates that maintain the original functionality), and if the customer chooses to not delay or always install upgrades. If the Company determines that the accompanying third-party delivered software assurance is critical or essential to the core functionality of the software license,

Table of Contents

the software license and the accompanying third-party delivered software assurance are recognized as a single performance obligation. The value of the product is primarily the accompanying support delivered by a third party and therefore the Company is acting as an agent in these transactions and recognizes them on a variety of factors includingnet basis at the customer’s historical payment experience or, inpoint the case of a new customer, published credit and financial information pertainingassociated software license is delivered to the customer. The Company considers customer purchase orders, whichsells cloud computing solutions that utilize third-party vendors to enable customers to access data center functionality in some cases are governed by master agreements or general termsa cloud-based solution, including storage, computing and conditions of sale,networking and access to be contracts with customers. All revenue is generated from contracts with customers.

Identification of the performance obligationssoftware in the contract — Performance obligations promisedcloud that enhances office productivity, provides security or assists in a contract are identified based on the goods or services that will be transferredcollaboration. The Company recognizes revenue for cloud computing solutions for arrangements with one-time invoicing to the customer that are capableat the time of being distinct, wherebyinvoice on a net basis as the Company is acting as an agent in the transaction. For monthly subscription-based arrangements, the Company is acting as an agent in the transaction and recognizes revenue as it invoices the customer can benefit fromfor its monthly usage on a net basis. For software licenses where the goodsaccompanying third-party delivered software assurance is not critical or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from us, and are distinct inessential to the context ofcore functionality, the contract, whereby the transfer of the goods or servicessoftware assurance is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised goods or services, we apply judgment to determine whether promised goods or services are capable of being distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met the promised goods or services are accounted forrecognized as a singleseparate performance obligation.

Determination ofobligation, with the transaction price —The transaction priceassociated revenue recognized on a net basis at the point the related software license is determined based on the consideration to which we will be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or servicesdelivered to the customer, netcustomer.

The Company also sells some of sales taxes collected from customers,its products and services as part of bundled contract arrangements containing multiple deliverables, which are subsequently remitted to governmental entities.Net sales are recorded netmay include a combination of estimated discounts, rebates,products and returns. Vendor rebates are recorded when earned asservices. For each deliverable that represents a reduction to cost of sales or inventory, as applicable.

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract — If the contract contains a singledistinct performance obligation, the entire transaction pricetotal arrangement consideration is allocated tobased upon the singlestandalone selling prices (“SSP”) of each performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price, or SSP basis. We determine SSPis determined based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through established standard prices, we use judgement and estimate the standalone selling price considering available information such as market pricing and pricing related to similar products. Contracts with a significant financing component are discounted to their present value at contract inception and accreted up to the expected payment amounts. These contracts generally offer customers extended payment terms of up to three years.

Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligationThe Company recognizes revenue whenrecords freight billed to its performance obligations are complete, and control of the specified goods or services pass to the customer. The Company considers the following indicators in determining when control passes to the customer: (i) the Company has a right to payment for the product or service (ii) the customer has legal title to the product, (iii) the Company has transferred physical possession of the product (iv) the Customer has the significant risk and rewards of ownership of the product and (v) the customer has accepted the product. Substantially all our performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time, as our obligation is to deliver a product or fulfill an order for a third party to deliver ongoing services, maintenance or support.

Hardware, software and other products - Hardware product consists of sales of hardware manufactured by third parties. Hardware product is delivered from our warehouse or drop shipped directly from the vendor. Revenue from our hardware products is recognized on a gross basis, with the selling price to the customercustomers as net sales and the cost of the related productfreight costs as cost of sales upon transfer of controlwhen the underlying product revenue is recognized. For freight not billed to the customer, asits customers, the Company is acting as a principal inrecords the transaction. Control is generally deemed to have passed to the customer upon transfer of title and risk of ownership.

Software products consist of sales of perpetual and term software licenses for products developed by third party vendors, which are distinct from related maintenance and support. Software licenses are delivered via electronic license keys provided by the vendor to the end user. Revenue from the sale of software products is recognized on a gross basis, with the selling price to the customer as net sales, and the cost of the related productfreight costs as cost of sales, upon transfer of control to our customers as the Company is a principalsales. The Company’s typical shipping terms result in the transaction. Control is deemed to have passed toshipping being performed before the customer when they acquireobtains control of the rightproduct. The Company considers shipping to use or copy the software under license as substantially all product functionality is available to the customer at the time of sale. Other products include marketing revenues that are recorded onbe a gross basis as the Company is a principal in the arrangement.

Software maintenancefulfillment activity and support, commonly known as software assurance or post contract support, consists of software updates and technical support provided by the software vendor to the licensor over a period. In cases where the software maintenance is distinct from the related software license, software maintenance is accounted for asnot a separate performance obligation. In cases where the software maintenance is not distinct from the related software license, it is accounted for as a single performance obligation with the related license. We utilize judgement in determining whether the maintenance is distinct from the software itself. This involves considering if the software provides its original intended functionality without updates, or is dependent on frequent, or continuous updates to maintain its functionality. See Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract above for a discussion of the allocation of maintenance and support costs when they are distinct from the related software licenses and Software - security and highly interdependent with support below for a discussion of maintenance and support costs when they are not distinct from the related software license.

Software - security and highly interdependent with support - Software - security and highly interdependent with support consists of sales of security subscriptions and other licensed software products whose functionality is highly interdependent with, and therefore not distinct from, related software maintenance. Delivery of the software license and related support over time is considered a single performance obligation of the third-party vendor for these products. The Company is an agent in these transactions, with revenue being recorded on a net basis when its performance obligation of processing a valid order between the supplier and customer contracting for the services is complete.

Maintenance, support and other services revenue - Maintenance, support and other services revenue consists of third-party post-contract support that is not critical or essential to the core functionality of the related licensed software, and, to a lesser extent, from third-party professional services, software as a service, and cloud subscriptions. Revenue from maintenance, support and other service revenues is recognized on a net basis, upon fulfillment of an order to the customer, as the Company is an agent in the transaction, and its performance obligations are complete at the time a valid order between the parties is processed.

Costs to obtain and fulfill a contract - We paypays commissions and related payroll taxes to sales personnel when customers are invoiced. These costs are recorded as selling general and administrative expenses in the period earned as all our performance obligations are complete within a short window of processing the order.

6.           Acquisition:

Contract balances - Accounts receivable is recorded at the invoiced amount, netAcquisition of an allowance for doubtful accounts. A receivable is recognized in the period we deliver goods or provide services or when our right to consideration is unconditional. Payment terms on invoiced amounts are typically 30-75 days. The balance of accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is presented in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accounts receivable-long-term result from product sales with extended payment terms that are discounted to their present values at the Company’s estimates of prevailing market rates at the time of the sale. The Company has determined that these amounts do not represent variable consideration as the amount earned is fixed. In subsequent periods, the accounts receivable is increased to the amounts due and payable by the customers through the accretion of interest income on the unpaid accounts receivable due in future years. The amounts due under these long-term accounts receivable due within one year are reclassified to the current portion of accounts receivable and are shown net of reserves. As our revenues are generally recognized at a point in time in the same period as they are billed, we have no deferred revenue balances. Provisions for doubtful accounts including long-term accounts receivable and returns are estimated based on historical write offs, sales returns and credit memo analysis which are adjusted to actual on a periodic basis.

Refund liability – Interwork TechnologiesThe Company records a refund liability for expected product returns with a corresponding asset for an amount representing any expected recovery from vendors regarding the return.

Principal versus agent considerations – The Company determines whether it is acting as a principal or agent in a transaction by assessing whether it controls a good or service prior to it being transferred to a customer, with control being defined as having the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits from the asset. The Company considers the following indicators, among others, in making the determination: 1) the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the promised good or service, 2) the Company has inventory risk, before or after the specified good or service has been transferred to the customer, and 3) the Company has discretion in establishing price for the specified good or service. Generally, we conclude that we are a principal in transactions where software or hardware products containing their core functionality are delivered to the customer at the time of sale and are agents in transactions where we are arranging for the provision of future performance obligations by a third party. As we enter into distribution agreements with third-party service providers, we evaluate whether we are acting as a principal or agent for each product sold under the agreement based on the nature of the product or service, and our performance obligations. Products for which there are significant ongoing third-party performance obligations include software maintenance, which includes periodic software updates and support, security software that is highly interdependent with maintenance, software as a service, cloud and third-party professional services. Sales of hardware, software and other products where we are a principal are recorded on a gross basis with the selling price to the customer recorded as sales and the cost of the product or software recorded as cost of sales. Sales where we are acting as an agent are recognized on a net basis at the date our performance obligations are complete. Under net revenue recognition, the cost paid to the vendor or third-party service provider is recorded as a reduction to sales, resulting in revenue being equal to the gross profit on the transaction.

6.           Acquisition:

On April 30, 2020, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated April 20, 2020, CLIMB Channel Solutions (Canada) Inc. (“Buyer”), a newly-formed indirect subsidiary of the Company completed the purchase of Interwork Technologies Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Interwork US”) and Interwork Technologies Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada (“Interwork Canada”(collectively, “Interwork”).

12.          Earnings Per Share:

Our basic and diluted earnings per share are computed using the two-class method.method in accordance with ASC 260. The two-class method is an earnings allocation that determines net income per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to their participation rights in dividends and undistributed earnings or losses. Non-vested restricted stock awards that include non-forfeitable rights to dividends are considered participating securities. Per share amounts are computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during each period. Diluted and basic earnings per share are the same because the restricted shares are the only potentially dilutive security.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). The primary impact to the Company’s financial statements as a result of the CARES Act was the deferral of US corporate income tax payments from the second quarter of 2020 to the third quarter of 2020.

18.          Unsolicited Bid and Shareholder Demand:

On July 15, 2019, the Company received a letter from Shepherd Kaplan Krochuk, LLC (“SKK”) and North & Webster SSG, LLC (“N&W”) announcing an unsolicited bid to acquire the Company for $14.37 per share (the “July 15 Proposal”), which reflected an approximate 32.8% premium over the Company’s adjusted closing stock price on July 12, 2019, one trading day earlier. The July 15 Proposal was subject to a number of contingencies, including the need for SKK and N&W to secure financing to complete a transaction. On August 23, 2019, the Company received another unsolicited offer from SKK and N&W, proposing to acquire the Company for $16.38 per share (the “August 23 Proposal”), which reflected an approximate 18.1% premium over the Company’s closing stock price one day earlier, and requesting members of the Board and management to enter into voting and support agreements in connection with the execution of a definitive merger agreement. The August 23 Proposal, similar to the July 15 Proposal, was subject to a number of contingencies, including the need for SKK and N&W to secure financing to complete a transaction.

On November 27, 2019, SKK, N&W, and Messrs. Shepherd, Kaplan, Krochuk and Kidston (collectively, the “SKK 13D Group”) entered into a Joint Filing Agreement and filed a Schedule 13D with the SEC, disclosing an aggregate 5.8% ownership stake in the Company. Also on November 27, 2019, Mr. Nynens entered into an agreement with SKK and N&W (the “November 27 Agreement”), granting SKK an irrevocable proxy to vote his shares of Common Stock (i) in favor of any acquisition proposal by SKK, (ii) against any third-party acquisition, and (iii) as directed by SKK with respect to the election of directors nominated by persons other than the Company. The November 27 Agreement also provides that, upon the consummation of the acquisition by an SKK-controlled entity of up to 100% of the outstanding capital stock of the Company, Nynens be appointed as Executive Chairman of the Company at an annual base salary of $250,000 in addition to stock option grants or comparable equity awards representing three percent (3%) of the outstanding equity of the Company, and for a minimum term of three (3) years.

On February 11, 2020, after considering the proposals with its financial advisers, the Board responded to SKK and N&W that the expired proposal received on December 10, 2019 would not have been in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders because it undervalues the Company, and did not serve as a basis for further diligence or discussion.

On February 14, 2020, after conducting an investigation, and in response to the Shareholder Derivative Demand, the Company filed a lawsuit (the “Lawsuit”) against Mr. Nynens, SKK, and N&W in the Superior Court of New Jersey Monmouth County, asserting claims against Mr. Nynens for alleged breaches of the Nynens Separation Agreement, including for violating his covenant not to seek future employment with the Company, and claims for tortious interference against SKK and N&W for inducing Mr. Nynens to commit these breaches. In connection with its claims, the Company sought monetary damages, injunctive relief and a declaratory judgment.

19.          Risks and Uncertainties Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic:

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. While the Company offers a full suite of solutions and services that address customer priorities across the technology landscape, it is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business, liquidity or results of operations at this time. As a result, many of the estimates and assumptions used in preparation of these interim financial statements required increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve with respect to the pandemic, the Company’s estimates may materially change in future periods.

The “TechXtend” segment is a value-added reseller of software, hardware and services for corporations, government organizations and academic institutionsWe have subsidiaries in the USAUnited States, Canada, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Canada.Ireland, through which sales are made.

COVID-19

We are closely monitoring the impact of the 2019 novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, pandemic on all aspects of our business. COVID-19 has resulted and will continue to result in significant economic disruption, which could also impact our business.

In the first quarter of 2020, we took a number of precautionary measures designed to help minimize the risk of the spread of the virus to our employees, including temporarily closing our offices and requiring all employees to work remotely.

While we did not incur significant disruptions to our operations during the three months and six months ended June 30, 20202021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are unable to predict the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our business, liquidity or results of operations at this time.

This situation is changing rapidly, and additional impacts may arise that we are not aware of currently. ForWe will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further information regardingactions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that we determine are in the impactbest interests of COVID-19, see Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.our employees, customers and shareholders.

Factors Influencing Our Financial Results

We derive the majority of our net sales though the sale of third-party software licenses, maintenance and service agreements. In our Climb Channel SolutionsDistribution segment, sales are impacted by the number of product lines we distribute, and sales penetration of those products into the reseller channel.channel, product lifecycle competition, and demand characteristics of the products which we are authorized to distribute. In our TechXtendSolutions segment sales are generally driven by sales force effectiveness and success in providing superior customer service and cloud solutions support, competitive pricing, and flexible payment solutions to our customers. Our sales are also impacted by external factors such as levels of IT spending and customer demand for products we distribute.

We sell in a competitive environment where gross product margins on adjusted gross billings have historically declined due to competition and changes in product mix towards products where no delivery of a physical product is required. In addition, we grant discounts, allowances, and rebates to certain customers, which may vary from period to period, based on volume, payment terms and other criteria. To date, we have been able to implement cost efficiencies such as the use of drop shipments,

electronic ordering (“EDI”) and other capabilities to be able to operate our business profitably as gross margins have declined. We evaluate the profitability of our business based on return on equity and effective margin.

23


TableGross profit is calculated as net sales less cost of Contentssales. We record customer rebates and discounts as a component of net sales and record vendor rebates and discounts as a component of cost of sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses are comprised mainly of employee salaries, commissions and other employee related expenses, facility costs, costs to maintain our IT infrastructure, public company compliance costs and professional fees. We monitor our level of accounts payable, inventory turnover and accounts receivable turnover which are measures of how efficiently we utilize capital in our business.

The Company’s sales, gross profit and results of operations have fluctuated and are expected to continue to fluctuate on a quarterly basis as a result of a number of factors, including but not limited to: the condition of the software industry in general, shifts in demand for software products, pricing, level of extended payment terms sales transactions, industry shipments of new software products or upgrades, fluctuations in merchandise returns, adverse weather conditions that affect response, distribution or shipping, shifts in the timing of holidays and changes in the Company’s product offerings. The Company’s operating expenditures are based on sales forecasts. If sales do not meet expectations in any given quarter, operating results may be materially adversely affected.

Dividend Policy and Share Repurchase Program. Historically we have sought to return value to investors through the payment of quarterly dividends and share repurchases. Total dividends paid and shares repurchased were $0.7 million and $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021. Total dividends paid and shares repurchased were $0.7 million and $3.5 million, which includesincluded 261,631 shares of our outstanding common stock repurchased for $3.5 million in accordance with the Settlement Agreement, during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Total dividends paid and shares repurchased were $0.8 million and less than $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The payment of future dividends and share repurchases is at the discretion of our Board of Directors and dependent on results of operations, projected capital requirements and other factors the Board of Directors may find relevant.

Stock Volatility. The technology, sectordistribution and services sectors of the United States stock markets is subject to substantial volatility. Numerous conditions which impact the technology sectorthese sectors or the stock market in general or the Company in particular, whether or not such events relate to or reflect upon the Company’s operating performance, could adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”). Furthermore, the potential adverse effect of the current pandemic of COVID-19, fluctuations in the Company’s operating results, announcements regarding litigation, the loss of a significant vendor or customer, increased competition, reduced vendor incentives and trade credit, higher operating expenses, and other developments, could have a significant impact on the market price of our Common Stock.

Forward Looking Statements

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.

On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to product returns, bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, income taxes, stock-based compensation, contingencies and litigation.

The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The Company believes the following critical accounting policies used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements affect its more significant judgments and estimates.

Revenue

The Company makes estimatesutilizes judgment regarding performance obligations inherent in the products andfor services it sells including, whether ongoing maintenance obligations performed by third party vendors are distinct from the related software licenses, and allocation of sales prices among distinct performance obligations. These estimates require significant judgementjudgment to determine whether the software’s functionality is dependent on ongoing maintenance or if substantially all functionality is available in the original software download. We also use judgementjudgment in the allocation of sales proceeds among performance obligations, utilizing observable data such as stand-alone selling prices, or market pricing for similar products and services.

Allowance for Accounts Receivable

The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Management determines the estimate of the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable by considering a number of factors, including:including historical experience, aging of the accounts receivable, and specific information obtained by the Company on the financial condition and the current creditworthiness of its customers. If the

25


Table of Contents

financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. At the time of sale, we record an estimate for sales returns based on historical experience. If actual sales returns are greater than estimated by management, additional expense may be incurred.

Accounts Receivable – Long Term

In limited circumstances, the Company offers extended payment terms to customers for periods of 12 to 48 months. The related customer receivables are classified asCompany’s accounts receivable long-term andare discounted to their present value at prevailing market rates at the time of sale. In subsequent periods, the accounts receivable is increased to the amounts due and payable by the customers through the accretion of interest income on the unpaid accounts receivable due in future years. The amounts under these long-term accounts receivable due within one year are reclassified to the current portion of accounts receivable. At timesdoing so, the Company sells receivables to a financial institution on a non-recourse basis for cash, less a discount. The net proceeds from such sales are included in the operating section of the statement of cash flows as changes in accounts receivable.considers competitive market rates and other relevant factors.

Inventory Allowances

The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-offs may be required.

Acquisition AccountingBusiness Combinations

We allocate the purchase price of an acquiredThe Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which allocates the fair value of the purchase consideration to itsthe tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase priceconsideration over the fair valuevalues of netthese identifiable assets acquiredand liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Certain assumptionsWhen determining the fair values of assets acquired and judgementsliabilities assumed, management makes significant estimates and assumptions. The Company may utilize third-party valuation specialists to assist the Company in the allocation. Initial purchase price allocations are usedsubject to estimaterevision within the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition. Acquisition-related expenses and transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill

We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, and between annual tests if an event occurs, or circumstances change, that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities.  We engage outside appraisal firmsa reporting unit below its carrying amount.

In a qualitative assessment, we assess qualitative factors to assist indetermine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value determination of identifiablea reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, we determine that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the quantitative goodwill impairment test is unnecessary.

If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, we determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then we perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. We may also elect the unconditional option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the quantitative goodwill impairment test.

In the quantitative impairment test, we compare the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired. Conversely, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

24

Table of Contents

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with determinable lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective estimated useful lives, which is determined based on their expected period of benefit. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recorded for the excess of the asset's carrying amount over its fair value. In addition, each quarter, the Company evaluates whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining estimated useful life of each of these intangible assets. We may adjustIf the preliminary purchase price allocation, afterCompany were to determine that a change to the acquisition closing date and throughremaining estimated useful life of an intangible asset was necessary, then the endremaining carrying amount of the measurement period of one year or less, as we finalize the valuation of acquired assets and liabilities.  Changes in estimates used in the preliminary purchase price allocation could have a material effect on the final valuation and result in changes to goodwill and intangible assets.  Additionally, if forecasts supporting the valuation of intangible assets or goodwill are not achieved, then an impairment charge couldasset would be recorded.amortized prospectively over that revised remaining useful life.

See further information on acquisition accounting in Notes 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report.      

Income Taxes

The Company considers future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. In the event the Company were to determine that it would not be able to realize all or part of its net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to income in the period such determination was made.

Share-Based Payments

Under the fair value recognition provision, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. We record the impact of forfeitures when they occur. We review our valuation assumptions periodically and, as a result, we may change our valuation assumptions used to value stock-based awards granted in future periods. Such changes may lead to a significant change in the expense we recognize in connection with share-based payments.

Foreign Exchange

The Company’s foreign currency exposure relates primarily to international transactions where the currency collected from customers can be different from the currency used to purchase the product. In cases where the Company is not able to create a natural hedge by maintaining offsetting asset and liability amounts in the same currency, it may enter into foreign exchange contracts, typically in the form of forward purchase agreements, to facilitate the hedging of foreign currency exposures to mitigate the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These contracts generally have terms of no more than two months. The Company does not apply hedge accounting to these contracts and therefore the changes in fair value are recorded in earnings. The Company does not enter into foreign exchange contracts for trading purposes and the risk of loss on a foreign exchange contract is the risk of nonperformance by the counterparties, which the Company minimizes by limiting its counterparties to major financial institutions. The fair value of forward purchase contracts at June 30, 2021 was not material to the consolidated financial statements.

Interest, Net

Interest, net consists primarily of income from the amortization of the discount on accounts receivable long term, net of interest expense on the Company’s credit facility.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)” ("ASU 2016-13"). ASU 2016-13 revises the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are recorded. Originally, ASU 2016-13 was effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. In November 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-10, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842).”  This ASU defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for public companies that are considered smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is planning to adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The Company is

25

Table of Contents

currently evaluating the potential effects of adopting the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13 on its Consolidated Financial Statements, particularly its recognition of allowances for accounts receivable.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in the accounting standards. The standard eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The standard also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have upon its financial position and results of operations, if any.

On August 23, 2019, the Company received another unsolicited offer from SKK and N&W, proposing to acquire the Company for $16.38 per share (the “August 23 Proposal”), which reflected an approximate 18.1% premium over the Company’s closing stock price one day earlier, and requesting members of the Board and management to enter into voting and support agreements in connection with the execution of a definitive merger agreement. The August 23 Proposal, similar to the July 15 Proposal, was subject to a number of contingencies, including the need for SKK and N&W to secure financing to complete a transaction.

On February 11, 2020, after considering the proposals with its financial advisers, the Board responded to SKK and N&W that the expired proposal received on December 10, 2019 would not have been in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders because it undervalues the Company, and did not serve as a basis for further diligence or discussion.

On February 14, 2020, after conducting an investigation, and in response to the Shareholder Derivative Demand, the Company filed a lawsuit (the “Lawsuit”) against Mr. Nynens, SKK, and N&W in the Superior Court of New Jersey Monmouth County, asserting claims against Mr. Nynens for alleged breaches of the Nynens Separation Agreement, including for violating his covenant not to seek future employment with the Company, and claims for tortious interference against SKK and N&W for inducing Mr. Nynens to commit these breaches.

We anticipate that our working capital needs will increase as we invest in the growth of our business. We believe that the funds held in cash and cash equivalents and our unused borrowings under our Uncommitted Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our working capital and cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Smaller reporting companies are not required to provide the information required by this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures”, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report.  This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of various members of our management, including our Company’s Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial and accounting officer). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of the end of the period covered by this report, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As described above, on April 30,November 6, 2020 we completed the acquisition of Interwork.CDF. SEC guidance permits management to omit an assessment of an acquired business’ internal control over financial reporting from management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting for a period not to exceed one year from date of acquisition. We are in the process of integrating Interwork’sCDF’s operations within our internal control structure. In executing this integration, we are analyzing, evaluating, and where necessary, making changes in controls and procedures related to the InterworkCDF business. Accordingly, management has excluded controls relating to InterworkCDF in this quarter’s evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Except for the acquisition of InterworkCDF described above, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Exchange Act, that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2020,2021, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. – Legal Proceedings

By letter dated January 22, 2020, a shareholder of the Company demanded that the Board of Directors investigate and bring an action against the Company’s former Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Simon Nynens, for his breaches of certain restrictive covenants contained in the separation agreement he entered into with the Company on or about May 11, 2018. Following receipt of the shareholder demand, the Company filed a lawsuit against Mr. Nynens, Shepherd Kaplan Krochuk, LLC (“SKK”), and North & Webster SSG, LLC (“N&W,” and together with SKK, the “N&W Group”) on February 14, 2020, in the Superior Court of New Jersey Monmouth County. The Company’s complaint asserts claims against Mr. Nynens for his breaches of his separation agreement with the Company and claims for tortious interference against the N&W Group for inducing Mr. Nynens to commit those breaches.  In connection with its claims, the Company was seeking monetary damages, injunctive relief, and a declaratory judgment against Mr. Nynens and the N&W Group.  

Previously, the Company had received unsolicited acquisition proposals from the N&W Group to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. The Company received the most recent unsolicited acquisition proposal from the N&W Group on December 10, 2019, and that proposal expired on its own terms on December 16, 2019. Prior to that, Mr. Nynens entered into an agreement with the N&W Group on November 27, 2019, granting SKK an irrevocable proxy to vote his shares of our common stock in favor of any acquisition proposal by SKK, against any third-party acquisition,

and as directed by SKK with respect to the election of directors nominated by persons other than the Company. On December 20, 2019, Mr. Nynens nominated four individuals for election to our Board of Directors at the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders.

On April 16, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Mr. Nynens and the N&W Group. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company has agreed to voluntarily dismiss its complaint with prejudice against Nynens, SKK, and N&W filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey Monmouth County on or about February 14, 2020. The Company has also agreed to purchase all of Nynens’ 261,631 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) owned, of record or beneficially, as of the Effective Date, at a price set by calculating the volume-weighted average price of such shares trading on the NASDAQ Global Market for the ten trading days ending on the close of the trading day immediately preceding the Effective Date, and with each party paying for its own fees and expenses. As of the Effective Date, Nynens and the SKK Parties have agreed to terminate that certain agreement among Nynens, SKK and N&W, dated November 27, 2019, pursuant to which the parties thereto agreed to form an investment vehicle in order to acquire up to 100% of the outstanding capital stock of the Company. Further, the SKK Parties have agreed to terminate the Joint Filing Agreement, dated November 27, 2019, by and between Nynens and the SKK Parties. Additionally, as of the Effective Date, Nynens agreed to withdraw the notice of intent to nominate director candidates for election at the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company, submitted by Nynens on December 20, 2019, and to cease all solicitation of proxies and other activities in connection with such annual meeting.  

On April 23, 2020, the Company completed the purchase of 261,631 shares of common stock at $13.19 per share pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, representing approximately 5.8% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, for a purchase price of $3.5 million.

Item 1A. – Risk Factors

Except as set forth below, during the quarter ended June 30, 2020, there were no material changes to the Risk Factors disclosed in Item 1A - “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The current COVID-19 pandemic and other public health threats or outbreaks of communicable diseases could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.

The Company may face risks related to public health threats or outbreaks of communicable diseases. A widespread healthcare crisis, such as an outbreak of a communicable disease could adversely affect the global economy and the Company’s and its business partners’ ability to conduct business for an indefinite period of time. For example, the ongoing global novel coronavirus, COVID-19, pandemic, has negatively impacted global economy, disrupted financial markets and international trade, resulted in increased unemployment levels and significantly impacted global supply chains. In addition, federal, state, and local governments have implemented various mitigation measures, including travel restrictions, border closings, restrictions on public gatherings, shelter-in-place restrictions and limitations on business. Some of these actions have adversely impacted the ability of the Company’s customers, vendors and other business partners to conduct business activities, and could ultimately do so for an indefinite period of time. This could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity. In particular, the continued spread of COVID-19 and efforts to contain the virus could:

impact customer demand of the Company’s portfolio of technology offerings;

cause the Company to experience an increase in delayed payments from customers and uncollectable accounts;

cause delays and disruptions in the supply chain resulting in disruptions in the fulfillment of orders;

impact availability of qualified personnel, including workforce disruptions due to illness, quarantines, governmental actions, other restrictions, and/or the social distancing measures taken to mitigate the impact of COVID-19; and

cause other unpredictable events.

Table of Contents

The situation surrounding COVID-19 remains fluid and the potential for a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity increases the longer the virus impacts activity levels in the United States and globally. For this reason, the Company cannot reasonably estimate with any degree of certainty the future impact COVID-19 may have on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and liquidity. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact the Company’s business, operating results, financial condition, or liquidity will depend on future developments, including the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions, business and workforce disruptions, and the effectiveness of actions taken to contain and treat the disease.
