(the "Company") is a Delaware corporation organized in February 1992 to consolidate and reorganize predecessor companies. All of the predecessor companies were controlled by David B. Pomeroy, the Company's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. During 2001, the Company's business was comprised of (1) the sale of a broad range of desktop computer equipment including hardware, software, and related products, (2) the provision of information technology (IT) services which support such computer products, and (3) the provision of in-house leasing solutions for the Company's products and services customers. See Note 19 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the sale of substantially all of the assets of TIFS, the Company's leasing subsidiary. Prior to January 6, 1999, the Company (including its wholly-owned subsidiaries Global Combined Technologies, Inc., Pomeroy Computer Resources of South Carolina, Inc. ("PCR-SC") and Technology Integration Financial Services, Inc. ("TIFS") operated the IT products and services business as a single integrated business. In December, 1998, the Company formed a new subsidiary, Pomeroy Select Integration Solutions, Inc. ("Pomeroy Select"), for the purpose of operating independently the IT services business previously operated by the Company other than procurement and configuration services which are directly related to the sale of products. On January 6, 1999, the Company transferred the assets, liabilities, business, operations and personnel comprising its IT services business (excluding procurement and configuration services) in exchange for 10 million shares of Class B common stock of Pomeroy Select. The separation of the IT services business is a part of the Company's ongoing strategy to expand its services revenue. In October 1999, the legal structure of the Company was changed for the purpose of increasing efficiencies. The Company formed the following wholly owned subsidiaries: Pomeroy Computer Resources Holding Company, Inc. ("PCR Holding") and Pomeroy Computer Resources Sales Company, Inc. ("PCR Sales"). In addition, the Company formed Pomeroy Select Advisory Services, Inc. ("PSAS"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pomeroy Select, Acme Data Services, LLC ("Acme Data"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PCR Sales, T.I.F.S. Advisory Services, Inc. ("TIFS Advisory"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of TIFS, and Pomeroy Computer Resources LLP ("PCR Ops"), a partnership between the Company and PCR Holding. PCR-SC and Global Combined Technologies, Inc. were merged into PCR Sales. In fiscal 2000, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Pomeroy Select acquired all the outstanding stock of TheLinc Corporation ("TheLinc"), a network design, consulting and systems engineering provider located in Birmingham, Alabama and Val Tech Computer Systems, Inc. ("Val Tech"), a leasing company also located in Birmingham, Alabama. In fiscal 2001, Acme Data Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company was merged into PCR Sales. In fiscal 2001, TheLinc Corporation ("TheLinc"), Nevada corporation, was merged into TheLinc Corporation, a Delaware corporation, which resulted in the dissolution of the Nevada corporation. Thereafter, the Delaware corporation was merged into TheLinc LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and effectively dissolved. Pomeroy Computer Resources Sales Company is the sole member of TheLinc LLC. Incident to the above referenced mergers, the services assets of TheLinc were distributed to Pomeroy Select while the operating assets of TheLinc remain with TheLinc LLC. 1 Prior to the sale of TIFS, the Company operated in three industry segments: products, services and leasing. See Note 18 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a presentation of segment financial information. The products segment is primarily engaged in the sale and distribution of computers, hardware, software and related products. The Company offers products from an array of manufacturers including Cisco, Computer Associates, Sun, Oracle, EMC, Compaq, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Microsoft, Nortel Networks, Novell, Palm Computing, Veritas, Symantec, Lexmark and Panasonic. As a service solution provider, the Company offers three categories of service: enterprise consulting services, complete infrastructure solutions and lifecycle service offerings that are required to develop, deploy and support IT strategies. Enterprise consulting services includes E-business application development with infrastructure platform consulting, design and implementation. It includes platforms such as Oracle, Sieble, Citrix, Crossworlds and IBM's Websphere. Complete infrastructure solutions portfolio includes internet infrastructure solutions, enterprise management services, network infrastructure services and network integration solutions. Internet infrastructure solutions include services to assist customers in implementing network and server infrastructure components. Enterprise management services monitor the network buildup and broadband implementation services. Network infrastructure services include LAN/WAN/SAN/NAS implementation services. These services assist the customer in installing and implementing an internal network infrastructure that includes cabling, network equipment consulting, implementation and support; internet protocol telephony services for maximizing voice/data circuits, wireless LAN design and implementation and storage services that provide consulting, design, installation and support on storage area networks and network attached storage implementations. Network integration solutions provide services to assist customers in implementing thin client/server based computing, groupware design/implementation and system/application enablement. Lifecycle service offerings consist of desktop management services that involves assisting customers in project roll-outs, installation of personal computer systems, peripherals and accessories; warranty and non-warranty repair and maintenance, redeployment and end-of-life services. The Company has achieved Gold Authorization from Cisco. The Company has also been awarded 2 specialization's from Cisco; Voice Access and IP Telephony, which gives customers access/support to specialized knowledge and expertise for consulting, design and implementation converged voice and data telephony circuits and wireless LAN implementations. The leasing segment primarily provides in-house leasing services to the Company's products and services customers. The Company leases many types of equipment with the predominant focus on notebook and desktop personal computers, communication products and high-powered servers. The Company provides products and services primarily to large and medium sized corporate, health care, governmental, financial and educational customers. On February 28, 2002, the Company announced the signing of a definitive purchase agreement to sell substantially all of the net assets of its wholly owned subsidiary-TIFS to ILC, the leasing division of The Provident Bank of Cincinnati, Ohio. ILC is paying book value for net assets and liabilities approximating $3 million to $4 million. ILC is also immediately liquidating acquired debt, related to leased assets, owed by TIFS to the Company in the approximate amount of $20.4 million. The closing is expected to occur by April 16, 2002. As part of the transaction, the Company has agreed to an exclusive seven-year vendor agreement, whereby the Company will be commissioned on lease transactions referred to and accepted by ILC. The Company's strategy for building shareholder value is to provide comprehensive solutions to improve the productivity of its clients' information technology systems. Key elements of the Company's strategy are: (1) to generate higher margin revenues by leveraging existing client relationships, (2) to expand service offerings particularly in the higher end services and networking areas, (3) to expand offerings and grow the customer base through strategic acquisitions, and (4) to maintain and enhance technical expertise by hiring and training highly qualified technicians and systems engineers. The Company is an authorized dealer or reseller for the products of over 32 major vendors, which were included in the Pomeroy Preferred Partner Program. The Company believes that its access to such vendors enables it to offer a wide range of products to meet the diverse requirements of its customers. However, the increasing demand for microcomputers has resulted in significant product supply shortages from time to time because manufacturers have been unable to produce sufficient quantities of certain products to meet demand. As in the past, the Company expects to experience some difficulty in obtaining an adequate supply of products from its major vendors. Historically, this has resulted, and may continue to result, in delays in completing sales. These delays have not had, and are not anticipated to have, a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. However, the failure to obtain adequate product supply could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations and financial results. 2 The Company's sales are generated primarily by its 242 person direct sales and sales support personnel located in 30 regional offices in 15 states throughout the Southeast and Midwest United States. The Company's business strategy is to provide its customers with a comprehensive portfolio of personal computers, enterprise consulting services, complete infrastructure solutions and lifecycle service offerings. In addition, the Company offers standard leasing services and custom tailored leasing solutions for our customers. Leases generally range from twelve to forty-eight months. Coupled with the products and services segments, the Company has the ability to provide turnkey information technology solutions with all components and necessary services all included in a periodic payment. The Company believes that its ability to combine competitive pricing of computer hardware, software and related products with sophisticated higher margin services allows it to compete effectively against a variety of alternative microcomputer distribution channels, including independent dealers, superstores, mail order and direct sales by manufacturers. With many businesses seeking assistance to optimize their information technology investments and control ongoing costs throughout the life cycle of technology systems, the Company is using its resources to assist customers in their decision-making, project implementation and equipment and information management. Most microcomputer products are sold pursuant to purchase orders. For larger procurements, the Company may enter into written contracts with customers. These contracts typically establish prices for certain equipment and services and require short delivery dates for equipment and services ordered by the customer. These contracts do not require the customer to purchase microcomputer products or services exclusively from the Company and may be terminated without cause upon 30 to 90 days notice. Most contracts are for a term of 12 to 24 months and, in order to be renewed, may require submission of a new bid in response to the customer's request for proposal. As of January 5, 2002, the Company has been awarded contracts it estimates will result in an aggregate of approximately $144.2 million of net sales and revenues after January 5, 2002, $96.0 million in net sales and revenues were generated in 2001 from these contracts. Of the aggregate total, the Company estimates that approximately $100.7 million of net sales and revenues will be generated in fiscal 2002. By comparison, as of January 5, 2001, the Company had been awarded contracts that it estimated would result in an aggregate of approximately $185.1 million of net sales and revenues after January 5, 2001. Of this amount, the Company estimated that $121.3 million of net sales and revenues would be generated during fiscal 2001. The estimates of management could be materially less than stated as a result of factors which would cause one or more of these customers to order less product or services than is anticipated. Such factors include the customer finding another supplier for the desired products at a lower price or on better terms, a change in internal business needs of the customer causing the customer to require less or different products and services, or the occurrence of a significant change in technology or other industry conditions which alters the customer's needs or timing of purchases. The Company has also established relationships with industry leaders relating to its services segment including the authorization to perform warranty and non-warranty repair work for several vendors. In some cases, the authorization of Pomeroy Select to continue performing warranty work for a particular manufacturer's products is dependent upon the performance of the Company under a dealer agreement with that manufacturer. The Company's technical personnel currently have an aggregate of more than 300 Microsoft certifications, more than 300 Novell certifications, 30 Bay/Nortel Networks Specialist certifications, 19 IBM Professional Service Expert certifications, 48 Compaq Accredited Systems Engineer certifications, 20 Hewlett-Packard Network Technical Professional certifications, 15 Citrix Certified Administrator certifications, 1 Citrix Certified Enterprise Administrator certification, 81 Cisco Certified Network Associates certifications, 31 Cisco Certified Network Professional certifications, 7 Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert certifications, 12 Cisco Certified Design Associates certifications, 9 Cisco Certified Design Professionals certifications, 7 Computer Associates Certified Unicenter Engineer certifications and one of each of the following advanced certifications: Protean Router, Network General Sniffer, Fore Systems and Oracle Advanced SQL. The Company provides its services to its customers on a time-and-materials basis and pursuant to written contracts or purchase orders. Either party with limited or no advance notice generally can terminate the Company's arrangements with its customers. The Company also provides some of its services under fixed-price contracts rather than contracts billed on a time-and-materials basis. Fixed-price contracts are used when the Company believes it can clearly define the scope of services to be provided and the cost of providing those services. 3 The Company has initiated a program known as the Pomeroy Preferred Partner Program to better serve its customers. Through the program, the Company has the ability to focus on the group of manufacturers, which it has deemed "best in class" through its research, customer feedback, and its experience in the industry. By focusing on these "preferred" manufacturers, the Company is building mutual business commitments that it believes will benefit the Company's customers. Such benefits include access to favorable pricing and key decision-makers, better terms and conditions and enhanced sales and technical training. The Company has entered into dealer agreements with substantially all of its major vendors/manufacturers. These agreements are typically subject to periodic renewal and to termination on short notice. Substantially all of the Company's dealer agreements may be terminated by the vendor without cause upon 30 to 90 days advance notice, or immediately upon the occurrence of certain events. A vendor could also terminate an authorized dealer agreement for reasons unrelated to the Company's performance. Although the Company has never lost a major vendor/manufacturer, the loss of such a vendor/product line or the deterioration of the Company's relationship with such a vendor/manufacturer would have a material adverse effect on the Company. For fiscal years 1999, 2000 and 2001, sales of computer hardware, software, and related products were approximately $648.9 million, $775.3 million, and $658.9 million respectively, and accounted for approximately 85.8%, 83.8%, and 81.4% respectively, of the consolidated net sales and revenues of the Company in such years. The Company's revenues from its service and support activities have grown, as a percentage of its consolidated net sales and revenues, over the last several years. For fiscal years 1999, 2000 and 2001, revenues from service and support activities were approximately $103.8 million, $139.4 million, and $140.4 million respectively, and accounted for approximately 13.7%, 15.1%, and 17.4%, respectively, of the consolidated net sales and revenues of the Company in such years. The Company's revenue from its leasing services has grown, as a percentage of its consolidated net sales and revenues, since its inception in 1997. For fiscal years 1999, 2000 and 2001, leasing revenues were approximately, $4.0 million, $10.4 million, and $9.9 million respectively, and accounted for approximately 0.5%, 1.1%, and 1.2%, respectively, of the consolidated net sales and revenues of the Company. COMPETITION The microcomputer products, services and leasing market is highly competitive. Distribution has evolved from manufacturers selling directly to customers, to manufacturers selling to aggregators (wholesalers), resellers and value-added resellers. Competition, in particular the pressure on pricing, has resulted in industry consolidation. In the future, the Company may face fewer but larger competitors as a consequence of such consolidation. These competitors may have access to greater financial resources than the Company. In response to continuing competitive pressures, including specific price pressure from the direct telemarketing, internet and mail order distribution channels, the microcomputer distribution channel is currently undergoing segmentation into value-added resellers who emphasize advanced systems together with service and support for business networks, as compared to computer "superstores," who offer retail purchasers a relatively low cost, low service alternative and direct-mail suppliers which offer low cost and limited service. Certain direct response and internet based fulfillment organizations have expanded their marketing efforts to target segments of the Company's customer base, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company's operations and financial results. While price is an important competitive factor in the Company's business, the Company believes that its sales are principally dependent upon its ability to provide comprehensive customer support services. The Company's principal competitive strengths include: (i) quality assurance; (ii) service and technical expertise, reputation and experience; (iii) competitive pricing of products through alternative distribution sources; (iv) prompt delivery of products to customers; (v) various financing alternatives; and (vi) its ability to provide prompt responsiveness to customers services needs and to build performance guarantees into services contracts. The Company competes for product sales directly with local and national distributors and resellers. In addition, the Company competes with microcomputer manufacturers that sell product through their own direct sales forces and to distributors. Although the Company believes its prices and delivery terms are competitive, certain competitors offer more aggressive hardware pricing to their customers. 4 The Company's services solutions segment competes, directly and indirectly, with a variety of national and regional service providers, including services organizations of established computer product manufacturers, value-added resellers, systems integrators, internal corporate management information systems and, to a lesser extent, consulting firms. The Company believes that the principal competitive factors for information technology services include technical expertise, the availability of skilled technical personnel, breadth of service offerings, reputation, financial stability and price. To be competitive, the Company must respond promptly and effectively to the challenges of technological change, evolving standards and its competitors' innovations by continuing to enhance its service offerings and expand sales channels. Any pricing pressures, reduced margins or loss of market share resulting from the Company's failure to compete effectively could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations and financial results. The Company believes its services solutions segment competes successfully by providing a comprehensive solution portfolio for its customers' information technology asset management and networking services needs. The Company delivers cost-effective, flexible, consistent, reliable and comprehensive solutions to meet customers' information technology infrastructure service requirements. The Company also believes that it distinguishes itself on the basis of its technical expertise, competitive pricing and its ability to understand its customers' needs. The Company's leasing segment competes directly and indirectly with various lenders. Manufacturing competitors generally have their own leasing companies, which include private label services provided by other organizations. In addition, a number of independent finance companies have sales forces to originate leases, as well as alignment with manufacturers and resellers to provide private label leasing solutions. The leasing segment also competes with bank leasing companies. The Company believes its leasing segment competes successfully by providing flexible financing alternatives and offering turnkey solutions. See Note 19 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the sale of substantially all of the assets of TIFS. CERTAIN BUSINESS FACTORS The following business factors, among others, are likely to affect the Company's operations and financial results and should be considered in evaluating the Company's outlook. Rapid Growth and Future Acquisitions Prior to fiscal 2001, the Company has grown rapidly both internally and through acquisitions. During fiscal 2001, the Company experienced a decline in the growth in both the products and leasing segments due to the downturn in the economy and the events of September 11, 2001. However, the Company experienced a slight increase in growth during fiscal 2001 in the service segment. The Company's business strategy is to continue to grow both internally and through acquisitions. There can be no assurance that, in the future, the Company will be successful in repeating the rapid growth experienced in prior years. The Company expects future growth will result from acquisitions in addition to organic growth. In fiscal 2001, the Company completed three acquisitions and continues to evaluate expansion and acquisition opportunities that would complement its ongoing operations. As part of the Company's growth strategy, it plans to continue to make investments in complementary companies, assets and technologies, although there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to identify, acquire or profitably manage additional companies or successfully integrate such additional companies into the Company without substantial costs, delays or other problems. In addition, there can be no assurance that companies acquired in the future will be profitable at the time of their acquisition or will achieve levels of profitability that justify the investment therein. Acquisitions may involve a number of special risks, including, but not limited to, adverse short-term effects on the Company's reported operating results, disrupting ongoing business and distracting management and employees, incurring debt to finance acquisitions or issuing equity securities which could be dilutive to existing stockholders, dependence on retaining, hiring and training key personnel, incurring unanticipated problems or legal liabilities and amortization of acquired intangible assets. Some or all of these special risks could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations and financial results. 5 Vendor Receivables Any change in the level of vendor rebates or manufacturer market development funds offered by manufacturers that results in the reduction or elimination of rebates or manufacturer market development funds currently received by the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations and financial results. In particular, a reduction or elimination of rebates related to government and educational customers could adversely affect the Company's ability to serve those customers profitably. In addition, there are specific risks, discussed below, related to the individual components of vendor receivables which include vendor rebates, manufacturer market development funds and warranty receivables. Vendor Rebates --------------- The most significant component of vendor receivables is vendor rebates. Vendor rebate programs are developed by original equipment manufacturers ("OEM") allowing them to modify product pricing on a case by case basis (generally determined by individual customers) to maintain their competitive edge on specific transactions. The Company contacts the OEM to request a rebate, for a specific transaction, and if approved, the OEM provides the Company with a document authorizing a rebate to be paid to the Company at a later date when a claim is filed. If the business is won, the Company records the sale and the cost of the sale is reduced by the amount of the anticipated rebate, which is recorded as a vendor receivable. Rebate programs involve a complex set of rules varying by manufacturer. As a result of the rules and complexity of applying the rules to each item sold, claims are often rejected and require multiple submissions before credit is given resulting in longer aging of vendor receivables than other types of receivables. Primary reasons for claims being disallowed and corresponding re-files include serial number issues (missing, incomplete, transposed, data base match-up discrepancies, etc.), pricing issues (dispute in calculation of rebate amounts) and other missing or incomplete documentation (bid letters, customer information, etc.) The Company has made substantial process and system enhancements geared towards minimizing refiling rebate claims, but there is no assurance that the company will be able to successfully claim all of the vendor rebates that were passed to along to the customers in a form of a reduction in sales price. Manufacturer Market Development Funds ---------------------------------------- Several manufacturers offer market development funds, cooperative advertising and other promotional programs to distribution channel partners. The Company utilizes these programs to fund some of its advertising and promotional programs. The funds received from manufacturers are offset directly against the expense, thereby reducing selling, general and administrative expenses and increasing net income. While such programs have been available to the Company in the past, there is no assurance that these programs will be continued. Warranty Receivable -------------------- The Company performs warranty service work on behalf of the OEM on customer product. Any labor cost or replacement parts needed to repair the product is reimbursable to the Company by the OEM. It is the Company's responsibility to file and collect these claims. Vendor Receivables Reserve ---------------------------- During fiscal year 2001, the Company recorded a $15 million reserve, specifically related to the collectibility of vendor receivables resulting in a $9.1 million reduction in net income. The determination of an appropriate reserve was based on the deterioration in the aging of the vendor receivables, the expected resolution of the disallowed claims (see primary reasons for vendor rebate claims being disallowed) and the general posture of the OEM's regarding resolution. Management Information System The Company relies upon the accuracy and proper utilization of its management information system to provide timely distribution services, manage its inventory and track its financial information. To manage its growth, the Company is continually evaluating the adequacy of its existing systems and procedures. The Company anticipates that it will regularly need to make capital expenditures to upgrade and modify its management information system, including software and hardware, as the Company grows and the needs of its business change. There can be no assurance that the Company will anticipate all of the demands, which its expanding operations will place on its management information system. The occurrence of a significant system failure or the Company's failure to expand or successfully implement its systems could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations and financial results. 6 Dependence on Technical Employees The future success of the Company's services business depends in large part upon the Company's ability to attract and retain highly skilled technical employees in competitive labor markets. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract and retain sufficient numbers of skilled technical employees. The loss of a significant number of the Company's existing technical personnel or difficulty in hiring or retaining technical personnel in the future could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations and financial results. Inventory Management Rapid product improvement and technological change resulting in relatively short product life cycles and rapid product obsolescence characterize the information technology industry. While most of the inventory stocked by the Company is for specific customer orders, inventory devaluation or obsolescence could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations and financial results. Current industry practice among manufacturers is to provide price protection intended to reduce the risk of inventory devaluation, although such policies are subject to change at any time and there can be no assurance that such price protection will be available to the Company in the future. In prior fiscal years, many manufacturers reduced the number of days for which they provided price protection. During fiscal 2001, most of the reductions have stabilized, however, current terms and conditions remain subject to change. In addition to the price protection mentioned above, subject to certain limitations, the Company currently has the option of returning inventory to certain manufacturers and distributors. The amount of inventory that can be returned to manufacturers without a restocking fee varies under the Company's agreements and such return policies may provide only limited protection against excess inventory. There can be no assurance that new product developments will not have a material adverse effect on the value of the Company's inventory or that the Company will successfully manage its existing and future inventory. In addition, the Company stocks parts inventory for its services business. Parts inventory is more likely to experience a decrease in valuation as a result of technological change and obsolescence. Price protection practices are not ordinarily offered by manufacturers with respect to service parts. Dependence on Vendor Relationships The Company may not be able to maintain, or attract new, relationships with the computer hardware and software vendors that they believe are necessary for their business. The Company's future success depends, in part, on the relationships with leading hardware and software vendors and on their status as an authorized service provider. The Company is currently authorized to service the products of many industry-leading hardware, software and internetworking product vendors. Without these relationships, the Company would be unable to provide current range of services, principally warranty services. Since the Company utilizes vendor relationships as a marketing tool, any negative change in these relationships could adversely affect the financial condition and results of operations while they seek to establish alternative relationships. In general, the authorization agreements with vendors include termination provisions, some of which are immediate. The Company cannot assure that vendors will continue to authorize them as an approved service provider. In addition, the Company cannot assure that companies which introduce new products will authorize them as an approved service provider for such new products. Government Contracts A portion of the Company's revenue is derived from contracts with state and local governments and government agencies. In the event of a dispute, the Company would have limited recourse against the government or government agency. Furthermore, future statutes and/or regulations may reduce the profitability of such contracts. In addition, certain government contracts have no contractual limitation of liability for damages resulting from the provision of services. Dependence on Major Customers During fiscal 2001, approximately 24.1% of the Company's total net sales and revenues were derived from its top 10 customers. No customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's total net sales and revenues. During fiscal 2001, Square D accounted for approximately 10.2% of the total net sales and revenues for the leasing segment. 7 Dependence on Key Personnel The success of the Company is dependent on the services of David B. Pomeroy, II, the CEO and Chairman of the Board, Stephen E. Pomeroy, President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company and Chief Executive Officer of Pomeroy Select, and other key personnel. The loss of the services of David B. Pomeroy, Stephen E. Pomeroy, or other key personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. The Company maintains $1.0 million in key man life insurance insuring the life of David B. Pomeroy. In addition, the company maintains $700 thousand in key man life insurance insuring the life of Stephen E. Pomeroy. The Company has entered into employment agreements with certain of its key personnel, including David B. Pomeroy and Stephen E. Pomeroy. The Company's success and plans for future growth will also depend on its ability to attract and retain highly skilled personnel in all areas of its business. Stock Price The market price of the Company's common stock may fluctuate because the Company's revenue, gross profit, operating income and net income may vary substantially from quarter to quarter. EMPLOYEES As of January 5, 2002, the Company had 1,765 full-time employees consisting of the following: 1,193 technical personnel; 242 direct sales representatives and sales support personnel; 45 management personnel; and 285 administrative and distribution personnel. The Company has no collective bargaining agreements and believes its relations with its employees are good. BACKLOG The Company does not have a significant backlog of business since it normally delivers and installs products purchased by its customers within 10 days from the date of order. Accordingly, backlog is not material to the Company's business or indicative of future sales. From time to time, the Company experiences difficulty in obtaining products from its major vendors as a result of general industry conditions. These delays have not had, and are not anticipated to have, a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS The Company owns no trademarks or patents. Although the Company's various dealer agreements do not generally allow the Company to use the trademarks and trade names of these various manufacturers, the agreements do permit the Company to refer to itself as an "authorized representative" or an "authorized service provider" of the products of those manufacturers and to use their trademarks and trade names for marketing purposes. The Company considers the use of these trademarks and trade names in its marketing efforts to be important to its business. ACQUISITIONS Acquisitions have contributed significantly to the Company's growth. The Company believes that acquisitions are one method of increasing its presence in existing markets, expanding into new geographic markets, adding experienced service personnel, gaining new product offerings and services, obtaining more competitive pricing as a result of increased purchasing volumes of particular products and improving operating efficiencies through economies of scale. In recent years, there has been consolidation among providers of microcomputer products and services and the Company believes that this consolidation will continue, which, in turn, may present additional opportunities for the Company to grow through acquisitions. The Company continually seeks to identify and evaluate potential acquisition candidates. During fiscal 2001, the Company completed three acquisitions. The total consideration given consisted of $8.0 million in cash and subordinated notes of $1.3 million. Interest on the subordinated notes is payable quarterly. Principal in the amount of $1.3 million of principal is payable in equal annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of closing. 8 ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The Company's principal executive offices, distribution facility and national training center comprised of approximately 36,000, 161,417 and 22,000 square feet of space, respectively, are located in Hebron, Kentucky. These facilities are leased from Pomeroy Investments, LLC ("Pomeroy Investments"), a Kentucky limited liability company controlled by David B. Pomeroy, II, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, under a ten year triple-net lease agreement, which expires in July 2010. The lease agreement provides for 2 five-year renewal options. The Company also has non-cancelable operating leases for its regional offices, expiring at various dates between 2002 and 2008. The Company believes there will be no difficulty in negotiating the renewal of its real property leases as they expire or in finding other satisfactory space. In the opinion of management, the properties are in good condition and repair and are adequate for the particular operations for which they are used. The Company does not own any real property. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Various legal actions arising in the normal course of business have been brought against the Company. Management believes these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. ITEM 4.

12 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion and analysis of our results of operation and financial position should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. In addition, the Certain Business Factor's described under "Business" should be considered in evaluating the Company's outlook. Use of Estimates in Financial Statements. In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accounting estimates in these financial statements include reserves for trade accounts receivable and vendor accounts receivable. Actual results could differ from those estimates. FISCAL YEAR 2001 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 2000 Total Net Sales and Revenues. Total net sales and revenues decreased $115.9 million, or 12.5%, to $809.2 million in fiscal 2001 from $925.1 million in fiscal 2000. This decrease was a result primarily of the continued industry-wide slowdown in technology spending and the weakened economy. Excluding acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2001, total net sales and revenues decreased 13.6%. Products and leasing sales decreased $117.0 million, or 14.9%, to $668.7 million in fiscal 2001 from $785.7 million in fiscal 2000. Excluding acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2001, products and leasing sales decreased 15.7%. Service revenues increased $1.1 million, or 0.8%, to $140.5 million in fiscal 2001 from $139.4 million in fiscal 2000. Excluding acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2001, service revenues decreased 1.5%. Gross Profit. Gross profit margin was 12.8% in fiscal 2001 compared to 13.3% in fiscal 2000. This decrease in gross margin resulted from lower margin service offerings and under-utilization of service personnel as a result of lower than expected service billable hours from its technical and systems engineer personnel. Service gross margin decreased to 39.3% of total gross margin in fiscal 2001 from 45.2% in fiscal 2000. As a result of the decline in personnel utilization, the Company reduced its technical and systems engineer's staff and continues to monitor their utilization. Factors that may have an impact on gross margin in the future include the further decline in personnel utilization rates, the mix of products sold and services provided, a further decline of unit prices, the percentage of equipment or service sales with lower-margin customers and the ratio of service revenues to total net sales and revenues. Operating Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses (including rent expense and provision for doubtful accounts) expressed as a percentage of total net sales and revenues increased to 7.6% in fiscal 2001 from 6.6% for fiscal 2000. This increase is primarily the result of lower than expected total net sales and revenues. Total operating expenses expressed as a percentage of total net sales and revenues increased to 11.0% in fiscal 2001 from 7.6% in fiscal 2000 primarily due to the increase in reserves, restructuring charge and the litigation settlement as discussed below and the lower than expected total net sales and revenue. Litigation Settlement. During fiscal 2001, the Company recorded a $1.0 million settlement of the litigation with FTA Enterprises, Inc., which expressed as a percentage of total net sales and revenues was 0.1%. 13 Increase in Reserves. During fiscal 2001, the Company recorded an increase in reserves of $15.0 million specifically related to the collectibility of vendor receivables, which expressed as a percentage of total net sales and revenues was approximately 1.9%. The determination of an appropriate reserve was based on the deterioration of the aging of the vendor receivables, the expected resolution of the vendor rebate disallowed claims and the general posture of the OEM's regarding resolution. The rules to claim vendor rebates and the complexity of applying the rules to each item sold often results in rejection of claims and multiple submissions before credit is given, which also results in longer aging of vendor receivables than other types of receivables. Approximately, $7.8 million of the total vendor receivables that the Company believes are collectible are over 360 days. Primary reasons for vendor rebate claims being disallowed and corresponding re-files include serial number issues (missing, incomplete, transposed, data base match-up discrepancies, etc.), pricing issues (dispute in calculation of rebate amounts) and other missing or incomplete documentation (bid letters, customer information, etc.). To enhance the Company's future rebate management, the Company has made substantial process and system enhancements. The Company anticipates that the collectibility of these manufacturers' accounts receivable will improve in the future. Restructuring Charge. During fiscal 2001, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $0.9 million, which expressed as a percentage of total net sales and revenues was approximately 0.1%, respectively. The restructuring charge is related to consolidation of locations and changes in manufacturers' programs. Income from Operations. Income from operations decreased $38.4 million, or 72.9%, to $14.3 million in fiscal 2001 from $52.7 million in fiscal 2000. The Company's operating margin decreased to 1.8% in fiscal 2001 from 5.7% in fiscal 2000. This decrease is due to the decrease in gross profit and an increase in operating expenses. Interest Expense. Total interest expense decreased $2.6 million, or 59.1%, to $1.8 million in fiscal 2001 from $4.4 million in fiscal 2000. This decrease was due to reduced borrowings as a result of improved cash flow management and a reduced interest rate charged by the Company's lenders. Income Taxes. The Company's effective tax rate was 39.0% in fiscal 2001 compared to 39.7% in fiscal 2000. The net decrease in the Company's effective tax rate results from the elimination of other income taxes and offset by the increase in state taxes in certain higher tax jurisdictions. Net Income. Net income decreased $21.7 million, or 73.5%, to $7.8 million in fiscal 2001 from $29.5 million in fiscal 2000. The decrease was a result of the factors described above. FISCAL YEAR 2000 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 1999 Total Net Sales and Revenues. Total net sales and revenues increased $168.3 million, or 22.2%, to $925.1 million in fiscal 2000 from $756.8 million in fiscal 1999. This increase was attributable to an increase in sales to existing and new customers and to acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2000. Excluding acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2000, total net sales and revenues increased 21.4%. Products and leasing sales increased $132.7 million, or 20.3%, to $785.7 million in fiscal 2000 from $653.0 million in fiscal 1999. Excluding acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2000, products and leasing sales increased 19.6%. Service revenues increased $35.6 million, or 34.3%, to $139.4 million in fiscal 2000 from $103.8 million in fiscal 1999. Excluding acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2000, service revenues increased 32.9%. Gross Profit. Gross profit margin was 13.3% in fiscal 2000 compared to 13.8% in fiscal 1999. The Company's decrease in its gross margin resulted primarily from the Company's decision to obtain new business and increase sales by aggressively pricing certain products and services. Services revenues increased to 15.1% of total net sales and revenues in fiscal 2000 compared to 13.7% of total net sales and revenues in fiscal 1999. Factors that may have an impact on gross margin in the future include the percentage of equipment sales with lower-margin customers and the ratio of service revenues to total net sales and revenues. Operating Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses (including rent expense and provision for doubtful accounts) expressed as a percentage of total net sales and revenues decreased to 6.6% in fiscal 2000 from 6.9% for fiscal 1999. This decrease is primarily due to the growth in net sales and revenues exceeding the growth in selling, general and administrative expenses. Total operating expenses expressed as a percentage of total net sales and revenues were 7.6% in fiscal 2000 and 7.8% in fiscal 1999. 14 Income from Operations. Income from operations increased $7.2 million, or 15.8%, to $52.7 million in fiscal 2000 from $45.5 million in fiscal 1999. The Company's operating margin decreased to 5.7% in fiscal 2000 from 6.0% in fiscal 1999 due to the decrease in gross profit. Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased $0.5 million, or 12.8%, to $4.4 million in fiscal 2000 from $3.9 million in fiscal 1999. This increase is primarily related to higher average borrowings during fiscal 2000 as a result of higher working capital requirements. Income Taxes. The Company's effective tax rate was 39.7% in fiscal 2000 compared to 40.4% in fiscal 1999. The decrease in the Company's effective tax rate results from a lower overall state income tax liability. Net Income. Net income increased $4.6 million, or 18.5%, to $29.5 million in fiscal 2000 from $24.9 million in fiscal 1999. The increase was a result of the factors described above. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash provided by operating activities was $66.5 million in fiscal 2001. Cash used in investing activities was $13.2 million, which included $8.0 million for acquisitions completed in fiscal 2001 and prior years and $5.2 million for capital expenditures. Cash used in financing activities was $51.5 million which included $6.8 million of net payments on notes payable, $46.0 million of net payments on bank notes payable, $0.5 million for the purchase of treasury stock, and was offset by $1.2 million from the exercise of stock options and the related tax benefit, and $0.6 million proceeds from the employee stock purchase plan. A significant part of the Company's inventories is financed by floor plan arrangements with third parties. At January 5, 2002, these lines of credit totaled $84.0 million, including $72.0 million with Deutsche Financial Services ("DFS") and $12.0 million with IBM Credit Corporation ("ICC"). Borrowings under the DFS floor plan arrangements are made on thirty-day notes. Borrowings under the ICC floor plan arrangements are made on either thirty-day or sixty-day notes. All such borrowings are secured by the related inventory. Financing on substantially all of the arrangements is interest free due to subsidies by manufacturers. Overall, the average rate on these arrangements is less than 1.0%. The Company classifies amounts outstanding under the floor plan arrangements as accounts payable. The Company's financing of receivables is provided through a portion of its credit facility with DFS. The $240.0 million credit facility has a three year term and includes $72.0 million for inventory financing, $144.0 million for working capital which is based upon accounts receivable financing, and a cash-flow component in the form of a $24.0 million term loan, which is not restricted to a borrowing base. Under the agreement, the credit facility provides a credit line of $144.0 million for accounts receivable financing. The accounts receivable and term loan portion of the credit facility carry a variable interest rate based on the London InterBank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") and a pricing grid. At January 5, 2002, the amount outstanding was $11.9 million, including $3.4 million of overdrafts on the Company's books in accounts at a participant bank on the credit facility, which was at an interest rate of 3.87%. The overdrafts were subsequently funded through the normal course of business. The credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company, except those assets that collateralize certain other financing arrangements. Under the terms of the credit facility, the Company is subject to various financial covenants and restricted from paying dividends. As of January 5, 2002, the Company was in violation of a financial covenant, which has been subsequently modified by the lender. Currently, the Company is not in violation of any financial covenants. The funding of the Company's net investment in sales-type leases is provided by various financial institutions on a nonrecourse basis. Increases in leasing operations could impact one or more of total net sales and revenues, gross margin, operating income, net income, total debt and liquidity, depending on the amount of leasing activity and the types of leasing transactions. Upon the anticipated closing of the sale of certain leasing assets of TIFS, the Company is expecting approximately $23.9 million of additional liquidity. See Note 19 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the sale of substantially all of the assets of TIFS. The Company believes that the anticipated cash flow from operations and current financing arrangements will be sufficient to satisfy the Company's capital requirements for the next twelve months. Historically, the Company has financed acquisitions using a combination of cash, earn outs, shares of its Common Stock and seller financing. The Company anticipates that future acquisitions will be financed in a similar manner. 15 ITEM 8.

See Note 19 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the sale of substantially all of the assets of TIFS. In fiscal 1998, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Pomeroy Select Integration Solutions, Inc. ("Pomeroy Select"), to which the Company transferred the assets, liabilities, business, operations and personnel comprising the Company's information technology ("IT") services business and segment on January 6, 1999. The Company sells, installs, services and leases microcomputers and microcomputer equipment primarily for commercial, health care, governmental, financial and educational customers. The Company also derives revenue as a service solution provider of enterprise consulting services, complete infrastructure solutions and lifecycle service offerings. The Company has 30 regional offices located in 15 states throughout the Southeast and Midwest United States. The Company grants credit to substantially all customers in these areas. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Fiscal Year - The Company's fiscal year is a 12- month period ending January 5. References to fiscal 1999, 2000 and 2001 are for the fiscal years ended January 5, 2000, January 5, 2001 and January 5, 2002, respectively. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets - Goodwill is amortized using the straight-line method over periods of fifteen to twenty-five years. Other intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over periods up to ten years. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for The Impairment of Long-Lived Assets", the Company evaluates its goodwill on an ongoing basis to determine potential impairment by comparing the carrying value to the undiscounted estimated expected future cash flows of the related assets. See Recent Accounting Pronouncements later in this Note for new pronouncements effecting goodwill, intangible assets, amortization and impairment issues. Equipment and Leasehold Improvements - Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation on equipment is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives. Depreciation on leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives or the term of the lease, whichever is less. Depreciation expense associated with TIFS's operating leases is classified under cost of sales. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred and additions and improvements that significantly extend the lives of assets are capitalized. Upon sale or retirement of depreciable property, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the related accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the results of operations. Income Taxes - Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Vendor Rebates - The most significant component of vendor receivables is vendor rebates. Vendor rebate programs are developed by original equipment manufacturers ("OEM') allowing them to modify product pricing on a case by case basis (generally determined by individual customers) to maintain their competitive edge on specific transactions. The Company will contact the OEM to request a rebate, for a specific transaction, and if approved, the OEM will provide the Company with a document authorizing a rebate to be paid to the Company at a later date when a claim is filed. At the time, the Company records product sales the cost of sales is reduced by the amount of the anticipated rebate. Rebate programs involve a complex set of rules F-7 varying by manufacturer. As a result of the rules and complexity of applying the rules to each item sold, claims are often rejected and require multiple submissions before credit is given. Primary reasons for claims being disallowed and corresponding re-files include serial number issues (missing, incomplete, transposed, data base match-up discrepancies, etc.), pricing issues (dispute in calculation of rebate amounts) and other missing or incomplete documentation (bid letters, customer information, etc.). Manufacturer Market Development Funds - Several OEM's offer market development funds, cooperative advertising and other promotional programs to distribution channel partners. The Company utilizes these programs to fund some of its advertising and promotional programs. The Company recognizes these anticipated funds as vendor receivables when it has completed its obligation to perform under the specific arrangement. The funds received from manufacturers are offset directly against the expense, thereby reducing selling, general and administrative expenses and increasing net income. Warranty Receivable - The Company performs warranty service work on behalf of the OEM on customer product. Any labor cost or replacement parts needed to repair the product is reimbursable to the Company by the OEM. It is the Company's responsibility to file and collect these claims. The Company records the vendor receivables when it has completed its obligation to perform under the specific arrangement. Any labor cost incurred is recognized as revenue when the service is provided. Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the average cost method. Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue on the sale of equipment and supplies or equipment sold under sales-type leases when the products are shipped. Service revenue is recognized when the applicable services are provided or for service contracts, ratably over the lives of the contracts. Leasing fee and financing revenue is recognized on a monthly basis as fees accrue and from financing at level rates of return over the term of the lease or receivable, which are primarily sales-type leases ranging from one to three years. Stock-Based Compensation - The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", in the fall of 1995. The statement encourages, but does not require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value beginning in fiscal 1996. The Company elected to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company's common stock at the date of grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123 for disclosure purposes and for non-employee stock options. Earnings per Common Share - The computation of basic earnings per common share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the effect of common shares contingently issuable, primarily from stock options. The following is a reconciliation of the number of shares used in the basic EPS and diluted EPS computations:
(in thousands, except per Fiscal Years share data) ------------------------------------------------------------- 1999 2000 2001 ------------------- ------------------- ------------------- Per Share Per Share Per Share Shares Amount Shares Amount Shares Amount ------ ----------- ------ ----------- ------ ----------- Basic EPS 11,728 $ 2.12 12,201 $ 2.42 12,609 $ 0.62 Effect of dilutive stock options 87 (0.01) 210 (0.04) 93 (0.01) Diluted EPS 11,815 $ 2.11 12,411 $ 2.38 12,702 $ 0.61 ====== =========== ====== =========== ====== ===========
Use of Estimates in Financial Statements - In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accounting estimates in these financial statements include reserves for trade accounts receivable and vendor accounts receivable. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications of prior years' amounts have been made to conform with the current presentation. F-8 Fair Value Disclosures - The fair value of financial instruments approximates carrying value. Comprehensive Income - The Company does not have any comprehensive income items other than net income. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - The Company does not currently have any derivative instruments or hedging activities to report under this standard. Recent Accounting Pronouncements- On July 20, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets. SFAS 141 is effective for all business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001; however, certain provisions of this Statement apply to goodwill and other intangible assets acquired between July 1, 2001 and the effective date of SFAS 142. Major provisions of these Statements and their effective dates for the Company are as follows: - All business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 must use the purchase method of accounting. The pooling of interest method of accounting is prohibited except for transactions initiated before July 1, 2001. - Intangible assets acquired in a business combination must be recorded separately from goodwill if they arise from contractual or other legal rights or are separable from the acquired entity and can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, either individually or as part of a related contract, asset or liability. - Goodwill, as well as intangible assets with indefinite lives, acquired after June 30, 2001, will not be amortized. Effective January 6, 2002, all previously recognized goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will no longer be subject to amortization. - Effective January 6, 2002, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will be tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an impairment indicator. - All acquired goodwill must be assigned to reporting units for purposes of impairment testing and segment reporting. In accordance with SFAS 142, the Company has not amortized goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite lives acquired after June 30, 2001. The Company will continue to amortize goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives recognized prior to July 1, 2001, under its current method until January 6, 2002, at which time amortization expense of approximately $4.4 million annually will no longer be recognized. By July 5, 2002, the Company will have completed a transitional fair value based impairment test of goodwill as of January 6, 2002. By April 5, 2002, the Company will have completed a transitional impairment test of all intangible assets with indefinite lives. Impairment losses, if any, resulting from the transitional testing will be recognized as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Management has not determined the impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations under the transitional testing for goodwill. Management has determined that there will not be a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations under the transitional testing for intangible assets with indefinite lives. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This Statement supercedes SFAS 121 and Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, for the disposal of a segment of a business (as previously defined in that Opinion). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. This Statement retains the requirements of SFAS 121 related to long-lived asset impairment loss recognition and measurement, but removes goodwill and certain intangibles from its scope as they are covered under SFAS 142. The Statement also requires that long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether previously held and used or newly acquired, be measured at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Therefore, discontinued operations are no longer measured on a net realizable basis and future operating losses are no longer recognized before they occur. This Statement also broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include more disposal transactions. The Company will follow the provisions of SFAS 144 for the sale transaction described in Note 19. 3. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE The following table summarizes the activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts for fiscal years 1999, 2000 and 2001: F-9

During fiscal 2001, the Company recorded an increase in reserves of $15.0 million specifically related to the collectibility of vendor receivables. The determination of the increase in reserves was based on the deterioration of the aging of the vendor receivables, the expected resolution of the vendor rebate disallowed claims and the general posture of the OEM's regarding resolution. Primary reasons for vendor rebate claims being disallowed and corresponding re-files include serial number issues (missing, incomplete, transposed, data base match-up discrepancies, etc.), pricing issues (dispute in calculation of rebate amounts) and other missing or incomplete documentation (bid letters, customer information, etc.). 4. NET INVESTMENT IN LEASES The Company's net investment in leases principally includes sales type leases. See Note 19 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the sale of substantially all of the assets of TIFS.

In addition, the Company acquired Datanet, Inc., a Raleigh, North Carolina-based Information Technology Company and The Linc, a Birmingham Alabama-based Cisco Silver Partner whose primary focus is on network design, consulting, systems engineering and maintenance in connection with Cisco products and Val Tech, a Birmingham, Alabama leasing company. The Company recorded $1.2 million, $8.9 million, and $4.0 million of goodwill in connection with those acquisitions, respectively. In fiscal 2001, the Company acquired certain assets of Osage Systems Group, Inc., a Phoenix, Arizona based network integrator. In addition, the Company acquired Charlotte based firms Ballantyne Consulting Group, Inc. and System 5 Technologies, Inc. The firms have been combined to create an expanded Information Technology services arm that provides end-to-end infrastructure design and implementation and project management solutions for eBusiness enablement, systems integration, package applications, customer relationship management, enterprise resource planning and data warehousing. The Company recorded $1.7 million, $1.5 million, and $3.4 million of goodwill in connection with those acquisitions, respectively. 7. BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS Bank Notes Payable - The Company's financing of receivables is provided through a portion of its revolving credit facility with Deutsche Financial Services ("DFS"). The $240.0 million credit facility has a three year term and includes $72.0 million for inventory financing (see floor plan arrangements below), $144.0 million for working capital, and a cash-flow component in the form of a $24.0 million term loan, which is not restricted to a borrowing base. Under the agreement, the credit facility provides a credit line of $144.0 million for working capital, which is based upon accounts receivable financing. The accounts receivable and term loan portion of the credit facility carry a variable interest rate based on the London InterBank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") and a pricing grid. At January 5, 2002, the amount outstanding was $11.9 million, including $3.4 million of overdrafts on the Company's books in accounts at a participant bank on the credit facility, which was at an interest rate of 3.87%. The weighted average interest rate on the bank revolving credit agreements was 7.0%, 8.0% and 6.5% in fiscal 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively. The overdrafts were subsequently funded through the normal course of business. The credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company, except those assets that collateralize certain other financing arrangements. Under the terms of the credit facility, the Company is subject to various financial covenants and restricted from paying dividends. As of January 5, 2002, the Company was in violation of a financial covenant, which has been waived and subsequently modified by the lender. F-11 Floor plan arrangements - A significant part of the Company's inventories is financed by floor plan arrangements with third parties. At January 5, 2002, these lines of credit totaled $84.0 million, including $72.0 million with DFS and $12.0 million with IBM Credit Corporation ("ICC"). Borrowings under the DFS floor plan arrangements are made on thirty-day notes. Borrowings under the ICC floor plan arrangements are made on either thirty-day or sixty-day notes. All such borrowings are secured by the related inventory. Financing on substantially all of the arrangements is interest free due to subsidies by manufacturers. Overall, the average rate on these arrangements is less than 1.0%. The Company classifies amounts outstanding under the floor plan arrangements as accounts payable. Notes payable - Notes payable consist of the following:
(in thousands) Fiscal Years ---------------- 2000 2001 ------- ------- Non-recourse notes payable to banks at various interest rates, ranging from 4.3% to 11.4%. The notes relate to the Company's leasing segment and mature on various dates through 2005. $36,033 $33,371 Acquisition notes payable at various interest rates, ranging from 6% to 9.5%, and unsecured.

9. OPERATING LEASES AND COMMITMENTS Operating Leases- The Company leases office and warehouse space, vehicles and certain office equipment from various lessors including a related party. See Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding related parties. Lease terms vary in duration and include various option periods. The leases generally require the Company to pay taxes and insurance. Future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases with initial or remaining terms in excess of one year as of January 5, 2002, including the lease with the related party, are as follows:
(in thousands) Fiscal Year ----------------------------- 2002 $ 6,000 2003 5,108 2004 2,802 2005 2,240 Thereafter 740 ------- Total minimum lease payments $16,890 =======
Employment Agreements- The Company is party to employment agreements with certain executives, which provide for compensation and certain other benefits. The agreements also provide for severance payments under certain circumstances. 10. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS The Company has a savings plan intended to qualify under sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The plan covers substantially all employees of the Company. Beginning January 6, 1998, the Company made contributions to the plan based on a participant's annual pay. Contributions made by the Company for fiscal 2000 and 2001 were approximately $317 thousand and $418 thousand, respectively. The Company has a stock purchase plan (the "1998 plan") under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The 1998 plan provides substantially all employees of the Company with an opportunity to purchase through payroll deductions up to 2,000 shares of common stock of the Company with a maximum market value of $25,000. The purchase price per share is determined by whichever of two prices is lower: 85% of the closing market price of the Company's common stock in the first trading date of an offering period (grant date), or 85% of the closing market price of the Company's common stock in the last trading date of an offering period (exercise date). 200,000 shares of common stock of the Company are reserved for issuance under the 1998 plan. The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time terminate or amend the 1998 plan. The 1998 plan will terminate twenty years from the effective date unless sooner terminated. 11. MAJOR CUSTOMERS During fiscal 1999, 2000, and 2001, no customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's total net sales and revenues. F-14 12. ACQUISITIONS During fiscal 1999, the Company completed two acquisitions. The total consideration given consisted of $4.2 million in cash, subordinated notes of $2.6 million and 39 thousand unregistered shares of the Company's stock with an approximate value of $0.6 million. Additionally, the purchase price will be adjusted for any potential earn outs. Interest on the subordinated notes is payable quarterly. Principal in the amount of $0.6 million is payable in full on the anniversary date of closing and the $2.0 million of principal is payable in equal annual installments. The acquisitions were accounted for as purchases, accordingly the purchase price was allocated to assets and liabilities based on their estimated value as of the dates of acquisition. The results of operations of the acquisitions are included in the consolidated statement of income from the dates of acquisition. If the 1999 acquisitions had occurred on January 6, 1999, the pro forma operations of the Company would not have been materially different than that reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. During fiscal 2000, the Company completed four acquisitions. The total consideration given consisted of $15.2 million in cash, subordinated notes of $4.8 million. Additionally, the purchase price will be adjusted for any potential earn outs. Interest on the subordinated notes is payable quarterly. Principal in the amount of $0.2 million was a 90 day note paid in full in 2000, and the $4.6 million of principal is payable in equal annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of closing. The acquisitions were accounted for as purchases, accordingly the purchase price was allocated to assets and liabilities based on their estimated value as of the dates of acquisition. The results of operations of the acquisitions are included in the consolidated statement of income from the dates of acquisition. If the 2000 acquisitions had occurred on January 6, 2000, the pro forma operations of the Company would not have been materially different than that reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. During fiscal 2001, the Company completed three acquisitions. The total consideration given consisted of $8.0 million in cash, subordinated notes of $1.3 million. Additionally, the purchase price will be adjusted for any potential earn outs. Interest on the subordinated notes is payable quarterly. Principal in the amount of $1.3 million is payable in equal annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of closing. The acquisitions were accounted for as purchases, accordingly the purchase price was allocated to assets and liabilities based on their estimated value as of the dates of acquisition. The results of operations of the acquisitions are included in the consolidated statement of income from the dates of acquisition. If the 2001 acquisitions had occurred on January 6, 2001, the pro forma operations of the Company would not have been materially different than that reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. 13. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Leases- The Company leases its headquarters, distribution facility and the national training center from a company that is controlled by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. It is a triple net lease agreement, which expires in the year 2010. Base rental for fiscal 1999, 2000 and 2001 was approximately $0.9, $1.1 and $1.2 million, respectively. The annual rental for these properties was determined on the basis of a fair market value rental opinion provided by an independent real estate company, which was updated in 2000. In addition, the Company pays for the business use of real estate that is owned by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. During fiscal years 1999, 2000 and 2001, the Company paid $95 thousand each year in connection with this real estate. A director of the Company is President of Information Leasing Corporation ("ILC"). In the first quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company sold certain leases to ILC for $5.0 million. See Note 19 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the sale of substantially all of the assets of TIFS to ILC. Investment in Lease Residuals - The Company participates in a Remarketing and Agency Agreement ("Agreement") with Information Leasing Corporation ("ILC") whereby the Company obtains rights to 50% of lease residual values for services rendered in connection with locating the lessee, selling the equipment to ILC and agreeing to assist in remarketing the used equipment. During fiscal 1999, 2000 and 2001 the Company sold equipment and related support services to ILC, for lease to ILC's customers, in amounts of $0.6 million, $2.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The Company also purchases residuals associated with separate leasing arrangements entered into by ILC. Such transactions do not involve the sale of equipment and related support services by the Company to ILC. Residuals acquired in this manner are accounted for at cost. F-15 The carrying value of investments in lease residuals is $2.3 million and $1.3 million as of January 5, 2001 and 2002, respectively and is included in long-term net investment in leases. Investments in lease residuals are evaluated on a quarterly basis, and are subject only to downward market adjustments until ultimately realized through a sale or re-lease of the equipment. 14. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW DISCLOSURES Supplemental disclosures with respect to cash flow information and non-cash investing and financing activities are as follows:

15. TREASURY STOCK On September 19, 2001, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to 100,000 shares of the Company's outstanding stock at market price. During the third quarter 2001, the Company repurchased 33,000 shares of stock at a cost of $0.4 million. During the fourth quarter 2001, the Company repurchased 11,000 shares of stock at a cost of $0.1 million. 16. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND STOCK OPTION PLANS The Company's 1992 Non-Qualified and Incentive Stock Option Plan provides certain employees of the Company with options to purchase common stock of the Company through options at an exercise price equal to the market value on the date of grant. 5,300,000 shares of the common stock of the Company are reserved for issuance under the plan. The plan will terminate ten years from the date of adoption. See Note 19 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for subsequent event disclosure on "Stock Option Plans." Stock options granted under the plan are exercisable in accordance with various terms as authorized by the Compensation Committee. To the extent not exercised, options will expire not more than ten years after the date of grant. The Company's 1992 Outside Directors' Stock Option Plan provides outside directors of the Company with options to purchase common stock of the Company at an exercise price equal to the market value of the shares at the date of grant. 262,500 shares of common stock of the Company are reserved for issuance under the plan. The plan will terminate ten years from the date of adoption. See Note 19 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for subsequent event disclosure on "Stock Option Plans." Pursuant to the plan, an option to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock automatically will be granted on the first day of the initial term of a director. An additional 2,500 shares of common stock automatically will be granted to an eligible director upon the first day of each consecutive year of service on the board. Options may be exercised after one year from the date of grant for not more than one-third of the shares subject to the option and an additional one-third of the shares subject to the option may be exercised for each of the next two years thereafter. To the extent not exercised, options will expire five years after the date of grant.

The weighted average fair value at date of grant for options granted during fiscal 1999, 2000 and 2001 was $5.79, $7.48 and $6.05, respectively. The fair value of options at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted average assumptions:
Fiscal 1999 Fiscal 2000 Fiscal 2001 ------------ ------------ ------------ Expected life (years) 2.0 3.7 3.3 Interest rate 6.4% 4.7% 4.5% Volatility 60% 62% 57% Dividend yield 0% 0% 0%
F-17 Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards in fiscal 1999, 2000 and 2001 consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:
(in thousands, except per share amounts) Fiscal 1999 Fiscal 2000 Fiscal 2001 ------------ ------------ ------------ Net income - as reported $ 24,882 $ 29,488 $ 7,809 Net income - pro forma $ 20,854 $ 23,342 $ 5,015 Net income per common share - as reported Basic 2.12 2.42 0.62 Diluted 2.11 2.38 0.61 Net income per common share - pro forma Basic 1.78 1.91 0.40 Diluted 1.77 1.88 0.39
