NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of ScanSource, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared by the Company’s management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for annual financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007, the results of operations for the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 and the statement of cash flows for the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. The results of operations for the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

 

(2) Business Description

The Company is a leading wholesale distributor of specialty technology products, providing value-added distribution sales to resellers in the specialty technology markets. The Company has two geographic distribution segments: one serving North America from the Memphis, Tennessee distribution center, and an international segment currently serving Latin America (including Mexico) and Europe from distribution centers located in Florida and Mexico, and in Belgium, respectively. The North American distribution segment markets automatic identification and data capture (“AIDC”) and point-of-sale (“POS”) products through its ScanSource sales unit; voice, data and converged communications equipment through its Catalyst Telecom sales unit; video conferencing, telephony, and communications products through its newly formed ScanSource Communications unit; and electronic security products and wireless infrastructure products through its ScanSource Security Distribution unit. The international distribution segment markets AIDC and POS products through its ScanSource sales unit.

 

(3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Standards Recently Issued

Consolidation Policy

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

Minority Interest

Minority interest represents that portion of the net equity of majority-owned subsidiaries of the Company held by minority shareholders. The minority shareholders’ share of the subsidiaries’ income or loss is listed separately in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements. Effective July 1, 2007, the Company owns 100% of Netpoint International, Inc. (“Netpoint”).

Use of Estimates

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

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)—(Continued)

 

The following significant accounting policies relate to the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements:

(a) Allowances for Trade and Notes Receivable

The Company maintains an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable for estimated losses resulting from customers’ failure to make payments on accounts receivable due to the Company. Management determines the estimate of the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable by considering a number of factors, including: (1) historical experience, (2) aging of the accounts receivable and (3) specific information obtained by the Company on the financial condition and the current creditworthiness of its customers. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate and reduce the ability of the Company’s customers to make payments on their accounts, the Company may be required to increase its allowance by recording additional bad debt expense. Likewise, should the financial condition of the Company’s customers improve and result in payments or settlements of previously reserved amounts, the Company may be required to record a reduction in bad debt expense to reverse the recorded allowance. A provision for estimated losses on returns and allowances is recorded at the time of sale based on historical experience.

(b) Inventory Reserves

Management determines the inventory reserves required to reduce inventories to the lower of cost or market based principally on the effects of technological changes, quantities of goods on hand, and other factors. An estimate is made of the market value, less cost to dispose, of products whose value is determined to be impaired. If these products are ultimately sold at less than estimated amounts, additional reserves may be required. Likewise, if these products are sold for more than the estimated amounts, reserves may be reduced.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation in the accompanying financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Checks prepared but not yet cleared at the Company’s bank of $14.7 million as of September 30, 2007 and $45.7 million as of June 30, 2007 are included in accounts payable.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company’s foreign currency exposure results from purchasing and selling internationally in several foreign currencies. In addition, the Company has foreign currency risk related to debt that is denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. The Company may reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates by creating offsetting positions through the use of derivative financial instruments or multi-currency borrowings. The market risk related to the foreign exchange agreements is offset by changes in the valuation of the underlying items. The Company currently does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes, nor is the Company a party to leveraged derivatives.

Derivative financial instruments are accounted for on an accrual basis with gains and losses on these contracts recorded in income in the period in which their value changes, with the offsetting entry for unsettled positions reflected in either other assets or other liabilities. These contracts are generally for a duration of 90 days or less. The Company has elected not to designate its foreign currency contracts as hedging instruments. They are, therefore, marked-to-market with changes in their value recorded in the Consolidated Income Statement each period. The underlying exposures are denominated primarily in British Pounds, Euros, and Canadian Dollars. To date, the activity and outstanding contracts related to these instruments have not been material.

Inventories

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

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)—(Continued)

 

Vendor Programs

The Company receives incentives from vendors related to cooperative advertising allowances, volume rebates and other incentive agreements. These incentives are generally under quarterly, semi-annual or annual agreements with the vendors. Some of these incentives are negotiated on an ad hoc basis to support specific programs mutually developed between the Company and the vendor. Vendors generally require that we use their cooperative advertising allowances exclusively for advertising or other marketing programs. Incentives received from vendors for specifically identified incremental cooperative advertising programs are recorded as adjustments to selling, general and administrative expenses. EITF Issue No. 02-16, “Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor” (“EITF 02-16”) requires that the portion of these vendor funds in excess of our costs to be reflected as a reduction of inventory. Such funds are recognized as a reduction of the cost of products sold when the related inventory is sold.

The Company records unrestricted, volume rebates received as a reduction of inventory and as a reduction of the cost of goods sold when the related inventory is sold. Amounts received or receivable from vendors that are not yet earned are deferred in the consolidated balance sheet. In addition, the Company may receive early payment discounts from certain vendors. The Company records early payment discounts received as a reduction of inventory and recognizes the discount as a reduction of cost of goods sold when the related inventory is sold. EITF 02-16 requires management to make certain estimates of the amounts of vendor incentives that will be received. Actual recognition of the vendor consideration may vary from management estimates based on actual results.

Product Warranty

The Company’s vendors generally provide a warranty on the products distributed by the Company and allow the Company to return defective products, including those that have been returned to the Company by its customers. In one product line, the Company offers certain warranty service programs and records a provision for estimated service warranty costs at the time of sale, adjusting periodically to reflect actual experience. To date, neither warranty expense nor the accrual for warranty costs has been material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. For all other product lines, the Company does not independently provide a warranty on the products it distributes; however, to maintain customer relations, the Company facilitates returns of defective products of the Company’s customers by accepting for exchange, with the Company's prior approval, most defective products within 30 days of invoicing.

Property and Equipment, and Other Assets (except Other Identifiable Intangible Assets)

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 3 to 5 years for furniture, equipment and computer software, 40 years for buildings and 15 years for building improvements. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged to expense as incurred. Additions, major renewals and betterments to property and equipment are capitalized.

Goodwill

The Company accounts for recorded goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which revised the standards of accounting for goodwill, by replacing the amortization of these assets with the requirement that they are reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. See Note 6, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” for a discussion of the annual goodwill impairment test.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of customer lists, debt issue costs, trade names, and non-compete agreements. Customer lists are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which range from 5 to 15 years. Debt issue costs are amortized over the term of the credit facility. Trade names are amortized over 10 years. Non-compete agreements are amortized over their contract life. These assets are included in other assets and are shown in detail in Note 6, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of financial instruments is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The carrying values of financial instruments such as accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, borrowings under the revolving credit facility and subsidiary lines of credit approximate fair value based upon either short maturities or variable interest rates of these instruments.

Contingencies

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

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized once four criteria are met: (1) the Company must have persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (2) delivery must occur, which happens at the point of shipment (this includes the transfer of both title and risk of loss, provided that no significant obligations remain); (3) the price must be fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility must be reasonably assured. A provision for estimated losses on returns is recorded at the time of sale based on historical experience.

The Company has service revenue associated with configuration and marketing, which is recognized when the work is complete and all obligations are substantially met. The Company also sells third-party services, such as maintenance contracts. Since the Company is acting as an agent for these services, revenue is recognized net of cost at the time of sale. Revenue from multiple element arrangements is allocated to the various elements based on the relative fair value of the elements, and each revenue cycle is considered a separate accounting unit with recognition of revenue based on the criteria met for the individual element of the multiple deliverables.

Shipping Revenue and Costs

Shipping revenue is included in net sales and related costs are included in cost of goods sold. Shipping revenue for the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was $3.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

The Company defers advertising related costs until the advertising is first run in trade or other publications, or in the case of brochures, until the brochures are printed and available for distribution. Advertising costs, included in marketing costs, after vendor reimbursement, were not significant in the quarters ended September 30, 2007 or 2006. Deferred advertising costs at September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007 were not significant.

Foreign Currency

The currency effects of translating the financial statements of the Company’s foreign entities that operate in their local currency are included in the cumulative currency translation adjustment component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The assets and liabilities of these foreign entities are translated into U.S. Dollars using the exchange rate at the end of the respective period. Sales, costs and expenses are translated at average exchange rates effective during the respective period.

Foreign currency transactional and re-measurement gains and losses are included in other expense (income) in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statement. Such amounts are not significant to any of the periods presented.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. Deferred income taxes reflect tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts. Valuation allowances are provided against deferred tax assets in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Federal income taxes are not provided on the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries because it has been the practice of the Company to reinvest those earnings in the business outside of the United States. Effective July 1, 2007 the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of SFAS 109. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109 and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. See Note 9 for more information on the Company’s adoption of the interpretation.

Share-Based Payment

Effective July 1, 2005, the Company began accounting for share-based compensation under the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which requires the recognition of the fair value of share-based compensation. Under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), share-based compensation is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the awards expected to vest and recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period of the award. The Company has used the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate fair value of share-based awards, which requires various assumptions including estimating stock price volatility, forfeiture rates and expected life.

Comprehensive Income

SFAS 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, defines comprehensive income as the change in equity (net assets) of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from nonowner sources. It includes net income and foreign currency translation and is presented below:

Foreign currency translation gains or losses are not tax-effected because the earnings of foreign subsidiaries are considered by Company management to be permanently reinvested. At September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007, accumulated other comprehensive income included in stockholders’ equity totaled $7.7 million and $6.6 million, respectively.

Accounting Standards Recently Issued

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which requires companies to provide additional information regarding the effect of a company’s choice to use fair value on its earnings and to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities which the company has chosen to use on the face of the balance sheet. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. This statement is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company's financial statements by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on de-recognition of tax benefits previously recognized and additional disclosures for unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties. FIN 48 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and was adopted by the Company on July 1, 2007. See Note 9 for more information regarding the Company’s adoption of this Interpretation.

$180 million multi-currency revolving credit facility. The new facility is guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries and is secured by substantially all of the domestic assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries. The facility bears interest at a rate equal to a spread over the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) rate or prime rate, as chosen by the Company. This spread is dependent on the Company’s ratio of funded debt to EBITDA (as defined in the credit facility) and ranges from 0.50% to 1.25% for LIBOR-based loans, and from 0.00% to 0.25% for prime rate-based loans. The spread in effect as of September 30, 2007 was 0.625% for LIBOR-based loans and 0.00% for prime rate-based loans. The new agreement subjects the Company to certain financial covenants, including minimum fixed charge and leverage ratio covenants. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the credit facility as of September 30, 2007.

The effective weighted average interest rate for the Company’s revolving line of credit facility as of September 30, 2007 was 5.68% and at June 30, 2007 was 6.41%. The outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2007 were $131.5 million on a total commitment of $250 million, leaving $118.5 million available for additional borrowings.

On August 1, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with the State of Mississippi in order to provide financing for the acquisition and installation of certain equipment to be utilized at the Company’s new Southaven, Mississippi distribution facility, through the issuance of an industrial development revenue bond. The bond matures on September 1, 2032 and accrues interest at the 30-day LIBOR rate plus a spread of .85%. The terms of the bond allows for payment of interest only for the first 10 years of the agreement, and then, starting on September 1, 2018 through 2032, principal and interest payments are due until the maturity date or the redemptions of the bond. The Company receives advances on this bond on an as-needed basis to pay the ongoing costs of the project, not to exceed $6 million.

The $13 million unsecured note payable was entered into on July 25, 2006, and includes a requirement that the Company not encumber its headquarters’ property except as permitted by the lender. This note matures on July 31, 2008, and has been reclassified to current as of September 30, 2007. The Company is in negotiations to refinance this note payable.

(6) Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company performs its annual test of goodwill at the end of each fiscal year to determine if impairment has occurred. In addition, the Company performs an impairment analysis for goodwill whenever indicators of impairment are present. This testing includes the determination of each reporting unit’s fair value using market multiples and discounted cash flows modeling. At the end of fiscal year 2007, no impairment charge related to goodwill was recorded.

Effective July 1, 2007, the Company owns 100% of Netpoint. The Company is currently finalizing the purchase price for the outstanding 8% of Netpoint, and anticipates payment will be made during the next quarter.

During the current quarter, the Company incurred approximately $0.7 million of debt issuance costs associated with refinancing activities. Approximately $0.2 million of unamortized debt issuance costs were written off in connection with the extinguishment of the previous revolving credit facility.

The weighted average amortization period for all intangible assets was approximately fourteen years for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 and thirteen years for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Amortization expense for the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was $0.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Amortization expense for the remainder of fiscal year 2008 and for fiscal years 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and thereafter is estimated to be approximately $1.5 million, $2.0 million, $1.4 million, $1.4 million, $1.4 million, and $11.2 million, respectively.

(7) Segment Information

The Company is a leading distributor of specialty technology products, providing value-added distribution sales to resellers in the specialty technology markets. The Company has two reporting segments, based on geographic location. The measure of segment profit is operating income, and the accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 3.

North American Distribution

North American Distribution offers products for sale in four primary categories: (i) AIDC and POS equipment sold by the ScanSource sales unit, (ii) voice, data and converged communications equipment sold by the Catalyst Telecom sales unit, (iii) video conferencing, telephony, and communications products sold by the newly formed ScanSource Communications unit, (iv) electronic security products and wireless infrastructure products through its ScanSource Security Distribution sales unit. These products are sold to more than 14,000 resellers and integrators of technology products that are geographically disbursed over the United States and Canada in a pattern that mirrors population concentration. No single account represented more than 7% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

International Distribution

The international distribution segment sells to two geographic areas, Latin America (including Mexico) and Europe, and offers AIDC and POS equipment to more than 6,000 resellers and integrators of technology products. This segment began during fiscal 2002 with the Company’s purchase of a majority interest in Netpoint and the start-up of the Company’s European operations. Of this segment’s customers, no single account represented more than 2% of the Company’s consolidated net sales during the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Inter-segment sales consist of sales by the North American distribution segment to the international distribution segment. All inter-segment revenues and profits have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

(8) Commitments and Contingencies

On November 21, 2006, a purported stockholder filed a derivative lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina in Greenville, South Carolina against certain current and former officers and directors of the Company and against the Company, as a nominal defendant, asserting causes of action based on alleged violations of securities laws (including alleged violations of Section 10(b), 14(a), and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 of the SEC) and other common law claims including, breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting and unjust enrichment relating to allegations concerning certain of the Company’s prior stock option grants. The lawsuit seeks relief in the form of an accounting, recission, unspecified money damages, disgorgement, attorneys’ fees, fees and expenses and other relief. On April 2, 2007, the Court appointed the plaintiff as lead plaintiff and ordered that any later actions filed in the same court and that related to the same facts shall be consolidated.

On April 11, 2007, another purported stockholder filed a substantially similar derivative lawsuit also related to the Company’s prior grants of stock options. This action was also filed in the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina in Greenville, South Carolina against certain current and former officers and directors of the Company and against the Company, as nominal defendant, and asserts substantially similar causes of action and claims for relief. The plaintiff in this second action has filed a motion to consolidate the two actions and appoint the plaintiff as a co-lead plaintiff.

On November 27, 2006 and April 13, 2007, the Company provided notice to its insurance carrier of these actions. The Company’s insurance carrier, subject to a reservation of rights, provided a preliminary position on the coverage of these derivative claims in which the carrier indicated that these lawsuit allegations appear to constitute a claim within coverage of the Company’s insurance policy. The carrier continues to assess coverage of these matters.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)—(Continued)

 

The Company continues to provide voluntary information to the SEC and the Department of Justice in connection with this matter.

The Company and its subsidiaries are, from time to time, parties to lawsuits arising out of operations. Although there can be no assurance, based upon information known to the Company, the Company believes that any liability resulting from an adverse determination of such lawsuits would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

 

(9) Income Taxes

Effective July 1, 2007, the beginning of fiscal year 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. As of the adoption date, the Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $1.6 million, $1.1 million of which, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. The Company does not expect that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months.

The Company conducts business globally and, as a result, one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal, various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities in countries in which it operates. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years before 2004. The U.S. federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006 are currently under examination by the taxing authorities.

The Company’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of September 30, 2007, the Company had approximately $464,000 accrued for interest and penalties, of which $9,000 was a current period expense.

The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily as a result of state income taxes.

North American Distribution

North American distribution sales include sales to technology resellers in the United States and Canada from the Company’s Memphis, Tennessee distribution center. Sales to technology resellers in Canada account for less than 5% of total net sales for the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. The 8.3% or $35.7 million increase in North American distribution sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the same period in the prior year, was due primarily to continued strong performance in the AIDC and POS and communications product divisions.

Sales of the AIDC, POS, and security product categories for the North America distribution segment increased 10.4% as compared to the prior year quarter. A portion of this increase relates to higher sales associated with new product lines within this division. In addition, the Company’s AIDC product lines continue to generate strong sales on a comparative basis.

Sales of communications products increased 6.3% as compared to the prior year quarter. This increase is largely due to higher sales within our Catalyst Telecom and T2 Supply divisions. Catalyst Telecom sales increased due to incentives offered by certain vendors to our value added resellers in the current quarter. In addition, several other key vendors within this division also experienced year over year growth. Sales in our T2 Supply division also increased over the comparative prior year period since our acquisition of this business on July 3, 2006.

International Distribution

The international distribution segment includes sales to Latin America (including Mexico) and Europe from the ScanSource selling unit. Sales for the overall international segment increased 31.8% or $21.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in sales was primarily attributable to a gain in market share in Europe and Latin America. Without the foreign exchange fluctuations, the increase in sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 would have been $16.6 million or 24.4%.

North American Distribution

Gross profit for the North American distribution segment increased 10.0% or $4.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the prior year quarter largely due to increased sales volume in all product categories. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the North American distribution segment increased slightly compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily due to a favorable customer mix and overachievement of certain vendor programs.

International Distribution

Gross profit for the international distribution segment increased 22.8% or $1.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to increased distribution sales volume.

Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, which is typically greater than the North American Distribution segment, decreased for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in the prior year due primarily to short term competitive pressures in pricing.

Operating expenses

   $ 32,771    $ 30,320    $ 2,451    8.1 %   5.9 %   6.1 %

For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, operating expenses increased by 8.1% or $2.5 million compared to the same period in the prior year. Approximately $1.9 million of this increase is due to higher salary and benefits expenditures due to increases in headcount, while another $0.6 million of this increase relates to incremental marketing expenditures. The Company also incurred approximately $0.5 million of incremental expenditures related to legal fees associated with the Company’s stock option investigation and remediation activities. These increases were offset by decreases in various other operating expenses.

Operating income

   $ 25,353    $ 21,518    $ 3,835    17.8 %   4.6 %   4.3 %

Operating income increased 17.8% or $3.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was a result of increased gross profit on higher sales volume and slightly higher gross profit margin percentages as discussed above, somewhat offset by increased operating expenses. Operating income as a percentage of net sales increased slightly compared to the same period in the prior year, as noted per the gross profit and operating expense discussion above.

Interest expense reflects interest paid on borrowings on the Company’s line of credit and long-term debt. Interest expense for the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was $2.1 million and $1.8 million, respectively. The increased expense during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 was primarily due to higher average debt balances attributable to increased borrowings to finance the Company’s capital expenditures and working capital. Working capital was increased to fund the Company’s continued sales growth.

Net foreign exchange gains and losses consist of foreign currency transactional and functional currency re-measurements, offset by net foreign currency exchange contract gains and losses. Net foreign exchange gains for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were $52,000 and $345,000, respectively. The change in foreign exchange gains for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the prior year are primarily the result of fluctuations in the value of the Euro versus the British Pound, and to a lesser extent, the U.S. Dollar versus other currencies. The Company utilizes foreign exchange contracts and debt in non-functional currencies to hedge foreign currency exposure. The Company’s foreign exchange policy prohibits entering into speculative transactions.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $9.0 million and $7.8 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, reflecting an effective income tax rate of 38.0% and 38.4%, respectively.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations, borrowings under the revolving credit facility, secured and unsecured borrowings, and, to a lesser extent, borrowings under the subsidiary’s line of credit, and proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalent balance totaled $11.8 million at September 30, 2007 compared to $1.9 million at June 30, 2007. The Company’s working capital increased to $393 million at September 30, 2007 from $353 million at June 30, 2007. The increase in working capital resulted primarily from a $9.9 million increase in cash and cash equivalents, a $22.3 million increase in the Company’s trade and notes receivable, and a $21.2 million increase in inventories. These increases continue to support the worldwide growth of the Company and allow for greater customer financing as allowed by our return on invested capital (ROIC) model.

The increase in the amount of trade accounts receivable is attributable to an increase in sales during the quarter. The number of days sales outstanding (DSO) in ending trade receivables increased to 61 days at September 30, 2007 from 60 days at June 30, 2007.

Vendor payable days decreased to 46 days for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 compared to 55 days from the prior year quarter in September 2006. Vendor payable days can be temporarily higher or lower due to the normal timing as to when the last day of a quarter ends relative to the bi-monthly payments we make to vendors.

Inventory turnover increased to 7.0 times for the twelve month period ended September 30, 2007 from 6.7 times for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. This increase is largely attributable to increased sales during the first quarter of fiscal 2008.

Cash used in operating activities was $24.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, compared to $25.8 million of cash used in operating activities for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.

Cash used in investing activities for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 was $2.6 million, compared to $51.1 million used in the comparative prior year quarter. The Company’s capital expenditures in the current quarter of $2.6 million were primarily purchases of equipment, software, and furniture related to the Company’s new distribution facility located in Southaven, Mississippi. In the prior year quarter the Company acquired T2 Supply, LLC for $50.6 million.

Cash provided by financing activities was $36.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 compared to $76.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The cash provided in the current year is primarily related to increased borrowings on the Company’s revolving line of credit facility to finance the Company’s operating activities. The decrease from the prior year largely reflects the borrowings incurred to finance the acquisition of T2 Supply in the quarter ended September 30, 2006, as discussed previously.

On September 28, 2007, the Company entered into a $250 million multi-currency revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks that matures on September 28, 2012. This revolving credit facility has a $50 million accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the availability to $300 million subject to obtaining commitments for the incremental capacity from existing or new lenders. This revolving credit facility refinances and replaces the Company’s previous $180 million multi-currency revolving credit facility. The new facility is guaranteed by the Company and some of its subsidiaries and is secured by substantially all of the domestic assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries. The facility bears interest at a rate equal to a spread over the applicable LIBOR rate or prime rate, as chosen by the Company. This spread is dependent on the Company’s ratio of funded debt to EBITDA (as defined in the credit facility) and ranges from 0.50% to 1.25% for LIBOR-based loans, and from 0.00% to 0.25% for prime rate-based loans. The spread in effect as of September 30, 2007 was 0.625% for LIBOR-based loans and 0.00% for prime rate-based loans. The new agreement subjects the Company to certain financial covenants, including minimum fixed charge and leverage ratio covenants. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the credit facility as of September 30, 2007.

The effective weighted average interest rate on the Company’s revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2007 was 5.68% and as of June 30, 2007 was 6.41%. The outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2007 were $131.5 million on a total commitment of $250 million, leaving $118.5 million available for additional borrowings.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

On August 1, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with the State of Mississippi in order to provide financing for the acquisition and installation of certain equipment to be utilized at the Company’s new Southaven, Mississippi distribution facility, through the issuance of an industrial development revenue bond. The bond matures on September 1, 2032 and accrues interest at the 30-day LIBOR rate plus a spread of .85%. The terms of the bond allows for payment of interest only for the first 10 years of the agreement, and then, starting on September 1, 2018 through 2032, principal and interest payments are due until the maturity date or the redemptions of the bond. The Company receives advances on this loan on an as needed basis to pay the ongoing costs of the project, not to exceed $6 million.

On August 17, 2006, the Company obtained a secured revolving credit facility with a borrowing limit of €3.0 million. At September 30, 2007, the balance was €1.9 million or $2.6 million, and the effective rate of interest was 5.16%.

On July 25, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with a bank for a $13.0 million unsecured long-term note payable with monthly payments of interest only. At September 30, 2007, the balance of the note was $13.0 million and the effective rate of interest was 6.32%. The note matures in July 2008. The Company is currently in negotiations to refinance this note payable.

The Company believes that its existing sources of liquidity, including cash resources and cash provided by operating activities, supplemented as necessary with funds under the Company’s credit agreements, will provide sufficient resources to meet the Company’s present and future working capital and cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Accounting Standards Recently Issued

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which requires companies to provide additional information regarding the effect of a company’s choice to use fair value on its earnings and to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities which the company has chosen to use on the face of the balance sheet. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. This statement is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company's financial statements by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on de-recognition of tax benefits previously recognized and additional disclosures for unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and was required to be adopted by the Company beginning July 1, 2008. As discussed in the Company’s Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact.

Impact of Inflation

The Company has not been adversely affected by inflation as technological advances and competition within specialty technology markets has generally caused prices of the products sold by the Company to decline. Management believes that any price increases could be passed on to its customers, as prices charged by the Company are not set by long-term contracts.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

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

Interest Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of its borrowing activities, which include revolving credit facilities with a group of banks used to maintain liquidity and fund the Company’s business operations. The nature and amount of the Company’s debt may vary as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates on borrowings on the Company’s revolving line of credit, variable rate long term debt and subsidiary line of credit for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 would have resulted in an approximately $323,000 increase or decrease, respectively, in pre-tax income. The Company does not currently use derivative instruments or take other actions to adjust the Company’s interest rate risk profile, but may do so in the future.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from its foreign operations in Canada, Mexico and Europe. These risks include the translation of local currency balances of foreign subsidiaries, inter-company loans with foreign subsidiaries and transactions denominated in non-functional currencies. These risks may change over time as business practices evolve and could have a material impact on the Company’s financial results in the future. In the normal course of business, foreign exchange risk is managed by using foreign currency forward contracts to hedge these exposures, as well as balance sheet netting of exposures. The Company’s Board of Directors has approved a foreign exchange hedging policy to minimize foreign currency exposure. The Company’s policy is to utilize financial instruments to reduce risks where internal netting cannot be effectively employed and not to enter into foreign currency derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The Company monitors its risk associated with the volatility of certain foreign currencies against its functional currencies and enters into foreign exchange derivative contracts to minimize short-term currency risks on cash flows. The Company continually evaluates foreign exchange risk and may enter into foreign exchange transactions in accordance with its policy. Foreign currency gains and losses are included in other expense (income).

The Company has elected not to designate its foreign currency contracts as hedging instruments, and therefore, the instruments are marked to market with changes in their values recorded in the Consolidated Income Statement each period. The underlying exposures are denominated primarily in British Pounds, Euros, and Canadian Dollars. At September 30, 2007, the Company’s currency forward contracts outstanding were immaterial. The Company does not utilize financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes, nor does it utilize leveraged financial instruments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2007. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of September 30, 2007. During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On November 21, 2006, a purported stockholder filed a derivative lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina in Greenville, South Carolina against certain current and former officers and directors of the Company and against the Company, as a nominal defendant, asserting causes of action based on alleged violations of securities laws (including alleged violations of Section 10(b), 14(a), and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 of the SEC) and other common law claims including, breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting and unjust enrichment relating to allegations concerning certain of the Company’s prior stock option grants. The lawsuit seeks relief in the form of an accounting, recission, unspecified money damages, disgorgement, attorneys’ fees, fees and expenses and other relief. On April 2, 2007, the Court appointed the plaintiff as lead plaintiff and ordered that any later actions filed in the same court and that related to the same facts shall be consolidated.

On April 11, 2007, another purported stockholder filed a substantially similar derivative lawsuit also related to the Company’s prior grants of stock options. This action was also filed in the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina in Greenville, South Carolina against certain current and former officers and directors of the Company and against the Company, as nominal defendant, and asserts substantially similar causes of action and claims for relief. The plaintiff in this second action has filed a motion to consolidate the two actions and appoint the plaintiff as a co-lead plaintiff.

On November 27, 2006 and April 13, 2007, the Company provided notice to its insurance carrier of these actions. The Company’s insurance carrier, subject to a reservation of rights, provided a preliminary position on the coverage of these derivative claims in which the carrier indicated that these lawsuit allegations appear to constitute a claim within coverage of the Company’s insurance policy. The carrier continues to assess coverage of these matters.

The Company continues to provide voluntary information to the SEC and the Department of Justice in connection with this matter.

The Company and its subsidiaries are, from time to time, parties to other lawsuits arising out of operations. Although there can be no assurance, based upon information known to the Company, the Company believes that any liability resulting from an adverse determination of such lawsuits would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended June 30, 2007, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future operating results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, or operating results.

Item 5. Other Information

On November 6, 2007, the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of ScanSource, Inc. (the “Company”) approved, and the Board of Directors and Compensation Committee of the Board acknowledged and accepted, certain remedial actions with respect to certain current and former executive officers and directors of the Company (the “Remedial Actions”) resulting from the investigation recently undertaken by the Special Committee and subsequent accounting analysis based on the Special Committee’s findings with respect to the Company’s stock option grant practices.

The Remedial Actions reflect the voluntary offer of appropriate remediation of financial benefits received by such individuals from the options-related issues identified by the Special Committee’s investigation and consist of the following:

Mr. Michael L. Baur and Mr. Steven H. Owings each offered, with respect to options for which the Company had adjusted the measurement date as a result of the Special Committee’s findings and subsequent accounting analysis:

(a) for each option which they have already exercised, to pay to the Company, before the end of the Company’s current fiscal year, (1) an amount equal to the difference between the exercise price paid upon the exercise of the option and the market price of the shares on the new measurement date ($202,805.59 for Mr. Baur and $260,167.09 for Mr. Owings) and (2) all amounts to be paid by the Company to the Internal Revenue Service, including penalties and interest, with respect to amounts required to be withheld because certain options previously treated as incentive stock options will be treated as non-qualified options (estimated as of November 1, 2007 to be $238,225.90 for Mr. Baur and $131,458.93 for Mr. Owings), as such amounts may be finally determined by the Company, and

(b) for options they have not yet exercised, to increase the exercise price of each option to the market price of the shares on the new measurement date, such amounts and prices having been previously determined by the Company.

Mr. Jeffery A. Bryson offered, with respect to options which he had exercised and for which the Company had adjusted the measurement date, to pay to the Company an amount equal to the difference between the exercise price paid upon the exercise of the option and the market price of the shares on the new measurement date, such amount being $273,966.12, as previously determined by the Company.

Mr. Steven R. Fischer and Mr. James G. Foody offered, with respect to each option they had exercised and for which the Company had adjusted the measurement date, to pay to the Company, before the end of the current fiscal quarter, an amount equal to the difference between the exercise price paid upon the exercise of the option and the market price of the shares on the new measurement date ($6,850.00 for each of Mr. Fischer and Mr. Foody).

The Special Committee determined, with respect to Mr. Robert S. McLain and Mr. Richard P. Cleys, that these officers will not be required to make any payments to the Company with respect to options that they have exercised. The Board and the Compensation Committee also determined with respect to Mr. McLain and Mr. Cleys, consistent with the Special Committee’s recommendation, to (i) increase the exercise prices of each of their respective options granted in calendar years 2003-2006 to the closing market price for the Common Stock on the date determined to be the date of grant of such options, (ii) provide each of them a cash bonus in 2008 in an amount calculated to equal the aggregate difference in the original exercise prices for the such options and their adjusted exercise prices, and (iii) pay to each of them additional amounts to make them whole with respect to any penalty incurred by them under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, with respect to such options (including in future periods), and directs the officers of the Company to execute and deliver all such documents as they determine to be necessary or appropriate to effect such actions (and in the case of (ii) above, an additional gross up for Medicare tax obligations arising from such payment, and (iii) above, additional “gross up” amounts that will be paid to reimburse each of them for federal and state income and Medicare tax obligations arising from such payments).

Also, on November 6, 2007, the Board and Compensation Committee approved, and the Company entered into, agreements with Mr. Scott Benbenek and Ms. Andrea Meade to increase the exercise prices of each of their outstanding stock options determined in connection with the foregoing Special Committee investigation to be discounted options for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As adjusted, the exercise price for each such option will be the closing market price for the Common Stock on the date determined to be the date of grant. Also in connection with such repricing, each of Mr. Benbenek and Ms. Meade will receive, respectively, a cash bonus in 2008 in an amount calculated to equal the aggregate difference in the originally stated exercise prices for such options and their adjusted exercise prices plus an amount for Medicare ($63,771.47 for Mr. Benbenek and $38,043.75 for Ms. Meade) (and an additional “gross up” amount to reimburse each of them for Medicare tax obligations arising from such payment). Neither Mr. Benbenek nor Ms. Meade was an executive officer at the time of grant of any such options.
