The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. The most significant estimates included in the financial statements pertain to revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, and the valuation of long term assets including goodwill, capitalized patent costs, capitalized software development costs and deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash at certain financial institutions in amounts that at times, exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. Cash held in foreign bank accounts at May 31, 2013 totaled approximately $206,000. The Company does not believe it is exposed to significant credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents.

The Company believes that the loss of one or more of our largest customers could have a material adverse effect on the business. During fiscal years 2013 and 2012, no customer exceeded ten percent of revenue. The Company generally does not require collateral on credit sales. Management evaluates the creditworthiness of customers prior to delivery of products and services and provides allowances at levels estimated to be adequate to cover any potentially uncollectible accounts. Bad debts are written off against the allowance when identified. The changes in the accounts receivable reserve are as follows (in thousands):


				Charged
		Balance,		to Costs				Balance,
For the Years		Beginning		and		Bad Debt		End of
Ended May 31,		of Period		Expenses		Write-offs		Period

2012	$	29	$	-	$	-	$	29

2013	$	29	$	-	$	-	$	29

Property and equipment is stated at cost. The Company provides for depreciation on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:

Depreciation expense, including amortization of assets under capital lease, was approximately $35,000 and $31,000, for fiscal years 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; betterments are capitalized. At the time property and equipment are retired, sold, or otherwise disposed of, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts. Any resulting gain or loss on disposal is credited or charged to income.

The Company accounts for its software development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 985, Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased or Marketed. Costs that are incurred internally in researching and developing a computer software product are charged to expense until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Once technological feasibility is established, software development costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. Such costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the product, generally three years. The Company evaluates the realizability of the assets and the related periods of amortization on a regular basis. Judgment is required in determining when technological feasibility of a product is established as well as its economic life.

During fiscal years 2013 and 2012, the Company capitalized approximately $276,000 and $184,000, respectively, of software development costs. Amortization expense related to capitalized software development costs for fiscal years 2013 and 2012 was approximately $73,000 and $11,000, respectively.

The Company capitalizes the direct costs associated with entering into debt agreements and amortizes those costs over the life of the debt agreement. On May 10, 2013, the Company refinanced its then existing debt agreements and entered into a new debt agreement as described in Note F. Total direct costs incurred in establishing this debt agreement were approximately $255,000. These costs have been capitalized and are being amortized over the three year life of the loan. Unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Company’s previous debt agreement as of May 10, 2013 totaled approximately $108,000 and were expensed during fiscal 2013. Amortization expense related to debt issuance costs for fiscal years 2013 and 2012 were approximately $225,000 and $114,000, respectively.

The provision for income taxes is based on the earnings or losses reported in the consolidated financial statements. The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities, based on technical merits of the tax position. The evaluation of an uncertain tax position is based on factors that include, but are not limited to, changes in the tax law, the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns, the effective settlement of matters subject to audit, and changes in facts or circumstances related to a tax position. Any changes to these estimates, based on the actual results obtained and/or a change in assumptions, could impact the Company’s tax provision in future periods. The Company accounts for interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of its provision for federal and state income taxes. In accordance with the applicable statute of limitations, the Company’s tax returns could be audited by the Internal Revenue Service and various states for the fiscal years ended 2010 to 2012.

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 985, Software, for transactions involving the licensing of software and software support services. Revenue from software license sales is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the product has been made, and a fixed fee and collectability has been determined. The Company does not provide for a right of return. For multiple element arrangements, total fees are allocated to each of the undelivered elements based upon vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of their fair values, with the residual amount recognized as revenue for the delivered elements, using the residual method set forth in ASC 985. Revenue from customer maintenance support agreements is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the agreements, typically one year. Revenue from engineering, consulting and training services is recognized as those services are rendered using a proportional performance model.

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 605, Revenue Recognition for transactions that do not involve the licensing of software or software support services as in the case of the recent sale of its patents. Revenue from the sale of patents is recorded when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has taken place and a fixed fee and collectability has been determined. These conditions are no different from those when the Company licenses software. For multiple element arrangements, however, under ASC 605, total fees are allocated to each of the elements based upon the relative selling price method. Under that method the allocation of fees to the undelivered elements is based on VSOE, or if it doesn’t exist, then based on third party evidence of selling price. If neither exists, then the allocation is based on management’s best estimate of the selling price.

Costs related to patent applications are capitalized as incurred and are amortized once the patent application is accepted or are expensed if the application is finally rejected. Patent costs are amortized over their estimated economic lives under the straight-line method, and are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the use of the associated patent. Capitalized patent costs totaled approximately $19,000 and $82,000 for the years ending May 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company accounts for goodwill pursuant to ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. This requires that goodwill be reviewed annually, or more frequently as a result of an event or change in circumstances, for possible impairment with impaired assets written down to fair value. Additionally, existing goodwill and intangible assets must be assessed and classified within the statement’s criteria.

As of May 31, 2013, the Company conducted its annual impairment test of goodwill by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying amount of the underlying assets and liabilities of its single reporting unit. The Company determined that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, therefore no impairment existed as of the testing date.

The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of all intangible and other long-lived assets. If indicators of impairment exist, the Company compares the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets over their estimated economic life to the related carrying value of those assets to determine if the assets are impaired. If the carrying value of the asset is greater than the estimated undiscounted cash flows, the carrying value of the assets would be decreased to their fair value through a charge to operations. As of May 31, 2013, the Company does not have any long-lived assets it considers to be impaired.

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, notes payable. The Company’s estimate of the fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying amounts at May 31, 2013. The Company sells its products to a wide variety of customers in numerous industries. A large portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from customers with which the Company has an existing relationship and established credit history. For new customers for whom the Company does not have an established credit history, the Company performs evaluations of the customer’s credit worthiness prior to accepting an order. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support customer receivables. The Company’s allowance for uncollectible accounts was approximately $29,000 at May 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The functional currency of the Company’s foreign operations (Germany, and Italy) is the Euro. As a result, assets and liabilities are translated at period-end exchange rates and revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from translation of such financial statements are classified in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Foreign currency gains and losses arising from transactions were included in operations in fiscal year 2013 and 2012. In fiscal year 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded a net (gain) loss from foreign currency related transactions of approximately $(7,000) and $37,000, respectively, to Other (income) expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Comprehensive income is a more inclusive reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. To date, the Company’s comprehensive income items include only foreign translation adjustments. Comprehensive income has been included in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity and Comprehensive Income for all periods.

Basic and diluted net income per share are computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common and equivalent dilutive common shares outstanding. For periods in which losses are reported potentially dilutive common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because the effect is anti-dilutive.

The following table details the derivation of weighted average shares outstanding used in the calculation of basic and diluted net income for each period:


		Years Ended
		May 31, 2013		May 31, 2012
		(Amounts in thousands, except share amounts)

Net income available to common shareholders	$	360	$	444

Weighted average number of common shares outstanding used in calculating basic earnings per share		1,018,709		995,135
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding used in calculating diluted earnings per share		1,019,812		995,135

For the fiscal year ending May 31, 2013, 10,000 options to purchase common shares were anti-dilutive and were excluded from the above calculation.

Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company estimated the fair value of each share-based award using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model incorporates assumptions as to stock price volatility, the expected life of options, a risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.

The Company’s 1994 Stock Option Plan provided for the granting of stock options at an exercise price not less than fair market value of the stock on the date of the grant and with vesting schedules as determined by the Board of Directors. No new options could be granted under the Plan after fiscal year 2004 and all stock options had vested prior to May 31, 2009. During fiscal 2012, all options awarded under the 1994 Stock Option Plan expired unexercised. In May 2011, the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) was approved by the Company’s shareholders, pursuant to which 150,000 shares of our common shares are reserved for issuance. Additionally, any shares subject to any award under the 2011 Plan that expires, is terminated unexercised or is forfeited will be available for awards under the 2011 Plan. The Company may grant stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock equivalents and awards of shares of common stock that are not subject to restrictions or forfeiture under the 2011 Plan. As of May 31, 2013, 10,000 options were awarded under the 2011 Plan.

The following table summarizes option activity under the 1994 and the 2011 Stock Option Plan:


			Weighted	Weighted-
			Average	Average
	Number of		Exercise Price	Remaining		Aggregate
	Options		Per Share	Life (in years)		Intrinsic Value

The Company determined the volatility for options granted during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012 using the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected life of options has been determined utilizing the “simplified” method as prescribed in ASC 718 Compensation, Stock Compensation. The expected life represents an estimate of the time options are expected to remain outstanding. The risk-free interest rate is based on a treasury instrument whose term is consistent with the expected life of the stock options. The Company has not paid, and does not anticipate paying, cash dividends on its common stock; therefore, the expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero.

For both years ended May 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company expensed approximately $8,000 of stock-based compensation. The Company had approximately $8,000 of unrecorded stock based compensation as of May 31, 2013 which will be recognized over the next 1.25 years. The weighted-average fair value of each option granted in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012 is estimated as $2.35 on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted average assumptions:

During the year ending May 31, 2013, the Company issued 50,000 shares of common stock, $.10 par value (the “Common Stock”) at a purchase price of $5.00 per share to accredited investors (collectively, the “Investors”) in separate private placement transactions for total proceeds of $250,000. These transactions were completed pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) which the Company entered into with each of the respective Investors. In lieu of registration rights, each $25,000 investment entitles the Investors to a fee of $6,000 (the “Fee”) to be paid in six equal quarterly installments during the eighteen month period (the “Payment Period”) following the investment. The Agreement also provides the Investors with the right to require the Company to redeem the Common Stock held by such Investors (the “Put Option”) for $5.50 per share in cash for a 30 day period following the Payment Period.

The Company first assessed the redeemable Common Stock to determine if the instrument should be accounted for as a liability in accordance with ASC 480. In that the Put Option is optionally redeemable by the holder, the Common Stock was not required to be accounted for as a liability. Next, the Company assessed the Put Option within the redeemable Common Stock as a potential embedded derivative pursuant to the provisions of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and concluded that the Put Option did not meet the net settlement criteria within the definition of a derivative. Therefore, the Company has accounted for the Common Stock issued pursuant to the Agreement in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities, which provides that securities that are optionally redeemable by the holder for cash or other assets are classified outside of permanent equity in temporary equity. The 50,000 shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Agreement were recorded as redeemable common stock at an initial carrying value of $163,000. This amount is equal to the gross proceeds of $250,000, less $27,000 in issuance costs related to legal fees and the $60,000 Fee, which has been included in other liabilities. The Company elected to record the Common Stock at its redemption value of $275,000 immediately and accordingly recorded accretion of $112,000 to additional paid in capital during fiscal year 2013.

There were no recently issued accounting pronouncements applicable to the Company that have not been adopted as of May 31, 2013.
