Analysts International Corporation

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

1.  Organization and Nature of Business

 

Analysts International Corporation (“AIC,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is an information technology (IT) services company. We employ approximately 800 professionals and are focused on serving the information technology needs of mid-market to Fortune 500 companies and government agencies across North America. AIC was incorporated in Minnesota in 1966 and our corporate headquarters is located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. For a more complete description of our Company, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010.

 

We operate on a fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. Accordingly, fiscal 2010 will end on Saturday, January 1, 2011. The first quarter of fiscal 2010 ended on April 3, 2010 and the first quarter of fiscal 2009 ended on April 4, 2009.

 

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of AIC have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and in accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. As permitted under these rules, certain footnotes and other financial information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) can be condensed or omitted. The Consolidated Financial Statements included in this document reflect, in the opinion of our management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, except as noted elsewhere in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) necessary for fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented. The following notes should be read in conjunction with the accounting policies and other disclosures in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements incorporated by reference in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010. Revenues, expenses, cash flows, assets and liabilities can and do vary during the year. Therefore, interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

 

Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

3.  Fair Value Measurement

 

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures provides a fair value hierarchy which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). A financial instrument’s level within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 1 are highly liquid and actively traded instruments with quoted market prices.

 

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The type of assets and liabilities included in Level 2 are typically either comparable to actively traded securities or contracts or priced with models using observable inputs.

 

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. The type of assets and liabilities included in Level 3 are those with inputs requiring significant management judgment or estimation.

 

Short-term cash investments in money market accounts are considered to be cash equivalents. The estimated fair values for cash equivalents approximate their carrying values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Cash equivalents are classified as Level 1 and are recorded in our cash and cash equivalents line on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

4.   Sale of Assets

 

Sale of Customer Contracts

 

On March 3, 2010, AIC sold certain customer contracts, property and equipment and sublet a facility lease. In consideration for the assets sold and the liabilities transferred, the Company received $0.2 million in cash. The Company recorded a loss on the sale of approximately $50,000 which is included within Selling, administrative and other operating costs (“SG&A”) in our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, no intangible assets were acquired. In the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we recorded amortization expense of $0.2 million related to our intangible assets and disposed of a customer list and a trade name that were fully amortized.

 

6.  Financing Agreement

 

Revolving Credit Facility

 

On September 30, 2009, AIC entered into a revolving line of credit (the “Credit Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) pursuant to which Wells Fargo will advance up to $15.0 million to AIC for working capital purposes and to facilitate the issuance of letters of credit.  The total amount available for borrowing under the Credit Facility will fluctuate based on the Company’s level of eligible accounts receivable.

 

The Credit Facility carries an interest rate equal to the three-month LIBOR rate plus 3.5%.  The Credit Facility has an unused line fee of 0.50% annually on the daily average unused amount.  The maturity date of the Credit Facility is September 30, 2012. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by all of the Company’s assets.

 

The Credit Facility requires the Company to meet certain levels of year-to-date earnings/loss before taxes. The Credit Facility limits the Company’s annual capital expenditures to $2.0 million and requires the Company to maintain an excess borrowing base of at least $5.0 million. The Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and upon an event of default Wells Fargo may terminate the facility or declare the entire amount outstanding under the Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable and exercise other rights under the agreement.

 

As of April 3, 2010, we were in compliance with all the requirements and had no borrowing under the Credit Facility. Total availability of the Credit Facility, which fluctuates based on our level of eligible accounts receivable, was $9.2 million as of April 3, 2010.

 

7.   Restructuring Costs and Other Severance Related Costs

 

A summary of the restructuring charges and subsequent activity in the restructuring accrual for the three months ended April 3, 2010 is as follows:

8. Reverse Stock Split

 

On February 11, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a 1-for-5 reverse stock split (“Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s common shares to all holders of record, effective February 26, 2010. AIC’s Board of Directors has authorized an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split and on February 26, 2010 the total authorized number of shares was reduced to 24,000,000 common shares with a par value of ten cents ($0.10) per share. All fractional shares were rounded down and any shareholder that would be entitled to receive a fractional share will be paid the fair market value of the fractional share in cash.

 

The Company has retroactively adjusted all share and per share data to reflect the Common stock and Additional  capital line in its Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 2, 2010 and the weighted-average shares outstanding in its Consolidated Statements of Operations and related disclosures for the periods presented to reflect the effect of the Reverse Stock Split.

 

On February 27, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Company’s existing Shareholder Rights Plan (the “Amended Rights Plan”) which, among other things, extended the final expiration date on which Common Share Purchase Rights (“Rights”) under the Amended Rights Plan are exercisable (until February 27, 2018).  As amended, each Right entitled the registered holder to purchase from the Company one common share of the Company at a price of $15 per common share (the “Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment.  On February 26, 2010, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to effect a Reverse Stock Split which also resulted in proportionate adjustments under the Amended Rights Plan in (a) the number of shares issuable under the Amended Rights Plan and (b) the Purchase Price.

10. Equity Compensation Plans

 

Total equity-based compensation expense for the first quarters of fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009 was approximately $(0.1) million and $0.1 million, respectively, and includes compensation expense related to both stock options and stock awards. The reduction in deferred tax benefit recorded for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was $10,000 and the tax benefit recorded for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was $7,000. The tax benefit is offset against our valuation allowance for our deferred tax asset.

 

No stock options were exercised during the periods ended April 3, 2010 and April 4, 2009. As of April 3, 2010, there was approximately $0.4 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested option awards that are expected to vest over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years.

 

We granted equity compensation awards as follows:

11.  Loss Per Share

 

Basic and diluted loss per share is presented in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic loss per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Options to purchase approximately 623,044 and 470,200 shares of common stock were outstanding at April 3, 2010 and April 4, 2009, respectively.  All options were considered anti-dilutive and excluded from the computation of common equivalent shares at April 3, 2010 and April 4, 2009, because we reported a net loss.  The computation of basic and diluted loss per share for the three months ended April 3, 2010 and April 4, 2009, is as follows:

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

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated due to various factors discussed under “Forward-Looking Statements” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the “Risk Factors” described in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-k for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010.

 

A.            Our Business

 

Analysts International Corporation (“AIC,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is an information technology (IT) services company. We employ approximately 800 professionals and are focused on serving the information technology needs of mid-market to Fortune 500 companies and government agencies across North America. AIC was incorporated in Minnesota in 1966 and our corporate headquarters is located in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

 

B.            Business Environment

 

We expected our 2010 first quarter operating results to improve from the 2009 fourth quarter and 2009 first quarter due to the specific actions taken by AIC and the recent improvement in the United States economy. We are cautiously optimistic that the United States economy will improve for the benefit of our customers and our operating performance.  However, if we are unsuccessful in executing on our initiatives to achieve our 2010 objectives or the United States economy does not improve or expand, we would expect to incur additional losses from operations and reductions in our cash flows and liquidity.

 

C.            Fiscal 2010 Strategic Plan

 

Our primary goal for fiscal 2010 is to achieve profitability and return value to our shareholders. In order to achieve that goal, our fiscal 2010 strategy emphasizes growing our IT staffing business, improving the productivity of our sales and recruiting personnel, and controlling costs.

 

Our 2010 objectives are as follows:

 

·                  Become a profitable company

During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, we generated a net loss of $1.2 million which is an improvement of $2.0 million and $1.1 million over the fourth and the first quarters of fiscal 2009, respectively. Our success in reaching profitability in the second half of fiscal 2010 is dependent on our ability to achieve growth in our revenues, further improvements in our gross margin percentage and further reductions in our selling, administrative and other costs.

 

·                  Increase revenue

Our first quarter of fiscal 2010 revenues increased $1.8 million, or 6.9%, over the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. There were 65 billing days in the first quarter of fiscals 2010 and 2009 and 61 billing days in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. While we believe there is an overall increased demand for IT professionals in the United States marketplace, our ability to participate in the economic recovery is dependent on the effectiveness and productivity of our sales and recruiting personnel. We continue to invest in our sales and recruiting portion of our business through additional tools to enhance productivity, lead generation actions and increased focus on our existing customer base.

 

·                  End fiscal 2010 with 1,000 billable consultants

We ended the first quarter of fiscal 2010 with 798 billable consultants.  We expect the number of billable consultants to increase during fiscal 2010 as we expand our opportunities within existing customers and as the number of new customers increase.

 

·                  Achieve industry standard gross margin rates

Our first quarter of fiscal 2010 gross margin percentage was 21.1%, which was consistent with our 2009 fourth quarter gross margin percentage and 100 basis points greater than our 2009 first quarter gross margin percentage. Depending on the mix of clients served, we believe further improvements to our gross margin percentage can be achieved through disciplined placement of our consultants.

 

·                  Build cash to invest in our strategy

We ended the first quarter of fiscal 2010 with approximately $3.8 million in cash and cash equivalents. We expect to use our available cash and cash equivalents to fund our expected growth in revenues and our strategic initiatives.

D.            Business Developments

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

On February 11, 2010, AIC’s Board of Directors declared a 1-for-5 reverse stock split (“Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s common shares to all holders of record effective February 26, 2010. AIC’s Board of Directors has authorized an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split and on February 26, 2010 the total authorized number of shares was reduced to 24,000,000 common shares with a par value of ten cents ($0.10) per share. All fractional shares were rounded down and any shareholder that would be entitled to receive a fractional share will be paid the fair market value of the fractional share in cash.

 

The Company has retroactively adjusted all share and per share data to reflect the Common stock and Additional  capital line in its Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 2, 2010 and the weighted-average shares outstanding in its Consolidated Statements of Operations and related disclosures for the periods presented to reflect the effect of the Reverse Stock Split.

 

On February 27, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Company’s existing Shareholder Rights Plan (the “Amended Rights Plan”) which, among other things, extended the final expiration date on which Common Share Purchase Rights (“Rights”) under the Amended Rights Plan are exercisable (until February 27, 2018).  As amended, each Right entitled the registered holder to purchase from the Company one common share of the Company at a price of $15 per common share (the “Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment.  On February 26, 2010, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to effect a Reverse Stock Split which also resulted in proportionate adjustments under the Amended Rights Plan in (a) the number of shares issuable under the Amended Rights Plan and (b) the Purchase Price.

 

Sale of Customer Contracts

 

On March 3, 2010, AIC sold certain customer contracts, property and equipment and sublet a facility lease. In consideration for the assets sold and the liabilities transferred, the Company received $0.2 million in cash. The Company recorded a loss on the sale of approximately $50,000 which is included within Selling, administrative and other operating costs (“SG&A”) in our Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the preceding 12 months before the sale date, the customer contracts generated revenues of approximately $3.2 million and had an unfavorable contribution margin of approximately $0.7 million.

 

E.            Overview of First Quarter Fiscal 2010 Operations

 

Our revenues decreased $16.7 million, or 37%, from the first quarter of fiscal 2009 primarily due to our planned exit from non-core and low-margin lines of business (22%) and from less demand for our IT professional services (15%).

 

Gross margins as a percent of revenue increased due to our focus on higher margin business and the impact of exiting lower margin lines of business and accounts in fiscal 2009.

 

SG&A expenses declined $4.1 million in first quarter 2010 over the prior year quarter due largely to the exit from the value added reseller (“VAR”) operations, the impact of the personnel and facility reductions and the overall reduction in business volume.

 

We used cash from operations of $0.1 million and generated cash from investing activities of $0.1 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2010. As of April 4, 2010, we had a cash balance of $3.8 million and no borrowings under our revolving line of credit.

Revenue

 

Revenue from services provided directly declined 31.3% from the comparable period a year ago. The decline in revenue was primarily due to a reduction in the number of billable hours and technical consultants as a result of lower business volumes which was partially offset by a 3.3% increase in overall billing rates over the prior year period. Our subsupplier revenue, which is mainly pass-through revenue with associated fees, declined by 52.9% over the prior year period as a result of our focusing on higher margin business. We had no product sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 as a result of the sale of our VAR operations in the third quarter of fiscal 2009.

 

Cost of Services Provided Directly

 

Cost of services provided directly represents our payroll and benefit costs associated with our billable consultants. This category of expense as a percentage of direct services revenue decreased to 78.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to 79.1% in the prior comparable period. The decrease in expense as a percentage of direct services revenue is primarily due to the reduction in volume at lower margin staffing accounts.

 

Cost of Services Provided Through Subsuppliers

 

Cost of services provided through subsuppliers represents our cost when we utilize third parties to fulfill our obligations to our large staffing clients.  This category of expense as a percentage of revenue for services provided through subsuppliers was 93.9% for first quarter in fiscal 2010 compared to 95.2% for the prior year comparable period.

 

Cost of Product Sales

 

Cost of product sales represents our cost when we resold hardware and software products.  This category of expense, as a percentage of product sales, was 85.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. With the sale of our VAR operations in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we no longer resell hardware and software products.

 

12



 

Selling, Administrative and Other Operating Costs

 

SG&A costs include management and administrative salaries, commissions paid to sales representatives and recruiters, location costs, and other administrative costs.  This category of costs decreased approximately $4.1 million from the comparable period in 2009 and represented 24.5% of total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to 24.4% in fiscal 2009. SG&A expenses decreased primarily due to the impact of personnel reductions that occurred in the prior year as a result of the asset sales and implementation of non-personnel cost reductions.

 

Restructuring Costs and Other Severance Related Costs

 

During the first quarters of fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009, we recorded restructuring and severance related expenses totaling $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, all of which related to workforce reductions and severance.

 

Amortization of Intangible Assets

 

This category of expense decreased during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 from the prior year due to the sale of all our remaining customer lists in third quarter of fiscal 2009. In the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we disposed of a customer list and a trade name that were fully amortized.

 

Non-operating Income

 

Non-operating income decreased slightly in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2009 as a result of less interest income earned on our cash balances and lower interest income related to customer financed equipment.

 

Interest Expense

 

We had no borrowing outstanding in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. In the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we had average borrowing outstanding under our credit facility of $0.1 million at an average rate of 3.25%.

 

Income Taxes

 

For both the first quarters of fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009, we recorded accruals for amounts due for certain state income taxes and changes in our reserves for tax obligations. We recorded no additional income tax expense associated with our net operating losses because any tax expense that would otherwise have been recorded has been negated by adjusting the valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset.  If, however, we successfully return to profitability to a point where future realization of deferred tax assets, which are currently reserved, becomes “more likely than not,” we may be required to reverse the existing valuation allowance to realize the benefit of these assets.

 

Personnel

 

Our technical consulting staff levels finished the first quarter of fiscal 2010 at 798, a 32.0% decline against the comparable period last year.  The decline in technical consulting staff levels is primarily due to an overall decline in business volume and sale of operations. The decline in management and administrative personnel is due to our focus on reducing the number of management and administrative personnel that are necessary to support the existing business operations. The reported technical consulting staff levels for fiscal 2009 exclude Medical Concepts Staffing, our medical staffing business that we sold in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, due to the separate industry focus of that business.

 

Certain Information Concerning Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of April 3, 2010, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. We are, therefore, not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in these relationships.

Change in Working Capital

 

Working capital was $13.9 million at April 3, 2010, down approximately $1.1 million from January 2, 2010. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities decreased 4.2% to 2.04 at April 3, 2010 compared to 2.13 at January 2, 2010.

 

Our total current assets decreased approximately $1.1 million at April 3, 2010 compared to the end of fiscal 2009 as a result of lower accounts receivable and other current assets. Our accounts receivable decreased 3.8% as a result of improved collection experience which lowered our day’s sales outstanding from 78 at the end of fiscal 2009 to 71 at April 3, 2010.

 

Our total current liabilities increased slightly by approximately $0.1 million at April 3, 2010 compared to the end of fiscal 2009. The timing of our payroll periods from our fiscal year end to the first quarter of fiscal 2010 caused our salaries and benefits payable balance to increase approximately $1.3 million which was partially offset by our lower accounts payable balance.

 

 We believe our existing working capital and availability under our revolving line of credit (the “Credit Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) will be sufficient to support the cash flow needs of our business in fiscal 2010. Continuing operating losses, an increase in bad debt experience from our clients, a lengthening of payment terms from our clients, or significant costs associated with additional restructuring activities could create a need for additional working capital. An inability to obtain additional working capital, should it be required, could have a material adverse effect on our business. We expect to be able to comply with the requirements of our credit agreement; however, failure to do so could affect our ability to obtain necessary working capital and could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Sources and Uses of Cash/Credit Facility

 

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $0.1 million from January 2, 2010 to April 3, 2010. Our primary need for working capital is to support accounts receivable and to fund the time lag between payroll and vendor disbursements and receipt of fees billed to clients. Historically, we have been able to support internal growth in our business with internally generated funds and through the use of our credit facility.

 

The Credit Facility will advance up to $15.0 million to us for working capital purposes and to facilitate the issuance of letters of credit. The total amount available for borrowing under the Credit Facility will fluctuate based on our level of eligible accounts receivable.

 

The Credit Facility carries an interest rate equal to the three-month LIBOR rate plus 3.5%. The Credit Facility has an unused line fee of 0.50% annually on the daily average unused amount. The maturity date of the Credit Facility is September 30, 2012 and may be terminated or reduced by us on 90 days notice in exchange for a termination fee of 2% of the maximum line amount or

 

14



 

reduction of the maximum line amount in the first year or 1% of such amounts in the second year and no fee in the third year. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by all of our assets.

 

The Credit Facility requires us to meet certain levels of year-to-date earnings/loss before taxes. Additionally, the Credit Facility limits our annual capital expenditures to $2.0 million and requires us to maintain an excess borrowing base of at least $5.0 million. The Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and upon an event of default Wells Fargo may terminate the facility or declare the entire amount outstanding under the Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable and exercise other rights under the agreement.

 

As of April 3, 2010, we were in compliance with all the requirements and had no borrowing under the Credit Facility. Total availability under the Credit Facility, which fluctuates based on our level of eligible accounts receivable, was $9.2 million as of April 3, 2010.

 

On March 3, 2010, we closed on an asset sale agreement for certain customer contracts. In consideration for the assets sold and the liabilities transferred, we received $0.2 million in cash.

 

During each of the first quarters of fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009, we made capital expenditures of approximately $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
