TECH DATA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Business
Tech Data Corporation (Tech Data or the Company) is one of the worlds largest wholesale distributors of technology products. The Company serves as a strategic link in the technology supply chain by bringing products from the worlds leading technology vendors to market, as well as providing customers with advanced logistics capabilities and value added services. Tech Datas customers include value added resellers, direct marketers, retailers and corporate resellers who support the diverse technology needs of end users. The Company is managed in two geographic segments: the Americas (including North America and South America) and Europe.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tech Data and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Noncontrolling interest is recognized for the portion of a consolidated joint venture not owned by the Company. The Company operates on a fiscal year that ends on January 31.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S.GAAP). These principles require 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of July 31, 2011 and its results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010.
Seasonality
The Companys quarterly operating results have fluctuated significantly in the past and will likely continue to do so in the future as a result of currency fluctuations and seasonal variations in the demand for the products and services offered. Narrow operating margins may magnify the impact of these factors on our operating results. Recent historical seasonal variations have included an increase in European demand during the Companys fiscal fourth quarter and decreased demand in other fiscal quarters, particularly quarters that include summer months. Given that over one half of the Companys revenues are derived from Europe, the worldwide results closely follow the seasonality trends in Europe. Additionally, the life cycles of major products, as well as the impact of future acquisitions and dispositions, may also materially impact the Companys business, financial condition, or consolidated results of operations. Therefore, the results of operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the entire fiscal year ending January 31, 2012.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity (net assets) of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources, and is comprised of net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Comprehensive income (loss) attributable to the shareholders of the Company for the three and six months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:

(1) | There were no income tax effects related to the change in cumulative translation adjustments during either the three or six months ended July 31 2011 or 2010. |
6
Comprehensive income attributable to shareholders of the Company increased significantly during the six months ended July 31, 2011 as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year primarily as a result of the strengthening of most currencies in which the Company operates in comparison to the U.S. dollar during the period.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an accounting standard which modifies the two-step goodwill impairment testing process for entities that have a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform step two of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment exists. This accounting standard is effective for the Company beginning with the quarter ending April 30, 2011. The Company has adopted this standard for the quarter ended April 30, 2011, which had no impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In October 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard requiring an entity to allocate revenue arrangement consideration at the inception of a multiple-deliverable revenue arrangement to all of its deliverables based on their relative selling prices. This accounting standard is effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified by the Company beginning February 1, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this standard effective February 1, 2011, which did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In October 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard addressing how entities account for revenue arrangements that contain both hardware and software elements. Due to the significant difference in the level of evidence required for separation of multiple deliverables within different accounting standards, this particular accounting standard will modify the scope of accounting guidance for software revenue recognition. Many tangible products containing software and non-software components that function together to deliver the tangible products essential functionality will be accounted for under the revised multiple-element arrangement revenue recognition guidance discussed above. This accounting standard is effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified by the Company beginning February 1, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this standard effective February 1, 2011, which did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In May 2011, the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued a new accounting standard that amends the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. This accounting standard does not extend the use of fair value accounting, but provides guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within U.S. GAAP or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This accounting standard is effective for the Company beginning with the quarter ending April 30, 2012. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2011, the FASB issued a new accounting standard related to the presentation of comprehensive income. This standard requires presentation of comprehensive income in either a single statement of comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements. This standard does not change the definitions of the components of net income and other comprehensive income, when an item must be reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income, or earnings per share, which is calculated using net income. The standard further defines the approach for reporting tax impacts of comprehensive income and disclosure of amounts reclassified from comprehensive income to net income. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and must be applied retrospectively.

NOTE 2 EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS)
The Company reports a dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to shareholders of Tech Data Corporation by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution related to equity-based incentives (as further discussed in Note 5 Stock-Based Compensation) using the if-converted and treasury stock methods, where applicable. The computation of basic and diluted EPS is as follows:

At July 31, 2011 and 2010, there were 16,382 and 1,180,856 equity-based compensation awards, respectively, excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price was greater than the average market price, thereby resulting in an antidilutive effect.
In December 2006, the Company issued $350.0 million of convertible senior debentures due 2026. The dilutive impact of the $350.0 million convertible senior debentures does not impact earnings per share at either July 31, 2011 or 2010 as the conditions for the contingent conversion feature have not been met (see further discussion in Note 3 Debt).

Convertible Senior Debentures
In December 2006, the Company issued $350.0 million of convertible senior debentures due 2026. The debentures bear interest at 2.75% per year. The Company pays interest on the debentures on June 15 and December 15 of each year. In addition, beginning with the period commencing on December 20, 2011 and ending on June 15, 2012 and for each six-month period thereafter, the Company will pay contingent interest on the interest payment date for the applicable interest period if the market price of the debentures equals specified levels. The debentures are redeemable in whole or in part for cash at the Companys option at any time on or after December 20, 2011. The convertible senior debentures are convertible into the Companys common stock and cash, any time after June 15, 2026, or i) if the market price of the common stock, as defined, exceeds 135% of the conversion price per share of common stock or ii) if the Company calls the debentures for redemption or iii) upon occurrence of certain corporate transactions, as defined. Holders have the right to convert the debentures into cash and shares of the Companys common stock, if any, at a conversion rate of 18.4310 shares per $1,000 principal amount of debentures, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $54.26 per share. Upon conversion, the Company will deliver cash equal to the lesser of the aggregate principal amount of the debentures to be converted and the Companys total conversion obligation and shares of the Companys common stock in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Companys conversion obligation. Holders have the option to require the Company to repurchase the debentures in cash on any of the fifth, tenth or fifteenth anniversary dates from the issue date at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest to the repurchase date. As a result of this repurchase obligation, the Company has classified the convertible senior debentures as current debt on the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheet at both July 31, 2011 and January 31, 2011. The debentures are senior, unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Companys other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The debentures are effectively subordinated to all of the Companys existing and future secured debt and are structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of the Companys foreign subsidiaries.
In accordance with the accounting rules regarding the accounting treatment for convertible debt instruments requiring or permitting partial cash settlement upon conversion, the Company has accounted for the debt and equity components of the debentures in a manner that reflects the estimated non-convertible debt borrowing rate at the date of the issuance of the debentures at 6.30%. Under this accounting treatment, during the three and six months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company has recorded contractual interest expense of $2.4 million and $4.8 million, respectively, and non-cash interest expense of $2.5 million and $5.0 million, respectively, related to the $350 million convertible senior debentures. At July 31, 2011, the if-converted value of the convertible senior debentures did not exceed the principal balance and the $3.9 million unamortized debt discount has a remaining amortization period of approximately five months assuming redemption of the debentures at the first repurchase date in December 2011.
Loans Payable to Brightstar Corporation
In October 2010, Brightstar Corporation (Brightstar) entered into an agreement to loan Brightstar Europe Limited (BEL), a joint venture between the Company and Brightstar, its share of the funding requirements related to BELs acquisition of MCC (the Acquisition Loan). The Acquisition Loan from Brightstar, plus any accrued interest, has a repayment date of September 2015, or earlier if agreed between the two parties, and bears interest at the applicable LIBOR rate plus 4.0% per year, which is payable annually on October 1.
The Company also has an interest-free revolving credit loan from Brightstar that was issued in connection with the operations of BEL (the Brightstar Revolver). The terms of the Brightstar Revolver contain no contractual repayment date and allow for the revolving credit loan to increase or decrease in accordance with the working capital requirements of BEL, as determined by the Company. Effective October 2010, a resolution of BELs board was approved stating that the Brightstar Revolver will not be repaid for the foreseeable future and therefore the revolving credit loan is classified as long-term debt within the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheet at both July 31, 2011 and January 31, 2011.
Other Credit Facilities
The Company has an agreement (the Receivables Securitization Program) with a syndicate of banks that allows the Company to transfer an undivided interest in a designated pool of U.S. accounts receivable, on an ongoing basis, to provide security or collateral for borrowings up to a maximum of $300.0 million. Under this program, which was renewed in August 2011, the Company legally isolates certain U.S. trade receivables into a wholly-owned bankruptcy remote special purpose entity. Such receivables, which are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, totaled $636.6 million and $549.8 million at July 31, 2011 and January 31, 2011, respectively. As collections reduce accounts receivable balances included in the security or collateral pool, the Company may transfer interests in new receivables to bring the amount available to be borrowed up to the maximum. The Company pays interest on advances under the Receivables Securitization Program at the applicable commercial paper or LIBOR rate plus an agreed-upon margin. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of .35% per annum on the unused portion of the Receivables Securitization Program. There are no amounts outstanding under this program at either July 31, 2011 or January 31, 2011.
Under the terms of the Companys Multi-currency Revolving Credit Facility with a syndicate of banks, the Company is able to borrow funds in major foreign currencies up to a maximum of $250.0 million. Under this facility, which expires in March 2012, the Company has provided either a pledge of stock or a guarantee of certain of its significant subsidiaries. The Company pays interest on advances under this facility at the applicable LIBOR rate plus a margin based on the Companys credit ratings. The Company can fix the interest rate for periods of seven to 180 days under various interest rate options. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of .125% per annum on the unused portion of the Multi-currency Revolving Credit Facility. There are no amounts outstanding under this facility at either July 31, 2011 or January 31, 2011.
9
In addition to the facilities described above, the Company has various other committed and uncommitted lines of credit and overdraft facilities totaling approximately $604.0 million at July 31, 2011 to support its operations. Most of these facilities are provided on an unsecured, short-term basis and are reviewed periodically for renewal.
The total capacity of the other credit facilities discussed above, as well as the maximum borrowings under the facilities, was approximately $1.0 billion, of which $77.6 million was outstanding at July 31, 2011. The Companys credit facilities contain limitations on the amounts of annual dividends and repurchases of common stock. Additionally, the credit facilities require compliance with certain warranties and covenants. The financial ratio covenants contained within the credit facilities include a debt to capitalization ratio, an interest to EBITDA (as defined per the credit agreements) ratio and a tangible net worth requirement. At July 31, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants. The ability to draw funds under these credit facilities is dependent upon sufficient collateral (in the case of the Receivables Securitization Program) and meeting the aforementioned financial covenants, which may limit the Companys ability to draw the full amount of these facilities. At July 31, 2011, the Company had also issued standby letters of credit of $81.4 million. These letters of credit typically act as a guarantee of payment to certain third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions. The issuance of these letters of credit may reduce the Companys available capacity under the above-mentioned facilities by the same amount.
NOTE 4 INCOME TAXES
The Companys effective tax rate was 27.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 and 30.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. The Companys effective tax rate was 26.8% for the first semester of fiscal 2012 compared to 28.9% for the same period of the prior year. The decrease in the effective rate for the second quarter and first semester of fiscal 2012 compared to the same periods of the prior year is primarily the result of the relative mix of earnings and losses within the tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates.
The effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% during these periods primarily due to the relative mix of earnings or losses within the tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates such as: a) losses in tax jurisdictions where the Company is not able to record a tax benefit; b) earnings in tax jurisdictions where the Company has previously recorded a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets; and c) earnings in lower-tax jurisdictions for which no U.S. taxes have been provided because such earnings are planned to be reinvested indefinitely outside the United States.
The overall effective tax rate will continue to be dependent upon the geographic distribution of the Companys earnings or losses, changes in tax laws, or interpretations of these laws in these operating jurisdictions. The Company monitors the assumptions used in estimating the annual effective tax rate and makes adjustments, if required, throughout the year. If actual results differ from the assumptions used in estimating the Companys annual effective income tax rates, future income tax expense could be materially affected.
The Companys future effective tax rates could be affected by changes in the relative mix of taxable income and taxable loss jurisdictions, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets or liabilities or changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof. In addition, the Companys income tax returns are subject to continuous examination by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes from these examinations to determine the adequacy of the Companys provision for income taxes. To the extent the Company prevails in matters for which accruals have been established or is required to pay amounts in excess of such accruals, the effective tax rate could be materially affected.
NOTE 5 STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
For the six months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded $5.2 million and $5.1 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
At July 31, 2011, the Company had awards outstanding from four equity-based compensation plans, only one of which is currently active. The active plan was approved by the Companys shareholders in June 2009 and includes 4.0 million shares available for grant of which approximately 3.2 million shares remain available for future grant at July 31, 2011. Under the active plan, the Company is authorized to award officers, employees, and non-employee members of the Board of Directors restricted stock, options to purchase common stock, maximum value stock-settled stock appreciation rights (MV Stock-settled SARs), maximum value options (MVOs), and performance awards that are dependent upon achievement of specified performance goals. Equity-based compensation awards have a maximum term of 10 years, unless a shorter period is specified by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors or is required under local law. Awards under the plans are priced as determined by the Compensation Committee, and under the terms of the Companys active equity-based compensation plan, are required to be priced at, or above, the fair market value of the Companys common stock on the date of grant. Awards generally vest between one and four years from the date of grant.

The Companys policy is to utilize shares of its treasury stock, to the extent available, for the exercise or vesting of equity awards (see further discussion of the Companys share repurchase program in Note 6 - Shareholders Equity).
NOTE 6 SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY
In March 2011, the Companys Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $100.0 million of the Companys common stock and in June 2011, authorized a $100.0 million increase to the share repurchase program, resulting in a total share repurchase authorization of $200.0 million during the first semester of fiscal 2012. The Company completed the $200.0 million share repurchase program during the first semester of fiscal 2012. The Companys share repurchases were made on the open market through block trades or otherwise. The number of shares purchased and the timing of the purchases were based on working capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors, including alternative investment opportunities. Shares repurchased by the Company are held in treasury for general corporate purposes, including issuances under equity incentive and employee benefit plans.
The Companys common share repurchases and issuance activity for the six months ended July 31, 2011 is summarized as follows:

In August 2011, the Companys Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $100.0 million of the Companys common stock.
NOTE 7 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company carries its assets and liabilities at fair value and classifies and discloses its assets and liabilities in one of the following three categories: Level 1 quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2 inputs other than quoted market prices included in level 1 above that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and, Level 3 unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. A financial instruments level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The Companys foreign currency forward contracts are measured on a recurring basis based on foreign currency spot rates and forward rates quoted by banks or foreign currency dealers (level 2 criteria) and are marked-to-market each period with gains and losses on these contracts recorded in the Companys Consolidated Statement of Income on a basis consistent with the classification of the change in the fair value of the underlying transactions giving rise to these foreign currency exchange gains and losses in the period in which their value changes, with the offsetting amount for unsettled positions being included in either other current assets or other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The fair value of the Companys outstanding foreign currency forward contracts at July 31, 2011 and 2010 was an unrealized gain of $5.5 million and $4.7 million, respectively, and an unrealized loss of $13.6 million and $12.4 million, respectively (see further discussion below in Note 8 Derivative Instruments).
11
The Company utilizes life insurance policies to fund certain of the Companys nonqualified employee benefit plans. The investments contained within the life insurance policies are marked-to-market each period by analyzing the change in the underlying value of the invested assets (level 2 criteria) and the gains and losses are recorded in the Companys Consolidated Statement of Income. The related deferred compensation liability is also marked-to-market each period based upon the various investment return alternatives selected by the participants of the nonqualified employee benefit plans (level 2 criteria) and the gains and losses are recorded in the Companys Consolidated Statement of Income.
The $350.0 million of convertible senior debentures are carried at cost, less unamortized debt discount. The estimated fair value of the convertible senior debentures was approximately $358.3 million at July 31, 2011, based upon quoted market information (level 1 criteria).
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. The carrying amount of debt outstanding pursuant to revolving credit facilities and loans payable approximates fair value as the majority of these instruments have variable interest rates which approximate current market rates (level 2 criteria).
NOTE 8 DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates resulting from the Companys international transactions in Europe, Canada and Latin America, where the currency collected from customers can be different from the currency used to purchase the product. The Companys foreign currency risk management objective is to protect earnings and cash flows from the impact of exchange rate changes primarily through the use of foreign currency forward contracts to hedge both intercompany and third party loans, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. These derivatives are not designated as hedging instruments.
The Company employs established policies and procedures to manage the exposure to fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies. It is the Companys policy to utilize financial instruments to reduce risks where internal netting cannot be effectively employed. Additionally, the Company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
The Company considers inventory as an economic hedge against foreign currency exposure in accounts payable in certain circumstances. This practice offsets such inventory against corresponding accounts payable denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the subsidiary buying the inventory, when determining the net exposure to be hedged using traditional forward contracts. Under this strategy, the Company would expect to increase or decrease selling prices for product purchased in foreign currencies based on fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates affecting the underlying accounts payable. To the extent the Company incurs a foreign currency exchange loss (gain) on the underlying accounts payable denominated in the foreign currency, a corresponding increase (decrease) in gross profit would be expected as the related inventory is sold. This strategy can result in a certain degree of quarterly earnings volatility, as the underlying accounts payable is remeasured using the foreign currency exchange rate prevailing at the end of each period, or settlement date if earlier, whereas the corresponding increase (decrease) in gross profit may not be realized until the related inventory is sold.
The Company classifies foreign currency exchange gains and losses on its derivative instruments used to manage its exposures to foreign currency denominated accounts receivable and accounts payable as a component of cost of products sold which is consistent with the classification of the change in fair value upon remeasurement of the underlying hedged accounts receivable or accounts payable. The Company classifies foreign currency exchange gains and losses on its derivative instruments used to manage its exposures to foreign currency denominated financing transactions as a component of other (income) expense, net which is consistent with the classification of the change in fair value upon remeasurement of the underlying hedged loans. The total amount recognized in earnings on the Companys foreign currency forward contracts, of which the majority is included as a component of cost of products sold, was a net foreign currency exchange loss of $4.1 million and $2.7 million for the quarters ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and a net foreign currency exchange loss of $11.4 million and $3.7 million for the six months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The gains and losses on the Companys foreign currency forward contracts are largely offset by the change in the fair value of the underlying hedged assets or liabilities. The Companys foreign currency forward contracts are also discussed in Note 7 Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

NOTE 9 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Guarantees
As is customary in the IT industry, to encourage certain customers to purchase products from Tech Data, the Company has arrangements with certain finance companies that provide inventory financing facilities to the Companys customers. In conjunction with certain of these arrangements, the Company would be required to purchase certain inventory in the event the inventory is repossessed from the customers by the finance companies. As the Company does not have access to information regarding the amount of inventory purchased from the Company still on hand with the customer at any point in time, the Companys repurchase obligations relating to inventory cannot be reasonably estimated. Repurchases of inventory by the Company under these arrangements have been insignificant to date. The Company believes that, based on historical experience, the likelihood of a material loss pursuant to these inventory repurchase obligations is remote.
The Company provides additional financial guarantees to finance companies on behalf of certain customers. The majority of these guarantees are for an indefinite period of time, where the Company would be required to perform if the customer is in default with the finance company related to purchases made from the Company. The Company reviews the underlying credit for these guarantees on at least an annual basis. As of July 31, 2011 and January 31, 2011, the aggregate amount of guarantees under these arrangements totaled approximately $65.5 million and $62.1 million, respectively, of which approximately $40.6 million and $43.0 million, respectively, was outstanding. The Company believes that, based on historical experience, the likelihood of a material loss pursuant to the above guarantees is remote.
Contingencies
Prior to fiscal 2004, one of the Companys European subsidiaries was audited in relation to various value-added tax (VAT) matters. As a result of those audits, the subsidiary received notices of assessment that allege the subsidiary did not properly collect and remit VAT. It is managements opinion, based upon the opinion of outside legal counsel, that the Company has valid defenses related to a substantial portion of these assessments. Although the Company is vigorously pursuing administrative and judicial action to challenge the assessments, no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome. The resolution of such assessments will not be material to the Companys consolidated financial position; however, it could be material to the Companys operating results for any particular period, depending upon the level of income for such period.
In December 2010, in a non-unanimous decision, a Brazilian appellate court overturned a 2003 trial court which had previously ruled in favor of the Companys Brazilian subsidiary related to the imposition of certain taxes on payments abroad related to the licensing of commercial software products, commonly referred to as CIDE tax. The Company estimates the total exposure where the CIDE tax, including interest, may be considered due, to be approximately $35.1 million as of July 31, 2011. The Brazilian subsidiary has moved for clarification of the ruling and intends to appeal if the court does not rule in its favor. However, in order to pursue the next level of appeal, the Brazilian subsidiary may be required to make a deposit or to provide a guarantee to the courts for the payment of the CIDE tax pending the outcome of the appeal, which will be reflected in the Brazilian subsidiarys financial statements at such time. Based on the legal opinion of outside counsel, the Company believes that the chances of success on appeal of this matter are favorable and the Brazilian subsidiary intends to vigorously defend its position that the CIDE tax is not due. However, no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome of this matter. The resolution of this litigation will not be material to the Companys consolidated financial position or liquidity; however, it could be material to the Companys operating results for any particular period, depending on the level of income for such period.
In addition to the discussion regarding the CIDE tax above, the Companys Brazilian subsidiary has been undergoing several examinations of non-income related taxes. Due to the complex nature of the Brazilian tax system, the Company is unable to determine the likelihood of these examinations resulting in assessments. Such assessments cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, but could be material to the Companys consolidated results of operations for any particular period, depending on the level of income for such period. However, the Company believes such assessments, if they were to occur, would not have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial position or liquidity.
The Company is subject to various other legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Companys management does not expect that the outcome in any of these other legal proceedings, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

NOTE 10 SEGMENT INFORMATION
Tech Data operates predominately in a single industry segment as a distributor of technology products, logistics management, and other value-added services. While the Company operates primarily in one industry it is managed based on geographic segments: the Americas (including North America and South America) and Europe. The Company assesses performance of and makes decisions on how to allocate resources to its operating segments based on multiple factors including current and projected operating income and market opportunities. The Company does not consider stock-based compensation expense in assessing the performance of its operating segments, and therefore the Company reports stock-based compensation expense as a separate amount. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Financial information by geographic segment is as follows:

ITEM 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Forward-Looking Statements

Overview
Tech Data Corporation (Tech Data or the Company) is one of the worlds largest wholesale distributors of technology products. We serve as a strategic link in the technology supply chain by bringing products from the worlds leading technology vendors to market, as well as providing our customers with advanced logistics capabilities and value added services. Our customers include value added resellers (VARs) direct marketers, retailers and corporate resellers who support the diverse technology needs of end users. We manage our business in two geographic segments: the Americas (including North America and South America) and Europe.
The Companys financial objectives are to grow sales at or above the market rate of growth for technology products, gain share in select markets, improve profitability and generate return on invested capital above our weighted average cost of capital. To achieve this, we are focused on a strategy of execution, diversification and innovation that we believe differentiates our business in the marketplace.
15
The fundamental element of our strategy is superior execution. Our superior execution is focused on our ability to leverage our efficient cost structure combined with our multiple service offerings to generate demand, develop markets and provides supply chain efficiencies for our vendors and customers. The technology distribution industry in which we operate is characterized by narrow gross profit as a percentage of sales (gross margin) and narrow income from operations as a percentage of sales (operating margin). Historically, our gross and operating margins have been impacted by intense price competition and declining average selling prices per unit, as well as changes in terms and conditions with our vendors, including those terms related to rebates, price protection, product returns and other incentives. We expect these conditions to continue in the foreseeable future and, therefore, we will continue to proactively evaluate our pricing policies and inventory management practices in response to potential changes in our vendor terms and conditions and the general market environment. From a balance sheet perspective, we require working capital primarily to finance accounts receivable and inventory. We have historically relied upon debt, trade credit from our vendors, and accounts receivable financing programs for our working capital needs. At July 31, 2011, we had a debt to capital ratio (calculated as total debt divided by the aggregate of total debt and total equity) of 18%.
In addition to focusing on superior execution, we continue to diversify and realign our customer and vendor portfolios to help drive long-term profitability throughout our operations. Our broadline distribution business, comprised primarily of personal computer systems, peripheral products, supplies and other similar products, continues to be a significant percentage of our revenue. However, as technology has advanced, our business model and value-added offerings have evolved to ensure our vendors have an efficient distribution channel for their products and our customers have a broad array of solutions to sell. We have responded to these technology advances with investments in specialty areas focusing on the data center, mobility, consumer electronics and software, all of which are now contributing significantly to our financial results. We continue to invest in our integrated supply chain offerings designed to provide innovative third party logistics and other services to our business partners. Our evolving product, customer and geographic portfolios have played a key role in delivering balanced operating results and are important factors in achieving our long-term profitability goals. As we execute our diversification strategy we continuously monitor the extension of credit and other terms and conditions offered to our customers to prudently balance risk, profitability and return on invested capital.
In support of our diversification strategy, in April 2011, we executed an agreement with Brightstar Corporation to establish a U.S. joint venture to capitalize on the mobility market in small and medium size businesses (SMB). The joint venture will assist our reseller customers in providing SMB end users with wireless activation and renewal processes, along with a wide array of products and services including data services, software, hardware, technical support and billing management.
The final tenet of our strategy is innovation. Our IT systems and e-business tools and programs have provided our business with the flexibility to effectively navigate through changes in market conditions, structural changes in the technology industry and changes created by the technology we sell. One of our most recent innovations is our StreamOne Solutions Store. The StreamOne Solutions Store will provide independent software vendors and cloud providers with a platform to market software-as-a-service and other products to more than 60,000 value-added resellers in the United States, thereby opening up a previously unavailable route to market for these independent software vendors and cloud providers.
We believe our strategy of execution, diversification and innovation is differentiating us in the markets we serve and is delivering solid sales growth, select market share gains, improved profitability, strong earnings per share growth, and industry-leading returns on invested capital. We are constantly monitoring the factors that we can control, including our net sales growth, management of costs, working capital and capital spending. We will also continue to evaluate targeted strategic investments across our operations in IT enhancements and new business opportunities.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The information included within MD&A is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventory, vendor incentives, goodwill and intangible assets, deferred taxes and contingencies. Our estimates and judgments are based on currently available information, historical results, and other assumptions we believe are reasonable. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. We believe the critical accounting policies discussed below affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Accounts Receivable
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. In estimating the required allowance, we take into consideration the overall quality and aging of the receivable portfolio, the existence of credit insurance and specifically identified customer risks. Also influencing our estimates are the following: (1) the large number of customers and their dispersion across wide geographic areas; (2) the fact that no single customer accounts for more than 10% of our net sales; (3) the value and adequacy of collateral received from customers, if any; (4) our historical loss experience and (5) the current economic environment. If actual customer performance were to deteriorate to an extent not expected by us, additional allowances may be required which could have an adverse effect on our consolidated financial results. Conversely, if actual customer performance were to improve to an extent not expected by us, a reduction in allowances may be required which could have a favorable effect on our consolidated financial results.
16
Inventory
We value our inventory at the lower of its cost or market value, with cost being determined on the first-in, first-out method. We write down our inventory for estimated obsolescence equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon an aging analysis of the inventory on hand, specifically known inventory-related risks (such as technological obsolescence and the nature of vendor terms surrounding price protection and product returns), foreign currency fluctuations for foreign-sourced product, and assumptions about future demand. Market conditions or changes in terms and conditions by our vendors that are less favorable than those projected by management may require additional inventory write-downs, which could have an adverse effect on our consolidated financial results.
Vendor Incentives
We receive incentives from vendors related to cooperative advertising allowances, infrastructure funding, volume rebates and other incentive agreements. These incentives are generally under quarterly, semi-annual or annual agreements with the vendors; however, some of these incentives are negotiated on an ad-hoc basis to support specific programs mutually developed with the vendor. Unrestricted volume rebates and early payment discounts received from vendors are recorded when they are earned as a reduction of inventory and as a reduction of cost of products sold as the related inventory is sold. Vendor incentives for specifically identified cooperative advertising programs and infrastructure funding are recorded when earned as adjustments to product costs or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on the nature of the programs.
We also provide reserves for receivables on vendor programs for estimated losses resulting from vendors inability to pay or rejections of claims by vendors. Should amounts recorded as outstanding receivables from vendors be deemed uncollectible, additional allowances may be required which could have an adverse effect on our consolidated financial results.
Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets
The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed at least annually for impairment and may also be reviewed more frequently if current events and circumstances indicate a possible impairment. We also examine the carrying value of our intangible assets with finite lives, which includes capitalized software and development costs, purchased intangibles, and other long-lived assets as current events and circumstances warrant determining whether there are any impairment losses. If indicators of impairment are present and future cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the assets carrying amount, an impairment loss is charged to expense in the period identified. Factors that may cause a goodwill, intangible asset or other long-lived asset impairment include negative industry or economic trends and significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results. Our valuation methodologies include, but are not limited to, a discounted cash flow model, which estimates the net present value of the projected cash flows of our reporting units and a market approach, which evaluates comparative market multiples applied to our reporting units businesses to yield a second assumed value of each reporting unit. If actual results are substantially lower than our projections underlying these assumptions, or if market discount rates substantially increase, our future valuations could be adversely affected, potentially resulting in future impairment charges.
Income Taxes
We record valuation allowances to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. In assessing the adequacy of a recorded valuation allowance, we consider all positive and negative evidence and a variety of factors, including the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, historical and projected future taxable income, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. If we determine it is more likely than not that we will be able to use a deferred tax asset in the future in excess of its net carrying value, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance would be made to reduce income tax expense, thereby increasing net income in the period such determination was made. Should we determine that we are not likely to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance would be made to income tax expense, thereby reducing net income in the period such determination was made.
Contingencies
We accrue for contingent obligations, including estimated legal costs, when the obligation is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. As facts concerning contingencies become known, we reassess our position and make appropriate adjustments to the financial statements. Estimates that are particularly sensitive to future changes include those related to tax, legal, and other regulatory matters such as imports and exports, the imposition of international governmental controls, changes in the interpretation and enforcement of international laws (in particular related to items such as duty and taxation), and the impact of local economic conditions and practices, which are all subject to change as events evolve and as additional information becomes available during the administrative and litigation process.

Results of Operations
We do not consider stock-based compensation expense in assessing the performance of our operating segments; therefore the Company reports stock-based compensation expense separately.

Net Sales
Our consolidated net sales were $6.4 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, an increase of 17.8% when compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2011. The strengthening of certain foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar positively impacted our year-over-year net sales comparison by approximately nine percentage points. On a regional basis, during the second quarter of fiscal 2012, net sales in the Americas increased by 3.8% when compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and increased by 30.5% in Europe (an increase of 13.8% on a euro basis). On a year-to-date basis, net sales were $12.8 billion during the first semester of fiscal 2012, an increase of 15.2% when compared to the first semester of fiscal 2011. The strengthening of certain foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar positively impacted our year-over-year net sales comparison by approximately six percentage points.
The increase in net sales in the Americas during the second quarter and first semester of fiscal 2012 was primarily attributable to stronger demand for technology products in the region compared to the same periods of the prior year. The increase in net sales in Europe (on a euro basis) was primarily attributable to our acquisitions of Triades mobility, consumer electronics and IT distribution businesses in October 2010 and stronger demand for technology products in the region compared to the same periods of the prior year. During the second quarter and first semester of fiscal 2012, we did experience areas of softness in European demand within the consumer market and certain geographies experiencing weak economic environments, such as Spain, Portugal and the Czech Republic. However, these areas of softness were largely offset by strong performance in other European markets, such as Germany, U.K., Denmark and Norway.
Gross Profit
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales (gross margin) increased slightly to 5.28% during the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to 5.25% in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. On a year-to-date basis, gross margin increased to 5.28% for the first semester of fiscal 2011 compared to 5.23% in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. Our gross margin performance in both the second quarter and first semester of fiscal 2012 reflects our product diversification efforts, disciplined approach to managing our customer and vendor portfolios and effective execution of our pricing and freight management practices.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)
SG&A as a percentage of net sales remained relatively stable at 4.06% for the second quarter of fiscal 2012, compared to 4.05% in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. On a year-to-date basis, SG&A as a percentage of net sales increased to 4.07% compared to 4.01% in the comparable semester of the prior fiscal year. SG&A as a percentage of net sales in the second quarter and first semester of fiscal 2012 compared to the same periods of the prior year is primarily attributable the impact of the acquisitions of the mobility and consumer electronics businesses in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, which typically have higher operating expenses as a percentage of net sales, particularly in the first semester of the fiscal year, as well increased costs to support our sales growth.
19
In absolute dollars, SG&A increased by $40.3 million to $262.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and increased by $74.7 million to $519.8 million in the first semester of fiscal 2012 compared to the same period of the prior year. The year-over-year increase in SG&A is primarily attributable to the strengthening of certain foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar year-over-year, operating expenses related to acquisitions made in the prior fiscal year and increased costs to support our sales growth, as discussed above.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased 10.4% to $8.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to $7.3 million in the second quarter of the prior year. On a year-to-date basis, interest expense increased 20.2% to $16.7 million in the first semester of fiscal 2012 from $13.9 million in the first semester of the prior year. The increase in interest expense for the second quarter and first semester of fiscal 2012 is primarily attributable to higher average outstanding debt balances and higher interest rates as compared to the same periods of the prior year.
Interest expense for both of the three and six months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, includes non-cash interest expense of $2.5 million and $5.0 million, respectively, related to the $350 million convertible senior debentures (see Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion).
Other (Income) Expense, Net
Other (income) expense, net consists primarily of interest income, discounts on the sale of accounts receivable and net foreign currency exchange gains (losses) on certain financing transactions and the related derivative instruments used to hedge such financing transactions. Other (income) expense, net, approximated $0.2 million of income in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to $0.1 million of income in the second quarter of the prior year. On a year-to-date basis, other (income) expense, net, was $0.5 million of expense in the first semester of fiscal 2012 compared to $0.4 million of income in the first semester of the prior year. The change in other (income) expense, net, during both the second quarter and first semester of fiscal 2012 compared to the same periods of the prior year is primarily attributable to greater discount expense on the sale of accounts receivable and an increase in the premiums associated with foreign currency forward contracts compared to the same periods of the prior year.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate was 27.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 and 30.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Our effective tax rate was 26.8% for the first semester of fiscal 2012 compared to 28.9% for the same period of the prior year. The decrease in the effective rate for both the second quarter and first semester of fiscal 2012 compared to the same periods of the prior year is primarily the result of the relative mix of earnings and losses within the tax jurisdictions in which we operate.
On an absolute dollar basis, the provision for income taxes increased 8.2% to $19.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to $17.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2011. On a year-to-date basis, the provision for income taxes increased 4.5% to $36.8 million compared to $35.2 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in the provision for income taxes in these periods was primarily due to an increase in taxable earnings in certain countries in which we operate compared to the same periods of fiscal 2011.
The effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% during these periods primarily due to the relative mix of earnings or losses within the tax jurisdictions in which we operate such as: i) losses in tax jurisdictions where we are not able to record a tax benefit; ii) earnings in tax jurisdictions where we have previously recorded a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets; and iii) earnings in lower-tax jurisdictions for which no U.S. taxes have been provided because such earnings are planned to be reinvested indefinitely outside the United States.
The overall effective tax rate will continue to be dependent upon the geographic distribution of our earnings or losses, changes in tax laws, or interpretations of these laws in our operating jurisdictions. We monitor the assumptions used in estimating the annual effective tax rate and make adjustments, if required, throughout the year. If actual results differ from the assumptions used in estimating our annual effective income tax rates, future income tax expense could be materially affected.
Our future effective tax rates could be adversely affected by lower earnings than anticipated in countries with lower statutory rates, changes in the relative mix of taxable income and taxable loss jurisdictions, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets or liabilities, or changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof. In addition, our income tax returns are subject to continuous examination by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. To the extent we prevail in matters for which accruals have been established or we are required to pay amounts in excess of such accruals, our effective tax rate could be materially affected.
Net (Income) Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest for the second quarter and first semester of fiscal 2012 was $1.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, compared to a net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest of less than $0.1 million for the same periods of the prior fiscal year. The net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interest represents Brightstar Corporations share of the results of operations of Brightstar Europe Limited, a joint venture between Tech Data and Brightstar Corporation, as the joint venture is a consolidated subsidiary in our financial statements.

As a distribution company, our business requires significant investment in working capital, particularly accounts receivable and inventory, partially financed through our accounts payable to vendors. Overall, as our sales volume increases, our net investment in working capital typically increases, which, in general, results in decreased cash flow from operating activities. Conversely, when sales volume decreases, our net investment in working capital typically decreases, which, in general, results in increased cash flow from operating activities.
Another important driver to our operating cash flows is our cash conversion cycle (also referred to as net cash days). Our net cash days are defined as days of sales outstanding in accounts receivable (DSO) plus days of supply on hand in inventory (DOS), less days of purchases outstanding in accounts payable (DPO). We manage our cash conversion cycle on a daily basis and our reported financial results reflect that cash conversion cycle at the balance sheet date.
The following table presents the components of our cash conversion cycle, in days, as of July 31, 2011 and 2010:

Net cash provided by operating activities was $250.1 million for the first semester of fiscal 2012 compared to $33.5 million of cash provided by operating activities for the same period of the prior year. The change in cash resulting from operating activities during the first semester of fiscal 2012 compared to the same period of the prior year can be attributed primarily to the solid execution in our European operations during the second quarter of fiscal 2012 resulting in a decrease in our working capital requirements during the period, and the timing of cash receipts from our customers and payments to our vendors during the first semester of fiscal 2012 compared to the first semester of fiscal 2011.
Net cash used in investing activities of $22.3 million during the first semester of fiscal 2012 is primarily the result of $19.0 million of cash used for expenditures for the continuing expansion and upgrading of our IT systems, office facilities and equipment for our logistics centers. We expect to make total capital expenditures of approximately $44.0 million during fiscal 2012 for equipment and machinery in our logistics centers, office facilities and IT systems.
Net cash used in financing activities of $189.8 million during the first semester of fiscal 2012 includes $200.0 million of cash used for the repurchase of 4,229,179 shares of our common stock under our share repurchase program and $20.2 million of net repayments on our revolving credit lines and long-term debt, partially offset by $28.5 million in proceeds received for the reissuance of treasury stock related to exercises of equity-based incentives and purchases made through our Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Capital Resources and Debt Compliance
Our debt to capital ratio was 18% at July 31, 2011. Within our capital structure, we have a range of financing facilities, which are diversified by type and geographic region with various financial institutions worldwide. A significant portion of our cash and cash equivalents balance generally resides in our operations outside of the United States and are deposited and/or invested with various financial institutions globally which we monitor regularly for credit quality. However, we are exposed to risk of loss on funds deposited with the various financial institutions and we may experience significant disruptions in our liquidity needs if one or more of these financial institutions were to declare bankruptcy or other similar restructuring. We believe that our existing sources of liquidity, including cash resources and cash provided by operating activities, supplemented as necessary with funds available under our credit arrangements, will provide sufficient resources to meet our present and future working capital and cash requirements for at least the next 12 months. Capital and credit market conditions, changes in our credit rating or other market factors may increase our interest expense or other costs of capital or capital may not be available to us on acceptable terms to fund our working capital needs. We will continue to need additional financing, including debt financing. The inability to obtain such sources of capital could have an adverse effect on our business. Our credit facilities contain various financial and other covenants that may limit our ability to borrow or limit our flexibility in responding to business conditions. At July 31, 2011 we were in compliance with financial ratio covenants contained within our credit facilities.
Convertible Senior Debentures
In December 2006, we issued $350.0 million of convertible senior debentures due 2026. The debentures bear interest at 2.75% per year. We pay interest on the debentures on June 15 and December 15 of each year. In addition, beginning with the period commencing on December 20, 2011 and ending on June 15, 2012 and for each six-month period thereafter, we will pay contingent interest on the interest payment date for the applicable interest period, if the market price of the debentures exceeds specified levels. The debentures are redeemable in whole or in part for cash at our option at any time on or after December 20, 2011. The convertible senior debentures are convertible into our common stock and cash any time after June 15, 2026, or i) if the market price of the common stock, as defined, exceeds 135% of the conversion price per share of common stock, or ii) if the Company calls the debentures for redemption, or iii) upon the occurrence of certain corporate transactions, as defined. Holders have the right to convert the debentures into 18.4310 shares per $1,000 principal amount of debentures, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $54.26 per share. Upon conversion, we will deliver cash equal to the lesser of the aggregate principal amount of the debentures to be converted and our total conversion obligation and shares of our common stock in respect of the remainder, if any, of our conversion obligation. Holders have the option to require us to repurchase the debentures in cash on any of the fifth, tenth or fifteenth anniversary dates from the issue date at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest to the repurchase date. As a result of this repurchase right, the Company has classified the convertible senior debentures as short term debt on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at both July 31, 2011 and January 31, 2011. The debentures are senior, unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The debentures are effectively subordinated to all of our existing and future secured debt and are structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries.
Loans Payable to Brightstar Corporation
As of July 31, 2011, we have two loans payable to our joint venture partner, Brightstar Corporation (Brightstar). The first loan is an interest-free revolving credit loan issued in connection with BELs operations (the Brightstar Revolver). The terms of the Brightstar Revolver contain no contractual repayment date and allow the revolving credit loan to increase or decrease in accordance with the working capital requirements of BEL, as determined by the Company. The amount outstanding under the Brightstar Revolver at July 31, 2011 totaled $39.9 million. The second loan was executed in October 2010, when Brightstar entered into an agreement to loan Brightstar Europe Limited joint venture (BEL) its share of the funding requirements related to BELs acquisition of MCC (the Acquisition Loan) (see Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). The outstanding balance of the Acquisition Loan from Brightstar, plus any accrued interest, has a repayment date of September 2015, or earlier if agreed between the two parties, and bears interest at the applicable LIBOR rate plus 4.0% per year, which is payable annually on October 1. The Acquisition Loan at July 31, 2011 totaled $16.0 million.
Other Credit Facilities
We maintain a Receivables Securitization Program with a syndicate of banks which allows us to transfer an undivided interest in a designated pool of U.S. accounts receivable, on an ongoing basis, to provide security or collateral for borrowings up to a maximum of $300.0 million. This program was renewed in August 2011 and expires in August 2012. We pay interest on the Receivables Securitization Program at the applicable commercial paper or LIBOR rate plus an agreed-upon margin. There were no amounts outstanding under the Receivables Securitization Program at July 31, 2011. Additionally, we maintained a $250.0 million Multi-currency Revolving Credit Facility with a syndicate of banks, which expires in March 2012. We pay interest under this facility at the applicable LIBOR rate plus a margin based on our credit ratings. There were no amounts outstanding under the Multi-currency Revolving Credit Facility at July 31, 2011. In addition to the facilities described above, we have additional uncommitted lines of credit and overdraft facilities totaling approximately $604.0 million at July 31, 2011 to support our operations.
22
The total capacity of the other credit facilities discussed above, as well as the maximum borrowings allowable under the facility agreements was approximately $1.0 billion, of which $77.6 million was outstanding at July 31, 2011. Our credit facilities contain limitations on the amounts of annual dividends and repurchases of common stock. Additionally, the credit agreements require compliance with certain warranties and covenants. The financial ratio covenants contained within the credit facilities include a debt to capitalization ratio, an interest to EBITDA (as defined per the credit agreements) ratio and a tangible net worth requirement. At July 31, 2011, we were in compliance with all such covenants. The ability to draw funds under these credit facilities is dependent upon sufficient collateral (in the case of the Receivables Securitization Program) and meeting the aforementioned financial covenants, which may limit our ability to draw the full amount of these facilities. At July 31, 2011, we had also issued standby letters of credit of $81.4 million for the guarantee of payment to certain third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions. The issuance of these letters of credit may reduce our available capacity under the above-mentioned facilities by the same amount.
Share Repurchase Programs
In March 2011, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $100.0 million of our common stock and in June 2011, authorized a $100.0 million increase to the share repurchase program, resulting in a total share repurchase authorization of $200.0 million during the first semester of fiscal 2012. As of July 31, 2011, we have completed the $200.0 million share repurchase program through the repurchase of 4,229,179 shares at an average of $47.29 per share, for a total cost, including expenses, of $200.0 million under this program. Under our share repurchase program, the number of shares purchased and the timing of the purchases is based on working capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors, including alternative investment opportunities. Shares we repurchase are held in treasury for general corporate purposes, including issuances under employee equity incentive plans.
In August 2011, the Companys Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $100.0 million of the Companys common stock. In conjunction with this share repurchase program, the Company executed a 10b5-1 plan that instructs the broker selected by the Company to repurchase shares on behalf of the Company. The amount of common stock repurchased in accordance with the 10b5-1 plan on any given trading day is determined by a formula in the plan, which is based on the market price of the Companys common stock.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Synthetic Lease Facility
We have a synthetic lease facility (the Synthetic Lease), expiring in June 2013, with a group of financial institutions under which we lease certain logistics centers and office facilities from a third-party lessor. Properties leased under the Synthetic Lease are located in Clearwater and Miami, Florida; Fort Worth, Texas; Fontana, California; Suwanee, Georgia; Swedesboro, New Jersey; and South Bend, Indiana. The Synthetic Lease has been accounted for as an operating lease and rental payments are calculated at the applicable LIBOR rate plus a margin based on our credit ratings.
During the first four years of the lease term, we may, at our option, purchase any combination of the seven properties, at an amount equal to each of the propertys cost, as long as the lease balance does not decrease below a defined amount. During the last year of the lease term, until 180 days prior to the lease expiration, we may, at our option, i) purchase a minimum of two of the seven properties, at an amount equal to each of the propertys cost, ii) exercise the option to renew the lease for a minimum of two of the seven properties or iii) exercise the option to remarket a minimum of two of the seven properties and cause a sale of the properties. If we elect to remarket the properties, we have guaranteed the lessor a percentage of the cost of each property, in the aggregate amount of approximately $107.4 million (the residual value). We have also provided a residual value guarantee related to the Synthetic Lease, which has been recorded at the estimated fair value of the residual guarantee.
The sum of future minimum lease payments under the Synthetic Lease is approximately $3.4 million at July 31, 2011. The Synthetic Lease contains covenants that must be complied with, similar to the covenants described in certain of the credit facilities. As of July 31, 2011, we were in compliance with all such covenants.
Guarantees
As is customary in the technology industry, to encourage certain customers to purchase product from us, we have arrangements with certain finance companies that provide inventory-financing facilities for our customers. In conjunction with certain of these arrangements, we have agreements with the finance companies that would require us to repurchase certain inventory, which might be repossessed from the customers by the finance companies. Due to various reasons, including among other items, the lack of information regarding the amount of saleable inventory purchased from us still on hand with the customer at any point in time, our repurchase obligations relating to inventory cannot be reasonably estimated. Repurchases of inventory by us under these arrangements have been insignificant to date. We also provide additional financial guarantees to finance companies on behalf of certain customers. The majority of these guarantees are for an indefinite period of time, where we would be required to perform if the customer is in default with the finance company related to purchases made from the Company. The Company reviews the underlying credit for these guarantees on at least an annual basis. As of July 31, 2011 and January 31, 2011, the aggregate amount of guarantees under these arrangements totaled approximately $65.5 million and $62.1 million, respectively, of which approximately $40.6 million and $43.0 million, respectively, was outstanding. We believe that, based on historical experience, the likelihood of a material loss pursuant to the above guarantees is remote.

ITEM 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
For a description of the Companys market risks, see Item 7a. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011. No material changes have occurred in our market risks since January 31, 2011.
ITEM 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Companys management, with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of July 31, 2011. Based on that evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of July 31, 2011.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with managements evaluation during the second quarter of fiscal 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Additional Information
As disclosed in the Companys Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011, on October 1, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Triade Holding B.V. (Triade), a privately owned wholesale distributor of consumer electronics and information technology products based in the Netherlands with operations in Belgium, Denmark and Norway. In a related transaction, on October 1, 2010, Brightstar Europe Limited (BEL), a consolidated joint venture between the Company and Brightstar Corporation, also completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of certain of Triades mobility subsidiaries in Belgium and the Netherlands (MCC). Managements assessment and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2011, excluded the internal controls of Triade and MCC. The Company is in the process of integrating the acquired businesses into the Companys overall internal control over financial reporting processes.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. | Legal Proceedings |
Prior to fiscal 2004, one of the Companys European subsidiaries was audited in relation to various value-added tax (VAT) matters. As a result of those audits, the subsidiary received notices of assessment that allege the subsidiary did not properly collect and remit VAT. It is managements opinion, based upon the opinion of outside legal counsel, that the Company has valid defenses related to a substantial portion of these assessments. Although the Company is vigorously pursuing administrative and judicial action to challenge the assessments, no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome. The resolution of such assessments will not be material to the Companys consolidated financial position; however, it could be material to the Companys operating results for any particular period, depending upon the level of income for such period.
In December 2010, in a non-unanimous decision, a Brazilian appellate court overturned a 2003 trial court which had previously ruled in favor of the Companys Brazilian subsidiary related to the imposition of certain taxes on payments abroad related to the licensing of commercial software products, commonly referred to as CIDE tax. The Company estimates the total exposure where the CIDE tax, including interest, may be considered due, to be approximately $35.1 million as of July 31, 2011. The Brazilian subsidiary has moved for clarification of the ruling and intends to appeal if the court does not rule in its favor. However, in order to pursue the next level of appeal, the Brazilian subsidiary may be required to make a deposit or to provide a guarantee to the courts for the payment of the CIDE tax pending the outcome of the appeal, which will be reflected in the Brazilian subsidiarys financial statements at such time. Based on the legal opinion of outside counsel, the Company believes that the chances of success on appeal of this matter are favorable and the Brazilian subsidiary intends to vigorously defend its position that the CIDE tax is not due. However, no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome of this matter. The resolution of this matter will not be material to the Companys consolidated financial position or liquidity; however, it could be material to the Companys operating results for any particular period, depending on the level of income for such period.
The Company is subject to various other legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Companys management does not expect the outcome in any of these other legal proceedings, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
24
ITEM 1A. | Risk Factors |
In addition to 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 January 31, 2011, which could materially affect our business, financial position and results of operations. Risk factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by forward-looking statements include but are not limited to those discussed or identified in this document, in our public filings with the SEC, and those incorporated by reference in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2011.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company added the following to the risk factors referred to above in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2011:
Potential Adverse Effects of Litigation or Regulatory Enforcement Actions
The Company cannot predict what losses we might incur in litigation matters, regulatory enforcement actions and contingencies that we may be involved with from time to time. There are various claims, lawsuits and pending actions against us. It is our opinion that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position. However, the resolution of certain of these matters could be material to our operating results for any particular period, depending on the level of income for such period. We can make no assurances that we will ultimately be successful in our defense of any of these matters. See Part I, Item 3, Legal Proceedings, in this Form 10-K for a discussion of our material legal matters.
ITEM 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use Of Proceeds |
In March 2011, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $100.0 million of our common stock and in June 2011, authorized a $100.0 million increase to the share repurchase program, resulting in a total share repurchase authorization of $200 million through the first semester of fiscal 2012. As of July 31, 2011, we have completed the $200.0 million share repurchases program through the repurchase of 4,229,179 shares at an average of $47.29 per share, for a total cost, including expenses, of $200.0 million under this program.
The share repurchases to date were made on the open market, through block trades or otherwise. The number of shares purchased and the timing of the purchases was based on working capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors, including alternative investment opportunities.
In conjunction with the share repurchase program discussed above, the Company executed a 10b5-1 plan that instructs the broker selected by the Company to repurchase shares on behalf of the Company. The amount of common stock repurchased in accordance with the 10b5-1 plan on any given trading day is determined by a formula in the plan, which is based on the market price of the Companys common stock. Shares repurchased by the Company are held in treasury for general corporate purposes, including issuances under equity incentive and benefit plans.

(a) Incremental Transfers. With respect to each Class, upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth and provided that a Termination Event or a Potential Termination Event or the Termination Date for such Class shall not have occurred and be continuing, the Transferor may, at its option, convey, transfer and assign to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the applicable Class Investors for such Class and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Class Conduit for such Class may, at the option of such Class Conduit, or the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Bank Investors for such Class provided that such Bank Investors shall have previously accepted the assignment by the related Class Conduit of all of such Class Conduits interest in the Affected Assets, shall, if so requested by the Transferor, accept such conveyance, transfer and assignment from the Transferor, without recourse except as provided herein, undivided percentage ownership interests in the Receivables, together with Related Security, Collections and Proceeds with respect thereto (each, an Incremental Transfer); provided that after giving effect to the payment to the Transferor of the Transfer Price therefor (i) the Net Investment for such Class shall not exceed the Maximum Net Investment for such Class, (ii) the sum of the Net Investment for such Class plus, in the case where the Class Conduit for such Class holds a portion of the Transferred Interest, the Interest Component of all outstanding Related Commercial Paper issued by such Class Conduit (or its related commercial paper issuer if the Class Conduit does not itself issue commercial paper) shall not exceed the Facility Limit for such Class and (iii) the Aggregate Percentage Factor shall not exceed the Maximum Percentage Factor; and, provided, that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1 shall be true and correct both immediately before and immediately after giving effect to any such Transfer. All Incremental Transfers shall be made on a pro rata basis to each Class (based upon the relation of the Maximum Net Investment for such Class to the Aggregate Maximum Net Investment).
30
The Transferor shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given by telecopy, offer to convey, transfer and assign to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of any of the applicable Class Investors, undivided percentage ownership interests in the Receivables and the other Affected Assets relating thereto not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day prior to the proposed date of any Incremental Transfer. With respect to each Class, each such notice shall specify (w) whether such request is made to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Class Conduit for such Class or the related Bank Investors for such Class (it being understood and agreed that once any of such Bank Investors acquire any interest in the Transferred Interest hereunder, such Bank Investors shall be required to purchase all of the portion of the Transferred Interest held by the related Class Conduit in accordance with Section 10.7 and thereafter such Class Conduit shall no longer accept any additional Incremental Transfers hereunder), (x) the desired Transfer Price (which shall be at least $5,000,000 per Class or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof) or, to the extent that the then available unused portion of the Aggregate Maximum Net Investment is less than such amount, such lesser amount equal to such available portion of such Aggregate Maximum Net Investment), (y) the desired date of such Incremental Transfer and (z) the desired Tranche Period(s) and allocations of the Net Investment for such Class of such Incremental Transfer thereto as required by Section 2.3. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Class Agent and each Class Conduit or related Bank Investors for such Class, as applicable, of the Administrative Agents receipt of any request for an Incremental Transfer to be made to such Person. To the extent that any such Incremental Transfer is requested of a Class Conduit, such Class Conduit shall accept or reject such offer by notice given to the Transferor and the Administrative Agent by telephone or telecopy by no later than the close of its business on the Business Day following its receipt of any such request. Each notice of proposed Transfer shall be irrevocable and binding on the Transferor and the Transferor shall indemnify each Class Investor against any loss or expense incurred by such Class Investor, either directly or through a Liquidity Provider Agreement, as a result of any failure by the Transferor to complete such Incremental Transfer including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits) or expense incurred by such Class Investor, either directly or pursuant to a Liquidity Provider Agreement by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of funds acquired by such Class Investor (or a related Liquidity Provider) (including, without limitation, funds obtained by issuing commercial paper or promissory notes or obtaining deposits as loans from third parties) to fund such Incremental Transfer.
On the date of the initial Incremental Transfer to the Class Investors, the related Class Agent on behalf of such Class shall deliver written confirmation to the Transferor of the Transfer Price, the Tranche Period(s) and the Tranche Rate(s) relating to such Transfer and the Transferor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the Transfer Certificate in the form of Exhibit F hereto (the Transfer Certificate). The Administrative Agent shall indicate the amount of the initial Incremental Transfer together with the date thereof on the grid attached to the Transfer Certificate. On the date of each subsequent Incremental Transfer, the applicable Class Agent shall send written confirmation to the Transferor of the Transfer Price, the Tranche Period(s), the Transfer Date and the Tranche Rate(s) applicable to such Incremental Transfer. The Administrative Agent shall indicate the amount of the Incremental Transfer together with the date thereof as well as any decrease in each Net Investment, on the grid attached to the Transfer Certificate. The Transfer Certificate shall evidence the Incremental Transfers.
31
By no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on any Transfer Date, each Class Investor participating in the Incremental Transfer occurring on such date shall remit its share (which, in the case of an Incremental Transfer to the Bank Investors for any Class shall be equal to each such Bank Investors Pro Rata Share) of the aggregate Transfer Price for such Transfer to the account of the Administrative Agent specified therefor from time to time by the Administrative Agent by notice to such Persons. The obligation of each Bank Investor of any Class to remit its Pro Rata Share of any such Transfer Price shall be several from that of each other Bank Investor of such Class and the failure of any such Bank Investor to so make such amount available to the Administrative Agent shall not relieve any other Bank Investor of such Class of its respective obligation hereunder. Following each Incremental Transfer and the Administrative Agents receipt of funds from the applicable Class Investors, as aforesaid, the Administrative Agent shall remit to the Transferors account at the location indicated in Section 11.3 hereof, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the Transfer Price for such Incremental Transfer. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Class Investor that such Person will not make its share of any Transfer Price relating to any Incremental Transfer available on the applicable Transfer Date therefor, the Administrative Agent may (but shall have no obligation to) make such Persons share of any such Transfer Price available to the Transferor in anticipation of the receipt by the Administrative Agent of such amount from such Person. To the extent any Class Investor fails to remit any such amount to the Administrative Agent after any such advance by the Administrative Agent on such Transfer Date, such Class Investor, on the one hand, and the Transferor on the other hand, shall be required to pay such amount, together with interest thereon at a per annum rate equal to the Federal funds rate (as determined in accordance with clause (ii) of the definition of Base Rate), in the case of such Class Investor, or the Base Rate, in the case of the Transferor, to the Administrative Agent upon its demand therefor (provided that no Class Conduit shall have any obligation to pay such interest amounts except to the extent that it shall have sufficient funds to pay the face amount of its Commercial Paper (or the commercial paper of its related issuer if the Class Conduit does not itself issue commercial paper) in full). Until such amount shall be repaid, such amount shall be deemed to be Aggregate Net Investment paid by the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be the owner of a Transferred Interest hereunder. Upon the payment of such amount to the Administrative Agent (x) by the Transferor, the amount of the Aggregate Net Investment shall be reduced by such amount or (y) by such Class Investor, such payment shall constitute such Class Investors payment of its share of the applicable Transfer Price for such Transfer.
(b) Reinvestment Transfers. With respect to each Class, on each Business Day occurring after the initial Incremental Transfer hereunder and prior to the Termination Date for such Class, and provided that no Termination Event or Potential Termination Event for such Class shall have occurred and be continuing, the Transferor hereby agrees to convey, transfer and assign to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Class Investors of such Class then owning any portion of the Transferred Interest, and in consideration of the Transferors agreement to maintain at all times prior to such Termination Date a Net Receivables Balance in an amount at least sufficient to maintain the Aggregate Percentage Factor at an amount not greater than the Maximum Percentage Factor, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the applicable Class Conduit may (at the option of such Class Conduit), and the Administrative Agent on behalf of the applicable Bank Investors shall (in either case, to the extent such Persons then own any portion of the Transferred Interest), purchase from the Transferor undivided percentage ownership interests in each and every Receivable, together with Related Security, Collections and Proceeds with respect thereto, to the extent that Collections are available for such Transfer in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof, such that after giving effect to such Transfer, (i) the amount of the Net Investment for such Class at the close of business on such Business Day shall be equal to the amount of the Net Investment for such Class at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding such Business Day plus the Transfer Price of any Incremental Transfer made by or on behalf of such Class Investors, as applicable, on such day, if any, and (ii) the Transferred Interest in each Receivable, together with Related Security, Collections and Proceeds with respect thereto, shall be equal to the Transferred Interest in each other Receivable, together with Related Security, Collections and Proceeds with respect thereto provided, that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1 shall be true and correct both immediately before and immediately after giving effect to any such Transfer.
32
(c) All Transfers. With respect to each Class, each Transfer shall constitute a purchase by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the applicable Class Investors for such Class, of an undivided percentage ownership interest in each and every Receivable, together with Related Security, Collections and Proceeds with respect thereto, then existing, as well as in each and every Receivable, together with Related Security, Collections and Proceeds with respect thereto, which arises at any time after the date of such Transfer. The Administrative Agents aggregate undivided percentage ownership interest in the Receivables, together with the Related Security, Collections and Proceeds with respect thereto, held on behalf of all Class Investors, shall equal the Aggregate Percentage Factor in effect from time to time. With respect to each Class, so long as the Administrative Agent on behalf of either the Class Conduit for such Class, on the one hand, or the Bank Investors for such Class, on the other hand, owns all of the Transferred Interest related to the Net Investment for such Class at such time, each of such Class Conduits and each such Bank Investors undivided percentage ownership interest in the Affected Assets shall equal such Persons ratable share (determined on the basis of the relationship that such Persons portion of Net Investment for such Class bears to the Aggregate Net Investment for all Classes at such time) of the Aggregate Percentage Factor at such time.
(d) Certificate. The Transferor shall issue to the Administrative Agent the Certificate, in the form of Exhibit M, on or prior to the date hereof.
(e) Aggregate Percentage Factor. The Aggregate Percentage Factor shall be initially computed as of the opening of business on May 19, 2000. Thereafter, with respect to each Class, until the Termination Date for such Class, the Percentage Factor for such Class shall be automatically recomputed as of the close of business of the Collection Agent on each day. The Percentage Factor for each Class shall remain constant from the time as of which any such computation or recomputation is made until the time as of which the next such recomputation, if any, shall be made. The Percentage Factor with respect to each Class, as computed as of the day immediately preceding the Termination Date for such Class, shall remain constant at all times on and after such Termination Date, until the date on which the Net Investment for such Class has been reduced to zero, and all accrued Discounts and Servicing Fees for such Class have been paid in full and all other Aggregate Unpaids owing to the applicable Class Investor(s) for such Class have been paid in full to such Class Investors.
At no time shall the Aggregate Percentage Factor exceed one hundred percent (100%). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, should the Aggregate Percentage Factor exceed one hundred percent (100%) at any time, the Percentage Factor for each Class shall be calculated pro rata, based upon the relationship of the Net Investment for such Class to the Aggregate Net Investment.
33
(f) Defaulting Bank Investor. If, by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time), one or more Bank Investors in any Class (each, a Defaulting Bank Investor, and each Bank Investor in such class other than any Defaulting Bank Investor being referred to as a Non-Defaulting Bank Investor) fails to make its Pro Rata Share of the Transfer Price available to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(a), or any Assignment Amount payable by it to its related Class Conduit pursuant to Section 10.7(a) (the aggregate amount not so made available being herein called in either case the Deficit), then the Administrative Agent shall, by no later than 2:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable Transfer Date or the applicable date that such Assignment Amount is payable (the Assignment Date), as the case may be, instruct each Non-Defaulting Bank Investor to pay or deposit, by no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time), in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent or such Class Conduit, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) such Non-Defaulting Bank Investors proportionate share (based upon the relative Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Bank Investors) of the Deficit and (ii) its unused Commitment. A Defaulting Bank Investor shall forthwith, upon demand, pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Non-Defaulting Bank Investors all amounts paid by each Non-Defaulting Bank Investor on behalf of such Defaulting Bank Investor, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date a payment was made by a Non-Defaulting Bank Investor until the date such Non-Defaulting Bank Investor has been paid such amounts in full, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate, plus 2.00% per annum. In addition, if, after giving effect to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, any Deficit with respect to any Assignment Amount continues to exist, each such Defaulting Bank Investor shall pay interest to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the related Class Conduit, on such Defaulting Bank Investors portion of such remaining Deficit, at a rate per annum, equal to the sum of the Base Rate, plus 2.00% per annum, for each day from the applicable Assignment Date until the date such Defaulting Bank Investor shall pay its portion of such remaining Deficit in full to such Class Conduit. For the avoidance of doubt, no Bank Investor shall be obligated pursuant to this paragraph (f) with respect to any Deficit created by a Bank Investor which is not a member of the same Class.
34
Section 2.3 Selection of Tranche Periods and Tranche Rates.
(a) Transferred Interest held by a Class Conduit Prior to a Termination Event. With respect to each Class, at all times hereafter, but prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event for such Class and not with respect to any portion of the Transferred Interest held by the Bank Investors for such Class (or any of them), the Transferor may, subject to the applicable Class Conduits approval and the limitations described below, request Tranche Periods with respect to such Class and allocate a portion of the Net Investment for such Class to each such selected Tranche Period, so that the aggregate amounts allocated to such outstanding Tranche Periods at all times shall equal the Net Investment held by such Class Conduit. The Transferor shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which notice the Administrative Agent shall forward to the applicable Class Agent) by telephone of the new requested Tranche Period(s) and whether the requested Tranche Rate applicable thereto shall be the applicable CP Rate, the Base Rate or the Eurodollar Rate at least (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the expiration of any then existing Tranche Period if the Tranche Rate to be applicable to the new requested Tranche Period shall be the applicable Eurodollar Rate, (ii) two (2) Business Days prior to the expiration of any then existing Tranche Period if the Tranche Rate to be applicable to the new requested Tranche Period shall be the Base Rate, and (iii) two (2) Business Days prior to the expiration of any then existing Tranche Period if the Tranche Rate to be applicable to the new requested Tranche Period shall be the CP Rate; provided, however, that such Class Agent may select, in its reasonable discretion, any such new Tranche Period and the Tranche Rate if (i) the Transferor fails to provide such notice on a timely basis or (ii) such Class Agent determines, in its reasonable discretion, that the Tranche Rate or the Tranche Period requested by the Transferor is unavailable or for any reason commercially undesirable. Each Class Conduit confirms that it is its intention to allocate all or substantially all of the Net Investment held by it to one or more of its CP Tranche Periods; provided that such Class Conduit may determine from time to time, in its sole discretion, that funding such Net Investment by means of one or more of its CP Tranche Periods is not desirable for any reason. If a Liquidity Provider acquires from any Class Conduit a Purchased Interest with respect to the Receivables pursuant to the terms of the applicable Liquidity Provider Agreement, the applicable Class Agent, on behalf of such Liquidity Provider, may exercise the right of selection granted to such Class Conduit hereby. The initial Tranche Period applicable to any such Purchased Interest shall be a period of not greater than 14 days. In the case of any Tranche Period selected pursuant to this paragraph that is outstanding upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, such Tranche Period shall end on such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any portion of the Transferred Interest held by a Class Conduit which utilizes pool funding, such Class Conduit or its Class Agent shall select, in its sole discretion, all Tranche Periods and shall allocate a portion of the Net Investment for such Class to such Tranche Periods so that the aggregate amounts allocated to such outstanding Tranche Periods at all times shall equal the Net Investment held by such Class Conduit.
(b) Transferred Interest Held by a Class Conduit After a Termination Event. With respect to each Class, at all times on and after the occurrence of a Termination Event for such Class, with respect to any portion of the Transferred Interest held by a Class Conduit which shall not have been transferred to the related Bank Investors (or any of them), subject to Section 7.2(b) such Class Conduit or its Class Agent shall select all Tranche Periods and Tranche Rates applicable thereto.
(c) Transferred Interest Held by the Bank Investors Prior to a Termination Event. With respect to each Class, at all times with respect to any portion of the Transferred Interest held by the related Bank Investors (or any of them), but prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event for such Class, the initial Tranche Period applicable to such portion of the Net Investment for such Class allocable thereto shall be a period of not greater than 14 days and such Tranche shall be a BR Tranche. Thereafter, with respect to such portion, and with respect to any other portion of the Transferred Interest held by such Bank Investors (or any of them), provided that the Termination Date shall not have occurred, the Tranche Period applicable thereto shall be, at the Transferors option, either a BR Tranche Period or a Eurodollar Tranche Period. If no Termination Event shall have occurred and the only portion of the Transferred Interest which is funded by reference to the Eurodollar Rate is the portion thereof held by the Bank of America as a SUSI Issuer Bank Investor, the margin applicable to the Eurodollar Rate shall be adjusted as provided in the definition thereof. The Transferor shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice by telephone of the new requested Tranche Period at least two (2) Business Days prior to the expiration of any then existing Tranche. In the case of any Tranche Period selected pursuant to this paragraph that is outstanding upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the related Tranche Period shall end on the date of such occurrence.
35
(d) Transferred Interest Held by the Bank Investors After a Termination Date. With respect to each Class, at all times on and after the occurrence of a Termination Event for such Class and with respect to any portion of the Transferred Interest held by the related Bank Investors for such Class (or any of them), subject to Section 7.2(b), the applicable Class Agent shall select all Tranche Periods and Tranche Rates applicable thereto.
(e) Eurodollar Rate Protection; Illegality. (i) If the applicable Class Agent is unable to obtain on a timely basis the information necessary to determine the Eurodollar Rate for any proposed Eurodollar Tranche, then:
(A) the Administrative Agent shall forthwith notify the applicable Class Investors and the Transferor that the Eurodollar Rate cannot be determined for such Eurodollar Tranche, as applicable; and
(B) while such circumstances exist, neither any Class Investor nor the Administrative Agent shall allocate any portion of the Net Investment purchased by such Person during such period or reallocate the Net Investment allocated to any then existing Tranche ending during such period, to a Eurodollar Tranche.
(ii) If, with respect to any outstanding Eurodollar Tranche, any Class Investor owning any portion of the Transferred Interest therein notifies the Administrative Agent that it is unable to obtain matching deposits in the London interbank market to fund its purchase or maintenance of such portion of the Transferred Interest or that the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such portion of the Transferred Interest will not adequately reflect the cost to such Class Investor of funding or maintaining its respective portion of the Transferred Interest for such Tranche Period then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Transferor, whereupon neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Class Investors, as applicable, shall, while such circumstances exist, allocate any portion of the Net Investment with respect to such Class of any additional Transferred Interest purchased during such period or reallocate the Net Investment with respect to such Class allocated to any Tranche Period ending during such period, to an applicable Eurodollar Tranche.
36
(iii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Class Investor, as applicable, shall notify the Administrative Agent that such Class Investor has determined (or has been notified by any related Liquidity Provider) that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful (for such Class Investor or such related Liquidity Provider, as applicable), or any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Class Investor or Liquidity Provider, as applicable, to fund the purchases or maintenance of the Transferred Interest at the Eurodollar Rate, then (x) as of the effective date of such notice from such Person to the Administrative Agent, the obligation or ability of such Class Investor to fund its purchase or maintenance of the Transferred Interest at the Eurodollar Rate shall be suspended until such Person notifies the Administrative Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and (y) the Net Investment of each Eurodollar Tranche in which such Person owns an interest shall either (1) if such Person may lawfully continue to maintain such Transferred Interest at the Eurodollar Rate until the last day of the applicable Tranche Period be reallocated on the last day of such Tranche Period to another Tranche Period in respect of which such Net Investment allocated thereto accrues Discount at the applicable Tranche Rate other than the Eurodollar Rate or (2) if such Person shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain such Transferred Interest at the Eurodollar Rate until the end of the applicable Tranche Period such Persons share of the Net Investment allocated to such Eurodollar Tranche shall be deemed to accrue Discount at the Base Rate from the effective date of such notice until the end of such Tranche Period.
Section 2.4 Discount, Fees and Other Costs and Expenses. The Transferor shall pay, as and when due in accordance with this Agreement, all fees hereunder, all amounts payable pursuant to Article VIII hereof, if any, and the Servicing Fees. With respect to each Class, on the last day of each Tranche Period or, for any Conduit (or its related commercial paper issuer if the Conduit does not itself issue commercial paper) that utilizes pool funding on or prior to the fifth Business Day of the calendar month following the applicable Tranche Period, the Transferor shall pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the related Class Conduit (or its related commercial paper issuer), and the Administrative Agent shall pay such payment to such Class Conduit (or its related commercial paper issuer), in the event any portion of the Transferred Interest is held by such Class Conduit (or its related commercial paper issuer), an amount equal to the Discount accrued on such Class Conduits (or its related commercial paper issuers) Commercial Paper to the extent such Commercial Paper was issued in order to fund such portion of the Transferred Interest in an amount in excess of the Transfer Price of an Incremental Transfer, which excess amount shall not exceed $5,000. The Transferor shall pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the applicable Class Conduit (or its related commercial paper issuer) each day on which Commercial Paper is issued by such Class Conduit (or its related commercial paper issuer), the applicable Dealer Fee, and the Administrative Agent shall pay such Dealer Fee to such Class Conduit; provided, however, that at the election of a Class Conduit, Dealer Fees accrued over the course of any calendar month in respect of Related Commercial Paper may be payable by the Transferor on the last day of one or more Tranche Periods ending during the succeeding calendar month.

With respect to each Class, on each day after the date of any Incremental Transfer but prior to the Termination Date for such Class and provided in each case that no Termination Event or Potential Termination Event for which there is no grace period shall have occurred and be continuing for such Class, the Collection Agent shall out of the Percentage Factor for such Class of Collections received on or prior to such day and not previously applied or accounted for: (i) set aside and hold in trust for the applicable Class Investors for such Class (or deposit into the Collection Account if so required pursuant to Section 2.12 hereof), an amount equal to all Discount (which, in the case of Discount computed by reference to the CP Rate with respect to any Class Conduit that utilizes pool funding, shall be determined for such purpose using the CP Rate most recently determined by the related Class Agent, multiplied by the Fluctuation Factor) for such Class and the Servicing Fee accrued through such day and not so previously set aside or paid and (ii) apply the balance of the Aggregate Percentage Factor of Collections remaining after application of Collections as provided in clause (i) of this Section 2.5 to the Transferor, for the benefit of the Class Investors, as applicable, to the purchase of additional undivided percentage interests in each Receivable pursuant to Section 2.2(b) hereof. On the last day of each Tranche Period for each Class from the amounts set aside as described in clause (i) of the first sentence of this Section 2.5, the Collection Agent shall deposit to the Administrative Agents account, for the benefit of the applicable Class Investors for such Class, an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Discount for such Class and for such Tranche Period and shall deposit to its own account an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee for such Tranche Period. The Administrative Agent, upon its receipt of such amounts in the Administrative Agents account, shall distribute such amounts to the Class Investors entitled thereto as set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall have insufficient funds to pay all of the above amounts in full on any such date, the Administrative Agent shall pay such amounts ratably (based on the amounts owing to each such Class Investor) to all such Class Investors entitled to payment thereof. In addition, the Collection Agent shall remit to the Transferor at the end of each Tranche Period, as provided in Section 6.2(b), such portion of Collections not allocated to the Class Investors.
Section 2.6 Liquidation Settlement Procedures. If at any time on or prior to the Termination Date for such Class the Aggregate Percentage Factor is greater than the Maximum Percentage Factor, then the Transferor shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Class Investors from previously received Collections, an amount equal to the amount such that, when applied in reduction of the Aggregate Net Investment, will result in an Aggregate Percentage Factor less than or equal to the Maximum Percentage Factor. Such amounts shall be applied pro rata to the reduction of the Net Investment for each Class of the Tranche Periods selected by the Class Agent for such Class.
38
With respect to each Class, on the Termination Date for such Class and on each day thereafter, and on each day on which a Termination Event or Potential Termination Event has occurred and is continuing for such Class, the Collection Agent shall set aside and hold in trust for the applicable Class Investors for such Class (or deposit into the Collection Account if so required pursuant to Section 2.12 hereof) the Percentage Factor for such Class of all Collections received on such day and shall set aside and hold in trust for the Transferor such portion of Collections not allocated to the Class Investors. On each such Termination Date or the day on which a Termination Event or Potential Termination Event for such Class for which there is no grace period occurs, the Collection Agent shall deposit to the Administrative Agents account, for the benefit of the applicable Class Investors for such Class, any amounts set aside pursuant to Section 2.5 above. With respect to each Class, on the last day of each Tranche Period to occur on or after such Termination Date for such Class or during the continuance of a Termination Event or Potential Termination Event for such Class, the Collection Agent shall deposit to the Administrative Agents account to the extent not already so deposited, for the benefit of the Class Investors for such Class, the amounts so set aside for such Class Investors, pursuant to the second preceding sentence, but not to exceed the sum of (i) the accrued Discount (which, in the case of Discount computed by reference to the CP Rate with respect to any Class Conduit that utilizes pool funding, shall be determined for such purpose using the CP Rate most recently determined by the related Class Agent, multiplied by the Fluctuation Factor) for such Tranche Period (ii) the portion of the Net Investment allocated to such Tranche Period and (iii) all other Aggregate Unpaids owing to such Class Investors. On such day, the Collection Agent shall deposit to its account, from the amounts set aside for such Class, pursuant to the preceding sentence which remain after payment in full of the aforementioned amounts, the accrued Servicing Fee for such Tranche Period. If there shall be insufficient funds on deposit for the Collection Agent to distribute funds in payment in full of the aforementioned amounts, the Collection Agent shall distribute funds first, if the Transferor, Tech Data or any Affiliate of the Transferor or Tech Data is not then the Collection Agent, to the Collection Agents account, in payment of the Servicing Fee payable to the Collection Agent, second, in payment of all fees payable by the Transferor to the Administrative Agent or any of the Class Investors, third, in payment of the accrued Discount to each Class, fourth, in reduction of the Net Investment allocated to any Tranche Period ending on such date, fifth, in payment of all other Aggregate Unpaids owing to the Class Investors, as applicable, and sixth, if the Transferor, Tech Data or any Affiliate of the Transferor or Tech Data is the Collection Agent, to its account as Collection Agent, in payment of the Servicing Fee payable to such Person as Collection Agent. The Administrative Agent, upon its receipt of such amounts in the Administrative Agents account, shall distribute such amounts to the Class Investors, each as entitled thereto as set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall have insufficient funds to pay all of the above amounts in full on any such date, the Administrative Agent shall pay such amounts in the order of priority set forth above and, with respect to any such category above for which the Administrative Agent shall have insufficient funds to pay all amounts owing on such date, ratably (based on the amounts in such categories owing to such Persons) among all such Persons entitled to payment thereof.
Following the date after all Termination Dates on which the Aggregate Net Investment has been reduced to zero, all accrued Discount and Servicing Fees have been paid in full and all other Aggregate Unpaids have been paid in full, (i) the Collection Agent shall recompute the Percentage Factor for each Class, (ii) the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Class Investors, shall be considered to have reconveyed to the Transferor all of the Class Investors right, title and interest in and to the Affected Assets (including the Transferred Interest), (iii) the Collection Agent shall pay to the Transferor any remaining Collections set aside and held by the Collection Agent pursuant to the third sentence of this Section 2.6 and (iv) the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the applicable Class Investor(s), shall execute and deliver to the Transferor, at the Transferors expense, such documents or instruments as are necessary to terminate the Class Investors respective interests in the Affected Assets. Any such documents shall be prepared by or on behalf of the Transferor. On the last day of each Tranche Period, the Collection Agent shall remit to the Transferor such portion of Collections set aside for the Transferor pursuant to this Section 2.6.

Section 2.7 Fees. Notwithstanding any limitation on recourse contained in this Agreement, the Transferor shall pay, on the last day of each month, to the Administrative Agent, for distribution to the Class Investors, in each case as agreed between themselves, all of the applicable Program Fee and the applicable Facility Fee.

The Transferor shall, and will cause the Seller to, upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent or any of the Class Investors, obtain such additional search reports as the Administrative Agent or any of the Class Investors shall request. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to sign and file continuation statements and amendments thereto and assignments thereof without the Transferors or the Sellers signature. The Transferor shall not, and shall not permit the Seller to, change its respective name, identity or corporate structure (within the meaning of Section 9-402(7) of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York, Delaware or California, as applicable,) nor relocate its respective chief executive office or any office where Records are kept unless it shall have: (i) given the Administrative Agent at least thirty (30) days prior notice thereof and (ii) prepared at Transferors expense and delivered to the Administrative Agent all financing statements, instruments and other documents necessary to preserve and protect the Transferred Interest or requested by the Administrative Agent or any Class Agent in connection with such change or relocation.

The Net Investment with respect to each Class shall be reduced by the amount of such payment applied to the reduction of such Net Investment, and actually received by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Class Investors.
41
(c) Any payment by an Obligor (or by a Financing Party on its behalf) in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to the Transferor shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by contract or law and unless otherwise instructed by the Administrative Agent, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable of such Obligor included in the Transferred Interest (starting with the oldest such Receivable) to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other indebtedness of such Obligor.

Funds on deposit in the Collection Account (other than investment earnings) shall be invested by the Administrative Agent in Eligible Investments that will mature so that such funds will be available prior to the last day of each successive Tranche Period following such investment. On the last day of each calendar month, all interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) on funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall be retained in the Collection Account and be available to make any payments required to be made hereunder (including any Discount) to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Class Investors.

Section 2.14 Rights of Set-off. Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 2.13, each Class Investor is hereby authorized (in addition to any other rights it may have) at any time after the occurrence of the Termination Date for its Class or during the continuance of a Termination Event or a Potential Termination Event for its Class to set-off, appropriate and apply (without presentment, demand, protest or other notice which are hereby expressly waived) any deposits and any other indebtedness held or owing by such Class Investor to, or for the account of, the Transferor against the amount of the Aggregate Unpaids owing by the Transferor to such Class Investor (even if contingent or unmatured).

Each of the Transferor, the Administrative Agent and the Class Investors hereby appoints as its agent the Collection Agent, from time to time designated pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof, to enforce its respective rights and interests in and under the Affected Assets. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Transferor and the Seller (to the extent not then acting as Collection Agent hereunder) hereby grants to any Collection Agent appointed hereunder an irrevocable power of attorney to take any and all steps in the Transferors and/or the Sellers name and on behalf of the Transferor or the Seller necessary or desirable, in the reasonable determination of the Collection Agent, to collect all amounts due under any and all Receivables, including, without limitation, endorsing the Transferors and/or the Sellers name on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Receivables and the related Contracts.

The Collection Agent shall segregate and deposit to the Administrative Agents account each Class Investors allocable share of Collections of Receivables when required pursuant to Article II hereof. So long as no Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing for any Class, the Collection Agent may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity of Receivables, but not beyond 60 days, and extend the maturity or adjust the Outstanding Balance as the Collection Agent may determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof; provided, however, that such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or a Defaulted Receivable. The Transferor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent all Records which evidence or relate to Receivables or Related Security. The Administrative Agent shall forward all such Records to the Collection Agent and the Collection Agent shall hold in trust for the Transferor and the Class Investors, in accordance with their respective interests, such Records.

If the Collection Agent is not Tech Data or the Transferor or any Affiliate of the Transferor or Tech Data, the Collection Agent, by giving three Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, may revise the percentage used to calculate the Servicing Fee so long as the revised percentage will not result in a Servicing Fee that exceeds 110% of the reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such Collection Agent incurred in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder as documented to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent. The Collection Agent, if other than Tech Data, shall as soon as practicable upon demand, deliver to the Transferor all Records in its possession which evidence or relate to indebtedness of an Obligor which is not a Receivable, and copies of Records in its possession which evidence or relate to Receivables.

If at any time prior to any assignment by any Class Conduit to its related Bank Investors as contemplated pursuant to this Section 10.7, the short term debt rating of any Bank Investor shall be A-2, P-2 or F-2 from Standard & Poors, Moodys or Fitch, respectively, with negative credit implications (and there is no fronting arrangement or other arrangement in place which is acceptable to the Transferor and the Administrative Agent), such Bank Investor upon request of the applicable Class Agent shall, within 30 days of such request, assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another financial institution (which institutions short term debt shall be rated at least A-2, P-2 and F-2 from Standard & Poors, Moodys and Fitch, respectively, and which shall not be so rated with negative credit implications). If the short term debt rating of a Bank Investor shall be A-3, P-3 or F-3, or lower, from Standard & Poors, Moodys or Fitch, respectively (or such rating shall have been withdrawn by Standard & Poors, Moodys or Fitch), such Bank Investor upon request of the applicable Class Agent shall, within five (5) Business Days of such request, assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another financial institution (which institutions short term debt shall be rated at least A-2, P-2 and F-2 from Standard & Poors, Moodys and Fitch, respectively, and which shall not be so rated with negative credit implications). In either such case, if any such Bank Investor shall not have assigned its rights and obligations under this Agreement within the applicable time period described above the related Class Conduit shall have the right to require such Bank Investor to accept the assignment of such Bank Investors Pro Rata Share of the applicable Net Investment; such assignment shall occur in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Section 10.7. Such Bank Investor shall be obligated to pay to the applicable Class Conduit in connection with such assignment, in addition to the Pro Rata Share of the applicable Net Investment an amount equal to the interest component of the outstanding Commercial Paper issued to fund the portion of the applicable Net Investment being assigned to such Bank Investor as reasonably determined by the applicable Class Agent. In addition, such Bank Investor shall pay to the applicable Class Agent the amount (the Unused Commitment Amount) of any unused Commitment of such downgraded Bank Investor. The applicable Class Agent shall deposit such Unused Commitment Amount in an account of such Class Agents name, and shall apply such amounts to fund such Bank Investors Pro Rata Share of any Incremental Transfer required to be funded by such Bank Investors subject to the terms and conditions hereof. The proceeds of such account shall be invested in Eligible Investments and any investment income with respect thereto shall be paid to the applicable Bank Investor on a monthly basis. All amounts remaining in such account shall be released to such Bank Investor on the Business Day immediately following the earliest of: (x) the effective date of any replacement of such Bank Investor or removal thereof as a party to this Agreement, (y) the date on which such Bank Investor shall furnish the applicable Class Agent with evidence that its short term debt rating is higher than A-2, P-2 or F-2 from Standard & Poors, Moodys and Fitch, respectively, and (z) the applicable Termination Date (except for a Reinvestment Termination Date). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, upon any such assignment to a downgraded Bank Investor as contemplated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the aggregate available amount of the Aggregate Facility Limit, solely as it relates to new Incremental Transfers by any Class Conduit shall be reduced by the amount of unused Commitment of such downgraded Bank Investor; it being understood and agreed, that nothing in this sentence or the two preceding sentences shall affect or diminish in any way any such downgraded Bank Investors Commitment to the Transferor or such downgraded Bank Investors other obligations and liabilities hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents.

MISCELLANEOUS
Section 11.1 Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall terminate on the date following all of the Termination Dates upon which the Aggregate Net Investment has been reduced to zero, all accrued Discount and all Servicing Fees have been paid in full, and all other Aggregate Unpaids have been paid in full, in each case, in cash; provided, however, that (i) the rights and remedies of each Class Agent, the Class Investors and the Administrative Agent with respect to any representation and warranty made or deemed to be made by the Transferor pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) the indemnification and payment provisions of Article VIII, (iii) Tech Datas obligations under Article IX and (iv) the agreements set forth in Section 11.8 and 11.9 hereof, shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
Section 11.2 Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay on the part of any Class Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Class Investor in exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
87
(b) Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Transferor, the Administrative Agent, each Class Conduit (so long as such Class Conduit holds any portion of the Transferred Interest), each Class Agent and the Majority Investors; provided, that no such amendment or waiver shall, without the prior written consent of all Bank Investors, amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement in any way which would reduce or impair Collections or the payment of the applicable Net Investment, Discount or fees payable hereunder to the Bank Investors; provided further, that no such amendment or waiver shall, without the prior written consent of each Bank Investor directly affected thereby, amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement in any way which would (A) increase the Servicing Fee (other than as permitted pursuant to Section 6.2(b)), (B) modify any provision of this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement relating to the timing of payments required to be made by the Transferor or the Seller or the application of the proceeds of such payments, (C)permit the appointment of any Person (other than the Administrative Agent) as successor Collection Agent, or (D) release any property from the lien provided by this Agreement (other than as expressly contemplated herein). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, the Transferor, Tech Data and the applicable Class Conduit and Bank Investor(s) may amend this Agreement to (A) increase the dollar amount of any Bank Investors Commitment (and similarly increase the Facility Limit and the Maximum Net Investment) or (B) increase the Facility Limit (and similarly increase the Maximum Net Investment) by adding a financial institution as a Bank Investor party hereto; provided, that in each case after giving effect to any such amendment the aggregate of the respective Bank Investors Commitment at least equals the applicable Facility Limit. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (but subject to the first, second and third provisions set forth in this Section 11.2(b)), this Agreement may be amended by the Transferor, the Collection Agent and the Administrative Agent solely for the purpose of adding an additional Class (which addition may result in an increased Facility Limit and Maximum Net Investment and changes to any definitions or terms of this Agreement which are specific to one or more particular Classes).
(c) In addition to the provisions set forth in Section 11.2(b) in respect of increasing any applicable Maximum Net Investment, Facility Limit or Commitment, the Transferor may make a written request to one or more Classes, within each Class to their respective Class Agent, Class Conduit and Bank Investor(s), to increase the Maximum Net Investment, the Facility Limit and/or the Bank Investors Commitment for such Class. Any such request shall (i) set forth with specificity the dollar amounts of the requested increases and the requested date of the effectiveness of such increases, (ii) specifically state that upon acceptance of such request by the applicable Class Agent, Class Conduit and Bank Investor(s) this Agreement shall be deemed to have been amended and supplemented to reflect the increased Maximum Net Investment and Facility Limit in respect of the applicable Class and Commitment of the Bank Investor(s) in such Class, and (iii) be signed by the Transferor and the Collection Agent. Any Class Agent, Class Investor and/or Bank Investor(s) to which any such request is made may, in their sole and absolute discretion, agree to any such request, and if accepted, such request shall be accepted within a period of five (5) Business Days and upon such acceptance this Agreement shall be supplemented by a writing signed by the applicable Class Agent(s), Bank Investor(s) and Class Conduit(s) setting forth the new Maximum Net Investment, Facility Limit and/or Commitment for each applicable Class and the effective date of any such increase, provided, however, that with respect to any Class, the Facility Limit for such Class shall not at any time exceed the aggregate Commitments for the Bank Investor(s) in such Class. The parties hereto agree that upon the execution of any such supplement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended as provided by such supplement and shall be binding on the parties hereto as so supplemented. Unless otherwise agreed, the terms of any fee letter in effect between the Transferor, the Collection Agent and the applicable Class Conduit(s), Class Agent(s) and/or Bank Investor(s) shall continue in effect with respect to any such increased amounts. In connection with the effectiveness of any such supplement, the Transferor shall deliver an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the applicable Class Agent(s) in respect of corporate matters and the enforceability of this Agreement, as so supplemented, against the Collection Agent and the Transferor.
88

Except as provided below, all communications and notices provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including bank wire, telex, telecopy or electronic facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to the other party at its address or telecopy number set forth below or at such other address or telecopy number as such party may hereafter specify for the purposes of notice to such party.

The Transferor agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation of each telephonic notice signed by an authorized officer of Transferor (which confirmation the Administrative Agent shall forward to the applicable Class Agent). However, the absence of such confirmation shall not affect the validity of such notice. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by any Class Conduit the records of such Class Conduit shall govern absent manifest error.

The Transferor hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Nothing in this Section 11.4 shall affect the right of any Class Investor to bring any action or proceeding against the Transferor or its property in the courts of other jurisdictions.

Section 11.5 Severability; Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Execution and delivery of this Agreement may be made by facsimile. Any provisions of this Agreement which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 11.6 Successors and Assigns.
(a) This Agreement shall be binding on the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that the Transferor may not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Investors. No provision of this Agreement shall in any manner restrict the ability of any Class Conduit to assign, participate, grant security interests in, or otherwise transfer any portion of the Transferred Interest held by it.
(b) The Transferor hereby agrees and consents to the assignment by any Class Conduit from time to time of all or any part of its rights under, interest in and title to this Agreement and the Transferred Interest held by it to any related Liquidity Provider. In addition, the Transferor hereby consents to and acknowledges the assignment by any Class Conduit of all of its rights under, interest in and title to this Agreement and the Transferred Interest held by it to the related Collateral Agent.
92

Upon and to the extent of such assignment by such Class Conduit to a Conduit Assignee, (i) such Conduit Assignee shall be the owner of the assigned portion of such Net Investment, (ii) the related administrative or managing agent for such Conduit Assignee will act as the Class Agent for such Conduit Assignee, with all corresponding rights and powers, express or implied, granted to the applicable Class Agent hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents, (iii) such Conduit Assignee and its liquidity support provider(s) and credit support provider(s) and other related parties shall have the benefit of all the rights and protections provided to such Class Conduit and its Liquidity Support Provider(s) and Credit Support Provider(s), respectively, herein and in the other Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, any limitation on recourse against such Conduit Assignee or related parties, any agreement not to file or join in the filing of a petition to commence an insolvency proceeding against such Conduit Assignee, and the right to assign to another Conduit Assignee as provided in this paragraph), (iv) such Conduit Assignee shall assume all (or the assigned or assumed portion) of such Class Conduits obligations, if any, hereunder or any other Transaction Document, and such Class Conduit shall be released from such obligations, in each case to the extent of such assignment, and the obligations of such Class Conduit and such Conduit Assignee shall be several and not joint, (v) all distributions in respect of such Net Investment shall be made to the applicable agent or administrative agent, as applicable, on behalf of such Class Conduit and such Conduit Assignee on a pro rata basis according to their respective interests, (vi) the definition of the term CP Rate with respect to the portion of such Net Investment funded with commercial paper issued by such Class Conduit from time to time shall be determined in the manner set forth in the definition of CP Rate applicable to such Class Conduit on the basis of the interest rate or discount applicable to commercial paper issued by such Conduit Assignee (rather than such Class Conduit), (vii) the defined terms and other terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, and (viii) if requested by the Administrative Agent or the agent or administrative agent with respect to the Conduit Assignee, the parties will execute and deliver such further agreements and documents and take such other actions as the Administrative Agent or such agent or administrative agent may reasonably request to evidence and give effect to the foregoing. No Assignment by such Class Conduit to a Conduit Assignee of all or any portion of its Net Investment shall in any way diminish the related Bank Investors obligation under Section 10.7 to fund any Incremental Transfer not funded by such Class Conduit or such Conduit Assignee or to acquire from such Class Conduit or such Conduit Assignee all or any portion of the applicable Net Investment.

to a Federal Reserve Bank, the U.S. Treasury or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, without notice to or consent of the Transferor, the Administrative Agent any other Person; provided, however, that no such pledge or grant of a
security interest shall release a any Bank Investor from any of its obligations hereunder, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Bank Investor as a party hereto.

CP Rate shall mean for any CP Tranche Period, unless otherwise provided for under the Transaction Documents, the sum of (i) discount or yield accrued on Falcon pooled Commercial Paper during such Tranche Period, plus (ii) any and all accrued commissions in respect of placement agents and Commercial Paper dealers, and issuing and paying agent fees incurred, in respect of such pooled Commercial Paper for such Tranche Period plus (iii) other costs associated with funding small or odd-lot amounts with respect to all receivable purchase facilities which are funded by Falcon pooled Commercial Paper for such Tranche Period, minus (iv) any accrual of income net of expenses received during such Tranche Period from investment of collections received under all receivable purchase facilities funded substantially with Falcon pooled Commercial Paper, minus (v) any payment received during such Tranche Period net of expenses in respect of broken funding costs related to the prepayment of any portion of the Net Investment of Falcon pursuant to the terms of any receivable purchase facilities funded substantially with pooled Commercial Paper. In addition to the foregoing costs, if Seller shall request from Falcon any Incremental Transfer during any period of time determined by the Class Agent in its sole discretion to result in an incrementally higher CP Rate applicable to such Incremental Transfer, the Net Investment associated with any such Incremental Transfer shall, during such period, be deemed to be funded by Falcon in a special pool (which may include capital associated with other receivable purchase facilities) for purposes of determining such additional CP Rate applicable only to such special pool and charged each day during such period against such Net Investment.

ANNEX 3
CP Rate Definition for Liberty
CP Rate shall mean for any CP Tranche Period, the per annum rate equivalent to the weighted average cost (as defined below) related to the issuance of Commercial Paper that is allocated, in whole or in part, to fund Libertys Net Investment (and which may also be allocated in part to the funding of other assets of Liberty); provided, however, that if any component of such rate described above is a discount rate in calculating the CP Rate for Libertys Net Investment for such CP Tranche Period, the rate used to calculate such component of such rate shall be a rate resulting from converting such discount rate to an interest bearing equivalent rate per annum. As used in this definition, the weighted average cost shall consist of (A) the actual interest rate (or discount) paid to purchasers of Commercial Paper issued by Liberty (other than the commissions of placement agents and dealers), (B) certain documentation and transaction costs associated with the issuance of such Commercial Paper, (C) any incremental carrying costs incurred with respect to Commercial Paper maturing on dates other than those on which corresponding funds are received by the related Class Agent on behalf of Liberty, and (D) other borrowing by Liberty (other than under any program support agreement), including to fund small or odd dollar amounts that are not easily accommodated in the commercial paper market.

Fair Value Of Financial Instruments | |
Fair Value Of Financial Instruments | NOTE 7 — FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company carries its assets and liabilities at fair value and classifies and discloses its assets and liabilities in one of the following three categories: Level 1 – quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2 – inputs other than quoted market prices included in level 1 above that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and, Level 3 –unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The Company's foreign currency forward contracts are measured on a recurring basis based on foreign currency spot rates and forward rates quoted by banks or foreign currency dealers (level 2 criteria) and are marked-to-market each period with gains and losses on these contracts recorded in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Income on a basis consistent with the classification of the change in the fair value of the underlying transactions giving rise to these foreign currency exchange gains and losses in the period in which their value changes, with the offsetting amount for unsettled positions being included in either other current assets or other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The fair value of the Company's outstanding foreign currency forward contracts at July 31, 2011 and 2010 was an unrealized gain of $5.5 million and $4.7 million, respectively, and an unrealized loss of $13.6 million and $12.4 million, respectively (see further discussion below in Note 8 – Derivative Instruments).
The Company utilizes life insurance policies to fund certain of the Company's nonqualified employee benefit plans. The investments contained within the life insurance policies are marked-to-market each period by analyzing the change in the underlying value of the invested assets (level 2 criteria) and the gains and losses are recorded in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Income. The related deferred compensation liability is also marked-to-market each period based upon the various investment return alternatives selected by the participants of the nonqualified employee benefit plans (level 2 criteria) and the gains and losses are recorded in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Income. The $350.0 million of convertible senior debentures are carried at cost, less unamortized debt discount. The estimated fair value of the convertible senior debentures was approximately $358.3 million at July 31, 2011, based upon quoted market information (level 1 criteria). The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. The carrying amount of debt outstanding pursuant to revolving credit facilities and loans payable approximates fair value as the majority of these instruments have variable interest rates which approximate current market rates (level 2 criteria). |

In addition, beginning with the period commencing on December 20, 2011 and ending on June 15, 2012 and for each six-month period thereafter, the Company will pay contingent interest on the interest payment date for the applicable interest period if the market price of the debentures equals specified levels. The debentures are redeemable in whole or in part for cash at the Company's option at any time on or after December 20, 2011. The convertible senior debentures are convertible into the Company's common stock and cash, any time after June 15, 2026, or i) if the market price of the common stock, as defined, exceeds 135% of the conversion price per share of common stock or ii) if the Company calls the debentures for redemption or iii) upon occurrence of certain corporate transactions, as defined. Holders have the right to convert the debentures into cash and shares of the Company's common stock, if any, at a conversion rate of 18.4310 shares per $1,000 principal amount of debentures, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $54.26 per share. Upon conversion, the Company will deliver cash equal to the lesser of the aggregate principal amount of the debentures to be converted and the Company's total conversion obligation and shares of the Company's common stock in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Company's conversion obligation. Holders have the option to require the Company to repurchase the debentures in cash on any of the fifth, tenth or fifteenth anniversary dates from the issue date at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest to the repurchase date. As a result of this repurchase obligation, the Company has classified the convertible senior debentures as current debt on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet at both July 31, 2011 and January 31, 2011. The debentures are senior, unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company's other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The debentures are effectively subordinated to all of the Company's existing and future secured debt and are structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company's foreign subsidiaries. In accordance with the accounting rules regarding the accounting treatment for convertible debt instruments requiring or permitting partial cash settlement upon conversion, the Company has accounted for the debt and equity components of the debentures in a manner that reflects the estimated non-convertible debt borrowing rate at the date of the issuance of the debentures at 6.30%. Under this accounting treatment, during the three and six months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company has recorded contractual interest expense of $2.4 million and $4.8 million, respectively, and non-cash interest expense of $2.5 million and $5.0 million, respectively, related to the $350 million convertible senior debentures. At July 31, 2011, the if-converted value of the convertible senior debentures did not exceed the principal balance and the $3.9 million unamortized debt discount has a remaining amortization period of approximately five months assuming redemption of the debentures at the first repurchase date in December 2011. Loans Payable to Brightstar Corporation In October 2010, Brightstar Corporation ("Brightstar") entered into an agreement to loan Brightstar Europe Limited ("BEL"), a joint venture between the Company and Brightstar, its share of the funding requirements related to BEL's acquisition of MCC ("the Acquisition Loan"). The Acquisition Loan from Brightstar, plus any accrued interest, has a repayment date of September 2015, or earlier if agreed between the two parties, and bears interest at the applicable LIBOR rate plus 4.0% per year, which is payable annually on October 1. The Company also has an interest-free revolving credit loan from Brightstar that was issued in connection with the operations of BEL ("the Brightstar Revolver"). The terms of the Brightstar Revolver contain no contractual repayment date and allow for the revolving credit loan to increase or decrease in accordance with the working capital requirements of BEL, as determined by the Company. Effective October 2010, a resolution of BEL's board was approved stating that the Brightstar Revolver will not be repaid for the foreseeable future and therefore the revolving credit loan is classified as long-term debt within the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet at both July 31, 2011 and January 31, 2011. Other Credit Facilities The Company has an agreement (the "Receivables Securitization Program") with a syndicate of banks that allows the Company to transfer an undivided interest in a designated pool of U.S. accounts receivable, on an ongoing basis, to provide security or collateral for borrowings up to a maximum of $300.0 million. Under this program, which was renewed in August 2011, the Company legally isolates certain U.S. trade receivables into a wholly-owned bankruptcy remote special purpose entity. Such receivables, which are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, totaled $636.6 million and $549.8 million at July 31, 2011 and January 31, 2011, respectively. As collections reduce accounts receivable balances included in the security or collateral pool, the Company may transfer interests in new receivables to bring the amount available to be borrowed up to the maximum. The Company pays interest on advances under the Receivables Securitization Program at the applicable commercial paper or LIBOR rate plus an agreed-upon margin. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of .35% per annum on the unused portion of the Receivables Securitization Program. There are no amounts outstanding under this program at either July 31, 2011 or January 31, 2011.
Under the terms of the Company's Multi-currency Revolving Credit Facility with a syndicate of banks, the Company is able to borrow funds in major foreign currencies up to a maximum of $250.0 million. Under this facility, which expires in March 2012, the Company has provided either a pledge of stock or a guarantee of certain of its significant subsidiaries. The Company pays interest on advances under this facility at the applicable LIBOR rate plus a margin based on the Company's credit ratings. The Company can fix the interest rate for periods of seven to 180 days under various interest rate options. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of .125% per annum on the unused portion of the Multi-currency Revolving Credit Facility. There are no amounts outstanding under this facility at either July 31, 2011 or January 31, 2011.
In addition to the facilities described above, the Company has various other committed and uncommitted lines of credit and overdraft facilities totaling approximately $604.0 million at July 31, 2011 to support its operations. Most of these facilities are provided on an unsecured, short-term basis and are reviewed periodically for renewal. The total capacity of the other credit facilities discussed above, as well as the maximum borrowings under the facilities, was approximately $1.0 billion, of which $77.6 million was outstanding at July 31, 2011. The Company's credit facilities contain limitations on the amounts of annual dividends and repurchases of common stock. Additionally, the credit facilities require compliance with certain warranties and covenants. The financial ratio covenants contained within the credit facilities include a debt to capitalization ratio, an interest to EBITDA (as defined per the credit agreements) ratio and a tangible net worth requirement. At July 31, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants. The ability to draw funds under these credit facilities is dependent upon sufficient collateral (in the case of the Receivables Securitization Program) and meeting the aforementioned financial covenants, which may limit the Company's ability to draw the full amount of these facilities. At July 31, 2011, the Company had also issued standby letters of credit of $81.4 million. These letters of credit typically act as a guarantee of payment to certain third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions. The issuance of these letters of credit may reduce the Company's available capacity under the above-mentioned facilities by the same amount. |

Commitments And Contingencies | |
Commitments And Contingencies | NOTE 9 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Guarantees As is customary in the IT industry, to encourage certain customers to purchase products from Tech Data, the Company has arrangements with certain finance companies that provide inventory financing facilities to the Company's customers. In conjunction with certain of these arrangements, the Company would be required to purchase certain inventory in the event the inventory is repossessed from the customers by the finance companies. As the Company does not have access to information regarding the amount of inventory purchased from the Company still on hand with the customer at any point in time, the Company's repurchase obligations relating to inventory cannot be reasonably estimated. Repurchases of inventory by the Company under these arrangements have been insignificant to date. The Company believes that, based on historical experience, the likelihood of a material loss pursuant to these inventory repurchase obligations is remote. The Company provides additional financial guarantees to finance companies on behalf of certain customers. The majority of these guarantees are for an indefinite period of time, where the Company would be required to perform if the customer is in default with the finance company related to purchases made from the Company. The Company reviews the underlying credit for these guarantees on at least an annual basis. As of July 31, 2011 and January 31, 2011, the aggregate amount of guarantees under these arrangements totaled approximately $65.5 million and $62.1 million, respectively, of which approximately $40.6 million and $43.0 million, respectively, was outstanding. The Company believes that, based on historical experience, the likelihood of a material loss pursuant to the above guarantees is remote. Contingencies Prior to fiscal 2004, one of the Company's European subsidiaries was audited in relation to various value-added tax ("VAT") matters. As a result of those audits, the subsidiary received notices of assessment that allege the subsidiary did not properly collect and remit VAT. It is management's opinion, based upon the opinion of outside legal counsel, that the Company has valid defenses related to a substantial portion of these assessments. Although the Company is vigorously pursuing administrative and judicial action to challenge the assessments, no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome. The resolution of such assessments will not be material to the Company's consolidated financial position; however, it could be material to the Company's operating results for any particular period, depending upon the level of income for such period. In December 2010, in a non-unanimous decision, a Brazilian appellate court overturned a 2003 trial court which had previously ruled in favor of the Company's Brazilian subsidiary related to the imposition of certain taxes on payments abroad related to the licensing of commercial software products, commonly referred to as "CIDE tax". The Company estimates the total exposure where the CIDE tax, including interest, may be considered due, to be approximately $35.1 million as of July 31, 2011. The Brazilian subsidiary has moved for clarification of the ruling and intends to appeal if the court does not rule in its favor. However, in order to pursue the next level of appeal, the Brazilian subsidiary may be required to make a deposit or to provide a guarantee to the courts for the payment of the CIDE tax pending the outcome of the appeal, which will be reflected in the Brazilian subsidiary's financial statements at such time. Based on the legal opinion of outside counsel, the Company believes that the chances of success on appeal of this matter are favorable and the Brazilian subsidiary intends to vigorously defend its position that the CIDE tax is not due. However, no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome of this matter. The resolution of this litigation will not be material to the Company's consolidated financial position or liquidity; however, it could be material to the Company's operating results for any particular period, depending on the level of income for such period. In addition to the discussion regarding the CIDE tax above, the Company's Brazilian subsidiary has been undergoing several examinations of non-income related taxes. Due to the complex nature of the Brazilian tax system, the Company is unable to determine the likelihood of these examinations resulting in assessments. Such assessments cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, but could be material to the Company's consolidated results of operations for any particular period, depending on the level of income for such period. However, the Company believes such assessments, if they were to occur, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or liquidity. The Company is subject to various other legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company's management does not expect that the outcome in any of these other legal proceedings, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. |

Segment Information | NOTE 10 — SEGMENT INFORMATION Tech Data operates predominately in a single industry segment as a distributor of technology products, logistics management, and other value-added services. While the Company operates primarily in one industry it is managed based on geographic segments: the Americas (including North America and South America) and Europe. The Company assesses performance of and makes decisions on how to allocate resources to its operating segments based on multiple factors including current and projected operating income and market opportunities. The Company does not consider stock-based compensation expense in assessing the performance of its operating segments, and therefore the Company reports stock-based compensation expense as a separate amount. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1—Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Financial information by geographic segment is as follows:

Derivative Instruments | |
Derivative Instruments | NOTE 8 — DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates resulting from the Company's international transactions in Europe, Canada and Latin America, where the currency collected from customers can be different from the currency used to purchase the product. The Company's foreign currency risk management objective is to protect earnings and cash flows from the impact of exchange rate changes primarily through the use of foreign currency forward contracts to hedge both intercompany and third party loans, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. These derivatives are not designated as hedging instruments. The Company employs established policies and procedures to manage the exposure to fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies. It is the Company's policy to utilize financial instruments to reduce risks where internal netting cannot be effectively employed. Additionally, the Company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The Company considers inventory as an economic hedge against foreign currency exposure in accounts payable in certain circumstances. This practice offsets such inventory against corresponding accounts payable denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the subsidiary buying the inventory, when determining the net exposure to be hedged using traditional forward contracts. Under this strategy, the Company would expect to increase or decrease selling prices for product purchased in foreign currencies based on fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates affecting the underlying accounts payable. To the extent the Company incurs a foreign currency exchange loss (gain) on the underlying accounts payable denominated in the foreign currency, a corresponding increase (decrease) in gross profit would be expected as the related inventory is sold. This strategy can result in a certain degree of quarterly earnings volatility, as the underlying accounts payable is remeasured using the foreign currency exchange rate prevailing at the end of each period, or settlement date if earlier, whereas the corresponding increase (decrease) in gross profit may not be realized until the related inventory is sold. The Company classifies foreign currency exchange gains and losses on its derivative instruments used to manage its exposures to foreign currency denominated accounts receivable and accounts payable as a component of "cost of products sold" which is consistent with the classification of the change in fair value upon remeasurement of the underlying hedged accounts receivable or accounts payable. The Company classifies foreign currency exchange gains and losses on its derivative instruments used to manage its exposures to foreign currency denominated financing transactions as a component of "other (income) expense, net" which is consistent with the classification of the change in fair value upon remeasurement of the underlying hedged loans. The total amount recognized in earnings on the Company's foreign currency forward contracts, of which the majority is included as a component of "cost of products sold", was a net foreign currency exchange loss of $4.1 million and $2.7 million for the quarters ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and a net foreign currency exchange loss of $11.4 million and $3.7 million for the six months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The gains and losses on the Company's foreign currency forward contracts are largely offset by the change in the fair value of the underlying hedged assets or liabilities. The Company's foreign currency forward contracts are also discussed in Note 7 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments. |

Business And Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies |
NOTE 1 — BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Description of Business Tech Data Corporation ("Tech Data" or the "Company") is one of the world's largest wholesale distributors of technology products. The Company serves as a strategic link in the technology supply chain by bringing products from the world's leading technology vendors to market, as well as providing customers with advanced logistics capabilities and value added services. Tech Data's customers include value added resellers, direct marketers, retailers and corporate resellers who support the diverse technology needs of end users. The Company is managed in two geographic segments: the Americas (including North America and South America) and Europe. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tech Data and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Noncontrolling interest is recognized for the portion of a consolidated joint venture not owned by the Company. The Company operates on a fiscal year that ends on January 31.
Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S.GAAP"). These principles require 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of July 31, 2011 and its results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010.
Seasonality The Company's quarterly operating results have fluctuated significantly in the past and will likely continue to do so in the future as a result of currency fluctuations and seasonal variations in the demand for the products and services offered. Narrow operating margins may magnify the impact of these factors on our operating results. Recent historical seasonal variations have included an increase in European demand during the Company's fiscal fourth quarter and decreased demand in other fiscal quarters, particularly quarters that include summer months. Given that over one half of the Company's revenues are derived from Europe, the worldwide results closely follow the seasonality trends in Europe. Additionally, the life cycles of major products, as well as the impact of future acquisitions and dispositions, may also materially impact the Company's business, financial condition, or consolidated results of operations. Therefore, the results of operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the entire fiscal year ending January 31, 2012.
Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity (net assets) of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources, and is comprised of "net income" and "other comprehensive income (loss)." Comprehensive income (loss) attributable to the shareholders of the Company for the three and six months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:
Comprehensive income attributable to shareholders of the Company increased significantly during the six months ended July 31, 2011 as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year primarily as a result of the strengthening of most currencies in which the Company operates in comparison to the U.S. dollar during the period.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standard which modifies the two-step goodwill impairment testing process for entities that have a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform step two of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment exists. This accounting standard is effective for the Company beginning with the quarter ending April 30, 2011. The Company has adopted this standard for the quarter ended April 30, 2011, which had no impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In October 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard requiring an entity to allocate revenue arrangement consideration at the inception of a multiple-deliverable revenue arrangement to all of its deliverables based on their relative selling prices. This accounting standard is effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified by the Company beginning February 1, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this standard effective February 1, 2011, which did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In October 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard addressing how entities account for revenue arrangements that contain both hardware and software elements. Due to the significant difference in the level of evidence required for separation of multiple deliverables within different accounting standards, this particular accounting standard will modify the scope of accounting guidance for software revenue recognition. Many tangible products containing software and non-software components that function together to deliver the tangible products' essential functionality will be accounted for under the revised multiple-element arrangement revenue recognition guidance discussed above. This accounting standard is effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified by the Company beginning February 1, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this standard effective February 1, 2011, which did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2011, the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") issued a new accounting standard that amends the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. This accounting standard does not extend the use of fair value accounting, but provides guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within U.S. GAAP or International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). This accounting standard is effective for the Company beginning with the quarter ending April 30, 2012. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In June 2011, the FASB issued a new accounting standard related to the presentation of comprehensive income. This standard requires presentation of comprehensive income in either a single statement of comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements. This standard does not change the definitions of the components of net income and other comprehensive income, when an item must be reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income, or earnings per share, which is calculated using net income. The standard further defines the approach for reporting tax impacts of comprehensive income and disclosure of amounts reclassified from comprehensive income to net income. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and must be applied retrospectively.

Income Taxes | |
Income Taxes | NOTE 4 — INCOME TAXES The Company's effective tax rate was 27.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 and 30.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. The Company's effective tax rate was 26.8% for the first semester of fiscal 2012 compared to 28.9% for the same period of the prior year. The decrease in the effective rate for the second quarter and first semester of fiscal 2012 compared to the same periods of the prior year is primarily the result of the relative mix of earnings and losses within the tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% during these periods primarily due to the relative mix of earnings or losses within the tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates such as: a) losses in tax jurisdictions where the Company is not able to record a tax benefit; b) earnings in tax jurisdictions where the Company has previously recorded a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets; and c) earnings in lower-tax jurisdictions for which no U.S. taxes have been provided because such earnings are planned to be reinvested indefinitely outside the United States. The overall effective tax rate will continue to be dependent upon the geographic distribution of the Company's earnings or losses, changes in tax laws, or interpretations of these laws in these operating jurisdictions. The Company monitors the assumptions used in estimating the annual effective tax rate and makes adjustments, if required, throughout the year. If actual results differ from the assumptions used in estimating the Company's annual effective income tax rates, future income tax expense could be materially affected. The Company's future effective tax rates could be affected by changes in the relative mix of taxable income and taxable loss jurisdictions, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets or liabilities or changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof. In addition, the Company's income tax returns are subject to continuous examination by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes from these examinations to determine the adequacy of the Company's provision for income taxes. To the extent the Company prevails in matters for which accruals have been established or is required to pay amounts in excess of such accruals, the effective tax rate could be materially affected. |

At July 31, 2011, the Company had awards outstanding from four equity-based compensation plans, only one of which is currently active. The active plan was approved by the Company's shareholders in June 2009 and includes 4.0 million shares available for grant of which approximately 3.2 million shares remain available for future grant at July 31, 2011. Under the active plan, the Company is authorized to award officers, employees, and non-employee members of the Board of Directors restricted stock, options to purchase common stock, maximum value stock-settled stock appreciation rights ("MV Stock-settled SARs"), maximum value options ("MVOs"), and performance awards that are dependent upon achievement of specified performance goals. Equity-based compensation awards have a maximum term of 10 years, unless a shorter period is specified by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors or is required under local law. Awards under the plans are priced as determined by the Compensation Committee, and under the terms of the Company's active equity-based compensation plan, are required to be priced at, or above, the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. Awards generally vest between one and four years from the date of grant.

Earnings Per Share ("EPS") |
NOTE 2 — EARNINGS PER SHARE ("EPS") The Company reports a dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to shareholders of Tech Data Corporation by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution related to equity-based incentives (as further discussed in Note 5 – Stock-Based Compensation) using the if-converted and treasury stock methods, where applicable. The computation of basic and diluted EPS is as follows:
At July 31, 2011 and 2010, there were 16,382 and 1,180,856 equity-based compensation awards, respectively, excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price was greater than the average market price, thereby resulting in an antidilutive effect. In December 2006, the Company issued $350.0 million of convertible senior debentures due 2026. The dilutive impact of the $350.0 million convertible senior debentures does not impact earnings per share at either July 31, 2011 or 2010 as the conditions for the contingent conversion feature have not been met (see further discussion in Note 3 — Debt). |

Description Of Business | Description of Business Tech Data Corporation ("Tech Data" or the "Company") is one of the world's largest wholesale distributors of technology products. The Company serves as a strategic link in the technology supply chain by bringing products from the world's leading technology vendors to market, as well as providing customers with advanced logistics capabilities and value added services. Tech Data's customers include value added resellers, direct marketers, retailers and corporate resellers who support the diverse technology needs of end users. The Company is managed in two geographic segments: the Americas (including North America and South America) and Europe. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Principles Of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tech Data and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Noncontrolling interest is recognized for the portion of a consolidated joint venture not owned by the Company. The Company operates on a fiscal year that ends on January 31. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Basis Of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S.GAAP"). These principles require 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of July 31, 2011 and its results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Seasonality | Seasonality The Company's quarterly operating results have fluctuated significantly in the past and will likely continue to do so in the future as a result of currency fluctuations and seasonal variations in the demand for the products and services offered. Narrow operating margins may magnify the impact of these factors on our operating results. Recent historical seasonal variations have included an increase in European demand during the Company's fiscal fourth quarter and decreased demand in other fiscal quarters, particularly quarters that include summer months. Given that over one half of the Company's revenues are derived from Europe, the worldwide results closely follow the seasonality trends in Europe. Additionally, the life cycles of major products, as well as the impact of future acquisitions and dispositions, may also materially impact the Company's business, financial condition, or consolidated results of operations. Therefore, the results of operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the entire fiscal year ending January 31, 2012. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Comprehensive Income (Loss) | Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity (net assets) of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources, and is comprised of "net income" and "other comprehensive income (loss)." Comprehensive income (loss) attributable to the shareholders of the Company for the three and six months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:
Comprehensive income attributable to shareholders of the Company increased significantly during the six months ended July 31, 2011 as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year primarily as a result of the strengthening of most currencies in which the Company operates in comparison to the U.S. dollar during the period. |

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards |
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standard which modifies the two-step goodwill impairment testing process for entities that have a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform step two of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment exists. This accounting standard is effective for the Company beginning with the quarter ending April 30, 2011. The Company has adopted this standard for the quarter ended April 30, 2011, which had no impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In October 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard requiring an entity to allocate revenue arrangement consideration at the inception of a multiple-deliverable revenue arrangement to all of its deliverables based on their relative selling prices. This accounting standard is effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified by the Company beginning February 1, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this standard effective February 1, 2011, which did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In October 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard addressing how entities account for revenue arrangements that contain both hardware and software elements. Due to the significant difference in the level of evidence required for separation of multiple deliverables within different accounting standards, this particular accounting standard will modify the scope of accounting guidance for software revenue recognition. Many tangible products containing software and non-software components that function together to deliver the tangible products' essential functionality will be accounted for under the revised multiple-element arrangement revenue recognition guidance discussed above.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards | Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2011, the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") issued a new accounting standard that amends the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. This accounting standard does not extend the use of fair value accounting, but provides guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within U.S. GAAP or International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). This accounting standard is effective for the Company beginning with the quarter ending April 30, 2012. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In June 2011, the FASB issued a new accounting standard related to the presentation of comprehensive income. This standard requires presentation of comprehensive income in either a single statement of comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements. This standard does not change the definitions of the components of net income and other comprehensive income, when an item must be reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income, or earnings per share, which is calculated using net income. The standard further defines the approach for reporting tax impacts of comprehensive income and disclosure of amounts reclassified from comprehensive income to net income. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and must be applied retrospectively. |
