NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

November 30, 2016

(Unaudited)

1.	Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of TSR, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed balance sheet as of May 31, 2016, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applying to interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of and for the three months and six months ended November 30, 2016 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for future interim periods or for the full year ending May 31, 2017. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2016.

2.	Net Income Per Common Share

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders of TSR, Inc. by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The Company had no stock options or other common stock equivalents outstanding during any of the periods presented.

3.	Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers short-term highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents were comprised of the following as of November 30, 2016 and May 31, 2016:

	November 30, 2016		May 31, 2016
Cash in banks	$	4,134,320	$	3,974,007
Money market funds		562,745		540,150
	$	4,697,065	$	4,514,157

4.	Revenue Recognition

The Company’s contract computer programming services are generally provided under time and materials arrangements with its customers. Revenue is recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. These conditions occur when a customer agreement is effected and the consultant performs the authorized services. Revenue is recorded net of all discounts and processing fees. Advances from customers represent amounts received from customers prior to the Company’s provision of the related services and credit balances from overpayments.

Reimbursements received by the Company for out-of-pocket expenses are characterized as revenue.

5.	Certificates of Deposit and Marketable Securities

The Company has characterized its investments in certificates of deposit and marketable securities, based on the priority of the inputs used to value the investments, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the investments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

Investments recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1- These are investments where values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in an active market the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2- These are investments where values are based on quoted market prices that are not active or model derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.

Level 3- These are investments where values are derived from techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.

The following are the major categories of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of November 30, 2016 and May 31, 2016 using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2) and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

November 30, 2016	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Certificates of Deposit	$	-	$	1,511,000	$	-	$	1,511,000
Equity Securities		27,760		-		-		27,760
	$	27,760	$	1,511,000	$	-	$	1,538,760

May 31, 2016	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Certificates of Deposit	$	-	$	1,528,000	$	-	$	1,528,000
Equity Securities		25,272		-		-		25,272
	$	25,272	$	1,528,000	$	-	$	1,553,272

Based upon the Company’s intent and ability to hold its certificates of deposit to maturity (which maturities range up to twelve months at purchase), such securities have been classified as held-to-maturity and are carried at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The Company’s equity securities are classified as trading securities, which are carried at fair value, as determined by quoted market prices, which is a Level 1 input, as established by the fair value hierarchy. The related unrealized gains and losses are included in earnings. The Company’s certificates of deposit and marketable securities at November 30, 2016 and May 31, 2016 are summarized as follows:

Certificates of Deposit	$	1,511,000	$	-	$	-	$	1,511,000
Equity Securities		16,866		10,894		-		27,760
	$	1,527,866	$	10,894	$	-	$	1 ,538,760

May 31, 2016	Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Holding Gains		Gross Unrealized Holding Losses		Recorded Value
Current
Certificates of Deposit	$	1,528,000	$	-	$	-	$	1,528,000

	$	1,544,866	$	8,406	$	-	$	1,553,272

The Company’s investments in marketable securities consist primarily of investments in certificates of deposit and equity securities. Market values were determined for each individual security in the investment portfolio. When evaluating the investments for other-than-temporary impairment, the Company reviews factors such as length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time, which may be sufficient for anticipated recovery in market values.

6.	Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. For cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts and other payables, accrued liabilities and advances from customers, the amounts presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements approximate fair value because of the short-term maturities of these instruments.

Equity

During the six months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not purchase any shares of its common stock. As of April 7, 2016, the previously announced repurchase plan was terminated with 56,318 shares remaining available for purchase.

8.	Other Matters

From time to time, the Company is party to various lawsuits, some involving material amounts. Management is not aware of any lawsuits that would have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial position of the Company.

9.	Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued an update to ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This update to ASC 606 provides a five-step process to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle of the guidance is that a company should recognize revenue upon transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the expected consideration to be received in exchange for those goods or services. This update to ASC 606 will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, providing guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively, and improving guidance for multiple-element arrangements. This update to ASC 606 is effective for the Company in the fiscal year ending May 31, 2018. The Company expects the impact of the update, if any, to be immaterial on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes,” which applies to the classification of deferred tax assets and liabilities. The update eliminates the requirement to classify deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent or current within a classified statement of financial position. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. This ASU should be applied prospectively with early adoption permitted at the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company will classify any deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2018.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” The amendments in this update require all equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income. The amendments in this update also require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. In addition, the amendments in this update eliminate the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities and the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet for public business entities. This update is effective for the Company in the fiscal year ending May 31, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of this update on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” This update includes a lease accounting model that recognizes two types of leases – finance leases and operating leases. The standard requires that a lessee recognize on the balance sheet assets and liabilities relating to leases with terms of more than 12 months. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. This update is effective for the Company in the fiscal year ending May 31, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of this update on its consolidated financial statements.

(Unaudited)

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Principal versus Agent Consideration (Topic 606).” This update contains guidance on principal versus agent assessments when a third party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer. It specifies that an entity is a principal, and thus records revenue on a gross basis, if it controls a good or service before transferring the good or service to the customer. An entity is an agent, and thus records revenue on a net basis, if it arranges for a good or service to be provided by another entity. This update is effective for the Company in the fiscal year ending May 31, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of this update on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, “Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (Topic 606).” This update provides certain clarifications to reduce potential diversity and to simplify the standard. The amendments in ASU 2016-12 clarify the following key areas: assessing collectibilty; presenting sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from customers; noncash consideration; contract modifications at transition; completed contracts at transition; and disclosing the accounting change in the period of adoption. This update is effective for the Company in the fiscal year ending May 31, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of this update on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company is under no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements.

Revenue

Revenue consists primarily of revenue from computer programming consulting services. Revenue for the quarter ended November 30, 2016 decreased $142,000 from the prior year quarter. While the overall average number of consultants on billing with customers increased from approximately 350 for the quarter ended November 30, 2015 to 368 for the quarter ended November 30, 2016, the average number of computer programming consultants decreased from 350 for the quarter ended November 30, 2015 to 326 in the quarter ended November 30, 2016. The 368 consultants on billing for the current quarter include 42 administrative workers that the Company placed with two large customers at billing rates 67.7% lower than those charged for computer programming consultants. The Company did not make any placements of administrative workers in the prior year quarter. The Company made these placements of administrative workers in the current quarter at the customers’ specific requests. The Company charges lower daily billing rates for administrative workers, but also pays lower rates to the administrative workers. The Company has not yet determined whether it will provide administrative placements on a more widespread basis in the future.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for the quarter ended November 30, 2016 decreased $226,000 or 1.8% to $12,453,000 from $12,679,000 in the prior year period. The decrease in cost of sales resulted primarily from a reduction of computer programming consultants placed with customers, offset by the placement of lower paid administrative workers at two major customers. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue decreased from 83.5% in the quarter ended November 30, 2015 to 82.8% in the quarter ended November 30, 2016. The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to the placement of administrative workers at higher average markups than the Company’s computer programming consultants. However, because their pay rates averaged 71.3% lower than the computer programming consultants, the daily gross profit in dollars is still lower for the administrative workers than the computer programming consultants.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of expenses relating to account executives, technical recruiters, facilities costs, management and corporate overhead. These expenses increased $103,000 or 4.6% from $2,242,000 in the quarter ended November 30, 2015 to $2,345,000 in the quarter ended November 30, 2016. The increase in these expenses primarily resulted from hiring additional recruiters to support the administrative placement opportunities. The Company expects selling, general and administrative expenses to continue to increase as more recruiters and sales executives are hired to stimulate growth. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenue, increased from 14.8% in the quarter ended November 30, 2015 to 15.6% in the quarter ended November 30, 2016 as a result of the additional recruiters hired.

Other Income

Other income for the quarter ended November 30, 2016 resulted primarily from interest and dividend income of $3,000 and a mark to market loss of $1,000 on the Company’s equity securities. Other income for the quarter ended November 30, 2015 resulted primarily from a mark to market gain of $5,000 on the Company’s equity securities and interest and dividend income of $2,000.

Income Taxes

The income tax provision included in the Company’s results of operations for the quarters ended November 30, 2016 and 2015 reflect the Company’s estimated effective tax rate for the years ending May 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. These rates were 44.5% for the quarter ended November 30, 2016 and 50.6% for the quarter ended November 30, 2015.

Net Income Attributable to TSR, Inc.

Net income attributable to TSR, Inc. increased $6,000 from $120,000 in the quarter ended November 30, 2015 to $126,000 in the quarter ended November 30, 2016. This increase was primarily attributable to a lower effective income tax rate.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenue, increased from 14.7% in the six months ended November 30, 2015 to 15.4% in the six months ended November 30, 2016 as a result of the additional recruiters hired.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company expects that its cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposit and marketable securities and cash flow provided by operations will be sufficient to provide the Company with adequate resources to meet its liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months. The Company does not maintain a line of credit facility with any banking institution.

At November 30, 2016, the Company had working capital (total current assets in excess of total current liabilities) of $9,591,000 including cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit and marketable securities of $6,236,000 as compared to working capital of $9,391,000 including cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit and marketable securities of $6,067,000 at May 31, 2016.

For the six months ended November 30, 2016, net cash provided by operating activities was $225,000 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $1,312,000 for the six months ended November 30, 2015. The cash provided by operating activities in the six months ended November 30, 2016 resulted primarily from consolidated net income of $293,000 and a decrease in accounts receivable of $638,000 offset by a decrease in accounts and other payables and accrued expenses and other liabilities of $434,000 and an increase in prepaid expenses of $167,000. The cash provided by operating activities in the six months ended November 30, 2015 resulted primarily from consolidated net income of $279,000 and a decrease in accounts receivable of $1,170,000 offset by a decrease in accounts and other payables and accrued expenses and other liabilities of $98,000.

Net cash provided by investing activities of $15,000 for the six months ended November 30, 2016 primarily resulted from not reinvesting a certificate of deposit. Net cash used in investing activities of $294,000 for the six months ended November 30, 2015 primarily resulted from investing in additional certificates of deposit.

In the six months ended November 30, 2016, net cash used in financing activities resulted from a distribution to the noncontrolling interest of $56,000, resulting primarily from the distribution of fiscal 2016 earnings from that entity. In the six months ended November 30, 2015, net cash used in financing activities resulted from a distribution to the noncontrolling interest of $8,000.

The Company’s capital resource commitments at November 30, 2016 consisted of lease obligations on its branch and corporate facilities. The Company intends to finance these lease commitments from cash flows provided by operations, available cash and short-term marketable securities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued an update to ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This update to ASC 606 provides a five-step process to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle of the guidance is that a company should recognize revenue upon transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the expected consideration to be received in exchange for those goods or services. This update to ASC 606 will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, providing guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively, and improving guidance for multiple-element arrangements. This update to ASC 606 is effective for the Company beginning in the fiscal year ending May 31, 2018. The Company expects the impact of the update, if any, to be immaterial on its consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Securities and Exchange Commission defines “critical accounting policies” as those that require the application of management’s most difficult subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, contained in its May 31, 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company believes that those accounting policies require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. There have been no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies as of November 30, 2016.
