SURGE COMPONENTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
NOTE A – ORGANIZATION, DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY'S BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
Surge Components, Inc. (“Surge”) was incorporated in the State of New York and commenced operations on November 24, 1981 as an importer of electronic products, primarily capacitors and discrete semi-conductors selling to customers located principally throughout North America. On June 24, 1988, Surge formed Challenge/Surge Inc. (“Challenge”), a wholly-owned subsidiary to engage in the sale of electronic component products and sounding devices from established brand manufacturers to customers located principally throughout North America.
 
In May 2002, Surge and an officer of Surge founded and became sole owners of Surge Components, Limited (“Surge Limited”), a Hong Kong corporation. Under current Hong Kong law, Surge Limited is required to have at least two shareholders. Surge owns 999 shares of the outstanding common stock and the officer of Surge owns 1 share of the outstanding common stock. The officer of Surge has assigned his rights regarding his 1 share to Surge. Surge Limited started doing business in July 2002. Surge Limited operations have been consolidated with the Company.  Surge Limited is responsible for the sale of Surge’s products to customers located in Asia.

On August 31, 2010, the Company changed its corporate domicile by merging into a newly-formed corporation, Surge Components, Inc. (Nevada), which was formed in the State of Nevada for that purpose.  Surge Components Inc. is the surviving entity. The number of common stock shares authorized for issuance was increased to 75,000,000 shares.
 
NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
[1] Principles of Consolidation:
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Surge, Challenge, and Surge Limited (collectively the “Company”).  All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit, in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q for interim financial reporting pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The results and trends in these interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended May 31, 2013 and May 31, 2012 may not be representative of those for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

(2) Accounts Receivable:

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the net invoice value and are not interest bearing. The Company considers receivables past due based on the payment terms. The Company reviews its exposure to amounts receivable and reserves specific amounts if collectability is no longer reasonably assured. The Company also reserves a percentage of its trade receivable balance based on collection history and current economic trends that might impact the level of future credit losses. The Company re-evaluates such reserves on a regular basis and adjusts its reserves as needed. Based on the Company’s operating history and customer base, bad debts to date have not been material.
 
(3) Revenue Recognition:
 
Revenue is recognized for products sold by the Company when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed and determinable, collectability is reasonably assured and title and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer. This occurs when product is shipped from the Company's warehouse. 

For direct shipments, revenue is recognized when product is shipped from the Company’s supplier. The Company has a long term supply agreement with one of our suppliers. The Company purchases the merchandise from the supplier and has the supplier directly ship to the customer through a freight forwarder.  Title passes to customer upon the merchandise being received by a freight forwarder. Direct shipments were approximately $932,000 and $1,422,000 for the six months ended May 31, 2013 and May 31, 2012 respectively.

The Company also acts as a sales agent to certain customers in North America for one of its suppliers. The Company reports these commissions as revenues in the period earned. Commission revenue totaled $354,721 and $205,964 for the six months ended May 31, 2013 and May 31, 2012 respectively.

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains reserves for potential credit losses.

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(3) Revenue Recognition (continued):

The Company and its subsidiaries currently have agreements with several distributors.    Some of these agreements allow for the return of up to 10% of certain product sales for the previous 6 month period.  The Company does not recognize this portion of the revenues, or the related costs of the sale, until the right of return has expired.    There are no provisions for the granting of price concessions in any of the agreements.  Revenues under these distribution agreements were approximately $1,234,000 and $2,119,000 for the six months ended May 31, 2013 and May 31, 2012 respectively.

(4) Inventories:
 
Inventories, which consist solely of products held for resale, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.  Products are included in inventory when the Company obtains title and risk of loss on the products, primarily when shipped from the supplier. Inventory in transit principally from foreign suppliers at May 31, 2013 approximated $1,435,000. The Company, at May 31, 2013, has a reserve against slow moving and obsolete inventory of $559,458. From time to time the Company’s products are subject to legislation from various authorities on environmental matters.
 
(5) Depreciation and Amortization:

Fixed assets are recorded at cost.  Depreciation is generally calculated on a straight line method and amortization of leasehold improvements is provided for on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various assets as follows:

Furniture, fixtures and equipment
5 - 7 years
Computer equipment
5 years
Leasehold Improvements
Estimated useful life or lease term, whichever is shorter

Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while renewals and betterments are capitalized.

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(6) Concentration of Credit Risk:

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable.  The Company maintains substantially all of its cash balances in a limited number of financial institutions.   At May 31, 2013 and November 30, 2012, the Company's uninsured cash balances totaled approximately $2,222,249 and $1,341,304, respectively.
 
(7) Income Taxes:

The Company's deferred income taxes arise primarily from the differences in the recording of net operating losses, allowances for bad debts, inventory reserves and depreciation expense for financial reporting and income tax purposes.  A valuation allowance is provided when it has been determined to be more likely than not that the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets will not be realized. See Note G.

The Company follows the provisions of the Accounting Standards Codification topic, ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (ASC 740). There have been no unrecognized tax benefits and, accordingly, there has been no effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations as a result of ASC 740.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years before fiscal years ending November 30, 2009, and state tax examinations for years before fiscal years ending November 30, 2008. Management does not believe there will be any material changes in our unrecognized tax positions over the next twelve months.

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of the date of adoption of ASC 740, there was no accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any interest expense recognized during the six months ended May 31, 2013 and May 31, 2012.

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
(8) Cash Equivalents:

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
(9) Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(10) Marketing and promotional costs:

Marketing and promotional costs are expensed as incurred and have not been material to date. The Company has contractual arrangements with several of its distributors which provide for cooperative advertising rights to the distributor as a percentage of sales. Cooperative advertising is reflected as a reduction in revenues and has not been material to date.
 
(11) Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
 
The carrying amount of cash balances, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value based on the nature of those items. Estimated fair values of financial instruments are determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.  Considerable judgment is required to interpret the market data used to develop the estimates of fair value, and accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange.

(12) Shipping Costs

The Company classifies shipping costs as a component of selling expenses.  Shipping costs totaled $9,639 and $7,809 for the six months ended May 31, 2013 and May 31, 2012 respectively.

(13) Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The difference between reported basic and diluted weighted-average common shares results from the assumption that all dilutive stock options and convertible preferred stock exercised into common stock. Total potentially dilutive shares excluded from diluted weighted shares outstanding at May 31, 2013 and May 31, 2012 totaled 332,820 and 273,424, respectively.

(14) Stock Based Compensation to Employees

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation for employees in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718.   The Company recognizes in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees over the related vesting period.

Stock Based Compensation to Other than Employees

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with ASC 718. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably determinable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earlier of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement.

(15) Recent Accounting Standards:

Comprehensive Income — In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. Specifically, the new guidance allows an entity to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements. The new guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. While the new guidance changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current accounting guidance. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of the new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 had no impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
 Fair Value Measurement — In April 2011, the FASB issued new guidance to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. This new guidance amends current fair value measurement and disclosure guidance to include increased transparency around valuation inputs and investment categorization. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of the new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 had no impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Stock Compensation


On February 25, 2011, the Company granted stock options to employees to purchase 85,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.15, the value of the common stock on the date of the grant.  These options vest over a three year period and expire in ten years.  The fair values of these stock options are estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: expected volatility of 60% (based on stock volatility of public company industry peers); average risk-free interest rate of 3.42% (the ten year treasury note rate on the date of the grant); initial expected life of 10 years (based on the term of the options); no expected dividend yield; and amortized over the vesting period.

In July 2012, the Company granted a stock option to one non-officer director to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.51, the market price of the common stock on the date of the grant.  This option vested immediately and expires in five years.  The fair value of this stock option is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: expected volatility of 35% (based on stock volatility of public company industry peers); average risk-free interest rate of 0.67% (the five year treasury note rate on the date of the grant); initial expected life of 5 years (based on the term of the options) and no expected dividend yield.

The weighted average grant date fair value of the stock options granted during the year ended November 30, 2012 was $0.82.  During the six months ended May 31, 2013, the Company recorded stock based compensation totaling $11,622 as a result of these stock option grants.

The intrinsic value of the exercisable options at May 31, 2013 totaled $237,500.  At May 31, 2013 the weighted average remaining life of the stock options is 2.84 years.  At May 31, 2013, there was $17,428 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the stock options granted under the plan.  This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of .499 years.

[3] Authorized Repurchase:
 
In November 2002, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 1,000,000 Common Shares at a price between $.04 and $.045. The Company has not repurchased any shares to date pursuant to such authority.

[4] Compensation of Directors

In May 2010, the Company issued 12,000 shares of its common stock to each non-officer director as compensation for services on the Board of Directors. These shares were valued at $0.18 per share, the closing price of the common stock on the over-the-counter market. Starting April 1, 2012, the amount directors each receive for their services on the Board of Directors was increased from $200 a month to $2,000 a month. In May 2010, options were granted to each non-officer director to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.25. In July 2012, a stock option was granted to one non-officer director to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.51.  (See Note F[2] for disclosure on the valuation and terms of these options). In May 2012, one non-officer director exercised an option and acquired 25,000 shares of common stock for $6,250.
 
NOTE G – INCOME TAXES

The valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets relates principally to the uncertainty of the utilization of deferred tax assets and was calculated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, which requires that a valuation allowance be established or maintained when it is “more likely than not” that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. This valuation is based on management estimates of future taxable income. Although the degree of variability inherent in the estimates of future taxable income is significant and subject to change in the near term, management believes, that the estimate is adequate. The estimated valuation allowance is continually reviewed and as adjustments to the allowance become necessary, such adjustments are reflected in the current operations.

NOTE H– RENTAL COMMITMENTS
 
The Company leases its office and warehouse space through 2020 from a corporation that is controlled by officers/shareholders of the Company (“Related Company”).  Annual minimum rental payments to the Related Company approximated $160,000 for the Fiscal 2012, and increase at the rate of three per cent per annum throughout the lease term.

Pursuant to the lease, rent expense charged to operations differs from rent paid because of scheduled rent increases.  Accordingly, the Company has recorded deferred rent.  Rent expense is calculated by allocating to rental payments, including those attributable to scheduled rent increases, on a straight line basis, over the lease term.

In May 2013, the Company entered into a lease to rent office space and a warehouse in Hong Kong for two years. Annual minimum rental payments for this space are approximately $51,200.

The Company’s future minimum rental commitments at May 31, 2013 are as follows:

NOTE I – EMPLOYMENT AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
 
The Company has employment agreements, with terms through July 30, 2013 (renewable on each July 30th for an additional one year period) with two officers of the Company, which provides each with a base salary of $225,000, subject to certain increases as defined, per annum, plus fringe benefits and bonuses.  The Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors determines the bonuses.  Bonuses have been accrued to the two officers through May 31, 2013 totaling $100,000.  The agreements also contain provisions prohibiting the officers from engaging in activities which are competitive with those of the Company during employment and for one year following termination.  The agreements further provide that in the event of a change of control, as defined, or a change in ownership of at least 25% of the issued and outstanding stock of the Company, and such issuance was not approved by either officer, or if they are not elected to the Board of Directors of the Company and/or are not elected as an officer of the Company, then the non-approving officer may elect to terminate his employment agreement. If either officer elects to terminate the agreement, he will receive 2.99 times his annual compensation (or such other amount then permitted under the Internal Revenue Code without an excess penalty), in addition to the remainder of his compensation under his existing employment contract.  In addition, if the Company makes or receives a “firm commitment” for a public offering of Common Shares, each officer will receive a warrant to purchase, at a nominal value, up to 9.5% of the Company’s common stock, provided they do not voluntarily terminate employment.

All statements other than statements of historical facts contained herein, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

These statements are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We discuss many of the risks in greater detail under the heading "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of the filing of this report.
 
Overview
 
The Company operates with two sales groups, Surge Components (“Surge”) and Challenge Electronics (“Challenge”). Surge is a supplier of electronic products and components. These products include capacitors, which are electrical energy storage devices, and discrete semiconductor components, such as rectifiers, transistors and diodes, which are single function low power semiconductor products that are packaged alone as compared to integrated circuits such as microprocessors. The products sold by Surge are typically utilized in the electronic circuitry of diverse products, including, but not limited to, automobiles, audio products, temperature control products, lighting products, energy related products, computer related products, various types of consumer products, garage door openers, household appliances, power supplies and security equipment. These products are sold to both original equipment manufacturers, commonly referred to as OEMs, who incorporate them into their products, and to distributors of the lines of products we sell, who resell these products within their customer base.  These products are manufactured predominantly in Asia by approximately sixteen independent manufacturers. We act as the master distribution agent utilizing independent sales representative organizations in North America to sell and market the products for one such manufacturer pursuant to a written agreement. When we act as a sales agent, the supplier who sold the product to the customer that we introduced to such supplier will pay us a commission. The amount of the commission is determined on a sale by sale basis depending on the profit margin of the product. Commission revenue totaled $354,721and $205,964 for the six months ended May 31, 2013 and May 31, 2012 respectively.

Challenge engages in the sale of electronic components, including audible components, alarms, chimes  and battery related products. Challenge has increased the types of products it sells because some of its suppliers introduced new products, and it has also sourced other products from new suppliers.  As a result, we are continually trying expand our product line. In 2002 we started to import products and sold these under the Challenge name. It started with a line of transducers, then we added battery snaps, and coin cell holders.  Since 2002, we have increased our imported private label product mix to include buzzers, speakers, microphones, resonators, filters, and discriminators. Our suppliers customize many of the products we sell for many customers based on the customers’ own designs and those our suppliers redesign for them at our suppliers’ factories. We have an experienced design engineer on our staff with thirty years of experience who works with our suppliers on such redesigns. We continue to expand the product mix we sell. We sell these products through independent representatives that earn a 5-6% commission rate on the gross sale of the products we sell in their area.  We also are working with local, regional, and national distributors to sell these products to local accounts in every state.

The Company has a Hong Kong office to effectively handle the transfer business from United States customers purchasing and manufacturing in Asia after designing the products in the United States. This office has strengthened the Company’s global capabilities and service to its customer base.
 
The electronic components industry has changed, from one of strong demand to now one of moderate demand. Management expects 2013 to continue with the moderate demand for components from 2012. Due to this worldwide reduction in demand, the Company could feel the effects of potentially reduced demand for its products.
 
In order for us to grow, we will depend on, among other things, the continued growth of the electronics and semiconductor industries, our ability to withstand intense price competition, our ability to obtain new customers, our ability to retain sales and other personnel in order to expand our marketing capabilities, our ability to secure adequate sources of products, which are in demand on commercially reasonable terms, our success in managing growth, including monitoring an expanded level of operations and controlling costs, and the availability of adequate financing.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Accounts Receivable
 
 The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and an assessment of international, political and economic risk as well as the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is a change in actual defaults from the Company’s historical experience, the Company’s estimates of recoverability of amounts due could be affected and the Company would adjust the allowance accordingly.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed and determinable, collectability is reasonably assured and title and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer. This occurs when product is shipped from the Company's warehouse.  For direct shipments from our factory to our customer, revenue is recognized when product is shipped from the Company’s supplier. The Company acts as a sales agent for certain customers buying direct from one of its suppliers. The Company reports these commissions as revenues in the period earned.
 
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains reserves for potential credit losses.
 
Inventory Valuation
 
Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or market.  Write-downs of inventories to market value are based on stock rotation, historical sales requirements and obsolescence as well as in the changes in the backlog.  Reserves required for obsolescence were not material in any of the periods in the financial statements presented.   If market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional write-downs of inventories could be required.  For example, each additional 1% of obsolete inventory would reduce operating income by approximately $36,000.
 
The Company does not have price protection agreements with any of its vendors and assumes the risk of changes in the prices of its products.  The Company does not believe there to be a significant risk with regards to the lack of price protection agreements as many of its inventory items are purchased to fulfill purchase orders received.

Income Taxes

We have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of a deferred income tax asset to prepare our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These estimates have a significant impact on our valuation allowance relating to deferred income taxes. Our estimates could materially impact the financial statements.

Results of Operations
Comparison of six and three months ended May 31, 2013 and May 31, 2012
 
Consolidated net sales for the six months ended May 31, 2013 increased by $244,890 or 2%, to $11,077,572 as compared to net sales of $10,832,682 for the six months ended May 31, 2012.  Consolidated net sales for the three months ended May 31 2013 increased by $287,827 or 5% to $5,891,089 as compared to net sales of $5,603,262 for the three months ended May 31, 2012.
We largely attribute the increase to increased business with new customers as well as increased business from existing customers, offset by decreases in sales by two of the Company's distributors.

Our gross profit for the six months ended May 31, 2013 was $3,220,577, a decrease of $7,941, or less than 1%, as compared to $3,228,518 for the six months ended May 31, 2012. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased to 29.1% for the six months ended May 31, 2013 compared to 29.8% for the six months ended May 31, 2012. Our gross profit for the three months ended May 31, 2013 was $1,667,337, a decrease of $16,216 or 1%, as compared to $1,683,553 for the three months ended May 31, 2012.  Our gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended May 31, 2013 decreased to 28.3% compared to 30.0% for the three months ended May 31, 2012. The Company attributes this decrease in profit margin to two main distributors having shifted to lower profit margin items compared to the six months ended May 31, 2012, which comprised of more higher profit margin items.

Selling and shipping expenses for the six months ended May 31, 2013 was $1,000,819, a decrease of $43,480, or 4%, as compared to $1,044,299 for the six months ended May 31, 2012. Selling and shipping expenses for the three months ended May 31, 2013 was $507,853, a decrease of $5,776 or 1% as compared to $513,629 for the three months ended May 31, 2012. The decrease was due to a decrease in commission expenses and auto expenses offset by the Company hiring an additional salesperson and increased travel and freight expenses.

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended May 31, 2013 was $1,569,275, a decrease of $22,383, or 1%, as compared to $1,591,658 for the six months ended May 31, 2012. The decrease is due to the reduction in officer bonus accrual,   office and computer expenses and expenses from the Company’s 30th Anniversary party in 2012 and partially offset by the increase in rent, salaries and an increase in directors fees that took effect in April 2012. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended May 31, 2013 was $790,803, an increase of $29,935 or 4% as compared to $760,868 for the three months ended May 31, 2012.  The increase is due to the hiring of additional employees and increased costs of insurance, an increase in allowance for doubtful accounts as well as increases in professional fees and directors fees as partially offset by the reduction in officers bonus accrual, as well as decreases in office and computer expenses.

Depreciation expense for the six months ended May 31, 2013 was $24,594, a decrease of $2,744 or 10%, as compared to $27,338 for the six months ended May 31, 2012.  Depreciation expense for the three months ended May 31, 2013 was $13,235, a decrease of $558 or 4%, as compared to $13,793 for the three months ended May 31, 2012. The decrease is due to assets becoming fully depreciated and less fixed assets being purchased in the six months ended May 31, 2013.

Income tax expense for the six months ended May 31, 2013 was $46,774, a decrease of $155,701, or 77% as compared to $202,475 for the six months ended May 31, 2012.  Income tax expense for the three months ended May 31, 2013 was $34,892, a decrease of $130,123 or 79% as compared to $165,015 for the three months ended May 31, 2012.   The decrease is a result of management’s revised estimate of future taxable income and the related impact on the reported deferred tax. As a result, there was a decrease of $20,541 in the deferred tax asset during the six months ended May 31, 2013. The Company reviews estimates of future taxable income in each reporting period and adjustments to the valuation allowance are reflected in the current operations.

As a result of the foregoing, net income for the six months ended May 31, 2013 was $581,518, compared to the net income of $363,791 for the six months ended May 31, 2012. As a result of the foregoing, net income for the three months ended May 31, 2013 was $322,168 as compared to $230,977 for the three months ended May 31, 2012.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of May 31, 2013 we had cash of $3,875,872, and working capital of $8,243,308. We believe that our working capital levels are adequate to meet our operating requirements during the next twelve months.

During the six months ended May 31, 2013, we had net cash flow from operating activities of $451,893, as compared to net cash flow from operating activities of $1,329,130 for the six months ended May 31, 2012. The decrease in cash flow from operating activities resulted from an increase in inventory, increase in backorders, increase in buffer stock held for certain customers and accounts receivable as partially offset by an increase in net income, and an increase in accounts payable

We had net cash flow used in investing activities of $19,985 for the six months ended May 31, 2013, as compared to net cash flow used in investing activities of $9,157 for the six months ended May 31, 2012.   The Company purchased new equipment and furniture for their new offices in Hong Kong during the six months ended May 31, 2013.

We had net cash flows provided by financing activities of $0 for the six months ended May 31, 2013, as compared to net cash flow used in or provided by financing activities of $6,250 for the six months ended May 31, 2012. The increase in cash flow from financing activities resulted from a non-executive board member exercising an option and acquiring 25,000 shares of common stock during the six months ended May 31, 2012.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company had a net increase in cash of $431,908 for the six months ended May 31, 2013, as compared to a net increase in cash of $1,326,223 for the six months ended May 31, 2012.

In June 2011, the Company replaced its existing credit line with a line of credit with JP Morgan Chase Bank totaling $1,000,000. Borrowings under the line accrued interest at 2.56% over the LIBOR rate. The line was collateralized by all the Company’s assets and included working capital and tangible net worth covenants. The credit line expired in March 2013. The Company did not renew the credit line since it does not believe such additional funds are required at this time.

The Company intends to maintain its current cash along with cash generated from operations to fund its current operations and to execute its plans, which may include potential merger and acquisition activities and investments to expand the Company’s core businesses.
