General
Wayside Technology Group, Inc. (the
"Company," "us," "we," or "our") is a marketer of software in the United States
and Canada targeting software development and information technology
professionals within enterprise organizations.
Wayside Technology Group, Inc. was
incorporated in Delaware in 1982. Our Common Stock is listed on The NASDAQ
Global Market under the symbol “WSTG”. Our main web site address is
www.waysidetechnology.com
,
and the other web sites maintained by our business include
www.programmers.com
,
www.lifeboatdistribution.com
,
and
www.techxtend.com
. Reference
to these “uniform resource locators” or “URL” is made as an inactive textual
reference for informational purposes only. Information on our web sites should
not be considered filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is not,
and should not be deemed to be, a part of this report.
The
Company markets software to software development and information technology
professionals in the United States and Canada. It operates through two segments,
Programmer's Paradise and Lifeboat. The Programmer's Paradise segment sells
technical software, hardware, and services for microcomputers, servers, and
networks to individual programmers, corporations, government agencies, and
educational institutions. The Lifeboat segment distributes technical software to
corporate and value-added resellers, consultants, and systems integrators. For
each of our segments, revenues from unaffiliated customers, income and total
assets among other financial information, is presented in Note 10 in the Notes
to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
The
Company’s catalogs are full color “magalogs” and offer some of the most complete
collections of microcomputer technical software, including programming
languages, tools, utilities, libraries, development systems, interfaces and
communication products.
Competition
The software distribution market is
highly competitive. Pricing is very aggressive and the Company expects pricing
pressure to continue. The Company faces competition from a wide variety of
sources including: vendors who sell directly to customers; software resellers;
superstores; catalogers; web sites; and other direct marketers of software
products. Some of our competitors are significantly larger and have
substantially greater resources than the Company. Many of our competitors
compete principally on the basis of price, product availability, customer
service and technical support.
There can
be no assurance that the Company can compete effectively against existing
competitors or new competitors that may enter the market and that it can
generate profit margins which represent a fair return to the Company. In
addition, price is an important competitive factor in the personal computer
software market and there can be no assurance that the Company will not be
subject to increased price competition. An increase in the amount of competition
faced by the Company, or its failure to compete effectively against its
competitors, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations.
The Company competes in acquiring
prospective buyers and in sourcing new products from software developers and
publishers, as well as in marketing its current product line to its customers.
The Company believes that its ability to offer software developers and
information technology (“IT”)
professionals
a wide selection of products at low prices with prompt delivery and high
customer
service
levels, along with its good relationships with vendors and suppliers, allow it
to compete effectively in acquiring prospective buyers and marketing its current
product line to its customers. The Company competes to gain distribution rights
for new products primarily on the basis of its reputation and its relationships
with software publishers.
Page

The
market for developer software products is characterized by rapid changes in
technology, user requirements, and customer specifications. The manner in which
software products are distributed and sold is changing, and new methods of
distribution and sale may emerge or expand. Software developers and publishers
have sold, and may intensify their efforts to sell, their products directly to
end-users. The evolution of the Internet as a viable platform in which to
conduct e-commerce business transactions has both lowered the barriers for
competition and broadened customer access to products and information. From time
to time, certain software developers and publishers have instituted programs for
the direct sale of large order quantities of software to certain major corporate
accounts. These types of programs may continue to be developed and used by
various developers and publishers. While Microsoft and other vendors currently
sell new releases or upgrades directly to end users, they have not attempted to
completely bypass the reseller channel. There can be no assurances, however,
that software developers and publishers will continue using resellers to the
same extent they currently do. Future efforts by software developers and
publishers to bypass third party sales channels could materially and adversely
affect the Company’s business, result of operations and financial
conditions.
In addition, resellers and publishers
may attempt to increase the volume of software products distributed
electronically through ESD (Electronic Software Distribution) technology,
through subscription services, and through on-line shopping services. Any of
these competitive programs, if successful, could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business, result of operations and financial condition. For a
description of additional risks relating to competition in our industry, please
refer to “Item 1.A. Risk Factors--We rely on our suppliers for product
availability, marketing funds, purchasing incentives and competitive products to
sell” and “--The IT products and services industry is intensely competitive and
actions of competitors, including manufacturers of products we sell, can
negatively affect our business.”
Products
The
Company offers a wide variety of products from a broad range of publishers and
manufacturers, including CA Inc., Quest Software, Inc., GFI Software, Intel
Corporation, Infragistics, TechSmith Corporation, Flexera Corp., Vizioncore Inc.
and Veeam Corporation. On a continuous basis, new products are
screened for inclusion in our catalogs and web sites based on their features,
quality, price, profit margins and warranties, as well as on current sales
trends. Since the Company predominantly sells software, sales of hardware and
peripherals represented only 7%, 4% and 3%, respectively, of our overall revenue
in 2009, 2008 and 2007.
Marketing
and Distribution
We market
products through creative marketing communications, our catalogs, our web sites,
industry magazines, and national trade shows. We also use direct e-mail and
printed material to introduce new products and upgrades, to cross-sell products
to current customers, and to educate and inform existing and potential
customers. We believe that our catalogs are important marketing vehicles for
software publishers and manufacturers. These catalogs provide a cost-effective
and service-oriented means to market, sell and fulfill software
products.
The
Company had two major customers that accounted for more than 10% of total sales
for 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2009, CDW Corporation and Software
House International accounted for 10.5% and 10.7% of consolidated net sales,
respectively. These same customers accounted for 11.3% and 4.1% of total net
accounts receivable as of December 31, 2009. The Company had no major
customers that accounted for more than 10% of total sales for 2008. One
customer, CDW Corporation, accounted for 10.9%, of consolidated net sales in
2007. Our top five customers accounted for 36%, 31%, and 28% of consolidated net
sales in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company generally ships products
within 48 hours of confirming a customer’s order. This allows for minimum
backlog in the business.
Page

Sales in Canada represented 8% of our
consolidated revenues in 2009 as compared to 11% in 2008, and 13% in 2007. For
geographic financial information, please refer to Note 10 in the Notes to our
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Customer
Support
We
believe that providing a high level of customer service is necessary to compete
effectively and is essential to continued sales and revenue growth. Our account
representatives assist our customers with all aspects of purchasing decisions,
process products ordered and respond to customer inquiries on order status,
product pricing and availability. The account representatives are trained to
answer all basic questions about the features and functionality of products. To
deal with technical issues, we maintain an in-house technical support
staff.
Purchasing
and Fulfillment
The
Company's success is dependent, in part, upon the ability of its suppliers to
develop and market products that meet the changing requirements of the
marketplace. The Company believes it enjoys good relationships with its vendors.
The Company and its principal vendors have cooperated frequently in product
introductions and in other marketing programs. As is customary in the industry,
the Company has no long-term supply contracts with any of its suppliers.
Substantially all of the Company's contracts with its vendors are terminable
upon 30 days' notice or less. The manner in which software products are
distributed and sold is changing, and new methods of distribution and sale may
emerge or expand. Software publishers have sold, and may intensify their efforts
to sell, their products directly to end-users. The Company’s business and
results of operations may be adversely affected if the terms and conditions of
the Company’s authorizations with its vendors were to be significantly modified
or if certain products become unavailable to the Company.
We
believe that effective purchasing from a diverse vendor base is a key element of
our business strategy. For the year ended December 31, 2009, Quest was the
only individual vendor from whom our purchases exceeded 10%. For the year ended
December 31, 2009 Quest represented 10.2% of total purchases. For the year ended
December 31, 2008, VMware accounted for 23.3% of total purchases and Quest
represented 13% of total purchases. For the years ended December 31, 2007,
VMware accounted for 36.8% of total purchases. VMware terminated its distributor
agreement with Lifeboat Distribution, Inc. in 2008. As a result, our Lifeboat
segment ceased distributing VMware products as of October 1, 2008, the
distribution of which had accounted for $29.2 million, or 17% of our 2008
revenue and $57.2 million or 32% of our 2007 revenue. The loss of any of these
vendors, or any other key vendor, could disrupt product availability and
otherwise have an adverse effect on the Company.
In 2009,
the Company purchased approximately 85% of its products directly from
manufacturers and publishers and the balance from multiple distributors, as
compared to 90% in 2008, and 90% in 2007. Most suppliers or distributors will
"drop ship" products directly to the customers, which reduces physical handling
by the Company. These inventory management techniques allow the Company to offer
a greater range of products without increased inventory
requirements.
Inventory
levels may vary from period to period, due in part to increases or decreases in
sales levels, the Company's practice of making large-volume purchases when it
deems the terms of such purchases to be attractive, and the addition of new
suppliers and products. Moreover, the Company's order fulfillment and inventory
control allow the Company to order certain products just in time for next day
shipping. The Company promotes the use of electronic data interchange ("EDI")
with its suppliers, which helps reduce overhead and the use of paper in the
ordering process. Although brand names and individual products are important to
our business, we believe that competitive sources of supply are available for
substantially all product categories we carry.

The
Company operates distribution facilities in Shrewsbury, New Jersey and
Mississauga, Canada.
Management
Information Systems
The
Company operates management information systems on Windows NT and MPE platforms
that allow for centralized management of key functions, including inventory,
accounts receivable, purchasing, sales and distribution. We are dependent on the
accuracy and proper utilization of our information technology systems, including
our telephone, web sites, e-mail and fax systems.
The
management information systems allow the Company to monitor sales trends,
provide product availability and order status information, track direct
marketing campaign performance and to make marketing event driven purchasing
decisions. In addition to the main system, the Company has systems of networked
personal computers, as well as microcomputer-based desktop publishing systems,
which facilitate data sharing and provide an automated office
environment.
The
Company recognizes the need to continually upgrade its management information
systems to most effectively manage its operations and customer database. In that
regard, the Company anticipates that it will, from time to time, require
software and hardware upgrades for its present management information
systems.
Trademarks
The
Company conducts its business under the various trademarks and service marks of
Programmer's Paradise, the "Island Man" cartoon character logo, and Lifeboat.
The Company protects these trademarks and service marks and believes that they
have significant value and are important factors in its marketing
programs.
Employees
As of
December 31, 2009, Wayside Technology Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries had 91
full-time employees and 1 part-time employee. The Company is not a party to any
collective bargaining agreements with its employees, has experienced no work
stoppages and considers its relationships with its employees to be
satisfactory.

Investors
should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below as well as the other
information contained in this report. Any of the following risks could
materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of
operations. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or
those currently viewed by us to be immaterial may also materially and adversely
affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Changes in the
information technology industry and/or economic environment may reduce demand
for the products and services we sell.
Our results of operations are
influenced by a variety of factors, including the condition of the IT industry,
general economic conditions, shifts in demand for, or availability of, computer
products and software and IT services and industry introductions of new
products, upgrades or methods of distribution. The information technology
products industry is characterized by abrupt changes in technology, rapid
changes in customer preferences, short product life cycles and evolving industry
standards. Net sales can be dependent on demand for specific product categories,
and any change in demand for or supply of such products could have a material
adverse effect on our net sales, and/or cause us to record write-downs of
obsolete inventory, if we fail to react in a timely manner to such
changes.
We rely on our
suppliers for product availability, marketing funds, purchasing incentives and
competitive products to sell.
We acquire products for resale both
directly from manufacturers and indirectly through distributors. The loss of a
supplier could cause a disruption in the availability of products. Additionally,
there is no assurance that as manufacturers continue to sell directly to end
users and through the distribution channel, they will not limit or curtail the
availability of their product to resellers like us. For example, resellers and
publishers may attempt to increase the volume of software products distributed
electronically through ESD (Electronic Software Distribution) technology,
through subscription services, and through on-line shopping services, and
correspondingly, decrease the volume of product sold through us. Our
inability to obtain a sufficient quantity of product, or an allocation of
products from a manufacturer in a way that favors one of our competitors, or
competing distribution channels, relative to us, could cause us to be unable to
fill clients’ orders in a timely manner, or at all, which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We also rely on our suppliers to provide funds for us to market their products,
including through our catalogs and on-line marketing efforts, and to provide
purchasing incentives to us. If any of the suppliers that have
historically provided these benefits to us decide to reduce the benefits, our
expenses would increase, adversely affecting our results of
operations.

The Current
Economic Downturn May Reduce our Revenues and Profits.
The
ongoing general economic downturn is causing some of our current and potential
customers to delay or reduce technology purchases and results in longer sales
cycles, slower adoption of new technologies and increased price competition. We
may therefore experience a decline in demand for the products we sell, resulting
in increased competition and pressure to reduce the cost of operations. Any
benefits from cost reductions may take longer to realize and may not fully
mitigate the impact of the reduced demand. In addition, weak financial and
credit markets heighten the risk of customer bankruptcies and a corresponding
delay in collecting receivables from those customers and may also affect our
vendors' ability to supply products, which could disrupt our operations.
The realization of any or all of these risks could have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operation and financial
condition.
The IT products
and services industry is intensely competitive and actions of competitors,
including manufacturers of products we sell, can negatively affect our business.
Competition has been based primarily on price, product availability,
speed of delivery, credit availability and quality and breadth of product lines
and, increasingly, is also based on the ability to tailor specific solutions to
client needs. We compete with manufacturers, including manufacturers of products
we sell, as well as a large number and wide variety of marketers and resellers
of IT products and services. In addition, manufacturers are increasing the
volume of software products distributed electronically directly to end-users and
in the future will likely pay lower referral fees for sales of certain software
licensing agreements sold by us. Generally, pricing is
very aggressive in the industry, and we
expect pricing
pressures to continue. There can be no assurance that we will be able to
negotiate prices as favorable as those negotiated by our competitors or that we
will be able to offset the effects of price reductions with an increase in the
number of clients, higher net sales, cost reductions, greater sales of services,
which are typically at higher gross margins, or otherwise. Price reductions by
our competitors that we either cannot or choose not to match could result in an
erosion of our market share and/or reduced sales or, to the extent we match such
reductions, could result in reduced operating margins, any of which could have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
Disruptions in
our information technology and voice and data networks could affect our ability
to service our clients and cause us to incur additional expenses.
We
believe that our success to date has been, and future results of operations will
be, dependent in large part upon our ability to provide prompt and efficient
service to clients. Our ability to provide such services is largely dependent on
the accuracy, quality and utilization of the information generated by our IT
systems, which affect our ability to manage our sales, client service,
distribution, inventories and accounting systems and the reliability of our
voice and data networks.
We depend on
certain key personnel.
Our future success will be largely dependent on
the efforts of key management personnel. We also believe that our future success
will be largely dependent on our continued ability to attract and retain highly
qualified management, sales, service and technical personnel. We cannot assure
you that we will be able to attract and retain such personnel. Further, we make
a significant investment in the training of our sales account executives. Our
inability to retain such personnel or to train them either rapidly enough to
meet our expanding needs or in an effective manner for quickly changing market
conditions could cause a decrease in the overall quality and efficiency of our
sales staff, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results
of operations and financial condition.

Risks
Related to Our
Common Stock
.
The
exercise of outstanding options or any other issuance of shares by us may dilute
your ownership of our common stock. Our common stock is thinly traded. As a
result of the thin trading market for our stock, its market price may fluctuate
significantly more than the stock market as a whole or the stock prices of
similar companies. Without a larger float, our common stock will be
less liquid than the stock of companies with broader public ownership, and, as a
result, the trading prices for our common stock may be more volatile. Among
other things, trading of a relatively small volume of our common stock may have
a greater impact on the trading price for our stock than would be the case if
our public float were larger.
Our common stock is listed on The
NASDAQ Global Market, and we are therefore subject to continued listing
requirements, including requirements with respect to the market value and number
of publicly-held shares, number of stockholders, minimum bid price, number of
market makers and either (i) stockholders’ equity or (ii) total market value of
stock, total assets and total revenues. If we fail to satisfy one or more of the
requirements, we may be delisted from The NASDAQ Global Market. If we are
delisted from The NASDAQ Global Market, we do not qualify for listing on The
NASDAQ Capital Market, and we are not able to list our common stock on another
exchange, our common stock could be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or on the
“pink sheets”. As a result, we could face significant adverse consequences

The following management’s
discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated
Financial Statements and the Notes thereto.
This discussion
and analysis contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ
materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a
result of certain risks and uncertainties, including those set forth under the
heading "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this report.
Overview
As of January 1, 2006 we have organized
our Company into two reportable operating segments — the “Programmer’s Paradise”
segment, which sells technical software, hardware and services directly to
end-users (such as individual programmers, corporations, government agencies,
and educational institutions) and the “Lifeboat” segment, which distributes
technical software to corporate resellers, VARs, consultants and systems
integrators.
We offer a wide variety of technical
and general business application software from a broad range of publishers and
manufacturers. We market these products through our catalogs, direct mail
programs, advertisements in trade magazines, as well as through Internet and
e-mail promotions.
Forward-looking
Statements
This
report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E
of the Exchange Act. Statements in this report regarding future events or
conditions, including but not limited to statements regarding industry prospects
and the Company’s expected financial position, business and financing plans, are
forward-looking statements.
Although
the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking
statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will
prove to have been correct. We strongly urge current and prospective investors
to carefully consider the cautionary statements and risks contained in this
report, particularly the risks described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors”
above. Such risks include, but are not limited to, the continued
acceptance of the Company’s distribution channel by vendors and customers, the
timely availability and acceptance of new products, contribution of key vendor
relationships and support programs, as well as factors that affect the software
industry generally.
The Company operates in a rapidly
changing business, and new risk factors emerge from time to time. Management
cannot predict every risk factor, nor can it assess the impact, if any, of all
such risk factors on the Company’s business or the extent to which any factor,
or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from
those projected in any forward-looking statements.
Accordingly, forward-looking statements
should not be relied upon as a prediction of actual results and readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which
speak only as of their dates. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly
update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.
The
statements concerning future sales, future gross profit margin and future
selling and administrative expenses are forward looking statements involving
certain risks and uncertainties such as availability of products, product mix,
market conditions and other factors, which could result in a fluctuation of
sales below recent experience.

Stock Volatility.
The
technology sector of the United States stock markets has experienced substantial
volatility in recent periods. Numerous conditions which impact the technology
sector or the stock market in general or the Company in particular, whether or
not such events relate to or reflect upon the Company's operating performance,
could adversely affect the market price of the Company's Common Stock.
Furthermore, fluctuations in the Company's operating results, announcements
regarding litigation, the loss of a significant vendor, increased competition,
reduced vendor incentives and trade credit, higher postage and operating
expenses, and other developments, could have a significant impact on the market
price of the Company's Common Stock.
Financial
Overview
We
reported a net income of $2.9 million for the year 2009 as compared to a net
income of $3.2 million in 2008.
The
decrease primarily resulted from the decline in revenue. Our income before
income taxes decreased by $0.5 million to $4.8 million compared to $5.3 million
in 2008.
Income
from operations amounted to $4.3 million in 2009 as compared to $4.6 million in
2008, representing a decrease of $0.3 million as compared to 2008. Gross profit
decreased by $1.2 million and Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”)
expenses decreased by $0.9 million.
The Company's sales, gross profit and
results of operations have fluctuated and are expected to continue to fluctuate
on a quarterly basis as a result of a number of factors, including but not
limited to: the condition of the software industry in general; shifts in demand
for software products; industry shipments of new software products or upgrades;
the timing of new merchandise and catalog offerings; fluctuations in response
rates; fluctuations in postage, paper, shipping and printing costs and in
merchandise returns; adverse weather conditions that affect response,
distribution or shipping; shifts in the timing of holidays; and changes in the
Company's product offerings. The Company's operating expenditures are based on
sales forecasts. If revenues do not meet expectations in any given quarter,
operating results may be materially adversely affected.

The following table sets forth for the
years indicated the percentage of net sales represented by selected items

Year
ended December 31, 2009 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2008
Net
Sales
Net sales
for 2009 decreased 16% or $27.6 million to $146.4 million compared to $174.0
million in 2008. Total sales for our Lifeboat segment were $98.1 million
compared to $117.1 million in 2008, representing a 16% decrease. Total sales for
the Programmer’s Paradise segment in 2009 amounted to $48.3 million, compared to
$56.9 million in 2008, representing a 15% decrease.
The decline in sales for our Lifeboat
segment was primarily due to a decrease in VMware sales. VMware
terminated its distributor agreement with Lifeboat Distribution, Inc. in 2008.
As a result, our Lifeboat segment ceased distributing VMware products as of
October 1, 2008, the distribution of which had accounted for $29.2 million, or
17% of our 2008 revenue and $57.2 million, or 32% of our 2007
revenue. Excluding the effect of VMware, Lifeboat segment sales
during 2009 showed strong growth, increasing by $10.1 million from 2008, or
11.5%.
In the
Programmer's Paradise segment, sales for 2009 decreased by $8.6 million,
compared with the year-earlier period. This decline was primarily due to a shift
in mix of order size: We had fewer large transactions, the decrease
in revenue from which was not completely offset by increased sales of our
smaller specialized software lines in 2009
.
Gross
Profit
Gross
Profit for 2009 was $15.6 million compared to $16.8 million in 2008, a 7%
decrease. Total gross profit for our Programmer’s Paradise segment was $5.7
million compared to $6.5 million in 2008, representing a 13% decrease. Total
gross profit for our Lifeboat segment was $9.9 million compared to $10.3 million
in 2008, representing a 3% decrease.
Gross
profit margin, as a percentage of net sales, for 2009 was 10.7% compared to 9.7%
in 2008. Gross profit margin percentage for our Programmer’s Paradise segment in
2009 was 11.7% compared to 11.4% in 2008. Gross profit margin percentage for our
Lifeboat segment in 2009 was 10.1% compared to 8.8% in 2008.
The
increase in gross profit margin as a percentage of net sales was primarily
caused by the decline in VMware sales which carried lower margins than our other
lines. The Lifeboat segment represented 67% of total sales in 2009 and
2008.Gross profit margin percentage for our Lifeboat segment was 10.1% compared
to 11.7% for our Programmer’s Paradise segment.
Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses
Total
SG&A expenses for 2009 were $11.3 million compared to $12.2 million in 2008.
As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses for 2009 and 2008 were 7.7% and
7.0%, respectively. This decrease was the result of lower employee and employee
related costs of $0.6 million (including salaries, bonuses, employee benefits,
commissions, and travel and entertainment), and lower occupancy related costs of
$0.3 million primarily because we did not take any additional reserve related to
the Long Island lease and lower depreciation compared to 2008.
The
Company expects that its SG&A expenses, as a percentage of net sales, may
vary depending on changes in sales volume, as well as the levels of continuing
investments in key growth initiatives. We plan to expand our investment in
information technology and marketing, while monitoring our sales and remaining
general and administrative expenses closely.

Direct selling costs (a component of
SG&A) for 2009 were $5.5 million compared to $5.8 million in 2008. Total

million compared to $2.9 million in the same period in 2008. Total direct
selling costs for our Lifeboat segment were $2.9 million in each of 2009 and
2008.

Net
Sales
Net sales
for 2008 decreased 3.3% or $5.8 million to $174.0 million compared to $179.9
million in 2007. Total sales for our Lifeboat segment were $117.1 million

the Programmer’s Paradise segment in 2008 amounted to $56.9 million, compared to
$44.8 million in 2007, representing a 27% increase.
The decline in sales for our Lifeboat
segments was primarily due to a decrease in VMware sales in our Lifeboat
segment. VMware terminated its distributor agreement with Lifeboat Distribution,
Inc. in 2008. As a result, our Lifeboat segment ceased distributing VMware
products as of October 1, 2008, the distribution of which had accounted for
$29.2 million in 2008, or 17% of our 2008 revenue and $57.2 million in 2007, or
32% of our 2007 revenue. Our remaining distribution sales showed
strong growth. Excluding VMware, sales during 2008 increased by $10.0 million
from 2007, or 12.9%.
In the
Programmer's Paradise segment, sales for 2008 increased by $12.1 million,
compared with the year-earlier period, primarily due to our customer service
centric sales approach, aggressive pricing and an increase in orders by
customers utilizing our flexible payment option arrangement.

in 2007. Gross profit margin percentage for our Programmer’s Paradise segment
was 11.4% compared to 12.9% in 2007. Gross profit margin percentage for our
Lifeboat segment in 2008 was 8.8% compared to 8.5% in 2007.
The
increase in gross profit margin as a percentage of net sales was primarily
caused by the decline in VMware sales which carry lower margins than our other
lines. The Lifeboat segment represented 67% of total sales in 2008 compared to
75% in 2007. Gross profit margin percentage for our Lifeboat segment was 8.8%
compared to 11.4% for our Programmer’s Paradise segment.

Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses
Total
SG&A expenses for 2008 were $12.2 million compared to $12.1 million in 2007.
As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses for 2008 and 2007 were 7.0% and
6.7%, respectively. This increase was the result of increased employee related
costs (including bonuses, benefits and stock compensation), professional fees
and an additional charge related to the sublease of our Long Island office
compared to 2007.
The
Company expects that its SG&A expenses, as a percentage of net sales, may
vary depending on changes in sales volume, as well as the levels of continuing
investments in key growth initiatives. We plan to expand our investment in
information technology and marketing, while monitoring our sales and remaining

May 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 855,
“Subsequent Events,” which establishes general standards of accounting for, and
disclosures of, events that occur after the balance sheet date but before
financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This
pronouncement is effective for interim or fiscal periods ending after
June 15, 2009. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material
impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows. However, the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 855 resulted in additional
disclosures with respect to subsequent events. The Company evaluated all events
or transactions that occurred after December 31, 2009 up through February 22,
2010, the date we filed this annual report on Form 10-K. During this
period no material subsequent events came to our attention.

In
June 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 105,
“Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” as the single source of
authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP. FASB ASC Topic 105 does not change
current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative
U.S. GAAP by providing all authoritative literature related to a particular
topic in one place. All existing accounting standard documents will be
superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the FASB
Codification will be considered non-authoritative. These provisions of FASB ASC
Topic 105 are effective for interim and annual periods ending after
September 15, 2009 and, accordingly, are effective for the Company for the
current fiscal reporting period. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have
an impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations, but
will impact our financial reporting process by eliminating all references to
pre-codification standards. On the effective date of this Statement, the
Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting
standards, and all other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not
included in the Codification became non-authoritative.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 320,
“Investments — Debt and Equity Securities” and Topic 325 “Investments — Other,”
which is designed to create greater clarity and consistency in accounting for
and presenting impairment losses on securities. The pronouncement is effective
for periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did
not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 825,
“Financial Instruments,” which amends previous Topic 825 guidance to require
disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim as well as
annual financial statements. This pronouncement is effective for periods ending
after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a
material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Our cash and cash equivalents decreased
by $0.8 million to $8.6 million at December 31, 2009 from $9.3 million at
December 31, 2008. Net cash provided by operating activities amounted
to $1.0 million, net cash provided by investing activities amounted to $1.6
million, net cash used in financing activities amounted to $3.6 million and the
effect of foreign exchange on cash was $0.2 million.
Net cash provided by operating
activities in 2009 was $1.0 million. In 2009, cash was mainly provided by $4.4
million from income from operations net of non-cash charges, and a $5.7 million
increase in accounts payable and a decrease in inventory of $0.1 million, offset
by a $9.0 million increase in accounts receivable. The increase in accounts
receivable relates primarily to our increased revenue in December of 2009,
compared to the comparable period in 2008. The increase in accounts payable is
primarily due to our increased net sales in December 2009 as compared to 2008
and our normal cycle of payments.
In 2009, cash provided in
investing activities was $1.6 million. This primarily resulted from net sales of
$1.8 million in marketable securities. These securities are highly rated and
highly liquid. These securities are classified as available-for-sale securities
in accordance with ASC Topic 320 “Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”,
and as a result, unrealized gains and losses are reported as part of accumulated
other comprehensive income. Cash was also used in investing activities in the
amount of $0.2 million for the purchase of equipment and leasehold
improvements.
Net cash
used in financing activities in 2009 of $3.6 million consisted of $2.8 million
of dividend payments on our Common Stock and $0.7 million for the purchases of
shares of our Common Stock
In 2008, the Company's Board of
Directors authorized the purchase of 500,000 shares of our Common Stock. In
2002, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the purchase of 1,490,000
shares of our Common Stock. In October 1999, the Company was authorized by the
Board of Directors to buy back 521,013 shares of our Common Stock in
both open market and private transactions, as conditions warrant. A total of
2,009,227 shares of the Company’s stock have been bought back to date leaving a
balance of 501,786 shares of Common Stock that the Company is authorized to buy
back in the future.

The
repurchase program is expected to remain effective for the remainder of 2010. We
intend to hold the repurchased shares in treasury for general corporate
purposes, including issuances under various stock plans. As of December 31,
2009, we held 595,656 shares of our Common Stock in treasury at an average cost
of $5.97 per share. As of December 31, 2008, we held 640,838 shares
of our Common Stock in treasury at an average cost of $5.28 per
share.
The
Company’s current and anticipated use of its cash and cash equivalents is, and
will continue to be, to fund working capital, operational expenditures, the
stock repurchase program and dividends, if any, declared by the board of
directors. Our business plan furthermore contemplates to continue to use our
cash to pay vendors promptly in order to obtain more favorable
conditions.
The
Company believes that the cash flows from operations and funds held in cash and
cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund the Company’s working capital and
cash requirements for at least the next 12 months. We currently do
not have any credit facility and, in the foreseeable future, we do not plan to
enter into an agreement providing for a line of credit.
The
ongoing general economic downturn is causing some of our current and potential
customers to delay or reduce technology purchases and results in longer sales
cycles, slower adoption of new technologies and increased price competition. We
have taken steps to reduce our costs of operations. While we have reduced our
cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for in 2009 compared to 2008, this
was primarily due to the decline in VMware sales which carried lower margins
than our other lines, and our selling, general and administrative expenses have
increased as a percentage of net sales over the same period. Any benefits from
cost reduction measures we implement may take longer to realize and may not
fully mitigate the impact of the reduced demand. Limited access to financing may
also affect our vendors' ability to supply products, and could result in changes
in vendor terms and conditions, such as rebates, cash discounts and cooperative
marketing efforts, which may result in downward pressure on our gross margins.
The realization of any or all of these risks could have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operation and financial
condition.

Operating leases primarily relates to the lease of the space used for our
operations in Shrewsbury, New Jersey, and Mississauga, Canada as well as our
former sales office in Hauppauge New York. The commitments for operating leases
include the minimum rent payments and a proportionate share of operating
expenses and property taxes.

(2) In
addition to the contractual obligations disclosed in this table, we have
unrecognized tax benefits totaling $78,000 with respect to which, based on
uncertainties associated with the items, we are unable to make reasonably
reliable estimates of the period of potential cash settlements, if any, with
taxing authorities. As a result, such potential liabilities are not listed in
the table. See Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
The
Company is not committed by lines of credit, standby letters of credit, has no
standby repurchase obligations or other commercial commitments.
Foreign
Exchange
The Company’s Canadian business is
subject to changes in demand or pricing resulting from fluctuations in currency
exchange rates or other factors. We are subject to fluctuations in the Canadian
Dollar-to-U.S. Dollar exchange rate.
Off-
Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of
December 31, 2009, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as
defined in Item 303 (a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s
discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of
operations are based upon the Company's consolidated financial statements that
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of software and
hardware for microcomputers, servers and networks upon shipment or upon
electronic delivery of the product. The Company expenses the advertising costs
associated with producing its catalogs. The costs of these catalogs are expensed
in the same month the catalogs are mailed.
On an on-going basis, the Company
evaluates its estimates, including those related to product returns, bad debts,
inventories, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, stock-based
compensation and costs associated with exit or disposal activities, and
contingencies and litigation.
The Company bases its estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for
making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are
not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these
estimates.
The Company believes the following
critical accounting policies used in the preparation of its consolidated
financial statements affect its more significant judgments and
estimates.
The Company maintains allowances for
doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its
customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of the Company's
customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to
make payments, additional allowances may be required.
The
Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable
inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the
estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market
conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected
by management, additional inventory write-offs may be
required.

The Company has considered future
taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in
assessing the need for the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets.
In the event the Company were to determine that it would not be able to realize
all or part of its net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the
deferred tax assets would be charged to income in the period such determination
was made.
Under
the fair value recognition provision, stock-based compensation cost is measured
at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as
expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the
vesting period. We make certain assumptions in order to value and expense our
various share-based payment awards. In connection with valuing stock options, we
use the Black-Scholes model, which requires us to estimate certain subjective
assumptions. The key assumptions we make are: the expected volatility of our
stock; the expected term of the award; and the expected forfeiture rate. In
connection with our restricted stock programs we make assumptions principally
related to the forfeiture rate. We review our valuation assumptions periodically
and, as a result, we may change our valuation assumptions used to value stock
based awards granted in future periods. Such changes may lead to a significant
change in the expense we recognize in connection with share-based
payments.
In addition to its activities in the
United States, 7.8% of the Company’s 2009 sales were generated in Canada. We are
subject to general risks attendant to the conduct of business in Canada,
including economic uncertainties and foreign government regulations. In
addition, the Company’s Canadian business is subject to changes in demand or
pricing resulting from fluctuations in currency exchange rates or other
factors.
The Company’s $7.6 million investments
in marketable securities at December 31, 2009 are invested in highly rated and
liquid U.S. government securities and insured certificates of
deposit.
See Index to Consolidated Financial
Statements at Item 15(a).

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls
and Procedures.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our
management carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures”, as such term is
defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end
of the period covered by this report. This evaluation was carried out
under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including
our Company’s President, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer
(principal executive officer) and Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer
(principal financial officer). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of the end of the period
covered by this report, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated
and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management Report on Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act.
Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the
supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, and
effected by the Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and
the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records in
reasonable detail that accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and
disposition of assets; providing reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements in accordance
with GAAP; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of the
Company, are made in accordance with authorizations of management and
directors of the Company; and providing reasonable assurance that
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of Company assets that could have a
material effect on our financial statements would be prevented or detected on a
timely basis. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a
misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected.
In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods
are subject to the risk that, owing to changes in conditions, controls may
become inadequate, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures
may deteriorate.
Management,
with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting
Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control
over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2009.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during
the quarter ended December 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered
public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered
public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report
in this annual report.

Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board
of Directors and Stockholders
Wayside
Technology Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Wayside Technology
Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and
the related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders’ equity and
comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not
required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal
control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal
control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Wayside
Technology Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and
the results of their earnings and their cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have
also audited the consolidated financial statement schedule, Schedule II –
Valuation and Qualifying Accounts, for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2009. In our opinion, this financial schedule, when
considered in relation to the consolidated financial statements taken as a
whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information stated
therein.

Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements
(
Dollars in tables in thousands,
except per share amounts)
Wayside
Technology Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries, the “Company,” markets software to
software development and information technology professionals in the United
States and Canada. It was formerly known as Programmer's Paradise, Inc. and
changed its name to Wayside Technology Group, Inc. in August 2006. It operates
through two segments, Programmer's Paradise and Lifeboat. The Programmer's
Paradise segment sells technical software, hardware, and services for
microcomputers, servers, and networks to individual programmers, corporations,
government agencies, and educational institutions. Its solutions include
technical and general business application software from various publishers and
manufacturers. This segment markets these products through catalogs, direct mail
programs, and advertisements in trade magazines, as well as through Internet and
email promotions. Its catalogs offer collections of microcomputer technical
software, including programming languages, tools, utilities, libraries,
development systems, interfaces, and communication products. The Lifeboat
segment distributes technical software to corporate and value-added resellers,
consultants, and systems integrators.
Principles
of Consolidation and Operations
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make extensive use of certain estimates and assumptions
which 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 reported
periods. The significant areas of estimation include but are
not limited to accounting for allowance for uncollectible accounts, sales
returns, inventory valuation and obsolescence, income taxes, depreciation,
contingencies, stock-based compensation and costs associated with exit or
disposal activities. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Net
Income Per Common Share
The
Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260,
“Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings per share is calculated by
dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the
weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding,
adjusted for potentially dilutive securities.

Company considers all liquid short-term investments with original maturities of
90 days or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts
Receivable
Accounts
receivable principally represents amounts collectible from our customers. The
Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers but generally does
not require collateral to support any outstanding obligation. Allowances for
potential uncollectible amounts are estimated and deducted from total accounts
receivable.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Receivable
We
provide allowances for doubtful accounts related to accounts receivable for
estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required
payments. We take into consideration the overall quality and aging of the
receivable portfolio along with specifically identified customer risks. If
actual customer payment performance were to deteriorate to an extent not
expected, additional allowances may be required.

Foreign
Currency Translation
Assets
and liabilities of the foreign subsidiary in Canada have been translated at
current exchange rates, and related revenues and expenses have been translated
at average rates of exchange in effect during the year. Cumulative
translation adjustments have been classified within accumulated other
comprehensive income, which is a separate component of stockholders’ equity in
accordance ASC Topic No. 220, “Comprehensive Income”.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations in credit
risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. At December
31, 2009, the Company’s $7.6 million of investments in marketable securities are
only in highly rated and liquid U.S. government securities and insured
certificates of deposit.
The
Company’s cash and cash equivalents, at times, may exceed federally insured
limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company
believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash
equivalents.
Marketable
Securities
The
Company accounts for marketable securities pursuant to the ASC Topic No. 320,
“Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” Under this statement, the Company’s
securities with a readily determinable fair value have been classified as
available for sale and are carried at fair value with an offsetting adjustment
to accumulated other comprehensive income in Stockholders’ Equity.
Financial
Instruments
The
carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated fair value as of December
31, 2009 and 2008, because of the relative short maturity of these
instruments.
Inventory
Inventory,
consisting primarily of finished products held for resale, is stated at the
lower of cost (weighted average) or market.
Equipment
and Leasehold Improvements
Equipment
and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Equipment depreciation is
calculated using the straight-line method over three to five
years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the
straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the
related lease terms, whichever is shorter.

Accounts
receivable-long-term
Accounts
receivable–long-term result from product sales with extended payment terms that
are discounted to their present values at the prevailing market rates. In
subsequent periods, the accounts receivable are increased to the amounts due and
payable by the customers through the accretion of interest income on the unpaid
accounts receivable due in future years. The amounts due under these long-term
accounts receivable due within one year are reclassified to the current portion
of accounts receivable.
Comprehensive
Income
Comprehensive
income consists of net income for the period, the impact of unrealized foreign
currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on
investments. The foreign currency translation adjustments are not
currently adjusted for income taxes as they relate to permanent investments in
international subsidiaries.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company records revenues from sales transactions when title to products sold
passes to the customer. Usual sales terms are FOB shipping point, at which time
title and risk of loss has passed to the customer. Revenue is
recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 985-605 “ Software Revenue Recognition”
and ASC Topic 605-10-S99, and ASC Topic 605-45, "Reporting Revenue
Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent". The majority of the Company’s
revenues relates to physical products and is recognized on a gross basis with
the selling price to the customer recorded as net sales with the acquisition
cost of the product to the Company recorded as cost of sales. At the time of
sale, the Company also records an estimate for sales returns based on historical
experience. Certain software maintenance products, third party services and
extended warranties sold by the Company (for which the Company is not the
primary obligor) are recognized on a net basis. Accordingly, such revenues are
recognized in net sales either at the time of sale or over the contract period,
based on the nature of the contract, at the net amount retained by the Company,
with no cost of goods sold.
Vendor
rebates and price protection are recorded when earned as a reduction to cost of
sales or merchandise inventory, as applicable. Cooperative reimbursements from
vendors, which are earned and available, are recorded in the period the related
advertising expenditure is incurred. Cooperative reimbursements are recorded as
net sales in accordance with ASC Topic 605-50 “Accounting by a Customer
(including reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a
Vendor.”
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company has stockholder-approved stock incentive plans for employees and
directors. Stock- based compensation is recognized based on the grant date fair
value and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite
service period, which is generally the vesting period.

Income
Taxes
The
Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes.
Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities
and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when
the differences are expected to reverse. This method also requires a valuation
allowance against net deferred tax asset if, based on the weighted available
evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets
will not be realized.
Impact
of Accounting Pronouncements
As of
December 31, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
several pronouncements of significance to the Company which are discussed in
detail below.
In
May 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 855,
“Subsequent Events,” which establishes general standards of accounting for, and
disclosures of, events that occur after the balance sheet date but before
financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This
pronouncement is effective for interim or fiscal periods ending after
June 15, 2009. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material
impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows. However, the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 855 resulted in additional
disclosures with respect to subsequent events. The Company evaluated all events
or transactions that occurred after December 31, 2009 up through February 22,
2010, the date we filed this annual report on Form 10-K. During this
period no material subsequent events came to our attention.
In
June 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 105,
“Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” as the single source of
authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP. FASB ASC Topic 105 does not change
current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative
U.S. GAAP by providing all authoritative literature related to a particular
topic in one place. All existing accounting standard documents will be
superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the FASB
Codification will be considered non-authoritative. These provisions of FASB ASC
Topic 105 are effective for interim and annual periods ending after
September 15, 2009 and, accordingly, are effective for the Company for the
current fiscal reporting period. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have
an impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations, but
will impact our financial reporting process by eliminating all references to
pre-codification standards. On the effective date of this Statement, the
Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting
standards, and all other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not
included in the Codification became non-authoritative.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 320,
“Investments — Debt and Equity Securities” and Topic 325 “Investments - Other,”
which is designed to create greater clarity and consistency in accounting for
and presenting impairment losses on securities. The pronouncement is effective
for periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did
not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 825,
“Financial Instruments,” which amends previous Topic 825 guidance to require
disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim as well as
annual financial statements. This pronouncement is effective for periods ending
after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a
material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.

4. Fair
Value Measurements
Effective
January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value
Measurement and Disclosure”, which establishes a framework for measuring fair
value under generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures
about fair value measurements. The Company uses the following methods for
determining fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820. For assets and
liabilities that are measured using quoted prices in active markets for the
identical asset or liability, the total fair value is the published market price
per unit multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of
transaction costs (Level 1). Assets and liabilities that are measured using
significant other observable inputs are valued by reference to similar assets or
liabilities, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted
prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or
can be corroborated by observable market data (Level 2). For all remaining
assets and liabilities for which there are no significant
observable
inputs, fair value is derived using an assessment of various discount rates,
default risk, credit quality and the overall capital market liquidity (Level
3).
The
following table summarizes the basis used to measure certain financial assets
and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated balance
sheet:

The
Company receives a tax deduction from the gains realized by employees on the
exercise of certain non-qualified stock options for which the benefit is
recognized as a component of stockholders’ equity.
We
adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes” as of January 1,
2007. This standard clarified the accounting for uncertainties in income taxes.
The standard prescribes criteria for recognition and measurement of tax
positions. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest
and penalties, and disclosures related to income taxes associated with uncertain
tax positions.
The
Company has analyzed filing positions in all of the federal and state
jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all
open tax years in these jurisdictions. The Company has identified its
federal consolidated tax return and its state tax return in New Jersey and its
Canadian tax return as “major” tax jurisdictions, as defined. The only periods
subject to examination for the Company's federal return are the 2008 and 2009
tax years. The audit of the tax years 2006 and 2007 has been completed, with no
adjustments proposed by the Internal Revenue Service. The current
periods subject to examination for the Company's state returns in New Jersey are
years 2008 and 2009. The current periods subject to examination for the
Company’s Canadian tax returns are the years 2006 through 2009. The Company did
not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to adoption of accounting for
uncertainties in income taxes.
A
reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits
is as follows:

The
amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the
effective tax rate is $78 thousand. Interest expense and penalties related to
unrecognized tax benefits are classified as income tax expense. The
amount of interest and penalties was insignificant for the years ended December
31, 2009, 2008 and 2007.

7. Stockholder’s
Equity and Stock Based Compensation
The
Company’s 1986 Employee Stock Option Plan (“1986 Plan”), as amended on
June 15, 1994, provides for the grant of options to purchase up to
698,133 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to employees, officers and
directors of the Company. The terms of the options are for a maximum
of ten
F-16
Wayside
Technology Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in
tables in
thousands, except per
share amounts)
years
from date of grant and generally are exercisable at an exercise price equal to
but not less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date that the
option is granted. The options generally vest in equal annual installments over
five years. There are no additional options available for grant under the
Company’s 1986 Plan.
On
April 21, 1995, the Board of Directors adopted the Company’s 1995
Non-Employee Director Plan (“1995 Director Plan”). The 1995 Director
Plan, as amended on May 7, 1998, provides for the grant of
options
to purchase up to 187,500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to persons
who are members of the Company’s Board of Directors and not employees or
officers of the Company.
The 1995
Director Plan requires that options granted there under will expire ten years
from the date of grant. Each option granted under the 1995 Director
Plan becomes exercisable over a five year period, and vests in an installment of
20% of the total option grant upon the expiration of one year from the date of
the option grant, and thereafter vests in equal quarterly installments of
5%.
In
February 2002, the Board of Directors approved a plan permitting all option
holders under the 1986 Plan and the 1995 Plan to surrender all or any portion of
their options on or before March 1, 2002. By March 1, 2002, a total of 7,875
options to purchase the Company’s Common Stock under the 1986 option plan and
303,550 options to purchase the Company’s Common Stock under the 1995 Plan were
surrendered, of which 305,175 were surrendered by the Company’s executive
officers. All of the options surrendered were exercisable in excess of the
market price of the underlying Common Stock as of the dates of
surrender.
At the
annual stockholder’s meeting held on June 14, 2006, the Company’s stockholders
approved the 2006 Stock-Based Compensation Plan (the “2006 Plan”). The 2006 Plan
authorizes the grant of Stock Options, Stock Units, Stock Appreciation Rights,
Restricted Stock, Deferred Stock, Stock Bonuses, and other equity-based awards.
The number of shares of Common Stock initially available under the 2006 Plan is
800,000. As of December 31, 2009 the number of shares of common stock
available for future award grants to employees and directors under this plan is
273,500.
In August
of 2006, the Company granted a total of 315,000 shares of restricted common
stock to officers, directors and employees. Included in this grant were 200,000
restricted shares granted to the Company’s CEO in accordance with his employment
agreement. These 200,000 restricted shares vest over 120 months. The remaining
shares granted vest over 60 months.
During
2007, the Company granted a total of 30,000 shares of restricted stock to
officers, directors and employees. These shares vest over 60 months. A total of
12,500 shares of restricted common stock were forfeited as a result of employees
and officers terminating employment with the Company.
During
2008, the Company granted a total of 57,500 shares of restricted stock to
officers, directors and employees. These shares vest over 60 months. A total of
3,500 shares of restricted common stock were forfeited as a result of employees
and officers terminating employment with the Company.
During
2009, the Company granted a total of 140,000 shares of restricted stock to
officers, and employees. These shares vest over 60 months.

ASC Topic
280, “Segment Reporting,” requires that public companies report profits and
losses and certain other information on their “reportable operating segments” in
their annual and interim financial statements. The internal organization used by
the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to assess performance and
allocate resources determines the basis for reportable operating segments. The
Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer.
The
Company is organized into two reportable operating segments — the “Programmer’s
Paradise” segment, which sells technical software, hardware and services
directly to end-users (such as individual programmers, corporations, government
agencies, and educational institutions) and the “Lifeboat” segment, which
distributes technical software to corporate resellers, VARs, consultants and
systems integrators.
As
permitted by ASC Topic 280, the Company has utilized the aggregation criteria in
combining its operations in Canada with the domestic segments as they provide
the same products and services to similar clients and are considered together
when the CODM decides how to allocate resources.

segment as shown below as “Selected Assets”; it does not allocate its other
assets, including capital expenditures by segment.

11.
Loss on Lease
During
the second quarter of 2006, the Company made the decision to close down and
sublease it sales office in Hauppauge, New York. Based on forecasted sublease
income compared to estimated expenses, the Company recorded a liability and took
a charge of approximately $97 thousand during the second quarter of
2006.
The
Company’s tenant terminated its sublease in December 2007. After considering
information provided by the Company’s leasing agent the Company took an
additional charge of $76 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2007.
In 2008,
the Company took an additional charge of $141 thousand to fully reserve for the
remaining costs of the lease, as it was determined that due to the downturn in
the commercial real estate market in Long Island and with only a short time
remaining on our lease that it would be unlikely to secure another
subtenant.
