PC CONNECTION INC 10-K

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk ​ We invest cash balances in excess of operating requirements in cash equivalents and short-term investments, generally with maturities of less than one year. In addition, our credit facility provides for borrowings which bear interest at the greatest of (i) the prime rate (8.50% at December 31, 2023), (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% per annum and (iii) the daily BSBY Rate plus 1.00% per annum, provided that the rate shall at no time be less than 0% per annum. We believe the effect, if any, of reasonably possible near-term changes in interest rates on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows should not be material. Our bank of line credit, along with our cash equivalents and short-term investments exposes earnings to changes in short-term interest rates since interest rates on the underlying obligations are variable. Our average outstanding borrowings during 2023 were minimal, and as such a hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in interest rates is not material. While the nature of our short-term investments protects us from changes in short-term interest rates, a change in short-term interest rates could affect the fair value of our short-term investments. However, the change in earnings resulting from a hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in interest rates is not material. Inflation generally affects us by increasing our cost of labor and research, manufacturing and development costs. We believe that inflation has not had a material effect on our financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. However, our operations may be subject to inflation in the future. ​ Item 8.
