NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.
ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS — Our company was founded in 1990 and is a Delaware corporation. e Plus inc. is sometimes referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as “we,” “our,” “us,” “ourselves,” or “ e Plus.” e Plus inc. is a holding company that through its subsidiaries provides information technology solutions that enable organizations to optimize their IT environment and supply chain processes. We also provide consulting, professional and managed services and complete lifecycle management services including flexible financing solutions. We focus on selling to medium and large enterprises in North America, the United Kingdom (“UK”), and other European countries.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION — The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of e Plus inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounts of businesses acquired are included in the unaudited consolidated financial statements from the dates of acquisition.
INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — The unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, were prepared by us and include all normal and recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, changes in comprehensive income, and cash flows for such periods. Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2022, or any other future period. These unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) for annual financial statements. Our audited consolidated financial statements are contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021 (“2021 Annual Report”), which should be read in conjunction with these interim consolidated financial statements.
USE OF ESTIMATES — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters including, but not limited to, revenue recognition, residual values, vendor consideration, lease classification, goodwill and intangible assets, allowance for credit losses, inventory obsolescence, and the recognition and measurement of income tax assets and other provisions and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
CONCENTRATIONS OF RISK — A substantial portion of our sales are products from Cisco Systems, which were 42 % of our technology segment’s net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and 37 % for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — The significant accounting policies used in preparing these Consolidated Financial Statements were applied on a basis consistent with those reflected in our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2021 .

FINANCING RECEIVABLES AND OPERATING LEASES
O ur financing receivables and operating leases consist primarily of leases of IT and communication equipment and notes receivable from financing customer purchases of third -party software, maintenance, and services. Our leases often include elections for the lessee to purchase the underlying asset at the end of the lease term. Occasionally, our leases provide the lessee a bargain purchase option .
The following table provides the profit recognized for sales-type leases at their commencement date, including modifications that are recognized on a net basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020 (in thousands):

Amounts include estimated unguaranteed residual values of $ 3.5 million and $ 2.5 million as of June 30, 2021, and March 31, 2021, respectively.
TRANSFERS OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
We enter into arrangements to transfer the contractual payments due under financing receivables and operating lease agreements, which are accounted for as sales or secured borrowings.
For transfers accounted for as a secured borrowing, the corresponding investments serve as collateral for non-recourse notes payable. As of June 30, 2021, and March 31, 2021, we had financing receivables of $ 12.4 million and $ 60.5 million, respectively, and operating leases of $ 5.7 million and $ 3.3 million, respectively, which were collateral for non-recourse notes payable. See Note 8, "Credit Facility and Notes Payable."
For transfers accounted for as sales, we derecognize the carrying value of the asset transferred plus any liability and recognize a net gain or loss on the sale, which are presented within net sales in the consolidated statement of operations. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, we recognized net gains of $ 3.2 million and $ 2.5 million, respectively, and total proceeds from these sales were $ 75.3 million and $ 73.2 million, respectively.
When we retain servicing obligations in transfers accounted for as sales, we allocate a portion of the proceeds to deferred revenues, which is recognized as we perform the services. As of both June 30, 2021, and March 31, 2021, we had deferred revenue of $ 0.3 million for servicing obligations.
In a limited number of transfers accounted for as sales, we indemnified the assignee if the lessee elects to early terminate the lease. As of June 30, 2021, the total potential payments that could result from these indemnities is immaterial.

LESSEE ACCOUNTING
We lease office space for periods up to six years . We recognize our right-of-use assets as part of property, equipment, and other assets. We recognize the current and long-term portions of our lease liability as part of other current liabilities and other liabilities, respectively. We recognized rent expense of $ 1.3 million and $ 1.6 million for the three months ending June 30, 2021, and June 30, 2020, respectively, as part of selling, general, and administrative expenses .

Goodwill represents the premium paid over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets that are individually identified and separately recognized in business combinations. Our entire balance as of June 30, 2021, relates to our technology segment, which we also determined to be one reporting unit. The change in our goodwill balance during the three months ended June 30, 2021, is due solely to foreign currency translation.
We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, as of the first day of our third fiscal quarter, and between annual tests if an event occurs, or circumstances change, that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. In our annual test as of October 1, 2020, we performed a qualitative assessment of goodwill and concluded that, more likely than not, the fair value of our technology reporting unit continued to substantially exceed its carrying value.
OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Our other intangible assets consist of the following on June 30, 2021, and March 31, 2021 (in thousands):

Transfers consist of receivables that have been transferred to third-party financial institutions on a non-recourse basis and receivables that are in the process of being transferred to third-party financial institutions.
We evaluate our customers using an internally assigned credit quality rating (“CQR”):
•
High CQR: This rating includes accounts with excellent to good business credit, asset quality and capacity to meet financial obligations. Loss rates in this category are generally less than 1 % .
•
Average CQR: This rating includes accounts with average credit risk that are more susceptible to loss in the event of adverse business or economic conditions. Loss rates in this category are generally in the range of 2 % to 10 % .
•
Low CQR: This rating includes accounts that have marginal credit risk such that the customer’s ability to make repayment is impaired or may likely become impaired. The loss rates in this category in the normal course are generally in the range of 10 % to 100 % .

CREDIT FACILITY AND NOTES PAYABLE
CREDIT FACILITY
Within our technology segment, e Plus Technology, inc. and certain of its subsidiaries finance their operations, in addition to funds generated from operations, with a credit facility with Wells Fargo Commercial Distribution Finance, LLC (“WFCDF”). This facility provides short-term capital for our technology segment . There are two components of the WFCDF credit facility: (1) a floor plan component, and (2) an accounts receivable component.
The WFCDF credit facility has an aggregate limit for th e two components, except during a temporary uplift, of $ 275 million. We may elect to temporarily increase the aggregate limit to $ 350 million for a period of not less than 30 days, provided that all such periods shall not exceed 150 days in the aggregate in any calendar year. Additionally, the WFCDF credit facility has a limit on the accounts receivable component of $ 100 million. WFCDF charges us an interest rate equal to two percent ( 2.00 %) plus the greater of one month LIBOR or seventy-five hundredths of one percent ( 0.75 %).
As of June 30, 2021, the limit of the two components of the credit facility was $ 275 million. On July 2, 2021, we elected to temporarily increase the aggregate limit to $ 350 million.
Our borrowing availability under the credit facility varies based upon the value of the receivables and inventory of e Plus Technology, inc., and certain of its subsidiaries. We had outstanding balances of $ 139.6 million and $ 98.7 million under the floor plan component as of June 30, 2021, and March 31, 2021, respectively. This component is presented as part of as accounts payable – floorplan. We had no outstanding balance under the accounts receivable component as of June 30, 2021, and as of March 31, 2021. This component is presented as part of recourse notes payable – current. The fair value of the outstanding balances under the WFCDF credit facility were approximately equal to their carrying value as of June 30, 2021, and March 31, 2021.
17
Table of Contents
The WFCDF credit facility is secured by the assets of e Plus Technology, inc. and certain of its subsidiaries. Additionally, the credit facility requires a guaranty of $ 10.5 million by e Plus inc.
The credit facility restricts the ability of e Plus Technology, inc. and certain of its subsidiaries to pay dividends to e Plus inc. unless their available borrowing meets certain thresholds. As of June 30, 2021, and March 31, 2021 , their available borrowing met the threshold such that there were no restricted net assets of e Plus Technology, inc.
The credit facility requires that financial statements of e Plus Technology, inc. and certain of its subsidiaries be provided within 45 days of each quarter and 90 days of each fiscal year end, and requires that other operational reports be provided on a regular basis. Either party may terminate with 90 days’ written notice.
The loss of the WFCDF credit facility could have a material adverse effect on our future results as we currently rely on this facility and its components for daily working capital and liquidity for our technology segment and as an operational function of our accounts payable process.
RECOURSE NOTES PAYABLE
Recourse notes payable consist of borrowings that, in the event of default, the lender has recourse against us. We had $ 17.0 million and $ 18.1 million in recourse borrowings as of June 30, 2021, and March 31, 2021, respectively, that is resulting from one installment payment arrangement. Our payments under this installment agreement are due quarterly in amounts that are correlated to the payments due to us from a customer under a related notes receivable. We discounted our payments to calculate our payable balance using an interest rate of 3.50 % as of both June 30, 2021, and March 31, 2021 .
NON-RECOURSE NOTES PAYABLE
Non-recourse notes payable consists of borrowings that, in the event of a default by a customer, the lender generally only has recourse against the customer, and the assets serving as collateral, but not against us. As of June 30, 2021, and March 31, 2021 , we had $ 15.3 million and $ 56.1 million, respectively, of non-recourse borrowings that were collateralized by investments in notes and leases. Principal and interest payments are generally due monthly in amounts that are approximately equal to the total payments due from the customer under the leases or notes receivable that collateralize the notes payable. The weighted average interest rate for our non-recourse notes payable was 3.66 % and 3.35 %, as of June 30, 2021, and March 31, 2021 , respectively.
9.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are subject to various legal proceedings, as well as demands, claims and threatened litigation, that arise in the normal course of our business and have not been fully resolved. The ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain. When a loss related to a legal proceeding or claim is probable and reasonably estimable, we accrue our best estimate for the ultimate resolution of the matter. If one or more legal matters are resolved against us in a reporting period for amounts above management’s expectations, our financial condition and operating results for that period could be adversely affected. Any outcome, whether favorable or unfavorable, may materially and adversely affect us due to legal costs and expenses, diversion of management attention and other factors. We expense legal costs in the period incurred. We cannot assure that additional contingencies of a legal nature or contingencies having legal aspects will not be asserted against the us in the future, and these matters could relate to prior, current or future transactions or events .
10.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the basic weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the basic weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus common stock equivalents during each period.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
SHARE REPURCHASE PLAN
On March 18, 2021, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to 500,000 shares of our outstanding common stock over a 12-month period beginning May 28, 2021, and ending on May 27, 2022. The plan authorized purchases to be made from time to time in the open market, or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to availability. Any repurchased shares will have the status of treasury shares and may be used, when needed, for general corporate purposes.
On May 20, 2020, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to 500,000 shares of our outstanding common stock over a 12-month period beginning May 28, 2020, and ending on May 27, 2021. The plan authorized purchases to be made from time to time in the open market, or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to availability. Any repurchased shares will have the status of treasury shares and may be used, when needed, for general corporate purposes.
During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we purchased 17,629 shares of our outstanding common stock at a value of $ 1.6 million under the share repurchase plan; we also purchased 27,715 shares of common stock at a value of $ 2.6 million to satisfy tax withholding obligations relating to the vesting of employees’ restricted stock.
During the three months ended June 30, 2020, no shares of our outstanding common stock were purchased under the share repurchase plan; we purchased 37,640 shares of common stock at a value of $ 2.7 million to satisfy tax withholding obligations relating to the vesting of employees’ restricted stock.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
SHARE-BASED PLANS
As of June 30, 2021, we had share-based awards outstanding under the following plans: (1) the 2017 Non-Employee Director Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2017 Director LTIP”), and (2) the 2012 Employee Long-Term Incentive Plan ("2012 Employee LTIP"). These share-based plans define fair market value as the previous trading day's closing price when the grant date falls on a date the stock was not traded.
RESTRICTED STOCK ACTIVITY
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we granted 414 shares under the 2017 Director LTIP, and 77,861 restricted shares under the 2012 Employee LTIP. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we granted 716 shares under the 2017 Director LTIP, and 89,873 restricted shares under the 2012 Employee LTIP. A summary of the grants is as follows:

Table of Contents
Upon each vesting period of the restricted stock awards, employees are subject to minimum tax withholding obligations. Under the 2012 Employee LTIP, we may purchase a sufficient number of shares due to the participant to satisfy their minimum tax withholding on employee stock awards. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we withheld 27,715 shares of common stock at a value of $ 2.6 million, which was included in treasury stock.
COMPENSATION EXPENSE
We recognize compensation cost for awards of restricted stock with graded vesting on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. There are no additional conditions for vesting other than service conditions. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, we recognized $ 1.7 million and $ 1.9 million of total share-based compensation expense, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock was $ 13.7 million as of June 30, 2021, which will be fully recognized over the next 36 months.
We also provide our employees with a contributory 401(k) profit sharing plan, to which we may contribute from time to time at our sole discretion. Employer contributions to the plan are always fully vested. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, o ur estimated contribution expense for the plan was $ 0.8 million and $ 0.7 million, respectively.
13.
INCOME TAXES
We account for our tax positions in accordance with Codification Topic 740, Income Taxes . Under the guidance, we evaluate uncertain tax positions based on the two-step approach. The first step is to evaluate each uncertain tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained in an audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. For tax positions that are not likely of being sustained upon audit, the second step requires us to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
Our total gross unrecognized tax benefits recorded for uncertain income tax, and interest and penalties thereon, were negligible as of June 30, 2021, and June 30, 2020. We had no additions or reductions to our gross unrecognized tax benefits during the three months ended June 30, 2021. We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
14.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We account for the fair values of our assets and liabilities in accordance with Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure. The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of our financial instruments as of June 30, 2021, and March 31, 2021 (in thousands):

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT PLANNING (SMP)
On December 31, 2020, our subsidiary, e Plus Technology, inc., acquired certain assets and liabilities of SMP, an established provider of technology solutions and services in upstate New York and the Northeast. The acquisition enhances e Plus’ footprint across the region, broadens our technology solution offerings especially in the areas of collaboration and supporting virtual employees, and adds to e Plus’ set of commercial, enterprise and state, local, and education customers.

Our sum of consideration transferred was $ 27.0 million consisting of $ 29.0 million paid in cash at closing less $ 2.0 million that was paid back to us in our quarter ended March 31, 2021, related to a working capital adjustment. Our allocation of the purchase consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is presented below (in thousands):

The identified intangible assets of $ 14.3 million consists of customer relationships with an estimated useful life of seven years . The fair value of acquired receivables equals the gross contractual amounts receivable. We expect to collect all acquired receivables.
We recognized goodwill related to this transaction of $ 8.3 million, which was assigned to our technology reporting unit. The goodwill recognized in the acquisition is attributable to the acquired assembled workforce and expected synergies, none of which qualify for recognition as a separate intangible asset. The total amount of goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The amount of revenues and earnings of the acquiree since the acquisition date are not material. Likewise, the impact to the revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the current reporting period as though the acquisition date had been April 1, 2020, is not material.
