(UNAUDITED)

(1) Organization and Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Scan Source , Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared by the Company’s management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring and non-recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, the results of operations for the quarters and nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, and the statement of cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. The results of operations for the quarters and nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.

Business Description

The international distribution segment markets AIDC, POS, communications and security products as follows: Scan Source Latin America markets AIDC, POS, communications and security products. Scan Source Europe markets AIDC and POS products, while communication products are marketed through its Scan Source Communications sales unit in Europe.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Except as described below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 from the information included in Note 2 of the Notes to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. For a discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies, please see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains two zero-balance, disbursement accounts at separate financial institutions in which the Company does not maintain depository relationships. Due to the nature of the Company’s banking relationships with these institutions, the Company does not have the right to offset outstanding checks from these accounts against cash on hand. Checks released but not yet cleared from these accounts in the amounts of $45.0 million and $62.7 million are classified to accounts payable as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Variable Interest Entities

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810 as it relates to variable interest entities (VIE). ASC 810 amends prior authoritative literature, FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). This guidance amends the evaluation criteria to identify the primary beneficiary of a VIE and requires ongoing assessment of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The determination of whether a reporting entity is required to consolidate another entity is based on, among other things, the other entity’s purpose and design and the reporting entity’s ability to direct the activities

that most significantly impact the other entity’s economic performance. This guidance is effective for the annual periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company adopted ASC 810 as it relates to VIE in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Multi-element Revenue Arrangements

In October 2009, the FASB issued an update to the existing multi-element revenue guidance, ASC 605-25. This revised guidance primarily provides two significant changes: 1) eliminates the need for objective and reliable evidence of the fair value for the undelivered element in order for a delivered item to be treated as a separate unit of accounting, and 2) eliminates the residual method to allocate the arrangement consideration. This accounting update is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted provided that the revised guidance is retroactively applied to the beginning of the year of adoption. This standard became applicable to the Company beginning on July 1, 2010 and did not have an impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses

In July 2010, the FASB issued an update to the existing guidance regarding disclosures of financing receivables and the related allowance recorded against financing receivables, ASC 310. This revised guidance requires companies to disclose additional information in order to help financial statement users evaluate the following: 1) the nature of credit risk inherent in the entity’s portfolio of financing receivables, 2) how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses and 3) the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses.

This accounting update requires two types of disclosures: 1) disclosures as of the end of a reporting period and 2) disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period.

Disclosures required as of the end of a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted this guidance as it relates to period ending disclosures on October 1, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Disclosures required about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted the guidance as it relates to periodic activity on January 1, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

(3) Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common and potential common shares outstanding.

For the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2011, there were 475,289 and 371,253 weighted average shares outstanding, respectively, that are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

For the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2010, there were 1,030,365 and 1,117,119 weighted average shares outstanding, respectively, that are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) included in stockholders’ equity totaled $1,577 and ($11,734) at March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively, and consisted primarily of foreign currency translation adjustments arising from the consolidation of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, and unrealized gains and losses on hedged transactions, net of tax.

(5) Acquisitions

On November 30, 2009, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of Algol Europe, GmbH for €6.7 million ($10.0 million) in our international distribution segment. Algol Europe, now a part of Scan Source Communications Europe, is a value-added distributor of specialty technologies, including voice, data, and video communication products located in Cologne, Germany. This acquisition significantly expanded the footprint of the Scan Source Communications sales unit outside of the United Kingdom and is part of the Company’s strategy to become a pan-European distributor of communication products. The purchase price of this acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the transaction date, resulting in approximately $0.7 million in goodwill and $2.3 million of identifiable intangible assets related to non-compete agreements, distributor agreements and customer relationships as of November 30, 2009. These amounts were recorded in the international segment. All professional fees and other costs associated with our acquisition of these assets were expensed as incurred.

There was no acquisition activity during the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The change in goodwill from June 30, 2010 relates entirely to foreign exchange fluctuations.

Included within other assets described in the balance sheet are net identifiable intangible assets of $15.1 million and $16.5 million at March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively. These amounts relate primarily to customer relationships, non-compete agreements, trade names, and distributor agreements associated with prior period acquisitions.

The Company has a €6.0 million secured revolving credit facility which bears interest at the 30 day Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) plus a spread of 1.25 per annum. There were $2.0 million (€1.4 million) and no borrowings outstanding under this facility as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively. This facility is secured by the assets of our European operations and is guaranteed by Scan Source , Inc.

Revolving credit facility

   $ 2,115       $ —     
                 

On September 28, 2007, the Company entered into a $250 million multi-currency revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks that matures on September 28, 2012. This revolving credit facility has a $50 million accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the availability to $300 million subject to obtaining commitments for the incremental capacity from existing or new lenders. The facility is guaranteed by the Company and its domestic subsidiaries and is secured by substantially all of the domestic assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries. The facility bears interest at a rate equal to a spread over the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or prime rate, as chosen by the Company. This spread is dependent on the Company’s ratio of funded debt to EBITDA (as defined in the credit facility) and ranges from 0.50% to 1.25% for LIBOR-based loans, and from 0.00% to 0.25% for prime rate-based loans. The spread in effect as of March 31, 2011 was 0.50% for LIBOR-based loans and 0.00% for prime rate-based loans. The agreement subjects the Company to certain financial covenants, including minimum fixed charge and leverage ratio covenants. The agreement also has certain restrictive covenants that, among other things, place limitations on the payment of cash dividends. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the credit facility as of March 31, 2011. There were $2.1 million of outstanding borrowings on this facility as of March 31, 2011, leaving $247.9 million available for additional borrowings.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, the Company borrowed $433.6 million on the revolving credit facility. The Company repaid $432.3 million during the same nine month period. The net cash flows for the nine month period was $1.3 million. The $0.8 million difference between the $1.3 million net cash flows and $2.1 million ending balance is due to translating all euro borrowings and repayments at the average exchange rate each month and the ending euro balance at the period ending spot rate. Additionally, the average daily balance on the revolving credit facility was $17.5 million and $9.5 million for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2011, respectively.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2010, the Company borrowed $80.4 million on the revolving credit facility. The Company repaid $80.4 million during the same nine month period. There was no outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility at the end of the nine month period. Additionally, the average daily balance on the revolving credit facility was $2.9 million and $1.1 million for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2010, respectively.

On August 1, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with the State of Mississippi in order to provide financing for the acquisition and installation of certain equipment to be utilized at the Company’s current Southaven, Mississippi distribution facility, through the issuance of an industrial development revenue bond. The bond matures on September 1, 2032 and accrues interest at the 30-day LIBOR rate plus a spread of 0.85%. The terms of the bond allow for payment of interest only for the first 10 years of the agreement, and then, starting on September 1, 2018 through 2032, principal and interest payments are due until the maturity date or the redemption of the bond. As of March 31, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under this bond.

On January 2, 2008, the Company entered into a $25 million promissory note with a third party lender. This note payable accrues interest on the unpaid balance at a rate per annum equal to the 30-day LIBOR plus 0.65% and matures on September 28, 2012. The terms of the note payable allow for payments to be due and payable in consecutive monthly payments of accrued interest only, commencing on January 31, 2008, and continuing on the last day of each month thereafter until the principal balance is fully re-paid. This note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without penalty. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company has agreed not to encumber its headquarters’ property, except as permitted by the lender. As of March 31, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under this note payable.

The book value of debt listed above is considered to approximate fair value, as our debt instruments are indexed to LIBOR or the prime rate using the market approach (level 2 criteria).

(8) Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The Company’s results of operations could be materially impacted by significant changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. These risks and the management of these risks are discussed in greater detail below. In an effort to manage the exposure to these risks, the Company periodically enters into various derivative instruments. The Company’s accounting policies for these instruments are based on whether the instruments are designated as hedge or non-hedge instruments in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments or the ineffective portions of cash flow hedges are adjusted to fair value through earnings in other income and expense.

Foreign Currency— The Company conducts a portion of its business internationally in a variety of foreign currencies. The exposure to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates arises from foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, and transactions arising from non-functional currency financing or trading activities. The Company’s objective is to preserve the economic value of non-functional currency denominated cash flows. The Company attempts to hedge transaction exposures with natural offsets to the fullest extent possible and, once these opportunities have been exhausted, through short term forward contracts or other hedging instruments with third parties. At March 31, 2011, the Company had contracts outstanding with notional amounts of $102.9 million to exchange foreign currencies, including the US Dollar, Euro, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, and Mexican Peso. To date, the Company has chosen not to designate these derivatives as hedging instruments, and accordingly, these instruments are adjusted to fair value through earnings in other income and expense. Summarized financial information related to these derivative contracts and changes in the underlying value of the foreign currency exposures are as follows:

Interest Rates— the Company’s earnings are also affected by changes in interest rates due to the impact those changes have on interest expense from floating rate debt instruments. To manage the exposure to interest rates, the Company may enter into interest rate swap hedges. In January 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge the variability in future cash flows of interest payments related to the $25 million promissory note payable discussed in Note 7. Interest rate differentials paid or received under the swap agreement are recognized as adjustments to interest expense. To the extent the swap is effective in offsetting the variability of the hedged cash flow, changes in the fair value of the swap are not included in current earnings but are reported as other comprehensive income (loss). The fair value of the swap was a liability of $0.4 million as of March 31, 2011. To date, there has not been any significant ineffectiveness associated with this instrument, and there are no other swap agreements outstanding.

The components of the cash flow hedge included in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of income taxes, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, are as follows:

(9) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are required to be grouped in one of three levels. The levels prioritize the inputs used to measure the fair value of the assets or liabilities. These levels are:

 

   

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

 

   

Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;

 

   

Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e. supported by little or no market activity).

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Company’s short-term investments and financial instruments by the above categories as of March 31, 2011:

The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts are measured using the market approach on a recurring basis considering foreign currency spot rates and forward rates quoted by banks or foreign currency dealers (level 2 criteria).

The Company’s interest rate swap contract is measured using the market approach on a recurring basis considering LIBOR forward rates quoted by the Company’s counter-party (level 2 criteria).

(10) Segment Information

The Company is a leading distributor of specialty technology products, providing value-added distribution sales to resellers in the specialty technology markets. The Company has two reporting segments, based on geographic location. The measure of segment profit is operating income, and the accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.

North American Distribution

North American Distribution offers products for sale in four primary categories: (i) AIDC and POS equipment sold by the Scan Source POS and Barcoding sales unit, (ii) voice, data and converged communications equipment sold by the Catalyst Telecom sales unit, (iii) video conferencing, telephony, and communications products sold by the Scan Source Communications unit, (iv) physical security products and wireless infrastructure products sold by the Scan Source Security Distribution sales unit. These products are sold to more than 14,300 resellers and integrators of technology products that are geographically disbursed over the United States and Canada in a pattern that mirrors population concentration. No single account represented more than 6% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for the quarters and nine months ended March 31, 2011 or 2010, respectively.

International Distribution

The international distribution segment sells to two geographic areas, Latin America (including Mexico) aggregated with Europe, and offers AIDC and POS equipment as well as communications products to more than 7,600 resellers and integrators of technology products. Of this segment’s customers, no single account represented more than 1% of the Company’s consolidated net sales during the quarters and nine months ended March 31, 2011 or 2010, respectively.

Inter-segment sales consist primarily of sales by the North American distribution segment to the international distribution segment. All inter-segment revenues and profits have been eliminated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

(11) Commitments and Contingencies

The Company and its subsidiaries are, from time to time, parties to lawsuits arising out of operations. Although there can be no assurance, based upon information known to the Company, the Company believes that any liability resulting from an adverse determination of such lawsuits would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

(12) Income Taxes

The Company had approximately $2.3 million of total gross unrecognized tax benefits including interest for both periods ended March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010. Of this total, approximately $2.0 million represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that are permanent in nature and, if recognized, would affect the annual effective tax rate in both periods. The Company does not believe that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within twelve months of the reporting date.

The Company conducts business globally and, as a result, one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal, various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities in countries in which it operates. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years before 2007.

The Company’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of March 31, 2011, the Company had approximately $0.9 million accrued for interest and penalties, none of which was a current period expense.

Income taxes for the interim period presented have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements on the basis of an estimated annual effective tax rate. In addition to the amount of tax resulting from applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to pre-tax income, the Company includes certain items treated as discrete events to arrive at an estimated overall tax amount. There were no significant discrete items in the period.

The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily as a result of state income taxes.

(13) Subsequent Events

In accordance with ASC 855 – Subsequent events , the Company has evaluated events occurring between the end of our most recent quarter and the date the financial statements were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

On April 8, 2011, the Company entered into an amendment and waiver to its $250 million revolving credit facility to allow for the acquisition of CDC Brasil Distribuidora LTDA mentioned below. In addition this amendment allows for greater flexibility in the credit facility’s covenants for future acquisitions.

On April 15, 2011, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, ScanSource do Brasil Participações LTDA completed its acquisition of all of the shares of CDC Brasil, S.A., formerly called CDC Brasil Distribuidora LTDA (“CDC Brasil”), pursuant to a Share Purchase and Sale Agreement dated April 7, 2011. CDC Brasil is Brazil’s leading distributor of AIDC and point-of-sale solutions. This acquisition will enable the Company to expand its presence in South America’s largest information technology market. The transaction is structured as an all cash share purchase with an initial cash payment of R$57.3 million (approximately $36.6 million), assumption of working capital debt at closing and four subsequent annual payments through June 30, 2015, based on the annual financial results of CDC Brasil. The estimated total purchase consideration of the business without assuming any increase or decrease in forecasted earnings or foreign exchange at the date of closing is approximately R$103.0 million (approximately $65.5 million). The transaction will be funded with cash on hand and the Company’s existing revolving credit facility. The Company is in process of determining the valuation and purchase accounting for CDC Brasil which includes, among other things, conversion of the historical financial statements to US GAAP, valuation of the contingent consideration to be paid in future periods, identification of intangible assets and valuation of identifiable assets and liabilities. Therefore, all business combination disclosures set forth by ASC 805 are not practicable at this time.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Scan Source , Inc. is a leading wholesale distributor of specialty technology products, providing value-added distribution sales to resellers in the specialty technology markets. The Company distributes more than 66,000 products worldwide. The Company has two geographic distribution segments: one serving North America from the Southaven, Mississippi distribution center, and an international segment currently serving Latin America (including Mexico) and Europe from distribution centers located in Florida and Mexico, and in Belgium and Germany, respectively. The North American distribution segment markets automatic identification and data capture (“AIDC”) and point-of-sale (“POS”) products through its Scan Source POS and Barcoding sales unit; voice, data and converged communications equipment through its Catalyst Telecom sales unit; video conferencing, telephony and communications products through its Scan Source Communications sales unit; and physical security products and wireless infrastructure products through its Scan Source Security Distribution sales unit. The international distribution segment markets AIDC, POS, communications, and security products as follows: Scan Source Latin America markets AIDC, POS, communications and security products. Scan Source Europe markets AIDC and POS products, while communication products are marketed through its Scan Source Communications sales unit in Europe.

The Company was incorporated in South Carolina in December 1992 and is headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina. The Company serves North America from a single, centrally located distribution center located in Southaven, Mississippi, near the FedEx hub. The single warehouse and strong management information system form the cornerstone of the Company’s cost-driven operational strategy. This strategy has been expanded to Latin America and Europe, with distribution centers located in Florida and Mexico, and in Belgium and Germany, respectively.

The Company’s objective is to continue to grow profitable sales in the technologies we distribute. In doing so, our management team faces numerous challenges that require attention and resources. First, certain business units and geographies are experiencing increased competition for the products we distribute. This could affect both our market share and pricing of our products as Management may change strategy in order to effectively compete. The Company continues making investments in Latin America and certain businesses within Europe by temporarily accepting lower than normal returns in the business in an effort to gain market share and customers. Furthermore, the Company is implementing a standardized Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system that is intended to be used throughout the world and provide operational efficiencies. The Company is expecting to begin transition of the new ERP system in certain business units in fiscal year 2012 and continue to transition other business units into 2013. Finally, the Company continues to evaluate strategic acquisitions to enhance our technological or geographic portfolio. Management is currently working to integrate our most recent acquisition, CDC Brasil, S.A., formerly called CDC Brasil Distribuidora LTDA. CDC Brasil, S.A. is Brazil’s leading distributor of AIDC and point-of-sale solutions.

Evaluating Financial Condition and Operating Performance

The Company’s management places a significant emphasis on operating income and return on invested capital (“ROIC”) in evaluating and monitoring the Company’s financial condition and operating performance. Management uses ROIC, a non-GAAP measure, to assess its efficiency at allocating the capital under its control to generate returns. ROIC is computed by the Company as net income plus income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, divided by invested capital, and then annualized by calendar days. Invested capital is defined as average equity plus daily average interest bearing debt for the period.

The following table summarizes the Company’s annualized return on invested capital ratio for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively:

 

     Quarter ended March 31,

Return on invested capital ratio, annualized ( 1 )

     18.2     16.8

Table of Contents

The discussion that follows this overview explains the increase in ROIC from the comparative period. The Company uses ROIC as a performance measurement because it believes that this metric best balances the Company’s operating results with its asset and liability management, excludes the results of capitalization decisions, is easily computed and communicated and drives changes in shareholder value. The components of this calculation and reconciliation to the Company’s financial statements are shown on the following schedule:

1)

In the prior year, annualized EBITDA was calculated by multiplying quarterly EBITDA times four quarters. In the current year, annualized EBITDA is calculated by determining daily EBITDA (90 days in the current quarter) and multiplying the daily EBITDA times 365 days. As Company management has changed the method for determining annualized EBITDA is determined, the 16.8% currently reported for the comparative prior year period ROIC does not agree to the 16.5% reported in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

2)

Average funded debt is calculated as the daily average amounts outstanding on our revolving and long-term debt facilities.

ROIC increased significantly from the prior year quarter to 18.2% from 16.8%. The increase in EBITDA is mainly driven by increased sales volumes, partially offset by increased operating expenses related to the increase in volume. Additionally, included in operating expenses in the current quarter is a charge of $2.4 million related to the funding of the Founder’s SERP, a supplemental executive retirement plan for a former executive who recently retired and joined our Board of Directors, which had an unfavorable impact on the EBITDA for the current quarter.

On a comparative basis, consolidated worldwide net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 increased 23.7% to $613.5 million. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, net sales increased to $1.9 billion, a 26.0% increase from the comparative prior year period. During both the current quarter and year-to-date periods, the Company experienced stronger demand in all of our geographic segments due to an improving global economy and increased end user demand.

North American Distribution

The North American distribution segment includes sales to technology resellers in the United States and Canada that originate from our centralized distribution facility located in Southaven, Mississippi. For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, net sales increased over the comparative prior year period by $84.5 million, or 22.4%, and comparative net sales for the year-to-date period increased by $276.5 million, or 23.0%.

The Company’s North American POS, bar-coding, and security product categories saw revenues increase by 17.3% in comparison to the prior year quarter. On a year-to-date basis, comparative revenues increased by 19.5%. The Company has seen significant volume growth in most product lines in these sales units driven by incremental demand and market share penetration for many of our security products.

The Company has two North American sales units that sell communications products to our customers – the Catalyst Telecom sales unit and the Scan Source Communications sales unit. The combined sales of these units increased by 28.3% and 27.1% over the comparable quarter and year-to-date periods ended March 31, 2011, respectively. Our voice, video and networking products have continued to benefit from increased demand and growth in new product lines.

International Distribution

The international distribution segment includes sales to Latin America (including Mexico) and Europe from the Scan Source POS and Barcoding sales units and in Europe through the Scan Source Communications sales unit. For the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2011, net sales for this segment increased by $32.9 million and $122.5 million, or 27.7% and 37.1%, respectively. The sales increase in both the current and year-to-date periods is driven primarily by strong volumes in Europe and Latin America, led by POS and Barcoding penetration throughout Europe in the current quarter. The quarter and nine month period sales growth was partially offset by a weaker average euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate from the comparable prior year periods. Changes in foreign exchange had an unfavorable impact of $1.1 million and $23.9 million on our international distribution net sales for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2011, relative to the comparable prior year periods. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuation, the sales increase for the current year quarter and nine months was 28.7% and 44.4%, respectively.

North American Distribution

Gross profit for the North American distribution segment increased 18.7% or $7.6 million and 21.4% or $26.6 million for the quarter and nine month periods ended March 31, 2011. As a percentage of net sales for the North American distribution segment, our gross profit decreased 30 basis points to 10.5% from the comparative quarter. In both the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2011, volumes are up, however margins as a percentage of net sales have declined slightly due to a change in mix for the period and an increase in large deals that were sold at lower margins than the prior year.

International Distribution

In our international distribution segment, gross profit increased by 28.1% or $3.8 million and 29.5% or $11.2 million for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2011. Gross profit, expressed as a percentage of net sales, remained constant from the comparable prior year quarter at 11.4%. On a year-to-date basis, the international distribution segment’s gross profit percentage decreased to 10.9% from 11.5% from the prior year. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales is driven by competitive pricing pressures, coupled with unusually high vendor program attainment levels achieved in the prior year.

Operating Expenses

   $ 40,349       $ 35,414       $ 4,935         13.9     6.6     7.1

Nine months

   $ 116,071       $ 107,312       $ 8,759         8.2     6.0     7.0

Operating expenses increased 13.9% or $4.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The primary driver in the increase in operating expenses is a charge of $2.4 million (40 basis points as a percentage of net sales) related to the funding of a supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”), known as the Founder’s SERP, for our founder and former Chief Executive Officer who retired during the quarter and has been named to our Board of Directors. Increased headcount and marketing spend over the prior year period also contributed to the increase in operating expenses. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses decreased 50 basis points to 6.6% from the prior year period. This decrease is driven primarily by increased sales, which lead to the achievement of greater economies of scale.

Operating expenses increased 8.2% or $8.8 million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2011. The increase is due largely to two events: 1) the aforementioned $2.4 million Founder’s SERP funding and 2) the $3.1 million legal settlement recovery that was received in the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, which reduced year-to-date operating expenses. In addition to these events, increased headcount and marketing spend over the prior year period contributed to the increase in operating expenses. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses decreased 100 basis points to 6.0%. This decrease is driven primarily by increased sales, which lead to the achievement of greater economies of scale.

Operating income increased 34.3% or $6.5 million and 53.1% or $29.1 million, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2011.

For the North American distribution segment, operating income increased $3.2 million and $24.7 million over the comparable quarter and nine month periods ended March 31, 2010, respectively. In the current quarter, the aforementioned $2.4 million Founder’s SERP funding was paid out of the North American distribution segment. Excluding the Founder’s SERP funding, operating income increased $5.6 million over the prior year quarter. Additionally, the aforementioned $3.1 million legal settlement recovery from the second quarter of this fiscal year favorably impacted operating income. Net of the impact of the Founder’s SERP funding and legal settlement recovery, operating income increased $24.0 million from the prior year nine month period and comprised 4.7% of net sales. Excluding these events, the increase in the percentage of net sales is driven by top line sales growth and related economies of scale.

The increase in operating income in our international distribution segment is driven by significant top-line growth from increased volumes. As net sales increased in our international distribution segment, operating income increased $3.3 million and $4.4 million for the quarter and nine month periods ended March 31, 2011, as a result of greater economies of scale.

Interest expense reflects interest paid related to borrowings on the Company’s revolving credit facility and other long-term debt agreements. Interest expense for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2011 was $0.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The increase in interest expense for both comparative periods is primarily the result of higher average debt balances between the respective periods on our $250 million revolving credit facility.

Interest income for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2011 was slightly lower than the comparative prior year periods. The Company generates interest income on longer-term interest bearing receivables, and, to a much lesser extent, interest earned on cash and cash-equivalent balances on hand.

Net foreign exchange gains and losses consist of foreign currency transactional and functional currency re-measurements, offset by net foreign currency exchange contract gains and losses. Foreign exchange losses and gains are generated as the result of fluctuations in the value of the euro versus the British pound, the U.S. dollar versus the euro, and the U.S. dollar versus other currencies. While the Company utilizes foreign exchange contracts and debt in non-functional currencies to hedge foreign currency exposure, our foreign exchange policy prohibits us from entering into speculative transactions.

Provision for Income Taxes

For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, income tax expense was $8.5 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 34.0%, which was lower than the 36.5% effective tax rate of the corresponding prior year period. The decrease in the effective tax rate from the prior year period largely reflects the benefit of changes to the international capital structure from the prior year period.

For the nine month period ended March 31, 2011, income tax expense was $29.2 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 35.2%, which was lower than the 36.5% effective tax rate of the corresponding prior year period. The decrease in the effective tax rate from the prior year period largely reflects the benefit of changes to the international capital structure from the prior year period.

   $ 53,862       $ 34,764       $ 19,098         54.9     2.8     2.3

The increase in net income for both periods is attributable to the changes in operations, as discussed above.

Acquisitions

On November 30, 2009, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of Algol Europe, GmbH for €6.7 million ($10.0 million) in our international distribution segment. Algol Europe, now a part of Scan Source Communications Europe, is a value-added distributor of specialty technologies, including voice, data, and video communication products located in Cologne, Germany. This acquisition significantly expanded the footprint of the Scan Source Communications sales unit outside of the United Kingdom and is part of the Company’s strategy to become a pan-European distributor of communication products. The purchase price of this acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the transaction date, resulting in approximately $0.7 million in goodwill and $2.3 million of identifiable intangible assets related to non-compete agreements, distributor agreements and customer relationships as of November 30, 2009. These amounts were recorded in the international segment. All professional fees and other costs associated with our acquisition of these assets were expensed as incurred.

On April 15, 2011, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, ScanSource do Brasil Participações LTDA completed its acquisition of all of the shares of CDC Brasil, S.A., formerly called CDC Brasil Distribuidora LTDA (“CDC Brasil”), pursuant to a Share Purchase and Sale Agreement dated April 7, 2011. CDC Brasil is Brazil’s leading distributor of AIDC and point-of-sale solutions. This acquisition will enable the Company to expand its presence in South America’s largest information technology market. The transaction is structured as an all cash share purchase with an initial cash payment of R$57.3 million (approximately $36.6 million), assumption of working capital debt at closing and four subsequent annual payments through June 30, 2015, based on the annual financial results of CDC Brasil. The estimated total purchase consideration of the business without assuming any increase or decrease in forecasted earnings or foreign exchange at the date of closing is approximately R$103.0 million (approximately $65.5 million). The transaction will be funded with cash on hand and the Company’s existing revolving credit facility.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations, borrowings under the revolving credit facility, secured and unsecured borrowings, and borrowings under the subsidiary’s line of credit. The Company’s cash and cash equivalent balance totaled $31.2 million at March 31, 2011, compared to $34.6 million at June 30, 2010, of which $5.3 million and $7.4 million were held outside of the United States as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively. Cash balances are generated and used in many locations throughout the world. The Company’s current intent is to permanently reinvest these funds in our businesses outside the United States to continue to fund growth in our International operations. Furthermore, our current plans do not require repatriation of funds from our International operations to fund its operation in the United States. If these funds were needed in the operations in the United States, the Company would be required to record and pay significant income taxes to the United States to repatriate these funds.

The Company’s working capital increased to $507.2 million at March 31, 2011 from $437.0 million at June 30, 2010. The $70.2 million increase in working capital is primarily due to increased accounts receivable and inventory balances between the two periods, partially offset by higher accounts payable. As of March 31, 2011, there was $2.1 million outstanding on the Company’s $250 million revolving credit facility. In addition, there was $2.0 million (€1.4 million) outstanding on the Company’s €6 million revolving credit facility in Europe.

Our number of day’s sales in receivables (DSO) was 56 at March 31, 2011 compared to 55 days at December 31, 2010 and 59 days at March 31, 2010. The DSO has improved from the prior year quarter due to favorable changes in customer mix over the prior year.

Inventory turnover decreased to 5.5 times in the current quarter versus 5.7 times in the comparative prior year quarter. The Company has strategically increased inventory levels of some products in response to market conditions and to take advantage of vendor programs.

Cash used in operating activities was approximately $1.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $84.8 million of cash used for the comparative prior year period. We began fiscal year 2010, with a significant cash balance of $127.7 million as a result of our cash management strategy implemented during fiscal year 2009. In the prior year, we invested our cash generated in the preceding year by pre-ordering and increasing inventory levels to strategically position the Company to accommodate anticipated current and future demand of our products.

During the second half of fiscal 2010, the Company began the implementation of a new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system to standardize our processes throughout the world. The implementation is expected to be phased-in over the next several years. The Company has spent approximately $14.1 million through March 31, 2011 since the inception of the project. Management expects that the cash flow impact of this project will be in the range of $4 to $5 million for remainder of fiscal year 2011, $8 to $14 million in fiscal 2012 and approximately $5 million in fiscal year 2013. We expect total expense for the project to be within $31 to $38 million, which includes cost of internal personnel and outside consultants. The Company expects to finance these costs using cash flow from operations and its revolving credit facility.

Cash used in investing activities for the nine month period ended March 31, 2011 was $10.2 million, compared to $14.0 million used in the comparative prior year period. Current year spending is related primarily to the aforementioned ERP implementation. In the prior year, the majority of cash used in investing activities was attributable to the acquisition of Algol Europe.

In the current nine month period, cash provided by financing activities amounted to $7.5 million, in comparison with cash provided of $0.9 million in the comparative prior year period. The increase is attributable to the exercise of stock options, coupled with increased borrowings on the Company’s $250 million revolving credit facility and €6.0 million secured revolving credit facility.

The Company has increased net borrowings on the $250 million revolving credit facility. Net borrowings at the end of the nine month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $2.1 million and $0.0 million, respectively. The average daily balance was $17.5 million and $9.5 million for the quarter and nine month period ended March 31, 2011 respectively, compared to $2.9 million and $1.1 million for the comparable prior year periods. Timing of payments to vendors may cause temporary spikes in borrowings. These borrowings are generally repaid as soon as cash flow permits. Interest expense associated with these borrowings and the average outstanding daily debt are disclosed in more detail in the discussion of Total Other Expense (Income) and the Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) calculation presented earlier in this report.

Table of Contents

On a gross basis, the Company borrowed $433.6 million on the revolving credit facility for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, and repaid $432.3 million during the same nine month period. For the nine months ended March 31, 2010, the Company borrowed $80.4 million and made repayments totaling $80.4 million as well.

In addition to our domestic revolving credit facility, the Company has a €6.0 million secured revolving credit facility utilized by our European operations which bears interest at the 30 day Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) plus a spread of 1.25 per annum. At March 31, 2011, there was $2.0 million (€1.4 million) outstanding on this facility, compared to no borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2010. This facility is secured by the assets of our European operations and is guaranteed by Scan Source , Inc.

On April 15, 2011, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, ScanSource do Brasil Participações LTDA completed its acquisition of all of the shares of CDC Brasil, S.A., formerly called CDC Brasil Distribuidora LTDA (“CDC Brasil”), pursuant to a Share Purchase and Sale Agreement dated April 7, 2011. The purchase price is to be paid with an initial payment of R$57.3 million (approximately $36.6 million) and assumption of working capital debt, which occurred on April 15, 2011, and variable, annual payments through June 30, 2015 based on the CDC Brasil’s annual financial results. The acquisition will be funded by cash on hand and our existing revolving credit facility.

On April 8, 2011, the Company entered into an amendment and waiver to its $250 million revolving credit facility to allow for the acquisition of CDC Brasil Distribuidora LTDA mentioned below. In addition this amendment allows for greater flexibility in the credit facility’s covenants for future acquisitions by increasing our approved spending capacity. However, we will be allowed to go above our pre-approved limit with approval from our banking syndicate.

On January 2, 2008, the Company entered into a $25 million promissory note with a financial institution. This note payable accrues interest on the unpaid balance at a rate per annum equal to the 30 day LIBOR plus 0.65% and matures on September 28, 2012. The terms of the note payable allow for payments to be due and payable in consecutive monthly payments of accrued interest only, commencing on January 31, 2008, and continuing on the last day of each month thereafter until fully re-paid. This note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without penalty. Under the terms of the note, the Company has agreed not to encumber its headquarters’ property, except as permitted by the lender. As of March 31, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under this note payable.

On January 4, 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $25 million and designated this instrument as a cash flow hedge of our exposure to variability in future cash flows associated with this note payable. Under the terms of the swap, the Company pays a fixed rate of 3.65% plus a fixed spread of 0.65% on the $25 million notional amount and receives payments from a counterparty based on 30 day LIBOR plus a fixed spread of 0.65% for a term ending on September 28, 2011.

On September 28, 2007, the Company entered into a $250 million multi-currency revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks that matures on September 28, 2012. This revolving credit facility has a $50 million accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the availability to $300 million, subject to obtaining commitments for the incremental capacity from existing or new lenders. The facility is guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries and is secured by substantially all of the domestic assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries. The facility bears interest at a rate equal to a spread over the applicable LIBOR or prime rate, as chosen by the Company. This spread is dependent on the Company’s ratio of funded debt to EBITDA (as defined in the credit facility) and ranges from 0.50% to 1.25% for LIBOR-based loans, and from 0.00% to 0.25% for prime rate-based loans. The spread in effect as of March 31, 2011 was 0.50% for LIBOR-based loans and 0.00% for prime rate-based loans. This agreement subjects the Company to certain financial covenants, including minimum fixed charge and leverage ratio covenants. The agreement also has certain restrictive covenants that, among other things, place limitations on the payment of cash dividends. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the credit facility as of March 31, 2011. There was $2.1 million outstanding on this facility as of March 31, 2011, leaving $247.9 million available for additional borrowings, compared to no borrowings at June 30, 2010 with $250 million available for additional borrowings.

On August 1, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with the State of Mississippi in order to provide financing for the acquisition and installation of certain equipment to be utilized at the Company’s Southaven, Mississippi distribution facility, through the issuance of an industrial development revenue bond. The bond matures on September 1, 2032 and accrues interest at the 30-day LIBOR rate plus a spread of 0.85%. The terms of the bond allow for payment of interest only for the first 10 years of the agreement, and then, starting on September 1, 2018 through 2032, principal and interest payments are due until the maturity date or the redemption of the bond. The outstanding balance on this facility was $5.4 million as of March 31, 2011, and the effective interest rate was 1.11%. The Company was in compliance with all covenants associated with this agreement as of March 31, 2011.

The Company believes that its existing sources of liquidity, including cash resources and cash provided by operating activities, supplemented as necessary with funds under the Company’s credit agreements, will provide sufficient resources to meet the Company’s present and future working capital and cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company’s principal exposure to changes in financial market conditions in the normal course of its business is a result of its selective use of bank debt and transacting business in foreign currencies in connection with its foreign operations.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of its borrowing activities, which include revolving credit facilities with a group of banks used to maintain liquidity and fund the Company’s business operations. The nature and amount of the Company’s debt may vary as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates on borrowings on the Company’s revolving credit facility, variable rate long term debt and subsidiary line of credit for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 would have resulted in a less than $0.1 million increase or decrease, respectively, in pre-tax income for the period.

To mitigate the risk of interest rate fluctuations associated with the Company’s variable rate long-term debt, the Company has implemented an interest rate risk management strategy that incorporates the use of an interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge to minimize the significant unplanned fluctuations in earnings caused by interest rate volatility. The Company’s use of derivative instruments has the potential to expose the Company to certain market risks including the possibility of (1) the Company’s hedging activities not being as effective as anticipated in reducing the volatility of the Company’s cash flows, (2) the counterparty not performing its obligations under the applicable hedging arrangement, (3) the hedging arrangement being imperfect or ineffective, or (4) the terms of the swap or associated debt may change. The Company seeks to lessen such risks by having established a policy to identify, control, and manage market risks which may arise from changes in interest rates, as well as limiting its counterparties to major financial institutions.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from its foreign operations in Canada, Mexico and Europe. These risks include the translation of local currency balances of foreign subsidiaries, inter-company loans with foreign subsidiaries and transactions denominated in non-functional currencies. These risks may change over time as business practices evolve and could have a material impact on the Company’s financial results in the future. In the normal course of business, foreign exchange risk is managed by using foreign currency forward contracts to hedge these exposures, as well as balance sheet netting of exposures. The Company’s Board of Directors has approved a foreign exchange hedging policy to minimize foreign currency exposure. The Company’s policy is to utilize financial instruments to reduce risks where internal netting cannot be effectively employed and not to enter into foreign currency derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The Company monitors its risk associated with the volatility of certain foreign currencies against its functional currencies and enters into foreign exchange derivative contracts to minimize short-term currency risks on cash flows. These positions are based upon our forecasted purchases and sales denominated in certain foreign currencies. The Company continually evaluates foreign exchange risk and may enter into foreign exchange transactions in accordance with its policy. Actual variances from these forecasted transactions can adversely impact foreign exchange results. Foreign currency gains and losses are included in other (income) expense.

The Company has elected not to designate its foreign currency contracts as hedging instruments, and therefore, the instruments are marked to market with changes in their values recorded in the Consolidated Income Statements each period. The underlying exposures are denominated primarily in British Pounds, Euros, Mexican Pesos and Canadian Dollars. At March 31, 2011, the fair value of the Company’s currency forward contracts outstanding was a net payable of less than $0.1 million. The Company does not utilize financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2011. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March 31, 2011. During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the risk factor set forth below and other information set forth in this report and in our other reports and statements that we file with the SEC, including our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended June 30, 2010 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future operating results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, and/or operating results.

We face special political, economic and regulatory risks by doing business in Brazil, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

As a result of our April 2011 acquisition of all of the shares of CDC Brasil S.A., formerly called CDC Brasil Distribuidora LTDA, a corporation organized under the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil (“CDC”), we now have substantial operations in Brazil and face risks related to that country’s complex tax, labor, trade compliance and consumer protection laws and regulations. Additionally, developing markets such as Brazil have greater political volatility, greater vulnerability to infrastructure and labor disruptions and are more likely than industrialized countries to experience market, currency and interest rate fluctuations and may have higher inflation. Any of these factors could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, in developing markets it may be common for others to engage in business practices prohibited by laws and regulations applicable to us, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or similar local anti-bribery laws. These laws generally prohibit companies and their employees, contractors or agents from making improper payments to government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Failure to comply with these laws could subject us to civil and criminal penalties that could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, competition in developing markets such as Brazil is increasing as our competitors grow their global operations. Our success in integrating CDC’s operations is critical to our growth strategy. If we cannot successfully increase our business in Brazil, our product sales, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Exhibit 10.2

FOUNDER’S SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN AGREEMENT

THIS FOUNDER’S SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN (“Founder’s SERP”) AGREEMENT made and entered into effective as of the 16th day of March, 2011, by and between ScanSource, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) and Steven H. Owings (hereinafter referred to as the “Executive”).

WHEREAS , Executive is a co-founder, former Chairman of the Board and former Chief Executive Officer of the Company and has been continuously employed by the Company since its inception for 19 years and during that period has rendered exceptional and faithful service on behalf of the Company and by reason thereof has both imparted and acquired experience and knowledge of considerable value to the Company; and

WHEREAS, the Executive desires to retire as an employee of the Company effective March 16, 2011 (the “Retirement”), and the Company desires to provide the Founder’s SERP benefit following his Retirement to provide a compensation opportunity and medical benefits that are similar to what the Executive was entitled to under his employment agreement for his contribution to the success and founding of the Company; and

WHEREAS, the Company recognizes that the Executive’s receipt of the above-referenced compensation and medical benefits were subject to certain contingencies in the Executive’s employment agreement with the Company while the compensation and medical benefits reflected in the Founder’s SERP are not subject to all of such contingencies and the benefits provided to Executive via the Founder’s SERP are fully vested; and

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive have previously entered into an Employment Agreement dated as of December 30, 2008, which the Company and Executive desire to supersede and replace with this Founder’s SERP.

NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the services heretofore rendered by the Executive and of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.         Retirement Benefit . Effective as of March 16, 2011, the Company shall establish a Deferred Compensation Account (“Account”) for the Executive under the terms of the ScanSource, Inc. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Nonqualified Plan”), and shall credit to the Account the amount of $2,350,000 and such amount shall be fully vested upon being credited to the Account. The Executive may direct the manner in which the Account is deemed to be invested in accordance with the terms of the Nonqualified Plan. On each of October 1, 2011, and January 1, 2012, the Company shall pay to the Executive from the Account an installment payment in the amount of $1,000,000. Beginning on January 1, 2013, and continuing on each January 1 thereafter up to and including January 1, 2018, the Company shall pay to the Executive from the Account an installment payment in an amount equal to (a) the value of the Account determined as of the last business day of the preceding year, divided by (b) the remaining number of annual payments due and owing hereunder (the “Retirement Payments”). In the event the Executive dies before the completion of all Retirement Payments, the remaining balance credited to the Account will be distributed to the Executive’s designated beneficiary in a single lump sum payment within the calendar month following the month in which the Company receives satisfactory proof of the Executive’s death. Such payments shall be subject to any and all applicable withholding, Social Security, employment, income and other taxes or assessments, if any, under the applicable tax law. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Account shall be administered in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Nonqualified Plan to the extent applicable.


2.         Special Health Care Benefit . The Executive and his spouse and children shall be entitled to obtain coverage under any group health plan or program (whether insured or self-insured, or any combination thereof) provided by the Company for the benefit of its active employees and their dependents (the “Health Plan”). Coverage under the Health Plan shall be made available from the date of Executive’s Retirement and shall continue for the following periods, as applicable (the “Coverage Period”):

(i) with respect to the Executive, the Coverage Period shall end on the earlier of the date the Executive attains age 65 or the Executive’s death;

(ii) with respect to the Executive’s spouse, the Coverage Period shall end on the earliest of the date the spouse attains age 65, the date the Executive would have attained age 65 in the event of his death prior to age 65, or the spouse’s death; and

(iii) with respect to the Executive’s children, the Coverage Period shall end on the date the child attains age 26.

The Company, consistent with sound business practices, shall use its best efforts to provide coverage for the Executive and the Executive’s spouse and children under the Health Plan during the Coverage Period, including, if necessary, amending the applicable provisions of the Health Plan and negotiating the addition of any necessary riders to any group health insurance contract. In the event the Coverage Period of the Executive or spouse ends upon attaining age 65, the Company will use its best efforts to assist the Executive or spouse in obtaining an individual Medicare supplement insurance policy. The amount of any premium required to obtain coverage during the Coverage Period or thereafter pursuant to this Paragraph 2 shall be paid entirely by the Executive or his spouse and children.

3.         Covenant Not To Compete . For and in consideration of the Retirement Payments described in Paragraph 1, and the Special Health Care Benefit described in Paragraph 2, Executive agrees not to become an officer or employee of, provide any consultation to, nor participate in any manner with, any other entity of any type or description involved in any major element of business which Company is performing at the time of Executive’s Retirement from the Company, nor will Executive perform or seek to perform any consultation or other type of work or service with any other firm, person or entity, directly or indirectly, in any such business which competes with Company, whether done directly or indirectly, in ownership, consultation, employment or otherwise. Executive agrees not to reveal to outside sources, without the consent of Company, any matters, the revealing of which could, in any manner, adversely affect or disclose Company’s business or any part thereof, unless required by law to do so. This Covenant Not To Compete by Executive is limited to any place where the Company or its affiliates is (or is attempting to) actively manufacturing, marketing, selling, or distributing its products within the two (2) years prior to the effective date of the Founder’s SERP, or places where the Company made affirmative steps to market or sell its products within the six (6) months prior to the effective date of the Founder’s SERP, and shall exist for and during the term of all Retirement Payments to be made under Paragraph 1, and shall not prevent Executive from purchasing or acquiring, as an investor only, a financial interest of less than 5% in a business or other entity which is in competition with the Company.

Executive acknowledges that the remedy at law for breach of Executive’s Covenant Not To Compete will be inadequate and that Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief as to any violation thereof; however, nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it, in addition to injunctive relief, whether at law or in equity, including the recovery of damages. In the event Executive shall breach any condition of Executive’s Covenant Not To Compete, then Executive’s right to any of the Retirement Payments becoming due under Paragraph 1 after the date of such breach, and the Special Health Care Benefit described in Paragraph 2 of this Agreement, shall be forever forfeited. This forfeiture is in addition to and not in lieu of any of the above-described remedies of Company and shall be in addition to any injunctive or other relief as described herein. Executive further acknowledges that any breach of Executive’s Covenant Not To Compete shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement.


4.         Administration of the Agreement . The Agreement shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) or the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) or its or their delegate (the “Administrator”). Subject to the provisions of the Agreement, the Administrator shall have full and final authority in its discretion to take any action with respect to the Agreement including, without limitation, the authority to (i) determine all matters relating to the payments; (ii) establish, amend and rescind rules and regulations for the administration of the Agreement; and (iii) construe and interpret the Agreement, to interpret rules and regulations for administering the Agreement and to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Agreement. In addition to action by meeting in accordance with applicable laws, any action of the Administrator with respect to the Agreement may be taken by a written instrument signed by the Administrator (including, where the Board or the Committee serves as the Administrator, by written consent signed by all of the members of the Board, or all of the members of the Committee, and any such action so taken by written consent shall be as fully effective as if it had been taken by a majority of the members at a meeting duly held and called). No individual shall be liable while acting as Administrator for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Agreement, and any such individual shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement in the manner provided in the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws and/or under applicable law.

5.         Claims Procedure . Any claim for benefits under this Agreement shall be made in writing to Company. If any claim for benefits under this Agreement is wholly or partially denied, notice of the decision shall be furnished to the claimant within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed 90 days after receipt of the claim by Company, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim. If such an extension of time is required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to the termination of the initial 90-day period. In no event shall such extension exceed the period of 90 days from the end of such initial period. The extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date on which the administrator expects to render a decision.

Company shall provide every claimant who is denied a claim for benefits written notice setting forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, the following: (i) specific reasons for the denial; (ii) specific reference to pertinent provisions upon which the denial is based; (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and (iv) an explanation of the Agreement’s claims review procedure as set forth below.

The claimant may appeal the denial of his claim to Company for a full and fair review. A claimant (or his duly authorized representative) may request a review by filing a written application for review with the Administrator at any time within 60 days after receipt by the claimant of written notice of the denial of his claim. The claimant or his duly authorized representative may request, upon written application to Company, to review pertinent documents, and submit issues and comments in writing.

The decision on review shall be made by the Administrator, who may, in its or his/her discretion, hold a hearing on the denied claim; the Administrator shall make this decision promptly, and not later than 60 days after Company receives the request for review, unless special circumstances require extension of time for processing, in which case a decision shall be rendered as soon as possible, but not later than 120 days after receipt of the request for review. If such an extension of time for review is required, written notice


of the extension (including the special circumstances requiring the extension of time) shall be furnished to the claimant prior to the commencement of the extension. In the event that the decision on review is not furnished within the time period set forth in this paragraph, the claim shall be deemed denied on review.

The decision on review shall be in writing and shall include reasons for the decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, and specific references to the pertinent provisions in the relevant documents on which the decision is based.

6.         Assignment of Rights; Spendthrift Clause . Executive shall have no right to sell, assign, transfer or otherwise convey the right to receive any payment hereunder. To the extent permitted by law, no benefits payable under this Agreement shall be subject to the claim of any creditor of Executive, or to any legal process by any creditor of any such person.

7.         Binding Effect . This Agreement shall be binding upon Executive, his heirs, personal representatives and assigns, and upon Company, its successors and assigns.

8.         Amendment of Agreement . This Agreement may not be altered, amended or revoked except by a written agreement signed by Company and Executive; provided, however, that if Company determines to its reasonable satisfaction that an alteration or amendment of the Agreement is necessary or advisable in order for the Agreement to comply with the Code, the Treasury Regulations, or any other applicable tax authority (collectively “Tax Law”), then, upon written notice to Executive, Company may unilaterally amend the Agreement in such manner and to such an extent as it reasonably considers necessary or advisable in order to comply with the Tax Law.

9.         Compliance with Code Section 409A . Notwithstanding any other provision in the Agreement to the contrary, if and to the extent that Code Section 409A is deemed to apply to the Agreement, it is the general intention of Company that the Agreement shall, to the extent practicable, comply with Code Section 409A, and the Agreement shall, to the extent practicable, be construed in accordance therewith. Without in any way limiting the effect of the foregoing, in the event that Code Section 409A requires that any special terms, provisions or conditions be included in the Agreement, then such terms, provisions and conditions shall, to the extent practicable, be deemed to be made a part of the Agreement, as applicable. Further, in the event that the Agreement shall be deemed not to comply with Code Section 409A, then neither the Company, the Administrator nor its or their designees or agents shall be liable to the Executive or other person for actions, decisions or determinations made in good faith.

10.         Governing Law . This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina.

11.         Entire Agreement . This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and replaces any and all prior agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF , the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed in its corporate name by its Chief Executive Officer, and attested by its Corporate Secretary, all by the authority of its Board of Directors duly given, and Executive has hereunto set his hand, each as of the day and year first above written.

The Shares are subject to each of the following restrictions. “Restricted Shares” mean those Shares that are subject to the restrictions imposed hereunder which restrictions have not then expired or terminated. Restricted Shares may not be sold, transferred, exchanged, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered. If Grantee’s service as a director of the Company terminates prior to vesting of the Restricted Shares for any reason other than as set forth in Section 2 hereof, then Grantee shall forfeit all of Grantee’s right, title and interest in and to the Restricted Shares as of the date of termination of service, and such Restricted Shares shall revert to the Company immediately following the event of forfeiture. The restrictions imposed under this Section shall apply to all shares of the Company’s Stock or other securities issued with respect to Restricted Shares hereunder in connection with any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend or other change in corporate structure affecting the Stock of the Company.

2. Expiration and Termination of Restrictions . The restrictions imposed under Section 2 will expire on the earliest to occur of the following (the period prior to such expiration being referred to herein as the “Restricted Period”):

(a) as to all of the Shares, the six month anniversary of the Grant Date, provided Grantee is then still providing services as a director of the Company; or

3. Delivery of Shares . The Shares will be registered in the name of Grantee as of the date of grant and may be held by the Company during the Restricted Period in certificated or uncertificated form.

shares of stock represented hereby are subject to the terms and conditions contained in a Restricted Stock Award Certificate between the registered owner of the shares represented hereby and ScanSource, Inc. Release from such terms and conditions shall be made only in accordance with the provisions of such Certificate, copies of which are on file in the offices of ScanSource, Inc.” Stock certificates for the Shares, without the first above legend, shall be delivered to Grantee or Grantee’s designee upon request of Grantee after the expiration of the Restricted Period, but delivery may be postponed for such period as may be required for the Company with reasonable diligence to comply, if deemed advisable by the Company, with registration requirements under the 1933 Act, listing requirements under the rules of any stock exchange, and requirements under any other law or regulation applicable to the issuance or transfer of the Shares.
