The results will be discussed in a conference call to be held on Friday, July 27, 2012 at 10:00 AM Eastern time. The dial-in telephone number is (866) 961-5936 and the pass code is "WSTG."

Cash and marketable securities amounted to $12.8 million, representing 42% of equity as of June 30, 2012. Working capital amounted to $20.3 million, representing 66% of equity as of June 30, 2012.

Net sales for the second quarter of 2012 increased 14% to $69.2 million compared to $60.7 million for the same period in 2011. Total sales for the second quarter of 2012 for our TechXtend segment were $15.6 million compared to $11.7 million in the second quarter of 2011, representing a 33% increase. Total sales for the second quarter of 2012 for our Lifeboat segment were $53.5 million compared to $49 million in the second quarter of 2011, representing a 9% increase.

"We delivered solid results in the second quarter of 2012. Our TechXtend division performed especially well," said Simon F. Nynens, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We continued to increase our market share and grow our service offerings."

The 14% increase in net sales in the second quarter of 2012 compared to 2011 was mainly a result of our continued focus on the expanding virtual infrastructure-centric business, the addition of several key product lines, and the strengthening of our account penetration.

Gross Profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 was $5.6 million compared to $5.6 million for the second quarter of 2011. Total gross profit for our TechXtend segment was $1.7 million compared to $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2011, representing a 34% increase. The increase in gross profit in the TechXtend segment was mainly a result of the increased sales volume. Total gross profit for our Lifeboat segment was $3.8 million compared to $4.3 million in the second quarter of 2011, representing an 11% decrease. The decrease in gross profit for the Lifeboat segment was mainly due to increased competitive pricing pressure within this segment and lower vendor rebate attainments. Vendor rebates and discounts for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 amounted to $0.4 million compared to $0.8 million for the second quarter of 2011. Vendor rebates are dependent on reaching certain targets set by our vendors. Vendors have been periodically substantially increasing their target revenues for rebate eligibility. Therefore, despite our increasing revenue, vendor rebates have declined.

Total gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, for the second quarter of 2012 was 8.1%, compared to 9.2% in the second quarter of 2011.

The attainment of gross profit dollars and the decrease in gross profit margins as a percentage of net sales were primarily caused by the increased competitive pricing pressure in both segments and by winning several large bids based on aggressive pricing, which we plan to continue.

Total selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the second quarter of 2012 were $3.5 million compared to $3.6 million for the second quarter of 2011, which was mainly the result of lower stock compensation and bad debt expense compared to 2011. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses for the second quarter of 2012 were 5.1% compared to 6.0% for the second quarter of 2011.

On July 24, 2012, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $.16 per share of its common stock payable August 17, 2012 to shareholders of record on August 7, 2012.
