Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Our plans and objectives are based, in part, on assumptions involving judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control.

PART I

Item 1. Business

(a) General Development of Business

     SED International Holdings, Inc., a Georgia corporation (“SED Holdings”), and its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, SED International, Inc., a Georgia corporation (“SED International”) (Collectively, SED Holdings and its subsidiaries, including SED International, are referred to herein as “SED,” “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”), were both initially incorporated in Delaware in 1986 to take over the operations of the business of Southern Electronics Distributors, Inc., a Georgia corporation engaged in the wholesale distribution of consumer electronic products. In fiscal 1999, both SED Holdings and SED International, reincorporated as Georgia corporations.

     SED is a distributor of microcomputer products, including mass storage, desktops, laptops, imaging, display, wireless products and consumer electronics throughout the United States and Latin America. SED offers an active base of over 6,500 reseller customers and a broad inventory of more than 3,500 products from approximately 170 vendors (direct and indirect), including such market leaders as Acer, Epson, Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, Seagate and Western Digital, through a dedicated sales force. SED distributes products in the United States from its strategically located warehouses in Atlanta, Georgia; Miami, Florida; City of Industry, California; and Richardson, Texas. SED services Latin America through its wholly-owned subsidiaries SED International de Colombia Ltda. in Bogota, Colombia and Intermaco S.R.L. in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

     In 2004, SED re-entered the wholesale consumer electronics distribution business. In addition to its current customers, SED offers consumer electronic products to the rent-to-own, e-commerce and retail channels. SED is offering consumer electronics products from leading vendors including JVC, LG, Mitsubishi, Samsung, Panasonic and Sansui, subject to distribution restrictions.

     SED also distributes wireless telephone products in the United States. SED is an indirect distributor for leading wireless telephone product vendors such as Blackberry, LG Infocomm, Motorola, Nokia, Palm and Samsung. In fiscal 2008, SED’s net sales of microcomputer products, including handling revenue, generated approximately 92.3% of SED’s total net sales, consumer electronics products represented 6.0% and wireless telephone products represented the remaining 1.7% .

     In February 2003, SED approved a plan to discontinue commercial operations of its Brazilian subsidiary, SED International do Brasil Distribuidora, Ltda. Accordingly, since the third quarter of fiscal 2003, the operating results of SED International do Brasil Distribuidora, Ltda. have been classified as a discontinued operation for all periods presented in SED’s consolidated statements of operations. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — “Discontinued Operations” and Note 11 of SED’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

(b) Financial Information about Industry Segments

     As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), we are not required to provide the information required by this item.

(c) Narrative Description of Business

Products and Vendors

     SED offers its customers a broad inventory of more than 3,500 products from approximately 170 vendors (direct and indirect), including such market leaders as Acer, Epson, Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, Seagate and Western Digital. SED is a distributor for leading consumer electronics product vendors such as JVC, LG, Mitsubishi, Samsung, Panasonic and Sansui, subject to distribution agreement restrictions. SED is an indirect distributor for leading wireless telephone product vendors such as Blackberry, LG Infocomm, Motorola, Nokia, Palm and Samsung. Microcomputer related products, including handling revenue, accounted for $441.7 million or 92.3% of SED’s net sales for fiscal 2008, $354.6 million or 86.8% of SED’s net sales for fiscal 2007. Approximately $28.8 million or 6.0% of SED’s net sales for fiscal 2008, $46.2 million or 11.3% of SED net sales for fiscal 2007, consisted of consumer electronics. Approximately $8.1 million or 1.7% of SED’s net sales for fiscal 2008, $7.6 million or 1.9% of SED’s net sales for fiscal 2007, consisted of wireless telephone products. SED continually evaluates its product mix and inventory levels and maintains flexibility by adjusting its product offerings based on demand. SED’s vendors generally warrant the products distributed by SED and allow the return of defective products.

     As a distributor, SED incurs the risk that the value of its inventory will be affected by industry-wide forces. Rapid technological change is commonplace in the microcomputer, consumer electronics and wireless industries and can quickly diminish the marketability of certain items, whose functionality and demand decline with the appearance of new products. These changes, coupled with price reductions by vendors, may cause rapid obsolescence of inventory and corresponding valuation reductions in that inventory. Accordingly, SED seeks provisions in its vendor agreements common to industry practice which provide price protections or credits for declines in inventory value and the right to return unsold inventory. No assurance can be given, however, that SED can negotiate such provisions in each of its agreements or that such industry practice will continue.

     SED purchases goods from approximately 170 vendors (directly and indirectly) and has negotiated favorable terms from certain vendors by purchasing a substantial volume of those vendors’ products. In fiscal 2008 and 2007, Acer accounted for 20.6% and 18.5% respectively, Hewlett-Packard accounted for 19.8% and 20.0%, respectively, of SED’s purchases. In fiscal 2008, Seagate Technology accounted for 13.6% of SED’s purchases.

     There can be no assurance that SED will be able to maintain its existing vendor relationships or secure additional vendors as needed. SED’s vendor relationships typically are non-exclusive and subject to annual renewal, terminable by either party on short notice, and contain territorial restrictions that limit the countries in which SED is permitted to distribute the products. The loss of a major vendor, the deterioration of SED’s relationship with a major vendor, the loss or deterioration of vendor support for certain Company-provided services, the decline in demand for a particular vendor’s product, or the failure of SED to establish good relationships with major new vendors could have a material adverse effect on SED’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

     Product orders typically are processed and shipped from SED’s distribution facilities on the same day an order is received or, in the case of orders received after customary cutoff time, on the next business day. SED relies almost entirely on arrangements with independent shipping companies for the delivery of its products to United States customers. Products sold within the Latin American markets are either picked up by the customer, or delivered to the customers or their agents from SED’s Colombia and Argentina facilities. Generally, SED’s inventory level of products has been adequate to permit SED to be responsive to its customers’ purchase requirements. From time to time, however, SED experiences temporary shortages of certain products as its vendors experience increased demand or manufacturing difficulties with respect to their products, resulting in smaller allocations of such products to SED.

Sales and Marketing

     SED’s sales are generated by a telemarketing sales force, which, on June 30, 2008 consisted of approximately 144 people in sales offices located in Atlanta, Georgia; Miami, Florida; City of Industry, California; Richardson, Texas; Bogota, Colombia and Buenos Aires, Argentina. Of the total number of salespersons on June 30, 2008, 99 people focused on sales to customers for export to Latin America and on sales in Colombia and Argentina. Substantially all of the export and Latin American-based salespeople are fluent in Spanish. SED’s Atlanta sales office maintains a separate telemarketing sales force for the sale of wireless telephone products to retailers and authorized dealer agents located throughout the United States.

     Members of the sales staff are trained through intensive in-house sales training programs, along with vendor-sponsored product seminars. This training allows sales personnel to provide customers with product information and to use their marketing expertise to answer customers’ questions about important new product considerations, such as compatibility and capability, while offering advice on which products meet specific performance and price criteria. SED’s salespeople are able to analyze quickly SED’s extensive inventory through a sophisticated management information system and recommend the most appropriate solution for each customer, whether that customer is a full-line retailer or an industry-specific reseller.

     SED’s domestic sales force is organized in teams generally consisting of two to six people. SED believes that its sales team concept provides superior customer service because customers can contact one of several people. Moreover, the long-term nature of SED’s customer relationships is better served by teams that increase the depth of the relationship and improve the consistency of service. It has been SED’s experience that the team approach results in superior customer service and better employee morale.

     Compensation incentives are provided to SED’s salespeople, thus encouraging them to increase their product knowledge and to establish long-term relationships with existing and new customers. Customers can telephone their salespersons using a toll-free number provided by SED. Customer communication is also conducted via electronic mail and instant messaging. In addition, salespeople initiate calls to introduce SED’s existing customers to new products and to solicit orders. Salespeople also seek to develop new customer relationships by using targeted mailing lists, vendor leads and telephone directories of various cities.

     The telemarketing salespersons are supported by a variety of marketing programs. For example, SED regularly sponsors shows for its resellers where it demonstrates new product offerings and discusses industry developments. Also, SED’s in-house marketing staff prepares catalogs that list available microcomputer, consumer electronics and wireless telephone products and routinely produces marketing materials and advertisements. In addition, the in-house marketing staff promotes products and services through SED’s Internet web page (www.sedonline.com) providing 24-hour access to on-line order entry. SED’s web page provides customers secured access to place orders and review product specifications at times that are convenient to them. Customers also can determine on a real-time basis inventory availability, pricing, and verify the status of previously placed orders through hyperlinks to certain independent shipping companies.

     SED prides itself on being service oriented and having a number of on-going value-added services intended to benefit both SED’s vendors and reseller customers. For example, SED is committed to training its salespeople to be technically knowledgeable about the products they sell. This core competency supplements the sophisticated technical support and configuration services also provided by SED. SED believes that its salesperson’s ability to listen to a reseller’s needs and recommend a cost-efficient solution strengthens the relationship between the salesperson and his or her reseller and promotes customer loyalty to SED.

     Management continually evaluates SED’s product mix and the needs of its customers in order to minimize inventory obsolescence and carrying costs. SED’s rapid delivery terms are available to all of its customers, and SED seeks to pass through its shipping and handling costs to its customers. However, SED does have many “free freight” customers and does offer “free freight” sometimes to remain competitive.

     SED offers various credit terms including, open account, prepay, credit card, third-party floor plan and COD to qualifying customers. SED closely monitors customers’ creditworthiness through its on-line computer system, which contains detailed information on each customer’s payment history and other relevant information. In addition, SED participates in national and international credit associations that exchange credit rating information on

4


customers. SED reviews customer’s credit worthiness based on sales trends, industry trends in geography, and other factors. SED establishes reserves for estimated credit losses in the normal course of business.

Customers

     SED serves an active, nonexclusive customer base of over 6,500 customers of microcomputer, consumer electronics and wireless handset products. Customers include value-added resellers, corporate resellers, retailers and etailers. SED believes the multi-billion dollar microcomputer, consumer electronics and wireless telephone wholesale distribution industries serve customers primarily on a nonexclusive basis, which provides SED with significant growth opportunities. During fiscal 2008, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of the total net sales of SED. SED believes that most of its customers rely on distributors as their principal source of microcomputer, consumer electronics and wireless telephone products.

Competition

     The microcomputer, consumer electronics and wireless telephone distribution industries are highly competitive, both in the United States and in Latin America. Competition in these industries is typically characterized by pricing pressures, product availability and potential obsolescence, speed and accuracy of delivery, effectiveness of sales and marketing programs, credit availability, ability to tailor specific solutions to customer needs, quality of product lines and services, and availability of technical support and product information. Additionally, SED’s ability to compete favorably is principally dependent upon its ability to manage inventory and accounts receivable and to control other operating costs. Successful management of SED also requires SED to react quickly and appropriately to short and long-term trends, price its products competitively, increase its net sales and maintain economies of scale.

     SED’s competitors include regional, national and international microcomputer, consumer electronics and wireless distributors, many of which have substantially greater technical, financial and other resources than SED, as well as vendors that sell directly to resellers and large resellers that sell to other resellers. Major competitors include Ingram Micro, Inc., Tech Data Corporation, Bell Micro, D&H, ASI, Brightpoint, Inc., and Synnex Information Technologies, Inc. in the United States; and MPS Mayorista in Colombia and Util-Of S.A.C.I. in Argentina. From time to time, these competitors may be used as vendors.

Seasonality

     SED’s sales currently are not subject to material seasonal fluctuations although no assurance can be given that seasonal fluctuations will not develop, especially during the holiday season in the United States and Latin America.

Employees

     As of June 30, 2008, SED had 372 full-time employees, 144 of whom were engaged in telemarketing and sales, 119 in administration and 109 in warehouse management and shipping. Management believes SED’s relations with its employees are good and SED has never experienced a strike or work stoppage. There are no collective bargaining agreements covering any of SED’s employees.

(d) Financial Information about Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export Sales

     During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, SED began selling directly to customers in Colombia through SED’s facilities in Bogota, Colombia. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, SED also began selling directly to customers in Argentina through SED’s facilities in Buenos Aires. Sales are denominated in the respective local currencies of these countries. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, approximately 41.2% and 39.5%, respectively, of SED’s net sales were to customers for export principally into Latin America and direct sales to customers in Colombia and Argentina. See Item 8 and Notes 9 and 11 to the consolidated financial statements of SED for additional information concerning SED’s domestic and foreign operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

     The following are certain risk factors that could affect our business, financial position and results of operations. These risk factors should be considered in connection with evaluating the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K because these factors could cause the actual results and conditions to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Before you buy our common stock or other securities, you should know that making such an investment involves risks, including the risks described below. The risks that have been highlighted below are not the only risks of our business. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be negatively affected. In that case, the trading price of our common stock or other securities could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Certain risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements include the following:

     Risks and Uncertainties — SED has at various times experienced a decline in net sales in the United States since fiscal 1998 and has incurred operating losses in either its domestic or certain of its foreign operations at various times during the past five fiscal years. Company management is continuing to focus on increasing sales and profit margins and reducing administrative and overhead costs. There is no assurance SED will be successful in connection with these efforts. Failure to effectively improve operating metrics could materially adversely affect SED’s profitability and financial condition.

     Numerous factors and conditions impact SED’s ability to achieve its profit goals, including, but not limited to, the following:

  • Continuation of distribution agreements — SED operates under formal but cancelable distribution agreements with certain of its suppliers. If these agreements were cancelled, SED would be forced to obtain its products through wholesalers. This would reduce SED’s profit margin on the affected products.

  • Availability of certain products — From time to time, due to production limitations or heavy demand, SED may only be able to purchase a limited amount of popular products from its suppliers.

  • Product margins — SED operates in a very competitive business environment. Accordingly, product margins are continually under pricing pressure. From time to time, SED receives price protection and other considerations from its vendors. While SED has no reason to believe such vendor consideration will not continue, no assurance can be given that such price protection and other considerations will continue to be received in the future.

  • Vendor credit — SED significantly relies on its suppliers for trade credit. Changes by the suppliers in their credit terms could force SED to obtain less favorable financing for its purchases.

  • Product obsolescence — SED offers a broad line of products that are subject to fast technological obsolescence, which increases the risk of inventory markdown. Through its vendor agreements, SED has certain stock return privileges, which vary from supplier to supplier. SED believes stock return

6


programs will continue in the future, but can give no assurance about whether these programs will continue.
  • Consumer electronics SED has re-entered into the distribution of consumer electronics, which is highly competitive. Some of SED’s competitors have substantially greater financial, marketing and distribution resources than SED and SED may be unable to successfully compete with these companies. Failure to successfully penetrate this market could have an adverse impact on SED’s cash flows, financial position and operating results.

  • Credit decisions and losses — SED maintains an experienced customer credit staff and relies on customer payment history and third party data to make customer credit decisions. Nevertheless, SED may experience customer credit losses in excess of its expectations. SED maintains credit insurance policies for certain customers located in the United States and select Latin American countries (subject to certain terms and conditions). However, the terms of the credit insurance agreement require SED to maintain certain minimum standards and policies with respect to extending credit to customers. If SED does not adhere to such policies, the insurance companies may not pay claims submitted by SED.

  • Proportionate control of general and administrative costs — SED attempts to control its overhead costs to keep such costs in line with its sales volume. As sales volumes fluctuate, SED must continually monitor its overhead costs and make adjustments timely and appropriately. Failure to control overhead costs could have an adverse impact on SED’s cash flows, financial position and operating results.

  • Uncertain and possibly volatile economic and political environment in Latin America — The general economic and political environment in both of the countries in which SED operates in Latin America is uncertain and, at times, volatile. As a result of these conditions, SED could experience unexpected costs from its operations in these countries.

  • Availability of credit facilities — SED has operated under a formal credit facility with a bank for many years that was subject to certain collateral limitations and contained certain covenants. During September 2005 a new credit facility was obtained. No assurance can be given that SED will be able to maintain compliance with financial covenants, or obtain waivers in the event of non-compliance, in the future. Failure to maintain compliance with the financial covenants could adversely affect SED’s ability to obtain vendor credit and the overall business operations. The principal credit facility, which expires in September 2011, is further described in Note 4 to SED’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

  • Cash flows — While not presently expected, SED’s continued operations in Latin America may require additional capital infusion (in the form of advance notes from the parent company or other debt borrowings by a subsidiary). The credit facility restricts the future funding by the parent company of Latin American operations. Operating needs and regulatory matters may restrict SED’s ability to repatriate cash flows from the foreign subsidiaries to the United States.

  • Competition — SED operates in a highly competitive environment. The computer wholesale distribution industry is characterized by intense competition, based primarily on product availability, credit availability, price, speed of delivery, quality and depth of product lines and training, service and support. Weakness in demand in the market intensifies the competitive environment in which the SED operates. SED competes with a variety of regional, national and international wholesale distributors, some of which have greater financial resources than SED. SED also faces competition from companies entering or expanding into the logistics and product fulfillment and e-commerce supply chain services market.

  • Loss of Significant Customers — Customers do not have an obligation to make purchases from SED. In some cases, SED has made adjustments to its systems, vendor offerings, and processes, and made staffing decisions, in order to accommodate the needs of a significant customer. In the event a significant customer decides to make its purchases from another distributor, experiences a significant change in demand from its own customer base, becomes financially unstable, or is acquired by another company, SED’s receipt of revenues may be significantly affected, resulting in an adverse effect on SED’s business.

7


  • Dependence on Information Systems — SED is highly dependent upon its internal computer and telecommunication systems to operate its business. There can be no assurance that SED’s information systems will not fail or experience disruptions, that SED will be able to attract and retain qualified personnel necessary for the operation of such systems, that SED will be able to expand and improve its information systems, that SED will be able to convert to new systems efficiently, or that SED will be able to integrate new programs effectively with its existing programs. Any of such problems could have an adverse effect on SED’s business.

  • Dependence on Independent Shipping Companies — SED relies on arrangements with independent shipping companies, such as Federal Express and United Parcel Service, for the delivery of its products from vendors and to customers. The failure or inability of these shipping companies to deliver products, or the unavailability of their shipping services, even temporarily, could have a material adverse effect on SED’s business. SED may also be adversely affected by an increase in freight surcharges due to rising fuel costs and added security. There can be no assurance that SED will be able to pass along the full effect of an increase in these surcharges to its customers.

  • Foreign Currency Exchange Risks; Exposure to Foreign Markets — SED conducts business in countries outside of the United States, which exposes SED to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. SED may enter into short-term forward exchange or option contracts to hedge this risk; nevertheless, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could have an adverse effect on SED’s business. In particular, the value of SED’s equity investment in foreign countries may fluctuate based upon changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These fluctuations, which are recorded in a cumulative translation adjustment account, may result in losses in the event a foreign subsidiary is sold or closed at a time when the foreign currency is weaker than when SED initially invested in the country.

SED’s international operations are subject to other risks such as the imposition of governmental controls, export license requirements, restrictions on the export of certain technology, political instability, trade restrictions, tariff changes, difficulties in staffing and managing international operations, changes in the interpretation and enforcement of laws (in particular related to items such as duty and taxation), difficulties in collecting accounts receivable, longer collection periods and the impact of local economic conditions and practices. There can be no assurance that these and other factors will not have an adverse effect on SED’s business.

  • Changes in Income Tax and Other Regulatory Legislation — SED believes it operates in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. When new legislation is enacted with minimal advance notice, or when new interpretations or applications of existing laws are made, SED may need to implement changes in its policies or structure. SED makes plans for its structure and operations based upon existing laws and anticipated future changes in the law.

SED is susceptible to unanticipated changes in legislation, especially relating to income and other taxes, import/export laws, hazardous materials and electronic waste recovery legislation, and other laws related to trade, accounting, and business activities. Such changes in legislation, both domestic and international, may have a significant adverse effect on SED’s business.

  • Changes in Accounting Rules — SED prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These accounting principles are subject to interpretation by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and various other bodies formed to interpret and create appropriate accounting policies. A change in these policies or a new interpretation of an existing policy could have a significant effect on our reported results and may affect our reporting of transactions before a change is announced.

  • Exposure to Natural Disasters, War, and Terrorism — SED’s headquarters facilities and some of its logistics centers as well as certain vendors and customers are located in areas prone to natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, or earthquakes. In addition, demand for SED’s services is concentrated in major metropolitan areas. Adverse weather conditions, major electrical failures or other natural disasters in these major metropolitan areas may disrupt SED’s business should its ability to distribute products be impacted by such an event.

8


SED operates in multiple geographic markets, several of which may be susceptible to acts of war and terrorism. SED’s business could be adversely affected should its ability to distribute products be impacted by such events.

SED and many of its suppliers receive parts and products from Asia and operate in many parts of the world that may be susceptible to disease or epidemic that may disrupt SED’s ability to receive or deliver products or other disruptions in operations.
  • Volatility of Common Stock Price — Because of the foregoing factors, as well as other variables affecting SED’s operating results, past financial performance should not be considered a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods. In addition, SED’s participation in a highly dynamic industry often results in significant volatility of the common stock price. Some of the factors that may affect the market price of the common stock, in addition to those discussed above, are changes in investment recommendations by securities analysts, changes in market valuations of competitors and key vendors, and fluctuations in the overall stock market, but particularly in the technology sector.

  • Our Common Stock Has Been Thinly Traded, Liquidity Is Limited — Our common stock is now traded on the Pink OTC Markets Inc. over-the-counter market, which provides significantly less liquidity than a securities exchange (such as the American or New York Stock Exchange) or an automated quotation system (such as the Nasdaq National Market or Small Cap Market). Often there is a limited volume of trading in our common stock, and on many days there has been no trading activity at all. Purchasers of shares of our common stock may find it difficult to resell their shares at prices quoted in the market or at all.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

     On September 5, 2008, pursuant to a Settlement Agreement and General Release (the “Agreement”), SED settled the lawsuits brought by Mark Diamond against SED, its domestic subsidiaries and certain of its directors and entitled, “Mark Diamond v SED International Holdings, Inc, SED International, Inc and SED Magna (Miami), CA No. 2007CV131027, in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia; Mark Diamond v. SED International, Inc., Case No. 2006-SOX-00044, ARB No. 08-033, U.S. Department of Labor; and Mark Diamond v. Jean Diamond, Melvyn Cohen and Stewart Aaron, CA No. 2007CV144583, in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia.” The Agreement covers and fully resolves all claims that have been or could have been brought in the preceding litigations and also covers all appeals and proceedings related thereto.

     Under the Agreement, SED Holdings agreed to pay Mark Diamond the sum of $2.1 million, of which $325,000 will be covered by its insurance carriers, and to issue 200,000 shares of restricted common stock (valued at approximately $300,000) to an irrevocable trust for the benefit of the children of Mark Diamond. The issuance of these shares will be exempt from registration pursuant to Sections 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and the stock certificates representing these shares will be imprinted with a legend restricting transfer unless pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration under the Act. Mark Diamond is the son of Jean Diamond, the Chairman and CEO of SED Holdings. As part of the settlement, none of the parties to the Agreement acknowledged or denied any liability in the matters covered by settlement. The settlement was negotiated on behalf of SED Holdings by three independent directors who were not the subject of any of these litigations.

     On June 19, 2006 SED Holdings through its subsidiary, SED International, instituted an action in the Superior Court of Fulton County, State of Georgia captioned SED International, Inc. vs. Michael Levine, Civil Action file no. 2006-CV-118591. In the action, SED Holdings asserts that Mr. Levine breached the terms of the Termination Agreement with SED International and requests that the court grant such equitable relief and damages as provided by law. In response, Mr. Levine has denied SED Holdings’ assertions, filed a third party complaint against SED Holdings and asserted counterclaims against SED International, alleging breach and infliction of emotional distress. In connection with the third party complaint and the counterclaims, Mr. Levine has asked that the court award him costs, fees and punitive damages. In October 2006, SED Holdings filed an Answer to his third party complaint and discovery commenced. Since that time, Mr. Levine has dismissed, without prejudice, all counterclaims filed by him against SED International and discovery has essentially been completed. SED Holdings is vigorously prosecuting this action and has filed a motion for summary judgment to his third party complaint. Levine has filed a motion for summary judgment directed to the claims of SED International. A hearing was held on the summary judgment motions on September 9, 2008. The judge has denied the various summary judgment motions and the parties now anticipate going to trial before the end of the year.

     On March 18, 2008, Archbrook Laguna, LLC (“Archbrook”) filed a complaint in the United States District Court, District of New Jersey captioned Archbrook Laguna, LLC v. New Age Electronics, Inc., SED International, Inc., Adam Carroll, Charles Marsh, Marshall Mizell and Lee Perlman, Civil Action No. 08-1421. The complaint includes counts for Civil Conspiracy (Count I), Violation of the Robinson-Patman Act (Count II), Trade Libel (Count III), Commercial Disparagement (Count IV), Injurious Falsehood (Count V), Tortious Interference with Economic and Prospective Relations (Count VI), Violation of N.J. STAT. ANN. § 2C:41-2c and 2d (New Jersey RICO Statute – Counts VII and VIII), Misappropriation, Computer Misuse, Fraud and Abuse (Count IX), Breach of Contract / Tortious Interference (Count X against Defendant Mizell), Breach of Fiduciary Duty (Count XI against Defendant Marsh). Archbrook alleges that it is the victim of a concerted conspiracy by the Defendants to eliminate

10


Archbrook’s business relationship with Hewlett Packard Company and damage Archbrook’s business generally. The complaint alleges that Archbrook should be entitled to, among other things, compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorney fees and expenses. The complaint also seeks an injunction precluding Defendants from acting in concert to continue the alleged acts. SED has conducted an investigation into the allegations of the complaint and believes that the allegations against SED are without merit. On June 3, 2008, SED entered into a settlement agreement with Archbrook. As part of the agreement, Archbrook filed a motion to dismiss SED from the lawsuit. However, on August 20, 2008, Archbrook asked the Court to terminate said motion to dismiss, based on allegations that SED has intentionally destroyed information relevant to the case. The Court has treated this request as a withdrawal of Archbrook’s motion to dismiss. SED has investigated these allegati ons and concluded that they lack merit. Accordingly, SED has informed Archbrook that it intends to commence mandatory arbitration against Archbrook for breach of the settlement agreement in order to recover all costs and attorney’s fees and any other damages incurred as a result of Archbrook’s withdrawal of the motion to dismiss. SED also intends to vigorously defend the case, including adding additional defenses to recovery based upon the enforcement of the settlement agreement.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

No matters were submitted to a vote of SED’s shareholders during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.

PART II

Item 5. Market for the Company’s Common Stock, Related Shareholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

     As of September 9, 2008, the closing bid price per share for SED common stock, as reported on the Pink Sheets was $1.63 and SED had approximately 500 shareholders of record.

     SED has never declared or paid cash dividends on its common stock. SED currently intends to retain earnings to finance its ongoing operations and it does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Future policy with respect to payment of dividends on the common stock will be determined by the Board of Directors based upon conditions then existing, including SED’s earnings and financial condition, capital requirements and other relevant factors. SED International, the earnings of which would be the primary source of any dividend payments, and SED are parties to a revolving credit agreement which contains certain financial covenants that may impact SED’s ability to pay dividends in the event SED should change its policy and choose to issue dividends. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Item 6. Selected Financial Data Five Year Financial Summary

     As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), we are not required to provide the information required by this item.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of SED and the notes thereto included elsewhere herein. Historical operating results are not necessarily indicative of trends in operating results for any future period.

Overview

     During fiscal 2008, SED’s consolidated net sales increased approximately 17.2% when compared to fiscal 2007. This can be attributed to a 13.9% increase in domestic sales and by a 22.3% increase in Latin America and export sales. Sales in Latin America and export sales from the United States represented 41.2% of sales in fiscal 2008 compared to 39.5% in fiscal 2007.

     Unfavorable product mix changes resulted in a slight decrease in gross profit during fiscal 2008. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 5.3% in fiscal 2008, compared to 5.4% in fiscal 2007.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding litigation settlement expense and excluding depreciation and amortization expense, increased to $22.6 million or 4.7% of net sales in 2008 compared to $20.3 million or 5.0% in fiscal 2007.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses, including litigation settlement expense and excluding depreciation and amortization expense, increased to $24.6 million or 5.1% of net sales in 2008 compared to $20.3 million or 5.0% in fiscal 2007.

     SED had a net loss of $2.0 million in fiscal 2008, compared to a net loss of $.9 million in fiscal 2007. SED had no gain or loss from discontinued operations in fiscal 2008 and had a loss from discontinued operations of $70,000 in fiscal 2007. Included in this net loss is $2.1 million which was related to the Diamond litigations as described in legal proceedings. Operating income in Latin American subsidiaries was $1.5 million in fiscal 2008 and $3.2 million in fiscal 2007 while operating loss in the United States was $1.5 million in fiscal 2008 compared to a loss of $1.1 million in fiscal 2007.

     SED experienced an increase in net sales in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007. Company management is continuing to focus on increasing sales and profit margins and reducing administrative and overhead costs. There is no assurance SED will be successful in its efforts. Failure to improve margins and reduce overhead could adversely affect SED’s profitability and financial condition.

     Numerous factors and conditions impact SED’s ability to adequately achieve its profit goals, including, but not limited to, the following:

  • Continuation of distribution agreements — SED operates under formal but cancelable distribution agreements with certain of its suppliers. If these agreements were cancelled, SED would be forced to obtain its products through wholesalers. This would reduce SED’s profit margin on the affected products.

  • Availability of certain products — From time to time, due to production limitations or heavy demand, SED may only be able to purchase a limited amount of popular products from its suppliers.

  • Product margins — SED operates in a very competitive business environment. Accordingly, product margins are continually under pricing pressure. From time to time, SED receives price protection and other considerations from its vendors. While SED has no reason to believe such vendor consideration will not

12


continue, no assurance can be given that such price protection and other considerations will continue to be received in the future.

  • Vendor credit — SED significantly relies on its suppliers for trade credit. Changes by the suppliers in their credit terms could force SED to obtain less favorable financing for its purchases.

  • Product obsolescence — SED offers a broad line of products that are subject to fast technological obsolescence, which increases the risk of inventory markdown. Through its vendor agreements, SED has certain stock return privileges, which vary from supplier to supplier. SED believes stock return programs will continue in the future, but can give no assurance about whether these programs will continue.

  • Consumer Electronics – SED has entered into the distribution of consumer electronics in fiscal 2004, which is highly competitive. Some of SED’s competitors have substantially greater financial, marketing and distribution resources than SED and SED may be unable to successfully compete with these companies. Failure to successfully penetrate this market could have an adverse impact on SED’s cash flows, financial position and operating results.

  • Credit decisions and losses — SED maintains an experienced customer credit staff and relies on customer payment history and third party data to make customer credit decisions. Nevertheless, SED may experience customer credit losses in excess of its expectations. From time to time, depending on credit risk assessment and coverage costs, SED maintains credit insurance for customers located in the United States and maintains insurance in many Latin American countries (subject to certain terms and conditions). However, the terms of the credit insurance agreement require SED to maintain certain minimum standards and policies with respect to extending credit to customers. If SED does not adhere to such policies, the insurance companies may not pay claims submitted by SED.

  • Proportionate control of general and administrative costs — SED attempts to control its overhead costs to keep such costs in line with its sales volume. As sales volumes fluctuate, SED must continually monitor its overhead costs and make adjustments timely and appropriately.

  • Uncertain and possibly volatile economic and political environment in Latin America — The general economic and political environment in the countries in which SED operates in Latin America is uncertain and, at times, volatile. As a result of these conditions, SED could experience unexpected costs from its operations in these countries.

  • Availability of credit facilities — SED operates under a formal credit facility with a bank obtained in September 2005. The agreement was amended in March 2007 to extend the maturity to September 2011. This credit facility is subject to certain collateral limitations and certain covenants. SED from time to time has violated the financial covenants associated with previous credit agreements, but was successful in negotiating waivers of such violations. Under the current credit agreement SED only has its covenant tested if minimum availability, as defined in the Wachovia Agreement, reaches $3,500,000. No assurance can be given that SED will be able to maintain compliance with financial covenants, or obtain waivers in the event of non-compliance, in the future. Failure to maintain compliance with the financial covenants could adversely affect SED’s ability to obtain vendor credit and the overall business operations. The principal credit facility, which expires in September 2011, is further described in Note 4 to SED’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

  • Cash flows — While not presently anticipated, SED’s continued operation in Latin America may require additional capital infusion in the form of loans from the parent company or other debt borrowings by the subsidiary. The September 2005 credit facility places certain restrictions on the future funding of Latin American operations (see Note 4 to SED’s Consolidated Financial Statements).

     For SED’s domestic operations, all purchases and sales are denominated in United States dollars. For SED’s operations in Colombia and Argentina, in-country transactions are conducted in the respective local currencies of these two locations while import purchases are generally denominated in United States dollars.

(Loss) income before income taxes from continuing operations   (.33 )%   .14 %
Income tax expense   .08 %   .34 %
Loss from continuing operations   (.41 )%   (.20 )%

Fiscal 2008 Compared to Fiscal 2007

     Net sales from continuing operations increased 17.2%, or $70.3 million, to $478.7 million in fiscal 2008 compared to $408.4 million in fiscal 2007. Microcomputer product sales, excluding handling revenue, increased 24.7% to $440.9 million compared to $353.6 million in fiscal 2007 due to an increase in computer systems sales of approximately $22.6 million on a televised network and an increase in hard drives, consumables and printers. Consumer electronics sales in fiscal 2008 decreased 37.7% to $28.8 million compared to $46.2 million in fiscal 2007 due to a decline in sales of Westinghouse products on a televised network. Wireless revenues in fiscal 2008 increased 6.6% to $8.1 million compared to $7.6 million in fiscal 2007.

     Information concerning SED’s domestic and foreign sales is summarized below:

    Year Ended              
    June 30,     Change  
    2008     2007     Amount   Percent  
    (Amounts in Millions except percentage amounts)  
                             
United States:                            
   Domestic   $ 281.5     $ 247.1     $ 34.4   13.9 %
   Export     97.7       73.9       23.8   32.2 %
Latin America     103.5       90.0       13.5   15.0 %
Elimination     (4.0 )     (2.6 )     (1.4 ) 53.8 %
Consolidated   $ 478.7     $ 408.4     $ 70.3   17.2 %

     Domestic sales were $281.5 million and $247.1 million in fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007, respectively. The increase in domestic sales was due to an $87.3 million increase in microcomputer products and a $.5 million increase in cellular products offset by a $17.4 million decrease in consumer electronics products. Latin America and export sales were $197.2 million and $161.3 million in fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007, respectively. The increase in Latin America and export sales was due to an increase in sales of computer products, printers and consumable printer products.

     Sales of microcomputer products, including handling revenue, represented approximately 92.3% of SED’s net sales in fiscal 2008 compared to 86.8% for fiscal 2007. Sales of consumer electronics products accounted for approximately 6.0% of SED’s net sales in fiscal 2008 compared to 11.3% for fiscal 2007. Sales of wireless telephone products accounted for approximately 1.7% of SED’s net sales in fiscal 2008 compared to 1.9% for fiscal 2007. Sales of microcomputer products increased due to sales of $22.6 million of computer sales on televised

14


network airings and an increase in hard drives, consumables and printer sales. Sales of consumer electronics products declined due to a decline in sales of Westinghouse products which aired on a televised network.

     Gross profit increased $3.5 million to $25.4 million in fiscal 2008, compared to $21.9 million in fiscal 2007. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 5.3% from 5.4% for fiscal 2008 compared to 2007. The gross profit decrease resulted from the mix of products sold and pricing pressures. Overall, SED continues to experience pricing pressure in selling its products.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding litigation settlement expense and excluding depreciation and amortization expense, for fiscal 2008 increased 11.3% to $22.6 million, compared to $20.3 million in fiscal 2007. These expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 4.7% in 2008 compared to 5.0% in fiscal 2007. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding litigation settlement expense and excluding depreciation and amortization expense, was primarily due from factors which include: (i.) an increase of approximately $1.8 million in employee and contract expenses which were due to the wage and commissions from the higher year over year sales, the hiring of an dedicated sales force for consumer electronics and a $280,000 separation expense related to a departed executive of SED; (ii.) a decrease of approximately $200,000 in credit and collection expense due from a decline in bad debt write offs for the year; (iii.) an increase of approximately $250,000 in security and rent expenses and (iv.) a decrease of approximately $125,000 in insurance expenses related to policy renewal savings.

     Litigation settlement expense of $2.1 million for fiscal 2008 related to the Mark Diamond litigation as described in SED’s August 29, 2008 8-K filing and in Note 12 of SED’s consolidated financial statements.

     Depreciation and an amortization was $.5 million in fiscal 2008 and $.4 million fiscal 2007.

     SED has significant U.S. dollar denominated liabilities in Latin American subsidiaries. The revaluation resulted in foreign currency transaction losses totaling approximately $.3 million in fiscal 2008 as compared to a gain of approximately $.9 million in fiscal 2007.

     Interest expense was $1.6 million in fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007.

     Income tax expense was approximately $.4 million in fiscal 2008 compared to $1.4 million in fiscal 2007. This decline was due from an approximate decline of $1.7 million in taxable net income from the Latin subsidiaries. At June 30, 2008, SED has a gross net operating loss carried forward for U.S. federal tax purposes of approximately $60.8 million and state tax purposes of approximately $53.0 million; expiring at various dates through 2027. At June 30, 2008 and 2007, SED has recorded valuation allowances principally for all deferred tax assets, except for those relating to Intermaco S.R.L. (Argentina) and SED International de Colombia Ltda. (Colombia), as it is not considered more likely than not that these assets will be realized.

Discontinued Operations

     In February 2003, SED resolved to discontinue commercial operations of its Brazilian subsidiary, SED International do Brasil Distribuidora, Ltda. (the “Brazil Operation”). Accordingly, the operating results of SED International do Brasil Distribuidora, Ltda. have been classified as a discontinued operation for all periods presented in SED’s consolidated statements of operations. See Note 11 to SED’s consolidated financial statements.

     SED International do Brasil Distribuidora Ltda. has various litigations related to additional income taxes and social taxes allegedly due from the fiscal years 1998 through 2004. These legal claims were filed during the years 2002 and 2003. The legal claims range from $3,000 to $219,000 each or $522,000 in the aggregate. During fiscal 2007 SED incurred $70,000 in cost related to Brazil. After recording this cost, SED maintains an accrued liability of $270,000 at June 30, 2008 and 2007 to cover potential losses related to these claims.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

     An off-balance sheet arrangement is any contractual arrangement involving an unconsolidated entity under which a company has (a) made guarantees, (b) a retained or a contingent interest in transferred assets, (c) any obligation under certain derivative instruments or (d) any obligation under a material variable interest in an

15


unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk, or credit risk support to SED, or engages in leasing, hedging, or research and development services within SED.

     SED does not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or unconsolidated special purpose entities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     SED’s liquidity requirements arise primarily from the funding of working capital needs, including inventories and trade accounts receivable. As a percentage of total assets exclusive of other receivables, accounts receivable and inventories were approximately 87.2% and 89.9% in fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively. It has been SED’s experience that in periods of revenue growth, investments in trade accounts receivable and inventories grow, and SED’s need for financing will likely increase. In the periods in which revenue declines, investments in trade accounts receivable and inventories generally decrease and cash is generated. At June 30, 2008, trade accounts receivable and inventories, net of payables, decreased by $8.5 million, or 19.6%, compared with June 30, 2007.

     As disclosed under Item 3. “Legal Proceedings”, SED paid $1.8 Million, net of $.3 Million recovered from insurance, in August 2008 to settle the Diamond cases against SED. SED did not breach any loan covenants as a result of this settlement payment.

     Historically, SED has financed its liquidity needs largely through internally generated funds, borrowings under its credit agreement and vendor lines of credit. SED derives a substantial portion of its operating income and reported cash flows from its foreign subsidiaries and, due to certain bank and regulatory regulations, relies on such cash flows to satisfy its foreign obligations. While SED continues operations in Latin America, management believes that domestic banking agreements and international monetary restrictions may limit SED’s ability to transfer cash between its domestic and international subsidiaries.

     At June 30, 2008, SED had cash and cash equivalents of $4.1 million, of which $1.9 million is held in Latin American banks by SED’s subsidiaries in Argentina and Colombia. The funds held in Latin American banks are generally not available for use domestically without withholding taxes. At June 30, 2008, SED’s principal source of liquidity is its $4.1 million of cash, and its revolving credit facility. SED’s availability under the Wachovia Agreement was $17.7 million at June 30, 2008, net of $1.8 million in reserves for outstanding stand-by letters of credit.

     The net amount of cash provided by SED’s operating activities in fiscal 2008 was $6.7 million, principally as a result of changes in working capital requirements. The net amount of cash used in investing activities in fiscal 2008 was $.4 million. The net amount of cash used by financing activities in fiscal 2008 was $5.7 million, reflecting loan repayments under our credit facility.

     The net amount of cash used in SED’s operating activities in fiscal 2007 was $8.4 million, principally as a result of changes in working capital requirements. The net amount of cash used in investing activities in fiscal 2007 was $.5 million. The net amount of cash provided by financing activities in fiscal 2007 was $7.0 million reflecting additional borrowings under our credit facility.

SED’s cash flows in fiscal 2008 were positively affected by the favorable changes in exchange rates in the Latin American countries in which SED does business. The exchange rate changes had the effect of providing approximately $.2 million in cash for the year ended June 30, 2008 as compared to providing $.8 million in fiscal 2007.

     On March 1, 2007, SED signed a three-year extension on a credit facility with Wachovia Bank, National Association (the “Wachovia Agreement”) which extended the maturity to September 21, 2011. The Wachovia Agreement was originally entered into on September 21, 2005 with a term of three years. On July 17, 2007, SED elected to increase its line of credit to $40.0 million from $35.0 million as allowed under the Wachovia Agreement. On August 23, 2007, the Wachovia line of credit was increased temporarily for 60 days to $50.0 million to accommodate an approximately $9.0 million purchase from one vendor for a televised product offering by one of SED’s customers. On January 10, 2008, SED elected to permanently increase the Wachovia line of credit to $50.0 million. The Wachovia Agreement provides for revolving borrowings based on SED’s eligible accounts receivable and inventories as defined therein.

16


     Borrowings under the Wachovia Agreement accrue interest based upon a variety of interest rate options depending upon the computation of availability as defined therein. The interest rates range from LIBOR, plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.00%, to the prime rate. SED is also subject to a commitment fee of .25% on the unused portion of the facility. Interest is payable monthly. Borrowings under the Wachovia Agreement are collateralized by substantially all domestic assets of SED and 65% of each of SED’s shares in its foreign subsidiaries, respectively.

     The Wachovia Agreement contains certain covenants which, among other things, require that SED maintain availability of $5.0 million or more during the term of the agreement to make advances to SED’s Latin American subsidiaries. SED’s advances to its Latin American subsidiaries are restricted. The Wachovia Agreement also contains a covenant which requires that if SED’s availability is less than $3.5 million ($5.0 million prior to amendment) at any time during the term of the agreement, then maintenance of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio is required, as defined. The Wachovia Agreement also restricts SED’s ability to distribute dividends.

     Available borrowings under this agreement, based on collateral limitations at June 30, 2008 were $17.7 million. Average borrowings, maximum borrowings and weighted average interest rate for fiscal 2008 were $24.1 million, $34.7 million and 6.2%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under credit facilities was 5.8% at June 30, 2008. Average borrowings, maximum borrowings and weighted average interest rate for fiscal 2007 were $21.1 million, $26.6 million and 7.1%, respectively.

     The carrying value of all bank debt at June 30, 2008 approximates its fair value based on the variable market rates of interest on such bank debt. Outstanding Letters of Credit under the Wachovia Agreement totaled $1.8 million at June 30, 2008.

     On January 26, 2007, SED entered into a three-year interest rate swap contract to reduce the impact of the fluctuations in the interest rate on $5.0 million notional amount of the revolving credit facility. The contract effectively converted the variable rate to a fixed rate of 5.20% . On June 8, 2007, the three-year swap agreement was amended to a notional amount of $10.0 million with a fixed rate of 5.37% . On March 5, 2008, the three-year swap agreement was again amended to a nominal amount of $15.0 million with a fixed rate of 4.54% . The fixed rates cited above do not include Wachovia’s rate mark-up, currently 1.5% . SED utilizes derivative financial instruments to reduce interest rate risk. SED does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”), establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. As required by SFAS 133, SED recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measures those instruments at fair value. The accounting for gains and losses associated with changes in the fair value of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income as the hedge is highly effective and the effect on the financial statements will depend on its hedge designation and whether the hedge is highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in the fair value of cash flows of the asset or liability hedged. The fair value, not in SED’s favor, of the interest rate swap was $320,000 at June 30, 2008 and is included in accrued liabilities. The fair value of the interest rate swap was not material at June 30, 2007.

     There have been no material changes to obligations and/or commitments since year-end. Purchase orders or contracts for the purchase of inventory and other goods and services are not included in management’s estimates. Management is not able to determine the aggregate amount of such purchase orders that represent contractual obligations, as purchase orders may represent authorizations to purchase rather than binding agreements. SED’s purchase orders are based on its current distribution needs and are fulfilled by its vendors within short time horizons. SED does not have significant agreements for the purchase of inventory or other goods specifying minimum quantities or set prices that exceed our expected requirements for the year ended June 30, 2008.

     Management believes that SED’s credit agreements together with vendor lines of credit and internally generated funds will be sufficient to satisfy its working capital needs during fiscal 2009. However, no assurance can be given that SED will be able to remain in compliance with the financial covenants associated with the Wachovia Agreement, or that SED will be able to continue to obtain credit from its vendors in the future. Failure to maintain compliance under the Wachovia Agreement or obtain vendor lines of credit could significantly and adversely affect SED’s business operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts — Methodology

     An allowance for uncollectible accounts has been established based on collection experience and an assessment of the collectability of specific accounts. Management evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. Initially, management estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts as a percentage of accounts receivable based on historical collections experience. This initial estimate is periodically adjusted when management becomes aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations (e.g., bankruptcy filing) or as a result of changes in the overall aging of accounts receivable. The overall determination of the allowance also considers credit insurance coverage and deductibles, which SED has maintained from time to time. SED maintains credit insurance, which protects SED from credit losses exceeding certain deductibles for certain domestic sales and certain export shipments from the United States. SED maintains credit insurance in many Latin American countries (subject to certain terms and conditions).

Inventories — Slow Moving, Obsolescence, and Lower of Cost or Market

     Most of SED’s vendors allow for either return of goods within a specified period (usually 45-90 days) or for credits related to price protection. However, for other vendor relationships and inventories, SED is not protected by vendors from the risk of inventory loss. Therefore, in determining the net realizable value of inventories, management identifies slow moving or obsolete inventories that (1) are not protected by vendor agreements from risk of loss, and (2) are not eligible for return under various vendor return programs. Based upon these factors, management estimates the net realizable value of inventories and records any necessary adjustments as a charge to cost of sales. If inventory return privileges were discontinued in the future, or if vendors were unable to honor the provisions of certain contracts, which protect SED from inventory losses, including price protections, the risk of loss associated with obsolete, slow moving or impaired inventories would increase. SED’s reserve for obsolete and slow moving inventories was approximately $697,000 at June 30, 2008 or 1.9% of gross inventories.

Revenue Recognition

     Revenue is recognized once four criteria are met: (1) SED must have persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (2) delivery must occur, which generally happens at the point of shipment (this includes the transfer of both title and risk of loss, provided that no significant obligations remain); (3) the price must be fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability must be reasonably assured. Shipping revenue is included in net sales while the related costs, including shipping and handling costs, are included in the cost of products sold. SED allows its customers to return product for exchange or credit subject to certain limitations. A provision for such returns is recorded based upon historical experience.

Financial Instruments

      SED’s principal financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and revolving credit facilities. The carrying value of these financial instruments approximate fair value based upon the short-term nature of the instruments, and the variable rates on credit facilities.

     The functional currency for SED’s international subsidiaries is the local currency for the country in which the subsidiaries own their primary assets. The translation of the applicable currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using a weighted average exchange rate during the period. Any related translation adjustments are recorded directly to stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. It is SED’s policy not to enter into derivative contracts for speculative trading purposes.

     SED’s revolving credit facility is currently a variable rate facility. SED has entered into a three year interest rate swap contract to reduce the impact of the fluctuations in the interest rate on $15.0 million notional amount of the obligation under its revolving credit facility.

18


Inflation and Price Levels

     Inflation has not had a significant impact on SED’s overall business because of the typically decreasing costs of products sold by SED. SED also receives vendor price protection for a significant portion of its inventory. In the event a vendor or competitor reduces its prices for goods purchased by SED prior to SED’s sale of such goods, SED generally has been able either to receive a credit from the vendor for the price differential or to return the goods to the vendor for credit.

     The Latin American countries in which SED operates have experienced high rates of inflation and hyperinflation from time to time in the past. At this time, management estimates that inflation may have a material impact on SED’s Latin American business operations in the immediate future.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

     As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), we are not required to provide the information required by this item.

SED INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007

1. Description of Business

      SED International Holdings, Inc., the parent company incorporated in Georgia, and its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, SED International, Inc., a Georgia corporation, are engaged in the wholesale distribution of microcomputer products, including mass storage, imaging, display, consumer electronics and wireless products throughout the United States and Latin America. SED International Holdings, Inc. services Latin America through its wholly-owned subsidiaries SED International de Colombia Ltda. (“SED Colombia”) in Bogota, Colombia and Intermaco S.R.L. (“Intermaco”) in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

      On September 30, 2004, SED International Holdings, Inc. filed a Form 15 "Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration Under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Suspension of Duty to File Reports Under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934” with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

      On the first day of its 2007 fiscal year, the Company exceeded 299 holders of record. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, beginning with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, the Company began filing reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Principles of Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SED International Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SED International, Inc. (formerly Southern Electronics Distributors, Inc.), SED International do Brasil, Ltda. (formerly SED Magna Distribuidora Ltda.), SED Magna (Miami), Inc., SED Colombia and Intermaco, (collectively the “Company”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The operations of SED International do Brasil, Ltda. were discontinued during the third quarter of fiscal 2003. See Note 11.

     Revenue Recognition — Revenue is recognized once four criteria are met: (1) SED must have persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (2) delivery must occur, which generally happens at the point of shipment (this includes the transfer of both title and risk of loss, provided that no significant obligations remain); (3) the price must be fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability must be reasonably assured. Shipping revenue is included in net sales while the related costs, including shipping and handling costs, are included in the cost of products sold. SED allows its customers to return product for exchange or credit subject to certain limitations. A provision for such returns is recorded based upon historical experience.

     Concentrations of Credit Risk — Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, such amounts exceed the current insured amount under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation of $100,000. The funds held in Latin American banks, which represent 46.3% of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2008, are generally not available for use domestically without withholding taxes. The Company has no single customer that represents a significant portion of total net sales or accounts receivable and generally does not require collateral from its customers.

     Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during

25


the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those differences could be significant.

     Cash Equivalents — Cash equivalents are short-term investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less.

     Accounts Receivable — Accounts receivable are carried at the amount owed by customers less an allowance for doubtful accounts.

     Allowance for Doubtful Accounts — An allowance for uncollectible accounts has been established based on collection experience and an assessment of the collectability of specific accounts. The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. Initially, the Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts as a percentage of accounts receivable based on historical collections experience. This initial estimate is periodically adjusted when the Company becomes aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations (e.g., bankruptcy filing) or as a result of changes in the overall aging of accounts receivable.

     Inventories — Inventories consist of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market and include in-transit inventory of $4,626,000 at June 30, 2008 and $7,153,000 at June 30, 2007. Most of the Company’s vendors allow for either return of goods within a specified period (usually 45 - 90 days) or for credits related to price protection. However, for other vendor relationships and inventories, the Company is not protected from the risk of inventory loss. Therefore, in determining the net realizable value of inventories, the Company identifies slow moving or obsolete inventories that (1) are not protected by our vendor agreements from risk of loss, and (2) are not eligible for return under various vendor return programs. Based upon these factors, the Company estimates the net realizable value of inventories and records any necessary adjustments as a charge to cost of sales. If inventory return privileges or price protection programs were discontinued in the future, or if vendors were unable to honor the provisions of certain contracts which protect the Company from inventory losses, the risk of loss associated with obsolete, slow moving or impaired inventories would increase. The reserve for obsolete and slow moving inventories was approximately $697,000 at June 30, 2008 and $945,000 at June 30, 2007 or 1.9% and 2.2% of gross inventories, respectively.

     Property and Equipment — Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related asset, which generally range from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized ratably over the lesser of the useful lives of the improvements or the related lease terms.

     Foreign Currency Translation The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, with related translation gains or losses reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity, net of any deferred income taxes. As of June 30, 2008 and 2007, the amount of deferred income taxes recorded against cumulative translation losses is zero, because the related deferred tax asset has been offset in full by a valuation allowance. The results of foreign operations are translated at the average exchange rates for the year. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statement of operations.

     Income Taxes Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes. Deferred tax assets relate primarily to differences in the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of reserves, translation losses and depreciation of fixed assets, in addition to net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax liabilities relate to U.S. taxes on unremitted foreign earnings. As the likelihood of the full realization of the net operating losses, reserves and translation losses is uncertain, the Company has provided a valuation allowance for the future tax benefits that are not expected to be utilized. FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), which became effective on July 1, 2007, prescribed the minimum threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the consolidated financial statements and provided guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification,

26


interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, transition and disclosures. See Note 5, Income Taxes, for additional discussion.

     Loss Per Common Share (EPS) — Basic loss per common share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during that period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of common shares plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive common shares represent additional common shares assumed to be issued. For the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 options for approximately 504,000 and 506,000 common shares, respectively, were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation due to their anti-dilutive effect. Also excluded from the diluted EPS calculation for fiscal year June 30, 2008 were 705,000 shares of unvested restricted stock, due to their anti-dilutive effect.

     Share-Based Compensation — The Company accounts for share-based compensation under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), share-based compensation. The Company recognizes compensation on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

     Comprehensive (Loss) Income — Comprehensive (loss) income is defined as the change in equity (net assets) of a business enterprise during a period from transactions or other events and circumstances from non-owner sources, and is comprised of net (loss) income and other comprehensive (loss) income. SED’s other comprehensive (loss) income is comprised of changes in SED’s foreign currency translation adjustments and changes in fair value of an interest rate swap contract, including income taxes attributable to those changes. Accumulated other comprehensive loss included in shareholders’ equity totaled $2,942,000 at June 30, 2008 and consisted of $2,622,000 of net foreign currency translation adjustments and $320,000 of net changes in the fair value of an interest rate swap contract which was entered into during fiscal 2008.

     Recent Accounting Pronouncements — In September 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of FAS 157 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Based on the Company’s current use of fair value measurements, FAS 157 is not expected to have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position of the Company.

     In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and thereby seeks to improve the transparency of financial reporting. Under SFAS 161, entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009. Early application is encouraged. SFAS 161 also encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The adoption of SFAS 161 will not have a material impact on the disclosures in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

     In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“Statement No. 162”). Statement No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (the GAAP hierarchy). Statement No. 162 will become effective sixty days following the Securities and Exchange Commission’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of

27


Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The adoption of the provisions of Statement No. 162 is not anticipated to materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

3. Property and Equipment

                   Property and equipment are comprised of the following:

        June 30,  
        2008  
 
2007  
 
  Furniture and equipment   $ 9,513,000  
$
10,896,000  
  Leasehold improvements     2,359,000  
2,253,000  
  Other     196,000  
 
215,000  
        12,068,000  
13,364,000  
  Less accumulated depreciation and amortization     (11,024,000)  
 
(12,260,000 )
      $ 1,044,000  
$
1,104,000  

     Depreciation and amortization expense for property and equipment totaled $473,000 and $413,000 for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

4. Credit Facilities

     On March 1, 2007, SED signed a three-year extension of a credit facility with Wachovia Bank, National Association (the “Wachovia Agreement”) which extended the maturity to September 21, 2011. The Wachovia Agreement was originally entered into on September 21, 2005 with a term of three years. On January 10, 2008, SED elected to increase the Wachovia line of credit to $50.0 million. The Wachovia Agreement provides for revolving borrowings based on SED’s eligible accounts receivable and inventories as defined therein.

     Borrowings under the Wachovia Agreement accrue interest based upon a variety of interest rate options depending upon the computation of availability as defined therein. The interest rates range from LIBOR, plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.00%, to the prime rate. SED is also subject to a commitment fee of .25% on the unused portion of the facility. Interest is payable monthly. Borrowings under the Wachovia Agreement are collateralized by substantially all domestic assets of SED and 65% of each of SED’s shares in its foreign subsidiaries, respectively.

     The Wachovia Agreement contains certain covenants which, among other things, require that SED maintain availability of $5.0 million or more during the term of the agreement to make advances to SED’s Latin American subsidiaries. SED’s advances to its Latin American subsidiaries are restricted. The Wachovia Agreement also contains a covenant which requires that if SED’s availability is less than $3.5 million ($5.0 million prior to amendment) at any time during the term of the agreement, then maintenance of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio is required, as defined. The Wachovia Agreement also restricts SED’s ability to distribute dividends.

     Available borrowings under this agreement, based on collateral limitations at June 30, 2008 were $17.7 million. Average borrowings, maximum borrowings and weighted average interest rate for fiscal 2008 were $24.1 million, $34.7 million and 6.2%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under credit facilities was 5.8% at June 30, 2008. Average borrowings, maximum borrowings and weighted average interest rate for fiscal 2007 were $21.1 million, $26.6 million and 7.1%, respectively.

     The carrying value of all bank debt at June 30, 2008 approximates its fair value based on the variable market rates of interest on such bank debt. Outstanding Letters of Credit under the Wachovia Agreement totaled $1.8 million at June 30, 2008.

28


     On January 26, 2007, the Company entered into a three-year interest rate swap contract to reduce the impact of the fluctuations in the interest rates on $5.0 million notional amount of the revolving credit facility. The contract effectively converted the variable rate to a fixed rate of 5.20% . On June 8, 2007, the three-year swap agreement was amended to a notional amount of $10.0 million with a fixed rate of 5.37% . On March 5, 2008, the three-year swap agreement was again amended to a nominal amount of $15.0 million with a fixed rate of 4.54% . The fixed rates cited above do not include Wachovia's rate mark-up, currently 1.5% . The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to reduce interest rate risk. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”), establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. As required by SFAS 133, the Company recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measures those instruments at fair value. The accounting for gains and losses associated with changes in the fair value of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income as the hedge is highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in the fair value of cash flows of the asset or liability hedged. The fair value, not in the Company’s favor, of the interest rate swap was $320,000 at June 30, 2008 and is included in accrued expenses.

5. Income Taxes

     Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The tax effects of significant items comprising the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows:

    June 30,  
    2008        2007  
 
Deferred tax assets:              
   U.S. federal and state operating loss carry-forwards $ 22,801,000     $ 23,545,000  
   Translation Gain/Loss on unremitted foreign earnings   996,000       1,087,000  
   Depreciation and amortization   169,000       186,000  
   Allowance for accounts receivable   223,000       106,000  
   Inventories   373,000       470,000  
   Allowance for sales returns   13,000       19,000  
   Employee benefits and compensation   16,000       16,000  
   Reserves and accruals   1,191,000       218,000  
   Sales tax   185,000       1,000  
   Share-based compensation   110,000       51,000  
   Available tax credits   328,000       328,000  
   Interest rate swap   121,000                  -       
   Other   11,000       6,000  
Net deferred tax assets   26,537,000       26,033,000  
   Valuation allowance   (23,181,000 )     (22,958,000 )
    3,356,000       3,075,000  
 
Deferred tax liabilities:              
Unremitted foreign earnings   (3,096,000 )     (3,052,000 )
Deferred tax assets, net $ 260,000     $ 23,000  

     The net deferred tax assets at June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 all are related to Intermaco and Colombia and were classified as current assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. At June 30, 2008, the Company has gross net operating loss carry-forwards for federal and state income tax purposes in the United States of approximately $60.8 million and $53.0 million, respectively, expiring at various dates through 2027. In addition, as of June 30, 2008 the Company has alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of approximately $328,000, which carry over until they are used. At June 30, 2008 and

29


2007, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for principally all deferred tax assets, except for those relating to Intermaco and Colombia, as there is no assurance that these assets will be realized.

     The components of income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes consist of the following:

      Year Ended June 30,  
      2008     2007  
United States   $ (3,113,000 ) $ (2,676,000 )
Foreign     1,546,000     3,231,000  
Total  
$
(1,567,000 ) $ 555,000  
 
     Components of income tax expense (benefit) are as follows:              
 
      Year Ended June 30,  
      2008     2007  
Current:              
   State   $ 22,000   $ 9,000  
   Foreign     612,000     1,324,000  
      634,000     1,333,000  
Deferred:              
   Foreign     (237,000 )   35,000  
    $ 397,000   $ 1,368,000  

     The Company’s income taxes payable at June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $339,000 and $861,000, respectively, and are included in Accrued and other current liabilities on the balance sheets. Prepaid income taxes of $494,000 were included in other current assets on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2008.

     The Company’s effective tax rates for (loss) income from continuing operations differ from statutory rates as follows:

    Year Ended June 30,
    2008   2007
 
Statutory federal (benefit) rates   (34.0 )%   34.0 %
State income taxes net of federal income tax benefit   (3.6 )   (0.3 )
Non-deductible items   0.8     2.9  
US tax on foreign earnings    25.4     114.6  
Valuation allowance    12.3     48.3  
Adjustment to unused net operating losses    34.9      
Foreign taxes (less than) in excess of federal statutory rate    (9.6 )   46.9  
Other   (0.8 )   0.1  
Total   25.4 %   246.5 %

     The valuation allowance increased during fiscal 2008 by $223,000 and decreased during fiscal 2007 by $321,000.

     Effective July 1, 2007, the beginning of fiscal year 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition requirements.

30


     The adoption of FIN 48 resulted in no change to the Company’s consolidated beginning accumulated deficit. As of the adoption date and as of June 30, 2008, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. There have been no changes in unrecognized tax benefits since July 1, 2007 nor are there any tax positions where it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease in the next twelve months from June 30, 2008.

     The Company recognizes penalties and interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. There have been no income tax related penalties or interest assessed or recorded.

     The Company conducts business principally in North and South America, as a result, one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal, various state, local and foreign tax jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities, including such major jurisdictions as the United States, Argentina and Colombia. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations for tax years before June 30, 2005 in the U.S., and for tax years before December 31, 2006 in Colombia, but remains subject to examination in Argentina for tax years ending June 30, 2003 and later.

6. Lease Obligations

     SED International, Inc. leases its main office facility under an operating lease expiring in September 2009 with an affiliated entity (see Item 13). Rent expense for this facility for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $321,000 and $309,000, respectively. This lease provides for annual increases of 3% through September 2009. The Company leases additional distribution center and sales office space and office equipment under other operating leases expiring through April 2012. Rent expense under all operating leases for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $1,165,000 and $1,089,000, respectively.

     As of June 30, 2008, future minimum rental commitments under non-cancelable operating leases are:

Year Ending June 30,      
2009   $ 1,161,000
2010     764,000
2011     545,000
2012     409,000
2013     165,000
    $ 3,044,000
 
7. Shareholders’ Equity      

     Stock Option Plans — The Company maintains four stock option plans, one which is currently active and under which 793,591 shares of common stock have been reserved at June 30, 2008 for future incentive and nonqualified stock option grants as well as stock awards to directors, officers and key employees. Incentive stock options must be granted at not less than the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant and expire 10 years from the date of grant. Nonqualified stock options may be granted at a price of not less than 85% of the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant and expire 20 years from the date of grant. Options granted under the plans are exercisable in installments ranging from 20% to 50% per year. Upon the occurrence of a “change of control” (as defined in the Company’s stock option plans), all outstanding options become immediately exercisable. The compensation cost that has been charged against income for these stock option plans was $5,000 for fiscal 2007. No income tax benefit was recognized in the income statement for stock-based compensation arrangements as we have large net operating loss carry forwards with full valuation allowances. None of the expense related to stock-based compensation arrangements for stock option plans was capitalized during fiscal 2008 and 2007. There is no unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options at June 30, 2008.

31


     Stock option activity, including options issued to non-employee directors, and related information under these plans is as follows:

              Weighted    
          Weighted   Average    
          Average   Remaining   Aggregate
          Exercise   Contractual   Intrinsic
    Shares   Price   Term   Value
 
Outstanding at June 30, 2007   506,159     $ 2.52        
Forfeited or expired   (2,250 )   $ 5.58        
Outstanding at June 30, 2008   503,909     $ 2.50   3.4   $ 103,000
 
Vested and expected to vest at June 30, 2008   503,909     $ 2.50   3.4   $ 103,000
Exercisable at June 30, 2008   502,759     $ 2.49   3.4   $ 103,000
Available for grant at June 30, 2008   801,591              

     There were no options exercised during fiscals 2008 and 2007.

     Restricted Stock — The Company’s stock option plan established in 1999 also permits the grant of restricted stock awards. SED also established the 2007 Restrictive Stock Plan during fiscal 2008. A total of 750,000 shares of the Company’s authorized and unissued shares of common stock were reserved for grants under the Plan. Generally, the awards are subject to forfeiture prior to vesting and begin vesting in equal amounts on the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date; provided, however, that at the time of vesting the holder is an employee of the Company. Restricted stock activity is as follows:

    Year Ended June 30,
    2008   2007
 
Shares of restricted stock-beginning of year  
-      
    12,750  
Issued   762,500    
-      
 
Vested  
-      
    (5,250 )
Forfeited   (57,500 )   (7,500 )
Shares of restricted stock-end of year   705,000    
-      
 

     Share-based compensation expense recognized during fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 totaled approximately $157,000 and $5,000, respectively. At June 30, 2008, there was $783,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock awards compensation arrangements which SED expects to be recognized ratably over the next forty months.

     The value of restricted stock awards is determined using the market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date and is amortized over a vesting period of four years. The weighted average grant-date fair value of shares issued and canceled during fiscal 2008 and outstanding at the end of fiscal 2008 was $1.42.

8. Employee Benefit Plan

     SED International, Inc. maintains the SED International, Inc. 401(k) Plan, a voluntary retirement benefit program. All employees of SED International, Inc. who have attained the age of 21 are eligible to participate after completing one year of service. Employees are immediately vested in their own contributions. SED International may provide matching contributions for its employees at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Vesting in matching contributions, if any, is ratable over 7 years based on years of continuous service. There were no matching contributions for fiscal years 2008 and 2007.

32

International do Brasil Distribuidora, Ltda. (the “Brazil Operation”) have been classified as a discontinued operation for all periods presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, the Company has reported all of SED International do Brasil Distribuidora, Ltda. assets at their estimated net realizable values in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2008 and 2007. As of June 30, 2008 and 2007, the assets of SED International do Brasil Distribuidora, Ltda. had no net realizable value.

     SED International do Brasil Distribuidora Ltda. has various litigations related to additional income taxes and social taxes allegedly due from the fiscal years 1998 through 2004. These legal claims were filed during the years 2002 and 2003. The legal claims range from $3,000 to $219,000 each or $522,000 in the aggregate. During fiscal 2007 SED incurred $70,000 in cost related to Brazil. After recording this cost, SED maintains an accrued liability of $270,000 at June 30, 2008 and 2007 to cover potential losses related to these claims.

12. Legal Proceedings

     On September 5, 2008, pursuant to a Settlement Agreement and General Release (the Agreement”) the Company settled the lawsuits brought by Mark Diamond against the Company, its domestic subsidiaries and certain of its directors and entitled, “Mark Diamond v SED International Holdings, Inc, SED International, Inc and SED Magna (Miami), CA No. 2007CV131027, in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia; Mark Diamond v. SED International, Inc., Case No. 2006-SOX-00044, ARB No. 08-033, U.S. Department of Labor; and Mark Diamond v. Jean Diamond, Melvyn Cohen and Stewart Aaron, CA No. 2007CV144583, in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia.” The Agreement covers and fully resolves all claims that have been or could have been brought in the preceding litigations and also covers all appeals and proceedings related thereto.

     Under the Agreement, SED Holdings agreed to pay Mark Diamond the sum of $2.1 million, of which $325,000 will be covered by its insurance carriers, and to issue 200,000 shares of restricted common stock (valued at approximately $300,000) to an irrevocable trust for the benefit of the children of Mark Diamond. The issuance of these shares will be exempt from registration pursuant to Sections 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and the stock certificates representing these shares will be imprinted with a legend restricting transfer unless pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration under the Act. Mark Diamond is the son of Jean Diamond, the Chairman and CEO of the Company. As part of the settlement, none of the parties to the Agreement acknowledged or denied any liability in the matters covered by settlement. The settlement was negotiated on behalf of SED Holdings by three independent directors who were not the subject of any of these litigations.

     On June 19, 2006 SED Holdings through its subsidiary, SED International, instituted an action in the Superior Court of Fulton County, State of Georgia captioned SED International, Inc. vs. Michael Levine, Civil Action file no. 2006-CV-118591. In the action, SED Holdings asserts that Mr. Levine breached the terms of the Termination Agreement with SED International and requests that the court grant such equitable relief and damages as provided by law. In response, Mr. Levine has denied SED Holdings’ assertions, filed a third party complaint against SED Holdings and asserted counterclaims against SED International, alleging breach and infliction of emotional distress. In connection with the third party complaint and the counterclaims, Mr. Levine has asked that the court award him costs, fees and punitive damages. In October 2006, SED Holdings filed an Answer to his third party complaint and discovery commenced. Since that time, Mr. Levine has dismissed, without prejudice, all counterclaims filed by him against SED International and discovery has essentially been completed. SED Holdings is vigorously prosecuting this action and has filed a motion for summary judgment to his third party complaint. Levine has filed a motion for summary judgment directed to the claims of SED International. A hearing was held on the summary judgment motions on September 9, 2008. The judge has denied the various summary judgment motions and the parties now anticipate going to trial before the end of the year.

     On March 18, 2008, Archbrook Laguna, LLC (“Archbrook”) filed a complaint in the United States District Court, District of New Jersey captioned Archbrook Laguna, LLC v. New Age Electronics, Inc., SED

34


International, Inc., Adam Carroll, Charles Marsh, Marshall Mizell and Lee Perlman, Civil Action No. 08-1421 (the “New Jersey Suit”). The complaint in the New Jersey Suit includes counts for Civil Conspiracy (Count I), Violation of the Robinson-Patman Act (Count II), Trade Libel (Count III), Commercial Disparagement (Count IV), Injurious Falsehood (Count V), Tortious Interference with Economic and Prospective Relations (Count VI), Violation of N.J. STAT. ANN. § 2C:41-2c and 2d (New Jersey RICO Statute – Counts VII and VIII), Misappropriation, Computer Misuse, Fraud and Abuse (Count IX), Breach of Contract / Tortious Interference (Count X against Defendant Mizell), Breach of Fiduciary Duty (Count XI against Defendant Marsh). Archbrook alleges that it is the victim of a concerted conspiracy by the Defendants to eliminate Archbrook’s business relationship with Hewlett Packard Company and damage Archbrook’s business generally. The complaint in the New Jersey Suit alleges that Archbrook should be entitled to, among other things, compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorney fees and expenses. The complaint also seeks an injunction precluding Defendants from acting in concert to continue the alleged acts. SED has conducted an investigation into the allegations of the complaint and believes that the allegations against SED are without merit. On June 3, 2008, SED entered into a settlement agreement with Archbrook. As part of the agreement, Archbrook filed a motion to dismiss SED from the lawsuit. However, on August 20, 2008, Archbrook asked the Court to terminate said motion to dismiss, based on allegations that SED has intentionally destroyed information relevant to the case. The Court has treated this request as a withdrawal of Archbrook’s motion to dismiss. SED has investigated these allegations and concluded that they lack merit. Accordingly, SED has commenced binding arbitration against Archbrook for breach of the settlement agreement in order to recover all costs and attorney’s fees and any other damages incurred as a result of Archbrook’s withdrawal of the motion to dismiss. In response, Archbrook has also accused SED of breaching the settlement agreement, an allegation which SED denies and expects to vigorously defend against. At the same time, SED is now vigorously defending its interests in the New Jersey Suit, and now has additional defenses to recovery based upon the existence of the settlement agreement.

13. Subsequent Event

     On July 1, 2008 the Company issued 125,000 shares of restricted common stock to a vendor, an accredited investor, for services. The Company also issued 22,857 shares of restricted common stock to each of its five non-employee directors in accordance with the Company’s board compensation plan. Each of the non-employee directors entered into a restricted stock agreement with respect to his respective shares of restricted common stock.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
              None.

Item 9A (T). Controls and Procedures.

     (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

     Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15-d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.

35


Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

     (b) Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

     Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Our management has concluded that, as of June 30, 2008, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on these criteria. This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management's report in this annua l report.

     (c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

     There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information

Reflects the value of the restricted stock that was charged to income in the reported period as reported on the Company’s financial statements. For a description of the assumptions made in the valuation, see the Share-Based Compensation section under Note 2, and the Restricted Stock section under Note 7, to the Company’s Financial Statements included with this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

The primary objective of the Company’s executive compensation program is to attract and retain qualified, energetic managers who are enthusiastic about the Company’s mission and culture. A further objective of the compensation program is to provide incentives and reward each manager for their contribution. In addition, the Company strives to promote an ownership mentality among key leadership and the Board of Directors.

It is the Company’s intention to set total executive cash compensation sufficiently high to attract and retain a strong motivated leadership team, but not so high that it creates a negative perception with the Company’s shareholders. Each executive’s current and prior compensation is considered in setting future compensation. In addition, the Company reviews the compensation practices of other companies. To some extent, the Company’s compensation plan is based on the market and the companies we compete against for executive management. The elements of the Company’s plan (e.g., base salary, bonus and stock options) are similar to the elements used by many companies. The exact base pay, stock option grant, and bonus amounts are chosen in an attempt to balance the Company’s competing objectives of fairness to all stakeholders and attracting/retaining executive managers.

Agreements with Certain Executive Officers

     The Company has employment agreements with Jean Diamond and Jonathan Elster.

     The employment agreement with Jean Diamond has a five-year term currently expiring on November 7, 2012 and automatically renews annually until it is terminated by the Company or Ms.

40


Diamond pursuant to the terms thereof. Her agreement, as amended to date, (i) provides for an annual base salary of $316,000 (as of July 1, 2008), increases annually in an amount equal to the greater of five percent of her then current salary or the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index for the month of June relative to the same prior year period, (ii) provides for an automobile allowance, and (iii) does not provide for an annual bonus. The agreement also provides that if a Change of Control (as hereinafter defined) occurs during her employment term and her employment is terminated (i) by the Company, or by her upon the occurrence of certain events, or (b) by her in her sole discretion concurrently with, or within 30 days of, the date of the occurrence of the Change of Control, she will be entitled to a cash payment in an amount equal to all annual salary and other benefits owing to her for the period from the date of termination through the remainder of the term of her employment under the agreement. However, in no event shall the amount of any such cash payment be less than the aggregate of her then annual salary plus the value of all other benefits payable to her on an annualized basis under her employment agreement, as amended. A Change of Control is deemed to have occurred when, during the term of Ms. Diamond’s employment pursuant to her employment agreement, (i) any individual, entity, group or association becomes the beneficial owner of securities of the Company representing 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s or SED International’s then-outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; (ii) a change in a majority of directors of the Board and such new directors were not appointed, approved or nominated by the Board; (iii) all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or SED International are sold, conveyed, transferred or otherwise disposed of, in one or more transactions, without the approval of the Board or the board of directors of SED International, as the case may be.

He is also entitled to participate in all of the Company’s employee benefit programs available to management executives, including health and long-term disability insurance. The Company may terminate Mr. Elster’s employment for “good cause,” as defined in his employment agreement. In addition, upon termination of his employment, Mr. Elster has agreed not to solicit customers of the Company for a period of a one (1) year from the date of termination.

Transactions with Related Parties

Lease of Headquarters

     On April 1, 1999 the Company signed a seven-year lease with one three-year renewal option with the Diamond Chip Group LLC, successor owner of the premises used by the Company for its headquarters. The Company exercised the renewal option on March 20, 2006. The members of the Diamond Chip Group LLC are the Marital Trust for the Benefit of Jean A. Diamond, Jean A. Diamond and JAD 2003 Trust, who own respectively 37.5%, 37.5%, and 25.0% of the outstanding interests in this entity. The beneficiaries of the JAD 2003 Trust are all the descendents of Gerald and Jean Diamond. The predecessor owner of the premises was Royal Park Company, a Georgia general partnership whose partners were Gerald and Jean Diamond. Melvyn Cohen is a trustee on the JAD 2003 Trust. Jean Diamond is Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

     Rental payments for headquarter premises for fiscal 2008 were $321,000. Rent escalates each October at a rate of 3% per year. In addition to rental payments, the Company pays all operating costs associated with the lease of its headquarters. The lease expires on September 30, 2009.

     The lease also provides the Company with a right of first refusal to purchase the premises in the event Diamond Chip Group LLC proposes to sell the facility during the lease term.

Director Independence

     The Board has determined that Messrs. Aaron, Cohen, Segal, Goldberg and Greenspan are independent as that term is defined in the listing standards of the NASDAQ. Messrs. Aaron, Cohen and Segal are the sole members of the Company’s audit committee, and Messrs. Aaron and Cohen are the sole members of the Company’s compensation committee and are independent for such purposes.

Recitals:

       Borrowers, Agent and Lenders are parties to that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated September 21, 2005, as amended by that certain letter amendment dated January 24, 2006, that certain Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated May 17, 2006, that certain letter amendment dated May 17, 2006, that certain letter amendment dated December 21, 2006, that certain letter amendment dated February 1, 2007, that certain Third Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated March 1, 2007, that certain letter amendment dated April 25, 2007, that certain letter amendment dated May 18, 2007, that certain Fourth Amendment dated August 23, 2007 and that certain letter amendment dated October 15, 2007 (as so amended, and as at any other time amended, restated, modified or supplemented, the “Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which Lenders have made certain revolving credit loans and other financial accommodations to Borrowers.

       The parties desire to amend the Loan Agreement as hereinafter set forth.

       NOW, THEREFORE, for TEN DOLLARS ($10.00) in hand paid and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby severally acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

       1.       Definitions. All capitalized terms used in this Amendment, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

       2.       Amendments to Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

       (a)      By deleting the definition of “Borrowing Base” contained in Section 1.19 of the Loan Agreement and by substituting the following in lieu thereof:

       1.19       “Borrowing Base” shall mean, at any time, the amount equal to the sum of:

(1) (a) eighty-five percent (85%) of the Eligible Accounts, plus (b) the lesser of (i) the Foreign Accounts Loan Limit or (ii) eighty-five percent (85%) of the Eligible Foreign Accounts, plus (2) the lesser of (a) the Inventory Loan Limit or (b) the sum of: (i) the lesser of (A) sixty percent (60%) multiplied by the Value of the Eligible Inventory on hand 90 days or less or (B) eighty-five percent (85%) of the Net Recovery Percentage of such Eligible Inventory, plus (ii) the lesser of (A) twenty-five percent (25%) multiplied by the Value of the Eligible Inventory on hand more than 90 days but not more than 180 days or (B) eighty-



five percent (85%) of the Net Recovery Percentage of such Eligible Inventory, plus (iii) the lesser of (A) the Westinghouse Inventory Loan Limit, (B) 70% of the Value of Eligible Westinghouse Inventory, or (C) 115% of the Net Recovery Percentage of such Eligible Westinghouse Inventory (using the general television category on the Agent’s appraisal to determine the applicable Net Recovery Percentage fraction), plus (iv) the Acer/QVC Inventory Formula Amount, minus (3) Reserves.

       For purposes only of applying the Inventory Loan Limit, Agent may treat the then undrawn amounts of outstanding Letters of Credit for the purpose of purchasing Eligible Inventory as Revolving Loans to the extent Agent is in effect basing the issuance of the Letter of Credit on the Value of the Eligible Inventory being purchased with such Letter of Credit. In determining the actual amounts of such Letter of Credit to be so treated for purposes of the sublimit, the outstanding Revolving Loans and Reserves shall be attributed first to any components of the lending formulas set forth above that are not subject to such sublimit, before being attributed to the components of the lending formulas subject to such sublimit. The amounts of Eligible Inventory of any Borrower shall, at Agent’s option, be determined based on the lesser of the amount of Inventory set forth in the general ledger of such Borrower or the perpetual inventory record maintained by such Borrower.

       (n)      the aggregate amount of such Accounts owing by QVC Inc. do not constitute more than thirty-six percent (36%) of the aggregate amount of all otherwise Eligible Accounts (so long as Accounts owing by QVC Inc. are subject to credit insurance payable to Agent issued by an insurer and on terms and in an amount acceptable to Agent), and the aggregate amount of such Accounts owing by any single account debtor other than QVC Inc. do not constitute more than fifteen percent (15%) of the aggregate amount of all otherwise Eligible Accounts (but the portion of the Accounts not in excess of the applicable percentages may be deemed Eligible Accounts);

       (c)      By deleting the last sentence in the definition of “Eligible Inventory” contained in Section 1.40 of the Loan Agreement and by substituting in lieu thereof the following:

Any amount which is included as “Eligible Westinghouse Inventory” or “Eligible Acer/QVC Inventory” on any Borrowing Base certificate shall not also be included as Eligible Inventory on the same Borrowing Base certificate, any amount which is included as “Eligible Acer/QVC Inventory” on any Borrowing Base certificate shall not also be included as Eligible Acer/QVC In-Transit Inventory on the same Borrowing Base certificate, and any amount which is included as “Eligible Acer/QVC In-Transit Inventory” on any Borrowing Base certificate shall not also be included as Eligible Acer/QVC Inventory or Eligible Inventory on the same Borrowing Base certificate.

       “Eligible Acer/QVC Inventory” means Inventory which satisfies all of the criteria for “Eligible Inventory” set forth in the definition thereof and which (i) consists of Acer branded notebook or desktop personal computers aged less than 45 days, (ii) is subject to a purchase order that has been delivered to Borrower by QVC Inc. and with respect to which an “air date” has been set by the QVC Inc. (and Borrower has delivered to Agent such documentation thereof as Agent may request), and (iii) is in the possession of and under the control of Borrower at a facility owned, leased or controlled by Borrower.

       “Eligible Acer/QVC In-Transit Inventory” means Inventory which satisfies all of the criteria for “Eligible Acer/QVC Inventory” set forth in the definition thereof except for subclause (iii) thereof, but only if (i) such Inventory is located in the United States, is in transit from the vendor to QVC Inc. and was shipped not more than 15 days prior to any date of determination; (ii) under the terms of sale, title and risk of loss with respect to such Inventory have passed from the vendor to Borrower; (iii) such Inventory is fully insured, in such amounts, with such insurance companies and subject to such deductibles as are reasonably satisfactory to Agent and in respect of which Agent has been named as sole loss payee pursuant to a loss payee endorsement acceptable to Agent; (iv) Borrower has delivered to Agent such documentation relating to the shipment of such Inventory as Agent may request; and (v) Agent has established, in accordance with this Agreement, such Reserves with respect to such Inventory and the shipment thereof as Agent deems necessary or appropriate.
