Revenue Recognition

We sell products we source from vendors to our customers through either a “buy/sell” transaction or an agency relationship with our vendors. In a “buy/sell” transaction, we purchase or take inventory of products from the vendor. When a customer places an order with us, we pick, pack, ship and invoice the customer for the order. We recognize revenue from “buy/sell” transactions as product sales when the product is delivered to the customer. We accept product returns from our customers. We estimate returns based on historical experience and recognize these estimated returns as a reduction of product sales. Product returns have historically not been significant to our financial statements. We record revenues net of sales tax. In an agency relationship, we generally do not purchase and take inventory of products from vendors. We receive an order from a customer, then transmit the order to the vendor, who picks, packs and ships the order to the customer. In some cases, the vendor invoices and collects payment from the customer, while in other cases we invoice and collect payment from the customer on behalf of the vendor. We receive a commission payment for soliciting the order from the customer and for providing other customer service activities. Commissions are recognized when the services upon which the commissions are based are complete. Gross billings from agency contracts were $93,649 and $87,962 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and generated commission revenue of $5,110 and $4,398, respectively. Gross billings from agency contracts were $161,311 and $155,993 for the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and generated commission revenue of $9,465 and $8,144, respectively.

Customer incentives are accrued based on the terms of the contracts with each customer. These incentive programs provide that the customer receive an incentive based on their product purchases or attainment of performance goals. Incentives are estimated based on the specific terms in each agreement, historical experience and product growth rates. Incentives are recognized as a reduction to product sales.

Cost of Product Sales and Vendor Rebates

Cost of product sales consist of our inventory product cost, including shipping and delivery costs to and from our distribution centers. Vendor rebates are recorded based on the terms of the contracts or programs with each vendor. Many of our vendors' rebate programs are based on a calendar year. We may receive quarterly, semi-annual or annual performance-based rebates from third-party vendors based upon attainment of certain sales and/or purchase goals. Sales rebates are classified in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income as a reduction to cost of product sales at the time the sales performance measures are achieved. Purchase rebates are measured against inventory purchases from the vendors and are classified as a reduction of inventory until the product is sold. When the inventory is sold and purchase measures are achieved, purchase rebates are recognized as a reduction to cost of product sales.

Historically, actual results have not significantly deviated from those determined using the estimates described above. We expect that our estimates in the future will continue to be reasonable as our rebates are based on specific vendor program goals and are principally recorded upon achievement of sales or purchase performance measures. Vendors may change or eliminate rebate programs from year to year.

Recent And New Accounting Pronouncements [Policy Text Block]

In January 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which includes bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending arrangements that are either offset on the balance sheet or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. This guidance is effective for our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2013. We do not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which provides additional disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of AOCI. This guidance is effective for our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2013. We do not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment Upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets Within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity, which requires the entity to release the cumulative translation adjustment related to a foreign investment when the sale or transfer of the investment represents the substantially complete liquidation of the investment, upon loss of control in the investment, or upon a step up acquisition in the investment. This guidance is effective for our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2014. We do not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
