Item 1 Business
General
PART I
Wayside Technology Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company,” “us,” “we,” or “our”) is an information technology
(“IT”) channel company. We distribute software developed by others through resellers indirectly to customers worldwide. We also
resell computer software and hardware developed by others and provide technical services directly to customers in the United States
of America (“USA”) and Canada. We offer an extensive line of products from leading publishers of software and tools for
virtualization/cloud computing, security, networking, storage & infrastructure management, application lifecycle management and
other technically sophisticated domains as well as computer hardware.
Wayside Technology Group, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in 1982. Our Common Stock is listed on The NASDAQ
Global Market under the symbol “WSTG”. Our main web site address is www.waysidetechnology.com, and the other web sites
maintained by our business include www.lifeboatdistribution.com, and www.techxtend.com. Reference to these “uniform resource
locators” or “URLs” is made as an inactive textual reference for informational purposes only. Information on our web sites should not
be considered filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is not, and should not be deemed to be, a part of this report.
The Company operates through two reportable operating segments. The “Lifeboat Distribution” segment distributes
technical software to corporate resellers, value added resellers (VARs), consultants and systems integrators worldwide. The
“TechXtend” segment is a value-added reseller of software, hardware and services for corporations, government organizations and
academic institutions in the USA and Canada. For each of our segments, sales from unaffiliated customers, income and total assets,
among other financial information, is presented in Note 11 in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Competition
The software market is highly competitive. Pricing is very aggressive in both software distribution and reselling. The
Company expects pricing pressure to continue. The Company faces competition from a wide variety of sources. In the Lifeboat
Distribution segment, we compete against much larger broad-line distributors, as well as specialty distributors and, in some cases, the
direct sales teams of the vendors we represent also sell directly to the end-customers. In the TechXtend segment, we also compete
against vendors who sell directly to customers, as well as software resellers, superstores, e-commerce vendors, and other direct
marketers of software and hardware products. In both segments, some of our competitors are significantly larger and have
substantially greater resources than the Company. Many of our competitors compete principally on the basis of price, product
availability, customer service and technical support.
There can be no assurance that the Company can compete effectively against existing competitors or new competitors that
may enter the market or that it can generate profit margins which represent a fair return to the Company. In addition, price is an
important competitive factor in the personal computer software market and there can be no assurance that the Company will not be
subject to increased price competition. An increase in the amount of competition faced by the Company, or its failure to compete
effectively against its competitors, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of
operations.
The Company competes to attract prospective buyers and in sourcing new products from software developers and publishers,
as well as in marketing its current product line to its customers. The Company believes that its ability to offer software developers and
IT professionals easy access to a wide selection of the right IT products at reasonable prices with prompt delivery and high customer
service levels, along with its good relationships with vendors and suppliers, allows it to compete effectively in acquiring prospective
buyers and marketing its current product line to its customers. The Company competes to gain distribution rights for new products
primarily on the basis of its reputation and its relationships with software publishers.
Page 2
The market for the software products we sell is characterized by rapid changes in technology, user requirements, and customer
specifications. The manner in which software products are distributed and sold is changing, and new methods of distribution and sale
may emerge or expand. Software developers and publishers have sold, and may intensify their efforts to sell, their products directly to
end-users. The continuing evolution of the Internet as a platform in which to conduct e-commerce business transactions has both
lowered the barriers for competition and broadened customer access to products and information, increasing competition and reducing
prices. From time to time, certain software developers and publishers have instituted programs for the direct sale of large order
quantities of software to certain major corporate accounts. These types of programs may continue to be developed and used by various
developers and publishers. While software developers and publishers currently sell new releases or upgrades directly to end users, they
have not, however, attempted to completely bypass the distribution and reseller channels. There can be no assurances, that software
developers and publishers will continue using distributors and resellers to the same extent they currently do. Future efforts by software
developers and publishers to bypass third- party sales channels could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business
operations and financial conditions.
In addition, resellers and publishers may attempt to increase the volume of software products distributed electronically
through ESD (Electronic Software Distribution) technology, through subscription services, and through on-line shopping services.
Any of these competitive programs, if successful, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of
operations and financial condition. For a description of additional risks relating to competition in our industry, please refer to “Item
1.A. Risk Factors”: “We rely on our suppliers for product availability, marketing funds, purchasing incentives and competitive
products to sell”, and “The IT products and services industry is intensely competitive and actions of competitors, including
manufacturers of products we sell, can negatively affect our business”.
Products
An essential part of our ongoing operations and growth plans is the continued recruitment of software publishers for which
we can sell their products. The Company offers a wide variety of technology products from a broad range of publishers and
manufacturers, such as Acronis, Bluebeam Software, CA Technologies, DataCore, Datawatch, Dell/Dell Software, Flexera Software,
Hewlett Packard, Infragistics, Intel Software, Lenovo, Microsoft, Mindjet, Samsung, SAP/Sybase, SmartBear, SolarWinds, Sophos,
StorageCraft Technology, TechSmith, Telerik, Unitrends, Veeam Software and VMware. On a continuous basis, we screen new
products for inclusion in our direct sales portfolio, catalogs and web sites based on their features, quality, price, profit margins and
warranties, as well as on current sales trends. Since the Company predominantly sells software, sales of hardware and peripherals
represented only 6% of our overall net sales in 2013 and 4% of net sales in 2012 and 2011.
Marketing and Distribution
We market products through creative marketing communications, including our web sites, local and on-line seminars, print
and electronic catalogs. We also use direct e-mail and printed material to introduce new products and upgrades, to cross-sell products
to current customers, and to educate and inform existing and potential customers. We believe that our blend of electronic and
traditional marketing and selling programs are important marketing vehicles for software publishers and manufacturers. These
programs provide a cost-effective and service-oriented means to market and sell and fulfill software products and meet the needs of
users.

The Company had three customers that accounted for more than 10% of total sales for 2013. For the year ended
December 31, 2013, Software House International Corporation (“SHI”), CDW Corporation (“CDW”) and Insight Enterprises, Inc.
(“Insight”) accounted for 14.9%, 13.8% and 12.2%, respectively, of consolidated net sales and, as of December 31, 2013, 12.7%,
12.3%, and 9.5%, respectively, of total net accounts receivable. For the year ended December 31, 2012, SHI, CDW, and
Insight accounted for 13.4%, 12.4% and 11.1%, respectively, of consolidated net sales. For the year ended December 31, 2011,
CDW, Insight and SHI accounted for 14.0%, 11.0% and 10.5%, respectively, of consolidated net sales. Our top five customers
accounted for 48%, 44%, and 42% of consolidated net sales in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company generally ships
products within 48 hours of confirming a customer’s order. This allows for minimum backlog in the business.
Sales to customers in Canada represented 7% of our consolidated revenues in each of 2013, 2012 and 2011. For geographic
financial information, please refer to Note 11 in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Customer Support
We believe that providing a high level of customer service is necessary to compete effectively and is essential to continued
sales and revenue growth. Our account representatives assist our customers with all aspects of purchasing decisions, process products
ordered and respond to customer inquiries on order status, product pricing and availability. The account representatives are trained to
answer all basic questions about the features and functionality of products. To deal with technical issues, we maintain an in-house
technical support staff.
Purchasing and Fulfillment
The Company’s success is dependent, in part, upon the ability of its suppliers to develop and market products that meet the
changing requirements of the marketplace. The Company believes it enjoys good relationships with its vendors. The Company and its
principal vendors have cooperated frequently in product introductions and in other marketing programs. As is customary in the
industry, the Company has no long-term supply contracts with any of its suppliers. Substantially all of the Company’s contracts with
its vendors are terminable upon 30 days’ notice or less. Moreover, the manner in which software products are distributed and sold is
changing, and new methods of distribution and sale may emerge or expand. Software publishers have sold, and may intensify their
efforts to sell, their products directly to end-users. The Company’s business and results of operations may be adversely affected if the
terms and conditions of the Company’s authorizations with its vendors were to be significantly modified or if certain products become
unavailable to the Company.
We believe that effective purchasing from a diverse vendor base is a key element of our business strategy. For the year ended
December 31, 2013 Dell/Quest Software was the only individual vendor from whom our purchases exceeded 10% of our total
purchases and accounted for 10.2% of our total purchases. For the year ended December 31, 2012 Dell/Quest Software was the only
individual vendor from whom our purchases exceeded 10% of our total purchases and accounted for 13.4% of our total purchases.
For the year ended December 31, 2011, Veeam and Quest accounted for 12.6% and 11.2%, respectively, of our total purchases. The
loss of a key vendor or group of vendors could disrupt our product availability and otherwise have an adverse effect on the Company.
In 2013, the Company purchased approximately 93% of its products directly from manufacturers and publishers and the
balance from multiple distributors, as compared to 91% and 90% in 2012 and 2011, respectively. Most suppliers or distributors will
“drop ship” products directly to the customers, which reduces physical handling by the Company. Inventory management techniques,
such as “drop shipping” allow the Company to offer a greater range of products without increased inventory requirements or
associated risk.
Inventory levels may vary from period to period, due in part to increases or decreases in sales levels, the Company’s practice
of making large-volume purchases when it deems the terms of such purchases to be attractive, and the addition of new suppliers and
products. Moreover, the Company’s order fulfillment and inventory control systems allow the Company to order certain products just
in time for next day shipping.
Page 4
The Company promotes the use of electronic data interchange (“EDI”) with its suppliers, which helps reduce overhead and the use of
paper in the ordering process. Although brand names and individual products are important to our business, we believe that
competitive sources of supply are available for substantially all of the product categories we carry.
The Company operates distribution facilities in Shrewsbury, New Jersey and Mississauga, Canada.
Management Information Systems
The Company operates management information systems on Windows 2003 and Windows 2008 platforms that allow for
centralized management of key functions, including inventory, accounts receivable, purchasing, sales and distribution. We are
dependent on the accuracy and proper utilization of our information technology systems, including our telephone, web sites, e-mail
and fax systems.
The management information systems allow the Company to monitor sales trends, provide real-time product availability and
order status information, track direct marketing campaign performance and to make marketing event driven purchasing decisions. In
addition to the main system, the Company has systems of networked personal computers, as well as microcomputer-based desktop
publishing systems, which facilitate data sharing and provide an automated office environment.
The Company recognizes the need to continually upgrade its management information systems to most effectively manage its
operations and customer database. In that regard, the Company anticipates that it will, from time to time, require software and
hardware upgrades for its present management information systems.
Trademarks
The Company conducts its business under the various trademarks and service marks including Lifeboat Distribution and
TechXtend. The Company protects these trademarks and service marks and believes that they have significant value to us and are
important factors in our marketing programs.
Employees
As of December 31, 2013, Wayside Technology Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries had 121 full-time employees and 2 part-time
employees. The Company is not a party to any collective bargaining agreements with its employees, has experienced no work
stoppages and considers its relationships with its employees to be satisfactory.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Investors should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below as well as the other information contained in this report. Any of the
following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Additional risks and
uncertainties not currently known to us or those currently viewed by us to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our
business, financial condition or results of operations.
Changes in the information technology industry and/or economic environment may reduce demand for the products and
services we sell. Our results of operations are influenced by a variety of factors, including the condition of the IT industry, general
economic conditions, shifts in demand for, or availability of, computer products and software and IT services and industry
introductions of new products, upgrades or methods of distribution. The information technology products industry is characterized by
abrupt changes in technology, rapid changes in customer preferences, short product life cycles and evolving industry standards. Net
sales can be dependent on demand for specific product categories, and any change in demand for or supply of such products could
have a material adverse effect on our net sales, and/or cause us to record write-downs of obsolete inventory, if we fail to react in a
timely manner to such changes.
We rely on our suppliers for product availability, marketing funds, purchasing incentives and competitive products to sell.
We acquire products for resale both directly from manufacturers and indirectly from distributors. The loss of a supplier could cause a
disruption in the availability of products. Additionally, there is no assurance that as manufacturers continue to or increasingly sell
directly to end users and through the distribution channel, that they will not limit or curtail the availability of their products to
distributors/resellers like us. For example, resellers and publishers may attempt to increase the volume of software products distributed
electronically through ESD (Electronic Software Distribution) technology, through subscription services, and through on-line
shopping services, and correspondingly, decrease the volume of products sold through us. Our inability to obtain a sufficient quantity
of products, or an allocation of products from a manufacturer in a way that favors one of our competitors, or competing distribution
channels, relative to us, could cause us to be unable to fill clients’ orders in a timely manner, or at all, which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We also rely on our suppliers to provide funds for us to
market their products, including through our catalogs and on-line marketing efforts, and to provide purchasing incentives to us. If any
of the suppliers that have historically provided these benefits to us decides to reduce such benefits, our expenses would increase,
adversely affecting our results of operations.
Page 7
General economic weakness may reduce our revenues and profits. The ongoing effects of the general economic downturn,
especially outside of the USA, continues to cause some of our current and potential customers to delay or reduce technology
purchases, resulting in longer sales cycles, slower adoption of new technologies and increased price competition. We may, therefore,
experience a greater decline in demand for the products we sell, resulting in increased competition and pressure to reduce the cost of
operations. Any benefits from cost reductions may take longer to realize and may not fully mitigate the impact of the reduced demand.
In addition, weak financial and credit markets heighten the risk of customer bankruptcies and create a corresponding delay in
collecting receivables from those customers and may also affect our vendors’ ability to supply products, which could disrupt our
operations. The realization of any or all of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
We Depend on Having Creditworthy Customers to Avoid an Adverse Impact to Our Operating Results and Financial
Condition. We require sufficient amounts of debt and equity capital to fund our transactions as we provide larger extended payment
terms to certain of our customers. If the credit quality of our customer base materially decreases, or if we experience a material
increase in our credit losses, we may find it difficult to continue to obtain the required capital for our business, and our operating
results and financial condition may be harmed. In addition to the impact on our ability to attract capital, a material increase in our
delinquency and default experience would itself have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial
condition. Furthermore, if any of our customers to whom we provide larger extended payment terms go elsewhere for financing, such
loss of financing revenue could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
The IT products and services industry is intensely competitive and actions of competitors, including manufacturers of
products we sell, can negatively affect our business. Competition has been based primarily on price, product availability, speed of
delivery, credit availability and quality and breadth of product lines and, increasingly, also is based on the ability to tailor specific
solutions to client needs. We compete with manufacturers, including manufacturers of products we sell, as well as a large number and
wide variety of marketers and resellers of IT products and services. In addition, manufacturers are increasing the volume of software
products they distribute electronically directly to end-users and in the future will likely pay lower referral fees for sales of certain
software licensing agreements sold by us. Generally, pricing is very aggressive in the industry, and we expect pricing pressures to
continue. There can be no assurance that we will be able to negotiate prices as favorable as those negotiated by our competitors or that
we will be able to offset the effects of price reductions with an increase in the number of clients, higher net sales, cost reductions, or
greater sales of services, which service sales typically at higher gross margins, or otherwise. Price reductions by our competitors that
we either cannot or choose not to match could result in an erosion of our market share and/or reduced sales or, to the extent we match
such reductions, could result in reduced operating margins, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results
of operations and financial condition.
Disruptions in our information technology and voice and data networks could affect our ability to service our clients and
cause us to incur additional expenses. We believe that our success to date has been, and future results of operations likely will be,
dependent in large part upon our ability to provide prompt and efficient service to clients. Our ability to provide such services is
dependent largely on the accuracy, quality and utilization of the information generated by our IT systems, which affect our ability to
manage our sales, client service, distribution, inventories and accounting systems and the reliability of our voice and data networks.
Failure to adequately maintain the security of our electronic and other confidential information could materially
adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. We are dependent upon automated information technology
processes. Privacy, security, and compliance concerns have continued to increase as technology has evolved to facilitate commerce
and as cross-border commerce increases. As part of our normal business activities, we collect and store certain confidential
information, including personal information of employees and information about partners and clients which may be entitled to
protection under a number of regulatory regimes. In the course of normal and customary business practice, we may share some of this
information with vendors who assist us with certain aspects of our business.
Page 8
Moreover, the success of our operations depends upon the secure transmission of confidential and personal data over public networks,
including the use of cashless payments. Any failure on the part of us or our vendors to maintain the security of data we are required to
protect, including via the penetration of our network security and the misappropriation of confidential and personal information, could
result in business disruption, damage to our reputation, financial obligations to third parties, fines, penalties, regulatory proceedings
and private litigation with potentially large costs, and also result in deterioration in our employees’, partners’ and clients’ confidence
in us and other competitive disadvantages, and thus could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and
results of operations. During 2013 and 2012 we did not have any cybersecurity breaches.
We depend on certain key personnel. Our future success will be largely dependent on the efforts of key management
personnel for strategic and operational guidance as well as relationships with our key vendors and customers. We also believe that our
future success will be largely dependent on our continued ability to attract and retain highly qualified management, sales, service,
finance and technical personnel. We cannot assure you that we will be able to attract and retain such personnel. Further, we make a
significant investment in the training of our sales account executives. Our inability to retain such personnel or to train them either
rapidly enough to meet our expanding needs or in an effective manner for quickly changing market conditions could cause a decrease
in the overall quality and efficiency of our sales staff, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations
and financial condition.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock. The exercise of outstanding options or any other issuance of shares by us may dilute
your ownership of our Common Stock. Our Common Stock is thinly traded, which may be exacerbated by our repurchases of our
Common Stock. As a result of the thin trading market for our stock, its market price may fluctuate significantly more than the stock
market as a whole or of the stock prices of similar companies. Without a larger float, our common stock will be less liquid than the
stock of companies with broader public ownership, and, as a result, the trading prices for our Common Stock may be more volatile.
Among other things, trading of a relatively small volume of our Common Stock may have a greater impact on the trading price of our
stock than would be the case if our public float were larger.
Our common stock is listed on The NASDAQ Global Market, and we therefore are subject to continued listing requirements,
including requirements with respect to the market value and number of publicly-held shares, number of stockholders, minimum bid
price, number of market makers and either (i) stockholders’ equity or (ii) total market value of stock, total assets and total revenues. If
we fail to satisfy one or more of the requirements, we may be delisted from The NASDAQ Global Market. If we do not qualify for
listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market, and if we are not able to list our common stock on another exchange, our common stock
could be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or on the “pink sheets”. As a result, we could face significant adverse consequences
including, among others, a limited availability of market quotations for our securities and a decreased ability to issue additional
securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

In each of 2013 and 2012, we declared quarterly dividends totaling $0.65 and $0.64 per share, respectively, on our Common

second and third quarter of 2013) to $0.17 per share. There can be no assurance that we will continue to pay comparable cash
dividends in the future.
During 2013, the Company granted a total of 56,500 shares of Restricted Stock to officers and employees. Included in these

of employees terminating employment with the Company.
During 2012, the Company granted a total of 92,000 shares of Restricted Stock to officers, directors and employees. These
shares of Restricted Stock vest over 20 equal quarterly installments. A total of 3,525 shares of Restricted Stock were forfeited as a

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be
read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto. This discussion and analysis
contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may
differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain risks and uncertainties, including
those set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report.
Overview
The Company is organized into two reportable operating segments. The “Lifeboat Distribution” segment distributes technical
software to corporate resellers, value added resellers (VARs), consultants and systems integrators worldwide. The “TechXtend”
segment is a value-added reseller of software, hardware and services for corporations, government organizations and academic
institutions in the USA and Canada.
We offer an extensive line of products from leading publishers of software and tools for virtualization/cloud computing,
security, networking, storage & infrastructure management, application lifecycle management and other technically sophisticated
domains as well as computer hardware. We market these products through direct sales, the Internet, our catalogs, direct mail programs,
advertisements in trade magazines and e-mail promotions.
Forward-looking Statements
This report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Statements in this
report regarding future events or conditions, including but not limited to statements regarding industry prospects and the Company’s
expected financial position, business and financing plans, are forward-looking statements.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give
no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. We strongly urge current and prospective investors to carefully
consider the cautionary statements and risks contained in this report, particularly the risks described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors”
above. Such risks include, but are not limited to, the continued acceptance of the Company’s distribution channel by vendors and
customers, the timely availability and acceptance of new products, contribution of key vendor relationships and support programs, as
well as factors that affect the software industry generally.
The Company operates in a rapidly changing business, and new risk factors emerge from time to time. Management cannot
predict every risk factor, nor can it assess the impact, if any, of all such risk factors on the Company’s business or the extent to which
any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking
statements.
Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a prediction of actual results and readers are cautioned
not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their dates. The Company undertakes no
obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise.
The statements concerning future sales, future gross profit margin and future selling and administrative expenses are forward
looking statements involving certain risks and uncertainties such as availability of products, product mix, pricing pressures, market
conditions and other factors, which could result in a fluctuation of sales below recent experience.

Stock Volatility. The technology sector of the United States stock markets has experienced substantial volatility in recent
periods. Numerous conditions which impact the technology sector or the stock market in general or the Company in particular, whether
or not such events relate to or reflect upon the Company’s operating performance, could adversely affect the market price of the
Company’s Common Stock. Furthermore, fluctuations in the Company’s operating results, announcements regarding litigation, the loss
of a significant vendor or customer, increased competition, reduced vendor incentives and trade credit, higher postage and operating
expenses, and other developments, could have a significant impact on the market price of the Company’s Common Stock.
Financial Overview
Net sales totaled $300.4 million in 2013 as compared to $297.1 million in 2012, representing a 1% increase. Gross profit
increased by $0.5 million or 2% in 2013 as compared to 2012. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by
$0.1 million in 2013 as compared to 2012. Income from operations amounted to $8.9 million in 2013 as compared to $8.5 million in
2012, representing an increase of $0.4 million or 4% as compared to 2012. This increase resulted from the increase in total sales and
total gross margin (Lifeboat Distribution segment increased offset by a decrease in TechXtend segment) offset by a slight increase in
SG&A expenses. Our income before provision for income taxes increased by $0.3 million to $9.4 million in 2013 compared to $9.1
million in 2012. We reported a net income of $6.4 million for 2013 compared to $5.5 million in 2012.
The Company’s sales, gross profit and results of operations have fluctuated and are expected to continue to fluctuate on a
quarterly basis as a result of a number of factors, including but not limited to: the condition of the software industry in general, shifts in
demand for software products, pricing, level of extended payment terms sales transactions, industry shipments of new software
products or upgrades, the timing of new merchandise and catalog offerings, fluctuations in response rates, fluctuations in merchandise
returns, adverse weather conditions that affect response, distribution or shipping, shifts in the timing of holidays and changes in the
Company’s product offerings. The Company’s operating expenditures are based on sales forecasts. If sales do not meet expectations in
any given quarter, operating results may be materially adversely affected.

Net Sales
Net sales for 2013 increased 1%, or $3.3 million to $300.4 million in 2013 compared to $297.1 million in 2012. Total sales for
our Lifeboat Distribution segment in 2013 were $237.7 million compared to $217.3 million in 2012, representing a 9% increase. Total
sales for the TechXtend segment in 2013 amounted to $62.8 million, compared to $79.7 million in 2012, representing a 21% decrease.
The increase in net sales for our Lifeboat Distribution segment was mainly a result of the strengthening of our account
penetration, our continued focus on the expanding virtual infrastructure-centric business and the addition of several key product lines;
primarily on sales generated out of the USA sales office. The 21% decrease in sales in the TechXtend segment was primarily due to a
decrease in large single sales transactions and a decrease in extended payment terms sales transactions in the first three quarters of 2013
as compared to exceptionally strong levels of large single sales transactions and extended payment terms sales transactions in 2012.
Gross Profit
Gross Profit for 2013 was $24.4 million compared to $23.9 million in 2012, a 2% increase. Total gross profit for our Lifeboat
Distribution segment in 2013 was $17.4 million compared to $15.8 million in 2012, representing a 10% increase. The increase in gross
profit for the Lifeboat Distribution segment was due to increased sales volume as gross profit margin remained relatively stable. Total
gross profit for our TechXtend segment in 2013 was $6.9 million compared to $8.1 million in 2012, representing a 14% decrease. The
decrease in gross profit for the TechXtend segment was the result primarily of decreased software sales volume, including a decrease in
large single sale transactions and extended payment terms sales transactions, offset in part by a higher gross margin in 2013 as
compared to 2012 primarily on software sales. Vendor rebates and discounts for 2013 improved and amounted to $1.7 million
compared to $1.5 million for 2012, representing a 13% increase. The increase in vendor rebates and discounts as a percentage of net
sales was experienced mainly at the TechXtend segment.
Gross profit margin (gross profit as a percentage of net sales) for 2013 was 8.1% compared to 8.0% in 2012. Gross profit
margin for our Lifeboat Distribution segment was consistent at 7.3% in 2013 and 2012. Gross profit margin for our TechXtend segment
in 2013 was 11.0% compared to 10.1% in 2012. This increase is due to increased pricing and vendor rebates in 2013 as compared to
2012.
The increase in gross profit dollars and the increase in gross profit margins were primarily caused by the sales growth within
our Lifeboat Distribution segment and increase in pricing and an increase in rebates earned at our TechXtend segment.
The Company monitors gross profits and gross profit margins carefully. Price competition in our market persisted in 2013.
Although our total gross profit margins improved slightly in 2013, we anticipate that margins, as well as discounts and rebates, will
continue to be under pressure in the near future.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Total selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for 2013 were $15.5 million compared to $15.4 million in 2012,
representing an increase of $0.1 million or 0.8%. This increase is primarily the result of an increase in sales commissions and bonus for
our Lifeboat segment due to our growth in this segment, increase in operations bonus, the addition of employees in TechXtend
government sales, finance and operations to support business growth offset by a decrease in TechXtend sales commissions and bonus
due to decrease in this segment and a decrease in legal and consulting fees. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales were 5.2% in
each of 2013 and 2012.
Page 16
Direct selling costs (a component of SG&A) for 2013 were $8.0 million compared to $8.1 million in 2012. Total direct selling
costs for our Lifeboat Distribution segment for 2013 were $4.7 million compared to $4.5 million in 2012, mainly due to increased
commission and bonus expense compared to the prior year on higher segment gross profit and income. Total direct selling costs for our
TechXtend segment for 2013 were $3.3 million compared to $3.6 million in 2012. The decrease in the TechXtend segment was due to
lower commission and bonus expense resulting from lower segment gross profit and segment income which are the bases for
calculating commission and bonus expense offset by an increase in government sales salaries.
The Company expects that its SG&A expenses, as a percentage of net sales, may vary depending on changes in sales volume,
as well as the levels of continuing investments in key growth initiatives. We plan to continue to expand our investment in information
technology and marketing, while monitoring our sales and general and administrative expenses closely.
Income Taxes
For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $3.0 million which consists of
a provision of $2.9 million for U.S. federal income taxes, as well as a $0.1 million provision for foreign taxes, and a deferred tax
expense of $0.1 million.
The current year effective tax rate was 32.1% compared to 39.6% in 2012. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily
the result of a change in the state of New Jersey’s apportionment rules which lowered our state rate compared with the prior year.
As of December 31, 2013, the Company had a U.S. deferred tax asset of approximately $0.4 million.
For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $3.6 million which consists of
a provision of $2.8 million for U.S. federal income taxes, as well as a $0.5 million provision for state and local taxes, a $0.2 million
provision for foreign taxes, and a deferred tax expense of $0.1 million.
As of December 31, 2012, the Company had a U.S. deferred tax asset of approximately $0.5 million.
Year Ended December 31, 2012 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2011
Net Sales
Net sales for 2012 increased 19%, or $46.9 million to $297.1 million in 2012 compared to $250.2 million in 2011. Total sales
for our Lifeboat Distribution segment in 2012 were $217.3 million compared to $192.7 million in 2011, representing a 13% increase.
Total sales for the TechXtend segment in 2012 amounted to $79.7 million, compared to $57.4 million in 2011, representing a 39%
increase.
The increase in net sales for our Lifeboat Distribution segment was mainly a result of the strengthening of our account
penetration, our continued focus on the expanding virtual infrastructure-centric business and the addition of several key product lines.
The 39% increase in sales in the TechXtend segment was primarily due to an increase in larger extended payment term transactions,
solution focus selling and higher average order sizes in 2012.
Gross Profit
Gross Profit for 2012 was $23.9 million compared to $23.2 million in 2011, a 3% increase. Total gross profit for our Lifeboat
Distribution segment was $15.8 million compared to $16.8 million in 2011, representing a 6% decrease. The decrease in gross profit
for the Lifeboat Distribution segment was due to lower vendor rebate attainment and competitive pricing pressure within this segment.
Total gross profit for our TechXtend segment was $8.1 million compared to $6.4 million in 2011, representing a 25% increase.
Page 17
The increase in gross profit for the TechXtend segment was the result of increased sales volume offset in part by a lower gross margin
in 2012 as compared to 2011 and lower vendor rebates. Vendor rebates and discounts for 2012 amounted to $1.8 million compared to
$2.9 million for 2011. Vendor rebates are dependent on reaching certain targets set by our vendors. Vendors have been periodically
substantially increasing their target revenues for rebate eligibility. Therefore, despite our increasing revenue, vendor rebates have
declined.
Gross profit margin (gross profit as a percentage of net sales) for 2012 was 8.0% compared to 9.3% in 2011. Gross profit
margin for our Lifeboat Distribution segment in 2012 was 7.3% compared to 8.7% in 2011. Gross profit margin for our TechXtend
segment in 2012 was 10.1% compared to 11.2% in 2011.
The increase in gross profit dollars and the decrease in gross profit margins were primarily caused by the sales growth within
our Lifeboat Distribution and TechXtend segments, offset in part, by continued pressure on discounts and rebates earned and
competitive pricing pressure in both segments, and, in part, by our having won several large bids, including transactions on extended
payment terms, based on aggressive pricing.
The Company monitors gross profits and gross profit margins carefully. Price competition in our market intensified further in
2012, with competitors lowering their prices significantly and the Company responding immediately. Although our sales volume
increased substantially as a result, gross margins, as well as the rebates and discounts that are material elements of the Company’s
overall profitability, were negatively impacted during the year ended December 31, 2012.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Total selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for 2012 were $15.4 million compared to $14.6 million in 2011,
representing an increase of $0.8 million. This increase is primarily the result of an increase in sales commissions for our TechXtend
segment due to our growth in this segment, the addition of employees in sales, finance and operations to support business growth and
higher professional fees. As a result of the increase in net sales, SG&A expenses declined as a percentage of net sales to 5.2% in 2012,
compared to 5.9% in 2011.
Direct selling costs (a component of SG&A) for 2012 were $8.1 million compared to $7.8 million in 2011. Total direct selling
costs for our Lifeboat Distribution segment for 2012 were $4.5 million compared to $4.7 million in 2011, mainly due to lower
commission and bonus expense compared to the prior year. Total direct selling costs for our TechXtend segment for 2012 were $3.6
million compared to $3.1 million in 2011. The increase in the TechXtend segment was due to higher commission, salaries and bonus
expense resulting from growth in the segment.
The Company expects that its SG&A expenses, as a percentage of net sales, may vary depending on changes in sales volume,
as well as the levels of continuing investments in key growth initiatives.
Income Taxes
For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $3.6 million which consists of
a provision of $2.8 million for U.S. federal income taxes, as well as a $0.5 million provision for state and local taxes, a $0.2 million
provision for foreign taxes, and a deferred tax expense of $0.1 million. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had a U.S. deferred tax
asset of approximately $0.5 million.
For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $3.4 million which consists of
a provision of $2.4 million for U.S. federal income taxes, as well as a $0.5 million provision for state and local taxes, a $0.3 million
provision for foreign taxes, and a deferred tax expense of $0.3 million. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had a U.S. deferred tax
asset of approximately $0.6 million.

present the effects on the line items of net income of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income if
the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) to be reclassified in its
entirety to net income in the same reporting period. ASU 2013-02 is effective prospectively for the Company for fiscal years, and
interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of the amended guidance did not have a
significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash and cash equivalents increased by $9.8 million to $19.6 million at December 31, 2013 from $9.8 million at
December 31, 2012. Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $10.3 million, net cash provided by investing activities
amounted to $4.2 million, and net cash used in financing activities amounted to $4.8 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities in 2013 was $10.3 million. In 2013, cash was mainly provided by $8.1 million from
net income net of non-cash charges, a $2.0 million decrease in accounts receivable, a $0.4 million decrease in inventory, and a $0.8
million increase in accounts payable, offset in part by an increase in prepaid and other current assets of $0.8 million.
In 2013, cash provided by investing activities was $4.2 million. This resulted primarily from $4.4 million net redemptions of
available-for-sale marketable securities. These securities are highly rated and highly liquid. These securities are classified as available-
for-sale securities in accordance with ASC Topic 320 “Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, and as a result, unrealized gains
and losses are reported as part of accumulated other comprehensive income. This was partially offset by $0.2 million for the purchase
of equipment and leasehold improvements.
Net cash used in financing activities in 2013 of $4.8 million consisted of $3.0 million of dividend payments on our Common
Stock and $2.1 million for the purchases of treasury shares of our Common Stock offset by the tax benefit from share based
compensation of $0.2 million and the exercise of stock options of $0.2 million.
In 2008, the Board of Directors authorized the purchase of 500,000 shares of our Common Stock. In 2002, the Board of
Directors authorized the purchase of 1,490,000 shares of our Common Stock. In October 1999, the Company was authorized by the
Board of Directors to buy back 521,013 shares of our Common Stock in both open market and private transactions, as conditions
warrant. A total of 2,296,066 shares of the Company’s stock had been bought back as of December 31, 2013 leaving a balance of
214,947 shares of Common Stock that the Company is authorized to buy back in the future.
On October 23, 2012, the Board of Directors approved, and on October 29, 2012, the Company entered into a written
purchase plan intended to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, as amended (the “Plan”). Purchases
involving shares of the Company’s Common Stock under the Plan commenced October 29, 2012, and the Plan is intended to be in
effect until October 29, 2014. Pursuant to the Plan, the Company’s broker shall effect purchases of up to an aggregate of 350,000
shares of Common Stock.
We intend to hold the repurchased shares in treasury for general corporate purposes, including issuances under various stock
plans. As of December 31, 2013, we held 631,207 shares of our Common Stock in treasury at an average cost of $11.12 per share. As
of December 31, 2012, we held 543,627 shares of our Common Stock in treasury at an average cost of $9.88 per share.

The Company’s current and anticipated use of its cash and cash equivalents is, and will continue to be, to fund working
capital, operational expenditures, the stock repurchase program and dividends, if any, declared by the Board of Directors.
On January 4, 2013, the Company entered into a $10,000,000 revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with Citibank, N.A.
pursuant to a Business Loan Agreement, Promissory Note, Commercial Security Agreements and Commercial Pledge Agreement. The
Credit Facility, which will be used for business and working capital purposes, including financing of larger extended payment terms
sales transactions which may become a more significant portion of the Company’s net sales. The Credit Facility matures on
January 4, 2016. (see Note 7 Credit Facility in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements). As of December 31, 2013 there
were no borrowings outstanding on the Credit Facility.
The Company believes that the cash flows from operations and funds held in cash and cash equivalents as well as available borrowing
on the Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund the Company’s working capital and cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $19.6 million as of December 31, 2013, of which $3.7 million was held outside the
United States. Our current intention is to reinvest the majority of our earnings from foreign operations. Our current plans do not
anticipate a need to repatriate cash to fund our domestic operations. In the event cash from foreign operations is needed to fund
operations in the U.S., we would be subject to additional income taxes in the U.S. reduced by any foreign taxes paid on these earnings.

(1) Operating leases relate primarily to the lease of the space used for our operations in Shrewsbury, New Jersey, Mississauga, Canada
and Almere, Netherlands. The commitments for operating leases include the minimum rent payments.
As of December 31, 2013, the Company is not committed by lines of credit or standby letters of credit, and has no standby
repurchase obligations or other commercial commitments (see Note 7 Credit Facility in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial
Statements).
Foreign Exchange
The Company’s Canadian business is subject to changes in demand or pricing resulting from fluctuations in currency
exchange rates or other factors. We are subject to fluctuations primarily in the Canadian Dollar-to-U.S. Dollar exchange rate.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2013, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303 (a)(4)(ii) of SEC
Regulation S-K.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the
Company’s consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of these
financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of
software and hardware for microcomputers, servers and networks on a gross revenue recognition basis upon shipment or upon
electronic delivery of the product.
On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to product returns, bad debts, inventories,
investments, intangible assets, income taxes, stock-based compensation, contingencies and litigation.
The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities
that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The Company believes the following critical accounting policies used in the preparation of its consolidated financial
statements affect its more significant judgments and estimates.
The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to
make required payments. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their
ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference
between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If
actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-offs may be required.
The Company has considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the
need for the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. In the event the Company were to determine that it would not be able to
realize all or part of its net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to income in the
period such determination was made.
Under the fair value recognition provision, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair
value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period.
We make certain assumptions in order to value and expense our various share-based payment awards. In connection with valuing
stock options, we use the Black-Scholes model, which requires us to estimate certain subjective assumptions. The key assumptions we
make are: the expected volatility of our stock; the expected term of the award; and the expected forfeiture rate. In connection with our
restricted stock programs we make assumptions principally related to the forfeiture rate. We review our valuation assumptions
periodically and, as a result, we may change our valuation assumptions used to value stock based awards granted in future periods.
Such changes may lead to a significant change in the expense we recognize in connection with share-based payments.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
In addition to its activities in the USA, 7% of the Company’s 2013 sales were generated in Canada. We are subject to general
risks attendant to the conduct of business in Canada, including economic uncertainties and foreign government regulations. In
addition, the Company’s Canadian business is subject to changes in demand or pricing resulting from fluctuations in currency
exchange rates or other factors.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company maintains its cash
accounts primarily in financial institutions with global operations. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
The Company’s $4.4 million investments in marketable securities at December 31, 2012 were invested in insured certificates
of deposit at banks located in the USA. At December 31, 2013 the Company had no investments in marketable securities.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
See Index to Consolidated Financial Statements at Item 15(a).
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management
carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures”, as
such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report.
This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Company’s
President, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer (principal financial officer). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of the end of the period covered by this report, to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and
communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act.
Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, and effected by the Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.
Internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records in reasonable detail that accurately and fairly reflect our
transactions and disposition of assets; providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our
financial statements in accordance with GAAP; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of the Company, are
made in accordance of with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and providing reasonable assurance that
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of Company assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements would be
prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Page 22
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a
misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to
future periods are subject to the risk that, owing to changes in conditions, controls may become inadequate, or that the degree of
compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management
concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2013. There were no changes
in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal
control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting
firm.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Wayside Technology Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Wayside Technology Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control
over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of Wayside Technology Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements referred to above, we also audited the consolidated financial
statement schedule, Schedule II — Valuation and Qualifying Accounts, for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 2013. In our opinion, this financial schedule, when considered in relation to the consolidated financial statements taken
as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information stated therein.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Amounts in tables in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Note 1. Description of Business
Wayside Technology Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”), was incorporated in Delaware in 1982. The Company
distributes software developed by others through resellers indirectly to customers worldwide. We also resell computer software and
hardware developed by others and provide technical services directly to customers in the United States of America (“USA”) and
Canada. We also operate a sales branch in Europe to serve our customers in this region of the world. We offer an extensive line of
products from leading publishers of software and tools for virtualization/cloud computing, security, networking, storage &
infrastructure management, application lifecycle management and other technically sophisticated domains as well as computer
hardware.
The Company is organized into two reportable operating segments. The “Lifeboat Distribution” segment distributes technical software
to corporate resellers, value added resellers (VARs), consultants and systems integrators worldwide. The “TechXtend” segment is a
value-added reseller of software, hardware and services for corporations, government organizations and academic institutions in the
USA and Canada.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation and Operations
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Wayside Technology Group, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (“US GAAP”) requires management to make extensive use of certain estimates and assumptions which 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 the reporting periods. The significant areas of estimation include but are not
limited to accounting for allowance for doubtful accounts, sales returns, inventory obsolescence, income taxes, depreciation,
contingencies and stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Net Income Per Common Share
The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board “FASB”ASC Topic 260,
“Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the
weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by
dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for
potentially dilutive securities including unexercised stock option grants and nonvested shares of restricted stock.

The Company considers all liquid short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable principally represents amounts collectible from our customers. The Company performs ongoing credit
evaluations of its customers but generally does not require collateral to support any outstanding obligation.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable
We provide allowances for doubtful accounts related to accounts receivable for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our
customers to make required payments. We take into consideration the overall quality and aging of the receivable portfolio along with
specifically identified customer risks. If actual customer payment performance were to deteriorate to an extent not expected, additional
allowances may be required. We historically have a low write-off rate, especially on extended payment terms sales transactions.
Write-offs on extended payment terms sales transactions as a percentage of net sales amounted to 0%, 0.033% and 0.003%,
respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.
Foreign Currency Translation
Assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries have been translated at current exchange rates, and related revenues and
expenses have been translated at average rates of exchange in effect during the year. Cumulative translation adjustments have been
classified within accumulated other comprehensive income, which is a separate component of stockholders’ equity in accordance
FASB ASC Topic No. 220, “Comprehensive Income”.
F-9
Wayside Technology Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Amounts in tables in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations in credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, and
marketable securities. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s $0 and $4.4 million, respectively, of marketable securities are
comprised of insured certificates of deposit at banking institutions in the USA.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents
are deposited primarily in banking institutions with global operations. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Marketable Securities
The Company accounts for marketable securities pursuant to the FASB ASC Topic No. 320, “Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities.” Under this statement, the Company’s securities with a readily determinable fair value have been classified as available-
for-sale and are carried at fair value with an offsetting adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income in Stockholders’
Equity.
Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable
approximated fair value as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, because of the relative short maturity of these instruments. The
Company’s accounts receivable long-term is discounted to their present value at prevailing market rates so the balances approximate
fair value.
Inventory
Inventory, consisting primarily of finished products held for resale, is stated at the lower of cost (weighted average) or market.
Equipment and Leasehold Improvements
Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Equipment depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over
three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets
or the related lease terms, whichever is shorter.
Accounts receivable-long-term
Accounts receivable—long-term result from product sales with extended payment terms that are discounted to their present values at
the prevailing market rates. In subsequent periods, the accounts receivable are increased to the amounts due and payable by the
customers through the accretion of interest income on the unpaid accounts receivable due in future years. The amounts under these
long-term accounts receivable due within one year are reclassified to the current portion of accounts receivable.

Wayside Technology Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Amounts in tables in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income consists of net income for the period, the impact of unrealized foreign currency translation adjustments and
unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale marketable securities. The foreign currency translation adjustments are not currently
adjusted for income taxes as they relate to permanent investments in international subsidiaries.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue on product (software and hardware) and maintenance agreement sales are recognized once four criteria are met:
(1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) the price is fixed and determinable, (3) delivery (software and hardware) or
fulfillment (maintenance) has occurred, and (4) there is reasonable assurance of collection of the sales proceeds. Revenues from the
sales of hardware products, software products and licenses and maintenance agreements are recognized on a gross basis with the
selling price to the customer recorded as sales and the acquisition cost of the product recorded as cost of sales.
Product delivery to customers occur in a variety of ways, including (i) as physical product shipped from the Company’s warehouse,
(ii) via drop-shipment by the vendor, or (iii) via electronic delivery for software licenses. The Company leverages drop-ship
arrangements with many of its vendors and suppliers to deliver products to customers without having to physically hold the inventory
at its warehouse, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing costs. The Company recognizes revenue for drop-ship arrangements on a
gross basis. Furthermore, in such drop-ship arrangements, the Company negotiates price with the customer, pays the supplier directly
for the product shipped and bears credit risk of collecting payment from its customers. The Company serves as the principal with the
customer and, therefore, recognizes the sale and cost of sale of the product upon receiving notification from the supplier that the
product has shipped. Maintenance agreements allow customers to obtain technical support directly from the software publisher and to
upgrade, at no additional cost, to the latest technology if new applications are introduced by the software publisher during the period
that the maintenance agreement is in effect.
Sales are recorded net of discounts, rebates, and returns. Vendor rebates and price protection are recorded when earned as a reduction
to cost of sales or merchandise inventory, as applicable.
Cooperative reimbursements from vendors, which are earned and available, are recorded in the period the related advertising
expenditure is incurred. Cooperative reimbursements are recorded as a reduction of cost of sales in accordance with FASB ASC Topic
605-50 “Accounting by a Customer (including reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor.” Provisions for returns
are estimated based on historical sales returns and credit memo analysis which are adjusted to actual on a periodic basis.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has stockholder-approved stock incentive plans for employees and directors. Stock- based compensation is recognized
based on the grant date fair value and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is
generally the vesting period.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Amounts in tables in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured
using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. This method also requires a
valuation allowance against the net deferred tax asset if, based on the weighted available evidence, it is more likely than not that some
or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain
tax positions in income tax expense when assessed. The Company accounts for uncertainties in accordance with FASB ASC 740
“Income Taxes”. This standard clarified the accounting for uncertainties in income taxes. The standard prescribes criteria for
recognition and measurement of tax positions. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, and
disclosures related to income taxes associated with uncertain tax positions.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2013-02
“Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”. This update requires companies to present
the effects on the line items of net income of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income if the
amount being reclassified is required under US GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income in the same reporting period.
ASU 2013-02 is effective prospectively for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after
December 15, 2012. The adoption of the amended guidance did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 4. Fair Value Measurements
The Company accounts for the fair value measurements in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement and
Disclosure”, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company uses the following methods for determining fair value in accordance with
FASB ASC Topic 820. For assets and liabilities that are measured using quoted prices in active markets for the identical asset or
liability, the total fair value is the published market price per unit multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of
transaction costs (Level 1). Assets and liabilities that are measured using significant other observable inputs are valued by reference to
similar assets or liabilities, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other
inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data (Level 2). For all remaining assets and liabilities for
which there are no significant observable inputs, fair value is derived using an assessment of various discount rates, default risk, credit
quality and the overall capital market liquidity (Level 3).
The following table summarizes the basis used to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis in the
consolidated balance sheet:

The current year effective tax rate was primarily impacted by a change in the state of New Jersey’s apportionment rules which
lowered our state rate compared with the prior year.
The reasons for the difference between total tax expense and the amount computed by applying the U.S. statutory federal income tax
rate to income before income taxes are as follows:
Statutory rate applied to pretax income
State income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit
Foreign income taxes under U.S. statutory rate

On January 4, 2013, the Company entered into a $10,000,000 revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with Citibank, N.A.
(“Citibank”) pursuant to a Business Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), Promissory Note (the “Note”), Commercial Security
Agreements (the “Security Agreements”) and Commercial Pledge Agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”). The Credit Facility will be
used for business and working capital purposes, including financing of larger extended payment terms sales transactions. The Credit
Facility matures on January 4, 2016, at which time the Company must pay this loan in one payment of any outstanding principal plus
all accrued unpaid interest. In addition, the Company will pay regular monthly payments of all accrued unpaid interest. The interest
rate for any borrowings under the Credit Facility is subject to change from time to time based on the changes in an independent index
which is the LIBOR Rate (the “Index”). If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this loan, Citibank may designate a
substitute index after notifying the Company. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Note will be calculated using a rate of
1.500 percentage points over the Index. The Credit Facility is secured by the assets of the Company.
Among other affirmative covenants set forth in the Loan Agreement, the Company must maintain (i) a ratio of Total Liabilities to
Tangible Net Worth (each as defined in the Loan Agreement) of not greater than 2.50 to 1.00, to be tested quarterly and (ii) a
minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Loan Agreement) of 2.00 to 1.00. Additionally, the Loan Agreement
contains negative covenants related to, among other items, prohibitions against the creation of certain liens, engaging in any business
activities substantially different than those currently engaged in by the Company, and paying dividends on the Company’s stock other
than (i) dividends payable in its stock and (ii) cash dividends in amounts and frequency consistent with past practice, without first
securing the written consent of Citibank. The Company is in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2013.
At December 31, 2013, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility. The Company had interest expense of
$10 thousand related to the Credit Facility for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Note 8. Stockholders’ Equity and Stock Based Compensation
On April 21, 1995, the Board of Directors adopted the Company’s 1995 Employee Stock Plan (“1995 Plan”). The 1995 Plan, as
amended on May 7, 1998, provides for the grant of options to purchase up to 1,137,500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to

specified by the Compensation Committee, but not more than ten years from its date of grant in the case of Incentive Stock Options
(“ISO’s”) and Non-Qualified Options. Options granted under the plan are exercisable at an exercise price equal to but not less than

As permitted by FASB ASC Topic 280, the Company has utilized the aggregation criteria in combining its operations in Canada with
the domestic segments as they provide the same products and services to similar clients and are considered together when the CODM
decides how to allocate resources.
Segment income is based on segment revenue less the respective segment’s cost of revenues as well as segment direct costs (including
such items as payroll costs and payroll related costs, such as profit sharing, incentive awards and insurance) and excluding general and
administrative expenses not attributed to a business unit. The Company only identifies accounts receivable and inventory by segment
as shown below as “Selected Assets” by segment; it does not allocate its other assets, including capital expenditures by segment.
