Highlight of Business Operations:System Solutions net revenues for Europe, Middle East and Africa increased $55 million or 68.4% including acquisitions and historical sales to companies noted above and increased $5 million, or 6%, excluding acquisitions, for the three months ended April 30, 2012 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2011. The $5 million increase in net revenues excluding acquisitions was primarily due to a $15 million increase in the Middle East and Africa, primarily Nigeria, United Arab Emirates, and South Africa, due to our efforts to expand in the region and demand for electronic payment solutions as this region moves towards a less cash-dominant economy, offset by a $10 million decrease elsewhere in the region primarily due to the timing of orders from customers.

For the six months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, International Systems Solutions net revenues for EMEA increased $102 million, or 69.1%, including the acquisitions and historical sales to companies noted above and increased $15 million, or 9.9%, excluding acquisitions. The $15 million increase in net revenue excluding acquisitions was mainly due to a $26 million increase in the Middle East and Africa, primarily Nigeria, United Arab Emirates, and South Africa, due to our efforts to develop markets within the region and growing demand as the region moves towards a less cash-dominant society, offset by an $11 million decrease elsewhere in the region primarily due to the timing of orders from customers.

Corporate operating loss increased $77 million, or 148.9%, for the three months ended April 30, 2012 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2011, primarily due to a $30 million increase in amortization of purchased intangible assets, a $9 million increase in acquisition, integration, and restructuring related expenses, an $18 million patent litigation loss contingency expense, a $7 million increase in amortization of step-down in deferred revenue on acquisition, a $4 million increase in personnel costs primarily due to increased headcount associated with business acquisitions and normal business growth, a $3 million increase in the provision for excess and obsolete inventory and scrap, a $2 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, a $2 million increase in facility expense, a net $2 million increase in inventory standard revaluation and purchase price variances, and a $1 million increase in amortization of the inventory step-up related to business acquisitions. These increases were partially offset by a $1 million decrease in product specific warranty expense.

The Strategy of Ben Graham – Warren Buffett’s Mentor

From 1923 to 1957 Warren Buffett’s mentor, Ben Graham, followed a strategy of investing in net-nets. He said: “It always seemed, and still seems ridiculously simple to say that if one can acquire a diversified group of common stocks at a price less than the...net current assets alone…the results should be quite satisfactory. They were so in our experience, for more than 30 years.”
Today net-nets are rare. They are collected under GuruFocus’ Net-Net Screener. GuruFocus also publishes a monthly newsletter which recommends the safest net-nets. All of these are included in GuruFocus Premium Membership.
