SYNNEX CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the three and six months ended May 31, 2015 and 2014

(currency and share amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

(unaudited)

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

SYNNEX Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, herein referred to as “SYNNEX” or the “Company”) is a business process services company headquartered in Fremont, California and has operations in North America, South America, Asia, Australia and Europe.

The Company operates in two segments: Technology Solutions and Concentrix. The Technology Solutions segment distributes a broad range of information technology (“IT”) systems and products and also provides systems design and integration solutions. The Concentrix segment offers a portfolio of strategic solutions and end-to-end business services focused on customer engagement strategy, process optimization, technology innovation, front and back-office automation and business transformation to clients in ten identified industry verticals.

The accompanying interim unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of May 31, 2015 and for the three and six months ended May 31, 2015 and 2014 have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The amounts as of November 30, 2014 have been derived from the Company’s annual audited financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the financial position of the Company and its results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2014.

The results of operations for the three months ended May 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2015, or any future period and the Company makes no representations related thereto.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2014. There have been no material changes to these accounting policies. For a discussion of the significant accounting policies, please see the discussion in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2014.

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and derivative instruments.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and derivative instruments are transacted and maintained with financial institutions with high credit standing and the compositions and maturities of which are regularly monitored by management. Through May 31, 2015, the Company had not experienced any credit losses on such deposits and derivative instruments.

Accounts receivable include amounts due from customers and original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) vendors primarily in the technology industry. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and limits the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary, but generally requires no collateral. The Company also maintains allowances for potential credit losses. In estimating the required allowances, the Company takes into consideration the overall quality and aging of the receivable portfolio, the existence of a limited amount of credit insurance and specifically identified customer and vendor risks. Through May 31, 2015, such losses have been within management’s expectations.

In both the three and six months ended May 31, 2015 and 2014, no customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company's total revenue. Products purchased from the Company’s largest OEM supplier, Hewlett-Packard Company (“HP”), accounted for approximately 24% of total revenue for both the three and six months ended May 31, 2015, and for approximately 25% and 26% of total revenue for the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS---(continued)

For the three and six months ended May 31, 2015 and 2014

(currency and share amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

(unaudited)

As of both May 31, 2015 and November 30, 2014, one customer consisted of 16% of the total consolidated accounts receivable balance.

Inventories

Inventories are comprised of finished goods and work-in-process. Finished goods include products purchased for resale, system components purchased for both resale and for use in the Company’s systems design and integration business, and completed systems. Work-in-process inventories are not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to conform to current period presentation. Such reclassifications have no effect on either consolidated total assets or the cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities as previously reported.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued a new guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If the cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If the cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The new standard may be applied prospectively or retrospectively and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements upon the adoption of this new standard.

In April 2015, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the corresponding debt liability. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted, and is to be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2015, the FASB issued a new accounting standard, which eliminates from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. The guidance eliminates the separate presentation of extraordinary items on the income statement, net of tax and the related earnings per share, but does not affect the requirement to disclose material items that are unusual in nature or occurring infrequently. The new standard may be applied prospectively or retrospectively and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have an impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard for contracts with customers that will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of this standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, the standard provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include the capitalization and amortization of certain contract costs, ensuring the time value of money is considered in the transaction price, and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. This guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is prohibited. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. This guidance will be applicable to the Company at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements upon the adoption of this new standard.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In July 2013, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that requires the presentation of certain unrecognized tax benefits as reductions to deferred tax assets rather than as liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets when a net operating

loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The new accounting update was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 3—ACQUISITIONS:

Fiscal year 2014 acquisition

In fiscal year 2014, the Company acquired the assets of the customer relationship management business of International Business Machines Corporation, a New York corporation (“IBM”). The transaction was completed in phases with the initial closing completed on January 31, 2014, the second phase closing completed on April 30, 2014 and the final closing completed on September 30, 2014 for an aggregate preliminary purchase price of $418,315 as of November 30, 2014, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. During the six months ended May 31, 2015 the Company recorded adjustments of $1,157 to the fair value of acquired net tangible assets and other post-closing adjustments increasing the purchase price by $7,375 with a net increase in goodwill of $6,218 and closed the measurement period in relation to the initial and second closings completed on January 31, 2014 and April 30, 2014, respectively. The aggregate purchase price was $425,690 as of May 31, 2015.

As of May 31, 2015 and November 30, 2014, the Company was obligated to pay an amount of $28,164 and $40,000, respectively, in cash and had a receivable of $737 and $85,126, respectively from IBM related to working capital adjustments and other post-closing adjustments recognized in accordance with the agreement.

The carrying amount of the Company’s investments is shown in the table below:

Cost-method investments	$	4,555	$	—	$	4,555	$	4,578	$	—	$	4,578

Short-term trading securities generally consist of equity securities relating to the Company’s deferred compensation plan. Held-to-maturity investments primarily consist of term deposits with maturities from the date of purchase greater than three months and less than one year. These term deposits are held until the maturity date and are not traded. Long-term available-for-sale securities primarily consist of investments in other companies’ equity securities. Long-term cost-method investments consist of investments in equity securities of private entities.

Trading securities and available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value in each reporting period and therefore the carrying value of these securities equals their fair value. For cost-method securities, the Company records an impairment charge when the decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary. The fair value of cost-method investments is based on an internal valuation of the investees.

The following table summarizes the total gains recorded in “Other income (expense), net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for changes in the fair value of the Company's trading investments:

NOTE 7—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS:

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, equity risk and credit risk. The Company’s transactions in most of its foreign operations are primarily denominated in local currency. The Company enters into transactions, and owns monetary assets and liabilities, that are denominated in currencies other than the

(unaudited)

legal entity's functional currency. The Company may enter into forward contracts, option contracts, swaps, or other derivative instruments to offset a portion of the risk on expected future cash flows, on net investments in certain foreign subsidiaries and on certain existing assets and liabilities. However, the Company may choose not to hedge certain exposures for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, accounting considerations and the prohibitive economic cost of hedging particular exposures. There can be no assurance the hedges will offset more than a portion of the financial impact resulting from movements in foreign currency exchange or interest rates.

All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of a derivative are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as “Other income (expense), net” or as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, as discussed below.

As part of its risk management strategy, the Company uses short-term forward contracts to minimize its balance sheet exposure to foreign currency risk. These forward-exchange contracts are not designated as hedging instruments. The forward exchange contracts are recorded at fair value in each reporting period and any gains or losses, resulting from the changes in fair value, are recorded in earnings in the period of change.

In May 2015, the Company entered into interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $400,000 to economically convert a portion of its variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. The effective portions of cash flow hedges are recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Deferred gains and losses associated with cash flow hedges of interest expense are recognized in “Other income (expense), net” in the same period as the related expense is recognized. The ineffective portions and amounts excluded from the effectiveness testing of cash flow hedges are recognized in “Other income (expense), net.”

Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges must be de-designated as hedges when it is probable the forecasted hedged transaction will not occur in the initially identified time period or within a subsequent two-month time period. Deferred gains and losses in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” associated with such derivative instruments are reclassified immediately into “Other income (expense), net.” Any subsequent changes in fair value of such derivative instruments are reflected in “Other income (expense), net” unless they are re-designated as hedges of other transactions.

Generally, the Company does not use derivative instruments to cover equity risk and credit risk. The Company’s policy is not to allow the use of derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments are also disclosed in Note 8.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the Company’s outstanding derivative instruments as of May 31, 2015 and November 30, 2014:



		Fair Value as of
	Balance Sheet Line Item	May 31, 2015		November 30, 2014
Derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments
Foreign exchange forward contracts
	Other current assets	$	2,057	$	4,532
	Accrued liabilities	$	202	$	145
Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges
Interest rate swaps
	Accrued liabilities	$	264	$	—
	Long-term liabilities	$	1,623	$	—

The notional amounts of the foreign exchange forward contracts that were outstanding as of May 31, 2015 and November 30, 2014 were $198,660 and $316,365, respectively. The notional amounts represent the gross amounts of foreign currency, including Canadian Dollar, British Pound, Mexican Peso, Brazilian Real, Philippine Peso, Japanese Yen, Euro and Australian Dollar, that will be bought or sold at maturity. The contracts mature in six months or less. In relation to its forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments, the Company recorded gains (losses) of $154 and $11,734 in “Other income (expense), net” during the three and six months ended May 31, 2015, respectively, and $(2,807) and $1,162 during the three and

six months ended on May 31, 2014, respectively. The gains and losses on the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts are largely offset by the change in the fair value of the underlying hedged assets or liabilities.

For the three and six months ended May 31, 2015, the Company recorded a loss before tax of $1,887 in other comprehensive income related to changes in the fair value of its derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedging instruments. For the three and six months ended May 31, 2015, there was no hedge ineffectiveness related to these derivative instruments. For the three and six months ended May 31, 2015, there were no gains or losses recognized in earnings associated with an underlying exposure that did not, or was not expected to, occur; nor are there any anticipated in the normal course of business within the next twelve months. There were no derivatives designated as hedging instruments during the three and six months ended May 31, 2014.

In the Consolidated Balance Sheets, the Company does not offset derivative assets against liabilities in master netting arrangements. If derivative exposures covered by a qualifying master netting agreement had been netted in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the total derivative asset and liability positions would have been reduced by $333 each as of May 31, 2015 and $145 each as of November 30, 2014.

NOTE 8—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:

The Company’s fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;

Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Company’s investments and financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:



	As of May 31, 2015								As of November 30, 2014

The Company's cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid investments in money market funds and term deposits with maturity periods of three months or less. Restricted cash relates primarily to temporary restrictions caused by the timing of lockbox collections under the Company's borrowing arrangements and the timing of payments under vendor agreements. The carrying values of the cash equivalents approximate fair value since they are near their maturity. Investments in trading and

(unaudited)

available-for-sale securities consist of equity securities and are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices. The fair values of forward exchange contracts are measured based on the foreign currency spot and forward rates quoted by the banks or foreign currency dealers. Fair values for interest rate swaps are based on mid-market prices provided by the banks or counterparties.

The acquisition-related contingent consideration liability represents the future potential earn-out payments relating to an acquisition. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability is based on the Company’s probability assessment of the established profitability measures during the earn-out period ranging from one year to three years from the date of the acquisition.

The carrying values of held-to-maturity securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt approximate fair value due to their short maturities and interest rates which are variable in nature. The carrying value of the Company's term loans approximate their fair value since they bear interest rates that are similar to existing market rates.

During the three and six months ended May 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no transfers between the fair value measurement category levels.

NOTE 9—ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARRANGEMENTS:

The Company primarily finances its United States operations with an accounts receivable securitization program (the “U.S. Arrangement”). The U.S. Arrangement has a maturity date of November 4, 2016. The Company’s subsidiary, which is the borrower under the U.S. Arrangement, can borrow up to a maximum of $600,000 based upon eligible trade accounts receivable generated by our parent company and one of its United States subsidiaries. The U.S. Arrangement includes an accordion feature to allow requests for an increase in the lenders' commitment by an additional $100,000. The effective borrowing cost under the U.S. Arrangement is a blended rate that includes prevailing dealer commercial paper rates and the daily London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), plus a program fee of 0.375% per annum based on the used portion of the commitment, and a facility fee of 0.40% per annum payable on the aggregate commitment of the lenders. As of May 31, 2015, there were no borrowings outstanding under the U.S. Arrangement. $578,000 was outstanding as of November 30, 2014.

Under the terms of the U.S. Arrangement, the Company and one of the Company's United States subsidiaries sell, on a revolving basis, their receivables to a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary. The borrowings are funded by pledging all of the rights, title and interest in and to the receivables acquired by the Company's subsidiary as security. Any borrowings under the U.S. Arrangement are recorded as debt on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. As is customary in trade accounts receivable securitization arrangements, a credit rating agency's downgrade of the third party issuer of commercial paper or of a back-up liquidity provider (which provides a source of funding if the commercial paper market cannot be accessed) could result in an increase in the Company's cost of borrowing or loss of the Company's financing capacity under these programs if the commercial paper issuer or liquidity back-up provider is not replaced, or if the lender whose commercial paper issuer or liquidity back-up provider is not replaced does not elect to offer the Company an alternative rate. Loss of such financing capacity could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

The Company also has other financing agreements in North America with various financial institutions (“Flooring Companies”) to allow certain customers of the Company to finance their purchases directly with the Flooring Companies. Under these agreements, the Flooring Companies pay to the Company the selling price of products sold to various customers, less a discount, within approximately 15 to 30 days from the date of sale. The Company is contingently liable to repurchase inventory sold under flooring agreements in the event of any default by its customers under the agreement and such inventory being repossessed by the Flooring Companies. Please see Note 16—Commitments and Contingencies for further information.

SYNNEX U.S. credit agreement

In November 2013, the Company entered into a senior secured credit agreement (the “U.S. Credit Agreement”) which was comprised of a $275,000 revolving credit facility and a $225,000 term loan. In May 2015, the U.S. Credit Agreement was amended to increase the term loan to $625,000. The Company may request incremental commitments to increase the principal amount of revolving loans or term loans available under the U.S. Credit Agreement up to $350,000. The U.S. Credit Agreement matures in May 2020.

Interest on borrowings under the U.S. Credit Agreement can be based on LIBOR or a base rate at the Company's option. Loans borrowed under the U.S. Credit Agreement bear interest, in the case of LIBOR loans, at a per annum rate equal to the applicable LIBOR, plus a margin which may range from 1.50% to 2.25%, based on the Company's consolidated leverage ratios, as determined in accordance with the U.S. Credit Agreement. Loans borrowed under the U.S. Credit Agreement that are not LIBOR loans, and are instead base rate loans, bear interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) the greatest of (A) the Federal Funds Rate plus a margin of 1/2 of 1.0%, (B) LIBOR plus 1.0% per annum, and (C) the rate of interest announced, from time to time, by the agent, Bank of America, N.A, as its “prime rate,” plus (ii) a margin which may range from 0.50% to 1.25%, based on the Company's consolidated leverage ratios as determined in accordance with the U.S. Credit Agreement.

The outstanding principal amount of the term loan is repayable in quarterly installments, in an amount equal to (a) for each of the first eight full calendar quarters ending after the U.S. Credit Agreement amendment entered into May 2015, 1.25% of the amended principal amount of the term loan, (b) for each of the next four calendar quarters ending thereafter, 1.875% of

the amended principal amount of the term loan, (c) for each calendar quarter ending thereafter, 2.50% of the amended principal amount of the term loan and (d) on the May 2020 maturity date of the term loan, the outstanding principal amount of the term loan. The Company’s obligations under the U.S. Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the parent company’s and its United States domestic subsidiaries’ assets and are guaranteed by certain of its United States domestic subsidiaries.

As of May 31, 2015 and November 30, 2014, balances outstanding under the term loan component of the U.S. Credit Agreement were $625,000 and $219,375, respectively. There were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of May 31, 2015 and $60,000 was outstanding as of November 30, 2014. In addition, there was $1,500 outstanding as of both May 31, 2015 and November 30, 2014, in standby letters of credit under the U.S. Credit Agreement.

SYNNEX Canada revolving line of credit

SYNNEX Canada Limited (“SYNNEX Canada”) has a revolving line of credit arrangement with a group of financial institutions (the “Canadian Revolving Arrangement”) which has a maximum commitment of CAD100,000 and includes an accordion feature to increase the maximum commitment by an additional CAD25,000 to CAD125,000, at SYNNEX Canada's request. The Canadian Revolving Arrangement also provides a sublimit of $5,000 for the issuance of standby letters of credit. As of both May 31, 2015 and November 30, 2014, there were no letters of credit outstanding.

SYNNEX Canada has granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets in favor of the lender under the Canadian Revolving Arrangement. In addition, the Company pledged its stock in SYNNEX Canada as collateral for the Canadian Revolving Arrangement. The interest rate applicable under the Canadian Revolving Arrangement is equal to (i) the Canadian base rate plus a margin of 0.75% for a Base Rate Loan in Canadian Dollars, (ii) the US base rate plus a margin of 0.75% for a Base Rate Loan in U.S. Dollars, and (iii) the Bankers' Acceptance rate (“BA”) plus a margin of 2.00% for a BA Rate Loan. The Canadian base rate means the greater of (a) the prime rate determined by a major Canadian financial institution and (b) the one month Canadian Dealer Offered Rate (“CDOR”) (the average rate applicable to Canadian Dollar bankers' acceptances for the applicable period) plus 1.50%. The US base rate means the greater of (a) a reference rate determined by a major Canadian financial institution for US dollar loans made to Canadian borrowers and (b) the US federal funds rate plus 0.50%. A fee of 0.25% per annum is payable with respect to the unused portion of the commitment. The credit arrangement expires in May 2017. Balances outstanding under the Canadian Revolving Arrangement were $8,047 and $30,726 as of May 31, 2015 and November 30, 2014, respectively.

SYNNEX Canada term loan

SYNNEX Canada has a term loan associated with the purchase of its logistics facility in Guelph, Canada. The interest rate for the unpaid principal amount is a fixed rate of 5.374% per annum. The final maturity date for repayment of the unpaid principal is April 1, 2017. The balances outstanding on the term loan as of May 31, 2015 and November 30, 2014 were $5,393 and $6,230, respectively.

SYNNEX Infotec credit facility

SYNNEX Infotec has a credit agreement with a group of financial institutions for a maximum commitment of JPY14,000,000. The credit agreement is comprised of a JPY6,000,000 term loan and a JPY8,000,000 short-term revolving credit facility. SYNNEX Infotec’s obligations under this credit facility are secured by liens on certain of its assets. The interest rate for the term loan and revolving credit facility is based on the Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate (“TIBOR”) plus a margin of 1.40% per annum. The unused line fee on the revolving credit facility was 0.10% per annum. This credit facility expires in December 2016. As of May 31, 2015 and November 30, 2014, the balances outstanding under the credit facility were $68,471 and $53,954, respectively. The term loan can be repaid at any time prior to expiration date without penalty. The Company has issued a guarantee to cover up to 110% of the outstanding principal amount obligations of SYNNEX Infotec to the lenders.

Other borrowings and capital leases

In September 2013, SYNNEX Infotec established a short-term revolving credit facility of JPY2,000,000 with a financial institution. The interest rate for the credit facility is based on TIBOR plus a margin of 0.50% per annum. In addition, there is a facility fee of 0.425% per annum. The credit facility can be renewed annually. As of May 31, 2015 and November 30, 2014, the balances outstanding under this credit facility were $16,111 and $16,861, respectively.

Synnex Technology International Corp. ("Synnex Technology International") is a separate entity from the Company and is a publicly-traded corporation in Taiwan. Shares are held via Peer Development Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Synnex Technology International.

Neither MiTAC Holdings nor Mr. Miau is affiliated with any person(s), entity, or entities that hold a majority interest in MiTAC Incorporated.

MiTAC Holdings generally has significant influence over the Company regarding matters submitted to stockholders for consideration, including any merger or acquisition of the Company. Among other things, this could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change of control over the Company.

The Company purchased inventories from MiTAC Holdings and its affiliates totaling $20,508 and $44,100 during the three and six months ended May 31, 2015, respectively, and totaling $32,615 and $51,500 during the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, respectively.

pricing and other material terms on a case-by-case basis with MiTAC Holdings. While MiTAC Holdings is a related party and a controlling stockholder, the Company believes that the significant terms under its arrangements with MiTAC Holdings, including pricing, do not materially differ from the terms it could have negotiated with unaffiliated third parties, and it has adopted a policy requiring that material transactions with MiTAC Holdings or its related parties be approved by its Audit Committee, which is composed solely of independent directors. In addition, Matthew Miau’s compensation is approved by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which is also composed solely of independent directors.

Neither MiTAC Holdings, nor Synnex Technology International is restricted from competing with the Company.

In addition to the single employer plan, employees of SYNNEX Infotec are also covered by a multi-employer, defined benefit plan.

Consistent with generally accepted accounting principles that address participation in multi-employer plans, the Company does not recognize related plan assets or liabilities in its financial statements.

The withdrawal is pending approval from both the Board of Delegates of the plan and the regulatory authorities. To the extent that the plan assets are insufficient to address the projected benefits for past participation through the date of withdrawal, the Company may incur additional costs up to $3,000.

The Company has defined benefit pension and retirement plans in other geographical locations. However, these pension programs are not material either individually or in aggregate to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 16—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

The Company leases certain of its facilities under operating lease agreements, which expire in various periods through 2025. Future minimum rental obligations under noncancellable lease agreements as of May 31, 2015 were as follow:



Fiscal Years Ending November 30,
2015 (remaining six months)	$	34,125
2016	52,639
2017	43,495
2018	35,331

Thereafter	67,519
Total minimum lease payments	$	260,727

The Company was contingently liable as of May 31, 2015 under agreements to repurchase repossessed inventory acquired by flooring companies as a result of default on floor plan financing arrangements by the Company's customers. These arrangements are described in Note 9—Accounts Receivable Arrangements. Losses, if any, would be the difference between the repossession cost and the resale value of the inventory. There have been no repurchases through May 31, 2015 under these agreements and the Company is not aware of any pending customer defaults or repossession obligations.

From time to time, the Company receives notices from third parties, including customers and suppliers, seeking indemnification, payment of money or other actions in connection with claims made against them. Also, the Company is involved in various bankruptcy preference actions where the Company was a supplier to the companies now in bankruptcy. In addition, the Company is subject to various other claims, both asserted and unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company is currently not involved in any material proceedings.

In January 2014, the Company received a Civil Investigative Demand in connection with a Federal Trade Commission investigation concerning the use of a database program (the “database program”) that has operated for several years under the auspices of the Global Technology Distribution Council (“GTDC”), a trade group of which the Company is a member. Certain GTDC members who participate in the program provide sales data to a third party independent contractor chosen by the GTDC. The contractor aggregates the data and makes it available to program participants. The Company understands that other GTDC members participating in the program have received similar Civil Investigative Demands.

In July 2014, the Company completed its response to the Civil Investigative Demand. The Civil Investigative Demand merely sought information, and no proceedings have been instituted against any person. The Company does not have any reason to believe that there has been any conduct by the Company or its employees that would be actionable under the antitrust laws in connection with its participation in the database program. As this matter is at a preliminary stage, it is not possible to predict the potential impact, if any, of the Civil Investigative Demand or whether any actions may be instituted by the FTC against any person.

In December 2009, the Company sold China Civilink (Cayman), which operated in China as HiChina Web Solutions, to Alibaba.com Limited. In conjunction with this sale, the Company has recorded a contingent indemnification liability of $4,122.

The Company does not believe that the above commitments and contingencies will have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Guarantees

The Company, as the ultimate parent, guaranteed the obligations of SYNNEX Investment Holdings Corporation up to $35,035 in connection with the sale of China Civilink (Cayman), which operated in China as HiChina Web Solutions, to Alibaba.com Limited.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates for the three and six months ended May 31, 2015 from our disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2014. For more information on all of our critical accounting policies, please see the discussion in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2014 and Note 2 of the financial statements.

Acquisitions

We continually seek to augment our product and service offerings through both internal expansion and strategic acquisitions of businesses and assets that complement and expand our global operational capabilities. We also divest businesses that we deem no longer strategic to our ongoing operations. Our historical acquisitions have extended the geographic reach of our operations, particularly in targeted markets, and have diversified and expanded the services we provide to our customers and OEM suppliers. Our prior acquisitions have brought us new reseller, retail and corporate customers, OEM suppliers, product lines and service offerings, expanded our service portfolio, delivery capabilities and geographic reach, deep process expertise, managerial talent and technological capabilities. We account for acquisitions using the purchase method of accounting and include acquired entities within our Consolidated Financial Statements from the closing date of the acquisition.

Fiscal year 2014 acquisition

In fiscal year 2014, we acquired the assets of the customer relationship management business of IBM. The transaction was completed in phases with the initial closing completed on January 31, 2014, the second phase closing completed on April 30, 2014 and the final closing completed on September 30, 2014, for an aggregate purchase price of $425.7 million. As of May 31, 2015, we were obligated to pay $28.2 million in cash and had a receivable of $0.7 million from IBM.

Inter-segment elimination	(3,577		)	(2,945		)	21.5	%	(7,169		)	(5,833		)	22.9	%

In our Technology Solutions segment, we distribute in excess of 30,000 technology products (as measured by active SKUs) from more than 300 IT, CE and OEM suppliers to more than 20,000 resellers. The prices of our products are highly dependent on the volumes purchased within a product category. The products we sell from one period to the next are often not comparable because of rapid changes in product models and features. The revenue generated in our Concentrix segment relates to end-to-end business services around customer engagement strategy, process optimization, technology innovation, front and back-office automation and business transformation to clients in ten identified industry verticals. Inter-segment elimination represents services and transactions generated between our reportable segments that are eliminated on consolidation.

Revenue in our Technology Solutions segment during the three and six months ended May 31, 2015 decreased, compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to the loss of a significant vendor providing consumer retail products, as a result of its acquisition by a third party, and the negative impact of foreign currency translation, primarily from the weakening of the Japanese Yen and Canadian Dollar. This decrease was partially offset by increased demand for our systems design and integration solutions.

The increase in revenue in our Concentrix segment during the three and six months ended May 31, 2015, compared to the prior year periods, was primarily due to the full period impact of the acquisition of the IBM CRM business with the initial closing completed on January 31, 2014 and the second closing completed on April 30, 2014, partially offset by the adverse impact of foreign currency translation of $23.9 million and $40.8 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended

Table of Contents

May 31, 2015, primarily associated with the Japanese Yen, the Australian Dollar, the British Pound and Euro. Adjusting for foreign currency translation and the acquisition of the IBM CRM business, revenue in our Concentrix segment increased 10.2% and 5.8% for the three and six months ended May 31, 2015, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, due to additional customer contract signings and increased volumes from existing customers.

Gross Profit

Gross profit	$	300,059		$	279,014		7.5	%	$	588,277		$	485,660		21.1	%
Gross margin	9.22		%	8.08		%			9.11		%	7.49		%

Our gross profit is affected by a variety of factors, including our sources of revenue by segments, competition, average selling prices, mix of products and services we sell, our customers, product costs along with rebate and discount programs from our suppliers, reserves or settlement adjustments, freight costs, charges for inventory losses, acquisitions and divestitures of business units and fluctuations in revenues. Concentrix margins, which are generally higher than those in our Technology Solution segment, can also be impacted by additional lead time for programs to be fully scalable and transition and initial set-up costs.

Gross margin during the three months and six months ended May 31, 2015 increased from the prior year periods primarily due to favorable product and service mix and higher gross margin in our Technology Solutions segment.

Gross profit and gross margin in our Technology Solutions segment increased during the three and six months ended May 31, 2015, compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to strong product pricing, foreign currency exchange benefits associated with our system design and integration solutions and lower inventory reserve provision. This increase in gross profit during the three and six months ended May 31, 2015 was partially offset by lower gross profit from consumer sales in the U.S. and in Japan and the translation loss of foreign exchange rates, primarily due to the weakening of the Canadian Dollar and the Japanese Yen.

Gross profit in our Concentrix segment during the three and six months ended May 31, 2015 increased from the prior year periods primarily due to the full period impact of our acquisition of the IBM CRM business with the initial closing completed on January 31, 2014 and the second closing completed on April 30, 2014. Gross profit and gross margin were adversely affected by foreign exchange and losses of $6.3 million and $15.3 million for the three and six months ended May 31, 2015, respectively, due to the delayed launch associated with one of our customers.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses



	Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended

Selling, general and administrative expenses	$	210,698		$	210,931		(0.1	)%	$	419,969		$	355,627		18.1	%
Percentage of revenue	6.47		%	6.11		%			6.50		%	5.48		%

Our selling, general and administrative expense primarily consists of personnel costs such as salaries, commissions, bonuses, share-based compensation and temporary personnel costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include costs incurred in relation to the acquisition and integration of businesses, cost of facilities, utility expenses, professional fees, depreciation on our capital equipment, bad debt expense, amortization of our intangible assets, and marketing expenses, offset in part by reimbursements from our OEM suppliers.

The decrease in our selling, general and administrative expenses in the three months ended May 31, 2015, compared to the prior year period, was due to the favorable impact of foreign currency translation, primarily from the weakening of the Japanese Yen, the Canadian Dollar and Euro. In constant currency, our selling, general and administrative expenses increased in

Table of Contents

the three months ended May 31, 2015, compared to prior year period, primarily due to the completion of the second phase of IBM CRM business acquisition on April 30, 2014 in the Concentrix segment. In addition, we incurred approximately $2.0 million in acquisition-related and integration expenses in our Concentrix segment related to the IBM CRM business acquisition during the three months ended May 31, 2015, compared to $15.7 million during the three months ended May 31, 2014.

The increase in our selling, general and administrative expenses in the six months ended May 31, 2015, compared to the prior year period, was primarily the result of the full period impact of our acquisition of the IBM CRM business in the Concentrix segment in fiscal year 2014. The higher expenses were partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign currency translation, primarily due to the weakening of the Japanese Yen and the Canadian Dollar. We incurred approximately $6.0 million in acquisition-related and integration expenses in our Concentrix segment related to the IBM CRM business acquisition during the six months ended May 31, 2015, compared to $24.7 million during the six months ended May 31, 2014.

Included in our selling, general and administrative expenses was the amortization of intangible assets of approximately $13.2 million and $27.6 million during the three and six months ended May 31, 2015, respectively, compared to $13.2 million and $16.9 million during the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, respectively, primarily as a result of the acquisition of the IBM CRM business.

The operating income and margin in our Technology Solutions segment during the three and six months ended May 31, 2015 increased from the prior year periods primarily due to our product mix, favorable product pricing and operational efficiencies.

The operating income and margin of our Concentrix segment in the three and six months ended May 31, 2015 improved from the prior year periods primarily due to the full period impact of the acquisition of the IBM CRM business in the prior year. We incurred $14.8 million and $32.8 million of acquisition-related and integration expenses and intangible amortization expenses, during the three and six months ended May 31, 2015, respectively, compared to $30.0 million and $43.6 million during the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, respectively, which favorably impacted our operating margin. Operating income was adversely impacted by approximately $7.4 million and $17.7 million of loss due to the delayed launch associated with one of our Concentrix customers for the three and six months ended May 31, 2015, respectively.

Interest Expense and Finance Charges, Net



	Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended

Interest expense and finance charges, net	$	5,815		$	6,160		(5.6	)%	$	12,256		$	10,658		15.0	%
Percentage of revenue	0.18		%	0.18		%			0.20		%	0.16		%

Amounts recorded in interest expense and finance charges, net, consist primarily of interest expense paid on our lines of credit and other debt, fees associated with third party accounts receivable flooring arrangements, and the sale or pledge of accounts receivable through our securitization facilities, offset by income earned on our cash investments.

The decrease in our interest expense and finance charges, net during the three months ended May 31, 2015 compared to the prior year period was primarily the result of a decrease in borrowing levels.

The increase in our interest expense and finance charges, net during the six months ended May 31, 2015 compared to the prior year period was primarily due to higher flooring charges in the current year period of $0.7 million and the interest income of $0.8 million from multi-year contracts in our Mexico operations in the prior year period.

Other Income (Expense), Net



	Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
	May 31, 2015			May 31, 2014			Percent Change		May 31, 2015			May 31, 2014			Percent Change

Percentage of revenue	(0.05		)%	(0.01		)%			(0.02		)%	0.04		%

Amounts recorded as other income (expense), net include foreign currency transaction gains and losses, investment gains and losses (including those in our deferred compensation plan) and other non-operating gains and losses.

The decrease in other income (expense), net in the three months ended May 31, 2015 compared to the prior year period was due to higher foreign currency losses of $1.4 million.

The decrease in other income (expense), net in the six months ended May 31, 2015 compared to the prior year period was due to higher foreign currency losses of $1.6 million and $2.9 million received from a class-action legal settlement in the prior year period.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income taxes consist of our current and deferred tax expense resulting from our income earned in domestic and foreign jurisdictions.

Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended May 31, 2015 was 36.7% and 36.4%, respectively, compared to 35.9% and 36.1% for the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended May 31, 2015 increased due to the mix of income in different geographic regions.

Our future effective tax rates could be adversely affected by earnings being lower than anticipated in countries where we have lower statutory tax rates and earnings being higher than anticipated in countries where we have higher statutory tax rates, by changes in the valuations of our deferred tax assets or liabilities, or by changes or interpretations in tax laws, regulations or accounting principles. In addition, we are subject to the continuous examination of our income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes.

Net Loss (Income) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests represents the share of net income attributable to others, which is recognized for the portion of our subsidiaries’ equity not owned by us. The change in the net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the three and six months ended May 31, 2015 as compared to the prior year period was not material to our results of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

Our business is working capital intensive. Our working capital needs are primarily to finance accounts receivable and inventory. We rely heavily on debt, accounts receivable arrangements, our securitization programs and our revolver programs for our working capital needs.

We have financed our growth and cash needs to date primarily through working capital financing facilities, bank credit lines and cash generated from operations.

To increase our market share and better serve our customers, we may further expand our operations through investments or acquisitions. We expect that such expansion would require an initial investment in working capital, personnel, facilities and operations. These investments or acquisitions would likely be funded primarily by additional borrowings or issuing common stock.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $335.6 million for the six months ended May 31, 2015, primarily due to net income of $98.2 million, adjustments for non-cash items of $59.1 million, a decrease in accounts receivables of $369.5 million and a decrease in inventories of $133.4 million. These cash inflows were partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable of $256.1 million, a decrease in accrued liabilities of $33.0 million and an increase in other assets of $29.6 million. The decrease in accounts receivable, accounts payable and inventories was primarily due to lower revenue in our Technology Solutions segment during the three months ended May 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended November 30, 2014. The adjustments for non-cash items consist primarily of amortization, depreciation, tax benefit from employee stock plans, stock-based compensation expense and the provision for doubtful accounts.

Net cash used in operating activities was $199.7 million for the six months ended May 31, 2014, primarily due to an increase in inventories of $332.1 million and accounts receivables of $200.1 million. These cash outflows were partially offset by our net income of $78.0 million, adjustments for non-cash items of $47.6 million, an increase in accounts payable of $111.1 million and an increase in accrued liabilities of $103.9 million. The increase in inventories was primarily due to the growth of our Technology Solutions segment. The increase in accounts receivables was the result of the receivables from the newly acquired IBM CRM business. The increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities was primarily due to the newly acquired IBM CRM business. The adjustments for non-cash items consist primarily of depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expense.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended May 31, 2015 was $28.7 million, primarily due to the receipt of $65.3 million towards working capital and other post-closing adjustments related to the acquisition of the IBM CRM business. This cash inflow was offset, in part, by our capital expenditures during the period of $45.3 million primarily to support our Concentrix segment growth.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended May 31, 2014 was $402.3 million, which was primarily due to a cash payment of $390.4 million for the acquisition of the IBM CRM business. Our capital expenditures during the period were $20.3 million to support our growth and higher business volumes. These cash outflows were offset in part by $2.9 million of proceeds from the sale of our trading investments, net of purchases and a $2.2 million change in restricted cash due to the timing of our lockbox collections under our borrowing arrangements.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended May 31, 2015 was $326.7 million, consisting primarily of $642.9 million net repayments of our securitization arrangements and revolving lines of credit and a $78.3 million decrease in book overdraft, partially offset by $408.3 million of proceeds from an increase in our term loan, net of issuance cost.

Table of Contents

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended May 31, 2014 was $656.2 million, consisting primarily of $657.8 million of net receipts on our securitization arrangement, revolving lines of credit and other credit facility arrangements. The increase in borrowings was primarily to fund the acquisition and working capital requirements of the newly acquired CRM business from IBM and our systems design and integration services business. These cash inflows were partially offset by payment of contingent consideration of $5.1 million and a decrease in our book overdraft of $1.6 million.

Capital Resources

Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $215.5 million and $180.1 million as of May 31, 2015 and November 30, 2014, respectively. Of our total cash and cash equivalents, the cash held by our foreign subsidiaries was $165.0 million and $174.8 million as of May 31, 2015 and November 30, 2014, respectively. Repatriation of the cash held by our foreign subsidiaries would be subject to United States federal income taxes. Also, repatriation of some foreign balances is restricted by local laws. However, we have historically fully utilized and reinvested all foreign cash to fund our foreign operations and expansion. If in the future our intentions change and we repatriate the cash back to the United States, we will report in our consolidated financial statements the expected impact of the applicable taxes depending upon the planned timing and manner of such repatriation. Presently, we believe that we have sufficient resources, cash flow and liquidity within the United States to fund current and expected future working capital requirements.

We believe that our available cash balances, the cash flows expected to be generated from operations and our existing sources of liquidity will be sufficient to satisfy our current and planned working capital and investment needs for the next twelve months in all geographies. We also believe that our longer-term working capital, planned capital expenditures, anticipated stock repurchases, dividend payments and other general corporate funding requirements will be satisfied through cash flows from operations and, to the extent necessary, from our borrowing facilities and future financial market activities.

Our accounts receivable securitization program and our U.S. credit facility agreement are renewable on their expiration dates. We have no reason to believe that these arrangements will not be renewed as we continue to be in good credit standing with the participating financial institutions. We have had similar borrowing arrangements with various financial institutions throughout our years as a public company.

On-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the United States, we have an accounts receivable securitization program, or the U.S. Arrangement. The U.S. Arrangement has a maturity date of November 4, 2016. Our subsidiary, which is the borrower under the U.S. Arrangement, can borrow up to a maximum of $600.0 million based upon eligible trade accounts receivable generated by our parent company and one of its United States subsidiaries. The U.S. Arrangement includes an accordion feature to allow requests for an increase in the lenders' commitment by an additional $100.0 million. The effective borrowing cost under the U.S. Arrangement is a blended rate that includes prevailing dealer commercial paper rates and the daily London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, rate, plus a program fee of 0.375% per annum based on the used portion of the commitment, and a facility fee of 0.40% per annum payable on the aggregate commitment of the lenders. As of May 31, 2015, there were no outstanding balances under the U.S. Arrangement, and there was $578.0 million outstanding as of November 30, 2014.

Under the terms of the U.S. Arrangement, our parent company and one of its United States subsidiaries sell, on a revolving basis, their receivables to a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary. The borrowings are funded by pledging all of the rights, title and interest in and to the receivables acquired by our subsidiary as security. Any borrowings under the U.S. Arrangement are recorded as debt on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. As is customary in trade accounts receivable securitization arrangements, a credit rating agency's downgrade of the third party issuer of commercial paper or of a back-up liquidity provider (which provides a source of funding if the commercial paper market cannot be accessed) could result in an increase in our cost of borrowing or loss of our financing capacity under these programs if the commercial paper issuer or liquidity back-up provider is not replaced, or if the lender whose commercial paper issuer or liquidity back-up provider is not replaced does not elect to offer us an alternate rate. Loss of such financing capacity could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We have a senior secured credit agreement, or the U.S. Credit Agreement, which is comprised of a $275.0 million revolving credit facility and a $625.0 million term loan. We may request incremental commitments to increase the principal amount of revolving loans or term loans available under the U.S. Credit Agreement up to $350.0 million. The U.S. Credit Agreement matures in May 2020. Interest on borrowings under the U.S. Credit Agreement can be based on a LIBOR rate, or a base rate, at our option. Loans borrowed under the U.S. Credit Agreement bear interest, in the case of LIBOR loans, at a per

Table of Contents

annum rate equal to the applicable interest period for a LIBOR loan, plus a margin which may range from 1.50% to 2.25%, based on our consolidated leverage ratios, as determined in accordance with the U.S. Credit Agreement. Loans borrowed under the Credit Agreement that are not LIBOR loans, and are instead base rate loans, bear interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) the greatest of (A) the Federal Funds Rate plus a margin of 1/2 of 1.0%, (B) LIBOR plus 1.0% per annum, and (C) the rate of interest announced, from time to time, by the agent, Bank of America, N.A., as its “prime rate,” plus (ii) a margin which may range from 0.50% to 1.25%, based on our consolidated leverage ratio, as determined in accordance with the U.S. Credit Agreement. The outstanding principal amount of the term loan is repayable in quarterly installments, in an amount equal to (a) for each of the first eight full calendar quarters ending after the U.S. Credit Agreement amendment entered into May 2015, 1.25% of the amended principal amount of the term loan, (b) for each of the next four calendar quarters ending thereafter, 1.875% of the amended principal amount of the term loan, (c) for each calendar quarter ending thereafter, 2.50% of the amended principal amount of the term loan and (d) on the May 2020 maturity date of the term loan, the outstanding principal amount of the term loan. Our obligations under the U.S. Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the parent company and its United States domestic subsidiaries’ assets and are guaranteed by certain of our United States domestic subsidiaries. As of May 31, 2015 and November 30, 2014, $625.0 million and $219.4 million, respectively, were outstanding under the term loan component of the U.S. Credit Agreement. There were no borrowings outstanding under the secured revolver as of May 31, 2015. $60.0 million was outstanding as of November 30, 2014. In addition, there was $1.5 million outstanding as of both May 31, 2015 and November 30, 2014 in standby letters of credit under the U.S. Credit Agreement.

SYNNEX Canada Limited, or SYNNEX Canada, has a revolving line of credit arrangement with a group of financial institutions, or the Canadian Revolving Arrangement, which has a maximum commitment of CAD100.0 million and includes an accordion feature to increase the maximum commitment by an additional CAD25.0 million to CAD125.0 million, at SYNNEX Canada's request. The Canadian Revolving Arrangement also provides a sublimit of $5.0 million for the issuance of standby letters of credit. There were no letters of credit outstanding as of both May 31, 2015 and November 30, 2014. SYNNEX Canada has granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets in favor of the lender under the Canadian Revolving Arrangement. In addition, we pledged our stock in SYNNEX Canada as collateral for the Canadian Revolving Arrangement. The interest rate applicable under the Canadian Revolving Arrangement is equal to (i) the Canadian base rate plus a margin of 0.75% for a Base Rate Loan in Canadian Dollars, (ii) the US base rate plus a margin of 0.75% for a Base Rate Loan in U.S. Dollars, and (iii) the Bankers' Acceptance rate, or BA, plus a margin of 2.00% for a BA Rate Loan.

SYNNEX Infotec has a credit agreement with a group of financial institutions for a maximum commitment of JPY14.0 billion. The credit agreement is comprised of a JPY6.0 billion long-term loan and a JPY8.0 billion short-term revolving credit facility. SYNNEX Infotec’s obligations under this credit facility are secured by liens on certain of its assets. The interest rate for the long-term and short-term loans is based on the Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate, or TIBOR, plus a margin of 1.40% per annum. The unused line fee on the revolving credit facility was 0.10% per annum. As of May 31, 2015 and November 30, 2014, the balances outstanding under the credit facility were $68.5 million and $54.0 million, respectively. The long-term loan can be repaid at any time prior to expiration date without penalty. We have issued a guarantee to cover up to 110% of the outstanding principal amount obligations of SYNNEX Infotec to the lenders. This credit facility expires in December 2016.

In September 2013, SYNNEX Infotec established a short-term revolving credit facility of JPY2.0 billion with a financial institution. The interest rate for the credit facility is based on TIBOR plus a margin of 0.50% per annum. In addition, there is a facility fee of 0.425% per annum. The credit facility can be renewed annually. As of May 31, 2015 and November 30, 2014, the balances outstanding under this credit facility were $16.1 million and $16.9 million, respectively.

As of May 31, 2015 and November 30, 2014, we also had $4.7 million and $6.9 million, respectively, in outstanding capital lease obligations and obligations for the sale and financing of approved accounts receivable and notes receivable with recourse provisions to SYNNEX Infotec.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In Japan, we have a factoring program under which trade accounts receivable of certain customers may be sold, without recourse, to financial institutions. Available capacity under these programs is dependent on the level of our trade accounts receivable eligible to be sold into these programs and the financial institutions’ willingness to purchase such receivables. At May 31, 2015 and November 30, 2014, we had a total of $6.8 million and $6.2 million, respectively, of trade accounts receivable sold to and held by the financial institutions under this program.

We have third-party revolving short-term financing arrangements intended to facilitate the working capital requirements of certain customers. Under these agreements, the financial institutions pay us the selling price of products sold to various customers, less a discount, within approximately 15 to 30 days from the date of sale. We are contingently liable to repurchase inventory sold under flooring agreements in the event of any default by our customers under the agreement and such inventory being repossessed by the financial institutions. There have been no repurchases through May 31, 2015 under these agreements and we are not aware of any pending customer defaults or repossession obligations. As of May 31, 2015 and November 30, 2014, accounts receivable subject to flooring agreements were $62.0 million and $93.5 million, respectively. For more information on our third-party revolving short-term financing arrangements, see Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Covenant Compliance

In relation to the U.S. Arrangement, the U.S. Credit Agreement, the Canadian Revolving Arrangement and the SYNNEX Infotec credit facility, we have a number of covenants and restrictions that, among other things, require us to comply with certain financial and other covenants. These covenants require us to maintain specified financial ratios and satisfy certain financial condition tests, including leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. They also limit our ability to incur additional debt, make intercompany loans, pay dividends and make other types of distributions, make certain acquisitions, repurchase our stock, create liens, cancel debt owed to us, enter into agreements with affiliates, modify the nature of our business, enter into sale-leaseback transactions, make certain investments, enter into new real estate leases, transfer and sell assets, cancel or terminate any material contracts and merge or consolidate. As of May 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all material covenants for the above arrangements.

Our contractual obligations consist of future payments due under the above loans, capital leases and operating lease arrangements.

(1)	Shares are held via Silver Star Developments Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of MiTAC Holdings. Excludes 373 thousand shares directly held by Matthew Miau and 224 thousand shares indirectly held by Matthew Miau through a charitable remainder trust.

(2)

Synnex Technology International Corp. ("Synnex Technology International") is a separate entity from us and is a publicly-traded corporation in Taiwan. Shares are held via Peer Development Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Synnex Technology International. MiTAC Holdings owns a noncontrolling interest of 8.7% in MiTAC Incorporated, a privately-held Taiwanese company, which in turn holds a noncontrolling interest of 13.6% in Synnex Technology International. Neither MiTAC Holdings nor Mr. Miau is affiliated with any person(s), entity, or entities that hold a majority interest in MiTAC Incorporated.

MiTAC Holdings generally has significant influence over us regarding matters submitted to stockholders for consideration, including any merger or acquisition of ours. Among other things, this could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change of control over us.

We purchased inventories from MiTAC Holdings and their affiliates totaling $20.5 million and $44.1 million during the three and six months ended May 31, 2015, respectively, and totaling $32.6 million and $51.5 million during the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, respectively. Our sales to MiTAC Holdings, and its affiliates totaled $0.3 million and $0.7 million during the three and six months ended May 31, 2015, respectively, and totaled $1.0 million and $1.9 million during the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, respectively. In addition, we received reimbursements of rent and overhead costs for facilities used by MiTAC Holdings amounting to $31,000 and $62,000 during the three and six months ended May 31, 2015, respectively, and $29,000 and $75,000 during the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, respectively.

Our business relationship with MiTAC Holdings and its affiliates has been informal and is not governed by long-term commitments or arrangements with respect to pricing terms, revenue or capacity commitments. We negotiate pricing and other material terms on a case-by-case basis with MiTAC Holdings. While MiTAC Holdings is a related party and a controlling stockholder, we believe that the significant terms under our arrangements with MiTAC Holdings, including pricing, do not materially differ from the terms we could have negotiated with unaffiliated third parties, and we have adopted a policy requiring that material transactions with MiTAC Holdings or its related parties be approved by its Audit Committee, which is composed solely of independent directors. In addition, Matthew Miau’s compensation is approved by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which is also composed solely of independent directors.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

To manage interest rate risk on the U.S. dollar-denominated floating-rate term loan maturing in 2020, the Company entered into interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $400 million, which effectively converted the floating rate debt to a fixed interest rate. Notwithstanding the above, there have been no material changes in our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk for the six months ended May 31, 2015 from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2014. For further discussion of quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, reference is made to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year then ended.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet reasonable assurance standards. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with management’s evaluation during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
