Basic
income (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available
to
common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is
computed
by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period
increased to include the number of additional common shares that
would
have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had
been
issued. The dilutive effect of the outstanding options is reflected
in
diluted income (loss) per share by application of the treasury stock
method. Options to purchase 2.9 million shares of common stock in
2006 and
2.5 million shares of common stock in 2005 were outstanding but not
included in the computation of diluted income per share because the
options’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of the
common shares and therefore, the effect would have been antidilutive.
In
addition, diluted net loss per share does not include 691,000
and 1,394,000 potential common shares for the three months ended
September
30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and 834,000
and 1,867,000 potential common shares derived from stock options
for the
nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, because
as a result of the Company incurring losses, their effect would have
been
antidilutive.

Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R) (“SFAS 123(R)”),
“Share-Based Payments,” which requires the measurement and recognition of
compensation expense for all share-based payment awards to employees
and
directors based on estimated fair values. SFAS 123(R) supersedes
the
Company’s previous accounting methodology using the intrinsic value method
under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”),
“Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Under the intrinsic value
method, no share-based compensation expense had been recognized at
the
time stock option awards were granted because the awards had an exercise
price equal to or greater than the market value of the Company’s stock on
the date of the grant. However, at times, compensation expense had
been
recognized upon
the modifications of stock option
grants.
|
The
Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method.
Under this transition method, compensation expense recognized during the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 included compensation expense for all
share-based awards granted prior to, but not yet vested, as of December 31,
2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the
original provisions of SFAS 123. There were no share based payment awards
granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006. In
accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the Company’s
Consolidated Financial Statements for prior periods have not been restated
to
reflect the impact of SFAS 123(R). The Company recognized compensation
expense of approximately $96,000 and $213,000 in the three and nine months
ended
September 30, 2006, respectively. There was no material impact as a
result of adopting SFAS 123(R) on basic and diluted loss per share for the
three
and nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Because
of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards, no tax benefits resulting
from the exercise of stock options have been recorded, thus there was no effect
on cash flows from operating or financing activities.
For
the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, share-based compensation expense
related to the company’s various stock option plans was allocated as follows (in
thousands):

SFAS
No.
123(R) requires the Company to present pro forma information for the periods
prior to adoption as if the Company had accounted for all stock-based
compensation under the fair value method of that statement. For purposes of
pro
forma disclosure, the estimated fair value of the options at the date of grant
is amortized over the requisite service period, which generally equals the
vesting period.
The
following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per share for the

The
Company’s operations are classified into two reporting segments: (1)
outsourced content services and (2) IT professional services. The
outsourced content services segment focuses on fabrication services
and
knowledge services. Fabrication services include digitization and
data
conversion services, content creation and XML services. Knowledge
services
include content enhancement, hyperlinking, indexing and general editorial
services. The IT professional services segment focuses on the design,
implementation, integration and deployment of systems used to author,
manage and distribute content. The Company’s outsourced content services
revenues are generated principally from its production facilities
located
in the Philippines, India and Sri Lanka. The Company does not depend
on
revenues from sources internal to the countries in which the Company
operates; nevertheless, the Company is subject to certain adverse
economic
and political risks relating to overseas economies in general, such
as
inflation, currency fluctuations and regulatory
burdens.

In
April 2006, the Company’s subsidiary in Sri Lanka entered into a new
facility lease agreement, to replace its existing lease agreement,
which
expires September 2006. The new lease has an initial term of six
years
commencing October 1, 2006, with an option to renew for an additional
six
year term. In addition, the Company can terminate the lease at anytime
after the first three years of the lease term, upon giving four months’
advance notice.
|
Pursuant
to lease terms, advance rent paid by the Company, totaling approximately
$130,000 will be amortized over the six year term of the lease. Rental payments,
which approximate $10,800 per month during the first year, are subject to
increase at a rate of five percent per annum.

In
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the provision
for
income taxes is principally comprised of foreign income taxes attributable
to certain overseas subsidiaries which generated taxable income.
In
addition, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the
provision for income taxes includes a $90,000 provision for foreign
tax
assessments. However, the Company did not recognize a tax benefit
on U.S.
net operating losses generated during the periods.
|
In
the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, the benefit from
income taxes as a percentage of loss before income taxes was 26% which is lower
than the U.S. Federal statutory tax rate, principally due to losses attributable
to certain overseas subsidiaries for which no income tax benefit is available.
In
assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether
it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets
will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is
dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in
which temporary differences are deductible and net operating losses are
utilized. Based on a consideration of these factors, the Company has established
a valuation allowance of approximately $4.9 million and $1.1 million at
September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

$500,000 for the three and nine months, respectively, ended September
30,
2005
|
In
addition, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, selling and
administrative expenses were reduced by $246,000 received from a lessor as
compensation for vacating leased premises prior to the expiry of the stipulated
lease term

U.S.
Defined Contribution Pension Plan -The
Company has a defined contribution plan qualified under Section 401(k)
of
the Internal Revenue Code, pursuant to which substantially
all of its U.S. employees are eligible to participate after completing
six
months of service. Participants may elect to contribute a portion
of their
compensation to the plan. Under the plan, the Company has the discretion
to match a portion of participants’ contributions.
|
Non-U.S.
Pension benefits - Most
of
the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries provide for government mandated, defined
pension benefits. For certain of these subsidiaries, vested eligible employees
are provided a lump sum payment upon retiring from the Company at a defined
age.
The lump sum amount is based on the salary and tenure as of retirement date.
Other non-U.S subsidiaries provide for a lump sum payment to vested employees
on
retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, based upon
the
salary and tenure as of the date employment ceases.
The
net
periodic pension cost for the non U.S. defined pension plans, for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2006 (in thousands), consists of the

The
Company has a $5 million line of credit pursuant to which it may
borrow up
to 80% of eligible accounts receivable at the bank’s alternate base rate
plus ½% or LIBOR plus 3%. The line, which expires in May 2007, is secured
by the company’s accounts receivable. The Company has no outstanding
obligations under its credit line.

In
connection with the cessation of all operations at certain foreign
subsidiaries, certain former employees have filed various actions
against
one of the Company’s Philippine subsidiaries, and have purported to also
sue the Company and certain of its officers and directors, seeking
to
require reinstatement of employment and to recover back wages for
an
allegedly illegal facility closing on June 7, 2002 based on the terms
of a
collective bargaining agreement with this subsidiary. If the complainants’
claims have merit, they could be entitled to back wages of up to
$5.0
million for the period from June 7, 2002 to June 6, 2005, consistent
with
prevailing jurisprudence. Based upon consultation with legal counsel,
management believes the claims are without merit and is defending
against
them vigorously.

Pursuant
to an income tax audit by the Indian bureau of taxation, on March 27, 2006
one
of the Company’s Indian subsidiaries has received a tax assessment approximating
$350,000, including interest, for the fiscal tax year ended March 31, 2003.
Management disagrees with the basis of the tax assessment, and has filed an
appeal against the assessment, which it will fight vigorously. The Indian bureau
of taxation has also commenced an audit of the Company’s Indian subsidiary’s
income tax return for the fiscal tax year ended March 31, 2004. The ultimate
outcome cannot be determined at this time.
In
addition, the
Company’s U.S. federal income tax return for 2004 is currently undergoing audit
by the I.R.S. and the State of New Jersey is auditing its income and sales
tax
returns for various periods through 2006. The Company has no basis at this
time
for determining the amount of any potential tax adjustments that might result
from such audits.
Furthermore,
the Company is subject to various legal proceedings, tax audits and claims
which
arise in the ordinary course of business.
While
management currently believes that the ultimate outcome of all these proceedings
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or
overall trends in results of operations, litigation is subject to inherent
uncertainties. Were an unfavorable ruling to occur, there exists the possibility
of a material adverse impact on the operating results of the period in which
the
ruling occurs. In addition, the estimate of potential impact on the Company’s
financial position or overall results of operations for the above legal
proceedings could change in the future.

The
Company's production facilities are located in the Philippines, India
and
Sri Lanka. To the extent that the currencies of these countries fluctuate,
the Company is subject to risks of changing costs of production after
pricing is established for certain customer projects. However, most
significant contracts contain provisions for price
renegotiation.

On
April 26, 2006, the Company entered into a three year employment
agreement
with its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The agreement, which has an
effective date of February 1, 2006, provides for: annual base compensation
of $369,000 subject to cost of living adjustments and annual discretionary
increases as determined by the Company's Board of Directors; additional
cash incentive or bonus compensation for each calendar year determined
by
the compensation committee of the Board of Directors in its discretion
and
conditioned on the attainment of certain quantitative objectives
to be
established by the compensation committee with a target bonus of
not less
than 50% of base salary for the year; and equity-based incentive
compensation in such amounts as shall be determined by the compensation
committee, which, if granted, shall have an exercise price equal
to the
fair market value of the shares at the time of the grant. The agreement
also provides for insurance and other fringe benefits, and contains
confidentiality and non-compete and non-interference provisions.
In the
event the CEO is terminated without cause (as defined) or, if upon
expiration of the term of the agreement the Company does not offer
to
enter into a successor agreement on substantially similar terms,
the CEO
is entitled to receive payments in an amount equal to the greater
of (i)
his then base salary for 24 months or (ii) the number of months remaining
in the term of the agreement; the continuation of his health, life,
disability and non-qualified retirement plan benefits for the greater
of
(i) 24 months or (ii) the number of months remaining in the term
of the
agreement; twice the CEO’s then bonus target; and the removal of any
vesting, transfer, lock up, performance or other restrictions or
requirements on his stock options or other equity-based compensation.
In
the event the CEO resigns after the 6-month anniversary of a change
of
control (as defined), the CEO is entitled to receive severance payments
in
an amount equal to the greater of (i) his then base salary for 36
months
or (ii) the number of months remaining in the term of the agreement;
the
continuation of his health, life, disability and non-qualified retirement
plan benefits for the greater of (i) 36 months or (ii) the number
of
months remaining in the term of the agreement; three times his then
bonus
target; and the removal of any vesting, transfer, lock up, performance
or
other restrictions or requirements on his stock options or other
equity-based compensation. The agreement also provides for potential
tax
gross-up payments in respect of income taxes and penalties that may
be
imposed on the CEO under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code,
and in
respect of excise taxes and penalties that may be imposed on the
CEO under
Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue
Code.

An
executive vice president of the Company was provided a separation
agreement in connection with the termination of his employment with
the
Company effective as of May 26, 2006. Pursuant to the separation
agreement, the Company will continue to pay his base salary for a
period
of twelve months, as provided for in his employment agreement. Included
in
selling and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September
30, 2006 is accrued severance costs of approximately
$275,000.
|
17.
|
The
Company is obligated under certain circumstances to indemnify directors
and certain officers against costs and liabilities incurred in actions
or
threatened actions brought against such individual because such individual
acted in the capacity of director and/or officer of the Company.
In
addition, the Company has contracts with certain clients pursuant
to which
the Company has agreed to indemnify the client for certain specified
and
limited claims. These indemnification obligations are in the ordinary
course of business and, in many cases, do not include a limit on
maximum
potential future payments. As of September 30, 2006, the Company
has not
recorded liability for any obligations arising as a result of these
indemnifications.
|

|
As
part of an overall cost reduction plan to lower operating costs,
in
September 2006 the Company announced a worldwide workforce reduction
of
slightly under 300 employees, the majority of whom were based in
Asia.
Most employees were terminated prior to September 30, and the plan
is
expected to be fully implemented by the end of
2006.

Management
estimates that the total charges to earnings associated with the restructuring
plan approximates $730,000, of which approximately $520,000 represents severance
and related costs, $140,000 represents estimated costs to terminate a facility
lease at one of the company’s Asia based subsidiaries, and the balance
represents other costs to implement the restructuring activities. At this time,
the Company is negotiating an agreement to terminate this lease, and management
anticipates the associated cost to be approximately $140,000. As of September
30, 2006, $554,000 has been charged to earnings, of which $37,000 has been
accrued and is included under the caption “Accounts payable and accrued
expenses,” and $248,000 has been accrued under the caption “Accrued salaries,
wages and related benefits.” In addition, approximately $60,000 represents
a non-cash charge to restructuring costs.
In
connection with the restructuring, the Company, in the third quarter, paid
$209,000 in cash and recognized $60,000 in non-cash cost for the stock option
modification described below. Both these costs are principally severance
related. The Company expects to pay the balance of $461,000 during the
subsequent three quarters.

In
connection with the restructuring plan, the Company modified the expiration
date
of an option held by a departing officer to purchase 100,000 shares of the
Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.59. The option, which was
scheduled to expire at a rate of 20,000 shares per year commencing on May 31,
2009, was modified wherein 20,000 shares continue to expire on May 31, 2009,
20,000 shares continue to expire on May 31, 2010 and the remaining 60,000 shares
will also expire on May 31, 2010. The modification also provided that the option
will survive the termination of the officer’s employment with the Company. The
fair value of the modified option was estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing
model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected lives of two
and
one half years, risk free interest rate of 4.78%; expected volatility of 76%
and
a zero dividend rate.

In
July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48)
“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” which prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the
financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to
be taken
in a tax return. Furthermore, FIN 48 provides guidance on the recognition,
classification, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements
for uncertain tax positions. The accounting provisions of FIN 48

MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Disclosures
in this Form 10-Q contain certain forward-looking statements, including without
limitation, statements concerning our operations, economic performance, and
financial condition. These forward-looking statements are made pursuant to
the
safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
The words “estimate,” “believe,” “expect,” and “anticipate” and other similar
expressions generally identify forward-looking statements, which speak only
as
of their dates.
These
forward-looking statements are based largely on our current expectations, and
are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including without
limitation, continuing revenue concentration in a limited number of clients,
continuing reliance on project-based work, worsening of market conditions,
changes in external market factors, the ability and willingness of our clients
and prospective clients to execute business plans which give rise to
requirements for digital content and professional services in knowledge
processing, difficulty in integrating and deriving synergies from acquisitions,
potential undiscovered liabilities of companies that we acquire, changes in
our
business or growth strategy, the emergence of new or growing competitors,
various other competitive and technological factors, and other risks and
uncertainties indicated from time to time in our filings with the Securities
and
Exchange Commission.
Our
actual results could differ materially from the results referred to in the
forward-looking statements. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there
can
be no assurance that the results referred to in the forward-looking statements
contained in this release will occur.
We
undertake no obligation to update or review any guidance or other
forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future
developments or otherwise.
The
Company
Innodata
Isogen, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”), is a leading provider of
business services that help organizations create, manage, use and distribute
information more effectively and economically. The Company provides outsourced
content services and content-related information technology (IT) professional
services.
The
Company’s outsourced content services focus on fabrication services and
knowledge services. Fabrication services include digitization and data
conversion services, content creation and XML services. Knowledge services
include content enhancement, hyperlinking, indexing and general editorial
services.
The
Company’s IT professional services focus on the design, implementation,
integration and deployment of systems used to author, manage and distribute
content.
19
Outsourced
content services for business processes that we anticipate a client will require
for an indefinite period generate what we regard as recurring revenues.
Outsourced content services for a specific project generate revenues that we
regard as non-recurring. A substantial majority of our IT professional
services is provided on a project basis that generates non-recurring revenues.
We
have
experienced, and expect to continue to experience, significant fluctuations
in
our quarterly revenues and results of operations. While we seek, wherever
possible, to counterbalance periodic declines in revenues on completion of
large
projects with new arrangements to provide services to the same client or others,
we have at times been unable to avoid declines in revenues when large projects
are completed, and we may continue to encounter this difficulty in the future.
Our inability in any period to obtain sufficient new projects to counterbalance
any decreases in such work adversely affects our revenues and results of
operations for the period.
We
have
historically relied on a very limited number of clients that have accounted
for
a significant portion of our revenues. We may lose any of these or any of our
other major clients as a result of our failure to meet or satisfy our clients’
requirements; the completion, termination or reduction of a project or
engagement; or the selection of another service provider. Our revenues and
results of operations are adversely affected when these events
occur.
Our
services are typically subject to client requirements, and in many cases are
terminable by the client upon 30 to 90 days’ notice.
Other
factors, some of which are beyond our control, that may also affect our
quarterly results include the size, mix, timing and terms and conditions of
client projects; variations in the duration, size and scope of our projects
or
engagements; market acceptance of our clients’ new products and services; our
ability to manage costs; local factors and events that affect our production
volume, such as local holidays; unforeseen events, such as earthquakes, storms
and civil unrest; currency exchange fluctuations; changes in pricing policies
by
us or our competitors; the introduction of new services by us or our
competitors; and acquisition and integration costs related to possible
acquisitions of other businesses.
Our
production facilities are located in the Philippines, India and Sri Lanka.
To
the extent that the currencies of these countries fluctuate, we are subject
to
risks of changing costs of production after pricing is established for certain
customer projects. However, the majority of our contracts contain provisions
for
price adjustment.
Direct
operating costs for both our outsourced content services and IT professional
services consist of direct payroll, occupancy costs, depreciation,
telecommunications, computer services and supplies.
Selling
and administrative expenses for both our outsourced content services and IT
professional services consist of management and administrative salaries, selling
and marketing costs and administrative overhead.

Results
of Operations
Three
Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005
Revenues
Revenues
were $10.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared
to $9.6 million for the similar period in 2005, an increase of 8%.
Revenues
from outsourced content services increased 7% to $9.1 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2006 from $8.5 million for the similar period in
2005. The increase primarily reflects increased revenues from two major
projects.
Revenues
from IT professional services increased 18% to $1.3 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2006 from $1.1 million for the three months ended September
30, 2005. The increase primarily reflects higher revenues from certain customer
projects.
One
client accounted for 31% and 28% of our revenues in the three months ended
September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. A second client accounted for 11%
of
our revenues for the three month period ended September 30, 2006. No other
client accounted for 10% or more of our total revenues for these periods.
Revenues
from clients located in non-US countries (principally in Europe) accounted
for
38% of our total revenues in each of the three months ended September 30, 2006
and 2005.
For
the
three months ended September 30, 2006 approximately 61% of our revenue
was
recurring and 39% was non-recurring, compared with 62% and 38%, respectively,
for the three months ended September 30, 2005.
Direct
Operating Costs
Direct
operating costs were $8.9 million and $7.3 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, an increase of 22%.
Direct operating costs as a percentage of revenues for the three months ended
September 30, 2006 and 2005, were 85% and 75% respectively.
Direct
operating costs for outsourced content services were $7.9 million and $6.3
million in the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively,
an
increase of 25%. Direct operating costs of outsourced content services as a
percentage of revenues from outsourced content services were 87% and 74% for
the
three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase
in
direct operating costs of outsourced content services is principally
attributable to an increase in variable labor costs due to increased revenues,
increases in pay rates for both management and production personnel, growth
in
our engineering technology department and increases in various fixed expenses.
The increase in direct operating costs as a percentage of revenues principally
results from growth in our engineering technology department, increases in
pay
rates and rate increases on various fixed costs.
21
Direct
operating costs for IT professional services were $1.0 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. Direct operating costs of IT
professional services as a percentage of revenues from IT professional services
were 77% and 91% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively. The decrease in direct operating costs for IT professional
services as a percentage of revenues was primarily attributable to increased
revenues in 2006.
Selling
and Administrative Expenses
Selling
and administrative expenses were $3.3 million and $3.7 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, a decrease of
11%.
Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 32% and
38%
for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The
decrease primarily reflects a reduction in marketing programs. In
addition, we spent approximately $244,000 and $300,000 in new services research
and development in the three
months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.
Restructuring
Costs
As
part
of an overall cost reduction plan to lower operating costs, in September 2006
we
announced a worldwide workforce reduction of slightly under 300 employees,
the
majority of whom were based in Asia. Most employees were terminated prior to
September 30, and the plan is expected to be fully implemented by the end of
2006.
As
a
result, we estimate that
the
total charges to earnings associated with the restructuring plan approximates
$730,000, of which approximately $520,000 represents severance and related
costs, $140,000 represents estimated costs to terminate a facility lease at
one
of our Asia based subsidiaries, and the balance represents other costs to
implement the restructuring activities. At this time, we
are negotiating an agreement to terminate this lease, and management
anticipates the associated cost to be approximately $140,000. As of September
30, 2006, $554,000 has been charged to earnings, of which $37,000 has been
accrued and is included under the caption “Accounts payable and accrued
expenses,” and $248,000 has been accrued under the caption “Accrued salaries,
wages and related benefits.” In addition, approximately $60,000 represents
a non-cash charge to restructuring costs.
Provision
for (Benefit from) Income Taxes
In
the
three months ended September 30, 2006, the provision for income taxes is
principally comprised of foreign income taxes attributable to certain overseas
subsidiaries which generated taxable income. However, we did not recognize
a tax
benefit on U.S. net operating losses generated during the period.
In
the
three months ended September 30, 2005, the benefit from income taxes
as a percentage of loss before income taxes was 26% which is lower than the
U.S.
Federal statutory tax rate, principally due to losses attributable to certain
overseas subsidiaries for which no income tax benefit is available.
22
In
assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether
it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets
will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is
dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in
which temporary differences are deductible and net operating losses are
utilized. Based on a consideration of these factors, the Company has established
a valuation allowance of approximately $4.9 million and $1.1 million at
September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
Net
Loss / Income
We
recorded a net loss of $2.2 million in the three months ended September 30,
2006
compared with a net loss of approximately $875,000 in the comparable period
in
2005. The principal reasons for the increased loss in 2006 were increases in
direct operating costs and expenses and a $554,000 restructuring
charge.
Nine
Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005
Revenues
Revenues
were $30.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to
$30.9 million for the similar period in 2005, a decrease of 2%.
Revenues
from outsourced content services were $26.8 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.
Revenues
from IT professional services decreased 13% to $3.6 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 from $4.1 million for the similar period in
2005. The decline in revenues in 2006 primarily reflects lower value project
engagements from certain existing clients.
One
client accounted for 28% and 25% of our total revenues for the nine months
ended
September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Two clients accounted for 12% and
10%
of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, and one other client
accounted for 15% of our revenues for the same period in 2005. No other client
accounted for 10% or more of our total revenues for these periods.
For
the
nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, revenues from clients located
in
non-US countries (principally in Europe) accounted for 36% and 33%,
respectively, of our total revenues.
For
the
nine months ended September 30, 2006,
approximately 60% of our revenue was recurring and 40% was non-recurring,
compared with 59% and 41%, respectively, for the nine months ended September
30,
2005.
23
Direct
Operating Costs
Direct
operating costs were $25.7 million and $23.0 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, an increase of 12%.
Direct operating costs as a percentage of revenues for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 and 2005, were 85% and 74% respectively.
Direct
operating costs for outsourced content services were $22.8 million and $19.6
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively,
an
increase of 16%. Direct operating costs of outsourced content services as a
percentage of revenues from outsourced content services were 85% and 73% for
the
nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase in
direct operating costs of outsourced content services is principally
attributable to increases in pay rates for both management and production
personnel, growth in our engineering technology department and increases in
various fixed expenses.
Direct
operating costs for IT professional services were $2.9 million and
$3.4 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, a decrease
of 15%. Direct operating costs of IT professional services as a percentage
of
revenues from IT professional services were 81% and 83% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The decrease in direct
operating costs of IT professional services for the 2006 period was principally
due to a reduction in personnel.
Selling
and Administrative Expenses
Selling
and administrative expenses were $10.9 million and $9.8 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, an increase of
11%.
Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 36% and
32%
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Included
as
a reduction of selling and administrative expenses in 2006 is approximately
$246,000 received as an inducement to terminate our Dallas office lease prior
to
its contractual expiration date. Selling
and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 also
includes accrued severance costs of approximately $275,000 related to the
termination of an executive’s employment. In addition, in the 2006 period,
we
spent
approximately $800,000 in new services research and development compared to
$500,000 in the comparable 2005 period.
The
remainder of the increase is comprised of various increases in both selling
and
administrative costs.
Restructuring
Costs
As
part
of an overall cost reduction plan to lower operating costs, in September 2006
we
announced a worldwide workforce reduction of slightly under 300 employees,
the
majority of whom were based in Asia. Most employees were terminated prior to
September 30, and the plan is expected to be fully implemented by the end of
2006.
24
As
a
result, we estimate that
the
total charges to earnings associated with the restructuring plan approximates
$730,000, of which approximately $520,000 represents severance and related
costs, $140,000 represents estimated costs to terminate a facility lease at
one
of our Asia based subsidiaries, and the balance represents other costs to
implement the restructuring activities. At this time, we
are negotiating an agreement to terminate this lease, and management
anticipates the associated cost to be approximately $140,000. As of September
30, 2006, $554,000 has been charged to earnings, of which $37,000 has been
accrued and is included under the caption “Accounts payable and accrued
expenses,” and $248,000 has been accrued under the caption “Accrued salaries,
wages and related benefits.” In addition, approximately $60,000 represents
a non-cash charge to restructuring costs.
Provision
for (Benefit from) Income Taxes
In
the
nine months ended September 30, 2006, our provision for income taxes was
principally comprised of foreign income taxes attributable to certain of our
overseas subsidiaries which generated taxable income, and to a $90,000 provision
for foreign tax assessments. However, we did not recognize a tax benefit on
U.S.
net operating losses generated during the period.
In
the
nine months ended September 30, 2005, our benefit from income taxes as a
percentage of loss before income taxes was 26% which is lower than the U.S.
Federal statutory tax rate, principally due to losses attributable to certain
of
our overseas subsidiaries for which no income tax benefit is available.
In
assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is
more
likely than not that all or some portion of our deferred tax assets will not
be
realized. Our ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent
upon
our generating future taxable income during the periods in which temporary
differences are deductible and net operating losses are utilized. Based on
a
consideration of these factors, we have established a valuation allowance of
approximately $4.9 million at September 30, 2006.
Net
Loss
We
recorded a net loss of $6.5 million in the nine months ended September 30,
2006
compared with a net loss of approximately $1.1 million in the comparable period
in 2005. The principal reasons for the increased loss in 2006 were increases
in
operating costs and expenses and a $554,000 restructuring charge.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Net
Cash (Used In) Provided By Operating Activities
Net
cash
used in operating activities was $2.1 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 compared to $1.9 million provided by operating
activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, a decrease of
approximately $4.0 million. The $4.0 million decrease in net cash
provided by operating activities is principally due to a $5.4 million
reduction in net income, offset by a $1.4 million change in other net operating
assets and liabilities.
25
Accounts
receivable totaled approximately $6.0 million at September 30, 2006,
representing approximately 51 days of sales outstanding compared to
$7.2 million, or 55 days, at December 31, 2005.
A
significant amount of the Company’s revenues are derived from clients in the
publishing industry. Accordingly, the Company’s accounts receivable generally
include significant amounts due from such clients. In addition, as of
September 30,
2006,
approximately 31% of the Company’s accounts receivable was from foreign
(principally European) clients, and 47% of accounts receivable was due from
three clients.
Net
Cash Used in Investing Activities
For
the
nine months ended September 30, 2006, we spent cash approximating $2.1
million for capital expenditures, compared to approximately $1.4 million for
the
nine months ended September 30, 2005. Capital spending in 2006 related
principally to normal ongoing equipment upgrades, office improvements, and
to
the relocation of one of our Asian facilities. Capital spending in the nine
months ended September 30, 2005 related principally to normal ongoing
equipment upgrades and improvements in infrastructure. Furthermore, during
the
nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, we financed the
purchase of software licenses totaling approximately $164,000 and $488,000,
respectively. During the next twelve months, we anticipate that capital
expenditures for ongoing technology, hardware, equipment and infrastructure
upgrades will approximate $3.0 to $4.0 million, a portion of which we may
finance. In addition, in the next twelve months, we anticipate spending between
$500,000 to 600,000 on the relocation of two of our Asian facilities. Such
anticipated expenditures are in addition to potential capital expenditures
for
new services offerings.
Net
Cash (Used In) Provided by Financing Activities
Proceeds
from the exercise of stock options provided cash approximating $356,000 and
$799,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
In
addition, payments of long-term obligations approximated $586,000 and $525,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The
increase is principally due to payments on financing of certain software
licenses, which we commenced during the second quarter of 2005.
In
August, 2006, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1.0
million of its common stock of which approximately $702,000 remains available
for repurchase under the program as of September 30, 2006.
During
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 we repurchased 170,962 shares
of our common stock at a cost of $298,000.
26
Availability
of Funds
We
have a
$5.0 million line of credit pursuant to which we may borrow up to 80% of
eligible accounts receivable at the bank’s alternate base rate plus ½% or LIBOR
plus 3%. The line is secured by our accounts receivable. There are no amounts
outstanding under this facility. The line currently expires on May 31,
2007.
We
believe that existing cash and internally generated funds will be sufficient
for
our reasonably anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements
during the next 12 months. We fund our foreign expenditures from our U.S.
corporate headquarters on an as-needed basis.
Inflation,
Seasonality and Prevailing Economic Conditions
To
date,
inflation has not had a significant impact on our operations. We generally
perform work for our clients under project-specific contracts,
requirements-based contracts or long-term contracts. Contracts are typically
subject to various termination provisions.
Our
quarterly operating results are also subject to seasonal fluctuations. Our
fourth and first quarters include the months of December and January, when
billable services activity by professional staff, as well as engagement
decisions by clients, may be reduced due to client budget planning cycles.
In
addition, demand for our services may be lower in the fourth quarter due to
reduced activity during the holiday season and fewer working days during this
period.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Basis
of Presentation and Use of Estimates
Management’s
discussion and analysis of its results of operations and financial condition
is
based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared
in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those
related to accounts receivable. Management 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 under different assumptions or conditions.
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
We
establish credit terms for new clients based upon management’s review of their
credit information and project terms, and perform ongoing credit evaluations
of
our customers, adjusting credit terms when management believes appropriate
based
upon payment history and an assessment of their current credit worthiness.
We
record an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from
the inability of our clients to make required payments. We determine this
allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time
trade
accounts receivable are past due, our previous loss history, our estimate of
the
client’s current ability to pay its obligation to us, and the condition of the
general economy and the industry as a whole. While credit losses have generally
been within expectations and the provisions established, we cannot guarantee
that credit loss rates in the future will be consistent with those experienced
in the past. In addition, we have credit exposure if the financial condition
of
one of our major clients were to deteriorate. In the event that the financial
condition of our clients were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of
their ability to make payments, additional allowances might be necessary.
27
Revenue
Recognition
We
recognize revenue for content manufacturing and outsourcing services in the
period in which we perform services and deliver in accordance with Staff
Accounting Bulletin 104.
We
recognize IT professional services revenue from custom application and systems
integration development which requires significant production, modification
or
customization of software in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”)
No. 97-2 “Software
Revenue Recognition”
and in a
manner similar to SOP No. 81-1 “Accounting
for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type
Contracts”.
We
recognize revenue for such services billed under fixed fee arrangements in
a
manner similar to the percentage-of-completion method under contract accounting
as we perform services or reach output milestones. We measure the percentage
completed either by the percentage of labor hours incurred to date in relation
to estimated total labor hours or in consideration of achievement of certain
output milestones, depending on the specific nature of each contract. For
arrangements in which percentage-of completion accounting is used, we record
cash receipts from customers and billed amounts due from customers in excess
of
recognized revenue as billings in excess of revenues earned on contracts in
progress (which is included in accounts receivable), and we record revenues
recognized in excess cash receipts and billed amounts due from customers as
revenues earned in excess of billings (which is included in accounts payable
and
accrued expenses). Revenues from fixed-fee projects accounted for less than
10%
of our total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006
and 2005, respectively. We recognize revenue billed on a time and materials
basis as we perform the services.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated on the straight-line method
over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets, which is generally two to five
years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the
shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lives of the leases.
Long-lived
Assets
We
account for long lived assets under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(“SFAS”) 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets. We
assess the recoverability of our long-lived assets, which consists primarily
of
fixed assets and intangible assets with finite useful lives, whenever events
or
changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
The following factors, if present, may trigger an impairment review:
(i) significant underperformance relative to
expected historical or projected future operating
results; (ii) significant negative industry or economic
trends; (iii) significant decline in our stock price for a
sustained period; and (iv) a change in our
market capitalization relative to net book value. If the recoverability of
these
assets is unlikely because of the existence of one or more
of the above-mentioned factors, we perform an impairment analysis using a
projected discounted cash flow method. We must make assumptions
regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair
value of these respective assets. If these estimates or related assumptions
change in the future, we may be required to record an impairment charge.
Impairment charges would be included in general and administrative expenses
in
our statements of operations, and would result in reduced carrying amounts
of
the related assets on our balance sheets.
28
Income
Taxes
We
determine our deferred taxes based on the difference between the financial
statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates,
as
well as any net operating loss or tax credit carryforwards expected to reduce
taxes payable in future years. We provide a valuation allowance when it is
more
likely than not that some or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries have been included in the
consolidated financial statements without giving effect to the United States
taxes that may be payable on distribution to the United States to the extent
such earnings are not anticipated to be remitted to the United States.
Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets
SFAS
142
requires that we test goodwill for impairment using a two-step fair value based
test. The first step of the annual goodwill impairment test, used to identify
potential impairment, compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its
carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting
unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test
must be performed to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. If
impairment is determined, we will recognize additional charges to operating
expenses in the period in which they are identified, which would result in
a
reduction of operating results and a reduction in the amount of goodwill.
Restructuring
Costs
As
part
of an overall cost reduction plan to reduce operating costs, in September 2006,
we announced a worldwide workforce reduction of slightly under 300 employees,
the majority of whom were based in Asia. Most employees were terminated prior
to
September 30, and the plan is expected to be fully implemented by the end of
2006. As a result, we estimate that the total charges to earnings associated
with the restructuring plan approximates $730,000, of which approximately
$520,000 represents severance and related costs, $140,000 represents estimated
costs to terminate a facility lease at one of the Asia based subsidiaries,
and
the balance represents other costs to implement the restructuring
activities.

Significant
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In
July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48)
“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” which prescribes a recognition
threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements
uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
Furthermore, FIN 48 provides guidance on the recognition, classification,
accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax
positions. The accounting provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2006. We are in the process of determining the
effect of FIN 48, if any, on our financial statements
In
September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108) “Considering the Effects of Prior Year
Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB 108 provides guidance
on quantifying financial statement misstatements, including the effects of
prior
year errors on current year financial statements. SAB 108 is effective for
periods ending after November 15, 2006. We are in the process of
determining the effect of SAB 108 if any, on our financial
statements.

3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk
We
are
exposed to interest rate change market risk with respect to our credit line
with
a financial institution which is priced based on the bank’s alternate base rate
(8.25% at September 30, 2006) plus ½% or LIBOR (5.375% at
September 30, 2006) plus 3%. We have no outstanding obligations under our
credit line. To the extent we utilize all or a portion of this line of credit,
changes in the interest rate will have a positive or negative effect on our
interest expense.
We
have
operations in foreign countries. While we are exposed to foreign currency
fluctuations, we presently have no financial instruments in foreign currency
and
do not maintain significant funds in foreign currency beyond those necessary
for
operations.
Item
4. Controls and Procedures
An
evaluation has been carried out under the supervision and with the participation
of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and the operation of our “disclosure
controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of September 30,
2006
(“Evaluation Date”). Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the
disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably designed and effective to
ensure that (i) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we
file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and
forms, and (ii) 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
disclosure.
There
were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting in connection
with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under
the Exchange Act that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that materially
affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the internal controls
over financial reporting.
