ISOGEN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NINE
MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 AND 2006
(Unaudited)
1. DESCRIPTION
OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description
of Business-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
content-related business process outsourcing (BPO) services and content-related
information technology (IT) professional services. The Company’s content-related
BPO 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 content-related IT
professional services focus on the design, implementation, integration and
deployment of systems used to author, manage and distribute content.
Basis
of Presentation-Consolidated
financial statements for the interim periods included herein are unaudited;
however, they contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
accruals) which in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly
the consolidated financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2007,
the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the three and nine months
ended
September 30, 2007 and 2006. The results of operations for the interim periods
are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other
interim period or for the full year.
Principles
of Consolidation-The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Innodata Isogen,
Inc.
and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Use
of Estimates-In
preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required
to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date
of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates include deferred taxes and related valuation allowances,
allowances for bad debts and billing adjustments, cash flows used in impairment
analysis of long-lived assets, litigation accruals, post retirement benefits,
and estimated accruals for various tax exposures.
These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2006 included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K. Unless otherwise noted, the accounting policies
used
in preparing these financial statements are the same as those described in
the
December 31, 2006 financial statements.
8
Foreign
Currency-The
functional currency for the Company’s production operations located in the
Philippines, India and Sri Lanka is U.S. dollars. As such, transactions
denominated in Philippine pesos, Indian and Sri Lanka rupees were translated
to
U.S. dollars at rates which approximate those in effect on transaction dates.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at September
30, 2007 and 2006 were translated at the exchange rate in effect as of those
dates. Exchange gains and (losses) resulting from such transactions were
($89,000) and $90,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively, and ($291,000) and ($46,000) in the nine months ended September
30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Cash
Equivalents-For
financial statement purposes (including cash flows), the Company considers
all
highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
2. GOODWILL
AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill
represents the excess purchase price paid over the fair value of net assets
acquired. Effective July 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142,
“Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Under SFAS 142, the Company tests
its goodwill on an annual basis using a two-step fair value based test.
The first step of the 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, the Company 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.
The
Company performed the preliminary annual impairment test on September 30,
2007. The estimated fair values of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying
amount, including goodwill. Furthermore, the Company is in the process of
realigning resources, revenues and cost structures for IT Professional Services
and new BPO service offerings in 2008. The Company will continue to monitor
the
effect on goodwill in the succeeding quarters and record potential adjustment
if
such occurs.
3. LONG
TERM
OBLIGATIONS
In
2007,
the Company financed the acquisition of certain computer and communications
equipment approximating $819,000. The capital lease obligations bear interest
ranging from 6% to 10% and are payable over two to five years.
The
cost
of equipment under capital leases is included in the balance sheets as property,
plant, and equipment and was $1,526,000 and $707,000 at September 30, 2007
and
December 31, 2006, respectively. Accumulated amortization of the leased
equipment at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, was approximately
$760,000 and $671,000, respectively. Amortization of assets under capital leases
is included under depreciation expense.

4. COMPREHENSIVE
INCOME / LOSS
Other
comprehensive losses for the three months and nine months ended September 30,
2007 amounted to $60,000 and $24,000, respectively, and are principally due
to
changes in the transitional project benefit obligation under SFAS 158 Employers'
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. Total
comprehensive income after considering the impact of these adjustments were
$2,055,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and $2,310,000 for
the
nine months ended September 30, 2007.
5. INCOME
TAXES
The
provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2007 and 2006 principally represents foreign taxes.
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 $4,293,000 and $4,269,000, at September
30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
10
The
Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation
No. 48 (“FIN 48”) “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” on
January 1, 2007. FIN 48 requires companies to determine whether it is “more
likely than not” that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the
appropriate taxing authorities before any tax benefit can be recorded in the
financial statements. It also provides guidance on the recognition, measurement,
classification and disclosure in the financial statements for uncertain tax
positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. No cumulative effect
of
a change in accounting principle or adjustment to the liability for unrecognized
tax benefits was recognized as a result of the adoption of FIN 48. Accordingly,
the adoption of FIN 48 did not have an effect on the results of operations
or
financial position of the Company.
The
Company is subject to US federal income tax as well as income tax in various
states and foreign jurisdictions. In the third quarter of 2007, the IRS
completed the audit of the Company’s 2004 and 2005 income tax returns, which
resulted in a decrease to the Company’s net operating loss carryforward of
approximately $70,000.
The
Company is no longer subject to examination of federal and New Jersey taxing
authorities for years prior to 2006.
Various
foreign subsidiaries currently have open tax years ranging from 2003 through
2006.
Pursuant
to an income tax audit by the Indian bureau of taxation, on March 27, 2006,
one
of the Company’s Indian subsidiaries received a tax assessment approximating
$399,000, including interest through September 30, 2007, 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 completed an audit of the
Company’s Indian subsidiary’s income tax return for the fiscal tax year ended
March 31, 2004. The ultimate outcome was favorable, and there was no
tax assessment imposed for the fiscal tax year ended March 31, 2004.
On March 20, 2007, the Indian bureau of taxation commenced an audit of
the subsidiary’s income tax return for the fiscal year ended 2005. The ultimate
outcome cannot be determined at this time.
The
liability for net unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2007 and
December 31, 2006 was approximately $443,000 and $481,000,
respectively. This liability represents an accrual relating to uncertain income
tax positions the Company has taken on its domestic and foreign tax returns.
The
Company reports interest expense and penalties related to income tax liabilities
as a component of its provision for income taxes. As of September 30, 2007
and
December 31, 2006, the Company had accrued a liability for interest and
penalties totaling approximately $143,000 and $138,000,
respectively.
11
Furthermore
the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $176,000 and $167,000 as of
September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, which, if recognized,
would increase the Company’s net operating loss carryforward. Such increase, if
recognized, would not have an impact on the Company’s effective tax rate since
the increase to its deferred tax assets would result in a corresponding increase
to its valuation allowance.
The
following presents a roll forward of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits and
associated interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 (amounts in

As
a
result of the IRS audit settlement mentioned above, the Company recognized
approximately $234,000 of previously unrecognized tax benefits in the third
quarter of 2007. The table above also reflects an additional $208,000 of
unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions. The
Company is subject to various tax audits and claims which arise in the ordinary
course of business. Management currently believes that the ultimate
outcome of these audits and claims will not have a material adverse effect
on
the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
6. COMMITMENTS
AND
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Line
of Credit-The
Company has an uncommitted line of credit of $5 million which expires on
May 31, 2008. Under the terms of the agreement any amounts drawn against this
facility must be secured by a certificate of deposit of an equal amount.
Additionally, any amounts drawn will bear interest at the bank’s alternate base
rate plus ½% or LIBOR plus 3%. The Company has no outstanding obligations under
this credit line.
Litigation
-
In
connection with the cessation of operations in 2002 at certain Philippine
subsidiaries, and the failure in 2001 to arrive at agreeable terms for a
collective bargaining agreement with one of these subsidiaries, certain former
employees and the Innodata Employee Association (IDEA) filed various actions
against subsidiaries of Innodata Isogen, Inc., and also purportedly against
Innodata Isogen, Inc. and certain of the Company’s officers and directors. The
Supreme Court of the Philippines has refused to review a decision in these
actions by a lower appellate court against one of these subsidiaries in the
Philippines that is inactive and has no material assets, and purportedly also
against Innodata Isogen, Inc., that orders the reinstatement of certain former
employees to their former positions and payment of back wages and benefits
that
aggregate approximately $6.5 million. The Philippine subsidiary has filed a
motion with the Supreme Court to reconsider the refusal of the Supreme Court
to
review the decision of the lower appellate court. All other Company affiliates
were found by the lower appellate court to have no liability. Based on
consultation with legal counsel, the Company believes that should the order
of
the lower appellate court be upheld, recovery against Innodata Isogen, Inc.
would nevertheless be unlikely.
12
The
Company is also subject to various legal proceedings and claims which arise
in
the ordinary course of business.
While
management currently believes that the ultimate outcome of 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. Substantial recovery against the Company in the above referenced
Philippines actions could have a material adverse impact on the Company, and
unfavorable rulings or recoveries in the other proceedings could have a material
adverse impact on the operating results of the period in which the ruling or
recovery occurs. In addition, the Company’s 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.
7. EMPLOYMENT
AGREEMENTS
On
May
18, 2007, the Company entered into a three year agreement with its Chief
Operating Officer (“COO”) whereby the Company agreed to cause two of its
subsidiaries to employ the COO. The agreement, which has an effective date
of
January 1, 2007, provides for annual base compensation of $175,000 subject
to
annual reviews for discretionary annual increases by the Company; incentive
compensation pursuant to an incentive compensation plan; and a signing bonus
of
$30,000. The agreement also provides for insurance and other fringe benefits,
and contains confidentiality, non-compete and non-interference provisions.
In
the event the Company terminates the agreement without cause, the COO is
entitled to receive his then base salary for 12 months following the date of
termination.
8. RESTRUCTURING
COST
As
part
of an
overall
cost reduction plan to reduce 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 of these employees were terminated
prior to September 30, and the plan was complete as of June 30,
2007.
As
of
December 31, 2006, accrued expenses included approximately $102,000 related
to
restructuring costs charged in 2006. During the nine months ended September
30,
2007, the Company paid severance costs totaling $102,000.

The
fair
value of options at date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing
model with the following weighted average assumptions for options granted in
the
nine months ended September 30, 2007: eight years; risk free interest rate
of
4.61%; expected volatility of 123% and a zero dividend rate. The weighted
average grant date fair value of options granted in 2007 was $2.98. No options
were granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

The
total
compensation cost related to non-vested stock options not yet recognized as
of
September 30, 2007 totaled approximately $254,000. The weighted-average period
over which these costs will be recognized is thirty-five months.
The
total
intrinsic
value of
options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and September
30, 2006 was $3,702,000 and $1,131,000 respectively. The total grant date fair
value of stock options vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2007
was $109,000.
On
September 12, 2007, the Company’s Chairman and CEO (the “CEO”) exercised
1,139,160 stock options at a total exercise price of $882,844. The CEO paid
the
exercise price by surrendering to the Company 229,310 of the shares of common
stock he would have otherwise received on the option exercise. In addition,
the
CEO surrendered 395,695 shares to the Company in consideration of the payment
by
the Company on his behalf of $1,523,426 of the Company’s minimum withholding tax
requirement payable in respect of the option exercise. Because the payment
value
attributable to the surrendered shares upon settlement does not exceed the
fair
value of the option, no compensation cost was recognized at the date of
settlement. In connection with this transaction, the Company issued a net total
of 514,155 shares of common stock to the CEO.
10. SEGMENT
REPORTING AND CONCENTRATIONS
The
Company’s
operations are classified into two reporting segments: (1) content-related
BPO
services and (2) content-related IT professional services. The content-related
BPO 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 content-related
IT
professional services segment focuses on the design, implementation, integration
and deployment of systems used to author, manage and distribute content. The
Company’s content-related BPO 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.

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 665,000 and 2.9 million shares of
common stock in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively,
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 834,000
potential common shares derived from stock options for the three months and
nine
months ended September 30, 2006, respectively,
because
as a result of the Company incurring losses, their effect would have been
antidilutive.
There
is
no effect of antidilutive shares on income per share for the three months
ended September 30, 2007.

12. SIGNIFICANT
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET ADOPTED
In
February
2007,
FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 159, The
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including
an
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to
choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 159 on
its
financial statements.
In
September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS
157”).
FAS
157 establishes a common definition for fair value under accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), establishes a
framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements about
such fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of
adopting SFAS 157 on its financial statements.

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
content-related business process outsourcing (BPO) services and content-related
information technology (IT) professional services.
The
Company’s content-related BPO 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 content-related IT professional services focus on the design,
implementation, integration and deployment of systems used to author, manage
and
distribute content.
Services
for business processes that we anticipate a client will require for an
indefinite period generate what we regard as recurring revenues. Services for
a
specific project generate revenues that we regard as non-recurring.
19
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
an annual price adjustment.
Direct
operating costs for both our content-related BPO services and content-related
IT
professional services consist of direct payroll, occupancy costs, depreciation,
telecommunications, computer services and supplies.
Selling
and administrative expenses for both our content-related BPO services and
content-related IT professional services consist of management and
administrative salaries, selling and marketing costs and administrative
overhead.
20
Results
of Operations
Three
Months Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006
Revenues
Revenues
were $18.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to
$10.4 million for the similar period in 2006, an increase of
74%.
Revenues
from content-related BPO services increased 90% to $17.3 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2007 from $9.1 million for the similar period in
2006. The $8.2 million increase in revenues, which is principally
attributable to one customer, reflects a $3.9 million increase from recurring
revenue and $4.3 million from non-recurring project revenue. Furthermore,
more than 59% of the total revenue increase is attributable to knowledge
services.
Revenues
from content-related IT professional services decreased 40% to $784,000 for
the
three months ended September 30, 2007, from $1.3 million for the similar period
in 2006. Although there were revenues derived from new projects that started
during the second quarter of 2007, there were also decreases due to the
completion in 2007 of several IT professional services
projects.
One
client accounted for 36% of our total revenues for the three months ended
September 30, 2007. A second client accounted for 17% and 31% of our total
revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
A
third 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. Further, for the three months ended September 30,
2007 and 2006, revenues from clients located in foreign countries (principally
in Europe) accounted for 23% and 38% respectively, of our total
revenues.
For
the
three months ended September 30, 2007, approximately 56% of our
revenue
was
recurring and 44% was non-recurring, compared with 61% and 39%, respectively,
for the three months ended September 30, 2006. All recurring revenues are from
content-related
BPO services segment.
Direct
Operating Costs
Direct
operating costs were $12.5 million and $8.9 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, an increase of 40%.
Direct operating costs as a percentage of revenues for the three months ended
September 30, 2007 and 2006, were 69% and 85% respectively.
Direct
operating costs for content-related BPO services were $11.5 million and
$7.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively, an increase of 46%. Direct operating costs of content-related
BPO
services as a percentage of revenues from content related BPO services were
66%
and 87% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The increase in direct operating costs of content-related BPO services was
principally attributable to increases in variable labor and other operating
costs in support of higher revenue volume. The direct
operating expenses as a percentage of revenues for our content-related
BPO services
segment were lower in the three months ended September
30, 2007,
than in
the comparable 2006 period, principally due to decreased variable costs as
a
percent of revenues, and increased operating leverage resulting from the
increase in revenues with no significant increase in fixed costs. These
favorable results were offset in part by an $800,000 increase in direct
operating costs resulting from a weakened US dollar against the Philippine
peso
and Indian rupee.
21
Direct
operating costs for content-related IT professional services were $1.0 million
for each of the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. Direct operating
costs for content-related IT professional services as a percentage of revenues
from content-related IT professional services were 128% and 77% for the three
months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in direct
operating costs of content-related IT professional services as a percentage
of
revenues was primarily attributable to decreased revenues from two projects
completed in May 2007, and not replaced, without any corresponding decrease
in
fixed costs.
Selling
and Administrative Expenses
Selling
and administrative expenses were $3.6 million and $3.3 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Selling and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 20% and 32% for the
three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Included in
selling and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30,
2006 are costs of approximately $244,000 spent on research and development
for
new services. The
increase in selling and administrative expenses principally reflects increased
sales and administrative payroll and payroll related costs associated with
annual salary increases and increased professional fees, including fees
associated with Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act incurred in the three
months ended September 30, 2007.
Provision
for Income Taxes
The
provision for income taxes in the three months ended September
30, 2007 and
2006
was principally comprised of foreign income taxes attributable to certain
overseas subsidiaries which generated taxable income.
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 $4.3 million at September 30, 2007.
Pursuant
to an income tax audit by the Indian bureau of taxation, on March 27, 2006,
one
of our Indian subsidiaries received a tax assessment approximating $399,000,
including interest through September 30, 2007, for the fiscal tax year ended
March 31, 2003. We disagree with the basis of the tax assessment, and
have filed an appeal against the assessment, which we will fight vigorously.
The
Indian bureau of taxation has also completed an audit of our Indian subsidiary’s
income tax return for the fiscal tax year ended March 31, 2004. The
ultimate outcome was favorable, and there was no tax assessment imposed for
the
fiscal tax year ended March 31, 2004. On March 20, 2007, the
Indian bureau of taxation commenced an audit of our subsidiary’s income tax
return for the fiscal year ended 2005. We cannot determine the ultimate outcome
at this time.
22
In
addition we are subject to various tax audits and claims which arise in the
ordinary course of business. We currently believe that the ultimate outcome
of
these audits and claims will not have a material adverse effect on our financial
position or results of operations.
As
a
result of the IRS audit settlement mentioned above, we recognized approximately
$234,000 of previously unrecognized tax benefits in the third quarter of
2007. An additional $208,000 of unrecognized tax benefits relating to
uncertain income tax positions was provided in the third quarter of 2007.
We are subject to various tax audits and claims which arise in the ordinary
course of business. Management currently believes that the ultimate
outcome of these audits and claims will not have a material adverse effect
on
our financial position or results of operations.
Our
liability for net unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2007 and
December 31, 2006 was approximately $443,000 and $481,000,
respectively. This liability represents an accrual relating to uncertain income
tax positions we have taken on our domestic and foreign tax returns. We report
interest expense and penalties related to income tax liabilities as a component
of our provision for income taxes. As of September 30, 2007 and December 31,
2006, we had accrued a liability for interest and penalties totaling
approximately $143,000 and $138,000, respectively.
Furthermore
we had unrecognized tax benefits of $176,000 and $167,000 as of September 30,
2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, which, if recognized, would increase
our net operating loss carryforward. This increase, if recognized, would not
have an impact on our effective tax rate since the increase to our deferred
tax
assets would result in a corresponding increase to our valuation
allowance.
Net
Income / Loss
We
recorded a net profit of $2.1 million in the three months ended September 30,
2007 compared with a net loss of approximately $2.2 million in the comparable
period in 2006. The change was principally attributable to the increase in
gross
margin resulting from increased revenues.

Results
of Operations
Nine
Months Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006
Revenues
Revenues
were $47.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to
$30.4 million for the similar period in 2006, an increase of 55%.
Revenues
from content-related BPO services increased 65% to $44.3 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2007 from $26.8 million for the similar period in
2006. The $17.5 million increase in revenues, which is principally
attributable to one customer, reflects an $11 million increase from recurring
revenue and $6.5 million from non-recurring project revenue. Furthermore,
more than 60% of the total revenue increase is attributable to knowledge
services.
Revenues
from content-related IT professional services decreased by 19%, to $2.9 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, from $3.6 million for the similar
period in 2006. Although there were revenues derived from new projects that
started during the second quarter of 2007, there were also decreases due to
the
completion in 2007 of several IT professional services
projects.
One
client accounted for 30% of our total revenues for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007. Another client accounted for 17% and 28% of our total
revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Two other clients accounted for 12% and 10% of our revenue for the nine months
ended September 30, 2006. No other client accounted for 10% or more of our
total
revenues for these periods. Further, for each of the nine months ended September
30, 2007 and 2006, revenues to non-US clients accounted for 23% and 36%
respectively, of the Company's revenues.
For
the
nine months ended September 30, 2007, approximately 62% of our
revenue
was
recurring and 38% was non-recurring, compared with 60% and 40%, respectively,
for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006.
All
recurring revenues are from content-related
BPO services segment.
Direct
Operating Costs
Direct
operating costs were $34.5 million and $25.7 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, an increase of 34%. Direct operating
costs as a percentage of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2007
and 2006, were 73% and 85% respectively.
Direct
operating costs for content-related BPO services were $30.7 million and $22.8
million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively,
an
increase of 35%. Direct operating costs of content-related BPO services as
a
percentage of revenues from content related BPO services were 69% and 85% for
the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase
in
direct operating costs of content-related BPO services was principally
attributable to increases in variable labor and other operating costs in support
of higher revenue volume. The direct
operating expenses as a percentage of revenues for our content-related
BPO services
segment were lower in the nine
months ended September 30, 2007 than
in
the comparable 2006 period, principally due to decreased variable costs as
a
percent of revenues, and increased operating leverage resulting from the
increase in revenues with no significant increase in fixed costs. These
favorable results were offset in part by a $1.7 million increase in direct
operating costs resulting from a weakened US dollar against the Philippine
peso
and Indian rupee.
24
Direct
operating costs for content-related IT professional services were
$3.8 million and $2.9 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, an increase
of 31%. Direct operating costs for content-related IT professional services
as a
percentage of revenues from content-related IT professional services were 131%
and 81% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The
increase in direct operating costs of content-related IT professional services
as a percentage of revenues was primarily attributable to decreased revenues
brought about by two projects completed in the second quarter of 2007 and not
replaced, without any corresponding decrease in fixed costs.
Selling
and Administrative Expenses
Selling
and administrative expenses were $10.5 million and $10.9 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, a decrease of
4%.
Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 22% and
36%
for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The lower
percentage reflects sustained operating cost levels on a higher revenue
base.
Selling
and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006
includes approximately $246,000 received as an inducement to terminate our
Dallas office lease prior to its contractual expiration date, accrued severance
costs of approximately $275,000 related to the termination of an executive’s
employment and approximately
$800,000 on research and development for new services. After excluding the
effect of these non-recurring adjustments, the resulting increase in selling
and
administrative expenses principally reflects increased sales and administrative
payroll and payroll related costs associated with annual salary increases and
increased professional fees, including fees associated with Section 404 of
the
Sarbanes Oxley Act, incurred in the nine months ended September 30,
2007.
Provision

The
provision for income taxes in the nine months ended September
30, 2007 and
2006
was principally comprised of foreign income taxes attributable to certain
overseas subsidiaries which generated taxable income.

one
of our Indian subsidiaries received a tax assessment approximating $399,000,
including interest through September 30, 2007, for the fiscal tax year ended
March 31, 2003. We disagree with the basis of the tax assessment, and
have filed an appeal against the assessment, which we will fight vigorously.
The
Indian bureau of taxation has also completed an audit of our Indian subsidiary’s
income tax return for the fiscal tax year ended March 31, 2004. The
ultimate outcome was favorable, and there was no tax assessment imposed for
the
fiscal tax year ended March 31, 2004. On March 20, 2007, the
Indian bureau of taxation commenced an audit of our subsidiary’s income tax
return for the fiscal year ended 2005. We cannot determine the ultimate outcome
at this time.
In
addition we are subject to various tax audits and claims which arise in the
ordinary course of business. We currently believe that the ultimate outcome
of
these audits and claims will not have a material adverse effect on our financial
position or results of operations.
As
a

$234,000 of previously unrecognized tax benefits in the nine months ended
September 30, 2007. An additional $208,000 of unrecognized tax benefits relating
to uncertain income tax positions was provided in the nine months ended
September 30, 2007. We are subject to various tax audits and claims which arise
in the ordinary course of business. Management currently believes that the
ultimate outcome of these audits and claims will not have a material adverse
effect on our financial position or results of operations.
Our
liability for net unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2007 and
December 31, 2006 was approximately $443,000 and $481,000,
respectively. This liability represents an accrual relating to uncertain income

2006, we had accrued a liability for interest and penalties totaling
approximately $143,000 and $138,000, respectively.
Furthermore
we had unrecognized tax benefits of $176,000 and $167,000 as of September 30,
2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, which, if recognized, would increase
our net operating loss carry forward. This increase, if recognized, would not
have an impact on our effective tax rate since the increase to our deferred
tax
assets would result in a corresponding increase to our valuation
allowance.
Net
Income / Loss
We
recorded a net profit of $2.3 million in the nine months ended September 30,
2007 compared with a net loss of approximately $6.5 million in the comparable
period in 2006. The change was principally attributable to the increase in
gross
margin resulting from increased revenues and lower selling and administrative
expenses.

Net
Cash Provided By (Used In) Operating Activities
Net
cash
provided by operating activities was $1.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 compared to $2.1 million used in operating activities
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of approximately
$3.9 million. The $3.9 million increase in net cash provided by
operating activities is principally due to an $8.8 million increase in net
income, a $1.5 million decrease in other net operating assets and liabilities,
offset by a $6.1 million increase in accounts receivable. The $1.5 million
decrease in other net operating assets and liabilities resulted primarily from
payments of minimum withholding taxes on the net settlement of stock options
exercised by the Chairman and CEO.
Accounts
receivable totaled approximately $11.3 million at September 30, 2007,
representing approximately 55 days of sales outstanding compared to
$6.5 million, or 56 days, at December 31, 2006.
A
significant amount of our revenues are derived from clients in the publishing
industry. Accordingly, our accounts receivable generally include significant
amounts due from such clients. In addition, as of September 30,
2007,
approximately 19% of our accounts receivable was from foreign (principally
European) clients, and 52% of accounts receivable was due from two
clients.
Net
Cash Used in Investing Activities
For
the
nine months ended September 30, 2007, we spent cash approximating $2.9
million for capital expenditures compared to approximately $2.1 million for
the
nine months ended September 30, 2006. Capital spending in 2007 related
principally to normal technology equipment and facility upgrades. Capital
spending in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 related principally to
normal ongoing technology equipment improvements. 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.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we financed the acquisition of certain
computer and communications equipment approximating $819,000, while for the
nine
months ended September 30, 2006, we purchased software licenses totaling
approximately $164,000.
27
Net
Cash (Used In) Provided by Financing Activities
Proceeds
from the exercise of stock options were $194,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007, compared to $356,000 for the nine months ended September
30,
2006. Payments of long-term obligations approximated $525,000 and $586,000
for
the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively.
Availability
of Funds
We
have
an uncommitted line of credit of $5 million which expires on May 31, 2008.
Under the terms of the agreement, any amounts drawn against this facility must
be secured by a certificate of deposit of an equal amount. Additionally, any
amounts drawn will bear interest at the bank’s alternate base rate plus ½% or
LIBOR plus 3%. We have no outstanding obligations under this credit
line.
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
There
were no material changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to
our
critical accounting policies as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for
the year ended December 31, 2006.
Significant
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In
February 2007, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”)
No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS 159”). SFAS
159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain
other items at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting
SFAS
159 on our financial statements.
28
In
September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS
157”). SFAS
157
establishes a common definition for fair value under accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), establishes a
framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements about
such fair value measurements. SFAS
157
is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are
currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS
157
on our financial statements.
Item
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
(7.75% at September 30, 2007) plus ½% or LIBOR (5.125% at
September 30, 2007) 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,
2007
(“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.

PART
II. OTHER
INFORMATION
Item
1. Legal
proceedings
In
connection with the cessation of operations in 2002 at certain Philippine
subsidiaries, and the failure in 2001 to arrive at agreeable terms for a
collective bargaining agreement with one of these subsidiaries, certain
former employees and the Innodata Employee Association (IDEA) filed
various
actions against
subsidiaries of Innodata Isogen, Inc., and also purportedly against Innodata
Isogen, Inc. and certain of the Company’s officers and directors. The Supreme
Court of the Republic of the Philippines, Manila (Case No. G.R. No. 178603-04
Innodata Philippines, Inc. vs. Innodata Employees Association, et al. 10
September 2007) has refused to review a decision in these actions by a lower
appellate court (Court Of Appeals of the Republic of the Philippines in Manila,
Case Nos. CA-G.R. SP No. 93295 Innodata Employees Association (IDEA), Eleanor
Tolentino, et al. vs. Innodata Philippines, Inc., et al., and CA-G.R. SP No.
90538 Innodata Philippines, Inc. vs. Honorable Acting Secretary Manuel G. Imson,
et al 28 June 2007) against one of these subsidiaries in the Philippines that
is
inactive and has no material assets, and purportedly also against Innodata
Isogen, Inc., that orders the reinstatement of certain former employees to
their
former positions and payment of back wages and benefits that aggregate
approximately $6.5 million. The Philippine subsidiary has filed a motion with
the Supreme Court to reconsider the refusal of the Supreme Court to review
the
decision of the lower appellate court. All other Company affiliates were found
by the lower appellate court to have no liability. Based on consultation with
legal counsel, the Company believes that should the order of the lower appellate
court be upheld, recovery against Innodata Isogen, Inc. would nevertheless
be
unlikely.
The
Company is also subject to various legal proceedings and claims which arise
in
the ordinary
course
of business.
While
management
currently believes that the ultimate outcome of 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.
Substantial recovery against the Company in the above referenced Philippines
actions could have a material adverse impact on the Company, and unfavorable
rulings or recoveries in the other proceedings could have a material adverse
impact on the operating results of the period in which the ruling or recovery
occurs.
Items
1A,
3, 4 and 5 are not applicable and have been omitted.
Item
2. Unregistered
Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On
September 12, 2007, the Company’s Chairman and CEO (the “CEO”) exercised
1,139,160 stock options at a total exercise price of $882,844. The CEO paid
the
exercise price by surrendering to the Company 229,310 of the shares of common
stock he would have otherwise received on the option exercise. In addition,
the
CEO surrendered 395,695 shares to the Company in consideration of the payment
by
the Company on his behalf of $1,523,426 of the Company’s minimum withholding tax
requirement payable in respect of the option exercise. Because the payment
value
attributable to the surrendered shares upon settlement does not exceed the
fair
value of the option, no compensation cost was recognized at the date of
settlement. In connection with this transaction, the Company issued a net total
of 514,155 shares of common stock to the CEO.
