TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

BASIS
OF PRESENTATION:
|
The
accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related
notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
of PDI, Inc. and its subsidiaries (we, us, the Company or PDI) and related
notes
as included in the Company’s
Annual
Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2005 as filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). The unaudited interim
consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim
financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited
interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting
of
normal recurring adjustments) that, in the judgment of management, are necessary
for a fair presentation of such financial statements. During the second quarter
of 2006, the Company discontinued its Medical Device and Diagnostic (MD&D)
business. The MD&D business was part of the Company’s sales services
reporting segment. The MD&D business is accounted for as a discontinued
operation under GAAP and, therefore, the MD&D business’ results of
operations have been removed from the Company’s results of continuing operations
for all periods presented. See Note 12, Discontinued Operations. Operating
results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2006. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to
conform to the current presentation with no effect on financial position, net
income or cash flows.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
|
Accounting
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period, including, but not limited to, incentives earned
or
penalties incurred on contracts, accrued incentives payable to employees,
receivable valuations, impairment of goodwill, valuation allowances related
to
deferred income taxes, restructuring costs, insurance loss accruals, fair value
of assets, sales returns and litigation accruals. Management's estimates are
based on historical experience, facts and circumstances available at the time,
and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances. The Company reviews these matters and reflects changes in
estimates as appropriate. Actual results could materially differ from those
estimates.
Basic
and Diluted Net Income per Share
Basic
and
diluted net income per share is calculated based on the requirements of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, “Earnings
Per Share.” A reconciliation of the number of shares of common stock used in the
calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine-month
periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 is as follows:

Outstanding
options to purchase 742,404 and 892,717 shares of common stock at September
30,
2006 and 2005, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted
earnings per share because the exercise prices of the options were greater
than
the average market price of the common shares. Additionally, there were 79,856
and 82,065 stock-settled stock appreciation rights (SARs) outstanding at
September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, that were not included in the
computation of earnings per share because the exercise prices of the SARs were
greater than the average market price of the common shares.
New
Accounting Pronouncements - Standards Implemented
Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of, and accounts for
stock-based compensation in accordance with, Financial Accounting Standards
Board SFAS No. 123 - revised 2004 (SFAS 123R), “Share-Based Payment” which
6
PDI,
INC.
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Tabular
information in thousands, except per share amounts)
replaced
SFAS No. 123 (SFAS 123), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and
supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), “Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees.” Under the fair value recognition provision of SFAS
123R, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on
the
fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis
over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. The Company
adopted the modified prospective method of adoption, under which prior periods
are not revised for comparative purposes. The valuation provisions of SFAS
123R
apply to new grants after the effective date and to grants that were outstanding
as of the effective date and are subsequently modified. Compensation for grants
that were not fully vested as of the effective date will be recognized over
the
remaining service period using the fair value determined in accordance with
SFAS
123, which was the basis for the previous pro-forma disclosures in accordance
with SFAS 123. The Company has adopted the use of the straight-line attribution
method over the requisite service period for the entire award. Results of prior
periods do not reflect any restated amounts, and the Company had no cumulative
effect adjustment upon adoption of SFAS 123R under the modified prospective
method. The adoption of SFAS 123R did not have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
See Note 9 for further information regarding the Company’s stock-based
compensation assumptions and expenses, including pro forma disclosures for
prior
periods as if the Company had recorded stock-based compensation
expense.
Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 154 (SFAS 154), "Accounting
Changes and Error Corrections." SFAS 154 changes the requirements for the
accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This Statement
requires retrospective applications to prior periods' financial statements
of a
voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. In
addition, this Statement requires that a change in depreciation, amortization
or
depletion for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change
in
accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. The adoption
of SFAS 154 had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.
New
Accounting Pronouncements - Standards to be Implemented
In
July
2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting For Uncertainty In
Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109” (FIN 48). FIN 48
clarifies that an entity’s tax benefits recognized in tax returns must be more
likely than not of being sustained prior to recording the related tax benefit
in
the financial statements. As required by FIN 48, the Company will adopt this
new
accounting standard effective January 1, 2007. The Company is currently
reviewing the impact of FIN 48 on the Company’s financial statements. The
Company expects to complete this evaluation before December 31,
2006.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 (SFAS 157), “Fair Value
Measurements.” This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
This standard is to be applied when other standards require or permit the use
of
fair value measurement of an asset or liability. The statement is effective
for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007, and interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company is in the process
of evaluating the impact of adopting this statement.
In
September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108,
“Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying
Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (SAB 108). SAB 108 was
issued in order to eliminate the diversity of practice surrounding how public
companies quantify financial statement misstatements. It requires quantification
of financial statement misstatements based on the effects of the misstatements
on each of the Company’s financial statements and the related financial
statement disclosures. The provisions of SAB 108 must be applied to annual
financial statements no later than the first fiscal year ending after
November 15, 2006. The Company has assessed the effect of adopting this
guidance and has determined that there will be no impact on its financial
statements.

INVESTMENTS
IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES:
|
Available-for-sale
securities are carried at fair value and consist of assets held by the Company
in a Rabbi Trust associated with its deferred compensation plan. At September
30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the carrying value of available-for-sale
securities was approximately $765,000 and $1.9 million, respectively, including
approximately $213,000 and $1.1 million respectively, in money market accounts,
and approximately $552,000 and $811,000, respectively, in mutual funds. At
September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, included in accumulated other
comprehensive income were gross unrealized gains of approximately $119,000
and
$98,000, respectively, and gross unrealized losses of approximately $4,000
and
$28,000, respectively. The Company’s other marketable securities consist of a
laddered portfolio of investment grade debt instruments such as obligations
of
U.S. Treasury and U.S. Federal Government agencies, municipal bonds and
commercial paper. These investments are categorized as held-to-maturity because
the Company’s management has the intent and ability to hold these securities to
maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are carried at amortized cost and have
a
weighted average maturity of 7.3 months. Portions of these held-to-maturity
securities are maintained in separate accounts to support the Company’s standby
letters of credit. The Company has standby letters of credit of approximately
$9.6 million and $10.5 million at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005,
respectively, as collateral for its existing insurance policies and its

OTHER
ASSETS:
|
In
October 2002, the Company acquired $1.0 million of preferred stock of Xylos
Corporation (Xylos). In addition, the Company provided Xylos with short-term
loans totaling $500,000 in the first half of 2004. The Company determined its
$1.0 million investment and $500,000 short-term loan to Xylos were impaired
as
of December 31, 2004. The Company wrote its $1.0 million investment down to
zero
and established an allowance for credit losses against the $500,000 short-term
loan. Xylos made loan payments of $50,000 in each of the second and third
quarters of 2005, loan payments of $75,000 in each of the first and second
quarters of 2006, and a loan payment of $50,000 in the third quarter of 2006.
These payments were recorded as credits to bad debt expense in the periods
in
which they were received.
In
May
2004, the Company entered into a loan agreement with TMX Interactive, Inc.
(TMX), a provider of sales force effectiveness technology. Pursuant to the
loan
agreement, the Company provided TMX with a term loan facility of $500,000 and
a
convertible loan facility of $500,000, both of which were due to be repaid
on
November 26, 2005. During 2006 and 2005, TMX provided services to PDI valued
at
$218,000 and $245,000 respectively. The receipt of these services was used
as
payment towards the loan and the balance of the loan receivable at September
30,
2006 is $537,000. In 2005, due to TMX’s continued losses and uncertainty
regarding its future prospects, the Company established an allowance for credit
8

losses
against the TMX loans. The receipt of services in lieu of cash payment was
recorded as a credit to bad debt expense in 2006 and credit to loan receivable
in 2005.
In
June
2005, the Company sold its approximately 12% ownership share in In2Focus Sales
Development Services Limited, (In2Focus), a United Kingdom contract sales
company. The Company’s original investment of $1.9 million had been written down
to zero in the fourth quarter of 2001. The Company received approximately $4.4
million, net of deal costs, which is included in gain on investments in 2005.

FACILITIES
REALIGNMENT:
|
In
the
fourth quarter of 2005, the Company accrued facility realignment expenses of
approximately $2.4 million that related to excess leased office space it had
at
both its Saddle River, NJ and Dresher, PA offices. In the second quarter of
2006, the Company accrued an additional $285,000 for the excess leased space
at
these locations. The expense is reported in other selling, general and
administrative expenses within the reporting segment that it resides in and
the
accrual balance is reported in other accrued expenses on the balance sheet.
The
Company expects to sub-lease both of these spaces. A rollforward of the activity
for the facility realignment plan is as follows:

COMMITMENTS
AND CONTINGENCIES:
|
Due
to
the nature of the business in which the Company is engaged, such as product
detailing and in the past, the distribution of products, it could be exposed
to
certain risks. Such risks include, among others, risk of liability for personal
injury or death to persons using products the Company promotes or distributes.
There can be no assurance that substantial claims or liabilities will not arise
in the future due to the nature of the Company’s
business activities and recent increases in litigation related to healthcare
products, including pharmaceuticals. The Company seeks to reduce its potential
liability under its product detailing agreements through measures such as
contractual indemnification provisions with clients (the scope of which may
vary
from client to client, and the performances of which are not secured) and
insurance. The Company could, however, also be held liable for errors and
omissions of its employees in connection with the services it performs that
are
outside the scope of any indemnity or insurance policy. The Company could be
materially adversely affected if it was required to pay damages or incur defense
costs in connection with a claim that is outside the scope of an indemnification
agreement; if the indemnity, although applicable, is not performed in accordance
with its terms; or if the Company’s liability exceeds the amount of applicable
insurance or indemnity.
Securities
Litigation
In
January and February 2002, the Company, its former chief executive officer
and
its former chief financial officer were served with three complaints that were
filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey (the Court)
alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act).
These complaints were brought as purported shareholder class actions under
Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 established
thereunder. On May 23, 2002, the Court consolidated all three lawsuits into
a
single action entitled In re PDI Securities Litigation, Master File No.
02-CV-0211, and appointed lead plaintiffs (Lead Plaintiffs) and Lead Plaintiffs’
counsel. On or about December 13, 2002, Lead Plaintiffs filed a second
consolidated and amended complaint (Second Consolidated and Amended Complaint),
which superseded their earlier complaints. In February 2003, the Company filed
a
motion to dismiss the Second Consolidated and Amended Complaint. On or about
August 22, 2005, the Court dismissed the Second Consolidated and Amended
Complaint without prejudice to plaintiffs. On October 21, 2005, Lead Plaintiffs
filed a third consolidated and amended complaint (Third Consolidated and Amended
Complaint). Like its predecessor, the Third Consolidated and Amended Complaint
names the Company, its former chief executive officer and its former chief
financial officer as defendants; purports to state claims against the Company
on
behalf of all persons who purchased its common stock between May 22, 2001 and
August 12, 2002; and seeks money damages in unspecified amounts and litigation
expenses including attorneys’ and experts’ fees. The essence of the allegations
in the Third Consolidated and Amended Complaint is that the
9

Company
intentionally or recklessly made false or misleading public statements and
omissions concerning its prospects with respect to its marketing of Ceftin
in
connection with the October 2000 distribution agreement with GlaxoSmithKline
(GSK), its marketing of Lotensin in connection with the May 2001 distribution
agreement with Novartis, as well as its marketing of Evista in connection with
the October 2001 distribution agreement with Eli Lilly and Company. On December
21, 2005, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the Third Consolidated and
Amended Complaint under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
and
Rules 9(b) and 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. On November
2,
2006, the Court issued an Opinion and Order dismissing with prejudice all claims
asserted in the Third Consolidated and Amended Complaint against all defendants
and denied Lead Plaintiffs’ request to amend the complaint.
Bayer-Baycol
Litigation
The
Company has been named as a defendant in numerous lawsuits, including two class
action matters, alleging claims arising from the use of Baycol, a prescription
cholesterol-lowering medication. Baycol was distributed, promoted and sold
by
Bayer in the U.S. through early August 2001, at which time Bayer voluntarily
withdrew Baycol from the U.S. market. Bayer had retained certain companies,
such
as the Company, to provide detailing services on its behalf pursuant to contract
sales force agreements. The Company may be named in additional similar lawsuits.
To date, the Company has defended these actions vigorously and has asserted
a
contractual right of defense and indemnification against Bayer for all costs
and
expenses that it incurs relating to these proceedings. In February 2003, the
Company entered into a joint defense and indemnification agreement with Bayer,
pursuant to which Bayer has agreed to assume substantially all of the Company’s
defense costs in pending and prospective proceedings and to indemnify the
Company in these lawsuits, subject to certain limited exceptions. Further,
Bayer
agreed to reimburse the Company for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred
through such date in defending these proceedings. As of September 30, 2006,
Bayer has reimbursed the Company for approximately $1.6 million in legal
expenses, the majority of which was received in 2003 and was reflected as a
credit within selling, general and administrative expense. The Company did
not
incur any costs or expenses relating to these matters during 2004,
2005,
or the
first nine months of 2006.
Cellegy
Litigation
On
April
11, 2005, the Company settled a lawsuit which was pending in the U.S. District
Court for the Northern District of California against Cellegy Pharmaceuticals,
Inc. (Cellegy), which was set to go to trial in May 2005 (PDI, Inc. v. Cellegy
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Case No. C 03-05602 (SC)). The Company had claimed (i)
that it was fraudulently induced to enter into a December 31, 2002 license
agreement with Cellegy (the License Agreement) to market the product Fortigel,
and (ii) that Cellegy had otherwise breached the License Agreement by failing,
inter alia, to provide it with full information about Fortigel or to take all
necessary steps to obtain expeditious FDA approval of Fortigel. The Company
sought return of its $15 million upfront payment, other damages and an order
rescinding the License Agreement. Under the terms of the settlement, in exchange
for executing a stipulation of dismissal with prejudice of the lawsuit, Cellegy
agreed to and did deliver to the Company: (i) a cash payment in the amount
of
$2,000,000; (ii) a Secured Promissory Note in the principal amount of
$3,000,000, with a maturity date of October 11, 2006; (iii) a Security
Agreement, granting the Company a security interest in certain collateral;
and
(iv) a Nonnegotiable Convertible Senior Note, with a face value of $3,500,000,
with a maturity date of April, 11, 2008.
In
addition to the initial $2,000,000 received on April 11, 2005, Cellegy had
paid
$200,000 in 2005 and $458,500 through June 30, 2006 towards the outstanding
principal balance of the Secured Promissory Note. These payments were recorded
as a credit to litigation expense in the periods in which they were received.
On
December 1, 2005, the Company commenced a breach of contract action against
Cellegy in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (PDI,
Inc. v. Cellegy Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 05 Civ. 10137 (PKL)). The Company alleged
that Cellegy breached the terms of the Security Agreement and Secured Promissory
Note that it received in connection with the settlement. The Company further
alleged that to secure its debt to the Company, Cellegy granted the Company
a
security interest in certain "Pledged Collateral," which is broadly defined
in
the Security Agreement to include, among other things, 50% of licensing fees,
royalties or "other payments in the nature thereof" received by Cellegy in
connection with then-existing or future agreements for Cellegy's drugs
Rectogesic® and Tostrex® outside of the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. Upon receipt
of such payments, Cellegy agreed to make prompt payment to the Company. The
Company alleged that it was owed 50% of a $2,000,000 payment received by Cellegy
in connection with the renegotiation of its license and distribution agreement
for Rectogesic® in Europe, and that Cellegy's failure to pay the Company
constituted an event of default under the Security Agreement and the Secured
Promissory Note. For Cellegy's breach of contract, the Company sought damages
in
the total amount of $6,400,000 plus default interest from Cellegy.
On
December 27, 2005, Cellegy filed an answer to the Company’s complaint, denying
the allegations contained therein, and asserting affirmative defenses. Discovery
subsequently commenced and pursuant to a scheduling order entered by the court,
was to be completed by November 21, 2006. On June 22, 2006, the parties appeared
before the court for a status conference
10
PDI,
INC.
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Tabular
information in thousands, except per share amounts)
and
agreed to a dismissal of the lawsuit without prejudice because, among other
reasons, discovery would not be complete before October 11, 2006, the maturity
date of the Secured Promissory Note, at which time Cellegy would owe the Company
the entire unpaid principal balance and interest on the Secured Promissory
Note.
On July 13, 2006, the court dismissed the December 1, 2005 breach of contract
lawsuit without prejudice. This had no effect on the original
settlement.
On
September 27, 2006, Cellegy announced that it had entered into an asset purchase
agreement, dated as of September 26, 2006, to sell its intellectual property
rights and other assets relating to certain of its products and product
candidates to Strakan International Limited (the Sale). Pursuant to a letter
agreement (the Agreement) between Cellegy and the Company, Cellegy has agreed
to
pay the Company $3.0 million (the Payoff Amount) in full satisfaction of
Cellegy’s obligations to the Company under the Secured Promissory Note with an
outstanding principal amount of approximately $2.34 million and the $3.5 million
Nonnegotiable Convertible Senior Note (collectively, “the Notes”). Pursuant to
the Agreement, $500,000 of the Payoff Amount was paid to the Company in
September 2006, and the remaining $2.5 million is payable to the Company within
two business days of the consummation of the Sale. The Company had previously
established an allowance for doubtful notes for the outstanding balance of
the
Notes, therefore, the Agreement does not result in the recognition of a loss.
The $500,000 received has been recorded as a credit to litigation expense and
due to the final payment being contingent on the consummation of the Sale,
such
payment will be recognized as a credit to litigation expense when received.
California
Class Action Litigation
On
September 26, 2005, the Company was served with a complaint in a purported
class
action lawsuit that was commenced against the Company in the Superior Court
of
the State of California for the County of San Francisco on behalf of certain
of
the Company’s current and former employees, alleging violations of certain
sections of the California Labor Code. During the quarter ended September 30,
2005, the Company accrued approximately $3.3 million for potential penalties
and
other settlement costs relating to both asserted and unasserted claims relating
to this matter. In October 2005, the Company filed an answer generally denying
the allegations set forth in the complaint. In December 2005, the Company
reached a tentative settlement of this action, subject to court approval. As
a
result, the Company reduced its accrual relating to asserted and unasserted
claims relating to this matter to $600,000 during the quarter ended December
31,
2005. The balance of the accrual at September 30, 2006 is $87,000. On October
17, 2006, the court issued an order preliminarily approving the tentative
settlement and scheduled a fairness hearing regarding the tentative settlement
for January 2007. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance
that
the court will ultimately approve the tentative settlement, that the reserve
will be adequate to cover potential liability, or that the ultimate outcome
of
this action will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business,
financial condition and results of operations.
Letters
of Credit
As
of
September 30, 2006, the Company has $9.6 million in letters of credit
outstanding as required by its existing insurance policies and as required
by
its facility leases.

STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION:
|
On
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective
transition method. SFAS 123R requires all stock-based payments to employees
to
be recognized in the financial statements based on the grant date fair value
of
the award. Under the modified prospective transition method, the Company is
required to record stock-based

portion of previously granted awards outstanding as of the date of adoption.
In
accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the Company’s
consolidated financial statements for prior periods have not been restated
to
reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123R.
Stock
Incentive Plans
In
March
1998, the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders approved the 1998 Stock
Option Plan (the 1998 Plan) which reserved for issuance up to 750,000 shares
of
the Company’s common stock, pursuant to which officers, directors and key
employees of the Company and consultants to the Company were eligible to receive
incentive and/or non-qualified stock options. The 1998 Plan, which had an
initial term of ten years from the date of its adoption, was administered by
a
committee designated by the Board. The selection of participants, allotment
of
shares, determination of price and other conditions relating to the purchase

options was determined by the committee, in its sole discretion. Stock options
granted under the 1998 Plan are exercisable for a period of up to 10 years
from
the date of grant at an exercise price which is not less than the fair market
value of the common stock on the date of the grant, except that the term of
an
incentive stock option granted under the 1998 Plan to a shareholder owning
more
than 10% of the outstanding common stock may not exceed five years and its
exercise price may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the common
stock on the date of the grant.
In
May
2000, the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders approved the 2000
Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the 2000 Plan). The maximum number of
shares as to which awards or options could be granted under the 2000 Plan was
2.2 million shares. Eligible participants under the 2000 Plan included officers
and other employees of the Company, members of the Board of Directors and
outside consultants, as specified under the 2000 Plan and designated by the
Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors
(the
Compensation Committee). The right to grant awards under the 2000 Plan was
to
terminate ten years after the date the 2000 Plan was adopted. No participant
could be granted, in the aggregate, more than 100,000 shares of Company common
stock from all awards under the 2000 Plan.
In
June
2004, the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders approved the PDI, Inc.
2004 Stock Award and Incentive Plan (the 2004 Plan). The 2004 Plan replaced
the
2000 Plan and the 1998 Plan. The 2004 Plan reserved an additional 893,916 shares
for new awards as well as combined the remaining shares available under the
1998
Plan and 2000 Plan. The maximum number of shares as to which awards or options
may at any time be granted under the 2004 Plan is approximately 2.9 million
shares. Eligible participants under the 2004 Plan include officers and other
employees of the Company, members of the Board of Directors and outside
consultants, as specified under the 2004 Plan and designated by the Compensation
Committee. Unless earlier terminated by action of the Board, the 2004 Plan
will
remain in effect until such time as no stock remains available for delivery
under the 2004 Plan and the Company has no further rights or obligations under
the 2004 Plan with respect to outstanding awards under the 2004 plan. No
participant may be granted more than the annual limit of 400,000 shares plus
the
amount of the participant's unused annual limit relating to share-based awards
as of the close of the previous year, subject to adjustment for splits and
other
extraordinary corporate events.
On
March
29, 2005, under the terms of the 2004 Plan, the Compensation Committee created
the 2005 PDI, Inc. Long Term Incentive Plan (the 2005 LTI Plan), which permits
the issuance of certain equity and equity-based incentive awards. Under the
provisions of the 2005 LTI Plan, the Company sought to provide its eligible
employees with equity awards based, in part, upon the attainment of certain
financial performance goals during a three year period (the Performance Period).
The amount of these long-term incentive awards, which may be earned over the
Performance Period, were based, in part, on the Company’s financial performance
and the attainment of related individual performance goals during the prior
calendar year. To provide each participant with an equity stake in the Company,
and the potential to create or increase his or her stock ownership in the
Company, awards under the 2005 LTI Plan consisted of: (i) SARs; and (ii)
performance contingent shares of Company common stock (Performance Contingent
Shares).
On
March
23, 2006, under the terms of the 2004 Plan, the Compensation Committee created
the 2006 PDI, Inc. Long Term Incentive Plan (the 2006 LTI Plan). This plan
includes grants of SARs and restricted stock. In making recommendations for
grants under this plan, the Compensation Committee considered the overall
performance of the Company and the business unit of the Company for which the
executive has responsibility, the individual contribution and performance level
of the executive, and the need to retain key management personnel.
SFAS
123R
requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards
on
the date of grant using an option-pricing model. In 2006 and 2005, the fair
value of each grant was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The Black-Scholes option pricing model considers a range of assumptions related
to volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected life. Expected volatility
was based on historical volatility. As there is no trading volume for the
Company’s options, implied volatility was not representative of the Company’s
current volatility so the historical volatility was determined to be more
indicative of the Company’s expected future stock performance. The risk-free
rate was based on U.S.
12
PDI,
INC.

(Tabular
information in thousands, except per share amounts)
Treasury
security yields at the time of grant. The dividend yield was based on historical
information. The expected life was determined using the safe-harbor method
permitted by Securities Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107
(SAB 107). The Company expects to use this simplified method for valuing
employee SARs grants as permitted by the provisions of SAB 107 until more
detailed information about exercise behavior becomes available over time. When
stock options are issued, the Company will use an expected life commensurate
with their historical exercise patterns. The following table provides the
weighted average assumptions used in determining the fair value of the
stock-based awards granted during the three and nine months ended September
30,
2006 and 2005, respectively:

also requires that the Company recognize compensation expense for only the
portion of options, SARs or restricted shares that are expected to vest.
Therefore, the Company applies estimated forfeiture rates that are derived
from
historical employee termination behavior. If the actual number of forfeitures
differs from those estimated by management, adjustments to compensation expense
might be required in future periods.
The
weighted average grant date fair values of options and SARs granted during
the
nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 were $6.31 and $10.84,
respectively. There were no stock grants issued for the quarter ended September
30, 2006. The weighted average grant date fair values of options and SARs
granted during the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $13.08. During
the
nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the aggregate intrinsic values
of
options exercised under the Company’s stock option plans were approximately
$130,000 and $243,000, respectively, determined as of the date of option
exercise. As of September 30, 2006, there was $2.1 million of total unrecognized
compensation cost net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested awards
that
are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately
2.0 years. The Company reversed the balance of $904,000 of unamortized
compensation costs that pertained to restricted stock as of the January 1,
2006
balance sheet date to additional paid-in capital as required by SFAS
123R.

Forma Information under FAS 123 for Periods Prior to Fiscal
2006
Prior
to
the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company used the intrinsic value method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation in accordance with APB 25.
Under the intrinsic value method no compensation expense was recognized in
association with its stock awards which were issued with an exercise price
equal
to market value on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect
on net loss and net loss per share if the Company had applied SFAS 123 for
the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model.

Prior
to
the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company presented all tax benefits for deductions
resulting from the exercise of stock options and disqualifying dispositions
as
operating cash flows on its consolidated statements of cash flows. SFAS 123R
requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation
expense to be reported as a component of financing cash flows, rather than
as a
component of operating cash flows. This requirement will reduce net operating
cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption.
Total cash flow will remain unchanged from what would have been reported under
prior accounting rules.
On
February 9, 2005 the Company accelerated the vesting of all outstanding unvested
underwater stock options. The total number of stock options that were
accelerated was 473,334. On December 30, 2005, prior to the adoption of SFAS
123R, the Company accelerated the vesting of 97,706 SARs and placed a
restriction on the transfer or sale of the common stock received upon the
exercise of these SARs that matched the original vesting schedule of the SARs.
The Company accelerated the vesting of the options and SARs to avoid recognizing
compensation expense in future periods.

The

2006
and the three-month period ended September 30, 2005 are in line with the
Company’s historical tax rates. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 benefited from the release of a $1.7 million valuation
allowance on capital loss utilized in the second quarter of 2005 as a result
of
the In2Focus sale. In addition, the Company recorded a one-time benefit for
a
$585,000 state tax refund received in the second quarter of 2005, which further
reduced the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

IMPAIRMENT
OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS:
|
In
the
second quarter of 2005, the Company wrote off $2.8 million related to its Siebel
sales force automation software. Due to the migration of the Company’s sales
force automation software to the Dendrite system, it was determined that the
Siebel sales force automation software was impaired and a write-off of the
asset
was necessary. The write-off was included in operating expense in the sales
services segment.

DISCONTINUED
OPERATIONS:
|
As
announced in December 2005, the Company discontinued its MD&D business in
the second quarter of 2006. The MD&D business included the Company’s
MD&D contract sales and clinical sales teams and was previously reported in
the sales services reporting segment. The MD&D business was abandoned
through the run off of operations (i.e., to cease accepting new business but
to
continue to provide service under remaining contracts until they expire or
terminate). In accordance with SFAS No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment of
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, operations must be abandoned prior to reporting
them as discontinued operations. The last active contract within MD&D ended
in the second quarter of 2006. All prior periods have been restated to reflect
the treatment of this unit as a discontinued operation. Summarized selected
financial information for the discontinued operations is as

Operations
FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
Various
statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are “forward-looking
statements” (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995) regarding the plans and objectives of management for future operations.
These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other
factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be
materially different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking
statements included in this report are based on current expectations that
involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Our plans and objectives are based,
in
part, on assumptions involving judgments about, among other things, future
economic, competitive and market conditions, the impact of any stock repurchase
programs and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible
to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Some of the
important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those indicated by the forward-looking statements are general economic
conditions, changes in our operating expenses, adverse patent rulings, FDA,
legal or accounting developments, competitive pressures, failure to meet
performance benchmarks in significant contracts, changes in customer and market
requirements and standards, the adequacy of the reserves the Company has taken,

Overview
We
are a
diversified sales and marketing services company serving the pharmaceutical
industry. We create and execute sales and marketing programs. We do this by
working with companies who own the intellectual property rights to
pharmaceuticals and recognize our ability to add value to these products and
maximize their sales performance. We have a variety of agreement types that
we
enter into with our clients, from fee for service arrangements to arrangements
which involve risk-sharing and incentive based provisions.
Reporting
Segments and Operating Groups
In
the
fourth quarter of 2005, we announced that we would be discontinuing our medical
devices and diagnostics (MD&D) business unit. Beginning in the second
quarter of 2006 and going forward, the MD&D business unit will be reported
as a discontinued operation. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and
2005, our reporting segments are as follows:

plans, integration with clients’ in-house sales forces, call reporting platform
and data integration. Without adding permanent personnel, the client gets a
high
quality, industry-standard sales team comparable to its internal sales force.
Select
Access’
Our
Select Access teams sell multiple brands from different pharmaceutical
companies. Using these teams, we make a face-to-face selling resource available
to those clients that want an alternative to a dedicated team. Select Access
is
a leading provider of these detailing programs in the U.S. Since costs are
shared among various companies, these programs may be less expensive for the
client than programs involving a dedicated sales force. With a Select Access
team, the client still gets targeted coverage of its physician audience within
the representatives’
geographic territories.
Marketing
Services
Vital
Issues in Medicine - VIM®
VIM
is an
ACCME-accredited medical education company. VIM examines the latest healthcare
issues and advancements in clinical practice to help healthcare professionals
enhance their knowledge base for better clinical outcomes and patient results.
Our strong relationships with major teaching hospitals and key opinion leaders
enable us to develop strategic medical communications that are evidence-based,
scientifically rigorous and clinically relevant. Services include content
development, strategic consulting, publication planning, and implementation
of a
wide variety of live meetings, enduring materials and Web-based
activities.
Pharmakon
Pharmakon’s
emphasis is on the creation, design and implementation of interactive peer
persuasion programs. Pharmakon’s peer programs can be designed as promotional,
continuing medical education (CME) or marketing research/advisory programs.
We
acquired Pharmakon in August 2004. Each marketing program can be offered through
a number of different venues, including: teleconferences, dinner meetings,
“lunch and learns” and webcasts. Within each of our programs, we offer a number
of services including strategic design, tactical execution, technology support,
moderator services and thought leader management.
TVG
Marketing Research and Consulting
TVG
Marketing Research and Consulting (MR&C) employs leading edge, in some
instances proprietary, research methodologies. We provide qualitative and
quantitative marketing research to pharmaceutical companies with respect to
healthcare providers, patients and managed care customers in the U.S. and
globally. We offer a full range of pharmaceutical marketing research services,
including studies to identify the most impactful business strategy, profile,
positioning, message, execution, implementation and post implementation for
a
product. Our marketing research model improves the knowledge clients obtain
about how physicians and other healthcare professionals will likely react to
products.
We
utilize a systematic approach to pharmaceutical marketing research. Recognizing
that every marketing need, and therefore every marketing research solution,
is
unique, we have developed our marketing model to help identify the work that
needs to be done in order to identify critical paths to marketing goals. At
each
step of the marketing model, we can offer proven research techniques,
proprietary methodologies and customized study designs to address specific
product needs.
In
addition to conducting marketing research, we have trained several thousand
industry professionals at our public seminars. Our professional development
seminars focus on key marketing processes and issues.
PDI
Products Group (PPG)
The
goal
of the PPG segment has been to source biopharmaceutical products in the U.S.
through licensing, copromotion, acquisition or integrated commercialization
services arrangements. This segment did not have any revenue for the nine months
ended September 30, 2006 or for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Notwithstanding
the fact that we have shifted our strategy to deemphasize the PPG segment and
focus on our service businesses, we may continue to review opportunities which
may include copromotion, distribution arrangements, as well as licensing and
brand ownership of products. We do not currently anticipate any revenue for
2006
from the PPG segment.
Discontinued
Operations
MD&D
Contract Sales and Clinical Sales Teams
Our
medical teams group provided an array of sales and marketing services to the
MD&D industry. It provided dedicated sales teams to the MD&D industry as
well as clinical after sales support teams.
Nature
of Contracts by Segment
Our
contracts are nearly all fee for service. They may contain operational
benchmarks, such as a minimum amount of activity within a specified amount
of
time. These contracts can include incentive payments that can be earned if
our
activities
18
PDI,
INC.
generate
results that meet or exceed performance targets. Contracts may be terminated
with or without cause by our clients. Certain contracts provide that we may
incur specific penalties if we fail to meet stated performance benchmarks.
Occasionally, our contracts may require us to meet certain financial covenants,
such as maintaining a specified minimum amount of working capital.
Sales
Services
The
majority of our revenue is generated by contracts for performance sales teams.
These contracts are generally for terms of one to three years and may be renewed
or extended. The majority of these contracts, however, are terminable by the
client for any reason upon 30 to 90 days’ notice. Certain contracts provide for
termination payments if the client terminates us without cause. Typically,
however, these penalties do not offset the revenue we could have earned under
the contract or the costs we may incur as a result of its termination. The
loss
or termination of a large contract or the loss of multiple contracts could
have
a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of
operations.
Marketing
Services
Our
marketing services contracts generally are for projects lasting from two to
six
months. The contracts are generally terminable by the client for any reason.
Upon termination, the client is generally responsible for payment for all work
completed to date, plus the cost of any nonrefundable commitments made on behalf
of the client. Due to the typical size of these contracts, it is unlikely the
loss or termination of any individual contract would have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition or results of
operations.
PPG
The
contracts within the products group were either performance based or fee for
service and may have required sales, marketing and distribution of a product.
In
performance based contracts, we typically provided and financed a portion,
if
not all, of the commercial activities in support of a brand in return for a
percentage of product sales. An important performance parameter was normally
the
level of sales or prescriptions attained by the product during the period of
our
marketing or promotional responsibility, and in some cases, for periods after
our promotional activities have ended.

Three
Months Ended September 30, 2006 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30,
2005
Revenue
Revenue
for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 was $51.3 million, 29.6% less than
revenue of $72.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2005.
Revenue
from the sales services segment for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 was
$43.5 million, 32.9% less than revenue of $64.8 million from that segment for
the comparable prior year period. This decrease is attributable to the decreased
size of the Performance Teams sales force in the third quarter of 2006 as
compared to the comparable prior year period primarily as a result of the
termination of the AstraZeneca contract sales force arrangement discussed below.
Effective
April 30, 2006, as previously announced on February 28, 2006, AstraZeneca
terminated its contract sales force arrangement with us. The size of the
AstraZeneca sales force was approximately 800 representatives. The revenue
impact of this termination is expected to be between $60 and $65 million in
2006.
Revenue
for the marketing services segment was $7.8 million in the quarter ended
September 30, 2006, 3.2% less than the $8.1 million in the comparable prior
year
period. This decrease is primarily attributed to decreases in revenue at both
the MR&C and VIM business units due to a decline in projects at both units.
The
PPG
segment did not have any revenue for the quarters ended September 30, 2006
and
2005.
Cost
of services
Cost
of
services for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 was $38.9 million, 38.0%
less
than cost of services of $62.8 million for the quarter ended September 30,
2005.
As a percentage of total net revenue, cost of goods and services decreased
to
75.8% for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 from 86.2% in the comparable
prior year period.
Cost
of
services associated with the sales services segment for the quarter ended
September 30, 2006 was $34.7 million, 40.2% less than cost of services of $58.0
million for the prior year period. As a percentage of sales services segment
revenue, cost of services for the quarters ended September 30, 2006 and 2005
were 79.8% and 89.6%, respectively, an increase in year-over-year gross profit
margin of 9.8%. This improvement in gross profit percentage is primarily
attributable to the loss of our largest client whose lower gross profit margins
in 2005 were reducing the average gross profit for the Performance Teams unit.
Excluding this client from both periods, the gross profit percentage was 20.4%
and 18.3% for the quarters ended September 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively.
Cost
of
services associated with the marketing services segment was $4.2 million, a
$608,000 decrease over the comparable prior year period. This decrease is
primarily attributable to fewer projects at both the MR&C and VIM business
units. As a percentage of segment revenue, cost of services for the quarters
ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 were 53.6% and 59.4%, respectively. This
increase in gross profit percentage is primarily attributable to Pharmakon
being
a larger percentage of revenue within the segment.
Compensation
expense
Compensation
expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 was $7.6 million, 12.9% less
than $8.7 million in the comparable prior year period. Decreases in severance
of
$1.2 million and the absence of a national managers meeting which was
approximately $820,000 in the third quarter of 2005 were partially offset by
increases in the accrual of incentive compensation in 2006 due to the improved
performance of the company in 2006 as compared to zero incentive compensation
accrued in the third quarter of 2005. As a percentage of total net revenue,
compensation expense increased to 14.8% for the quarter ended September 30,
2006
as compared to 12.0% in the comparable prior year period. This percentage
increase is primarily due to the decrease in revenue in the third quarter of
2006 as compared to the comparable prior year period.
Compensation
expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 attributable to the sales
services segment was $5.2 million compared to $6.9 million for the quarter
ended
September 30, 2005; as a percentage of revenue it increased to 12.0% from 10.7%
in the comparable prior year period.
Compensation
expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 attributable to the marketing
services segment was $2.4 million, approximately 32.1% or $579,000 more than
the
comparable prior year period. This increase is primarily due to the accrual
of
incentive compensation in the current three-month period as well as
approximately $229,000 in severance expenses. As a percentage of revenue,
compensation expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 increased to
30.4%
from 22.3% in the comparable prior year period. This percentage increase is
primarily due to the increases mentioned above in the third quarter of 2006
as
compared to the comparable prior year period.
Other
selling, general and administrative expenses
Total
other selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $6.0
million for both the quarters ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005.
Decreases in facility and depreciation expense of $167,000 and approximately
$280,000 less in marketing spending were offset by approximately $800,000 in
consulting costs. As a percentage of revenue,
20
PDI,
INC.
other
selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 11.6% for the quarter
ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 8.3% in the comparable prior year
period. This percentage increase is primarily due to the decrease in revenue
in
the third quarter of 2006 as compared to the comparable prior year
period.
Other
selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to the sales services
segment for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 were $4.8 million which was
11.0% of revenue, compared to other selling, general and administrative expenses
for the comparable prior year period of $4.8 million, or 7.5% of revenue.
Other
selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to the marketing
services segment for the quarters ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 were
approximately $1.2 million.
Legal
and related costs
Net
legal
and related costs for the three months ended September 30, 2006 were a credit
to
expense of $552,000. Included in this amount was a settlement payment received
from Cellegy for $500,000, which was recorded in the PPG segment. For the
quarter ended September 30, 2005, legal and related costs were approximately
$3.6 million. This amount consisted primarily of $3.3 million accrued for
potential penalties and settlement costs relating to the California class action
lawsuit. For more details on the Cellegy litigation and California class action
litigation, see Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements.
Operating
loss
There
was
an operating loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 of approximately
$611,000 compared to an operating loss of approximately $8.3 million in the
comparable prior year period. The operating loss for the third quarter of 2006
can be attributed to the reduced size of the sales force in 2006. The operating
loss for the third quarter of 2005 can be attributed to several factors,
including: (1) legal settlement accrual of $3.3 million; (2) executive severance
costs of $1.7 million; (3) negative gross profit within Select Access of $1.8
million, (4) a national managers meeting of $820,000, and (5) an increase in
information technology consulting and outsourcing costs.
There
was
an operating loss of $1.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006
for
the sales services segment, $7.4 million less than the operating loss of $8.5
million for that segment in the comparable prior year period primarily due
to
the reasons listed above.
Operating
income for the marketing services segment was $50,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 2006 compared to operating income of $278,000 in that segment
for
the comparable prior year period. This decrease can be attributed to a decrease
in operating income at the MR&C business unit due to fewer projects. As a
percentage of revenue, operating income for the marketing services segment
was
0.6% for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 3.4% for the
quarter ended September 30, 2005.
The
PPG
segment had operating income for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 of
$403,000 compared to an operating loss of $119,000 in the comparable prior
year
period. The operating income for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 is
attributable to settlement amounts received from Cellegy, net of related legal
expenses. The operating loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 is
attributable to Cellegy litigation costs.
Interest
income, net
Interest
income, net, for the quarters ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $1.3 million
and $783,000, respectively. The increase in interest income was primarily due
to
higher interest rates, which increased over the comparable prior year period.
Income
tax expense (benefit)
The
federal and state corporate income tax expense was approximately $284,000 for
the quarter ended September 30, 2006, compared to an income tax benefit of
$3.3
million for the quarter ended September
30,
2005. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 was 41.0%,
compared to an effective tax benefit rate of 43.3% for the quarter ended
September 30, 2005. The effective tax rates were comparable in both periods.
Income
(loss) from continuing operations
Income
from continuing operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 was
approximately $409,000 as compared to a loss from continuing operations of
$4.3
million for the quarter ended September 30, 2005.
Discontinued
operations
Revenue
from discontinued operations for the quarters ended September
30, 2006
and 2005 was zero and $3.6 million, respectively. Income from discontinued
operations before income tax for the quarters ended September 30, 2006 and
2005
was approximately $88,000 and $83,000, respectively. Income from discontinued
operations, net of tax, for the quarters ended September 30, 2006 and 2005
was
approximately $54,000 and $94,000, respectively.

Nine
Months Ended September 30, 2006 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30,
2005
Revenue
Revenue
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $183.4 million, 19.2% less
than
revenue of $226.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
Revenue
from the sales services segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2006
was
$157.6 million, 21.2% less than revenue of $199.9 million from that segment
for
the comparable prior year period. This decrease is attributable to the decreased
size of the Performance Teams sales force in the first nine months of 2006
as
compared to the comparable prior year period.
Revenue
for the marketing services segment was $25.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006, 4.1% less than the $26.9 million in the comparable prior
year period. This decrease can be attributed to decreases in revenue at both
the
MR&C and VIM business units of $4.5 million due to fewer projects at the two
units, partially offset by a $3.4 million increase in revenue at Pharmakon.
The
PPG
segment did not have any revenue for the first nine months of 2006 and
2005.
Cost
of services
Cost
of
services for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $140.3 million, 24.9%
less than cost of services of $186.9 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2005. As a percentage of total net revenue, cost of services decreased
to
76.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from 82.4% in the comparable
prior year period. This improvement in gross profit percentage is primarily
attributable to a higher amount of incentive revenue earned in 2006 as compared
to the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
Cost
of
services associated with the sales services segment for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 were $126.4 million, 25.9% less than program expenses of
$170.7 million for the prior year period. As a percentage of sales services
segment revenue, cost of services for the nine months ended September 30, 2006
and 2005 were 80.2% and 85.4%, respectively.
Cost
of
services associated with the marketing services segment for the nine months
ended September 30, 2006 was $13.9 million, a $2.3 million decrease over the
comparable prior year period. This decrease is attributable to fewer projects
at
both the MR&C and VIM business units. As a percentage of revenue, cost of
services decreased to 54.0% from 60.3% in the comparable prior year period.
This
was due to improved margins at both VIM and Pharmakon.
Compensation
expense
Compensation
expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $21.2 million, 6.2%
less than $22.6 million for the comparable prior year period. This decrease
was
primarily due to executive and employee severance costs in 2005, partially
offset by increases in incentive compensation being accrued in 2006.
Compensation
expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 attributable to the sales
services segment was $14.7 million compared to $16.7 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2005; as a percentage of revenue it increased to 9.4% for
the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 from 8.3% in the comparable
prior
year period. Compensation expense increased as a percentage of revenue, due
to
the decline in revenue on a year-over-year basis.
Compensation
expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 attributable to the
marketing services segment was $6.5 million as compared to $5.9 million for
the
nine months ended September 30, 2005. As a percentage of revenue, compensation
expense increased to 25.1% from 22.0% in the comparable prior year period.
Other
selling, general and administrative expenses
Total
other selling, general and administrative expenses were $15.9 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2006, 20.6% less than other selling, general
and
administrative expenses of $20.0 million for the comparable prior year period.
The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in facility and
depreciation costs of $1.3 million, a reduction in office operations costs
of
approximately $1.3 million, and a decrease in bad debt expense of $1.4 million.
As a percentage of total net revenue, total other selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased to 8.6% for the nine months ended September
30, 2006 from 8.8% in the comparable prior year period.
Other
selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to the sales services
segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $12.6 million, which
was 8.0% of revenue, compared to other selling, general and administrative
22
PDI,
INC.
expenses
of $15.8 million, or 7.9% of revenue in the comparable prior year period. This
decrease was primarily due to the decrease in allocated overhead costs mentioned
above.
Other
selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to the marketing
services segment for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 was
approximately $3.3 million compared to $4.2 million for the comparable prior
year period; this decrease was due to reduced facility expense at the MR&C
and VIM business units.
Asset
impairment
Due
to
the migration of our sales force automation software to the Dendrite system
in
2005, we made a determination during the second quarter of 2005 that our Siebel
sales force automation software was impaired and a write-down of the asset
was
necessary. The amount of the write-down was approximately $2.8 million and
was
included in operating expense in the sales services segment.
Legal
and related costs
Net
legal
and related costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were a credit
to
expense of $936,000. Included in this amount were settlement amounts received
from Cellegy of $958,500, which was recorded in the PPG segment, net of
expenses. For the quarter ended September 30, 2005, legal and related costs
were
approximately $4.0 million. This amount consisted primarily of $3.3 million
accrued for potential penalties and settlement costs relating to the California
class action lawsuit. For more details on the Cellegy litigation and California
class action litigation, see Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements.
Operating
income (loss)
There
was
operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 of approximately
$6.9 million compared to an operating loss of $9.4 million in the comparable
prior year period. The operating loss for the nine months ended September 30,
2005 included the following items: (1) approximately $3.6 million in legal
costs
(primarily related to the California class action suit); (2) a $2.8 million
asset impairment charge mentioned previously; (3) $2.3 million in executive
severance and related costs; and (4) a $755,000 allowance for credit losses
with
regards to our loan to TMX (see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements
for more details).
There
was
operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 for the sales
services segment of approximately $4.2 million, $13.9 million more than the
operating loss of $9.7 million for that segment in the comparable prior year
period. This increase is attributable to higher gross profit margins within
this
segment and a reduction in operating expenses and allocated overhead expenses.
The nine months ended September 30, 2005 included the $2.8 million asset
impairment charge.
Operating
income for the marketing services segment was $2.0 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2006 compared to operating income of $607,000 in that
segment for the comparable prior year period. The increase is attributable
to
increased operating income from both Pharmakon and VIM. As a percentage of
revenue, operating income for the marketing services segment increased to 7.8%
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 2.3% for the quarter
ended September 30, 2005.
The
PPG
segment had operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 of
$702,000 and an operating loss of $366,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 2005. For both periods, the operating results pertained to the net of
Cellegy settlement payments received and Cellegy litigation expenses
incurred.
Gain
on investment
In
the
second quarter of 2005, we sold our ownership interest in In2Focus for
approximately $4.4 million. (See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements
for more details on the transaction).
Interest
income, net
Interest
income, net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $3.5
million and $2.1 million, respectively. The increase in interest income was
primarily due to higher interest rates, which increased over the comparable
prior year period.
Income
tax expense
The
federal and state corporate income tax expense was approximately $3.9 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to an income tax benefit
of $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The effective
tax
rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was 37.3%, compared to an
effective tax benefit rate of 100.6% for the nine months ended September 30,
2005. The tax benefit rate for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005
is
primarily attributable to the release of a $1.7 million valuation allowance
on
capital loss utilized in the second quarter of 2005 as a result of the In2Focus
sale. In addition, the Company recorded a one-time benefit for a $585,000 state
tax refund
23
PDI,
INC.
received
in the second quarter of 2005, which further impacted the effective tax rate
for
the nine month period ended September 30, 2005.
The
effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 is the projected
tax rate for the year from operations. We have significant deferred tax benefits
available to reduce future taxes under certain circumstances. It is possible
that some of these benefits will become available in the fourth quarter.
Additionally, we have tax reserves established for a number of state tax
exposures. The statute of limitation expires on some of these exposures in
the
fourth quarter of 2006. It is possible that one or both of these events could
significantly lower our effective tax rate for the fourth quarter and the year
below the current 37.3% effective tax rate.
Income
from continuing operations
Income
from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was
approximately $6.5 million, compared to income from continuing operations of
approximately $16,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
Discontinued
operations
Revenue
from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and
2005 was approximately $1.9 million and $11.3 million, respectively. Income
from
discontinued operations before income tax for the nine months ended September
30, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $696,000 and $416,000, respectively. Income
from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the nine months ended September
30, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $441,000 and $252,000,
respectively.
Net
Income
Net
income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $7.0 million
and $268,000, respectively.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of
September 30, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments
of approximately $111.4 million and working capital of $97.0 million, compared
to cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $97.6
million and working capital of approximately $86.4 million at December 31,
2005.
For
the
nine months ended September 30, 2006, net cash provided by operating activities
was $15.8 million, compared to $2.0 million net cash provided by operating
activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The net changes in
the
“Other changes in assets and liabilities” section of the consolidated statement
of cash flows may fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including the
number and size of programs, contract terms and other timing issues; these
variations may change in size and direction with each reporting period. Non-cash
net charges include $4.3 million in depreciation and amortization and $1.2
million in stock compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30,
2006. As of September 30, 2006, we had $3.7 million of unbilled costs and
accrued profits on contracts in progress. When services are performed in advance
of billing, the value of such services is recorded as unbilled costs and accrued
profits on contracts in progress. Normally all unbilled costs and accrued
profits are earned and billed within 12 months from the end of the respective
period. As of September 30, 2006, we had $15.5 million of unearned contract
revenue. When we bill clients for services before they have been completed,
billed amounts are recorded as unearned contract revenue, and are recorded
as
income when earned.
For
the
nine months ended September 30, 2006, net cash used in investing activities
was
$67.7 million as compared to $22.4 million provided by investing activities
for
the comparable prior year period. We
purchased approximately $66.8 million of short-term investments in 2006 as
part
of our laddered portfolio of investment grade debt instruments, with a weighted
average maturity of 7.3 months. Our portfolio is comprised of U.S. Treasury
and
U.S. Federal Government agencies’ bonds, municipal bonds, and commercial paper.
We
are
focused on preserving capital, maintaining liquidity, and maximizing returns
in
accordance with our investment criteria. We incurred approximately $1.2 million
of capital expenditures primarily for computer equipment during the nine months
ended September 30, 2006. Capital expenditures for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 were $4.4 million primarily associated with the relocation
of
our offices within the Marketing Services group. For both periods, all capital
expenditures were funded out of available cash.
On
August
31, 2004, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Pharmakon, LLC. In
the
second quarter of 2006, the remaining $500,000 that was being held in a related
escrow account was paid to the members of Pharmakon, LLC. The escrow amount
had
been recorded in other current assets on our balance sheet. Based upon the
attainment of annual profit targets agreed upon at the date of acquisition
for
the year ended December 31, 2004, the members of Pharmakon, LLC received
approximately $1.4 million in additional payments on April 1, 2005.
Additionally, the members of Pharmakon, LLC can still earn up to an additional
$3.3 million in cash based upon achievement of certain annual profit targets
through December 2006.
For
the
nine months ended September 30, 2006, net cash provided by financing activities
was approximately $87,000, which were the proceeds received from the exercise
of
stock options. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, cash
24
PDI,
INC.
used
in
financing activities was $11.6 million. This consisted of $12.9 million used
to
repurchase shares of our common stock, partially offset by $1.2 million in
proceeds received from the exercise of stock options and from shares issued
through our employee stock purchase plan.
On
April
27, 2005, our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase up to one million
shares of our common stock. On July 6, 2005, we announced that our Board of
Directors had authorized the repurchase of an additional one million shares
(the
July 2005 Stock Repurchase Plan). Subsequently, our Board of Directors placed
a
hold on the July 2005 Stock Repurchase Plan. There were no repurchases of shares
during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 we repurchased approximately 996,900 shares for approximately
$12.9 million. On November 3, 2006, our Board of Directors authorized us to
repurchase up to one million shares of our common stock and terminated the
July
2005 Stock Repurchase Plan.
Our
revenue and profitability depend to a great extent on our relationships with
a
limited number of large pharmaceutical companies. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2006, we had two major clients that accounted for approximately
28.5% and 23.5%, respectively, or a total of 52.1% of our service revenue.
We
are likely to continue to experience a high degree of client concentration,
particularly if there is further consolidation within the pharmaceutical
industry. The loss or a significant reduction of business from any of our major
clients, or a decrease in demand for our services, could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For
example, on April 30, 2006, AstraZeneca terminated its contract sales force
arrangement with us, as previously announced on February 28, 2006. The size
of
the AstraZeneca sales force was approximately 800 representatives. The revenue
impact of this termination is expected to be between $60 and $65 million in
2006. Unless and until we generate sufficient new business to offset the loss
of
the AstraZeneca sales force, which accounted for $43.0 million in revenue for
the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the current results will not be
duplicated in future periods. Additionally,
on September 26, 2006, we announced that GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) would not be
renewing its current contract with us when it expires on December 31, 2006.
This
represents a loss of revenue between $65 and $70 million for 2007 unless
sufficient new business can be generated to offset the loss of this contract.
Furthermore, on October 25, 2006, we announced that we had received notification
from sanofi-aventis of its intention to terminate its contract sales engagement
with us effective December 1, 2006. The contract, which represents approximately
$18 million to $20 million in revenue on an annual basis, was scheduled to
expire on December 31, 2006.
In
the
fourth quarter of 2005, we accrued facility realignment expenses of
approximately $2.4 million that related to excess leased office space we have
at
both our Saddle River, NJ and Dresher, PA offices. In the second quarter of
2006, we accrued an additional $285,000 for the excess leased space at both
locations. The expense is reported in other selling, general and administrative
expenses in the reporting segment that it resides in and the accrual balance
is
reported in other accrued expenses on the balance sheet. The excess leased
office space amounted to approximately 7,300 square feet in Saddle River and
approximately 11,600 square feet in Dresher. We are continuing to review our
current and future office space needs and as a result we may incur additional
charges relating to our facilities in future periods. We are expecting to
sub-lease both of these spaces in the first half of 2007. A rollforward of
the
activity for the facility realignment plan is as follows:

We
have
federal income tax receivables of approximately $5.4 million on our balance
sheet as of September 30, 2006 as a result of federal net operating losses
which
will be carried back to December 31, 2003. We received this refund in October
2006. We expect to receive state refunds totaling approximately $400,000 in
the
fourth quarters of 2006 and 2007.
Due
to
the relatively small size of the MD&D business unit and the near completion
of the closing-out process, the discontinuation of that unit is not expected
to
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of operations in future periods.
As
discussed above, the non-renewal of the GSK and sanofi-aventis programs will
have an impact on results of operations and cash flows beginning in the fourth
quarter of 2006. Until we generate sufficient new business to offset the winding
down of these two programs, we expect our financial results to be weaker in
the
near-term. Taking into account the non-renewal of these programs along with
our
cost reduction efforts, we believe that our existing cash balances and expected
cash flows generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our operating
and capital requirements for the next 12 months,
25
PDI,
INC.
including
the implementation of our strategic plan. We continue to evaluate and review
financing opportunities and acquisition candidates in the ordinary course of
business.
Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk
We
are
exposed to market risk for changes in the market values of some of our
investments (Investment Risk) and the effect of interest rate changes (Interest
Rate Risk). Our financial instruments are not currently subject to foreign
currency risk or commodity price risk. We have no financial instruments held
for
trading purposes, we have no long-term debt and we have no interest bearing
short-term debt. At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we did not hold
any derivative financial instruments.
The
objectives of our investment activities are: to preserve capital; maintain
liquidity; and maximize returns without significantly increasing risk. In
accordance with our investment policy, we attempt to achieve these objectives
by
investing our cash in a variety of financial instruments. These investments
are
principally restricted to government sponsored enterprises, high-grade bank
obligations, high-grade corporate bonds, certain money market funds of
investment grade debt instruments such as obligations of the U.S. Treasury
and
U.S. Federal Government Agencies, municipal bonds and commercial paper.
Investments
in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments carry a degree
of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market value
adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate
securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due
in
part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of
expectations due to changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in
principal if forced to sell securities that have seen a decline in market value
due to changes in interest rates. Our cash and cash equivalents and short-term
investments at September 30, 2006 were composed of the instruments described
in
the preceding paragraph. If interest rates were to increase or decrease by
one
percent, the change in the fair value of our investments would not be material
primarily due to the quality of the investments and the near term
maturity.
Item
4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of disclosure controls and procedures
An
evaluation as of September 30, 2006 was carried out under the supervision and
with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation
of
our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that those disclosure
controls and procedures were adequate to ensure that information required to
be
disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act
are
(i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to
management, including our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers, as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Changes
in internal controls
No
change
in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f)
and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter covered by
this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART
II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item
1. Legal Proceedings
Securities
Litigation
In
January and February 2002, we, our former chief executive officer and our former
chief financial officer were served with three complaints that were filed in
the
U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey (the Court) alleging
violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). These
complaints were brought as purported shareholder class actions under Sections
10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 established thereunder.
On
May 23, 2002, the Court consolidated all three lawsuits into a single action
entitled In re PDI Securities Litigation, Master File No. 02-CV-0211, and
appointed lead plaintiffs (Lead Plaintiffs) and Lead Plaintiffs’ counsel. On or
about December 13, 2002, Lead Plaintiffs filed a second consolidated and amended
complaint (Second Consolidated and Amended Complaint), which superseded their
earlier complaints.
In
February 2003, we filed a motion to dismiss the Second Consolidated and Amended
Complaint. On or about August 22, 2005, the Court dismissed the Second
Consolidated and Amended Complaint without prejudice to plaintiffs.
On
October 21, 2005, Lead Plaintiffs filed a third consolidated and amended
complaint (Third Consolidated and Amended Complaint). Like its predecessor,
the
Third Consolidated and Amended Complaint names us, our former chief executive
officer and our former chief financial officer as defendants; purports to state
claims against us on behalf of all persons who purchased our
26
PDI,
INC.
common
stock between May 22, 2001 and August 12, 2002; and seeks money damages in
unspecified amounts and litigation expenses including attorneys’ and experts’
fees. The essence of the allegations in the Third Consolidated and Amended
Complaint is that we intentionally or recklessly made false or misleading public
statements and omissions concerning our prospects with respect to our marketing
of Ceftin in connection with the October 2000 distribution agreement with
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), our marketing of Lotensin in connection with the May
2001
distribution agreement with Novartis, as well as our marketing of Evista in
connection with the October 2001 distribution agreement with Eli Lilly and
Company.
On
December 21, 2005, we filed a motion to dismiss the Third Consolidated and
Amended Complaint under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
and
Rules 9(b) and 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. On November
2,
2006, the Court issued an Opinion and Order dismissing with prejudice all claims
asserted in the Third Consolidated and Amended Complaint against all defendants
and denied Lead Plaintiffs’ request to amend the complaint.
Bayer-Baycol
Litigation
We
have
been named as a defendant in numerous lawsuits, including two class action
matters, alleging claims arising from the use of Baycol, a prescription
cholesterol-lowering medication. Baycol was distributed, promoted and sold
by
Bayer in the U.S. through early August 2001, at which time Bayer voluntarily
withdrew Baycol from the U.S. market. Bayer had retained certain companies,
such
as us, to provide detailing services on its behalf pursuant to contract sales
force agreements. We may be named in additional similar lawsuits. To date,
we
have defended these actions vigorously and have asserted a contractual right
of
defense and indemnification against Bayer for all costs and expenses we incur
relating to these proceedings. In February 2003, we entered into a joint defense
and indemnification agreement with Bayer, pursuant to which Bayer has agreed
to
assume substantially all of our defense costs in pending and prospective
proceedings and to indemnify us in these lawsuits, subject to certain limited
exceptions. Further, Bayer agreed to reimburse us for all reasonable costs
and
expenses incurred through such date in defending these proceedings. As of
September 30, 2006, Bayer has reimbursed us for approximately $1.6 million
in
legal expenses, the majority of which was received in 2003 and was reflected
as
a credit within selling, general and administrative expense. We did not incur
any costs or expenses relating to these matters during 2004, 2005 or the first
nine months of 2006.
Cellegy
Litigation
On
April
11, 2005, we settled a lawsuit which was pending in the U.S. District Court
for
the Northern District of California against Cellegy Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
(Cellegy), which was set to go to trial in May 2005 (PDI, Inc. v. Cellegy
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Case No. C 03-05602 (SC)). We had claimed (i) that we
were fraudulently induced to enter into a December 31, 2002 license agreement
with Cellegy (the License Agreement) to market the product Fortigel and (ii)
that Cellegy had otherwise breached the License Agreement by failing, inter
alia, to provide us with full information about Fortigel or to take all
necessary steps to obtain expeditious FDA approval of Fortigel. We sought return
of our $15 million upfront payment, other damages and an order rescinding the
License Agreement. Under the terms of the settlement, in exchange for our
executing a stipulation of dismissal with prejudice of the lawsuit, Cellegy
agreed to and did deliver to us: (i) a cash payment in the amount of $2,000,000;
(ii) a Secured Promissory Note in the principal amount of $3,000,000, with
a
maturity date of October 11, 2006; (iii) a Security Agreement, granting us
a
security interest in certain collateral; and (iv) a Nonnegotiable Convertible
Senior Note, with a face value of $3,500,000, with a maturity date of April,
11,
2008.
In
addition to the initial $2,000,000 received on April 11, 2005, Cellegy had
paid
$200,000 in 2005 and $458,500 through June 30, 2006 towards the outstanding
principal balance of the Secured Promissory Note. These payments were recorded
as a credit to litigation expense in the periods in which they were received.
On
December 1, 2005, we commenced a breach of contract action against Cellegy
in
the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (PDI, Inc. v.
Cellegy Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 05 Civ. 10137 (PKL)). We alleged that Cellegy
breached the terms of the Security Agreement and Secured Promissory Note we
received in connection with the settlement. We further alleged that to secure
its debt to us, Cellegy granted us a security interest in certain "Pledged
Collateral," which is broadly defined in the Security Agreement to include,
among other things, 50% of licensing fees, royalties or "other payments in
the
nature thereof" received by Cellegy in connection with then-existing or future
agreements for Cellegy's drugs Rectogesic® and Tostrex® outside of the United
States, Mexico, and Canada. Upon receipt of such payments, Cellegy agreed to
make prompt payment to us. We alleged that we were owed 50% of a $2,000,000
payment received by Cellegy in connection with the renegotiation of its license
and distribution agreement for Rectogesic® in Europe, and that Cellegy's failure
to pay us constituted an event of default under the Security Agreement and
the
related Secured Promissory Note. For Cellegy's breach of contract, we sought
damages in the total amount of $6,400,000 plus default interest from Cellegy.
On
December 27, 2005, Cellegy filed an answer to our complaint, denying the
allegations contained therein, and asserting affirmative defenses. Discovery
subsequently commenced and pursuant to a scheduling order entered by the court,
was to be completed by November 21, 2006. On June 22, 2006, the parties appeared
before the court for a status conference and agreed to a dismissal of the
lawsuit without prejudice because, among other reasons, discovery would not
be
complete before October 11, 2006, the maturity date of the Secured Promissory
Note, at which time Cellegy would owe us the entire unpaid principal balance
and
interest on the Second Promissory Note. On July 13, 2006, the court dismissed
the lawsuit without prejudice. On July 13,
27
PDI,
INC.
2006,
the
court dismissed the December 1, 2005 breach of contract lawsuit without
prejudice. This has no effect on the original settlement.
On
September 27, 2006, Cellegy announced that it had entered into an asset purchase
agreement
to sell
its intellectual property rights and other assets relating to certain of its
products and product candidates to Strakan International Limited (the Sale).
Pursuant to a letter agreement (the Agreement) between Cellegy and us, Cellegy
has agreed to pay us $3.0 million (the Payoff Amount) in full satisfaction
of
Cellegy’s obligations to us under the Secured Promissory Note, which had an
outstanding principal amount of approximately $2.34 million and the $3.5 million
Nonnegotiable Convertible Senior Note (collectively, “the Notes”). Pursuant to
the Agreement, $500,000 of the Payoff Amount was paid to us in September 2006,
and the remaining $2.5 million is payable to us within two business days of
the
consummation of the Sale. We
had
previously established an allowance for doubtful notes for the outstanding
balance of the Notes, therefore, the Agreement does not result in the
recognition of a loss. The $500,000 received has been recorded as a credit
to
litigation expense and due to the final payment being contingent on the
consummation of the Sale, such payment will be recognized as a credit to
litigation expense when received.
California
Class Action Litigation
On
September 26, 2005, we were served with a complaint in a purported class action
lawsuit that was commenced against us in the Superior Court of the State of
California for the County of San Francisco on behalf of certain of our current
and former employees, alleging violations of certain sections of the California
Labor Code. During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, we accrued
approximately $3.3 million for potential penalties and other settlement costs
relating to both asserted and unasserted claims relating to this matter. In
October 2005, we filed an answer generally denying the allegations set forth
in
the complaint. In December 2005, we reached a tentative settlement of this
action, subject to court approval and as a result, we reduced the accrual
relating to asserted and unasserted claims relating to this matter to $600,000
during the quarter ended December 31, 2005. The current balance of the accrual
is $87,000. On October 17, 2006, the court issued and order preliminarily
approving the settlement and scheduled a fairness hearing regarding the
tentative settlement for January 2007. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there
can
be no assurance that the court will ultimately approve our tentative settlement,
that the reserve will be adequate to cover potential liability, or that the
ultimate outcome of this action will not have a material adverse effect on
our
business, financial condition or results of operations
Other
Legal Proceedings
We
are
currently a party to other legal proceedings incidental to our business. As
required, we have accrued our estimate of the probable costs for the resolution
of these claims. While management currently believes that the ultimate outcome
of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of
operations, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. Were we to settle
a
proceeding for a material amount or were an unfavorable ruling to occur, there
exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on our business, financial
condition or results of operations. Legal fees are expensed as
incurred.
Item
1A. Risk Factors
There
are
a number of factors that might cause our actual results to differ significantly
from the results reflected by the forward looking statements contained herein.
In addition to the factors generally affecting the economic and competitive
conditions in our markets, additional risk factors that could have a material
adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations
are
set contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended
December 31, 2005. Investors should consider these factors before investing
in
our common stock.
There
have been no material changes to the Risk Factors included in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2005, except that
the
following risk factors have been updated to reflect developments subsequent
to
the filing of that report.
Our
business will suffer if we are unable to hire and retain key management
personnel.
The
success of our business also depends on our ability to attract and retain
qualified senior management and experienced financial executives who are in
high
demand and who often have competitive employment options. Our failure to attract
and retain qualified individuals could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition or results of operations.
Most
of our service revenue is derived from a limited number of clients, the loss
of
any one of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial
condition or results of operations.
Our
revenue and profitability depend to a great extent on our relationships with
a
limited number of large pharmaceutical companies. In 2005, we had three major
clients that accounted for approximately 33.6%, 21.7% and 15.0%, respectively,
or a total of approximately 70.3% of our service revenue. In 2004, our two
major
clients accounted for a total of approximately 63.0% of our service revenue.
We
are likely to continue to experience a high degree of client concentration,
particularly if there is further consolidation within the pharmaceutical
industry. The loss or a significant reduction of business from any of our major
clients could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition or results of operations. For example, in
28
PDI,
INC.
December
2004, we announced a reduction in the aggregate number of representatives that
we deployed for AstraZeneca. This reduction decreased revenue generated from
AstraZeneca in 2005 by approximately $45.8 million from revenues generated
in
2004. Further, as announced on February 28, 2006, AstraZeneca terminated its
contract sales force arrangement with us effective April 30, 2006. The
termination affects approximately 800 field representatives. The revenue impact
is projected to be approximately $60 to $65 million in 2006. Additionally,
on
September 26, 2006, we announced that GlaxoSmithKline would not be renewing
its
current contract with us when it expires on December 31, 2006. This represents
a
loss of revenue between $65 and $70 million for 2007 unless
sufficient new business can be generated to offset the loss of this
contract.
Furthermore, on October 25, 2006, we announced that we had received notification
from sanofi-aventis of its intention to terminate its contract sales engagement
with us effective December 1, 2006. The contract, which represents approximately
$18 million to $20 million in revenue on an annual basis, was scheduled to
expire on December 31, 2006.
Our
service contracts are generally short-term agreements and are cancelable at
any
time, which may result in lost revenue and additional costs and
expenses.
Our
service contracts are generally for a term of one to three years (certain of
our
operating entities have contracts of shorter duration) and many may be
terminated by the client at any time for any reason. Additionally, certain
of
our clients have the ability to significantly reduce the number of
representatives we deploy on their behalf. For example, as discussed above,
as a
result of the reduction in the number of representatives we deployed for
AstraZeneca, we generated approximately $45.8 million less revenue from our
AstraZeneca relationship in 2005 than we realized in 2004. Further, as announced
on February 28, 2006, AstraZeneca terminated its contract sales force
arrangement with us effective April 30, 2006. The termination affects
approximately 800 field representatives. The revenue impact is projected to
be
approximately $60 to $65 million in 2006. Addtionally as discussed above, the
loss of both the GlaxoSmithKline and sanofi-aventis contracts for 2007 represent
a loss of $83 to $90 million in revenue for 2007 unless
sufficient new business can be generated to offset the loss of these
contracts.
The
termination or significant reduction of a contract by one of our major clients
not only results in lost revenue, but also typically causes us to incur
additional costs and expenses. All of our sales representatives are employees
rather than independent contractors. Accordingly, when a contract is
significantly reduced or terminated, unless we can immediately transfer the
related sales force to a new program, if permitted under the contract, we must
either continue to compensate those employees, without realizing any related
revenue, or terminate their employment. If we terminate their employment, we
may
incur significant expenses relating to their termination. The loss, termination
or significant reduction of a large contract or the loss of multiple contracts
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or
results of operations.
Changes
in outsourcing trends in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries could
materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of
operations and growth rate.
Our
business and growth depend in large part on demand from the pharmaceutical
and
life sciences industries for outsourced marketing and sales services. The
practice of many companies in these industries has been to hire outside
organizations like us to conduct large sales and marketing projects. However,
companies may elect to perform these services internally for a variety of
reasons, including the rate of new product development and FDA approval of
those
products, number of sales representatives employed internally in relation to
demand for or the need to promote new and existing products, and competition
from other suppliers. Recently, there has been a slow-down in the rate of
approval of new products by the FDA and this trend may continue. Additionally,
several large pharmaceutical companies have recently made changes to their
commercial model by reducing the number of sales representatives employed
internally and through outside organizations like us. If the pharmaceutical
and
life sciences industries reduce their tendency to outsource these projects,
our
business, financial condition, results of operations and growth rate could
be
materially adversely affected.
