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 (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 six month periods ended June 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 U.S. 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 six-month
periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 is as follows:

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 84,721
and
88,199 stock-settled stock appreciation rights (SARs) outstanding at June 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
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 elected the modified prospective method, 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 our 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 we 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
February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155 (SFAS 155), "Accounting for Certain
Hybrid Financial Instruments - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and
140."
SFAS 155 allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be
accounted for as a whole, eliminating the need to separate the derivative from
its host, if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair
value basis. This new accounting standard is effective January 1, 2007. The
adoption of SFAS 155 is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s
financial statements.
In
March
2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156 (SFAS 156), "Accounting for Servicing of
Financial Assets - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140." SFAS 156 requires
that all separately recognized servicing rights be initially measured at fair
value, if practicable. In addition, this Statement permits an entity to choose
between two measurement methods (amortization method or fair value measurement
method) for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and
liabilities. This new accounting standard is effective January 1, 2007. The
adoption of SFAS 156 is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s
financial statements.
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.

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 5.9 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 June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, as
collateral for its existing insurance policies and its facility leases. At
June
30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, held-to-maturity securities were included in
cash equivalents (approximately $142,000 and zero, respectively), short-term
investments (approximately $50.1 million and $4.9 million, respectively), other
current assets (approximately $7.1 million and $7.8 million, respectively)
and
other long-term assets (approximately $2.5 million and $2.7 million,

GOODWILL
AND OTHER INTANGIBLE
ASSETS:
|
The
Company increased goodwill by $500,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

is
reported in the marketing services operating segment.
All
intangible assets recorded as of June 30, 2006 are attributable to the
acquisition of Pharmakon and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over
the lives of the intangibles, which range from 5 to 15 years. As of March 31,
2006, the intangible assets associated with the acquisition of InServe were
fully amortized.

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 and both were written down to zero. Xylos made loan
payments of $50,000 in each of the second and third quarters of 2005 and loan
payments of $75,000 in each of the first and second quarters of 2006. These
payments were recorded as a credit 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
$191,000 and $245,000 respectively. The receipt of these services was used
as
payment towards the loan and the balance of the loan receivable at June 30,
2006
is $564,000. In 2005, due to TMX’s continued losses and uncertainty regarding
its future prospects, the Company established an allowance for credit 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.

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 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 both
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 excess leased
office space amounted to approximately 7,300 square feet in Saddle River and
approximately 11,600 square feet in Dresher. The Company is expecting to
sub-lease both of these spaces in the first half of 2007. A rollforward of

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 service 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, Mater File No.
02-CV-0211, and appointed lead plaintiffs (Lead Plaintiffs) and Lead Plaintiffs’
counsel.
9
PDI,
INC.
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Tabular
information in thousands, except per share amounts)
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 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. That motion is currently
pending. The Company believes that the allegations in this purported securities
class action are without merit and intends to defend the action
vigorously.
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 June 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 six 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 has
paid
$200,000 in 2005 and $458,500 through June 30, 2006 towards its obligation
to
the Company. These payments were recorded as a credit to litigation expense
in
the periods in which they were received. As June 30, 2006, the remaining balance
of $2,341,500 for the promissory note and the $3,500,000 nonnegotiable
convertible senior note are recorded in other current assets and other long-term
assets, respectively, with full allowances.

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 a related
Nonnegotiable Convertible Senior 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 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 owes 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 has no effect on the original settlement.
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 June 30, 2006 is $247,000. However, there
can be no assurance that the court will 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
June 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 compensation expense for all awards granted
after
the date of adoption and for the unvested 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
of
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 publicly listed options, implied volatility was not representative of
the Company’s current volatility so the historical volatility was more
indicative of the Company’s expected future stock performance. The risk-free
rate was based on U.S. 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 six
months ended June 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
may be required in future periods.
The
weighted average grant date fair value of options and SARs granted during the
six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $6.64 and $10.41, respectively.
The
weighted average grant date fair value of options and SARs granted during the
three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $6.68 and $10.41, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the aggregate intrinsic
values of options exercised under the Company’s stock option plans were
approximately $127,000 and $243,000, respectively, determined as of the date
of
option exercise. As of June 30, 2006, there was $2.8 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 2.1 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.

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 six month periods ended June 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
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.
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. The Company accelerated the vesting of the options
and
SARs to avoid recognizing compensation expense in future periods.

The
increase in the effective tax rate for the three and six-month periods ended
June 30, 2006 as compared to the three and six-month periods ended June 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 received in the second quarter of 2005, which further
reduced the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 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 existing 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,
the financial visibility of certain companies whose debt and equity securities
we hold, outcome of certain litigations, the termination or material downsizing
of one or more customer contracts, and the Company’s ability to implement its
current business plans. This report also includes payments that Cellegy is
obligated to make in the future. There is no assurance that these payments
will
be made and that Cellegy will remain financially viable and able to make the
required payments. Although we believe that our assumptions underlying the
forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of these assumptions could prove
inaccurate and, therefore, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking
statements included in this report will prove to be accurate. In light of the
significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included
in
this report, the inclusion of these statements should not be interpreted by
anyone that our objectives and plans will be achieved. Factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially and adversely from those expressed or
implied by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the
factors, risks and uncertainties (i) identified or discussed herein, (ii) set
forth in “Risk Factors” under Part I, item 1, of the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, as amended, as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and (iii) set forth in the Company’s
periodic reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K as filed with the SEC since January
1,
2006. We undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any
forward-looking statements for any reason.

Performance
Sales Teams (formerly dedicated teams)
A
performance contract sales team works exclusively on behalf of one client.
The
sales team is customized to meet the specifications of our client with respect
to representative profile, physician targeting, product training, incentive
compensation 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™
(formerly Shared Sales Teams)
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.

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,

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 six months
ended June 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.

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 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 can be either performance based or fee
for
service and may require sales, marketing and distribution of a product. In
performance based contracts, we typically provide and finance 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 is 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 June 30, 2006 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2005
Revenue
Revenue
for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 was $55.0 million, 27.8% less than revenue
of $76.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.
Revenue
from the sales services segment for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 was $47.8
million, 28.1% less than revenue of $66.5 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 second quarter of 2006 as
compared to the comparable prior year period.
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 $7.1 million in the quarter ended June
30, 2006, 25.2% less than the $9.5 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 in the first six months of 2006 and
2005.
Cost
of goods and services
Cost
of
goods and services for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 was $43.0 million, 31.1%
less than cost of goods and services of $62.4 million for the quarter ended
June
30, 2005. As a percentage of total net revenue, cost of goods and services
decreased to 78.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 from 82.0% in the
comparable prior year period.
Program
expenses (i.e., cost of services) associated with the sales services segment
for
the quarter ended June 30, 2006 were $39.2 million, 30.5% less than program
expenses of $56.5 million for the prior year period. As a percentage of sales
services segment revenue, program expenses for the quarters ended June 30,
2006
and 2005 were 82.0% and 84.9%, respectively, an increase in year-over-year
gross
profit margin of 2.9%. This improvement in gross profit percentage is primarily
attributable to an increased amount of incentive revenue recorded in the second
quarter of 2006 as compared to the comparable prior year period. The incentive
revenue pertained to the AstraZeneca sales force and will not continue in future
periods.
Cost
of
goods and services associated with the marketing services segment were $3.8
million, a $2.1 million 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, program expenses for
the
quarters ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were 52.8% and 62.0%, 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 June 30, 2006 was $7.2 million, 23.3% more than
$5.8 million in the comparable prior year period. This increase is primarily
due
to 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
second quarter of 2005. As a percentage of total net revenue, compensation
expense increased to 13.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 as compared
to
7.6% in the comparable prior year period. This percentage increase is primarily
due to the decrease in revenue in the second quarter of 2006 as compared to
the
comparable prior year period as well as the aforementioned increase in incentive
compensation accruals.
Compensation
expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 attributable to the sales services
segment was $5.3 million compared to $4.2 million for the quarter ended June
30,
2005; as a percentage of revenue it increased to 11.1% from 6.2% in the
comparable prior year period.
Compensation
expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 attributable to the marketing
services segment was $1.9 million, approximately 12.5% or $207,000 more than
the
comparable prior year period. This increase can be attributed to the accrual
of
incentive compensation in the current three-month period. As a percentage of
revenue, compensation expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 increased
to
26.1% from 17.3% in the comparable prior year period. This percentage increase
is primarily due to the decrease in revenue in the second quarter of 2006 as
compared to the comparable prior year period.

PDI,
INC.
Other
selling, general and administrative expenses
Total
other selling, general and administrative expenses were $4.8 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2006, 8.6% less than other selling, general and
administrative expenses of $5.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.
The
expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, were reduced by approximately
$600,000 in favorable legal settlement activity. The expenses for the quarter
ended June 30, 2005 were reduced by a $2.1 million payment that we received
as a
result of settling the Cellegy litigation matter in April of 2005 (See Note
7 to
the consolidated financial statements for further details). Another component
of
other selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of
2005
was the allowance for credit losses of $750,000 established for the TMX loans.
(See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements for further details).
The
remaining decrease was due to a reduction in facility and depreciation costs
of
approximately $600,000, reversals of bad debt expense of approximately $250,000,
and a reduction in office operations costs of $400,000, which consist primarily
of IT support and maintenance costs, business insurance, and other miscellaneous
office expenses.
Other
selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to the sales services
segment for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 was $3.9 million which was 8.1%
of
revenue, compared to other selling, general and administrative expenses for
the
comparable prior year period of $5.5 million, or 8.3% of revenue. This decrease
is primarily due to a decrease in allocated overhead costs such as facilities
costs and outsourced services.
Other
selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to the marketing
services segment for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 were approximately $1.1
million as compared to $1.7 million for the comparable prior year period; this
decrease can be attributed to reduced facility expense at the MR&C and VIM
business units.
Included
in other selling, general and administrative expenses for the PPG segment for
the three months ended June 30, 2006 were settlement payments from Cellegy
of
$375,000 offset by litigation costs surrounding the Cellegy litigation matter
totaling $159,000. For the quarter ended June 30, 2005, other selling, general
and administrative expenses included the $2.1 million legal settlement payment
we received that pertained to the Cellegy litigation matter.
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.
Operating
income (loss)
Operating
income for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 was approximately $37,000 compared
to
an operating loss of approximately $179,000 in the comparable prior year period.
There
was
an operating loss of $593,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 for the sales
services segment, $1.9 million less than the operating loss of $2.5 million
for
that segment in the comparable prior year period. The operating loss for the
second quarter of 2006 can be attributed to the reduced size of the sales force
in 2006; start-up costs of approximately $1.2 million associated with a new
contract awarded in May 2006; and $1.4 million in revenue that was not
recognized due to uncertainty around a client’s ability to pay for the services
that were provided. In 2005, the loss is attributable to the $2.8 million asset
impairment charge mentioned above.
Operating
income for the marketing services segment was $414,000 for the quarter ended
June 30, 2006 compared to operating income of $228,000 in that segment for
the
comparable prior year period. As a percentage of revenue, operating income
for
the marketing services segment was 5.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2006
as
compared to 2.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.
The
PPG
segment had operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 of $216,000
compared to operating income of $2.1 million in the comparable prior year
period. The operating income for both periods is attributable to settlement
amounts received from Cellegy, net of related legal expenses.
Gain
on investment
In
the
second quarter of 2005, we sold our ownership interest in In2Focus Sales
Development Services Limited, (In2Focus) for approximately $4.4 million. (See
Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements for more details on the
transaction).

INC.
Interest
income, net
Interest
income, net, for the quarters ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $1.2 million
and
$681,000, respectively. The increase in interest income was primarily due to
higher interest rates, which increased over the comparable prior year period.
Income
tax expense
The
federal and state corporate income tax expense was approximately $546,000 for
the quarter ended June 30, 2006, compared to income tax expense of $505,000
for
the quarter ended June 30, 2005. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended
June 30, 2006 was 43.6%, compared to an effective tax rate of 10.2% for the
quarter ended June 30, 2005. The increase in the effective tax rate for the
three month period ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the three month period
ended June 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 received in the second quarter of 2005,
which further reduced the effective tax rate for the three month period ended
June 30, 2005.
Income
from continuing operations
Income
from continuing operations for the quarters ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was
approximately $707,000 and $4.4 million, respectively.
Discontinued
operations
Revenue
from discontinued operations for the quarters ended June 30, 2006 and 2005
was
approximately $208,000 and $3.6 million, respectively. Income from discontinued
operations before income tax for the quarters ended June 30, 2006 and 2005
was
approximately $235,000 and $183,000, respectively. Income from discontinued
operations, net of tax, for the quarters ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was
approximately $188,000 and $72,000, respectively.
Net
Income
Net
income for the quarters ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $895,000 and $4.5
million, respectively.
Six
Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30,
2005
Revenue
Revenue
for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $132.1 million, 14.2% less than
revenue of $154.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005.
Revenue
from the sales services segment for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was
$114.1 million, 15.6% less than revenue of $135.2 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 six months of 2006 as
compared to the comparable prior year period.
Revenue
for the marketing services segment was $18.0 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2006, 4.5% less than the $18.8 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 $3.2 million due to fewer projects at the two
units, partially offset by a $2.4 million increase in revenue at Pharmakon.
Cost
of goods and services
Cost
of
goods and services for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $101.4 million,
18.3% less than cost of goods and services of $124.1 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2005. As a percentage of total net revenue, cost of goods and
services decreased to 76.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from 80.6%
in
the comparable prior year period. This improvement in gross profit percentage
is
attributable to a higher amount of incentive revenue earned in 2006 as compared
to the six months ended June 30, 2005.
Program
expenses associated with the sales services segment for the six months ended
June 30, 2006 were $91.7 million, 18.6% less than program expenses of $112.7
million for the prior year period. As a percentage of sales services segment
revenue, program expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were
80.4% and 83.4%, respectively.
Cost
of
goods and services associated with the marketing services segment were $9.7
million, a $1.7 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 goods and services decreased to
54.1%
from 60.6% in the comparable prior year period. This was due to improved margins
at both VIM and Pharmakon.

PDI,
INC.
Compensation
expense
Compensation
expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $13.6 million, 1.9% less
than
$13.9 million for the comparable prior year period. This decrease was primarily
due to reduced amounts in support services headcount, partially offset by
increases in incentive compensation being accrued in 2006. In 2005, we effected
those certain headcount reductions in an attempt to reduce our fixed
overhead.
Compensation
expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006 attributable to the sales
services segment was $9.5 million compared to $9.8 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2005; as a percentage of revenue it increased to 8.4% for the
six
month period ended June 30, 2006 from 7.2% 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 six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 attributable to the
marketing services segment was $4.1 million for both periods. As a percentage
of
revenue, compensation expense increased to 22.8% from 21.8% in the comparable
prior year period.
Other
selling, general and administrative expenses
Total
other selling, general and administrative expenses were $9.5 million for the
six
months ended June 30, 2006, 33.5% less than other selling, general and
administrative expenses of $14.3 million for the comparable prior year period.
The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in legal costs, net of
settlements, of approximately $750,000; facility and depreciation costs of
$1.2
million; a reduction in office operations costs of approximately $1.0 million;
bad debt expense was $1.3 million less than the prior year period; and reduced
costs associated with IT outsourcing and consulting. As a percentage of total
net revenue, total other selling, general and administrative expenses decreased
to 7.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from 9.3% in the comparable
prior
year period.
Other
selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to the sales services
segment for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $7.6 million, which was
6.7%
of revenue, compared to other selling, general and administrative expenses
of
$11.1 million, or 8.2% of revenue in the comparable prior year period. This
decrease is primarily due to a decrease in allocated overhead costs mentioned
above.
Other
selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to the marketing
services segment for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 was approximately
$2.2 million compared to $3.0 million for the comparable prior year period;
this
decrease can be attributed to reduced facility expense at the MR&C and VIM
business units.
Included
in other selling, general and administrative expenses for the PPG segment for
the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were settlement payments received
and related litigation expenses associated with the Cellegy litigation which
result in income of $299,000 and expense of $247,000, respectively.
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.
Operating
income (loss)
There
was
operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 of approximately $7.5
million compared to an operating loss of $1.1 million in the comparable prior
year period. The factors for the large increase are discussed in the following
paragraphs.
There
was
operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 for the sales services
segment of approximately $5.3 million, $6.5 million more than the operating
loss
of $1.2 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. The six months ended June 30, 2005 included
the $2.8 million asset impairment charge.
Operating
income for the marketing services segment was $2.0 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2006 compared to operating income of $329,000 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 10.9% for
the
six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to 1.7% for the quarter ended June
30, 2005.
The
PPG
segment had operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 of $299,000
and an operating loss of $247,000 for the six months ended June 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 six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $2.2 million
and $1.4 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 $3.6 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to income tax expense of
$396,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The effective tax rate for
the
six months ended June 30, 2006 was 37.0%, compared to an effective tax rate
of
8.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in the effective
tax
rate for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the six month
period ended June 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 received in the second quarter
of 2005, which further reduced the effective tax rate for the six month period
ended June 30, 2005.
Income
from continuing operations
Income
from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was
approximately $6.1 million, compared to income from continuing operations of
approximately $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005.
Discontinued
operations
Revenue
from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005
was
approximately $1.9 million and $7.6 million, respectively. Income from
discontinued operations before income tax for the six months ended
June 30, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $608,000 and $333,000, respectively.
Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the six months ended June
30, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $387,000 and $158,000,
respectively.
Net
Income
Net
income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $6.5 million and
$4.5
million, respectively.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of
June 30, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments
of
approximately $107.2 million and working capital of $94.7 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
six months ended June 30, 2006, net cash provided by operating activities was
$11.3 million, compared to $2.6 million net cash provided by operating
activities for the six months ended June 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 $2.9 million in depreciation and amortization and $593,000 in stock
compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006. As of June 30,
2006, we had $4.3 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 June 30, 2006,
we
had $16.2 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
six months ended June 30, 2006, net cash used in investing activities was $45.9
million as compared to $18.1 million provided by investing activities for the
comparable prior year period. We
purchased approximately $45.2 million of short-term investments in 2006 as
part
of our laddered portfolio of investment grade debt instruments, with a weighted
average maturity of 5.9 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 $905,000
of
capital expenditures primarily for computer equipment during the six months
ended June 30, 2006. Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30,
2005
were $4.1 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,
the
members of Pharmakon, LLC received approximately $1.4 million in additional
payments on April 1, 2005 based on Pharmakon’s attainment of the profit target
for the year ended December 31, 2004. 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
six months ended June 30, 2006, net cash provided by financing activities was
approximately $87,000, which was the proceeds received from the exercise of
stock options. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, cash used in financing
activities was $5.0 million. This consisted of $6.2 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.
At
our discretion, we may continue to repurchase shares on the open market or
in
privately negotiated transactions, or both, depending on cash flow expectations
and other uses of cash. Some or all of the repurchases will be made pursuant
to
a Company 10(b)5-1 Plan. All purchases will be made from our available cash.
There were no repurchases of shares during the six months ended June 30, 2006.
During the six months ended June 30, 2005 we repurchased approximately 580,000
shares and made cash payments of approximately $6.2 million.
Our
revenue and profitability depend to a great extent on our relationships with
a
limited number of large pharmaceutical companies. For the six months ended
June
30, 2006, we had two major clients that accounted for approximately 31.8% and
26.4%, respectively, or a total of 58.2% 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 $42.7 million in revenue for the
six months ended June 30, 2006, the current results will not be duplicated
in
upcoming quarters.
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 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 $5.0 million on our balance
sheet as of June 30, 2006 as a result of federal net operating losses which
will
be carried back to December 31, 2003. We expect to receive this refund in the
fourth quarter of 2006. We expect to receive state refunds totaling
approximately $400,000 in the fourth quarters of 2006 and 2007.
Due
to
the relative small size of the MD&D business unit and the near completion of
the closing-out process, the discontinuing of that unit is not expected to
have
a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of
operations in future periods.
25
PDI,
INC.
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. 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 June 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 June 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 June 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, Mater 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 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. That motion
is
currently pending. We believe that the allegations in this purported securities
class action are without merit and we intend to defend the action
vigorously.
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 June
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
six
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.
27
PDI,
INC.
In
addition to the initial $2,000,000 received on April 11, 2005, Cellegy has
paid
$200,000 in 2005 and $458,500 through June 30, 2006 towards its obligation
to
us. These payments were recorded as a credit to litigation expense in the
periods in which they were received. As June 30, 2006, the remaining balance
of
$2,341,500 for the promissory note and the $3,500,000 nonnegotiable convertible
senior note are recorded in other current assets and other assets, respectively,
with full allowances.
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 Nonnegotiable Convertible Senior 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 owes 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, 2006, the court dismissed the
December 1, 2005 breach of contract lawsuit without prejudice. This has no
effect on the original settlement.
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 $247,000. However, there can be no assurance that the court will 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 factor has been updated to reflect developments subsequent to
the
filing of that report.

PDI,
INC.
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.

4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
On
June
6, 2006, we held our 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. At the meeting Michael
Marquard, John Pietruski, and Frank Ryan were elected as Class II Directors
for
three-year terms with 11,896,065, 11,869,010 and 11,778,020 votes, respectively,
cast in favor of their election. As a result, in addition to three Class II
Directors that were elected at the meeting, our Board of Directors is currently
comprised of John P. Dugan (Chairperson), Dr. Joseph T. Curti and Stephen
Sullivan (Class I directors whose term expires in 2007), and John Federspiel,
Jack Stover and Jan Martens Vecsi (Class III directors whose term expires in
2008). In addition, the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent
registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2006 was ratified with 11,968,491
votes in favor, 7,481 votes against and zero votes withheld.
