BASIS
OF PRESENTATION:
|
The
accompanying unaudited interim condensed 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 for the year ended December 31, 2006 as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). The unaudited interim condensed
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 condensed 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 11, Discontinued
Operations. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June
30,
2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the
year ending December 31, 2007.

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 six
month
periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 is as follows:

Outstanding
options to purchase 524,386 shares of common stock and 303,105 stock-settled
stock appreciation rights (SARs) at June 30, 2007 were not included in the
computation of loss per share as they would be anti-dilutive. Outstanding
options to purchase 743,071 shares of common stock and 84,721 SARs at June
30,
2006 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 shares of common stock and therefore, the effect would have been
anti-dilutive.

(Tabular

Long-Lived
Assets
In
accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the Company reviews the
recoverability of long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such
assets may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted
cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss
is
recognized by reducing the recorded value of the asset to its fair value
measured by future discounted cash flows. This analysis requires estimates
of
the amount and timing of projected cash flows and, where applicable, judgments
associated with, among other factors, the appropriate discount rate. Such
estimates are critical in determining whether any impairment charge should
be
recorded and the amount of such charge if an impairment loss is deemed to
be
necessary. In addition, future events impacting cash flows for existing assets
could render a write-down or write-off necessary that previously required
no
such write-down or write-off. In the second quarter of 2007, the Company
recorded a non-cash charge of approximately $385,000 for furniture and leasehold
improvements related to the excess leased space at its Saddle River, New
Jersey
and Dresher, Pennsylvania locations. See Note 6, Facilities Realignment,
for
additional information. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2006, the
Company
recorded a non-cash charge of approximately $42,000 related to the impairment
of
certain capitalized software development costs associated with its Experts
and
Evidence web portal.
New
Accounting Pronouncements - Standards Implemented
The
Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109” (FIN 48) on January 1,
2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainties in
income
tax law. This Interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial
statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain
tax
positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. See Note 10
below
for additional information. The
Company’s adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on the Company’s
financial position or results of operations.

September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS
157). 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 provisions of this standard
will be
effective for the Company’s 2008 fiscal year. The Company is in the process of
evaluating the impact of adopting this statement.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115” (FAS 159). FAS 159 permits entities to elect to measure
eligible financial instruments at fair value. An entity shall report unrealized
gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected
in
earnings at each subsequent reporting date, and recognize upfront costs and
fees
related to those items in earnings as incurred and not deferred. This statement
is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. The provisions of this standard will be effective for
the Company’s 2008 fiscal year. Management is currently evaluating what
elections it plans to make and the impact of the provisions of FAS 159.

INVESTMENTS
IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES:
|
The
available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value and consist of auction
rate securities (ARSs) held by the Company as well as assets in a Rabbi Trust
associated with its deferred compensation plan. At June 30, 2007 and December
31, 2006, the carrying value of available-for-sale securities was approximately
$12.3 million and $33.2 million, respectively, which are included in short-term
investments. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, there was $11.7 million
and
$32.6 million, respectively, invested in ARSs. The
ARSs
are invested in high-grade bonds that have a weighted average maturity date
of
33.6 years with an average interest rate reset period of seven days. The
available-for-sale securities within the Company’s deferred compensation plan at
June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 consisted of approximately $174,000 and
$215,000 respectively, in money market accounts, and approximately $411,000
and
$447,000, respectively, in mutual funds. At June 30, 2007 and December 31,
2006,
included in accumulated other comprehensive income were gross unrealized
gains
of approximately $143,000 and $131,000, respectively, and gross unrealized
losses of approximately $3,000, respectively. In the six month periods ended
June 30, 2007 and 2006, included in other income, net were gross realized
gains
of approximately $20,000 and $11,000, respectively, and no gross realized
losses.

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 1.3 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 $7.7 million
and $9.7 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, as
collateral for its existing insurance policies and its facility leases. At
June
30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, held-to-maturity securities were included
in
short-term investments (approximately $8.1 million and $36.2 million,
respectively), other current assets (approximately $5.3 million and $7.2
million, respectively) and other long-term assets (approximately $2.4 million
and $2.5 million, respectively). At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006,

GOODWILL
AND OTHER INTANGIBLE
ASSETS:
|
For
the
six months ended June 30, 2007, there were no changes to the carrying amount
of
goodwill. Goodwill is attributable to the acquisition of the Company’s Pharmakon
business unit in August 2004 and is reported in the marketing services operating
segment.
All
identifiable intangible assets recorded as of June 30, 2007 are being amortized
on a straight-line basis over the lives of the intangibles, which range from
5
to 15 years.

OTHER
ASSETS:
|
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 on November
26,
2005. 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. During the first six months of 2007, and the years ended 2006
and
2005, TMX provided services to the Company valued at $9,000, $246,000, and
$245,000 respectively. The receipt of services in lieu of cash payment was
recorded as a credit to bad debt expense and a reduction of the receivable
in
the respective periods. At June 30, 2007, the loan receivable has a balance
of
$500,000, which is fully reserved.

FACILITIES
REALIGNMENT:
|
The
Company recorded facility realignment charges totaling approximately $2.0
million and $2.4 million during 2006 and 2005, respectively. These charges
were
for costs related to excess leased office space the Company has at its Saddle
River, New Jersey and Dresher, Pennsylvania facilities. 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 and long-term liabilities on the balance sheet. In
June
2007, the Company signed an agreement to sublease all of the excess leased
space
at its New Jersey location for the remainder of its lease term. This sublease
commences in August 2007 and is expected to provide approximately $4.2 million
in lease payments over eight and one half years. Also in June 2007, the Company
signed a sublease agreement and a letter of intent to sublease approximately
65%
of the excess leased space at its Pennsylvania location. Both leases are
for
terms of five years commencing in August 2007 and October 2007, respectively,
and are expected to provide approximately $1.3 million in lease payments
combined over the five year period. As a result, the Company recorded a net
credit of $15,000 to operations which includes a credit of approximately
$400,000 to adjust the accrual balance to reflect the negotiated sublease
terms
and a charge of approximately $385,000 for additional furniture and leasehold
improvement impairments related to the sublet space (this charge is a reduction
in the carrying value of the related assets). A

COMMITMENTS
AND CONTINGENCIES:
|
Litigation
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 were 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.
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
its 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 December 2005, the Company reached a tentative settlement of this action,
subject to court approval. In October 2006, the Company received preliminary
settlement approval from the court and the final approval hearing was held
in
January 2007. Pursuant to the settlement, the Company has made all payments
to
the class members, their counsel and the California Labor and Workforce
Development Agency in an aggregate amount of approximately $50,000, and
the
lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice in May 2007.

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 AG (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, 2007, 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, 2006 or the first
six
months of 2007.
Letters
of Credit
As
of
June 30, 2007, the Company has $7.7 million in letters of credit outstanding
as
required by its existing insurance policies and as required by its facility
leases. These
letters of credit are supported by investments in held-to-maturity securities.

Stock
Incentive Plans
On
March
30, 2007, under the terms of the stockholder-approved PDI, Inc. 2004 Stock
Award
Incentive Plan (the 2004 Plan), the Compensation and Management Development
Committee (the Compensation Committee) of the Board of Directors of the Company
approved the 2007 PDI, Inc. Long Term Incentive Plan (the 2007 LTI Plan).
This
plan includes grants of SARs and restricted stock to certain executives of
the
Company. In approving grants under this plan, the Compensation Committee
considered, among other things, 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. There were 97,426 shares of restricted stock
with a grant date fair value of $9.52 and 157,304 SARs issued with a grant
price
of $9.52 in the first quarter of 2007 under the 2007 LTI Plan. The Company
also
issued a sign-on grant of 1,800 shares of restricted stock with a grant date
fair value of $9.52 on March 30, 2007. In the second quarter the Company
issued
30,877 shares of restricted stock with a grant date fair value of $10.20
to the
non-employee independent members of the Company’s Board of Directors on the date
of its Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Tabular

At
January 1, 2007, the Company had a valuation allowance of approximately $6.8
million related to the Company’s net deferred tax assets. The Company performs
an analysis each quarter of the elements of net deferred tax assets to determine
whether the expected future income will more likely than not be sufficient
to
realize deferred tax assets. The Company’s recent operating results and
projections of future income weigh heavily in the Company’s overall assessment.
Included in net deferred tax assets is a deferred tax liability which arises
from the amortization of the tax basis in goodwill related to the Pharmakon
acquisition. In the first quarter of 2007 the Company determined that this
deferred tax liability would not be realizable for an indeterminate time
in the
future and consequently should not be included in net deferred tax assets
for
purposes of calculating the valuation allowance in any period. As a result,
the
Company increased the valuation allowance by $882,000 in the first
quarter. The Company does not believe this increase will be material to
the results of operations or its financial position in 2007. The Company
also
believes that the additional valuation allowance that would have resulted
as of
December 31, 2006 and 2005 was not material to the results of operations
or the
financial position of the Company in those years.
As
highlighted in Note 2 above, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48
on
January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company
did
not recognize a material adjustment in the liability for unrecognized income
tax
benefits. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company had approximately
$4.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would affect the
Company’s effective tax rate if recognized.
The
Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits
in income tax expense. The Company has $1.4 million and $1.2 million for
the
payment of interest and penalties accrued at June 30, 2007 and December 31,
2006, respectively.
The
Company and its subsidiaries file a U.S. Federal consolidated income tax
return
and consolidated and separate income tax returns in numerous state tax
jurisdictions. The following tax years remain subject to examination as of
June
30, 2007:

The
Company has reached an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
examiner in regards to the audit for the 2003, 2004 and 2005 tax years and
is
waiting final approval by the Joint Committee. The proposed adjustments are
not
material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash
flows. The Company does not anticipate a significant change to the total

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. There was no residual activity in the
MD&D business during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and the
Company does not anticipate any in future periods. All prior periods have
been
restated to reflect the treatment of this unit as a discontinued operation.

FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This
Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2007 (Form 10-Q) contains
“forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange
Act). Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about
our
plans, objectives, beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements include statements preceded by, followed by or
that
include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “estimates,”
“intends,” “projects,” “should,” “may,” “will” or similar words and expressions.
These forward-looking statements are contained throughout this Form 10-Q.
Forward-looking
statements are only predictions and are not guarantees of performance. These
statements are based on current expectations and assumptions involving judgments
about, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions
and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to
predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. These statements
also involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that
may
cause our actual results to be materially different from those expressed
or
implied by any forward-looking statement. Many of these factors are beyond
our
ability to control or predict. Such factors include, but are not limited
to, the
following:
· Changes
in outsourcing trends and promotional, marketing and sales expenditures in
the
pharmaceutical, biotechnology and life sciences industries;
· Loss
of
one or more of our significant customers or a material reduction in service
revenues from such customers;
· Senior
management’s ability to successfully implement our updated long-term strategic
plan;
· Competition
in our industry;
· Our
ability to attract and retain key employees and management personnel;
· Product
liability claims against us; and
· Our,
or
our customers’, failure to comply with applicable laws and healthcare
regulations.
Please
see Part II - Item 1A - “Risk Factors” in this Form 10-Q and Part I - Item 1A -
“Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2006, as well as other documents we file with the United States Securities
and
Exchange Commission (the SEC) from time to time, for other important factors
that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our current
expectations and from the forward-looking statements discussed in this Form
10-Q. Because of these and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions, you
should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. In
addition, these statements speak only as of the date of the report in which
they
are set forth, and we undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly
any
forward-looking statements for any reason.
Overview
We
are a
provider of commercialization services to the biopharmaceutical industry.
We are
dedicated to maximizing the return on investment for our clients by providing
strategic flexibility, sales, marketing and commercialization expertise and
a
philosophy of performance. We have a variety of agreement types that we enter
into with our customers, from fee for service arrangements to arrangements
which
involve risk-sharing and incentive based provisions.

PDI,

Description
of Businesses
Sales
Services
This
segment includes our Performance Sales Teams and Select Access™Teams.
This segment, which focuses on product detailing, represented 75.4% of
consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Product
detailing involves a representative meeting face-to-face with targeted
physicians and other healthcare decision makers to provide a technical review
of
the product being promoted. Contract sales teams can be deployed on either
a
dedicated or shared basis.
Performance
Sales Teams
A
performance contract sales team works exclusively on behalf of one customer.
The
sales team is customized to meet the specifications of the team’s customer with
respect to representative profile, physician targeting, product training,
incentive compensation plans, integration with customers’ in-house sales forces,
call reporting platform and data integration. Without adding permanent
personnel, the customer gets a high quality, industry-standard sales team
comparable to its internal sales force.
Select
Access
Select
Access represents a shared sales team business model where multiple
non-competing brands are represented for different pharmaceutical companies.
Using these teams, we make a face-to-face selling resource available to those
customers who
want
an alternative to a dedicated team. We are 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 customer than programs involving a
dedicated sales force. With a shared sales team, the customer receives targeted
coverage of its physician audience within the representatives’ geographic
territories.
Marketing
Services
This
segment, which includes our Pharmakon, TVG and VIM business units, represented
24.6% of consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Pharmakon
Pharmakon’s
emphasis is on the creation, design and implementation of promotional
interactive peer persuasion programs. Each marketing program can be offered
through a number of different venues, including teleconferences, dinner
meetings, “lunch and learns” and web casts. Within each of our programs, we
offer a number of services including strategic design, tactical execution,
technology support, audience recruitment, moderator services and thought
leader
management. In the last ten years, Pharmakon has conducted over 45,000 peer
persuasion programs with more than 550,000 participants. Pharmakon’s peer
programs can be designed as promotional or marketing research/advisory programs.
In addition to peer persuasion programs, Pharmakon also provides promotional
communications activities. We acquired Pharmakon in August 2004.
TVG
Marketing Research & Consulting
TVG
Marketing Research & Consulting (TVG) employs leading edge, and in some
instances proprietary, research methodologies to 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 highest impact business strategy, profile,
positioning, message, execution, implementation and post implementation for
a
product. Our marketing research model improves the knowledge customers 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.
Vital
Issues in Medicine
Our
Vital
Issues in Medicine business unit (VIM®)
develops and executes continuing medical education services funded by the
biopharmaceutical and medical device and diagnostics industries. Using an
expert-driven, customized approach, we provide faculty development/advocacy,
continuing medical education activities in a wide variety of formats, and
interactive initiatives to generate additional value to our customers'
portfolios.
15
PDI,
Inc.
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, 2007 or for the year ended December 31, 2006.
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
2007
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 generate results that meet or exceed performance targets. Contracts
may generally 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
Historically,
the majority of our revenue has been generated by contracts for dedicated
sales
teams. These contracts are generally for terms of one to two 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 the contract 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 take the form of either master service
agreements with a term of one to three years or contracts specifically related
to particular projects with terms typically lasting from two to six months.
These contracts are generally terminable by the customer for any reason.
Upon
termination, the customer is generally responsible for payment for all work
completed to date, plus the cost of any nonrefundable commitments made on
behalf
of the customer. There is significant customer concentration in our Pharmakon
business, and the loss or termination of one or more of Pharmakon’s large master
service agreements could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition or results of operations. Due to the typical size of
most of
TVG’s and VIM’s contracts, it is unlikely the loss or termination of any
individual TVG or VIM contract would have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition or results of operations.
PPG
We
currently have no contracts in our PPG segment.

Three
Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2006
Revenue
Revenue
for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $27.8 million, 49.4% less than revenue
of $55.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006.
Revenue
from the sales services segment for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $19.5
million, 59.1% less than revenue of $47.8 million from that segment for the
comparable prior year period. This decrease is attributable to the termination
and expiration of certain contracts during 2006 as described below.
Effective
April 30, 2006, AstraZeneca terminated its contract sales force arrangement
with
us;
this
contract represented $43.0 million in revenue in 2006, $14.2 million of which
was earned in the quarter ended June 30, 2006. On September 26, 2006, we
announced that GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) would not be renewing its contract with
us
when it expired on December 31, 2006. This contract represented $67.4 million
in
revenue in 2006, $17.4 million of which was earned in the quarter ended June
30,
2006. 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. This contract represented approximately $18.3
million in revenue in 2006, $4.7 million of which was earned in the quarter
ended June 30, 2006. Additionally, on March 21, 2007, we announced that a
large
pharmaceutical company customer had notified us of its intention not to renew
its contract sales engagement with us upon its scheduled expiration on May
12,
2007. This contract, which had a one-year term, represented approximately
$37
million in annual revenue. The loss in revenue from these terminated and
expired
contracts was partially offset by new sales force arrangements we entered
into
during the first six months of 2007, including a contract sales force engagement
for our Select Access business unit in March 2007 which is expected to generate
approximately $13 million in revenue over its one-year term and a dedicated
contract sales engagement entered into with a top-five pharmaceutical company
during June 2007 which is expected to generate approximately $23 million
in
revenue during its one-year term.
Revenue
for the marketing services segment was $8.2 million in the quarter ended
June
30, 2007, 15.8% more than the $7.1 million in the comparable prior year period.
This increase is primarily attributed to increases in revenue at both the
TVG
and VIM business units due to an increase in new projects at both units.
The
PPG
segment did not have any revenue in the first six months of 2007 and
2006.
Cost
of services
Cost
of
services for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $20.6 million, 52.0% less
than
cost of services of $43.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. Cost
of
services associated with the sales services segment for the quarter ended
June
30, 2007 was $16.4 million, 58.2% less than cost of services of $39.2 million
for the prior year period. The decrease is attributable to the contract
terminations discussed above. Cost of services associated with the marketing
services segment was $4.2 million, a $480,000 increase from the comparable
prior
year period due to the increase in projects in the second quarter of 2007.
17
PDI,
Inc.
Gross
Profit
The
gross
profit percentage for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was 25.7%, an increase
of
3.9 percentage points from the comparable prior year period. This increase
in
gross margin was mainly attributable to the marketing services segment, and
its
higher gross margins, constituting a larger percentage of consolidated revenue
for the quarter ended June 30, 2007.
The
gross
profit percentage for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 for the sales services
segment was 16.1%, a decrease from the 18.0% gross profit percentage in the
comparable prior year period.
The
gross
margin for the marketing services segment increased to 48.5% in the quarter
ended June 30, 2007 as compared to 47.2% in the comparable prior year period.
This increase in gross profit was mainly attributable to improved margins
within
the TVG business unit.
Compensation
expense
Compensation
expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $6.3 million, 11.6% less
than
$7.2 million in the comparable prior year period. This decrease is primarily
due
to a decrease in employee costs when compared to the quarter ended June 30,
2006. As a percentage of total net revenue, compensation expense increased
to
22.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 as compared to 13.0% in the comparable
prior year period. This increase is primarily due to the decrease in revenue
in
the second quarter of 2007 as compared to the comparable prior year
period.
Compensation
expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 attributable to the sales services
segment was $4.2 million compared to $5.3 million for the quarter ended June
30,
2006; as a percentage of revenue it increased to 21.3% from 11.1% in the
comparable prior year period.
Compensation
expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 attributable to the marketing
services segment was $2.1 million, approximately 16.6% more than the comparable
prior year period. This can be primarily attributed to an increase in employee
costs within the TVG business unit. As a percentage of revenue, compensation
expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 increased to 26.3% from 26.1%
in the
comparable prior year period.
Other
selling, general and administrative expenses
Total
other selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $4.7
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and $4.8 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2006.
Other
selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to the sales services
segment for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 were $3.4 million, which constituted
17.6% of revenue, compared to other selling, general and administrative expenses
for the comparable prior year period of $3.9 million, which constituted 8.1%
of
revenue for that period. This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in
allocated overhead costs.
Other
selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to the marketing
services segment for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 were approximately $1.3
million as compared to $1.1 million for the comparable prior year
period.
Other
selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to the PPG segment
for
the quarter ended June 30, 2007 were zero, compared to a credit of $216,000
in
the comparable prior year period. This consisted of settlement payments of
$375,000, partially offset by litigation costs totaling $159,000.
Operating
(loss) income
There
was
an operating loss of $3.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 as
compared to operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 of
approximately $37,000. This decrease is primarily attributable to the decline
in
revenue and gross profit in the sales services segment discussed previously.
There
was
an operating loss of $4.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 for
the
sales services segment, $3.9 million more than the operating loss of $593,000
for that segment in the comparable prior year period. The increased loss
is
primarily due to the loss of the significant sales force contracts discussed
above.
Operating
income for the marketing services segment was $561,000 for the quarter ended
June 30, 2007 compared to operating income of $414,000 in that segment for
the
comparable prior year period. The increase in operating income is due to
an
increase in revenue and gross profit within the marketing services segment.
As a
percentage of revenue, operating income for the marketing services segment
was
6.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 as compared to 5.8% for the quarter
ended June 30, 2006.
The
PPG
segment had no operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. The
PPG
segment had operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 of $216,000.
The operating income was attributable to settlement amounts received from
Cellegy, net of related legal expenses.
18
PDI,
Inc.
Other
income, net
Other
income, net, for the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $1.6 million
and
$1.2 million, respectively and consisted primarily of interest income. The
increase in interest income is primarily due to higher interest rates and
higher
cash balances for the quarter ended June 30, 2007.
Income
tax expense
The
federal and state corporate income tax expense was approximately $187,000
for
the quarter ended June 30, 2007, compared to income tax expense of $546,000
for
the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended
June 30, 2007 was 8.1%, compared to an effective tax rate of 43.6% for the
quarter ended June 30, 2006. The decrease is primarily attributable to the
tax
loss for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007 and full valuation allowance
on the net deferred tax assets except for the basis difference in goodwill.
The
tax expense for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007 is attributable
to
the increase in the deferred tax liability related to the basis difference
in
goodwill as noted, state and local alternative taxes and additional interest
accrued on tax reserves.
(Loss)
income from continuing operations
There
was
a loss from continuing operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 of
$2.5
million, compared to income from continuing operations of approximately $707,000
in the comparable prior year period.
Discontinued
operations
There
was
no income from discontinued operations during the quarter ended June 30,
2007.
Revenue from discontinued operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2006
was
approximately $208,000. Income from discontinued operations before income
tax
for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 was approximately $235,000. Income from
discontinued operations, net of tax, for the quarter ended June 30, 2006
was
approximately $188,000.
Net
(loss)
income
There
was
a net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 of approximately $2.5 million,
compared to net income of approximately $895,000 in the comparable prior
year
period.
Six
Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30,
2006
Revenue
Revenue
for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $60.6 million, 54.1% less than
revenue of $132.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Revenue
from the sales services segment for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was
$45.7
million, 59.9% less than revenue of $114.1 million from that segment for
the
comparable prior year period. This decrease is attributable to the termination
and expiration of certain sales force contracts during 2006 as described
above.
Revenue
for the marketing services segment was $14.9 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2007, 17.2% less than the $18.0 million in the comparable prior
year
period. This decrease can be attributed to decreases in revenue at all three
business units within the marketing services segment.
Cost
of services
Cost
of
services for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $44.5 million, 56.2%
less
than cost of services of $101.4 million for the six months ended June 30,
2006.
Cost of services associated with the sales services segment for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 were $36.7 million, 60.0% less than cost of services
of
$91.7 million for the prior year period. The decrease is attributable to
the
termination and expiration of the contract sales contracts discussed above.
Cost
of services associated with the marketing services segment was $7.7 million,
a
$2.0 million decrease from the comparable prior year period.
Gross
Profit
The
gross
profit percentage for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was 26.6%, an increase
of 3.4 percentage points from the comparable prior year period. This increase
in
gross margin was mainly attributable to the marketing services segment, and
its
higher gross margins, constituting a larger percentage of consolidated revenue
for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
The
gross
profit percentage for the six
months ended June 30,
2007
for the sales services segment was 19.7%, which is consistent with the 19.6%
in
the comparable prior year period.
19
PDI,
Inc.
The
gross
margin for the marketing services segment increased to 48.0% in the six months
ended June 30, 2007 as compared to 45.9% in the comparable prior year period.
This increase in gross profit was mainly attributable to improved margins
at TVG
and to Pharmakon constituting a larger percentage of segment revenue as
Pharmakon typically has higher gross margins than the TVG and VIM business
units.
Compensation
expense
Compensation
expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $12.4 million, 8.8% less
than
$13.6 million for the comparable prior year period. This decrease was primarily
due to reduced employee expenses at our corporate office.
Compensation
expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007 attributable to the sales
services segment was $7.9 million compared to $9.5 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2006; as a percentage of revenue it increased to 17.2% for
the
six month period ended June 30, 2007 from 8.4% 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, 2007 attributable to the marketing
services segment was $4.5 million, a 11.3% increase from $4.1 million in
the
comparable prior year period. This was due primarily to the increase in employee
costs at our TVG business unit. As a percentage of revenue, compensation
expense
increased to 30.7% from 22.8% in the comparable prior year period.
Other
selling, general and administrative expenses
Total
other selling, general and administrative expenses were $9.8 million for
the six
months ended June 30, 2007, 3.5% more than other selling, general and
administrative expenses of $9.5 million for the comparable prior year period.
For the six months ended June 30, 2006 other selling, general and administrative
expenses benefited from $1.3 million in reversals of bad debt and litigation
settlement accruals as well as receipt of settlement payments. As a percentage
of total net revenue, total other selling, general and administrative expenses
increased to 16.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from 7.2% in the
comparable prior year period due to the decrease in revenue in 2007.
Other
selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to the sales services
segment for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were approximately
$7.6
million for both periods. As a percentage of revenue it increased to 16.5%
from
6.7% in the comparable prior year period. This increase is due to a decrease
in
revenue within the sales services segment.
Other
selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to the marketing
services segment for the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were
approximately $2.2 million for both periods. As a percentage of revenue it
increased to 15.3% from 12.2% in the comparable prior year period.
There
were no other selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 for PPG. Included in other selling, general and
administrative expenses for the PPG segment for the six months ended June
30,
2006 were settlement payments received and related litigation expenses which
resulted in a credit of $299,000.
Operating
(loss) income
There
was
an operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2007 of approximately
$6.1
million compared to operating income of $7.5 million in the comparable prior
year period. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decline in revenue
and gross profit in the sales services segment discussed above.
There
was
an operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2007 for the sales services
segment of approximately $6.4 million, $11.7 million less than operating
income
of $5.3 million for that segment in the comparable prior year period. The
decrease is primarily attributable to the contract terminations discussed
above.
Operating
income for the marketing services segment was $299,000 for the six months
ended
June 30, 2007 compared to operating income of $2.0 million in that segment
for
the comparable prior year period. The decrease is attributable to decreased
operating income from all three business units within the segment. As a
percentage of revenue, operating income for the marketing services segment
decreased to 2.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to 10.9%
for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
The
PPG
segment had no operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The
PPG
segment had operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 of $299,000.
The operating income pertained to the receipt of Cellegy settlement payments
offset by Cellegy litigation expenses incurred.
Other
income, net
Other
income, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $2.9 million
and $2.2 million, respectively, and consisted primarily of interest income.
The
increase in interest income is primarily due to higher interest rates and
higher
average cash balances for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
20
PDI,
Inc.
Income
tax expense
The
federal and state corporate income tax expense was approximately $1.2 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to income tax expense of
$3.6
million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The effective tax rate for
the
six months ended June 30, 2007 was 37.7%, compared to an effective tax rate
for
the six months ended June 30, 2006 of 37.0%. The increase in the effective
tax
rate for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the comparable
prior year period was impacted by an increase of $882,000 in the valuation
allowance on deferred tax for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. See
Note
10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for details on the
increase in the valuation allowance.

There
was
a loss from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007
of
approximately $4.4 million, compared to income from continuing operations
of
approximately $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Discontinued
operations
There
was
no income from discontinued operations during the six months ended June 30,
2007. Revenue from discontinued operations for the six months ended June

There
was
a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2007 of $4.4 million. There
was net
income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 of $6.5 million.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of
June 30, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments
of
approximately $111.3 million and working capital of $110.8 million, compared
to
cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $114.7
million and working capital of approximately $112.2 million at December 31,
2006.
For
the
six months ended June 30, 2007, net cash used by operating activities was
$2.8
million, compared to $11.3 million net cash provided by operating activities
for
the six months ended June 30, 2006. The main components of cash used by
operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2007
were:
·
|
the
net loss when adjusted for depreciation and other non-cash items
of $4.1
million, which includes depreciation expense of $2.2 million and
stock
compensation expense of $576,000, which resulted in a use of cash
of
approximately $337,000;
|
·
a
net
decrease in other changes in assets and liabilities of $2.4 million, which
includes a $12.6 million decrease in total liabilities, partially offset
by $6.2
million of net collections of accounts receivable.
The
net
changes in the “Other changes in assets and liabilities” section of the
condensed 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.
As
of
June 30, 2007, we had $2.5 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, 2007, we had $10.6 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, 2007, net cash provided by investing activities
was
$48.5 million as compared to $45.9 million used in investing activities for
the
comparable prior year period. This change reflects a movement towards
investments that have greater liquidity and shorter-term maturities when
compared to the comparable prior year period. This change is consistent with
the
implementation of our strategic plan and the potential need to utilize our
cash
to make investments in our business, including acquisitions. 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 had approximately $567,000 of capital expenditures primarily
for
computer equipment and software during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $905,000,
also
primarily for computer equipment. For both periods, all capital expenditures
were funded out of available cash.
For
the
six months ended June 30, 2007, there was $138,000 net cash used in financing
activities. This represents shares that were delivered back to us and included
in treasury stock for the payment of taxes resulting from the vesting of
restricted stock. In
21
PDI,
Inc.
the
comparable prior year period, there was $87,000 net cash provided by financing
activities. This amount represents proceeds received from the exercise of
stock
options.
On
November 7, 2006 we announced that our Board of Directors authorized us to
repurchase up to one million shares of our common stock. We did not repurchase
any shares of our common stock during 2006. As of the date of this Form 10-Q,
we
have not repurchased any shares of our common stock during 2007 in the open
market. Due to our current desire to utilize cash to invest in our business
and
implement our strategic plan, including acquisitions, we do not anticipate
repurchasing shares under this program in the immediate future. We will
periodically review our uses of cash, including the merits of repurchasing
our
shares under this program. Purchases, if any, will be made from our available
cash.
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, 2007, we had two major clients that accounted for approximately 25.7%
and
12.3%, respectively, or a total of 38.0% 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, 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
March
21, 2007, we announced that a large pharmaceutical company customer (our
largest
client in 2007) had given notification of its intention not to renew its
contract sales engagement with us when it expired on May 12, 2007. This
contract, which was for a term of one-year, represented approximately $37
million in annual revenue. Unless and until we generate sufficient new business
to offset the loss of this contract, our current results will not be duplicated
in future periods and future revenue and cash flows will further
decrease. In
addition, Select Access’ services to a significant customer are seasonal in
nature, occurring primarily in the winter season. We estimate cash flows
used in
operations to be approximately $10 million in 2007, unless lost business
is
replaced.
In
June
2007, we
signed an agreement to sublease all of the excess leased space at our New
Jersey
location for the remainder of our lease term. This sublease commences in
August
2007 and is expected to provide approximately $4.2 million in lease payments
over eight and one half years. Also in June 2007, we signed a sublease agreement
and a letter of intent to sublease approximately 65% of the excess leased space
at our Pennsylvania location. Both leases are for terms of five years commencing
in August 2007 and October 2007, respectively, and are expected to provide
approximately $1.3 million in lease payments combined over the five year
period.
The table below summarizes our contractual obligations with initial terms
exceeding one year and estimated minimum future rental payments required
by
non-cancelable operating leases with initial or remaining lease terms exceeding
one year are as follows:

Cash
flows from discontinued operations are included in the condensed consolidated
statement of cash flows in 2006. The absence of cash flows from the discontinued
operation has had no material impact on cash flows. We are not expecting
any
material cash outlays with regards to this discontinued operation in the
future.
Acquisitions
are a part of our corporate strategy. We believe that our existing cash balances
and expected cash flows generated from operations will be sufficient to meet
our
operating requirements for the next 12 months. However, we may require
alternative forms of financing if and when we make acquisitions. We continue
to
evaluate and review financing opportunities and acquisition candidates in
the
ordinary course of business.
22
PDI,
Inc.
We
have
federal income tax receivables, net of the federal tax provision, of
approximately $1.9 million on our balance sheet as of June 30, 2007. We expect
to receive these refunds in 2007.
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 and we have no interest bearing long term or short term
debt.
At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 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, 2007 were composed
of the instruments described in the preceding paragraph. All of those
investments mature by September 2007, or have interest reset periods not
greater
than seven days. If interest rates were to increase or decrease by one
percent, the fair value of our investments would have an insignificant increase
or decrease primarily due to the quality of the investments and the near
term
maturity.
Item
4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of disclosure controls and procedures
Our
management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief
financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls
and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Form
10-Q.
Based
on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer
have
concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and
procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed
by
us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (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 officer and chief financial officer, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Our
management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer,
does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal
controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter
how
well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute,
assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the
design
of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints
and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.
Because
of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls
can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud,
if any, within PDI, Inc. have been detected.
Changes
in internal controls
There
has
been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined
in

II. OTHER INFORMATION

1. Legal Proceedings
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, 2007, 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, 2006 or the
first
six months of 2007.
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. In October 2006, we received preliminary
settlement approval from the court and the final approval hearing was held
in
January 2007. Pursuant to the settlement, we have made all payments to the
class
members, their counsel and the California Labor and Workforce Development
Agency
in an aggregate amount of approximately $50,000, and the lawsuit was dismissed
with prejudice in May 2007.
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
In
addition to the factors generally affecting the economic and competitive
conditions in our markets, you should carefully consider the additional risk
factors that could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial
condition or results of operations, which are set forth in our Annual Report
on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
There
have been no material changes to the risk factors included in our Annual
Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, except that the following
risk factors have been updated to reflect developments subsequent to the
filing
of that report.
Most
of our service revenue is derived from a limited number of customers, the
loss
of any one of which could materially and 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. For
the
six months ended June 30, 2007, our two largest customers accounted for
approximately 25.7% and 12.3%, respectively, or approximately 38.0% in the
aggregate, of our service revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2006,
our
three largest customers accounted for 28.5%, 18.3% and 9.9%, respectively,
or
approximately 56.7% in the aggregate, of our service revenue. For the year
ended
December 31, 2005, our three largest customers, each of whom represented
10% or
more of our service revenue, accounted for, in the aggregate, approximately
73.6% of our service revenue. We are likely to continue to experience a high
degree of customer concentration, particularly if there is further consolidation
within the pharmaceutical industry.

PDI,

The
loss
or a significant reduction of business from any of our major customers could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results
of operations. For example, as announced on February 28, 2006, AstraZeneca
terminated its contract sales force arrangement with us effective April 30,
2006. The termination affected approximately 800 field representatives, and
the
impact on revenue was approximately $63.8 million in 2006. Additionally,
on
September 26, 2006, we announced that GSK would not be renewing its contract
with us when it expired on December 31, 2006. This represented a loss of
revenue
between $65 and $70 million for 2007. 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 represented approximately $18 million to $20 million
in
revenue on an annual basis, was scheduled to expire on December 31, 2006.
In
addition, on March 21, 2007, we announced that a large pharmaceutical company
customer had provided us with notification of its intention not to renew
its
contract sales engagement with us upon its scheduled expiration on May 12,
2007.
This contract, which was for a term of one year, represented approximately
$37
million in annual revenue.
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 two years (certain of
our
operating entities have contracts of shorter duration) and many may be
terminated by the customer
at any time for any reason. Additionally, certain of our customers have the
ability to significantly reduce the number of representatives we deploy on
their
behalf. For example, as discussed above, AstraZeneca terminated its contract
sales force arrangement with us effective April 30, 2006. The termination
affected approximately 800 field representatives. The revenue impact was
approximately $63.8 million in 2006. Additionally, the expiration and/or
termination of the sales force contracts of GSK, sanofi-aventis and the other
large pharmaceutical company customer discussed in the risk factor above
represent a loss of approximately $95 million in revenue for 2007 as compared
to
2006.
The
early
termination or significant reduction of a contract by one of our customers
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.
Due
to the expiration and/or termination of several significant contracts during
2006 and 2007 and management’s intention to implement our long-term strategic
plan during 2007 and beyond, our revenue and results of operations for the
year
ended December 31, 2006 cannot be relied upon as representative of the revenue
and results of operations that we may achieve in 2007 and future
periods.
As
noted
above, during 2006 and the first half of 2007, we experienced the expiration
and/or termination of several significant contracts, including termination
of
our AstraZeneca sales contract force effective as of April 30, 2006, the
termination of our contract sales agreement with sanofi-aventis effective
as of
December 1, 2006, the expiration of our contract sales agreement with GSK
on
December 31, 2006 and the expiration of our contract sales arrangement with
a
large pharmaceutical company customer on May 12, 2007. These four customers
accounted for an aggregate of approximately $151 million of revenue during
2006.
Unless and until we generate sufficient new business to offset the loss of
these
contracts, our 2006 financial results will not be duplicated in future periods
and future revenue and cash flows from operations will decrease significantly.
In addition, we expect to incur a net loss for 2007 and may incur net losses
in
future periods. Our senior management intends to implement our long-term
strategic plan during 2007 and beyond. This plan includes, in part, a focus
on
supplementing our current service offerings with complementary commercialization
service offerings to the biopharmaceutical and life sciences industries.
To the
extent this element of our strategic plan is implemented during 2007 and
in
future periods, these will constitute new service offerings for which there
were
no comparable financial results during 2006.
Our
business will suffer if we are unable to hire and retain key management
personnel to fill critical vacancies.
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. Currently, we have
a
significant vacancy in our executive management. Steven K. Budd, the former
president of our sales services segment, resigned effective April 6, 2007.
We
are currently engaged in a process to identify Mr. Budd’s successor. Our failure
to attract and retain qualified individuals could have a material adverse
effect
on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Risks
associated with insurance plan claims could increase future expenses and
materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results
of
operations.
We
use a
combination of insurance and self-insurance to provide for potential liabilities
for workers’ compensation, automobile and general liability and employee health
care benefits. Although the liabilities that have been recorded for these
claims
represent our best estimate based on actuarial data, as well as on historical
trends, any projection of these losses is subject to a high degree
of
25
PDI,
Inc.
variability
and we may not be able to accurately predict the number or value of the claims
that occur. In the event that our actual liability exceeds our estimate for
any
given period or if we are unable to control rapidly increasing health care
costs, our business, financial condition and results of operations could
be
materially and adversely affected.
Item
4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
